Key Plot Points and Events

• Lu Wu leaves Qing Tong Residence emotionally shaken after witnessing the power of Lingguang No. 1. His reaction briefly worries the protagonist, but he soon regains control.

Even all known reserves would produce fewer than eighty additional puppets, while Lingguang Essence is also needed for formations, recovery, and replacing Immortal Fate Stones.

It contains Azure Thunder and a dragon soul, granting body-tempering, purification, and strong effectiveness against hostile energies and Soul Spirit-type enemies. However, its damaged spirituality and weakened internal seal must be repaired before safe use.

• Resource limitations: Even extraordinary breakthroughs depend on rare materials. Lingguang Essence is powerful but scarce, forcing the protagonist to balance puppet production, formations, and personal recovery.

• Hidden potential in neglected treasures: Items initially believed to be mediocre can possess extraordinary abilities once properly refined and understood.
