While clearing the evil spirits, Lin Yi also saw the calamity that befell other spiritual field areas. In his area, only a few spirit farmers have died, which was already horrifying enough. But, in one area, almost half of the spirit farmers were killed.

Even the domestic animals and pets they kept were devoured by the evil spirits, leaving nothing behind but hollow shells. The entire area was filled with the stench of blood, turning it into a living hell. The tragic death scenes of the spirit farmers were deeply unsettling.

The sudden arrival of the evil spirits caught the spirit farmers off guard. By the time they thought of purchasing exorcism charms, the prices had already increased. Even the common and low-grade exorcism charms available in the market weren’t effective enough to kill the evil spirits instantly.

Lin Yi could not help but feel relieved that he had acted early and had crushed these undeveloped evil spirits into oblivion. Otherwise, the situation in his area would’ve been no better right now.

This incident made it clear to him that the hardest part of the cultivation journey isn’t breaking through bottlenecks, or gaining ample resources.

Instead, it is the ability to survive amidst natural disasters and calamities. That’s the true challenge.

Following Li Yuan Qing, Lin Yi was able to exorcise nearly two hundred evil spirits. He quickly learned that these low-level entities didn’t yield any equipment when defeated.

As far as the somewhat higher-level malignant spirits were concerned, they turned into gray beads after exorcism. The yin qi from their bodies, after receiving the cleansing of the rebirth charm, only left behind a grayish bead from two spirits.

According to some texts, these seemed to be Yin Yuan Beads, which could be used for artifact refining or practicing certain special techniques. Their exact value, however, was uncertain. Lin Yi gave them all to Li Yuan Qing, while the inner sect disciples did not dare to keep them.

After exterminating all the evil spirits in the outer sect area, Li Yuan Qing recorded the names of the patrol team. They were promised merit point rewards based on their contributions. He and a few other inner sect disciples then departed.

Upon arriving back, Lin Yi and Meng Le Min retreated to their own area, both of them feeling quite downhearted. The chilling images of what they had witnessed were still fresh in their minds.

The message that the evil spirits had been eliminated spread throughout the entire sect with the thunderous voice of the Golden Core Real Person. The spirit farmers ran out to cheer at the news, which lifted some of the gloom that had enveloped their hearts.

Back in the spirit fields, the spirit rice was unaffected by this incident. It was growing robustly, a verdant green sea full of vitality.

Lin Yi arrived back home, where Zhi Ling quickly bounded over the wall to greet him. She whirled around him happily, her chirping full of cheer. Big Black also ran over, tail wagging furiously.

While patrolling to exterminate the evil spirits, they had spent almost two days without sleep or returning home. Li Yuan Qing operated like an unfaltering killing machine, showing no signs of fatigue whatsoever.

His expression remained calm, unchanging even upon seeing the most gruesome sights.

“Little Lin, you’ve made it back alive.” Old Huang, who was out for some fresh air, spotted Lin Yi and greeted him with a smile.

Lin Yi picked up Zhi Ling, stroked her gently, and then turned to look at Old Huang. “Ah, Old Huang, it sounds like you’re a bit disappointed,” he said.

“Hahaha, that’s just your imagination. Welcome home.” Old Huang laughed heartily as he advanced a few steps and embraced Lin Yi, patting him on the back.

“It feels so good to be home,” mused Lin Yi. The Spiritual Field Area might be a temporary home, but it was a warm and inviting one all the same.

After a chat with Old Huang, he went back home with Zhi Ling and Big Black, stretched out comfortably on his bed and dozed off. Seeing him so tired, Zhi Ling stopped running and hopped onto the bed from the wheel. With a beckoning gesture to Big Black, they gently covered him with a blanket.

The biggest gain from following Li Yuan Qing to eliminate the evil spirits was not the merit points from the sect but the virtue points from freeing the spirits. The two hundred odd virtue points would play a crucial role in the most dangerous times, hence, just like his fury points, shouldn’t be used lightly.

By the second day after the Outer Sect of Liu Yun Sect had eliminated the evil Spirits, Qing Yun City lifted its martial law and reopened. Some cultivators, martial artists and ordinary people who had managed to survive the calamity, rushed out from their houses cheering and shouting, releasing all their pent-up fear and anxiety.

With the total eradication of the Evil Spirits, the prices of the Exorcism Charms and Rebirth Charms gradually returned to normalcy, causing those cultivators and shops that had hoarded charms to suffer heavy losses.

Amidst the bustling of Spirit Farmers tending to their fields, a loud proclamation came from the Inner Sect of Liu Yun Sect, “All disciples of Liu Yun Sect heed this summons. The issue of the Evil Spirits’ revolt has been thoroughly investigated. A sect assembly will be convened tomorrow at dawn where Sect Master Qingyu Zhenren will reveal the truth and issue a punitive decree. All brothers and sisters of the sect must attend to listen to the teachings of the Sect Master.”

Upon hearing the decree, Lin Yi looked calm. He had guessed that after the Evil Spirits’ revolt, Liu Yun Sect would certainly find the hidden mastermind and initiate a war to recoup their reputation and various losses. Otherwise, outsiders might think they could be taken advantage of.

However, this had nothing to do with him. Regardless of who they were retaliating against, as an Outer Sect Spirit Farmer, with the revealed level of Qi refinement at the fourth-level, going there would only make him cannon fodder. It was best for him to stay put and tend to his field.

Lin Yi checked his title panel. During the incident with the Evil Spirits, he had made more than a thousand talisman templates. More than half of them were sold to Li Yuan Qing and the rest he himself used. Meanwhile, his junior talisman crafting skill had reached the grandmaster’s perfection level and would probably reach its limit after the next breakthrough.

After breaking through from the great achievement to grandmaster, the required experience points for the next level were not 500, but surged to 1000. As the success rate of his talisman crafting was almost 100%, each talisman earned him one experience point and had reached perfection.

After reaching the grandmaster’s perfection, he inevitably faced a bottleneck. The limit level of spell technique was not easy to break through, especially during the Evil Spirits incident. Without the enlightenment help from the

‘Color is Void’, it was nearly impossible for him to break through by himself.

Fortunately, with Qing Yun City reopening, he could now seek out that diligent Lady Yuan Yuan. He wondered how she was doing now.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi promptly left the Spiritual Field Area and headed towards Qing Yun City. Now that the chaos had settled down, he had to prepare for his future cultivation. This included purchasing cultivation techniques and if there were suitable storage bags, he planned to splurge on them.

Even though he now had a good success rate to produce Storage Symbols, these storage talisman templates were too fragile and the storage space too small. Just the study of Storage Symbol needed hundreds of Spirit Stones, not to mention the expensive material costs. It was still more convenient to spend a few hundred Spirit Stones to buy a storage bag.

At this point, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew towards him. Lin Yi received it, listened then his calm face revealed a touch of seriousness. It was from Li Yuan Qing inviting him to meet at their usual place.

As for the reason why Li Yuan Qing wanted to see him, he had some guesses. His contribution in the patrol team in eliminating the Evil Spirits would be automatically recorded and distributed by the Sect Affairs Hall. The previous incident in exposing Zhang Yuan Cheng had already given him a hundred merit points which he hadn’t had the chance to utilise yet.

Moreover, with such trivial matters, there was no need for him to be informed in person. So, the only possible reason could be related to the retaliatory action against the mastermind behind the Evil Spirits..
