Refining the Heroic Soul of a Puppet, the Millennium Arc!

Sensing the boundless possibilities of Dao of Refining, Qin Qianyu was slightly taken aback, and suddenly an inspiration struck him...

It's that feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Qin Qianyu no longer confined himself to refining arrays, but turned his gaze to the heavens and the earth, to living beings, flesh and blood, and souls...

"Refine..."

"Everything can be refined, not just one thing!"

In that instant of clarity, Qin Qianyu seemed to have grasped the essence of the Great Dao of Refining, completely opening up his mind...

Since everything can be refined, can we refine everything in the world?

Qin Qianyu's Divine Sense stirred, instantly intercepting a wisp of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and then began to refine it, seemingly trying to extract the essence from the myriad impurities!

As the already pure and flawless Spiritual Qi is Dao of Refining, an even purer and more ultimate aura slowly emerges...

Although that wisp of breath only lasted for a fleeting moment.

However, its purity was more than a hundred times greater than that of the Spiritual Qi it had just absorbed...

It's like the so-called Immortal Spiritual Qi!

However, this wisp of energy is fleeting and cannot be mass-produced, so it seems to have no real effect...

But in Qin Qianyu's eyes, it was as if a new world had opened up!

"It really works!"

"And what about living beings of flesh and blood? Let me try!"

Qin Qianyu was in high spirits. He threw two Core Formation slave beasts out of his spirit beast pouch and then directly used his Dao of Refining technique to forcibly refine the two demons...

One of them howled and cried out incessantly during the refining process, its fear causing it to constantly resist, convulse, and humbly beg for mercy!

Until the very end--

Its flesh, blood, skin, fur, internal organs, and all other vital organs were refined into it; its Demon Core, Dao Law, and Spiritual Power were all incorporated into it...

They didn't even spare the soul Divine Sense!

Then, like peeling away layers of an onion, impurities were gradually removed from this unknown mass of blood-red flesh, and its essence was purified...

Finally, it turned out to be a pool of dark red pus.

Its boundless vitality is like some kind of powerful tonic; this is the most common method of refining and purifying in the Dao of Refining...

"Just as I thought."

"By Dao of Refining, one can obtain the purest life-giving treasures. If further refined, these treasures can even extend one's lifespan!"

"If this is about refining the dead from the living, then is it possible to refine the living from the dead?"

"And is it possible to further refine and optimize living beings? Just like Law Treasure, adding, refining, and upgrading them step by step...?"

Thinking of this--

Qin Qianyu began to refine another slave beast, but this time, instead of refining it into a treasure, he optimized and transformed it!

This was a Wolf Demon. As the Dao of Refining continuously modified its bloodline, supplemented by the newly refined blood-red pus, its bloodline immediately began to mutate...

Originally, this mutation was uncontrollable.

However, under the powerful intervention of the Dao of Dao of Refining, this abundant vitality continuously flowed into the Wolf Demon's body, gradually reverting to its ancestral state...

This is like forging a weapon from a living creature, giving the Wolf Demon a pair of wings, a single horn, and an affinity for Fire Dao...

This power of Dao of Refining is like a furnace of heaven and earth!

The Wolf Demon was continuously modified and tempered to become even more extraordinary, breaking its original bloodline constraints. However, this modification was not perfect.

When the Wolf Demon reappeared, its aura and bloodline had both increased by a level...

But his intelligence had vanished, turning him into a complete beast, utterly devoid of wisdom and thought.

But its potential has been genuinely enhanced!

"Interesting!"

"It seems my understanding of the Dao of Refining was too one-sided..."

Qin Qianyu pondered for a moment, then summoned two jade pendants that transmitted sound. After speaking a few words to the pendants, they quickly vanished into Void...

In no time at all.

Two figures rushed over. One was Qin Qiling, a prodigy of the Qi generation. His divine soul was naturally powerful, and he was the best in the clan at refining weapons!

He was one of the many disciples Qin Mingzheng took in during his lifetime. He was a master of both weapon crafting and puppetry, and a true grandmaster.

The other person was none other than Qin Yingjie, who had already condensed his Nascent Soul stage.

He is the strongest Soul Dao cultivator in the Qin Clan besides Qin Lu, and his Soul Dao techniques are extraordinary, almost surpassing the abilities of Qin Lu...

He knows about 70-80% of it!

The reason these two were summoned was to verify the possibility of resurrecting the dead through the art of alchemy—an act no less significant than creating life itself...

"Dao of Refining, is it about refining life from death?"

"You're quite bold, kid, but upon closer inspection, it's not entirely impossible. If you combine Qi Ling's Puppet Technique with a resilient soul..."

"With the aid of the power of Dao of Refining, it might actually be possible to bring inanimate objects back to life!"

Even if it doesn't work out, if the dead can continue in another form of life, that wouldn't be a bad thing.

"If it could come true, that would be a miraculous technique, but since it is said to disrupt people's hearts, it is also a technique that invites chaos."

"Be careful what you do..."

Qin Yingjie, now a Nascent Soul, has a broader perspective. After hearing Qin Qianyu's plan, he had to admit the wonder of the Dao of Dao of Refining...

However, the hidden dangers involved are truly enormous.

"Qiling, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this—

After pondering for a long time, Qin Qiling, who had remained silent all along, finally offered his advice:

"This method might be worth a try."

"But with our current level of Divine Ability power, creating a truly living, sentient being is probably as difficult as ascending to heaven..."

"Moreover, the drawbacks of having independent thought are too obvious. Take, for example, the Five Elements Puppet of the Mieyang Immortal Palace. If they were to harbor rebellious intentions, we would find it difficult to cope with such a situation."

"But if we were to refine a half-living being with a certain level of intelligence and the potential for growth, that wouldn't be an option either..."

"If we can truly create a puppet creature that can cultivate on its own and command commands, it would be a great thing for the entire Qin Clan!"

After confirming that the plan was feasible, the words were spoken.

Qin Qianyu, Qin Qiling, and Qin Yingjie then began their closed-door experiment, using a massive amount of Fourth-Tier and Fifth-Tier materials as a foundation...

With the combined efforts of Qin Qianyu and Qin Qiling, the two barely managed to refine a prototype of a Fifth-Tier Nascent Soul puppet, though it was inferior to the Profound Yin Puppet.

But after all, this is not a flesh and blood puppet, but rather heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Having no foundation in Nascent Soul cultivation, the fact that they were able to create this Nascent Soul puppet is already quite remarkable...

Then--

Qin Yingjie summoned a precious pearl called the "Ten Thousand Souls Spirit-Preserving Pearl," which contained a wisp of the divine soul of many meritorious officials Great Qin Dynasty...

First, they obtained a remnant soul of Core Formation Cultivator. This Great Qin general was only at the Core Formation Early Stage and unfortunately died in a war.

This wisp of his soul was the last trace of his life.

As this barely perceptible remnant soul merged into the nascent Nascent Soul puppet, the Nascent Soul actually twitched its fingers slightly...

There was no further movement, indicating that the remaining strength of this soul was not high.

But the essence of Dao of Refining lies in transforming the rotten into the miraculous!

Qin Qianyu activated the Great Dao of Refining, and immediately refined the mutated Wolf Demon. Afterward, he refined dozens of Dao Foundation Beast Slaves...

A pool of bloody pus was slowly poured into the puppet.

Eventually, this pus seemed to come alive; under Qin Qianyu's manipulation, the puppet actually grew muscles, blood vessels, and skin!

Its already indistinct wisp of soul, along with this surge of life, became active again, even beginning to grow like a plant...

This moment-

This Nascent Soul puppet has come to life!

The previously blurry face then transformed into the appearance of this Qin Clan general in life, seemingly only lacking a somewhat dull gaze...

They are almost indistinguishable from living people!

He stared blankly at his hands, seemingly lost in thought...

He is both himself and not himself.

He exists somewhere between the living and the dead, seemingly possessing a trace of sentience, yet devoid of any emotions or desires. But there is no doubt that...

Through their combined efforts, the three of them indeed managed to achieve a result that required no high-grade materials, no Nascent Soul body, and no lengthy gestation period...

This allows for the swift creation of a Nascent Soul -level puppet possessing a certain degree of sentience and an inability to betray it, aside from being somewhat dull...

He looks almost exactly like a true Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"We succeeded?"

Qin Qiling asked, but no one could give him a definite answer...

A moment later--

Qin Qianyu and Qin Yingjie both shook their heads dejectedly. They had successfully crafted Nascent Soul puppet, but its spirituality was too low...

There is no possibility of cultivating independently and reaching the upper limit.

It can only be said that it was half successful. If we really want to know why it failed, the problem probably lies in that wisp of remnant soul...

This Great Qin general's will was not firm.

In the process of being resurrected, far too much of one's spirituality was lost...

This is also the fundamental reason why the puppet failed to meet expectations. If further optimization is desired, perhaps the puppet's strength could be reduced.

This reduces the difficulty of fusing the remnant soul with the puppet's body.

at this point--

They could perhaps refer to the crafting process of the Five Elements Puppet Core; if they used the power of the Five Elements as a source, it might be feasible...
