"It is too difficult to make a puppet out of thin air. Even an ordinary puppet as tall as a person is not easy."

"If there is a puppet for me to dismantle and study at will, it may be of great help."

After the ninth failure, Lu Qingfeng found Mu Yuanyi and asked him to purchase two low-level puppets from within the Spirit Machine Academy.

Mu Yuan responded one by one.

It's just that the Lingji Academy is now operating at full capacity, and under the command of Baiqiao Sect, it is constantly extinguishing beast tides one after another. He also has to fight against the masters of the Ghost Spirit Sect hiding in the dark. The disciples are all in danger, and all kinds of puppets are also part of their strength, so they will definitely not take action easily.

Mu Yuanyi couldn't guarantee whether it could be purchased.

"This Ghost Spirit Sect!"

After Lu Qingfeng heard this, he couldn't help but feel bad about the Ghost Spirit Sect.

If it were a peaceful period, with Mu Yuanyi's relationship, it would be extremely easy to purchase two low-level puppets.

Now it has become difficult.

And even if it can be purchased, the price will be several times higher than in the past.

No wonder Lu Qingfeng was dissatisfied with the Ghost Spirit Sect.

Unfortunately, the puppet sample could not be found for the time being. It was obviously impossible for him to take apart the puppets in Yuanyi Guild and study them casually.

Lu Qingfeng could only continue to try to refine it himself.

There are many categories of puppets.

Broken down, there is one type that requires someone to stay in it to control it, one type that can be controlled remotely through the Thousand Machine Stones, and another type that can act autonomously according to instructions.

According to their functions, there are combat puppets, auxiliary puppets, special puppets, etc.

In terms of appearance, they can be divided into humanoid puppets, animal-shaped puppets, etc.

The first thing Lu Qingfeng studied was humanoid puppets.

If you want to refine a humanoid puppet, you must first construct a humanoid shape out of metal, special materials, or a demonic beast skeleton. Depending on the design, the puppet can be large or small.

For example, the giant puppet controlled by Mu Yuanyi is huge and can be easily carved into various talisman formations. The more talisman formations there are, the more powerful they will be.

Lu Qingfeng understood it.

That giant puppet is a level six puppet. Once Mu Yuan settles in, he can unleash the power of the fourth realm of foundation building—the body tempering realm. He can be called an invincible existence during the foundation building phase!

But this kind of giant puppet is supported by the skeleton of a push mountain beast. The exoskeleton is made of black iron. Each node inside is made of cloud essence stone. The joints are connected with the beast tendons of the fifth and sixth level monsters and the thousand-year-old beasts. Thousand-year-old rubber produced from ancient oak trees.

Apart from Xuantie, Lu Qingfeng could barely obtain these materials.

Others, whether they are Tuishan Beast skeletons, Cloud Essence Stones, fifth- or sixth-level monster tendons, and thousand-year-old rubber, are difficult to collect in Miaoyin City.

Not to mention that in addition to these materials, the giant puppet uses mithril to outline the talisman formation and the spiritual water to tan the animal sinews!

So, just skip the giant puppet.

For Lu Qingfeng, small puppets are the easiest to make in reality.

Three days passed in a flash.

Lu Qingfeng was a little more knowledgeable about tanning the sinews of ordinary beasts and first- and second-level monster beasts. It's just that if you want to refine the talisman formation within the animal tendons, you still need to practice more frequently.

At this time, a small auction jointly sponsored by the major guilds in Surabaya Town began.

Lu Qingfeng went there together with Mu Yuanyi, Zhang Zong, Wang Tao and other senior figures from the Yuanyi Guild.

…

Not to mention in reality, this is the first time Lu Qingfeng has participated in an auction in the game since he came into contact with spiritual practice!

Fairy world!

Before Lu Qingfeng traveled through time, he learned about it through various online novels. What impressed him most was the numerous markets in the world of immortality, as well as the large and small black and white market auctions that can be seen everywhere.

Lu Qingfeng was looking forward to it.

"In this auction, in addition to various monster materials, there are also many broken puppets and magic weapons. Lao Lu, you have been addicted to puppets recently, you can see for yourself." Zhang Zong and Lu Qingfeng walked side by side and said road.

"Lao Zhang is right."

"Although those puppets have no repair value, buying them back to study or disassembling the parts to repair other puppets can be considered as making the best use of them."

When Mu Yuan heard Zhang Zong's words, he turned around and smiled at Lu Qingfeng, "Old Lu, if you want to take it, you can consider selling the parts to the guild at a low price after studying it."

Lingjiyuan governs three hundred miles of mountains and nine large cities.

The major guilds are the vanguard in dealing with the beast tide.

With the endless tide of beasts, even a puppet with strong defense might be destroyed by accident, or suffer various irreparable damage and be scrapped.

It would be a waste if the scrapped puppets were discarded.

If it is owned by the guild, the useful parts will be disassembled and continued to be used. There are also people who sell broken puppets directly through various channels.

This small auction in Surabaya Town will definitely feature these broken puppets.

After Lu Qingfeng heard this, he became more and more excited.

Soon, Surabaya Town arrived.

The auction venue is located in the central square of Surabaya Town. This place is no longer what it was when Lu Qingfeng first arrived.

"Tall buildings rise from the ground!"

"Great work!"

Lu Qingfeng looked up at the tall building in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

The originally empty square was built into a large pagoda-shaped building over the years. The first floor below is still empty, with major guilds stationed there.

The second and third floors are filled with seats.

When there is no auction, these seats are small stalls, just like the market in Black Sand Town. Once major guilds hold auctions, these seats are temporarily requisitioned and used as VIP seats.

Lu Qingfeng and other senior officials of Yuanyi Guild entered it, which was on the third floor.

On the same floor as them, there are seven old guilds in Sishui Town, the top eight guilds in Pingshan Town, and disciples from Lingji Academy.

The second floor contains the emerging guilds in the two towns in recent years and the famous casual cultivators nearby.

The first level is casual cultivators with no background.

Lu Qingfeng looked towards the first floor and saw that not long after he saw hundreds of casual cultivators, he couldn't help but wonder, "So many casual cultivators near Sishui Town?"

He doesn't move around much and really doesn't understand these situations.

"Of course there is."

"Since Lingjiyuan occupied Cuiping Mountain, three hundred miles away, and then the towns of Sishui and Pingshan were gradually formed, the number of casual cultivators accumulated nearby has been on the rise. After the establishment of major guilds, the rise and fall of the guilds caused the proliferation of martial arts and the surge in the number of casual cultivators. To form the scale it is today." Mu Yuanyi explained from the sidelines.

If one or two of these casual cultivators are successful, they can establish a family. It was passed down by luck and became the prototype of the cultivating immortal family.

In addition to this source of the immortal cultivating family, the disciples in the Lingji Academy started families and established businesses, supporting future generations to cultivate immortality and enter the Tao. Over time, it is also possible to form a family inheritance linked by blood.

At present, the Lingji Institute has only been established for a short period of time, and the Immortal Cultivation Family has not yet emerged.

However, in Baiqiao Sect, there are not a few such immortal cultivating families who are free from both inside and outside the sect.

Another example is that in cities such as Mushan City, there are immortal cultivating families. The strength of these cultivating families is often not strong. Although they have many heirs, there are very few who can truly embark on the path of cultivation and become great foundation-building cultivators.

"I see."

Listening to the explanations and extensions by Mu Yuanyi, Wang Tao and others, Lu Qingfeng understood this world better and became more integrated into it.
