One day, I can rush into Yuanying and become a god, and I can find traces of the reincarnated bamboo.

If an opportunity arises and a piece of bamboo body is obtained, the petiole and the Qingxuan Iron Essence can be peeled off and used for the second time to refine a top-notch Pure Yang Sword.

…

"It has been pleasant to hide in the mountains these past few years, but it will soon be all in vain."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Ping stopped and stood up, sighing slightly.

After purchasing a large amount of Qingxuan Iron Essence on Bazhu Island, he only had tens of thousands of spiritual stones left.

Two years ago, he sent Xing Linnian to Broken Star Gate to deliver 40,000 spirit stones to the palace ancestor.

Gong Lingshan asked Xing Linnian to come back with a message, stating that the 110,000 she still owed must be paid in three installments within twenty years.

In order to seek stability, Chen Ping agreed without hesitation.

Resources are dead, people are alive, and time is still long. It's just a small amount of spiritual stone. After he advances to Yuan Dan, he has a lot of opportunities to get it back in double the amount.

Like Chen Ping, the Chen family also had a hard time.

He mobilized all the foundation-building monks to guard Haichang Island and not to go out to sea at will.

Without the help of high-level monks, the family's public wealth has been unable to make ends meet in recent years.

Under Chen Ping's instruction, five deacons including Chen Qiudong, Chen Hongjie, and Chen Ting jointly submitted a letter requesting a 60% reduction in salary, expressing their determination to tide over the difficulties with their families.

Chen Ping highly praised this and readily agreed, deciding that within the next ten years, both the Foundation Building and Qi Practicing tribesmen would only receive 40% of their original salary.

As soon as the news came out, although everyone in the family was very resentful, it effectively alleviated the stretched situation.

When the family's finances stabilized, Chen Ping successively gave Xue Yun some black goods and asked her to take them out and sell some of them.

There is no way, practicing puppetry is too resource intensive.

Coupled with various auxiliary items, it actually takes thousands of spirit stones to make an ordinary second-level puppet.

Fortunately, Chen Ping had killed several second-level monsters, and there was no shortage of the most important materials.

Naturally, the main materials for refining puppets are not only monster corpses, spiritual wood, ores, but even special elixirs with high-grade high-level patterns, etc. are all available.

However, the puppet essence technique he majored in, the method of making puppets recorded in it was mainly based on demon corpses, which was relatively simple, so Chen Ping did not deliberately collect other materials.

In the previous life of Tianyan Continent, a certain Nascent Soul Puppet Master’s natal puppet was a fifth-grade and five-marked Tiankou Blood Pill.

The Tiankou Blood Pill with one pattern is itself an extremely precious body-refining elixir. Taking one can directly increase the strength of the monk's body to the point where it can compete with the best killing weapons, not to mention the stunning and unique medicine with five patterns.

.

After the senior obtained the Tiankou Blood Pill with five lines of patterns, he did not choose to swallow it directly to strengthen his physical body.

Instead, he was transformed into a special-shaped natal puppet through the secret technique of puppet cultivation.

It is said that when that senior was fighting with someone of the same level, his Nascent Soul would often come out of his body and lift up the Heavenly Bandit Blood Pill, defeating his opponent completely.

Of course, the series of rumors about the Blood Pill Puppet were all heard by Chen Pingdao, and he didn't know whether they were true or false.

After years of studying and mastering the puppetry technique, Chen Ping felt somewhat confident in refining a second-level puppet.

So, four years ago, he spent several months and after more than a dozen failures, he finally successfully refined the first genuine second-level puppet.

With the appearance of this puppet, part of the resources in Chen Ping's storage ring disappeared out of thin air.

Because he initially collected the corpses of ten second-level monsters.

Including the five second-level fish monsters that were killed on the way back to Haichang from Bazhu Island, the early second-level six-eyed cage fish killed by Hailingmai, and the three late second-level bloody mantises tamed by Great Elder Yu.

, and the two-tailed dragon shark guarding the Yumist fairy tree in the trench.

His puppet-making skills were still in the exploratory stage, and he wasted the corpses of five fish demons and six-eyed cage fish before reluctantly using a blood-eating mantis as the main body to create a second-level low-grade puppet.

Yes, the Mantis King who was in the late second level during his lifetime, under Chen Ping's various magical and complex operations, his level dropped again and again, falling to the early second level.

Compared with the tigers and wolf puppets harvested at the Longxia Sect stronghold, not only are the details a little rougher, but their power is also slightly inferior.

But it also made Chen Ping smile happily. He rode the bloody mantis puppet for several days with great satisfaction before returning to the Heart Hall with much less interest.

It doesn't matter that a lot of monster corpses are wasted, after all, this is a good start.

After producing the first puppet, Chen Ping only had two bloody mantises and a two-tailed dragon shark at the second level of Dzogchen realm.

The dragon shark is the material he has high hopes for. The Yuanyan Islands has a vast sea area and is assisted by a high-level puppet who is proficient in water control. It is much more practical than a large spiritual boat.

However, during the battle with the Two-tailed Dragon Shark, the monster's body was severely damaged and had to be sewn up with gold silkworm and silver threads.

The Golden Silkworm and Silver Silk is a very rare third-level spiritual object, and it is difficult to find traces of it in the Chen Family Sea Area.

Besides, Chen Ping's puppet-making skills are quite unfamiliar at the moment, so it would be better to get some more monster beasts to practice.

During these seven long years, Chen Ping's cultivation and puppetry skills improved by leaps and bounds.

The complete opposite is the understanding of the way of the sword.

Even with the help of the inheritance left by the third step of sword cultivation, the progress is still extremely slow.

There are some gains, at any rate, the second level of swordsmanship has been pushed to the peak, but the critical finishing touch is missing before the sword can be combined.

In this regard, Chen Ping had no shortcut. He could only wait patiently for the Chunyang Five Elements Sword to be released, use the weapon to learn the law, and use the sword to repair the stone, and then take the third step.

In his spare time, Chen Ping opened up the pupil technique and the meridian circulation route of the real eye.

This technique is an upper-level Huangpin. It can detect hidden auras, distinguish true and false clones, and has a powerful restraint effect on illusions and charms.

The threshold for cultivating the true purpose of illusion is relatively high, and you need to establish the state of Dzogchen before you can practice it formally.

Relying on the experience of his previous life and the help of ten Erdao Heavenly Eye Pills, Chen Ping was able to cultivate this technique to a great level in just six months.

The Dacheng state is already his limit. It is not that easy to advance the illusory true eye to the Dzogchen.

Unless you take out the eyes of the seven souls and souls of the fourth-order giant spirit royal family in the golden bead space.

But what troubled him was that this item could also significantly improve physical fitness.

Is it worthwhile to swallow the eyes of seven souls and seven souls and cultivate a yellow-grade pupil technique to its peak?

"It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Without high-grade ore as a sacrifice, she can't even open the golden bead space."

After a moment of silence, the embarrassment on Chen Ping's face disappeared.

Then, Chen Ping's consciousness spread out and penetrated into a stone house.

In this empty and dark space, there was only a dark gray candlestick.

Looking at the burning core of the fire, it seems to be a puff of smoke that never disperses.

It is the soul lamp left by the great elder Chen Xiangwen!

This lamp was originally stored in the ancestral temple. A few years ago, Chen Ping specially brought it back to protect it.

It has been more than nine years since Chen Xiangwen left Haichang Island, and there is no news at all. It is not known whether he has the body to achieve Yuan Dan or not.

However, as long as the soul lamp is still on, it is the best news.
