Chapter 317: Nascent Soul Puppet, Heaven-Reaching Refining Treasure Art

"Damn, how can they be this poor?"

After checking the Storage Bags of these four Nascent Soul Cultivators, Zhou Sui was speechless.

He discovered that there were hardly any Spirit Stones inside the Storage Bags; there were only two or three hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones and about a hundred thousand Upper-grade Spirit Stones, which was quite poor for Nascent Soul Cultivators.

As for Fourth-Tier Treasure Pills, there wasn't a single one.

He estimated that even if they had any Fourth-Tier Treasure Pills, they would have certainly consumed them immediately.

Besides that, he only found some Fourth-Tier materials.

One could only say that the four Li brothers were unimaginably poor.

No wonder that, despite being Nascent Soul Cultivators, they could only act as Robber Cultivators, looting and plundering everywhere.

Of course, generally speaking, Nascent Soul Cultivators would not be this poor.

It was just that they had spent most of their wealth on the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect.

That was what led to their destitution.

"No, that's not right; it should be that they spent their entire net worth on the Nascent Soul Puppets."

"After all, the materials required for a Nascent Soul Puppet are quite expensive."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

He thought about it carefully and immediately understood the logic behind it.

Aside from cultivation, these few Nascent Soul Cultivators also spent a large amount of wealth on these four Nascent Soul Puppets.

After all, these Puppets were of great value.

If they were to be sold, they would likely be even more expensive than an Upper Grade Spirit Treasure.

Because a Nascent Soul Puppet can remain immortal for ten thousand years, it is equivalent to possessing an undying Nascent Soul combat force.

If an ordinary Immortal Cultivation family were to obtain a Nascent Soul Puppet, it could guarantee their prosperity for thousands of years.

It could be said that this was simply a treasure to anchor the sect, worth a fortune.

Especially in this current era, the technology to refine Nascent Soul Puppets has almost been lost.

"Looking at it this way, the most valuable thing is still the Inheritance Jade Slip of the Transformation God sect, the Refining Treasure Sect."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He sensed that there were Inheritance Jade Slips left inside the Storage Bags, all of which the four Li brothers had obtained from the Transformation God Relic, coming from the inheritance of the Refining Treasure Sect.

These were the truly precious Treasures.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and immediately threw these Inheritance Jade Slips to the Book Gu, letting the Book Gu swallow them.

Having advanced to the Fourth-Tier Middle-Grade realm, the Book Gu was clearly faster at swallowing and digesting the Inheritance Jade Slips.

Rumble~~~

Suddenly, a stream of information instantly sank into the depths of his consciousness, and various secret manuals regarding the Refining Treasure Sect appeared within the Virtual Book City inside the Book Gu.

He also instantly learned about the many inheritance secrets of the Refining Treasure Sect.

Overall, the Refining Treasure Sect had two major secret manuals.

The first was the Refining Treasure Art, which was a technique for refining Dharma Treasures; once learned, one could smelt various materials and refine different Dharma Treasures, or even Puppets.

It is said that when cultivated to the highest realm, one can even refine Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures; it is one of the strongest treasure-refining techniques in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Relying on this technique, the Refining Treasure Sect refined a large number of Dharma Treasures, almost becoming the main Dharma Treasure manufacturer of the Immortal Cultivation World.

Who knows how many cultivators took pride in using Dharma Treasures from the Refining Treasure Sect.

The second was the Great Expansion Divine Split Art, which was a supreme technique for controlling Puppets.

After all, after refining a Puppet, one still needs to control it.

This technique is a supreme method for utilizing divine sense, allowing one's divine sense to be split into countless strands.

As long as one cultivates the first layer of the technique, one can divide their divine sense into nine strands, capable of controlling nine Puppets.

If one cultivates to the second layer, one can divide it into eighteen strands, capable of controlling eighteen Puppets.

The third layer allows for thirty-six strands, controlling thirty-six Puppets.

And the fourth layer allows for seventy-two strands, controlling seventy-two Puppets.

The fifth layer is the highest realm of this technique, capable of dividing into one hundred and forty-four strands, fully capable of easily controlling over a hundred Puppets.

Therefore, in its prime, the Refining Treasure Sect, relying on these two techniques, refined a large number of Puppets, allowing one person to become an army, controlling over a hundred Puppets to sweep across the world.

Even the Demon Race would turn and leave upon seeing cultivators from the Refining Treasure Sect, not daring to contend with them at all.

"The reason the Refining Treasure Sect was so prosperous in the Ancient Era was all thanks to the invasion of the Ancient Demon World."

"Because for refining Puppets, the most important thing is materials."

"If there are no materials, even a Grandmaster-level treasure refiner cannot refine a Dharma Treasure."

"Due to the Demon Race invasion, a large number of Monster Beasts fell, and a large amount of cheap Puppet materials could be obtained from the Monster Beasts."

"Coupled with the collision of the two worlds and frequent wars, the demand for Dharma Treasures rose day by day."

"In this way, the Refining Treasure Sect naturally grew rapidly, and its influence continued to expand."

"They also collected a large amount of Puppet materials and refined many Puppets."

"In their prime, they even refined several Transformation God Puppets, and their influence was unmatched for a time."

"Unfortunately, good times did not last, and the demons invaded."

"The result was that the Refining Treasure Sect fell during the great demon catastrophe, leaving behind only a pile of ruins and the Refining Treasure Sect's inheritance."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He learned the past history of the Refining Treasure Sect from this inheritance knowledge and knew the reason for its rise and fall.

Clearly, the invasion of the Ancient Demon World did not cause the fall of the Transformation God sects.

Instead, it was the demon invasion that led to the destruction of many Transformation God sects.

No wonder the Immortal Cultivation World of the ancient era was more resentful toward demons, yet relatively indifferent toward the invasion of the Ancient Demon World.

After all, although the invasion of Monster Beasts brought war, it also brought a certain degree of benefits.

Both sides slaughtered each other, with give and take.

Instead, it promoted the development of the two great worlds.

Furthermore, high-level Cultivators and high-level Monster Beasts are actually rational and will not suffer mutual destruction.

When the fighting reaches a certain point, they will even cease fire and not exhaust everything.

But demons are different; they are simply endless and irreconcilable.

There is absolutely no room for any compromise.

"The cultivation technique of the Spirit Severing sect, Refining Treasure Sect, is indeed not bad."

"If it were obtained by other Cultivators, it might be able to create some Artifact refining masters and Grandmasters."

"However, for me, it is merely icing on the cake."

"No matter how powerful a Puppet is, how can it compare to my clone?"

"This is simply painting a snake and adding feet."

"But this Artifact refining knowledge is indeed of great help to me; at the very least, it can help me refine array disks and Array Flags, and can promote the growth of my Array Dao cultivation."

Zhou Sui is also not very interested in Artifact refining knowledge.

After all, his energy is basically on Alchemy and Array Formations; as for Talismans and Dharma Treasures, their status is naturally secondary.

Of course, it is not to say that Puppets have no use.

If they can be refined, they can also increase the foundation of the Xuanhuang Sect.

At the very least, they can also be given to his Dao Companions to use, increasing the combat power of his Dao Companions.

"Right, since the heaven and earth Spirit Root, Evergreen Vine, has been brought back, it is also time to let Ji Bingyu and the others practice the Green Emperor Longevity Technique." Zhou Sui's heart stirred; after all, this matter brooks no delay, because the earlier they practice, the greater the benefits of this technique will be for them.
