Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 66: Leaving the Valley (First Part)
"Special thanks to the brothers who rewarded me, thank you. Brothers who like this book can join group 138056281."
"Has it succeeded?" Yue Cheng muttered to himself, and at the same time, his hands were constantly changing into various hand seals, and a series of mysterious incantations were also infused into the bodies of the five puppets. After half an hour, Yue Cheng's face turned extremely pale.
After stuffing two Rebirth Pills into his mouth, Yue Cheng didn't dare to stop now, as he had reached the most critical moment in refining the Golden Immortal Puppet. If he made a mistake, all his previous efforts would be wasted. As Yue Cheng chanted his incantation, the five puppets' bodies emitted an increasingly dense green aura, their entire bodies turning a deep green color, and one could faintly sense that there was a thread of power flowing within each puppet's body.
The handprint changed, and a burst of green light suddenly shot out from the center of Yue Cheng's eyebrows. This green light split into five strands just as it was about to reach the five puppets, transforming into fine threads that merged into the center of the five puppets' eyebrows.
The green awn shot out by Yue Cheng was a soul force, after injecting his own soul force into the minds of the five puppets, unless Yue Cheng died, the five golden immortal puppets would never betray Yue Cheng.
"Rise!" Yue Cheng shouted, his hands changing seals once more. Five sturdy, azure puppets stood up, standing neatly in front of Yue Cheng. Looking at the five Golden Immortal Puppets, a hint of excitement flashed across Yue Cheng's eyes. With these five Golden Immortal Puppets, even if he were to face a one-star or two-star Dou Ling high-ranking expert, he would be able to confront them head-on. And when the Golden Immortal Puppets evolved to the level of Gui Puppets, even Dou Huang cultivation base experts wouldn't be taken seriously by him anymore.
The current Golden Immortal Puppet is only the lowest level of human puppet. After absorbing enough lightning power, the Golden Immortal Puppet will evolve to the level of Ghost Puppet. Yue Cheng couldn't help but feel some anticipation in his heart. In his previous life, he had too few magical artifacts on his body, so he was no match for the thunderclap.
In this life, Yue Cheng can learn to be clever and must refine more magical artifacts in his hands. He also needs to cultivate some power, but during his time in Huaxia, he was lazy all his life, so he never cultivated any power. He had an opponent whose cultivation was slightly lower than his own, but because the opponent had a powerful force at his disposal, Yue Cheng could not do anything about it every time they clashed.
Establishing his own power, Yue Cheng had already been thinking about it for a long time. However, his current cultivation was still too low, and he couldn't recruit any top-notch experts. Yue Cheng didn't want the people in his faction to be useless trash. He planned to recruit his followers from the Dou Qi Academy, where everyone was a rare talent, handpicked from thousands of miles away. Only such talents were worthy of following him.
No matter whether it's for himself or the Yue family, a strong power is needed to protect them, especially the Yue family. Since Yue Cheng has obtained his current body, he is already a member of the Yue family, and since he has also received the Yue family's Dou Emperor Dragon Vein, Yue Cheng must repay the Yue family. If he were to stay on the Xuan Tian Continent forever, the Yue family would naturally be safe under his care, but if one day he were to ascend, the Yue family would need a strong power to protect them. Therefore, Yue Cheng must make preparations for everything as soon as possible, which is also why he agreed to go to the Dou Qi Academy.
If the people of Dou Qi Academy knew that someone had entered Dou Qi Academy just to cultivate their own power, I wonder what those people would think.
After putting the five golden immortal puppets into his spatial storage bag, Yue Cheng was somewhat depressed to find that his spatial storage bag was almost full. During his time in Huaxia, Yue Cheng's storage ring was one he had refined himself, and its internal space was tens of thousands of square meters, so he didn't need to worry about this issue at all. After coming to the Xuantian Continent, Yue Cheng hadn't been in a hurry to exchange for new storage rings or spatial storage equipment, precisely because he was waiting until after he broke through to the Fetal Breath period, when his soul force would be able to refine some better magical equipment. At that time, refining a spatial ring for himself would be many times better than those on the Xuantian Continent.
After several cycles of Qigong and breath adjustment, Yue Cheng recovered his true energy and immediately condensed the Supreme True Fire on his hands again. Next, Yue Cheng still needs to refine some elixirs and other things for future emergencies. Among them, Yue Cheng also plans to refine a Beast Containment Circle, and the materials are already prepared in the Sima family's materials.
The Beast-Taming Circle is a magical artifact used to subdue some demonic beasts and divine beasts. During the Huaxia era, Yue Cheng had a divine beast mount with strength equivalent to that of a Second-Order Transcendent cultivator, but it took him a lot of effort to tame it. In the Xuantian Continent, Yue Cheng also hoped to have the opportunity to capture a high-ranking magical beast as his own mount. Last time in the unnamed mountain range, Yue Cheng saw the Qingjin Lion and wanted to tame it as his own mount.
Yue Cheng had no choice but to give up, firstly because his own cultivation was still too low and he couldn't subdue the Qing Jin Lion at all. Moreover, Yue Cheng wasn't very interested in a single Qing Jin Lion. After all, his cultivation would increase rapidly soon. A fifth or sixth-tier magic beast like the Qing Jin Lion wasn't satisfactory to Yue Cheng; his mount had to be at least an eighth or ninth-tier high-tier magic beast to be worthy of him. At that time, he could think of a way to help it evolve into a Sacred Domain, only such a mount would be worthy of him.
In these three months of closed-door training, Yue Cheng naturally refined the things he needed to use. Of course, some better things Yue Cheng could only wait until he broke through to the fetal breathing period to refine. The soul power that he can currently use cannot be refined, even with a super realm as a backing it is not possible.
Book group number: 138056281. Brothers who like it can add one.
However, it can also be inferred that what Yue Cheng wants to refine must have a powerful force.
"It's time to go out." Yue Cheng calculated the time and it should be close to the day of the Alchemy Master Competition. If he didn't leave now, he believed that the people from the Sima family would start to get anxious. After tidying up everything, Yue Cheng removed the seal at the entrance of the cave and walked out of the secret room.
After three months of closed retreat, apart from successfully refining the Golden Immortal Puppet, what made Yue Cheng most delighted was that his own cultivation strength had actually reached the peak of the Open Illumination Later Stage, and it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the Fetal Breathing Stage.
"Brother-in-law, Miss asked you to go find her as soon as you leave the pass." As soon as Yue Cheng left the secret room, a clever and agile maid came up to him and said.
"Brother-in-law..." Yue Cheng didn't react for a moment, then realized the maid was calling him. It seemed that everyone in the Sima family considered him to be Sima Yanran's fiancé, and no one suspected anything.
"Alright, lead the way." Yue Cheng said lightly, it seemed that Sima Yanran had someone guarding outside the secret room, and as soon as he came out, she would know.
In a moment, under the guidance of the clever maid, Yue Cheng arrived at Sima Yanran's boudoir. The room was no different from the first time he came three months ago, and the only change might be that Sima Yanran in the room had become even more beautiful than before.
"My fiancée, what did you call me here for?" Yue Cheng's eyes swept over Sima Yanran's curvaceous figure as soon as he entered the door. Today, Sima Yanran was wearing a green ancient costume, and the high and proud twin peaks on her chest made Yue Cheng swallow a mouthful of saliva uncontrollably. Since being with Murong Xiaoxiao, Yue Cheng had also developed an uncontainable desire in this aspect.
"Shut up." Sima Yanran stared at Yue Cheng for a moment, feeling that his eyes were fixed on her sensitive areas, but surprisingly, she didn't feel any disgust, only a complex feeling in her eyes. She said, "Tomorrow is the day of the Alchemist Grand Prix, how's your preparation going?"
Yue Cheng smiled and said, "I'll do my best." But in his heart, he wasn't worried at all. His current cultivation had already reached the peak of the late stage of opening brightness, and the soul power he could control was also stronger by a thread. He estimated that even the so-called low-grade elixir of the fifth rank, he should be able to refine it himself.
On the Xuantian Continent, Yan Yuchen had refined many elixirs but never consumed them because they were far inferior to his own. Although he could only refine some lower-grade elixirs now, those on the Xuantian Continent were all supposedly fourth or fifth-grade existences.
"This time, I heard that there are also several other contestants who are fourth-grade alchemists. You should be more careful." Sima Yanran stared at Yue Cheng again. Then Sima Yanran also told Yue Cheng some rules of the competition and what happened in the past few months, so that Yue Cheng would have a rough idea.
Several hours later, Yue Cheng finally left Sima Yanran's room. In Sima Yanran's words, Yue Cheng also had a new understanding of Zuo Xing Island. As for this Alchemist Grand Prix, Yue Cheng didn't take it to heart, and the pressure on himself wasn't that great.
The once-in-a-decade Alchemist Grand Prix is finally about to begin, and countless spectators have already arrived at the venue where the Alchemist Grand Prix will be held.
The Alchemy Table is located on a super-large island to the left of Zuoxing Island, this island does not have ups and downs like other islands, but floats flatly on the sea surface, with an area that can accommodate nearly 100,000 people, and can't help but admire the wonders of nature.
The Alchemist Island is jointly managed by the three major families, and every time the Alchemist Grand Prix is held, the ticket revenue of 100,000 people is also a considerable income for the five major powers. This time's Alchemist Grand Prix ticket price has increased from one gold coin in the previous session to two gold coins, and many people have already bought tickets at three gold coins. The front row seats were even sold for dozens of gold coins.
This is mainly because there are five fourth-grade alchemists participating in this competition at the same time, and the five fourth-grade alchemists are also representing the five major forces of Zuoxing Island. Some small families and small forces have been paying attention to this alchemist competition several months ago, so as not to stand on the wrong team.
Some small families and forces are completely attached to the five major forces. The actual forces on the Left Star Island are like a complex spider web. Due to the recent decline of the Sima family, some small families and forces that were originally attached to the Sima family have chosen to leave.
