Han Li looked at everything happening before him, his expression calm, but his heart surged like a stormy sea.

However, all of this was like a fleeting glimpse of a dream, lasting less than a breath before abruptly stopping. As the light on the yellow-robed man dimmed again, the vast aura it emitted also disappeared.

Seeing this, Han Li breathed a long sigh of relief, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

The vast aura that had erupted a moment ago vaguely made him feel a trace of palpitations. Although he couldn't specifically judge its exact strength, he was certain that it was an aura that truly surpassed the True Immortal Realm.

Thinking of this, Han Li suppressed the waves in his heart and formed another hand seal.

But this time, no matter how he formed hand seals and cast spells, the puppet in the form of the yellow-robed man in front of him showed no reaction at all.

Han Li retracted the hand seal in his hand, closed his eyes, and released his spiritual sense, quickly probing into the body of the yellow-robed man.

After a moment, he withdrew his spiritual sense, opened his eyes, and his face turned uncertain.

Although he hadn't had much contact with real Immortal Puppets before, he considered himself quite familiar with the Dao of Puppets. After exploring just now, he had already found the core hub of this puppet.

To his surprise, this area was actually empty.

In addition, the entire puppet lacked an energy supply. The reason it reacted to his initial manipulation was probably due to a trace of residual energy.

According to his estimation, maintaining the normal operation of this puppet would require a considerable number of Immortal Essence Stones.

Han Li looked at the puppet in front of him, his expression slightly moved, as if he had thought of something.

With a flip of his hand, a golden ball appeared in his palm, which was the core of the Crab Daoist.

Han Li formed a hand seal with one hand, and instantly a magic formula entered the round ball. Under the flow of golden light on the surface of the round ball, it turned into a palm-sized golden crab. It first shook its head with a pair of crab claws holding its head, and then wobbled to stand up on two legs.

"Fellow Daoist Han, what's wrong, you..." The golden crab's pair of small golden eyes looked at Han Li in front of it, and slowly spoke.

Since returning, it had been in a state of drowsiness, and now it still looked a little muddled.

However, before it finished speaking, it suddenly stopped, turned its body, and a pair of golden eyes stared intently at the motionless yellow-robed man not far away.

"Oh... an Immortal Puppet! Still a Chain Puppet, truly rare!" The Crab Daoist's eyes were gleaming with golden light, and he muttered to himself.

While speaking, it flew out of Han Li's hand, landed on the yellow-robed man, and crawled happily up, down, left, and right, constantly touching it with its crab claws.

Han Li silently watched all of this, without saying much.

A full incense stick of time passed before the Crab Daoist stopped, turned to look at Han Li, and asked:

"Fellow Daoist Han, this Immortal Puppet is of a high grade, where did you get it?"

There was a hint of excitement in his tone.

"The story is long, but this puppet should have a close relationship with a sect called the Holy Puppet Sect." Han Li replied noncommittally.

"Holy Puppet Sect... I haven't heard of it." The Crab Daoist muttered to himself, then looked back at the puppet in front of him.

"By the way, Brother Crab, what do you mean by Chain Puppet?" Han Li asked again.

"The so-called Chain Puppet... is actually a kind of anomaly. The strength of ordinary puppets is roughly fixed after they are refined, and even if there is any improvement in the future, it is very limited. But this Chain Puppet is different. The combat power they display mainly depends on the strength of the manipulator's spiritual sense and the degree of compatibility with it. In short, it is like a magic weapon." The Crab Daoist explained without turning his head.

"So it is, it seems that Brother Crab is very interested in this puppet, but I wonder if it is suitable?" Han Li nodded and asked.

"This... Although I haven't thoroughly investigated it yet, this puppet is of the Earth attribute. Generally speaking, those who practice Earth attribute cultivation methods can better match it. If the degree of compatibility reaches its peak, it should be able to exert the strength of the Middle Stage of the Golden Immortal Realm." The Crab Daoist turned around and said hesitantly.

"Brother Crab's supernatural power is of the Lightning attribute, so that means..." Han Li frowned slightly.

"That's right, this Chain Puppet and I have different attributes." The Crab Daoist nodded.

"I see." Han Li was a little disappointed when he heard this.

He considered himself strong enough in spiritual sense, but he was not very good at Earth attribute cultivation methods. Even if he could distract himself to control this puppet, he didn't expect to be able to exert its full strength.

"If you give me a suitable environment and enough resources, it's not entirely hopeless." The Crab Daoist was silent for a moment, then suddenly said.

"Brother Crab, please tell me what you need, I will try my best to find a way." Han Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked quickly.

If he could let the Crab Daoist successfully control this Immortal Puppet, wouldn't he have an extra helper at the Golden Immortal level?

"First of all, we need to set up a Lightning Formation. This formation is not complicated to set up, but the difficulty lies in the eye of the formation, which requires a natural treasure that can continuously provide lightning power. This treasure is also the key to ultimately determining whether the transformation can be successful. In addition, a large amount of Immortal Essence Stones and top-grade Lightning attribute Spirit Stones are needed to maintain it, to ensure that there is no interruption during my transformation process." The Crab Daoist said.

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and spat out a small piece of golden jade slip, which flew towards Han Li.

Han Li reached out and caught the jade slip. His spiritual sense entered it. Inside was a method for setting up a Lightning Formation, but it was not too complicated for him.

In addition, maintaining this formation required nearly a thousand Immortal Essence Stones and a large amount of top-grade Lightning attribute Spirit Stones. It seemed like a huge expense, but it was not a difficult task for him now.

"No problem, I can set it up for you in seven days at most." Han Li pondered slightly and then said.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist has had no small opportunities since returning to the Immortal World, so I will wait for good news." The Crab Daoist said without being too surprised.

…

A few days later.

Countless purple lines were engraved on the ground of the secret room, forming a circular large formation. The Immortal Puppet in the form of a yellow-robed middle-aged man was lying flat in a certain place in the formation. Eight golden Lightning Wood trees stood around it, which were Lightning Restraining Woods.

Arrays were also engraved on the Lightning Restraining Woods, and occasionally purple arcs of electricity窜动on them.

There was a groove in the center of the Lightning Formation, inlaid with a purple round crystal stone. This thing was none other than the clam pearl that Han Li had taken from the Lightning Clam Monster by chance when he crossed the Thunderstorm Sea back in the day.

Han Li was standing at the door of the secret room at the moment, and the golden crab transformed by the Crab Daoist was standing on his shoulder.

As he formed a hand seal with both hands, magic formulas disappeared into the purple clam pearl in the center of the formation.

The sound of thunder rumbled one after another!

In an instant, all the array patterns on the ground were lit up, blooming with dazzling light. Countless purple electric arcs emerged, and窜动into the air, like countless dancing thunder snakes.

The entire secret room was transformed into a world filled with purple lightning in an instant.

"Brother Crab, what do you think of this formation?" Han Li said to the Crab Daoist on his shoulder.

"Fellow Daoist Han really didn't disappoint me, especially the crystal stone at the acupuncture point is especially extraordinary. Does it seem to have accumulated a lot of lightning power inside?" The Crab Daoist nodded, raised a crab claw, and pointed to the purple clam pearl overflowing with thunder light and asked.

Han Li did not hide it and explained the origin of the clam pearl.

"I originally only had a 30% chance of success, but now it seems that I should have 50%." The Crab Daoist said this, then bent and stretched his two feet, and his figure suddenly turned into a golden light and jumped into the Thunder Formation.

Crack!

Large swaths of thunder snakes flew out from all over the formation, and rushed towards the golden light transformed by the Crab Daoist.

Within the golden light, dazzling golden arcs of electricity emerged on the body of the golden crab, instantly covering its body in it, turning it into a golden thunder ball, and flew towards the chest of the yellow-robed man.

The thunder light flashed, and the golden thunder ball disappeared into it.

The yellow-robed man's body trembled, and a dazzling earthy yellow light appeared on the surface of his skin, only the vicinity of his chest was surrounded by arcs of electricity.

The purple lightning in the Thunder Formation seemed to be attracted, and all gathered towards the chest of the puppet, merging with each other.

The lightning at the chest suddenly became stronger and spread to other places on the yellow-robed man.

The lightning light immediately collided with the earthy yellow light on the yellow-robed man, intertwined fiercely, and occasionally made bursts of explosions, causing the entire secret room to shake, and the Thunder Formation was also in a state of disorder.

Han Li stood at the door, watching everything that happened in the secret room, his face did not change, and a hint of expectation was revealed in his eyes.

According to what the Crab Daoist said, the fusion process may take decades, or even hundreds of years. The abundant lightning power in the clam pearl is naturally not a problem. As for the Immortal Essence Stones and top-grade lightning attribute Spirit Stones, he naturally placed a sufficient amount when setting up the formation.

"Hope everything goes well."

Han Li muttered to himself, then turned and walked out of the secret room. After closing the door, he set up a restriction.

Not long after, he appeared in another secret room and sat down cross-legged again.

Now that the matter of the Crab Daoist has come to an end, he should reconsider his current situation.

Although the Immortal Essence Stones he has accumulated over the years are quite large, if there are no accidents, they should be able to meet his needs to refine enough pills to break through his cultivation.

However, the encounter with Chong Luan during the Holy Puppet Sect trip made him have to strengthen his vigilance.

Although he had killed the opponent, judging from the memory of the black crane, things were still far from over.

According to Chong Luan's words, even if he didn't encounter the opponent in the Holy Puppet Sect, the opponent planned to find the Ancient Cloud Continent again afterwards. In other words, although he is now inside the Candle Dragon Dao, he is not absolutely safe.

The enemy may not be able to find this place.

If Fang Pan and Chong Luan's master, or the person behind Fang Pan comes, how should he respond?
