Chapter 552: New Uses of Puppets

Hearing him say this, Lin Changqing was greatly surprised.

He quickly asked, "How could this be? Why is the price of a second-level puppet so expensive?

If what you just said is true, then the price of an ordinary late-stage second-order puppet would be two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones?

Even those well-made puppets cost as much as 400,000 low-grade spirit stones.

With the price you mentioned, you can buy a magic weapon at Wanbao Pavilion!"

The stall owner looked at him as if he were a bumpkin, then said, "Right! You understand it very correctly!

But have you ever thought that even if I gave you a magic weapon, you wouldn’t be able to use it with your current level of cultivation!

But on the other hand, if you use these spirit stones to buy a puppet, you can have a loyal and reliable late-stage foundation-building combat force that does not need to eat, drink, or be taken care of!

Think about it, isn’t it a good deal? Isn’t it more practical than giving you a magic weapon that you can only look at but cannot use?
But if you only have magic weapons but no cultivation, if you ever encounter an enemy, you will just be giving away your treasure to the enemy!

So buying a Foundation Establishment Stage fighter is actually the most cost-effective! Think about it, am I right? "

After listening to the stall owner's remarks, his eyes were completely opened!

Of course, Lin Changqing didn’t think what he said made much sense.

But the stall owner's ability to deceive people was the best among all the monks he had met!

Unfortunately, for Lin Changqing, this level of deception is really nothing. Compared with those success gurus in his previous life, it is far worse!

So he decided to observe for a while, and said, "I didn't expect the second-level puppet to be so expensive, I really can't afford it!
I'd better take a look at these first-level puppets. They shouldn't be that expensive, right?"

The stall owner nodded. He knew this would happen. Even within the Puppet Sect, it was the same. There were also many fellow sect members who could not afford second-level puppets!
Many of his fellow disciples are still using first-stage late-stage puppets, so he didn't find it strange. Instead, he felt that this was the normal situation.

Then he continued, "The puppet at the first stage on my stall requires two thousand low-grade spirit stones.

The middle stage costs 5,000 spirit stones, and the late stage requires 10,000 spirit items. You can take a look. If you buy a lot, we can give you a discount! "

These things are really not cheap. Even an early stage puppet costs nearly the same as a low-grade spiritual item!
However, Lin Changqing did not need these first-level combat forces, so he ignored the puppets in the shapes of monsters.

Instead, he picked up three or four late-stage first-order humanoid puppets on the stall and began to study them.

But after looking at it for a while, he still couldn't figure out what it was, so he asked, "Daoyou, can you give me a brief introduction to this humanoid puppet?"

The stall owner may have felt that he was really going to open his business, so he was much more enthusiastic about him.

He quickly introduced: "Compared with the puppets in the shape of monsters, this kind of humanoid puppet can do some relatively delicate things.

For example, they can do tasks such as plowing, sowing, harvesting, and even helping with some miscellaneous chores.

And in terms of combat power, it is not weaker than the puppet in the shape of monsters, and may even be more flexible.

Therefore, their prices are relatively higher, each one costs about 12,000 spirit stones!"

After that, the stall owner cast a spell at a humanoid puppet. The puppet immediately turned into a real-life size and began to demonstrate a series of actions such as ploughing, sowing, and harvesting in front of the two people.

The stall owner then continued, "It's not convenient to demonstrate offensive and defensive spells here, so I won't allow it to be demonstrated!
You can buy it and try it yourself. It guarantees that the combat power is no weaker than that of an ordinary cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining!"

Lin Changqing was speechless. He didn't expect that puppets could have such a function. He always thought that puppets could only help in battle.

I didn’t expect that I could ask them to help with work. Aren’t these similar to the robots in our previous lives?
After seeing this, he was quite interested and prepared to buy one to try it out.

Of course, the combat power of this puppet is nothing to him, but he still wants to buy one to play with, after all, it is also a big toy.

Moreover, I can give this thing to my sister later. I believe she will like it.

So he said to the stall owner: "The combat power of the late first stage is of no use to me, but we have been chatting for such a long time, so we can be considered to have some friendship!
So I decided to buy one for you, but twelve thousand spirit stones is too expensive! Please give me a cheaper price!"

After hearing this, the stall owner was delighted, knowing that he was really going to open his business.

So he weighed it in his mind and said, "Since you say so, for the sake of our friendship, I'll give you a discount of one thousand spirit stones!"

Lin Changqing shook his head and said, "No! It's still too expensive.

The highest price I can accept is 10,000 spirit stones. If you agree, you must also teach me how to control a puppet."

When the stall owner heard this, he hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to the price.

Lin Changqing chose a humanoid puppet that he liked and paid ten thousand spirit stones.

The stall owner gave him another jade slip, which contained a simple method of controlling puppets.

After taking a quick look at it, he put the jade slip away, planning to study it in detail when he had time.

After saying goodbye to the stall owner, I was about to continue shopping, but unexpectedly, the area closest to the mountain gate suddenly became bustling.

Many monks began to enter the mountain gate and rushed up along the mountain road.

Lin Changqing reacted immediately and realized that this must be the new True Lord who was about to start preaching, so he rushed over without thinking twice.

This place is the puppets' mountain gate. To show respect, no one dared to fly up and everyone walked.

The whole way was decorated with lights, especially the trees on both sides of the mountain road, which were hung with red lanterns.

These lanterns are the signs, and everyone is moving forward along these signs.

Relying on his physical training advantage, Lin Changqing finally followed the first wave of cultivators and rushed all the way to a huge square.

In the center of the square, there is a huge lotus platform, around which are placed tens of thousands of cushions.

If I'm not mistaken, this place should be the sect square of the Puppet Sect, and it is also the place where the sermon will be held this time.

However, this group of people were not the first to appear here. In front of them, there were many disciples of the Puppet Sect who had already occupied the front position.
