Human beings are in a state of deception, and immortality begins with the secret book of origami

In short, after knowing the inside story of the puppet master, Mu Lin felt that his paper man was actually quite easy to use - this had nothing to do with Mu Lin's lack of spirit stones and his inability to learn puppetry.

However, although he is not planning to further his studies, Mu Lin does not intend to give up completely.

This may seem contradictory, but it is actually quite understandable.

Mu Lin couldn't afford to fight purely with puppets, which was even more uneconomical for him.

But the puppet technique can be used in conjunction with paper figures and Taiyin living people.

For example, for a complete puppet, you need to choose appropriate materials, build the body, and then inscribe runes and formations. The first is to strengthen the puppet, and the second is to make the puppet move through the formations.

Then, it’s time to build the core of the puppet.

The puppet has two cores, one is the energy core and the other is the thinking crystal.

The former consumes spirit stones and uses formation patterns to connect with the puppet's body, which is why the puppet can move.

The latter are mostly made of soul crystals and can input various commands and so on.

Some puppets will also have spells engraved on their bodies, and then use the energy core to cooperate with the thinking crystal to allow the puppets to release some spells.

It can be said that the creation of puppets is extremely cumbersome. In order to be able to build a puppet by himself, the puppet master needs to understand the characteristics of various materials in the world of cultivation, as well as learn talismans, formations...

In short, it is not easy to become a puppet master.

However, Mu Lin found that it would be convenient if he used the paper binding technique in conjunction with the puppet technique.

With Taiyin's popularity, Mu Lin doesn't need to create energy cores at all.

"With one breath of life, my puppet will be able to move. What's the point of needing an energy core?"

Since there is no energy core, there is no need to learn the formation patterns that match this core...

Well, this is Mu Lin's self-comfort statement to save money.

The energy core is extremely useful. If placed on the paper man, the paper man's activity time will be greatly increased. There will be no situation where the living energy sprayed by Mu Lin is exhausted and the paper man cannot move.

Even with the help of energy core, Mu Lin can summon powerful paper men across levels.

Unfortunately, he had no money and no energy, so he had no choice but to give up.

"However, instead of spending time learning how to make energy cores, I might as well practice Taiyin Life and Humanity. If my magic power is high enough, I can also summon powerful paper men."

…

There is no need to learn the energy core, and for the same reason, there is no need to learn the thinking crystal, Mu Lin.

He can use his mental image of the Sky Burial City to temporarily grant consciousness to the paper man.

The energy core and thinking crystal are the two most important and critical parts of the puppet, and they also consume the most attention.

Without learning them, all Mu Lin has to learn is the selection of materials, and the talismans and formations that belong to the enhanced classification.

The difficulty, energy, and even money spent on learning have all been reduced by countless amounts.

"Materials can also be reduced... My goal is not to create the strongest or most diverse puppets, but to focus only on the paper puppet aspect. Therefore, I don't need to memorize most of the spiritual materials. I only need to learn how to configure them." Just use paper with yin properties.”

Because he does not seek to know everything but only wants to specialize in one thing, Mu Lin has less and less to learn.

Thinking like this, Mu Lin quickly raised his hand and called out to the puppets Twin Flower and Butterfly.

"Humph, you idiot, what do you want from us?"

Because Mu Lin regards puppets as tools, the enlightened twin sisters have no good impression of him.

Mu Lin didn't care about this, he just calmly stated his request.

"I'm not going to learn how to make energy cores or thinking crystals. I'm just going to learn how to configure materials, talismans and formations, and how to use them on puppets..."

"Foolish!"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Lin was scolded by the flower in the twins.

"These are the two most important things in puppetry. If you don't learn them, how can you learn puppetry?"

The commotion here also attracted the attention of other students in the class. After hearing that Mu Lin was not going to learn how to make energy cores, they all looked strange.

This is just like being a soldier without learning the martial arts and fighting skills, or becoming a cook without learning cooking skills. No matter how you listen, it's weird.

"What's going on with Mu Lin? If he doesn't learn how to make energy cores, why is he here to become a disciple?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know either..."

Ignoring the discussions of other students, Mu Lin just looked at the puppet twins and said seriously: "This is my decision, you just have to discipline them. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to Master Mengrui and I will explain to you. "

"..."

These words blocked the mouths of the puppet twins. They still respected their creator and mother.

At the same time, looking at the two of them, Mu Lin also sighed and realized that he had made a mistake.

The puppets in this world are completely different from the omnics in the previous life.

In the minds of humans, the omnics of the previous world were a kind of 'superman' whose computing power was extremely advanced, far exceeding that of humans by hundreds of millions of times.

It is so terrifying that as long as a machine generates intelligence, it can rule the world and destroy everything through extraordinary computing power and an army of infinitely replicating robots.

This is also the reason why the omnic crisis is one of the three major natural disasters.

But the puppets in this world don't have extraordinary computing power at all.

"It is better to say that they are omnics than demons or spirits. Their wisdom is born by chance, not calculation."

"For this reason, they do not have computing power that far exceeds that of humans, nor can they increase their clansmen and subordinates through infinite replication."

"Without these capabilities, their threat becomes extremely low..."

If he had known this earlier, Mu Lin would not have told Master Mengrui to be wary of puppets and be on guard against them.

At that time, he might rely on Dongfang Ya and the Chu family's reputation to become an inner disciple of Teacher Mengrui.

"However, I am not planning to further my studies in the puppet school. There seems to be no difference between the outer door and the inner door..."

With the restrictions of Master Mengrui, even though the puppet twins were unhappy with Mu Lin, they still followed his request and taught him materials science.

Of course, one of them was teaching, and the other was going to report the situation of Mu Lin to Master Mengrui.

Die, who reported the report, didn't say anything. When the 'Hua' in the twins learned that Mu Lin was not even going to learn the ore materials, but was only going to learn how to make paper, she rolled her eyes.

"Fool, are you kidding me? If you only want to know how to prepare paper, why do you have to learn it yourself? Buy it directly, or let some refiners help you make it. Wouldn't it be easier?"

These words made Mu Lin stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but nodded and said: "You are right, as for paper, it is indeed more cost-effective to buy it, or to find a refiner to customize it. In this case, I will not learn how to prepare materials. Come on, please teach me how to engrave talismans and formation patterns on the paper figures."
