Chapter 178: Building a Puppet Workshop (1/2)

There is a cultivator in the city to suppress it, even if it is only a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, it can handle a lot of problems. In addition, these cultivators are all from the Puppet Sect. Apart from other things, at least there is no shortage of iron and wood puppets.

Feng Tianzong has no shortage of materials now, and he is naturally generous to these sect disciples who are willing to serve under him. Not to mention the secular money, there is still enough material for refining iron and wood puppets.

For Jindan cultivators, any little that slips through the fingers is enough for Qi Refining cultivators to eat.

Feng Tianzong also gave each of them a life-saving talisman made by Taishi Mingzhen. He also promised to refine a bone spirit puppet for them after serving under him for three years.

Ordinary bone spirit puppets, if they do not integrate the magical power seeds, can be easily refined with Feng Tianzong's current cultivation, and even do not need to consume taxes.

For Feng Tianzong, this kind of bone spirit puppet without the magical power seeds is a crude and inferior product with insufficient combat power. But for these Qi Refining cultivators, this is a rare treasure.

It may even be the most precious treasure in their lives, enough to be passed down as a family heirloom.

For these ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, they basically have no chance to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage in their lifetime. The bone spirit puppet with strength close to the Foundation Establishment stage is the most powerful combat force in their hands.

In addition to these Qi Refining cultivators stationed in various cities, the remaining eight Qi Refining cultivators were all placed in the Ironwood Puppet Workshop by Feng Tianzong. A group of martial arts masters were recruited from the mortal world to process ironwood and make parts for ironwood puppets.

Ordinary people really can't use ironwood to make parts. It's time-consuming and laborious, and it's difficult to process ironwood.

Only masters who have achieved success in martial arts among the mortal world can make ironwood into puppet parts.

In just one day, the workshop produced sixteen ironwood puppets. This was because the staff were newly recruited and not very skilled. When these martial arts masters become skilled, the workshop's output will be further increased, and at least thirty ironwood puppets a day will be no problem.

However, as the output of ironwood puppets increased, the raw material ironwood began to be in short supply, even though Northern Xinjiang was the origin of ironwood and even though he had completely controlled the entire Northern Xinjiang.

The production of ironwood is still limited. Now relying on the previously stockpiled inventory, the ironwood puppet workshop can still support it for a while. However, as the puppet workshop expands and the output accelerates, that little inventory can't support it for much time.

"Ironwood, it's time to consider artificial cultivation of ironwood. I can control wind and rain, control sunlight, and control temperature through the formation. As long as the growth environment of ironwood can be simulated, ironwood should be able to be planted on a large scale." Feng Tianzong pondered in his heart.

The current Ironwood Puppet Workshop is still a small workshop with eight Qi Refining monks. If the production is expanded in the future, one hundred or even three hundred Ironwood puppets per day will not be a problem.

Although the combat effectiveness of low-level puppets such as Ironwood puppets is not high, that is also relative to monks. For mortals, it is also very powerful.

However, Feng Tianzong is not going to take this kind of combat effectiveness. Instead, he is going to completely eliminate the combat effectiveness of Ironwood puppets. For him, this kind of combat effectiveness of the first level of Qi Refining is worse than nothing.

This kind of combat effectiveness is already very powerful for ordinary people. If it is pushed into the civilian population, it is too easy to cause casualties. The harm of Ironwood puppets is much greater than that of firearms.

But for Feng Tianzong, the combat effectiveness of Ironwood puppets is so low that it can be almost ignored.

Even if a battle formation is formed, if you want to reach the combat effectiveness of the Golden Core stage, it requires a very large number, and it is difficult to move. It can be said that there are too many disadvantages to use Ironwood puppets to fight.

He was going to launch a civilian version of the ironwood puppet on a large scale.

In the past, the ironwood puppet, no matter how low-end it was in the world of immortal cultivation, was used by immortal cultivators, not something that ordinary people could get.

Even if someone got it, they would treat it as a family heirloom, the family heritage, and carefully hide it in the family's treasure house.

No one ever wanted to promote the ironwood puppet in the mortal world.

But if the ironwood puppet is used as a labor force, it is a real treasure. Compared with oxen, the ironwood puppet is not only more powerful, but also does not need to rest, and does not even need to eat grass, just give it water.

Whether it is farming, transportation, mining, logging, these jobs that require strength, can be done with ironwood puppets. Greatly improve work efficiency.

Feng Tianzong feels that the ironwood puppet is good quality and cheap, and is one of the most suitable products to promote in the mortal world.

If it can be promoted to the whole people in Northern Xinjiang, the productivity of Northern Xinjiang will definitely be greatly improved. It can reclaim wasteland on a large scale, harvest more food, and feed more people.

The civilian version of the ironwood puppet needs to eliminate the combat instinct in the puppet core. This is not a problem for Feng Tianzong, whose puppetry has already reached the third-level advanced level.

Just modify the formation route for refining the ironwood puppet core. The ironwood puppet that cannot fight is actually more useful than the ironwood puppet that can fight.

It can be said that a small ironwood puppet workshop gave Feng Tianzong the greatest hope. Although it has poor combat power, it is Feng Tianzong's biggest trump card for developing the northern border.

After opening a breeding farm for low-level monsters, and then building a bone spirit puppet workshop, the combat power can be completely handed over to large-scale bone spirit puppets.

Feng Tianzong discovered that these low-end puppets of the Puppet Sect are the most precious treasures that can be promoted on a large scale in the secular world. However, the first problem to be solved now is the problem of raw materials.

Among the six foundation-building brothers who followed Feng Tianzong down the mountain to fight for the dragon this time, Feng Tianzong left the eldest brother Zhang Weize alone.

Not only because the eldest brother is his fellow brother, the relationship is closer than that of others. It is also because the eldest brother is the person he trusts the most.

The Twelve Yuanchen Tianguang Disha Great Array in Liaoyuan City needs someone to preside over it. Feng Tianzong himself is too lazy to preside over it, and Tai Shi Mingzhen also needs to practice and does not want to spend time presiding over the formation every day.

So Feng Tianzong can only hand over the formation in the city to the eldest brother Zhang Weize to preside over it, so as to keep Liaoyuan City in good weather and good harvest. It does not take too long every day.

Of course, this will also take up some of the senior brother's time. But Feng Tianzong can compensate the senior brother in other ways. For example, he can give the senior brother a bone spirit puppet with the peak strength of the foundation-building period.

Puppet sect disciples usually spend half of their time practicing, and the rest of the time is spent on finding materials and refining puppets.

With Feng Tianzong's funding, the senior brother can save time on finding materials and refining puppets. Therefore, the work of presiding over the operation of the formation will not have any impact on the senior brother's cultivation. On the contrary, it may give him more time to practice. In fact, it is also a win-win situation - each takes what he needs.

Among the puppets in Feng Tianzong's hands, Gray Stone's strength is actually a little behind. After all, it is just a stone spirit puppet, and it is still a relatively ordinary one.

Although it has been promoted to the strength of the Golden Core Stage, it is far inferior to Jinshi, which is also a stone spirit puppet. Among the copper spirit puppets, it has no competitiveness.

Feng Tianzong plans to give Gray Stone to the eldest brother when his strength is further improved and he has more copper spirit puppets. He will never let this eldest brother who is really good to him suffer.

Feng Tianzong asked the eldest brother: "Elder Brother, does our Puppet Sect have any secrets on cultivating iron wood?"

"What's the point of cultivating this thing? It's not worth much. As long as you are serious, you can find it in many mountains and forests in the world of cultivation. And this thing takes a long time to mature, at least a hundred years to mature. Who would be stupid enough to study and grow this thing?" The eldest brother said strangely.

It can be found on the roadside without any value, and it takes a long time to cultivate. It can be said that iron wood is completely worthless in the world of cultivation.

But that is the world of immortal cultivation. What the eldest brother said about being able to find it easily is that it is only in the deep mountains. There may not be many in a mountain forest.

In the secular world, there are certainly many ironwoods, but it is definitely not enough to supply puppet workshops on a large scale.

However, it also made Feng Tianzong realize that the growth conditions of ironwood should not be high, after all, it is a tree that can be found in many places in the world of immortal cultivation.

It should not be difficult to plant, but the difficulty is that it takes a long time for trees like ironwood to become timber, hundreds of years.

However, for other people, this is a not cost-effective business of planting trees for future generations to enjoy the shade. But for Feng Tianzong, he has plenty of time to develop.

"Eldest brother, is there any magical power that can accelerate the growth of plants?" Feng Tianzong asked the eldest brother again.

Although the cultivation of the eldest brother Zhang Weize is not as good as Feng Tianzong, he has been in the sect for a longer time than Feng Tianzong and has received a more comprehensive sect education.

So Feng Tianzong does not know many things, but the eldest brother Zhang Weize knows them clearly.

"We in the Puppet Sect definitely don't have this kind of magical power, but I heard that the Medicine God Sect has this kind of magical power, which is also a secret that they don't pass on. We can't get the core inheritance of the sect. Unless the Medicine God Sect is destroyed in this catastrophe, his core magical power will be spread out and finally collected by other sects." Senior Brother Zhang Wei frowned and said.

Feng Tianzong nodded. It turns out that the magical powers in the world of cultivation are completed through repeated catastrophes. The Puppet Sect has so many magical powers and spells, maybe they are also obtained through repeated catastrophes in the world of cultivation.

Feng Tianzong didn't get the answer he wanted from the senior brother, so he returned to the harem to find Tai Shi Mingzhen.

Feng Tianzong didn't introduce the brothers of the Puppet Sect to Tai Shi Mingzhen, after all, the difference in their cultivation was a little bit big. Both sides were uncomfortable when they met, and there was no topic to talk about.

However, as a Jindan cultivator, Tai Shi Mingzhen also had control over part of the formation, so he naturally had already sensed the brothers Feng Tianzong entertained.

However, Feng Tianzong did not take the initiative to introduce her, so she did not go out.

"My husband, are there only a few disciples in your Puppet Sect this year?" Tai Shi Mingzhen asked with some curiosity. The name of the Puppet Sect has been circulated in the world of immortal cultivation for a long time. After all, it is a great sect that has been passed down since ancient times and has survived several catastrophes.

The sect is famous in the entire world of immortal cultivation. No one dares to provoke it easily. There are not many disciples walking outside, so it always looks mysterious.

There are many stories about the Puppet Sect's achievements in the world of immortal cultivation. But it has been a long time since the last war in which the Puppet Sect participated. Rumors are just rumors after all, and it is normal for Tai Shi Mingzhen to be curious.

"It's not that there are only a few people, but there are only a few people who are willing to follow me down the mountain and help me fight for the dragon. Among them, there are two senior brothers whose main purpose is to recruit disciples in the mortal world, and helping me is just a matter of course." Feng Tianzong naturally would not reveal the situation in the sect completely.

Since the catastrophe is about to start, it is not certain who will be friends and who will be enemies in the future. Feng Tianzong would naturally not leak the sect's news to Taishi Mingzhen.

Each catastrophe, from the beginning to the end, may last from several decades to hundreds of years. The information of today's foundation-building cultivators may seem unimportant, but hundreds of years later, these people may become Nascent Souls or Gods.

"Madam, I want to cultivate trees like ironwood on a large scale. I wonder if your Five Elements Sect has any magical spells to accelerate the growth of trees?" Feng Tianzong asked directly.

"Sorry, husband, we don't have such magical spells in the Five Elements Sect. Generally, the magical spells that accelerate the production of plants are the secret magical spells of the sects that are mainly based on alchemy. Most of these magical spells involve the secrets of the sect and are not completed.

We, the magic cultivators, mainly practice combat spells and rarely involve magical spells in this area." Taishi Mingzhen said.

Although it is impossible to deal with it from the perspective of magical spells, Feng Tianzong still has to cultivate the ironwood forest. Otherwise, with such large-scale felling, the ironwood will be cut down and extinct sooner or later.

Feng Tianzong ordered that in addition to purchasing ironwood at high prices in various cities in the northern border, he also sent people to plant ironwood seeds in the two mountains closest to Liaoyuan City.

These two mountains are covered by the Twelve Yuanchen Tianguang Disha Great Array. Feng Tianzong can mobilize the power of the earth veins to transport fertilizer to this ironwood forest and control the weather.

Feng Tianzong also found that planting ironwood is not difficult, and the survival rate of ironwood is not low. It’s just that the growth of ironwood requires the absorption of spiritual energy. Even if the spiritual energy required to be absorbed is not much, the spiritual energy required for large-scale planting of ironwood is not a small number.

This is also the reason why the number of ironwood is scarce in the secular world.

However, Feng Tianzong also found that it only needs to consume the three-light energy in the Twelve Yuanchen Tianguang Disha Great Array on a large scale, and the energy gathered by the three lights of the sun, moon and stars in the array can replace the consumption of spiritual energy for the ironwood forest.

In other words, if you want to plant ironwood on a large scale, this array will no longer be able to store the three-light energy. The power of the array cannot be enhanced.
