Chapter 421: Chapter 223 Puppet? Just an Alchemy Toolman 007! (5k)_3
[You successfully used immersive simulation... Remaining energy: 2,963,430,000 points.]
...
A day of immersive simulation ended. Su Xing soon returned to the real world, with a deeper understanding of the Dao of Puppets.
"Not bad, this simulation... perhaps my mastery of the Dao of Puppets could indeed reach the Minor Achievement level!"
"By then, I should be able to independently refine puppets capable of alchemy..."
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[You stayed in the Descending Sect for another year, successfully refining sufficient elixirs.]
[Because the purpose of this simulation was to quickly accumulate Origin Power, it didn't matter whether you defected from the Descending Sect. To gather more information, you decided to stay in the Descending Sect.]
[In the third year, you handed over the twenty thousand-plus elixirs you accumulated to the Great Xia Military.]
[The Great Xia Military gained many powerful cultivators in just one year.]
[Although the Descending Sect was troubled by this, they never suspected you, as you never exposed your alchemy abilities.]
[Then, you continued to diligently practice the Puppetry Technique, and every year on the day of Jingzhe, you comprehended the Origin of Power.]
[Thus, three more years passed.]
[In the sixth year, your mastery of Origin Power improved; the duration you could sustain using Origin Power increased from three breaths to five breaths.]
[This would almost allow you to throw two full-strength punches in battle.]
[You were not satisfied with this and continued to delve into the Dao of Puppets while comprehending Origin Power.]
[Thus, two more years passed.]
[In the eighth year, you initially mastered the creation of puppet marks. Based on the memories in your mind, you were able to transform ordinary combat-type puppets into puppets specialized for alchemy.]
[So, you attempted to modify the remaining five puppets you had.]
[This research took another three years.]
[By the eleventh year, after your continual research, you finally transformed the remaining five puppets into alchemy puppets.]
[Thus, you had eight puppets working day and night for you, refining elixirs around the clock.]
[You tried to have them refine Fasting Pills...]
[After two months of testing, you found that the eight puppets could collectively refine fifty thousand Fasting Pills in a month.]
[This would mean that, every month, just these eight puppets could yield the equivalent of a minor achievement-level alien metal mining area dungeon!]
[You were overjoyed by this discovery.]
[At the same time, as you continued to delve into your studies, you noticed something peculiar about the puppet code-named Xiaomei.]
[The other seven puppets, though at the Nascent Soul peak, had limited potential and found it difficult to break through.]
[However, Xiaomei stood out, able to self-improve and continually surpass limitations, from initially refining one hundred elixirs a week to now being able to refine over a thousand.]
[You speculated that this might be because Xiaomei's body still retained a remnant of a Divine Soul Mark from its previous life, so you tried implanting a more advanced puppet mark.]
[Through your continuous experiments, you discovered that Xiaomei indeed had further potential for development, even able to advance in cultivation level!]
In the real world, Su Xing was amazed by this revelation.
"Puppets... can they also improve in cultivation level?"
Based on the information Su Xing had, enhancing a puppet's power either required using more precious Heaven and Earth Treasures to refine it or equipping it with stronger Magical Treasures.
But it was unheard of for a puppet to cultivate itself, something Su Xing had never known before.
"Could this be... the rumored Puppet Cultivator?"
Su Xing's eyes widened.
It must be known that an ordinary Cultivator would cultivate as a human... However, after a cultivator's death, their spirit could potentially turn into a ghost and continue cultivating, becoming a ghost cultivator!
And if a cultivator refined themselves into a puppet, there was an extremely low probability of becoming a Puppet Cultivator!
And now, it seemed that Su Xing's Xiaomei puppet had turned into a Puppet Cultivator?
"Hiss... this is an extraordinary discovery!"
Su Xing muttered to himself, his gaze turning back to the simulation panel.
[You soon realized that Xiaomei might be a one-in-a-million Puppet Cultivator, born from fortuitous circumstances...]
[But you didn't know how to help Xiaomei recover the remaining traces of her self-awareness, so you put it aside for the moment.]
[Thus, in the following three years, you continued to study the Puppetry Technique and the Origin of Power every day.]
[By the fourteenth year, your mastery of the Puppetry Technique could be described as reaching a minor achievement.]
[You decided to attempt crafting an artifact puppet yourself.]
[Artifact puppets, unlike human puppets, were made of metals and minerals, similar to mechanical beasts or robots...]
[Before refining an artifact puppet, you had to learn artifact refining first.]
[So, you began to delve into the Path of Artifact Refining...]
[Though you had no particular talent for artifact refining, fortunately, the artifact puppet you needed to refine was the most basic, requiring no advanced techniques.]
[You referenced the jade slip left by that damned Zong, beginning to study the Path of Artifact Refining.]
[Having the Li Fire Technique, ideal not just for alchemy but also for artifact refining, saved you a lot of effort.]
[As for the materials for refining the puppet, you soon chose the Fourth-Rank Special Metal!]
[You controlled the Li Fire to burn the special metal, forging it into a human shape... This process required precise control of Divine Sense, Spiritual Energy, and flame.]
[After several months of attempts, you finally managed to barely produce a human-shaped puppet.]
[Although this puppet's appearance had nearly no resemblance to a human, you didn't mind, as it merely needed to be functional.]
[Next, you began to craft the puppet's core and puppet mark, leaving your own puppet mark within.]
[You arranged a wood attribute and a fire attribute spiritual array within the puppet's body, facilitating the conversion of wood and fire attribute Spiritual Energy...]
[Then, at the core, you inscribed a flame talisman mark, allowing the puppet to autonomously release flames.]
[You inserted several Spirit Stones into the puppet for its energy needs.]
[What remained was the most challenging part of the entire puppetry technique, teaching the puppet to perform specific tasks.]
[Lacking self-learning capabilities, you had to implant the process of refining Fasting Pills into the puppet's core, then modify it in practice, enabling it to gradually master alchemy.]
[This process took a whole month.]
[After a month, you finally succeeded in teaching the puppet alchemy; it could refine two thousand Fasting Pills a month!]
[Despite its low efficiency, you were very satisfied...]
[Because next, you planned to attempt the mass production of alchemy puppets...]
