Looking at Jin Ming, who was so actively cooperative, Qin Xuan became suspicious.
This Jin Ming was a bit too proactive.
However, through the slave seal, he could easily perceive Jin Ming’s thoughts.
Jin Ming had no other malicious intentions; at this moment, he was only thinking about how to help his master improve his strength.
After confirming that Jin Ming was not problematic, Qin Xuan motioned for him to lead the way.
Watching Jin Ming leave the cave with immense excitement, Qin Xuan’s eyes still flickered.
It seemed that unless his Divine Soul became stronger and his understanding of this slave seal deepened, this Jin Ming could not be casually sent back.
He did not know if the East Emperor of the Underworld still possessed other methods to remove the slave seal.
After all, everything this Young Lord had came from the East Emperor of the Underworld.
Since it was obtained from him, the East Emperor of the Underworld might have mastered more profound things.
This person must first be kept under control here.
Stepping out of the cave, Qin Xuan looked around and took out the Refining God Cauldron.
“Alright, I’ve prepared everything for you to make the paper effigy. Go inside and make the paper effigy for me first.”
He handed a pile of Materials for making paper effigies to Jin Ming, and then put him into the Refining God Cauldron.
Anyway, they were heading to the vicinity of the capital, so it would not be too late to let Jin Ming lead the way once they arrived near the capital.
As for now, Qin Xuan would not let him lead the way.
Jin Ming obediently entered the Refining God Cauldron without any hesitation.
Then, Qin Xuan put away his things and turned to rush forward.
This time, he still rode a Spirit Beast, using the dense forest as cover.
“Now, I definitely can’t go on the Cloud Boat.”
“Not just the Cloud Boat, I have to be careful of my whereabouts until I reach the capital. There are too many people on their side, and being discovered would be very troublesome.”
The sudden disappearance of Jin Ming, the Young Lord, would make it clear to anyone not foolish that Jin Ming was either killed by Qin Xuan or controlled by him.
Either situation meant that he could not go on the Cloud Boat now.
“Someone must also be watching the capital, so it’s better to go to the Mass Burial Grounds first.”
After pondering, Qin Xuan decided to head to the Mass Burial Grounds, and then controlled the Spirit Beast to rush forward.
A while later, Qin Xuan felt a bit uneasy and still sent a part of his Divine Soul into the Refining God Cauldron to communicate with Jin Ming.
Since there was a Ghost King in the Mass Burial Grounds, the necessary preparations still had to be made.
“By the way, tell me more about the Ghost King’s situation. I want to hear about it and see if there’s anything the Ghost King is afraid of.”
Jin Ming was busy making the effigy. Hearing Qin Xuan’s inquiry, he quickly told Qin Xuan everything he knew.
“Ghost Kings are formed by the mutual slaughter and devouring of Yin Souls. Since they are formed by the mutual devouring of Yin Souls, ultimately, this Ghost King is merely a type of Yin Soul. Things effective against Yin Souls will also be effective against Ghost Kings.”
“It’s just that because the Ghost King’s strength is immense, these methods will be greatly discounted.”
“Things that Yin Souls fear?”
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
He might not have other things, but when it came to countering Yin Souls, he actually had quite a few items in his possession.
“Lightning and fire, these two things are difficult for evil entities to approach. I also have the lightning-struck wood I obtained from the Thunder Beast back then, plus other miscellaneous items. I believe they all have a restraining effect on the Ghost King, but…”
After all, a Ghost King is a Ghost King, so the effectiveness of these restraining items would likely be greatly reduced.
“Spirit Fire should work. When Spirit Fire and lightning techniques are used together, they can deal with and suppress the Ghost King.”
Qin Xuan’s heart stirred. A Ghost King was equivalent to a Shangqing Realm Cultivator. If he could capture the Ghost King’s Yin Soul, it would have many uses.
“Among the Talisman Legacy I obtained earlier, there are many methods for making Talismans using Yin Souls and Divine Souls.”
“Among them, the Spirit-Binding Talisman can be made using powerful Yin Souls…”
Qin Xuan pondered, then suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh.
“I’m truly too greedy, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. The Ghost King’s strength is equivalent to a Shangqing Realm Cultivator, yet I’m still thinking of taking its Yin Soul.”
Shaking his head and casting other distracting thoughts from his mind, Qin Xuan then began to consider how to lure the snake out of its hole, lead the Ghost King away, and then try to seize the Ghost King’s body.
“What is the layout of that Mass Burial Grounds? Where is the Ghost King? How can we lure the Ghost King out of its lair?”
Since Jin Ming had seen the situation with the Ghost King before, it was naturally most suitable for him to formulate a plan to deal with the Ghost King.
“The Ghost King’s lair is naturally that Ten Thousand Corpse Pit. There are countless corpses there, and the Ghost King hides at the very bottom.”
“Normally, it won’t come out of its lair, only when it needs to devour Yin Souls. Therefore, if we can find a way to get some Yin Souls, we might be able to lure the Ghost King out of its lair.”
Luring with Yin Souls?
Qin Xuan’s heart stirred, and an idea came to him.
This was indeed a good method, but the Yin Souls needed to lure out the Ghost King would probably not be simple.
“Only Yin Souls? Does the Ghost King have any other preferred items?”
Qin Xuan said, troubled, as Yin Souls were not easy to obtain.
If he could find some other things, it might work.
“You can try with a Yin Spirit Pill!”
Just then, Han Ye suddenly spoke up out of the blue.
“Yin Spirit Pill? What is that?”
Qin Xuan asked Han Ye curiously.
Han Ye quickly replied to Qin Xuan.
“The so-called Yin Spirit Pill is a Medicinal Pill refined using various dark substances and poisonous herbs. The Pill Formula is not difficult, but it doesn’t have much effect on Cultivators, so most Cultivators simply don’t refine this thing.”
“However, this thing has a significant effect on ghosts. If you can refine Yin Spirit Pills, using them to attract the Ghost King might be a way.”
Han Ye suggested to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan’s heart stirred; Han Ye indeed knew many things.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xuan transmitted a message to Han Ye.
“How is this Medicinal Pill refined? Do you have the Pill Formula?”
If he could get the Pill Formula, he could try to refine some.
Whether it was useful or not, it was always worth a try to refine it.
“I have the Pill Formula. This Yin Spirit Pill was originally refined by a Soul Cultivator and was once famous, but later, most people found that it had little use for Cultivators, so gradually no one refined it anymore.”
“In my time, many people knew the Pill Formula for this Medicinal Pill, but now, only a handful of people know it. I’ll give you the Pill Formula now!”
In an instant, Han Ye transmitted the Pill Formula to Qin Xuan.
“Yin Scorpion, Centipede…”
Looking at the various poisonous substances on the Pill Formula, Qin Xuan was also surprised.
“This thing looks too vicious. No wonder it’s useless for Cultivators. I’m afraid even those Cultivators who specialize in poison cultivation wouldn’t dare to eat this.”
Qin Xuan was extremely surprised. Were there Cultivators who spent all their time researching this kind of Medicinal Pill?
“Of course, later this thing began to be used to feed poisonous insects and Yin Souls.”
