"Thank you, Mr. Mu!"

With great joy, Chen Wenjun quickly bowed his head to allow Xiao Mu to check.

Xiao Mu bowed his head and looked at the position where the thread was connected to Chen Wenjun's head before inputting a strand of Dao Method Spiritual Energy for a check. His face changed once again.

According to his check, this line seemed to be spreading throughout Chen Wenjun's entire body, as though it had formed a net, trapping him completely.

"Mr. Chen, let me check your body again," said Xiao Mu with a serious expression.

"Alright, Mr. Mu!"

Chen Wenjun quickly turned his body towards Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu purposely looked at the parts of Chen's body where the black qi was emitting, which was where Luo Fu, the Daoist, had just used the Ward Off Evil Talisman, causing Chen Wenjun to bleed. He also deliberately input Dao Method Spiritual Energy to check.

After the examination, Xiao Mu's face turned even more serious.

"Mr. Mu, have you found the cause?"

Seeing Xiao Mu stop the examination, Chen Wenjun couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Chen, it's probably better if you don't know," Xiao Mu said solemnly.

"Why?"

Upon seeing Xiao Mu's expression, Chen Wenjun began to feel extremely uneasy.

Xiao Mu explained, "Because I am worried that telling you might scare you."

The color drained from Chen Wenjun's face as he sensed the gravity of the situation from Xiao Mu's tone.

He was terrified and was on the verge of tears, "Mr. Mu, if you don't tell me, I'll be even more unnerved. Please, I need to know, whether it's good or bad, I think I can handle it."

Xiao Mu pondered, "Are you sure you want to know? As I have already told you, Mr. Chen, knowing will only frighten you without bringing you any benefits."

"If I don't know, I will be even more worried. At least by knowing, I can mentally prepare myself."

Chen Wenjun forced a bitter smile, his face pale.

Xiao Mu's words only deepened his sense of crisis.

"Alright."

Xiao Mu thought for a while and felt that Chen Wenjun had a point.

Knowing that there is something wrong with one's body but not knowing what the problem is can actually cause greater psychological pressure. If you know what's wrong, you get mentally prepared, which makes things a lot better.

"In that case, Mr. Chen, I will have to apply some small manipulations on you. Please brace yourself. No matter what you see, try as much as possible to remain calm," Xiao Mu reminded him.

Chen Wenjun took a deep breath, "Mr. Mu, I am ready. Please proceed."

Xiao Mu didn't waste any more words. He reached out and touched Chen's body, channeling a stream of Dao Method Spiritual Energy into it, following the trail of the black qi.

With the input of the Dao Method Spiritual Energy, Yin Qi lines suddenly appeared all over Chen Wenjun's body.

These Yin Qi lines covered his entire body like a net, entrapping him completely.

"Ah..."

Chen Wenjun glanced at his own body and screamed in shock. Following this, his eyes rolled to the back of his head, and he fainted from fright.

"Hush!"

Even Luo Fu, the Daoist, couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air at such an unnerving scene.

Chen Wenjun's body was terribly terrifying.

It gave the impression that he had been dissected and then sewed back together with Yin Qi lines.

No wonder Chen Wenjun fainted once he got a look at his own body.

"Mr. Chen."

Xiao Mu applied another dosage of Dao Method Spiritual Energy into Chen Wenjun's body, stimulating him and reviving him from unconsciousness.

"Mr. Mu, this... this... have... have I been dissected?"

Chen Wenjun's voice trembled, and he almost fainted again.

"Calm down, calm down!"

Xiao Mu tried his best to reassure him, "Don't worry, you're not going to die immediately. These Yin Qi lines are left by the evil ghost. As long as you kill the evil ghost and halt the source of the Yin Qi, it can be cured."

"Mr... Mr. Mu, can I be saved?"

Chen Wenjun's voice was trembling.

Xiao Mu said, "The key is to find the evil ghost and kill it."

Chen Wenjun suddenly felt a glimmer of hope, "Mr. Mu, please save me. Please."

Xiao Mu said, "Don't panic. Since I'm here, I'll definitely do my best."

"Thank you, Mr. Mu, thank you!"

Chen Wenjun gratefully expressed his thanks, then asked:

"But... why would the evil ghost do this? What is the point of tormenting me? If it wants to kill me, why not just kill me directly? Why torture me like this?"

Xiao Mu said, "Evil ghosts wouldn't do this for no reason, Mr. Chen. If they don't kill you, there must be a reason why they aren't killing you."

"What reason?"

Chen Wenjun immediately asked.

Xiao Mu thought for a moment, "As for the specific reason, I can't say for sure right now. Anyway, since the evil ghosts have done this, it means that whatever they're after must be related to your body, which is why they would meddle with you and... dissect you.

"As for why they 'dissected' you and then sewed you back together with Yin Qi lines, in my opinion, it's likely because once you're dead, whatever they're after will be out of their reach."

"This suggests that whatever it is, it must still be on your body and they haven't got it yet. Otherwise, the evil ghost wouldn't have gone through such great trouble to dissect you and then sew you back together with Yin Qi lines."

"What... what on earth could it be?"

Chen Wenjun opened his mouth wide, completely baffled as to what the evil ghost could possibly want from his body.

It was too strange, filled with mystery from beginning to end.

He even recalled the previous night, when he felt the evil ghost prick him over and over with a needle. Looking back, it was obvious that they were sewing him back together.

As for why he woke up to a bed soaked in blood, the reason was even more clear now.

Xiao Mu said, "I want to check your body again, perhaps I can make a judgement."

"Mr. Mu, please do!"

Chen Wenjun said earnestly.

Xiao Mu began his check on Chen's body once again, still injecting a stream of Dao Method Spiritual Energy into Chen's body to investigate.

Soon, Xiao Mu made a new discovery.

Chen's bones, compared with ordinary people, seemed to be very different.

They were faintly releasing a noble qi that he had felt when he first met Chen Wenjun.

Could it be that the purpose of the evil ghost was related to Chen Wenjun's bones?

What was the deal with these bones?

Noble Bones?

He thought about the aura he sensed when he first saw the Chen Family's courtyard.

Xiao Mu once again asked, "Mr. Chen, I have a question that I'd like you to answer."

"Mr. Mu, you are being too polite. Just ask and I will tell you whatever I know," Chen Wenjun quickly responded.

"Here's the thing," Xiao Mu said, "Did your ancestors hold many official positions?"

"Eh! Mr. Mu, how did you know?"

Chen Wenjun looked surprised, his gaze uncertain as he stared at Xiao Mu.

Immediately after, without waiting for Xiao Mu to ask again, he started, "Mr. Mu is indeed correct, my ancestral lineage indeed included quite a few government officials, it's either coincidence or something else, I am not sure."

"In any case, from my great, great... well, several great grandfathers back, each generation had at least one government official. Even though their positions weren't very high, this tradition has never been broken."

"Before the World Mutation, we didn't find it strange. But after the World Mutation, the grave of our ancient ancestor, the one before the first-generation official, suddenly turned into a Feng Shui Treasure Land."

It suddenly turned into a Feng Shui Treasure Land?

Xiao Mu's expression subtly changed as he heard this.
