Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Chapter 333 Puppet Hall (Second update)

Su Jie chatted with Chen Yun and Wu Bin for a while, then separated from them and came to the mansion where Qiu Laodao was.

After entering, Su Jie not only saw Qiu Laodao, but also several elders nearby.

They are refining the standard magic weapon together. Qiu Laodao specializes in the refining of the magic weapon, which can be seen from the refining of the White Bone Tiansha Sword.

In addition to fighting, many older elders have other skills, such as alchemy, weapon refining, talisman painting, formation painting, etc.

For example, Tang Peiqing, the eldest, was unrivaled in the entire sect in refining pills and poisons. He was also proficient in refining weapons and painting talismans.

The long days gave him enough time to learn and hone his skills.

Elders with such profound qualifications and numerous skills can be regarded as worthy in any sect. An elder in a sect is like a treasure.

"Disciple Su Jie, pay homage to Master."

Su Jie stepped forward and bowed as a disciple.

Qiu Laodao put down his work, watched the changes in Su Jie's energy, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. As expected, you were promoted to the Secret Realm within a week. You are true to your word."

"This disciple is just concentrating on practicing, and not only is he neglecting the slightest bit. Nowadays, the righteous sect outside the door is very powerful. If he is promoted to the Secret Realm as soon as possible, he can also share the sect's worries."

Su Jie looked upright and said what he said was true.

When several elders heard this, they all expressed their admiration.

"Fellow Daoist Su, not only are you outstanding in talent, your character is also first-rate!"

"I executed a few cowardly traitors a few days ago. If everyone had thoughts like yours, Fellow Daoist Su, we might have bulldozed those righteous sects."

"Fellow Daoist Su, go back to my place and sit down to give lessons to my young disciples. Let's see what is a qualified ideological state as a member of Ghost Ridge Palace."

Now that Su Jie has been promoted to the secret realm, he sits with these elders. They call Su Jie a Taoist friend.

The fact that these elders can appear here shows that they have a good relationship with Qiu Laodao and will not be stingy with verbal praise.

"Haha, Su Jie, you really did not disappoint."

Just then, a voice came.

A figure fell from the sky, wearing a black and gold robe with a serious face. It was Zhang Junwei, the leader of Guiling Palace.

"I've met the sect leader."

Su Jie turned around and handed over his hand.

"I've met the sect leader."

Qiu Laodao and other elders also stood up and saluted.

"I'm here to find Su Jie this time. Such a strange phenomenon in the world and the promotion of immortal seedlings have not appeared in my Ghost Ridge Palace for many years."

Zhang Junwei waved to Su Jie to come forward.

Su Jie stepped forward quickly, wondering what Zhang Junwei wanted from him.

"Sit first."

Zhang Junwei had a friendly smile on his face, looking at Su Jie with increasing satisfaction.

"I heard what you just said. In our recent confrontation with the Zhengdao Sect, many elders died.

Since you have been promoted to the secret realm, it means that you are qualified to take on the responsibilities of the secret realm.

These are the elders who died recently. Their names are here, as well as their duties during their lifetime. You can choose one to take over and maintain the safety of the sect. "

Zhang Junwei took out a booklet and handed it to Su Jie.

Su Jie immediately understood what Zhang Junwei meant. Many powers of this level in the Secret Realm hold important positions.

But positions with great authority are often a mess. For example, Tang Peiqing served as the head of the Alchemy Pavilion, and also served as the head of the Weapon Refining Hall. Just because he had many skills, he was the most senior elder in the sect.

The leader of the command hall is Zuo Xinping, who is related to the patriarch Zhang Junwei, so he can control the distribution of tasks.

Even Qiu Laodao is the deputy hall master of the Weapon Refining Hall. The Weapon Refining Hall is one of the highest-status departments in Ghost Ridge Palace. It has the same status as the Alchemy Pavilion, the Criminal Law Hall, the Order Hall, etc. The deputy hall master is already the real power. It's time for a new job.

These key positions are usually not released while the original elders are still alive.

The newly promoted secret realm cannot take a job, so he can only serve as an elder to teach his disciples.

However, due to the sect war, many elders died, and these positions became vacant, becoming the favorites in the eyes of many elders without authority.

Zhang Junwei selected Su Jie, which was clearly abusing power for personal gain.

Of course, the other elders knew about it and didn't dare to say anything.

Su Jie guessed in his mind that he might have made too much noise when he was promoted, and the reason why Zhang Junwei was given an important position was a kind of win-win.

When several elders near Su Jie heard this, except for Qiu Laodao who was smiling, the other elders had strange expressions in their eyes.

Among them, some have not yet held any positions within the sect.

Su Jie flipped through the pamphlet. He didn't have a mental disorder. Being able to get a position of real power was much better than those powerless elders.

Suddenly, Su Jie saw a certain position, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sect Master, is it okay if I want to take up this position?" Su Jie pointed to a certain page in the book and asked directly.

"Puppet Hall, do you want to take up this position?"

Zhang Junwei was slightly startled. He had never heard that Su Jie was good at studying puppets.

On the contrary, he only heard that Su Jie was very good at cultivating Gu insects and that he had a powerful female ghost.

"Sect Master, I have always been interested in puppetry, but I have never had the opportunity to study it in the past."

Su Jie smiled and said, "This puppet hall, Su Jie thought that if he could serve as the leader, he might be able to learn from some of Blue Star's technological drawings and reproduce related products in Ghost Ridge Palace."

"Well, that's okay. Peng Tan'an, the former master of the Puppet Hall, is the only one in the entire sect who is good at puppetry. Since you are interested, I'll leave it to you."

Zhang Junwei didn't think much about it. The Puppet Hall was only a marginal department in Ghost Ridge Palace. Apart from the sacrificed former hall leader Peng Qin'an, there were only a few disciples who were interested in puppetry or had related talents.

In Guiling Palace, a sect that is full of bugs, almost no one cares about it.

When the other elders saw Su Jie's choice, they looked at each other.

There were clearly better positions available, but Su Jie turned a blind eye.

Some elders who have no positions so far are even more enthusiastic about it, and they can't wait to get relevant positions in Su Jie's place.

"Su Jie, if you think about it carefully, there are many other important positions."

Qiu Laodao coughed dryly. He was afraid that his disciple would suffer a loss and did not understand the importance of this position. He wanted Su Jie to make another choice.

"Master, I've already thought about it. I'm really interested in puppetry, so I won't change it."

Su Jie shook his head, and Qiu Laodao was speechless.

The Puppet Hall department basically has no funds within the sect. Previously, it was a place where the elder Peng Qin'an only entertained himself. It had no status at all in the Ghost Ridge Palace.

The Ghost Ridge Palace will not allocate funds to the Puppet Hall, nor will it issue tasks or require the Puppet Hall to deliver anything.

If it weren't for Peng Qin'an's seniority and cultivation at the fourth level of the Secret Realm, a department like this would have been banned by Ghost Ridge Palace long ago.

"Okay, you will be the leader of the Puppet Hall from now on. I hope you will work hard and pass on the Puppet Hall."

Zhang Junwei handed Su Jie a token representing the identity of the leader of the Puppet Hall and said somewhat casually.

"Don't worry, Sect Leader. When the time comes, I will have an AK in my left hand and a Laifu in my right hand. I will definitely make the Puppet Hall bigger and stronger and create greater glory."

Su Jie stood up with great momentum and a voice like thunder.

"Very ambitious, but what is AK Laifu?"

Zhang Junwei looked confused, hearing this word for the first time.

"Well, this is a weapon I imagined. It's still in the concept. Maybe I will design them in the future."

Su Jie touched his head and said this.

"Then I'm waiting to see your performance. As for funding, if you can achieve results, the sect will not be stingy with funding."

Zhang Junwei patted Su Jie on the shoulder, turned and left.

As the leader of the sect, he had a lot of things to deal with when the outside world was under siege. Being able to take the time to come specifically to see Su Jie was considered a great deal of importance to Su Jie.

"You, you, what's wrong to choose? Choose this Puppet Hall. Do you know the puppetry?"

As soon as Zhang Junwei left, Qiu Laodao couldn't help it anymore and looked at Su Jie with hatred.

This kind of puppetry technique is very rare in the entire sect, and only Peng Qin'an's lineage has spread it.

Of course, Qiu Laodao didn't know how to do it, and he didn't even believe that Su Jie knew how to do it.

"Master, I can learn if I don't know how. I'm still very confident in my learning ability. Just wait and see. I'll give you a big one when the time comes."

Although Su Jie has never studied puppetry, he has actually practiced it.

The 800mm caliber biological cannon used by Thousand-Hand Centipede to bomb Putuo Airport can also be regarded as a puppet technique. After all, a lot of spiritual materials were added to it.

Of course, a biological cannon of that level relies more on the Thousand-Handed Centipede's powerful body flesh-splitting ability. Its power relies entirely on Su Jie's Purple Sky Divine Thunder, which is not an orthodox puppet technique.

"I don't expect you to give me any surprises. Why don't we just play with bugs? Do puppetry? Can this thing be used as food?"

Qiu Laodao was very disdainful and said bluntly: "It's not like I haven't dealt with Peng Qin'an before. He does have a few skills in puppetry. Some of the robots and demons he trained have some fighting ability, but in a fight , I will definitely win with your master, I can kill him with all my energy.”

Su Jie knew that Qiu Laodao's words were probably not bragging.

Puppet masters use various spiritual materials to make combat puppets and control them through spiritual power.

Generally speaking, the more powerful the battle puppet, the more precious the spiritual materials required, and the price is extremely high.

Compared to the Gu Master, not far from the Ghost Ridge Palace is the Insect Valley. It is easy to obtain natural materials. Even the most ordinary disciples can catch Gu Insects at no cost at all.

The puppet master worked hard and spent a lot of money to create combat puppets to fight against the Gu Master's insect swarm. Even if both were lost, the Gu Master could run to the Insect Valley to quickly restock.

The puppet master can only spend money, time and effort to re-create it. This is not to say that the puppet master is not good, but that in the Ghost Ridge Palace, the price/performance ratio is obviously not as good as that of the Gu Master.

"Master, I know all what you said, but I really want to study puppetry. I feel that this thing can be very profitable."

Su Jie chuckled and expressed another opinion.
