Spider Puppet

Seeing that Daoist Miaoyin remained silent, Lu Qingfeng did not try to evade the question and nodded, saying, "The future is fraught with danger and uncertainty. With the city lord accompanying me, I would be more Qingfeng happy to do so."

Upon hearing this, a stunningly beautiful smile appeared on the face of the Daoist Miaoyin.

Lu Qingshan glanced at it, his heart pounding, and he quickly lowered his head.

He chatted with the Daoist Miaoyin for a long time.

With a shared goal, their relationship undoubtedly took another step forward.

Through this period of contact, Lu Qingfeng was certain that Daoist Miaoyin came from the land of 'Three Mountains and Nine Rivers' and most likely crossed the Weeping Marsh.

Lu Qingfeng will definitely go to the cultivation world within five to ten years at the earliest.

Since they were unfamiliar with the place, with the guidance of the Daoist Miaoyin, he, Qingshan, and Qingyu could integrate more quickly.

For the Daoist Miaoyin

She came to Shangyang Country by luck, and she wasn't sure she could make it back to Three Mountains and Nine Rivers by walking through the Weeping Marsh again, so she placed her hopes on Lu Qingfeng.

Each has their own needs, so getting along is extremely pleasant.

Even disregarding the future, just for now, befriending Daoist Miaoyin brings Lu Qingfeng numerous benefits. Daoist Miaoyin has been operating in Shangyang Country for many years, and Miaoyin City has a renowned reputation.

It was thanks to her connections that Lu Qingfeng was able to collect all sorts of materials for alchemy and weapon crafting so easily.

Otherwise, if he were to rely solely on himself, he would not only waste his energy running around, but he might not even achieve such good results.

Especially the medicinal herbs used to refine high-grade and top-tier pills are very rare to find on the market. Only through the influence of Miaoyin City, and with Lu Qingfeng offering Talisman Artifact and pills as payment, were they able to be collected.

Today is different from the past.

Having destroyed the Return to Truth Sect and the War God Society, Lu Qingfeng now had enough confidence to reveal his alchemy and weapon-forging abilities. Unlike when he first arrived in Miaoyin City, he no longer dared to sell even low-level pills like Clear Spirit Powder and Essence-Nourishing Pill after weakening them.

Finally, I can start collecting all the resources needed for my cultivation.

However, although the Type 1 Town Destroyer is Second-Level Puppet, its raw materials are only those used to refine First-Level Puppet. Although the quantity is large, collecting them is not difficult.

However, with the successive destruction of the Return to Truth Sect and the War God Society, Lu Qingfeng's focus in refining puppets shifted from the second-tier puppet, the Truth-Destroying Type One, to higher-level puppets.

The fourth generation.

While exploring the mysteries of the Divine Path, he devoted a great deal of time to studying the crafting of new types of puppets.

Before his previous reincarnation, Lu Qingfeng specifically obtained the "True Scripture of Puppets" and the crafting methods for sixteen types of puppets from the Spirit Mechanisms Institute. During his subsequent reincarnation, Lu Qingfeng also broke through to the second level of the "Yellow Court Scripture," making his thinking even clearer and more agile.

In other words.

It means that one's comprehension has been enhanced.

Whether it's comprehending Cultivation Method or mastering alchemy and weapon crafting, the speed is far faster than in his third life. There's no need to redesign; simply following the crafting methods reduces the difficulty considerably.

In his previous life, Lu Qingfeng spent eighty-four years specializing in the Second-Level Puppet, the Truth-Destroying Type One.

From the very beginning of this life, he has been simultaneously studying four types of puppets, and has already mastered three of them. These include two Second-Level Puppet and one Third-Level Puppet. The fourth type is also Third-Level Puppet; although he successfully crafted it in the game, he is still working on mastering it.

Lu Qingfeng had already enhanced these puppets five times each.

Same as the Truth-Destroying Type One.

After the enhancement, Second-Level Puppet become Third-Level Puppet, Third-Level Puppet become Fourth-Level Puppet, but the materials used to craft them remain the same.

Even so, gathering these materials in reality is still difficult.

Most first-grade materials are found in ordinary places, such as iron, copper, and common animal sinews. Only precious metals like silver and gold can be considered valuable.

Although precious, it is also the most readily available.

However, secondary materials are much harder to collect.

Lu Qingfeng has been collecting materials since the end of the third life through the Daoist Miaoyin. It has been more than seven months now, but he has only managed to gather a little over two sets of second-level materials.

A maximum of two 'Spider Puppet' can be crafted.

[Puppet: Spider Puppet]

[Type: Autonomous Type]

Grade: Level 3

[Sensing range: 7,300 li]

[Combat Strength: Foundation Establishment Qi Guiding Realm]

[Functions: Can search and mine first-level materials such as gold, silver, copper, and iron within a 20-mile radius; can search and mine second-level materials such as Purple Stone, Mithril, and Origin Magnetic Core Iron within a 20-mile radius; can search and mine third-level materials such as Cloud Essence Stone and Millennium Rubber within a 20-mile radius... can search and mine Spirit Stone within a 20-mile radius...]

Spider Puppet!

The spider-shaped puppet, originally a level two, has been refined and strengthened to become Third-Level Puppet. Its combat power has increased to the Foundation Establishment Qi Guiding Realm, far surpassing the Truth-Destroying Type One.

However, compared to its functions, its combat power is merely secondary.

This Spider Puppet was designed by the Hundred Crafts Sect specifically for searching for various minerals and refining materials in the deep mountains.

The spider's form is adapted to complex mountainous terrain and also to more efficiently mine various ores and materials. Its chelicerae and pedipalps are specially designed, making it far more adept at digging and felling than a human.

Within the core rune array of the Spider Puppet, most of the runes are various sensing and identification runes.

These rune arrays allow for the searching and mining of 132 first-level materials, 71 second-level materials, 29 third-level materials, 7 fourth-level materials, 3 fifth-level materials, and 2 sixth-level materials.

The classification of material grades is a system developed by the Hundred Crafts Sect and is not universally accepted in the cultivation world.

The Hundred Crafts Sect has designated the materials necessary for crafting First-Level Puppet as first-level materials.

The materials necessary for crafting Second-Level Puppet are designated as level-two materials.

The materials required to craft Third-Level Puppet are designated as level 3 materials.

And so on.

The materials required to craft Sixth-Level Puppet are level 6 materials. If a material is required to craft both Third-Level Puppet and Fourth-Level Puppet, then it is classified as a level 3 material.

This simple and crude classification method is quite popular in the Eastern Victory Continent of Bingling World, and many weapon-refining sects and puppet-making sects follow the classification of the Hundred Crafts Sect.

The original level 2 Spider Puppet has a combat strength of the Ninth Layer True Qi Realm and can explore materials of all levels within a range of 500 meters.

After being enhanced by Lu Qingfeng, it became Third-Level Puppet, with a search range of twenty miles, twenty times its original range. This is only the radius; converted to area, it's a full four hundred times greater.

Lu Qingfeng wanted to refine a high-level puppet for self-defense, so materials were the most important thing.

Therefore, the first thing to master is the Spider Puppet.

Having mastered the craft in the game, the actual refining process went quite smoothly.

Lu Qingfeng had been refining the first Spider Puppet for nearly a month. Today, he only needed to inscribe the last few sets of rune arrays to Major Merit.

They saw off the Daoist Miaoyin.

Lu Qingfeng plunged into the weapon-refining cave abode.

About half an hour later, a large Spider Puppet, about three meters tall, crawled out of the weapon-refining cave abode. It was huge, but it moved quickly, and its eight legs were extremely agile in the mountainous terrain.

"It's still too bulky."

Lu Qingfeng walked out of the cave abode, looked at the Spider Puppet, and shook his head secretly.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Firstly, Lu Qingfeng didn't have the energy to make the changes.

Secondly, the Spider Puppet has inscribed a large number of rune arrays in order to search for more materials. With more rune arrays, its size naturally increases. To reduce the Spider Puppet's size, these rune arrays must be reduced, which means the types of materials it can search for must be decreased.

It's not worth the risk.

Furthermore,

Once the Spider Puppet discovers the presence of ore or other materials, it will mine them on the spot. Its enormous size is also to accommodate and hold more of the mined materials.

All things considered, there are gains and losses.
