Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 310: Chapter 310 Heavenly Master 17

The problem with the talisman was resolved, and next was the issue with the female ghost. Situ Shuangshuang originally planned to use the Yin Talisman to open the Divine Acupoint for the female ghost right away, to ask why she was so fixated on not reincarnating. However, before she could release the ghost, her actions were interrupted by a sudden knocking on the door.

The person knocking was at the main gate of the courtyard. Because the gate was quite a distance from the house, they knocked very loudly. Today, Chen Qi had gone fishing with the old man next door, so Situ Shuangshuang had to give up on resolving the female ghost’s issue and went out to open the door.

Outside the gate was a plain-looking stranger, a middle-aged man. When the man saw a teenage girl opening the door, he was taken aback and then tentatively asked, ”Is this Master Chen’s home?”

Seeing the faint black aura on the man’s face, Situ Shuangshuang recognized he was stained with Yin Qi, indicating he had recently been in contact with the dead. The reason for such a person coming here, asking directly for her teacher, Master Chen, was clear.

”Come in. My master isn’t here. You can wait inside for now!”

Situ Shuangshuang didn’t think about calling her master, as Chen Qi wasn’t used to carrying a phone. Besides, her master would be back soon based on his usual habits, so calling wouldn’t make him return any sooner. It was better to wait directly.

Situ Shuangshuang didn’t plan to have the man explain his situation to her either. Since he specifically came to see her master, it was clear he knew and trusted Master Chen. Besides, at her young age, she didn’t seem capable of handling such matters. Even if she claimed she could solve his problem, he probably wouldn’t believe her.

Sure enough, when the middle-aged man saw Chen Qi wasn’t present, he simply sat down to wait. After pouring him a glass of water, Situ Shuangshuang didn’t know what else to say.

Over the years, in order to avoid angering herself, she had avoided communication as much as possible. Besides, seeing the man lost in heavy thoughts, he probably wasn’t in the mood for small talk either, so she went back to her own tasks.

Continuing with the female ghost was clearly unwise. With such heavy Yin Qi, Situ Shuangshuang, as a Heavenly Master, wasn’t afraid, but the man already had Yin Qi. Adding more from the ghost could make him immediately fall ill.

After some thought, Situ Shuangshuang decided to use a good quality piece of Mulberry Wood to try and make a Heavenly Thunder Talisman! Mulberry Wood primarily serves to kill and has great attack power. The Heavenly Thunder Talisman doesn’t just destroy ghosts, its greatest effect is to kill demons!

Wood Talismans have more power and last longer than Paper Talismans, but are also much harder to make. Previously, even though Situ Shuangshuang quickly painted Paper Talismans with the pen moving like a dragon, she never succeeded in making a Wood Talisman.

The process for making a Wood Talisman involves a carving knife, and it requires the same fluid motion as painting talismans, without any pauses, and the talisman must be perfectly smooth without any stagnation. The slightest error could ruin the wood piece.

Situ Shuangshuang had drawn many Paper Talismans in a row, and this time, the idea of making a Wood Talisman suddenly struck her mind with inspiration. She felt she was ready and decided to give it a shot to see if she could successfully make one.

Calming her mind, she held the carving knife in hand, focusing intensely on the mahjong-sized, thinly sliced Mulberry Wood. Holding her breath, she set the knife down. This time, crafting the Wood Talisman wasn’t as laborious as before. Situ Shuangshuang felt the carving knife glide effortlessly over the Mulberry Wood, smooth and elegant, like a talisman pen swiftly tracing over talisman paper, becoming a talisman in no time!

With the Wood Talisman carved, Situ Shuangshuang exhaled a long breath. It was done. On the Mulberry Wood Talisman, a deep blue current of electricity traced around the previously carved lines, and then a massive bolt of lightning appeared out of nowhere, striking down through the window onto the Wood Talisman!

The Wood Talisman, upon contact with the lightning, exploded into a powerful suction, absorbing all of the lightning’s dispersed energy into itself! The lightning was so massive that the Wood Talisman couldn’t immediately absorb all of it, and the leftover electricity kept crackling loudly in the room!

The blinding white light from the lightning left no shadows in the room! This was the power of the Heavenly Thunder, sweeping away any darkness and leaving only pure brightness!

The Wood Talisman continued for nearly a minute before completely absorbing the gigantic bolt of lightning. As the lightning vanished, the light in the room returned to normal.

Situ Shuangshuang was alright thanks to her Dharma Eye, which feared no lightning; however, the man requesting Chen Qi’s help had blurred vision for quite some time before he could regain focus. Even after his sight returned, his mouth hung agape, frozen in shock as he stared at Situ Shuangshuang!

Situ Shuangshuang couldn’t be bothered about whether or not the man would be scared. The fact that he came to her master for help meant he already believed in such things, so Situ Shuangshuang wasn’t afraid of him witnessing something supernatural.

She was currently in high spirits, holding the carving knife with satisfaction as she admired the Mulberry Wood Talisman, which had successfully summoned a bolt of Heavenly Thunder. She was filled with pride and planned to carve a few more Heavenly Thunder Talismans while the feeling lasted!

The man was not shocked by Situ Shuangshuang’s mystical methods but rather by her remarkable skills at such a young age!

Although the man believed in these things, he had no idea what counted as talent. But he figured that a young girl who could call down lightning from the heavens had to be skilled! So after recovering, he eagerly rubbed his hands and stood in front of Situ Shuangshuang.

Preparing to carve a talisman, Situ Shuangshuang, blocking the sunlight, raised her head in confusion to see the man standing in front of her with a timid look on his face.

The man looked at the girl’s cold expressionless face and couldn’t help but feel a little nervous, thinking that Master Chen was truly formidable! Such a young person but already so imposing, quite intimidating indeed!

But he was already too tormented to let this opportunity slip away after finally finding a true master. He had to persist, so he carefully picked his words and spoke cautiously.

”Master, I’ve recently been haunted by a ghost. Can I ask for your help to exorcise it? I can’t stand it any longer! The ghost not only haunts me but also won’t let my family have any peace! My wife has been scared sick, barely breathing while staying in the hospital, almost on the brink of death! My son is about to get married, but the girl’s family is too frightened to proceed with the marriage. Our home is in complete disarray!”

A golden light flashed in Situ Shuangshuang’s eyes. With her Dharma Eye fully open, she examined the man’s body from top to bottom. It was fine; he was only tainted with a small amount of Yin Qi. If this ghost truly troubled his family to such an extent, it must indeed be a fierce ghost. How come everyone in the family suffered but it spared him?
