Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Chapter 414 Half a Year Later

After the sect war, along with the results of the war, Su Jie's reputation as a bloodthirsty demon also spread.

Inside the gate of Guiling Palace, although victory was achieved in this sect war, Guiling Palace itself also suffered huge losses.

Many disciples and elders died in the war, and their numbers were reduced by half compared to before the war.

And with a righteous character, it is impossible to obtain war reparations.

Although the other side suffered heavy casualties, they still have their foundation. If Guiling Palace gets ahead of them, I'm afraid the other side will forcibly launch an attack and make a comeback.

The sparse number of disciples made Guiling Palace immediately decide to open its doors and recruit new disciples on a large scale with much more relaxed conditions.

The Guiling Palace, which had just achieved a brilliant victory, was now extremely famous and in great demand.

Although it may not sound good to say that one has joined the Demon Sect, it is also a path to immortality.

There are too many frustrated independent cultivators in this world. Most of them have tried to join the orthodox sects, but were often rejected because of their poor talent.

When selecting disciples, orthodox sects sometimes test not only their talents but also their character, paying attention to such qualities as benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.

Guiling Palace welcomes everyone, no matter if you have poor talent. As long as you are a human being who can refine spiritual energy, you can become an outer disciple and become a glorious consumable.

As for your character, the demon cultivators don't care about that. No matter what kind of monster you are, no matter how cruel and despicable your character is, the demon cultivators don't care.

Therefore, as soon as Guiling Palace opened its gates to recruit new members, the recruitment scene in front of the gate was packed with people.

There are not only independent cultivators who come here on their own, but also black market merchants who recruit civilians from all over the place. After their talents are confirmed through simple tests, their families are given a sum of money, and then they are brought here to be resold to Guiling Palace to make a profit from the difference.

"There are so many people here! Hey, is Su Jie going to recruit disciples too?"

Ning Xinyue fanned herself with her hands as she looked at the densely packed queue of newlyweds in front of her. It was as chaotic as a market.

On the other side, behind the table where the elders were sitting, Su Jie fumbled with the two magic weapons in his hand, one was the defensive purple jade umbrella, which could protect the body independently, and the other was the offensive wind and thunder fan. With a wave of the fan, wind and thunder roared together.

These two low-grade magic weapons were obtained from Wei Ji. Spiritual light surged from Su Jie's palms and seeped into the magic weapons, eliminating the restrictions left by Wei Ji one by one and turning them into his own shape. This process might take ten days or half a month. It was not easy to refine low-grade magic weapons.

"I'm not recruiting disciples, I'm recruiting workers. Puppet Hall needs some labor."

Su Jie raised his head, put away the two magic tools, walked out from behind the table, and said loudly to the audience: "Are there any newcomers willing to come to the Puppet Hall? The treatment is excellent, and the monthly salary starts at ten spirit stones."

The Puppet Hall now has a Flying Boat that needs to be researched, and in order to meet Su Jie's needs, the demand for manpower is huge. Ordinary people are not enough, and cultivators with spiritual power are needed.

These newcomers who had just joined the sect became Su Jie's favorite targets. They were cheap and numerous, and were naturally suitable for the assembly line operations of the Puppet Hall.

"Ah! That's Tu Sujie, the Corpse Hand Man. I've seen his wanted poster."

"I want to join, Master Su, I want to become your disciple."

"Who is he? You are so excited."

"You don't even know him. He is the strongest of the younger generation in Qingzhou, the legendary devil who kills people without blinking an eye. If you can learn a few tricks from him, you will have no worries about food and drink, and your life will be safe."

"It is said that the Puppet Hall is extremely important in Guiling Palace, and it is managed by the powerful corpse-handed butcher. It will definitely be beneficial to join it."

After Su Jie showed up, the scene suddenly became agitated.

Most of the newcomers present had heard of Su Jie's reputation as the butcher of corpses, and a large number of people came running and lined up to join the Puppet Hall.

Some of them came here for Su Jie's reputation, and some for the treatment of newcomers in Puppet Hall, and wanted to come here to make a fortune.

The former is Su Jie, who has just become famous in Qingzhou, and the latter also became famous in Guiling Palace with the help of rocket launchers. These are the points that newcomers are extremely yearning for.

Not to mention that the treatment offered by Su Jie is quite good for newcomers.

"Who spread my name like 'The Corpse Hands and the Man-Slayer'? It sounds like a bloodthirsty person. Do I look like that kind of person?"

The corner of Su Jie's eye twitched slightly. He had already achieved the Secret Treasure Realm, but the name he had gained in the Soul Accumulation Realm was still there. He couldn't get rid of this name, right?

Ning Xinyue laughed heartlessly at the side and said, "You don't look like it, you are clearly good, I think this name suits you very well."

"Tsk!"

Su Jie knocked Ning Xinyue's head, looked at the long queue in front of him, and decisively carried out the recruitment.

Su Jie is not picky about the qualifications of these newcomers. After all, once they enter the Puppet Hall and are put on the assembly line, even the worst qualifications will be enough.

Therefore, the entire recruitment process went extremely smoothly. When a day passed, Su Jie recruited thousands of new members to the Puppet Hall.

Time flies!

Six months later.

Guiling Palace, Puppet Hall.

Su Jie, wearing the robes of an elder, walked in slowly.

In the Puppet Hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the flying magic boat that is hundreds of meters long.

On the huge Dharma boat, disciples of the Puppet Hall were jumping up and down.

Some disciples took spiritual gold and spiritual materials and used them to fuse and weld the gaps.

Some disciples dismantled the broken materials, repaired and polished them, or took new materials to replace them.

Some disciples are drawing new magic arrays and conducting experiments continuously.

Because most of the original magic arrays of the Flying Ark were destroyed, new research and experiments were needed to suit the overall characteristics of the Flying Ark.

There are more than a hundred disciples busy on the entire Dharma Boat, all of whom are disciples with more sophisticated skills in the Puppet Hall. Ordinary disciples are simply unable to participate in the arduous task of repairing the Flying Dharma Boat.

In half a year, about 200% of the damage on the Flying Ark had been repaired. The price paid for this was 100 million spirit stones paid by the Puppet Hall in cash, and 300 million spirit stones sponsored by the sect, a total of million spirit stones were thrown in.

It is like a money-eating beast, constantly devouring financial resources. No wonder among so many sects in Qingzhou, only the wealthy and powerful Guanchao Pavilion can operate the Feitian Fazhou.

"Hall Master!"

"Hall Master!"

"Hall Master!"

As soon as Su Jie walked into the Puppet Hall, shouts rang out.

The disciples greeted Su Jie with respect. Most of them were of the first or second level of the Soul Condensation Realm, and now they had found good jobs in the Puppet Hall. They were all grateful to Su Jie.

Su Jie nodded slightly and continued to walk forward past the Flying Boat. In addition to the restoration of the Flying Boat, the entire Puppet Hall has now expanded several times in area.

This place is like a busy factory, with more than 1,500 disciples busy at work.

They do it entirely manually, but their speed is not inferior to that of modern mechanized intelligent factories.

The participation of the magical energy of spiritual power, coupled with the physical fitness of every human being being a little superman, can accomplish tasks that seem incredible to ordinary people.

For example, what Su Jie saw in front of him was a huge puppet arm.

Its production was completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Pieces of iron ore were thrown into the pit. A disciple who was at the fifth level of the Soul Condensation Realm and practiced the Molten Fire and Fiery Light Art stood at the edge of the pit.

He let out a light breath, and flames spewed out of his mouth, covering the ten-meter-diameter pit.

Pieces of iron ore are heated to a boiling point and then gradually dissolved into a mixture of crude molten iron and impurities.

Generally speaking, turning iron ore into steel requires multiple processes, including crushing, screening and washing to separate minerals and impurities. The iron ore is then sintered to reduce it to metallic iron and refined into pig iron. Other processes and materials are then added to produce steel and various alloys.

But these are not so troublesome at Puppet Hall. There are no fancy converters, refining furnaces and other heavy machinery. Everything is done purely by manpower.

The molten iron in the earth pit was tumbling. Some materials were added and mixed into the required metal material. Several Puppet Hall disciples created wind with their palms, and the molten iron was separated. It cooled rapidly and took shape, becoming a simple steel rough embryo.

Then there are disciples who specialize in practicing the Sky-Splitting Palm, who will cut and polish the steel and restore it to the shape they need.

The entire process requires the collaboration of hundreds of people, and it must be passed down layer by layer and finally combined into a puppet arm. This is a monk assembly line.

Su Jie walked through the production area and came to the newly built training ground at the back. This area covered several thousand acres and was lined with targets of various sizes.

"No, the budget has been exceeded. I don't have that many spirit stones to give you."

"Sister Yun, please be kind. Our Canghuo puppet really needs to be modified. You can't stop us from doing it. It's a fifth-grade puppet that can match the Secret Treasure Realm. We are just a little bit away from success."

"This isn't the first time you've said something like this. The success you talk about is always just a little short of success."

"Sister Eyun, you have to believe us. This is really the last time. Please put aside your prejudice and think about it seriously."

As soon as he entered here, Su Jie heard a heated argument.

A man and a woman were looking at each other, one was the furious Zhu Changqi, and the other was the cold and indifferent Chen Yun.

Chen Yun pursed her lips and looked up at the sky, as if she was thinking seriously. After a few seconds, she said to Zhu Changqi, "Okay, I have just put aside my prejudice and thought about it seriously. I will not approve it. The master gave me the funds for the Puppet Hall, not for you to do whatever you want, unless you come up with a reasonable budget."

Zhu Changqi's expression was stiff until he saw Su Jie.

"Master, look at Sister Yun. She is too stingy. We don't even have the money to carry out puppet transformation, which is the foundation of our Puppet Hall. These funds are not used for personal enjoyment, but are entirely for puppet research!"

As soon as he saw Su Jie, Zhu Changqi felt like he saw a savior. Hope appeared on his originally depressed face, and he rushed to Su Jie in two steps.

"It's about funding again?"

Su Jie crossed his arms across his chest, seeing through Zhu Changqi's little thoughts. Although the Puppet Hall was good, it also cost money.

"Master! We really cannot approve the funding this time. The success rate of the transformation they provided is too low and does not meet the funding requirements at all."

Chen Yun also came up. She was invited by Su Jie to come to Puppet Hall to manage the distribution of funds here.

"It's up to you."

Su Jie nodded. Before Chen Yun came, the disciples of the Puppet Hall let themselves go and piled high-quality spiritual materials on the puppets, causing the budget to be seriously over budget.

After Chen Yun came, the funds have been effectively controlled in the past six months. Controlling the funds is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the disciples in the Puppet Hall, so that they can no longer be reckless and think of using any good materials to build the puppets, thinking that the spirit stones really come from the wind.

Seeing Zhu Changqi's depressed face and wanting to say something, Su Jie interrupted him directly: "Okay, I see all the contributions of your Puppet Hall, but the funds are limited, you have to use them sparingly. Let me see your research results first, and see how the spider armor puppet is finished."

The spider-style armored puppet that Su Jie mentioned is a research task that Su Jie assigned to the Puppet Hall.

Su Jie came to the Puppet Hall today because the finished product of the spider armored puppet was successfully launched, and Su Jie came to inspect it.

"Master, please look, this is the result of our research."

Zhu Changqi put his other thoughts aside and took Su Jie to a warehouse.

When the iron door was pushed open, many puppets of various types were piled up in the large warehouse.

Most of them are various combat puppets developed by the Puppet Hall disciples themselves. They are basically as tall as a person, and the tallest will not exceed five meters.

In addition, there are a large number of rocket launchers, which are the most powerful weapons for slaughtering vegetables in sect wars. Later, the sect placed an order for 500 more. Now, the number of rocket launchers in Guiling Palace has reached 1,000.

If it weren't for the rocket launcher's great power in slaughtering vegetables, which became a trump card of Guiling Palace, Su Jie's original plan to export it to make money was rejected by the sect. Su Jie would have made a fortune with this rocket launcher long ago.

In the warehouse, in addition to various humanoid puppets and rocket launchers, the most eye-catching one is a strange-looking puppet.

Different from the humanoid puppets made by the disciples of the Puppet Hall, this puppet is twelve meters tall, and its eight huge long legs are particularly eye-catching.

Its overall shape is like a giant spider. It is dark black in color, and its body is covered with steel metal with complex patterns engraved on it.

The eight legs are thick and powerful, each with sharp claws. The head is a hemispherical metal structure with a pair of biological compound eyes installed on it.

Because it is a semi-finished product, the spider armored puppet looks round and round, not angular, and looks a bit clumsy. The real armor and weapons have not yet been added.

Su Jie stood in front of the puppet, stroking his chin and looking back and forth, looking at this special puppet that the entire Puppet Hall had participated in creating.

Su Jie named it the Spider Armored Puppet. Its battlefield is not in the Tianyuan World, but is prepared for the Blue Star.

This puppet looks like it is made of one piece of metal, but its interior is actually completely different.

Su Jie jumped onto the back of the spider armored puppet and opened a hatch here.

What caught the eye were masses of wriggling flesh and blood, with blood vessels clearly visible.

This is a tumor specially cultivated by Su Jie. He modulates the poisonous insects and then cultivates and grafts them using the "Wanbian Insect Dictionary" to make it suit Su Jie's needs.

Although it looks a little disgusting, this kind of sarcoma is actually a real good thing.

For example, the tumors inside the spider armored puppet were specially cultivated by Su Jie. They have the effects of earthquake resistance, fire resistance, and poison gas resistance. Su Jie spent a lot of spirit stones on cultivation.

The greatest feature of this type of sarcoma is its powerful regenerative ability, which was specially formulated by Su Jie after many experiments.

"Has this spider-armored puppet ever been tested?"

Su Jie turned his head and looked at Zhu Changqi. He had high hopes for this spider-like armored puppet.
