Xu Guang ignored Su Yan's thoughts and frowned.

Everything in the courtyard had been turned to ruins by General Wei's rampage and savage trampling.

But a small house on the western side...

Remained standing from beginning to end, clearly looking like a dangerous building, yet capable of resisting the violent Yang Qi radiating from General Wei.

Su Yan and the others also noticed this.

"Xu Guang..."

"Don't come in!"

Xu Guang interrupted harshly.

The Yin energy in this courtyard was too strong right now, and without the sunlit aura from General Wei's body, anyone entering would find the Yin Qi invading their bodies. They wouldn't fall into a sickly state like an ordinary person, but their vitality and blood would be greatly depleted.

His eyes were fixed on the small house in the courtyard, a strange gleam slowly surfacing in his eyes.

The Celestial Register, specially brought out by him, started to emit a gentle warmth at its top.

"Still not willing to come out?"

"General Wei, charge over there, let me see what is pretending to be a ghost here."

General Wei responded excitedly and rushed forward with Xu Guang.

Just as the ivory was about to press against the small wooden house, a thick black mist erupted, akin to a mushroom cloud explosion. This was real black mist, visible to the outside world, containing power that had reached into the material realm.

Everything in the small courtyard vanished from Su Yan and the others' sight.

"Xu Guang!" Su Yan shouted.

There was no response.

Her face instantly turned grim.

Before reaching the Innate stage, martial artists are at a complete disadvantage against Yin Ghosts, relying only on their own fervor to drive away the Yin Ghosts. But to obliterate them is truly difficult.

The Sheep and Deer Generals stepped forward, blocking Su Yan's impulse to enter.

"Yan Gu, you must not go in."

They might have simple minds but they're not fools, Su Yan absolutely cannot come to harm.

Su Yan's face was as calm as water, she glanced at the two, saying nothing more.

...

General Wei's ivory still pressed against the small wooden house, and amidst the crisscrossing of black Qi, Xu Guang saw something different.

A strange human figure, whose face was deathly pale, with eyes and lips reduced to a single black line, stood at the window, glaring at him venomously. Gender was indiscernible.

Sensing Xu Guang's gaze, the woman suddenly pressed her whole face against the wooden window, her pallid visage distorting severely, as if boneless, blood seeping.

Originally, Xu Guang thought he would be very scared encountering such a Yin Ghost.

But now...

He felt like laughing somewhat.

This level of creepy trickery couldn't frighten him at all.

Just as he was about to speak, the woman suddenly vanished.

Soon, an intolerable creaking sound came from the small wooden house above.

All of a sudden, Xu Guang felt a chill on his back, as if something rushed at him.

Turning around, he saw the strange woman he had seen before, appearing meters away.

Was it teleportation?

In the blink of an eye…

The woman was even closer.

Blinking again…

The woman collided with General Wei and then... was flung backward.

A pitiful scream nearly resounded throughout all of Qingshuo County.

The terrifying Yang Qi, suppressed and trapped within five meters of General Wei, violently emitted outwards at that moment.

Xu Guang slowly raised his hand, giving the ghost woman a thumbs-up.

"You're really something."

The thing about Yin Ghosts is they fear those brimming with Yang Qi most, even if the person lacks means to specifically repel Yin Ghosts.

The term 'Spirit Guidance for Tigers' implies that tigers have inconceivably abundant Yang Qi, and their skin naturally harbors a mystical suppressive power. Hence, mountain ghosts encountering a Mountain Monarch are easily captured and turned into subordinate spirits.

Even without the techniques of a Mountain Monarch, General Wei now had not only the blood of the Kunlun Beast flowing within him but also... a Dragon Vein!

The ghost woman was oozing black blood all over, wailing madly, screaming, her venomous eyes even more sinister, as though she wanted to devour someone.

Xu Guang grew more composed, confirming General Wei's restraining effect on Fierce Ghosts.

At the same time, the aura he exuded slightly intensified, making him feel more secure.

[Horizontal Pressure] took effect.

So...

'You're not even Seventh Grade? Then what are you being so arrogant for!?'

Xu Guang instantly raised a silver thread in his hand, shifting the position of a Broken Spear among a few weapons he previously arranged. In a flash, the Qiankun Small Array transformed, launching a horrifying suppressive force that only the Fierce Ghost could sense.

Instantly subduing the ghost woman.

She staggered just as she was about to stand up.

The female ghost, seemingly devoid of fear, charged at Xu Guang with a frenzied roar, like a beast trapped in battle.

"General Wei, stomp her, but don't crush her completely."

General Wei was already itching with anticipation. For some reason, upon seeing this female ghost, he felt an irresistible urge to stomp her to death.

Yin and Yang are inherently opposed.

Especially with his extremely Yang body, when faced with such an extremely Yin and evil existence as the female ghost, the innate loathing in his heart was amplified by the [Encourage].

Ah~!!

The female ghost's scream was still earth-shattering. Xu Guang had prepared in advance, covering his ears tightly.

Unexpectedly, General Wei had also learned from experience, folding his large fan-like ears to block out the sound.

[Feng Shui Master's Log: Suppressed an unformed fierce ghost, improved the Feng Shui of an area, experience +120]

The experience of a Feng Shui Master is indeed numerous.

This fierce ghost was roughly equivalent to a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist, but the experience from killing a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist should be around fifty points. The additional experience likely came from improving the Feng Shui of this courtyard.

Without thinking much, Xu Guang landed and signaled General Wei to lift his jade foot.

He wanted to see what the ghost's corpse was.

However, what he hadn't expected was that when General Wei lifted his foot, it revealed an irregular black coagulum, giving off an extremely sinister and evil feeling.

Do ghosts leave behind essence after dying?

Xu Guang was slightly surprised as he picked up the stone.

"When a dog dies, there's a dog treasure; when a donkey dies, there's a donkey treasure; let's call this a ghost treasure."

'With this, using Feng Shui arrays to let the Yin Qi taint my aura, and then infusing this Yin Qi into the Celestial Register, it should allow for the initial use of the Celestial Register.'

This was Xu Guang's own thought. He wasn't aware of the official method to use the Celestial Register, but he believed his way should be feasible.

As the female ghost died, the Yin Qi polluted by the female ghost in the vision gradually dissipated with the sunlight.

Everything in the courtyard reappeared before Su Yan and the others.

Seeing Xu Guang, they were initially shocked, but immediately followed by joy.

"Dharma Protector Xu, what about the female monster in the courtyard?"

Xu Guang glanced at the eagerly questioning Sheep General and then politely cupped his fists towards Su Yan.

"Glad to have fulfilled the mission."

With one sentence, the surroundings fell into a respectful silence.

Then came a series of deep breaths.

Su Yan couldn't help but take two deep breaths. It was actually... resolved.

This Xu Guang...

In the Feng Shui skill, he had indeed achieved something.

In such a short time...

Su Yan grew increasingly enthusiastic, inviting Xu Guang and General Wei to the black market.

General Wei was so large that even the black market's signboard had to be removed.

Both General Wei's displayed ferocity in battle and Xu Guang's method of using Feng Shui to suppress the Yin ghost left Su Yan and the Sheep and Deer Generals utterly convinced.

As for what their subordinates thought, they couldn't care less.

Su Yan also mentioned the small wooden house in the black market that had caused several people to disappear.

Xu Guang had no objections. Upon seeing the small house, he nonchalantly requested Su Yan to gather some jade and weapons used by Martial Artists, setting up a Qiankun Small Array to suppress it.

This small house was highly likely the place where the female ghost was born!

There must be a treasure here nurturing the Yin ghost, but from Xu Guang's current perspective, that treasure hadn't fully developed yet.

He didn't destroy it further but intended to try using the ghost treasure to refine the Celestial Register. If the effects weren't satisfactory, he might have to rely on this place to nurture the Yin ghost.

"This place can't be resolved for the time being, but I have set up a Feng Shui array. It will be safe for a short period, so the workshop master can rest easy."

Although Su Yan was a bit disappointed, upon hearing this, she still thanked Xu Guang solemnly.

She now felt more confident that her previous decision was entirely correct. For someone like Xu Guang, he must be drawn in, whether for his accomplishments in Feng Shui or alchemy, it already warranted her favor.

Moreover, Xu Guang also promised to help her tame a Great Beast when the time was right.

Having witnessed General Wei's prowess, Su Yan was eagerly anticipating it.

"This incident counts as me owing you a favor. In a few days, a batch of goods will arrive, and I'll give you the list. Pick whatever you want first!"

Xu Guang raised an eyebrow, "Including those that are already spoken for?"

Su Yan waved generously, "Of course, in this black market, anything you have your eyes on is yours."

Her voice had a peculiar tone.

Xu Guang chuckled and said no more.

However, regarding this matter, Su Yan also made a gesture; the archery skill and matching bow she had asked her to find not long ago had also been traced.

The arrow skill is called [Fallen Dragon]!

The bow is the Snow Dragon Bow, and the arrow is the Black Horseshoe Crab Arrow.

Xu Guang was very satisfied with this. The set of bow and arrow was worth a fortune. Along with a top-grade Seventh-Grade Medicinal Material from the black market's hidden stash - the Red Sun Lotus, it was gratitude for this incident.
