Jumang, God of Wood
For this puppet-making project, Qin Fei plans to primarily use the Desolate Rock Ghost Python and the Spirit Energy Cannon.
The Desolate Rock Ghost Python possesses the strength of the Sixth Level of Qi Refining, and has received a very good response in the market, priced at 150 Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
The Spirit Energy Cannon can store energy, and if it stores energy for more than three months, it can unleash a strike comparable to that of Qi Refining Ninth Layer.
For cultivators in the early to mid-stages of Qi Refinement, this is undoubtedly a trump card.
If one could acquire one, it would be a lifesaver in a critical moment.
This item is not sold in the market, and the reference price is unknown.
Qin Fei decided to price it at five hundred Spirit Stone to test the waters first.
Another highlight is the second-tier puppet, the Divine Travel Boat.
Such flying Law Artifact are expensive; they typically cost around 500 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone to buy one on the market.
This price would be painful for even the average Foundation Establishment cultivator; only those with considerable wealth could afford it.
Qin Fei, however, still decided to manufacture in large quantities, selling as many as he could, mainly to utilize his experience in impacting the Heavenly Craft Creation Pavilion.
The cave abode entrance closed, and a thick fog rose from all around, enveloping the entire mountain.
Time flows on, and seasons change.
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
During this time, the cave abode's gate was rarely opened, with only two beautiful figures occasionally coming and going.
One of them is naturally the Yunxiu.
As soon as she received Qin Fei's telepathic message, she would immediately come to collect the puppet she had crafted.
The puppets were of all kinds, and most of them came from the Puppet Association.
Yunxiu didn't ask who made them; she took them all and ordered her disciples to sell them.
Alternatively, they could purchase them themselves to bolster the strength of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
After deducting her commission, she handed over all the Spirit Stone she received to Qin Fei, who then distributed them to the association members.
It must be said that bringing the Puppet Association into the picture was a wise choice.
Upon hearing that the puppets were made by the association, the Rogue Cultivator became much more enthusiastic, and their doubts about the quality and price dissipated considerably.
Some smaller factions that had grudges against the Heavenly Secret Pavilion dared not take action against it, for fear of offending the association.
The news of the young talents who joined the Puppet Association at the very beginning earning Spirit Stone spread unnoticed.
More and more people are joining the Heavenly Secret Pavilion network, all wanting a piece of the pie.
Qin Fei accepted all comers without hesitation, directly contacting Yunxiu and having her connect directly with Wei Zhao.
With this, the cooperation between the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and the Puppet Association was officially established.
As for the second person who frequents the place, it is Qiu Muxue.
Ever since her conversation with her master that day, she came here with a heavy heart.
To her surprise, Qin Fei had already gone into seclusion. Upon receiving the news, she breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt somewhat disappointed.
So from then on, she often came to feed the Purple Flame Deer.
Under her care, Cloud Treader's cultivation speed increased rapidly, and with the various spiritual materials Qin Fei purchased, he was fed almost continuously.
In three years, he has already reached the Qi Refinement Ninth Layer Refining.
Just one step away from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment.
Qin Fei, on the other hand, never neglected his cultivation and steadily progressed.
Under the constant nourishment of the spiritual liquid, a golden pattern faintly appeared between the eyebrows of the Eye of Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye, as if it was about to step into a new level.
Iron Guard also found a suitable target for planting the Gu, which was a group of Wind-Howling Rat.
This demon is only at the Qi Refinement Realm stage and has nothing special about it.
The only noteworthy aspect is its exceptional reproductive capacity.
A single Wind-Howling Rat can give birth to more than a hundred offspring each year, and the offspring can continue to reproduce after reaching three months of age.
It's easy to imagine how terrifying this group's reproductive capacity is.
Qin Fei saw this as an opportunity; if he could plant the Gu worms in this group, they could be transferred to each Wind-Howling Rat as they reproduced.
At that time, he will receive a continuous stream of support.
Now that the Iron Guard has returned, we are just waiting for him to emerge from the pass before we officially set out.
However, this is not the most exciting part.
After three years of crafting puppets, Qin Fei's net worth skyrocketed to an astonishing level once again.
The Storage Bag that had previously captured the Blood Gu Rogue Person and the Eccentric Daoist contained only a few hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
Meanwhile, in Qin Fei's Storage Bag, there were more than eight thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stone piled up quietly!
This was only after he felt he had enough Spirit Stone, so he voluntarily stopped refining them and devoted more time to cultivation.
Otherwise, if he had focused all his efforts on refining it, his net worth would probably be tens of thousands by now.
With such a massive amount of refining, the Heavenly Craft Creation Pavilion also advanced two levels.
[Heavenly Craft Creation Pavilion (1v12) (263/4000)]
[Sect Leader: Qin Fei]
[Level: Second-Tier Puppet Master]
[Puppet: Spirit Energy Cannon (Tier 1 Puppet), Handheld Game Console (Special Puppet), Spirit Energy Wings (Tier 1 Puppet)----]
[Buffs: Puppet speed +12%, power +12%, energy consumption -12%]
[Unlockable blueprints: Blacksmith (Tier 2 Puppet), Jumang (Exclusive Puppet)]
[Blacksmith]
[Level: Tier 2 Puppet]
[Talent: Refining Speed +10%, Refining Cost -10%]
[Effect: Blacksmith by trade, second-tier weapon refiner, has a small chance of refining magical Law Treasure]
Upon seeing the first drawing, Qin Fei was surprised.
A second-tier weapon refiner has been unlocked!
In the future, will we be able to unlock skills such as Talisman Master, Spirit Plant Master, etc.?
Qin Fei filled with excitement, but when he saw the blacksmith's effectiveness, he was even more shocked.
Law Treasure —those are things even more advanced than top-grade magical Law Artifact.
Many cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage don't even possess top-grade magic Law Artifact, let alone magic Law Treasure.
Generally speaking, one only has the opportunity to control Law Treasure when one reaches the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
The main reason is that Law Treasure are powerful, but they also consume Spiritual Power extremely quickly, which is simply too much for Foundation Establishment Early Stage True Qi handle.
Furthermore, Law Treasure artifacts are expensive and often unavailable, making them difficult to purchase through shops or other similar venues.
Therefore, even in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, very few people use Law Treasure.
If Law Treasure could be forged by a blacksmith, that would be a huge profit.
I don't even know how small the so-called "lower probability" actually is.
Qin Fei's eyes narrowed sharply as he looked at the second drawing.
The Exclusive Puppet has finally reappeared!
[Jumang, White]
[Strength: Foundation Establishment Early Stage]
[Talent: Natural affinity with wood element, recovery +15%, healing +15%]
[Exclusive Puppet: Bound by Essence Blood, it does not require Divine Sense, cannot be used by outsiders, and is unique]
Wet nurse?
It was actually a Battle Puppet with healing abilities!
Moreover, this puppet is Exclusive Puppet and does not require the use of the Spirit Splitting Technique.
This means that Qin Fei can control the Iron Guard while simultaneously commanding Jumang to fight.
The power of two Foundation Establishment Realm puppets is self-evident.
However, Qin Fei stared at the name on the blueprint and fell into deep thought.
Jumang.
If I remember correctly, this should be the Wood God among the Five Elements and Five Gods.
It is said that this person was the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the son of Yuguo, the sea god of the East Sea.
He was once ordered to drive several giant turtles to lift up the fairy mountain in the East Sea, stabilizing its drift.
Of course, these are all myths from the previous life.
Little did he expect that he would become his own puppet.
Qin Fei's gaze sharpened, and he made a decision:
It must be refined as soon as possible.
