“That’s about it. Ever since I got this pearl, I’ve been fucking unlucky.”
The fat stall owner’s face was filled with fear and apprehension.
All kinds of strange things happened after he took this pearl.
He knew it was due to this strange pearl and wanted to throw it away.
Unexpectedly, every time he threw it away, it would reappear in his hands inexplicably.
“Just removing my tumor alone consumed half of my savings.’1
“After thatf more strange stuff continued.”
“I was just recently hit by a flower pot while walking in a daze, and 1 always feel like a disaster is imminent.”
The fat stall owner complained about his situation.
According to Chen Yu’s Heavenly Secrets Strategy, any corpse with a Fiend Suppressing Pearl in its mouth was a vicious person when it was alive.
After death, the malicious aura in their bodies would accumulate and not dissipate, and they could be turned into zombies at any time.
In order to prevent the corpse from turning into a zombie, the descendants of the dead would put a Fiend Suppressing Pearl in the corpse’s mouth.
It was crucial to suppress the malicious aura in the corpse.
As time passed, the Fiend Suppressing Pearl would absorb a large amount of negative energy.
While a living person wouldn’t die instantly after touching it, all kinds of bad luck would befall them.
“Mr. Chen, what’s going on with me?”
“What’s up with this pearl? How can it always come back to me?”
The fat stall owner asked a series of questions.
“According to my psychological analysis,” Chen Yu said sternly, “you have paranoid personality disorder.”
“I’m sure you’ve done a lot of illegal things.”
“You did throw this pearl away, but you always picked it back up when your mental illness acted up.”
Chen Yu’s explanation stumped the fat stall owner.
He picked it back up by himself?
Was this a joke?
“I’ll help you get rid of the black pearl and prescribe you a dose of psychotherapy medicine. The consultation fee is one million yuan.”
“But…”
The fat stall owner revealed a troubled expression.
“One million is too much. How about ten thousand?”
Chen Yu almost laughed out of anger when the fat stall owner slashed his one million yuan into ten thousand yuan.
“You spent half of your savings on a tumor removal surgery. Did you think of bargaining with the hospital?”
The fat stall owner was rendered speechless by Chen Yu s words.
“When you went down to the tomb, did you carefully look at the murals on the wall?”
“Yes, I did.”
The fat stall owner replied hurriedly.
“The murals seem to be depicting scenes from hell.”
“Explain it in detail.”
Although the fat stall owner didn’t know why Chen Yu was interested in the murals, he still carefully recalled them as instructed.
I le started describing the murals a total of six murals.
Five of them were devils with green faces and fangs who tortured humans.
A little devil held a pair of large scissors in one of the murals, while another two devils held down a person and pulled out his tongue.
In another mural, there was a man with his hands and feet chained up, lying on a stone platform.
A devil had cut open his torso with a knife, digging out his heart.
“The other murals all depict similar scenes.”
The fat stall owner thought for a moment and continued, “The third and fourth murals depict devils burning and pulling out a person s intestine.”
“What about the fifth mural?”
Chen Yu suddenly asked.
“The fifth mural shows a living person being frozen solid. A devil held a big hammer as if it wanted to smash the sculpture into pieces.”
After he finished explaining the contents of the fifth mural, the fat stall owner started explaining the sixth mural.
The sixth mural was strange.
The mural had a huge pit, with four people standing in each direction.
A person was lying in the middle, and there were a few auspicious clouds in the sky above their heads.
Another person was standing above the auspicious cloud.
“! understand; 1 understand now.”
Realization dawned on Chen Yu.
He knew why The Heavenly Secrets Strategy guided Chen Yu to this place.
It was all to unearth the real reason why the victims were killed.
The fat stall owner asked in a negotiating tone, “Mr. Chen, how about this?”
“Can you take this pearl away for now and give me a few days? I’ll go to your clinic to buy the medicine 1 need after I gather enough money.”
“Sure.”
Chen Yu left behind the address of his psychological consultation room and gave the fat stall owner a week to gather enough money.
It wasn’t difficult for Chen Yu to tell the fat stall owner that he wanted to see if the pearl would return to his hands.
Only after confirming it wouldn’t return to him would he talk about paying up.
Ever since he saw the victim’s photo and learned about the details of the serial murder case, Chen Yu had formed a karmic connection with this incident.
After absorbing a lot of merit and luck today, Chen Yu’s perception of his karmic connection became even sharper.
Following the guidance of the Heavenly Secrets Strategy, he arrived at Yunling Street.
The fat stall owner revealed key information about the serial murders.
In this era, where spiritual energy was scarce, evil sects would use any means to increase their cultivation.
They wouldn’t hesitate to go against the heavens or even twist fate itself.
After talcing the black pearl, Chen Yu prepared to return home.
The end of Yunling Street was adjacent to a residential area, so no taxi stops were nearby.
He had to pass through the streets to get a taxi if he wanted to return home.
Just as he was about to leave, Chen Yu abruptly stopped in his tracks.
He turned around and looked at the stall beside him.
The stall owner was an elderly man in his seventies.
There were a few types of traditional herbs on display.
“Sir, how much is this ginseng?”
Chen Yu reached out and grabbed a ginseng from the stall.
The ginseng was the size and thickness of a baby’s arm.
The old man stretched out five fingers.
“500,000, no bargaining.”
“Young man, since you came straight for this ginseng, it means you’re an expert in this field.”
“You know a price of 500,000 is definitely worth it.”
“Yes, it’s worth it.”
“Sir, since you have a hundred-year-old ginseng,” Chen Yu smiled and asked,
“You can also get other traditional medicinal herbs, right?”
“What else do you want?”
The old man asked casually.
“A hundred-year-old Fire Lingzhi, a hundred-year-old Intersex Knotweed, and a Bloodwind Vine that grows on a cliff that takes fifty years to bloom.”
“I also need a Snow Flower that grows on a snowy mountain as a medicinal primer.”
The old man’s expression changed drastically as he stared at Chen Yu.
“Young man, may 1 ask which sect or treasure land you are from?”
“Do you want these things, or do the other elders need them?”
The old man’s tone turned polite.
A hint of respect appeared in the gaze that was looking at Chen Yu.
‘Of course, I’m the one who wants it.”
Chen Yu replied with a smile on his face.
“Sir, you’re too polite. My psychological consultation room isn’t a sect of some sort.”
“Consultation room?”
The corners of the old man’s mouth twitched.
“Are you a psychologist?”
After asking this, the old man’s expression was indescribably strange.
“Yeah, I’m a psychologist.”
Chen Yu fiddled with the hundred-year-old ginseng in his hand.
“Can’t a psychologist buy herbs?”
The old man went silent.
it was not a problem for a psychologist to buy medicinal herbs, but there was a problem with Chen Yu’s choices.
The medicines he mentioned were not only expensive but also difficult to find.
These medicines were also not meant for ordinary people.
Fire Lingzhi, Intersex Knotweed, and Bloodwind Vine.
Chen Yu also requested a Snow Flower as a primer.
There was only one use for all these things.
Refining a pill for cultivation..
