Chapter 3827 The Exchange
Seeing the puppet, Bianca couldn’t help but express her admiration. “This is incredible. It looks so real!
What a true masterpiece.”
Holden had a smug look on his face as he said, “Our family ancestors were once taught this technique
by Craftsmen Sect. That’s how we learned to craft puppets.”
“Craftsmen Sect?” Jared instantly recalled the hand fan in his hand, which was also a creation of
Craftsmen Sect.
“Oh, so you’ve heard of Craftsmen Sect, too?” Holden asked, turning toward Jared.
Jared nodded. “Yes, I’ve heard of it. Apparently, it is quite renowned for its blacksmithing skills. Would it
be possible for you to share the method of crafting these puppets, Mr. Holden? Also, what is used to
power them?”
If it was the zombie puppets crafted by the demons, they utilized the inherent strength of the corpse
itself along with the robustness of their physical bodies. Therefore, the strength of the puppet corpse
was related to the power it possessed when it was alive.
However, Holden’s type of puppet was different. It likely had to do with the method and materials used
in its construction, as well as the driving force behind it.
“Sir, although you’ve saved us, the creation of these puppets is a secret ultimate skill of the Olsen
family. I’m afraid I can’t share it with you. However, this puppet is powered by things like spiritual stones
and beast cores. The higher the quality of the spiritual stone or beast core, the greater the power of the
puppet,” said Holden.Hearing that, Jared wasn’t surprised. After all, it was an ultimate skill of their family. It wasn’t likely they
would just casually teach it to others.
“Mr. Holden, I also have a defensive weapon forged by Craftsmen Sect here. Take a look.” Jared took
out that hand fan.
Holden took it, examined it carefully, and then excitedly said, “Not bad. This is indeed made by
Craftsmen Sect. However, it’s somewhat damaged. I’m afraid it might not last for many uses.”
“This hand fan has no problem withstanding a strike from a Top Level Tribulator cultivator. Mr. Holden,
I’d like to offer you this hand fan. Could you perhaps share with me the technique of crafting puppets? I
promise I won’t spread it around. I’m just really curious.” It was a painful sacrifice Jared was willing to
make in exchange for the secret technique of puppet creation.
Though Jared could utilize Nine Shadows to create shadow clones, the energy expended by the
shadow clones still came from his own physical strength.
noveldramaMoreover, the shadow clone didn’t always exist at any time and in any place.
However, that puppet was different. As long as there were materials and spiritual stones, it could be
crafted at will, without draining any of Jared’s own strength.
Jared was deep in thought, envisioning the creation of a puppet army. With such a force, he could
triumph across Ethereal Realm.
Even if the puppet was destroyed, he wouldn’t mourn for it as it could be recreated at any time.
Holden gazed at the hand fan in Jared’s hand, lost in thought for a moment. After that, he leaned in and
whispered a few words into Jared’s ear.
No one knew what was said.“Sir, I hope you won’t share this with others. Consider it as my way of repaying the life- saving favor
you’ve done for me. Until we meet again.” After Holden finished speaking, he led his group up the
mountain.
Jared, along with Bianca and the others, did not continue up the mountain. Instead, they started to rest
right where they were.
Jared knew that he could only ascend the mountain once he was fully recovered. If he happened to
encounter anyone from the Mueller family in his latest condition, it would lead to his death.
Jared pondered over the words of Holden. Despite having the method to craft the puppet, Jared was at
a loss as to where to find the materials.
Moreover, there were several ingredients that Jared had never even heard of. No wonder the Olsen
family didn’t build an army of puppets. It seems that the materials are precious and rare, and I can’t
make any right now. I’ll have to see if I can locate the materials during my free time.
Using the various mystical herbs stored within his Storage Ring, Jared rapidly regained his strength. In
merely half a day, he was back to his original vigor.
