Mortals: Practice the Three Thousand Great Ways to Gain Eternal Life

Chapter 75: Three Thousand Great Daos Great Puppetry
Although Lin Shou was not a Jindan stage cultivator, he was aware of this.

Especially when Tang San's own life-saving magic weapon is a needle-shaped magic weapon, the spiritual awareness required is even greater and much greater.

Sure enough, although he relied on many magic weapons to temporarily resist the ferocious and terrifying attack of Lin Shou's formation, after his spiritual consciousness, true essence and magic power were exhausted, he had no way out and no longer had the strength to fight.

If it weren't for this restriction, wouldn't those Jindan stage cultivators who took out eight or ten magic weapons in one breath be able to fight against Yuanying stage cultivators?

"No!"

"what!"

"Fellow Taoist, spare your life!"

This was Tang San's last words, but it was impossible for them to win Lin Shou's mercy.

Before killing people to steal treasures, you should be prepared to be killed in return.

Even Lin Shou did not dare to kill and steal treasures from cultivators of the same level easily.

After all, no one can tell whether the other party is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

And Tang San is a living example of being killed in return.

After Tang San's body and soul were completely destroyed, leaving only a few magic weapons and storage bags, Lin Shou stopped the formation with a look of joy on his face and entered it.

He collected Tang San's remaining life-saving magic weapons and storage bags and checked them with his spiritual sense.

There were no other magic weapons in the storage bag, but there were five or six spirit stones, materials, and even demon pills, which was indeed a considerable windfall.

He has as many as 70,000 to 80,000 spirit stones, which makes him considered a wealthy cultivator among the Jindan stage cultivators.

Add to that a few magical weapons, and it's obvious that he's done a lot of killing and stealing.

The martial arts practiced by Tang San surprised Lin Shou so much that it even seemed too coincidental.

"Xuantian Gong" is a top-level martial art that Tang San stole from a righteous sect in the Chaos Star Sea. It is a well-known top-level martial art in the entire Chaos Star Sea.

However, for Lin Shou, who possessed the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Power" and the "Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi", it was nothing at all, so he didn't think much about it and just put it out of his mind.

Subsequently, other materials were checked.

His luck was really good, he actually found the last two materials for refining a Jindan stage puppet.
"Cloud Glue Stone" and "Demon Jade".

"I didn't expect to be so lucky that someone gave me a pillow when I was sleepy. This Taoist friend is such a good person!" After praising Tang San.

Lin Shou returned to the resting place, put the formation into a defensive state, and then put away the colorful grass that was ready to be ripened. Then he began to study the refining of the Jindan stage puppet of Chaos Star Sea.

If he could refine a few Jindan stage puppets, it would naturally be of great benefit to him in hunting high-level monsters.

After all, the Foundation Establishment Stage puppet and the Qi Refining Stage puppet he originally had on him had been mostly destroyed by monsters during the period of hunting monsters.

Therefore, new puppets are urgently needed, especially those in the Jindan stage.

This would be of great help to him, so naturally he had to study it carefully and refine it.

However, he had underestimated the difficulty of refining a Jindan stage puppet. Out of seven or eight sets of materials for a Jindan stage puppet, only two sets of materials were left.

If all fails, you will need to buy materials again.

The other materials are easier to get, except for the cloud glue stone and demon jade obtained from Tang San, which are more difficult to obtain.

Especially the Demon Spirit Jade, which is a special spiritual stone material that the seventh-level monster beasts love the most. It is said that as long as they swallow enough Demon Spirit Jade, they can increase the chance of advancing to the transformation stage. Under such temptation, how can the seventh-level monster beast, whose intelligence is not low, let go of the Demon Spirit Jade.

"Oh!"

Two days later, with an explosion, Lin Shou emerged from the smoke covered in dust, knowing that he had one last chance.

If he fails again, he will have to hunt the monster himself first, and then buy materials to refine a Jindan stage puppet.

"This time, we must succeed!"

Half a day later, after a good rest, Lin Shou prayed again in his heart and recalled all the failures he had experienced.

After making sure there was nothing wrong, he slapped the storage bag and took out a bunch of materials.

He began to skillfully refine various materials and turn them into corresponding puppet parts and components.

Then, assemble these puppet materials together like a figurine.

However, unlike a figurine, it needs to be refined throughout in the final step, which is equivalent to "installing the motherboard".

This step is quite dangerous. If you miss one step, it may lead to failure at best, or even the whole puppet will explode. Although there is no danger to life, the puppet will still be in a miserable state and covered in dust.

Most importantly, all these materials will be scrapped, which is what Lin Shou least wants to see.

Seven days later, after all the materials were refined into relative "parts" and "components", Lin Shou took another pill to restore the consumed true energy, magic power and spiritual consciousness.

After all, the next step is the most crucial.

If you fail, you will need to start all over again, and it will be difficult to find the materials.

After sitting cross-legged in meditation and gathering his energy for most of the day, Lin Shou finally felt refreshed and recovered. He opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the final step began!
This step took a full three days. If it weren't for Lin Shou's true energy and magical power, and his spiritual awareness which were far superior to those of the cultivators of the same level, it would have been exhausted long ago, resulting in the failure of refining the Jindan stage puppet.

However, this time Lin Shou succeeded after correcting all the mistakes and failures.

[The first Jindan stage puppet was successfully refined, reward: One of the Three Thousand Great Ways: Great Puppetry. ]

When the Jindan stage puppet was successfully refined, Lin Shou's familiar and cold voice sounded again.

The Great Puppetry Technique is one of the Three Thousand Great Ways. Although it is not as ranked as the Great Five Elements Technique, it is also ranked among the top 100 great ways among the Three Thousand Great Ways.

As long as the practice is successful, one can turn all things in the world into puppets with just a thought. There is no need for special materials or sacrifices. One can directly turn the opponent into a puppet. It can be said to be extremely cruel.

But now Lin Shoucai has only obtained the method of cultivation, but he does not know how to cultivate.

The simplest, most direct and most troublesome way is to refine 129,600 puppets, and they must be the puppets recorded in the Great Puppetry Technique.

The most important thing is that this is only a small achievement. If one wants to succeed in complete cultivation, the time and energy required are beyond the reach of Lin Shou's current strength and ability.

He could only refine puppets honestly, and they had to be 129,600 of them. This number of puppets made Lin Shou feel dizzy.

The only benefit is that I have an unprecedented understanding of refining various puppets. It is impossible for me to fail like before.

This is also the only thing that makes Lin Shou happy. After all, puppets can be of great help to cultivators.

This is especially true for Lin Shou today.

He could have a bunch of extremely loyal "bodyguards" and "assistants", which even Xin Ruyin couldn't give him.

Refining a puppet is not a simple matter, even with the "Great Puppetry Technique".

The materials required are also a considerable amount.

Therefore, Lin Shou was not too anxious, but chose to use the newly refined Jindan stage puppet to kill the monster first.

Moreover, because of the "Great Puppet Technique", Lin Shou made some slight improvements, which raised the level of the Jindan stage puppet to a higher level, reaching a level comparable to the middle Jindan stage. If a seventh-level demon pill or high-level spirit stone is used, it will be enough to unleash the powerful strength of a late Jindan stage cultivator.

If one refines it first and then obtains the "Great Puppet Technique", one can go one step further and directly reach the late stage of Jindan.

Although it is a little difficult to be comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, as long as there are sufficient materials, relying on the "Great Puppet Technique" that he has just warmed up, Lin Shou is confident that he can refine more than seventy or eighty Nascent Soul puppets.

However, it is more difficult if you need spirit stones.

Either use high-level spirit stones or use level 7 demon pills. Although the amount of spiritual energy contained in high-level spirit stones is only equivalent to one or two hundred mid-level spirit stones, in fact, even if you use thousands of mid-level spirit stones, you may not be able to exchange for a high-level cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation.

After all, the only high-level spiritual stone vein left in the entire human world is probably the one on Biling Island, and Lin Shou has not set out to look for it yet.

As for the high-level spirit stone veins in the past, they had long been mined out because of their amazing spiritual energy and ease of discovery.

However, in the world of immortal cultivation, many powerful arrays and prohibitions passed down from ancient times require high-level spirit stones to activate, and even ordinary arrays can increase their power by three points when activated with high-level spirit stones. In a battle, holding a high-level spirit stone can replenish a lot of spiritual power even for a Nascent Soul cultivator.

As a result, high-level spirit stones are naturally extremely valuable, and as time goes by, they become increasingly rare, and are almost extinct in today's human world of immortal cultivation.

Therefore, if Lin Shou wanted to activate a Yuanying stage puppet, his choice would be the seventh-level demon beast's demon pill.

As for the demon core of level seven demon beast, he has not hunted down a single one so far.

Demon pills of this level are extremely difficult to obtain, and even if you find one, it would be very difficult to kill it by relying on formations.

After all, the formation restrictions set up by Lin Shou could not prevent the monster from self-destructing its demon pill.

Although Lin Shou had never seen the power of a seventh-level monster's self-detonating demon pill, he could roughly imagine it. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be wary and temporarily avoid it.

In this situation, if the seventh-level monster self-destructs its demon pill, not to mention whether the formation can be preserved, even his life will probably be greatly affected.

Of course, obtaining the materials to refine a Nascent Soul puppet is a huge hassle. For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it is simply impossible to gather them all.

There are some auction venues that he simply cannot enter. If he tries to purchase items by force, he will end up like Tang San, seeking his own death.

Therefore, the plan to refine a Nascent Soul stage puppet can only be put on hold temporarily.

Lin Shou then focused his attention on the Jindan stage puppets. As long as there were a large number of Jindan stage puppets, even Yuanying cultivators would have to temporarily avoid them.

Therefore, it is a good choice.

But the most important thing now is to hunt monsters and exchange them for spirit stone materials!
……

So in the following period of time, Lin Shou relied on the colorful grass and his only Jindan stage puppet and formation to continue hunting monsters.

And relying on the puppet control method in the "Great Puppet Technique", the power that a Jindan stage puppet can exert will naturally be greater.

And vaguely, Lin Shou felt a little more "spirituality". Although it was extremely subtle, Lin Shou was sure that he was not wrong.

With this subtle "spirituality", the Jindan stage puppet will have more "autonomy" when killing monsters, which makes Lin Shou feel more at ease.

In this way, after changing several places, Lin Shou left this sea area and went to other sea areas to hunt monsters.

So far, Lin Shou has not hunted down a level seven monster, as if there are no level seven monsters in the sea where he is.

But the fourth, fifth, and sixth level monsters were all harvested. As for the monsters below level four, they were of little use to Lin Shou. Moreover, Lin Shou knew the principle of sustainable development, so he tried to let them go.

……

"Fellow Taoist, we meet again."

Just as Lin Shou entered the teleportation stone house and was about to leave and return to Tianxing City to deal with some of the monster materials on his body, he unexpectedly met an "acquaintance".

"The junior has met the two seniors,"

Following the direction of the voice, Lin Shou bowed slightly to Zhou Yuan and Wang Heng.

"Haha! I wonder if you have gained anything?"

Seeing this, Wang Heng said with anticipation. After all, the two of them had been in this sea area for so long, and they had not encountered many level 6 or 5 monsters, let alone the level 7 monsters they wanted.

Moreover, even if they encountered them, most of them escaped from them.

So in the end, they only killed two level five monsters, and one of them even exploded, causing Zhou Yuan to be injured and have to recuperate for a while.

As soon as they had recuperated, the two of them set out to leave, but they did not expect to meet Lin Shou, a cultivator who was only in the foundation-building stage.

Moreover, because of his technique, the evil spirit he felt from Lin Shou was even stronger than that of an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator. Most importantly, the previous sense of danger was getting heavier.

This made him curious about Lin Shou's identity and whether he was playing the role of a pig to eat the tiger. This kind of thing was not uncommon in Chaos Star Sea.

"Harvest. I was lucky enough to kill a few level 4 monsters. I plan to take the materials back to Tianxing City to see if I can exchange them for more spirit stones and buy some elixirs to further improve my strength."

Hearing this, Lin Shou began to explain.

"In exchange for spirit stones and elixirs, I happen to be Wang Heng, the Grand Elder of Miaoyin Sect. I can exchange some spirit stones and elixirs with you. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss."

Hearing Lin Shou's words, Wang Heng showed joy on his face and said quickly,

He also wanted to take the opportunity to see what kind of level 4 monster Lin Shou had hunted.

After all, Lin Shou has such a strong evil spirit that it must not be as simple as hunting down three or five monsters.

"This...thank you very much for your kindness, Senior Wang."

When Lin Shou heard the words "Miaoyin Sect", he realized that the two people in front of him were the parents of Fairy Zi Ling. He didn't expect to meet them by such a coincidence.

Moreover, the Wang Heng in front of Fairy Zi Ling's father, the great elder of Miaoyin Sect, has not died yet.

I just don’t know whether Fairy Zi Ling was born.

"It's okay, you're welcome, little friend."

Wang Heng said with a smile under Zhou Yuan's puzzled gaze.

"Yes! These are the monster materials obtained from the monsters killed by the younger generation."
