Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Hellhound

Sharp nails were coated with a layer of black ghost energy.

Ordinary people, upon contact with ghost energy, would have their vitality usurped and gradually perish.

Qin Zhao’s cultivation technique was quite unique, as she could absorb such ghost energy. Not only ghost energy, but she also could absorb evil energy, resentful energy, yin energy, and all sorts of strange energy clusters, transforming them into her own power.

Because of this special cultivation technique, Qin Zhao’s cultivation speed in her previous life was extremely fast. However, the more negative energy she absorbed, the more she needed to maintain her purity of heart, otherwise, a Heart Demon would emerge.

In this life, within this world where spiritual energy was scarce, she could still cultivate. She had absorbed the female ghost’s soul beads and the resentful energy from Dragon King Temple, so her cultivation had already entered the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Given time, she was certain to recover to the Divinity Transformation stage of cultivation and ascend once again to the Immortal Realm.

Her slender, pale hands effortlessly grabbed the old lady’s wrist, and the enveloping black ghost energy surged entirely into Qin Zhao’s body. The old lady’s dark green eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty and triumph.

"Still not revealing your true form?"

The evil creature was smug, waiting for Qin Zhao to be devoured by the ghost energy.

But after a long wait, nothing happened to her. Instead, the power within the creature began to fade away!

The direction of the power’s dissipation...

The dark green eyes, in disbelief, looked towards Qin Zhao, who was holding its hand.

She could actually absorb its ghost energy!

"Ah!"

The old lady let out a wretched scream, a transparent shadow emerged from her body, then shrank back.

Clearly, it did not want to leave the old lady’s body.

Qin Zhao’s peach blossom-like eyes suddenly turned ice cold as a golden spell hit the old lady’s forehead.

"Get out!"

With her scolding, a transparent large dog engulfed in black flames rolled out from the old lady’s body, falling to the ground, trembling and whimpering under Qin Zhao’s gaze.

"Woo woo wang."

Qin Zhao narrowed her eyes slightly, recognizing its identity.

Hellhound.

This was not something that should exist in the Human World.

Probably, during the Ghost Festival when the gates of hell swing wide open, it had escaped from the underworld.

When the Hellhound left the old lady’s body, she lost all strength and almost collapsed to the ground. Zou Tingjun was quick to support his wife.

The old lady’s complexion was very pale, but her expression was much more peaceful.

A few minutes later, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Grandma, are you alright?"

Zou Ziqi saw her awaken and was overjoyed.

Madam Zou looked somewhat bewildered, "What happened to me?"

She only felt as though she had been asleep for a very long time, unable to fully wake up.

Zou Tingjun held her, the aged man with hair turning to grey wept like a child, "It’s okay now, all is well."

"Woo woo..."

The Hellhound, covered in black, its fur like burning black flames, with dark green eyes and long, razor-sharp fangs, looked exceedingly ferocious.

But at this moment, it was crouching on the ground, its forelimbs folded together in a gesture reminiscent of a beckoning cat, with its dark green eyes not daring to meet Qin Zhao’s.

Clatter clatter, several soul beads rolled onto the floor.

They had been taken out by the Hellhound, which then resumed its pleading posture.

"Where did these marbles come from?"

The others, unable to see the Hellhound, only saw many pale green marbles suddenly appearing on the ground.

The soul beads were about the size of marbles and looked quite similar.

"Those belong to me."

Qin Zhao explained nonchalantly, picking up the soul beads from the ground.

She gave the Hellhound a stern look, "You follow me from now on, and if you dare to harm people again, watch out for your dog life."

"Woof woof!" Okay, okay.

This Hellhound, which had possessed Madam Zou, had brought quite a bit of trouble to the Zou Family, but since it hadn’t killed anyone, Qin Zhao let it off this time.

Now that the gates to the underworld had already closed, if she wanted to send the Hellhound back, she would have to wait until the next Ghost Festival.

"What in the world is that thing?"

Xie Han, who had gathered with the crowd, couldn’t help but ask.

He had even seen a female ghost before, so he was relatively brave.

"Hellhound, it ran out from the underworld."

As soon as Qin Zhao finished speaking, everyone could see the Hellhound.

"Holy shit!"

"Oh my god..."

The Hellhound bared its teeth at them, and their faces turned instantly pale as they hurriedly retreated.

"Behave yourself."

Qin Zhao spoke, and the Hellhound quickly knelt obediently on the ground, retracting its sharp teeth and showing what it thought was a friendly expression to them. However, its green eyes still looked exceptionally eerie.

A few minutes later, they saw the terrifying Hellhound transform into a small, naive-looking black puppy, closely following behind Qin Zhao.

"Miss Qin, this bank card contains fifty million."

Zou Ziqi helped the old lady to rest, and Zou Tingjun gratefully offered Qin Zhao a bank card.

However, Qin Zhao didn’t accept it.

"I don’t need the money, but I need a favor from Old Zou."

Zou Tingjun thought that with her superb abilities, she probably wouldn’t need the money, so he took the bank card back.

"Please speak, Miss Qin. If it’s within my power, I will definitely help you."

Qin Zhao took a piece of white paper from the desk and wrote down a series of medicinal names.

"I hope the Zou Family can help me gather these medicinal ingredients. If you can find them, I will pay you the market price for the materials."

These were the ingredients needed to refine the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill is an elixir required for the beginning of cultivation that can allow an ordinary person to be reborn.

Even those with terminal illnesses could be cured.

Qin Zhao didn’t need the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill; it was for Qin Wan.

Her cultivation was sufficient to refine the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, but she lacked the medicinal ingredients and tools.

Qin Zhao had looked up the Zou Family online earlier; Zou Ziqi’s parents were involved in the biopharmaceutical industry, and they had a vast medical group in their hands.

The ingredients needed for the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill were very precious in this world, many of which were not available in drugstores. It would be too much hassle to find them one by one.

"Some of the medicinal ingredients listed here might be quite hard to find."

Zou Tingjun, who also had some knowledge of medicine, took a careful look at the list and finally said, "I’ll have people help you gather them as soon as possible. As for the cost of the materials, Miss Qin, you need not pay me.

My wife’s life is more valuable to me than anything. Miss Qin, you saved my wife, which makes you a lifesaver for our entire family, these materials are nothing in comparison."

"Then I thank you, Old Zou."

Zou Ziqi personally saw Qin Zhao and Xie Han out, and several times he excitedly shook Xie Han’s hand, "I can’t believe it’s really resolved, thank you so much.

My grandmother is my grandfather’s life; they’ve been in love all their lives. If anything had happened to her, I fear my grandfather would have..."

Zou Ziqi sighed and did not continue.

"In any case, thank you. If there’s anything you need help with in the future, just tell me."

"It’s all good, all good."

Xie Han hadn’t expected Qin Zhao to really solve the problem and was all smiles.

But Qin Zhao’s expression was somewhat complex. She suddenly stopped in her tracks and said to Zou Ziqi, "The Hellhound would not possess someone without reason, there must be a malevolent and petty being in the Zou Family, be careful."

She had also warned Old Zou of this.
