Chapter 222: Chapter 120: I Excel at Nourishing the Vast and Profound Energy

Chen Shi’s mind was filled with wild thoughts. Could it be that he wasn’t a penniless fellow, and his grandfather was actually very wealthy, rich enough to rival a country, having left him a fortune beyond count?

Or perhaps, not long ago, he had shared a dog’s den with Black Pot, and the next moment there would be a hundred thousand warriors of the Divinity Transformation Realm kneeling outside the dog’s den, ready to escort him to the Western Capital to ascend the throne?

Could it be that his grandfather had arranged a marriage for him, and there were actually dozens of princesses as beautiful as flowers and jewels, waiting for him to grow up and marry them?

Oh no!

He had no experience dealing with such situations. What would he do if it happened?

Dingding noticed that Scholar Lord was lost in thought and quickly waved her hand in front of him.

Chen Shi snapped out of his daydream about the dozens of beautiful princesses and mused, "Madame Huali asked if I remembered her, could it be that during the last Independent Assembly, I was still alive?"

He quickly spat twice, "Children’s words carry no harm, befitting great fortune! Of course, I’m still alive! Dingding sister, what else do you know about me and my grandfather?"

Dingding thought for a moment and said, "Madame didn’t say much about you, only mentioning you because she was injured and needed to recuperate at Mirror Lake Villa. But she did talk quite a bit about Master’s grandfather."

She whispered, "I think Madame might have had feelings for Master’s grandfather. When she mentioned him, there was great admiration in her words. There might be a story between them!"

She spoke with gravity and seriousness.

Chen Shi couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Dingding sister, you’re overthinking it! My grandfather is so old, how could he possibly have a story with Madame Huali? Don’t talk nonsense! If my grandfather had a story, it would be with Granny Sha!"

Dingding thought again and said, "That might be possible. Madame also said your grandfather was a flirtatious man, unclear in his relations with many women."

Chen Shi became a little angry, his face flushing red as he stammered, "You, if you slander my grandfather again, I will never pay attention to you again!"

Dingding quickly begged for mercy, laughing, "It was what Madame said, not me. I’m just repeating her words; don’t be angry. Shall I give you a kiss to make it up? Don’t be mad, okay?"

Chen Shi’s anger instantly dissipated, and he said, "Okay. I’m not angry anymore. Where will you kiss?"

"On the cheek."

Chen Shi kissed her on the cheek, and the two made up again.

Though Chen Shi had kissed her cheek, his own face was burning up. He quickly said, "I’m going to check on Mother Jujube Tree."

Dingding, seeing that he had kissed her cheek and made no further moves, thought to herself, "Master seems a bit different from the men my sisters talk about. I hear those men, after kissing a cheek, would insist on kissing the lips and once they do, they start touching all over, leaving the person flustered and limp, easily manipulated. Master didn’t do that, is it because he is young and too innocent?"

Chen Shi’s mind was not filled with such complicated thoughts, and he simply made his way to the jujube tree.

This jujube tree was extremely old, with gnarled roots and a thick trunk. Although it had been crushed by the Five Mountains True Form, it still hadn’t died, and its roots retained their vitality.

A big-headed baby lay under the tree, battered and bruised, staring blankly at the sky with gaping eyes.

It wore a red bellyband embroidered with a golden-tailed carp leaping out of the water.

The big-headed baby was plump and wealthy-looking, aside from the red bellyband, it wore nothing else.

Seeing Chen Shi arrive, it grimaced fiercely at him, baring its teeth and grimacing as it struggled furiously to get up, yet it was unable to move.

Although its mana was formidable, and it had become an Evil Spirit, the Five Mountains House Charm that Chen Shi had transformed into the Five Mountains True Form lay atop it, preventing it from moving.

If it had been before, the power of the talisman would not have been enough to subdue it. However, whether it was due to Chen Shi’s improved cultivation or some other reason, the talisman Chen Shi drew had gained astonishingly greater power, and a few Five Mountains House Charms had managed to suppress it completely.

Now, although the Five Mountains True Form had dispersed, its True Body, the jujube tree, had been destroyed, causing it great loss of Primordial Qi. Despite seeing Chen Shi, it was powerless to seek revenge.

Behind Chen Shi, a small temple appeared. With a flash of light, the big-headed baby felt the world spinning, and the next moment it found itself in a temple, sitting within a shrine.

A powerful flood of Righteous Qi rushed in, quickly filling its surroundings, significantly reducing the Evil Spirit’s energy inside it. ƒrēeNovelFire.com

The big-headed baby became lucid for a moment, but then the evil energy surged again, and it became confused, struggling violently to escape the confines of the shrine.

Chen Shi activated the Three Light Righteous Qi Technique, emitting a small gasp, feeling his own Righteous Qi growing continuously. Using this baby as a Divine Embryo for cultivation seemed to be even faster than with the Three Ghost Kings!

He soon realized that although the chubby baby was full of evil energy, the jujube tree represented a type of tree filled with Righteous Qi. Thunderstruck Wood, struck by lightning and born from a jujube tree, was the best material for Evil Exorcism. The lightning and Righteous Qi contained within were potent in expelling evil.

Although the big-headed baby had turned into an Evil Spirit, its body was also filled with Righteous Qi, making it particularly effective as a Divine Embryo for cultivation!

The Three Ghost Kings, released by Chen Shi, immediately harnessed a gust of yin wind and howled away, vanishing without a trace.

But after a short while, it returned to the other Four Ghost Kings. Surprised to see it, they asked where it had been. The Three Ghost Kings recounted being captured and imprisoned by Chen Shi, tearfully saying, "It was like being in jail, and although I received bundles of incense daily, I was still not free."

The Four Ghost Kings reveled in schadenfreude.

However, not long after, the Three Ghost Kings displayed strength surpassing that of the Ghost King, beating him black and blue, forcing him to relinquish the position of Boss.
