“If you rush too much in cultivation, you will gain less than you lose.” Yang Kai smiled slightly. He also saw Hua Qingsi’s eagerness.

“I know this truth well, but if you were in my position, you would understand my feelings.” Hua Qingsi sighed and waved her hand. “Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Where is this place and why did you call me out?”

“This is Thousand Leaves Sect.”

“Thousand Leaves Sect?” Hua Qingsi’s fine eyebrows raised, and after thinking for a while, she said, “Do you mean the Thousand Leaves Sect famous for its puppet technique?”

“Sister Hua knows about this sect?” Yang Kai asked in surprise.

Hua Qingsi said, “Although Thousand Leaves Sect is not a first-class sect, it is still somewhat famous in the Southern Region. How could I not have heard of it? I was quite interested in their puppet technique before and studied it for a while. But unfortunately, I heard that their inheritance has been broken and they have declined for countless years. Now even the remaining puppets in the sect cannot be driven.”

“That’s true.” Yang Kai immediately knew that Hua Qingsi really knew a lot about Thousand Leaves Sect when he heard this.

“What are you doing in Thousand Leaves Sect? Do you also covet their puppet technique?” Hua Qingsi asked curiously.

“I was entrusted by someone to come and help.” Yang Kai smiled slightly and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Hua Qingsi listened in surprise: “There is an independent secret realm in Thousand Leaves Sect? This is the first time I’ve heard of it. No wonder Thousand Leaves Sect has declined. If the entrance to the secret realm is sealed, it is very possible. With your supernatural powers, it should not be difficult to repair that entrance.”

“Do my best.” Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders.

Hua Qingsi suddenly smiled strangely and said, “Young Master Yang, if you can find the inheritance of Qianye Sect in that secret realm, can you make a copy and let me take a look?”

“This doesn’t seem so good…” Yang Kai looked at her sideways. “After all, it’s their inheritance. What do you mean by secretly observing and comprehending it?”

Hua Qingsi pouted and said, “It’s as if you’re not interested either. Whether you make a copy or not, anyway, I’m going to promote to Emperor Venerable soon. I don’t have the time to comprehend those things now.”

Yang Kai chuckled and said, “I’m giving it a try.”

Hua Qingsi said, “That’s more like it. I heard that the puppets of Qianye Sect are divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Now the people of Qianye Sect can only control puppets below the Profound grade. The methods of driving Earth-grade and above puppets have long been lost.”

“That’s right. On this main peak, there are more than thirty Earth-grade puppets, but Ye Hen and the others simply can’t drive them. It seems that there are also quite a few Heaven-grade puppets.” Yang Kai had a sighing expression on his face. Remembering the strange small mountain peaks he had seen before, there was a shock deep in his heart.

Hua Qingsi pursed her lips and smiled, saying, “Then do you know that above the Heaven-grade puppets, there is also a kind of Spiritual-grade puppet?”

Yang Kai widened his eyes and said in surprise, “Spiritual-grade puppet?”

Hua Qingsi nodded and said, “Whether this kind of puppet really exists or not, I don’t know either. I just saw the information from some ancient books in the Star God Palace. The records are not comprehensive. You also know that the Star God Palace has a big family and a great cause, and it has some research on the secret techniques of various sects in the Southern Region and even the entire Star Boundary.”

“Speak and listen.” Yang Kai suddenly became interested.

Hua Qingsi said solemnly, “The Heavenly Rank puppets of the Thousand Leaves Sect. Each one can display the combat power of a strong person in the Emperor Venerable Realm. If it is the most Heavenly Rank puppet it is even no less than that of a Third-Order Emperor Venerable. This is the reason why they were able to become a top sect in the Southern Region back then. And that Spiritual Rank puppet… seems to have already possessed spirituality, can think independently, have its own wisdom, and can also practice various cultivation techniques and secret techniques to continuously improve its strength, just like… just like your big rock!

What she was referring to was naturally the Dharma Body.

Yang Kai was shocked. He looked at Hua Qingsi with a dumbfounded expression.

The reason why a puppet is called a puppet is because it has no wisdom and will only act under the drive of others. If it can think independently and have wisdom, and even can improve its strength through cultivation, then what is it called a puppet? That is clearly the right that only living beings have.

Hua Qingsi chuckled lightly and said, “I don’t know if it’s true or not. Anyway, that’s what it’s recorded in the ancient books. Although the Thousand Leaves Sect was famous for its puppet techniques back then, there didn’t seem to be many spiritual-level puppets, and no one knows where these spiritual-level puppets went.”

Yang Kai remained silent for a long time.

The birth of spiritual wisdom in puppets seems rather unbelievable at first hearing. But upon closer thought, it’s not entirely impossible. The world is vast and there are countless strange things. Even Liuyan is an artifact spirit that has taken on a form. Why can’t a puppet give birth to spiritual wisdom?

It’s just that there are really too many opportunities needed in the middle.

“By the way, why did you call me out? If there’s nothing else, I’m going back to cultivate.” Hua Qingsi couldn’t help but ask when she saw Yang Kai in a daze for a long time.

Yang Kai came back to his senses and said, “Sister Hua, don’t go back for the time being. I need you to help me with something.”

“What?”

“On my way to the Thousand Leaves Sect this time, I found a few old acquaintances. But the deputy sect master of the Thousand Leaves Sect doesn’t seem to have a very good impression of us. I’m afraid that if I’m not around, that old guy will do them harm.”

He needs to repair the spatial array for the Thousand Leaves Sect. If there is a chance he also wants to enter that secret realm to take a look and see if he can encounter any opportunities. Naturally, he can’t always accompany Chi Yue and the others.

Chi Yue and the others all only had the first level of the Dao Source Realm, while Shi Cangying was at the third level of the Dao Source Realm. The difference in cultivation was not small. If Shi Cangying were to strike secretly when he wasn’t around, Chi Yue and the others would definitely have no ability to resist.

Calling out Hua Qingsi was to secretly protect Chi Yue and them.

After telling Hua Qingsi his thoughts, she readily agreed and said, “This is no problem. Young Master Yang, you just take care of your own matters. It’s just a third-level Dao Source Realm cultivator. If he really wants to seek his own death, I don’t mind sending him on his way.”

As she spoke, the cold light in her eyes was overflowing. Obviously, she was annoyed that because of this guy’s reason, her cultivation was delayed and her mood was very bad.

Although Hua Qingsi and Shi Cangying had the same cultivation realm, their backgrounds were different. Shi Cangying was just the vice-master of the Thousand Leaves Sect. How could the cultivation techniques and secret arts he cultivated be compared with those of Hua Qingsi from the Star God Palace?

If the two were really to engage in a life-and-death struggle, Shi Cangying simply had no possibility of winning.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Sister Hua.” Yang Kai grinned and smiled.

Hua Qingsi gave Yang Kai a coquettish look and said Youyou: “Ever since I handed over the soul brand to you, Sister Hua has already accepted her fate. I just hope that you can be better to Sister Hua in the future and not beat, scold, or rebuke me at will. Sister Hua will be content.”

When she spoke of her feelings, she even reached out and wiped the corner of her eye, looking like a woman who would follow her husband no matter what.

Yang Kai had a cold sweat on his face. He wiped his forehead and said, “Sister Hua, you must never talk to me like this in front of thatDemon Race woman, otherwise I’m dead.”

Hua Qingsi’s face was full of resentment. She pursed her red lips and said, “Young Master Yang, with Sister Hua and Ruo Xi Liuyan, aren’t you satisfied? Why do you still have to provoke other women? In what way are we sisters inferior to others?”

Yang Kai’s forehead was covered in a waterfall of cold sweat. He said with a forced smile, “Stop playing, or else I’ll beat you.”

Hua Qingsi then giggled coquettishly. With a twist of her body, she darted to the door of the room. Turning around, she said, “Young Master Yang is so afraid of thatDemon Race woman. It seems that he has some handle in her hands.”

“What are you going to do!” Yang Kai’s face changed in horror. “Are you going to find her?”

Hua Qingsi said, “Don’t worry, I will secretly protect them. There are so many rooms here. I’ll find a room to meditate.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the door, nimbly slipped through, and disappeared.

Yang Kai looked worried. He released his spiritual sense and noticed that Hua Qingsi really just found a room to practice. Then he felt relieved.

……

The next day, Ye Jinghan came to look for Yang Kai. However, to Yang Kai’s surprise, Ye Jinghan didn’t mention the matter of repairing that spatial array, but brought some medicinal materials over.

These medicinal materials were the ones that Yang Kai had previously instructed her to look for, the materials needed to refine the antidote for Chai Hu’s poison.

Although these several types of medicinal materials were not too difficult to find, they were not easy to find either. Yang Kai also didn’t expect that in just one day since coming here the Thousand Leaves Sect had already gathered them for him. Now that the medicinal materials had been gathered, Yang Kai naturally wanted to refine the Ban Ning Pills for detoxification first.

After thanking Ye Jinghan and seeing her off, Yang Kai immediately started the furnace to refine.

In just half a day, a furnace of Ban Ning Pills was successfully refined.

In Chai Hu’s wing room, Chi Yue and the others came after hearing the news, all nervously watching him.

Chai Hu was currently holding a jade bottle in his hand, and there were six round spirit pills inside the bottle. He was sitting on the ground, holding the jade bottle and looking a little lost in thought.

Yang Kai, is this the Ban Ning Pill you mentioned?” Chi Yue turned around and asked Yang Kai.”

Yes.” Yang Kai nodded and said seriously, “Senior Chai can now take one pill, and several of you can help him refine the medicinal effect. Then take another pill three days later. In this way, after half a month, the demonic poison can be resolved.

Upon hearing this, Chai Hu’s body trembled. He raised his eyes and looked at Yang Kai, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “After the demonic poison is resolved, my cultivation…”

It will still be at the Void King Third Layer Realm.” Yang Kai smiled slightly.”

Hearing what he said, Chai Hu’s expression couldn’t help but darken, and the others also became heavy-hearted. They all thought that Chai Hu would only be like this for the rest of his life and there was no possibility of any improvement at all.

Yang Kai continued, “However, as long as you continue to practice, you will recover quickly.”

The light suddenly burst out in Chai Hu’s eyes, and he stared at Yang Kai burning and said, “Young Master Yang means that… I can still return to what I used to be?

Yang Kai said, “Naturally. Senior Chai was only because of the demonic poison that his cultivation was suppressed. The time is not long and the foundation is not damaged. As long as you work hard to practice, there will always be a time to recover.”

Gui Zu said nervously, “Sect Master, are you sure?”

Yang Kai smiled and said, “How could I joke about this kind of thing?”

“That’s great!” Chi Yue relaxed all of a sudden, as if a big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground. If Chai Hu’s cultivation really stopped advancing from now on, then all the people including her would surely feel uneasy for the rest of their lives. After all, Chai Hu stayed alone to resist the danger in order to delay time for them.

But now that Yang Kai said that there was no problem with Chai Hu’s future cultivation, they were naturally delighted.
