Top-grade Spirit Stones! A Fortune!
Outside the giant gate.
Shuoxing's figure materialized beside the group.
"Xuan Chen, the two puppets inside are of Fifth-Grade Mid-Rank."
Over time, the Puppet Core energy dwindled, and it suffered severe overall damage.
Judging from the blow they delivered that killed Wang Qingrou, their strength was equivalent to the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen's eyes lit up.
"Fifth-Grade Mid-Rank!"
Does that mean that the two puppets at their peak were comparable to Spirit Transformation Venerable?
Shuoxing nodded, "Theoretically speaking, that's true, but if the puppets were to fight, they would be no match for the cultivators if they were of the same level."
It might be able to suppress it temporarily, but given enough time, the cultivators will inevitably find an opportunity to destroy it.
After all, puppets are immune to pain and only know how to fight, kill, and obey orders mindlessly.
This is both their greatest strength and their greatest weakness.
"Haha, that's enough." Zhang Xuanchen laughed loudly, his eyes shining as he looked at the giant gate.
"Could it be that this time, my Zhang Family is about to obtain a high-level puppetry inheritance?"
If that's true.
"What a glorious thing it would be to assemble an army of puppets that fear neither death nor pain!"
"Great Sage, Wuxin, Little Peach, Brother, Old Ancestor, you can just watch from the sidelines later."
"The two puppets inside the giant gate can be left to me and the Immortal Ancestor."
After saying this, Zhang Xuanchen stopped talking and activated his Divine Dragon Tyrant Body and Starry Body.
Its entire upper body was covered in golden Dragon Scale.
Starlight adorns the Dragon Scale.
It looked sacred and majestic.
Their momentum was several times greater than before.
It's no exaggeration to say that Zhang Xuanchen in this state could hold his own against even Nascent Soul Early Stage.
He pushed open the giant door.
A musty, Decay smell wafted over me.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Xuanchen rushed in.
Two pairs of eyes, one red and one purple, opened in the darkness.
"Intruder, die!"
The moment the sound rang out, a giant crimson fist hurtled straight toward Zhang Xuanchen.
The sharp force of the punch, accompanied by a whooshing sound, made Zhang Xuanchen's cheeks slightly itchy.
"Good timing!"
Zhang Xuanchen let out a low shout and threw a punch.
It clashed head-on with that crimson giant fist.
Click! Click!
The ground could not bear the weight and cracks appeared everywhere.
A terrifying shockwave spread outwards.
Bang!
Zhang Xuanchen and the six-meter-tall crimson figure retreated a hundred meters simultaneously!
I felt a slight numbness in my fist.
He swore:
"Holy crap, this guy's ruthless!"
Even though it's so damaged, it's still so strong!
Just then, Zhang Xuanchen felt a chill run down his spine.
Immediately afterwards, a dark purple sword blade slashed towards Zhang Xuanchen's back.
"Snort!"
Zhang Chongxian snorted coldly, flicked his finger, and the Evil-Breaking Sword immediately appeared behind Zhang Xuanchen.
Bang.
With a crisp sound, the dark blue blade was instantly deflected.
Zhang Chongxian's voice then rang out:
"No wonder the Wang Family has been here for so many years without ever obtaining a core fortuitous opportunity."
One of these two puppets is a heavy-armored, strength-based type.
One is a speed-oriented assassin; when combined with the other, even Nascent Soul Early Stage of cultivation would perish here.
Not to mention the Golden Core.
"Haha, that's perfect! Bring these two guys back to the Lineage, and my Zhang Family will directly gain two more Nascent Soul warriors."
If it can be repaired, then one must be Spirit Transformation Venerable.
Zhang Xuanchen, his face filled with excitement, continued:
"Shuoxing, can you find out the weaknesses of those two guys?"
"It would be a huge loss if we just destroyed it."
"Yes." Shuoxing hovered in the air.
His gaze swept down to the two puppets below.
He replied:
"Xuan Chen, the core of the heavily armored puppet you are facing is on the inner side of its left thigh."
Fellow Daoist, the core of that speed-attacking puppet you are facing is in the soles of its feet.
Once removed, the two puppets were no different from scrap metal.
"Receive!"
"Receive!"
Zhang Xuanchen and the other replied, and to save time, Shuoxing followed Zhang Xuanchen's spiritual energy.
It runs directly.
Specks of starlight surrounded the two puppets, slowing them down.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Xuanchen and his companion used their movement Movement Method to overturn the two puppets to the ground.
Open the hidden door and take out a round Spirit Power Core.
The two puppets then collapsed to the ground, no longer moving.
The Great Sage and his companions entered the hall and surrounded the puppet, examining it closely.
Zhang Xuanchen looked at the core in his hand.
After sensing it for a moment, he said:
"These are Spirit Stone?"
"Not bad." Shuoxing looked at the two Spirit Power Core and said:
"These two round crystals are formed by compressing Top-grade Spirit Stone."
And the quantity is not small.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for these two puppets to still be able to unleash combat power comparable to that of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Zhang Xuanchen fiddled with the crystal core for a moment, then asked, "Can we compress this thing?"
"Yes, but these two puppets are of a high grade, and their spiritual energy is consumed very quickly."
The Spirit Power Core compressed from ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stone probably won't last more than half an hour.
"So fast!"
The sheer quantity and the timing of this event truly startled Zhang Xuanchen.
But thinking about it, it makes sense.
Ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stone can hire a Nascent Soul fighter who can sustain himself for half an hour.
It's a steal!
Looking at the Spirit Power Core in his hand, he said softly:
"It seems we'll need a lot of Mid-grade Spirit Stone to keep these two working for an extended period."
He then turned and looked into the depths of the dimly lit palace, at the hundreds of treasure chests covered in dust.
Store the puppet and its core in the Myriad Spirit Ring.
He rubbed his hands together as he approached, saying, "Let's go, let's go."
Let's see what's inside these boxes.
Upon approaching, Zhang Xuanchen saw that each treasure chest was engraved with the four characters "Spirit Puppet Sacred Sect".
"As expected, it is a legacy left behind by a sect that specializes in crafting puppets."
Quickly check if there's any lineage related to puppetry.
If so, it proves that these two Fifth-grade puppets have the potential to be repaired.
He continued, after confirming that it was safe.
Open a treasure chest directly.
It wasn't filled with rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but rather with Spirit Stone —a whole box of Spirit Stone.
However, the quality and concentration of spiritual energy far exceed that of Mid-grade Spirit Stone.
It is crystal clear and has a deep blue color.
"These are Top-grade Spirit Stone?"
Shuoxing nodded. "It's definitely Top-grade Spirit Stone."
It wasn't just Zhang Xuanchen who opened the treasure chests containing Top-grade Spirit Stone.
Zhang Chongxian, Zhang Xuanbing, and the others were in the same situation.
Zhang Xuanchen was not sad at all; on the contrary, he was a little excited.
"Quickly, keep driving."
If we have enough Top-grade Spirit Stone, the Spirit Vein of my Xuanxiao Mountain might be able to advance to the Fourth-tier Upper-grade in one step.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chongxian and the others sped up opening the boxes.
Fifteen minutes later.
Only one giant box remained unopened at the scene.
The remaining 118 small boxes were all opened.
There are fifty boxes of Top-grade Spirit Stone in total, with one thousand stones in each box.
A total of 50,000 Top-grade Spirit Stone were obtained.
They made a fortune.
We can't use it all, we simply can't use it all!
Besides Spirit Stone, the other boxes also contained spirit medicine and pills.
However, all of them turned to ashes under the ravages of time.
Then came the Spirit Puppet Sacred Sect Puppetcraft Legacy.
Its grade is as high as seventh rank.
There are also over a thousand high-level Cultivation Method Law Technique.
The remaining items are high-grade ores, crystal cores, and Demon Beast bones.
These are all materials used to craft high-level puppets.
