Chapter 162: Fake Dan Puppet, 20,000 Born

Huogufang City.

In the secret room built on the earth's fire lake, Shen Lian was refining ore debris with gurgling hot air all over his body.

The spiritual power extracted from the underground fire spirit veins is gathered into the ore slag during the refining process.

The property left by Gong Zhongze is simply...simply...forget it...uneducated...that's just two words for it.

The restrictions throughout the valley and the aura-condensing formations gave Shen Lian an extra sense of peace of mind during the smelting process.

The only bad thing is that here is the fire spirit vein. When smelting gold, fire, earth and other attribute ores, you can directly use the fire spirit power in the spirit vein, but water and wood attribute ores still need to use Only spiritual stones will do.

It just so happened that Shen Lian was not short of spiritual stones now.

Counting his own reserves, he now has more than three million spiritual stones, and there will be no shortage of spiritual stones in a short period of time.

After Dahei played with Red Crystal Fire Ant, offspring with dual bloodlines of Black Horned Ant and Red Crystal Fire Ant were also being born in the Red Crystal Fire Ant's nest.

Of course, Dahei was just having fun, mainly with the combination of his tribesmen and red crystal fire ants.

The bloodline of the newly born red crystal black horned ants is not yet stable, and it will take some time to continue to transform from generation to generation.

As time went by, some monks came to Fangshi to settle down, and Shen Lian also pretended to be Gong Zhongze to receive them.

With his powerful spiritual thoughts and understanding of Gong Zhongze's behavior, he did not arouse suspicion from others.

As time passed, Shen Lian directly announced to the outside world that Huo Gan was refining weapons in seclusion, and all matters were managed by the steward Gong Zhongze.

If you have anything to do, ask the manager.

The manager...maybe goes out sometimes.

After Fangshi's original foundation-building monk who came to see the gate died, Shen Lian recruited two new foundation-building monks, both of whom were at the first level of foundation building.

These two people were responsible for telling the monks who came that the city was currently closed.

Fortunately, in the past, Huogufang City only followed a small circle route, and there were not many monks who came into contact with it.

As for those who can't get in and want to take a peek at Huogufang City, they are not familiar with Huogufang City at first glance. Fellow Taoists who are familiar with this place know that everything inside and outside Huogufang City is restricted.

After taking over Fangshi, Shen Lian also arranged multiple restriction points within a two hundred-mile radius, and there were also black-horned ant colonies stationed there.

In short, as long as the same aura lingers nearby many times, it is destined to be detected.

After taking security measures in place, Shen Lian officially started his term as director of the valley.

In addition to smelting ore, he is also busy with a big job.

In the secret room, Huogan Zhenren, who was twisted into the shape of a prawn, has now stood up, and his rickety body has straightened up again.

There are more than ten kinds of various spiritual objects floating around, including spider silk, animal skins, smelted divine gold wire, iron sheets and other things.

In the past, the level of puppet refining was too low, and he was too lazy to strengthen and improve it. However, Huo Gan was a fake elixir, and Shen Lian deliberately upgraded his puppet making level to the second high level.

He was going to refine it carefully so that even if he left Huogufang City in the future, Huogan Master would still be able to use it for a while.

Spider silk and gold thread are used to enhance the stability and coordination of the limbs, and animal skin and iron sheets are used to enhance defense.

"Buzz!"

After patting the foreign object into the body of Master Huogan, Shen Lian sacrificed his Tianyan Fire Spiritual Power and penetrated it into Master Huogan's body.

This step is to further integrate the external object and the physical body.

"Tsk..."

While controlling the fire sacrifice to dry the body, Shen Lian showed his thoughts.

It is recorded in the memory of Master Huogan that his best magic weapon is the exotic pearl called Tianling Sanhua Pearl.

The so-called exotic treasures are mostly magic weapons used by fake elixirs. The quality is between magic weapons and magic weapons, and the power depends on the specific situation.

Some of the fake treasures of the real elixir are more powerful than the magic weapons of the real elixir.

This Heavenly Spirit Scattered Flower Bead was sacrificed by Huo Gan in accordance with Gong Zhongze's requirements. Its main function is to store the power of spiritual fire, and it can be used to instantaneously fire over a large area when facing the enemy.

In addition, this treasure has two other spells, the sky fire descends into the world and the sea burns and the mountains boil.

The names all sound mighty and domineering, but the real power is quite impressive. The so-called heavenly fire coming to the world is just a ball of fire falling to the ground.

It's easy to smash the foundation to death, but if you want to fight with the same level, it seems a bit weak.

After Shen Lian examined Huo Gan's body, he felt that it could be improved. He refined it into a large amount of third-level ore gold and turned it into a true third-level golden elixir fighter.

They are all just skeletons anyway, and the meridians and Dantian have lost their vitality, so there is no need to worry about problems arising from force-feeding.

In this way, even if he encounters the Jindan cultivator and really wants to hit him hard, he can throw Master Huogan out to block him.

"Click."

Half a month later, a sound rang out from the body of Huo Gan, who was being sacrificed by the flames. His back first bulged, and then suddenly collapsed, revealing a dazzling red light.

Shen Lian's expression did not change. This was all a small problem. He took out a piece of animal skin and put it on the small crack.

The cracking of the flesh body also means that Huogan Zhenren's bones have reached the limit of carrying capacity. Due to the second and third-level ore refined into it, Huogan Puppet's entire weight has increased by at least seven or eight times.

The rough embryo creation work is completed.

Shen Lian surrounded him, his fingers popped out one after another, and the spiritual restraints sank into them, and he started the last step.

…

Two months later.

"Huh...haha, I'm a little fat, but it's not a big problem."

Looking at Huo Gan, who was half a head taller, Shen Lian nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, Huo Gan Puppet was wearing a set of large black robes. On the inside of the black robe, jade talismans were embedded in the flesh, absorbing the death energy from the bones.

From a distance, the aura is not much different from the original Huo Gan Zhenren.

Overall, the fake elixir puppet created this time has been upgraded.

In terms of defense, it is definitely comparable to the early stage of Zhenjindan.

From now on, you only need to show your face in the market occasionally.

For Shen Lian, having Huo Gan is the icing on the cake. If not, he can play both roles.

As the divine thoughts submerged into the Huogan puppet, the Huogan puppet started to move, leaped up and down, offered the Heavenly Spirit Scattered Flower Beads, simply cast a few fire spells, and could also perform complex movements.

Different from the puppets made before, there is an energy restriction in the Dantian inside the Huogan puppet, which needs to be embedded with spiritual stones as the energy source for the puppet to use the exotic treasure.

"Although I don't have a puppet crystal, my spirit puppet is not bad either."

A flash of inspiration occurred on Shen Lian's body, and the Fire Spirit Puppet disappeared into it. In addition to his spiritual thoughts, the puppet also had a spiritual object known as the puppet master's sacred object, which was the puppet crystal.

Puppet crystal is something similar to a spiritual stone, which can temporarily contain spiritual thoughts and embed it into a puppet, which can assist in controlling the puppet.

After all, for a puppet master, it is okay to control one puppet. If he controls too many puppets, it will put a lot of pressure on his own spiritual thoughts. But with puppet crystals, it is different.

In addition to puppet crystals, some puppet masters also use high-end spider silk, silk and other things to control puppets.

However, these external objects are too limited. Firstly, they cannot reach too far. Secondly, once someone notices and cuts off the spider silk, the puppet will be at risk of having its beard cut off.

If the other party's spiritual will is strong, it is possible to turn against the guest.

With the addition of a third-level human shield, Shen Lian was still in a very good mood.

In addition, Dahei's work is also progressing very well. A steady stream of black-horned ants are scattered in the mountain forest, and red crystal fire ants bring back ore debris every now and then, without him having to go out to collect it himself.

This also made Shen Lian realize that Red Crystal Fire Ants may be exempt from inspection here in Red Crystal Mining City.

Otherwise, ordinary demonized red crystal demon ants, which can collect ore debris, would have been dug up by the monks long ago.

Nowadays, being caught occasionally is not a big problem at all.

In the secret room.

Shen Lian took out the black phoenix egg. This egg had been kept by him for more than ten years. At this moment, the breath inside was extremely hot, and it moved from time to time.

The vitality is dozens of times stronger than when I first bought it, and there are slight cracks on the surface of the eggshell.

Shen Lian called Dahei and Sanqian over.

"Master, I'm hot."

As soon as Sanqian came out, he spit out a wave of water for himself, but the fire spiritual power surged in the secret room, and a lot of it evaporated into water vapor, so it could only spit out and spit out.

"Twenty thousand, is it my brother or my sister?"

Dahei was not hot at all. He stretched out his big tongs and tapped the eggshell, looking very curious.

"Click."

A quarter of an hour later, the black phoenix egg glowed with red gold light, and faint runes loomed, and a winding crack penetrated the egg shell.

Then, a pointed mouth poked out first.

"Owner……"

"Big Black Brother."

"Sister Sanqian."

While pecking the eggshell with its pointed beak, it made a crisp bird song.

It's not surprising that Twenty Thousand can talk as soon as he breaks out of his shell.

Shen Lian's job as a nanny for more than ten years was not for nothing. Under the nourishment of Tianyan Fire Domain, the bloodline origin of 20,000 people should have begun to transcend his parents' generation.

Not only can he speak after breaking his shell, but his aura has also reached the ninth level of Qi training.

It can be said that in the eggshell, spiritual consciousness has begun to exist, and the existence of Sanqian and Dahei has been sensed.

"Yeah, you're so ugly."

After most of the eggshell was eaten, a small red bird about one foot in size, with a red downy body, a fleshy crest on its head, and a sharp beak and sharp claws appeared in the remaining half of the eggshell.

After flapping its wings and eating the eggshell cleanly, Twenty Wan's body glowed with a red light, and a circle of yellow fluff grew on the crown of his head.

"It's a bit ugly, but it's not bad." Dahei shook his pliers and nodded gracefully.

Shen Lian waved, and twenty thousand flew in front of him.

"What bloodline magical power did you inherit?"

Twenty Wan rubbed Shen Lian closely and tilted his head to think about it.

"I can breathe fire, big, big fire."

According to legend, the magical power of the Golden Crow clan is to spit fire all day long, which can burn the sky and cook the earth. The fire from the Fire Phoenix clan has the power to destroy the sky and the earth.

We, Erwan, are still young, and our brains are not very good yet. It is enough that we can spit fire, which is understandable.

Dahei is the element of earth, three thousand is the element of water, and twenty thousand is the element of fire. If you get two monsters of the wood element and the metal element, you can complete the five elements.

Shen Lian had a second-level golden sword ancient beetle in his reserve before. He got it from the disciple of the old devil Heiya. Unfortunately, his breath was weak when he got it.

More than twenty years have passed, and he has forgotten it many times since he ran away. The last time he checked, he found that he had returned to the Worm Planet.

…

Time passed quickly, and on this day outside Huogufang City, a cry sounded in the void.

Then, a red crane flew out of the valley. Standing on the crane was a young woman, wearing a red dress, with bare feet, and a small bell attached to it.

Behind the spirit crane, there is also a flying boat.

There are two figures on the flying boat, one old and one young.

"Grandpa, is that there?"

The girl pointed to the Fire Valley Market embedded in the mountains.

"Yes, that's where Fellow Daoist Huo Qian lives."

The old man on the spirit boat stroked his beard, "Don't be rude when you meet someone later."

"Got it, I promise not to talk."

The girl in the red skirt nodded.

The group landed outside the Fire Valley Market. The two foundation-building monks guarding the door felt the old man's aura and walked up to him with a bow.

"Senior, my master is in seclusion and won't see any guests."

"What is Huo Qian doing?"

The old man showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Where's Xiao Gong."

"Manager Gong, he's not..."

"Okay, leave."

In the market, Shen Lian, who looked like Manager Gong, flew out.

He was busy smelting ore, but he didn't expect an old fake Dan to come outside the market.

After looking through his memory, the old man was called Master Huo Yu, and he was also a fake Dan.

In the Tianzhu Mountain mining area, there were not many other things, but the number of fake Dan monks was a little more than outside.

Of course, it's just a little more, after all, the demon king also needs time to practice.

Huoyu Zhenren is the elder of Chiyang Sect, and Hongyun Zhenren, who is in charge of Chijing Mine City, is the chief cultivator of Chiyang Sect.

Unlike other sects where the head of the sect is respected, Chiyang Sect respects the supreme elder Hongyun Zhenren, and the positions in the sect are arranged according to their own strength realm.

"Meet Zhenren."

Seeing 'Gong Zhongze' coming out, Huoyu Zhenren did not speak, as if to let Shen Lian speak first. .

"Zhenren, please don't blame me. My Zhenren has been in seclusion for a long time and is refining a magic weapon, so he blocked the market."

"Is Daoist Huo Qian refining a magic weapon?"

Huoyu's eyes lit up, "Are you refining the embryo of a magic weapon?"

"Yes."

Shen Lian nodded. He sensed the breath of Huoyu Zhenren, which was a little worse than that of Huo Gan Zhenren, but it was not a big problem.

"It seems that I really came to the right place."

Huoyu smiled and stroked his beard, and glanced at the girl on the spiritual crane next to him.

But the girl was also very obedient, lowering her head and tiptoeing, and she would not speak if she said she would not speak.

"How long will it take for Brother Huo Gan to come out of retreat?"

Shen Lian shook his head, looking like he didn't know either.

"Forget it, then I won't go in. When Brother Huo Gan comes out of retreat, you tell him that I have been here and ask him when he will leave for the main mine city of Yunshang."

"Don't blame me, Master. My Master said during his retreat that he would not go to the auction of the main mine city of Yunshang this time. He is at a critical stage in refining and cannot be distracted."

"What is Huo Gan doing?" Huo Yu frowned slightly. He had communicated with Huo Gan before and wanted to go to the main mine city of Yunshang together.

Shen Lian also dug up this matter from his memory. The main reason for going to the main mine city was to obtain the third-level Tianji Gathering Spirit Array. Since he didn't need it, he naturally didn't need to go again.

"How long has Brother Huo Gan been in seclusion?"

"More than a year, the earth fire furnace has been burning, and I can't get close."

"This time the refining took a long time."

Huo Yu narrowed his eyes. Based on his understanding of Huo Gan, it was obvious that his refining skills had improved.

This time, he came here just to ask Huo Gan to refine a bell-type treasure for his precious granddaughter.

But if Huo Gan's skills improved and he could refine a magic weapon embryo, then refining a treasure would not be cost-effective. He could refine a magic weapon embryo.

Shen Lian lowered his head and didn't speak, his mind sensing the surroundings.

If it was the previous Huo Gan, he would definitely not be able to refine a magic weapon embryo. He spoke up at the exchange meeting before to deceive people.

But for him, it's not a big problem, and he can still practice.

This master of refining has never refined a magic weapon.

"Brother Huoyu, I can't spare time right now. I have something to ask of me... If you want to refine a weapon, just leave the materials behind."

In the market, the sound of fire scorching rang out, accompanied by the sound of the flames dancing.
