After everyone left, Wei Mian was about to go upstairs when she remembered the check on the table. She picked it up and saw that the amount on it was 30 million.
Thirty million!
This made Wei Mian jealous, as he worked hard for a year but his savings were still less than two million.
Of the more than one million yuan in her savings, one million was just contributed by Uncle Qian, which means that the Zheng family can easily spend several times her total assets.
Wei Mian shook the check, took it to the study, and found a box to put it in. Since the other party was not short of money, she accepted it. No one would complain about having too much money, right?
Zhiyuanzhai owns half of the Zheng family's shares, so only a small portion of Master Zheng's talismans are put there for sale, and most of them are just waiting for people to come to him for requests.
The price of a single talisman is five hundred thousand, and this is just a basic talisman. If it is an intermediate or advanced one, it will cost several million each, and there is no market for it.
So Zheng Kaiyuan was in a dilemma when he wrote the check to Wei Mian. If he sold the advanced defensive talisman, even if he offered a price of five million per piece, there would be many people from the Taoist sect who would rush to buy it.
You have to know that this thing can be used as a trump card to save your life. No amount of money can buy back your life.
The check Zheng Kaiyuan wrote for 30 million was actually too low, but people didn't mind.
————
Wei Mian had used up all the talismans she had prepared before, and she had to draw some more. She felt that she was in good shape today, and wondered if she could draw some advanced talismans.
So that night, the light in the study on the second floor of the small western-style building remained on until late at night.
The results were naturally gratifying. Wei Mian now had ten more high-level defensive talismans, three high-level ghost-exorcising talismans, and several intermediate-level five-thunder talismans, ghost-exorcising talismans, and defensive talismans. Two more of the evil spirits like those from yesterday would be enough.
Wei Mian's mind did not stop working while she was drawing the talisman paper. She kept thinking about whether there were any other ways to completely strangle that thing.
It's not that she hadn't thought about opening the ghost gate and kicking the evil ghost in, but the ghost gate is not so easy to open. She discovered during the battle yesterday that the evil ghost not only had the aura of death, but also a hint of life.
The ghost gate will not open if it senses anger. In its view, that means the person is not dead yet, and it will only open after death when a ghost comes to lead him.
Besides, that thing has killed many people. Sending him to reincarnate would be too easy for him. It would be better to let his soul fly away.
Wei Mian picked and chose, and finally decided to use the Soul-Destroying Formation, which could ensure that the other party had no chance of survival.
However, with her current strength, it was still a bit difficult for her to set up the Soul-Destroying Formation. Wei Mian drew the formation diagram on paper and then used the compass to deduce it.
While calculating, I took a pen and scribbled in a few places. It took me a whole morning to finally finish the drawing.
This was the formation diagram that was modified by the third senior brother in the past. After he finished modifying it, he chased Wei Mian to explain the reason for the modification.
This Soul-Destroying Formation was discovered by the ancestors of the Zhengyang Sect by chance on the body of a deceased fellow Taoist. However, because the method was too vicious, it had never been used and the disciples were not allowed to learn it.
However, the third senior brother was born with a special talent in formations and had restored many ancient formations, so the master secretly showed it to him, wanting him to try to improve it.
After all, this Soul-Destroying Formation is more powerful than the famous Taoist killing formations such as the Eight Gates Locking Gold Formation and the Seven Killing Formation.
The Soul-Destroying Formation has three functions: the first is to trap, the second is to destroy, and the third is to cross.
"Kun", as the name suggests, means to trap the target, which can be a soul or a living person. Once trapped in the Soul-Destroying Formation, even the Ghost King will find it difficult to escape.
"Destroy" naturally means to destroy the target. The word "soul" in the Soul-Destroying Formation lets people know that this formation is aimed at the soul, and what is killed is naturally the soul. For those who rely on the soul to practice like evil spirits and ghost kings, the Soul-Destroying Formation is their nemesis.
This is why this formation is considered sinister. It has the same effect as the Soul Refining Formation in this respect. The Soul Refining Formation collects soul power into a container, and the person who sets up the formation chooses how to deal with it, such as injecting it into an ordinary soul to enhance the opponent's strength.
The Soul-Destroying Formation directly transfers all the collected soul power to the person who sets up the formation, increasing their strength in a very short period of time.
Although it can absorb the cultivation of others to enhance its own strength, the law of nature is fair. The person who sets up the formation will also lose a lot of essence, which is almost like using his lifespan to improve his strength.
Every peck and every drink has its own way.
However, the soul-destroying formation set up by Wei Mian is considered an improved version, because when the third senior brother set up this formation, his purpose was not to improve his own strength, but to use it as a formation that can completely destroy evil spirits and souls.
As for the other party's cultivation, after being transformed by the formation, it naturally turned into spiritual energy and dissipated between heaven and earth, returning to where it came from.
You won't get any benefits, but you won't have to consume any essence. You'll just have to consume some spiritual power and talismans, but these are secondary compared to being able to kill powerful evil spirits.
Wei Mian asked the Zheng family to investigate when the first mysterious death occurred.
The next day, news came from the Zheng family. Because the person who had the accident initially might have thought it was a sudden death and did not report it, they could only retrieve it from the hospital's medical records. The earliest one they could find was in early June. This does not rule out the possibility that there were deaths at home that were not reported to the hospital.
It was not until mid-June when three people died in succession that the Public Security Bureau began to take the matter seriously. Zheng Heng's accident happened at the end of June.
Wei Mian remembered hearing his master mention before that the time to gather all the souls was limited and it had to be completed within 49 days.
Wei Mian didn't know exactly when it started, she could only seize the time as quickly as possible. If that person failed to hit Zheng Heng the first time, he would definitely not let him go the second time.
Just when Wei Mian was preparing the formation, that thing came to his door again.
Wei Mian was not at home at the time. It was Zheng Kaiyuan and Zheng's second and third uncles who stayed by Zheng Heng's side. Fortunately, with the help of some talismans provided by Wei Mian, they managed to fight the thing for half the night without any danger. In the end, it ran away in disgrace.
Wei Mian only heard from Zheng Hao afterwards that Zheng Kaiyuan was seriously injured in order to protect Zheng Heng.
She couldn't help but frown when she heard this. Seeing that the evil ghost was determined to get what he wanted, she was afraid that time was running out.
Wei Mian made some final modifications to the Soul-Destroying Formation, making sure it was exactly the same as what his third senior brother had taught him. Only then did he begin looking for a place to set up the formation. This place couldn't be in the city, lest the Soul-Destroying Formation accidentally injure anyone once it was activated. It would be best if it was in a sparsely populated area.
After selecting the several places that Zheng Kaiyuan was sent to one by one, Wei Mian decided on a very remote villa of the Zheng family.
This villa is vacant most of the time, and is sometimes used to receive fellow Taoists who don't like to be disturbed. There is no one within a five-mile radius of that place, which is very suitable for Wei Mian to set up the formation.
She took half a day to prepare everything she needed, and then went for a walk in Fengshui Street. This time, she didn't have to worry about the price, and directly picked out a few things she could use in Zhiyuanzhai without having to pay.
