Running A Cemetery in North America

"Would you be willing to surrender your faith for this power to bring greater safety to the ordinary people of this world?"

Facing Sun Yan's question, Smith was taken aback and immediately fell silent.

Absolutely powerful exorcism power? And his own faith.

His expression showed a hint of hesitation, and after gnashing his teeth and pondering for a long time, Smith finally raised his head and said with great determination, "I think, I would. If faith can't allow me to face those things that want to harm people, to permanently eliminate them from this world, my faith would be worthless."

"Good, very good, I'll give you something, Mr. Smith. Perhaps one day you'll be glad for today's choice."

Sun Yan immediately got up and went upstairs. When he returned, he had an Earth Shrine in his hand.

"What's this? A toy?" Seeing the wooden house-like structure in Sun Yan's hand, Smith looked puzzled.

As a Westerner, he naturally had never seen something like an Earth Shrine.

"No, no, no, you can call it an Earth Shrine, a residence for a divine spirit named the Earth God. As long as you offer incense to it daily, or even lead others to offer incense,

it's enough just to offer incense; no need for singing, worship, or gifts, nothing. As long as you have a sincere heart for exorcism, believe me, you can gain exorcism power from it."

Sun Yan handed the Earth Shrine to Smith and patiently explained.

"Is it really this magical? Okay, I'll definitely give it a try when I get back." Smith curiously said as he took the Earth Shrine.

Sun Yan smiled, extraordinarily happy inside.

As the saying goes, if relying on my own power to spread the Earth Shrine, it would take forever to reach all of North America.

But if I let foreigners help spread it, wouldn't it be more efficient for them to pass it on from one to ten, ten to a hundred?

And Sun Yan could guarantee that the Earth Shrine was really effective.

The more incense offered, the more you'll gain; absolutely fair.

"Alright, now let's get back to business, Mr. Smith. I've received your payment, and on behalf of our members, I accept your commission. Please wait a moment, I'll go get them over here."

Sun Yan put away the US Dollars and the Cross into his pocket and went to Sosia and Elise's room, pulling the two still groggy women up.

When they found out it was an exorcism commission related to the Morolick family, they instantly perked up.

Sosia was the most excited among them; overthrowing the Morolick family was her goal. It was precisely because of this matter that she came to Saint Anna City and died in the abandoned factory.

Now that this opportunity had arisen, Sosia naturally had no reason to refuse.

Take it! Must take it!

Elise's expression was somewhat complex. After all, she was once a member of the Morolick family, even though she was now a member of the Graveyard, dealing with her former clan was still a strange thing.

"Elise, if you're bothered by it, you can stay home, no pressure." Sun Yan said.

He naturally didn't worry about Elise's loyalty, as a person resurrected in the graveyard, loyalty was absolutely guaranteed.

But Sun Yan also considered the feelings and thoughts of the Graveyard members, as Elise was also a life, not a machine working unpaid for him.

"No problem, I'm familiar with the Morolick family's situation, having me with you will make things smoother. Don't worry, ever since I died, I have nothing to do with the Morolick family," Elise said nonchalantly with a laugh.

"Alright, you guys get ready, let's head out as soon as possible. We've got Roken and Sister Jessica watching over at home, plus Dahuang's guard, so let's aim to go and return quickly."

Sun Yan threw the keys to Sosia. Ever since Sosia arrived, Sun Yan no longer needed to drive himself with Sosia as the driver.

...

The gold mining town Smith mentioned was quite far from Saint Anna City, about thirty kilometers or so, nestled in a valley.

Ever since the rumors of no gold in the town spread, no one had come to this place again.

Even the dirt road opened up back then had now returned to its most primitive state, requiring off-road trekking through the wilderness, guided by Smith's directions, to reach the location of the gold mining town.

Sosia drove attentively, with Elise sitting in the passenger seat eating a panini breakfast she bought on the way.

Sun Yan and Smith sat in the back seat, feeling the bumps along the way, still grateful for purchasing a Ford pickup, which had pretty good passability and shock absorption.

If Sun Yan had bought an urban SUV, it might not have been able to navigate such bumpy roads.

Task Reward: Celestial Thunder Altar Blueprint (a powerful defensive structure that can help you eliminate those demons daring to intrude into the graveyard)

——

Looking at the tasks acquired today in the notebook, Sun Yan nodded with satisfaction.

Although today's daily task offered trivial rewards, even if Sun Yan were free, he wouldn't bother doing such idle tasks.

But the bounty task Smith brought, the reward was quite nice.

The Celestial Thunder Altar seemed similar to the Demon-Slaying Crossbow Tower, a defensive structure, and by the power introduction, it was definitely much more powerful than the Demon-Slaying Crossbow Tower.

If it were convenient to make it in the future, Sun Yan thought of setting one up in the apartment where his parents lived.

In case they encountered something unclean, it could serve as protection.

And if this thing was in his graveyard, he wouldn't need to worry about the Bloody Sunday anymore.

Demon-Slaying Crossbow Tower + Celestial Thunder Altar, combined with the main house being guarded by the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao and the Monkey King, it would be a peace of mind beyond description.

"Mr. Jackson, you really like reading books. If I were you, I would already be throwing up by now."

Seeing Sun Yan holding a notebook all the time, Smith couldn't help but say.

"There's a saying from my hometown: Study hard and make progress every day." Sun Yan closed the notebook and casually explained.

"But you don't usually seem like a book lover at the graveyard, do you?"

Elise turned her head eating the panini, very puzzled, said: "I saw a book in your room with the protective film still intact, it even has dust on it."

"Eat your breakfast, stop talking so much." Sun Yan waved his hand, exasperated, turning Elise's head back.

The pickup truck drove through the wilderness with no roads for over an hour, and the outline of the gold mining town hidden in the valley finally appeared in everyone's view.

But just as Sosia was about to step on the gas and drive into the valley, a bad premonition suddenly arose in Sun Yan's heart. It felt like impending doom.

Sun Yan had always trusted his intuition, he hurriedly shouted, "Stop! Don't go in!"

But it was too late. A black arc flew from a distance, precisely hitting the side of the Ford pickup.

With a loud explosion, the entire Ford pickup flew high, uncontrollably tipping to one side.

Flames soared into the sky, thick smoke billowed.

For a moment, the lives of those inside the car were uncertain.
