Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Art of Puppetry

After a while, the monk surnamed Ku's eyes reluctantly moved away from the bottle of pills, only to see him glance at Xiang Tian, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he said with a hint of excitement: "Dare to ask Daoyou, this pill is refined by Daoyou, but there are other pills?"

Xiang Tian glanced at the monk surnamed Ku, and then chuckled and said, "Hehe, the origin of this elixir involves some secrets, but I can't tell Daoist friends below." If Daoist friends really want this kind of heavenly elixir, although I don't have many here, I can sell them all to Daoists. ”

"Oh, that's true!" The monk surnamed Ku's eyes lit up, and then he thought of something, and asked cautiously again: "But I don't know how many grade pills you have these days?"

Although Xiang Tian said that he wanted to sell all these pills to him, who knew what the number of "these" was? Three or four were called "these", and five or six were also called "these", so the monk surnamed Ku asked again.

"Well, when I got this elixir before, there was only one bottle, and there were twenty pills in this bottle, and all of them were Heavenly Grade Pills. So far in my cultivation, I have used a total of three, so with this heaven-grade pill in the hands of Dao Friends, I only have seventeen left. Xiang Tian had already said what he had thought of, but it was up to the other party's reaction.

"Seventeen!" The monk surnamed Ku was a little stunned, and then reacted and said, "Brother Xiang, are these pills really all Heavenly Grade Pills?"

Xiang Tian pretended to be very dissatisfied and said, "What's the matter?

"No, no, no. Brother Xiang, don't blame, I'm just a little excited for a while!" The monk surnamed Ku glanced at Xiang Tian and hurriedly said in a panic.

The former is not unaware of the preciousness of the Heavenly Rank Pill, although it is only taken by monks in the Qi cultivation period, but if this production method can be studied, that is the most important thing. Therefore, when he heard that Xiang Tian actually had seventeen pills, he seemed a little hurried.

"Ku Daoyou, you must also know that the value of this Heavenly Grade Spirit Pill is definitely not less than that Tianchen Stick. And I don't need the spirit jade so much, so this time, I just want to exchange these spirit pills for some treasures from Dao friends. Xiang Tian looked at the big man's face and knew that it was time to close the net, so he showed his fox tail.

"Yes, if this Heavenly Grade Spirit Pill is bought and sold with spirit jade, it will tarnish the essence of this elixir. The monk surnamed Ku pondered for a long time, then looked at the jade bottle in his hand, and thought about it.

After a while, the monk surnamed Ku gritted his teeth, took out a storage bag from his arms, and said solemnly: "Brother Xiang, although this pill is only useful for Qi cultivation period cultivators, its value is so high that it is not comparable to ordinary pills. In this way, I have a few things here, I should be able to exchange these pills, presumably Brother Xiang will also be interested. ”

"Oh, since Daoyou said so, it seems that the contents of this bag are extraordinary!" Xiang Tian took the bag, looked at the monk surnamed Ku with a solemn face, and then took out several jade bottles and handed them to the latter.

The monk surnamed Naku snatched these jade bottles, then carefully placed them on the table, and then poured out the pills inside, and checked them one by one. And Xiang Tian also erased the divine thought on the storage bag and probed the divine sense into it.

I saw that there were not many things in this storage bag, but the fluctuations on it made Xiang Tian have to face it. I saw that there was a four-inch square jade slip and a puppet in this storage bag, as well as a lot of light gray beads.

"Huh?" Xiang Tian took out the puppet inside, fiddled with it casually, and found that the mana fluctuations on this puppet's body actually had the strength to reach the peak of Qi training, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart at the moment, and immediately looked at the jade slip again.

Holding this jade slip in his hand, Xiang Tian thought about it for a while, then put it on his forehead, and his divine sense sank into the jade slip. After a while, Xiang Tiancai put it down with some excitement on his face, and then checked the light gray beads in the storage bag.

After the two of them were silent for a long time, the monk surnamed Ku finally broke his calm and said, "Brother Xiang, you have stored the pills properly these days, and the medicinal effect has not been lost, and you really cherish it very much. As for these things that are used in exchange, can Brother Xiang be satisfied?"

"No wonder Ku Daoyou dared to hand over this method of refining puppets to me for inspection, but it made me a little embarrassed. Xiang Tian shook the storage bag, then sighed, and said with a wry smile on his face.

In the jade slip in Xiang Tian's hand, it was recorded that there was a method of refining a puppet called "Soul Puppet", which was not troublesome, as long as he could calm down and make it.

There are many kinds of materials for refining soul puppets, it can be said that there is no limit, even things used by mortals such as stones and wooden boards can be used for refining, for this, it is very suitable for some Qi cultivation stage disciples who are relatively limited in cultivation resources.

Of course, there are pros and cons to this matter, although the method of refining the puppet is recorded, but the core of the puppet is not mentioned, but it makes Xiang Tian have a headache.

This core thing is called the "Spirit Bead", which is a specially refined treasure, this "Spirit Bead" is no more than the size of a thumb, but it is extremely rich in functions.

First of all, this "Spirit Orb" can continuously absorb the free energy of the outside world, so that the puppet does not have to continuously replace the spirit jade to maintain its operation. The second advantage is that this "Spirit Bead" can also give the puppet a trace of spirituality, and even let the puppet cultivate on its own, which is a bit appalling.

The third advantage is that the person who controls the puppet directly gives orders to the puppet, and the "soul puppet" can fight independently, thus reducing the consumption of the monk's consciousness and taking the lead in fighting.

Xiang Tian's storage bag contained no less than dozens of "Spirit Beads". When it runs out, it will be gone, that is to say, Xiang Tian can arm dozens of "soul puppets" at most. If mass production is to be realized, this plan will also die because there is no core, so Xiang Tian has mixed feelings about this thing.

"Brother Xiang, handing over this puppet refining technique to Brother Xiang is already my biggest concession. And the refining method of this 'Spirit Bead' is a secret that our clan does not pass on, and I hope Brother Xiang will forgive me. "There's no way for the monk to do it, after all, it's the only thing he can get his hands on.

Xiang Tian looked at these things in his hand, and said secretly in his heart at the moment: "I just exchanged these things for a dozen pills, but I have already earned a lot." Although there aren't too many of these 'Spirit Beads', it's enough for me to get through the Qi cultivation period. ”

The stele spirit also mentioned to Xiang Tian that there were many secrets of the town boundary monument that had not been discovered by the latter, because the current strength was too low, and the town boundary monument could not give it much help.

Therefore, as the owner of the town boundary monument, the stage of the Qi cultivation period can be described as long and dangerous, if there are really dozens of intelligent puppets like Xiang Tian's hands at the peak of the Qi training period, then the external danger on the path of cultivation in the future will be much reduced.

After Xiang Tian made up his mind, he nodded immediately and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then it's changed." ”

After that, Xiang Tian took out a large amount of thousand-year-old elixir, and the monk surnamed Ku didn't say a word, and directly took out a lot of "Spirit Beads" in exchange.

Since the two of them have finished trading, there is naturally no need to stay any longer, and then the two chatted a few more words, and then returned to the original place.

"Haha! It seems that the two of you have successfully traded! Luo Mou congratulated him first. Luo Yiyi saw Xiang Tian and the others walking back all the way, although he wanted to know what the two of them were trading, he didn't dare to ask more, just said politely.

These two are both rich people, and Luo Yi doesn't dare to provoke them, if the other party is indifferent to the business here because of some unwise actions, it will be a big loss.

"There's nothing to congratulate or not congratulate, since the things my brother and sister have already gotten, then I won't bother and leave. When the monk returned to the back hall, his face changed back to his previous appearance. I saw that he quickly said hello to Luo Yi and Xiang Tian, and he was about to pull the young female cultivator in the fiery red robe away.

"Brother Xiang, this is the emblem of my clan, if I still have a chance to meet Brother Xiang, Brother Xiang can use his mana to urge this thing, and I will know when the time comes. The monk surnamed Ku seemed to think of something, and suddenly took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Xiang Tian.

"Ku Daoyou, hehe, I should call you Ku Fairy. If it is the day when you and I meet again in the future, I hope that the fairy can show his true face. Xiang Tian chuckled lightly, and suddenly said.

The body of the "big man surnamed Ku" stiffened suddenly, and then he turned around like a whirlwind, staring at Xiang Tian with a strange expression. Xiang Tian smiled at this and nodded.

"I didn't expect Brother Xiang to be very human, but Ku Mou looked away, hahaha, say goodbye!" The "big man surnamed Ku" stared at Xiang Tian for a long time, looked at the latter carefully, and then laughed.

"Take care!" Xiang Tian arched his hand, his expression still the same. Only Xiang Tian himself knows that the meaning of the two words of farewell of this woman dressed as a man is very different.

After these two monks left from Luo Yi, I don't know if it was tacitly because of it, whether it was Xiang Tian who stayed behind or Luo Yi who had been here, the two of them did not mention the topic of the transaction just now in their later words.

After chatting about some other things and tasting the high-grade spiritual tea brewed by Luo Yi, Xiang Tian and the others got up to say goodbye and left this place.

After coming out of Luo Yi, Xiang Tian did not return to the sect directly, but plunged into the Fang market.

Xiang Tian first went to a shop with a good reputation, bought a lot of talisman pills, and some elixir seeds with five element attributes, and then left here quietly.

After returning to the sect this time, I am afraid that it will be a few years before I come back. During this period of time, in addition to refining the little Five Elements Pill, he should also handle other things properly.
