Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 189 Big Puppet Technique
Zhao Shuang naturally knew the purpose of the four demon kings very clearly, so after Liuzu, Dixue Old Monster, and Ghost Hag left.

Three days later, Mu Qing brought Zhao Shuang to the place where they practiced the evil-repelling divine thunder: Mujing Cave.

The wood-attributed spiritual energy in the Wood Spirit Cave is extremely rich, making it an excellent place to practice divine thunder to ward off evil spirits.

It is also the best place for cultivators like Mu Qing who have taken shape from wood spirits to practice.

"Within three years, you must completely control the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder. You don't need to worry about the ghost woman; I will help you solve it."

Mu Qing looked solemn and put forward conditions.

"Yes, senior." Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuang smiled slightly and nodded.

"And give me the technique you practiced, maybe it will be useful to me?"

Mu Qing pressed the issue again, his tone blunt and unyielding.

"The technique I'm practicing is just an ordinary wood-attributed technique. What are you doing here, senior?"

Zhao Shuang asked knowingly.

It is impossible to describe in words how beneficial the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art" is to wood spirits like Mu Qing.

To put it bluntly, it almost laid the foundation for ascending to the fairyland and becoming the ancestor of the Wood Dao.

How could Zhao Shuang give it to Mu Qing? He still needed to use the "Qingdi Muhuang Gong" to control the other party.

"Don't talk nonsense. Give it to me, whether it's useful or not."

Mu Qing ordered in a cold voice,
"Okay, this is the technique." Seeing this, Zhao Shuang's face changed and he said quickly.

After saying that, he took out a emerald green jade slip and handed it to Mu Qing.

"Hmph." Upon seeing this, Mu Qing took the jade slip in his hand without hesitation and used his spiritual sense to examine it.

As she checked, her face showed ecstasy, and she didn't care at all that Zhao Shuang was beside her.

"Good, good, good. No wonder you can cultivate so quickly. This technique must be very useful. This technique must be from the Golden Palace Jade Book of the Immortal Realm. I never thought you would be so lucky."

An hour later, Mu Qing laughed happily.

However, Zhao Shuang's face looked extremely ugly. Of course, he did it on purpose. He needed to use this technique to control Mu Qing. This way, he could do it quietly and would not alert the other demon kings. This was very beneficial for Zhao Shuang.

"Yes, as long as it's useful, senior."

Zhao Shuang forced a smile and said
"Well, you are really lucky to be able to obtain such a fairyland technique. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

Mu Qing promised.

Zhao Shuang didn't believe a word of this promise, but still nodded and thanked him.

"Thank you, senior."

"Well, this is the method of practicing the Thunder Sacrifice Technique. Take a look at it first and try to comprehend it. If you can truly succeed in practicing it, it will be of great benefit to your future practice."

Mu Qing said meaningfully.

After saying that, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhao Shuang, "Thank you, senior."

Zhao Shuang continued, thanking him without changing his expression.

As long as Mu Qing practiced the wood-attributed technique he had given him, his life and death would depend entirely on his thoughts. Naturally, he wouldn't be angry, nor would he care about Mu Qing's purpose.

What's more, he also knew Mu Qing's purpose, so there was no need to worry.

As for the Tianpeng Clan, it is the same. There is no need to worry about anything. Anyway, he has done what he should do, which is enough for the Tianpeng Clan to change this crisis.
If this still doesn't work, then he can't be blamed, and his value will naturally be gone. It all depends on the luck of the Tianpeng tribe, and he won't interfere anymore.

In this way, a year passed with each of them having their own calculations, and Zhao Shuang also practiced the thunder sacrifice technique to a great extent, which made Mu Qing very happy. But what made Zhao Shuang unhappy was that Mu Qing did not encounter the technique he gave, so his plan had to be delayed for the time being.

But it’s not a big problem, I will be able to practice it sooner or later.

On this day, after Zhao Shuang survived the thunder tribulation, the old monster Dixue came to visit.

The purpose is also to get him to help.

Zhao Shuang was naturally clear about this, but he still asked the question despite knowing the answer.

"Senior, what do you want from us?"

"Hey, were you the one who destroyed my two blood puppets?"

The old monster Dixue chuckled and said.

"Senior, that's right. I was just trying to protect myself. I hope you can forgive me."

Zhao Shuang answered truthfully.

"Of course I know, but since you destroyed my blood puppet, you have to do me a favor. Are you willing?"

The old monster Dixue said again.

"Junior is willing, please speak up, senior."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang nodded and agreed.

"Okay, Fairy Mu Qing, I'll borrow this Daoist Fellow Zhao for a few days."

Seeing this, the old monster Dixue looked at Mu Qingdao.
"Since Brother Dixue has spoken, how could I possibly refuse?"

Mu Qing nodded slightly and agreed.

After all, among the four demon kings, she is the weakest, so it is time for her to practice the skills given to her by Zhao Shuang.

She had a hunch that if she could successfully cultivate, even Liuzu would not be her match, but it always felt a little weird.

But I can't tell.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao, please come with me."

The old monster Dixue looked at Zhao Shuang again and said?
"Yes, senior."

Zhao Shuang naturally would not refuse, as he could also take the opportunity to control the methods of the Earth Blood Monster.

This is a good opportunity and he will not let it go.

Soon, the two of them arrived in front of an inconspicuous cliff over a hundred feet high.

The old monster Dixue chuckled, then he made some hand gestures and chanted a spell, then lightly tapped with his other hand.

Suddenly, a shocking scene appeared. The cliff in front of them began to tremble as if an earthquake had occurred, and it was about to collapse, with loud rumbling sounds heard incessantly.

But soon, under the black glow, it turned into a stone dragon head.
Just as Zhao Shuang was observing in amazement, the two huge stone eyes on the dragon's head opened, revealing terrifying blood-red eyeballs. However, this had no effect on Zhao Shuang and the Earth Blood Monster. Instead, it slowly opened its bloody mouth.

And inside the bloody mouth is a surprising white passage.

Seeing this, one of the clones of the Earth Blood Monster said,
"go in!"

The passage is extremely wide and high, about four or five meters.

Moreover, the four walls are built with black stones, and a moonstone can be seen reflected at every distance. Although it is not very useful for cultivators, it can still play a psychological role.

Without saying a word, after going more than a hundred feet underground, Zhao Shuang and the Earth Blood Monster appeared in an open area.

Moreover, seven or eight entrances lined up in a row come into view, all identical, making it difficult to know which one to go to.

Zhao Shuang didn't know, but the old monster Dixue knew. Without stopping, he walked towards a passage.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang naturally followed closely, not daring to waste any time. The mountain he was in was not much different from an ant nest, densely packed with countless crisscrossing passages, like a huge maze that made it impossible to leave.

The most important thing is that there are quite a few of these passages, with puppets of various shapes and sizes, like worker ants and worker bees, holding various giant blades, walking back and forth in them, inspecting everything.

There are so many puppets in different shapes. Some are golden and made of metal; some are gray and formed by the condensation of earth and stones; and some are agile and are carved from a whole piece of spiritual wood.

However, without exception, they all have considerable strength, and some of them are even not inferior to the cultivators in the God Transformation Stage.

Even though Zhao Shuang already knew all this, he was still quite surprised. The old monster Dixue's puppetry skills were far better than his. Unfortunately, he was a man and had other purposes and ulterior motives.

Otherwise, Zhao Shuang could have handed over some of the contents of the Great Puppetry Technique to him.

Now, we have to think about how to control it or kill it.

Just as Zhao Shuang was thinking about how to deal with the situation, the old monster Dixue quickly left the honeycomb-like maze.

We came to a crimson lake, and then a scorching heat wave hit us in the face. It turned out to be a natural underground lava lake!
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a blood-red palace on the surface of this lava lake.

Obviously, this is where the old monster Dixue lives. The palace is not big. For a cultivator in the fusion stage, it is only more than a thousand feet.

However, it was filled with a strong bloody smell that was unbearable to look at, yet it was also extremely exquisite, making people unable to help but take a few more glances. A blood-red crystal stone several meters in size was embedded in the top building of the palace, emitting a strange bloody light.

Zhao Shuang was not surprised for too long, the old monster stopped, then shook his sleeves, and a yellow bell shot out and fell into the hands of the old monster.
As the bell rang, the red lava in the lava lake rolled like waves, and then a giant beast with a body length of ten feet appeared in front of them.

This giant beast has a shelled body, like a giant turtle, but its neck is long and thin, and it has three strange heads that look like elks, each with strange bright red horns like coral.

This giant beast was obviously suspended in the air because of the sound of the bell, and as soon as it appeared, it flew straight towards the Earth Blood Monster.

At this time, the old monster Dixue also introduced himself with great pride.

"This is the Turtle Beast, my guardian spirit beast. It's a natural fire spirit, capable of releasing three different kinds of spiritual flames. In the Lava Fire Spirit Land, its power was immense. Even I expended immense effort to subdue it. To enter my Blood Flame Palace, one must pass by this beast."

"Senior has great magical powers, juniors admire him greatly!"

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang quickly complimented him.

"You are quite good, young man. You are able to ignore the soul-stirring sound of the bell. Even a high-level spirit commander cannot completely avoid it."

The old monster Dixue said meaningfully.

"Please forgive me, Senior. I just have a stronger spiritual sense."

Zhao Shuang said this very modestly.

"Hey, maybe!"

Upon hearing this, the old monster Dixue smiled without comment and said nothing more.

Because the turtle beast had already swam to the shore, the three heads of the Earth Blood Monster raised together and roared, the sound was similar to the croaking of frogs.

At this moment, the old monster Dixue raised his hand, and a black ball as big as a fist shot out with a fishy wind.

Seeing this, one of the monster's heads shook, and a red cloud spurted out, which immediately sucked the black ball into its mouth and swallowed it.

At this time, the three heads made a few low humming sounds, appearing to be extremely cheerful. Then they turned their bodies, and the tower's thick and long tail landed on the shore.

Then the Earth Blood Monster stepped onto the back of the long-tailed beast. Zhao Shuang naturally did not waste time and followed closely behind.

Then, the bell in its hand made another crisp sound, and the turtle beast immediately carried the three people and swam quickly towards the Blood Flame Palace in the center of the lake.

In just a moment, the three of them rode the monster to the front of the palace.

Immediately, Zhao Shuang and the two Earth Blood Monsters flew into the air and flew to the front of the temple from a low altitude.

As soon as Fang landed, the tightly closed palace door opened, and then two teams of people, no, they should be puppets, walked out.

One team wore red helmets and armor, each holding a flaming spear, their entire bodies enveloped in flames. The other team consisted of a gray mist, with faint black shadows looming within it, seemingly empty-handed.

As soon as the two teams of puppets came out, they bowed deeply to the Earth Blood Monster with great intelligence.

Seeing this, the old monster Dixue gave orders.

"Open the Yin Fire Palace. I will treat you well!"

Upon hearing this, the two teams of puppets immediately got busy.

Most of the puppets immediately returned to the palace gate, while the other half stood respectfully on both sides.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang was amazed and looked him up and down.

"Why, young friend, are you interested in this old man's spirit servant?"

The old monster Dixue asked.

"Spirit servant? I am ignorant and have never heard of it. Please give me some advice, senior."

Zhao Shuang said quickly.

"Hehe, it would be strange if you had heard of it. After all, this spirit servant is a kind of half-puppet that I have uniquely refined."

The old monster Dixue said proudly,

"I see."

Zhao Shuang suddenly realized.

"Let's go! Go in first, and I'll tell you later. After all, this is also related to what you need help with."

The old monster Dixue said.

"Okay. Thank you, Senior."

Zhao Shuang thanked him again, and then followed the Earth Blood Monster into the Yin Fire Palace.

After the host and the guest sat down, the table of the three of them was filled with some exotic fruits and fine wines, and there was a figure shrouded in pink mist standing behind them.

Whenever he drinks, the figure comes forward respectfully and immediately fills the glass dexterously.

However, the figures in the red fog were different from the figures in the gray fog just now. Not only were each of them slender, but the fog also exuded a fragrance that made people feel soothed.

"What do you see now, my friend?"

After drinking a glass of wine, the old monster Dixue said with a smile.

"They should be using the spirit of an instrument to refine the spirit into the puppet, so that it has some spiritual intelligence? I wonder if this is correct?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang thought for a moment and said.

"Hahaha, my friend is really amazing. He actually saw it at a glance. Yes, that's probably the case. It seems that your talent in puppetry is not weak. It really surprises me."

The old monster Dixue laughed loudly, looking extremely happy, as if he had met a close friend.

"Excuse me, senior. I just said it casually and I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be that simple!"

Zhao Shuang smiled slightly, took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

"Of course it's not that simple, otherwise how could it become my unique puppetry technique? But this is the general principle."

The old monster Dixue laughed.

"This old man has been researching for thousands of years before he succeeded."
