After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 134 133. Puppet inheritance, comprehensive improvement (2.2K words - please subscribe)
The dead silent mountain.

The chaotic and noisy vortex of evil spirit and the mysterious evil liquid hidden in its core not only did not add any liveliness to the scene, but instead made the dead silence even more intense.

In the courtyard, the snow was falling and stopping from time to time. The princesses of the Three Kingdoms would occasionally use their purple hands to pick up brooms to clear the snow to make the bricks and tiles in the courtyard clean.

Song Yan had also stood up and let Miss Yuzhuang tidy up his clothes. When she was done, he asked Yuzhuang to practice sword skills and gave her some pointers.

Finally, Yu Zhuang asked softly, "Brother, what are you going to do with the three girls outside the door?"

Song Yan looked at the "young lady in jade makeup" and sighed. The young lady in the past would not ask anything, but now she has begun to worry about others. Moreover, the timing of the young lady's question was quite good. She asked the question when she had served him and he seemed to be in a good mood when he got up from the bed.

This is undoubtedly growth.

All the tortures she had experienced in the past had turned into nutrients for her growth, making the "human-machine lady" of the past become more complicated.

He felt that this complicated feeling was a good thing for Yuzhuang, but he didn't like it that much.

He likes silly girls who are naive to the point of being childish, and the kind of silly girls who can easily make his blood boil.

He would not tease a girl like that, because he really felt that only with a girl like that as his partner would he feel relaxed and happy.

"I'll leave it all to you. You can do whatever you want with it. Even if you put it down on the mountain, I won't care."

Song Yan said casually.

Although the three princesses were beautiful, he had no idea about them.

"Thank you, Brother Dao."

The young lady in jade makeup bowed deeply.

Song Yan came to the training room again and took out several booklets from the storage space.

The secret techniques of paper figurines: "Paper making", "Paper controlling", and "Yin-Yang paper cutting".

The secret techniques of blood corpse: "The technique of raising corpses", "The technique of driving corpses", and "The technique of burying and refining corpses".

He flipped through them one by one.

The core of paper figurines lies in “paper making”. The stronger the paper, the stronger the paper figurine. “Yin-Yang Paper Cutting” explains the two methods of making “paper figurines”.

The engraved paper figures are the same colorful paper figures that Gu Huangzi had seen before, with men, women, old and young. The characteristics of this kind of paper figures are: large quantity, in groups, and the size can be adjusted within a certain range, but the individual strength is relatively weak.

The positive-carved paper figures are the most common images of beauties in white on the Paper Figure Peak. The characteristics of this kind of paper figures are: few, simple, but each one is quite strong.

Generally speaking, paper made from the blood of a strong man will definitely be used to make "positive paper figures", which are the real "mechas".

But the effect of the paper figure engraved in relief is also quite remarkable, with the main feature being the word "yin man".

Therefore, the paper-cutting skills learned by the entire Paper Man Peak Demon Cultivator are actually "positive paper-cutting", while the "negative paper-cutting" is secretly hidden by Gu Huangzi, with the purpose of "hiding people" and making it impossible for people to understand the mystery.

Before, the "paper man" that hid in the blood corpse's skull and pretended to be the blood corpse's soul was exactly like this.

However, due to the size limitation of the "engraved" paper figures, only one could be stuffed into the bloody corpse's skull.

After learning this information, Song Yan couldn't help but compare "paper figurines" and "shadow puppets".

He found:
First of all, the production of paper figures is much safer than shadow puppetry.

Those who make shadow puppets may suffer backlash for various reasons, for example, if their "skin" exceeds their own strength, they attract the wrong ghosts, or accidentally attract evil spirits, which may cause trouble.

To make paper figures, you just need to have the correct technique and know how to carve in relief and intaglio.

Secondly, in terms of operability, paper figures are much safer than shadow puppets. If the operator manipulates the shadow puppet improperly or does not have enough strength, the shadow puppet will backfire.

But as for paper figures, there will be no problem as long as you are proficient in the "Art of Controlling Paper", because the paper figure is a "mecha" that is connected to your own soul, so how can it backfire?
Again, in terms of image, paper figurines are better than shadow puppets.

The basic rule of shadow puppetry is “what the thing looked like in life, the shadow puppet will be pretty much the same, or even uglier”; however, as for paper figurines, as long as you know how to cut, you can turn them into a beautiful lady like a fairy, or a mighty man like a god.

but
Where there are advantages, there are naturally disadvantages.

First of all
Paper figures can inherit some of the magical talents from the "blood they are soaked in", but their physical strength is very weak.

The shadow puppet is equivalent to the strength of the original body.

If we take "Grandma Fox" as an example.

The paper figure made from Grandma Fox's blood and essence can master "illusion", "multi-tail explosion", and some basic spells that Grandma Fox is good at, but its body is not at the level of the Crimson Palace.

The shadow puppet made of Fox Grandma's skin not only possesses the "illusion technique", but also has the same physical strength as before. As for the essence and blood, it can be used for other purposes.

If you let the paper figurine of Grandma Fox fight against the shadow puppet of Grandma Fox, the latter will definitely win.

Second
The process of making paper figures is very slow. The blood needs to be soaked in paper pulp for months, and 49 days is the norm.

As for the shadow puppets, Song Yan peeled the skins yesterday and can make several today.

Therefore, Song Yan could make shadow puppets secretly anytime and anywhere, but he could not make paper figures.

The strong smell of blood made it impossible to proceed quietly.

As for refining corpses, they need to be supplemented with herbs to enhance the body's strength, and then dripped with one's own blood to control it.

If Grandma Fox's body is used to make a blood corpse, the resulting blood corpse will even be stronger than Grandma Fox in terms of physical strength.

However, Grandma Fox obviously makes a living by using magic, so she is not very valuable.

As for the "Corpse Burial Technique", it is more advanced than the ordinary "Corpse Raising Technique".

The latter can be raised anywhere there is mysterious energy, while the former will choose some special locations to refine corpses, so that the refined corpses have more powerful characteristics.

Flying, hiding underground, poison, water, fire, five elements, immortality of corpses, everything is available.
After Song Yan moved the six booklets onto the panel, he began to consume his life force to comprehend them.

However, this time, he practiced selectively, instead of every spell breaking through to the "second perfect mutation".

Because some of the contents are overlapping, such as "The Art of Raising Corpses" and "The Art of Burying and Refining Corpses", the latter is obviously better.

Also, some spells are of too low a level. Even if he spends time to complete the mutation, it will not have any effect. This is obviously the case with the "Paper Controlling Technique" and "Corpse Driving Technique".

As for these, he only planned to practice until "one mutation", and then make up for it if he had enough lifespan.

A deep understanding of various mysterious spells emerged in his mind, and the vast amount of knowledge gave him a sense of satisfaction as if he had become the leader of the Puppet Sect.

Papermaking, threshold: none; 5 years to perfect; 24 years to deduce a variant spell "Papermaking"; 470 years to deduce a second variant perfect spell "Spiritmaking"

Compared to the Papermaking Technique, the Evil Paper Technique only makes the paper figures made by it slightly stronger in body due to the participation of "evil spirit", but it is also limited. As for the Evil Spirit Technique, it makes the body of the paper figure even stronger, and all the spells used can contain a trace of evil spirit devouring function.

These nearly 500 years of deduction made Song Yan feel like "he was regretting it so much". It would not have been so bad if he was at a lower level.

Now, it is just like chicken ribs.

He originally thought that papermaking was the origin of paper figures and needed to be better, but the facts proved that low-quality spells were low-quality spells, even if they mutated, they were still low-quality.
