This is Fire Element Spiritual Energy!

Wang Xiaoqiang exclaimed in his heart.

As the Fire Element Spiritual Energy plunged into Little Xu Xiaoya's forehead, she became completely tranquil and gradually regained consciousness.

She felt the coldness within her body, that chilling coldness that gave her goosebumps, being dissolved by a surge of warm energy. Slowly, her body, which was originally shivering from the cold, began to warm up, and the terrifying things before her eyes (hallucinations) vanished.

As all the illusions disappeared and Wang Xiaoqiang's face came into view, Little Xu Xiaoya couldn't help but fling herself into his arms, crying, "Little Qiang, I was scared to death..."

This was the first time Wang Xiaoqiang had been hugged by Little Xu Xiaoya. Because of her force, he felt her chest firmly pressed against his.

Just then, he couldn't push her away, and to demonstrate the magnanimity and care of a company president towards his staff, Wang Xiaoqiang extended his hands, gently comforted Little Xu Xiaoya by stroking her fragrant shoulders.

"Hey, hey..." Zheng Shuang came closer and gave Wang Xiaoqiang a meaningful look, signaling him to let go of Little Xu Xiaoya. Her tone was dripping with jealousy.

The girl was really prone to jealousy.

With Little Xu Xiaoya in his arms, Wang Xiaoqiang was truly reluctant to let go, but upon seeing Zheng Shuang's expression, Little Xu Xiaoya consciously pushed Wang Xiaoqiang away.

Wang Xiaoqiang felt somewhat disappointed, thinking it would have been better if Zheng Shuang weren't there. However, this thought flashed through his mind quickly before his attention returned to more serious matters... "Little Ya, what exactly happened...?"

Wang Xiaoqiang asked solemnly and seriously.

Little Xu Xiaoya recalled the events and then answered, "Last night, I was walking alone in the garden on the east side of the factory, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blow over me. It was very cold, and that chilly wind crept into my body all at once. Then I felt like I had fallen into an ice cellar, unbearably cold. I ran back to the dormitory and wrapped myself in blankets. My body was still cold, and I found many ghostly shadows in my room; there were also sounds of ghosts wailing in my ears... the whole night was like that... it was tormenting..."

Upon hearing this, both Wang Xiaoqiang and Zheng Shuang took a deep breath of relief. Little Xu Xiaoya was lucky to have run back to the dormitory; if she had been outside, who knows what might have happened?!

"Could it be that there is an evil presence in the Southern Courtyard?" Zheng Shuang said with a quivering voice.

Upon hearing this, images of the Southern Courtyard flashed through Wang Xiaoqiang's mind. The Southern Courtyard that Little Xu Xiaoya and Zheng Shuang spoke of was in the area near the breeding farm. Since the farm was located on the outskirts and was quite large, there were many unused places. Like the Southern Courtyard, which was previously an empty space that later grew some evergreens, shrubs for ornamentation, and decorative trees, gradually becoming a garden where workers could rest after meals.

But since workers often went home in the evening, hardly anyone would be there at night. Little Xu Xiaoya, a medical student, didn't believe in ghosts, so she wasn't afraid to go there alone at night.

"What evil presence... Don't talk nonsense." Wang Xiaoqiang said, "I'll take a look..."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoqiang asked Zheng Shuang to take care of Little Xu Xiaoya and went downstairs by himself toward the Southern Courtyard.

At this time, the workers were all on shift, and no one was in the Southern Courtyard. Wang Xiaoqiang walked around the courtyard alone, feeling an eerie coolness in broad daylight as if walking through a chilly drain.

...All of a sudden, the Five Elements Spirit Spring within him stirred, all eight of the Spiritual Springs were in motion. Taking another step forward, the vibrations became more intense. Wang Xiaoqiang stopped and keenly sensed that the oscillation of the Five Elements Spirit Spring was in the same state as when it vibrated back in Little Xu Xiaoya's dormitory; it carried an air of desolation, and that trumpheting sound, that resounding clang, rang out once again...

Wang Xiaoqiang felt a chill in his heart and looked forward; there was nothing but a patch of low grass in front of him.

As Wang Xiaoqiang took another step forward, the Five Elements Spirit Spring on his right leg shook most violently, and a red beam of Fire Element Spiritual Energy shot out from his leg, hitting the grass one meter ahead.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't be clearer about the strangeness beneath that patch of grass!

So, when he stepped over, all eight Spiritual Springs released Fire Element Spiritual Energy, focusing on a spot on the ground the size of a bowl.

Wang Xiaoqiang moved forward, crouched down, and noticed that the patch of grass about the size of a bowl seemed odd. Upon parting the grass, he saw that the small patch had already been pulled up, only loosely covered at the top, and the soil underneath was fresh, clearly, someone had recently dug there.

Indeed, when he pulled at the soil, it was loose and soft. Wang Xiaoqiang coated his hand with some Metal Element Spiritual Energy and began to dig. His hand, infused with the Aura of Geng Metal, became as sharp as a little spade...

While he was digging, the Five Elements Spirit Spring inside him acted like eight detectors, continuously vibrating more and more fiercely,

Soon, he had dug out a hole about a foot deep when his hand hit something hard. He pulled it out to see that it was a round, flat wooden box, shaped like a cookie tin, only when Wang Xiaoqiang opened the box,

a blast of icy air rushed at him. The icy chill that invaded his head and face was neutralized by the Fire Element Spiritual Energy emitted from the Spiritual Spring on his forehead.

Wang Xiaoqiang was greatly alarmed, realizing that if anyone other than himself had opened the box, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that inside the box was a talisman covered in spell inscriptions, with a Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram on it, strange in that the Yang side of the Yin-Yang fish had been smeared into the Yin side...
