Xianwu City is attacked by monsters from time to time. The monks in the city have puppet beasts to defend themselves, which gives them more confidence when facing monsters.
However, because there are too few puppet masters in Xianwu City, many damaged puppet beasts cannot be repaired in time.
Especially for high-level puppet beasts, even if they pay a high price, they still have to wait in line for several months, or even a year.
Nowadays, Ximen's shop repairs puppet beasts for monks at fair and reasonable prices, and the delivery time is faster. This is undoubtedly good news.
"Fellow Taoists, the maintenance of your puppet beasts has also been completed. Come one by one, don't worry!"
Ximen Changyu took out the repaired puppet beasts in turn and handed them to the puppet beast's owner.
"Haha! Sure enough, the repairs have been completed. It's exactly the same as when I bought it!"
"Thank you so much, Fellow Taoist Changyu. This has been a great help to me."
"The puppet beast has been repaired well. I will be more confident next time when I face a monster attack. No, if the monster attacks the city again next time, I will definitely kill one to relieve my anger!"
"That's right, I also want to kill a monster of the same level. I haven't gained any merit points in three months. It's so embarrassing."
"My merit points have been exchanged for some resources. Now, they are less than five million. I will try my luck outside the city tomorrow. It would be great if I could hunt down a sixth-level monster."
"Fellow Taoist, are you teaming up? We both have puppet beasts in the late stage of Void Refining. Even if we encounter a group of sixth-level monsters, we still have the power to protect ourselves!"
"Okay, everyone has the puppet beast with them. Tomorrow we will form a team to go out of the city to hunt the monster!"
A group of monks who got the puppet beast were very happy and agreed to go out to hunt the monster beast together.
Behind this group of monks, there was a monk in the early stage of Void Refining, with a sinister look in his eyes.
He quietly left Ximen's store without attracting anyone's attention.
"This damn shop has ruined the owner's life. We must find a way to get rid of it!"
A monk in the early stages of refining the void, named Lu Kang, was the pet of a seventh-level monster. However, because he was well hidden, he was never discovered.
At the same time, he is also an outer elder of the combined force Huayuan Sect. He has been hiding in Huayuan Sect for many years and has not been discovered.
Today's Huayuan Sect has many elders and disciples who have become his confidants, and even several senior officials were persuaded by him to join the ranks of loyal monsters.
The Huayuan Sect is a sect from the southeastern area of the Immortal Clan Continent. The sect has more than ten strong fusion warriors and no less than fifty Void Refining monks.
The disciples recruited this time accounted for 30% of the sect. The leaders were four strong fusion masters and 16 strong Void Refining masters. The number of disciples was no less than 20,000.
Since entering Xianwu City, Lu Kang has provided a lot of valuable information to his monster master, both secretly and openly.
There were many cases where human demon hunting teams were ambushed when they went out because of the information he secretly provided.
Now, these Void Refining monks in Ximen's shop have revealed their intention to go out of the city to hunt monsters, so he naturally has to report it to his master immediately.
"Elder, what are your orders?"
In an inn, a Nascent Soul disciple stood respectfully beside Lu Kang.
"You go out of the city immediately and tell the master this important news. Go back quickly and don't be discovered!"
Lu Kang handed a jade slip to the disciple of Yuanying and gave instructions.
"Don't worry, elder, I will definitely deliver the news!"
The Nascent Soul disciple nodded, picked up the jade slip and quietly left the inn.
"Ambushing a mere Void Refining team is not a big achievement. If you can deal with the shop that sells the Void Refining Puppet Beast, you will really be of great help to the master."
Lu Kang went out of the city a few days ago and met his demon beast master. From the owner's angry attitude, he understood that the human monks had a large number of high-level puppet beasts, which posed a huge threat to the demon beasts.
The puppet beast has become its own master and its biggest fear.
Nowadays, Ximen's shop in the city suddenly began to repair damaged puppet beasts on a large scale. This news is even more terrible bad news for the monster beasts.
He has already told this news to his monster master. He believes that his master will be on pins and needles when he hears this news, and even orders him to deal with the high-level puppet master in Ximen's shop.
And if he wants to take action in advance, he must at least find out what level of power the puppet master in charge of Ximen's store is and whether there is a way to get rid of him.
"Junior brother Lu Ming has slowed down the speed of repairing the virtual puppet beast, trying to weaken the strength of the monks.
But I didn’t expect that a large-scale repair of puppet beasts would be carried out in a mere shop, which completely ruined all my arrangements. I must discuss it with Junior Brother Lu Ming!”
Lu Kang left the inn and went to the Dongfu District to look for Junior Brother Lu Ming who was in retreat to repair the puppet beast.
This Lu Ming is the sixth-level puppet master of Huayuan Sect and the only sixth-level puppet master in Xianwucheng for more than a year.
However, with the emergence of Ximen Changqing, Lu Ming's importance was no longer worth mentioning. The consequence of his delay was that all business was taken away by Ximen Changqing.
"Elder Lu Kang, the master is in retreat to repair the puppet beast. Do you have anything important to do?"
A god-transformation monk asked respectfully.
He is the fifth-level puppet master of Huayuan Sect and Lu Ming's great disciple. He is also the core talent of Huayuan Sect.
"If I didn't have an urgent matter, I wouldn't go to Junior Brother Lu Ming. Please report it quickly! It won't take too long."
Lu Kang spoke without any doubt.
"This... okay! Elder, please wait a moment. Disciple will go and ask for the master right away!"
The disciple who transformed into a god immediately went to the depths of the retreat cave and sent out a transmission note.
"Hey, Senior Brother Lu Kang is here, what important things can happen? Could it be that the master has a new order?
You can’t let me stop repairing the puppet beast and just do nothing! That would be too obvious, and the Immortal Alliance might discover my identity!”
Lu Ming frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied, but he immediately left the seclusion and met Lu Kang.
"Senior Brother Lu Kang, what's the emergency with me?"
Lu Ming asked with a frown.
"Junior brother Lu Ming, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to the secret room!"
Lu Kang winked, pulled Lu Ming into a secret room, and opened the soundproofing ban at any time.
"Senior Brother Lu Kang, it seems something big has happened!"
Seeing Lu Kang being so cautious, Lu Ming always had a very bad feeling.
He joined the Huayuan Sect when he was a child. Thanks to his talent, he became the sect's puppet-making genius.
Under the sect's careful training, he was promoted to the realm of refining the void and became a sixth-level puppet master, making him the top talent in the entire Huayuan Sect.
When he was growing up, he had always been taken care of by senior brother Lu Kang. If it weren't for his help, he wouldn't have progressed so fast.
But he didn't expect that the senior brother who confided in him was actually a powerful human favorite of the demon clan, and actually deceived him into staying with the master of the demon beast when he was out.
At the beginning, he was naturally very angry and wanted to kill Senior Brother Lu Kang, but he was very afraid of death and was unwilling to die in such a miserable way.
Therefore, he had no choice but to recognize the monster as his master and become its pet. From then on, like senior brother Lu Kang, he continued to provide resources and information to the owner of the monster.
Gradually, he became numb and fully recognized his status as a human favorite. The relationship with his senior brother also gradually returned to the previous friendship.
"Junior brother Lu Ming, we are in big trouble. That Li family store not only sells puppet beasts on a large scale, but also has launched a mission to threaten puppet beasts.
They can repair the puppet beasts of Lianxu and below, and the repair speed is very fast, and the repair price is far lower than the conditions we offer!"
Lu Kang spoke helplessly, and then added a lot of details.
"What? There is such a person. Is he a seventh-level puppet master? Otherwise, how could it be repaired so quickly? This is too fast.
If the master finds out, he will definitely go crazy. If he is really a seventh-level puppet master, he must be a fusion monk, and we can't solve it!"
Lu Ming frowned and paced back and forth in the secret room.
Ximen's store suddenly opened a new business, which really hit them hard and made them feel deeply anxious.
"Whether this person is a seventh-level puppet beast or not, you will only know if you have seen him. The reason why I came to look for my junior brother is
I just want my junior brother to find out the reality of this puppet master under the guise of visiting and communicating. Only by understanding the strength of this person can we know how to act next!"
Lu Kang told him why he was here. He first wanted to find out the basic situation of the puppet master in Ximen's shop.
"Okay, I'll go! I'll go now!"
Lu Ming had no reason to refuse. He had to go for the sake of the monster master.
At this time, in the secret room of Ximen's shop, Ximen Changqing came out again, and he finished repairing all the puppet beasts he had just delivered.
"Fourth brother, you are going too fast. Are you really the only one repairing the puppet beast?"
Looking at the pile of newly repaired puppet beasts in his hand, Ximen Changyu was shocked and smiled softly.
The mystery of his fourth brother was not limited to this. He was already so shocked that he became numb.
"Okay, another guest is here, but these two guests look a little strange, so be careful!"
Ximen Changqing's spiritual consciousness was already comparable to that of a fusion monk, so he naturally discovered Lu Ming and Lu Kang easily.
These two people are a bit sneaky. In addition, Lu Ming is a sixth-level puppet master. This is no secret. Ximen Changqing also recognized this person.
"Lu Ming, the sixth-level puppet master of the Huayuan Sect, why did he come here suddenly? Is he here to ask questions?"
Ximen Changyu naturally understood that the new business opened by Ximen's store would seriously affect Lu Ming's income and reputation.
After all, the puppet beasts repaired by Ximen's shop cannot be compared to Lu Ming in terms of speed and price.
Comparing the two, Lu Ming looks more like a black-hearted liar.
"No matter what they are here for, just deal with them carefully. I will always pay attention to them."
Ximen Changqing smiled slightly, took out a top-level forbidden god mask, and changed his outfit at the same time.
He seemed to be able to guess the other party's purpose, so he had to prepare early for this.
"Haha! Master Lu Ming, fellow Taoist Lu Kang, what kind of wind brought you two here?"
Ximen Changyu greeted the two of them with a smile, thinking about their intentions.
"Haha! Fellow Taoist Changyu, the newly opened business in your store has really taken away our Huayuan Sect's business.
Many monks who have already paid a deposit forcefully ask for the deposit and do not want my junior brother to help them repair the puppet beast. This has nothing to do with fellow Taoists!"
Lu Kang spoke with a sinister look on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Lu Kang, it's not that we are robbing Hua Yuanzong of his business. The threat from monster beasts is really great. Repair the damaged puppet beasts earlier.
When the monks face the monsters, they have an extra chance of winning, and I am also thinking about the overall situation of the human race!"
Ximen Changyu naturally had his own words and refused to give in.
"Senior brother, I think what Taoist fellow Taoist Chang Yu said is very reasonable. It's all my fault that my junior brother is not good at studying, and the repair speed is far behind the requirements of other fellow Taoists.
For the sake of the overall interests of the human race, I must learn with humility and try to increase the speed of repairing the puppet beasts. Fellow Daoist Changyu will definitely help me!"
Lu Ming said with a look of curiosity.
"Fellow Daoist Changyu, what my junior brother wants to do is to ask the senior puppet master of your shop for advice. For the sake of the overall interests of the human race, I hope that Friend Changyu will not refuse!"
Lu Kang was afraid that Ximen Changyu was pretending to be naive, so he quickly reiterated.
"this……"
Hearing this, Ximen Changyu hesitated for a moment, then received a message from Ximen Changqing, so he nodded and said: "Fellow Taoist Lu Ming has said so, so naturally I can't refuse, please come in!"
After saying that, he led the way and led the two of them into a nearby private room, where Ximen Changqing had been waiting for him for a long time.
"this……"
Seeing Ximen Changqing's appearance, Ximen Changyu was stunned and really shocked.
Although my fourth brother often changes his appearance, at least he is still a young man. This time, he actually disguised himself as an old man with white beard and hair, and looked frail.
"Ahem! This fellow Taoist must be Master Lu Ming! I've admired him for a long time!"
Ximen Changqing pretended to be in poor health and saluted Lu Ming.
"Don't dare, don't dare, dare to ask your Excellency?"
Seeing that the other party was an old monk in the early stage of cultivating the void, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart.
With this kind of cultivation, I am afraid that I will stop at the realm of refining the void, and will never be able to advance to the body.
"I'm just an unknown person. My name is not worth mentioning. I only have some experience in making puppets!"
Ximen Changqing spoke slightly out of breath, and took out a puppet beast that had been refined not long ago.
"Haha! With the strength of fellow Taoist, if I say that I am a nobody, then I will be ashamed of myself.
I am here to sincerely seek advice from fellow Taoists, and I hope that fellow Taoists will not hesitate to give you some advice!"
Lu Ming pretended to be curious and spoke.
"Okay, since fellow Taoist said so, I will refine an early stage puppet beast on the spot. I hope fellow Taoist will not laugh!"
Ximen Changqing took out some high-level puppet-making materials and prepared to refine the simplest attacking puppet beast.
The reason why he refined the god-level puppet beast was to save time. If he refined the virtual puppet beast, it would take too much time, and he didn't want to be in trouble.
And by refining the god-turned-puppet beast, it is enough to show Ximen Changqing's puppet-making skills.
I saw that he started very quickly, and at a speed that shocked Master Lu Ming, he completed a puppet beast in the early stage of divine transformation step by step.
