Chapter 255: Purging Impurities
Collaborating with the Spirit Police is equivalent to gaining official support from Lecheng. In the future, many tasks will become much more convenient, especially in handling aftermaths. With the official intervention, Yin Division will face fewer troubles.
On the side of the Spirit Police, their responsibility goes beyond dealing with ghosts to ensure Lecheng's safety. They will handle any special events, which pose extreme dangers and might jeopardize the mission. However, with the assistance of Yin Division, the situation will be different.
Both sides have their needs and have shown sincerity, making this gathering quite successful.
The relationship between ordinary Spirit Police and Night Watch has also improved due to this gathering. Future collaboration is inevitable, and establishing good relations in advance is necessary.
Encouraged by the fruitful gathering, Yang Haoran decides to organize more such events in the future.
After leaving the hotel, Yang Haoran sent several messages to Xu Meijing. They chatted for a while, exchanging updates on each other's recent situations.
Becoming the Burial Master has given Yang Haoran more courage and confidence when facing Xu Meijing. This newfound strength stems from his improved abilities.
Although he's not as skilled in matters of love as Guanhai, he understands one thing – patience is key. Through his conversation with Xu Meijing, he learned that she has stabilized in Ancheng. After taking over Ancheng Yin Division and putting in effort, she successfully set it on the right track.
Impressed by Xu Meijing's achievements, Yang Haoran plans to visit her in Ancheng once he resolves his own issues. If the opportunity arises, he intends to express his feelings.
In the following days, Master Wu had the entire second floor of Yang Haoran's store renovated, adding a staircase directly connecting to the first floor. Yang Haoran and Kang moved in.Although the newly renovated house had a faint odor, Yang Haoran effortlessly eliminated it with his abilities.
Master Wu initially suggested renovating the third floor and connecting it to Yang Haoran's second floor. However, Yang Haoran declined as the size was already sufficient.
In their new home, Yang Haoran has his bedroom, study, and a personal gym. There's also a room dedicated to honoring his parents' spirits and the Death God statue.
Kang also has his independent bedroom, study, and a playroom.
Compared to Yang Haoran's previous living conditions, it's a world of difference. Kang's previous home was not as comfortable as Yang Haoran's old "dog's nest."
With the new residence, the space on the first floor previously used for living was unnecessary. Master Wu renovated it, giving the entire grocery store a fresh, clean look.
Yang Haoran entrusted all these matters to Master Wu, confident in his capabilities, and the results were indeed satisfying.
In the days that followed, Yang Haoran focused on purging impurities from his body, fearing it would impact his future development. He couldn't allow these impurities to accumulate for an extended period.
After half a year of effort, he finally cleared all impurities from his body. Without increasing experience, he wouldn't have been able to achieve this in such a short time.
Successfully purging all impurities lifted a heavy burden from Yang Haoran's shoulders. His Yin spirit power became pure once again.
With one troublesome matter resolved, Yang Haoran felt a profound sense of relief. Finally, he had time to continue practicing drawing talismans.
Due to a series of changes, Yang Haoran had not practiced drawing talismans for a long time. He thought that picking up the brush again would feel unfamiliar, but the results turned out to be better than he expected.
However, the term "better" is relative because he did not successfully draw a genuine talisman. Yang Haoran was not in a hurry, though. His initial urgency to draw talismans was driven by the desire to have some utility against Duda and Deng Feng. Now that both of them had met their demise, and he faced no other threats, his mindset remained calm. Even when looking at a table full of discarded attempts, his smile did not waver.
This calm attitude allowed him to become more familiar and experienced in drawing talismans. In addition to drawing talismans, Yang Haoran also allocated time to study the porcelain bottle obtained from Deng Feng's home and practice several secret techniques recorded in the black grimoire that required Yin spirit power.
The techniques were relatively simple to practice, and he successfully mastered all of them in no time. However, the milky-white porcelain bottle remained a mystery.
While curiosity lingered, he was not in a rush. If he could be patient with drawing talismans, he certainly wouldn't be anxious about this matter. With an immortal and ageless body, time was abundant. Even if the bottle shattered or decayed, he would still be alive – what was there to worry about?
Yang Haoran spent most of his days in the study, occasionally taking a stroll outside. However, these outings were infrequent.
As for Kang, after half a year, he had become the complete manager of the grocery store. Under his mother's guidance, he efficiently managed Yang Haoran's grocery store, and the neighbors in the vicinity now knew about the existence of this little manager.
Kang's presence also led to an increase in people criticizing Yang Haoran behind his back, believing that having a four-year-old boy manage the store was a perverse practice. Regardless of whether Yang Haoran had other reasons for doing so, these critics didn't care; they would talk behind his back first.
The reason for this behind-the-scenes criticism was not because they knew Yang Haoran's true identity but rather their fear of Master Wu. Although many neighbors didn't recognize Master Wu, some did, and every time Master Wu visited the grocery store, those who knew were shocked.
Through word of mouth, the neighbors on the street came to know about Master Wu's identity. In their eyes, with Master Wu's status, there shouldn't be any interaction with a poor guy like Yang Haoran. However, to their surprise, not only did Master Wu have connections with Yang Haoran, but their relationship was exceptionally close, even bordering on excessive intimacy.
Yang Haoran, who was originally a poor guy living in the storefront, suddenly became wealthy in just a few months – luxury cars, houses, and renovated storefronts. How could he suddenly become so wealthy?
Some imaginative folks even speculated that Yang Haoran was Master Wu's illegitimate child, and that's why Master Wu often visited to check on his son. Others had more absurd ideas, thinking that Master Wu had a peculiar taste, and Yang Haoran was not his illegitimate child but rather his lover.
Regardless of whether he was an illegitimate child or a lover, it couldn't be denied that Yang Haoran's relationship with Master Wu was extraordinary. So, these people didn't dare to confront Yang Haoran directly; instead, some of them even began to treat him with a more favorable attitude, and there was a hint of flattery.
Yang Haoran was aware of some of these idle talks, but he never took them to heart or cared about them.
The calm days continued for a while, but soon, this tranquility was shattered.
