Passing On the Technique, Not the Puppets

When Yi Xuan woke up, he found himself still in the hall that the old lady had brought him to, with three people sitting cross-legged beside him.

When Yi Xuan got up, he realized that he was not only accompanied by the old matriarch, but also by two other elders of the Azure Cloud Sect, his master and Supreme Elder Li.

The three of them noticed that Yi Xuan had woken up. The old lady asked with a smile, "How are you? How are you feeling?"

"What did you mean?" Yi Xuan didn't understand what the Supreme Elder meant. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly jumped up, scratching his head, and asked, "Supreme Elder, why did you pat my head earlier? This disciple is just a Qi Refining Realm newbie, how could I withstand the methods of a Nascent Soul ancestor like you!"

Upon hearing Yi Xuan's answer, the old woman said irritably, "Who asked you how your head feels? I'm asking about the inside of your head!"

After listening to the old lady's words, Yi Xuan calmed down and began to feel. He quickly discovered the difference between himself and what had just happened, or rather, the difference between his memories and what had just happened.

Yi Xuan discovered that a massive amount of knowledge had been forcibly stuffed into his mind. Although this knowledge existed in Yi Xuan mind, he had not yet absorbed it.

After reading just a bit of it, Yi Xuan realized that this memory was the Puppet Master's legacy. He never expected that something he had been searching for for half a month without any results would suddenly appear in his mind.

Yi Xuan knew, of course, that this knowledge had been taught to him by the Supreme Elder, and he knelt on the ground to kowtow to the old lady.

But a hand held her down, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't lower herself.

Yi Xuan up and saw the old lady lift him up with a gentle touch. "Alright! If you know how to use this Puppet Technique to protect the sect, then my teaching to you wasn't in vain!"

Yi Xuan could only nod solemnly and say, "As long as I am Sect Protector, I will be Sect Protector for life. This disciple will protect the Azure Cloud Sect for the rest of my life!"

Hearing Yi Xuan's words, Xiao Anhe and Li Yuntai nodded in satisfaction.

The old woman looked at the two of them and said, "It seems you two have agreed. Just don't blame me for acting first and informing you later!"

It turns out that Xiao Anhe and Li Yuntai were unaware of the Azure Cloud Sect's Puppet Technique before. It was only after the Old Master taught the Puppet Technique to Yi Xuan that they were brought here and told the whole story.

After learning about the history of the Azure Cloud Sect, the two were deeply moved, never expecting that the Azure Cloud Sect had such a trump card.

Yi Xuan was Xiao Anhe's disciple, so he naturally agreed wholeheartedly to his disciple inheriting the Puppet Technique.

However, Li Yuntai was somewhat worried, since although Yi Xuan had previously demonstrated the strength to contend with Golden Core True Person, he himself was still only in the Qi Refining Realm.

Entrusting such an important High Antiquity Puppet Technique to Yi Xuan, I wonder if Yi Xuan can protect it well.

However, after Yi Xuan spoke of protecting the Azure Cloud Sect, Supreme Elder Li had no objections.

Having just received the inheritance, Yi Xuan didn't notice the expressions of the three Supreme Elders. Instead, he excitedly walked into the hall, looking at and touching the many puppets like a child seeing a toy.

Although he hadn't had time to fully digest the inheritance, Yi Xuan knew from the puppets in the hall that this Puppet Technique would definitely provide sufficient assistance for his upcoming creation of bionic robots.

Thinking of this, Yi Xuan opened his Storage Bag and prepared to put away the puppets in the hall, so he could study them when he returned to the base.

Unexpectedly, Yi Xuan was stopped by the old lady as soon as he made a move.

"Elder? What is this? Don't worry, I will definitely study Puppet Technique diligently!"

Yi Xuan pushed aside the arm blocking his way, intending to continue taking the puppet away, but the old lady stepped forward to stop him again.

Yi Xuan was somewhat confused by the old lady's meaning. The old lady shook her head and said, "I did pass on the Puppet Technique to you, but I didn't say I would give you these puppets as well. These puppets are the sect's last trump card. Even if you accept the Puppet Master's inheritance, you must not use them lightly!"

Upon hearing the old lady's explanation, Yi Xuan finally understood that the Supreme Elder had indeed taught him Puppet Technique, but it was only simple Puppet Technique and did not include the puppets in the hall.

"Purely theoretical?"

Yi Xuan asked, somewhat incredulously.

Whether it's science or cultivation, pure theory is always the most tedious and obscure. Yi Xuan was originally full of confidence, thinking he could use the puppets in the hall to help him learn Puppet Technique.

But the current situation makes Yi Xuan feel that his future is bleak.

The Supreme Elder seemed to understand Yi Xuan's concerns, so he comforted him, "I've had this inheritance for nearly a hundred years now. Do you really think I'm just a mouthpiece?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Xuan's eyes lit up. "So you've also studied Puppet Technique?"

"Of course!"

The Supreme Elder took something out of his Storage Bag, and a small bird-shaped puppet appeared in his palm.

Without the Supreme Elder making any other move, the little bird seemed to come alive, and it gently leaped up, flapping its wings and taking flight. Then it began to circle continuously above the heads of the group.

Seeing the bird's agile movements and stable flight, the old woman stretched out her palm again, and the puppet bird, as if receiving a command, landed steadily in her palm like a real bird.

Yi Xuan initially didn't quite trust the old lady's Puppet Technique abilities.

But these few flights of the little bird have already revealed a lot.

The bird's flight may seem simple, but the scientific knowledge involved is anything but.

The world Yi Xuan lived in before he traveled there already had corresponding technological products, namely flapping-wing drones.

It's important to understand that while these drones seem to operate on a simple principle—simulating the way birds flap their wings to generate lift—they are designed to be effective drones.

However, the weight restrictions, structure, flight control, aerodynamics, and other aspects involved are extremely profound and esoteric.

In any case, before Yi Xuan's transmigration, he had never heard of any person or team that had developed a flapping-wing drone that was truly functionally identical to a bird. This is why flapping-wing drones on the market in his previous life were relegated to toys. Due to their lack of functionality, they had no commercial value whatsoever.

But now, the little bird-shaped puppet in the Supreme Elder's hands gave Yi Xuan hope. So, with stars in his eyes, Yi Xuan asked with a smile, "Supreme Elder, this... this... this is too amazing! But this disciple has some questions. I wonder if the Supreme Elder could answer them for me?"

Seeing that Yi Xuan was speechless with shock at his puppet, the Supreme Elder was delighted and immediately nodded, saying, "Ask me any questions you have!"

"How is the flight control of this puppet handled? How is it made to fly so naturally? And what is its aerodynamic model like?"

"Forehead????"

"Speak like a human being!"
