53 Puppet Dharmic Artifact! (1/2)

As he looked at Xie Haiyang—who had solemnly pledged his help—Wang Baole sighed, lowered his head, and rubbed his belly, his expression troubled.

”Why didn't it work this time?” His previous few experiences had given him confidence, but today, he had been beaten black and blue by reality. He felt immense pressure when he thought of his future path to losing weight.

Disheartened, he sat on the veranda of the cave abode and looked at the blue sky. Vaguely, he seemed to see the silhouettes of many Fatso Forefathers, causing his mood to darken. He could only take out that handsome picture of himself and space out.

”Don't tell me Heaven is jealous of my talent. Heaven is unwilling to let such a handsome person exist, so it strikes me down and blocks my path to losing weight!” The more Wang Baole thought about his situation, the sadder and angrier he felt. Finally, he gritted his teeth and took out a bag of snacks; however, after looking at the bag, he paused and threw it aside.

”I'll bear with it!” Angrily, Wang Baole resisted the urge to look at the snacks and waited for Xie Haiyang to return. This continued for three days until… Xie Haiyang returned.

The moment saw Xie Haiyang, Wang Baole grew excited.

”Brother Xie, have you thought of a plan?”

Xie Haiyang walked into Wang Baole's cave abode and rubbed his gelled hair with a lofty expression. He coughed after hearing Wang Baole's words.

”Your problem is too simple. It's just losing weight; even though the Death Pills didn't work, I am an expert in losing weight. The moment I get into action, you will definitely succeed!”

Hearing the confidence in Xie Haiyang's words, Wang Baole's eyes lit up. He quickly made Xie Haiyang sit, offered him Ice Spirit Water, and looked at him eagerly.

”Brother Xie, as long as I can lose weight, whether it's Spirit Stones or anything, I can negotiate!”

Xie Haiyang drank his Ice Spirit Water and spoke softly.

”Let me tell you, in Ethereal Dao College, there is a Dharmic artifact. This Dharmic artifact is priceless, extremely valuable; I can help you get it and lend it to you for seven days! I guarantee that once you use this Dharmic artifact, you will definitely slim down in seven days!” Xie Haiyang's voice was extremely low, and it had a mysterious quality. Wang Baole's eyes lit up after listening, and he moved his head closer.

”What Dharmic artifact? How effective?” As the double Head Prefect of the Dharmic Armament faculty, Wang Baole was very sensitive to the words 'Dharmic artifact'. When he heard Xie Haiyang talk about this artifact, he could not help but be curious.

”Legend has it that a thousand years ago, there was an ancient slimming method called the Brain Tricking Technique. To put it simply, it tricks your brain. For example, when it comes to exercise, you trick your brain into thinking that you have already exercised for a long time, and so it will quickly replace the old with the new, drawing the energy from your body and thus losing weight.” As Xie Haiyang spoke, he felt very smug. He felt that this plan was extremely appropriate for losing weight.

”The priceless Dharmic artifact that I am speaking of was refined using this principle. It's not too much to call it a banned artifact. After you use this, you will definitely lose weight!”

Hearing this, Wang Baole's eyes shone as he was filled with hope.

”To think there's such a Dharmic artifact… You are a genius. Did you bring this Dharmic artifact?”

”If this Dharmic artifact was easy to borrow, it wouldn't be so valuable. This treasure's owner is not someone from the Lower Academy Island; it belongs to some prominent figure at the True Breath realm on the Upper Academy Island!” Xie Haiyang coughed and pointed out the owner's cultivation level so as to highlight his own ability at dealing with powerful people.

”Upper Academy Island?” Wang Baole's eyes widened. Ethereal Dao College's Upper Academy Island was where countless students dreamed of entering. Furthermore, to enter the Upper Academy Island, one had to pass an extremely competitive exam. They were not mere mortals but cultivators!

”This person's identity is confidential. I can't tell you who, and the person is also unwilling to let too many people know that he possesses this banned artifact. Under normal circumstances, this person wouldn't have lent this out.

”However, in Ethereal Dao College, there is nothing I, Xie Haiyang, cannot do. As long as I cater to their desires, this person is very reasonable. If you want to borrow this Dharmic artifact, you need to refine some puppet Dharmic artifacts to exchange so that it will be easier for me, as this person likes to collect different kinds of puppet Dharmic artifacts.” When Xie Haiyang spoke of the puppet Dharmic artifacts, he paused and looked at Wang Baole.

”Puppet Dharmic artifact?” Wang Baole hesitated. These kinds of Dharmic artifacts were rather unorthodox in the study of Spirit Kernels. They were split into defensive puppets and offensive puppets, and there were very few formulations. Furthermore, one needed to have an alarming mastery of Spirit Kernel and Inscriptions to refine a puppet. Broadly speaking, to find someone who could refine these puppets in the Lower Academy Island Dharmic Armament faculty was very rare.

”These kinds of Dharmic artifacts are difficult to refine. Furthermore, I have only refined Spirit Kernels at the moment, and I don't have the materials and formulations.” Wang Baole wrinkled his brow, feeling that this task was a little difficult.

”I have the materials. Whatever you need, just tell me!” Xie Haiyang's eyes were bright, and he smiled as he spoke.

”I haven't finished. The other party has a hobby of collecting puppets: he doesn't want animal puppets, only human puppets, and they have to be huge, fierce, and vicious! You also know that in the wilderness beyond the city lake, wild beasts run rampant; when we go out, having a few burly protective dolls will make it safer.”

After explaining the situation, Xie Haiyang arranged a time to collect the goods and then left.

In the cave abode, Wang Baole sat with uncertainty written all over his face. He had a sneaking suspicion that something was amiss. However, if he wanted to lose weight, he could only use the other party's Dharmic artifact. Thus, he needed to refine puppet Dharmic artifacts.

Let's refine!

For these kinds of Spirit Kernels that he had never refined before, Wang Baole researched first before deducing the Inscriptions. When he had the results and the confidence, he would finally begin carving Inscriptions.

The offensive puppet is too difficult. There is no point in making it. I should focus on the defensive type instead. Since it is defensive… then it has to be sturdy, so I need to add at least thirty Inscriptions to strengthen its defenses.
