: Refining Huangpizi Essence!

Chapter 94: Refining Huangpizi Essence!

"Big brother, we killed a total of 1763 lantern ghosts last night!"

Shen Kun and his group quickly collected the Yin Soul Wood.

Shen Yi placed his hand on it and collected all the Yin Soul Wood.

He looked at the devastated land with a touch of melancholy, and murmured, "This is the last of the Lantern Ghost's reserves."

""

After that, if they wanted to obtain a large number of lantern ghosts again, they would have to find another way.

Fortunately, this lantern ghost nest can continue to produce lantern ghosts, allowing him to harvest resources periodically.

The Lantern Ghost clan, which had ravaged this area for many years, has finally come to an end.

After that, this place became a monster resource point that he had occupied in his territory!

Shen Yi had to come up with a way to seal off this place, making sure that no lantern ghost could escape.

After thinking about it, he still felt it would be better to build a wall around the area.

Based on the size of the lantern ghost's lair and the range of the lantern ghost's activities.

Shen Yi quickly determined the extent of the wall.

The wall is built against the mountainside in an arc shape, encompassing this 300-square-meter area.

He then created a level 1 wooden golem and placed it near the wall, not too close to the lair.

Otherwise, if they get too close, the vines in the nest will block the entrance again, preventing the lantern ghost from getting out smoothly.

After that, all he needed to do was add one new item to the hunting teams that came out to work every day.

Tell them to take the Yin Soul Wood from the lantern ghosts that died here on their way back and bring it back to him.

"I just wonder how many lantern ghosts this lantern ghost nest will produce for me every day from now on."

Shen Yi's eyes fell into deep thought.

If the quantity is too small, his various creation upgrade plans will have to be delayed.

However, there were some gains at all.

While the upgrade project has slowed down, the safety of this area has been greatly improved.

They can focus on developing their own strength.

Shen Yi learned from Mo Guanhai that there was someone in Yanling Village who had broken through the shackles of the Qi and Blood Realm.

Later, we can find an opportunity to visit them. If they can also quickly cultivate someone who has broken through the shackles of the Qi and Blood Realm, then they will be able to fight even against second-tier monsters.

"Let's go back."

Shen Yi collected all the spoils.

The total harvest was 7179 pieces of Yin Soul Wood, obtained from the 1763 pieces of Yin Soul Wood from the Lantern Ghost alone, and the 5366 pieces collected from the dismantling of the seven Lantern Ghost corpses!

Among them, the leader of the Lantern Ghosts provided him with 1189 pieces of Yin Soul Wood!

Its companion, the Lantern Ghost, also decomposed into 897 pieces of Yin Soul Wood.

The other five lantern-bearing ghost corpses yielded only six or seven hundred pieces of material.

Shen Yi was filled with anticipation for the two essences of the Lantern Ghost Leader and its companion.

Based on the amount of Yin Soul Wood collected, these two Lantern Ghosts are the strongest.

Their essence quality is naturally also excellent.

On the way back, Shen Yi checked the durability of the five level 4 wooden puppet soldiers.

[Durability: 54], [Durability: 61], [Durability: 77], [Durability: 32], [Durability:

79】

The wooden puppet soldier, with a durability of only 32, has a deep knife wound on its chest and arm, and its surface is also covered with dents and cracks.

In addition to the attack from the Lantern Demon, this wooden puppet was also attacked by two other puppets of the same kind, so its durability dropped very low.

In addition to the physical damage, their wooden swords also have many chips and dulling.

The wooden golems showed no regard for their own safety; every attack they made on the monster was delivered with all their might.

Even if the target's defenses are extremely strong, enough to break their wooden swords, they will not stop attacking.

The body of the Lantern Ghost is mostly made of Yin Soul Wood, which is as hard as iron.

The wooden puppet soldiers, however, managed to cut their bodies in half, causing considerable damage to the blades of the wooden puppet swords.

However, it can still continue to be effective; a dull knife is no problem, great force can produce miracles.

Upgrade them to level 5; each one requires 2000 Soul Wood.

Shen Yi glanced at his current collection list. Including the cost of crafting the wall and a level 1 wooden puppet, the current amount of Yin Soul Wood was 15824.

If you upgrade them all to level 5, that definitely won't be enough.

"You'll have to endure this for now. Once I'm rich and powerful, I'll definitely be the first to upgrade you!"

Shen Yi's wooden house has already reached level 8, so naturally resources should be concentrated on upgrading it first.

Use the remaining Yin Soul Wood to upgrade one more wooden puppet soldier.

The other wooden puppets can only be put on hold for now.

There are also many other creations waiting to be upgraded, such as wells, bloodthirsty wooden dummies, chicken coops, vegetable gardens, and warehouses.

"Depend on!"

"I must collect more Soul Wood as soon as possible! My desire to upgrade my creation is too strong!"

Mo Guanhai and his men had been anxiously waiting in their territory all night.

As dawn broke, Huang Dahu and his companions hurriedly left their territory. He urged Mo Guanhai to lead the way to the location of the Lantern Ghost's lair.

After walking eight or nine miles, they finally saw Shen Yi and his group of four come into view.

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

-

With an excited smile, Huang Dahu rushed forward to greet him.

"Boss! How did things go for you guys last night? Are you alright?"

"fine."

Shen Yi glanced at them; Liao Ning, Wang Shaohui, and the other five members of the hunting team had arrived.

Mo Guanhai was also in there.

"Ah Yi, it's good that you're all safe and sound. That lantern ghost's lair—"

"We've already taken them out; there were seven lantern-bearing ghosts inside."

Before Mo Guanhai could finish speaking, Shen Yi said with a smile.

What!

Seven-headed Lantern Demon!

Mo Guanhai's eyes widened, and Liao Ning and the others also looked incredulous.

They all knew something about the Lantern Ghost.

It is said that Yanling Village had previously encountered a lantern-carrying ghost.

It took four or five martial artists at the late stage of Qi and Blood Realm to finally kill him!

And now, Shen Yi and his three companions have wiped out the lair of a monster with seven lantern-bearing demons in just one night!?

Their strength is simply terrifying.

"Boss, you guys are amazing!" Huang Dahu couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

"It's good that you're here. There's no need to make another trip later. Come with me. From now on, you'll have a new task every day."

Shen Yi smiled and led them back to the location of the Lantern Ghost's lair.

"You've built a wall here so quickly?"

Looking at the wall that enclosed a 300-square-meter area in front of him, Mo Guanhai exclaimed in surprise.

"It's just a method of activating wood passed down through the wooden puppet tradition."

Shen Yi waved his hand.

Mo Guanhai's lips twitched. "You brat, just what level of wooden puppet inheritance did you obtain? You actually have so many tricks up your sleeve."

"I don't know, but as long as I'm here, I can protect my people, and everyone can live safely in this world, without going hungry, and live in peace and prosperity," Shen Yi said calmly.

A complex look flashed across Mo Guanhai's eyes.

Looking at the tall, upright young man beside him with his hands behind his back, he suddenly felt a sense of peace and submission emanating from the other man, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

He had only ever seen this feeling in the city lord back then.

At that time, he was just a child in the crowd, looking up at the city lord's majestic figure from afar, which left an indelible impression on his mind.

"You little rascal—I'm relieved, I'm relieved, hahahaha!"

Mo Guanhai suddenly burst into laughter.

Shen Yi turned around and gave him a strange look.

What are you so worried about, old man?

"I have set up a wooden puppet soldier here. All you need to do is come here once a day, take out the Yin Soul Wood from the lantern ghosts it kills, and bring it back to me."

Shen Yi gave instructions to Liao Ning and the others.

"Boss, we understand!"

"Okay, good to know. Go back now."

Much later.

The group returned to their territory.

Many villagers were waiting, and when they saw Shen Yi return, they felt reassured and gathered around to greet him with concern.

Upon learning that Shen Yi had destroyed the Lantern Ghost's lair on Black Mountain, everyone's emotions were immediately ignited, filled with excitement.

It took me a while to calm down and then go about my business with a joyful heart.

Shen Yi returned to the courtyard.

"Ayi, you didn't see the way the villagers were worshipping you just now. They were absolutely fanatical."

After putting her things away, Guan Yue smiled and said.

"After all, the villagers have been on guard against the lantern ghost every night for more than sixty years. Ah Yi solved the biggest hidden danger in everyone's hearts, so naturally he will be sought after and respected by the villagers."

Mo Guanhai said with emotion.

Those martial artists who were at the late stage of the Qi and Blood Realm back then didn't dare to even entertain the slightest thought about the monster's lair.

Shen Yi's actions have surpassed their understanding back then.

"I'll go cook. Please have a seat."

Then she turned and went into the kitchen.

Guan Yue has a wealth of life experience and is able to take good care of the three siblings.

With the help of the blazing stove, a pot of monster meat was quickly stewed.

She didn't forget to prepare a pot for Huang Dahu and his hunting team as well.

"Ah Yi, after you killed the Lantern Demons, were you able to find a crystalline sphere inside one of them?"

Mo Guanhai recalled that some lantern ghosts, after a long period of time, would condense their essence within their bodies.

He asked Shen Yi thoughtfully.

"Yes, there are five."

Shen Yi nodded, took out the five Lantern Ghost Essence he had just obtained, and placed them on the table for everyone to see.

Five!?

Mo Guanhai was overjoyed.

He stared intently at the five lantern ghosts on the table, his gaze fixed on them.

When Wang Shaohui and the others saw him like this, they couldn't help but feel curious.

"Uncle Guanhai, is there anything strange about these spheres?"

"Of course! Its value is extremely high!"

"We tried everything to obtain a single essence back then, but we still failed!"

Mo Guanhai suppressed his excitement, raised his head, looked at everyone, and said solemnly, "This thing is called Essence, which contains a pure energy that has a chance to help martial artists break through the shackles of the Qi and Blood Realm!"

This statement came out.

Shen Yi's expression shifted.

He had originally planned to go to Yanling Village to ask their village chief for tips on breaking through the shackles of the Qi and Blood Realm.

Unexpectedly, I learned this information from Mo Guanhai.

His mind immediately started working.

Given the amount of Soul-Nourishing Wood he currently possesses, there are definitely a few essences that he cannot refine.

Then it will be just right to use it to cultivate a few martial artists who have broken through the shackles of the Qi and Blood Realm!

First of all, his younger brother A-Kun and younger sister Shen Yuan will definitely be included.

In addition, Guan Yue also needs to be considered.

In their territory, at least four martial artists can break through the shackles of the Qi and Blood Realm!

"Whoosh—"

—"

Everyone stared at the essence and made a commotion.

Shen Kun and Shen Yuan smiled slightly, but did not say anything.

They knew that their elder brother had more than just these five Lantern Ghost Essences.

There are also the four that I obtained from the weasel and the first lantern ghost!

Mo Guanhai continued talking, looking at Shen Yi and saying, "With this essence, Shen Yi, you won't have to worry about resources to break through the shackles of the Qi and Blood Realm!"

"With these five essences to help you break through the barrier, your chances of successfully breaking free from your shackles will be extremely high!"

"That's fantastic! If our leader breaks through the shackles of the Qi and Blood Realm, won't our territory be on par with Rock Ridge Village?"

Huang Dahu exclaimed in delight.

Mo Guanhai shook his head and chuckled, "The comparison between powers isn't that simple. There are also factors like population, industry, and agriculture involved."

Commercial and other factors.

He then changed the subject, saying, "However, we do have plenty of resources per capita."

"If our top-tier forces can catch up later, even Yanling Village might want to pledge allegiance to us!"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Yi.

Shen Yi smiled and said, "Renyanling Village is a large and wealthy family. How could they possibly side with us? Don't overthink it."

He put away the five essences and instructed, "Eat your food, then go about your business later."

One surprise after another.

Everyone was still very upset.

After Wang Shaohui and his companions finished eating, they immediately packed their things and headed to Black Mountain to hunt monsters.

Mo Guanhai also got up and left.

The courtyard returned to peace.

"This batch of essence will only be used by a few of us; it won't be considered for others for the time being."

Shen Yi looked at Shen Kun and the others and said, "Strive to reach the ninth level of the Qi and Blood Realm as soon as possible, and break through the shackles of your realm with your essence!"

"Hehe, Big Brother is definitely the best to us."

Shen Yuan hugged his arm affectionately and smiled sweetly.

Shen Yi chuckled and playfully pinched her nose, then continued, "In a couple of days, let's go to Yanling Village."

"No problem, just let me know if you need anything, and I'll prepare in advance." Guan Yue nodded in agreement.

"Let's think about it after we wake up. We've been busy all night. Everyone, go wash up and go to bed."

Shen Yi told them to boil water for a bath.

He then took out the largest piece of yellow weasel essence.

[The essence of a special spirit, the weasel, has been detected. Refine it?]

[Required refining materials: 2 Soul Nourishing Wood, 2 Yellow Weasel Spirit Blood, 1500 Yin Soul Wood!]

"Refine!"

Shen Yi did not hesitate at all.

"Immediately, this essence of the yellow weasel was put into the core of folk customs."

The lowest grade of materials was selected for refining!

[You have used the lowest required materials to refine the essence of the special monster, the Weasel, but the attempt has failed!]

[103 Energy Points Returned!]

[Note: Energy points can be used to unlock the maximum number of talent slots that can be equipped, and can also be used to replace any material for upgrades.]

The energy consumed in manufacturing will depend on the quality of the materials.

[Unlocking the current maximum number of equippable talent slots requires 100 Energy. Unlock now?]

Shen Yi's lips twitched.

The refining process failed!?
