Chapter 19: The Cardinal Puppet

  "Hey kid! Hurry up and return my toy, Lulu's patience is wearing thin!"

  Yizhen widened his eyes in a daze, and the giant puppet Ruru threatened Yizhen with a loud voice. One of its large hands tried to sneakily touch the Blood Corpse Giant.

  Although the mysterious content of the Dark Ages is rich, it also gives rise to endless reveries in my heart, but this exchange that took place in the sea of recognition only lasted for less than a breath.

  At a glance, the blood corpse giant's eerie and terrifying appearance made Yizhong's heart suddenly feel better. Looking at Lulu's expression, it seemed like he couldn't wait for others to notice his tension towards the blood corpse giant. Even if someone else were in Yizhong's position right now, they wouldn't have handed over the blood corpse giant either.

  "The Blood Corpse Giant and you are symbiotic, your life is still in my hands."

  As they spoke, one of them intentionally teased and pinched the giant's fingers tightly, causing it to shout "Hulu hulu..." nonstop.

  Because he suddenly discovered that this tall and powerful puppet giant was a pretty good fighter, and his mind seemed relatively simple. If it could be subdued, it should be very obedient.

  The giant puppet was about to blow up, but saw that one drunkard had an expression similar to the great demon king, seemingly smiling yet not smiling. Suddenly, it was like a punctured balloon and quickly deflated.

  If Yizui has called out the forbidden name of Blood Corpse Giant, then it's not surprising that he saw through their symbiotic relationship.

  As a puppet, Lulu has her own consciousness at the cost of establishing a symbiotic relationship with the long-lived Blood Giant, sharing weal and woe.

  However, he has been confined to this forbidden land since he was conscious, and the Blood Corpse Giant has not had a chance to grow up. Moreover, he didn't take it seriously, now being strangled by someone else is also inexcusable.

  "Lu Lu is a puppet, and puppets won't die!"

  Lu Lu made a last-ditch effort and loudly refuted Yi Zui.

  "Yes, puppets won't die, but Lulu is going to die, what a pity..."

  He shook his head and pretended to be regretful, but in fact he couldn't destroy the puppet. The material was simply infuriating, and it's estimated that it would take until the Yuan Ying period to inflict fatal damage on the puppet.

  But if he just exerted a bit more force and strangled the Bloodied Giant to death, Ruru's consciousness would also disappear into thin air.

  However, that was not the result he wanted. There shouldn't be any other treasures in this forbidden land, and the old monks didn't come, making him nervous for half a day. How could he not take some benefits?

  The Blood Corpse Giant and the Puppet Giant both made Wu Xie drool with envy, but now he could hardly get anything out of his small bag, and had reached a state where he wanted to pluck feathers from a passing goose.

  "Alright, as long as you feed Lulu full every day, I'll hand over the core spell array to you."

  Lulu said pitifully, her big head hung down to her chest, just like a child who had done something wrong waiting for their parents' punishment.

  But as he lowered his head, a sly smile like that of a fox flashed across Ruru's big eyes, and he had long wanted to leave this ghostly place, now it seemed like an opportunity.

  One intoxication in his heart suddenly overjoyed, he was afraid that the giant puppet would be a stubborn and unyielding wooden stake, rather die than surrender. Hearing that LuLu was willing to hand over the core formation, One Intoxication didn't care about anything else.

  It's just eating one's fill, no problem, at worst bring Ruru to Wufangzhai to grab a few big bags of delicious food pellets, and quickly nod in agreement.

  Lulu didn't have any evil intentions at this time. A small blue light ball escaped from Lulu's forehead and entered the drunken sea of consciousness.

  As long as the core spell of Lulu is destroyed, Lulu will completely lose consciousness and become a puppet that can't even execute basic commands, only useful for retrieving precious materials.

  Unless someone is willing to capture the yuan soul of a true immortal and imprison it in the body of a giant puppet, but will the captured yuan soul listen obediently?

  One Drunk laughed happily and patted the Blood Corpse Giant, who had been pinched by him again and again. The poor Blood Corpse Giant looked at One Drunk with tears in his eyes. After leaving a soul mark on the Blood Corpse Giant's body, One Drunk was completely relieved.

  Looking back, the harvest is quite good. Chu Kuang died, and a puppet giant with the power to rival Yuan Ying's cultivation was obtained. A blood corpse giant was also left as a secret weapon. Who knows if the blood corpse giant will grow up to become a powerful killing machine for the demon clan in the future?

  "Master, Lulu is hungry..."

  Lulu, who had handed over the core law array, looked a bit down in spirit, with eyes full of pleading.

  One drunk, naturally unwilling to eat his words, said that he would take care of everything and would definitely take care of everything. A man should keep his promises, so from a small purse, he took out all the edible things, even some extra nourishing pills were taken out.

  Lulu took out the food that Yizhen had brought, but instead of eating it, she looked worried and unhappy. She handed the food to the Blood Corpse Giant, until she saw the Qi Restoration Pills, at which point her eyes lit up. She popped the pills into her mouth like they were sugar beans, then continued to clutch her stomach and pitifully look at Yizhen: "Lulu wants to eat crystal stones, Lulu is very hungry..."

  One Drunken originally saw the Blood Corpse Giant happily devouring food and making "gululu" cheering sounds, feeling a bit pleased in his heart, decided to give the Blood Corpse Giant a name called "Gululu", but as soon as he heard Lulu say she wanted to eat Crystal Stones, One Drunken suddenly felt cheated!

  It wasn't until now, after being drunk, that I suddenly realized that RuRu is a puppet, not a living thing!

  Lulu's wisdom has blinded his subconscious!

  Just as he was about to hand over the crystal stone stored in his small bag, a lean figure appeared beside him.

  Drunk but not afraid, he thought with a hint of doubt in his mind whether he had been deceived by those old monks.

  He took a glance at Lulu's massive body, then looked at the Blood Corpse Giant who was devouring mountains and seas, and suddenly felt like he had acquired two big appetite kings.

  I really don't know how such a small body can swallow down a mountain of food.

  As for Lu Lu, he didn't dare look directly at them. Those crystal stones, just one glance was enough to evoke unspeakable bitterness and heartache.

  The one who came to Zui's side was Yideng Dashi, whose sharp eyes could be described in Zui's words as two beams of light in the dark, and as soon as he felt a gleam beside him, it was Yideng Dashi who had arrived.

  "Junior brother, quickly take the puppet away, the spiritual energy here is unstable and urgently needs to be stabilized."

  Master Yideng strode forward with an air of dignity, his movements unhurried. With a sweep of his large sleeve, a small sun rose slowly in the cave, illuminating the winding tunnel.

  A scorching heat rushed towards him, and the water vapor in the cave quickly evaporated. Suddenly, he felt that the density of spiritual energy around him had increased several times over. Although the heat was unbearable, he didn't want to leave immediately.

  The underground cave quickly became refreshing, and Da Deng also showed a satisfied smile. He turned his head to see Zui who was in a daze, and his heart blossomed with joy.

  That big glutton was handed over to Yizui for nurturing, he took good care of Yizui, although there were still some difficulties now, but with the progress of his cultivation, it would not be a problem to support the puppet.

  Made a huge contribution to the financial cause of Mount Hualien, especially taking advantage of this opportunity to force-feed a hot potato to Yizui, really made a big profit.

  "Big Brother Yideng, what's this?"

  He woke up from intoxication, pointing at the small sun that illuminated the vast space and asked Yideng. He felt a very strong energy in this little sun, which shouldn't be simple.

  "This is the Town Boundary Treasure that Shixiong obtained in the past, the essence of Yiyang!"

  Yi Dang Da Shi proudly introduced himself to Zui, not forgetting to boast a few sentences, trying to establish a tall image.

  Drunk in his heart, he was shocked again. He didn't expect that this was actually the treasure of Yijie's town, the essence of Yiyang. Yi Nu had actually offered such a precious thing to Yideng. No wonder Yideng would go all out to protect Yi Nu's safety. But how could such a treasure be used here? Could it be...

  "Big brother! Where is this?!"

  An idea floated in his drunken mind, and he hastily thought of asking Master Yideng for an answer.

  "This is certainly the spiritual vein of our Huashan Mountain, otherwise how would the puppet master be in this place."

  The Cardinal Puppet is the treasure of our Huashan Sect, and in its heyday, it was an existence that could rival a True Immortal.

  "Who would have thought that you'd get such a good deal, little brother? Look, your big brother even brought out the I Yang essence, a treasure of our sect, and you got all the benefits. You should at least show some gratitude?"

  One lamp smiled and replied to Yizui, while also giving Yizui a hard-sell roasted sweet potato, burying the foreshadowing. In just a few words, he also revealed LuLu's strength, drawing a big pie for Yizui.

  "How is that possible! Lulu's strength at most is only at the Yuan Infant stage, it's not even enough for a True Immortal to slap her with one palm!"

  A drunken mind gives rise to vigilance, a bad intuition rises in his heart. If he really recognized that Lu Lu could rival the true immortal, then he would have taken Lu Lu away and owed him a huge debt. This is absolutely unacceptable.

  "Junior brother, you know that it's not easy to find the spiritual veins of the Great Ming Realm."

  We're lucky to have found a spiritual vein in Mount Hualian, but this vein has a heavy yin energy, so it needs a strong yang energy to suppress it.

  The Cardinal Puppet has been locked up here for so many years and can still maintain this bit of strength is already very difficult.

  I also waited until today when the yin energy was at its weakest to dare bring out the essence of Yang, and as long as we wait for the Cardinal puppet to get outside, this strength will be brushing up, it's absolutely a super fighter.

  "With a Cardinal puppet following you, your senior brothers can finally feel at ease about your safety."

  Yideng Dashi's words were sincere and heartfelt, even pulling up a drunken hand, and the power of the drunkard's puppeteer was dissipated in an instant, that one sentence of strength brushed up and up, suddenly bringing a bright future before the drunkard's eyes.

  But there is one sentence that hasn't been told to the drunkard, and that is that the puppet master needs to consume a large amount of crystal power for his strength to rapidly increase.

  As for how much this amount is, even Lian Yidian himself didn't dare to think about it.

  The old monks thought that one drunk was still young and had energy, so they entrusted the great cause of filling the sea with magic to one drunk.

  After a moment of intoxication, I feel that I've still made a profit. Lulu's strength is already quite impressive and can continue to rise rapidly after going out.

  Later on, when he can rival a true immortal, he'll be awesome. No need to mention walking sideways, swaggering will do just fine.

  Moreover, there was a giant corpse as a gift, and Master Yideng didn't even recognize it. Firstly, Hululu's body was too small, and secondly, this powerful creature that only existed in the Dark Ages wasn't something everyone would know about. Later on, I'll have to think of a way to cultivate Hululu.

  "Uh..."

  Yi Zui was just about to complain again that Yi Deng had arrived so late, causing him to take a detour through the Ghost Gate, but Master Yi Deng seemed to know what Yi Zui was thinking and quickly interrupted his interrogation.

  "Isn't Elder Brother always keeping watch outside?"

  This is a good exercise for my junior brother.

  Besides, everyone believes that you can do it, junior brother.

  You're a powerful fighter now, Junior Brother. If you don't contribute something to our sect, it's not right either.

  Nine days later, that martial arts conference actually sent a notice to our Mount Huashan, but we old bones are still usable and don't dare to go up.

  However, you also know that the disciples inside the gate are either too old or not skilled enough. The one most suitable for battle in our Huashan Sect is probably your junior brother, don't you think?

  Yideng said a few words and finally turned the topic to the martial arts conference that had been giving him a headache, this time the martial arts conference was just a test for Huashan.

  Just as he said, the words of these old monks are indeed very powerful, but they can't bear to bully their juniors, so it's better to get drunk and forget.

  One drunk thought that if one lamp proposed something difficult, he would rather die than do it, but since it's a martial arts tournament, it might be worth considering.

  At that time, as long as RuRu is released, it will be a sweep of the entire field. As long as it's a puppet that can listen to and obey the commands of the participants, it can go into battle.

  However, apart from Lulu, I haven't heard of any puppet having its own wisdom in the Great Ming Boundary. Even Murong Xue, who has seen and experienced a lot, was shocked when she heard that Lulu was a key puppet. If he were to participate in the competition, he could directly buy his way to victory and make a profit.

  "Alright then."

  He agreed with a reluctant look on his face, afraid that if he agreed too readily, Master Yideng would give him even more tasks.
