Chapter 119 Nine Floors (Congratulations to Baiyin!)
Underground caves.
Crash!
As a mature monster tree, after discovering that the cave has begun to narrow, it has learned to use its roots to continuously dig downwards, and at the same time throw a large amount of earth into the lake.
Fang Xi didn't let the demon tree go to learn construction techniques, but just pointed out a few places, let the demon tree do a good job of supporting and strengthening, don't dig up the emerald cliff and let it do its own thing.
At this time, he was sizing up the 'human puppet' in front of him!
This puppet looks exactly like Mu Wen, with a gray complexion, and even some wooden texture on the surface of the skin.
From time to time, you can see some tree roots, from which people get in and out of the seven orifices.
"Get up!"
"go ahead!"
"Jump!"
Fang Xi is not proficient in puppetry, but uses the demon tree's ability to control demon servants for secondary control.
It is equivalent to using the insect king to control the slave insects, which feels a bit laggy and insensitive.
"Luck!"
But at this moment, Fang Xi moved her eyes and gave an order.
Mu Wen pinched the magic formula, a layer of spiritual light appeared on the surface of the body, bursting out the mana fluctuations of the five-level series of refining qi!
"This person originally had the sixth level of Qi refining, but after being made into a puppet, his realm fell, and he only had the fifth level of Qi refining!"
Fang Xi thought about it and gave the order again.
Whoosh!
Mu Wen pinched the spell, and the black dagger roared, turned into a black light and shot out, sinking deep into the rock wall!
"Does he really retain his cultivation and still have the ability to manipulate magical artifacts?"
Regarding this point, Fang Xi was very pleasantly surprised.
In this way, doesn't it mean that he can control the dense army of "human puppets"?
If many monks in the late stage of Qi refining form a formation, they can fight even if they build a foundation!
But the next moment, Fang Xi realized something was wrong.
Mu Wen's technique of operating the magic weapon is very sluggish, lacking agility and change, which is a terrible thing in battle.
‘It feels like... even if he has the fifth level of Qi Refining, he might not be able to defeat Hai Dagui...and it is too troublesome that I need to control and order all the time. '
'The attack power is five levels of Qi refining, but the defense is too bad. After all, it is a human body, let alone dodge, and I have to pay attention to it all the time... But I am indirectly controlling it through the demon tree, and the delay is terrible... '
At this time, Fang Xi also felt the difference between his wooden puppet technique and the orthodox puppet technique.
The orthodox puppet art inheritance not only has the method of making puppets, but also the means of manipulating puppets to fight the enemy!
Among them, even the means of manipulating puppets is more important!
After all, a monk's spiritual or spiritual knowledge is limited, and non-puppet masters can manipulate at most one or two puppets.
But the puppet master can distract his mind and manipulate an army of puppets!
It is even possible to inject 'puppets' into high-level puppets, giving them a certain amount of intelligence!
"Actually, a strong spiritual consciousness is a great bonus to puppet art, but unfortunately I have never acquired the inheritance of puppet art..."
There may be Lingkongfang City, but Fang Xi can't go there at this time!
After some experiments, Fang Xi confirmed the detailed data of the human puppet Mu Wen, and shook his head, feeling rather regretful.
The attack is too rigid, and there is a delay in giving orders...
Manipulating puppets with the orthodox puppet art is completely different.
Moreover, once it is made into a "human puppet", it will no longer be able to practice and improve.
"After all, I am indirectly controlled through the demon tree, and I can't do many fine operations of the puppet master to manipulate the puppets. It is also understandable, understandable... I will find a puppet art to practice a little or two in the future, or it may make up for it..."
"But the 'wooden puppet technique' is not without benefits. The first is the huge number. As long as there are enough demon tree seeds, you can manipulate as many as you want!"
"Second, the materials used are simple, as long as a complete corpse is enough... It is not a dream to form an army of monks in the future."
Fang Xi rubbed her chin, feeling that if she continued like this, she would never return on the road of magic cultivation, and eventually everyone in the world of cultivating immortals would shout and beat her.
"Actually, you can think in another direction. The quality of human puppets made by monks is not good, but the 'beast puppets' made by monsters are very good!"
Because most monsters have rough skin and thick flesh, and higher defense power, these characteristics can be retained after being made into puppets!
In this way, the command conveyed can be as simple as possible!
Moreover, the monster material is strong, not easy to damage, and has a high fault tolerance rate!
"An army of puppet beasts? It's a direction..."
Fang Xi rubbed his chin: "We also need to consider the issue of the outflow of demon tree seeds. You can use puppetry to create some organs inside the puppet. Once the puppet is damaged, directly destroy the demon tree seed?"
"This plan is quite good, only one puppet technique is missing..."
Although the demon tree species has been downgraded, Fang Xi still doesn't want the seeds to flow out.
I thought about it at this time, and suddenly felt that there was a lot to do, and I was going to put this plan in the backup.
After all, he can't go out to collect a large number of fresh monster corpses now.
"As for you?"
"From today onwards, you will be called 'Jia Yi', and you will be responsible for guarding the underground cave."
Jiayi immediately stood on the edge of the cave wall, like a statue...
…
As for the news about the head of the Mu family, no one paid attention to it on Peach Blossom Island soon.
The world of cultivating immortals is still very realistic. If a loser leaves his hometown, unless there is a return of the king one day, he will only be gradually forgotten by everyone.
While some members of the Mu family left Peach Blossom Island, some members continued to work **** Peach Blossom Island, and returned to the state of rootless duckweed...
The one more famous than Mu Wen is undoubtedly the 'Silver Armored Devil'!
Because this person escaped from the Foundation Establishment cultivator many times, his fame grew, and he even formed a robbery repair force, and fought against the joint law enforcement team of the Thirty-six Islands Alliance one after another, killing quite a lot!
Nowadays, a bad name can almost stop a child from crying at night!
But for a monk who is devoted to shrinking and never going to the market, no matter how bad his reputation is, that's it.
On the contrary, Hai Dagui is still worrying about his friend Lu Kuo day and night, praying that he will not face the Silver Armored Demon...
…
Five years later.
In the training room.
Fang Xi practiced the 'Changchun Jue' technique silently, feeling the surge of mana in the sea of energy in the dantian, overflowing automatically, opening up a new channel of operation.
This breakthrough is natural, very smooth and silky.
"Twenty years of planting trees, I am forty-three years old this year, breaking through the ninth level of Qi refining!"
Fang Xi is quite satisfied with her progress.
Breaking through the first level of cultivation in five years was mainly hindered by the aura environment of Emerald Cliff.
The Emerald Cliff's spiritual veins just don't flow in, and through the 'gathering spirit' effect of the small cloud and rain array, the spiritual environment in the training room can barely be raised to the first-order low-grade.
For late-stage Qi refining monks, at least one high-grade spiritual vein is considered suitable for cultivation.
Besides, Fang Xi didn't take many magic power-enhancing pills.
After all, if you swallow too many pills, your foundation will become unstable, which will have a slight impact on breaking through the big realm in the future.
"In addition, alchemy has been steadily promoted to the first-level top-grade, but the formation method has been hovering in the middle-grade, trapped in a pass."
Regarding this, Fang Xi was also very helpless.
When he was studying the formation, he encountered a difficult problem, so he could only think hard.
On the contrary, as long as there are enough materials for alchemy, with his current state of spiritual consciousness, it is enough to push it all the way, at least in the elixir of the qi refining period...
Therefore, Fang Xi has been focusing on alchemy in recent years, putting formations in the second place.
As for the way of talismans? But he was promoted to the first-level mid-level unknowingly, and he didn't know if he could comprehend the effect of the silver incomplete runes condensed by Yimu Dharma Body every day. Anyway, Fang Xi felt that he was particularly talented in drawing wood-type talismans, and his success rate was higher than other talismans. higher.
The final weapon refining technique is still not popular... It has been completely abandoned.
Fang Xi walked out of the training room and looked at the blue-and-white scarabs. Now in the insect room, there were jasper and blue-and-white beetles everywhere, and there was no trace of the black-striped scarabs anymore.
Even the insect king has been promoted to the first-tier mid-tier due to his long-term consumption of "animal food pills"!
The wine cellar is also full of all kinds of spirit wine, the age ranges from one year to several years, and the longest batch has been brewing for twenty years!
The color of this kind of spiritual wine is like amber, and you can almost pick out strands with chopsticks. It is the favorite of some immortal cultivators who are greedy for what is in the cup!
Even if the grade is not high, it can win by virtue of taste and sell a lot of spirit stones.
On the Emerald Cliff, a total of 20 mu of spiritual fields of various kinds have been cultivated, and there are still 5 mu of medicinal fields.
Among them, the oldest batch of 'Lifeblood Grass' and 'Snake Orchid Fruit' have been used for ten years, so they can be used directly to sell spirit stones, and they can also be used as supplementary materials for some first-tier middle-grade or even top-grade pills.
"So, as long as a cultivator owns a spiritual land, instead of fighting and killing, and concentrates on farming, in fact, the accumulation of resources is quite fast..."
Fang Xi came to the edge of the pond after patrolling everywhere, with a fierce look in his eyes.
The big herring is still a first-tier mid-grade even now!
"The ten-year period has come, and if you can't grasp the last chance, you can only blame yourself!"
He drew out the golden dragon knife, and was about to send the big herring on the road with one knife.
Suddenly!
The big herring leaps forward, overflowing with demonic aura, drawing the aura around it, forming a small vortex!
"This is...advanced?"
The corners of Fang Xi's eyes twitched slightly: "Is it true that the limit is reached before breaking through? Is this fish meaner than me?"
Just as he was feeling, the big herring devoured a lot of spiritual energy, and its size soared to more than two meters long. Even the species seemed to have changed, and it was closer to the slender catfish and eel, and the two blue dragon whiskers became more and more slender. …
"The top-ranked sapphire carp king, nicknamed 'Little Qinglong'..."
Looking at the big herring that looks more like a blue water snake, Fang Xi smiled grimly: "I have finally advanced... I have wanted to drink 'Qinglong Soup' for a long time!"
Wow!
The big herring, which was proud of itself in mid-air, was dumbfounded, and fell directly into the pond, splashing a lot of water.
Didn't you say that you can avoid death if you advance well?
Why do you want to use it to stew?
Could this be fate? !
Compared to the cunning Terran, it is still too naive!
