Chapter 996 Black Crystal Ball
"Is the problem you are talking about the lack of core power?"
After entering the stone house, Qin Shaochen did not waste words.
He asked directly.
In his mind, there were memories of several elders of the Song family.
Naturally, he knew what the biggest problem of the Tianguihu was.
That is, the "Dragon Blood Crystal Ball" that provided power to the Tianguihu had been exhausted.
After the magical material refined in ancient times was used up, there was no place to buy it.
For hundreds of years, the Song family has been exploring the use of other materials as a substitute.
It's a pity that all kinds of rare materials have been tried, but none of them can be successfully replaced.
No matter which material is used, after activating the driving formation, it can only make the Tianguihu stand up and walk a few steps.
If you want to activate the Tianguihu's great puppet technique-"Sky Roar",
it's impossible!
Although Qin Shaochen didn't know what the "Dragon Blood Crystal Ball" was.
But there were more than a dozen large black stones in his storage bag.
That thing is dragon blood.
Try it, maybe it can be used.
"You guessed it right at once!"
Tan Qin was a little surprised.
But she didn't think much about it.
She walked directly to the neck of the Sky Puppet Tiger and disassembled some mechanical puppet devices, revealing a round black gold shell.
At this time, there was a "sky crystal stone" in the black gold shell.
And on the sky crystal stone, there were ten high-grade spirit stones inlaid.
The two materials were combined into a spherical crystal.
Tan Qin reached out and took out the sphere.
"This is the tenth "power source" I made."
"It's still not effective!"
"It can only jump into the air and take a few steps at most."
"Soon, I have to fall down and rest."
"Just that little movement will consume half a high-grade spirit stone."
"The consumption is amazing, but it's almost a waste."
"After several attempts, the effect was not ideal, and the spirit stone you gave me was almost used up."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head frequently.
He looked a little depressed!
"Let me see!"
Qin Shaochen reached out and took the crystal ball from Tan Qin's hand,
and looked at it carefully.
The surface of the ball was covered with puppet runes.
It should be a kind of energy gathering formation in puppetry.
The space power of ten high-grade spirit stones and sky crystal stones were combined together.
A "power source" was formed.
Qin Shaochen had learned some puppetry, but his level was not high.
He could understand some of it, but he could not comprehend it thoroughly.
"Did you carve the puppet runes on it?"
Tan Qin nodded.
"Those puppet characters are complicated, but it's not difficult to carve them as long as you spend some time."
"The trouble is that after the spiritual power of the spirit stone and the power of space are combined, the output power source and the Heavenly Puppet Tiger cannot be well integrated."
"The spiritual power is enough, but the power of space is very empty."
"That kind of imbalance makes the power source very unstable. The Heavenly Puppet Tiger has to absorb the power source again after a few moves."
"It's intermittent, and it can't make the puppet magic power stable!"
Qin Shaochen nodded slightly.
"I do have a material that I can try."
After saying that, he took out a storage bag from his arms and shook it on the ground.
A large black stone fell heavily on the ground.
However, it was not round, but square.
It was a small piece that Qin Shaochen cut from a large black stone before coming.
"What material is this?"
As a mechanical puppet master, Tan Qin has a rich understanding of materials.
But he has never seen that kind of thing.
Reaching out to touch it, he felt that it was extremely hard.
"That's what I found in the ancient battlefield. It should be an ancient material."
"Wait for me to change it into a new shape!"
After saying that, Qin Shaochen stretched out his hand and placed it on the big black stone.
The next moment, the surface of the big black stone changed.
It began to fluctuate like ripples.
Tan Qin was startled and quickly took her hand away.
But she saw Qin Shaochen's hand easily penetrate into the big black stone.
Then, the originally indestructible black stone became extremely soft.
It collapsed directly, like a pool of mud.
It kept wriggling,
and soon expanded into balls.
When Qin Shaochen took his hand away from the black balls,
the ten balls were neatly placed on the ground.
It turned into hard stone again.
In addition, there were ten small holes on the surface of the balls.
No matter the size or the shape, it was exactly the same as the previous "Sky Crystal Ball".
It just didn't have those complicated puppet runes on it.
"Brother Qin, your spell is really powerful. It can turn stone into liquid and then change its shape."
Tan Qin obviously misunderstood and thought that Qin Shaochen was performing an earth-based spell.
She had no idea that Qin Shaochen was actually performing a dragon-like magical power.
Qin Shaochen did not explain.
After all,
the secret of dragon blood is closely related to dragon transformation.
And dragon transformation is his biggest secret.
He will never tell anyone!
"Try to use this black stone as a "power source"!"
"Okay!"
Tan Qin was also very excited and immediately took out a special carving knife for carving puppet runes and carved on the black sphere.
However, after carving several times, the depth requirement could not be met.
Only a shallow mark was left on the surface of the sphere.
"How is it possible?"
"This material is indeed unusual, it is so hard!"
Tan Qin was a little surprised.
The puppet carving knife in her hand is a special high-grade spiritual tool.
Even on the surface of black gold iron, complex runes can be easily carved.
Unexpectedly, it is impossible to leave a real carving on the black sphere.
"Let me help you!"
Seeing this, Qin Shaochen stretched out a finger and gently placed it on the surface of the black ball.
He ran the "Blood Melting Art" of the Dragon Clan again,
and carefully adjusted the strength of the magical power.
Sure enough, the black ball slowly began to soften.
Tan Qin was overjoyed and quickly picked up the carving knife again and carved again.
This time, it succeeded!
Easily carved a series of complex puppet runes on the black ball.
The two worked closely together, and in just one hour, they finished carving the first black ball.
Tan Qin did not waste any time,
and immediately took out the ten high-grade spirit stones embedded on the "Sky Crystal Stone".
Installed on the black ball.
The ten high-grade spirit stones were originally engraved with puppet runes.
The small hole on the surface of the black ball immediately connected with the black stone.
The runes on the surface of the black ball began to flicker frequently.
Tan Qin changed to a small carving knife as thin as a steel needle and adjusted it carefully.
This process is more troublesome than carving runes.
It is extremely a test of patience!
It took nearly two hours to adjust the runes on the surface of the black ball to stop flickering.
It became like a thin stream of water, with a faint glow, flowing over and over again on the surface of the black ball.
"Done!"
Two hours of meticulous carving also made Tan Qin quite tired.
Fortunately, she is now a great spiritualist.
Her cultivation has increased several times.
Otherwise, there is really no way to complete such a complicated puppet rune in one breath.
Qin Shaochen took his finger away.
In a flash, the black sphere became extremely hard again.
However, at this time, the black ball had ten shiny top-grade spirit stones on it,
and was covered with glowing lines,
which looked extremely delicate!
It was like a dazzling black crystal ball!
"Try it now!"
Tan Qin couldn't help but get a little excited.
Although the spiritual energy in the body was almost exhausted.
Regardless of fatigue,
he excitedly held the black crystal ball and stood in front of the Tianguihu.
He didn't put it directly,
but prayed first!
"This is already the eleventh "power source."
"God bless, I hope this time, the effect can be better!"
He bowed three times to the void,
and then carefully put the black crystal ball into the black gold shell.
