Xianlu Spring and Autumn

The puppet technique, like talisman Taoism, is often regarded as a heretical technique, and whenever it is discussed, it is always dismissed.

But the young monks are always chasing after them. Before their strength becomes stronger, whether it is a puppet or a talisman, they are excellent auxiliary means, and some can even be called life-saving trump cards.

The Great Witch Sect is the most famous puppet sect in the Qiongtian West Continent. The puppets produced are the same as the Talismans of the Taiyi Sect, and are widely sought after by middle and low-level monks, so this sect can also be regarded as rich.

With wealth in his pocket, it is much easier to cultivate himself or recruit apprentices, so the strength of the Great Witch Sect is also quite strong.

Wushan is the mountain gate of the Great Wuzong. It is said that it was not called Wushan at first, but was renamed Wushan after it was occupied by the Great Wuzong.

Ye Bai Yujian flowed through the air, he didn't rush on his way, he fell down from time to time along the way, practiced setting up some restraints according to the terrain of mountains and rivers, and flew for seven or eight days before seeing Wushan from a distance.

Wushan is already close to the desert, and further north, it is the westernmost edge of Shiwan Snow Mountain.So the climate here is quite strange, extremely hot during the day, and freezing cold at night.Apart from monks, very few mortals come here.

The landforms here also have a special flavor, as far as the eye can see, the loess is flying, the barren mountains and ridges are barren, and even the trees are extremely sparse, and the rare ones are also short and have fine branches and leaves.

And Wushan has obviously been specially arranged. At a glance, it is tall and straight, with a majestic mountain. The mountain is full of tall trees and shaded by green leaves.In the green shade, there are some pavilion-like existences dotted in twos and twos, which are quite a bit of fairyland and wildness. On the top of the mountain is a large palace-like building, escaping from the light.Of course there is no need to say more.

After looking at it for a while, Ye Bai lowered his sword light and headed towards a place like a mortal market at the foot of the mountain. From time to time, there was a sword light whizzing past by his side, and the place he was going was also there, so he knew it without entering the store.The business of the Great Witch Sect is quite good.

After landing, I saw people coming and going, bustling and bustling, a lively scene.The monks who come and go have different levels of cultivation, the low ones can only refine Qi and build a foundation, and the high ones are full of half-step Nascent Souls.

The square market established by the Great Wuzong has a radius of several hundred feet, and the area is not too large, but there are nearly a hundred shops.With the power of one sect, supporting a market, we can also see the prosperity of this sect.

Ye Bai casually walked into a shop next to him. This shop had a small facade, only about ten square meters. As soon as he entered, Ye Bai felt startled. There were about ten humanoid puppets hanging on the four walls.Everyone was lifelike, seeing Ye Bai enter the door.They turned their heads to look at him together, as if they were alive.

Ye Bai took a closer look. Most of these puppets had mana equivalent to that of monks in the late stage of Qi refining, and a few had the mana of the early and middle stage of foundation establishment.

"What does the senior want?"

A figure emerged from the pile of puppets, a middle-aged man in his 40s with dark skin.With a look of wind and frost on his face, when he saw Ye Bai, his expression was slightly reserved.

This person's cultivation is only in the late stage of foundation establishment, standing in a pile of puppets, if you don't look carefully.Almost thought it was also a puppet.

"Show me the best puppet in your shop."

Ye Bai said softly.

"Senior, wait a moment!"

The shopkeeper immediately took a puppet from the wall in the middle stage of foundation establishment, handed it to Ye Bai, and said with a bit of embarrassment, "Forgive me, senior, but with the current cultivation level of this junior, you can only make a copper puppet of this level."

Ye Bai nodded slightly, he was not in a hurry to buy, he just wanted to learn more about the puppet first, this puppet looks like a middle-aged bald man holding a big sword, with a fierce face, heavy hands, like a cast of copper and iron The skin is made of some kind of monster skin, and it feels a bit elastic to the touch. Ye Bai's eyes parted a trace of consciousness to probe, and found that the flesh and blood bones of this puppet were completely made of copper. At the dantian, there is a spirit stone-like thing exuding fire energy, which must be his energy source.

In addition, there are no meridians in the physical body, and there is no primordial spirit in the mind.

Ye Bai thought for a while and said, "How are the puppets of your Great Witch Sect classified? Are they the same as monks?"

The shopkeeper said: "That's roughly the case. According to the strength from Qi refining to Nascent Soul stage, our puppets are generally divided into four grades of iron, copper, silver and gold. The puppets of these four grades are mostly made of these four kinds of materials for the main body. Of course, there are many high-grade puppets made of other materials, for convenience, we still call them gold puppets or silver puppets according to their strength."

"How to drive and drive?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's very simple. Seniors only need to treat it as a magic weapon and brand it with their own primordial spirit, and then they can use it as they wish. If the vitality in his mana spar is exhausted, as long as the senior inputs the vitality of the same attribute, it will be Can be used again."

Ye Bai asked suspiciously: "Is there any limit to how many puppets a monk can control at the same time? If the monks of your Great Witch Sect drive dozens of puppets of the same realm each, wouldn't it sweep the Western Continent?"

The shopkeeper said: "Senior was joking, how many puppets can be driven at the same time depends on how powerful the senior's soul is. If the senior's soul is too strong, it is not uncommon to drive the golden puppets with the strength of the soul, but our big witch The cultivators of the Zongzong are only a little better than ordinary monks, and it is just a dream to sweep the Western Continent with puppets."

Ye Bai nodded. With his current Yuanshen strength, it shouldn't be a problem to force a puppet in the early stage of Nascent Soul. If there is a chance to get a golden puppet, it is also a good extra combat power.

"How many spirit stones does this puppet have?"

"Fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones."

After Ye Bai paid for the spirit stone, he put away the puppet. Naturally, he didn't like the strength of this puppet, but on some special occasions, it might be able to play a role, just like last time in Hell Valley, Lang Feizhou used a few puppets to lure Ziyu Feng away, even if it was not enough, he could give it as a small gift.

Seeing that he bought the puppet, the shopkeeper smiled even brighter and said, "Senior, what else do you need? Although the junior's level is not high, but he has practiced in the Great Witch Sect for nearly a hundred years, he still understands the way of the puppet, so he should have some understanding of the senior. help."

Ye Bai happily said, "Which level does a puppet with meridians and primordial spirit belong to?"

"Silver Golem, an advanced Silver Golem"

The shopkeeper blurted out: "Although puppets of that level are powerful, they are very troublesome to make and take a very long time. Only the elders of the inner and outer sects of this sect, or those elite inner sect disciples know how to make them. They are basically kept for their own use, if there is no urgent need for spirit stones, few people will sell them."

Ye Bai frowned slightly and said, "Are there any nearby shops selling them?"

When the shopkeeper heard the words, his face was a little embarrassed and he said: "I don't know about this. Seniors need to ask themselves. The largest shops here are all opened by senior monks of this sect."

Ye Bai nodded, left the store, and went to other stores.

The shops here don't only sell puppets, some of them also sell materials for making puppets. Of course, most of the buyers and sellers are the disciples of the Great Witch Sect.In addition, there are also many monks from other sects who are selling some magical medicines and other groceries here.

Ye Bai went around the biggest shops, but didn't get a satisfactory answer. It seems that those high-end silver puppets are really rarely sold.

Feeling a little helpless in my heart, I wondered whether I should directly worship the mountain and join the Great Witch Sect, and rely on the reputation of Taoist Yuelong or Ji Baiyi to exchange a few from the high-ranking monks of the Great Witch Sect...

"That guy actually came out?"

"Those young geniuses in the sect whose eyes are higher than the top, let him go down the mountain so easily?"

Just as Ye Bai was thinking, there was a burst of discussion among the crowd around him.

Ye Bai followed the eyes of everyone, and saw a middle-aged man walking down the path leading to the top of Wushan Mountain.

This person was dressed in some tattered clothes, with a thin body, five long beards, dressed like a scribe, with a sad look on his face, he looked a bit down, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he seemed to have just been severely beaten, even He also staggered a little when he walked.

"Fellow Daoist, who is this person?"

Ye Bai asked a white-clothed cultivator at the early Golden Core stage beside him.

The monk in white saw that Ye Bai had a mid-Golden Core cultivation base, and his breath was deep, so he didn't dare to push him too hard. He cupped his hands and said, "This person's name is Song Xuanyue. I heard that he came from the Eastern Continent. He is also a puppet, but he is arrogant. Very arrogant, after coming to our Great Wuzong, he actually said that our Great Wuzong's standard is not as good as his sect. Several talented disciples in the sect, out of anger, invited him to go up the mountain for a competition. See how disgraced he is now, It should be a complete loss."

Ye Bai nodded when he heard the words, and his eyes fell on Song Xuanyue again, with a look of great interest in his eyes. (To be continued..)
