Chapter 36: Expelling the Evil Spirit

It was indeed a ghost, Xiao Jie felt a little uneasy.

This kind of invisible enemy makes people feel most uneasy, but Ye Luo seems to be quite knowledgeable. Since she said that there is nothing wrong during the day, Xiao Jie believed her.

"Since you can see it? Why don't you kill the ghost--"

Xiao Jie knew he was talking nonsense before he finished speaking. Physical attacks are ineffective against ghosts, so it is useless even if they are seen.

"What's the level of this ghost? How much health does it have?"

"You want to kill it? Physical attacks are ineffective against ghosts, unless you can find a master who knows spells, or has a magical weapon that can restrain ghosts."

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this. Can you tell me?"

"Level 7, 135 HP, named Ghost Servant."

It's only level 7, with 135 HP, so it doesn't seem that strong. The main problem is that it's invisible, immune to physical attacks, and can possess people.

Ghost servant? So there is someone behind this ghost.

"It hid itself, probably because it was scared by you, but it will probably appear again at night.

Xiao Jie thought it didn't matter, daytime was enough, he would learn archery and dog training skills first.

At this time, Yang Baichuan came in holding a bowl of meat soup. Yang Baichuan's wife immediately started eating and drinking it with big mouthfuls, looking like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Seeing his wife enjoying the meal, Yang Baichuan was also very happy.

"Good brother, thanks to you this time, I really don't know how to thank you."

"Okay, okay. I just ask Master to teach me how to be a hunter."

"Haha, no problem. I'll take care of my wife today, and you can come and learn tomorrow."

"Oh, wait until tomorrow? Can't it be today?"

"Little brother, you'd better not force me. My wife is fine, how can I abandon her? You can come tomorrow. It doesn't matter what day you come, right?"

Xiao Jie thought, isn't this just one day away?

When he glanced over, he found that Yang Baichuan was staring at him sharply, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Damn, this old guy is pretending to be stupid. It’s obvious that he doesn’t trust me. He wants to wait a day to see the effect.

I didn't expect this NPC to be so calculating.

"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Xiao Jie left the wooden house and Ye Luo followed him out.

"It's useless. Unless you can kill that ghost, his wife will be possessed tonight. If you want to become his disciple tomorrow, he still won't accept you.

But there are other ways. If you are willing to pay, I can help you pick a hundred-year-old ginseng. This herb-picking task is probably a threshold set by the designer for players. After all, a powerful profession like hunter must not be easily obtained by players. "

Xiao Jie thought to himself, why should I bother with this when I have money?

He glanced at Ye Luo and had an idea in his mind. If he wanted to kill the evil spirit, he might have to rely on this girl.

However, he still had some hope in his heart that if nothing happened that night, he could successfully become a disciple tomorrow.

"By the way, why haven't I seen you in the village before?"

"I have been collecting herbs outside the village these past two days, so you naturally can't see it. This hundred-year-old ginseng is not easy to find."

Xiao Jie was surprised. Is it that powerful? It is very dangerous to log off in the wild in this game, because the monsters are refreshed and active in dynamic areas. If you are unlucky and the place where you log on happens to be spawned by monsters, then it is equivalent to being born in a pile of monsters, and you will not know how you died.

"You're spending the night alone in the wild? Aren't you afraid of being blocked by monsters?"

"Haha, don't be surprised. Although the wild in this game is very dangerous, there are some safe spots. As long as you understand the monster's spawning area and activity pattern, you can find such a relatively safe place. Of course, there are still risks. I have no choice but to take a gamble in order to collect herbs. Fortunately, it seems that my luck is not bad."

Xiao Jie thought to himself that this guy must be an expert as well. "Are you playing alone?"

"Now I'm alone."

The woman's tone was a little gloomy, but Xiao Jie understood immediately. Perhaps her former teammate was dead.

"Is Hunter fun?" "Of course. With pets to fight with and long-range damage output, it should be the most suitable profession for lone wolf players."

"Will there be a chance for us to team up together in the future?"

"Let's talk about it later." Ye Luo did not agree easily.

"Then why not add me as a friend? There are only a few of us players in this village, so we should all look out for each other."

This time Ye Luo did not refuse, and the two added each other as friends.

"See you later, then."

Ye Luo said as he whistled, "Black Claw is gone."

The dog named Black Claw followed happily.

The next day, when Xiao Jie arrived at the hunter's house, the hunter was indeed looking worried again.

"That's it, little brother. My wife suddenly went crazy again in the middle of the night yesterday. I trapped her in the bed, but there was no other way. How did you cure her?"

Xiao Jie sighed in his heart, what he feared was really what would come true, but fortunately, he was prepared.

"Master Yang, you can't blame me for this. Your wife is not ill, but possessed by an evil spirit. If the possessed ghost is not killed, your old illness will not be cured. I used a magic weapon to drive away the evil spirit yesterday, but who knew that it would linger and haunt your wife. There must be some grudge between them. Think about it, have you offended anyone?"

Yang Baichuan shook his head vigorously, "Impossible, I don't interact much with the people in the village, how could I offend anyone? But since it's a ghost, it seems that I can only ask a magician for help.

I still have to take care of my wife, so could you please do me a favor and ask the provincial capital to invite a wizard over?
I also heard that there is a Baiyun Temple on the Bixia Mountain in the north of the valley. The Taoist priests in the temple have quite some magical powers, so it would be great if we could invite one over.

As long as you can invite a magician or a Taoist priest to come here, I will definitely teach them all my skills after the matter is completed."

[System prompt: The task [Expel Evil Spirits] has been triggered. Hunter Yang Baichuan asks you to help find a master to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits. In return, he is willing to accept you as his apprentice.

A dialog box popped up in front of me.

Option 1: Don't worry, Master Yang, I will definitely invite an expert to help you. (Accept the task).

Option 2: Why bother with all that? Just leave it to me. It’s just a mere evil spirit. I will kill it (mission upgrade).

Option 3: This matter has nothing to do with me. I recovered from my illness yesterday. Master Yang has promised to teach me how to be a hunter. Why not fulfill his promise first and talk about other things later? (Try to persuade him). 】

Can you actually persuade directly?
Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment, but did not choose 3. First of all, it would be too unclassy to do so.

Secondly, it seems that the hunter apprentice is only learning entry-level techniques, and there will be more advanced techniques later. If you choose 3, you may not be able to learn the subsequent skills.

Even if I can learn it, I can't go picking ginseng every day to learn skills.

Picking herbs requires increased perception, and attribute points cannot be added randomly.

However, it is not easy to ask for help from a magician or a Taoist priest. There are monsters everywhere in the wild in this game. It is probably not easy for a level 2 character to get to the destination alive.

Might as well try it yourself.

Xiao Jie decisively chose 2.
"Why bother with all that? Just leave it to me. It's just a mere evil spirit. I'll kill it."

"Really? That's great, I'm completely relying on you, little brother." Yang Baichuan was overjoyed. Before, he naturally wouldn't believe what Xiao Jie said, but after seeing the scene of exorcism yesterday, he had to believe it.

"Boy, if you can cure my wife's illness, I will not only teach you how to be a hunter, but also give you another treasure from my collection."

System prompt: You have accepted the task [Expel the Evil Spirit] and eliminated the ghost servant possessed by Yang Baichuan’s wife.

Mission rewards: Hunter Apprentice Mission, Hunter Treasure × 1.

Not bad, you can change your job and get hidden rewards, this deal is worth doing.

"Don't worry, Master Yang. I am 60 to 70 percent confident in this matter. However, if I want to exorcise the ghost, I need to prepare a few things first. So I'll take my leave now."

Xiao Jie left the wooden house and sent a private message to Ye Luo and I Yu Chengxian respectively.

"Come to the hunter's cabin, there's good news."

If you want to exorcise a ghost, you can't do it by yourself. You can drive the ghost out of the hunter's wife, but if you want to kill it, you need help.

I Want to Become an Immortal has the ebony sword, Ye Luo can see the location of ghosts, and with his own evil-repelling technique to drive the ghosts out of the body, the three of them working together can just deal with it.
