Chapter 152: Chapter 127: Ancient Technique Acquired, Double Lottery, External Incarnation

Fu Molan shook the Soul Summoning Bell in her hand again, retrieving the Human Puppet Technique, and all the Fire Crows burst into flames and were collected into the gourd. The human puppet quietly stood behind Fu Molan.

”Molan, this human puppet’s strength is impressive.”

Unlike the puppet Fu Molan obtained from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, this human puppet could autonomously operate the cultivation technique without needing Source Stones to replenish mana. The only difference from humans was the complete destruction of its Divine Soul, with some actions executed mechanically on the owner’s command.

Fortunately.

This human puppet was recently acquired from the ruins by Qiann Yun and had not yet been thoroughly studied for effective control. Otherwise, they would have needed to go to great lengths to slay Qiann Yun.

The value of this human puppet was even greater than they had imagined.

Fu Molan pondered for a moment and said:

”Patriarch, this human puppet’s bone age was only in its early twenties, yet it could cultivate to the Peak of Qi Cultivation. A further step would have been Foundation Establishment, showing its excellent potential. According to the Puppet Scripture I received, such human puppets were often refined by ancient cultivators to create External Incarnations.”

This clearly shows.

How precious this human puppet is.

Fu Molan said:

”Patriarch, it is more suitable for you to use such a precious item. I am currently only at the Eighth-Layer of Qi Cultivation; if targeted by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, there might be nothing left of the human puppet.”

It’s actually intended for refining an External Incarnation.

Fu Changsheng was taken aback; he thought it was just a special puppet. Seeing Molan’s insistence, he nodded immediately:

”So be it. Let this human puppet follow me for now in cultivation. When we return to the clan, we will inform the clan members that it is my personal guard, and it will be named Shadow the First. Its identity as a human puppet must not be disclosed to others.”

”Yes, Patriarch!”

Unknowingly.

They saw a ruined palace from afar, with a plaque that still had the words ”Array” written on it swaying in the wind in front of the collapsed arch.

Fu Changsheng used his Divine Sense and discovered shadows flickering within the ruins of the palace.

.....

Inside the ruined palace.

Two figures were searching near the collapsed northwest palace. Both were dressed in Lei family attire, with the older being Lei Tianyin and the younger being Lei Tiangang.

Lei Tiangang straightened up and patiently advised:

”Elder brother, we’ve searched this Array Hall ruin twice, but found nothing. I think we should hurry and meet up with the Clan Leader. Before departing, the Clan Leader instructed us to head to the Spirit Medicine Garden as soon as we entered the ruins. After such a long delay, the Clan Leader is likely already at the Spirit Medicine Garden. If we delay further, we’ll undoubtedly face the Clan Leader’s reprimand.”

”No rush, let’s keep searching!”

Lei Tianyin continued looking without lifting his head.

Years ago, their ancestral house also entered the ruins, and a hundred years later, their ancestor secretly passed a handwritten note to their father. The note clearly recorded a complete set of Array Maps here, which could be used for a Mountain Protection Array. At that time, due to a Demon Beast attack, their ancestor didn’t have time to take it, leaving it stranded here.

This place.

Likely hasn’t been entered by anyone else since then.

The two brothers entered the ruins and headed straight here; others certainly couldn’t retrieve that set of Array Maps so quickly.

In ancient times.

Any Array Map that could be used for a Mountain Protection Array was extraordinary, and it was a complete set. If the brothers found it and took it to the Wanning Commerce Association at the Wanning Marketplace, they could surely exchange it for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

”Elder brother, let’s just forget it. If we don’t go now, the Clan Leader will surely hold us accountable later!”

”What’s your hurry?!”

Lei Tianyin frowned, straightened up, and instinctively glanced around before whispering:

”You blockhead, even if we successfully obtain the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object from the Spirit Medicine Garden on this trip, do you think the Foundation Establishment Pill will be given to us brothers?”

”The Clan Leader failed at Foundation Establishment last time, and is definitely determined to make another attempt. Even if there are extra Foundation Establishment Pills, they will be given to Tianxin and Tianxing, who are of the same line as the Clan Leader. No matter how you count, it won’t be given to us.”

”Second brother, how did father instruct us before he passed away? We must seize the opportunity in these ruins; whether we can rise in the ranks depends on this chance!”

Lei Tiangang, however, disagreed and shook his head:

”Elder brother, but father also said, without the clan, there wouldn’t even be a small family like ours.

The Liuu Family Patriarch of Anyang County has already auctioned a Foundation Establishment Pill. The Fu Family is supported by the Shangguan Family. If our Lei family cannot acquire a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object from the Spirit Medicine Garden to produce a Foundation Establishment, extinction looms.

This time, we’ve bypassed the Shangguan Family and sought the Ping Family of Pingshan County. The risk is great. If word leaks, the Shangguan Family certainly won’t spare us. Hence, we should unite and first secure the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object from the Spirit Medicine Garden.”

Lei Tianyin could only roll his eyes at these words.

If the clan is to have a Foundation Establishment, why should it not be their brothers?

The Clan Leader has already failed once; this chance should go to their line. Remember, when the Lei family was established, their ancestor also played an indispensable role!

Lei Tianyin did not respond further and continued to search.

.....

On the flying ship.

Fu Changsheng and Fu Molan listened to the brothers’ conversation, and Fu Molan quickly transmitted a message: ”Patriarch, should we take action now or spare them for the time being and follow them to the Spirit Medicine Garden?”

”Hold off for now!”

The Lei brothers clearly knew the location of the Spirit Medicine Garden, and from their conversation, the Ping family cultivator likely was unaware of the details.
