When Xiao Mu expressed his speculation, Chen Wenjun was once again shocked, his mouth agape, speechless for quite a while.
He didn't even know that he possessed noble bones which could help him hold an official position.
However, it was apparent that, for now, these noble bones not only have not brought him any benefits but also attracted an evil ghost, causing him huge trouble.
"Mr. Mu, is it possible that the noble Qi in my bones has not been completely absorbed, and the evil ghost will come again?"
Chen Wenjun's face changed dramatically as if something dawned upon him.
"Exactly!"
Xiao Mu answered.
Chen Wenjun was right, the noble Qi in his bones had indeed not been completely absorbed. Otherwise, the evil ghost wouldn't have expended energy to sew him up with the Yin Qi Line.
The ghost sewed him up using Yin Qi Line, fearing he might die, as the noble Qi in his bones would automatically dissipate once he died.
"Ah..."
Although he had expected it, Chen Wenjun was still terrified with the firm answer from Xiao Mu.
"So… so the evil ghost will come for me again tonight?"
Chen Wenjun's face turned pale with fear.
"Don't worry."
Xiao Mu comforted him, "We should be worried if the evil ghost doesn't show up. If it does, that's good. Only by killing the evil ghost can you be saved."
"Additionally, I suspect that the evil ghost might be hiding in your house, and it has not left."
"Hiding in my house?"
Chen Wenjun's face turned pale again, he sincerely pleaded, "Mr. Mu, please help me, I beg you."
At this point, Xiao Mu was the only one left who could help him. Chen Wenjun was very worried that Xiao Mu wouldn't help.
"Don't worry."
Xiao Mu smiled at him, comforting, "That's why I'm here."
Even if he wasn't saving people, and merely for the energy points, Xiao Mu would still intervene. Gaining energy points while simultaneously saving someone would be even better.
"Thank you, Mr. Mu, thank you!"
Chen Wenjun was extremely grateful, he kept making promises, "I hold a position in the relevant department. Although it's not a high-ranking one, I can help in some small matters. Should Mr. Mu need any assistance, feel free to approach me. I promise to give my full support."
Despite the world's mutation, having a familiar friend in the relevant department would be beneficial.
Xiao Mu smiled, "In that case, I should be thanking you first."
"Oh no, no, Mr. Mu. Please don't say that."
Chen Wenjun hastily expressed his modesty, looking somewhat frightened.
"Mr. Chen, do you have an ancestral spirit tablet in your house, or perhaps an ancestral hall? I'd like to take a look. I suspect something must have happened to your ancestors since the bone originates from them."
"On another note, that evil ghost might also be hiding in your ancestral hall."
Xiao Mu said this while holding up the bone of the deceased.
"An accident happened to my ancestors?"
Chen Wenjun had gotten a shock.
"My house doesn't have an ancestral hall, but we do worship ancestral spirit tablets. Mr. Mu, feel free to take a look."
Chen Wenjun readily agreed and led Xiao Mu to another room.
Though the room was not remarkably large, in terms of location, it held a central meaning for the entire courtyard.
Inside, several ancestral tablets were displayed, roughly around seven or eight.
Xiao Mu glanced around and found that these ancestral tablets were mostly devoid of spirituality.
This indicates that they are mere empty spirit tablets. The masters of these tablets are either reincarnated or their spirits are already shattered.
There was only one tablet in the middle of the top row that faintly exuded a trace of spirituality.
It was the Spirit Tablet of the Ancestor Chen Weiye!
Xiao Mu concentrated on this tablet. With just one look, he was stunned.
An evil ghost had taken over!
This Divine Spirits tablet did not belong to Chen Wenjun's ancestor Chen Weiye, but to an evil ghost.
The evil ghost occupied Chen Weiye's spirit tablet, but Chen Wenjun's ancestor Chen Weiye was nowhere to be found.
"Ancestor, it's time for dinner!"
Chen Wenjun did not realize that his ancestor's spirit tablet had been occupied by an evil ghost and was about to light an incense stick as soon as he entered the room.
"Wait! Mr. Chen, you don't need to light the incense."
Xiao Mu stopped Chen Wenjun.
"Mr. Mu, what happened?"
Chen Wenjun gazed at Xiao Mu with a puzzled expression.
"The spirit tablet of your ancestor has an evil ghost on it."
Xiao Mu nonchalantly said as he walked forward.
"Evil Ghost!"
Chen Wenjun shuddered in fear.
The evil ghost on the spirit tablet panicked as it saw Xiao Mu approaching, and it tried to escape.
Crack!
Xiao Mu would never let this evil ghost escape. With a single sword strike, the evil ghost was completely eradicated.
Power +1.
A few items fell, Xiao Mu reached out to pick them up.
Apart from the energy crystal, there was a black needle that kept emitting Yin Qi.
Holding it in his hand, it felt remarkably cold and the Yin Qi was oppressively strong.
This needle was probably used to sew Chen Wenjun back together after the evil ghost dismembered him.
Xiao Mu casually destroyed it. Now that the evil ghost and the black needle were destroyed, he could move on to save Chen Wenjun.
Besides that, Xiao Mu also found a command token made of bone—the Bone Token.
What is this?
Xiao Mu's gaze mainly fell on the Bone Token.
At first glance, it was apparent that the Bone Token was made from the bones of the deceased ancestor of Chen Wenjun.
Because it had absorbed the noble Qi, this Bone Token was faintly emitting a sense of majesty.
What on Earth?
Was the evil ghost trying to create a command token?
This Bone Token, once it possessed majesty, obviously had some sort of power to summon a horde of ghosts and could even boost the strength of an evil ghost to a certain extent.
Thinking about this, Xiao Mu's face slightly changed.
Was this evil ghost preparing for a war?
It seemed that a great battle was truly not far away.
"Mr. Mu, what...what is this?"
Chen Wenjun, staring at the Bone Token in Xiao Mu's hand, was terrified and confused, as he had no idea what it was.
"It's nothing."
Xiao Mu casually put away the Bone Token, not offering any explanation to Chen Wenjun.
He intended to hand this Bone Token to Qing Songzi.
Since the evil ghosts were actually preparing Bone Tokens for the upcoming great war, he had to notify Qing Songzi to prepare in advance.
"The evil ghost has been purged, Mr. Chen, now I can save you."
"Thank you, Mr. Mu, thank you!"
Chen Wenjun was overjoyed.
A long-standing concern was finally resolved.
"Mr. Chen, next I am going to replace the Yin Qi line in you with Dao Method Spiritual Energy. It might be a little painful, please bear with it."
Xiao Mu cautioned.
"Please proceed, Mr. Mu. I can bear it."
Chen Wenjun hurriedly replied.
Xiao Mu extended his hand and placed it on Chen Wenjun, using Dao Method Spiritual Energy to gradually remove the Yin Qi line in Chen Wenjun's body and replace it with Dao Method Spiritual Energy.
Chen Wenjun furrowed his brow, gritted his teeth against the pain, but he endured resolutely.
Half an hour later, Xiao Mu finished his operation.
Pulling back his hand, he said, "Okay, Mr. Chen. The Yin Qi has been replaced with Dao Method Spiritual Energy. You don't need to worry anymore. In at most half a month, your body will return to normal."
"Thank you, Mr. Mu, thank you!"
Chen Wenjun reiterated his gratitude, feeling extremely grateful.
After the Yin Qi line was replaced with Dao Method Spiritual Energy, he palpably felt his body relaxing significantly.
"You're welcome."
Xiao Mu indifferently replied.
Suddenly remembering something, Chen Wenjun's face changed again, and he asked Xiao Mu, "Mr. Mu, has something happened to my ancestor?"
