Chapter 53 -49: Easily Solved!
If he could devour the soul of Li Ping’an, the Taoist Cultivator, its strength would have increased more than tenfold, no longer needing to knock on doors and tempt like an obsession, it could have easily killed anyone at will.
Therefore, some wise and strength-damaged Fierce Ghosts, Xiao Xianlü, instinctively attacked Li Ping’an once again.
This time, the mouth facing Li Ping’an suddenly opened extra wide, to the extent that it could fit a living person inside, intending to swallow Li Ping’an whole.
“Five Peaks Seal!”
Although Li Ping’an knew that casting another spell would deplete his mana completely, he still hesitated not a bit to form the newly learned and beginner-practiced Five Peaks Seal, at the fingertips of the hand seal, a flame burst forth once more, two knuckles in size, appearing pure red in color.
That flame, as Xiao Xianlü, the Fierce Ghost, lunged to bite, suddenly transformed into Five Small Mountains, directly pressing the Fierce Ghost right in front of Li Ping’an.
This press immediately scattered all other souls the Fierce Ghost had devoured, restoring its body to its pre-death appearance—a disfigured face and resentful eyes, while it emitted a piercing scream.
“Soul Collecting!”
This time, Li Ping’an successfully absorbed the greatly weakened Fierce Ghost from under the Five Small Mountains into his palm; the Five Small Mountains returned to their initial state of flames, burning continuously along the black aura on the ghost’s body.
“Ah!”
Another burst of piercing screams rang out, even more intense than before, as if forcibly crossing everyone’s eardrums, resonating directly in the brain, and ultimately shattering all the chandeliers inside the banquet hall.
Although this sudden scream was unbearably sharp, it sounded more like a desperate wail of a person on the brink of death.
Not far away, Wanyan Mengwen was constantly watching Li Ping’an’s every move; she had also seen the dreamlike Lotus Platform and heard the ear-piercing screams.
Before Li Ping’an got up to act, all the hopes she had pinned on him had already been shattered; now, she could completely trust Li Ping’an, because she truly saw hope in him!
The thoughts of others were similar; now, Li Ping’an in their eyes was simply a God’s General sent from White Jade Capital, an Immortal from legends, an Arhat descended from Western Heaven—truly a Bodhisattva with a compassionate heart, using tough measures to redeem the evil spirit.
“Time to rest!”
Following that, they heard Li Ping’an’s whisper at their ears; enduring the intense pain in his head, he glanced over, only to see Li Ping’an grasping something in the air.
After grasping it, Li Ping’an turned back and stared at Wanyan Mengwen with a mischievous smile:
“Big Sister Wanyan, Captain Huang, don’t forget all your promises!”
The flame in Li Ping’an’s hand grew fiercer, suddenly erupting like a volcano; the pure red flame surged, using the black aura as fuel, relentlessly burning, instantly incinerating Xiao Xianlü, the Fierce Ghost, and even its last obsessions burned into nothingness.
At this moment, under the illumination of the backup lights, a burst of firelight flashed through Li Ping’an’s hand, making him appear in everyone’s eyes like a Fire God descending to earth, inexplicably charismatic and divine.
“It’s settled!”
Li Ping’an took a deep breath, his face relaxed and indifferent, but his body was extremely exhausted; this feeling of depleting all mana was like saying “there’s not a drop left” in front of a woman unsatisfied and desiring more.
To quickly restore his mana now, he needed to absorb Spiritual Essence and replenish promptly, but unfortunately, he still hadn’t figured out how to absorb Spiritual Essence and channel qi into the sea.
“It seems the path of Cultivation is long and obstructed indeed!”
All Li Ping’an wanted now was to sleep, and with heavy steps, he walked towards Wanyan Mengwen and Huang Yi’an.
The people who survived the ordeal quickly came running over and surrounded Li Ping’an, bombarding him with questions:
“You truly are a living immortal, aren’t you? By the way, is that thing completely dealt with?”
“Immortal Li, I was speaking out of turn earlier. I couldn’t recognize a mountain for what it was, looking down on others with my dog’s eyes. Please, don’t hold it against me!”
“Immortal Li, you are too incredible! Do you know any spells for prolonging life? Could you teach me? Just say the word, and I’ll set you up with a secure job immediately!”
“Immortal Li, there is a plot of land I recently developed that keeps having unexplained deaths. Could you help me look into it? Just solve it, and I will give you one hundred million—no! Three hundred million!”
“Living Immortal, do you take disciples by any chance? I’d like to follow you and cultivate. Just agree, and I’ll give you half the shares of my company!”
“Immortal Li…”
These prominent social elites and tycoons no longer cared about keeping up appearances, nor did they mind Li Ping’an’s age or his ordinary status as they incessantly pleaded with him.
At that moment, all the noise left Li Ping’an, who was very weak, feeling dizzy and swollen-headed. He replied irritably:
“The problem is resolved, that thing is gone, now shut up, you’re all killing me with noise!”
In the past, these wealthy and influential people riding in their luxury cars wouldn’t have given Li Ping’an a second glance as he walked down the street. But now, having seen what he was capable of, even as Li Ping’an arrogantly yelled and scolded them, they relished it, wishing they could spend more time with the living immortal.
Not wanting to vex Immortal Li, they immediately quieted down, and Li Ping’an, eager to shake them off, patiently advised:
“I am not a living immortal, nor do I know any so-called spells. Everything earlier was pre-arranged with Captain Huang—DUANG~ all special effects, get it?”
“Living Immortal, do you think we’re blind? We clearly saw it was real!”
The crowd took it as if the living immortal were just joking.
“If you don’t believe it, ask Captain Huang and Officer Wanyan!”
Li Ping’an immediately shifted the blame to Huang Yi’an and Wanyan Mengwen.

Still stunned, they quickly snapped back to reality when Li Ping’an cleverly turned the tables on them. After hesitating for a moment, they coordinated:
“That’s right…”
Huang Yi’an and Wanyan Mengwen hurriedly blabbered an explanation:
“Actually, that thing wasn’t here at all. We received a message from the authorities saying they wanted to investigate your financial dealings. That’s why we came up with an excuse to detain you here.”
“These past few days, we deliberately had someone knock on doors to scare you. Just now, Li Ping’an and a few stunt performers hidden in the shadows put on a play for you. Now that we have cleared up your issues, you may go home.”
“Impossible! It was clearly a ghost just now! It couldn’t possibly have been an effect!”
A female boss, who had not spoken until then and still somewhat frightened, cautiously asked while staring at the back of the banquet hall:
“Living Immortal, did you manage to eradicate that fierce ghost? Even though they agreed to let us go, I am afraid of bringing the evil spirits home…”
