Chapter 17 Breaking the Evil
The evil-eyed witch took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, opened the cap, and carefully poured a drop of pungent, semi-transparent liquid onto the skull. Then she took out a talisman with the name and birth date written on it, lit it, and sprinkled all the ashes onto the blood.
Then, a low, eerie incantation echoed in the secret room.
next moment.
The ghostly figure that had entered her body leaped out and eagerly merged into her skull.
"Gurgle..."
The blood on the altar faded at a visible rate, and all the offerings turned ashen and decayed in the blink of an eye, emitting an increasingly nauseating stench of rot.
The incantation gradually became sharp and high-pitched, as if it were commanding or urging something.
A ghostly face suddenly appeared on the skull, staring fiercely at the evil-eyed witch, and let out a roar full of resentment.
The evil-eyed witch didn't even open her eyes, and her incantations grew increasingly sharp and piercing.
The ghost face leaped out of the skull in a huff, transforming back into a ghostly shadow. In a flash, it vanished from the face and reached the ground, disappearing in an instant.
About seven or eight kilometers away, there is a two-story building in the Shikumen style with the master bedroom on the second floor.
A gaunt man in his thirties suddenly awoke and immediately discovered that the yellow talisman pasted on the door frame was spontaneously combusting without wind, turning to ashes in the blink of an eye.
The room temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees, becoming bitterly cold.
next moment.
A rotting ghost face gradually appeared on the door, with two scarlet will-o'-the-wisps staring intently at him from their eye sockets.
In an instant, an indescribable chill seeped into his body, and he felt a sudden chill, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, so frozen that he could not even move a finger.
The man's face changed drastically, and he cried out desperately, "Ghost Witch, spare me! What's wrong with you? Why haven't you replied to my messages all day?"
With a sinister grin, the ghost leaped out of the door and lunged forward.
The man immediately felt a numbness all over his body, and in an instant, he lost consciousness. Everything went black before his eyes.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself inexplicably floating in mid-air.
The person on the bed next to them was frozen stiff, with wide, empty eyes and two white frost lines on their eyebrows.
Wait, why does this person look so familiar?
When he realized that it was himself, he suddenly noticed that the ghostly face was floating maliciously beside him.
He was immediately alarmed, but before he could react, everything went black and he could no longer sense anything.
The man was immediately alarmed.
What's wrong with me?
Why am I still in bed?
Where am I?
Help!
In reality, the ghost he had transformed into was swallowed whole by the ghost face.
The ghostly face vanished from the room in an instant, turning into a ghostly shadow.
Soon, the ghostly figure entered the secret room and once again disappeared into the body of the evil-eyed witch.
The evil-eyed witch trembled and suddenly opened her evil eyes, which were mostly white with little black.
The low, eerie chanting sounded again.
After a long while, the chanting stopped.
"Is the patron Viscount Mandewell's butler from the Bilcardia Empire?"
The evil-eyed witch muttered to herself, then hesitated.
If the benefactor is a member of the Xia clan, she will fight to the death to take immediate revenge.
But the fact that the patron happens to be a nobleman from the Bilcardia Empire makes things difficult.
At least she can't just show up at their door like that...
Half an hour later, in the master bedroom on the second floor of a Western-style detached house.
Anna sat alone at her dressing table.
The black cat jumped in through the open window, then onto her lap, looking up into her eyes.
The two stared at each other for several minutes before looking away.
Anna hugged the black cat and rubbed its head.
Fanny almost caught a Half-Moon Realm evil spirit?
Dong Guanfei's house had been cleaned and was spotless.
Hmm... this might have been done by someone sent by Chief Edward Smith.
It seems Dong Guanfei is indeed in deep trouble...
When Dong Guanfei opened his eyes, it was already past four o'clock the next morning.
After a quick wash, he immediately turned off all the lights in the room.
More than two hours later, as golden sunlight streamed in through the window, no strange creature appeared.
It seems the danger posed by the evil spirits has passed.
Dong Guanfei breathed a sigh of relief and immediately entered the space cabin to begin visualizing the Vermilion Bird Diagram and sensing the first soul node of the second spiritual node.
About ten minutes later, a faint pulsation began to occur somewhere in the Sea of Souls. The frequency of the pulsation gradually stabilized, and each pulsation became stronger than the previous one.
About ten minutes later, the soul node was completely stabilized.
He suppressed his joy and continued to sense the second soul node.
After about forty minutes, the second soul node took shape.
About two minutes later, he felt a sense of fullness in his sea of souls, and he immediately stopped cultivating.
He can still only practice for about an hour each day.
The Sea of Souls has become stronger, but the difficulty of sensing it has also increased.
Because of the "one certificate for life" feature of the data panel, he only needs to sense the soul node, and the soul node will quickly become stable.
It now seems that his previous estimate that his cultivation efficiency was only ten or twenty times higher than that of people with the same talent was wrong; it should be twenty or thirty times higher.
This is also why the time he needed to advance to the "Transcendental" stage was far less than the estimated four hours.
This makes sense, because other cultivators might only feel a slightly stronger state when they start cultivating tomorrow than when they started today, while he starts directly from the state he felt at the end of today's cultivation.
It's equivalent to having never stopped cultivating.
So, taking into account the high-energy environment of the space cabin, his cultivation efficiency is four to six thousand times that of people with the same talent.
If we disregard bottlenecks and calculate based on the rule that the time required for the next soul node to take shape doubles, he would need a total of 10220 minutes to light up the nine soul nodes of the second spiritual node.
Adding the ten times the time required to light up the second key node, it comes to approximately 1874 hours.
It would take him more than five years of cultivation to light up the second spiritual node.
If there is a sufficient supply of "Spirit Nourishing Pills", the required time will be reduced by one-third - approximately three and a half years.
Without the aid of powerful elixirs, cultivators with the same talent as him would have virtually no chance of advancing further.
Dong Guanfei once again felt that the original body's inherent qualities were truly indescribable.
In fact, a cultivator's innate talent can only be significantly improved when "True Qi" advances to "True Intent" or "Spiritual Energy" advances to "Divine Intent".
However, those with poor aptitude will never be able to cultivate to the level of "true intent" or "divine intent," so this is a false proposition.
In addition, the first spiritual node allows him to activate the first secret technique of the Beast Clan's spiritual cultivation method—Exorcising Evil.
The method of dispelling evil involves visualizing the Vermilion Bird's divine intent constructed from the first spiritual node, which has two characteristics:
First, it can break through mental attacks that are one level higher than one's own cultivation level, and it provides an additional 50% to 100% bonus against Yin-type mental attacks;
Second, fire elemental secret arts or spells activated by empowering oneself or using magical artifacts.
In other words, when he killed that vengeful ghost yesterday, he didn't actually need to activate the "Ruyi" energy shield.
But he was a novice in combat and didn't know how strong the enemy was, so he could only go all out.
If the attack of that vengeful ghost had broken through the energy shield, it would have faced the defense of the exorcism technique.
If he can make a pact with the Vermilion Bird, he can break through mental attacks that are even higher than those that cross a major realm.
This is what makes the "Secret Techniques of the Beast Clan" and the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast so awesome.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, he can currently resist mental attacks below the initial stage of "Spiritual Ability".
Around 8:30 a.m., Dong Guanfei appeared at the entrance of the Shadow Alliance Club, which was about 400 to 500 meters away from the Fister Hotel.
