Chapter 197 Research on Puppetry

In the past, Chen Yan relied on his puppet skills to prosper in Chiyanfang City. He sold many puppets and made a fortune.

He even used this opportunity to connect with the inner disciples of the Yunshui Sect, form a Tongzhou Alliance, and save enough spiritual stones to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill.

In fact, puppetry can be regarded as a branch of the weapon refining path.

Most puppet masters are weapon refiners and cannot refine weapons. How can they refine the many parts that assemble a puppet?

Some weapon refining masters started from the puppet technique and entered the door of weapon refining step by step.

Chu Chen planned to first understand the puppetry book in his hand, lay a foundation, and then find a way to obtain the weapon refining inheritance and become a weapon refining master.

"Among the four arts including Dan array, talismans and weapons, I have only mastered the weapon refining. It is time to put it on the agenda. When I become a master of weapon refining, I may be able to practice the Qingtian Spiritual Mirror again and cast it into a magic weapon."

Chu Chen made up his mind to return to Yunshui Sect in the future, and when he redeemed the formation inheritance, he would also redeem the weapon refining inheritance.

The subsequent inheritance of the talisman must also not be left behind.

after all.

He is someone who wants to inspire himself to become an alchemy master, a formation mage, a top talisman master, and a weapon refining master.

For ordinary monks, their lifespan is limited and they can only choose to learn one or two immortal cultivation skills.

Chu Chen has no worries in this regard. The years are long and he has plenty of time to upgrade these four immortal cultivation skills to a very high level and become a hexagonal monk.

"The path to master weapon refining begins with the art of puppetry."

Chu Chen took out the book recording the puppet technique and began to study it.

As he deepened his research on puppetry, he discovered that the four arts of the Dan Formation and Talisman Artifacts had something in common, or the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, all of which were the use of the spiritual patterns of heaven and earth.

If it is used for making alchemy, it is the elixir pattern, if it is used for formation, it is the formation pattern, and if it is used for drawing talismans, it is the rune pattern.

If it is used for refining weapons, it is prohibited for magical weapons.

"Being proficient in one skill, and then understanding other immortal cultivation skills has the effect of drawing parallels."

Chu Chen has mastered the four skills of alchemy arrays and talismans, and the skill with the deepest mastery is undoubtedly alchemy.

He can refine second-grade low-level elixirs such as Heqi Pills, and is considered a second-grade low-level alchemist.

With the level of a second-grade low-level alchemist, he could study the puppet technique and get twice the result with half the effort.

certainly.

It is limited to the low-level stage. As the puppetry skills improve, this help will be gradually smoothed out. After all, there is still a big difference between the alchemy array, talismans and other immortal cultivation arts.

Two months later, Chu Chen successfully refined a first-grade low-level puppet, and was able to learn the art of puppetry.

The practice of puppetry was then on the right track.

…

Crescent Island.

early morning.

The mist has not yet dissipated, but the residents of Chengyue Town have already woken up and are busy.

Or go fishing in the sea, or work in farming, or weave fishing nets, etc.

Chengyue Town is located at the corner of Crescent Island, adjacent to the water area, and has opened up a large amount of farmland. It has always adopted a system that combines fishery and agriculture to support hundreds of households in the town.

"Hey! Ha!"

In the north of the town, there is a huge martial arts training ground.

A group of teenagers are doing morning exercises. Each one is strong and powerful, punching and kicking, showing a strong foundation in martial arts. There are many skin refining realm warriors.

Compared with places like Dayan Kingdom, there are more warriors in Chengyue Town.

The concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Canglan Sea is higher than that of Great Yan Kingdom and other places. Being nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the probability of giving birth to a powerful martial artist is higher.

"stop!"

On the high platform of the martial arts training ground, a nine-foot-tall middle-aged man suddenly shouted loudly.

As soon as the words fell, many children couldn't help but stop their movements and look towards the high platform.

"Today is the spirit testing conference on Pear Blossom Island. You will come up one by one to test your spiritual roots."

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

The children responded loudly, their eyes full of expectation and desire.

Every year the Spiritual Testing Conference is an opportunity, an opportunity to step into the path of immortality.

If you can detect your spiritual roots and draw Qi into your body, you can reach heaven in one step and have a chance to become an immortal cultivator.

"Immortal Yue Ran, the children are ready. When will the spirit testing conference start?"

The middle-aged man looked at the young man wearing a green robe and bowed respectfully.

"Uncle Lu, you don't have to be like this. There is a blood relationship between you and me."

The young man smiled gently, indicating that the middle-aged man did not need to be so respectful.

This young man is the guarding monk of Chengyue Town, Zheng Yueran.

Born in Chengyue Town, after his spiritual root was detected, due to his weak spiritual talent, he has been practicing with the previous guard monk, and now he takes over the post of guard monk.

"There is a difference between immortals and mortals. You are now the chief immortal, and your etiquette cannot be discarded."

The middle-aged man looked serious and did not dare to do anything beyond etiquette.

"That's all, it's up to you, let the first child come up."

Zheng Yueran smiled helplessly.

As he spoke, he took out a one-foot-tall obelisk from his arms with ten scales on it.

This object is called a spirit-testing stone and is used to test spiritual root qualifications.

A child walked up to the high platform, and at the gesture of the middle-aged man, he put his hand on the spiritual stone.

I saw a faint five-color shimmer on the spirit-detecting stone, barely filling the first scale.

"The mixed spiritual roots of the five elements can enter the Crescent Moon Taoist Temple."

Zheng Yueran glanced at it, his expression unchanged.

This qualification can be said to be extremely poor, and it will be difficult to achieve anything in the future, but in the end, with the spiritual root qualifications, it is better than most people, and it is qualified to embark on the path of cultivating immortals.

You cannot enter Lihua Island, but you can enter the Crescent Taoist Temple on Crescent Island.

For example, his spiritual root qualifications are only slightly better than this child's.

"yeah!"

When the child heard Zheng Yueran's words, he clenched his fists and jumped up excitedly.

Even the middle-aged man beside him couldn't help but flash a trace of envy in his eyes when he saw this scene.

Next, one by one, the children stepped onto the high platform to test their spiritual root qualifications.

Some were happy and some were sad.

Soon.

The spiritual test conference ended, and the only child who was finally tested for spiritual root qualifications was the one at the beginning.

The children dispersed dejectedly, and the child who was tested for spiritual root qualifications was also asked by Zheng Yueran to return home and deal with family affairs.

"Uncle Lu, after this child has dealt with the trivial matters at home, please send him to the Taoist temple."

After explaining everything, Zheng Yueran left.

However, he did not return to the Crescent Taoist Temple, but went to the center of Crescent Island.

After arriving at a hilltop on Crescent Island, he let out a long whistle and waited quietly.

"Kacha~"

After a while, a black shadow flew over from a distance.

The black shadow came close in an instant. It was a bird-shaped mechanical puppet, like a goshawk, exuding a strong breath, which made Zheng Yueran's heart tremble.

He had no doubt about the ability of this goshawk puppet to kill him again.

This was a first-grade high-level puppet, with a combat power of at least above the seventh level of Qi training, while he was only at the sixth level of Qi training.

"Senior, all the information you asked me to collect is here."

Under the gaze of the red eyes of the goshawk puppet, Zheng Yueran quickly took out a jade slip and presented it with both hands.

"Well done, this is your reward."

The goshawk puppet made a human voice, and a small hole suddenly opened in its abdomen, from which a medium-grade spirit stone fell.

"Thank you, senior."

Zheng Yueran's eyes lit up.

The value of a medium-grade spirit stone, to him, far exceeded a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Huh!

The goshawk puppet grabbed the jade slip, vibrated its wings, and quickly flew away and disappeared.
