Chapter 48: Puppet Beasts and Spirit Sense

"Brother Dao, you have a keen eye. This is indeed a first-class, low-grade magical tool."

To receive a magical tool as a greeting gift, how generous! I like you guys!

Seeing Lucas Chen play with the puppet, he infused it with his mana, but the puppet remained motionless.

Meng Qinglian covered her mouth and giggled, "This is a puppet magical tool. Ordinary control techniques won't work. You need to use the corresponding spell."

"Puppet magical tool?"

"Yes, Brother Dao, listen carefully. Spirit and soul unite, soul and matter coexist, the Upper Realm is intricate."

Under the guidance of the beautiful woman, Lucas Chen quickly mastered the puppet technique.

First, he infused the puppet beast with his spirit energy, then he activated the latent spiritual awareness deep within his soul.

But at the Qi Refinement stage, his spirit sense couldn't leave his body, so he had to use spirit energy as a medium.

Suddenly.

Click!

A tiny pangolin suddenly took a step.

Lucas Chen was delighted. With a thought, the pangolin began to crawl.

From slow at first, to gradually steady, and finally, it was quickly circling the courtyard.

"Fun, fun, interesting, interesting!"

"I used to scoff at the idea that puppetry was one of the four great arts of cultivation. Now, it truly lives up to its reputation!"

"It's almost like creating life itself!"

Lucas Chen praised repeatedly. With a thought, the tiny pangolin climbed onto his shoulder.

Turning around, he noticed that Qin Liangchen and his wife, Meng Qinglian, were watching him with surprise.

"Good lad, your spirit sense foundation is truly profound!"

Qin Liangchen was once again amazed by his neighbor.

First, his incredibly agile movements, and now, a spirit sense foundation far surpassing that of others at the same cultivation level.

Lucas Chen was puzzled, "Spirit sense foundation?"

Meng Qinglian nodded at him, "All things have a spirit, and all living beings have a soul. When humans enter cultivation, they generate a spirit sense. Initially, at the Qi Refinement stage, the spirit sense resides in the sea of consciousness and cannot leave the body. Once one reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, the spirit sense can leave the body and perceive the surroundings for several miles. If one is fortunate enough to achieve the Golden Core stage, the spirit sense can evolve into divine sense, reflecting the entire world."

Soul, spirit sense, divine sense.

Lucas Chen silently pondered these terms.

He had heard bits and pieces before, but now he understood the close connection between them.

"But how did you determine that my spirit sense foundation is profound?"

Lucas Chen was confused.

According to their explanation, the spirit sense at the Qi Refinement stage cannot leave the body, so how did they know the strength of his spirit sense?

This time, Qin Liangchen explained.

"Indeed, the strength of the spirit sense at the lower cultivation stages cannot be directly detected, but it can be inferred from external behaviors. The simplest way is through puppet control."

"Actually, we learned this trick during our journey."

Qin Liangchen said proudly, "My son joined the Falling Cloud Sect, which is renowned for its puppet techniques in the Jade Cauldron Domain. They have their own methods for testing and training the spirit sense. When we joined the sect, my wife and I also experienced it."

"For example, how quickly one can control a first-stage puppet beast, the maximum control time, and the running speed of the puppet beast, all provide a glimpse into the spirit sense foundation."

Meng Qinglian nodded, agreeing with her husband, "Indeed, it's said that the Falling Cloud Sect holds annual puppet beast racing competitions, with generous rewards for the winners."

Puppet beast racing!

Lucas Chen's eyes lit up at the mention.

He had already felt the running speed of the pangolin, which was almost on par with a mid-Qi Refinement cultivator using the Wind Control Technique.

And that was with his current lack of proficiency.

If someone designed a puppet specifically for speed, it could rival the physical prowess of a demonic beast!

But after the excitement, a sense of melancholy followed.

Sect life was indeed colorful, but unfortunately, he couldn't join.

"Based on how quickly you mastered the pangolin puppet beast and the speed at which you controlled it, your spirit sense foundation far surpasses what my wife and I demonstrated when we started."

"It's rumored that at the initial Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators' spirit senses can typically perceive up to two miles away."

Moyu Qinglian said with admiration, "If you can advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, your initial Spirit Sense will likely extend for three to four miles."

I'm actually that awesome! Luo Chen chuckled, roughly figuring out the reason.

Either it was a perk of being a transmigrant, or a blessing from the universe.

Or it could be because he had recently overcome a Heart Tribulation, after which he felt much more mentally refreshed.

He could refine two batches of elixirs a day without feeling tired.

Curious, Luo Chen asked, "You mentioned earlier that besides detecting Spirit Sense, the Luoyun Sect has methods to train it? How exactly do they train Spirit Sense?"

"We don't know the specifics," Moyu Qinglian sighed, shaking her head. "But we've heard that the stronger one's Spirit Sense, the more and more powerful puppets they can control. Perhaps the training methods are related to the number of puppets one can control!"

Qin Liangchen snorted, "Puppet beasts are expensive. We bought a few first-tier ones to give as gifts to you guys, but it cost a significant amount of spirit stones."

"It's a shame to trouble you two." Luo Chen reluctantly handed over the pangolin.

"Ah, don't worry about it. We're not short one pangolin. Don't be so formal."

Qin Liangchen waved his hand and pushed it away.

"Once my son becomes a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I'll have as many as I need."

Mentioning his son, Xiaohu, a proud smile always appeared on the rugged man's face.

Moyu Qinglian also radiated a maternal glow.

She stood up, holding her skirt. "I'll go home and clean up first. You two chat, and I'll call you for dinner later."

Can I freeload again?

"This isn't right. I have braised pork leg simmering in my pot," Luo Chen said bashfully.

Qin Liangchen laughed heartily. "I didn't know you could cook, but I doubt it tastes that great. Don't be formal with my wife. Bring your braised pork over, and we'll eat together."

"In that case, I won't refuse."

Moyu Qinglian went inside to prepare, while Qin Liangchen stayed in the courtyard to chat with Luo Chen.

He was a generous and talkative man, with broad horizons from years of cultivation.

Now, after a trip to the Luoyun Sect, which had vastly different customs and landscapes, he had even more stories to share.

Luo Chen, being someone with a strong thirst for knowledge, was the perfect audience.

The two of them talked and agreed, truly feeling like they had met too late, their conversation harmonious and engaging.

"If it weren't for Old Man Mi's letter urging us, we would have toured Huyun Mountain. Really, why have a life-or-death battle? It's like they have too much time on their hands."

Qin Liangchen grumbled about the reason for their return, and the Old Man Mi he mentioned was thoroughly scolded.

To those who didn't know, it might seem like he was talking about some lowlife.

But Luo Chen knew that the Old Man Mi he spoke of was a genuine Foundation Establishment cultivator, the current leader of the Break Mountain Gang.

He was surprised. "Brother Qin, are you going to represent the Break Mountain Gang in the battle?"

Qin Liangchen huffed, displeased. "Of course, I have to help! Back when I could barely afford a meal, Old Man Mi gave me a job guarding a warehouse. I was only at the Second Stage of Qi Refinement then. Now that he's in trouble, I can't just stand by and do nothing."

Luo Chen truly hadn't expected it. His brother Wang Yuan was already planning to participate in a life-or-death battle.

Now, his newly acquainted Brother Qin was also going to join.

What kind of situation is this!

He thought for a moment and decided to give a gentle reminder.

"Brother Qin, the Break Mountain Gang might have a hard time winning against the Great River Gang. The risks involved need careful consideration."

Qin Liangchen glanced at Luo Chen, falling silent for a moment.

But soon, he waved it off.

"It's just a matter of fact. No matter how dangerous it is, it can't compare to when I was at the Fourth Stage of Qi Refinement and went into the mountains to kill beasts. This time, Old Man Mi has been very clear. It's just the Cloudy Alliance pulling the strings behind the scenes."

"There's nothing to it. We'll just beat them to a pulp."
