I was selling peach wood swords on a live stream, how did I become a Taoist ancestor?

Chapter 26: Jin Hao Recognizes His Father (Please continue reading)

Ice City, a chain hotel.

Jin Hao was lying on the bed, sighing.

"It's all over, it's completely over—"

He stared at the ceiling, his eyes vacant.

The senior student hasn't spoken to him for three days.

He doesn't answer the phone or reply to messages.

I ran into her in the hotel lobby yesterday. She had a cold face and didn't even glance at me.

"Am I really useless? —"

His mind was filled with images from that night.

The senior student's eyes held a mixture of lingering enjoyment and disappointment.

Jin Hao became increasingly depressed as he thought about it.

He picked up his phone and opened his chat history with Li Jun.

Seeing the phrase "I guarantee to restore your virility," a glimmer of hope rekindled in Jin Hao's heart.

Although the Taoist priest usually likes to joke around, he never lets you down when it matters.

It should be useful, right?

Just then, my phone rang.

It's the courier's phone number.

"Mr. Jin? Your package has arrived and I've left it at the front desk."

"Oh—thank you."

Jin Hao responded weakly and slowly got up.

It seems the talisman sent by the Taoist priest has arrived.

After putting on his down jacket, Jin Hao went downstairs to retrieve his package.

A small cardboard box, light and flimsy.

Back in the room, I opened it and found a small red cloth bag inside.

Jin Hao squeezed it; inside was a triangular paper packet.

"Is this the magic talisman that can cure all diseases and restore health?"

He muttered to himself, looking suspicious.

But thinking of the agonizing experience he'd had these past few days, he gritted his teeth and stuffed the small red cloth bag into his inner pocket.

Let's try anything, even if it seems hopeless.

The moment he put on the talisman, Jin Hao suddenly felt a slight warmth on the talisman paper, and at the same time, a warmth in his lower abdomen.

It felt like drinking a sip of hot soup, with a warm current flowing down from the navel.

Then, the warmth began to spread.

It flows along the blood vessels to the limbs and bones.

Jin Hao felt like he was soaking in warm water, and he hummed comfortably.

The chill and fatigue I felt these past few days are rapidly fading away.

Instead, it is a kind of ————

Abundant energy?

"this----"

Jin Hao looked down at the red cloth bag on his chest, his eyes wide open.

"The talisman drawn by the Taoist priest—does it really work?"

He couldn't believe it.

But bodily sensations don't lie.

The feeling of weakness and helplessness that I had before is gone.

Instead, there was a kind of restless heat.

Jin Hao swallowed hard.

He rushed into the bathroom, and his hands were shaking as he looked in the mirror.

My complexion looks a bit rosier in the mirror.

The most crucial thing is————

That long-lost feeling is back!

"Does it really... really work?"

Jin Hao was both surprised and delighted, pacing back and forth in the bathroom.

He touched the talisman in his pocket. Although the warm current was gone, the changes in his body were too obvious.

"Taoist brother—you're truly my brother!"

Jin Hao almost burst into tears.

He immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Li Jun.

[Jin Hao]: Brother Taoist! I received the talisman! It's amazing! It's truly amazing!

[Jin Hao]: You are my second parents! No, you are even closer than my second parents!

[Jin Hao]: From today onwards, you are my brother! No, my godfather!

Li Jun was carving talismans when he saw the message and smiled.

[Li Jun]: As long as it works, that's good. Just be careful to use it in moderation.

[Jin Hao]: Don't worry! I know what I'm doing!

[Jin Hao]: By the way, godfather, does this talisman have any other effects?

[Li Jun]: ? What do you mean?

[Jin Hao]: After I put it on, not only did my thing improve, but I also felt more energetic and had a lot of power!

Jin Hao described that feeling.

I feel full of energy, and my mind is much clearer.

After reading it, Li Jun scratched his head.

Is the psychological effect that strong?

[Li Jun]: Maybe it's because you have a better mindset that your body naturally recovers.

[Jin Hao]: Never mind, anyway, thank you, godfather! I'll treat you to a big meal later!

[Li Jun]: ———— Okay, I'll wait for you to come back.

After ending the chat, Li Jun shook his head.

That fatso, it's definitely just psychological.

It's just a piece of paper, how can it be so magical?

He continued to focus on carving symbols.

This thing is fucking hard!

Harbin, outside the hotel.

Two night watchmen in plain clothes were sitting in their car, watching the hotel entrance.

"The target received the package, and there are no issues yet," the young field clerk said.

"Okay, continue to observe." The older field worker stared at the monitor screen.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

-

"Look."

The young field staff gathered around.

On the screen is the window of Jin Hao's room.

Although the curtains were drawn, infrared thermal imaging showed that the human body was a heat source in the room.

The brightness has been significantly enhanced.

It's not the kind of enhancement that comes with rising temperatures.

Rather, it is the activity level of Qi and blood that has increased by at least one level.

"This is—" The young field clerk was stunned.

"The talisman has taken effect," the senior field officer said in a deep voice. "Report it immediately."

The news reached the Ice City branch and then spread to the South City.

Liu Zhenguo was drinking tea when he saw the report.

His hand trembled, and he spilled tea all over himself.

"A 30% increase in blood and qi activity? And it remains stable?"

"Yes, and the target's mental state and physical functions have significantly improved." The technician adjusted his glasses. "Most remarkably, the lingering yin energy that previously caused his inability has been completely eliminated."

"Lingering Yin energy?" Liu Zhenguo frowned.

"Yes, in Harbin, they discovered that the target had come into contact with some old objects during his trip, which may have tainted him with yin energy, causing his yang energy to be damaged." The technician said with some envy, "Master Li's talisman not only replenished the yang energy but also dispelled the yin energy."

Liu Zhenguo fell silent.

I really want to get one of these.

"Have the people in Harbin continue to observe and record all the data."

Night fell.

A small hotel in Harbin.

The curtains were drawn, and the lights were dim.

A young man in a bathrobe lay limp on the bed, his face pale, his eyes closed, and his breathing rapid.

Beside the bed, a woman, wearing a red sweater, slowly straightened up.

She had a pure and innocent look and fair skin; she was the senior student that Jin Hao had been dreaming about.

But at this moment, a satisfied smile played on her lips, and a strange red light flashed in her eyes.

"That's so little!"

The senior student licked her lips, her voice carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Why is the yang energy of young people these days so thin? It's like it's been diluted with water."

She glanced at the man on the bed and reached out to touch his forehead.

A barely perceptible wisp of black smoke entered.

The man's breathing became more even, but his face still looked grim.

After doing all this, the senior student, or rather, the female ghost occupying this body, walked to the mirror and looked at her face in the mirror.

It was originally "foraging" in a small southern town when it was spotted by an old scoundrel from Maoshan.

To hide, she possessed the body of a female college student named Lin Wei and came to the Ice City.

"We need to use it sparingly —"

The female ghost stroked her face.

This body can still be used for a while, but it cannot be overused.

It walked to the bedside, glanced at the unconscious man, and turned to leave the room.

It has been very measured these days.

It never resulted in anyone dying.

A dead body will attract an investigation, and if it alerts the Night's Watch, it will be troublesome.

It can distinguish between being full at one meal and being full at every other meal.

Stepping out of the hotel, a cold wind hit my face.

The female ghost shrank her neck.

This body is still too weak.

It needs more yang energy.

"If only I could meet another one of those exceptional people again—"

The female ghost remembered Lin Wei's boyfriend, Jin Hao.

That kid's yang energy is unbelievably strong, a full ten times that of an ordinary person!

Moreover, its recovery ability is amazing.

It didn't dare to inhale too much at first, fearing it might cause someone's death.

The next morning, Jin Hao was full of energy and full of life.

Later, it started inhaling freely, and after three or four days of continuous inhalation, Jin Hao was completely exhausted.

"Judging by the time, it should be back to normal by now, right?"

The female ghost licked her lips.

She had previously made up an excuse to dump Jin Hao, saying she needed a few days to cool off.

Actually, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and will really suck people to death.

Now that two days have passed, if Jin Hao has a special constitution, his yang energy should be almost full.

"Let's go take a look."

The female ghost took out her phone and dialed Jin Hao's number.
