I'm in Battle Through the Heavens, and I have a control panel.

Chapter 28 The Underground World

Extreme Yin Sect?

It's a sect that didn't appear in the original work.

Xiao Zheng's gaze moved downwards and he saw a stone platform in front of the stone tablet.

In the center of the stone platform, a dark storage ring and three yellowed bamboo scrolls were neatly arranged.

He stepped forward and picked up the first scroll of bamboo slips, unfolding it.

The writing on the bamboo slips is slightly damaged, but it is still clearly legible.

This first scroll of bamboo slips records the affairs of the Extreme Yin Sect.

In short, the Extreme Yin Sect was a powerful sect that once dominated the world a thousand years ago, and at its peak, it far surpassed the current Yunlan Sect.

Unfortunately, it was later destroyed in internal strife within the sect and eventually declined, leaving only this underground ruin.

"It turns out to be an ancient, declining sect."

Xiao Zheng put down the first scroll of bamboo slips and casually picked up the second scroll.

As soon as it was unfolded, a light gold panel popped up in front of me.

[Discovered a low-rank combat skill: Puppetry Technique]

[Is it included?]

【whether】

Xiao Zheng raised an eyebrow. A fighting skill without a rank?

He did not immediately click to include it, but instead carefully read the contents of the bamboo slips first.

This fighting skill doesn't look like something you can use directly in a fight, so it's best not to rush to collect it and take up a fighting skill slot.

Xiao Zheng held the bamboo slips, his eyes growing brighter with each reading.

This puppet-making technique can only be practiced by martial artists with lightning and fire attributes. Its core is the method of making puppets with the physical body, as well as the technique of controlling puppets.

The term "flesh-body puppet making" refers to the ability to transform powerful living or dead people into controllable puppets.

Puppet Mastery is a secret technique for controlling puppets.

According to the description of the puppet-making technique, deep within the Extreme Yin Sect lies the sect's most precious treasure: a fighting puppet crafted from the physical body of a previous ancestor.

The puppet has three energy crystals installed inside its body, which need to be "charged" with lightning-attribute battle qi.

By filling a single crystal, the Dou Puppet can unleash the power of a nine-star Dou King.

Charge two units, and you can unleash the power of a six-star Dou Huang.

When all three pieces are fully charged, the power of a three-star Dou Zong can be directly unleashed!

However, the fighting puppets can only fight for a quarter to half an hour, depending on the energy consumption intensity during the battle.

If Xiao Zheng could obtain that fighting puppet, it would be equivalent to having a bodyguard at the highest Dou Zong level.

Although this fighting puppet can only be used for a maximum of half an hour each time, it can save your life in critical moments!

Xiao Zheng said sincerely, "Fighting techniques that can only be cultivated with lightning and fire attributes are simply tailor-made for me."

Without further hesitation, he chose yes and included the Puppet Refining Technique in his collection.

The moment the panel disappeared, the information about the Puppet Refining Technique was directly imprinted in Xiao Zheng's mind.

At the same time, two key pieces of information emerged.

First, the specific location where the fighting puppets are stored;

Secondly, the storage ring on the steps contains the Thousand Machine Flame, a strange fire.

It's something that wasn't in the original story.

That's understandable.

There's a rumor from my past life that every novel is the result of the author's mind suddenly resonating with some other world one day.

He glimpsed only a small part of the other world and thus wrote his work.

But the other world is so vast, how could one author possibly write it all?

Far away.

While the Thousand Machine Flame is slightly weaker in combat, it has remarkable effects in crafting puppets and forging equipment, and it is also quite good at alchemy.

Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed.

If I obtain this Thousand Machine Flame, when I arrive in Blackrock City, it will be a piece of cake for me to infiltrate the Alchemist Guild.

Seeing the undisguised joy on Xiao Zheng's face, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Xiao Zheng, what's written on this bamboo slip?"

Xiao Zheng briefly explained the puppet-making technique to Little Fairy Doctor.

He picked up the black storage ring: "I'll keep this storage ring for now."

Little Fairy Doctor naturally had no objection. Her life had been saved by Xiao Zheng, and she wouldn't steal a mere storage ring.

It was precisely for this reason that Little Fairy Doctor did not touch the three bamboo slips and the storage ring on her own, but instead let Xiao Zheng examine them first.

Xiao Zheng put away the storage ring, picked up the third bamboo scroll, and after only a few glances, a look of joy appeared on his face.

This third bamboo scroll records a unique cultivation technique for those with a calamity-related poisonous constitution, called the "Yin Fire Poison Scripture".

This technique is the same as the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture" except for the method of getting started.

His purpose in bringing Little Fairy Doctor into the Monster Mountain Range was to find a cultivation technique for her.

So that Little Fairy Doctor can be trained into a powerful fighter.

In the end, we didn't find the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, but we found the Yin Fire Poison Scripture, so the trip wasn't a complete waste!

Xiao Zheng handed the bamboo slip to Little Fairy Doctor: "This is a cultivation technique, but only women can cultivate it. Take a look."

Because the technique had gender restrictions, Xiao Zheng did not see a notification to have it included.

The Little Fairy Doctor took the bamboo slip with a puzzled look, but after only a few glances, her face lit up with joy.

This is a cultivation technique tailor-made for women with the Calamity Poison Body!

Once mastered, the Calamity Poison Body will not flare up again before reaching the Dou Zong level.

Furthermore, from now on, he can rapidly improve his cultivation level simply by ingesting poison.

However, after entering the Dou Zong realm, the Calamity Poison Body will erupt once. If one can survive it, the eruption of the Calamity Poison Body can be suppressed to the Dou Zun realm.

And if you can't make it through... you'll explode on the spot.

Little Fairy Doctor continued reading, and when she reached the end of the first page, her cheeks gradually became hot.

To learn the Yin Fire Poison Scripture, one special condition must be met!

That is, in the initial stage of cultivation, a male who cultivates fire-attribute battle qi is needed to assist in dual cultivation!

"this……"

The little fairy doctor's hand holding the bamboo slip trembled slightly.

Xiao Zheng looked puzzled.

What's wrong with Little Fairy Doctor's reaction?

Is there something wrong with this poisonous scripture?

He had only read the first half and hadn't looked at the rest.

Xiao Zheng followed Little Fairy Doctor's gaze and looked at the content at the end of the first page, and suddenly realized what was going on.

To cultivate this Yin Fire Poison Scripture, one actually needs to engage in dual cultivation!

Xiao Zheng couldn't help but exchange a glance with Little Fairy Doctor, who felt her cheeks burning even hotter and hurriedly looked away.

Little Fairy Doctor tossed the bamboo slip into her storage ring, trying to divert attention: "Ahem, Brother Xiao Zheng, let's go find your battle puppet first."

Xiao Zheng nodded, and then, following the instructions in the Puppet Refining Technique, he led Little Fairy Doctor toward the ruins of the Extreme Yin Sect.

After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at their destination and found the fighting puppet in an underground chamber deep within the ruins.

He was an old man who, judging by his appearance alone, was no different from a living person, except that his eyes were lifeless.

The old man's body was covered with intricate patterns that could only be seen up close.

"This is the puppet battle?"

Little Fairy Doctor looked at it curiously, not daring to get too close.

Xiao Zheng stepped forward, reached out and touched the puppet, and could feel the subtle energy fluctuations contained within its body.

He took out the storage ring he had just acquired, activated his battle qi, and stored the battle puppet inside. The whole process went exceptionally smoothly.

"nailed it."

Xiao Zheng put away the storage ring and breathed a sigh of relief.

The two left the ruins.

On their way back, they noticed that this underground world was home to many plants.

The Little Fairy Doctor identified the plants and found that about 30% of them were edible.

In addition, they also found an underground river.

Based on the above conditions, Xiao Zheng suggested, "This underground world is quiet and safe. How about we live here for a while?"

Little Fairy Doctor had no objection and nodded in agreement.

Over the next two days, Xiao Zheng made time each day to recharge the fighting puppet.

To his dismay, even with his current strength as a two-star Dou Shi, the speed at which he could recharge the Dou puppet was as slow as a tortoise crawl.

Over the course of two days, only a trace of lightning-attribute battle qi was infused into the first crystal.

At this rate, it might take several months to fully charge the first crystal.

However, the Puppet Refining Technique does record that to quickly fill a crystal, the user needs to have at least the corresponding strength.

For example, if Xiao Zheng were a Dou Wang, he would be able to break through the first piece very quickly, but the second piece would be slower.

Just as Xiao Zheng was about to continue charging the battle puppet, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly let out a painful groan, her face turning deathly pale.

"Little Fairy Doctor?"

Xiao Zheng's expression changed, and he rushed over.

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes were unfocused, and black poisonous gas was constantly emanating from her body.

Xiao Zheng's gaze sharpened.

Is this the afflictives activating?

Xiao Zheng subconsciously tried to touch Little Fairy Doctor, but was immediately invaded by a domineering poison, causing a sharp pain in his chest and dizziness.

"not good!"

He was startled and quickly retreated.

But by then the toxins had already entered the body, and it was too late to retreat.

Xiao Zheng's heart sank. He could sense that if he couldn't clear the toxins from his body, he might perish!
