My magic weapons are all rule-based

"Battle Spirit Puppet, since there is such a magic weapon in the weapon refining line, why have I never heard of anyone using it?" Xu Shan asked.

He has experienced many battles, big and small.

In his concept, if something as cool and powerful as a mecha was made into a magic weapon, it would most likely become popular.

But until today, he had never seen such a product as the Immortal Spirit Puppet, and it was also an ancient product.

There must be a big problem here.

Wen Qi looked up to the sky and sighed, leaning on the spirit puppet: "This thing is too complicated and the cost is too high. The cost of making a foundation-building spirit puppet is enough to train ten foundation-building monks, and the same goes for golden elixirs."

"The most important thing is... there are very high requirements for the physical fitness and spiritual power level of the controller. A monk at the same level as the puppet can only last less than ten breaths when entering the battle with the puppet... But he can exert it The power is unsatisfactory, and it is difficult to even increase it exponentially. "

"That's not all. Repairs after battle damage are also very expensive... no one can afford it."

"The cost of spiritual puppets is extremely high, and they are not easy to use. They are not as good as other magic weapons in every aspect. We try our best to improve them, but we can't make much progress. We can't refine them, and we can't sell them. More than two thousand years ago, we only had Like other weapon-refining sects, we can refining ordinary magic weapons honestly, and even the ones we made before are dismantled and remade.”

Wen Qi slowly narrated: "Actually, our ancestors have long realized that this thing has no future, but he just couldn't give it in... He stepped into the art of weapon refining from spirit puppets. In his later years, he has been working hard to find the fragments of spirit puppets left by ancient times, and finally dared to confirm The true reason for this spirit puppet’s existence.”

"What's the reason?"

"A magic weapon like the spirit puppet should be a creation from the ancient catastrophe period. The purpose of its existence is not to be used by living people at all, but to be used by monks with only their remaining souls to fight to the death and exert their last remaining strength. "

"And the number is quite rare. The one in front of you should be the only intact spirit puppet left in the world."

Xu Shan nodded in agreement, knowing it in his heart.

If it is true as Wen Qi said, then it is normal not to see magic weapons such as spirit puppets on the market.

If you really use this thing, all things considered, not only will it not increase your combat power much, but it will actually be a huge burden.

If you don’t have the financial resources to buy it, why not buy more zombie puppets and war beasts to play with.

Throughout the entire history of the world of cultivation, spiritual puppets are a short-lived thing.

This situation is not difficult to understand. The research and development costs are huge and the speed is slow, so it is destined to be abandoned by the monks.

No matter how good the future development prospects of Lingou are, no one has the patience to cultivate and develop this industry.

Fundamentally, the ultimate goal of a monk is to ascend the great road himself, and no matter how good the magic weapon is, it is still an external object.

It is difficult to quickly see the bright future of magic weapons that are destined to be abandoned.

Increasing combat power is a means and only way to practice, not the purpose of practice.

Although there are too many people putting the cart before the horse on this path, in terms of the general trend, the world of cultivation is still focused on purpose.

This can be seen in figures such as Lie Jiuzhong and Nifa Emperor, who are at the level of ancient gods.

Whether they were practicing physical training or practicing magic, these two people had tempered their bodies to a state that transcended magical weapons.

Cardinal Valley has taken the wrong technical route from the beginning, so that even an ancient sect has not developed yet.

Xu Shan felt quite sorry.

Judging from the current structure, it is a bit like the robot industry in the previous life.

Humanoid robots can’t be built, so they’re burning money like crazy. I had no choice but to turn to robots for specific purposes.

There are even fools who say humanoid robots are worthless.

This kind of statement is really not worth refuting. The entire society is built around people. A useful humanoid robot is a universal robot that can use all existing infrastructure to play a role, thereby greatly reducing costs and explosively improving overall efficiency.

The same is true for this spirit puppet. If the balance between cost and practicality can be achieved, it will definitely become a perfect magic weapon that everyone must have.

It's just that there seems to be no hope for this right now...

"Uh... Valley Master, I don't understand. You have transformed early, so your current situation should have nothing to do with the spirit puppets, right?"

"It doesn't matter, at least half of it is taken up." Wen Qi said with a wry smile, "Counting from the generation of the founding ancestors, we still had family wealth before, but doing this thing has emptied at least half of the family wealth. From then on, each generation will be worse than the last. ”

"There are many weapon refining sects in the King Kong Domain, and the competition is also fierce. To be honest, I can only take on some casual cultivating work, just to make small profits but quick turnover. It is even more difficult now. The only spiritual mine in this valley was developed ten years ago. It’s almost exhausted. The volcano on the back of the weapon has been pumped out for thousands of years and is almost extinct. Half of the disciples have fled and everything is used up.”

"How did you manage to maintain this condition until now?" Xu Shan asked in surprise, "Why didn't you think of selling your family earlier?"

Wen Qi began to sigh again: "Everything that can be sold has been sold. If I hadn't maintained it, I wouldn't have been able to survive. I am the only monk in Cardinal Valley, and there is not even a Nascent Soul below. I can only help others fight outside. Fight, hunt some monsters, and exchange them for spiritual stones to be given to the disciples below to practice and purchase materials.”

"I have been able to hold on to this point because my ancestors' legacy is in my hands. I was planning to hold on to those two things and not sell them, but I saw you here today..."

"I think I have money but don't know how to do it, so I want to sell things to me at a high price. In fact, the two treasures are not of much value, and other sects don't like them. They are too expensive to sell, and they are cheap. You can’t stand it, right?” Xu Shan said bluntly.

Wen Qi was embarrassed: "I guess so. Dean Xu, you are also in charge of Lijia Village, you should understand my difficulties."

"With my realm, I can go to any sect, not to mention that they will praise me, I can still make a good living... I bear so many grievances for the sake of the younger generation and the ancestors."

Xu Shankou kept agreeing.

In the past and present lives, it is all the same for people.

Those who work think it is good to start a business, but 99% of those who start a business want to go back to work, and the difficulties are not ordinary.

Wen Qi continued, "Now that we have talked, if you are willing to take this spirit doll, I will give you half the price, 500,000 high-grade spirit stones."

"Mr. Duo? You are so bold!" Xu Shan said in surprise, "For this price, I can hire a group of Yuanying to be my bodyguards!"

"That's different. Can you trust outsiders? The spirit doll will not betray you. It is always reliable and completely at your disposal. Moreover, this is the origin treasure of my Cardinal Valley, an ancient object with historical and collection value."

"Oh my... You can even say such things. It seems that you are really forced into a corner."

Wen Qi's face flushed.

After all, he is a Divine Transformation cultivator, and Xu Shan is a Golden Core cultivator no matter how high his status is.

Today's matter is really too embarrassing, but for the sake of the ancestral foundation... Let's fight!

"Dean Xu, I promise that it is worth the money, and I will give you a special storage ring."

"How about this, let me try it first, and then we can talk after I try it?"
