Chapter 941 A Gift from Ziqing

In the rain, Xu Qing was in front, Fan Shishuang was in the middle, and Erniu was behind.

The actions of the two made Fan Shishuang even more nervous, but now he was among the human race without any help, and the feeling of being alone made him even more uneasy.

After Xu Qing and the other two left, the Fourth Prince's banquet hall fell into complete silence.

Everyone was silent.

However, beneath this silent appearance, each of them had a huge storm erupting.

Shock, disbelief, horror and other emotions made their hearts surging.

Regarding Xu Qing's trip to Yanyue, they only knew the result, and were unaware of the details of how Xu Qing became the Great Xuantian in the Yanyue Xuantian clan.

Naturally, he also didn't know the details of the conflicts between Xu Qing and the great geniuses of Yanyue during this period.

But we can see some clues, more or less.

After all, in the end, it was Xu Qing who became the Great Xuantian and defeated Yan Xuanzi.

But clues were just clues. They couldn't imagine what kind of experience could make Fan Shishuang so frightened after seeing Xu Qing.

You know, even the mortal twins are divine!
Moreover, he is a great genius of the Yanyue Xuantian clan and is famous throughout history.

Although his choice to go into seclusion when he came to the human race was puzzling, it was normal. As a cultivator, he had just begun to gather his spirit and was at a critical moment in his cultivation, so it was natural for him to go into seclusion.

After all, the negotiations did not require his participation in the mortal world. As an inspector, he only needed to witness the signing of the contract at the end.

Even though he immediately stopped someone from mentioning Xu Qing at the banquet before, these things only showed his displeasure.

People who don't know the inside story will instinctively think that there is a big conflict between Fan Shishuang and Xu Qing.

But now... everything has an answer!
The reason why Fan Shishuang went into seclusion after coming to the human race was clearly to avoid Xu Qing!

When someone mentioned Xu Qing before, he immediately stopped them. His displeasure was real, and his conflict was also real, but underneath this reality, he was also wary, as he was afraid of being implicated.

Most people reacted to all this, and the roar in their hearts became more intense.

"Xu Qing in Yanyue Xuantian... is so terrifying!"

Everyone was shocked.

The third princess looked dazed, and she couldn't help but think of the scenes of her acquaintance with Xu Qing.

From the first time they met at the Seventh Prince's banquet in Shenglan Domain, until the next time they met, Xu Qing was already the Lord of Shenglan Domain, and then they entered the Imperial Capital Domain together...

The summons of the Sword-wielding Emperor, the rise of the alien immortals, and the killing of the Seventh Prince were all so grand that they shocked the entire imperial capital.

And she thought this was Xu Qing's peak.

But after Yan Yue, he became Yan Yue Da Xuan Tian, and was named Zhen Zi Wang by the Human Emperor, and was also given the title of Imperial Tutor to the Prince...

Everything had made her look up, but she could only see a figure's back.

Especially today, she intuitively felt the terror of Xu Qing. Fan Shishuang, who was so high up and whom she and others had to be careful with, was actually so nervous in front of him.

She could now imagine how notorious Xu Qing was during the time he was in the Yanyue Xuantian clan.

The Fourth Prince beside him also looked confused, his expression changing, but... there was a flash of strange light in his eyes that flashed by in an instant.

"Someone wants to use me to fish and lure out the Mortal Twins, but Master has seen it clearly and told me to go with the flow. Then, with Xu Qing's sudden arrival, will we... perish together!"

Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince instinctively analyzed the pros and cons in his heart.

Among the crowd, there was a woman who was also moved at this moment, with a bright look in her eyes as she looked outside the hall.

This woman was none other than Su Yue, the famous music master in the imperial capital.

"Is he that person's younger brother..."

Xu Qing didn't pay attention to anything in the hall. Not long after, the three of them arrived at Xu Qing's Shangling Mansion.

Inside the mansion, Xu Qing sat cross-legged with a calm expression, looking at the two mortals in front of him with gloomy expressions.

As for the captain, his face was all smiles.

"Brother Fan, when we were in the Yanyue Xuantian Clan before, I saw your extraordinary potential, and your attainments in puppets have reached the pinnacle."

"I think you won't let me down. After all, if I am disappointed, my junior brother will also be disappointed. If we are both disappointed... then you will be disappointed too."

The captain coughed, and without giving Fan Shishuang a chance to speak, he raised his hand and the puppet he had put together fell in front of Fan Shishuang.

"Brother Fan, please help me fix it. It needs to be as powerful as it was before."

The captain licked his lips.

Xu Qing had no expression on his face.

Fan Shi Shuang cursed in his heart but didn't dare to show it on the surface. But in the end he was relieved, realizing that the other party really came to ask for his help and there was no other ulterior motive.

If someone else came to him, he could still handle it, but now Fan Shishuang just wanted to finish the work as quickly as possible and then leave quickly and away from this place.

So he said nothing, his eyes fell on the puppet, he raised his hand and waved, and suddenly the puppet collapsed with a bang, breaking into countless parts.

After waving and picking up one, Fan Shishuang took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and began to study it.

As he watched, his expression changed slightly.

"This is an ancient artifact, and it looks like it has existed for at least tens of thousands of years."

"It is also stained with corpse qi... This is a refining method popular among the Liaoxuan lineage during the Xuanyou Ancient Emperor era."

"Their puppet refining is often based on living sacrifices, using the blood of living beings as nourishment, meridians as connections, bones and flesh as materials, and then combined with many other materials to eventually form a flesh and blood puppet."

Fan Shishuang was worthy of being a puppet master, and he revealed his origins as soon as he opened his mouth.

Erniu was moved, showed admiration and shouted "amazing".

After Xu Qing saw it, he also cooperated with admiration in his eyes.

Receiving their praise, Fan Shishuang appeared to be unconcerned on the surface, but deep down he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and arrogance rising up in his heart.

Erniu blinked.

"Brother Fan is really amazing. It looks like he can repair it to a level beyond perfection!"

Fan Shishuang heard this and spoke calmly.

"Although it is a little difficult, as long as we have enough materials, it will be possible."

Erniu smiled.

"But we only have these materials. With Brother Fan's ability, he can definitely make seven or eight. Well, only five will be enough. The rest will be given to Brother Fan as a reward."

Fan Shi Shuang couldn't help but curse even more intensely in his heart, thinking that these two damn guys not only wanted to use him for free, but even required him to get the materials himself.

Deceiving too much!

"Not even one of these materials is enough. I'm talking about things like Earth Absolute Crystal and Red Soul Iron that are needed for refining weapons."

"No." Hearing Fan Shishuang's tone, Erniu glared.

Xu Qing's face also darkened.

Fan Shishuang gritted his teeth, looked at Erniu, and then at Xu Qing.

After a while, he took a deep breath.

"Promise me, from now on, we will really write off all grudges!"

Seeing Fan Shishuang compromise, Erniu smiled and agreed readily.

Xu Qing thought about it for a moment and nodded.

Fan Shishuang gritted his teeth, raised his hand and took out a large amount of refining materials, and began to repair the puppet in front of Xu Qing and Erniu.

Time passed, and soon more than a month had passed.

During the past month, Fanshi Shuang could be said to have performed beyond his normal level. Under the watchful eyes of Xu Qing and Erniu, he transformed all the puppet parts so that their respective spiritualities were stimulated.

During this period, he used a large amount of refining materials.

During the process, Xu Qing didn't say much, but the captain's encouragement and praise were endless.

Although Fan Shishuang felt impatient at the end, he used more materials without realizing it.

Especially at the end, after he pondered for a while, he actually took out some of the flesh, blood, and souls of the ferocious beasts he had killed.

After being added into the puppet parts, these parts finally became spiritual and active.

Until the last day, as he made hand gestures, two black-armored puppets as tall as giants appeared in front of the three people.

These two puppets exuded a cold aura and a terrifying pressure. They seemed to be even stronger than the puppets Xu Qing encountered in the cave.

"I have reached the level of a physical body in the Soul Condensation Realm!!"

The captain was moved.

You have to know that among the human race, they have never heard of such puppets. Even according to Erniu's previous life memories, they are extremely rare.

"This level of puppet is the first time I have come into contact with and refined it in my life."

Fan Shishuang took a deep breath and looked at the puppets in front of him. He instinctively felt greedy in his heart. As a puppet master, he knew the value of these two puppets better than others.

"Unfortunately, these two people are watching me, and I can't do anything..."

"Although my materials played a significant role in the puppet's ability to reach this level, the key point... is still the original refinement and grade of the parts."

"The cultivator who created this puppet must have at least reached the high level of Soul Condensation, and may even be a master... That's why he was able to use Soul Condensation to refine the puppet."

"Unless we still have those parts, it would be hard to have a third one."

Fan Shishuang felt emotional in his heart, but the reality made him put away all his greed. At this moment, he stood up and glanced coldly at Xu Qing and Erniu.

"can I go now."

Erniu quickly stood up and praised loudly, and Xu Qing also smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Fan, you are indeed extraordinary."

Fan Shishuang had a blank expression on his face, but he was once again excited by the praise and recognition from Xu Qing and the others. But the next moment he felt sad again. He had experienced this emotion several times in the past month.

At this moment he just wanted to leave, so without saying a word, he flew out of the mansion and hurried towards the station.

That day, he left the human race's imperial capital with the two tribes that were waiting for him...

As for the two puppets, Xu Qing and Erniu each had one. Erniu left happily, ready to study them carefully, because he had specially asked Fanshi Shuang to add the ability to track to his puppet over the past half month.

"Damn old man, I must find you!"

After leaving Xu Qing's mansion, Erniu licked his lips, extremely excited.

Just like that, time passes.

A few days later, only two days left until the ancestor worship ceremony...

Xu Qing, who was practicing in the spirit pool in the mansion, suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside the mansion.

Someone brought a wooden box.

Put it in front of the door.

The person who came was a boy.

"I am sending this here on the orders of the Imperial Master."

After saying this, the boy bowed, turned around and left.

After a long time, the wooden box broke in the wind, revealing what was inside.

A puppet.
