Chapter 541: Putting on a Good Show

The villagers had no idea what I was about to do and all stared at me with puzzled expressions.

Seeing me walk towards the altar, the Great Immortal casually moved to where the village chief had been resting and plunked down in the chair, then closed his eyes. At the same time, his hands kept moving as if he were performing some kind of calculation, pretending to be a sage.

After I reached the altar, the first thing I did was pick up the almost shredded piece of white paper with the character for "ghost" on it, which had mostly turned red, though there were still some white areas.

I tore off a few pieces of the still-white paper and then turned my attention to the bowl of talisman water that the Great Immortal had sprayed on the kitchen knife.

I lifted the small bowl to my nose and sniffed it, it didn't smell like water, but had a faint, strange odor instead.

I hesitated for a moment, drank a little of the talisman water, and then directly spat it out.
