Chapter 525: There Are Guests in Wushan
The art of puppetry, like the rune path, is often considered to be a side-by-side technique, and is always dismissive whenever it is discussed.
But the young monks are always flocking to it, and before their strength is strong, whether it is a puppet or a talisman, it is an excellent auxiliary means, and some can even be called life-saving hole cards.
The Great Wu Sect is the most famous puppet sect in the Western Continent of the Firmament, and the puppets produced are the same as the talismans of the Taiyi Sect, which are widely sought after by middle and low-level monks, so this sect can also be regarded as a rich flowing oil.
With a wealth in his pocket, it is much easier to cultivate by himself or recruit apprentices, so the strength of the Great Witch Sect is also quite strong.
Wushan is where the mountain gate of the Great Wuzong is located, it is said that it was not originally called Wushan, and it was renamed Wushan after being occupied by the Great Wuzong.
Ye Bai's imperial sword flowed in the air, he was not in a hurry, along the way, from time to time, he fell, according to the topography of the mountains and rivers, practiced arranging some prohibitions, and flew for seven or eight days before he saw Wushan from afar.
Wushan is already close to the desert, and further north, it is the westernmost edge of the 100,000 Snow Mountain. So the climate here is quite odd, with blazing heat during the day and freezing cold at night. Except for the monks, very few mortals came here.
The landform here also has a unique flavor, full of eyes, the loess is flying, barren mountains and mountains, a barren, even the trees are sparse, rare few, also dwarf and fine branches and leaves.
Wushan Mountain has obviously been specially arranged, at a glance, it is tall and straight, the mountain is majestic, and the mountain is full of tall trees and green leaves. In the green shade, there are some pavilions and pavilions, quite a bit of fairy wild interest, and the top of the mountain is a large palace-like building, and the light comes and goes. Naturally, there is no need to say more.
After looking at it for a while, Ye Bai lowered the sword light and swept towards a mortal bazaar-like place at the foot of the mountain, there was sword light whistling around him from time to time, and the place he went to was also there, and he didn't need to enter the store to know. The business of the Great Witch Sect is quite good.
After landing, I saw people coming and going, bustling, and a lively scene. The cultivation of the monks who came and went varied, the low ones only had the Qi refining foundation, and the high ones were not lacking in half-step Yuan Infants.
The market set up by the Great Wuzong has a radius of hundreds of zhang, and the area is not large, but there are nearly 100 shops. With the power of a case, it supports a market, and it can also be seen that this sect is prosperous.
Ye Bai casually entered a store next to him, the store was not big, only ten square meters, as soon as he entered, Ye Bai had a feeling of being stunned, there were more than a dozen humanoid puppets hanging on the four walls. All of them were lifelike, and they saw Ye Bai enter the door. They turned their heads to look at him as if they were alive.
Ye Bai took a closer look, most of the mana of these puppets was equivalent to that of a monk in the late stage of Qi refining, and a few had the mana of the early and middle stage of foundation building.
"What do seniors want?"
A figure emerged from the puppet pile, a middle-aged man in his forties, with dark skin. With a frosty face, when he saw Ye Bai, his expression was slightly restrained.
This person's cultivation is only in the late stage of foundation building, standing in a pile of puppets, if you don't look closely. I almost thought it was a puppet.
"Show me the most haode puppet in your shop. ”
Ye Bai said softly.
"Wait a minute, senior!"
The shopkeeper immediately took down a puppet in the middle stage of foundation building from the wall, handed it to Ye Bai, and said with a slightly embarrassed face: "Forgive me, seniors, with the current cultivation of juniors, only this level of copper puppet can be made." ”
Ye Bai nodded slightly, he was not in a hurry to buy it, he just wanted to know more about the puppet first, this puppet, the appearance is a middle-aged bald man holding a big sword, the face is fierce, the hand is quite heavy, like copper and iron casting, the skin is made of some kind of demon beast skin, there is a little elasticity to the touch, Ye Bai's eyes separated a trace of divine sense, and found that the flesh and blood bones of this puppet are completely made of copper, and at his dantian, there is a spiritual stone-like thing that exudes fire vitality, which must be the source of his energy.
In addition, there are no meridians in the physical body, and there is no primordial spirit in the mind.
Ye Bai thought for a while and said, "How are the puppets of your Great Witch Sect graded, are they the same as monks?"
The shopkeeper said: "Roughly so, according to the strength from Qi refining to the Yuan Infant Stage, our puppets are generally divided into four levels of iron, copper, silver and gold, and most of the puppets of these four levels are made of these four materials to make the main body, of course, there are many other high-grade puppets made of materials, for convenience, we still call them gold puppets or silver puppets according to their strength." ”
"How do you drive it?"
The shopkeeper smiled: "It's very simple, the seniors only need to treat it as a magic weapon, brand it with their own Yuanshen brand, and you can drive it as you like." If the vitality in his mana spar is exhausted, as long as the predecessor enters the vitality of the same attribute, he can use it again. ”
Ye Bai was puzzled: "How many puppets can a monk drive at the same time, is there a limit, if you are a monk of the Great Witch Sect, each person drives dozens of puppets of the same realm, wouldn't it sweep across the Western Continent?"
The shopkeeper said: "The predecessors laughed, how many puppets can be driven at the same time, it also depends on how powerful the predecessor's Yuan Shen Liliang is, if the predecessor's Yuan Shen is ridiculously strong, it is not uncommon to drive the golden puppet of the Yuan Ying's strength, but the monks of our Great Wu Sect, the level of the Yuan Shen is only a step better than that of ordinary monks, and it is really a fool's dream to use the puppet to sweep the Western Continent." ”
Ye Bai nodded, with his current strength of the Yuan Spirit, it should not be a problem to barely drive a puppet in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, if he has the opportunity to get a golden puppet, it is also a good extra combat power.
"This puppet, how many spirit stones?"
"Fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones. ”
After Ye Bai paid the spirit stone, he put away the puppet, he naturally didn't look down on the strength of this puppet, but on some special occasions, maybe it could still play a role, just like the last time in Hell Valley, Lang Feizhou used a few puppets to lure away the purple jade bee, so bad, you can also give it away as a small gift.
When the shopkeeper saw that he had bought a puppet, he smiled even brighter and said: "What else do the seniors need, although the realm of the juniors is not high, but they have also cultivated in the Great Witch Sect for nearly a hundred years, and they still understand the way of puppets, which should be of some help to the seniors." ”
Ye Bai said happily: "The puppet with meridians and primordial gods, which level does it belong to?"
"Silver Golem, Advanced Silver Golem"
The shopkeeper blurted out: "That level of puppet, although powerful, but it is very troublesome to make, it takes a long time, only the inner and outer sect elders of this sect, or those elite inner disciples know how to make it, and each one is made, basically kept for their own use, if it is not for the urgent need for spirit stones, few people sell them." ”
Ye Bai frowned slightly and said, "Is there anything for sale in the nearby store?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, his face was slightly embarrassed and said: "I don't know about this, seniors need to ask for themselves, the largest shops here are all opened by high-ranking monks of this sect." ”
Ye Bai nodded, walked out of the store, and went to other stores.
The shops here don't just sell puppets, some shops also sell materials for making puppets, and most of the people who buy and sell are of course the disciples of the Great Witch Sect itself. In addition, there are also many monks from other sects who deal in some magic weapons and pills here.
Ye Bai turned around the largest shops, but he didn't get a satisfactory answer, it seemed that that that kind of high-grade silver puppet was really rarely sold.
Feeling slightly helpless in his heart, he pondered whether to directly worship the mountain and enter the Great Witch Sect, and exchange a few from the high-ranking monks of the Great Witch Sect by virtue of the reputation of the Moon Dragon Daoist or Ji Baiyi......
"That guy actually came out?"
"Those young geniuses in the sect who are above the top of the sect actually let him go down the mountain so easily?"
Just as Ye Bai was thinking, there was a sudden burst of discussion in the crowd around him.
Ye Bai followed everyone's gaze and saw a middle-aged man walking down the path leading to the top of Wushan Mountain.
This person was dressed in a somewhat tattered shirt, with a thin figure, five locks of long beard, dressed as a scribe, with a sad look on his face, looking a little down, with a blue nose and swollen face, as if he had just been beaten up, and even when he walked, he staggered a little.
"Fellow Daoist, who is this person?"
Ye Bai asked a white-clothed monk in the early stage of Jindan beside him.
The white-clothed monk saw that Ye Bai had the cultivation of the middle stage of Jindan, his breath was deep, and he didn't dare to hold it up, so he arched his hand and said: "This person's name is Song Xuanyue, I heard that he was transferred from the Eastern Continent Exhibition, and he is also a puppet man, but he is very arrogant and arrogant, after coming to our Great Wu Sect, he actually said that the level of our Great Wu Sect is not as good as his sect, and several genius disciples in the sect were angry, and invited him to go up the mountain to compete. ”
Ye Bai nodded when he heard this, and his eyes fell on Song Xuanyue's body again, with a very interested look in his eyes. (To be continued......)
