Chapter 104: Heavenly Venerate of the Chaotic Burial Mound
In the Talisman shops within Cloud Mountain City, a standard Evil-Repelling Talisman is priced at one Low Spirit.
This low-tier Magical Talisman has no trouble dealing with Gray Roam Level Evil Wraiths and can also weaken White Wanderer Grade Evil Wraiths.
The ten Evil-Repelling Talismans Wang Chen had just produced were of Grandmaster level craftsmanship.
Even though they are limited by the materials and cannot surpass their inherent rank.
Their power was incomparable to ordinary Evil-Repelling Talismans!
Ten spheres of Pure Yang Spirit Light simultaneously subrged the seven Wandering Night Spirits, which instantly dissolved into nothingness amid the air, as if snow had been splashed with boiling water.
Instant kill!

[Human Virtue 3]
…
As Wang Chen’s vision was flooded with a cascade of ssage prompts, it was either 2 points or 3 points, living up to their title as one of the weakest Evil Wraiths.
Yet seven Wandering Night Spirits contributed 18 points of Human Virtue to him!
A very auspicious number.
Wang Chen felt like he had drunk a cup of iced beverage under the sun during the dog days of sumr.
It was exceptionally refreshing!
He decided he would accumulate Human Virtue points here until there were none left to collect.
Wandering Night Spirits, Lantern Carrying Puppets, all into my bowl!
Plan successful!
Wang Chen changed his position.
Chaotic Burial Mound covered a vast area, with nurous graves hidden beneath overgrown weeds and shrubs.
It was practically a labyrinth of the undead.
Wang Chen had traversed these grounds nurous tis before and was very familiar with the surroundings.
Although up to this point, he hadn’t discovered any Evil Wraiths in this Evil Nest other than Wandering Night Spirits and Lantern Carrying Puppets.
But Wang Chen would never rashly venture into such dangerous depths.
For his first Evil Wraith farming session, he only intended to fight guerrilla warfare on the peripheries.
His first step was to find a hiding spot.
Then, he would apply the Cloud Rain Jue, lure spirits by mixing blood, and annihilate them with Evil-Repelling Talismans.
In the subsequent battles, Wang Chen did not use the Thousand Illusion Hand anymore but applied Evil-Repelling Talismans one by one directly to the creatures.
By doing this, he expended very little mana and spiritual power, allowing him to maintain combat over an extended period.
Since Wandering Night Spirits lacked spiritual intelligence and operated purely on instinct, as long as he kept his distance, he could comfortably pick them off one by one.
Most importantly, Wang Chen did not have to worry about anyone “stealing kills.”
All Cultivators knew that as long as intelligent beings existed, the Evil Wraiths would never cease to erge!
Therefore, unless they posed a real threat or disturbed the peace in a region, sects normally would not actively deploy forces to eliminate an Evil Nest.
It was impossible to completely eradicate Evil Nests: you might quell one today, only for another to spring up elsewhere tomorrow.
More stubborn than weeds.
Most importantly, the cost-benefit ratio of annihilating Evil Nests was extrely low.
Evil Wraiths were not like the Monster Race; after killing them, there was neither at to eat nor materials to gain.
The only valuable Yin Qi Pearl had an extrely low drop rate.
It was truly an unappreciated and onerous task.
That was the sects’ attitude, and Loose Cultivators from the Outer Domain felt even less inclined.
This was the fundantal reason why this Chaotic Burial Mound gave rise to a multitude of Evil Wraiths without being cleared by Cultivators!
Wang Chen was completely different, though.
As long as he could earn Human Virtue points, he would gleefully indulge in the thankless labor!
Luring six or seven Wandering Night Spirits at a ti and wiping them out with six or seven Evil-Repelling Talismans saw his points soar.
The joy made Wang Chen nearly burst out laughing.
The bliss of having the field all to himself.
Only players who went through the Legendary ga launch, who experienced the agony of “more players than monsters,” would truly understand!
And with a stockpile of five hundred Evil-Repelling Talismans, he could afford to splurge like there’s no tomorrow.
Tonight, Wang Chen is the supre lord of Chaotic Burial Mound!
Having attracted four waves of Wandering Night Spirits, his Human Virtue points were about to break a hundred.
Just as Wang Chen was preparing to move again, a wisp of silent and faint green fire floated over.
Wang Chen fixed his gaze on it.
Under the desolate moonlight, a graceful woman in a simple dress appeared before him, holding a color-painted paper lantern, her delicate steps seeming almost ethereal.
Her eyebrows were like green feathers, her skin like white snow, her waist as if bound in plain cloth, her teeth as if strung together like shells, her smile yet to speak.
Her peach blossom eyes were enthralling, overflowing with an endless charm.
She issued a flirtatious invitation to Wang Chen.
However, Wang Chen was not moved at all; he blinked and augnted his Spiritual Perception Technique.
The lantern-carrying woman before him instantly revealed her true form, clearly a twisted ghost accompanied by ghostly fire!
Wang Chen snorted coldly and flung out an Evil-Repelling Talisman towards the Lantern Carrying Puppet.
The Lantern Carrying Puppet was adept at illusion, able to morph into handso n and beautiful won to lure mortals or cultivators into its evil nest.
After bewitching them, it would devour their essence and mana to strengthen itself.
In the world of mortals, there are many strange legends related to the Lantern Carrying Puppet.
But under Wang Chen’s Great Achievent-level Spiritual Perception Technique, its mind-confusing illusion didn’t stand a chance!
“Eeek!”
Struck by the spiritual light of the magical talisman, the Lantern Carrying Puppet let out a pained cry, bursting into flas as it was sent flying backward.
Its strength was undoubtedly much greater than that of the Wandering Night Spirits; it didn’t disintegrate on the spot even after taking a hit from an Evil-Repelling Talisman.
The next mont, a flaming Fire Crow ascended into the sky, caught up with the fleeing Lantern Carrying Puppet in a single breath, and enveloped it in a sphere of fire.
And indeed, the holy fire was the bane of evil wraiths.
This White Wanderer Grade Lantern Carrying Puppet vanished in the blink of an eye from the world!
[Human Virtue 10]
[Human Virtue (Breaking Threshold): 107]
The points broke a hundred!
By taking down this screeching aberration, Wang Chen’s Human Virtue points broke into triple digits for the first ti.
Just as he had speculated before.
In the skill column of the immortal cultivation interface, the “ ” sign next to [Geng tal Finger (Great Achievent): 399/400] lit up.
In his excitent, Wang Chen didn’t hesitate at all.
He added the point directly!
[Geng tal Finger (Grandmaster): 0/500]
“Hisss—”
He involuntarily took in a breath of cold air.
The instant Geng tal Finger upgraded, the binding oath of the spell shattered, and a wealth of information flooded into his Sea of Consciousness, nearly causing his head to explode!
Among all the techniques Wang Chen mastered, Geng tal Finger was known as the foremost in killing, and with every upgrade, it always brought him so trouble.
Fortunately, Wang Chen had a very strong Divine Soul, and the discomfort lasted only montarily.
His understanding and mastery of Geng tal Finger reached an unprecedented level, with various ideas erging one after another.
His index and middle fingers on the right hand itched to try it out imdiately!
But Wang Chen suppressed this urge.
Geng tal Finger was sharp against cultivators and the Monster Race but was nowhere near as effective against evil wraiths as the Fire Crow Technique.
Since he was dealing with Wandering Night Spirits and Lantern Carrying Puppets, there was no need to waste precious mana needlessly.
It wouldn’t be too late to study it after he returned.
“Hmm?”
Just then, Wang Chen noticed sothing flashing with a glowing light on the ground where the Lantern Carrying Puppet had perished.
He reached out and, through the air, pulled toward him a pearl radiating with a silver-white luminescence.
Ha!
Wang Chen couldn’t help laughing.
He didn’t expect that the first Lantern Carrying Puppet he took down would actually drop a Yin Qi Pearl of considerable value.
With just this pearl, he could offset all the costs of the night’s farming and still have a surplus.
This made Wang Chen even more determined to continue!
