CHAPTER 424: CHAPTER 246: QUASI-TIER 4 PUPPET INHERITANCE

"Millennium Spiritual Liquid!!"

Xu Ping stood stunned on the spot. Moments later, an uncontrollable wave of ecstasy surged in his heart.

Ever since he consumed a bottle of Millennium Spiritual Liquid last time, he had been longing for more!

Who would have imagined that the person in front of him was actually hiding a bottle of Millennium Spiritual Liquid? This unexpected delight left him incredibly excited.

Xu Ping managed to contain his excitement, replacing the bottle stopper and setting up a restriction once more.

This place was clearly not suitable for consuming the Millennium Spiritual Liquid; better to wait until he returned to Thousand Leaves Mountain.

...

After properly stowing away the Thousand Leaves Spiritual Liquid, there was hardly anything left in the Storage Ring, only a few inherited jade slips lying quietly inside.

Xu Ping gently picked them up, letting strands of Divine Sense slowly probe into the jade slips, examining each one carefully.

The contents of these jade slips were incredibly rich, detailing various cultivation techniques, secret arts, maps of mountains and rivers, rare spiritual objects illustrations, and even the inheritance of a hundred cultivation arts.

Among these many jade slips, Xu Ping was surprised to discover a quasi-fourth rank puppet inheritance!

This was a quasi-fourth rank puppet!

It was far stronger than a typical Golden Core Perfection cultivator!

If he could refine two or three such puppets for protection, Xu Ping felt that he could fearlessly contend even with Nascent Soul cultivators.

"This person’s wealth is truly astonishing!"

Xu Ping didn’t know how many times he had marveled like this.

The other party not only presented him with magical treasures and Spirit Stones but also left behind such precious inheritances.

If he could fully absorb the gains here, his foundation would rival that of some core Golden Core disciples of major sects.

Steeling his heart, Xu Ping plunged his Divine Sense back into the jade slip, focusing intently and meticulously exploring the mysteries of this quasi-fourth rank puppet inheritance.

Half an hour quietly passed.

Xu Ping slowly withdrew his Divine Sense from the jade slip, his gaze falling on the inheritance jade slip that recorded the method for refining a quasi-fourth rank puppet. His brows involuntarily furrowed tightly.

It was now that he realized he had been too happy too soon.

Indeed, the power of a quasi-fourth rank puppet was astounding, but the difficulty of refining it was beyond imagination.

More crucially, the materials needed for refining a puppet were incredibly precious.

To refine a quasi-fourth rank puppet, either the corpse of a quasi-fourth rank demon beast was required, or two or three demon beasts of Golden Core Perfection level and a Ten Thousand Years Stone were needed.

Consider the former.

A quasi-fourth rank demon beast is exceptionally powerful, its strength far exceeding Golden Core Perfection level, and is a rare existence in the entire Nanchuan Cultivation Realm.

With Xu Ping’s current strength coming to hunt it, he would likely barely satisfy its appetite.

As for the latter option, it seems simpler.

But in reality, acquiring it is even harder than hunting a quasi-fourth rank demon beast.

After all, the Ten Thousand Years Stone is a fourth-rank spiritual ore, greatly enhancing the quality of a puppet when integrated into it.

This Ten Thousand Years Stone is something that even a fourth-rank Puppet Master cannot resist.

He, merely a Golden Core cultivator, to compete with a fourth-rank Puppet Master for this item is sheer folly, with no chance of success.

Moreover, even after enduring countless hardships to gather the materials, there is still a great possibility of failure during the puppet refining process.

Simply preparing one set of materials is far from enough. To successfully refine a quasi-fourth rank puppet, multiple sets of materials would likely be needed to have any hope at all.

"It seems there will be no chance to refine this quasi-fourth rank puppet for a long time."

Xu Ping murmured softly, but his heart was not overly disappointed.

After all, even though a quasi-fourth rank puppet couldn’t be refined for now, there was still a chance to attempt refining a third-rank top-grade puppet.

While the power of a third-rank top-grade puppet is far less than a quasi-fourth rank puppet, if he could refine five or six, he would still dominate within the Golden Core Realm, and no one would dare provoke him lightly.

If lucky enough to refine ten or eight, forming a puppet array, he could probably contend with a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Of course, as it stands, Xu Ping is still far from this goal.

After all, he isn’t even a Puppet Master yet.

After carefully stowing all items, Xu Ping sat quietly cross-legged on the stone bed, clutched an Upper Grade Spirit Stone in his hand, slowly circulating his cultivation technique to restore the mana he had previously consumed.

Time passed silently and imperceptibly, and the mana within Xu Ping’s body gradually recovered bit by bit.

...

...

Time moved backward.

At the moment Hongyi’s Golden Sky-Breaking Thunder shattered the blood-colored figure.

In a distant fourth-rank mid-grade spiritual cave in the Feng Country, a burly man engulfed in black aura was silently cultivating,

suddenly, his eyes snapped open, shooting out two sharp gleams like blades. The flash of anger in his eyes seemed capable of freezing space.

"Dare to kill my offspring!"

He roared, his voice booming like a bell, filled with endless fury and majesty.

A powerful spiritual pressure belonging to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator surged forth like a tidal wave.

This spiritual pressure was intensely oppressive, causing the entire cave to tremble violently under its impact, with stones falling from the cave walls as if they could not bear the weight.

Subsequently, his Divine Sense surged out like a tide.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

A sharp sound like piercing through the sky echoed outside the cave.

A Golden Core Perfection stage cultivator was seen hurriedly arriving, riding a dazzling Escape Light.
