Chapter 698 (1/2)
In a cave on the mountain behind Yunbi peak, Shen Ruiling sat quietly on the Pu mat in the cultivation room, his eyes closed, like a motionless statue.
In his hand, he was holding the blue jade slip recording the mysterious puppet secret, and his divine consciousness had been completely immersed in the mysterious puppet secret.
With the deepening of the research on this puppet secret art, Shen Ruiling has a new understanding of puppet art, which is a rare skill in the cultivation of immortals in Lingnan. At the same time, he is more and more aware of the real value of this puppet secret art.
Strictly speaking, puppetry is only a branch of the art of refining utensils. It depends on the development of the art of refining utensils, but it is very different from the traditional art of refining utensils.
Shen Ruiling's puppet secret art contains two parts: one is the refining of the puppet, and the other is the method of controlling the puppet.
The former requires friars to have a certain foundation of refining tools, and then learn specific puppet refining skills, so that they can refine puppet animals in different forms.
The cultivation of the latter requires the monk to have a strong spiritual force and be able to attach his divine consciousness to the puppet, so that he can further control the puppet refined.
According to this puppet secret art, the power of puppet art not only focuses on the strength of a single puppet, but also on the cooperative attack between multiple puppets.
For example, a puppet with the strength of the golden elixir period is indeed powerful, but in the face of ten or even hundreds of puppets in the foundation period, the latter is still more powerful.
When Shen Ruiling saw this, he couldn't help but look shocked. Obviously, he was deeply shocked by the use of such a puppet.
If you can really control hundreds of puppets in the foundation period at once, even if you meet the golden elixir immortal, the latter will probably choose to retreat.
Therefore, it is not difficult to see from this place that the real core of the puppet secret art lies in the method of controlling the puppet. As for the refining of the puppet in the first half, it is not so important.
Of course, for Shen Ruiling, who has just begun to contact puppet secrets, it is obvious that he still needs to learn from the most basic puppet refining method.
The puppet's refining skill is naturally inseparable from the craft of refining utensils. If it had been put in the past, Shen Ruiling might have to learn the craft of refining utensils from scratch.
However, after a test on the inheritance Island, his level of refining tools can be said to have been introduced. Even refining some second-order magic tools is not a problem.
I don't know how long it took, Shen Ruiling, who was sitting quietly, moved slightly, his closed eyes slowly opened, and a bright light flashed in his deep eyes.
As his mind moved, a large number of refining materials appeared in front of him out of thin air, but the quality of these materials was not very good, they were all first-order and second-order low-order materials.
After all, Shen Ruiling just started to contact puppetry. Naturally, he first refined the lowest level of hand training. Even if he failed, he wasted only these low-level materials and would not have any heartache.
But if you directly use third-order spiritual materials to refine third-order puppets, if you fail, you will lose a lot.
A red flame suddenly appeared in Shen Ruiling's palm, wrapped a large piece of [refined iron] and began to quench the impurities and change its shape.
After about a incense burning time, a black puppet embryo was refined, and he continued to refine the puppet's limbs and head.
For the limbs of this puppet, Shen Ruiling chose the claws of two pairs of second-order inferior monsters. After quenching the four claws, he appropriately added some metal spiritual materials to enhance its hardness.
......
In this way, after a busy day, a puppet beast like a dog appeared in the cave.
Looking at the four unlike mechanism puppet beast in front of him, Shen Ruiling nodded slightly. It seemed that she was very satisfied with the fruits of her day's work.
However, at present, the puppet is only a defective product and lacks the last step.
After a rest, Shen Ruiling took out a dark green jade bottle from the storage bag, and immediately pinched out a mysterious formula to slowly pull out the things in the jade bottle.
Under the control of his spiritual power, a light mass emitting a weak light slowly floated out of the jade bottle, and then slowly floated to the dog puppet beast.
At this time, Shen Ruiling pinched out several mysterious Dharma formulas with both hands on his chest again, and the faint light regiment directly penetrated into the puppet beast.
For a moment, the dull puppet beast, which was originally like a dead object, suddenly burst out a soft light, as if endowed with some kind of spirituality.
After studying the refining process of puppets, Shen Ruiling found that if he wanted to refine puppets, he not only needed some materials commonly used to refine magic tools, but also needed to integrate the spirit of monsters and spiritual materials, so as to endow the puppets with a certain spirit.
This step is called soul melting.
Only after this last step can a puppet be refined. Otherwise, the refined puppet is just a dead thing, which is not much different from an ordinary doll statue.
When Shen Ruiling saw that the puppet mechanism beast in front of her was successfully endowed with spirituality, a faint color of excitement could not help but appear on her cold face.
Melting the soul is the most critical step in the process of refining the puppet beast, and it is also a very difficult step to master. However, I didn't expect him to succeed for the first time. It seems that he still has some talents in puppet art.
However, it's normal to think about it carefully. After all, the main test of this step is the monk's ability to control the power of the divine soul, which is not difficult for Shen Ruiling.
His spiritual power has reached the peak level of foundation building, because he has cultivated the Dayan divine dream manual, and his control over the power of divine knowledge is much higher than ordinary people.
The object of his soul melting point this time is just the soul of a second-order monster captured by [soul eating tarantula] from the back mountain.
As for how he pulled out the spirits that had not yet dispersed from the dead monster, it would involve several secret arts and powers in the puppet secret arts.
What is used here is a magic skill called ”soul pulling skill”. The caster can pull out the souls that have not been dispersed in the future from the dead body.
Although this divine soul secret skill looks very strange, in fact, the value of the real practical fighting method is pitifully low, or even none.
