Chapter 196 - 155: Mysterious First Day
Li Yi felt fulfilled, as he could evolve his cultivation by night and train his marrow and blood during the day, refining his martial arts.
Additionally, with the Cultivation Skill of White Bone Temple and the nourishment of various big medicines, his growth could be described as "thousand miles in a single day." If this could be sustained for a while, he even felt he could reach the threshold of Spiritual Sense, and his Martial Arts Cultivation might actually achieve the level of Refining Points.
If the Martial Arts Concentration of Refining Points were combined with the realm of Spiritual Sense, how terrifying would that be?
Thinking about it, Li Yi felt excited.
"By the way, elder brother, we must close the doors and windows before nightfall today and stay in our rooms, unable to go out again. Today is the first day of the month, and the night is when ghosts roam, an extremely taboo day. People across the Four Seas and Eight Continents unanimously respect this important day," Sister Lin said while cultivating and chatting with Li Yi, making the practice seem less monotonous.
"I know, master mentioned this yesterday. By the way, where did Zhao Qian go? I haven’t seen her before." Li Yi asked.
Rong Niang said, "Junior sister went to the City God Temple in Sanyang City early this morning to buy Door Gods from the Spiritual Woman. Door Gods on the doors can prevent the harassment of ghosts and keep it safe, but the Door Gods only work for one night, and after tonight, they are useless."
"What happens if we don’t buy Door Gods?" Li Yi continued to ask.
"Actually, nothing much happens if we don’t buy Door Gods, but the Spiritual Woman said if you don’t stick Door Gods on the first day, once ghosts pass by, they might take the living people in the house to the underworld. Therefore, wealthy families always buy several Door Gods to stick on the door for peace of mind." Rong Niang said, "But from what I’ve seen growing up, I’ve never heard of anyone being taken to the underworld by ghosts because they didn’t stick Door Gods. Probably, the Spiritual Woman in front of the City God Temple made up this lie just to sell Door Gods."
"But most people who can afford it still go buy it, just for peace of mind."
"I see," Li Yi didn’t expect such a custom here; it sounded quite peculiar.
