Chapter 1527: Up to the G.o.ds

Martial Uncle Ge hadnt even gotten to hold the Phantom King Core until it was warm before it disappeared. There was no way he could accept it. He wanted to get the old man to help him get it back.

The old man said, Since this thing slipped out of your hands, it means youre not meant to be with it. As for whether or not it will create another powerful thing, that is up to the G.o.ds.

Dont force things, lest you end up six feet under.

Martial Uncle Ge sighed, seeming a little depressed.

Since youre fine, Im going to head back. Dont even think about trying to get that thing back. Its something from the phantom world after all. Having it in your hands is just courting disaster. The old man then left.

After leaving the hospital, Ning Shu asked the old man, Are you sure you dont want to get the Phantom King Core back?

Whats the point of looking for it? The heavens have their own plans for such things, replied the old man offhandedly. And so what if I find it? Should I just take out the ghost?

Until someone else has committed great sins, be it human or ghost, we cannot actively kill, or else we will end up carrying the burden of karma, said the old man.

Ning Shu nodded. I understand.

Ning Shu and the old man headed back to the Daoist temple that day, and Ning Shu continued to live a life of exorcising malevolent ghosts and teaching her junior brothers and sisters.

Since Ning Shu was the one that handled all the jobs now, she gained a little bit of a reputation in the villages near the Daoist temple. Whenever they encountered something, they would come to the Daoist temple to find Ning Shu.

But whenever the situation wasnt that severe, Ning Shu would let Tao Sheng do all the work. Tao Sheng was now sixteen, so it was the perfect time for him to learn.

Ning Shu also wanted to be lazy like the old man.

Ding! Task complete! Would you like to leave the task world? 2333s voice appeared in Ning Shus mind.

Ning Shu nodded. Yes.

Ill take the soul pearl first, otherwise when youre in your spiritual state, itll absorb you, said 2333.

Ning Shu nodded. After a moment of dizziness, when she opened her eyes, she was already in the system s.p.a.ce.

Ning Shu lay on the bed, somewhat tired. The intermediate tasks were much harder than the primary ones.

Ning Shu put the bracelet of white beads on her wrist. This item was a gift from the shopkeeper when she went to buy the faith halo.

After putting it on, it transmitted a cooling sensation that calmed the entire soul.

This task brought up negative emotions in Ning Shus heart. If these feelings werent cleared up, it would inevitably affect her ability to continue doing tasks.

The f*ck, she actually went into Qi deviation!?

After working so hard just to live, she actually considered committing suicide? Ning Shu slapped herself. So stupid!

Even if she had jumped from the building at the time, she still had the protective talisman to prevent herself from being eliminated, so it would have been a complete waste of a protective talisman.

Good thing she had been clear headed enough back then.

Ning Shu lay on the bed, silently chanting the heart-clearing chant, and slowly fell asleep.

After waking up, Ning Shu stretched lazily. She was in a surprisingly good mood and felt ready to see the results of this task.
