In the wee hours of the morning, Zhi Ling was the first to notice something. It squawked twice as it looked down at the ground, but Big Black remained indifferent.

Seeing this, Lin Yi’s expression turned serious. Even though Zhi Ling’s bloodline had degraded, its perception was far superior to ordinary animals. It seemed that the rumored evil spirits had really arrived.

He placed a stack of exorcism charms and rebirth charms into each pocket of his clothes and slowly walked to the ground. Suddenly, he heard a faint scream. He immediately rushed out and saw a murky entity seemingly scaling the wall of Old Huang’s house.

This entity was like a shadow, barely noticeable in the night. Lin Yi recalled the descriptions of evil spirits in the books. It resembled this murky figure to a large extent; this was merely the most minor type of evil spirit.

Once possessed by an evil spirit, a person’s spirituality would be seized with immense fear, and their flesh and blood would gradually be devoured.

When the possessed person died, they would carry a large amount of resentment and become another evil spirit. The more people they devoured, the stronger the evil spirit would become.

Seeing the evil spirit about to fly over the wall, Lin Yi immediately uttered the Martial Arts Vajra Jue, stimulating all his blood energy. The evil spirit retracted its body as if it had sensed some delicious food, staring at Lin Yi.

At that moment, he threw a golden point with a talisman, but it pierced straight through the murky body of the evil spirit. The spell at Great Achievement Level was useless against the evil spirit.

The evil spirit, as if infuriated, suddenly sprouted a mouth on its murky head, revealing sharp fangs from inside as it roared silently at Lin Yi.

Without hesitation, Lin Yi triggered the Mysterious Light Armor, the evil spirit’s sonic attack directly hit onto the armor. Nonetheless, his brain felt a slight throbbing sensation.

Seeing its attack being blocked, the evil spirit transformed into a sharp arrow and darted violently towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi sneered and, without hesitation, flung a prepared exorcism charm; a Grandmaster-Level Charm made up of seven or eight pieces.

Driven by spiritual power, the exorcism charms turned into incredibly pure Yang Qi, rapidly shooting towards the evil spirit from all directions, almost cornering it.

Upon seeing the pure Yang Qi created by the exorcism charms, the evil spirit reacted as if it were seeing the sun, its entire field of vision filled with light. It let out a bitter screech as it tried to escape, but turning around, it found similarly blinding light. Under the exorcism charm, it was reduced to dust.

“Just like this?” Lin Yi couldn’t believe how the evil spirit had been so easily annihilated. Regaining his senses, he scoured the area where the evil spirit had vanished but found nothing absolute. Shaking his head he sighed, “These things don’t drop any loot, seems like a loss.”

“Little Lin, is that you?” Old Huang seemed to have heard the noise and called out from the yard.

“Old Huang, it’s me. I couldn’t sleep, so I came out to walk the dog.” With that, Lin Yi glanced at Big Black. The dog stared wide-eyed, seemingly still frightened from its encounter with the evil spirit.

Zhi Ling dashed over and jumped onto Big Black’s head giving it a slap, Big Black immediately woke up and started barking.

Hearing the barking, Old Huang chuckled, “You silly boy, hurry up and get back. Evil spirits are running loose, it’s not the time to walk the dog.”

“Alright, see you tomorrow, Old Huang.” Lin Yi returned directly to his house. Old Huang was feeble these days, Lin Yi decided it was better not telling him about the evil spirit.

Although evil spirits were drawn to bodies with abundant energy, they also took delight in bullying the weak; starting from the weakest and slowly developing themselves. Wait, this was not advancement, it was bullying the weak and fearing the punch.

Next, Lin Yi sensed that evil spirits were likely to continue appearing nearby.

He wondered if he should focus on vanquishing or absolving them. Earlier, the moment he had thrown the exorcism charm, the evil spirit had vanished before he could absolve it.

He decided to prioritize absolving. If he could avoid karma, he would, only making them see the bright sun when necessary. So, he decided not to use the Grandmaster-Level Exorcism Charm first,instead, he would make some Proficiency-Level ones.

Even though his current charm-making skill had reached Grandmaster level, he could still produce charms of any previous level.

The next night, the evil spirits surfaced once more but this time, they were near Old Huang. Disturbed, Lin Yi pondered whether Old Huang’s body had weakened to such an extent that he had become a target for evil spirits. He first threw a Proficiency-Level Exorcism Charm, draining away most of the evil spirit’s energy. Then, using all his blood energy, he beat it up and finally used the Rebirth Charm to absolve it.

Chanting the Rebirth Mantra, the charm emanated a soft glow, covering the evil spirit. Gradually, its blurry body turned transparent and took on its previous appearance. It bowed to him and then disintegrated into a light, dissolving into nothingness.

Lin Yi was shocked by this scene. He hadn’t thought that the Rebirth Charm would have such a miraculous effect, allowing absolution and rebirth even for evil spirits.

Yet, not even the richest landlord could withstand the cost of making all these charms. He wasn’t even a landlord, just a farmer. Throwing the charms around was quite glorious, but it hurt his wallet. Worse still, these low-level evil spirits didn’t drop any loot when they were destroyed or absolved.

On the third day, a few Spirit Farmers in the C-section died, causing Spiritual Field Manager Meng Le Min to feel deeply grieved. He spontaneously organized a night patrol team among the Spirit Farmers and even spent out of his own pocket for Exorcism Charms. However, there were few who joined the team.

Lin Yi did not join, but he offered Meng Le Min twenty Grandmaster-Level Exorcism Charms, saying that he had bought them earlier in Qing Yun City. He also reminded them to be careful.

At night, he kept a watchful eye on his plot of land, exorcising any evil spirits that came. But when he beat up an evil spirit and used a Rebirth Charm to help it cross over, the spirit that appeared was a Spirit Farmer who had died during the day. He seemed to remember this Spirit Farmer – it was the one that had been infected by Zhang Yuan Cheng’s parasitic eggs.

Under the effect of the Rebirth Charm, the farmer also converted from a monster-like ghost into a transparent soul-body, smiled, and gave a fist and palm salute towards Lin Yi.

He didn’t die from Zhang Yuan Cheng’s scheme, but instead died from the hands of an evil spirit, at a moment when he had seen hope in farming.

When he saw the body during the day, Lin Yi didn’t feel much. But now, as the evil spirit transformed into a familiar face, and saluted him with gratitude, a wave of sadness welled up in his heart.

“I’m not a superhero, I’m just a small time survivor,” Lin Yi sighed softly, returning a fist and palm salute to the Spirit Farmer who had already dispersed into specks of light.

Hence, on the fourth night, a new cautious survivor joined the patrol team on C-section Spiritual Field Planting District. With Exorcism Charms attached all over his body, and their unique material smeared all over his clothes creating a protective suit, he followed the patrol team from a distance.

Evil spirits were known to pick on weaker targets, hence it was unlikely for them to directly engage with the patrol team. They would typically attack an isolated target after the team had passed.

As for Zhi Ling, he left it at home. The little creature had a sensitive perception.

The Yin Qi on the evil spirits was heavy, allowing Zhi Ling to detect them early. So once an evil spirit approached Old Huang, it would thump on Big Black’s head, making Big Black bark like crazy to alert Old Huang.

Lin Yi was nothing if not cautious, and naturally he would not expose himself to danger for long. So, after the patrol team finished a round and took a break, he ran the Martial Arts Vajra Jue, stimulating his vital energy, and quickly patrolled around the C-section Spirit Farmer Residential Area.

He carried the titles of [Meaningless Fight and Kill] and [The Road is at the Feet] which boosted his speed, along with a Proficiency Level Wind Law spell. These lower level evil spirits couldn’t possibly outspeed him.

And even if he was unexpectedly entangled by a higher-level evil spirit, he could still use the subsidiary title [Burst Out] to enter a berserk state and shake off control.

The vigorous vital energy he emitted was an irresistible delicacy for the evil spirits, especially low-level ones who were not completely sentient. Imagine what a person, who has been hungry for several days, would do when he saw a mouthwatering fried chicken pass by – the same applied to the evil spirits.

After completing one round like this, he felt a presence of Yin Evil Qi behind him. He immediately stopped emitting vital energy, sped up and ran back home. Fighting on his home ground gave him the advantage.

During his sprint back home, he unexpectedly triggered a sprint effect, which instantly boosted his speed by 20%.

By the time the evil spirit arrived back at his courtyard with him, he used the Wind Law spell to activate a mechanism, closing the courtyard door.

A black cloth was spread in the sky above the courtyard. The cloth was soaked in the essence of Exorcism Charms and was covered with Proficiency-Level Exorcism Charm Scrolls. The gates, the cloth, even the houses were all coated with the essence of Exorcism Charms, effectively trapping the evil spirit.

However, the effect of the Exorcism Charm essence was limited. It could only cause the evil spirit to be slightly wary, but was not robust enough to restrain it completely.

Lin Yi hid in the room, released his Spiritual Power towards the black cloth above, and activated several Exorcism Charm Scrolls. Blobs of Pure Yang Qi flew downwards.

Then, he launched several Proficiency-Level Exorcism Charms from the window, aiming at the evil spirit. Soon, the evil spirit was beaten half to death and lost all of its strength to resist.

He remained in his room, using a Rebirth Charm and chanting the Rebirth Mantra. The evil spirit turned into the familiar form of a Spirit Farmer and saluted him again.

He could only hope that continually helping these spirits cross over could substantiate his hypothesis and help in recovering some loss.

After the Spirit Farmer’s form disappeared into specks of light, he unexpectedly saw the popup message of experience point increase for the title of survivor. He couldn’t help but smile. He had caused a big fuss for this small evil spirit, perhaps that was what it meant to be cautious.

It was better to be safe than sorry. Who knew if there was a higher level existence among these evil spirits? One had to be prepared.

In this way, he carefully lured evil spirits every night, and within 2-3 days, he banished seven or eight of them. There were no more Spirit Farmers killed in the C-section, and the Spirit Farmers rejoiced. Only Lin Yi was in pain.

After helping the tenth spirit cross over, a popup suddenly floated before Lin Yi’s eyes, “The host worked tirelessly and continuously helped evil spirits cross over, earning a small amount of merits, and got the title of [Small Kindness,

Small Mercy]..”
