Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Yidao completed the task after Zhang Ermao’s funeral, receiving a skill and two treasure boxes.

It seemed that these were the standard rewards for completing follow-up missions now.

Perhaps he would need to wait for a system upgrade for other rewards to appear?

As for temporary tasks, Li Yidao was currently puzzled.

After completing two temporary tasks, he hadn’t encountered any more.Please visit fr𝐞𝐞wn.𝒸o𝔪 website to read fastest update

Could it be that his lifespan was being consumed too slowly?

As a result, the system gave him fewer missions?

However, Li Yidao was cautious about his lifespan, which was just over a thousand years now.

He didn’t want to use it casually, considering the Grim Reaper’s Protection, a passive skill that could potentially consume a significant amount of lifespan.

What if there were hundreds or thousands of people plotting against him?

It wasn’t an impossible scenario, right?

The skill he obtained upon completing this task was called “Soul Gathering.”

[Soul Gathering: Can form souls by consuming a certain amount of lifespan. Advanced ability “Soul Seizure” can be used by consuming ten times the lifespan of the Soul Gathering. “Soul Seizure” can be used to manipulate the formed spirits at will.]

To be honest, Li Yidao was quite puzzled when he saw this skill.

What kind of skill was this?

It seemed like the system was enabling him to grow in all aspects.

First, he had “Soul Detection,” and now he had “Soul Gathering.” Moreover,

“Soul Gathering” could be advanced to “Soul Seizure.”

In simple terms, Li Yidao could now use the “Blade of Death” against any living beings and also employ “Soul Gathering” and its advanced form, “Soul Seizure,” to deal with all sorts of eerie non-living entities.

A jack of all trades, perhaps?

Li Yidao took a deep breath.

Soul Gathering was activated!

The consumption of lifespan wasn’t significant, only three years of lifespan. It was well within the acceptable range.

With the use of the Soul Gathering skill, Li Yidao felt the faint red gas coiling around the inkstone gradually taking on a more defined form.

As for the purple gas, it settled around the inkstone’s surroundings.

As the faint red gas took on a more solid form, the figure of a woman dressed in a red bridal gown slowly materialized.

However, she appeared to be an ancient woman, and more specifically, an ancient woman in bridal attire!

Thanks to the effect of Soul Gathering and the advanced ability of Soul Detection, the entire figure appeared exceptionally clear to Li Yidao. Even the woman’s facial features and expression were incredibly vivid.

“Phew…”

He took a deep breath involuntarily.

This was getting rather eerie!

Now that he had identified the problem, he needed to discover more about the situation and find a solution.

In the current circumstances, he couldn’t simply use the Soul Seizure skill.

Firstly, he didn’t know how effective it would be since he had never used it before.

Using it recklessly could lead to unintended consequences if the current figure was a formidable entity.

Besides, looking at the demeanor of the woman in front of him, there was definitely a story behind this.

Li Yidao wasn’t one to recklessly deal with such matters without first understanding them.

Most importantly, Li Yidao had a feeling that the form in front of him was not complete.

After all, the current state of this entity was far from normal.

After contemplating for a moment, Li Yidao asked Wei Wenqiang once more, “Can you contact the previous owner of this house? I need to communicate with them about some matters.”

Wei Wenqiang sighed and replied, “I can no longer reach the previous owner of the house. I knew him somewhat. About a week after I bought the house, he left the country and is currently abroad. However…”

Wei Wenqiang paused for a moment and continued, “I can contact his son, who didn’t go abroad with his father. He is currently in Jiang City. I happened to find out about this a couple of days ago.”

Li Yidao agreed, “That will work. Please contact him. I need to ask some questions. We won’t be able to resolve this without clarity on certain matters. Considering the time today, it’s likely too late. Contact him, and we’ll visit his son tomorrow. Some things are best discussed in person.”

“Alright, no problem. I’ll arrange it right away,” Wei Wenqiang agreed eagerly.

Li Yidao checked the time. It was already 10 PM.

“Let’s go. We’ll first visit your grandson at the hospital.”

Wei Wenqiang’s eyes filled with delight upon hearing about the hospital visit. He followed Li Yidao and exited the villa. They got into the car waiting outside and drove towards the hospital.

In about twenty minutes, they arrived at Jiang City’s First Hospital.

They proceeded directly to a high-class private room.

For someone like Wei Wenqiang, staying in a regular ward was out of the question.

Money was no longer an issue for him.

Standing at the door of the room, Wei Wenqiang’s expression was even more excited than it had been in the villa.

He spoke sincerely, “Young sir, my grandson has been saved! When everything is done, I, Wei Wenqiang, will surely reward you handsomely.”

Li Yidao remained silent, just nodding his head.

Since he had agreed to come at the old man’s request, he would do everything in his power to help.

He was even willing to do things he didn’t like. As for the reward, it had never crossed his mind.

Li Yidao pushed the door open and entered the room with Wei Wenqiang following closely by his side.

However, as soon as Li Yidao stepped into the room, he froze in place, his eyes filled with shock and even a hint of fear.

He was indeed frightened!

He was genuinely frightened because right in front of him, on the bed, lay a comatose boy.

But what terrified him the most was the woman in the wedding gown floating above the boy.

This woman had just manifested when he used his ability.

What truly sent chills down his spine was the fact that this wedding gown-clad woman was entirely different from the one in the villa.

This woman was gazing at him, her eyes filled with a sinister and eerie smile. Yes, she was smiling at him, as if she knew that Li Yidao could see her..
