Chapter 405: Armed Forces Bang! Bang! In Nanyang Lingfeng, the cave where Li Qing lived, the crisp sound of metal collisions kept coming. I saw a puppet whose whole body was made of various spiritual metals, making various lame and stiff movements under Li Qing's control. "It's really like a mountain. It seems that there is a special way to drive this puppet. It doesn't mean just planting a divine brand." Li Qing frowned and gave up controlling the puppet. Ever since he obtained this second-level puppet, Li Qing has been trying to turn it into his own combat power. It's a pity that no matter how hard Li Qing tried, he couldn't make this puppet exert the power it had when he fought against him in Xiangyang City that day. The puppet's stiff and clumsy movements just now were completely different from when he fought with him before! "Although it is a second-level puppet, the refining method can only be said to be ordinary. It is only smelted with various spiritual golds, and there is far from any skill at all."
"That is to say, the combination of each spiritual gold component is relatively delicate, but to this level, I can do it during the Qi refining stage." As a weapon refiner, Li Qing couldn't help but comment on the pros and cons of this puppet. He even wanted to take the puppet apart and study its subtleties and ingenuities carefully. "After all, it is a second-level puppet. It is a pity to dismantle it like this. What if there is something in it that I don't understand?" In the end, Li Qing rejected the idea. Although the refining technique of this puppet seemed simple, he had never received a special inheritance of puppetry, so he was unable to explore its secrets. "In the future, we can pay more attention to some puppet inheritance, and maybe we can find a way to correctly control this puppet." No matter what, the spiritual gold used to refine this second-level puppet is definitely not fake. If there is really no other way, Li Qing can dismantle the puppet and use the spiritual gold on it to refine magical weapons. . Just when Li Qing was about to put it into his storage bag, he suddenly frowned. "Puppet. Hiss!" "I remember that I seemed to have obtained a special secret technique of puppet refining in the early years. I don't know if this thing can be regarded as the inheritance of puppet technique!" After the words fell, Li Qing quickly took out all the storage bags on his body and began to rummage inside. After a long time, he pulled out a thin book from a gray storage bag, with three large characters "Wood Spirit Puppet" printed on the cover! Speaking of which, Li Qing almost forgot about this partial inheritance simply because it was too long ago. When he was still in the Qi refining stage, he lived in Qinghua Pond for a long time in order to seek opportunities from Qingyang Taoist Master to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill. During that period, Liu Hanyue approached Taoist Qingyang to refine the Foundation Building Pill, and finally took the Foundation Building Pill in Qinghua Pond and started building the Foundation directly. It was also at that time that Li Qing, who was invited to protect the law, killed several remnants of the historians. In their storage bags, Li Qing obtained this secret book called Wood Spirit Puppet. "I have always forgotten this secret technique, because it has never been used and I haven't studied it seriously." "I was negligent."
With that said, Li Qing turned over the secret technique again and quickly went through the contents recorded in this secret technique. Wood puppet! This is indeed a unique secret technique for refining puppets, but it is different from puppets in the ordinary sense. This secret technique requires a living spiritual tree to be sacrificed, at the cost of depriving the entire spiritual tree of its vitality. , and finally be able to refine the so-called Wood Spirit Puppet. However, Li Qing does not have any living spiritual tree on hand now. Instead, he planted a jade locust tree in the secret realm of nourishing the soul. However, it has been a long time and he has never had the chance to go back and take a look. He doesn't know what it is. What happened to a jade locust tree? "Although those made with this secret technique can also be called puppets, I don't think they are the so-called inheritance of puppet techniques." Li Qing frowned slightly. He did not find the so-called method of driving a puppet. And this puppet with a spiritual gold structure obviously did not meet the various conditions of the Wood Spirit Puppet. After confirming that there was no connection, Li Qing finally put the secret technique and the puppet in front of him into his storage bag. Regardless of these things for the time being, his biggest gain from this trip was still the Zifu spiritual liquid and a small bottle of Millennium Spiritual Milk. "Although the quantity is not large, it is a very good start. I hope the black market can bring me more surprises in the future." Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone full of expectation. It's just that neither he nor Shen Ningbing can spend too much energy on the operation of the black market. It would be unsightly if their cultivation was delayed because of this. Moreover, the black market has many involvements. Once it enters the eyes of the Ghost Sword Sect in the future, it is likely to suffer a devastating blow. "After all, you still have to find some agents. It's safest to be a hands-off shopkeeper behind the scenes." "But now we are unfamiliar with the place and there are no monks we can trust. So we can only start with the orphans in Xiangyang City." He plans to let those orphans maintain the normal operation of the black market in the future. Doing so will have several benefits. First, those orphans are mortals without spiritual roots and are easier to control. Secondly, precisely because they are mortals, even if they are active in Xiangyang City, they will not be particularly eye-catching. Third, the most crucial point is that these orphans were displaced because of the Ghost Sword Sect, and their identities are absolutely clean. Of course, there are disadvantages. After all, the black market is a place that provides services for cultivators, and ordinary mortals alone cannot control the place. \u0026t;divtentadv\u0026gt;"Although I have created an image of a mysterious identity and background, the black market will definitely attract a steady stream of cultivators in the future. There will always be some unknown people who will emerge. This is inevitable." "It seems that it is time to pass on the new martial arts path of the polar night world here." So far, more than ten days have passed. The black market in the north district of Xiangyang City has been running slowly. As Li Qing expected, some people couldn't help but want to do some business after getting the black iron token that exempted the handling fee. So, in this underground square, simple vendors opened one after another. The things sold in the early stage were quite ordinary, mostly ordinary things that were only used in the Qi Refining Stage, which were not worthy of Li Qing's attention. But this was just the beginning after all. As long as it continued in the future, this place would become a treasure trove of spiritual stones.
In order to ensure this stable source of spiritual stones, Li Qing and Shen Ningbing finally selected a number of orphans with good will and martial arts roots from the North City District. In a very inconspicuous alley in the North City District, Li Qing, wearing a black hood, looked at dozens of orphans in front of him who looked a little uneasy. He knew that it was time for him to say some nice words to brainwash these orphans. So, Li Qing stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to live well?" "No more hunger, no more displacement, no more looking at other people's faces." "Take your life into your own hands!" "Do you want to live like I said?" When saying this, Li Qing used some of his spiritual power, and his voice was highly contagious. The orphans in front all nodded in unison, and a few of them showed a longing light in their eyes. "Master, how can we control our own destiny? We don't have spiritual roots, and we can't practice. We are just mortals after a lifetime of hard work!" Someone asked unwillingly, not hiding his ambition to pursue power. Hearing this, Li Qing nodded with satisfaction. He was not afraid that you had no ambition, but that you were muddleheaded. As expected, some of the orphans he carefully selected met his requirements. Previously, he gave food to many orphans in the North City District, and did not hide his behavior, making these orphans who received the food become the targets of other orphans who were also hungry. Most of them chose to hand over the food silently in order to avoid being hurt and continued to starve. But some people also resisted and wanted to protect the food they got at all costs, because they knew that if they had no food, they would also die. Of course, the latter had a miserable end. Not only did they lose their food, but they were also beaten and seriously injured. It was Li Qing who personally rescued them. Only a few people knew how to endure. They first handed over the food honestly during the day to avoid a beating, and then memorized the faces of these people. That night, they took the sharpened iron tools to find the place one by one. The first type of people is not the target that Li Qing is looking for. Only the latter two types of people are what Li Qing needs. When practicing martial arts, bloodiness is the first priority! This is his most profound understanding as a martial arts master. If a martial artist has lost his blood, then even if he has only martial arts, he is just a coward. In addition, a martial artist must also have brains. If he is full of blood, he can't go too far. Now the group of people in front of Li Qing are all people with blood. In the future, they will walk the path of the nine transformations of qi and blood in the new martial arts, which will be relatively smoother. "Not having spiritual roots only means that you can't cultivate immortals, but it doesn't mean that you can't master power." "The way of heaven closes a door for you, but it also leaves a window for you." "Practicing martial arts can also master power!" Hearing the word "practicing martial arts", many orphans showed disappointment. Knowing that there is a fairy way, martial arts is obviously inferior.
No matter how strong the martial arts are, can they be the enemy of the fairy master in the city? "Master, even the strongest martial arts master will be doomed in front of flying swords and various magical instruments." In response, Li Qing just chuckled and said, "The road is made by people. In your eyes, the master is the pinnacle of martial arts?" "No, someone has already opened up this road longer. The road of martial arts will never stop at the master level." "The next step is called the Nine Transformations of Qi and Blood. If you can walk through this road, ordinary Qi Refining cultivators are no match for you!" As soon as these words came out, all the orphans' eyes flashed. "Master, are you serious?" Li Qing pretended to be mysterious and said, "Whether it is true or not, why don't you try it yourself? Don't you have any other choices?"
