I rely on unlimited life extension

Lin Feng watched as Cheng Yi slaughtered everyone in his path. Under the power of his Ghost-Subduing Golden Needles, not a single evil spirit could withstand two blows.

It must be said that within the Pure Lotus Domain, the restraining effect of the Ghost-Subduing Golden Needle is more than doubled. Weaker evil ghosts and yin spirits are burned to ashes by the Ninefold True Fire as soon as the Ghost-Subduing Golden Needle is used, before it even gets close.

Even the strongest female ghost with disheveled hair could only last two more rounds before being burned to ashes by the Brahma's Netherflame.

The battle was uneventful and lasted less than half an hour. The two reached the top floor and watched as the Ghost-Subduing Golden Needle annihilated the last ghost.

A system notification sounded in Cheng Yi's mind: "You punished 31 evil spirits in Maple Forest Building, triggering the 'annihilation of the entire family' achievement, and the drop rate has been doubled."

You have received a special reward for wiping out an entire family: ownership of the Hong Kong International Finance Centre Tower in the real world. You don't have to worry about anything; all you have to do is collect 100 billion in rent every year.

You have gained 750 system energy points, 8000 hours of life time, 1 free attribute point, and one golden orb.

Cheng Yi opened the ball of light, and the system prompted: "You have obtained a modified version of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill manual. After being modified by Shui Lingguang, cultivation can reach the highest level of defense, the Demon Subduing True Body, indestructible and unshakable! In terms of attack, the extremely powerful and yang Wedding Dress True Qi can be freely controlled and manipulated, and can be enhanced with heavenly thunder and earthly fire effects at will, sweeping away thousands of troops!"

"No way, you gave me the Wedding Dress Divine Skill a few days ago, and now you're giving me another one?" Cheng Yi was filled with surprise.

As Cheng Yi was about to go downstairs, Lin Feng said, "What are you going to do?"

"Once you've dealt with these evil spirits, come downstairs!"

"What's the rush? It's only been half an hour. You think you can just stroll around for a bit and be done with it? Do you think she'll praise your magical powers or your unparalleled benevolence?"

Or perhaps she thinks her building isn't haunted at all, or that you're just bluffing and scamming her out of a whole floor?

Cheng Yi was bewildered and asked, "Then, what should I do?"

"Idiot, why would our daughter like you? Can't you make a show of force? Let people see or hear how powerful this evil spirit is?"

Cheng Yi's eyes lit up, and he casually pulled out two homemade bombs, throwing them into a stairwell. With a "boom," they exploded, followed by explosions in several other rooms. The landlord, Roland, who was looking up from downstairs, was terrified and kept chanting Buddhist prayers.

Lin Feng nodded and smiled, "You're a quick learner, I'll remember that."

Cheng Yi sighed helplessly and said, "Uncle Feng, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go take a look at the other six buildings."

After saying that, he disappeared into the shadows.

Lin Feng, having made himself look disheveled, went downstairs, thinking about how to raise the price on the spot.

It took Cheng Yi, who was flying stealthily in the sky, a full twenty minutes to finally take a close look at the remaining six buildings with the help of the powerful Sky Eye.

After careful observation, he finally confirmed that the Jiajia Building was not the world full of crisis and horror that he remembered.

At least under his clairvoyance, no one he remembered as being of vital importance appeared, such as Wang Zhenzhen, Ma Xiaoling, the father and son surnamed Kuang, or Jin Zhengzhong and Aping.

He felt a little more at ease, after all, that world that was constantly facing the threat of annihilation was far too dangerous.

Cheng Yi thought to himself, "Let whoever wants to go, go ahead. I'm not going to take that risk and deal with Yaochi, Jiang Chen, Destiny, Dizang, or even that strongest zombie, Ma Xiaoling. It's not like I'm tired of living."

Suddenly, Cheng Yi, who was flying in the air, froze. His gaze was drawn to a group of people sitting on the ground in the park, passing firecrackers around in a rather strange manner.

Cheng Yi's heart jolted, and he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, the Night of Return of the Soul?"

Filled with doubt, he quietly landed on the ground and cautiously walked towards the group of people.

Just then, the man in the middle who was speaking, with a buzz cut, sunglasses, and a trench coat, seemed to sense something. He suddenly turned around, his gaze sharp as lightning, and stared intently in the direction where Cheng Yi was.

"No way? Dude, I'm invisible, how could you still see me? You're something else, Leo."

Cheng Yi was secretly surprised, but since he had already been discovered, he simply revealed himself, walked over confidently, extended his hand to Leo, and said in a friendly manner, "What's your name?"

Leo looked at Cheng Yi and extended his hand in return, asking, "Leo, what's your name?"

"Cheng Yi".

"Oh, number one?"

"You're welcome."

Leo asked with a curious look, "Can you tell me how you managed to come out so quickly?"

Cheng smiled and explained, "Oh, I flew over while invisible."

"Oh, it flew over stealthily. Actually, I'm almost able to fly too, but my aircraft isn't finished yet. I'll work on it tonight and finish it, then I can fly too." Leo's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Okay, let me see when it's done," Cheng Yi replied with a smile.

"You believe I can build an aircraft?" Leo seemed somewhat surprised.

“Of course, if I can fly, there’s no reason why you can’t,” Cheng Yi said confidently.

“Insightful, we can exchange ideas. My name is Leo,” Leo emphasized again.

"My name is Cheng Yi."

"Number One Brother?"

"You're welcome."

The two shook hands firmly again, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding in that handshake.

Cheng Yi continued, "Just now, I saw you guys playing a game, didn't you?"

Leo nodded and said, "We're testing our courage."

"Why do we need to train our courage?" Cheng Yi pressed.

"Because there's a couple in our building who have become vengeful ghosts. In a couple of nights, it will be their night of return. They will definitely come to kill us for revenge. Let's prepare ourselves and fight them to the death," Leo said solemnly.

"Really? Then count me in, okay? I'm a Taoist priest, I specialize in catching ghosts." Cheng Yi volunteered.

"A Taoist priest? But you're not wearing a Taoist robe." Leo looked Cheng Yi up and down, his eyes full of doubt.

"I'm the kind who doesn't wear Taoist robes, I'm a lay Taoist priest, the kind who can eat meat, drink alcohol, and get married," Cheng Yi explained patiently.

“Oh, then we’re pretty much the same. I’m from a mental hospital,” Leo said.

"Mental hospitals are great! I've heard there are many scholars and scientists there," Cheng Yi praised.

“Of course, we have many such talents in our mental hospital. When you come over, I’ll introduce you to them,” Leo said enthusiastically.

"Thanks, you guys keep practicing your courage. I'm leaving now. Oh, by the way, this is my phone number. Call me if you need anything."

After saying that, Cheng Yi threw out a business card with his name and phone number on it, leaped into the air, activated his flying skill again, and with a "whoosh," flew away like a shooting star.

Leo, lying on the ground, looked on with envy and muttered to himself, "I'll definitely work overtime tonight to design the aircraft."

He looked back at the group of people who were stunned by Cheng Yi's flying performance, shook his head helplessly, sighed, and said, "You're making a fuss over nothing, a bunch of bumpkins."

Cheng Yi used his flying skills and flew towards the first building.

As he approached, he suddenly felt a strong pang in his heart, as if an invisible danger was quietly approaching.

He looked around warily, his eyes scanning every corner like an eagle's, but he found nothing unusual.

However, when he arrived at the building entrance, the strange feeling became even stronger.

It was a sweltering summer day outside, with the blazing sun baking the earth and the air itself seeming to be on fire.

But the closer he got to the building, the more he felt a chill, as if a pair of cold hands were gently caressing his skin.

Inside the building, it was dark, damp, and chilly, a stark contrast to the sweltering heat outside, making one shiver involuntarily.

Cheng Yi took a few steps forward and saw two men approaching, talking in hushed tones. Upon seeing them, Cheng Yi paused slightly.

"Fat Cat and Vaseline?" Cheng Yi was startled. "How did they end up together?"

Seeing them in security uniforms, Cheng Yi's heart skipped a beat. "Could it be such a coincidence? Could it be 'The Haunted House'? That movie that's supposed to scare people to death? The movie that once scared my college classmate so much that he was afraid to go to the bathroom alone at night?"

Alarm bells rang in Cheng Yi's mind. He stopped and, after a moment's thought, turned and followed the two outside.

Once outside, Cheng quickened his pace, called out to the two men in front of him, and asked, "Are you the security guards of this building?"

Hearing the shout, the two stopped and nodded.

Cheng Yi then asked, "May I ask what your names are?"

The two exchanged a glance and then revealed their names.

The man who looked a lot like Vaseline said, "My name is Zhang Jingqiang, just call me A-Qiang."

The chubby cat chuckled, "Just call me Fatty. What's your name?"

"My name is Cheng Yi, you can call me A-Yi. I'd like to ask, what's this building like? Are the residents easy to get along with?" Cheng Yi asked calmly.

Fatty looked Cheng Yi up and down curiously and said, "What? You want to buy a house here?"

Cheng Yi smiled slightly and said, "Yes, the housing prices here are alright, aren't they?"

Fatty scratched his head and said, "The house prices are so-so. But, to be fair, we've only been working here for less than a week, so we don't know the residents very well yet. But I always feel that the residents here are a bit strange. They always look down when they look at people, and they seem mysterious."

Zhang Jingqiang chimed in, "We're off work now, so we're not going to talk to you anymore. If you want to know more, you can ask the residents here."

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Are you going home? Where are you staying? I'll drive you there."

Just as Zhang Jingqiang was about to decline, Fatty pulled him into the car, muttering, "Hey, they're just being kind, don't refuse."

Cheng Yi first took Fatty home, then turned around to see Zhang Jingqiang off.

Zhang Jingqiang was a little embarrassed at first, but after Cheng Yi's enthusiastic invitation, he finally agreed.

On the way, Zhang Jingqiang looked at Cheng Yi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Cheng, you don't seem like someone who wants to buy a house!"

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "Yes, I didn't expect you to see through me. Actually, I'm a Taoist priest who specializes in exorcising demons and catching ghosts. There's something very wrong with your building."

Zhang Jingqiang was stunned, his eyes wide open, and he muttered, "No way?"

Cheng Yi smiled, his gaze gentle yet revealing an undeniable firmness, and said, "Then let me ask you, think carefully, since you came to this building to work as a security guard, have many strange things happened in your home, your surroundings, and your colleagues?"

Zhang Jingqiang instinctively wanted to deny it, but under the effect of Cheng Yi's eloquent words, his thoughts seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and he involuntarily began to recall.

The more he thought about it, the more puzzled and frightened he became.

The frequently tripping circuit breakers and lights seemed to be deliberately causing trouble by an invisible hand; the elevator that almost drowned and changed color exuded an indescribable eeriness; the dead black dog seemed to foreshadow some kind of misfortune; the choked mouth died a gruesome death; the captain who suffocated died a bizarre death.

This series of bizarre events, like a tightly interconnected net, enveloped him completely.

Who will be next to die? Will it be him or Fatty? Fear surged into his heart like a tide, and his body began to tremble slightly.

He was terrified and instinctively grabbed Cheng Yi's arm, his eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

Cheng Yi looked at Zhang Jingqiang with a serious expression and said, "Don't worry, as long as you're with me, I'll keep you safe. However, it seems you've messed with more than just one evil spirit. Who else is in your family?"

Zhang Jingqiang said in a trembling voice, "I have another wife."

Cheng Yi frowned slightly and said, "If you only have a wife, that's easy to handle. What I'm worried about is if you have children."

As if struck by something, Zhang Jingqiang instinctively replied, "My wife is pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi's expression instantly turned serious, and he quickly said, "Quickly, give me directions."

Zhang Jingqiang suddenly realized what was happening and quickly gave Cheng Yi directions.

The car sped off like an arrow, and the two of them flew back to Zhang Jingqiang's home in no time.

Pushing open the door, I saw Zhang Jingqiang's heavily pregnant wife sitting on the sofa, her eyes glued to the television.

Cheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Luckily, I made it in time."

Zhang Jingqiang looked anxious and asked, "What happened to my wife and children?"

Cheng Yi said solemnly, "From the moment you stepped into this building, you and your family have fallen into the trap of vengeful spirits. They want to possess your wife's body, and they want to be reincarnated as your son."

Zhang Jingqiang was so frightened that he was terrified, his face ashen. Just as he was about to question Cheng Yi in detail, he suddenly heard a creaking sound, as if an old wooden board was groaning in pain.

He turned around and saw his wife's face was ashen, her expression blank like a puppet. She slowly looked at Cheng Yi, and then a child's shrill voice came from her mouth: "What's it to you? You dare to meddle? Don't you want to live?"

Cheng Yi never expected that the wronged spirit would actually follow him back, or rather, that it had arrived even earlier than him.

However, Zhang Jingqiang was terrified and said blankly, "Wife, what are you saying? Why does your voice sound like that?"

As he spoke, he walked up to her and tentatively reached out to take her hand.

But Cheng Yi pulled him back and said loudly, "Don't go over there, she's not your wife anymore."
