CHAPTER 953: CHAPTER 950: YIN YANG LIFE SPIRIT GRASS

Lin Tian opened his eyes but did not stop her; there was an anti-theft screen outside the balcony, so even if Zhao Ya was controlled, it was impossible for her to jump off.

If someone really wanted to kill her, they would have done it long ago, there was no need to wait for this moment.

Zhao Ya moved mechanically towards the outside as if she had lost her soul, like a sleepwalker or a puppet controlled by someone, her back looked just like a female ghost.

However, Lin Tian knew that Zhao Ya at this moment would look even more like a female ghost from the front, pale face, bloodshot eyes, disheveled hair; if someone walked in, they’d be scared to death.

Lin Tian was bold, having seen both Shishen and Fox Demon; such a small scene wouldn’t scare him, besides, if it really came to being frightening, his true form was the most terrifying.

Zhao Ya slowly walked to the balcony, directly approached the green flowerpot, picked it up with both hands, and turned back. As she turned, Lin Tian saw her front, her appearance was exactly like a female ghost.

She seemed to not notice Lin Tian’s presence at all, slowly walked towards the bedroom. Zhao Ya’s current state reminded Lin Tian of hypnotism.

It is said that advanced hypnotists can leave a reflex signal in people’s brains beforehand; whenever this person hears the signal later, they immediately enter a hypnotized state, such as a bell ringing or a finger snap.

Whether hypnotism or Southern Witchcraft, Zhao Ya was definitely tricked by someone, and it had a significant connection to that so-called Spiritual Cultivation Class.

Zhao Ya held the green flowerpot and returned to the bedroom, placed it on the table, and then took out something from under the table, which looked like a watering can.

She took the watering can and started watering the unidentified plant; at midnight, a woman looking like a female ghost watering potted plants; this picture was as eerie as it could get.

After watering, Zhao Ya seemingly ignored Lin Tian’s existence, climbed into bed and fell asleep. Her mechanical movements reminded Lin Tian of Zhenzi crawling out of the TV.

Damn it, this was like watching a real ghost movie unfold, Lin Tian thought to entertain himself.

After Zhao Ya fell asleep, Lin Tian turned off the TV and lights; the entire room plunged into dead silence, the faint light outside the window came in, making Zhao Ya’s bedroom bizarre and colorful.

Although the room was dark, Lin Tian’s vision wasn’t affected; even without the ability of night vision, he could still clearly see the situation in the room with his X-ray vision.

The mutation occurred the moment Zhao Ya fell asleep; that unidentified plant emitted red dots of light in the dark bedroom, accumulating into a fist-sized red light ball.

What is this? Lin Tian stayed motionless, just observing; he had examined this plant at noon, confirmed there were no issues, but now a red light ball was emerging!

Lin Tian trusted his X-ray vision greatly; he couldn’t have been mistaken at noon. If there was any problem, it must have been with the water in that watering can; from start to finish, except for the water, the plant hadn’t come into contact with anything else.

Therefore, Lin Tian was sure that it was the "water" touching the plant that caused some reaction, leading to the mutation; of course, that was definitely not ordinary water.

After the red light ball emerged, it started to rotate gently; during rotation, green light spots appeared from Zhao Ya’s body and were absorbed by the red light ball.

This is life energy! Lin Tian could feel it, those green spots were life energy; Zhao Ya’s life energy was being absorbed by this plant, or rather, the light ball emanating from the plant!

Obviously, someone had placed witchcraft on both the plant and Zhao Ya’s body, intending to extract Zhao Ya’s life energy while she was deep in slumber, completely oblivious.

Lin Tian checked Zhao Ya’s condition, she wasn’t in mortal danger, so he held back from intervening.

After absorbing the life energy, the red light ball didn’t seem to digest it but transferred it directly to the plant below, which got an infusion of life energy and started to shine dimly with green light.

As the green light flickered, the branches and leaves began to grow; the branches elongated, leaves enlarged, and the originally slender leaves became oval with added serrations.

This is...? Seeing the plant’s transformation, Lin Tian was shocked because this plant greatly resembled a plant recorded in "Shennong Emperor’s Medical Scripture."

That plant was the Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass, and the fruit it bore was the Yin Yang Life Fruit! Lin Tian finally connected the notes in "Shennong Emperor’s Medical Scripture" about the Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass.

The Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass grows in Burial Mounds or cemeteries, and not just any cemetery can nurture it; it has to be a cemetery burying many people.

Especially in ancient cold weapon warfare days, the victorious side often buried prisoners to reduce their burden, as recorded in history; Bai Qi of the Warring States period once buried tens of thousands of Zhao Country soldiers alive, known as "Killer Bai Qi."

Such mass graves, having too many corpses, are heavily laden with death energy, making them prone to the appearance of Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass because that’s precisely the kind of death energy it absorbs to grow.

In modern society, it’s impossible for such Burial Mounds or mass graves to exist; hence Lin Tian previously concluded that Yin Yang Life Fruit was nearly extinct, as without the Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass, how would one find the Yin Yang Life Fruit? But Lin Tian didn’t expect to encounter a plant at Zhao Ya’s house.

However, even with Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass, bearing fruit is extraordinarily difficult. To bear fruit, the plant must grow enough, then be transplanted from the cemetery to an inhabited indoor space, with the soil used being cemetery soil.

After the Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass matures, it absorbs less death energy and begins to absorb human energy, namely the essence, energy, and spirit from humans instead; this mutual transformation is one origin of its name.

Transplanted indoors, it absorbs the inhabitants’ human energy, simply put, it absorbs life energy, but this process is very slow and not considerably harmful to humans. Gradually, enough life energy is amassed, and a fruit forms at the top, the Yin Yang Life Fruit.

Therefore, naturally forming the Yin Yang Life Fruit is extremely difficult, but this fruit is highly practical and valuable, prompting some to resort to unorthodox ways to hasten its growth.

Lin Tian didn’t anticipate encountering this; it was evident that Zhao Ya was being exploited, or rather, used as fertilizer; an expert utilized witchcraft to quickly grow the Yin Yang Life Fruit.

The substance in that watering can must trigger witchcraft; Lin Tian had never seen it before and didn’t know what it was.

Lin Tian could wait for the red light ball to finish absorbing Zhao Ya’s life energy, then the Yin Yang Life Fruit would bear, allowing the old man’s leg to walk again.

But Lin Tian’s conscience wouldn’t permit him to do that, so he dashed out, lunging towards the red light ball.
