While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

Cao Kun believes he doesn't have many enemies now.

Jigsaw is one, but it's already dead.

There is a ghost of Pastor Jeremiah in Cathy's house, but he is trapped inside and can't get out.

His neighbors might be a little envious of his improved life, but they don't have the same ability to do so.

The only thing still alive and capable of doing this is the one that possessed Catherine's body.

After all, it's perfectly normal for someone capable of possession to also possess some curse techniques.

Cao Kun's face was gloomy, and his eyes revealed murderous intent.

This matter certainly cannot be left unresolved.

Even if he wanted to let it go, Catherine wouldn't give up once she found out he wasn't dead.

But how can we vent our anger and resolve this matter?

Call the police?

This will definitely not work.

Curses can harm people, but they don't leave any substantial evidence.

Even if evidence is found, it cannot be used in court.

Tell Douglas?

It was useless.

Let alone the fact that Douglas is just an ordinary person, between Cao Kun and his daughter, who would he believe?

The only solution was for Cao Kun to take action himself.

But unlike Lawrence, Catherine didn't live next door to him.

Since this person can possess another body, she must have some skill, and dealing with her won't be so easy.

After much deliberation, Cao Kun finally came up with a solution.

However, he still has a lot to do before that.

After confirming that there was nothing else in the house, Cao Kun sat on the sofa and entered the system.

After dealing with that freak last night, Cao Kun gained 5000 merit points in addition to the "Qi Observation Technique".

Now, it's perfect for use.

With the remaining 400 merit points, Cao Kun now has 5400 merit points.

All of his upgrade buttons lit up.

"Cultivation level up!"

First and foremost, cultivation level is naturally the best option, as it directly enhances combat power.

A powerful force has reappeared.

That most direct pain also reappeared once again.

Cao Kun gritted his teeth, endured it silently.

After about 10 minutes, the pain gradually subsided.

Cultivation level: Rank 6 Human Teacher

Merit points: 2200

Cao Kun felt heartbroken when his merit points suddenly decreased by 3200.

His merit points are really hard to earn.

The merit points are insufficient, and the upgrade button next to cultivation level has turned gray again, making it impossible to upgrade further.

However, several spells—Taiqing Sword Technique, Talisman Technique, and Qi Observation Technique—can be further upgraded.

After thinking it over, Cao Kun upgraded his Qi Observation skill first, since it only cost 100 points anyway.

Sure enough, a moment later...

Qi Observation Technique: Double Level

Merit Cultivator: 2100 points

The upgrade buttons for the three spells are still lit up.

But Cao Kun knew that if he were to be promoted again now, he would need a full 1000 merit points.

After thinking about it, the most helpful thing to him right now is undoubtedly the art of talismans.

Without further hesitation, he clicked the button.

"Talisman Technique, Upgrade!"

Talisman Technique: Triple

Merit points: 1100

"Upgrading from the second to the third level indeed costs 1000 merit points."

However, the triple talisman technique also gave Cao Kun even more magical and mysterious talismans in his mind.

At the same time, although he hasn't started drawing yet, he feels that the success rate should have increased.

However, the upgrade button next to the talisman technique has turned gray.

"Could it be that advancing from the third to the fourth level requires 1 merit points?"

Cao Kun shook his head, deciding to put the matter aside for now.

There are 1100 merit points left, enough to upgrade one more spell.

After a moment's thought, Cao Kun also upgraded the "Taiqing Sword Technique" to the third level.

The Taiqing Sword Technique is not only used in rituals to communicate with mystical forces, but it can also be used to fight enemies.

Host: Cao Kun

Constitution: Innate Thunder Spirit Body

Cultivation level: Rank 6 Human Teacher

Cultivation Technique: Taiqing Shenxiao Jue

Skills (Spells):

Shangqing Sword Technique: Triple

Talisman Technique: Triple

Qi Observation Technique: Double Level

Purification Mantra

Merit points: 100

Looking at his current stats, Cao Kun nodded.

His strength has increased considerably.

However, Cao Kun felt that it was still not enough to deal with the thing that had possessed Catherine.

Cao Kun took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it.

The call was quickly connected, and a female voice came through: "Master Cao."

Cao Kun: "Casey, how are you guys doing now?"

Casey sounded somewhat surprised, as if she hadn't expected that Master Cao would think of her.

Casey said, "We're alright. We rented a house outside and settled down."

My husband has also recovered and is friendly and approachable again.

"That's good." Cao Kun asked, "So, what do you plan to do with the house you bought?"

Casey: "That house is haunted, it definitely won't sell anytime soon."

We don't want to sell either, because that would hurt other people.

Maybe when we have money in the future, we can hire a skilled exorcist to get rid of the evil spirits inside, and then we can move back in.

Casey laughed as she spoke.

That was probably just one of her ideas.

After all, she's already been traumatized, so even if she really cleans it up, she might not dare to move it back.

Cao Kun said, "Casey, I have a suggestion: sell this house to me."

"Sell it to you?" Casey was taken aback. "Master Cao, you're not joking, are you?"

Cao Kun: "I'm very serious. I can give you $10, and I'll cover the transfer fees."

There was a moment of silence on the phone, then suddenly, Casey exclaimed excitedly, "George, George..."

A moment later, George's voice came through: "Really, Master Cao, is this true?"

After receiving confirmation, Casey's voice choked with emotion: "Thank you, thank you Master Cao, this money can completely solve our predicament."

The Casey family wasn't exactly wealthy.

After buying the house, there wasn't much left. After paying Cao Kun 5 yuan, there was almost nothing left.

Now that Cao Kun has bought the house, they not only got their money back, but they can also earn another 2 yuan.

In total, the loss was only $3.

Of course, they also received a fright and torment.

An hour later, Cao Kun signed a letter of intent with Casey at their rented home.

Cao Kun prepaid $2 as a deposit.

The remaining procedures will need to be handled by a professional company before they are given to them.

But Cao Kun had obtained the key to that house in advance.

Taking the key, Cao Kun said, "You know I'm an exorcist, so you should know what I'm going to do next, right?"

Casey: "Of course, you'll definitely go and exorcise the evil spirits inside."

Cao Kun asked with a smile, "Won't you regret it then?"

Kathy shook her head: "We're already very satisfied that we were able to sell the house. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even have gotten that $8 back."

Cao Kun didn't say anything more, and waved to them: "Goodbye Casey, goodbye George, goodbye Chelsea."

"Goodbye, Master Cao." Chelsea, holding a doll, waved goodbye to Cao Kun in a childish voice.

After saying goodbye to the Casey family, Cao Kun drove directly to the mansion that would soon be his.

From afar, Cao Kun could see the eerie aura enveloping the house.

Originally, he could only get a general idea.

But now, under the "Art of Qi Observation," the Yin energy is even clearer and more obvious.

The guardrail they broke through when they escaped remains intact, saving Cao Kun the trouble of entering through the main gate.

Suddenly, as if sensing Cao Kun's return, the eerie atmosphere surrounding the house began to stir slightly, seemingly reflecting the first homeowner's excitement.

He pushed open the car door and got out. Looking at the surging yin energy, Cao Kun's lips curled slightly as he stepped inside.
