47: Chapter 47: Creating Puppets!

"Junior Brother Han, how are those ironwood trees I asked you to Cultivate last time coming along?"

On this day, Zhao Changsheng found Han Li again to ask about the ironwood he was cultivating, as he was preparing to refine Puppets.

Although he had some talent in Formations, wanting to research and understand how to repair the Teleportation Array in a short time was simply a fantasy.

Therefore, he chose the next best option: to first refine a batch of Puppets that could help him with some tasks!

And the most important thing for refining Puppets was the Materials, primarily ironwood over a hundred years old.

For anyone else, finding a large quantity of ironwood over a hundred years old would probably not be an easy task.

But for Zhao Changsheng, it was an easy matter; he just needed to have Han Li Cultivate another batch.

"Naturally, they are already cultivated. Also, all the medicinal herbs Senior Brother asked to Cultivate are inside here. Please inspect them, Senior Brother, and see if there are any oversights or if the quantities are incorrect."

Han Li took out a previously prepared Storage Pouch and handed it to Zhao Changsheng, his face showing a respectful expression toward his senior.

Ever since obtaining the Fallen Heart Flame's sub-flame, coupled with the assistance of a large number of Medicinal Pills, his cultivation speed could truly be called rapid.

So now, what he wanted most was a foundation establishment pill to smoothly succeed in Foundation Establishment.

Zhao Changsheng was well aware of this desire of his, but Zhao Changsheng still needed him to enter the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land to obtain that golden big box.

Moreover, given Zhao Changsheng's current status, obtaining a foundation establishment pill would not be an easy matter; it might even be impossible, as foundation establishment pills were related to the entire School's Foundation.

Under normal circumstances, with Han Li's Aptitude, unless he performed a monumental service, wanting to obtain a foundation establishment pill was completely wishful thinking.

Even if Zhao Changsheng spoke up for him, it would be a rather unlikely event.

And the simplest way to perform this monumental service was to enter the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land to pick heaven and earth spiritual medicine.

As for another method, it was to participate in the School's internal competition. Like the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, one only needed to place in the top ten. But given Han Li's situation, if he wanted to make the top ten, he would have to risk half his life.

And that was assuming he broke through to the thirteenth layer of the Qi Refinement Stage. With his current state, it was very difficult.

"There's nothing incorrect. You've worked hard on this matter. However, don't be too anxious about the foundation establishment pill. There isn't much time left before the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land opens. Just wait a while longer. In the meantime, you can also practice more Spells and divine abilities, or study other things. And I won't hide it from you: this time, I plan to refine these ironwood trees into Puppets. I can give you a few later for you to control in the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land to fight enemies. This way, the chances of obtaining heaven and earth spiritual medicine and that golden box will be greater. For now, practice this Cultivation Technique. This technique is not for cultivating True Essence Mana or improving your cultivation Realm; it's a technique for refining Divine Thought. It's also essential for controlling Puppets. You can try cultivating it. If you succeed, you can naturally control Puppets smoothly as your helpers. If you can't Cultivate it, don't worry too much."

Zhao Changsheng inspected the ironwood and medicinal herbs in the Storage Pouch and was quite satisfied.

Immediately after, he took out the reward from his own Storage Pouch: the first layer of the 'Great Evolution Art'.

"This technique is called the 'Great Evolution Art' and is quite suitable for your current cultivation. Once you succeed in cultivating it, your own Divine Thought will also strengthen considerably, which will be helpful whether you're controlling Puppets to fight enemies or observing your surroundings."

Afterwards, Zhao Changsheng explained the intricacies of this technique to Han Li in detail.

After listening, Han Li was both greatly delighted and somewhat moved.

In reality, their relationship was one of mutual benefit: Han Li helped him Cultivate medicinal herbs, and he gave Han Li sufficient rewards.

To put it harshly, this was mutual exploitation; to put it nicely, this was mutual assistance.

But regardless, both of them had now gained considerable benefits.

"After successfully cultivating this technique, you can split off dozens of sub-thoughts to control Puppets. This will be of great benefit to you in the future, so remember to Cultivate it well."

Zhao Changsheng continued.

"By the way, you can teach this technique to Zhang Tie. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed; perhaps if his Divine Thought grows, his mind will become much sharper."

"Yes, I understand. I'll take this technique to him later. During this time, he has also helped me refine several suitable Magical Artifacts. Senior Brother, Zhang Tie's talent in Artifact Refining is truly remarkable. The Junior Martial Uncle in charge of Artifact Refining has praised him many times. He even intends to apply to the Sect Head to help Zhang Tie achieve Foundation Establishment. That would make it easier to refine top-grade magic tools."

Upon hearing that he could give it to Zhang Tie to Cultivate, the smile on Han Li's face grew a bit wider, and he immediately praised Zhang Tie generously.

"Alright. If there's an opportunity, I will also speak to the Sect Head. Of course, the most important thing is still to find a way to pick enough heaven and earth spiritual medicine within the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land. Only by picking enough heaven and earth spiritual medicine can you obtain foundation establishment pills. If it weren't for being unable to enter the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, I would actually want to enter myself to pick heaven and earth spiritual medicine."

Zhao Changsheng also nodded, offering another reminder.

"Rest assured, Senior Brother. I understand."

Han Li immediately gave his assurance again.

"It's good that you understand. That way, I can also rest easy. Alright, it's getting late. I'll go back to Cultivate first. You Cultivate well too."

After saying this, Zhao Changsheng had nothing more to say. He directly stood up, bid farewell, and left.

For him now, the most important thing was to refine the Puppets as soon as possible, research the Formation, and head to the Chaotic Star Sea.

This was the most important matter.

As for the golden box in the Blood-Colored Forbidden Land, it would be best if they could obtain it; if not, then so be it.

After Zhao Changsheng left, Han Li immediately went to the Artifact Refining earth-fire room to find Zhang Tie.

After all, he needed to complete the task Zhao Changsheng had assigned first.

When Zhang Tie learned that the 'Great Evolution Art' was something Zhao Changsheng wanted him to Cultivate, he was also extremely happy. He immediately promised to Cultivate it well and absolutely not tell anyone.

Currently, Zhang Tie's Realm had already reached the eleventh layer of the Qi Refinement Stage.

On one hand, it was due to his own cultivation Aptitude; on the other, Han Li would occasionally send over some Medicinal Pills, with the reason naturally being that Zhao Changsheng had provided them.

Zhang Tie had always believed this reason deeply, without any suspicion.

At the same time, he was immensely grateful to Zhao Changsheng!
