Haoyu Zhenxian

Chapter 596 The opening puppet master, the Nascent Soul prepares

In the former Feitianzong secret realm, Chen Ping fought many times with the Hai clan of the Chagu tribe.

The impression of this family is naturally extremely deep.

What's more, the appearance can be faked with secret techniques, but the pure sea spirit power exuding from his body is almost impossible to fake.

After shrinking his eyes, Chen Ping stepped out of the teleportation array as if nothing had happened.

Since the Sea Clan dared to appear in the territory of the Human Clan, there must be a reason.

He needn't be surprised either.

"Where did you come from?"

The next moment, the tall and strong Sea Clan stepped down and looked at Chen Ping with a scrutiny.

When he realized that the person who came was just a monk at the early stage of Golden Core, his expression became a little more relaxed.

"Han came from Fengzhou Island. I have a letter of introduction from Lai Mingfeng Lai Daoist."

Chen Ping said with a little respect, and handed over a jade slip with aura in both hands.

In order to facilitate the purchase of fourth- and fifth-tier treasures without arousing suspicion, he deliberated for a while, and when he met monk surnamed Lai in Zuixianglou, he exposed the early stage cultivation of Jindan.

"It turned out to be Lai's acquaintance."

After carefully checking it several times, the fourth-order Sea Clan nodded slightly and returned the jade slip.

After receiving the jade slips, Chen Ping carefully took back his Taoist robe.

For this so-called certificate, he gave monk Lai [-] middle-grade spirit stones worth of property.

Not including a top grade spirit stone used for teleportation.

Just after leaving the sea, he spent a huge amount of money without any income, which really made him extremely uncomfortable.

However, Lai Mingfeng's grandfather was a great golden core monk of the No Nian Sect.

Its status is lofty, and it holds the power of the sect, so it is worth establishing a good relationship.

"This seat, Wu Fu, is the favorite of Tianqin Zhenjun, and also the second elder of the teleportation hall in Wunianfang City."

Seeing that there was still a trace of doubt in Chen Ping's eyes, the Hai Clan explained simply.

True Monarch Tianqin!

Hearing this, Chen Ping pretended to bow his head in respect.

No Nian Sect has two Nascent Souls, a male and a female.

The relatively rare female cultivator Yuanying was originally named Wu Chuhan, and Tianqin Zhenjun is her dao name.

Not only did this sea clan spirit pet take her surname, but his eyes didn't change when he called himself a strange pet, which surprised Chen Ping.

It seems that he was completely tamed by that Wu Zhenjun.

In fact, it is not strange to favor the Sea Clan.

Yuanyan Islands has never seen a sea clan spirit pet, because there is no living sea clan in the sea area.

And the Sea Clan in the outer sea is huge in number, and it even overwhelms the Human Clan.

It is normal for the two races to domesticate each other.

"Han Daoyou, go to the internal affairs hall in the city to check in as soon as possible, even if you only stay for a while, you have to pay the spirit stone."

After Wu Fu finished speaking, his figure disappeared in place.

He kept staring at Chen Ping walking out of the teleportation hall, and he just returned to guard outside the hall.

……

Half a month later, Chen Ping appeared alone in the sky outside Wunian Island.

Staring at the giant city not far away, he remained silent.

These days, he took a tour of the entire island.

There are eight ferry crossings on Wunian Island, and they are always bustling and bustling.

The large and small spirit ships that could not be seen at a glance approached the island like ants.

In the sky and on land, there are countless caravans and monks rushing towards the main city.

The consciousness hovered casually, and all kinds of living beings were densely packed.

The two cities of Fuyou and Yanning are the largest islands he has ever seen. An island is a city, accommodating tens of millions of creatures.

But compared with No Mind Island, it is undoubtedly overshadowed.

The outline of this island is in the shape of a dragon, three thousand miles from north to south, and six thousand miles from east to west, it is simply a piece of land!

In fact, no matter how large the land is, such as the end of the Tianyan Continent in the previous life, it is basically surrounded by deep sea.

Therefore, as long as the island is large enough, it can be regarded as a real land.

There are nearly [-] million mortals on Wunian Island, and as many as one million monks.

But with such a large number, only one city and one town were built.

Wunian Town is the habitat of mortals.

The city is the realm of monks, and those without cultivation are generally not allowed to enter.

In the entire Wunian Island, there are countless families and sects.

In addition to the well-deserved overlord Wu Nianzong, there are eight other Jindan sects.

"Dozens of Golden Cores gather together, and if the Wunian Island comes out in full force, it will be extremely simple to unify Yuanyan."

Looking at the giant gate that is hundreds of feet high, Chen Ping couldn't help but laugh at himself slightly.

No wonder the predecessors who conceived babies in the archipelago eventually left the mainland for ten thousand years.

The Fancang sea area is the gathering place for continuing to seek Taoism.

Then, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

The more high-level monks, the greater the demand and market for treasures.

……

"Senior, please show or apply for the city entry ring."

A guard from Yuan Dan's early stage blocked the way.

"Ms. Han has registered before."

As Chen Ping said, he took out a small white ring from his pocket.

The word "Han Shu" is engraved on the back of this ring.

His purpose is to remain anonymous, and of course he will not use any previous aliases.

"White Ring!"

The guard showed a strange look. After inputting the spiritual power, he checked that it was correct, and immediately gave way to the passage.

Putting the ring back into his arms, Chen Ping walked into the city without changing his expression.

After all, Wu Nian Sect is the only orthodox Nascent Soul faction in Jingyang Sea.

Therefore, the various rules are quite complicated.

The ban on flying and fighting in the city is just the most basic.

If it is a long-term residence, the monks of the No Nian Sect will come to check the identity every few years.

Chen Ping naturally planned to stay longer.

So I applied for a white ring that can stay for [-] years at one time.

The review of the issuance of white rings is particularly strict.

If it weren't for Lai Mingfeng's face, Chen Ping, who has just arrived, might have to spend a lot of effort.

……

The streets behind the city gate are very spacious.

It is more than enough for a hundred people to walk side by side, or for ten animal carts to pass through.

Without squinting, Chen Ping galloped towards Fangshi with both feet.

Originally, with his agility, he could travel across the entire island in a single thought.

But this is someone else's territory, and doing whatever they want is purely self-defeating.

……

More than ten days later, on a slightly remote street in Wunianfang City, an unremarkable two-story attic suddenly had a new owner.

He is a male cultivator at the early stage of Jindan who looks to be in his thirties.

Although the surrounding shops were curious, they were not surprised.

The location of this street in Fangshi is not very good, and the number of monks who visit here every day is limited.

It is not worth making a fuss about changing people occasionally.

"It's clean."

Walking into the attic, Chen Ping casually looked around and said very satisfied.

He is naturally the new owner of this building.

Yesterday, he acted as a receiver once, and took down this pavilion from another Yuandan Artifact Refiner.

For this small attic with a yard covering an area of ​​several acres, it actually cost a total of 400 million low-grade spirit stones.

However, it's not that Chen Ping can't afford a better location, it's just that it's not necessary.

"The days of leisurely cultivating immortals have begun!"

Lying on the chair, Chen Ping narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the past half a month, he has gained neither big nor small in Wunianfang City.

Huang Tian Pill, Ju Zhuan Pill and other major cultivator minor pills bought a few bottles of nearly 150 pills.

It's a pity that they are all of the ordinary quality of Erdaowen.

It is not uncommon to have three lines or even four lines.

It's that the big pavilions are not sold to ordinary monks at all.

Either it was directly supplied to Wu Nianzong, or harsh conditions were put forward.

For example, asking him to work for the pavilion for a hundred years, or to participate in several monster hunting and sea hunting operations, etc.

Chen Ping devoted himself to meditation, but politely declined.

Anyway, there are as many as [-] or so Pill Sages in Wunian Island, and there are even two titled Pill Sages.

As long as he has a good relationship with some of them, he can finally achieve his goal.

……

"Wu Nian Island has strict rules and regulations. It is a rare pure land in the Jingyang sea area. If I knew it earlier, I should go to the other two fifth-level islands to settle down."

Turning the teacup, Chen Ping smiled helplessly.

Why does he open a shop?

One is to accumulate contacts, and more importantly, the resources on his body are almost exhausted.

The price of Wunian Island is not expensive, so he can't bear to buy treasures in large quantities.

Pills, psychic swords, spiritual herbs for refining natal puppets, etc., each of which is a huge expense.

Fortunately, before the spirit stones were exhausted, he once again gathered all 21 psychic tools used by Zhou Tian Wanjue Sword Formation.

……

The second day of taking over the store.

Chen Ping changed the name of the attic to "Han Shu Puppet Workshop."

Staring at the signboard, he twitched the corner of his mouth and walked towards the street.

Wunianfang City is the largest trading place in the Jingyang sea area.

There are as many as tens of thousands of monks of all ranks going in and out every day.

In the next few days, Chen Ping pretended to be a guest and walked around all the puppet workshops quietly.

As expected.

There are as many as fifteen or six puppet masters in Fangshi alone, and it is not difficult to refine fourth-level puppets or even fifth-level low-level puppets.

These puppet workshops not only sell finished products, but also buy and sell various materials.

Even in the open sea, the status of Jindan monks is extremely high.

Therefore, Chen Ping easily met the principals of the major puppet workshops.

Soon he became familiar with the puppet market on Wunian Island.

It is worth mentioning that the puppets in the Jingyang sea area are still dominated by monster races.

The Kehai tribe and the ancient beast tribe are also relatively popular varieties.

As for the source of the materials, of course, they were obtained locally.

Two or 10,000+ miles north of Wunian Island, there is a Sea Clan tribe with fifth-level suppression.

The overall strength of that tribe is slightly inferior to that of Jingyang sea area.

Small-scale melees often broke out between the people and the sea.

And monks with high supernatural powers will sneak into the tribe to hunt and kill the single sea tribe to obtain resources.

Over time, the materials of the Sea Clan gradually accumulated and increased.

The skill inheritance of various trails in the outer sea is far beyond what Yuan Yan can compare.

Mature and unique puppet making methods, even Chen Ping, who has mastered the precious puppet art, has something to learn from.

In a giant puppet building opened by the No Nian Sect, he even saw a four-star sea clan puppet at the beginning of the fifth level.

When asked about the price, the shopkeeper smiled without saying a word, and said slowly that he wanted to exchange for a high-grade Lingbao, which made Chen Ping retreat in shock.

……

"Senior, do you want to buy materials or not?"

In a puppet shop, the shopkeeper Yuan Dan dared to ask.

He walked around the store with the man in front of him for half an hour.

The other party fumbled here and there, asking questions, and seemed very interested but didn't want to buy anything.

If it wasn't for a Jindan senior, he would have turned his face and changed his attendant to receive him.

"Master Ma, Mr. Han intends to sell a batch of materials."

Chen Ping turned around and said mysteriously.

After all, he threw away a few storage rings.

Shopkeeper Ma swept away subconsciously, his face immediately became respectful, and he said flatteringly:
"Senior Han, wait a moment, this junior will give you a discount."

Slightly nodding his head, Chen Ping calmly waited.

The storage ring he handed over was full of Sea Clan items.

Back then in the secret realm of Feitianzong, he slaughtered several sea clansmen.

However, apart from Lingshi, other unique sea clan treasures cannot be sold in Yuanyan Islands.

But Jingyang Sea was different, it was so close to the Sea Clan tribe, and with the existence of the Sea Clan's spiritual pet, the market was definitely not small.

Sure enough, shopkeeper Ma took inventory with great interest, and gave a quotation of 40 middle-grade spirit stones.

"[-]% less than I expected."

Frowning slightly, Chen Ping glanced around, pointed to the two foundation-building nuns who were picking up the guests, and said, "Give me two extra maids for Mr. Han."

"No problem, it's their blessing to follow senior!"

Hearing that it was such a simple request, Shopkeeper Ma slapped his palms without hesitation, and summoned the two girls to recognize his employer again.

"This junior, Xiao He, has seen the owner."

"The junior, Xiao Lan, has met the senior."

Under Chen Ping's gaze, the two girls bowed their heads shyly to see her.

These two foundation-establishing female cultivators have a delicate appearance and a curvy figure, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

Xiaohe and Xiaolan were even more delighted from the bottom of their hearts.

The future of the seniors who follow the Golden Core Realm is boundless.

If she is lucky enough to be accepted as a concubine, even Yuan Dan is not impossible in the future.

"Horse shopkeeper, these and those materials are all packed."

Chen Ping pointed in several directions and spoke.

"okay!"

Shopkeeper Ma secretly said "big customer", and began to pack materials happily.

Once in and out, at least he earned [-] middle-grade spirit stones for his master, and the rewards are enough for him to practice for a long time.

Before leaving, Chen Ping turned his head and said with a smile: "Ms. Han opened a new puppet shop in the next street. The owner of your building is welcome to come and discuss."

"..."

Shopkeeper Ma's expression turned brilliant, he didn't know what to say, and invited Chen Ping out of the shop.

……

On a certain day in the middle of next month, a puppet workshop opened quietly.

On the left half of the hall, hundreds of second- and third-tier puppets are sold.

On the right side, there is a lone fourth-rank low-grade puppet with two ends.

Xiao He and Xiao Lan introduced with great effort, throwing countless winks.

"As soon as I go out to sea, my contacts will be cut off."

Looking at the few monks in the hall, Chen Ping sighed silently.

Compared with Haichangfang, which is getting bigger and bigger in Shuangcheng, the real guests on the first day are indeed rare.

Most of the surrounding shops sold him as a Golden Core cultivator, and sent a few deacons to choose a few puppets.

However, Chen Ping was not in a hurry.

With the Immortal Zixu Puppet Code in hand, his background is profound and terrifying.

In terms of the inheritance of puppet art alone, not to mention the Jingyang Sea Territory, even in the entire Fancang, it is difficult to find few people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with it.

The many monster puppets sold in the shop are the goods that Chen Ping rushed to work overnight.

The method of performing the technique is taken from the Immortal Puppet Code.

In order to prevent too much exposure, he deliberately fused the previous refining techniques, so that the power of the Immortal Puppet Code remained at about [-]% of the original.

However, even so, the monster puppets made with the Immortal Puppet Code are [-]% to [-]% stronger than the puppets of the same level in other shops.

I believe that after the first batch of monks who bought puppets discovered this benefit and spread the word, the business of the store would boom by leaps and bounds.

What frustrates him is that he originally wanted to lower the price of the puppet to increase competitiveness.

However, a few days before the store opened, several local puppet masters visited together.

Discussing puppetry is secondary, and the main thing is to jointly put pressure on him.

Chen Ping was required to maintain the unity of the price, and no increase or decrease of more than [-]% was allowed.

One of the puppet masters is the Elder Jindan of the No Nian Sect.

Chen Ping thought for a while, and finally compromised.

He is here to make "quick money", so it doesn't matter if he disrupts the market.

But other shops are rooted here and have been passed down for thousands of years, and they must not allow outsiders to break the rules.

……

In half a year, the Han Shu Puppet Workshop in Wunianfang City became famous!

The puppets in his shop are not only durable and resistant to beatings, but also slightly stronger than the puppets bought elsewhere, and the key prices are similar.

All of a sudden, the business of Puppet Workshop boomed visibly with the naked eye.

Almost every day is full of traffic and a continuous stream.

Xiaohe and Xiaolan were dizzy in a hurry.

Seeing this, Chen Ping hired ten more monks who established the foundation as reception attendants, and also carefully selected a treasurer from the early Yuan Dan period.

This person's name is Yang Maoyan, and he is the elder of a small family on the island.

Chen Ping saw that he was good at dancing with long sleeves and clever in handling things, so he recruited him after careful consideration.

Yang Maoyan's salary is only twenty middle-grade Lingshi per month.

But he never got tired of it, and signed a fifty-year soul contract with his master.

Because he is a fire-attribute monk himself, it is rare for him to be favored by a fellow practitioner of fire magic.

Chen Ping's occasional pointers can make him suddenly understand and solve the problem.

He didn't complain even if he posted the Lingshi upside down.

……

"Am I unable to lift a knife anymore, or am I getting old?"

On this day, the well-known owner of Han Shu Puppet Shop was sitting on a futon, staring at the puppets in the room and smiling wryly.

For two full years, he neither practiced nor closed his eyes to rest, but only focused on creating various puppets.

The material cost of 40 middle-grade spirit stones was finally sold for 53.

Such a speed of earning resources is absolutely horrifying to say the least, scaring away the peers.

But Chen Ping was somewhat disapproving.

If Gu Sixian, Ji Yuanshe, Wei Xueling and others from the archipelago see him working hard to earn resources, they will all be shocked.

"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, killing people, setting fires, looting rampantly in a small place, and going to the open sea, and honestly eating handicrafts."

Chen Ping couldn't help laughing, imitating the tone of emotion that the cultivators might have given out.

To be honest, large-scale refining of puppets not only delays cultivation, but also exhausts both body and mind, and it is far less enjoyable than borrowing resources from strangers.

However, in the past two years, he has developed a sense of stability that he has never had before.

That's right, he, Chen Ping, stumbled and stumbled in the archipelago, almost fighting his way out of the sea of ​​corpses.

When the realm is low, you keep practicing, and when your cultivation level improves, you will immediately face greater risks.

The identity is constantly changing between the poisonous snake in the shadows and the bloodthirsty lone wolf.

During the two years of staying on Wunian Island, I got used to a comfortable and leisurely life, but my tense heart gradually calmed down.

If he didn't have the gold beads and was just an ordinary monk, it would be fine to live his life in peace and stability.

But there are too many grievances in my heart.

If you don't stand on a higher mountain, you won't be able to solve it at all.

"Only fight for this life, and don't cultivate immortality in the next life."

Smiling lightly, Chen Ping waved his sleeves and marked the prices for the puppet army one by one.

(The old devil should take that step after a while.)
