Chapter 162: Sky Demon Puppet

After cursing himself for being so naive, Xiao Ming stopped muttering to himself and turned his attention to the options.

[Available options: Thunder Attribute Dou Qi Talent, Poison Pill Method, Sky Demon Puppet Refinement Method].

Of these three options, the Thunder Attribute Talent was the rarest of the three, but, to him, it was a bit unnecessary.

Like now that he was able to control the Spirit and use the Ice Dou Qi after the Spirit had swallowed the 10,000-year Ice Cold Marrow of Attribute Ice.

Devouring a Heaven and Earth Wonder with a thunder attribute could also allow him to possess a thunder attribute.

Even if he had Dou Qi of Ice Attribute, Xiao Ming rarely used it.

The main reason was that his abilities were mainly focused on fire.

It was already very difficult for him to master the art of fire, plus he had to study Alchemy, so he had no time to dedicate to other attributes.

If one day he needed Dou Qi of thunder attribute, Xiao Ming could simply find a Heaven and Earth Wonder and devour it.

Other than that, after hundreds of simulations, he met one of the places where a Heaven and Earth spiritual creature with thunder attribute was located.

Because his Qi Method was enhanced by devouring wonders of heaven and earth, it was natural for them to appear in the simulations.

Of course, these were not his main reasons, the main reason was that he did not know if the sudden addition of the thunder attribute to his body would have an impact on his Alchemy.

Disregarding the Dou Qi of thunder attribute, Xiao Ming looked at the Poison Pill Method and the Sky Demon Puppet Refinement Method.

"In a few days, that Han Feng will hand me the Poison Pill Method, so there is nothing to think about between these two, Simulator, I choose the Sky Demon Puppet Refinement Method."

After speaking, an unusual rolled bamboo leaf appeared in front of him.

The bamboo leaf was a grayish-brown color that looked very ordinary.

As soon as the rolled bamboo leaf appeared, it fell into Xiao Ming's palm.

Sitting slightly upright in the warm hot spring, Xiao Ming uncovered the thin thread of the bamboo leaf and slowly stretched it out.

Then, three large, blood-red words, exuding cruelty, appeared under the scanning of his gaze, causing his heart to violently leap.

'Sky Demon Puppet'.

Slowly extending the bamboo leaf fully, the thin, blood-red letters contained in the bamboo leaf were exposed before his eyes.

'This Sky Demon Puppet is a good thing, as long as there are enough materials, I can refine a lot of strong guards, however, none of these materials are easy to find.'

'However, a Dou Ancestor level body, that's something that should be available soon'.'

Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed and he no longer continued to look at the specific method of refining the Demon Sky Puppet, but directly threw it into his storage ring.

After continuing to be comfortably submerged for a while longer, Xiao Ming came out from inside the hot spring, put on his clothes, and headed down the mountain.

Xiao Ming walked very slowly as he made his way to his backyard.

On his way back to his small courtyard, Xiao Ming passed several courtyards, one of which was Xiao Yan's courtyard.

Xiao Ming was passing through Xiao Yan's courtyard when he saw a figure standing furtively at the entrance.

And at that moment, that figure happened to turn his head and saw Xiao Ming, and instantly, that figure froze in place.

Looking at the figure, Xiao Ming said indifferently, "Cousin Xiao Yan, are you going out at this hour, or did you just come back?"

"Cough cough, this... so it's the Supreme Elder, I just came back from cultivating on the back mountain." Xiao Yan somehow remembered that when he was a child, there was a time when Xiao Ming had also bumped into him in the middle of the night.

Thinking about that time he had been caught by Xiao Ming, Xiao Yan spoke with a slightly embarrassed expression and could not help but mutter to himself.

'He shouldn't think I'm still the same as I was that time, should he? After all these years, he should have forgotten about it a long time ago'.

Xiao Ming glanced at Xiao Yan's clothes and found that they were somewhat thick and heavy, and really looked like he had just finished exercising. He nodded calmly and inwardly had to say that Xiao Yan had really worked hard on his cultivation after experiencing the 'care' given by the Xiao family members...

"Cousin Xiao Yan is very diligent, no wonder your strength has been progressing so fast lately, remember to rest well."

After saying this, Xiao Ming casually looked at the storage ring in his hand before leaving.

Xiao Ming's action made Xiao Yan startled, and after Xiao Ming's back disappeared from his gaze, he immediately pushed the door and returned to his room.

Sitting on top of the bed, he asked, somewhat suspiciously to Yao Lao in the storage ring, "Did Xiao Ming just find out about your presence, Master?"

An old voice echoed from inside the Bone Flame Ring.

"Well, you can't say that, he had actually discovered my existence a long time ago."

"What!" Xiao Yan was sharply startled at his words, "A long time ago? Wouldn't that mean that he already knew the reason why my Dou Qi had disappeared and deliberately concealed the situation so that I could continue to enjoy being a waste?"

"Oh, not so soon, although his soul power is very powerful. But I have the Bone Flame Ring, so with my intention to hide, he didn't find anything that time he examined your body."

"The first time he found me was when you had your marriage annulled." Yao Lao said confidently.

Hearing these words, the trace of hostility that had just arisen in Xiao Yan's heart slowly disappeared.

If it really was as Yao Lao had said, then it had not been a deliberate intention, and it was him using a villain's heart to measure a horse's belly. (TL: Using despicable thoughts to speculate on a decent person's mind).

Moreover, Xiao Ming had no grudge or hatred for him, so it did not seem that he had no reason to do such a thing to him.

'However, Xiao Ming was actually able to discover my mysterious and unpredictable Master, a sixth-tier Alchemist is so terrifying!'

Xiao Yan suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, 'Master, now that Xiao Ming knows about your existence, will it cause any trouble? After all, now you..."

"Alas, what are you afraid of? I see that Xiao Ming has good character and the demeanor of a great man, you don't have to worry about him finding me out. Besides, your realm is progressing so fast and he ignores me, so I guess he knows I'm helping you."

"That's also true..."

Xiao Ming, who had left, didn't know that his casual actions had made Xiao Yan suspicious for a while.

Returning to his room, he quickly sat down on his bed and began to cultivate.
