Chapter 66: The Puppet Technique (2)
This time, Concubine Yan Rong not only planned to persuade Xu You, but also to warn Liu Zhenyuan by the way.
It's just that after I came, I found that Xu You's cave was closed, and the ban on it did not allow anyone to enter, and there was no response when I knocked on the door.
"He's supposed to be refining weapons. Liu Zhenyuan knew that Xu You couldn't cultivate, so he would inevitably concentrate on refining weapons, besides, Xu You was indeed talented in refining weapons, which was already a recognized fact after experiencing this Six Peaks exchange and revealing Shen You's strength.
After waiting for a while, Concubine Yan Rong didn't plan to continue waiting, although she had not been in contact with Xu You for a long time, she knew this young man a little, and the other party was not the kind of person who deliberately caused trouble and publicity, so this time she came to persuade herself, in fact, there was no need.
On the contrary, it was Liu Zhenyuan, she should warn her more, this point is that her strength is strong, and the senior brother of the Liu family once talked to her about it.
Jia Luo Daoren accepted six true disciples before, and the third disciple is a member of the Liu family, and he is still one of Liu Zhenyuan's brothers, this person's cultivation is very high, he is already an eighth-level qi refiner, and his swordsmanship is extremely high, and he came to her specifically to tell her about the grievances between juniors, and now Xu You is growing famous, so some of his background has also been dug up.
For example, many people know that Xu You was taken up the mountain by Concubine Yan Rong.
Just when Concubine Yan Rong was about to turn around and leave, she turned around and saw a woman coming up in the distance, this woman was on par with Concubine Yan Rong, and she was wearing the same black robe as a disciple of the inner sect.
The only difference is that Concubine Yan Rong's clothes have the embroidered badge of the true disciple, but the woman opposite does not.
The woman was slightly stunned when she saw Concubine Yan Rong, and then saluted: "Lin Xueqiao, the inner gate of the Refining Instrument Peak, has seen Senior Sister Yan." ”
Concubine Yan Rong's expression was flat, and she just opened her mouth and asked, "Do you recognize me?"
"Senior Sister Yan has just become a true heir, and the disciples of the Six Peaks know it. Lin Xueqiao replied calmly, and then said: "Besides, Xu You also mentioned to me that not long after he started, there were only two women in the entire sect, one was me, and the other was Senior Sister Yan. ”
The implication is that even if she doesn't recognize Concubine Yan Rong and sees a female disciple of the inner door at the gate of Xu Youdong Mansion, who can it be besides Concubine Yan Rong?
"You are Bing Xue smart, Lin Xueqiao, I know you, Elder Fei values you very much, maybe in a few years, you will be Elder Fei's true disciple. After Concubine Yan Rong finished speaking, she didn't stay any longer, her body moved, and she was already in the sky.
She is already at the seventh level of qi refining, so she can naturally perform the art of controlling the sky.
Lin Xueqiao glanced at the departing Concubine Yan Rong, walked to the entrance of Xu You's cave alone to investigate, and found nothing, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the closed stone door, and muttered to herself: "I can't cultivate, what are you still doing in retreat, this time Elder Fei wants me to go out with him, I'm afraid it will take at least two or three months to come back, I'm not here during this time, what if someone wants to deal with Xu You?"
Lin Xueqiao had worry in her eyes, but she thought about it for a while, and said: "But with Concubine Yan Rong here, I can protect him somewhat, and there are Shen Tuo and Jiang Heng, it should be fine, and Xu You is timid and never takes risks, even if someone wants to be unfavorable to him, he should be afraid." ”
After waiting for a while, the stone door did not open, and Lin Xueqiao could only leave.
On the second day, Lin Xueqiao came again, the stone gate was still closed, there was no way, she could only leave a letter and give it to a female disciple of the outer gate, so that she could come to see it often, as long as Xu You came out, she would hand over the letter to Xu You in person.
The relationship between the female disciple of the outer sect and Lin Xueqiao is extremely high, and now Lin Xueqiao's identity is not what it used to be, and it is too late to stammer, so she naturally agrees.
Lin Xueqiao left, and went out to practice with Elder Fei and more than a dozen Refining Peak disciples, Xu You didn't know that this time he was in retreat, and it took him a month directly.
This was something that had never happened before, in the past month, Concubine Yan Rong had come twice, Jiang Heng and Shen Tuo had also come seven or eight times respectively, and as for the female disciple of the outer sect who Lin Xueqiao had entrusted to deliver the letter, she came almost every day, and the result naturally made her annoyed.
"This Xu You, obviously he can't cultivate, so which door is closed? Even if it is a refining weapon, he will die in three or five days, for the outer gate, five days of retreat is considered long, he thinks he is an inner disciple, or even an elder? I don't think it will be a big sleep inside. The female disciple was full of slander in her heart, but there was no way, now Lin Xueqiao's identity is not what it used to be, and she can only do it with all her heart for what Lin Xueqiao entrusted.
Of course, except for these few, the others are slowly forgetting Xu You and forgetting the name.
After all, Xu You became famous because of the conflict with Liu Zhenyuan and the rise of Shen Tuo and Jiang Heng, but after all, his foundation is unstable, and he is not at the first level of Qi refining, and he will not be able to cultivate in the future.
For a month, almost no one talked about him in private anymore.
Someone forgot about him, but Yoo Jinwon didn't.
Since he lost two games in the Six Peaks Exchange and lost face, he also chose to retreat, so that he could hide from people and restore his state of mind.
But his retreat did not dissolve the anger, but rather prevailed.
During this time, he asked his henchmen to keep inquiring about Xu You's situation, and when he learned that Xu You was in retreat, Liu Zhenyuan disdained it, a waste person, and the retreat was useless.
Actually, Xu You's retreat is really useful.
At this moment, in the refiner, Xu You is shirtless, anyway, he is the only one here, he can wear whatever he wants, his hair is also messy, and there are all kinds of messy devices on the ground.
The forge had been working, and in addition to that, there were many formations on the ground, all of which were glowing with spiritual light.
Xu You didn't cultivate, so he didn't use his ontological mana to urge the formation, but used the spirit crystal.
As a refiner, the first thing to understand is the use of spirit crystals, Xu You is definitely an expert in this point, and as an ordinary outer disciple, it is definitely impossible to have a large number of spirit crystals to squander, but Xu You is different, firstly, he has enough contribution points, and secondly, he can also enjoy discounts when he exchanges spirit crystals.
I have to say that the treatment of disciples who have made meritorious contributions to the sect is different.
In short, Xu You has no shortage of spirit crystals.
Puppetry is an extremely advanced refining skill, and the things that need to be mastered are ten times more difficult and ten times more complicated than refining a magic sword or an ornament alone.
Although it is a puppet, it must be psychic, so it is generally made of wood.
Wood comes from trees, and trees are spiritual creatures, and because of this, many puppets are made of wood, just like those spiritual wood guards in the Golden Pavilion, they are all made of wood.
It's just that even if it's wood, you can't use ordinary wood, otherwise even if the refining is successful, others will break it with one blow, and there will be a fart.
Therefore, the wood used in the puppet technique is either hemlock wood or wood that has been blessed with arcane techniques.
Xu You didn't have hemlock wood here, and it just so happened that there was a way to bless ordinary wood with secret techniques in that book, so Xu You began to try.
It's just that this secret technique is difficult to master, and Xu You spends half of his time practicing this secret technique repeatedly.
In the end, Xu You still failed mostly, after all, his ontological cultivation was really poor, and this would also have an impact.
Later, Xu You thought of a way.
That is the curse mark of the demon clan, there is a steel curse mark here, and the wood that blesses the steel spell mark is not as hard as gold and iron, and the effect is no different than hemlock wood.
In addition, Xu You also had other ideas, if the steel spell seal was blessed with animal bones or even human bones, it should also be used to refine puppets.
It's a pity that Xu You doesn't have any bones in his hands, so he still has to use wood for his first puppeteer.
Xu You dismantled the wooden table and wooden chairs in his cave mansion, which was barely enough, strictly speaking, the puppet man is also a magic weapon, but it is very special, so when Xu You was refining, he added many of his ideas to it, and added the strong body supernatural power, and what maintained the puppet man's action was the eighteen magic circles engraved inside.
Because Xu You himself has no cultivation and no mana, he needs to have a built-in spirit crystal, but Xu You feels that this is too inconvenient, in case there is not enough spirit crystal in the outer gate, what should this be?
So Xu You secretly engraved another demon curse mark in the puppet man's body.
Soul Snatcher!
