tched coldly."Brother-in-law, sister, Yunxi, go wait in the car first. Don't worry; nothing will happen!" After handing Lu Jianhong the car keys, Xiao Yu said to them.“Xiao Yu, let's leave together! I...Chapter 187: Invoking Spirits Is Easy, But Sending Them Away Proves Difficult

Jin Xianglin sat down on a chair and looked at Xiao Yu's pharmacy, asking, "Doctor Xiao, when will your clinic open"

The moment he entered the door, he saw the red cloth hanging on the signboard in front of Xiao Yu’s door. Upon observing the complete facilities inside the room, he knew that Xiao Yu was nearing the opening day.

"Hehe, it's coming soon! On the 16th day of this lunar month!" Seeing Jin Xianglin looking around the room, Xiao Yu also glanced back and said with a light laugh.

For now, he was quite satisfied with how his clinic looked. Although it was small, he had just started out, and as long as he could put up the sign for Wan Sheng Tang, that would be enough.

"The 16th day of this lunar month That's not far off! Just a few days away!" Jin Xianglin calculated and realized that Xiao Yu’s clinic was just a few days away from opening.

"Doctor Xiao, do you have any requirements for the guests on your opening day" Jin Xianglin glanced at Xiao Yu cautiously and asked.

Deep down in his heart, he had great respect for Xiao Yu. Therefore, when talking with him, he was extremely careful to avoid accidentally saying something wrong or doing something that might anger Xiao Yu.

If people familiar with Jin Xianglin saw him like this, they would definitely be astonished. Jin Xianglin was famous in the business world for his decisiveness and ruthlessness; otherwise, how could he have built such a vast empire and thrived so successfully in America's ruthless environment

Jin Xianglin had always shown arrogance and superiority, but only when facing Xiao Yu did he constantly show respect. After all, someone like Xiao Yu would not care about money no matter how much you had. Making him go bankrupt or die was also not difficult.

"There are no particular requirements. It's just a few close friends to make some noise and that’s it!" Seeing the reverence in Jin Xianglin's eyes, Xiao Yu helplessly shook his head and said.

Xiao Yu's path as a Heavenly Master was lonely. After all, who would want to get too close to someone capable of taking their life or making them go bankrupt at any time

Wei Jun, Zhuo Simiao, and Zhang Dahuai didn't know about his identity as a Heavenly Master yet. If they found out, who knew whether they would start to distance themselves from him

"Alright then! I'll come on the opening day! I won’t disturb you today, Doctor Xiao!" Jin Xianglin heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that there were no particular requirements and quickly said goodbye.

“Mr. Jin, you're too polite! Don't worry about disturbing me!” Hearing what Jin Xianglin said, Xiao Yu hurriedly replied.

Xiao Yu took Jin Xianglin to the clinic entrance and returned only after seeing him get into a car.

"Erxing, I'm going to take a rest. You can leave on your own when it's time!" After sending off Jin Xianglin, Xiao Yu instructed Wang Erxing and then walked into the resting room.

Although he felt better after a night’s sleep, his head still felt heavy and dull, and he lacked energy overall.

Xiao Yu came to the resting room and took out an jade box from his medical case. He opened it and took out a piece of wild ginseng. Without combining it with other herbs to brew, he chewed on it several times before swallowing it directly.

After eating the wild ginseng, Xiao Yu crossed his legs and sat in meditation, practicing the Righteous Qi Decree for recovery.

"Knock-knock... knock-knock..."

Xiao Yu was sitting cross-legged meditating when he was suddenly awakened by a series of urgent knocks from outside.

He got out of bed and put on his clothes. Through the window, Xiao Yu found that it was already late at night. Checking his watch, he saw it was past one in the morning. He thought to himself, Who could this be in the middle of the night

Xiao Yu came outside; the knocking sound continued from the front door. Turning on the clinic lights, he said to門外的人: "Who is it What’s going on at this hour"

門外的人並冇有回答Xiao Yu的話，而是好像在跟什麼人聊天一樣。"門外確實有人，我說裡麵燈亮著，肯定有人吧！"

Xiao Yu walked to the door and opened it. Standing outside were a boy and a girl. The girl was Wang Fang, whom Xiao Yu had seen at breakfast time, while he didn't recognize the boy. It seemed that they were classmates.

"What's going on" asked Xiao Yu as he looked at them after opening the door.

"Brother, hello brother! Xiaoxiao and others played with Ouija board again, something seems to have happened!" said the girl in a hurry upon seeing Xiao Yu. She then anxiously stared at him.

"I'm just a doctor; if there's an illness I can treat, but for this kind of spiritual game mishap, there’s not much I can do." Upon hearing what had happened, Xiao Yu knew immediately and replied casually.

I've warned her twice already, yet they still insist on playing. Now something has gone wrong, and the soul was summoned by them themselves. It's the hardest type of spirit to send away.

In particular, I don't want to reveal my identity as a Celestial Master. In places like schools, information spreads the fastest; if I help them get rid of this spirit now, it won’t be long before everyone believes that I’m a fraud and that I have no real powers. This could turn my clinic into something else entirely.

Moreover, the spirits summoned through such games are usually quite weak, so they rarely cause serious problems; generally, by dawn when the sun rises, these spirits will disappear on their own.

This can be seen as a form of punishment for playing with such spirit-summoning games. After this incident, I don't think they'll ever play these games again, or else something far worse could happen in the future.

"I told you so! If only you’d listened to me and gone to find Aunt Wang in East City; she’s known for exorcising evil spirits. But no, you insisted on coming here to a clinic where such things wouldn’t be available! You’ve wasted your time!"

The boy who came with Wang Fang retorted angrily when he heard Xiao Yu's words.

After Xiao Yu left after breakfast that day, even though they had called him a big liar, Wang Fang didn't think so. Although she had only met him twice, she felt in her heart that Xiao Yu was extraordinary. So before leaving, she asked the breakfast stall owner for his address.

At midnight when it struck 12, Xiaoxiao and the rest of their dormitory once again played the Ouija board game, but something unexpected happened: the four of them became hysterical, crying and shouting while dancing around the room incoherently and screaming.

No matter how others called out to them, they were like deaf as if nothing was being said, each doing their own thing.

In desperation, Wang Fang called Xiaoxiao's boyfriend. He had heard about the game but, since he grew up in a city and didn't believe such things, he hadn’t stopped her from playing. As long as they were happy, that was all that mattered to him.

Only when Wang Fang called did he realize something went wrong; however, being a man, he remained calm unlike Wang Fang who was in a panic.

His mother had mentioned before that there was an elderly woman in East City known for her spiritual abilities and who could cure illnesses and ward off misfortune. At the time, he dismissed it as superstition; seeing how distressed Wang Fang looked now, however, reminded him of his mother's words.

When mentioning this to Wang Fang, she thought about mysterious Xiao Yu. During their breakfast together, Xiao Yu had warned them against such games, and so they came straight here after leaving school.

Hearing what Xiao Yu said now made Wang Fang feel somewhat disappointed; she looked at him wanting to say something but ultimately held her tongue before the male student dragged her away.

Xiao Yu watched as the two walked off, shaking his head helplessly. It wasn't that he wanted to stand idly by and do nothing, but if they had summoned these spirits through such practices, only they could send them back unless the spirit caused serious trouble.

This is what ancient people meant when they said it's easy to invite spirits but hard to dismiss them! When so-called spiritual masters of old invited deities in reality, this was also a form of mediumship. They didn't summon actual gods, just more powerful spirits; after inviting these spirits, the cost to dismiss them could be quite high.

The northern regions today still have some spirit mediums who use traditional methods to invoke deities. After such rituals, these people often speak incoherently or eat excessively, and sometimes run around wildly—this is just the spirits' form of payment.

In northern rural areas, during temple fairs, elderly women may perform a fan dance as part of a spirit-invoking ritual. When they claim that a deity has descended and start running wildly in the venue, it means they have successfully invoked a spirit.

Invoking spirits is essentially summoning souls; deities do not concern themselves with trivial matters like these. Furthermore, how could an ordinary person actually invoke a deity Additionally, after the great calamity that shook heaven and earth, whether or not deities still exist is unknown to Xiao Yu.

The spirit writing game, which claims to involve immortals, is actually just another form of soul invocation. These are typically weak souls—mostly those of animals or people with weak spirits; otherwise, they wouldn't be easily summoned by a bunch of little girls.

Moreover, such souls generally do not harm anyone but merely scare them. Besides, these souls leave as soon as the day breaks.

In any case, Xiao Yu currently lacks the energy to deal with such matters. He had already warned them twice, yet they insisted on continuing. If he doesn't make them afraid now, they'll likely continue with such activities next time.

Xiao Yu closed his clinic and went back to lie down instead of meditating; he fell into a deep sleep, understanding that one should not overdo things.

The sound of the phone ringing woke Xiao Yu from his slumber. He mumbled as he answered: "Hello Who is it Calling so early"

"Xiao Yu, why are you still sleeping It's already noon!" asked Xia Jianying over the phone.

What No way! Hearing his mother’s voice, Xiao Yu instantly woke up and sat bolt upright.

"Mom, where are you now I'll come to pick you up!" After sitting up and checking the time on his mobile phone, he saw that it was nearly eleven in the morning. He hurriedly said this to his mother.

“It will take us about an hour to reach Shendu station,” Xia Jianying replied.

The previous night when they arrived, Xiao Yu's mother had tried calling him all evening but couldn't get through; it always showed out of service.

"Alright, mom! I'll head over right now!" After agreeing with his mother, he quickly got up and dressed.has been non-existent.
