Chapter 115: The Main Material of the Spiritual Pivot Puppet
But at this moment, the situation was beyond his control.
Even if True Master Deathbane was unwilling deep down, he could only maintain a smile on his face that looked even worse than crying.
He said to True Master Xuan Yin, “A bet is a bet. Fellow Daoist, you’re too polite.”
…
A moment later.
When Xu Zhengyang returned to the Guiyuan Divine Vessel, True Master Xuan Yin did not linger and immediately urged the vessel to depart from the Valley of Villains.
Seeing that his own people were now safe—
Xu Zhengyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately released Chen Yabo from the Spirit Beast Pouch. At the same time, he took out the Storage Pouch he had looted from Chen Yabo, along with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and handed them all over to True Master Xuan Yin. He said,
“Reporting to the Sect Master, this disciple has fulfilled the mission and successfully captured the traitor!”
“Mm.”
True Master Xuan Yin nodded and gestured to the people behind him to escort Chen Yabo to the prison on the Guiyuan Divine Vessel.
As for the trifling possessions on Chen Yabo—
True Master Xuan Yin didn’t even look at them and directly gifted them to Xu Zhengyang, saying, “You can keep these.
But demonic path treasures go against the natural order. It’s best if you destroy them.”
As he spoke—
True Master Xuan Yin waved his hand, and a sea-blue bead the size of a fist, exuding an indescribable fragrance, floated in front of Xu Zhengyang.
He continued, “Just in time.
Your battle armor is refined from snake-type spiritual materials, and it matches this Flood Dragon Pearl.
Once you establish your Foundation,
let your master merge the two and re-refine them together.”
Xu Zhengyang hadn’t expected that apart from obtaining Chen Yabo’s years of accumulated belongings, he would even receive a Tier 3 treasure like the Flood Dragon Pearl!
So, he immediately bowed to True Master Xuan Yin and said, “Thank you, Sect Master, for the bestowed treasure!”
True Master Xuan Yin laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, “This Flood Dragon Pearl was originally something you won from that old turtle, Shadowless, so it doesn’t really count as my reward.”
As he spoke—
True Master Xuan Yin added, “You’ve worked hard this time. Go and rest for a bit.”
“Yes.”
Xu Zhengyang said, “I shall obey the Sect Master’s orders.”
…
Before returning to the True Essence Sect—
True Master Xuan Yin deliberately steered the Guiyuan Divine Vessel in a loop, first returning Sect Masters Shadowless and Huan Yue to their respective sects, and only then began the journey back.
Upon returning to the Floating Mist Mountains—
True Master Xuan Yin said to Xu Zhengyang, “You may return first.
Once Elder Gong executes that traitor before the Founders’ Hall, he will deliver the promised item to you.”
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang felt slightly puzzled, but still responded obediently, “I shall obey the Sect Master’s orders.”
…
Returning to the Twilight Shadow Pavilion, Xu Zhengyang dove into his Meditation Room and finally had a chance to tally up the gains from this trip.
When Xu Zhengyang opened Chen Yabo’s Storage Pouch—
He finally understood why True Master Xuan Yin hadn’t even glanced at it before gifting it away.
Seven middle-grade Spirit Stones;
A mess of Blood Path materials;
Pills of unknown origin;
…
After a quick examination, Xu Zhengyang concluded that the most valuable item in Chen Yabo’s Storage Pouch was likely the large Storage Pouch itself.
From the spiritual circuit engraved on its exterior, which formed the characters for “Divine Mechanism,”
it was evident that this pouch had been crafted by his master, Pei Zhen...
“People strive upwards while water flows down.
But that disciple of Elder Gong insisted on going against the flow—no wonder he ended up like this…”
Xu Zhengyang muttered.
After sorting and categorizing the items from the Storage Pouch, he dove back into the Meditation Room and began purifying oxygen to replenish the energy he had spent during the battle.
During the fight with Chen Yabo, the tanker puppets Xu Zhengyang summoned had actually been filled with oxygen!
Once the oxygen was released from the tanker puppets—
Xu Zhengyang only needed to use a bit of wind-type magic to blow the oxygen toward his Spirit-Devouring Wild Flame,
and its power would multiply exponentially!
…
In the days that followed—
While repairing his damaged puppets, Xu Zhengyang also took the opportunity to refill them with oxygen. In fact, he even prepared some even more potent liquid oxygen this time!
Three days later—
While Xu Zhengyang was playing with Da Fei during his free time, the Restriction Jade Token of the Twilight Shadow Pavilion suddenly trembled:
“Third Senior Brother, it’s me—Liu Jingya.”
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang paused in surprise and said, “What is she here for?”
Though he said that,
he still instructed the Su Sisters to go receive the guest.
…
Moments later, in the guest hall of the Twilight Shadow Pavilion—
Liu Jingya, upon seeing Xu Zhengyang, handed him a Jade Box sealed with a Sealing Talisman and said, “Third Senior Brother,
Elder Pei, Head of Spirit Mechanism Peak, asked me to run an errand and deliver this to you.”
Xu Zhengyang immediately recalled that Liu Jingya had been an inner disciple of Spirit Mechanism Peak before becoming Pei Zhen’s named disciple.
So he accepted the box from Liu Jingya and smiled, “Much appreciated, Junior Sister.”
As he spoke—
Xu Zhengyang took out a bottle of Yellow Dragon Pills from his Storage Pouch and handed it to Liu Jingya, saying, “I don’t have anything else of value.
Please accept this.”
Liu Jingya tried to refuse repeatedly, but couldn’t resist Xu Zhengyang’s insistence. She finally accepted the Yellow Dragon Pill with thanks and bid farewell.
After seeing Liu Jingya off—
Xu Zhengyang dove into his Meditation Room and eagerly opened the Jade Box!
Inside the box—
Aside from a single Jade Slip,
there was also a small black pillar about the size of a pinky finger, already prepared and sealed with a Sealing Talisman.
“So this is the main material for refining a Spiritual Pivot Puppet?”
Xu Zhengyang speculated, pressing the Jade Slip to his forehead to examine its contents.
…
A moment passed.
After putting the Jade Slip away, Xu Zhengyang suddenly understood and said, “No wonder Elder Gong waited until after Chen Yabo’s execution to give me this item.
So the main material for the Spiritual Pivot Puppet… is actually a cultivator’s spiritual root!”
Though Chen Yabo was short-sighted, being taken in by Gong Jin meant his aptitude was not too bad—
He had a Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Xu Zhengyang hadn’t expected Chen Yabo’s spiritual root to still be of use, and said excitedly, “Once the Spiritual Pivot Puppet is successfully refined,
my cultivation speed will skyrocket!
It’s just…”
At this point, Xu Zhengyang’s face showed a hint of embarrassment. He muttered, “The Spiritual Pivot Puppet is a Tier 2 treasure, so I’ll have to trouble Master again…”
Coincidentally, besides the Spiritual Pivot Puppet,
Xu Zhengyang also wanted Pei Zhen to help him merge the two Ten Thousand Souls Banners, so he didn’t delay. He immediately summoned the Azure Sky Crane Feather behind him and flew toward the Divine Mechanism Palace.
…
Shortly after—
When Pei Zhen heard the purpose of Xu Zhengyang’s visit, he chuckled and said, “So it seems that disciple Elder Gong took in wasn’t completely useless after all.”
As he spoke—
Pei Zhen accepted the 5090, the Ten Thousand Souls Banners, and the Heavenly Spiritual Root taken from Chen Yabo, saying, “Merging the banners is easy, but refining the Spiritual Pivot Puppet is delicate work.
Even for me—
it’ll take about half a month to finish it completely.
You may return for now.
Once the puppet is complete, I’ll have someone deliver it to you.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhengyang was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Pei Zhen, saying, “Thank you, Master!”
