A dense crowd of little paper figures came into view.
These paper figures are the size of a palm, made of tough paper strips as frames and colored papers as skins. The eyebrows and eyes are painted so vividly that they look just like real people.
Among them are young scholars holding books, old farmers carrying hoes on their shoulders, generals riding horses in armor and holding swords. It seems that all kinds of life in the world are gathered in the cabinet.
Le Yangan, a fair-faced middle-aged man in his forties, was looking at the cabinet full of paper figurines with a kind face. He looked as if he was looking at his own children!
Chen Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
You are a warm-hearted man in your forties, and you actually like to hoard paper figurines? !
Isn't the contrast too big for you?
"Look at my paper figurine and see if it's complete."
"I have observed people from all walks of life for a long time, and carefully carved them out, and finally I have gathered them all." As he spoke, a look of complacency inadvertently crept onto Le Yangan's face.
Did not expect ah did not expect.
You are such a happy boss?!
"What's the use of this paper man?" Chen Mu asked tentatively.
"Of course he will fight for us."
"You are a Taoist Qigong practitioner, have you never heard of the Yellow Turban Warrior?"
"This paper figure is the Yellow Turban Warrior from Yin Ling."
As he said this, he picked up the armored general and threw him into the air. With a hidden fluctuation of divine power, the paper man suddenly grew larger in the air.
There was a bang.
A general on horseback, wearing armor and holding a thick-backed long sword suddenly appeared in front of Chen Mu.
There was no trace of a paper figurine on the other person, he looked completely like a living person. The white-haired horse, also wearing armor, could even emit white mist and hot air when it snorted, looking very lifelike!
And the general on horseback, with his sword raised high, Chen Mu actually felt a fierce and ferocious feeling that seemed to be real? !
"I want this!"
Chen Mu was immediately overjoyed.
He saw clearly that the paper figure was similar to the Yellow Turban Warrior Talisman and could be used as a carrier of Yin Ling's divine power. The Yin Ling's divine power, which was originally only able to chant the Dew Gathering Mantra, suddenly became infinitely powerful.
Whoosh!
The light and shadow in the air rotated and shrank, and the armored general turned into a paper man again and flew back into Le Yangan's hands.
"Yes, I do." He said with a smile, "Please go out and turn left. The paper figurines sold in the shop three hundred meters away are made of solid materials and are reasonably priced. You can go there and buy some."
"Then you..."
"Not for sale!"
"For personal enjoyment only!"
Chen Mu: “…”
Tsk!
……
In the south of Jiugu City, there is a secret room underground in Chen Mu’s courtyard.
He sat on the couch, looking at the five little paper figures in front of him, and felt something was not right no matter how he looked at them.
"Boss Le's collection still has the charm."
Driven by the power of the Yin spirit, five people about 1.7 meters tall, wearing gray clothes and shorts, with dull faces appeared in the secret room.
Chen Mu switched to his true form, and five paper ghosts appeared. They immediately turned into black smoke and drilled into the mouths and noses of the five people.
The expressions on the five people's faces suddenly became lively, and there was an obvious sense of decisive power in their every move.
"It works!" Chen Mu couldn't help but clench his fist.
The Five Ghosts Paper Figures are ghosts and spirits, and they can perfectly adapt to the underworld. With paper figures as carriers, they can appear openly.
The ordinary paper figure, which originally had limited abilities, suddenly became a killer after being possessed by the five paper ghost figures.
"Now, even if I don't reveal my true body and magical power, it will be enough to deal with most difficulties and ensure my safety."
Satisfied with putting away the paper man, Chen Mu switched back to his true form as a celestial demon.
While practicing magic power these past few days, he suddenly had an idea. Now that he had to practice the magical power and ghost pattern, it was a good opportunity to test it out.
Along with the strange spell, a handful of black flames suddenly appeared in the palm of his right hand.
Half an hour later, the flames began to rage and spread along the arms.
Chen Mu calmly put out the flames with the water from the Wangchuan River. After waiting for his broken body to recover on its own, he immediately switched back to his real flesh and blood body.
Then he grabbed a handful of jade dew and held it.
Restore the soul to its original state!
A warm energy suddenly surged into his body, and under his intentional control, it quickly penetrated into the secret acupoint between his eyebrows and disappeared.
When the jade dew column in his palm turned into powder, he switched back to the form of a Yin spirit.
At this time, the Yin spirit's divine power that had been dissipated due to repairing its missing limbs had been replenished, and the total amount was even a little more than before!
"Alright!" Chen Mu couldn't help but clench his fist.
"The Yinming Jade Dew is indeed the essence of blood, flesh and energy!"
"With the Soul-Restoring and Essence-Restoring skills, I can quickly strengthen my body and replenish my essence. This way, I won't be afraid of the dangers of the Flying Flame Sutra!"
"As long as I have enough Jade Dew and Forgotten River water, I can practice continuously!"
"If we can cultivate the magical ghost pattern before going to war, wouldn't we be able to avoid the soul-summoning banner?"
"Ha ha!"

Chapter 435 Reappearance
Half a month later.
Yupinxuan in the south of Jigu City.
"Is it still the water of the Wangchuan River?" Le Yangan raised his eyebrows: "Take it easy, the blue flame is dangerous, don't hurt the source."
"Don't worry." Chen Mu waved his hand confidently: "How much inventory do you have? I'll buy more."
He has the Soul-Restoring and Origin-Restoring Technique to strengthen his foundation and nourish his essence, so he is not afraid of damaging his essence at all.
He only needed to buy a large amount of water from the Forgotten River and consider how to quickly extinguish the rioting green flames.
"I don't have much." Le Yangan was a little embarrassed: "Recently everyone is busy preparing for the expedition, and several old customers have no time to practice magic."
The Forgotten River is right there, can't we just run over and scoop it out with a ladle? Do we still need to condense it?
Le Yang'an smiled and took out a jade gourd, controlling a ball of Wangchuan River water the size of an egg to float in the air.
"look carefully."
Chen Mu didn't understand why, but as he watched, he discovered that the water from the Forgetful River was slowly dissipating.
It was not evaporating into gas, but it was as if there was a gap in the air and the river water was slowly leaking into it.
“Unless you cast a spell to condense and isolate it, the water will soon disappear after you leave the Forgotten River.” Le Yangan spread his hands.
Chen Mu's heart moved.
He had used the water from the Wangchuan River to extinguish the blue flames before, and the water would turn into white mist and dissipate. He originally thought that it had turned into water vapor, but now that he thought about it, the water that turned into white mist might also dissipate out of thin air like the water mass in front of him.
"How could this be?" Chen Mu became interested.
"It is said that the Forgotten River is a self-contained entity. The water that leaves the Forgotten River will automatically return to the river, so it needs to be isolated and condensed by secret methods." Le Yangan shrugged.
"Of course, it will disappear, and it can also be summoned on the spot."
"If you really need a lot of Forgotten River water, you might as well buy a secret method. You don't need to go to the Forgotten River. You can collect and condense it at home."
"Your suggestion is very good, but unfortunately I don't have time." Chen Mu sighed.
The expedition of Jigu City was imminent, and he had to think more about how to protect himself in the upcoming war. He had no extra energy to learn the secret method of condensing the water of Wangchuan River.
"Fortunately, the ghost pattern training is not without progress."
Being burned by the blue flames again and again, the upper limit of Yin Ling's divine power continued to increase. With more divine power, he could make more jade dew beads. This would support him to buy a large amount of Wangchuan River water and practice unscrupulously.
"Boss Le has lived in the underworld for a long time. Do you know anything about the auxiliary troops of Jiugu City?"
After buying all the Wangchuan River water from Yupinxuan, Chen Mu did not leave in a hurry, but instead inquired about the news of the city north camp.
"Brother Chen, don't worry too much." Le Yangan comforted.
"The new ghost only knows how to perform the Dew Gathering Spell, and may not even be able to afford a paper human figure."
"The Lord of Jiugu City is kind and merciful. He will not let you do anything too dangerous."
"Moreover, if the new Yin spirit wants to go to the battlefield, there may be many people who disagree." Le Yangan suddenly laughed as if he thought of something.
What do you mean?
Chen Mu was a little confused after hearing this.
"Military merit." Le Yang'an continued.
"High-end secret magic medicines can all be exchanged for military merits. It is said that it can also help you comprehend the origin of the stone tablet and speed up your cultivation."
"It is rumored that the Lord of Jigu City started out as a small Yin soldier, accumulating military merits to improve his strength, and step by step to where he is today."
"Many people are scrambling to go to the battlefield. If you want to go, you might have to pay."
Is there anyone who wants to fight?
What a good thing!
Chen Mu was happy.
"That is to say..."
