Chapter 11: One more settlement, magic artifact!
Before leaving, Sheriff Walker also took one of Li Xuan's business cards, as he felt that the two would inevitably meet again in the future.
Ryan made it clear that he would personally come to his house to pick him up the next evening, treat him to dinner, and express his gratitude for saving his life.
"Father Li? Aren't you a Taoist priest?"
Holding the bowl, Cui Jue overheard their address and asked in confusion.
Don't be ridiculous, there's no such thing as a priest that handsome!
"How could these people understand Taoist priests? I told them they were Eastern priests, so..."
Li Xuan took the bowl and tore off the exorcism talisman from the girl's back.
The exorcism talisman had little spiritual power left; it had already consumed a great deal of magical power to severely injure the evil spirit.
boom--
The magic power circulated, and the talisman spontaneously combusted.
"Oh~"
Cui Jue watched in shock as Li Xuan threw the burning talisman into the water.
The burning talisman didn't go out when it came into contact with water; instead, it continued to burn.
No ash appeared where it had been burned; it quickly dissolved into the water.
Li Xuan handed over the bowl, smiling as he said, "Just feed her this water and she'll be fine."
Now he has become a genuine Taoist priest.
Moreover, it's the kind that truly possesses magical powers, so there's no need for those props to deceive people anymore.
"Okay! Yuanyuan and I really thank you this time." Cui Jue quickly took the bowl and carefully fed the girl water.
Cui Yuanyuan, the girl, drank two sips, and the evil aura dissipated, her complexion gradually becoming rosy.
Not long after, he woke up coughing.
"Mom..." Cui Yuanyuan had just woken up when she saw her mother put down the bowl and hug her. She burst into tears.
The mother and daughter started crying right in front of Li Xuan.
Cui Jue bent down and hugged Cui Yuanyuan, her buttocks unfortunately facing Li Xiaoxuan.
The key point is that she was holding her daughter and sobbing, her body was moving and trembling, and her hips were swaying.
"cough……"
Li Xuan coughed and took a half step back, embarrassed.
Hearing his cough, Cui Yu was startled awake. She carefully helped her daughter up and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Master Li..."
"It's alright. I'm not used to being called Master Li. Just call me Li Xuan. We're all Chinese, and Chinese people should help each other," Li Xuan said with a slight smile.
"it is good."
Cui Yu nodded repeatedly, looking at the messy house, which was full of filth and fragments of various objects, and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I don't even have a clean place here."
"fine."
Li Xuan waved his hand and plopped down on the stained sofa.
Upon seeing Li Xuan sitting next to her daughter, Cui Yu quickly called out, "Yuanyuan, quickly thank your Uncle Li..."
Then, he walked into the room.
"Thank you, Li..."
Cui Yuanyuan blushed as she looked at Li Xuan's young and handsome face, feeling that he wasn't much older than her, and said shyly.
"It's okay, just call me Brother Li."
Li Xuan noticed the girl's embarrassment and smiled to ease the tension.
"Thank you, Brother Li..." Cui Yuanyuan said in a soft, sweet voice.
Although she didn't see the specific process clearly, she knew that it was the handsome Taoist priest in front of her who had saved her.
"By the way, Yuanyuan, where did you mess with that thing?"
Li Xuan didn't understand psychology, nor did he care whether Cui Yuanyuan had any lingering fears or traumas, and asked directly.
Cui Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I just started having a fever after school the day before yesterday, and then I could see some scary things. After that, I don't know anything..."
"I see." Li Xuan nodded.
It's most likely that there's a problem with the school.
Cui Yuanyuan looks only thirteen or fourteen years old, probably in junior high school.
But to be fair, are people developing this fast these days? Middle school students are already as muscular as some adults?
No wonder Kris Wu got infected!
At this moment, Cui Yu took out a bag and pulled out three stacks of hundred-dollar bills from it.
"Li Xuan, thank you so much this time. I'm raising my daughter alone, and I also have to rebuild the house. This is all I can give you right now, I hope you won't think it's too little."
Li Xuan's eyes widened as he stared at the three stacks of US dollars in front of him.
"That's plenty, that's already a lot," Li Xuan swallowed and quickly replied.
Heaven knows, this was the first time he had ever met someone so rich and so generous.
The key point is that she is a young and beautiful woman.
For a moment, his gaze towards Cui Yu became even more intense.
"Cough cough..."
Cui Yu felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, but she couldn't say anything directly, since the other person was her savior. So she just coughed twice.
Li Xuan snapped out of his daze, took the US dollar bill, and casually put it into his pocket, changing the subject:
"By the way, which school does Yuanyuan attend? It's very likely that she was possessed by an evil spirit there."
"Is there something wrong with The Archer School for Girls?" Cui Yu asked in shock.
If this were true, what a huge mess it would cause!
I suspect so.
Li Xuan nodded and said.
The spider demon was killed so easily by him, so it wasn't very powerful.
Yet it is not afraid of sunlight, which clearly indicates that it is being controlled by a powerful evil spirit or sorcerer.
"Tell Yuanyuan to stay home from school and rest for a while." Li Xuan stood up, preparing to leave, and said, "I have other things to do..."
"Okay, I've got it. Li Xuan, could you please give me your contact information? I'm afraid I might encounter something like this again in the future..." Cui Yu nodded repeatedly.
Li Xuan gave her a business card and said with a smile, "By the way, where's your husband? Such an important matter, why haven't I seen him?"
Cui Yu took it casually and said with a smile, "They're divorced. Her father is white."
No wonder she can own a detached house here all by herself and send her daughter to Archer Girls' School.
"No wonder..."
Li Xuan smiled and glanced at Cui Yuanyuan; she did indeed have many Caucasian features.
Most of the offspring are not good-looking and have all sorts of defects.
But you can't see any of these in Cui Yuanyuan. She is more like a collection of advantages, a perfect combination of the strengths of both Asians and Caucasians.
Angelic face, devilish figure.
Her skin is as smooth as that of people of East Asian descent, her features are three-dimensional, and she has an amazing figure.
After leaving Ms. Cui's house, Li Xuan went straight home.
Sit cross-legged and practice your cultivation techniques.
Today's settlement:
The first test of the way of talismans: The first talisman is drawn and completed. With one stroke on the paper, the cinnabar becomes spiritually connected - this is called "the initial opening of the talisman heart", which cannot be achieved without diligent practice.
The merit of slaying evil: He vanquished one evil spirit at night and then slew a spider-like malevolent being. The former eliminates negative karma, while the latter accumulates small merits; both are acts of protecting the region.
The benefits of meditation: Regulate your breath and enter a state of tranquility for three short periods; though these should not be neglected, perseverance is most valuable.
Settlement Rewards:
Enlightenment in Talismanic Arts Improvement (Initial Understanding), "Introduction to Talismans, Volume One" (Three Types of Talismans), Talisman Brush (Magic Tool), Merit +15, Daoist Cultivation Advancement: +1 Day of Cultivation
