Chapter 42: Top-tier Spiritual Medium Quality?!
He's incredibly handsome! His face, with features that seem to have been carved out, his height, slender and elegant, his fine black hair, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, which are actually a deep blue color! The ghost is also quite polite, bowing his head to greet her: "Hello! Nice to meet you, Miss Su Yun. You can call me Wu Fang." Su Yun's three souls were gone, staring at the other's charming smile, she nodded foolishly and leaned in to shake hands: "Nice to meet you, just call me Su Yun." Wu Fang took a step back, not taking Su Yun's outstretched hand, leaving her somewhat puzzled. Qi Xiu said bluntly: "Don't get any closer! Wu Fang can't resist attacking you!" Su Yun blinked, attack? Looking at the smiling Wu Fang, to be honest, she seemed quite willing!
Qī Xiū rolled her eyes and said, "You're a spiritual medium, the best connection to this world for ghosts. To put it bluntly, in the dark world, you are light, an opium, even if you know you'll be reduced to ashes, you'll still recklessly throw yourself at the fire like a moth!"
Listening, Su Yun felt a chill run down her spine, it was really hard to imagine the feeling of being stared at by so many dirty things all the time. Sitting down, Su Yun occasionally glanced around and only then realized that the other person's gaze on her was calm, but with a hint of frenzy in their eyes.
Su Yin teased, "Are all ghost messengers this good-looking? Can I have one too?" Qi Xiu replied irritably, "Ghosts were human in their lifetime, they look like they did when they were alive. They also have an appearance after death, do you want to see it?"
Just as Wu Fang was about to take action, Su Yin hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, no, no! Don't bother! Let's just leave it like this! Leave me with a beautiful memory, at least I'll still have something to look forward to!" Wu Fang laughed happily, his pale face showing a vague sense of beauty: "Thank you for your kind words, Miss Su Yin!" Su Yin was embarrassed and waved her hand.
Zixiu couldn't take it anymore and, already impatient with Su Yin's foolish behavior, said: "Are you going to learn or not?" Su Yin quickly came back to her senses and nodded. Finally, she rubbed her arms and said: "But can we turn up the temperature first? It seems a bit cold!"
Wu Fang immediately bowed his head in apology, his figure extremely elegant, saying: "Sorry, Miss Su Yin, it was my mistake." In an instant, the room temperature returned to normal. Su Yin thought secretly, this ghost servant is quite useful, and she can save on air conditioning bills from now on. For the entire afternoon, Su Yin's mind was muddled by the knowledge that Qi Xiu had stuffed into her brain, completely destroying her worldview, outlook on life, and values - all three were ruined! As she walked back to her dormitory, she gradually organized her thoughts in her mind, and slowly formed a relatively systematic framework.
Firstly, it's the spirit, which is what people commonly refer to as a ghost, but not entirely accurate. The spirit can be broadly divided into three categories: one is the living spirit, where the physical body has not died, but the soul has escaped, this type of living spirit wanders outside for a longer period of time, the more burden the body bears, until finally, the body cannot withstand the load and dies, the living spirit then directly becomes a dead spirit. There are also cases where the shell that lost its soul is occupied by other spirits, which depends on the compatibility between the shell and the spiritual body, it's not that the spiritual body can occupy just because it wants to, this is one of the common misconceptions among ordinary people.
The second is the spirit of the dead, also known as the ghost, which is divided into earthbound spirits and wandering spirits. The former has a grievance in his heart and is confined to one place, which is an evil spirit. The latter is either unfinished wishes or incomplete three souls, and not necessarily an evil spirit.
Three is the spirit behind, and the spirit behind is divided into two kinds. One is evil spirits, commonly known as evil ghosts entwining the body. The other is guardian spirits, that is to say good spirits. This category is further divided into five small kinds: knowing friends' destiny spirits, husband and wife's destiny spirits, blood relations ancestors, namely ancestral protection, and also the essence of nature, which are a kind of innate spiritual objects cultivated into refined spirits with strong spiritual awareness, extremely rare. Lastly, and most rarely seen, are guardian deities, generally from ancient family worship, invoking the guardian deity to descend to the mortal world, serving as guardian spirits. For example, an emperor having dragon gods protecting his body is one such kind.
Guardian spirits are generally possessed by people with good fortune, sometimes friends, spouses, or ancestors who have deep emotional or blood ties. The last type of guardian spirit is extremely rare and only appears to those with exceptionally deep blessings, usually in the form of auspicious creatures such as dragons, qilins, or phoenixes, which possess extraordinary spiritual awareness and are protected by heaven and earth. Spirits also have different levels, apart from guardian spirits, other spirits' strength depends on their own willpower, the stronger the willpower, the stronger the spiritual awareness.
The spirit has finished, and now let's talk about the medium. In real life, everyone has a spiritual sense, only the strength is different. For example, children's spiritual sense is much stronger than that of adults. And among ordinary people, there are also those who will not weaken their spiritual sense with the passage of time, this kind of person is called a medium. On the other hand, some mediums will gradually strengthen their spiritual sense over time, and others can also enhance their spiritual sense through conscious training.
Ordinary people who frequently come into contact with yin spirits will easily become weak, fall ill, and experience headaches and nightmares. In the end, they may even suffer severe damage to their yang energy, putting their lives in danger. Spirit mediums, although also experiencing these symptoms, will not be endangered and have a much higher resistance to impact. However, the real difference lies in the all-purpose container nature of spirit mediums. As mentioned earlier, if a spirit wants to possess someone, it must consider compatibility issues; otherwise, forcibly taking over the body can cause it to rapidly collapse.
The spiritual medium system does not need to consider these, and any spirit is suitable. Moreover, the spiritual medium system also has strong and weak levels, and the higher the level, the stronger the cohesion and durability. Therefore, for spirits with lingering thoughts, the spiritual medium is simply the only warm light in an eternal cold and dark world, and it's not excessive to be infatuated with it like a moth to flame.
Finally, the spiritual mediums and those born with high spiritual awareness are almost the same, they are all groups that are more conducive to innate spiritual cultivation. It can even be said that spiritual mediums generally have higher and deeper spiritual awareness, and better talents. However, it is rare to find people who possess spiritual media, and even if they do, most of them die at the hands of evil spirits before they learn how to protect themselves. Not to mention, in modern society where materialism is emphasized and pollution is rampant, spiritual mediums are even more scarce.
When it comes to cultivation, people with high spiritual awareness can be broadly divided into three categories: spirit attachers, spirit drivers, and spirit controllers. Spirit attachers are spirits that attach themselves to a person's body, giving them extraordinary abilities, but their original form is easily consumed, unless they have a strong innate spiritual power, otherwise their consciousness will dissipate and it will be difficult to recover.
There are two types of spirit tamers. One is to kill the spirits, absorb their abilities and strengthen one's own spiritual medium. The other is to use certain methods to bind or eliminate the spirits' perception and consciousness, turning them into tools for personal use. This method is the most ruthless and bloody, but also the safest way, usually used to deal with evil spirits and high-level spirit bodies.
Spirit controllers, on the other hand, differ from the first two in that they can be categorized into three types: one is mutually beneficial, where they assist spirits in transmitting work and receive powers bestowed by the spirits as compensation, which is usually a one-time thing; another is relatively long-term, where they use contracts or other means to trade some of their own costs with the spirit body, exchanging for power, this is a paid method of using spiritual abilities, using this method, even if humans have little contact with the spirit body, energy will not dissipate over time.
The last one is different from the first two, because of its own status or something, it becomes the driver of the spirit, can use the ability of the spirit for free, and itself is in communication with the spirit body, can absorb the ability of the spirit, is a rare situation that cannot be found, because this kind of spirit body is either very strong, or has an unknown deep bond with the entity, so it would rather not reincarnate than harm it!
She roughly understood the concepts of Ling, Ling medium, and cultivation. Su Yin rubbed her forehead, suddenly had an epiphany, but forgot to ask about Qi Xiu and Wu Fang's situation. It seemed like they were contract-type, and Wu Fang's level was very high. So, she was a top-level spirit medium, then she could also take in one... no, several extremely handsome and beautiful ghost messengers with high levels! She was ecstatic by herself, but Su Yin didn't notice that something was missing from her body...
