After placing the bet, Jiang Fan once again glanced at the luck entries above the heads of the two children in the formation below.
They are still two and a half hours and six and a half hours away from completing the spiritual root awakening ceremony respectively.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
As for Sikong Yueling, she was not interested in these things. After coming in, it didn't take long before she sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
Xiaoqin, the maid in white, hung her hands in front of her body, silently lowering her head and waiting aside, as if she was waiting for orders at any time.
Time passed bit by bit, and suddenly, there were several knocks on the door outside the attic. Then a familiar shout came:
"Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Sister Yueling, are you two in there?"
Jiang Fan heard the sound and opened his eyes.
"Come in!"
When the people outside the attic heard this, they opened the door and walked up to the second floor. It was Li Qingshan who had gone to hide from debts earlier.
He came behind Jiang Fan and Sikong Yueling, saluted and apologized with an embarrassed look on his face:
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Sister Yue Ling, the incident happened suddenly and my subordinates had to make their own decisions..."
The girl in green clothes was in a state of cultivation and ignored him.
Jiang Fan, with his back to Li Qingshan, felt that the other person's voice sounded very weak.
Confused, he turned his head and took a look.
After seeing the other party's appearance, he was immediately surprised.
In less than an hour, the long-bearded monk's eyes had become sunken, his face looked haggard, and his energy seemed to have been drained dry by something.
Jiang Fan was extremely surprised and quickly asked:
"Junior Brother Li, what happened...why did you become like this?"
Li Qingshan looked a little confused when he heard this:
"Senior Brother Jiang, what are you talking about? Why can't my subordinates understand you?"
Seeing that her face was blank, Jiang Fan didn't seem to be faking it, so he turned to look at the maid in white standing on the other side and said:
"Xiao Qin, do you have any bronze mirrors here? Bring one over."
The maid in white clothes was also shocked by the long-bearded monk who looked completely different from before. When she heard Jiang Fan's voice, she realized what she was doing. She nodded quickly and went to find a bronze mirror in the corner of the attic.
Jiang Fan handed the bronze mirror to Li Qingshan.
"See for yourself."
Li Qingshan took the bronze mirror and saw his current appearance in the mirror. He was shocked and almost threw the bronze mirror away with a trembling hand.
"W-what's wrong with me?"
Seeing his extremely panicked expression, Jiang Fan looked like he had no idea what was going on, and he was extremely curious.
He thought for a while, concentrated his mind, and looked at the top of the other person's head.
The long-bearded monk's luck entries slowly condensed:
[Twin spiritual roots of wind and earth, old gambler, and spirit-stealing child body (initial stage)]
[Old Gambler: Addicted to Gambling as Destiny, Destiny of Fortune]
[Spirit-stealing child body (initial stage): The effect of other people's skills, due to the failure to repay the karma, the mind is gradually withering (after twelve hours, it enters the second stage)]
Jiang Fan's eyes flashed when he saw the third luck entry of the long-bearded monk.
If his guess is correct, this is the culprit that caused the other party to look like this.
This Li Qingshan must have just met some monk who practiced evil methods, and was secretly manipulated by someone.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan asked:
"Junior Brother Li, someone used vicious means on you. Do you remember who you dealt with outside just now?"
When Li Qingshan heard this, he began to remember with a sad face. After a moment, he shook his head:
"Senior Brother Jiang, I didn't see any other monks nearby the corner I used to hide in..."
Jiang Fan frowned when he heard this.
"I didn't meet anyone else..."
He raised his head and glanced at the luck entry called Spirit-Stealing Subbody above Li Qingshan's head, and his eyes repeatedly pondered over the specific line of text.
Unable to repay due to karma...
Owe karma?
Jiang Fan suddenly felt shocked.
He remembered the reason why Li Qingshan evaded in a hurry.
Isn't it because the usurious loan owed to the puppet monk has not been repaid!
Could it be...that this is what is called owing karma and failing to repay it?
If it was really because of this moment, then it would prove that his previous hunch was not wrong.
The puppet monk repeatedly asked his senior sister to borrow spiritual stones from him. He wanted to use this matter as a thread to make his senior sister owe him karma, so that he could use his methods conveniently.
Fortunately, I had the foresight to let my senior sister reject that guy.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will fall into the same trap as the long-bearded monk in front of me.
Jiang Fan thought of this and breathed a sigh of relief.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to use his own luck to modify the system and help Li Qingshan erase this luck.
Now that my cultivation realm has reached the crystallization realm, erasing the luck of a monk in the early stage of the foundation-building realm may seem like a big interference, but the sequelae should not be as serious as before.
Just treat it as an experiment.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said to Li Qingshan:
"You first close your eyes and meditate, stabilize your breath, and I'll try it first to see if I can help you get rid of the other party's vicious methods."
When Li Qingshan heard this, he quickly sat cross-legged on the spot and closed his eyes to stabilize his breathing.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan concentrated his mind and pretended to stretch out his finger and point it between the other person's eyebrows.
Then he released his spiritual power, followed the acupuncture points, invaded the opponent's meridians, and traveled in his body in the normal way of circulation.
At the same time, he looked at the luck entry above the head of the long-bearded monk and thought silently:
"System, use the luck erasing function to erase the opponent's 'spirit stealing body (initial stage)' luck!"
As soon as the thought came to an end, Jiang Fan saw above Li Qingshan's head that the corresponding luck entry turned into light particles and slowly dissipated in the air.
At the same time, he also felt a slight feeling of fatigue welling up in his mind.
Jiang Fan shook his head and found that the fatigue quickly dissipated and did not have much impact on him, and he felt happy.
Sure enough, after his cultivation reached the crystallization state, his ability to withstand the sequelae became much stronger.
This is undoubtedly good news.
When the time comes for me to use Han Yun's important luck, I will be much more sure of resisting the sequelae.
Li Qingshan closed his eyes tightly, feeling the spiritual power from Brother Jiang's fingertips, invading his meridians, and slowly traveling along the sky, feeling very uneasy in his heart.
I don’t know if the other party can solve my own problems.
After a moment, he suddenly felt a cool feeling in his mind, and his spirit was shaken.
At this time, Jiang Fan just took the spiritual power that had traveled through his meridians back into his body, and then said:
"That's it."
Hearing this, Li Qingshan opened his eyes suddenly. He felt refreshed and regained his original vitality. He immediately stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to Jiang Fan:
"Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang!"
Xiaoqin, the maid in white who had been standing aside silently with her head lowered and only daring to look at him with the corner of her eye, also saw the change in the long-bearded monk.
I saw that the other party's originally haggard expression suddenly recovered a lot, as if he had taken some great tonic medicine.
Except for the sunken eye sockets, which have not fully recovered, the whole person's mental temperament is almost the same as the normal appearance when he first saw him.
She turned to look at Jiang Fan, feeling secretly shocked.
This immortal master is so amazing!
