On the Road

Besides the Frost Ice Toad's merits, the resolute character of the Daoist Miaoyin Daoist was also an important reason.

After entering the Weeping Marsh, the Daoist Miaoyin tamed the Silver-Armored Horned Python and the Two-Headed Wu in succession, which allowed him to safely cross the swamp.

After arriving in Shangyang Country, the cold poison plagued her, preventing Daoist Miaoyin from using her full strength. Coupled with her knowledge of the Weeping Marsh, she longed to return, but hesitated to set off.

It wasn't until Lu Qingfeng appeared that they saw hope and took the initiative to befriend him.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but admire the luck of the Daoist Miaoyin.

First, she found the cave abode of a senior master and obtained the inheritance of beast taming. After entering the Weeping Marsh, she actually managed to reach the Shangyang Country despite the slim chance of success.

More importantly, after spending a full forty-one years in Shangyang Country, and seeing no hope of ever returning to the Sunset Glow Sect in this lifetime, she encountered him again.

"What great luck!"

Lu Qingfeng looked at Daoist Miaoyin and sighed inwardly.

After speaking, Daoist Miaoyin chuckled at Lu Qingfeng, "You know my background, what about yours?"

"I?"

Lu Qingfeng shook his head. "My legendary experience can't compare to that of the city lord. I just received the inheritance of a senior in Blackwood Village, and then, with my good aptitude, I mastered alchemy and weapon crafting. Before meeting the city lord, I didn't even know that there was a vast world outside of Shangyang Country."

That's just making things up.

Being able to log into "Primordial World" is Lu Qingfeng's biggest secret. Even Qingshan and Qingyu only know that their eldest brother sleeps a lot every day and can master many cultivation techniques in his dreams. He also learned alchemy and weapon crafting from his dreams.

But they were unaware of the existence of "Primordial World".

Lu Qingfeng was even less likely to tell Daoist Miaoyin. However, for Lu Qingfeng, obtaining the "Primordial World" was no different from inheriting a senior's legacy.

This legacy comes from an entire world!

"The legacy passed down from our predecessors?"

Daoist Miaoyin slightly pursed his lips, realizing that Lu Qingfeng didn't want to elaborate, so he didn't press the matter.

The two chatted casually, with Lu Qingfeng mostly asking about the situation in the Biyang Lake area.

It took Daoist Miaoyin a full eight years to cross the Weeping Marsh. Even with puppets scouting ahead, Lu Qingfeng wouldn't be able to reach Biyang Lake in less than a few years.

Fortunately, Lu Qingfeng wasn't in a hurry.

The Biyang Lake region is teeming with powerful individuals and teeming with demons. With his current strength, he would have little chance of protecting himself there. It would be better to use this time on his journey to improve his cultivation and search for more spirit ores and puppet materials in the Weeping Marsh to forge stronger puppets.

To increase their ability to protect themselves.

In the game, during the fourth lifetime of three hundred years (equivalent to three years in reality), Lu Qingfeng crafted a total of four Giant Tortoise Puppet and fifteen Spider Puppet. In his spare time, he also crafted ten Truth-Destroying Type One puppets.

Including the previous fifteen Type Truth-Destroying Type One, the total should have been twenty-five.

However, due to the exploration of the Shangyang Country, the Truth-Destroying Type One was damaged, and now only seventeen remain.

Ten were left behind to guard the Azure Origin Sword Sect, ensuring its survival and the continuation of its Incense Offerings. The remaining seven Truth-Destroying Type One bodies ventured deep into the Weeping Marsh to explore the path to Biyang Lake.

As they ventured deeper, the fifteen Spider Puppet gradually discovered more and more high-level materials. Lu Qingfeng instructed the Spider Puppet to prioritize mining various level-two materials and to refine Spider Puppet as well.

As the saying goes, sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting.

The more Spider Puppet there are, the larger the area they can cover, providing Lu Qingfeng with a continuous supply of various refining materials.

Lu Qingfeng continuously improved his proficiency in the game, and with sufficient materials, he could forge a Spider Puppet in about half a month.

However, due to the limited availability of materials, it actually takes a month to refine one.

Not to mention other types of puppets.

Therefore, it is necessary to expand the scale of the Spider Puppet.

Furthermore, the materials for refining the advanced Thousand Mechanisms Stone must be prioritized. The distance of 7,300 li is insurmountable, even beyond the reach of the Weeping Marsh; increasing the sensing range is urgently needed.

In this way.

After Lu Qingfeng entered the Weeping Marsh, it was no different from when he was in Shangyang Country.

He continued to cultivate, refine pills, and forge weapons every day.

The Giant Tortoise Puppet can continue to advance during cultivation, but once enough materials are gathered, the puppet crafting process will stop.

The Weeping Marsh contains low-level Demon Beast that recklessly attack, providing Lu Qingfeng with a lot of puppet materials and also giving Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu opponents to hone their combat skills.

While in Shangyang Country, the two were protected by Lu Qingfeng and had puppets for self-defense, so they never fought against humans or demons. On the path of cultivation, complete ignorance of combat is certainly unacceptable.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Lu Qingfeng used the Demon Beast in the Weeping Marsh to hone the combat skills of the two of them.

He had consciously practiced combat in "Primordial World" and mastered many mid-to -High-Grade Spell, which he then passed on to them.

The two did not have much time to practice too many Technique Method.

Lu Qingfeng taught him only the strongest Technique Method he had mastered.

Examples include the Transcendent-Grade Spell"Flowerstride, "the High-Grade Spell"Heaven's Eye Technique" and "Golden Light Technique," and the Mid-Grade Spell"Qi-Concealing Technique," "Concealment Technique," and "Entangling Technique."

These Technique Method, combined with the Luofu Sword Luofu Sword Qi inherent in the Luofu Sword Canon, are enough to make them invincible in the Postnatal Realm, whether for attack, defense, or escape.

In the swamp.

The Giant Tortoise Puppet is not fast, traveling at most two hundred li per day. Sometimes, when Demon Beast block its path, or Lu Qingfeng is crafting puppets, it may travel less than fifty li per day.

Of these two hundred or fifty li, less than half is actually effective.

Lu Qingfeng could control the general direction based on his connection with the puppet. However, the actual progress couldn't be a straight line.

The first 7,300 miles into the Weeping Marsh are relatively easy to traverse.

With the Truth-Destroying Type One having scouted ahead, and after repeated confirmation, Lu Qingfeng would choose the smoothest route to proceed. Even so, due to uncontrollable animal migrations, sudden rises in water levels, and other factors, many obstacles would arise.

Fortunately, the Giant Tortoise Puppet is amphibious, able to move on both land and water.

Unfortunately, the Chengyang River has a rapid current, and the water level drops of tens or hundreds of feet along its westward flow are enough to deter anyone from trying to travel downstream to the Chengyang River Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.

The Chengyang River is even home to various aquatic creatures and water Demon Beast, making it far more dangerous than the Weeping Marsh.

There's no rush on the journey.

While controlling the Truth-Destroying Type One and the Spider Puppet to explore ahead, Lu Qingfeng also rode the Giant Tortoise Puppet deeper into the territory. At the same time, he was also refining more puppets.

The Weeping Marsh, near the Shangyang Country, has slightly stronger Spiritual Qi, but it is still limited. Most of the Demon Beast living there are of the first or second rank, and third-rank Demon Beast are rarely encountered.

With the Giant Tortoise Puppet present, a barrage of lightning and fire would immediately scatter the horde of second-tier Demon Beasts.

As they delve deeper, and as the number of puppets increases—

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
