"It's not about creating puppets." The young man had obviously thought of that as well.

If not for creating puppets, then what is it for? "Yin soldiers?" Xie Yuhua was somewhat uncertain.

The young man did not reply further, which seemed to indicate that he had tacitly accepted this explanation.

But if the methods used to refine a physical body are used to refine a soul, wouldn't that be consuming the soul? There's no logic in trying to confine the soul without binding the physical body.

Fortunately, the stone steps were fine except for being a little shaky. When Jieyuhua reached the other side, Heixiazi and the others hadn't been able to get up either. Since the path was so obvious, there was no need to wait any longer. Lingxiao said that the force attracting him was getting stronger and stronger, so he went straight into the hole behind the stone statue.

This is a completely natural cave, and it's hard to imagine that there would be a hot spring here; it's unheard of.

"It's not impossible. Thinking about it this way, it's quite a novel thing. From your description, it sounds like a demon's cave in Journey to the West. I really want to see it with my own eyes!" Ling Xiao said with a look of envy.

"I didn't know you were so curious, but I always feel like there are a lot of people here."

"Who's there?" Just as Jieyuhua finished speaking, a clear, melodious female voice came from inside, tinged with wariness and a hint of doubt. The owner of the voice seemed to be not far away, but because of the darkness, her face was obscured.

Upon hearing the voice, both Xie Yuhua and the young man instinctively gripped their weapons tighter. Xie Yuhua stared intently ahead, trying to make out the figure of the newcomer through the darkness. Finally, when the person was a certain distance away, Xie Yuhua could see her face clearly.

It was Ah Ning! Her eyes were alert and tense, and she held a sharp dagger in her hand, its blade gleaming coldly. Her gaze fell on Xie Yuhua, as if trying to determine whether he was friend or foe.

Then her gaze fell on Ling Xiao, her eyes changing from alertness and danger to confusion, and finally to a knowing look as she carefully examined Jieyuhua, before making a gesture.

As she made her gesture, the surrounding lights gradually brightened, illuminating the previously dark area. A group of people appeared one after another from nowhere. They were dressed uniformly and were orderly. It was obvious without a close look that these were Ah Ning's mercenaries.

They appeared in a very secluded place, surrounded by strangely shaped, unidentified rocks and stalactites, forming a natural barrier that completely concealed their figures.

These stones look like ancient bronze mirrors, with smooth and cold surfaces. When a person stands behind them, it's as if they are shielded. Behind these bronze mirror-like stones, the stalactites behind them are directly visible, like glass with impurities. When there is no one behind them and someone in front, they can act like bronze mirrors, which is quite rare.

In ancient times, this would definitely be a divine weapon of war. Jieyuhua, carrying Lingxiao on her back, stood in front of the stone, and Lingxiao's phantom image was quickly projected, startling A'ning.

After a moment, Ah Ning calmed down and pointed to the hot spring behind her, saying, "Put him in that hot spring, and you'll thank me." After saying this, she didn't say anything more, but just stood there quietly, waiting for the other party's actions, seemingly with some anticipation.

Xie Yuhua didn't really trust her. He had heard Wu Xie talk about this woman a few times, and each time he was angry. But the child also had dealings with her, and they had even cooperated at the foot of the mountain.

"Don't worry, this pool is good for preserving souls. Look, those are the corpses they pulled out of the pool. There are also other tomb raiders' marks around here. Ling Xiao helped me before, we're friends, I won't harm him." Seeing that Yu Hua was still wary, A Ning didn't have much patience to persuade her.
