Chapter 296: Puppet Split

Chapter 296 - Puppet Bilocation

Qizhen Building, Alchemy Room.

Granny Yun rushed over at the news and appraised the three Foundation Establishment Pills that Lu Chang'an had refined.

"All of them are genuine Foundation Establishment Pills, with very few impurities... I am impressed by your skill in refining pills."

Granny Yun praised them.

The Yun siblings were delighted, and their faces were full of smiles.

In a single alchemy, both siblings obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill. Not only does it save money and time, it also reduces the risk.

"Mister Xu, this is your reward."

Granny Yun received two Foundation Establishment Pills and handed the other one to Lu Chang'an.

This was a prior agreement.

If three Foundation Establishment Pills were refined, Lu Changan would take one of them as payment.

After this alchemy session, both parties got to know each other and established initial trust. Lu Changan's alchemy skills were recognized by Granny Yun.

The three Foundation Establishment Pills are all of superior quality, and the alchemy is fast and steady.

With this kind of skill, he is at least a quasi third-ranked alchemist.

And Xu Zhenran claimed that he could still make a few third-order pills, but the success rate was not high.

The first floor parlor of the Precious House.

Granny Yun personally made tea for Lu Changan and exchanged pleasantries.

During this time, Granny Yun did not move and looked at this Mr. Xu to make sure that the latter's appearance and demeanor were not any of the deceased in her memory.

"Could it be a nebulous reincarnation past life?"

Granny Yun's heart was uncertain.

However, reincarnation is the same as a new life, and even people who are close to each other are no longer related to each other, and may even kill each other.

Therefore, there is no point in searching for past lives.

Unless you can break the mystery of the fetus and awaken the memory of your past life.

But only the mighty or those who cultivate the attribute of reincarnation can do so.

As a JieDan realist, a quasi third-ranked dan master, Xu Zhenran is at least one or two hundred years old.

The soul lamp of the Divine Flame Lord was extinguished and had fallen for decades, so his age was completely incorrect.

"This person is elegant and easy-going, indeed good-natured, easy to make most people smooth...... eyes."

During the conversation, Granny Yun looked more and more comfortable, happy to talk to.

Whether it is the fate of reincarnation, or indeed the fate, both are good, this person is worth drawing in.

Lu Changan didn't want to talk to Granny Yun in depth, but the other party's interest in talking was too strong.

He managed to get to the point:

"Mistress Yun, I heard Yun Ling say that if the alchemy is successful this time, you will introduce a peaceful and free third-order spirit vein dojo for Mister Xu?"

Granny Yun was inexplicably a little annoyed inwardly, seeing that Lu Chang'an didn't want to chat much with an old woman like himself.

She murmured, "Indeed, this is true, and I will help introduce you. But whether it will be successful or not depends on Real Xu's skill and character."

"I recognize the skills of Zenith Xu. In the end, it will also depend on the opinion of my late friend. Because, that spirit vein dojo is owned by him."

"That Spirit Vein Dojo, is it in the River Origin Oasis? To which power it belongs."

Lu Chang'an inquired.

"It's in the River Origin Oasis. That dojo doesn't belong to a certain power, it doesn't need Realizer Xu to sell his life, and it doesn't have that many constraints. It only needs Real Xu to steadily complete some alchemy commissions, tutor some medicine children, and help look after and take care of the medicinal herbs there......."

Granny Yun spoke out the conditions that made Lu Changan moved.

He reckoned that it should be a small private third-order spirit vein dojo.

Spirit veins are divided into grades as well as sizes.

The higher the grade, the larger the size of the vein.

There are also small third-grade veins, most of which are cultivated later in life and are not innately formed.

Like the medium to large third rank spirit vein in Golden Cloud Valley, it would not be a problem to supply seven or eight True Dan cultivators at the same time.

"How long will it take before there is accurate news."

Lu Chang'an's other two alternatives were not as favorable as this one.

"That old friend of mine will probably take half a year to return to the River Origin Oasis. If Real Xu doesn't have a better option, he might as well wait."

"Good, half a year then."

Lu Chang'an agreed.

He figured that half a year was just Yun Yan's words.

During this period of time, Yun Yan and that old friend would probably investigate Xu Zhenzhen's origins and examine his character.

......

The next day.

Lu Chang'an rented a small courtyard in the market for half a year, which is more cost-effective and private than an inn.

Half a year, there is no third-order spirit vein, just enjoy the second-order spirit vein, Lu Changan to spirit stone pills can be used as a supplement.

However, spirit stone pills cannot be relied upon for a long period of time, or else it will lower the cultivator's sense of heaven and earth and kill his potential.

Moreover, the cost is more than ten times more expensive than renting a spirit vein.

For half a year, Lu Chang'an focused on studying the Spirit Transforming Alien Puppet Record, as well as Ada Maru's puppet insights, to promote his own skills and inspirations.

The puppet with the face of a woman is the result of Ada Maru's lifelong research. This foreign spirit puppet alone has benefited Lu Chang'an a lot.

The human-faced female puppet was only a half-finished product, with a completion level of about 70%, and it had some flaws, as it couldn't last long in battle and was prone to malfunctioning.

In addition, the independent consciousness of the human-faced Jiao Puppet's spirit injection was somewhat repulsed by Lu Chang'an's manipulation, and his hands were tied.

After all, the consciousness of the puppet spirit was once a sister who was in love with Ada Maru.

Fortunately, Lu Changan did not intend to use "her" to fight, but simply as a research object.

Through the study of this alien spirit puppet, Lu Changan quickly realized the method of spirit injection in the "Spirit Transformation Alien Puppet Record".

In less than a month, he succeeded in learning it.

After all, Lu Changan had the eye consciousness of a Yuan Ying, his divine sense was powerful, and his puppet skills were approaching the middle grade of the third rank.

After learning the puppet injection method, Lu Chang'an had to find test subjects.

It requires refining the souls of living beings, and the effect is even better on sapient human beings, with brutal methods.

Although Lu Chang'an is not a good person, he is not willing to kill innocent people without any interest.

He let the ground rock rats go to the desert and catch some sand beasts with higher intelligence, and collected some sand beast souls through the Soul Nurturing Ring.

After that, he refined the souls of the sand beasts and injected them into the eliminated second stage puppets.

When refining, it wiped out the unfavorable conscious memories of the resistance, leaving behind a relatively clean consciousness hatchling in the end.

After many experiments, one or two cases were successful.

Lu Chang'an discovered the flaws and limitations of this kind of refining spirit injection.

One is that the refining process may make the living soul unable to withstand the torture and completely collapse.

The more intelligent the soul, the stronger the resistance.

Secondly, after refining the spirit into the puppet, it still needs to go through a long period of conditioning and training.

If the coaching and training time is long enough, the consciousness in the puppet will be more intelligent, its judgment will be more rational, and its fighting strength may exceed that of the same level of cultivators.

As a result, the two cases that Lu Changan had successfully infused with the spirit were dull and had a very weak level of consciousness to fight independently.

"There was an element of trickery in Ada Maru's success. His own sister, who was in love with him, willingly cooperated with......"

Lu Chang'an could see the reason for this.

Ada Maru has a tricky way, so does Lu Chang'an.

The first, second, and fourth lives in the Nine Seal Tablet are all ready-made soul forms, and they are incomparably pure after being washed by the power of reincarnation from the Nine Seal Tablet.

The souls that have been refined through spirit injection, no matter how much they are washed and refined, more or less will leave behind some residual obsessions from their previous lives.

In the following time, Lu Changan tried to guide the soul shadow of his first life and refine the spirit injection into the puppet.

The soul shadow of the first life was illuminated very quickly.

With the Jindan realm's divine soul nourishment, it could be illuminated in a day at most.

The first few attempts ended in failure.

The shadow of the soul in the first life, after being detached from Lu Chang'an's body, flowed at a faster rate.

The process of fusing and bonding with the puppet didn't go so smoothly, and it collapsed soon after.

Lu Chang'an understood that his previous life was a perfect fit with his physical body in this life, and there was no such enhancement for other physical carriers.

Seeing this, Lu Chang'an was directly inside his body, refining the Shadow of the Soul and compressing and purifying it.

As if refining a magic treasure, he put in his own divine sense imprint.

The control hub of the puppet carrier was also refined, leaving a divine sense imprint.

In the end, the compressed and purified soul shadow transformed into a green bean-sized soul light bead, which was integrated into the second stage puppet carrier.

This time it succeeded!

The soul shadow of the first life is refined and injected into the puppet.

"Huh!"

Lu Chang'an unexpectedly realized that the Spirit-infused second-rank turtle puppet seemed like his own flesh and blood doppelganger.

With a thought, the turtle puppet flexibly made various precise movements.

Continuous backflips, death spins, turtle sumo......

Not only did he wield it like an arm, Lu Changan's own divine sense consumption was negligible.

After two months of trial and error, Lu Chang'an's heart was invigorated.

After compression and refinement of the first life injected spirit, supplied by the puppet crystal spirit power in the puppet, as long as there is no violent fighting, it can be hosted for a longer period of time. One night.

Lu Chang'an maneuvered the puppet of the First Life Spirit Injection in the wilderness and left for a long distance.

As a result, the puppet was able to be manipulated by his mind as if it was a remote doppelganger at a range of several hundred miles.

Moreover, he could share the puppet's senses.

"Puppet incarnation!"

Lu Chang'an was pleasantly surprised, and a thought popped up in his mind.

The Alien Spirit Puppets built by Ada Maru could not be controlled over such a long distance without this kind of manipulation in the form of flesh and blood arms.

Lu Changan surmised that the target of the Spirit Injection Refinement was his own soul form from his previous life, equivalent to another self!

Therefore, after the Spirit Injection possesses the puppet, it has the similar effect of the "Incarnation Outside Body" divine ability.

But there is a difference.

Lu Chang'an's puppet has no autonomous consciousness and needs to be controlled remotely.

A true incarnation can only be cultivated at the God Transformation Stage.

This realm is also known as the Divine Separation Stage, where a part of the consciousness can be split independently without affecting the soul's origin.

That kind of incarnation aptitude possesses autonomous consciousness, and can be used to explore, fight, and perform complex tasks outside.

It is very difficult to cultivate an Avatar below the level of Spirit Transformation.

Because of this, one would have to suffer the consequences of splitting their soul and consciousness, injuring their soul and affecting their lifespan and potential.

Even if one were to borrow an external object and mold the legendary "second baby", one would also have to split their consciousness, causing damage to their soul and losing a small amount of their soul's origin.

The loss of soul essence involves the potential of a living being and is almost permanently unrecoverable.

This is also the reason why there are very few YuanYing stage cultivators who have become avatars.

The few that do, are mostly castrated versions with greatly reduced aptitude and many limitations.

In his fourth life, Lu Chang'an had checked the relevant records.

Even at the God Transformation Stage, there are risks involved in transforming into an avatar.

Once the original God of Transformation is wounded and its strength falls, or if the doppelganger gets some great chance and its strength surpasses that of the original, there is a risk of the doppelganger turning against the doppelganger.

Such examples have happened more than once or twice since the ancient times on the Heaven Honoring Continent.

"Although my puppet doppelganger is far inferior to the doppelganger of a Heavenly Monarch of Transformation, its incorporation is only the first life divine soul."

"If it were to incorporate a peak JieDan of the second life and a YuanYing divine soul of the fourth life, I'm afraid that the manipulation distance would be even further and the strength would be even stronger."

Lu Chang'an couldn't help but look ahead to a scenario:

He himself was hiding in the Feng Yuan Kingdom, remotely controlling the powerful puppet possessed by the fourth life to return to the Wei Dao Alliance and Liang Kingdom Immortal Cultivation Realm, procuring resources, prying for information, and assassinating his enemies.

Of course, this is just a theoretical reverie, in reality there are many difficulties.

For example, the puppet must be realistic enough to look and talk like a human.

The puppet inheritance that Lu Chang'an got from his memories in his fourth life was moderate, and there was no such cutting-edge skills in this kind of segmented field.

Ada Maru did have some reserves of such skills.

However, the puppets built by Ada Maru are easy to see when they are close to one another, and can only fool low-ranked cultivators.

"In order to build a perfect puppet avatar to walk around for me, I must obtain the core puppet techniques of the Thousand Chance Sect."

Lu Chang'an intended to consider this matter after he had stabilized in the Wind Elemental Kingdom and advanced to the middle stage of JieDan.

......

The agreed upon half a year Lu Chang'an spent it in abundance.

The current Puppet Split was simply controlling a long-distance large-sized toy, and its practicality was not as good as that of a Ground Rock Rat.

Until this day, Yun Ling came to visit, interrupting Lu Chang'an's research.

This time, Yun Ling came alone, her brother Yun Hao was recently in seclusion, preparing to build the foundation.

"Master Xu, Grandma told me to come over."

Dressed in a long pink and white dress, Yun Ling bowed in obeisance, her voice as sweet as a bell.

Lu Changan looked at the seventeen or eighteen year old girl, starry eyes and white teeth, willow waist, delicate snowy skin, powdery lips, all of them are pure and bright.

This woman's looks differed greatly from Guan Qiaozhi's, but the qualities of an eighteen year old girl were similar, and her face and temperament were even more outstanding. "No need to be courteous, what does Boss Yun have to say?"

Lu Changan waved his hand, his tone was easygoing.

Yun Ling was alone, facing a JieDan real person, she seemed to be a bit nervous.

Her bright eyes glanced at the elegant man, and then she hung her head, not daring to look directly at him.

"This is the token that Grandma gave you."

Yun Ling took out a purple jade pendant with a serious expression and presented it to Lu Chang'an.

Looking at the delicate jade hand close at hand.

Lu Changan looked at her with a deep meaning, his hand Dan force surging, will be taken into the hands of the jade pendant.

With a slight contact of divine sense, a simple map appeared inside the jade pendant, marking a certain location on the River Source Oasis.

When Lu Changan perceived the jade pendant, Yun Ling's face flushed slightly.

The reason why she was nervous about meeting Xu Zhenzhen this time was because she had the intention to test the waters, and it seemed that this little cleverness had been discovered by the senior.

The previous three times they met, that kind of affinity, affectionate feeling, let Yu Ling heart doubt, and curious.

The first time she traded in the stall area, Lu Chang'an let her take advantage of her, more or less something fishy.

Grandma had warned her that there was no such thing as an unprovoked favor, especially one given by a man.

Grandma also said that there is a law that no matter whether you are a young man, a middle-aged man, or an old man, there is a heart that never changes, and that is the love of a young and beautiful woman.

Lu Chang'an's behavior that day inevitably made Yu Ling speculate whether this senior really had something in mind for her.

She decided to test it out: if this Xu Zhenzhen touched his hand when he received the token, then he had ulterior motives, and was what his brother called "an old cow eating young grass".

Granny seems to be a bit interested in Xu Zhenzhen and has no objection to this.

If Xu Zhenxing acts indecently, he will not be able to get consent even if he gets the token and goes to the dojo.

Of course, Yun Ling was willing to sacrifice a little bit of beauty, mainly because she had a good feeling about the elegant and handsome Xu Zhenxing.

If she was really in her seventies, she would never have acted on it.

The result of the test.

Yun Ling was first briefly surprised by nervousness, and then there was an inexplicable hint of faint loss.

"Well, I have understood."

Lu Chang'an nodded and put away the purple jade pendant.

"There's nothing to do, you go back."

Glancing at the hesitant Yun Ling, Lu Chang'an sent him away.

Dangdang!

As the young girl's back was about to disappear in front of the courtyard entrance, a movement came from Lu Changan's Spiritual Pet Pouch.

The Xuan Shui Turtle let out a protest.

It wanted to come out to meet and play with Yun Ling, but Lu Chang'an did not agree.

"You lazy bastard, you want to rebel?"

"A mere shape-changing technique, you haven't even learned it, and you still want to renew your relationship?"

Lu Changan reprimanded and spat.

Inside the Spiritual Pet Bag, the Xuan Shui Turtle had a blearily aggrieved expression, spitting bubbles from its mouth.

The Xuan Shui Turtle has a lazy character and is not enterprising.

Unlike the ground rock rat, diligent research, the year in the Royal Beast Zhou family further training, very early to learn the "easy shape art", including some of the demonic beasts fighting skills, secret techniques.

The Yellow Wolf's trophies of the Royal Beast's heritage, the secret knowledge of training pets, do not need Lu Chang'an to urge, the ground rock rat to train itself.

......

Lu Chang'an flew out of the market and followed the location marked in the jade pendant to a mountainous forest area on the northwest side of the oasis.

Before settling down, the jade pendant in his hand was flowing with purple crystal patterns.

Buzz!

Near the mountain forest, transparent white glitter flashed in the void.

Abruptly, a manor that covered dozens of acres of land with ancient colors was reflected in Lu Chang'an's field of vision.

The third-order illusion formation that enveloped this place distorted the senses of the Divine Sense.

Even the use of the Sumeru Spell made the manor, which covered dozens of acres of land, actually cover a few acres of land on the River Source Oasis.

"A small cranny, but there are other holes in the sky."

Lu Chang'an looked at the scenery in the manor, the periphery had a garden of herbs and spirit trees, beautiful purples and reds. Inside, there are mountains and water, pools and water pavilions, and winding paths.

It is a quiet and elegant private dojo.

One of the small spiritual veins, the spiritual pressure emanating from it could barely reach the third rank, obviously cultivated after birth. "Real Xu, Mister Duan has been waiting for a long time at the Landscape Manor."

In front of the public hall of the manor's water view, sitting on a plate was a wide-robed elder in his fifties with a blonde figure.

This person laughed aloud and waved his wide sleeves.

The formation of the Landscape Manor opened a void gate, inviting Lu Chang'an to enter.

From the fluctuation of dan power, this mysterious old man with the surname Duan was at least a True Dan cultivator, or even more than just an early stage of dan formation.

If it was an ordinary False Pill cultivator, he might not dare to rush in.

If you don't dare to go in, you will be looked down upon by the other party, and the matter of introduction will probably end there.

"Huh? So it's this grandson!"

Lu Chang'an's eyes narrowed slightly as he took a quick look. Even though the appearance of the broad-robed elder's appearance had been adjusted, the mana aura could not be faked.

It wasn't that he was cursing in his heart.

This "Duan surname" elder with JieDan cultivation is the fourth generation's own grandson.

"I've kept Elder Duan waiting."

Lu Chang'an hesitated for a moment and looked around, this place was not an isolated dojo.

He took a deep breath and flew into the Landscape Manor.

Seeing Lu Chang'an's cautious expression in his eyes, the elder surnamed Duan smiled with a slightly approving smile.

Half a year before that, he had investigated the origins of Real Xu, who was rumored to have been robbed and killed over at the Scorpion Desolate City.

The next time, he appeared in the River Origin Oasis in poverty.

"Please take a seat, Realizer Xu, if you have any doubts, you can ask."

Elder Duan lifted his sleeve robe lightly and transformed into a futon.

In front of the water pavilion, the two of them sat opposite each other.

"The third-order spirit vein here seems to have been successfully cultivated not long ago, I wonder how many real people can be accommodated for cultivation."

Lu Chang'an asked the question of concern.

"A small third-order spirit vein dojo is suitable for one true dan cultivator, plus some foundation building and qi refining junior subordinates to cultivate without any pressure."

"If two True Dan cultivators were to cultivate at the same time, it would be slightly forced. But underneath this Spirit Vein Dojo, there is also a third-order Spirit Gathering Array. If one invests spirit stones over a long period of time, allowing two or three True Dan cultivators to practice at the same time would not be a big problem."

Elder Duan was very patient and answered.

Lu Chang'an nodded, generally small third-order spirit veins, which favored individual dojos, could only accommodate one or two cultivators of the same rank to cultivate.

"Most of the time, Duan Mou is not in this manor dojo, and goes to various places to run business.

"If you are willing to do so, I will leave this place to you to take care of the trees and herbs. From time to time, Real Xu will help to refine some spirit pills and teach the alchemy apprentices as a reward."

"Elder Duan is relieved that Mister Xu is alone in guarding this place?"

Lu Chang'an said curiously.

In the River Origin Oasis, small third-order dojos are also a scarce strategic resource.

When other forces annex them, they can be used to pull in True Dan offerings.

If there is a highly skillful array vein master, they can even be relocated to their own third-order vein and merged to grow.

A False Pill Realist guarding a newly cultivated small 3rd level dojo and taking care of the spirit trees and herbs doesn't sound so reliable.
