A Mountain Dweller Has His Own Clever Plans

"You've really made a big fuss... wiping out the Evil Bone Sect without a sound."

After hearing the news of the Evil Bone Sect's annihilation, Su Qian came looking for them.

Qin Yu's actions were truly unexpected.

With the Evil Bone Sect destroyed, Han Feng's influence increased dramatically.

Currently, the number of powerful individuals in Han Feng's "Feng Alliance" is no less than that of the Jia Nan Academy!

Moreover, it is said that the Elder Yingshan, who has been living in seclusion for many years, has also joined the Feng Alliance.

"Don't worry, Elder. Once I've refined the Heavenly Demon Puppet, I can begin to destroy the Feng Alliance."

Qin Yu was overjoyed that Han Feng had managed to gather this group of people from the Black-Corner Region.

After killing the Bone Old Demon, Qin Yu had another Dou Zong- level corpse in his possession.

If we take down a few more Dou Zong, we can refine a few more Heavenly Demon Puppet, right?

Although Seventh-Tier Magical Core are quite rare, Qin Yu reasoned that Han Feng was, after all, Sixth-Grade Alchemist who had been in the Black-Corner Region for so many years; surely he had at least one Seventh-Tier Magical Core in his collection?

If not, we can just refine it when we get to Central Plains!

If we don't need it when the time comes, we can use it for experiments and explore Puppetry!

No matter how you calculate it, or from what angle you look at it, he can always find a way to profit from this situation.

"Hiss... Are you serious? Han Feng is no simple character."

Su Qian was astonished to hear that Qin Yu intended to destroy the Feng Alliance as well.

If it's true that Elder Yingshan joined the Feng Alliance, then the Feng Alliance now possesses at least three Dou Zong- level combatants.

Three Dou Zong...

Well, it doesn't seem to be a difficult task for Qin Yu either.

Once the secret technique is activated, dealing with those three guys who aren't even Five-Star Dou Zong is much easier than dealing with the Earth Demon Old Ghost.

Oh right, those Gold and Silver Elders, weren't even Dou Zong Battle Masters). They were only able to rival Dou Zong thanks to their advanced techniques and perfect teamwork.

If a real fight breaks out, Qin Yu probably won't even need to use any secret techniques to deal with these two.

"Relax, I'll be refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet these next few days, so don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Alright, focus on refining your puppet. I'm also eager to see the power of this Heavenly Demon Puppet."

After Su Qian left, Qin Yu didn't delay and went to find Yun Yun and the other two.

Yun Yun was practicing the Cloud Dragon Nine Manifestations in a secluded place, her figure tumbling in the wind like a swimming dragon.

Qin Yu stopped at a distance, watching the giant dragon formed from Wind-Attribute Battle Qi surge repeatedly in the clouds, its aura growing stronger and stronger, and nodded secretly.

Judging solely from the power of this move, Yun Yun could even hold her own against Two-Star Dou Zong.

Sensing Qin Yu's arrival, Yun Yun dispelled her Dou Technique and came to Qin Yu's side.

Upon hearing Qin Yu's purpose, Yun Yun immediately nodded in agreement:

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Zi Yan."

Xiao Yi Xian was also very agreeable, simply saying "Go with peace of mind" and not asking any further questions.

Finally, it was Zi Yan's turn. This girl was clearly still quite curious about her grown-up figure, and spent all her time admiring herself in the mirror.

"Zi Yan, I will be in seclusion for the next few days refining something, so please don't disturb me."

"What is that? Can I take a look?"

"Cannot."

"That..."

"Not a drop of blood. You stay put."

Zi Yan immediately wilted, but seeing Qin Yu's serious demeanor, she also put away her usual playful manner and earnestly agreed.

After making arrangements for the three of them, Qin Yu returned to the desolate mountain where he usually studied Formation.

This area was already sparsely populated, and with the isolation Formation he had set up beforehand, even if someone passed by, they wouldn't notice the movement in the mountain valley.

Qin Yu found a suitable spot and laid out all the materials in front of him one by one.

The corpse of the Earth Demon Old Ghost.

Tier 7 Fire Attribute Magic Core.

And the jade bottle that sealed the soul of the Bone Old Demon.

Qin Yu sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and reviewed all the key points of crafting the puppet in his mind before beginning the initial crafting process.

The first step in the refining process is to use the high temperature of the Heavenly Flames to force out the remaining impurities in the corpse one by one, so that the bones and fascia can be reshaped in the flames, preparing them to bear the power of the soul and the Magic Core in the future.

This one step alone took Qin Yu two days.

Then, Qin Yu took out the Tier 7 Fire Attribute Magic Core. Under the scorching heat of the Heavenly Flames, the Magic Core slowly melted, turning into a ball of crimson viscous liquid that emitted astonishing heat.

Qin Yu used his soul power to guide the ball of Magic Core solution, causing it to seep little by little into the Earth Demon Old Ghost's corpse.

This is a delicate task; the slightest mistake could cause the Magic Core's power to repel the corpse, resulting in a failed refining process.

As the Magic Core solution seeped in, dark red lines began to appear on the puppet's surface, spreading from its heart to its limbs like blood vessels.

"Next comes the most crucial step."

Once this step was basically completed, Qin Yu opened his eyes, took out a jade bottle, and used his fingertips to pry open the Soul Imprint on the seal.

As soon as the Bone Old Demon was freed, his illusory figure froze for a moment before looking around.

When he saw Qin Yu's face clearly, and the corpse at his feet being turned into a puppet, his anger erupted instantly.

"You brat! How dare you imprison my soul!"

The Bone Old Demon let out a furious roar, transforming into a grayish-white blur that lunged straight at Qin Yu's face.

Oh?

Not only do they refuse to surrender, but they also dare to launch an attack on me?

Qin Yu's lips curled into a smile, and his right hand suddenly spread its five fingers wide.

With a crisp whooshing sound, several dark golden Soul Lock shot out from his palm, precisely binding the Bone Old Demon's soul.

The chains tightened, abruptly halting the Bone Old Demon's forward momentum in mid-air, preventing him from advancing an inch no matter how much he struggled.

"My Evil Bone Sect has no grudge against you! Why did you annihilate my entire sect? Why did you imprison my soul?!"

The Bone Old Demon's voice was filled with resentment and humiliation, but he received no reply from Qin Yu.

With a flick of his wrist, the Soul Lock tightened sharply, dragging the Bone Old Demon's soul and forcibly pressing it towards the puppet that was already mostly complete.

"What are you going to do!"

Qin Yu clasped his hands together, and the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Volcanic Rock Flame surged forth simultaneously, enveloping the Bone Old Demon's soul and the puppet.

Under the intense heat of the Heavenly Flames, the Bone Old Demon's screams quickly weakened and eventually vanished completely.

"I have no obligation to explain this to you."

Qin Yu withdrew the flames and began the final fusion and refining process.

On the third day of the refining process, Qin Yu opened his eyes and took out several pieces of strange ores and metals that he had collected earlier from his Storage Ring.

He flipped his palm and used the Volcanic Rock Flame to refine the ores one by one, fusing them with the puppet.

Xiao Yan later used the soul of the Iron Protector, One-Star Dou Zong level cultivator, and the puppet he created initially did not reach the level of the Earth Demon Puppet.

Although he used the Bone Old Demon, Four-Star Dou Zong, Qin Yu still added some ingredients to ensure everything went smoothly.

Time passed day by day amidst the flickering flames.

On the morning of the tenth day, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the desolate mountain.

A burst of silvery-white light erupted, illuminating the entire barren mountain like a full moon.

Immediately afterwards, the light quickly subsided, and a humanoid puppet, entirely silver-white and with a robust build, stood before Qin Yu.
