Goddess Helps Me Simulate Cultivation

Chapter 53: Is It Possible That This Is Done by a Demon Cultivator?

??

Interrogating an Immortal cultivator for the life or death of an ordinary person.

In the eyes of the other bailiffs of the county, Constable He’s behavior was crazy.

They could not afford to offend an Immortal cultivator!

Was it necessary to do so for an ordinary person?

That medicine shop assistant called Ah Cai merely lived in the countryside. He did not have any status or background.

His family did not have much money either.

For this kind of person... was it worth offending an Immortal cultivator?

However... After staying in the county office for so long and working with Constable He for so many years, they also knew his character.

Moreover, Constable He was also an Immortal cultivator. His authority in the County Office was very high.

They could only look worried and perturbed as they listened to Constable He continue to speak.

“Cultivator Bai, can I ask you, what were you doing last night?” Constable He asked in a serious tone.

“Eating and sleeping.” Bai Yi answered while ignoring the bailiffs of the County Office. He walked into the medicine shop.

Constable He followed behind him and entered.

Inside...

A strong smell of blood rushed into his nose, accompanied by a slight stench.

It made him frown.

Then... Bai Yi saw the scene described by Old Liu.

Puddles of blood dyed the ground a different color. He could also see many flies flying around. A coroner from the County Office was also in the medicine shop.

In front of the coroner was a thick straw mat. The straw mat was covered with pieces of corpses.

The coroner was stitching up the corpses piece by piece.

He was mumbling to himself, “I’m almost done with you. Don’t hold on to that resentment. Let it out. Have a good journey!”

Bai Yi could still see the spiritual talismans with yellow and red characters stuck on the stitched corpse.

There was a weak spiritual energy flowing on the spiritual talismans.

This coroner actually had spiritual energy fluctuations on his body!

However, his spiritual energy fluctuations were even weaker than constable he’s, and he was still one step away from reaching the first level of the Qi Refinement stage.

Bai Yi could recognize that the corpse was the pharmacist he knew, Ah Cai.

Constable He also glanced at the corpse and said, “After some people die, they have resentment in their hearts. This resentment will turn them into vengeful spirits and evil ghosts, harming their neighbors.”

“Sewing the corpse and suppressing it with yellow talismans is to prevent such a thing from happening.”

After he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted and laughed at himself. “I was careless and forgot. Cultivator Bai, you are much more powerful than me.”

He remembered that he could not see through Bai Yi’s cultivation, so it could only be said that Bai Yi was stronger than him.

It could be the second level of the Qi Refinement stage.

Or even higher.

Could such an Immortal cultivator not see what the coroner was doing?

Bai Yi keenly sensed everything in the medicine shop. He suddenly sensed a strange aura lingering on the corpse.

This aura made people feel somewhat uncomfortable, even if he was already an Immortal cultivator.

How should he put it...

It was somewhat similar to the aura emitted by the Blood Pearl that he had received as a reward.

The meaning of this aura was self-evident.

Bai Yi took the initiative and said, “Is it possible that this was not done by me, nor by Old Liu? But by the demon cultivator of Sacred Heart Palace that you mentioned to me yesterday afternoon, Constable He?”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Constable He was stunned for a moment before his expression suddenly changed. The County Coroner, who was sewing the corpse, also stopped what he was doing.

Two gazes.

Both were looking at Bai Yi.

“Cultivator Bai, could it be that you have seen something?” Constable He’s tone already carried a trace of anxiety and endless caution. “Demon cultivators of the Sacred Heart Palace? Could it be that you have discovered their traces?”

Bai Yi calmly replied, “I have sensed an aura that does not feel right. It remains in the medicine shop.”

Constable He looked at Bai Yi in a different light. He was able to see so many things at a glance, but these things were completely invisible to the bailiffs.

Did this mean that this cultivator Bai was stronger than he had imagined?

What was his cultivation level?

Constable He asked, “Cultivator Bai, can you trace that aura?”

“No.”

Bai Yi shook his head. “The aura stopped at the door. The other party should be proficient in concealing their aura. As for why they left behind some traces...”

“Perhaps it’s because the other party is injured, or perhaps it’s something else.”

Constable He sucked in a cold breath.

If it was really as Bai Yi said, causing trouble for the demon cultivators, then the problem would be serious.

Immortal cultivators of the Righteous path would usually reason with others, while the cultivators on the Demonic path did not usually have any reason. Most of them were bloodthirsty and had extreme personalities.

If it was really done by a demon cultivator...

Then it meant that... it was true that a demon cultivator of the Sacred Heart Palace was hiding in Qinghe County!

“If it’s really a demon cultivator, then what’s his purpose?” Constable he He frowned and muttered, “What’s there for them to covet a medicine shop? Or could it be that he simply wants to kill someone? Is it because this medicine shop assistant named Ah Cai is just unlucky?”

He looked at Bai Yi. It was as if Bai Yi, an Immortal cultivator who was unfathomable in his eyes, could give him an answer.

Regarding this...

Bai Yi simply said, “This is what your Imperial Court and County Yamen should investigate.”

To be able to give the other party a bit of a reminder, it could be said that Bai Yi admired Constable He quite a bit.

For the sake of the death of an ordinary person, the other party was able to question an Immortal cultivator.

It could be said that he was stupid, but it could not be said that he had a bad heart.

If Bai Yi had been another Immortal cultivator with a bad temper, Constable He’s corpse might have appeared in front of the County Yamen the next day.

“Why don’t you suspect me?” Bai Yi suddenly asked.

Constable He replied straightforwardly, “I’ve been observing cultivator Bai’s expression just now. When you were saying these things, you didn’t reveal the slightest clue. If cultivator Bai isn’t a person proficient in the Demonic Dao, then this matter has nothing to do with him.”

What a guy.

He was even a master of micro-expressions?

Immortal cultivators came in waves!

Constable He let out a heavy breath and cupped his hands toward Bai Yi. Then, he said, “Many thanks to cultivator Bai for coming here and pointing out the traces of the demon cultivators of Sacred Heart Palace. If the Imperial Court discovers the traces of the demon cultivators of Sacred Heart Palace and exterminates them, the County Office will remember cultivator Bai’s contribution.”

“Cultivator Bai can use this achievement to come to the County Yamen to borrow some Immortal cultivation manuals or exchange them for some medicinal pills to aid in cultivation.”

“...”

When Bai Yi and Constable He walked out, Old Liu could not wait to come over, his face full of eagerness.

“Young Master Bai, how is it? How is it?”

Bai Yi said, “It’s fine.”

“Whew–”

Old Liu immediately let out a heavy sigh of relief. He had heard many bad rumors about the County Yamen’s bailiffs, such as being tortured and beaten until they confessed.

Fortunately... He knew Young Master Bai!

“It’s best that your pharmacy is closed for a period of time. You don’t have to return to the medicine shop. The things involved are not something you can participate in.”

Bai Yi reminded Old Liu, “If you’re not careful, you’ll end up like Ah Cai.”

“Oh right, Ah Cai is a buddy you hired. Give his family a sum of money.”

Old Liu nodded hurriedly.

Bai Yi did not stay in the medicine shop for long. When he saw that Old Liu was safe, he left.

Bai Yi would get involved in matters related to him.

As for unrelated matters, he would leave them to the County Office.
