After a detailed explanation by Bai Minglian, the relationship between the Immortal-level Puppet Technique and the Spirit Essence Pill was revealed, leaving Situ Xue and Hei Yue with lingering fear.
According to Mingbai Lian, the refining of this Spirit Essence Pill does not require alchemy skills of the same level; on the contrary, it only requires the input of spiritual power during the refining process.
It was as if a soul seed had been planted inside the elixir.
This soul seed can take root and sprout within the host's body, parasitizing the host's soul until the puppeteer needs it, at which point it can devour the host's soul.
To turn them into their puppets.
Situ Xue and Hei Yue both looked shaken. If Lin Jinglong hadn't sensed it beforehand and understood that Lian had come to explain the truth, it would have been a great relief.
They might soon be controlled by this Spirit Essence Pill.
"This crucial information is unknown to Dark Star Auction House and Black Moon Hall. How did your White Lotus Society obtain it?"
Lin Jinglong frowned slightly as he looked at Minglian.
The fact that the Spirit Essence Elixir could spread so far in the Southern Frontier, allowing Yang Xinhu to become the head of martial arts in the Southern Frontier, suggests that his puppetry skills must be airtight and unknown to others.
How did the White Lotus Society find out?
Mentioning this, Minglian smiled slightly with self-satisfaction.
"This is all thanks to Yang Xinhu's son, Yang Ruolin. He is a notorious playboy in the Southern Frontier, and he has also cultivated this immortal-level puppet technique."
“Some time ago, he had a conflict with our White Lotus Society and was secretly taught a lesson by us, which forced him to betray his family secrets.”
"and……"
Lian seemed somewhat hesitant.
"And what?"
"He also sold us that puppetry technique, but only half of the fragment; even he doesn't have the complete version."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinglong was immediately astonished.
He had seen plenty of spoiled brats from wealthy families, but was this guy named Yang Ruolin really that outrageous?
Even family secret techniques are being sold?
"Does your White Lotus Society really have such abilities?"
"It was just a coincidence. Yang Ruolin owed a huge sum of money at our casino, and since he didn't dare tell his father, he sold us that half of the incomplete book."
Mingbai Lian respectfully handed over a jade slip.
They have already studied it, including the distribution of the Yang family's power in the southern border region, and even the content of puppetry.
“Master Lin, this puppet technique is quite similar to the Mountain-Sitting Technique. Both are insidious techniques passed down from ancient times. We are not worthy of using them, so we entrust them to Master Lin for handling.”
Knowing that Lian was wary of Lin Jinglong using the Mountain-Sitting Technique on them, which would drain their martial arts realm along with their life force and potential, she showed Lin Jinglong utmost respect.
Lin Jinglong took the jade slip and chuckled.
"You haven't mastered this puppetry technique yet?"
"Master Lin is joking. This is, after all, a celestial-level cultivation technique, and a fragment at that. With the qualifications of our White Lotus Society, no one can master this technique."
Lin Jinglong was about to say something.
Suddenly, he sensed something moving outside.
He used his divine sense to survey the surrounding environment and discovered that a dozen or so high-level Martial Emperors were secretly approaching them, and their auras were extremely strange!
It doesn't look like a living person!
"So that's how it is. Yang Xinhu is trying to force us to take the Spirit Essence Pill..."
Lin Jinglong pondered for a moment.
He put away the jade slip containing the puppetry technique.
"Black Moon, let's take the Puppet Pill together."
"What?"
Hei Yue stared at Lin Jinglong in horror.
Is he crazy?
But the next moment, Lin Jinglong picked up the eighth-order puppet pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
Black Moon watched this scene, her hands trembling slightly.
If you take the Puppet Pill, you will be controlled by Yang Xinhu!
But under Lin Jinglong's watchful gaze, she had no choice but to trust him this time and immediately chose to take the pill.
A warm current flowed through her entire body.
This nourished and strengthened her spirit.
My spirits have been lifted considerably.
But this was followed by intense anxiety.
"Why should we take this puppet pill?"
Situ Xue and Bai Minglian, among others, all looked at Lin Jinglong with puzzled expressions.
“Yang Xinhu has already sent people over. If we don’t take the pill, we won’t be able to gain his trust, and we won’t have a place on tomorrow’s spiritual vein trip.”
Even after hearing Lin Jinglong's explanation, Hei Yue was still puzzled.
"Wouldn't taking this pill turn Yang Xinhu into a puppet?"
"Don't worry, I already have a way to crack it."
Lin Jinglong had already read the contents of the jade slip. Although he had not yet mastered the Yang family puppet technique, he was confident that he could crack the puppet pill.
Hei Yue and Situ Xue looked at each other in bewilderment.
Both of them felt that Lin Jinglong was too arrogant.
Minglian, who was standing to the side, was also extremely shocked. He said in a strained voice, "Master Lin, you were far too careless. After taking this pill, the other party's soul seed has already been planted in your body. It is impossible for you to escape now!"
"Who says it's impossible?"
Lin Jinglong shook his head.
He extended his divine sense again and discovered that the high-level Martial Emperors outside had suddenly concealed their auras and seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
He decided to use the next few hours to quickly learn the puppetry technique and then break the effects of the Spirit Essence Pill.
Meanwhile, Yang Xinhu, in his villa, wore a smug smile. He had already sensed through the jade Guanyin in his hand that Lin Jinglong had taken the pill.
"It seems that the champion of this martial arts tournament is not so knowledgeable after all. In the end, he still took my Spirit Essence Pill."
