The strange world of demon cultivators

In the following days, under Ji Yao's arrangement, the group tirelessly and relentlessly went out to collect bottles and jars.

Every day, as the first rays of dawn appeared, they hurriedly set foot on the streets;

and only when night fell and the fog thickened did they drag their weary bodies back.

Thus, after the continuous collection by several people,

and Ji Yao's tireless overtime work, they finally managed to gather a full hundred of various kinds of soul-sealing bottles.

Looking at the mountain of ashes and fragments piled up in front of them, one could imagine how many bottles they had collected in the past few days.

It is no exaggeration to say that they had scoured almost every usable bottle and jar on the entire street.

If plastic bottles could be used to seal ghosts, even those garbage-like plastic bottles would probably not have been spared.

Therefore, each outing required a large number of talismans to ensure their safety.

Despite being so cautious, as time went on,

the talismans they carried gradually ran out, until only a few remained.

However, for Ji Yao, these were all insignificant.

Now that he had decided to start a great ghost-catching enterprise, how could a few difficulties stop him from moving forward?

So, after completing the collection task, Ji Yao unhesitatingly plunged into a new round of busyness—working overtime to produce various talismans.

In the dim candlelight, Ji Yao focused intently on drawing mysterious runes.

The cinnabar danced on the yellow paper, as if it possessed life.

And as the brush in his hand rose and fell, talismans containing powerful forces gradually took shape.

By the time Ji Yao had used up all the remaining talisman paper and precious cinnabar, more than fifty brand-new talismans had finally been successfully created again.

At this moment, Ji Yao's body was slightly tired,

but his eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.

Because he knew that with these talismans as assistance, he was one step closer to achieving his ghost-catching goal.

Ji Yao distributed these talismans to his five companions according to their different uses.

Then, he carefully handed the newly made soul-sealing bottles to each person.

You should know that his small backpack space was really limited and could not hold so many bottles at all.

After all the preparations were completed, the group did not forget to rob a supermarket to replenish necessary supplies and equipment.

Then, they set off from the starting point of the prosperous street outside the God of Wealth Temple in a mighty manner, officially embarking on this sweeping journey.

The group lined up in a neat row.

Maintaining an appropriate distance from each other, they actually covered the entire cross-section of the street with people.

They gripped talismans emitting spiritual light in their left hands and tightly held their respective soul-sealing bottles in their right hands, vigilantly watching the surrounding movements as if facing a formidable enemy.

Ji Yao stood steadily not far behind the group.

On the one hand, he was responsible for protecting the lives of his teammates;

on the other hand, he could also use his keen insight to carefully observe the strength of each ghost that appeared.

More importantly, for those relatively weak ghosts, there was no need for him to take action personally.

In this carefully planned operation, the person known as the Big Brother and the burly man played a particularly significant role.

They took the initiative to undertake the arduous task of exploring the way ahead, and once they sensed that the situation was not too dangerous,

they would signal everyone to take action quickly and bravely meet the enemy.

However, if they encountered extremely dangerous situations, they would quickly send a warning signal to Ji Yao in the rear.

So that Ji Yao could intervene in time to ensure that nothing went wrong.

…………

After that, such a scene began to appear in the team.

In just an instant, a black shadow suddenly窜 out from the darkness.

Upon closer inspection, it was a small ghost with a short stature and a狰狞 face.

It flailed its claws and撲向 towards the crowd, and its mouth kept making刺耳尖叫 sounds, as if to tear the person in front of it to pieces.

However, before it could approach the target to attack, a talisman flashing with golden light flew out like lightning and stuck accurately on the ghost's body.

With a soft "poof," the little ghost was instantly unable to move and was fixed in place, like a statue.

Then, the young man quickly stepped forward, and a small and exquisite soul-sealing bottle appeared in his hand at some point.

He slapped the bottle on the little ghost, and an invisible force卷入了 the little ghost into the bottle.

The whole action was smooth and coherent.

This series of changes was so rapid that even the other ghosts hiding in the dark had no time to see what was going on.

They only felt a blur in front of their eyes, and their companion had disappeared.

But these ghosts did not retreat because of this, but under the drive of instinct, they rushed forward one after another.

Unfortunately, what awaited them was not food, but a one-sided massacre.

The people who had been unable to fight back when facing this group of ferocious ghosts were now like masters who controlled the power of life and death.

Those once-fearsome ghosts were now just lambs to be slaughtered in their eyes, and could only obediently surrender.

This huge contrast filled everyone's hearts with an unspeakable pleasure, as if the pent-up resentment had finally been released.

Especially the little girl in the team, who was a timid person, but now her eyes were shining with excitement and her face was flushed.

Holding a talisman, she kept slapping it on the ghosts that approached her.

Every time she waved the talisman, it would bring up a gust of wind, knocking the approaching ghosts back several steps.

Moreover, she was merciless, and every move was fatal, and the speed of catching ghosts was so fast that people couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

Before long, the simple-minded and unintelligent little ghosts on the entire street were swept away.

Only a mess of mess and the Yin Qi弥漫 in the air that had not yet dissipated witnessed the tragic degree of the one-sided battle just now.

…………

At this time, Ji Yao, standing at the end of the street, looked at the soul-sealing bottles in his hand that were filled with ghosts, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He raised his head slightly and laughed heartily: "Hahahaha..."

After laughing, Ji Yao turned his head and glanced at his partners who were equally excited.

He said:

"Everyone, we were able to catch these evil ghosts so smoothly this time, thanks to everyone's concerted efforts and tacit cooperation. Thank you all!"

After speaking, Ji Yao picked up the soul-sealing bottles and showed them to everyone.

Then, after putting away the bottles, Ji Yao put his hands behind his back, his eyes like torches sweeping over the people in front of him, and said loudly.

"Come on, now that the little devils have been subdued, more or less!

Next, we're going to take on those big guys! Let's go!"

With that, he tightened the talisman in his hand and strode forward.

The others nodded in agreement and followed closely behind, the group gradually moving away, their figures slowly disappearing into the night.

… … … …

When he returned to the head of the street, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at everyone appraisingly.

He opened his mouth and asked: "How is it, are you all ready?"

Hearing this, the few people who had been standing lazily straightened their backs as if they had been electrocuted.

They all stood tall and chest out, their expressions solemn and firm, and shouted in unison:

"We're ready! We will never go back until we subdue all these guys!" The sound was deafening, echoing in the air.

Looking at his confident companions, Ji Yao couldn't help but feel a surge of relief in his heart.

When he rescued them, he never thought it would come to this.

Now it seems that his efforts have not been in vain, and these people have become reliable helpers.

Thinking of this, Ji Yao's lips curled up, revealing a satisfied smile.

He muttered to himself: "These tools are really easy to use!"

Immediately afterwards, Ji Yao's figure flashed, rushing towards the first barbershop at the head of the street like a gust of wind.

When he reached the door, he kicked out fiercely, aiming at the large glass door of the shop.

With a loud "bang", the heavy glass door shattered, turning into countless pieces scattered on the ground.

Seeing this, the others followed closely without hesitation, entering one after another.

As soon as they entered the store, they didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly pounced on the various ghosts in the store.

For a time, shouts and roars resounded throughout the store.

Various talismans and spells flashed and intertwined, interweaving with the ghosts' shrill howls, forming a breathtaking scene.

In just less than three minutes, the store, which had been haunted by several ghosts, was completely cleared.

And the few people lagging behind the team were not to be outdone at this moment.

After hurriedly stepping into the shop, they began to pick and choose among the mess on the ground.

Everyone widened their eyes, carefully searching for any resources that might have been missed or useful ghost artifacts.

Their eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, quickly scanning the surrounding items.

They only picked out the truly useful things and put them into their bags, and didn't even bother to look at the other sundries.

Compared to their previous desperate search for resources, this behavior was truly extravagant!

Time passed quietly, from the first ray of sunlight in the morning.

Until the evening when the setting sun fell, they fought all the way without stopping for a moment.

After a whole day, this street was finally completely swept clean by them.

Surprisingly, during this long sweeping process.

Because there were so many things collected, they had to travel back and forth between the God of Wealth Temple and the battlefield many times, just to properly place these valuable supplies.

But what's even more outrageous is that later on.

They seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, completely ignoring the collection of ordinary supplies, and only focusing on catching ghosts.

Except for those mysterious and powerful ghost artifacts, any other supplies were difficult to catch their eye.

Fortunately, when they arrived at a small clinic, this abnormal state was finally alleviated.

The crowd finally began to frantically scavenge all kinds of medicines and medical equipment like hungry tigers.

After the sun set, the night gradually enveloped the earth.

Ji Yao knew that the night was the active period of those powerful big ghosts.

With his current strength that had not fully recovered, this was definitely not a good time to confront them head-on.

So he decisively led the others back to the God of Wealth Temple.

Back at the God of Wealth Temple, everyone took a short break and immediately plunged into busy work.

They began to methodically take a detailed inventory of today's gains.

And sorted the resources into bags according to different categories for later use.

At this time, Ji Yao was staring intently at the Soul Sealing Bottle in front of him, which was already full and there were seven bottles in total.

His eyes flickered with excitement and anticipation, as if he was about to open it and use it in the next second.

There was even a kind of uncontrollable impulse and eagerness to try.

You must know that the energy contained in these seven Soul Sealing Bottles is not to be underestimated!

They are just enough to allow his mana, which had been severely depleted due to the previous fierce battle, to recover to a certain extent, and even recover a whole layer of mana!

Thinking of this, Ji Yao couldn't help but clench his fists.

He secretly made up his mind to make good use of these ghost resources to improve his strength.

Time passed quickly. After an hour of hard work, the few people responsible for inventorying the resources finally completed their task.

After they carefully classified the various resources and placed them neatly.

Their bodies and spirits were already exhausted, so they all returned to the inner hall like deflated balls and fell asleep.

However, unlike the others, Ji Yao did not choose to rest.

He just sat quietly aside, his legs crossed, his eyes closed, and entered a state of meditation.

When the faint sunlight of the morning penetrated the clouds and shone on the earth.

Ji Yao also happened to successfully refine all the ghosts in the several Soul Sealing Bottles!

With the end of this process, he could clearly feel that his strength had been significantly improved, and now it had recovered to the fourth level of the Qi Soul Stage.

This increase in strength filled Ji Yao's heart with joy and satisfaction.

He couldn't help but turn his head slightly, moving his somewhat stiff neck.

Then he slowly stood up and began to prepare for today's ghost-killing plan.

At this moment, the other few people also woke up from their dreams one after another.

They quickly put on their equipment and tidied up their luggage neatly.

They gathered in front of Ji Yao at the same time, waiting for him to issue further instructions and arrangements.

After Ji Yao explained in detail the area to be swept today.

The crowd rushed out like arrows, without the slightest delay.

Some of them were so fast that they disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Even Ji Yao almost couldn't keep up with their swift pace!
