Chapter 517: The Invitation of the Dark Pavilion

A moment later.

The Great Star Envoy walked out of the room with a blushing face and looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Master..."

Wang Jianqiang turned his head to look at her, his gaze pausing on her chest.

After the Great Star Envoy noticed Wang Jianqiang's gaze, her face turned even redder, and she dared not look into Wang Jianqiang's eyes.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shifted his gaze.

With a flip of his palm, he took out a Pill.

"This is the Perfect Pill I promised you."

"This pill is called the Perfect Spirit-Clearing Pill; it can accelerate the refining and absorption of Desolate Source Liquid and increase cultivation speed."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger lightly.

The pill appeared before the Great Star Envoy.

The Great Star Envoy looked pleased and put the pill away.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, and his voice sounded again, "Besides being able to provide you with Perfect Pills, I can also give you Desolate Source Liquid. Do you want it?"

The Great Star Envoy's eyes lit up.

Desolate Source Liquid is extremely difficult to obtain.

She did not have much on her now, and it would soon be used up.

At that time, she would need to find another way to obtain it.

If she could obtain it from Wang Jianqiang, it would naturally be great news for her.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang, "What are the conditions?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Still those seven words, ten drops each time."

Upon hearing this, the Great Star Envoy's expression struggled for a moment, and she shook her head with difficulty.

This bottom line could not be crossed no matter what.

Otherwise.

In the future, she would be completely bound to Wang Jianqiang's side, unable to face the Star Palace that had raised her.

"Unwilling?" Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Since that is the case, I will not make things difficult for you."

"Let's just go by the previous standard."

"One Perfect Spirit-Clearing Pill or one drop of Desolate Source Liquid per time; besides that, if you are willing to show your full face and satisfy my curiosity, I will give you two pills or two drops of Desolate Source Liquid per time."

"If you can agree to my first condition, you can obtain ten pills or ten drops of Desolate Source Liquid per time."

"Thank you, Master. I think I shouldn't need the latter two standards."

The Great Star Envoy looked at Wang Jianqiang and said after a moment of silence.

Although she had rejected Wang Jianqiang's proposal.

She felt not the slightest anger in her heart; on the contrary, a trace of admiration rose within her.

She had now been implanted with a Soul Seal by Wang Jianqiang; if the other party had forced her, she would have had no way out other than suicide.

But Wang Jianqiang had given her the right to choose from beginning to end.

Such a magnanimous act was vastly different from the shameless, despicable villain described by Ye Lingyun.

If it were not for the fact that Wang Jianqiang was destined to be an enemy of the Star Palace, she would even be very willing to befriend him.

"Ding, Great Star Envoy's Good and Evil Value has increased. Current Good and Evil Value: -10."

Hearing the notification sound in his mind, Wang Jianqiang felt a stir.

At the very beginning, the Great Star Envoy's Good and Evil Value toward him was as low as -80.

Now that it had reached -10, it was already a huge improvement.

He smiled calmly, "My promise is valid long-term. You can choose freely between the three standards; of course, that is provided I have the time."

The Great Star Envoy nodded.

Afterward, she did not communicate further with Wang Jianqiang and returned to her room to cultivate.

As for the Perfect Pill, she had only heard of it in legends.

She had never used one before.

At this moment, she was already impatient to test its effects.

After the Great Star Envoy returned to her room.

Wang Jianqiang also returned to his own room.

He took out a Jade Slip.

This Jade Slip was precisely the Feng Family's inherited Secret Technique that Feng Yichen had compensated him with: the Soul Suppressing Seal.

"Ding, a damaged Technique has been discovered. It can be restored to completion by consuming Cultivation Points. Do you wish to restore it?"

As his attention focused on the Jade Slip, the system's notification sound came to his mind once again.

His current Cultivation Points were barely thirty thousand, which was far too distant from the number of one million.

Complete the Soul Suppressing Seal?

He dared not even think about it.

His consciousness went directly into his Soul Sea.

In the Technique column, he found the information for the Soul Suppressing Seal.

"Soul Suppressing Seal: Rumen."

"System, add 100 Cultivation Points to the Soul Suppressing Seal."

"Ding, Soul Suppressing Seal realm increased. Current realm: Room-Entering Level."

"100 Cultivation Points is equivalent to a hundred years of bitter cultivation for me today, just to bring this Secret Technique to the Room-Entering Level?"

"As expected of a heritage technique from a major power."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, no longer testing it bit by bit, and moved his consciousness.

"System, cultivate the Soul Suppressing Seal directly to the Consummation realm."

"Ding, cultivating the Soul Suppressing Seal to the Consummation realm requires 3560 Cultivation Points. Add them?"

"Yes."

"Ding, Cultivation Points added. The Soul Suppressing Seal has been cultivated to the Consummation realm."

As the system prompt sounded once again.

A vast amount of cultivation experience suddenly appeared in his memory, as if he had already cultivated this Soul Suppressing Seal for countless years.

His understanding of this secret Technique naturally reached the highest realm.

He moved his consciousness.

Within the Soul Sea, a massive amount of Soul Power gathered.

It transformed into countless runes.

These runes combined randomly, evolving into Soul Spears, blades, spears, staves, and clubs.

Or they transformed into Big Bells, shields, and various defensive postures.

The entire evolution process was incomparably skillful.

A moment later.

He moved his consciousness.

The countless runes in the Soul Sea dissipated, transforming back into Soul Power.

"This Soul Suppressing Seal is truly unique."

"It is worthy of being called an all-around soul Technique that is top-tier in both offense and defense."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, then a flash of contemplation crossed his eyes.

This Soul Suppressing Seal is not complete; it should not have been possible to cultivate it to the Consummation realm.

This does not match the system prompt...

Could it be...

Is this Soul Suppressing Seal a new Technique created based on an incomplete Technique?

Thinking of this, Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up.

It must be so.

Only in this way can it be explained why this Technique could be cultivated to the Consummation realm despite clearly not being complete.

After figuring it out.

Wang Jianqiang could not help but feel some anticipation in his heart.

The Soul Suppressing Seal created based on an incomplete Technique is already this powerful.

If this incomplete cultivation method were restored to its original state.

I wonder just how formidable this Technique would become?

A moment later.

The joy on Wang Jianqiang's face faded, and he returned to calm.

He consumed a drop of Desolate Source Liquid and swallowed a Perfect Spirit-Clearing Pill.

He closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Time passed in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

During this half year.

Wang Jianqiang did not go out again, except for visiting friends next door once a month.

The rest of the time was spent on cultivation and celebration.

Following Mu Lingxi's breakthrough.

Tushan Youyou, Su Yutong, Wang Yuyao, Yun Xin, and Yang Wanxin—the six women—broke through one after another, reaching the Second-tier Will Level.

Wang Jianqiang treated them all equally.

Whenever someone broke through, he would personally host and hold a celebration party.

During this period, the celebrations alone took up nearly two months.

Otherwise, the time for the women's cultivation breakthroughs could have been even earlier.

Wang Jianqiang's explanation for this was very simple.

Cultivation is not just about bitter training.

Occasional relaxation is not only beneficial to physical and mental health, but can also improve cultivation efficiency.

As the saying goes, sharpening the axe does not delay the work of cutting wood.

That is roughly what it means.

The women also fully agreed with Wang Jianqiang's point of view.

After watching with his own eyes as the women truly broke through one after another just as he had thought, each surpassing him.

The Star Envoy's state of mind, however, could no longer remain calm.
