Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 295 The Secret of the Mass Grave
Ever since the plan to join the Sword Pavilion was set, the Yun family patriarch has been a key target that Lü Yang was determined to completely control using the [puppet] technique.

the reason is simple.

Despite the Yun family's current decline and the fact that their ancestor was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, the Yun family has a considerable background and its ancestors were once very wealthy.

Because the Yun family once produced a leader of the Sword Pavilion, a Golden Core True Monarch, but that Golden Core True Monarch perished in a great calamity of a thousand years. His opponent was a Golden Core True Monarch in the middle stage of the Holy Sect, whose cultivation was profound. As a result, not only was his cave heaven destroyed, but even his soul was unable to escape.

After that, the Yun family declined.

Passing down to the generation of the Yun family patriarch, they were completely reduced to the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, and even now, their position as a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan is not secure.

But no matter what, there is still a sense of kinship between people.

A former direct descendant of a Golden Core True Monarch, such a background might go unnoticed in the Holy Sect, but in the Sword Pavilion, it's a huge advantage.

At least the Yun family patriarch was qualified to meet the sect leader!
The Sword Pavilion is different from the Holy Sect. The Holy Sect's True Lords are in seclusion year-round, and the affairs are usually handled by their Grand True Men, such as Chongguang, who acts as the sect leader.

However, the Sword Pavilion was personally managed by the True Lord.

However, the Yun family patriarch, who was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, was able to meet a True Lord. Lü Yang did not believe that this was not due to the legacy of the deceased Yun family True Lord.

"Back in my previous lives, I sensed something was amiss when the Yun family patriarch was able to reincarnate into the Refining Realm with a supreme celestial treasure like the [Heavenly Instrument]."

At first, I didn't notice, but the more I thought about it, the stranger it seemed. There were so many Foundation Establishment cultivators who wanted to reincarnate, so why choose someone as weak as the Yun family patriarch? And he was even given the [Heavenly Inquiry Instrument], a rare treasure. Without it, the Yun family patriarch would almost certainly have succeeded. This was practically a free favor.

It is clear that although the Yun family patriarch may not be strong, he definitely has connections.

This is exactly what Lü Yang needs in this life.

Several days later, accompanied by a loud bang in the sky, a streak of light flew over and landed steadily above Hidden Sword Manor.

Soon, the beams of light separated.

The white-haired and aged patriarch of the Yun family stepped out, his divine sense locking onto Yun Miaozhen almost immediately. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was unharmed.

"I've met my ancestor."

Yun Miaozhen stepped forward respectfully and bowed, then took out a pill: "This is the longevity pill that I found this time. Please accept it, Ancestor."

Upon seeing this, the Yun family patriarch was greatly pleased: "Miaozhen is very thoughtful."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the pill. Seeing Yun Miaozhen looking at him expectantly, he simply tilted his head back and swallowed the pill.

Although the so-called longevity pill was actually useless to him, it was Yun Miaozhen's filial piety after all, and the Yun family patriarch didn't want to embarrass her. After taking the pill, he continued, "What about the demonic path you mentioned in your letter? Has True Person Xiuxin captured it?"

"They have been captured."

Yun Miaozhen nodded: "Master fought a great battle with him, and I couldn't get involved at all. Now that demon has been firmly suppressed by Master."

"That's good."

Upon hearing this, the Yun family patriarch breathed a sigh of relief. Xiu Xin Zhenren's cultivation level was similar to his, and if she could handle it, it meant that he should be fine too.

"Then take me there quickly."

"This way, please, Ancestor."

Yun Miaozhen led the Yun family patriarch to a quiet room. Pushing open the door, the Yun family patriarch stepped into the quiet room and immediately froze on the spot.

But then they found themselves in a quiet room.

A young man dressed in a black robe stood intently in front of a desk, on which a sheet of yellow paper was spread out, and he was sketching something with his finger as a pen.

Meanwhile, Master Xiuxin stood silently to the side, spewing out a ball of raging fire that melted many Geng metal spiritual objects into a ball of dazzling golden spiritual ink. Lü Yang casually stirred it and then drew it stroke by stroke onto the yellow paper on the table, finally transforming it into a sharp talisman shaped like a long sword.

"Clang clang." The moment the talisman was completed, the originally soft and thin talisman paper instantly emitted a sound like the clang of metal, revealing a sword aura that shocked even the Yun family patriarch.

"It's finally done!"

Seeing this, Lü Yang nodded in satisfaction. After the restart, things were finally not as urgent as in his previous life, and he was able to enjoy a life of grinding ink with his bare hands and having a beautiful woman add fragrance to his life.

Therefore, he picked up the talisman techniques that he had previously abandoned because he didn't have time to study them.

This [Yuan Tu Treasure Talisman] is the result of his research over the past few days. It is a talisman that reproduces the wondrous sword energy of the [Tribulation Wave].

Besides Lü Yang's own mastery of talisman techniques, he also relied heavily on his innate divine ability [Master of Weapons and Transformation], which he possessed as a Geng Metal Immortal Spirit in this life. This divine ability can transform all things and is of great help in alchemy, talisman making, and even weapon forging.

"Unfortunately, my extraordinary wisdom cannot be put to use for the time being."

"This [Yuan Tu Treasure Talisman] took me a lot of time to create, but the finished product only has one-tenth of the sword power of the [Tribulation Wave], which is at most enough to deal with the early Foundation Establishment stage."

Of course, talismans are not about quality.

Quantity is king!

'The spirits within the Myriad Spirits Banner suffered heavy losses in their previous life; it's a good time to recruit a new batch of people from Skull Mountain and then restart the industrial production line of talismans.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang finally raised his head.

Only then did the Yun family patriarch, who had been standing stiffly in place since entering the room and was almost unable to move, finally regain the ability to move.

"How can it be!"

The Yun family patriarch's pupils constricted, and he clutched his stomach, feeling as if the longevity pill he had just swallowed had become a poison that was now controlling him!

'Why!?'

The patriarch of the Yun family turned to look at Yun Miaozhen, unable to believe that his most trusted family disciple would one day choose to poison him!
However, Yun Miaozhen didn't even glance at him. Instead, she carefully approached the desk, leaned down gracefully, and then crawled under the desk, preparing to receive her reward. This had nothing to do with anything else; it was purely for cultivation, to have Lü Yang help her quickly break through her bottleneck.

'A demon! This person is absolutely a demon!!!'

For a moment, the Yun family patriarch could hardly believe his eyes, and at the same time, he was even more certain in his heart: the one who could do such a thing must be a demon!

However, he could not escape.

The [Heavenly All-Encompassing Dharma Body] appeared behind Lü Yang, its aura far surpassing that of the early Foundation Establishment stage, causing the Yun family patriarch to curse inwardly:

'He clearly possesses such cultivation, yet he plotted against me and even poisoned me, you beast!'

The result is no suspense.

The Yun family patriarch was directly suppressed by Lü Yang, and then a [puppet] was placed on top of him. Soon, the resentment on his face turned into loyalty.

"Unfortunately, Xin'an is no longer here."

Lu Yang shook his head. Chen Xin'an's true spirit was still sleeping inside the Myriad Spirits Banner. Judging from the current situation, it would probably take at least ten or eight years for him to recover.

Since he couldn't search the soul, Lü Yang could only get straight to the point and ask:

How much do you know about the inside story of the mass graves in Jiangnan?

To Lü Yang's surprise, as soon as he said this, the Yun family patriarch was taken aback, and then nodded and said, "Reporting to Master, this subordinate knows everything."

Knows everything!?

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang's eyes lit up slightly. It seemed that he had indeed chosen the right person. With the Yun family patriarch's connections in the Sword Pavilion, he actually knew the inside story!
Immediately afterward, the Yun family patriarch said in a deep voice, "I am good friends with one of the disciples of the Demon-Slaying True Man. He once mentioned to me that traces of a Great Realm Heaven with a Fruit-level status have been discovered near the mass grave in Jiangnan. If we can seize it, it will be of great use to our Sword Pavilion!"
