Primordial Treasure Mirror

Even if it's just facing a puppet at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Su Yang did not overestimate himself.

Because he didn't know what abilities this puppet possessed.

Animal-shaped puppets are extremely common in the art of puppetry.

But it is precisely because it is common.

This leads to a variety of modifications.

Su Yang had heard of it before.

There was once a great cultivator in the art of puppetry who crafted a cat-shaped puppet the size of a fist.

They appear harmless, and because they are endowed with intelligence, they are no different from ordinary kittens when teased.

However, when the great cultivator used this puppet in battle, the cat-shaped puppet would quickly transform into a giant winged tiger several meters in size.

That great monk had an enemy who had been tricked by this cat.

since then.

People in the cultivation world are extremely wary of all beast-shaped puppets.

They feared that its appearance was merely a facade.

As for crafting humanoid puppets, the art of puppetry demands extremely high levels of skill.

Low-level puppets are fine, not much different from beast-shaped puppets, but high-level ones are different.

Humans are the most intelligent of all beings, and it is extremely difficult to give human beings intelligence, and there should be no superfluous modifications.

Even high-level cultivators specializing in puppetry rarely attempt to create high-level humanoid puppets.

therefore.

In the cultivation world, people are not as wary of humanoid puppets as they are of beast-shaped puppets.

In the art of puppetry, most cultivators focus their efforts on beast-shaped puppets. Human-shaped puppets are basically like the ones Su Yang encountered in the first two levels, which are stone figures, metal figures, or wooden figures.

Their strength is weaker than that of cultivators of the same level, and they don't have any special abilities.

Animal-shaped puppets are different.

No one knows what modifications the puppeteers who created them will make to them.

Even a beast-shaped puppet at the late stage of Qi Refining might unleash the power of a perfect Qi Refining cultivator under the modification of a puppet master.

Su Yang stopped using low-level spells and instead used the Flying Scythe Slash Technique.

A golden scythe slashed out.

As he had predicted, he failed to achieve his goal in one fell swoop.

The blow struck the wolf-shaped puppet, leaving a white mark and accompanied by the sound of metal clashing.

The wolf-shaped puppet was jolted back several steps by the shock, then leaped up and pounced straight at Su Yang.

Its reaction speed was not as good as that of cultivators of the same level, but its speed was astonishing.

Fortunately, Su Yang had been preparing his spells all along.

When the wolf-shaped puppet pounced into the air.

Several guy ropes had already been tied to it.

And it restricted the wolf-shaped puppet's movements before it could make any bigger moves.

The wolf-shaped puppet's limbs were bound by wind ropes.

It tried to break free, but could only loosen the rope; it couldn't break it.

After doing this for a while...

The wolf-shaped puppet had just begun to use its magic.

The azure wind blades whistled, severing the wind ropes.

However, this is such a long time.

It was more than enough for Su Yang to use two more Flying Scythe Slash techniques.

Two flying scythes struck the same spot in quick succession, and the wolf-shaped puppet's body finally gave way, being cleaved in two.

even so.

The wolf-shaped puppet could actually move.

Su Yang had no choice but to deliver another blow, finally shattering the wolf-shaped puppet completely and causing it to re-merge into the ground.

Then two wolf-shaped puppets appeared.

Su Yang still only used two mid-level spells, Wind Binding and Flying Scythe Slash, combined with the improved Wind Control Technique, to dodge the wolf-shaped puppets' attack while eliminating the two puppets.

When the four wolf-shaped puppets appeared.

Su Yang was under a lot of pressure.

This time, he not only used the Flying Scythe Slash and Wind Binding Technique, but also the Sand and Rock Falling Curse.

Su Yang was not weak, but he couldn't deal with four beings of similar strength at the same time.

As the four wolf-shaped puppets pounced on him, he felt an overwhelming pressure.

Fortunately, he had the Sand and Rock Spell, a group attack spell.

Using the Wind Binding and Flying Scythe Slash techniques, the positions of the four wolf-shaped puppets were restricted.

Finally, the Sand and Rock Spell was used to defeat the four wolf-shaped puppets.

However, this time, he was not unscathed.

Not only was his spiritual energy greatly depleted, but he was also pounced on by a wolf-shaped puppet and scratched with its claws.

Fortunately, the Rock Skin Wood Armor Technique blocked the attack for him; only the wooden armor was shattered, and he was not injured.

So after dealing with the four wolf-shaped puppets.

Su Yang had given up hope of dealing with the eight wolf-shaped puppets.

He was already struggling against the four wolf-shaped puppets; he was no match for the eight puppets.

After the eight puppets appeared, Su Yang barely lasted for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before he was almost injured.

Eight puppets at the ninth level of Qi Refining surrounded Su Yang from all directions, leaving him no room to catch his breath.

Not to mention that he consumed a lot of his spiritual energy.

Even if his spiritual power were restored now, he still wouldn't be able to defeat so many puppets at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

So he gave up the initiative to attack and instead used his agile movements to dodge the puppet's attacks.

And from time to time, he used the Wind Binding Technique to restrict the movement of the eight wolf-shaped puppets.

Using this method, Su Yang only lasted for half an hour.

He had less than 20% of his spiritual energy remaining.

"Will these puppets keep attacking me indefinitely? Is there no time limit?"

Su Yang persisted because he thought that even if he didn't defeat the puppet, as long as he could hold out for enough time, he could still be considered to have cleared the game.

He knew very well that he had reached his limit at this level.

But he wanted to see if he could get the reward for this level.

"Given the current situation, I have no choice but to retreat to the next floor."

Just as Su Yang decisively stopped and was about to retreat to the next level.

Those eight wolf-shaped figures.

As he approached the stairs, the puppets seemed to receive some kind of command and collectively stopped moving.

Then it slowly sank back to the ground and disappeared.

The hall on the third floor quieted down.

Su Yang stopped what he was doing, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes:

"What's going on? Is someone manipulating things from behind? Or have I passed this level?"

next moment.

A light shone on the central stone platform.

Two things appeared on it.

A cinnabar bottle, and a pair of long boots that shimmered with golden-purple light.

Su Yang's eyes lit up with joy. He looked around, stepped forward, and picked up the two items.

He opened the jade bottle and saw the slightly golden pills inside.

He didn't recognize the pill, but by identifying the ingredients, he knew it was at least a top-grade pill used by cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

It's much better than the Qi Condensation Pills he'd taken before.

There were still nine pills in the bottle, enough for him to use for quite some time.

Su Yang was very satisfied with the pills, but he was even more satisfied with the pair of boots.

These are a pair of gold and purple boots, which look extremely noble. There are several different cloud patterns on the boots, which make them look very extraordinary.

"A top-grade magical artifact, and a boot at that!"

A smile involuntarily appeared on Su Yang's face.

On the previous level, he was hoping to obtain a top-grade magic weapon, and this level he actually achieved that.

not only that.

Boots are among the most valuable types of top-grade magical artifacts.
