Chapter 791: New Cave Abode

orge, the young man with a dark complexion named Ji Ying asked. 。"It probably won't be much use. Old Master Lu is still considered a guest elder of our Yuentang, but Zhu Qi has nothing to do with Yuen...With the status of a mid-level alchemist, things in Danwang City became much easier. After all, Xiao Yun had lived in Danwang City for quite some time and was relatively familiar with everything inside the city. He bought a map scroll from the city guards, which marked uninhabited cave dwellings within the city.

After that, Xiao Yun directly brought Lu Xiaitian to the north of Danwang City. Several people flew with swords, traveling through a continuous range of mountains shrouded in clouds and mist.

After a long while, they arrived at an independent mountain peak. On the peak, over ten cranes of various sizes stood on the towering pines perched precariously on the cliff. Seeing Lu Xia Tian and the others, they all fluttered up in surprise. These spirit birds had already been domesticated and released into the territory of Dan Wang City. They would not attack passing cultivators.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

The entire Danwang City, besides the extremely rich spiritual energy, also had a faint scent of elixir. When cultivators smelled it, they felt even more refreshed and clear-headed.

"This will do." Lu Xiaoteng stopped in front of the cave dwelling. There was also a quaint courtyard in front of the cave dwelling, and the entrance to the cave dwelling had several ancient stone carvings reading "Qingyun Pavilion."

Lu Xia Tian injected a strand of divine consciousness into the map, and the map that showed an uninhabited cave abode changed its state.

"You two, stay in this small courtyard. There are some things inside, help me collect them, the more the better. Don't say anything if anyone asks. Also, handle some monster materials for me. Convert them into spirit stones, or whatever spiritual items I need. By the way, find out some information about Jindan-level puppets for me."

Lu Xiaoteng threw several storage bags to Xiao Heilong. Inside were a large amount of spirit stones and a lot of demon beast materials, all slain beasts from the Miaomiao Hall. The rest were dozens of golden elixir-level demon pythons killed in the extreme island cave dwelling.

"Yes, senior!" Xiao Heilong took the storage bag and casually used his divine sense to glance inside. He shuddered all of a sudden, almost dropping the storage bag. As for Xiao Yun's reaction, it was more normal. Although she looked shocked, she didn't lose her composure too much.

"That's all for now. Besides attending to my tasks, you can arrange your own time. If anything comes up, contact me directly through a sound transmission talisman."

Lu Xiaitian wasn't worried that the Xiao siblings would leave the city on their own. The two were now registered as his attendants in Danwang City. Without his permission, they couldn't leave Danwang City.

After exchanging a few words, Lu Xia Tian's figure flashed and he disappeared into the cave. Xiao Hei Bao and his sister only felt a flash before their eyes and Lu Xia Tian was gone.

"Brother, what's inside these storage bags you're holding" Xiao Yun was very curious. With your Big Brother's strength of character, he wouldn't be so surprised unless it was something extraordinary.

"You see for yourself." Xiao Hei Pao's hands trembled slightly, forcing himself to calm down before he could recover.

"Oh! Xiao Yun covered her mouth, her face filled with astonishment. Inside, there were the skeletons of all golden core level monsters. From seventh to ninth rank."

Even in death, the aura emanating from these demonic beasts still sent shivers down the spines of these siblings who were only at the Qi Refining stage. Especially since a significant portion of the demonic beasts had sustained little to no injury, with many having been killed instantly.

Although the two siblings were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, they had previously formed teams with acquaintances to go out to sea and hunt demon beasts in order to accumulate medicinal herbs and spirit stones for their cultivation. Often, even demon beasts of the same level required several people to work together to avoid heavy casualties. It took a lot of fighting before they could be killed.

Most of the hunted monsters had already been severely damaged. To be on the safe side, adventuring monk teams rarely chose monsters whose realm exceeded their own. After all, the risk was too great, and if there were casualties, it would often be a loss. On one trip to sea, each person could get one or several monster materials.

Thinking back to those days, the two siblings naturally knew the hardships of hunting demonic beasts. But in front of them, the storage bag given by Lu Xia Tian contained all sorts of demonic beasts, adding up to probably no less than a hundred.

It's truly hard to imagine just how powerful this mysterious Golden Core senior expert is. Especially those dozens of green pythons, they might have even wiped out an entire python nest single-handedly.

"It seems this senior is truly a masterful figure, even among cultivators in the late Golden Core stage, he is the strongest. Big brother, we must do well with the task that the senior entrusted us with. With this senior's strength and wealth, it's highly possible he'll successfully ascend to the Nascent Soul stage, becoming the legendary Nascent Soul ancestor." Xiao Yun took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself down.

"I naturally know this. Being able to help such a powerful Golden Core cultivator is a chance for our siblings. Let's tidy up what we have and then act separately. I'll handle these demonic beast materials, and little sister, you're familiar with Dan Wang City, so go search for the spiritual items the senior needs." Xiao Black Leopard nodded.

The two siblings quickly got busy. Lu Xia Tian set up several restrictions at the entrance of the cave, preventing his aura from leaking out and also stopping other cultivators from using divine senses to probe inside.

This Qiong Yun Cave was quite large, with many stone chambers inside. There were also some used for raising spirit insects and spirit beasts. Lu Xia Tian pondered for a moment and released the broken realm worm and the little fire crow, throwing them a lot of beast spirit pills and insect spirit pills each, letting these two fellows busy themselves.

Lu Xiaitian took out the puppet scroll he had obtained from Xiao Heibao. He had only glanced at it briefly before, but now that he had some free time, he naturally wanted to study it in more detail.

"This clay puppet is truly a unique creation, ingenious and wondrous, capturing the essence of nature itself."

The more Lu Xia Tian studied this puppet formation, the more he felt that the person who created it was a genius. As everyone knows, there is a limit to the number of puppets a person can control, and the methods are nothing more than two.

One type is to directly control with one's primordial spirit. This kind of combat power is generally higher, but the strength of a cultivator's primordial spirit is limited. Like Lu Xia Tian, who possesses five primordial spirits, not to mention being unparalleled, at least Lu Xia Tian has traveled through several cultivation worlds and hasn't seen anyone else like him.

There's another way: collecting the primordial spirits of demon beasts and refining them with secret arts. This erases the demon beast's self-awareness, separating a portion of one's own divine consciousness to infuse it within. Afterward, the puppet is further refined. This method allows for many puppets to be controlled, but their overall combat power is limited in comparison. The higher the rank of the puppet, the less effective this method tends to be.

But the puppet scroll mentioned the puppet sub-formation array, which was a good solution to this problem. Many sub-arrays were refined and placed within the puppet body, and then a main array was refined. The sub-arrays and main array were combined.

Through the mother array, a puppet master only needs to split a portion of their divine consciousness to control a large number of puppets. While there is still a limit to this number, it is far more sophisticated than the current cultivation world's methods of controlling puppets.

What's even more bizarre is that within both the sub-array and the main array, one can place puppet stones. Using special spirit clay, they can refine puppet bodies. As long as the spiritual energy within the puppet stone hasn't been depleted, even if the puppet is shattered, and the formation remains intact, the clay golem can instantly recover again.ts that shot in different directions.“Where are you going!” The old man with bushy eyebrows shouted, as a guardian immortal, he was attacking his own comrade at this moment. Once the other party compl...
