Chapter 97: Puppet Master

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Senior, are you very interested in puppets?”

While He Qingge was observing, a voice sounded beside him.

“And you are?”

“I’m Li Dali, a puppeteer. Senior, you can look for me to customize any kind of puppet you like.”

“The puppets here are basically all standard puppets. I can make any type of puppet that you want.”

Lil Butterfly, who was on He Qingge’s shoulder, flew up. She saw a small bird standing on Li Dali’s shoulder, but it was a puppet.

It looked alive and lifelike. Apart from the fact that it was lifeless, it looked like a real bird.

He Qingge was a little surprised. The puppet inheritance of the Tian Xuan Sect was not very strong, but the puppet skills of this person in front of him were not weak.

When He Qingge was learning talismans, he had also learned the basics of the hundred arts of cultivation.

He had naturally heard about the basics of puppetry.

There were almost no outer sect disciples who could reach his level. To be more certain, there should be no one.

It was such a nimble puppet. The sect’s puppet technique should not be able to reach such a level.

Puppeteering was a relatively unpopular profession in the Tian Xuan Sect, and very few people cultivated it.

The sect’s puppet inheritance was incomplete, and there was no good puppet technique inheritance.

He Qingge had gone to the Puppet Pavilion to study it carefully.

It was almost impossible to create such a lively bird like Li Dali.

It was very likely that his puppet inheritance was obtained elsewhere, and it was more complete and stronger than the sect’s puppet inheritance.

It should be his own immortal destiny.

“I’m indeed interested in puppets, but I am more interested in the method of making them.” He Qingge smiled.

Li Dali’s expression changed slightly when he heard that. He only wanted to sell the puppets in exchange for some cultivation resources.

Why was this person still thinking about his puppet technique?

He Qingge carefully sized up Li Dali. He was wearing a simple robe, and his long hair was tied up and floating behind him.

His cultivation was not high, only at the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

His face was rather tough, and his facial features were sharp and angular.

His palm had very thick calluses, which seemed to have been from frequently forging puppets.

Li Dali was not a body refinement cultivator, but a Qi practitioner.

Unless one had cultivated a special sword technique or something similar, one would not be able to have such thing calluses.

However, the person in front of He Qingge did not carry a magic sword on his back, nor did he have any other magic tools.

He did not have a ring on his finger or a storage bag on his waist. He looked rather poor.

This was basically due to the long-term training of the puppet technique.

“If you want to learn puppet techniques, the best way is to go to the sect’s Puppet Pavilion to learn. Learning from me is a little too much.” Li Dali laughed dryly.

“You must be lacking cultivation resources!” He Qingge smiled.

“Senior, you’re right, but who in the world doesn’t lack cultivation resources?” Li Dali shrugged.

“It’s 10,000 spirit coins at the very minimum. If your puppet art surpasses my expectations, I’ll provide you with even more spirit coins.

“If you can teach me a puppet technique that’s stronger than this little bird on your shoulder, then I can provide you with the cultivation resources you want, such as spells or even cultivation techniques that you can’t exchange for now.”

Li Dali frowned. Why did He Qingge, who was in the mortal realm, speak so arrogantly? “Who are you?”

10,000 spirit coins!

He Qingge was a little surprised. Was this person in front of him so ill-informed?

He could really be said to be the top of the entire Tian Xuan Sect.

He was a servant disciple who was directly promoted to a legacy disciple and won first place in the Qi Refinement Realm Competition.

This Li Dali was also in the mortal realm. Did he not pay attention to the competition?

“I’m He Qingge. Have you heard of me?”

“You’re that He Qingge, the servant disciple who directly ascended to the legacy disciple!”

Li Dali’s voice unconsciously raised a few decibels.

He often heard this name, but he was not familiar with it.

He did not participate in the previous sect competition because of his strength.

“It’s me. What do you think of this deal?”

Li Dali’s expression kept changing as he thought seriously.

Although he had obtained the inheritance of the puppet technique, he did not have any cultivation resources, and his cultivation aptitude was not good.

The puppet technique was not very popular in the Tian Xuan Sect. At the very least, it was far inferior to talismans, magic tools, and pills.

It would probably be very difficult to exchange for enough resources for his rapid cultivation.

If he agreed to He Qingge’s conditions, the 10,000 spirit coins would be enough for him to cultivate for a long time.

It could even be said that the sum was enough to get him the resources for his entire period in the Qi Refinement Realm. He could use the remaining time to prepare his Foundation Establishment resources.

He was already old enough. Even if he spent a lot of effort to build puppets for others, he might not be able to earn so many spirit coins.

Li Dali said, “It’s not enough. After listening to what you said, I might as well hand over my puppet technique to the sect. I might even obtain greater benefits.”

He Qingge smiled. “One must know their own limitations. The sect might reward you with great benefits, but the problem is, can you protect such benefits with your current strength and talent?

“For an outer sect disciple like you, you’ll have to go out on a mission once every three years. The powerful disciples will have many ways to force you out. “In this world where the strong prey on the weak, many people disappear every day.”

“Are you threatening me?” Li Dali’s eyes turned cold.”

He Qingge said calmly, “How is that a threat? I’m just telling you the truth.

“With my status as a legacy disciple, if I really want to deal with you, there are thousands of ways. Even if it’s your puppet technique, you won’t be able to stop me if I want to plunder it.

“And the conditions I proposed shouldn’t be bad!”

Li Dali was a little conflicted. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, “Alright,

I’ll teach you. But you have to keep your word.”

He Qingge patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry. You can trust my character

As he spoke, he threw a small storage bag to Li Dali.

There were so many Qi Refinement experts who had died in Beacon City, and He Qingge had already picked up many storage bags just by searching the corpses.

Li Dali received the storage bag and transferred his spiritual power into it. When he opened it, his eyes lit up.

He estimated that there was about 4,000 to 5,000 spirit coins. With the value of this basic storage bag, it was fine even if he did not have more spirit coins.

Li Dali looked at He Qingge. He did not expect He Qingge to be so generous.. “I believe you!”
