Chapter 387: True Goodness Takes Action Again
When Zhang Chi saw Zi Mian complete her transformation and then undo it, his mouth started watering.
"Coach, I want to change professions."
As for sword cultivation?
"Not even dogs play with it."
Zhang Chi's eyes were filled with envy. Which young boy wouldn't want to pilot a Gundam?
"So, what do you think, Master? This is my main puppet. It was made using the core of the Undersea Flame Ice Stone and can engrave two Divine Abilities, one for ice and one for fire."
Zi Mian said proudly.
In terms of puppets, she had really outdone herself.
There were many people in this world who cultivated puppets, but generally, they only reached Zi Mian's level before her.
When a person had Divine Abilities and the puppet did not, the combat effectiveness of a puppet at the level of Divine Abilities was basically negligible.
At most, they would find some slightly harder materials that could withstand a bit of damage, which was considered the puppet's final use.
However, Zi Mian's uniqueness changed this situation. It could be said that among cultivators at the same level, no one would be Zi Mian's match.
She alone was an army, so how could she fight?
It was possible that after the battle, they would realize that Zi Mian hadn't even shown up.
After breaking through, the puppets Zi Mian could control were thousands of miles away, ten times more than before.
This was just the range of control. To truly unleash the combat power of the puppets, they had to be within a thousand miles.
Beyond this distance, the combat power of the puppets would decrease as the distance increased.
It could be said that after Zi Mian broke through to the Divine Ability Realm, although she was still in the early stage, the help she could provide to Zhang Chi was much greater than before.
The only downside was that she was now poor again.
After making two puppets capable of carrying Divine Abilities, she had emptied her savings. She didn't have the money to make more puppets now.
Puppets capable of using Divine Abilities couldn't be made from a few pieces of scrap wood.
The cost of making a puppet was at least several hundred thousand spirit stones, and that was excluding the main materials.
Materials like the Ten Thousand Year Ice Crystal Stone might not even be available for several million spirit stones.
After hearing Zi Mian talk about her recent experiences, Zhang Chi also knew that she was facing an economic crisis.
Playing with puppets was a pay-to-win game. Unlike him, as a sword cultivator, if he didn't have the Innate Breathing Technique, which allowed him to absorb spiritual energy at a fast rate, he would only need a few spirit stones a month.
And that was just for auxiliary cultivation.
So, even though Zhang Chi had greedily accumulated so many spirit stones before, he couldn't find a place to spend them. In the end, he couldn't spend them all and ended up giving them to Wenren Li as angel investments.
One million spirit stones were indeed a lot, but if they were left in his hands, they were just a pile of stones. If they could be converted into assistance for her at a time when she was a weak Celestial Human, it would definitely be a profitable deal.
There was a certain emotional foundation between him and Wenren Li, but the most important thing was the interest relationship.
Of course, having a bit of emotion based on an interest exchange could also make the exchange of interests more secure for both parties.
Thinking about it, this was also the tacit understanding between the two.
He didn't know how Wenren Li was doing recently.
Zhang Chi just casually thought about it. For now, he needed to take care of Zi Mian's needs.
"I have a plan this time. After it's done, you may never lack money again."
"Hmm?"
Zi Mian became interested in this plan.
"Come closer and listen..."
Zhang Chi still treated Zi Mian like a child, but Zi Mian had grown up now. When she leaned in to listen to Zhang Chi, her face was flushed.
She had grown into a young girl because of the feelings between men and women.
Zhang Chi, however, was completely unaware that his unintentional actions made Zi Mian feel shy.
He was focused on explaining his plan.
If it were in front of a girl he wanted to flirt with, Zhang Chi would naturally pay attention to her words and actions, in order to control her emotional changes and analyze her personality traits.
As for Zi Mian, she didn't have that much thought.
Zi Mian was just a "sickly" M maid, and she was happy as long as she could work properly.
"...In any case, let's start by making some puppets for disposal, using them to collect those precious materials, and then use them as a springboard to continuously grow and strengthen."
"Ah?"
Zi Mian realized that she seemed to have forgotten everything, her mind constantly thinking about other things.
Zhang Chi: "..."
Is my plan not exciting enough?
Zhang Chi wondered in his heart, but he didn't ask further, just emphasizing it to Zi Mian again.
In the plan, her puppetry was the most important.
That day and night, Zhang Chi did not return to his residence.
Meanwhile, in the Eastern Sovereign Palace realm, someone saw a person holding a banner with the words "True feelings never fail, good karma is easy to cultivate."
At first, no one paid attention to this strange person, until someone loudly mentioned the name "True Good" Daoist and asked him for help in finding someone. Then, people began to spread the deeds of "True Good" everywhere.
Of course, among these people, there were stooges.
If there were no stooges to cooperate in acting, how could things be done without them?
Zhang Cheng's trick was to have the play where it should be and the stooges where they should be.
And of course, not everyone in the crowd was a stooge; some people had indeed heard of the deeds of True Good.
Last time, True Good's alter ego helped Black Emperor find his daughter, and this news spread throughout the Western State.
Those who were well-informed knew about it, but only a few could recognize him at a glance.
In the crowd, someone shouted, "Master True Good, can you help us find someone named Zhang Chi? He is causing great slaughter in the Dragon River realm, with heinous crimes. If Master can find him, I am willing to pay any price!"
This statement sounded righteous, of course, it was a line made up by Zhang Chi.
But this line was very much in line with the demands of these people.
Are we looking for Zhang Chi for treasures?
Of course not. People like us, who are morally upright, naturally seek to uphold justice. As for getting the Dragon Horn along the way, that should also be considered good karma.
In any case, following this line of thought to write the script would definitely not be wrong.
And the most concerning issue for everyone now was naturally Zhang Chi's whereabouts.
Isn't this True Good Master good at finding people?
Shouldn't it be no problem to find Zhang Chi?
True Good responded calmly, saying, "I have heard of the bloody massacre in Dragon River, but the killer's luck is too strong. Your identities and positions are not enough. I can't bear the backlash. If you can find someone with a high enough status and position to entrust the task, I am willing to help find this madman for free."
These words were spoken in front of a city's worth of people, and True Good also stated that he would stay in the city of Zhuxing for a while, waiting for commissions to come to him.
Zhuxing City was a large city on the western side of the Eastern Sovereign Palace's jurisdiction, and it was also an important defense line in the western region.
And no one knew that True Good's true body was in the distant Snow Wind City...
When the news that True Good was willing to find people for free spread, the people of the Eastern Sovereign Palace were the first to become restless.
Although Venerable Fuhu sent a message saying that there was something suspicious about this matter and to proceed with caution, they all listened.
But since the clues were delivered to their doorstep and they didn't have to spend any money, how could they not go and ask?
