Chapter 133: Refining
In the following time, Mo Zhuoyu kept trying to match the ratio of gold stone to crystal powder.
With the experiments, the clay figurines refined became more and more in line with the standards of the puppet body.
It took her a whole month and nearly half of the black mud to finally refine a qualified puppet body.
Mo Zhuoyu recorded the final steps, and then refined five more clay figurines in one go. Only then began to prepare, the next stage of work.
Refining a puppet body is just the most basic job. The next work will determine the success or failure of the puppet refining.
Mo Zhuoyu returned to the Shanglin Courtyard and told Su Min that he would retreat for a period of time, and no one should disturb him.
Then, she closed the courtyard door, returned to the main house, and set up the anti-divine consciousness array. After everything was in order, Mo Zhuoyu took out the refined clay figurines one by one.
Once the puppet's body is crafted, it's time to draw a pattern that allows it to move flexibly.
Because of the different roles of the puppets, the magic patterns are also different.
Mo Zhuoyu is now in contact with it for the first time, and decided to start with the simplest method pattern.
The simplest magic pattern is to refine a puppet similar to a living servant. This kind of puppet only needs to know a few common movements, so the magic pattern is not very complicated.
Mo Zhuoyu wrote it down silently in his mind, and then carefully copied it several times with paper.
After feeling that he already had a number in his heart, Mo Zhuoyu began to try to draw on the clay figure.
The most important thing for the puppet pattern painting is a few magic pattern nodes.
According to the most common method, Mo Zhuoyu set several nodes at the joints of the puppet.
Although this makes the weakness of the puppet more obvious, the existence of nodes also greatly increases the flexibility of the puppet joints.
So, although we know its shortcomings, most puppet settings still inevitably follow this method.
The spiritual power in Mo Zhuoyu's hand was transported into a thin line, and it was first dotted on the puppet's wrist.
On the porcelain white skin with transparent gold, a transparent source of spiritual power was immediately formed, and Mo Zhuoyu's hand steadily pulled it upwards along the puppet arm.
Until the elbow, it stopped again, and poured spiritual power, causing it to condense a node inside it again.
Then come to the shoulder, the node on the shoulder is one of several key nodes, it must be more careful, and it requires more spiritual power.
Mo Zhuoyu carefully stopped his fingers at the joints on his shoulders and used his mana. An even larger spiritual power instantly followed Mo Zhuoyu's fingers to the puppet's shoulder, and then was gradually sucked into its body, forming a larger source point.
The spiritual power emitted from the source point instantly connected the magic patterns on the arm.
Next, Mo Zhuoyu concocted the same method, and painted the magic patterns on the other arm and legs one by one.
There weren't many torso nodes left, and Mo Zhuoyu didn't spend much time to draw them.
Then there is the biggest difficulty in the drawing of the magic pattern, that is, the design of the magic pattern of the puppet's head.
Whether a puppet is flexible or not, whether it can obey the orders of its master, these crucial things are all concentrated in the magic pattern on its head.
Of course, this is just a convention, and if you insist on being creative and setting it in other parts, it's not impossible. But that kind of success rate is bound to be unsatisfactory.
Mo Zhuoyu is now following the most regular method, and before he fully grasps the rules, he dares to break the rules, which is just grandstanding!
First, the magic patterns on the neck were painted one by one, and then Mo Zhuoyu's fingers came to the corners of the puppet's lips. For the puppet, which is mainly used to obey orders, the lips are not an important part.
Its eyes, ears, and even its nose are the more critical places.
Mo Zhuoyu's fingers moved from his mouth to the top of his nose.
If Mo Zhuoyu wanted a puppet with a keen sense of smell, she would have to spend a lot of effort now to carve the formation lines on its nose. It is like a human nerve, able to respond sensitively to all smells.
However, Mo Zhuoyu did not have any requirements for this, she paid more attention to the sight and hearing of the puppet.
After all, these two perceptions are the ones that play the greatest role in battle. The purpose of refining the puppet was not to get a doll that could serve tea and pour water.
Therefore, for the carving of eyes and ears, Mo Zhuoyu spent twelve points of thought.
The puppet's eyes, Mo Zhuoyu, were refined with a separate starlight stone.
Aluminite is not only a stone that can emit light on its own, it is not as hard as a golden stone, but it contains a huge spiritual power that a golden stone does not have. As a result, the magic weapon added to the star stone refining often has the advantage of automatic reaction.
In the cultivation realm, there is also a legend - magic weapons refined with astral stones are more likely to produce spirituality.
Although this news has not been confirmed, it has not affected people's pursuit of starlight stone.
If Mo Zhuoyu hadn't collected a large number of starlight stones in the secret realm, he wouldn't dare to squander them like this now.
For the puppet's ears, Mo Zhuoyu didn't use special materials, but he also spent a lot of thought when carving the pattern.
After the engraving of the French patterns in these two places was completed, Mo Zhuoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, because of the long hours and highly concentrated work, she felt a little tired.
Getting up and stretching his limbs, Mo Zhuoyu walked around the room a few times, moved around, and then meditated and breathed again before starting the next work.
After the magic pattern is drawn, the puppet is considered to be more than half complete. Next, all you need to do is place the spiritual power source in its body, and then connect all the magic patterns to it, and it is completed.
Mo Zhuoyu originally planned to use spirit stones as a source of spiritual power for the puppet.
This may not be a problem for ordinary, servant puppets. However, if the puppet is really used for combat, or some other more important use, the power that the spirit stone can generate is far from enough.
Therefore, Mo Zhuoyu thought about it again and again, and still chose the starlight stone as the core of the puppet.
Although the starlight stone is not as easy to stimulate spiritual power as the spirit stone, the total amount of spiritual power it contains greatly exceeds that of ordinary spirit stones.
Take out a complete star stone, a fist-sized stone, glowing with a slight starlight, crystal clear texture, unconsciously, it attracts everyone's attention.
Mo Zhuoyu felt slightly distressed, and then released the starlight stone into the puppet's chest from the specially set aside exit.
Under the operation of the spiritual power in his hand, the light of the starlight stone became more and more dazzling, and the magic pattern on the puppet's body seemed to be attracted, and it instantly came to life.
All the magic patterns emitted a faint white light, and continued to spread like life, until they finally converged on the starlight stone, and then stopped.
Looking at the lifelike puppets on the table, Mo Zhuoyu's eyes filled with a faint smile.
There is still one last step to go, and this puppet can actually start to use.
