Chapter 70 Puppetry
"You don't need to go to the Holy City to obtain puppet skills." Kang Chenzi smiled meaningfully and said without further explanation: "You will naturally know the specific situation tomorrow. Okay, go back to your room and rest."

Kang Chenzi didn't say anything, and Zhu Youchen didn't want to get to the bottom of it. After simply sorting out the remnants of the demon refining, he returned to his room.

Because it was already late at night, Zhu Youchen didn't have much time to rest.

Coupled with the whole day of refining demons, when I woke up the next day, I was still in a dizzy state.

On the contrary, Kang Chenzi was particularly energetic, and he dragged Zhu Youchen out of the small courtyard early in the morning and rushed to Xiaohei Street.

"Teacher, didn't you say that puppet masters have very low sleep requirements? Why do I feel like I haven't woken up now?" Zhu Youchen followed Kang Chenzi in confusion and asked.

"It's normal. Refining demons is an extremely labor-intensive thing." Kang Chenzi explained: "Yesterday, you refined so many magic costumes in one breath, so it's normal for you to feel sleepy."

Zhu Youchen nodded and asked expressionlessly: "Is there any way to relieve it?"

"Yes, eat more and sleep more." Kang Chenzi pursed his lips and smiled: "Maybe the magic power will gradually ease."

"Is it enough to run the magic power?" Zhu Youchen was slightly startled, and quickly started to run the Jiu Hong Jue to let the magic power run in the body.

As soon as the magic power started to work, Zhu Youchen clearly felt that his mind was clearer.

Kang Chenzi walked in front with a faint smile, and unknowingly brought Zhu Youchen to the Lanxin Club, then took the elevator down and entered the small black street hidden underground.

Perhaps it was because he was about to buy a puppet skill, so when he entered Xiaohei Street, Zhu Youchen immediately cheered up.

"By the way, teacher, is there anything I need to pay attention to when choosing puppetry?"

Kang Chenzi smiled and said: "The first thing to pay attention to is of course attribute matching. Puppet skills other than the four attributes of combat, shield, shadow, and formation basically don't need to be considered. The second thing is the choice of the type of puppet skill, such as attack, defense, assistance, and amplification. Wait, other than that, you have to set priorities according to your own situation."

"Priority?" Zhu Youchen didn't quite understand.

"It's very simple, just make a simple choice between the four puppet skills of combat, shield, shadow, and formation based on your own situation. To put it bluntly, whichever puppet skill will improve you the most now, you will give priority to purchasing which puppet skill."

Zhu Youchen nodded clearly, "Then which puppet skill do you think the disciple should buy first?"

"Well... Judging from your current situation, the benefits of array puppetry should be greater, followed by combat puppetry and shadow puppetry, and finally shield puppetry."

"Why is it the Formation Puppet Skill and not the Fighting Puppet Skill and Shadow Puppet Skill?" Zhu Youchen asked in confusion.

"Because what you lack most now is group ability and long-range ability, and formation puppetry is the only one among the four types of puppetry that can make up for these two deficiencies at the same time." Kang Chenzi explained.

Hearing this, Zhu Youchen suddenly felt like he was enlightened.

"We're here, this is it." As he spoke, Kang Chenzi suddenly stopped.

Zhu Youchen raised his head subconsciously. After seeing the three words [Yu Ouxuan], his eyes couldn't help but have a strange color, "Yu Ouxuan?"

"That's right, it's Yu Ouxuan." Kang Chenzi didn't notice the strange look in Zhu Youchen's eyes. As he walked inside, he introduced: "This Yu Ouxuan is the largest time-honored brand in Qunzhou, with stores all over Qunzhou. Across the country, the variety of puppetry is complete and the overall quality is relatively high.”

Zhu Youchen was slightly startled. He thought Yu Ouxuan was just a small shop in Lanxin City, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

Walking into Yu Oupuan, the familiar fragrance hit your face. The enchanting female boss was sitting lazily at the counter as before, her misty eyes looking at the customers coming and going in the store with interest.

Kang Chenzi also seemed to be attracted by the scent of the female boss. He couldn't help but frown and look at the female boss, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At the same time that Kang Chenzi noticed the female boss, the female boss also noticed Kang Chenzi. Her eyes fell on Kang Chenzi inadvertently, and she seemed to notice something.

"Teacher, it seems that the boss here is not simple?" Zhu Youchen whispered to Kang Chenzi.

"It is indeed not simple." Kang Chenzi nodded meaningfully, "With her strength, she is at least a mid-level and high-level person in Yuopupuan, but she lives in a small place like Lanxin City. It is really strange."

"Is she very strong?" Zhu Youchen asked curiously.

"Yeah." Kang Chenzi nodded thoughtfully: "Roughly estimated, it is at least the level of Ba Yin."

"Only Ba Yin?" Zhu Youchen couldn't help but be stunned, because based on his understanding of Kang Chenzi, Ba Yin's strength should not be enough for Kang Chenzi to make a strong evaluation.

Kang Chenzi nodded meaningfully: "At her age, it is already very good to have practiced to the Eight Yin. In addition, never measure the strength of a puppet master by the level of cultivation. This woman's strength is definitely extraordinary."

"Really?" Zhu Youchen nodded and couldn't help but glance at the female boss.

"Of course, this has nothing to do with us. We are just here to buy puppetry." Kang Chenzi smiled, picked up a puppetry scroll from the puppet classification counter, handed it to Zhu Youchen and said, "Here, take a look. How about this puppet show?"

Zhu Youchen came to his senses in a daze, took the puppet show scroll and took a look at it. A brief introduction to the puppet show came to his eyes:
[Ordinary Level Splitting Array]

Attribute: Array
Threshold for use: one star, one lead

Effect: Causes teammates' attacks to have a splitting effect. Split attacks cause 25% damage.

Range: 15 meters "Does this split effect apply to all attacks?" Zhu Youchen asked thoughtfully.

"That's right." Kang Chenzi nodded and introduced: "This splitting formation is a relatively common and practical formation skill. Although it is only an ordinary level splitting formation, it is enough for the current stage."

"Ordinary level?" Zhu Youchen was slightly stunned and said, "Are puppet skills also divided into levels?"

"Some are classified and some are not. Generally, only puppet skills with a level prefix are classified into levels." Kang Chenzi explained: "High-level puppet skills are equivalent to stronger versions. Take the split formation as an example. There are better ones. There are Xuan-level splitting formations and macro-level splitting formations, but for this type of puppetry, the ordinary-level versions are more common, while the advanced versions are relatively rare."

Zhu Youchen said thoughtfully: "Are there only three levels: ordinary level, mysterious level, and grand level?"

"Yeah." Kang Chenzi nodded and smiled: "How about it, do you want to buy it?"

"It feels a bit expensive." Zhu Youchen glanced at the price of [-] on the label and hesitated.

"Normally, formation puppet skills are generally more expensive than other puppet skills." Kang Chenzi said.

Zhu Youchen muttered and put the splitting array back to its original position and said, "Let's take a look at the others first."

"Alright, let's read more before making a decision." Kang Chenzi nodded and smiled, and then continued to show Zhu Youchen to browse other puppet skills.

After a while, Kang Chenzi once again selected one of the many formation skills and handed it to Zhu Youchen.

【Mortal Soul Recovery】

Attributes: Holy Idol, Formation Idol

Use threshold: one star and two leads

Effect: Apply soul resuscitation effect to teammates within range, and continuously repair soul damage.
Range: 10 meters

"Is the group continuous healing puppet skill?" Zhu Youchen frowned slightly and said: "Strange, why are there two attributes of holy puppet and formation puppet? Does it mean that both holy puppet and formation puppet can be used?"

"That's right." Kang Chenzi explained patiently: "Many puppet skills are compatible with multiple magic puppet attributes, and different magic puppets will have different effects. Take this soul resuscitation as an example. If it is performed with a formation puppet, , the range will be larger, and if it is performed with the Holy Puppet, the therapeutic effect will be better."

"Is there still such an operation?" Zhu Youchen was slightly surprised: "Then what if it's a Holy Formation puppet?"

"Of course, you have to take both extra boosts." Kang Chenzi said with a smile: "Therefore, multi-attribute puppet skills are also the most suitable puppet skills for macro puppets, but it is more difficult to find the right one."

"If this is the case, then there is no need for the disciple to choose this puppet skill, right?"

"Well, if there are only formation puppets, the value of soul resuscitation is indeed not worth [-]." Kang Chenzi nodded, then picked up a puppet skill again and said, "Look at this again."

【Corrosion Array】

Attribute: Array
Use threshold: one star and two leads

Effect: 10% of the defense power of all enemy targets within the corrosion range and 20% of the defense skill effect
Range: 18 meters

Duration: 30 seconds

Seeing the brief introduction of the Corrosion Array, Zhu Youchen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is this a good trick?"

"Indeed, this Corrosion Formation is one of the necessary skills for auxiliary formation puppets. Formation puppets with this skill will be very popular when forming a team, but the price is not low." Kang Chenzi nodded. .

Zhu Youchen was startled for a moment, then noticed the price on the label on the edge of the leather roll: 24000 magic dust.

After seeing the price, Zhu Youchen immediately hesitated. After all, he only has less than [-] funds, and this [Corrosion Formation] will directly cost half of his budget.

"It's a bit expensive, but the corrosion array is indeed worth the price." Kang Chenzi gave analysis and opinions on the side.

After hearing what Kang Chenzi said, Zhu Youchen quickly made up his mind, "That's it."

"Okay." Kang Chenzi nodded calmly. Although he felt that other options were good, for puppet masters, their own choices are often the most suitable for them. "Next, you can check out the combat puppetry and shadow puppetry skills. Well, as for the shield puppet skills, the budget is probably not enough."

Zhu Youchen nodded, carefully held the [Corrosion Array], and followed Kang Chenzi to the counter where the war puppets and shadow puppets were sorted.

While the master and apprentice were choosing puppet skills, the female boss at the counter on the other side had been observing them without revealing any trace.

The female boss naturally recognized Zhu Youchen as the young boy who returned empty-handed a few days ago, but what interested her more at the moment was Kang Chenzi. Although she could not sense Kang Chenzi's specific strength, she could vaguely sense Kang Chenzi. The powerful aura on his body.

Kang Chenzi could also detect the secret concern of the female boss, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, in his eyes, the female boss Yu Ouxuan was just an irrelevant junior.

"Why are they all so cheap?" Zhu Youchen glanced at the war puppet skills and shadow puppet skills on the counter and asked with surprise.

"As I said, formation puppet skills are generally more expensive than other puppet skills, and the puppet skills with the three attributes of War, Shield and Shadow are also the cheapest among all puppet skills." Kang Chenzi smiled hoarsely and explained to the puppet skills at the counter : "Since Da Zhuang has chosen to use a sword, you can take a look at the sword skills and knife skills over there."
