Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 293 The terror of golden talent!
Three days later.

Lü Yang carefully contemplated the gains he had made from this training.

"Great, it really works!"

"In the past, we tortured people directly for the sake of the cultivation technique, but now it's different. Killing them directly would be too wasteful of resources."

This might even be beneficial for his pursuit of wealth.

"【Pomegranate Wood】is a transformation of wood, pure metal belonging to wood, producing many offspring, and its interior glows brightly, so my cultivation aligns with its fundamental imagery!"

Of course, this is just a coincidence.

Lu Yang chose the pomegranate wood as his target for seeking gold in this life purely for the sake of his spiritual path.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang turned around again.

But Xiuxin Zhenren had already regained consciousness.

As for Yun Miaozhen, she had been watching until just now.

"Okay, everyone, get up."

Lu Yang reached out and pulled Xiu Xin Zhenren up, and the latter offered no resistance.

Then, Lü Yang conjured a wisp of spiritual fire to evaporate and clean up all traces at the scene before nodding in satisfaction at the master and disciple.

"Forget everything that happened between you and me today."

"Also, stop doing what Yun Miaoqing did. From now on, you sisters must work together."

Yun Miaozhen and Xiuxin Zhenren both nodded.

Seeing this, Lü Yang felt a sense of accomplishment. No matter what happened, at least he had done a good deed this time.

'I really am a good person!'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang looked at Xiu Xin Zhenren again: "Tell me about the recent movements of the Sword Pavilion, and whether the Holy Sect has any major plans in Jiangbei."

He needs to confirm the time.

Since Yun Miaoqing has not yet fallen into the hands of the Holy Sect, Lü Yang can only judge that the time of this life's rebirth should not be far from his first anchor point.

'It could even be the same time, just in a different place.'

'After all, judging from Yun Miaozhen's actions, she was already setting a trap to have Yun Miaoqing abducted by the Holy Sect disciples and then turned into a human-shaped manual reading machine.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang heard Xiu Xin Zhenren whisper:

"The Sword Pavilion is currently mobilizing manpower, with preparations made by the Third Elder, [True Man of Demon Slayer], to attack the mass grave and uproot this spectacle."

“Oh?” Lu Yang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Mass graves in Jiangnan!
"If I remember correctly, this mass grave was entered into by the Holy Sect after their victory in the Battle of Seizing the Dao, and was later seized by the Sword Sect."

The loss of the mass grave in Jiangnan directly triggered the Holy Sect's "substitute puppet bubble." As a result, news spread that the Holy Sect's leader, the True Lord, personally took action to reclaim the mass grave and reached a peace agreement with the Sword Pavilion, causing all the Qi Refining disciples to be severely exploited.

At the time, I didn't think much of it.

However, upon closer inspection now, Lü Yang discovered numerous suspicious points. The biggest problem was that the so-called Sect Leader himself had taken action!

'The Holy Sect True Lord marched into Jiangnan to reclaim the mass grave?' 'Impossible!'

'While mass graves are important, they are ultimately just spectacle like those in the Qing Kingdom, merely pawns in a game of chess between Golden Core True Monarchs.'

For the sake of a mere chess piece, would a chess player personally enter the arena?

This is like when Chongguang destroyed the Qing Kingdom, and the Daoist Emperor personally led an expedition to the north—it's simply impossible.

As for deliberately spreading rumors to exploit disciples? That's even more impossible. The Holy Sect's contribution points are specifically prepared for Qi Refining talents and are completely useless to Foundation Establishment cultivators. What's the point of using contribution points to exploit them? At most, it's just a side effect.

unless--

'Did something that even a True Lord coveted emerge from that mass grave? It was just that the Sword Pavilion discovered it first and seized it?'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang's face immediately showed a thoughtful expression.

Considering the final outcome of the Holy Sect and Sword Pavilion choosing to negotiate, neither side should have suffered a loss, and Sword Pavilion may even have gained a slight advantage.

There's a secret behind this!

Lu Yang's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly calmed down. It was definitely impossible for him to go there in person; he had already set his goals for this life.

He needs to develop quietly, and then amaze everyone!

'Hold on, use your Dharma body to gather resources outside, then nurture your immortal body until you reach the peak of Foundation Establishment before emerging into the world, and then directly seek gold!'

For this, he needs a lot of white gloves.

'The talent of the "Puppet Master" is perfect for this. I'll have Xiuxin Zhenren go to the Jiangnan Mass Grave in my place and see what secrets it holds.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang looked at the two women again.

The next second, he clapped his hands and disappeared from the spot, while Xiu Xin Zhenren and Yun Miao Zhen suddenly shuddered.

"hiss--!"

The two women swayed slightly, subconsciously looking themselves over, but didn't sense anything amiss. Their eyes were clear when they looked at each other.

“.Miaozhen”.

After a moment of silence, Master Xiuxin suddenly shook her head: "Let's postpone Miaoqing's matter a little longer. I have already decided to accept the sect's summons."

"We will be heading to the mass grave in Jiangnan soon."

"How about we handle Miaoqing's matter separately after I return?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Miaozhen showed no change in expression and nodded: "Miaozhen understands. Everything will be done according to Master's orders. Miaoqing's matter can be handled at any time."

Xiuxin Zhenren nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Good."

From beginning to end, neither of them noticed anything amiss, and their personalities remained unchanged, yet they still made the decision that Lü Yang wanted.

Hidden in the shadows, Lü Yang nodded in satisfaction upon witnessing this scene.

"Just in case, let's test the waters for a few more days."

"After making sure the [Puppet] is working properly, I'll have Xiuxin Zhenren call all her friends over to set up a nest, and then I'll take control of them one by one."

Although the [Puppet on a String] has a cultivation level limitation, only able to control cultivators with lower cultivation levels, as long as it accumulates slowly, the upper limit of this talent becomes more and more terrifying in the later stages!
