Chapter 26 Wipe Your Saliva

In the hospital.

Song Qin arrived at the office.

On the desk, she saw the case that had not reached a conclusion yesterday.

After reviewing the case from beginning to end, she suddenly had a new idea.

If I use the ancestor's method here, then...

This might work!

Song Qin, who had always studied Western medicine, began to turn her attention to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Western medicine has its advantages.

Traditional Chinese Medicine also has its advantages.

Wouldn't it be better to combine them, leveraging their strengths and mitigating their weaknesses?

Many people worship the ancestors.

However, very few can successfully summon them.

Among them, those who can receive the inheritance like Chu Haoming and Song Qin are even rarer.

Some, upon first seeing the ancestor, were kicked out of their dreams.

Fearing that these little brats might accidentally die.

In the minds of the older generation, dreaming of the dead is an ill omen.

Leaving only the screams of the viewers, "No, Ancestor!"

There were also some ancestors.

Who completely forgot who these descendants calling them were.

But since they met, it was fate, and passing on some knowledge was not impossible.

However, as they taught, they found the person to be too foolish.

And simply left.

The inheritance from the ancestors.

If learned well, it brings fame and fortune.

If not learned well, it becomes a ghost story.

And those who received the inheritance undoubtedly gained immense fortune.

Some learned extensive knowledge of cultivation and, with the help of their ancestors, escaped poverty.

Others, already accomplished in modern society, had no desire to accept the ancestors' ways.

They argued with their ancestors in their dreams, even competing to see who was more powerful.

Whoever was more powerful, they would listen to.

There were also shy girls who summoned ancestors skilled in singing and dancing.

They realized their dreams of dancing, and a classical dance stunned many.

In a time when everyone sought martial arts and various professional skills.

No one expected that someone would secretly learn divination!

Able to interpret Yin and Yang, determine the Five Elements, and read the sun and moon in the palm.

Measuring Feng Shui and surveying the Six Harmonies, holding the universe in their sleeves.

Knowing everything about heaven and earth, understanding Yin and Yang, and the clarity of life and death.

At first.

Jiang Xian's summoned ancestor.

Also kicked him out of his dream for having poor aptitude.

After waking up, Jiang Xian did not give up.

He first paid respects to the ancestor, "Ancestor, I will work hard!"

Then he bought a pile of ancient books and studied them carefully.

When evening came, he would pay his respects to the ancestor early and go to sleep.

And then be kicked out again.

"Your efforts are useless, get lost!"

"I won't give up!"

Jiang Xian became more resilient. "Ancestor, don't you want to see what fortune your inheritance will bring in later generations?"

"Don't you want to stir up huge waves in this world after centuries?"

These words moved the ancestor's heart slightly.

Many people sought no money or profit.

But they were extremely proud of their unique skills.

If they could leave a name for eternity.

If they could once again dominate the world centuries later.

Then they would live forever in the river of time, forever in people's memories and aspirations.

"Hmph, the little fellow's tongue is quite nimble."

After being kicked out twice in a row, Jiang Xian finally saw the ancestor again.

He quickly grabbed his notebook and studied diligently.

Then...

"Scram! I've never seen anyone with such poor aptitude!"

After being kicked out like this more than ten times.

Jiang Xian finally touched the threshold of divination.

At this point, the ancestor also assigned him a task.

Go to the street and divine for people.

"Yes, Ancestor!"

Jiang Xian was a little excited and a little worried.

But more than that, he was looking forward to what would happen in the future.

He also wanted to see how much change his divination could bring to the world!

Many who received inheritances were given small tasks by their ancestors.

Perhaps playing a suona on the street, making people's scalps tingle.

Or participating in a cooking competition, fiercely declaring their intention to win.

Or sitting on the side of the road, holding a few copper coins, and offering fortune-telling.

The short video captions became like this:

"After learning needlework from a seamstress for a few days, I embroidered a pile of dung."

"Acting? Who can act better than the Empress?"

"A newly learned imperial dish, a total loss!"

"After learning martial arts from a general for three days, let me perform a bullfight for you."

"Ding~ Daily task completed: Live stream for two hours, earned 200 points!"

"Ding~ Daily task completed: Promote underworld culture, earned 200 points!"

In the underworld, Jiang Lin silently collected points and merit points.

"Ding~ Daily task exceeded, bonus points awarded: 500 points, 500 merit points!"

"Please continue your efforts, host!"

"Limited-time task: Reach late-stage Great Ghost General within half a month!"

"Remaining time: 5 days"

Jiang Lin's points from previous tasks, plus the bonus points, totaled 3400 points.

In these seven days, doing daily tasks could earn hundreds of points each day.

All of these added up to nearly ten thousand points.

He converted them all into large Yin Qi Pills, getting 19 pills, with 200 points remaining.

Looking at his meager points again, Jiang Lin felt no pain.

He took out the beginner underworld cultivation card he had obtained from tasks.

He entered the beginner cultivation room and began to cultivate in seclusion.

He swallowed Yin Qi Pills one by one, as if eating candy.

While absorbing the Yin Qi Pills, he also refined the Yin Qi in the cultivation room.

Although the Yin Qi in the beginner cultivation room was not much, it was better than nothing.

A large amount of Yin Qi entered his body, and Jiang Lin sat cross-legged.

The thin layer of Yin Qi in the cultivation room also slowly gathered towards him.

The river of Yin Qi within his body grew wider and more fierce.

Jiang Lin was already close to breaking through to the mid-stage Ghost General. It only took about two Yin Qi Pills to directly reach the mid-stage.

He then charged towards the late-stage Ghost General.

His aura climbed steadily.

Late-stage Ghost General.

Peak Ghost General.

Great Ghost General!

Jiang Lin's aura surged significantly, with surrounding Yin Qi almost condensing into a tangible form.

If it weren't for being in the cultivation room, it would have leaked out.

At this moment.

More than half of the Yin Qi from the Yin Qi Pills had been used.

Jiang Lin originally wanted to use the remaining Yin Qi to try and break through to the mid-stage Great Ghost General.

But until all the Yin Qi in his body was absorbed, he only managed to stabilize at the early-stage Great Ghost General.

As expected, the further one progresses, the harder it becomes.

These candy pills are not enough.

Jiang Lin moved his body, familiarizing himself with his new strength.

His joints crackled.

No wonder they say that Ghost General and Great Ghost General are a watershed.

As a Ghost General, one could only apply a thin layer of ghost qi to the surface of the body.

But as a Great Ghost General, one could not only use ghost qi as armor but also detach it from the body.

Like those ice and fire abilities, for ranged attacks.

The ghost qi possessed within the body was also several times that of a Ghost General.

Moreover, as his strength increased and merit points grew.

Jiang Lin felt that he could do much more than before.

There are still five days.

Perhaps I can try that thing.

Jiang Lin murmured.

The forum system should also be almost complete.

After Jiang Lin came out of the cultivation room, many little ghosts who were about to enter turned their heads.

They were all stunned by the power emanating from Jiang Lin.

And the golden, shimmering merit points almost blinded their dog eyes.

"Who is that great figure? Why are they here?"

"They must be looking for someone. The beginner cultivation room is probably useless to them."

"I've never seen so many merit points in my life."

"Wipe your drool."
