Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 252 Puppet Mark

In this way, with the blessing of Shang Liangshan, the temple spirit, the planting course was finalized.

Of course, this is something.

"Liangshan, speaking of the Forgotten Township Academy, there are many kids who are almost fifteen years old. It's time for them to join the Temple Guards." The old patriarch said, looking at the glow in the sky.

"Let's wait until Daniu and the others come out before we do this." Shang Liangshan, who was too lazy to deal with trivial matters, said after taking a sip of tea.

"What's going on with Daniu and the others? Why have they been in seclusion for such a long time and still haven't been able to make a breakthrough?" the old patriarch asked with a serious look.

The old man had visited Da Niu and the others several times, and they all seemed to be breathing steadily, but there was no sign of any breakthrough.

This was not right, but the old man couldn't figure out why, so he naturally didn't dare to wake up the person in seclusion rashly. Now he had someone to ask.

"Something went wrong." Shang Liangshan changed the subject and said, "Old Patriarch, you know that there are thirty-six spirit butterflies that have broken through to level four after emerging from their cocoons."

"I know." The old patriarch nodded. Heizi, the big mouth, had told him about this secretly.

Shang Liangshan pondered and said, "That's the problem. After getting Xiaocao's consent, Xiaola secretly brought thirty-six elves and cast a Wanhua formation on Yibao and the others."

"This formation has the effect of calming the mind and allowing those who enter the formation to experience life in a fantasy world."

"Since it was the first time for Xiaola and the others to perform the exercise, their strength was a bit too much, causing the remaining leopards and the others to continue training in the illusion."

“…” After hearing this, the old patriarch felt powerless to complain. What kind of thing was this?

The old man thought for a moment and asked, "Will there be any problems?"

"No, the longer you persist, the greater the benefits will be." Shang Liangshan said affirmatively.

"Then let Xiaola and the others perform the Thousand Flowers Formation once more. Maybe it can help Yibao and the others break through a few small realms."

"Oh, this... well, it's better to use it in moderation. Maybe next time. I'm afraid that Yibao and the others don't have strong willpower."

"That's right." The old patriarch nodded and murmured, "It seems that we need to strengthen the willpower training of our sons."

Shangliangshan…

"Hey, Liangshan, you're out." Yihuo, who jumped up from the bottom of the rock peak, said in surprise when he saw Shang Liangshan.

"Haha, Second Elder, I'll have to trouble you to show off your skills tonight." Shang Liangshan said happily.

He wanted to eat barbecue, and he had to admit that wild meat was delicious.

"No problem, I'll make braised bear paws in a minute."

"Leave the bones to Xiao Chao." The old patriarch reminded.

"I know. Chief, you have reminded me for three days."

"Who told you to forget?"

"I drank a little too much that time, and my head was a little confused."

"How dare you say that? You almost drank up all the wine that the winery brewed."

"Chief, I don't want to take the blame. I'm not the only one who stole the wine."

"Hmm." Seeing that the old patriarch and Yihuo were about to start talking nonsense, Shang Liangshan quickly cleared his throat and asked, "Why does Brother Chao need bear bones below level 4?"

"Oh, Xiao Chao has been doing research recently, refining a third-level mechanical beast." The old patriarch explained.

"Liangshan, let me tell you, Xiaochao is really ambitious. He said that if the third-level mechanical beast is successfully refined, he will give one to every family in the village. Then, whether it is fighting or going out to mine, they will be guaranteed..."

"Wait, what does this have to do with mining?" Shang Liangshan asked in surprise.

"A few days ago, Tu Lao discovered an iron mine upstream, and Xiao Chao has been eyeing it since then." The old patriarch said, pointing to the forest in the west.

"That's not right. I remember that mechanical beasts need energy to drive them, and they also need mental power to control them. Brother Chao has solved these two problems."

"I know this. Xiao Chao plans to use Yuanling coins as energy. As for the control, he got inspiration from basic ancient books and created something called...what's it called?" Yihuo couldn't remember it for a while.

“It’s called Puppet Mark.” The old patriarch added.

"Yes, yes, yes, the puppet mark, this also has the credit of Lao Liu, they created it together." Yihuo nodded.

"Will the Great Elder agree to use Yuanling coins as energy?" Shang Liangshan asked in surprise.

"Haha, Lao Feng did not agree at first, but Xiao Chao said that once there is enough iron ore, the weapon forging workshop will continuously produce high-quality weapons. When we sell them, we won't have to worry about not making any Yuanling coins." The old patriarch said happily.

"This is a perfect killer weapon." Shang Liangshan said with a smile.

"For this reason, Xiao Chao gathered all the people in the village who had experience in blacksmithing, and even set his sights on the guard team, but I rejected them. We only have the limited strength we can offer, and we can't let them do blacksmithing."

"Indeed." Shang Liangshan deeply agreed with what Yihuo said. Wealth is important, but the power to keep wealth is more important.

"No more talking, I'm going to get some bear paws." Yihuo drank a cup of tea, turned around, walked to the edge of the cliff, and jumped down.

Shang Liangshan lay back in his chair, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "Old Patriarch, did you go smoothly in exterminating the ghosts?"

"It went smoothly. It went smoothly for Tu Lao and Fang Kuai. They had nothing to do and went to the underground palace camp to do infrastructure construction. Even Hei Zi went with them to join in the fun." The old patriarch said this, then changed the subject and frowned, "But it was this smooth sailing that gave me some guesses."

"What guess?"

"The little devil's guess."

"Little evil demon?" Shang Liangshan straightened his expression, looked at the old patriarch, and waited for the next words.

The old patriarch pondered and said, "I have two guesses. One is that the high-level ghosts were secretly sent to the mainland by the little grudge demons, leaving low-level ghosts behind to attract attention."

"Second, the little evil spirit devoured the temple spirit and hid the high-level ghosts in the outer temple to accumulate strength."

One was fine, but when Shang Liangshan heard the second, his face turned ugly.

If the old patriarch's guess is correct, it will definitely be a big deal if the resentful demon erupts.

"This is just a guess. Never mind. This is not something we can worry about." After speaking out the guess that had been in his heart for a long time, the old patriarch lay down comfortably.

The old man was relieved, but Shang Liangshan was in a bit of trouble.

But after thinking about it, he found that there was nothing he could do, so he just lay down.

"Awoo" a wolf howled, the Silver Wolf Guard returned.

Not long after, Yijiu climbed up the rock and was delighted when he saw Shang Liangshan. He told him about the progress of the Silver Wolf Guard.

In the No. 2 underground palace camp, Heizi looked at the soil layer and blocks that had finished the civil engineering and asked, "Haha, Tu Lao, Block, Xiaocao sent a message saying that the master has come out of seclusion. Do you two want to go back?"

"I'll go back after I'm done with my work." Cube said, looking at the newly expanded space.

"I have to go to the temporary camp of the elimination team later and go back after a few days." Tuceng said as he took out the bacon.

"Haha, then I'll have to trouble you, Old Man Tu. I'll go back first." After saying that, Heizi flew towards the temple.

"Old Tu, my master won't be unhappy if we don't go back." Little Cube said worriedly.
