Chapter 137 Puppet Army, Jin Yuanzong's Treasures

Wang Lishan nodded with a smile on his face.

"The high-level heterometallic materials you brought back before are very strange..."

"After two and a half years of research, the strength of this batch of puppets can be said to be greatly enhanced... You will know when you see it later!"

As he said, Wang Lishan waved his hand and motioned Lin Chen to follow.

After passing through the corridor, Lin Chen followed Wang Lishan to an elevator room.

At the door of the elevator room, dozens of fully armed warriors were heavily guarded.

After verifying his identity, Lin Chen followed Wang Lishan into the elevator.

The elevator went down all the way and stopped after descending for several minutes.

"This was originally a secret underground base, located three thousand meters underground. Now it has been transformed into a mysterious base specializing in the study of immortal cultivation technology."

Wang Lishan explained and continued to move forward with Lin Chen.

After walking for a few more minutes, the two entered a huge base room, which was no less than a hundred feet in radius.

Entering the room, Lin Chen saw dozens of researchers busy at work.

The room's roof, walls and floor are all made of alloy.

In the center of the base, rows of one-person-high martial arts puppets stood in place and were sleeping.

When Lin Chen saw the number of puppets, he was surprised.

"This... this puppet army, the number is probably over a hundred, right?"

"A total of 130 martial arts puppets."

Wang Lishan explained, then came to the martial arts puppets and explained the abilities of these puppets to Lin Chen.

"According to the advice of the think tank and the research of the expert group, we have divided the functions of the puppets in detail, and different types of puppets can be used in different situations."

Wang Lishan pointed to the puppets in the front row.

"This row is a reconnaissance puppet, a total of ten."

"They have a more complex computing system, input a large number of databases that sense the reconnaissance environment, can quickly understand complex environments, and independently carry out reconnaissance tasks..."

"Of course, their intelligent systems are also more advanced and can independently conduct business activities. According to calculations, when they conduct transactions, their behavior is as similar to that of humans as high as 98%."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at the ten puppets carefully.

Six of the puppets look exactly like Long Ba and Feng Jiu.

There are also several puppets that look like Xu Shi, Master Wu Lei Zi, and Han Lao Liu, and there is even one that looks exactly like Lin Chen himself...

Obviously, puppets with different appearances can be used in different environments.

For example, Master Wu Leizi and Han Laoliu will appear at the same time later...

"Because they are puppets dedicated to trading and reconnaissance, their firepower is slightly weaker."

"For cultivators who have completed their foundation building, these puppets have an absolute crushing power. But it is not so easy for them to deal with the Jindan stage..."

"Therefore, the comprehensive estimation of the strength of these ten puppets is between the fake pill and the early stage of Jindan... Of course, if they self-destruct, it is another matter."

Wang Lishan added a few more sentences.

Lin Chen nodded, pointed to the puppet in front of him on the left, and asked, "What are the abilities of this batch of puppets?"

Wang Lishan took a look and smiled, "This batch is combat-type puppets, with a total of about eighty."

"Ten of them have retained the appearance of Long Ba Feng Jiu, and the remaining ones correspond to the fake identities you used before..."

"This batch of puppets is an upgraded version of the previous version, with stronger firepower. The forging materials have also been upgraded..."

"According to calculations, the strength of this batch of puppets can effectively suppress the early stage of Jindan, and will not be at a disadvantage against the middle stage of Jindan before the firepower is exhausted."

After hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes were filled with amazement.

A full hundred puppets, all with the strength of the early stage of Jindan, this is the rhythm of sweeping Yanlai Realm!

Not to mention Yanlai, even in the entire Qingzhou, there are not many forces that can deal with this group of puppets...

After Lin Chen praised, he pointed to the group of puppets on the right and said:

"Are those also combat puppets?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

Wang Lishan shook his head and said:

"No, those are self-destructing puppets, a total of ten... Each puppet has an equivalent of 50,000 tons in its body..."

Lin Chen's mouth twitched after hearing this.

Good guy, self-destructing puppets have been researched?

50,000 tons of equivalent... You must know that the core in Long Ba Feng Jiu's body was only about 20,000 tons of equivalent...

This self-destructing puppet is to threaten the level of Yuanying cultivators!

With this self-destructing puppet, it is too easy to destroy a sect.

Send the puppet directly to the sect, and then self-destruct... I'm afraid there will be no survivors in the entire sect.

Wang Lishan then stepped forward and pointed at the innermost puppet and said:

"That batch of puppets, a total of twenty. It is our latest research result..."

"Because this batch of puppets not only uses martial arts technology, but also incorporates immortal cultivation methods into it."

Lin Chen's face showed surprise after hearing this.

He has been practicing for the past two and a half years, and he still has no clear understanding of the development of Daxia's immortal cultivation.

He only knows that the number of spiritual plants, spiritual energy, and even cultivators has increased more than ten times in the past two years...

Wang Lishan also saw Lin Chen's thoughts and smiled:

"You have been practicing for more than two years, and you know too little about the country's immortal cultivation department...Why don't you take some time to learn about it?"

Wang Lishan thought about it and asked tentatively: "Why don't you become the director of the immortal cultivation department?"

Lin Chen was startled after hearing this and shook his head quickly.

Isn't this the head of the Immortal Cultivation Department Wang Lishan? How can I steal his position?

Wang Lishan smiled when he saw this and said: "Xiao Chen, you are overthinking. What I meant was to give you an honorary ministerial position."

"On weekdays, you still focus on cultivation, but you get corresponding guarantees in terms of status."

"Those old men have long wanted to meet you and want you to join the high-level meeting..."

Lin Chen thought for a moment after hearing this.

Although he has not yet joined the relevant departments, in fact it is no different than joining, only one name is missing.

"Is he really just an honorary minister? He has no other work to do, right?" Lin Chen was still a little worried about trouble.

"Don't worry, can uncle still harm you? This matter is settled!"

Wang Lishan smiled, then activated the martial arts puppet in front of him and took out a pistol.

He pointed his gun at the martial arts puppet.

Bang!

Just a gunshot was heard, and when the bullet was still one foot away from the martial arts puppet, it was blocked by an invisible shield.

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows when he saw this and said in surprise:

"Protective formation? This martial arts puppet is even blessed with formations..."

Wang Lishan nodded and said with a smile:

"The formation you brought back from that ruins was finally cracked after more than two years of research."

"Applied to this martial arts puppet, theoretically it can block the attack power of the early stage of forming a pill..."

Lin Chen's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.

The original martial arts puppet had plenty of firepower, but its protective capabilities were slightly weaker.

But now with this formation, it can be said that the strength has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"That's not all! The formation is only part of the changes."

Wang Lishan ordered the puppet to turn off the shield formation, and then took out a long knife and slashed at the martial arts puppet's arm.

In this slash, Wang Lishan used his true power.

After the sword flashed, the puppet's left arm fell to the ground.

Then a magical scene happened.

The puppet knelt down and rejoined its arms.

After just a few breaths, the arm was reinstalled with almost no damage.

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows when he saw this, thinking of the puppet he met in the ruins.

Those puppets also seem to have extremely strong self-repair abilities...

"According to experiments, these puppets can recover quickly from ordinary injuries. As long as the core is not damaged, they have continuous combat capabilities..."

"This is also thanks to the exotic metals you brought back from the world of immortality, which have strong memory properties."

"In addition, this part of metal has also been added to your Demon Armor, which has been fully upgraded."

Wang Lishan stretched out his finger and pointed at the Demon Armor in the corner.

Lin Chen nodded slightly, although his current strength is different from before.

But the Demon Armor can also provide some help under special circumstances.

What he is more interested in is this new version of martial arts puppet.

After all-round upgrades in formations, firepower and materials.

The comprehensive strength of these twenty martial arts puppets is probably no weaker than that of the mid-stage pill formation.

"After these puppets are brought back, the Fengling Yueying Sect will become a large sect!"

Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.

Next, Lin Chen took over the control of these one hundred and thirty martial arts puppets.

But because of the weight of the puppet itself.

Even Lin Chen can only carry a few dozen puppets at a time.

It will take some time to bring these one hundred and thirty animals over.

After several hours of preparation, the countdown on Lin Chen's arm was about to be reset.

"Three, two, one!"

Lin Chen's vision suddenly changed.

…

The ruins of Jin Yuanzong, in the secret room of Shengmen.

After Lin Chen returned, he took out all the martial arts puppets in the nano bag and put them into the purple jade gourd.

These martial arts puppets weigh hundreds of tons.

After rearranging the supplies, Lin Chen felt light all over.

He walked straight to a formation, feeling excited and looking forward to it.

"After five years... I'm finally leaving this hellish place!"

Lin Chen took a deep breath and started to operate the third-turn Jin Yuan Gong that had been fully cultivated to the third turn.

The special martial arts aura enters this formation.

The cold voice finally appeared again in the secret room that had been immersed in it for more than two years.

"Congratulations, you successfully passed the student examination..."

"This relic will be destroyed in twelve hours. Next, you can go to the Jinyuan Sect's treasure house and inherit the sect's legacy..."

As this cold voice fell, the formation in the secret room was also lifted.

A gate on the stone wall opened smoothly.

"The door is finally open. Jin Yuanzong's relics...are there still twelve hours left?"

Lin Chen was in no hurry to leave this secret room.

He dug three feet into the ground and removed the solid metal from the floor, ceiling, and walls.

After that, he passed through the door in front of him and went to another space.

After passing through a formation barrier, Lin Chen's vision changed and he appeared in a huge space.

Looking around, this is a pristine valley.

There are patches of elixir planted there.

There are several small thatched houses and large spiritual fields in the distance.

"Hey, those figures are... puppets?"

Lin Chen blinked and looked at the dozen puppets in front of the thatched house that seemed to be harvesting the elixir.

After seeing Lin Chen, one of the puppets walked up.

His voice was cold, just like what Lin Chen had seen in previous assessments.

"Master, congratulations on inheriting the remains of the Jin Yuan Sect."

"According to the old master's last wish, the entire ruins will be destroyed, and you can take away all the heritage in this valley..."

Lin Chen looked at the puppet in front of him, blinked and asked:

"What kind of existence are you? Why...do you seem to be conscious?"

After hearing this, the puppet opened its abdomen, and a crystal clear bead appeared.

"Master, this is my true body, Tianyan Pearl."

"And I am the weapon spirit of Tianyan Pearl..."

The spirit of the weapon! ?

Lin Chen was startled. Only magic weapons above the level of spiritual weapons can be born...

Magic weapon, treasure weapon, spiritual weapon...

When it reaches the level of a spiritual weapon, only monks above Nascent Soul can use it.

Even ordinary Yuanying monks can only use treasures of better quality...

Thinking of this, Lin Chen took a deep breath, looked at the Tianyan Pearl in front of him and asked:

"So, what level of magic weapon are you?"

There was a faint light shining on the Tian Yan Pearl.

The cold voice came again.

"In terms of material, I should be a spiritual treasure..."

"But unfortunately, the master who refined me seems to have not finished refining it. Therefore, I can only be regarded as the prototype of the spiritual treasure..."

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. At most, he had only heard of spiritual weapons.

As for the so-called Lingbao and its prototype... Lin Chen had never heard of it.

At this time, Tian Yanzhu transmitted the message again:

"The spirit of this weapon is something more than a spiritual weapon... The old master said that the monk who refined me might be someone from the spirit world..."

Hearing this, Lin Chen's eyelids twitched.

Only when a monk reaches the realm of spiritual transformation and condenses the avatar of his divine will can he be qualified to enter the spiritual world.

But most people in the spirit world are legendary monks who are above the level of returning to the void...

"Good guy, is the grade of Tianyan Pearl so high today?"

Lin Chen thought to himself.

"Then...what are your abilities?"

After hearing this, Tian Yanzhu replied: "I am very smart. There is no weapon spirit I have seen that is smarter than me!"

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this. Lingbao-level weapon spirits are indeed much smarter than spiritual weapon spirits.

"Then what?" Lin Chen asked next.

"Ah? I'm very smart...isn't that enough?" Tian Yanzhu's cold tone sounded a little angry.

Lin Chen was stunned and asked tentatively:

"You mean...you have no other use besides being smart?"

After Tianyan Pearl Artifact Spirit heard this, he immediately became more anxious.

"There are still some small functions...but being smart is my greatest use!"

Speaking of this, Qi Ling's tone seemed to soften.

"It seems that the person who refined me is not skilled enough, so I am just a prototype of a spiritual treasure, and many of my abilities have not been developed..."

After hearing this, a black line appeared on Lin Chen's forehead.

Well, there’s another smart weapon spirit...

But it seems to be of no use?

Lin Chen saw that the weapon spirit was a little sad, so he quickly changed the topic and said:

"Ahem, let's talk about something else first? What treasures did your old master leave for me?"

After hearing this, the Tianyan Pearl Artifact Spirit suddenly became energetic and explained:

"The old master left behind many treasures!"

"Elixirs, materials, techniques, magic weapons, various materials..."

"After thousands of years of cultivation, I have harvested nearly 300,000 medicinal plants that are thousands of years old..."

"Most of them are second- and third-level medicinal materials, and there are also many fourth-level medicinal materials."

The puppet in front of me handed over a storage ring.

Lin Chen opened the storage ring and took a look. As expected, there were piles of jade boxes inside.

The number is enough for tens of thousands, and each jade box contains a dozen to dozens of identical medicinal herbs.

"My dear, so many old medicinal materials are so popular..."

Lin Chen's little heart was beating fast.

The output of elixirs in Daxia is extremely high.

But most of them are low-level elixirs that are only aged three to five years. After all, this is the only way to ripen them quickly.

It is extremely difficult to ripen medicinal materials that are hundreds of years old, let alone elixirs that are thousands of years old...

"What about these medicinal materials?" Lin Chen asked expectantly.

After hearing this, the puppet in front of him took out more than ten storage rings one after another.

"There's more! This is a storage ring containing magic weapons. There are no less than thousands of top-quality magic weapons, and there are hundreds of treasures..."

"This storage ring contains various ores and refining materials..."

"This ring contains formation materials..."

"There are also thousands of years of Jin Yuanzong's martial arts books, totaling about 600,000 volumes, all here..."

Qi Ling handed over all the storage rings to Lin Chen.

"Master, if you can pass the old master's assessment, you must be a genius among geniuses!"

"Therefore, the old master said that by accepting Jin Yuanzong's legacy, you have inherited the cause and effect of Jin Yuanzong, and you will inherit the old master's last wish in the future!"

Lin Chen froze in place after hearing this, and suddenly felt that these relics no longer smelled good.

"What is Jin Yuan Zhenren's last wish?"

"It seems that people with mediocre qualifications can also have a chance to get a glimpse of the avenue..."

"This, this is so gross!"

Lin Chen swallowed his saliva and could only say perfunctorily:

"Ahem, your old master's last wish, right? I will try my best to fulfill it."

Tianyan Pearl Artifact Spirit seemed very happy after hearing this, he said:

"Then I have to take all these relics out quickly! Hehe, after thousands of years, I can finally leave this place. I'm going to be bored to death!"

With that said, he ordered the puppet to pick all the medicinal materials.

After working for several hours, Lin Chen dug out all the valuable treasures in the valley, and even the spiritual soil with high spiritual energy content.

Finally, under the guidance of the spirit of the weapon, Lin Chen came to a teleportation array.

"You mean... stepping on this teleportation array, you can return to the outside world?" Lin Chen was a little excited.

"That's right! The old master set up the teleportation array for the outside world. As long as the array is not damaged, you can be teleported out!" The spirit of the weapon affirmed.

Lin Chen nodded, activated the teleportation array and asked:

"By the way, where exactly are you teleporting to? Is it the place where you enter the ruins?"

"Uh, it should be in Qingzhou..." The spirit of the weapon seemed a little guilty.

Lin Chen felt a little bad, but he didn't have time to explain.

After a dizzy spin, Lin Chen disappeared on the spot...

And not long after he left, the entire Jinyuanzong ruins began to collapse...
