Chapter 44 Two Great Puppets
The "Fate Puppet Thread Technique" is merely a puppet technique and cannot be compared to main cultivation methods such as Qi Absorption Technique and Immortal Foundation Technique. Nine hundred spirit stones is already the limit.
So, unsurprisingly, Fang Qi obtained this method.
"Island Master Fang not here for very long, is he? Is he settling in well?" Tengjiao Island looked at Fang Qi with a smile, but was surprised in his heart.
If I remember correctly, this guy named Fang Qi is just an island lord outside the Third Ring Road. On that island where he was exiled, he was able to come up with nine hundred spirit stones and his cultivation level improved so quickly.
It seems you have a special skill.
"Lord Wu is a capable leader. The environment on Crimson Jade Island is elegant, and I'm quite used to living here," Fang Qi replied with a smile.
Having just traded the "Destiny Couple Connection Technique," Island Master Shao Liao gave Fang Qi a meaningful look.
This newcomer is good at lying through his teeth.
Wu Linfeng smiled and said, "You'll get used to it. If you need anything in the future, just come to me."
"Thank you, Island Master Wu." Fang Qi bowed and stepped down from the stage, returning to his seat.
Not far away, Pei Jiu's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.
He originally thought that Fang Qi, the fish farmer he had trained, was struggling in the mire of poverty, just like him, which is why he thought of taking Fang Qi along to hunt demons.
But now, Fang Qi, who has always been unknown, has actually spent nine hundred spirit stones to buy a puppetry technique. How can he accept this!
You should know that the Mirage Water he just sold only fetched a thousand or so spirit stones, and even that had to be split among three people.
"Junior Sister Chen, Brother Pei, did you really help Island Master Fang raise fish before?" Chen Yutong asked, glancing sideways.
Pei Jiu's face darkened, and he said coldly, "You picked up some spirit stones somewhere and now you're showing off your wealth? Aren't you afraid of being targeted?"
Chen Qiaoqian's expression changed as she understood the meaning behind those words.
"Junior Brother Fang, after the trade fair ends, leave from West Island," she secretly transmitted.
Normally, the east side is the exit from the island, and few people go to the west side. Although she also had some resentment towards Fang Qi, it was not to the point of wanting to kill him.
Fang Qi was slightly taken aback, guessed what was going on, and replied, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
On stage, the trading continued.
The various treasures remained the same, and Fang Qi bought a spirit beast egg for another five hundred spirit stones, making Pei Jiu's eyes red with envy.
This beast egg belongs to the metal element, making it perfect for nurturing into one of the Five Elements Blood Beasts.
......
After the trade fair ended, Fang Qi, carrying the puppetry technique and the spirit beast egg, prepared to leave the island aboard the "Windbreaker Boat".
Instead of following Chen Qiaoqian's suggestion to go to the west island, he continued to go to the east island entrance.
Don't blindly believe what other people say.
If he is really being targeted, the large number of people on the East Island will actually make him safer.
Upon arriving at the shore, Island Master Shao Liao invited him to be a guest, but Fang Qi politely declined. Instead, Chen Yutong, Pei Jiu, and Chen Qiaoqian arrived.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Fang, on obtaining the precious technique and the spirit beast," Pei Jiu congratulated him with a hint of envy.
Chen Qiaoqian followed behind without saying a word, but she harbored a lot of resentment in her heart.
She had already sent a message, but Fang Qi didn't listen, so she had no one to blame but herself.
Chen Yutong glanced at Fang Qi's wind-breaking boat, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
"Island Master Fang, the eggs of those Gold-Eating Bone-Eating Ants are not easy to hatch." She walked alongside Fang Qi, seemingly offering a friendly reminder, "This beast belongs to the Shen Metal element and contains Ren Water. To hatch them, you need a treasure containing Ren Water."
"As it happens, the Heart of the Mirage Dragon of the Illusionary Sea is a spiritual object of the Ren Water element. I wonder if Island Master Fang..."
She had already invested too much in the Mirage Dragon, so she was naturally unwilling to give up and wanted to get more people to try again.
However, she wasn't lying. The Gold-Eating Bone-Corroding Ant Eggs did indeed require a Ren Water spiritual object to hatch, and the Heart of the Mirage Dragon of the Illusionary Sea was indeed a rare Ren Water spiritual object.
However, after a brief consideration, Fang Qi still refused.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister, but my strength is too weak. I'm afraid I can only serve as a meal delivery for the Mirage Dragon of the Illusionary Sea."
The spiritual objects associated with Ren water are rare, but that applies to the poor; he has money.
Pei Jiu gritted his teeth inwardly.
The third time! This guy refused for the third time!
He was so angry his face turned green.
Fang Qi ignored it, summoned the "Windbreaker Boat," and rode away on the waves.
Chen Yutong and Pei Jiu deliberately followed behind, planning to wait until they entered uninhabited waters before...
In an instant, the spirit boat ahead suddenly accelerated, leaving the three behind.
"Quick, after them!!"
......
Akatama Island Cave.
Fang Qi opened up a secret chamber next to the cultivation room, specifically for incubating the eggs of the Gold-Eating and Bone-Corroding Ants.
The hatching of this egg requires two treasures: Shen Metal and Ren Water. He made a special trip to the Chusheng Market and spent more than three hundred spirit stones to purchase them.
Inside the incubation chamber, the gold-devouring and bone-eating ant eggs were placed in the center, surrounded by three inner and three outer rings of Shen metal and Ren water treasures.
There is also a temperature-regulating talisman on top to ensure the incubation temperature.
Fang Qi even moved one of the array's key points to below the beast egg, continuously inputting spiritual energy.
Therefore, the incubation conditions are basically met.
In just 49 days, he will be able to obtain a gold-devouring, bone-eating ant.
After closing the incubation room door, Fang Qi went to the cultivation room and began to comprehend the "Destiny Pairing Thread Technique".
"Using spiritual energy to condense into invisible threads, one can remotely control a puppet, sharing its sight and hearing, with a control distance of up to a hundred feet..."
After reading "The Secret of Fate and Marriage", he frowned slightly.
This manual is indeed a puppetry secret technique of the Thousand Machines Immortal Sect. It details how to refine puppets and even how to manipulate them, but it has little to do with paper dolls.
According to this manual, the control of puppets lies in the splitting of spiritual power and consciousness. In the Republic of China era, these things did not exist, yet paper figures could be transformed into human figures, which was truly bizarre.
"Never mind, I'll practice this technique first..."
Although I couldn't buy any paper dolls, this trick is still pretty good.
"At the highest level of cultivation, one can simultaneously control nine puppets as if they were one's own limbs. Legend has it that the first sect leader of the Thousand Machines Immortal Sect once used silk threads to manipulate ninety-nine golden and iron puppets, single-handedly holding off an army and opening the gate to immortality..."
Fortunately, Island Master Shao Liao provided two sets of puppet materials. Although they were not of high quality, if they could be crafted, his cave dwelling might be able to have two more laborers.
Shifting stars.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
On Chiyu Island, a lithe, jet-black puppet, carrying a large bucket in its hand and a bronze vat on its shoulder, swiftly rushed to Carp Bay and skillfully fed the fish.
Meanwhile, in the cave in the center of the island, another dark red puppet was feeding a gray-gold ant beast in the incubation chamber.
This ant-beast was the size of a thumb, with metal wings on its back and a pair of gleaming, terrifying mouthparts, greedily devouring flesh and blood dozens of times its own size.
Suddenly someone entered the secret room, and the dark red puppet retreated to the doorway.
Fang Qi flipped his hand and took out two Spirit Feeding Pills, throwing them to the ant beast. The ant beast flapped its wings and flew away, swallowing the blood pills.
"Spirit beasts with high potential grow up very quickly."
He touched the ant-beast's back and wings and nodded in satisfaction.
The Gold-Eating Bone Ant has a better bloodline than the Golden Thread Blood Carp. It has the strength of the first level of Qi Refining as soon as it hatches. After being fed with spiritual pills for half a month, it grows to the third level of Qi Refining.
The most powerful Golden Thread Blood Carp of the same period was only at the second level of Qi Refining.
"The Gold-Eating Bone-Corroding Ant is gold, the Gold-Thread Blood Carp is water, and if we also create three blood beasts representing earth, wood, and fire, I might actually be able to try and forge an immortal foundation using the 'Five Elements Blood Beast Foundation Building Divine Method'..."
Fang Qi returned to the cultivation room and pondered.
Currently, there is only one Qi in the Five Organs Qi, which is slower than the progress of the Five Elements Blood Beast.
"Don't be impatient."
The cultivation of the Five Elements Blood Beasts is a huge undertaking. Although we are currently ahead, it is actually on par with the Five Internal Organs Qi.
After a brief moment of thought, Fang Qi took out the paper figure of the little monk he had obtained from the Huang Cheng Temple in the Republic of China era, opened his mouth and spat out a drop of blood essence, which he then injected into the paper figure.
Fang Qi failed to find the paper doll technique in the "Fate Puppet Thread Technique," but he gained something new after successfully creating two puppets.
The main manipulation method of "The Fate Pairing Technique" is spiritual consciousness, but it also includes a method of manipulating essence and blood.
This method requires sealing essence and blood into the puppet, and then carving out tendons, bones, and meridians on the puppet to make its body simulate a human body, thereby achieving the effect of control.
This method does not require splitting one's consciousness to weaken oneself; correspondingly, the puppet's control is not as good as that of the consciousness.
After some experimentation, Fang Qi was pleasantly surprised to find that the method of using essence and blood could actually be applied to paper figures, making them float.
Therefore, he nourished himself with his essence and blood every day.
Swish!
A drop of essence blood was injected, and the paper figure suddenly stood up, showing signs of surging.
Fang Qi's eyes lit up instantly.
It seems like it's done!
He quickly controlled the paper figure to prevent it from growing larger, and with a wave of his hand, it arrived in the world of the Republic of China.
"Jiasi, bring me all the Fire Talismans you've made recently."
