Mysterious mirror hanging high

"The second level is a puppet holding a bow. Judging from its spiritual pressure, it is estimated to be stronger than a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training, but it has not yet reached the foundation building level."

"It seems that this is a puppet at the tenth level of Qi training." Jing Yu thought to himself.

In the past three years in Wushan Market, he has read many books on the realm of cultivation, but it seems that no one has ever mentioned the tenth level of Qi training. It seems that this is a big secret at least among low-level cultivators.

Zhao Yunlong sighed, "I fought it for a long time, and just barely defeated it. I didn't hold much hope for the third level anymore, but I was still a little unwilling to give up. I held the jade talisman given by the secret realm in my hand and went to take a look at the third level."

"The third level was a real puppet in the early stage of foundation building. I only had a brief encounter with it and was so frightened that I quickly crushed the jade talisman."

"According to what the old senior said, the one I encountered in the first level should be a third-level Qi training puppet."

Jing Yu pondered and said, "If it's just the third level of Qi training, Zhao still has some confidence."

"Then I wish you success!" Zhao Yunlong said with a smile, "I've heard that you are also a practitioner of both Dharma and physical cultivation. Previously, due to my duties, I never had the opportunity to make this acquaintance. Now, I must rely on you!"

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Jing Yu bowed and walked straight to the lower abdomen of the puppet statue without wasting any words. Following the instructions of the crowd, he pressed his palm on the navel of the puppet statue and channeled a trace of magic power into it.

The statue's eyes suddenly lit up, and a gap wide enough for one person to pass through suddenly appeared on its originally smooth and flat belly.

Jing Yu knew that this gap could only be passed by someone with magical powers, otherwise he would be killed directly, so he stepped in.

He felt dizzy and the next moment he was teleported to a metal round platform that looked like a ring.

"I never thought there was something mysterious inside this puppet's belly. Is it simply a space formation that can teleport, or is there a whole universe hidden within it?"

While Jing Yu was still sighing, a hole opened in the ceiling and a wooden puppet holding a wooden hammer fell from the sky and landed on the round platform.

Jing Yu felt the spiritual pressure and said, "He's really at the third level of Qi training. His strength is just one level higher than my Qi training level!"

The puppet holding the wooden hammer suddenly raised the weapon in his hand and rushed towards Jing Yu.

However, the speed of the third-level Qi training puppet was as slow as a turtle compared to the terrifying five senses of the eighth-level body casting of Jing Yu. It posed no threat at all. He simply used his hand to gently block the wooden hammer that the puppet was smashing down with all its might, and with his other hand, he lightly stroked the puppet's head and squeezed it hard. The entire head of the puppet instantly turned into a pile of sawdust.

"You have passed the first level of the advanced test. Please claim your reward."

A small leather bag with exquisite workmanship fell from the sky. Jing Yu caught it with his hand, opened it and saw that it contained ten spirit stones.

"The first level is ten spirit stones? No wonder a spirit plant husband like Hu Yiming, who has such poor combat power, wants to try his luck..."

Jing Yu weighed the leather bag in his hand and put it into the storage bag. "It's a pity that this is just an ordinary leather bag. My one cubic meter storage bag is a bit insufficient. I wonder if there is a larger storage bag among the rewards?"

The second level was a black iron puppet holding a knife. Its strength was estimated to be around the fourth level of Qi training, but it was still killed instantly by Jing Yu with one punch.

This time, another leather bag fell from the sky. Jing Yu quickly grabbed it, but felt that the bag seemed empty.

So he tried to channel a bit of his magic power into it, and sure enough, there was something else hidden in this small bag.

"You actually gave me a storage bag?" Jing Yu almost laughed out loud. "A fifty-cubic-meter bag? That's enough for me to build my foundation."

"Daoist Lord! Can you give me a divine beast, divine servant, or something like that in the next level? I'm just a lowly Qi cultivator, and I really lack the means to protect myself in the lower realms. I'm a little nervous!"

Jing Yu still didn't get any response. At the next level, a bronze puppet holding a saber fell down.

"Fifth level of Qi training..."

Jing Yu narrowed his eyes. This time he slowed down and just pressed the bronze puppet to the ground. It took a quarter of an hour before he crushed it with his foot.

The main reason was that he was worried that the advancement test only had three levels. If he could break through them in one go, it would be somewhat horrifying. He couldn't kill all the dozens of monks outside just to keep the secret.

This time he fully expected that the Taoist Nine Lives would give him a spirit beast or something, or at least a spirit beast egg. Unexpectedly, a stone suddenly fell from the sky and landed right on Jing Yu's head, making it impossible for him to dodge.

"Ouch!"

The stone hit Jing Yu's forehead exactly. Even though his physical body had been trained to be stronger than steel, the stone still left a large dark blue bump on his forehead.

“What kind of divine stone is this!”

He quickly picked up the stone, but with just a light squeeze, the divine stone that had just hit his forehead and left a black bruise turned into stone chips.

Only then did Jing Yu realize that there was a piece of paper wrapped in the stone. He unfolded the paper and saw only three large characters written on it:

"It's a beautiful thought."

Jing Yu rolled up the note again embarrassedly, but he didn't dare to throw it away, so he could only stuff it into the storage bag.

After a while, another silver puppet descended from the sky, holding a silver spear in its hand, which was very similar to the spear Zhao Yunlong was carrying on his back.

"Sixth level of Qi training..."

The cultivation of these puppets progressed layer by layer, and it was so stable that there was no surprise at all. Jing Yu was now only two levels away from completing the Qi training level. Dealing with a puppet at the sixth level of Qi training was naturally no problem at all. He tore the puppet into pieces in no time. This time, a jade slip actually fell from the sky.

Jing Yu probed his spiritual thoughts into the jade slip, and instantly a large amount of information rushed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

[Puppetry Explanation: Qi Training]

This is a magnificent masterpiece that describes almost all the key points of puppetry in the Qi training stage. Even if Jing Yu knows nothing about puppetry, he can feel the value of this book [True Explanation of Puppets] for puppeteers!

There were many puppet-making methods among them that even a reincarnated person like himself who had seen the world found incredible. He secretly sighed in his heart that the Nine-Life Taoist Lord was able to become a Taoist Lord not only by relying on his long life character!

Jing Yu slowly took the jade slip off his forehead. This was the first time he used a jade slip to browse information, and he felt it was novel.

The moment he finished reading the jade slip, he suddenly realized that the gap between Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Condensation cultivators might be even greater than he had imagined!

A foundation-building cultivator with divine consciousness can read millions of words of information on a jade slip in an instant and remember it firmly, while a Qi-cultivating cultivator can only read it bit by bit from a paper book... The channels for the two to obtain knowledge and information are already worlds apart, which may be more fatal than the gap in combat power!
