Chapter 714 I'm so stupid, really
It's very difficult to improve a puppet. Even though Taoist Tiemu has lived for so many years, he still hasn't been able to refine a puppet that's good enough to inherit. This is proof.
But sometimes, the improvement of a puppet is very simple, at least easier than that of a practitioner.
In the hands of a sky puppet master, as long as there are enough materials and treasures, it is not difficult to improve the strength of an earth puppet.
Even if it is an earth puppet, it is still a dead thing after all. The improvement of dead things and the transformation of living beings are not the same concept.
As long as you have technology, materials, and a little luck, the puppet can be upgraded.
The owner of this place is undoubtedly the Celestial Puppet Master. The last arrangement he left behind before his death created a Ksitigarbha level puppet. It can be said that it is controlled by both hands. It is reasonable and has no problems.
But the problem is...
This is the opportunity left by the Heavenly Puppet Master to the inheritor. Zhou Qing is not the inheritor, he is just here to make up the numbers.
After the inheritor received part of the inheritance, he practiced hard, studied the puppet way, and then started the subsequent inheritance. "I", the master, left the puppet refining pool to help the disciple's puppets go further.
Arranging this one-stop service is probably a good thing.
But now, something beautiful has gone wrong.
A large number of puppet heart sources were obtained by Zhou Qing.
The puppet lying in the puppet refining pool now also belongs to Zhou Qing.
This matter caused a scene...
"Pavilion Master, Puppet Refining Pond..."
Zhou Qing hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Taoist Tiemu looked at the blazing Puppet Refining Pond, his face bright and dark.
Zhou Qing waited quietly. Now he could understand even if Taoist Tiemu attacked him in anger.
Of course, understanding ≠ I accept.
"Alas..."
Finally, Taoist Tiemu let out a long sigh.
“Perhaps this is the price for my trickery. I didn’t rely on my own ability to obtain the inheritance, so I will end up like this, the cycle of cause and effect, and unsatisfactory retribution.”
“The creation of the Puppet Refining Pond… ...It belongs to you, Puppet Xinyuan counts as the reward for your help, and Lian Puppet Pool also counts!"
The Pavilion Master is grand, and the Pavilion Master will live a long life!
"Thank you, Pavilion Master."
Zhou Qing thanked him solemnly, "If there is anything Zhou Qing can do to help in the future, Pavilion Master, just ask, and I will never refuse."
"Don't say no. I'm so annoyed."
Taoist Tiemu waved his hand, "Damn, I'm such a big idiot, I really want to give myself a few big slaps."
"... …”
It's not that it's not that it's not that. This is because people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Pavilion Master, I can't blame you.
But after getting along with him along the way, Zhou Qing really felt that Taoist Tiemu was a really interesting person, and he was very magnanimous in his behavior, and he was worthy of deep friendship.
Zhou Qing also remembered the relationship between Puppet Xinyuan and Lianpupchichi, which was a great benefit.
As for Taoist Tiemu's outspokenness, this is actually not a shortcoming once you get used to it. At least he doesn't have any bad intentions.
It’s better to speak frankly than to be greedy, right?
If you were given a choice, what kind of person would you choose to be friends with?
The answer is obvious.
Zhou Qing stood next to the puppet refining pool, watching it temper the six spirit puppets.
The flames in the pool are very blazing, and the formations are densely covered, containing terrifying power. From time to time, some liquid after melting gold and iron flows out on the four sides of the pool, and is pulled into the Six Spirit Puppet, allowing The puppet's body undergoes transformation.
A series of formation marks are engraved on the Six Spirit Puppet, making its strength leap.
In fact, the pool of fire turned into an illusory hammer, beating on various parts of the Six Spirit Puppet.
The Heavenly Puppet Master is dead, and the one who is in charge of tempering the puppets now is the formation he set up here.
Once a puppet enters the puppet refining pool, the formation will be activated, and then follow the procedures preset by the Heavenly Puppet Master before he died.
The various treasures that have been processed in advance and the pre-engraved puppet formation patterns will take effect in sequence during this process and play their intended role.
The most obvious one is the bottom of the Six Spirit Puppet.
A steady stream of black power rises from there and enters the Six Spirit Puppet's body, causing the Six Spirit Puppet to undergo a fundamental transformation.
This is the power of the earth, the foundation of the cultivation of earth warriors.
Whether it is elixirs, weapons, or puppets, as long as it involves the earth or heaven level, you need to use the power of "earth" and "heaven".
In the previous three days, the same was true when Taoist Tiemu promoted the Six Spirit Puppet.
The practitioner himself has reached the realm of earth and heaven, so it is naturally very easy to mobilize the power of "earth" and "heaven".
And if you are refining treasures across borders, then if your own skill level is sufficient, you can also use external objects to pull "earth" and "heaven".
Of course, those metal minerals and medicinal treasures that reach the earth level and heaven level also contain the power of "earth" and "heaven".
Zhou Qing watched all this intently, combined with the knowledge of formations he had learned, and gained some insights.
At this time, Taoist Tiemu suddenly said:
“Once the puppet refining pool is opened, it cannot be closed. If you want to forcibly stop the puppet refining process, then it will lose its effect unless there is a A Heavenly Puppet Master who is not inferior to Master can close the Puppet Refining Pond without damaging it.”
This kind of formation program preset in advance has its limitations after all.
"If I could control it, I would definitely stop it and let my natal puppet enjoy this good fortune, alas."
Taoist Tiemu sighed again, grandma, make less money It’s just a loss.
He glanced at Zhou Qing and said directly:
"I know that you have been guarding against me in your heart. In fact, I am also wary of you. To be honest, if you are not a disciple of Xuandu Temple , If you are not taken so seriously in Xuandu Temple, I am afraid that I will have bad thoughts.”
"But you, the banished immortal, I really don't dare to move. I finally got the inheritance, and I don't want to be chased to death by Xuandu Guan."
"Now that the matter is over, there is no need to be on guard anymore. What are you talking about? It’s a foregone conclusion that you will get the Puppet Refining Pond and the Puppet Heart Source, and I will get the master’s other things.”
“…”
Zhou Qingwuyan, you don’t have to be like this either. Be honest.
“The Pavilion Master and I met each other for the first time, so it’s normal for us to be wary of each other.”
Zhou Qing smiled and said: "But character can be seen in the details. I believe we can be friends after this incident."
"Ha." Taoist Tiemu smiled.
“Being friends with you, a banished immortal, is something I’m above.”
“But if you really think about it, after getting these two benefits, you can barely be considered my junior brother. If you need help with anything in the future, just come to me directly."
Taoist Tiemu is a sweet-tempered person, but he is really not a fool. It can be seen from his last words that he is very smart. .
Now that the outcome has been decided, and there is no way for him to transfer the benefits Zhou Qing received to him, he might as well take advantage of this fate and make good friends with Zhou Qing.
If you can make friends with a banished immortal who has been practicing for two years and has reached the second stage of transformation, then the long-term benefits will definitely not be smaller than the Puppet Refining Pond or something like that.
For the sake of the unchangeable profit distribution results, parting ways with a genius like Zhou Qing and starting a fight would have to be something that an idiot would do.
That’s why Temu Tao talents gave way again and again.
For Zhou Qing, having an Earth Puppet Master as a friend, and an Earth Puppet Master with a complete Heaven Puppet Master inheritance, is a great thing with no harm at all.
Of course he wouldn't refuse.
“Zhou Qing will never forget today’s feelings.”
The atmosphere became much more harmonious for a while. Taoist Tiemu pointed again:
“Lian Puppet In addition to raising your puppet to a higher level, Chi can also give him the power of fire. . ”
“This is this kind of pool fire. Although it is not a different fire from heaven and earth, it is produced by a puppet fire formation created by the master. It is very powerful. It is very powerful for the puppet itself. This flame can speed up the recovery of the body and is very suitable for your immortal marrow.”
"When fighting the enemy, this flame has extra damage to the creatures. It is a kind of fighting fire that can improve the puppet's combat power."
Zhou Qing nodded, feeling pleased with himself.
Okay, that’s great.
After coming here, Zhou Qing was extremely satisfied with such a big harvest.
“Pavilion Master, how long will this tempering last?”
"I guess it won't be completed today. It will take three to five days. Just wait."
In three to five days, it's worth changing to a Ksitigarbha-level puppet!
Tiemu Taoist left the Puppet Refining Pond, bowed to the stone statue of the old man, and then put it away.
He said to himself: "I can reach this point only because of the help of my master. He has passed away for an unknown number of years. From now on, in my lineage, I will bow to my master's portrait when I enter. . ”
“Let’s practice here before the puppet is tempered. If we go out this time, this place will collapse and cease to exist. ”
This also means that it is not feasible to return to Yujing first and wait a few days to retrieve the puppet.
Zhou Qing has no objection to practicing here.
Taoist Tiemu took out an ancient book and read it with concentration.
This ancient book was what he collected from the stone table just now. Zhou Qing estimated that it should be inherited from the Puppet Dao, and Zhou Qing was not very interested in it.
Even if he was interested, he wouldn't be able to come over and take a look at this time.
"Quack!"
At this time, Frogboy's voice sounded, Zhou Qing's heart moved, and then he went to a corner calmly.
In Soul Township, Frogboy jumped out of the gray mist.
Frogboy has been out for several days since he brought him back to Diliantai last time. Returning today made Zhou Qing look forward to it.
On the lotus leaf on the frog's back, there are three things placed this time. The quantity is not much, but Zhou Qing believes that the quality is definitely not low. His breakthrough has indeed raised Frogboy's upper limit.
The first of the three treasures turned out to be a real dragon made of condensed water, as long as an adult's arm.
What is this? Some kind of dragon?
When touched with mental power, a voice message immediately sounded. It sounded like the voice of a young man.
“The essence of the water veins of the Tianhe River? The Dao Palace fell and the Tianhe River dried up. I didn’t expect that the remaining Tianhe River here could still breed the essence of the water veins. It can be called a miracle.”
"The essence of dragon-shaped water veins is also at the top among all the essences of water veins. It is quite a blessing."
"This is a rare treasure suitable for the aquatic tribe. Fellow Taoist Dragon, according to our advance After setting the distribution rules, it belongs to you."
"Thank you all. Fellow Daoist."
"You don't have to be polite, Fellow Daoist Dragon. With this essence of water veins, Fellow Daoist Long will be able to break through the realm of transformation and transform into water just around the corner."
"Dragon-shaped water. The essence of the pulse is most suitable for the dragon clan. Fellow Taoist Dragon is indeed blessed with extraordinary luck.”
All sounds disappeared amid the crowd of congratulations.
"The essence of water veins, I have never heard of this thing before."
Looking at the water dragon suspended in his hand, Ripple said.
The words carried by the Water Vein Essence did not explain this treasure clearly, but Zhou Qing at least understood it somewhat.
This is a treasure that is very suitable for the Aquatic Tribe. It has a known effect. It may help the Aquatic Tribe break through the realm and improve its strength.
This function alone means that it has a very high value. The things Frogboy has brought back are of high quality, which also means that the essence of water veins can be effective on masters.
As for whether it has other effects, Zhou Qing is currently unknown.
I’ll ask Ao Xuanwei later to see if she knows about the Water Vein Essence.
"Tao Palace..."
Zhou Qing thought of another word mentioned in those voices just now.
The Earth Lotus Platform he obtained last time came from the ruins of the Taoist Palace.
It seems that the essence of water veins is the same?
The ruins of Dao Palace sound like a place like ruins, and in such a place, it is natural for people to explore.
If the earth lotus platform and the essence of water veins can be found, the ruins of the palace are probably very extraordinary.
The second treasure is two big eyes, but they don't look weird and scary. Instead, they give people an alternative sense of beauty.
Zhou Qing still couldn't recognize it and continued to trigger the voice.
"The pupil of true vision that can see through restrictions and break through all kinds of illusions? Brother Wei actually has such a treasure. With this object, our safety after entering the ruins of the Taoist Palace will be greatly improved."
“That’s right, we will have to rely on Brother Wei more in the future.”
"Hahaha, you guys are being humble. My pair of true seeing pupils is at the Earth level and can only see through part of the forbidden ground formation. The ruins of the Dao Palace are dangerous and unpredictable, so we still can't be careless."
"Such a magical effect is already even more powerful for exploring the ruins of the Dao Palace."
"I heard that although the Pupils of True Sight look like human eyes, they are actually treasures naturally nurtured by heaven and earth?"
"This statement is correct. This pair of Pupils of True Sight is from the Wei family It is found in the treasure land of heaven and earth, where there are natural restrictions and natural illusions, but in the deepest place, this treasure that breaks through illusions and forbidden areas is born."
"Its true nature. The essence is actually a unique condensed form of the secret power of heaven and earth. It just happens to look like an eye pupil. It can be absorbed by directly sticking it to the eye. After absorbing it, both the soul and the body can have the ability of true vision. "
“The creation of heaven and earth is really mysterious.”
The voice disappeared, but an uncontrollable smile appeared on Zhou Qing’s face.
The Earth-level Eye of True Sight that can see through some of the earth's forbidden areas and formations, and can break through all kinds of illusions!
Good stuff, now I have it too.
This kind of thing is so precious that it can be robbed for sky-high prices if left outside.
Although it cannot bring about a direct increase in combat power, if you put the Eyes of True Vision in front of anyone, he will not refuse to have such an ability, especially since Zhou Qing himself has special eyes. talent.
The bonus to him from this pair of True Seeing Eyes will probably be great.
Without hesitation, Zhou Qing directly put the pair of treasures on his eyes. Although they are souls now, this thing can act on both the body and the soul at the same time. There is no problem in using it now.
When the treasure that was originally a solid shape came into contact with the eyes, it immediately melted into a liquid and then merged with the eyes.
Cool and comfortable, without any pain.
Zhou Qing could feel that his eyes were continuously undergoing some changes.
While his eyes were undergoing transformation, Zhou Qing looked at the third treasure.
It was a brush made of unknown hair, and the barrel looked like a kind of bamboo.
Zhou Qing sensed that the power contained in this pen was not weak, it had completely reached the earth level, but it did not look like an earth artifact or earth soldier.
Pent into it with mental power and obtain the voice information carried.
"The secret treasure of the Talisman Array, the Luanhe Pen! This is the top earth-level secret treasure!"
"When we take action, we must seize this secret treasure, and we must not let it fall into the hands of others."
"Go away! The Luanhe pen is mine!"
The voice disappeared. It was very short, but it also allowed Zhou Qing to obtain enough information.
"The secret treasure of the talisman formation, Luanhe pen?"
Zhou Qing thought thoughtfully, the secret treasure is not the same type as the conventional magic weapon or weapon, but it is more precious. Nothing less.
This Luanhe pen, as can be known from the mouths of those who are fighting for it, belongs to the field of talisman formation.
The specific function is not clearly stated, but knowing this is actually enough. Zhou Qing can slowly explore it later.
The top prefecture-level secret treasures can fetch a high price even if they are sold.
Zhou Qing was very satisfied with these three things.
Once the treasure level is high, even if he does not use it, it will not affect their value.
High-end treasures, the hard currency among hard currencies.
Let Frogboy continue to set off, Zhou Qing quietly waited for the transformation brought about by the Eye of True Sight to be completed.
In the blink of an eye, four days flew by.
At the Puppet Refining Pond, the fire gradually extinguished and all the formations disappeared.
Zhou Qing and Taoist Tiemu had already been waiting on both sides of the Puppet Refining Pool. After the fire in the pool completely disappeared, the Six Spirit Puppet jumped out with a shock.
Its body turned pure black again, and the little bit of silver light that came with it when it just advanced to the ground puppet also disappeared.
After feeling the situation of the six spirit puppets at this time, Zhou Qing nodded with satisfaction.
"Its strength has indeed reached a new level, and the power of the puppet fire has been successfully controlled."
Looking at the Six Spirit Puppet, Taoist Tiemu said with some envy:
“If this puppet can be cultivated in the future, we can expect it from heaven.”
“Treat it well.”
Hearing this, Zhou Qing looked strange.
"Let's go, it's time to leave."
Taoist Temu turned around and left first, followed by Zhou Qing.
On the way out, the prohibition of the stone gate was no longer visible, and all the way to the entrance of the cave, Taoist Ironwood once again used a drop of his own blood as a guide to open the place.
The two left the cave and looked back. They saw earth and rocks falling in the passage inside the cave, but the cliff itself did not tremble. Soon, the passage disappeared.
Looking at this location from outside the cave, the place has completely returned to normal.
Zhou Qing said: "If this place can be preserved, it can actually be used as a stronghold. At least it will be very hidden."
With the methods of the Celestial Puppet Master, it is difficult to be discovered here. It can indeed be As a secret base.
Taoist Tiemu shook his head, "No, the inheritance has been taken away, and after the Puppet Refining Pool is activated, this place will not be able to support it."
"It's a pity."
The two flew up the cliff. Taoist Tiemu took out his flying artifact and rushed towards Yujing City.
But before flying out of the Taiheng Mountains, it stopped again.
The two people's eyes fell on a mountain in front, and then Zhou Qing looked at Taoist Tiemu, who did the same.
"Pavilion Master, is that your person?"
"Zhou Qing, is that your person?"
When the same question was asked, both of them were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions immediately became serious.
Since he is not from either of them, then...
Four people flew out from the top of the mountain that the two of them were paying attention to.
They were dressed in black robes and masks, so their faces could not be seen.
“Jie Jie Jie……”
Weird laughter sounded.
Barren mountains and ridges, hiding their heads but showing their tails, and making weird smiles.
If you want to say that they are good people, then Zhou Qing is the tenth generation of great good people.
Make a "phone", quickly make a "phone"!
