Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 120

[Chapter 119: Ninth Floor (Congratulations to Baiyin!)]

Underground cave.

Crash!
As a mature demon tree, after discovering that the cave had begun to narrow, it had learned to use its roots to dig continuously downwards, while throwing a large amount of earth into the lake.

Fang Xi did not ask the demon tree to learn construction techniques. He just gave it a few pointers, asking it to provide support and reinforcement and not to dig down the Emerald Cliff, and then let it do whatever it wanted.

At this moment, he was looking at the “human puppet” in front of him!
This human puppet looked exactly like Mu Wen, with a gray complexion and even some wood texture on the surface of the skin.

From time to time, one can see some tree roots, which drill in and out of the seven orifices of the human body.

“Get up!”

“go ahead!”

“jump!”

Fang Xi was not proficient in puppetry, but he used the Demon Tree’s ability to control the demon servants to perform secondary control.

It is equivalent to the insect king controlling the slave insects, which feels quite lagging and unresponsive.

“Practice Qi!”

But at this moment, Fang Xi’s eyes moved and he gave an order.

Mu Wen pinched his fingers to perform a magic formula, and a layer of spiritual light appeared on his body surface, bursting out with the magical power fluctuations of the fifth level of Qi Refining!

“This person’s cultivation was originally at the sixth level of Qi Refining. After being made into a puppet, his realm dropped to only the fifth level of Qi Refining!”

Fang Xi thought about it and gave the order again.

Whoosh!
Mu Wen pinched his fingers and the black dagger made a roar, then turned into a beam of black light and shot out, sinking deep into the rock wall!
“He actually retained his cultivation and still has the ability to manipulate magic weapons?”

Fang Xi was very surprised about this.

In this case, doesn’t it mean that he can control a dense army of “human puppets”?
If many late-stage Qi Refining cultivators form a formation, they can fight even if they are in the Foundation Establishment stage!

But the next moment, Fang Xi found something wrong.

Mu Wen’s technique in operating the magic weapon was very dull, lacking in agility and variety, which was very fatal in battle.

‘This feeling… Even if he has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, he may still not be able to defeat Hai Dagui… And he needs me to control and give orders all the time, which is too troublesome.’

“Its attack power is at the fifth level of Qi Refining, but its defense is too poor. After all, it has a human body and doesn’t know how to dodge. I have to keep an eye on it… But I am controlling it indirectly through the Demon Tree, so the delay is very fatal…”

At this time, Fang Xi also felt the difference between his wooden puppet technique and the orthodox puppet technique.

The orthodox inheritance of puppetry not only includes the method of making puppets, but also the means of manipulating puppets to fight the enemy!

Among them, the means of manipulating puppets is even more important!

After all, a cultivator’s spiritual awareness is limited, and a non-puppet master can only control one or two puppets at most.

But a puppeteer can use his mind to manipulate an army of puppets!
He can even inject ‘puppet spirits’ into high-level puppets, giving them a certain level of intelligence!
“In fact, a strong mind has a great impact on puppetry, but unfortunately I have never acquired the inheritance of puppetry…”

There might be some in Lingkong Market, but Fang Xi couldn’t go there at all at this moment!
After some experiments, Fang Xi determined the detailed data of the human puppet Mu Wen, shook his head, and felt quite regretful.

The attack was too rigid, and there was some delay in issuing the order…

It is completely different from the orthodox puppetry of manipulating puppets.

Furthermore, once they were made into ‘human puppets’, they would no longer be able to practice and improve themselves.

“After all, I am indirectly controlled by the Demon Tree, so I cannot perform many of the delicate operations that a puppeteer can perform. This is understandable, understandable… I can find a puppetry technique to learn in the future, and perhaps I can make up for it…”

“But this ‘Wooden Puppet Technique’ is not without its advantages. The first is that it can be used in large numbers. As long as there are enough demon tree seeds, you can control as many as you want!”

“Secondly, the materials used are simple. All we need is a complete corpse… It won’t be a dream to form a large army of monks in the future.”

Fang Xi touched his chin, feeling that if he continued like this, he would definitely go down the path of evil cultivation and never return, and would eventually be hated by everyone in the world of immortal cultivation.

“In fact, we can think about it from another perspective. The quality of the human puppets made by the monks is not good, but the ‘beast puppets’ made by the monsters are very good!”

Because most monsters have thick skin and flesh and higher defense, these characteristics can be retained after being made into puppets!

In this way, the command can be as simple as possible!
In addition, the material of the monster is strong and not easy to damage, so the fault tolerance rate is high!
“The puppet beast army? It’s a direction…”

Fang Xi touched his chin and said, “We also need to consider the problem of the demon tree seeds flowing out. Can we use puppetry to create some mechanisms inside the puppets? Once the puppets are damaged, can we directly destroy the demon tree seeds?”

“This plan is quite good. All it lacks is a puppet technique inheritance…”

Although the demon tree species had been downgraded, Fang Xi still didn’t want the seeds to flow out.

After thinking about it, I suddenly felt that there was great potential and prepared to put this plan on the back-up list.

After all, he couldn’t go out to collect a large number of fresh monster corpses now.

“As for you?”

Fang Xi looked at Mu Wen and let the roots in his body stick out and meet on his face to form a rattan mask.

“From today on, you will be called ‘Jia Yi’ and will be responsible for guarding the underground cave.”

Jiayi immediately stood on the edge of the cave wall, like a statue…

…

Soon no one on Peach Blossom Island paid attention to the news about the head of the Mu family.

The world of cultivating immortals is still very realistic. A loser will go far away, and unless he makes a comeback as a king one day, he will be gradually forgotten by everyone.

Some members of the Mu family left Peach Blossom Island, while others continued to work hard on Peach Blossom Island, returning to the state of being rootless duckweed…

The one who is more famous than Mu Wen is undoubtedly the ‘Silver Armor Demon’!
Because he escaped from the hands of the foundation-building cultivators many times, his reputation became more and more famous. He even formed a robbery force and fought against the joint law enforcement team of the Thirty-Six Islands Alliance, killing many people!
Now, his reputation can almost stop children from crying at night!
But for a cultivator who is determined to hide and never go to the market, his reputation is just that.

On the contrary, Hai Dagui was still worried about his friend Lu Guo day and night, praying that he would not face the Silver Armor Demon head-on…

…

Five years later.

Inside the practice room.

Fang Xi silently practiced the ‘Eternal Spring Technique’ and felt the magic power in his Dantian Qi Sea surge and overflow automatically, opening up a new channel for operation.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

This breakthrough happened naturally, very smoothly and silky.

“I have been planting trees for twenty years. I am forty-three years old this year and have broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining!”

Fang Xi was quite satisfied with his progress.

It took five years to break through a level of cultivation, mainly because of the spiritual environment of Emerald Cliff.

The Emerald Cliff Spiritual Vein was just not up to standard. Through the “spirit gathering” effect of the small cloud and rain formation, it barely raised the spiritual environment inside the training room to the lower level of the first grade.

As for cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, they need at least a first-grade superior spiritual vein to be suitable for cultivation.

Apart from this, Fang Xi did not take many pills to increase his magic power.

After all, if you swallow too many pills, your foundation will become unstable, which will have a slight impact on your future breakthrough to a higher level.

“In addition, the alchemy skills have been steadily upgraded to the first-class upper grade, but the formation has been hovering at the middle grade, stuck at a bottleneck.”

Fang Xi was also helpless about this.

When he was studying the formation, he encountered a difficult problem and could only think hard about it.

On the contrary, as long as the materials are sufficient, with his current spiritual awareness, he can push through it all the way, at least for Qi Refining Stage elixirs…

Therefore, Fang Xi has focused on alchemy in recent years and put formations in second place.

As for the art of talismans? He was promoted to the first-class intermediate grade without realizing it. He didn’t know whether it was due to his daily contemplation of the effect of the silver incomplete runes condensed by Yi Mu Dharmakaya. Anyway, Fang Xi felt that he was particularly talented in drawing wood talismans, and his success rate was higher than that of other talismans.

The last weapon refining technique is still not up to standard… and has been completely abandoned.

Fang Xi walked out of the training room and looked at the blue-and-white scarab beetles. Now, the insect room was full of beetles with jade bodies and blue-and-white backs. There was no trace of the black-striped scarab beetles anymore.

Even the Insect King has been promoted to the first-class mid-grade due to long-term consumption of the “Beast Food Pill”!
The wine cellar is also full of various spirit wines, ranging from one year to several years. The oldest batch has been brewed for twenty years!
This kind of spirit wine is amber in color, and you can almost pick out silk with chopsticks. It is the favorite of some cultivators who are greedy for the wine!
Even if the grade is not high, it can win by taste and sell a lot of spirit stones.

On the Emerald Cliff, a total of 20 acres of various spiritual fields have been reclaimed, and there are 5 acres of medicinal fields.

Among them, the oldest batch of “Blood-Growing Grass” and “Snake Orchid Fruit” are ten years old and can be sold directly for spirit stones. They can also be used as auxiliary materials for some first-grade mid-grade or even high-grade elixirs.

“So, as long as the cultivators have spiritual land, they can accumulate resources quite quickly without engaging in fighting and killing and focus on farming…”

After inspecting everywhere, Fang Xi came to the edge of the pond with a fierce look in his eyes.

The big black carp is still a first-class mid-grade fish!
“The ten-year period has come. You can only blame yourself for not seizing the last chance!”

He drew out his Golden Dragon Knife and was about to kill the big black carp with one blow.

suddenly!

The big black carp leaped, and demonic energy emanated from its body, attracting spiritual energy from the surroundings to form a small vortex!

“Is this… advanced?”

Fang Xi’s eyes twitched slightly: “Did he really break through at the last minute? Is this fish even more timid than me?”

Just as he was sighing, the big black fish swallowed a large amount of spiritual energy, and its body suddenly grew to more than two meters long. It even seemed to have changed its species, becoming closer to the slender catfish and eel, and its two green dragon whiskers also became longer and longer…

“A first-class, top-grade Jade Carp King, nicknamed ‘Little Azure Dragon’…”

Looking at the big blue fish that looked more like a blue water snake, Fang Xi smiled grimly: “Finally advanced… I’ve wanted to drink ‘Blue Dragon Soup’ for a long time!”

Crash!

The big black carp, which was flying proudly in mid-air, was stunned and fell directly into the pond, splashing a lot of water.

Didn’t they say that if they advance to a higher level, they would be exempt from death?
Why did they use it to make soup?

Could this be fate?
Compared to the cunning humans, it is still too naive!
