The Post Sky Tipping Era

As the fire burned, with the addition of various herbs, a strange fragrance was released which felt refreshing and invigorating to ordinary people and even more fatally attractive to ghosts. This scent could attract all nearby ghosts.

However, it was still evening, and there was still sunlight. Some underground ghosts that were lured out dissipated quickly under the sunlight.

This was the reason why the initial alchemy process went so smoothly.

But not all ghosts were oblivious. Some of them seemed to possess a certain intelligence, knowing to avoid the sun. They moved forward through the shadows alongside the walls and houses, and it wasn’t long before they had approached near the pill furnace.

"Meng De, how is the situation?" Zhao Ge asked.

Li Yi stood beside the pill furnace at that moment, his eyes bright as he scanned the surroundings. In his sight, there were at least three intelligent ghosts that had quietly approached.

"Many ghosts were attracted by the medicinal fragrance. Most are just ordinary spirits, foolish and naive, acting on instinct and not worth worrying about. Only a few have the intention to steal the medicine, but they were deterred by me and didn’t dare to come close," he said.

"That’s good," Zhao Ge nodded, adding, "I just didn’t expect that there would be so many evil spirits around us on ordinary days. Luckily, there is a divine ghost purge every month; otherwise, the world would really be in chaos. No wonder, since ancient times, dynasties and families have shared the world with ghosts and divine beings."

However, Li Yi remained silent, because the recent incident of the little ghost trying to steal the medicine had alerted him.

If a little ghost still knew to steal and consume the Great Medicine Essence, what then do the thousand-year-old ghosts and spirits of legends feed on?

They surely couldn’t just exist out of thin air.
