243 The Unexpected Joy of Going Easy

Wenren Xin’s alchemy skills were average, and she only knew how to refine one type of Foundation Establishment stage elixir. However, it just so happened to be related to puppets. It was called the “Omniscient Spirit Transforming Elixir,” which was used to help the puppet master cultivate great divine power.

The great divine power was called “Omniscient Spirit Transformation!”

Its effect was to temporarily transform a spiritual item that was compatible with one’s spiritual root into a battle puppet after expending a large amount of inner energy!

On the other hand, Fang Qin’s elixir was more brilliant. It wasn’t a Core Formation stage elixir, but it was even more difficult to refine—the Six Alloy Elixir!

As for why he refined the elixir, it was naturally Fang Qin’s doing.

After all, Fang Jinyu’s reward for the top ten was the Six Alloy Elixir.

If one were to only consider the elixir and not other factors, there was no doubt that Fang Qin had won. Wenren Xin’s “Omniscient Spirit Transforming Elixir,” which was specially designed for the “test questions,” was completely incomparable to the Six Alloy Elixir. As for the elixirs refined by others, they were even inferior to Fang Qin’s.

However, Fang Jinyu was prepared to go easy this time, so Fang Qin, Wenren Xin, and Xiao Ahshui were tied for first place.

Fang Qin and Wenren Xin didn’t need to say much.

As for Xiao Ahshui, “he” was a male cultivator with an ordinary appearance. However, it was only her disguise because she was a beautiful woman.

Whether it was in terms of appearance or temperament, she was on par with Lin Xianer.

After realizing that Wenren Xin was “special,” how could Fang Jinyu dare miss out on such an unbelievably beautiful person?

Moreover, although the elixir that “Xiao Ahshui” refined was ordinary, the refining method was something that even Fang Jinyu’s eyes lit up when he saw it.

It was a very novel method that even never appeared in the upper realm’s “Cave Lake Realm.”

Other than being able to be consumed normally, the elixirs refined by Xiao Ahshui could also be used as a spirit tool. For example, “Xiao Ahshui” handed a Sword Transformation Elixir. It was originally a common elixir that could help one cultivate sword techniques. However, the elixir “Xiao Ahshui” refined could trigger weak sword energy!

The power of the sword energy was extremely small. Even those early-stage Qi Condensation cultivators might not be injured by it. However, it was only because “Xiao Ahshui’s” alchemy skills were too shallow.

If Fang Jinyu were to refine it, even if it was only a Foundation Establishment stage elixir, it could release sword energy that could harm a cultivator who ranked 1 in the Nascent Soul stage!

The grand competition had come to an end, causing many people to be astonished.

Of course, the main reason for the shock was still “Xiao Ahshui.” After all, he wasn’t only a foreign master of the Tianling Sect. He was also almost unknown.

However, even though many people had doubts about it, no one questioned it.

“Miss Puppet, please help me report that I’ve brought the three junior brothers and sisters who tied for first place.” Sect Leader Qin was the acting sect leader and had noble status in the sect. However, when facing the cat-eared girl puppet on Mount Xiaohe, he appeared extremely polite and even a little respectful.

Other than aiming for the “official who ranks 9 in front of the Prime Minister,” Sect Leader Qin wanted to build a good relationship with the cat-eared puppet girl more. He wanted to wait until the day when the puppet needed to be replaced so that the puppet could sell part of it to the Qin family at a low price after considering the relationship between the two of them.

Sect Leader Qin greatly desired to obtain the puppet, which was completely covered with superior-grade spirit tools.

One had to know that the Qin family was just a newly established family. The entire family only had two superior-grade spirit tools as their foundation.

Sect Leader Qin’s family had nothing to do with the Qin family that had some old grudges against Fang Jinyu. They just happened to have the same surname.

The cat-eared puppet girl, who was still in charge of guarding the door, immediately replied, “My Lord said that when they come, let them in.”

“Thank you so much!”

Sect Leader Qin cupped his fists and led Wenren Xin, Fang Qin, and “Xiao Ahshui” in.

They arrived in front of a relatively ordinary hall. Sect Leader Qin stood still, bowed respectfully, and said, “Disciple requests an audience with the Grandmaster!”

“Come in!”

The door of the hall opened wide. Sect Leader Qin led the people in and then realized that the three grandmasters were all inside, so he hurriedly bowed.

“There’s no need to be so polite.” Du Maner and Nangong Li responded and curiously sized up Wenren Xin, Fang Qin, and Xiao Ahshui.

After all, they were Fang Jinyu’s “in-name disciple.”

Although they were only in-name disciples, Fang Jinyu had yet to accept any disciples!

Furthermore, they knew that Fang Jinyu was the same generation as Grandmaster Meng. In other words, the status of an “in-name disciple” gave them the right to address the two as their “Senior Sisters.”

Fang Jinyu said, “I don’t intend to take any of you as in-name disciples. You can make a request that is equivalent to an in-name disciple.”

Wenren Xin and that “Xiao Ahshui” were undoubtedly two troublesome people. Was Fang Jinyu tired of living to be their master?

As for Fang Qin…

Fang Jinyu must be crazy to take the fellow as his in-name disciple.

Wenren Xin said without hesitation, “I wish to cultivate the puppet path!”

Wenren Xin was indeed a woman who was obsessed with the puppet path.

“Alright, I have three puppet techniques here. They can be divided into high, middle, and low according to their grade. There was only one page in the first chapter, but it was passed down from ancient times, surpassing the high-tier spells. The puppet path is even more unprecedented.” Fang Jinyu nodded. He had obtained it from the Secret Treasure Pavilion of the Shenhua Sect. It was a page of the immortal scripture.

It was because it was mainly about a puppet path divine power unfathomable power, and it was extraordinary itself. It was equivalent to a grade 8 heavenly material and earthly treasure. It was why the Secret Treasure Pavilion collected it.

“The second chapter is average and has nothing outstanding. However, they are no omissions from the Qi Condensation stage section to the Nascent Soul stage section. The third chapter is a unique method to turn oneself into a puppet to prolong one’s life. It was listed in the third chapter because cultivators can’t continue to cultivate it after breaking through the Core Formation stage.”

After Fang Jinyu finished speaking, he looked at Wenren Xin and waited for her to decide.

Fang Jinyu had obtained both of them in the Upper Realm.

“I want the second part.” Wenren Xin gritted her teeth and said with a helpless expression. Naturally, she wanted the first chapter of the puppet technique that Fang Jinyu had mentioned, but it only had one page. It wasn’t useful to Wenren Xin, who lacked the complete puppet path inheritance.

Fang Jinyu raised his hand and pointed at the puppet technique called “Fake External Immortality Scripture,” and it entered Wenren Xin’s mind.

“Thank you for your reward, Grandmaster! Will I still have a chance to obtain chapter one in the future?” Wenren Xin couldn’t help but ask after obtaining the puppet path inheritance that she had been longing for.

“Of course.” Fang Jinyu didn’t say anything definite. Afterward, he brushed past Fang Qin and looked directly at “Xiao Ahshui.” He then said, “If you don’t know what you want, how about we make a deal of equal value?”
