Believe It Or Not, I Already Caught You (Lisrene)

Chapter 94

"It only takes five or six minutes for your vital qi to dissipate after death. It's amazing how your dad was able to retrieve Auntie's soul in such a short period of time." Joohyun couldn't help but be amazed. Snatching someone back from Underworld within six minutes. This speed was something that even her grandpa couldn't achieve. She didn't expect Lu Ning's father to be so powerful.

"That's because our family has Vitality Herb," Lu Ning explained.

"What is Vitality Herb?" Yan Wei had not heard of the Vitality Herb and couldn't help but ask.

"It's a kind of spiritual herb that can maintain vitality. As long as one's vitality hasn't dissipated, eating a piece of Vitality Herb can keep the last breath of vitality from dissipating." Lu Ning explained.

"Unbelievable. How come I've never heard of it before?" Yan Wei exclaimed.

"If my father hadn't mentioned it to me, I wouldn't have known about it either," Lu Ning said in agreement.

"The environment on earth now makes it very difficult to grow Vitality Herb." Seeing everyone looking at her strangely, Joohyun explained, "Vitality Herb can only grow on spiritual veins, and it takes a thousand years to harvest one plant. Nowadays, spirit qi is so sparse, there are few spiritual veins left. Moreover, land development by humans is so serious, so where can you possibly find an environment for the growth of a Vitality Herb?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen is really knowledgeable." Yan Wei couldn't help but express admiration.

"I also heard it from my grandfather. I actually have not seen it," Joohyun said modestly.

Although Lu Ning was also very interested in the Vitality Herb, he was more worried about his mother's situation. He once again pulled the topic back and continued to ask, "Irin, you have not finished. Why can the Mount Tai Stone only help my mother calm her soul for another two to three years at most?"

Joohyun organized her words and said: "The process of hooking souls for ghost messengers is usually like this. The Book of Life and Death displays the name, time and place in advance. Then ghost messengers will go to the world of the living based on this information to collect the soul. However, we, Celestial Masters, all know that souls collected by ghost messengers don't mean death. Death means..."

"The severance of vital qi," Lu Ning finished.

"That's right, and that's why your father was able to snatch her back from the Ghost Gate after Auntie died." Joohyun continued, "But there is one thing besides vital qi that can also determine a person's life and death."

"The Book of Life and Death?" Lu Ning and Yan Wei said almost simultaneously.

"Exactly." Joohyun nodded. "Usually, ghost messengers will take souls to the Underworld, register them, and then cross out their names in the Book of Life and Death. If the time exceeds six minutes, the vital qi of the soul would have long dissipated before his name was crossed out. However, Auntie Lin is different. She took Vitality Herb."

"Her vitality hasn't dissipated, but her name on the Book of Life and Death has been crossed out, that's why Auntie's soul is unstable. Similarly, for the stone, Auntie's soul is not a living soul," Joohyun said.

If not a living soul, then naturally hers was a dead soul, which meant that Lu Ning's mother was a dead person living on earth. With this in mind, the faces of the four people looked quite out of sorts.

"So even if I'm alive, I'm still a dead person." Mrs. Lu smiled bitterly, her eyes full of hesitation and melancholy.

"Aunt Lin." Seeing Mrs. Lu's disheartened expression, Yan Xin eyed Joohyun and said loudly, "Don't talk nonsense. Aunt is just in poor health."
