Chapter 38: Checking the Harvest

The morning mist dissipated. After Lin Feng dealt with the two corpses sent by the errand runners, he took Wangcai to the mountain behind the graveyard.

"Click-clack"

As he walked into the mountain forest, wooden men appeared slowly around him one after another.

One of the wooden men was carrying a leather pouch in its hand; it was exactly the things the Ghost Suppression Division had given him last night. At that time, Lin Feng had only taken a rough look and hadn't checked them carefully at all.

Taking the leather pouch, Lin Feng counted the number of wooden men around him again, and then discovered that there were actually more than twenty.

These wooden men were not made by Lin Feng himself. At first, he had honestly made them himself, but later he discovered that it seemed as long as he gave the wooden men an order, they could make wooden components for various parts themselves.

After making them, Lin Feng only needed to inject the ghostly power of the Puppet Ghost and the Tou Gui into them, which could be said to be quite labor-saving.

"Disperse yourselves, protect the graveyard at night!"

Then, Lin Feng dismissed these wooden men, and didn't forget to give an order.

Then, Lin Feng took Wangcai to the top of the mountain. The view here was excellent, and it was far from human habitation, making it perfect for testing ghostly power and conducting experiments.

"Let me first see what good things are in here?"

Since the Ghost Suppression Division asked him to take action, they naturally wouldn't take out some common goods to disgust him. After opening the leather pouch, the things inside were immediately revealed.

"Corpse-Suppressing Incense, Soul-Guiding Incense, Ghost-Raising Incense, and Evil-Warding Incense. Thirteen sticks of four kinds of incense. Tsk tsk, last time I spent a lot of effort to get one stick of Ghost-Raising Incense, I didn't expect them to send so many this time!"

Among all the incense, what Lin Feng liked the most was undoubtedly the Ghost-Raising Incense. This kind of incense could allow ghosts to grow slowly. To others, it might just be a means of saving their lives or a last resort.

To him, however, the more the better; he wished all the incense could turn into Ghost-Raising Incense.

Lin Feng didn't beat around the bush and directly lit all three sticks of Ghost-Raising Incense, then released the Tou Gui and the Puppet Ghost to let them absorb this incense.

Among the ghosts on Lin Feng's body, these two ghosts were currently the weakest. However, if they didn't strengthen, the further they went, the less help they would be able to provide.

Besides these special incense sticks, there was also a stack of yellow talismans. Lin Feng recognized several kinds among them.

"Ghost-Testing Talisman, Evil-Driving Talisman. There is only one Life Talisman, but it can save a life at a critical moment. In addition, there is the Death Talisman that can make a ghost-driver fall into a state of suspended animation. It seems that this method can prevent ghost recovery, but unfortunately, there is a time limit and it can only delay it for a few months at most."

There were four kinds of yellow talismans, and the role of each talisman was different. This was also the most commonly used means by those Divine Catchers of the Ghost Suppression Division.

After all, using one's own ghostly power easily caused ghost recovery, and the price of using ghost objects would undoubtedly be much smaller.

"A total of twenty talismans. Hehe, the Ghost Suppression Division is really willing to spend!"

Lin Feng put these yellow talismans away. If these things were taken out to exchange for money, any one of them could be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver.

And even like this, there was no telling how many rich merchants wanted to exchange for them but couldn't. The value of them could be seen from this!

Then, Lin Feng picked up the substitute-death puppet that was only the size of a palm. This thing was the real good stuff. It could be seen from the fact that the Ghost Suppression Division only gave him two.

If this thing was used well, it was a life. For those Divine Catchers, this was a very precious thing.

Lin Feng directly cut his finger and wiped it on one of the substitute-death puppets.

Then he put it away directly. In this way, if he received a fatal injury inadvertently, the substitute-death puppet would be activated quickly, transferring his injury to the puppet.

Of the last two things, one was an oil lamp. The style was relatively ancient; it was the kind of oil lamp with a cotton wick in the center and lamp oil around it, but this oil lamp was not lit.

Inside the oil lamp, there was some semi-solid black grease, and one could smell a stench of decay emitted by a corpse.

This thing seemed to be similar to the production principle of corpse oil candles, both of which were made using oil produced by ghosts.

Lin Feng summoned the Xi Gui and then used ghost fire to light the oil lamp. Instantly, a dim yellow flame rose slowly.

The light produced by the burning oil lamp gave him a sense of security. Besides that, it didn't seem to have any special effects.

However, Lin Feng knew that the biggest role of this thing was just this. If an ordinary person obtained this kind of oil lamp, they only needed to light it to become at ease. At the same time, if a ghost approached, the light of the oil lamp would begin to jump and flicker to warn the living person.

This didn't have much effect on Lin Feng, so after trying it, he extinguished it.

The other one was an iron dagger. This dagger was packed in a bone sleeve. When Lin Feng pulled the dagger out, he immediately felt a cold aura unique to ghosts.

"A ghost object, and it's a good thing made by the blacksmiths among the Hundred Craftsmen of Heaven. But the shape is not very good, and it's too small, at most it can be used to divide ghosts."

The thing was not bad, and even the main weapons of the Divine Catchers of the Ghost Suppression Division used this kind of ghost object.

But for Lin Feng, the use was really not great, and there was no unique effect.

After checking these things, Lin Feng was still relatively satisfied. As a reward for taking action once, what the Ghost Suppression Division gave was already high enough.

Then, he controlled the Xi Gui to seep corpse water from his feet, and then the paper-burning ghost suppressed in the corpse water surfaced slowly.

This ghost was still heavily entangled by the blood-colored threads of the Tou Gui at this time, but Lin Feng saw signs of it struggling. Clearly, the effect of Lin Feng joining forces with the other ghosts to suppress it last night was gradually dissipating.

If left alone, it wouldn't be long before this ghost completely broke free from the shackles of the Xi Gui, and even caused a backlash against Lin Feng.

But now, Lin Feng had already planned to deal with it!

The Puppet Ghost was still holding the fire basin for burning paper money at this time. This fire basin could also be considered a very special ghost object.

However, Lin Feng didn't like this style and usage, so he directly chose to sacrifice it.

He decomposed the paper-burning ghost into several pieces, and then set up the fire basin.

Then, the sacrificial ritual began. The object of this sacrifice was still the Xi Gui. This ghost had great potential and was also the ghost Lin Feng used the most.

Soon, the sacrificial ritual was completed, and the page of the Xi Gui in the *Corpse-Planting and Ghost-Raising Scripture* appeared with new changes again.

The theatrical robe on the Xi Gui turned into layers of paper money. In front of the Xi Gui, besides that corpse oil candle and human skin banner, there was also a fire basin that was burning slowly.

At the same time, the paper money on the Xi Gui was constantly drifting toward the fire basin, making the flames in the fire basin burn more and more vigorously.

The evaluation of the Theater Ghost by the Corpse-Seeding and Ghost-Raising Scripture has improved once again; it was already a Fierce Ghost, but now it has directly become a Malignant Ghost!

It could be seen from this how strong the strength of the previous paper-burning ghost was. If Lin Feng hadn't mastered multiple ghosts, he really might not have been able to take it down!

But now, it was all cheap for Lin Feng. The stronger the strength of the Xi Gui, the stronger his own strength was!

After thinking about it, Lin Feng directly let the Xi Gui possess him, turning into the image of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven again.

"Boom~"

As Lin Feng changed, the surrounding environment also changed instantly. A Fierce Ghost was already a ghost object that could cause huge destruction in the surroundings, and its mere existence would cause no small impact.

Raging flames swirled around the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. The ghost fire, which fused the green ghost fire and the orange-yellow flames in the fire basin, became even more ferocious! ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
