Zhao Lanping was filled with resentment, but there was nothing she could do; she couldn't afford to provoke Du Chufeng. Realizing that the path of hidden rules was blocked, Zhao Lanping chose to take another route.
She had once heard in entertainment gossip that celebrities raised spirits to ensure a brilliant career and smooth sailing. So, she traveled to Southeast Asia, found a master, and acquired a spirit.
Raising spirits was quite popular in Southeast Asia; it could attract wealth and blessings, and even harm rivals, causing their fortunes to plummet. Since it was a trend, it surely had some effect.
Zhao Lanping initially thought that raising a spirit would bring her good luck. However, unexpectedly, within just a few months, misfortune befell her. Anyone who could read fortunes could see that Zhao Lanping's brow was darkening—a sign of great calamity. Moreover, the resentment of the spirit had already eroded her inner being. If this continued, Zhao Lanping would grow weaker and weaker until eventually, her vitality would be completely drained, her soul would waver, and her body would be taken over by the spirit.
Jiang Chen sat at the stone table outside, listening without any change in expression. One could only say that Zhao Lanping was reaping what she had sown.
Inside the room, the Smart Monk let out a long Buddhist chant and instructed Zhao Lanping to bring forth the spirit so he could perform a rite to release it. After a while, the sound of chanting echoed from within. Jiang Chen could see a faint golden light of Buddha appearing intermittently; this Smart Monk truly possessed considerable skills.
Under the pressure of the Buddha's power, the spirit's dark energy surged forth, emitting chilling cries that left Zhao Lanping and her family pale with fear.
"Not good!" Suddenly, the Smart Monk exclaimed in alarm as a wisp of resentment from the spirit managed to escape under the force of his Buddhist power and entered Zhao Lanping's body.
This spirit had been nourished by Zhao Lanping's own blood. Initially, one drop could sustain it for a day, but over time it required more blood. If she failed to satisfy its appetite, she would suffer backlash. Although the spirit wouldn't have entered Zhao Lanping's body so soon under normal circumstances, today it was compelled to do so due to the pressure from the Buddhist power, seeking refuge in a human to resist the old monk.
After all, the spirit was merely a remnant soul filled with resentment and lacked substantial offensive power; it could only torment one's will through illusions. However, it was clear that using illusions against a High Monk like him would not work—it needed human strength.
Once the spirit entered a human body, things became troublesome. Zhao Lanping had long been using her Blood Qi to nourish the spirit; in a sense, they had already formed a connection. If the spirit had entered one of Zhao Lanping's parents' bodies instead, the Smart Monk could have easily expelled it using his Buddhist power. But entering Zhao Lanping’s "mother body" made things considerably more complicated.
The fact that even a High Monk like him reacted so startled indicated how complex the situation was.
"Smart Master, please save my daughter!" Seeing their daughter in pain, Zhao Lanping's parents knelt down in desperation.
The Smart Master’s expression grew serious as he spoke gravely: "I was careless just now; I didn't expect this little Evil Spirit could escape my Buddhist suppression. Although it's troublesome now, it's not without solutions. Jie Kong, gather the Generation of Hui monks at Qiguang Hall; we will use supreme chanting power to expel this evil charm from Benefactor Zhao."
After finishing his words, Jie Kong took his leave but suddenly froze at the door.
"Benefactor, what are you doing here?" Jie Kong recognized Jiang Chen as he entered earlier with him and saw him sitting calmly in the Smart Master's courtyard reading Buddhist scriptures with an air of tranquility.
