Chapter 148 Killing Formation

On Qingbo Island, Wei Zhong watched Ling Ziwei coming out of seclusion and greeted him with a smile:

"Has Ziwei thoroughly studied that formation?"

The latter also had a happy expression on his face:

"The puppet formation technique gifted by my husband is very clever, and it took Ziwei a long time. But is this puppet inheritance really gifted to my husband by the Yunji Chamber of Commerce?"

Wei Zhong chuckled:

"How can it be false? Your husband is a fourth-level alchemist, can't he bear this puppet inheritance?"

Wei Zhong hugged him into his arms, and the latter had a bit of shyness on his face:

"No, my husband is naturally very talented, but Ziwei is a little uncomfortable with it. After all, it is such a profound inherited technique."

After Ling Ziwei understood some of the formations, she knew that this was a fifth-level inheritance. The formations recorded in it were up to the fifth-level level and could withstand the power of the Transformation God monks.

So naturally he was surprised that Yunji Chamber of Commerce presented such inheritance.

"Inheritance is dead, it still needs people to understand it."

As early as a few years ago when he received the inheritance of "Shen Yin Jue", Wei Zhong gave Ling Ziwei a copy of the formation.

Now after all these years, it has finally yielded results.

"Most of the formations described in this inheritance rely on the puppets in the formation. Is your husband confident in refining the puppets now?"

Wei Zhong flicked his sleeves and took out several humanoid puppets that he had refined previously.

"These are the second-level puppets I refined at random. The third-level puppets are rare, and I have only made one now, but it is not here."

Ling Ziwei stepped forward to take a closer look at the puppets in front of her, and couldn't help but marvel.

"This inheritance is indeed extraordinary. Even the refined puppet is much more sophisticated than what I have seen before," he looked back at Wei Zhong and added, "Of course, my husband's craftsmanship is better!"

Wei Zhong didn't care about the other party's praise and asked curiously:

"Are all the puppets sold in Luohe Mansion just junk?"

Wei Zhong moved here and spent most of his time practicing, and never paid attention to the unique skill of puppetry.

Ling Ziwei shook her head:

“I’m not familiar with puppets, maybe the emphasis is just different.

There are not many people in Luohe Mansion who are proficient in the art of puppets, most of them are at the first level, and the ones they refine are simple things used to help take care of the spiritual field.

There are second-level puppets passed down from Yunzhou City, but they are basically engraved with powerful spells and used as spell turrets.

Far less sophisticated than these, it looks like a melee type controlled by a monk. "

"Ziwei has good taste," Wei Zhong took out a token, "How about giving it a try?"

The latter curiously took the token, penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, and closed his eyes slightly.

Wei Zhong saw a puppet slowly moving under his control.

At first, he still moved lightly, but as he gradually became more proficient, he could run fast, and even take out the magic weapon left in the puppet's body, and wield a sword...

Wei Zhong saw in his eyes the surprise of the little girl getting her favorite toy.

He simply sat on the stone bench nearby, took out the spirit wine and waited slowly.

After waiting for a while, the other party was also familiar with the manipulation of puppets.

The puppet stopped, and Ling Ziwei returned the token to Wei Zhong without saying anything.

Wei Zhong waved his hand and motioned for him to take it into his hand:

"I have no use for this second-level puppet, so I will give it to you for your entertainment."

"real?"

Wei Zhong looked at the surprise in the other person's eyes and felt a little funny:

"Can I still lie to you? Keep it well, but this puppet does not have much combat power. I will wait for my husband to refine a third-level puppet for you in the future for personal protection."

Ling Ziwei took the token back into her hand:

"Such an exquisite puppet, I thought my husband would refine it into the formation."

Wei Zhong shook his head:

"This second-level puppet is useless. Even if it is refined into the formation, it will not make the Lingdao Formation a few percent stronger."

"It seems that your husband has already made plans to refine the puppet formation?" Ling Ziwei said upon seeing this.

Wei Zhong nodded:

"Just refine the Five Elements Soldier Killing Formation!"

······

Hu Jinchuan saw the big bird transformed into nine colors in the distance. He quickly approached it and said to Wei Zhong on it:

"I have met the island owner. Jinchuan made a mistake in transporting the elixir, and I ask the island owner to forgive me."

Wei Zhong waved his hand:

"You tried your best to protect the spiritual elixir. What's the crime? And what happened today is not your fault. In all likelihood, there was something wrong with the Zhigang Palace..."

Despite Wei Zhong's kind words, Hu Jinchuan still felt guilty:

"In any case, Jinchuan's cultivation level is too low after all, and he missed the island owner..."

Wei Zhong interrupted him:

"Okay, okay, since your cultivation level is low, just raise it up. Now you are about to reach the peak of Qi refining. Practice well and build a foundation as soon as possible so that you can do things for me more conveniently."

After saying this, without waiting for a reply, he grabbed the other person and placed him on Jiucai's back.

At the same time, Jiucai was ordered to return to Qingbo Island.

‘Is this what it feels like to fly on a spiritual beast? ’

Hu Jinchuan stepped on the soft feathers under his feet, feeling a little strange, but suddenly he saw Wei Zhong looking back:

"Also, don't let anything happen today, especially about Pindao."

Hu Jinchuan's heart tightened:

"Jinchuan has completely forgotten what happened today!"

Wei Zhong couldn't help but nodded:

"Children can be taught."

After flying for a moment, Wei Zhong and Xie Jinchuan could already see the familiar scenery below.

‘It turns out that Jiucai’s escape speed is so fast, it is much faster than my imperial spirit boat. ’

Hu Jinchuan looked at the big bird below with a bit of resentment in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.

Suddenly, he was worried that Wei Zhong would find out, so he quickly stopped talking.

However, Wei Zhong didn't care about this little move and took out the formation token and waved it.

The formation light curtain in front of them revealed a passage several feet wide, along which two people and one bird flew into the spirit island.

After Wei Zhong put Hu Jinchuan down, Jiucai instantly retracted, turned into the size of a human head again, and landed on the cliffside pavilion.

It happened that the waves of the Luo River surged nearby, and a big golden fish jumped out of it...

Wei Zhong ignored the two playful beasts and returned directly to Yunqing Courtyard.

······

"Five Elements Soldiers Killing Formation?"

Ling Ziwei was surprised.

According to his understanding, this formation is a very special puppet formation in this inheritance.

It is composed of five puppets belonging to the five elements, and each puppet needs to hold a magic weapon of the same level in its hands. This is why it is called the Five Elements Soldier Killing, and it is a well-deserved killing array.

"The protective formation you set up Ziwei lacks attack and killing methods, so I thought of supplementing it with this formation. What do you think?"

Ling Ziwei nodded:

"The Five Elements Soldier Killing Formation is indeed appropriate, but five third-level puppets and five third-level magic weapons are too much..."

Before he finished speaking, a ray of silvery white light fell into the courtyard and appeared.

Ling Ziwei had a strange look on her face when she saw that his face was almost the same as Wei Zhong's.

Suddenly seeing the latter laughing, he turned to Wei Zhong and said:

"I'm fighting life and death outside, but you, the main body, are staying leisurely in the spirit island!"

Wei Zhong didn't have much reaction when he heard this. He made this kind of puppet with the intention of handling chores on his behalf.

After taking some time to drink a glass of spiritual wine, he introduced to Ling Ziwei:

"This is the puppet body I made using the "Shen Yin Jue", and there is a trace of my distraction hidden in it."

Ling Ziwei looked at Wei Zhong's clone in amazement:

"Then isn't this something similar to a god outside the body?"

"Not much different."

As soon as Wei Zhong made a seal, the puppet clone immediately turned into a silver thumb and fell into his hand.

At the same time, the distraction returns to the body and merges into it.

All his experiences just now emerged in Wei Zhong's mind instantly.

‘He Taoist, Zhigang Palace…’

When Wei Zhong finished digesting the memory, he also noticed a slight increase in the intensity of his consciousness.

'This "Splitting God Technique" is not bad, but if you want to maximize its effect, you need to create multiple distractions. ’

Wei Zhong opened his eyes and released the puppet again, but this time the puppet was not covered in flesh and blood, and its silver-white body was exposed.

With a little push, he suddenly showed an aura that was no less powerful than the two people present.

Ling Ziwei's eyes were filled with amazement: "I didn't expect that my husband could make such a third-level puppet."

Wei Zhong smiled and said:

"This is not an ordinary third-level puppet. I spent a lot of money to refine it. All of it is made of third-level spiritual materials, and there are even fourth-level materials filling it.

Paired with various magic weapons, its strength is also top-notch among pill formations. We have just experimented and found that monks in the middle stage of pill formation are no match for him. "

Knowing that this puppet was so powerful, Ling Ziwei spoke out:

"Does your husband want to use this kind of puppet to fill the Five Elements Soldier Killing Formation?"

Wei Zhong coughed twice:

"This puppet is difficult to make and difficult to copy. It is not included in the formation."

Ling Ziwei thought about what Wei Zhong said about spending a lot of money, and understood the reason:

"It's a pity. If we could use this to create the Five Elements Soldier Killing Formation, we might be able to defeat the Nascent Soul."

Wei Zhong put away the puppet and said:

"It's not bad to use ordinary third-level puppets. At least there are no opponents under the Nascent Soul. The worst thing is to upgrade it in the future. Sooner or later, it will reach the fourth-level level."

Ling Ziwei nodded.

After Wei Zhong chatted with him about the details of the formation refining, he returned to the cave to start preparations.

"This puppet technique can burn more than refining elixirs, refining weapons, or burning spiritual stones."

Wei Zhong had a headache when he thought about the five puppets that needed to be refined next.

"The Five Elements Puppet plus the magic weapon, etc., are at least worth the value of two of these puppets," Wei Zhong thought as he looked at the silver-white puppet in front of him.

"However, in order to maximize the power of this formation, we should not be too stingy. The main body of the puppet is made of third-level spiritual materials. As for the fourth-level materials, I don't have much in my hands, so don't add more, which is a waste of spiritual stones.

The magical weapon must be at least the third-level mid-grade, otherwise it will not be worthy of such a formation..."

Wei Zhong thought as he took out various spiritual materials, some of which he exchanged from Shan Qin, and some of which he collected himself.

"Weapons of the Five Elements can be refined into five types: swords, knives, whips, hammers, and sticks, which correspond to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth respectively.

I am quite proficient in refining magic swords, but for the other types of magic swords, I need to practice with low-level magic weapons first. "

The golden flames rose in Wei Zhong's hand, and he was caught in the long process of refining the weapon.

In just one year, Wei Zhong successfully refined all five magic weapons.

After looking at it, he looked at the inheritance jade slip aside. This was the fourth-level weapon refining inheritance that Wei Zhong got from Shan Qin.

After thinking deeply, he seemed to have some enlightenment, and immediately took out the fourth-level spiritual material. The color of the golden flame in his hand instantly became darker, wrapping it in it.

Three months later, a brand new magical sword fell into Wei Zhong's hands.

"Fourth-level magic weapon! Finally, after alchemy, the art of weapon refining has also entered the fourth level."

The panel was glowing, and the column for refining weapons was completely different.

[Fourth-level refining skills·Proficient (76%)]

Compared to alchemy, Wei Zhong's refining skills were far behind, but now at least he had advanced to the fourth-level level.

Looking back at the magic weapon in his hand, it was a dark black magic sword about one and a half feet long.

There were fine spiritual patterns engraved on the sword body. Wei Zhong injected a little of his own spiritual power, which made it slowly light up.

The magic sword floated in the air and hung in front of Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong carefully felt the difference from the third-level magic weapon.

'Sure enough, it is too difficult to use the power of Dan to activate this fourth-level spiritual weapon, and it cannot be used for long-term combat.

But the power is beyond the third-level magic weapon. You can use this sword at the critical moment in the battle to kill someone by surprise. '

Satisfied with putting away the magic sword, Wei Zhong picked up the inheritance jade slip.

The advancement of the weapon refining technique this time was a complete surprise. After Wei Zhong finished refining five third-level medium-quality magic weapons, he was inspired to try to refine a fourth-level magic sword, and the result was a success.

"In the future, I can refine third-level magic weapons to improve my fourth-level proficiency. I can also upgrade my portable magic weapons in the future."

Wei Zhong is quite confident in his Dan-forming magic power of "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art".

"Even if the magic power is exhausted, I can still control the puppet to fight the enemy. Safety is not a problem."

The magic weapon is refined, and the remaining thing is to refine the five-element puppet.

Spiritual power control, select various spiritual materials. Wei Zhong melted the spiritual materials step by step according to the puppet refining method described in "Shenyin Jue" to form various parts of the puppet.

This time, the puppet production took a lot less time than before. It seems that the improvement of the weapon refining skills has significantly improved the speed of puppet production.

[Level 3 Puppet Master·Proficient (86%)]

Proficient

Mastery (12%)···

······

Until Wei Zhong finished refining all five puppets, his proficiency finally stopped at Mastery (34%).

"The art of refining must have a blessing effect on puppet making. It is not a direct improvement, but a continuous acceleration of fusion during the puppet making process. This is the reason why my proficiency has improved so quickly."

Wei Zhong shifted his gaze from the panel to the front. Five five-color puppets were lying on the ground, and there was a big hole in their chests. This was the position for filling the spiritual energy core.

Five level 3 spiritual energy cores were taken out to fill them, and each puppet suddenly flashed with spiritual light.

The spiritual consciousness controlled it to float up, and Wei Zhong compared it with the previous silver-white puppet, and indeed found that its power was far inferior.

"It's mainly due to the limitation of the spiritual material grade, but the production method is superior."

From Wei Zhong's current perspective, the refining of the silver-white puppet is much rougher, especially the act of piling up materials to forcibly improve the puppet's grade is a bit wasteful.

"It needs to be disassembled and improved."
