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

Seeing that Gallia was about to die, Sheriff Ford hurriedly said, "Master Cao, please save him."

"You audacious evil spirit, how dare you harm people in front of me! Get out of his body at once!"

Cao Kun shouted and walked over, swinging his peach wood sword into the air.

Suddenly, Gallia's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Sheriff Ford immediately wanted to check on Gallia, but the thought of ghosts lurking around made him hesitant.

He could only say, "Call an ambulance quickly."

Cao Kun looked straight ahead.

In his line of sight, a phantom figure with a bloodied head stood before him.

The figure didn't look very old, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and was of Chinese descent.

He was the man who was beaten to death in the detention room a few days ago.

After he died, he became a ghost and killed the enemy who had killed him.

Unexpectedly, that guy also turned into a ghost.

Two people, no, two ghosts, began attacking each other inside the police station, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner.

They attacked each other, causing serious trouble for the police station, with all sorts of strange things happening from time to time.

That's how all those things happened.

Just now, Cao Kun performed a ritual and forcibly summoned the two of them.

I originally wanted to talk to them, but that bastard didn't take Cao Kun seriously.

Cao Kun had no choice but to beat him until his soul was scattered.

The remaining Chinese ghost immediately became obedient.

He even cooperated with Cao Kun and almost killed Gallia.

Cao Kun glanced at Gallia, whose head and face were covered in blood, and who was barely clinging to life. It was unclear whether he could be saved.

However, even if he could be saved, he would most likely never be able to become a man again.

Turning his gaze away, Cao Kun relit three sticks of incense and took out several stacks of paper money.

"Once you've eaten my food and taken my money, leave obediently and don't linger here."

The young Chinese man nodded repeatedly, his eyes fixed on the three incense sticks and paper money.

After the incense was lit, the young Chinese man stood over and greedily inhaled the smoke.

The burning speed of the incense suddenly increased.

Cao Kun burned the paper money and set it aside.

The burning speed is also faster than normal.

Before long, the incense burned out and the fire went out.

The blood on the young Chinese man's face had disappeared, revealing a bluish-gray complexion.

He knelt before Cao Kun, kowtowed to Cao Kun, and then his body vanished into the illusion.

"Ding! You have successfully liberated a G-level ghost and gained 200 merit points."

"Ding! You have successfully exorcised a G-level ghost and obtained the 'Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra'."

The system notification sounded promptly.

Adding the 200 points from that ghost earlier, Cao Kun has now gained 400 merit points, plus a "Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra".

As the young Chinese Americans disappeared, the gloom of this place began to dissipate.

Laura and Sheriff Ford could clearly feel the temperature starting to rise.

The feeling that made them uneasy also disappeared.

Laura asked Cao Kun expectantly, "Master Cao, is the problem solved?"

Cao Kun nodded: "It's resolved. No more strange things will happen at the police station in the future."

"That's great!" Laura exclaimed, both surprised and delighted.

Previously, after being told what Scott and Gallia said, she didn't have much confidence in Cao Kun.

I thought I was about to make a huge fool of myself.

As a result, Cao Kun not only didn't embarrass her, but actually made her look good.

"As expected of Master Cao's son, he's truly amazing," Laura praised with a smile.

Sheriff Ford also came over and shook hands with Cao Kun: "Master Cao, thank you so much for this. Please give me your contact information so I can contact you if I need anything in the future."

Cao Kun looked at Laura: "Officer Laura has my contact information."

Sheriff Ford: "That's good."

Just as Cao Kun was packing all his belongings into his bag, the ambulance arrived.

Gallia was carried out on a stretcher by two people in white coats.

When Laura dropped Cao Kun off at the police station, she saw Gallia being put into an ambulance.

Laura asked Cao Kun, "Will he die?"

Cao Kun: "I don't know."

Laura stared into Cao Kun's eyes: "Why did that devil suddenly harm Gallia?"

Cao Kun: "We'll have to ask that ghost, but he's already gone, so there's probably no chance now."

"I see." Laura looked away, seemingly believing it.

She took a check from her breast pocket: "This is your payment."

Cao Kun took it and saw it was $500.

Cao Kun asked, "How much was Master Scott's payment?"

Laura was a little embarrassed: "He's 3000, but..."

Laura was a little speechless.

But Cao Kun understood what she meant.

However, since he is of Chinese descent, his price is naturally lower.

This is considered an unspoken rule in Los Angeles, no, in the entire United States.

No matter what job they do, even if they are doing the same work, Chinese Americans receive the lowest salaries.

Who puts people of Chinese descent at the very bottom of the racial hierarchy?

Cao Kun put away the check without showing any expression, said goodbye to Laura, and left.

Inside the Wenxin Hall.

Cao Kun entered the system and saw that the upgrade button next to cultivation level lit up again.

In addition, a new spell, "Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Spell," has been added to the spell list.

Merit points increased from 0 to 400.

"upgrade!"

Cao Kun used his mind to tap the character's cultivation level.

Instantly, an even greater power emerged within his body.

Cao Kun felt a pain even more intense than before.

Sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

After about ten minutes, the pain disappeared and a feeling of comfort arose.

Cao Kun felt an even stronger power within his body.

Cao Kun knew that it represented his magical power.

The greater one's magical power, the stronger the spells one can cast.

Cultivation level: Second-rank Human Teacher

Merit points: 200

The cultivation upgrade button has turned gray again, indicating that the remaining merit points cannot be used to upgrade.

Cao Kun looked at the "Taiqing Sword Technique," where the upgrade button was also grayed out, indicating that it could not be upgraded.

"When you upgrade from level one to level two of the Taiqing Sword Technique, it takes 100 points. Now, even with 200 points, you still can't upgrade?"

Cao Kun was surprised, but there was nothing he could do.

Previously in the 17th division, Cao Kun used the "Taiqing Sword Technique" whether he was summoning the two ghosts or killing one of them.

This sword technique is quite practical, and the fact that it can't be upgraded right now makes Cao Kun feel a bit of a pity.

As for the incantation to summon ghosts, it comes from the "Daoist Manual".

It not only explains various aspects of Taoist practices, but also records some basic incantations.

Host: Cao Kun

Constitution: Innate Thunder Spirit Body

Cultivation level: Second-rank Human Teacher

Cultivation Technique: Taiqing Shenxiao Jue

Skills (Spells):

Taiqing Sword Technique: Second Level

Purification Mantra

Merit points: 200

Cao Kun attempted to cultivate the "Taiqing Shenxiao Technique".

A moment later, he opened his eyes, looking puzzled.

"How can the spiritual energy be so thin? At this rate of cultivation, how long will it take to advance even one level?"

Why is this happening?

"Could it be the Dharma-ending Age that's been mentioned online?"

Cao Kun shook his head, not entirely sure.

"With such scarce spiritual energy, it's almost impossible to advance in cultivation on one's own."

"It can only eliminate evil spirits and earn merit points."

"Not only can I earn merit points to improve my cultivation, but I can also make money to solve my rent problem and improve my current life."

"But where can I take on such exorcism requests?"

at night.

Cao Kun used his mobile phone to go online and search for information.

"As expected, there is no such movie as 'Saw' in this world."

"The movie became reality; it was the real Jigsaw."

"Wait, not only is Saw not included, but all the other horror movies I'm familiar with are gone too."

"Where did they go? Could it be...?"

A bold idea arose in Cao Kun's mind.

"Ring ring..."

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Cao Kun's train of thought.

He answered the phone and heard an anxious female voice: "Is this Master Cao? Please come and save me quickly."
