Chapter 28

Ye Chen took the book on puppet crafting to his own cave dwelling. He spent time studying the methods of puppet mastery and soon mastered the techniques. Fourth Senior Sister was right; crafting a puppet was much like alchemy or artifact forging, but it involved one critical step: one had to channel their own energy into the puppet and then apply a drop of their own essential blood. Only then would the puppet obey their commands. The more powerful the energy used, the more powerful the resulting puppet. Without delay, Ye Chen took the materials from his storage space and began the crafting process. The initial stages mirrored alchemy and smithing, where he used fire to shape the materials into the desired form before introducing the energy tether. Ye Chen controlled the heat, constantly tempering the materials. As he was now in the Great Vehicle Realm, he could condense True Qi into fire at will. While only those with a Fire Spiritual Root could typically wield flames, Ye Chen possessed a Divine Spiritual Root, allowing him to cultivate techniques of all attributes. Thus, he could conjure fire effortlessly. Soon enough, a piece of high-grade material melted under the intensity of his flames.
