Liu Tong knew that Liu Xiao's dream was likely his past life experience, brought about by the soul he sealed in the compass.

That soul not only brought him memories of his past life, but also his cultivation level from that life.

Liu Dong noticed it when they had breakfast together the next day.

Liu Lin's body was surrounded by surging magical power.

This is because he doesn't know how to restrain himself. Anyone in the Xuanmen sect can tell that Liu Lin possesses magical power and is a fellow practitioner.

Such people are the "food" that demons and ghosts love most.

Liu Tong took out the talisman she had drawn the day before and handed it to Liu Lin.

"Brother, this is a talisman. I prepared it especially for you, so don't lose it."

Liu Lin laughed and said, "Are you still using those talisman-drawing tricks? These days, science is the way to go, and charlatans can't survive."

Despite saying that, he still put the talisman into his pocket.

After all, it was a gift from his own younger brother.

As soon as he acquired the talisman, the magical power within him was bound by its power and forced back into his body.

Now, in everyone's eyes, he is no different from an ordinary person.

Liu Tong: "Second brother, it's been a long time since you've meditated, hasn't it?"

If Liu Xiao meditates and cultivates according to the techniques he taught, he can quickly absorb that magical power and bring it into his dantian.

Liu Xiao shook her head: "I don't have time."

Liu Tong: "You should still set aside half an hour each day for meditation. That practice is good for your health."

Thinking of the comfortable feeling after each meditation session, Liu Xiao nodded in agreement with Liu Tong's words.

After that, Liu Xiao would meditate for half an hour every morning after waking up.

The power he gained from his dream flowed into Liu Xiao's dantian as he meditated.

However, he still didn't know that he possessed great power.

The dreams continue every night, and they're like a TV series.

Although Liu Xiao sensed something was strange, she didn't think much of it.

After all, they are children raised under the guidance of materialism.

Tonight, it won't be Liu Xiao following Uncle Jiu to exorcise demons and catch ghosts anymore.

Liu Xiao has mastered all the Maoshan Taoist arts and graduated from Uncle Jiu's apprenticeship.

Uncle Nine left Renjia Town with his two apprentices and went to Hong Kong Island.

Liu Xiao then returned to her hometown.

His hometown is in Jiangnan, right by West Lake.

The scenery here is incredibly beautiful, a natural beauty that surpasses even the modern West Lake in its charm.

After graduating from high school, Liu Xiao and Liu Tong went on a trip together and visited West Lake.

However, much of the area is artificially constructed, and it's filled with people; you don't really see much scenery.

Liu Xiao's home is a two-courtyard house, with an old servant looking after it.

This old servant was rescued by Father Liu and is extremely loyal to the Liu family.

The old servant was essentially a housekeeper, his wife was the cook, his son ran errands for Liu Xiao, and his daughter was responsible for the rest of the housework.

Liu Xiao took over his father's original business.

His father's old clients originally thought they would take care of the child because of his father's influence, but they didn't expect that Liu Xiao's abilities were even higher than his father's, and he helped several local gentry solve their problems.

Liu Xiao's reputation spread, and he attracted even more customers.

With good business and lots of money, Liu Xiao's life was very comfortable.

It's much more comfortable than at Uncle Jiu's house.

Although Uncle Nine is very capable and deals with extremely powerful zombies and ghosts.

But Uncle Nine was not destined to be wealthy.

The cases he handled were either about clients being killed by ghosts or about people who weren't wealthy and didn't pay him much.

On the contrary, Uncle Nine needs to consume a lot of materials every time he deals with those incidents.

Purchasing materials can cost a lot.

Therefore, Uncle Nine was very poor.

This resulted in Liu Xiao only being able to eat meat once a month at Uncle Jiu's house.

This is nothing like being at home, where I can eat meat every day. "Zhang San, why is it so noisy outside?"

Zhang San went out for a run and returned to report: "It is said that the government is arresting a notorious bandit."

Liu Xiao said "Oh" and raised her right hand to pinch her fingers.

He just did a casual calculation, and the result surprised him.

He realized that this matter was related to him.

Liu Xiao: "..."

Liu Xiao suddenly stood up and walked to the backyard.

The backyard was a woodshed, and inside lay a man covered in blood.

Liu Xiao took a deep breath, stepped forward, helped the man up, and carried him into her room.

Liu Xiao asked Zhang San to clean up the bloodstains in the woodshed.

Zhang San's family has a close relationship with Liu Xiao and would never betray her.

As Liu Xiao was helping the man clean his wounds, there was a knock on his door.

Uncle Zhang quickly went to open the door, and a group of soldiers rushed in.

The leader asked Uncle Zhang, "Have you seen any strangers?"

Uncle Zhang shook his head, and the leader waved his hand. The others pushed Uncle Zhang aside and searched everywhere, turning the house upside down.

Soon, they arrived outside the house where Liu Xiao lived.

One of the soldiers wanted to kick down the door, but Zhang San immediately stopped him.

“This is my grandfather’s bedroom. He’s resting in there, so please don’t disturb him.”

The leader said, "Sleeping while the sun is still in the sky? Who are you trying to fool? You must be doing something shady inside. Maybe you're harboring some ruthless bandits. Break down the door for me."

The other soldiers were about to break down the door when suddenly, the door opened from the inside, and Liu Xiao, yawning, appeared in front of them.

"What are you doing? Disturbing my rest. Don't you know I was exhausted after performing a religious ceremony for the mayor's family yesterday?"

The moment the word "mayor" was uttered, the soldiers were terrified.

The leader carefully examined Liu Xiao.

He was a young man in his early twenties, with rosy lips and white teeth, and was very good-looking.

However, he looks thin and weak, posing no threat.

With such an appearance, coupled with such words...

The leader thought of someone.

"You're Master Liu?!"

Liu Xiao: "It's me. I was meditating in my own room, did that bother you?"

"It's alright, it's alright," the leader hurriedly replied.

Liu Xiao: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would take in a ruthless bandit?"

The one in the lead said, "No, no, how could Master Liu possibly do that? We'll leave right away and won't bother you."

The leader apologized repeatedly and urged his subordinates to follow him out of the Liu residence.

The soldier asked, "Boss, why are you being so polite to a weak scholar?"

The leader said, "He's no weak scholar; he's the famous Master Liu Xiao."

"Which Master Liu?"

This soldier didn't understand, but the other soldiers did.

Another soldier: "Idiot, it's none other than Master Liu, who fears neither gods nor ghosts."

"what."

All the soldiers understood.

This Master Liu is no small figure in Hangzhou. He is extremely skilled in fortune telling and feng shui, and is a guest of honor for many dignitaries.

Moreover, it is said that this person is truly capable of exorcising demons and catching ghosts.

Legend has it that the young master of the Xie family of Ci'an Hall was bewitched by a fox spirit, abducted to the deep mountains, and almost eaten.

Thanks to Master Liu's timely arrival, the young master of the Xie family was saved.

From then on, the young master of the Xie family became Master Liu's biggest supporter. (End of this chapter)
