242 Do You Know How to Talk by Looking at the Picture?
The person who was prettier than Wenren Xin was called “Xiao Youyue.” She was a disciple of the Yuan Sect, one of the five great immortal sects in the Nine Desolations. Her rise to power was a role model for all cultivators at the bottom of the totem pole. As a result, even though “Xiao Youyue” was famous for being cool and unapproachable, she still garnered the admiration of countless cultivators.
Of course, everything has nothing to do with “Xiao Youyue” at this moment, so let’s not mention it.
At this moment, because of Wenren Xin’s participation, Fang Jinyu’s backup plan didn’t work at all. Fang Qin was afraid that he would fall behind and rushed to register to participate in the alchemist competition.
The other alchemists also rushed to Mount Tianling to register.
Even those who hadn’t become alchemists and only knew how to refine one or two types of elixirs were eager to try.
Fang Jinyu naturally noticed the strange scene.
After all, Fang Jinyu’s divine sense could cover the entire Tianling Sect. He could easily sense the scene on the 72 peaks if he wanted to!
“This ‘fairy who cultivates the puppet path’ seems to be a little special…” Fang Jinyu was keenly aware of the situation, so after some thought, he changed the competition topic he had prepared.
Originally, Fang Jinyu prepared a standard alchemy competition topic that was also commonly seen in other alchemy competitions—Refining a certain elixir that was publicly acknowledged to be difficult, such as the Core Spirit Elixir.
Now, Fang Jinyu wanted to give them a chance to “talk by looking at the picture.”
Soon, the news of such a grand alchemist competition spread to the other immortal sects and was held in full swing.
Among them, 60% of the news mentioned Fang Jinyu.
The remaining 40% was based on the reputation of the “fairy who cultivates the puppet path,” Wenren Xin.
After learning that Wenren Xin was participating, the cultivators from the other immortal sects rushed over just to take a look. They were all pursuers of the “fairy who cultivates the puppet path.”
“Now, I can confirm that this young lady is indeed special…” Fang Jinyu’s eyes flashed with a look of contemplation. After Lin Xianer appeared, there was no news about the extraordinary book that appeared frequently in his possession. However, it didn’t mean anything. After all, the extraordinary book wasn’t the only one.
Back then, the person from the Immortal Palace who had contacted Fang Jinyu had mentioned that there were several such books.
The book that Fang Jinyu had seen before was the only one that had been publicly announced as the “lost item” of the Immortal Palace!
Furthermore, the Immortal Palace allowed the return of some Immortal Ascension stage Almighties!
When Fang Jinyu saw that even some Core Formation stage cultivators were interested in the “fairy who cultivates the puppet path,” he couldn’t help but think, “Even if she isn’t the female lead, she is also an important supporting character. I wonder if the ‘fairy who cultivates the puppet path’ will become cannon fodder in the end.”
Thinking of this, Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but feel a little resentful.
It was because heaven and earth were restricting him and preventing him from abusing his power.
After all, when Fang Jinyu learned that a large number of precious spiritual items had appeared in the world, he harvested them all in an instant.
Since Fang Jinyu was in the Nine Desolations and the power wouldn’t be as powerful as it was in the “Fang Jinyu Realm,” it still had a great impact on the Nine Desolations.
Afterward, Fang Jinyu continued to pay attention to Fang Qin.
The interception of fate didn’t have any adverse effects on Fang Qin. In fact, since Fang Jinyu had used his alchemy skills to cover Fang Qin’s fate, Fang Qin’s alchemy skills were as good as having God’s help. As a result, the “divine elixir” began to hesitate.
It was what Fang Jinyu sensed. Because of Fang Qin’s talent in alchemy, the “divine elixir” began to cherish talent!
The situation made Fang Jinyu finally confirm one thing.
“From the attitude of the ‘divine elixir’ towards Fang Qin, it seems like it was just training a tool.”
…
At the Tianling Sect’s alchemist competition, many alchemists had helpless expressions on their faces. Some of them even had gloomy expressions.
It was because the method of the competition was to look at a puppet’s demonstration and refine elixirs.
“I’m not very proficient in refining puppets…” An elderly Foundation Establishment stage alchemist was currently tugging at his beard with a worried expression.
“Although it’s a puppet, the competition doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with puppets. This puppet has such agile consciousness and high intelligence. Perhaps Grandmaster Fang wants to test us in this aspect? Of course, I’m just guessing.”
The one who said it was a middle-aged alchemist. He had a good relationship with the older alchemist, so he deliberately reminded him.
Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the eyes of many alchemists in the vicinity lit up. They began to ponder whether what they were good at could be related to the puppet.
However, other than the alchemists who were still considering or unable to start, many participating cultivators had already begun to take action.
Among them, most of them were “alchemy tools” who didn’t even have the qualifications to be an alchemist.
They were the most open-minded. In any case, they all knew what level they were at. Therefore, when they heard that they could perform on their own, they would refine an elixir that they were good at as a “piece of work for the competition.”
However, other than this type of person, there were a few others who were truly talented.
Fang Qin, Tan Yuzi, and the “fairy who cultivates the puppet path,” Wenren Xin were all among them.
At this moment, Fang Qin and Wenren Xin were the most confident.
One was that his alchemy skills had improved greatly recently, reaching the level of a Holy Alchemist. Therefore, he could see a lot of things from the puppet.
The other was very proficient in refining puppets.
Wenren Xin was only ranked 1 in the Foundation Establishment stage, but the puppet she had refined had the fighting power of the middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
One had to know that the puppet path was easy to learn but difficult to master.
It was very easy to master the cultivation technique. The most basic puppet was made step by step. It did not even require cultivators to have magical power. It could be pieced together according to the order and stuffed with a spirit stone.
However, if one wanted to take a step further on the puppet path, it would be extremely difficult.
It was because the puppet path also involved the creation of heaven and earth!
An excellent puppet master could casually throw out a few beans and turn them into battle puppets to protect himself.
However, the puppet path in the Nine Desolations was so weak that none of the great immortal sects had mastered it. Ultimately, it was because there were too few spells and secret techniques related to the puppet path in the Nine Desolations.
It was said that the original puppet path was because of a broken puppet that fell from the apocalypse.
To be able to learn so much from a broken puppet, it could only be said that the Nine Desolations’ cultivators from the past were indeed very talented.
