Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 42 The true solution to puppets

Ronan spent several days in the Wizarding World before returning to the True Immortal Realm of the Realm of True Immortals.

I want to see what new things are available to buy in the market.

But as soon as he reached the shantytown, he saw some houses with white banners hanging in front of them.

The white banners fluttered in the wind, appearing eerie and desolate.

'What happened? '

Ronan was puzzled, so he went to a crowded tavern, sat down, and ordered a pot of cloudy wine and a few small dishes.

But his full attention was focused on the idle chatter of the cultivators in the tavern.

After listening for a while, Fang deduced from the fragmented information gleaned by the cultivators what had happened in the True Realm Sect's Immortal Realm.

It turns out that a few days ago, after rumors spread that the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Longevity Sect had died, the True Realm Sect indeed sent disciples down the mountain to recruit cultivators.

The cultivators, who had made preparations long ago, boarded the True Soul Sect's flying boat with the hope of finding a hidden treasure.

Unexpectedly, the death of the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Longevity Sect was a ruse.

He not only fooled a group of cultivators, but also the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the True Soul Sect.

The members of the True Sect had broken through the protective formation of the Longevity Sect and were about to enter to occupy and plunder.

Unexpectedly, the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Longevity Sect led his cultivators in a surprise attack from the side, putting the members of the True Soul Sect on the defensive and causing heavy casualties.

The Nascent Soul Ancestor of the True Sect risked shortening his lifespan to protect some of his disciples with good aptitude.

As for the independent cultivators, most of them were killed or injured.

Some were captured and forced into mining slavery in the spiritual veins of the Longevity Sect, where they would spend the rest of their lives mining spirit stones.

In addition, Ronan heard another piece of news.

That is, in this battle to attack the Longevity Sect, the head of the Yu family, a family of immortal cultivators, also went and died in the Longevity Sect's immortal domain.

The head of the Yu family was a cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. After his death, the Yu family's strength greatly declined.

The day after the news of the death spread, the Yu family was attacked by the Song family, a cultivation family, and a group of cultivators who took advantage of their misfortune.

Under the combined attack, the Yu family fell.

The Yu family's wealth was completely looted by the cultivators.

The Yu family's businesses were taken over by the Song family.

Not a single man from the Yu family was spared.

The women of the Yu family were either taken as concubines by the Song family or sent to brothels in the mansion area.

Nowadays, some of the Yu family's elixirs, secret manuals, talismans, and other items have also flowed into the market of the eastern shantytown.

Ronan, having learned of this, drank a few mouthfuls of wine, ate several dishes of snacks, paid the bill, and left the tavern.

He planned to go to the market to see if the Yu family had any good items for sale, hoping to snag a bargain.

'The Yu family originally managed the shantytown, but now the Song family has taken over. I wonder how Lin Shan, the Yu family's steward, is doing now.'

Ronan walked along, lost in thought.

After walking for a while, he passed through the area where he lived in his shack.

Then I saw Lin Shan with his hands behind his back, patrolling the spirit fields.

However, Lin Shan had a worried look between his brows and looked quite heavy, which was very different from his usual relaxed demeanor.

As Lin Shan was walking, upon seeing Luo Nan, he forced a smile and bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Luo."

Ronan immediately returned the greeting, and after a moment of silence, asked:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I've heard that the Yu family..."

"Yes, the Yu family is wiped out." Lin Shan sighed.
"Before launching their attack, the Song family tried to win over a number of the Yu family's stewards."

"Although my family is in trouble, it would be disloyal of me to leave now."

"But I have a wife and daughters, and I cannot live or die with the Yu family, so I agreed to the Song family's offer."

"However, after being won over, my status in the Song family as a newcomer has been much lower."

"Although they still let me manage this spiritual field, they intend for me to stay here indefinitely..."

Lin Shan sighed again, and the two remained silent before bowing and taking their leave.

Ronan walked along the path in the spirit field and heard some spirit farmers talking in hushed tones.

Ronan overheard some of it, mostly complaints that since the Song family became the managing family here, they had to pay more spirit rice every year.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Ronan arrived at the Bing-class market. Upon entering, he saw that there were more people setting up stalls in the market.

Ronan strolled slowly through the market, looking at several stalls, but found nothing he liked.

But he had anticipated this.

Good things will naturally be kept by the cultivators themselves.

Only items that are used or unnecessary will be put up for sale.

Ronan went to look at each stall one by one.

Suddenly, I stopped at a stall.

"What's wrong, fellow Daoist? Do you have anything suitable?"

Seeing Ronan stop, the stall owner quickly asked.

Ronan's gaze was fixed on a book.

The book cover bears the four seal characters "The True Explanation of Puppetry".

How many spirit stones does this book cost?

Ronan pointed to "The True Explanation of Puppetry" and asked.

The stall owner was slightly taken aback when he saw that Ronan was actually interested in "The True Explanation of Puppetry," and then said, "Thirty low-grade spirit stones."

'so cheap? '

Ronan felt a slight sense of surprise.

Can I take a look?

"Please."

Ronan picked up the book and opened it.

The book still only has the first few pages; the rest has been torn out.

Ronan read the first few pages and knew that this was a book that taught how to make puppets and control them in battle.

However, the specific methods of production and manipulation are contained in the torn-off portion of the content, and are in the hands of the stall owner.

'Puppets should be a decent fighting tool, so why are they so cheap?'

Ronan pondered for a while without success. Thinking it was only thirty low-grade spirit stones anyway, he figured he couldn't lose out, so he took out thirty low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and placed them on the stall.

"I want this book."

"okay!"

The stall owner clearly hadn't expected anyone to buy the book, and when Ronan handed him the spirit stone, he was overjoyed.

He hurriedly took out the torn portion of the book from his bundle and handed it, along with the first few pages, to Ronan.

After Ronan took the book, he walked around and flipped through it.

Soon, they learned the contents of "The True Explanation of Puppetry".

This book records the methods for making four types of puppet mechanical beasts.

Of these four types of puppet mechanical beasts, the weakest is only at the second level of Qi Refining.

The strongest among them possesses the strength of the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

However, the creation and control of puppet mechanical beasts are not easy.

One of the conditions for crafting puppet mechanical beasts is that one needs the essence of a demon beast.

However, in today's cultivation world, demonic beasts are all kept as pets by large cultivation families and sects.

For independent cultivators, the essence of demonic beasts is extremely difficult to obtain.

But for me, it's not a problem.

The Wizarding World is rich in magical creature resources.

Those famous monster mountain ranges and monster jungles are teeming with monsters.

At sea, there are also magical beasts.

In some places, beast tides may even break out.

After returning to the wizarding world, obtaining spirit essences was much easier for him than in the world of cultivation.
