Then the two separated, Song Shuyao wanted to retreat and forge new earth tools, and Li Mo also had to start drilling and developing puppetry.

Closing the door, Li Mo first took out the ingredients of the eleventh formula.

Sanmu sap, green ancient banana stems, Fangrun fluorite...... There are a total of seventeen kinds of materials, each of which is rare, and even if Li Mo has collected it for so many years, it is a full seven before he arrives at the ferry.

Fortunately, the ferry market is rich in goods, so the next seven items are gathered.

Then, Li Mo put the materials into the Youfeng Ding one by one according to the method recorded in the data, and then sacrificed the water dragon earth fire and the fire of the burning tiger.

Then he used the fire movement method of the Tianluo puppet technique, and pushed forward slightly with both hands, and the two earth fires slowly penetrated the wall of the ding, heading towards the inside of the ding.

This is the most important point that distinguishes Tianluo puppet technique from the casting method, not to burn the casting under the ding with earth fire, but to make the earth fire enter the ding.

Naturally, the difficulty of this refining was suddenly more than ten times higher.

The storage of the tripod is to allow the fire not to directly contact the material and have a buffer zone, and the fire into the tripod requires the caster's fire control ability to be extremely high.

It needs to be shielded from the material by using true qi as a barrier.

On the one hand, True Qi must be strong enough to isolate fire, and at the same time, it must be able to allow the temperature of fire to penetrate through.

And even the slightest instability in the refining process will cause excessive penetration of firepower and destroy the material.

If you change to other second-class and third-class casters, it will be difficult to move an inch at the beginning of this refining alone, which is the first difficulty of the puppet making technique: transporting fire.

But Li Mo has the soul of a fire dragon, and his ability to manipulate flames has reached a level beyond the reach of others.

True Qi is lucky, forming a barrier of its own, perfectly isolating firepower and materials.

Under the precise fire temperature control, with the brute beast Neidan as the center, various materials slowly melted, covering the inner dan layer by layer.

This is the second difficulty of puppetry: liquid overlay.

The key to this level is that the fire temperature must be sufficient to penetrate the material and allow it to melt, but it must be left undissolved.

Li Mo carefully refined, and Lingtong was observing the scene in Dingzhong at the moment.

The fire is only a fraction of a millimeter away from the Inner Dan, which covers all other materials and makes the Inner Dan unaffected by the fire temperature.

At this moment, if anyone looks at this scene, they must be stunned.

This distance can be said to be grasped just right, and it is full of master-level demeanor.

If the fire is far away, other materials will not be able to completely cover it, and if it is close, Nedan will begin to melt.

Many puppeteers often have to go through years of study if they want to master the skills of liquid covering, and there are only ones like Li Mo who can master the skills for the first time.

Of course, in addition to his profound cultivation and anti-heavenly understanding, the existence of the soul of the fire dragon and the psychic eye also played a decisive role.

An hour passed, and a fist-sized liquid ball formed in Ding.

At this time, Li Mo followed the fire gathering method of the puppet making technique, completely penetrated the fire temperature into the sphere, and directly applied it to the inner dan.

The inner pill gradually melted, turning into countless veins that penetrated everywhere in the liquid ball.

This is the third difficulty of puppetry: vein-turning.

The one who transforms the veins is to refine the inner pill into the shape of countless meridians and blood vessels, and merge them with the entire liquid ball.

The meridians are completely composed of meridians that simulate the human heart, so they are quite delicate projects, and each vein must have enough strength and toughness, all of which are indispensable.

Only by coexisting with the two can the puppet withstand the continuous release of the true qi in battle, and not lose its combat power due to the rupture of blood vessels and meridians.

Striking the right balance between the two requires a great deal of skill.

When the liquid ball solidifies, it finally turns into a heart.

"It really failed......

Li Mo took out the things in the ding, looked at it, frowned slightly, and recalled.

He didn't expect to succeed in refining as soon as he made a move, but if one of the three methods failed, his heart sank.

He recalled the refining process, and there should be no mistakes.

However, in the end, it is the first time to get involved in puppet making, and I am not completely sure if there is anything missing.

The only thing that is certain is that the refining has failed, and now the puppet heart in his hand is as intact as a heart, but it is a dead thing.

According to the information recorded, once the real puppet heart is refined, it is like a living thing, which can beat thumping, and during this time, the true qi flows along the meridians and naturally overflows.

As soon as it enters the puppet body, its meridians will automatically connect together, infuse it with true qi, and give it the characteristics of life.

Li Mo took out a booklet, recorded the refining process of the eleventh formula in detail on it, and then wrote the conclusion of the first refining failure.

Then, he began refining the twelfth formula.

For Li Mo, although the method of refining puppets and the casting technique were very different, it would not cause much obstacle to him.

As soon as the spiritual aperture was opened, his eyebrow chakra entered the realm of one vein, and his understanding was even higher, and he knew the principle of the universal law.

In the wee hours of the morning, the second puppet heart was refined, but it was still a dead thing.

This time, Li Mo still strictly followed the refining process, but whether it was a flaw in refining or a problem with the formula could not be determined.

Then, he began refining the thirteenth formula.

This time, he was still attentive, after all, he had been refining twice in a row, and he also had more experience in the method of transporting fire.

It took another half a day, and it wasn't until the afternoon that the puppet heart came out.

The fist-sized red heart lay quietly in the ding, like a dead thing.

"It's tricky......"

Li Mo frowned and muttered.

If all three formulas fail, and it is likely that the formula itself cannot replace the soul heart ore, then the qiē is back to square one.

To experiment with a new formula, I don't know how much energy it will take, and at this moment, he has to cultivate diligently to improve his cultivation and strive to kill the Demon Heart Stone Spirit next time, he can't spare time.

Bang - just then, suddenly the puppet's heart jumped.

Li Mo suddenly perked up, stood up suddenly, and stared at the puppet heart with wide eyes.

Although the puppet's heart only skipped a beat and then fell silent, it gave him a boost of confidence.

There is a door!

Li Mo punched his fist, and then began the refining of the thirteenth formula for the second time.

Once, twice, three times - three times in a row, and the result is the same, the puppet's heart only beats for a moment and then there is no sound.

"It seems that the general direction of the recipe should be correct, but there is something missing to keep it beating. ”

Li Mo said to himself, and then closed his eyes and thought.

The various formulas that had failed before and the thirteenth formula came to mind, and the various complicated materials in each formula, the use of each material, and the combined effect were presented one by one.

One by one, one by one, one by one, a spider's web unfolded in the sea of consciousness.

Gradually, Li Mo entered into a mysterious feeling, and these materials seemed to faintly capture the consciousness of the researcher.

From capture, to gradual in-depth understanding, and finally to connect with the researcher's consciousness.

Reading between the lines, it was originally the painstaking work of the researcher, and only those who study deeply in this way can feel the consciousness attached to it.

At this moment, Li Mo seemed to be integrated with the researcher, and even witnessed the process of the researcher's continuous experiments.

In the depths of consciousness, a door appeared in the underworld, far, far, and close.

He kept wandering between his consciousness and the gate, and he didn't know how long it took for him to finally stand in front of the gate.

As he slammed the door open, a light flashed through the web.

Li Mo's eyes widened, and he suddenly had an epiphany.

I see!

The most important purpose of making a puppet heart from soul heart ore is not to simulate the beating of the heart, but because of its special material, it can generate true qi through a beating method similar to guò, so that the puppet can obtain a steady stream of true qi.

Therefore, the Xuan Master only needs to manipulate his consciousness to allow the puppet to exert its combat power.

The purpose of making a puppet heart from other materials is the same thing, trying to reproduce the structure of the soul heart ore through guò, so as to generate a steady stream of true qi.

However, no matter how the materials used by the researchers, they could not reach this point.

If you follow the researcher's approach, it's a dead end.

In other words, even if it is possible, it will take a long time to study.

And Li Mo suddenly realized his own special method, that is, to use the incompatibility and conflict between water and fire to achieve the purpose of making the puppet's heart generate energy.

Researchers are clearly following the path of a single property, and all materials are single properties.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Mo made drastic improvements to the formula, replacing the key materials with fire attributes, and adding a large number of water attribute materials, and then stuffed them into the Shadow Wind Ding to start refining.

This time, the core of the material was no longer an inner pill, but a fire attribute inner pill and a water attribute inner pill.

The two Inner Pills slowly rotated at the temperature of the two systems of Earth Fire, but it was not easy to achieve the same balance effect as the two Inner Pills under the complex material.

Coupled with the improvement of various materials, things are even more complicated.

Fail!

Fail!

Fail!

But Li Mo's confidence has not been shaken in the slightest, and he firmly believes in the direction of his research.

The effort paid off, and after thirty-seven failures in a row, and it took him seven days to finally master the knack of balancing two Inner Pills with different attributes in the material.

The thirty-eighth refining was finally successful, and a thumping puppet heart appeared in the ding.

At the moment, the internal water and fire of the puppet heart rotated, and the impact force between them continuously released the power of the material.

"Finally it worked!"

Li Mo let out a long breath, and he was relaxed.

The next step is to refine the puppet body, which is much simpler.

Generally, there are two methods, one is to directly transform with the corpses of ordinary brute beasts or even humans, but a special refining process is required to make them exert their corresponding combat power.

The second is to build a skeleton with all kinds of ores, supplemented by brute beast materials to cast into a physical body, refining meridians like humans, so that true qi can travel freely in the body.

And when the puppet technique reaches the advanced realm, it can be pinched and taken from the stone, and it can be made into a body in a moment, just like the demon heart stone spirit was refining the stone as a doppelganger, of course, it is simple to say that there are many difficulties.

But naturally, this is not much of a problem for Li Mo, what is lacking is nothing more than proficiency.

Li Mo took the simplest method, using a brute beast corpse as a material, and it took half an hour to refine a six-foot-tall flesh body.

Because they are all made of brute beast materials, the puppets they refine are also rough-skinned, not like ordinary humans, but more like orcs.
