Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Dr. Wan, you’ve encountered a ghost!

Translator: 549690339

“What?”

Xu Yang almost jumped up: “Elder Wang is not human? Impossible, this is impossible!”

His face was filled with incredulity!

Eider Wang is not a human?

This was simply absurd!

If anyone else had said this, Xu Yang would’ve undoubtedly responded with a mouthful of curses.

But with Liu Shishi…

Xu Yang didn’t dare to cuss out loud, so he calmed himself and asked, “Shishi, are you sure you didn’t get it wrong? I’ve known Elder Wang for a long time. 1 remember him quite well. When I was young, he would often come to my home to play chess with my grandfather. He liked to pinch my cheeks, and occasionally he’d buy me a lollipop.”

“Are you questioning my eyesight?”

Liu Shishi raised her elegant eyebrows.

At her side, Yang Yin hurriedly said: “Master Xu, Shishi is right. That old man doesn’t quite seem like a human. He doesn’t have any life or Yang energy…he’s like…like a corpse that has been dead for a long time.”

Both female ghosts were expressing the same sentiments that made Xu Yang somewhat believe them.

But he had some difficulty accepting it.

My Elder Wang…

Why is he not human?

Doesn’t he have children?

If he’s not human, how can he have children?

“If Elder Wang is not human…then what is he? A ghost? A zombie? Or a monster?”

Xu Yang shook his head, removing those thoughts from his mind. He then entered his bedroom, sat on the bed, and opened his system attribute panel.

[Name]: Xu Yang

[Age]: 22 years old

[Daoist Arts]: Divine Ascension Scripture

[Daoist Skills]: Fire Manipulation Skill, Water Manipulation Skill

[Martial Arts]: Land Flight Skill

[Cultivation Level]: Level Six Qi Refining Realm

[Daoist Artifact]: Supreme Purification Seal

[Merit Points]: 1088 points.

[Storage Space]: 10 cubic yards.

“After the small accomplishment of the Land Flight Skill, some changes occurred in my system panel, adding a new[Martial Arts] category.”

The numbers beside [Merit Points] rose from the previous 108 points to 1088 points.

The trip to Silver City Institute of Technology that night earned Xu Yang a total of 980 merit points.

Among them, 900 points were earned from that grey creature, and 80 points were from a female college ghost named Pang Juan.

“What a pity!”

“That grey creature escaped…otherwise, if I could perform a soul transition on it, that would be another set of merit points.”

Xu Yang shook his head, feeling some regret.

On top of that, he also received eight “+1 in piano skills”.

Pang Juan had just passed her level 10 piano exam before she died, which was quite impressive. Gaining the “Piano +1” ability from her eight times, Xu Yang, who wasn’t familiar with the piano at all, suddenly became a master who could play songs.

Xu Yang was confident.

Even though he had never touched a piano, he believed he could play the melody “For Elise” without any difficulty.

Of course.

The “piano skills” was of no use to Xu Yang.

What he valued more was “spiritual power”.

The 30 “Spiritual Power +1” he had received from the creature helped Xu Yang realize his mind had become much clearer, and he could even vividly perceive the existence of the spiritual aura of heaven and earth.

He was very excited about this!

“My previous abilities were too mild for cultivation, so I had to rely on the system to add points!”

“This way of adding points might be simple and effective, but it lacks the pleasure of actual cultivation!”

Xu Yang immediately sat cross-legged, the palms of his hands facing upwards, and started cultivating with the Divine Ascension Scripture.

As expected.

Within a few minutes, he sensed the existence of the spiritual aura of heaven and earth.

As his Daoist Arts circulated.

The spiritual aura of heaven and earth began to slowly flow into his acupoints and into his meridians.

One full circulation…

Two full circulations…

Before he knew it, dawn had broken.

Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes and felt a slight increase in his own magical power. He muttered in dismay: “What’s the point of cultivation? I’ve been sitting until my legs have fallen asleep. I’ve cultivated for over three hours, but the increase in my cultivation level is still less than the magical power I gained from a single merit point?”.

He cursed with exasperation.

He got up, washed, and went downstairs.

After opening the door, he went to the neighboring breakfast shop and bought three cups of soy milk and three baskets of radish beef dumplings.

Once he returned to his shop and before he had finished breakfast, a BMW parked outside the funeral shop.

The car door opened, and a maturely dressed woman got out of the car.

She had short hair and looked somewhat like a female celebrity. She raised her head, looked at the sign of the funeral shop, and then walked straight in.

Xu Yang got up, greeted her, and asked, “Dr. Wan, what brings you here?”

His gaze scanned across Wan Qian a few times.

Off to the side.

Liu Shishi and Yang Yin looked over analyzing Wan Qian with their sight.

Ever since Xu Yang made new clothes for them, they rarely remained “invisible”. Instead, they began to openly show themselves. Yang Yin even started to familiarize herself with the prices of various items in the store over the past few days.

Xu Yang planned to let her start managing the store once she got the hang of it, thus turning himself into a hands-off shopkeeper.

Wan Qian also noticed Liu Shishi and Yang Yin, and her eyes flashed with an almost imperceptible look of surprise.

These two girls…

Have such temperament!

Of course.

Being a great beauty herself, Wan Qian didn’t feel any jealousy.

“I came to buy some things. I remembered that Mr. Ma told me you were doing business on Yumin Street, so I came over to take a look,” She said.

She gave Xu Yang a once-over, seeing that he looked energetic and in good spirits, better than before. In her mind, she assumed that her treatment had resulted in this improvement, and asked, “Mr. Xu, you are looking very well… have you had hallucinations recently?”

Xu Yang knew exactly what Wan Qian meant by “hallucinations”.

The previous visit to Wan Qian’s clinic was merely to save face of Ma Long. He was aware of his circumstances, therefore he quickly lied, “Dr. Wan, your excellent treatment has worked. My illness seems to have healed.”

Wan Qian advised, “Remember not to be complacent. You must continue to take your medicine. The most important thing is to keep your mindset, relax, and go out for a walk and let off some steam when you feel like it.”

She bought a few bundles of joss paper and some simple sacrificial supplies in the shop. After paying for them, she prepared to leave. However, Xu Yang stopped her.

“Mr. Xu, is there something else?” Wan Qian asked puzzledly.

Xu Yang was unsure about bringing up a certain topic.

After all…

Wan Qian doesn’t believe in ghosts!

But now, there was a slight Yin energy lingering on her, clearly indicating she had come into contact with an entity not of the living world.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Xu Yang asked seriously:” Dr. Wan, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?”

Wan Qian:”… ”

She was taken aback, saying, “Mr. Xu, it seems that your condition has not improved… 1 understand your condition. The ghosts that you’re seeing are not really ghosts, but hallucinations caused by mental exhaustion…”

“In this case…I have some things to do this morning. Why don’t you come over to the clinic in the afternoon, and 1’11 provide you some psychological guidance? How does that sound?”

Xu Yang gave a bitter smile.

Then he said, “Dr. Wan, what I mean is … you’ve encountered a ghost!”

Wan Qian:”… “
