Chapter 204 Spirit Puppet Technique

At the same time, Pinger couldn't help but ponder in her heart.

Could she be as cautious as He Song.

After thinking about it.

Pinger shook her head.

She felt that she was still a hundred thousand miles away from He Song.

But Pinger wasn't discouraged. She just felt even more that she needed to seriously learn from He Song's cautiousness.

Otherwise.

She was afraid that she would be acting as the guardian of the immortal market and suddenly be backstabbed by her subordinates.

That would be a huge joke.

If what He Song experienced this time happened to her, she probably wouldn't even notice, right.

With this thought flashing through her mind, Pinger also spoke.

"So that's how it is. Senior Brother is truly a prophet. If it were Pinger, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known what to do, and I wouldn't even have been able to detect this person's abnormality."

"It seems that Pinger still has a lot to learn in the future."

"After I finish learning the Breath Concealment Technique and the Earth Traveling Art, I will definitely learn the Soul Searching Technique."

He Song didn't know what Pinger was thinking.

Why she could come up with the idea of learning the Soul Searching Technique from this matter.

He also didn't know that Pinger had already developed a strong interest in his cautiousness.

After hearing Pinger's words, He Song just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Now.

He had clearly informed the two of them about this matter.

Next.

After the two of them washed away the dust, they would probably continue on their way to Jade Balance Immortal City, right.

After the two of them left.

He could safely cultivate the "Spirit Puppet Technique" he had just obtained.

He just didn't know.

What methods of refining puppets were recorded in this "Spirit Puppet Technique".

He Song was thinking about the "Spirit Puppet Technique."

But he didn't neglect Pinger and Chu Shuangshuang.

After arranging accommodations for the two, he took them out of his mansion and started to wander around Hundred Herb Immortal Market as wandering cultivators.

Hundred Herb Immortal Market.

As the name suggests.

Named after a certain spirit herb.

At first, He Song and the others did not know the name of this spirit herb.

Until.

The three of them discovered several spirit herbs with Yin and baleful Qi in the stall area of Hundred Herb Immortal Market.

After inquiring, they learned the origin of the name Hundred Herb Immortal Market.

This spirit herb was called Yin Soul Grass. After planting, it could continuously gather Yin Qi and form a ball of Yin and baleful Qi inside the spirit herb.

This Yin and baleful Qi had great uses for demonic cultivators, the magical artifacts used by demonic cultivators, and the various things used by demonic cultivators.

For demonic cultivators.

Yin Soul Grass, like spiritual rice, was an indispensable item in their cultivation.

Spiritual rice could make their cultivation speed faster.

And Yin Soul Grass could bring a considerable improvement to their magical artifacts, other consumables, and even their cultivation.

Yin and baleful Qi could be absorbed and refined into one's own cultivation.

It could also be integrated into magical artifacts to enhance their power.

Integrating it into other consumables could also increase their power.

It can be said.

Yin Soul Grass was a complete hard currency among demonic cultivators.

Hundred Herb Immortal Market was not called Hundred Herb Immortal Market before.

It was called Hundred Ghosts Immortal Market.

Its name was naturally derived from Yin Soul Grass.

When He Song looked at Hundred Herb Immortal Market from a distance, the fields of medicinal herbs he saw were mostly Yin Soul Grass.

Naturally, Pinger and Chu Shuangshuang were also greatly surprised.

Even He Song.

When he first learned about this Yin Soul Grass, he couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise in his heart.

He had been active in the territory of the Earth Sect for decades.

But he had never heard of a spirit herb like Yin Soul Grass.

Presumably.

It should be because Yin Soul Grass did not have much effect on ordinary cultivators.

The effects of Yin Soul Grass were mostly aimed at demonic cultivators, and it was normal that it almost did not exist within the territory of the Earth Sect.

However, now that the territory of the Seven Stars Sect had been completely taken over by the Earth Sect.

The various demonic cultivation techniques and resources within the original territory of the Seven Stars Sect would probably be replaced with resources needed by righteous cultivators.

This Yin Soul Grass would probably also disappear from Hundred Herb Immortal Market in the future.

In the future, Hundred Herb Immortal Market would probably become an immortal market specifically used to produce spirit medicines.

After leading Pinger and Chu Shuangshuang around Hundred Herb Immortal Market.

The two also bid farewell to He Song.

He Song did not try to keep them.

After seeing the two of them leave the immortal market.

He Song also quickly returned to the mansion at the center of the immortal market and began to prepare for his upcoming secluded cultivation.

As the guardian True Person of Hundred Herb Immortal Market.

He Song had actually understood the responsibilities of a guardian True Person a long time ago.

After becoming the guardian True Person of an immortal market, guarding the immortal market and protecting the immortal market from attacks by rogue cultivators was the most important thing a guardian True Person needed to do.

As for other things, such as managing the immortal market's taxes and managing the various departments of the immortal market.

Basically, these could be thrown to subordinates to do.

The people from the immortal city would specifically interface with the general manager of the immortal market, and even assist the general manager of the immortal market in managing the entire immortal market.

And the guardian True Person of the immortal market.

In addition to providing force protection, if he really didn't want to manage other things, he really could directly ignore them.

Therefore.

Under the premise of already knowing the responsibilities of the guardian True Person of the immortal market.

He Song directly appointed an immortal market general manager to manage the entire immortal market.

As for himself.

Of course, he would go into secluded cultivation and make his strength stronger and stronger.

Back in the mansion.

He Song waved his hand.

A formation plate and five formation flags appeared in front of He Song.

The formation plate and formation flags floated quietly, as if they were being held up by invisible hands.

These were the formation plate and formation flags needed to set up the Minor Spirit Gathering Formation.

As He Song's mind moved, his divine sense extended.

The formation plate and formation flags in front of him immediately turned into streams of light and fell into the bottom of the mansion.

Thus, He Song formed hand seals and cast spells, and a Minor Spirit Gathering Formation was immediately set up by He Song.

After setting up a Minor Spirit Gathering Formation in the mansion to increase the concentration of spiritual energy here.

He Song waved his hand again.

Another formation plate and six formation flags appeared in front of him.

This set of formation plate and formation flags was the formation plate and formation flags needed to set up the Mist Veil Formation.

Although he was in the immortal market he was guarding, and he didn't need to worry about his secrets being spied on, and he didn't need to worry about someone rashly breaking into his mansion.

But He Song still maintained complete cautiousness

The spiritual energy gathered by the Minor Spirit Gathering Formation would definitely be much denser than the spiritual energy around him.

Ordinary mortals might not be able to sense it.

But cultivators, as cultivators, would naturally be able to sense it.

If someone discovered the secret of his mansion, He Song would probably have to take action first and erase that person who discovered this secret from the world.

Otherwise, that person might use this matter as a conversation starter and tell others.

If this caused some consequences, it would definitely be something He Song did not want to see.

In order to reduce the number of lives in his hands, and to prevent things from becoming too troublesome, He Song felt that it was better to set up a Mist Veil Formation to hide the concentration of spiritual energy here.

Moreover, after the Mist Veil Formation was set up, he could be more at ease when he was in secluded cultivation.

When the Seven Kill Skyfire Array was set up in the mansion later, the safety of cultivating in seclusion here would naturally be greatly increased.

With a thought.

The formation plate and formation flags used to set up the Mist Veil Formation in front of He Song immediately turned into streams of light and flew towards various parts of the mansion.

When the formation plate and formation flags were all in place, the hand seals and spells formed by He Song also changed.

Quickly.

An invisible barrier immediately enveloped He Song's entire mansion.

Seeing this scene.

He Song casually sprinkled densely packed spirit stones to replenish enough spirit stones for the Mist Veil Formation and the Minor Spirit Gathering Formation, and then directly entered the mansion.

The Minor Spirit Gathering Formation increased the concentration of spiritual energy in the mansion.

He Song walked into a quiet room in the mansion.

Sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

All the memories about the "Spirit Puppet Technique" immediately flashed through his mind.

Spirit Puppet Technique.

Named after spirit puppets, the puppets that could be produced would naturally be quite spirited.

He Song carefully read the introduction to the Spirit Puppet Technique and the various puppet-making methods recorded on it.

He also had some understanding of this newly acquired Spirit Puppet Technique.

In the Spirit Puppet Technique.

Several puppet-making methods were recorded.

The first was the method of refining cultivators into spirit puppets, like True Person Condensing Yin.

The second was to use various hard materials and other precious materials to refine strange-shaped puppets.

The third was to use various hard materials, which could be fused and turned into humanoid puppets.

The fourth was to refine beasts into spirit puppets.

In addition to the puppet-making methods.

There were also methods for controlling puppets, and some methods that could temporarily increase the combat power of puppets.

However.

The various methods recorded in the Spirit Puppet Technique were at most at the Foundation Establishment stage.

As for the puppet refining above the Foundation Establishment stage, there was no record at all.

After He Song read all these methods, he gradually had an idea of this Spirit Puppet Technique.

"This Spirit Puppet Technique should be the secret technique that True Person Condensing Yin relied on for his fame."

"But making Foundation Establishment puppets requires the corpses of Foundation Establishment cultivators or other precious materials."

"Precious materials are hard to find, and Foundation Establishment corpses are also hard to find. Even if I learn it, I'm afraid I won't be able to make them in a short time."

"I should first learn the methods for manipulating puppets in the Spirit Puppet Technique, release the puppets in my storage pouch, and then learn other things."

"It's also a waste to keep these puppets in my storage pouch."

"I might as well take them out and make use of them."

After making a decision, He Song quickly closed his eyes and began to study the various methods for manipulating puppets in the Spirit Puppet Technique.

The puppet control methods recorded in the Spirit Puppet Technique were not simple.

But it was precisely because of this that the effect of the puppet control methods in the Spirit Puppet Technique was surprisingly good.

As He Song learned, he quickly understood.

Why Cheng Yan, who was at the seventh level of Qi Condensation, could control nearly ten late-Qi Condensation puppets, was that he got randomly soul-searched.

Cheng Yan's master left him nearly seven late-Qi Condensation puppets.

Logically speaking.

A cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Condensation would have no pressure to control one or two late-Qi Condensation puppets.

But if he controlled too many puppets, it would consume a lot of mental energy, and the control of the puppets would also become uncoordinated.

Therefore, most cultivators who controlled puppets in battle would generally only control one or two puppets to fight.

Instead of like Cheng Yan, directly controlling seven puppets.

That would be too mentally draining, and the control of the puppets would also become uncoordinated. The disadvantages outweighed the advantages.

But after using the puppet control methods recorded in the Spirit Puppet Technique, this drawback would be greatly reduced.

The puppet control methods recorded in the Spirit Puppet Technique.

Could directly issue instructions at the core of the puppet, and the instructions at the core would be completed by the puppet itself.

In this way, the puppet controller only needed to move his mind, and the puppet would be able to make the movements he wanted.

Even in battle, it would allow more puppets to come on stage and help.

This was also the reason why the Spirit Puppet Technique was named the Spirit Puppet Technique.

The puppets refined by the Spirit Puppet Technique contained a trace of spirituality in their core.

With the manipulation of the puppet control methods, the puppets refined by the Spirit Puppet Technique would be more spirited than the puppets refined by other methods.

He Song had not yet learned the specific puppet refining methods, so he did not know what was hidden in the puppet refining methods that could make the puppets refined by the Spirit Puppet Technique more spiritual than other puppets.

But even so, He Song was still amazed by the puppet control techniques in the Spirit Puppet Technique.

As He Song became more and more proficient in the puppet control techniques in the Spirit Puppet Technique, and studied them more and more thoroughly.

Time.

Also began to flow slowly at this moment.

In the blink of an eye.

He Song spent a full month in the mansion at the center of Hundred Herb Immortal Market.

During this month, apart from cultivating, He Song spent most of his time immersed in the study of the puppet control techniques in the Spirit Puppet Technique.

To this day.

A month passed.

He Song's practice of the puppet control techniques in the Spirit Puppet Technique had basically become proficient.

At this time, He Song could already release the puppets in his storage pouch and use the puppet control techniques to control them to make many movements.

However, just as He Song was practicing the puppet control techniques in his mansion.

Outside.

A figure carefully came outside He Song's mansion.

This person was named Fang Yu.

A month ago, he was just appointed by He Song as the general manager of Hundred Herb Immortal Market, managing the entire immortal market for He Song.

During this month, Fang Yu's every move was quite proper.

At least when He Song occasionally extended his divine sense to eavesdrop on his conversations with others, he did not find any mistakes.

Thus, He Song was relatively at ease with him, just occasionally extending his divine sense to keep track of his recent movements.

Today, Fang Yu came outside He Song's mansion.

It was also because He Song had instructed him a month ago that he needed to come to He Song's place to report once a month.

But.

Just as Fang Yu carefully came outside He Song's mansion and was hesitating whether to knock on the door.

With a creak, the gate of He Song's mansion suddenly opened at this moment.

The gate of the mansion opened, and a person walked out.

"Master has ordered, come again next month."

As a cold voice came, Fang Yu's gaze also looked in the direction of the voice.

This look.

A layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Fang Yu's back.

How did this person look so much like one of the late-Qi Condensation cultivators among those cultivators who suddenly fell to the ground a month ago.

Wasn't he dead.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for He Song to casually put him in his storage pouch.

But.

How did this person suddenly appear in front of him, and, he walked out of He Song's mansion and spoke to him.

For a time, Fang Yu only felt that his mind was full of doubts.

He wanted to ask, but looking at the other party's indifferent expression, he opened his mouth, but in the end, he still did not ask his doubts.

"Yes, your subordinate will take his leave."

In the world of cultivation, there were many strange and bizarre techniques, spells, and things.

Although this person in front of him seemed to have died once, Fang Yu was only shocked in his heart when he first saw him.

Then, Fang Yu's heart was only left with doubts.

With this doubt.

After taking his leave, Fang Yu quickly left the entrance of He Song's mansion.

But in his heart.

Fang Yu had already begun to think about the ins and outs of this matter.

A deceased person.

Suddenly reappeared.

It was hard not to make people think of something.

Fang Yu quickly thought of the previous guardian True Person of Hundred Herb Immortal Market.

True Person Condensing Yin.

True Person Condensing Yin was famous for his puppet techniques. His puppets were lifelike and quite famous in the surrounding immortal markets.

If this scene in front of him could be explained by puppet techniques.

Then, where did He Song learn the puppet techniques.

Or rather, was the Foundation Establishment True Person in the mansion still that True Person Condensing Yin.

Then where did the previous True Person Evergreen Pine, who appointed him as the general manager of the immortal market, go.

Could it be...

The speculation in his mind gradually became bold, and Fang Yu only felt that the cold sweat on his back gradually increased.

After thinking for a long time, Fang Yu hurried back to his residence.

Inside the mansion.

He Song did not know that Fang Yu was even questioning whether he was dead or not.

If he knew what Fang Yu was thinking.

He would probably come out of seclusion directly and strip Fang Yu of his position as general manager.

To vent the hatred in his heart.

After seeing Fang Yu leave, He Song also controlled the puppet at the gate of the mansion to close the gate and returned to the mansion.

And inside He Song's mansion.

In order to become proficient in the puppet control methods in the Spirit Puppet Technique faster, He Song had already released all seven puppets in his storage pouch, all of which were controlled by him to move around in the mansion.

In this way.

With seven-minded use, He Song could quickly become proficient in the puppet control methods.

It would also be very beneficial for manipulating the spirit puppets he refined in the future to fight.

But.

Even with the puppet control methods in the Spirit Puppet Technique, He Song still felt some strain when he was seven-minded and distracted by controlling the puppets.

He could do everything meticulously when controlling so many puppets at ordinary times.

But in battle, if he had to distract himself to control so many puppets, he would probably be powerless.

According to He Song's estimate.

After he became proficient in the puppet control techniques, at most, he would only be able to control three or four puppets in battle.

Only about twice the number of puppets than ordinary puppet control methods.

Ordinary puppet control methods could only control one or two puppets to fight.

The puppet control methods in the Spirit Puppet Technique could control three or four puppets to fight.
