Puppet Beasts
After closing the door, Shi Yue entered Palm Heaven Space.
He reached for the Storage Bag at his waist, and a square wooden box appeared in his hand. He tapped it with one hand, and the lid sprang open, revealing a golden iron lock: the Soul Suppressing Lock.
Refining a magic artifact was actually a matter of leaving one's mark inside it with one's Essence Blood, using a mysterious method. This made it easier to wield and prevented others from stealing it.
Once a magic artifact had been refined, it could be controlled by attaching one's spiritual sense to it.
Shi Yue tossed the Soul Suppressing Lock forward, letting it float in midair. He murmured an incantation, his fingers quickly forming Hand Seals.
Before long, he stopped chanting and spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood. It sank into the golden iron lock floating in midair. Immediately afterward, he struck the golden iron lock with several Hand Seals.
The next moment, the golden iron lock blazed with light. Densely packed Golden Runes appeared across its surface, flashed wildly several times, then vanished.
Shi Yue beckoned with one hand, and the Soul Suppressing Lock fell into his palm. He put it around his neck, then tucked it beneath his clothes to keep anyone from recognizing it.
From the outside, others would at most know he was wearing something, but not what it was.
Shi Yue's expression shifted. He took two Black Round Balls and a Black Jade Slip out of his Storage Bag.
The two Black Round Balls were Puppet Beasts. As for the Green Jade Slip, it recorded the method for refining puppets and had been given to him by the auction house.
Shi Yue infused the two Black Round Beads with magic power, then tossed them forward.
