Chapter 143 Puppet Talisman?
"Oh, are you angry?"
"snort!"
"Since you want me so badly, then do it yourself!"
As Jun Yi spoke, she suddenly lay down on the bed, looking like she was being ravaged, and said in a coquettish voice, "I hope you will be gentle with me, young master, and not hurt me!"
Ye Luo chuckled at his joke, her anger instantly turning to delight. She punched his chest a few times and said angrily, "Get lost! This old flower has no interest in picking you!"
Seeing that he had finally calmed him down, Jun Yi grabbed the man's pounding wrist and pinned him down. "Baby... how about we make some preparations first, so you won't suffer later?"
"How...how do I do it?"
Jun Yi smiled and raised his hand, instantly making Ye Luo's ears turn red. She then obediently let him take off her clothes...
One hour later...
"Get out!"
Ye Luo was wrapped in a thin blanket, crying with tears streaming down her face, and kept kicking his shoulder.
Jun Yi's face showed bitterness, and he gestured helplessly...
It's far inferior to his practical gadgets...
"I don't care... just don't do it anymore!"
"Alright, alright, my little darling, I won't do it anymore, okay?" Jun Yi pulled him out of the covers and slapped his little bottom a few times in annoyance. "You can't handle this anymore, so you're not allowed to tease me anymore, understand?!"
“I heard you…” Ye Luo nodded, lowered her eyes for a moment, and then pushed Jun Yi away a little…
"Don't... don't worry about it..."
Ye Luo ignored him, her eyes filled with shyness, which made Jun Yi's heart melt. His long, slender fingers combed through her soft hair, gently twirling it between his fingertips...
After a long while, Jun Yi half-closed his eyes and slightly raised his chin, his noble and abstinent face tinged with an unusual radiance, a sight that made Ye Luo's heart pound wildly.
The sudden cessation of pleasure caused Jun Yi to slowly open his eyes and look at him. His reddened eyelids were filled with endless doting tenderness, enough to make anyone fall in love with him like a moth to a flame.
Ye Luo wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. At that moment, their breaths mingled together, lingering and inseparable.
...
The next day, early morning.
Ye Luo was woken up by Jun Yi's kiss. In her drowsy state, she heard him say that he was going to leave for a few days, and she mumbled a reply before falling back asleep.
When he woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky, and looking around the cave, he was indeed nowhere to be found.
"Uh...where did he say he was going...?" Ye Luo yawned and scratched his head, thinking for a long time but still couldn't remember, so he had no choice but to give up.
After a short rest, Ye Luo began to meditate in the spiritual spring. He had been too busy with the competition to concentrate on his cultivation during this period.
After sorting out his thoughts for a long time, he finally began to continue cultivating the "Great Divine Guidance Technique." He had already experienced the importance of a strong divine sense during this competition.
With focused cultivation, Ye Luo quickly broke through to the third level. He instantly felt his divine sense become much stronger. He sat cross-legged, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and stood up. "It seems I should go find my fifth senior brother to learn puppetry techniques."
After saying that, he left the cave. When he flew to the training ground with his fan, he looked at the miserable state of the people below and couldn't help but twitch his eyes.
miserable.
They were completely crushed.
Cen Feng and Xiao Huan, along with several others, were sprawled out on the training ground, seemingly having just been sparred with by Yu Qianling and were now lying on the ground, stubbornly refusing to get up.
Yu Qianling: "Life lies in battle! How will you improve your cultivation if you all look so afraid of fighting?!"
"This...this has nothing to do with being afraid of fighting..." Xiao Huan lay on the ground, looking utterly hopeless. This woman had been fighting here for almost a whole day, and he was really starting to lose his grip. He begged for mercy, "Sister, please leave..."
"...Do you dislike me that much?"
The group kept their eyes down, silently thinking to themselves: Don't you have any self-awareness?!
Ye Luo sat on the flying fan for a while and decided that it would be better to find Cen Feng at another time. After all, if he got entangled with this older sister, he might not be able to learn the puppetry technique!
Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Xiao Huan spotted Ye Luo and exclaimed with delight, "Junior Brother Ye! Come down and play!"
Ye Luo: "..." What the hell.
How despicable!
Startled by his sudden shout, Yu Qianling naturally saw him too. "Junior brother, I've finally caught you! Come down, come down!"
Helpless, Ye Luo could only jump down: "Hehe, Third Senior Sister, your cultivation has improved again!"
"That's right, hurry up and have a match with me."
"Well... it's not impossible, but sparring should always be targeted, otherwise it's just a waste of effort."
"What do you mean?" Yu Qianling asked, puzzled. "Do you have some good training methods?"
Ye Luo: "I want to learn the art of combat fusion from you. How about you be my sparring partner?"
"What combat fusion?" Yu Qianling frowned and thought for a moment, seemingly understanding his meaning. "Oh, you mean you want to merge swordsmanship and talismanic arts together?"
Ye Luo: "That's right, Third Senior Sister, I was just about to ask you how you combined talismans with spear techniques?"
"Um... I just naturally learned it, I don't know how to explain it..." Yu Qianling was telling the truth. She had always been quick to understand combat, but she couldn't quite put her finger on the key to it.
"Come, come, sit down and tell me your thoughts. I'll see if I can understand them."
Everyone cast grateful glances at Ye Luo, and Xiao Huan immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, comprehension is something that can only be gained through sitting down and slowly conversing and understanding."
Yu Qianling: "But... there's not much to teach here. It's just about controlling your concentration and practicing more. Just understanding it won't help. Let's have a real sparring match instead."
"..."
Ye Luo: "No, it's useful! Theoretical knowledge is necessary."
Yu Qianling: "That seems to make sense..."
"...Then let's do it another day. I'll come back to spar with Third Senior Sister after I've mastered it!"
Yu Qianling: "Okay, then you definitely can't forget!"
"Hehe, that's natural." Ye Luo breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Cen Feng, who looked utterly dejected. Looking at the unknown puppet limbs on the ground, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
Fifth Senior Brother.
"what?"
"I'll give you spirit stones to make a new puppet, and you'll teach me puppetry, okay?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the martial arts arena looked astonished. Cen Feng got up from the ground and asked, "You...you really want to learn puppetry?"
"yes."
"are you serious?"
"Can't you see the sincerity on my face?"
Yu Qianling, standing to the side, frowned and said, "Junior brother, you've studied so many different things... can you digest and integrate them all?"
"At least have a concept first."
Cen Feng: "Junior brother, although you have also studied the Great Divine Guidance Technique, puppetry mainly involves making puppets, which requires a lot of effort and time..."
Ye Luo laughed and said, "Of course I know that, so I wanted to skip the step of making the puppet and borrow your puppet for a while."
"Borrow? How can I borrow it? It already recognized its master when it was created..."
"Aren't there talismanic treasures and true treasures?" Ye Luo looked at Yu Qianling beside her and asked, "Third Senior Sister, is there any way to seal a puppet into a talisman?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qianling pondered for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "It seems so! Let me look for it!"
So Yu Qianling sat down on the ground and took out several books on talismans to look through. The crowd naturally gathered around.
An hour passed just like that, and Yu Qianling was still diligently searching when she suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Hey, I finally found it!"
"Let me see!" Ye Luo took the book from her hand and saw the three words 'Puppet Talisman' on the page.
"Puppet Talisman: It can summon and seal a shadow puppet. The number of times the puppet can be summoned, as well as its supernatural powers and strength, depends on the crafting level and the cultivation level of the person who manipulates the talisman."
Seeing Ye Luo's excited expression, Yu Qianling asked, "So... you want to combine talismans with puppetry?"
"That's right! Since we can merge together, why do we have to go our separate ways?"
"What an incredible idea..." Xiao Huan couldn't help but admire it. As expected of a genius, even his cultivation ideas were so novel.
If Ye Luo integrates everything she has learned according to this idea...
That would be absolutely awesome!
He felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it. What kind of being would that be?
"Fifth Senior Brother, quickly release all your puppets, big and small!" At this moment, Ye Luo couldn't wait to try it out and took out a brush and talisman paper from his storage bracelet.
Cen Feng: "Huh? You're going to draw it now?"
Ye Luo: "Otherwise what? Do we have to pick an auspicious time?"
"..."
Ye Luo: "Hurry up, release the puppet!"
"Oh." Cen Feng patted his storage bag and released several puppets, instantly filling the huge training ground. "You can draw them."
Ye Luo got up and considered the options before deciding to start with a small puppet. "You'll do."
After he finished speaking, he sat down in front of a small puppet and began to make talismans according to the method in the book. Everyone in the room dared not breathe, for fear of affecting his performance.
Suddenly, with a "bang," the talisman in front of Ye Luo exploded, emitting a plume of black smoke as it dissipated.
"Did it fail?" Yu Qianling stepped forward to take a look, then said, "Let me give it a try."
Ye Luo couldn't figure out the key to it for a moment, so he could only nod and hand the brush in his hand to her, saying, "...Just now, for some reason, when it was about to succeed, it seemed that the spiritual power was insufficient and the seal failed."
"Insufficient spiritual power?" After pondering for a moment, Yu Qianling began to draw with focused concentration, but after a short while, the talisman still exploded.
"Hmm? That shouldn't be the case..." Ye Luo fell into deep thought. Yu Qianling was a practitioner of both martial arts and talisman cultivation, and was at the Core Formation stage. His spiritual power was definitely not weak, and his comprehension of talisman cultivation was no worse than his. How could his talisman have also exploded?
“This book doesn’t have any specific annotations either…” Yu Qianling held the book in his hand, flipping through it back and forth, completely puzzled. “I also felt that at the very last moment when I was about to succeed, the runes instantly collapsed.”
“That’s a matter of attributes.” At this moment, Ming Cang walked over from a distance, looking at the book in her hand. “I didn’t expect that you guys would actually be researching this talisman…”
Yu Qianling asked, "Master, what does this mean?"
Ming Cang: "Whether it's talismans, formations, or puppets, they all have certain corresponding attributes. If you want to combine the two, you have to use the power of the corresponding attributes."
Yu Qianling suddenly realized, "Oh, I understand now, because I have both fire and earth spiritual roots, I can't seal the wood-type puppet at all!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo instantly understood. It seemed that he was missing a wood elemental root. "Indeed... having all elemental roots is the most powerful!"
No wonder those powerful beings, when they encounter bottlenecks in their cultivation later on, have to cultivate other spiritual roots; there must be a lot of reasons for it.
"Xiao Ling, why don't you try a fire-type puppet?"
"good!"
Having grasped the key, Yu Qianling picked up his pen, concentrated, and completed the work in one go. Sure enough, he didn't fail again. "Hahaha, I succeeded!"
"Hmm, not bad!"
Ming Cang looked at Ye Luo beside him, who remained silent, and smiled, "Little Luo, the strength of your elemental power is closely related to your cultivation level. Don't be discouraged if you can't draw it now; you'll naturally be able to when your cultivation level is higher."
"Um... I can draw." Seeing Ming Cang's doubtful look, Ye Luo added, "...Then I'll draw one for you?"
“Great! If you can draw it, you can ask your master for a reward.”
"Alright, a promise is a promise!"
Ye Luo chose a small metal-elemental puppet, activated the metal attribute of the decaprism within her body, and completed the task in one smooth motion, abandoning all concentration. "Hahahaha, Master, I succeeded!"
"How is this possible?!"
Ming Cang examined the puppet talisman and found it to be a successful talisman with extremely rich elemental power. He looked at it with suspicion.
"What the hell have you been up to, you little rascal?"
"Master, please don't wrong me. What cheat could I possibly do in front of everyone?" Ye Luo's eyes gleamed with slyness as she chuckled, "Master, you promised me you could give me a reward!"
Mingcang's heart skipped a beat when he saw the wicked smile on his face.
This kid... could it be that he wants those spirit stones back?
"Then, what kind of reward do you want?"
"Hmm... what is it?" Ye Luo had already seen through his thoughts. She pretended to be thinking seriously, then suddenly clapped her hands and laughed, "I can't think of anything for now, let's save it for later."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Mingcang breathed a sigh of relief. This kid really knows how to handle things!
"Alright then, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." With that, he vanished in a flash, leaving the group looking at each other in bewilderment.
Because he needed to conceal the secret within his body, Ye Luo stopped drawing any more puppet talismans. Since his idea had been confirmed, that was enough for him. So he made up some excuses and left.
