with a dark red hue that looked ancient yet luxurious.The moment he stepped into the quadrangle courtyard, an aura of antiquity enveloped him. Xiao Yu and Song Hushan began to explore their surroundi...Chapter 455: Opening the Third Eye (Part 1)

At this moment, Dai Yuxin saw Xiao Yu sitting不遠處的地方。雖然這裡仍然感覺詭異無比，並且也不知道Xiao Yu對她是否有敵意，但是畢竟除了她之外，這裡還有個活生生的人在場，所以她漸漸地安定下來。

After Dai Yuxin finished kneeling and paying her respects, instead of asking her to stand up, Xiao Yu continued with his words: "Yuxin, your constitution is special. You must already know that there's no cure for this illness!"

Hearing Xiao Yu talk about her condition, Dai Yuxin quickly turned her ears attentively towards him. As Xiao Yu said that the illness couldn't be cured, her heart slowly sank.

After finishing his words, Xiao Yu thought for a moment and continued: "However, with your constitution, you can only be saved by practicing certain skills. That's also why I want to take you on as my disciple. Because these kinds of skills are secrets that aren't passed down easily; hence, before you agree to become my disciple, even talking about them isn’t allowed!"

"Moreover, in the current world, those who practice such arts have all hidden themselves among ordinary people and don't reveal themselves publicly. Therefore, these matters need to be kept secret as well—when one doesn't have sufficient self-protection power, they can even not tell their own family members, otherwise it would harm them!"

"Master, are the skills you want to teach me also like this Are they similar to the martial arts that actors in TV shows perform" Dai Yuxin knelt before Xiao Yu and asked curiously upon hearing his words.

The matter mentioned by Xiao Yu earlier was already beyond her comprehension. When she heard what he said, it seemed as if her mind had entered a magical world—suddenly she thought of the TV shows where people ran along walls and rooftops, instantly filling her with curiosity about the skills that Xiao Yu talked about.

"Haha!" Upon hearing Dai Yuxin's words, Xiao Yu chuckled lightly before nodding his head and continued: "Although not entirely like that, it’s pretty similar."

While kneeling on the ground, Dai Yuxin listened to Xiao Yu without interrupting. She knew that he hadn't finished speaking yet, so she waited quietly for him to continue.

"We can be considered as belonging to no school or sect, but my lineage is from Zhong Kui's line. However, your body isn’t suitable for practicing the skills of Zhong Kui’s line. What I will teach you is a set of skills that Zhong Kui obtained early in his life. This particular skill aligns very well with your constitution, so it’ll definitely make your practice more efficient!"

Xiao Yu looked at Dai Yuxin, who was kneeling on the ground, and said.

"Zhong Kui Master, is it that ghost-capturing Celestial Master Zhong Kui Does this mean I'll also be catching ghosts in the future" After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Dai Yuxin froze for a moment before exclaiming to herself. She then looked at Xiao Yu with astonishment.

"That's right, it is the Celestial Master Zhong Kui. And what your master teaches you differs from secular martial arts; it’s about cultivation methods. Due to your physical constitution, if you start practicing, yin energy within your body will dissipate. Although only a little, this can still cause harm to ordinary people. This is why I haven't let you meet your family."

"If you were to see your family now, the dissipated yin energy could potentially harm their health. Only after completely refining and mastering the yin qi in your body will it be safe!"

Xiao Yu explained this carefully to Dai Yuxin, fearing she wouldn’t understand. He elaborated meticulously.

After hearing Xiao Yu's explanation, Dai Yuxin’s initially uneasy heart gradually calmed down. She had wondered why Xiao Yu didn't allow her to see her family but could not figure out the reason, thinking he must have some hidden agenda. If she hadn’t felt that Xiao Yu wasn't a bad person on the train, she might have refused to become his disciple.

She was already sixteen or seventeen years old and knew what needed knowing. Since she had never gone to school nor interacted with peers of her age, and her grandfather’s conservative mindset influenced her greatly, she naturally harbored suspicion towards Xiao Yu, even contemplating suicide if he made any inappropriate moves.

However, after hearing his explanation now, her heart gradually calmed down. She understood why Xiao Yu had such peculiar requirements. Therefore, she was now looking at him with a curious expression.

"Master, are there really ghosts in this world I thought that spirits and gods were just superstitions! If there are indeed ghosts, what do they look like Would they be scary" Upon hearing Xiao Yu say their lineage came from Zhong Kui, Dai Yuxin felt a surge of excitement rather than fear. She eagerly asked him.

Seeing the excited expression on Dai Yuxin's face, Xiao Yu showed an expression of surprise. He hadn't expected her to show no signs of fear when hearing about ghosts and spirits, which seemed out of place.

Although it was common for girls her age to be curious, that was usually without any knowledge about the subject. But now knowing there were indeed such things as ghosts, she still showed this excitement. Xiao Yu couldn’t help but look at her with new respect.

The young girls who once played with Ouija boards, didn't they do so just out of curiosity But when they found out that there are indeed strange and inexplicable phenomena in the world, their attitudes changed.

Xiao Yu looked at Dai Yuxin's slightly excited face and a hint of smile appeared on his lips. He said, "In this world, ghosts come in many types. Many spirits are just like what you see on TV - headless, limbless, disfigured... So, be prepared!"

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Dai Yuxin didn't show any fear but instead displayed a look of yearning and said, "I really want to see what ghosts look like."

Xiao Yu looked at Dai Yuxin with a bitter smile and shook his head. Nowadays kids indeed have no fear because they know nothing. He wondered how she would react if she saw a real ghost. At this thought, Xiao Yu's mind suddenly sparked an idea. "You want to see the appearance of ghosts I'll open your Third Eye for you so that you can witness them firsthand."

Xiao Yu observed Dai Yuxin although she said she wasn't afraid of ghosts and seemed excited after hearing about them, he was unsure how she would react upon actually seeing one.

As his disciple, it was necessary for Dai Yuxin to see ghosts. Otherwise, if she were to be scared by them in the future, that wouldn’t do at all. Moreover, while not being afraid of ghosts is good, there must also be a sense of awe; otherwise, excessive arrogance could easily lead to trouble.

Xiao Yu's hands danced lightly in mid-air, creating one mysterious symbol after another. These symbols shimmered with faint golden light and were compressed into a single complex glyph as Xiao Yu’s hand movements were incredibly fast, leaving mere blurs for ordinary people to perceive.

Aside from Xiao Yu himself, no one could count the number of intricate symbols he drew; however, seeing his serious expression and the beads of sweat on his forehead indicated that this was a strenuous task for him.

Xiao Yu indeed felt the strain as he aimed to open Dai Yuxin's permanent Yin-Yang Eye. This was the first time he had drawn such intricate talismans in mid-air, making the process somewhat arduous.

While she could eventually develop her own Yin-Yang Eyes through cultivation at a certain level, they wouldn't remain open permanently like those Xiao Yu would give her.

Xiao Yu's flying hands suddenly stopped. "Concentrate!" A deep and powerful voice emerged from Xiao Yu’s mouth. Immediately following his utterance, the countless intricate symbols before him instantly began to merge into a single complex glyph.

These symbols continuously devour and fuse, eventually forming a talisman composed of multiple intricate symbols that glimmer with golden light.

"Open!" As Xiao Yu looked at the golden-glowing talisman in front of him, he shouted out loud. With his shout, this symbol, radiating gold光芒, flew towards Dai Yuxin's forehead.

When Xiao Yu was moving his hands, Dai Yuxin carefully observed him, but no matter how she looked, all she saw was Xiao Yu moving his hands; nothing else could be seen. Just as she wondered what Xiao Yu was doing, a deep and forceful voice sounded out. Hearing Xiao Yu's voice, Dai Yuxin suddenly started trembling, though she did not know why.

She tried to stop her body from shaking, but no matter how hard she tried, her body seemed unresponsive to her commands. This tremor felt like it was originating internally and was something other than herself.

Unaware that the source of this tremble was the yin energy within her body, which had naturally responded with a quiver upon sensing the talisman in front of Xiao Yu.

Despite her body trembling and knowing it had to do with Xiao Yu, she saw nothing beyond his moving hands. This made her feel quite puzzled; what could be the reason

When Xiao Yu shouted again, Dai Yuxin's trembling became more intense. Suddenly, a streak of golden light flashed before her eyes, and after this golden light disappeared, Dai Yuxin felt her body stop shaking and return to calm.

"Master, what happened just now And what was that golden light" Feeling her body had returned to normal, Dai Yuxin looked at Xiao Yu with lingering unease in her voice.

He chuckled lightly before answering, "Just now, I opened your Yin-Yang eyes for you!" upon hearing what she said.

Hearing that Xiao Yu had helped open her Yin-Yang eyes, a look of excitement appeared on Dai Yuxin's face as she turned to look around. However, after scanning the surroundings, she didn't notice anything amiss.

"Master, why does it feel like nothing has changed since I opened my Yin-Yang eyes There doesn’t seem to be anything different!" Dai Yuxin said with a complaint toward Xiao Yu for not noticing any changes.w whatever rules they propose,"After seeing that the leaders of each family had returned to their seats, Zhou Tai and Yang Mu looked at Du Ziping who nodded at them before walking towards the center o...
