Chapter 296: Wandering Soul Technique

After Tian Lin and others arrived in Deyun City, they quickly found a clerk in a funeral supplies shop.

After learning the identities of Tian Lin and Ju Yunhai, the clerk in the funeral supplies store quickly told the shopkeeper.

Soon, the owner of the funeral supplies shop brought Tian Lin and others to the merchant's old house.

The old merchant house was not located on the streets of Windy City, but was built in a valley outside the city.

When Tian Lin and others arrived, although many people in the valley had dispersed, there were still hundreds of guests in mourning clothes remaining there.

The shopkeeper of the funeral supplies shop who brought Tian Lin and others here reported to the elders of the business. Tian Lin and others soon saw the current owner of the business and the disciples of Xiangxi Sect who had received spirit stones and came to help.

At that moment, eight people gathered in front of the hall. Apart from the elders of the Shang family and the patriarch of the Shang family, the remaining five were outer disciples of the Xiangxi Sect.

Those five outer disciples of Xiangxi Sect, like Elder Shang and Patriarch Shang, all have the cultivation level of the late foundation building stage.

Elder Shang and the Shang clan leader were polite to Tian Lin and the other two, but the five outer disciples of the Xiangxi Sect were not so polite.

The leading outer sect disciple couldn't help but laugh and mocked Patriarch Shang: "Even if we brothers are not strong enough, Patriarch Shang doesn't need to invite some weird people over."

Another Xiangxi Sect outer sect disciple followed the leading disciple and said, "Senior Brother Shi, as well as the third and fourth brothers, everyone must hide their coffins well, or they will be stolen."

After hearing this, how could Ju Yunhai not understand the meaning of their words?
Although Ju Yunhai did not participate in the incident when Elder Gao and the disciples of Class Bingwu went to the Xiangxi Sect's territory to steal coffins, who in the Dao Sect didn't know about it?

Afterwards, thousands of people died in Yujia Village, a mass grave. The Daodao Sect could not say that it had nothing to do with Elder Gao.

On both occasions, Elder Gao's actions offended the Xiangxi Sect. Although the elders of the two sects did not care about these trivial matters, the disciples of the two sects were not so generous, and it was inevitable that some Xiangxi Sect disciples were dissatisfied with the Daodao Sect.

"So it's the five brothers of the Shi family. I was wondering why the outer disciples of Xiangxi Sect didn't stay in the mass burial ground and come out to earn some extra money?"

Although Ju Yunhai knew that he was in the wrong, how could he tolerate the other party insulting his own sect? So he retorted:

"I have heard that although several of my fellow disciples are outer disciples of the Xiangxi Sect, they are so poor that they use their own corpses to pay off debts. I wonder if this is true."

Hearing this, Boss Shi flew into a rage. He stepped forward, pointed at Ju Yunhai and said, "Ju, what do you mean?"

Ju Yunhai said: "I also have good intentions - if you brothers don't like to hear it, then I won't say it."

"court death!"

The five Xiangxi Sect disciples all surrounded Ju Yunhai. Tian Lin had no choice but to step forward and stand with Ju Yunhai.

At the same time, the head of the Shang family hurriedly separated the two groups and almost begged:

"My fellow Taoists, the evil spirit has not yet been eliminated. We are all disciples of the immortal sect. Why are you still angry with each other? For Shang's sake, it would be better for everyone to sit down and talk."

The Shang clan leader arranged a banquet while trying to appease the two parties.

After all, the five brothers of the Shi family were invited by the Shang clan leader to come here with spirit stones. For the sake of the spirit stones, the five brothers of the Shi family had no choice but to give up.

Ju Yunhai had no intention of making a big deal out of the matter. He was still thinking about completing the task and did not want to really fight with the five brothers of the Shi family.

Soon, a banquet was prepared, but the five brothers of the Shi family and Tian Lin and others sat on the two sides, separated by Elder Shang and the Shang clan leader. Ju Yunhai took a sip of wine and asked the Shang clan leader, "As far as I know, the Shang clan leader has invited the five brothers of the Shi family to come here for a few days, right? It shouldn't take so long to exorcise the evil spirits, so why do you need help?"

The corpse boss thought Ju Yunhai was mocking their incompetence, so he stood up and said, "We five brothers are incompetent, so let's see if you have any good way to exorcise the evil spirits."

Chief Shang quickly stood up and took some effort to get Boss Corpse to sit down.

After the corpse boss sat down, the Shang clan leader said:

"If it's just a simple exorcism, it would be easy. But if you want to get the ancestor's spirit out of my son's body without hurting him, that's not easy to do."

In order to avoid further disputes, the Shang clan leader simply said to Tian Lin and the others:
“My fellow corpse Taoists have a unique skill called the ‘Wandering Soul Technique’, which can allow a person’s soul to temporarily leave the body, just like a Nascent Soul expert.

Our plan is to have a few fellow corpse-fellows set up the formation, and then ask for guardians to guard the formation. After the soul leaves the body, we will go into my son's sea of consciousness together to drive out the evil spirits."

According to Patriarch Shang, the soul of his ancestor has been trapped in his son's sea of consciousness.

What needs to be done now is to ask a few people to leave their bodies and enter the sea of consciousness to find the soul of his ancestor and bring his ancestor's soul out.

"You also know that the soul leaving the body is something that only Nascent Soul masters can do. We are only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Once the soul leaves the body, it is very likely that our soul will be scattered."

Tian Lin couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this risk too great?"

The Shang clan leader said, "You are all disciples of the Taoist sect. Your spirits are much stronger than others. Others may not be able to succeed, but you will definitely succeed."

Mei Xiangu sneered and said, "From what you said, you asked us to come here just to let us risk our lives to save your son?"

Patriarch Shang was speechless for a moment. He knew that this was risky, otherwise he would not have spent a large sum of money to ask Dao Sect for help.

"According to our spirit-wandering method, as long as the oil lamps are not extinguished and the sky is not clear, your spirits will not be in any danger."

The third brother of the Shi family said, "With the brothers of our Shi family performing the Wandering Soul Technique, what are you afraid of?"

Mei Xiangu said: "It is precisely because you guys are the ones who cast the spell that we are afraid."

After hearing this, the brothers couldn't sit still anymore: "We have already practiced the Soul Method thoroughly, are you doubting our ability?"

Ju Yunhai simply said to the Shang clan leader: "The Shang clan leader also knows that the five brothers of the Shi family have prejudices against us. They don't trust us, and it's hard for us to trust them. For now, we have to think of another way."

The Shang clan leader did not speak, and the Shang elder said:

"Fellow Daoist Ju, you may not know that we have already thought of all the possible solutions. If there were other feasible solutions, we would not have asked you to come and help us."

"How many souls can enter your sea of consciousness when you return to the sect?"

Tian Lin suddenly asked Patriarch Shang: "Whose souls are you planning to let enter the young master's sea of consciousness?"

Patriarch Shang said: "The more people perform the Wandering Soul Technique, the safer the wandering soul will be; therefore, the Taoist friends of the Shi family do not need to enter the sea of consciousness, and the ones who enter the sea of consciousness are Elder Shang, Taoist friend Ju, and Taoist friend Mei."
