Chapter 7, The First Enlightenment

The evidence is in, and the criminal cannot escape; this lightning operation can be deemed a perfect conclusion

Unfortunately, this ghost assistance system seems to lack the intelligence typically found in protagonist systems in novels; otherwise, he would really like to say MMP to express his current feelings

Heaven is clear and the earth is spiritual, I command with my words, open

After an unknown period, Chen Hao's phone suddenly rang, but unfortunately, Chen Hao was in a coma and could not hear it. Subsequently, the ringtone also ceased.

Feeling the emptiness of his own cultivation, Chen Hao was left speechless.

Chen Hao was astonished, is this the layer of spiritual light from the opening of divine powers? Damn, I have no cultivation; if I had cultivation, I could directly use it to open the light, and this spiritual light would definitely be stronger. If the cultivation were sufficient, with the blessing of the treasure light, even ordinary wood could be transformed into a top-grade magical artifact

An hour later, Chen Hao left and returned to the rental apartment

Upon reflecting on this, Chen Hao's mood immediately changed significantly

Chen Hao let out a sigh

Oh! There is one more?

Well, it seems that I can only give up once. The first jade Buddha is best given to Tongtong, and this second one will be kept for personal use.

Well, during the novice period, there should be no need for fighting and killing; it is sufficient to protect oneself. After all, one is helping the spirits, not going to kill them

The feeling of being spiritually deprived resurfaced once again. This time, Chen Hao focused on the bracelet in his hand, clearly seeing the ordinary peach wood bracelet emit a flash of white light for just an instant before it vanished. Then, the bracelet began to emanate a different aura.

Peach wood can protect the body and ensure safety

Consecration

After rarely being generous enough to take a taxi, Chen Hao arrived at a small commodity street

At the same time, the function of the Jade Buddha also emerged in Chen Hao's mind, serving as a protective charm and warding off evil. This is the ability bestowed by the consecration and spiritual empowerment.

It seems that I was still too optimistic; the so-called three consecrations may perhaps represent my limit.

However, in order to unleash the divine power of light, one requires the support of Taoist cultivation

Let me think about what would be best to consecrate; it cannot be too casual for the first time

If this is really to be done, I fear that the body will also suffer greatly

The first time doing the task was fortunate, as I encountered Liu Yue'e, a ghost who is easily deceived

All of this involved the funds from the petty cash, which, although totaling just over 200, reminded Chen Hao of the more than 3,000 dollars he had lost for no reason

Like an illusion, Chen Hao discovered that the jade Buddha in his hand was emanating a white light. Upon closer inspection, the light vanished, yet the jade Buddha felt subtly different, as if its texture had changed. Holding it in his hand provided a faint sense of security.

Well, three consecrated spiritual items are quite a lot, after all they are genuine. Compared to the deceptive trinkets produced by those fake masters, these consecrated spiritual items are undoubtedly priceless. Selling just one casually could allow one to live a carefree life

Chen Hao was overjoyed, but soon his expression changed, feeling a bit dizzy in front of him, and his head felt somewhat foggy

It is simple because it involves directly applying the divine light without any other complicated rituals or prerequisites, comparable to the convenience of an automatic transmission car

Three items, yet Chen Hao selected them with great care

As the incantation was recited, Chen Hao instantly sensed that a part of his abundant spirit was being stripped away, entering into the jade Buddha in his hand

Succeeded

Is this what it feels like to exhaust one's spirit? It is truly unpleasant

Casting aside the gloom in his heart, Chen Hao picked up the jade Buddha, preparing to consecrate it.

I originally thought that by acquiring supernatural powers, I would be able to wholesale spiritual objects in large quantities, thus making a fortune, marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reaching the pinnacle of life

The second time cannot rely solely on luck; one must employ some means, otherwise how can one subdue a ghost? Moreover, what should be done when encountering unreasonable evil spirits or fierce ghosts? Therefore, to safely complete the task, one must also be sufficiently strong and able to confront challenges head-on

The jade Buddha is intended as a gift for Zhou Gang's daughter, after all, it is a promise I made. Moreover, cultivating a good relationship with Zhou Gang, this police officer, brings numerous benefits to me, making it a worthwhile investment

Which one is better to choose

It is as if an inanimate object has suddenly come to life

Repeatedly sorting and organizing the knowledge of spiritual empowerment and enlightenment

Copper coins can harm ghosts and can confront them directly

This is the harvest of Chen Hao after sweeping through the small commodity street

The accepted consecration of spiritual powers does not necessarily require the support of Taoist cultivation; it can also be manifested through one's own pure intention. However, frequent use of such manifestations can cause certain harm to the body, making it not worth the effort.

After a moment of silent contemplation, Chen Hao smiled slightly, having come up with an idea

The prayer bead bracelet and the copper coin sword are for Chen Hao's personal use

After a while, the feeling of dizziness dissipated, but there remained a sense of heaviness in the body, as if one were quite fatigued

Well, what abilities does this bracelet possess? Protection, warding off evil, and nurturing the spirit

Suppressing his excitement, Chen Hao took out a jade Buddha, a string of peach wood bracelets, and a half-foot-long red-threaded copper coin sword from the bag

This struck a blow to Chen Hao's inflated ego

Chen Hao's gaze fell upon the bracelet and the copper coin sword

The entire process of consecration and spiritual empowerment is complex when described in detail, yet it is simple when viewed from a broader perspective

Damn it, the more I think about it, the more it hurts. It would be best if I never see you again, otherwise there will be consequences

Calming his mind, with a heart as still as water, Chen Hao held the jade Buddha and silently recited the incantation for consecration.

Complexity arises from the numerous descriptions of consecration, which have different empowering effects depending on the specific items involved

Chen Hao secretly cursed under his breath and quickly sat down in a cross-legged position, calming his mind and spirit

Having fully absorbed the knowledge of the consecration of magical powers, Chen Hao estimated that with his current physical condition, he could support the consecration of at most three small items; any more than that would not only be unsuccessful but could also pose a threat to his life

He has no means of cultivation and can only rely on his physical strength to endure

Upon reflection, Chen Hao chose the peach wood bracelet

Certainly, for Chen Hao, who lacks any skills, it seems there is no third option available

As for spells, there are none at the moment, but it is always possible to create two ordinary magical artifacts

After a long while, Chen Hao exhaled deeply, his gaze flickering uncertainly

Moreover, after each consecration, a period of recuperation is required; otherwise, it may harm the fundamental essence of the body

As for the subsequent impacts arising from the actions and the capture of Wang Hu, that is no longer a concern for Chen Hao

It appears that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to make efforts

According to Chen Hao's previous understanding, this thing is merely a means for so-called masters to deceive their followers and extort money from them

Of course, Chen Hao was not completely in despair either

After parting ways with Zhou Gang, Chen Hao began to review the rewards for this task

The jade Buddha was priced at 66, the peach wood bracelet at 85, and the copper coin sword was the most expensive, costing 120. However, the copper coins on the sword are genuine copper coins, but they belong to the type that is sold by weight and are not valuable, being Qing Dynasty copper coins. Chen Hao also considered that he was not engaged in a one-time transaction, as he would still rely on the Ghost Assisting for Fun system to acquire more supernatural abilities in the future, which is why he purchased this copper coin sword for potential future needs

Just as he was deep in thought, Chen Hao suddenly felt very sleepy and exhausted, and then collapsed onto the bed, losing consciousness.

Opening the light is not merely a means, but a truly profound and infinitely useful divine ability

However, it was only after Chen Hao received the award that he realized

After taking another brief rest, Chen Hao felt somewhat better and picked up the peach wood bracelet. He silently recited the incantation for consecration once more

Heaven is clear and the earth is spiritual, I command with my words, open
