Thinking it over, a map of the vicinity rapidly flashed through He Song's mind.
He Song's current location was within the Area of Influence of the Nether Saber Sect, inside Smoke Cloud Prefecture.
East of Smoke Cloud Prefecture, then, was Fallen Phoenix Province, where He Song had previously been located.
And He Song had naturally traveled through all of the Immortal Provinces adjacent to Smoke Cloud Prefecture and Fallen Phoenix Province several months in advance.
In this situation, He Song naturally had some understanding of these things.
At the same time, he was also clearly aware of which Immortal Provinces among these several had Places of Dense Yin Energy.
However.
After careful consideration, He Song's attention couldn't help but turn towards Fallen Phoenix Province.
Within Fallen Phoenix Province, He Song had once found a Place of Dense Yin Energy.
Moreover, He Song had long ago used the Mist Veil Formation to completely conceal it.
If one didn't have Formation Breaking Methods, or wasn't already aware that this Place of Dense Yin Energy existed.
Other Cultivators would certainly be unaware of This Location.
Of course, only setting up a Mist Veil Formation for concealment in such a Place of Dense Yin Energy wasn't truly secure.
But if He Song subsequently wanted to set up Array Formations at This Location to refine his Golden Core Puppet, he would naturally set up layers of Array Formations to ensure the Safety of This Location.
The reason why he only set up a Mist Veil Formation for concealment before using it.
Mainly because He Song didn't need it yet, setting up the Mist Veil Formation was just to claim the location in advance.
In this situation.
If He Song chose to use this Place of Dense Yin Energy in Fallen Phoenix Province to try to refine a Golden Core Puppet.
This Location actually perfectly met He Song's requirements.
He Song himself was originally concealed within Fallen Phoenix Prefecture.
And although this Place of Dense Yin Energy wasn't too close, it also wasn't too far.
If something happened at This Location, He Song would probably be able to arrive instantly and rectify the situation.
If the Puppet Refining Ground was placed further away, by the time He Song arrived, it would probably already be too late.
In Addition, if choosing to use this Place of Dense Yin Energy in Fallen Phoenix Province.
And personally going to Fallen Phoenix Prefecture to purchase the items he needed.
He Song's own Identity would also not be exposed at all.
After all, He Song was going to Fallen Phoenix Prefecture as a Golden Core True Lord Cultivator to purchase these Precious Materials.
At the same time, he would also change his Appearance and Form and reveal his Golden Core Realm Cultivation Level.
If his Cultivation Level hadn't reached the Golden Core Realm, purchasing the Materials He Song needed would probably be extremely difficult.
Although the Treasure Gathering Pavilion did not explicitly say anything.
But if He Song went to purchase these Materials with a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation Level, it would probably attract even more attention.
And if it was like He Song had deduced.
Using the Identity of a foreign Golden Core to purchase these Materials in Fallen Phoenix Prefecture would probably attract even less attention.
Fallen Phoenix Prefecture was located next to the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, and foreign Golden Cores were still very common.
In this situation, as long as He Song changed his Appearance and Form and Cultivation Aura, he would naturally be able to deceive everyone.
The people in Fallen Phoenix Prefecture would also never associate He Song with a Golden Core True Lord.
He Song had indeed already resided in Fallen Phoenix Prefecture for quite some Time.
During this Time, it could be said that He Song had already established a firm foothold in Fallen Phoenix Prefecture.
Thus, it was naturally impossible for anyone to associate him with a foreign Golden Core True Lord.
These Ideas flashed through his mind.
He Song soon made a decision.
Since directly going to Fallen Phoenix Prefecture to purchase the Materials he needed wouldn't cause any other consequences.
Moreover, it could also save him a lot of Trouble.
Subsequently, it would also be more convenient when Refining Puppets.
Then, he would do it this way.
Thinking This Way, He Song's direction of travel quietly changed towards Fallen Phoenix Prefecture.
Thus.
Until several days later.
He Song silently arrived at several hundred li outside Fallen Phoenix Prefecture.
However, after arriving at This Location, He Song didn't directly enter Fallen Phoenix Prefecture.
Instead, he went east towards Fallen Phoenix Prefecture again, traveling for several thousand li before turning back.
This approach.
Mainly because He Song wanted to pretend to be a Golden Core Cultivator who had arrived from elsewhere, rather than from Smoke Cloud Prefecture.
Foreign Golden Core Cultivators who appeared in Fallen Phoenix Province like this were basically all from the east.
To the east of Fallen Phoenix Prefecture was the Area of Influence of the Golden Snake Sect.
Further east, there were still other Core Formation Factions and Core Formation Sects.
Coming from the east, He Song could claim to be from a Nascent Soul Upper Sect or say he was from a Core Formation Sect.
All of He Song's current actions could actually make his Identity even more authentic.
After all, a Golden Core True Lord who had come all the way from the east was certainly an outsider.
As He Song turned back after moving several thousand li away from Fallen Phoenix Prefecture.
At the Same Time, He Song's Cultivation Aura quietly changed.
Originally, He Song's externally revealed Cultivation Level was Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.
But just as He Song traveled west towards Fallen Phoenix Prefecture.
His Cultivation Level also quietly changed to the Early Golden Core Stage at this moment.
Early Golden Core Stage.
Although his Cultivation Level was no longer considered strong in He Song's view.
But even so, in other people's eyes, he was still a genuine Golden Core True Lord.
Let alone wanting to purchase Precious Materials for Refining Golden Core Puppets in Fallen Phoenix Prefecture, a foreign Golden Core True Lord like this...
...even forcibly establishing a Golden Core Family in Fallen Phoenix Prefecture was actually possible.
In this situation, He Song's arrival would naturally attract the Attention of many Cultivators in Fallen Phoenix Prefecture.
But as He Song's Cultivation Aura was revealed at the Early Golden Core Stage, his Appearance and Form also subtly changed.
Soon, an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator quietly appeared.
The face He Song used this time was one he hadn't used before.
At the same time, He Song began to consider coming up with a false Cultivation Name for himself.
Naturally, he couldn't use any of the Cultivation Names he'd used before.
Whether it was True Lord Black Turtle, Flying Feather True Person, or even the Cultivation Name of True Person Condensing Yin he had used before, He Song abandoned them all.
This time, since he was going to pretend to be a Golden Core True Lord who had come from the east and was just passing by This Location.
After a little consideration, He Song came up with a Cultivation Name for himself.
"Then call me Perfected Person Ziyang."
"At sunrise, there's Dense Purple Qi, and the name Perfected Person Ziyang fits perfectly with the east."
After giving himself a false Cultivation Name to deal with This Event, He Song quietly headed towards Fallen Phoenix Prefecture.
Several hundred li outside Fallen Phoenix Prefecture.
As usual, He Song set up a Heavenly Divine Thunder Array at This Location.
Only then did he depart again and enter Fallen Phoenix Prefecture.
Arriving at Fallen Phoenix Prefecture with the Identity of a Golden Core True Lord, He Song saw many differences.
Previously, He Song had always traveled around Fallen Phoenix Prefecture with a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivation Level.
But now.
When He Song genuinely entered Fallen Phoenix Prefecture with a Golden Core True Lord Cultivation Level.
Wherever his gaze reached, all was scenery he hadn't been able to see in the past.
In the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
When He Song arrived at This Location with the Identity of a Golden Core True Lord, the Pavilion Lord of the Treasure Convergence Pavilion Main Branch here personally welcomed him and led him into the VIP Reception Hall.
It's important to know that in the past, when He Song came here with a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivation Level, he was only received by a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator.
Being welcomed personally by the Golden Core Pavilion Lord was enough to show the Treasure Gathering Pavilion's respect for every Golden Core customer.
He Song wasn't actually surprised by this.
He had broken through to the Golden Core Realm many years ago, and had naturally already experienced everything he expected to see.
This time, he had come with a purpose and had no intention of saying much more here.
Therefore.
After the two of them entered the VIP Reception Hall.
He Song soon presented a List.
On the List was a complete set of Precious Materials needed to refine a Grand Yin Puppet.
These Materials were all Recorded in the Greater Yin Puppet Technique.
Using these Materials for the Body, at least in the Golden Core Realm, almost no one would be able to inflict destructive damage on the Grand Yin Puppet refined by He Song.
However, Precisely Because Of This.
The Price of these Materials was also very expensive.
A set cost He Song nearly 100,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
But spending so many Spirit Stones, the effect was naturally evident.
As long as He Song genuinely fused these Materials into one and refined them into a Puppet Body, and then placed a Cultivator Golden Core inside.
Then he only needed to wait quietly until the day it came into being, and the Strength of this Golden Core Puppet would certainly be much more powerful than ordinary Puppets.
In Addition, these Materials were extremely difficult for Golden Core Cultivators to destroy.
In the future, when using this Golden Core Puppet, He Song wouldn't need to worry about it being destroyed and needing to be refined again.
With such a Puppet, He Song's Strength in the future would certainly undergo earth-shattering changes.
After all, a Golden Core Puppet with Golden Core Strength and unafraid of Golden Core Cultivator Attacks could cause Cultivators immense Trouble.
If you added He Song to the equation, probably not many Golden Core True Lords would be willing to fight him.
Fighting He Song would be almost like fighting two Golden Core True Lords at the same time.
Moreover, one of them would be a Golden Core Puppet unafraid of Golden Core Cultivator Attacks.
If a full-power strike was blocked by it.
Wouldn't that Golden Core True Lord fighting He Song probably be angered to the point of exploding?
After spending nearly 100,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones at the Treasure Convergence Pavilion Main Branch in Fallen Phoenix Prefecture to purchase enough Precious Materials for his use.
He Song turned and departed the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, leaving behind only the name of Perfected Person Ziyang.
No one was aware of what Perfected Person Ziyang had come here to do.
No one was aware of what Perfected Person Ziyang wanted to do with the things he purchased.
But Perfected Person Ziyang's Figure soon disappeared from sight after leaving Fallen Phoenix Prefecture.
All who had seen Perfected Person Ziyang only knew that he had stayed in Fallen Phoenix Prefecture for a while before heading west.
It seemed he had gone directly into the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons.
Thus.
Several days later.
When He Song's Figure reappeared, he was already located in a remote Corner to the east of Fallen Phoenix Province.
This Location was a huge Mountain Valley.
The Mountain Valley was deep and secluded, and very long and narrow.
Inside the Mountain Valley, the trees were lush and dense.
Above the Mountain Valley, there was still a large expanse of Mist that entirely obscured the sunlight.
And perhaps Precisely Because Of This, He Song had previously discovered vast Yin Energy here below the Mountain Valley.
Now that He Song had arrived here.
He had naturally come for the Yin Energy within.
Long ago, He Song had already used the Mist Veil Formation to cover This Location, in preparation for later use.
Now that everything was prepared and He Song himself had arrived at This Location again.
Next, he would naturally refine Puppets, place them at This Location, and have them nourished by Spirit Qi, Yin Energy, and Lunar Yin Power.
After arriving at This Location and setting up another Heavenly Divine Thunder Array outside the Mist Veil Formation to ensure the Safety of This Location.
He Song soon took out his Artifact Refining Room from his Storage Bag and began refining the Puppet Body.
Puppet Body.
Refining it wouldn't be too difficult.
With He Song's Attainment in Artifact Crafting, refining a Golden Core Puppet Body was actually not difficult.
However, if it were other Cultivators.
Even if they gathered all the Materials for Refining Golden Core Puppets, they would probably still need to bring a large amount of Spirit Stones to find Cultivators who could help them refine this object.
Only after paying the Price of a large amount of Spirit Stones could they request and get help from others to refine Golden Core Puppets.
Thus, the cost of Refining Golden Core Puppets would naturally increase a lot.
But He Song didn't need to do that.
He Song himself could easily utilize the large amount of Precious Materials he had purchased previously, spending nearly 100,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
In Addition to the Cultivator Golden Core he had purchased previously for 160,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, he would finally combine them into one and refine a Genuine Golden Core Puppet Body.
Once the Puppet Body was completely refined.
He Song then only needed to set up a Yin Gathering Formation at This Location to gather Lunar Yin Power and supply it for the Puppet to absorb.
Then he would set up a Yin-Yang Creation Formation to gather Yin Energy and Spirit Qi and supply it for the Puppet to absorb.
In Addition, he would also need to set up a Complete Spirit Gathering Formation to gather Spirit Qi and supply it for the Yin-Yang Creation Formation to absorb.
Finally, he would also need to set up a Heavenly Divine Thunder Array to ensure the Safety of This Location.
In this way.
As long as the Heavenly Divine Thunder Array remained unbroken, the Safety of This Location would naturally be guaranteed.
In Addition, although He Song had changed the functionality of the Yin-Yang Creation Formation somewhat.
But in reality, the effect of transforming the vast Yin Energy it absorbed into Evil Wind to kill enemies was still retained by He Song.
In other words.
Besides the Heavenly Divine Thunder Array guarding This Location.
Outside the Yin-Yang Creation Formation, there was also Evil Wind, which could guard This Location and protect it from the Influence of other Cultivators.
The specific situation was almost identical to what Daoist White Crane and the others had encountered in that Treasure Land previously.
