"Hello, Citywide Express Delivery. Please sign for the package."

In the afternoon, as Lin Tian arrived home carrying poplar wood strips he had obtained from a nearby road, his online shopping materials also arrived simultaneously.

After expressing gratitude and signing for the delivery, Lin Tian placed the twenty kilograms of iron sand and twenty fire rocks he had purchased on the ground, alongside the twenty poplar wood strips of almost identical size.

"Now that the first three materials are here, all that's left are the last two spirit beads!" Lin Tian exclaimed, looking at the materials on the ground. He rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

"The Yin spirit is a creature that exists in reality as a spiritual body... I just went out and didn't encounter any spiritual creatures. Where could I find the Yin spirit?" Lin Tian spoke in a deep voice.

When Lin Tian had gone out to search for poplar trees, he had kept his spiritual power focused on his eyes to avoid missing any potential appearances of Yin spirits. However, he had not found any trace of them.

While Lin Tian pondered and contemplated, a sudden realization crossed his mind. "Wait... isn't that what the Yin spirit is... that's right!"

He remembered reading about the theory of 'Yin spirits' in several supernatural books.

"It seems we'll have to wait until night," Lin Tian concluded with a silent nod.

After a simple meal, Lin Tian began to feel dizzy and tired, possibly due to the continuous use of spiritual power. He already had a plan in mind to find the Yin Spirit. To ensure he would be in optimal condition for the night, Lin Tian lay down and went to bed to rest.

"Oh no!" Lin Tian, who had been soundly asleep, suddenly felt an icy chill creeping into his body.

In a daze, he tried to reach for the quilt, but to his shock, he found that his body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, rendering him immobile.

Abruptly, Lin Tian jolted awake, only to discover that he couldn't open his eyes.

Panic surged through him.

In that moment of crisis, Lin Tian concentrated his thoughts, and countless spiritual threads from the sea of consciousness between his eyebrows gathered above his eyes.

The scene in the room materialized in his mind!

"This is..." Through spiritual observation, Lin Tian realized that his body was tightly wrapped in a summer quilt.

And standing atop this quilt was a gray-white shadow.

A Yin spirit!

"It's a Yin spirit!" Upon seeing the gray-white shadow and feeling the ominous spiritual aura emanating from it, Lin Tian was instantly certain that this was the Yin spirit he had been seeking.

Just as Lin Tian was excited about finding the Yin spirit, under his spiritual observation, the Yin spirit on Xia Liang's quilt slowly bent down, moving its head towards Lin Tian.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"Huhhuh!"

In that moment, the sound of breathing suddenly reached his ears, and then, Lin Tian felt his lips grow cold...

For a moment, all Lin Tian could feel was the cold air brushing against his face, and his consciousness seemed to gradually fade.

"What the hell..." Lin Tian hadn't expected the Yin spirit to come to him before he went searching for it. But this was not what Lin Tian had hoped for...

His consciousness gradually blurred, and his body began to stiffen.

Just as Lin Tian was about to drift back to sleep, another sound reached his ears.

This time, it wasn't the sound of breathing, but the sound of splashing water.

He saw water splashing in the fish tank on the desk next to the bed, and a silver figure emerged from it.

It was undoubtedly Long Yi!

"Swish swish~!"

A series of sounds pierced the air as numerous water droplets shot out and bombarded the gray figure.

"Ouch! Ugh! Ugh~!"

Water droplets pierced through the gray figure on the summer quilt, and a series of whining and wailing sounds filled the room.

At this very moment, Lin Tian felt his body relax, and his consciousness suddenly cleared!

"Bah~!"

Seizing this opportunity, Lin Tian rolled out of bed, strode to the desk, and spat forcefully.

As he turned around, Long Yi swirled in the air and returned to the fish tank.

The gray figure emerging from Xia Liang's quilt stopped wailing and glared at Lin Tian angrily.

At this point, Lin Tian felt profoundly drained and weak. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the window beside him. It was already completely dark.

Looking up and seeing the watch hanging by the door, Lin Tian's expression froze!

It was exactly midnight, twelve o'clock!

"He recalled that it had only been three or four o'clock in the afternoon when he went to bed, but he hadn't expected to sleep until now.

"I don't know when this ghost appeared, but I didn't even notice it," Lin Tian felt disheartened.

He usually slept very lightly and would wake up at the slightest movement, but not this time...

Just as Lin Tian was contemplating, the Xia Liang quilt on the bed suddenly stood upright, and the gray figures attached to it surged in a circle, heading toward Lin Tian's direction.

At such a short distance, the Xia Liang quilt and Yin Ling arrived in an instant, about to wrap up Lin Tian again.

At this critical moment, Long Yi, who had just entered the water, surged up once more.

"Puff puff puff~!"

A series of water droplets shot out from Long Yi's mouth.

Xia Liang was bombarded, unable to advance.

At the same time, Lin Tian felt the area between his eyebrows grow intensely hot.

In his sight, streams of spiritual power burst out and merged into Long Yi's body.

At this point, the water droplets shot out of the dragon's mouth transformed instantly. The water droplets, once the size of soybeans, now resembled water balloons the size of fists!

As the water balloons were released, a series of explosions reverberated through the house.

"Boom boom boom~!"

In the blink of an eye, the Xia Liang quilt was riddled with holes, and the gray shadows flickered, losing the arrogance they had displayed before.

"Hmph! You dare to deceive me. Let's see if I can't vanquish you today!" Lin Tian snorted coldly, his eyebrows twitching as he channeled his spiritual power into Long Yi's body once more.

Countless water balloons pierced through the summer quilt as if it were nothing.

"Snapped!"

Not long after, with a faint sound, the gray shadow disappeared completely, and Xia Liang's quilt fell to the ground with a crash.

"Ding!"

"Successfully defeated the Yin spirit and obtained Spirit Orbs*3!"

As a message flashed through the window, three beads the size of glass balls, glowing with spiritual energy, appeared on the floor.

Seeing this, Lin Tian hurriedly stepped forward to pick them up and said, "I finally obtained the spirit pearls!"

Feeling the warmth and coolness emanating from the spirit beads, Lin Tian lowered his head and saw the wrinkled summer quilt beneath his feet.

"How could a Yin spirit appear when Xia Liang is in bed..." Lin Tian muttered, squatting down to pick up Xia Liang.

He had bought this summer quilt just yesterday, and it was his first time using it today. He hadn't expected something like this to happen.

"The old woman who sold me the summer quilt..."

As Lin Tian looked at the quilt in his hand and the exposed lining, his mind flashed to the image of the old woman who had sold it to him.

Recalling the old woman's peculiar eyes and the smile that covered her wrinkled face, Lin Tian couldn't help but shudder.

"Is it a coincidence? Or..."

Lin Tian frowned, lost in thought.
