What left Qin Fengming utterly speechless was that, even after a painstakingly thorough inspection, he had failed to find anywhere on the Puppet's massive body to replace its crystals.
Puppets served as auxiliary helpers. Given the difficulty of refining them and the precious materials they required, they were certainly not meant to be used once and then left gathering dust on a high shelf.
Although Qin Fengming's Blazing Sun Pearls were single-use treasures, refining them merely required a large quantity of precious materials. A peak Nascent Soul Puppet, however, required not only many precious materials but also a powerful peak Nascent Soul spirit sealed within it.
Having a low-level spirit control such a Puppet would be no different from sending a child into battle wielding an unrivaled divine weapon. It would be a wanton waste of a heavenly treasure, unable to unleash even a tenth of its strength.
Qin Fengming would never believe that something so powerful had no place to replace its crystals, even if someone beat him to death.
"Brother, perhaps the crystals are housed in this Puppet's head or its feet." Standing nearby and watching Qin Fengming search the Puppet, Bing'er naturally knew what he was looking for. Her lovely eyes focused as she offered the suggestion.
From what Qin Fengming knew of puppet refining, no one would choose the head or feet as a place to replace Spirit Stones. Still, since Bing'er had suggested it, he pushed with both hands and laid the towering Puppet, nearly twenty feet tall, on the stone floor.
"Oh? There really might be something here." After examining the Puppet's head for only a moment, Qin Fengming noticed something unusual and could not help murmuring in surprise.
The immense power of his divine sense surged out, immediately enveloping the Puppet's entire head.
