Preparations

"Snort!"

Sulu snorted coldly and released his Spirit Pressure.

The test tubes and boxes that had sprouted tiny feet and tentacles immediately retracted as if startled.

"Before crafting Curio, first examine the materials..."

He picked up a branch with many eye-shaped scars and began to examine it carefully.

This is the caution an alchemist should possess.

"Um?"

Sulu picked up the Spirit Ink, frowning. "The materials are fine, but this container..."

The Attribute Panel has evolved and now has the ability to identify items.

During the transaction, Sulu discovered that the Spirit Ink was genuine, but the glass bottle was an alchemical item!

[Arcane Seal Bottle]

[Item Description: This is a common alchemical item that can store high-level Spirit World materials and prevent their spiritual energy from dissipating. There's also a small surprise at its bottom.]

[Rank: 1]

He took out the Spirit Ink, turned the glass bottle upside down, and Inspiration began to flow.

At the bottom of the bottle, on what was originally a smooth glass surface, spiritual patterns emerged, forming a small, wriggling snake that hissed.

"Arcane Seal?"

Sulu's face darkened, and he pointed at the small snake, revealing a string of information, including a time and location.

"To be able to pull off such a heinous act in front of so many legends, that's quite an amazing ability to hide... Ancient Serpent Society that?"

The trader who produced the Spirit Ink is very likely connected to the Ancient Serpent Society!

Their superiors may well know that the Void Stone and Spirit Ink are the main materials for the Sealing Card!

Thinking about it that way... it really is...

Sulu chuckled, his expression returning to calm.

The [Planeswalker] class itself is not evil; in fact, it is quite effective against vengeful spirits and Cursed Spirit.

Even if it's revealed that his profession comes from the Ancient Serpent Society, he's not afraid of anything since he's already passed the test at Green Tree Castle.

Even the Bureau 11, after seizing the [Doom-Bringer] from the Black Death Society, used it on their own people, didn't they?

"Perhaps... we can find clues about sixth-tier professions from this."

Sulu exerted force with his right hand, causing the glass bottle to turn into glistening powder that flowed down between his fingers.

"We still need to focus on crafting the sealing cards!"

Several days later.

Inside a sealed room.

Sulu stared seriously at the three cards floating in front of him.

They have a silvery texture, are about the size of a child's palm, are blank on the front, and have a starry the Vortex on the back.

"Finally, we've reached the final step..."

Sulu let out a long sigh, "The reason why the Sealing Card are superior to the Thaumaturgy Card, and can be used by professionals below Rank 5, is because they already contain a pre-set 'spell formula' and are infused with the power of [Planeswalker]..."

Having rested well, he was Inspiration and poured his inspiration into the core of the Sealing Card, dividing it into three streams.

Swish!

His Inspiration plummeted rapidly.

20!

10!

5!

A feeling of strain immediately formed in Sulu's mind: 'This is bad... I overestimated myself...'

Looking at his dwindling Inspiration, he manipulated his mind, merging the three streams into two and injecting them completely into different cards.

Buzz!

The two cards instantly flashed with silver light and took their final form.

The third one was extremely unstable; after flickering a few times, it suddenly exploded and turned to ashes.

Sulu remained silent for a moment, then carefully put away the two cards and left the secret room.

"Owner!"

Beatrice, dressed as a maid, immediately came over and bowed.

"Hmm, what happened during my seclusion?"

"Lord Dunstan came to visit once, seemingly hoping that the master would carry out a mission," Beatrice said, bowing again.

"Hehe..."

Sulu sneered, ignoring him. "Prepare bathwater and a proper meal; I need to rest..."

After a satisfying meal, he lay down on the soft sofa, pondering his next plan.

With the Sealing Card forged, the next step is naturally to seal the Cursed Spirit and enhance combat power!

The Federation would certainly be more than happy to do so, and it would also shut Green Tree Castle up.

"Beatrice, go and inform Dunstan that I am willing to contribute to the peace and stability of the Federation, and to target the cursed Wraith in various places... I want to see the most comprehensive and complete files!"

"Yes, Master."

Beatrice bowed and withdrew.

Not long after, Dunstan paid him a personal visit.

"Sulu... you want to go and eliminate the Wraith in various places?" After exchanging pleasantries, Dunstan asked with some surprise.

Deep down, he still hoped that Sulu would directly participate in the campaign against the Ancient Serpent Society.

However, most of the world's terrible curses are actually cast by Demon, so this can be considered a related quest.

"Yes, as you know, my profession leans towards the Spirit World, and I have a special skill in dealing with this type of spirit..."

Sulu smiled and took a sip of his black tea, "Where's the information I wanted?"

"It's all here, absolutely no mistakes, every piece of information has been verified."

Dunstan solemnly handed a file folder to Sulu: "These are troublesome cases that the local supernatural forces have failed to handle. Be careful."

"Rest assured!"

Sulu took it and began to examine it carefully.

The records in the archives were indeed very detailed; guesses were simply marked at the end, showing that they had been carefully organized.

It's safe to say that if professional Spirit Exorcist used such files on their missions, the number of casualties could be reduced by at least 20-30%.

"File number A-290, codename: Abyss Psalm!"

"Original location: Boji City!"

"Description: A terrifying Infection meme; anyone who hears hymns praising the Abyss will be cursed, and extremely terrible things will happen. There are seven chapters, each representing a different sin and method of death..."

"Hypothesis 1: Experiments show that there is currently no way to prevent the death of those who hear the psalms... The best way is isolation, permanent isolation."

"Second theory: This might be a curse from a true Demon from the Abyss!"

"A curse from a true Demon?"

Sulu's expression changed.

This is not a fifth-tier [Purgatory Demon], nor is it Demon creature, or even a high-ranking or low-ranking Demon.

Rather, it is the terrifying sovereign who sits at the very top of all Demon!

So far, he has confirmed that there is only one curse truly related to Demon, and that is the cycle of time! An unsolvable curse that created a time traveler and a family.

"The Abyss Psalm?"

Sulu recalled that he had heard about this before, but hadn't paid much attention to it.

I never imagined that the truth behind this matter was so terrifying.

"Fortunately... I didn't act rashly and try to solve this problem. Hidden within the ordinary lies immense terror—that's the Demon's curse!"

"That's definitely out... I'd be a fool to go head-to-head with Demon!"

He mentally scoffed and turned to the next page.
