Zhang Yu sighed, "If Senior Sister Xu came with us, with her formation to help us, we might not lose."
Huo Chunyan and Zhao Xingsan shared the same feeling. The strength of those casual cultivators just now was about the same as theirs.
However, they had been in Fengku Mountain for several days and their condition had declined. In addition, they were not careful and fell into an ambush, which led to their loss of the battle.
If Xu Chunniang were there, how could the precious three-colored deer fall into the hands of others
Zhuge Yun glanced at the few people with a slightly gloomy look, and a hint of coldness emanated from his whole body.
"If she's not here, you won't be able to practice? Instead of relying on others, you should think of ways to improve your strength."
The four of them returned to Xiangyun Inn in silence. As their trip to Fengku Mountain took a long time, and they all had some injuries, some minor and some serious, Zhuge Yun gave them five days to rest.
As for the monsters to be hunted, they were still left to Zhuge Yun, who had the highest level of cultivation.
After the spirit stones are sold, they will be distributed according to the amount of effort put in.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Zhuge Yun's figure disappear.
Zhang Yu patted his chest with lingering fear.
"Brother Zhuge's expression just now was so scary. The overwhelming pressure from his spiritual consciousness was simply terrifying. I even felt like he would attack at any time."
Zhao Xingsan pondered for a moment and actually replied to him seriously.
"Not really. After all, he is officially our team leader. If it weren't for him protecting us along the way, we would have died in the Wind Crying Mountain long ago."
Huo Chunyan ignored the two of them, but took out a sound transmission talisman anxiously to confirm whether there was any divine thought coming out of it.
When she was far away at Fengkui Mountain, she thought that the distance was too far and the sound transmission talisman had no effect.
But after returning to Hunyuan City, she sent messages to Xu Chunniang several times, but still received no response.
Then there is only one possibility left, that Xu Chunniang has not received her message yet.
Huo Chunyan sent another divine thought into the sound transmission note, informing it of the time to set out for Fengku Mountain again. Then she put away the sound transmission note and walked towards her room.
Regardless, she had to take care of her injuries.
After Huo Chunyan returned to her room, in another yellow room not far from her room, Xu Chunniang had her eyes closed, seemingly meditating.
But in fact, with just a quick scan with spiritual sense, one can see that only a body is left there.
As for her soul, it is still in the inheritance space in the jade slip.
In the dark inheritance space, there is no daylight and time has almost stopped.
Xu Chunniang didn't know how long she had been in this space, and she was surrounded by a pile of puppet parts and metal pieces covered with dark silver runes.
Long time ago, after putting together the puppet beast of the first level of Qi training, she tried again to leave this space.
But she tried various methods and couldn't get out of it.
Perhaps, only by completely inheriting the heritage can one leave here.
After realizing this, Xu Chunniang stopped wasting time and focused all her attention on memorizing runes, disassembling the central mechanism, researching the materials for refining puppets, and assembling puppets.
As time went by, she memorized more and more dark silver runes, became more and more proficient in disassembling and assembling puppets, and also gained a lot of knowledge about the materials used in refining puppets.
But the progress has not improved much.
Because as time goes on, the puppet refining process becomes more and more sophisticated, the runes become gradually more complex, and the materials are extremely difficult to distinguish.
In addition, the inheritance jade slip she obtained was incomplete. Those Qi training puppets were fine and were relatively simple overall.
However, the difficulty of these puppets in the foundation-building stage has directly increased by several levels.
She fumbled around bit by bit, and it took her a long time before she finally understood the first-level foundation-building puppet in front of her.
After a short rest, Xu Chunniang began to assemble the puppet. The original instructions on the central mechanism had already been erased and replaced with her soul imprint.
She smiled slightly and sent a divine thought towards the puppet with red light in his eyes. Then, the puppet, who had been motionless, drew out the long sword from his waist and slashed forward fiercely.
Just after the puppet completed its mission, a black ripple fell on its body.
Xu Chunniang has long been accustomed to all this.
After she has completely mastered the puppets in this inheritance space, the current puppet will disappear and be replaced by a new puppet with higher cultivation.
However, this time, after the black ripples disintegrated the foundation-building puppet into nothingness, the trend did not decrease but increased, creating a strong wind in this inheritance space.
Wherever the strong wind passed, the space collapsed bit by bit, and white light with these words penetrated in from the collapsed areas.
Xu Chunniang seemed to understand something, and with a thought, she went towards the white light.
The next second, her soul separated from the inheritance space and returned to her body.
At the same time, Xu Chunniang, who was sitting in meditation in the room, opened her eyes.
She looked down slightly and landed on the inheritance jade slip in her right hand, and saw that the ancient and broken jade slip was completely broken into several pieces and had lost all its luster.
Xu Chunniang felt relieved. Fortunately, this jade slip of inheritance had a special meaning. If it was just an ordinary jade slip, she might not be able to master the puppet technique so smoothly.
Although the puppetry she learned could only produce puppets at the foundation-building stage at most, it was more than enough to repair the puppets in her storage ring.
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly. Just as she was about to take out the puppet to try it out, she suddenly thought of something and her expression suddenly changed. "Oh no!"
She entered the inheritance space and didn't know how much time had passed. She was afraid that she had missed the agreed time to go to Fengku Mountain.
After she belatedly remembered this incident, she discovered that several of the sound transmission notes on her body were vibrating continuously.
Her face shuddered, and she took Huo Chunyan's sound transmission talisman and released the divine thoughts in it.
After hearing the last sentence, Xu Chunniang let out a sigh of relief and regained her composure.
It turned out that ten days had passed since she entered the inheritance space.
And four days later, it was time to enter Fengku Mountain again.
After she transmitted her divine thoughts towards several sound transmission notes, she put them away and took out three puppets in the early stages of foundation building.
These three puppets were naturally brought out by her from the underground tomb under the yellow sand desert.
There were originally four bodies in total, but the one that was best preserved was given to her master as a gift.
Xu Chunniang glanced at the three slightly damaged puppets and had a general idea of how to repair them.
Although their central organs were destroyed, the damage was not complete and they could be used after some repairs.
She picked up the most damaged puppet, and with her nimble fingers, she quickly dismantled the metal parts on the ground.
