Chapter 143: First Encounter with Fu Gui
"What's a Fu Gui? What is this thing?" Lin Feng was shocked. He had never heard of such a thing, this cold and icy guy... Could it still be used to attack?
"Haha! This is a puppet of the ancient symbol master!" Old Zhuang laughed, "This is also a secret technique of the strong ancient symbol path. The symbol array is carved on the puppet to absorb the energy of heaven and earth for the puppet."
"Such puppets are not only capable of attacking, but their power is also extremely terrifying! As long as their symbol arrays are intact, their energy can be said to be infinite. Moreover, as long as the materials are sufficiently sturdy, their defensive capabilities are also astonishingly strong; unless one breaks the symbol array inside their bodies, it's fundamentally impossible to defeat them."
Lin Feng looked at the icy statue behind the crystal and also took a deep breath.
Indeed, a guy like that, if he really has the attacking power of Tiger Shape Fist's seventh layer, would absolutely be more powerful than same-level strong people.
Because he doesn't need to defend at all, and the energy of his attack is infinite.
But this price...
Lin Feng shook his head. Now he had to spend all his family's property just to buy one.
This money was used to buy beast blood, and it can't be wasted like this.
And it's also unnecessary, a seventh-rank puppet of Tiger Shape Fist, can't provide much help to him at present.
Lin Feng looked at them one by one along the wall. The weakest among them was a first-class talisman, which cost 5 million gold coins. There were four second-class talismans, and their prices had reached an exaggerated 50 million gold coins. And the only third-class talisman was even more outrageous, with a price of 500 million gold coins!
Five hundred million gold coins, it's impossible for the entire Luoyun Sect to have that many gold coins! Lin Feng thought.
Second-level puppet, attack power equivalent to the eighth heavy tiger-shaped fist strongman. Third-level puppet, attack power equivalent to the ninth heavy tiger-shaped fist strongman.
The strong of the 9th rank of Tiger Form Fist, Yunyun Sect naturally has a lot. Even in the Elder Council, it is said that there are many warriors. And 500 million gold coins can only buy a third-level puppet equivalent to a strong man of the 9th rank of Tiger Form Fist, so much money can cultivate a large number of strong men of the 9th rank of Tiger Form Fist.
The price of this kind of thing is indeed outrageous, no wonder many people are watching but nobody buys it!
Zhuang Lao smiled and said, "Such a heaven-defying item is originally a luxury. Moreover, the craftsmanship has long been lost, so if one is damaged, there will be one less. The price being high is only natural. However, there are still people who buy these things. On the mainland, those true powers' sons or sects' elite disciples often bring such items as guards when they go out to train before becoming strong."
However, in ancient times, such things were extremely common. For example, the founder of your Cloud Peak Sect, Cloud Peak Upper Person, was said to have had a large army composed of tens of thousands of martial artist-level puppet warriors!
"Impossible!" Lin Feng was speechless, "A Wu Zhe level Symbol Puppet army?"
The power of the martial artist, Lin Feng had already witnessed it. Qin Hao's move on the snowy plain outside Linjing City was really too frightening. And an army composed of tens of thousands of strong martial artists...
"That's just a game for the people on Cloud Top, but he is a real divine symbol master. With a stroke of his brush, he can move mountains and fill seas, and doesn't need the protection of the symbol puppets at all. However, it's precisely because of the existence of this army of symbol puppets that the old guys from the Symbol Master Guild have been searching for his tomb all along. Think about it, if you could really get your hands on such an army of symbol puppets, what a terrifying power that would be?"
"With such a force, if placed in the present, it would probably be able to sweep across the entire Xuanwu Continent!" Lin Feng sighed.
"It's almost there." said Old Zhuang.
Lin Feng looked at the only third-grade puppet.
It was a young man with an almost lifelike face, his eyes slightly moving, as if he had some spiritual intelligence. If it weren't for the nameplate, Lin Feng would have really thought he was a living person.
Zhuang Lao also sighed, "The means of the ancient symbol masters are truly unpredictable. Even a first-level puppet, the complexity of the symbol array is something that our generation cannot understand, let alone draw! Moreover, the stronger the puppet, the more agile it becomes, and its appearance is closer to that of a real person. Some puppets can even confuse reality, such puppets are the best among puppets, known as heavenly puppets."
Lin Feng said: "I think this is almost indistinguishable from reality."
Zhuang Lao laughed and said, "This is still far from it! A true Tianji would appear right in front of you and you wouldn't even be able to tell. It's said that Tianji was first created by a divine symbol master named Gong Shu Ban, who used various mysterious materials combined with the flesh and blood of powerful alien beasts to create this Tianji."
Zhuang Lao said, his voice suddenly becoming cheap and sarcastic: "It's said that Gong Shu Ban had a sworn enemy, extremely powerful, and although Gong Shu Ban was a divine symbol master, he couldn't defeat him. Later, he created the Heavenly Puppet, transforming into a woman his enemy liked, and arrived at his enemy's residence. What do you think happened? His enemy was having fun with the Heavenly Puppet when it suddenly struck out and killed him! A strong man capable of moving mountains and filling seas actually died under the belly of a puppet, haha!"
Lin Feng snorted and said, "Old Man Zhuang, you're really going overboard! You actually believe in such a thing? I think you're interested in the story itself!"
Zhuang Lao chuckled and said, "You wouldn't believe it, but I've seen a Tian Jue before, and I even had one myself. Although it wasn't as exaggerated, it was almost indistinguishable from the real thing! Some of these Tian Jue can even freely change their height and appearance, making it difficult for even close relatives to tell them apart! Such a Tian Jue is also known as the Hundred Transformations Tian Jue."
"Your old self has such a puppet? Where is it?" Lin Feng's eyes flashed and he hastily asked.
"You little stinker, my body was blown to smithereens, so of course I don't have that treasure on me anymore!" Old Man Zhuang chuckled and said, "However, even though the Tian Jie is gone, I still have some wealth left. A third-level puppet like the one in front of you, if I wanted to, I could easily find ten or eight more just like it."
"Ten or eight? That's not a small number either!" Lin Feng burst out laughing.
"Haha! You first bow down to me as your master, and I'll tell you where these treasures are hidden." Old Zhuang smiled again with a sly grin.
"Suit yourself!" Lin Feng also didn't hesitate.
Don't joke around, Lin Feng isn't a fool either. With Master Zong already being incredibly powerful and still ending up in this state, it's imaginable how powerful his arch-nemesis is. Once he becomes his disciple, he'll inevitably have to take on the responsibility of helping him exact revenge.
Lin Feng no longer has such grand ambitions, nor does he expect to stir up a storm on the mainland. He is just a small talent from a remote place, how vast is the Xuanwu Continent? He dare not think that he is the one with the strongest innate talent and luck.
His current dream is to have the strength to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Yezi as soon as possible, and as a strong man, stand in front of her.
A bit further away, it's just helping Luoyun Sect sweep the south of Tiannan and then rush out of Tiannan to destroy Badaomen.
But this dream has become somewhat distant now. In Lin Feng's view, it cannot be completed in thirty or fifty years.
As for facing an even stronger opponent than Bi Zhuang? He didn't want to bring a catastrophic disaster to the Lu Yun Sect.
"You little scamp!" Old Zhuang snorted in disgust.
Lin Feng took another look at the talisman.
"Five hundred million gold coins!"
500 million gold coins, enough to pile up a small mountain. With so many gold coins, it's estimated that they can buy the killer to destroy the Kun Jade Sect. But with so many gold coins, only one third-level Tiger Fist Ninth Heavy Symbol Puppet can be bought. This kind of symbol puppet is indeed not something ordinary people can play with.
Lin Feng left the small shop selling talismans and went to another room in the corridor.
Most of what's sold here is the blood of exotic beasts, and some rare decorative items, such as the horns of a Starlight Unicorn.
The shops here sell all kinds of exotic beast blood, and the quantity is also sufficient. However, from the customers' discussions, Lin Feng also knew that the prices here are much higher than buying directly from the small teams that hunt exotic beasts. Lin Feng also saw some small teams hunting exotic beasts did not look for customers outside, but instead sold the beast blood directly to the shops here.
Lin Feng walked around the corridor, strolling through all the shops. In his mind, he quietly calculated that almost all the blood of exotic beasts needed to forge the Xuanwu Heavy Armor set could be found here, and his gold coins could buy a considerable amount.
However, he didn't really make a move to buy it. After all, he had just arrived in Beast Town today and his understanding of this place was extremely limited.
Ye Lü and several other young men were still lying on the railing of the arena, shouting hoarsely at the bloody battle below. Lin Feng didn't call out to him again, but instead went straight down the stairs and back onto the ground.
Looking around at the ordinary residential buildings, Lin Feng shook his head. If he hadn't run into Ye Lvgreen, it wouldn't have been easy to find this place.
Here, underground and above ground are completely two different worlds. The true importance of Wan Shou Town lies underground.
Lin Feng returned to the Hei Zijing Inn along the original road, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a gentle and beautiful woman in a corner of the hall.
The woman saw Lin Feng enter and raised her wine cup in front of her, smiling at him.
Those who can drink a thousand gold coins in one cup of Jinpai Mountain Spring wine are naturally not ordinary people, and Lin Feng also dares not to slack off.
Lin Feng smiled back at the woman and then walked up the stairs.
Back in his room, Lin Feng closed the door and took out his symbol pen, starting to practice his Void technique.
What he saw today undoubtedly broadened his horizons. As for the world outside of Tianshan Mountains, Lin Feng also gained some understanding.
Undoubtedly it was a more wonderful world!
However--
That world was still undoubtedly too far away for Lin Feng. The excitement there had nothing to do with him.
All he needs to do is to enhance his own strength, help Luoyun Sect and protect that purple-clothed girl.
…………
Lin Feng walked upstairs for a while, outside the small town, a gentle and beautiful girl came walking.
Her bright and clear eyes are paired with a delicate and tender beautiful face, making people naturally feel a sense of pity.
This girl was none other than Liu Qingwu!
Her appearance made the whole town seem to light up. The rooms on both sides cast a gaze, and countless men swallowed their saliva in this moment.
Liu Qingwu was apparently not the first time here, she walked straight into the Black Purple Rose Hotel, saw that beautiful woman, Liu Qingwu's face showed a sincere smile.
In this world, only this woman can make her feel warmth in her heart.
"Master!" Liu Qingwu happily walked up to the woman's side and respectfully called out.
"Good child, you've come!" The woman looked at Liu Qingwu with affection, as if she were looking at her own daughter.
