Chapter 13

Zhang Dashi’s temper was clearly not good, which made Lu Li very suspicious that he was just putting on a show.

The treatment for soul separation was actually very simple and did not require any rituals. Even if he did not know it himself, finding an old lady in the countryside would do the trick.

This man, with his peachwood sword, compass, and talismans, was really going overboard.

As he was about to leave, he glanced at Zhang Dashi, who was holding the peachwood sword, eyes half-closed, muttering to himself. He immediately twisted his mouth in a strange way, and his opinion of him dropped even further.

"Lu Li, do you think Zhang Dashi can handle it?"

Li Haijian and Liu Zhongtian might have some reservations, but Lu Fang was more concerned about her daughter’s health. Compared to the seemingly righteous Zhang Dashi, she clearly trusted Lu Li more.

"Metaphysics believes that children’s souls are thin and not tainted by the secular world, so they can see spirits that adults cannot. Actually, it’s not that exaggerated. I think spirits are just a special kind of vibration, and children, being in their developmental stage, can naturally perceive them."

Lu Li continued, "Soul separation is quite common among children, and the treatment methods are generally the same. As long as Zhang Dashi knows a little bit and follows the procedures, there shouldn’t be a problem."

"A little bit?" Li Haijian was immediately displeased, "Zhang Dashi is a famous master in Xiangdao, skilled in fortune-telling, feng shui, and even exorcism. How can you describe him as just knowing a little bit?"

"Haijian, say less. Lu Li is also considering Jiajia’s well-being," Liu Zhongtian interrupted Li Haijian.

He now almost idolized Lu Li, after all, the man had cured diseases with just a few words and predicted things accurately. Thinking about Lu Li’s apparent expertise in famous paintings, he felt that Lu Li was truly all-knowing!

Thinking about the Fang Gang’s genuine work that he had bought for 8 million, combined with Lu Li’s consistent excellent performance, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, and his expression turned sour.

He did have money, and a few million were not a big deal, but being cheated was another matter.

"Lu Li, is that painting really a fake?" Thinking of this possibility, Liu Zhongtian felt like he was being scratched by a cat, and he asked hesitantly.

Lu Li was taken aback, glanced at Liu Zhongtian strangely, and said nothing.

Lu Fang, reading the situation, scolded, "I told you long ago not to act on your own. If you’re not sure, find an expert. Where is your business acumen? Professional work requires professional people, isn’t that your principle? Why is it different in the world of collections?"

Liu Zhongtian had a bitter smile and remained silent.

He knew that his wife was not really angry but was just venting her frustration over their daughter’s illness. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so blunt.

"Vile beast, dare you!"

"Bang, bang, bang."

At this moment, Zhang Dashi’s angry roar suddenly came from the bedroom, followed by a series of fighting sounds, as if someone was fighting inside.

The four people outside the door were taken aback.

Lu Li instantly reacted and kicked the door open with a powerful kick.

The room was pitch black.

As the door opened, a gentle breeze blew past, making Lu Li’s hair move slightly. The fluorescent light, which had been off, flickered and suddenly turned on.

At this moment, Zhang Dashi had no trace of a high-ranking master. He was drenched in cold sweat, with a bloodstain on his face. He was waving the peachwood sword with both hands, but there was nothing in front of him.

Liu Zhongtian and the others looked at each other in confusion. Li Haijian, with a fearful expression, called out softly, "Master? What happened?"

"Phew."

Realizing someone had entered, Zhang Dashi quickly regained his composure, tidied his clothes, and walked over with a grim face, "Mr. Liu, I am very sorry, but I am powerless in this matter. Your daughter has been possessed by an evil spirit, and I do not have the ability to deal with it."

"What?"

Liu Zhongtian was shocked, his eyes filled with fear. But thinking of his daughter still lying in bed, he quickly pleaded, "Master, you must save my daughter. I will pay any amount of money to save her."

Lu Fang, from a distance, looked in the direction of Liu Jiajia and burst into tears, pushing Liu Zhongtian aside and running in.

"Mr. Liu, please be reasonable."

Zhang Dashi’s face turned cold, "I exorcise evil spirits to uphold the right, not for money. Please find someone more capable."

Having been taught a lesson by an unknown evil spirit and feeling quite shaken, his mood was very bad. He didn’t even give Lu Zhongtian a chance to explain or ask for payment, and turned to leave.

Seeing the master about to leave, Liu Zhongtian was immediately anxious and pulled Li Haijian to chase after him.

Throughout the entire time, Lu Li did not say a word, just frowned, his mind racing with various thoughts.

Regaining his composure, he turned his head towards the stairs, faintly hearing Liu Zhongtian and Li Haijian’s pleading and Zhang Dashi’s firmness.

"Indeed, a silver-tipped spear!"

Entering the bedroom, Lu Li felt the temperature drop significantly. He scanned the room, his gaze finally settling on the pile of dolls.

Turning his gaze to the bed, he saw Lu Fang half-hugging Liu Jiajia, crying with tears streaming down her face, deeply saddened.

"Ms. Lu, it seems that Zhang Dashi might not be as capable as he claims. Traditional Chinese medicine also has methods to treat soul separation. Let me give it a try."

"Really?" Lu Fang looked up with surprise, her eyes full of hope.

"Of course. Even if you don’t believe what I say, can you doubt my medical skills?"

From Zhang Dashi’s performance, he seemed to have some ability, but Lu Li knew he couldn’t say that, or Lu Fang would be even more upset.

Lu Fang nodded firmly, "I trust you."

"Ms. Lu, please prepare some things. Put three taels of each of the five grains in a bowl, prepare a high incense stick, an empty plate, and a brush."

Hearing Lu Li’s instructions, Lu Fang gently put down her daughter, looked at Lu Li, and quickly ran out.

After Lu Fang left, Lu Li carefully observed the surroundings of the bedroom, marking the direction with the heaviest yin energy.

Soon, Lu Fang returned with a porcelain bowl filled with the five grains. Lu Li took the bowl, inserted the incense stick, and lit it, then instructed, "Ms. Lu, wait by the door. No matter what you hear, do not come in unless I call you."

"Lu Li, will you be in danger?" Despite her concern for her daughter, Lu Li had once risked his life to save her. If anything happened this time, Lu Fang would feel very guilty.

Lu Li smiled faintly, "When have you ever seen a doctor save a patient and end up half-dead?"

"Huh?"

Lu Fang was taken aback. Indeed, unless there was a medical dispute, doctors were generally safe when treating patients.

"Alright, I’m going to treat Jiajia. Ms. Lu, please go out," Lu Li looked at the burning incense, feeling it was about time, and instructed.

Lu Fang looked at him worriedly, nodded, and turned to leave.

By this time, the sandalwood incense had burned out. Lu Li walked to the door, turned off the light, and then picked up the porcelain bowl, scattering the grains in a circle about half a meter in diameter, centered on the mark.

After doing this, he bit his tongue hard, spitting some blood onto the plate, and used the brush to dab it on his forehead.

"It’s been 200 years since I last did this. I hope it still works."

Preparations complete, Lu Li stepped into the circle of grains, standing at the center.

Instantly, his expression became extremely serious, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he made a hand sign, muttering, "Ancestor above, disciple below, the Emperor has decreed, let me communicate with the spirits, open the heavenly gate, illuminate the nine orifices, the heavens, earth, sun, and moon, transform my body, quickly open the gate, transform the soul into a spirit, as ordered."
