"Indeed, once this situation became known, the once-famous Blood Puppet Armor quickly declined. Those islands that tried to extend their rule through the Blood Puppet Armor were soon subjugated by other islands, and several pieces of Blood Puppet Armor were lost in the chaos of war. Now, almost no one remembers the existence of Blood Puppet Armor, otherwise Wulu couldn't have passed through the inspection on Fusang Island so easily," Xi Ying said.

"That's not right, didn't you say once the Blood Puppet Armor is worn, it cannot be taken off? Then how could Wulu take off the armor?" Xi Ying raised the question, prompting Yuan Ming to suddenly remember something.

"I also find it unbelievable, which is why I was so surprised when you just said that the Blood Puppet was hanging on the wall. It seems that either Wulu's Blood Puppet Armor has been modified by a master, or this person possesses some other Divine Skills that allow him to remove the Blood Puppet Armor," Xi Ying explained.

"Besides the Jade Puppet Technique, are there other secret techniques passed down in the Lank Jade Book?" Yuan Ming slowly nodded first, then continued to inquire.

"As far as I know, there is one more technique, one that you are aware of. It's the Transplanting Technique that you acquired from Elder Hai of the Guiyuan Sect," Xi Ying explained.

"The Transplanting Technique originated from the Lank Jade Book!" Yuan Ming showed a look of surprise, then calmed down.

The Transplanting Technique was indeed magical and worthy of the reputation of Lank Jade Book.

"The version of the technique you obtained must be incomplete. The Guiyuan Sect could only use it to cultivate a group of Demon Core cultivators. As far as I know, near the East Sea in Southern Border, there was once a sect called the Flower Sect that possessed the complete Transplanting Technique. They performed many miracles, such as transplanting a Level 4 Demon Beast's core into cultivators' bodies to produce Nascent Soul cultivators, implanting demon beast bloodlines into cultivators to enhance their cultivation potential, and even infusing two Divine Souls into one body, cultivating dual-souled cultivators. The founding master of the Flower Sect even based the supreme Divine Skill 'Shifting Flower and Jade' on the Transplanting Technique, which is said to be able to transfer any attack, making them invincible. Unfortunately, that sect has long since declined, and the Transplanting Technique has been lost," Xi Ying sighed.

Yuan Ming also felt regretful, then asked further, "Is there any secret technique revealed from the Penglai Immortal Book?"

"Of the three books, only the Penglai Immortal Book has remained unseen from beginning to end. There is only word of such a book's existence. However, there is a legend in the East Sea that the Penglai Immortal Book records the method of becoming an immortal, and obtaining this book would allow one to become immortal instantly," Xi Ying said.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming shook his head, finding the rumor completely absurd.

To ascend to immortality required steady and arduous cultivation, how could there be a shortcut to instant immortality?

He remained silent, his heart quite yearning for these three Immortal Books, but since he came to the East Sea for the Red Mulberry Immortal Fruit and would soon leave, he probably wouldn't have the chance to encounter these three books. He could only let Qing Tong, Huan Ling Zi, and others try to investigate.

Yuan Ming didn't stay outside for long and went to sit down inside the residence he had established. Using the Silver Token, he opened a barrier and then took out the Purple Star Nine Dragon Spear.

The Purple Star Nine Dragon Spear, being an imitation Spiritual Treasure with twelve runes, must not be aimless. There must truly be some guidance within it.

Since the Earth Core Fire Lotus had been completely distributed, Long Chong and others likely didn't have a clear goal. Afterwards, he could lead them in the direction indicated by the Purple Star Nine Dragon Spear, which might bring some surprises.

With this thought, Yuan Ming once again purified the Purple Star Nine Dragon Spear, fully mastering the rune formation within it, and then put it away.

He composed himself and took a Storage Bag out of his body, performing a gesture with a flick.

With a "clatter," a small pile of items appeared on the ground, consisting of spiritual materials, elixirs, Jade Scroll Books, and the like.

These items all came from what Yuan Ming had acquired from Qing Tong, Huan Ling Zi, and the others. Although he had let them go for some reasons previously, he hadn't been shy about taking quite a bit from them.

The Third-level Demon Pills he had previously granted to Hua Zhi and Lei Yu had also been taken from Huan Ling Zi and others.

Yuan Ming first extended a thread of Spiritual Power and picked up a brown-yellow Spirit Grass.

This grass appeared no different from ordinary Spirit Grass but emitted a pungent odor, staining his Spiritual Power yellow.

This was an extremely poisonous Spirit Grass, its origin unknown to Huan Ling Zi, and even Hua Zhi, who didn't recognize it, merely commented on its fierce toxicity and dared not touch it.

After a brief moment of thought, Yuan Ming tossed the yellow poisonous grass into the Spiritual Beast Bag of Purple Extreme Tai Sui.

Feeling the presence of the poisonous grass, the plump body of Purple Extreme Tai Sui immediately crawled over and devoured the grass in a few bites.

A few breaths later, a yellow stripe appeared on the body of Purple Extreme Tai Sui.

From within the yellow stripe, Yuan Ming sensed a fierce poisonous aura similar to that of the brown-yellow poisonous grass, a flash of understanding crossing his eyes. He then fed Purple Extreme Tai Sui all the highly toxic materials from the ground, along with the brown-red Demon Pill and the Purple Spiritual Fruit he had previously obtained from Qing Tong.

Soon, several more poisonous stripes appeared on Tai Sui, each emitting a distinctly fierce toxin.

The body of Purple Extreme Tai Sui writhed, the several poisonous stripes slowly converging, and eventually merged into one, forming a brown poison stripe.

Yuan Ming flicked his finger, sending a Sword Qi into the Spiritual Beast Bag, and made a small incision on the merged poison stripe, causing a small puff of brown poisonous mist to escape.

He took out a Jade Bottle, applied a layer of Cold Moon Crystal Film to it, collected the brown poisonous mist into it, and then threw the bottle to Hua Zhi.

"See how potent this brown poisonous mist is?"

Catching the Jade Bottle, a tendril from Hua Zhi stretched into the bottle. Instantly, countless brown spots appeared on the tendril, spreading rapidly toward Hua Zhi's main body.

Startled, Hua Zhi immediately severed the contaminated tendril like avoiding a plague, and retracted.

The tendril left in the bottle rapidly turned brown, then crumbled inch by inch into a powdery dust.

"Such potent Earth Attribute poison, and it spreads extremely quickly, extremely effective against Water attribute demon beasts," Hua Zhi said.

"How toxic is it?" Yuan Ming asked again.

"I can only say the toxicity is very strong," Hua Zhi hesitated slightly, saying somewhat helplessly.

"Without a reference, it's indeed hard to judge. Let's do this, set your own toxicity as one point, how does this brown poison fog compare?" Yuan Ming thought for a moment, then said.

"Considering the intensity of the toxicity, the erosion speed, the difficulty in neutralizing it, and other factors, this poison should be around five points," Hua Zhi weighed for a moment and gave an answer.

"Five points, huh, that's not bad. What about this bottle of One Rihong?" Yuan Ming tossed the wine red medicine bottle into Hua Zhi's Spiritual Beast Bag; a burst of white light emerged from the bottle stopper, and many white Spiritual Patterns appeared on the entire bottle.

Yuan Ming formed a gesture with his hands, and the white Spiritual Patterns collapsed, the white light on the bottle stopper also dissipated, and with a bang, it automatically opened.

"What are you doing? Trying to poison me to death?" Hua Zhi had also heard Qing Tong and Huan Ling Zi's conversation earlier and screamed in horror as if faced with a dreadful creature.

"Don't worry," Yuan Ming waved the silver token in his hand, making a point in the void.

A silver barrier about a foot in diameter appeared around the wine red medicine bottle, and many transparent water droplets, which were virtually imperceptible to the naked eye, emerged from the bottle's mouth; Yuan Ming, supported by the Divine Sense of the Stealing Heaven Tripod, was the only one who could capture these transparent droplets.

The transparent water droplets moved swiftly within the silver barrier, rebounded when they hit the barrier.

Over the past few days, his proficiency with the silver token had improved significantly, and he was able to open several spatial barriers simultaneously.

The toxicity of One Rihong was intense, capable of penetrating any Magic Treasure or protective shield formed by secret techniques, yet the spatial barrier was of a special nature that even One Rihong could not affect.

He had already verified this before; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to toss the medicine bottle directly into Hua Zhi's Spiritual Beast Bag.

Hua Zhi then relaxed, moved closer, but could see nothing.

"One Rihong is colorless and odorless; you won't be able to see it. Here, split off a tendril and try twining it around the silver barrier," Yuan Ming said.

Hua Zhi did as instructed.

Yuan Ming pointed with the token once more, and a larger silver barrier enveloped both Hua Zhi's tendril and the silver barrier.

The silver barrier trembled and collapsed, and seven or eight transparent water droplets touched Hua Zhi's tendril, merging into it.

Hua Zhi's tendril quickly turned red, the previously lively tendril instantly stopped moving, losing all its vitality.

Although One Rihong is said to inflict pain for a day before causing death, if the life force of the creature is too weak, it can also quickly succumb to poisoning and die.

Hua Zhi's expression changed drastically, and he fell silent.

"How about that? Can you sense it clearly now?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Almost, only that your silver barrier completely cut off my mental connection with the tendril. Could you take the tendril out so that I can sense it more clearly?" Hua Zhi said.

"Certainly," Yuan Ming swung the token.

Hua Zhi's tendril fell downwards, the silver barrier cracked a tiny slit, and the tendril dropped down, the slit immediately closed, and those pale red droplets did not leak out.

Hua Zhi looked at the lifeless tendril, controlled another tendril to gently touch it, but the redness did not spread.

"Don't worry, once One Rihong penetrates a creature's body, its toxicity fully integrates with the creature, sharing life and death. When the creature is poisoned to death, the toxicity of One Rihong will also disappear," Yuan Ming said.

Hua Zhi's expression relaxed, continued to sense the completely lifeless tendril, soon retracted the tendril, and said, "Truly a terrifying poison. One Rihong is far more potent than the poison I contain and the brown poison fog from earlier. According to the previous assessment standard, this poison's toxicity should reach... twenty points."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming slowly nodded, now having a rough idea of the toxicity of One Rihong.

He waved the silver token, and the silver barrier wrapping the wine red medicine bottle quickly shrank, compressing all the transparent water droplets back into the bottle.

The bottle stopper fell, resealing the jade bottle, and the white Spiritual Patterns reappearing, resealing the bottle.

Yuan Ming continued to examine the items on the ground, quickly went through all the spiritual materials, and categorized and stored them properly.

Afterward, he opened the remaining medicine bottles and examined each one attentively.

Most of these medicine bottles contained elixirs for enhancing Cultivation, which appeared very potent and perfectly suited for his use; the rest were for healing, Detoxification Elixirs, all very precious.
