Chapter 296 Puppet Clone
Qizhen building, alchemy room.
Grandma Yun rushed over after hearing the news, and appraised the three Foundation Establishment Pills that Lu Changan had refined.
"They are all genuine foundation building pills, with very few impurities. Master Xu has superb alchemy skills, which I admire."
Grandma Yun praised it endlessly.
The Yun brothers and sisters were delighted with smiles on their faces.
One alchemy, both brothers and sisters got the foundation building pill. Not only save money and time, but also reduce risk.
"Master Xu, this is your reward."
Grandma Yun accepted two Foundation Establishment Pills, and handed the other one to Lu Changan.
This is a prior agreement.
If three Foundation Establishment Pills are refined, Lu Changan will take one of them as a reward.
After this alchemy, the two sides got to know each other and established initial trust.
Lu Changan's alchemy skills were recognized by Granny Yun.
The three foundation building pills are of high quality, and the speed of alchemy is fast and stable.
With such skill, at least a quasi-third-tier alchemist.
Moreover, Xu Zhenren claimed that he could still refine a small number of third-order elixirs, but the success rate was not high.
Qizhen Building, the living room on the first floor.
Grandma Yun made tea for Lu Changan herself, and chatted for a while.
During the period, Grandma Yun remained calm and looked at Mr. Xu, making sure that the latter's appearance and charm were not any old people in her memory.
"Could it be the illusory reincarnation past life?"
Grandma Yun was uncertain.
However, in reincarnation, the next life is equal to a new life, and it doesn't matter even the closest relatives, and they may even kill each other.
Therefore, it is meaningless to search for past lives.
Unless it can break the mystery of the womb and awaken the memory of the previous life.
But only those who are powerful, or those who practice reincarnation attributes can do this.
Real person Xu, as a real person of alchemy, a quasi-third-level alchemist, must be at least one or two hundred years old.
Li Huo's soul lamp went out and fell for decades, and his age was completely out of date.
"This person is elegant and easy-going, with a really kind face, and he is easy to please most people..."
During the conversation, Granny Yun became more and more comfortable looking at her, and she was willing to talk with her.
Whether it is a fate of reincarnation, or a real fate, it is a good thing, this person is worth wooing.
Lu Changan didn't want to have an in-depth communication with Granny Yun, but the other party was too interested in talking.
He managed to get to the point:
"Treasurer Yun, I heard from Yun Ling earlier that if this alchemy is successful, would you recommend a comfortable and free third-order spiritual vein dojo for Xu?"
Grandma Yun was inexplicably annoyed, she could see that Lu Changan didn't want to talk too much with this old woman.
She mused: "It is true that there is such a thing, and the old man will help to introduce it. But whether it can be successful or not depends on Xu Zhenren's skills and character."
"Mr. Xu's skills are recognized by the old man. In the end, it depends on the opinion of the real old friend of the old man. Because he is in charge of the spiritual vein dojo."
"That spiritual vein dojo is in Heyuan Oasis? Which faction owns it?"
Lu Changan asked.
"It's in the Heyuan Oasis. That ashram doesn't belong to a certain faction. It doesn't need Master Xu to work hard, and there are not so many constraints. Only Master Xu can steadily complete some alchemy commissions, train some medicine boys, and help take care of them. Herbs..."
The conditions Granny Yun said made Lu Changan tempted.
He reckoned that it should be a small private third-order spiritual vein dojo.
In addition to grades, spiritual veins are also divided into scales.
The higher the grade of the spiritual pulse, the larger the scale.
Third-order spiritual veins also have small ones, most of which are acquired, not congenital.
Like Jinyun Valley's medium and large third-order spiritual veins, it is not a problem to supply seven or eight real pills for cultivation at the same time.
"How long will it take before we have accurate news."
Lu Changan's other two options are not as good as this one.
"That old friend of the old man will not return to Heyuan Oasis in about half a year. If Master Xu has no better choice, you might as well wait."
"Okay, then half a year."
Lu Changan agreed.
He reckoned that half a year was just Yun Yan's rhetoric.
During this period of time, Yun Yan and that old friend will probably investigate Xu Zhenren's origin and examine his character.
…
the next day.
Lu Changan rented a small private courtyard in Fangshi for half a year, which is more cost-effective than an inn and more private.
For half a year, he didn't have a third-order spiritual vein, but only enjoyed a second-order spiritual vein. Lu Changan used Lingshi elixir as a supplement.
However, spirit stone elixir cannot be relied on for a long time, otherwise it will reduce the monk's sense of heaven and earth and kill his own potential.
Moreover, the cost is more than ten times more expensive than renting a spiritual vein.
For half a year, Lu Changan focused on studying "Record of Transforming Spiritual Puppets" and Ada Wan's puppet experience to promote his skills and inspiration.
The female puppet with a human face is the crystallization of Ada Maru's lifelong research.
Just this foreign spirit puppet has benefited Lu Changan a lot.
Human-faced dragon girl can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, about 70% complete, with some defects, the battle cannot last long, and it is prone to failure.
In addition, the independent consciousness of the human-faced dragon puppet Zhu Ling has a certain repulsion to Lu Changan's manipulation, and he is restrained.
After all, the consciousness of the puppet's spirit injection was once the sister who fell in love with Adamaru.
Fortunately, Lu Changan did not intend to use "her" to fight, it was purely used as a research object.
Through studying this strange spirit puppet, Lu Changan quickly understood the method of injecting spirits in "Record of Transforming Spiritual Puppets".
In less than a month, he successfully studied.
After all, Lu Changan has the vision consciousness of a Nascent Soul, a strong spiritual consciousness, and his puppet skills are close to the third-order middle-grade.
Learned the method of puppet injection, Lu Changan wanted to find a test product.
It needs to refine the living soul, and the effect is better for intelligent humans, and the methods are cruel.
Although Lu Changan is not a benevolent person, he would not kill innocent people of the same kind indiscriminately without benefit or grievance.
He sent the rock rat to the desert, caught some sand beasts with higher spiritual intelligence, and collected some sand beast souls through the soul raising ring.
Afterwards, refine the soul of the sand beast and infuse it into the eliminated second-order puppets.
When refining, erase the memory of the consciousness that resists the disadvantage, and finally leave a relatively clean seedling of consciousness.
After many experiments, one or two cases were successful.
Lu Changan discovered the flaws and limitations of this kind of refining and infusion.
One is the refining process, which may make the living soul unable to bear the torture and completely collapse.
The higher the spiritual intelligence, the stronger the resistance.
Secondly, after refining and infusing the spirit into the puppet, it still needs to go through a long period of training and training.
If the time of training and training is long enough, the consciousness and wisdom in the puppet will be higher, and its judgment will be more rational, and its combat strength may exceed that of monks of the same level.
Thus, the two cases in which Lu Changan successfully injected spirits were dull, and the consciousness level of independent fighting was very weak.
"Ada Wan's success is due to trickery. His own sister, who is in love with him, is willing to cooperate..."
Lu Changan saw the reason.
Ada Wan has tricks, and so does Lu Changan.
The first, second, and fourth lives in the Jiuyin Tablet are all ready-made soul forms, and after being washed by the reincarnation power of the Jiuyin Tablet, they are extremely pure.
As for the soul refined through spirit injection, no matter how refined it is, there will be some residual obsessions left in life.
In the following time, Lu Changan tried to guide the shadow of the soul of the first life, refining and injecting the spirit into the puppet.
The shadow of the soul of the first life lights up extremely fast.
Nourished by the soul of the golden core realm, it can be lit up in a day at most.
The previous few attempts all ended in failure.
The soul shadow of the first life, after leaving Lu Changan's body, passed away at an accelerated speed.
The process of merging and running in with the puppet was not so smooth, and it collapsed soon after.
Lu Changan understands that the physical body of the previous life and this life are perfectly compatible, and there is no such blessing for other physical bodies.
Seeing this, Lu Changan directly refined the shadow of the soul in his body, compressing and purifying it.
It is like refining a magic weapon, imprinting the imprint of one's own spiritual consciousness.
The control hub of the puppet carrier is also refined, leaving a mark of spiritual consciousness.
Finally, the compressed and purified soul shadow was transformed into a mung bean-sized soul light bead, which was integrated into the second-order puppet carrier.
It worked this time!
The shadow of the soul of the first life, refined and injected into the puppet.
"Huh!"
Lu Changan unexpectedly discovered that the second-order tortoise puppet after the spirit injection was like his flesh and blood clone.
With a thought, the turtle puppet flexibly made various precise movements.
Sequential backflips, death spins, turtle sumo...
Not only wielding it like an arm, but Lu Changan's own spiritual consciousness consumption is negligible.
After two months of trying, Lu Changan was excited.
The compressed and refined first-life infusion is supplied with the spiritual power of the puppet crystals. As long as there is no violent fighting, it can be stored for a long time.
One night.
Lu Changan controlled the puppet of the first spiritual injection in the wilderness, far away.
As a result, this puppet can be manipulated like an arm by his thoughts within a range of hundreds of miles, like a remote clone.
Moreover, it can also share the senses of the puppet.
"Puppet incarnation!"
Lu Changan was pleasantly surprised, and an idea popped up in his mind.
The spirit puppet created by Ada Wan does not have this kind of control like a flesh and blood arm, nor can it be controlled from such a long distance.
Lu Changan speculates that the target of the spirit injection refining is the soul form of his previous life, which is equivalent to another self!
Therefore, after the spirit has been injected into the puppet, there is a similar effect of the "incarnation outside the body" supernatural power.
But there are differences.
Lu Changan's puppet clone has no self-awareness and needs remote control.
This state is also known as the distraction period, which can separate part of the consciousness and thoughts independently without affecting the original source of the soul.
Avatars like that have supernatural powers, have self-awareness, and can explore outside, fight martial arts, and perform complex tasks.
It is very difficult to cultivate incarnation supernatural powers in the realm below the transformation of the gods.
Because, you have to bear the consequences of splitting the consciousness of the soul, hurting the soul, and affecting life span and potential.
Even if the legendary "Second Nascent Soul" is shaped by using foreign objects, the consciousness must still be split, the soul of the deity will be damaged, and a little soul origin will be lost.
The loss of soul origin, involving the potential of life, is almost permanently irrecoverable.
This is also why, very few people in the Nascent Soul stage have cultivated into incarnations.
There are very few cultivation avatars, most of them are castrated versions, with greatly reduced supernatural powers, and there are many restrictions.
Lu Changan's fourth generation, consulted relevant classics and records.
Even in the stage of transformation, there are risks in playing transformation.
Once the deity of Huashen is injured and his strength drops, or the avatar gets some great opportunity, and his strength surpasses the deity, there is a risk of turning back.
Instances like this have happened more than once or twice in Tianheng Continent since ancient times.
"Although my puppet clone is far inferior to that of Huashen Tianjun, it only incorporates the soul of the first life."
"If it is integrated into the second life's alchemy peak, the fourth life's Nascent Soul, the control distance may be farther and the strength stronger."
Lu Changan couldn't help looking forward to a scenario:
He himself hid in Feng Yuan Country, remotely controlled the powerful puppet possessed by the Fourth World, and returned to the Guardian League and Liang Guoxiu Immortal Realm to purchase resources, inquire about intelligence, and assassinate enemies.
Of course, this is just a theoretical reverie, in fact there are many difficulties.
For example, the puppets created must be realistic enough, and their appearance and speech are indistinguishable from those of humans.
The puppet inheritance that Lu Changan obtained in the memory of the fourth generation is quite satisfactory, without the cutting-edge skills in this subdivided field.
Ada Wan has some reserves of such skills.
However, as long as the puppet is close, it is easy to see the flaws, and it can only deceive low-level monks.
"To create a perfect puppet avatar and go out and walk for me, you must obtain the core puppet skills of Qianjijiao."
Lu Changan intends to settle down in Fengyuan Country and advance to the mid-stage of alchemy before considering this matter.
…
Lu Changan spent the agreed six months to the fullest.
The current puppet avatar simply controls a long-range large toy, and its practicality is not as good as that of a rock mouse.
Until this day, Yunling came to visit and interrupted Lu Changan's study.
This time, Yun Ling came alone, and her elder brother Yun Hao is currently in retreat, preparing to build a foundation.
"Master Xu, grandma asked me to come over."
Yun Ling wore a long pink and white dress, bowed her lapel, and her voice was as sweet as a bell.
Lu Changan looked at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with starry eyes and white teeth, willow slender waist, delicate snow skin, and pink lip liner, all of which were pure and bright.
The appearance of this girl is very different from that of Guan Qiaozhi, but the characteristics of an eighteen-year-old girl are similar, and her appearance and temperament are more outstanding.
"There is no need to be too polite, what does Shopkeeper Yun have to say?"
Lu Changan waved his hand in an easy-going tone.
Yun Ling paid a visit alone, and seemed a little embarrassed in front of Master Jiedan.
The clear eyes glanced at the elegant man, then lowered his head, not daring to look directly.
"This is a token from Grandma to you."
Yun Ling took out a purple jade pendant and presented it to Lu Changan with a serious expression.
Looking at Xianyu Su's hand who is close at hand.
If Lu Changan glanced at her meaningfully, the alchemy in his hand surged, and he took the jade pendant into his hand.
After a little contact with the spiritual consciousness, a simple map appeared in the jade pendant, marking a certain location on the Heyuan Oasis.
When Lu Changan felt the jade pendant, Yun Ling's face turned slightly rosy.
The reason why I was nervous when I visited Master Xu this time was because she had the intention of probing, and this little cleverness seemed to be discovered by the seniors.
The three previous meetings, the congenial and cordial feeling made Yuling puzzled and curious.
In the first transaction in the stall area, Lu Changan let her take advantage, which was somewhat strange.
Grandma once warned her that there are no benefits for no reason in the world, especially the benefits given by those men.
Grandma also said a law: No matter young men, middle-aged people, or old people, they all have an eternal heart, and that is to like young and beautiful women.
Lu Changan's behavior that day inevitably made Yuling suspect that this senior really had some thoughts about her.
She decided to test it out: If this real person Xu touched her hand while receiving the token, it would be with ulterior motives, and it was what her brother said, "Old cows eat tender grass".
Grandma seems to be a little interested in Xu Zhenren, and she has no objection to it.
If Xu Zhenren behaved wretchedly, even if he got the token and went to the dojo, he would not get consent.
Of course, Yunling is willing to sacrifice a little beauty, mainly because she has a good sense of the elegant and handsome Xu Zhenren.
If she really looked seventy and eighty, she would definitely not take action.
The result of a trial.
Yun Ling was briefly nervous and pleasantly surprised, and then felt a little inexplicably disappointed.
"Okay, I got it."
Lu Changan nodded, and put away the purple jade pendant.
"It's nothing, you can go back."
Looking at the hesitant Yun Ling, Lu Changan sent her away.
Boom boom!
Just as the girl's back was about to disappear at the gate of the courtyard, there was movement in Lu Changan's spiritual pet bag.
Xuan water turtle protested.
It wanted to come out to meet and play with Yunling, but Lu Changan did not agree.
"You lazy bastard, want to rebel?"
"I haven't learned a mere shapeshifting technique, and want to continue the frontier?"
Lu Changan reprimanded and complained.
In the spirit pet bag, Xuanshuigui has a grievance expression, and bubbles are spitting out of his mouth.
Xuan water turtle has a lazy personality and is not aggressive.
Unlike the ground rock mouse, he studied diligently. He studied at the Beast Master Zhou's family back then, and learned the "shape-changing technique" very early, including some monster fighting techniques and secret techniques.
The inheritance of beast control among the trophies of the real Yellow Wolf, and the knowledge of secret techniques for training pets, do not need Lu Changan's supervision, and the rock mouse trains itself.
…
Lu Changan flew out of Fangshi, followed the location marked on the jade pendant, and flew to a forested area on the northwest side of the oasis.
Before it was settled, the jade pendant in his hand was flowing with purple crystal patterns.
Hum!
Near the mountain forest, a transparent white light flashed across the void.
Suddenly, an antique manor covering an area of several tens of acres came into Lu Changan's vision.
The third-order phantom array covering this place distorts the senses of spiritual consciousness.
Even using Sumeru magic, the manor, which covers an area of tens of acres, actually occupies a few acres of land in the Heyuan Oasis.
"Small corner, there is a hole in the sky."
Lu Changan looked at the scenery in the manor, the surrounding herbs and spiritual trees formed a garden, colorful. There are mountains and water inside, pools, pavilions, and winding paths.
It is a quiet and elegant private ashram.
The small spiritual veins and the spiritual pressure emitted can reach the third level, which is obviously acquired.
"Master Xu, Duan has been waiting in Shanshui Manor for a long time."
In front of the mansion with the water view of the manor, sitting cross-legged is a bloated elder in a toga who is about fifty years old.
The man smiled loudly and waved his wide sleeves.
The formation of Shanshui Manor opens a gate of nothingness, and invites Lu Changan to enter.
Judging from the faint fluctuations in alchemy, this mysterious old man with the surname is at least a true alchemy monk, not even in the early stage of alchemy.
If it is an ordinary fake real person, he may not dare to enter rashly.
If you don’t dare to enter, if you are coy, you will be looked down upon by the other party, and the recommendation matter may be dropped.
"Huh? So it's this grandson!"
Lu Changan took a look around, narrowing his eyes slightly. Although the appearance of the robed elder has been adjusted, the mana breath cannot be faked.
It's not that he cursed in his heart.
This elder with the "duan surname" who has cultivated alchemy is the grandson of the fourth generation.
"Let Duan wait for a long time."
Lu Changan hesitated for a while, and looked around. This place is not an ashram isolated from the world.
He took a deep breath and flew into Shanshui Manor.
Seeing Lu Changan's serious expression, the elder Duan stroking his beard and smiling slightly approvingly.
In the past six months, he investigated the origin of Xu Zhenren, and it was rumored that he was robbed and killed in the deserted city of Scorpio.
The next time, I will appear in the Heyuan oasis in poverty.
"Really Xu, please sit down. If you have any doubts, you can ask."
The old sleeve robe was slightly raised, and a futon was formed.
In front of the Waterside Mansion, the two sat facing each other.
"The third-order spiritual vein here seems to have been successfully cultivated not long ago. I don't know how many real people can practice it."
Lu Changan asked a question of concern.
"A small third-order spiritual vein dojo is suitable for a true alchemy cultivator, plus some foundation building and Qi refining junior servants to practice without pressure."
"It would be a little bit reluctant to let two true elixir cultivators practice at the same time. But under this spiritual vein dojo, there is also a third-order spirit gathering array. If you invest in spirit stones for a long time and let two or three true elixir cultivators practice at the same time, there will be no problem. big."
Duan Lao was very patient and answered.
Lu Changan nodded, generally small third-order spiritual veins are biased towards personal dojos, and can only accommodate one or two monks of the same level to practice.
"Most of the time, Duan is not in this manor dojo, and goes to various places to run business.
"If Master Xu is willing, you will guard this place and take care of the spirit wood and herbs. Master Xu will help refine some elixir from time to time, and train alchemy apprentices as a reward."
"Mr. Duan, do you trust Xu to guard this place?"
Lu Changan said curiously.
In Heyuan Oasis, a small third-tier dojo is also a scarce strategic resource.
Other forces annex it, and it can be used to win over the real pill for offering.
If you have a brilliant pulse master, you can even migrate to your own third-level spiritual veins, merge and grow.
A fake alchemy real person, guarding the newly cultivated small third-tier dojo, and taking care of the spirit wood herbs, does not sound so reliable.
