Chapter 101 Heavy-duty Puppet
Qingfeng took the chisel magic weapon and smashed it against the blue stone wall in front of him.
"Snap!"
The outer layer of the stone wall shattered, and several spirit stones of varying sizes fell from the spot where it was hit.
"Top-grade, all top-grade spirit stones... It's pay-to-win!"
Qingfeng opened the green recharge system and recharged it with the spirit stones he had.
[Ding! Spirit Stones +3]
Seeing the numbers flashing on the panel, Qingfeng looked intently at the stone wall.
"How much would that cost?!"
He used to sell spirit herbs and monster materials, and went to great lengths to acquire spirit stones, but in the end, he only earned a few hundred thousand.
Right now, he can chisel out several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times more spirit stones than before, simply by moving his hands!
"The spiritual energy emanating from the spiritual vein behind this stone wall is even more concentrated than that of the fortieth level of the Sacred Mountain in Tianxing City. Even the cave dwelling of my Qingyang Sect cannot compare to this place."
Qingfeng took out the array plate and fully activated the outer spirit-sealing array, then activated the spirit-gathering array inward to gather all the spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual veins here.
As the formation was activated, Qingfeng felt a large amount of spiritual energy being absorbed into his body simply by circulating his cultivation technique.
"This place is rich in spiritual energy, and there are plenty of spirit stones. After I accelerate the growth of the spirit herbs and refine them into pills, I can cultivate here."
Qingfeng looked around.
This is truly a wonderful place for secluded meditation and spiritual practice.
The only problem is that it's too good; it could cause a lot of trouble.
"Cultivation can wait; our current goal is to mine as many spirit stones as possible here."
Qingfeng wielded his chisel magic weapon and began to chisel fiercely at the stone wall again.
Inside the stone wall, apart from the first layer which is pure spirit stone ore, the later layers contain silver sand mineral impurities mixed in with the spirit stone ore.
If it weren't for these impurities, Qingfeng wouldn't be doing hard labor here; he could just press down with both hands and recharge the entire mountain.
The clanging and banging of chisels echoed inside the mountain for three whole days.
Qingfeng wiped the hair from his forehead, looked at the pile of spirit stones at his feet, and his smile never stopped.
Thirty thousand, fifty thousand, eighty thousand...
He was chiseling and filling simultaneously, and the numbers on the system panel were jumping rapidly.
"No, this is too slow."
Three days passed, and he had only managed to carve in less than two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) deep. At this rate, how long would it take to hollow out the entire stone peak?
Qingfeng stopped chiseling and looked at the storage bag.
He had obtained the incomplete copy of "Qianzhu's Puppet Techniques" some years ago.
Previously, due to a shortage of spirit stones, I had been reluctant to conduct large-scale simulations.
Now...
He glanced at his recharge panel and a smile appeared on his lips.
"System, deduce the incomplete manuscript of 'Qianzhu Puppet Techniques'. Objective: Deduce the method for crafting puppets specifically for mining. No time limit."
He's rich now and can do whatever he wants, so he doesn't even specify a year.
[Beep! Estimated spirit stone consumption for this simulation: 20. Confirm?]
confirm.
Qingfeng didn't even blink.
[During the simulation... Year 1... Year 2... Year 10, you grasped the true essence of puppetry and developed your own insights...]
In the fifteenth year, you forged a new path, incorporating your understanding from your past life's memories into puppetry...
In your twentieth year, you successfully crafted your first heavy-duty puppet... Deduction complete!
[Ding! Obtained "Azure Maple Puppet Technique: Heavy Industry Chapter"]
A deluge of information flooded my mind.
Qingfeng closed his eyes to process the information for a moment, and when he opened them again, he had a look on his face that was both funny and exasperated.
This "Qingfeng Puppet Technique: Heavy Industry Chapter" is derived from the incomplete version of "Qianzhu Puppet Technique".
The prerequisite for puppetry is that the puppeteer needs to have a strong spiritual sense.
Qingfeng had already met this requirement, so there were no bottlenecks in the deduction process.
Announcement: Update coming soon, please stay tuned!
Combining this with some mechanical manufacturing knowledge from his previous life, the deduction process integrated the two.
Thus, it was deduced that "Qingfeng Puppet Technique: Heavy Industry Chapter" was created solely for mining.
"Since it's mining, there should be dedicated mining bots."
Qingfeng sat down cross-legged and took out his many storage bags.
These storage bags were full of materials, including materials from his father's treasure vault, the Xuan Bone legacy, and materials he collected in Tianxing City before setting sail.
Puppet crafting is divided into three main categories: low-level mechanical puppets, mid-level battle puppets, and high-level spirit puppets.
The core is materials + runes + mechanisms + souls + spiritual power drive.
"It's just a heavy-duty mining puppet, not a combat puppet. Ironwood, crystal wood, and copper are sufficient as the core materials."
First, build the skeleton, joints, and shell, then reserve the spiritual energy circulation channels.
The built-in spirit stone slot is equipped with spirit stones for power supply, and a small consciousness transmission array is used for divine sense connection and control.
Inscribe a soul-sealing talisman to seal the soul, then infuse it with the remnant soul of a demon beast.
Finally, the puppet's spiritual path was opened, and a high-grade spirit stone was installed to drive it...
Qingfeng refined each material into the desired shape.
Seven days later.
A puppet with two arms resembling the hooks of an excavator stood in front of Qingfeng.
This puppet is about ten feet tall and is entirely bluish-gray, which is very similar to the color of the surrounding rocks.
His arms had been specially modified, and instead of hands, they ended up as two silver chisel-shaped magical artifacts that shimmered with light—a simplified version of the chisel magic weapon.
"It's done."
Qingfeng examined his work and inserted a high-grade spirit stone into the groove on the puppet's chest.
The puppet's eyes glowed with a faint blue light.
"go."
With a thought, Qingfeng turned the puppet around and struck the stone wall.
"Click—"
A large piece of spirit stone was chiseled off along with its outer layer, a process that was a little slower than Qingfeng doing it himself.
Qingfeng smiled.
Although one machine is less efficient, as long as enough are produced, the mining efficiency will be many times faster than mining slowly by yourself.
"With this kind of spiritual energy consumption, one high-grade spirit stone would be enough for the puppet to run for more than ten years."
He was very satisfied with the heavy-duty ox and horse puppets.
Pick up the spirit stones that the puppet dug out and charge them into the system.
[Ding! Spirit Stones +5000]
"Okay! Continue!"
Qingfeng took out the materials and began refining again.
The second puppet took five days to make.
With two puppets, the digging speed doubled.
Qingfeng left the two puppets deep inside the mine to continue digging, while he retreated to the vicinity of the entrance to begin crafting the third, the fourth...
Three months later.
Inside the mine, twenty excavator puppets stood in neat rows.
The clanging and clattering of their chisels rose and fell in waves.
Large chunks of spirit stones were peeled off the stone wall and rolled to the ground. They were quickly picked up by another group of simple puppets specifically responsible for transporting them and piled up next to Qingfeng.
Qingfeng sat cross-legged in the pile of spirit stones, holding a high-grade spirit stone in his hand, and casually recharged it.
[Ding! Spirit Stones +1]
"Cool!"
Qingfeng looked at the fluctuating amount of spirit stones on the panel and a bright smile appeared on his face.
He still had a lot of low-level puppet materials and a considerable amount of low-level demonic beast essences.
Many more heavy-duty golems like these can be made.
"Tihun, you can't eat this demon beast's spirit now. I'll get you a delicious remnant spirit later."
Qingfeng rubbed Tihun's head, who was helping to install the puppet's limbs.
"Hehehe."
Tihun scratched his head and climbed onto Qingfeng's shoulder.
During the mining days, I can only talk to Tihun. As for that old man Xuangu, let's keep him locked up for a while longer.
