Chen Yu stuck an Evil Repelling Talisman onto the pearl as soon as he said that.
After finishing all this, Chen Yu started refining pills again.
Fortunately, he did not panic in the face of danger. Although he withdrew the spiritual energy, he did not disturb the pill refinement process.
Half an hour later, a red, cinnabar-colored pill appeared in Chen Yu’s hand.
The pill was only the size of an adult’s fingernail.
Although small, it could help Chen Yu strengthen his energy and vitality for his next breakthrough.
After completing his pill refinement, Chen Yu picked up the cauldron on the ground and placed it on the table.
Then, he moved the table near the Fiend Suppressing Pearl.
“If you dare bare your teeth against me within a week, I, Chen Yu, will give you a thumbs up and call you my brother.”
After a fulfilling and thrilling night, Chen Yu slept until noon the next day.
If his phone’s ringing hadn’t woken him up, he would have slept for a few more hours.
Looking at the caller ID, Chen Yu yawned and pressed the speaker button. “Excuse me, are you Master Chen?”
A man’s voice came from the phone.
“There’s no Master Chen here. There’s only Dr. Chen.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’m looking for Dr. Chen.”
“Dr. Chen, are you in your shop now?” The man asked hurriedly. “If you are, can I send someone to pick you up?”
“What do you want?” Chen Yu asked.
“I’m sorry. I was just too excited to hear your voice.”
“Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Kai, the owner of the Imperial City Clubhouse.”
Rubbing his temples, Chen Yu recalled what he knew about the Imperial City Clubhouse.
The Imperial City Club was a high-end business club.
Those qualified to be club members were either tycoons or high-level executives of conglomerates.
“Dr. Chen, from your voice, you must have just woken up. Why don’t 1 send someone to pick you up later?”
“President Liu, I’m already awake. Just tell me what’s the matter.”
“Oh, oh. I’m in some trouble. 1 heard from President Wang Dequan that Dr.
Chen can help me solve this problem.”
Hearing that this person was someone introduced by Wang Dequan, Chen Yu paused.
He pinched a few fingers.
Immediately after, Chen Yu revealed an expression of realization.
Karma would always set off a chain of events.
Karwas was also something that would twist and turn in a complicated manner.
“Send someone over. I’ll go and wash up now.”
“Okay, Dr. Chen. I’ll get my driver to pick you up now.”
The voice on the phone gradually turned into joy.
After hanging up, Chen Yu headed to the first floor to brush his teeth and comb his hair.
Twenty minutes later, a Rolls-Royce stopped in front of his shop.
The driver in a suit had the attitude of welcoming a VIP as he jogged out of the car and opened the back door.
“Dr. Chen, please get in the car.”
Not long after, the car arrived at the entrance of the clubhouse.
The owner of the Imperial City Club, President Liu, had been waiting for some time.
He had no idea what Chen Yu would prefer, so all kinds of drinks were on the table.
White wine, red wine, beer, and a dozen types of cigarettes.
“This is enough to hold a tobacco and alcohol exhibition.”
Chen Yu smiled faintly.
“Tell me, what did you encounter?”
“Dr. Chen, are there really ghosts in this world?” President Liu asked carefully.
“President Liu, if you say that again, I’m going to leave.”
Chen Yu’s face firmed up.
There were no ghosts in the world.
Most of the people who saw those ghosts were just imagining things.
The other half belonged to the energy bodies commonly seen in the scientific world.
“Just as President Wang said, you should listen to Chen Yu’s words oppositely.”
When Chen Yu said there were no ghosts in this world, President Liu automatically assumed that there were ghosts.
Most ghost sightings were actual, and only a small number of people were seeing things.
“Dr. Chen, you’re right. There are no ghosts in the world, and we shouldn’t believe in feudal superstitions. Please help me solve my problem from a scientific point of view.”
President Liu was very sensible and did not mention anything about possessing or exorcising ghosts.
He invited Chen Yu into his office from the reception room.
As soon as he entered, Chen Yu immediately frowned.
There was a safe in the corner of the office.
Many yellow talismans were pasted on the safe’s top, bottom, left, and right.
It looked like an urn from a horror movie.
While walking toward the safe, President Liu turned to look at Chen Yu.
He wanted to gain courage from Chen Yu.
President Liu entered the password while trembling when he arrived at the safe.
Kacha!
The safe softly clicked, and President Liu sat on the ground.
Chen Yu helped him and asked, “The trouble you encountered is related to the yellow cloth bag inside, right?”
“Yes.”
President Liu nodded quickly, like a chicken.
Opening the safe had consumed his courage, so he had to trouble Chen Yu to take out the item himself.
President Liu was not afraid of anything except ghosts.
Chen Yu extended a hand and took out the yellow cloth bag inside.
The yellow cloth bag was light, and he was holding something similar to a plate.
The yellow cloth wrapping it was the inner lining of the monk’s robes.
Furthermore, there was more than one layer of inner lining.
Chen Yu spent three minutes unwrapping five layers of robes.
It was a bronze mirror.
The front was no different from an ordinary bronze mirror.
There were some things behind the bronze mirror—many ferocious faces.
The face opened its mouth as if it wanted to devour someone.
“Dr. Chen, my trouble comes from this thing,” President Liu said nervously.
He was not the first owner of the Imperial City Clubhouse.
About a month ago, through a friend’s recommendation, President Liu spent
300 million yuan on buying this Imperial City Clubhouse.
He wanted a new atmosphere as the new owner, so the staff and decorations had to be changed.
It took a week for him to poach dozens of well-trained service personnel from other clubs.
President Liu instructed them to adjust the facilities and decorations inside the clubhouse.
He instructed his subordinates to change the crystal chandeliers in the corridor.
At that moment, the bronze mirror suddenly fell from the sky, hitting a waiter’s head.
President Liu felt this was an antique, so he didn’t ask anyone to throw it away and hung it in his office as decoration.
Yesterday, Wang Dequan brought a few clients here to relax.
Since the former top ten wealthiest men in the city had arrived, President Liu naturally personally welcomed them.
During their chat, President Liu learned that one of his clients ran a large antique business.
He casually mentioned that an antique bronze mirror had fallen from the ceiling in this clubhouse.
They were all curious and went to President Liu’s office to take a look.
When President Liu took down the bronze mirror, Wang Dequan shouted, “Don’t move!”
He quickly explained that that was not a human face.
Instead, it was the face of a Ghost King.
“Presiden Wang is right,” Chen Yu said. “This is indeed the face of a Ghost King, one of the top ten commanders in Hell.”
“In the legends, this Ghost King represents death and slaughter. However, this is just a rumor among the people and shouldn’t be taken seriously.”
Despite saying so, Chen Yu muttered inwardly.
Wang Dequan believed in Feng Shui for half his life, and while it didn’t help him, he was still knowledgeable in myths and legends.
Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to recognize this face, but Wang Dequan recognized it at a glance: a Ghost King, a commander of Hell.
But unlike the legends, a Ghost King doesn’t represent death and slaughter. In fact, they have another meaning.
Their duty was to suppress the evil ghosts of the underworld.
If the face of the Ghost King were made into a magic tool, the effect would be similar to the Fiend Suppressing Pearl.
They were used to suppress corpses and prevent them from turning into undead..
