Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 43 Making Mechanical Beasts

Besides the difficulty in crafting puppet mechanical beasts, the conditions required to control them also deter many cultivators.

First, the power source for the puppet mechanical beast is spirit stones.

For most independent cultivators, even if they were given a decent puppet mechanical beast...

He didn't have enough spirit stones to make the puppet mechanical beast move.

Secondly, to control multiple puppet mechanical beasts, one must learn the method of distraction and possess a large amount of mental energy.

The book "The True Explanation of Puppetry" records a method for dividing the spirit called "The Divine Transformation Technique".

However, the Divine Evolution Technique contains a reminder to cultivate it with caution.

That is, if one practices the Divine Soul Separation Technique improperly, it may damage the foundation of one's soul.

Damage to the foundation of one's soul is extremely difficult to repair; if it cannot be repaired, it essentially ends one's path to immortality.

'Perhaps those rogue cultivators have already heard of puppetry and know how difficult it is to cultivate, which is why this book has been ignored,' Ronan thought.
'Those cultivation families and sects probably also possess puppetry techniques, which is why they disregarded this book.'

'Anyway, this is a bargain for me.'

Ronan smiled slightly and put the book into his storage bag.

Then, after browsing around the C-class market again, finding nothing to his liking, he left the market and went to the A-class and B-class markets, but still found nothing.

So, Ronan left the True Immortal Realm and returned to the small attic.

He sat at the dining table, summoned Hongmeng, and brought up the contents of "The True Explanation of Puppetry".

A stream of information surged through my mind.

He planned to first find a puppet mechanical beast, the Palace Guardian Beast, based on the "True Explanation of Puppetry".

……

West of Triumph City lies the Forest of Gurt.

Ronan threw the flying sword talisman, and with a flash of silver light, the head of a first-tier magical beast, the Mountain Wolf, immediately flew off its body.

To create a guardian beast, one needs to find a piece of spiritual wood, which is wood that can channel magical energy.

Ronan immediately realized that the wood used to make wands in the wizarding world was this kind of wood.

His knowledge of magical plants has reached the master level. He is familiar with many magical plants that can be used to make wands and knows where they come from.

Just to the west of Triumph City lies a forest called the Forest of Gurt.

Inside are magical plants that can be used to make magic wands.

So he went to the Forest of Gurt, equipped himself with all the amulets and lightness charms, and ventured deep into the forest to cut down the magical plants and create the Guardian Beast.

After killing the wolf, Ronan continued his journey deeper into the forest.

Finally, we saw a grove of trees with deep purple trunks.

This tree, called "purple iris wood," can be used to make magic wands.

Ronan immediately threw the still-burning flying sword forward, and with a flash of light, it cleaved a tree in half.

Then, Ronan continued to manipulate the flying sword, cutting down trees.

He chopped the tree trunks into several sections, touched them, and put them into his storage bag.

Once he had collected enough trees to make a guardian beast, Ronan left the forest and returned to his small attic in Triumph City. On a whim, he transmigrated to the world of cultivation.

The next moment, the scenery changed, and they arrived at a spacious mansion.

This is the secular kingdom of Wei, a world of cultivation.

The True Immortal Realm of the ...

He bought a large mansion in a city in the Wei Kingdom near the True Immortal Realm of the Realm of the True Immortal Sect, specifically to refine the Palace Guardian Beast.

Because crafting puppet mechanical beasts would generate a lot of noise, it is really not suitable to do so in the small attic of the Wizarding World.

Once the materials are obtained, the crafting methods must be used to forge them into puppet mechanical beasts. The "True Explanation of Puppets" records the methods of crafting.

The weapon-forging methods inside are not profound, but once learned, they are enough to create the four types of puppet mechanical beasts described in "The True Explanation of Puppetry".

In the past few days, Ronan has thoroughly mastered the weapon-refining techniques in "The True Explanation of Puppetry".

His stats include the skill of weapon crafting, which he has mastered to 1%.

Since it's made of wood, there's no need to build a stove or start a fire.

Next, the crafting technique was used to deform, twist, and carve inscriptions on the trunk of the demonic tree, thus creating a guardian beast.

……

After two days, Ronan finally finished creating the guardian beast.

Guardian Beast (Entry-level 65%)

The proficiency level of this puppet beast could also be analyzed by Hongmeng.

The more he makes them, the faster he can produce these puppet mechanical beasts.

The illustrations are basically the same as those in "The True Explanation of Puppetry". This guardian beast is lizard-like and almost the size of a person.

He was standing at Ronan's feet, staring blankly ahead.

By simply adding a wisp of the lizard demon beast's essence and injecting a wisp of his own divine consciousness, he could control this seemingly dull, wooden guardian beast.

Ronan examined the guardian beast he had spent two days making for a while, then, following the instructions in "The True Explanation of Puppetry," he channeled his magic power and chanted a spell.

In an instant, the seal script carved inside the guardian beast emitted a white light, instantly enveloping the guardian beast.

Then, Ronan reached out and beckoned, and the white light immediately shrank and flew into his hand.

Thanks to the magical effect of the seal script, this palace-guarding beast shrank to a size smaller than his palm.

Ronan chanted the incantation again, and the seal script inside the miniature gecko once more lit up with a white light.

He tossed the guardian beast aside, and the white light suddenly magnified, transforming on the ground into a guardian beast almost the size of a person.

'That's amazing!'

Ronan sighed inwardly, then chanted the incantation again and withdrew his hand.

The guardian beast then transformed into a beam of white light and was stored in his storage bag.

'The guardian beast is complete. Next, it's time to learn how to control it.'

According to "The True Explanation of Puppetry", one must manipulate the guardian beast to obtain the essence of the demon beast.

This requires learning three spells: Soul-Trapping Technique, Soul-Refining Technique, and Soul-Condensing Technique.

The purpose is to kill the monster, extract its soul using the Soul-Trapping Technique, refine it into its essence using the Soul-Refining Technique, and finally condense it into the puppet mechanical beast using the Soul-Gathering Technique.

'These three spells look a lot like necromancy!'

Necromancy has always been one of the most feared forms of magic by wizards in the Kingdom of Valant.

Necromancers have always been among the most sought-after assassins by royalty.

Because witchcraft involving death, while magical and fascinating, is also fraught with danger.

In the past, there have been instances of necromancers causing trouble.

The original owner had once read a book that mentioned this matter.

It is said that in order to quell this rebellion, the royal family of the Kingdom of Valant even lost a legendary wizard.

It was precisely because the royal family forbade necromancy that he could not buy monster essences on the market and had to find his own way to obtain them.

'I mustn't let anyone else find out that I've mastered these three spells.'

Ronan thought about it and began to practice these three spells according to the "True Explanation of Puppetry".
