CHAPTER 489 THE WAR
Soul Stone
Heavenly Secret Institution.
Old man Jin pulled Ning Qi to the place where the Dragon Slaying Bullet was first tested and said impatiently, "Quick, take out the puppet and let me have a look!"
Ning Qi nodded helplessly and released the bronze puppet.
As soon as the bronze puppet appeared, its huge body immediately attracted the attention of many people. They all flew over to where it was.
Seeing that Old Man Jin was also here, these people, both young and old, all bowed to Old Man Jin.
"Court Master Jin, what race is this guy?"
"It's so huge, could it be a Titan Descendant?"
"Hmm, no, no, I don't think it's a Titan Descendant, but a … puppet!"
"What? Puppet? How is that possible? "
Ning Qi watched as this group of people flew around the bronze puppet like flies. From time to time, they would reach out and touch it, and then they would whisper to each other in surprise. Suddenly, Ning Qi felt a strong scientific aura. If they were to wear white coats, they would look even more like mad scientists.
"All of you, stop."
Old man Jin shouted.
The group of refiners from the Heavenly Secret Institution was shocked and quickly flew in front of Old man Jin, lowering their heads and standing obediently.
Among them, there was an old man who looked twice as old as Old man Jin, but Ning Qi guessed that he was definitely younger than Old man Jin.
Old man Jin might look like he was in his seventies or eighties, but his real age was so old that even Old Ning would have to address him as Old Ancestor.
"Let me tell you, this is a puppet."
Old man Jin said calmly.
"See, I was right, it's a puppet!"
"How can there be such a realistic puppet! Could it be an ancient puppet? "
"I think so, Court Master Jin must have found it in some ancient ruins."
The group of refiners began to whisper to each other again.
"Quiet."
Old man Jin rolled his eyes.
"Are all of you very free?"
Old man Jin asked calmly.
"Uh …"
"If you're not free, why don't you go do something?"
Old man Jin raised his eyebrows.
The group of refiners quickly turned around and left, some of them even looked back reluctantly.
After they left, Old man Jin smiled and began to study the bronze puppet.
"Tsk tsk, this skin."
"Tsk tsk, this skeleton."
"Tsk tsk, these facial features."
"Great, it's so lifelike. How did these ancient puppeteers refine such realistic puppets? I've never seen or heard of these materials before! "
Old Man Jin exclaimed in admiration as he studied it.
He looked at it from head to toe. In the end, he still wanted to enter the bronze puppet. However, the bronze puppet's mouth was closed. Without Ning Qi's command, it would not open.
"Kid, make it open its mouth. I want to see how this puppet is made."
Old man Jin said.
"If this old man finds out that it's using a low-grade spirit god stone as its power source, he'll probably steal one of them! But … "Ning Qi looked at his own small arms and legs. It was obvious that he was no match for him. He could only fly to Old Man Jin's side. He had the bronze puppet open its mouth and flew in with him.
While Old Man Jin was studying the internal parts of the bronze puppet, from his throat to his stomach, he let out a series of praises. Finally, he saw the Master Recognition Stone.
"So the ancient puppets use this Master Recognition Stone. No wonder they can be controlled at will!"
Old Man Jin's eyes were filled with joy.
"Senior Jin, you recognize it?"
Ning Qi knew the name and refining method of the Master Recognition Stone after learning the Ultimate Puppetry Skill. He did not expect Old Man Jin to know it too.
"Of course. This stone is called a soul stone. It's extremely rare. Not many of them can be found in Dongxuan. Even if a soul stone appears, it will be taken away by the Nine Great Clans. Those who can't break through to Dou Sheng and are about to die of old age will place their souls in the soul stone and wait for the day of rebirth."
Old Man Jin explained to Ning Qi.
Ning Qi already knew about it. He nodded, pretending to be enlightened.
He could not let the old man know that he studied puppetry. Otherwise, given Old Man Jin's character, he would probably force him to stay in the Divine Mystery Institute.
"Other than the Master Recognition Stone, there's also this …"
Old Man Jin's eyes swept across and saw the low-grade spirit god stone. He was about to say something when he realized that he did not recognize a spirit god stone.
"What stone is this?"
Old Man Jin frowned and muttered to himself.
"Senior Jin, we've seen it. Let's go out first."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Oh."
Old Man Jin nodded and reached out to grab the spirit god stone.
"Senior, please have mercy!"
Ning Qi hurriedly reached out to stop him. "I'm willing to let you dissect this puppet after you've studied it thoroughly. However, I still need it to fight enemies. If anything goes wrong …"
"Petty!"
Old Man Jin rolled his eyes at Ning Qi. He blew his beard, waved his sleeve and flew out.
"Right, I've refined a Supreme Dragon Slaying Bullet. Take it."
Old Man Jin casually tossed the silver Supreme Dragon Slaying Bullet to Ning Qi. Ning Qi was shocked. He carefully caught it and put it into his space bag without checking it.
"If this old man blows it up, I'll probably be dead this time!"
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Ning Qi's forehead.
"When I find the soul stone, remember to bring this puppet over."
Old Man Jin said.
After saying that, he told Ning Qi to come back next month for the second Supreme Dragon Slaying Bullet and left in a hurry.
Ning Qi suspected that he definitely knew where to find the soul stone.
…
The Wu Imperial Manor.
After inspecting Wu Lingfeng's injuries, Lord Wu let out a heavy sigh with an incomparably gloomy expression.
Wu Lingfeng's younger brother and sister stood nearby and looked at Lord Wu and Wu Lingfeng in fear.
"Father, is my dantian unable to recover?"
Wu Lingfeng touched the wound on his stomach and said in despair.
His wound had mostly recovered with the help of the healing pill. However, his dantian was already in a shattered state.
"It's not impossible to recover."
Lord Wu said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Wu Lingfeng's younger brother's expression changed slightly. He was afraid that someone would notice his strange expression and immediately lowered his head.
"Father! Is there really a way? "
Wu Lingfeng's face was filled with hope again.
"The three dragon clans should have a way to recover your elixir!"
Lord Wu said in a deep voice.
"The three dragon clans?"
Hearing this, the hope on Wu Lingfeng's face gradually faded.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to recover your dantian!"
Lord Wu said coldly.
At this moment. "Lingfeng!" A noblewoman suddenly barged in. After seeing Wu Lingfeng's miserable appearance, the middle-aged beauty's face immediately turned extremely gloomy.
She looked at Lord Wu and said, "Lord, was it Dongfang Haojie who injured Lingfeng like this?"
"Yes."
Lord Wu nodded.
"Mother."
Wu Lingfeng smiled bitterly and looked at the middle-aged beauty.
