Su Xing nodded slightly when he saw this, and murmured, "In the art of puppetry, different puppets have very different requirements for skills..."

"If there is no need to fight, and it is just a puppet for daily refining of pills and farming, the requirements for materials and the difficulty of refining are extremely low..."

"And mass production of these low-level puppets is only to obtain more simulation energy..."

"After all, I will soon break through to the Fusion Stage, so I must make early plans for the subsequent simulation energy."

After a pause, Su Xing continued:

"In the last simulation, since we have learned about the mysterious man, maybe we can leave Blue Star through the mysterious man... and go to the Three Thousand Worlds?"

The only way Su Xing could think of to leave Blue Star through the mysterious man was to offer the Spirit Vein Dragon to the mysterious man.

"Maybe we can give it a try...it's just a simulation anyway?"

Thinking so, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.

[You began to try to mass-produce alchemy puppets. Because you had accumulated sufficient experience, you produced two alchemy puppets in just one week.]

[You used third-order exotic metals to make these puppets, and carefully crafted the puppet cores and placed the puppet marks...]

[In one month, you have created about ten alchemy puppets.]

[Just these ten puppets can refine an additional 20,000 Bigu Pills for you in one month.]

[You are very satisfied with this, so in the following time, you study the way of puppets while working hard to improve your understanding of the origin of power.]

[In this way, another two years passed. ]

[In the sixteenth year, on the day of Jingzhe, you will go to the mountains as usual, observing the thunder and understanding the source of power.]

[Your understanding of the origin of power has advanced further, and you are not far from the minor success level.]

[In this way, another two years passed. ]

[In the eighteenth year, your understanding of the Way of Puppetry has successfully entered the minor success level.]

[Your skill in making alchemy puppets has become extremely mature, and you have continuously improved them, and the efficiency of the puppets in alchemy has also increased.]

[However, your understanding of the origin of power has reached a bottleneck, and you guessed that it might be because the purity of the thunder contained in the spring thunder on the day of Jingzhe was not enough, so your progress was slow.]

[In the nineteenth year, you went to the Xianwu Era instance, ready to kill Master Wanmu and seize the Spiritual Vein Dragon.]

[You sneaked into the ruins of Wanmu Sect and awakened the sleeping Wanmu Zhenren. ]

[You and Master Wanmu started a great battle. ]

[After fighting for dozens of rounds, you used the source of power, and with the power multiplied several times, you killed Master Wan Mu with one punch.]

[You have rescued the spirit dragon.]

[The Spiritual Vein Dragon was very excited after being rescued, and rushed towards the ruins of the Wanmu Sect.]

[You were shocked when you saw this and wanted to stop it but it was too late.]

[The breath of the Spiritual Vein Dragon spread to the outside world, and it appeared in the Immortal Martial Era copy. ]

[You take out the spiritual fluid, trying to lure the spiritual dragon closer.]

[The Spiritual Dragon is grateful to you, but it is somewhat afraid of humans. ]

[After hesitating for a long time, the Spiritual Dragon comes over and drinks your spiritual fluid. ]

[Soon, the Spiritual Vein Dragon appears and becomes drunk. You are ready to receive it into the Spiritual Field Cave Heaven.]

[However, at this moment, the voice of the Dragon Guardian suddenly came from a distance. ]

[The Dragon Guardian was very excited, but when he recognized you, his face darkened.]

[He said that the natural treasures belong to those who are capable, and since you are both high-ranking members of the Advent Church, he will let you go as long as you hand over the Spiritual Vein Dragon.]

[You naturally don't want to do this, so you took the lead in putting the Spiritual Vein Dragon into the Spiritual Field Cave Heaven.]

[The Dragon Guardian has a gloomy face, and a battle is about to break out. ]

[You fought with the Dragon Guardian for dozens of rounds. With your understanding of the source of power, you were able to hold your own.]

[Seeing that he can't take you down in a short time, the Dragon Guardian roars and transforms into a real dragon. ]

[After transforming into a true dragon, the power of the Dragon Guardian has reached the late stage of the Primordial Realm. Coupled with its strong dragon scales, it can be considered a strong one in the late stage of the Primordial Realm.]

[Even if you use the Earth Sword and the Source of Power, you are still no match for it. ]

[Without any help, you took out the Spiritual Dragon, but at the same time you also put forward a condition that you both need to meet the mysterious man together.]

[After hearing this, the Dragon Guardian stopped his attack, but he also made his own request. He asked that the Dragon Vein Dragon be kept with him.]

[You naturally reject it in your heart, but you can only agree. ]

In the real world, Su Xing saw this and sighed:

"It's over... Guardian Dragon will definitely intercept us..."

"Sure enough, strength is absolute!"

"If I am stronger than the Dragon Guardian, why would I have to do this? I can just crush him! I can also go meet the mysterious man on my own..."

Su Xing shook his head slightly, but he didn't know the mysterious man's contact information.

Ultimately, we still have to go through the Dragon Guardian to contact the mysterious person and find a way to leave the Blue Star and enter the Three Thousand Worlds.

"Unless something unexpected happens, Dragon Guardian will not keep his word..."

"It seems that it is unlikely that I can leave Blue Star through the Advent Church this time... Well, I will use the next period of time to comprehend the origin of power!"

Su Xing sighed and looked at the simulation panel.

[In the 20th year, you continue to comprehend the source of power every year on the Waking of Insects Day.]

【At the same time, you ask the Dragon Guardian when the mysterious man will arrive. 】

[As expected, the Dragon Guardian always changes the subject and is unwilling to discuss this matter with you.]

[Although you hate the Dragon Guardian, you can do nothing about it.]

[So, you can only work harder to comprehend the source of power and improve the way of puppetry.]

[In this way, another three years passed. ]

[In the twenty-third year, you once again hoped to find the Dragon Guardian, but the Dragon Guardian had disappeared.]

[You went to the Advent Church's treasury, and as expected, the treasury was swept clean. ]

[You go to the Blood Demon Realm, and the blood pools in the Blood Demon Sect have all been moved away...]

[You know that the Dragon Guardian has contacted a mysterious person and left Blue Star.]

[You had anticipated this, and you just practiced harder.]

[In the 25th year, the Demon-Suppressing Pass was destroyed and the human race was in imminent danger.]

[One day, a giant beast descended and swallowed up the entire Great Xia Kingdom in one gulp.]

[You looked at the huge beast that blocked out the sky and the sun, and your heart was calm. You have been waiting for this day for a long time.]

[You are now only one step away from achieving the minor success of the origin of power! ]

[As long as you enter the belly of the giant beast, you can try to comprehend the source of power and reach a minor level. ]

Su Xing saw this and nodded slightly:

"Well, in the Three Thousand Worlds, there may not be a place that can enhance one's understanding of the origin of power..."

"On the contrary, the stomach space of the giant beast is a natural training place for me."

"This time, I must cultivate the source of power to a small degree! After the next simulation... I can try to break into the fusion stage!"

Su Xing felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart and looked towards the simulation panel.

[You hold up your protective Qi and enter the belly of the giant beast.]

[Mountains, continents, rivers, oceans... everything slowly dissipated in the giant beast's stomach, and eventually turned into nothingness.]

[You relied on your super strong body and protective Qi to withstand this powerful gravitational force.]

[Soon, the world fragments began to collide in the giant beast's stomach, and a large area of ​​thunder appeared in front of you.]

[You stepped into the thunder zone without hesitation.]

[Above his head, thunder flashed and lightning was everywhere... The terrifying thunder flashed around Su Xing, and from time to time it struck the protective qi. ]

[But you are not worried. No matter how loud the thunder is outside, you remain calm and just observe the Thunder Road secretly.]

[In this way, several hours passed...]

[You observed several small thunder areas, and you felt that your understanding of the origin of power became clearer.]

[So, you entered the medium-sized thunder area without hesitation...]

[I don't know how long it took, but when you opened your eyes again, a flash of lightning flashed in them.]

[Your understanding of the source of power has finally reached a minor level of success! ]

[You move your mind and use the source of force. You feel that your body strength increases more than tenfold in an instant, and the duration of the increase increases from a few breaths to about a minute.]

[You are pleasantly surprised by the powerful boost brought by the source of power. ]

[But you did not take it lightly, but continued to observe the source of power in the surrounding thunder. ]

[I don’t know how long it has been... You have passed through dozens of Thunder Zones, and no new Thunder Zones have appeared at this time...]

[All you can see is nothingness and terrifying spatial turbulence...]

[You were torn into pieces by the turbulent flow of space, and your soul was annihilated...]

【You are dead! 】

After the simulation ended, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief with a smile on his face.

"Finally, my understanding of the origin of power has successfully reached the minor success level!"

"Taking into account the understanding of the origin of speed brought by the perfection of the Earth Sword... Next, I can try to enter the fusion stage!"

Su Xing felt a little excited and looked towards the simulated reward.

[Excellent Gun Skills]: Purple talent, priced at 1 million energy points.

[Twenty Years of Alchemy Experience]: After exchange, the existing alchemy insights will increase slightly, and the selling price is 2 million energy.

[Comprehension of the Origin of Power (Minor Achievement)]: The origin of power, the basic component of many great ways. After receiving it, your comprehension of the origin of power will be enhanced. The price is 500 million energy.

[The Way of Puppetry (Minor Achievement)]: Received the true teachings from the Ghost Granny, and has mastered the art of refining human puppets and instrument puppets, especially good at refining medicine puppets. After receiving it, one's understanding of the Way of Puppetry will be greatly enhanced. The price is 200 million energy.

Naturally, there is no need to hesitate about the rewards for this simulation.

Su Xing said decisively:

"I choose to bring out the understanding of the origin of power and the way of puppets..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the simulator's prompt sound came to Su Xing's ears.

[You have successfully brought out the original feeling of strength (minor success), spent 500 million energy, and the remaining energy is 2.46343 billion points. ]

[You have successfully brought out the Way of Puppetry (minor success), spending 200 million energy points, and the remaining energy points are 2.26343 billion points.]

The simulator prompt sounded, and two mysterious forces fell into Su Xing's body.

The first thing Su Xing felt was the significant improvement in his understanding of the source of power.

Within the awakened body, there appeared a mysterious energy called the power of origin.

This power is different from spiritual power and also different from elemental power.

It lies between reality and illusion, and yet it is elusive and has a charm that makes people yearn for it.

Su Xing's heart moved, and he slightly stimulated the source of power in his body.

In just a moment, the power of Su Xing increased tenfold! "Hiss... Is this the horror of the Origin?"

"This is an extremely terrifying increase in strength... If I can get in touch with the Great Dao afterwards, how terrifying will it be?"

Su Xing was very satisfied.

"The origin of strength and speed are the basic parts of many great ways..."

"Now that I have comprehended both origins, it will be much faster when I comprehend the great way in the future!"

"Then next, we can officially try to enter the fusion stage!"

Su Xing has already made plans for the next simulation.

Immediately, Su Xing sensed and digested another memory in his body.

This is the art of puppetry that Su Xing learned in the simulation.

It includes the refining and control of instrument puppets and human puppets... puppet imprints, soul imprints, and many other aspects...

This knowledge already existed in Su Xing's mind. It was taught to him by the ghost lady.

However, due to the lack of practical experience, the puppet cannot be forged before awakening.

But now, Su Xing even has a feeling.

He was able to create several puppets with his bare hands! "Each puppet is a tool for alchemy, which means more efficient acquisition of exotic metals... and also means a lot of energy!"

Su Xing murmured.

There is no doubt that for Su Xing, the most cost-effective way to obtain simulated energy now is not to refine pills.

Instead, he was making alchemy puppets! "With my current puppetry skills, I can make two alchemy puppets in a week..."

"And the two puppets can bring me about 5,000 fasting pills a month..."

"If you make eight or nine puppets in a month, you can refine more than 40,000 fasting pills!"

"It only takes one or two months for the puppet's efficiency in alchemy to surpass mine! And the later it gets... the higher the cost-effectiveness of the puppet!"

Su Xing nodded with satisfaction.

This is equivalent to a factory producing goods with manpower.

But then the factory transformed itself and stopped making goods and started making machines that could make goods.

Although it will affect the production efficiency of the goods in the early stage.

But in the later stage, when there are enough machines, the speed will far exceed that of manual labor!

After all, no matter how fast Su Xing is at refining pills, he is just one person and his manpower is limited.

But Su Xing can produce almost infinite puppets.

Su Xing did what he said and immediately tried to produce puppets in Lingtian Cave.

"Well, luckily some of the third- and fourth-level alien metals are left... enough for me to refine a puppet!"

After Su Xing finished speaking, he took out the strange metal, used the Fire Separation Technique, and began to smelt the human-shaped puppet.

Su Xing didn't have high requirements for the puppet. It didn't matter if it looked ugly, as long as it could refine pills normally.

In just two days, Su Xing forged two iron puppets that were about one meter tall and looked somewhat similar to humans.

After that, it took Su Xing more than a day to make the puppet core and puppet mark.

Integrate the puppet mark and core into it, then arrange the spiritual formation with wood and fire attributes, and engrave the talisman on it.

In the end, Su Xing engraved his own soul mark in the puppet core.

"Yes, it's done... only one step left!"

Su Xing took a deep breath, took out two low-grade spirit stones and put them in.

One low-grade spirit stone is enough for this puppet to refine pills for three days without stopping.

"Well, we can set up another formation to reduce the puppet's spiritual power consumption..."

Su Xing touched his chin and spent another half a day carving a spirit-binding formation into the puppet's body.

In the end, the two puppets appeared in front of Su Xing, which only took five days.

After activating the puppets, Su Xing gave orders to the two puppets.

"You... are puppets that specialize in refining elixirs. Let's name you Dan Yi and Dan Er..."

"Now, follow Ah Da and the others to imitate the refining of the Bigu Pill!"

Su Xing gave the order, and soon the two puppets obeyed.

Although this low-level robot does not have the ability of deep learning, it is able to imitate.

In just two days, the two puppets learned the process of refining the Qigong Pill.

Although the efficiency of refining the Bigu Pill was not high at the beginning, the efficiency of this puppet would become faster and faster with constant imitation! Su Xing nodded with satisfaction and murmured: "Not bad, two puppets can be produced in a week. If it is faster... even three puppets can be produced!"

This week, Su Xing did not make any pills.

However, the eight puppets before, including A Da and Xiao Mei, also provided Su Xing with thousands of fasting pills.

These humanoid puppets are more valuable and have strong combat capabilities.

At present, Su Xing has asked them to temporarily take on the task of refining pills, and in the future, they can be used for more advanced tasks such as fighting and spying.

The day came when Su Xing and Jin Congxue met.

Su Xing disguised himself and went to the villa, where he had a meal with Jin Congxue. After the transaction, he returned to Lingtian Cave.

This week's cargo is still approximately 150 million simulated energies.

In this way, the simulated energy of awakening reached 2.41843 billion points.

"More than two billion simulation energies, although it seems like a large amount...but the subsequent cultivation in the fusion stage will require even more energy!"

"I must accumulate more simulation energy as soon as possible, otherwise my breakthrough speed will become slower and slower..."

Su Xing murmured.

On December 23, 2024 in the new era, Su Xing prepared to start a new round of simulation.

"Start simulation!"

[Ding! This simulation consumed 6,700 energy points, the remaining energy is 2,418,430,000 points, and there are no remaining simulation times.]

[Simulation starts! ]

[It costs 100,000 energy points to extract purple talent, and 1 million energy points to extract golden legendary talent. Do you want to extract? ]

Looking at the option of drawing talents in front of him, Su Xing was slightly hesitant.

"With my current strength, even if I draw out the Dragon Slayer, I may not be a match for Old Dog Long..."

"Why not break through to the Fusion Stage first, and then make plans..."

Thinking of this, Su Xing silently said:

"I choose to draw the golden legendary talent!"

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the purple talent Chess Master. The probability of receiving the gold talent next time is 60%...]

[Chess Master]: Purple talent, your talent in chess is far superior to that of ordinary people, and you are good at making plans. Chess, painting, etc. are all among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals...
