My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 53: My Sword Is Swift

Entering the mansion, the vast courtyard and various complete facilities exceeded all of Li Hengsheng’s expectations.

Compared to his days at Wanzai Peak, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Not only was there a place for cultivation, but there were also secret chambers, and even a refining stage.

The herb garden also had some medicinal herbs planted, even a few that were quite valuable.

All of these were gifts from Xu Muhai.

After being satisfied with everything, Li Hengsheng did not request any modifications.

On top of a tower within the mansion, Li Hengsheng and Lord Zhou sat on the second floor enjoying tea; Li Hengsheng had never experienced such a relaxing feeling.

How nice would it be if Junior Sister Lu could see this scene?

Li Hengsheng held his tea cup, somewhat lost in thought.

"Old Fourth, in a while, our eldest brother and second sister will return, you should go meet them." Lord Zhou said, "Our eldest brother tends to be very generous, and having a new junior brother will surely make him very happy, and he’ll definitely give you some fine treasures."

"What kind of people are our eldest brother and second sister?" Li Hengsheng asked with curiosity.

"You’ll know what our eldest brother is like once you interact with him; he’s a bit different from others. As for our second sister, she’s quick-tempered and explosive, so it’s best to be careful. However, whether it’s our eldest brother or second sister, the disciples under Muhai Peak are all very caring toward each other."

Lord Zhou took a sip of tea and said, "It’s been almost a month since I’ve last seen them. Eldest brother is stationed at the National Guardian Mansion these days, and rarely comes back."

"Second sister likes to hunt and is often out adventuring, so I’m the only one who seldom leaves."

"The National Guardian Mansion?" Li Hengsheng asked.

"Yes, if the cultivation level of a direct disciple reaches the Innate Realm, they will govern a domain under the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, primarily to prevent the Ghost Race, and maintain local security. If they achieve merits, they can exchange them for contributions and obtain items they desire."

Lord Zhou said, "Furthermore, these merits can not only be exchanged in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, but also in Wentianhai City for any treasures you wish for."

"In theory, if your achievements are significant enough, you can even exchange them for a Scroll from the Painting Immortal."

"A Scroll from the Painting Immortal!" Li Hengsheng’s eyes widened.

"Wait, has our eldest brother already reached the Innate Realm?" Li Hengsheng blinked in surprise at such strength.

"Indeed, our eldest brother advanced to the Innate realm three years ago," Lord Zhou said. "Second sister is actually Innate too, but due to her special circumstances, she wasn’t sent out. Now, only you and I are the unfortunate ones under our Master’s command who haven’t reached Innate yet."

"Haha." Li Hengsheng gave Lord Zhou a sidelong glance.

The unfortunate one is probably myself.

It was late in the afternoon when Lord Zhou finally left.

As he departed, he cast a reluctant look at Cyan Rain Mountain.

Li Hengsheng greeted Xu Kui and then went to the secret chamber to cultivate.

Xu Kui just nodded without saying a word.

In truth, Xu Kui was also somewhat puzzled. He knew Xu Muhai’s standards for accepting disciples, and someone with Li Hengsheng’s talent would be considered exceptional even in the outer sect.

To be accepted as a direct disciple.

What was he thinking?

But since Xu Muhai chose Li Hengsheng, Xu Kui would focus solely on being Li Hengsheng’s steward.

He wouldn’t ask more beyond that. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

In the secret chamber, Li Hengsheng immediately took out the Golden Domain Pill. He intended to first reach the fifth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Then he planned to decide on his weapon for cultivation and understand his first martial art.

This is where my journey begins.

After swallowing the Golden Domain Pill, its effects instantly surged through Li Hengsheng’s body, causing his internal organs to tremble.

The potent medicinal effects also merged into Li Hengsheng’s muscles and cells, allowing him to feel the rapid transformation of his physical body.

Having already reached the peak of the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm, entering the fifth level was no difficulty for Li Hengsheng.

Even with average aptitude, one couldn’t withstand the power of the Golden Domain Pill.

Li Hengsheng felt that it wouldn’t take a day for him to break through to the fifth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Thousand Snow Peak.

Xu Muhai stepped onto the mountain. Despite his tattered clothing, he didn’t feel the cold at all.

"You’ve arrived."

A calm voice came forth.

Xu Muhai looked up to see a figure in white sitting in the snow pavilion, holding a wooden stick, writing something in the snow.

Although the figure didn’t lift their head, Xu Muhai had a constant feeling of being within Xue Qianbai’s aura.

Or rather, the entire Thousand Snow Peak seemed enveloped by his presence.

All things in heaven and earth appeared to be controlled by his consciousness.

"Vice Sect Leader." Xu Muhai approached, "The Sect Leader hasn’t returned yet. Do you know when he’ll come back?"

"I don’t know." Xue Qianbai shook his head, "The Sect Leader last descended from the secular world for three years before returning, so it’s hard to say after just a few months."

"Sigh." Xu Muhai let out a helpless sigh.

"Is there something on your mind?" Xue Qianbai asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Vice Sect Leader, do you happen to know how to break the Ghost Grudge Curse?" Xu Muhai asked directly.

The Ksitigarbha could only suppress it, not eliminate it. Should anything go awry, the Ghost Grudge Curse was destined to cost him his life.

At the mention of the Ghost Grudge Curse, Xue Qianbai’s eyebrows raised.

Before Xu Muhai even realized, Xue Qianbai from the snow pavilion had vanished and appeared right before him in the next moment.

He directly grabbed Xu Muhai by the collar, looking at the ghostly infant-like handprint on Xu Muhai’s neck.

"It truly is the Ghost Grudge Curse." Xue Qianbai released his grip, "Has it occurred yet?"

"Yes." Xu Muhai shivered from head to foot, a sensation he never wanted to experience again in his lifetime.

"Luckily, I received guidance from a senior and used a treasure to suppress it, so it shouldn’t recur for now."

Xue Qianbai turned around, "Was it that Li Changqing?"

"Yes." Since he had previously mentioned Li Changqing to Xue Qianbai, Xu Muhai had no intention of hiding anything.

"Indeed, a master capable of suppressing the Ghost Grudge Curse’s power." Xue Qianbai said, "I’m unaware of how to completely dispel the Ghost Grudge Curse, but I know one method."

"Whoever placed the Ghost Grudge Curse on you, kill them, and the curse will naturally be lifted."

"That’s practically impossible."

The painting had already been burned, and the entrance was no longer reachable.

Even if he found the entrance and went to the Cold Temple Ancient Temple, his cultivation would be suppressed in the face of that ghostly entity.

Enduring the Ghost Grudge Curse would be the least of his problems.

"Perhaps the Sect Leader has a way, but he’s gone secular and his whereabouts are unknown. You might find him if you search around." Xue Qianbai suggested.

"Additionally, if your Ghost Grudge Curse acts up and becomes unbearable, you can come to me."

"Oh? Does the Vice Sect Leader have a way to suppress it?" Xu Muhai’s eyes lit up, previously worried about what to do if the statue lost its effectiveness, it seemed Xue Qianbai had a solution.

"My sword is swift, I assure you it’ll be painless." Xue Qianbai replied earnestly.
