Because the requirements for puppet masters were too high, Fang Changqing dismissed most of the trainee puppet masters, so the second floor, which was originally used as the puppet master's studio, had a lot of space.
But Fang Chang also recruited professional monks such as array masters, rune masters, and weapon refiners as supplements.
Therefore, instead of being empty, the second floor became increasingly crowded.
at this time.
The puppet masters, headed by Master Lu, the old monster of a hundred ghosts, were discussing excitedly with other monks in front of a big white cat puppet.
The big white cat has a pair of amber eyes, a light black king character on its forehead, and has snow-white hair all over its body. It lies lazily on the floor, sticking out its tongue full of barbs, and lazily looking at the people who are watching it.
That look is very spiritual, not even a bit like a puppet.
"This is the second-level puppet White Tiger. Why do I feel like a big cat?" A young puppet master asked.
"Master Jiang, you won't cut corners when refining, will you?"
Master Jiang's name is Jiang Wei. He is in his forties and is one of the senior weapon refiners that Qingniufang City has cooperated with for a long time.
Although he was only at the peak of Qi refining, he had an adventure in his early years and refined a kind of spiritual fire called Black Stone Heart Flame, which is one of the sources of top-grade magical weapons in Qingniufang City.
The reason why he was in the Puppet Building was mainly because of the face of Fang Chang, the second boss, and he briefly participated in it.
The strength of the second-level puppet's body is comparable to that of a spiritual weapon. Without his spiritual fire, it would be really difficult to handle.
Hearing the young puppet master's question, Jiang Wei did not get angry, but said cheerfully:
"I would like to reduce some ingredients, but this is a special instruction from Master Fang. I haven't had enough yet."
Who doesn’t know that the second boss of Qingniufang City is petty.
Others just talked about the owner of Dongdongfang, but he didn't even stay overnight and beat them up in front of the owner, making everyone apologize.
"And I can tell you that this white tiger is still ferocious. If you mess with it, no one here can stop it."
Jiang Wei has a good temper. After he came here, he got into a fight with everyone in the Puppet Tower, otherwise no one else would dare to joke with him.
"Tsk, tsk, obviously I was personally involved in every step of it, but when it actually appeared in front of me, I couldn't help but be amazed."
The hundred ghosts and old monsters sighed.
"The second-level puppet has various requirements and restrictions, but the most important thing is the spirit character. If I didn't have a complete puppet blueprint, I'm afraid I would go further and further away."
"That's right, if a puppet doesn't have its own spirituality, no matter how powerful it is, it's nothing more than a dead thing with an empty appearance.
The puppet master's mental power is not omnipotent. Without the spiritual cooperation of the puppet itself, how can it perfectly mobilize its power?
The stronger the power, the more spirituality is required, and perhaps the higher-level puppets will be no different from real people."
"Master Jiang, if I guess correctly, the spirituality of this white tiger puppet comes from the soul of the white tiger in the material."
Jiang Wei nodded and said: "That's right. If it weren't for the formations and runes you carved, I wouldn't have believed that I could actually refine the white tiger's soul into this dead thing."
The more Baigui Laogai looks at it, the more he realizes.
This kind of finished puppet is far more real than the feelings brought by a few words on paper.
If he hadn't known that the boss spent a lot of money to refine this second-level puppet, he would have wanted to ask the boss to keep it so that the group could study it carefully.
Fang Chang also walked up with Tiezhu at this time.
"What are you talking about? I heard your laughter from so far away."
"boss!"
"boss!"
"Master Fangfang!"
When the group saw Fang Chang, they quickly saluted and said hello.
As Fang Chang walked over, his eyes were immediately attracted to the big cat on the ground.
"Is this the white tiger you refined?"
He reached out and grabbed it.
"Master Fangfang, be careful!"
Master Jiang quickly reminded.
When he turned his palm over, a green and white bead appeared.
This is the soul bead that controls the second-level puppet. After refining, he can gain control of the puppet. Although he has not refined it, he can still influence the action of the puppet through the soul bead.
As soon as Fang Chang grabbed it with his palm, the originally lazy big cat's hair suddenly stood on end, it was about to roar, and its body suddenly swelled.
But a palm covered it like the sky, extinguishing all its power, leaving only a breeze.
The big cat, who was angry just now, whimpered and purred.
Fang Chang pinched the big cat's neck with one hand, then turned to ask.
"Master Jiang, what did you say?"
Jiang Wei swallowed and held the soul beads in both hands and offered them to him.
"Nothing, Master Fangfang, this is the soul bead of the White Tiger Puppet."
Fang Chang took the soul bead, spit out his magic power, and directly refined it, and soon he had more contact with the big cat in front of him.
He seemed to be able to sense the big cat puppet's emotions, anger, panic, and fear. He really couldn't believe that this was a puppet.
Fang Chang couldn't help but think of some puppet masters who treated their puppets as pets or wives when playing games.
Now I suddenly understand a little bit.
Perhaps this is the way to advance to high-level puppets.
Strength and spirituality are indispensable.
Then the iron pillar that has given birth to a complete spirituality has eliminated a big bottleneck in advance.
My sister Tiezhu looks like an emperor!
"White tiger soul, spirituality?"
Fang Chang hugged the white tiger puppet like a kitten, stroking its soft hair with his palms. Like Master Lu, he thought of one of the materials for refining the second-level puppet.
"Master Lu, how long does it take you to refine the White Tiger Puppet?"
Master Lu had a look of shame on his face.
"Boss, our cultivation level is too low, and it is still difficult to process the materials for the second-level puppet. Even if we work together, it will probably take three to five months to refine a white tiger puppet, and there is also the possibility of failure."
"in addition."
Master Jiang interjected: "The white tiger soul required for this white tiger puppet is extremely rare. We spent a long time on the market to find a soul that met the requirements.
The ordinary white tiger soul is simply not strong enough.
According to the monk who sold it, the white tiger had swallowed some heavenly and earthly treasures before it was alive. It had already turned into a demon and had the cultivation level of the late stage of Qi refining.
Not to mention the possibility of failure, just the materials are not available."
Fang Chang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, there will be more and more demon tigers in the future."
"But your cultivation level is a problem."
After thinking for a while, Fang Chang looked at Master Lu and said:
"Master Lu, although you have not served Puppet House for ten years, the plan is better to change. As long as you are willing to sign a contract with Puppet House for another twenty years, the building will lend you some spiritual stones without interest and auction them this year.
You have one of the foundation-building pills in the field.
Do you want to?"
Master Lu didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.
"I do!"
"I have also saved some spiritual stones over the years, which should be enough."
The Puppet Building provides such a favorable research environment without too many restrictions. For a technical geek like him, it doesn't matter if he doesn't pay.
"As for the others, as long as you make the same contribution to the building as Master Lu, everyone will have a share of the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Fang Chang gave some words of encouragement to the other young puppet masters.
Regardless of whether it can be realized or not, the cake is drawn first.
"Thank you boss!"
"Long live the boss!"
The other young puppeteers all cheered.
As for Master Jiang, he doesn't have much envy. As a senior weapon refiner who can refine high-grade magic weapons, he is not short of a foundation-building pill spiritual stone.
But he was a little unlucky. He had spent a lot of money to buy a foundation-building pill before, but the foundation-building pill failed.
At this point, he has been laying a solid foundation and waiting for the next opportunity.
As the number of Foundation Establishment failures increases, resistance to the Foundation Establishment Pill will develop, and the effect will become worse and worse.
Therefore, if you generally fail to build a foundation three times, you will basically miss the opportunity to build a foundation.
