Chapter 240: Chapter 209 Nascent Soul Types_1

Under the gray and hazy sky, there was a boundless expanse of grassland. Gusts of wind swept by, making the grass roll like waves in the sea.

Countless creeks, like capillaries, meandered beneath the grass.

Near the river, on a spot of land purposely cleared, stood a giant white fox with fish-like fins.

A young man with a golden mask was stroking it up and down.

A white cat was yawning lazily to the side.

“Stop wasting your energy! You haven’t mastered even the basics. There’s no way you’re controlling this high-level puppet!”

The puppet cat snorted contemptuously upon seeing Xu Mu’s struggle.

This puppet was extraordinarily difficult to control. It wasn’t a straightforward matter of being at the Golden Core Stage of cultivation. Without decades of dedicated study in the Puppetry Technique, Xu Mu wouldn’t be able to health his essence into it.

“Such a powerful thing in my hands, and it feels wasteful not to use it. There’s still plenty of time, let me research more!” Xu Mu said with a grin.

“There’s still plenty of time?”

The puppet cat twitched at the corners of its eyes, wanting to slap Xu Mu to death.

Since the beginning of their journey, this guy had been slow. After completing his task, he acted more like he was on a leisure outing.

Although their master didn’t set a time limit, he also didn’t imply that he could drag his feet to such an extent.

The frustrated puppet cat simply closed its eyes and started to focus on cultivating its spiritual energy.

As a puppet, it did not need to worry about any destructive aura invasions.

What the puppet cat did not know was that just after it closed its eyes, the white fox puppet showed a tiny movement. It was so miniscule that and Xu Mu tried to hide it, so the cat didn’t notice.

While others could take decades to learn, for Xu Mu, he simply needed to…

Add points!

“Fortunately, I saved some Luck Value, or it might not have been enough!”

Xu Mu secretly celebrated his foresight.

The Puppetry Technique given to him by the puppet cat was of a high level. To refine the white fox puppet, required a large amount of Luck Value.

Thank goodness he had saved up!

His delay in time was also intended to fully refine this puppet.

Although he had now completely refined it, he did not plan to reveal this.

He always felt there was more to this than met the eye, so it was better to keep some tricks up his sleeve.

After fiddling a bit more, Xu Mu put on a show of packing up the puppet, woke the puppet cat, and they set off once again.

A day later, the duo finally reached the agreed meeting point.

The other five people were all present.

“Didn’t you come here on foot? You’re so slow!” the woman with the blue face mask scorned.

“What a waste of my time!” the man with the green face mask said chillingly.

“Did you encounter any trouble?” the man with the purple face mask said with concern.

“Humph!”

The woman with the red mask merely snorted coldly, evidently also harboring grievances.

It was estimated that they had all been waiting for more than a day.

Only the man with the black face mask, watched him peacefully, not expressing any emotions.

“Sorry, I did run into a bit of trouble. I’m sorry if I caused any worries!” Xu Mu laughed heartily.

No one could tell he was actually sorry.

“Like hell we were worried about you! If it weren’t for these puppets preventing us, we would have left a long time ago!” the woman with the blue face mask said disdainfully.

“We are all Golden Core cultivators. A few days’ time is but a blink of an eye. There’s no need to be upset.” The purple-faced man spoke in a roundabout way, laughing, “Since we’re all here, should we get moving?”

“Humph!”

The green-faced man snorted coldly and transformed into a streak of light, flying far away.

No one said anything, and they all transformed into streaks of light to catch up. “What’s the rush? Aren’t we going to discuss first?” Xu Mu wondered.

“Fellowcultivator, we’ve discussed many times already!” the purple-faced man said with a wry smile: “Okay, let’s talk as we go.”

“Oh, alright!”
