The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 3 General Affairs
Qingfeng Pavilion is famous for its unique production of Qingfeng Talismans, but the profit from the talismans is thin and there are many competitors, so the sect is naturally not wealthy.

But it is different for the Qi Ling Sect. The five wooden puppets in the sect are famous in several nearby states. Each puppet in the middle stage of Qi Refining is equivalent to a magic weapon, worth dozens of spirit stones. Moreover, puppets, which are good things that can be inherited, protect the family, and preserve the business, are naturally more important to the sect.

Not to mention the nearby states, there are few families in the entire continent that are more proficient in puppetry than the Qi Ling Sect. This near-monopoly and huge profits naturally made the Qi Ling Sect rich. If it weren't for the two foundation-building true cultivators in the sect who deterred the villains, this inheritance would have been taken away by others long ago.

More importantly, fortunately, the sect does not have a method of puppet refining that is comparable to the foundation-building method, otherwise the dominant sect on the continent, Linglong Sect, would have taken it away long ago.

Elder Yun saw that the disciples had recovered their composure, and then he continued, "Xueyin Valley recently ordered nearly a hundred puppets from our sect, requiring them to be completed within five years. We were afraid that we might not have enough manpower, so we changed the rotation of general affairs.

Next, the disciples I have appointed will follow the sect's duties. If anyone dares to evade duties, they will be locked up in the sect's death cave once they are discovered."

Hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. The dead cave inside the door was a forbidden area where evil spirits and ghosts lurked. There were many evil spirits in it. If they really went in, they would be worried that their lives would be worse than death and their three souls and seven spirits would be devoured by the ghosts. Even if they did not die, they would most likely become mentally retarded.

"Zhao Mosheng, go to the weapon refining room and be the fire-adding boy."

"Huang Xuan, you go to the Lingmu Garden and be a woodcutter."

……

"Ruan Jinghu, you go to Qifeng Secret Hall and be the gatekeeper boy."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the disciples could not help but feel envious. Qi Feng Secret Hall was the place where the puppet would be finally completed, and the gatekeeper boy was naturally responsible for the menial work which was easy and had many benefits.

"Li Yuan, go to the Lingfeng Secret Hall and be a forbidden boy!"

Nearly twenty disciples were assigned to different places one by one. After the assignment, they immediately rushed to their respective places and began their one-month general affairs work.

Li Yuan rushed to Lingfeng Secret Hall. Compared with Qifeng's Secret Hall which was absolutely closed and secretive, Lingfeng's Secret Hall was much more relaxed. After the puppets were refined and formed, the disciples would engrave the magic bans here. Then, after completion, they would be sent to Qifeng Secret Hall to have the elders personally engrave the core magic bans.

Standing in front of the secret hall, he showed his disciple token, and the two disciples guarding the gate checked it and let him in.

A burning breath blew towards him in the secret hall. Because it was connected to the refining room, many puppets needed to be engraved with magic bans immediately after refining was completed.

Li Yuan's previous job was often to carve legal prohibitions, so he was considered an expert at it, and was therefore assigned to this task this time.

There were rows of giant puppets about ten feet tall standing in the hall, with only eight or nine disciples concentrating on carving magical prohibitions for these puppets.

Elder Feng, who was in charge of the secret hall, was a sixty-year-old man. Seeing that he was the only one here, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Why are you the only one here? Are you just trying to please me?"

Li Yuan bowed and said, "Don't blame me, Elder Feng. There should be several more brothers coming later. I was just anxious and wanted to learn more from you, so I came earlier."

"Well, that's good." Elder Feng stroked his beard and smiled, "Boy, you only need to carve three of the twelve armored wood puppets.

This is the forbidden method of the thirty-six patterns, you must remember it well!"

Li Yuan stepped forward and respectfully took the jade slip from his hand, smiling: "Thank you for your guidance, Elder! I will do my best to complete it!"

"Yes, go ahead."

Elder Feng smiled and encouraged him, "If you have any questions, just ask me."

Li Yuan walked in front of a tall puppet, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the jade slip to start learning the magic prohibitions.

The reason why this secret method is so easily passed on is not because the sect trusts the disciples too much, but because these thirty-six magic prohibitions are only one type of magic prohibition for the Jiamu puppet, and without the core magic prohibitions of the Qifeng Secret Hall, this puppet cannot be driven at all.

The secret method of refining the puppet's body is another set of secrets. If ordinary people want to obtain this puppet inheritance, they must gather the three parts of refining, magic restrictions and core magic restrictions to do it.

Li Yuan used to think that there were only these three parts, but after he read the Ten Thousand Puppet Scripture, he discovered that there was a fourth core, which was that a specific secret technique was needed to capture the soul and seal the inside of the puppet to completely complete a puppet. His current strength was low, and his cultivation could not be improved in a short time. It was too difficult to use other external objects to supplement his strength, and the puppets in the sect were one of the few good ways.

He has already mastered twenty-four magic prohibitions. The Jiamu puppet has thirty-six external prohibitions. The magic prohibitions are engraved like talismans, using divine thoughts to guide spiritual power to outline the mysterious patterns.

But unlike drawing talismans, if you fail, the talisman fails.

The Qi Ling Sect has been passed down for thousands of years and has long since comprehended special magical restrictions. Only if the carving is successful will it be printed on the puppet. If it fails, it will only cause a loss of some of the disciples' spiritual power and divine thoughts, greatly reducing the loss cost. That's why they dare to let disciples who are only in the initial stage of Qi Refining be responsible for carving the external restrictions.

Li Yuan was concentrating on carving the magic ban. In the past, he did it to complete his chores, but now he was making puppets to practice his skills.

There is a natural difference between doing things for others and doing things for yourself.

Although the difficulty of practicing magic and supernatural powers has increased greatly, the engraving of the magic patterns does not belong to the category of magic and supernatural powers, so he learned it quite quickly.

Li Yuan drew nine prohibitions every day, and he could finish the outer prohibitions of an armored wood puppet in four or five days. With such tireless diligence, he completed the outer prohibitions of five armored wood puppets within a month, which made Elder Feng smile and praise him continuously.

After thirty days, Li Yuan walked out of the secret hall with a haggard look. The seven or eight disciples in the same round with him also walked out dragging their tired bodies. No one had the leisure to chat anymore, and they all returned to their caves.

Li Yuan watched as another group of disciples on duty walked into the secret hall, weapon refining room and other places and started their work again.

"This scene seems familiar."

He muttered something to himself, then found a big tree at the foot of the mountain and fell asleep.

Qi Ling Peak has an old ancestor in charge, and no one dares to kill anyone inside the mountain gate, so this deserted place is very safe.

Li Yuan really couldn't walk anymore, and he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, Li Yuan seemed to have come to that mysterious space again, standing in front of an ancient tree full of spiritual energy. The three chapters of exercises on the stone tablet had disappeared.

Only a few lines remain.

He regained consciousness and feared that this was not a dream, so he looked carefully.

"In the Xuanyuan World of Ten Thousand Trees, nature is used to nourish life and life is used to move.

Only those who protect my heavenly mission are allowed to enter.

"If the younger generation inheritors want to achieve immortality, they must be loyal to our sect, so that they can use their luck to guide their lives, pass the nine revolutions to condense the golden elixir, and ascend to the fruit position to conceive the Nascent Soul!"

Li Yuan was shocked, Tianqi Sect!
You have to know that according to the ancient law, who dares to call themselves a sect without a True Lord in charge? Even the Linglong Sect only has a Golden Elixir True Person, so it can only be called a sect.

Moreover, how can a sect that dares to use the word "Tian" as its leader be an ordinary sect?

But recently in the world of immortal cultivation, there is no legend about Tianqi Sect, only...

Only our own Qi Lingmen!

Li Yuan was shocked. It seemed that his Qi Ling Sect had a close relationship with the Tian Qi Sect.

He glanced at the dazzling array of treasures behind the stone tablet, and with a determined heart, he stepped forward and pressed his hand on the stone tablet, saying solemnly: "Younger disciple Li Yuan, remember the trust of your ancestors. If one day you can build an immortal foundation, you will definitely do your best to protect Qi Lingmen."
