Chapter 85 — The Tale of Cultivation and Demon Extermination

Chapter 85

Ise buys food for a starving boy in a market city, but the boy flees after bowing. Using spirit sight, Ise tracks a trace of baleful energy and discovers a Fetal Ghost on the boy's shoulder—a Fetal Ghost is the resentful spirit of a child who starved to death, pointing to a demonic cultivator. Despite his original goal of breaking through to Foundation Establishment, Ise's compassion drives him to follow the boy into a slum alley. He finds a demonic cultivator in a shack with seven or eight emaciated children, including the boy. The cultivator, hiding a severed wrist in a box, is overwhelmed by Ise's spiritual pressure and crushed into the floor. After burying the body and reciting the Memorial Incantation for the trapped ghosts, Ise gently questions the oldest boy, who reveals himself as Giwon, a ten-year-old with three spiritual roots. Ise gives Giwon gold coins, protective talismans, and instructions to join the West Lake Guild at fourteen. Later, at the External Affairs Pavilion, Ise requests Hui-dan, pays for a consultation, and proposes a deal: he will recommend Giwon to the Guild in exchange for Hui-dan protecting the slum children until adulthood, paying a hundred Spiritual Stones as a commission fee. Hui-dan, startled and confused by the cultivator's concern for ordinary orphans, stammers through the arrangement.
