Chapter 213

Cheng Hui had no idea about Lin Qingyang's complicated psychological activities, nor did he know that he was just one step away from becoming the same puppet in front of him.

He just admired it curiously for a while and then stopped paying attention.

Anyway, this puppet should have the mark left by its master. After they get out, they can find a suitable environment and put her anywhere. It won't take long for the top-grade spirit stone in her body to recover.

When she wakes up, she will naturally go to find her owner.

As for hiding this puppet for his own use... Cheng Hui doesn't have that ability yet.

Puppets are different from magic weapons. Magic weapons can be forced to recognize their masters - that is, they have to be the kind without spirits. If you want to force this puppet to recognize its master, you are probably trying to commit suicide.

This thing will self-destruct.

And if a puppet that possesses five top-grade spirit stones - even if they are empty - and whose cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, were to self-destruct, even the huge Qiankuncheng would be in trouble.

So Cheng Hui wisely gave up the idea of ​​collecting this puppet.

His indifference surprised Lin Qingyang a little. He thought Ah Hui would be very interested in this puppet with magic arrays engraved all over its body.

After hearing Cheng Hui's explanation, he couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry, Ah Hui. Yanshi Guleng never leaves his mark on his puppets. Every time he makes a puppet, he sends it away. To him, the best puppet is always the next one. The ones he's already made are just 'junk', which is easy to make."

"A 'waste' of the Nascent Soul stage???" Cheng Hui pointed at the maid with trembling fingers.

Lin Qingyang nodded. "Yes, Gu Leng enjoyed the sense of accomplishment after successfully creating a puppet, but he didn't have much of an obsession with the puppet itself. He created countless puppets in his lifetime, but most of them were given away. Only a few were kept by his side."

What he didn't say was that, if he remembered correctly, this maid puppet should be the last puppet left by Gu Leng.

He still remembered that when he visited Guleng, the maid's head seemed to be placed in his studio.

Lin Qingyang slowly lowered his eyes. When Gu Leng passed away, he left a message saying that he had left all his inheritance in the puppet he made.

Gu Leng's puppet-making skills were amazing. At that time, countless people wanted to find his inheritance. Those people found all the puppets that Gu Leng had made in the later period and took them apart, but unfortunately they still could not find any clues.

At that time, those people unanimously believed that Gu Leng must have hidden the inheritance in the puppets that accompanied him at the end.

It's a pity... At that time, there were five puppets around Gu Leng, each of which had the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage. They moved and sat and lay down just like ordinary people. After Gu Leng's death, someone found several replaced human heads in the place where he lived.

It was obvious that those puppets had already left with Guleng's remains, and they had left with a different appearance. No one could find any clues about them.

The maid in front of me is very likely one of them. Maybe... she may have clues left by Gu Leng?

Lin Qingyang slowly lowered his eyes. Whether there was one or not, he didn't care.

Although Gu Leng's puppetry skills are powerful, that's all he can do. If Ah Hui likes it, he can go and look for it. If he doesn't like it, it's also okay to just use the puppet as a maid.

He didn't like anyone else getting close to Ah Hui, but puppets were not human beings, so it was reassuring to let her take care of Ah Hui's daily life.

Cheng Hui had no idea that in just a short while, Lin Qingyang had already arranged the future work of this puppet.

He just obediently put the puppet into the storage ring. As for whether it could be used or not, how easy it was to use - he would talk about it after he got out. Anyway, he couldn't use it here.

He indeed had no shortage of spirit stones, but it was limited to consumption at the Jindan level. The mountains of spirit stones in his storage ring were mostly mid-grade spirit stones, with only about a hundred high-grade spirit stones, and not a single top-grade spirit stone at all.

Therefore, if one wants to activate this puppet, he can only wait until he gets out and let the top-grade spirit stone in her body absorb the spiritual energy to recover on its own. Anyway, Cheng Hui doesn't have the ability to recharge her.

Lin Qingyang's injuries were almost healed after he took the pill. Cheng Hui then confidently handed over the task of exploring the path to him, and he also swallowed the pill and began to recover.

Because they are not short of money, the healing pills they buy are the most effective among similar pills. The only drawback is that they cannot be disturbed during healing, otherwise it will easily cause spiritual backlash.

Of course, Cheng Hui also carried with him another kind of pill that could be taken during battle, but in terms of effect, it was far inferior to the previous one.

When Cheng Hui began to close his eyes and heal his wounds, Lin Qingyang also tied him up and began to explore this wonderful space.

There is no distinction between up, down, left and right in this space. One can only see a blue-gray wall in the distance, as if standing in the distance.

Lin Qingyang knew that the so-called wall was actually the cyclone of the spiritual storm. It was very strange. Looking out from the inside, the cyclone seemed to be still, and there was no sign of its original violence. But once you put your arm in, you would immediately feel severe pain. Even if you pulled it back immediately, you would only get a bloody arm.

Lin Qingyang did not approach those walls. Those walls were very unstable and might suddenly shrink at any time.

If you are unlucky enough to be in that position, you will be immediately cut into pieces.

He kept a certain distance and walked slowly along the wall. From time to time, he could see something suddenly "spit out" from a certain part of the wall.

Suddenly, he paused, and saw a bulge in the distant wall, and then the bulge broke, and a bloody figure was "spitted out", and then the wall returned to its original state.

Lin Qingyang walked past the bloody mess without looking away, but was suddenly grabbed by the corner of his clothes...

"Hey, beauty, help me..." The man was obviously extremely weak, but he could still smile.

Lin Qingyang's expression was very subtle. He touched his face and realized that the magic on his face had been completely destroyed in the spiritual storm. Since there were no outsiders around before, he forgot to cast that kind of spell that could be easily overlooked on himself. Unexpectedly, this person saw his true face.

He glanced down at the man, who reflexively gave him a wicked smile.

Unfortunately, he seemed to ignore the blood on his face, causing the smile that should have been handsome to become extremely hideous.

Lin Qingyang: ...

He pulled back the corner of his clothes with an expressionless face and turned to leave.

It would be better for such an idiot who wants to act cool before dying to die early, so as not to lower the average level of the cultivation world.

"Hey hey... beauty... no, fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist, help me!"

The man looked like he was only breathing his last breath, but he was unexpectedly tenacious. He managed to hold on and grab Lin Qingyang's trouser leg again.

Lin Qingyang: ...

How annoying! If Ah Hui hadn't been on top of him and could have woken up at any moment, he would have killed him long ago.

He stared at the man coldly, trying to make him understand with his eyes that he had no extra kindness.

But this man seemed to be blind, and just held on to his trouser legs tightly and refused to let go. I don’t know if he was afraid of really angering Lin Qingyang, but when he was holding on to his trouser legs, he was very skillful not to get the blood on his hands.

"Fellow Daoist! Just one pill, one pill can save me. Look, I'm strong and good-looking. I'm suitable to be a boss or a younger brother. It's also very face-saving to take me out!" The man tried hard to promote himself.

Lin Qingyang: ...

He also didn't expect that this person could be so humble and even say this: "little brother."

But then I thought, my life is about to end. As long as I can survive, let alone being his younger brother, maybe he would even be willing to be his male concubine...

Bah! What is he thinking!

Lin Qingyang's heart trembled, and he waved away the strange thoughts in his mind. In order to avoid being entangled by him, he simply took out the cheapest pill and threw it over.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" The man's eyes lit up, and without any doubt that it was poison, he swallowed the pill in one gulp.

Lin Qingyang always felt that he couldn't understand this person. They both had the Jindan cultivation level, but the man in front of him was only at the early Jindan stage and was no match for him. However, he had Cheng Hui on his back who couldn't be disturbed, so he didn't want to continue to pester him and turned around to leave.

When the man saw Lin Qingyang was about to leave, he quickly wiped the blood off his head and body and followed him.

Lin Qingyang: ...???

"Why are you following me?" Lin Qingyang asked coldly.

"Beautiful... Fellow Daoist, I feel that the surrounding environment is unfamiliar, so I want to travel with you..." The man swallowed the word "beautiful" decisively after meeting the other's murderous eyes.

He didn't lie. After all, this place didn't look simple at first glance. Instead of taking risks alone, it would be better to explore it together.

Although he didn't know the background of the person in front of him, he could tell from the other party's action of giving him the elixir just now that at least this person was not a demon cultivator.

The man was not stupid. He was indeed seriously injured just now, but it was far from the point of being seriously injured and dying. He asked Lin Qingyang for the elixir, on the one hand, to let the other party let down his guard and show weakness to the enemy. In this way, if the other party had bad intentions and wanted to attack him, he could take this opportunity to counterattack.

Secondly, he really had no pills left. If the other party was kind enough to give him a pill, he would be able to recover faster and face the possible danger.

It can be said that as long as he is willing to shamelessly ask for the elixir, he will not lose out in any way.

"I don't like traveling with others." Lin Qingyang said this coldly in his face.

"No!" The man didn't mind at all. Instead, he said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, as the saying goes, one hero needs three helpers. The environment here is unknown, and it's hard to judge whether there are any dangers. Bringing me with you will give you more strength. It will also be convenient to use me as cannon fodder to explore the way when necessary!"

After hearing this, Lin Qingyang looked at this person straight in the eye for the first time. The fact that he could explain his role as a cannon fodder to explore the way so directly proved that he was at least a smart person.

In fact, Lin Qingyang already has a rough idea of ​​how to leave here, but it still needs to be improved. If necessary, letting this kid explore the way would be a safer method.

After all...if he doesn't go, then Cheng Hui will have to go.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to go, but Cheng Hui’s defense is stronger, and he can’t let himself, a relatively fragile magic cultivator, go to explore the way.

Instead of letting Ah Hui take risks, why not keep this man?

Anyway, with his abilities, he shouldn't be a threat to either of them.

Lin Qingyang thought thoughtfully, then nodded and agreed to let the man follow him.
