25: Chapter 024 Soul-Gathering Stone _1 25: Chapter 024 Soul-Gathering Stone _1 Everything that Lv Zhong knew were things from thousands of years ago. Lv Zhong wasn’t sure if this information still held up modern times, and whether solitary ghosts still existed in this world. However, in Lv Zhong’s opinion, even if ghosts exist in current society, they dare not interact too much with the living. Ghosts are a kind of elusive energy body and are of Yin nature. Live people, whether men or women, all carry a strong life mood or Yang energy. Even though there is the saying that “Yin attracts Yang” in the world, there also exists the truth of “Yin and Yang counteract each other”. If a ghost really has too much intersection with living people, it is undoubtedly committing slow suicide. Except, of course, for ghosts that are protected by magical treasures or are in cultivation! Although Lv Zhong could not be sure that there were solitary ghosts in the Affiliated Second Hospital, hospitals, places that control life and death, naturally accumulate Yin energy. The longer a hospital is opened, the denser the gathering Yin energy becomes. Naturally, a large amount of free-floating soul energy will accumulate here. These free-floating soul energies, which have no master, are the real target of Lv Zhong’s visit this time. The night was deep, under the dim street light, fog or cold air seemed to be floating around. Lv Zhong leisurely scrutinizes in the hospital’s garden, pond, rockery, and other places. Because Lv Zhong knows that, if there are real shape-shifting ghosts in the hospital or if these ghosts are conscious, they must choose to stay temporarily in the places with the densest Yin energy in order to avoid the invasion of Blazing Sun Evil Fire in the daytime. The hospital’s pond and rockery are perfect places for ghosts to rest. The hospital’s artificially small pond is not large and rather narrow. The water here is stagnant, giving a sense of lifelessness. Lv Zhong can now see in the dark, he can even see clearly that the water in the pond is extremely turbid. Walking around the artificial pond at a leisurely pace, he could sense that there was indeed a lot of Yin Qi gathering here. Around there was also a faint amount of free-floating soul energy flowing towards this area. Lv Zhong mobilizes a trace of the soul energy inside his body to bubble out, without actively controlling it, letting it flow freely with the free-floating soul energy in the air. Under Lv Zhong’s sensing, his own trace of soul energy, because it’s left without his control, is flowing along with the other free-floating energy towards an area under the bridge of the artificial pond. “Is it there?” Lv Zhong thought silently in his heart as he quietly walked to the bridge, immediately activating his [Micro Yin-Yang Eye]. In an instant, an image that naked eyes couldn’t see appeared in Lv Zhong’s eyes. A large amount of free-floating soul energy and Yin evil Qi began to drill into a small hole under the bridge. This small hole was about the size of a mouse hole, and it twisted and turned inside for three or four meters, forming a miniature passage with many twists and turns. At the end of this miniature passage, there were no ghosts, but there are three black pebbles the size of little fingers. The surrounding Yin Qi and free-floating soul energy were gathering towards these three black pebbles. “Soul-Gathering Stone!” Lv Zhong was slightly startled, there was a sudden joy in his heart. This Soul-Gathering Stone is a gem that can autonomously condense the Yin Sha’s Qi and gather the free-floating soul energy. This thing was everywhere before the Era of Gods, and for those with divine powers, it was virtually dispensable. Even some real ghost cultivators didn’t pay attention to it. However, this [Soul-Gathering Stone] has some benefits for newly born ghosts. As long as the newly born Yin Spirit lingered near it, this object can help stabilize their Three Souls and Seven Spirits, preventing them from being scattered by the touch of the outside world’s Blazing Sun Evil Fire. It can even assist the newly born Yin Spirit to cultivate unconsciously. The best effect of the [Soul-Gathering Stone] is that it helps the Yin Spirit to walk freely in the daytime! In the ancient or deified times, those immortals and great divine beings, who would bother to pay attention to the barely cultivating Yin Spirit? Naturally, they didn’t care much about the [Soul-Gathering Stone] either. But the spiritual energy on the current Earth is scarce, which is quite different from the ancient times and the deified era. This item is considered a treasure now. Most importantly, Lv Yue learned from his memory that these [Soul-Devouring Bugs] also need to feed, and their favorite food in the ancient times happened to be this [Soul-Gathering Stone]. As far as Lv Zhong knew, these three little [Soul-Gathering Stones] could allow the Mother Insect of the [Soul Devouring Bug] to advance to Level 2. Once the Mother Insect upgraded to Level 2, it was capable of advancing all 100 of the [Soul Devouring Bug] larvae it controlled to Level 1! “It seems like my luck isn’t bad!” Lv Zhong chuckled lightly, and with a thought, turned off the [Micro Yin-Yang Eye], releasing the Mother Insect of the [Soul Devouring Bug] from the Plague Pearl in the process. He could have taken the Mother Insect of the [Soul Devouring Bug] into his body, but Lv Zhong was not used to it for now. The Plague Pearl has great benefits for insects, so these days, the [Soul Devouring Bug] was placed inside the Plague Pearl’s inner space by Lv Zhong when not in action. As soon as it came out, the Mother Insect of the Soul Devouring Bug sensed something and couldn’t help but crawl happily in Lv Zhong’s palm. Then it spread its thin wings, transformed into a streak of light, and quickly drilled into a small hole under the bridge. Soon, this little creature settled near the three [Soul-Gathering Stones], merrily fluttering its wings and twittering. The Mother Insect of the [Soul Devouring Bug] continually nibbled on one of the [Soul-Gathering Stones] with its narrow mouthparts, instinctively wrapping it with thin wings, afraid that others would snatch it. Seeing its excitement, Lv Zhong quickly reminded it with his soul, “Little guy, you can have one first. Leave the other two here for now. And try to use these two [Soul-Gathering stones] to absorb the free-floating soul energy in the world during this period!” “Chirp…Chirp…” The Mother Insect of the [Soul Devouring Bug] gently chirped twice to show its agreement. Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Being of not weak intelligence, it was aware of the principle of trickle becomes a river. It also knew how to use the [Soul-Gathering Stone] to maximize its gains. Lv Zhong arranged for the Mother Insect of the [Soul Devouring Bug] to be here, unconcerned about its safety. It might have a small body with only Level 1 strength, but in modern society, there really isn’t much that can threaten its life. The Mother Insect of the [Soul Devouring Bug] is faster than the larvae, its poisonous sting is more potent, and it even has some ability to attack souls. In modern society, various supernatural creatures have long disappeared. Even if they do exist, they are scarce. They usually stay away from human living areas. And this Soul-Devouring Bug is now under the ground in a cave, and there are even less things that can threaten it. Under Lv Zhong’s calculations, he knew that setting up the Soul Devouring Bug in this small cave was definitely the best place. With the presence of the [Soul-Gathering Stone], the continuously generated free soul energy in the hospital will continuously enter the cave and be absorbed by the Mother Insect of the [Soul Devouring Bug]. Lv Zhong just needed to come here once a week to absorb the soul energy refined by the Mother Insect of the [Soul Devouring Bug] to steadily grow his strength. By this estimation, even Lv Zhong felt like he had become a parasite! Thinking of this situation, Lv Zhong laughed. Whether he becomes a parasite or not isn’t important, what’s key is that his strength can steadily improve! After arranging for the Mother Insect of the [Soul Devouring Bug], Lv Zhong planned to check the Oncology Department of this hospital before heading back to school. But just at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of coldness sweeping past him. Then, he sensed the Mother Insect of the [Soul Devouring Bug] becoming enraged…
