Chapter 256 The Demon King's Purpose

"By the way, Daoist friend, you only have two chances to choose two of these three materials for assessment."

The little fox demon flew to the corner of the cave, entwined his long hair with his fingers, and spoke slowly.

As soon as this was said.

Shen Lian couldn't help but turn his head and look at the little fox demon.

For Shen Lian's observation, the little fox demon was not shy at all, licked the corner of his mouth, and deliberately opened his mouth for Shen Lian to look at.

Choose two out of three.

Originally, Shen Lian wanted to start with the third-level lower grade.

Even if the little fox demon put out the third-level great perfection Tianyuan Leiyuan corpse, he still had some concerns in his heart.

After all, this was his first time here, and he didn't know what big project the Great Demon King Canglan had gathered so many human races to do.

"Daoyou, have any cultivators taken away the rewards for the third-level perfection?"

"Of course there are."

The little fox girl responded indifferently: "My demon king is not like you humans who withhold rewards and do things behind the scenes. As long as you complete the task, the rewards you deserve will fall into your hands without a cent less.

"My Canglan Demon Mountain doesn't have much else, but there are many demon beasts and spiritual medicines."

"I wonder what treasure the great demon king is going to create?"

"Daoyou, you should take the assessment."

The little fox demon blinked, "I will tell you what I can tell you, and I won't tell you what I can't tell you even if you ask me, because I don't know either."

"Daoyou, let me tell you frankly, there are not many third-level high-quality spiritual objects, only about a dozen in total.

Among them are four demon king corpses, and this thunder ape is one of them.

In addition, there is a third-grade top-grade Nine-Turn Heart-Returning Bamboo, two Dragon Marrow Phoenix Pills, a Jiao King Inner Pill Fire, a third-grade twenty-seven and a half Dao, and a quasi-spiritual treasure Cangshan Sword that is only half a spiritual ban away from being promoted to the fourth-grade..."

"Also, the Tianyuan Thunder Ape corpse in front of you has been stared at by many people. There are many third-grade top-grade puppeteers in the Tiannan Continent.

These people have come more than once, and even many cultivators have passed the assessment in front of them, but still failed when they really took action.

Some Taoist friends did not come this time, probably practicing internal skills at home. "

Shen Lian looked at the little fox demon, "Daoyou, what do you mean, even if you pass the assessment, you may not be able to take away the reward?"

"Hehe."

The little fox demon covered his mouth and chuckled, jumped up and landed on Shen Lian's shoulder.

"Daoyou, what great thing are you thinking about? Do you think my Canglan Mountain is a charity? "

"The reward requires you to complete the following tasks. The assessment only represents your qualification to enter the next level."

"Of course, even if you fail to complete the task, I, Canglan Mountain, will give you some gifts, such as thunder spirit stones, some recovery pills, etc."

"If you really have the ability, you should show it. The demons of Canglan Mountain are not like you humans who are jealous of talents."

"If you are unlucky, someone else will take the ape corpse away this time."

"Once some treasures are taken away by someone, it is almost impossible to see them again. "

……

The little fox demon rolled up his long hair. He said these words to more than just Shen Lian.

At this moment, he used the spiritual treasure light-splitting phantom mirror to distribute in every assessment cave, and said it to many cultivators.

Moreover, the treasures in front of each cultivator were carefully selected by him, and they could arouse the greatest excitement of the corresponding cultivator.

Shen Lian stood on the stone platform on the far right, on which was a pile of third-level demon wolves that were cut into pieces by random knives.

Fortunately, this wolf brother was a projection, otherwise it would be really miserable.

There are two ways to be a puppet. One is to use the corpses of various races, including humans. The clan is used as a carrier, and by repairing the meridians, Dantian, golden elixir, etc. in the carrier, the physical strength of the carrier before his death, and even spells and even magical powers, are preserved.

Another way is to create different parts to form a combination puppet, just like he Shen Lian's life magic weapon.

Combination puppets and corpse puppets each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of combination puppets is that they can use low-level minerals and corpse bones to achieve the strength to compete with high-level cultivators through combination.

The disadvantage is that it is too cumbersome. In some places, the combination of puppet spirit patterns is troublesome and there must be no deviation.

The advantage of corpse puppets is that they are relatively Simple, but the state of the corpse before death determines the grade of the finished puppet. Sometimes it is easy to lose the grade if it is not made well.

The wolf demon on the stone platform was divided into hundreds of pieces, and there were many spider silks beside it. This was to test the ability of the puppeteer. The wolf demon corpse needed to be sutured, and the internal meridians and Dantian sea needed to be re-pinched.

In this process, the grade of the wolf demon would drop if it was not careful.

Although the wolf demon was broken into hundreds of pieces, these things were not difficult for Shen Lian. He rubbed his hands and quickly started to pick them up.

Since the little fox demon said that passing the assessment might not get the reward.

He planned to pass the test first, and then see what the situation would be.

If he could get the third-level Great Perfection Demon Ape, it would save him a lot of trouble.

He had all the spiritual medicines needed to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, but he lacked the things for body refining.

The precious blood of the thunder-attributed demon beast also contained the true meaning of heavenly thunder, which might reduce the violent aura in the demon blood and be beneficial to his body refining.

Before coming to Canglan Mountain, the grade of his puppetry was still the third-level low-grade, but after coming here and opening the Fatty Ding Puppet Shop, he upgraded his puppetry to the third-level middle-grade.

In addition, due to the long years of cultivation in the Jindan realm, Shen Lian had enough time to meditate and practice. In fact, he had already gathered the 100,000 points of perception required for promotion to the third-level upper-grade puppeteer.

His hands tumbled on the stone platform, and the spider silk danced like a butterfly through flowers, stitching up the wolf demon's bones piece by piece.

The little fox demon lay on the side and watched. It could see that Shen Lian's method was a puppet repair method commonly used in the world of immortal cultivation. If there was any difference, it was Shen Lian's proficiency and control.

But there was really no highlight.

Over the years, it has seen many puppeteers, some of whom came from far away and performed various schools and methods, which were much more enchanting than Shen Lian.

Unfortunately, most of them were silver-plated gun heads, which looked good but were not used.

Soon, Shen Lian sewed up the broken demon wolf and passed the test.

Then, he came to the stone platform in the middle. This was a leg bone of a demon beast, exuding a strong earth-type aura.

This platform is a means to test the combination puppet. This leg bone is just one part. What Shen Lian has to do is to carve the puppet rune on it and let it integrate perfectly into the main body.

But the main body did not tell him what it is. Don't think that a leg should be installed on the buttocks. The combination puppets are all stitched monsters. Maybe this leg will be installed on the head.

In the end, Shen Lian chose the universal combination puppet rune. As long as the rune is fully imprinted, let alone installed on the buttocks, even if it is installed under the crotch, there is no problem.

...

"Passed the assessment."

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist."

The little fox demon flew over and bowed to Shen Lian. The two mountains in front of him also expressed respect.

"Fellow Taoist, please follow me."

A light gate lit up in the cave, and the little fox demon went into the light gate and disappeared. After Shen Lian walked out of the light gate, he found that he appeared in a spacious cave.

In the cave, white jade is used as a seat, clear springs flow, and spiritual energy wanders under the feet like mist.

There are already three figures sitting in the cave.

One of them was the puppet master Shen Lian saw outside, the old man who wanted to obtain the corpse of the Tongbei Golden Ape.

"Another fellow Taoist has passed the test."

Seeing Shen Lian come out, the three cultivators present looked at each other sideways.

"Fellow Taoist, I am Guhe from the Tianyuan Sect."

A young cultivator who looked a little weak bowed to Shen Lian.

"A casual cultivator, Ding Xiu."

Shen Lian glanced at the figure who greeted him first, and also bowed with his fists.

Tianyuan Sect, one of the seven major sects, actually has cultivators who have come all the way to Canglan Mountain.

Then, he bowed to the remaining two cultivators.

Soon, he knew the names of the remaining two cultivators.

The old man who wanted the Tongbei Ape was the chief cultivator of the Guiji Sect, another small Jindan sect nearby. His name was Guiji Zhenren, and he was a third-level upper-grade puppet master in the early years.

The remaining one was a female cultivator, who looked very ordinary, but Shen Lian took a closer look.

It's not that he is abnormal, but the appearance of female cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation is very rare. As long as they have achieved success in cultivation, it is very easy to deliberately change their faces without rebounding.

The female cultivator is also a third-level upper-grade puppet master, named Hongye.

Including Shen Lian himself, who has not yet advanced to the third-level upper-grade, but whose skills are not inferior to the third-level upper-grade puppet master, there are four third-level upper-grade puppet masters at once.

"It's been a long time, I'm afraid no one has passed the assessment."

Master Guiji sighed, he is a frequent visitor here.

But the rules of the demon king are that no matter how many times they come, they need to be assessed every time they come, so as not to take advantage of the loopholes.

In the communication with the three people, Shen Lian also knew the matter.

It is naturally impossible for the puppet masters who came here to be just a few of them, but the third-level middle-grade and low-grade puppet masters will not appear here.

"Fellow Daoist Guiji, can you explain what kind of puppet Lord Demon King wants to build?"

At this time, Gu He asked. Like Shen Lian, he came here for the first time, for a third-level perfect puppet corpse.

Master Guiji stroked his beard, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's really that I don't know everything. It should be an extremely large spirit ship.

I came here several times, and each time I only carved some outer combined puppet parts. I wanted to carve more internal puppet parts, but my strength was not enough.

This is my only chance left. Even if I have to risk my life, I have to try it and get a heritage treasure for the sect."

Hearing Master Guiji's somewhat sighing words, the three people in the cave were stunned.

"Fellow Daoist will definitely get what you want."

Seeing that the scene was quiet, Shen Lian spoke to warm up the scene. Anyway, good words don't cost spirit stones.

He also admired Master Guiji's idea. The sect's chief cultivator was willing to risk his life for the sect's inheritance.

According to Master Guiji, the place where this person entered was a circular passage, and the passage was surrounded by puppet boards. What needs to be done is to imprint enough runes on the puppet boards so that the puppet boards bite together tightly.

"The place I chose has many Panlong pillars, and my task is to imprint puppet runes on the Panlong pillars."

"According to the rules set by Lord Demon King, if you complete the puppet rune imprinting of 100 pillars, you can get the final reward. Unfortunately, I only imprinted 69 pillars before I was exhausted."

As puppet masters of the same third-level upper grade, Shen Lian is the lowest in the third-level late stage, and the remaining three are all third-level great perfection.

Both Puppet Machine and Hongye are exhausted from branding the puppet soul, so it is easy to imagine that this job is not easy to do.

However, Canglan Demon King understands human nature, and the rewards given to the monks are really rare.

Moreover, if you fail to complete the task and cannot get the reward, Canglan Mountain will also give some other spiritual objects as labor fees.

You won't lose money, but you won't make much money either.

Too sweet.

Chi Guoguo's conspiracy, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

In this way, the four people waited for another day, but no monk came to their room again.

In other words, there are only four of them as the third-level high-grade puppet masters this time.

"Good luck, fellow Taoists."

The little fox demon appeared on the scene again, but this time it took the form of a snow-white little fox, stepping on clouds of mist, opening its mouth and spitting out a ball of rolling mist.

The fog got bigger and bigger after rising, and finally turned into a curtain of light.

"Fellow Taoist, you can choose your own tasks."

"The Panlong Pillar is branded with the third-level high-grade puppet rune. If you complete one hundred pillars, you will get the highest level reward."

…

"Create independent third-level high-grade puppet accessories. Complete one hundred to get the highest reward."

"Leave a mark on the screen wall..."

…

There are more than a dozen tasks on the light screen, but each task has only two results, either it is successful and the highest reward is obtained, or it is not completed.

You have received the subsistence allowance, and you are welcome to come back next time after you have rested.

Judging from the experience of so many years, almost 99% of the monks have received the script of coming again next time and coming again next time.

But Shen Lian still sympathizes with fellow Taoists. After all, he is the same. The reward given by Canglan Demon King is too attractive.

It made him feel scratchy in his heart.

Shen Lian chose to create independent accessory puppet parts.

Fellow Daoist Hongye still chose Panlongzhu. He obviously felt that it didn't work last time and wanted to experience it again this time because of his experience.

Similarly, the real puppet machine still chooses the puppet board.

Fellow Daoist Furukawa chose the video wall.

As for mutual cooperation, the Great Demon King said no, the monks have to rely on themselves.

"Then fellow Taoists, come with me."

The little fox divided into four and led the four people into the four light gates.

…

The years of cultivating immortality are like a horse passing by.

In a space filled with a vast atmosphere, puppet parts of various shapes, large and small, were lying in the grass.

The parts of these puppets are as big as mountains and as small as needles, with all kinds of strange shapes.

Outside a puppet part about ten feet in size, Shen Lian sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing.

The work in front of him hasn't started yet. If he hadn't been afraid of surveillance, he would have replaced his secondary soul to work on it.

After adjusting his breath, he gently patted the puppet parts in front of him, took a jade slip and felt it.

Working for the Demon King does not require him to use his will. The Demon King directly gives the rune array carved by runes, and he only needs to carve the puppet parts bit by bit according to the appearance of the rune array.

The spiritual thoughts were absorbed into the jade slip, and the combination of forbidden patterns in the jade slip just formed a cycle of five elements.

Shen Lian was very familiar with this kind of restriction.

It's nothing to build a five-element cycle with one or two parts, but the Demon King gave him so many jade slips, all of which were runes for the five-element cycle.

In other words, the oversized ‘puppet’ to be built, let’s call it a spiritual ship, is inseparable from the Five Elements.
