Mo Wen looked at the man who was sick on the bed and frowned slightly. Something was not right.
"My father, Xu Dongkui, can you see if his illness can be treated?"
Xu Qianqian walked to the bedside and said nervously. She was not sure if Mo Wen could treat her father. After all, she had visited all the hospitals in the country, big and small, but none of them could treat her father.
However, she knew that Mo Wen was not an ordinary person. He could do things that others could not, so she always had high hopes for Mo Wen.
Although this father was not very competent, ever since her elder brother died, she did not have many relatives left. If she lost everyone, what would she do in the future?
"He can be treated," Mo Wen said plainly.
He had merely glanced at the man on the bed. Without even moving, he had already come to a conclusion.
"Really?"
Xu Qianqian grabbed Mo Wen's arm and said excitedly. She did not even bother to think about why Mo Wen could treat him even though he had not seen a doctor yet. She believed that if Mo Wen said he could, then he definitely could.
"Hmm."
Mo Wen nodded. Xu Dongkui's illness was not considered an illness. However, when an ordinary person encountered this kind of thing, it was indeed very difficult to deal with.
From Xu Dongkui's body, he discovered something very interesting.
Dark soul!
Xu Dongkui's body actually nurtured a dark soul. The dark soul was not strong, but it would absorb Xu Dongkui's Qi and blood every day. It used the essence of human Qi and blood to nourish itself to ensure that the dark soul would not dissipate.
Obviously, the current Xu Dongkui had become the dark soul's nourishment. Every day, it swallowed his life essence. After a long time, he would naturally gradually die.
Now, although Xu Dongkui was only in a coma, he would not be more than a month away from death. If he could not expel the dark soul, he would become a withered corpse in no time.
"Interesting."
Mo Wen curled his lips and smiled.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Qianqian asked nervously.
"There is something unclean in your father's body." Mo Wen glanced at Xu Qianqian and said.
"Something unclean?" Xu Qianqian looked at Mo Wen uncomprehendingly.
"That thing is swallowing your father's life every day. After a long time, your father will die. However, what is interesting is that that thing cannot reside in a person's body. It can only be done through a medium, and that medium can only be done through a person."
Mo Wen said with a deeper meaning.
It was obvious that the ghost in Xu Dongkui's body was planted deliberately by someone with the intention of harming him.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for a normal person with vigorous vitality and abundant Yang energy to be invaded by Yin spirits. Therefore, those weak spirits could not take the initiative to reside in a human's body.
Moreover, once the soul left the body, if there was no place for it to stay within three days, it would dissipate from the world, turning into a wisp of smoke and vanishing.
Only a few people with ulterior motives could preserve the soul in a special way. Only then could it exist for a long time.
Mo Wen knew quite a bit about ghosts. In his previous life, when he was still a Miracle Physician, he knew that there were these unclean things that were created by humans. Once a person was infected with them, they would be in great danger. Hence, he naturally knew quite a bit about the methods of treatment and defense.
However, he did not know why those things existed. After all, the world was big and full of wonders. It was normal that he did not understand many things.
It was said that there was a type of ghost sorcerer who specialized in dealing with ghosts. They could use ghosts to harm people, and of course, they could also use ghosts to do many things.
However, ghost sorcerers were very rare. In his previous life, Mo Wen had not met many of them. As for how they nurtured ghosts and how they used ghosts to harm people, it was even more unknown.
It seemed that in this world, there were also legends of ghosts and zombies. For example, the Ghost City of Fengdu, the Xiangxi Corpse Drivers, and the Maoshan Taoist priests who specialized in catching ghosts.
It seemed that on Earth, there was also a profession similar to ghost sorcerers. They did not interact with the living, but instead dealt with the dead.
After entering the foggy mountains and coming into contact with the Cultivation world, he had a clear understanding of the existence of those things.
In the Cultivation world, humans had three souls and seven spirits. The body was the carrier. If both were present, it would be a human. If both were present, it would be a ghost.
Although Mo Wen could not practice Cultivation, he knew quite a lot about the concept of Cultivation and the mysteries of the human body. With a deeper understanding, the way he looked at things was naturally very different.
He knew that in the Cultivation world, there was a type of cultivator called ghost cultivator. It was the ghost cultivator or the zombie cultivator. There was only one of the two, and the difficulty of practice was much higher than that of ordinary people. This was because ghost cultivators could be said to be creatures of the dead. If they were still alive and practiced, it was against the way of heaven and was not tolerated by the way of heaven.
Therefore, the practice of every ghost cultivator was extremely difficult. Their path of practice was full of thorns and bumps. The heavenly disaster that they had experienced was far more than that of ordinary cultivators.
This type of cultivator could be said to be the classic example of defying heaven and changing fate. With a dead body, they forcefully went against the way of heaven. Not only did they not die, but they also pursued immortality.
Although ghost cultivators were difficult to practice and faced many disasters, they also had conditions that ordinary cultivators did not have.
Under normal circumstances, if they did not meet with accidents and did not die under the heavenly disaster, the ghost cultivator's lifespan was very, very long. They could be said to be undead creatures.
Some ghost cultivators who had lived for a long time would have higher and higher Cultivation over a long period of time. It could be said that to measure the Cultivation of ghost cultivators, one could roughly guess from the time they practiced.
Some of the old monsters who had lived for a long time were almost all absolute strong practitioners.
However, it was not easy for Ghost Dao cultivators to live for a long time. This was because Ghost Dao cultivators had to face many Heavenly Tribulations. The higher their cultivation, the more terrifying the Heavenly Tribulations. Almost 99% of Ghost Dao cultivators would die during Heavenly Tribulations.
The ghost cultivators and corpse controllers of the secular world naturally paled in comparison to ghost cultivators.
They could not be considered immortal cultivators. They could only be said to have mastered some of the mysteries of the world and had some abilities that only immortal cultivators would have. However, compared to real immortal cultivators, they were worlds apart.
Therefore, Mo Wen was not surprised by the ghost in Xu Dongkui's body. Some people who had mastered special techniques of raising ghosts could also do it.
If ghost cultivators attacked, Xu Dongkui would not be lying on the bed right now. His corpse would most likely not exist, or he would be refined into a zombie.
"What do you mean?"
Xu Qianqian's eyes widened. Her expression instantly became somewhat ugly. Mo Wen's words were very clear. With her intelligence, how could she not understand? Her father's illness was actually deliberately framed by someone. Who was it? Who wanted to kill her father?
Mo Wen shrugged his shoulders noncommittally. A normal ghost couldn't harm anyone. It would completely dissipate after three days. Only a ghost that was raised by people and nurtured for a few months would have that ability.
Even so, the ghost in Xu Dongkui's body still needed one or two years to completely absorb his Qi, blood, and essence.
Therefore, Xu Dongkui had been sick for one or two years. However, no hospital could find out the cause.
After all, it was impossible for a normal hospital to find something like a ghost.
"Mo Wen, my father's illness?"
Xu Qianqian took a deep breath. Her fluctuating expression calmed down. Now was not the time to think so much. Treating her father's illness was the most important thing.
"Hmm, you can go out now."
Mo Wen nodded slightly.
"Thank you."
Xu Qianqian didn't say anything. She turned and walked out of the door. Obviously, she had absolute trust in Mo Wen.
After Xu Qianqian walked out of the door, Mo Wen then set his gaze on the man on the bed.
The man's face was black. His lips were blue. His eyes were tightly shut. He looked like a dead man lying in a coffin.
Mo Wen walked forward and pressed his hand on the Baihui acupoint on the man's forehead. A golden flame rose from his hand. Then, it entered Xu Dongkui's body through the Baihui acupoint.
If it was in the past, it would not be easy to deal with a ghost residing in a human body. Before the treatment, a lot of preparation had to be done. Just the medicinal herbs needed to restrain the ghost were numerous.
However, it was different now. Ever since he started Cultivation, Mo Wen's vision, experience, and ability had far exceeded his previous self. They were on a completely different level. Dealing with the small ghost residing in his body was naturally not a problem.
With the continuous influx of the Fire of Nine Yang, masses of black gas began to emerge from Xu Dongkui's body. The black gas had a gloomy coldness. With the appearance of the black gas, the temperature of the whole room dropped rapidly. There was an additional gloomy coldness in the air.
However, not long after the gloomy and cold black gas appeared, a golden flame rose from Mo Wen's body. With a slight sweep of the flame, all the black gas completely dissipated into the air.
The Fire of Nine Yang was originally the world's most Yang fire. It had a strong restraining effect on ghosts and other things. With the Fire of Nine Yang containing sufficient Yang Qi, it was enough to make all the small ghosts retreat.
With the continuous outpouring of the black gas, Xu Dongkui's body suddenly emitted a strange shriek. The sound was very strange and unpleasant. It made people feel uncomfortable and nauseous.
"Come out now."
Mo Wen laughed coldly. He pointed a finger at Xu Dongkui's temple. Then, an even sharper and strange shriek sounded.
In the next moment, a mass of gray light emerged from the top of Xu Dongkui's head. The mass of light flashed and was prepared to escape through the window.
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. The corner of his mouth curled into a playful smile. A small ghost that didn't even have its own consciousness naturally wouldn't know how to escape. Now that the mass of ghost was escaping, it was obviously not something that the ghost itself could do. Instead, it was the person controlling the ghost. He had sensed that something was wrong, so he had controlled the ghost to escape.
Normally, the ghost and the ghost breeder were connected mentally. Only then could they control the ghost to live in other people's bodies and constantly control the movements of the ghost. Hence, the ghost and the ghost breeder could be said to be one and the same.
Once the ghost was destroyed, the ghost breeder, who was connected mentally with the ghost, would also be severely injured. It would take a few months for him to recover.

Regarding the relationship between the people in the Xu Clan yesterday, I made a mistake because I was in a hurry when I wrote it. Yes, everyone knows about it. However, I have changed it now. The real situation was that the second brother was an illegitimate child. He was indeed born a few years earlier than Xu Qianqian. As for the second wife, she had an affair with Xu Qianqian's father and gave birth to a son. Hence, she was able to ascend to the position. It involved the internal conflicts and fights within the clan, so I won't go into details.
Yesterday, I updated this chapter after a gathering with friends. There was a little situation, so I hope everyone can understand.
Originally, I thought that it would end today. I was preparing to update three chapters, but there was a little accident. I was delayed outside for a day. I can't refuse the kindness of my friends. As everyone knows, I am now at the hotel near the train station. I rushed to update one chapter at the last minute. Finally, I didn't miss the update, but I didn't finish the third chapter either.
Mission.
Including yesterday's and today's, I owe a total of two chapters. I will make up for it later. In June, I haven't missed a single day. I have at least two chapters every day. Everyone knows that. The beginning of July is really special. It's a gathering of classmates. I hope everyone can understand. I will definitely make up for the missed updates. (To be continued.)
