209 Ghost Phagosome Technique (2/2)
So every ghost cultivator's practice was extremely difficulty. Their journey of practice was paved with difficult days ahead. The trials and tribulations they faced were far more than what a normal cultivator would go through.
This type of cultivator was a classic example of changing your destiny by going against the will of heaven. With a body of death, they forcefully defied the ways of heaven, not only not dying, but seeking eternal life.
Although the ghost cultivator practice was difficult and fraught with danger, they had capabilities that normal cultivators did not have.
Under normal conditions, if they did not meet with an accident nor die in a disaster, the ghost cultivators lifespan was very, very long. Hence, their name being Undead.
Some long-lived ghost cultivators, in their long lives, their cultivations grew higher and higher. It could be said that to gauge a ghost cultivator's cultivation, you could estimate it from the amount of time they had spent cultivating.
Some old monsters that had lived for a really long time were basically peerless in strength.
But for a ghost cultivator to want to live long, it was no easy feat. The ghost cultivator faced too many tragedies. Also as their cultivation grew higher, the tragedies they faced got more frightening. Almost 99% of ghost cultivators would die to tragedies.
The common world shamans and people who made corpses walk, compared with ghost cultivators, paled into insignificance.
They could not be considered cultivators. They had just mastered some mysteries of the world and hence were equipped with some abilities that only cultivators had. But compared with true cultivators, they were still worlds apart.
So regarding the ghost in Xu Dongkui's body, Mo Wen was not too surprised by it; some people who have mastered special ghost raising techniques could do so.
If a ghost cultivator had acted, Xu Dongkui would probably not be lying on the bed. He would most likely have his corpse erased from existence, or otherwise made into a zombie.
”Your meaning?”
Xu Qianqian's eyes opened wide. Her facial expression immediately darkened. Mo Wen's words were clear; with her intelligence, how could she not have understood? Her father's illness was clearly orchestrated by someone. Who was it that wanted her father dead?
Mo Wen shrugged without commenting. A normal ghost could not hurt anyone; after three days it would dissipate. Only a ghost that was fed by someone and groomed over several months had such ability.
Even then, the ghost within Xu Dongkui's body, still needed one or two years time to completely suck him dry of his qi and blood essence.
That is why Xu Dongkui was sick for one or two years, but no hospital could detect the cause.
After all, normal hospitals could not possibly detect such things as ghosts.
”Mo Wen, my father's illness?”
Xu Qianqian took a deep breath. Her shifting facial expression calmed down. Now was not the time to overthink; curing her father's illness was the utmost priority.
”Hmm, please leave now.”
Mo Wen slightly nodded and said.
”Thank you.”
Xu Qianqian did not say anything, turned and walked out the door. Obviously she had absolute trust in Mo Wen.
Once Xu Qianqian walked out the door, only then did Mo Wen shift his gaze to the man on the bed.
The man's facial expression was blackish, his lips were green and his eyes were shut tight, like a dead person lying in a coffin.
Mo Wen walked forward, one hand pressing against the man's Baihui Point on the top of his head. A golden flame rose from his hand, then entered Xu Dongkui's body from his Baihui Point.
If it was before, against a ghost that was possessing a human's body, it would not be an easy thing to do. Before treatment began he needed to make lots of preparations. He didn't even know how many medicinal herbs he had to prepare to counter a ghost.
But now, it was different. Ever since he knew of Cultivation, Mo Wen's outlook, experience and abilities had far surpassed his previous self. It was on a completely different level. To deal with a small ghost possessing a body, naturally it would be a cinch.
With the constant influx of the Fire of Nine Yang, Xu Dongkui started to emit black gas. The black gas had a slight chill. With the appearance of the black gas, the temperature of the entire room plummeted; out of nowhere there was a chill.
But not long after the chilly black gas appeared, Mo Wen's body flared up with golden flames. With a sweep of the golden flames, all of the black gas completely dissipated in the air.
The Fire of Nine Yang was originally the flame with the most positive energy and had a strong counter effect towards ghosts. With the Fire of Nine Yang's abundant Yang Qi, it was enough to cause all small ghosts to retreat.
With the outflux of the black gas, a strange shriek sounded suddenly from inside of Xu Dongkui's body. The sound was bizarre and unpleasant. It made people uncomfortable, inducing a nauseating sensation.
”Get out.”
Mo Wen gave a cold laugh, and with a finger pressed onto Xu Dongkui's Taiyang Point. An even louder bizarre shriek sounded out.
The next moment, a greyish ball of light emerged from the top of Xu Dongkui's head. The light ball flickered then prepared to escape through the window.
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows, the corner of his mouth curling into a playful grin. For a small ghost that didn't even have self-awareness, naturally it was impossible for it to know how to escape. Now, the ghost was escaping; it was obviously not the ghost itself doing so. The person behind the scene who was controlling it had noticed that something was off and controlled the ghost to escape.
Normally, the ghost and its feeder were connected with their minds in order to control the ghost to possess another person's body and constantly control the ghost's movements. So the ghost and the ghost rearer were almost two in one.
Once the ghost received destructive damage, the ghost rearer that was mentally connected to it would also receive severe damage. They would not be able to recover in a few month's time.
