"What? You said that there were thieves in your house, and then the master of the courtyard Xie comforted you with ten bottles of elixir and a thousand spirit money?" Wei Tianchong's jaw was about to fall to the ground.

"yes. I didn't expect that Master Xie would be such a good person, he really cares about his students, and it is also my luck to meet such a good teacher. Tang Zai replied with a sigh.

"Hey!" Wei Tian cried out as he beat his chest, "Why don't the thieves enter my house?"

Ten bottles of elixir, one thousand spirit money, even if you want the Wei family to give this resource, it will hurt!

"What do you have to steal here?" said Tang Zai pouting.

"Do you have something worth stealing?" Wei Tian was furious.

"At least some vegetables were grown. ”

"Who is such an idiot to steal vegetables!" Wei Tianchong was about to go crazy.

"Be careful when you speak, your words can offend a large number of people. Tang Zheng muttered softly, and by the way, he grabbed a handful of spirit money and handed it to Wei Tianchong.

Wei Tianchong was overjoyed: "This is what you share with me?"

"No, this is what I pay you back. Tang Zai replied with a grin.

Wei Tianchong's face immediately drooped, he snorted, took the spirit money, counted it repeatedly, and found that there were a few more, so he nodded with satisfaction: "It's still your kid acquaintance." ”

Tang Zheng couldn't cry or laugh: "Young master, you are a young master, and you have a lot of wealth, as for being so happy for this money." ”

"Alas, if you don't cultivate immortals, you don't know how money is useless. Wei Tianchong sighed: "What about my Wei family's big business? This bottle of medicine can easily cost hundreds or thousands of spiritual money, which is really too expensive, who can afford it." Aren't you saying that it is not a furnace for refining alchemy? Why is it so expensive? Is it not possible to use all the natural materials and treasures?"

Tang Zai said with a smile: "Young Master doesn't know, the reason why this pill is expensive is not actually a problem of materials, but mainly because of the cost of manpower. Immortals and mortals are different after all, in the eyes of mortals, a spirit coin is a few taels of silver, it is a lot of money. But in the eyes of the immortals, it is about the same as the value of a copper coin, and the spirit jade is equivalent to the value of silver. Therefore, if a cultivator does anything, it is all calculated in the basic unit of spiritual money. Offering immortals with the power of mortals is like using the income from servants to provide for the young master's life, after all, there is no comparison. ”

"That's it. Wei Tianchong muttered, he also understood this truth, but he has always been accustomed to relying on his family, and he is also accustomed to the value of money in the eyes of mortals, so that all this in front of him is extremely expensive.

If you look at spiritual money as copper coins, then hundreds or thousands of spiritual coins are really like that.

It is precisely because of this that Xie Fengtang will make a move with ten bottles of elixir and one thousand spirit money.

For him, this is really not a big deal, and considering what he is planning, this is too small and too small.

"So we will have to make money on our own in the end. Tang Zheng has persuaded.

"That's what I said, but I'm going to have a spiritual induction technique now, what can I earn. Wei Tianchong said helplessly.

"Puppets, of course. Tang Zai smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the little young master's carving skills are almost the same, right? As long as you can make a decent puppet, whether you sell it or use it, it is wealth. ”

"But the puppet needs refining arrays and materials?"

"Refining the formation is simple, the young master can learn it by himself first, and even if he can't, he can ask the senior brother who understands the formation path to help. As for the materials, just buy some and make them, isn't this what the young master is best at now?"

The biggest feature of puppetry in the immortal cultivation world is that its own strength has nothing to do with the immortal cultivator itself.

As long as there are enough materials, supplemented by a suitable refining array, an immortal cultivator can completely have a powerful puppet that surpasses his own strength and become the most loyal and reliable bodyguard.

Therefore, puppetrying is actually a fairly practical option for academy students, at least in the early days, and it is of great value. It's just that it involves too many categories, and the wealth base required is too large, and not everyone can afford it, so there are not many people who are enthusiastic about it.

But in Tang Zheng's opinion, the two most important skills of the puppet: carving and refining the array, he and Wei Tianchong have already solved it, and the rest is only a matter of money.

It is precisely that Wei Tianchong also has the ability to meet this condition.

"That's right. Wei Tianchong touched his chin: "Okay, just do as you say, it just so happens that my mother just sent me some silver a few days ago, so let's use it for this." ”

"That's it, and then, let's go and buy it. ”

Just do it, and the three of them went to the shop.

For Wei Tianchong, since he wants to do it, he naturally has to do a good job.

He was eager to use top-notch spiritual materials such as mica essence gold to create a powerful and peerless war puppet, so his eyes glanced at that good thing.

I was just shocked when I saw the price of those materials.

"Obediently, why does this fist-sized piece of turquoise cost 200 yuan? That hundred-year-old paulownia wood costs 500 yuan? This is too expensive, right?"

Walking in the shop, looking left and right, Wei Tianchong only felt that anything was ridiculously expensive, grabbed Tang Zai's hand and said, "It's amazing, Tang Zao, these things are too expensive." I just calculated, do you know how much it will cost me to be a puppet? 80,000 ah! 80,000 spirit money!"

Tang Zai smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Little master, who let you see those, your eyes are full of good things, naturally you can't afford them." ”

"Not really. Wei Tianchong felt quite aggrieved: "I just plan to be a puppet of about three grades......"

"Sanpin?" Tang Zheng was so angry that he wanted to laugh.

Puppets in the world of cultivating immortals are also divided according to mortal products, spiritual products, and immortal products, and all products are not equal, that is, they have long been made of ordinary materials, and they can be activated after the refining array, such as in the Wei Mansion, the tiger made by Wei Tianchong can be a puppet after being activated with the refining array, but because it is made of mortal wood, the combat power is extremely low, and it is a mortal product, and there is no equal.

And the spiritual product is divided into nine grades, and the nine grades are the highest, and the strength is directly chasing Sendai.

The three products that Wei Tianchong said are equivalent to the existence of the Mortal Realm.

Hearing that Wei Tianchong wanted to be a third-grade war puppet, Tang Zheng could only shake his head helplessly and said, "Three-grade ...... You don't have a big appetite!"

Wei Tianchong was embarrassed by what he said, and scratched his head: "Isn't it that the biggest benefit of a puppet is that it can surpass the refiner, so ......?"

"So you're aiming at the Extraordinary Realm?" Tang Zheng couldn't help laughing: "Little Master, be down-to-earth, let's just start, start with a product, and a cheaper two or three thousand is enough." If it's done well, it can also be used as a Spirit Lake Level. ”

Hearing that it cost two thousand spirit money to only "hire" a Linghu level helper, Wei Tianchong was unwilling, but he could only nod.

Tang Zai took him around the shop, and finally came to a student's bunk, pointed to a piece of burnt wood and said, "How can I sell this wood, senior brother?"

The senior brother looked at Tang Zheng and said, "Eight hundred dollars." ”

Tang Zheng shook his head: "It's expensive." ”

The student immediately snorted: "You kid is really ignorant, I am a thunder wood, after being bombarded by the thunder, I absorbed a trace of thunder and lightning power, if it is used to make a war puppet, it is born with a thunder and lightning attack, and the end is extremely powerful." ”

Tang Zheng said with a smile: "It's true that the thunder wood is here, but it also depends on what kind of wood it is." All wood is sexless, and it cannot absorb the power of thunder and lightning, but only spiritual wood. Even if it is a spirit wood, there are advantages and disadvantages; it depends on what attributes, the one who is born with the attributes is the best, if it is the one who is restrained by the attributes, it is worse; it also depends on what kind of thunder; the most stubborn also depends on how it is split, the reason why the thunder wood is valuable is because it absorbs the attributes of thunder and lightning, but it doesn't mean that the worse it is, the better......"

Saying that, he pointed to the thunder wood and said: "This thunder wood should be a hundred-year-old water shirt, which is not a good tree in itself, and was struck by lightning, and half of it was split, and it can be used about the following part, which is too small to be the main trunk, and too much to do the rest, eight hundred yuan...... It's really not worth it. ”

The student was stunned by his words, and looked at Tang Zheng in surprise: "You can actually see so much?"

"Reading more books is beneficial. Tang Zai said lightly, and raised a slap as he spoke: "Three hundred." ”

"It's a bit cheaper. The student shook his head again and again.

The two bargained, and finally fell on the price of five hundred.

Wei Tianchong felt strange when he held the wood, and asked Tang Zheng: "Didn't you say that this thunder wood is too small to be the main trunk, why do you still want to buy it?"

Tang Zheng replied with a smile: "It's too small to be the backbone, that refers to a war puppet equal to a person, but what if it's not so big?"

"Huh?" Wei Tianchong was stunned: "Don't be a humanoid war puppet?"

"That's right, why do you have to be human?" Tang Zheng asked rhetorically, "The strength of the puppet depends on the material, not on the size. However, the cost of making a puppet is often related to the size, and the more materials used, the higher the cost. In that case, why should we not be small and fine?"

Hearing this, Wei Tianchong suddenly brightened up and said with great joy: "You are right!"

Then he reacted: "It's not right!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's too small to carve into a formation. ”

If the material is the flesh and blood of the puppet, then the refining array is the soul of the puppet, and these souls must be engraved on the puppet through complex techniques in order to play a unique role. The smaller the volume, the more difficult it is to engrave, after all, there is only a limited space for carving.

In fact, the grade of the puppet depends on the grade of the refining array.

The higher the refining array grade, the higher the puppet grade.

The grade of the refining array depends on the material, and the better the material, the better the refining array that can be used.

The cost of materials determines the size of the puppet, and the size of the puppet is directly related to the amount of refining array - under the interaction, the strength of the puppet changes are also significantly different.

Therefore, it is also a first-class puppet, which can be completed with two or three thousand spirit money, or it can be made by spending seventy or eighty thousand.

According to the meaning of Tang Zheng, it is to be small and fine first, make a product first, and then consider the rest later.

Hearing Wei Tianchong say this at this moment, Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Then find a formation master with better skills." ”

"Won't it work so well?" Wei Tianchong asked suspiciously.

Tang Zheng said: "Leave this matter to me, I promise that the completed puppet will satisfy you!"

—————————————

After searching around the market and buying the materials needed to make a puppet, Wei Tianchong went back to make a puppet first.

The real puppet production is also quite troublesome, carving is only the basic, before the production must first conceive what kind of puppet is needed, what kind of function it has, so that it can be arranged step by step.

Xiang Wei Tianchong didn't know what to do, so he bought materials first, which was a manifestation of a layman, but fortunately, Tang Zheng had already helped him plan everything, so he didn't have to worry about it.

With getting along all the way, Tang Zheng, a servant student, has now gradually focused on Wei Tianchong's cultivation, but all kinds of things in life have basically been handed over to Shi Meng. Despite his reluctance, Shimeng could only accept his fate, otherwise he would not be able to learn the art of cleansing.

sent Wei Tian back, and Tang Zheng also returned to Tao Ranju.

Different from the past, as soon as I stepped into Tao Ranju, I saw that the surrounding wind and clouds suddenly changed, the original hut disappeared without a trace, and the road became accessible in all directions, and I don't know where it leads, and countless black clouds shrouded in the sky, and the lightning jumps faintly, and the light points straight down.

However, after the light shone on the score plate on Tang Zheng's body, the wind and clouds disappeared without a trace.

This is exactly the chain of arrays that Xie Fengtang had set up here before, which are responsible for psychedelics, blocking, attacking, and warnings.

When entering this formation, you will only fall into the maze first, which is also a setting to prevent students from entering it by mistake and encountering accidents. Only after an attack on the maze will the follow-up formation be activated. At that time, the large array will be fully activated at once, blocking the incoming enemy, and at the same time warning the academy.

"This formation is well arranged, it has a triggering effect, and I must study it carefully when I have time. Walking through the big array, Tang Zheng said to himself.

Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to study a well-laid formation.

But as the target of this big array of protection, no one will hurt him in this array, so he naturally studies it as much as he wants.

But before that, he had to be busy with another thing.

Opening the package, Tang Zao took out some things, which were the materials he bought when he was shopping with Wei Tianchong before.

When Wei Tianchong bought materials, Tang Zheng also bought some by the way, but it was hidden in the process of helping Wei Tianchong buy them, and no one paid attention to them. Wei Tianchong asked him, and he only said that he would only say that he would need the materials he would use when refining the formation in the future.

It is indeed the material needed for the formation, but it is not a refining formation, but a formation.
