Bai Ziyue had a talent for culinary skills.

In his previous life, his parents had run a small restaurant for over a decade. Over time, through watching and listening, combined with his passion for experimentation, his culinary skills gradually surpassed his father’s, who was the head chef. As a result, whenever he returned home during holidays, he would end up taking over the kitchen, and the family’s business saw a noticeable improvement.

Before, he had no choice. Now, with some free time at his disposal, he naturally chose to show off his skills and satisfy his cravings.

As he made his way to the kitchen, Bai Ziyue stopped by the table, ignoring the little dog’s startled, limping dash away in fear. He opened the cloth bag and cut off a small piece of Snake Demon Flesh.

The Snake Demon Flesh was tough and thick, about the size of a palm, but it weighed over two pounds.

He had no intention of cooking the snake meat for himself. Instead, he planned to use the little dog for an experiment.

He wanted to see if an ordinary dog, after consuming the flesh of a Demon Beast, would undergo any special changes.

Half an hour later, a bowl of stewed, tender Snake Demon Flesh was placed in front of the little dog.

The dog eyed it warily, a look of disdain on its face, but its gaze kept flicking towards the meat.

The aroma of the meat was too enticing; the dog was tempted, but still stared at Bai Ziyue, hoping he would leave.

Through contact, Bai Ziyue had figured out some of its traits and didn’t get angry. He simply turned around.

As he reached the doorway, he glanced back just in time to see the little dog quickly take two steps towards the bowl. Seeing Bai Ziyue watching, it hurriedly limped back, so hastily that it even tripped and rolled over on the ground.

Amused, Bai Ziyue finally walked out.

...

The night fell unconsciously.

At this time, Bai Ziyue walked out from his residence.

Along the way, passersby became scarce, with only a few shops still open.

The dim lanterns cast a drowsy light on the ground.

Clad in vigorous attire, holding a scabbard, Bai Ziyue gradually moved westward.

Pedestrians grew even more sparse, and the road ahead seemed deserted. The surrounding houses became sparse and distant.

This was the most desolate part of Qinghe Town, a place even the watchmen avoided if they could.

This place was a graveyard, filled with countless bones.

Housing a graveyard within the town was inappropriate, but some people, seeking convenience, buried bodies wherever they found wasteland.

As the number of graves grew, it naturally turned into a graveyard.

Sometimes, even the government, seeking convenience, would dump the bodies of unidentified merchants, criminals, beggars, and even townsfolk here. Covering the body with a straw mat was an act of mercy.

Thus, in addition to the inherent desolation and chill of the graveyard, the stench of decay lingered.

In daylight, with some warmth from the sun, people felt braver.

But come nightfall, even the boldest drunkards or martial artists rarely dared to enter.

Bai Ziyue’s intent was to use the Soul-Attracting Incense to summon ghosts and increase his Soul Energy.

After careful thought, this place in Qinghe Town seemed most suitable.

However, he did not act rashly. As he walked around, he measured the land and memorized the environment and routes.

He was unsure of the Soul-Attracting Incense’s efficacy.

He also had no idea of the strength of the ghosts it might attract.

Reality wasn’t a game; no matter how confident he was in his abilities, he couldn’t guarantee that the summoned ghosts would be weaker than him.

The roles of hunter and prey could easily reverse.

Bai Ziyue was well aware of this.

In a world teeming with demons and ghosts, one couldn’t be too cautious.

He had to find suitable escape routes to quickly flee if faced with a Fierce Ghost he couldn’t handle.

An hour later, Bai Ziyue’s silhouette appeared on a clearing.

This place was still some distance from the real graveyard.

For his first attempt, he certainly didn’t want to go too deep.

One misstep, and he could find himself surrounded by ghosts, which would be terrible.

Drawing a deep breath, Bai Ziyue took out a stick of Soul-Attracting Incense from his pocket and carefully inserted it into the ground.

Then, with a flick of his fingers, a small flame appeared.

A gentle move set the flame onto the Soul-Attracting Incense, igniting it.

Instantly, a wisp of pale green smoke wafted out, gradually spreading.

Seeing the incense burning, Bai Ziyue didn’t hesitate. He quickly visualized complex runes in his mind. When the ninth rune was formulated, the Spiritual Power in his body surged like a torrent, flowing into the runes.

Buzz!

A faint tremor, and a special light flashed in Bai Ziyue’s eyes.

In an instant, the entire world appeared different to him.

The originally dark and pitch-black ground appeared like broad daylight in his eyes.

Even if it was several hundred meters away, he could easily see it, as if it were right in front of him.

In the sky, various strange qi intertwined, appearing like a bizarre painting in his eyes, twisting and dynamic, constantly changing.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Bai Ziyue stood quietly near the Soul-Attracting Incense, waiting.

As the time came to the twentieth breath, Bai Ziyue’s heart tightened.

"It’s coming!"

The night wind made the place desolate and cold.

Gradually, from afar, a ghost soul with a confused face and a somewhat flickering soul body appeared, drifting over in a daze.

Then soon, Bai Ziyue noticed that besides this soul body, there were some ghost souls emerging directly from beneath the ground, drifting confusedly toward the direction of the Soul-Attracting Incense.

"Stray ghosts, and not just from one direction."

Bai Ziyue felt an eerie coldness from behind as well. Turning his head, he saw three or four soul bodies emerging from the graves on his way here, wobbling toward him.

"This Soul-Attracting Incense is indeed effective; just with a glance, more than a dozen ghost souls have been attracted."

Bai Ziyue felt a faint thrill in his heart.

More than a dozen ghost souls, even if they were just stray ghosts with weak soul bodies, could still bring him some soul energy.

He was not picky.

Moreover, this was just shortly after lighting the Soul-Attracting Incense.

He believed that with the passage of time, more ghost souls would surely be attracted.

Very soon, the first soul body approached, and Bai Ziyue, undeterred, let his qi and blood surge, slashing with a flicker of his blade.

Like a bubble, the ghost soul instantly shattered, dissipated, and turned to ashes.

"Soul Energy +9."

Bai Ziyue continued in the same manner, swiftly exterminating the other ghost souls that approached.

These were the most low-level souls; even in terms of the solidity of their soul bodies, they were even weaker than the little ghost Bai Ziyue encountered in Cloud Leaf Village, naturally posing no threat to him.

Gradually, more ghost souls approached, and Bai Ziyue saw that there were dozens.

Even if the soul energy produced by a single soul body was very little, the most being only a dozen points, and the least only seven or eight points, the quantity added up to a significant amount.

In a short time, he felt his soul energy points increase by more than a hundred.

This was much more than the twenty or thirty points he obtained each morning by slaughtering livestock, and far more direct and efficient.

Even if this brought some danger...

Perceiving a sudden fast attack from a ghostly creature, Bai Ziyue turned his body, performing the Cloud Soaring Step, slashing with his blade, and crushing with the thick qi blood power.

Poof!

The attacking ghostly creature was instantly cut in half and directly dissolved into ashes under the qi and blood pour.

"Soul Energy +56."

"Indeed, gradually more powerful ghostly creatures are being attracted."

Thinking this, Bai Ziyue felt a thrill.

Even though stray ghosts increased his soul energy, the speed was too slow.

A ghost creature like this, equivalent to five or six stray ghosts, was much more satisfying.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Suddenly, muffled sounds came from the cemetery, and he saw five or six figures moving slowly towards him in peculiar positions.

"Walking corpses? And, these walking corpses resemble the bandits from the Ghost Head Stronghold who died today."

Observing these twisted figures being attracted, Bai Ziyue quickly recognized them.

He had seen their faces and bodies clearly at the city gate; it was indeed them.

He hadn’t expected them to transform into walking corpses so quickly.

Generally, regular corpses either decay or become dried from the sun.

Only by being in a Land of Yin Attribute can a corpse be eroded, using its residual soul, to transform into walking corpses.

And over time, if the walking corpses continue absorbing Yin Qi, they might evolve into zombies...

Bai Ziyue was not surprised by the government officials throwing the bandits’ corpses into the cemetery, but the speed of their transformation into walking corpses genuinely shocked him.

Even in a Yin Land, it should not be possible to transform a corpse into a walking corpse in just one night, or less than a night.

Thinking thus, Bai Ziyue did not hesitate, swiftly rushing forward, waving his long knife and letting the continuous blade light sweep across the area.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Numerous slashing sounds into flesh echoed; even if these Ghost Head Stronghold bandits were not weak in life, with one or two having reached the Inner Cultivation Realm, their skin resilient and leather-like tough, able to withstand his blade.

But as walking corpses, they retained only their instincts, naturally far from being Bai Ziyue’s match.

Soon, all the walking corpses were slaughtered cleanly by him.
