Thank you to MCJohnston again for the kofi!
“You’ve been using a heart-soothing treasure to simply help you sleep?” a cultivator said sourly. “What a waste!”
Sun Fuyu frowned and retorted, “This is a gift from my Wen-ge, and he said it’s to help me sleep. It can also glow. I can use it how I want.”
But for the other cultivator who said that it was amazing, a senior surnamed Cheng, Sun Fuyu reluctantly took out an older stone that was now low on Wen-ge’s qi.
“Senior Cheng, you can borrow this for a day. The amazing aura is from my Wen-ge!” Sun Fuyu said, chin raised slightly in pride.
Hu Jingyan’s puzzlement immediately disappeared. “Your Wen-ge, of course! That’s why it felt familiar!” After all, Wen Zhihao had moved into Liu Zhongmin’s accommodation quarters, where Hu Jingyan also had her rooms.
The other cultivator, senior Cheng, accepted the old qi-infused stone from Sun Fuyu and gasped. “Amazing! This kind of aura really does make you want to sleep! It’s estimated that the resentful ghosts became sleepy! Sun-shidi, your Wen-ge must be a master crafting cultivator!”
One of the Nascent Soul cultivators, who had been dealing with the more powerful resentful ghosts, came over. “Little Disciple Sun, is that odd disciple of Elder Liu your ge?” she asked casually.
Sun Fuyu felt a little unhappy at this senior’s words, but he had to hold his grievances in. “My ge is Wen Zhihao, he is a disciple of Elder Liu. He is a talisman cultivator and he’s very smart in a lot of other things too.”

Senior Cheng rolled their eyes at the Nascent Soul cultivator. “You’re giving the rest of the sword cultivators a bad name. Recognise innovation and intelligence! It’s not ‘oddity’, it’s genius! Sun-shidi, can you sell this treasure to me?” Seeing Sun Fuyu’s conflicted expression, they tried, “No, how about this, will this Cultivator Wen sell me a few when we return to the sect? No, no, not a few, even just one! I will pay a hundred mid-grade spiritual stones!”

“Pr atja agef?” Vfclbg Jtfcu jrxfv Vec Mese.
Sun Fuyu reluctantly nodded. “Yes. But the ones that my ge gives me are the best!”
Senior Cheng pursed their lips in thought. “Interesting! One wen, this is the mortal currency? How much is one wen worth?”
“Stop chatting and get to work,” Lin Yijun interrupted. “If not, your share of the mission reward will be reduced.”
Senior Cheng waved a dismissive hand. “Fellow Disciple Lin, we are talking about important magical treasures!”
But when they turned back to their conversation partner…gone! Sun Fuyu had no intention of getting his reward share reduced, so he had quickly dashed over to where all the resentful ghosts were being held. Senior Cheng could only go into a corner and quickly study the stone that had been loaned to them.
The resentful ghosts in the area had been almost entirely caught and were held in separate magical cells set up by one of the senior array masters. The kindly old-looking Nascent Soul cultivator saw Sun Fuyu’s approach.
“Little Cultivator Sun wants to help?” the Nascent Soul cultivator asked. “Letting you deal with this ghost.” The cultivator pointed out the lowest level resentful ghost and handed Sun Fuyu the little talisman that controlled the ghost’s confinement array.
Sun Fuyu nodded seriously. With the talisman and the aura from Sun Fuyu’s stone, the distorted-looking resentful ghost was docile. He took out some food and magically burned it so that the little ghost could easily eat it.
“…For me?” came the ghost’s scratchy whispering voice.
“En. Please eat, senior ghost,” Sun Fuyu said.
The ghost put a ghostly meat bun into its mouth. As it bit down, tears suddenly welled in its eyes. “Ah-ah, I was human once!”
“Do you have any grievances?” Sun Fuyu asked directly.
Somehow, the little ghost couldn’t hold back, unloading all its grievances to Sun Fuyu. Sun Fuyu helped it on some reasonable matters and the ghost finally was able to let go of its resentment and leave.
The moment Sun Fuyu was finished with one ghost, he quickly volunteered to deal with another. The faster it was done, the faster he could receive his reward and see his ge again!
In fact, the fastest way to deal with resentful ghosts was to kill them. Many demonic cultivators also liked to take them under their control.
However, in recent decades, the practices of the temple sects had spread, advocating for more peaceful methods, which drastically increased the time it took to deal with them. It was widely believed that doing this would reduce the severity of one’s future heavenly tribulations. Of course, some ghosts, especially the ferocious and murderous ones would not agree to leave the world and could only be slain.
Lin Yijun’s stomach rolled in an unfamiliar feeling of tension.
It would soon be time for that event. He had wanted to stay in that area ahead of time to catch Zhou Sheng, who he still hadn’t been able to find. In desperation, he had even contracted an animal tamer cultivator with a demonic wolf to help search. However, he didn’t expect this big invasion of ghosts to occur right now.
In his last life, it had occurred a year later, wreaking havoc on the mortal towns and forcing multiple righteous sects to join hands to deal with them. Later, Lin Yijun had realised that the ghost invasion had been a precursor to the war—the ghosts were to weaken the righteous forces before the demonic cultivators descended.
Because of this, the moment Lin Yijun had heard the very first report about the ghosts, he had immediately gotten the mission severity level upgraded and took the task to deal with them as swiftly as possible—before the ghosts could consume mortal souls and grow stronger.
Lin Yijun wanted to slay all these ghosts and be done with it, but he still remembered his death. He couldn’t make his future lightning tribulation worse.
His jaw tightened. This wouldn’t be a problem if they hadn’t come earlier! Why had they?
A few days ago, in one of the demonic sects:
“That Lin Yijun snuck into your sect too?!”
“That Lin Yijun! Thought he wouldn’t be found out? Sneaking into our sects, that bastard!”
“Hmpf! He clearly has bad intentions! Well, if he wants to fight, then let’s fight!”
“Send in the cannon fodder ghosts!”
Speaking of dealing with ghosts, Ghosts Know What I Experienced is a good danmei! I do love OP main characters…
Also, I feel like Lin Yijun has become this author’s cannon fodder even though he was supposed to be a traditional protagonist 🤣
That explains why Wen Zhihao’s lightning tribulation was so harmless. He had very little resentment accumulated.
Ohhh I dind’t notice that! Nice observation 😀
In this sort of cultivation system, having no resentment and worries, and having a pure heart would honestly make cultivation a breeze. No wonder the MC has such an easy time advancing passively.
😆😆😆😆 good, so it all makes logical sense!
Ahora todo tiene sentido, no tiene resentimiento, es un pan de Dios que es recargado con la energía del cielo y la tierra jeje
….I didn’t even think about that, thanks for point that out!! 😂😂😂
Do you have a list of your recommendations tucked away somewhere? Every one I’ve checked is great!
I have some recs here: https://bafflinghaze.neocities.org/all_fic_recs.html but it’s all pretty scattered
Ah, thank you so much!
Yes ah. In this life, his soul can be considered the purest. While his karma are all good since he is a good childcare teacher 😆. No wonder he can still advance sleeping comfortably. No resentment from others, no resentment by his inner self. Salted fish is the right way! Lol
ah yes! Wen Zhihao’s karma is extremely good! 😆😆😆😆
Thanks for the chapter
Thanks for reading!
So Lin Yijun’s action directly provoked the wave of ghost to happened earlier? He’s way too impatient and really need to calm down. Take a chill pill my dude. Also I like the way the ghost are sent away, seems more fitting for this novel, to allow them to resolve their resentment instead of killing them. Thanks for the Chapter~~*
I mean, it was definitely on accident, he was undercover 😅😅 But he definitely needs to chill!
I’m glad you like how the ghosts get to resolve their resentment!
Yes, he really need to chill. This reborn him actually seems closer to qi deviation than Zhou Sheng 😅.
Thanks for the chapter!
Thoughts:
-Awww Sun Fuyu not wanting to give away the gifts Wen-ge gave him. So cute 😍
-Also our Fishy is finally getting some recognition yay.
-Its so ironic that its Lin Yijun’s fault the demonic cultivators were provoked lol 🤦♀️ Your actions have consequences dude.
Sun Fuyu really appreciates all the things that Wen-ge gave him! They’re his! Only his!!
Author, you mean you want to kill baby-Lin? You wanna see how one strange thing is appear? The strange thing calling “my author force me into [cannon fodder] title so I catch him and bring him to my world to commit my revenge” 😏
Be careful ~
And thank you for the chapter!
Oh no, be careful dear author-sama
Hahaha😂 yes be very careful author-san!
LOL, not sure there would be any on-screen death in this story at all 😂😂😂😂😂
That is the best! Thank you! (pity little Lin, he need some a-ta-ta on his soft booty, he need a different therapy cos he is a hard child)
“a-ta-ta on his soft booty” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
applied psychology for the living and the dead
don’t worry author-sama, Lin Yijun still looks like typical protagonist xianxia, but without harem
thanks for the chapter~
Platonic harem, maybe? Everyone will follow him around because of his awesomely comfy qi.
Nah. Lin Yijun isn’t the one with the awesomely comfy qi, so of course he wouldn’t have a harem, romantic or platonic.
I meant everyone would follow Wen-ge around in order to bask in his comfy qi!
Lin Yijun needs to have his sword confiscated until he can properly chill. (Mandatory cat therapy!)
Or as Sun Fuyu/the cats might say, a bunch of annoying tails taking up their time with Wen Zhihao! XD
I mean, the dead were once living, psychology should still work, right? 😂
Thank you!
So his rebirth caused all problems? Eh?
Thanks for the Chapter!
His rebirth might have made some things worse….but luckily Salted Fish is there!
Poor Lin Yijun. The boy needs some food and fluff ASAP
Yep, exactly!
Poor Lin Yijun, our boy is too high strung, he needs some therapy time
Now to get him in Wen Zhihao’s vicinity….😂
Sooner or later Zhihao is gonna become a respected senior disciple that even the elders admire and he’s gonna be like:
Sobs I just wanted to be a lazy outer disciple, eat tasty food and flirt with my Xiao Yu!! Why?? Why did this happen??!! Sobs
Hahahahahahaha!
HAHAHA poor Wen Zhihao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 So his actions also have unintended consequences 😂
Thank you for the chspter
Thank you for reading!
I..also want food therapy qaq
And I really like Ghost Knows! Jia Jia and Jingzhi’s relationship is so full of sugar 。（＞ω＜。）
Thank you for the chapter, author!
🥺🥺🥺🥺 Well, I hope you get to eat something delicious…
Yay, another fan of Ghosts Know!
Lin Yijun if you’re good enough maybe you can get cat therapy too. Too bad you’re not chill enough to our salted fish
shakes head in disappointment at Lin Yijun 😂
It’s his lost ┐( ˘_˘)┌
Thanks for the chapter!
This novel is super cute and I’m enjoying it a lot ♥️
Yay, I’m glad you’re enjoying it!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh LYJ, how the mightly fall… 😂 also what would he think if he knew that he was the reason the ghost thing is happening sooner this time? Butterfly effect is scary!
I really like that Senior Cheng uses they/them pronouns, so rare to see representation for that! His inability to tell how much (or little) one stone costs is hilarious, I bet he thinks mortal money is worth a lot now 😅
Maybe if he knew the concept of the butterfly effect, he might have been more careful!
It was about time I had another cultivator with they/them pronouns in the story 😂
Thanks for the chapter! I can understand why LY is frantic to prevent future tragedies he can predict due to his past life, but he really needs to reconsider his approach… The butterfly flapping its wings, and all that. I love that the stones don’t purify, but pacify by making the ghosts sleepy… I wonder what reaction will occur when the other cultivators find the flowers?
Yeah, he really doesn’t realise that his approach is not working.
Hehehe, that’s great that you like how the stones make the ghosts sleepy!
Thanks for the update (≧▽≦)
🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for reading!
Lin Yijun just causes all kinds of problems huh? Poor him. Well, it’s really bad to try to make things go faster than it’s supposed to be. He needs to learn how to take things slowly.
Also, Xiao Fuyu, our therapist 2.0! Zhihao’s proud of you xD (He always is)
Thanks for the chapter ( ◜◒◝ )♡
Basically, Lin Yijun needs to relax XD
Yes! Wen Zhihao would so proud!
I’m in love with the effect of Wen Zhihao’s aura! Such an OP and wholesome power!! I wonder how everything will turn out when he reaches/discovers he is a nascent soul.
Our Sun Yu is such a nice child! The perfect equilibrium between “my dage is awesome and mine” and “I can share a little bit with you… “! I really appreciated the nuance in giving the stone aura to others to help, but not the one in best state (is it the one his dage first made in the sunrise?).
Can’t wait for Sun Yu to use the unusual but super useful talisman in front of this crowd! 😆
Lin Yijun, are jealous that are Wen Zhihao is such a nice person with such a nice aura???? Humph!
Ahh, the plot is heating up!! I can’t wait to see how all this divergences will kick Lin Yijun in the butt! Will this child survive? Will he accept kitten therapy???? Let’s give this guy a chance 🤨
Author-san, thanks for the chapter 💕
👀 that’s a good idea, Classy Broccoli!
Hehehehe. I’m glad you like all those things! Sun Fuyu definitely DID NOT let Senior Cheng hold the very first stone Wen Zhihao gave him 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for your lovely comments!
Finally! People are starting to listen to Xiao Yu about how amazing his Wen-ge. Good thing he already put a ring on it. I’m imagining all sorts of cultivators trying to kidnap Wen-ge in order to bathe in his qi, when they could have kitten therapy instead. Not just the demonic cultivators, either.
Xiao Yu needs to level up to protect his husband!
Wen-ge needs to give classes on meditation–nobody graduates until he decides that their qi is calm enough.
Wen Zhihao often makes people speechless （＾∀＾）
Number one fan boy Sun Fuyu is happy! And yeah, he needs to work hard to help protect his husband!
Lin Yijun you must go to Zhihao for calming therapy before facing your lightning tribulation, but you’re to proud so I guess you won’t ¯_(ツ)_/¯
[🎶I wonder how, I wonder why Zhihao’s tribulation is like a blue blue sky🎶 okay don’t mind me😂😂]
Thank you for the chap~
Ohh, you’re right! （＾∀＾） Thank you for reading!
Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️
Thank you for reading!
Ooo! Ghosts Know What I Experienced is one of my fav BL novels!!💕
Thanks for the chapter!
\（＾∀＾）/
Thanks for reading!
Thank you for the chapter 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Thank you for reading and for the cookies!
Thanks for the chapter! Actions have consequences.
Yep, all actions do…Lin Yijun just wasn’t careful enough
EVERYONE hates Lin Yijun.
He has to deal with it.
I mean, not everyone hates him hahahah
LE GASP
Who?! I am totally shocked!
Thanks for the chapter <3
Thanks for reading (∩_∩)
Lin Yijun: “I want my friend where is he” crying
Back in the golden sect Zhao and demonic wolf wake up.
Zhao and demonic wolf: sneeze look at each other
(someone is talking about us).
MC: Wakes up sleeping with Kitties and sneezes repeatedly “Someone is bad mouthing me”
Everyone Else to ML: I want a glowy rock give me one now!
ML: :People are too interested in my Wen-ge must get back soon to hide him.

LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Entonces el responsable de esta ola de fanstamas… solo sé que este mundo tiene suerte de tener a un maestro cultivador del pescado salado, mientras tanto nuestro XioSu aplica las técnicas de su esposa…
Ah, pensar que nuestro pescado salado hace tesoros de tal nivel sin esfuerzo y los vende tan baratos…
Indeed, lucky our Salted Fish is around!
I mean, making the rocks are easy for Wen Zhihao so he doesn’t realise how much it’s actually worth 🤣🤣
Lin Yijun definitely needs kitten therapy. Thank you for a wonderful chapter as always ❤️❤️❤️
+1
He needs it ASAP! Thank you for reading <3
Lin Yijun brought it upon himself, most of us are waiting to vote for the sad demonic cultivator as the True Protag of the reincarnation storyline 🤷🏻
Of course, our salted fish is the True True MC, and SFY is the adorable cinnamon roll that can and will kill you if you dare act against his Wen-ge. With the help of the best demonic cats™ and tracker wolfie, of course.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is such a fun description of them !
I caught up yay
Lin yijun slowly but surely getting on my nerves 💢
Thank you for the chapter ✨
😅😅😅 Lin Yijun really is too arrogant.
Thank you for reading!
I would be concerned if he was the protag, how can he not have some rightful and spare inocents and try not use force? He’s a bad protag, not like him.
Thanks for the chapter!!
I mean, to be honest, a lot of xianxia protags kill others quite easily? Or maybe that’s just the ones that I’ve read 😅
.
Lin Yijun makes me weirdly uncomfortable :((
He’s definitely not as nice company as Wen Zhihao…
Need to sent li yijun to wen zhihao for counselling so that his obsession on past life is gone😒😒😒
yes indeed 🙈🙈🙈
Aw love the moment where the ghost eats the bun. Ghosts are always canon fodder and its nice to remember they were people. Makes me want to read Founder of Diabolism again..maybe just the fluffy bits.
Thanks for the chapter!
right! Though there are some stories that focus enough on ghosts as people/characters rather than just cannon fodder, most of them are modern settings, I think…
…… It was literally his fault that things were happening a year earlier….
Yep 🤣 The butterfly’s wings flapping and things changing and all that~
He deserves to be a cannon fodder!!!!! Darn it! He irritates me with his tunnel vision!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 ahh things will change in the future~
Lin Yijun puts me in a table flipping mode
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ooo, a non-binary cultivator! Love it!
I have another ghost-related danmei rec: “They All Say I’ve Met A Ghost” by Cyan Wings (translated by E. Danglars). It’s super hilarious 😂
They exist!
I actually started reading it but it was in first person… 😅😅
Oh, you have a first-person narrative allergy, I see, I see…
My condolences for your impairment 😉
😳😳 in the end, I grew up with third person fantasy 🤣
I just find Lin Yijun to be very unlikeable. I even feel he is only trying to find his Shidi, to prevent his own death. His current actions are truly ostentatious and its no wonder demonic cult is now after him
He isn’t meant to be particularly likeable hahahah, Sun Fuyu is meant to be the one everyone wants to spoil!!!!
Aaah I’m so happy you replied. Your book is great! 😂🥰
I got the character development I wanted so it’s good
🤗🤗🤗🤗
Of course his own actions brought on the ghosts early arrival.
Thank you for the chapter.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t realise…
Ah! I just love it when there are fluffy BL recommendations!
I hope you enjoy them!
It’s really interesting how the characters seal their own end bcz they (or their surrondings) try to avoid it… Our Bunny and his parents in his past life and now Li Y .. if you think about it the idea is ‘Be zen don’t stress and be lazy and nothing wrong will happen to you’. Masterpiece! ❤️❤️
Wow, I didn’t realise that I had that kind of theme in the story! Thank youuu 🥰🥰
