On the high roof of the underground palace, a trace of moonlight faintly shines through, vaguely illuminating the space.

One puppet after another, stacked on the ground one after another, the huge shape of the figure is inlaid with iron armor, the fists are clenched with five fingers, the size of an ordinary carriage, and the lines made of mud are still clearly visible, but the inside is refined from an unknown material, and then connected by silk threads.

Ji Ning's gaze swept over the bodies of those huge puppets in turn, those behemoths built in ancient times, I don't know how many places Shen Yu Zhenren has fought with, that terrifying hammer may easily shatter a hill, and one arm has the length of a winding river.

The tall head sat on top of his body, his eyes were empty, and there were no cobwebs in them, because his eye sockets were so big that the spiders living underground could not pull so many spider silk webs.

This is a puppet made of thaumaturgy.

Ji Ning was shocked for a while, and then sighed.

If these puppets were still alive, they didn't know what kind of storm they would cause in the cultivation world.

There are hundreds of giant puppets in this, each of which is probably not weaker than the sword ghost puppet, and they have all been given life by thaumaturgy, and they can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on their own to practice and live slowly.

- If only that were the case.

Ji Ning fell silent.

He remembered that in the notes left by Shen Yuzhen, he had said that he had found a group of puppets handed down from ancient times, all of which were refined with thaumaturgy and fell into dormancy.

When he learned thaumaturgy, he practiced according to those dormant puppets, but he didn't expect that because of the years, the bodies of those dormant puppets had already undergone indescribable changes, resulting in him not being able to refine real puppets full of vitality, but only in vain.

Just like that puppet sword ghost.

Although he has some autonomous consciousness, he is obviously not comparable to humans, and is far from a puppet that is truly refined with thaumaturgy, and must accept the control of this large array in order to be like a fish in water.

And these puppets in front of Ji Ning's eyes were the same back then, all of them required a lot of aura to activate.

As for Shen Yu Zhenren, he couldn't take out so many spirit stones for a while, so he could only keep these semi-finished products and refine the puppet core with thaumaturgy, hoping that one day they would be able to awaken on their own.

And what happened later, Shen Yuzhen himself also expected it.

He already had a guess in his notes, saying that these half-finished puppets would most likely not awaken their consciousness, but would only obey his orders and die alone in the underground palace.

And those puppet cores that can automatically and slowly absorb the aura of heaven and earth will also slowly decay over time, condensing into an extremely yin thing, that is, the Sui Yin bead he needs.

Ji Ning took a deep breath, crawled along his arm to the chest of a tall puppet, and gestured something to his chest, so a bead that exuded the cold aura of the extreme yin was suddenly pulled out by him.

Xue Zhongjing and the others below were still standing at the entrance of the passage, looking at these behemoths with a shocked and wary expression.

It was hard for them to imagine what they would do if these things suddenly woke up, after all, they could see from their size that these puppets must be stronger than the white bone puppet yin, and they must be characters of the same level as the puppet sword ghost.

"That's ...... Sui Yinzhu?! ”

Xue Zhongjing looked at Ji Ning's busy movements, and at this time, the latter had already come to the head of another puppet, and the core of each puppet was in a different position, and it was necessary to perceive it carefully to find it.

At this time, Ji Ning had already taken three of them one after another.

"Sui Yinzhu? What's the use of him playing with this? ”

Hearing Xue Zhongjing's words, Qi Lan also looked at Ji Ning with some surprise.

It turned out that the things that were willing to let Ji Ning give up the other treasures in the dungeon were the Sui Yin beads condensed on the bodies of these puppets after they died.

No wonder, Ji Ning would say that these things are useless to them.

"What is Sui Yinzhu?"

Zhen Xixi on the side asked curiously, she had never heard of this name.

"The so-called Sui Yin Bead is any powerful life, including humans, demon beasts, puppets, yin things, etc., after death, because there is still a large amount of dead qi left in the body, and in contact with the aura, there is a chance to slowly breed a kind of yin thing."

"During the Gaozu period, the ghost cultivation of Great Xia was rampant, and the exercises they practiced were extremely evil, and the Sui Yin Bead was equivalent to their exclusive elemental spirit stone, and it was a hundred times rarer than the normal traditional spirit stone."

"It's just a hundred-year-old Sui Yin Pearl, it is said that at that time, it was all fried by those ghost cultivators for a thousand taels of high-grade spirit stones!"

"So much!"

When Zhen Xixi heard this, his eyes immediately fiery, and he turned his head to look at the puppets in the field.

If things are really as Xue Zhongjing said, there are so many Sui Yin Beads here, wouldn't they all be rich?

"Don't think about it, this thing is worthless now."

Qi Lan said lightly on the side.

"Why!"

Zhen Xixi was stunned and asked a little puzzled.

Xue Zhongjing had clearly said just now that a hundred-year-old Sui Yin Pearl could be sold for a thousand high-grade spirit stones, and even if she was stupid, she knew that the year of this underground palace had a long history, and it had to be at least a few thousand years old.

If calculated in this way, each of the Sui Yin Beads in this must be at least more than 500 years old.

You must know that this kind of item has always been one plus one is greater than two, such as Ganoderma lucidum, a 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is definitely not only five times more expensive than a 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, fifty times is possible!

Xue Zhongjing looked at Ji Ning's back with a complicated expression.

Naturally, he knew why.

Back then, the ghost cultivation of Great Xia was rampant, and the world was chaotic, and the demand for Sui Yinzhu was naturally high and expensive, so many people did the business of digging graves and robbing tombs.

Different from their current adventure group, at that time, almost every household was digging graves, in order to find a Sui Yin Pearl, even the most ordinary kind, after selling it, it was enough for the family to have food and clothing for half a year.

The Great Xia official government explicitly forbids pouting people's graves and cracks down on ghost cultivation, but the world is big, even the most powerful imperial power cannot make all the world obey, not to mention that the Great Xia has just opened the country, everything is still in ruins, and the confrontation with external forces and the remnants of the previous dynasty is enough to be busy, how can there be time to deal with the internal ghost cultivation and the people.

It's just that later, Great Xia repelled foreign enemies, suppressed civil strife, and became more and more prosperous.

When the great Emperor Gaozu of Xia freed his hands, set up the Heaven Survey Division, and promulgated one law after another to punish the ghost cultivators in the world, the ghost cultivators who had caused trouble in the world all died out in an instant.

At that time, the rivers and lakes were bloody, and the well water in the whole world was dyed red, even in the Forbidden City.

In the encirclement and suppression again and again, the ghost cultivation lineage that once caused trouble in the world was almost completely extinct, and only a few of the remaining ones were completely retreated to the 100,000-mile barren mountains in southern Xinjiang and disappeared.

And after that, that Emperor Xia Gaozu, in order to prevent the restoration of ghosts in the world, even issued an order to prohibit all the buying and selling of ghost cultivation items, including but not limited to magic weapons, Taoism, cultivation resources, etc.

One of the most important things that is forbidden to be bought and sold is Sui Yin Zhu.

Whoever dares to sell it, if he catches it, it is the Zhulian Nine Clans.

And even if you don't sell it, you can't keep it in your hands, all the people monks should destroy it immediately after accidentally getting the Sui Yin Bead, otherwise once it is found out that the Sui Yin Bead has been kept privately, it will still be connected to the Nine Clans.

As soon as these laws came out, coupled with the strict investigation of the Heavenly Survey Divisions in various places, the road to wealth that was all the rage for a time to sell Sui Yin beads was completely extinct.

You can't hide it in your hands, and you can't sell it, because there are almost no ghost cultivators in the world, so things like Sui Yinzhu have become worthless tattered in an instant.

Even if it is very helpful for the cultivation of ghost cultivation, this thing can only be used by ghost cultivation, and if they can't sell it for money, it is useless for any of them to take it.

But why did Ji Ning have a soft spot for Sui Yinzhu, and even did not hesitate to give up the magic weapon in this underground palace?

Xue Zhongjing and Qi Lan both fell into contemplation at the same time.

Zhen Xixi on the side was confused, and still didn't understand why this Sui Yinzhu was useless to herself, but since Qi Lan and Xue Zhongjing didn't speak, she had just reaped enough benefits, so she naturally let Ji Ning go.

"Is he a ghost who can't cultivate?" / "Brother Ji, can't you know ghosts?"

In the silence, Xue Zhongjing and Qi Lan had ideas in their heads.

Xue Zhongjing believes that Ji Ning may be a ghost cultivator himself.

Because before, he already knew that Ji Ning was the "mortal" wanted by the governor of the Heavenly Survey Mansion, and now that his strength is soaring, he must have gotten some unspeakable opportunity.

And if that chance is the fate of ghost cultivation, then everything makes sense, which can explain why Ji Ning is only in the willow bone realm, and when facing the ordinary condensation realm, he doesn't fall behind at all.

The physique is as strong as a demon, which is one of the characteristics of ghost cultivation.

And now, he is collecting Sui Yin beads again, so the credibility of such a guess is a little bigger.

For a moment, Xue Zhongjing's face showed a hint of hesitation.

He originally wanted to snatch Ji Ning's opportunity, but if that opportunity was the inheritance of ghost cultivation, it would be useless for him to take it.

There is no way, the Great Xia Dynasty has always had zero tolerance for the existence of such things as ghost cultivation.

Even if he took this inheritance, ran rampant in Beijun, and made a name for himself on the stage of the Xuan Domain or even bigger, what use would it be? Back then, so many ghost cultivators in Great Xia were defeated and were all exterminated by the Heavenly Survey Mansion.

Even if he cultivated to the body of a saint, once he revealed that he was a ghost cultivator, he would immediately be exterminated.

This road is a dead-end road.

For a moment, Xue Zhongjing fell into deep thought.

And Qi Lan didn't think about it so much, he just simply thought that Ji Ning might have a channel to sell Sui Yin Beads, so he couldn't help but feel a little more worried in his eyes when he looked at the latter's back.

The reason why the ghost cultivators are so hated by the people of the world is because the latter are moody, because they have lost the sanity of normal people because of their cultivation exercises, and they have become cold-blooded and murderous.

Ji Ning is doing business with Ghost Cultivator, and he still has such a huge amount of Sui Yin Beads, I'm afraid that he has a life to earn and no life to spend!
