Chapter 81

Xie Juanhan picked it up and examined it carefully. "Has all the Magic Power inside been lost?"

Telingewei peered over and said, "It should be the Archmage's spare wand; it's been too long and is rotten."

"Indeed, nothing can withstand the erosion of time."

Xie Juanhan felt a pang of regret and was about to put the wand back into his spatial storage to examine it more closely when he suddenly realized, "Does this wand still have a life force?"

Chapter 81 [VIP]

As soon Xie Juanhan spoke, the eyes of Telingewei and the Pixie all fell on the gray-brown magic wand.

The Pixie stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered.

Telingewei examined it closely. "I didn't feel anything."

Xie Juanhan held it in his hand. "There's still a little bit left; I'll use Dragon Power to nourish it."

Xie Juanhan channeled a bit of Dragon Power into the magic wand.

The life force within the wand was indeed stronger, as Telingewei noticed.

"The main material of the wand should come from some kind of special tree, but we don't have that kind of tree in our Magic Forest."

"Then let's take it back and have a look."

The Pixie were still waiting nearby, Xie Juanhan didn't do much research in this small study.

He and Telingewei waved to the Pixie led them outside.

Just as he was about to return along the original path, Xie Juanhan stopped and looked back.

Telingewei followed his gaze, assuming he wanted to move the metal. "This study can't probably be moved back; it's firmly embedded in the rock, and cutting it would be very difficult."

Xie Juanhan shook his head. "I don't want to move metal."

He continued to stand in the passageway, carefully examining the details.

After a moment, he said, "Don't you guys think this wind is a bit off? It seems unusually cold and damp?"

Before Telingewei could answer, the Pixie, with their big, round, bright eyes, chirped.

Xie Juanhan: "What do you mean by the wind blown by a vengeful spirit?"

The Pixie pointed deep into the passage. "Chirp, chirp chirp chirp."

Xie Juanhan: "Wine cellar, vengeful spirit, magician? You mean a magician dug a wine cellar there, and now it's been taken over by a vengeful spirit?"

The Pixie nodded earnestly.

This was the first time Xie Juanhan had encountered the concept of vengeful spirits since coming to this world.

He asked Telingewei, "I remember reading in the book that vengeful spirits are particularly vicious and will indiscriminately attack every creature that invades their territory?"

Before Xie Juanhan could finish speaking, the Pixie beside him nodded frantically.

Many of the Pixie clung tightly to their flying squirrels, looking terrified.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

"Chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp!"

The Pixie chattered excitedly, tattled on each other.

Xie Juanhan could understand them if they spoke slowly, but he couldn't quite read them if they spoke quickly.

Xie Juanhan turned to Telingewei and gestured for him to translate.

After listening carefully, Telingewei said, "They say that the horde of vengeful spirits comes out every night to hunt the creatures of this land."

"The vengeful spirits especially enjoy indiscriminately killing Demonic Beast, bleeding them, and eating raw flesh; they are extremely ferocious."

Most creatures living in this area hide at night.

Xie Juanhan frowned. "I knew I didn't hear a sound while sleeping on the top of the tower last night. It was eerily quiet. So that's why."

The Pixie: "Chirp chirp!"

Xie Juanhan thought for a moment and glanced at Telingewei.

Telingewei nodded slightly, indicating that he could.

Xie Juanhan then said to the Pixie, "Since we're already here, how about we clear out these vengeful spirits?"

The Pixie stared at him blankly.

Upon realizing the seriousness behind his smile, the Pixie immediately chirped, "Chirp chirp!"

Several Pixie rode over on flying squirrels, offering to lead the way. "Chirp chirp!"

It seems these Pixie really hate the vengeful spirits in the vicinity.

The Pixie love peace and are always blessing other living beings.

Wraiths are spirits that enjoy killing other living beings, and they are considered mortal enemies.

It's not surprising that they would react this way.

Xie Juanhan took Telingewei's hand. "Let's go, you lead the way, Telingewei and I will follow behind."

The Pixie: "Chirp chirp."

The magician's wine cellar was at the other end of the tunnel.

Xie Juanhan has not been in this world for long, but he has already seen many wine cellars.

Perhaps the creatures of this world don't really like drinking boiled or cooled boiled water, and raw water in the wild isn't safe enough.

They would drink all sorts of teas and low-alcohol beverages.

Some wealthier individuals even use low-alcohol beverages as drinking water.

Even after seeing so many wine cellars, Xie Juanhan had to admit that this magician truly lived up to his reputation as a wealthy Archmage.

The wine cellar in front of me is enormous.

It's as big as an underground palace.

The main entrance to the wine cellar is a pair of large, double wooden doors, each over ten meters high.

Xie Juanhan looked at the gate, wondering how many vengeful spirits were inside if he were to push it open.

The Pixie led them to the place, their expressions a little uneasy. "Chirp chirp."

Xie Juanhan snapped out of his daze, "It's alright, come to my side."

They didn't take the little vengeful spirit seriously.

The Pixie looked at Xie Juanhan's expression, then at Telingewei, and finally obediently flew to Xie Juanhan's side.

Seeing that they were ready, Telingewei pushed the door open.

As soon as the door opened, a chilling, biting draft rushed out.

The Pixie were swept away by the air and, in terror, hugged their little flying squirrels, frozen in place.

Seeing this, Xie Juanhan cast a "Silver Dragon's Blessing" on them.

Enveloped in the Blessing Magic, they finally recovered a little and began to crowd around Xie Juanhan, with several Pixie trembling and clinging to him.

Xie Juanhan reached out and touched the nearest Pixie, whispering, "It's alright."

Telingewei stood at the very front.

His action of opening the door awakened the vengeful spirit lurking in the wine cellar.

In an instant, many ghostly figures flew up from the wine rack and rushed towards them with a whooshing sound.

These vengeful spirits were indeed very fierce; once awakened, they launched an attack without saying a word.

They flew over, some of which were deflected by Telingewei and crashed into the wall, shattering the rocks, while others flew right in front of them, touching their faces and bringing with them a terrifying chill.

The Pixie couldn't take it anymore, so they hugged the flying squirrel, let out a "chirp," and squeezed into Xie Juanhan's arms.

Xie Juanhan subconsciously opened his arms.

The Pixie rushed even faster, all rushing into his arms.

In the blink of an eye, he was holding a handful of soft, warm little ones, just like he was holding a handful of plush toys.

Telingewei Xie Juanhan and spat out a stream of Dragon Flame.

The pale Dragon Flame looked ordinary, but once they touched a vengeful spirit, the spirit instantly vaporized.

Not to mention vengeful spirits, the air in the places where the Dragon Flame swept through was even dried up.

The vengeful spirits flying around became even angrier.

More vengeful spirits rushed towards them, trying to tear them apart.

Too lazy to use a second move, Telingewei simply unleashed a burst of Dragon Flame, silently burning away many more vengeful spirits.

The Elf, who had been trembling in Xie Juanhan Telingewei's arms, looked up and, for the first time, their eyes held a kind of adoration they themselves didn't realize. "Chirp?!"

After several times...

The vengeful spirits in the wine cellar have been mostly cleared out.

They too began to feel fear, desperately trying to hide in every corner, disappearing into the depths of the wine rack in the blink of an eye.

Xie Juanhan looked at the now quiet wine cellar. "Now it seems the vengeful spirits are the ones trembling with fear."

Telingewei spotted a vengeful spirit's hiding place. "I'll clean it again."

Xie Juanhan rolled up his sleeves. "Wait a minute, let me try."

Telingewei looked at him. "With ice?"

Xie Juanhan shook his head. "I don't think ice will work. The chilling aura they emit is already cold enough; ice will hardly kill them. I'll try a ritual to send them to the afterlife."

Telingewei tilted his head slightly, a gesture remarkably similar to the body language Harper and the others used when they couldn't understand.

Xie Juanhan suddenly found him incredibly cute, chuckled, nuzzled his head against his, and then stuffed the bunch of Pixie into his arms. "Look at them."

Telingewei and the Pixie, even the flying squirrels the Pixie rode, all froze.

After Xie Juanhan finished stuffing the offering, he stepped back, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Deliverance should be considered a kind of mental attack. In my hometown, this is specifically used to deal with spirits. I even learned it from my elders when I was young, and I got an A in the course."

Xie Juanhan looked at the vengeful spirit that had already hidden itself and muttered, "I wonder if our local incantations can deliver the ghosts here?"

Despite his words, Xie Juanhan didn't mince words and immediately Dragon Power, chanting an incantation.

He studied so hard back then, we can't let it all go to waste.

Xie Juanhan chanted the incantation lightly and quickly, giving it a sacred and solemn feel.

The Pixie all poked their heads out from Telingewei's arms, gazing at Xie Juanhan with fascination.

Clearly, Xie Juanhan's incantation was also effective against the local vengeful spirits.

As the Dragon Power spread, the incantation echoed throughout the wine cellar.

The vengeful spirits hidden deep within the wine rack revealed themselves, no longer filled with resentment and ferocity, but instead becoming stiff.

Their resentment gradually faded, and their aura slowly calmed.

The vengeful spirits grew increasingly transparent until they finally vanished completely from the wine cellar.
