With one look, Zirui was shocked. He realized that he could not see through Li Yunxiao's cultivation.
"Who are you?"
Zirui became cautious. To be able to walk around the Divine Transformation Sea at such a young age, he must have a powerful background.
Li Yunxiao cupped his fists. "I am the newly appointed honorary elder, Li Yunxiao. I'm here to ask Elder Zirui about puppetry."
"Honorary elder?!"
Zirui was shocked. He looked at Li Yunxiao again and said, "Although I'm always focused on studying and don't care about worldly affairs, the appointment of an honorary elder in the Divine Transformation Sea is a big deal. I've heard about it. Where's your token?"
Li Yunxiao said, "I've just been appointed. I don't have a token yet."
Zirui sneered. "Isn't this lie a little too low-class?"
Li Yunxiao said, "My identity isn't important. What's important is to learn puppetry."
"Learn? Haha, what a joke. What right do you have to learn from me! "
Zirui did not hide his disdain.
Li Yunxiao took out a jade scroll and handed it over. "Elder, look at this first."
Zirui scanned it with his divine sense and frowned. He took the jade scroll and held it in his hand to sense its contents.
His expression changed instantly. First, he was shocked, then shocked. Then, he began to ponder. His brows furrowed, but he did not realize it.
The two of them stood where they were without moving. Li Yunxiao watched with a smile on his face.
They stood there for four hours. Zirui slowly came back to his senses and asked, "Where did you get this jade scroll?"
Li Yunxiao smiled. "Mu Zhuang, the head of the Mu family, a hidden overseas sect, gave it to me."
"The head of the Mu family?! No wonder, no wonder! "
Zi Rui's face was filled with shock. He held the jade slip with both hands as if he had obtained a priceless treasure. "The insights recorded inside, as well as the comprehension of the puppet art, are all priceless treasures. You're actually willing to let me see them without holding anything back. You're still too young and don't understand the value of such a thing."
"Haha."
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "It's not that I don't understand the value, but if I don't take out a great treasure, why would Elder Zirui care about me?"
"Hehe."
Zi Rui smiled awkwardly. "That's true. Since I've received such benefits from you, this old man will naturally not be stingy. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask."
He looked very confident and didn't think that Li Yunxiao would be able to ask any valuable questions.
Li Yunxiao nodded and said, "I'm afraid it'll be difficult to discuss it in a short time. Elder Zirui, are you not going to invite me in?"
Zirui frowned and said, "Can't explain it in a short time? My time is limited, and it's very precious. "
Li Yunxiao cursed in his heart. You've already gained so much, yet you're still putting on an act. He took out a humanoid puppet and tossed it over. "My Lord, take a look at this first."
The puppet was very sturdy, and its face was very blurry. It looked very crude, with a "Ding" carved on its chest and a "Mao" carved on the back. It was one of the Six Ding and Six Jia.
Holding it in his hand, Zi Rui was disgusted by the rough workmanship. Just as he was about to say a few sarcastic words, his pupils suddenly shrank and a look of shock appeared on his face. He raised the Ding Mao puppet up to his eyes and carefully examined it.
"Ah! A formation puppet! This is a formation puppet, and it's the highest grade of heart refined formation puppets! "
Zi Rui suddenly cried out as if he had seen a ghost. He hit his own head a few times to prove that he wasn't dreaming and that he wasn't mistaken.
"Oh, so this thing is a formation puppet. This one understands now. Elder Zirui's time is very limited, so this one won't disturb you any longer. I'll visit another day. "
Li Yunxiao reached out and made a grabbing motion. Immediately, a shadow flashed and the Ding Mao puppet in Zi Rui's hand was taken back. He turned to leave.
"Don't go!"
Zi Rui anxiously stepped forward and directly teleported in front of the door, blocking Li Yunxiao's path. He anxiously said, "Let me take a look at that heart refined formation puppet again. How can such a divine object exist in this world? Impossible, impossible! It should have been extinct a long time ago!"
Li Yunxiao raised his eyebrows and frowned, saying, "Whether it exists or not has nothing to do with Elder Zirui, right? Moreover, Elder Zirui's time is too precious. Every bit of delay will make this one feel guilty. I'll be leaving first, no need to send me off. "
Li Yunxiao couldn't be bothered with him. His figure flashed past Zi Rui and walked out.
He knew the thoughts of these arcane masters better than anyone else. Since the Six Ding and Six Jia could attract Zi Rui, the other party would definitely pester him.
"Don't go!"
Zirui let out a loud cry, as if his most precious treasure had left him. He was in great pain, and suddenly rushed forward to hug Li Yunxiao, dragging him into the courtyard. He kept shouting, "It's not precious, it's not precious. This old man's time is trash time. How can it be precious? It doesn't matter even if I'm delayed for ten or a hundred years! "
Li Yunxiao's face was full of black lines. He didn't expect the other party to be so shameless. It felt terrible to be hugged by an old man. He hurriedly shook him off and said, "Alright, then I'll delay a little."
Zi Rui was overjoyed. He hurriedly called for the servants to boil wine and tea.
Li Yunxiao said, "Elder, what is this heart refined formation puppet you mentioned?"
Zi Rui hurriedly said, "Let me take a look again. I still can't believe such an object exists."
Li Yunxiao handed the Ding Mao puppet over.
Zi Rui hurriedly got up and received it with trembling hands. He began to carefully examine it. The intoxicated expression on his face was like he was admiring a beauty.
Li Yunxiao didn't rush him. He quietly drank his tea.
After a while, Zi Rui finally regained his senses. He hugged the Ding Mao puppet in front of his chest and said, "Could this object also be from the Mu Clan?"
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Elder, you have a good eye."
Zi Rui sighed and said, "In today's world, other than the Mu Clan, I'm afraid no one else can make such an object. Looking at how long it has been, it should be a peerless treasure even in the Mu Clan. And that jade scroll from before … "His eyes lit up and he said," Did you excavate the Mu Clan's treasury? "
Li Yunxiao almost spat out the tea in his mouth. He coughed a few times and said, "Elder, can your imagination be any bigger? I have a friendship with the Mu Clan. That jade scroll was given to me by them. As for this puppet, I obtained it by chance. It's precisely because it's so precious that I didn't dare to let the Mu Clan appraise it. "
Zi Rui hurriedly said, "You did the right thing! If this object is seen by the Mu Clan, it definitely won't be able to return. You mustn't leak the news. Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll directly kill their way to the Deity Transformation Sea to snatch it! "
Li Yunxiao was stunned and said, "Is it that exaggerated?"
"Yes, it definitely is!"
Zi Rui suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly formed several hand seals and set up a layer of barrier around them.
As if he was still worried, he ordered the servants, "Open all the mechanisms and formations. Don't let anyone near the small courtyard. Kill anyone who comes!" He paused and then ordered, "Even if the master comes, kill without mercy!"
Li Yunxiao, "…"
However, the servant was very loyal. He said solemnly, "Yes!" Then he turned around and left.
After the servant left, Zi Rui set up two more barriers and took out several formation flags to completely seal off the space. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
Li Yunxiao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Fortunately, he knew a lot about alchemists. This kind of freak was not the only one in front of him in the Deity Transformation Sea. It was almost everywhere.
Only then did Zi Rui put the Ding Mao puppet on the table. He stared at it like a needle, afraid that it would fly away.
"Among the millions of puppets, does Young Master Yunxiao know what is the strongest?"
Li Yunxiao thought for a while and said, "Puppets are also a branch of alchemy. If we talk about the strongest, it should naturally be divided by rank. For example, God Puppet?"
The Heaven Inspecting Bull was God Puppet. Li Yunxiao thought to himself, 'If this madman in front of me knows that I have another God Puppet, I wonder if he'll tear me apart.'
Zi Rui sneered and said, "This is the traditional prejudice of alchemists. However, we puppeteers have broken through the shackles of winning by rank. We've created a whole new field, and that is the Heart Refined Puppet!"
Li Yunxiao said, "What's going on with this Heart Refined Puppet?"
This Liuding Liujia was one of the three great puppeteering arts of the Mu family. It was definitely extraordinary. However, he didn't expect Zi Rui to view it with such importance.
Zi Rui said, "If we talk about profound artifacts, this Heart Refined Puppet is most similar to a combined profound artifact."
Li Yunxiao immediately understood. The Sea God set on Narcissus was a combined profound artifact. It wasn't as simple as one plus one equals two. The power of one plus one was far greater than two.
"That's just a combined profound artifact. It doesn't seem to be anything new. How is it creating a whole new field?"
Zi Rui laughed coldly and said, "I was just afraid that you didn't understand, so I made a superficial comparison. How can a combined profound artifact compare to a Heart Refined Puppet? Whether it's a puppet or a profound artifact, they both have artifact spirits. And the artifact spirit of a puppet can always be a level higher and have stronger spirituality. However, the artifact spirit of this Heart Refined Puppet isn't simple! "
Li Yunxiao frowned and said, "This thing is dull and slow. It doesn't have an artifact spirit at all."
"That's because you're shallow and don't recognize a precious treasure!"
Zi Rui reprimanded. He was clearly very unhappy with Li Yunxiao's evaluation of the Ding Mao puppet.
Li Yunxiao frowned and carefully observed the puppet again. He said with absolute certainty, "It indeed doesn't have an artifact spirit."
As a rank nine technique refiner, his attainments in the technique path were not below Zi Rui's. He said unhappily, "Although this young master doesn't dare to be arrogant, I still have this bit of common sense and discernment ability."
Zi Rui laughed coldly and said, "This is the difference between Heart Refined Puppets. Any set of Heart Refined Puppets uses a great divine ability or formation as a foundation. They are refined on this foundation, and the goal is to recreate the power of that divine ability and formation. This Ding Mao puppet should be a Heart Refined Formation Puppet. Their artifact spirit is the soul of the formation. It must be completed to develop the formation before it can be manifested. And the intelligence of the formation soul is comparable to a normal person. "
Li Yunxiao was shocked and said, "The two door god puppets in front of Milord's courtyard, could they be Heart Refined Puppets refined based on divine abilities and martial techniques?"
Zi Rui scolded, "How can those two pieces of trash compare to Heart Refined Puppets! I only transformed a simple combined attack technique into a formation and carved it on their bodies. That's why they can carry out some simple attacks. The difference is simply like the clouds and mud! "
