A Mortal's Story of Cultivation into Immortality

In the wilderness, a several-foot-long lizard crawled out from under a mostly weathered rock, ready to start a day of hunting.

But just when it climbed out of the nest and was only a few feet away from the rock, a yellow monster about ten feet long suddenly jumped out from the sand on one side. Its two front paws and mouth were used together, and it fiercely He pounced on the lizard and easily bit off its neck, then picked up the body and ran away in a certain direction.

This monster has the same four-clawed long tail with a sharp beak. It looks like a huge lizard, but its body is hard and it makes a creaking sound when it runs. It turns out to be something like a mechanical doll.

When the monster ran for more than a mile, it came to a man in yellow who was sitting on a flat stone meditating. Then he threw the body next to the man and ran away again.

The man in yellow had no expression on his face and was not surprised at all.

He calmly waved his hand, and the lizard's body flew flatly in front of the man. Floating motionless several feet above the ground.

Then the man in yellow stretched out an index finger and touched the lizard's head, muttering something in his mouth.

After a while, the finger he extended slowly lit up, emitting a faint white light.

As the mantra was being recited, the white light became brighter and brighter, and gradually became a bit dazzling.

"disease"

The man in yellow roared when he saw that the heat was getting worse.

The white light on his finger suddenly shot out a white thread, which penetrated deep into the lizard's head from the fingertip, and then the man in yellow pulled back slowly with some difficulty, his expression nervous and cautious to the extreme.

Finally, under the careful gaze of the man in yellow, the white thread drew a green ball of light from the dead lizard body. It was as light as the size of a thumb.

When the man in yellow saw this, he felt as if he had found a huge treasure.

The other hand lit up, and a small light yellow jade bottle appeared in the palm of the hand. Then with a pop, several rays of rays of light shot out from the jade bottle, and the green ball of light was rolled up and sucked into it.

At this time, the man in yellow breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead. It can be seen that what he did just now really cost him a lot of energy.

"This soul-pulling technique is really not something that monks in the early stage of foundation building can easily perform. The probability of success is too low. Only one can succeed every three or four times. It seems that I will be here all day today. "The man in yellow looked at the small jade bottle in his hand and murmured to himself, with a helpless expression on his face.

This person is none other than Han Li who is practicing the "Dayan Jue".

The reason why he appeared in this desert place nearly a hundred miles away from the spirit stone mine was because he was collecting the souls of these animals just like what he had done before. This kind of thing, which usually only people of the devil's path can do, happened to Han Li entirely because he studied the "Puppet Scripture".

It turned out that after preliminary study on puppet refining, Han Li discovered that refining a puppet not only requires some materials commonly used for refining magic weapons, but also requires the souls of some living creatures to be melted together with the materials. Only then can it be truly accomplished. Otherwise, the puppet produced will not have any spirituality and will be no different from ordinary dolls.

The higher the level of the puppet, the stronger the soul condensed in it is, the better, so that the puppet's effectiveness can be maximized. For this reason, at the back of the "Puppet Manual", there are also three spells commonly used by people in the devil's path: "soul-drawing technique", "soul-condensing technique" and "soul-refining technique".

Among them, the "Soul Drawing Technique" is a spell that Han Li used just now to draw souls out of corpses.

This spell is not only weak in power and has a low success rate, but it can also only be used on recently deceased corpses. Compared with those magic secrets that specialize in souls, their power is vastly inferior!

However, the only advantage of this spell is that the level of mana required is extremely low, and it can be used normally in the middle stage of foundation building. Of course, monks like Han Li in the early stages of foundation building can barely use it, but the success rate is not very high.

The "Soul Condensation Technique" is a spell that condenses souls. After all, a powerful soul is not easy to find. Usually more advanced puppets use a few, a dozen, or even dozens of artificial powerful souls condensed together. Although this kind of soul is not as easy to use as a naturally powerful soul, it is still much stronger than using a low-level soul. Therefore, this kind of spell is also compulsory for learning puppetry.

The last "Soul Refining Technique", as the name suggests, is a spell to refine and transform the soul. After all, if you want to fuse it with the puppet, ordinary living souls will definitely not work. It still needs to be refined through special techniques.

As for the lizard-like mechanism beast just now, it was the first mechanism puppet that Han Li successfully refined after he practiced the Dayan Art and separated his first independent spiritual thought. The souls he smelted were only those of a few yellow rats he caught casually.

But before that, Han Li had failed to refine it seven or eight times, and the success rate couldn't be said to be very high.

When Han Li attached his distraction to this puppet and ordered it to act, the feeling was truly amazing! It's not like the erratic feeling when manipulating a magic weapon, nor is it as real as manipulating hands and feet.

In fact, his distraction and this puppet beast seemed to be the relationship between superior and subordinate. Once he has an idea, the puppet will act according to his orders. How the other party acts depends on the puppet itself. However, Han Li could still clearly sense everything the puppet beast could see and hear. This made him overjoyed.

Han Li, who was controlling a puppet beast for the first time, felt a little childishly playful. Except for this junior puppet beast that he refined himself, he also played and manipulated all the more advanced mechanism puppets on his body. It gave him an addiction to playing with dolls that he had dreamed of as a child.

While manipulating the activities of these puppets, Han Li gradually experienced some of the limitations of the machine puppets.

First of all, these puppets can only move within three miles of himself. Beyond this distance, these mechanism puppets will be unable to move, and distractions will fly back. Han Li guessed that this should be related to the extreme distance that his distraction could escape from the main body. This can still be improved when the realm of cultivation and soul is mentioned.

But the next flaw is the shortcomings of the puppetry itself, which cannot be made up for. There is a delay between when these puppets receive orders and when they take action, and they cannot move as they wish. This is likely to be exploited by opponents in actual combat.

Even with these two flaws, this puppetry technique is still extraordinary. As long as he develops a few more divine thoughts and masters the first level of Dayan Jue, he will be able to compete with the powerful characters in the foundation building stage. After all, if there are about ten more helpers around him, even if they are only at the level of Qi refining stage, it will be enough for him to protect himself.

At least when he was trapped by the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect again, he wouldn't be afraid of the opponent's endless army of vampires. Because the actions of low-level mechanism puppets only consume low-level spiritual stones.

Only the giant tiger puppet under the Qianzhu Sect's Huanglong Seat consumes mid-level spiritual stones because it is so powerful. However, Han Li estimated that it must be a puppet beast of level three or above. Even the shields released by several foundation-building monks jointly did not dare to connect its two attacks, which shows how terrifying its power is.

It's a pity that this puppet was reduced to ashes by his own Master Lei's magic weapon. Otherwise, if you get it, it will definitely be an extremely sharp weapon.

When Han Li thought about the benefits of that kind of giant tiger puppet, Han Li couldn't stop feeling itchy. I am even more attentive to the refining of this mechanism puppet.

After finally refining dozens of primary mechanism puppets, Han Li decided to try refining the second level puppets. This is also the main battle puppet he has seen before, used by Qianzhu Sect and others. As long as he can even refine a puppet of this level, then he no longer has to worry about the consumption of puppets.

But for refining the second-level puppet, the original scrap copper and iron cannot be used as raw materials. All its materials are almost of the same level as an upper-level magic weapon, especially a large amount of ironwood that is hundreds of years old and is the main raw material for its production, which costs a lot of money.

In fact, if Han Li were in his own cave, cultivating a few old ironwoods would not be a big deal. But now that he was responsible, Han Li had no choice but to let others collect a lot for him from far away in the city.

Now that the materials are available, suitable souls still need to be collected. After all, the soul of the yellow rat, which was the most common and most common in the canyon, was too weak. Even if they were united together, there would not be a significant improvement.

So Han Li targeted the weasels' natural enemies, the wasteland lizards.

At this time, after three or four months of hard training, Han Li had developed several spiritual thoughts. So he used these distractions to control several low-level puppet beasts, sweeping out lizard nests all over the wasteland, and this was the first scene.

After Han Li put away the vial containing the lizard soul, he closed his eyes again and continued to practice the "Dayan Jue" to slowly strengthen his soul.

This "Dayan Jue" is the key to using the Puppet Technique, and Han Li doesn't dare to relax!

But speaking of it, the "Dayan Jue" is really the Qianzhu Sect's suppression method. Compared with the ordinary secret method and the "Dayan Jue", it is simply not worth mentioning!

The general mystic splitting technique is just to forcibly split the original divine thought into a small part. The number of spiritual thoughts that can be split depends entirely on the strength of each person's soul, and it cannot be changed later.

The Dayan Jue just makes up for this regret. After training, it can gradually strengthen the original soul, which is comparable to those monks with extremely powerful soul talents. And the method it uses to split the mind is much safer and more delicate than ordinary methods. It can make the spiritual thoughts branch out into smaller and more numerous parts without affecting the normal state of the soul.

With such a comparison, it is no wonder that the people of the Qianzhu Sect regard the "Dayan Jue" as the foundation of the sect, and Senior Brother Lin also never forgets the formulas of the last three levels.
