eted, which was quite surprising."Greetings, senior!"The young man paid his respects to the shopkeeper, then shifted his gaze and sized up Yun Youzi and Qin Sang. "Greetings, fellow Daoists," he said....When refining the Yuan Ying talisman puppets, it relies on demonic path soul refinement sorcery. From birth, they are inherently evil puppets.

Even a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator, unless they reach the realm of spiritual consciousness transformation, will be bitten by the soul essence within the Nascent Soul talisman puppet when manipulating it, causing damage to their primordial spirit.

At first, this damage was bearable. After a period of quiet meditation, the puppet master could slowly recover.

Compared to the power of a Yuan Ying cultivator, this price is insignificant.

Moreover, Shangyuan Qingjing Palace discovered another astonishing function of Fu Kui.

Because the materials left by that ancestor were scarce, later generations did not know whether it was due to the materials themselves, or whether a certain secret technique used during the refining of the Yuanying talisman puppet played a role, or perhaps these techniques merged, producing unknown changes.

All souls devoured by the Fu Kui will leave behind a soul shadow within its body, forever bound within it.

Disciples at the Golden Core stage can, through sensing the primordial infant soul shadow within, personally experience a hint of the strange changes of the Nascent Soul realm even during their Golden Core period.

The advantages are obvious, and it can greatly increase the probability of breaking through bottlenecks.

However, it's not easy to get this kind of experience.

A cultivator whose soul could devour even a nascent soul stage expert, how much more so a Jindan stage one.

>

If you are not careful, not only will you not benefit, but your entire soul will be devoured by the puppet, and you will never be reborn.

Not until the Daoist attained the Inner Scene Formula for refining the Golden Elixir at the Shangyuan Qingjing Palace was the true power of the Yuanying Fu Kui fully realized.

During that time, Yuanyuan Palace was very prosperous for a while, enjoying great fame and prestige.

The elderly man in the ground plotted against Xuan Yu Dao Chang, aiming for the Nei Jing Yuan Fu, because he had heard that the Nei Jing Yuan Fu of Shang Yuan Qing Jing Gong was helpful for knotting babies.

Actually, he misunderstood. The true way to help with infant binding is the Yuanying Fu Puppet, while the Neijing Yuanfu can only be used as a supplement.

However, the mental training of Neijing Yuanfu can be somewhat helpful in overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation. It's not entirely inaccurate to say so.

The true function of the Yuanshu lies in forming an inner landscape space within the Purple Mansion. The Yuanshen enters this inner landscape, providing a certain degree of protection.

To refine this talisman, a cultivator must begin the process when they first establish their foundation. It requires immense energy and cannot be interrupted for years. One must continuously nurture it with divine consciousness until they reach the peak of the Golden Core stage before it can be fully realized.

Such talismans can only be used by their master. When the master dies, the inner essence talisman will be destroyed along with them, and outsiders cannot take it.

Even if Qin Sang hadn't interfered that year, Di Que wouldn't have gotten the Inner View Yuan Fu.

The disciple of Shangyuan Qingjing Palace practiced refining the inner scene Yuanfu. When the secret talisman was complete, his own cultivation reached the peak of the Jindan period and he was about to face the Nascent Soul stage. It happened that under the protection of the secret talisman, he could enter the puppet experience.

Although the difficulty of refining the inner scene Yuan Fu was great, with the allure of the Nascent Soul stage ahead, disciples of Shangyuan Qingsheng Palace basically all held one at that time.

But, as time passed, things began to change.

Due to an unforeseen incident, the Yuanyuan Qingjing Palace's Yuan Ying vanished overnight. The situation rapidly deteriorated.

With the impending annihilation of their clan, a peak Golden Core disciple is tasked with a perilous mission. Facing a formidable enemy, they command their Nascent Soul puppet to engage in battle.

This battle was very fierce.

The disciple successfully manipulated the talisman puppet to repel the enemy, but he was horrified to discover that his nascent soul had been swallowed by the Nascent Soul talisman puppet for half, and it was impossible to recover.

His primordial spirit was incomplete. Even if he survived, he would forever lose the chance to form an infant soul.

If there were reincarnation in this world, it would probably be affected too.

Later, a new Yuan Ying Zu Shi appeared in Shangyuan Qingjing Palace. The situation of the school improved, but as the Yuan Ying Fu Kui consumed more and more souls, the price paid for each manipulation of the Yuan Ying Fu Kui increased.

Even Yuan Ying, the ancestor, found it hard to accept in the end.

The Shangyuan Qingjing Palace once had a late Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, whose divine sense took form. His cultivation was unparalleled in the Beichen Realm. He once wanted to refine the soul shadow of the Nascent Soul puppet and completely eliminate this hidden danger.

It was then that he realized Fu Kui's body was already bound by countless soul shadows, a million ghosts devouring souls. Even though he could barely manipulate the puppet, he couldn't refine those chaotic soul shadows without being harmed by their backlash. It was impossible.

Now, Fu Kui's body is even more chaotic.

The danger of experiencing the Yuan Ying Soul Shadow is growing.

Even today, disciples of Shangyuan Qingjing Palace, even those who have achieved the Inner Scene Yuanfu, dare not experience it. They can only bind the Nascent Infant Talisman Puppet to a high shelf and seal it away, using it to intimidate outsiders.

Only when the sect is in trouble will it be awakened.

Otherwise, how could Yuanyuan Qingsheng Palace have been unable to produce a single Yuan Ying for so long

As for the internal scene Yuan Fu, although its effects are unique, its allure is greatly diminished. Moreover, the refining process is lengthy and consumes a great deal of cultivation time. Only disciples with exceptional talent would choose to specialize in this secret scroll.

Throughout history, the masters of Shangyuan Qingjing Palace have always been chosen from among their carefully cultivated direct disciples. They are all kind and benevolent individuals, always ready to dedicate themselves to their sect.

The previous Palace Master, Tie Guanzi, was forced to use a Yuan Ying Fu Puppet once.

He staked everything on it, regarding the Purple Microcosm Palace as his last hope, only to meet his demise there.

Gong Liangyu brought out the Yuan Ying talisman puppet this time to help him find Xue Zhi Cao, he certainly wasn't giving up on the possibility of forming an infant soul.

What he relied on was the jade bi—the Dingling Bi.

The Dinglingbi was an ancient treasure he had stumbled upon by chance. It worked similarly to the Neijing Yuanfu, but its power far surpassed it. The only drawback was that it could only be used once.

Relying on this treasure to overcome the Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation should be foolproof, but he can't even pass the gathering of infants stage, how can he talk about the Heart Demon Tribulation

Gongliang Yu, in order to obtain the Xuezhi Cao, did not hesitate to use up the Dingling Bi.

But he was very uneasy in his heart, deeply afraid of the Yuan Ying Fu Kui, unsure if the Ding Ling Bi could protect him.

After all, even the Yuan Ying ancestor manipulating talisman puppets would have their primordial spirit devoured.

"Good baby! Good baby!"

Gong Liangyu was beaming with joy at this moment, his mouth filled with praise.

But it was a compliment to Ding Lingjue.

The strand of azure spiritual light that Ding Lingjue had sealed away was a mystery. It protected his primordial spirit fiercely, remaining unscathed even as the Yuying Talisman Puppet gnawed at it relentlessly.

The Yuan Ying puppet didn't receive any benefits and its eyes became increasingly frenzied.

>

Upon seeing this, Gong Liangyu knew time was of the essence. He had to find the Blood Chival before the wisp of azure spirit light dissipated. He dared not hesitate, muttered an incantation, and pointed at the blood river, “Go!”

The Yuan Ying puppet's sinister smile deepened, his expression clearly reluctant. But in the end, he obeyed Gong Liangyu's order and plunged straight into the Blood River.

"Phew..."

Gong Liangyu Changshu let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Being stared at by the crazed eyes of the puppet controlled by the Yuan Ying talisman, he felt a shiver of fear run down his spine.

This puppet is capable of fighting a cultivator at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, which is two levels higher than him. It's already quite difficult for it to not devour its master and allow itself to be controlled.

Unless he trusted the secret techniques passed down through his sect, Gong Liangyu would never dare to try them.

The Blood River is not blood water, but a thick blood mist.

"Pfft!"

The Yuan Ying puppet charged into the blood river.
