Chapter 189 Advanced Puppetry

A few hours later.

Qin Ming has finished refining it seven times.

There were still several failures.

finally.

Wait until the eighth refining time.

A burst of colorful rays of light emerged from the inside of the Xuanyu furnace, and the dense clouds lingered on the alchemy furnace.

Qin Ming looked happy and raised his hand toward the pill furnace. Suddenly, a transparent elixir with six lines on it appeared in his palm.

"Excellent soul-reviving pill!"

After consuming all the remaining materials, Qin Ming refined two ordinary-quality soul-returning pills and two high-quality soul-returning pills.

For the extremely difficult second-level elixir, the elixir success rate is already very high.

Qin Ming took a few pills and studied them for a while, then put them into the jade bottle.

"Tsk, tsk, this seemingly ordinary pill can actually bring the monk back to his peak. It's a flash in the pan."

Although he had already refined the elixir in less than a month, he was not in a hurry to deliver it to Canghai Fairy City.

Anyway, in three months, he will go to Danding Pavilion in Canghai Immortal City to collect spiritual materials in person, so he might as well come together then.

Next time.

In addition to practicing, Qin Ming continued to study the high-level puppetry technique that he had obtained from Miao Renke's storage bag.

After several years of research, Qin Ming's use of puppetry and distraction has almost reached the second level.

The few straw puppets in the spiritual field have also been upgraded to the first level of the best by him.

After returning from Canghai Fairy City last time, he also bought some materials and refined the second-level puppet.

Inside the cave.

Qin Ming was concentrating on playing with the objects in his hands.

Many materials were gradually shaped by Qin Ming's careful carving, and then a black copper block in his hand was embedded into the core.

A puppet in the shape of a spirit turtle was assembled by him.

Qin Ming also painted the exterior with a layer of khaki paint, which makes it look vivid at first glance.

Qin Ming then embedded a middle-grade spiritual stone into the core groove of the turtle puppet.

Suddenly, the whole spirit puppet made a crackling sound all over its body, and a burst of dark green spirit patterns lit up on its surface.

The three-foot-sized spirit turtle puppet moved for a moment, then lit up a pair of cyan eyes and looked at Qin Ming, waiting for his instructions.

Qin Ming used the puppet control technique and separated a ray of his spiritual thoughts into the puppet.

The next moment.

The spirit turtle held its head high and its chest high, and the huge turtle shell behind it shone with a layer of earthy yellow light.

The power of spiritual pressure it exudes is comparable to the early stage of foundation building among immortal cultivators.

"The second-order low-grade puppet! Finally refined."

"Although it's just a low-quality second-level puppet, there is still room for improvement."

Qin Ming looked at his meticulous work and was quite satisfied.

This turtle puppet is a defensive puppet that can withstand attacks below the middle stage of foundation establishment. It also has a water arrow technique, which is about as powerful as the spells of ordinary foundation establishment monks.

Puppetry has many uses for Qin Ming, besides helping him dig and weed.

In the future practice outings, if you encounter a big opportunity, if it involves the opportunity of forming an elixir, or even the opportunity of the Nascent Soul in the future.

Even if he lives long enough, it is inevitable that he will not remain indifferent.

After mastering the puppetry technique, he naturally became cannon fodder for him.

You can reduce a lot of risks for yourself.

Monster materials, spiritual wood, ores, etc. can all be used as materials for refining puppets.

Qin Ming lacked these things the most, so learning to refine them was quite smooth.

Since then, in addition to spiritual cultivation and alchemy, Qin Ming also has a hundred arts of cultivating immortals and has entered the second level.

…

Two months later.

After Qin Ming's continuous improvement and addition of materials, the quality of the puppet was improved.

Two brand new second-level low-grade turtle puppets were born in his hands. Although their attack power is not very good, they are very strong and durable. They can also be used as cannon fodder for path exploration in the future.

Anyway, he still has a lot of spiritual materials in his hands, and they can be remade if they are scrapped.

"The three-month period has come and it's almost time. It's time to go to Canghai Fairy City."

Qin Ming put the two spirit puppets into his storage bag, then summoned the Silver-Winged Frost Bee, opened the misty illusion, and left Wangyue Island directly.

The situation in the outside world has not changed much, but the monsters have not calmed down much compared to before.

Qin Ming rode the Silver-Winged Frost Bee at full speed. He was riding lightning fast all the way. After more than an hour, he arrived at Canghai Fairy City.

The soil outside the fairy city is still bright red. It seems that it has experienced the impact of several waves of beasts during this period.

"Hey hey hey!"

"There's a fat sheep here!"

"Brother, please stay!"

"A fight. A robbery!"

Just when Qin Ming was staying not far outside Canghai Fairy City, he had just put the Silver-winged Frost Bee into the spirit beast bag and was about to send a message to Lu Liang to ask him to open the formation for him and enter the city.

Two rays of light flashed away, and the figures of two monks, one fat and one thin, blocked his way.

The two men had evil eyes, exuding mana fluctuations in the early stages of foundation building, and were staring at Qin Ming with evil smiles on their faces.

It seemed that he was taking advantage of the chaos of the beast tide and was stationed near the fairy city.

"Brother, you are so brave. In such a chaotic world, you dare to go out alone."

"Since we're alone, it's no wonder that we, Sheshan Shuangsha, are in trouble."

"If you just obey and let us go, you won't have to put us two brothers through a lot of trouble."

"Maybe I can save you some pain later, hehe!"

Qin Ming was also quite depressed. He had not encountered any monster attacks on the way here.

Unexpectedly, when he was close to Canghai Xiancheng, he encountered two robbery cultivators.

However, the level of these two people was far inferior to that of the fierce bandits like Lin Zixiao.

Qin Ming raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Two Taoist friends, I have a treasure here, and I think it is destined for you two, why not take a look?"

"What treasure?!"

"Take it out quickly, if you want to play tricks, we brothers will let you know why the flowers are so red!"

Qin Ming smiled when he heard it, and then slapped the storage bag, and the two turtle puppets turned into two streams of light and instantly appeared in the air in front of him.

"Second-level puppet!"

The moment the turtle puppet appeared, the Sheshan Twins on the opposite side couldn't help but exclaimed.

It was originally a two-on-one situation, but the situation suddenly reversed and became three-on-two.

In fact, Qin Ming had such patience to argue with these two stupid thieves, in fact, he just wanted to test the strength of the two newly produced second-level spirit puppets.

He was just worried about having no place to test, but he didn't expect that two of them would come to his door, and they were exactly in the early stage of the foundation-building period.

"Hey, hey, brother, you misunderstood!"

"We recognized the wrong person just now, I'm really sorry!"

"We'll leave now."

But they were about to fly back.

Buzz~

A silver stream of light flashed, and suddenly appeared in front of the Sheshan Twin Demons.

The figures of the two cultivators, one fat and one thin, who were flying back, suddenly braked in mid-air.

Then they looked at the thing that blocked their retreat. When they saw it clearly, their pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly!

They were so scared that they almost peed their ass.

Because behind them was a silver-winged frost bee as big as a calf, exuding a huge spiritual pressure of a second-level mid-stage demon.

And it looked like the pet of the ordinary-looking monk just now.

"Oh my god! Is this the fat sheep you mentioned?"

"Why do I feel that we two look more like fat sheep?"

The two of them were already sweating profusely. They didn't expect that they would hit a wall on the first day of their begging.

"My fellow Taoist, we are blind and don't recognize the great man. Please let us go!" The two returned and bowed deeply to Qin Ming.

Suddenly!

More than ten spiked spiritual weapons flashing with green poisonous light rushed straight towards Qin Ming's face.

The Sheshan Twin Evils obviously didn't expect Qin Ming to let them go, and they actually chose to break through from his body, which was the 'weakest' in cultivation.

As long as Qin Ming was subdued, the remaining puppets and pets would naturally obey.

But reality is always a little different from imagination.

In an instant, one of the turtle puppets stretched to the middle, and the turtle shell on its back suddenly became larger, emitting a burst of earth-yellow spiritual light.

Ding ding ding ding!

A series of collisions sounded, and the two men's all-out sneak attacks were completely blocked by the turtle puppets.

The two brothers were stunned.

Then the two turtle puppets attacked from the front and back, rushing towards the two cultivators.

In an instant, the two puppets and the two cultivators fought in a group.

Qin Ming and the Silver Wing Frost Bee watched the show calmly on the side.

Various spells flashed in the air and flew around.

Even if the Sheshan Twin Evils used all their strength, they could not break through the defense of the turtle puppets.

But once they wanted to take advantage of the speed and run out, the terrifying Silver Wing Frost Bee would appear in front of them in a weird way.

Gradually.

The two robbery cultivators were exhausted by the two turtle puppets.

It was already the end of their strength.

Qin Ming had almost finished testing the spirit puppets, and immediately sent his divine consciousness into one of the spirit puppets.

Then the turtle puppet opened its mouth and sprayed a blue water arrow that flashed through the air and instantly pierced the chests of the two cultivators at a strange angle.

"Ah!"

The two screamed and fell from the air.

Qin Ming didn't even raise his eyelids, and directly threw two black spirit seeds and cast the thorn spell on the two.

Then he harvested two blood beads and two storage bags. As for the corpses, they would soon become food for passing monsters.

Qin Ming opened the storage bag and took a look. It seemed that the Sheshan Twins were also at the bottom of the robbery cultivation world. Except for tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, the rest were some ordinary things.

With a single hand, he shrank the two turtle puppets and flew to him.

Qin Ming took a closer look. After the fierce fight, the two puppets only had a few scratches that were not particularly obvious, and everything else was normal.

"Well, not bad!"

Then he put away the spirit puppet and flew towards the fairy city.

...

Halfway, Qin Ming sent a message to Lu Liang.

Half an incense stick later.

Lu Liang rushed out of the city and personally let Qin Ming pass.

"Oh, fellow Daoist Qin, I didn't expect you to come to the fairy city so soon!" Lu Liang greeted Qin Ming warmly.

Fellow Daoist Qin smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you, fellow Daoist Lu. Every time I have to trouble you to open the door in person."

"Hey! What are you saying, fellow Daoist Qin? You are being polite!"

"What is the important matter for fellow Daoist Qin to come to the fairy city? Is there anything I can help with?"

"It's not a particularly important matter, just a small matter, no need to bother fellow Daoist Lu."

"Oh, in that case, please come to my house after you finish your business. I'll ask Wanjun to prepare a nice meal tonight."

"Sure, sure."

As they talked, they had already arrived at the inner city.

Lü Liang had official business to attend to, so he went there first.

Qin Ming went straight along the main road and came to the core area of ​​Canghai Xiancheng.

Following Wei Wuya's instructions, he turned and walked through several alleys and came to an elegant pavilion with three large characters "Linglong Pavilion" engraved on the plaque.

It was the industry opened by Lei Yuanzong in Canghai Xiancheng.

Qin Ming immediately stepped in.

As soon as he entered, a white-haired old man in a blue robe came out and greeted him enthusiastically:

"Oh! It's Fellow Daoist Qin who is here!"

"My last name is Mei, and I'm the shopkeeper of this Linglong Pavilion. Young Sect Master Wei told me about it not long ago."

Fellow Daoist Qin observed Shopkeeper Mei for a while and found that he was actually in the late stage of foundation building.

He returned the greeting, "Shopkeeper Mei."

"This is not a place to talk, please go upstairs." Shopkeeper Mei smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

After a while.

After the two went upstairs.

After setting up a soundproof ban in the room, Shopkeeper Mei asked in confusion: "Fellow Daoist Qin, you came to the pavilion so early. Did something go wrong during the process of refining the Soul-Returning Pill?"

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Or is it because there are not enough spiritual materials?"

"But in that case, I am sorry that I can't help. The spiritual materials for refining the Soul-Returning Pill are really hard to find."

When Shopkeeper Mei saw Fellow Daoist Qin coming, he didn't even think about the success of refining the pill.

Because it was only three months ago.

In his cognition, even the most powerful second-level great alchemist would have a hard time even if he studied the pill formula, let alone start refining it.

Even Elder Yan of Lei Yuanzong studied it for more than half a year before he started refining it, but the result was still terrible.

Qin Dao shook his head. He didn't plan to stay here for too long. He wanted to settle the money and goods, get the spiritual materials promised by Wei Wuya and leave.

He then took out two exquisite porcelain bottles, placed them on the table, and said straight to the point: "Shopkeeper Mei, thanks to Fellow Daoist Wei, I have successfully refined two pills."

As soon as the voice fell.

Buzz~

Shopkeeper Mei stared at the pill bottle handed over by Qin Ming, his mind blank.

"Fellow Daoist Qin Qin!"

"It's already refined?"

Qin Ming nodded without comment.

"Yes, one ordinary quality and one fine quality soul-returning pill, Shopkeeper Mei can check it."

"What?!"

"Fine soul-returning pill!"

"..."

Then Shopkeeper Mei couldn't wait to open the two porcelain bottles in front of him and tilted them to pour out two pills.

As a late foundation-building master of Lei Yuan Sect, he had lived for so long and still had some experience.

When he saw the six pill patterns on one of the elixirs, he finally showed a look of shock.
