"Haha, Grandmaster Celestial Official, you don't know It might be the will of heaven! Do you remember those little nine ghosts" After hearing Xiao Yu's words, the two laughed and said.

"Hmm I do remember. Aren't they cultivating and growing inside the Umbrella of Gathering Yin" Xiao Yu asked with a puzzled look on his face after hearing them; he truly didn’t know why these two ghosts were talking about those nine little ghosts.

The two ghosts glanced at each other before starting to explain to Xiao Yu.

It turned out that because Xiao Yu hadn't fused all of Zhong Kui's memories, he was unaware of many things. After the nine little ghosts left their mother, they grew very slowly, even in this place where three yins converged and within the Umbrella of Gathering Yin.

However, there was a method that could accelerate their growth: letting them enter the underworld to absorb its yin qi and refine it. Only then would they be able to grow faster.

Moreover, after entering the underworld and absorbing the underworld's yin qi, although their power wouldn't match that of the genuine Nine Ghosts' Mother, they would be much stronger than if they had merely absorbed煞qi.

The problem was that once inside the underworld, it would be very difficult to come out again. Even if one managed to exit, there would be certain restrictions or rules in place. Anything beyond these boundaries would instantly be pulled back into the underworld.

Therefore, they couldn't let the nine ghosts enter the underworld. Besides, the underworld wasn’t a paradise; Zhong Kui's reputation as a devourer of ghosts spread from there. At that time, a group of evil spirits hid near the Ghost Gate and fed on newly arrived souls.

Until one day, when Zhong Kui discovered them, he used the Soul-Devouring Technique to swallow all those evil spirits. The surviving souls who witnessed him devour dozens of spirits at once were so terrified that they fled in all directions; combined with his fearsome appearance, this led to increasingly exaggerated rumors about him. Eventually, in underworld legends, Zhong Kui became a feared king among ghosts.

Finally, the earth ghost and the others told Xiao Yu that there was actually another way for the nine ghosts to grow rapidly. Furthermore, their strength could be maximized, surpassing even those of genuine Nine Ghosts' Mother.

The reason was that although these nine ghosts had lost their mother, even after growing up, they wouldn't reach one-tenth of the power of complete Nine Ghosts’ Mother. However, with Dai Yuxin added in, it would be different. First, Dai Yuxin’s thick underworld yin qi could make the nine ghosts grow well without having to enter the underworld.

Secondly, Dai Yuxin has the Nine Yin Fatal Pulse condition. If she can be complemented by the Nine Ghosts, her power will increase exponentially. The Nine Yin and the Nine Ghosts can enhance each other's strengths. This combination is even more powerful than when Ghost Mother collaborates with them, mainly because Dai Yuxin’s body type has an innate advantage.

When Xiao Yu heard what Earth Ghost and Water Ghost said, he nodded his head and was about to speak when suddenly a loud buzzing sound resounded in his mind. A large amount of information surged out from the depths of his brain; fortunately, Xiao Yu is not Amon anymore, so he can still handle this influx of data.

As this wave of information flooded into Xiao Yu's mind, he sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.

A while later, Xiao Yu opened his eyes. This memory was about Zhong Kui’s information concerning the Nine Yin Fatal Pulse and Ghost Mother’s collaboration, as well as some scattered memories regarding all sorts of oddities in the cultivation world.

Xiao Yu knew that this piece of information had always been stored deep within his mind; it was only after hearing what those two ghosts said that this memory resurfaced.

After Xiao Yu digested this new information, he silently nodded to himself. Now he understands more about Dai Yuxin’s body type.

"Yuxin, I am going to teach you the Nine Yin Formula; it aligns well with your physical constitution. After you have gone through the first stage of training, I will summon those little ghosts for you. With them by your side, they can be as powerful as a magic tool!"

Xiao Yu said to Dai Yuxin.

After speaking, Xiao Yu began teaching Dai Yuxin the Nine Yin Formula. This formula was found in an ancient site by Zhong Kui; it is a treasure of a female cultivation sect and can be practiced by all women with pure yin constitutions, but those with the Nine Yin Fatal Pulse condition will find it most powerful.

Dai Yuxin had learned acupuncture from her grandfather, so she was familiar with acupoints. This saved Xiao Yu a lot of effort.

However, since Dai Yuxin’s meridians are filled with solid yin energy, it is very difficult for her to cultivate; but Xiao Yu did not rush the process because he had anticipated this outcome long ago. There was no other way but to gradually melt away the yin energy within her body; as she refined her yin energy, her cultivation progress would speed up.

In the morning light, Xiao Yu told Dai Yuxin that she could go upstairs, but he advised her to spend any spare time here cultivating because there wasn't much time left for her.

Xiao Yu instructed Dai Yuxin and then left the basement. From now on, Dai Yuxin had started her cultivation journey; although the yin energy in her body hadn't melted yet, once she began cultivating, some of it would inevitably leak out from her body.

Moreover, since she didn’t have control over this yin energy, those around her frequently contacted by her would be affected. The yin energy from the underworld was incredibly powerful; even a small amount could harm ordinary people.

Hence, Xiao Yu asked Dai Yuxin to stay in the underground chamber unless she needed to eat or wash up. After telling Dai Yuxin this, he went upstairs through the hole. He had plenty of preparations to make on his first day, so he also brought Dai Yuxin along.

Xiao Yu left Dai Yuxin at home and went out shopping extensively, making sure she had everything she needed. In the basement cabinets, he installed a ladder to facilitate her movement up and down.

Before following Xiao Yu upstairs, Dai Yuxin glanced at the ghosts. Though she knew they wouldn’t harm her, she felt uneasy inside, though she didn't show it on the surface.

Mysteriously, even that little white mouse seemed to like Dai Yuxin very much and often burrowed into her arms. After some contemplation, Xiao Yu realized that while he wasn't sure if this Soul-eating Mouse liked Dai Yuxin, it certainly was fond of the yin energy seeping out from her body.

After arranging everything properly, Xiao Yu left home and went to Wan Sheng Hall.

Upon entering Wan Sheng Hall, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. There were no patients at the moment, only two girls chatting idly, while Erxi and Yuan Chao sat behind the medicine cabinets each holding a book intently reading them. Meanwhile, Xiao Hongyang was talking with Dai Lao’s family.

Xiao Yu wondered why they had come here.

"Master! You're here!" When Xiao Yu entered Wan Sheng Hall, Xiao Hongyang hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

Upon hearing Xiao Hongyang's words, the two girls, Erxi, and Yuan Chao turned around to look at the door. Seeing Xiao Yu standing there, they also got up to greet him.

Xiao Yu nodded to them before looking at Dai Lao’s family seated in front of Xiao Hongyang's consultation desk.

After hearing Xiao Hongyang's words, Dài Lǎo and his family also turned to look behind them. When they saw Xiāo Yù, they all quickly stood up.

"Master Xiao, do you still hire doctors for your Ten Thousand Lives Hall" Dài Lǎo got up and asked before Xiāo Yù could speak.

He had no choice. Dài Yuxin was his only granddaughter and the sole heir of the Dài family. Since Dài Yuxin's parents gave birth to her, they haven't had another child despite numerous years passing. They both checked themselves and used Western medicine methods but found nothing wrong with their bodies yet were unable to conceive.

Now, Dài Yuxin was the sole heir of the Dài family. Although some secret prescriptions are passed down from father to son in his family, there was only Dài Yuxin now, so they could only pass them to her.

However, when Dài Yuxin finds a husband in the future, they will definitely help her find one willing to enter into their home. The children should bear the surname Dài; the second child can take the father's surname but the first son must carry the surname Dài to inherit the family.

Now that no one knows if Dài Yuxin is alive or dead, what use would it be for Dài Lǎo to stay at home When dawn broke, he suddenly thought of this idea and decided to apply for a position at Xiāo Yù's Ten Thousand Lives Hall. This way, not only would he be closer to Dài Yuxin but might even get the chance to treat her if given enough time!

Thus, after dawn broke, Dài Lǎo and Dài Bīn discussed it. When Dài Bīn and his wife heard Dài Lǎo's decision, they initially wanted to say something but thought better of it in the end, only sighing softly.

Indeed! With no idea if their only daughter is alive or dead, what use would there be in staying at the Dài family clinic So, reluctantly, they agreed with Dài Lǎo's words.

This was how the family arrived at Ten Thousand Lives Hall. Upon arriving here and finding that Xiāo Yù wasn't present, a slight disappointment filled their hearts along with some worry; they didn't know what had happened to Dài Yuxin or if she was suffering.

When Xiāo Yù heard what Dài Lǎo said, he stared at him. He knew why Dài Lǎo wanted to stay and sit in the clinic here, but he also wanted to keep Dài Lǎo around because of his medical skills and reputation. But if he did so, it would seem somewhat opportunistic.

Therefore, when looking at Dài Lǎo, he was rather conflicted. Ten Thousand Lives Hall indeed needed a doctor who could sit in the clinic; since there were many things on him, if he left and only Xiao Hongyang stayed behind, during peak times, Xiao Hongyang couldn't manage alone.

Xiāo Yù had long wanted to find an expert traditional Chinese medicine practitioner but now good ones are hard to come by. Even newly qualified practitioners are highly sought after; however, these people generally stay with their families or masters and wouldn't casually seek work elsewhere.ucceeded in their attempts.
