Chapter 845 Ancient Puppet Refining

As soon as the battle started, Chen Qingyun completed the first kill.

Bahuang followed closely, using the Green Mirror, and shot out three rays of light in turn, hitting the three magic weapons, the flying needle, the blade, and the spear.

These three attacks directly defeated the power of the three magic weapons, making them temporarily ineffective, and they were about to fall to the ground.

The Cauldron of All Things appeared immediately, releasing three rays of precious light, and before the three magic weapons fell to the ground, they were all collected in the cauldron.

After the magic weapons were collected, the combat effectiveness of these human-shaped puppets was greatly reduced, and they actually ran away to one side.

Unfortunately, in front of Chen Qingyun and others, these puppets not only did not pose any threat, but also made themselves boring.

Bahuang shot out three streams of light, accurately piercing the five elements of the three human-shaped puppets, and ended the battle in one fell swoop.

After the human-shaped puppet fell to the ground, a burst of black smoke rose from his body, and after a few sad and shrill roars, it quickly stopped, which made several people's scalps numb.

Three black stones rolled out of the puppet, and one of them rolled to Luo Huzi's feet.

It was dark and round, like a dried black fruit core, only the size of two fingers.

Luo Huzi felt strange and wanted to collect it, but he did not touch it carelessly. Instead, he first set his eyes on the remains of the puppets.

In order to ensure safety, several people came forward to check and found that the puppet contained the breath of ghost cultivators, as if the body was occupied by ghost cultivators.

"Puppets and ghost cultivators can merge into one, what is the situation?"

Luo Huzi looked puzzled, and then looked at the other puppets around him. He only felt that there were ghost cultivators hiding here, and he felt like a sheep in a tiger's den.

"It is not easy to determine whether the ghost cultivators can control the puppets or have already lived in these puppets."

Li Mubing said, paying close attention to the other puppets around him, and did not detect the aura of the netherworld in them, and behaved very normally.

Granny Xiyu, who rarely spoke, took a step forward, picked up a piece of puppet debris and looked at it for a few times, and immediately had the answer in her mind.

"It's a puppet refining."

Hearing Granny Xiyu speak, Chen Qingyun and others all looked at Granny Xiyu.

Luo Huzi heard about puppet refining for the first time and didn't know the origin of this thing. He asked: "What exactly is this puppet refining? They are so flexible in controlling magic tools."

Ghost cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage naturally cannot carry storage bags or control ordinary magic tools because they don't have a Taoist body.

But the situation in front of them is very strange. These puppets are controlled by ordinary magic tools, not special for ghost cultivators.

What's more, if these puppets are not controlled by anyone, it is impossible for them to move on their own.

There is also a ghost aura in the body, which is more like being occupied by ghost cultivators.

This is a bit like taking over the body, but the object of the possession is these puppets.

"It is indeed a puppet refining."

Wen Xiumin also spoke, verifying Granny Xiyu's guess.

She didn't keep the secret and started to tell the story right away.

The so-called puppet refining is also called the puppet of cultivation.

It is a puppet created by cultivators to prevent accidents in advance when their Taoist body is damaged and there is no body nearby to live in.

This kind of puppet is made of special materials, such as branches of the spiritual wood, soul stones and other materials, which can preserve the soul of the cultivator.

Even for a long time in the future, as long as the puppet itself is not damaged in theory, this state of living can continue.

Compared with the physical body, it will not feel pain, and it can continue to cultivate the soul and control the magic weapon.

However, the only pity is that practicing in this way can only improve the soul, but cannot enhance the realm strength.

If you live in the early stage of the Purple Mansion, there is no great opportunity to be born, even if you practice for three to five hundred years, you will still be in the early stage of the Purple Mansion.

This is the puppet refining, a very niche and rare puppet, which is a transition before taking over the body.

"Puppet refining only existed in ancient times. After the great destruction of ancient times, this refining method has been extinct and has not been passed down."

"These puppet refining in front of us are probably the last ones."

Wen Xiumin said, very interested in this kind of puppet, which can actually allow ghost cultivators to live in it and survive until now.

If we had not been vigilant before and thought that these puppets were dead, we would have been really fooled.

Knowing that puppet refining originated from ancient times and had such ability, Chen Qingyun and others did not dare to be careless and carefully searched the puppets piled up and placed on the ground.

According to Wen Xiumin's description, puppet refining is easy to distinguish. The most important feature is that it is human-shaped.

The other is that the material is easy to distinguish. Most of them are wood, and there will be a clear touch when the spirit sense touches it.

After a check, there are a total of twelve puppet refining on the first floor, eight of which have been destroyed by Jindan ghost cultivators fighting for them.

The other four were destroyed in the previous battle.

As for the other puppets, they were also maliciously destroyed and eaten by the ghost cultivators. Most of them have become ineffective and are no different from scrap metal.

Old Monster Yan looked at the four soul stones scattered on the ground from time to time, and his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Wen Xiumin and Granny Xiyu.

Seeing Old Monster Yan's behavior, Granny Xiyu kindly reminded him out of kindness: "This is the core of puppet refining, the soul stone. Fellow Daoist Yan, be careful of the remaining netherworld energy in it."

Hearing that it was related to the core of the puppet and seemed to be of some value, Old Monster Yan immediately used his magic power to pick it up.

"Ah."

Seeing that his friend wanted to take advantage again, Luo Huzi sighed in a low voice, but did not say anything.

The soul stone is as heavy as a stone, so it can still be used?

Old Monster Yan thought to himself and looked at it carefully.

"You don't have to look at it. After the soul residing in it is destroyed, the soul stone will become invalid. This thing has no use value."

Immediately afterwards, Wen Xiumin's words came over.

Boom.

"Then it's better not to do it."

Old Monster Yan shook his head and threw away the soul stone.

The other puppets on the ground, which are still valuable, can only be used as materials for refining weapons.

Several people took what they needed, collected some, and started exploring the second and third floors.

There are more than a hundred puppets stored on the second floor, including gold puppets, wood puppets, water puppets, fire puppets and earth puppets.

These five types are all single-type puppets. They do not have the origin of the Five Elements in their bodies and need to be driven by spiritual stones.

This kind of puppet can be driven by a single or multiple monks. It is a product made by a puppet master. Its effect is close to that of a five-element puppet and it can cast five-element spells.

These puppets have reached the fourth level, with a total of one hundred and fifty, and only twenty-one are usable.

The number of puppets on the third level is very small, thirty-three in total, and only three are available.

Seeing that a large number of puppets had been damaged, Luo Huzi shook his head, feeling very regretful.

Fortunately, the third-level puppets are of very good quality. They are fifth-level puppets, which are equivalent to the initial strength of Nascent Soul.

A puppet of this level needs to be activated with the best spiritual stones, and at the same time, it needs to master a corresponding technique to control it.
