♂?，，

  The door was opened, revealing a pale face in blue clothes. He stared at Lie Teng and said nervously, "Qing... Qing Yun brother... that skeleton..."

  "Are you still here? Do I have a use for you?" Lie Teng's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he spoke in a low voice.

  "Is Brother Qingyun going to take the skeleton? It's still here." Qingyi heard Lie Teng's words, his facial expression changed, and he rushed into the room, carrying out the skeleton. Lie Teng measured the six-foot-long skeleton, as well as the broken step tied to its right leg, and suddenly thought of when Qingyi had received the bones, his heart softened, and he took over the skeleton, looking at Qingyi and saying: "Go cultivate, I'll try to refine a puppet." After speaking, he carried the skeleton to the small courtyard, sat down cross-legged.

  "Brother Qingyun, can I watch from the side?" Qingyi walked out of the room and came to Lie Teng's back, saying timidly. These days, Lie Teng's transformation made Qingyi feel that Qingyun was no longer as violent as before, and his courage had also increased.

  Lie Teng nodded, then closed his eyes to recall the secrets of "Lian Gui Shu". He muttered to himself, and as he did, his hands formed various complex hand seals. With each sentence, a dark glow appeared in his hands, which was absorbed into the bones. This process repeated ninety-nine times, until Lie Teng finally let out a sigh of relief, having consumed nearly half of his spiritual energy. He opened his eyes, looked at the bones in front of him, and after a moment's hesitation, pointed forward and said: "Attack that tree." But the bones didn't move, which caused Lie Teng's eyebrows to furrow slightly.

  "Heh..." The green-robed man couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, and after Lieteng turned his head around, he quickly composed himself and stuck out his tongue. Lieteng looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked: "Green Robes, what are you laughing about? Isn't this how a first-rate puppet is refined?"

  "Brother Qingyun, you're too careless. If you don't leave a mark of fresh blood on the puppet, how can it listen to you?" Qingyi said with a sly smile, her big eyes wide open. If it were before, Qingyi wouldn't have dared to speak like this, but for some reason, she felt that Qingyun had changed after being seriously injured and wasn't as violent as he used to be.

  Lieteng was taken aback by the words, recalling that there was such a process in the "Puppet Refining Technique", but he had ignored it. Now that he thought about it, he realized that this was the most crucial step in refining a first-level puppet. Immediately, Lieteng closed his eyes again and began to recite incantations, forming hand seals until he reached ninety-nine seals. Then, he quickly stood up, bit open his finger, and let out a drop of fresh blood, which he pressed onto the skull's forehead.

  "A humming noise... The sound of ripples rose, and a ripple suddenly spread out from the skeleton's body. The seal that Lie Teng had previously applied to it faintly reappeared, transforming into dense, ancient characters that wrapped around the skeleton's body, gradually merging with it. Lie Teng only felt that something had suddenly appeared in his mind, and with a thought, he commanded the skeleton to attack a tree outside the small courtyard."

  Only to see the skeletal body slowly moved, walking towards the small courtyard door, but his right foot was somewhat weak, walking with a limp, although comical, but Lie Teng's heart was overjoyed. This skeleton, although crippled, was the first true first-class puppet he had refined. Lie Teng glanced at Qing Yi and said: "Qing Yi, repair its leg, from now on, the small courtyard will be handed over to you for cleaning, just cultivate well."

  The girl in blue nodded slightly, her bright eyes looking at Qingyun, tears slowly welling up, and she said softly: "Yes, Brother Qingyun."

  Lieteng didn't say much, and hurriedly walked into the room, memorizing the method of refining second-level and third-level puppets in his mind. Sitting on the bed, Lieteng thought back to the scene and process of his previous refinement, and gradually discovered a clue. He thought to himself: "This puppet can move because of my hand seal, and the hand seal consumes spiritual power, which means that the hand seal contains spiritual power. It's actually the spiritual power that makes the puppet move. However, the hand seal shouldn't be underestimated either, it should also contain some unknown power. The fresh blood merging into the bones is to establish a connection between the bones and myself, allowing them to listen to my commands. Could it be that the puppet relies on its own spiritual power to sustain itself? No wonder the higher one's cultivation level, the stronger the puppet becomes." Lieteng thought this, and then let out a breath. The world of cultivation is indeed full of wonders, and this puppet technique is definitely worth studying carefully. Later on, it will surely become a great help to him.

  His cultivation had reached the level of gathering spirit, allowing him to introspect. This undoubtedly brought great benefits to Lie Teng's practice of the "Refining Soul Path". Introspecting within his body, he found the location of the Mud Ball Palace. Lie Teng examined his own divine soul and discovered that it had transformed into a thumb-sized gray small person sitting in the Mud Ball Palace, which was indeed Lie Teng's soul. Lie Teng hesitated for a moment, then sank his mind into his soul, beginning to circulate the "Refining Soul Path".

  Lieteng's soul had already refined the soul force, which meant that Lieteng had reached the Soul Opening Period. Lieteng planned to enhance his soul force, and it would be best if he could impact the Soul Ocean. From the "Soul Refining Path", Lieteng vaguely felt that the power of the soul force was stronger than spiritual energy, and cultivating the "Soul Refining Path" could strengthen the soul, which was undoubtedly the greatest benefit. After all, ordinary cultivators who only opened up their Spiritual Ocean couldn't cultivate their soul, they could only strengthen their Mud Pill Palace to protect their soul. However, when one's cultivation reached the Dan Yuan Period, the soul would merge into the Dan Yuan, also known as being parasitic in the Dan Yuan, which was also the reason why the Dan Yuan would shatter and the soul would scatter.

  After cultivation, Lie Teng has been searching for the location of Hun Hai. Since it is Hun Hai, this position must be in the divine soul, but Lie Teng has no clue about Hun Hai and can only think of improving his soul power.

  Lieteng stopped cultivating when his soul power reached a certain level and couldn't be upgraded for the time being. With a thought, a strand of black light suddenly flew out from his right hand, piercing through the wall in front of him. Lieteng stared at the wall, momentarily stunned. After reaching the Soul Gathering stage, Lieteng's eyesight had improved significantly, and he discovered that his soul power had actually penetrated the wall, creating a small hole that was almost imperceptible. However, Lieteng clearly saw it.

  Lieteng was shocked in his heart, realizing that his soul power's attack was so powerful? He slightly lowered his head, once again mobilizing his soul power to fly out from his right hand's fingertips. Five thin black lines flew out simultaneously, heading towards the wall in front of him. Lieteng tightly stared at the wall, and suddenly saw five weak light lines floating on the surface of the wall.

  Lieteng was overjoyed in his heart, realizing that his soul power's attack was so terrifying. If he were to fight someone and punch them with his fist while using his soul power, wouldn't he be able to pierce through their body?

  However, before Lie Teng could think further, a weak feeling spread from his soul, and he let out a silent sigh. His soul power was strong, but there wasn't enough of it. At this moment, his soul could only release eight Soul Triggers, which Lie Teng had named the black threads that his soul power transformed into. After recovering his soul power, Lie Teng's gaze swept across the room, searching for a weapon, but he didn't expect the room to be empty and desolate. His divine sense stirred, and he began to search carefully. According to Qingyun's memories, his parents were both disciples of the Gui Sect who had died on a mission, leaving the sect feeling guilty. This was why they had turned a blind eye; otherwise, with Qingyun having cultivated for over ten years without even reaching the stage of gathering spirit, he would have been expelled from the Gui Sect long ago.

  Lieteng's search was in vain, and the memory of Qingyun floated in his mind, leaving him stunned. Qingyun's parents had left him a good legacy, but he had given it all to Qingdie in an attempt to please her. Lieteng sighed, thinking that Qingyun must have been spoiled since childhood to be so incompetent. However, the woman named Qingdie was not a good person either.

  At that moment, Lie Teng stood up and walked out of the room. In Qingyun's memory, he entered the Gathering Spirit Period and could obtain a low-grade spiritual sword from the Puppet Sect. As for where to get it, there was no specific location in Qingyun's memory, and it was unknown whether he simply didn't know or had forgotten.
