There is still half a month to go.

Lu Changan checked and filled in the gaps, and all kinds of materials and life-saving means were prepared.

A few days later.

The puppeteer neighbor on the opposite side came back with a bamboo basket on his back, looking dusty.

"The Mulberry Puppet Master has also reached the ninth layer of Qi refining."

"Huh! The divine sense is much stronger than the general late stage of qi refining, so what is the chance? ”

Lu Changan's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the middle-aged strong man with knotted muscles, and entered the courtyard.

The Sang Puppet Master is usually silent and rarely communicates with people.

However, twenty years of neighbors inevitably have some contacts.

A few years ago, the Sang puppet master had bought a high-grade talisman from Lu Chang'an, and he was received by Guan Qiaozhi at that time.

The puppeteer's means of strength mainly rely on puppets. In the face of some unexpected situations, the talisman is more convenient and practical.

The next day, Lu Changan took a small gift and went to the opposite courtyard.

He knew that the mulberry puppet master had a withdrawn personality, did not go around in any circles, and directly explained his intentions.

"What grade of puppet does Master Lu want to buy?"

The mulberry puppeteer's expression was slightly wooden.

The two stood in the courtyard and communicated, and they didn't know how to invite Lu Changan into the house for a cup of tea.

Lu Changan didn't care, and said:

"Are there any second-order puppets for sale?"

Sang Puppeteer's eyelids jumped, he looked at Lu Changan in astonishment, shook his head and said:

"Sang can only create a first-order late-stage puppet at most."

Lu Changan was skeptical.

Looking at the details of Guan Qiaozhi's puppet dog, as well as the divine sense of the Sang puppeteer, it should not be limited to this.

"Mulberry puppeteer, don't be humble. Your true skill, I've heard someone say. ”

"Who said that?"

The Sang puppeteer's expression changed slightly, and he said subconsciously.

"It doesn't matter who says it. Don't ask for second-order puppets, you sell me two first-order top-level bird puppets. ”

Lu Changan proposed.

Evergreen mana is not good at fighting techniques, and first-order top-level puppets can be used as a supplement to combat power.

No matter how bad it is, it acts as cannon fodder and increases the fault tolerance rate.

The ground rat is promoted to the second order, and it is not suitable for this kind of dirty work.

Golems have the advantage of not being afraid of life and death, and they are not afraid of most toxins.

The Sang puppet master hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly said, "I only have one first-order top-level bird puppet. You're going to have to exchange it for a second-order talisman. ”

"How precious are the second-order runes, far more than the first-order runes are several times ......"

The two negotiated for a moment and made a deal.

The Sang Puppet Master sold two first-order top-level puppets to Lu Changan.

A bird puppet, a heavily armored humanoid puppet.

Lu Changan paid for a few inferior second-order talismans.

These inferior second-order talismans were made by Lu Changan when he first came to Huanglong Immortal City, and the materials were limited, so they were simply eliminated to the Sang puppet master.

This is also in line with his current level of art.

The cost of a puppet is often twice that of a magic weapon of the same level, and it can be used for many years without major damage.

And the talisman is a consumable, and its value has skyrocketed from the second order.

"Lu Fu Master needs to pay attention to the fact that these two first-order top-level puppets, in the hands of most Qi Refining Cultivators, can only exert the strength of the late stage of ordinary Qi Refining."

In addition to the two puppets, the Sang puppeteer gave Lu Changan a jade cylinder, which contained a puppet control technique.

"To exert the peak strength of the first order, there are high requirements for the mastery of the controller's divine sense and puppet control technique."

"Thank you, Mulberry Master, for reminding me."

Lu Changan knows this.

He has a strong divine sense in this life, and he has a lot of free time, which is suitable for studying the way of puppets.

Controlling the puppet can also exert good strength.

In his previous life, he had a certain amount of knowledge or concern about the more mainstream inheritance of immortal cultivation, such as alchemy, formation, spiritual planting, and breeding.

Among them, the formation has a slight achievement.

Unpopular skills, such as puppets, are not among them.

Each monk has a limited amount of energy throughout his life.

In the previous life, he was able to cultivate to the end of the Dan, and at the same time push the Fu Art to the third order, and he also had to take care of the huge family and compete for the opportunity of the Yuan Baby, which can be described as exhausting.

It's like this life, limited by the years, there is a lot of free time every day.

In the second life, he was not sure that he could continue to reincarnate, and his cultivation was put first.

In this life, he still does not dare to ensure that there will be an afterlife.

Only by promoting the Yuan Infant and changing the soul qualitatively can we explore the true secret of the Nine Seals Tablet.

……

Ten days later.

Carrying a man and a woman, a flying boat flew out of the north gate of the Yellow Dragon Immortal City and headed for the endless gray mountain range.

Zhao Siyao wore a white dress, elegant and cold, and drove the flying boat in front.

The cold breeze blew three thousand green silks, and the fairy skirt fluttered back, outlining her plump and outstanding posture.

Lu Changan was dressed in a white robe, quiet and peaceful, like an ancient tree, rooted in the flying boat.

Look out at the faint mist of the mountains in the distance.

The information of the Black Mist Mountain Range appeared in Lu Chang'an's mind:

"The Black Mist Mountain Range traverses half of the Daqing Cultivation Realm, and there are many people in the Demon Beast Clan, so it is a powerful force that cannot be ignored in this cultivation realm."

"One of the large branches passes through the northern land of the Liang Kingdom, and it is also the Black Mist Mountain Range in the narrow sense of the mouth of the cultivators of the Yellow Dragon Immortal City."

"Most of this mountain range is shrouded in fog all year round, which has an effect on the monk's divine consciousness. From the outside to the inside, the darker the haze, the more dangerous the area entered. ”

Half an hour later.

The flying boat enters the outer reaches of the Black Mist Mountains.

Lu Changan's divine senses were restricted by at least half.

The aura and mist of this land contain a quality that is more suitable for the cultivation of demon beasts.

Here, whether the human monks are cultivating or recovering their mana, they have a sense of hardship.

"Let's go down and hurry."

Zhao Siyao took the boat, and the two fell to the ground.

"Flying in the sky of the Black Mist Mountains, the mana of the human monks fluctuated, like a bright light in the dark night, easily attracting the attention of a wide range of demon beasts. Especially the flock of birds! ”

Lu Changan has read the record: Some flocks of birds, hundreds or thousands, even if the vast majority of them are first-order demon birds, the monks in the foundation building period fall into it, and they have to shed their skin if they don't die.

The two of them entered the outer reaches of the mountain range for dozens of miles.

From time to time, I see demon beasts in the early and middle stages of the first order.

Traces of human monks appear occasionally, mostly as casual monks.

Some are hunting teams in groups of three or five.

Zhao Siyao, as a foundation building monk, as soon as the nearby monks approached slightly, they immediately avoided in awe.

……

Two hundred miles deep into the mountain range, Zhao Siyao slowed down.

At this time, the mist in the sky was light gray, and the strength and spiritual intelligence of the demon beasts encountered had increased significantly, and they were basically in the middle and late stages of the first order.

Some demon beasts with higher intelligence not only did not attack the two, but avoided them far away.

Hunting monsters in the world of cultivating immortals is not as simple as pulling monsters in online games.

A few alone, more than a dozen demon beasts, there is no threat to the two.

However, we must be wary of the demon beast group, the number of more than 100 will also pose a threat to the foundation building period.

As long as the two of them avoid it in time and not be surrounded by the demon beasts.

At this time, it has not yet reached the territory of the second-order demon beast.

The reason for slowing down.

The first is to identify the direction and avoid some risks.

The second is to look for precious herbs and spirit ores.

The "Phantom Heart Grass" adjuvant that Lu Changan got was picked by Zhang Tieshan from the Black Mist Mountain Range.

If you are extremely lucky, it is not impossible to find the "Xuanling Fruit" in the depths of the Black Mist Mountain Range.

……

A few days later.

Sou!

The ground rat, as strong as a leopard, flew from a ravine not far away.

In his mouth was a blood-colored flower.

"Second-Order Spirit Flower, Blood Ink Flower."

Lu Changan took the flower branch and was slightly surprised.

The Blood Ink Flower is the main material of several second-order elixirs, which is quite beneficial to the Blood Dao Exercises.

It can also be modulated into the spirit ink of the drawing rune, improving the quality of the second-order spirit ink!

"Lu Daoyou, this Blood Demon Flower is at least four hundred years old. You spirit rat really has a keen sense of smell. ”

Zhao Siyao exclaimed and praised.

In the past few days, since Lu Changan released the ground rock rat out to explore, every once in a while, there have been gains.

Most of them were first-order spiritual objects from the previous year.

The four-hundred-year-old second-order blood ink flower, such a precious spiritual object, is the first time it has appeared.

"Mostly luck! Also because we entered the second-order demon beast area, the resources are more abundant. ”

Lu Changan is modest on the surface, but he already has a judgment in his heart.

Ordinary rat-like monsters, their sense of smell is already sensitive.

The ground rock rat has a more sensitive sense after the bloodline mutation is improved.

In the Black Mist Mountains, the human monks' divine senses are limited, but the ground rats are like fish in water.

……

Half a month later.

A terrifying beast roar resounded through the mountains.

A three-foot-tall second-order bear demon, scarred and scarred, was being attacked by two monks, a man and a woman.

The main fighter was the white-dressed nun, who controlled an iron umbrella magic weapon.

The iron umbrella magic weapon sometimes turned into a sword and spear, sometimes into an umbrella shield, and sometimes sent out a few steel needles.

Around the second-order bear demon, the ground is hollowed, and there are some ground thorns and earthen walls.

There are also many deep holes.

It's impossible to predict which hole will suddenly pop out of a ferocious rat.

The bear demon roared incessantly, leaving more than a dozen bloody claw marks on its back.

In the distance, a man in white held a white bone bow and arrow, full of mana, and released a cold arrow from time to time.

Exactly.

The man in white uses a tall, heavily armored golem as cover to prevent the bear demon from throwing rocks from a distance.

Behind him, a puppet hovers around the sky, taking care of it.

"Boom".

The huge second-order bear demon fell in the mound, its ribs and hips each with a white bone arrow emitting black smoke.

"Fortunately, with the help of Lu Daoyou, if I am alone, my mana will run out, and I won't be able to kill this bear demon."

Zhao Siyao's eyes lit up and said happily.

"I'll just fight, mainly relying on Zhao Daoyou to suppress it head-on."

Lu Changan looked at the huge bear demon corpse and estimated the area of animal skin on its body, as the main material, I don't know how many second-order rune papers can be made.
