The sixth day of August.

In the quiet room, there are a large number of second-level spiritual materials and third-level spiritual materials piled up.

These third-level spiritual materials are all provided by the Jade Blood Army.

As for those larger quantities of second-level spiritual materials, he had just used four drops of White Lotus Spiritual Essence to produce them in large quantities.

After all the second-order top-grade spiritual plants were spawned, there were only a little over 200 second-order mid-grade and second-order high-grade spiritual plants left in the courtyard.

Originally, there was not such a large quantity.

Among the second-level high-grade spiritual plants, there are six adult plants he originally planted, ninety seedlings cultivated with spiritual seeds, and five adult plants separated from Lu Quan's courtyard.

In addition, there are ten second-level middle-grade spiritual plants, all of which were harvested from Lu Quan's courtyard.

There are also twenty-four second-level low-grade spiritual lotus plants, which were left behind by the previous owner of this courtyard.

These are all the spiritual plants in the courtyard.

After ripening and harvesting those second-level top-grade spiritual plants, Meng Zhou did not plant any more.

But at the beginning of the year, in order to cultivate the Medicine Spirit Master profession to the second level limit, he spent time practicing the two spiritual planting skills of "grafting" and "splitting."

As these two skills were cultivated to perfection, all the spiritual plants in the courtyard were "disastered" by him.

On a Qingling tea tree, branches of three different types of spiritual teas are gathered together, and on a spiritual fruit tree, a vine spiritual plant grows. These are common operations.

The number of many spiritual plants has also been forcibly removed from one plant to more.

If he hadn't killed a lot of spiritual plants due to his lack of proficiency when he first started practicing, his small courtyard wouldn't be able to accommodate these many spiritual plants.

Even now, it seems a bit crowded.

Moreover, these spiritual plants that have undergone surgery look a little weird.

In addition, Meng Zhou now really needed second-level spiritual materials, so he spent four drops of white lotus spiritual essence to ripen and harvest a large number of second-level spiritual plants, leaving only some of the normal-looking ones that were eye-catching and pleasing to the eye.

In addition, it should be mentioned that since the body-refining method was replaced and the three-pole cycle of essence, energy, and spirit was truly balanced, the condensation speed of White Lotus's spiritual marrow has also increased.

However, the magnitude of this improvement is not large.

This has increased from four drops per ten days and twelve drops per month to fourteen drops per month.

However, since Meng Zhou used White Lotus Spiritual Essence to verify its effect on Tai Sui's flesh and blood at the beginning of the year, he never used it again.

Over time, the amount of White Lotus Spiritual Essence has become very considerable.

At the end of his retreat, there were already 241 drops of White Lotus Spiritual Essence in the Nakong gourd. This time, in order to harvest a large amount of second-level spiritual materials, he used four drops, and there were still 237 drops left.

…

Meng Zhou sat cross-legged in the quiet room.

Each second-level spiritual material is like soft clay, and can be rounded and flattened as he pleases.

For those who are outsiders, they may think that the most fundamental difference between the third-order spiritual puppet and the second-order spiritual puppet is the difference in materials, the difficulty of refining technology, and the difference in strength shown by the combination of these differences.

.

But for Meng Zhou, who has "got the brains" of refining a third-level low-grade spirit puppet, he already knows that these are just appearances.

The biggest difference between the second-order spirit puppet and the third-order spirit puppet is the difference in "spirituality".

But in appearance, there is no difference between a spirit puppet and a puppet.

Any puppet can be transformed into a spirit puppet, and conversely, any spirit puppet can be refined into a puppet.

The real difference between them is that the spirit puppet has "spirituality".

The puppet is just a tool, a dead object, so it's okay to treat it as a slightly special magical weapon.

However, the level of "spirituality" of the second-level spirit puppet is very low, and it can only give the spirit puppet an extremely simple and primitive spiritual reaction like "knee-jerk reflex".

The same is true for the giant bear spirit puppet and the black turtle spirit puppet that he hid in the formation.

"When the formation is attacked, kill the attacker and protect the formation" is their only responsibility.

Unless he changes this setting, or completely takes over these spirit puppets and controls them himself, they will only do this one thing rigidly.

Compared with this, the spirituality of the third-level spirit puppet is much more advanced and can do many more complex things.

You can do things like looking after homes and nursing homes, helping with simple management of spiritual fields, pouring tea and water, or pinching feet.

Although it is still difficult to hide its dull nature, just like some sweeping robots that are called intelligent but are actually mentally retarded, compared to the second-level spiritual puppets, this is undoubtedly a qualitative leap.

After deeply understanding this, Meng Zhou matured a large number of second-level materials for practice.

Because when making a third-level low-grade spiritual puppet, it is not necessary to use all third-level low-grade spiritual materials.

The quantity of third-level spiritual materials in his hand is very small.

Moreover, in the current environment, it is unrealistic for him to obtain large amounts of third-level spiritual materials to use as leveling materials.

Therefore, except for those parts that require the use of third-level spiritual materials, Meng Zhou's idea is that as long as second-level spiritual materials can be used, all places will be replaced with second-level spiritual materials.

Anyway, what he is pursuing now is to successfully get started and quickly upgrade. As for the power, that will only be considered after he has mastered this skill to perfection.

With the second-level mid-grade and high-grade spiritual materials changing into shapes one by one under Meng Zhou's random manipulation, they were cleverly put together, and the spirituality was perfectly connected. A spiritual puppet was quickly formed at a visible speed.

Finally, Meng Zhou took out a third-level low-grade earth element spiritual crystal.

Even if its spiritual qualities are put aside, judging from its appearance alone, it is still a priceless treasure.

Meng Zhou observed it carefully and divided it into four parts evenly.

The difficulty of decomposing spiritual materials this time is much more difficult than processing those second-level spiritual materials.

Because he not only wants to make a whole piece of material smaller, but also ensures that its inner spiritual structure is not destroyed in the process.

Otherwise, when it is divided into four, this material will be scrapped.

Fortunately, when he uses his body-refining achievements beyond the second-level limit, coupled with the sword-making talent brought by his natural sword body, any power he exerts can have "sword-like" qualities.

He finally divided the third-level low-grade spiritual material into four parts on the premise of ensuring that the spirit of the spiritual material would not be lost.

Meng Zhou took out one of them and placed it at the core of the spirit puppet's chest.

As this material was put in, with this third-level spiritual material as the core, the spirituality within the entire spirit puppet began to flow.

Looking at the trend, all spirituality will revolve around this third-level spiritual material and merge into an organic whole.

But this fusion trend only progresses to about 30%, and the flow of spirituality begins to become disordered.

After reluctantly circulating for a while, there was a loud "bang" sound, and the originally complete spirit puppet was directly divided from the chest position and became two sections.

The moment the explosion occurred, a huge phantom monument shrouded Meng Zhou, blocking all damage caused by the explosion.

At the same time, the entire quiet room, including the materials placed aside by Meng Zhou, were immediately protected by the formation, so that the damage comparable to the self-explosion of a fake elixir did not cause any substantial damage.

but……

Meng Zhou looked at the ruins of the spirit puppets that were messed up by the explosion, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

He took the third-order low-grade spiritual crystal into his palm, carefully observed it, and found that the originally pure earth spirituality on it had become mixed.

"unusable."

With this thought in his mind, he put away the discarded spiritual crystal.

Although this spiritual crystal has become useless and cannot be used again, it is still a precious resource to Meng Zhou - this is Yaya's ration.

It is worth mentioning that when Meng Zhou used the method of knotting to create the third-level skill of "All Things Deduction", which allowed the knot master to complete the breakthrough from the second level to the third level, that was the obstacle that restricted Yaya from going further.

It has also quietly disappeared.

Because from the very beginning, Yaya, who existed in the state of Rope Spirit, had her growth progress completely bound to her own knot master's progress.

Later, due to twice devouring a large amount of Wuzhu's divine will from the statue of Lihen, Yaya's growth progress was ahead of the Knot Master's progress for a long time.

But strictly speaking, this can only be regarded as an "unexpected windfall." Like this time, being brought along by the growth of the knot master is the "glorious and righteous path" that truly belongs to her.

Because of this change, Yaya also fell into a deep sleep for the first time.

He is still sleeping in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Fortunately, the two Xuanling Turtles are both intelligent and powerful enough to take on the responsibility of guarding the portal. Coupled with the strict security protection and the current environment of Sanchuan Plain, Meng Zhou is not concerned about the safety issues during the retreat.

Not too worried.

What's more, he not only has a protective stele that can carry out all-round three-dimensional defense against the spirit, energy, and spirit, but also has a sincere foresight that can warn in advance. If there is any eventuality, he can end the retreat in advance and respond.

After checking the changes in the third-level spiritual material in the core area of ​​self-destruction, Meng Zhou exploded the main body into two pieces. More wreckage was scattered around the quiet room. The remaining spiritual puppet bodies were gathered up and studied carefully.

The reason for this failure.

In the end, after careful sorting, Meng Zhou attributed the reasons for the failure to two points.

First, I am not familiar with the spiritual changes of the third-level low-grade spirit puppets - to be more precise, I am very familiar with them in theory, after all, I have "the brain", but when these spiritual changes collide with the actual spiritual materials,

When it does, it becomes unfamiliar.

This is because theory has not yet been combined with practice. It is like a college student who has studied civil engineering for several years entering a construction site on the first day. He really doesn’t understand anything and even needs to be taught how to put on a safety helmet.

There is no other way but to fill these pits with repeated failed attempts.
To be continued...
