Chapter 777 Five Ghosts Assemble

Shaohua waved his hand and called out to Liu Bao who was standing afar."Everything’s fine now. Everyone, please sit down and continue eating!"When people heard Liu Bao's words and saw that Meng Xiaow...Chapter 777: Gathering of the Five Ghosts

After seeing Xiao Yu's appearance, all the elder grandfathers showed looks of disappointment. After a while, these elders raised their heads. Elder Grandfather Song sighed and said, "It might be that Big Brother has something urgent to attend to! Otherwise, he wouldn't have hastily left behind this place of inheritance and disappeared!"

Upon hearing this, the other elder grandfathers also nodded. Although they did so, the disappointment on their faces didn’t disappear.

"Elders, seal off this place completely after we leave," Xiao Yu said upon seeing how these elders looked.

"Uh, can't it be left behind" These elder grandfathers were stunned for a moment and asked when they heard what Xiao Yu had to say.

Xiao Yu shook his head in response. "Actually, this place is an ominous site, but it was sealed off by that elder grandfather with an array formation. If anyone carelessly breaks through the formation here, the entire capital will be plunged into a crisis!"

Xiao Yu wasn’t exaggerating; if someone really did break through the barrier and opened up one of the nodes of Nine Yin Gathering Evil Grounds, then all of Jing City would become a domain of ghosts. Although this probability was low, it wasn't impossible.

In reality, no one had ever done such a thing since ancient times because even if they found Nine Yin Gathering Evil Grounds, locating the nodes in them wouldn’t be easy; and even finding these nodes wouldn’t necessarily mean that they could successfully channel out the evil yin energy. Now that this was already completed by Blood Flame Immortal, all it would take is to break through his array formation on that stone chamber for the evil yin energy here to leak through channels and create a disaster in Jing City.

"Mm! Alright, we'll seal off this place once we leave!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, these elder grandfathers were startled and immediately agreed.

With that said, they got up and left.

After leaving here, Xiao Yu told the elder grandfathers he was going home. He still needed to digest what he had gained today. As for sealing off this place, Xiao Yu didn’t ask about it; he trusted these elder grandfathers to take care of it properly.

As for Xiao Yu returning, the elders didn't stop him either. As long as he did not affect the grand opening ceremonies of those major sects, it was fine. After all, Xiao Yu was now not only a member of the Blood Flame Brigade but also a pillar of these cultivation families.

After Xiao Yu went back home, he rested for one day and then set off towards the deep sea with Yun Xi. The Ten Thousand Lives Hall in the deep sea was still the foundation of his Xiao family. Although he knew that everything was fine at the Ten Thousand Lives Hall, he still wanted to check on it himself.

When they arrived at the Ten Thousand Lives Hall, it was already evening. Everything here seemed normal; there were still quite a few patients. Old Dai and Xiao Hongyang were busy inside, even Dai Yuxin was running around preparing medicine. With the foundation laid by Old Dai back then, Dai Yuxin could handle these medicinal herbs with ease.

Nowadays, many places in the deep sea were talking about the Ten Thousand Lives Hall, mentioning that they had a senior and a middle-aged divine doctor here who basically diagnosed all illnesses upon taking someone's pulse. Even past injuries would be accurately identified without any errors. Therefore, there were always many patients coming to seek treatment every day.

"Teacher, you're here... Mother-in-law..." As soon as Xiao Yu and the others entered the Ten Thousand Lives Hall, Dai Yuxin spotted them and called out. After calling their names, Dai Yuxin held onto Yun Xi's arm. She didn't know why, but she got along very well with Yun Xi. Xiao Yu guessed that it might be because both of them were cultivators and women—women in the cultivation world were rare. Therefore, they naturally felt close to each other, often discussing topics related to cultivation.

"Mm." Xiao Yu nodded at Dai Yuxin before sitting down on his seat, while Yun Xi and Dai Yuxin walked over to a nearby stool to chat.

There were still quite a few patients left. So after a quick clean-up, Xiao Yu sat in front of the consultation table ready to treat some patients.

But he waited for a long time and no one came to see him for treatment. All these patients had come from afar to seek treatment from Old Dai and Xiao Hongyang; they naturally wouldn't go to a young man, so they chose to wait in line instead.

Unable to do anything else, Xiao Yu could only sit there waiting.

However, until the end, no one came to see Xiao Yu for treatment. But Xiao Yu didn't mind this at all; he knew that he couldn't stay here for long anyway, so he didn't care much about it. Besides, regardless of anything else, Xiao Hongyang was still a disciple of his Xiao family.

After they finished treating the patients, Xiao Yu asked them to close early and took everyone from the clinic out for a big meal that night. Although Old Dai didn't really mind this, Erxi, Yuan Chao, and the two girls valued it very much.

After dinner, Xiao Yu took Yun Xi and Dai Yuxin back to the villa. During his absence, she had been living in the villa all along, as this place was very beneficial for her cultivation since it was a site where three Yin energies converged. Moreover, there were also Earth Ghost and Water Ghost guiding her cultivation.

Occasionally, Xiao Yu felt that he wasn't up to par as her master because the time he spent teaching Dai Yuxin was less than the time she spent learning from Earth Ghost and Water Ghost. However, it was good that Dai Yuxin's progress in cultivation wasn't slow. After just a month of not seeing each other, her cultivation had already reached the peak of the Qi Condensation Stage, and she would soon reach the Middle Phase.

Although Dai Yuxin had only been cultivating for several months, it made sense considering that others struggled with insufficient Heavenly Earth Primordial Energy. However, she was cultivating Yin energy instead, and her meridians were filled with solidified Yin energy. As long as she refined a little of it, her strength would see a qualitative leap.

The moment Xiao Yu and the others entered their home, a large bird resembling a rooster with wings spread to over five feet flew towards them.

Seeing this large bird flying over, Xiao Yu's face revealed a hint of a smile. This was that little golden eagle. Under his care, this golden eagle grew extremely fast, at least twice as quickly as other golden eagles. Furthermore, he often used the righteous energy to help it with its meridian circulation, making its body very robust. As soon as the eagle flew close to Xiao Yu, he immediately stretched out an arm and let the eagle land steadily on his bicep.

"Goo goo..." The golden eagle chirped joyfully after landing on Xiao Yu's bicep before rubbing its head against his face.

As they walked into the house with Yun Xi and Dai Yuxin, Xiao Yu sent a thread of golden light from his hand into the golden eagle's body.

With the golden light entering the golden eagle's body, it gradually closed its eyes.

Soon after, as they reached the entrance to the villa, he retracted the golden light and threw the eagle forward. The golden eagle immediately flew into a wooden house in the courtyard of the villa.

This wooden house was built by Xiao Yu for the golden eagle, and he had instructed several ghost soldiers to keep an eye on it from time to time. After all, there were many households with guns in this villa community, so if someone killed the golden eagle, that would be a problem. Therefore, Xiao Yu had taken precautions for the protection of this golden eagle and intended to find a more suitable place for it once he had the time.

In the evening, Xiao Yu did not let Dai Yuxin cultivate but went alone to the underground crypt below the villa.

"Grandmaster Sky Official......"

"Grandmaster Sky Official........." As Xiao Yu just stepped into the basement, the earth ghost and water ghost flew out of the Gathering Yin Umbrella, respectfully saluting him.

"Earth Ghost, Water Ghost, look at what I brought!" Seeing the two ghosts, a hint of joy appeared on Xiao Yu's face. After saying that, he flipped his hand, and three stones suddenly appeared in his palm.

The moment Xiao Yu took out the stones, the two floating ghosts trembled all over their bodies. At first, Xiao Yu couldn't recognize these stones, but they were different. The Five Ghosts could be considered to have been born from the same root, and after living together for more than a thousand years, they naturally knew each other's energy very well.

Therefore, when Xiao Yu took out these stones, they sensed the aura of the other three ghosts inside them.

"Little Gold... Little Fire... Little Wood..." Seeing the stones, the earth ghost and water ghost quickly flew to Xiao Yu’s side, calling out to the stones.

"Earth Ghost, Water Ghost Why are you here" Upon hearing their calls, a slight tremor suddenly came from the three silent stones, followed by faint voices emerging from them.

It turned out that during the great calamity of heaven and earth, these three ghosts nearly lost their souls. As they were awaiting death, five stones suddenly fell from the sky right in front of them. These stones were actually the Five Elements Stones. After some great master had fallen, these stones ended up here, but this was quite common back then as countless cultivators fell during the calamity and many used their best resources to fight it, including setting up an array with these five elements stones. However, in the end, this great master turned to ashes along with his Five Elements Array when facing the calamity, leaving the stones here.

Seeing the Five Elements Stones, the three ghosts who were on the brink of death immediately hid inside them.

The moment they hid in the stones, a low-level cultivator passing by felt the fluctuations of magic and picked up these Three Five Elements Stones. The other two stones hadn’t been occupied yet, so he couldn't sense their energy fluctuation. Besides, in his hurry to escape, he naturally didn't pay much attention. He was only able to see the three stones because the ghosts had just entered them, leaving a slight energy trail.

This cultivator, due to his low cultivation level, wasn't heavily affected by the great calamity of heaven and earth, so despite sustaining serious injuries in the end, he managed to flee back into the mortal world.r you!"Song Hushan pointed at a fifty-something-year-old middle-aged man in a Tang suit and told Xiao Yu."Doctor Xiao, hello. My surname is Zang; you may call me Old Zang," the fifty-something-year-ol...
