[Yin-Energy Vortex] meant that when Chen Miao used Yin Absorption, he could leave a mark at a chosen location.
All the yin energy within a certain radius of that mark would flow toward it, without Chen Miao having to gather or control it himself!
The emergence of [Yin-Energy Vortex] was like giving Chen Miao the ability to conjure a [Yin-Gathering Talisman] out of thin air-and a Premium Yin-Gathering Talisman at that! This Premium Yin-Gathering Talisman required no talisman paper, no cinnabar, and no drawing.
With a mere thought, it could appear anywhere within Chen Miao's range of control!
The only difference between it and a real Yin-Gathering Talisman was that [Yin-Energy Vortex] depended on Chen Miao to exist.
It therefore had to remain near him. Otherwise, its yin-gathering effect would gradually weaken until it dissipated entirely.
Chen Miao used it on the General Effigy, essentially giving it a battery that could generate its own power and help it replenish its yin energy. He had to admit, it worked remarkably well.
After returning to town, Chen Miao began a systematic sweep with the General Effigy.
As it turned out, his earlier guess had been correct.
Wandering Ghost Reverences only appeared in town as midnight approached!
The only thing that left Chen Miao somewhat dissatisfied was that there were fewer Ghost Reverences than he had imagined.
In the hour and fifteen minutes leading up to midnight, Chen Miao eliminated a total of five ghosts!
Of course, he had encountered more than five. There had been seven.
But the other two had been destroyed by the household spirits before Chen Miao could perform a Transcendence Rite on them.
This also made Chen Miao understand something.
It explained why ordinary people remained so respectful toward the Demon-Suppressing Bureau despite its laziness and inaction.
