Chapter 322: Chapter 149: The Army of Golden Armor Warriors, The Way to Enter Qingyun Sect_1 After arriving in the Inner City, Lu Changsheng didn’t go directly to purchase or deal with his belongings. Instead, he found a large inn, checked into a room, and changed into a different disguise. After all, having spent so long in Nine Dragons Market, he had experience with this and wanted to avoid attracting attention. At this time, Lu Changsheng also remembered the ‘Golden Armor Bean Mother’ in his System Space. Since he had been with Xiao Xiyue, he hadn’t taken it out. “Extract.” Lu Changsheng opened the System Space, his mental spirit flickered slightly. Immediately, a golden bean the size of an egg appeared in front of him. At the same time, detailed information about the ‘Golden Armor Bean Mother’ emerged in Lu Changsheng’s mind. The Golden Armor Bean Mother could transform into a Second Rank Golden Armor Warrior or be used for planting and breeding Spirit Beans. The information about this Golden Armor Warrior was close to what he had speculated before. It was somewhat similar to a puppet and a demon beast. Or rather, it was something in between a puppet and a demon beast. It had slightly more autonomy than a puppet. It didn’t require divine sense to control and could follow simple commands. But compared to demon beasts, it had less autonomy. It could only do as commanded and lacked the ability to adapt spontaneously. But this Golden Armor Warrior didn’t consume Spirit Stones like a puppet, nor did it require food and drink like a demon beast; it could absorb and store Spiritual Energy on its own, and, when completely depleted, could recover slowly if placed in Spiritual Earth. “This Golden Armor Bean Mother’s transformed Golden Armor Warrior has the strength of the late Second Rank.” “Even if its autonomy is low and it doesn’t have many techniques or divine skills, it’s still comparable to a top-level Second Rank puppet.” “It shouldn’t be a problem facing medium-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.” Lu Changsheng had an approximate understanding of the Golden Armor Bean Mother’s combat capability. The combat capability was quite straightforward, geared towards close combat and acting as a meat shield. Similar to a puppet, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would struggle to withstand its full-force attacks. “However, as I suspected, the primary function of this Golden Armor Bean Mother lies in its ability to be planted and cultivated.” A faint smile appeared on Lu Changsheng’s face, understanding the planting and breeding aspect of the Golden Armor Bean Mother. It takes three years to sprout, three years to grow leaves, three years to blossom, and three years to bear pods. In other words, it can complete a reproduction cycle and bear fruit every twelve years. Each time, it can yield five to ten Golden Armor Spirit Beans. All these Golden Armor Spirit Beans can transform into Golden Armor Warriors, although they are not as powerful as the Golden Armor Bean Mother. They only possess the strength of the late First Rank, roughly equivalent to a high-grade First Rank puppet. “A twelve-year cycle is a bit long,” “Moreover, these Golden Armor Spirit Beans can’t be planted and bred like the Golden Armor Bean Mother.” “Otherwise, if I could continuously breed more from the beans, I could establish an entire army of Golden Armor Warriors.” Lu Changsheng felt a tinge of regret in his heart. When he first obtained Second Rank puppet techniques, he envisioned creating an army of puppets to execute the Puppet Sea Technique. However, due to the high cost of creating puppets and the need for personal control, he had to abandon the idea. But these Golden Armor Spirit Beans could be planted, and he could have them do tasks with just simple commands, rekindling his interest in this approach. Alas, these Golden Armor Spirit Beans also had their flaws. “Unless necessary, I should avoid using the Golden Armor Bean Mother for combat.” “Otherwise, if it gets damaged or develops problems and can’t blossom and bear fruit, that would be a major loss.” “After all, the Golden Armor Warriors produced from these Golden Armor Spirit Beans are extremely convenient for combat, tilling Spiritual Earth, forging puppet parts, or any simple miscellaneous tasks.” “They require no human manipulation, no food or drink, no rest, and as long as they have enough Spiritual Power, they can work endlessly.” “When their Spiritual Power is exhausted or they suffer from wear and tear, provided it is not too severe, they can recover if buried in Spiritual Earth.” Lu Changsheng muttered to himself, realizing that for him, the Golden Armor Bean Mother was not to be used for transforming into a Golden Armor Warrior for combat. But rather, to continually reproduce a labor force. In the future, when he established his own family, many tasks, such as the envisioned Puppet Factory, could be entrusted to the Golden Armor Warriors produced by the Spirit Beans. “I wonder if I will be able to draw something like the Golden Armor Bean Mother again.” Lu Changsheng became even more interested in such Dao Soldiers, and decided to check the bookstores in Qingyun Market later for information about Dao Soldiers. After putting the Golden Armor Bean Mother into his Spiritual Pet Bag, Lu Changsheng left the inn. He first visited two Magic Artifact shops and traded the artifacts he didn’t need for Spirit Stones. In total, there were four supreme artifacts and three upper-grade artifacts. The quality of these artifacts was still quite good, and since they weren’t used much, he sold them for six thousand three hundred Spirit Stones. As for the three Spiritual Artifacts he acquired from the young man in the red robe, Lu Changsheng chose not to sell them. Now that he had reached Foundation Establishment, it was only natural that he updated his artifacts. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮 The other party’s colorless Flying Sword was quite good, being a middle-grade Spiritual Artifact, so he kept it for his own use. Although the blood-colored scissors were somewhat worn, they were still usable. As for the Red Phoenix Pearl, since it was the other party’s Life-bound Spiritual Artifact, its power would be significantly reduced if he used it, but considering it was a Life-bound Spiritual Artifact and rather conspicuous, potentially recognized by acquaintances, Lu Changsheng also chose not to sell it, planning to decide what to do with it later. Afterward, Lu Changsheng inquired about the location of the Qingyun Commerce Guild. He changed his appearance again and headed towards the Qingyun Commerce Guild. For constructing the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp, he already had several of the common materials, but the rest were rarer Spiritual Materials, which were hard to find in ordinary shops. They could only be purchased from big commerce guilds and large shops. In addition to buying materials for the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp, Lu Changsheng also intended to purchase a Second Rank Talisman Brush and materials for drawing Second-tier top-level Supreme Talismans.
