Chapter 334 Puppetry (first update)

Chapter 334 Puppetry (first update)

Su Jie asked someone for directions, and this time he finally found the Puppet Hall.

Its location is in the corner of the mountain gate, which is not a problem. Many parts of the hall are dangerous, such as the Weapon Refining Hall. If the refining fails, there will be an explosion.

"This place is really shabby!"

Su Jie looked at the Puppet Hall. It occupied a large area, but it was very old inside.

The wooden vermilion gate has mottled and peeling leather, stubborn weeds have grown in the gaps between the bluestones in the courtyard, the iron railings are rusty, and the corners of the beams have become a paradise for spider webs.

Creak!

Su Jie pushed open the half-open door and walked in calmly.

"Senior Brother Zhu, the poisonous ivy has been extracted. Please see if you need to further dry it to extract the silk."

"This black ice stone is going to be ground. We need it in powder form to increase the puppet's cold resistance."

"The movement of this puppet's arm is too rough. Whoever is responsible for handling it, I can't even straighten the arm."

"High-grade spiritual stones? Where can I find high-grade spiritual stones for you now? Just make do with medium-grade spiritual stones. The power is almost there."

Bursts of discussion came from the courtyard. More than thirty disciples were busy here. Some were processing raw materials, some were assembling the puppets, and some were testing the performance of the puppets.

Su Jie did not immediately come forward to interrupt, but stood aside and watched.

In a huge flat field, these disciples had a clear division of labor. With their physique far exceeding that of ordinary people, they were calibrating and training a two-meter-five-meter combat puppet.

This kind of combat puppet has a blue body and a round head with gems as eyes and detection mechanism.

The body is basically the same as that of an ordinary person, with wide feet and hands that can be freely extended and contracted. The materials made of it are quite extraordinary, including purple rhyme golden mulberry wood, polar crystal, moon spirit iron, poisonous devil vine, earth flame steel bone...

Su Jie scanned it with his consciousness and found that the spiritual materials he recognized were worth more than two thousand spiritual stones.

If you include the seven or eight middle-grade spirit stones that drive the energy, such a battle puppet costs three thousand spirit stones, which can wipe out the entire net worth of an ordinary inner disciple.

Such a battle puppet, judging from the dent caused by stepping on the ground, weighs nearly ten tons.

After the battle puppet was adjusted, the person who tested it was a shirtless, tall and thick man with an unusually loud voice.

"Get out of the way, everyone, I'm going to test this Raging Flame Puppet."

The strong man shouted, and the disciples around him ran away and watched on the other side.

Su Jie naturally blended into the crowd and watched with the others.

"Drink, Furious Flame No. 1, target the stone peak in front."

The strong man pinched the magic weapon, and the blue puppet's two gem eyes shone with light, but the heavy body took a light step and flew past at a speed that was almost close to the ground.

Teng!

A miniature formation appeared on the puppet's body, and blue flames burned brightly. The entire body was ignited, and then he waved his fist at a rockery more than ten meters high in front of him.

Boom.

The blue flame turned into a fire dragon and exploded the rockery in all directions in an instant.

Large pieces of broken stone flew all over the sky, causing a group of disciples to cheer happily.

Puff puff puff!

The puppet opened its mouth and sprayed out a series of fireballs accurately, hitting the falling large pieces of gravel and further shattering them. This was a demonstration of its long-range attack capability.

The next moment, the puppet hit hard against a solid cast steel plate, directly denting and deforming the steel plate. However, there was no damage to the puppet itself, and its defensive capabilities were also good.

In the end, this puppet tested its strength and speed and was able to run at a speed of more than one hundred meters per second. If the energy consumption of the spirit stone was not taken into account, its maximum speed could exceed three hundred meters and it could lift hundreds of tons of steel columns.

After the test, the audience burst into applause.

The disciples' faces were full of joy and they began to discuss it.

"This Raging Flame Puppet is really good. In terms of combat power, it must have the combat power of a fourth-grade puppet, right?"

"There must be one. Senior Brother Zhu is so awesome! This puppet was all designed by him."

"Let's make more. At our speed, we can make one in half a month."

"You paid for it? This Raging Flame Puppet was made possible by everyone's frugality and hard work."

"Uh."

After the discussion, everyone's interest dropped a little.

"I can sponsor one or two."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Who, who wants to sponsor us?"

The disciples looked around and soon found Su Jie who was speaking.

"Who are you!"

These disciples looked surprised when they found a stranger in the team.

"You have no sense of confidentiality at all!"

Su Jie shook his head. These disciples probably haven't left the Puppet Hall for several days. They stayed here to build the Raging Flame Puppet. They didn't even know about the important matter of Su Jie being promoted to the Secret Realm.

"Wait, you are Senior Brother Su."

Suddenly, a disciple recognized Su Jie's face. As the number one disciple, his face was still highly recognizable in Ghost Ridge Palace. Even the disciples who stayed in the Puppet Hall doing research all day had seen it. Su Jie.

"Elder Su."

At the same time, the strong man who had just tested the Raging Flame Puppet suddenly shouted, with a look of shock on his face.

"Ah! Elder?"

The surrounding disciples were all stunned, their eyes full of astonishment.

"Senior Brother Su has been promoted to the secret realm, and when he broke through, he also caused a strange phenomenon in the world. I have seen it before when I went out."

The brawny disciple opened his mouth to explain, then approached Su Jie and said curiously: "Elder Su, I am Zhu Changqi, an inner disciple, and also the senior brother of the Puppet Hall. I have been managing this place since Master left. I didn't know you were here this time. It’s...”

Zhu Changqi was confused. He didn't hear that Master Peng Qin'an had any interaction with Su Jie during his lifetime!

No, although he has no relationship with Su Jie, the master has a relationship with Mr. Qiu, and he still owes money.

And Su Jie is a disciple of Qiu Laodao, could he be here...

Zhu Changqi's face became embarrassed, and he said with a stiff face: "That... that Elder Su, we really have no money now, can you please let us slow down for a while?"

Seeing Su Jie sizing up the Raging Flame Puppet again, Zhu Changqi gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said with reluctance: "Elder Su, if you like this puppet, use it to offset part of the bill first."

When the disciples around him heard this, their faces were filled with reluctance.

This puppet had been created after Peng Qin'an's death and they had gone through a lot of hard work.

Seeing that it is about to be confiscated before it can be warmed up, who would be willing to do this?

But facing Su Jie, a young elder with no bright future, who dares to say no? After all, their Puppet Hall does owe Qiu Laodao's master money and has not repaid it.

Su Jie had a playful smile on his face, knowing that they had misunderstood his purpose, so he reached out and squeezed Zhu Changqi's shoulder. "Well, my cultivation at the eighth level of Yunling Realm is pretty good."

When Zhu Changqi heard this, his body suddenly trembled. He thought of those demon cultivators in the sect who used living people to feed insects and practiced the human insect sacrifice method, and his face turned pale.

Su Jie must not be satisfied with getting a battle puppet and want to use him as a supplement.

Now that his master Peng Qin'an has died, no one can help him.

"Su...Elder Su, my strength is definitely not worth mentioning to you. It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning at all."

Zhu Changqi wanted to retreat, but his shoulders seemed to be grasped by steel pliers and he could not move at all.

"No, I'm very optimistic about you."

As soon as Su Jie said these words, Zhu Changqi was so frightened that his legs became weak and his face turned pale.

Su Jie saw Zhu Changqi's expression and stopped teasing him. He chuckled and said, "Okay, I'm joking with you. Let me correct your mistake. Don't call me Elder Su. You should call me Hall Master."

"Master?"

Zhu Changqi stared at Su Jie blankly. After a while, he finally came to his senses. His pupils were shaking and his mouth was wide open. He realized that Su Jie was not here to collect debts.

"Yes, starting from today, I, Su Jie, will serve as the leader of the Puppet Hall."

The token representing the identity of the leader of the Puppet Hall was held high by Su Jie. The token revealed majesty and a special magic circle, which could not be forged.

After all the disciples were stunned, they knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "Disciples of the Puppet Hall, pay homage to the Master."

At this time, the eyes of these disciples were extremely excited, including Zhu Changqi, who was scared just now, and his face was also full of excitement at this time.

With Su Jie as the master of the secret realm, the Puppet Hall will have someone to rely on in the future.

Since the fall of Peng Qin'an, the life of the Puppet Hall has become more and more difficult day by day. It was not welcomed in the first place, but now it does not even have a secret realm. You can imagine the situation.

"No need, tell me about the Puppet Hall."

Su Jie waved his hand. He didn't like these false courtesy.

"Hall Master, the Puppet Hall currently occupies an area of ​​130 acres, with a total of 36 disciples and more than 150 ordinary servants. Except for me, who is an inner disciple, the other disciples are all outer disciples.

In addition, the Puppet Hall currently owns one puppet, which is the current Furious Flame No. 1, and has approximately more than a thousand spiritual stones in its name. ”

Zhu Changqi quickly reported the current situation of the Puppet Hall.

"Elder Peng didn't leave you any legacy?"

Su Jie said suspiciously, this is too poor, and he is still a Tangtou after all.

Zhu Changqi smiled bitterly and said: "Our Puppet Hall has always been operating with debt. After the death of Master, many creditors came to the door, and the remaining spiritual materials and puppets in the Puppet Hall were paid."

Speaking of these sad things, Zhu Changqi looked helpless.

In the past, for Peng Qin'an's sake, others were still willing to pay on credit.

Now that Peng Qin'an has died, it's just a matter of time. He, an inner disciple, is completely unworthy in the eyes of those creditors.

Fortunately, we have Su Jie now, otherwise it would be quite normal for the Puppet Hall to go bankrupt and close down one day.

"It seems that the stall I took over will start from scratch."

Su Jie smiled, having already anticipated the difficulties that the Puppet Hall would face.

"Master still has assets left behind, which are the design drawings of various puppets, including the design concept drawings of the seventh-grade puppets. However, we have no money, no materials, and our skills are poor, so we cannot reproduce them."< br>

Zhu Changqi was very ashamed and stumped by money.

"Which technique is practiced in the Puppet Hall?"

"This is the "Yin Shen Puppet Technique". It is also called puppet manipulation in the outside world. It uses spiritual materials as the foundation and spiritual stones as kinetic energy. It uses the blood, soul and Yin vein breath of the monks as remote control, using spiritual power. Control various combat puppets.”

Zhu Changqi took out a pamphlet and jade slips. The former was Peng Qin'an's manuscript, which contained many annotations and reading experiences left by Peng Qin'an.

The latter is the fundamental method of "Yin Shen Puppet Technique", and it is also the key to making the puppets move.

After Su Jie took it, he absorbed the knowledge inside. The content was much more than he imagined.

As for the puppet material alone, the various toughness, strength, tension, stretch resistance, etc. of the spiritual material must be considered.

Some spiritual materials with attributes, such as flame crystals, will continue to glow and heat, and the conflict and interference of these additional abilities must also be considered.

This is just the beginning. These spiritual materials must be combined cleverly through design, combined with spiritual stones as power output, and micro arrays must be burned internally to establish corresponding energy transmission channels.

In order for the combat puppet to have a certain degree of combat intelligence, it is necessary to prepare a divine heart stone in advance and input a lot of corresponding combat data into the puppet in the form of jade slips.

In this way, when the puppet technique controls multiple puppets to fight, there will be no situation where you are overwhelmed.

After doing all this, you will be a real puppet.

Then he uses his blood to integrate his breath into the puppet, so that he can control it through the air with spiritual power.

Su Jie's head suddenly swelled. This amount of knowledge was really huge. In Su Jie's understanding, it required a lot of knowledge in materials science, dynamics, electronic technology, automation control, etc. It was extremely complicated.

Being able to design a combat puppet on your own is definitely a talent!

"Hall Master, which sect of puppetry did you learn before?"

Zhu Changqi asked curiously that Peng Qin'an's lineage of Yin God Puppet Skills was previously available in Guiling Palace. When Zhu Changqi thought about it, Su Jie was willing to become the master of the Puppet Hall, so he must have mastered the Puppet Skills.

"I've never learned puppetry before."

Su Jie shook his head.

"Ugh!"

Zhu Changqi's mouth twitched, and the disciples around him were also confused.

Who would have thought that Su Jie, the leader of the Puppet Hall, had never learned the art of puppetry.

Their Puppet Hall was such a marginal department, and there was no money to be made. Everyone couldn't figure out why Su Jie wanted to be the leader of the Puppet Hall.

"Master, with your talent, you will definitely be able to learn the puppetry skill at your fingertips. I will also give you the scriptures and puppet design drawings left by the master. You will definitely be able to carry forward our puppet hall."

After Zhu Changqi was stunned, he immediately changed his tune and began to praise.

Regardless of whether Su Jie knew puppetry before, with Su Jie sitting in the puppet hall, his face alone was enough to intimidate a group of young people.

Nowadays, the Guiling Hall, which is in ruins and waiting to be renovated, is unsustainable. It is too late to be happy that it can be seen in the secret realm.

"Haha, okay, there's no point in flattering me. I'll go back and study this "Yin Shen Puppet Technique" for a few days. Now show me around this puppet hall."

Su Jie didn't care about other people's opinions. He already had some ideas in his heart.

Next, Su Jie visited the Puppet Hall and got a good understanding of his future territory.

Afterwards, he gave a banquet to the 36 disciples of the Puppet Hall, and then went back to study the puppetry technique.
