Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 2056: Chapter 680: 1000 Zhuyan, Ancient Puppet Sect!_2

It’s important to know that the soul of a cultivator is extremely significant.

Once fractured and damaged, it will affect the soul’s origin source and even life potential.

”Were you a cultivator before you died?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

”Yes, if you are interested in this secret technique, as long as you let me go, I can give it to you.”

Qian Zhuyan saw Lu Changsheng’s surprise and spoke.

”So, the man who attacked and killed my spiritual pet, and was slain by me, is not your master? The one who controlled and deployed the puppet battle array wasn’t him, but you.”

Realizing that the puppet before him wasn’t a Third Rank puppet refined by someone, Lu Changsheng instantly understood that the prior twelve puppets were likely controlled by this puppet.

The person he thought was a peerless genius in the Puppet Dao was actually just an ordinary Late Stage Core Formation cultivator, not the master of this puppet.

”Yes.”

The black flames in the puppet’s eye sockets burned, its voice hoarse.

”Remarkable.”

Lu Changsheng praised, realizing that this was a talent, a top-level talent, and continued to ask: ”So, were the previous puppets also crafted by you?”

His biggest gain from this Secret Realm journey was the various Heaven and Earth spiritual materials.

Unless he fully armed himself or ensured his Core Formation wife and children each had a magic treasure, he wouldn’t be able to consume them all.

But he didn’t have the time or energy to refine artifacts and create magical treasures by himself.

If the puppet before him was a top-tier puppet master, he could subdue it and use those heavenly and earthly treasures to refine Third Rank top-level puppets, increasing the family’s foundation!

”Yes.”

The puppet continued to respond.

”Listening to your words, Daoist, you seem to want to survive, if that’s the case, let’s make a deal.”

”As long as you craft... hmm, a hundred puppets for me, and pass on the puppet skills, to train ten puppet masters for me, I can set you free.”

The Bi Lake Mountain Lu Family was once known for its puppetry, but as time went on and they ventured out of the Bi Lake area, the level of puppetry became somewhat inadequate.

Since the puppet before him was a top-tier Puppet Dao master, it could help his family train puppet masters and forge top-level puppets.

”I’ve transformed half of my soul into puppet spirit, unable to remain awake for long, at most I can give you my puppet skills.”

Qian Zhuyan suppressed the unrest in her soul and spoke, her voice hoarse and eerie.

Facing a life-and-death crisis long ago, seeing her sect destroyed, in a rush, she merged her soul into the puppet.

The process was more of a chance mishap, transforming half of her soul into puppet spirit, allowing her perfect control over the puppet.

But the cost was that the half of her soul transformed into puppet spirit became akin to a ghost cultivator, her personality gradually distorted, leaving only hatred and obsession in her heart.

Under such circumstances, even her waking soul was constantly affected by the puppet spirit soul, she had to use a secret technique to sleep, dispersing the influence and negative emotions.

”Unable to remain awake for long, to stay awake?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, immediately feeling the puppet before him had limited value.

After all, his family possessed the puppet skills inheritance from Tianyuan True Monarch.

With his capability and status as the Great Dream City Lord, obtaining some Puppet Dao inheritances wasn’t difficult.

He wanted to subdue it because often, it’s not enough to have cultivation technique inheritance, one requires guidance and teaching.

And this puppet couldn’t help with teaching or crafting, thus it held no value.

”How did you craft your previous twelve puppets?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

Since she couldn’t remain awake for long, where did the twelve Third Rank puppets come from?

After a moment of silence, Qian Zhuyan said: ”Though I can’t stay awake for long, I can extend my waking time through Soul Path treasures and secret treasures.”

”Moreover, the person you killed was also a Third Rank puppet master, and most of these puppets were crafted together by us.”

The puppet’s voice grew increasingly cold and chilling, as if whispering from the depths of hell, sending a shiver down one’s spine.

”Husband, her soul transformed into puppet spirit resembles ghost cultivator techniques a bit, so I suspect her puppet spirit soul must cultivate in Extreme Yin Land, otherwise it will be invaded by the yin energy between heaven and earth and turn into a fierce spirit.”

At this moment, Hong Lian communicated to Lu Changsheng: ”Yet her situation is different from ghost cultivators, if she goes to Extreme Yin Land to cultivate, the other half of her soul might not adapt, constantly being corroded by ghost energy.”

”Yes.”

Lu Changsheng also noticed the puppet before him had very unstable emotions, now seemingly forcibly suppressing the unrest in her soul.

He spoke slowly to the puppet: ”If that’s the case, let’s collaborate, as long as you can craft puppets for me and train puppet masters, you can ask for any Soul Path treasures.”

The puppet remained silent, seeming to fall into dead silence, enveloped by a chilling aura.

”There is no enmity between you and me, you could cooperate with others, perhaps you can cooperate with me as well.”

”Moreover, it was you who initiated action against my spiritual pet.”

Lu Changsheng’s voice was casual, maintaining an idle and calm demeanor.

”I want revenge, as long as you help me avenge my blood feud, I am willing to craft puppets for you! Teach you all puppet skills!”

The puppet suddenly trembled wildly, as if a war machine starting up, its voice akin to venomous snakes and sinister birds, filled with pain, resentment, and wrath.

”Don’t get excited, talk slowly.”

Lu Changsheng noticed the puppet’s soul state had problems, he immediately lifted his palm and yin-yang mana flowed, attempting to stabilize her state.

Under the balance of yin-yang mana, the puppet’s state gradually calmed, yet with sadness and pleading said: ”Revenge, as long as you help me get revenge, I can be your puppet, help you do anything...”
