Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 108: Magical Puppet (Xie Hai, Bookworm Alliance Leader)

After Yi Dong returned to Zijin Mountain, he sent a message to Yi Ling.

He might be able to collect fourth-level spiritual objects by himself, but fifth-level spiritual objects are beyond his ability.

In the fairyland, apart from the fairyland officials,

Fifth- and sixth-level spiritual creatures usually exist in ancient families or meritorious families.

Only those families with a heritage of more than ten thousand or even one hundred thousand years have enough time and ability to plant a large number of fifth- and sixth-level spiritual plants.

Qingzhou is a medium-sized provincial capital, and there is no ancient family that has established a clan in Qingzhou.

Therefore, in Qingzhou, except for the immortal officials, it is very difficult to collect fifth-level spiritual objects.

After sending the message, Yi Dong was not idle either.

He began to study the bloodline of the two-clawed white snake.

He had wanted to cultivate the Yi family's own spiritual beast in Zijin Mountain a long time ago, but he had never found a suitable breed.

And the two-clawed white snake is already very good.

After analyzing the bloodline of the two-clawed white snake, Yi Dong discovered that this kind of spiritual beast, if properly cultivated, could be promoted to the second level in about fifty to eighty years.

As for the third level, it might take about two hundred years to cultivate it.

As for the fourth level, that is difficult, perhaps even more difficult than training a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the cost-effectiveness is not high.

Yidong is best at biological knowledge.

In just half a year, he figured out how to sterilize two-clawed white snakes harmlessly and ensure the birth of more children.

In the future, any double-clawed white snakes given to the tribe members will naturally have to be sterilized.

Yi Dong didn't want the precious spiritual beast species like the double-clawed white snake to spread out.

There is another more advanced bloodline in the body of the two-clawed white snake, which is not inferior to the Chilong bloodline. It is obviously another monster with true spiritual bloodline.

Yi Dong never figured out what kind of bloodline this was.

There is no information about this kind of monster in the knowledge collected in Yunmeng County.

Due to lack of understanding, it is impossible to develop a method to purify blood in a short period of time.

"The double-clawed white snake is enough."

Yi Dong is not training a guardian beast for his family. It is highly likely that he can reach the third-level spiritual beast. It would be a bit of a waste to use it for the current clan members.

However, it may be possible to develop a spiritual beast that is more powerful than the two-clawed white snake in the future.

Yi Feng said that after graduation, he would join the Taoist academy and go to Shenmu Taoist Academy for further studies. At that time, he would contract a spirit beast with true spirit bloodline at Shenmu Taoist Academy.

If I have the chance in the future, I can study Yi Feng’s spirit beast, and perhaps I can cultivate a spirit beast that is better than the two-clawed white snake.

A few more months passed and it was the 937th year of Qiantian.

On this day, Yi Ling came back and brought back the Holy Spirit Tree Heart Liquid.

"Oh, father, you have contacted the underground demon tribe. This is a good opportunity."

Yi Ling said:

“Even if the resources underground are not as abundant as those on the surface, they are still quite abundant. There are many spiritual creatures among them that have become extinct on the surface. We can gain a lot by trading with those monsters.”

"Since there are so many resources underground, why doesn't the Immortal Kingdom develop them? Is it really because it's difficult? But no matter how difficult it is, it shouldn't be as difficult as attacking the outside world, right?"

Yi Dong couldn't help but ask.

After Yi Ling pondered for a while, he said:

“I heard from a friend that there are very powerful creatures sleeping deep underground in every state. Most of those creatures are like the guardian gods of the Tiandu Spirit Realm.

Moreover, starting a war underground would cause great damage to the Tiandu spiritual world, which is something that neither side wants to see.

The fairyland and the powerful creatures underground signed a non-aggression pact.

When humans ruled the earth, underground creatures were not allowed to appear on the surface, and we humans were not allowed to go underground.

However, although the Immortal Kingdom and the underground creatures signed a contract, the Immortal Kingdom was undoubtedly the stronger party. Over the past 100,000 years, the Immortal Kingdom secretly occupied a part of the underground space, and the underground creatures had no reaction. Once the other party violated the contract, the Immortal Kingdom would destroy the underground creatures in that area.

This is also the reason why there are no disasters in our fairyland. The fairyland is afraid of killing them.

I heard that during the chaotic period, there were many underground caves in each state, and the underground creatures would often invade the surface. Now, those caves have basically been closed."

"Aren't all the creatures underground monsters?"

“The existence of the Tiandu Spirit Realm is difficult to calculate. Some creatures underground have existed for much longer than the history of monsters. It is rumored that some of these creatures are descendants of the Tiandu Spirit Realm from the distant past.

I also saw these in the Taoist temple and didn't understand most of them.

However, trading with underground creatures is not a big problem, as many powerful families are doing it. "

"Okay, can you trade for those fifth-level spiritual objects?"

Yi Dong listed the five-level spiritual objects needed for the Demon King Pill one by one.

Yi Ling nodded.
“If it’s a sixth-level spiritual object, it might be a little difficult to find, but a fifth-level one can usually be bought with spiritual stones, um, high-quality spiritual stones.

If you use mid- to low-quality spirit stones, no force will sell them unless the premium is huge.

However, father, trading with underground creatures has great benefits but also great risks.

You said that the people you were trading with were from the Lijiang demon tribe, but I don’t think that’s necessarily the case.

Being able to collect resources to refine the Demon King Pill, they are no ordinary force in the underground of Qingzhou.

Just like in our Qingzhou area, generally only the state-leading families and above can have immortal cultivators who have reached the level of spiritual transformation.

Our Qingzhou is not a first-class state, and there are very few people who can return to the void. Qingzhou even has only three sixth-level spiritual veins, two of which were built by the Immortal Kingdom.

Given Qingzhou's spiritual environment, there are very few fifth-level creatures underground in Qingzhou.

The Lijiang demon clan is able to come up with so many spirit stones and resources to refine the Demon King Pill. They either have a large territory underground or are connected to other underground forces. The underground creatures are relatively brutal, and they can live in peace with them. Even if the Lijiang demon clan does not have a fifth-level demon king, they have an extremely powerful fourth-level demon king, or even a demon king with true spirit blood.

We, the Qi Refining King, can fight against those at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage without driving a warship. We can defeat ordinary Golden Cores by driving a small warship, but we cannot defeat the mid-to-late stage Golden Cores of the seventh, eighth, or ninth turn, let alone the Nascent Soul stage.

The Nascent Soul has four qualities: Zifu, Xuanji, Lingxu and Shenhua.

Many of the monsters with true spirit blood are comparable to the Shenhua Yuanying.

If the demon king of the Lijiang demon clan is really comparable to the demon king of Shenhua Yuanying, then you, father, will not be able to escape."

"Oh, so dangerous?"

Yi Dong began to think that no matter how many spirit stones he had, it was not worth risking his life for.

Yi Ling said again:
“It’s not about giving up.

I brought the pagoda back.

The 100,000 stupas of the Luofu Buddhist sect were able to annihilate the True Immortals, and a single ship could also defeat the Transformed Gods or even the Return to the Void. Even if my stupa tower is in tatters and cannot defeat the fifth-order demon king, it is not difficult for me to escape.

As for the fourth-level demon king, he is not afraid at all unless he is born with a true spirit.

There is just one problem. To escape from the Fifth-Level Demon King, it is necessary to activate the space-travel function of the Pagoda Tower.

This function, I have lost my memory, and I can’t use various Buddhist magical powers. I also don’t have the ability to activate it.

Father, you can study it and see when you can activate the pagoda's ability to shuttle, and then go trade with the Lijiang demon tribe."

As Yi Ling spoke, a five-hundred-meter-high pagoda appeared in the air.

Yi Dong had heard Yi Ling talk about the legend of the Hundred Thousand Pagodas and had always wanted to see it for himself.

Seeing the real thing now makes me excited.

From a technical perspective, the small warship he built himself could not compare with the small warship researched by the Taoist Academy.

However, Yi Dong gave up the offensive capability and strengthened the escape and defense capabilities of the small warship to the extreme. Ordinary Nascent Souls have no way to deal with a warship like his.

If I study the pagoda, maybe I can upgrade my warship.

The pagoda tower might be inferior to the most powerful warships of the Immortal Kingdom, but it was undoubtedly the strongest war creation that he had ever seen.

"Let's go research it first."

Three days later.

With Yi Ling's help, Yi Dong conducted a comprehensive analysis of the pagoda.

“It seems that it still won’t work. At least the spiritual consciousness and magic power of the Great Dao Foundation are needed to activate the pagoda.

Or let me regain my lost memories and open the Seven Treasures Pond."

After seeing the results of the experiment, Yi Ling was not surprised, because she had already studied it and was just accompanying her father in the experiment.

“Indeed, the technology of the Immortal Kingdom is very different from that of Buddhism. Normally, to activate the Seven Treasures Pond of the Pagoda, a lot of research is required.

But for me, there is no need to follow the formal path.”

"Oh, what can father do?"

"You come with me."

Yi Dong brought Yi Ling and entered the belly of Zijin Mountain from a corner of the yard.

Yi Ling knew where the Zijin Mountain was.

When they were young, their father brought them five siblings in here.

I just didn't expect that my father is still doing this kind of taboo experiment.

Sure enough, after passing through a passage constructed with a large number of magical instruments, Yi Ling saw vessels filled with flesh and blood.

The further you go down, the more utensils you see.

Yi Ling glanced around.

The structure of the formation becomes more complex as you go down.

Yi Ling could roughly see what specific effects the formation had. The most important ones were its ability to isolate spiritual consciousness and to destroy and decompose materials.

Seeing these formations, Yi Ling nodded.

As long as there is no physical evidence, even if my father is arrested, I can still get him out.

As the metal doors opened one after another.

The appearance of a strange force field made Yi Ling feel a little comfortable.

"Father, what is this?"

"It's almost there."

As the last golden door opened.

A colorful space appeared before Yi Ling's eyes.

Yi Ling looked carefully and found that the light was coming from those vessels.

To be precise, it emanates from the flesh and blood tissue inside the vessel.

Look at the glowing arms, thighs, limbs, heart, liver, lungs and other internal organs.

Yi Ling looked at Yi Dong.

Yi Dong smiled and said:

“This is the fruit of my biology, the divine implant.

Look at this arm, it fixes the supernatural power of the 'Seal of Compassion', this eye fixes the 'divine eye', and the brain is the 'telepathy'. "

Yi Dong enthusiastically introduced his achievements to Yi Ling.

Yi Ling looked strange.

"Is this research based on the magical seeds of Buddhism?"

"That's right, we, the human race of the Immortal Country, probably can't condense the seeds of magical power."

“Father, do you want to transplant these things into the people of our tribe?

This may attract the attention of the official authorities of the Immortal Country."

Yi Ling was a little worried.

“We haven’t researched it to that point yet. This kind of magical implant has an extremely strong rejection reaction. If it is transplanted into a human body, it will damage the body and even distort the soul.

If it doesn't work to be transplanted into a living body, it will be fine to transplant it into a puppet.

Puppets do not have the souls of living beings, and their souls are replaced by artificial spirits.

So there is no problem implanting these tissues.”

"Is it so simple to combine flesh and blood with magic weapons?"

"It was originally difficult, but your second brother brought some knowledge about bionic flesh and blood from Shenmu Taoist Academy. I have already researched several types of suitable bionic flesh and blood. It is not difficult to fill it with bionic flesh and blood and create a magical puppet."

“So that’s how it is. These puppets with Buddhist magical powers can be used as Buddhist monks.

It is indeed feasible to use a large number of magical puppets to drive the pagoda."

"How long can you stay in Zijin Mountain? If you are not in a hurry to go back, help me create a magical puppet."

Yi Ling knew that his father's original intention was for him to learn the knowledge of magical puppets, so he agreed with a smile.
