"Condense the Poison Pill within two months?"
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yixian nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. I'll hurry up and complete my cultivation in fire control. By the way, while you were away, Venerable Yao sent this over."
As she spoke, Xiao Yixian flipped her hand and took a gray scroll from her Storage Ring before handing it to Lin Yuan.
This scroll was none other than the method of Gathering Fire to Condense Pills that he had entrusted Yao Lao to perfect.
After receiving the scroll, Lin Yuan carefully read through it. A look of pleasant surprise appeared in his eyes as he sighed, "Very good. As expected of an experienced senior. He actually managed to perfect the Gathering Fire to Condense Pills method to such a degree."
After putting the scroll into his Storage Ring, Lin Yuan waved his sleeve. With a whoosh, the golden Heavenly Demon Puppet appeared in front of them.
Medusa and Xiao Yixian looked at the Heavenly Demon Puppet with considerable curiosity. A Dou Zun-level puppet was practically something out of a fantasy.
Seeing their reactions, Lin Yuan chuckled before turning serious.
"Queen, you three, give me a strand of your soul power. I'll grant you control authority over the Heavenly Demon Puppet. Over the next two months, I'll be devoting a great deal of time to refining pills, so take the Heavenly Demon Puppet with you and help me handle some matters."
Hearing this, the three women exchanged glances before each extracting a strand of soul power from between their brows.
Three strands of soul power, almost solid in appearance, floated before Lin Yuan.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yuan steadied his mind. Vast soul power surged from between his brows and enveloped the three strands of soul power before him. He lightly bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a drop of crimson essence blood that fell into the mass of soul power.
Immediately afterward, his hands formed several profound seals. Blood-red light spread outward, dyeing the combined soul power completely crimson.
"Go!"
Lin Yuan flicked his finger. The blood-red soul power shot forward and landed on the Heavenly Demon Puppet's brow before seamlessly merging into it.
At that instant, the three women simultaneously experienced a strange sensation. Each of them could clearly feel that an indescribable and profound connection had formed between herself and the Heavenly Demon Puppet, allowing her to control the puppet before her.
"Done!"
Lin Yuan nodded and withdrew the seals formed by his hands.
Just now, he had slightly modified the Heavenly Demon Puppet's control system and implemented a hierarchical control system.
Under this system, Lin Yuan possessed first-level authority, while Xiao Yixian, Medusa, and Qing Lin possessed second-level authority.
All three women could control the Heavenly Demon Puppet. However, whenever their commands conflicted with Lin Yuan's, the Heavenly Demon Puppet would execute Lin Yuan's command.
If the commands of the three women conflicted with one another while Lin Yuan had issued no command, the Heavenly Demon Puppet would simply shut down.
"Take the Heavenly Demon Puppet and this map." Lin Yuan took a map from his Storage Ring and handed it to Medusa.
Medusa accepted the map and discovered that it marked numerous countries. A black route ran through many of them, with its starting point being the Black-Corner Region.
She looked at Lin Yuan with some confusion and asked, "What is this map, and what is this route marked on it?"
"Hehe." Lin Yuan chuckled and said calmly, "I started preparing this a long time ago. Based on the intelligence accumulated by Jia Nan Academy, I planned out a route for treasure hunting!"
"Now that we have a Dou Zun-level combat force like the Heavenly Demon Puppet, we can finally put the plan into action."
"The countries along this route all have powerful forces stationed within them. These forces have dominated their respective countries for many years and accumulated a considerable amount of rare treasures and heavenly resources. As for their strength, they are not weak. At the very least, each has a Dou Ancestor guarding it. However, none of them have a Dou Zun-level powerhouse, so the Heavenly Demon Puppet is more than enough to sweep through them."
"The strong prey upon the weak. The weak prey upon those weaker than themselves. That is simply the law of this world!"
"Once Zi Yan comes out of seclusion, Queen, you will take her and Qing'er with you and ride the Heavenly Demon Puppet along the route marked on the map. Go and plunder the resources these countries have accumulated over the years."
"With Zi Yan's ability to locate treasures, there is no need to worry about anything being overlooked."
At this point, a trace of indifference appeared in Lin Yuan's eyes as he calmly said, "Xiyue, Zi Yan, and Xiaocai, the three of you need an enormous amount of rare treasures and heavenly resources to advance. Let the accumulated foundations of these countries make up for what you need."
This was something Lin Yuan had planned from the very beginning.
Before heading to the Central Plains, he had intended to make a huge haul in the Northwest Continent. After all, once they reached the Central Plains, he would no longer be able to plunder resources so recklessly.
As for the timing, according to his original plan, this operation was supposed to begin after Xiao Yixian condensed her Poison Pill.
However, because of the Hall of Souls, not only did he no longer have enough time, but Xiao Yixian had also yet to condense her Poison Pill.
Nevertheless, that did not prevent the plan from being carried out.
With the Heavenly Demon Puppet's Dou Zun-level strength and Queen Medusa as his helper, there was no reason why this treasure-hunting operation could not be carried out ahead of schedule.
Now that he possessed a Dou Zun-level combat force, he naturally had to make good use of it. Otherwise, he would be wasting such formidable strength.
"Also." He looked at Qing Lin and smiled. "I have marked the locations where there are Seventh-Grade magical beasts along the route as well. While you are there, help Qing'er capture some Dou Ancestor-level magical beasts to become her subordinates."
After hearing Lin Yuan's arrangements, a helpless smile appeared on Medusa's breathtakingly beautiful face. She said calmly, "You really are just as reckless as ever. Don't worry. Leave this matter to me. I'll make sure it is completed successfully."
However, she had no reservations whatsoever about Lin Yuan's behavior, which was practically no different from that of a bandit.
She had long understood his lawless nature, his single-minded focus on his own goals, and his complete disregard for so-called "rules."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Xiyue," Lin Yuan said seriously.
Xiao Yixian needed to devote herself to cultivation during this period and make preparations to condense her Poison Pill, so she could not participate in the operation. Although Zi Yan and Qing Lin were both intelligent, they still lacked sufficient experience. With Medusa, an experienced veteran of the world, accompanying them, the operation would be much safer.
"Between us, there is no need to say something like that," she replied indifferently.
"True." Lin Yuan chuckled softly. After pondering for a moment, he reminded her, "When carrying out the operation, remember to conceal your identities. If you encounter resistance, there is no need to force the issue. Withdraw immediately."
"Don't worry." Medusa waved her hand, interrupting him. "I'm not some inexperienced newcomer. I know exactly how to handle these matters."
Hearing this, Lin Yuan was slightly stunned. He then laughed helplessly and said softly, "I suppose I was simply worrying too much. Her Majesty the Queen has been roaming the Northwest for many years. There really was no need for me to remind you about such things."
After discussing the details for some time, Lin Yuan headed toward the direction of the Library Pavilion.
