Golden Immortal Puppet Talisman!

Su Xiaoqi arrived at Lu Changsheng's cave abode in a cheerful mood; her master was about to bestow another treasure upon her.

As expected, as soon as she arrived, Lu Changsheng immediately bestowed upon her an Immortal Sword.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi the Middle-Grade Supreme Treasure "Dragon-Shocking Sword," and have received Apprentice-Teaching Hundredfold Return Reward: the Top-Grade Supreme Treasure "Dragon-Slaying Sword."]

Lu Changsheng then gave away the returned Top-Grade Supreme Treasure.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi the Top-Grade Supreme Treasure "Dragon-Slaying Sword," and received the Disciple-Teaching Rebate reward: Sacred Artifact Fragment ×1.]

The Nine Heavens Sword Formation has still not been returned.

Lu Changsheng continued to bestow Immortal Swords as gifts.

Supreme-level Immortal Swords are truly rare. After Lu Changsheng had finished bestowing all the supreme-level Immortal Swords, he could only start bestowing Immortal Artifacts.

[Ding! You have bestowed the low-grade Immortal Sword "Like the Wind" upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi, and have received Apprentice-Teaching Hundredfold Return Reward: the Middle-Grade Immortal Sword "Misty Sea".]

Lu Changsheng gifted Su Xiaoqi a pile of Immortal Artifacts and accumulated a batch of supreme treasures, and then began to bestow rewards starting with the supreme treasures.

[Ding! You have bestowed the Low-Grade Supreme Treasure "Shadow-Follower" upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi, receiving the Disciple-Teaching Rebate reward: Sacred Artifact Fragment ×1.]

The Sacred Artifact Fragments were returned twice.

If the next return is also Sacred Artifact Fragment, then the chance to return the Sacred Artifact within these hundred years will be gone.

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi the Middle-Grade Supreme Treasure "Phantom Shadow Sword," and have received Ten-Thousandfold Return Reward mentoring: the Lower-Grade Sacred Artifact "Dark Dream."]

This time, instead of returning the Sacred Artifact Fragment, they returned an entire Sacred Artifact.

Although the Sacred Artifacts cannot be returned for the next hundred years, after a hundred years, Lu Changsheng can directly gift a Lower-Grade Sacred Artifact- level Divine Sword, and there is a high probability that a higher-grade Sacred Artifact will be returned.

Next, Lu Changsheng began to bestow other types of treasures.

Lu Changsheng took out a Talisman — Eleventh-Grade Talisman the "Mixed-Gold Puppet Talisman," which contained a Mixed-Gold Puppet Void Refinement Realm.

This type of Talisman has many uses. Lu Changsheng can manipulate puppets to scout ahead, and Lu Changsheng doesn't care if they are damaged.

More advanced puppets can even be used in combat.

Lu Changsheng wanted to see what level of Talisman he could ultimately return as a reward for the "Mixed-Gold Puppet Talisman".

If the returned Talisman contain puppets at the Earth Immortal or Heavenly Immortal level, then their value far surpasses that of puppets at the Void Refinement Realm.

For Loose Immortals, puppets at the Void Refinement Realm are basically only used for scouting, but puppets at the Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal levels are quite different.

Those puppets of that level possessed combat power equivalent to Elder of an ordinary Immortal Gate.

Lu Changsheng prepared ninety-nine Mixed-Gold Puppet Talisman.

These Talisman came from the Treasure Pavilion of Sage-Proving Mountain.

Immortal Gate of the level of Sage-Proving Mountain possesses a vast number of Eleventh-Grade Talisman, and its annual inventory continues to grow, far exceeding its capacity.

[Ding! You have bestowed the "Mixed-Gold Puppet Talisman" upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi, receiving a tenfold reward for mentoring: "Flamegold Puppet Talisman".]

[Flamegold Puppet Talisman: Twelfth-Rank Talisman containing a puppet at the Dao Integration Realm, crafted from materials such as Flame Stones produced in Wushuang City.]

Dao Integration Realm Puppet?

For Lu Changsheng at present, the Dao Integration Realm puppets are merely cannon fodder used for exploration.

Today's Disciple-Teaching Rebate was used up, and the next day, Lu Changsheng continued to bestow the Mixed-Gold Puppet Talisman.

Lu Changsheng bestowed ten Mixed-Gold Puppet Talisman as a reward, and the system returned nine Flamegold Puppet Talisman and one Heavenly Radiance Puppet Talisman.

[Heavenly Radiance Puppet Talisman: Thirteenth Grade Talisman containing a puppet at the Earth Immortal Realm, crafted from materials such as Heavenly Radiance Flame Iron.]

"The probability of returning a higher-level Talisman with this type of Talisman is not high..."

Lu Changsheng bestowed ten Mixed-Gold Puppet Talisman, only to return one Heavenly Radiance Puppet Talisman in return.

Over the next few days, Lu Changsheng bestowed all the Mixed-Gold Puppet Talisman upon Su Xiaoqi.

Ninety-nine Mixed-Gold Puppet Talisman were returned, including nine Rank Thirteenth Grade Heavenly Radiance Puppet Talisman and ninety Rank 12 Flamegold Puppet Talisman.

Su Xiaoqi was quite depressed.

Her master gave her ninety-nine Mixed-Gold Puppet Talisman, but she had no use for them at all.

However, Lu Changsheng then began to bestow Flamegold Puppet Talisman.

Lu Changsheng bestowed ninety Flamegold Puppet Talisman and nine Heavenly Radiance Puppet Talisman, and returned eighty Heavenly Radiance Puppet Talisman and twenty Divine Li Fire Divine Light Puppet Talisman.

[Li Fire Divine Light Puppet Talisman: Fourteenth Grade Talisman containing a puppet at the initial Heavenly Immortal Realm (ranging from Heavenly Immortal level one to four), crafted from materials such as Li Fire Divine Light Stone.]

Finally, Heavenly Immortal- level puppet has appeared.

Heavenly Immortal- level puppets possess combat power comparable to Heavenly Immortal, but are actually weaker than Xiuzhenzhe of the same realm.

After all, puppets are mass-produced tools with limited Cultivation Method, and require constant attention to operate.

Lu Changsheng took out a Li Fire Divine Light Puppet Talisman and bestowed it upon Su Xiaoqi.

[Ding! You have bestowed the "Li Fire Divine Light Puppet Talisman" upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi, and have received a twenty-fold reward for mentoring: "Sunflame Heavenly Puppet Talisman".]

[Sunflame Heavenly Puppet Talisman: Fifteenth Grade Talisman containing a puppet at the Heavenly Immortal Realm (ranging from Heavenly Immortal fourth to Nine Layers). This puppet is crafted from materials such as Solarflame Essence Gold and is indestructible.]

The Sunflame Heavenly Puppet Talisman that Lu Changsheng obtained contained a puppet at the fifth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

The puppet at the fifth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm has already been of some help to Lu Changsheng.

Of course, Lu Changsheng was not satisfied with this.

Lu Changsheng bestowed upon them one after another the Divine Light Talisman of Separation Fire.

Of the twenty Li Fire Divine Light Puppet Talisman, all that were returned were Sunflame Heavenly Puppet Talisman.

Lu Changsheng then distributed eighty more Heavenly Radiance Puppet Talisman rewards.

The Talisman that Lu Changsheng wanted was still not found.

Fortunately, Su Xiaoqi is Great Luo Golden Immortal, and can be rewarded with Fifteenth Grade Talisman at most.

Lu Changsheng bestowed the Sunflame Heavenly Puppet Talisman upon Su Xiaoqi.

[Ding! You have failed to reward Disciple-Teaching Rebate Disciple Su Xiaoqi with the "Sunflame Heavenly Puppet Talisman".]

Um?

Why was this Talisman bestowed as a reward, with no return of the prize money?

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but feel depressed.

Does the system not have any more advanced puppet-type Talisman?

Lu Changsheng was unwilling to give up, so he bestowed another one upon him.

[Ding! You have failed to reward Disciple-Teaching Rebate Disciple Su Xiaoqi with the "Sunflame Heavenly Puppet Talisman".]

It failed again.

Lu Changsheng frowned.

He didn't believe that a system that could return even Eighteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures the "Spirit-Gathering Rainbow Lotus" would only return puppet-type Talisman up to the Fifteenth Grade.

Lu Changsheng bestowed seventeen "Sunflame Heavenly Puppet Talisman," all of which failed.

"This is the last time I'll bestow the Sunflame Heavenly Puppet Talisman."

Lu Changsheng also couldn't withstand the continuous failures.

If the eighteenth Sunflame Heavenly Puppet Talisman also fails, it means that the system is very likely unable to return a higher-level Talisman.

[Ding! You have bestowed the "Sunflame Heavenly Puppet Talisman" upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi, receiving Ten-Thousandfold Return Reward teaching: "Golden Immortal Puppet Talisman".]

[Golden Immortal Puppet Talisman: Seventeenth-Rank Talisman containing a Great Luo Golden Immortal puppet (Second-Layer Great Luo Golden Immortal).]

As expected, the reward of puppet Talisman was not limited to returning Fifteenth Grade of the highest Talisman.

Lu Changsheng received a golden Talisman, his Divine Fire.

This Talisman contains a Great Luo Golden Immortal puppet!

This is equivalent to Lu Changsheng gaining a henchman at the Second-Layer Great Luo Golden Immortal.

After Su Xiaoqi obtained several hundred puppet Talisman, her master finally stopped bestowing these Talisman and instead rewarded her with other treasures.

Another hundred years passed.

This sword is named 'Dark Dream'.

Lu Changsheng bestowed upon Su Xiaoqi a purple immortal Immortal Sword as thin as a cicada's wing. This immortal Immortal Sword exuded an astonishing aura.

Su Xiaoqi excitedly accepted the immortal Immortal Sword.

This is a Lower-Grade Sacred Artifact!

[Ding! You have bestowed upon your Disciple Su Xiaoqi the Lower-Grade Sacred Artifact "Dark Dream," and have received Apprentice-Teaching Three-Hundredfold Return Reward: the Middle-Grade Sacred Artifact "Jade Heaven Immortal Sword."]

Through the Nine Heavens Sword Formation, Lu Changsheng obtained three immortal Immortal Swords.

Lu Changsheng looked with satisfaction at the azure immortal Immortal Sword that had appeared within his body.

[Jade Heaven Immortal Sword: Middle-Grade Sacred Artifact, a magical Law Treasure crafted by High Antiquity powerful being using a trace of Primordial Jade Qi and various rare Artifact Refining materials. It is the second sword of the "Nine Heavens Sword Formation."]

The Jade Heaven Immortal Sword is similar in style to the Azure Heaven Immortal Sword and the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword. They are all forged from primordial energy, but they contain Primordial Jade Qi, Primordial Azure Qi, and Primordial Purple Qi respectively.

Lu Changsheng attempted to manipulate three Middle-Grade Sacred Artifacts simultaneously.

Lu Changsheng not only had to consume three times his True Qi, but also had to separate three strands of his Divine Sense.

"Simultaneously wielding the Jade Heaven Immortal Sword, the Azure Heaven Immortal Sword, and the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword is my limit, and I can only maintain it for the time it takes to drink three cups of tea. I still need to improve my cultivation."

Lu Changsheng attempted to manipulate three immortal Immortal Swords simultaneously, and the three Immortal Swords frantically devoured Lu Changsheng's True Qi.

Maintaining Middle-Grade Sacred Artifact requires an enormous amount of True Qi; Lu Changsheng, currently at the third level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, is finding it difficult to withstand.

While Lu Changsheng was pushing his limits, Su Xiaoqi refined the Lower-Grade Sacred Artifact "Dark Dream".

Two hundred years later, Dugu Aotian was still being hunted down by the Ancestor Black Goat.

Ancestor Black Goat couldn't believe that he, a Great Demon at the Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, had been tricked by a Heavenly Immortal, so he relentlessly pursued him.

A dilapidated temple, long abandoned and overgrown with weeds.

A woman dressed in white and veiled sat alone in the courtyard, a guzheng in front of her. Her slender hands moved nimbly, and many spirit birds and Immortal Deer gathered around her. The scene was serene and peaceful.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi seemed to be naturally attracted, continuously flowing into the woman's body.

Suddenly, a cloud of Devil Qi flew in from afar and landed inside the dilapidated temple.

The spirit birds and Immortal Deer, frightened by the Devil Qi, scattered in all directions.

The veiled woman, upon seeing the handsome face of the person amidst the Devil Qi, exclaimed in surprise, "It's you?!"

"You?"

Dugu Aotian was also taken aback.

He tried every means to escape the pursuit of the Ancestor Black Goat, but the Ancestor Black Goat always found a way to locate Dugu Aotian's approximate position.

Dugu Aotian accidentally stumbled into this abandoned temple and unexpectedly encountered Liu Yiyi, the Yaochi Saintess, whom he had met in Wushuang City.

Both of them were somewhat surprised and embarrassed, and were speechless.

"Father predicted that I would have an encounter here, so he sent me down the mountain alone. How could I have encountered him? Could this be the encounter Father spoke of? Impossible, he's Great Demon..."

Liu Yiyi struggled internally, thinking that Dugu Aotian was the only outsider who had ever seen her face and her jade-like shoulders, and that her father considered it an unexpected encounter. Liu Yiyi's pretty face flushed red.

Dugu Aotian walked step by step toward Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi couldn't help but feel nervous. "Why... why are you here? What do you want? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Dugu Aotian was also puzzled; he was just about to ask why Liu Yiyi was here.

However, Ancestor Black Goat might come after us at any moment, and now is not the time to dwell on past matters with Liu Yiyi: "My Immortal Maiden, a powerful enemy is chasing me from behind. You should leave as soon as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire."

"You must have done something wrong to be hunted down by the righteous sects, right? I'm different from you; I don't need to fear them."

Liu Yiyi pouted; she still believed that Dugu Aotian was a member of the Demon Sects.

It's not Liu Yiyi's fault. After all, Dugu Aotian possessed the Devil Ancestor Dao Body. It could be said that Dugu Aotian was one of the most talented among all the Great Demons, and his Devil Cultivation Method were extremely pure. No matter how you looked at it, he was a member of the Demon Sects sect.

"You won't be leaving."

Several more Devil Qi landed on the dilapidated temple. The Ancestor Black Goat, along with several Elders of the Demon Sects, surrounded Dugu Aotian and Liu Yiyi.

Dugu Aotian's expression was serious; he knew that another fierce battle was about to begin.

Ancestor Black Goat's cultivation level was too high; Dugu Aotian was no match for him.

He glanced at Liu Yiyi Yu Guang of his eye.

Since their parting at Wushuang City, Liu Yiyi has advanced from the Earth Immortal Realm Ninth Layer to the fifth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, not much slower than his progress.

Therefore, it's clear that Liu Yiyi's identity is definitely not simple.

Dugu Aotian was unaware that Liu Yiyi was the Yaochi Saintess; he only knew that this woman had an extraordinary background.

As the Yaochi Saintess, Liu Yiyi's Cultivation Resources are incomparable to those of ordinary cultivators.

More importantly, Liu Yiyi's Immortal Spirit Sacred Body is rapidly absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and earth every second, refining it into her own True Qi, making her cultivation speed incredibly fast.

Each Special Physique has its own advantages, and the greatest advantage of the Immortal Spirit Sacred Body is its extremely fast cultivation speed.

This is also why Liu Yiyi became the Saintess of Yaochi Holy Land.

Dugu Aotian was unaware of the reasons behind this, only knowing that if he joined forces with Liu Yiyi, they would have a chance to defeat the Ancestor Black Goat.

Ancestor Black Goat Xuan Yang glanced at the mysterious Liu Yiyi, who was merely a Heavenly Immortal: "I didn't expect you to have accomplices, but since you killed my son, I will kill you all."

"Ancestor Black Goat?"

Liu Yiyi recognized the Demon who was chasing Dugu Aotian.

Ancestor Black Goat, a somewhat notorious Demon, enjoys absorbing the golden cores of weak cultivators.

The Ancestor Black Goat backed by the Demon Sect's Senluo Hall, which is why it's difficult for any of the major Immortal Gate to eliminate him.

But why would the wicked Ancestor Black Goat hunt down Dugu Aotian?

Are they double-crossing each other?

It seems that Ancestor Black Goat considers her to be an accomplice of Dugu Aotian, so he has no choice but to join forces with Dugu Aotian now.

She couldn't possibly reveal her identity to the Ancestor Black Goat.

Even the Ancestor Black Goat was not qualified to know her identity.

Liu Yiyi put away her guzheng, drew her Long Sword, and stood back-to-back with Dugu Aotian to face the Ancestor Black Goat and the four Elders of the Demon Sects: "You helped me last time, and I'll help you this time. But good and evil cannot coexist, so from now on, we'll part ways."

"Good."

Dugu Aotian was often mistaken for Demon, but he didn't care. He just wanted to get through the immediate crisis first.

Although both of them were only at the fifth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the Ancestor Black Goat was not as strong as the Green Ox King. Among the Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortals, they were only average. If these two Peerless Genius joined forces, they would definitely be able to fight.
