Then, the tower spirit said again, "These three corpse puppets were refined by the old monster, and they still contain his spiritual power mark. You need to erase the marks inside first, and then plant your own spiritual power mark.
Being able to control them..."
Xiao Nuo frowned slightly, "Are there so many complicated steps?"
"Of course, although corpse refining is a side art, it cannot be mastered casually. There are many skills involved."
"Then what do I do next?"
"I can help you erase the spiritual power imprint on it, but you need to plant the new spiritual power imprint yourself..."
After hearing what the tower spirit said, Xiao Nuo knew nothing about corpse refining. ??
I don't know what's going on with this kind of thing.
Ta Ling continued, "If you look through those secret books, you should find a method for spiritual imprinting. Generally speaking, it's not too difficult."
"Let me look for it..." Xiao Nuo turned his eyes and looked at several secret books on how to refine corpse puppets placed on the table. These books were a little worn and even yellowed.
He flipped through one of the secret books and saw densely packed fonts and various patterns that looked like ghostly symbols...
Xiao Nuo shook his head secretly. It seemed that not everyone could learn the "Corpse Refining Technique", and the content inside was confusing even to the eyes.
After about half an hour, Xiao Nuo finally found the method of planting the spiritual brand from a booklet.
It was a miniature magic circle that had never been seen before.
This magic circle is composed of about eight or nine mysterious runes. By condensing the runes and then arranging and combining them, a halo-shaped magic circle is finally formed. Xiao Nuo has not studied magic, so these few
Of course I can’t understand the runes either…
"Ta-ta!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Nuo's thoughts were interrupted.
"who?"
"It's me..." Yanying's voice came, "Grandpa asked me to give you some spiritual fruits. He said they just arrived today and they can help you sleep."
Xiao Nuo hesitated for a moment, then stood up and opened the door.
Outside the door, Yanying was as small as a kitten. She was holding a golden-orange fruit in one hand. Although she didn't know what kind it was, it looked quite attractive.
"Huh? It's so late, what are you still studying?"
Yanying tilted her head and saw the table full of things.
Xiao Nuo didn't want Yanying to see these items, but the other party walked inside casually.
"Rune..." Xiao Nuo said perfunctorily, and casually said, "Do you understand?"
"What rune? Let me see..."
Yanying asked.
Xiao Nuo casually pointed to the miniature magic circle on the book.
Yanying leaned her head forward, glanced at it, and said, "It's very simple! Isn't this just a dark control rune?"
Xiao Nuo was startled.
When he heard the other party say "simple", Xiao Nuo didn't believe it, but when he heard the words "control type", he couldn't help but change his mind.
"You can actually read runes?"
"Ang!" Yanying nodded, "In the past, when my grandfather had no time to pay attention to me, he would leave me alone in the 'Book Pavilion' in the mansion. There are many ancient books and strange records in it, as well as various magician's manuals.
Gradually, I learned to read it myself, but I can only understand it, but I have never used it..."
"Why not?" Xiao Nuo asked curiously.
"My spiritual power is too weak..." Yanying felt a little lonely. "I have grown slower than others since I was a child, and the spiritual power accumulated in my body is also weak, so I cannot use those spells!"
Xiao Nuo just thought
Yanying is already fifteen years old, but she still looks like she is in her early teens.
"Do you want to learn it? Although these dark runes are quite advanced, they are relatively small in number. With your cultivation level, you can easily condense them..." Yanying asked, pointing to the book on the table.
Xiao Nuo raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you can teach me!"
"No problem!" Yanying smiled lightly. She put the two spiritual fruits on the table, then moved a stool to sit next to it.
"This rune reads 'Gou' and can be condensed like this..."
Immediately, Yanying pointed to the first rune and started teaching in a formal manner.
Xiao Nuo still had some doubts, but after receiving the affirmation from the tower spirit, he was completely relieved.
"The second rune reads 'rust', and it's used like this..."
Yanying taught in detail, and Xiao Nuo also studied very attentively.
It took about an hour for Yanying to finish explaining all the runes, and then Yanying began to teach Xiao Nuo how to arrange the runes according to the instructions in the book...
There is no doubt that Xiao Nuo has always failed in the past.
It can convert spiritual power into runes, but there will be problems during the arrangement process.
Seeing Xiao Nuo's clumsy way, Yan Ying couldn't help laughing.
However, she did not dampen Xiao Nuo's enthusiasm, but kept encouraging him.
"Don't be impatient. You must be patient when learning spells. Just take your time..."
Xiao Nuo laughed dumbly. It felt a bit strange to be "educated" by a little girl.
Time passes minute by minute.
Xiao Nuo didn't know how many times he failed.
But as he slowly adjusted, Xiao Nuo's techniques gradually became more proficient.
It's late at night.
"Buzz!"
When a steady wave of spiritual power spread out from Xiao Nuo's palm, a dark miniature magic circle appeared in front of Xiao Nuo.
This magic circle is like a small halo, with a dark talisman light swaying on it. It rotates slowly in front of Xiao Nuo's palm, and is mysterious in its simplicity.
"Success!"
Xiao Nuo was overjoyed. He looked at Yanying subconsciously, but she fell asleep on the table at some point. In her sleep, her expression was relaxed, her facial lines were soft, and her long eyelashes were fluttering gently, which made people feel...
Can't bear to disturb.
Xiao Nuo smiled knowingly and immediately asked the tower spirit, "Is this enough?"
"Just do it!" Ta Ling replied.
In fact, if you want to control these three corpse puppets, the most important step is to erase the marks left by the old monster Sheluo on them. As long as the marks are erased, the three corpse puppets will be truly ownerless...
…
Of course, the tower spirit will complete this step.
"I'll start clearing the mark now, you just need to put your own mark on it!"
"I see!"
"start!"
Immediately, the Hongmeng Golden Pagoda in Xiao Nuo's body released a special wave of power, and then a ray of holy golden light swept out.
The golden light flew directly into the black scroll that sealed the three puppets.
"Wow!"
In an instant, a gorgeous light pattern spread on the surface of the scroll. The next moment, Xiao Nuo clearly saw three wisps of black smoke coming out of the scroll and quickly disappearing...
"That's it!" Ta Ling said.
Xiao Nuo has quick eyesight and quick hands. He uses the spiritual power in his body and directly touches the palm of his hand.
The black halo penetrated the scroll.
"Buzzing..."
Strong spiritual energy surged out from under Xiao Nuo's palm, and as the whole table shook slightly, Yanying, who was sleeping soundly beside her, couldn't help but let out a dreamy sound.
"call out!"
At about five numbers, the black halo merged into the scroll, and Xiao Nuo felt that a large amount of spiritual power had been absorbed.
Immediately afterwards, the light converged, the spiritual energy subsided, and Xiao Nuo clearly sensed three cold auras inside the scroll.
These three breaths are connected to Xiao Nuo's thoughts, and now they can be summoned with just a thought.
"It's finally done!"
Xiao Nuo closed the scroll with satisfaction and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
This small magic formation consumed a lot of effort.
Xiao Nuo looked at Yanying. She had almost been awakened just now, but now she was sleeping soundly again, and she was snoring slightly.
I glanced at the sky outside the window and saw that it would be dawn in about half an hour...
Xiao Nuo found a pill to restore Qi, blood and spirit from several pill bottles. After swallowing it, he spent most of his energy and slowly began to recover.
Afterwards, Xiao Nuo sorted out some spells and a few magic weapons and props that might be useful, and then waited for dawn to set off.
…
In the morning, the sky is slightly bright!
Yanying, lying on the table, opened her somewhat sleepy eyes.
She looked at the furnishings in front of her and the blanket covering her body, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"I am..."
Yanying immediately remembered that she came to see Xiao Nuo last night. After teaching him a few runes, she fell asleep in a daze.
At this moment, the room has been tidied up, but Xiao Nuo is nowhere to be found.
"Where are the people?"
Yanying stood up, holding the thin blanket in her hand, turned around and opened the door.
The sky outside is still gray, and there is still a hint of coolness in the air.
On the corridor outside the door, a familiar figure walked slowly.
"Grandpa..." Yanying walked towards that person, who was the old city lord Yan Beishan. "Where is Xiao Nuo?"
Yan Beishan replied, "He just left!"
"Gone?" Yanying was surprised.
"Well! He said you were still resting, so he didn't wake you up..."
"I……"
Yan Ying pursed her lips and looked a little weird. She thought Yan Beishan would scold her for spending the night in someone else's room, but he didn't.
Apparently Xiao Nuo had already told Yan Beishan the reason.
"Then has he returned to the Piaomiao Sect?" Yanying asked.
Yan Beishan shook his head, "He said he was going out to do something, but he didn't say where he was going."
"Alas!" Yanying sighed softly.
"Why sigh?"
"He seems to be very busy all the time, so busy that he doesn't even have time to rest." Yanying said.
"yes!"
Yan Beishan put his hands behind his back, looked up at the pale eastern sky, and said earnestly, "This is what it means to move forward with a heavy burden. If you want to be reborn, you must keep moving forward... Others only saw him in the first year of his career."
He became the number one in the inner sect, but I didn’t see him pursuing opportunities all the time..."
After listening to what Yan Beishan said, Yan Ying seemed to have realized something. She suddenly said, "Grandpa, take me to the 'Ancient Spiritual Tree'!"
"oh?"
"I also want to practice hard, and I also want to become stronger!"
Looking at Yanying's determined eyes
Yan Beishan smiled in relief, and then nodded.
…
"Bah!"
Xiao Nuo, who left Holy Tree City, drove a snow-winged eagle through the clouds and mist.
Xiao Nuo was quite well prepared for this trip to Night Hell Valley, at least much better than the last time he went to Qi Yan Palace.
"According to the map, it will take ten days to get to Night Hell Valley. During this period, I just let the Golden Crow's ground fire swallow up other fire types..."
Xiao Nuo didn't intend to just sit idle on the way.
With a thought in his mind, he first took out a charm.
"Crack!"
As the talisman was crushed, a burst of spiritual power was released, and a ring-shaped wall of air appeared outside Xiao Nuo's body.
The wall of air surrounded Xiao Nuo at 360 degrees, and the airflow on the eagle's back was also blocked.
This charm is called "Dust Avoidance Talisman". Its effect is to block the intrusion of sand, dust, heavy rain, airflow and other objects. Although the space is not large, it is definitely comfortable...
Then, Xiao Nuo took out the fire seeds of the Golden Crow Falling Flame and another group of strange flame fire seeds.
Under Xiao Nuo's control, the Golden Crow Fire Flame began to devour and fuse with the fire.
…
Time passes day by day.
Xiao Nuo moved forward almost non-stop. Only when the Snow-winged Eagle was tired from flying would he find a place to rest temporarily.
Ten days passed quickly.
During this period, the Golden Crow's ground flames swallowed up and refined two balls of strange flames, which were suspended in Xiao Nuo's palm, looking particularly gorgeous.
The golden flames danced like wings of light, and in the center of the flames, the shadow of the dreamy bird was extremely bright.
This flame, like being separated from the sun, releases a powerful heat wave.
"Bah!"
At this time, the Snow-winged Eagle under Xiao Nuo let out a loud and long roar.
Xiao Nuo's eyes flashed. He looked down and saw that the mountains were like dragons, the forests were like seas, and the clouds were vast. At a glance, there were endless mountains and forests...
"arrive!"
Xiao Nuo put away the fire of the Golden Crow Falling Flame, stood up, and removed the air wall.
According to Xuan Guili's map, Night Hell Valley is hidden among the hundreds of thousands of mountains and forests below.
The mountain forest below is very huge, covering a very wide area, and is blocked by thick smoke and miasma. It is even more infested with poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and there are even mountain monsters wandering around. It is quite dangerous for outsiders to break in alone.
However, there are many villages in the outer areas of the mountain forest.
The villagers in those villages have lived here for generations. They hunt, collect firewood, plant crops, and basically live a self-sufficient life. They have summed up a set of experiences in walking in the mountains and forests. If you can get their guidance, you can avoid
Driving a lot of dangerous ones...
Xiao Nuo stood on the back of the eagle, overlooking the mountains below. Soon, he found a village.
Looking from a distance, there are about two to three hundred households in the village, as well as fertile vegetable fields...
In order to prevent the snow-winged eagle from disturbing the villagers, Xiao Nuo chose to land on a nearby high ground.
"Bah!"
Immediately, the Snow-winged Eagle blew up a whirlwind, causing dust and fallen leaves to fly on the ground. Xiao Nuo jumped down and landed firmly on the ground.
Xiao Nuo walked towards the village alone. As for the Snow-winged Eagle, it would go looking for food nearby.
This snow-winged eagle is a flying mount brought by Xiao Nuo from the Piaomiao Sect. It has been domesticated by the sect since it was a child, and no one needs to worry about it in any aspect.
A moment later, Xiao Nuo arrived outside the village. At first, it felt normal. But when Xiao Nuo entered the village, he felt something strange...
