Chapter 780: Chapter 780: Linzhou Funeral Parlor

The old man’s tone stalled for a moment, then he went on, "The third place is an abandoned funeral parlor in Linzhou."

Yang Cheng froze for a second—of the three locations he’d picked, two matched what the old man had just said. He just hadn’t expected the third Land of Extreme Yin to be right here in Linzhou.

"Sir, which of these places do you think has the heaviest Yin Qi, the one most likely to have Moon Marrow Blood Platinum?"

The old man stroked his beard and said mildly, "That’s hard to say. Strictly speaking, all three might have it. But Moon Marrow Blood Platinum can aid Cultivation, so there are plenty of people fighting over it."

"It might be there, but there’s a good chance it’s already been taken. As for where the Yin Qi is the heaviest, that would definitely be the Linzhou funeral parlor."

"Before it was the Linzhou funeral parlor, that place was a mass grave. People have been dying there day in and day out from ancient times till now. Yin Qi has been steadily accumulating—it’s the place with the heaviest Yin Qi in all of Linzhou."

Yang Cheng nodded, then said without the slightest hesitation, "Then we’ll head straight to the Linzhou funeral parlor!"

"You’d better go check the other places first. The heavier the Yin Qi, the more dangerous it is. If you start digging there, you’ll easily disturb things that shouldn’t be disturbed. When that happens, even with your Cultivation, you’ll likely die there."

"Thank you for the guidance, sir. But sooner or later, I have to go."

Yang Cheng’s expression stayed calm as he looked over the Compass and talismans on the table and walls.

"Sir, can your Compass sense Yin Qi? Could you lend it to me for a while? I promise I’ll return it to you safe and sound."

The moment the words left his mouth, the old man picked up the Compass and set it down in front of him, saying lightly, "I think you’re a decent young man, and it seems we’re fated to meet. I’ll give you this Compass. In places with heavy Yin Qi, the Compass will react violently, and its pointer will land on the Yin trigram."

"Got it. Thank you, sir."

Yang Cheng dipped his head to him slightly, though he couldn’t help feeling a bit tense inside.

Against human beings, as long as their Cultivation wasn’t too high, he wasn’t afraid. Worst case, he could run. But if he really ran into some ghost with an extremely deep grudge, it’d be all too easy to die there.

"If you manage to come out alive, bring a few taels of good liquor and come visit me."

The old man waved his hand, indicating he could leave.

He wasn’t greedy for that bit of wine; he just wanted to know whether this young man was still alive. If he never showed up again, the old man would know how it ended.

Yang Cheng understood what he meant and gave him a grateful smile, then took a wad of bills from his pocket and put it on the table.

"The Compass is a gift from me. Other than that, all I did was share a bit of information. No need to take money. Whether you get the thing or not depends on your own ability."

The old man refused to accept it, and personally escorted Yang Cheng back the way they’d come.

On the way, he couldn’t help but warn him, "A Land of Extreme Yin is more terrifying than you think. It’s best to go on a night with no moon. Without moonlight, the Yin Qi will withdraw a little—that’s to your advantage."

Talking as they went, the two had already reached that little stall. Seeing him return unharmed, Cheng Qiyue finally let out a sigh of relief and hurried up to meet him.

"Sir, we’ll be going now."

Yang Cheng waved farewell, then pulled Cheng Qiyue into the car and told her everything he’d seen and heard just now.

"That lets us rule out the Anling Hospital for now, but there are still three places left. Which one do we go to first?"

Cheng Qiyue turned her head to look at him.

"Not we—me. I’m going alone."

Yang Cheng’s tone was firm.

"What do you mean? You’re going to the Land of Extreme Yin by yourself?"

Her eyes flew wide, then her face went solemn. "No. I can’t let you take that risk alone!"

Yang Cheng was a bit helpless, but he patiently tried to persuade her, "The old man said the Land of Extreme Yin is far too dangerous. And you’re a woman—your constitution is yin by nature. You’ll be easily eroded by the Yin Qi, and that could leave irreparable damage."

"Ms. Qi Yue, just listen to me. If I go alone, all I need to do is look after myself. But if you’re with me, I’ll constantly be worrying about your safety instead, and that’ll drag both of us into danger."

"But..."

Cheng Qiyue still didn’t feel at ease. At least if she went, there’d be someone there with him. If he went to that eerie place alone without even a person to talk to, how terrifying would that be?

"No more buts. Just listen to me. We’re going to the Jiang Family in Linzhou together now. I need to needle Miss Jiang again. After that, you stay at the Jiang Family and wait for news from me. Once I get the Moon Marrow Blood Platinum, I’ll come straight back."

"If the Silver Needle in Miss Jiang’s body floats up, use True Qi to help me press it down and hold out until I return. If the Silver Needle pops out and I still haven’t shown up, then Miss Jiang can’t be saved."

Yang Cheng had no absolute confidence that he could get the Moon Marrow Blood Platinum. As for ghosts, he truly wasn’t afraid of them—but the fear of the unknown still made one’s heart race.

Seeing his expression leave no room for argument, Cheng Qiyue stopped insisting. She nodded and said, "We’ll do as you say."

Thinking it through carefully, she knew her own strength was far too weak. She couldn’t really help Yang Cheng; she’d only be dragging him down. Not going with him was actually a wise choice.

By this time, they’d already left Zhonghai and were driving toward Linzhou.

By noon, they finally reached the Lin Zhou City urban area. It was their second time here, and they couldn’t help glancing more often at the scenery outside the car.

This city was far less prosperous than Zhonghai. It was broad daylight, yet there weren’t many people on the streets, which gave it a somewhat desolate feel.

On their last trip to Linzhou, they hadn’t noticed it at all. If you were talking about a place with heavy Yin Qi, this city should definitely have a spot on the list.

Before long, they arrived at the Jiang Family residence.

As soon as they stepped through the door, Jiang Heping came forward, all enthusiasm and excitement on his face. "Mr. Yang, have you found the Moon Marrow Blood Platinum?"

"Not yet, but I’ve got a lead. I’m going to dig for Moon Marrow Blood Platinum tonight. For now, take me to see Miss Jiang."

Yang Cheng wasn’t in the mood for pleasantries; he had to first confirm Jiang Yu’s condition.

Disappointment flashed across Jiang Heping’s face, but he quickly led him upstairs, saying as he went, "I’ll bring some men with you and we’ll dig it up as fast as possible. Then my daughter can be treated sooner. Otherwise I’m always afraid she’ll suddenly..."

"It’s a Land of Extreme Yin. If you go there, you’re just throwing your lives away. I can go on my own. You stay home and take good care of Miss Jiang. Other than Cheng Qiyue, no one is allowed to approach her."

As he spoke, Yang Cheng had already stepped into the bedroom. Jiang Yu still lay on the bed, face as pale as paper, her body so frail it looked as if the slightest force would snap her bones.

He immediately reached out to take her pulse. He found that the Silver Needle in her chest had already floated up a little, so he promptly channeled True Qi to press it back down, suppressing the Rabbit Source Qi roiling in her chest.

If the Silver Needle were to spring out, the Rabbit Source Qi in Jiang Yu’s body would run wild again, ravenously devouring the blood in her body. In the end, this beautiful young girl in the prime of her life would turn into a shriveled corpse.

"Has Miss Jiang had a blood transfusion?"

At that moment, Yang Cheng suddenly asked.
