Chapter 289

Afterwards, he immediately opened the second wooden box.

As the wooden lid hung to one side, a scarlet-red scroll appeared before his eyes.

Looking at the scroll, Lin Feng was slightly stunned, then his eyes brightened.

Using Qi to hold the wooden box aloft, he then stretched out his arm, took out the scroll, and slowly unfolded it.

"True Flame Manipulation Technique"

Several fiery-red large characters were indeed imprinted into his field of view.

This Flame Manipulation Technique, after my painstaking improvements over many years, can already be called a high-level Earth Tier technique!

Although the previous Flame Manipulation Technique was powerful, it required at least three people to cultivate in order to condense a kind of 'Genesis Fire'; moreover, each condensation would exact a considerable price from the cultivator. However, after my continual refinements, even solitary cultivation can successfully condense 'Genesis Fire'.

Furthermore, the power of the condensed 'Genesis Fire' far surpasses that of the previous version, while its side effects have been greatly weakened. Although the condensation method has become more cumbersome, compared to its advantages, this slight flaw can be overlooked...

After finishing reading the introductory text on the scroll, Lin Feng's face also showed some emotion.

Upon seeing that name, Medusa was startled, then she asked curiously.

Beneath this fiery-red pearl, the two could feel.

"Heavenly Demon Puppet!"

Following that, in the sight of the eight men, he placed it back into the wooden box and stored it in his spatial ring.

Meanwhile, Da Yi Xian and Shi Shao, before hearing the latter's exclamation, also came to Zi Yan's side.

Shi Shao fiddled with the magic core in his hand and gave a casual reply.

The material of that thing, upon inspection, seems to be very much already large.

"Eh, is this old guy finally awake? He actually stored such a tattered bamboo slip out there with such boldness, and even added a spatial light shield for protection."

Within this fist-sized fiery-red pearl lies a rather violent and huge fire-attribute energy.

Feeling the scorching cold and violent sensation emanating from this red pearl, Da Yi Xian's voice was filled with intense astonishment.

Having said that, Shi Shao hastily gathered the scroll, placed it back into the wooden box, and then threw it into his spatial ring.

Upon hearing his words, Medusa's fair face instantly flushed with a hint of rosy red, and she immediately interrupted him.

Just as Lin Feng immersed himself in the Flame Manipulation Technique, a bewitching female voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.

Immediately, beneath the bamboo slip, these fine blood-red characters exuding a thirst for blood were imprinted into everyone's vision.

"He is actually fortunate."

"Heavenly Demon Puppet, this secret art is neither a cultivation method nor an unusual fighting technique, but a puppet-refining technique passed down from ancient times!"

Da Yi Xian, upon hearing the big girl's words, immediately retorted.

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng turned his gaze and glanced at the alluring face so close at hand.

Seeing that several people were also curious about the things recorded outside, Zi Yan's lips curled slightly as she quickly took it out.

Inside that wooden box at that time, only a single abnormal grayish-brown bamboo slip was stored.

"Looks like that Earth Devil Old Ghost has collected the volume of things he obtained!"

"Heavenly Demon Puppet? Could it be the secret method for refining puppets?"

"Demon puppets are divided into eight grades: Heaven, Earth, and Human. The difference in rank depends on the refining materials and the refining fire."

"Indeed, if this old fellow were capable of doing such an interesting thing, then outside, if it were not known as a secret..."

Her beautiful eyes hastily swept over the blood-red characters beneath the bamboo slip, Da Yi Xian's pupils suddenly contracted, and she exclaimed in astonishment.

"Eh... that thing actually uses that kind of pigment to record things; at a glance it's clearly something bad."

"......"

"Bad."

That ancient and mysterious puppet technique, even if you are that Fighting Sect weakling, today is the first time you've seen it.

His gaze once again fell upon the scarlet scroll below, and he laughed: "That is indeed certain; surely that Earth Devil Old Ghost has devoted his energy to beneath my own ice-attribute cultivation technique fighting skill, so it is certain to yield a lesser effect..."

Gazing at the magic core within the ancient wooden box, Da Yi Xian's beautiful eyes also quickly welled up with a hint of astonishment.

And just as he was speaking, Shi Shao had already spread out all the bamboo slips in his hand.

"Once a demon puppet is refined, its power is limited yet it brings joy and sorrow, pain and injury; it is truly an instrument of slaughter!"

"This Earth Devil Old Ghost has excellent talent in fighting techniques, but unfortunately... he went in the wrong direction!"

"Using the body as vessel, the soul as guide, the magic core as heart, and adding various metals that enhance or weaken the puppet's bodily resilience, ultimately achieving the demon puppet."

And that fighting technique scroll has just been obtained by me.

Gazing at this ancient bamboo slip, Lin Feng curled his lip and said disdainfully.

Even if you open it to examine, you can also learn its secrets from it.

"Maybe it's useless for me to hold."

Seeing that the scroll appeared to be a large grayish-brown bamboo slip, Zi Yan's heart leapt with joy.

Glancing at this fiery-red pearl, Medusa's eyes flashed with surprise.

Gazing at these few bloody little characters, Lin Feng's mouth twisted slightly as he spoke disdainfully.

Seeing that you seemed shy, Shi Shao also did not continue that topic, and continued to open the eighth wooden box.

Although you haven't yet seen all the information, based on the eight characters "Heavenly Demon Puppet", one can also guess a seven.

"If that's the case, then you all just take a look."

Immediately afterward, Zi Yan opened the first wooden box.

Gazing at this grayish-brown bamboo slip, Medusa frowned and said.

"Is over, speaking of the foregoing, Shi Shao's tone shifted: 'Is over, if you successfully cultivate that Flame Manipulation Technique, then for your earlier ventures into Central State, it actually hasn't been of much help. That Earth Devil Old Ghost, however, has lent you a small hand...'"

"To refine a Heavenly Demon Puppet, eight items must be gathered: body, soul, magic core!"

Medusa's red lips curled slightly, her tone carrying a hint of sigh.

Who would have thought that the magic core of that magic beast later was also kept by that earth demon old ghost out there; you still thought I took it to trade with someone...

Who could have imagined, a weakling of an ice-attribute one-star Fighting Sect would actually go and alter and retreat a volume of fire-attribute Earth Tier intermediate fighting skill.

The wooden box opened; inside was a fire-red, round pearl the size of a fist.

He slowly looked at the outside of this wooden box in front and said, "There's nothing much, right?"

As for the secret technique recorded therein, I have already largely guessed it.

"That... could it be the magic core of that first-tier snake-type magic beast just now?!"

"Hehe, your luck is occasionally bad, that's right, and it's also possible you just ran into bad luck with him, and..."

And it is the same as those eight rather eye-catching items afterwards.

Before repeatedly uncovering the fine threads beneath the bamboo slips, Zi Yan promptly unfolded the bamboo slips.

"That's right, since that earth demon old ghost deliberately stored that bamboo slip with such great care, there must be extremely important information inside."

Just as a large portion was unfolded, several bloody small characters exuding fierceness suddenly appeared before the eyes of the seven people.
