Chapter 207 Blood Jade Gives Birth to Evil
Cao Xinghua and the others couldn't understand what the Yin Soul wanted to do, but just then, the originally quiet Jade Buddha suddenly burst into dazzling light.
The light was extremely intense, just like the boundless Buddha's light in movies and TV shows.
In fact, this light also possessed a strong Buddhist attribute, instantly heavily injuring the approaching Yin Soul.
"Ah…"
The Yin Soul let out another shrill shriek and turned to flee out the window.
At this moment, he seemed to have realized that he had encountered an unprovokable existence, and the way to survive was to run as far as possible.
But how could Ye Bufan let him escape? He extended his right hand, and a small black bottle appeared in his palm—it was the Demon Refining Bottle.
After the Demon Refining Bottle appeared, the Yin Soul immediately felt an irresistible suction force. Although he wanted to struggle desperately, it had no obstructive effect whatsoever, and he was instantly sucked into the bottle.
Ye Bufan put away the Demon Refining Bottle. Without this Divine Artifact, it would have been quite a hassle to deal with this Yin Soul. After all, this guy had cultivated for over a thousand years and was about to become an Evil Spirit.
But with the Divine Artifact in hand, everything became very simple.
Seeing the Yin Soul subdued, everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Qingzhi asked, "Brother Ye, what exactly is going on?"
Ye Bufan said, "I already said it just now. Your daughter wasn't afflicted by Evil Qi at all; she was possessed by a Yin Soul, the one I just subdued."
Lu Qingzhi said in surprise, "Then is my daughter's illness cured?"
"You could say it's cured, and you could say it's not."
Lu Qingzhi said in confusion, "What does that mean?"
Ye Bufan said, "The Yin Soul possession has been lifted, but she has had her Yang Qi absorbed by this Yin Soul for three years. She is now like a lamp running out of oil. Even if she survives, she only has three days left to live at most."
"This…" Lu Qingzhi immediately rushed to the bed and found that his daughter's complexion had returned to normal, but her face was pale, her eyes lifeless, and her breathing extremely weak. She indeed did not have long to live.
"Brother Ye, please save my daughter. As long as you can save Banxia, I, this Old Man, will do anything you ask."
As Lu Qingzhi spoke, he was about to kneel, but Ye Bufan waved his hand and lifted him up.
"Don't worry, with me here, your daughter won't die. I said I would save her, and I will naturally keep my word."
From beginning to end, Ye Bufan had a very good impression of Lu Qingzhi and his daughter, so he naturally wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
"Thank you, Young man (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page), thank you so much. It was my fault for being blind before, please don't mind it."
Lu Qingzhi said, bowing in apology.
"Let's save her first." Ye Bufan said, walking up to Lu Banxia and reaching out to untie the ropes on her body.
Without the Yin Soul possession, Lu Banxia was now gaunt and extremely weak. Forget about being tied with ropes, she couldn't even stand up on her own.
Ye Bufan took out a small black Medicinal Pill and put it into her mouth.
This was no ordinary Medicinal Pill; it was an Yin Origin Pill refined after the Demon Refining Bottle absorbed the Yin Soul. This was also the reason for the elaborate process just now.
This Yin Soul had Cultivated for at least a thousand years, and its own strength was extremely formidable. Coupled with the Yang Qi absorbed from Lu Banxia, if it were directly refined into an Yin Origin Pill, the Medicinal Pill's power would be too strong for Lu Banxia's Physical Body to bear.
Because of this, he first used Dan Fire to dissolve a portion of the Yin Soul's cultivation.
Then he carved a formation on that Buddha statue, using the Buddha's light activated by the formation to further weaken the Yin Soul's strength.
After being injured twice, the Yin Soul's strength was greatly reduced, and the Yin Origin Pill produced was just enough to allow Lu Banxia to recover her Origin Qi, and also make a small step forward, without exceeding her body's burden.
However, all of this was only known to him. To others, it seemed incredibly simple, merely giving Lu Banxia a Medicinal Pill.
Ye Bufan said, "Alright, just wait a moment, and I'll return a lively daughter to you."
"Young man, thank you so much, thank you very, very much."
If he hadn't just witnessed Ye Bufan's miraculous methods, Lu Qingzhi would never have believed that a small Medicinal Pill could cure his daughter.
But at this moment, he already regarded the Young man before him as a celestial being, and had no doubts about his words.
At this moment, Qin Chuchu said, "Xiaofan, where did that Yin Soul come from? How did it get onto Banxia?"
Lu Qingzhi quickly followed up, saying, "Yes, we need to find out the root cause, so we can be careful in the future."
They had suffered immensely for three years, and were truly terrified, leaving a shadow in their hearts.
Ye Bufan reached out and picked up the Jade Buddha, saying, "The root cause is in this Jade Buddha."
"How is that possible? Aren't Buddha statues auspicious objects? How could they be related to that thing?"
Lu Qingzhi said, "To be honest, over the years, in order to treat Banxia's illness, I have squandered all my family's wealth, even selling off all the antiques passed down from my ancestors.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) I only kept this Jade Buddha, hoping that the Buddha would bless us and Banxia would recover one day."
Ye Bufan shook his head and said, "A Buddha statue, if it hasn't been consecrated or blessed by the Dao, is no different from a piece of jade, and it won't have any restraining effect on Yin Souls.
The most crucial thing is that your Buddha statue has a problem. If I'm not mistaken, Old Man Lu Huaian must have passed away after this Buddha statue entered your home."
Lu Qingzhi thought back, then exclaimed, "That's right! Three years ago, my father bought this Buddha statue from the antique market, and he passed away the very next day.
Although he was over eighty at the time, his body was very strong. Could it be related to this Buddha statue?"
Ye Bufan said, "Of course it's related. This Buddha statue was originally an unearthed object, stolen from underground by some tomb raider, and before that, that Yin Soul had been nourishing itself within this Buddha statue for a thousand years.
The Old Man was old and his Yang Qi was weak, so he couldn't resist the Yin Soul's absorption, which is why he lost his life overnight.
And Lu Banxia, being in her prime, had abundant Yang Qi, so she barely managed to hold on for three years."
"This…"
Lu Qingzhi's face was filled with shock; he never expected that his father had died this way.
Qin Chuchu said in confusion, "Xiaofan, there's one thing I don't understand. Logically speaking, jade contains the righteous Qi of heaven and earth, so it shouldn't be able to nourish evil things. How could this Yin Soul be contained within the Buddha statue?"
Ye Bufan said, "You're right, general jade usually nurtures the righteous Qi of heaven and earth, but this Jade Buddha is different; it's carved from Blood Jade.
Blood Jade inherently nourishes evil things, and it was also buried underground as a burial object by unaware people, which is why it nurtured this powerful Yin Soul."
"Blood Jade? Does such a thing really exist?"
As someone from a jade-owning family, Qin Chuchu had heard of Blood Jade, but she had never seen a physical specimen.
She held the Jade Buddha in her hand, examining it carefully, and said, "Isn't this high-quality mutton-fat jade? How is it Blood Jade?"
"Blood Jade looks very similar to mutton-fat jade, but the difference is that it contains blood Qi, which is why it can produce evil, but these things cannot be seen from the outside."
Ye Bufan said, taking the Jade Buddha, gently rubbing his right hand, forming a hand seal, and then placing it on the Jade Buddha.
The Jade Buddha instantly changed, first emitting a dazzling red glow, then the red glow disappeared, and its volume shrunk by about one-third.
