Chapter 164: Chapter 163: Daoist Soldier Puppet, Upgrading ’Daoist Skill—Profound Soldier Talisman Technique
For three months, Xu Qing had kept the two Demon Pills on his person. By absorbing enough Demonic Qi, the pills gained one Experience Point every minute.
So.
…
[Reincarnation Old Demon LV4: 9600/64000 (This is a Fifteenth-Turned Demon Pill containing the purified Origin of the Extraordinary Extreme of the Second Realm. A Demon Cultivator can absorb and refine it to enhance their Cultivation.)
…
[Skeleton Old Demon LV4: 96/64000 (This is a Fifteenth-Turned Demon Pill containing the purified Origin of the Extraordinary Extreme of the Second Realm. A Demon Cultivator can absorb and refine it to enhance their Cultivation.)]
…
The two Demon Pills had already reached LV4, advancing from Twelfth-Turned Demon Pills to Fifteenth-Turned Demon Pills, equivalent to the ’Extraordinary Extreme’.
With this,
if Ye Langtian were to completely absorb this LV4 Skeleton Demon’s Demon Pill, he could rapidly increase his Cultivation and become much stronger.
Additionally,
Ye Langtian cultivated the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method, but his current Cultivation was only at the Second Transformation Demon Pill Realm, a far cry from Xu Qing’s Four Realms.
“Thank you for your generous gift, Master.”
Ye Langtian’s expression was a mixture of excitement and exhilaration as he knelt before Xu Qing.
After all,
this was a Demon Pill of the Extraordinary Extreme. To obtain such a pill, one had to kill a terrifying Demon Cultivator who had stepped into the Fifteenth-Turned Demon Pill Realm.
An existence like that,
even in Moon River Prefecture City, would be at the apex of the pyramid.
Far too powerful.
It was practically impossible to obtain.
“Mm.”
Xu Qing nodded, took out a list, and handed it to Ye Langtian. “These are some things I need. Use your channels and get them for me as soon as possible.”
“Yes, as you command.”
Ye Langtian took the list from Xu Qing’s hand. After a glance, he said, “Rest assured, Master. I will have these items for you by tomorrow night.”
“Go.”
Xu Qing waved his hand.
“Yes.”
Ye Langtian departed swiftly.
「Late the following night.」
Outside the courtyard, in the same small alley as yesterday.
“Master.”
Ye Langtian arrived on time.
“Mm.”
Xu Qing, naturally disguised as the Life-taking Elder, asked, “Did you get everything?”
“Reporting, Master. I’ve gotten everything,”
Ye Langtian replied.
Then,
Ye Langtian took out the LV10 Broken Storage Ring and respectfully returned it to Xu Qing. “Master, everything you require is inside this ring.”
“Good.”
Xu Qing took it and infused his True Qi into it. His consciousness perceived a vast space within, already filled with a wide variety of different materials.
Of course,
these materials were not precious—just common items. They were precisely the various materials and objects Xu Qing needed for refining the Daoist Soldier Puppets.
However,
the quantity Xu Qing required was immense. Without established channels, it would have been very difficult to purchase and collect so many materials in such a short time.
“Well done.”
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.
“It is my honor to be able to ease your burdens, Master.”
Ye Langtian’s tone was deferential.
“You may go back for now.”
Xu Qing waved his hand. “The Reincarnation Ruins will open in half a month. Since you plan to go, you should refine and absorb the Demon Pill I gave you. Increase your strength as much as possible to avoid any accidents or dangers.”
“Yes, Master.”
Ye Langtian said.
As soon as he spoke,
Ye Langtian departed swiftly. His figure melted into the darkness and vanished in an instant.
Afterward,
Xu Qing also returned to his residence and took off the LV20 Evil Ghost Mask.
’Time to begin,’
Xu Qing’s expression was pensive. ’In the next half-month, it’s impossible to level up my Celestial Roc Technique or Celestial Sword Technique, even if I practice them daily. So, starting tomorrow, I’ll temporarily stop practicing them and use the time to create Daoist Soldier Puppets instead. If I can find a clever way to gain Experience Points, I might be able to level up my Daoist Skill: Profound Soldier Talisman Technique. That could lead to some unexpected gains.’
The night passed uneventfully.
「At dawn the next day, just as the sun was rising.」
With a long exhale, Xu Qing opened his eyes. He stopped his Meditation and the circulation of his Demon Technique. The eight hours of meditation and circulation last night had increased his Experience Points by more than ten thousand.
Evidently,
now that Xu Qing’s Cultivation Realm had broken through to the Four Realms, he needed to consume ten jin of Level 5 Spiritual Food daily. Furthermore, in eight hours, he could practice the Celestial Roc Technique or the Celestial Sword Technique 1,280 times, which was enough to gain 1,280 Experience Points.
By the same token,
his eight hours of nightly Meditation and circulation of the Devouring Demon Technique Second Secret Method were enough to cycle the technique over ten thousand times, granting him over ten thousand Experience Points.
In the morning,
after waking up, Xu Qing ate two jin of Level 5 Spiritual Food. After three months of consumption, he didn’t have much Level 5 Spiritual Food left.
’Let’s begin.’
In the courtyard,
with a wave of his right hand, Xu Qing retrieved nine types of materials from his LV10 Broken Storage Ring: Refined Iron, Talisman Paper, Ink, Snake Sinew, Bone, Ore, Cinnabar, Monkey Eye, and Crystal Stone.
Next,
Xu Qing needed to use these nine materials to first refine the corresponding Spiritual Ink and Puppet, then combine and refine them into a Daoist Soldier Puppet that contained a sliver of Spirituality.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
With a single thought,
Xu Qing mobilized the True Qi in his body, actually igniting his own blood energy. A ball of scarlet flame appeared in his palm.
“Refine!”
BOOM!
Xu Qing let out a soft cry and began tempering the nine materials. Following the proper procedure, he refined them step by step, eventually forging them into a Daoist Soldier Puppet.
For the final step,
Xu Qing bit his fingertip, circulated his True Qi to inscribe Spirit Patterns, and let his blood seep into the puppet. Immediately, the puppet in his hand came to life.
“Go.”
Xu Qing infused it with True Qi, and the puppet began to walk on the ground, much like a remote-controlled toy.
[Experience +1]
A notification appeared.
Indeed,
his ’Daoist Skill: Profound Soldier Talisman Technique’ had gained one Experience Point.
“Good, good, good.”
A smile spread across Xu Qing’s face. “It really works! I really can use a shortcut. Refining these Daoist Soldier Puppets can also grant Experience Points.”
However,
this kind of Daoist Soldier Puppet had no combat ability whatsoever. Even a Mingjin Martial Artist could shatter it with a single blow.
“Continue,”
Xu Qing said to himself.
Calculating the time,
it took Xu Qing ten minutes to refine one Daoist Soldier Puppet. Assuming he had enough materials, he could only make six in an hour. Refining nonstop for sixteen hours would only yield ninety-six such Daoist Soldier Puppets, thus only granting ninety-six Experience Points.
“It’s not bad,”
Xu Qing thought.
After all,
this was just the beginning. As Xu Qing refined more of them, practice would naturally make perfect. Moreover, as his Daoist Skill leveled up, his refining speed was bound to increase.
’I’ll keep going.’
Xu Qing adjusted his mindset and threw himself into the task wholeheartedly.
…
[Experience +1]
…
[Experience +1]
…
Time passed.
As Xu Qing refined one Daoist Soldier Puppet after another, the Experience Points for his ’Daoist Skill: Profound Soldier Talisman Technique’ steadily increased.
On the second day,
Xu Qing’s refining speed increased. He could now make a Daoist Soldier Puppet in six minutes.
On the third day,
his refining speed increased again. It now only took him about five minutes to refine a Daoist Soldier Puppet and gain one Experience Point.
The fourth day… the fifth day… the sixth day…
After that,
Xu Qing’s refining speed plateaued at around five minutes, making any further significant improvements difficult. He had clearly reached a limit.
Before he knew it, seven days had passed.
On this day, in the morning.
[Daoist Skill—Profound Soldier Talisman Technique LV1: 1000/1000 (Upgradeable!)]
“Good.”
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction, a smile on his face. “In seven days, I’ve accumulated 999 Experience Points. It’s ready to be upgraded.”
“Upgrade!”
Xu Qing commanded.
BOOM!
Without hesitation,
Xu Qing focused his mind and communicated with the Encyclopedia of All Things. As the Encyclopedia flickered with fluorescent light, his consciousness felt as if it were being pulled into a mysterious space.
Here,
Xu Qing’s mind was completely immersed, carefully comprehending the changes in the ’Profound Soldier Talisman Technique,’ deciphering its mysteries, and refining one Daoist Soldier after another.
It was worth noting that,
by mastering the ’Daoist Skill—Profound Soldier Talisman Technique,’ as long as Xu Qing’s Cultivation and materials were sufficient, he could at most refine ’Tier Ten Daoist Soldiers.’
A ’Tier Ten Daoist Soldier’ was equivalent to the ’Nine Realms Realm,’ just one step away from the ’True Realm.’
Now,
having fully comprehended and mastered the ’Daoist Skill—Profound Soldier Talisman Technique,’ Xu Qing had broken through convention, elevating the skill to the point where it could refine ’Tier Eleven Daoist Soldiers.’
Tier Eleven Daoist Soldiers.
They were already equivalent to the ’First Level True Realm.’
…
[Upgrade Successful!]
[Daoist Skill—Profound Soldier Talisman Technique LV2: 0/2000 (Further deduced and evolved from the original foundation, breaking convention. Can now condense a ’Dao Heart’ within a Daoist Soldier to refine a ’Tier Eleven Daoist Soldier.’)]
“Excellent, excellent.”
Xu Qing carefully experienced the upgraded LV2 Profound Soldier Talisman Technique. Now that he had mastered the LV2 skill, he was equivalent to a Master Level existence in the field.
In a sense,
Xu Qing’s mind was now filled with a vast amount of this knowledge.
The only issue was,
Xu Qing’s Cultivation was insufficient. He was still only at the Four Realms. Even with enough materials, he couldn’t refine a Daoist Soldier that surpassed the Four Realms.
This was the limitation.
However,
when Xu Qing began refining the ’Daoist Soldier Puppets’ again, his Profound Soldier Talisman Technique, now past Level 1, allowed him to increase his crafting speed by many times.
Under these new circumstances,
Xu Qing could even complete the process with his eyes closed.
The entire process was seamless and fluid. In the end, it took him only a single minute to refine a Daoist Soldier Puppet.
