The demonic pill piqued Bai Xue's interest, but Bai Xue did not immediately collect this demonic pill into her independent space, because she knew that before Yang Haoran agreed, this demonic pill did not belong to her.

It's just that she hadn't had a chance to speak up yet, when Yang Haoran opened his mouth and told her to take the demonic pill, which made Bai Xue both excited and grateful.

Originally, Yang Haoran wanted to give Bai Xue the demonic pill he had on him as well, but considering that they might encounter demonic scripts or hexes in the future, he had to temporarily abandon this idea.

"Underworld Envoy big brother, these things are all used by spirit masters, how should we handle them?" Bai Xue put away the demonic pill, and the excitement on her face had not yet faded as she smiled and asked Yang Haoran.

"Put them away first, maybe they'll come in handy someday." Yang Haoran responded, then put all of Zhao Hong's collections into his own independent space.

Of course, Yang Haoran did not include Zhao Hong's private belongings.

Due to the severe poison, Zhao Hong's body had completely turned black at this point. Yang Haoran turned the already blackened body of Zhao Hong and found a small bottle.

Previously in the dark, he had witnessed Zhao Hong putting the man's soul and Guardian Spirit into this bottle, so Yang Haoran naturally wouldn't forget this bottle.

This bottle is somewhat similar to the soul gathering bead of the Yin Division, as it also has the function of collecting and trapping souls. However, in comparison, the soul gathering bead is much better in various aspects.

According to the information Yang Haoran obtained from Zhao Hong, this type of bottle first of all can't hold much soul. Secondly, the quality of this bottle is not as good as the soul gathering bead. If a powerful ghost is trapped inside, the bottle may crack, which means this bottle can't confine a powerful ghost for long.

Like tonight, when Zhao Hong collected the man's malevolent spirit Guardian Spirit, she had to deal with it quickly, because with the quality of this bottle, it cannot contain the malevolent spirit for too long.

Other than that, just based on these two points, this bottle is no match for the Yin Division's soul gathering bead.

As for why Zhao Hong didn't use the soul gathering bead as a container for collecting souls, one reason is that the soul gathering bead requires Yin spiritual power to activate, but this is not the main reason. The main reason is that she is a spirit master, and the soul gathering bead is an item of the Yin Division. Spirit masters have their own pride, and they usually disdain to use the Yin Division's soul gathering bead.

Through Yang Haoran's inspection, he found that there were quite a few souls in the bottle, but the vast majority were ordinary undead, including one undead that was Zhao Hong's fellow villager, the deceased person Zhao Hong helped tonight. Yang Haoran was able to recognize this deceased person because of the impression he had from the black and white portrait in the car while monitoring Zhao Hong.

Yang Haoran did not intend to keep these souls stored in the bottle, as the bottle is far too inferior for him, so he transferred all the souls into the soul gathering bead.

The process of transferring the souls went relatively smoothly, except that it took some time to transfer the malevolent spirit, as its strength is not to be underestimated. Even a newly promoted malevolent spirit is still a malevolent spirit, much stronger than an evil spirit, so it was inevitable that it would take some time to transfer.

However, the previous battle had already greatly depleted this malevolent spirit, and its strength was inferior to Yang Haoran's, so in the end it was unable to escape Yang Haoran's grasp and was forcibly stuffed into the soul gathering bead.

Apart from that, the spirit master who had previously died at Zhao Hong's hands was both shocked and terrified at Yang Haoran's appearance, as he naturally recognized Yang Haoran's identity. However, Yang Haoran had no intention of wasting time on him, and directly forced his soul into the soul gathering bead without a word.

After doing all of this, Yang Haoran called Captain Luo and told him that the matter had been resolved, and thanked him at the same time.

Seeing Yang Haoran hang up the phone, Bai Xue smiled and said, "This trip wasn't bad. Next time there's something like this, remember to call me too."

"Hehe, aren't you afraid you might lose your life because of that?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"Seeking fortune in danger, I was able to cultivate and reach this point today, the perilousness of which you can't even imagine. There are so many white snakes in this world, but not many can achieve spirit form. Why is that? One reason is opportunity, and another reason is that they lack courage." Bai Xue said with a coquettish smile.

Yang Haoran smiled without a word, and with a wave of his hand, a gust of cold wind arose, sweeping Zhao Hong's body, her private belongings, and the body of the male spirit master previously killed by Zhao Hong, all into a large pit, which was then covered with soil and rubble.

Bai Xue watched Yang Haoran's actions with some puzzlement.

"They are enemies, why bother burying them? Leaving the corpses to rot in the wilderness would be better, wouldn't it?"

Yang Haoran gave a slight smile and replied, "They are enemies, but not my personal foes."

Bai Xue seemed to understand and half-understand, then shook her head and said, "You humans are really complicated, no, it's Underworld Envoy big brother you who is really complicated. Sometimes I really can't understand how you think."

"I told you before, I sometimes have very firm principles, and sometimes I have no principles at all. You can just treat me as a lunatic if you want." Yang Haoran said with a smile.

This remark made Bai Xue laugh. She didn't expect Yang Haoran to describe himself in such a way.

"Wait a moment, I just forgot something important."

With that, Bai Xue walked to the place where Zhao Hong and the other spirit master were buried, under Yang Haoran's gaze. She then extended her snow-white right hand and made a sudden sucking motion towards the ground!

On top of the two bodies, there was only a layer of gravel and soil, which had not been compacted. However, Bai Xue's sucking motion did not affect the soil and gravel at all. Instead, a stream of milky-white mist emerged from the crevices in the soil and gravel, then converged towards Bai Xue's palm.

This process took about twenty breaths. After the milky mist no longer drifted out, Bai Xue retracted her hand. 

In her palm, a fist-sized ball of milky mist had condensed. The mist gathered but did not disperse, gently rotating.

"Hey hey, Underworld Envoy big brother, do you know what this is?" Bai Xue raised the milky white mist ball in her hand and asked Yang Haoran with a smile.

To be honest, Yang Haoran had never seen this before. But since Bai Xue had come to the place where Zhao Hong's two bodies were buried to collect this thing, it meant this milky white mist must be related to their bodies. Combining with Bai Xue's demonic identity, he had some guesses in his mind.

"Is this... a human spirit?" Yang Haoran replied, his tone a bit uncertain.

"Wow! Not bad, Underworld Envoy big brother knows quite a bit. This is indeed a human spirit. Normally human spirits are formless and colorless, just like Heaven and Earth spiritual qi, invisible and intangible. But when it becomes concentrated enough, the naked eye can observe it."

Bai Xue gave an affirmative reply with a smile.

"The reason we demons can cultivate into human form is because humans are the supreme among all spirits. However, even though we demons take human form, we do not have human spirits within us. Human spirits only exist in true humans, and this human spirit is a great supplement for us demons. It is a good thing for improving our own attainment and strength."

"The reason demons eat humans is to absorb the human spirit contained in human flesh and blood. The stronger the human, the more powerful the human spirit contained in their flesh and blood. These two spirit masters were quite powerful, so the human spirit contained in their bodies was also very strong. It's just a pity that most of their blood had already been lost, so the human spirit I extracted from their bodies is somewhat reduced. But I'm still quite satisfied to be able to extract so much."

Bai Xue explained with a smile, then controlled the floating human spirit in her palm to bring it in front of her face. She closed her eyes and gently inhaled, and the human spirit turned into two streams of milky white mist that constantly entered her nostrils.

The fist-sized human spirit visibly shrank at a rapid speed. In the blink of an eye, the human spirit was completely absorbed into Bai Xue's body.

Although the human spirit had been absorbed by Bai Xue, since it had not yet been refined, Yang Haoran did not feel any fluctuation of increased power being released by Bai Xue.

This was different from their Underworld Envoy, where as long as they had pure yin qi, once it was absorbed into their bodies, the effect would be immediate and obvious.

"Can't the blood that has fallen here be used to extract the human spirit?" Yang Haoran asked after Bai Xue had finished absorbing the human spirit.

"Once human blood leaves the body, if the human spirit is not extracted in time, the human spirit will quickly dissipate. So the bloodstains at the scene can no longer be used to extract human spirit. What you just saw me extract, the majority of it was taken from the flesh, because there was not much blood left in their bodies."

Bai Xue explained, and Yang Haoran now understood the subtleties of this matter.

"Is there anything else that needs to be handled?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

"No, no more. Let's go back home quickly. I need time to refine the human spirit within me, as well as that demonic pill I just obtained." Bai Xue said with a smile, her eyes showing eagerness.

Yang Haoran could understand Bai Xue's current urgency. Her strength could now be taken to the next level, and with Bai Xue's personality, she definitely couldn't remain calm.

He nodded and didn't continue to waste words. He directly tore open a space rift, and the two of them stepped into it, leaving the place.

Back at the villa, after greeting Yang Haoran, Bai Xue eagerly went into her own bedroom. Yang Haoran knew that Bai Xue was busy refining the human spirit and the demonic pill, so he did not stop her.

As for him, he tore open a space rift again and left the villa, reappearing at the same large mountain where he had previously slain Zhao Hong.[Heartfelt thankyou for the support! SlaySaga]
