Chapter 199: Refining Puppet Beast
In the early years, the Wang family's situation was not good, and many of the family's monks would go out to look for ways to earn spiritual stones. After Wang Hao appeared, the Wang family's finances gradually improved. The family's monks began to run out, so how could they be sent abroad?
The two of them stared at the rough stone, the light in their eyes burning, and secretly thought in their hearts that the decision to eliminate the Tang family was the right one. Being weak in the world of immortal cultivators is the original sin. Everyone in the demon cultivator shouted for beatings, but there were no Nascent Soul demon cultivators. Why didn't anyone see them? wipe out?
The Tang family's mistake was that they should not have treasures that did not match their own strength.
After the two of them were less excited, Wang Hao said: "Our problem now is how to mine these spiritual stones. After all, it is difficult for the family to send too many monks here. If a large number of mortals are used, supplies will need to be transported from time to time. I’m afraid it will be noticed by interested people!”
The example of the Tang family is right in front of us. If the Qingyuan Clan or other families that are more powerful than the Wang family discover it, the Wang family will not be able to escape the disaster of annihilation.
The joy in Wang Yanzhao's eyes faded and he sighed: "Yes, there are few people, the output is too low, and there are too many people and it is easy to be exposed!"
Wang Longyou smiled, looked at Wang Hao and said, "The key to this problem is still with you!"
"Me? Foundation-building monks have deep magic power, and mining is much easier, but you can't let me, a foundation-building monk, mine here!" At the end of the sentence, Wang Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had many ways to earn spiritual stones, so why bother? It’s a waste of time to practice and mine!
Wang Longyou shook his head: "You are wrong. I am talking about your skills in refining puppets. We can completely use puppets to mine instead of monks. This way we only need a small number of monks to look after this place!"
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that puppets were indeed capable of doing this kind of work. The power of puppets was much greater than that of Qi-training monks, so it was just right for them to mine.
Like the ape puppet, it also has limbs and fingers that can be flexibly grasped. As long as it is controlled by a monk, it can perform some simple digging work without any problem.
The spiritual consciousness of a Qi-training monk can control up to five puppets. In this way, the Wang family only needs to send a dozen monks to achieve the digging efficiency of more than fifty monks.
"But it will probably take me several years to refine so many puppets by myself!" Wang Hao couldn't help but frown. The puppets used for mining must be strong and flexible. He didn't refine many puppets before, but most of them were... It is used by the Qi training monks in the clan.
Refining a puppet is not simple, it is much more complicated than refining a weapon. It requires selecting materials, prefabricating, carving, inscribing runes, and finally assembling it. Only after the essence is absorbed can it become a moving puppet.
In fact, the time for the next few steps is okay, not too long, it is mainly the prefabrication stage.
For example, if you want to make a bookshelf, you can't just take a few pieces of wood and nail it together.
Wet wood cannot be made. Suitable wood needs to be decomposed into wood. The wood must be dried in the shade for one or two years before it can be processed. Otherwise, it is likely to crack and deform during use.
Most of the components of the puppet are also made of wood, which also has this problem.
Even Wang Hao's farm can continuously produce Yinzi pine as raw material for refining puppets, but processing and prefabrication also takes a long time.
If Wang Hao hadn't obtained some materials from the Huang Family and the Alchemy Sect, he would have been unable to hold on!
"Don't worry about this. The number of puppets can be increased slowly. We don't want to dig out on a large scale from the beginning. We have to wait until the turmoil on the Tang family has passed and observe the situation. Wen Hao can choose more useful ones from the family. The talented juniors, train them, so that your work will be lighter!"
"This is the only thing we can do." Wang Hao didn't want to do this job in his heart, but he was the only one in the Wang family who could do it. As for training clan members, it would probably take longer. He could only rely on the original apprentices, but They can only make first-order mid-grade puppets, and the mining efficiency is too low. They need at least first-order high-grade puppets or second-order low-grade puppets.
The refining materials for second-level low-grade puppets are precious and uneconomical to use for mining. The first-level high-grade puppets are mainly used.
Wang Hao decided to give the three tribesmen intensive training for a period of time when he returned to the family. Not to mention being able to make first-class high-grade puppets by himself, as long as he could prefabricate raw materials and make some components, he could help Wang Hao share most of the time-consuming work. .
The three of them carefully checked the surrounding situation, used magic to block the easily discovered places, and then set up a concealment formation, allowing Wang Wenjiang and others to continue guarding.
"Let's go back quickly and select suitable tribesmen to come. In addition, we must collect materials for Wen Hao to make puppets!" Wang Yanzhao said, "In half a year, we will officially open the mine."
He took out a few bottles of pills, turned around and said to Wang Wenjiang and others: "The three of you will stay here for the time being. If anything happens, report it to the family immediately. The family will not treat you badly. Here are a few bottles of Huanglong Pills and some Bigu Pills." Dan, it’s enough for you for a year! Someone will replace you then!”
"Yes, Patriarch!" Several people bowed to accept the order. The spiritual energy here is rich. To be honest, practicing here is much better than practicing in the retreat room opened by the family for the clan members. Moreover, the pills Wang Yanzhao gave them already exceeded their two-year salary. Oh, how could they shirk such a good thing!
Time flies like water, and years fly by. Soon, half a year passed.
In a bright house, Wang Hao was making a first-order high-grade puppet. Three apprentices sat opposite, watching carefully. They looked extremely focused, for fear of missing something.
Half a year ago, Wang Hao asked them to retreat here and concentrate on refining puppets, and promised that whoever could refine a first-grade high-quality puppet first would be given a foundation-building pill.
This made the three people more serious, and their skills improved by leaps and bounds, but also much faster than usual.
The three people were named Wang Wenshui, Wang Wencai, and Wang Yanrong. Among them, Wang Wencai had the highest skills, and the success rate of refining first-grade medium-quality puppets had exceeded 50%, and he was trying to refine first-grade high-quality puppets.
The remaining two were slightly worse, and the success rate of refining first-grade medium-quality puppets was less than 30%, which was not enough for the material cost.
The Wang family had already invested thousands of spirit stones to train them.
The difficulty of cultivating immortal arts lies in the fact that a lot of materials are needed to practice in the initial stage, not to mention that puppetry is more difficult than alchemy and refining.
In the past six months, Wang Hao has improved his skills a lot after continuous teaching, and he can now steadily refine second-grade low-quality puppets. If the materials are sufficient, he can refine one in about ten days.
After Wang Hao injected a demon beast spirit into the core of the puppet beast, the monkey puppet in his hand moved its hands and feet. This first-grade superior powerful monkey puppet was successfully refined.
Looking at the three people, Wang Hao said: "Do you understand? If you don't understand, just ask, I will explain it to you in detail!"
Wang Wencai and others asked several questions one after another, and Wang Hao answered them one by one, trying to be as detailed as possible. At the key point, he took out the materials and refined them again so that the three people could see clearly.
There is no way. The talents of the three people are really limited. If they are not explained in this way, they will not be able to learn at all.
In the final analysis, there are only a few people in the Wang family. If there are tens of thousands of people in the family, they can always pick out a few with outstanding talents.
Until dark, Wang Hao was a little exhausted. The work of a teacher is really not something that ordinary people can do. This is not just a matter of patience.
"Let's stop here today. You should practice seriously. Brains are useless. You have to do it. The family has provided you with so many materials. Don't let the family down!"
"Yes, elder, we will definitely study hard!" The three answered in unison.
He is a little stupid, but at least he has a good attitude. Wang Hao shook his head, walked out of the room, leaving the three to continue practicing.
