Ch 372: Verification Failed

In her past life, Chaoyang was always easy to talk to, regardless of who it was.

In Chaoyang’s concept, as long as others didn’t use obviously insulting language in front of her, she would let jokes pass with a smile.

But later she realized that those harsh-sounding words were also a kind of abuse.

Also because of her lack of counterattack and inaction, it allowed others to become increasingly bold in their roundabout slanders of her.

Finally one day, she couldn’t bear it anymore, she exploded, others looked at her incredibly, telling her, “You’ve changed, you weren’t like this before.”

At that time, Chaoyang couldn’t understand, where had she changed? Was it wrong to fight back?

After being reborn, she realized that she was not wrong, those people just couldn’t accept that the always easy-to-bully and easy-to-talk-to her suddenly fought back?

People who do wrong things never think they have a problem, always looking for reasons in others.

Chaoyang suffered too much from this in her previous life; if she still suffers now, then she would have been reborn in vain.

However, thinking of her grandfather’s appearance before his death, and her mother and aunt’s hesitant expressions, Chaoyang still softened.

Just as she told Tao Baiying just now.

As long as she doesn’t cause trouble anymore, and Jia Jianjun and Tang Jie divorce, Chaoyang will still bring people to Lake Heart Island.

“Heh…this damned blood tie!”

After arguing with Tao Baiying, Chaoyang returned to her room and calmed down for a while, and finally cursed self-deprecatingly.

She rubbed her cold face, got up, put on a house dress from the Tianyi Hundred Tombs, and walked downstairs.

Seeing Chaoyang’s figure, the silent crowd greeted her with smiles.

It was clear that they were very concerned about Chaoyang’s state.

Chaoyang nodded in acknowledgement, indicating that she was fine, then glanced at the living room and did not see Tao Baiying.

“Your grandmother was taken back to rest by your aunt,” Zhao Bing explained.

Chaoyang nodded, looking at the number of people present, two fewer people shouldn’t be a big problem, so she took everyone to the reception room.

“Qingming,” Chaoyang called.

Zhao Qingming nodded and walked out: “I called everyone here today to do an experiment…”

Zhao Qingming recounted the incident where eighteen people cultivated together to create a Spiritual Energy Vortex, and also told everyone the purpose and benefits of doing so.

After hearing this, the crowd nodded repeatedly, all expressing their willingness to cooperate.

Especially Zhao Bing, who put his arm around his son’s shoulder: “You kid, you’ve been hiding it well! You went upstairs without saying a word.”

“Hey, it was just yesterday’s thing, I didn’t have time to tell you, hehe…” Zhao Qingming didn’t lack time; he clearly forgot everything after seeing Rong Yingran.

“Good, then let’s start now,” Chaoyang said, sitting cross-legged.

Seeing this, the others also sat on the ground, crossed their legs, and quietly closed their eyes.

Everyone had engraved the cultivation procedure and insights into their bones; they didn’t need anyone’s guidance, and they entered a meditative state the moment they closed their eyes.

As they entered the state, the spiritual energy around them surged into the bodies of the people in the room.

Soon, a tiny spiritual energy vortex arose in the circle formed by eleven people.

So small it was invisible to the naked eye.

If it weren’t for Chaoyang’s keen perception, she wouldn’t have been able to detect the movement of dust in the air.

Maybe it’s not enough time!

Chaoyang thought so, didn’t interrupt everyone’s cultivation, and continued to circulate her spiritual energy throughout her body.

Time passed minute by minute, even Jia Yuan, who had sent Tao Baiying back, joined the cultivation ranks, and the spiritual energy vortex in the middle of the crowd showed no sign of increasing.

Chaoyang frowned and slowly opened her eyes.

“It seems…only the first time with enough people starting cultivation can cause that kind of resonance!”

The spiritual energy vortex was obviously more effective with multiple people cultivating together, possibly due to insufficient numbers, this improvement was insignificant.

After summarizing, Chaoyang woke up those immersed in cultivation.

Seeing Chaoyang’s furrowed brows, they knew that this hypothesis had failed.

Just as everyone was somewhat dejected, Chaoyang said, “It’s okay, I will adjust the Contract Ghost activities from once a week to twice a month, with 20 people each time.”

Chaoyang had considered that the current progress of obtaining points could fully support the consumption.

Moreover, as the apocalypse approached, strange events became more frequent. Just yesterday, Zhuang Hongsheng called to beg Chaoyang to bring more police officers to the Contract Ghosts.

The previous personnel were already insufficient.

Two police officers even almost died while dealing with strange events, giving Zhuang Hongsheng a serious headache.

“Chaoyang, if so many people cultivate together each time, our growth rate will be very fast, right?” Zhao Bing asked.

He was very concerned about his own growth; his ghost was Wandering Soul Level, and he could break through the level as long as his spiritual energy kept up.

Chaoyang nodded: “Yes, Uncle Zhao, on Qingming Day, it was by absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy from the gathered spiritual energy vortex that I broke through my cultivation realm.”

“That’s great!” Zhao Bing grinned, then thought of something and said, “That makes you too tired…”

Chaoyang shook her head: “It’s better to be tired now than to die later.”

Zhao Bing choked, then nodded vigorously, vowing to work harder in the future.

Yu Wan said: “Recently, my sister and I have been cooperating very well, and the speed of making paper offerings has increased significantly. I believe we will soon be able to provide a paper offering for each ghost.”

Chaoyang said: “Good, thank you, Old Madam Yu. Then after each Contract Holder arrives, we will cultivate together. Everyone, let’s work together to break through our cultivation realms soon. If you don’t have enough Hell Money and Enlightenment Pills, just ask me.”

Everyone nodded, chatted with Chaoyang for a while about cultivation and contracts, then went home.

Only Chaoyang was left in the empty small building. She checked the date; there was less than a month left until the third ghost arrived in her previous life.

Chaoyang couldn’t remember the details of this ghost’s appearance clearly.

Because at this time in her previous life, she was already seriously ill, her mental state was very erratic every day, sometimes she was drowsy and the whole day passed, she didn’t even remember if she ate.

She only remembered that night, it was that familiar feeling of being drowned in the deep sea again.

Her consciousness was clear, but she was welded to the bed and couldn’t move.

She finally opened her eyes and saw a person wearing a black cape standing by her bed, looking down at her.

She only opened her eyes for a few seconds before falling asleep again. If it weren’t for seeing someone talking about bed pressing on the forum the next day.

She almost forgot about seeing the ghost last night.

She couldn’t remember their appearance, vaguely remembering that it was an elderly elder.

As for whether the elder did anything to her later, or said anything, she had no memory at all.

The only feeling she had was that this elder seemed much kinder than Bayu and Lingze.
