Chapter 249: Chapter 127: The Admiration of the Celestial Sect Saintess, The Plea of a 7th Layer Expert
At this moment, the Celestial Sect Elder Hua Yanluo clearly believed that it was impossible for Lin Xuankong to have mastered the Spirit Puppet Technique to the Entry Level in such a short time!
In her view, the talent of Celestial Sect Saintess, Third Princess Xiao Ying’er, was exceptionally strong. She was the foremost prodigy among the billions in the Great Xia Dynasty. Even compared to the Buddha Son with the innate Buddha Heart from Rakshasa Kingdom, the top disciple of the Demon Sect, or the Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Immortal Sect from the Central Divine Dynasty, Xiao Ying’er was not much inferior!
Even Third Princess Xiao Ying’er needed more than fifty days to reach the Entry Level of the Spirit Puppet Technique. No matter how strong Mu Shiba’s talent was, it would probably take him several months to half a year to reach Entry Level!
Lin Xuankong then picked up the Demon Prison Cage and looked at Xiao Ying’er. "Your Highness," he said, "I indeed plan to try to activate the Spirit Puppet Technique. I might need to seclude myself in the cave for the next few days!"
Xiao Ying’er’s bright eyes showed a look of surprise. "Could it be that Mr. Mu’s Spirit Puppet Technique has already reached Entry Level?"
Entry Level? It was far from that; it had already reached the Entering the Hall Realm! Lin Xuankong slightly shook his head. "Entry Level? Something like that!"
Such astonishing cultivation speed, he naturally wouldn’t let others know to avoid shocking the world!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ying’er’s eyes brightened. "Mr. Mu truly is a marvel. My Xiao Family has cultivated the Third Spirit Puppet Technique, and there are about a thousand people. Adding the disciples and elders of the Celestial Sect, the total is around several thousand. Including myself, none have managed to cultivate the Third Spirit Puppet Technique to the Entry Level in such a short time!"
Lin Xuankong walked towards the cave and said, "Perhaps my talent is better suited for cultivating the Spirit Puppet Technique!" After speaking, his eyes moved. He suddenly recalled using this same excuse to fool the young lady when his cultivation of the Pine Crane Longevity Technique had been so fast he had to make excuses! Thinking of that charming little foodie at home, he couldn’t help but smile.
At this moment, Hua Yanluo couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Mu, are you really certain you’ve reached Entry Level? Upon reaching the Entry Level of the Spirit Puppet Technique, one can refine the Divine Soul to condense a Mind Illusion. Relying on this Mind Illusion, you can invade the target’s body, suppress their remaining Divine Soul, and leave a Divine Soul Mark. If you haven’t reached Entry Level and forcefully activate the Spirit Puppet Technique, it will cause the Cultivation Technique to backlash, damaging your Heart Thought!"
Hearing this, Lin Xuankong, who had already entered the cave, paused. "I am naturally aware of this!"
The next moment, several giant rocks at the cave entrance moved with a roar, sealing it off!
Outside the cave, Hua Yanluo and the others exchanged glances. "He really intends to refine the Spirit Puppet! It’s a pity I haven’t fully learned the refining method for the Demon Prison Cage; there are still many unclear aspects. I was planning to seek advice from Mr. Mu. It seems I’ll have to wait here for over twenty days until Mr. Mu finishes refining before I can continue to seek his counsel!"
Xiao Ying’er sighed slightly, sitting on a white carpet at another cave entrance, continuing to read the Demon-Capturing Array Secret Manual.
Beside her, the maid Xiao Qing took out some fresh fruits from the Ghost Frog Pouch, washed them with some fresh water, and cleaned them with a white handkerchief before placing them on a jade plate. She brought it near Third Princess Xiao Ying’er. "Princess, these Cloud Mist Fruits are chilled with ice and very refreshing."
Xiao Ying’er nodded slightly, casually picking up a Cloud Mist Fruit. The maid Xiao Qing blinked and asked, "Third Princess, will Mr. Mu succeed in refining the Spirit Puppet? Will he suffer backlash?"
Xiao Ying’er glanced at her. "Mr. Mu can even refine treasures like the Demon Prison Cage. His talent is exceptionally strong. If he wasn’t confident, how could he risk his life to refine a late-stage seventh-tier demon?"
The maid Xiao Qing said, "The Third Princess seems to respect Mr. Mu more and more!"
Xiao Ying’er closed the Demon Capturing Manual in her hand and sighed. "I have been studying this Demon Capturing Manual, the Demon Capturing Array, and the refining method for the Demon Prison Cage for over twenty days! As I grasp more of the manual’s content, I increasingly feel the difficulty of this Demon Capturing Array!
"Not to mention anything else, just the incredibly intricate runes, the various precautions for drawing them, their sequence, the importance of each stroke’s weight and speed, and so on—memorizing everything is an extremely taxing task. It would likely require several years of diligent study and practice to remember it all!
"When you add in refining the Profound Truth Jade Particles for the Demon Prison Cage, inscribing the Profound Truth Jade Inscriptions, and inscribing the Inscriptions on the Profound Iron Cage... it’s simply beyond human capability!
"Even if I master the refining method for the Demon Prison Cage... to refine a seventh-tier Demon Prison Cage, I’d probably need to travel to the Central Divine Dynasty and request help from the Artifact Refiners and Array Masters there!
"Yet Mr. Mu can independently refine such a seventh-tier Demon Prison Cage. How could I not revere, how could I not admire such a unique genius!
"Mr. Mu’s talent in Artifact Refining and Arrays truly makes him the unparalleled number one among the countless Artifact Refiners of the Great Xia Dynasty, far superior to me, the so-called foremost prodigy!"
Speaking, the Celestial Sect Saintess’s eyes held much emotion. She had always been extremely confident about her talents in various aspects.
From childhood to adulthood, whether in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, Martial Dao cultivation, or Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Spirit Puppet techniques, Beast Taming, and so on, she had never seen anyone around her with talents surpassing her own!
As the Third Princess and Celestial Sect Saintess, she had interacted with all the ’top talents’ of the Great Xia Dynasty. Each was a genius among geniuses, an extraordinary talent among extraordinary talents. Yet, even so, she had never met anyone whose talents exceeded her own!
