Xu Chunniang did not relax her vigilance. After wandering around Hunyuan City seemingly casually for a while, she returned to Xiangyun Inn before the spiritual energy in the mask completely dissipated.
After returning to the room and confirming that the formation in the room was correct, she couldn't wait to take out the puppet jade slip and probe into her spiritual consciousness.
However, this jade slip seemed broken, and when she probed her spiritual consciousness into it, it encountered resistance and her spiritual consciousness was bounced out.
Xu Chunniang's expression remained unchanged, and more of her spiritual consciousness rushed into the jade slip.
However, under the huge spiritual consciousness, the resistance only lasted for a few breaths before it was completely dispersed.
After this resistance disappeared, her consciousness finally entered the jade slip without any hindrance.
At the same time, the broken jade slip suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful suction force emanated from it, sucking her soul completely.
In a trance, Xu Chunniang felt that she was in endless darkness.
It was not until she heard a subtle "rustling" sound around her that she realized that her soul had entered the inheritance space in the jade slip.
And these voices...
She frowned slightly and looked towards the source of the sound.
Then she saw a black puppet beast with red light in its eyes climbing towards her, but it suddenly became quiet and motionless when it was three feet away from her.
Xu Chunniang swept her spiritual sense towards the puppet beast and found that its cultivation level was only the lowest level of Qi training. The structure of the puppet beast was very simple.
It was so simple that even she, who had only had a superficial understanding of puppetry, could barely understand the dark silver runes hidden inside the puppet.
These dark silver runes are not even much better than the puppet balls used for teaching in the outer sect of Xiaoyao Sect.
Although he was in the inheritance space, his soul had left his body.
But Xu Chunniang's soul is actually at the foundation-building stage, not to mention her consciousness, which has the strength of the golden elixir stage.
Therefore, the puppet beast in front of her, which was only at the first level of Qi training, posed no threat to her at all.
Xu Chunniang's heart moved, and she walked towards the puppet beast, using her spiritual sense to remove the outer layer of its shiny metallic skin.
Among the puppets she obtained from the underground of the yellow sand desert, there were also many dark silver runes.
Those runes were too delicate and complex. She had tried to study and decipher them, but unfortunately, after studying for a long time, she had not produced any results.
However, the runes on the puppet beast are much easier to deal with.
It didn't take her much effort to understand.
In the heritage space, the passage of time is difficult to perceive.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Chunniang finally understood all the dark silver runes, and her spiritual consciousness fell on the central mechanism of the puppet beast.
If you want to refine a puppet, in addition to these runes, the central mechanism is even more crucial.
Xu Chunniang spent more time to understand the principles and key points of the puppet beast's central mechanism.
During this time, there was no other movement around.
Xu Chunniang put down the things in her hands and explored the surroundings with her spiritual sense.
However, she used all her spiritual sense to explore and found nothing else.
It was as if, apart from her, the only thing left in this inheritance space was this puppet beast that had been stripped down to its skeleton.
A look of helplessness flashed across her eyes. This inheritance was not what she had imagined. It was too simple.
"Is this the inheritance I spent 80,000 spirit stones on? It seems like a bit of a loss."
Xu Chunniang shook her head speechlessly and tried to leave this world, but found that her soul could not escape the shackles of this inherited world.
Could it be that there is something else in this inheritance
After wandering around for a long time, she returned to the original place again.
Looking at the bare puppet beast in front of her, with only an empty shell and the metal skin and central mechanism parts scattered on the ground, an idea flashed through Xu Chunniang's mind.
Perhaps... Only by putting this puppet beast back together can the inheritance be completed
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. She bent over, picked up the parts on the ground, and began to piece them together.
When she repaired the central mechanism, she had a slight movement in her mind and erased the original instructions, leaving a mark of her soul.
After struggling for a while and experiencing two mistakes, the puppet beast finally recovered.
Its eyes glowed red, and it stood guard, weak but determined.
Xu Chunniang had an idea and gave it an order.
Then the puppet beast, which had been motionless, suddenly began to patrol.
At the same time, a black ripple fell on the puppet beast, disintegrating it into nothingness.
Just when Xu Chunniang thought that the inheritance had ended, a rustling sound came from another direction.
She used her spiritual sense to explore and immediately discovered that a puppet beast that was slightly larger than the one just now was walking towards her...
Just as Xu Chunniang's soul was sucked into the jade slip of inheritance, three monks were sitting at a table in a corner of the lobby of Xiangyun Inn. They kept looking back in the direction of the guest rooms, as if they were waiting for someone.
If Xu Chunniang were here, she would be able to recognize at a glance that these three people are her fellow disciples.
But Huo Chunyan is not here at the moment.
After another cup of tea, Huo Chunyan appeared in the hall and walked towards the three people.
Zhuge Yun's eyes were filled with impatience. "Where's Xu Chunniang? Didn't you go and call her?"
Huo Chunyan shook her head. "Her door has been closed, and there is no news from the sound transmission note. She must be immersed in cultivation and has forgotten the time."
Zhang Yu showed a trace of worry in his eyes, "Senior Sister Xu hasn't shown up since the auction on that day. Could something have happened?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Since she returned to Xiangyun Inn safely, nothing will happen to her. How about... we wait a little longer?"
When Huo Chunyan asked this question, she was not sure.
After all, Xu Chunniang has been practicing in seclusion, and no one knows what her current condition is or how long it will take for her to come out.
"No need for that. Since she doesn't take this commission seriously, the four of us will go. I will report everything that happened during this commission to the sect in detail."
Zhuge Yun snorted coldly, stood up and walked outside.
The other three people looked at each other in confusion, but had to stand up and follow Zhuge Yun.
The four of them left Hunyuan City and headed towards Fengku Mountain.
This time they were lucky and did not encounter any dangerous monsters.
After staying in Fengku Mountain for six or seven days, they even discovered the footprints of the Yuan-devouring Beast.
However, when he was tracking further, he had a fierce battle with several other monks over an extremely rare three-colored deer.
The battle was extremely difficult. Not only did they fail to capture the three-colored deer, but all four of them were seriously injured. In the end, it was only when Zhuge Yun took out a high-level magic weapon to escape that they were able to.
Now that Zhuge Yun, who had the highest level of cultivation, had recovered from his injuries, the few of them naturally could not stay in Fengku Mountain any longer.
On the way back, the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
