Chapter 67: What You Wish For
Originally, the task of finding the descendants of Feng Laogui was in the charge of Xu Ziyan, the captain of the 11th Guards. However, Xu Ziyan sent several Feiyun Guards to search for Feng Laogui in Guiyunfang for several months, but they could not find any descendants of Feng Laogui.
Song Qingming, Jia Sixing and others who were familiar with Feng Laogui in the 11th Guards were familiar with the old man, but no one knew the specific situation of his relatives and descendants. Xu Ziyan had no choice but to report the matter truthfully. She only learned not long ago that Feng Laogui's storage bag had been in the Merit Pavilion of Guiyunfang.
"That's true. Captain Xu, if you are willing to help me exchange this item, I will owe you a favor. No matter how much merit you spend, I can pay you spiritual stones directly at a 10% premium. I hope Captain Xu can help me. Qingming will be grateful."
Xu Ziyan nodded gently, and then said softly: "We have been friends for several years. I will naturally not refuse to help you.
But you also know that the spiritual objects in the Merit Pavilion need to be exchanged with their own merits and good deeds. Although I have saved some merits in the past few years, I don't know if it is enough to exchange for this spiritual object. Now I can only say that I will do my best."
"That's natural. If I can't successfully exchange for this puppet beast this time, it can only be said that I have no chance to get this thing. I will go to Bailongshan Market again if I have a chance." Song Qingming said calmly.
Seeing that Xu Ziyan agreed to help very readily, Song Qingming also put aside a trace of worry in his heart. With her help, the chances of success would be greatly increased.
Ever since he saw the power of Feng Laogui's Thunder Tiger Puppet Beast, Song Qingming has always been very envious. Now that he has a chance to get this thing, he is naturally very concerned about it and does not hesitate to lower his face to ask Xu Ziyan.
The value of this puppet beast on the market is equivalent to a top-grade magic weapon, but this kind of rare spiritual object is generally more popular as long as it appears. In order to get it this time, Song Qingming did not hesitate to ask Xu Ziyan for help. Not only did he have to spend more than a dozen spirit stones, but he also owed her a favor.
Even so, Song Qingming did not hesitate at all. As soon as he heard the news about the Thunder Tiger Puppet Beast, he rushed to Xu Ziyan without thinking too much.
As Song Qingming expected, the Thunder Tiger Puppet Beast had just appeared in the Merit Pavilion, and soon it had attracted the attention of many people. After some wealthy cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining learned about this news, they began to run around and ask for help to exchange this item in the Merit Pavilion.
The middle-grade puppet beast is not very helpful to the cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining. Generally, cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining will definitely not spend spirit stones to buy this item. As for those cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refining, it is not easy for them to obtain merits. It is difficult for them to exchange so many merits for this item at once. They can only spend more spirit stones like Song Qingming and entrust those cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining who have enough merits to help.
But what they didn't expect was that after finally finding someone willing to help, they found out in the Merit Pavilion that the Thunder Tiger Puppet Beast had already been exchanged by someone. They couldn't help but shake their heads and stamp their feet and sigh.
Half a day later, in the Feiyun Guard station, looking at the three-inch white tiger puppet in his hand, Song Qingming happily handed a bag of spirit stones to Xu Ziyan.
"Thank you for your help, Captain Xu. If you need me in the future, I will do my best to help you as long as I can."
Xu Ziyan nodded and smiled, took the spirit stone and put it in the storage bag, and soon said goodbye and left.
After Xu Ziyan left, Song Qingming returned to the house where he lived, took out the Thunder Tiger Puppet Beast, and began to study it.
It was also a coincidence that he got this puppet beast this time. If it weren't for the old man who was in charge of the Merit Pavilion who mentioned it to him, Song Qingming would naturally find it difficult to know the news of the Thunder Tiger Puppet Beast in advance, and he would not be able to ask Xu Ziyan to help him exchange it.
When Xu Ziyan arrived at the Merit Pavilion, this thing had just been placed on the third floor of the Merit Pavilion for less than a day, and not many people knew about the existence of this puppet beast. Seeing this Thunder Tiger Puppet Beast, it only required 110 points of merit. Xu Ziyan decisively helped Song Qingming exchange it. Afterwards, Song Qingming also gave Xu Ziyan ten more spirit stones as her hard work fee as agreed.
After getting the Thunder Tiger Puppet Beast, Song Qingming began to hide in the house to study and refine it. It was not until three days later that he walked out of his house with a smile on his face.
It took Song Qingming three consecutive days to successfully refine the Thunder Tiger Puppet Beast. In order to test how powerful the puppet beast could be after his own sacrifice, in order not to attract other people's attention, Song Qingming also deliberately walked out of Guiyunfang and found a secluded place around the market.
After installing the spirit stone on the puppet beast, Song Qingming shot out a spiritual light and released the Thunder Tiger Puppet Beast in his hand. After the puppet beast was in the air, it instantly turned into a ten-foot-long white tiger.
The white tiger puppet had a flash of spiritual light in its eyes, opened its mouth wide and sprayed a lightning light at a tree more than ten feet away. The lightning light flashed quickly and hit the tree in an instant.
There was only a loud bang, and a tree so big that it was difficult for two people to hug it creaked and fell to one side. There was a loud rumbling sound, which shook up a cloud of dust on the ground.
Seeing the thunder power of the Thunder Tiger Puppet Beast, it was almost the same as when he saw Feng Laogui operating it that day. Song Qingming collected the puppet beast on the ground with satisfaction.
If the cultivator operates this Thunder Tiger Puppet Beast properly, it is equivalent to having an ordinary helper of the fifth level of Qi Refining. With the help of this puppet beast, his current fighting ability is almost the same as that of Feng Laogui.
Now Song Qingming basically does not worry about not being able to fight against the same level of demon cultivators or monsters. Even if he faces those high-level monsters in the late stage of Qi Refining, even if he still can't beat them, he doesn't have to worry too much about getting away. With the help of this thing, his current fighting ability has instantly improved a lot.
Of course, puppet beasts also have some inherent defects. The core of the puppet beast is driven by spirit stones. Although his Thunder Tiger Puppet Beast is not of high grade, it also consumes a spirit stone for one hour of use. It is best not to use this thing normally, otherwise it is easy to use up the cultivator himself.
Secondly, using puppet beasts all the time also consumes one's spiritual consciousness. For people like Song Qingming who have not practiced special spiritual consciousness techniques, once they use puppet beasts for a long time, it is easy to over-consume his spiritual consciousness energy.
Once the spiritual consciousness is over-consumed, the cultivator will slowly fall into a coma, which can easily make him an unjustly killed cultivator when fighting on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, the techniques that can enhance the spiritual consciousness of cultivators are very rare in the world of immortal cultivation. The Song family has not collected such techniques in the two hundred years of accumulation. Even in the Guiyunfang Good Merit Pavilion with many techniques, Song Qingming has not found anything similar.
However, Song Qingming does not need to worry too much about this matter now. He can avoid this matter as long as he pays attention not to over-use puppet beasts in future battles.
Spending more than a hundred spirit stones to get this thunder tiger puppet beast is also the biggest gain for Song Qingming in Guiyunfang in the past two years.
For the next half a month, Song Qingming has been in the resident house, familiar with the use of puppet beasts, and basically did not go out.
Just one day before their eleven guards were about to set out on a mission again, captain Xu Ziyan came to Song Qingming unexpectedly.
