Back in reality, Chen Miao checked last night's gains.
He had destroyed two ghosts last night: the one the Demon-Suppressing Bureau had used as bait, and the one attached to Xu Qingchuan.
Besides those two ghosts, there had also been a Corpse Retriever.
Chen Miao accepted half the responsibility for the Corpse Retriever's death. The other half belonged to Xu Qingchuan.
He had to admit, an ordinary yin cultivator's soul body really was rather fragile against Xu Qingchuan's manifested ghost form.
Last night's haul of yin virtue wasn't much, totaling just two taels.
Perhaps because he had dealt with the ghost attached to Xu Qingchuan rather than Xu Qingchuan himself, the reward in yin virtue hadn't been very generous.
Chen Miao even suspected that the Corpse Retriever had yielded about as much yin virtue as Xu Qingchuan's ghost.
Besides the yin virtue, there were three Memory Fragments, two obsession fragments, and a few materials.
Finally, he had also obtained a Corpse Retriever's legacy.
Chen Miao compared the Water-Suppressing Mystic Scripture with this Corpse Retriever's legacy. The two were largely alike, differing in certain mystic arts but serving much the same functions. Combining them would at least expand his corpse-retrieval methods.
It was still early, so Chen Miao decided to examine the Memory Fragment from the ghost attached to Xu Qingchuan.
As for the other Memory Fragments, it wasn't that Chen Miao didn't want to look through them. There were simply too many.
Including the Memory Fragments from the Bathhouse, Chen Miao now had more than fifty!
Even if he wanted to read them all, it wasn't something he could finish in a day or two.
In the past, seeing so many Memory Fragments would only have made Chen Miao happy.
Now, they only gave him a headache.
