Chapter twenty-eight, the place where the heavens and the earth cry
Although I can change my appearance, it is not always easy to travel in disguise.
Lin Xi felt that this was not possible.
I haven't committed any crime, so what should I be afraid of?
But he began to think about a problem. After all, his level was still too low and he couldn't control the spiritual weapon at all. It would be really tricky if he ran into trouble.
It is not a problem for disciples at the seventh or eighth level of Qi refining.
If you are a disciple above the tenth level of Qi refining, it will be very difficult.
If you encounter an opponent in the foundation building stage again, you will have no power to resist.
You have to get yourself some trump cards.
Lin Xi used the Shape Changing Technique to transform into a sickly man with a sallow complexion, and then left her small courtyard.
He found Xia Chengfeng.
Xia Chengfeng looked puzzled: "Who are you?"
"It's me." Lin Xi showed her true face.
"Junior Brother Lin, why are you wearing makeup like this?"
"Isn't this why I have a bad reputation recently?"
"Ahem, that's true." Xia Chengfeng also knew the whole story and said with an awkward smile, "But our alchemy disciples still welcome you, there is no doubt about it."
"I would like to ask if there are any methods that can be used even if the level is low?" Lin Xi asked.
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."
The realm is low, the spiritual power itself is weak, and the power of magic weapons is not much stronger. This is something that is easy to understand.
"Really not?"
"If I have to say it." Xia Chengfeng thought about it carefully and said, "Perhaps the puppet method is more suitable for you, Junior Brother Lin. It just so happens that you also have metallic spiritual roots."
"It's interesting to talk about puppets." Lin Xi's eyes lit up and she urged the other party to continue.
"Puppet making is very troublesome and requires a lot of raw materials. Very few people in the outer sect know how to make puppets, but there just happens to be such a weirdo."
"wack?"
According to Xia Chengfeng, there is a strange man at the outer gate.
He is very strange.
Although he has reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, he refuses to go to the inner sect. Instead, he stays in the outer sect to study the way of puppets. It is said that he has been studying it for decades.
No one remembers exactly how long it took.
After all, it is impossible for ordinary people to stay outside for so long.
However, the puppets made by this weirdo were quite sophisticated and had good combat power. Everyone who saw them praised them. Unfortunately, they were sold too expensively and almost no one bought them.
Lin Xi's eyes lit up after hearing this.
It doesn't matter if it's expensive, the most important thing is that it's good.
So Lin Xi inquired about the weirdo's residence and went straight to the door.
It was a courtyard made entirely of iron and stone, full of mechanical violence and beauty, with a special sheen of metal. There were piles of discarded puppets at the door.
But even if it is an abandoned puppet, its workmanship is extremely exquisite.
There are often disciples who come here with admiration, but they are kicked out by weirdos after just a few words of conversation.
At the twelfth level of Qi refining, no outer disciple would dare to provoke him.
"Crazy man, a treasure-hunting rat puppet actually costs three thousand spiritual stones, so why don't I spend five hundred to buy a real treasure-hunting rat?" A disciple cursed bitterly.
He happened to see Lin Xi and said, "Brother, don't go, there is something wrong with this person."
"I'll just come and take a look."
"It's up to you, but don't be so angry that you're smoking." The disciple said.
Lin Xi nodded and walked towards the courtyard.
When Lin Xi saw the whole courtyard, she was filled with admiration. The owner of this courtyard looked absolutely strange.
Buzz!
Thick white mist of steam floated over the courtyard.
"Is there anyone?" Lin Xi asked.
A middle-aged man with disheveled hair walked out. He was very slovenly, with an unkempt beard and some white hair on the sideburns. He was not tall but rather skinny, and his eyes were slightly fanatical.
His name is Zheng Qipeng, but people from the outer sect prefer to call him a puppet weirdo.
Zheng Qipeng shouted impatiently: "What's the matter?"
His voice was very deep.
"I want to buy a puppet."
Lin Xi had no nonsense.
Zheng Qipeng took a look at Lin Xi: "Second level of Qi refining? You can only use the lowest level puppet. It's in the southeast corner. You can choose it yourself."
After saying that, Zheng Qipeng turned around and walked back to the courtyard.
He started tinkering with the puppet again, and seemed unwilling to pay attention to anyone.
Lin Xi found the southeast corner and saw a few lifelike puppets.
There are treasure-hunting rats, red-blooded beasts, jade foxes, black wolves, and two humanoid puppets. They are very delicate, with many formations carved on them. The formations are densely covered, and the core is a beast core.
The core of puppetry is formation.
The beast core or spirit stone provides energy, and the formation is equivalent to the nerves, consuming energy to drive the trunk.
Even if it is a puppet, it still has requirements for the user's realm.
If your spiritual consciousness is not strong enough, you may not be able to drive the puppet.
However, the requirements will be lower than those of magic weapons and the like.
Lin Xi shook his head when he saw this: "Although it is very sophisticated, its combat power is obviously not that high."
He found that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.
Like magic weapons, puppets also have requirements for realm.
Just as he was about to leave, he was attracted by the movement Zheng Qipeng made in the corner of the courtyard.
He is making a humanoid puppet.
The puppet looked a little different from the real person. It was rough and messy, and it felt a bit cheap. Zheng Qipeng carefully obtained the Wuliu ore and cast the veins on the core of the humanoid puppet.
His movements are very skillful and his demeanor is very serious and focused.
It's like an old craftsman who has been immersed in this art for decades.
boom!
The Wuliu Mine suddenly made a sound and broke into pieces.
"Damn! Failed again. The success rate is really low." Zheng Qipeng cursed loudly: "It would be great if I had Haneda Stone. The texture is softer, but the strength is three times that of Wuliu Mine."
Lin Xi was puzzled: "Then use Haneda stone."
"If I want you to talk too much, just tell me what you want to buy and get out after buying it." Zheng Qipeng shouted.
It was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
"I don't like those low-level puppets. I can't use the good puppets." Lin Xi was not angry: "So there is nothing to buy. Why don't you use Haneda Stone?"
Normally, Zheng Qipeng would have directly attacked people.
But now he was full of complaints and needed to vent. He looked at Lin Xi like an idiot: "The price of Haneda stone is a hundred times that of Uliushi, and Uliushi is barely enough. What do you think I should use?"
"Oh, it turns out there are not enough spiritual stones."
"If those poor guys couldn't afford my puppets, how could I have no money?"
Zheng Qipeng complained, and then looked at the humanoid puppet in front of him, as if looking at a lover: "As long as I create this puppet, I will definitely shine in the world of immortality."
"so smart?"
"Of course."
"Is there anything special about your puppet?"
Zheng Qipeng glared at Lin Xi with dissatisfaction: "What is special? Please use your words more appropriately. You should ask, what is so shocking about this puppet?"
"Well, let me ask you what is so shocking about this puppet."
Zheng Qipeng's face was full of pride: "It can accompany the monks to advance."
