Chapter 64: Ninth Uncle's Plan

Chapter 64: Ninth Uncle’s Plan

“According to what you said, Master, these Souls should be a type of ghost. But at the same time, they have the body of a zombie. It will indeed require some means to deal with them!”

Half an hour later, Ji Ye led Ninth Uncle around the village to find something useful in the battle against the Soul race.

“Haha, it’s really Ninth Uncle. When the time limit ends, I must return and show off on the forum!”

“You’re thinking too much. Master can log off early, so he’ll definitely announce it on the forum. Do you think you’ll have the chance?”

A few new players followed behind excitedly like fans following their idols.

“You’re wrong. Master clearly has a low-key character. He definitely wouldn’t be bothered to do such acts of posturing. Right, Xu Xue?”

Mister Bug curled his lips in disdain and turned around to talk to Xu Xue with a fawning look.

“Oh, there’s a willow tree here!”

“Master, you can use these willows to make arrows. After soaking them in talisman water, they will be quite effective against ghosts.”

At this moment, Ninth Uncle had already found something useful. He pointed at a willow tree in the village whose trunk was as thick as a bucket.

“Isn’t peachwood—a Yang wood—supposed to be used to ward off evil spirits, while willow trees—a Yin wood—are supposed to attract ghosts?”

“Tch, haven’t you watched Ninth Uncle’s movie? There’s a saying in it—’A willow branch beats a ghost, the more hits, the shorter they become’!” a new player whispered.

Mister Bug retorted again.

“According to folklore, the willow tree can fight ghosts because it’s stuck in the Goddess of Mercy’s holy vase.”

“However, the truth is that although the willow tree is a Yin wood, it also contains Yin energy. Therefore, it can cause harm to ghosts that also consist of Yin energy,” Ninth Uncle explained to Ji Ye.

Ji Ye thought for a moment and found it reasonable.

Ordinary physical attacks were ineffective against soul creatures, but just like how the wolf soul could easily devour the exposed Soul Commander, Yin-type attacks could still be used!

This was obviously based on “science”!

After circling the fort and observing the entire terrain, Ninth Uncle said, “However, according to what you said, those ghosts will most likely invade tonight. Our best solution is to set up an array in advance and cover the entire Great Buddha Temple in the middle of the fort!”

“What preparations are needed to set up the array?”

“Talismans, cinnabar, and black dog blood… Hmm, we need to make preparations as soon as possible because it has to be done before noon!”

Ninth Uncle looked at the sun and did a count with his fingers.

“Well… Master, there’s some cinnabar in the village, but there’s no talisman paper or black dog blood!”

Hu Feng, who had been part of the entourage as a subordinate under Ji Ye’s behest, shook his head with a troubled look.

After all, Twin Dragon Mount was historically a bandit settlement, not a Daoist cultivation settlement. It really lacked the necessities.

“Can we use something as replacement?” Ji Ye asked Ninth Uncle.

“Yeah, sure. The blood of living creatures with rich Yang energy can replace cinnabar. It would be even better if it’s the blood of an Extraordinary creature. However, it needs to be recently killed. Otherwise, the blood and spirituality in it will dissipate, and it won’t be able to be used as raw materials for drawing talismans.

“In addition, the fur, hide, and scales of some Extraordinary creatures can also be used as a talisman paper replacement. It would be even better if they have the attribute of evil-warding!”

Ninth Uncle said after some thought.

Although he had lost his memory, he still gained general knowledge about the Land of Inheritance. He knew that these things could replace the items on Earth.

“Fur and hide isn’t a problem. Furthermore, it’s an Extraordinary Rank-2 Mandrill that possesses the bloodline of a Mountain God. There’s also the Alpha Wolf’s skin and bear skin!”

“We did have the blood of Extraordinary creatures, but they have already been used to water the Red Pip fruit… Hmm, Ninth Uncle, our village has a resource. Perhaps it can replace Spirit Blood…”

Ji Ye suddenly thought of something.

The Extraordinary creatures on Twin Dragon Mount had already been killed. It would probably be difficult to find another one.

However, the Red Pip fruit had absorbed a large amount of blood and the essence of the Sun and Moon. Even the “Blood Soil” below had recently become close to Extraordinary Rank-2 thanks to its absorption of the blood of the Mandrill and the gray bear that the rookies had affectionately called “Big Bear”!

Theoretically, these two items were more potent than the blood of ordinary Extraordinary creatures.

A few minutes later, Ninth Uncle saw the Red Pip fruit and soil that Ji Ye had ordered someone to bring over. He stretched out his fingers and rubbed them for a while before raising his eyebrows in surprise.

“Hmm, this item is indeed excellent. The exorcism talismans drawn using it can have their powers increased several times!”

“Furthermore, this isn’t living blood. Therefore, it’s difficult for ghosts to detect them before they are triggered. As long as we set them up properly, we can even severely injure or even kill them!”

Ji Ye suddenly thought of something and brought Ninth Uncle back to his room.

“Speaking of killing, I do remember something. Perhaps it can be used to catch them off guard. Ninth Uncle, follow me into the room and see if this thing can be used.”

Then, his arm stabilized as he opened a box placed in a corner without trembling. It was separated by a thick rock.

“Man… this thing is pretty vicious. No wonder you kept it so carefully, Master.

“However, with this item and the array, those ghosts will definitely not be able to escape tonight…”

Ninth Uncle’s irises shrank slightly before his eyes glimmered.

…

After receiving Ninth Uncle’s confirmation, Ji Ye instructed Lu Zhishen, “Chief Lu, please get your men to pick all the Red Pip fruits. Leave only a small portion of the blood soil. Also, retrieve all the Stone Milk in the cold pool. Also, get someone to pick the Soul Grass in the wolf’s lair in the evening. Leave only a small amount of leaves—just enough for them to live!”

Using the resources in such a way was undoubtedly akin to draining the pond to catch all the fish.

However, this was a war between species. If he failed, the resources left behind would only benefit the alien race. He naturally had to work hard to prepare for battle.

“Yes!”

Lu Zhishen left with his men.

Then, there was only one problem left.

Ninth Uncle was only an Extraordinary Rank-1. Furthermore, he had been “demoted”.

Even if he had the Stone Milk to replenish his divine senses and recover his energy, it would definitely be difficult for him to draw the array formation and create talismans that could allow ordinary soldiers to injure ghosts within a day!

“Ninth Uncle, I wonder if I can cultivate your Five Thunder Talisman technique!”

Therefore, Ji Ye naturally asked Ninth Uncle to impart him the “talisman technique”.

He did not need to become an apprentice like that foreign Chinese because the offering and the Soul of Civilization came from him. Ninth Uncle would not reject his request.

“Master, you have an auspicious forehead, and your eyes are bright and clear, showing your outstanding divine sense. Furthermore, your vitality is vigorous, and your soul’s strength is astonishing. Naturally, you can cultivate it!”
