Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation-Chapter 864 - 634 Decisive Abandonment_1

Chapter 864: Chapter 634 Decisive Abandonment_1

After all.

If he were to acquire another Gold Core from a cultivator at this auction, and used the method from last time to refine it into a Taiyin Puppet,

the strength of the resulting Taiyin Puppet would naturally be more assured.

Moreover, a puppet refined personally by He Song would be better controlled by him, as if it were an extension of his own arm.

Of course.

...

The reason He Song resolutely gave up on that semi-finished Gold Core Puppet also included another factor.

That was because He Song did not believe he had enough spirit stones on him to successfully win the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet at the auction.

The price of a Gold Core Puppet was quite steep.

Even if this Gold Core Puppet was currently only semi-finished.

Yet a semi-finished Gold Core Puppet only needed a bit more cultivation to successfully advance to a Gold Core Puppet’s existence.

Such an existence, compared to He Song’s approach of personally buying a cultivator’s Golden Core, adding a large amount of precious materials, and then refining a Gold Core Puppet by himself using the Golden Core Puppet Refining Method,

was much less troublesome.

This included not only the cost of purchasing cultivator’s Golden Cores but also the expense of buying large amounts of precious materials.

And the cost of hiring a puppet maker to bring these materials together and refine them into a semi-finished Gold Core Puppet.

As well as the subsequent cost of employing an Array Path Master to set up array skills on this semi-finished Gold Core Puppet to accelerate its formation.

All these expenses were quite considerable.

Of course.

There was also one most important expense, and that was time.

If a Golden Elixir Master intended to refine a puppet himself,

the time it would take for a Gold Core Puppet to take shape was at least several decades, and could even be over a hundred years.

If one starts with a huge investment but still needs to wait for several decades or even over a century to obtain a Gold Core Puppet truly refined by oneself,

this trade would certainly not be worthwhile for other cultivators.

And that was exactly why.

Purchasing a semi-finished Gold Core Puppet, then subsequently refining it a bit to turn it into a true Gold Core Puppet under one’s command,

had become the main way for most Golden Elixir Masters to acquire Gold Core Puppets.

However, this factor was not much of an issue for those Gold Core forces interested in the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet.

A Gold Core force, as long as the Golden Elixir Master who founded the force did not meet an untimely demise,

could generally sustain until the end of their lifespan.

Thus, the time needed to refine a semi-finished Gold Core Puppet into a true Gold Core was actually not long for a Gold Core force.

A Golden Elixir Master has a lifespan of five hundred years.

Spending a few decades to leave a foundation for one’s descendants is something many Golden Elixir Masters are willing to do.

Of course, if the foundation is too costly and difficult to create, that’s another matter.

Like refining a Gold Core Puppet from scratch, which is very costly and a troublesome task.

But now.

The semi-finished Gold Core Puppet at hand has basically completed the most difficult part of the preliminary preparations.

What remains is setting up Array Skills, to bring it to life as a true Gold Core Puppet.

When the troublesome issues have already been resolved,

and one only needs to spend spirit stones and handle a bit of trouble afterward to leave a foundation for one’s descendants,

those Golden Elixir Masters with Gold Core forces naturally have ideas.

Of course, not all Golden Elixir Masters think this way.

Apart from those who do think like this, there are also those who possess puppet making skills, or who can refine Array Skills themselves,

as well as those who can obtain cultivator’s Golden Cores on their own and would choose to refine Gold Core Puppets themselves.

Just like He Song, and that Wicked Person of the Demon Tao who has likely reached the Golden Elixir Great Perfection Realm.

He Song chooses to refine himself because he can both refine puppets and set up Array Skills,

While that Wicked Person of the Demon Tao can kill for Golden Core corpses himself, without needing to spend a great deal of spirit stones to purchase them.

Perhaps, he also has mastered a Great Demon Array for puppet refining.

Therefore, with significantly reduced costs, he would choose to refine puppets on his own.

But cultivators like He Song and that Wicked Person of the Demon Tao, who can significantly reduce costs on their own,

are not common in the Cultivation World.

Neither He Song nor that Wicked Person of the Demon Tao is an Ordinary Cultivator.

One can reduce the cost of refining a Gold Core Puppet to the extreme and does not worry about time at all,

while the other is powerful enough to directly kill a Golden Elixir Master and refine them into a puppet with a Great Demon Array they have mastered.

To other Gold Core Cultivators, these individuals are rather formidable, one more so than the other.

He Song might be disregarded, as the spirit stones he needs for puppet making are less than others, and he does not care about time,

If they encounter him, He Song might even run faster than they do.

But if they were to actually encounter that Wicked Person of the Demon Tao in reality,

they might really have to weigh their own strength, to prevent themselves from being killed and turned into a puppet by him.

And it was for this reason.

When He Song realized that the semi-finished Gold Core Puppet at the auction might attract the competition of numerous Gold Core forces,
