Under Yang Haoran's control, not a single wisp of the Pure Yin Qi released by the Soul Pill was wasted; every bit of it flowed into the four individuals' Spirit Bodies.
However, Yang Haoran was not satisfied with the speed at which the Soul Pill was releasing Pure Yin Qi, so he increased the force of its activation.
Under his full activation, the Soul Pill inside the box vibrated violently, and the speed of Yin Qi release instantly more than doubled. Consequently, the four streams of Pure Yin Qi flowing into the four individuals' Spirit Bodies also thickened considerably.
As a large amount of Pure Yin Qi was injected into their Spirit Bodies, the Yin Qi emanating from the four individuals gradually began to strengthen. Meanwhile, the Soul Pill, continuously losing its abundant Pure Yin Qi, gradually diminished, though its shrinking was so slow as to be almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
Who knew how long had passed, but after the Soul Pill within the box released its final wisp of Pure Yin Qi, it vanished, completely dissolving into nothingness. This signified that one Soul Pill had been entirely consumed.
The four individuals' power had greatly increased, yet they had not broken through to the Evil Spirit realm. They were still some distance from achieving a successful breakthrough. Although Yang Haoran had anticipated this outcome, he still felt a degree of helplessness when the scene truly unfolded before his eyes.
Faced with this situation, Yang Haoran had no choice but to grit his teeth and take out another Soul Pill, continuing to provide the four individuals with a continuous supply of Pure Yin Qi.
Fully activating the Soul Pill consumed a significant amount of Yang Haoran's energy. However, if he hadn't done so, the four individuals would have been utterly incapable of absorbing the Soul Pill completely in such a short time. Even with his full assistance, it still took an entire day.
But the four individuals had been entirely immersed in the exhilaration brought by the Pure Yin Qi, and thus had not perceived the passage of time at all. To them, it felt as if only a brief moment had passed before it all ended.
Seeing the four individuals' still-wanting expressions, Yang Haoran's heart bled. To successfully advance them to the Evil Spirit realm, it had cost him a full one and a half Soul Pills. His annual fixed income amounted to only three Soul Pills; in just one short day, the four had consumed half a year's worth of his wages.
Yang Haoran supported many Night Watchers under him, and even with all of them combined, their annual salaries plus year-end bonuses would struggle to exhaust one Soul Pill. This was under the assumption that Yang Haoran was generous; if he were a little more stingy, one Soul Pill could sustain these Night Watchers for at least two to three years.
From this, it was clear just how much Pure Yin Qi the four had absorbed in that single day.
This was based on the fact that the four were already significantly stronger than ordinary Spirits. If they had been just common Spirits, the amount of Pure Yin Qi required to elevate them to the Evil Spirit realm would have been even greater.
Although his heart ached considerably, Yang Haoran did not let his internal pain show on his face. He still wore that faint smile, as if he hadn't put this trifle to heart at all.
"Now that all four of you have successfully broken through to the Evil Spirit realm, I can feel much more at ease sending you out on missions. However, the Yin Qi on your bodies is too heavy, making it easy to expose yourselves during missions. So, I have one last grand gift for you."
Upon hearing that Yang Haoran had yet another grand gift for them, the four were both surprised and delighted.
"Since you do not possess physical bodies, the methods we use to seal our own power fluctuations are not very practical for you. Although I can seal the Yin Qi on your bodies, this seal is only temporary. Furthermore, once you exert your power, the seal will automatically dissipate. And if I am not by your side, you will have no way to re-seal the Yin Qi on your bodies. At that point, you will constantly emanate strong Yin Qi, making it easy for others to target you. Therefore, if you wish to perform your missions better, the Yin Qi on your bodies must be resolved."
After a slight pause, Yang Haoran continued speaking.
"To resolve this issue of Yin Qi on your bodies, I specifically made a trip to the Underworld early yesterday morning. There, I obtained a secret art from a friend. Although this secret art is typically cultivated by Ghost Officials, there isn't much fundamental difference between ghosts and Ghost Officials, so you can also cultivate this secret art."
"Once you master this secret art, you will be able to completely seal the Yin Qi on your bodies for a short period. As long as you don't exert your power, others will not sense the presence of Yin Qi on you. The secret art's duration is quite short, but fortunately, it can be cast repeatedly with no limits, so in my view, this secret art is precisely what you need right now."
Yang Haoran's words were not a lie; he had indeed made a trip to the Underworld early yesterday morning, his purpose being to find a way to resolve the Yin Qi issue on the four individuals.
As for whom he sought, it was naturally Master Jiang Dashi, who was a Ghost Official. In this regard, Master Jiang Dashi was far more professional than him.
The facts proved that seeking Master Jiang Dashi was the correct choice, for ever since Master Jiang Dashi became a Ghost Official in the Underworld, he was indeed more specialized in this area than Yang Haoran, an Underworld Official of the mortal realm.
Perhaps few ghosts in the mortal realm knew the secret art he obtained, but quite a number of Ghost Officials in the Underworld understood it. Thus, within the Ghost Official community, this secret art was hardly a secret.
Although Yang Haoran was not a Ghost Official, he was an Underworld Official of the mortal realm, belonging to the same Underworld Office. Furthermore, given Yang Haoran's relationship with Master Jiang Dashi, he obtained this secret art with great ease.
With this secret art that allowed spirits to seal their own Yin Qi, Yang Haoran naturally felt much more at ease.
"I will now impart this secret art to the four of you. You must remember every detail clearly. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me immediately."
Over the next period, Yang Haoran imparted this secret art to the four individuals.
This secret art was not difficult to cultivate; though called a secret art, it was essentially a method for sealing one's own Yin Qi. The four individuals only took a mere two days to completely master it.
Before the four departed, Yang Haoran gave them his final instructions.
"From today onwards, the four of you will report directly to me. No one else has the authority to issue commands to you. You only need to report everything to me. Regarding all mission-related matters, you must maintain complete confidentiality, revealing nothing to anyone other than me. Furthermore, you are not to leak a single detail about me. Do you understand what I mean?"
The four responded in unison, "Understood!"
"Very good. Before you leave, I have one more thing to give you."
As his voice fell, Yang Haoran produced four masks.
The masks were entirely black, not the fearsome, fanged faces of ghosts. Though not terrifying in appearance, they conveyed an unsettling sensation, and this unsettling feeling stemmed entirely from the captivating smiles etched upon them.
At first glance, the smiles on the masks seemed kind and benevolent, but after a few more looks, one would feel a chill in their heart, giving rise to an indescribable sense of eeriness.
"These four masks were specially made by a master I sought out during the two days you spent cultivating the secret art. Although the material of the masks is quite ordinary, the craftsmanship is exceptionally fine; I believe you can all see that."
"Of course, exquisite craftsmanship alone wouldn't mean much, so I expended a large amount of Spirit Power to imbue these four masks. If you encounter danger, you only need to inject Yin Qi into the mask, and it will immediately form a protective barrier, reducing the damage you sustain. And I will also be able to sense it at once, pinpoint your location, and arrive in time to provide support."
"Wearing these masks will prevent you from revealing your appearances, thereby maximizing the secrecy of your identities. As for the protective enchantments on the masks, they are meant to save your lives; do not activate them casually unless absolutely necessary."
"Understood! " The four nodded respectfully, then responded in unison.
Yang Haoran nodded, then said with a smile, "Everything that needed to be said has been said. I hope you won't disappoint me. Finally, let me emphasize this: always wear your masks when performing missions outside. When you return to the villa, take them off beforehand. All right, you may depart. "Night God Under the Moon
