"Thank you, Young Master Qin."

Xing He said with a complex expression.

"Open your mouth."

With two fingers, Qin Yang pinched and a black talisman appeared at his fingertips, with a ferocious snake head shadow drawn on it.

White Crane, on the side, showed a slight sense of tension. He wasn't unfamiliar with this kind of talisman, as there was one inside him.

Xing He hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth.

Qin Yang gently pinched it, and the black talisman scattered into spots of light. A small black snake emerged and went straight into Xing He's mouth.

"Gulp!"

Xing He's face bore fear. He swallowed dryly, knowing that Qin Yang's methods were strange. This must be for controlling him.

"This is called the Poison Spirit Talisman. It activates every three months. Each activation, if I don't help suppress it, you will suffer in pain for seven days and nights, eventually dying in agony with your intestines decomposed."

Qin Yang said indifferently. He definitely couldn't trust this newly recruited Ancient Martial Artist, so he had to use the Poison Spirit Talisman for control.

Xing He's face changed. Cold sweat streamed down his forehead. Evidently, he did not have much doubt about Qin Yang's words.

"Want to feel the taste of the Poison Spirit Talisman now?"

Qin Yang stared at Xing He and asked.

"No, no, Young Master Qin, in the future I, Xing He, am willing to work for you."

Xing He straightened his expression, clenched his teeth, and said.

"Do as I instruct, and the Poison Spirit Talisman will never activate in your lifetime," Qin Yang said.

"Yes, Young Master Qin."

Xing He nodded. Although he had strong resistance to being subordinate to Qin Yang, remembering how the mistress and Punishment Elder disregarded his life or death reduced his attachment to the Celestial Sword Pavilion a lot.

"Tell me, the Celestial Sword Pavilion sent three Profound Tier experts down the mountain this time. It shouldn't just be because of my last intrusion into the pavilion, right?"

Qin Yang fixed his gaze on Xing He and inquired.

Xing He thought for a moment and began to speak: "Last time, Young Master Qin's methods were strange and mysterious. Coupled with possessing talismans that could only be obtained in such secret realms or cave mansions, the pavilion suspected that you might have been into or controlled some secret realms or cave mansions."

"Secret realms or cave mansions?"

Qin Yang slightly raised his eyebrows.

On the Immortal Yuan Continent, some deeply cultivated cultivators, before passing away or nearing the end of their lifespan, would open a space secret realm or create a cave mansion, hiding all their lifelong knowledge and treasures inside, waiting for a destined person to explore and inherit their legacy.

Could there be such places on Earth too?

"So the Celestial Sword Pavilion wants to know about the secret realms or cave mansions from me?"

Qin Yang pondered and asked.

The people of the Celestial Sword Pavilion thought he controlled some secret realms or cave mansions. However, he didn't know that such things existed on Earth.

"Yes."

Xing He nodded and said.

"Has anyone in the Celestial Sword Pavilion ever been to places like secret realms or cave mansions?"

Qin Yang mused for a while, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes, and asked.

"The Pavilion Master and the mistress have been there; the others, I don't know. I've heard that there are many opportunities in the secret realms and cave mansions, with many rare spirit fruits and spirit medicines, but also dangers. I am just a minor disciple of the Punishment Hall and have only heard about the matters of secret realms and cave mansions, so that's all I know."

Xing He said, revealing all he knew.

Upon hearing this, a flash of light crossed Qin Yang's eyes. When he first reached this world, after reading the history books, he suspected that cultivators existed on Earth thousands of years ago.

Now, he heard that there are secret realms and cave mansions on Earth, and his thoughts immediately became active. Given the opportunity, he must explore these secret realms and cave mansions.

"It seems that this Celestial Sword Pavilion must be controlled by me."

Qin Yang murmured. Whether for the Spirit Fish Pond or the information on secret realms and cave mansions, he has every reason to do so.

However, before attacking the Celestial Sword Pavilion, he must enhance the strength of his subordinates.

"Let's go to the courtyard,"

Qin Yang said to the people in the room.

In the courtyard, Qin Yang's gaze swept over White Crane, Zhao Hui, and the six others, and the newly recruited Xing He.

"Let's discuss the upcoming events. My goal is clear: to capture the Celestial Sword Pavilion."

Qin Yang said to the group.

White Crane, Zhao Hui, and the others were familiar with Qin Yang's objective, so there was no surprise.

"Capture the Celestial Sword Pavilion?"

Xing He's expression slightly changed, but soon returned to normal.

"What? Do you have a problem?"

Qin Yang fixed his gaze on Xing He.

Xing He straightened his expression, shook his head, and said, "The pavilion seeks the information about cave mansions and secret realms that you, Young Master Qin, possess. You seek the Celestial Sword Pavilion. It's the survival of the fittest, depending on whose strength is greater. Having submitted to Young Master Qin, I am willing to give my effort."

"Not bad, you have a bit of insight."

Qin Yang nodded. Whether it was the immortal cultivation sects of the past Immortal Yuan Continent or the current Ancient Martial Realm, it was always like this: when strong, you annex others; when weak, you await annexation by others.

"White Crane, these are the five Primordial Spirit Pills I promised you."

Qin Yang took out five Primordial Spirit Pills and handed them to White Crane.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin."

White Crane received them with a look of excitement and gratitude.

Xing He glanced at the Primordial Spirit Pills. He had never heard of such elixirs, but seeing how excited the Profound Tier expert like White Crane was, they must be very precious.

"Xu Lin, Hou Hai, Ma Zhi, these are yours, try to break through to the Entry Level quickly."

Qin Yang took out three more Primordial Spirit Pills and handed them to the three of them.

"Zhao Hui, Wang Hu, Shen Dashan, you three temporarily do not need Primordial Spirit Pills, first fully absorb the medicinal power within you," Qin Yang said.

"Yes, boss."

Zhao Hui and the others replied in unison.

"White Crane, for the next few days, lead their training. Try to help them break through as soon as possible."

Qin Yang told White Crane.

"Yes, Mr. Qin."

Upon hearing this, White Crane nodded respectfully.

As for Qin Yang himself, he returned to his room. He needed a few days of seclusion. Earlier, he had given Sister Ruan and Little Cool Kid some talismans. He still had plenty of talisman paper and Spirit Blood, so he could refine some more talismans. By then, he'd be ready to take on the Celestial Sword Pavilion again.
