“Mom, I brought Leo to see Dad.” Madame looked at her mother.
“Leo? Can he cure illness?” Edwina’s face showed surprise.
Madame nodded. “Of course, he is a famous doctor from Langstel. Leo, please take a look and tell me how my father is doing.”
The reason why Madame wanted Leo to treat Marsh was that his illness was very strange. The hospital had tried many advanced treatments but none of them worked.
Madame trusted Leo’s medical skills. Not only did she know that he had cured many high-ranking officials in Langstel, but she herself had also been treated by him before.
“Leo, what’s wrong with my dad? Please speak up!” Madame became anxious when she saw Leo standing by the bed in silence.
Instead of answering her question, Leo looked at Edwina and asked, “Mrs. Godwin, has Mr. Godwin met anyone special recently or done anything unusual?”
“Well… there doesn’t seem to be anything special. He just goes to work every day and spends time researching antiques…”
Marsh shared the same hobby as Martin – they both loved antiques.
As Edwina spoke, she suddenly remembered something else, “Oh yeah! A few days ago he made friends with a new antique enthusiast and went to his house for a visit. The next day he suddenly fainted.”
Leo nodded and pointed at the Bodhi bracelet on Marsh’s wrist. “Mrs. Godwin, where did he get this bracelet?”
“Well, it’s been a long time. Marsh said he obtained it by trading antiques with an old monk. According to the monk, the item has the power to ward off evil, so Marsh has been wearing it all this time,” Edwina replied.
Leo’s speculation began to take shape – Marsh was most likely being targeted by a Ghost Cultivator.
A Ghost Cultivator, as the name suggests, is someone who practices ghost cultivation, similar to a Demon Cultivator who practices demonic cultivation.
While the path of cultivation encompasses many avenues, it is not limited to immortal cultivation alone.
As for why Marsh would be targeted by a Ghost Cultivator, it was because he possessed multiple souls from birth.
A person has three souls and seven spirits, and someone with multiple souls from birth possesses an additional soul that is different from others. For men, this extra soul is the Yang Soul, while for women, it is the Yin Soul.
Among thousands of people, there might be one person who possesses multiple souls from birth.
In reality, a person with multiple souls from birth is not much different from a normal person and will still experience life and death as usual.
The only notable difference is when it comes to Demon Cultivators or Ghost Cultivators.
If it’s a man with multiple souls from birth, his innate aura contains an extremely Yang energy, while for a woman with multiple souls from birth, her innate aura contains an extremely Yin energy.
Whether it’s the extreme Yang energy or the extreme Yin energy, it is highly sought after by Demon Cultivators and Ghost Cultivators.
They possess special techniques that can refine the extreme Yang or extreme Yin energy and use it to enhance their own cultivation.
In simpler terms, a person with multiple souls from birth can elevate the cultivation of a Demon Cultivator or Ghost Cultivator by at least one small realm.
Therefore, individuals with multiple souls from birth have always been the coveted targets of Demon Cultivators and Ghost Cultivators.
If it weren’t for the protection of the Stellar Palace bracelet on Marsh’s wrist, he would have died a long time ago, even before Madame and Leo arrived.
Thanks to the protection of the bracelet, the Ghost Cultivator couldn’t immediately absorb Marsh’s vitality and souls when targeting him.
The Stellar Palace bracelet on Marsh’s wrist was a well-empowered high-grade magical artifact.
The bodhi tree has a natural restraining effect on Ghost Cultivators, especially when the bodhi tree has been consecrated by a Buddhist master. It is something that Ghost Cultivators greatly fear.
The old monk who exchanged the bracelet with Marsh must have seen that Marsh was a person with multiple souls from birth.
Although Marsh had the protection of the bodhi bracelet, once he was targeted by the Ghost Cultivator, the Ghost Cultivator would never let him go. Thus, the Ghost Cultivator implanted a sinister aura in Marsh’s body.
The urgent task at hand was to remove the sinister aura from Marsh’s body.
Leo turned to Edwina and said, The reason why he is in this coma is because he’s being targeted by something unclean. I have a way to resolve it.”
“Ah?” Edwina looked shocked, unable to digest the fact that Leo just revealed.
“Leo, please, you must save my father.” After spending some time getting to know Leo, Madame firmly believed in his words.
Leo nodded, “I’ll go out now and buy some ritual items. It’s best not to let anyone disturb him until I come back.”
The surface of the bracelet on Marsh’s wrist had already cracked, but it should hold up for another seven or eight hours.
The Ghost Cultivator wouldn’t appear until the bracelet was damaged by the sinister aura.
Leaving the hospital, Leo hailed a taxi and headed straight to the antique street in the capital.
After buying the necessary items, Leo made another trip to the vegetable market, where he found a farmer selling chickens and bought a big rooster.
Time passed minute by minute, and Madame and Edwina in the hospital room were restless.
When they saw Leo return to the room, holding a big rooster in his hand, both of them were taken aback.
“Leo, what is this?” Edwina asked, puzzled.
Time was precious, and Leo didn’t want to explain too much. He spoke with an unquestionable tone, “Mrs. Godwin, Madame, please step outside for a moment and close the door. No one is allowed in without my permission.”
Edwina hesitated and hesitated, after all, as a materialist and an atheist, she didn’t believe in any supernatural forces.
Madame pulled Edwina out of the room and told her to listen to Leo.
Leo approached the bedside with the rooster in hand. The rooster seemed to sense something and struggled.
Leo comforted it in a low voice, “Rooster, rooster, today I will use you to save a life. This is a great merit. In your next life, you will be born into a wealthy family. Don’t be afraid.”
Oddly enough, as soon as Leo finished speaking, the rooster quieted down in his hand.
Leo lifted the blanket on Marsh’s body and placed the rooster on his stomach.
The rooster remained calm, squatting quietly on Marsh’s belly.
Then Leo took out a Bagua mirror from his bag and placed it facing Marsh’s head at the bedside.
He also took out a wolf-hair brush, cinnabar, and rootless water from his bag. He mixed the cinnabar with the rootless water and used the brush to draw on Marsh’s forehead.
In no time, Leo finished drawing a strange rune on Marsh’s forehead.
