A Rich Haul

For a moment, Yin Yunze felt a chill of fear mixed with a mix of emotions. What a fine dead rat that Grandfather Huang Three was!

Not only was this Upper Creek Village Land God Divinity prepared for Yin Yunze, saving Yin Yunze from months of arduous work in cultivating believers and solidifying the divine title.

They even used all the accumulated Power of Incense Offerings from the past century to help Yin Yunze erase the Divine Sense imprint of the master on the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag.

Finally, he even used his own body as a shield to block the final killing blow for Yin Yunze.

Most importantly, it left without a trace, dying and turning into a pile of ashes!

That yellow-skinned dead rat, he really is! Yin Yunze cried his eyes out!

The thought of Grandfather Huang Three's final destruction, turning into a pile of ashes, filled Yin Yunze with grief, and he could barely suppress the tears welling up in his eyes.

Of course, jokes aside, this is the composure that allowed Yin Yunze to emerge as the final victor.

However, the thought of the yellow-skinned dead rat turning into a pile of ashes served as a reminder to Yin Yunze.

The ashes on this ground may seem ordinary, but they were actually made from the very essence of the Land God, who had been refined through repeated rituals involving heavenly lightning.

Thinking about it carefully, this must be a good thing!

With that thought in mind, Yin Yunze disregarded the fact that these were corpse ashes and quickly reached out to pick up a pinch.

Sure enough, Yin Yunze sensed the incredibly strong power to dispel evil.

It was also because Yin Yunze, being Orthodox God, was untainted that he did not attract the power to exorcise evil.

Otherwise, the small amount of poison in Yin Yunze's hand would probably be far more effective against evil Expel Evil and Dispel Filth.

Even setting aside the idea of refining it, simply taking a handful and making it into a pendant to wear would likely be better at dispelling evil than the combined effects of the Peace Character Talisman and Expel Character Talisman, aside from being slightly weaker in defense.

Even if Yin Yunze didn't use it against his enemies, it would be excellent to make it into a prop and give it away!

Upon discovering this, Yin Yunze quickly used the Earth Vein Power to collect all of Grandfather Huang Three's ashes.

Fortunately, Yin Yunze did not demolish the four high walls; otherwise, if a gust of wind had come, Yin Yunze would have had to spend a lot more time collecting them.

Using the Earth Vein Power, Yin Yunze transformed a stone into a large box, collected the hundreds of kilograms of corpse powder, and then sent it to the real world.

After collecting the body of the yellow-skinned dead rat, Yin Yunze's attention returned to the now ownerless Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag.

It has to be said that Yin Yunze needs to thank Huangpi Sihaozi once again.

As a long-established Land God, Grandfather Huang Three has accumulated a wealth of knowledge. Among the information he left behind is a method of weapon crafting. Moreover, after decades of improvement by Grandfather Huang Three, he has modified it into Incense Offering Artifact Refining Method offerings, which is more suitable for the constitution of Incense God.

What a fine yellow-skinned dead rat! It was afraid that Yin Yunze wouldn't be used to ordinary weapon-refining methods, so it specially left this method for Yin Yunze.

Following this Incense Offering Artifact Refining Method, Yin Yunze ignited the Power of Incense Offerings according to the method, and then began to continuously refine the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag with the Flame of Incense.

Although Yin Yunze was somewhat inexperienced at using it for the first time, without the interference of a master's Divine Sense, Yin Yunze only spent a few minutes refining the unclaimed Law Treasure, completely transforming the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag into his own Law Treasure.

As the refining process was completed, Yin Yunze also learned how to use the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag.

With a thought, the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag flew to Yin Yunze's front on its own.

As Yin Yunze drew upon the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of Upper Creek Village and poured it into the flag, the surface of the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag began to crackle with eerie blue arcs of electricity.

The method of using the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag is actually very simple: after infusing it with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi or the Power of Incense Offerings, it can be made to generate lightning.

The weakest of them all was the pale blue Purifying Lightning, followed by the deep purple Gang Lightning.

His ultimate move was to summon black clouds, which would then descend from the sky like the Dark Heavenly Lightning that had killed Grandfather Huang Three.

Of course, if you want to be more elegant, you can also call it "Evil-Cleansing Blue Lightning", "Evil-Breaking Purple Lightning", or "Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning".

The name of the Black Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning is derived from the name of the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag.

It was from the information on the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag that Yin Yunze learned that thunder also had different attributes.

The "black" in the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag refers not only to its color but also to the water element in the Five Elements theory.

Black is the color that represents water in the Five Elements theory.

Therefore, the meaning of "Dark Heavenly Lightning" is actually lightning of the water attribute.

Heavenly lightning is inherently effective against evil spells, and this water-attribute Mystic Lightning is even more effective against fire-attribute spells, or powers like drought.

Evil spirits like the Drought Demon, which represent drought, are doubly restrained by this Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning.

No wonder, after the Prince Jing finally emerged from the earth, it slunk back to Tomb of Prince Jing in the end.

Restraint is paramount; special attacks are the work of gods!

Faced with the water-attribute Heavenly Thunder of Evil-Slaying, Prince Jing really had no temper.

Unfortunately, the Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning must be drawn down from the sky, so once inside the Tomb of Prince Jing, the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag lost its effect.

While the Evil-Cleansing Blue Lightning and the Evil-Breaking Purple Lightning are both water-attribute lightning, they are still somewhat insufficient against monsters of the level of the Old Corpse of Prince Jing.

Perhaps this is why the last set of Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag was left outside.

If it were brought into the Tomb of Prince Jing, it would not only be useless, but if it were destroyed by the Drought Demon or lost inside, then everything would truly be over.

If it is left outside and picked up by others, even if the master dies, he will still have the means to restrain the Drought Demon, so that it will not cause endless trouble.

However, even as he thought about it, Yin Yunze still felt that something was off.

But after thinking about it, he realized there was nothing wrong with it. After secretly noting it down, Yin Yunze decided to put it aside for the time being.

Playing with the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag that finally belonged to him, to be honest, if it weren't inappropriate now, Yin Yunze would really like to try all three types of thunder.

Unfortunately, Yin Yunze estimated that even if he consumed all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of Upper Creek Village, he could only unleash two or three strikes of the Evil-Breaking Purple Lightning at most.

The thought of such a huge expenditure, and the hundreds of characters he had used in this battle, made him realize how much effort he had put into it.

Yin Yunze felt that although they were now wealthier, they shouldn't be too wasteful.

Holding the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag in his hand, Yin Yunze hesitated for a long time before reluctantly sending it into the real world.

Finally, Yin Yunze's gaze fell on the dragon-headed cane of the yellow-skinned dead rat.

Although this dragon-headed staff is far inferior to the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag and the Divine Essence, its ability to remain undamaged under the Evil-Slaying Mystic Lightning proves its extraordinary nature from another perspective.

In fact, according to the memories left by the yellow-skinned dead rat, this dragon-head cane was no ordinary thing.

Or, according to the yellow-skinned dead rat's name, the official name of this walking stick should be the Soul-Shaking Staff.

This Soul-Shaking Staff was a magical Law Artifact that Grandfather Huang Three obtained by fortuitous opportunity from a whole piece of Dark Yin Soul-Startling Wood. He then spent more than twenty years refining it with his own innate abilities.

The Dark Yin Soul-Startling Wood itself has a frightening effect, and after being refined by Grandfather Huang Three, it incorporates his own innate abilities.

It may seem unremarkable and ordinary, but in reality, just one blow from it will leave you with a shock that directly shakes your soul and various Curse.

Previously, the reason why Yin Yunze consumed two Peace Character Talisman immediately after taking a hit was because, Yin Yunze, he blocked a soul-shaking attack and a Curse rendered him completely powerless.

It's safe to say that if even one of those effects hadn't been blocked, Yin Yunze would probably have fallen to the ground in no time.

It was precisely because Yin Yunze was unharmed after taking those two additional attribute attacks, and because Grandfather Huang Three was in poor condition, that he leisurely chatted with the protagonist for a while before moving Grandfather Three Temple directly to the village entrance.

Otherwise, if Grandfather Huang Three were in better condition, he could have used the Chaotic Cloak Staff Technique. He wouldn't have needed to use the Earth Vein Power on a large scale; he could have taken down most of his opponents with the unpredictable speed of earth Earth Escape.

After all, not everyone can have hundreds of Peace Character Talisman on their body like Yin Yunze.

Each strike of the Soul-Shaking Staff carries an additional attack that requires two Peace Character Talisman to block.

It's fair to say that if Yin Yunze had only carried a few less of the Peace Character Talisman, perhaps just ten or so, his defenses would have been completely stripped away after seven or eight blows.

It has to be said that Yin Yunze realized he had underestimated that old bastard, the yellow-skinned dead rat.

Yin Yunze thought the difference between him and the yellow-skinned dead rat was only the Earth Vein Power, but in reality, even without the Earth Vein Power, the two were truly locked in a real battle.

Not to mention the yellow-skinned dead rat's size, which is about the size of a small truck, just those hundreds of ghosts, plus this Soul-Shaking Staff.

The thousands of characters and explosives that Yin Yunze brought only brought him closer to the yellow-skinned dead rat in human form.

The accumulated knowledge of the Yellow-skinned Dead Rat over hundreds of years is not something that a clueless newbie like Yin Yunze can easily fabricate.

Of course, this accumulated wealth now belongs to Yin Yunze!
