Chapter 36: Divvying Up the Spoils After Murder and Robbery

  Just as Fang Wei was in a state of shock, he suddenly felt something floating behind him. He quickly dodged and looked back, but what he saw made his three souls leave two souls. He let out a miserable cry and rolled away like a rabbit, scrambling to hide behind Ye Nan's back. Grabbing onto Ye Nan's sleeve tightly, his voice trembling with fear, he exclaimed: "Nan...Nanzi, how did this happen? You didn't finish the job cleanly! They've caught up with us! Quick...quickly destroy it!"

  Ye Nan saw Fang Wei like this, really couldn't help but laugh and cry. After finally managing to wrestle his sleeve out of Fang Wei's hand, he smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I've captured the evil spirit that the Taoist priest had, now it listens to my orders, it won't do anything to you!"

  "Really? It really won't... " The usually unflappable Fang Wei, who would not change color even if Mount Tai were to collapse in front of him, was only able to reveal such a timid and frightened appearance when faced with something that left him completely powerless to resist.

  Ye Nan beckoned with his hand, put the spirit into the pot, carefully plugged the lid, and smiled at the other party, spreading out his hands: "See... isn't it gone? Don't look so scared!"

  The spirit was finally taken away by Ye Nan, and Fang Wei let out a sigh of relief. He still didn't feel at ease, and reminded him: "Nan Zi, you can put the lid back on, but don't let it get out again!"

  "Alright, alright, don't worry about it!" Seeing Fang Wei's timid appearance, Ye Nan couldn't help but feel helpless. Normally, Fang Wei would kill people without batting an eyelid, but for some reason, he was terrified of these things!

  With Ye Nan's guarantee, Fang Wei finally put his mind at ease and looked at the pile of bottles on the table, asking: "Besides the one just now, is there anything else good?"

  "There's nothing good about it, but he got a lot more than his master did. He even managed to get a ghost general, a dark soul flag, and two white bone spears!" Ye Nan sighed, having risked his life to the point of almost losing it, only to gain such meager benefits, and it seemed like he had also promised that ghost general to let it go!

  This ungrateful Ye Nan had forgotten that the 100,000 check sent by Director Wang was also one of the benefits...

  As for the Yin Soul Flag, Fang Wei didn't dare to be interested in it. This ghost thing, just by its name, you can tell it's evil and eerie. On the other hand, that White Bone Awl, about half a foot long, looked snow-white and sharp, quite interesting. However, although Fang Wei was interested, he didn't dare to move recklessly, what if it was some kind of evil thing too? That would be terrible! Better ask clearly first before doing anything!

  Fang Wei pointed at the white bone cone and asked curiously, "Nan Zi, what are these two things used for? Are they for making flying darts?" As expected of a killer, he immediately saw the use of this thing.

  Ye Nan smiled and said, "That's right. It's used for shooting people with flying darts. This thing contains corpse poison and curses, the most vicious one. According to the records in that book, as long as it slightly scratches the skin, within seven breaths, the whole body will be paralyzed. Within seven hours, if no antidote is found, the poisoned person will surely die!"

  "Is it that powerful? Can ordinary people use this thing?" Fang Wei became more and more interested, this was a great tool for killing people!

  Ye Nan knew at a glance what Fang Wei was up to, and smiled: "If you like it, just take it away. Just be careful yourself, make something like a leather case to hold it well. If you hurt yourself, that's your own fault!"

  When Ye Nan said this, Fang Wei couldn't help but smile and quickly stretched out his hand to carefully take it over. Looking at the snow-white, crystal-like small cone, he really liked it too much. He carefully took it to the room to put it away, only then remembering that he was covered in sweat, so he hurriedly ran to the bathroom to take a bath.

  Ye Nan carefully put away the things on the table, carefully flipping through the Finger Soul Record in his hand, and secretly thought: "It seems that although it's more difficult, I still have to try my best to learn as much as possible. Can't always rely on Fang Wei to pass, these two times were just lucky, what if next time Fang Wei is not around, everything will depend on myself!"

  Yè Nán, who had been frightened by two narrow escapes, was no longer daring to be lazy. He began to take a serious view of the future and everything he might have to face. Since he had entered this circle, he must make up his mind to face everything in it.

  Whether in the circle of ordinary people or this special cultivation circle, everything is about the survival of the fittest, filled with all kinds of open and secret struggles. The struggle in this cultivation circle is even more perilous, often involving life and death, soul-snatching and fate-sealing! Therefore, those who are not prepared will inevitably be unable to last long in this circle.

  Wei washed up and came out, only to see Ye Nan alone in the living room, holding a tattered book, sometimes gesturing with both hands, sometimes drawing circles on the floor with his feet, occasionally muttering nonsense from his mouth.

  Fang Wei smiled slightly, nodding his head in relief: "This kid has gone through all this and finally understands the importance of strength. It's good that he's learned to strive for improvement..."

  He thought about it and turned around to leave, didn't go with Ye Nan for the daily mandatory combat training, gave himself a night off, opened his computer to watch a movie.

  Ye Nan studied diligently in the living room for a while, familiarizing himself with several basic talismans, hand seals and steps on top. He looked at his practice and went upstairs to return to his room when he was almost done. However, this time he didn't sleep either, but instead started to operate the Jiling Jue, beginning to meditate and gather spirits.

  There are things to learn, but the foundation can't be lost. Without strong spiritual cultivation, even if you learn more things, they will be empty. Recently, it's possible to break through to the lower grade of Jade Liquid soon. Ye Nan is now focusing wholeheartedly on gathering spirit and advancing towards the lower grade of Jade Liquid, and no longer sleeps to learn new things in dreams!

  Gradually, as a refreshing spiritual energy poured in from the top of the head, Bai Hui acupoint, Ye Nan's Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant on his chest began to shine again. As the pendant shone, the surrounding spiritual energy frantically gathered towards Ye Nan's Bai Hui acupoint. Large amounts of powerful spiritual energy flowed into Ye Nan's Purple Mansion through the Bai Hui acupoint and circulated several times before merging with that dense white spiritual energy.

  As the spiritual energy poured in continuously, the white spiritual energy in Ye Nan's Zifu also became more and more concentrated. Gradually, it was already like a substance, but just lacked that little bit to condense into a liquid.

  Until six o'clock in the morning, with the ringing of the alarm clock, Ye Nan woke up from his meditation with a hint of regret and couldn't help but sigh. It was still short by just a little bit, how many more days would it take to fill this gap and make a smooth breakthrough?
