With a thought from Wang Daoyuan, the gray roc patrolling the various territories of the Wang Family quickly came to Mount Serene.
He knew the puppet and the gray roc inside out, so there was nothing he needed to tell them.
He flew more than a thousand miles north of Mount Serene and released the puppet to fight the gray roc.
Inside the puppet, there was a magic weapon that could lock onto the opponent.
It could automatically track the opponent, so there was no need for Wang Daoyuan to control it with his spiritual sense.
This type of puppet also had a huge flaw, which was that it could not distinguish between friend and foe.
He needed to slowly remember whether it was friend or foe.
After all, the soul of the rank five puppet was refined from the soul of a rank four demon beast, so it had a good foundation.
It could learn more things and could slowly learn to distinguish between friend and foe.
The puppet and the gray roc began to fight, and the gray roc took the lead by relying on its speed.
At this time, inside the puppet's head, there was a small compass with a diameter of three inches, flickering with silver light.
These lights formed a three-dimensional topographic map, and everything within a thousand miles was in this map.
Of course, in order to conserve spiritual power, some places were blurred.
After discovering the target, the objects around the target would become extremely clear.
Living objects would show a red dot.
The stronger the object, the more dazzling the red dot.
The gray roc attacked, and the red dot on the topographic map representing the gray roc flickered violently, rapidly approaching the center.
This magic weapon was also derived from the compass. Although it was only a small piece, it was a genuine rank five low-grade magic weapon, and was extremely difficult to refine.
This compass could be used to search for the enemy's tracks if taken out alone.
However, Yuanying cultivators had no use for this thing, and Golden Core cultivators did not need such a high-grade tool.
Just as the gray roc flew in front of the puppet, the puppet suddenly turned into a silver light and dodged the attack.
This escape technique was called the Silver Light Escape, and was also a type of sword escape technique.
When Wang Daoyuan helped the Taiyi Sword Sect to upgrade the Taiyi Divine Sword to rank five, they sent him many sword cultivation spells.
He also cultivated a few, and this Silver Light Escape was one of them.
The gray roc's attack missed, and it flapped its wings fiercely.
Dozens of feathers formed by wind spiritual power attacked the silver light.
After the silver light escaped more than ten miles, it turned back into a puppet.
He swung his sword horizontally, and countless silver lights flew out, condensing into a large silver bell.
This spell was the Demon Resisting Sword Bell, a spell from the Guiyuan Sword Codex.
Now that it was used together with the Guiyuan Sword Intent, its power was quite impressive.
One by one, the feathers were deflected by the bell, and the puppet easily withstood the attack.
The gray roc attacked again. The large bells around the puppet turned back into Sword Qi and formed the Demon Slaying Sword.
He brandished his sword with both hands and slashed at the gray roc.
The gray roc relied on his cultivation advantage and did not have the slightest intention of dodging.
Its two wings flapped fiercely, setting off several whirlwinds.
The Demon Slayer Sword slashed down, dispersing all of the whirlwinds. The shadow of the giant sword also disappeared.
Naturally, the gray roc wouldn't just sit there and wait. Before the puppet could break the whirlwind, it had already attacked the puppet.
With an ear-piercing sound of wind breaking, the gray roc suddenly appeared in front of the puppet and pressed it under its claws.
The fifth level lower grade sword cultivator puppet had just been refined, so it was reasonable for it to be defeated by the gray roc, a semi-divine beast with a higher cultivation.
It could use the Silver Light Escape to avoid the gray roc's surprise attack, and then use the Demon Resisting Sword Bell to resist the gray roc's feathers.
This performance had reached the level of a fifth level lower grade puppet. Wang Daoyuan engraved the two words "Xuan Bing" on its back.
Wang Daoyuan didn't need to control this puppet, so he simply let the gray roc slowly train it.
Wang Daoyuan returned to his cave residence and continued to refine the next fifth level lower grade puppet.
There were still a few demon beast souls sent by Zhou Luan, and he had the experience of several failures and one success.
The second puppet didn't have many twists and turns. It took him half a year to completely refine it.
Wang Daoyuan also released this puppet and let the gray roc slowly train it.
Now, there was no need to rush to refine the third fifth level puppet. Refining two fifth level lower grade puppets was enough.
It wouldn't be too late to refine puppets after his refining and formation skills were upgraded to the fifth level middle grade.
After all, Beiyuan Xiuxian didn't have any fifth level refining materials for the time being.
The fifth level refining materials used now were all accumulated before.
He needed to use these two puppets to explore the Mirage Fog Sea.
Two was enough. Any more wouldn't be of much use.
After these two puppets were refined, Wang Daoyuan left South Serene Mountain and came to Guiyan City Square.
Now, this place could no longer be called a city square. It should be called Guiyan City.
Ever since the half-demons submitted, they began to build city walls here.
Once the demon beasts attacked in large numbers, they could use Guiyan City to temporarily hold back the demon beasts.
This was to prevent these beasts from directly running to the south mountain and harming the core territory of the Wang family.
The current Guiyan City was the county city of Guiyan County.
The entire city wasn't big, only 30 square miles.
The original Guiyan City Square was mostly in the city.
The structure of the buildings didn't change much, but the management was stricter.
Wang Daoyuan came to the Shanbei branch. The current hall master was Wang Daojian.
However, the grade of the spirit veins in Guiyan City was too low. Even with the recovery of Spirit Qi, the spirit veins here had only been upgraded to middle-grade level three.
As the stepping stone for the Wang family to enter the upper echelons of Blood Shadow, Wang Daojian needed to increase his cultivation as soon as possible. Naturally, he wouldn't stay here forever.
The ones in charge here were Wang Daoyuan's clone, Fang Hu, and a Wang family Zifu Realm cultivator from the Five Elements Mystic Realm.
This cultivator was called Wang Dechong. He was the great-grandson of Wang Shoufeng.
His talent could only be considered above average, but he had some expertise in intelligence.
The family focused on nurturing him. After his cultivation reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, they let him join the Blood Shadow Mountain North branch.
Wang Daoyuan came to Zhou Luan's cave abode and waited for Fang Hu and Yao Long to come over.
Both of them were early-stage Golden Core cultivators. They didn't have anything to show for the four alchemy, artifacts, and talisman arrays.
In the past, they wanted to guard the Shanbei and Qingli branches. Now, Blood Shadow's headquarters had tacitly agreed that these two branches belonged to the Wang family.
With the Wang family's current strength, no one dared to touch these two branches.
There was no reason to keep them.
After greeting Wang Dechong, he put away these two clones and took out his sub-souls.
He couldn't let go of their physical bodies either. Without their sub-souls, they would become muddle-headed.
It would be a pity to kill these two free laborers.
It would be good to nurture them and let them do some simple work in the space of the Spirit Pearl.
After dealing with the two useless clones, he returned to Mount Serene.
Gray Peng was still training the two clones. Wang Daoyuan was also cultivating in the cave abode.
Half a year later, Gray Peng was almost done training the two puppets.
The combat power of the two puppets was stronger than ordinary mid-stage Fifth Stage cultivators.
Even if they encountered a low-stage Fifth Stage Divine Beast, they would have the upper hand.
He fused his sub-souls into the sword puppets Xuanbing and Xuanding to refine them into clones.
He had already made all the necessary preparations. He left Gray Peng's clone to look after Mount Serene.
Yun Yi and Wang Minglong couldn't help, so he simply didn't bring them along.
Wang Daoyuan walked out of the cave abode and told Wang Minglong and Yun Yi, "I'll be out for a few days. You two be obedient and don't cause trouble for me."
They nodded obediently, indicating that they would definitely not cause trouble.
Wang Daoyuan once again entered the cave and headed for the Zijin River valley.
A few days later, he appeared at the mouth of the Zijin River.
He took Xuanbing and Xuanding out of the space of the Spirit Pearl and let them explore the Mirage Fog Sea.
The two sword puppets sat on the low-stage Fifth Stage flying boat and flew towards the east. Soon, they merged into the vast fog.
He activated his panoramic perception to see what was in this Mirage Fog Sea.
In this fog, the detection method of the puppets was more reliable than a person's Divine Sense.
Wang Daoyuan used the Heaven Peering Secret Technique and could only detect about a hundred miles.
The compass of the sword puppets could detect six to seven hundred miles away.
After more than ten thousand miles, there was a vast fog everywhere. There was also endless seawater below.
They didn't encounter any islands or demonic beasts.
