Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 132 The secret hidden in the core of the spirit puppet

These five spirit puppets only knew one basic swordsmanship, plus two formations, and they dared to sell him fifteen thousand contribution points.

In this regard, Luo Yan could only say that he couldn't afford it.

He calmly retracted his proud hand.

Even if he had a simple intelligence, he instantly lost interest in selling the puppet at this price.

If he was completely pursuing power, he could just arrange those first-order top-level formations himself.

The power definitely does not belong to the combination of those spirit puppets.

Although Luo Yan has more contribution points now, he has achieved them through various means.

Moreover, the jade slips in the Sutra Pavilion are very expensive, and the little contribution he has made will be exhausted by reading many scriptures and magical powers.

There are some contribution points now, but these contribution points cannot be spent indiscriminately. When the time comes, you will have to save them to buy second-level exercises, formations, scriptures, etc.

Everything consumes a large portion of contribution points.

A mere tens of thousands of contribution points is definitely not enough.

If it were through normal channels, let alone more than 10,000 contribution points, it would be difficult to collect even 3,000 contribution points in a few years, even if you kept doing tasks.

Performing a C-level mission only yields dozens of contribution points.

Back and forth, at least ten days are gone.

Just like the first escort mission, it took three months to make such a small contribution.

If you want to buy five spiritual puppets, you may have to do a lifetime of C-level tasks to redeem them.

The price of a puppet with intelligence is almost twice as high as a top-quality magic weapon.

He couldn't accept the price premium for his dull intelligence.

Luo Yan originally thought that by exchanging these five spirit puppets, he could not only train his sword skills, but also improve his close-quarters ability.

Now this idea has come to nothing. I am still too poor to deserve such a noble thing.

It seems that there are still too many people with contribution points in the sect, otherwise the pricing of Lingpuppet Hall would not be so outrageous.

In this case, he would not exchange it.

Find a way to copy it yourself!

He didn't believe it. With the help of the chip, he could be stopped by a few small spirit puppets.

For the next half month, Luo Yan would come to the training room every day while using these five spirit puppets to hone his close combat abilities.

While using the chip to record the subtle changes of these five spirit puppets.

How long can a full-strength attack last, how long can the basic swordsmanship attack, how powerful can the Three Talents Sword Formation be at most, what each spirit puppet is best at, etc.

It's just that the basic data of the spirit puppet has almost been measured, but Luo Yan's own basic swordsmanship training really makes him feel a little helpless.

Maybe he really doesn't get along with the sword cultivator, after so many days have passed.

There were five spirit puppets that only used basic swordsmanship from beginning to end. In terms of basic swordsmanship, he could only draw with three of them at most.

Once you are surrounded by four spirit puppets or use the three-talented sword technique, you will lose.

Luo Yan curled his lips, very dissatisfied with the progress of his swordsmanship training.

Now that things have happened, he doesn't worry about it anymore.

The copying work of the spirit puppet is almost ready.

Many times, with the advantage of his body skills, when the spirit puppet attacked, he instantly restrained it.

Because the remaining four lacked a companion, they were no match for Luo Yan who used minor magical powers.

Without much effort, he also captured the other four spirit puppets.

Then Luo Yan became interested and studied the rune patterns on their bodies.

After many attempts, Luo Yan almost had a clear understanding of the runes on the spirit puppet.

These external runes are basically auxiliary runes for perception, spirit gathering, and defense.

What is really worth paying attention to is the array diagram engraved inside the spirit puppet.

Luo Yan also took advantage of the fact that the runes on the outside of the spirit puppet were fully understood and the training room was filled with runes to prevent perception, making sure that the outside world would not notice it.

He quietly took apart the spirit puppet several times, and after much research, he finally figured out the layout of the array inside.

Following the law, Luo Yan dismantled four other spirit puppets.

He discovered that the reason why these spirit puppets have different five-element attributes is ultimately because the person who designed this spirit puppet deliberately split a second-level five-element formation into five parts.

Installed on five spiritual puppets respectively.

And each spirit puppet is driven by the corresponding five elements attributes, and can almost adapt to most enemy attacks.

A complete second-level formation, even if it is simplified and broken into five individuals, the combined power of the formation will not be lower than a strike from a monk in the foundation-building stage.

But the person who carved the formation seemed to have deliberately chosen a very cheap iron teak wood based on cost considerations.

The hardness and spiritual energy channeling properties of this kind of wood are quite good, so it is most suitable to be used as a puppet's coat.

Moreover, the formation diagram itself has also been streamlined, almost only retaining the power of the five elements.

Next to the Five Elements Formation Diagram, there is a small piece of dark ink stone, and a small spirit storage array is arranged around the ink stone, which serves as a power source.

It usually absorbs the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and stores it inside.

It starts automatically when needed, which is very convenient! Luo Yan checked the spirit puppet up and down, after excluding the array diagrams and runes.

He guessed that the dark ink stone was the fundamental reason why the puppet had spiritual intelligence!

It's just that the ink stone is firmly locked on all sides by an unprecedented sealing formation. If he continues to open it, he, who doesn't know much about the sealing formation, will most likely never be able to recover.

His actions will also be discovered.

With a somewhat regretful attitude, he could only give up studying ink stone.

After Luo Yan completely memorized the formation diagrams and rune patterns inside and outside, he carefully restored the spirit puppet to its original state.

If he just simply carved the formation pattern, he felt that he would have no problem.

He wanted to try to see how far he could reach without the existence of Inkstone.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Yan used the spiritual body in Daze and couldn't wait to start experiments.

But when he perfectly replicated all of this in Daze, his suspicion was indeed verified.

The puppet was made, the formations and runes could be activated, and it could automatically charge, but it had no intelligence.

Not to mention dull, he doesn't even have the most basic intelligence!

It seems that among those spirit puppets, the most important one is the ink stone!

Luo Yan stared at the pile of defective products he had made and fell into deep thought.

Vaguely he seemed to have forgotten a very important point.

"Huh? Where are the formation diagrams engraved with basic sword techniques and the Three Talents Sword Formation?"

Luo Yan suddenly reacted. He always felt that he had forgotten something, but now he finally remembered it.

At first he thought it was his memory that was wrong, and he subconsciously forgot the sword formation diagram engraved with basic sword techniques.

But when Luo Yan watched the images recorded through the chip over and over again, he found that his runes and array layout were no different from the original ones.

Indeed, there is no trace of the sword array.

"Shouldn't it be right? The Five Elements and Five Directions Formation, this formation that is simplified from the second level, is engraved with formation diagrams. Several of the most basic sword techniques do not have formation diagrams?"

"Can you use the sword technique without a sword formation?" Luo Yan didn't believe it.

This is a puppet, not a human being. There is no corresponding formation, so how can it be created out of nothing?

"Could it be that the sword formation was carved into that fist-sized piece of ink stone?"

With this idea in mind, Luo Yan's real body went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to exchange for many jade slips about puppet refining.

Finally, after spending more than a thousand contribution points and exchanging a large number of jade slips, he found the reason!

The problem lies in the ‘spirit’!

That piece of ink stone is the soul body of the spirit puppet!

This kind of puppet with simple intelligence usually has 'spirit' injected into it.

The formation of the 'spirit' is also very simple, somewhat similar to the 'spirit' of the magic weapon, but slightly different.

The 'spirit' of the magic weapon can be generated by itself through a certain method.

The puppet's intelligence is more about finding some low-level monsters and driving them to repeat the same action over and over again until it is engraved in their bones and becomes instinct.

Then, through some secret method, the souls of low-level monsters are captured and sealed into the ink stone.

Then the puppet became intelligent.

The sealing formation outside protects the soul inside from damage.

With that sealing array, the soul inside the spirit puppet can basically survive for decades.

Some advanced sealing arrays can even protect the souls inside for thousands of years.

After realizing this, Luo Yan suddenly felt that the pricing of the five spirit puppets was quite reasonable.

There are second-level formation diagrams, sealing formations, and souls of monsters with spiritual intelligence.

"Wait a minute, those puppets in the Spirit Puppet Hall who have basic sword skills"

Luo Yan suddenly thought of a very scary answer.

How could ordinary monsters know the sword skills that only human monks can do? Even if they were taught, they would never be able to teach them to such a standard!

Luo Yan even felt that his basic swordsmanship was not as elegant as the spirit puppet's.

Therefore, the souls sealed in those ink stones are most likely

Luo Yan suddenly felt a chill at the puppet door located in the far west.

To be able to do such a cruel thing, no wonder it is in an extremely remote place like the far west.

At the same time, Luo Yan suddenly thought that the sect had also made a large purchase of this kind of spirit puppets.

Even someone like himself, who has just come into contact with runes and formations, can see it. He doesn't believe that the senior elders in the sect can't see it!

When a very cruel thing becomes a commodity that can be circulated normally and is popular.

The brighter the surface, the bloodier the depths.

"It seems that the water in this world is very deep," Luo Yan murmured lowly.

Although the Puppet Sect is thousands of miles away from their five southern sects, after knowing the nature of the spirit puppet's infusion, Luo Yan finally came into contact with the dark side of the world.

And he believed that the sect must have played an extremely important role in this.

For example, provide some souls who know basic swordsmanship.

Thinking a little deeper, is there a deeper connection between the Puppet Sect and your own sect?
