Yi Huang's Plans
Inside the enclosed space, a figure was manipulating the flames in his hands, occasionally stepping forward to tap and tinker with them.
Finally...
"Mission accomplished!"
Looking at the puppet before him, Xiao Han's face lit up with joy. "Although it only has the strength of Two-Star Dou Sheng, it's still quite usable!"
Most importantly...
This puppet is quite beautiful; its crimson body is covered with blue and silver patterns, shimmering with light and appearing extremely gorgeous.
It can be said that this Two-Star Dou Sheng level Battle Puppet is the pinnacle of Xiao Han's comprehension of the inheritance.
It not only incorporated the life experience of the Dou Sheng of the Ten Thousand Puppets Sect, but also added Xiao Han's own understanding of different powers, successfully integrating Xiao Han's Heavenly Ice Power and the power of the Exotic Fire into one, thus achieving this effect.
"It's time to go out!" Xiao Han looked around. The entire secret room was filled with all kinds of puppets standing solemnly, from ordinary Dou Zong to Peak Dou Zun and even Half-Saint level, all with their eyes closed, waiting for the puppet master to choose them.
However, when his gaze shifted to the pile of waste materials generated from the creation of the puppet in the corner, Xiao Han's expression darkened.
He secretly pondered whether he should try to get rid of this junk at a discount. After all, it was high-grade material before, and even if it was ruined, it was still much better than the low-grade goods on the market.
After storing all the puppets in his Storage Ring, Xiao Han waved his sleeve, and the dusty door to the secret chamber suddenly opened, revealing a white figure that darted out instantly.
Inside the study of the Pavilion Master of the Langya Pavilion, a gentle and beautiful figure sat quietly at the desk, meticulously handling official documents.
Her brows furrowed slightly from time to time, as if she had encountered some difficulties. She put down her pen, rubbed her temples, and said, "Puppet Saint, pour some tea!"
Then a fair hand placed the tea in front of Yi Huang. Without thinking, she took it and drank a sip.
Then, startled, before Yi Huang could react, she heard a hearty laugh.
"Huang'er, you're not vigilant enough!" Xiao Han teased Yi Huang under her embarrassed and annoyed gaze.
"You've emerged from seclusion? What did you gain?" Yi Huang asked coldly.
She was initially happy to see Xiao Han emerge from seclusion, but the "surprise" Yi Huang gave her immediately ruined her mood.
Yeah, this month we'll make this guy sleep on the floor!
No, let's do it this week...
Xiao Han quietly watched as Yi Huang's expression changed continuously before slowly returning to normal.
Once Yi Huang came to her senses, Xiao Han displayed dozens of puppets as if presenting a treasure, with the most prominent one being Xiao Han masterpiece.
As she gazed at the numerous puppets that had suddenly appeared before her, Yi Huang's eyes sparkled with a strange light. She even reached out to touch and feel the puppet at the very front, which was of extremely high appearance and was at the level of Two-Star Dou Sheng.
"How are these puppets? Can they be mass-produced?" Yi Huang asked Xiao Han with a hint of excitement.
As the de facto manager of the Langya Pavilion, Yi Huang immediately thought of the most important thing the moment she saw these puppets.
If such puppets could be mass-produced, the number of powerful figures in the Langya Pavilion could surge to a terrifying number in a short period of time.
At that time, Xiao Han's original plan to destroy Shadow Prison would no longer be a mirage; it could be completely overwhelmed by sheer numbers of powerful individuals.
However, Xiao Han shook his head with a slight sense of disappointment. "That's impossible."
These puppets at the Dou Zun and Dou Zong levels are relatively easy to produce; with sufficient materials, mass production is somewhat possible.
"But that Dou Sheng Puppet is almost unique. If it weren't for the support of your Wind Fury Dragon Flame Child Flame and the Dou Qi in my body, it would only be at the level of Half-Saint."
Xiao Han paused for a moment. "Furthermore, the production cost of this puppet is extremely high, no less than that of cultivating a powerhouse of the same level, and even somewhat exceeding it. All the materials you collected for me, all the results are here."
"The only advantage is that, given enough resources, we can create a large number of powerful individuals in a short period of time."
Xiao Han spoke casually, but Yi Huang was slightly pleased. She didn't care about what Xiao Han said about the inability to mass-produce Dou Sheng Puppet.
If these puppets could be mass-produced, the Ten Thousand Puppets Sect would probably have dominated the continent instead of just being a relatively powerful sect.
But as long as enough Dou Zun and Dou Zong puppets can be created, that will be sufficient.
"How about I handle these puppets below the Dou Sheng level?" Yi Huang asked expectantly.
Xiao Han had no objection. These puppets were of no use to him; he could destroy them all with a single move, which would serve as a facade for the Langya Pavilion.
"What do you want to do with these puppets?" Xiao Han asked out of curiosity.
Yi Huang didn't hide anything, and said with a smile, "Of course it's an auction!"
"Auction?" Xiao Han was taken aback. Did their Langya Pavilion even offer this service?
Seeing Xiao Han's utterly bewildered expression, Yi Huang couldn't help but chuckle. She then explained the situation to him, and as she listened to her explanation, Yi Huang Xiao Han's lips twitched slightly.
This is getting bigger and bigger... the business scope of their Langya Pavilion is really expanding.
Xiao Han went into seclusion for nearly three years, and during this time, Langya Pavilion certainly did more than just sit idly by.
On the contrary, the commotion caused by the Langya Pavilion during this period has been quite significant.
In short, in order to transform some of the surplus resources in its hands into resources that would benefit its strength, Langya Pavilion directly integrated the commercial channels that were previously controlled by the Langya Pavilion and its subordinate forces, forming a large-scale Chamber of Commerce.
Thanks to its strong backing and abundant resources, the Langya Merchant Guild has developed smoothly.
However, Yi Huang is not satisfied with the low-end market. In order to make Langya Pavilion bigger and stronger and create new glories, she is now planning to occupy a place in the high-end market.
In terms of strength, Langya Pavilion is certainly capable enough, which is also its greatest guarantee of military power.
After all, after years of development, the Central Plains market is almost saturated, and various forces have intertwined, forming a complex network of interests.
Any small, ordinary faction that dares to get involved will encounter some unexpected events the next day and simply disappear without a trace.
However, these things are naturally no problem for the Langya Pavilion.
But Yi Huang wasn't content with just that; she wanted to make Langya Pavilion a "leading enterprise"!
From being a force that abides by the rules to the force that makes the rules.
However, to reach this level, force alone is no longer sufficient; it requires a strong foundation of influence and prestige.
Unfortunately, these things require time to accumulate, and among the major powers in Central Plains, Langya Pavilion is a typical "infant"!
Therefore, Yi Huang had no choice but to choose some special methods to quickly open up the market.
However, Langya Pavilion does not have much of an advantage in conventional goods. For example, in the elixir market, the Pill Tower is the leader, while other forces can only dabble in the scraps.
Weapons, equipment, and other resources are all dominated by their respective professional forces. For the Langya Pavilion, an outsider, to challenge them is simply overestimating its own abilities.
However, the Battle Puppet provided by Xiao Han solved this problem very easily.
What's most important in the Fierce Qi Continent? Strength!
Central Plains has many families or forces that have declined. Although they lack strong members due to various reasons, they are still very wealthy due to the legacy of their ancestors.
Their only worry is the channels for cultivating strong individuals.
Thus, puppets at the Dou Zong or even Dou Zun level are excellent tools for murder, robbery, and guarding homes.
Yi Huang seemed to see a blue ocean market beckoning to her.
"So, you plan to auction off these Battle Puppet to drive market activity?"
Xiao Han asked. He was somewhat worried that Yi Huang's actions might incur public wrath; snatching money from others was no easy task!
"That's right..." Yi Huang was about to say something more when suddenly...
"Reporting to the Deputy Pavilion Master, Heavenly Sound Old Man has come to pay a visit!" someone said from outside the door.
"And..."
"Come in and speak!" Yi Huang's voice was full of authority.
"Yes!"
When the Langya Pavilion disciple entered, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Han out of the corner of his eye and was about to bow when the latter waved his hand slightly to stop him.
"You said Heavenly Sound Old Man came to visit? And what?" Yi Huang asked dignifiedly.
The disciple hesitated for a moment. "Senior Tianyin's expression isn't very pleasant; she seems somewhat angry..."
"Hmm?" Xiao Han and the other exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes. Langya Pavilion and Sound Valley had a very good relationship, so why would the other party come to their door in such a fit of anger?
"Tell me more details!" Yi Huang decided to find out what was going on. Could it be that someone was being two-faced?
