After the soul is searched, the cultivator will most likely become mentally impaired and dull due to the severe damage to their soul, unable to even distinguish what one equals, let alone cultivate and break through to a higher realm.
After all, Lin Ruoshui's current cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. If Elder Yue really covets Lin Ruoshui's body, then he should wait until she reaches the Foundation Establishment Tribulation Crossing stage before taking over her body. Only in this way can he maximize his benefits.
Otherwise, if one fails to transcend the tribulation and then goes to great lengths to possess a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the starting point would indeed be too low for a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Elder Yue needs Lin Ruoshui to continue her cultivation.
But Bai Lan still couldn't understand why Elder Yue had agreed to marry Lin Ruoshui to Yan Gu.
Regardless of whether she will ultimately fail to transcend the tribulation and thus possess Lin Ruoshui's body, if she does possess Lin Ruoshui, wouldn't she also become Yan Gu's dao companion? Or is this also part of Elder Yue's plan?
Yan Gu has good aptitude but is useless in strength and has no brains. He is indeed the kind of person who is easily captured by old monsters and used as a furnace.
Seeing Bai Lan deep in thought, Yan Hao's expression grew increasingly tense. " Young Pavilion Master?"
"Let's hold back for now. If nothing unexpected happens, the Pavilion Master will make a move to kill Elder Yue within the next few months."
Yan Hao's eyelids twitched.
Given the power struggles among the higher-ups of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, what could a lowly cultivator like him possibly do? He feared that the cunning Young Pavilion Master might find him some deadly tasks.
"Go back and lie in wait by her side. After Elder Yue dies, search her cave abode for everything you can, then bring Lin Ruoshui to find me." Bai Lan looked up at Yan Hao.
The scenes of a heroine rescuing a damsel in distress, breaking into cave abode, and saving a beautiful woman from danger are indeed thrilling.
But it's too risky and unnecessary.
Elder Yue will die sooner or later. She believed in the strength of True Lord Suiyun. Elder Yue was nothing more than a little grasshopper that she could play with.
It would be better to wait until Elder Yue falls, and then reap the benefits.
"..." Yan Hao remained silent for a long time. "But... there is a restriction set up by Elder Yue in the secret room where Senior Sister Lin is imprisoned."
"This is not difficult."
Bai Lan waved his hand, probed the void with his Divine Sense, and summoned Miaoyunzi.
Although Miaoyunzi patriarch of the Joyous Union Sect, was not as strong as Elder Fu, he was still a remnant soul at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He could easily remove the restrictions set up by a cultivator at the lower level.
"What do you want to do with me?" Miaoyunzi, who had been pulled out by Bai Lan, looked puzzled.
The sudden appearance of the infant's remnant soul startled Yan Hao.
"I just took on a new recruit, and I need to trouble Senior Miaoyunzi to stay by his side and assist him."
Have they recruited another new person?
Miaoyunzi's critical gaze shifted to Yan Hao, and she snorted coldly, "A Foundation Establishment stage brat? Heh, fine, for the sake of the sect leader, I'll help the junior."
" The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is a place fraught with danger. With Senior Miaoyunzi's strength, as long as he doesn't make a move, he can easily disguise himself in front of Elder Yue, who is at the Ren level." After saying this, Bai Lan handed a ring that could house a remnant soul to Yan Hao.
As more and more remnant souls were collected, Bai Lan had more and more items in her possession that these souls could reside in.
"Thank you Young Pavilion Master!" Yan Hao held the ring in his hand that housed the remnant soul of the infant spirit. Looking at the Young Pavilion Master in black robes in front of him, he suddenly felt much more at ease.
He had never undertaken such a lavish task before.
Although he was very unwilling to be driven by others, looking at the black figure of the Young Pavilion Master in front of him, he was indeed much more reliable than Ling Xunxian.
With the help of the remnant soul of the infant, his life could be saved.
" The Divine Restraining Curse on your body cannot be removed for the time being. Otherwise, with Elder Yue's cunning, he will definitely notice something is wrong. When the time is right, Senior Miaoyunzi will remove the Divine Restraining Curse for you." After Bai Lan finished speaking, he smiled again, "Of course, after the Divine Restraining Curse is removed, you must also offer a wisp of your divine soul. This is the rule of our Spirit Taming Sect."
Yan Hao's smile froze at its brightest moment.
First came the Gu worms, then the poisonous curse; after the curse was cast, the soul was taken away.
"Alright, when you see Elder Yue, tell him that you couldn't find me and that the servants said the Young Pavilion Master has gone on a journey."
After Bai Lan finished speaking, he waved his hand and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, leaving no trace.
Yan Hao watched Bai Lan's departing figure, clutching the ring in his hand, and suddenly felt a deep sense of melancholy.
"What are you standing there for? Have you finished the task the sect leader assigned you?" Miaoyunzi said coldly.
The more she looked at Yan Hao, the more displeased she became. Teaching the remaining three hundred disciples of the Joyous Union Sect in the Void Stone was the happiest time she had ever had since becoming the ancestor. She didn't have to worry about cultivation, nor did she have to deal with the infighting among the various forces in the cultivation world, nor did she have to worry about resources within the sect.
But this leisurely life was shattered.
Blame Bai Lan? Of course, you can't blame her, so Yan Hao is fully responsible for this.
"You're almost fifty years old and still haven't broken through to the Core Formation stage. Aren't you ashamed? I've never seen such a poorly aptitude junior in my life. Don't you know the principle of 'the early bird catches the worm'? When you're free, cultivate; when you have free time, kill Demon Beast. fortuitous opportunity don't fall from the sky, and daydreaming won't make you suddenly enlightened!"
Hearing Miaoyunzi's stern voice, Yan Hao trembled. "I'm sorry, senior! I'll take care of it right away!"
Having never seen many Nascent Soul cultivators in his entire life, Yan Hao suddenly felt a chill run down his spine when he was about to spend several months with the remnant soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Bai Lan has indeed left the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
She stayed in the pavilion for a long time, immersing herself in the Thunder Lightning Pool every day to cultivate the Purple Firmament True Art, all in order to find an opportunity to leave that woman as soon as possible.
Today happens to be the day she breaks through the first level of the Purple Firmament True Art, True Lord Suiyun is not in the pavilion. If not now, when?
"Hey, aren't you afraid that your good godmother will find out and kidnap Miaoyunzi by leaving her with that kid?" Although Elder Fu looked down on Miaoyunzi, he was unwilling to let his own camp suffer any losses.
Bai Lan shook his head. "That woman hasn't had time to deal with the miscellaneous affairs of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion recently. Yan Gu, who was tricked by us and died at the bottom of the Hidden Dragon Abyss Yan Gu, did a lot of good deeds before he died. She's busy reinforcing the seal."
Seeing Elder Fu's confusion, Bai Lan casually gave Elder Fu a copy of the video that the system had sent her.
Elder Fu Elder Fu no interest in the Spiritual Qi iron plate that Bai Lan handed him, but in the next instant, his attention was completely drawn to the dragon bound by chains in the picture.
The image shows a corner of the dragon's head. Looking up from Yan Gu's perspective, he felt the overwhelming power of the giant dragon coiled at the bottom of the abyss. The dragon's eyes, which suddenly opened, seemed to be filled with anger, and there was a hidden force of mountains collapsing and rivers overturning.
The ninth-tier dragon, possessing the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon, exudes an even greater aura than a certain eighth-tier Fox King in Fuli Valley.
Fortunately, this small iron plate can only transmit images and not pressure; otherwise, just one glance would shake one's Dao heart.
