However, the effect of this first attempt did not seem to be very ideal. Before Ye Qiuhan interrupted him, Qian Lin's experiment had basically been declared a failure.

"Oh, it's all your fault for disturbing me just now. Now the experiment has failed." Of course, this did not prevent Qian Lin from putting the blame on Ye Qiuhan.

If Ye Qiuhan hadn't disturbed her, maybe she would have successfully saved this failed experiment?

That’s right, this is all Ye Qiuhan’s fault!

Obviously, Ye Qiuhan also heard Qian Lin's intention to shift the blame, "Hey! This is not my fault, it's obviously your own fault that you are not skilled enough!"

Isn't it normal to fail when practicing spiritual skills? Qian Lin makes himself act as if he has suffered a great loss. How shameless.

The only one that got hurt this time was this little butterfly, okay!

"Tsk, it's your fault anyway, compensate me with the spirit stones!"

"You wish. Ye Xin and I have an appointment to celebrate together tomorrow. Do you want to come?" Ye Qiuhan crossed her arms and snorted with a proud look on her face.

"Celebrate? Celebrate what?" Qian Lin tilted his head.

It’s just winning the ring match, what’s there to celebrate?

This is a matter of course, isn't it?

"To celebrate the four of us being able to advance to the next stage of the competition, we get free food and drinks. Master said that I have performed exceptionally well these past few days, so he reimbursed me for all the spirit stones I spent this time." Speaking of Master, the expression on Ye Qiuhan's face became much brighter.

After today's competition ended, Ye Qiuhan saw his master under the ring.

The master happily praised Ye Qiuhan for several minutes and gave Ye Qiuhan a lot of rewards, which made Ye Qiuhan very happy.

As expected, the master still likes me!

"Your master...is called Reverend Bi Hai, right?" Qian Lin showed a pensive expression when he heard Ye Qiuhan mention his master.

"Yes, he is the leader of Yao Chi." Ye Qiuhan nodded proudly. Although she, as a little disciple, seemed to have embarrassed her master, it did not prevent her from being proud that her master was Reverend Bi Hai.

"strangeness……"

"Is there anything strange?" Ye Qiuhan suddenly felt a little unhappy when he heard Qian Lin's words.

Master, what's wrong with her?

But Qian Lin did not answer her question. Instead, he casually stabbed the butterfly's body with the silver needle in his hand, then leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and began to think.

She had never thought about it carefully before, but why did she have no impression of the character of Reverend Bi Hai?

Among the Yao Chi people, who else impressed her the most besides Ye Qiuhan?

It seems... gone?

No, no, she must have heard of the famous names of those venerables. Wasn’t Venerable Blood Butterfly killed by the venerables of Yao Chi?

But what are those venerables called?

Tsk, I can’t remember. Qian Lin opened his eyes slightly and tapped his head lightly with his fingers, trying to dig out more information related to Venerable Yao Chi from his memory.

However, she failed.

In her memory, there was no information about these venerables, including the Yao Chi Sect Master, Venerable Bi Hai, who should have been very famous.

"Can you tell me about your master?" Qian Lin looked at Ye Qiuhan and asked softly.

Ye Qiuhan blinked in fear. She didn't know what Qian Lin was thinking, but her intuition told her that Qian Lin was probably not thinking about good things.

Thinking back to what Qian Lin had said before, Ye Qiuhan became even more panicked.

Could it be that Master is going to... No, no, Master is so powerful, how could she die so easily!

"It's not what you think. I'm just a little curious about what kind of master can raise a stupid disciple like you." Qian Lin saw through Ye Qiuhan's thoughts and explained helplessly.

Don't think of everything as the worst. Maybe your master can still live for quite a while.

Although your master will definitely be dead in three hundred years, it doesn’t mean that your master will die in the near future, right?

"Hey, I'm not stupid, I'm smart!" Ye Qiuhan stamped his feet in annoyance, "If that's not the case, then why do you have such an expression? It's scary, don't you know?"

"This is the expression I have when I'm thinking about a problem. You're obviously thinking too much, aren't you?" Qian Lin retorted. She didn't say anything just now.

Ye Qiuhan was thinking in the wrong way, it was entirely her own problem!

The result of Qian Lin's initiative to ask about Reverend Bi Hai was that that night, Miss Saint came to talk to her again.

Fortunately, this time the saint only told Qian Lin that her master was still alive after three hundred years, but had been in seclusion to concentrate on striving for a higher level of cultivation.

It was normal that Qian Lin didn't have any impression of Venerable Bi Hai. After all, Qian Lin was a demon, so how could he have so many opportunities to know the news about Venerable Bi Hai, who basically never left the gate of Yao Chi?

After telling Qian Lin these things, the Saint Lady left the dream. It seemed that she was not willing to chat with Qian Lin in the dream for too long, causing Ye Qiuhan to be unable to get up tomorrow morning.

There was nothing much worth mentioning about what happened the next day. We just found a famous restaurant nearby and had a good meal, and then spent the afternoon strolling on the commercial street.

Qian Lin, who had a lot of spirit stones on hand, was quite stingy. This time he only spent a few spirit stones to buy a few silver knives that could be used as dissecting tools. He was unlike Ye Qiuhan and Jiang Lianyue, who wanted to buy almost everything they saw.

As for Ye Xin...well, this girl is just here to make up the numbers. What she is thinking about is probably when she can go home to practice sword skills.

What a tireless little crazy girl! After ten days of fighting in the ring, she didn't show any sign of fatigue. Instead, she looked radiant, as if she was getting more and more excited the more she fought. She really deserves to be a disciple of the Sword Sect.

After finishing the day's itinerary, Qian Lin couldn't wait to devote all his attention to practicing puppetry.

There are less than ten days left before the secret realm finals begin. She wants to make a few small puppets before entering the secret realm. Even if these puppets cannot be used on the front battlefield, they can be used as reconnaissance tools.

After all, it's a puppet, so there's no need to feel bad if it breaks, especially the ordinary animal puppets that Qian Lin is making now. The raw materials are small butterflies that can be found everywhere, so there's no psychological burden at all when making them.

But what discouraged her was that after nearly half of the ten days had passed, her puppetry still hadn't produced any results. The small butterflies nearby were almost wiped out by her, and the butterfly corpses in the trash can were several layers thick. She was still stuck at a critical point and couldn't break through.

"This puppetry is quite difficult." Ye Qiuhan was practicing in the bedroom, so Qian Lin took out the book on puppetry and started reading without any fear.

After staying at Qian Lin's place for a few days, the puppetry that previously exuded a terrible bloody smell has completely changed. The pungent fishy smell has disappeared, replaced by a smell similar to some kind of floral fragrance.

Now Qian Lin seemed to be reading an ordinary secret book. At first glance, there was nothing worth noting. This was one of the reasons why she dared to take the book out and read it.

As for why this change had occurred in the book, she could only make an irresponsible guess. Perhaps the person who wrote the book had deliberately set it up so that the book's performance would be consistent with the surrounding environment.

"It's strange. Even the Fairy Chang Ye can learn it, but why can't I?" Qian Lin looked over the pages of steps that he had read countless times with some distress, but still couldn't find which step in his experiment had gone wrong.

There was nothing wrong with her spiritual consciousness or spiritual power, but why couldn't her spiritual power transform her into the master of the butterfly's body?

It's a really puzzling puzzle.

After putting the puppetry back into the storage bag, Qian Lin supported his head with both hands, closed his eyes and began to think.

Perhaps because of the butterfly, the first thing she thought of was the blood butterfly she saw at Sister Hai's place a few days ago, and the Blood Sea Sect's Venerable who was still hiding in the dark.

The blood butterflies of the Blood Butterfly Venerable could also be considered a kind of puppet, although most of what makes them up is dirty blood, which is probably not very similar to the principles of puppetry in his hands.

As for which method is better, Qian Lin couldn't tell for the time being. The method used by Venerable Blood Butterfly could quickly and in batches produce a bunch of cheap puppets that could be used for reconnaissance and harassment, while the puppetry in his hands seemed to be more inclined towards elite single targets?

But...what would happen if you combined the two?

His thoughts began to diverge gradually, and a somewhat bold idea appeared in Qian Lin's mind.

Anyway, the blood puppet of the Fairy Changye was made of a mass of flesh and blood transformed from filthy blood aura, so if I replace the blood aura with water aura, there won't be any big problems!

Both are spiritual energy, but at most water spiritual energy cannot turn into lumps of meat like blood spiritual energy.

But for a small creature like a butterfly, it doesn’t take that much water energy to fill up!

Worth a try!

Qian Lin immediately started this attempt. According to the bold idea in her mind, she began to infuse her spiritual energy into the body of the dead butterfly on the table.

This time, the results of the experiment made her smile brightly.

When Ye Qiuhan finished her training, opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, what she saw was a butterfly flying in the air with an extremely twisted motion, and Qian Lin, whose eyes were distracted and seemed to be in a daze.

With a little curiosity, Ye Qiuhan walked to Qian Lin, raised his voice slightly, and shouted in Qian Lin's ear: "Hey, what are you doing!"

The first person to react to this slightly loud reminder was not Qian Lin, but the butterfly flying up and down in the air. As if startled by Ye Qiuhan's voice, the butterfly's body suddenly swelled up, and in Ye Qiuhan's shocked gaze, it turned into light blue firework with a bang.

The blue gas left at the place where the butterfly disappeared was undoubtedly water-based spiritual energy, so... Ye Qiuhan's gaze shifted to Qian Lin again. Has Qian Lin mastered that spiritual skill?

"You succeeded?" Ye Qiuhan was not too surprised. After all, Qian Lin had been thinking hard for several days with a frown on his brow and without an appetite. Today he finally made a breakthrough. It was probably a natural thing.

Qian Lin also came back to her senses at this time. When she heard Ye Qiuhan's voice, she nodded with a conflicted look on her face.

To say it was a success, it was a success, but using this thing still required some getting used to. Using one's own spiritual sense to imitate the flight of a butterfly was quite difficult.

Thinking about it this way, human-shaped puppets are actually easier to control, and I have actually taken a more rugged detour.

But there is no other way around this. Qian Lin can't capture people to be puppets like the Fairy Chang Ye, right?

……

After a few more days of experiments, Qian Lin couldn't help but admire the Blood Butterfly Venerable in his heart. Being able to control so many blood butterflies as his own incarnations, it was no wonder that this Venerable was not mentally normal. It was a little difficult for Qian Lin to control a butterfly. If he could be like the Blood Butterfly Venerable... he couldn't even think about it.

Fortunately, Qian Lin has become quite skilled in simply controlling a butterfly, and it is obviously very useful to use it as a small scout at certain times.

It can be considered as an extra layer of insurance for the subsequent secret realm finals.

Although it has always been said that the biggest opponent in the secret realm finals is actually the other contestants, for Qian Lin, the threat posed by these contestants is far less threatening than the body-tempering spirit beasts mentioned by the Saint.

Those opponents couldn't beat her, and even if more than a dozen people attacked her together, they might not be able to defeat her.

Besides, if more than a dozen people form a team, conflicts will definitely break out. Even if a few people form a team, the number of people is unlikely to exceed five.

But here comes the problem. If others can form a team, Qian Lin can also form a team.

Look at who her friends are: Miss Ye Xin, who is second to none, Miss Ye Qiuhan, the Saint of Yao Chi who is still a little silly, and Miss Jiang Lianyue, the knowledgeable and future Venerable. This luxurious lineup makes Qian Lin unable to think of the reason why she lost to other contestants.

How can I lose? It's impossible to lose!

"Why not take all the throwing knives with me? And those little gadgets, the rules don't stop me from using them..." Although he despises his opponents strategically, Qian Lin takes those guys very seriously tactically.

This time she planned to bring all her belongings to fight in the secret realm. She had already sorted all the small props into her storage bag, so she could take them out at any time and launch a despicable sneak attack on the enemy.

Head-on swordsmanship is only one of Qian Lin’s strengths, while sneak attacks are also one of Qian Lin’s strengths.

Although there is no need to use these things against weaker opponents.

The main reason why Qian Lin brought these things with her was that she wanted to use them to deal with the spiritual beasts in the secret realm.

When attacking a person, she would deliberately avoid attacks on vital points, but she would not do that when attacking a spirit beast. The flying knife she threw out would definitely go directly for the head. She would not waste time if she could kill with one blow.

"Qian Lin, is it necessary to prepare so thoroughly?" Seeing Qian Lin stuffing various things into his storage bag, Ye Qiuhan was sweating profusely as he watched from the side.

There were many things in here that she had never seen before, and Qian Lin had never taken them out to use. But this time, she finally got a glimpse of the full picture of these things.

The types are quite rich and complete, and can cope with almost all environments that Ye Qiuhan can think of, and have sufficient lethality against any type of enemy.

"Is it sufficient? There are still many things I haven't prepared." Qian Lin said while putting together some small parts that were pressed in the grid at the bottom of the box, pouring them onto the bed.

Qian Lin assembled a small but very exquisite crossbow. This crossbow was a birthday gift she received when she was ten years old.

In order to get this crossbow, Qian Lin's brother saved up his pocket money for several months and customized such a beautiful crossbow from the family craftsman.

Although this kind of birthday gift for a ten-year-old sister seems a little abstract.

However, Qian Lin still liked this gift very much. When he was at home, he often took this little thing out to hunt small animals. He developed a good shooting skill that could accurately hit rabbits running on the grass.

"This is definitely making a fuss out of nothing!" Ye Qiuhan looked at Qian Lin's preparations, then looked at his own preparations, and immediately felt ashamed.

Her preparations were very simple: a few sets of clothes to change into, some pills to quickly restore her spiritual energy and heal her wounds, and the necessary weapons. Other than that, there was nothing else.

Most of the disciples participating in the secret realm finals prepare in this way. Only those who prepare so... thoroughly like Qian Lin are the outliers.

Ye Qiuhan even suspected that Ye Xin next door might have only brought a sword with him when he entered the secret realm!

"Although the academy said that if we encounter deadly danger in the secret realm, they will activate the space formation on the token to teleport us out of the secret realm, but to be honest, I don't really trust the effect of this thing." Pointing to the metal token thrown on the bed, Qian Lin said that this kind of thing is the most likely to have problems.

I don’t know how many geniuses believed this evil, and as a result, their tokens failed and they died in the secret realm.

This is not just a story in a book, but a bloody lesson for the future!

Qian Lin had never been into any secret realms for adventure, but she had heard from others that the devils loved to do things like killing righteous geniuses in secret realms. She had also heard some devils bragging that they had mastered many spiritual skills to interfere with space teleportation.

It is better to hope that a thunderbolt from the sky will kill the enemy than to hope that the token can save your life in times of crisis. At least the probability of the latter is higher.

"Although I'm glad that you can be so cautious, I think you can still trust the academy at this time." Senior Sister Lan, who came to see how the two girls were prepared, happened to hear Qian Lin's words. She walked in helplessly and said to Qian Lin, "Also, you forgot to close the door."

The gate of the yard was closed, but the door of the dormitory hut was wide open. Senior Sister Lan was a cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm, and her hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people. She heard the conversation between the two in the yard.

"You didn't close the door when you came in?" Qian Lin immediately looked at Ye Qiuhan. This was definitely Ye Qiuhan's fault.

"No one else will come, so there's no point in closing it." Ye Qiuhan's eyes were vague, and it seemed that she really made a mistake this time.

Fortunately, this was not a big deal. After Qian Lin laughed at Ye Qiuhan for a few words, he turned his attention back to his own small arsenal.

Senior Sister Lan also became interested and came over to watch Qian Lin's preparations for the secret realm finals with Ye Qiuhan.

While watching, she also listened to Ye Qiuhan telling her how much things Qian Lin had stuffed into his storage bag before. The more she listened, the more embarrassed the expression on Senior Sister Lan's face became.
