Chapter 247 Puppetry
As the sun set, Li Xuan and the others finally returned to the city wall of Ladi Canyon.
Looking at the city wall in front of them, the three people finally let out a sigh of relief. After struggling for several days, they finally went home.
Li Xuan found the hidden mechanism outside the city wall. After pressing the mechanism, the tunnel was opened. Li Xuan and others returned to Ladi Canyon through the tunnel, and then got on the carriage and returned to the main city.
During this trip, Li Xuan got a soul beast inner elixir as he wished, and he had also exchanged the related "Puppet Technique" with the system. He only had to wait until midnight to take out the "Puppet Technique".
However, Li Xuan did not have high expectations for puppetry.
After all, the One-horned Silver Dragon is only a 50,000-year-old soul beast, and its bloodline power is relatively poor and not too strong, so Li Xuan does not expect that the inner elixir of the One-horned Silver Dragon can be exchanged for the fifth-grade "Puppet Technique" 》, as long as it can be exchanged for the third grade.
After the third-grade puppet is paired with Li Xuan's split soul, someone familiar with it should be able to master the use of the Sky-shattering Cannon.
After coming back to his senses, Li Xuan directly entered the space of Zhang Tian Bottle.
After going out for a meal and sleeping in the open, his body was already dirty and unsightly. Li Xuan took off his clothes in a few clicks, then jumped into the hot spring and started soaking in the hot spring.
While taking a bath, I thought about what Bangchui and Bai Chuan said during the day.
Zhu Zhuqing is indeed beautiful and considerate, a good match, and this girl also has a good personality.
"I don't know if Zhu Zhuqing went to Shrek Academy in the end, but catching Dai Mubai would make Zhu Zhuqing depressed for a while. Alas, even if he wants to find her now, he doesn't know where to find her." Li Xuan scratched helplessly. He scratched his head and soaked himself in the hot spring.
After losing contact with Zhu Zhuqing last time, Li Xuan did not leave any tracking methods on Zhu Zhuqing, and the current intelligence capabilities of Ladi Canyon were not enough.
The more Li Xuan thought about it, the more irritated he became, and finally he soaked himself in the hot spring and stopped thinking.
After running for half an hour, Li Xuan felt refreshed and jumped out of the hot spring. After changing his clothes, he came out of the space of Zhang Tian Bottle.
It was already midnight, and it would be early morning soon. Li Xuan did not go back to his bedroom, but sat in the yard, waiting for the system mall to refresh.
Waiting is boring, so Li Xuan brewed a pot of Enlightenment Tea and sipped the tea while admiring the moon. It was so comfortable.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally in the early morning, Li Xuan's eyes suddenly changed.
"Open the system mall." Li Xuan drank the enlightenment tea in the cup and said to the system in a calm voice.
As Li Xuan finished speaking, a blue light curtain appeared in front of Li Xuan.
Inside the light curtain is what was refreshed in the system mall today.
【System Mall】
[Qiuyue Hibiscus Cream (fourth product)*1...99999 points]
[Thunder Talisman (Second Grade)*1...500 Points]
[Second-grade elixir recipe (red blood elixir)*1...50,000 points]
["Puppetry" (Level 4)...88 points (original price 666666 points)]
"Hey? There's not only "Puppet Technique", but also second-grade elixirs, and fourth-grade elixirs! The system is stunned! How long has it been since I've refreshed something good for me! This time it's out I'm a little flattered by the four of them." Li Xuan stared at the light screen in front of him with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
The system mall couldn't refresh a few good things in a year. Unexpectedly, four usable things were refreshed at once this time, which was really beyond Li Xuan's expectation.
In the past few years, the number of useful things that have been refreshed in the system mall can be counted on two hands.
"System, exchange all these things for me!" Li Xuan said with some excitement.
As Li Xuan's words fell, the objects in the light curtain disappeared one by one.
Immediately afterwards, a small wooden box, a yellow talisman, an elixir recipe and a book appeared in front of Li Xuan out of thin air.
Li Xuan first picked up the small wooden box. As Li Xuan opened the wooden box, a strong and refreshing fragrance penetrated directly into Li Xuan's nasal cavity. Li Xuan couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy it.
Inside the wooden box is a small piece of pink balm, which is soft in texture and fragrant!
This is Qiuyue Hibiscus Cream!
Qiuyue Hibiscus Cream is a special fourth-grade elixir that is used by high-level female cultivators for skin care and beauty. It also has the effect of removing scars, wrinkles, etc. The effect is excellent, but of course, the price is also expensive.
Li Xuan didn't need it, so he closed the wooden box again and put it in his treasure box to avoid the evaporation of the medicine as much as possible.
Then, Li Xuan picked up a yellow talisman from the table. However, the content of this talisman was profound and Li Xuan had not studied it systematically. However, if it is produced by the system, it must be a high-quality product.
The power of the second-grade thunder talisman should be similar to that of the Ule walnut, which is better than nothing.
Li Xuan thought for a while and placed the thunder talisman in his little cave for easy access at any time.
As for the second-grade Red Blood Pill prescription, this is indeed a good thing for Li Xuan.
The Red Blood Pill is a pill that can burn blood and forcibly increase combat effectiveness. It is only effective for soul masters below level 40. It can double the combat effectiveness, lasts for fifteen minutes, and makes you weak for three days!
Although it has serious side effects on the body, it is really useful in times of crisis.
Li Xuan checked the medicinal materials recorded in the prescription, and he happened to have them all in his hand. After finishing the puppet technique, he must make two furnaces in case of emergency.
After putting the elixir recipe into his alchemy notebook, Li Xuan set his sights on the last thing.
A book with a gray cover has the words "Fourth Grade Puppetry" written on it.
"Fourth-grade Puppet Technique? I didn't expect that a 50,000-year-old inner elixir could give me a fourth-grade "Puppet Technique"!" Li Xuan's eyes lit up when he looked at the "Puppet Technique" in his hand, and he held his hands in excitement of books.
In fact, Li Xuan originally only wanted to create a third-level puppet technique. The third-level puppet combined with Li Xuan's split soul was enough to control the Sky Cannon to attack.
Then, Li Xuan took the book on himself without hesitation.
The system is produced and can be used directly.
"Puppetry" instantly fell apart, then turned into black points of light and entered Li Xuan's mind.
The next second, a majestic message entered Li Xuan's mind. Li Xuan quickly sat cross-legged and began to absorb the information that suddenly appeared in his mind.
Now that Li Xuan's soul power is strong, absorbing this information is much easier than before.
Half an hour later, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes. At this time, Li Xuan had absorbed all the information in the book.
"I didn't expect "Puppetry" to be so profound!" Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes, then frowned and muttered helplessly. Li Xuan's original idea of "Puppetry" was to make a puppet, divide some mental power, and inject it into it so that the puppet can carry out normal activities.
But the real "Puppetry" involves more than just carving and mental power division.
Starting from the puppet's material, shape, attack method, and equipped weapons, to the runes and seals on the puppet's body to the combination of materials.
This involves forging, rune patterns, seal carving, ergonomics, joint kinematics, mechanics...etc., many disciplines.
After getting this information, Li Xuan felt like he had a headache!
I originally thought that making puppets would save time in cultivating confidants, but now it seems that there is not much time difference between the two.
Li Xuan pondered for a while, and finally decided to make puppets. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and puppets are transformed from their own souls, so there is no problem with their loyalty.
At this moment, Li Xuan had a flash of inspiration. It was indeed not easy for him to learn "Puppetry", but if he only researched and made one kind of puppet, wouldn't the difficulty be greatly reduced?
But before that, Li Xuan still had to copy "Puppetry". After all, Li Xuan also wanted to pass on this knowledge in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan immediately took out his notebook and wrote down the "Puppetry Technique" in his mind one by one, keeping it as a file. Maybe in the future, people who encounter this aspect can teach it to others, so that "Puppetry Technique" can be taught to others. Carry forward.
Moreover, "The Art of Puppetry" is produced by the system and cannot be copied by Han Shucheng. Li Xuan can only copy it after learning it.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
There is a lot of information in "The Art of Puppetry", and Li Xuan spent a whole day and night transcribing all the information about the art of puppetry.
I copied out more than a dozen notes, including "Illustration of Puppet Rune Patterns", "Puppet Mechanism Technique", "Soul Dividing Technique", "Puppet Movement", "Puppet Basics (Part 1)"...etc., produced All kinds of knowledge needed for puppets can basically be found.
Looking at the dozen notebooks filled with content in front of him, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, Li Xuan also left a piece of paper full of drawings.
A kind of puppet is drawn on this paper.
"Five Thunder Puppet"!
It is a puppet that can release lightning attacks. It is a third-level puppet, equivalent to a level 50 human soul master. Because it is a puppet with thunder attributes, its combat power is at least similar to that of a level 60 soul master.
What's more important is that the Five Thunder Puppet can also form a Five Thunder Formation, which can fight against soul masters below level 80 and is extremely lethal.
More importantly, the Five Thunder Puppet needs thunder-attribute materials, and Li Xuan happens to have it in his hand. What Li Xuan has in his hand is the corpse of a hundred thousand-year-old purple thunder walnut tree. Although that thing has no soul bones, it is still The most top-notch refining materials!
And depending on the size of the puppets, Li Xuan's purple thunder walnut tree trunks can create two to three hundred level three puppets, which is enough for the defense of Ladi Canyon.
In addition to the purple thunder walnut tree, Li Xuan also has top-notch puppet-making materials such as soul-nourishing wood, the best material for making puppets, and Gengjin grass, which is needed for sword repair puppets.
"There should be no problems with a third-grade puppet after practicing for a while." Li Xuan looked at the puppet design in his hand, touched his chin, and muttered.
Then, Li Xuan went to the purple thunder walnut tree forest, took out the dead purple thunder walnut tree trunk from the purple thunder walnut tree, and put it into the small cave.
Today, the Purple Thunder Walnut Forest has grown from a dozen trees at the beginning to hundreds of trees now, and it has grown to quite a large scale.
There will be an endless supply of materials for making puppets in the future.
After taking away the trunk of the Purple Thunder Walnut Tree, Li Xuan went to take back the body of Gengjincao and put it into the small cave.
Li Xuan saw that he had almost got the materials, so he left directly from the space of Zhang Tian Bottle.
"I don't know how long it will take to make the puppet." Li Xuan glanced at the manufacturing diagram in his hand helplessly, then took out an ordinary piece of wood from the soul guide and prepared to try to make the puppet.
There are many kinds of materials for making the Five Thunder Puppet. Li Xuan chose wood. After all, the purple thunder walnut tree has a particularly obvious blessing effect on the Five Thunder Puppet.
So Li Xuan also took out an ordinary piece of wood for practice.
……
Half a month passed in a flash, and a five-thunder puppet made of ordinary wood appeared in front of Li Xuan.
The Five Thunder Puppet is a human-shaped puppet, divided into five types: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. This is the Golden Thunder Puppet, the simplest type of Five Thunder Puppet.
The puppet is about the same size as an adult, and its joints have been specially refined so that it can move normally. If it wears clothes, it is no different from a normal person.
Moreover, the puppet's body is covered with black grooves burned by flames. You can tell at a glance that this is the effect of flames.
"Move!" Li Xuan gave an order to the puppet.
"Click...click..."
As Li Xuan finished speaking, the puppet started to move slowly.
His movements became smoother and smoother, and he gradually became no different from a normal person.
"It's really done!" Li Xuan looked at the puppet in front of him in surprise and said excitedly.
If you study only one kind of puppet, the difficulty is indeed greatly reduced.
"Come on, let Lei Fa take a look." Li Xuan said to the puppet again.
After hearing Li Xuan's words, the puppet stopped. Silver-white energy slowly appeared in the black grooves on its body, and sparks could be faintly seen.
Li Xuan also opened his eyes in surprise
Thunder and lightning slowly gathered on the chest of Jin Lei's puppet.
"Boom!"
The originally majestic puppet exploded! A stream of black smoke sprayed directly into Li Xuan's face, and Li Xuan's face turned into a smoky color.
"Oh, I'll go!" Li Xuan wailed, then took out a wet towel and wiped the ashes off his face.
A few minutes later, Li Xuan returned to normal, came to the remains of the Jin Lei puppet, squatted on the ground, and examined the cause of the explosion of the Jin Lei puppet.
At this time, the wood on the Golden Thunder Puppet's chest had been blown away, and the grooves inside that circulated the soul power had been destroyed by the power of thunder and lightning.
"It seems that ordinary wood cannot withstand the power of thunder. It's not a mistake on my part." Li Xuan smiled and nodded.
This proves that Li Xuan has mastered the method of making puppets and can use some good materials to create special and durable puppets!
The defense of Ladi Canyon can be considered to be in place.
