In addition to earning some Virtue Points, Lin Yi also planned to gather some information to see if the incidence of Evil Spirits in Cang Mountain City was overly severe.
The reason he wanted to take on this task was not only for the Merit Points, but also to eradicate Evil Spirits to gain more Virtue Points.
If the level of Evil Spirits in Cang Mountain City was within controllable limits, with only one or two of them displaying a low concentration of dark energy, it could indeed be a good place for him to farm Virtue Points given his current strength.
The terrifying thing about Evil Spirits is their stealth and silent attacks; if faced head-on, it's unlikely that Exorcist Cultivators wielding an Exorcism Charm can stand a chance.
However, his title "Little Compassion Little Mercy" could indeed negate the greatest advantage of the Evil Spirits. His Ghost Perception had now increased by 30%, as had the effectiveness of the Rebirth Charm.
