Chapter 337 The Substitute Puppet!

If one continues to cultivate the power of primordial magnetism, one can eventually cultivate innate primordial magnetism, which can both overcome the five elements and generate them in reverse, making it extremely powerful.

Gu Yuan wanted to find it, intending to learn from various sources, study it, and draw on its essence, but unfortunately, he couldn't find it.

It seems that this Rat Taoist also obtained the cultivation method by chance.

Although Gu Yuan was a little disappointed, he didn't take it too seriously. It would be best if he could obtain this cultivation method of Yuan Magnetic Power, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't.

As for the other item, it's rather strange.

It turned out to be a wooden statue, or more precisely, a wooden figure that looked a lot like a rat-like Taoist.

The wooden carving of the Rat Taoist is about the size of a fist. The material is probably some kind of mysterious spiritual root, which has a dark red color. The carving is very detailed, and even the hair of the Rat Taoist and the lines on his face are clearly visible.

However, at this point, the surface of the wood carving was faintly covered with fine cracks and some charred marks. In particular, a small hole appeared in the chest area of ​​the wood carving, with the edges charred black.

Gu Yuan's eyes flickered as he recalled the fight with the Rat Taoist earlier. His lightning spear had clearly struck the Rat Taoist, yet the Rat Taoist was unharmed, with no wounds or signs of being struck by lightning.

"Could it be that this wooden carving was a life-saving treasure that saved the Rat Taoist's life at the critical moment, and that the Rat Taoist's injuries were transferred to this wooden carving?"

Gu Yuansheng had a guess, and although it was just a guess, he felt that he might have guessed the truth correctly.

After examining it from top to bottom, Gu Yuan thought for a moment and then decided to probe it with his divine sense. However, when his divine sense touched the wood carving, it was as if it had encountered something hard and was directly repelled.

Gu Yuan's gaze deepened, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Then, he simply circulated his true energy and poured it into the vessel.

The next moment, the Taiyuan True Qi seeped into it like silk threads, the seepage was very slow and difficult.

However, Gu Yuan discovered that under the cleansing of his Taiyuan True Qi, the aura left by the other rat-like Taoist in the wood carving, as well as the essence blood and divine imprint, were removed.

After being completely refined by Gu Yuan's true energy, the wooden carving actually changed its appearance, transforming into a simple faceless figure.

Even the scorch marks on the surface of the wood carving, as well as a small hole, disappeared.

"Interesting wood carvings..."

Gu Yuan suddenly laughed, then he scratched his palm with his fingernail, dripping a string of blood beads onto the wood carving.

In an instant, the blood was absorbed and swallowed by the wood carving, just like a sponge absorbing water.

Then, Gu Yuan discovered that the wooden carving had changed its appearance, becoming about 70-80% similar to himself.

He also sensed a mysterious connection between the wooden carving and himself, as if it were another Gu Yuan.

"Is something else needed?"

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yuan simply imprinted his divine sense mark onto the wooden sculpture.

Thus, the wood carving continued to change, eventually becoming the likeness of Gu Yuan now. Apart from not being able to speak and being a little smaller, it was basically no different from Gu Yuan in appearance.

"Hmm? So this thing is called a substitute puppet? It only requires refining with blood essence and divine sense to use it to ward off a death calamity!"

At the same time, Gu Yuan also obtained a piece of information from the wood carving, which was about the wood carving itself.

This wooden carving is called the Substitute Puppet. It is a special treasure, crafted by a powerful being using rare materials such as Ghost Wood and Vengeful God Sand.

Simply refine it, and you can absorb it into your body to withstand a fatal calamity at a critical moment.

Moreover, this item cannot be used indefinitely; it can only be used a maximum of five times. This substitute puppet has already been used four times; one more use will render it completely useless.

However, upon seeing this object, Gu Yuan recalled the puppet substitute worm that Lü Kun of the Gu God Cult had used during their battle on the Life and Death Arena.

The puppet substitute worm has a similar function to this substitute puppet; both are life-saving treasures that can save lives in critical moments. However, compared to the puppet substitute worm, this substitute puppet can withstand five death calamities.

Furthermore, when it suffers fatal damage, it can transfer that damage, while the puppet substitute insect needs to wait a while to slowly recover from its injuries.

Therefore, in comparison, this substitute puppet is clearly much stronger than that kind of puppet substitute worm!

The only downside is that this substitute puppet can only be used once now.

However, Gu Yuan was in a good mood. Gaining such a substitute puppet was naturally a good thing; it could truly be a lifesaver in a critical moment.

Since it was something he got for free, he certainly wouldn't complain about it.

With a thought, Gu Yuan immediately caused the substitute puppet to disappear, and it suddenly reappeared in his dantian.

……

Before long, Gu Yuan arrived at Qiongming Immortal Workshop, activated his escape light, and stepped into this immortal city.

Compared to three months ago, the immortal city seems to have remained unchanged, with the streets still bustling with people as before.

After entering the city, Gu Yuan headed straight for the Jade Cauldron Tower.

The reason he went to Yuding Tower was naturally because he wanted to pay his respects to his master, Master Heling.

Master Heling has treated Gu Yuan well, so Gu Yuan should naturally fulfill his responsibilities as a disciple.

Before long, Gu Yuan arrived at Yu Ding Lou. As soon as he stepped into the hall, he immediately attracted the attention of some people.

Upon seeing Gu Yuan, some people showed surprise, and others exclaimed, "It's Gu Yuan... Senior Brother Gu!"

"He actually came?"

Some people even took the initiative to come up and greet Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan responded to each question with unwavering composure, neither arrogant nor impatient.

Then he went straight to the third floor.

Not long after, a familiar figure appeared in front of Gu Yuan.

"Junior Brother Gu, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?"

Gu Yuan's gaze sharpened as he looked at the honest-looking, short, stocky, and wiry young man in front of him, and he suddenly smiled:
"So it's Senior Brother Sha. Thanks to you, I've been doing quite well lately."

The newcomer was Sha Luosheng, Gu Yuan's fellow disciple and also an inner disciple of the sect.

Sha Luosheng's gaze swept over Gu Yuan, then suddenly froze, his expression changing instantly: "Wait... Junior Brother Gu, your cultivation level is actually..."

He was astonished to discover that Gu Yuan's cultivation had actually broken through to the Great Perfection of the Celestial Realm!
This greatly surprised Sharosen.

As far as he knew, half a year ago, Gu Yuan's cultivation level was still at the Lesser Completion of the Celestial Realm.

But only half a year has passed, and Gu Yuan has actually broken through two minor realms in a row, and is only a step away from the Golden Core stage, which shocked him!
