Mo Lei led Ning Yi through the front hall and to the backyard of Jinshi Pavilion.
The layout here is different from that of the front hall. It is lush and green, with many strange-shaped plants that are difficult to name.
"careful."
A plant that looked like an octopus suddenly appeared under the hood and entangled Ning Yi.
The figure disappeared, and Ning Yi appeared a few meters away.
Before he could ask, he suddenly felt his feet tightening. He looked down and saw roots as thin as hair quickly climbing up his ankles, reaching his knees in the blink of an eye.
Ning Yi snorted coldly and exerted a little force on his legs.
The roots tightened and made a slight sound, but none of them broke.
Ning Yi's face changed slightly. Although he didn't use all his strength, his current physical strength was slightly stronger than when Lu Yue used his 'Dali' magical power.
This filament can actually withstand the force, which shows how strong it is.
Ning Yi increased his strength by another 20%, but the roots finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke apart with a bang. The others seemed to be frightened, and they broke away and burrowed into the ground one after another.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Ning Yi. Ning Yi was startled and took a step back to concentrate on warning.
"Master."
Mo Lei shouted and introduced politely: "This is my master, whose surname is Gongshu. Ning Yi, don't worry too much, he just loves to tease people."
Ning Yi dared not worry too much. With the movement technique that appeared silently just now, it would not take much effort to kill him.
This man was dressed as an old farmer, holding a tool shovel in his right hand. He looked Ning Yi up and down, grinned and said: "Boy, you are young and have a lot of strange strength. Not bad, not bad."
"I've seen senior Gongshu."
Ning Yi hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, but with the strength of his soul, he could not feel the slightest fluctuation of true energy from the old man. This was a state that only those who have restrained their divine power and returned to their original nature can achieve it.
Ning Yi has seen a few such powerful people.
Without exception, they are all great monks in the Nascent Soul Realm.
"I don't like this."
The old man waved his hand, stepped forward, put his arm around Ning Yi's shoulders, and said with a smile: "How do you feel?"
Ning Yi was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Mo Lei, not knowing why.
"These are puppets carefully cultivated by my master."
Mo Lei felt a little embarrassed, and explained with a smile: "Master means, what do you think of the puppets he cultivated?"
"Nature is...excellent."
Ning Yi came back to his senses and realized that he was being used to practice on himself.
Looking around the small courtyard that looked like a botanical garden, Ning Yi was really surprised. If Mo Lei hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have been able to connect these plants with the puppets.
Because they seem to be real life.
"Isn't this the first time we've met?"
The old man seemed to have understood what Ning Yi was thinking, and looked very proud, saying: "This is my original creation. Who said that puppets can only be made from gold and stone. After research, I found that plants are actually more suitable for making puppets and are more malleable.
"
"Senior is amazing."
Ning Yi gave a thumbs up, even though Ning Yi was not very proficient in puppetry.
But he also knew that plants were indeed unique in some aspects, so he followed the words and said: "Plants can be grafted, broken branches can be regenerated, and they do not have fatal organs. They are indeed a good candidate."
"Haha, good point."
The old man laughed loudly when he heard this, looked at Ning Yi with a rather surprised expression, and then glanced at Mo Lei, and said: "Look, even an outsider knows the development potential of plant puppets. You are such a stupid boy, you actually
I’m really angry because I don’t want to learn.”
Mo Lei chuckled, not angry, and retorted in a low voice: "This thing is good, but it's not high quality."
"you……"
The old man pouted his beard angrily and said nothing for a long time.
It is better to use your eyes to look at your nose, and your nose to look at your mouth without interrupting.
The two masters and apprentices obviously each have their own side.
The puppets made of gold and stone are indeed very durable if high-quality materials are used. Although the plant puppets have some changes, they are limited by the materials and have strong limitations.
"Hmph, just wait."
The old man hugged Ning Yi angrily and walked forward, turning back and shouting: "One day, I will regret it."
Mo Lei stood there dumbfounding, his character was a little out of touch.
But compared with the master, it is nothing. My own master is really a childish person, and he does it as he says.
"Let me show you my latest treasure."
The old man took Ning Yi into the courtyard, pointed at a silver stone trough, and said proudly: "Look, my latest achievement."
Ning Yi took a look and took a breath of air.
I saw that the silver stone trough was surrounded by densely packed spiritual stones. If you count them carefully, the number was around a hundred. The bursts of spiritual energy were injected into the silver stone trough through the formation.
In the stone trough, there is a layer of dark yellow soil.
This soil is also of extraordinary quality, every particle is dark and yellow in color, and what is planted in the soil are small yellow-brown balls the size of longan.
No leaves and no skills.
"Senior, what is this?"
Ning Yi looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see any clues.
"This is a growth puppet."
Mentioning this puppet, the old man's eyes gleamed with excitement as he explained: "They are like eggs. They can grow into any shape according to the owner's wishes. Moreover, they can slowly become stronger until they reach their mature form."
Ning Yi raised his eyebrows and heard the power of it.
Once the puppet is made, it is finalized.
If you want to make changes in the future, you will need to add materials again. The scope of the changes is not very large, and the improvement depends entirely on the puppet master.
These are puppets, because they are not real lives and have no way to grow and improve themselves.
The puppet made by the old man was initially in the form of an egg.
After the master determines the form, it grows on its own and eventually reaches maturity, which is the upper limit of the puppet's ability.
At first glance, there is not much difference from ordinary puppets.
However, he imitates part of the process of life growth.
If the upper limit of the puppet's growth potential could be eliminated or increased, it would be equivalent to life.
Because life has infinite possibilities!
There is no doubt that this is a big progress.
Perhaps, this is the reason why the old man chose to use plants to make puppets. He wanted to use this method to understand the true way of creation of life through the way of puppets.
Tiangang's first magical power, 'Mediating Creation', is a manifestation of this way.
"Very ambitious?"
Ning Yi complained, staring at the nine puppet eggs in the stone trough, his heart moved slightly.
They can change into any form, and naturally can change their arms. It would be great if you buy one for your father.
But, looking at the situation, I'm afraid the price is not low.
After all, from what I can see in front of me, it took hundreds of spirit stones to cultivate nine, which shows how precious they are.
"How about it? Do you want it?"
A treacherous look flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said seductively: "This thing has grown to perfection, and its ability is comparable to that of a monk who established the Great Perfection of Foundation. When the old man refined them, he also added the innate abilities of six kinds of demonic plants. Hehe, no
I boast, there is only one in the world, and if you have money, there is nowhere to buy it. You only need to agree to one condition, and I will give you one."
