The road is vague

Chapter 255 Combined Attack Puppet

Of the four officials responsible for welcoming Li Mo, the one surnamed Xiu was the oldest.

He responded immediately without hesitation.

"Of course there are."

The white pagoda inside the Enforcement Hall, which represents the Zhenfeng Pavilion, is merely a place where the chief jailer and prison guards rest on ordinary days.

Beneath this white tower, shrouded in layers of restrictive barriers, lies the true prison where dangerous inmates are held. It consists of seven levels.

The deeper the floor, the more dangerous the prisoners are.

At Li Mo's signal, the group went straight to the sixth floor.

The patrolling prison guards had clearly received advance notice and quickly assembled, fully armed, to line up on both sides of the corridor to welcome them.

The elderly man surnamed Xiu smiled and gestured.

"Senior Brother Li, this is where the prisoners of the alien race are imprisoned. Originally there were nine, but after the previous internal strife, only three remain now."

Li Mo nodded and casually asked, "What about the seventh floor?"

"This……"

He looked hesitant, appearing stammering.

"The seventh floor is where Golden Core stage prisoners are held. It is almost a self-contained area below, and we are not allowed to enter without permission. The level of suppression is extremely high, with the Pavilion Master personally overseeing it. Previously, only Chief Xing was allowed to enter."

Seeing that he was quite cautious, Li Mo nodded.

He also has no intention of going.

So, amidst the welcoming lines of prison guards on both sides, Li Mo, led by the old man surnamed Xiu, strolled around the six-story prison, looking at the alien race imprisoned there.

First, there was a ghostly female ghost, invisible and without volume, constantly whistling and drifting in the cell, only to be forced back by the surrounding rebounding restrictions.

"Ghost general?"

Li Mo looked puzzled.

"Why not just kill her?"

Xiu, the head of the department, sighed and shook his head.

"Senior Brother Li, you may not know this, but this ghost was the daughter of Chen Shouyi, the acting sect leader, and also Chen Kaixuan's older sister. During the century-long war with the State of Lu, she was captured by a disciple of Wanshou Mountain in Lu and forcibly transformed into this vengeful ghost. She only retains a sliver of consciousness and can only recover for twelve hours around the Dragon Boat Festival each year. Over the years, the acting sect leader has never given up on saving her, but unfortunately, fate has not been on his side..."

Li Mo's expression changed slightly, and he said no more.

He then looked at the second alien being imprisoned there.

This is a mountain spirit that looks exactly like a poisonous mushroom that has become a spirit.

It had begun to take human form, quietly watching the crowd outside the prison without making any futile struggles, but its eyes were filled with malice and resentment.

The head of the Xiu family then introduced the family again.

"This is a poisonous mushroom that has become sentient. In a short period of time, it killed thousands of people in several villages. In the process of capturing it, more than twenty patrol officers died. In the end, it was the deputy head of the Special Operations Hall, Bai, who personally led the team down the mountain. It was quite a sensation."

Li Mo was puzzled.

"Then why keep it?"

"This brings us to some of our sect's poison cultivators. Although they are few in number, each of them is an expert in assassination. This poisonous mushroom spirit is priceless to them. Almost every three to five years, they spend a large amount of sect contribution to study its poison techniques."

Li Mo couldn't help but think of Tong Yuan.

This person was probably one of the best among them, so he said no more and quickened his pace slightly.

When he saw the last alien being imprisoned in the sixth-level prison, his pupils dilated, his breathing quickened slightly, and he was overjoyed.

This is a humanoid creature that is about two zhang tall!
It sat in a corner of the cell, head bowed, breathing steadily, seemingly in a dormant state.

Its clothes look like various vines and branches growing on their own, full of a rustic charm.

According to the "Great Zhou Dream Interpretation".

The witch clan of the Seven Star Realm are all born of the earth, thus possessing the talent to communicate with heaven and earth. They are all giants, even newborn infants are over ten feet tall, and adult witch clan members possess the strength of the Nascent Soul stage. Their lifespan is extremely long and can be further extended through hibernation.

The only limitation for the Witch Clan is their relatively small population and the endless stream of enemies.

In the lineage of the Seven Star Witch Clan, the parents of the Witch Clan are the heaven and earth of the Seven Star World.

All other things are nothing more than insects that destroy the natural world, so they frequently travel to other worlds to plunder slaves and return to the Seven Star World for blood sacrifices in order to increase the population of the Witch Clan.

This is a race that is gifted, intelligent, primitive, and brutal.

Given the height of the Wu tribe, the Wu tribesman in front of him was merely a child.

Xiu, the head of the department, continued his introduction.

"This giant is said to have been discovered in the desolate borderlands during the early years of Qingling Zhenren's reign as sect leader. At that time, there was a spirit stone mine there, and the workers awakened it while mining the spirit stones, causing great casualties. Afterwards, it was captured here by the sect's Golden Core cultivators, but it has since fallen into hibernation again. Successive sect leaders and Chief Xing have all conducted research on it, but only Chen Kaixuan had the opportunity to study it..."

The opportunity he mentioned was clearly referring to the Seven-Star Black Lotus.

After pursing his lips, Li Mo quickly made a decision.

"I want to use it to practice a secret technique. What procedures are required to take it away?"

“If Senior Brother Li only wants to go in to study and comprehend, he can do so at any time. But if he wants to take it away, he must have the procedures of the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, or the instructions of the two acting sect leaders.”

Upon hearing this, Li Mo pondered for a moment.

Sima Fu is currently in seclusion, having been there for three months, and is at a critical juncture.

He wasn't sure about Chen Shouyi and Ye Shoutian's words, so he figured he might as well wait a little longer. After all, the mountain was currently under lockdown, and this witch clan had been imprisoned here for hundreds of years, so a little more time wouldn't make a difference. "Okay, I understand."

Without saying another word, he immediately walked out and left Zhenfeng Pavilion.

the next day.

After washing up and resting, Li Mo returned to the Ancestral Hall.

After offering incense to the three ancestral masters as usual, he entered the high pavilion's secret chamber.

The heavy wooden door of the secret room slowly closed, revealing a room with a faint spiritual light. Three rows of bookshelves were displayed, each containing various secret techniques, skills, and cultivation methods. He immediately went to these bookshelves and carefully browsed through them.

Although his main goal was the cultivation technique of cultivating both body and mind, it did not prevent him from reading other jade slips here. After all, the items that could be placed here were all certified by high-level cultivators of the Spirit Eye Sect. They were profound techniques that ordinary disciples should not be able to access, and they might reflect some extraordinary historical clues.

Just for a moment.

Li Mo seemed to have gained something.

He looked at the jade slip for refining weapons in his hand, his breathing quickened, his eyes shone, and he couldn't put it down.

"This is actually the True Yang Secret Technique of the Jiang family, or more accurately, the True Yang Secret Technique of the ancient True Yang Sect."

Although this technique is quite remarkable, it can only serve as a reference for Li Mo at this point. He is currently focused on comprehending the Five Thunders to Dust Technique, so it is impossible for him to be distracted by cultivating this True Yang Secret Technique.

that's it.

The days passed by.

After spending half a month in the Ancestral Hall and carefully reading through all the jade slips, Li Mo finally found the cultivation method for both body and spirit that he needed.

The jade slip in his hand at this moment is titled "The Secret Scroll of Mountains and Seas".

"To cultivate the Secret Scroll of Mountains and Seas, one must consume the Misty Pill and meditate within the Realm of Mountains and Seas in order to achieve dual cultivation of body and mind."

"As one's cultivation level increases, one must continuously consume and refine higher-level ethereal pills to control vital energy until reaching the Nascent Soul stage, where one achieves mastery of both physical and spiritual cultivation..."

Li Mo read it three times in one go before gradually calming down his excitement.

"Everything is ready, except for the Yin De Pill."

After making a copy of the "Secret Scrolls of Mountains and Seas," he read through the remaining bundles of jade slips. After gaining some insight, he left the Ancestral Hall.

Qingming Mountain is currently closed to the public, so he can't go anywhere.

Not knowing when Sima Fu would be able to form a Nascent Soul, Li Mo planned to return to his cave and properly deal with the puppet matter.

Routine maintenance and repair go without saying.

Besides.

He obtained Lu Bin's mechanical bird puppet in the secret realm and needs to find a way to combine it with the Six Calamities and Six Disasters Matrix puppet. Perhaps he will be able to create a special combined attack puppet with it in the future.

Another task was to refine the Wood Spirit Pearl. He exchanged for a large number of Pure Spirit Tree Branches to see how effective they were.

Finally, there was the composite Bagua matrix puppet that he had planned long ago. Even though he had obtained a lot of spirit bamboo from the land god temple in the Southern Wilderness Cangyuan, after picking and choosing, he could only refine one set in the end, which consisted of sixty-four basic puppets.

Two months later.

Li Mo finally merged the mechanical bird puppet and the Six Calamities and Six Disasters Matrix puppet into one!
With an excited expression, he immediately went to the desolate peak behind the mountain and summoned the combined attack puppet from his spatial ring.

This is a puppet giant with two wings on its back and two heads.

"go with!"

Its flight speed was incredibly fast. With Li Mo's command, the two heads of the combined attack puppet emitted different spiritual lights: one was magma of a catastrophic nature, and the other was a demonic wind of a sinister nature.

As the two spells converged, a gray flame suddenly took shape and fell towards the desolate peak.

Just listen to the bang!
In an instant.

The terrifying gray flames spread rapidly in all directions, like a bowl of ink spilled on the ground, covering an area of ​​more than thirty feet in an instant.

The gray flames came quickly and went quickly.

Wherever the flames passed, the rocks of the desolate peak decayed and turned into dust, a truly shocking sight. This went beyond the scope of mid-level spells and seemed to lean towards the nature of high-level spells that could cause widespread destruction in war.

"Let's name this technique Yin Wind Calamity Fire!"

Li Mo murmured excitedly to himself.

Several people took to the air in the distance, staring in disbelief at the area where Li Mo had just practiced, clearly shocked by the commotion.

"We were unaware of your presence, senior. Please forgive us. We will take our leave now!"

Despite being quite far apart, these people mistook Li Mo for a Golden Core cultivator from their sect, greeted him respectfully, and then hurriedly left.

Li Mo shook his head and smiled at this.

However, as a price, the combined attack puppets lost their ability to form formations and could no longer be disassembled and combined, thus becoming a completely new puppet system.

"However, it's worth it. Not to mention that one set of Matrix Puppets is enough for setting up the array, the Combination Puppet Technique can be upgraded on this basis in the future, complementing the Matrix Puppet Technique."

If we had to point out a disadvantage of this combined attack puppet, it would be the consumption of spirit stones.

Currently, the combined attack puppet is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and thirty-six mid-grade spirit stones can still support it. However, if a Golden Core stage combined attack puppet is developed based on this, and Yin Wind Calamity Fire is used, the consumption of spirit stones will become a major problem that cannot be ignored.

"Then the next step is to refine spirit beads to replace spirit stones, or at least replace some of the spirit stone consumption!"

Think so.

Li Mo did not linger there any longer and flew towards Qingming Mountain.
