Shen Luo ignored the people around him and glanced at the ghost catching list. Soon, his eyes stopped on a mission.
"I've accepted the mission of the Refined Fragrance Winery in the west of the city." Shen Luo walked to the mission table and said.
"Yes, I'll arrange it immediately." The steward's attitude was completely different from before. He put on a flattering smile and immediately took out the mission booklet to record it.
After Shen Luo finished the registration, he walked back to his residence under the escort of the crowd.
After returning to his room, he took out the talisman paper and ink he just bought and placed it on the table. After calming his mind, he took out a piece of talisman paper and began to draw Little Thunder Talismans.
He drew for an entire day and only stopped in the evening. There was a thick stack of Little Thunder Talismans on his right hand. There were more than thirty talismans on his left hand, but they were all failures.
"Drawing over thirty Little Lightning Talismans in a day can be exchanged for a little more than two pieces of Immortal Jade. This speed isn't bad." Shen Luo muttered to himself, and then he put away the talismans before closing his eyes to rest.
After nightfall, he got up and left the Bai residence. He walked to the west of the city and quickly arrived at a large winery. He identified himself and entered the winery.
Half an hour later, bursts of thunderous sounds were heard from the manor. The sounds were also mixed with the screams of ghosts. But, they soon faded away.
After a while, Shen Luo came out of the winery. His face was quite pale and half of his right sleeve was missing. He looked quite embarrassed.
"Without the help of Senior Horse-face, facing these ghosts alone is quite difficult." He raised his right hand. There were three long scratches on his arm. His skin and flesh were twisted, but there was not much blood.
The ghost's cultivation was not too high. It was only at the early stage of Inedia. However, its tracks were mysterious and it moved like the wind. Even though his Crescent Moon Steps was not low and he was as careful as possible, he was still injured. If it was an ordinary cultivator, they would not be able to take it down without two or three Inedia cultivators.
Fortunately, he had prepared enough Little Thunder Talismans. In the end, the ghost died.
He flipped his left hand over, revealing a white bead filled with Yin energy. Naturally, this was the item that the ghost had used to condense Yin energy.
"No matter what, the mission is complete. I got five Immortal jades." Shen Luo's face flashed with joy. He quickened his pace and headed towards the Bai Clan.
In the next few days, he spent his days drawing talismans at home, and at night, he would occasionally accept some assignments that he was confident in. After deducting his losses, the speed at which he earned immortal jades was rather shocking, and he was usually able to earn over five immortal jades in a single day.
However, after two months of joint extermination led by the three great families, the situation in Jianye City and the nearby towns had changed quite a bit. There were fewer and fewer ghosts left, and at the same time, there were no more reports of new ghost attacks.
Of course, the closer it was to the end, the more intense the competition between the three families became. Some of the tasks that seemed to be strenuous and unrewarding were quickly eliminated.
The residents of Jianye City naturally quickly discovered this change. While they rejoiced, they also gradually returned to their original daily lives and work.
On the day of Lidong, the government officially announced that the ghost attack in Jianye City had been eliminated, and peace had been completely restored inside and outside the city.
The residents held a grand celebration. The city was decorated with lanterns and colored banners to celebrate the elimination of the ghost attack. Everyone laughed heartily.
The three great exorcist families, Bai, Lin, and Du, had been actively exterminating ghosts, and their reputation had greatly increased. The Bai Clan had even been awarded the title of "Number One Exorcist Family" by the government in Jianye City because they had eliminated the most ghosts.
…
In a study in the inner courtyard of the Bai Clan, Bai Hecheng, Bai Jiangfeng, and some respected uncles and core disciples of the Bai Clan had gathered.
On a large table in the study, there was a large golden plaque with the words "The Number One Exorcist Family" written on it. The words were written in majestic golden gilt.
"Our many days of hard work have not been in vain. The title of" Number One Exorcist Family "is well deserved!" Bai Hecheng looked at the plaque on the table and laughed heartily.
When the others heard this, their faces were filled with excitement.
"Number One Exorcist Family" was not just a nice name. The Bai Clan had also received many benefits from the government. Their power had increased greatly, and it was only a matter of time before they suppressed the Lin and Du Clans.
"Patriarch, the Bai Clan's current achievements are all due to the joint efforts of the entire clan. Those who have contributed greatly should be rewarded, especially those guest elders. We should try to rope them in," Bai Jiangfeng suggested.
"That's right. Everyone present will be rewarded later. The guests who participated in the Hidden Wind Valley mission will each be rewarded with ten immortal jades, "Bai Hecheng announced with a wave of his hand.
"Thank you, Patriarch!" Everyone in the Bai Clan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
"Although the ghost attack has been eliminated, everyone must not let down their guard. From today onwards, while our Bai Clan is developing vigorously, we must also begin to stockpile resources in case of any major changes. We must also be wary of the Lin and Du Clans," Bai Hecheng said with a solemn expression.
"Yes!" Everyone in the Bai Clan replied in unison.
…
Early the next morning.
In Shen Luo's small courtyard, he sent Bai Jiangfeng to the door and thanked him, "Thank you, Second Elder, for personally delivering the gifts. Please send my thanks to the Patriarch."
"Shen Daoyou is too polite. You deserve it," Bai Jiangfeng said with a smile and quickly left.
Shen Luo returned to the room and picked up a small cloth bag on the table. Bai Jiangfeng had just delivered it, and it contained ten immortal jades.
Since there were no more ghost exorcism missions, the speed at which he earned immortal jades had greatly decreased. For the upcoming Ghost City, he had to draw Little Thunder Talismans day and night.
In fact, after the ghost attack was eliminated, the sales of Little Thunder Talismans had also decreased. Fortunately, Shopkeeper Ma was very trustworthy and did not lower the price of Little Thunder Talismans. After all, many people understood the principle of being prepared.
"Forget it, I'll just earn as much as I can." Shen Luo sighed inwardly. He took all the talismans he had drawn yesterday and got up to leave. Soon, he arrived outside the Treasure Recording Hall. His face suddenly revealed a surprised expression.
He saw that the Treasure Recording Hall's door was half closed and the windows inside were tightly shut. There was no light, so the light was dim. It seemed that something had happened.
His heart thumped. The Treasure Recording Hall was now the only place where he could earn immortal jades. Nothing could happen to it. He hurriedly walked in.
There were no changes in the store. Shopkeeper Ma and Ma Xiuxiu were standing by the counter, discussing something in low voices. Their expressions were very heavy.
"Young Master Shen, have you come to deliver talismans again?" Shopkeeper Ma saw Shen Luo come in and hurriedly put on a smile and greeted him.
Although Shen Luo felt that Shopkeeper Ma's smile was a little strange, he was relieved to see that everything in the store was normal. He took out thirty Little Thunder Talismans and handed them over.
"Young Master Shen's talisman drawing skills are really amazing. You can draw so many talismans every day. Even a skilled talisman master can't compare to you." Shopkeeper Ma took the Little Thunder Talismans and took out two pieces of immortal jades and handed them over.
Shen Luo smiled slightly and didn't say anything. He took the immortal jades and put them away.
"Shopkeeper Ma, the store is still closed at this time. Did something happen?" He looked around and asked.
"Don't mention it. We've had bad luck recently. A batch of goods in the store was robbed by a group of bandits. We suffered a great loss." Shopkeeper Ma sighed.
"Where were they robbed? Did you report it to the authorities? "Shen Luo asked.
"They were robbed by a group of water bandits in the Lishui River eighty miles away from Jianye City. Naturally, we've reported it to the authorities. However, the bandits were very cunning. They took the goods and left without leaving any trace. The authorities have already sent people to investigate, but they didn't find any clues." Shopkeeper Ma shook his head and said.
Shen Luo heard this and fell silent.
