Inside the Immortal Palace.
Yin Tianshou led them to acquire a considerable amount of items, including decrees and small talisman arrays, all of which were readily available.
However, everyone inside the Immortal Palace showed great respect towards Yin Tianshou, which made Chen Xun and the others blink in surprise.
Could it be that they had encountered some significant figure while purchasing property?
As they entered a side hall, Yin Tianshou turned with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, please keep these items well. They serve as Li Chen Immortal Palace's testament to the Immaculate Immortal Ridge. From now on, it belongs to you."
At that moment, a man and a woman suddenly emerged from a burst of blue light, their skin a pale silvery hue.
They carried a jade tray filled with various items.
Yet, their expressions were icy, their pupils flickering with a cold and ruthless light, deep and unfathomable, but without any soul fluctuations within them!
Even from a distance, one could feel the thick spiritual qi within them.
It was as if they harbored immense power, making it impossible to discern their exact cultivation level from their aura.
Chen Xun and his companions were taken aback, realizing that these were not living beings but puppets!
"Senior, what are these?" Chen Xun asked in astonishment, as puppets were rarely seen, and the art of puppetry was not thriving in the small boundary.
"Silver Feather Immortal Puppets."
Yin Tianshou revealed their name unhurriedly, "However, to be worthy of the title 'Immortal Puppet,' the method of their creation is unknown to me. Only the master craftsmen of those transcendent great powers can create a few."
Seeing the intense interest in Chen Xun's eyes, he elaborated further, "Immortal Puppets can directly connect to the star compass, and the techniques they possess are even more than those who crafted them."
Yin Tianshou pondered for a moment, then looked at the two Immortal Puppets, "Bring it up."
"Yes." The two responded coldly, their eyes showing no emotion, as if maintaining absolute rationality.
Chen Xun's eyes gleamed with excitement. What a treasure!
If he could make such Immortal Puppets, tasks like moving garbage or mining would be much easier, and they could even help operate the star compass.
He pondered and asked, "Senior, is there a place to buy these Immortal Puppets, or do any great powers sell the method of making them?"
Having lived on Li Chen Island for so many years, he had never heard of such puppets being sold, possibly due to the island's insufficient level.
However, they now had many spirit stones, and as long as there was a price, they could certainly buy them.
Yin Tianshou shook his head, "Such Immortal Puppets are generally not sold on the market; they are extremely precious, but there are many opportunities to obtain them. The lowest cultivation level of these Immortal Puppets is the Void Refinement phase."
Gasp!
Chen Xun and his companions took a sharp breath, exchanging glances. Little Chi, in particular, bristled with its facial features twisting together, now not only a low-level spirit beast...
Even a puppet could crush it! Its eyes were filled with despair, its body shrinking a few inches unconsciously. Being weak had its advantages; at least no one paid attention.
Chen Xun gazed intently at the man and woman, worthy of being able to enter the star compass, with Void Refinement phase as the threshold.
Black Bull looked somewhat bewildered, shaking its head repeatedly at the two puppets, unable to discern any difference.
If they were on the street, it might have thought they were some other race of living beings!
Little Crane pursed her lips, secretly memorizing the aura of these puppets.
They were somewhat different from real living beings, as they lacked any presence of life force!
She was highly sensitive to the life force of living beings, primarily due to the innate techniques brought by the source hidden within her.
"Thank you, Senior, for enlightening us." Chen Xun's gaze was as if he wanted to devour the two Immortal Puppets, with several plans forming in his mind.
He had mentioned the Snow Feather Immortal Puppet to Shi Jianbai during their exchanges in the star compass, but he hadn't thought much of it at the time.
Now, seeing it with his own eyes... he could only say it was truly impressive!
Little Crane and the others stepped forward to take the items from the jade tray, and the two Immortal Puppets vanished into a silver light, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Even now, they couldn't perceive their exact cultivation level, and Senior Yin hadn't said much about these two Immortal Puppets.
It was unclear whether he was afraid of discouraging them or if there were secrets he couldn't reveal.
At this moment, Chen Xun's eyes were filled with joy as he tightly held a rectangular jade token engraved with various runes, with four distinct ancient characters: Immaculate Immortal Ridge.
"Moo~~" Black Bull's eyes widened, its tail wagging involuntarily, looking quite pleased.
Little Crane also put away the Earth rank Thousand Mechanism Spirit Seal, her face flushed as she tightly held Little Chi.
"Thank you, Senior Yin!" Chen Xun solemnly cupped his hands, though there was still a hint of reluctance in his eyes, the joy somewhat overshadowed, "We will take good care of these items."
Yin Tianshou nodded lightly, his gaze lingering on Little Crane.
Chen Xun had placed the signature on this little girl, not on himself.
But he didn't ask further; it was someone else's family matter, and excessive concern might cause displeasure.
Yin Tianshou slowly turned his gaze to Chen Xun, "If you have an unbeatable enemy at your door, you can come to the Immortal Palace to find me. I still have some influence to mediate."
Throughout this journey, he had heard the most about safety concerns.
It felt as if Li Chen Island could be destroyed at any moment, making him chuckle, yet also piquing his curiosity.
"Senior, there's no need to worry. We have no enemies and will not trouble you."
"Moo!"
Chen Xun and Black Bull stepped forward, eyes filled with respect. This senior's behavior seemed somewhat mysterious to them, and they didn't understand him well.
Yin Tianshou stroked his beard, smiling kindly, "Very well, in that case, I won't disturb you any longer."
"Moo moo~~" A flash of struggle appeared in Black Bull's eyes, but it still wanted to learn about talisman arrays.
Such arrays were rare on the market, and even the seniors on the transmission stone only explained common arrays, convenient for most cultivators.
But this talisman array was clearly more controllable than ordinary arrays, the latter being more about range, while the former focused on details, and its Five Elements Decomposition Array lacked this detail!
Yin Tianshou looked at Black Bull with a gentle smile, "If you invite me to the Immaculate Immortal Ridge, I will come, and I do have some insights into talisman arrays."
"Moo!" Black Bull snorted excitedly, feeling quite favorable towards Yin Tianshou.
Moreover, being on their own property on Li Chen Island dispelled many of their concerns.
Chen Xun glanced at them, then looked at Yin Tianshou, "If you are willing to come, I will personally come to the Immortal Palace to welcome you."
After speaking, he took a deep breath and solemnly cupped his hands, having not encountered such a senior for many years, almost forgetting how to act as a junior.
