I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

Chapter 246 - 228 Everyone Suffers_2

"back when i was healthy, they said my nerves were abnormal. now that i’m truly cursed, they can’t diagnose anything wrong!"

xiao ran let out a long sigh of relief, carrying the brocaded box from the passenger seat and walked into the pawnshop.

having lost all faith in modern medicine, he had no choice but to place his hope in bai zhenjun. he couldn’t endure the torment of the ghost eyes any longer; it wouldn’t be much longer before he truly suffered a nervous breakdown and went insane!

the pawnshop was the same as always, cold and quiet.

the only light in the place had a low wattage, illuminating only the middle of the counter while the rest remained dim and gloomy.

at the counter,

zhou yi was busy scribbling and drawing, attempting to develop a base system with formation and prohibition, so that after success, he could completely refine his cell phone into a magical artifact, leaving no trace of modern technology.

xiao ran rubbed his face and walked over, asking, "what’s bai zhenjun busy with?"

"waiting for you to come!"

zhou yi slightly lifted his eyelids and continued to study the formation and prohibition. a visit in the dead of night must be for a reason.

familiar with the place, xiao ran sat across the counter. previously, by selling four counterfeit cultural relics, he had made several million from zhou yi and had long since quit his job at the cultural relics bureau.

he placed the brocaded box on the counter and opened it to reveal a nine-layered pagoda, which, by its patterns and shape, appeared to be an artifact of buddhism.

"this buddhist pagoda is a treasured collection of my teacher’s," he said. "its age has never been pinpointed, but i pleaded for quite a while before he agreed to sell it to me."

"a buddhist demon-suppressing pagoda, what a treasure," zhou yi said, as his divine sense swept over the pagoda. the demons it once suppressed had long since dissipated over time, and the pagoda itself had degraded into a finely made imitation antique.

"of course, i’ve been at the research institute these past two months, where they’ve been trying to find out the secrets of the clairvoyant eye," xiao ran said. "it wasn’t until they sifted through a mountain spirit and tested millions of soldiers that they found two people with innate clairvoyant abilities, so i was no longer needed for their experiments."

as he spoke, xiao ran could not help showing a helpless expression. he had thought he was a one-of-a-kind protagonist, but it turned out he was only special for two months!

"they certainly move fast, but they’re doomed not to achieve anything," zhou yi shook his head slightly. "the cultivation world has been studying the spirit root for thousands of years, whether it was to improve one’s talent or to guide relatives on the path, but all in vain."

spirit root was like the rules of heaven and earth, appearing randomly in people, without any special treatment just because one’s father was a divinity transformation ancestor.

technology, at least current technology, was seen as an interesting approach by cultivators!

"it’s not just fast, it’s extraordinary."

xiao ran snorted coldly, "just as zero’s soul was scattered, they released that person the next day without any cover-up process, completely disregarding the law!"

"are there any laws regarding ghostly entities? how can ghost stories be considered as evidence in court?" zhou yi’s voice was somber and dark, "if they truly began ruling cases based on the words of ghosts, there’d soon be a precedent for judgment. those in high positions would never be able to sleep again, since even the dead would not be able to keep secrets!"

xiao ran frowned, suddenly realizing, "does zhenjun mean that zero didn’t die from an experimental accident?"

"perhaps," zhou yi said. "since zero wasn’t unique and the lab had replacements, its demise was inevitable."

recalling the ghost shadow’s look of despair, xiao ran clenched his teeth, "such blatant retribution, just to kill zero completely. aren’t they afraid of being held accountable by higher authorities?"

"according to you, at worst it’s a testing error; after an investigation, at most a few electricians get fired," zhou yi shrugged and said, "besides, with more and more fierce ghosts appearing, they won’t have the resources to capture them all. who’d bother about just number zero?"

xiao ran was astonished, "will there really be more ghostly entities in the future?"

zhou yi nodded, "not only will there be more, they will also become more violent and brutal, commonly racking up killings. they certainly won’t die as pitifully as that number zero!"
