Puppet Pill

She had merely touched upon the threshold of the Half-Emperor realm, yet she was never able to break through. However, Lin Chou possessed six different laws, so on the Dou Qi Continent, virtually no one could defeat her.

Thus, Lin Xuan had this idea. For the time being, he did not dare kill Xiao Yan outright, as he had no idea what consequences would follow if he did.

So, for now, Lin Xuan could only set up a few little gifts for Xiao Yan and slowly lead him into traps. Leaving those little gifts there for over a hundred years should not be a problem.

After all, there was unexpectedly a gap of around a hundred years between the storylines of Legend of Yao Lao and Battle Through the Heavens. (The author was not entirely sure either, but after calculating it carefully, it should be more than a hundred years.)

After Lin Xuan accompanied Lin Chou and the other two around the streets for a while, he casually stopped a passerby to ask for the location of the Oba Family. Then, he planned to take the three of them there.

However, just as they started walking toward the Oba Family, Lin Chou and Zi Yan said to Lin Xuan,

"Take Yue Mei with you. The two of us still want to look around some more. Once you are done, we will come find you."

Hearing Lin Chou's words, Lin Xuan nodded, then headed toward the Oba Family with Yue Mei.

Before long, Lin Xuan and Yue Mei arrived at the Oba Family residence. Two guards stood at the entrance. Lin Xuan did not conceal his cultivation; instead, he directly raised it to the Dou Wang realm. Then, he strode up to the gate and looked at the two guards.

The two guards sensed Lin Xuan's cultivation, and cold sweat immediately trickled down their foreheads. They hurriedly asked him respectfully,

"My lord, may we ask what business brings you to the Oba Family?"

At the same time, several Oba Family elders and the Oba Family patriarch sensed Lin Xuan's aura. Their expressions changed drastically, and they hurried toward the entrance.

After all, the cultivation Lin Xuan had released was at the Dou Wang realm. In a small city like Wutan City, one would basically never encounter a Dou Wang expert.

"It has nothing to do with you. Stand aside. The person in charge will be here shortly."

After hearing the guard's words, Lin Xuan glanced at him, then turned toward the gates and spoke to the two guards.

The guards were relieved upon hearing him. They hurriedly moved to the side, though cold sweat still streamed down their foreheads. To them, a Dou Wang expert was not someone they could meet whenever they wished.

Yue Mei, who stood behind Lin Xuan, remained silent throughout, merely watching him quietly.

A minute later, five Oba Family elders and a fat patriarch arrived at the entrance. Upon seeing Lin Xuan, they asked,

"May we ask what business a Dou Wang such as yourself has with our humble Oba Family?"

Lin Xuan sized them up and found that none of them had even reached the Dou Ling realm. He then said,

"It is nothing major. I simply want the Oba Family to become an organization under my command."

After saying this, Lin Xuan raised his hand and made a finger-gun gesture at the Oba Family elders.

The Oba Family elders and the fat patriarch's expressions turned ugly upon hearing Lin Xuan's words.

After exchanging glances, one of the slightly older elders said to Lin Xuan,

"Esteemed Dou Wang, I am afraid the matter you mentioned is not—"

Bang

Before the elder could finish, Lin Xuan pointed his hand at him and uttered a sound. The slightly older elder immediately collapsed to the ground.

The surrounding Oba Family elders gasped sharply at the sight. The fat patriarch hurriedly said to Lin Xuan,

"Esteemed Dou Wang, the Oba Family agrees to your terms."

Hearing the fat man's words, Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, sometimes violence was a very quick way to resolve matters, though not always. Then, he looked toward the other elders.

Seeing Lin Xuan look at them, the elders hurriedly said,

"Esteemed Dou Wang, we all agree to your terms. From this day onward, the Oba Family will become an organization under your command."

Upon hearing their words, Lin Xuan took out the Puppet Pills he had previously refined in the Ancient Emperor's Cave from his system backpack.

The Puppet Pill was a medicinal pill from the Myriad Pill Codex. Its effect was to turn anyone who consumed it into an obedient puppet of the alchemist who refined it.

However, the alchemist's cultivation had to exceed that of the person consuming the pill, otherwise it would have no effect. Yet, with Lin Xuan's cultivation as a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, as long as someone swallowed a Puppet Pill, they would immediately become his puppet.

The ingredients needed to refine Puppet Pills were rather difficult to obtain. Fortunately, the Ancient Emperor's Cave happened to have the ingredients for refining them, so Lin Xuan had casually refined some.

In truth, he had not refined many—only around a thousand or so. In any case, it was enough to form a puppet army of a thousand.

Lin Xuan then tossed Puppet Pills to the elders and the fat patriarch, saying at the same time,

"Eat them. If I wanted to kill you, there would be no need to go through so much trouble."

After receiving the pills and hearing Lin Xuan's words, the elders and fat patriarch gritted their teeth and swallowed the Puppet Pills.

Then, a flash of white light passed through the eyes of the elders and fat patriarch who had consumed the Puppet Pills, and the look in their eyes changed.

They immediately knelt before Lin Xuan and said,

"Honored Master, please command your loyal puppet servants."

Seeing them like this, Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction. After all, this was his first time using Puppet Pills, and he had not known their exact effects. Now, he had a general understanding of them.

"Alright. Take these pills and have the other managers of the Oba Family consume them. Then, have everyone gather in the main hall."

Lin Xuan then took twenty Puppet Pills from his system backpack, tossed them to the fat patriarch, and spoke to him.

Afterward, Lin Xuan entered the Oba Family gates with Yue Mei and headed toward the main hall.
