Chapter 348 She gave the puppets a name: Eight Arhats
Amidst laughter and conversation, they quickly devised a plan to fight the puppet.
They chose the puppet on the far right.
Pingping and An'an held off the two puppets next to it, while Yueyue, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoqing, and Xiaobai helped fight.
The chosen one was then bound by ropes conjured from Huanhuan's nine tails.
Zhong Lingxin focused on its head.
Zhong Chun should quickly study its core, break it open as soon as possible, and take out the array plate inside.
The allocation was excellent, and the cooperation was very effective.
Unfortunately, it's definitely not easy to actually do.
First, the two little guys, Ping An and An, were not strong enough. As soon as they got entangled with the puppet, they were almost dragged into the formation and killed.
Zhong Lingxin drew many gravity talismans and Vajra talismans, and with the two little ones working hard for several days, they actually broke through to the third level, barely managing to stall the two puppets for three breaths.
Then there's the chosen puppet, which is exceptionally strong.
Perhaps the owner of the ancient cave had foreseen that others would target the puppets on the far side first, so he made the puppets on the far side especially exquisite.
Finally, just as Zhong Chun's hand touched and pressed the puppet's chest, he was blasted away by a burst of white light from the puppet's chest, spitting out blood and collapsing to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Zhong Lingxin rushed over and fed Zhong Chun a healing pill with the immortal spring water. She also pressed her hand firmly against his dantian and transferred a wisp of immortal energy into his dantian to help him circulate the pill.
Half an hour later, Zhong Chun finally recovered and said with a happy expression, "It's the front of my heart. I can feel the array plate. It's amazing. If I hadn't been careful and kept avoiding facing the puppet, I'm afraid that this white light would have killed me."
Everyone was relieved.
Huanhuan retorted, "Kill you? What are you talking about! At worst, we'll just use the Seven-Seed Lotus to make you a physical body. Don't worry, you won't die."
Zhong Chun turned over and stood up, saying irritably, "Well, thank you then!"
Huanhuan pretended not to understand Zhong Chun's sarcasm and said nonchalantly, "You're welcome. Go collect the puppets."
Zhong Chun ignored her and said to Zhong Lingxin, "Xinxin, we need to make a fifth-order array plate first. It's called the Zhenyuan Array, to suppress the immortal energy of the array plate on the puppet. As long as the array plate on the puppet can't be activated, we can take it away however we want."
Zhong Lingxin got a headache just hearing this.
Of course she knew about the Zhenyuan Formation.
This is the most difficult to refine among the fifth-grade array plates.
Although she has now reached the threshold of the fifth-grade array plate, she can only refine the simplest killing arrays, such as wind arrays, fire arrays, water arrays, and other single array plates.
She had never successfully created a complex trapping and killing formation that combined elements such as wind, fire, water, and thunder. How could she possibly create the most difficult Zhenyuan Formation?
It was really hard for her.
Even if it's difficult, you must persevere.
Who told her to be jealous of these puppets?
Fortunately, she has a time-travel formation, making one year equivalent to ten years.
Soon, Zhong Lingxin entered the time array, and her friends all entered the array to cultivate as well.
Only Zhong Chun was left outside to keep watch.
Zhong Lingxin plunged headlong into the ocean of array formations, tirelessly carving array plates, making array flags, and refining array pillars every day.
Since we're going to forge the most difficult array plates, we need to solidify our foundation in fifth-grade array formations. Let's learn all kinds of fifth-grade array formations.
Fortunately, since she became a rich woman, she has been shopping sprees in every immortal city she visits.
She has collected a great deal of materials for the four arts of alchemy, talisman, weaponry, and array formation, enough for her to learn fifth-grade array plates for now.
As time went by, Zhong Lingxin's array formation skills improved greatly, and she finally successfully refined a fifth-grade Zhenyuan Array.
Zhong Chun held the Zhenyuan Formation, which was quite well-made, and laughed out loud.
This is clearly the result of countless revisions.
It's truly a miracle that this formation wasn't ruined.
Seeing Zhong Lingxin emerge from seclusion, the group of friends all left the Nine-Story Tower with renewed vigor and began collecting puppets again.
Ping An and Huan Huan simultaneously flicked their tails, trapping the three puppets.
Zhong Lingxin swung her immortal sword toward the head of the puppet she was about to capture.
Yueyue and the other children all helped Xiang Pingping and An'an.
Zhong Chun crouched down and crawled under the puppet's armpit. He pressed one hand hard against the puppet's chest, and just as the immortal energy in the chest began to circulate, the Zhenyuan Formation in his other hand covered it.
Perfectly, it covered the immortal essence that was about to circulate.
The puppet quieted down.
Zhong Chun fiddled with the puppet's front for a while, and a small hole the size of an egg was opened in the puppet's front.
An array plate popped out.
Zhong Chun put the array plate back into his hand, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "Drag it out."
With a powerful pull from its tails, Huanhuan dragged the heavy puppet out of the puppet array.
Pingping and An'an breathed a sigh of relief and quickly flicked their tails.
They were exhausted just trying to hold off the puppet for a few breaths.
Before they could even be happy for a second...
Then the two puppets that they had shaken off each took a step forward and pulled back the puppets that had been dragged out.
Another array plate slowly appeared in the small hole in front of the puppet.
Then, the hole closed up.
The puppet has returned to normal!
Lele was so angry that she scorched the puppet with a ball of fire.
The puppet array came to life, and a torrent of immortal energy swept towards Lele.
Zhong Lingxin's mind raced, and she led her friends to hide inside the Nine-Story Pagoda.
Huanhuan said angrily, "Save it! Once we take out the array plate from the puppet's heart, put it into the Nine-Layered Pagoda."
Yueyue also said resentfully, "That's right, our Nine-Story Pagoda has six stories, I don't believe we can't keep them away."
Zhong Chun also said angrily, "Wait a moment, I'll set up a few trapping formations on the sixth floor, in all directions, several hundred miles apart, and see how they converge."
Zhong Lingxin nodded. If Zhong Chun set up a trapping array on the sixth floor, then she would set up a trapping array on the fifth floor.
If all else fails, she'll set up on the first, second, third, or fourth floors.
There was no immortal essence there, only spiritual energy. She wanted to see how the puppets would function without immortal essence.
Soon, Zhong Chun had set up a trap.
After a lot of effort, the group managed to get a puppet into the Nine-Story Pagoda and put it on the far east side.
A puppet array missing a puppet clearly feels like something is missing.
The group persevered and managed to put another puppet into the Nine-Story Pagoda, throwing it to the far west side.
Both puppets remained obedient and did not react at all.
Zhong Lingxin dared not be careless and threw the third and fourth ones into the fifth floor of the Nine-Story Pagoda.
As they collected more and more puppets, Zhong Lingxin and Zhong Chun finally figured out how to use them.
Each puppet is equipped with nine array plates.
The ancient immortal who created the puppet was truly extravagant!
Zhong Lingxin and her friends kept collecting and collecting, completely losing track of time.
Once all the puppets were stored in the Nine-Layered Tower, Zhong Lingxin finally confirmed the number of puppets: a full eight hundred.
She named the puppets: Eight Hundred Arhats!
Seeing the immortal energy floating around her companions, Zhong Lingxin decided to hurry forward and explore the ancient immortal cave as soon as possible.
