Chapter 4: Please Witness My Skills, Senior

"妈妈的朋友?"

赵月华微微点头,似乎在承认自己是'妈妈的朋友'的身份...

"你爹李青云有炼气八层的修为,也修炼炼丹.你娘徐丹青有炼气七层的修为,是个傀儡师.我说得对吗?"没错...""我和你母亲在同一个团队中冒险过很多次,那是在你出生之前...""原来你在我面前是前辈~"李玄机故开悟,然后一脸愁容地说道:"母亲已经去世二十多年了,我一直孤身一人,无助,无人依靠.今天我终于知道,世界上还有亲人.真是太幸运了~""我不是你的亲戚..."赵月华微微皱眉,道:"我只是你母亲的一个单纯的朋友,今天来这里是要你一件事,不是来找亲戚的."这是我的粗鲁."李玄机见他声称有血缘关系的企图被拒绝,但他并没有表现出任何失望.他继续问道:"我想知道这位前辈今天来这里是为了什么?他顿了顿,然后诚恳地说:"虽然我母亲已经去世二十多年了,但前辈是我母亲的老朋友,伯昌是我的小辈.我应该尽我所能提供帮助."..."赵月华没有马上回答,而是环顾了一下小院,暗示着什么:"这就是你家里剩下的全部了吗?"是的."李玄机知道自己家境贫寒,苦笑道:"我父母早逝,我有伪灵根,让我的修炼天赋很差.我花光了家里所有的财产,只达到了炼气第二层.我把前辈逗笑了."用伪灵根感应气,可不容易.你辛苦修炼到现在.赵月华微微点了点头,然后转移了话题:"你家里还有傀儡精华吗?"是的..."李玄机见她提到傀儡精要,并没有表现出任何惊讶.他从容不迫地从储物袋中取出一枚淡黄色的古玉简."这就是前辈说的吗?""是的..."赵月华点了点头,确认了它的真实性.她本来想用一些丹药来交换的,但突然她似乎想到了什么,问道:"里面的傀儡术你学了多少?"啊,这..."李玄机一愣.他不能说他在业余时间结交了很多现实的"玩伴",对吧?他沉思了一会儿,半真半假地说:"我从小就跟着妈妈学习,还帮她做了一些木偶.我开始修炼之后,也学习了十几年的这门功法.他顿了顿,然后有些羞涩的说道:"虽然我学到了很多东西,但我的修为水平也不过是炼气二层,而且我没有灵石可以买材料,所以没做多少实战."你学到了很多东西?"Zhao Yuehua looked at him doubtfully and said: "Puppetry is a niche and unpopular technique in the cultivation world, and the entry threshold is not low.As far as I know, the puppeteer needs to have requirements for talismans, patterns, calculations, formations, mechanisms, etc. Some high-quality puppetry puppets even require restrictions and refining to match. You have learned a lot?""Puppetry is indeed as the senior said, a high-threshold cultivation skill, and it is also very complicated to learn, but…"Li Xuanji said solemnly: "I am only poor in cultivation talent, not stupid. I have learned from my parents since I was a child, and I have also explored it by myself for more than ten years. I think I have some research on puppetry!""Oh?"Zhao Yuehua was surprised, "Really?""Really!"Li Xuanji's heart was pounding, and his fingers in his sleeves were trembling slightly…He was not lying…After he transmigrated, he realized that this was a cultivation world, and he liked to follow his parents since he was a child. When his father refined pills, he acted as a fan boy beside the furnace; when his mother made puppets, he acted as an apprentice who handed tools.With the soul of an adult, he learned the skills while also examining the differences between the two worlds.He did know some puppetry, and the realistic 'playmates' on the couch and bedside were proof…And when he entered the door just now, he knew that the woman in front of him had a much higher cultivation level than him. The blade that was on his neck disappeared in an instant, and it was likely to be a magic weapon.Although he couldn't see what her cultivation level was, he knew clearly that his mother was at the Qi Refining Late Stage 20 years ago!And this woman was an old friend of his mother, and her cultivation level 20 years ago must not be lower than the Qi Refining Late Stage, and now, maybe she was already at the Foundation Establishment Stage!!From the current situation, she seemed to want to make a puppet, and 'puppetry' was a niche and unpopular technique in the entire cultivation world, and not many people knew it.He happened to know some…If he could sell his favor from this aspect and get her help, wouldn't the 'Dao companion problem' that he was worried about before be solved?Li Xuanji had lived two lives, and he was already middle-aged. Although he almost gave up because of his poor cultivation talent before, that was after all helpless…Now that he figured out the correct way to use his golden finger, he felt hopeful for the future, and how could he be willing to be inferior to others?So he knew clearly that the first priority now was to be obedient, and to earn the favor of a Foundation Establishment cultivator while keeping his life, that would be the best…He took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and said calmly: "If the senior doesn't believe me, you can buy some materials, and I can make a Qi Refining Fifth Layer puppet on the spot!""…"Zhao Yuehua saw his confident look, and inexplicably had a thought of 'maybe this kid really knows puppetry'.She seemed to think of something, and asked: "Why can you only make a Qi Refining Fifth Layer puppet?""My cultivation level is too low, making a Qi Refining Middle Stage puppet is already my limit."Li Xuanji saw her disappointed look, and quickly added: "If you want to make a Qi Refining Late Stage puppet, it's not impossible, but some steps need the senior to help me personally…""Qi Refining Late Stage…"Zhao Yuehua frowned slightly and muttered: "What if I want to make a Foundation Establishment puppet?""…"Li Xuanji's breathing was stagnant, and his heart rate seemed to skip a few beats. He was nervous and worried.Nervous because she had a 90% chance of being a Foundation Establishment cultivator;Worried that he couldn't help, couldn't sell his favor, and couldn't get help…"I'm afraid I have to disappoint the senior…"He came back to his senses and didn't choose to brag, but said regretfully: "My family's Puppetry Essentials only records the methods of making Qi Refining puppets, and there is no Foundation Establishment one.""I have a method of making a Foundation Establishment puppet."Zhao Yuehua took out a jade slip with a sense of age from her storage bag and handed it over: "This Foundation Establishment puppet is quite special, you take a look and see if you can make it with my help.""…"Li Xuanji was surprised, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just nodded and took the jade slip and put it on his forehead to observe it carefully with his divine sense…But the more he looked, the deeper his brows wrinkled…After reading it, he took a long breath and said: "To make this puppet, you need a core made of tung heart wood, and this core requires a second-grade refiner to make it, and you also need to apply restrictions to it. I can't do it…""Second-grade refiner…"Zhao Yuehua nodded slightly and didn't feel surprised. She asked: "What about the other parts besides the core?""Besides the core…"Li Xuanji looked thoughtful…He had also seen that Foundation Establishment puppet just now, and the difficulty was in the core made of tung heart wood, which could not be refined without a second-grade refiner.Although the other auxiliary materials also had some difficulties, he could understand them more or less. If he spent some time studying, and had someone to help him, he might be able to try it…He seemed to have made some kind of decision, and said solemnly: "Three years!!"He was afraid that he didn't make it clear, and explained: "With the senior's help, I need three years to make the other parts of this puppet except for the core!""Three years?"Zhao Yuehua looked a little dazed and muttered: "What if I only give you two years?""…"Li Xuanji looked hesitant, but after seeing the hazy expression of the senior, he gritted his teeth and replied, "If I can get your help, even two years is possible!""Two years is possible?""Yes!""..."Zhao Yuehua looked at him with a hint of a smile when he said 'yes' with an almost gritted teeth demeanor. She didn't know what she was thinking, and then smiled."You said it's possible, right?"She smiled and said, "Don't promise too much too soon. I don't know if you really know how to manipulate the Yan art, or if you're just talking out of your ass.""I need three materials!"Li Xuanji said seriously, "Two for error tolerance, one try will tell.""Okay!"Zhao Yuehua casually threw the jade scroll recording the 'Yan Technique Outline' back into his hand and said, "I'll go prepare three materials for you. If you can really create a练气middle level puppet, then I'll believe what you said; if I find out that you're just talking out of your ass... "Her voice trailed off, and she looked cold as she said, "I won't blame you for not respecting your seniority."Li Xuanji looked straight into her beautiful eyes and nodded seriously, saying, "I will prove it to you."
