Shen Luo simply ignored the people around him, his eyes swept across the ghost catching list, and soon stopped on a task.
"I've accepted the mission from the West City Chunxiang Winery." Shen Luo walked to the mission table and said.
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." The attitude of the Bai family's steward behind the desk was completely different from before. He put on a flattering smile on his face and immediately took out the task booklet to record it.
After Shen Luo finished registering, he walked towards his residence under the escort of everyone.
After returning to the house, he took out the talisman paper he had just bought from his arms and placed the talisman ink on the table. After calming his mind, he took a piece of talisman paper and began to draw a small thunder talisman.
He painted for the whole day and stopped only in the evening. On his right hand side, there was a thick stack of small thunder talismans, about thirty of them. On his left hand side, there were even more talismans, but they were all failures.
"Drawing more than thirty small thunder talismans a day can exchange for more than two fairy jades. This speed is not bad." Shen Luo muttered to himself, put away the talismans, and then closed his eyes to rest.
After nightfall, he got up and left the Bai Mansion, heading west of the city as if he knew the way. He soon arrived at a large winery, stated his identity, and entered.
After half an hour, bursts of thunder were heard from the village, mixed with the screams of ghosts, which soon faded away.
A moment later, Shen Luo came out of the winery. His face was quite pale, and half of the sleeve on his right hand was missing. He looked quite embarrassed.
"Without Senior Ma Mian's help, it is indeed quite difficult to face these ghosts alone." He raised his right hand. There were three long scratches on his arm. The skin and flesh were rolled up, but not much blood was shed.
Although the cultivation level of the ghost this time was not too high, it was only at the initial stage of Bigu Qigong, but its tracks were secretive and it moved as fast as the wind. Even though his Slanting Moon Step was already at a high level and he was as careful as possible, he was still injured by it. If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would be impossible to defeat it without two or three Bigu Qigong cultivators leading the team.
Fortunately, he had prepared enough small thunder talismans, and he was able to kill it in the end.
He turned over his left hand, and held a white round bead filled with Yin energy in it. It was naturally the object used by the ghost to condense the Yin energy.
"In any case, the mission is accomplished, and five fairy jades are in hand." A hint of joy flashed across Shen Luo's face, and he quickened his pace towards the Bai family.
In the next few days, he spent his days drawing talismans at home, and at night he would occasionally take on some tasks that he thought he was confident of. Excluding losses, the speed at which he earned fairy jades was quite astonishing. He could often earn more than five fairy jades a day.
After nearly two months of joint eradication efforts led by the three major families, the situation in Jianye City and nearby counties and towns has finally changed significantly. The number of existing ghosts has become fewer and fewer, almost zero, and no new ghost problems have been reported.
Of course, as the competition got closer to the final moment, the competition among the three parties became more and more intense, and some tasks that originally seemed thankless were quickly completed.
The residents of Jianye City naturally soon noticed this change. While they were excited, they gradually resumed their original daily lives and work.
It was not until the beginning of winter that the government officially announced that the ghost plague in Jianye City had been eliminated and peace had been completely restored inside and outside the city.
The residents held a grand celebration, and the city was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns to celebrate the fact that the ghost plague had been eradicated. Everyone was laughing heartily.
