I exchanged sects with the real daughter, and I ascended to heaven to offer sacrifices to her

Ye Qingning already had a plan in mind. He readjusted his breathing, calmed his mind and concentrated on using his divine power of clairvoyance to the fullest extent.

The range of vision also began to expand rapidly, penetrating the constraints of the earth, continuously extending downward, through layers of soil and rocks, and penetrating into every inch of land in the Ye Mansion.

Time passed slowly, and Ye Qingning scanned every corner of the underground, not missing any details.

Just when Ye Qingning almost thought that his guess was wrong, suddenly, a strange energy fluctuation came from deep underground.

This unusual movement was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, forming a circle of faint ripples. Ye Qingning could even clearly see the surging airflow.

I couldn't help but feel shocked.

Further down is the Ye family's land vein.

The earth veins are hidden deep in the earth and are the foundation of a family's rise and fall.

The earth veins contain abundant spiritual power, and its core lies in its ability to provide a steady supply of spiritual energy for the practitioners of the entire family.

It also breeds abundant rare resources such as spiritual stones, spiritual plants, spiritual minerals, spiritual water, etc. These resources are the indispensable cornerstones for a family's prosperity.

The heads of all the major immortal families have regarded protecting the earth veins as their primary responsibility, and usually never allow anyone to enter the earth veins.

Even the elders of the Ye family need to obtain unanimous approval from the clan elders before they can step into the underground veins.

The unusual movement just now was by no means accidental, but more likely caused by human beings.

Ye Qingning continued to look deeper, following the energy fluctuations to track their source, and finally touched a secret space hidden deep in the earth veins.

Ye Xin was really cunning. He actually built an underground space in the land veins of the Ye Mansion.

The light here is dim, and the space is supported by rows of huge stone pillars. The surrounding stone walls are engraved with complex runes, emitting a faint red light.

In addition, there are pieces of strange rune stones placed on the ground, which complement the runes on the wall to form a kind of formation.

Ye Qingning attended the formation class on time and also studied various formations, especially in the final showdown of the Immortal Gate Competition, when Shen Xuanli found an ancient book "The Map of the All-Seeing Formation" in a palace in the underwater ruins and asked her to remember the contents of the book.

She had actually seen the formation formed before her eyes in the Wanxiang Formation Diagram.

This formation is called "Tianling Puppet Formation". It not only has the function of gathering spiritual energy, but also can enhance the defense and attack capabilities of the puppets.

In addition, this formation can completely conceal the puppet's breath, making it difficult for outsiders to detect it. It can also suppress the puppet and make it more obedient. It is a rare auxiliary formation.

Ye Qingning continued to explore the basement and noticed at a glance that there were many puppets of different stages of production placed in the formation.

Some of these puppets lay quietly like the living dead, some were incomplete, like defective products from a failed refining process, with twisted limbs and empty eyes, and some were only one step away from completion.

Among them are not only spirit puppets, but also demon puppets and devil puppets.

The reason why Ye Qingning was able to recognize them was because these puppets each emitted an aura of a different color.

A faint blue light surrounded the spirit puppet, as if there was a breath of life flowing in it. The demon puppet was surrounded by circles of strange dark purple air, and its eyes were cunning and fierce.

The demon puppet's body was surrounded by black and red demonic energy, emitting a heart-pounding evil power. Its eyes were red, and strange dark red runes were shining on its body.

It was the first time that Ye Qingning saw a magic puppet. She couldn't help but think about what she would look like if she became a magic puppet in Ye Xin's hands, and a chill rose in her heart.

The next second, a man in a black robe was seen moving between the puppets.

The man's face was hidden under a large hood. Even underground, only a small half of his face below his nose was exposed, and his true appearance could not be seen.

The man's figure moved among the puppets like a ghost, his footsteps blending silently with the shadows around him.

Every time he passed by a puppet, he would stand there in a daze for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qingning saw the black-robed man roaring angrily at a demon puppet that was about to be refined. His hysterical appearance was even more insane than that of a mad woman.

It seemed that he was extremely dissatisfied with the demon puppet in front of him. He waved his hand and sent out a fiery red spiritual power, which directly blasted the demon puppet that was about to be refined into pieces, and splashed it everywhere.

Then he released a ball of fire spiritual power, and the flames instantly devoured the shattered demon puppet, turning it directly into ashes from the debris.

Seeing this, Ye Qingning was sure that the man in black robe was the puppet master who escaped a hundred years ago, and the person Su Ye was looking for.

Suddenly, the puppet master seemed to have noticed something and suddenly raised his head to look in Ye Qingning's direction.

His gaze collided directly with Ye Qingning's, and their eyes met.

Ye Qingning suddenly felt a chill, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he immediately put away his magical powers.

Inside the house, the golden light in Ye Qingning's eyes faded away, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Logically speaking, using the clairvoyance is different from releasing spiritual consciousness to explore, and it will not be discovered.

But this person was extremely sharp and alert, and could actually sense something. He was worthy of being the puppeteer who made a sensation in the cultivation world a hundred years ago.

It seems that it is not appropriate to take action today. New Year's Eve may be a suitable time.

In the past two days, while Old Man Zhou was treating Ye Xin, he had to boil medicine for Ye Xin, so she had to find an opportunity to put the True Word Gu in him.

Once Old Man Zhou left, she would have to leave as well, and she would have no chance to cast the curse.

*

Ye Qingning removed the barrier. Two hours later, Dianpo knocked on the door and told her that Old Man Zhou had finished treating Ye Xin and was making medicine for him in the kitchen.

Ye Qingning had to praise this point. In his previous life, whenever someone from the sect came to Old Man Zhou for treatment, he would personally prepare medicine for them as long as they were treated by Old Man Zhou.

Others might not have the chance to get close to her, but with Xie Jibai's appearance, she still had a chance to tamper with the medicine.

In his previous life, Old Man Zhou passed on his medical skills to Xie Jibai, and this life would be no exception, so the job of boiling medicine would be done by Xie Jibai as well.

Ye Qingning pondered secretly in his heart, but remained calm as he followed Dianpo to the kitchen in Ye Xin's courtyard.

In the kitchen, a little old man with silver hair and ordinary clothes was standing by the fire intently, fanning himself gently with a palm-leaf fan in his hand, and a bitter smell emanated from the medicine jar.

When Ye Qingning took the blood from the Dian Po's heart, although she guessed that Zhou Hanshi would come to save the Dian Po, she did not see Zhou Hanshi. This was the first time she saw her master in her previous life, and her heart was slightly moved.

Although Old Man Zhou's philosophy of teaching his disciples is different from that of others, he teaches his disciples carefully. In her eyes, he is a good master worthy of respect.

"Master." Ye Qingning stepped forward and called out in a low voice, imitating Xie Jibai's tone and demeanor.
