Upon hearing Han Li's words, the forgetful look on the old Taoist's face disappeared without a trace, and he calmed down again:
"It seems that fellow Taoist Han is planning to use this to blackmail Pindao."
"Blackmail? What you said is wrong. So far, I have not asked fellow Taoist for anything of substance. Instead, I have given away several rare soul stones. If fellow Taoist feels that it is not a good deal, the second question should be treated as Han
I have never asked. I will never take these soul stones back." Han Li said as usual.
Upon hearing this, Master Tianjing's expression froze, and then he became uncertain.
Han Li was not in a hurry and stood on the opposite side without any intention of urging him.
"With the puppet technique I gave you, you can roughly tell the truth from the false. But the words you said about the underworld beast, how do I know if they are lies?" After a while, the old Taoist said coldly.
"To be honest, fellow Taoist fellow Taoist would not be able to enter even if he knew about the land of the underworld beast. Not only is it extremely dangerous, but even if you are lucky enough to get in, you will never come back. Back then, I had to escape death with my life. However, even if you don't believe me,
As I said, the soul stones are genuine. If I use part of them to exchange for the puppet refining technique in your hands, my fellow Taoist will not suffer any loss. Otherwise, even if there is no puppet refining technique, what is the use without the soul stone?" Han Li
He said slowly and calmly.
After hearing these words, Master Tianjing frowned, with a look of hesitation on his face.
"Okay! I don't have the time to wonder whether the source of the soul stones you said is true or false. I just want to ask my friend, how many soul stones do you want to use in exchange for the puppet refining technique? If the number is too small, I'd better keep it for myself.
"The old Taoist weighed the pros and cons and finally said with a calm expression.
"It depends on the value of the ancient puppet technique provided by fellow Taoist. If you can only refine those puppets in the daytime, even if you show them to me for free, I won't be interested." Han Li felt happy in his heart.
His face remained calm.
"Those puppets I exchanged for things during the day are just defective products that I found in the ruins. From what my fellow Taoist said, it seems that the more powerful the puppets that can be refined, the more soul stones you will give." The old Taoist said.
He said with a strange look on his face.
"Yes! That's what I mean. If I can refine a puppet technique with a full-strength strike that is powerful above the Nascent Soul stage, I will just give the real person twenty or thirty soul stones, so what's the problem?" Han Li pursed his lips and said calmly.
"Are they all the same quality soul stones they were given at the beginning?" Master Tianjing asked seriously.
"Could it be that the ancient puppet technique can really create a puppet equivalent to a Nascent Soul monk?"
Han Li was surprised at first, then overjoyed, and said without hesitation:
"Since Han said it, it is definitely not a lie."
"Okay, these are the jade slips refined by the ancient puppet. There is no need to borrow anything, just give them to fellow Taoists." The old Taoist quickly took out a white jade slip from the storage bag and gave it directly to Han Li.
Then a hint of fox-like cunning appeared on his face.
Han Li was startled by the other party's actions. He vaguely felt that something was wrong. But after thinking about it, he picked up the jade slip politely and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness.
After a while, Han Li's face turned red and white. As soon as he withdrew his consciousness, he stared at Master Tianjing without saying a word.
"Why. Among the several types of puppets provided in this puppet technique, the most advanced one can even match the attack of a monk in the middle stage of Naoying. Doesn't it still meet the requirements of Taoist friends?" The old Taoist said with a smile.
"Hmph! Why doesn't it fit in? But the main material required by these puppets is actually something astonishing as ten thousand years of iron wood. There are also other auxiliary materials, not to mention rare, some of which I have never even heard of.
But, where should I go to find it?" Han Li looked annoyed.
"Hehe! I can't help you with this matter. However, aren't there pictures of various materials on it? Maybe my fellow Taoist has a good chance and has the opportunity to gather all the materials for the puppet?" Master Tianjing said slowly instead.
"Fellow Tianjing Daoist, have you found all the materials mentioned above? Otherwise, why would you collect soul stones everywhere?" To the old Taoist's surprise, the anger on Han Li's face quickly faded, and he immediately asked.
"When did Pindao say that he was going to refine the puppets himself? I just found two semi-finished high-level puppets in the ruins, and integrated the soul stone into them. Then they can be used. Why do it myself?
"Tianjing Zhenren said without changing his expression.
"You..." Han Li was speechless for a moment. This old man is really difficult to deal with!
"Okay, Pindao has handed over the puppet refining technique to fellow Taoist Han. That Pindao..."
"for you!"
Han Li didn't wait for the old Taoist to finish speaking with a faceless smile. He brushed his long sleeves on the table in annoyance. After a green light flashed, a small pile of soul stones appeared there out of thin air.
The crystal light is sparkling and eye-catching.
Master Tianjing was overjoyed, but felt a little embarrassed. When he wanted to say something else, Han Li waved his hand and said:
"This time Han accidentally suffered a loss. But he won't have any complaints. Now that everything is clear, I'll take my leave." Han Li cupped his hands and turned around and left the attic with a depressed look on his face.
Without even looking back.
The old Taoist looked at Han Li's retreating figure, first shook his head with squinted eyes, then nodded, and then calmly put all the crystals into the storage bag.
This time, there was another piece of puppet refining technique that was of no use at all, and in exchange for so many soul stones, he was naturally extremely satisfied.
With this pile of soul stones, it is enough to completely complete those half-finished puppets.
However, Han Li took out so many soul stones at once, which really surprised him, and he couldn't help but think highly of Han Li.
What the old Taoist didn't know was that Han Li, who was walking a few streets away, had long since had the depressed look on his face. Instead, he was fiddling with the white jade slip with one hand and wearing a strange smile.
Thousands of years of iron wood is unlikely to others, but it is not a problem for him. It just takes a little longer.
As for several other unnamed materials, if he remembered correctly, they seemed to be found in the remains of the puppets in the Xutian Temple.
If he is lucky, he should be able to piece together the materials for several puppets. Of course, in addition to these materials, there are also some other rare auxiliary materials, which will take some time to collect. These full-power attacks are almost equivalent to those of Nascent Soul monks.
, refined. It is naturally powerful. It can make the puppet technique that he has given up once again become one of his trump cards.
It is a pity that although the jade slips record several refining methods equivalent to the pill-forming monk's puppet.
But the materials used for this kind of lower-level puppets cannot be easily found in the world of immortality. Some of the materials have been extinct for unknown years. Otherwise, if you have five or six of these puppets at one time, you will not be able to deal with the Nascent Soul stage monks.
What kind of threat does it pose? But if hundreds of them can be refined like before, the Yuanying monks will still have to retreat three feet away.
However, Han Li could only think about this idea.
He knew without guessing that even if there were materials to refine such a pill-forming puppet, the cost of the materials would definitely be equivalent to the price of an ordinary magic weapon. Not to mention more than a hundred, even dozens of them, Han Li would not be able to afford them.
of.
In the past, he was almost bankrupt in refining hundreds of third-level puppets from Qianzhu Cult. He even sold many monster materials at that time to get enough money for the materials. But now they are different from these
Compared to puppets, they pale into insignificance.
Han Li thought with a wry smile in his heart. Then after identifying the person below, he went directly to the west gate of Khotan Tiancheng.
Although it was getting late now, to him, there was no difference between day and night. He would go to find the Gengjing master first.
Compared with refining foreign objects such as puppets, the most important thing to do is to increase the power of your own magic weapon.
After all, the potential for improving your natal magic weapon is endless.
I hope that the Geng Jing master’s conditions are not too excessive. It would be best if he could exchange for some demon pills.
Han Li could only think in a good direction.
…
Half a month later, the century-old trade fair was officially held. Many monks from all over the south of the world flocked to this city of monks.
The auction house in the city even auctioned various treasures on the second day of the trade fair.
The many rare items in the hall attracted many wealthy monks. A large number of high-level monks gradually poured into the auction house.
The auctions that lasted for several days made the auction hall extremely lively.
When today's auction came to an end, there were a few items that were particularly sought after by many high-level monks. Even some monks took advantage of the power of their sects and participated.
"Seven hundred and sixty thousand spiritual stones, this piece of Geng spirit was obtained by this fellow Taoist." A middle-aged monk standing at the front of the auction hall said with a smile on his face.
On the sandalwood table in front of him, there was an emerald green tray, with an inconspicuous pale golden ore the size of a walnut in it.
As a result, a monk with a vague face wearing a silver robe walked out of the stage with some excitement. After delivering the spirit stone, he took the Geng Jing away.
Han Li, who was also sitting in the audience, sighed softly. He suddenly stood up and walked out of the auction hall. No matter how precious the items in the auction below were, they had nothing to do with him.
That night, he easily found the Gengjing master with his spiritual consciousness. But what the other party wanted to exchange was actually a seventh-level beast egg or another legendary treasure refining material "Yi Shen Mud". Han
There was no Lidu, and after the conversation was ineffective, he could only return disappointed.
But from the opponent's mouth, Han Li also learned that the piece of Geng Essence was not big. Even if he got it, it was only enough to mix with seven or eight flying swords, and it was still not enough.
But despite this, when today's auction with Geng Jing's participation began, Han Li still participated.
But as soon as the price exceeded 500,000 spirit stones, Han Li gave up on it completely.
It seems that his Dagong Sword Formation will not be able to be used in a short period of time.
After leaving the auction house, Han Li did not go there again, but went around several markets. He took advantage of this trade fair to collect some materials for refining ancient puppets.
Although there are still a lot of materials missing, the cultivation of ten thousand-year iron wood also takes a lot of time and green liquid. It is impossible to refine the ancient puppet of the Nascent Soul stage immediately, but give him enough time, and after the puppet is refined in the future,
The strength can be greatly increased immediately.
Then, the Han Li people went straight to a corner of Tiantian City.
Today was already the fourth day of the trade fair. He remembered what Marquis Nanlong had told him, and he was a little curious, so he followed the place mentioned in the jade slip and walked for a while and found this place.
After Han Li briefly scanned the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness, he stood in front of a seemingly ordinary stone house.
On the surface, this stone house seems to be just two isolated rooms connected to each other, which is inconspicuous.
He walked over and pondered for a moment. Before he could raise his hand and knock on the door, the door rang softly and opened on its own in front of his surprised eyes.
A bearded man wearing a jade crown and purple robe walked out with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Han, you are finally here. Let me introduce some of my comrades to get to know you." Marquis Nanlong seemed to have known that it was Han Li who was standing outside the door. As soon as he stood in front of Han Li, he greeted him with a cheerful face.
