Chapter 152 Puppet Army Formation, Hidden Trump Card [Big Chapter]
With Minghuang Jianzi’s affirmation, Ye Linyuan quickly gained a sense of proportion.
He immediately took out a batch of Xuanyuan Dan and handed it to him, and then took out a list and handed it to Minghuang Jianzi and said: "I just need a batch of materials, maybe I need help from fellow Taoists?"< br>
“Oh?”
Minghuang Jianzi went over to take a look, and then he couldn’t help but said in surprise: “The materials you want this time are really quite a lot.”
"We are not strong enough. We need to make more preparations if we want to win."
Ye Linyuan took a deep breath, his face extremely solemn.
This time, the list submitted by Ye Linyuan, in addition to dozens of first-order high-grade spirit-gathering beads, also included hundreds of second-order materials, including seven or eight second-order mid-grade materials. Lingzhen.
These treasures alone are worth hundreds of spirit stones, and the total value combined is no less than 50,000 spirit stones.
Fortunately, Minghuang Jianzi is worthy of being the direct descendant of the Jindan Immortal Sect. He just pondered for a moment and then said: "Don't worry, with my channels, it is not too difficult to obtain these materials, and your batch of Xuanyuan Dan is also Enough to check out.”
"Just wait a few more months. I'll collect it all and send it to you by then."
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist."
Having said that, Ye Linyuan said no more. He left the Tianxing Sword Sect all the way and stopped by the Lingsang Liu Family to buy a batch of second-level middle-grade spiritual silk.
After doing all this, Ye Linyuan quietly returned to Yejia Island.
After returning to the family, he immediately took out the spiritual silk and twelve pieces of second-order mid-grade spiritual wood, and began to refining the Yuan Chen Water Control Flag.
After exploring the Yimu earth veins, Ye Linyuan obtained fourteen pieces of the second-level mid-grade, and had the idea of refining the Yuan Chen Water Control Flag. However, he was unable to refine it due to the lack of second-grade mid-grade spiritual silk.
This time, the second-level mid-grade spiritual silk was ordered by Ye Linyuan with Liu Xuanheng several years in advance. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to get it together.
Because there are only two mid-stage foundation-building spiritual silkworms among the Lingsang Liu Clan, the spiritual silkworms usually produced are not for sale and can only be purchased with sufficient connections and channels.
Ye Linyuan was able to buy this batch of spiritual silk mainly because they were both people of the same fate, and they had a vague understanding of cooperation.
Now that he had gathered the second-level mid-grade spirit wood and the Yuan Chen water control flag, Ye Linyuan naturally did not delay any more time, but saw that he continued to compile the formation flag, and after seven days, he finally made it again. Set of new Yuan Chen water control flags.
"The power is pretty good."
Ye Linyuan re-sacrificially refined the Yuan Chen Water Control Flag, then activated it again, and immediately found that the new formation flag was far better than the original one.
The control power, suppression power, and blessing of Ye Linyuan of this set of second-level mid-level formation flags are far improved by about 70 to 80% compared to the original.
If the original Yuan Chen Water Control Flag was about as powerful as an ordinary high-grade spiritual weapon, then the current Yuan Chen Water Control Flag is one level more powerful than a high-grade spiritual weapon.
“This kind of power is between high-grade spiritual weapons and rare spiritual weapons, and the ability to trap enemies and defense have been increased by at least 50%.”
"If we activate this formation again to trap the enemy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill them in the middle stage of foundation building."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart. Although his Yuan Chen water control flag was powerful before, the monks in the middle stage of foundation building could only You need to pay a certain price to get out. For example, Meng Laozu and Jiuqu Linghe were forced to get out.
The Black Shark Demon in the middle stage of foundation building can even forcefully break out from the combined attack of the Blood Soul Formation and Yuan Chen's Water Control Flag.
It can be seen that Yuan Chen's water control flag at that time was not powerful enough to pose a fatal threat to the middle stage of foundation building.
But the current Yuan Chen Water Control Flag is very different. The power of this formation has increased by about 50%. In addition, Ye Linyuan's cultivation has broken through the middle stage of foundation construction, and its strength is much greater than before. Make progress.
Therefore, Ye Linyuan estimated that it would be difficult for monks in the middle stage of foundation building to get out of the formation.
“With this formation, we may be able to start planning for the battle ten years later.”
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, then put away the set of formation flags, and began to Warm up this new set of Yuan Chen water control flags.
Time flies, and three months passed quickly.
Until this day, Minghuang Jianzi delivered the materials Ye Linyuan needed as promised.
This time, Minghuang Jianzi sent nearly a hundred first-order high-grade spirit gathering beads at once, which was enough to cultivate ten second-order low-grade spirit springs.
Ye Linyuan first put away these spirit-gathering beads, walked into the depths of the sea, and secretly placed them on the deep-sea islands.
Then he returned to his family and began to process hundreds of second-level materials.
He first used seven or eight pieces of second-level mid-grade materials as a basis to refine several mid-grade spiritual weapons, including three flying swords.
Then he distributed these middle-grade spiritual weapons to Shui Hanqing and Zhou Yuwan, so that each of them got two medium-grade spiritual weapons.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, after the three women break through to the middle stage of foundation building, and then refine these middle-grade spiritual weapons, they should all have the strength of the top middle stage of foundation building.
This kind of strength is probably similar to that of the Great Demon Heikui. To deal with Taoist Xuanyu in the middle stage of ordinary foundation building, it is not a problem to fight one against two.
In addition to these middle-grade spiritual weapons, Ye Linyuan planned to use the remaining second-level materials to refine the puppets.
The spiritual consciousness of a foundation-building monk is limited, and he can refine up to three spiritual weapons, or two spiritual weapons plus a foundation-building puppet.
Ye Linyuan is preparing to refine a batch of puppets and give them to Ye Qinchu, who is the puppet master, to use, which should greatly increase their strength.
Refining foundation-building puppets consumes a lot of materials. These hundreds of second-level materials can only refine seven or eight early-stage foundation-building puppets. Fortunately, Ye Linyuan has the three-headed demon crocodile skeleton in his hand, which can make up for part of the lack of materials.
With the materials in hand, Ye Linyuan immediately took action and refined the puppets with Ye Qinchu, who was also a second-level puppet master.
They were busy for more than half a year, and finally consumed all the materials. They got a total of nine puppets that were comparable to the early stage of foundation building, including three crocodile puppets, three bull puppets, and three Giant eagle puppet.
“With these nine puppets, we can already form a puppet army.”
Looking at these puppets in front of him, Ye Qinchu couldn’t help showing a look of surprise.
Ye Linyuan couldn't help but nodded slightly. The puppet military formation was a method exclusive to puppet masters.
The puppet master himself is not very strong in fighting skills, but he is very good at controlling puppets. He can even use special skills to arrange the puppets into military formations, which greatly increases the strength of the puppet military formations.
As a second-level low-level puppet refining master, Ye Qinchu controls this puppet army with the secret method in the Puppet Refining Dao Sutra. He doesn’t dare to say that he can fight against the late stage of foundation building, but he should have his own abilities when facing the late stage of foundation building. The power of protection.
It is precisely because of the abnormal ability of the puppet army that Ye Linyuan never killed a golden elixir puppet master in his previous life, and never received the puppet inheritance at the golden elixir level.
“The puppet master is a broad and profound lineage, and is often a model of the weak defeating the strong.”
Understanding this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Second uncle practices the Puppet Taoist Scripture, and I will leave this puppet army formation to you for safekeeping from now on."
Ye Qinchu did not answer, but asked in a deep voice. : "Puppets are an excellent means of protection. Do you want to share some with the clan?"
"No need."
Ye Linyuan shook his head, and then said: "Only you can form a puppet army. , and the more puppets there are, the greater the power of the military formation. Only when these puppets are in your hands can they exert their greatest power."
When Ye Qinchu heard this, he said nothing more.
In fact, Ye Linyuan is also a second-level puppet master, but the puppet army also has great limitations.
Because the puppet army formation is suitable for positional warfare, but it is not flexible enough in terms of fighting skills, and activating nine puppets at the same time will definitely occupy almost all of the monk's spiritual consciousness.
Ye Linyuan has mastered so many Taoist spells and also has a set of second-level mid-level Yuan Chen water control flags. Naturally, he will not abandon the near and far to pursue the path of a puppet master.
The main reason is that the cultivation of a puppet master consumes a lot of energy. Once he practices it concurrently, it is likely to delay his progress in cultivation.
Ye Linyuan was able to become a second-level high-grade puppet master in his previous life, mainly because after his cultivation reached the Golden Elixir Great Perfection, he could not make any progress for nearly three hundred years.
Since his cultivation cannot improve, he can only practice various cultivation arts. Anyway, he is bored when he is idle, so it is reasonable to improve his knowledge and experience.
After all, for him at that time, practicing the second-level cultivation skills was a master's degree, and the difficulty was much simpler than that of ordinary foundation-building monks.
Getting back to the subject, after handing over the nine-headed foundation-building initial stage puppet to Ye Qinchu, Ye Linyuan began to continue cultivating in secret, taking care of the spiritual field while making various preparations for the war.
“…”
Time flies so fast, almost ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Ye Linyuan is eighty-five years old and has been practicing for seventy years.
“Huh!”
On this day, Ye Linyuan slowly ended his practice, and then took a slow, deep breath.
He calmly sensed himself, sensed the powerful true energy in his dantian, and couldn't help but nodded slightly: "Two hundred and forty-eight mana."
Breaking through the middle stage of foundation building to date , unknowingly it has been seventeen years, his true energy has increased by nearly a hundred compared to when he first broke through, and his own cultivation has barely touched the threshold of the sixth level of foundation building.
If compared to the late stage of ordinary foundation building, he is probably equivalent to a monk at the eighth level of foundation building.
In addition to his magic power, Ye Linyuan's protection methods have also improved to a certain extent in the past ten years. His four spells, Suyue Dihui, Minghe Gongying, Jiuxiao Mingyue, and Autumn Water, have all reached the level of Mahayana magic. the apex.
Next, all it takes is a suitable opportunity to transform it into a realm of pseudo-supernatural powers.
In addition, he practices Tao Yun Contemplation day and night, and his spiritual consciousness has touched the pinnacle of the foundation-building realm, which is comparable to that of a monk who has completed the foundation-building process.
Overall, Ye Linyuan's strength has improved a lot, and has been upgraded from the seventh level of foundation building to a level comparable to the eighth level of foundation building.
Although his killing methods are not as good as those late-stage foundation-building monks with golden spiritual roots, he is definitely not weak among the late-stage foundation-building monks.
“My strength has been raised to the current limit.”
“Next, if there is no chance of enlightenment, I can only rely on hard work to increase my magic power.”
"Fortunately, I am not the only one in the family who is improving."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and couldn't help but smile.
In the past ten years, Chu Lingxi, Zhou Yuwan, and Shui Hanqing have all broken through the middle stage of foundation building. Their overall strength has been greatly improved compared to before the breakthrough.
Among them, Zhou Yuwan and Chu Lingxi are both roughly as powerful as the top sixth level of Foundation Establishment. Shui Hanqing is even stronger with the blessing of the Taoist body, and can be regarded as half the strength of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. .
In addition, Jiaoyue Bei also broke through the middle stage of foundation establishment not long ago, and is considered to be the most common mid-stage foundation establishment combat power.
The King Kong Giant Ape is still in the early stage of foundation building, but his cultivation has reached the third level of foundation building, and his overall strength is barely comparable to an ordinary mid-stage foundation building monk.
In addition to these mid-stage foundation building combat capabilities, Han Chi has already broken through the mid-stage foundation building stage, and his strength is even comparable to that of the late stage foundation building stage. However, this is the last trump card that Ye Linyuan dare not use easily. Ye Qinchu's own strength is average, but relying on the power of the nine-headed puppet army, he can compete with the later stage of foundation building during positional battles.
Ye Qinxin's strength is average, and Water Silkworm doesn't have much combat power. They are both forces that cannot be used easily.
“In addition to me, the combat power that the family can dispatch includes three top mid-term foundation building stages, two ordinary mid-stage foundation building stages, and a set of puppet military formations.”
“Five Guhe Waterworm is not strong enough, so just stay with the family."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and then came to the mountain hall and summoned all the foundation-building monks in the family.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ye Linyuan said straight to the point: "We have been preparing for this battle for many years, and it is time to start the war."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly looked solemn.
Then Ye Qinchu pondered slightly, and then asked: "How should the candidates be arranged?"
"I have already planned the layout of this battle."
Ye Linyuan said calmly , and then sealed the hall with a ban, and informed everyone of his secret deployment.
I don't know how long it took, but the door of the main hall opened again, and a mighty recruitment order came from Yejia Island, and soon spread throughout the Xinghu Islands.
"..."
The Jiazi War, the army invaded the Heikui Islands.
As soon as this news came out, it quickly caused an uproar in the Star Lake Islands.
Many young people know little about the Jiazi War, and some old people who survived the war all showed fear.
Some people are afraid of war, but others are eager for it.
Because the Ye family’s stake in this battle is not low, anyone who can make meritorious service in this battle will definitely receive rewards far beyond those in the past, including even a Foundation Building Pill.
According to Ye's explanation, whoever can capture the Canghai Pearl, or perform a sufficiently great feat on the battlefield, will be rewarded with a Foundation Building Pill.
Moreover, in recent years, the number of monks in the Qinghe Islands has increased, and some radicals have the idea of expanding their territory.
Now that I have received Ye's edict, I immediately began to prepare for this war.
About a few months later, tens of thousands of monks gathered together outside the Seven Islands of Star Lake. Finally, after a simple formation, the troops divided into three groups and headed for the Heikui Islands.
This time, they took the same route as the Qinghe Xianmen back then. The middle army was led by Ye Linze and the right army was led by Ye Huaixue.
Both of them have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. They have broken through the foundation building many times, but they have only missed the last step. They have each mastered a rare magic weapon, and their strength is among those of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. The best among them.
The left route army was brought by Ye Chongyun. He was the only true disciple of Ye Jiaming. Not only had he reached Qi Lian Perfection, but he had also defeated four Qi Lian Perfection Alliances in one battle.
Everyone in the world believes that Ye Chongyun is extremely talented and is the seed of the best Taoist foundation in the future. He is very likely to have a hint of golden elixir potential.
"This place is Xuanling Island."
In the fleet of nearly a thousand treasure ships, Ye Chongyun and Ye Yingxu stood on the bow together, and then looked at Xuanling Island in front of them, and couldn't help but feel... A smile appeared.
When Ye Linchu on the side saw this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Before Jiazi, many foundation-building forces such as Qinghe Xianmen, Minghuang Jianzi, Chixia Sect, etc. were competing here."
"In the end, we, the leader of the Ye family, were the better, and we got the opportunity to build a superior foundation."
Hearing this, Ye Chongyun couldn't help but smile and said: "That's it, I, the leader of the Ye family, Who knows skill and courage? ”
After saying this, he looked at the people on the side and said: "Give me the order to rest here tonight. After replenishing fresh water and supplies, we will set out to kill the Heikui Islands."
"Understood."
Everyone nodded, and the order was quickly passed on.
The big ship quickly docked and arrived at the Xuanling Island. Ye Chongyun took a look at the island and couldn't help but said in surprise: "It's strange, why are there so many reefs here?"
Ye Linchu on the side heard the words and immediately said: "This is what was left by the people behind the Xuanling Sanren back then. It is said that it is the foundation of the Taiyin Spirit Photographing Array. Back then, this array could temporarily resist the foundation building. Later.”
Hearing this, Ye Chongyun wanted to say something else.
But Ye Yingxu shook her head and stopped him from asking any more questions.
All the way to Xuanling Island, Ye Chongyun saw no one around, so he couldn't help looking at Ye Yingxu excitedly and asked: "Yingxu, what is going on? Is the family here? A secret plan?"
"There are some things we shouldn't know yet." Ye Yingxu shook her head.
Seeing this, Ye Chongyun immediately understood something, and immediately smiled and said: "I understand, the ancestor must have set up a back-up here, and even upgraded the Taiyin Spiritual Photography Array to make it strong enough to withstand Attack in the later stage of foundation building. ”
"Hehe, when the time comes, the ancestor may be able to kill them with this formation."
Ye Yingxu did not answer, but there was a hint of darkness in his eyes.
He pondered for a moment, and finally made a point: "Those people attract the clan leader to snatch the Canghai Pearl, and they will definitely not put the Canghai Pearl on the body of a strong foundation builder."
"So when the time comes, they will definitely hunt the clan leader, and we will all have the possibility of taking the Canghai Pearl."
"Just remember, once you can seize the Canghai Pearl, you must escape all the way here. , only then will it be possible to keep the Canghai Pearl.”
Ye Chongyun was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but curiously touched his head and asked: "I'm just curious, why don't they put the Pearl of the Sea on the foundation-building powerhouse?"
"Confused."
< br>Ye Yingxu shook his head immediately, and then said: "If it is placed on a strong foundation-building person, the clan leader will not be sure to take it away. Do you think the clan leader will still fight hard with them?"
< br>Ye Chongyun hesitated for a moment, and then said after a long time: "The enemy is strong and we are weak. If I am not sure of getting back the Canghai Pearl, then I can only give up."
"That's it." Ye Yingxu nodded. , and then said: "Once the Canghai Pearl falls into the hands of juniors like us, the clan leader will be unable to give up the Canghai Pearl."
"In order to ensure that you can bring the Canghai Pearl back, or hand it over to him, he will inevitably fight with the opponent's foundation-building monks."
"As long as the clan leader does not escape, those hostile foundation-building monks will They won’t take the Canghai Pearl away from you, because once the Canghai Pearl is recovered by them, the clan leader will definitely give up fighting with them and run away directly.”
“Now, do you understand?”
Ye Chongyun was a little confused when he heard it, and it wasn't until a moment later that he roughly understood something.
So he couldn't help scratching his head, frowning and said: "Doesn't that mean that this pearl in the sea will definitely fall into the hands of my Ye family?"
"With so many twists and turns, they might as well just hand over the Pearl of the Canghai to me."
Ye Yingxu did not answer. He lingered in place for a moment, but still said in deep thought: "Some things are not It’s so simple. Since the other party dares to make plans, I’m afraid their apparent strength is far greater than ours.”
“In this battle, the pressure on the clan leaders is probably even greater. We expected it to be even bigger."
Speaking of this, Ye Yingxu thought of Ye Linyuan's soaring luck, and the pressure in his heart could not help but relax: "Yes, if even this level is reached. If you can’t get through it, your ancestor will not be so lucky.”
Putting his thoughts aside, Ye Yingxu calmed down and arranged for the tribe to rest.
"..."
Early the next morning, they continued to set off, heading all the way to the Heikui Islands.
They fought all the way to the deep sea outside the Heikui Islands, and then fought outside the Conch Islands again.
After many years, the conch clan here has disappeared, replaced by a group of demon clan called White Feather Sparrows. They have thrived here for decades, and there are nearly a hundred in number, including one practicing Qi. The monster of Dzogchen.
At this time, facing the attack of everyone, this group of white-feathered birds did not dare to neglect, and fled to the depths of the void long ago.
Although those monks who had perfected their qi training killed them one step ahead, they only had time to catch a few of the qi training monsters, and most of the rest of the white-feathered sparrows escaped.
"The spirit bird clan is really not easy to deal with."
Seeing that most of the white-feathered birds fled, Ye Chongyun couldn't help but shook his head with regret.
He asked the army to move to the outskirts of the Conch Islands to make final repairs, and then looked at Ye Yingxu, only to find that Ye Yingxu was looking at this place in a daze.
“What’s wrong?”
Ye Chongyun couldn't help but ask.
Ye Yingxu shook his head, and then said: "I heard that there used to be a terrain where the Five Yun returned to their origin, but now it seems that there are some changes."
"Change?" Ye Chongyun said slightly. Startled.
Ye Yingxu nodded, and then said: "The changes in the earth's veins here have turned into a tidal terrain created by records."
Ye Chongyun was a little confused and couldn't help but ask. : "What's so strange about this terrain?"
"Can bless water attribute formations." Ye Yingxu said calmly, then took a deep breath, looked at Ye Chongyun helplessly and said: "In order to prevent others from inferring, there are some things that the clan leader cannot explain clearly."
< br>"He asked you to take me with you this time, presumably because he was worried that your elm-headed mind would not be able to see through the layout of this place."
After saying this, Ye Yingxu took a deep breath and said: "That's all. , the war will start later, you just run to this place and Xuanling Island."
After the army repaired the Five Conch Islands, which is now the Baiyu Five Islands, they continued to the Heikui Islands. Dial away.
They fought all the way to the Heikui Islands, and Ye Chongyun ordered according to the plan: "Everyone spreads out to hunt the demon clan. If anyone can find information about the Canghai Pearl, we, the Ye Clan's Immortal Clan, will be heavily rewarded. ”
At the same time, Ye Linyuan, who was deep in the sky, saw this scene and couldn't help but said thoughtfully: "Today's scene is almost the same as back then."
"The opponent's layout is also the same as that of Minghuang Jianzi. There are some similarities, but I don’t know who’s method is better in the end.”
“I think there must be someone from Xuanling Sanren making plans behind all this, right?”
Zhou Yu. Wan frowned slightly, then sneered: "They want to recreate the battle back then, but under such a conspiracy, I'm afraid it's not just the same layout as back then."
"I think they are secretly doing it. , and prepared some methods beyond our expectations?”
Shui Hanqing on the side nodded, and then said: "But they thought that we were just here for the Pearl of the Canghai, but they didn't know that our strength and real purpose was much more than that."
"This time It depends on who has the better trump card between us."
