Chapter 243 The Fourth-Level Puppet Master and Family Changes
After everyone in the Shen family moved safely to Jade Butterfly City, Chen Ling found a good day.
A guest ceremony was specially held for Shen Yunhe and Wei Wenwu.
Originally, with Chen Ling's low-key personality, he didn't pay much attention to these so-called celebrations.
But this celebration has another meaning for the Chen family.
Nowadays, the overall strength of the Chen family is no less than that of the Yuanying family, but not many people really understand it.
Originally, low-key development was the best direction.
However, nowadays, both the development and construction of workshops and Xinling City require a large number of manpower.
So it’s better to promote it properly!
Attracting some skilled monks to come and seek refuge.
It can both increase the strength of the family.
You can also increase some incense value appropriately.
Of course, there is another important point, which is to take the opportunity to shock Suiyun Sword Sect.
There were originally five major sects in this area.
Now only the Star Sword Sect, the Hundred Beasts Sect and the Suiyun Sword Sect are left.
The Hundred Beasts Sect is basically a vassal of the Chen family.
Suiyun Sword Sect's strength has also plummeted in recent years.
Originally there was one Nascent Soul and six Golden Elixir Sword Cultivators, but with the departure of the Shen family, now there is only one Nascent Soul and three Golden Elixirs left by Patriarch Guo.
However, it is undeniable that the Suiyun Sword Sect with Patriarch Guo, a second-level Nascent Soul sword cultivator, is still a big threat to the Chen family!
And with the entire Shen family joining the Chen family, how could the Suiyun Sword Sect give up?
"I hope this decision will have an effect!"
Frowning his brows, Chen Ling had a trace of sadness on his face.
Now that he has the Golden Lei Peng, Cold Spirit Crystal Flame, Thunder Sword Qi Sword Talisman, Void Fire Cauldron and other means to deal with Yuanying monks, he is not too afraid of Patriarch Guo.
Judging from the information obtained, although Patriarch Guo is at the second level of Nascent Soul, his swordsmanship level is only at the peak of the second level, and he has not yet comprehended the third level.
With the Tiangang Immortal Light Sword Formation of Yun'er and others, coupled with their own methods, they will definitely be able to fight.
Of course, the battle with Patriarch Guo is probably going to happen sooner or later.
After all, he killed Guo Ping and others.
However, the later this happens, the better it will be for you.
Chen Ling is now a golden elixir cultivator. With the speed of his cultivation of top-grade spiritual roots, his advantage is not too obvious.
Under normal circumstances, without ten or twenty years of hard work, it would be impossible to enter the second stage of the Golden Elixir.
But as the bonus of the dual cultivation of wives and concubines continues to increase, coupled with the dual cultivation of skills and yin and yang spiritual flames, his cultivation speed has greatly increased!
At the same time, with sufficient assistance from elixirs, I feel like I am making progress every day.
At this rate, in another three months, he will be able to reach the second level of the Golden Elixir.
When the time comes to deal with Patriarch Guo, he will be more confident.
However, this matter is not something he can decide.
Who knows, Suiyun Sword Sect may launch an attack on the Chen family tomorrow!
All we can do is prepare for the battle with all our strength!
Early in the morning, Wei Wenwu and Shen Yunhe were dressed very formally, wearing black robes and three crowns. Accompanied by Chen Ling, they walked into the Chen family hall step by step.
At this moment, there were many monks sitting in two rows at the viewing seats on both sides of the main hall.
Wang Xi and Zhao Chanzhen, as invited guests, were seated at the top of the two rows respectively.
Next, there are Hu Jinliu, the leader of the Hundred Beasts Sect, Qi Santong, the guest of the Chen family.
Almost all the Chen family’s Jindan guests and those above the foundation level were present.
The scene can be said to be the most solemn in the history of the Chen family.
Wei Wenwu has a burly body and sharp eyes; Shen Yunhe is gentle and elegant, with a completely different temperament.
But a Nascent Soul cultivator and a mid-Jindan sword cultivator are both powerful.
After Chen Ling took his seat on the main seat, both of them bowed their hands to Chen Ling and saluted!
Afterwards, Chen Ling stood up and returned the greeting, and motioned for them to sit down on either side of him.
Then he said a few high-spirited words to encourage the family monks to practice hard!
Other monks also came forward to congratulate him one by one!
Although it is the entry hall for the two great monks, the Chen family does not have too many red tapes.
After the simple salute, Wei Wenwu and Shen Yunhe joined the others in returning the salute one by one.
In particular, although Wei Wenwu is a Nascent Soul cultivator, his attitude is very easy-going and without any airs.
This is quite in contrast to other people's tall physiques!
With his current level of cultivation, he needs a lot of resources, which the ordinary Yuanying family really cannot supply.
After observing secretly these days, I am still very satisfied with the Chen family.
Chen Ling was not only able to ensure sufficient supply of elixirs, but also the income of the weapon refining workshop was extremely stable.
In addition, there are now large areas of wilderness waiting to be developed.
Overall, the Chen family is in a prosperous period, which is completely different from the Lu family's stagnation.
Of course, the most important thing is that he still values Chen Ling's ability to refine the Erdan Haoyuan Dan.
As long as there is a sufficient supply of Haoyuan Dan every month, his cultivation level can steadily improve!
The simple yet solemn ceremony was quickly concluded.
As the clan attendants replaced the guests with spiritual tea, the entire atmosphere in the main hall also changed.
Everyone began to talk freely!
Many people took the opportunity to ask Wei Wenwu and Shen Yunhe about their cultivation experience, but they did not hide it and gave them answers one by one.
Later, Wei Wenwu felt that the large number of people was too troublesome.
After consulting Chen Ling for his opinion, he preached to everyone on the spot.
For Hu Jinliu, Qi San and others, although their cultivation directions are different, the experience of a Yuanying monk is extremely precious.
They also listened attentively!
Zhao Chanzhen came to Chen Ling and first congratulated the Chen family for recruiting two powerful guests, and then asked about the situation of the Xianlei War Boat.
Chen Ling could only give her an approximate reply time.
Zhao Chanzhen also looked happy when he saw that Chen Ling was really able to refine the Immortal Thunder War Boat.
Then he handed a small storage ring to Chen Ling and said with a smile, "There is a fourth-order monster Thunder Bird and two third-order monster corpses inside, which are relatively intact!"
"The price! It's still the same as before. As for the payment method, you can use the war boat to offset it, or repay it with elixirs!"
Chen Ling felt happy and hurriedly handed over his hand.
With the improvement of his soul, he can now easily control the three-headed and fourth-level puppets.
Now, for him, the more corpses of these monster beasts, especially the corpses with intact demon pills, the merrier!
Without such large-scale land reclamation, no matter how many spiritual stones he had, he would not be able to purchase many corpses of fourth-level monsters!
He took the storage ring and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness.
There is about a hundred feet of space inside.
The corpse of the three-headed monster was not too big.
The Thunder Bird was about six or seven feet in size, and had several obvious wounds on its body, which looked very regular, as if it had been injured by the sword energy of some kind of sword formation.
The other two heads, one big and one small, are the purple cloud marten and the black gold ape.
In particular, the body of the Black Gold Ape is riddled with scars, and repairing it will probably take a long time.
Fortunately, the demon elixirs in their bodies still exist.
Then, Zhao Chanzhen gave a few instructions before saying goodbye and leaving.
Wang Xi, on the other hand, was very considerate to Chen Ling and stayed until the ceremony was completely over before saying goodbye and leaving!
A lively guest ceremony also came to an end when Wei Wenwu finished speaking about his cultivation experience!
······.
Late at night, inside the training room.
Blue flames were suspended in the void, and in the flames, a bright body suddenly lit up, releasing a faint golden glow.
"It's finally done!"
Chen Ling let out a sigh of relief.
Then he put away the Cold Spirit Crystal Flame.
"Meet the master!"
The body that exuded a faint golden glow fell to the ground and bowed towards Chen Ling.
The expression is respectful and lifelike.
This is a puppet made by Chen Ling using Patriarch Lu's golden elixir and the alchemist's soul seal.
This puppet looks like an elegant middle-aged man.
In addition to the basic materials of fire cloud crystal and golden sun stone, there are also auxiliary materials such as soul-nourishing wood.
Worth a fortune!
Of course, the most important thing is Patriarch Lu’s golden elixir.
Chen Ling smiled and said, "Get up!"
With a wave of his hand, a green gown covered the puppet.
"Thank you Master!"
The puppet cupped his hands and thanked him.
Chen Ling's eyes wandered. In the past half month, he had accumulated more than 2,000 incense points, all of which were used to increase the "Nine Changes of Puppet Technique".
It was suddenly raised to 50/100.
The puppet master has also entered the fourth level of low-level.
As the soul's cultivation level increases, he can control more and more puppets at the same time.
This also means that the more puppets there are, the stronger the combat power will be!
Now he already has the Six Paths Golden Pill Puppet in his body.
There are also several third-level beast puppets such as Jin Lei Peng and Qing Feng Niu.
If Du Qingyun is forced to blow them all up, even if he can't kill Du Qingyun, it will still be enough for him to eat a pot.
However, as the number of puppets increased, it was necessary to give them names.
"From now on, please call me Dan Er!" Chen Ling thought for a while and said with a smile.
"Thank you Master for the name!"
The puppet replied.
Chen Ling immediately moved his mind and put it into the secret realm of elixir.
These days, the elixirs in the secret realm were not taken care of much, so it was just for him to sort them out.
After all, he is the golden elixir soul puppet of Patriarch Lu, so he must be very knowledgeable about how to manage this secret realm.
With his current spiritual cultivation level, he would have no problem controlling several puppets in battle at the same time.
After all, these puppets are soul puppets, have certain independent attributes, and consume relatively low soul power.
"There are still three monster puppets that have not been refined!"
"But let's stop here tonight!"
The moon was shining brightly and the stars were sparse outside the window. Chen Ling immediately stood up and left the training room.
After thinking for a while, he walked towards Xie Maner's courtyard.
Among the many wives and concubines, Xie Maner's Flower Spirit Dao Body was also quite effective in assisting him!
And as Li Yourong became pregnant, the number of visits to Xie Man'er also increased significantly!
······.
After a night of tossing.
The next morning, Xie Maner's temperament also changed a lot.
While she was sleeping last night, Chen Ling added the 10 golden incense points she had accumulated directly to the Hualing Dao Body.
Improved it to (55/100).
In addition, Xie Maner's dual cultivation bonus has now reached 25, plus the help of the Hualing Taoist body.
Her cultivation speed is also much faster than others.
Now he has reached the peak level of foundation building. At this rate, he may be able to form a pill in less than two years.
This situation was something Xie Maner himself had not thought of.
"Husband, I want to transfer my grandfather back to Jade Butterfly City and let my cousins Xie Jin and Xie Jie take over!"
After serving Chen Ling to change clothes, Xie Maner said with a smile.
Now his grandfather Xie Wu has been stationed in Huoyan Valley for more than six years. During this period, he is preparing to reach the peak of foundation building.
Only then did Xie Maner send other members of the Xie family to replace his grandfather.
Chen Ling nodded, "You can arrange these things yourself!"
When the Xie family first joined the Chen family, the family contribution was not enough, so Chen Ling privately gave Xie Man'er a few foundation-building pills.
However, Xie Maner still handled matters impartially. After the three Xie family members successfully built the foundation, they were dispatched to garrison in several surrounding mines.
Earn contribution points and replenish them later.
Chen Ling naturally agreed with Xie Maner's approach.
Nowadays, the Chen family is no longer a small family with hundreds of people.
There are more than 800 monks alone, and hundreds of thousands of mortals, not counting the monks and mortals of the Star Sword Sect.
The overall strength is no less than that of Yuanying Sect.
Everything still needs to be institutionalized and managed in order to develop better.
Xie Maner made another cup of spiritual tea for Chen Ling, and then slowly introduced to him the recent development of the family.
First of all, with the arrival of Wei Wenwu and Shen Yunhe, many casual cultivators came later.
During this period, three second-level weapon refiners were recruited.
Two second-level alchemists.
Two second-level talisman masters.
There are also several foundation-building monks with good combat capabilities.
Then, within the family, monks from various families, including the Xie family, successfully built foundations one after another.
Especially Feng Jia, not only successfully formed the elixir, but also successfully became a third-level low-level formation mage, possessing the ability to arrange third-level formations.
The Chen family also has a gorgeous lineup of three third-level array mages.
In addition, many good talents have appeared in each affiliated family. For example, the Fang family has had two young monks with high-grade wood spirit roots in the past few years.
Several other families also have high-grade spiritual root monks appearing.
Especially in the Hu family, there is also a monk with the best spiritual roots, who is only eleven years old and has both gold and wood spiritual roots.
At the same time, Meng Ping led the Lu family monks to conduct in-depth development of the wilderness surrounding Xinling City.
In the past few months, two more mineral veins have been discovered one after another.
A small Jinyangshi mine and a small Lingyu mine.
Although it is only a small vein, it can basically be used by the Chen family, who are now preparing to develop Xinling City on a large scale.
······.
After introducing the recent progress of the family, the following is the bulk of current expenses.
Treatment of family guests and monks.
Now among the family's guests, in addition to Wei Wenwu, a Nascent Soul monk, there are also many Golden Elixir monks.
In terms of worship, it will not have any impact.
Mainly the consumption of purchasing elixirs and refining elixirs every month.
Moreover, purchasing third-level elixirs is quite troublesome.
Although every two or three months, the Colorful Tribe will send a batch of elixirs over.
But there are not many third-level elixirs!
Most of them are still second-level elixirs!
Chen Ling's time was limited and he couldn't ripen them one by one.
"It seems we need to find a way to solve this problem!"
Chen Ling thought to himself.
Now he has a secret realm of elixirs in his hands. The growth rate of elixirs in the secret realm is closely related to the concentration of spiritual energy.
As long as the concentration of spiritual energy can be increased, the speed of the elixir will also increase accordingly.
Therefore, there are only two ways: increase investment in top-quality spiritual stones, or directly find a way to find a small third-level or above spiritual vein and integrate it into the secret realm.
In these two situations, it is undoubtedly more practical to invest in top-quality spiritual stones.
After all, third-level spiritual veins are not easy to find. Once discovered, they will soon be occupied by big forces.
Of course, in addition to improving the aura of the secret realm, the other thing is to find ways to find more high-level elixirs from the wild jungle.
The unique attributes of the wild jungle make the quality and quantity of elixirs higher than those in the wilderness.
If Bu Gao wants to get more elixirs from the wild jungle, he still needs to use the Colorful Tribe.
After a brief discussion with Xie Maner, Chen Ling came to the dining room first.
The children have finished eating and are about to go about their business.
Chen Ling simply finished his breakfast and headed to the workshop.
Now both bows and fourth-level warships are being refined at the same time.
The workshop opened a new ground fire array and built a new production line.
Han Jing led the Han family and Bai family weapon refining monks to be responsible for the refining.
The overall progress can still be kept up.
······.
In the workshop, there is a huge fire pit in the middle, with several foundation-building monks sitting in meditation around it.
The Han Jing is located in the east.
Under his leadership, everyone formed seals with their hands and injected spiritual power into the magic circle.
At this time, the flames were blazing in the earth fire formation, and the earth fires were spraying out like fire snakes, constantly burning a blue boulder.
The boulder is slowly melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On top of it, drops of golden liquid were dripping into the formation.
With the joint efforts of the third-level earth fire, the third-level magic circle supplemented by condensed earth fire, and finally several second-level weapon refiners.
This fourth-level Golden Yang Stone is being continuously refined.
The texture of the fourth-order Jinyang Stone is so hard that it cannot be refined without the third-order earth fire.
Even with the help of earth fire and magical formations, Han Jing and others can only refine a hundred kilograms of Jinyang Stone every day.
Of course, this number is already considerable.
With a thought, Chen Ling's cold spirit crystal flame flashed in his hand, and then turned into a blue stream of light and shot into the earth fire array.
Seeing Chen Ling take action, Han Jing nodded to him.
Everyone else also bowed their heads slightly and saluted.
Everyone was sweating profusely at this moment.
Han Jing was not very good at refining weapons with earth fire, so it was quite difficult to refine them.
However, with the addition of the Cold Spirit Crystal Flame, the Golden Yang Stone melted rapidly.
After burning the incense, all the boulders turned into golden water, which slowly overflowed from the channels around the array.
Afterwards, Chen Ling put away the Cold Spirit Crystal Flame.
"Ling'er, this is the last Golden Yang Stone. Next is the refining of the war boat structure and the refining of some formation disks."
Han Jing stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Chen Ling with a smile.
"Grandpa needs to worry more!"
Chen Ling cupped his fists and said.
The Han family is responsible for the fourth-level battle boat customized by Wang Xi.
It has been more than two months since construction started and we have entered a critical moment.
Chen Ling didn't dare to be careless and came over every day to inspect when he had time.
I'm afraid there are some mistakes.
After all, this is a fourth-level warship. In addition to the fourth-level array that he personally refined, there are also some other auxiliary arrays.
None of these can go wrong
If something goes wrong, the entire warship will be affected.
If Wang Xi doesn't accept the war boat by then, it will be a big loss!
Fortunately, the weapon refiners of Han and Bai both have rich experience and are skilled in cooperation.
Works extremely efficiently.
After chatting with Han Jing for a while and checking that the quality of the refining ore had reached the fourth level, Chen Ling left the workshop.
