Returning from cultivating immortality, the top scorer in the college entrance examination goes bers

The temporary corrugated steel shed at the construction site was dimly lit.

The old light bulb overhead kept flickering, as if it had a bad connection.

Lu Jingchen stood steadily in front of the wooden plank bed that had been pieced together.

The index finger of his right hand shone with a dazzling pure white light, illuminating the dimly lit shed.

The workers crowded at the door had eyes as wide as saucers.

His face was taut, his whole body was stiff, and his eyes were filled with barely suppressed horror.

They were so afraid of seeing a real deity that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"Holy crap... It's really bright? His fingers are actually glowing?"

The worker at the very front of the line was trembling so badly his voice was shaking like a leaf.

"What on earth is this? Even special effects can't be this outrageous!"

His coworker quickly pulled him aside and swallowed hard.

"Stop yelling! Don't disturb them while they're doing their business!"

"If we startle that filthy thing, we'll all be in deep trouble!"

Lu Jingchen's face showed no trace of a smile; his expression was very solemn.

The fingertip landed steadily, precisely touching the young man's forehead as he lay flat.

He uttered a deep incantation: "May all evil spirits vanish!"

A sharp, piercing sizzle suddenly exploded inside the shed.

A thick, murky black fog billowed out as if a floodgate had been opened.

It was gushing out wildly from between the young man's eyebrows.

Immediately following, a sharp, piercing screech pierced the ears.

The temperature in the entire shed dropped several degrees instantly, and everyone shivered.

The dark, murky mist churned wildly and solidified in the blink of an eye.

A tiny paper effigy, no bigger than the palm of your hand, burst forth, enveloped in black mist.

The little man's features were twisted like a demon's, and sharp, protruding teeth were showing at the corners of his mouth.

It's terrifying to the bone, just like the fierce demons in New Year paintings.

As soon as it solidified, the paper figure bared its fangs and claws and lunged at Lu Jingchen's face.

They looked like they wanted to tear a piece of his flesh off.

Lu Jingchen scoffed, his eyes full of disdain.

"With such paltry skills, you dare to act arrogantly in front of me?"

"That's like turning on the light in the toilet—you're asking for it!"

Instead of retreating, he took half a step forward.

With a flick of the fingertip, a wisp of light shot out instantly.

A crisp snap.

The light struck the paper figure with pinpoint accuracy.

The paper figure let out a piercing scream, like a kite with a broken string.

It flew backwards and crashed heavily onto the muddy ground.

Whoosh.

The pale blue spiritual flames instantly ignited on the paper figure.

Not a single wisp of smoke was emitted, yet it burned extremely brightly.

The paper figure rolled wildly on the ground, struggling desperately.

It was still emitting heart-wrenching screams that sent chills down one's spine.

I got goosebumps.

It only takes a few seconds.

The spirit fire was completely extinguished, leaving only a small clump of dark gray powder on the ground.

Not even a scrap of paper was left.

The entire corrugated steel shed fell into a deathly silence.

You could hear a pin drop clearly.

All the workers were dumbfounded, their eyes wide open.

Staring intently at the clump of ash on the ground, his worldview shattered completely.

The CPU was almost burnt out; it took me a while to come to my senses.

"Oh my god... Am I dreaming?"

"That thing just now, was it really a paper effigy? And it could move and make noise?"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it no matter what anyone said!"

The workers lowered their voices and whispered amongst themselves.

Mr. Zhang, standing at the back of the crowd, had a flushed face.

He frantically wiped the cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath.

My legs were trembling so badly I almost collapsed to the ground.

He had lived most of his life and never believed in these demons and monsters.

Today was truly eye-opening; I learned a harsh lesson.

He muttered to himself, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"I never imagined... that such filthy things really existed in this world..."

"I was so stubborn and didn't believe it before, I must have been blind..."

Lu Jingchen casually withdrew the spiritual light from his fingertips, and his aura instantly became completely clear.

He turned around and looked at Chen Deshun, who was still in a daze.

His tone was very calm, completely different from the ruthless way he had just exterminated the evil spirits.

"Uncle He, your nephew will wake up in three to five minutes."

"However, this place is extremely eerie; it's not a place for humans to stay."

"Once he wakes up, you should take him home and nurse him back to health."

Chen Deshun suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Turning to look at the young man on the wooden bed, I saw that his breathing had become steady and long.

His previously deathly pale face gradually regained its color.

He was so excited that he almost knelt down before Lu Jingchen, his voice choked with emotion.

"Jingchen, thank you so much for today!"

"If it weren't for you, my nephew would probably be dead here today!"

"You are our family's savior!"

Lu Jingchen waved his hand and spoke with a smile.

"Uncle He, don't be so polite. We're all neighbors."

"This is such a small matter, not worth mentioning."

As soon as he finished speaking, the workers crowded at the door finally realized what was happening.

The crowd erupted in a frenzy, with exclamations of amazement rising and falling.

"My goodness! That's amazing! That paper figure actually made a sound!"

"I got goosebumps just now! This young man is really talented!"

"Indeed! He vanquished that evil spirit in the blink of an eye; he's a true master!"

"Amazing! They're just like the immortals in TV dramas!"

Just then, the young man lying on the wooden bed...

Her complexion visibly became rosy, and her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Even her previously rapid breathing became incredibly steady.

Her fingers twitched slightly; she was about to wake up.

Suddenly, a worker in the crowd took a step forward.

With a look of anticipation on his face, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lu Jingchen.

"Old He, do you think you could ask your nephew to take a look at ours too?"

"We've been feeling weak all over these past few days, like our souls have been ripped out. We must have gotten that filthy stuff on us too!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the surrounding workers lit up instantly.

They nodded frantically, like chicks pecking at rice.

They all looked at Chen Deshun, their eyes full of pleading.

"Yes, yes! Experts, please take a look at our work too!"

"We've been suffering from insomnia every night lately, and we feel unwell all over, but the hospital can't find anything wrong with us!"

"Please, someone wise, help us!"

Chen Deshun was momentarily at a loss and scratched his head.

She turned to look at Lu Jingchen, afraid of causing him any trouble.

"Jingchen, look at this..."

Lu Jingchen looked at the group of simple, honest workers, smiled, and spoke in a very relaxed tone.

"It's no big deal, just a small favor."

"Everyone, please don't push, just stand still."

As soon as he finished speaking, he made a simple hand gesture in front of him.

He waved his hand lightly towards the crowd.

A soft buzzing sound.

A soft golden light instantly spread out.

Like a gentle spring drizzle, it fell on every worker.

All the workers who were touched by the light felt a sudden jolt.

He then took a deep breath, a look of extreme comfort on his face.

It felt like I had taken a hot bath; my whole body felt refreshed.

"Wow! Amazing! My back, which had been aching for half a month, is actually not sore anymore!"

"Me too! I feel so much better! All that weakness I felt before is gone!"

"This is practically a blessed buff! Amazing! A true master! Absolutely a master!"

"Mr. Lu! Thank you so much! Thank you so much!"

The workers shouted in unison, their faces filled with admiration and gratitude.

Lu Jingchen smiled and didn't say anything more.

He turned to look at Chen Deshun and earnestly gave him instructions.

"Uncle He, remember what I just told you."

"Once the child wakes up, don't stay here any longer, leave quickly."

After saying that, he walked towards the door, ready to see what was hidden under the construction site.

Chen Deshun watched his retreating figure, his face filled with guilt.

I quickly took two steps to catch up, my tone full of embarrassment.

"Jingchen, just now... Uncle was wrong just now."

"It's really unacceptable that Uncle initially suspected you."

Lu Jingchen was about to reply.

Suddenly, Mr. Zhang rushed over and blocked Lu Jingchen's path.

His face was full of urgency, as if he had grasped at a lifeline.

"Young man! Wait a minute! Don't go yet!"
