Chapter 97 Discovering a Shortcut, Successively Capturing Ghosts

If that's the case...

Lu Xian discovered a shortcut for imprisoning ghosts.

First, 'injure' the ghost.

Then use 'Heavenly Garment Suppressing Malevolence'.

That way, it would consume less soul points, allowing for the capture of more ghosts.

The most important thing was that the ghost items he obtained here didn't require any consumption; they were very powerful.

"I accidentally gained some information; this wave isn't a loss."

Lu Xian chuckled.

Maybe following this routine, even B-Class Ghosts can be captured!

However, he currently didn't have any items capable of injuring a B-Class Ghost.

Lu Xian followed the same pattern.

He caught a lone C-Class Ghost on the street—the Peeping Tom Ghost.

The Peeping Tom Ghost was dressed as a man holding a film camera and wearing a peaked cap.

The reason Lu Xian targeted it...

...was because this thing had just taken a candid photo of him from behind.

At that time, he received a notification:

{You have been attacked by a C-Class supernatural entity; the demon-suppressing celestial master robe is immune to the current ghost damage.}

{Peeping Tom Ghost: C-Class Malignant Ghost. If photographed by its camera, the soul will be trapped in the camera film (Soul strength of C-Class and above is unaffected).}

Lu Xian was instantly enraged.

He wanted to use the scissors to snip it to death.

But after taking the photo, the ghostly thing bolted away.

Lu Xian immediately chased after it with the scissors in hand.

He chased it for a while without catching up, then thought of something midway.

He took out the ghost needle and ghost needle and thread; the two items instantly connected themselves.

Lu Xian flicked the ghost needle.

The ghost needle, as if it had eyes, automatically tracked and instantly pierced through the fleeing Peeping Tom Ghost and the ghost camera in its hand.

The ghost needle and thread directly entangled the opponent.

The Peeping Tom Ghost shrieked and was instantly frozen in place.

"Good treasure!"

Lu Xian was secretly delighted seeing this.

This ghost item is pretty good!

He stepped forward, grabbed the ghost scissors, and snipped at the Peeping Tom Ghost's head.

Snip.

A ghost head fell to the ground.

At the same time, Lu Xian also clipped off its limbs.

The Peeping Tom Ghost wailed repeatedly, drawing the attention of various supernatural creatures around.

"Capture!"

Seeing that the ghost was sufficiently injured...

Lu Xian immediately used 'Heavenly Garment Suppressing Malevolence'!

{Heavenly Garment Suppressing Malevolence effect activated!}

{soul points -15 points.}

{Congratulations, you have successfully sealed a C-Class Peeping Tom Ghost; the demon-suppressing celestial master robe has been enhanced.}

{The demon-suppressing celestial master robe currently contains C-Class souls: 4; D-Class souls: 1.}

"It really works!"

Lu Xian was secretly pleased.

Crippling the ghost before capturing it saves exactly half the soul points!

What if I cripple it even more?

"Gotta slip away first."

Lu Xian's joy didn't last long.

Because he saw five C-Class Ghosts and seven D-Class Ghosts actively approaching his direction.

There were too many; the demon-suppressing celestial master robe wouldn't be able to hold up.

【Brother Lu, why are you wimping out?】

【Aren't you supposed to be able to catch ghosts? Why are you scared?】

【Go for it, 1 vs 12!】

The bullet comments egged him on.

"I can catch them, but there are too many."

Lu Xian said while running.

The ghosts behind seemed to have locked onto him, following closely; he couldn't shake them off.

Seeing this scene...

...everyone in the livestream room shouted "666":

【Hide in a trash can!】

【Hahaha, right! Hide in a trash can, the ghosts won't look there.】

But that trash can?

It had already been left by Lu Xian at the entrance of the Stuffed Doll Shop; he hadn't taken it with him.

Seeing that he was about to be caught...

Lu Xian gritted his teeth slightly, took out the ghost scissors, and snipped at the approaching C-Class Ghost.

However...

That ghost wasn't directly crippled, but it slowed down as a result.

"As expected, the effect is much worse!"

At this moment, the other C-Class Ghosts caught up.

Lu Xian reached back and took out the ghost needle and thread.

To his surprise, the ghost needle actively shot forward, carrying the thread to pierce and entangle the bodies of the three C-Class Ghosts in front, instantly sewing and binding them in place.

And the length of the ghost needle and thread in his hand had also reached its limit.

It seemed the limit of the ghost needle and thread was to entangle three C-Class Ghosts.

Who would have thought this tailor's three-piece set would be so effective!

Those nine netherworld banknotes were worth it!

But this way, Lu Xian still faced two C-Class Ghosts and seven D-Class Ghosts!

"Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

Seeing that the remaining C-Class and D-Class Ghosts were within the defense range of the demon-suppressing celestial master robe...

...he instantly perked up.

He had 19 points of soul points left.

It wasn't very realistic to capture them all with this much soul points.

Furthermore, the three entangled C-Class Ghosts were struggling frantically.

The temporarily wound ghost needle and thread was about to snap.

"I stab!"

{You have been attacked by a C-Class supernatural entity; the demon-suppressing celestial master robe is immune to the current ghost damage.}

{You have been attacked by a D-Class supernatural entity; the demon-suppressing celestial master robe is immune to the current ghost damage.}

"I snip!"

Lu Xian attacked a C-Class Ghost while withstanding the assaults of nine ghosts.

The yellow Taoist robe he was wearing had been torn and shredded into strips.

Revealing the ferocious-looking Taiji red robe underneath.

There were five ghost head marks on it!

"Borrowing ghosts to slay evil!"

Lu Xian saw that the ghost needle and thread binding the three ghosts was about to give way.

He instantly summoned the C-Class Water Ghost to fight.

"You hold them off."

"One of the C-Class Ghosts has been wounded by my stabbing."

Lu Xian immediately ordered.

A puddle of water quickly spread from beneath the Water Ghost's feet, rapidly expanding to the feet of those ghosts.

Bluish-black ghost hands continuously reached out from the water, grabbing the ghosts' feet and slowing their pace.

Instantly, five D-Class Ghosts were dragged into the water and disappeared.

The C-Class Ghosts were minimally affected; they soon launched a supernatural invasion, attacking the Water Ghost.

The Water Ghost was fighting one against nine and soon fell into a disadvantage.

On the other side, Lu Xian quickly used the ghost scissors, aiming at the C-Class Ghost entangled by the ghost needle and thread.

He snipped twice in rapid succession before successfully cutting off its ghost head.

After heavily wounding one C-Class Ghost, the pressure on the ghost needle and thread decreased sharply, and it once again tightly locked those three ghosts.

Witnessing all this...

...everyone in the livestream room was both shocked and dumbfounded:

【Holy crap, aren't these ghosts that suddenly appeared the ones Brother Lu captured before?】

【Incredible, how did he do that!】

【Asking ghosts for help? As expected of Master Lu!】

【Awesome, awesome. I truly believe he can catch ghosts now, Family members.】

Lu Xian quickly stepped forward to help the Water Ghost fight back.

Under the clipping of the terrifying ghost scissors, another C-Class Ghost and four D-Class Ghosts fled in injury.

Then, without stopping for a moment, Lu Xian took the opportunity to heavily wound the three C-Class Ghosts locked in place by the ghost needle and thread.

Then he picked up the ghost scissors and snipped at the remaining trapped C-Class and D-Class Ghosts.

However...

Even though Lu Xian had snipped them into pieces, those ghosts were still wailing and howling on the ground, eerie and terrifying.

"Are ghosts immortal?"

Seeing this, Lu Xian had no choice but to use the demon-suppressing celestial master robe to capture them again.

His soul points had recovered to 20 points.

{Heavenly Garment Suppressing Malevolence effect activated!}

{soul points -8 points.}

{Congratulations, you have successfully sealed the C-Class Gluttonous Ghost; the demon-suppressing celestial master robe has been enhanced!}

He had 12 points of soul points left.

Lu Xian used the ghost needle and ghost scissors again, stabbing and snipping at these ghost limbs.

He frantically abused the ghost bodies.

{soul points -5 points.}

{Congratulations, you have successfully sealed the C-Class Car Crash Ghost; the demon-suppressing celestial master robe has been enhanced.}

Originally, it required 30 soul points points to capture a C-Class Ghost.

After Lu Xian's round of "breaking their bones," it only required 5 points.

Lu Xian abused them some more, then tried to imprison and store them.

The result was still 5 points; it seemed this was the minimum value.

{Congratulations, you have successfully sealed the C-Class Split-Head Ghost; the demon-suppressing celestial master robe has been enhanced.}

After another round of frantic abuse, the remaining D-Class Ghosts were captured using only 1 soul points point.

In the end, Lu Xian used 20 soul points points to seal three C-Class Ghosts and two D-Class Ghosts within the demon-suppressing celestial master robe.

He waited for nearly 10 more minutes, and after recovering a bit of soul points, he successfully captured the last C-Class Ghost and C-Class Ghost.

The summoned Water Ghost dissipated and vanished.

The ghost mark belonging to the Water Ghost on the celestial master robe also disappeared without a trace.

But his ghost-catching task record did not decrease.
