Chapter 255: Making a Puppet

A monk with a high level of spiritual root talent and a middle and lower level of comprehension may enter the realm very quickly in the early stage, but it will not be long before he will be weak and stuck by the bottleneck between the great realms, and it will be difficult to break through.

On the contrary, a monk with a superior understanding and a middle-class spiritual root talent has no obvious advantages in the early stage of cultivation, and may even have to be over half a hundred years old to advance to the foundation building, but this kind of person may not be a late bloomer, and he has accumulated a lot of money, and since then he has been making great progress all the way, and he has come to the top.

It is important to know that two conditions are required to break through the realm, one is cultivation, and the other is the state of mind, both of which are indispensable.

The better the spiritual root qualification, the faster the progress of cultivation, which can save a lot of hard work, and the state of mind has a certain relationship with understanding, as long as the state of mind is reached, the breakthrough realm will not encounter any bottlenecks, and it will be unimpeded.

In short, the role of comprehension is very important, in Ye Pianran's opinion, improving comprehension in a short period of time is even more precious than thirty times the speed of time, after all, the latter only gives her an extra hundred and forty-five days of cultivation time out of thin air, while the former can allow her to gain a huge improvement in a short period of time.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Pianran sat cross-legged in mid-air, with his heart to the sky, and after abandoning distracting thoughts, he quickly entered the state of cultivation.

Greedy to chew more, Ye Pianran didn't plan to spend all her time refining her skills, she just wanted to lay the foundation for making puppets when she learned refining weapons, so she stopped here and turned to studying puppetry.

When she successfully made her first high-grade magic weapon, her refining level had reached the third-order level, and she would have to make a spiritual weapon even higher.

On this day, she came to the step of carving the formation pattern as usual, and after several hours of caution, she finally landed the last stroke, which was connected from end to end, and was natural, without the slightest mistake or defect.

Half an hour later.

"If you want to learn the puppet technique, you must be proficient in both the formation and the refining weapon, and now that I have advanced these two skills to the third-order level, it's time to try making a puppet."

After the time of the two pillars of incense, a bird-shaped object that seemed to be iron and non-iron took shape in the furnace, and if you look closely, you will find that compared to the previous semi-finished product, this bird is obviously much more refined, and even the body size is also a third smaller, obviously removing some superfluous impurities, and the smelting level is even further.

Therefore, the secret of making the puppet move is actually to engrave such a self-contained closed-loop formation into the puppet's body, of course, no one knows this truth, but how to do it is the mystery of the puppet technique.

The real world has passed one day, and thirty days have passed in the golden space.

Holding this puppet bird in the palm of his hand, Ye Pianran opened the groove located under its abdomen and filled it with a spirit stone.

And so, another five days passed.

A lifelike puppet bird was finally born, smaller than the first attempt, about half the size of a head, the whole is exquisite, even the feathers on its body are distinct, except that there is no life of a living thing, it seems to be not much different from a real bird.

The next most important step is the formation of the body, which is to depict the formation.

With a breath, she swept aside the iron bird on the stage, this iron bird was a half-finished product made by her imitation of the avian demon beast, and it was also one of the foundations laid for the making of the puppet, if all went well, the first puppet from her hand would be the appearance of this iron bird.

Giggles!

The next moment, the puppet bird moved, and a pair of obsidian-like eyes suddenly opened, reflecting Ye Pianran's face.

Her comprehension is not bad, and the Yuan Shen is even stronger than ordinary people, and with the effect of increasing the comprehension of the golden space, the progress is very amazing, and she has obtained the dual identity of refiner and array mage in just one month.

"It's done!"

The process of smelting requires full concentration, and as long as you are slightly distracted during this period, you will immediately fall short, which is a great test for the refiner's primordial spirit.

The power of the Earth Spring Fire is too strong, and she can't fully control it now, if she uses its refining weapon, she is afraid that the material will be burned into flying ash in an instant, not to mention extravagance and waste, and it is very energy-consuming, and it is really unusable.

When the furnace rises to a certain temperature, Ye Pianran takes out a large number of materials, throws them into the furnace, manipulates the smelting fire to smelt these materials into liquids, and then according to the corresponding proportions, fuses them into a complete mass and begins to shape.

There is a process of trial and error in everything, and it cannot be achieved overnight, and Ye Pianran's first attempt to make a puppet did not fail unexpectedly.

There was a blazing flame rising from the heavy furnace, not the fire of her earth, but the smelting fire of the furnace itself.

There is still a certain difference between the production of a puppet and a pure refining weapon, just as the arrangement of the formation is different from the depiction of the energy operation pattern in the puppet's body, and the connection between the two also takes some time, so that the sum of all is a month.

She was not discouraged, but recuperated, restored her condition to the peak, and started a new round of attempts again.

Ye Pianran's face was happy.

As for refining weapons, perhaps because of the nature of sword cultivation, she did not encounter the slightest obstacle when she was melting iron and making steel, and she only failed once and successfully made an iron sword, and then it was a low-grade magic weapon, a medium-grade magic weapon, and a high-grade magic weapon......

……

Time is merciless, and it passes like water.

Now, Ye Pianran has passed this difficulty, and the next thing she has to do is to combine the two steps together, if she can successfully make a qualified puppet, then her puppet technique can be regarded as a beginner.

At this point, the production of the puppet is basically half successful, but there is still one last step, which is to carry out a large fire quenching to better connect every part of the puppet's body, carefully craft, and check for gaps.

In the past thirty days, she has first focused on puppetry, because it takes a lot of energy to get started with puppetry, and she has not been involved in immortal cultivation skills before, if she wants to learn it, it will not happen overnight, but now is an opportunity.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that she has some formation foundation, don't forget, in Huixing City, she assisted Baokui Zhenjun in arranging the Qianyang Fuhe Formation, although it didn't play a big role, but it also benefited her a lot.

As we all know, formations can operate on their own without human control, and the same is true for puppets, the reason for this is that the energy forms a perfect closed loop in it, and as long as there is energy supply, it will not stop functioning.

Sitting in mid-air, Ye Pianran muttered to herself, a complete set of refining instruments was placed in front of her, the fire in the furnace was scorching, the residual temperature was slightly dissipated, and the finished product she made was an iron bird the size of a head, which was not fine, but it was very vivid, as if it was about to fly.

"It's done."

Touching the puppet bird's head, Ye Pianran showed a pleased smile.

There may be changes later in this chapter, and I always feel that the details of the puppet production are a little wrong...... But not necessarily, let me think about it
