CHAPTER 208: CHAPTER 158: OBTAINING THE GOLDEN LEGEND AGAIN, WHITE TIGER GENIUS SPIRIT ARRIVES_2

But such puppets were meaningless.

What he wanted was a puppet that could freely move around outside and do tasks for him.

The Life Defying Blood Body was already quite ugly. He didn’t want all his puppets to be like that as well.

"How many do you want?"

Wen Miner looked up. As long as it wasn’t Ning Shan’s skin bag, she didn’t care.

How many... Wen Zhixing’s heart stirred; it seemed Wen Miner had already secretly collected quite a few skin bags.

"One set will do. If I need more, I will come to Senior Sister again."

"Okay." Wen Miner nodded.

She then took out the Xiao Yu skin bag she used before and casually tossed it. "Catch."

"Thank you." Wen Zhixing caught it with one hand and instantly felt a soft and supple sensation.

The touch of this skin was just like that of a real person. Without the slightest stiffness, it instead brimmed with vitality, or rather, life-force.

Inside this skin bag, a remnant soul is sealed... Wen Zhixing’s eyes swept across, and he immediately saw the sealed remnant soul within the skin bag. It was precisely the existence of this remnant soul that made the skin bag seem so lifelike.

"In that case, I won’t disturb Senior Sister’s cultivation any longer." Wen Zhixing put away the skin bag, then bowed respectfully.

"I won’t see you out." Wen Miner watched Wang Shouzhen, the agitation in her eyes slowly calming.

She didn’t want to know what Wen Zhixing intended to do with Ning Shan’s corpse and this skin bag. Or rather, she had some guesses, but she didn’t care either. Wen Zhixing could do whatever he wanted; even if Wonderous Palace was turned upside down, it wasn’t her business.

...

BOOM!

The door to the secret chamber opened. Wen Zhixing stepped out directly, and the door closed behind him once more.

Who would have thought that I would run into Wen Miner here. Wen Zhixing shook his head. This was outside of his plan. Ning Shan’s death was also outside of his plan. However, gaining a Legendary Skill, that’s a huge profit.

Wen Zhixing smiled slightly. Even though he had already returned the cultivation jade slip to Wen Miner, everything inside it had been recorded by Fairy Eyes. He could practice it whenever he wanted.

Let’s head to the Refining Artifact Hall first. Wen Zhixing scanned the surroundings; still no one in sight.

Now that he had Ning Shan’s body, he could try to refine it into a puppet. Only, this body and skin bag are not one and the same. I don’t know whether I can successfully refine it.

After a while, Wen Zhixing came to the Refining Artifact Hall again. It was now night, and silence surrounded him.

Just then, the prompt panel began to pop up.

[Blue Fortune Fragment +2, Current Blue Fortune Fragments: 3/3.]

[Purple Fortune Fragment +1, Current Purple Fortune Fragments: 1/4.]

[Golden Fortune Fragment +1, Current Golden Fortune Fragments: 2/5.]

[Current life-span: 305.]

Damn... these Fortune Fragments... Wen Zhixing looked up, his mouth slightly agape. Again? Is the Life Defying Blood Body collecting Fortune Fragments for me? Two blue, one purple, one gold. This time, it’s even more bountiful than the last. The least of them are two Blue Fortune Fragments. Incredible!

Wen Zhixing had seen higher-grade Fortune Fragments before, but getting such gains two days in a row naturally made him unable to contain his joy. At this rate, I fear I’ll become unstoppable.

Wait a minute, this means that the Life Defying Blood Body is really with Murong Fenghua. Wen Zhixing calmed down but then frowned again. One time could be an accident, but two times in a row confirms it. How did the Life Defying Blood Body get mixed up with Murong Fenghua? What exactly is going on with Murong Fenghua? Awoken? Doesn’t seem like it. Not awoken? Then why isn’t the Life Defying Blood Body coming back?

Wen Zhixing couldn’t figure it out. The situation is indeed quite strange. But fortunately, the Life Defying Blood Body, lucky fool that it is, is still alive.

Forget it, let’s not bother about it. Wen Zhixing didn’t dwell on it further. Just let the Life Defying Blood Body cause its own trouble. At most, I’ll give up this Divine Ability. Let’s open this Blue Fortune Fragment first, he decided.

[Blue Fortune Fragment: (3/3) Collected. You can spend one month of life-span to combine and will obtain one of the following fortunes:]

[Option One: Obtain Divine Ability: Fire Eyes.]

[Option Two: Obtain 150 Fortune Points.]

The Divine Ability Fire Eyes, 150 Fortune Points, hmm? There’s no third option this time... Wen Zhixing glanced over and frowned slightly. He had just been considering choosing the third option directly if the other fortune rewards were mediocre, but now it was gone.

[This Fortune Fragment is too old. The scene cannot be traced back; the specific fortunes contained are no longer obtainable.]

[The higher the level of the Fortune Fragment, the longer the fortune scene can be preserved.]

The next moment, new panel prompts popped up, answering Wen Zhixing’s doubts.

So that’s how it is, Wen Zhixing thought with a tinge of regret. At least there is another Divine Ability to choose from, but unfortunately, it doesn’t suit me since I already have Fairy Eyes.

Wen Zhixing took another glance at the options, then quickly chose the 150 Fortune Points.

[Fortune Points +150.]

[Current Fortune Points: 185.]

150 Fortune Points, that’s not bad either, Wen Zhixing thought, quite satisfied with the outcome. A typical Blue Fortune Fragment would usually yield only a few dozen Fortune Points. This one gave him 150 Points, worth several other fragments combined.

With this windfall, I can continue to upgrade the Instrument Path Genius talent. Wen Zhixing checked his current Fortune Points. Normally, I should upgrade the Eternal Youth Formula first, but since my life-span is still sufficient, I can wait. Instrument Path Genius, level up for me!

Wen Zhixing opened his panel and began the upgrade.

[You have spent 100 Fortune Points. Instrument Path Genius (White Quality) is upgrading.]

[Upgrade complete. You’ve obtained the talent: Unparalleled Instrument Path!]

[Unparalleled Instrument Path:] Blue Quality. It significantly strengthens your understanding of the refining path and greatly increases your divine soul’s strength, making the refinement of Spiritual Instruments much more effective.

[Spend 1,000 Fortune Points to upgrade to Blue Quality.]

[Current Fortune Points: 85.]

Unparalleled Instrument Path! Excellent! Wen Zhixing suddenly felt a cool sensation in his head. Once again, an inexplicable power surged into his Sea of Sense, as if the laws of the universe were rapidly integrating into his divine soul.

This talent, Unparalleled Instrument Path, is clearly several levels stronger compared to Instrument Path Genius. Wen Zhixing could distinctly feel his proficiency in the refining path advancing rapidly. Before, he had crammed all the books in the Refining Artifact Hall into his mind. Much of that knowledge, Wen Zhixing had not understood entirely. But now, it was as if he was touched by a stroke of insight; those unclear concepts from before were being swiftly comprehended.

BUZZ!

Wen Zhixing involuntarily closed his eyes and stood still as auras of light began to flicker around him.

A moment later, the prompt panel popped up again.

[Through your diligent cultivation, your refining path has reached the Third Realm: Mastery.]

Unknowingly, Wen Zhixing’s refining path took another step forward. At the same time, Wen Zhixing’s divine soul had also grown much stronger in this short period.

[Divine soul strength increased, life-span +20.]

[Current life-span: 325.]

"Twenty years of life-span, nice," Wen Zhixing nodded slightly. Great, I can live another 20 days. Now, I have ninety percent confidence that I can successfully craft this puppet.

A confident smile spread across Wen Zhixing’s face. This wave of enhancements had been substantial. When it came to refining, he even had a feeling of effortless ease. Refining a puppet is a piece of cake!

"Let the refining begin!" Wen Zhixing began to pull out various auxiliary materials and started the preparatory work. He also set up an array method outside to prevent others from intruding; after all, he was in the process of crafting a puppet and naturally could not afford to be observed by outsiders.

...

Time passed, minute by minute. The night deepened.

Outside the Refining Artifact Hall, within the high-hanging bright moon, a shadow suddenly appeared. Then the shadow began to fall silently toward the ground.

"BAH, BAH~"

A familiar voice sounded as the Life Defying Blood Body was seen riding the white tiger genius spirit toward the Refining Artifact Hall. The Life Defying Blood Body raised its head high, a somewhat proud look in its eyes. It has been searching for two full days. Finally, it has found a clue. Now it can return and report back!
