"Over the years, Yang Xinhu has publicly released more than 500 pills, but behind the scenes, he has given these spiritual pills to countless people. The number of people affected is probably innumerable."
Lin Jinglong shook his head.
He naturally wouldn't take this pill that he couldn't understand, and coupled with his suspicion of Yang Xinhu, he was almost convinced that something was fishy going on!
Hei Yue and Situ Xue exchanged a glance.
They all felt that Lin Jinglong was being overly cautious.
Just then, a powerful aura suddenly appeared outside the villa, blatantly venturing into the area.
Lin Jinglong removed the talismans that were obscuring the heavenly secrets nearby.
"who?"
He came to the door and asked in a low voice.
A figure in a black robe stood outside the door.
He stared intently at Lin Jinglong, his expression enigmatic...
On the other side.
Yang Xinhu is inside the manor villa.
He held a jade Bodhisattva in his hand, its surface warm and lustrous, covered with a thick patina, indicating that it had been handled and played with for many years.
Behind the sofa, Ruoqing, a naked puppet, was massaging his shoulders with her delicate hands.
Yang Xinhu probed his divine sense into the jade Bodhisattva ornament.
A faint smile quickly appeared on his lips.
"Seventy people have already taken the bait, but unfortunately, why hasn't the most important Spirit Essence Pill taken effect yet?"
"Does Lin Jinglong not trust me?"
"If that's the case, we'll have to use some methods to force him to take the pill."
Yang Xinhu muttered to himself.
He raised his hand towards the outside of the room, and dozens of faintly visible threads wrapped around his fingertips. More than a dozen figures appeared outside the door one after another.
They were all martial artists wearing Yang family uniforms.
However, their eyes were lifeless and their postures were stiff.
But they are all ninth-level Martial Emperors!
The number was a staggering nearly twenty!
Yang Xinhu quietly dispatched these people.
The target is the villa where Lin Jinglong is!
At this time.
An eighth-grade spiritual essence pill was placed in front of Lin Jinglong.
Hei Yue and Situ Xue both looked worried.
Because they realized that Lin Jinglong's previous guesses had actually been proven true!
Across from the three stood a man in black robes.
He was looking at Lin Jinglong with a fawning expression.
"Master Lin!"
He was the mysterious intruder from before.
He had a mysterious air about him, but upon seeing Lin Jinglong, he became like a groveling dog, wagging his tail and begging for mercy.
They also claimed to be from an organization called the White Lotus Society.
At this moment, Lin Jinglong held a white jade token in his hand, which was engraved with a blooming lotus pattern.
"President Ming, if it weren't for your reminder, I probably wouldn't have been able to unravel the secret of this Spirit Essence Pill so easily. I'm very grateful to you this time."
Not long ago, after this person appeared, he immediately explained the secret of the Spirit Essence Pill to Lin Jinglong.
This precious pill is essentially a puppet pill!
After taking the precious pill, one's soul will be nourished and strengthened, and it can even directly elevate one's Martial Emperor realm.
However, the price was that a hidden mark was left in his soul. It remained unnoticed most of the time, but Yang Xinhu could use it whenever he needed to.
It takes a certain amount of time and effort.
Turn those who have taken the elixir into puppets!
The man in black robes in front of him gave a faint bitter smile and shook his head, saying, "It's all for serving Master Lin, there's no need to thank me."
Black Moon was somewhat puzzled.
She sent a telepathic message to Lin Jinglong.
"Why is this person so respectful to you, and even gave you the secrets of Yang Xinhu that he painstakingly investigated for free?"
Lin Jinglong laughed heartily.
He stood up, holding the white lotus token.
"Zhuge Zun, even in death you have sent me a great gift."
The president of the White Lotus Society in front of me is Bai Minglian.
It was part of the Five Elements Refining Life Formation that Zhuge Zun had mastered. Mingbai Lian had also cultivated the Immortal Sitting Mountain Technique, and he had three thousand warriors under his command, who occupied the southern border.
It is one of the largest secretive forces in the southern border region.
However, following the recent martial arts competition in Kyoto, the ruthless Zhuge Zun prematurely activated the Five Elements Refining Life Formation, drawing their martial arts foundations into the Qingxu Cave Heaven to fight Lin Jinglong.
This resulted in heavy losses for the White Lotus Society.
Now there are fewer than two thousand people left.
This made it clear that Lian's cultivation level had also fallen from the peak of the ninth rank to the initial rank, and her condition was extremely miserable.
It was only then that he realized that he, as the president of the White Lotus Society, was not the source of the Immortal Sitting Mountain Technique; the true source was Zhuge Zun!
Furthermore, Zhuge Zun was defeated by Lin Jinglong in the martial arts competition using the Immortal Sitting Mountain Technique. In other words, Lin Jinglong has now become the one who truly monopolizes the Immortal Sitting Mountain Technique.
So when he saw Lin Jinglong while he was hiding in the crowd, he made up his mind.
Join Lin Jinglong's bandwagon and cling to his coattails!
Otherwise, if Lin Jinglong were to use the Immortal Mountain-Sitting Technique again like Zhuge Zun, he wouldn't even know how he died.
That's just too tragic!
Bai Lian said with a forced smile, "Master Lin, our White Lotus Society has a strong foundation in the Southern Frontier, which is why we were able to investigate Yang Xinhu's background. If you don't mind, please become the new president of our White Lotus Society. The two thousand brothers who are still alive all admire you very much."
Lin Jinglong tossed the president's token back.
"Don't worry, although I did forcefully plant a soul seed in Zhuge Zun and use the Mountain Sitting Technique to overpower him, making me the sole source of the Mountain Sitting Technique, I have no interest in exploiting you."
When Minglian accepted the token, he was not happy at all. Instead, he knelt down on the ground and said with a mournful face, "Master Lin, please accept this token."
"If you don't accept it, the brothers won't feel at ease!"
"As long as you accept the token and become our guild leader, we'll be willing to serve you like a slave!"
Situ Xue and Hei Yue were dumbfounded.
Are there really people who would willingly become someone's dog?
Lin Jinglong twitched the corner of his mouth, but still shook his head.
"I will not use the Mountain-Sitting Technique lightly. If I do need to use it, I will discuss it with you. It is easy to borrow again if you repay what you borrow. I will never resort to underhanded tricks like Zhuge Zun."
"Master Lin!"
Lian still wanted to plead.
"Stand up!"
Lin Jinglong shouted sharply.
Minglian trembled all over and had no choice but to get up.
Then, Lin Jinglong said to him indifferently, "The Myriad Spirits Society has fallen apart because of the death of the Myriad Spirits Ancestor. I don't care about the attitudes of the other three families."
"As for your White Lotus Society, you can be considered my vassals to some extent. If there is anything I can do to help you, you will be rewarded accordingly."
"Now, tell me in detail about Yang Xinhu's scheme, and why you call this Spirit Essence Pill the Puppet Pill!"
I understand why Hasumi Hayashi's attitude is so frank.
He pondered for a moment and then began to explain to Lin Jinglong.
"The Spirit Elixir did indeed originate from an ancient ruin, but it was accompanied by a Celestial-level puppet technique. Yang Xingang used this Celestial-level puppet technique to reach the Martial Emperor realm, and he also kept at least three thousand martial artist puppets under his command..."
