The Supreme Martial Arts Master in the World of Nine

"..."

Zhao Yi was speechless upon hearing this.

Although I could tell at a glance that this restaurant had a very gloomy atmosphere and probably contained something dirty.

Zhao Yi still hadn't expected that the restaurant would be so dangerous, with a family of five being murdered.

This is no longer just an ordinary haunted house; it's an extremely unlucky place.

Moreover, if an evil spirit kills five people in one go, then that evil spirit must be extremely ferocious.

It's very likely a vengeful ghost!

According to the Maoshan True Interpretation, ordinary ghosts are at most just wandering spirits.

"But after killing someone, the blood energy will stimulate the ghost energy, evil energy, resentment energy, and yin energy on the wandering ghost, thus completing the fusion of the five energies. At that time, the wandering ghost will turn into a fierce ghost."

"Depending on the proportion of the five elements, they can be divided into red-clothed ghosts with a high proportion of blood energy, black-clothed ghosts with a high proportion of malevolent energy, and white-clothed ghosts with a high proportion of resentful energy. Among them, the red-clothed ghosts are the most bloodthirsty."

"Such vengeful spirits cannot be saved; they can only be destroyed."

"Otherwise, if these vengeful ghosts are allowed to roam the human world, they will multiply as they are killed, eventually becoming a scourge of the region."

Zhao Yi wasn't too afraid, though, because his master was Ninth Uncle.

All we need to do is have Uncle Nine come over before moving and get rid of the evil spirits in the restaurant.

What annoyed Zhao Yi was that Wu, the comprador, had brought in such a haunted house; perhaps he had other motives.

"Heh, they probably have ulterior motives," Zhao Yi thought to himself.

"Mr. Zhao, although someone died in this house, it's cheap, practically free."

"At worst, you can find a Taoist priest to take a look; it won't cost much."

"Won't we make a fortune then?" the comprador Wu said with a forced smile.

"Hmm, that makes sense." Zhao Yi nodded.

Although she felt in her heart that the other party probably had no good intentions, she remained calm on the surface.

The house has a good layout and is well-decorated. In addition, it has a backyard of more than half an acre. Zhao Yi is very satisfied.

It's a move-in ready business; you can start operating as soon as you hire staff.

It's nothing more than the house being haunted, and it's likely to be very dangerous.

But these are the things Zhao Yi is least afraid of. Not only does it save him a lot of money, but it also earns him merit.

"However, all five members of his family are dead. Who was the seller?" Zhao Yi suddenly asked with some curiosity.

"He was a distant relative of the restaurant owner. His entire family of five died, and the inheritance was passed on to this distant relative," said Wu, the comprador.

"This is truly a windfall!" Zhao Yi nodded.

He was similar to the restaurant owner's relative; both were people who suddenly became incredibly wealthy.

"Alright, go contact him then. I'll buy this house!" Zhao Yi said.

"Haha, good, good, good!"

Comprador Wu burst into laughter and then left.

Zhao Yi then entered the restaurant and casually looked around.

The front shop occupies more than 200 square meters, and there is a wooden staircase next to the counter that leads to the second and third floors.

The upstairs area is about the same as the downstairs area, and the decoration is also similar.

It's just that it's on the third floor, unlike the first and second floors which are both large halls, there are a few private rooms.

On the left side of the counter on the first floor, there is a door that leads directly to the backyard.

Zhao Yi pushed open the door and entered the backyard.

Half an acre is not a small plot of land, and there are some furnishings inside.

There is a small artificial hill, a pond, and some trees and bonsai flowers.

"I'll rearrange it later. I'll ask my master to set up a feng shui formation to increase some spiritual energy or wealth," Zhao Yi thought to himself.

The Maoshan True Explanation does include a section on Feng Shui, but it focuses more on introducing Feng Shui principles than on teaching Feng Shui layouts.

The art of Feng Shui is a profound subject, no less than Taoist arts.

"There are only two side rooms, not enough rooms."

Zhao Yi glanced at both sides of the courtyard; there was a room on each side.

creak!

Pushing open the door of a side room at random, there was not a trace of mold or dampness.

"It seems this house is indeed incredibly ominous!" Zhao Yi murmured.

He hasn't found a single snake, insect, or rodent since he came in.

Even the courtyard wasn't very dusty.

Even if people lived there, it wouldn't be this clean.

"But this is also a good thing. Once the evil spirits in this house are dealt with, we can move in directly."

Zhao Yi's mood immediately improved.

Aside from the possibility that Wu, the comprador, might have other motives, overall, this house offers really good value for money.

"Next, I'll get the house deed, and then go back to my master to exorcise the ghost for me."

Zhao Yi was thinking about what to do next.

Although there are demons and even the underworld in this world.

But as long as you're alive, you need money.

Even the underworld needs money, and ghost messengers can be bribed.

Uncle Nine has done a lot of things like this to clean up the messes left by Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.

Moreover, both system exchanges and cultivation resources require enormous wealth.

Wealth, spouse, law, land.

Zhao Yi was very clear about this.

"Opening a restaurant, while not making a fortune every day, will be enough to cover daily needs and the resources required for ordinary cultivation."

"Let's stabilize things first, then figure out a way to raise a lot of money for the lottery."

Zhao Yi immediately had some plans in mind.

Although this era is chaotic and dangerous, it is really easy to make money if you have the skills.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Just then, a hoarse, aged voice suddenly rang out from behind Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi subconsciously turned around and looked at the restaurant entrance.

An elderly man, who appeared to be about fifty years old, was slowly walking towards the hotel.

"Um?"

Zhao Yi looked at the newcomer, his eyes flickering slightly.

The person's left foot landed with a slight drag, suggesting a problem with their legs.

But his steps were steady and without any hesitation, which clearly showed that he was skilled in martial arts.

However, the other person's face was sallow with deep wrinkles, and there was a deathly aura between their brows.

He was wearing a worn-out long gown and holding a long canvas pole in his hand.

It reads, "Calculate birth, calculate death, calculate reincarnation, know good fortune, know the universe."

"A yin-yang master?" Zhao Yi looked the other party up and down, somewhat puzzled.

He didn't recognize the other person, but it seemed that the other person had come to find him.

Moreover, even without using his divine eye, Zhao Yi could sense the yin energy emanating from the other party.

"This person is shrouded in deathly aura and has a strong yin energy. Could he be a tomb raider?" Zhao Yi suddenly had a thought.

He thought of the passage in the Maoshan True Interpretation that was only briefly mentioned.

"My name is Feng Luoyan, and I am a fortune teller," the old man said slowly.

"Fortune teller? I wonder what business Mr. Feng has with me? What did you mean by saying 'what a pity' earlier?" Zhao Yi asked calmly.

However, I became somewhat wary.

Zhao Yi wasn't sure if the other person was a fortune teller, but he was most likely a tomb raider.

Moreover, the other party's surname is Feng, and based on Zhao Yi's experience reading novels, this surname is not simple.

"Young master, your forehead is dark and your body is surrounded by blood-red light, which is an ominous sign and a death sentence is imminent," Feng Luoyan said.

"..."

Zhao Yi was stunned when he heard what the other party said.

Why is my forehead turning black and my body surrounded by blood-red light?

If he were really in such danger, how could Uncle Nine not have told him?

Although Uncle Nine wasn't an expert in fortune telling or face reading, he certainly knew the most basic things.

so......

What is Feng Luoyan's purpose in scaring me?

"Oh no, how could this happen? Master, please save me!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi had an idea in mind and decided to play along to see what the other party's purpose was.

At the same time, Zhao Yi activated the Eye of Sin.

[Merit Points -307 strands (No merit in body, greatly diminished unseen virtue)]

[Sin Value: 131 strands (Moderately vicious, sin as fiery as fire)]

[Defeating the enemy will grant 10 strands of merit.]

"Holy crap, what did this guy do to deserve such a despicable act!"

Zhao Yi's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Although his sin value is not small, it is still far less than that of comprador Wu.

But such a great loss of good karma is quite frightening.

"Could the other party really be a tomb raider, and a really despicable one at that?" Zhao Yi suddenly had a thought.

"His surname is Feng, and he might be a tomb raider. Could this guy be...?"
