The spiritual materials sold in Jubao Pavilion are the most authentic and come in many varieties, so they naturally become Xue Tong's first choice.
He came to the Jubao Pavilion store and walked straight to a counter.
Xue Tong was stunned. He had been to the store several times to buy elixirs and talismans, but today he met an acquaintance.
Shi Xiao!
Xue Tong subconsciously looked around. The last time he met Shi Xiao at Linglong Pagoda, her two followers were entangled and quite unreasonable.
Shi Xiao just looked up and was startled when he saw Xue Tong outside the counter, "You are..."
"I, Xue Tong, met my senior sister at Linglong Tower."
"Ah, you are Xue Tong!"
Shi Xiao looked very surprised, his fair face turned slightly red, and he said softly: "Junior brother Xue is admirable for his wisdom and bravery."
Yunxiao Sect did not publicize Xue Tong's deeds in Pingshan, but many people knew about it, and it naturally spread over time. After a few months, most people in the sect had heard about it.
"No, no, it's a fluke, senior sister is..."
Xue Tong doesn't like attracting attention. The more people who know about his killing of Blood Sword Sect disciples, the worse it is.
"The little girl's surname is Shi and her name is Xiao."
"Oh, there's Senior Sister Lao Shi. I want to buy some bones. I wonder if Senior Sister can introduce me to them." Xue Tong asked.
"Of course, the bones of the Jubao Pavilion are divided into two types: the whole frame and the scattered bones. The whole frame only contains martial arts demon beasts, and the scattered bones contain up to two metacarpal bones of the innate early stage demon tiger."
"Loose bones are mostly used to make small instruments, such as bone nails, bone arrows, bone flying knives, short swords, etc. Large instruments such as bone shields, bone long knives, sledgehammers, etc. often require the purchase of a whole set of skeletons, and the extra Save it for later use.”
"Bone magic weapons can also be upgraded, using higher-grade animal bones, grinding them into powder, mixing them, and remaking them. However, this process requires superb weapon refining skills." Shi Xiao gushed, speaking in a comprehensive and detailed manner.
"I want to make a bone puppet. Senior sister can help me with my advice?" Seeing Shi Xiao's excellent attitude, Xue Tong took the opportunity to say.
"Bone puppet!"
Shi Xiao's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Oh, bone puppets are relatively rare. The puppets are spiritual things. During the refining process, spiritual materials and soul-generating powder need to be added. In the future, they will also need to be soaked in a large amount of spiritual liquid. , quite a waste of money and energy.”
"Well, it's equivalent to spending a lot of money to hire a helper." Xue Tong nodded.
Shi Xiao thought for a while, "There are several skeletons of monster beasts in Jubao Pavilion that are in the master stage of martial arts, including the Ice Flame Lion, the Thunder Roaring Tiger, the Blood Bear, the Gale Wolf, and the Iron-hide Bull. Which one is Junior Brother Xue interested in?"
"that's it?"
"That's quite a lot!" Shi Xiao said with a gentle smile.
"Okay, the Blood Nether Bear sounds good. Its attributes and appearance are similar to the puppet you want to make. How many spirit stones will it cost?" Xue Tong made up his mind and asked the price.
His favorite black-bone violent ape is out of stock, but such things are available everywhere, and the blood bear is also satisfactory.
"The entire skeleton is sold at a price of two thousand and five hundred spirit stones," Shi Xiao said.
The goods in Jubao Pavilion were sold at a fixed price. Without saying a word, Xue Tong quickly paid for the spirit stones, put the one-foot-seven-foot-tall bear skeleton into a storage bag, and bought another animal bone worth three thousand that best matched this level of animal bones. Soul powder, raw soul powder is made from the bulbs of raw soul grass, which makes it easier for puppets to accept spiritual power.
"Thank you for your hard work today, senior sister. If something happens another day, I'll come back to you again."
Xue Tong knows how to be polite and get things done.
"It's not hard, remember to come often. Even if the things you want to buy are out of stock, senior sister can help you register and keep an eye on them." Shi Xiao stared at Xue Tong with warm eyes and said with a smile.
"Hmm," Xue Tong's ears warmed up, he thanked and left.
He walked half a mile, and to his surprise, he met an acquaintance again!
Zhu Qingling!
"Wow, what a coincidence today." Xue Tong walked up and chatted: "Hello, Senior Sister Zhu, let's go to the store to buy something."
Zhu Qingling's attitude was lukewarm and asked: "Why are you going to the store again?"
"I bought a second frame and am going to hire someone to make a puppet." Xue Tong said honestly.
Zhu Qingling was already a master of martial arts when she was in Pingshan, and she was very beautiful. Xue Tong had a very good impression of her.
"You've made a fortune by practicing the puppet technique. Don't think too simplistically. There are more than a thousand disciples of the Yunxiao Sect, but very few of them can refine the puppet technique. That thing is too expensive." Zhu Qingling rolled her eyes at him and said.
Zhu Qingling had a general impression of Xue Tong, always feeling that he was too young and had a lot of tricks.
"Hehe, Pingshan has made some money and has many helpers for making the puppet. If you have money, practice faster, if you don't have money, practice slower." Xue Tong replied.
He rolled his eyes and asked: "Senior Sister Zhu, have you never thought about it? Uncle Wei is proficient in this technique. If you go to ask for advice, he will definitely give you careful guidance."
"I don't practice that stuff, I tame spiritual pets." Zhu Qingling seemed to have thought of something fun and said with a little excitement.
"What a spiritual pet, take it out and have a look." Xue Tong said with his eyes shining.
"I won't show it to you!" Zhu Qingling said angrily.
"Please, senior sister's pet must be extraordinary and open my eyes to the younger brother?" Xue Tong begged.
He knew that girls couldn't stand compliments, especially if they had fun things, and it would be hard for them not to show them off.
Zhu Qingling actually smiled, "Okay, let you see it!"
After speaking, he patted the spiritual pet bag gently.
Xue Tong's eyes flashed as a golden lion cub appeared on the ground.
"Golden Flame Lion!"
The little lion's hair is sparse, and there is a faint hint of might in his naive demeanor. His whole body is earth-gold in color, and he only has a large black mane at the tip of his tail.
"Wow, this spiritual pet is incredible, where did it come from?" Xue Tong stared at the Jin Yan lion cub closely and praised.
"I asked Master to buy it from the Spirit Beast Park for 20,000 spirit stones." Zhu Qingling said proudly.
Her master is Xun Ying, the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall, who has a higher status than Wei Geng. She had booked the Golden Yan Young Lion three years ago.
"Haha, you say I spend a lot of money, but this thing of yours is much more expensive than my bone puppet."
"The initial investment for a spirit lion is large, but it will be less later. Usually you only need to feed the flesh and blood of monsters, and when your bone puppet generates soul fire and learns to practice independently, the spirit stones consumed are at least twice as much as that of the golden lion."
"Senior sister is still smart. When the lion grows up and rides on the lion, she will be like a queen." Xue Tong flattered.
"Go, go, come less!" Zhu Qingling seemed angry but not angry.
"Haha, when my bone puppets have grown, and senior sister's golden lions have grown bigger, then we can compete with each other to improve their combat power?" Xue Tong suggested.
"OK!"
"Oh, by the way, senior sister is here, just in time to help me give advice on how the bone puppet I made looks like."
Xue Tong half-heartedly asked Zhu Qingling for help.
The two got excited about talking, and Zhu Qingling couldn't help but refuse.
Xue Tong took out the silk paper, on which was drawn a ferocious Yaksha evil ghost.
"This is too ugly, what kind of things are in your mind!" Zhu Qingling frowned and said.
"The Yaksha Skeleton Ghost is described as terrifying. This kind of puppet is intimidating when you follow it. Senior sister, take a look at the proportions. Is there anything that needs to be modified?"
Zhu Qingling pondered for a while, then made slight adjustments, making the thick arm and leg bones slightly thinner, and enlarging the palms and giant feet to make them appear more exaggerated.
“Senior Sister’s vision and taste are so strong!”
Xue Tong expressed satisfaction.
…
Xue Tong went to the Guanxiu Peak Artifact Refining Site and asked an acquired master to create a Yaksha ghost puppet and refine 3,800 spirit stones.
Ten days later, the Yaksha skeleton made of the bones of the Blood Bear was handed over to Xue Tong. It had a faint golden bone brilliance, a huge ghost head with half-exposed fangs, an eight-foot-tall body, an arm span above the knees, and empty eye sockets. There is a fierce light shooting out, and the whole skeleton is lifelike and full of murderous intent.
Xue Tong put the bone puppet into the prepared spiritual pet bag. The inside of the pet bag was divided into two. The bone puppet was filled with high-quality spirit-accumulating liquid, and ten soul-growing grasses were placed to enhance the effect.
"Including the spiritual pet bag, it costs fifteen thousand spiritual stones. The spiritual liquid and spiritual grass are replaced every fifty days. Fortunately, Pingshan earns a lot, otherwise it would be impossible to afford it."
Xue Tong spends a lot of money. He takes two pills each of Hunyuan Pill and Marrow Cleansing Bone Pill every month to ensure his energy and body refining needs. He has switched to eating monster meat, which is beneficial to his tyrannical physique, but monster meat brings bad energy and stasis. The knot makes the character tend to be violent and bloodthirsty, and must be neutralized with expensive "Ping Qu Lu".
Fifty days later, the dark green spiritual liquid faded to almost like water. Xue Tong changed the bag of spiritual liquid, took out the skeleton every day, and did the homework for two hours, letting go of his spirit and thoughts, trying to establish consciousness with the puppet. connect.
After half a month, the bone puppet began to take control and could walk around in the yard tremblingly.
Xue Tong poured mana into the bone puppet. There is no such thing as Fahai in the bone puppet. All mana is stored in the bones. At present, it can only store less than 10% of his mana.
Another three months later, Xue Tong brought the bone puppet to a cliff. With a command, the bone puppet kicked off his big feet, spread out his long arms, pulled his bone fingers against the rock wall, and immediately climbed up several feet lightly, doing twenty or thirty steps in a row. It rises and falls, and in a blink of an eye, it reaches the top of the cliff a hundred feet high.
Switching to the forest, the bone puppet shuttled and jumped. As soon as a frightened pointed-eared fox jumped out of its hiding place, the shadow of the bone puppet enveloped its head. The rabbit and the falcon caught the pointed-eared fox with its bone palm when it landed. The fox pierced the belly.
The surrounding area is filled with miasma, it is the dense jungle near Scale Hill.
…
When Xue Tong finished practicing half of the third level of Shen Chi Jue, the gray spots in his mind became restless again, stretching out crystal filaments to absorb spiritual power.
Xue Tong stopped practicing Chi Jue and thought of the gray dot sucking souls and feeding back the sea of consciousness.
"The shortcut to cultivating spiritual power is to hunt and kill monsters. As long as you don't kill them too hard, let the beast soul escape..."
He needs a lot of monsters!
The first one he thought of was the demon rat from Xishan Jade Farm!
Xue Tong made preparations, and Wei Geng presented him with the acquired explosive bomb, cloud control talisman, sect fire bomb, the newly drawn eight-layer lightning strike talisman, and the strongest rock shield talisman allowed to be sold by Jubao Pavilion store.
He prevented Lu Huanzhi and Huang Qing from ambushing and attacking, making sure that they could not be defeated, but at least they could escape.
Xue Tong waited continuously for a month. In the dense forest separated by a mountain from the place of memory, he finally waited for the moment when the demon squirrel foraged for food at night. He succeeded as he wished, and the spirit of the Rat, who had evolved to the late martial arts stage, was swallowed by Hui Dot in one gulp.
Gray Dot seemed to be unable to eat anymore and vomited out most of it.
Xue Tong even had an unexpected surprise...
He knocked on Hong Tianyou's courtyard door.
"Xue Tong?!" Hong Tianyou, who was in a bad mood, opened his eyes wide.
"Do you think I have brought something good?" Xue Tong waved the green sect jade plaque that was covered with mildew in his hand.
