There's no way around it; the Yuexi Ruyi Cloak alone increased his attributes by a significant amount.
Ruyi Cloak (Golden Cesium) - Attachment: HP +50000, Defense +1000, Automatic Health Regeneration 1% per second, Cannot be damaged!
Unfortunately, as Raise Skeleton, Ling Yi can only equip weapons, shields, and costumes.
He couldn't wear any of the equipment, such as cloaks, armor, or accessories.
Even if you force your way through, it will only increase your external defense to some extent.
The surname parameter will not change.
At this moment, Yuexi held a Resurrection Stone in her hand, feeling somewhat wistful.
The Resurrection Stone that were previously so hard to obtain are now suddenly so plentiful.
"It seems that the Azure Cloud Sect has a very stable way to obtain Resurrection Stone, and Resurrection Stone shouldn't be very valuable in the Azure Cloud Sect." A hint of disgust flashed in Yuexi's eyes.
" The Azure Cloud Sect has monopolized the Resurrection Stone!"
"Monopoly?" Although Yuexi had never heard of the word "monopoly" before, it did not prevent her from understanding its meaning.
"It seems the guards won't be showing up again. We should go!"
His purpose in coming to the Wild Wilderness Mountains was to expand Yuexi's Summon slots.
Everything else is secondary.
"Do we still need to go to Taoist Venerable's Tomb?" Yuexi asked, now more eager to Resurrection her sister Yueyao.
"I will send these guards back to Woma Town. With their protection, your sister will be safe even if she Resurrection." Ling Yi naturally knew what Yuexi was thinking.
"You still don't believe me!" Yuexi pouted.
Ling Yi went to the Taoist Venerable's Tomb to help himself complete the task of expanding his Summon slots. As long as he had enough Summon slots, Ling Yi would not be eliminated even if he used other Summon skills.
Yuexi could understand, but she still felt uneasy.
Furthermore, were these guards controlled by Ling Yi sent to Woma Town to protect their sister, or to control her?
Perhaps both?
"It's not a matter of belief; if you were me, what would you do?"
Yuexi remained silent.
Trust is built on certain conditions. In our situation, even if I completely trust you, can you completely trust me?
There will always be some lingering resentment between us. Only when we stop hindering each other can we talk about trust.
Yuexi sighed and said, "What you said makes sense, and besides, I have no choice but to completely trust you now."
After a pause, Yuexi asked, "What exactly is going on with these guards?"
"This is my skill. It's passive. There's a chance that the person or monster I kill will Resurrection and become my servant."
Yuexi suddenly realized what was happening, and her mood improved considerably.
It's already quite good that Ling Yi was able to explain it to her.
"Your name is Ling Yi. So, were you already the Skeleton King before I Summon you?"
Ling Yi shook his head. "These are not suitable topics to discuss right now."
The fact that he's a time traveler can't be revealed, at least not now.
Ling Yi waved his hand and summoned a Resurrection Puppet soldier.
This was a level 2 Guardian Soldier, the first level 2 Guardian Soldier in the first wave, and the first one killed by Ling Yi.
This soldier's name was Cheng Yingxiong.
However, because the Resurrection Puppet's major memories from its previous life were erased, Ling Yi only knew its name.
Of course, that's not important.
Ling Yi gave Cheng Yingxiong a series of orders.
First, Cheng Yingxiong will henceforth be the leader of all puppet troops.
Ling Yi only gave Cheng Yingxiong this order; he did not pass it on to the other puppets.
Ling Yi wanted to see how Cheng Yingxiong would carry out his orders under these circumstances.
Secondly, Ling Yi instructed Cheng Yingxiong to lead the other puppet soldiers back to the Woma Forest Azure Cloud Sect Forest, thus completely taking control of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Now that the strongest Battle Power of the Azure Cloud Sect branch in the Woma Forest has been rendered useless, it will not be difficult to control the Azure Cloud Sect as long as the last few guards are killed.
Controlling the Azure Cloud Sect wasn't the main point; Ling Yi wanted to know if, after the Azure Cloud Sect was controlled, the functional NPCs within the Azure Cloud Sect would also be under his control.
That would be interesting if we could control it.
The NPCs serving the Azure Cloud Sect include those for crafting and enhancing equipment, refining and purchasing medicines, as well as NPCs for event quests, auction houses, and more.
Ling Yi didn't have high hopes for this, but what if it happened?
The second thing is to send a portion of the guards to the Woma Town.
They also brought the Woma Town under control, especially the Professionals' Guild.
As for what to do after bringing it under control? Ling Yi doesn't have any plans yet; he'll just focus on bringing it under control first.
At least let those union members know that from now on, Ling Yi is the one who calls the shots in the Woma Forest.
As for protecting Yuexi's older sister, Yueyao, it was just a side effect.
If these unions cause trouble or disobey orders, then it's a good opportunity to use up some of their Evolution Points.
The Evolution Points of these professionals are also quite appealing.
One more thing, Ling Yi needs to figure out where the Resurrection Stone came from.
Ling Yi only knew that the monsters in the Zuma Temple could drop Resurrection Stone.
However, the few Resurrection Stone that dropped in the Zuma Temple were clearly not enough to support the soldiers' extravagant spending.
The Azure Cloud Sect must have other ways to obtain Resurrection Stone.
After receiving Ling Yi's orders, Cheng Yingxiong turned to the other puppet Weapon Dao, "By order of our lord, from this day forward, I am your leader."
This was the first time Ling Yi had heard Resurrection Puppet speak on its own initiative.
"As our lord commands!" the other puppet soldiers shouted in unison.
"Use the return scroll to return to Azure Cloud City!" Cheng Yingxiong began to issue the command proactively.
Then, to Ling Yi and Yuexi's astonishment, all the puppet soldiers took out return talismans, crushed them, and disappeared.
Ling Yi and Yuexi exchanged a glance.
"Can they use a return scroll?" Yuexi asked.
Ling Yi nodded. It seemed that his understanding of the Resurrection Puppet was not complete.
The fact that the puppet soldiers used return scrolls is not the point; the point is that they retained their backpacks, and even the equipment and items inside.
And it is usable.
That's the key point.
Ling Yi only knew that puppets could retain their skills from before they died, but he didn't expect that they could even retain their inventory function.
With a thought, Ling Yi activated Ying Sha, canceling his Invisibility and appearing before the two.
"Is your backpack still working?" Ling Yi asked through his consciousness.
"Yes, my lord!" Ying Sha replied.
" Ling Yi, have him add me as a friend!" Yuexi didn't know what Ling Yi had asked about the puppet Ying Sha, but she thought of a possibility before she spoke up.
Ling Yi immediately gave Ying Sha the order.
The next moment, a friend request popped up in Yuexi's friend function module.
Yuexi quickly agreed.
" Ling Yi, you did it!" Yuexi exclaimed.
However, Ying Sha did not reply to me!
Ling Yi didn't speak, but instead gave Ying Sha another order.
Ask him to add Gu Pengfei, Ji Lan, and Cheng Yingxiong as friends.
At this moment, Gu Pengfei and Ji Lan should both be in the Undead Ancient Tomb, grinding monsters with the puppet professionals from the Orchid Moon Guild.
Although the Resurrection Puppet Resurrection Puppet has no distance limit, once it goes beyond a certain range, Ling Yi will find it difficult to contact it again.
Giving any order becomes very difficult.
Previously, Ling Yi needed Gu Pengfei and Ji Lan to run to the Undead Ancient Tomb to deliver the order.
If they could all be added as friends, it would be much easier for Ling Yi to pass on orders.
Ying Sha quickly sent the friend request and successfully added the three puppets, Gu Pengfei, Ji Lan, and Cheng Yingxiong, as friends.
As for why Ling Yi didn't add these puppets as friends himself?
He's a Raise Skeleton, and aside from his own stat panel, he doesn't have any of the other class-specific abilities.
Otherwise, he would have added Yuexi as a friend long ago and communicated directly through the private chat channel. Why would he need Ying Sha to be his mouth double?
After some testing, Ling Yi made a discovery that left him both amused and exasperated.
Apart from the Crimson Blood Skeleton, both the Puppet Guardian and the Puppet Profession retain all the professional functions and can be used normally.
Then, Ying Sha not only became Ling Yi's mouth double, but also became the communicator between Ling Yi and the other puppets.
Ling Yi also realized that the Wisdom of these puppets was not affected in any way despite most of their memories being erased.
The value these puppets can provide is far greater than Ling Yi imagined.
Around 3 PM, when Ling Yi and Yuexi finally stepped into the Taoist Venerable's Tomb, hundreds of kilometers away at the Azure Cloud Sect, Cheng Yingxiong had already killed the last batch of guards who had escaped back earlier.
Two puppet soldiers died during this period and are now waiting for their Resurrection cooldown to end in the Resurrection Realm.
This means that Ling Yi now essentially has an immortal puppet army that can freely upgrade and become stronger.
However, Ling Yi still needs to study carefully how to properly arrange these puppets.
" Ling Yi, I'm going to Resurrection my sister!" Yuexi suddenly said in Taoist Venerable's Tomb.
"Yes, didn't you add Cheng Yingxiong as a friend? I'll give you some permissions. If your sister Resurrection or needs help, just send a message to Cheng Yingxiong, and he'll help you."
Ling Yi nodded.
"I will!" Yuexi nodded nervously.
"What steps are required for Resurrection?" Ling Yi really didn't know.
In the game, no player can be Resurrection by another player after they die.
"No need. As long as they're on my friend list, I can use Resurrection Stone to Resurrection them." Yuexi shook her head.
"That's good!"
While Yuexi was Resurrection her sister, Ling Yi also opened his own data interface.
He has now accumulated nearly 180 million Evolution Points.
As for why there are so many.
Ling Yi killed 173 Azure Cloud Sect guards in total. On average, each guard gave Ling Yi more than one million Evolution Points.
In addition, over a thousand Resurrection Puppet are constantly spawning monsters in the Undead Ancient Tomb.
A batch of Resurrection Puppet have already reached the third level of the Undead Ancient Tomb.
The speed at which Evolution Points are acquired has been greatly increased.
Currently, the Resurrection Puppet in the Undead Ancient Tomb are providing Ling Yi with approximately 13 million Evolution Points daily.
Although it couldn't compare to the gains of the previous group of soldiers, it was still quite substantial.
Ling Yi first spent 10 million Evolution Points to level up the [ Transformation ] skill to level 40.
Another 110 million was spent to upgrade the [ Delusion Armor ] skill to level 50.
{ Transformation Lv40: Transformation Skeleton King form, 1-hour cooldown, skill duration 60 minutes!} [Click to Upgrade]
{ Delusion Armor Lv50: Can consume Evolution Points to Manifestation equipment. At the current level, the highest quality equipment that can Manifestation Diamond- quality. Different qualities require different amounts of Evolution Points.} [Click to Upgrade]
The level 40 Transformation skill allows for seamless transitions, meaning that Ling Yi can maintain his Skeleton King Transformation state indefinitely, as long as he wishes.
The level 50 [ Delusion Armor ] skill is finally no longer restricted by equipment type.
Furthermore, the highest tier of equipment that can Manifestation is Diamond Grade.
Diamond Grade equipment is unaffordable, and the minimum Evolution Points consumption is about the same as a small goal. With Ling Yi's recent expenditure, his Evolution Points are once again depleted.
But the red cesium equipment is still fine.
Currently, the only types of equipment that Ling Yi can potentially use are weapons, shields, and costumes.
Let's create a weapon-related costume first.
Now that the Great Sage Battle Armor costume Manifestation, how can we not Manifestation a staff as well?
And we're about to face a level 99 boss, so our current stats aren't quite up to par.
