So this was what it meant to be a Puppet Master!
Li Chen could not help letting out a laughing sigh.
He finally understood why Puppet Masters were so eager to share their skills, rather than treasure their own shabby brooms.
Take the Mu Household, for instance. With such a pillar industry and core expertise in their hands, would they rather see Blood-Transforming Pools become widespread and compete with all the other ways of obtaining energy, or treat them as a secret, keeping them hidden and refusing to show anyone?
The answer went without saying.
The more this path flourished, the higher the Mu Household's standing would rise, and the easier it would become for them to obtain all kinds of raw materials.
A vast market, generous profits, and opportunities for growth would follow.
By contrast, obscure industries and uncommon spirit materials attracted no interest at all. It took tremendous effort just to sustain one's cultivation and advancement.
Besides, even if they wanted to treasure their own shabby brooms, they could not.
The Creation Sect had compiled the Complete Book of the Puppet Master Order and spread its teachings throughout the world precisely to gain more fellow practitioners and contend with other Dao paths.
If they did not develop, others would, leaving them isolated and backward.
It was only because they had yet to grasp all the mysteries of the Zombie Refining Secret Art, and their profits had not reached the point where they could give up charging for the Blood-Transforming Pools themselves, that they held back. Otherwise, they might well have offered the techniques for free and coaxed Li Chen into installing more.
"Unless someone hunts vast numbers of demons continuously in places like the Star Sea, an ordinary person simply can't sustain this kind of expenditure on materials."
