My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 368

Chapter 367 Puppet Technique!

As the shattered moonlight and flowing frost gently fell to the ground, Xu Changqing returned home once again.

The scene of Li Lingbi’s breakthrough was vividly clear in his mind.

At this moment, I felt both excited and a little worried.

He was only one small realm away from the Golden Core stage. Once he reached perfection, he would inevitably have to find a way to break through.

When Li Lingbi, who possessed three spiritual roots, broke through, the turbid lightning split into three streams.

Following this logic, there are at least five spiritual roots.

Moreover, that’s not the key point.

The key is that the power of lightning doubles for those with two spiritual roots, triples for those with three spiritual roots, quadruples for those with four spiritual roots, and increases by at least eight times for those with five spiritual roots.

In other words, if Xu Changqing wants to break through to the Golden Core stage, the difficulty and risks involved are immeasurable, so he must make thorough preparations.

The only saving grace is that he has plenty of time.

Unlike other Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, they don’t have to worry about their lives coming to an end all day long.

Xu Changqing pondered, “Next, I will only do two things.”

One is to enrich oneself and enhance one’s overall strength.

The other was to inquire with Li Lingbi about information regarding breakthroughs from the Five Elemental Roots stage to the Golden Core stage.

…

…

In the following period, Xu Changqing’s life became very regular.

Occasionally, they would go to the outskirts of Lingtian to inspect and review the area.

He spends most of his time at home planting and cultivating, and studying techniques and spells.

Through his tireless efforts, he finally mastered the basics of the “Puppet Technique” runes.

How complicated is this thing?

There are as many as nine basic runes, known as the “Nine Chapters of Puppet Runes”.

Divided into: Control, Force, Sensation, Change, Fusion, Forbidden, Life, Destruction, Escape

Not to mention the various combinations of runes, as well as more advanced rune arrays.

It would take at least a decade or more to truly master it.

Moreover, puppetry runes are only one aspect.

The key is still the complete puppetry technique.

Immediately, Xu Changqing’s heart stirred, and he looked at the attribute panel.

Puppetry Runes: Beginner

Effect 1: 30% success rate for single-target spells

Should I spend 20 years of my lifespan to fully repair the puppetry technique?

“yes.”

Xu Changqing, of course, would not refuse and decisively agreed.

Suddenly, he entered a profound state of enlightenment, which lasted for almost as long as the previous Myriad Insect Records.

Puppetry is neither a martial art nor a magic spell.

It is a skill, a skill that requires time to accumulate.

It’s easy to imagine how complex and profound the content is.

Fortunately, the system’s remarkable feature is that once you learn it, you can use Xu Changqing’s current knowledge, experience, skills, and insights to deduce and improve upon it.

I don’t know how much time passed, but I finally emerged from the state of sudden enlightenment.

Puppetry Techniques: Beginner

Effect 1: Creates a basic single-target puppet

Effect 2: 30% success rate for single-target spells

Do you want to spend 1 year of your lifespan to upgrade your puppetry skills to proficiency?

Xu Changqing pursed his lips: “Is this the first day you’ve met me?”

Should I sacrifice 5 years of my lifespan to upgrade my puppetry skills to the highest level?

“yes.”

This time, less lifespan was consumed, so the state of enlightenment lasted very short.

In just a few breaths, everything fell into place.

Remaining lifespan: 738 years

Puppetry Skill: Masterful Hand

Effect 1: Creates a basic single-target puppet

Effect 2: Create a multi-functional combination puppet

Effect 3: Crafting spiritual materials and remnant soul puppets

Effect 4: Create a puppet army and pseudo-intelligent puppets

Effect 5: Create puppets from all things, and craft symbiotic puppets.

Special Effect 1: The puppet shares perception with its creator.

Special Effect 2: The puppet will possess rule-level abilities.

Special Effect 3: The puppet can cultivate and comprehend the Dao in place of its master.

Special Effect 4: The creator and the puppet share energy and share damage.

Special Effect 5: When the Puppetry rune is inscribed, it triggers a response from the laws of heaven and earth.

Xu Changqing nodded slightly: “I can be considered a top figure in the art of puppetry.”

With this skill in hand, I can create any puppet I want in the future.

Of course, the first thing to build will be the fortress.

With it, I don’t have to do chores like weeding every day.

Furthermore, it allows the fortress to feed the guinea fowl, clams, turtles, and fish at fixed times and locations, ensuring that it doesn’t forget or miss a day.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Changqing got up and walked towards the second basement level.

The basement level is mainly used for brewing.

The second floor has many more uses.

There are alchemy, weapon crafting, and cultivation rooms.

However, Xu Changqing usually stayed in places full of flowers, trees and shrubs and rarely entered the cultivation room, so it was rarely used.

He spent most of his time refining pills and crafting weapons, basically doing it whenever he had time.

After all, there are only two days left before the opening of the Guixu Secret Realm.

However, this time, Xu Changqing neither refined pills nor forged weapons.

To avoid being disturbed, I entered the training room and then took out the core of the fortress.

Before he had fully mastered puppetry, he couldn’t understand it at all, and couldn’t even imitate it.

Now, however, Xu Changqing can distinguish between the real and the fake, or make accurate judgments, about anything related to puppetry at a glance.

Judging from the current situation, the fortress is indeed a plant-based puppet among puppets.

Common types of puppets include clay puppets and paper puppets. They can be activated and controlled with just a few objects and some puppetry runes, making them beginner-level puppets.

A more advanced form is the puppetry puppet.

In addition to the required materials, there are also certain requirements for runes.

The difficulty level is neither high nor low.

My dear reader, there’s more to reading—even more exciting content awaits!

A more advanced form is the bone and blood puppet.

It is based on puppetry and is made from bones containing essence and blood.

Because the runes need to resonate with the essence of bones and blood, the conditions are quite demanding.

Further on, they are not actually plant puppets, but artifact puppets.

This thing belongs to the highest level among puppets. The materials must be spiritual artifacts or magical artifacts with spirits, and an equal contract must be established with the spirit.

Finally, there are the forbidden spirit plant puppets.

Not only does it require rare spiritual plant cores, but it also requires the Soul Fusion Array, Soul Control Array, and Life Array. These three arrays are stacked together, which places high demands on the puppeteer.

Furthermore, it must incorporate the complete soul of a living person or a demon.

To put it simply, the art of puppetry has always adhered to the principle of using runes as the bone, drive as the soul, and the vessel as the body for crafting.

At this moment, Xu Changqing used his spiritual sense to carefully perceive the core of the fortress.

Logically, the fortress’s spirit should be filled with resentment, but he found that it wasn’t.

Overall, it looks very clean and pure.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing seemed to be thinking: “Perhaps it originally contained resentment, but because of the poplar tree spirit, it changed.”

“If that’s the case, then come back to me.”

Once he made up his mind, he began to re-engrave the runes on the fortress.

The previous puppeteer was able to inscribe extremely complex puppetry runes.

But in Xu Changqing’s view now, there are many loopholes in it.

Of course, some vulnerabilities are undiscovered, while others are intentionally left undetected.

For example, the fortress can be activated as long as the other party is willing, and it can launch the most frenzied attacks on everything around it.

This danger must be prevented before it occurs.

As Xu Changqing continued to inscribe runes, he indeed triggered a response from the laws of heaven and earth. The law of wood brought a gift, allowing the fortress to gain an effect similar to that of a wood spirit root, which was close to nature, even before it was revived.

Meanwhile, the attribute panel changed again, and a new skill was added!
