Cultivation by Trial and Error
Chapter 60 - 60 60 Follow-up

60: Chapter 60: Follow-up 60: Chapter 60: Follow-up In the corner of the main room near the entrance, Zhang Xiu and Sun Jinzhong were pacing nervously, like ants on a hot pan.

When the light bulb exploded, Zhang Xiu didn’t think too much of it.

However, after Sun Jinzhong reminded her, she immediately thought of some unpleasant possibilities.

And when they tried to speak to Chen Hai, he didn’t utter a word, completely ignoring both of them.

Neither Sun Jinzhong nor Zhang Xiu could see or hear the battle Chen Hai was having with the resentful spirit.

They couldn’t tell if it was psychological or something else, but they suddenly felt that the temperature inside the main room seemed to have dropped significantly.

Even though it was June and they were dressed quite lightly, they were still struck by waves of cold.

What made them even more terrified was that when Zhang Xiu tried to light a match and a lamp, she couldn’t get it to ignite.

Combining all these circumstances, anyone could sense that something was very wrong in the room at the moment.

“Aunt Xiu, didn’t my cousin say that if something is amiss, we can pinch the philtrum to wake up Uncle Hanchu?”

“Should we go over to the bamboo bed and wake them both up?”

With a brave front, Sun Jinzhong suggested to Zhang Xiu who was beside him.

Four people were clearly present in the room, but aside from him and Zhang Xiu, the other two were utterly silent, as if they didn’t exist.

The situation was oppressive, very likely to invoke fear.

It was a good thing that Zhang Xiu was by Sun Jinzhong’s side, otherwise, he might have been frightened enough to run away, which was not completely out of the question.

“Your cousin only said to pinch the philtrum to wake up your Uncle Hanchu if things aren’t right,”

“He didn’t say anything about waking him up too.”

“What if he’s currently dueling with whatever’s troubling Uncle Hanchu?

If you mess around without knowing what you’re doing, it could cause serious problems!”

…

Zhang Xiu rolled her eyes at Sun Jinzhong, scolding him.

The safety of her man was at stake, and she remembered Chen Hai’s instructions word for word, very clearly.

In fact, even without Sun Jinzhong’s suggestion, she had already been thinking of waking up Li Hanchu.

However, because Chen Hai had been silent the whole time, she hesitated, worried her rash actions could interfere with Chen Hai’s methods.

“Aunt Xiu, my cousin didn’t mention waking him up?

Then I must have remembered wrong!”

With an embarrassed look, Sun Jinzhong chuckled awkwardly, “So now, should we still try to wake up Uncle Hanchu?”

Despite the darkness inside the room and only moonlight pouring in, which allowed some visibility after adjusting to the dark, Sun Jinzhong couldn’t help but feel a tingling on his scalp!

He had greeted his cousin several times, but there was no response at all.

Though Li Hanchu had weakened a bit, he was still a strong man.

Being able to wake him up would certainly put Sun Jinzhong’s mind at ease.

“Master Chen, Master Chen…”

Instead of responding to Sun Jinzhong, Zhang Xiu turned her gaze toward Chen Hai, attempting to call out to him a few times.

She intended to wake up her man herself with Sun Jinzhong if Chen Hai remained unresponsive.

But as soon as her words came out, the previously silent Chen Hai stood up.

“Aunt Xiu, Brother Zhong, if you want to wake up Uncle Hanchu, just go ahead and do it!”

“That thing has already been dealt with, and for now, Uncle Hanchu should be fine!”

Chen Hai said with a smile.

At this moment, after having resolved the resentful spirit, he had just returned to his own body.

He moved his body slightly and, after feeling no abnormalities, he walked a few steps to a nearby table where a lamp was placed.

The lamp that Zhang Xiu had tried to light several times before without success now caught flame with a single scratch of a matchstick by Chen Hai.

With the flame now shining, the dim room was illuminated much brighter.

“That thing has been resolved?

That’s great…”

Zhang Xiu’s face lit up with joy as she quickly made her way to the bamboo bed to wake her husband.

“Cousin, I’ve been calling you for so long, how come you never responded?”

Sun Jinzhong grumbled, unsatisfied on the side.

Since Chen Hai said it was fine, waking Li Hanchu was something Zhang Xiu could do, and there was really no need for him to help.

At this moment, as he grumbled, Sun Jinzhong was also curious, approaching Chen Hai and saying, “Cousin, you just ignored me just now.

Don’t tell me you were battling that thing with a soul departure!”

Sun Jinzhong, though fearful of such matters, couldn’t help but be curious.

With Chen Hai present, he felt as if he had a backbone.

The hair-raising fear in his heart dissipated magically the moment Chen Hai spoke.

Faced with Sun Jinzhong’s curiosity, Chen Hai smiled without saying a word.

In front of Sun Jinzhong, he felt it was better to maintain a sense of mystery about these matters.

Who knew if his cousin, upon learning that soul departure was real, might try to attempt leaving his body like he had done one day!

Of course, his silence was also out of kindness, as his abilities were purely the result of luck, impossible to replicate!

If others, not knowing the risk, tried to recklessly attempt soul departure, they could very well lose their lives.

With his hands behind his back, Chen Hai walked out of the main hall by himself.

When he came back, he had an additional frame in his hands.

“Master Chen, what is that…” Li Hanchu had just been awakened, looking somewhat paler than before, and even his speech was noticeably weak.

After falling asleep, although he hadn’t had any more sensuous dreams, he dreamed of the woman in the flowered dress fiercely fighting with a huge leech.

Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that he would be affected, suffering some damage to his spirit and will.

When Zhang Xiu woke him, she had already briefly explained to Li Hanchu what she knew.

Putting everything together, although Li Hanchu guessed that the huge leech might be related to Chen Hai, he knew it wasn’t appropriate to ask too much, even if he understood in his heart.

“Uncle Hanchu, there’s a problem with this frame in your house!”

“If touched frequently, it’s very likely to affect both you and Aunt Xiu’s health.”

“Following my advice, I think it’s best to burn this thing directly!”

Chen Hai explained, pointing at the frame in his hands.

This thing, with yin qi lingering inside, served as the anchor for the woman in the flowered dress to descend here.

Although the woman in the flowered dress had been dealt with, keeping the frame was definitely not advisable.

Of course, Chen Hai merely identified the problem, but ultimately, it was up to Li Hanchu and his wife to decide what to do with it.
