Xie Qiao’s expression was grave and worried.

She was not familiar with the grand preceptor, but he had indeed helped the Xie family a lot. Was she going to watch this person die? She felt uncomfortable.

Moreover, if the sorcery was successful, it would implicate a few children and cause them to lose their lives. Even if it did not work, it would be harmful to these children!

“Master, you once told me that everything has its own way of balance… and I remember that when I read that book, there seemed to be a way to crack it.”

Xie Qiao recalled carefully.

However, for some reason, she actually had no impression of the method of cracking it.

Mo Lingzi’s face flashed with uneasiness. “What method? I don’t know… You, don’t worry so much. Everyone has their own fate.”

“Master, you know that if I don’t try it if I know there’s a solution, it will hurt my moral integrity.” Xie Qiao looked at him quietly.

“You don’t know, do you?” Mo Lingzi grinned. “Silly girl, there’s really no solution.”

Even if there was a solution, if it could not be achieved, would that not mean there was no solution?

It was not a lie.

“Old man, you’d better tell me the truth. I will decide for myself whether it can be used or not.” Xie Qiao still felt that the old man was lying to her.

Mo Lingzi’s heart choked and felt very helpless.

When Xie Qiao was young, her body was not in good condition. However, because she could see ghouls, she had a lot of things to do. Either some ghouls wanted to possess her, or the ghouls were looking for her to help resolve their last wishes.

These ghouls were pestering her day and night. She had no choice but to give in.

However, her body was really too weak. In the beginning, the last wishes that she could resolve could only be those ordinary things. Those that were slightly more difficult could only be piled up. She was unable to do anything about it.

As time passed, the things in her heart grew more and more, and she worked harder and harder to learn.

Perhaps he also knew what kind of person Xie Qiao was, so he subconsciously told her about this matter and did not hide it.

It was not necessarily that he did not have the intention of letting her choose for herself.

Mo Lingzi sighed.

“We need a place with Yang energy only. To put it bluntly, we need to go to a Taoist temple high up in the sky to receive the qi of heaven and earth and pure Yang energy. Then, we need to find an Academic Excellence Brush and mix it with cinnabar, gold powder, and a first-class medicinal ink. Together with the four seasons heavenly water, we need to copy the incantation and use it for the ceremony,” Mo Lingzi said.

Xie Qiao immediately nodded and listened.

She knew what the four seasons heavenly water that her master was talking about was.

It was water formed from dew, frost, rain, snow, and ice. It was water flowing from the east, reversed flowing water, cold spring water, hot spring water, well water…

It was indeed not easy to gather all of them.

“With this Yang energy and heavenly water, we can receive the qi of life and eliminate the qi of death. Many evil spells can be broken with this. However, your body is not well, and this spell will take at least nine days. I’m afraid your body won’t be able to withstand it.”

“There are many powerful Taoist masters in the Yuxu Temple. Yuan Changzi and I are considered friends. Why don’t we invite them?” Xie Qiao quickly asked.

Her master was old, and his body was not healthy. His hands and feet were no longer agile.

“I’m not done yet. That sorcery hurts people’s lives, and it’s too overbearing. If you want to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth, you’ll naturally have to pay something. The way both sides do things is a fight between dragons and tigers. If you don’t have a pair of natural yin-yang eyes that can see between two worlds, you won’t be able to see the children’s innate qi. It’s not good to channel that qi back. Cow’s tears won’t do. Moreover, if you look at it too much, even if your body is able to withstand it, in that place of extreme Yang energy, if you do that sorcery, the calamity would be solved. Your eyes that can see ghouls will be gone. From now on, you won’t be able to see living people.”

In other words, she had to use her eyes to exchange for the lives of others.

He was a cultivator. If it were him, perhaps he would sacrifice himself for others. However, he did not have a pair of yin-yang eyes.

Of course, people without yin-yang eyes could do it. However, the probability of failure was high, and it was impossible to save all the children completely.
