Unfortunately, Xiao Yang did not have much material on hand right now. Otherwise, he really wanted to refine a few Puppets to play with.
It was not that he had no materials at all; he mainly lacked materials for high-level Puppets.
At most, the items on him could only be used to refine Dou Ling Puppets.
Moreover, he had neither a Fourth-order Magical Beast nor the corpse of a Dou Ling expert.
Directly using four Magical Cores and Special Metal for refinement would be far too wasteful.
He silently made a note of it.
If he killed anyone in the future, it would be best to preserve both their soul and body intact.
That way, he could make use of their remains and refine them into Puppets.
Moreover, the Compendium of Puppet Refinement contained a particularly special kind of puppet.
It was specifically made for Soul Bodies.
For instance, Elder Yao could use such a puppet.
The materials required for this kind of puppet were mainly certain Special Metals and the Physical Bodies of humans or Magical Beasts.
Its combat power was not particularly strong. Its main purpose was to give the souls of experts who had lost their bodies a place to reside.
If it was made with a special metal—Soul Gold Essence—it could even nourish a soul.
Unfortunately, Soul Gold Essence was extremely rare.
There was another kind of puppet that could even help a Soul Body revive!
It was mainly refined using the corpses of experts and Magical Cores as materials.
After a soul took up residence within it, it would feel somewhat unaccustomed at first.
However, as time passed, the puppet would merge with the soul and become a true living person.
Of course, it still could not compare to Elder Yao's method of direct resurrection.
