Looking at the growth state of the Time and Space Spirit Lotus, Li Mu had some calculations in his heart. His consciousness sank into the Tianxuan Ring again. After some searching, he took out dozens of Time World Spirit Crystals that emitted a faint blue light and contained endless secrets of time and space.
The surface of the spiritual crystal has complex time and space patterns flowing on it, as if it contains a microcosm of the entire universe. The light flashes are accompanied by slight distortions of time and space.
Li Mu’s spiritual consciousness held up the time spirit crystal and slowly walked towards the boundary wall where the time and space spirit lotus was located; as he approached, the time and space spirit lotus that originally trembled slightly due to sensing the strange aura seemed to Feeling the power of the same origin contained in the spiritual crystal, the light gradually softened and the magic shield quietly dissipated.
With a gentle wave of both hands, dozens of time and space spirit crystals seemed to be pulled by invisible forces, suspended in the air one by one, arranged into a complex pattern. The next moment, the magic of time and space hidden in the boundary wall The formation then emerged and swallowed up dozens of time and space spiritual crystals. The time and space array released powerful power of time and space, corresponding to the location of the time and space spiritual lotus, forming a bridge connecting heaven and earth and communicating time and space.
As Li Mu whispered the incantation, streams of pure and powerful space-time power surged out from the space-time array, like trickles that merged into a river and sea, and finally gathered at the core of the space-time array, where , a tiny vortex of time and space is slowly forming. It is not only a portal of connection, but also the source of the power of time and space.
The time and space spirit lotuses felt the nourishment of this powerful power of time and space. The time and space patterns on the leaves began to flow faster, and the light became brighter and brighter. They greedily absorbed the power of time and space. Their growth rate increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their size gradually expanded. The branches and leaves are full and the color gradually becomes deeper.
Li Mu did not stop, and continued to activate his spiritual consciousness, guiding the power of time and space to penetrate deep into the roots of each spiritual lotus, nourishing their veins and branches.
As time goes by, the laws of time and space within the entire boundary wall seem to become active due to the injection of this force. Time and space fluctuations occur one after another, forming magnificent time and space paintings. Li Mu is in the In this painting, his eyes swept over and saw that the time and space spirit lotus plants had returned to their growth state, and he couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his face.
At this moment, Li Mu felt a strange spiritual power fluctuation, and his expression was slightly startled. Then, he sensed that this spiritual power fluctuation was caused by Mingyue refining the puppet, which not only contained Mingyue's special The puppet refining skills also vaguely reveal an unprecedented innovation and breakthrough.
Li Mu's heart moved, and he realized that Mingyue might be trying a new puppet refining method, which is very likely to break the existing bottleneck of puppet skills,
Li Mu's figure flashed, disappeared from the spot, and appeared next to Mingyue.
I saw that Mingyue was concentrating on the finished refining of a humanoid puppet, with unconcealable excitement on her face. The eyes of this sixth-level puppet were bright, full of agility, and exuding power. breath.
"Master, you are here!" Mingyue sensed Li Mu's arrival and immediately introduced excitedly: "Master, look, this is my newly refined battle puppet - Ivy Battle Puppet, look How about it! Imitated the master's previous method of refining the Dragon Guard."
Li Mu carefully examined the "Ivy War Puppet" in front of him, with a flash of approval in his eyes.
Innate magical power - identifying all spirits, the attributes of the Ivy Fighting Puppet are all presented in Li Mu's eyes.
[Ivy War Puppet]
[Level: Sixth Level Spirit Puppet]
[Characteristics: entanglement and restraint, wood element absorption, perception increase, vine weaving domain, vine domain illusion, summoning Vine demon. 】
[Status: The war puppet is reborn and the puppet spirit is full. 】
[The Ivy War Illustration is carefully carved with the main body of the eternal Ivy Lord as the trunk, the essence of the thousand-year-old tree as the limbs, and the fusion of the sixth-order netherworld spiritual soil and the sixth-order Dawn Polygonatum.

It can restrain the opponent, absorb vitality, increase one's own perception, create a spiritual realm of thousands of vines woven by vines, and spawn spiritual vines to restrain the opponent. The vine technique Summon the Thousands of Demonic Vine. 】
Li Mu nodded repeatedly, smiled and praised Mingyue and said: "Well done, this puppet battle puppet not only perfectly combines the agility and tenacity of the wood attribute, but also shows the vitality and combat potential that surpass previous puppets due to your unique innovation. Especially the spirit realm of the war partner, it is so ingenious that it makes my eyes shine."
"Thank you for the compliment, master. I was actually inspired by the master's refining of the dragon guard, so I came up with such a refinement. The production method. Moreover, I also tried to add a bit of my own spiritual power into the puppet core, hoping to make it more connected with my mind and more flexible in battle." Mingyue said, with a flash of agility in his eyes. Light, obviously full of confidence in this work.
"Well, this puppet's combat power is indeed good!" Li Mu nodded, agreeing with Mingyue's words.
"Master, next, I can refine more Ivy war puppets and form an army of puppets to solve problems for the master." Mingyue raised her little face and looked at Li Mu and said with a bright smile.
Ming Yue has always been eager to be recognized by Li Mu. This recognition is like the sweetest fruit, making her satisfied.
However, Li Mu shook his head gently and declined, "Mingyue, I understand your intention, but I don't want you to over-expend your puppet spirit power in order to refine the puppet. The puppet spirit power is your foundation, Once you consume it too much, it will not only affect your cultivation progress, but also cause irreversible damage to you."
Hearing this, the smile on Mingyue's face froze slightly, and then she showed an understanding smile: " Master, I am too impatient. I will pay attention and not let myself consume too much."
"Well, refining this kind of puppet is very expensive for you, so stop it!" Li Mu smiled! He smiled, and then he thought about it and signaled: "No, you can help refine a batch of fifth-level ordinary puppets!"
"Uh! Master, the fifth-level puppets are too weak in combat. They can On your own?" Mingyue was slightly stunned, obviously a little surprised by Li Mu's proposal.
In Mingyue's view, there is a big gap in the combat power of the fifth-level puppets compared to the Ivy war puppets. Although it is one level lower, there is a huge difference in combat power. She can't help but There is some confusion. Does the master really think that the fifth-level puppet is enough to cope with future challenges?
"Don't underestimate the combat power of the fifth-level puppet. If used properly, a fifth-level puppet can also create the ability to kill the Void Refining cultivator." Li Mu smiled slightly and said mysteriously.
“This is impossible!” Mingyue exclaimed, her face full of disbelief.
In her opinion, there is an insurmountable gap between the fifth-level puppet and the Void Refining monk. The Void Refining Monk, a being who can control the legal domain and can perform all kinds of magical powers and secrets, can't be matched by a mere fifth-level puppet?
Li Mu seemed to see through her thoughts, and explained with a smile: "Mingyue, you don't know something. The combat power of a puppet does not entirely depend on its grade. A carefully refined fifth-level puppet , if combined with the appropriate formations, talismans and combat strategies, it is entirely possible to create a miracle of killing the Xu Lian cultivator."
"Arrayments, talismans and combat strategies?" Hearing this, a flash of light flashed in Mingyue's eyes. With a hint of surprise, he understood that what Li Mu said was something he was extremely good at, and it was an important means to improve the puppet's combat power.
Mingyue couldn't help but be a little confused. After all, the gap between the fifth-level puppet and the monks of the realm was too big. It was difficult to get close, so how could it cause fatal damage to the monks?
Seeing this, Li Mu said no more, but with a thought, he took out a blank jade slip from the Tianxuan ring. Li Mu's spiritual thoughts moved slightly, and the true energy in his hand condensed into a blank jade slip, and he carved on it the detailed diagram of refining the fifth-level puppet, as well as the key points of the inner formation.
Immediately, Li Mu handed the jade slip to Mingyue and signaled: "This is a battle plan for a fifth-level puppet that I have recently developed. Take it and take a look. Maybe, You will have a new understanding of the combat power of the fifth-level puppet."
Ming Yue couldn't wait to take the jade slip, and her consciousness sank into it.
A moment later, Mingyue's face showed a look of shock. What was recorded in the jade slip was a plan to use fifth-level puppets in conjunction with formations, talismans and combat strategies to create the possibility of killing the Void Refining cultivator.
The sophistication of this plan made even Mingyue admire it.
"Master, this...this plan is really terrible!" Mingyue was amazed, and finally understood why Li Mu asked her to refine the fifth-level puppet.
It turns out that this kind of fifth-level puppet can really display such amazing combat power in Li Mu's hands.
In the jade slips, there is a record of a special fifth-level puppet called the 'Puppet Spider'. This kind of puppet is made of fifth-level star wood. Star wood is extremely hard and contains the power of stars. Strength is an excellent material for refining high-level puppets.
The most important thing is that Li Mu embedded a time and space array inside this kind of puppet. This array can drive the fifth-level puppet spider to travel through time and space for a short period of time, and to move across distances instantly. Its eight legs depict strong winds, swift shadows, and phantom bodies. Waiting for the puppet formation, this fifth-level puppet can quickly approach all targets at an extremely terrifying speed.
More importantly, this space-time array instantly compresses the energy inside the puppet to the limit. Once it gets close to the enemy, hug the target and then detonate it, releasing a powerful blow equivalent to that of a monk in the Void Refining Stage. energy fluctuations.
What’s even more frightening is that the talisman positions are also marked in the puppet drawings. Instantly activated talismans can be added to this puppet, such as explosion talisman, binding talisman, etc. These talismans can explode before or after the puppet self-destructs. Released at any time, further increasing the diversity and suddenness of attacks.
For example, the explosion talisman can detonate after the puppet approaches the target, increasing the killing power..., and the binding talisman can tightly bind the enemy before the puppet self-destructs, ensuring that the power of the self-destruction can fully affect the target. superior.
"Master, the design of this puppet spider is really ingenious. It perfectly integrates puppetry, formations, and talismans. It is simply a killing machine on the battlefield!" Mingyue admired, with excitement shining in her eyes. The eyes looking at Li Mu were filled with admiration.
Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "Although the puppet spider is powerful, it is also extremely complicated to refine, requiring extremely high skills and patience. Moreover, due to its self-destruction characteristics, it cannot be recycled once used. You must be careful when using it to ensure Every puppet spider can exert its greatest value."
"I understand, Master." Mingyue nodded solemnly, "I will do my best to refine each puppet spider carefully. Let them become our strongest trump card."
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, took out the fifth-level star wood, space-time array plate and various rare materials that had been prepared from the storage ring, and placed them one by one. on the table.
"Okay, let's get started. Remember, you must be extra careful during the refining process. The embedding of the space-time array is particularly critical. If there is a slight mistake, the entire puppet may be scrapped." Li Mu smiled and looked at Mingyue. , gestured: "I will leave the body of the puppet to you for refining, and I will carve the source core of the puppet and the miniature space-time array inside."
Hearing this, Mingyue immediately gathered her mind and devoted herself to refining. During the crafting work, she stretched out her slender hand and placed it on the star wood on the table, feeling the power of the stars contained in it and anticipating the texture of the star wood.
The next moment, a powerful puppet power was released from Ming Yue's hands, and wherever it passed, pieces of stars and sawdust flew down one after another.
After a while, a large piece of star wood gradually turned into the body of a puppet spider, with eight legs and puppet spirit patterns on it, as if they were born from heaven.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu's eyes flashed with surprise and envy.
This is Ming Yue’s innate magical power as a seventh-level puppet spirit. It can refine the puppet body with amazing accuracy and efficiency in a short period of time. It uses materials suitable for refining the puppet to give the puppet spirit. Wen, this kind of ability is beyond reach even for him.
At this time, Li Mu also started working, concentrating on several tasks, paying attention to the bright moon. At the same time, he held a small piece of exquisite space-time crystal and a small golden carving knife, and began to carve a miniature space-time array. This The magic circle is the core of the Puppet Spider and the key to its ability to travel through time and space and self-destruct.
Li Mu's technique was skillful and precise, and his hands seemed to contain endless power. While carving, he was exchanging refining experience with Mingyue. The two of them cooperated tacitly, as if they were engaged in a silent competition.
As time goes by, the refining of the puppet spider is gradually coming to an end.
Ming Yue completed all the carving work of the puppet body first, and Li Mu also carved a source core and successfully embedded the miniature space-time array into the source core.
"Okay, the next step is to assemble all the parts." Li Mu looked at Mingyue with a smile, signaling her to prepare for the final step.
Ming Yue nodded, picked up the puppet source core and the various parts, and began to assemble them one by one. Her hands seemed to have magic power. The various parts of the puppet spider seemed to be given life in her hands, and they were gradually assembled into A complete individual, as the last part was embedded, the puppet spider's body trembled slightly, and a strong puppet power circulated on its surface.
The next moment, Mingyue injected a puppet power and successfully activated the puppet core. The puppet spider stood up completely, and a pair of spider eyes released a beam of light.
Finally, after all the parts were perfectly assembled, a lifelike puppet spider appeared in front of the two people. It had eight strong legs and an agile body, as if it would jump up and attack the enemy at any time.
"Successful!" Mingyue cheered excitedly, her face filled with a smile of satisfaction and pride. (End of this chapter)
