Yinwood

Chen Miao was still deeply curious about the Blood Fiend in the Shadow Cave.

I wonder how much yin virtue I could get for dealing with a Blood Fiend?

As soon as the thought surfaced, Chen Miao snuffed it out.

Leaving aside whether he could kill this Blood Fiend, even if he did, the yin virtue he gained would fall short of what he could earn by wiping out a large group of ordinary ghosts.

Chen Miao had already confirmed this at Corpse Lake in Jiangya County.

How much yin virtue had a single Flying Jiangshi been worth?

About a pound!

Nowhere near as much as he could get from killing a hundred ordinary zombies.

So even if the Soul Cocoon was a Blood Fiend, it would be worth no more than once or twice as much as a Flying Jiangshi.

If he really had that kind of strength, he would be better off "plowing" through the Shadow Cave. That would earn him more yin virtue.

While Chen Miao's thoughts wandered, Jiang Wei brought up the yinwood produced in the Shadow Cave.

These were all types of yinwood Chen Miao had never heard of or learned about before.

And every type of yinwood in the Shadow Cave corresponded to a particular ghost!

Cocoon membrane corresponded to the Blood Fiend Soul Cocoon, while nether-eye sand corresponded to a ghost called the Eyeless Puppet Spirit.

There were also special types of yinwood such as resentment-settling water, cold bone powder, weeping rock paste, and earth-nightmare marrow.

The grease produced by the Wall-Erosion Ghost, which they used as fuel for the oil lamp, was [weeping rock paste].

Using it as lamp oil was merely one of the most wasteful ways to use weeping rock paste.

Weeping rock paste was highly poisonous to living creatures
