85: Chapter 85 The Ma Family Patriarch's Assessment of a Powerful Enemy

Gu Qingge took out the corpses of Leng Langyuan, the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator surnamed Chen, and the Golden Core Stage Cultivator he had previously slain, laying them all out on the ground.

The strength of the Great Wilderness Puppet Technique he had obtained lay in its ability to preserve the cultivation base of the corpse Puppet from its lifetime with a high probability.

This is because the art of refining Puppets is not only related to the Puppeteer's Cultivation Technique and technique but also to the properties of the Materials used to refine the Puppets.

The most basic Puppets are refined solely using the corpses of Cultivators or Yao Beasts.

After being refined through this method, even in their most Peak initial state, the corpse Puppets can only be guaranteed to return to the strength Realm they had before death and cannot be improved.

There are many ways to strengthen Puppets, such as using Heavenly Tribulation lightning, intense fire, poisonous water, gale winds, and so on.

However, the conditions involved are overly complex; if one is even slightly careless, the Puppet will constantly teeter on the edge of being scrapped until it is completely destroyed.

Therefore, most Puppeteers simply refine the corpses of strong individuals and use them against enemies in their initial state.

"I must say, Sect Leader Mo Tianxing's actions have truly reminded me."

"Explosions are an art form."

"The fact that he failed to utilize this to its extreme is truly because his own strength was insufficient."

"And I, however, can integrate the Dao of Alchemy into it, unleashing the maximum power of their self-detonation."

Gu Qingge looked at the Great Wilderness Puppet Technique placed before him, and a myriad of thoughts instantly coalesced in his mind.

Among Medicinal Pills, there is no lack of some special varieties.

And through the Pill Formula left behind by the Pill Emperor Legacy, Gu Qingge found one that was just right for this purpose.

Blood Explosion Pill.

To be precise, this is a type of poison.

It is not the common saying that every medicine has three parts poison.

Ever since this Medicinal Pill was developed, it has been used as a Sharp Weapon for underhanded tactics.

Immediately, Gu Qingge took out the corpse of the Golden Core Stage Cultivator he had previously slain to serve as a test subject.

He first used the Great Wilderness Puppet Technique to turn the Golden Core Stage Cultivator's corpse into a corpse Puppet. While preserving its original strength, he crushed the refined Blood Explosion Pill, mixed it with his own Devilish Qi to envelop the dispersed medicinal power, and drove it directly into the body of the corpse Puppet.

Thus, a Profound Rank corpse Puppet was officially completed!

A Profound Rank corpse Puppet will not trigger the Heavenly Tribulation for tempering; only an Earth Rank corpse Puppet will cause the Heavenly Tribulation to descend.

For Gu Qingge, this could be considered a good thing.

Because, not to mention a Puppet in the Golden Core Stage, even one in the Nascent Soul Stage appears tiny and incredibly weak when facing the overwhelming momentum of the Heavenly Tribulation.

And the fact that it retained the Golden Core Stage Late Stage Realm cultivation base from its lifetime could already be considered quite good.

"It looks not bad." After carefully examining it, Gu Qingge nodded in praise.

At this moment, he did not choose to detonate this corpse Puppet right then.

After all, Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue was currently in a state of Cultivating.

If a huge commotion occurred, it was hard to guarantee that she would not experience Spiritual Qi fluctuations because of it, subsequently developing a Heart Demon.

Afterwards, Gu Qingge summarized the experience from this attempt and, without any hesitation, refined the two Nascent Soul Stage corpses following the same method.

Unsurprisingly, after the refining was successful, these two Nascent Soul Stage corpses were also of Profound Rank quality.

"The self-detonation of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would likely make even a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator weigh their options, right?"

Gu Qingge could feel the immense Spiritual Qi energy within the two Nascent Soul Stage corpse Puppets.

If he truly encountered a formidable enemy he could not resolve, or those old monsters that were difficult to kill, using these corpse Puppets for self-detonation would not be a bad offensive tactic.

"Afterwards, I still have to face the threat of revenge from the Soul Transformation Stage Old Ancestor of the Ma Family."

"It seems that accumulating strength and achieving a Breakthrough as quickly as possible is the top priority." Gu Qingge made up his mind.

However, he never felt anxious or fearful about slaying Ma Yuan and the Nascent Soul Cultivator surnamed Chen.

If one wants to walk the path to the sequence of Peak powerhouses, slaughter and conquest are unavoidable.

If there is a formidable enemy that cannot be provoked, then one should accumulate strength, wait in the shadows, and when the time comes to resolve and kill them, eliminate the hidden danger in one fell swoop.

This was what Gu Qingge thought, and it was also his philosophy for conquering the enemies of this world.

Meanwhile, the Cultivation Family Gu Qingge was thinking about, the Ma Family, currently had white cloth hung all over the Clan Chief's residence.

"Old Ancestor, you must help avenge Yuan'er!" The Ma Family Clan Chief, who was in the Nascent Soul Stage Early Stage, wailed and cried as he requested the presence of the Ma Family Old Ancestor, Ma Yuanyi.

"What exactly happened?" Ma Yuanyi asked.

To seek revenge, one must first figure out exactly who killed Ma Yuan and his guardian.

Although Ma Yuan's strength was not great, at least he possessed a life-saving spiritual talisman he had given him.

If activated when facing danger, it could unleash a powerful strike.

And his guardian, needless to say.

He was a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator carefully selected by him, whose loyalty and strength were very reliable.

However, despite this, they were destroyed one after another within a few breaths.

In particular, the soul tablet of the Cultivator surnamed Chen, who was in the Nascent Soul Stage, shattered first.

This inevitably caused Ma Yuanyi to ponder.

"It does not seem to be any conspiracy or trickery; otherwise, at the very least, he would have been able to escape."

"I even feel that Yuan'er might not have had the chance to activate that spiritual talisman before being slain on the spot."

"Qingshan Town…"

"Near the Hundred Thousand Monster Mountain Range…"

Ma Yuanyi found it difficult to determine what the situation was for a moment.

Furthermore, he was also afraid that the opponent he was facing this time might not be someone he could resolve.

Since the opponent could easily kill a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, it proved that the opponent's strength far exceeded the Nascent Soul Stage Early Stage, or that they were a Prodigy roaming the world.

And being able to accomplish an instant kill meant that the opponent possessed some special means, or their strength had almost reached the Soul Transformation Stage, or their own cultivation strength was above the Soul Transformation Realm.

Regarding the latter, his own Realm was Soul Transformation Stage Early Stage, so he understood even better that as a Cultivator's cultivation Realm increases, the suppression from any small Realm cannot be ignored.

Just as he could easily kill a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, someone stronger than him could also kill him with a wave of their hand.

Regarding the former, it was even worse.

What is a Prodigy?

What is a Prodigy roaming the world?

It represents that they have high talent, are young, and possess infinite possibilities for the future.

If one provokes them, it is fine if they can be eradicated while the opportunity exists.

If they cannot be eradicated completely and allowed to escape, it is destined that one's own side will have no good fruit to eat.

Not to mention anything else, in the past, he was also a Prodigy, walking the path of revenge to reach the Peak.

He was once almost completely wiped out by his enemies, with only him luckily surviving.

Starting from the Qi Refining Realm, he fought all the way, finally becoming a Nascent Soul, and was able to exact his revenge.

He uprooted the enemy's clan, and even within a hundred miles, he did not even spare the livestock.

Later, relying on the accumulation of his foundation, he successfully impacted the Soul Transformation Realm.

His current cultivation is Soul Transformation Stage Early Stage.

He could not be more familiar with this path.

"This matter cannot be rushed; it should be deliberated carefully."

Although he was usually extremely fond of Ma Yuan, it did not mean he would lose his reason because of the latter's death.

In Cultivating, one must first Cultivate the heart.

If one's heart is blinded and constrained, then one is basically not far from death.

Don't look at the Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator as if they are the sky in the eyes of some Cultivators.

In the eyes of Cultivators who are in a stronger Realm than them, they are nothing more than mere ants.

In a single thought, an instant kill can be completed.

"Let's observe the situation first before deciding." Ma Yuanyi arranged very calmly.
