Chapter 466: Preparation for Retreat, Changes in the Middle

Jiuyun City, City Lord's Mansion.

"We obey your orders!"

Du En, who returned with a group of people, continued to occupy the magpie's nest. As a matter of course, he summoned the heads and managers of various aspects of the mansion and quickly arranged many things.

No one spoke much, no one had any opinions, even if there were any complaints, they could only complain in their hearts.

Then, the City Lord's Mansion began to enter a state, loose outside and tight inside, observing the inside and outside of the city.

As for receiving those people who were said to have clues and came here to ask for rewards, it was "himself" who was responsible.

To be precise, it was Sheng Zhaoshui.

"I still have puppets and magic tools to refine, and Fellow Daoist An still needs to fully master the treasure formation. Now it seems that only Senior Brother Sheng seems to be free, and you also arrived as the vanguard. You know everything about Qingxuan and are not afraid of being fooled, so it is most appropriate to hand it over to you."

Faced with Du En's calm and matter-of-fact words that seemed unquestionable, Sheng Zhaoshui was speechless for a moment. He just wanted to say that you know how to call me Senior Brother now, right?

In short, this matter was settled.

Sheng Zhaoshui replaced Du En to pretend to be Master Jiuyun, responsible for receiving and distinguishing the rewards, and temporarily supervised the internal and external affairs of the City Lord's Mansion.

The other one person and one god each found a place to retreat.

To be honest, the old guards felt very relaxed all of a sudden.

Because Sheng Zhaoshui didn't pretend to be very good, his eyes and tone always had a hint of casualness, which didn't put too much pressure on people.

In contrast, Zhu Qing became uneasy.

In short, he actually tasted a hint of unreliability from a person who was originally very reliable and could make him feel at ease. Therefore, although he did not act rashly and leave the City Lord's Mansion without permission, he could not help but always wander around the edge of the door, thinking that maybe he would be lucky enough to hear about his sister's whereabouts one day.

Du En actually saw all this. After all, although the divine consciousness often leaks, it will not leak all the time. Under normal circumstances, it is still very useful.

Seeing that he didn't need to care too much, he put away the spiritual resentment crystal again.

That's right, in the first part of this retreat, he took out this weird crystal again, observing and thinking, and seemed a little moved.

In short, he had some sudden whims and wanted to bury it in the magical dead land to see if he could solve the future troubles and even get some unexpected benefits from it.

Yes, future troubles.

When he eliminated the resentful spirit carrying the monument, he relied on the cause and effect fate brought by the magical power to realize that he had been entangled with something inexplicable without knowing it.

That was not something that had just appeared, but had existed for a long time. As he eliminated the ghost who was carrying the monument, it became more and more obvious, and a wave of ripples was finally noticed by him now.

"Unconsciously involved and entangled, burying the dead and resurrecting the living can not be eliminated, or is it actually brought about by this magical power and this principle? If so, there is no big surprise, after all, this magical power was originally obtained from the Supreme's handwriting..."

He calmly thought about the situation that began to surface. Although it is not completely certain now, he still thought of such a solution of fighting poison with poison.

It's just that with his current conditions, it is not suitable for execution.

So Du En took back the crystal of the ghost.

He also took back most of his attention from the outside world and turned to focus on other matters of this retreat.

The refining of puppets.

The refining of magic tools.

And, the transformation of Taoism.

Now that the preliminary investigation has confirmed that the general environment is still acceptable, there is still some time before the integration and intersection of the table, and they do need to prepare for the war, then naturally, they must make full use of this time.

So, he started in an intensive and orderly manner.

First, he refined the puppets. Now he had to solve the problem of the resentful spirits, and this amount of work must not be lacking.

Since the venue of the City Lord's Mansion was actually somewhat limited, he simply moved to Kongsang Mountain to start.

It is worth mentioning that although this blessed land will theoretically be affected by the space environment of the Qingxuan Star Realm, for some reason, there is actually no effect. It just stripped off the original landing point and became a state similar to floating with him, being pulled by him.

In short, there is no problem. This retreat can also add a few more "traction lines".

With the completion of the preliminary preparations, the divine fire began to burn in the blessed land, and the flames illuminated it day and night.

As time passed, the pile of materials given by Chengru Zhenjun was reduced at a visible speed, and at the same time, his proficiency in puppet making was also starting to rise.

Half a month passed quickly.

[Hundred Arts: Puppet Making (Master 30/500)]

Three hundred sixth-level combat puppets were freshly produced, and even those that were intended to be used as fillers were melted and dismantled again and put into this place.

"It's a bit unexpectedly wasteful of materials..."

He originally expected to make a thousand puppets, but now he has put half a mountain of materials in, and only made three hundred combat puppets. This situation is a bit beyond his expectations.

But there is actually no way to do this. If you want to form a strong suppression on those ghosts carrying the monument, you can't rely on ordinary sixth-level low-quality puppets.

Because although the sixth level corresponds to the stage of refining the void, those resentful spirits who bear the monument are equivalent to the powerful existences of weak geniuses who have perfected their transformation into gods, while ordinary sixth-level things are basically equivalent to the ordinary genius refining the void.

Although there are advantages of realm level, due to the increase or decrease in talent matching, it can only barely match, and it is estimated that it will be about 50 to 50 to 4 to 60 to 60.

Therefore, Du En could only pile up materials and pile the puppets to at least the sixth-level mid-level, not the ordinary sixth-level mid-level. They must have the same combat power as a powerful genius in the middle stage of Void Refining, so as to ensure accuracy.

"If there are three hundred, it's actually barely enough."

After Du En inspected his new puppet army, he was quite satisfied.

Next is the weapon refining.

Another half month later.

[Hundred Arts: Weapon Refining (Master 200/500)] He consumed 90% of the remaining half of the material mountain and produced two thousand sixth-level magic weapons.

It is not a magical weapon with any expectations like the Mirror Armor, but is used as the backbone of the weapon. It will never hesitate when it is time to self-destruct, and it can be used as a quick-refined product for the penetration part.

As for the main body of the self-destruction, they are of course the fifth-level top-quality magic weapons provided by Tumu Shenglian. They are completely piled up, occupying seven days and seven nights in half a month, and there are a million piles. At this time, they are inserted everywhere. Let the entire Kongsang Mountain seem to turn into a sword mountain.

"With these magic weapons, it should be barely enough."

Facing the ordinary sea of ​​resentful spirits, it is actually not necessary to directly self-destruct. It is enough to use the royal weapon as the main damage. Although the resentful spirits appear to be endless, there are millions of them as spiral wings, which can be turned into one to make them invincible. The spirit-twisting machine!

Even if these wings will be damaged, they will still self-destruct when it is time to self-destruct. However, he can replace and update these fifth-level top-quality magic weapons on the spot. He does not have to worry about them being used up. He is afraid that the sea of ​​resentful spirits is not enough for him. Consumption.

"But there are millions of magic weapons. If you want to control them perfectly at the same time, it already seems a bit powerless for the current Tumu Holy Refiner. What's more, you have to be distracted to control the puppets. The sixth-level middle-grade ones are also very difficult for me. A small burden…”

This is a fly in the ointment.

But since Du En is so prepared, he naturally has his own solution.

Bridge control!

When refining those sixth-level magic weapons, some puppet-making methods have been added, and the puppet-manipulation techniques have been adjusted and added to the methods of controlling the weapons. In this way, using those sixth-level magic weapons as a transit bridge can alleviate the problem. With a burden of 30% to 40%, he can perfectly and easily control a million-level magic weapon of the same level!

"Speaking of it, although the Ancient Puppet Sect seems outdated, their superb puppet manipulation skills are not without their merits. This part is not limited to the number of puppets and only depends on the strength of spiritual consciousness and mana control. It is really suitable for me."

His consciousness is extraordinary and his magic power is endless. After applying it, as long as one side is not cut off and interfered with, he can easily control millions of puppets of the same level, and as the hard basic strength increases, it will continue to increase. Repeat...

"Stop before the integration stage, because after that it is the domain of the genius, and the same is true for all kinds of counterpoints, such as puppets. It is estimated that just one seventh-level puppet can be compared to at least ten thousand sixth-level puppets. In terms of burden, Consumption will naturally increase at the same time, or even more than at the same time. "

In fact, even now, there are still some minor problems with the control of the sixth-order puppets.

Controlling a million magical weapons on one side and 300 puppets on the other, consuming 90% of his energy. If the battle really started, he would appear to be standing still and not have enough room to spare.

Du En made a clear judgment, so, having just finished lamenting that the best puppeteering technique had merits, he changed it in the blink of an eye.

To be precise, it is a transfer of further education.

"God's Machine Manipulating Puppet"

The secret technique of puppet manipulation that Meng Changqing asked for for him was comparable to Xuanpin Taoism at the beginning. According to the description, when it reaches the deepest level, it can be said to be unpredictable and traceless. It can easily control all kinds of things and control all phenomena. All treated as puppets.

"Could this secret technique be created by Zhenru Zhenru and then use me as a guinea pig?"

After Du En carefully looked at this secret method, he couldn't help but become suspicious.

Just as Zhenjun was very keen on creating new methods in order to resist the Supreme Being, Sheng Zhaoshui's novel skills and techniques were filled with the taste of a lab rat from the inside out.

Now this special secret method that was blackmailed by Meng Changqing is indeed very wonderful at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it is obviously specious, and it is completely opposite to the ancient puppet sect.

Although the puppet sect basically declared a backward era after the main body was wiped out by the Xianlin Immortal Sect, to be honest, the foundation of the puppet sect has still been followed, and it is actually difficult to change.

Then he was changed by Chengru Zhenjun.

"It's really a drastic move. If I hadn't already perfected the Earth and Wood Sacred Technique, I could easily control nearly a million magic weapons at the same time, and if I hadn't already perfected the ultimate puppet manipulation skill, I could easily control millions of puppets. It’s really impossible to learn this secret technique in a short time.”

Du En didn't hesitate and immediately devoted himself to training.

After all, there are traces of Meng Changqing's proofreading, and half of them have been modified twice. I guess even if there are any hidden holes, it won't be a problem.

And he doesn't have to rush to complete it. When he reaches the stage of refining the void and combining it, he can make changes according to the actual situation.

Anyway, switch to another major.

It took eight days and the transfer was successful without any difficulty.

[Spell: Divine machine manipulation (first glimpse of the door 0/20)]

"I've only just begun to see the way. As expected, the gap becomes more obvious as time goes by. Even if you have a foundation, you can't achieve a small achievement directly. Fortunately, the conditions for practicing this secret method are very ordinary, but there are more objects to control."

Du En tried it briefly and felt that it was acceptable.

If he used it to manipulate puppets, he could reduce the original 90% to 70%.

The remaining 30% of strength is enough for him to advance and retreat calmly in the battle!

Then, he was busy and started to practice the other four Taoist methods and one secret method.

But at this time, he seemed to notice something and flashed outside Kongsang Mountain and closed the secret room.

There was a very subtle change in the situation in Jiuyun City, which forced him to come out of seclusion to take a look.

Fortunately, the remaining Taoist method was just the icing on the cake. The key preparations have actually been done. Even if there is any accident at the moment, it will not have a substantial impact if the action is to be carried out immediately!

Thinking of this, he left the secret room and came to the east gate of the city lord's mansion.

The corpse hanging on the archway outside the gate had long been taken down, and replaced by a platform set up downstairs, which was specially used to receive those who came from afar and wanted to ask for rewards with clues.

There is such a platform at each of the four gates. In the past month, Sheng Zhaoshui has done a good job, except that he likes to sneak in here to drink a little wine, as if this place is a place of love.

Unfortunately, although there are many people who come to ask for rewards, there is not a single valuable clue!

It's as if he knew that the three of them were shrinking and not moving, so everything calmed down, unlike before, when Du En and the other two came, things that had not progressed immediately had a clue.

No wonder An Shen felt that the actions of him and others were just puppet shows on the stage.

"So, now the next scene of this play has been prepared and brewed, and we puppet actors need to appear again?"

This is what Du En thought in his heart at the moment.

And his appearance, because he was not covered, also startled the guards who were secretly guarding the door.

"Your Excellency, what do you want me to do?"

When the old guard saw Du En and met his calm eyes, his heart skipped a beat and he secretly thought that it was not good.

Based on Sheng Zhaoshui's careless look, the guards had long realized that he was neither Du En nor Master Jiuyun. Of course, he could be Master Jiuyun. After all, they were all serving the great monks, so anyone could be Master Jiuyun.
