Chapter 145: Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet, Expanding the Power of Good and Evil

"Zou Lang."

When they returned to Beishan, there was no sign of Chen Shuang. Only Ning Jianqin, who seemed to have lost his soul, was sitting in front of the stone table, muttering Zou Ang's name over and over.

A black-haired beast was squatting not far away, staring at the woman hungrily.

Chen An shook his head helplessly and ignored her. At this time, he could only let her get over it on her own.

He stepped into the cave and checked the storage bags of the Five Poison Demons and the Ji Yin Ancestor.

Both of them are people of the magic path, and many of their treasures require the assistance of magic skills, which Chen An cannot use.

There were some fourth-level spiritual materials, which were the main materials for building a teleportation array. He put them in his pocket, saving him the effort of searching.

Other useful items are a Blood Burning Escape Technique and a method for refining the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet.

The former is a life-saving escape speed with good speed, which can be thrown into the tribe for the tribe members to exchange and practice.

As for the latter, Chen An looked at it with great interest.

After a long time.

Chen An put down the jade slip that recorded the refining process of the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet, with a look of realization on his face.

This puppet jade slip is the Blood Demon Sect's heritage. It was probably leaked accidentally and was snatched away by Ji Yin.

However, it is quite powerful, and most of the refining of Ji Yin has been completed. Now it only lacks the main soul of the middle stage of Yuanying.

This last step is simple and can be accomplished in two ways.

One is to use the secret magic technique to refine the soul, cleanse the will of the soul, and then plant the soul seed with essence and blood, so as to completely control the puppet.

The second is to use soul refining stones instead of magic powers, supplemented by other means of refining, to complete the cleansing of the soul and will.

There is nothing wrong with planting the soul seed, except for the soul refining stone, which Chen An does not have.

As Ancestor Ji Yin possesses magical powers, he naturally does not need this thing.

But Chen An, relying on his strong magic power and several kinds of spiritual fire, could barely refine it. However, the power of the spiritual fire was quite overbearing, and if one was not careful it would cause the soul to lose consciousness. It was not suitable for refining the soul and meeting the requirements of the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet.

This step can only be accomplished with the help of a fourth-order soul refining stone to stabilize the soul.

While he was hesitating, Chen Shuang came in with a bunch of items in his arms, jumping and saying, "Look, these are all what I won today!"

She placed the items in front of her on the stone table and looked at Chen An eagerly, as if she was a child waiting for praise from an adult.

"Requiem."

Chen An's eyes lit up and he reached out and took the gray stone in his hand.

The Soul-Calming Stone is a third-level spiritual stone, and its effect is much inferior to that of the Soul-Refining Stone. However, if he had a few more, he would be able to make do with them with his abilities.

"Where did you get this Requiem Stone?"

"I won it."

Chen Shuang raised his little head and said proudly.

"You go with Chen Qing and collect a few more pieces. They will be of great use to me."

Chen An was too lazy to ask about the source, and immediately ordered Chen Shuang to find a few more pieces.

"it is good."

Seeing his serious expression, Chen Shuang nodded obediently, responded, and ran outside.

Chen An took this opportunity to review the method of refining the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet again to familiarize himself with the process in advance.

But just a short while later, Chen Shuang came back with four soul-soothing stones.

"A famous Foundation Establishment Clan member had a few of them, so I traded them all for two Crystal Condensing Pills."

Chen Shuang roughly explained what happened.

"very good!"

Chen An was overjoyed and didn't care about the details. He ordered: "You go and do your work first. Don't disturb me if you have nothing to do. By the way, we are all girls, so don't forget to take care of Ning Jianqin."

What he was thinking was that Ning Jianqin was helping him collect spiritual materials, and he couldn't let what happened before affect the progress.

After hearing this, Chen Shuang's originally happy face suddenly became a little dull.

To be honest, she didn't like this woman very much. Even though she looked a bit pitiful, she felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Chen An caring about Ning Jianqin.

It was like seeing the adults in her own family suddenly taking good care of other people's children, which made her feel inexplicably lost.

Chen An was concentrating on the matter of the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet and did not notice the change in Chen Shuang's expression.

After the other party left, he took out the slightly broken puppet.

This puppet has no consciousness, but it can still barely rival a cultivator at the fourth level of the Golden Infant Realm. Even Chen An had to spend some effort to capture it.

Of course, he also had the intention of confiscating the puppet, so he did not destroy it with a single sword.

After everything was ready, a white jade pagoda flew up from Chen An's body. With a thought, the soul of the Five Poison Demon Woman floated out from it.

Chen An reached out and grabbed it in his hand.

"What are you going to do to me! Let me go!"

The Five Poison Demon Lady looked terrified. She regretted deeply at this moment that she had been bewitched by Ji Yin and came to Qingyun Domain. She had never expected that what was supposed to be a sure thing would backfire and she would become a prisoner.

It was too late for her to regret now, because the soul-soothing stone was already placed in front of Chen An, and a ball of golden flame flew out of his body.

Chen An immediately activated the Tianyang True Fire, and with the help of the stability of the Soul-Calming Stone, he used the method in the jade slip to refine the soul of the Five Poison Demon Woman into the main soul of the puppet.

There are two purposes of refining the soul. One is to erase the hatred of the devil's soul towards Chen An, as well as other negative emotions. If this part is not erased, the subsequent process of planting the soul seed will be much more difficult.

The second is that the Heavenly Demon Puppet is condensed from countless flesh and blood. Ordinary souls cannot withstand such tremendous energy and blood. Only by condensing the soul further can it freely control the body of the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

This step is similar to the Soul Refining Technique, but the method recorded in the jade slip is quite overbearing, and most of the memory will be lost afterwards. In serious cases, it may even cause great damage to the soul.

He can learn from the method of refining the spirit, and this step will not be difficult for Chen An.

The process of refining the soul was a little slow. After seven days, the witch's wailing gradually stopped, and her soul shrank by a whole circle.

If there hadn't been a formation to block the sound, the entire Kuxiu Mountain clan would have been alarmed.

After completing the refining and grasping the soul in his hand, Chen An bit his tongue, spat out a mouthful of essence and blood, and sprayed it on the soul of the demon woman. Soon, the other party's soul absorbed all the essence and blood like a sponge.

He took the opportunity to activate the secret technique and plant a soul seed within his soul.

This step was relatively simple and was completed in less than an hour. In a mysterious way, Chen An could feel that there was a vague connection between him and the soul in front of him.

This means that the recognition of the Lord is successful!

He looked slightly stunned and dragged his soul and placed it in the body of the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

"Congeal!"

Chen An let out a low shout and while burning the puppet with the sun's true fire, he continuously cast several spells which penetrated into the puppet's body. Suddenly, the entire cave was filled with bloody light, and it was showing a tendency to surpass the Eternal Soul Monument.

The mark of magic power left by the old ancestor Ji Yin in the puppet's body also slowly melted away in the process, leaving behind Chen An's mark.

After a long time.

The blood energy above the head of the Demon Puppet in front of him surged into the sky and continued to gather. Before long, it condensed into a ray of blood light.

"Whoosh!"

A light of blood suddenly shot out obliquely, breaking through the stone wall of the cave and rushing straight into the sky.

Chen An was stunned for a moment, walked forward and looked intently, he could see the bottom of the hole and even see the azure sky of Nanshan Mountain through the hole!
"Wow, this one directly penetrated the entire Kuxiu Mountain!"

Fortunately, most of the tribesmen were cleaning up the mess outside the mountain, and not many of them stayed on the mountain, so this move had little impact.

At this time, the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet quietly opened its eyes, looked around with bloodshot eyes, and saw Chen An, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Greetings, Master. I have committed insubordination before, and I hope you will forgive me."

Today, the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet is being controlled by the spirit of the Five Poison Fairy after she has been sacrificed and refined.

"It doesn't matter."

Chen An looked at the completely new Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet with joy in his heart, and immediately threw the body of the Five Poison Fairy out of the storage bag.

"Merge your original body with yours."

Although reintegrating the body will not directly enhance strength, it is the key to the continued advancement of the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet. It is related to whether it can reach the late Nascent Soul stage or even become a god in the future.

Upon hearing the order, the Heavenly Demon Puppet did not hesitate at all. When he saw his own body, his eyes lit up and he pounced on it with joy.

After the two touched each other, the Heavenly Demon Puppet transformed into a blood-colored water curtain, wrapping the body. It didn't take long for them to merge into one, revealing an exquisite curve.

Perhaps it was the influence of Chen An on her soul that caused her to not restore her previous appearance. Instead, she reshaped herself into a beautiful mature woman. However, her figure was still plump, and the wantonness in her eyebrows and eyes was restrained, replaced by charm.

She twisted her slender waist and turned around gently, her brows full of joy, and it seemed that she quite liked this new body.

In comparison, Chen An didn’t have any thoughts about the appearance. He only knew that this was a powerful puppet comparable to the sixth level of the Golden Infant, and that was enough!

After all, as a puppet, she does not have normal human functions. Apart from having a soul, her body is no different from other puppets. To put it bluntly, she is just a tool, with only a little more intelligence and memory.

"I am no longer the Five Poison Fairy. I have given myself a new name, Luo Ling'er."

Seeing that Chen An was about to call her by the name she didn't like, she interrupted him in time.

"Well, this name sounds better."

Chen An nodded, returned the storage bag to the other party, and said: "Your previous methods should still be useful."

It was filled with poisonous insects and other methods unique to the Five Poison Sect. It would be useless for him to keep them, so he might as well return them to Luo Linger to enhance her strength.

"You can continue to use the Gu worm method."

Luo Ling'er's eyes lit up with joy and she took it.

She is now a puppet and cannot practice her previous skills, but some of the poisonous insect techniques do not have too many restrictions on the skills and can still be used.

The puppet's own strength is enough to sweep away most of the mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Coupled with the poisonous insect technique, it can even deal with an ordinary late-Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

From now on, this puppet, or Luo Ling'er, will be a great help to Chen An.

Walk out of the cave that I haven’t left for many days.

Ning Jianqin, who was outside, saw Chen An and hurriedly stood up, with a look of shame on her face. She bowed and said, "I was impulsive before. I hope you can forgive me, senior."

After obtaining the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet, Chen An was in a good mood and didn't care about such trivial matters.

"That's understandable, but the dead cannot be resurrected. I hope Fairy Ning will accept my condolences."

Chen An pondered for a moment, took out Zou Ang's body and returned it to the other party for safekeeping.

Seeing her late husband, Ning Jianqin shed two lines of tears:
"I, Ning Jianqin, swear to fight the Five Poison Sect to the death. From now on, I will kill every evil cultivator I see!"

Chen An's heart sank. Fortunately, he had the foresight to not let Luo Ling'er come out of the cave, otherwise the two would have fought if they met.

After comforting the other party, Ning Jianqin calmed down a little. She presented a storage bag: "This is the Dream Crystal I have collected in the past few years. I came here this time to give it to you, senior."

She collected the Dream Crystals and immediately sent them to Chen An. Unexpectedly, she witnessed the death of her Taoist partner with her own eyes.

After delivering the spiritual materials, Ning Jianqin took Zou Ang's body back to Tianyin Pavilion.

At this time, Chen Shuang quietly walked out of the spiritual field.

She raised her head and saw Luo Ling'er walking out of the cave almost at the same time. Her pretty face turned pale: "Elder, be careful of the Five Poisonous Demon Women's sneak attack!"

"You outspoken little girl, my name is Luo Ling'er, not some Five Poisons Demon!" Luo Ling'er hated being called a demon the most during her lifetime. For a moment, her brows were furrowed, looking a little displeased.

"okay!"

Chen An hurriedly stopped Chen Shuang who didn't know the truth and explained: "I have already subdued her. She is no longer one of the Five Poisons. From now on, you two will be together in Beishan, so you should get along well with each other."

"puppet?"

Chen Shuang blinked in confusion, and unconsciously looked down at the straight lines, then looked at Luo Linger's enchanting and plump figure. While feeling envious, a trace of loneliness surged in his heart.

The problem was solved and the harvest was great.

Chen An stayed in the cave, either practicing or studying the jade slip of the teleportation array left by the Crocodile Ancestor.

And based on the inheritance of the fourth-order formation, I studied the teleportation formation, and now I understand a lot of the unclear parts before.

Now that the materials have been almost collected, as long as we harvest a few more Yu Linglong and deepen the foundation of the formation, building a long-distance teleportation formation will naturally not be a problem.

But the only problem is not on the technical level, but in Dongzhou. It is true that there are many righteous sects there, but who is willing to build a teleportation array in their own sect to connect to other forces?
If the other party has bad intentions, then they will be wiped out.

Unless it is between the upper Yuanying sect and the lower Jindan sect, or between the lower Jindan sects, it is rare for the Yuanying sects to directly communicate with each other through teleportation arrays.

Chen An also knew something about the distribution of power in Dongzhou.

He felt that the righteous sects would most likely not allow him to go directly to the teleportation array, and there was not much significance in communicating with the Jindan sects. The human world might not agree either. After all, he was still in the Six Realms of the Far East, and he still remembered the bad things that happened to Patriarch Lihuo.

After much thought, I feel that it would be most practical to exchange what we have with the major independent cultivation forces between the righteous and evil sects.

Those major forces were mostly formed by independent cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. There were many independent cultivators in the area, and there were even some demonic cultivators among them. It could be said that there were good and bad people there.

Chen An thought for a moment, then called Chen Weiyang and asked him to go to Dongzhou again to discuss the matter with those independent cultivators.

"I'll go alone?" Chen Weiyang asked in embarrassment.

Unlike the last time when he collected spiritual objects, this time he had to come into direct contact with the Nascent Souls of several major forces. The pressure was quite great. After all, the other party was not as calm as Chen An.

"You're worrying too much. I'm not asking you to fight to the death. I'm just discussing the teleportation array. How can the other party kill you?"

Chen An reached for the storage bag at his waist, and three balls of exquisite spirit emerged in his eyes, entwined with each other, looking quite spiritual.

"When you visit the three great independent cultivators, use this as a gift. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the other party will most likely not make things difficult for you."

Chen An took the three balls of exquisite energy and pushed them in front of Chen Weiyang.

"It's probably not easy to talk about, but I'll try my best."

Chen Weiyang put away his exquisite energy, asked about some details, then turned around and left the cave to prepare for this long-distance journey.

A moment later, a graceful figure walked out of a quiet room in the cave, walked to the cave hall, and knelt beside Chen An.

She pursed her red lips, looked at Chen An with watery eyes, and said, "Master, you want to expand the family's influence, right?"

After spending a few days together, Luo Ling'er could more or less guess what Chen An was thinking.

"Yes."

Chen An sighed: "The potential of the six regions in the Far East is limited, and we must expand outward."

With his current strength and background, even if he just holds on to his own little piece of land in Qingyun Domain, he has the possibility of advancing to the state of God.

But after becoming a god, if one wants to obtain the fifth-level spirit seed, one must go to the mysterious continent with a higher upper limit as mentioned by the Crocodile Ancestor.

The prerequisite for all this is to be able to build an ultra-long-distance teleportation array. The spiritual materials needed for its construction are difficult to find in the barren land of the Six Regions of the Far East. If you want to accomplish this, you must exchange what you have with Dongzhou.

"Perhaps you can change your thinking. It may be easier to start from the magic path."

Luo Ling'er blinked mischievously, with a mysterious look on her face.

Chen An frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then reacted: "Five Poison Sect!"

He almost forgot that Luo Linger was a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Five Poison Sect.

"However, I am not the only one with Nascent Soul in the sect. There is also a sixth-level Nascent Soul Gu Du Demon Lord who is very powerful!"

There was a terrifying look in Luo Ling'er's eyes, and she seemed to be quite afraid of him.

"Poison Demon Lord?"

From his name, Chen An could guess that this person was extremely skilled in using poison.

"But don't worry. As long as I use my secret technique to send a message to the sect to trick him into coming here, you and I can join forces to capture him. After that, you can use the Five Poison Sect as a hub and slowly expand your influence to the entire Demonic Dao territory."

Luo Ling'er said happily, seeming very happy to be able to help Chen An.

This is also because Chen An borrowed the methods of the Soul Refining Technique in the process of refining her soul, so that her sanity could be preserved relatively intact.

"That's a good idea."

Chen An nodded and said, "I'll leave the matter of the Demonic Path to you."

Although Chen Fengshuo controlled the Yinmo Sect and the Xuanming Sect, his strength was limited after all and was far less useful than the Five Poison Sect.

In the southern part of Dongzhou, on a mountainside in the territory of the Demonic Path.

The old ancestor Ji Yin, who had been in a coma for many days, woke up slowly with half of his body intact.

His face was pale at this moment, almost as white as paper, and his breath was extremely weak, as if he would die if he couldn't catch his breath.

Ancestor Ji Yin endured the severe pain, touched his chest with his right hand, and actually tore off a piece of skin. Then he reached in and took out a blood-colored pill.

He swallowed it in one gulp, and after a while, his complexion looked a little better.

"Thank goodness that I, the ancestor, had foreseen everything and prepared a human skin storage bag in advance."

This piece of human skin is a storage bag made using a special method. It has the function of isolating spiritual consciousness, and ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators cannot detect it at all.

After he recovered some strength, he took out the useful Ten Thousand Blood Demon Puppet from his storage bag.

"It seems that it is a good idea to prepare a few more backup plans. I can use the secret method to stabilize my body, and then use this puppet as a basis. Maybe I can recover my body."

If he had not mastered several magic secret techniques to stabilize his body, and had not had the elixirs in the human skin storage bag to replenish his body, he would have died long ago with such serious injuries and the energy he used to perform the Blood Burning Escape Technique.

Looking at his empty lower body, his face was filled with fear: "I, Ji Yin, have always been very careful in my plans, but I still fail sometimes. Sigh."

After whispering a few words, he hurriedly controlled the spare blood puppet and dug a temporary cave in a secret place nearby.

After taking a quick look at the surroundings, he rushed in with the blood puppet.
