Xiuxian: I have an inventory

After returning to the city, Xiao Changqing went straight back to the Jinxiufang Cave.

Whatever grudges and conflicts there are between Li Yang Immortal City and the two major Nascent Soul sects is not something he can interfere with.

This matter has nothing to do with him, and his strength is not enough to allow him to get involved in this level of intrigue.

Master Li Yang and his disciples will deal with it slowly.

He was just an ordinary tenant cultivator of Li Yang Immortal City. Even if Li Yang Zhenren's lineage was defeated in the end and Li Yang Immortal City's status was lost, it would not have much to do with him.

The worst outcome is that he moves away and finds a new place to live.

……

Training room.

After Xiao Changqing counted the harvest again, he placed a puppet with missing arms and legs, which was almost unrecognizable as a human, in front of him.

This severely damaged puppet was not the late-stage second-order puppet that was shattered by Gu Zongyuan in the previous battle.

"Strictly speaking, this puppet that is damaged to the point of being unusable is my biggest gain from this trip..."

Xiao Changqing thought secretly.

If this puppet had not been completely destroyed and was completely unusable, but could still mobilize a bit of its power at its peak, the situation of today's battle might have been changed.

Because, this was once a fourth-level puppet!
The inheritance of the Puppet Evil King comes from a sect called "Qianji Sect" thousands of years ago.

This sect is different from the two major Nascent Soul sects of today, the Xingyue Palace and the Qixing Sword Sect.

Although the two major Nascent Soul sects in the current Dayu immortal cultivation world have their own strengths, the most important point is only one, that is, their own cultivation.

The sect has Yuanying Zhenjun in charge, which is the basis for suppressing everything.

But this is different from the 'Thousand Machine Sect' that was active thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago. The most powerful thing about the Thousand Machine Sect is not the cultivation of the monks themselves, but their puppetry.

According to the inheritance jade slips in the storage bag of the Puppet Evil Lord, Qianjimen has a puppet inheritance technique that has reached the "fifth level"!

What does the fifth-level puppetry represent? If you study it to the extreme and have enough materials, you can create a combat power that is one level higher than that of the Yuanying Zhenjun - the Shenhua puppet!
Let alone the God Puppet, in today's world of immortal cultivation, the Yuanying True Lord is already the top combat force!

This is not only the case in the immortal cultivation world of Dayu, but also in other immortal cultivation kingdoms around it. In today's era, there are no more venerable gods. At most, there are top cultivators in the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, in today's era, it is difficult to imagine what it would be like for a puppet to possess the combat power of a god.

of course.

When the Qianji Sect had not yet been wiped out and was still at its peak, there had never been a puppet master who could truly create a fifth-level puppet.

But the Qianji Sect has several fourth-level puppets.

Therefore, even though the world of immortal cultivation was more prosperous at that time, Qianji Sect was definitely a first-class sect at that time.

It is far more powerful than the current Star Moon Palace and Seven Star Sword Sect.

After all, each of these two major Yuanying sects currently has only one Yuanying True Lord.

However, even an existence as powerful as the Thousand Machines Sect had long since disappeared in the long river of history. Thousands and tens of thousands of years had passed, and even the legends about them were almost gone.

Before today, Xiao Changqing had never heard of Qianjimen.

The Puppet Evil King was a man with great opportunities. He obtained a part of the core inheritance of Qianji Sect and was also quite talented in puppetry. He improved his puppetry skills to the quasi-third level step by step.

Yes.

Not only has the Puppet Evil King's cultivation entered the realm of false elixir, but his puppetry technique has also been on the verge of a breakthrough, almost reaching the quasi-third level.

Xiao Changqing deduced this from the list of treasures purchased by the Puppet Evil King.

Many of the materials in this person's storage bag are no longer used to create second-grade top-quality puppets, but are used to prepare for creating third-grade puppets.

"It can be considered quite talented..."

Xiao Changqing thought secretly in his heart.

No matter which of the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, as long as you can get started, you can be considered to have talent.

More than half of the cultivators have no talent in the hundreds of arts of cultivation.

Those who can master any skill and reach the first level can surpass 90% of the cultivators.

If one can reach the first level in the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, he will be considered an 'upper class' person in all the immortal cultivation markets and will enjoy extremely high treatment.

Just like in Nanshanfang in the past, as long as one’s skills reached a certain level, one could live in a ‘Yi’ cave.

And if one can reach the second level, one can live a comfortable life even in the major Jindan sects or places like Liyang Immortal City.

As for reaching the third level, it's like Jiang Jiuyue's father Jiang Canghai, whose talisman reached the third level, which directly made the Jiang family one of the top ten families in Liyang Fairy City!
Therefore, this Puppet Evil King has a really good talent in puppetry and can be considered a genius.

"But... no matter how good your talent is, it's worthless in front of cheats..."

Xiao Changqing looked at the inventory interface and couldn't help but smile.

[Fourth-level mid-grade puppet]

[It was created by two fourth-rank puppeteers, a painstaking work. It once reached the pinnacle of puppetry in the world of immortal cultivation. It was one of the strongest trump cards of the Thousand Machine Sect and has protected the sect for thousands of years. Whether it is the materials or the crafting technology, it is perfect and has a high artistic component. Even though it was completely destroyed in the war and even the main materials lost their effect, you can still see some of its former charm.]

[Equipment Requirements: Thousand Secret Techniques (Beginner’s Guide)]

[Equipment Effect: Puppetry (Level 3, Mid-Level), Puppet Talent Enhancement (Blue)]

Fortunately, when the Puppet Evil King obtained the inheritance of Qianjimen, he did not throw away this abandoned fourth-level puppet, but kept it as a souvenir. It can be considered that he did a good thing.

This completely damaged puppet probably wouldn't fetch much if it were sold. Its incomplete body wouldn't even fetch much if its parts were disassembled, so it could only be sold as scrap.

For the Puppet Evil King, who is worth hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, it is absolutely useless. Keeping it will only take up space.

But if Xiao Changqing got it, it would be very useful!

Two major skills!
Each one is of a level that Xiao Changqing has never encountered before.

Puppetry has directly reached the third level, and it is a mid-level third level!

Before this, Xiao Changqing's highest attainment in the 100 arts of cultivating immortals, talismans, was only at the upper level of the second rank. He only reached that level after arriving in Liyang Immortal City.

As for the blue puppet talent, Xiao Changqing has never encountered it before.

Apart from spiritual root qualifications, other talents and understandings are only white and green.

Blue is one level higher than green.

In other words, equipped with this broken puppet, Xiao Changqing not only became a third-rank intermediate-grade puppeteer, but also became a veritable genius in the area of ​​puppets.

As for the equipment requirements, he must practice the Thousand Machine Sect's core inheritance, the 'Thousand Machine Sect's Essential Techniques'. If Xiao Changqing only has this broken puppet, it would be really troublesome.

The Qianji Sect has been destroyed for at least several thousand years, and even the news about it is almost lost in the long river of history. There are not many cultivators in the current cultivation world who know the name of this sect. How can we find the core inherited spells of this sect?
But Xiao Changqing actually found the inheritance jade slip of the Thousand Secret Techniques from the storage bag of the Puppet Evil King!

I don’t know if this jade slip is the only copy handed down from Qianji Sect to this day, but it is an authentic copy, and it was personally engraved by an elder who taught martial arts in Qianji Sect thousands of years ago!

After Xiao Changqing equipped himself with the jade slip of power transmission, he was not only able to get started with the Thousand Secret Techniques, but also achieved minor success!
In this way, the conditions for equipping a fourth-level broken puppet will no longer be a problem for Xiao Changqing.

"It's a bit like a nesting doll..."

Xiao Changqing was in a good mood. He temporarily took off the two pieces of equipment and equipped the jade slip for transmitting skills first.

As the thought came to his mind, all the experience in practicing the Thousand Secret Techniques immediately flooded into Xiao Changqing's mind like an epiphany.

Fortunately, Xiao Changqing's soul is strong enough now, and it is already better than many cultivators in the middle stage of Jindan, so it is not painful for him to accept it.

After a while, he opened his eyes.

"It turns out that this is a secret technique related to the soul..."

Xiao Changqing was a little surprised.

Qianji Yaoshu, the core inherited technique of Qianji Sect, is also a technique that must be practiced in the Qianji Sect's puppet inheritance. In fact, it is not about how to make puppets, but about how to temper the soul!
However, unlike the Dragon Roar Technique and the Nine Autumn Secret Technique, the Qianqiu Essential Technique does not involve any means of spiritual attack, nor does it have any means of spiritual defense.

The only function of this magic is to create puppets!
Because making puppets is a very mentally taxing task.

It takes much more effort than making talismans or refining pills!

This is especially true for higher-level puppets!

It requires a very meticulous grasp of various details, so the Thousand Secret Techniques is used to temper the concentration of the soul.

It was also because of his practice of the Thousand Secrets Technique that when the Puppet Evil King faced Xiao Changqing's Nine Autumn Secret Technique that could suppress it to the fake pill level, he was caught off guard and suffered a loss, but he quickly reacted.

If he had not practiced the Thousand Secrets Technique, he would have been restrained immediately at the beginning and then captured by the Liyang Guards led by Gu Zongyuan.

"This Thousand Secrets Technique has some similarities with the Nightmare Technique in terms of training the soul, but the Thousand Secrets Technique is much purer than the Nightmare Technique."

"Before the middle stage of Jindan, this secret technique is really useless except for studying and building puppets."

"but……"

"After one's cultivation reaches the late stage of Jindan and the soul grows to its limit, this Qianqiu Essential Technique will have a good effect."

Xiao Changqing commented after trying the secret technique.

When the soul has grown to its limit, it needs to undergo a deeper qualitative change, become more condensed, and begin to prepare for the tribulation.

The Qianqiu Yaoshu is used by the Qianji Sect to train fourth-order puppet masters, that is, to train puppeteers who can create fourth-order puppets or even the legendary fifth-order puppets.

If one wants to create a puppet of level four or above, the requirements for the soul will not be much lower than the requirements for transcending tribulation.

"This can be considered an unexpected surprise."

Xiao Changqing felt very happy.

The benefits obtained from True Man Blood Crow were somewhat disappointing.

But what exploded from the Puppet Evil King far exceeded expectations.

Overall, it has been made up.

After becoming familiar with the Thousand Secret Techniques, Xiao Changqing did not hesitate and immediately equipped the broken fourth-order puppet into the system.

After that, he officially became a third-level intermediate-grade puppeteer!

If this identity were to be made public, regardless of his actual strength, soul power, and everything else, he could directly become the second most important person in Liyang Immortal City!

In the entire Dayu cultivation world, they can also become one of the top few people, talents that the two major Nascent Soul forces are fighting for!
The status of a third-rank mid-grade puppeteer far exceeds that of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator.

It is enough to rival the great immortals in the late Jindan stage!
At most, he cannot be compared with Immortal Li Yang, who almost dominates all the Immortals in the Jindan realm.

"It just so happens that the hidden danger of Master Blood Crow has been resolved."

"Then I will go into seclusion during this period of time and try to see if I can create a third-level puppet!"

A third-level puppet is one that can rival a Jindan Real Person!
A Jindan Zhenren was already able to dominate the world of immortal cultivation in Dayu and found his own sect. But Xiao Changqing was able to create such a fighting force. How terrifying was that?
Therefore, the Yuanying forces will also fight for it.

"However, in addition to the skill requirements, there is another very important point in creating a third-level puppet, and that is to prepare enough materials!"

The materials for a third-level puppet are not easy to gather.

The raw materials needed to create a third-level puppet would cost tens of thousands or nearly a hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, many of the materials are difficult to purchase. Even the major stores in Liyang Xian City may not be able to buy them. You need to find someone with connections to purchase them specifically!
Fortunately, the Puppet Evil King had already prepared to try to create a third-order puppet before this, so he had already collected more than half of them, especially the rarest and most difficult to buy items and new materials.

This is another way to help Xiao Changqing.

Thinking of this, Xiao Changqing sighed silently in his heart again, the Puppet Evil King is quite a good person in this regard!

"During this period, first, I will purchase all the materials needed to build a third-level puppet. Secondly, before building a third-level puppet, I will first build a few second-level high-quality puppets to practice my skills!"

Xiao Changqing thought in his mind.

Although he was directly endowed with the third-level mid-grade puppetry by the system, he had never tried it himself, so he couldn't try out the third-level puppet right away.

It's too expensive, and it's not easy to collect materials. It's painful to fail once. (End of this chapter)
