Two Realms: Don’t call me evil!

Su Jie asked for directions and finally found the Puppet Hall this time.

It was located in a corner of the mountain gate, which was not a problem. Many halls were dangerous, such as the Refining Hall. It was not uncommon for explosions to occur when refining failed.

"This place is really shabby!"

Su Jie looked at the Puppet Hall. It covered a large area, but it was very old inside.

The wooden red lacquer door had a mottled and peeling skin. Tenacious weeds grew in the gaps between the bluestone slabs in the courtyard. The iron railings were rusty, and the corners of the beams became a paradise for spider webs.

Creak!

Su Jie pushed open the half-closed door and walked in calmly.

"Brother Zhu, the poisonous demon vine has been extracted. See if you need to further dry it to extract the silk."

"Grind this black ice stone. We need powder to increase the puppet's resistance to cold."

"The arm of this puppet moves too roughly. Who is responsible for handling it? I can't even straighten my arm."

"Top-grade spiritual stone? Where can I find top-grade spiritual stone for you now? Just make do with medium-grade spiritual stone. The power is not enough."

A series of discussions came from the courtyard. More than 30 disciples were busy here. Some were processing raw materials, some were assembling puppets, and some were testing the performance of puppets.

Su Jie did not immediately go forward to interrupt, but stood aside and watched.

On a large flat site, these disciples had a clear division of labor. Relying on their physique far superior to that of ordinary people, they were calibrating and training a combat puppet as high as two meters and five.

This combat puppet was azure blue all over, with a round head, and gems were used as eyes and detection mechanisms.

The body is basically the same as that of an ordinary person, with wide feet and hands that can be freely extended. The materials used to make it are quite extraordinary, including purple rhyme golden mulberry wood, polar crystal, moon spirit treasure iron, poisonous demon vine, earth flame steel bone...

Su Jie swept his consciousness and found that the spiritual materials he recognized alone were worth more than two thousand spiritual stones.

If the seven or eight medium-grade spiritual stones for driving energy are counted, the cost of such a combat puppet is about three thousand spiritual stones, which can empty the entire fortune of an ordinary inner disciple.

Judging from the depression caused by stepping on the ground, the weight of such a combat puppet is nearly ten tons.

After the combat puppet was adjusted, the one who conducted the test was a shirtless, burly man with a very loud voice.

"Get out of the way, I want to test this angry flame puppet."

The burly man shouted, and the disciples around him ran away and watched from the other side.

Su Jie naturally mixed into the crowd and watched with others.

"Hah, Fury No. 1, target the stone peak in front."

The sturdy man pinched the spell, and the two gemstone eyes of the azure puppet shone with light. The heavy body took light steps and passed by at a speed almost close to the ground.

Teng!

A miniature array appeared on the surface of the puppet, and the azure flames burned fiercely, and the whole body was ignited. Then it waved its fist at a rockery more than ten meters high in front.

Boom.

The azure flame turned into a fire dragon, and instantly blew the rockery to pieces.

The large pieces of rubble flew all over the sky, causing a group of disciples to cheer happily.

Puff puff puff!

The puppet opened its mouth, and a series of fireballs were accurately ejected, hitting the large pieces of rubble that fell, further blasting them to pieces, which showed its long-range attack ability.

The next moment, the puppet hit a solid cast steel plate heavily, directly knocking the steel plate into a dent and deformation, but there was no damage to itself, and its defense ability was also good.

Finally, the puppet was tested for strength and speed, and it could run at a speed of more than 100 meters per second. If the consumption of spirit stone energy is ignored, its maximum speed can exceed 300 meters, and it can lift hundreds of tons of steel columns.

After the test, there was a burst of applause at the scene.

The disciples were very happy and discussed it.

"This angry flame puppet is really good. According to the combat power, it should have the combat power of a fourth-grade puppet, right?"

"It must be. Senior Brother Zhu is really amazing! This puppet is designed by him."

"Let's make more. At our speed, we can make one in half a month."

"You pay? The materials for this angry flame puppet are all collected by everyone's thrifty living."

"Uh."

At the end of the discussion, everyone's interest was a little low again.

"I can sponsor one or two."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Who, who wants to sponsor us?"

The disciples looked around and soon found Su Jie who was speaking.

"Who are you?"

The disciples were surprised to find a stranger in the team.

"Your sense of confidentiality is totally bad!"

Su Jie shook his head. These disciples probably haven't left the Puppet Hall for a few days. They stayed here to build the Angry Flame Puppet and didn't know that Su Jie had been promoted to the Secret Treasure Realm.

"Wait, you are Brother Su."

Suddenly, a disciple recognized Su Jie's face. As the first disciple, his face was highly recognizable in Guiling Palace. Even these disciples who stayed in the Puppet Hall for research all day had seen Su Jie.

"Elder Su."

At the same time, the strong man who had just tested the Angry Flame Puppet suddenly shouted, his face full of shock.

"Ah! Elder?"

The surrounding disciples were all stunned, their eyes full of astonishment.

"Brother Su has been promoted to the Secret Treasure Realm, and when he broke through, he also triggered a strange phenomenon in the world. I saw it when I went out before."

The brawny disciple opened his mouth to explain, then approached Su Jie and said curiously: "Elder Su, I am Zhu Changqi, an inner disciple, and also the senior brother of the Puppet Hall. I have been managing this place since Master left. I didn't know you were here this time. yes……"

Zhu Changqi was confused. He didn't hear that Master Peng Qin'an had any interaction with Su Jie during his lifetime!

No, although he has no friendship with Su Jie, his master is very close to Mr. Qiu, and he still owes money.

And Su Jie is a disciple of Qiu Laodao, could he be here...

Zhu Changqi's face became embarrassed, and he said with a stiff face: "That... that Elder Su, we really have no money now, can you please let us slow down for a while."

Seeing Su Jie sizing up the Raging Flame Puppet again, Zhu Changqi gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said with reluctance: "Elder Su, if you like this puppet, use it to offset part of the bill first."

When the disciples around him heard this, their faces were filled with reluctance.

This puppet had been created after Peng Qin'an's death and they had gone through a lot of hard work.

Seeing that it is about to be confiscated before it can be warmed up, who would be willing to do this?

But facing Su Jie, a young elder with no bright future, who dares to say no? After all, their Puppet Hall does owe Qiu Laodao's master money and has not repaid it.

Su Jie had a playful smile on his face, knowing that they had misunderstood his purpose, so he reached out and squeezed Zhu Changqi's shoulder.

"Well, my cultivation at the eighth level of Yunling Realm is pretty good."

When Zhu Changqi heard this, his body suddenly trembled. He thought of those demon cultivators in the sect who used living people to feed insects and practiced the human insect sacrifice method, and his face turned pale.

Su Jie must not be satisfied with getting a battle puppet and want to use him as a supplement.

Now that his master Peng Qin'an has died, no one can help him.

"Su...Elder Su, my strength is definitely not worth mentioning to you. It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning at all."

Zhu Changqi wanted to retreat, but his shoulders seemed to be grasped by steel pliers and he could not move at all.

"No, I'm very optimistic about you."

As soon as Su Jie said these words, Zhu Changqi was so frightened that his legs went weak and his face turned pale.

Su Jie saw Zhu Changqi's expression and stopped teasing him. He chuckled and said, "Okay, I'm kidding you. Let me correct your mistake. Don't call me Elder Su. You should call me Hall Master."

"Hall Master?"

Zhu Changqi stared at Su Jie blankly. After a while, he finally came to his senses. His pupils were shaking and his mouth was wide open. He realized that Su Jie was not here to collect debts.

"Yes, starting from today, I, Su Jie, will serve as the leader of the Puppet Hall."

The token representing the identity of the leader of the Puppet Hall was held high by Su Jie. The token revealed majesty and a special magic circle, which could not be forged.

After all the disciples were stunned, they all knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "Disciples of the Puppet Hall, pay homage to the Master."

At this time, the eyes of these disciples were extremely excited, including Zhu Changqi, who was scared just now, and his face was also filled with excitement.

The Puppet Hall has Su Jie, a master of the secret realm, and will have someone to rely on in the future.

Since the fall of Peng Qin'an, the life of the Puppet Hall has become more and more miserable day by day. It was not welcomed in the first place, but now it does not even have a secret realm. You can imagine the situation.

"No, tell me about the Puppet Hall."

Su Jie waved his hand. He didn't like these false courtesy.

"Hall Master, the Puppet Hall currently occupies an area of ​​130 acres, with a total of 36 disciples and more than 150 ordinary handymen. Except for me, who is an inner disciple, the other disciples are all outer disciples.

In addition, the Puppet Hall currently owns one puppet, which is the current Furious Flame No. 1, and has approximately more than a thousand spiritual stones in its name. "

Zhu Changqi quickly reported the current situation of the Puppet Hall.

"Elder Peng didn't leave you any legacy?"

Su Jie said suspiciously, this is too poor, and he is still a Tangtou after all.

Zhu Changqi smiled bitterly and said: "Our Puppet Hall has always been operating with debt. After the death of Master, many creditors came to the door, and the remaining spiritual materials and puppets in the Puppet Hall were paid."

Speaking of these sad things, Zhu Changqi looked helpless.

In the past, for Peng Qin'an's sake, others were still willing to pay on credit.

Now that Peng Qin'an has died, it's just a matter of time. He, an inner disciple, is completely unworthy in the eyes of those creditors.

Fortunately, now we have Su Jie, otherwise it would be quite normal for the Puppet Hall to go bankrupt and close down one day.

"It seems that the stall I took over will start from scratch."

Su Jie smiled, having already anticipated the difficulties that the Puppet Hall would face.

"Master still has assets left behind, which are the design drawings of various puppets, including the design concept drawings of the seventh-grade puppets. However, we have no money, no materials, and our skills are not good enough to reproduce them."

Zhu Changqi was very ashamed and stumped by money.

"Which technique is practiced in the Puppet Hall?"

"This is the "Yin Shen Puppet Technique". It is also called puppet manipulation in the outside world. It uses spiritual materials as the foundation and spiritual stones as kinetic energy. It uses the blood, soul and Yin vein breath of the monks as remote control, using spiritual power. Control various combat puppets.”

Zhu Changqi took out a pamphlet and jade slips. The former was Peng Qin'an's manuscript, which contained many annotations and reading experiences left by Peng Qin'an.

The latter is the fundamental method of "Yin Shen Puppet Technique", and it is also the key to making the puppet move.

After Su Jie took it, he absorbed the knowledge inside. The content was much more than he imagined.

As for the puppet material alone, the various toughness, strength, tension, stretch resistance, etc. of the spiritual material must be considered.

Some spiritual materials with attributes, such as flame crystals, will continue to glow and heat, and the conflict and interference of these additional abilities must also be considered.

This is just the beginning. These spiritual materials must be combined cleverly through design, combined with spiritual stones as power output, and micro arrays must be burned internally to establish corresponding energy transmission channels.

In order for the combat puppet to have a certain degree of combat intelligence, it is necessary to prepare a kind of divine heart stone in advance, and input a lot of corresponding combat data into the puppet in the form of jade slips.

In this way, when the puppet technique controls multiple puppets to fight, there will be no situation where you are overwhelmed.

After doing all this, you will be a real puppet.

Then he uses his blood to integrate his breath into the puppet, so that he can control it through the air with spiritual power.

Su Jie's head suddenly swelled. This amount of knowledge was really huge. In Su Jie's understanding, it required a lot of knowledge in materials science, dynamics, electronic technology, automation control, etc. It was extremely complicated.

Being able to design a combat puppet on your own is definitely a talent!

"Hall Master, which sect of puppetry did you learn before?"

Zhu Changqi curiously asked that Peng Qin'an's lineage of Yin Shen puppet skills had existed in Guiling Palace before. Zhu Changqi thought that if Su Jie was willing to become the master of the Puppet Hall, he must have mastered the puppet skills.

"I've never learned puppetry before."

Su Jie shook his head.

"Well!"

Zhu Changqi's mouth twitched, and the disciples around him were also confused.

Who would have thought that Su Jie, the leader of the Puppet Hall, had never learned the art of puppetry.

Their Puppet Hall was such a marginal department, and there was no money to be made. Everyone couldn't figure out why Su Jie wanted to be the leader of the Puppet Hall.

"Master, with your talent, you will definitely be able to learn the puppetry technique easily. I will also give you the scriptures and puppet designs left by the master. You will definitely be able to carry forward our puppet hall."

After Zhu Changqi was stunned, he immediately changed his words and began to praise.

Regardless of whether Su Jie knew puppetry before, with Su Jie sitting in the puppet hall, his face alone was enough to intimidate a group of young people.

Nowadays, the Guiling Hall, which is in ruins and waiting to be renovated, is unsustainable. It is too late to be happy that it can be seen in the secret realm.

"Haha, that's it. There's no point in flattering. I'll go back and study the "Yin Shen Puppet Technique" for a few days. Now show me around this puppet hall."

Su Jie didn't care about other people's opinions. He already had some ideas in his heart.

Next, Su Jie visited the Puppet Hall and got a good understanding of his future territory.

Afterwards, he gave a banquet to the 36 disciples of the Puppet Hall, and then went back to study the puppetry technique.
