The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 39: Concept of the Ink Armor Poison Spider Puppet (Seeking Continued Reading and Collection)

"The second stage Ink Armor Poison Spider has an incredibly tough ink armor. Even mid-stage Foundation Building cultivators may not be able to easily break through this ink armor, despite it being only in the early stage of the second stage."

"How did Li Yourong kill it?"

Chen Ling raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the Ink Armor Poison Spider corpse floating in the storage bag.

This was a Nine Directions storage bag, and after placing the Ink Armor Poison Spider inside, there was almost no remaining space.

"This Ink Spider's body is a treasure. It seems a bit wasteful to only take its ink armor."

Chen Ling thought to himself.

With the large body of this Ink Spider and its ink armor, he could refine two sets of armor without any problem.

But this meant that the other materials from this corpse would have no other use.

For Chen Ling, who always valued making the most of everything, this was a bit too extravagant.

"Right, why not refine it into a puppet?"

With a thought, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in Chen Ling's eyes.

He had obtained puppetry techniques from Chu Yu, although he hadn't added any points to it.

But it was already at the entry level.

In puppetry, there was a method of assembling puppets using materials.

Not only could it maintain the overall attributes of the Ink Armor Poison Spider, but he could also make some adjustments to maximize its effectiveness.

Of course, with his current level of puppetry, he naturally couldn't achieve that.

But once he had enough incense value and added some improvements, it wouldn't take long.

Once successfully refined, he would undoubtedly have a beast puppet by his side that was comparable to a mid-stage Foundation Building cultivator.

This was definitely more valuable than refining it into armor!

After having a preliminary idea for this second stage Ink Armor Poison Spider corpse, Chen Ling withdrew his divine sense from the storage bag.

The most urgent matter was still to deal with Li Yourong's two enemies.

And besides improving his cultivation, the only thing he could do was to enhance his magical treasures.

Li Yourong's original fire attribute sword had already been destroyed.

But he still had dozens of materials left from the More Treasure Pavilion's magical treasure refinement.

Among them were six materials for refining swords.

After weighing his options, Chen Ling decided to refine a top-grade magical treasure, the Thunderwood Sword, for Li Yourong.

Although Li Yourong had gold and fire attribute spiritual roots, using the Thunderwood Sword with a thunder attribute would only unleash 80% of its power at most.

But this material was Thunderwood that had been around for over five hundred years, and it naturally possessed thunder techniques, which could make up for the lack of power in this aspect.

"Fuse it with an eighth-level Explosive Flame Forbidden Technique. The power of this Thunderwood Sword is definitely worth looking forward to."

Various eighth-level forbidden techniques appeared in Chen Ling's mind as he began to conceive based on Li Yourong's characteristics and the attributes of the Thunderwood.

After nearly half an hour, Chen Ling finally settled on a rough plan.

He envisioned using the Thunderwood Sword as the main body, fusing it with a first-grade top-grade material, the Dark Blaze Crystal, as the primary component, and using the eighth-level Explosive Flame Forbidden Technique as the main technique, with the Thunder Light Forbidden Technique as an auxiliary, to create a unique top-grade sword.

Of course, the difficulty of two eighth-level forbidden techniques, coupled with limited materials on hand, made him unable to guarantee success.

"Thirteen incense values left. I should first improve my proficiency in refining tools to ensure that I can refine this sword."

"《Forty-Eight Refining Forbidden Techniques》, improve!"

Without hesitation, Chen Ling opened the attribute panel and added a point to the "+48 Refining Forbidden Techniques" section.

As the incense value on the panel continued to decrease, a familiar figure appeared in his sea of consciousness.

Bright spirit patterns flew out from the figure's hands, condensing into dazzling forbidden techniques that lingered in his sea of consciousness.

Soon, these bright lights completely merged into Chen Ling's sea of consciousness, and waves of enlightenment emerged in his mind.

He felt that he had naturally mastered these ninth-level forbidden techniques.

After a few breaths, the figure dissipated. He opened his eyes, a glimmer of brilliance flashing in his eyes. "Finally comprehended the ninth-level forbidden technique!"

He looked at the panel, and the incense value had already become 0. At the same time, in the skill column, there was "Forty-Eight Refining Forbidden Techniques" (50% proficiency).

The "+" sign behind it had also disappeared, indicating that he had completely mastered the "Forty-Eight Refining Forbidden Techniques" and there was no room for further improvement.

"I have completely mastered the 'Forty-Eight Refining Forbidden Techniques.' If I want to improve further, I can only cultivate spirit restrictions!"

He closed the panel, a look of joy on Chen Ling's face.

Mastering the ninth-level forbidden technique undoubtedly filled him with more confidence in refining the Thunderwood Sword.

As for the subsequent cultivation of refining techniques, he was not in a hurry. Without entering the later stage of refining, he simply couldn't refine spiritual weapons.

Chen Ling let out a breath and stretched his old waist.

Then he picked up the spiritual tea on the desk and took a big sip, feeling relaxed all over.

Mastering the ninth-level forbidden technique and becoming a true first-class master refiner would greatly reduce the pressure on him in terms of spirit stones.

Life was becoming more and more promising!

After finishing the tea in his cup, Chen Ling didn't rush to start refining the Thunderwood Sword.

Instead, he took out the Thunderwood Sword embryo and activated the Qingyan Art, sorting out the thunder and lightning power contained in the sword embryo.

After all, there was only one set of materials, and he had to ensure that nothing went wrong.

So he had to wait for Qin Yelian to come back and have enough second-grade fusion qi pills before he could start refining.

As the spiritual flame swept across the Thunderwood Sword, under the guidance of the spiritual flame, the Thunderwood Sword made crackling sounds.

...

The afternoon passed quickly.

In the evening.

Chen Ling finally walked out of the cultivation room. The sky was dark, and in the hall, under the shining crystal lights, it was particularly bright.

He stretched lazily. In the afternoon, he had perfectly integrated the Thunderlight Forbidden Technique and the Exploding Flame Forbidden Technique, and successfully depicted them on the spiritual board.

Two forbidden techniques, nearly 130 spiritual patterns, he meticulously depicted them.

"As long as Yelian's fusion qi pills are ready, I can start refining tonight."

At this moment, Chu Yu walked out of the kitchen with meat dishes.

The aroma of the meat filled the air, and Chen Ling couldn't help but swallow, feeling a sense of hunger.

"Husband, it's time to eat!" Chu Yu said with a smile.

He Yunxiu and the others were already waiting in the hall.

"Husband, these are the fusion qi pills I bought from my younger sister today. There are forty-eight second-grade fusion qi pills and thirty first-grade fusion qi pills."

Qin Yelian, who was setting up the tableware, saw Chen Ling and immediately took out thirteen bottles of fusion qi pills from her storage bag and placed them on the wooden table.

Chen Ling's face showed a happy expression. The quantity of these pills would be enough for his cultivation for a while.

He picked up five bottles of second-grade fusion qi pills and let the other three divide the rest equally.

"Husband, there is one more thing. The head of the family invites you to the Qin family tomorrow!"

Thinking about the calm attitude of the head of the family when talking to her, Qin Yelian couldn't help but feel excited.

It could be seen that the head of the family now attached great importance to her husband and addressed him with respect.

Master Chen!

This made her feel proud in front of many other clan members.

Originally, when she married Chen Ling, it was a reluctant and helpless move.

She didn't expect Chen Ling to be so outstanding. In just a few months, he was able to refine top-quality artifacts.

Even the high and mighty head of the Qin family took the initiative to invite him.

Looking at the envious eyes of the other clan members, she was also satisfied!

"The head of the Qin family is inviting me!"

Chen Ling's face showed a surprised expression.
