Her clothing was far more humble, yet she looked prettier than before—her skin had lightened a shade, and she carried herself with newfound confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Yue Mei had appeared, it meant his suggestion was right—there was a way to survive outside the inn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at her expectantly: “Speak. What’s your plan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But lately, corpses in Ping’an Inn have been vanishing—pretending to be dead under these circumstances is like hanging yourself to shorten your lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after searching repeatedly, he found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she was mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celestial Official—Master of Joyful Weddings\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the current situation, anyone who can gain even a little more power benefits everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if a quantitative change triggers a qualitative one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three more were book-shaped—all were divine arts: “Feather of the Golden Crow,” “Possession,” and “Yin-Yang Eyes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Qi Zhiyong’s notes, there was an entry about this statue: after worshiping the Master of Joyful Weddings, one could receive talismans with the suffix “shu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Mei wore an unreadable expression: “Would you like to learn about our savior—the Lost Child Ghost Mother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s still daylight—everyone should go search for statues to boost their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant anyone with spirit money could use this statue. Wu Xian thought for a moment, then removed all his concealments around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian, carrying spirit money, began his first purchase in the blessed land—he placed a ten-unit spirit note into the statue’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, two artifacts: a pure cleansing whisk and a peachwood sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe, not too late!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine bundles of golden light sat on the stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the first morning in the blessed land, Wu Xian saw a man with his internal organs Taokong  hanging on the opposite billboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she only said she had a way to resolve the crisis—her exact method remained secret, known only to involve the Lost Child Ghost Mother, with details to be revealed at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, Wu Xian searched nearby, hoping to find another statue or encounter a minor evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized there was one more place that might hide a statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the transaction was complete, the wooden slats and cloth strips retracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian suddenly felt his scalp itch—he pulled out his phone, took a selfie, and discovered several strands of golden hair mixed into his own, while the heat within his body had grown significantly fiercer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This enhancement talisman could be perfectly applied to the True Fire Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin-Yang Eyes were of little use, since all evils in this blessed land were already visible to the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect of the “Rui” character talisman was to sharpen an object; the Golden Light Spell released a beam of golden light to attack enemies—these two talismans were first discarded by Wu Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the final one, the Feather of the Golden Crow—his chest hair had already taken the shape of a Golden Crow…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these three divine arts, Possession was likely the strongest, but its negative effects were the most terrifying—risking total loss of sanity. Wu Xian wouldn’t consider it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Characters are forced to reach into narrow, dark spaces, only to be ambushed by lurking spirits—cut off, shredded, roasted, dragged in—anything absurd could happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Enhancement Method” was somewhat interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed to the building across the inn, sprinted up to the fourth floor, and kicked open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every item here cost seventy spirit money. Wu Xian originally had 210, but spent ten to open the stall—meaning he could afford only two items, and had to choose carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue resembled a woman, dressed in a phoenix crown and brocade robe, holding a red chain in both hands, each end of the chain ending in a metal collar. Beneath the crown’s veil was a face devoid of features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four were talismans: “Rui Character,” “Golden Light Spell,” “Enhancement Method,” and “Decapitation Regeneration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If others have spirit money, let them use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Wu Xian had a flash of inspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian used his detective skills to search the room in the shortest time possible, eventually finding a thirty-centimeter-tall statue inside the oven of the built-in stove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could upgrade any low-grade talisman to mid-grade, restoring its usage count. Wu Xian thought for a moment, then plucked the “Enhancement Method” from the golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a self-targeted spell: after use, if your neck is severed, you won’t die—pick up your head and reattach it to revive. Extremely useful for faking death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue’s location was too cramped and narrow to perform worship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After buying the Enhancement Method, Wu Xian had only 130 spirit money left—he turned to the remaining three divine arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what puzzled Wu Xian was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue’s name was inscribed on its pedestal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue’s head sucked in the spirit note like eating noodles, then its base opened—wooden slats and cloth strips emerged, instantly assembling into a tiny stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came Decapitation Regeneration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the horror films he’d watched, one plotline never grew old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t paid much attention then, but now he realized—the man’s existence proved a horrific spirit event had once occurred behind the billboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wu Xian was astonished to find the Many Treasures Buddha statue had not vanished like the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian first eliminated the artifacts—he didn’t need the Pure Cleansing Whisk, and the peachwood sword’s function overlapped with the copper coin sword, so it was out of consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin-Yang Eyes: Eyes that pierce yin and yang, able to see spirits and behold the underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned to the talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The copper coin sword didn’t need sharpening, and the Golden Light Spell’s effect overlapped with the True Fire Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the mere fact that she was alive was enough to overshadow Wu Xian’s plan—they could only follow Yue Mei’s course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any great masters find this novel tolerable, please leave a good review in the comments to lure… cough, persuade… ah, recommend other readers to come read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possession: Steals the soul’s vitality, corrupts Dao methods and karmic merit—thus called “demon.” The possessed lose sanity, their bones and sinews twist, they defy heavenly order and moral law, appearing like spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Mei’s appearance brought a path to survival for the desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space within the blessed land was limited; every easy spot had already been searched. Even if another statue remained hidden, it wouldn’t be easily found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wu Xian raised his vigilance to the utmost and carefully reached his hand into the built-in stove.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xian placed a spirit note atop the statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third floor of Ping’an Inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much thought, Wu Xian chose the Feather of the Golden Crow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And such places were most likely to contain statues or useful miscellaneous items!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choosing divine arts differed from talismans and artifacts—the golden light held no physical object; when Wu Xian’s hand touched it, a warm current flowed into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, please leave more reviews and engage in discussion, hehehe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1211,"2026-06-20T14:31:06.102Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a083283cacd5116891df77219a5e05d23cf628dff135c3a81fe8b3a69e18f92e","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-30","heavenly-official-bestows-evil-chapter-28",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheavenly-official-bestows-evil-cover.jpg"]
