Chapter 402: The Secret Plan

"What secret?"

Hearing Song Qiuyue's words, Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

Song Qiuyue pondered for a moment, then flipped her palm.

She took out a Jade Slip.

"This item is...?"

Seeing Song Qiuyue suddenly take out a Jade Slip, and connecting it to her previous words.

Wang Jianqiang had a faint guess in his heart.

"This was given to me by my master before she was murdered."

Song Qiuyue looked at the Jade Slip in her hand and said in a deep voice, "When she gave this to me at the time, she only urged me to keep it safe, not to let anyone see it, and that once I broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, I would naturally be able to view it."

"Originally, I only thought that inside the Jade Slip was some powerful cultivation technique, but now that I think about it, what is hidden inside this Jade Slip is likely the secret my master obtained."

"The important information that made the Palace Master go to the lengths of harming my master, wiping out my master's friends, and secretly harming me."

Hearing Song Qiuyue's words, Wang Jianqiang's eyes immediately lit up.

Sensing the urgency in Wang Jianqiang's expression, Song Qiuyue did not hesitate; she raised her hand and tossed the Jade Slip toward Wang Jianqiang, "I cannot view this item; you take a look."

Wang Jianqiang took the Jade Slip, and his Spirit Sense surged into it.

Immediately afterward, he encountered a layer of Restriction.

However, this layer of Restriction was not strong; its power barely reached the threshold of the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Wang Jianqiang was now a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, and the strength of his Spirit Sense far exceeded those of the same level.

Facing him, this layer of Restriction was like paper, shattering instantly.

Immediately following.

The information within the Jade Slip appeared in his mind.

"So that's how it is~"

After reading the information in the Jade Slip, Wang Jianqiang's gaze flickered.

His expression instantly became grave.

"How is it?"

"Does the information in the Jade Slip concern the secret of the Palace Master and the envoy?"

Sensing Wang Jianqiang's expression, Song Qiuyue could not help but ask.

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "Indeed."

The main information described in the Jade Slip was only one thing, and that was the Blood Puppet Plan.

The so-called Blood Puppet Plan, as the name suggests, is the refining of Blood Puppets.

Using the massive amounts of essence blood from cultivators as a catalyst, and the living physical bodies of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators as carriers, they are refined into puppets.

Once refined, the strength of a Blood Puppet is enough to rival a cultivator who has Manifested Will.

This plan had already begun three years ago, after the failed attack on the three sects.

It was just that it had been in the preliminary preparation stage.

It was not until a year ago that preparations were completed and the collection of essence blood began.

The reason Xuanqing Palace was recruiting rogue cultivators on such a large scale was precisely to turn them into a part of the Blood Sea.

In this way.

The matter of distributing pills to rogue cultivators that increased cultivation speed at the cost of lifespan could also be explained clearly.

What Xuanqing Palace needed was not the living rogue cultivators.

But the blood of the rogue cultivators.

The stronger the cultivator, the stronger the power of their essence blood naturally is.

And the greater its utility to the Blood Puppet Plan.

As for the carriers.

They are all the Earth Pavilion Elders within Xuanqing Palace, as well as the Supreme Elders who have not Manifested Will!

That is to say.

All Nascent Soul cultivators who have not Manifested Will will be refined into puppets without the slightest bit of independent consciousness!

After accidentally learning this news.

Song Qiuyue's master knew that her movements could not be hidden from the Palace Master and the envoy, and that she would soon be discovered.

So she immediately found Song Qiuyue.

She did not dare to tell Song Qiuyue this news; doing so would only make Song Qiuyue show signs of abnormality and die faster.

She only turned the information into a Jade Slip and secretly handed it to her.

Afterward, she fled the sect, creating the illusion that she had fled the moment she learned the news.

At the same time, she also held a glimmer of hope.

It was a pity.

Not long after she left.

The Xuanqing Palace Master and the envoy, who had stopped their conversation, soon noticed the aura she left behind.

They pursued and killed her out of the sect.

In the end, she could not escape.

And the caution of the Xuanqing Palace Master and the envoy also exceeded the expectations of Song Qiuyue's master.

After she died.

The Xuanqing Palace Master not only assassinated the several Supreme Elders who were on good terms with her.

He even tricked Song Qiuyue into leaving the sect, attempting to slaughter her as well.

Fortunately, because Song Qiuyue did not know the news and did not reveal the slightest abnormality, the Xuanqing Palace Master relaxed his vigilance somewhat.

Only then, after confirming that Song Qiuyue could not be killed immediately, did he not continue to send experts as reinforcements.

Of course.

The fact that Song Qiuyue's cultivation was relatively weak and she was destined to be unable to escape an ambush by a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator also accounted for part of the reason.

When Wang Jianqiang told Song Qiuyue all the information in the Jade Slip and the deductions he had made based on that information.

Song Qiuyue could not help but reveal a look of horror.

Blood-sacrificing thousands of rogue cultivators, and even some disciples within the sect, to refine the sect's Nascent Soul Stage experts into Blood Puppets!

The Palace Master is simply insane!

At the same time.

Wang Jianqiang also felt a faint sense of worry in his heart.

Once the Blood Puppet Plan succeeds.

The number of experts at the Will Stage within Xuanqing Palace will skyrocket.

Although the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Array is strong.

There is no guarantee that that mysterious force does not have a powerful combined attack formation.

Once a large number of cultivators at the Will Stage gather, coordinated with a powerful combined attack formation.

The Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Array might not be able to hold out.

"I must find a way to sabotage this plan."

Wang Jianqiang frowned, secretly pondering in his heart.

Puchi~

Just as Wang Jianqiang was deep in thought.

Song Qiuyue suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Wang Jianqiang came back to his senses, looked at Song Qiuyue, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Song Qiuyue shook her head and revealed a bitter smile, "I refined too many Low-grade Spirit Stones and never had time to remove the impurities within the Spiritual Power; now that the impurities have accumulated too much in my body, my foundation has been severely polluted."

"I fear my cultivation will never make another inch of progress in this life."

"However, my life is not in danger."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Elder Song, that is where you are wrong; if the foundation is polluted, one simply needs to purify it."

"Purify the foundation?"

Song Qiuyue gave a bitter smile, "How precious are the medicines that can purify a foundation? Let alone the tiny Northern Territory, I fear that not even the entire Tianhuo Domain possesses such divine medicine."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "If the Tianhuo Domain doesn't have it, the Chiyan World might; even if the Chiyan World doesn't, what about the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Song Qiuyue was stunned, and the bitter smile on her face grew even deeper, "Even if one could find it, so what? Such treasures, let alone a small Golden Core Stage cultivator like me, I fear even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators are not qualified to come into contact with them."

"Ordinary Nascent Soul Stage cultivators naturally find it difficult to come into contact with them, but I, Wang, have already joined the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, so it is not impossible that I might have a chance to come into contact with such treasures." Wang Jianqiang smiled faintly.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Song Qiuyue could not help but widen her eyes.

Wang Jianqiang actually joined the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace?

She was stunned for a long while before finally coming back to her senses.

Immediately after, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang with a face full of anticipation, "Does Daoist Friend Wang have a way?"

Wang Jianqiang pondered for a moment and said, "I will not hide it from you, Fairy; I not only passed the Immortal Palace Assessment, but I also passed as the top student specializing in the Dao of Alchemy."

Song Qiuyue was startled, and the look of hope in her eyes grew even stronger.

"My talent in the Dao of Alchemy is supreme, and I am highly valued by the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, so I have obtained the qualification to make a request to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Palace Master; as long as it is an item possessed within the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, I can ask for it."

"If the request I make to the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace is for a treasure or Technique to purify the foundation, as long as the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace possesses it, they will certainly not refuse."

Upon hearing this.

A look of excitement immediately appeared on her face.
