The one yang talisman and three yang talisman pasted on the doors and windows were all taken down by Gao Xian.
Sitting on the bed, Gao Xian held the six yang talismans in his left hand, his gaze shifting back and forth between the doors and windows.
After a while, he started to feel a bit tired!
Gao Xian felt this was not right.
He didn't know when the evil spirits would come.
Being so nervous like this was putting too much mental pressure on him.
He needed to relax.
Even without Lan Jie's help, he was now very sensitive.
It must be said that the master-level True Yang Spear was of great help to him.
Gao Xian slowly closed his eyes, and Lan Jie appeared in his mind's eye.
With his right hand forming the hand seal of the True Yang Spear, Lan Jie helped him condense the talisman in his mind's eye.
The master-level True Yang Spear had the exquisite function of refining the divine sense.
Having cultivated for so long, Gao Xian was already accustomed to the method of meditation.
Guided by the breathing technique and Lan Jie, his tense and excited emotions naturally calmed down.
Soon, he eliminated distracting thoughts and entered a state of clarity.
In the depths of his mind, Gao Xian felt his divine intent and essence condense into a golden spear, continuously refining and sharpening through his pure yang aura, making the golden spear even harder and sharper.
This process not only consumed his mental power and yang energy but also enhanced his mental power and yang energy.
It was a positive cycle.
The upgrade of the True Yang Spear to the master level depended entirely on the addition of human Dao spiritual light.
Through his personal cultivation, Gao Xian deeply felt the subtlety of the master-level True Yang Spear.
This kind of cultivation brought about an indescribable sense of comfort and ease, second only to his dual cultivation with Lan Jie.
Immersed in this state of clarity, Gao Xian seemed to be neither asleep nor awake.
After an unknown period of time, Gao Xian suddenly felt a heaviness in his heart, which brought him back from his state of clarity.
The room was unusually dim, with faint moonlight seeping through the window paper.
A cold wind blew in through the crack in the door, making Gao Xian shiver.
His heart tightened, "Is it here already?"
Although Gao Xian was prepared, facing the evil spirits still made him a bit anxious.
He was starting to regret not asking for help from Qi Niang or Zhou Yuling.
Despite Zhou Yuling being a year younger than him, she had already reached the seventh level of Qi cultivation.
She was also skilled in talisman-making, making her a top talent in Feima Village.
But now it was too late to find help!
Gao Xian held his breath, staring fixedly at the door.
To lure the evil spirits in, the door was slightly ajar.
Gao Xian couldn't see outside, but he noticed that all the surrounding sounds had disappeared.
Normally, there would be the sound of wind brushing past, the chirping of cicadas, the buzzing of insects, and various subtle and complex sounds coming from afar.
Now, all these sounds had vanished.
The silence around him felt eerie.
Although Gao Xian couldn't see the evil spirits, he felt as if a thick black mist was enveloping him, completely isolating him from the outside world, causing him to instinctively feel intense unease.
Fortunately, with Lan Jie's talisman condensed in his mind's eye and the True Yang Spear he had been preparing for a long time, he felt a bit more confident.
The door was silently pushed open.
The crude wooden door made a loud creak every time it opened or closed, but this time, the sound seemed to have been absorbed by some special force.
Gao Xian became even more nervous.
It seemed like the evil spirits had some skills!
A dark figure floated in from outside the door.
The figure was thin, with half of its head missing, and only a single incomplete eyeball emitting a strange green light.
Just by seeing the half-headed figure, Gao Xian recognized him - it was the deceased Lao Wang.
This guy had truly turned into an evil spirit!
Gao Xian became even more frightened, but with Lan Jie's talisman in his mind's eye and the fully prepared True Yang Spear, he felt a great sense of security.
Without further delay, he immediately formed the hand seal and silently recited the incantation to unleash the True Yang Spear.
The golden spear in the depths of Gao Xian's mind suddenly shot out, and he even saw the golden light shining as the spear tore through the darkness.
To be precise, Gao Xian saw the reflection of the golden light in the incomplete eye of the evil spirit.
The evil spirit on the other side also sensed the True Yang Spear.
It seemed startled and made a backward movement to evade.
However, the True Yang Spear, activated by Gao Xian's thoughts, was both invisible and swift in its flight.
The distance between Gao Xian and the evil spirit was only a dozen feet.
Before the evil spirit could react, the True Yang Spear had deeply pierced its chest.
With a sound like a red-hot iron rod being plunged into cold water, a large hole suddenly appeared in the evil spirit's chest.
The evil spirit exploded into thousands of black fragments, scattering like ashes from burnt paper.
The evil spirit let out an extremely mournful howl, causing Gao Xian's spirit to tremble as if he had been stabbed by an invisible sharp cone.
Fortunately, the talisman condensed by Lan Jie in his mind's eye blocked out the piercing sound, and Gao Xian quickly regained his composure.
The evil spirit had turned into a black shadow and disappeared in an instant.
Gao Xian was about to activate the six yang talisman in his hand, but he found that the talisman was thick and sluggish, unable to be activated immediately.
With a moment of hesitation, the evil spirit had already vanished without a trace.
Gao Xian realized that the more powerful the talisman, the more difficult it was to activate.
Lacking experience in this area, he was unprepared.
Failing to activate the six yang talisman immediately gave the evil spirit a chance to escape.
He felt somewhat regretful, but it was too late to say anything now.
The half-moon hung in the night sky, casting a pale light on the ground.
Outside the walls, there were faint sounds of insects and frogs, and in the distance, various human voices could be heard, creating a peaceful and calm atmosphere.
Standing in the courtyard, Gao Xian could no longer sense any trace of the evil spirit.
Everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.
He looked around in confusion, unable to determine the direction from which the evil spirit had escaped.
Although Feima Village was not large, it was filled with houses, woodpiles, and piles of garbage.
If the evil spirit hid anywhere, he would never be able to find it.
Moreover, going out alone to chase the evil spirit at this late hour was too dangerous.
Not only was the evil spirit a threat, but other cultivators were equally dangerous.
After weighing his options, Gao Xian wisely gave up on the idea of chasing the evil spirit.
Although he had not completely dealt with the evil spirit this time, he had discovered its weakness.
The True Yang Spear was truly effective against evil spirits.
Once he accumulated enough human Dao spiritual light and raised the True Yang Spear to the Grandmaster level, one strike would be enough to deal with the evil spirit!
Next time, he would have the experience to know how to activate the six yang talisman.
Although he was disappointed with this outcome, Gao Xian quickly calmed his mind.
"A mere evil spirit is not a threat! The advantage is mine!"
Gao Xian was good at comforting himself and accepting reality.
It was a bit regrettable that he had failed in his efforts, but there was no need to be too upset.
For the next period of time, Gao Xian's daily routine consisted of cultivation, eating, and alchemy.
The little black cat was still not affectionate towards him, but it no longer resisted being petted.
At least during meals, he could pet it.
This made Gao Xian feel much better.
On the other hand, Zhou Ye gradually opened up his sales channels, selling off more than half of the five hundred deer antlers.
Although Gao Xian had not made any money, he had obtained more than four hundred pieces of human Dao spiritual light.
Originally, he had planned to save all the human Dao spiritual light for the True Yang Spear.
However, when he opened the Wind and Moon Mirror and saw the list of skills on the back, he hesitated...
