Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 305 - 127: Exploration Complete, Moving to Divine Wood Hall
Li Yuan contemplated for a long time, wanting to make a decision, but still hesitating...
Because Lady Yan was restricted by the ghost realm and couldn’t leave with him.
...
...
That night, after entering his dream, Li Yuan once again arrived at the grocery store on Ghost Street.
Even before he could speak, Lady Yan had already spoken first.
"Sir, you have Yin energy on you."
Li Yuan was taken aback.
Lady Yan continued, "It’s the flower scent from the flower shop."
The flower scent from the flower shop?
When did that happen?
Li Yuan’s expression slightly tensed, and then he suddenly recalled his adopted daughter mentioning a "faint floral scent." Could it be that Gongshan Jun was indeed peculiar?
Lady Yan said, "The flower shop has an item called Resentful Soul Fragrance. It’s a kind of powder, and once sprinkled on someone, even if the person is at the ends of the earth, they can be traced and found.
If the person is killed, the Resentful Soul Fragrance will attach to the killer. The one using this Resentful Soul Fragrance can then follow the trail to find you."
Li Yuan’s pupils contracted slightly.
Obviously, Gongshan Jun had Resentful Soul Fragrance on him.
He killed Gongshan Jun, so the fragrance transferred to him.
What his adopted daughter smelled was the lingering scent.
"So... should I go to the flower shop?"
"No need," Lady Yan said flatly, then she directly raised her hand towards Li Yuan’s face.
Her hand was icy cold and very fair.
With a pull of her five fingers, a faint red wisp of smoke was drawn out from Li Yuan’s forehead.
Lady Yan clenched her fist, and the red wisp of smoke dissipated immediately.
"It’s fine now," Lady Yan said, "But there might still be some small troubles."
Just as she finished speaking, a cyan-clad figure appeared on the pale, winding path outside the grocery store.
It’s the Cyan Robe Vendor.
The vendor had a warm smile and quickly walked towards the grocery store, standing still at the doorway, but not entering.
Meanwhile, the white-robed store clerk Feng’Er suddenly walked to the door, and with a series of "clack-clack" sounds, stood still.
After a while, a little flower-selling girl with a blood-red scarf and a basket appeared on the road outside.
The little girl had a blank expression and indifferent look, running swiftly to the grocery store, then clenched her fist and began pounding on the door.
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang!
The knocking was loud.
Then, the vendor opened the door.
The little girl grinned creepily, grabbing the vendor and trying to drag him out.
But she couldn’t budge him.
The Cyan Robe Vendor and the little flower-selling girl were in a stalemate for a short while, then suddenly separated again.
The flower-selling girl turned and ran away.
Shortly after, the Cyan Robe Vendor turned towards the counter, took new rouge and powder from the cupboard, and ran to the front street to sell things again.
Lady Yan said, "I directly removed the Yin energy from you, which attracted the ghost from the flower shop.
But because there’s not much Yin energy on you, only one ghost came from the flower shop.
It attacked the grocery store but was blocked by the Cyan Robe Vendor, so it went back."
Li Yuan said, "Sister Yan, do you know where the ghost realm of the flower shop is located?"
Lady Yan said, "To the southeast of the Little Ink Workshop, presumably the place where you encountered mischief before, Sir."
After becoming an evil ghost, Lady Yan suddenly knew many things.
Li Yuan was silent for a moment.
The enormous manor, like a corpse...
Could it really be a corpse?
Could the flower shop be selling corpse flowers?
No wonder Ice Bone Flowers bloom at the edge of the ghost realm, it turns out it’s all because of the flower shop...
How fortunate am I to encounter a "Twin Ghost Shop" when I’m just at Ninth Grade...
However, a question arises.
"Flower Shop Ghost Realm," "Ice Bone Flower," "Gongshan Jun’s Resentful Soul Fragrance from the flower shop," these things linked together seem to form a mysterious clue.
Where does this clue lead?
Could it be the fishing line of a fish rod?
Or is it one of the many intersecting lines of a vast net?
At that time, he still thought, "Gongshan Jun shouldn’t possibly be sent by some major power," after all, which major power would have a Sixth Grade powerhouse act as a demon hunter for thirty years?
Now it seems he underestimated the danger level of this world.
Wait!
The Black Lotus that stops pursuers, poisons a village into dissolution.
Waiting for a flower to bloom.
Black petals.
A lot of information, numerous spoken words involuntarily swarming in, seems to begin constructing an elusive, unverifiable, seemingly just imaginary vast net.
"What’s the matter, my husband?" Lady Yan asked.
Li Yuan finally came to his senses and recounted everything that had happened recently, as well as what he knew and his suspicions in full detail.
Lady Yan said, "If that’s the case, you really need to leave..."
She leaned against the man, her whole body pale.
"Take Xiaozhao and leave. Our child should live in the human world, not the Ghost Realm."
"As a mother, I couldn’t give her eyes.
So, before you leave, I’ll personally draw them for her."
Li Yuan said, "I will tie the Thousand-Mile in a Line to Yu Chaoyin. No matter where I am, I will come to the Black Market Ghost Realm to find you. It’s just... Xiaozhao..."
"Take her away."
Lady Yan’s expression softened. She glanced at the little girl playing in the distance at the general store and said, "She doesn’t belong here."
...
...
A month later.
Gu Xuejian personally came to pick up her beloved disciple.
Li Yuan had also made all kinds of preparations.
He made a trip to She Xiang, where Xu Lan and Xu Sheng had already broken through to the Seventh Grade and were now on the path to Great Perfection.
He copied the Thousand-Mile Knight Painting and the South Mountain Ghost Rain Painting, giving the former to Xu Lan and the latter to Xu Sheng, then left.
He placed a copied Gentleman Riding a Deer Painting at the Martial House, giving it to Zhao Chunxin.
As for the original, he placed it in the Black Market Ghost Realm, for such things couldn’t be carried around.
Li Yuan knew very well what the three Visualization Images outside could bring.
But that which they brought was exactly what he hoped for.
He also went to see General Gu Xiang, though... he was Mr. Mu, unrelated to the departing Blood Saber Ancestor.
At this moment...
The great river thawed.
Li Yuan left with his family, following Gu Xuejian.
As for Hengwu Restaurant and Baihua Winery, they remained open in their original places. However, both had now become properties of the Blood Saber Sect.
Li Yuan and the proprietress walked together, holding their daughter’s hand.
Xiaozhao had "grown" a pair of beautiful eyes.
Behind him were his adopted daughter and a puppet shrouded in a cloak, its appearance indistinct.
Pang Yuanhua sat in a wheelchair, also following behind him.
Then came Meilan Zhujue, Aunt Wang, originally nicknamed Xiaosheng, Wang the First, and Wang Chuliu, nicknamed Niuniu.
In the distance were the laughter of Gu Xuejian and Xiao Ping’an.
The Vice Hall Master was fostering a relationship with her beloved disciple.
This long procession walked and stopped, stopped and walked, gradually moving further away...
Li Yuan glanced back in the direction they came from.
...
And to the south of Long Sleep River, further south in the borderland of Shanbao County.
A man and a woman walked in the wilderness.
The man’s frame was burly, clad in a red robe, his expression quite composed.
The woman wore a snow-white robe, with her hair down, her face pure to the point of making others feel self-demeaning, but her eyes were a mix of "stagnation from over-focusing on research" and "madness."
If Li Yuan were here, he would recognize this man as the owner of the Zhong Mansion on Ghost Street.
If Pang Yuanhua were here, she would recognize this woman as her "roommate," Ms. Long.
The two walked the open wilderness, showing no sign of concern for their curses.
Evidently, their curses had long been broken... not just once, but possibly twice or thrice...
The owner of the Zhong Mansion said, "Gongshan Jun was killed, and the Resentful Soul Fragrance on him was also cut off."
Ms. Long said, "It’s been a long time since I’ve been out, you’re asking me, I also can’t guess who it was."
The owner of the Zhong Mansion said calmly, "I was just saying, no matter who killed Gongshan Jun, no matter how the Resentful Soul Fragrance was cut off, it doesn’t matter... we will know eventually."
"What do you plan to do with the foreign bones? Just keep pretending and coaxing them?"
"It’s not coaxing."
"Oh, clearly you could kill them with a flick of your hand, yet you defer to them at every turn."
"I’m not deferring to them, I’m deferring to the Lianyi House behind them."
"Lianyi House? I haven’t been out in ages, tell me about them."
"Do you know the Cyan Robe Vendor? Do you know about the newly appeared general store on Ghost Street?"
"I’ve never been in, I don’t know."
"It’s the perfect fusion of humans and ghosts, an existence absolutely impossible to replicate.
There should be one in the general store, and an even stronger one in the Lianyi House..."
"Interesting."
The two strolled a while longer.
The owner of the Zhong Mansion suddenly looked up, speaking with a slightly intoxicated expression, "The lotus is about to bloom...
This is our unprecedented masterpiece...
This is a masterpiece imbued with the power of the Flower Shop and Miracle Beast Garden."
Saying this, he looked up, finally revealing a smile and said, "Appearances are born from the heart, everyone... is a beast."
