Chapter 778: Condensing the Ghostly Form

Hearing the three ghosts' account, even the Earth and Water Ghosts sighed. Apart from the Earth Ghost, they all shared similar experiences. However, surviving through the great calamity of heaven and earth bestowed upon them an immense amount of fortune.

"Little Earth, Little Water, how have you been these years How is Grandmaster Daoist Priest"

"That's right, that's right! Little Earth, Little Water, why are you here Is Grandmaster Daoist Priest alright..." After the three ghosts finished their story, a voice emerged from the Five Elements Fire Stones. Upon hearing what the Fire Ghost said, the other two ghosts also began to ask questions.

"Um..." Hearing the words of the Fire Ghost, both Earth and Water Ghosts were momentarily stunned and glanced at Xiao Yu. They thought that Xiao Yu had already acknowledged his relationship with these three ghosts, but apparently not.

"Grandmaster Daoist Priest perished during the great calamity of heaven and earth, but his legacy has been passed down. The person who brought you here is his successor, the new generation of Grandmaster Daoist Priest, our new master. Don't you know"

When they heard these ghosts' questions, Earth and Water Ghosts revealed a hint of gloom on their faces but gradually became excited as they spoke. In their eyes, Xiao Yu was another Zhong Kui; once he had merged with the true spirit of Zhong Kui, it was already destined that in their eyes, Xiao Yu would be seen as an incarnation of Zhong Kui.

Upon hearing what Earth and Water Ghosts said, there was a sudden fluctuation among the Three Elements Stones. Back then, they all believed that Zhong Kui had perished under the great calamity of heaven and earth, but did not expect his true spirit to have remained behind. How could they not be excited upon hearing this news

"Grandmaster Daoist Priest! Grandmaster Daoist Priest..." Once the three ghosts regained their composure, several voices emerged from the stones and addressed Xiao Yu.

"Haha, you don't need to be so formal. I fulfilled my promise by finding all of you!" Hearing their words, Xiao Yu chuckled softly.

Earth Ghost and Water Ghost had always hoped to find these three ghosts, while Xiao Yu had agreed to help them in their search. Now that they have been found, Xiao Yu could finally put this matter behind him.

"We respectfully request Grandmaster Daoist Priest to assist Little Fire and the others in restoring their ghostly bodies!" This outburst of emotion from the three ghosts revealed their vulnerability. The fluctuations in energy strength indicated a certain depletion of their original essence while they were within these Five Elements Stones. Earth Ghost and Water Ghost naturally noticed this, so they quickly knelt before Xiao Yu and pleaded.

"Haha, you may rise! I brought them here to help them recondense their ghostly bodies!" Upon hearing what the Earth and Water Ghosts said, Xiao Yu chuckled softly.

As his cultivation level increased, it became easier for him to help them recondense their ghostly bodies. Tonight, he didn't let Dai Yuxin come down because he wanted to assist these three Five Elements Ghosts in recondensing their bodies.

"You three, prepare yourselves and embrace the origin one!" Xiao Yu wasted no time; after placing the three pieces of Five Elements Stone beside the Umbrella Gathering Yin, he addressed the three little ghosts.

After saying this, both his hands began to draw intricate talismans in mid-air. As Xiao Yu's hands moved, the violent yin煞qi within the underground tomb room surged like a dragon, following Xiao Yu's gestures as it flowed into the Umbrella Gathering Yin. After undergoing transformation by the Umbrella Gathering Yin, a pure yin qi gushed out and enveloped those three pieces of Five Elements Stone.

As the yin qi around the Five Elements Stones became denser, three streams of black qi started emanating from them.

"Condense!!"

The moment Xiao Yu saw these three streams of black qi emerging from the Five Elements Stones, he shouted loudly.

Following his shout, all the pure yin qi enveloping the Five Elements Stones surged into those few streams of black qi. With each portion of yin qi that fused with the black qi, it grew slightly in size; very soon, they took on human forms. As massive amounts of pure yin qi generated and integrated, these three black shadows gradually solidified from mist.

"Disperse!!"

Only after those three black shadows fully condensed did Xiao Yu softly command, causing the surrounding yin煞qi to cease gathering into the Umbrella Gathering Yin. Once the ghostly figures were completely condensed, the Umbrella Gathering Yin returned to normal and stopped emitting yin煞qi and primordial qi.

The origins of the Five Ghosts were linked to those of the Umbrella Gathering Yin; only through it could they properly condense their ghostly bodies. Actually, these ghosts wouldn't be harmed themselves—their weakness was due to the severe loss of their primordial yin qi. Now that their ghostly forms have been recondensed and with the Umbrella Gathering Yin at hand, their powers would slowly recover.

Although the Umbrella Gathering Yin was gradually being repaired now, it would take a long time before it was completely restored.

"Thank you Grandmaster Celestial Official!" After the Five Ghosts' bodies were recondensed, they all knelt on the ground and paid their respects to Xiao Yu in a grand manner.

"Haha, that's enough. Get up! No need to kneel every time," said Xiao Yu with a light laugh upon seeing them. After a moment of contemplation, he continued: "You five haven't seen each other for hundreds of years; return to the Umbrella Gathering Yin now and earnestly cultivate!"

"Yes, Grandmaster Celestial!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, the Five Ghosts immediately responded.

"Grandmaster Celestial, we have just recovered and need to rest for a few days. Please come back here by yourself in five days!" After the Five Ghosts stood up, they looked at each other, and Fire Ghost bowed to Xiao Yu and said this.

"Alright!" Hearing what the Five Ghosts had to say, Xiao Yu nodded his head in response, and instantly, the Five Ghosts turned into five wisps of black smoke that entered the Umbrella Gathering Yin.

Seeing the Five Ghosts return, Xiao Yu left the underground crypt. Now that he had reunited with the Five Ghosts, one thing off his mind, he felt relieved.

The next day, they returned to Wan Sheng Hall again. Today there were still quite a number of old patients coming for checkups. The elders in this neighborhood would come to Wan Sheng Hall every few days to consult the doctors here and get their pulses taken; after all, it didn't cost them anything, plus it allowed any illness to be detected early.

The moment these elders saw Xiao Yu upon entering, they rushed forward to queue up in front of him. They were well aware who was the most skilled among the doctors here and knew that Doctor Xiao Hongyang was this young man's disciple. That’s why when they spotted Xiao Yu here today, they swarmed over to get into line.

Xiao Yu saw that these people were all elders who frequently came for checkups; there wasn't much going on with them, merely minor illnesses which could be treated with one or two doses of medicine. That’s why he examined them very quickly.

"Your body is weak. I'll prescribe some tonic for you to take." When Xiao Yu had no patients at his station, Doctor Xiao Hongyang spoke up and addressed a patient.

"Doctor, I've already taken many tonics. Not to mention ginseng, but also turtle soup, yet there's been no improvement in十多天了啊!" Hearing what Xiao Hongyang said, the patient’s family member responded.

"Oh, let me take your pulse."

This patient had come here due to his reputation. For over half a month now, he had felt weak and achy all over. He had consulted many doctors but none of them managed to help him improve in the least; they had only heard about this Wan Sheng Hall and its two miracle doctors from one of their relatives, so out of desperation, they came here.

At these words, he extended his hand again towards the pulse pillow in front of Xiao Hongyang for another examination. Xiao Hongyang reached forward to take his pulse.

Now that there were no patients at Xiao Yu's station, upon hearing this person’s voice, Xiao Yu turned to look over and frowned slightly when he saw him.

This patient is a middle-aged man in his forties. At this moment, the man appears pale and lethargic, with no sparkle in his eyes. After just one glance at him, Xiao Yu realized what was going on; it wasn't mere weakness but rather an excessive depletion of Yang energy. No wonder the tonics weren’t helping.

Such severe depletion of Yang energy usually happens to those at the brink of death or when their Yang energy is siphoned off by spirits. However, there’s no trace of Yin energy on this man now, suggesting that it wasn’t recently lost. Moreover, he doesn't seem to suffer from any other ailments—a diagnosis Xiao Hongyang was reliable for.

After taking the patient's pulse, Xiao Hongyang closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

"Hongyang, bring this patient over; I want to take a look. There’s something strange about his illness!" Once he made up his mind, Xiao Yu didn’t hesitate but called out to Xiao Hongyang who was lost in thoughts.

"Yes, Master!

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, the contemplative Xiao Hongyang opened his eyes and quickly responded. He hadn't been able to fathom the depth of Xiao Yu’s medical skills ever since he joined Wan Sheng Hall; only that no illness had stumped him.

The patient, full of bewilderment, was brought by family members to Xiao Yu's table. They had already seen Xiao Yu when they arrived but didn't approach because of his young appearance—little did they know this youth was the renowned middle-aged doctor’s master.

"Surely a Master is better than their apprentice!" Both of them approached Xiao Yu with such thoughts in mind.

"Where have you been before falling ill" After taking the pulse, Xiao Yu asked the middle-aged man.

"Been anywhere specific" Hearing Xiao Yu’s question, the patient murmured to himself and then fell into thought. A while later he said, "Before getting sick, I went to Central South Province; everything was fine there, but after returning, suddenly I felt completely drained of energy—so much so that walking became a burden!"

"Are you saying things were okay in Central South Province, but after your return, it all changed" Xiao Yu asked again after hearing his explanation.

"Hmm..." The patient thought for a moment and replied, "To be precise, I was fine until I got on the bus. During lunchtime on the bus, I still felt energetic; however, afterward, everything went downhill! Could it be that my meal caused this"

"It’s not about the food!" Shaking his head at the patient's question, Xiao Yu knew for sure that wasn't the issue—leaving only one explanation: encountering a spirit while dining.ou’re worrying too much! No problem at all; I like Master Qin's character because he speaks his mind."Xiao Yu chuckled and said this. He indeed liked people who were straightforward, didn’t hold grudg...
