Truth Destroyer Type-1!

Lu Qingfeng named his first successfully refined miniature puppet, 'Truth Destroyer Type-1'.

Firstly, it represents his determination to destroy the Returning Truth Sect.

Secondly, the word 'Destroy' indicates that the Truth Destroyer Type-1 is an offensive puppet!

"The Truth Destroyer Type-1 is a physical attack puppet. Its legs are inscribed with stabilizing and speed formations, its arms with giant strength formations, and its eyes with clarity and precision formations. Internal spiritual energy gathers to enhance these formations."

"In the future, the Truth Destroyer Type-1 can be equipped with bows and arrows, developing it into a ranged physical attacker. Alternatively, its internal formations can be fine-tuned, and martial arts can be inscribed on the Thousand Mechanism Stone and within its body, making it a close-combat puppet! Or, spell formations can be inscribed, turning it into a ranged spell puppet."

Lu Qingfeng has a very detailed plan for the Truth Destroyer Type-1's development.

In fact,

the vast majority of failures in his puppet refining research over the years have been due to flaws in Lu Qingfeng's design concepts.

Puppets refined according to his designs often failed due to formation compatibility issues, or were too weak defensively and broke easily. Or, if they were strong defensively, they were too clumsy and inflexible.

After numerous experiments and modifications, he finally arrived at the relatively balanced and complete work that is the 'Truth Destroyer Type-1'.

Of course,

even with the design of the 'Truth Destroyer Type-1', Lu Qingfeng would need hundreds, even thousands, of failures to master its refinement.

It must be said, this is another huge investment.

However, with the 'Truth Destroyer Type-1' design successful, the most difficult step is complete.

The issue of proficiency is now insignificant.

At least, even if a mistake in a certain step leads to refinement failure, the previously refined components are always reusable, greatly reducing waste.

"Next, while refining the 'Truth Destroyer Type-1', I will also master the refinement of several Talisman Artifacts that complement it, such as bows and arrows, longswords, spears, and shields. Different Talisman Artifacts require slight adjustments to the internal formations of the Truth Destroyer Type-1, but these adjustments are not difficult."

"At the same time, I can also strengthen the overall 'Truth Destroyer Type-1'!"

With a thought, Lu Qingfeng shifted his perspective. The Truth Destroyer Type-1 darted towards him in a few quick steps, its speed not slow.

Huang Tiangu's research on miniature puppets mostly focused on Level 1 (Fetal Respiration Realm level) and Level 2 (True Qi Stage level). He slightly improved the Thousand Mechanism Stone, enabling short-range control of the puppets through it.

Until Huang Tiangu disappeared without a trace, this 'short-range' remained at 'five zhang'.

"I separately extracted the Thousand Mechanism Stone refining method from the Huang's Puppet Manual, and merged it with three common Thousand Mechanism Stone refining methods circulating on the market, taking the best of each, and then strengthened it twice."

"After the fusion, the control distance increased from five zhang to ten zhang."

"The first strengthening increased it from ten zhang to one hundred zhang."

"The second strengthening increased it from one hundred zhang to one thousand zhang."

"Yet I still haven't deduced a Thousand Mechanism Stone that can be autonomously controlled according to commands."

The methods of deduction are flexible and varied.

Like the Huang's Puppet Manual, it can be deduced as a whole, or strengthened, fused, or improved.

Due to its special nature, it can also be broken down. For example, the refining method of the core Thousand Mechanism Stone can be strengthened separately, or the Spirit Pivot Formation, Spirit Control Formation, etc.

The separately strengthened Thousand Mechanism Stone refining method, after three fusions and two strengthenings, resulted in a great improvement in the quality of the Thousand Mechanism Stone produced by the method.

Even if the Spirit Control Formation was not strengthened, the control range increased from five zhang to one thousand zhang, a practically earth-shattering improvement in practicality.

But this did not meet Lu Qingfeng's expectations.

A person's mental energy is limited.

Ordinary people can only focus on controlling one or two puppets, but cannot simultaneously and accurately control ten or a hundred puppets. Even Lu Qingfeng, who has reached the True Qi Stage, would not dare to say that he can control three or five puppets as easily as his own limbs.

And three or five puppets are far from meeting Lu Qingfeng's requirement for a 'puppet sea'.

"The most exquisite method for refining the Thousand Mechanism Stone is hidden in the Hundred Crafts Sect, inaccessible to non-core disciples and non-Spirit Void Realm cultivators. But the Thousand Mechanism Stone refined by my twice-strengthened method, even if it can't compare to the Hundred Crafts Sect's, shouldn't be too far off."

"Perhaps, the crux of puppet self-control lies not only in the Thousand Mechanism Stone, but the Spirit Control Formation inscribed within it is the core key."

Lu Qingfeng has been studying puppets for over a decade and has long since summarized a set of experiences.

First of all.

A Puppet is a whole. If one were to strengthen a single part or a certain set of Talisman Artifacts, it would cause an overall imbalance in the Puppet, leading to various problems.

Lu Qingfeng had stumbled and suffered losses in this regard, so he was particularly cautious.

The refining method of the Thousand Mechanism Stone is one of the few aspects of Puppet refining that has only positive effects and no negative effects.

The Spirit Control Formation, inscribed within the Thousand Mechanism Stone, may be different from the Spirit Pivot Formation, the Power Talisman Artifact, the Speed Talisman Artifact, and so on, but it can also be strengthened independently.

"First, strengthen the Spirit Control Formation independently once, then refine the 'Truth Destroyer Type-1' to see if it's as I think. If strengthening the Spirit Control Formation can really allow the 'Truth Destroyer Type-1' to achieve autonomous control, that would be for the best."

All guesses must be verified through experiments.

Lu Qingfeng spent 10 experience points to strengthen the Spirit Control Formation once.

Modifying the Spirit Control Formation was the simplest.

There was no need to refine the Puppet again. Just disassemble the 'Truth Destroyer Type-1', take out the Thousand Mechanism Stone, erase the original Spirit Control Formation within, and inscribe the strengthened Spirit Control Formation.

The experimental results made Lu Qingfeng overjoyed!

First, the Truth Destroyer Type-1 did not show any negative effects from strengthening the Spirit Control Formation.

Second, the reaction speed of the Truth Destroyer Type-1 greatly increased.

This was within Lu Qingfeng's expectations.

After all, the Spirit Control Formation is equivalent to the control center of the Puppet, equivalent to the soul of a person. If the soul is strengthened, the reaction speed will naturally increase greatly.

"The Spirit Control Formation has been upgraded from forty sets of Talisman Artifacts to sixty sets of Talisman Artifacts, and the sensing range has increased from three thousand feet to six thousand feet, making it more flexible to control!"

"It seems the direction is right!"

Lu Qingfeng entered and exited the Black Sand Artifact Refining Room, testing the sensing range of the Truth Destroyer Type-1, and the smile on his face grew even wider.

"Continue to strengthen!"

The second strengthening increased the Spirit Control Formation from sixty sets of Talisman Artifacts to eighty sets, and the sensing range of the Truth Destroyer Type-1 increased from six thousand feet to nine thousand feet, making it more flexible to control!

The third strengthening increased the Spirit Control Formation from eighty sets of Talisman Artifacts to one hundred sets, and the sensing range of the Truth Destroyer Type-1 increased from nine thousand feet to twelve thousand feet, and—

"Finally, it can recognize commands and be controlled autonomously!"

Lu Qingfeng's mind moved, issuing a command—

Turn around!

This time, Lu Qingfeng did not enter with his consciousness, but simply issued a command through the connection with the Spirit Control Formation, and the Truth Destroyer Type-1 actually turned around in place!

Throw a punch!

Run!

Jump!

Every command issued by Lu Qingfeng could be completed quickly and accurately by the Truth Destroyer Type-1.

"Attack me!"

Lu Qingfeng tried a complex command.

The Truth Destroyer Type-1 moved its feet and actually rushed towards Lu Qingfeng, throwing a punch!
