Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master-Chapter 1257 - 486: Illusion True Pill Demon

Nascent Soul Level soul!

Upon seeing this, Sun Lingtong felt somewhat surprised.

Nascent Soul Level cultivators are typically the leaders or pillars of a faction. For example, the White Paper City Lord and the Immortal City Lord of Fire Persimmon are at the Nascent Soul Level.

Above Nascent Soul is Transforming Spirit Level, those who generally remain hidden and rarely act. When they do act, it must cause waves and have a wide impact, like the Lord of Wangchuan.

The gray-robed cultivator’s face regained a bit of life: "Obtaining his soul is not easy."

"Does Elder Sun know of the ’Illusion True Pill Demon’?"

Sun Lingtong hadn’t heard of it. He was not from the Feiyun Kingdom, and to avoid revealing his background, he nodded lightly: "I’ve heard a little."

Then he pointed at the pottery jar: "Inside is his soul?"

The gray-robed cultivator sighed lightly: "Just a residual soul."

The Illusion True Pill Demon had been imprisoned in the Evil Slaying Hall for too long and had just barely held onto life for a long time. Recently, he completely perished, and the gray-robed cultivator spent a great effort to obtain his residual soul.

Sun Lingtong nodded again: "Even though it’s a residual soul, it’s still a Nascent Soul. I’ll take it! Good, hope you have higher-quality Nascent Soul demon souls next time."

The gray-robed cultivator, who had already learned a profound lesson, was suddenly startled and quickly waved his hands, urgently using divine sense to communicate: "Elder Sun, Nascent Soul Level demon souls are rare indeed. I can’t guarantee I will have them every time! No, maybe only once in ten times."

Sun Lingtong chuckled, patting the gray-robed cultivator’s shoulder, comforting him: "No need to be so nervous, I’m not here to eat people."

The gray-robed cultivator, comforted like this, was even more nervous.

"Alright. This transaction ends here." Sun Lingtong packed up all the demon souls, completed the delivery, and then calmly left.

Bluestone Cave Mansion.

Seeing the transaction completed, Ning Zhuo withdrew most of his attention from Sun Lingtong.

He touched the cave mansion jade token, activated the formation, and conveyed the message: "Chef, please make a trip to the Trade Hall entrance..."

Ning Zhuo also didn’t know the intelligence on the Illusion True Pill Demon and immediately set about having Chef go out to buy it.

Of course, he wouldn’t buy just one specific piece of intelligence, but rather broadly acquire a batch to prevent this action from becoming a clear clue.

Sun Lingtong concealed his presence and quickly returned to the Bluestone Cave Mansion, delivering the cultivation resources he purchased to Ning Zhuo.

"It’s a pity this Illusion True Pill Demon is just a residual soul, he should specialize in alchemy. If among this batch of demon cultivator souls, there was someone skilled in formations, it would be perfect." Sun Lingtong was focused on the matter of breaking the water formation to obtain the Luoshu.

After a series of efforts and research, he was now only a step away.

Ning Zhuo smiled wryly: "Based on my previous two experiences, it’s a bit risky. This time, the most outstanding quality demon soul is definitely the Nascent Soul residual soul, but excluding him, the average cultivation level is actually lower than the previous two times."

Talking of it, demon cultivators, compared to the Righteous Path, invest significantly less energy and time in the cultivation hundred skills.

Demon cultivators excel in murder and arson.

Cultivation hundred skills are often used for management.

Sun Lingtong sighed: "Then let’s look at the line of the Inheriting Dao Jade Page."

"Wen Ruanyu is indeed reliable, quite capable of handling things."

"I am now looking forward to the day your identity is exposed, Little Zhuo."

Ning Zhuo nodded, understanding Sun Lingtong’s underlying meaning.

Being Meng Yaoyin’s son, and with the secret identity of the Deputy City Lord of White Paper Immortal City, once exposed, Ning Zhuo would inevitably be caught in a gigantic vortex.

Previously, Wen Ruanyu had been shielding Ning Zhuo precisely to worry that if exposed, Ning Zhuo might lose his freedom or even his life. After all, the interests involved were enormous.

This moment differs from that moment.

Ning Zhuo now stands out, outperforming Ban Ji, Gu Qing, and others, earning admiration from the Confucian cultivator group and Evil Slaying Hall Master Zhong Dao, and has become notorious in the Wanxiang Sect’s Main Mountain Gate.

To take action against Ning Zhuo now, the cost is too high, and the risk compared to when he was obscure is hundreds of times greater.

Now, if Ning Zhuo’s identity is exposed, his situation won’t be as passive as before.

In fact, if handled well, it might even become an opportunity for Ning Zhuo’s resurgence! At the very least, more factions would extend an olive branch than currently.

Right now, everyone knows Ning Zhuo walks the Righteous Path, capable of emitting astonishing Vast Energy, and deeply admired by Zhong Dao, almost certain to become a member of the Evil Slaying Hall in the future.

Therefore, although some factions and sects have faith in Ning Zhuo’s bright future, they also harbour concerns, refusing private contact with Ning Zhuo.

After all, Zhong Dao holds real power in the Evil Slaying Hall, and his cultivation level and qualifications are stronger than some of the Peak Masters of the Eight Great Peaks.

Ning Zhuo publicly returned the [White Rainbow Righteousness Festival] as a scheme to improve his position.

The young man pondered: "Revealing my identity now should be safe, but actually still lacks a bit of timing."

Sun Lingtong giggled: "In this aspect, you are much stronger than me, handle it well. Not chatting anymore, I’m heading to Shuyu Pavilion to further ponder over the matter of the Luoshu."

"Quickly absorb these demon souls to see if there’s any gain in formation."

"Also, the Inheriting Dao Jade Page, see if others can do it? Right now, spending more money is no problem."

That said, waved farewell.

Ning Zhuo nodded: "Mm-hmm. I’ve already had Gongsun Yan go and discuss the Inheriting Dao Jade Page’s matter."

The two parted ways.

Ning Zhuo opened the pottery jar and began absorbing the demon soul experiences.

Elsewhere.

Gongsun Yan visited a certain cave mansion, carrying modest gifts for a visit, receiving the cave mansion owner’s reception.

Xiao Juxia stroked his beard: "You are Daoist Fellow Ning Zhuo’s retainer, this time wanting to order the Inheriting Dao Jade Page? I competed alongside Daoist Fellow Ning Zhuo, but at that time I failed, witnessing with my own eyes Daoist Fellow Ning Zhuo winning the championship, truly remarkable."
