Although Qin Liuxi didn’t manage to retrieve the two souls and seven spirits that Mrs. Ren lost, the Ren Family still gave a reward. Firstly, Qin Liuxi gave the Ren Family an understanding, preventing Mrs. Ren’s death from remaining a mystery. Otherwise, if she wasn’t dead, and they sealed her in the coffin, it would be considered matricide, which would surely be recorded in the rit and Derit Record.
Secondly, Qin Liuxi also helped dismantle the secret in the valley by Namo Temple and Lingxu Palace, preventing more people from foolishly believing in the Holy Venerable Buddha like Mrs. Ren did. Of course, whether so people will co to their senses is still unknown, but the fact that it didn’t continue to develop is a relief.
Thirdly, the Ren Family naturally wanted to form a great virtuous bond with Qin Liuxi. After all, she is proficient in the Xuann Five Skills, and befriending such a divine-level individual can only bring benefits.
Ren Ting even wanted to introduce so wealthy patients to Qin Liuxi, but Qin Liuxi was preoccupied with other matters and worried about her master’s health. She didn’t linger in Qi State, and if there was indeed a need, visiting Qingping Temple for dical help was always an option.
Ren Ting didn’t dare to force her to stay. A divine figure naturally has their peculiar temperant, and maintaining an air of mystery is perfectly fine.
Qin Liuxi returned to Feichang Dao with Hei Sha and Lan Xing. Along the way, Lan Xing didn’t dare to ask a single question. Given Mrs. Ren’s situation, how could Lan You possibly fare better?
Lan Xing was distraught, his eyes devoid of any light.
Forget it. With Xiao You gone, he was already alone. Whether he lived or not didn’t matter.
"You’ve really kept your composure." Qin Liuxi brought him to the Daoist Room. Seeing Lan Xing silent and not asking any questions, she raised an eyebrow.
Lan Xing opened his mouth, wanting to speak but then hesitating. He forced a bitter smile and said, "You can go ahead and tell . I can handle it."
"Lan You’s situation is not good. You likely won’t be able to be together," Qin Liuxi said.
Lan Xing’s face turned pale in an instant.
Qin Liuxi cast a spell, rubbing his eyelid, then called Lan You out.
Lan Xing felt a cool tingling on his eyelid. When he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar shadow standing in front of him. His pupils shrank, and he shrieked sharply, "Xiao You."
"Brother, why are you so foolish?" Lan You shed tears.
Lan Xing was overwheld with emotion and wanted to hug him but rely passed through his soul. He stared blankly at his hand, realized a possibility, and swayed slightly. His eyes dimd again, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Xiao You, you..."
Lan You only shed tears.
Qin Liuxi then said, "Let’s get to the point. Lan You isn’t suitable to be outside for long." She looked at Lan Xing, "His physical body was occupied by Chi Zhenzi. If it weren’t for his firm resolve, his soul would have been devoured long ago. But because of Chi Zhenzi’s suppression, he suffered greatly. Later, his physical body was burned, further damaging his soul. You see him so weak because he’s at risk of soul scattering at any mont, so he needs to be kept in a Soul Nourishing Bottle to stabilize."
Lan Xing was utterly flustered and looked at Lan You, saying, "Then hurry up and go inside."
"It won’t make a difference for the mont. This Daoist Room is already set with a Spirit Array, and the Spiritual Energy here is stronger than outside. I also inscribed Taoist Scriptures and talismans, so although it’s not as good as a dedicated Soul Nourishing Bottle, it won’t be too poor," Qin Liuxi said. "Now, I just want to explain Lan You’s situation."
"Go ahead, please." Lan Xing was anxious, but his eyes greedily gazed at the child he raised.
Lan You walked to his side, and like before, hooked his little finger around Lan Xing’s finger in a virtual gesture. Although he couldn’t hold onto it, it was just like before.
Lan Xing nearly shed tears.
"Lan You’s soul needs nurturing. Once he’s restored, I’ll try to send him into reincarnation," Qin Liuxi paused and looked at Lan Xing again, "You are an Outer Heaven Person. I don’t know if your body in your world is still there? If it is, maybe you can return, and you won’t need to fear soul scattering."
Lan You said, "I was also alone in later life because of my poor health. I donated a large sum of incense money every year and was cared for in a Daoist Temple. I was sleeping peacefully in the temple when I opened my eyes and found myself in that previous body."
"You lived in a Daoist Temple?" Qin Liuxi asked in surprise.
Lan You nodded, "In our place, it is called East Mountain Temple, and we worship the Grandmaster of Zhengyi. I usually participate in enlightennt with the Taoists."
Qin Liuxi squinted and said, "No wonder you were able to hold out against Chi Zhenzi. There’s such a connection; it’s the Grandmaster’s protection. No wonder he occupied your body and yet improved so much; it must be because you had rit too."
"Ah? What rit do I have?" Lan You was puzzled.
"You donated incense money every year. That’s an act of kindness. Zhengyi Dao also promotes acts of kindness and teaching. It’s likely that future generations will not forget the rules of their ancestors. Since you donated money, you naturally accumulated rit," Qin Liuxi assessed him, "You look quite young and seem to be alone. How much do you donate each year?"
"Over ten million."
Qin Liuxi was startled, "How much?"
Lan You counted on his fingers, "By today’s standards, it’s about fifty to one hundred thousand taels."
Qin Liuxi felt a slight sting in her chest, "Is the Zhengyi Sect that powerful over your place?"
"It’s a large sect, but mainly I’m not short of money," Lan You said with a bashful smile, "I lost my parents at a young age. Although I’m not yet an adult, I could inherit billions of family assets and relied on the family trust fund to live until I ca of age."
Qin Liuxi: "..."
Lan Xing: "?"
So his Xiao You was actually a super-rich kid?
Lan You cautiously looked at Lan Xing, "I only have money, but you have countless talents. Will you look down on ?"
Lan Xing smiled warmly, "It’s who has nothing."
Donating fifty to one hundred thousand taels every year, how co we at Qingping Temple never encountered such a great benefactor?
Qin Liuxi snapped out of her realization that the Qingping Temple might not be as powerful as the Zhengyi Sect. Hearing these sour words, her stomach felt even more acidic. Returning to the main topic, "Since your physical body is at the Temple, if it’s the Zhengyi Dao and they discover your soul has left, they will likely protect your body. So, as I ntioned before, restore your soul first. Later, I will open a path for you and see if you can return to your original body."
Lan Xing blinked her starry eyes, "Can’t I stay in this world? Can’t I find another body?"
"I won’t help you possess another’s body."
"Then if I go to the burial ground and possess a lifeless body, is that considered possession?"
"That’s called Resurrection, different from possession. Possession is forcibly entering soone else’s body and seizing it, whereas Resurrection is rely borrowing a dead body to revive," Qin Liuxi explained, "This action doesn’t contradict the Heavenly Dao like possession would, but it still involves karma. Additionally, the body must be harmonious with your soul, or else it will be rejected, causing you not to survive and resulting in many problems."
"Actually, your original body is the one most harmonious with you. Returning to your original body will make your soul more secure," Qin Liuxi looked at the two, "That’s all I have to say. Think it over. If you stay in the bottle, you can still talk to him."
She was so disturbed by Lan You’s prodigal nature that she needed to step out and compose herself!
