The two were initially surprised, but then delighted. They quickly approached Su Feng and asked curiously, "Master said that the infant spirits were filled with resentment and were very mischievous, refusing to listen to advice. How did you, Young Master Su, manage to help them pass on to the afterlife?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, the matter has been settled. There's no use keeping the jade body. Take it and burn it."
Su Feng gave a brief explanation and then prepared to leave.
Now that the Yin energy has been absorbed and the spirit infant that Uncle Nine instructed to deal with has also been dealt with, the "agreement" has been fulfilled in another form.
The most important thing now is to get back and study alchemy!
Before Su Feng could get far, Qiu Shengwen hurriedly caught up, "Young Master Su, wait a moment!"
"There are still three evil infants being suppressed in Master's room! If Young Master Su could deal with them all at once, that would be wonderful!"
The two looked at him expectantly, and Su Feng actually stopped in his tracks.
"Baby evil?"
“That’s right!” Qiu Sheng exclaimed. “Master told me before that these three evil infants had failed to reincarnate multiple times and had stayed in the mortal realm for many years. Their accumulated resentment was even greater than that of the spirit infants. Moreover, they were inherently ferocious and could not be placed together with the other spirit infants for worship, so they had to be suppressed separately…”
“Every year on the 14th of the seventh lunar month, Master would set up a grand ritual to worship the evil infants, trying to eliminate their resentment and allow them to return to the human world. But he could never solve the problem. Last time, he almost caused an accident and demolished the mortuary.”
As Qiu Sheng spoke, he seemed to recall the scene from that time, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"Those evil babies are truly terrifying!"
"So, Young Master Su, if you're going to help someone out, do you have a way to deal with this? The Ghost Festival is in two months, and Master says the evil infant's power increases every year! If we don't find a way to resolve this soon, Master might not be able to keep it under control!"
Qiu Sheng's expression was passionate and his attitude sincere, so he didn't seem to be lying.
Moreover, based on Su Feng's understanding of Uncle Nine, this was indeed a possibility.
"Take me to see it."
Su Feng was persuaded and nodded in agreement.
Qiu Shengwen immediately led Su Feng to the backyard of the mortuary. There was a wooden shed by the wall, which looked quite old.
A Bagua mirror was placed on the lintel, and talismans were pasted above the wooden window.
Without a doubt, this is Uncle Nine's residence.
"What if you get caught sneaking in without your master's permission?"
Wencai followed closely beside Qiusheng and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Don't worry, Master won't find out..." Qiu Sheng licked his lips and said smugly, "Besides, if we have Young Master Su help us exorcise the evil infant, when Master comes back and sees this, won't we have done a great service?"
Wencai then realized, "Your idea is brilliant!"
"Isn't the door open yet?"
Su Feng, who was waiting behind them, was getting a little impatient and mentioned it briefly.
Qiu Sheng then quickly pried open the lock and opened the wooden door.
squeak-
With a heavy thud, the wooden door slowly opened, and a completely different kind of yin energy rushed out.
Even Su Feng couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Is the yin energy so strong?"
And it was in Uncle Nine's room?
"It seems that these evil infants are already starting to stir up trouble, even before the Ghost Festival."
As Su Feng spoke, he strode inside.
The room was not spacious, but it was filled with various magical artifacts. A stack of talismans was piled on the table, and two broken peach wood swords were placed at the foot of the bed.
As soon as Su Feng entered the room, his attention was focused on the ancestral altar directly in front of him.
There was a red-painted partition on the wall about twenty inches off the ground, with talismans sealed on both sides.
Inside the partition were three jade statues, slightly different from those seen outside...
The difference is that these three jade statues have their eyes covered with red cloth, and their bare upper bodies are also wrapped with red thread, making them look quite eerie and creepy.
Before Su Feng even got close, the three jade statues began to vibrate and shake, and a chilling wind blew in from all directions.
"I go!"
Qiu Shengwen, who was standing behind Su Feng, was startled and quickly stepped out of the door. He whispered to the person inside, "Young Master Su, then... this, this place is in your hands?"
"Hmph," Su Feng chuckled coldly, "would you be willing to come in and help if I asked you to?"
"Hehehe—" The two looked at each other and smiled, "Let's not bother Young Master Su any longer."
They're such lazy cowards, they don't do anything practical, they just want to take credit.
"Alright," Su Feng took two yellow talismans from his sleeve and tossed them into the two men's arms. "Close the door later, and then seal the gaps between the door from top to bottom. Do not open the door without my order!"
The subsequent exorcism will obviously not go so smoothly. These three evil infants are so powerful that even Uncle Nine's magical artifacts could hardly suppress them, so the option of negotiation can be automatically ignored.
Conflict is inevitable.
"Aren't you going yet?" Su Feng turned around and glared at him, and Qiu Shengwen hurriedly closed the door.
Soon, a sound came from behind the door, indicating that the two had sealed the door according to his instructions.
"Okay, let's get started."
Su Feng took a deep breath and walked towards the altar.
The closer you get, the more the jade statue sways.
The buzzing sound was incessant, and faintly, Su Feng could also hear some kind of screams and roars coming from the void.
[Ding! Yin energy detected. Shall we purify?]
'Purify.'
Su Feng spoke without hesitation, sitting cross-legged facing the jade statue.
Do not break the seal until the purification is complete.
We'll see then whether these three evil infants will calm down after the resentment is cleared. If they continue to cause trouble, then we'll have to resort to harsher measures.
As soon as the order was given, all the yin energy that filled the room gathered together and gradually purified into spiritual energy, which was then absorbed by Su Feng.
Su Feng was also surprised when the evil infant's spiritual energy was transferred into his body.
"so much?"
He himself never expected that the evil infant's yin energy would be so terrifyingly abundant!
He had barely absorbed the energy when he felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen, as if a warm current was spreading from there to his limbs...
A powerful surge of spiritual energy rose to the top of my head, taking over my eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
At the same time, Su Feng was pleasantly surprised to find that his cultivation level was increasing exponentially!
This feeling is something I couldn't have experienced before!
The previous spirit infants stayed in the human world for too short a time, and the accumulated yin energy was not much. The amount absorbed after purification was only a drop in the bucket.
The improvement is negligible.
But these three wicked babies in front of me are different!
Just one of them is enough to be worth dozens of spirit infants!
The absorbed spiritual energy expanded continuously within the body and was gradually digested.
Su Feng gritted his teeth and endured the tingling, itchy sensation that penetrated to his very bones...
In an instant, purple energy surged to his head, and Su Feng couldn't help but exhale a large breath of turbid air.
They actually broke through!
With just the spiritual energy of a single evil infant, he broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining!
What would happen if there was a second, a third one?!
After all the purification and absorption are completed, wouldn't there be a chance to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining?
This speed of ascent is comparable to riding an elevator!
But Su Feng's joy was short-lived, as he heard a "crackling" sound from ahead, as if something had fallen and broken on the ground.
Sensing something was wrong, Su Feng suddenly opened his eyes.
Before my eyes, three ferocious-looking infants with grotesque faces were lying motionless on the wall, staring at me with their deep red eyes.
"Has the formation failed?"
Su Feng glanced at the ground. The talismans and bronze mirror used to suppress the evil infants seemed to have fallen off during the violent shaking just now. The evil infants trapped inside the jade statue were naturally freed.
It seems that absorption will have to be put on hold for now.
We can't just leave them to their own devices.
"Hiss-"
The three evil infants bared their teeth and made unintelligible noises.
Wisps of black energy swirled around them, spreading from their feet to their heads, a shocking sight that sent chills down one's spine.
"who are you?!"
One of the evil infants stared wide-eyed at Su Feng and asked a question.
The sound was extremely rough and harsh, unlike anything a child could make.
"Where's that old geezer?! Why isn't he here?!"
The other evil infant looked around for a while and then cursed.
"Heh, is this how you address your Ninth Uncle, whom you worship every year?" Su Feng sneered.
"Pooh!"
"That old bastard has trapped us in this wretched place! We can't go anywhere!"
"You think we like eating the gold ingot candles you brought?! We want to drink blood and eat flesh!! Hiss hiss hiss—"
The three wicked children, speaking in unison, kept cursing and insulting Uncle Nine!
