Chapter 94: My Fault for Having Great Talent?

Ma Xiaoling lay on the bed feeling bored. From time to time, she glanced at Wei Ziqing, who was meditating cross-legged in the corner, and a look of admiration flashed in her eyes.

It had been three whole hours!

If it were anyone else, they would have definitely become restless after three hours of cultivation without any progress. However, he was as still as a piece of wood, and not even his expression changed.

“Perhaps his talent really is better than mine!”

As for the possibility of someone cultivating Exorcism Demon Force and bonding with the Divine Dragon in just one day and one night, Ma Xiaoling truly found it hard to believe.

She had already decided that by tomorrow night, no matter what, she would beg Uncle Qiu to come out of retirement!

Because she had just woken up from an injury and had spent so long teaching Wei Ziqing, Ma Xiaoling finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

She did not know how much time had passed, only that the silver moon outside had already begun to move west, and a hint of dawn was appearing on the horizon.

Suddenly, Ma Xiaoling snapped her eyes open in her sleep. With an unprecedented look of shock on her face, she looked sharply toward Wei Ziqing in the corner.

“This… how is this possible?” It was a very familiar power!

Others could not detect this power, but as a member of the Exorcist Dragon Clan, she sensed it clearly.

While Ma Xiaoling was utterly shocked, Wei Ziqing, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner, finally opened his eyes.

At this moment, although his face was still incredibly calm, the smile in the corners of his eyes could not be hidden!

“You… you…” Ma Xiaoling swallowed hard and looked at Wei Ziqing incoherently, wanting to know if her feeling just now was wrong!

“Yes! I succeeded. The Exorcism Demon Force has been born, and the Sea of Spirit has been opened!” Wei Ziqing nodded.

It had been over ten hours!

For him, producing Exorcism Power was not easy. He remembered that when he first practiced the Innate Skill, it had not taken this long.

Fortunately, it was finally born just as the sky began to turn white.

As for the Sea of Spirit, it was actually just like the Dantian used for practicing True Energy; one was simply in the Dantian, while the other was in the mind!

Although she already knew that Wei Ziqing had cultivated Exorcism Power, when she received confirmation from his own mouth, Ma Xiaoling’s heart finally churned like a stormy sea.

Fourteen hours!

It had taken her nearly half a year to cultivate Exorcism Power, yet he had used only fourteen hours!

Especially seeing how calm Wei Ziqing looked, Ma Xiaoling felt like kicking him. She felt that this kind of person was just begging to be hit!

She took a deep breath and said earnestly, “Very good, but you still need to work hard. Since you have cultivated Exorcism Power, consolidate the ‘Lin’ character spell. Originally, after bonding with the Divine Dragon, it would have been better to wait until you finished the ‘Bing’ character spell, but time is tight. Practice the ‘Lin’ character spell a few more times, and I will teach you the hand signs in a moment!”

Ma Xiaoling had to say this because she needed time to calm down.

This was no longer a question of talent; this guy simply wasn’t human!

Wei Ziqing did not know this and thought Ma Xiaoling was telling the truth. Hearing this, he immediately began to consolidate the “Lin” character spell again!

Two hours later, Ma Xiaoling finally began to teach Wei Ziqing the hand signs of the Seven-Character True Words!

What they did not know was that while they were working hard to prepare for tonight’s Sanpo Day, a group of residents and Ouyang Jiajia were gathered together in the Jiajia Building.

At this moment, the faces of these residents were full of worry and fear.

“Jiajia, tell us, what should we do? In just a few days, two people have died in our Jiajia Building. How can we keep living here!”

“Exactly, Jiajia, you are the landlord. You have to settle this for us!”

“That’s right, that’s right…”

Ouyang Jiajia had a splitting headache. The Jiajia Building was her lifeblood, and she was the angriest person now that this had happened.

Now, this group of residents surrounded her, demanding that she find a solution. How was she supposed to think of one?

Jin Ma’s face was originally full of worry because Jin Zhengzhong had disappeared last night and had not been found yet.

But as soon as she heard the residents speaking like this, she immediately knew that money was coming. She quickly spoke up:

“Everyone, don’t worry, don’t worry. I’ll tell you, my Zhengzhong actually guessed this. He said the Jiajia Building recently had the Five Yellows entering the door, which brings disaster and bloodshed!”

“Zhengzhong? The Xuanwu Boy?”

Hearing this, everyone’s gaze immediately turned to Jin Ma, as if they had found a saving straw.

“Yes, Zhengzhong is the Xuanwu Boy. With him here, what is there to fear?”

“That’s right, Jin Ma. How about this: you go back and discuss it with your Zhengzhong. Each of our families will contribute some money, and you ask the Xuanwu Boy to perform a ritual for our Jiajia Building, and while he’s at it, perform a requiem for Pipi and Xiaoqian. After all, they were people of our building too!”

Ouyang Jiajia’s eyes lit up, and she joined in: “Yes, Jin Ma, I’ll leave this to you. Go back and calculate how much money is needed; I will make up for any shortage!”

“Good, your word is enough. I will set up the altar and perform the ritual tonight!” Hearing the landlord say this, Jin Ma’s face showed joy, and she immediately agreed.

However, she was secretly calculating in her heart. Paper offerings, incense, and candles would cost a few hundred yuan. How much should she charge them to make it profitable?

Thirty thousand? Or fifty thousand?

…

Kuang Tianyou and He Yingqiu sat in the video game shop. Although they were chatting, their gazes occasionally drifted toward the room where Ma Xiaoling was recovering.

As for Wang Zhenzhen, she had returned to the Jiajia Building after finishing work and would arrive later.

The resentment, grievance, and evil energy of the Sanpo Day would be most concentrated tonight at eight o’clock. Now, there was less than an hour left until that time!

No wonder Kuang Tianyou and He Yingqiu were becoming anxious.

“Uncle Qiu, this won’t work. I don’t think there’s enough time. Why don’t you take action?” Kuang Tianyou said in a deep voice. He was a zombie, and while he had his strengths, he was not good at catching ghosts!

He Yingqiu felt conflicted. He had sworn not to perform exorcisms anymore. Now, at this moment, did he really have to take action?

Although he could see that Wei Ziqing’s talent was very good, letting him learn the power of the Exorcist Dragon Clan from Ma Xiaoling in just one day and one night was truly a pipe dream!

Just as Uncle Qiu was struggling with whether to break his oath, the door suddenly opened with a creak.

Ma Xiaoling walked out with a pale face, and behind her was a steady and calm Wei Ziqing.

“Miss Ma, Ziqing, are you finished?” Kuang Tianyou said quickly upon seeing them come out.

He Yingqiu walked directly to Wei Ziqing’s side and looked him up and down. Then, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, even trembling slightly: “Xiaoling, he…”

Ma Xiaoling curled her lip, her face full of jealousy: “What about him? The matter is settled, that’s it!”

“Then the Dragon-Driving Art of your Ma Family…”

“Enough, enough, Uncle Qiu! Stop asking. Hurry up, throw him a peach wood sword and let them leave quickly!” Ma Xiaoling was depressed. Why did Uncle Qiu have to ask about these things!

Wasn’t this like rubbing salt into her wound?

Six whole months! It took her six months to finish what this person learned in one night!

More importantly, she had exhausted every effort to bond with the Divine Dragon, but he had it easy. After learning the Seven-Character True Words hand signs, he succeeded after just a few tries!

How could she not be jealous?

Uncle Qiu was slightly stunned. Not only him, but even Kuang Tianyou was stunned. Had Ma Xiaoling eaten gunpowder today? Why had her temper become so bad?

Wei Ziqing, standing behind her, felt his mouth twitching, and his face was full of helplessness.

Back in the room, when Ma Xiaoling saw him communicate with the Divine Dragon in just a few tries, her expression had turned sour. What was the word to describe it? Tsundere? No, it should be that she was depressed!

“Sigh, my fault for having great talent?” Wei Ziqing sighed softly, feeling very helpless in his heart!
