I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 109: Bottleneck of Practice, Mayfair Witch
The demon, having made up his mind, began to use blood resonance to make Ron, who was far away, fall asleep, sneak into her dreams and create illusions.

But soon, he opened his eyes and gritted his teeth!
Not only was the blood contract suppressed, but now he couldn't even try to enter Ron's dream and induce him.

A powerful shielding force continuously bounced his will away.

Now, he couldn't even get close to Ron!

He always appeared elegant, but he was extremely angry.

This power, this breath!
He'd felt it before!
It was that guy, the one who took away the soul of the astrologer who had a contract with him.

In such a short time, his plan was ruined again!

hateful! hateful!
He must tear the other party into pieces!
It took a while for the demon to calm down.

The hope of luring Ron back through dreams is no longer feasible.

All he could do now was to do his best to help her mother, the woman in front of him, to escape from the family's captivity!
Far away in Los Angeles, Su Fan had no idea that he had made the devil so angry that he almost lost his mind.

Because at this time he was obsessed with cultivation and couldn't extricate himself.

[You regulate your breathing and focus your mind, looking inward, and the amount of Qi in your body rises again.]

[The Qi in your body has begun to gradually change, and you feel that you have vaguely touched a shackle. ]

[Jade Purity Realm: 9%]

A prompt sounded in his mind, and Su Fan stopped regulating his breathing and opened his eyes.

It looks like a breakthrough is coming.

This was the first time that Su Fan felt a bottleneck in his practice so far, but he did not feel distressed at all. Instead, he felt relieved.

Being too smooth sailing is not the way to practice. Now that you have touched the shackles, it is a good thing.

Although this bottleneck will break at the slightest touch.

In his spare time, Su Fan couldn't help but start thinking about his own realm.

According to Taoist legend, the highest-ranking among the Three Pure Ones is the Jade Pure Yuanshi Tianzun who lives in the Jade Pure Realm, followed by the Upper Pure Lingbao Tianzun, and then the Great Pure Taishang Laojun.

It was obviously impossible for him to directly cross two realms...

Then why is Yuqing Realm the first?
Su Fan was thinking while flipping through the book.

By chance, I came across "Nine Songs" written by Qu Yuan.

During the Warring States Period, Qu Yuan was trusted by King Huai of Chu in his early years and was in charge of internal and external affairs, one of the most important activities being sacrifice.

The Nine Songs is actually a collection of ritual music specially used for sacrificial ceremonies that he compiled and edited.

The first chapter is about the famous Donghuang Taiyi.

He is the supreme god in the mythology and legends of the Chu State.

A sudden idea came to Su Fan's mind.

The name of this realm may not refer to a certain stage, but a worship order similar to the Nine Songs.

The order of the chapters of Jiuge is based on the status of the gods.

Therefore, the Supreme God Donghuang Taiyi is chosen as the first chapter of the Nine Songs.

The same is true for Su Fan's realm division.

First worship the Jade Pure Yuanshi Tianzun, then the Upper Pure Lingbao Tianzun, and finally the Great Pure Daode Tianzun...
-
While the devil was furious, another group of people began to act secretly.

Ron's adoptive mother, a woman suffering from cancer, did not rest and recuperate, but instead dialed a number.

"New Orleans Office."

"I need to speak to the person in charge of my daughter's file, but I'm sorry, I don't know his name."

On the other end of the phone, a woman stood up and asked Ron's adoptive mother's name as she walked away.

"Elena Fielding."

After getting the answer, the woman turned the huge door of the archive room and took out a file.

Gave Elena a response.

"He's not here now, but I can pass the message on for you."

"Please tell him that my daughter feels that she has hurt others with her mind, so I need this agent to help me go to New Orleans and see if there has been any change."

After hanging up the phone, Elena took a deep breath.

She just wants her daughter to grow up happily.

But unfortunately, the contract between the Mayfair family and the devil eventually extended to her... Soon, a black man named Cyprien began to move.

He quickly rushed to the Mayfair family mansion in New Orleans, but found nothing unusual.

The demon is still in the ancestral home and shows no signs of leaving.

He immediately went to where Ron lived.

A small boat docked in the harbor, touching things that Ron had used.

This behavior seems a bit perverted, but in fact, he is just using his special abilities to investigate the owner of the ship.

See if she becomes addicted to her power and uses it to intentionally hurt others.

However, the scene he saw was somewhat fragmented.

At the beginning, Ron was indeed tormented by guilt for not being able to control his own abilities and hurting other people. He tossed and turned on the boat at night, unable to fall asleep.

He could even feel the fear and anxiety.

But after coming back from one outing, the girl fell into a peaceful sleep as if nothing had happened.

What is the reason for such a huge change?
Cyprien didn't know, but it was his mission to find out.

Just at this moment, a call came from the organization.

The other party asked about Cyprien's investigation and fell silent after listening to the latter's account.

"Perhaps, someone we don't know about is involved in Ron's incident."

"Who could it be? The Holy See?"

"I don't know, but at least it won't be a witch hunter."

“Asking directly is the quickest way to find out.”

"Are you sure? She can kill people with her telekinesis now. If she becomes emotionally unstable, the consequences will be disastrous."

"She still has at least the right to know. I will be more careful."

Cyprien looked not far away.

Ron, who had been busy all day, was walking towards the small harbor where his boat was.
-
Su Fan, who had been reading for the whole afternoon, lay in the rocking chair.

Rocking the chair leisurely, Su Fan's mind began to reflect on Ron who came to visit him today.

Doctor... telekinesis... mysterious power... devil... blood contract...

I always feel like I've seen a work with a similar setting somewhere.

Wait a moment.

The chair sways a little less.

Isn't this the Mayfair Witch?
A work in the Eternal Life series, set in the same world as Interview with the Vampire.

However, the protagonist of this series is no longer the immortal Dark Night vampires, but a witch.

Su Fan had not watched the entire series, but had roughly read the plot and knew the outline.

Basically, the devil signed a contract with a family in order to fulfill the ancient prophecy of his own resurrection, which led to a series of events.

"Tsk..."

Su Fan couldn't help but click his tongue.

The logic and moral values ​​of many characters in the work are different from those of ordinary people.

Not only that, there are also witch hunters with abnormal brains, which is also quite outrageous.

Su Fan began to carefully consider the interests involved.

His enemy is the demon who gave the Mayfair family power, named Lasher.

Su Fan was not very clear about his past and origins.

But what is certain is that the power of the entire Mayfair family comes from him.

Without Lasher's help, they would not have their current wealth and status.

If he wanted to kill the other person, would it provoke an attack from this group of people?
Family is something that will grow back if you don't root it out, especially for someone with a mental problem...

After a long time, a soliloquy was heard in the antique shop.

"Or is it all over?"
