Chapter 117 Buying a Puppet and Going into the Mountain (Please subscribe)
There are still three days left.
“I have seven thunder and fire balls in my hand, as well as the Fire Gang Sword, Zhenwu Seal, and the mysterious robe of the Tiangong Division.”
“I have both combat power and defense power. "
"In addition, in terms of elixirs, I also obtained two bottles of first-class high-grade Heqi elixirs from Xin'er."
"In addition, Tiangong Division's Xuyuan Seal and talent [Restore as before] have been achieved, and recovery will not be a big problem."
"The shortcoming that still exists now is speed!"
< br>After leaving Xuantingsi and walking on the stone streets, Zhou Ling thought to himself.
Although there is a Suifeng imprint on the Xuanpao, it consumes a lot of spiritual power every time it is used.
With his current cultivation level, it is not favorable.
As for the Haoyang Fire Wings, they can only be used as a means of escape.
"It's better to go to Fangshi to see if there are any flying magic weapons or runes."
Zhou Ling thought to himself, and then walked towards Fangshi.
It is almost noon, and there are not many people in the market.
After walking for a while, Zhou Ling was also quite puzzled. He did not find his favorite flying magic weapon along the way.
There are first-level high-grade runes, but the price-performance ratio is not as good as consuming one's own spiritual power to activate the Sui Feng imprint on the mysterious robe.
What made him even more depressed was that he spent a long time shopping.
[Searching for Treasures in the Mountains] The talent has no reaction at all.
It shouldn’t be!
There are many vendors in the market, and you can find some good stuff.
[You found a first-level high-grade flying puppet, search the mountain for treasure +1]
After some searching, Zhou Ling finally found a flying puppet in a shop selling second-hand magic weapons.
“Shopkeeper, what’s the price of this bird puppet?”
Pointing to the lifelike bird puppet on the shelf that looked a little old and looked like a black hawk, Zhou Ling asked road.
Through [Intermediate Analysis], he knew that this bird puppet seemed to be old and damaged, but its internal structure was stable, its body was made of fine black iron, and it could be used many times.
It's just that the control consumes a little consciousness.
"Little brother, this is a first-class high-grade puppet. Although it is a bit old, it still costs more than thirty spirit stones."
The shopkeeper saw that Zhou Ling was a young man, and then They were dressed as casual cultivators, and most of them just looked at them and dealt with them casually.
"Control, can it be cheaper, how about twenty spirit stones?"
Zhou Ling said with a smile on his face.
"Twenty is too little, at least thirty!"
Hearing that Zhou Ling seemed interested in buying, the shopkeeper's face suddenly became kind.
“Shopkeeper, this is a damaged puppet. It’s hard to say whether it can be used or not. I just want to buy it to learn. You see, the puppet is covered with smoke and dust. I still need thirty spirit stones. "
"Thirty spiritual stones are enough to buy a complete first-level middle-grade puppet."
Zhou Ling looked like an expert.
"Hey, you little guy, no matter what, this is a first-level high-grade puppet. It can barely be used, but it consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness."
"Thirty spiritual stones are not expensive anymore, you still How do you want it to be cheaper?" the shopkeeper said helplessly.
"It consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness, so it is impractical!" Zhou Ling shook his head.
Seeing that Zhou Ling spoke eloquently, the shopkeeper also fell silent.
To control a puppet, in addition to consuming spirit stones, you also need to consume souls.
As for Qi-training monks, generally if they have not practiced the Divine Soul Technique, their spiritual consciousness is not strong, and their ability to control puppets is limited.
"Forget it, I see you really want to buy it. One step back and twenty-eight lower-grade spiritual stones."
"Twenty-two yuan, I want it!"
"This!"
······.
After a while, Zhou Ling walked out of the magic weapon shop. There was a bird puppet in the storage bag, as well as a control jade slip.
“This puppet has many similarities with weapon training!”
“If I have a chance in the future, I can practice some!”
Zhou Ling murmured road.
The puppet process is similar to the magic weapon and is divided into refining the puppet body and the puppet seal.
The refining of the puppet seal is different from the imprint, and relies more on the power of divine consciousness.
From this point of view, it is more similar to the soul seal.
This is also a key factor why puppetry is an unpopular technique compared with other techniques, such as elixirs, weapon refining, and runes.
After all, there are very few techniques for cultivating and strengthening the soul.
Even ordinary foundation-building families rarely have soul-related techniques.
Needless to say, the disciples of casual cultivators.
Otherwise, if Zhou Ling could refine the soul seal, he would not be so valued and favored by Deacon Qin.
But the cultivation of spiritual consciousness is not enough, and the control of puppets cannot exert much combat power.
Like an ordinary monk in the late stage of Qi training, he may not be able to control a mid-stage first-order puppet.
So, puppets are an unpopular commodity on the market.
"My consciousness is now close to the first and eighth level, and I have the talent of [Soul as a Knife] to assist me."
"Whether it is controlling puppets or refining puppets, I have great advantages."
“It’s just that the puppetry technique seems to be hard to find!”
Zhou Ling continued to wander around the city while thinking.
·······.
After returning home, Zhou Ling simply finished his meal, then entered the room, took out the puppet, controlled the jade slip, and began to understand.
It is not difficult to control the jade slip. The key is to have sufficient spiritual consciousness.
In less than a stick of incense, Zhou Ling understood the method of puppet control.
Immediately, he took out the bird puppet from the storage bag.
Put the fire attribute spirit stone into the puppet core slot above his head.
Because this bird puppet is made of black iron and driven by gold and fire attribute spiritual stones, the effect will be better.
As the spiritual stones were placed properly, the puppet shone with light, and its body doubled in size, with its two black wings reaching almost half a foot.
Occupies most of the room.
With a thought, Zhou Ling gathered his consciousness according to the control method and controlled its wings to flap slightly.
[You are controlling a puppet, spiritual consciousness training +1, spiritual consciousness +2]
[You are controlling the puppet, your soul is like a knife +1, and your proficiency in controlling the puppet +1]
It seems that it is not difficult, and your spiritual consciousness is not consumed much. Zhou Lingxuan put the puppet back into the storage bag.
Then with a thought, he directly turned on [Illusion Simulation].
He wants to try the power of this puppet in [Illusion Simulation]?
He first controlled the puppet, sat on its back, and flew around the mountains outside Heixia Mountain, with the sound of wind in his ears.
At first, he was a little cautious and not very fast.
After becoming proficient, the puppet flaps its wings and soars into the sky like a light bird.
However, Zhou Ling quickly discovered a problem.
Due to the talent of [Soul as Sword], the consumption of soul is not as big as imagined.
On the contrary, a lot of spiritual stones were consumed.
After flying around in a circle, he put eight spiritual stones into the puppet's core slot, and only four were left.
Except for feeling that the consumption of spirit stones is slightly larger, Zhou Ling is quite satisfied with all other aspects.
Just at this flying speed, Zhou Ling felt that it was worth it.
Then exit [Illusion Simulation].
The next day, he entered the [Illusion Simulation] again. This time he challenged the Haoyang Bird with the help of a bird puppet.
With the puppet's speed, he escaped safely from the Haoyang Bird's claws.
This also made him very happy.
Able to escape from the Hao Yang bird's claws.
Then they won’t be caught up by the blood crows in Blood Crow Valley. ······．
The next day.
A small spiritual boat carrying three young men flew out from the west gate of Lingxia Fairy City and flew towards the Black Cloud Mountains.
Zhou Ling did not expect that brother and sister He Zijian would be able to control the spirit boat this time.
This spirit boat is a second-level low-grade spirit boat and is worth a lot of money. He Zijian can control it, which shows that he has a very high status in the family.
In front of the spirit boat, He Zijian was dressed in a mysterious robe, with a tall and straight figure, carrying a broad long sword on his back.
He controlled the spirit boat with a calm expression.
Next to him was He Lingyun, who was dressed in a goose-yellow dress. She had a spirit beast bracelet in her hand. Her eyes were bright and her hair was flying. She was tall and graceful. Although she was eleven or twelve years old, she seemed to be a beautiful woman.
Zhou Ling, on the other hand, was squatting behind the spirit boat with a medicine basket on his back, carefully checking the inscriptions on the spirit boat.
In the medicine basket lies a plump rock rat, lying lazily on its stomach.
[You are observing the second-level low-grade three spirit seals, intermediate observation +1, three spirit seal proficiency +1]
"A second-order low-grade inscription composed of three first-order high-grade inscriptions!"
Looking at the inscription, Zhou Ling murmured.
Second-level inscriptions generally contain more than thirty inscriptions.
Furthermore, each inscription is a composite inscription. Whether it is the structure or the connected nodes, it is far more difficult than the first-order low-grade inscription.
Like this second-order low-grade three-spirit seal, it is composed of three first-order high-grade inscriptions, Yufeng, Spirit Shield and Ruyi.
Controlling the wind and being able to control flight are also the main imprints of the spirit boat.
The spirit shield gives the spirit boat defensive capabilities.
If you wish, you can change the size of the spirit boat.
The three imprints are connected through second-order nodes, which are extremely strong.
I was thinking that when I have such a spiritual boat, it will be convenient to enter the mountain.
But just thinking about it, not to mention the inscriptions, the body of this spirit boat is made of second-grade paulownia wood.
The price is at least a thousand spirit stones.
“Brother Ling, there seem to be more monsters in the outer mountains of Heixia Mountain these days, and the mountain will be filled with mist from time to time.”
“Let’s go along the direction of the inner mountain for about a dozen The destination is Blood Crow Valley or Jade Spirit Valley."
"Which one of these two routes do you think is suitable?"
After the spirit boat entered Heixia Mountain, the speed of the spirit boat gradually slowed down. He Zijian spread out the animal skin map and followed Zhou Ling and asked.
“Since it’s a trial, we’d better go to Blood Crow Valley.”
Zhou Ling replied.
The Jade Essence Valley mainly grows Jade Essence Flowers. This Jade Essence Flower has confusing properties, so it is better not to provoke it.
And Blood Crow Valley is also the target valley he wants to go to.
He Zijian nodded.
Obviously, he still trusts Zhou Ling about the situation in the mountains.
The spirit boat continued to fly, and in about half an hour, it stopped roughly near the edge of the inner mountain.
Slowly landed on the grass.
After the three people jumped out of the spirit boat, He Zijian chanted a magic spell, and the spirit boat quickly shrank, and was finally put into the storage bag.
"The fog in the inner mountains is getting serious now, so we will patrol from here towards the Blood Crow Valley."
"It's about fifty miles away. Let's see what happens?"
After collecting the spirit boat , He Zijian and Zhou Ling said.
Zhou Ling then explored the way in front, and the He family brothers and sisters followed behind him.
Due to the purpose of this time, in addition to inspecting the situation in Heixia Mountain, we also wanted to find an opportunity for He Lingyun to control the Haoyang Bird for actual combat.
Therefore, after marching, He Lingyun summoned the Haoyang Bird from the spirit beast bracelet.
The Haoyang Bird flaps its wings, and its whole body glows with flame-like light, making it appear extremely mysterious.
The body fell next to He Lingyun, lowered his head, and gently rubbed He Lingyun's arm with his right hand to express his kindness.
He Lingyun also smiled kindly, not knowing what he said to Haoyangniao.
Then the Haoyang Bird flapped its wings and flew in low altitude circles with them.
[Discover Huoxia grass, search the mountain for treasure +1]
[Discover Muyuan grass, search the mountain for treasure +1]
······.
Along the way, Zhou Ling relied on his talents of [Crisis Response] and [Searching for Treasures].
No monsters have been encountered yet, but a lot of elixirs have been found.
Most of them are still first-order mid-grade and high-grade.
Although he was looking for an opportunity to give He Lingyun a trial, the inner mountain was filled with light mist. Once the spiritual power in the body was consumed, even if he had the Heqi Pill in his hand, he would not recover so quickly.
So, he planned to find the blood lotus first, and then find a late first-order monster beast for He Lingyun to practice.
Since he has fought against the Haoyang Bird many times in [Illusion Simulation], he also knows the strength of the Haoyang Bird very well.
This ordinary late-stage first-order monster is definitely no match for it.
More than half an hour later.
Poof!
Zhou Ling held the Fire Gang Sword and dug out a blood-ink elixir from the grass.
With a look of joy, he said, "Second-order blood-inking grass!"
This second-order blood-inking grass has many functions, it can be used as a spiritual ink material, or as a body-repairing blood-qi tonic.
Of course, this is not the only thing that makes Zhou Ling happy. As the distance to Blood Crow Valley continues to get closer, the number of blood-attribute elixirs along the way has gradually increased.
It also greatly increased his confidence in finding the blood lotus.
"Brother Ling, you really deserve to have grown up in the mountains. You can even find the second-level elixir hidden in the soil!"
Looking at Zhou Ling carefully wiping off the blood-ink grass He Zijian looked amazed at the dirt on his face.
Originally, he had been cautious and did not relax at all along the way.
But after walking for a long time, I heard a lot of roars of monsters.
But I didn’t even see a soul shadow. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be!
But Zhou Ling, on the other hand, had already found twenty or thirty elixirs along the way.
Looking at this luck, even he couldn't help but feel envious.
I feel that Zhou Ling's luck is not generally good.
"The main reason is that I feel extra sensitive to elixirs, and the inner mountains are rich in resources!"
Zhou Ling said with a smile.
Although the mist in the inner mountain was thick, with the help of two talents, and the bodyguards of the He family brother and sister, his speed gradually increased.
Now that the spirit flame has been transformed into the Five Elements Spirit Flame, through the [Five Elements Qi-Eating Spirit Flame] talent, one can absorb the energy of vegetation contained in the elixir and increase the level of the spirit flame.
So the more elixirs the better, of course the quality cannot be too low.
······．
An hour later.
A deafening beast roar resounded through the wilderness.
A late-stage first-order silver-clawed ape more than two feet tall, with numerous scars on its body, was being jointly attacked by Haoyang Bird and He Lingyun.
The main combatant is the Haoyang Bird, which shoots out fireballs from its mouth from time to time, and swoops down from time to time. Its sharp claws violently attack the Silver-clawed Ape.
Eight feet away, He Lingyun was controlling the magic sword.
Like a stream of cyan light, it streaks across the body of the silver-clawed ape from time to time.
The silver-clawed ape roared, waved its claws, and flew towards He Lingyun.
But He Lingyun's body was elegant and flying in the air, always keeping a distance of seven or eight feet from the silver-clawed ape.
In addition, the Haoyang Bird swooped down from time to time in the air, and its sharp claws scratched across the back of the Silver-clawed Ape.
Under such long-distance coordinated attacks from both sides, the silver-clawed ape had no power to fight back.
Even if you want to escape, your body is too bulky and your speed is too slow, so you have no chance at all.
What's more, not far away, He Zijian was holding an epee and staring closely at the battle situation.
Zhou Ling on the side was paying attention to the battle situation while communicating with Shi Yanshu.
There are still a few miles ahead, which is Blood Crow Valley.
