“Come here!”
Qin Xuan pointed forward, and Jin Ming immediately scurried over obsequiously, bowing and scraping to Qin Xuan.
After the slave seal was planted, he had completely submitted.
“Do you know how to refine substitute paper figures? Do you know how to refine corpse puppets?”
Qin Xuan needed an assistant to help him with these tasks.
“Of course, Master, I was originally meant for these things.”
Jin Ming humbly bowed to Qin Xuan.
“Good, then from today onwards, you will be responsible for refining corpse puppets and substitute paper figures. In the future, you might be needed for even more things.”
Jin Ming merely bowed humbly, without any sign of resistance.
“This thing is really good! Slave seals, only a Cultivator proficient in the Dao of souls could have conceived this, right?”
Tugging at his hair, Qin Xuan was deep in thought.
“After so many years, it’s truly rare to see so many Soul Cultivators appear again.”
Han Ye suddenly spoke.
“Were Soul Cultivators rare before?”
Qin Xuan asked Han Lao, puzzled.
“More than rare, they were practically extinct. In my time, I rarely saw Soul Cultivators. Back then, Soul Cultivators were like rats in a sewer, they simply wouldn't appear.”
“Not only that, but the reputation of Soul Cultivators at that time was very poor. In fact, Soul Cultivators were targets for everyone.”
Han Ye said, clearly showing his aversion to Soul Cultivators like Jin Ming.
“How could that be? Isn’t Soul Cultivation also a method of cultivation?”
Qin Xuan didn’t understand. Soul Cultivators merely focused on cultivating the Dao of souls, which shouldn't be a big deal.
“It’s not that simple. Soul Cultivators obtain Physical Bodies by Possessing others. Whenever their previous Physical Body and their Divine Soul become incompatible, they will try to seize the Physical Body of others. In short, they are not a good thing.”
“Furthermore, they dig up graves. Many Family ancestral graves have been dug up by these people. Moreover, according to rumors, Soul Cultivators have connections and interactions with a certain great terror that once appeared.”
Han Ye said, his words full of vigilance towards Soul Cultivators.
Qin Xuan also nodded slightly.
In fact, even without Han Ye saying anything, he was already very wary of these Soul Cultivators.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that Soul Cultivators could freely change Physical Bodies made him very cautious.
Imagine, your opponent can freely change Physical Bodies and even turn around and Possess your body. No matter how you think about it, these people are quite troublesome.
However, if Qin Xuan himself was a Soul Cultivator, then none of these would be problems.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan smiled and nodded.
“No matter, it’s not a big problem. I now have a way to deal with Soul Cultivators. These are nothing.”
“What’s more, the Divine Souls of these Soul Cultivators are a great tonic for my Divine Soul!”
Although it didn't sound very pleasant, Qin Xuan could indeed improve his Divine Soul by devouring the Divine Souls of these Soul Cultivators.
“I wonder how these Soul Cultivators appeared. If I can absorb a few more Divine Souls, perhaps my Divine Soul Sea of Consciousness can advance further?”
Qin Xuan pondered, becoming more and more certain in his heart.
After a while, Qin Xuan exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi and looked at Jin Ming beside him.
“Master, I can make these substitute paper figures, but corpse puppets are a bit troublesome.”
Jin Ming said to Qin Xuan.
“What’s the problem with corpse puppets?”
Qin Xuan frowned, a little confused.
“Refining corpse puppets requires the Physical Body of a strong Cultivator. Powerful cultivation or a strong physique will do, but we don’t have suitable corpses here right now!”
Corpses!
Hearing this, Qin Xuan’s heart stirred, and he nodded.
“Indeed, we are lacking some suitable physiques. If we had these physiques, we could completely refine suitable corpse puppets.”
It was just that suitable corpses were indeed somewhat difficult to obtain.
Putting everything else aside, choosing suitable corpses was truly not a simple matter.
“The corpse puppets I can refine now can only be of the Yuqing Realm. Higher Rank corpse puppets are difficult to control, but if I can get Shangqing Realm corpses, I can also keep them. When my Divine Soul and strength are stronger, I can completely refine more powerful corpse puppets.”
“I just don’t know where to get corpses?”
This Jin Ming could indeed refine corpse puppets, which meant that as long as he could get suitable corpses here, it would be fine.
Just as Qin Xuan was pondering where to get corpses, Jin Ming suddenly spoke.
“Master, I do know a place with suitable corpses. A month ago, I searched there, and it’s very suitable for refining corpse puppets. Even if not for refining corpse puppets, it can be used as your backup Physical Body, Master.”
Backup Physical Body?
Qin Xuan nodded with pleasant surprise.
He hadn't thought about a backup Physical Body, but if it was good for refining corpse puppets, then it was definitely necessary to get his hands on it.
“Where is it? And how did you find it?”
Seeing Qin Xuan so excited, Jin Ming happily spoke.
“It’s a cemetery, it should be the ancestral tomb of a certain aristocratic Family.”
The ancestral tomb of a certain large Family?
Hearing this, Qin Xuan felt a little deflated.
On one hand, although he had dug up the Liu Family’s ancestral grave, it was a matter of seeking revenge for past grievances at that time.
But he had no enmity with this Family, and digging up their ancestral grave under such circumstances seemed a bit unreasonable.
What’s more, how could these Families willingly let him dig up their ancestral graves?
At that time, they might have to fight these people again.
Qin Xuan really didn't want to get involved in such things.
Frowning, Qin Xuan shook his head.
“Is Master worried about being targeted by other Families? Please rest assured, Master, that Family is already in decline and is a small Family. Master doesn’t need to worry, even if we dig up their ancestral grave, it’ll be fine.”
Jin Ming kept trying to persuade him, and it was clear that he really wanted to refine corpse puppets for Qin Xuan.
“Forget it, let’s not dig such graves. Although the descendants’ foundation is weak, it’s not easy for them to hold onto their small plot of land. Let’s not dig it.”
Although Qin Xuan was ruthless, he was not a wanton killer without principles.
Under normal circumstances, if people didn't provoke him, he wouldn't bother them.
If others don't offend me, I won't offend them. If others offend me, I will repay them twofold.
This was Qin Xuan’s creed.
“Master is unwilling to dig up this Family’s ancestral grave, which shows his benevolence.”
Jin Ming flattered him.
“Besides this place, are there any other places where I can refine corpse puppets?”
Qin Xuan asked indifferently.
Besides digging up ancestral graves, there must be other methods.
“There is another place, but it’s a bit dangerous…”
Hearing Qin Xuan’s question, Jin Ming thought for a moment and then spoke.
Another place?
Qin Xuan was a little surprised and quickly asked the other party.
“That place isn’t too far from the Great Qian Capital, but the Yin Qi is very heavy. There’s a large area of graves there.”
“Strictly speaking, it’s not graves, but just a lot of corpses buried there.”
