The evil thought flashed through my mind.
But I quickly dismissed it.
Master had specifically warned me in my dream not to harbor evil intentions or harm the innocent.
The retribution for karmic debt was something I could not bear.
If I were to follow Master's words, then I only had one choice.
To kill evil spirits and slay fierce ghosts.
The choice for now was the red-skinned fire ghost from Factory Two.
Damn it; whether it's fortune or misfortune, I can't avoid it.
I took a deep breath and made up my mind:
"Uncle-Master, there's no other choice, let it be the red-skinned fire ghost!
There are still more than ten hours until nightfall.
The wisteria is downstairs, I'll go get it now."
I spoke directly.
The red-skinned fire ghost was formidable, but thinking about my journey so far, when had I not encountered formidable Yin spirits?
Weren't they all extremely dangerous?
But in the end, hadn't I persevered through it all?
Perhaps Master was right, that with effort and perseverance, there would eventually be a reward.
If it truly became impossible, I still had a final resort!
With that thought, I instinctively touched the Dragon-Phoenix Jade Pendant on my chest...
Uncle-Master nodded "Mm" when he heard me speak.
Then he sat down in the living room.
I, on the other hand, headed towards the underground storage room.
In a short while, I arrived at the warehouse.
I turned on the lights.
The dim warehouse was very dry, filled with the smell of burnt paper and candles.
I rummaged through the wisteria bundle I had brought back last time.
There were many杂物 in the warehouse, and I searched for a while.
Finally, behind a cardboard box, I found the bundle containing the wisteria.
It was covered in talismans and layered with dust.
Left here, I had completely forgotten about it.
Who would have thought that this thing would turn out to be the best object for gathering longevity?
"Found you!"
I exclaimed in surprise and took out the bundle.
I tore off the talismans and opened the bundle.
Instantly, a unique fragrance wafted towards me.
I took a whiff.
The smell was truly fragrant.
Even after being stored for so long, the wisteria was still as if alive, its purple leaves had not yet withered.
This plant was truly magical.
Holding the purple bone wisteria, I walked directly outside.
In a short while, I returned to the living room.
Uncle-Master and Old Mo stood up when they saw me return.
"Got it?"
Uncle-Master looked at the bundle in my hand and smelled the peculiar fragrance.
I nodded and held out the wisteria:
"I got it, Uncle-Master, look!"
As I spoke, I held the person-tall wisteria in my hand.
"This is the thing, Master, it smells so good."
Old Mo said, taking a deep breath and sniffing it greedily.
Xiao Mei also inhaled several times.
Uncle-Master, who had never seen it before, walked closer to examine it.
At the same time, he took it from my hand:
"This plant is truly peculiar.
After being stored for so long, it's still so lifelike.
No, it's alive."
Uncle-Master pulled off a leaf and found that there was still sap inside.
"Uncle-Master, what do we do now?"
I asked.
Uncle-Master looked at the purple bone wisteria in his hand and said:
"If we're going to do it, we'll do it best.
Your Aunt Yunxia said.
The most resilient part of the wisteria is the core.
I'll extract a section later.
Xiao Qin, do you want to continue making it into a bracelet or a necklace?"
Aunt Yunxia said that as long as it was a personal item.
It couldn't be taken off once worn.
Both bracelets and necklaces were good choices.
"A bracelet, Uncle-Master, I'm used to wearing it."
I replied.
Uncle-Master nodded:
"Alright!
Prepare the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and get some cinnabar, ancestor's incense ash, and boil a pot of herbal soup.
Do we have a yellow chicken, if not, go buy one immediately.
Also, bring a few sharp knives..."
Uncle-Master began to instruct.
In an instant, our group became busy.
And everything Uncle-Master needed, we had here.
Even the yellow chickens, we raised a few in the backyard.
It was food for Xiao Mei before.
But after not returning for a few days, they were already hungry and "clucking."
In a short while, we had all the items prepared.
Uncle-Master picked up the purple bone wisteria and decided to take the middle section, which was the most resilient.
He placed the wisteria on the wooden table and swung his knife down.
Preparing to cut the purple bone wisteria.
However, all that was heard was a "clang" sound. The purple bone wisteria did not break, and the knife in Uncle-Master's hand was blunted.
"Holy cow, this wisteria is this hard?"
Old Mo exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Mei and I, as well as Uncle-Master, were all astonished.
This was just a plant, yet the knife blade couldn't cut into it.
After the surprise, Uncle-Master chuckled a few times:
"As expected, it's extraordinary, this is perfect, sturdy."
After speaking, Uncle-Master bit his fingertip and slid it across the sharp knife in his hand.
The blade was stained with blood.
He then let out a low growl:
"Enlighten the blade!"
Uncle-Master was actually using Taoist magic to consecrate the ordinary blade.
The consecrated blade seemed to have become much sharper.
Uncle-Master raised his knife and with a "crack," the tough purple bone wisteria was directly cut.
And the severed purple bone wisteria seemed to come alive.
It actually "papapa" rolled and curled on the wooden table.
Purple liquid with a strange fragrance flowed from the wound...
"Did this wisteria turn into a spirit?"
I exclaimed in surprise, looking at the wisteria vigilantly.
Old Mo and Xiao Mei had similar expressions to mine.
Only Uncle-Master seemed very pleased:
"As expected of good stuff, extraordinary. kuAiδugg
Don't panic, this wisteria hasn't become a spirit.
It has only gained a little spirituality.
But ultimately, it is still just a plant.
Xiao Mo, ancestor's incense ash."
Old Mo quickly handed over a bowl of incense ash:
"Master!"
Uncle-Master took it and sprinkled it towards the wisteria.
The rolling, curling wisteria, as if alive, immediately quieted down.
In less than ten seconds, it became still and quiet like a normal plant.
Seeing that the purple bone wisteria had stopped moving, Uncle-Master continued his work:
"You guys hold one end, I'll draw out the heartwood cord now..."
