Senior sister, I'm going to control you.

Chapter 61: Exploring the Cave Abode, A Pulling Apart

Li Tianran placed the communication jade slip on the stone table and gently tapped the surface with his fingers.

Is Ma Rou coming to find him?

He quickly went through it in his mind.

Her initial goal was simple: to destroy Han Li's puppet.

The two had discussed it before, but the plan was put on hold because Tianjian Mountain suddenly attacked the Blood Spirit Sect.

No, this attack on the mountain is too strange.

The Heavenly Sword Sect, which had come with overwhelming force, was completely wiped out, while the three deacons of the Blood Spirit Sect made a fortune.

Han Li, in particular, has always lacked the soul of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator to serve as the core of her puppet.

The Heavenly Sword Sect just happened to deliver themselves to their doorstep; it was practically suicide...

Do you think Ma Rou and the others wouldn't know about this?

She had said she would look for me, but she didn't even come when Tianjian Mountain attacked.

As soon as Han Li obtained the soul of the Foundation Establishment puppet, she came looking for her.

This indirectly confirms that Ma Rou knew what would happen next.

Now is the perfect time!

She came looking for me!

Hmph, if that's how it is.

If he were discovered doing this, Han Li would definitely grind him into mincemeat.

He hadn't obtained the Blood Transformation Technique before, so he went to beg her for help.

Now that I have the Blood Transformation Technique, I just need to find a chance to escape.

Want him to do something that could cost him his head? It's not that simple!

Li Tianran was deep in thought.

The communication jade slip vibrated again, and he immediately got up and walked towards the door.

A mature and elegant woman in a green robe was already standing outside the door, her aura completely concealed.

Without hesitation, he opened the cave door.

Ma Rou strode in, the string of spirit shells on her ankle bumping against her foot.

The skirt is narrow, causing the curves of the waist and hips to undulate as one walks.

She sat down across the stone table and crossed her legs.

The spirit shell peeked out from under the skirt, gleaming with a pale blue luster under the dim light of the spirit stone.

"What did Han Li just say to you?" Ma Rou asked bluntly.

Li Tianran poured her a cup of tea.

"Master said that we have obtained the soul of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the next step is to formally refine the Foundation Establishment puppet. He asked me and Senior Sister Zhao to assist him."

"She asked you to carve the patterns?"

"Yes."

Ma Rou put down her teacup and leaned forward half an inch.

"Do you remember the time you came to me for a favor?"

The neckline of her dark green dress was slightly open, revealing a section of her collarbone and the edge of her bra.

Li Tianran replied, "I remember."

Ma Rou's tone carried a hint of urgency:

"Once Han Li's puppet is completed, the position of Vice Sect Master of the Blood Spirit Sect will be completely hers."

Her puppet possesses Foundation Establishment level combat power. Do you know what that means?

"Someone will suffer the consequences."

"I am the one who suffers the loss."

Ma Rou placed the teacup on the table, the bottom of the cup making a crisp sound as it struck the stone surface.

"Her puppet was made from the soul of a Foundation Establishment elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and Wang Yin's pill was opened with the essence blood of a Foundation Establishment elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

I was the only one who picked up a few broken swords, a few broken talismans, and a bunch of worthless storage bags.

They even used so many poisonous beasts and so many blood spirit herbs, but in the end, they couldn't even break even.

I don't do business that doesn't benefit me, her Foundation Establishment puppet...

Ma Rou didn't finish speaking, and Li Tianran didn't speak up either.

Seeing Li Tianran's calm demeanor, Ma Rou frowned.

She didn't bother with any more words and took out a small piece of transparent white jade from her sleeve.

The jade surface is engraved with extremely fine lines, so fine that they are almost invisible to the naked eye and are nearly transparent.

"The white jade is engraved with a counter-blood pact, which can bypass Han Li's blood guide and directly control the puppet's core."

The one I gave you last time was a destructive golem; it was too obvious and easy to spot.

The sect does indeed need a Foundation Establishment cultivator right now; it would be a pity to destroy them.

Ma Rou finished speaking quickly.

Li Tianran was also taken aback, never expecting her to be so ambitious.

She actually wanted to seize Han Li's decades of achievements?

Li Tianran asked, "What do I need to do?"

"You are responsible for attaching it to the puppet core. You must attach it while you are engraving the patterns, at which time the puppet core will be briefly exposed. It only takes a moment to attach it."

After it's done, I'll give you the second half of the Blood Transformation Technique and also help you cover for yourself.

At that time, you will be completely free, and you will not have to worry about being killed by bloodshed or being manipulated and slaughtered at any time.

The Eastern Region is vast; you can go anywhere... no, except the Eastern Region.

You can also go to the Central Plains, the Southern Frontier, the Western Barbarian Lands, and even the Northern Sea, the Antarctic, and the vast sea frontier.

You should buy a flying artifact later.

You can visit mountains, rivers, lakes and seas to see magnificent scenery, explore strange and mysterious places, and experience local customs, culture and geography.

As long as you don't provoke the powerful, you can travel the world freely and unrestrained!

Ma Rou's words were so captivating that she herself didn't even realize it.

There was a hint of longing in her tone, and a glimmer of light in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Li Tianran

I silently memorized these place names; the vastness of this world truly exceeded my imagination.

However, he looked at the piece of blood jade on the table but did not reach out to take it.

He said in a serious tone, "Uncle-Master Ma, if Master finds out about this, I will die."

There are risks in everything you do.

"Therefore, I need a way to protect my life."

Li Tianran's voice was calm.

"One Level Two Escape Talisman. The kind that allows you to travel over a hundred miles."

Ma Rou raised an eyebrow and stared at Li Tianran for a long time.

Her tone suddenly turned cold: "You don't want the second half of the Blood Transformation Technique?"

Li Tianran chuckled inwardly.

He already has everything, what more could he need?

However, he wasn't foolish enough to say it outright.

He smiled wryly: "Uncle Ma, the prerequisite for me to help you is that I must survive."

I don't even have anything to save my life. Once I'm discovered, everything will be for nothing.

These words were spoken.

Ma Rou's expression softened, and she sneered, "A level two escape talisman? You dare to ask!"

One ticket costs three thousand spirit stones; once it's used up, it's gone!

Li Tianran: "Can it be more expensive than my martial uncle's Foundation Establishment puppet?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Rou fell silent.

The way he looked at Li Tianran also changed a bit.

She said calmly, "After you complete the mission, if it goes undetected, you have to return it to me."

Upon hearing this...

Li Tianran said seriously, "Of course, what I'm after is security, not my master's treasure."

Ma Rou nodded slowly: "You're quite sensible."

But she had barely finished speaking.

Li Tianran then added, "Since it's all borrowed, then Uncle-Master, could you lend me a robe that can withstand a Foundation Establishment attack?"

This disciple is not a Foundation Establishment cultivator. When Master discovered that this disciple had tampered with something, he casually struck the disciple with a palm and the disciple was gone.

The Escape Talisman can help you escape, but you still need to withstand the first hit. You need at least three defensive talismans. The poisonous mist in Bloodfang Valley can hold off Foundation Establishment cultivators, but the poisonous mist doesn't discriminate between friend and foe.

Furthermore, if the plan fails, I need some spirit stones, enough to hide in the black market for a few months.

Li Tianran spoke extremely fast, giving her no chance to interrupt.

Moreover, his words were so reasonable and well-founded that Ma Rou was completely stunned.

She laughed in exasperation!

Swish!

Ma Rou leaned forward, and the Lingbei anklet rattled under the table.

"Level 2 Escape Talisman! Robe? Defense Talisman! Spirit Stones! Heh... You're just a pseudo-Qi Refining cultivator, yet you're asking for things that even Foundation Establishment cultivators might not be able to gather."

"Li Tianran, do you know that Bloodfang Valley only has five or six Level 2 Escape Talismans in stock?"

Ma Rou stood up as she spoke.

Her stunning figure and captivating charm emanated from her, exuding an overwhelming sense of power.
