Since the establishment of the imperial city, the Taoist soldiers would enter the imperial city when they had nothing to do. Here, they could patrol, stay stationed, and rest.
However, after starting to engrave the runes, Xu Luo felt that these evil spirits were not enough.
He drew the runes and then let the Yin spirits fill them in.
The speed of painting is naturally very fast, but the power of filling is real.
After each ghost had exerted their strength, they recovered too slowly in the den of ghosts.
It was impossible for Xu Luo to let them go.
Once he goes out, he becomes disobedient.
So the only thing we can do is let them absorb the Yin energy and recover slowly.
It looks like there are thousands of Yin spirits, but to fill a little bit of rune, many Yin spirits will have to use up all their power.
So Xu Luo put all his strength into it, and these evil spirits would soon be used up.
Therefore, there were not enough coolies.
This made Xu Luo feel a little regretful that he couldn't put all his effort into building the city wall.
At this rate, it would take a long time to build a city wall, and it was still unknown whether it could be completed before the battle.
If it can be completed, Xu Luo is confident that he can overwhelm his peers with just a city wall.
After all, there are too many runes engraved on this city wall.
Using the city wall to press it down is equivalent to thousands or tens of thousands of talismans attacking at the same time. Who can stop it?
However, even though there were many things to do, Xu Luo did not change his habits.
He started to do morning lessons, meditate, make fire and cook, command Taoist soldiers to make spiritual paper, study Taoist magic and spells, and then fold paper to fill the imperial city and engrave runes.
At night, he would fly out, collecting yin energy and ghosts from all over the place, constantly replenishing the power in his hands.
He would not kill anyone unless it was necessary.
These are all precious labor resources.
The good thing about being able to fly is that you can fly around and look for ghosts at will.
However, ever since everyone realized the function of the Yinhun Pearl, they have been traveling together to kill Yin spirits, so the number of Yin spirits near Xuansu Mountain is really pitifully small.
Even though Xu Luo was as hardworking as a bee, the number of gnats he could find in one night was very small.
Even the disciples from various peaks of Xuansu Mountain, since they reached the stage of spiritual refinement and were able to fly, chose to run away to other places like Xu Luo.
But they don’t have the Ghost Gathering Banner, so their efficiency is not as good as his.
But even so, being able to harvest one or two Yinhun beads in one night is a very good thing.
This thing is a very good choice for making magical tools and improving cultivation.
Xu Luo was very indifferent to this and just went with the flow.
He just often ran into the dense forest.
Set up the Yin Gathering Formation one by one.
Compared to running around, he felt that setting up a Yin Gathering Formation and collecting it every once in a while would be more efficient.
Moreover, you can use the Yin Gathering Formation to attract Yin spirits, and maybe even attract Yin spirits that you haven't noticed.
The Ghost Gathering Banner absorbs negative energy and also needs to gather it slowly.
But after setting up the Yin Gathering Formation, it would gather energy on its own at ordinary times. Xu Luo would go to collect it every once in a while, and the harvest would definitely be greater.
A drop of soul-nourishing liquid takes one or two days to gather (normally, there is not so much Yin energy), and a drop of soul-nourishing liquid is enough to sustain the consumption of more than a dozen Taoist soldiers for a day.
Even if you use all your strength to activate the Ghost Gathering Banner to absorb negative energy, it will still take a while.
He hid deep in the dense forest and set up several Yin Gathering Formations. Every time he went to collect the soul-nourishing liquid, he could get a lot of it, which made Xu Luo very happy.
However, he only dared to set it up in the dense forest behind Tiandu Peak.
This cannot be done in other places for fear that evil spirits will gather here and affect nearby villages and towns.
However, the mountain behind Tiandu Peak is huge, so it is enough to arrange it there.
Usually Xu Luo travels around and only goes to collect it occasionally.
After starting to use Yin Spirits, Xu Luo also discovered their limitations.
Although only a little bit of Yin energy is needed to maintain their existence, their disadvantage is also obvious, that is, they need to be controlled by the Ghost Gathering Banner. Once released, they will not be obedient.
Now that he was in need of people, he could only choose to consume the Yin Qi in the ghost den, and then perform sacrifices to refine these Yin spirits into Taoist soldiers. Although it usually consumed more Yin Qi, it also had its benefits.
Not only is the combat effectiveness improved, but more importantly, after filling the runes and consuming their power, they can be placed in the dense forest to allow them to absorb the free yin energy between heaven and earth and restore themselves.
This is naturally much better than the ghosts only being able to absorb the yin energy in the ghost den to replenish themselves.
Although it seems that more Yin Energy is consumed in a short period of time, it is more cost-effective in the long run.
Time passes by little by little.
The Double Ninth Festival, the Double Ninth Festival of the year, has passed just like that.
After the Double Ninth Festival, the pure and spiritual energy can no longer suppress the turbid and yin energy.
Therefore, the negative energy that had originally sunk into the ground began to rise.
Although it is not as exaggerated as the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, it is a subtle process. The continuous release of negative energy every day leads to an increase in the concentration of negative energy between heaven and earth.
What followed was that the evil spirits began to become active.
The Twelve Meridians and the Buddhist land were okay. They were powerful. Except for being caught off guard at the beginning, they slowly cleaned up later. Their core area had been cleaned up long ago, and the remaining evil spirits were just for the disciples to practice.
But apart from the core areas, the peripheral areas, and the dynasty areas, these are really places where evil spirits wreak havoc.
Even Buddhists and Taoists would find the situation within the dynasty very troubled.
At the beginning, their main focus was on their own family. Although the Taoist sect sent people to take action, their attention was definitely not as great as their own.
The Taoist sect stabilized its base, but suffered a complete defeat within the dynasty.
Especially with the continuous defeats, large numbers of people died, cities were breached, and the Yin spirits transformed into evil spirits. Not only did their strength increase greatly, but their realm also improved rapidly.
When a large number of level seven, eight, and even level nine ghosts, evil spirits, and zombies appeared in the dynasty, even Buddhism and Taoism could no longer easily get rid of them.
Even though the two families stabilized their own situation and began to send personnel to the dynasty to deal with the evil spirits, they can only suppress them now, but have no way to solve it.
They knew that high-level evil spirits kept appearing and they had no way to stop this trend.
Unless they mobilized their most powerful forces and launched a real decisive battle, even if they killed a hundred or eighty evil spirits of levels seven, eight, or nine, they would not be able to reverse the situation.
So, everything is stuck here.
In the Taoist territory, evil spirits are hard to find and are dealt with by disciples as soon as they appear.
Evil spirits are everywhere in the dynasty, and anyone who encounters one can only flee.
The two situations directly led to polarization.
