"Go back and practice hard!"
He Pingsheng instructed Hao Cang, "I've given you the items and cultivation resources. I believe you should break through to the ninth layer soon!"

The first step in refining a puppet was melting the main materials.
After the main materials melted, he began melting the auxiliary materials.
Once all the materials had melted, they
