Upon hearing Cao Kun mention the unusual situation here, the Holy Son from the foot of the mountain said, "I've noticed it too, but I can't figure out why."
Cao Kun: "If I'm not mistaken, this is a natural place where evil spirits gather."
The Holy Son of the Mountain looked bewildered: "Master, what is a place where evil gathers?"
Cao Kun: "Our first realm is called Gathering Evil. What is the process of cultivation?"
"Absorb the evil energy in heaven and earth into the body."
“Oh, I see.” The Holy Son of the Mountain understood immediately: “This place of gathering evil is just like when we cultivate. It will absorb evil energy and gather it in one place.”
Cao Kun: "That's right, this kind of place has another characteristic."
"What is it?" Yamashita Seiko looked at Cao Kun.
Cao Kun: "A place where evil gathers cannot retain vengeful spirits."
The Holy Son of the Mountain was puzzled: "Since it is a place where evil spirits gather, shouldn't it make the evil spirits stronger?"
Cao Kun: "No, the evil-gathering ground will absorb the evil spirits and integrate them into the terrain."
"Huh?" Yamashita Seiko's expression changed: "So domineering?"
Cao Kun: "To be precise, it's not just yin spirits; any person or thing containing yin and evil energy will be completely absorbed and merged into the terrain."
The eighteen people who died earlier must have died in the same way.
The Holy Child of the Mountain nodded. After all, she was also a heretical cultivator. Although her cultivation level was not high, she still understood the basics.
Although places that gather evil energy only absorb negative energy, imagine how terrifying the negative energy would be if a normal, ordinary person lived in such a place for a long time.
At the very least, you'll have terrible luck every day, and all sorts of unpleasant things will happen to you.
Cao Kun said that as long as there is yin energy, this place that gathers evil will absorb it. The holy son at the foot of the mountain was immediately afraid: "Then master, what about us? Will we be absorbed?"
Cao Kun laughed and said, "Don't worry, the influence of this evil gathering place is limited, and I can still suppress it."
This is similar to certain Yin-Yang techniques; as long as it can't absorb me, I'll absorb it.
Only Cao Kun would dare to say such a thing now.
He would never have dared to say that before the evil altar was built.
Seiko Yamashita laughed and said, "That's wonderful, Master. Let's buy this house right away."
In 1995, the first homeowner renovated the house, spending a total of more than $200,000.
That was over $200,000 in 1995, which shows how much the homeowner was willing to spend.
Houses from the same period are all becoming more and more expensive.
This house, however, kept getting cheaper and cheaper.
To date, Cao Kun bought this house for only $80,000.
Of course, with all the taxes, fees, and a tip for Sarah, it cost more than $100,000 in total.
In addition, an extra property tax must be paid every year.
The US tax authorities don't care whether you buy a haunted house or not; they just say you have to pay taxes if you want a house.
Thus, six months after arriving in this world, Cao Kun finally had a home that truly belonged to him.
However, the transfer procedures still need to be handled by the intermediary, which will take some time.
Fortunately, it didn't prevent them from moving in.
The next day, Cao Kun hired a housekeeping company to do post-construction cleaning at three times the market price.
There's nothing we can do; once people hear it's this house, they simply don't come.
Cao Kun had to pay a high price before they reluctantly agreed.
Actually, although the place is filled with evil spirits, nothing bad will happen in just one or two days.
Three days later, Cao Kun and Yamashita Seiko officially moved into their new house.
The two did not hold any ceremony; they simply had Seiko Yamashita cook a Chinese meal and that was it.
Seiko Yamashita's Chinese cooking skills have finally improved somewhat.
But it's just barely good enough to be edible.
Fortunately, Cao Kun was not picky.
The main point is that even masters of the Evil Platform still need to eat.
Otherwise, they would still starve to death.
After living there for two days, Cao Kun became increasingly satisfied with his new home.
This natural gathering place for evil spirits is of immense help to those practicing heresy.
Even though he was already a fifth-grade Evil Platform cultivator, he still benefited greatly from each cultivation session.
That's right, Seiko Yamashita isn't quite used to this place.
Fortunately, with Cao Kun suppressing her, she was able to remain unaffected by the evil gathering place and instead made great progress.
But if Cao Kun isn't here, over time she will be drawn back by the evil spirits.
"Master, what are you doing?"
When the Holy Son of the Mountain saw Cao Kun fiddling with a doll, whose appearance was somewhat similar to hers, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
Cao Kun: "Never mind that, what was your birth date?"
Seiko Yamashita quickly reported this.
As a heretical cultivator who inherits the culture of the Dragon Kingdom, he is naturally familiar with the concept of birth date and time.
Cao Kun picked up a pen and wrote down the name and birth date of the Holy Son of the Mountain on a piece of paper. Then he rolled up the paper and stuffed it into the doll.
Then, he took out two expensive amulet coins and stuffed them in.
After sewing the doll back together, Cao Kun looked at the Holy Son at the foot of the mountain and said, "Give me some of your blood."
Without saying a word, the young man from the mountain grabbed a knife and was about to cut his wrist.
"Are you stupid? Just cut your finger." Cao Kun cursed, speechless.
"Oh." Seiko Yamashita cut his finger and put some blood into the bowl.
Cao Kun threw in some materials and mixed the blood into blood ink.
Using this blood ink, Cao Kun drew several runes on the puppet.
Once the blood ink had dried, Cao Kun handed the doll to the Holy Son of the Mountain: "At 11 p.m. tonight, go to the basement, find the 'Kan' position, dig a pit three feet three inches deep, and bury this doll in it."
"Understood, Master." Yamashita Seiko took the doll. "What's the use of this?"
Cao Kun: "This is your makeshift substitute. Bury this in the spot I just mentioned, and the yin-gathering ground will feel as if it has already absorbed you into the earth's energy."
The connection to your physical body will weaken, and its influence on you will naturally decrease.
"Such a miraculous thing!" The Holy Son of the Mountain's eyes lit up. "But the Gathering Yin Land is just a special terrain; it has no sentience. Can we really be fooled?"
Cao Kun: "It's because they lack intelligence that they're easily deceived. If they had intelligence, this thing would be useless. Alright, stop asking questions, just do as I say."
11 p.m.
Following Cao Kun's instructions, Yamashita Seiko went to the basement alone and buried the doll in a pre-dug pit.
A short while later, she came up, still covered in dirt.
But she was full of surprise: "Master, really, the influence of this place on me has really weakened, this is amazing."
Cao Kun was not surprised at all, after all, his curse spell had reached level five.
This is the substitution method used in witchcraft.
It would be strange if it didn't work.
Cao Kun told the Holy Son of the Mountain to cultivate on his own and took out the remaining amulet coins.
There were originally 42 coins, but two have been used, leaving only 40.
These amulet coins proved very useful.
Without this amulet, the effect of dealing with Annabelle would not have been as good.
Now, the problem of the Holy Son of the Mountain being affected by the evil gathering place has been easily solved.
Besides these, it has many other amazing uses.
It can be said that these amulet coins have no other drawbacks except for their high price.
In particular, some of them have exceptionally strong apotropaic power; if used properly, they can produce incredible effects.
Oh, besides being expensive, these amulet coins have another drawback.
