I Turned My Daily Skills Into Divine Ability

Chapter 1: I'll Support the Family

In the Great Yan Dynasty, within Qingzhou City, there was an ordinary courtyard.

"So, until that Demonic Cultivator is captured, Uncle Wei may not be able to clear his name for the time being."

Hearing the news about his second uncle, Wei Yi's heart sank.

He looked solemnly at his aunt, whose face was haggard and filled with sadness.

And his younger sister, with tears in her beautiful face, made him feel heartbroken.

Although he had transmigrated to this world only a few days ago and had just integrated the memories of the original body, accepting the fact that he had transmigrated himself.

But at this moment, the emotions of the original host completely took over.

For a moment, he couldn't distinguish which memories belonged to which world, and which were truly his own.

According to the memories of the original host, he was raised by his second uncle and aunt.

His uncle and aunt treated him like their own son, and his cousin admired him as a talented and knowledgeable older brother since childhood.

The original family's life was simple and happy.

Although they were not wealthy, they were warm and harmonious, working and envisioning the future together.

They hoped that Uncle Wei Tieshan could become a Ninth Grade blacksmith.

To become a registered swordsmith in the Sword Casting Bureau and change their destiny.

To obtain a noble status and the qualification to operate and sell precious swords.

They also hoped that Wei Yi could succeed in his studies and become the top scholar in the imperial examination, entering the government as an official.

However, all the goodness was shattered a few days ago.

Wei Yi failed the preliminary examination and fell ill due to extreme frustration.

In the end, he died, and that's why Wei Yi, who transmigrated from the Blue Star, took his place.

However, misfortunes never come singly. The pillar of the family, Wei Tieshan, also encountered trouble.

While he was out on business, on his way back, he suddenly went mad, as if possessed by an evil spirit.

He even killed the son of the owner of Baoxing Trading Company in the street.

Finally, he was captured by the constables and imprisoned.

The whole family's world collapsed in an instant.

But because this case was extremely bizarre.

When Wei Tieshan was arrested, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was enveloped in a strange red light.

The county government suspected that he might have been possessed by an evil spirit.

So they specially invited a Taoist from the Cloud Heaven Sect to assist in the investigation and handling of this case.

In this world, there are often monsters and demons causing trouble, so there is frequent cooperation between the government and the Taoist sect.

Whenever a case involving demons and evil spirits arises, the government will invite the Taoist sect to assist in the investigation and handling of these strange cases.

And the Taoists sent by the Cloud Heaven Sect, are the two people standing in front of them at this moment.

These two Taoists are dressed in blue cloud-patterned Taoist robes, with their hair tied up in a Daoist bun, carrying long swords on their backs. Their attire exudes a transcendent and ethereal immortal style.

What's more, coincidentally, the leader among these two people is their former fellow townsman and Wei Yi's childhood playmate - Sun Lin.

It is because of this that Sun Lin came specially to inform Wei Yi and his aunt of the latest investigation results of the case.

"Aunt Wei, don't be too sad. No matter what, Wei Uncle's life will definitely be saved. As long as one is alive, there is still a chance!" Sun Lin looked at Wei Xue with sympathy on his face and said.

In this case, with their assistance in the investigation, it has been determined that Wei Tieshan was targeted by a Demonic Cultivator with a talisman paper man.

So when he went crazy and killed people on the street, it was highly likely that he was being controlled by the paper man.

Unfortunately, although it has been proven that a Demonic Cultivator was involved in this matter,

it cannot be proven that Wei Tieshan was not an accomplice of the Demonic Cultivator.

What's more, the unfortunate thing is that Wei Tieshan did have a small conflict with the person who was killed.

Although the incident was caused by that young master's drunken madness, who indiscriminately beat Wei Tieshan in public,

and although the incident happened a long time ago, Wei Tieshan never thought of seeking revenge.

But with this factor involved, Wei Tieshan has no way to prove his innocence and be acquitted.

Moreover, the boss of Baoxing Trading, where the murder took place, comes from a prominent family and is a well-known wealthy businessman in the area.

This person only has one son, who was killed, so naturally he cannot swallow this anger.

Even if Wei Tieshan may be innocent, in his rage, he also wants Wei Tieshan to be buried with his own son.

So under his repeated pressure, it is even more impossible for the county government to release Wei Tieshan as innocent.

Unless they can really find the Demonic Cultivator behind the scenes and make him prove that Wei Tieshan is not an accomplice.

But anyone knows how difficult that is.

So when Wei Xue learned of this result, her heart became so desperate and sorrowful.

They originally thought that once the matter was clarified, Wei Tieshan would be able to come back.

However, they didn't expect that the matter was far from being as simple as they thought.

"Aunt Wei, don't worry. This case is not over yet. We will definitely continue to investigate the Demonic Cultivator and catch him. By then, we will be able to prove that Wei Uncle is indeed not an accomplice, but a victim as well, and clear his name!" Sun Lin continued to comfort her.

Unfortunately, he also knew in his heart how difficult it is to catch that Demonic Cultivator.

Even if they find the other party, whether they can capture him alive is also unknown.

Not to mention making him prove Wei Tieshan's innocence.

So in this situation, the best outcome for Wei Tieshan is to be exiled or sent to labor camps.

To be acquitted is simply impossible.

"Thank you, Daoist Sun. We owe you a great debt this time. My Wei family has no way to repay your kindness. Please accept my kowtow!" Wei Xue said, about to kneel down and express her gratitude.

But she was stopped by Sun Lin: "Aunt Wei, you're being too polite. We are fellow townspeople and neighbors, and what I did was just a small favor. It's nothing worth mentioning!"

During Sun Lin's speech, his gaze turned to Wei Yi beside him. He said with great sincerity, "Ah Yi, you must take good care of Aunt Wei. The future of this family will rely on you!"

As Sun Lin looked at Wei Yi, who was once handsome and elegant but now pale and sickly, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of emotion.

They had grown up together since childhood, and Wei Yi was once so bright and dazzling.

Not only was he good-looking, but the girls from their hometown also liked him.

He was also intelligent and loved reading.

Many elders said that he would definitely become an official when he grew up.

He was truly the envy of others.

However, times had changed, and their destinies had taken completely different paths.

Sun Lin had spiritual roots and outstanding talent, and he was accepted as a disciple by the Cloud Heaven Sect.

He had now become one of the personal disciples of the Sect Master, with a superior status.

In the future, he had the hope of pursuing the path of immortality and transcending the mundane world.

On the other hand, Wei Yi could only be an ordinary person. He had studied hard for more than ten years, but he couldn't even pass the county-level examination.

His future was uncertain, and he was often sickly. A simple cold almost took his life.

He really didn't know if they would ever meet again.

And now, such a change had occurred in his family.

Truly, fate was unpredictable and made people sigh.

"Well, of course. I will take care of this family. Ah Lin, no, Master Sun, thank you for this. And for the matter with the Demonic Cultivator, thank you for your efforts. I can never repay your great kindness!" Wei Yi bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude.

"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. Wait for my good news. Aunt Wei, we have other matters to attend to, so we will take our leave. If there are any new developments, I will inform you immediately!" Sun Lin looked at Wei Xue Shi again and slightly bowed.

His junior brother also clasped his hands and the two of them walked out of the courtyard under Wei Xue Shi's respectful gaze.

Watching the backs of Sun Lin and his junior brother as they left, Wei Yi couldn't help but feel a strong sense of envy.

How he wished he could also join the Daoist sect like Sun Lin, cultivate immortality, and gain extraordinary power.

After all, as an ordinary person, even if he achieved fame and became an official, he would still be a mortal and couldn't escape the cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death.

Moreover, in this world where demons and monsters ran rampant, the mortal body was as fragile as an ant and could die at any moment in unknown disasters.

Just like when the Great Monster ravaged their village in the past, countless people died with a wave of its hand.

Mortals were as fragile as ants in front of those monsters.

It was also because of that disaster that Sun Lin's parents tragically died. When the elders of the Cloud Heaven Sect came to subdue the monster, they discovered that Sun Lin had spiritual roots and brought him back to the sect.

As for himself, he followed his second uncle and second aunt, leaving his hometown and coming to Qingzhou City to make a living.

Fortunately, his second uncle was a blacksmith, and his craftsmanship was excellent.

Later, they opened this blacksmith shop in Qingzhou City, forging and selling various ironware.

Because of their good craftsmanship, they gradually built up a good reputation and network.

In recent years, they had even established a cooperative relationship with the Myriad Sword Pavilion in the city, taking their orders and helping to forge ordinary swords.

Also made quite a bit of money, and life gradually improved.

A month ago, Uncle Er finally saved enough money to buy the yard where the blacksmith shop is located.

Although it can't be considered a mansion, they finally have a home of their own.

However, unexpectedly, just as the good days were beginning, Uncle Er encountered such a situation.

"Mother, will father be released? I'm so scared, I miss father!" Wei Qing hugged her mother's arm, crying helplessly.

She is only in her twenties.

Although girls in this world are supposed to get married at fifteen or sixteen.

But deep down, she is still a fragile young girl, unable to bear such a sudden change.

"There won't be any problem, your father has good fortune, he will definitely come back safely, he will definitely!" Wei Xue comforted Wei Qing, but she was also comforting herself.

At this point, she didn't know what to do.

During this time, she spent all the money she had to spend, and she had thought of all the possible solutions, and she had sought help from everyone she could.

But she was just an ordinary woman, where could she find a better solution?

At this moment, she was filled with despair.

"Wei sister-in-law, Wei sister-in-law!" Just as the two Taoist priests left, two middle-aged men walked quickly to the door.

The leading man had a kind face, greeting as he quickened his pace.

But the man behind him had a cold face, full of anger.

"Wei sister-in-law, how is Wei brother doing? When can he be released?" the kind-faced man asked.

This person is a steward of the Myriad Sword Pavilion, named Zhang Xingye.

He is very kind and has a good relationship with Wei Tieshan, often coming to their house as a guest.

The person accompanying him is named Wang Shouyin, also a steward of the Myriad Sword Pavilion.

Seeing Zhang Xingye's question, Wei Xue fell into a guilty silence.

Actually, she knew why these two people came, but for a moment, she didn't know how to face them.

Seeing Wei Xue's expression, as well as Wei Qing with tears in her eyes, Zhang Xingye's face darkened, already knowing the answer.

Wang Shouyin's face was even colder, and he said unkindly, "I told you, Wei Tieshan can't come out at all.

Mrs. Wei, don't blame us for being heartless.

Wei Tieshan is now in prison, who knows when he will be released, the two hundred precious swords he promised us are definitely going down the drain.

When Wei Tieshan borrowed money from us, it was clearly written on paper, now those swords are no longer possible.

You better find a way to pay us back the money, we don't want to make things difficult for you, a widow with an orphan.

You have ten days to return the money, otherwise don't blame us for not showing mercy!"
