Chapter 118 Ninth Floor (Congratulations to Silver!)
Underground cave.
Wow!
As a mature demon tree, after discovering that the cave had begun to become narrow, it had learned to dig downwards with its roots while throwing a large amount of earth into the lake.
Fang Xi ignored the Demon Tree and went to learn construction techniques. She just gave some pointers and asked the Demon Tree to support and reinforce it. Don't dig out the entire Emerald Cliff and let it do what it wanted.
At this time, he was looking at the 'human puppet' in front of him!
This human puppet looks exactly like Mu Wen, with a gray complexion and even some wooden textures on the surface of the skin.
From time to time, you can see some tree roots, and people can go in and out of them.
"Get up!"
"go ahead!"
"jump!"
Fang Xi is not proficient in puppetry, but uses the ability of the demon tree to control the demon servants for secondary control.
It is equivalent to using the insect king to control the slave insects, which feels quite lagging and insensitive.
"Luck!"
But at this moment, Fang Xi's eyes moved and she gave an order.
As soon as Mu Wen pinched the magic formula, a layer of spiritual light appeared on the surface of his body, and a mana wave of five levels of Qi refining exploded!
"This person originally had the sixth level of Qi Refining. After being made into a puppet, his level dropped and he only has the fifth level of Qi Refining!"
Fang Xi thought for a while and issued the order again.
Whoosh!
Mu Wen pinched the magic formula, and the black dagger weapon roared, turned into a black light and shot out, sinking deeply into the rock wall!
"You actually retained your cultivation level and the ability to control magic weapons?"
Fang Xi was very surprised by this.
In this case, doesn't it mean that he can control a dense army of 'human puppets'?
If many monks in the late stage of Qi refining form a formation, they can fight even if they build foundations!
But the next moment, Fang Xi realized something was wrong.
Mu Wen's method of operating magic weapons is very sluggish and lacks agility and change, which is very fatal in battle.
'This feels like...even if he has the fifth level of Qi Refining, he might not be able to defeat Hai Dagui...and it is too troublesome to have me control and give orders all the time.'
'The attack power is five levels of Qi refining, but the defense is too poor. After all, it is a human body, and it doesn't know how to dodge. I have to pay attention at all times... But I control it indirectly through the demon tree, and the delay is very terrible.
...'
At this time, Fang Xi also felt the difference between her wooden puppet technique and the orthodox puppet technique.
The orthodox puppet art inheritance not only has methods of making puppets, but also methods of manipulating puppets to respond to the enemy!
Among them, even the method of controlling puppets is even more important!
After all, a monk's spiritual consciousness is limited, and non-puppet masters can control only one or two puppets at most.
But the puppet master can distract himself and control an army of puppets!
It can even inject ‘puppet soul’ into high-level puppets to make them possess certain intelligence!
"Actually, strong spiritual consciousness has a great bonus on puppetry. Unfortunately, I have never acquired the inheritance of puppetry..."
There might be one in Lingkongfang City, but Fang Xi couldn't go there at this time!
After some experiments, Fang Xi confirmed the detailed data of the human puppet Mu Wen and shook her head, feeling quite regretful.
The attack is too rigid, and there is a delay in issuing orders...
It is completely different from the orthodox puppetry technique of controlling puppets.
Moreover, once it is made into a 'human puppet', it can no longer be cultivated and improved.
"After all, I am indirectly controlled through the demon tree. I am unable to perform many of the delicate operations of a puppet master in manipulating a puppet. It is understandable and understandable... I will find another puppetry technique to practice in the future, which may make up for it..."
"But the 'wooden puppet technique' is not without its benefits. The first is that the number is huge. As long as there are enough demon tree seeds, you can control as many as you want!"
"Second, the materials used are simple, as long as a complete corpse is enough... It is not a dream to form an army of monks in the future."
Fang Xi touched her chin, feeling that if she continued like this, she would definitely be on the path of demonic cultivation and never return, and eventually everyone in the world of immortal cultivation would cry out for beatings.
"Actually, you can think in another direction. The human puppets made by monks are not of good quality, but the 'beast puppets' made by monsters are very good!"
Because most monsters have rough skin, thick flesh, and higher defenses, these characteristics can be retained after being made into puppets!
In this way, the commands conveyed can be as simple as possible!
Moreover, the monster material is strong and not easily damaged, so the fault tolerance rate is high!
"Is it an army of puppet beasts? It's a direction..."
Fang Xi touched her chin: "We also need to consider the problem of the demon tree seeds leaking out. Can we use puppetry to create some mechanisms inside the puppet? Once the puppet is damaged, we can directly destroy the demon tree seeds?"
"This plan is quite good, all it needs is a puppet technique to be passed down..."
Although the demonic tree species had been downgraded, Fang Xi still did not want the seeds to escape.
After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly felt that there was a lot to be done, and I was ready to put this plan on the back burner.
After all, he can't go out to collect a large number of fresh monster corpses now.
"As for you?"
Fang Xi looked at Mu Wen and let the roots in his body poke out and meet on his face, forming a vine mask.
"From today on, you will be called 'Jiayi', and you will be responsible for guarding the underground caves."
Jiayi immediately stood on the edge of the cave wall, like a statue...
…
No one on Peach Blossom Island paid much attention to the news about the head of the Mu family.
The world of immortality is still very realistic. A loser will go away to a foreign country. Unless the king returns one day, he will only be gradually forgotten by everyone.
While some members of the Mu family left Peach Blossom Island, some members continued to work hard on Peach Blossom Island, returning to the state of rootless duckweeds...
The one who is more famous than Mu Wen is undoubtedly the ‘Silver Armor Demon’!
Because this person repeatedly escaped from the foundation-building cultivators, his reputation became more and more popular. He even formed a robbery cultivator force and fought against the joint law enforcement team of the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance one after another, resulting in terrible killings!
Nowadays, the evil name can almost stop children from crying at night!
But for a monk who only lives in hiding and never goes to the market, no matter how high his reputation is, it is just like that.
On the other hand, Hai Dagui was still worried about his friend Lu Guo day and night, praying that he would not face the silver-armored demon...
…
Five years later.
In the training room.
Fang Ximo practiced the 'Changchun Jue' technique and felt that the magic power in the Dantian Qi sea was surging, automatically overflowing, and opening up a new operating channel.
This breakthrough was natural and very smooth and silky.
"I have been planting trees for twenty years. I am forty-three years old this year and have broken through the ninth level of Qi refining!"
Fang Xi is quite satisfied with her progress.
Breaking through the first level of cultivation in five years was mainly due to the aura environment of Emerald Cliff.
The Jade Cliff spiritual veins are just not in the flow, but through the 'spirit gathering' effect of Xiaoyunyu Formation, the spiritual energy environment inside the training room is barely raised to the first level of low-grade.
For monks in the late stages of Qi refining, they must have at least a first-level high-grade spiritual vein to be considered suitable for cultivation.
In addition, Fang Xi did not take many pills to enhance her magic power.
After all, if you swallow too many elixirs, your foundation will easily become unstable, which will have some impact on your ability to break through to great realms in the future.
"In addition, alchemy has been steadily improved to the first level of high-level, but the formation has been stuck in the middle level, stuck at a pass."
Regarding this, Fang Xi was also very helpless.
When he was studying the formation, he encountered a problem and could only think hard.
On the contrary, as long as there are enough materials for alchemy, with his current state of consciousness, he can push it all the way, at least in the Qi refining stage...
Therefore, Fang Xi has focused on alchemy in recent years, putting formations second.
As for the way of talismans? He was promoted to the first-level mid-level without knowing it, and he didn’t know if he understood the effect of the silver incomplete runes condensed by Yimu Dharmakaya on a daily basis. Anyway, Fang Xi felt that he was particularly talented in drawing wooden talismans, and he succeeded.
The rate is higher than other talismans.
The final skill of refining weapons is still not good... and has been completely abandoned.
Fang Xi walked out of the training room and looked at the blue and white scarab beetles. Now, the insect room was full of jasper beetles with blue and white backs. There was no trace of the black-striped scarab beetles anymore.
Even the Insect King has been promoted to the first-level mid-level due to long-term use of ‘animal food pills’!
The wine cellar is also full of various spiritual wines, with vintages ranging from one year to several years. The longest batch has been aged for twenty years!
This kind of spirit wine is like amber in color and can be picked out with tachyons. It is the favorite of some immortal cultivators who are greedy for what is in the cup!
Even if the grade is not high, you can still win by virtue of taste and sell a large number of spiritual stones.
On the Emerald Cliff, a total of twenty acres of various spiritual fields have been reclaimed, as well as five acres of medicinal fields.
Among them, the oldest batch of 'blood grass' and 'snake orchid fruit' are already ten years old and can be directly sold as spiritual stones. They can also be used as auxiliary materials for some first-level mid-grade or even high-grade elixirs.
"So, as long as a cultivator owns the spiritual land, doesn't engage in hunting and kills, and concentrates on farming, he can actually accumulate resources quite quickly..."
After Fang Xi inspected various places, she came to the edge of the pond with a fierce look in her eyes.
Even now, the big herring is still a first-class mid-grade fish!
"The ten-year period has come. If you fail to seize the last opportunity, you can only blame yourself!"
He drew out his golden dragon knife and was about to send the big herring on his way with one blow.
suddenly!
The big herring jumped, and the demonic aura overflowed from its body, pulling the aura around it and forming a small whirlpool!
"Is this...an advanced step?"
The corners of Fang Xi's eyes twitched slightly: "Is it true that we have reached the limit before we break through? Is this fish more stubborn than me?"
Just as he was sighing, the big herring swallowed a large amount of spiritual energy, and its size soared to more than two meters long. Even the species seemed to have changed. It was closer to the slender catfish and eel, and the two green dragon whiskers became more and more slender.
…
"The first-grade top-grade Sapphire Carp King, nicknamed 'Little Green Dragon'..."
Looking at the big herring that looked more like a blue water snake, Fang Xi smiled ferociously: "I've finally advanced... I've been wanting to drink 'Blue Dragon Soup' for a long time!"
Wow!
The big herring that was enjoying itself in mid-air was dumbfounded and fell directly into the pond, causing a lot of splashes.
Didn’t he say that if he advanced, he would avoid death?
Why do you want to use it to stew soup instead?
Could this be life?!
Compared to the cunning humans, it is still too naive!
