Seeing Liu Shan getting ready for bed, Xiao Yu grinned slightly, formed a hand seal, and cast a simple spirit-gathering spell on her.
The spirit-gathering spell accelerated the gathering of spiritual energy, slightly increasing the speed of cultivation.
But this was the Dharma-Ending Age. What spiritual energy could there possibly be in a big city? Thus, the spell's function became "attracting ghosts." After all, monsters, demons, and ghosts invisible to the naked eye were, in essence, also a form of spiritual energy.

If she found out that Xiao Yu had secretly turned her into bait to lure a Vengeful Ghost, she would probably be so furious that she would have to bite him a few times before she was satisfied.
Xiao Yu placed the jade pendants he had prepared beforehand in various corners of the suite.
Protective Jade offered protection, as well as some ability to repel evil.
As long as the Vengeful Ghost dared to appear after being drawn to Liu Shan, Xiao Yu could leave it nowhere to escape.

"I hope you're not too patient. I don't want to spend the night in Yanjing today. I've already bought my plane ticket back to Magic City."
