Chapter 125 Refining the second-level soul puppet and the Hu family’s golden elixir birthday (please

After lunch, He Yunxiu made Chen Ling a cup of spiritual tea.

Then I went to put Shengxia and Chuner to sleep.

After Chen Ling drank the spiritual tea, she came to Qin Wumei's room.

The afternoon sun gradually climbed up the window lattice.

It was like a projection of broken gold, illuminating every corner and every particle of dust.

A light medicinal fragrance permeates the air.

Makes people feel comfortable smelling it!

Qin Wumei, who was reading the alchemy book, frowned dissatisfiedly when she saw Chen Ling, "Isn't this the head of the Chen family? What kind of wind brought you to me today?"

There was a deep sense of complaint in his tone!

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that these days, he was busy refining weapons, and at night he was with other wives and concubines, but he neglected the sentimental Qin Wumei who was pregnant.

"Fifth sister, it's not good for your husband." Chen Ling put her arms around Qin Wumei.

"don't want!"

Qin Wumei put down the alchemy book and half-pushed Chen Ling away.

Chen Ling hurriedly took out the real stove from the storage ring and said with a smile on his face, "Look, this is a second-order mid-grade real stove. It is made of third-order materials. Its actual power is no less than that of the second-order high-grade one." , even the best!”

"It took me several days to refine it!"

"Second-grade high-grade alchemy furnace!" Qin Wumei heard this, took the alchemy furnace, and looked at it carefully.

It is warm, delicate and very tactile.

With her alchemy experience, she can naturally see how extraordinary this alchemy furnace is.

Putting away the alchemy furnace, although his face was still sulky, he had already forgiven him in his heart.

Chen Ling coaxed her for a while, and then she smiled.

[Tip: Your wife Qin Wumei’s sense of family belonging reaches 110%, and her golden incense value is +2. 】

The panel prompt bar appears.

Chen Ling felt helpless. Once a woman has a child, she either overflows with maternal love or becomes unreasonable!

······.

Ten days flew by.

Chen Ling left Chenjia'ao early in the morning and came to Qingfengfang City.

The layout of Fang City is almost the same as that of Jinshan Fang City, and it is estimated that it was built based on the same drawing.

On the main street, many shops have been rented out one after another, and there are many casual vendors on both sides.

People are coming and going, and the level of people flow is probably close to 50 to 60% of Jinshanfang City.

Chen Ling quickly found the Wanbaolou store.

Located on the main road in the most prosperous East District of Fang City, there is an exquisite and gorgeous loft.

The plaque hanging on the gate reads "Wanbao Tower".

Mana fluctuations were faintly visible throughout the pavilion, and a magic circle was obviously arranged.

Chen Ling entered the pavilion and showed the jade badge of the second-level guest minister to a green-clothed attendant in charge of reception, and was quickly led to the VIP room on the second floor.

"Thank you, Senior Chen!"

Looking at the Ice Flame Sword and the Real Stove, Li Jian looked happy and sounded excited.

Chen Ling nodded calmly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Senior, here are five hundred middle-grade spiritual stones, as well as pill recipes for Peiyuan Pill, Xuanyuan Pill and Ziwei Pill!"

"According to your instructions, 10,000 spirit stones and 600 contribution points have been deducted from the three elixir recipes!"

Li Jian put away the Ice Flame Sword and the Alchemy Furnace, and handed a two-sided storage bag to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling nodded with a smile on his face, becoming more and more satisfied with Li Jian's service attitude.

Then he asked, "Are there any materials for refining puppets for sale in the building?"

"Yes, senior, please come with me!" Li Jian said with a smile.

Later, Chen Ling followed Li Jian to the materials area on the first floor.

In the second-level material area, each material is paved with exquisite yellow satin.

Chen Ling wants to independently refine the second-level soul puppet this time, which is not a demon puppet. He needs to use many materials such as black iron wood, soul stone, golden silk, phantom stone, etc. to refine the physical body.

Each type costs several thousand lower-grade spiritual stones, some cost tens of thousands.

Chen Ling spent 100,000 spirit stones to purchase four materials.

Almost half of the middle-grade spiritual stones on his body were consumed.

Although there are still ten high-grade spiritual stones, they are reserved for activating the formation, and Chen Ling does not dare to use them at will.

But four pieces of material were enough for him.

An ordinary second-level puppet master can have a success rate of 40%, which is enough to be proud of.

By adding points and powerful spiritual consciousness, Chen Ling's success rate can often reach more than 70%.

This is his biggest advantage!

In addition, he has a cautious personality, and he often refines intermediate spiritual weapons only after he understands high-level spiritual taboos.

Then, with a fluke mentality, he asked Li Jian if there was any third-level monster spirit blood for sale?

Li Jian shook his head.

Just as Chen Ling was about to leave Wanbao Tower, he unexpectedly met Shen Ling and Mu Yi at the door.

"Master Chen, can our spiritual weapon be refined?" Shen Ling glanced at Chen Ling and asked hurriedly.

Chen Ling nodded, bowed his hands, and said with a smile, "Already handed over to Deacon Li!"

When the two of them heard this, they both looked happy.

Shen Ling raised her eyebrows, a smile appeared on her delicate and beautiful face, and said, "We are about to go to the Xiling Swamp. I wonder if Master Chen would be interested in coming with us. In terms of treatment, I will naturally satisfy you!"

When Chen Ling heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Due to his cooperation with the Hundred Beasts Sect, Chen Ling also had a general understanding of the terrain in the western region.

This Xiling Swamp is located in the area where the Hundred Beasts Sect and the Star Sword Sect meet in the west, stretching for hundreds of miles.

It's a completely deserted area.

Not only is the evil aura permeating the air, but there are also many second-level monsters lurking in it.

Every time monks from the Chen family pass by in the air, they have to be careful.

The last time I was ambushed by monsters was in this area.

Chen Ling shook his head and refused with a smile, "The family is busy with affairs, so I can't keep myself apart!"

How could he risk going to such a dangerous place so easily?

Although the two of them are monks in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, I am not familiar with them, so naturally I will not waste any time!

"I don't know how to flatter you. If Miss Shen invites me, she thinks highly of you!"

Mu Yi's face darkened and he snorted coldly.

Seeing Mu Yi's cold and arrogant face, Chen Ling felt a little unhappy, but considering their backgrounds, there was no need to offend them for such a trivial matter, so he immediately bowed his hand to Shen Ling and left.

Seeing Chen Ling being so ignorant, Mu Yi looked angry and was about to shout to stop him.

"The two seniors have arrived just in time. The spiritual weapon has been refined for you. Please watch it upstairs!"

At this time, Li Jian came out, cupped his fists towards the two of them and said.

Shen Ling and Mu Yi then followed Li Jian into Wanbao Tower.

But Mu Yi looked at Chen Ling's leaving figure, a cold look flashed in his eyes!

Then Chen Ling came to his store.

The five stalls are connected together, about more than 100 square meters, and it seems to be quite large.

The decoration is also antique and very classy!

"Husband, you are here!"

When Qin Yelian saw Chen Ling, her pretty face showed a sweet smile.

"Meet the master!"

A dozen other tribesmen working at the stall also saluted Chen Ling.

Chen Ling smiled and gave up, simply reading it again.

The shop mainly sells low-level magic weapons and elixirs.

There are two or three casual cultivators in the shop buying magic weapons.

"Husband, there is a small courtyard of our Chen family in the back alley. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Qin Yelian asked expectantly.

Chen Ling was mainly looking at the business situation of the store now. The yard didn't pay much attention to it. He looked at Qin Wumei's graceful body and walked slowly towards the inner room.

He also followed.

The layout of the shop here is a shop outside and a courtyard inside.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Qin Yelian turned on the sound insulation array, blushed on her face, and came over.

Chen Ling was caught off guard.

······.

Back home, it was already dusk.

The whole family is waiting for him to have dinner!

After eating, Chen Ling played with Xiao Pingan and the others for a while and told them a few short stories!

It wasn't until He Yunxiu asked them to take a shower that Chen Ling came to the training room!

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Chen Ling clicked on the panel.

Incense value: 80.

In the past ten days, another 80 incense points have been accumulated!

""Puppet Transformation Technique", improved!"

Chen Ling's spiritual consciousness is at the + level after "Puppet Transformation Technique".

The incense value quickly decreased, and in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, another familiar figure appeared.

The figure muttered words, and at the same time, soul seals condensed one after another in his hands.

Those soul marks were slowly imprinted on Chen Ling's sea of ​​consciousness.

Soul seals seemed to flash through Chen Ling's eyes. At this moment, he felt enlightened as if he had an enlightenment.

Various methods of refining puppets emerged one after another, and countless methods such as piecing together, dividing, and soul confinement were clearly understood in the mind.

At the same time, a large amount of knowledge about puppet materials suddenly emerged from the sea of ​​consciousness. Various puppet materials flashed through his sea of ​​consciousness one by one and were imprinted into the sea of ​​consciousness.

After more than twenty breaths, the figure in the sea of ​​consciousness gradually dispersed, and he withdrew from enlightenment.

Chen Ling's eyes flashed, "No wonder Chu Yu said that it took my father-in-law more than forty years to become a first-class puppet master."

The knowledge required for puppetry is even more complicated than weapon refining.

He looked at the panel, the incense value was cleared, and the skill column on the panel, "Puppet Transformation Technique": (Proficiency 20%+).

Puppet Master: Second level top grade.

"The second-level high-grade puppet master can already refine puppets with combat power equivalent to that of the late stage of foundation establishment. With more improvements, the real combat power will even be higher than that of the late stage of foundation establishment!"

"Coupled with my powerful spiritual consciousness, as long as I don't encounter the peak foundation-building monks, I can protect myself!"

Chen Ling thought with a look of satisfaction on his face.

The combat power in the late stage of foundation building is already considered top-notch in the Star Sword Sect!

But thinking about the current situation of Star Sword Sect, I suddenly calmed down again!

"We still need to improve our strength as soon as possible!"

Now that you have a family to take care of, you can't make any mistakes!

Then I made another cup of spiritual tea and sat on the futon.

I feel that the spiritual tea is more and more delicious!

Puppetry!

Refining weapons!

Alchemy!

Chen Ling himself was puzzled. There was probably no other monk in the world of cultivation who was as proficient in cultivation as he was.

But in a dangerous world.

As long as he can protect himself, he wants to master it.

As the saying goes, having many skills does not overwhelm the body, these are all means to make a living, not to mention, no matter how mysterious the skills are, for him, they are just a bonus.

Just get more incense points and marry more concubines!

After drinking the spirit tea, Chen Ling began to think about the puppet he was going to refine this time.

The golden armored warrior puppet and the shadow puppet.

This is the plan that Chen Ling has already prepared.

The golden armored warrior puppet is good at defense with strength. It is metallic, its golden armor is extremely hard, and its strength is extremely powerful.

In addition to the materials needed to refine the puppet itself, Chen Ling also decided to use third-level golden sunstone to create its golden armor.

Of course, in addition to materials, there is also a refining method. This time Chen Ling used the soul confinement method.

The so-called method of soul confinement is to imprint the soul mark on the puppet so that it has certain attributes and ideas.

This is the most difficult refining method among the many refining methods of puppetry.

It requires the puppet master to have extremely powerful spiritual consciousness in order to successfully imprint the soul mark.

For example, the soul mark of a warrior in golden armor is the soul mark of a warrior.

The formula alone is extremely profound and obscure, and it is not easy to condense it.

The level of the soul mark also determines the level of the puppet's combat power.

If the materials used to refine the puppet are all third-level materials, but the soul seal is only first-level, then the overall combat power exerted by the puppet may not reach the second level.

As for the shadow puppet, Chen Ling plans to incorporate the remaining purple ice essence and lapis lazuli from the Ice Flame Sword refining this time into it to create an Ice Flame Sword for it. This combat power is absolutely impressive!

"I have become proficient in the "Puppet Transformation Technique". Now I can refine these two puppets without any problems!"

Chen Ling took a deep breath and adjusted his condition.

The material is then removed.

Then he ran the Nine Revolutions Spirit Flame Art, condensed the Green Lotus Thunder Gang Fire, and began to refine the Golden Armored Warrior Puppet.

In the blazing flames, black iron wood, soul stone, golden sun stone, golden silk and other materials were controlled by the flames and Chen Ling's spiritual consciousness.

Constantly changing into various forms.

Accompanied by a harsh "sizzling" sound, the spiritual flame suddenly burst out.

Almost filling the entire room.

And in the flames, golden light bloomed.

A golden-armored warrior more than ten feet tall emerged from the flames and stood in front of Chen Ling.

It's just that his expression is dull, like a puppet, lifeless!

Chen Ling looked solemn, the next step was the most critical step in refining the puppet, constructing the soul seal.

Following the thought of Fa Jue, Chen Ling's consciousness began to construct the soul seal.

Different from the spirit seal condensed from the spirit patterns of the spirit prison, the soul seal is like the character form drawn by an artist.

At the same time, under the influence of the divine soul, this condensed soul seal can give the puppet simple and independent control capabilities.

First, the head of the golden armored warrior's soul mark, then the body, and the limbs gradually condensed into a complete soul mark.

At this moment, Chen Ling felt that there was a mysterious aura on the soul seal, as if it was an extension of his own soul.

However, his spiritual consciousness was obviously consumed, but he controlled the soul mark in an orderly manner and slowly integrated into the puppet's body.

As the soul mark was completely integrated into the golden body, a golden glow suddenly bloomed on the puppet's body.

Exuding an astonishing coercion.

A pair of eyes slowly opened, exuding a look of indifference, as if they had the breath of life.

Completely different from the original sluggishness, there is more vitality and aura.

"It's done!"

Chen Ling had a smile on his face.

He put away the Qinglian Thunder Gang Fire, and then made a thought.

"Meet the master!"

The burly body of the golden armored warrior slowly knelt down towards Chen Ling.

After implanting the soul mark, this golden armored warrior puppet has simple consciousness.

Chen Ling put it away with satisfaction. As for future battles, he still needed to put in spiritual stones with the same attributes.

Looking at the full moon hanging high outside, it is already late at night.

Chen Ling immediately stood up and left the training room, heading to sister Fang Ying's room.

······.

Another five days passed in a hurry.

On this day, it was close to the late autumn afternoon, and there was already a hint of coolness.

In the courtyard, Chen Ling cleared a large open space.

Sister Fang Ying was standing back to back, holding a shining golden spiritual sword.

Chen Ling sat quietly on the wicker chair in the corridor, looking at the sisters with serious expressions, with a smile on his face.

Their sisters' cultivation has also reached the Great Perfection of Qi training, and coupled with the combined swordsmanship they have practiced, their power is not inferior to that of the monks in the early stages of foundation building.

But under the attack of the shadow puppet, it fell completely below.

Last night, Chen Ling successfully refined the shadow puppet and equipped it with an ice flame sword.

The combat power is definitely high.

After lunch, Chen Ling took sister Fang Ying to try out the shadow puppet's specific combat power.

Even though they were prepared, Sister Fang Ying was still unable to block the shadow puppet's surprise attack.

But Fang Luo was not convinced and must try again.

Chen Ling originally wanted to refuse. After all, an attack by the shadow puppet would consume a lot of money.

Although he controlled the puppet so that he could only exert about 40% of his combat power, it still consumed two mid-grade spiritual stones.

But he couldn't stand Fang Luo's insistence, so he finally agreed!

Seeing that the two people's consciousness had been spread out, but they could not detect the shadow puppet, Chen Ling became more and more satisfied with the shadow puppet.

"Ready! Going to attack!" he shouted with a smile.

At the same time, he sent his thoughts to the shadow puppet.

Sister Fang Ying frowned slightly and stood ready.

But time passed by minute by second.

But no shadow appeared.

Fang Luo couldn't help but ask, "Husband, why haven't you taken action yet?"

Chen Ling said with a smile, "You are not as experienced as your sister. You can easily be distracted when facing the enemy."

"The shadow puppet is going to attack you!"

As he finished speaking, a flaming sword light suddenly shot out from the void and shot towards Fang Luo.

The figure of the shadow puppet is almost attached to the slightly swaying light and shadow of the green-leaf bamboo on the ground, making it difficult to detect its existence.

Fang Ying also smiled and said, "This is called a war that never tires of deceit, we are just waiting for it to take action!"

I saw the swords in the hands of the two sisters draw an arc of light and shadow at the same time, and instantly turned into an arc of sword light, bombarding towards the flaming sword energy.

boom!

Fire is flying!

Sister Fang Ying took two steps back almost at the same time.

He glanced around with a vigilant expression.

Chen Ling smiled and said, "Okay! That's it this time!"

Then his consciousness moved and recalled the shadow puppet.

I saw a wave of light and shadow flashing in front of him, and then a lifelike black-clothed puppet with a slim figure and cold appearance appeared.

Chen Ling was quite satisfied with the performance of the shadow puppet.

Even with his spiritual consciousness in the late stages of foundation building, it would be difficult to detect its existence if he didn't control the puppet's soul mark.

Used for surprise attacks, even monks in the later stages of foundation building may find it hard to defend against!

Chen Ling put it into the storage ring with satisfaction.

"Husband, this puppet is so powerful! If we hadn't been on guard in advance, we wouldn't have been able to stop it!"

Fang Ying came over and said with praise.

Chen Ling was about to boast a few words when footsteps came from outside the door.

Then, Shen Zhen hurried in!

"Uncle Shen, what's the matter?"

Chen Ling stood up and asked.

"Master, in three days it will be the 200th birthday of the Golden Pill Patriarch of the Hu family of the Hundred Beasts Sect. The Hu family has sent an invitation, inviting the master to celebrate!"

Shen Zhen took out a jade slip from his arms and handed it to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling took the jade slip and scanned it with his consciousness.

The content inside is similar to the invitation.

Basically, the ancestor of the Hu family celebrated his 200th birthday and invited Chen Ling, the head of the Chen family, to celebrate the new year!

Chen Ling frowned slightly. For ordinary monks, it would be a pleasure to burn incense if they could receive an invitation from a Golden Core monk.

The face of the Golden elixir monk still has a great deterrent effect.

It's just that Chen Ling has never been to the territory of the Hundred Beast Sect since he started doing business in the Hundred Beast Sect for more than half a year.

I have never dealt with anyone from the Hu family.

But the Jindan Patriarch has already sent out an invitation, and he must go there in person no matter what.

Shen Zhen seemed to notice Chen Ling's hesitation and said with a smile, "Master, in addition to celebrating Patriarch Hu this time, there is another important thing to do!"

"What's the matter?" Chen Ling asked.

"I have already made arrangements with the Hu family to purchase two second-level fire beasts raised by them."

"It will be much safer to use this fire beast to transport goods in the future!"

Shen Zhen said.

Fang Ying brewed a cup of spiritual tea from the hall and brought it over.

"Uncle Shen, let's have a cup of tea first and let's talk slowly!" Chen Ling said with a smile.

Then he discussed with Shen Zhen the birthday of the ancestor of the Hu family.

What are Mr. Hu’s hobbies?

What kind of gift is appropriate?

Do the other members of the Hu family need to be taken care of?

However, Shen Zhen has already done his homework, and Chen Ling only needs to go there in person!

······.

"Husband, it is said that the Hundred Beast Sect is a barbaric people, you should be careful!"

"Why don't you let Miss Qingtang accompany you?"

While eating breakfast, He Yunxiu warned him worriedly.

Chen Ling smiled and said, "It's okay! I'm going to celebrate someone's birthday, not to fight. Besides, he's a Jindan monk, and most people don't dare to provoke him."

He Yunxiu looked at Fang Ying and the sisters again and said, "Why don't you take Fang Ying and the others with you? If you are used to Fang Ying's cooking, it will be easier for you to be served on the road."

Sister Fang Ying also looked at Chen Ling expectantly.

Chen Ling shook his head and said, "It's not far from the Hundred Beasts Sect. It only takes an hour to get there by Yunzhou."

Now I have two second-level high-grade soul puppets in my hands. As long as I don't encounter a peak foundation-building monk, there won't be any danger!

Seeing what Chen Ling said, He Yun Xiucai nodded.

After Chen Ling gave a few brief instructions, he walked out of the courtyard and came to the square.

In the square, Shen Zhen was already waiting on the Yunzhou with several tribesmen.

Chen Ling jumped onto the cloud boat and shouted to the tribesmen, "Let's go!"

The cloud boat turned into a stream of light and flew towards the west.

The scenery below flew by quickly. After the Star Sword Sect's continuous land reclamation, Qingfengfang City had been completely cleared of evil spirits within a hundred miles.

But after traveling for half a moment, a wasteland area appeared ahead again.

A thin layer of evil energy began to appear again, and a valley flowing with black swamp appeared in everyone's sight.

"We have entered the Xiling Swamp, everyone is on alert!"

Shen Zhen shouted loudly.

More than a dozen Zhantang clan members raised their first-order high-grade magic weapon, the Black Iron Crossbow, and stared at the surroundings with wary expressions.

Chen Ling's consciousness scanned the surrounding area for tens of feet and found no monster. He immediately shouted, "Speed ​​up and move forward!"

The tribe members were on high alert, and Yun Zhou continued to roar forward!

Boom!

After continuing for ten miles, suddenly there was a loud noise in the swamp ahead!

"No, there's a monster coming. Yunzhou will rise and fly!"

Shen Zhen shouted hurriedly!

Chen Ling couldn't help but frown slightly, staring closely at the swamp below.
