Crossover Anime: Starting by defeating the Dragon King, then unexpectedly meeting a child.

The room wasn't very big; if a few more people came in, it would feel crowded even if everyone was standing.

Takeda Saegusa stared at Dongfang Chen: "What do you have to say?"

"You should be able to see it, right? The evil spirit behind Yotsuya-kun," Dongfang Chen said bluntly.

As soon as Dongfang Chen finished speaking, the evil spirit behind Yotsuya Miko turned its head toward him, and a hideous face grew on its stomach, with bulging eyes, emitting roars.

"It's so itchy~"

It seemed to only know how to say those two words, but it just walked slowly towards Dongfang Chen, as if it wasn't afraid of Dongfang Chen and the others running away at all.

You should know that if other evil spirits discover that humans can see them, they will instantly reveal their most terrifying side, and then rush forward to tear the people who can see them to pieces and devour them alive!

Based on Dongfang Chen's current understanding of evil spirits, eating human bodies or souls is like a perfect tonic for them.

After eating it, the most obvious change is that its strength skyrockets, along with its size increasing and its appearance becoming even more terrifying.

"Move a little to the side to avoid accidental injury."

Seeing that the evil spirit was about to attack him, he quickly gave a warning.

Yotsuya Miko immediately ran behind him and pulled the bewildered Takeda Mie towards a corner.

Dongfang Chen confronts the evil spirit head-on. Judging by size alone, even three Dongfang Chens combined might not be as tall as it.

"呲呲~"

As lightning coiled around Dongfang Chen's body, it instantly condensed on his right fist. The bright blue-white lightning was visible even to those outside.

Accompanied by the evil spirit's wails, it was instantly reduced to ashes by Dongfang Chen's punch.

"Emm, this kind of suppression without causing widespread damage is really uncomfortable."

He clenched his fist, somewhat dissatisfied.

However, there's no way around it; the destructive power of lightning is inherently localized, and controlling it to prevent damage to objects in a confined space can be quite restrictive.

"As expected of Dongfang Jun, you destroyed that evil spirit with a single blow!"

Yotsuya Miko looked at him with longing.

If she also possessed such immense power, even evil spirits wouldn't be so terrifying, would they?

Takeda Saegusa, on the other hand, was completely stunned, his eyes and mouth wide open, clearly deeply shocked.

"It's alright, I just got lucky to have this power." Dongfang Chen smiled.

"That's great. By comparison, my luck is absolutely terrible."

Being terrified by evil spirits anytime, anywhere is incredibly unlucky!

"So, has this old lady almost recovered?"

Dongfang Chen walked up to Takeda Mie and said calmly.

"You—no, are you a god?"

Coming to his senses, Takeda Mie asked with a serious expression.

"No, I'm just an ordinary human who's had good luck. Let's get down to business. I'd like to learn from you how to make exorcism tools, is that alright?"

Dongfang Chen asked earnestly in a pleading tone.

Hearing Dongfang Chen's words, she did not respond directly, but shook her head and said, "With the terrifying power you possess, you don't need such a thing at all, do you?"

“Indeed, I don’t need it myself. But my family and friends do. If possible, I still hope that none of them will be haunted by evil spirits or demons.”

"So, that's why you deliberately used that power in front of me, right?"

Takeda Saegusa stared at him expressionlessly, seemingly quite displeased with his actions.

"I'm sorry, I just thought it would be more convincing this way, please forgive me."

Dongfang Chen clasped his hands in apology.

Ultimately, he's trying to extract information from someone's past, because he needs their help.

But as a sorceress, she does have some skills. If you don't offer something, you'll likely be easily dismissed by her.

"Let me think about it..."

Takeda Saegusa silently turned away, closed her eyes, and pondered the pros and cons.

After a couple of minutes, she sighed softly, turned around slowly, and said, "I can teach you, but..."

"I will pay you ten million yen as tuition. Is that alright?"

Before she could finish speaking, Dongfang Chen immediately threw out his own chip.

Ten million is just the beginning; if that's not enough, we'll add more!

He knew that the reason why Takeda Mie was still running a shop at such an advanced age was simply to earn more money for his retirement and not become a burden on his children when he returned home.

As for whether it's worth spending so much money?

In terms of value, if he can really get the skills he wants, he'll make a killing!

Yotsuya Miko looked at Dongfang Chen in surprise when she heard his offer: "Ten million yen?"

All the pocket money she's received over the years, from childhood to adulthood, probably wouldn't be nearly enough!

Takeda Saegusa: "Deal!"

She had initially thought she was going to be taken advantage of for free, but since Dongfang Chen was being so generous, she had no reason to refuse.

The main point is that since Dongfang Chen could easily offer such a price, it shows that he is not short of money at all.

Having lived for so many years, I still have a basic sense of observation.

"So, how long does it take to learn how to make it, or are there any prerequisites?"

Dongfang Chen raised a question.

Because, judging from the various prayer beads we just saw, they all possess a special kind of energy, which has the power to dispel evil spirits and ward off evil.

The prayer beads are just the container; the key is the energy!

"Um, shall I go out first?"

Yotsuya Miko raised her hand and said weakly.

It doesn't seem right for Dongfang Chen to spend so much money on tuition while she stands here listening in.

Takeda Saegusa looked at Dongfang Chen and handed over the power to him, after all, he was the one who paid for the tuition.

"It's okay, Yotsuya-kun, listen to it too!"

He didn't mind such a small thing.

"Thank you, Mr. Dongfang!"

Yotsuya Miko expressed her gratitude.

Takeda Saegusa smiled and nodded, then continued:

"The time required to learn depends on talent. People like you and this young girl already possess an enviable foundation, making learning much easier for you. However, it will still take at least six months!"

"As for the prerequisite, it is 'spiritual power'. It is a special kind of energy, just like air, and it exists in every corner of the world. Some beings are born with it, while others can acquire it through cultivation."

"Spiritual power has a wide range of applications, including enhancing physical fitness, improving mental strength, exorcising evil spirits, attacking, and healing diseases."

"To make exorcism tools, three things are needed. The first is spiritual power; the second is materials, such as special woods, jade, and metals; and the third is runes."

"Once all three are present, runes are first engraved on the material to preserve spiritual power. Then, spiritual power is used to nurture it for a long time or spiritual power is directly injected into it. Once the prayer beads have spiritual power, they are considered exorcism tools."

After listening to Takeda Mie's explanation, Dongfang Chen and Yotsuya Miko both understood the origin of those props.

Dongfang Chen analyzed, "Then, the spiritual power within an exorcism item is the standard for measuring its effectiveness. The greater the amount, the better the effect."

Takeda Saegusa nodded: "That's true, but we also need to consider whether the materials can withstand the injection of a large amount of spiritual energy. As for the cultivation and application of spiritual energy, and runes, those are paid features!"

Seeing her rubbing her hands together with a smile, Dongfang Chen immediately understood.

He took out his phone: "Grandma, tell me your name and bank card number, and I'll transfer the money to you directly."

Seeing Dongfang Chen's straightforwardness, Takeda Sae's smile also brightened.

"My name is Takeda Mie, and my bank account number is..."

Without further ado, Dongfang Chen completed the transfer and showed her the transfer record. Takeda Mie nodded.

Then she turned around, opened a cabinet, then opened the safe inside, took out two yellowed old books, and handed them to him.

"One of the books contains my sect's teachings and all my insights from decades of cultivating spiritual power. Just follow the instructions and you'll be fine. The other book contains runes. Just match the inscriptions on them. They are all the results of thousands of years of research by our predecessors."

Dongfang Chen took the book and flipped through it. It was indeed as she had said; the book contained various cultivation insights and some strange runes...

"Let me try to sense if I can sense spiritual energy!"

After carefully reading through the basics of spiritual energy cultivation, Dongfang Chen sat down cross-legged on the spot and closed his eyes.

The two people next to him looked completely bewildered. "Brother, are you in such a hurry?"

Takeda Sae didn't say anything, but simply watched the subtle changes in Dongfang Chen, which could only be seen in his breathing and physical condition.

Three minutes later, she was shocked to find that Dongfang Chen had already entered meditation!
