Before the world mutated, people talked about Feng Shui Treasure Lands, but they didn't really have any effect.

However, after the world mutated, these Feng Shui Treasure Lands became real Feng Shui Treasure Lands.

As for the Chen family, it seems a bit unique. It wasn't a Feng Shui Treasure Land that made their family prosperous. Instead, it was the officials they produced through luck that created that Feng Shui Treasure Land and brought blessings to their ancestors.

After the Feng Shui Treasure Land appeared, it also brought blessings to their future generations.

Interesting!

"Mr. Chen, can I inspect your room?"

Xiao Mu asked again.

By inspecting the room, he intended to find traces left by the evil ghost and hunt it down.

Chen Wenjun's noble Qi hadn't been completely drained, the evil ghost shouldn't have left.

Xiao Mu suspected that the evil ghost might be hiding somewhere in the Chen's house.

He decided to find the evil ghost.

"Of course, Mr. Mu, please follow me."

Chen Wenjun took the lead to guide Xiao Mu to his room.

"Cough cough!"

The Daoist Luo Fu coughed awkwardly, glaring at Xiao Mu, "I didn't expect you to be so formidable. I admit I'm lagging in the ways of Taoist Law. I'll leave the Chen's place to you."

"But don't get too confident. Beating me won't mean much. We have many more formidable people in our Three Dao Assembly. After my return, I will inform them about you. At that time, more formidable people will come to exchange pointers with you."

He, who not only failed to discover the existence of the Yin Qi Line but almost killed Chen Wenjun because of his mistake, couldn't bear the humiliation and decided to leave. But before he left, he didn't forget to say a few courteous words to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu responded indifferently, "I'm always open to exchanges in Taoist Law, but if their abilities are only similar to yours, maybe they shouldn't bother."

The growth in Taoist Law could only be achieved through exchanges. Xiao Mu didn't mind interacting with other true disciples of Taoism, provided they were truly capable.

"You..."

At Xiao Mu's words, an enraged Daoist Luo Fu glared at him. But after all, he didn't lose his temper. Instead, he turned around and stormed out.

"Mr. Mu, please follow me."

After Daoist Luo Fu left, Chen Wenjun once again invited Xiao Mu to follow him to his room.

Inside Chen Wenjun's room, there was a strong smell of blood. Besides that, there was also a strong ghost Qi.

The ghost Qi mingled with noble Qi, obscuring the distinction between them and creating a sense of chaos.

First, he inspected the mattress where Chen Wenjun slept

Xiao Mu's gaze quickly focused on it.

Although Chen Wenjun had already stripped the bed of its bedding, Xiao Mu could still make out traces.

Clearly noticeable on the spot where Chen Wenjun slept was the Yin Qi from the ghost claw. It was chaotic.

Evidently, last night, when the evil ghost was dismembering Chen Wenjun, it was pressing on him.

He looked underneath the bed.

There was a bloody knife under the bed.

Xiao Mu bent down and picked up the knife.

"Ah..."

Seeing the bloody knife, Chen Wenjun screamed in fear, frightened once again.

The knife was taken from his kitchen. When he got up today, it was missing.

He didn't expect the evil ghost to have taken it, used it to dismember him, and then thrown it under the bed.

Xiao Mu inspected the knife.

It was a high-quality kitchen knife with a sharp blade. Estimated to be quite pricey, it must have cost at least several hundred or even over a thousand in the supermarket.

On the knife's handle, there were clear traces of Yin Qi left by the evil ghost.

Judging from the level of Yin Qi, the evil ghost was probably an evil ghost of the 'Li Gui' rank.

As for a blood demon, it was unlikely.

If a blood demon appeared, there would be a lot of commotion, and Chen Wenjun wouldn't be able to withstand the intense blood Qi it emitted.

"This is..."

Right after, Xiao Mu made another discovery.

The thing was on the floor, likely dropped on the bed when the evil ghost dismembered Chen Wenjun. It must have fallen to the ground when Chen Wenjun got up and tidied his bedding.

Xiao Mu picked it up to examine closely.

It was a small piece of bone.

A bone?

Was this taken from Chen Wenjun by the evil ghost?

Xiao Mu took a more careful look and quickly noticed that it wasn't right.

From the density of the bone, he deduced that it wasn't a living person's bone but a dead person's bone.

A dead person's bone?

What was the evil ghost doing with a dead person's bone here?

Surprised uncertainly, he looked at Chen Wenjun.

Chen Wenjun also noticed the bone in Xiao Mu's hand and asked in surprise, "Mr. Mu, this... this seems to be a bone?"

"It's a bone."

Xiao Mu looked at Chen Wenjun seriously, "Mr. Chen, I suspect this bone is related to one of your ancestors."

In the bone, Xiao Mu found an energy similar to what was on Chen Wenjun, as if they shared a common origin.

Xiao Mu guessed that this bone might have come from one of Chen Wenjun's ancestors.

What was the evil ghost doing with the bone of Chen Wenjun's ancestor?

Could it be...?

An idea sprung in Xiao Mu's mind as he moved the bone closer to Chen Wenjun.

"Ah..."

Chen Wenjun screamed immediately, "Mr. Mu, quick, take it away, it hurts, my bones hurt."

His bones hurt?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu moved the bone away from Chen Wenjun.

Just now, the moment the bone was close to Chen Wenjun, he could clearly feel the noble aura emanating continuously from inside Chen Wenjun himself – no, more accurately, it was from the bones within Chen Wenjun, and was being absorbed by the bone in his hand.

As his hand's bone absorbed the noble qi from within Chen Wenjun's bones, there was a gradual sign of it becoming crystal clear.

This was a sign of gaining spirituality, a sign the bone was turning into treasure.

So that's how it is.

Xiao Mu slowly let out a breath.

He finally understood what the evil ghost was trying to do.

In the Chen family, several generations had government officials. This peculiar phenomenon was reflected on the Chen family's ancestral graves after the world mutation, turning the ancestral burial ground into a Feng Shui treasure land.

This Feng Shui treasure land, in turn, affected the descendants of the Chen family, leading to changes in Chen Wenjun.

The most crucial change happened in his bones, they turned into noble bones.

This signified that nurtured by the Feng Shui treasure land, the person was destined for greatness, to be an official.

The evil ghost wanted to take away this noble qi from Chen Wenjun to enhance itself. Thus, it took a bone from one of Chen Wenjun's ancestors - a bone of the deceased.

At night, the evil ghost went to Chen Wenjun's room, dismembered him, removed his bones, then brought the bone it got from Chen Wenjun's ancestors near Chen Wenjun's bones, and used this bone, which had the same origin as Chen Wenjun, to absorb noble qi from him.

The evil ghost couldn't absorb all of the noble qi from Chen Wenjun's bones in one instance. Also, once Chen Wenjun died, the noble qi in his bones would disappear.

The evil ghost, not wanting to let Chen Wenjun die, stitched up the dismembered Chen Wenjun with Yin Qi Line after absorbing the noble qi from his bones for the first time.

This was why Chen Wenjun felt the evil ghost continually stabbing him all over his body with a needle last night, and woke up to find his bed soaked with blood.

But what was the evil ghost trying to do by extracting noble qi from within Chen Wenjun's bones?

If it intended to enhance itself with this noble qi, why would it absorb the noble qi into the bone of the deceased rather than consuming it itself?

This was something Xiao Mu couldn't quite understand.
