Chapter 20 Carving Puppet
The warehouse door is opened, and various types of wood are stacked, more or less, exuding various wood aromas.
"Ling teak: 20 lings per side, black iron wood: 25 lings per side, spiritual banana wood: 30 lings per side, agarwood: 40 lings per side, and this second-level spiritual peach wood, One side has 120 spirits, and the spirit peach wood is mainly the cut branches of the century-old Shuiyue peach, which is most suitable for refining wooden puppets." Lin Huirong smiled and introduced the various spirit trees in the warehouse.
Seeing the thick and red peach wood, Li Mu's heart moved.
"Thousand Machine Puppet Technique" not only records seventy-two puppet refining methods, but also records the characteristics of various puppet refining materials. Low-level wooden puppets are the best refining materials. Too peach wood.
The properties of the spiritual peach wood are yin, which is suitable for the spiritual consciousness. After being refined into a puppet, it is more suitable for the control of the soul. The spiritual peach wood is also the main material for refining the psychic sword, and the price is relatively expensive.
"Is there any price left? I want peach wood." Li Mu looked at Lin Huirong and asked tentatively.
"I'm sorry, sir, our Wanbao Pavilion only has discounts for customers who have spent a certain amount of money." Lin Huirong smiled apologetically,
"Take two squares of spiritual peach wood first, and the rest can be Can you keep it for me? Come back in a few days when you have more money." Li Mu nodded and said sheepishly that he also wanted to buy more, but the spirit stone bag was already empty.
“The sales of Lingmao wood are slow. I’ll definitely have some more when I come back in a few days.” Lin Huirong smiled slightly and did not respond formally.
Li Mu nodded, paid the spirit stones, left Wanbao Pavilion with two parties of spirit peach trees, rented a carriage on the street and returned to Xiaoliangshan.
Moving the two peach trees into the yard, Li Mu used the carving knife prepared in advance and began to carve wooden puppets.
Paper puppets can be controlled by drawing puppet patterns and using the secret method of monster spirits to gain control of the puppets. This is not the case with wooden puppets. By carving puppet formation patterns on the wooden puppets and inlaying spiritual stones, the puppets can gain control. The driving force is to set up the divine consciousness control array in the built-in puppet core, and then use the divine consciousness to control the puppet core, thereby gaining control of the puppet.
Originally, Li Mu just wanted to refine some surveillance puppets to prevent unknown risks.
Now that he has bought two squares of peach wood, in order not to waste the performance of the peach wood, Li Mu plans to refine another labor puppet that can help him with some daily farm work.
Although the puppet refining technique has reached level four, Li Mukong has a lot of 'experience' and has never been exposed to carving before. In order to increase the success rate of carving puppet patterns, Li Mukong first found a bunch of ordinary branches and practiced carving skills. .
The carving knife wandered over the wooden branches, and wood chips flew down like rain.
Half an hour later, a wooden sculpture that was somewhat similar to the red wolf took shape in Li Mu's hands.
"It's too rough. I need more practice before I can carve a real puppet!" Li Mu looked at the shape of the wood carving and sighed dissatisfied.
Soon, Li Mu devoted himself to practicing wood carving crafts. During the day, he did farm work and carved wood carvings. At night, he drew spiritual talismans. In his spare time, he fed colorful chickens and teased red wolves. He lived a simple and fulfilling life. pastoral life.
Time flies and seven days pass.
As usual, Li Mu used the wind and rain technique on the Lingtian, and after helping the Cuiling Fruits to fatten and weed, he was about to return to the yard to try to carve the first puppet. At this moment, a figure wielding a sword appeared. , slowly flying down from the sky.
Li Mu noticed the visitor and immediately stopped and greeted the visitor with a smile.
"Senior Brother Xu, what a rare day today! Why do you have time to come to Xiaoliangshan!" Li Mu looked at the visitor and asked with a surprised look on his face.
Xu Lijin put away his flying sword and landed in front of Li Mu. He looked at him with shock in his eyes. He had helped him set up the spirit-guiding array before and had clearly tested his cultivation. His qualifications were extremely low and his cultivation was not good enough. The fifth level of Qi refining.
In about ten days, Li Mu not only improved his cultivation level by two levels, but his consciousness also seemed to be much stronger. Otherwise, he would not have discovered his arrival so quickly. Xu Lijin was puzzled.
Xu Lijin looked at Li Mu and asked bluntly: "Junior brother Zhao, you really can't tell a person's face! We haven't seen each other for a few days, how come your cultivation level has broken through the seventh level of Qi refining?"
Li Mu's expression remained unchanged, and he reused the excuse he used to prevaricate Old Man Zhang about eating a mysterious spiritual fruit.
It’s just that before, the second level of Qi Refining was covered up and turned into the fifth level. This time, the fifth level of Qi Refining was covered up and turned into the seventh level. Anyway, Old Man Zhang has returned to the mortal world. There is a chance that the two of them will meet. Extremely low. If you continue to use this excuse, Li Mu is not afraid of cheating.
"So that's it, junior brother is really blessed! You can still encounter such a good thing." Xu Lijin suddenly realized it and sighed with envy.
What kind of bad luck did this guy have? He had a middle-grade spiritual field and a spiritual fruit that improved his cultivation. Xu Lijin was jealous to death. However, in order to get a few pieces of middle-grade spiritual fields, his face remained kind. After confirming that Li Mu's cultivation had indeed reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, the previously prepared strategy could no longer be implemented. If trouble broke out and it became difficult to deal with, Xu Lijin frowned and thought about other strategies.
"Senior Brother Xu, you came here specifically to see me?" Li Mu frowned and looked at Xu Lijin, unable to guess his purpose for the moment.
Xu Lijin explained with a smile: "I just went to inspect other spiritual fields. Didn't you set up a spirit attracting array here! Stop by and take a look."
"That's it, Xu Senior brother, the spirit induction array you set up is working well, and the spiritual grass planted in the five acres of new fields is growing well. I will take you over to take a look." Li Mu walked to the front and led the way, taking Xu Lijin to see the spiritual fields.
Seeing that the five acres of new fields have been planted with wind spirit grass, the grass seedlings are tender and green, Xu Lijin twitched the corner of his mouth, couldn't help but feel heartache, and secretly cursed in his heart: "Damn, this idiot, the middle grade spiritual field has not yet been After the transformation is complete, plant the wind spirit grass that consumes the most spiritual power!"
"Senior Brother Xu, the transformation effect of this spiritual field is good, it is almost close to the low-grade spiritual field, so the spirit-guiding array still needs to be continued. Is it open?" Li Mu asked with concern.
“It’s wrong for you to manage the spiritual land like this. How about you transfer these seven acres of spiritual land to me and I can find a larger spiritual land for you?” Xu Lijin lowered his attitude and asked in a consultative manner. Li Mu.
Hearing this, Li Mu frowned and looked at Xu Lijin strangely, guessing his intention of wanting these seven acres of spiritual land. Looking at his anxious look, he gradually had an idea in his mind.
"Senior Brother Xu, what's wrong with me managing the spiritual fields like this? Could there be any changes in them?" Li Mu asked curiously. Suddenly, he thought of something and said in surprise: "Senior Brother Xu, you Let me continue to operate the spirit-guiding array for three months. Could it be that these spiritual fields can be promoted to middle-grade spiritual fields?”
Damn it!
How about being so smart!
Xu Lijin was shocked when he heard what Li Mu said.
"Junior brother, you are joking! The spiritual energy around Qing'an Town is so poor, there is no chance of breeding a medium-grade spiritual field. However, the geographical environment of Xiaoliang Mountain is good, and a distant relative of mine happened to take a fancy to this spiritual field. ." Xu Lijin explained with a reluctant smile.
Haha!
If not, Li Mu might have believed what he said if he found out who was spying.
Now, Xu Lijin has come in person and persuaded him to give up the spiritual field. Li Mu is now more and more sure of his judgment, otherwise, he would not be able to think of the other party's motive for doing so.
"Senior Brother Xu, I have just planted Cuiling Fruit, Spiritual Rice, and Wind Spirit Grass in these spiritual fields. I have put a lot of effort into them. It is really inconvenient to part with them." Li Mu declined with a smile.
Are you kidding? Even if Xu Lijin gave him the best terms, Li Mu would not agree.
These spiritual plants are related to his cultivation, and he needs to be free and proficient. Li Mu hopes that they can harvest quickly, so how can he be willing to transfer seven acres of spiritual land.
Hearing this, Xu Lijin's face darkened: "Is it true that there is no room for negotiation at all?"
Li Mu thought for a while, but did not want to offend Xu Lijin to death, and quickly said: "The transaction will have to wait for half a year, wait for me In order to harvest these spiritual plants, I need to receive appropriate compensation, and I need Brother Xu to agree to two conditions."
Xu Lijin laughed angrily: "Oh! Tell me your conditions. "
"First, if I want to change the field, I would like a larger spiritual field, preferably thirty to forty acres," Li Mu said with a slight smile.
"This is no problem. There are many spiritual mountains near Qing'an Town. However, let's talk about it first. The spiritual power of such a large spiritual field will not be so rich." Xu Lijin nodded and then asked: "Where's your second condition!"
"Senior Brother Xu is a formation cultivator! I also want to learn skills in this area." Li Mu smiled slightly and said sheepishly.
Hearing this, Xu Lijin’s face immediately darkened.
"Okay! I'll think about this again and say goodbye!" Xu Lijin said the next sentence, released the flying sword, and walked away in the air. If he didn't leave, he was afraid that he couldn't help but take action.
Watching Xu Lijin leave with his sword, Li Mu blinked his eyes and wondered why he left just now if they had not discussed it well just now.
