Mortal Seeking Immortal

As time went by, the headmaster gradually became dissatisfied with carving non-aggressive flowers, birds, fish and beasts, and began to shift his attention to monsters and monks, wanting to make mechanical puppets as aggressive as monks and monsters.

After some research, the headmaster used various hard spiritual woods as materials, supplemented by a rare crystal called blood crystal that stored a large amount of spiritual power to power the spirit puppet, and successfully refined an aggressive spirit puppet.

Afterwards, the headmaster could not bear to see the method of refining spirit puppets lost in the world of immortal cultivation, so he began to recruit disciples with talent for refining instruments in the world of immortal cultivation, and carefully cultivated a group of disciples. As the number of disciples under his seat gradually increased, the Spirit Puppet Sect was established.

The spirit puppets refined by the Spirit Puppet Sect are divided into two types: human-like spirit puppets and beast-like spirit puppets. Because spirit puppets are only mechanical puppets, they cannot really think and act like humans, and can only be controlled by the monks who refine the spirit puppets.

Therefore, among the same level, the larger beast-like spirit puppets are generally more powerful than the human-like spirit puppets.

The levels of spirit puppets are like the cultivation of cultivators, which are divided into Qi training, foundation building, Dan formation, Yuanying, and Shen transformation, and each level is divided into three levels: low-level, medium-level, and high-level.

According to the records in the jade slips, the highest-level spirit puppet refined in the Spirit Puppet Sect is the high-level combined Qinglong Spirit Puppet, which was refined by the first generation of the head and several disciples under his seat who were extremely talented in refining spirit puppets. It took decades to refine it together.

It is said that this Qinglong Spirit Puppet is a hundred feet long, with two horns on its head, covered with green scales, and has five claws. It can travel in the sky and spit out powerful dragon breath. Its attack power is comparable to an ordinary attack of a cultivator in the Great Perfection Realm of Combination.

However, because the level of this Qinglong Spirit Puppet is too high, it takes a huge amount of blood crystals to control it once. Therefore, the Spirit Puppet Sect rarely uses this Qinglong Spirit Puppet after refining it. It will only use it when the sect faces life and death.

Later, for unknown reasons, the Spirit Puppet Sect suddenly disappeared in the world of immortal cultivation. There was no such sect as the Spirit Puppet Sect anymore, and the whereabouts of the high-level Azure Dragon Spirit Puppet it refined was unknown.

Thousands of years later, a sect called Qianji Sect suddenly appeared in the world of immortal cultivation. This sect could also refine various spirit puppets like the Spirit Puppet Sect, but the highest level of spirit puppets refined by this sect was the Transformation Realm, which was far inferior to the original Spirit Puppet Sect.

Seeing this, Ye Zhou was shocked. He didn't expect that there were such powerful mechanical puppets in the world.

You should know that his current master, the Sixth Elder, has only reached the late stage of Jindan, and the head of the Spirit Beast Sect has only reached the great perfection of Jindan.

If he had a few Jindan spirit puppets to protect him, as long as those old monsters in the Nascent Soul Realm did not come out, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in the world of immortal cultivation?

Ye Zhou couldn't help but covet the method of refining spirit puppets, but there were too many things recorded in the two jade slips, and he couldn't read them all in a short time. Ye Zhou decided to copy the two jade slips and take them back to read carefully.

Just as Ye Zhou was copying the jade slips, he suddenly remembered the wooden dog he had obtained in the secret realm left by Senior Jin Yangzi.

Ye Zhou compared the structure of the wooden dog with the structure of the spirit puppet recorded on the jade slip, and found that the wooden dog was a low-level spirit puppet. The red crystal placed in its chest should be the blood crystal that stored a lot of spiritual power recorded in the jade slip.

It was just that due to the passage of time, the spiritual power stored in the blood crystal was lost in large quantities, which led to the sudden stop of the wooden dog when it was about to attack him in the secret realm.

Although the blood crystal in the wooden dog has exhausted its spiritual power, with the wooden dog as the template of the mechanical puppet in hand, if he can get some methods of refining spiritual puppets from the jade slip, with Ye Zhou's attainments in refining equipment, he is confident that he can also refine some low-level spiritual puppets.

Looking at the jade slip placed on the rubbing stone, Ye Zhou couldn't help but think of Hou Yuan. If it weren't for Hou Yuan, he probably wouldn't know that there are such powerful mechanical puppets in the world.

But why did Hou Yuan come here to rub these two jade slips? Could it be that he also wants to find the method of refining spiritual puppets from them?

Ye Zhou thought of Hou Yuan's love of buying all kinds of spiritual wood on weekdays, guessing that he has already started to refine spiritual puppets, but has not succeeded yet, so he came here to look for jade slips related to spiritual puppets to see if he can find some methods of refining spiritual puppets from them.

But Hou Yuan obviously entered the door many years earlier than him, why did he come to rub these two jade slips now? Could it be that he just found these two jade slips?

This is not impossible. Hou Yuan has always been mysterious and cautious. With his personality, he would never ask the manager downstairs, so he could only search one jade slip after another until now.

Ye Zhou planned to have a chance to talk to Hou Yuan to see if it was possible to get some information related to refining spirit puppets from him.

While thinking, the two jade slips were copied. Ye Zhou put the original jade slip back on the bookshelf and hurried back to the cave with the copied jade slips. He couldn't wait to find out the method of refining spirit puppets from them.

Two hours later, Ye Zhou, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, slowly put down the jade slip in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, relieved his fatigue, and looked at the two jade slips related to spirit puppets with a little disappointment.

He had finished reading the two jade slips. In addition to introducing the two sects related to refining spirit puppets, they only recorded some relatively incomplete methods of refining spirit puppets handed down from the ancient world of immortal cultivation.

It is absolutely impossible to refine a spirit puppet with these incomplete refining methods.

Not to mention that most of the spiritual woods used to refine spirit puppets recorded in these refining methods have become extinct. The few remaining spiritual woods in the world of immortal cultivation only grow in some secret places, or are regarded as treasures by some sects or families and are not easily shown to others.

Ye Zhou then understood that this was the fundamental reason why the Spirit Beast Sect did not refine such a powerful spirit puppet.

Ye Zhou couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. It seems that if he wants to find the method to refine spirit puppets, he can only start from Hou Yuan.

However, Hou Yuan has always been mysterious and very smooth. From the fact that he would rather search among the mountains of jade slips in the library than ask the library manager, it can be seen that he does not want others to know that he is refining spirit puppets.

Even if Ye Zhou asked him, he would probably not tell him.

Suddenly, Ye Zhou's eyes inadvertently fell on the wooden dog placed aside. This wooden dog was a mechanical puppet handed down from ancient times. If you want to explore the refining of spirit puppets, this wooden dog is definitely the best reference.

From the fact that Hou Yuan is still looking for jade slips related to spirit puppets, it can be known that he has not successfully refined spirit puppets.

If this wooden dog is traded with Hou Yuan, and Ye Zhou is allowed to participate in his refining of spirit puppets, will he agree?
