So, what’s left seems to be finding a suitable Evil Land Core for him.

And this place is right in front of his eyes.

...

On a snowy night, Song Yan did not go directly to the Evil Land Core; instead, he called Gong Libai over.

"Libai, I need you to find something for me."

"Master, please instruct."

"Soul Drowning Grass, must be over a thousand years old, two stalks."

Gong Libai’s expressionless and fierce eyes showed a trace of astonishment. He knew of Soul Drowning Grass, it was an essential ingredient for some ’Soul System Elixirs,’ but usually they were decades old.

Over a thousand years old?

This... not to mention Soul Drowning Grass, even other Spirit Flowers and Herbs are extremely rare, finding just one would be a stroke of luck.

But since it’s Song Yan’s order, he had no choice but to agree reluctantly, but he immediately added, "Master, these days, I’m still dealing with those fox cubs infiltrating the Three Kingdoms, I’m afraid I might not be able to fully help you with this."

Song Yan said, "No worries, if you can’t handle it, let the disciples come to me directly."

Gong Libai hesitated, surprised, "How can this be? Just a few fox demons, are they really worth your trouble?"

Song Yan said, "After several battles, the Puppet Sect is already short-handed."

Gong Libai hurriedly said, "I understand my mistake, I will speed up the training of the lower-level cultivators. Recently, I’ve recruited many new people, and quite a few promising seeds have emerged. Now that the Sword Sect cultivators are no longer hunting outside, these seeds should have a much higher survival rate. In less than ten years, our Puppet Sect will surely be full of talent again."

"Go," Song Yan waved his hand.

Gong Libai took his leave.

Song Yan watched his departing figure for a long time before retreating into the secluded chamber belonging solely to the Sect Leader, where he quickly began the skin-making of the Ancient General’s wolf hide.

An entire night passed, and dawn had yet to arrive.

Outside, the snowfall continued to grow heavier, and in this dim and hazy view, a malformed giant wolf shadow puppet silently emerged from the chamber, swiftly heading towards the Evil Land.

And above the giant wolf shadow puppet’s head, a bodiless phantom crow circled.

The Divine Soul Power provided by the Cold Ice Hell Bracelet allowed Song Yan to simultaneously use the "Divine Soul Hundred Defenses" to split his soul among fifteen shadow puppets.

Without this bracelet, and before absorbing the Changwang Tiger Soul, his limit was five.

It was obvious that the higher the difficulty of soul splitting, the more challenging it became; fifteen shadow puppets were already the limit.

After doing all this, he stretched his body, returned to his bedroom, shed his clothes, and seeing the two women still lying on the bed, he slipped in, turned to his left, not knowing who he was cuddling, he comfortably fell asleep.

As for the arrangement of the "Soul Drowning Grass"...

Song Yan had his own thoughts: he might not need this mystical herb, but he needed to know if "such a rare thousand-year mystical herb might just happen to appear within his obtainable range at this moment."

If it does, that would be interesting indeed.

Su Yao looked at each, finding all the names very familiar, almost able to recall each person’s voice, appearance, and past memories just by seeing a name. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

But her expression became increasingly bitter because these people were all dead!

And when her gaze fell upon the words "Seventh Sister, Su Yao," she could no longer hold back and cried out loudly, kneeling in front of the tombstone, wailing.

...

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

The "Ancient General Shadow Puppet," containing Song Yan’s aura, moved rapidly through the mountains.

The Evil Land was indeed eerie, but if compared by appearance alone, the malformed giant wolf far exceeded these specters in terror.

Yet even so, the entire Evil Land’s rampage surprised Song Yan a bit.

It seemed like he had plunged into a vortex of Evil Qi, filled everywhere with torrents capable of sweeping away ordinary people and leaving regular cultivators unable to stand firm.

But these had no effect on the Ancient General Shadow Puppet, which had a Middle Stage of Crimson Palace physique.

Since there seemed to be an issue with the Evil Land, Song Yan naturally had to send a shadow puppet to investigate first.

The demon shadow puppet had lost all its skills but still retained its physique and inherent racial talent.

Song Yan had three shadow puppets above the Crimson Palace Level: two foxes and one wolf.

The fox’s talent was Illusion Technique.
