Yellow Court Daoist

Chapter 34 - 34 Auction

"Crafting a puppet out of thin air is extremely difficult; even an ordinary human-sized puppet is no easy feat."

"If only there was a puppet I could dismantle and study at will, it perhaps would offer significant help."

After the ninth failed attempt, Lu Qingfeng approached Mu Yuanyi, asking him to purchase two low-level puppets from the Spirit Mechanism Institute.

Mu Yuanyi agreed in one breath.

However, the Spirit Mechanism Institute was currently operating at full capacity, fighting to extinguish beast tides one after another under the command of the Hundred Skill Sect, and dealing with the hidden masters of the Ghost Spirit Sect. Every disciple was in danger, and puppets, being a part of their strengths, would certainly not be easily sold off.

Whether he could secure a purchase, Mu Yuanyi couldn't guarantee.

"This Ghost Spirit Sect!"

After hearing this, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but feel more antipathy towards the Ghost Spirit Sect.

During peaceful times, it would've been a breeze to request two low-level puppets with Mu Yuanyi's connections.

But now, it had become difficult.

Furthermore, even if they could be purchased, the price would be several times higher than usual.

No wonder Lu Qingfeng was disgruntled with the Ghost Spirit Sect.

In desperation, with no puppet samples to be found for the time being, and surely not being allowed to dismantle the puppets within the Yuan Yi Guild for casual re

Lu Qingfeng and the higher-ups of the Yuan Yi Guild entered the third layer.

On the same layer as them were the seven longstanding Guilds of Sishui Town, the top-ranking Guilds from Ping Mountain Town, and disciples from the Spirit Mechanism Institute.

The second layer housed emerging Guilds from the two towns over the past few years and nearby Loose Cultivators with some renown.

The first layer was for Loose Cultivators without any background.

Lu Qingfeng looked down at the first layer and saw that in a short time, hundreds of Loose Cultivators had already arrived, provoking his curiosity, "Are there so many Loose Cultivators around Sishui Town?"

He didn't travel often, and truly wasn't familiar with these circumstances.

"Of course there are."

"Ever since the Spirit Mechanism Institute occupied the three hundred miles of Cui Ping Mountain, and as Sishui and Ping Mountain Towns gradually took shape, the accumulation of nearby Loose Cultivators has shown an upward trend. After the establishment of the major Guilds, the proliferation of Cultivation Techniques due to the rise and fall of the Guilds has led to an explosion in the number of Loose Cultivators, resulting in the scale we see today," Mu Yuanyi explained on the side.

Among these Loose Cultivators, if one or two manage to succeed and establish a family clan. If they can fortuitously pass on their legacy, they become the embryonic form of a Cultivation Family.

Besides this origin, Cultivation Families may also stem from disciples of the Spirit Mechanism Institute who start families and support their descendants in entering the path of cultivation. Over time, they might also form a family lineage tied by blood.

The Spirit Mechanism Institute has been established for a short duration, and Cultivation Families have yet to emerge.

However, within the Hundred Skill Sect, there are many Cultivation Families that exist on the fringe of the sect's inner and outer circles.

Similar Cultivation Families are also located in cities like Mushan City. The strength of these Cultivation Families is often not formidable, and although they may have many descendants, the ones who can truly embark on the path of cultivation and achieve the status of a Foundation Establishment Practitioner are very few.

"So that's how it is."

Listening to the explanations and elaborations from Mu Yuanyi, Wang Tao, and others, Lu Qingfeng gained a deeper understanding of this world and integrated even more into it.
