another Gold Core from a cultivator at this auction, and used the method from last time to refine it into a Taiyin Puppet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the strength of the resulting Taiyin Puppet would naturally be more assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, a puppet refined personally by He Song would be better controlled by him, as if it were an extension of his own arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason He Song resolutely gave up on that semi-finished Gold Core Puppet also included another factor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was because He Song did not believe he had enough spirit stones on him to successfully win the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet at the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price of a Gold Core Puppet was quite steep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if this Gold Core Puppet was currently only semi-finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet a semi-finished Gold Core Puppet only needed a bit more cultivation to successfully advance to a Gold Core Puppet's existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an existence, compared to He Song's approach of personally buying a cultivator's Golden Core, adding a large amount of precious materials, and then refining a Gold Core Puppet by himself using the Golden Core Puppet Refining Method,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was much less troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Source: Webnovel.com, updated on 𝑛𝗈𝘃𝗴𝘰.co\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This included not only the cost of purchasing cultivator's Golden Cores but also the expense of buying large amounts of precious materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the cost of hiring a puppet maker to bring these materials together and refine them into a semi-finished Gold Core Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As well as the subsequent cost of employing an Array Path Master to set up array skills on this semi-finished Gold Core Puppet to accelerate its formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these expenses were quite considerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also one most important expense, and that was time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Golden Elixir Master intended to refine a puppet himself,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the time it would take for a Gold Core Puppet to take shape was at least several decades, and could even be over a hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one starts with a huge investment but still needs to wait for several decades or even over a century to obtain a Gold Core Puppet truly refined by oneself,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this trade would certainly not be worthwhile for other cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was exactly why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purchasing a semi-finished Gold Core Puppet, then subsequently refining it a bit to turn it into a true Gold Core Puppet under one's command,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had become the main way for most Golden Elixir Masters to acquire Gold Core Puppets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this factor was not much of an issue for those Gold Core forces interested in the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Gold Core force, as long as the Golden Elixir Master who founded the force did not meet an untimely demise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>could generally sustain until the end of their lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the time needed to refine a semi-finished Gold Core Puppet into a true Gold Core was actually not long for a Gold Core force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Golden Elixir Master has a lifespan of five hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending a few decades to leave a foundation for one's descendants is something many Golden Elixir Masters are willing to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if the foundation is too costly and difficult to create, that's another matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like refining a Gold Core Puppet from scratch, which is very costly and a troublesome task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The semi-finished Gold Core Puppet at hand has basically completed the most difficult part of the preliminary preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What remains is setting up Array Skills, to bring it to life as a true Gold Core Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the troublesome issues have already been resolved,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and one only needs to spend spirit stones and handle a bit of trouble afterward to leave a foundation for one's descendants,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>those Golden Elixir Masters with Gold Core forces naturally have ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, not all Golden Elixir Masters think this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from those who do think like this, there are also those who possess puppet making skills, or who can refine Array Skills themselves,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as well as those who can obtain cultivator's Golden Cores on their own and would choose to refine Gold Core Puppets themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like He Song, and that Wicked Person of the Demon Tao who has likely reached the Golden Elixir Great Perfection Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song chooses to refine himself because he can both refine puppets and set up Array Skills,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While that Wicked Person of the Demon Tao can kill for Golden Core corpses himself, without needing to spend a great deal of spirit stones to purchase them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, he also has mastered a Great Demon Array for puppet refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, with significantly reduced costs, he would choose to refine puppets on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But cultivators like He Song and that Wicked Person of the Demon Tao, who can significantly reduce costs on their own,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>are not common in the Cultivation World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither He Song nor that Wicked Person of the Demon Tao is an Ordinary Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One can reduce the cost of refining a Gold Core Puppet to the extreme and does not worry about time at all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>while the other is powerful enough to directly kill a Golden Elixir Master and refine them into a puppet with a Great Demon Array they have mastered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To other Gold Core Cultivators, these individuals are rather formidable, one more so than the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song might be disregarded, as the spirit stones he needs for puppet making are less than others, and he does not care about time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they encounter him, He Song might even run faster than they do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they were to actually encounter that Wicked Person of the Demon Tao in reality,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they might really have to weigh their own strength, to prevent themselves from being killed and turned into a puppet by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was for this reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When He Song realized that the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet at the auction might attract the competition of numerous Gold Core forces,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"`\u003C\u002Fp>",992,"2026-06-10T05:03:36.046Z",1,"novelbin.me","bbe4a605a6fc5d86ff936bdf2de52755dbce7eef790e768a5ff912a4d5822b58","i-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-chapter-865","i-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-chapter-863",1957,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-cover.jpg"]
