C73

Within a room in the Immortal Yang Spiritual Academy.

Cang Yun sat cross-legged on the ground. In front of him, a Spiritual Beast egg was emitting a faint life energy. Although this fluctuation was not very strong, there was a faint aura of tenacity within it.

"This Purple Gold Wild Egg must have absorbed too much of the Blood Origin Fruit's energy and was unable to digest it completely. Instead, it had suppressed its life force, which was why it was so weak."

Cang Yun caressed the smooth eggshell with both hands as a thought flashed across his mind. After which, he muttered to himself.

In the next moment, a gentle source energy spread out from his palm and covered the surface of the eggshell. In an instant, the Purple Gold Wild Egg seemed to have sensed something and it shook a little. Then, a suction force suddenly arose and quickly absorbed the Origin Energy.

Origin Energy had an accelerating effect on spirit beasts, and by feeding their own source energy to the baby spirit beasts, the spirit beasts would become more intimate with their masters. This was the most commonly used beast taming method in the continent, but of course, this method would only have an effect on the extremely weak baby spirit beasts.

At the same time, based on how much Origin Energy the baby spirit animals had absorbed, they would be able to determine their potential.

"You little fellow …" "Don't let me down." After a slight pause, he could feel the restlessness and desire coming from the eggshell. Cang Yun once again slowly injected his Origin Energy, and his eyes revealed a warm look of anticipation.

Weng! *

As such, time flew by at high speed. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

At this moment, after he felt that the purple-gold boar had recovered its calmness, Cang Yun finally slowly withdrew his hand. A tired expression flashed across his face. However, a strange glint flashed within his eyes, along with a tinge of excitement.

"He absorbed all the Origin Energy in my body within an hour. Seems like the little fellow that is able to cause the energy in my Dantian to fluctuate is indeed extraordinary."

Cang Yun clicked his tongue in admiration. According to his knowledge, even if it was a infant spirit beast that had the potential to reach the Nihility God Stage, most of them wouldn't be able to eat that much, not to mention the fact that this Purple Gold Wild Egg was only born on the first day.

"If the egg is so extraordinary, there might be a surprise after it hatches."

Cang Yun smiled as this thought flashed across his mind. He then stored the Purple Gold Wild Egg into a specially prepared wooden case and kept it properly.

This kind of feeding method required quite a bit of time in order to hatch the purple gold egg. Normally, other than feeding it regularly, there was no need to pay too much attention.

"What I have to do next, is a troublesome project …"

In the next moment, Cang Yun sighed with emotion. After which, he waved his hand and a few items of different sizes were placed in front of him.

His body, soul, energy, everything was in place. He could finally start refining the Battle Puppet!

First step, inscribing the star array …

The star array was the key to refining battle puppets, because it decided the class of the battle puppets. They could only engrave nine star arrays, and each one was equivalent to the power of a martial artist's first layer secret treasure.

For example, five soul imprints could be used to create five star arrays, and the strength of the Battle Puppet refined was equivalent to a fifth layer Secret Treasure Cultivator, which was also the limit that Cang Yun could reach right now.

"First, the first star array …"

As he lightly mumbled to himself, Cang Yun waved his hand, and the body of a warrior in front of him was sucked into his body.

The sixth layer of the secret treasure, Kui Shan!

Originally, refining a puppet using human corpses was not a very moral thing to do, but when Kui Shan was alive, he committed many evil deeds and committed many crimes. Hence, using this person's corpse, Cang Yun did not feel much guilt.

Closing his eyes, he formed a seal with his hands. In the next moment, the Mental Energy in Cang Yun's mind gushed out like a tidal wave and silently entered into Kui Shan's corpse.

Relying on his perception, his spiritual force slowly entered his dantian, which had no ability to fluctuate. Next, he would carve out a star array, using the power of the star array to communicate with the source energy of the heaven and earth, thus allowing his dantian to recover its energy once again.

Cang Yun sat up straight and concentrated. The process of carving the first star array quickly flashed through his mind. After a long time, his mental force finally began to move.

Weng! *

In an instant, Cang Yun's Spiritual Force quickly gathered up, and as if transforming into a knife, he started inscribing within Kui Shan's Dantian.

This Star Formation was not a high-grade formation and thus did not have a high requirement for spiritual power. However, the runes contained within it were quite complicated. Completing it was clearly not an easy task.

Fortunately, Cang Yun had enough stamina.

As such, time slowly passed by in this boredom. Finally, four hours passed …

BOOM!

Suddenly, the dead corpse's dantian shook, and streams of Origin Energy slowly poured in as if it was being pulled, summoning a bit of life force in the dead silence.

"The first star array has finally been completed …"

As this thought flashed through Cang Yun's mind, he gently exhaled. However, he did not withdraw from the refining state. After pausing for a while, he continued to inscribe the second star array.

This second star array was clearly more complicated than the previous one. However, the difficulty didn't increase by much. In general, it was similar, except for some additional runes.

When he sensed this situation, Cang Yun did not have any worries in his heart. With his current Mental Energy strength at five Soul Seals, this level of consumption was indeed not too much trouble.

As for the shortening of the time, it was completely within his expectations. After all, most of the runes on the second star array were the same as the first one, and with the experience of the first one, the time needed to complete it was much shorter.

"The consumption is not too big, continue …"

After sensing the situation of the Mental Energy consumption, Cang Yun felt reassured in his heart and was prepared to go all out. After all, he had been anticipating this Battle Puppet for a long time and urgently wanted to experience it.

Third...

Fourth...

Fifth...

Ten hours passed like this, and finally, all five star arrays were completely engraved in the Dantian. At this moment, Cang Yun's face was filled with fatigue, after all, the further one went, the more difficult it was to inscribe star arrays, and that consumption was truly not small. In fact, at the final moment of the fifth star array's creation, he almost couldn't persevere, but fortunately, he would still be able to endure it with perseverance.

Weng! *

The moment the five star arrays were completed, the heaven and earth origin force shook once again. Then, like a tidal wave, it rushed towards Kui Shan's corpse. Gradually, a tyrannical aura began to spread throughout the area.

"To be able to raise an inanimate object to the fifth layer of the secret scripture cultivation, this Battle Puppet's refining method is truly extraordinary!"

An intense excitement flashed across Cang Yun's eyes as he sensed this fluctuation.

This first and most important step has finally been completed …
