After seeing Yu Guangyan off, Chen Lin returned to the inner courtyard to check on Fat Tiger.
Then I found Fat Tiger kneeling on one knee in front of Xiaocao, looking like he was being trained.
This made him very curious, and he asked, "What are you two doing?"
Although Fat Tiger is a pervert, he doesn't think the other party dares to tease Xiaocao. Given Xiaocao's personality of not wanting strangers to approach her, if Fat Tiger dared to do that, she would have been shattered into pieces by now.
"My Lord, I am swearing my allegiance to you. From now on, I will be your bodyguard!"
Fat Tiger stood up from the ground and explained to Chen Lin.
Although the other party's tone was still mechanical, Chen Lin felt that he was not perfunctory. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. How come the two of them swore allegiance after such a short contact
He looked at the grass, asking for an answer.
"unnecessary!"
Xiaocao glanced at Fat Tiger and spoke expressionlessly.
Chen Lin touched his chin and felt it was very interesting.
It seems that as creatures from the demon world, there is a level suppression. Xiaocao's level must be very high, so Fat Tiger felt like surrendering when he saw the other party.
Of course, it is more likely that Fat Tiger can sense the unique connection between Xiaocao and him, so he calls Xiaocao "Little Master".
This is not bad. Xiaocao will be in charge of it from now on so that he won’t always be thinking about the beautiful puppet.
However, the reward promised to the other party still had to be fulfilled. In the following time, Chen Lin collected materials in the market, and found a master of refining who specialized in shaping to create a "voluptuous" body of a beautiful puppet, and then used the spiritual seal to refine it into a puppet of the perfect level in the late foundation building stage.
Limited by his technical level, the highest he can currently refine a puppet to is the perfect foundation-building level. A puppet of the Golden Core stage is still unattainable. The reason is that the puppet inheritance is relatively small, and he has not obtained the part above the foundation-building stage, but he has not been able to break through the key despite his own research.
Of course, the most important thing is that since he got the method of refining shadow puppets, he has not studied the refining of ordinary puppets. Compared with shadow puppets, ordinary puppets are far worse.
But this time, the action of killing the frog made him see the usefulness of the puppet again.
If a batch of Jindan puppets could be refined and formed into a formation, and then the Thunderbolt 4 could be improved and increased to the power of Thunderbolt 5, and if they collectively self-destructed, it could also have an unexpected effect in special circumstances.
"How about this beauty, are you satisfied?"
After the puppet was refined, Chen Lin called Fat Tiger over and showed it to it.
Fat Tiger's eyes shone brightly as he examined the beautiful puppet, seeming very satisfied.
"Thank you Master, does she have a name?"
Chen Lin's expression changed, and he said, "Yes, her name is Mei Niang. Look how charming she is. I spent a lot of money to ask a professional master to carefully make her for you. Although she has no independent intelligence, she is very smart. You must treat her well and never let her suffer any grievances."
"Master, rest assured. Mei Niang is my first Taoist partner. I will definitely cherish her."
Fat Tiger walked forward, happily took Mei Niang's hand, and thanked Chen Lin together.
Chen Lin thought about it and decided that since it was a show, he might as well do the whole thing. Fat Tiger could no longer be simply regarded as a puppet, but a unique living being. So he simply gathered all the people in the mansion and held a simple ceremony for the two puppets, following the exact procedures, and also prepared a new house.
After a few days, peace returned to the mansion.
Chen Lin gave the task of observing Fat Tiger to Xiaocao, and he himself began to practice in seclusion.
The first thing is to re-condense the Dharma image.
Most of the power of the Golden Body comes from the Dharmakaya, which must be restored. Only when the Dharmakaya is restored can long-range energy attacks be launched. Otherwise, the Golden Body can only be used for close combat and is of little use.
After all, cultivators mostly attack from a distance when fighting, and rarely have the opportunity to get close. Even if the explosive power of the golden body is comparable to that of a god, it will be in vain if they cannot get close.
Since the Dharma image had been present before, it was not difficult to condense it again. It did not take long for the Dharma image to be condensed.
However, condensing it is only the first step. If you want to make the Dharma image reach a level that matches the golden body, you still have to work hard.
Fortunately, the Golden Bodhisattva Pill is also effective in improving the solidity of the Dharmakāya, which saves a lot of time. Otherwise, it would take dozens or even hundreds of years to restore the Dharmakāya to its peak.
In the following days, Chen Lin collected the Lantern Fruit while swallowing and refining the Golden Bodhisattva Pill to increase the strength of his golden body.
At the same time, ask all major businesses to keep an eye out for magical spells that can be performed through the power of Dharma, as well as related treasures.
The only magical power he possesses now is the Vajra Seal, which is not very powerful. As for the treasures that can be controlled by the Dharmakāya, he does not have any.
This greatly limits his strength.
In addition, he has never found a suitable soul spell, which resulted in his second soul being unable to exert its power. He can only use it to activate spiritual treasures. Even if he uses his second soul to activate spiritual treasures, it still requires mana support. His own mana is insufficient, and the power enhancement of the spiritual treasure is far from reaching the level of a true spiritual cultivator.
Unfortunately, the second soul is ultimately an external thing. Although it allows him to master the power of the soul in the Nascent Soul stage, there are not many soul spells suitable for practicing. Moreover, he is practicing thunder-attributed skills. With a body full of thunder-attributed magic power, it would be best if he practiced thunder-related soul spells, which are even more difficult to find.
There's no point in rushing about this kind of thing, you can only rely on chance.
The higher the level of cultivation, the rarer the inheritance becomes. All major forces regard high-level inheritance as a secret that cannot be passed on, and it is impossible to obtain it without joining them.
His only hope now is to wait until he breaks through the Spirit Transformation Realm and obtains the next stage of skills in the Mark of the Thunder God, to see if he can obtain the corresponding soul spells at the same time.
If not, that would be troublesome.
As far as he knew, there was no major force in the entire Xuanyue Continent that specialized in thunder-attributed techniques, and there were too few high-level inheritances in this area.
In a flash, several months passed.
On this day, Chen Lin was practicing in the training room, trying to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, when Manager He suddenly came to report that Yu Guangyan and an elder from the Crystal Clan were coming to visit.
He had been waiting for the other party to come so that he could trade information about the Crystal Light Realm with the other party. He even couldn't help himself and wanted to take the initiative to go to the other party.
Upon hearing this, he immediately stopped practicing and went out to greet him.
"Elder Chen is always nice!"
When Yu Guangyan saw Chen Lin, she immediately greeted him with a smile.
Then he introduced the old man beside him and said, "This is our clan's great elder, Yu Gongyuan. I would like to ask Elder Chen some questions. Is that convenient?"
Chen Lin took a look and found that this old man also had crystallized skin that emitted light, but he was much more restrained than Yu Guangyan. The aura on his body was also very obscure, giving people a feeling of being unfathomable.
He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Elder Yu. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will answer them all. Please come in."
As an alien race, the Crystal Clan is able to occupy a piece of land next to the Yingyue Palace's sphere of influence. Their strength is beyond doubt. And since the other party is the great elder, he must be extremely powerful, at the very least he must be at the peak level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he may even be able to reach the level of the Void Refinement Realm.
Such people should be given a certain amount of respect.
"Thank you very much, Elder Chen!"
The great elder bowed and followed Chen Lin into the guest hall.
After they exchanged greetings and sat down, he spoke directly, "Elder Chen, I heard from Yu Guangyan that you encountered a frog in the dry well in the village scene last time, and that frog was able to shuttle through the bottom of the well and leave. Can you describe the process to me again?"
"sure."
Knowing that this must be the other party's purpose, Chen Lin responded immediately, and then repeated what he had said to Yu Guangyan in more detail.
After listening to this, the elder frowned and was silent for a while. Suddenly, he said, "Elder Chen, why do you think that frog appeared there?"
Chen Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. The frog was quite powerful and I had to fight hard to repel it. I don't know the specific situation either."
He knew that the other party asked this because he must have discovered that he was lying.
With the opponent's strength, it is not surprising that he possesses the secret technique to detect lies, but as long as he does not admit it, the other party can't do anything to him. After all, he is the deacon elder of Tianfeng City.
Sure enough, after hearing Chen Lin's answer, the Great Elder shook his head and said, "In that case, I won't bother Elder Chen anymore. That node is about to collapse. Elder Chen must not enter it easily, lest he be trapped inside."
After giving a reminder, he said meaningfully: "If Elder Chen still wants to explore there, he can ask Yu Guangyan to help fix the node, or ask other people from our Crystal Clan."
After saying that, he took out a crystal token and handed it to Chen Lin.
"This is the pass token for our Crystal Clan's residence. If Elder Chen needs to contact our clan for anything, he can take this token directly to Lujiao Mountain. Even if the mountain is closed, someone will receive you."
Chen Lin took it in his hand, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Great Elder."
Although he didn't know the other party's specific purpose, this was already an obvious gesture of goodwill, and considering the other party's identity, it was considered giving him enough face.
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, he thought for a moment and said, "Great Elder, I recently got some information that may be of some use to your Crystal Clan."
The matter regarding the Crystal Realm and Demon Realm nodes will have to be brought to light sooner or later. It would be better to communicate here than on the other party’s territory. After all, as the great elder, the other party can make the decision.
He didn't want to ask for too much, he just needed some space spirit crystals and a space node that could allow him to go to Hongshan Continent, or other methods.
"Oh? I wonder what the message is?"
The Great Elder was slightly stunned, stopped, and looked at Chen Lin in surprise.
Yu Guangyan next to him also had a questioning look on his face.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "I wonder if the crystal worm belongs to the Crystal Clan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the great elder, and a terrifying aura emanated from him!
