Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 240 The Evil-Slaying Serpent Dragon Puppet
Su Qing shook her head and chuckled, then pulled Qinghe off her body. Qinghe was clinging to her and rubbing against her like a kitten trying to please its owner, or a puppy trying to freeload—in short, she didn't look very human.

Looking at the small shop where the puppet inventory was about to be sold out, he was also somewhat dazed.

For him, refining puppets non-stop for a month was simply too long.

After purchasing all the materials from Zizai Baibaoge.

He hurriedly began to prepare the dragon bone.

His original idea was to refine it into an armored puppet-type exorcism puppet.

By combining the bones of the dragon with the pill of the dragon, it is made to have the ability to unleash the might of a dragon, just like a real dragon.

Using the Heavenly Spirit Gold and Dragon Powder, they sculpted its skin, flesh, scales, and claws, giving it the same physical strength as in its previous life.

Then, using third-tier exorcism runes to guide the purple tribulation lightning within its body, it can expel exorcism purple lightning through its mouth, specifically to counter evil spirits and heretics.

Once successfully crafted, he envisioned this puppet becoming his strongest puppet, even more powerful than the five-star general Xiong.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and the puppet-making process often went wrong.

The first step in crafting this puppet, inserting the dragon core into the dragon bone, went wrong.

Dragon cores are different from ordinary demon cores.

The Dragon Pill contains both a portion of the Dragon Clan's heritage and remnants of the Dragon Clan's instinctive consciousness.

To bring it under one's control, one must first erase the residual instinctive consciousness of the dragon race within it before it can take shape.

In order to extinguish the dragon's instincts, he probed his divine sense into the dragon core and fought with the golden dragon for several days. In the end, he took advantage of the dragon's inability to replenish its energy from the outside world and its lack of endurance, and dragged it down to its death.

After the little dragon was worn down, the dragon core and dragon bone successfully merged together, and the purple tribulation lightning started causing trouble again.

After the dragon bone emitted an aura similar to that of the true form of the dragon.

The purple lightning bolts immediately became restless, as if waiting to strike the dragon once more.

This panicked Su Qing so much that he immediately used the Mountain and Sea Capture technique to slow down the speed at which the purple lightning serpent fell.

At the point of impact, four hands grasped two brushes and hastily drew runes using third-tier exorcism water made from ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood.

Because the lightning strikes were completely erratic, he naturally couldn't imprint the exorcising rune onto the dragon's abdomen as originally planned in the blueprints.

If a purple lightning bolt strikes the dragon's head, then draw two strokes on the dragon's head; if a purple lightning bolt strikes the dragon's claw, then quickly start working on the dragon's claw; if it strikes the dragon's back, draw the dragon's back; if it strikes the dragon's eye, add the dragon's eye.

Fortunately, the exorcism talisman water mixed with lightning-struck wood did indeed have the ability to absorb purple lightning snakes for its own use, just as he had expected, and the tribulation lightning did not damage the dragon bones.

After all the purple lightning bolts struck.

Not only was the main structure of the dragon bone completely intact, but the entire dragon body was also covered in purple lightning, as if it were draped in a layer of purple thunder skin.

This caused the dragon bone to deviate completely from his original expectations.

Originally, he intended for the dragon to contain the tribulation lightning within its belly, so that it could spew out lightning snakes from its mouth for ranged attacks when facing enemies.

Now, the purple lightning is mixed throughout his body, so he has lost his ability to attack from a distance. However, when he engages in close combat, lightning flashes everywhere, and everything is electrified.

What's more troublesome is that the tribulation lightning was not contained within his body, so if he were to refine this puppet into an armor puppet and wear it...

He would have to endure the torment of the tribulation lightning every moment. He wanted the tribulation lightning to be used to torment evil spirits, not to torment himself.

Therefore, the plan to refine this puppet into the Tyrannosaurus Rex Armor completely failed.

A skilled puppeteer can make timely adjustments based on any unexpected events that occur during the puppet-making process, ultimately creating a puppet that best utilizes the properties of the materials!
Su Qing considered himself an excellent puppeteer, and this little trick was no challenge for him!
After racking their brains for several days, with the help of Hongshang, they finally determined the new type of puppet.

A mount-type puppet for exorcising evil spirits!
It is based on the royal chariot runes obtained from the royal family.

Transform this dragon into a mount puppet!
Although riding it will still result in electric shocks, it's still more comfortable than wearing it and getting shocked all over.

After determining the approach, the exorcism runes were also drawn haphazardly due to the chaotic nature of the lightning strikes earlier.

There wasn't much space on the dragon bone for him to draw other runes.

As a result, he chose to abandon both spatial runes and material runes.

Whether or not you use this dragon to transform into an armored puppet, whether or not you have these two types of runes will have some impact, but not a big one.

The third-tier bionic runes, however, must be drawn.

A large blank space was found at the dragon's head. With a stroke of the brush, dragon scales appeared, and the talisman emerged as the dragon's eyes rose.

In less than half a day, all the third-order bionic runes were drawn.

Before him appeared a purple-gold serpent dragon, over nine zhang long, with no horns, purple scales, golden eyes, and yellow claws.

As the dragon's head opened and closed, a faint dragon aura emanated, which then turned into mist and rain. The entire second floor instantly seemed to be in the clouds and mountains of the sky, shrouded in mist and rain, with occasional flashes of purple lightning.

Worried that the hidden magic array upstairs might not be able to conceal the commotion, Su Qing patted the dragon's head repeatedly to calm it down.

Since he might ride this dragon into battle in the future, its intelligence could determine his life or death, so he dared not be negligent.

Based on Tang Wanqing's personality template, a third-order intelligent rune was drawn for her.

Tang Wanqing is ruthless and taciturn, with a resolute and unconventional personality, making it extremely unlikely that she would make a mistake.

As he wished, the dragon equipped with Tang Wanqing's personality, once it gained intelligence, thoughtfully gave him all sorts of advice.

"Master, you can draw third-tier battle skill runes for the flying dragon. The flying dragon can then use these to unleash dragon battle skills, the power of which is comparable to the human race's Xuan-level battle skills!"

"Master, you can draw third-tier Daoist runes for the flying dragon. The flying dragon can then use these to cast dragon-level Daoist spells, the power of which is comparable to human-level Xuan-grade Daoist spells!"

"Master, you can draw a third-tier flight rune for the flying dragon to enhance its ability to fly."

"Master, we can draw a third-tier riding rune for the flying dragon, allowing you to share the dragon's attributes, becoming one with it and greatly increasing your power!"

The dragon's owner was very enthusiastic, and had quite a few demands.

But who can argue with someone like Tiger Egg who's better at talking and whose suggestions are all very reliable?

Because it could talk, it obtained the right to name itself from Su Qing and was thus called Flying Dragon. Although it wasn't very imposing, at least it wasn't as unrefined as Fire Egg or Tiger Egg.

With Feilong's full cooperation, Su Qing made him turn over to expose his belly and drew third-tier weapon runes on his abdomen.

He made it open its mouth and drew third-order Taoist runes on its throat.

I let him stretch his back, found a good spot on his back, and drew the imperial runes.

Once the rune was successfully drawn, the two dragon scales on its back protruded into a soft seat, thoughtfully isolating it from the tribulation lightning emanating from its body. Su Qing tried sitting on it; not only was it soft and bouncy, but more importantly, it didn't shock her bottom at all.

There was simply no place to draw the Sky-Soaring Rune, so it could only be drawn on the dragon's tail.

Because his proficiency with this rune was extremely low, he was only at the first level. With each failure, the dragon cried out in pain, and its originally thick, cylindrical tail was reduced to the thickness of a chopstick.

This makes the dragon appear to outsiders as having neither horns nor a tail, greatly diminishing its majesty as a dragon-type puppet.

Fortunately, although its tail was as thin as a chopstick, it was eventually imprinted with a third-tier flight rune.
This rune grants it an even greater speed for flying than the Flowing Silver.

Unfortunately, by this point, the materials on Feilong's body had reached their limit. He could no longer add any more third-tier runes. Otherwise, he would have definitely searched for another blank space on Feilong's body without runes and drawn the third-tier spatial runes on it, hoping to get lucky and grant Feilong the ability to teleport through space.

"Master, the upper limit of second-tier materials is five third-tier runes. Any more than that is beyond the capacity of second-tier materials. Please do not blame Flying Dragon for being incompetent!"

Feilong said somewhat apologetically, and Su Qing immediately nodded and comforted it.

It's not that the flying dragon is incompetent, but that its master is incapable of obtaining a third-tier dragon bone and a third-tier dragon pill for it!
Although it's a bit of a pity, the flying dragon now has five third-tier runes painted on its body, just like the five-star general bear, making it a five-star general dragon. Among second-tier puppets, its combat power is already at its limit.

Su Qing was still extremely happy about its birth.

A spirit stone was tossed out, which the flying dragon swallowed, instantly activating the puppet.

The puppet's detailed information instantly appeared on the user's panel.

【Puppet Name: Evil-Slaying Serpent Dragon (Alternative Name: Flying Dragon)】

[Puppet Rank: Second Tier Limit]

[Puppet Type: Exorcism Mount-type Puppet]

[Ability 1: Soaring through the clouds and mist, flying like a dragon, moving freely on clouds, disappearing when encountering clouds, and being shrouded in mist.]

[Ability Two: Purple Lightning Dragon Claw Hand. The four claws of the flying dragon contain tribulation lightning, which can both dispel evil spirits and capture other opponents.]

[Ability 3: Water Tornado, can gather water-based spiritual energy and unleash a water tornado to fight enemies.]

[Ability Four: Tribulation Lightning Body - The flying dragon can draw upon the power of heavenly lightning to replenish its internal tribulation lightning energy.]

[Ability 5: Traveling with its Master] When the dragon travels with its master, its combat power increases by 30%, and it can also lend its power to its master, allowing the master to use some of the dragon's abilities, including but not limited to Purple Lightning Dragon Claw Hand and Water Wave Tornado.

[Sixth Ability: Sacrificing Oneself to Save Its Master. The dragon can share some of the damage its master suffers and, in times of crisis, launch its master to a safe area, instantly self-destructing and unleashing the power of tribulation lightning.]

[Comment: Although extravagant, this hornless dragon only realizes its full value when it self-destructs!]

"Self-destruct? This kind of second-tier ultimate puppet, the perfect puppet I created at the cost of hundreds of spirit stones, I wouldn't let it self-destruct even if you killed me!"

I don't understand why the panel suddenly malfunctioned and displayed an extra line of comments.

But this evaluation is not worth considering. Even if Su Qing dies on this flying dragon, he would never let it self-destruct easily!

What a fortune! They'd be heartbroken if their lizard warriors just exploded, how could they possibly self-destruct this dragon?

But is the power of this dragon's self-destruction really that great?
I should have given it a Spirit Burst rune.

Pity.

Hey, I shouldn't have listened to that dragon's advice.

Can it ask me to apply the Spirit Explosion rune to it?

Just as Su Qing was muttering to himself and about to put the panel away, another line of black text appeared on the panel.

[A new type of puppet has been crafted—a mount-type puppet, unlocking three related puppets.]

【One: Crimson Rainbow Horse (Second-Tier Low-Grade Puppet)】

【Part Two: King Crab (Tier 3 Low-Grade Puppet)】

【Three: Golden Roar (Tier 3 Ultimate Puppet)】

The unlocking of three new blueprints delighted Su Qing.

Although the Emperor Crab and Golden Roar can only be temporarily shelved due to limitations in cultivation and spirit stones, they are not needed now but can be used at any time in the future, so it's nice to have them in my storage bag.

As for the Crimson Flame Rainbow Horse that he can refine right now, its appearance is just in time!
He's already got a mount, how can he bear to let his fellow cultivators in the immortal city still walk?

Is it respectable for a cultivator not to have a mount? Is it acceptable for a rogue cultivator not to have a mount?
Those independent cultivators who believe that the faster you run, the longer you live, probably wouldn't mind spending a lot of spirit crystals on mounts and puppets.

"It's just that the Crimson Rainbow Horse is of a higher grade, making it difficult to sell in large quantities. We need to reverse-engineer and develop a lower-end version to sell in larger quantities, and it would be best to take care of all fellow Daoists and their wallets."

"Just craft a few high-end second-tier models and sell them to wealthy, well-off fellow cultivators."

Having tasted the sweetness of crafting the perfect weapon for Lin Shuangmu, Su Qing silently pondered how to turn the blade on the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

He then put the flying dragon into his storage bag to free up space in preparation for forging a new type of Sky Roc ship.

The original Sky Roc ship was modified from the mother boomerang of the mother-daughter boomerang.

The mother dart has the ability to command the puppets within it and to charge the annihilation puppets and the scout puppets.

However, the mother dart itself has no combat ability. Even if he equipped it with the Gale Cannon, it could still crash at any time when facing Foundation Establishment cultivators or even first-tier ultimate flying beasts.

This ability is no longer sufficient to meet his current needs.

Although it can still be used to some extent, if we want to seize air superiority on the battlefield, we still need to build a new type of aerospace roc.

There is nothing more suitable as the main material for the puppet than the corpse and demon core of the Little Peng King!

He killed Little Peng King not only to refine the Green Sword Child, but also to refine this new type of Sky Peng Ship.

It can only be said that Xiao Peng Wang was a treasure trove, and once he saw him, he had a way to die. His death was not unjust at all.

It remains to be seen whether the third-tier Golden Roc King died at the hands of a high-ranking cultivator from Penglai or at the hands of Liu Yun'er.

The witch had told him when they parted last time that she would kill the Roc King.

Therefore, he immediately suspected that the witch had imitated the methods of the high-ranking cultivators of Penglai to kill the Peng King.

But Elders Liu and Li confidently asserted that only high-ranking cultivators from Penglai could unleash that profound spiritual light with such authentic and pure flavor, which made him somewhat unsure of himself.

Since the corpse and demon core of the third-tier Golden Roc King were unlikely to fall into his hands, he stopped thinking about it and focused on dealing with the little Roc King.

All the golden feathers on Xiaopeng King's body were stripped off by him, so it was obviously impossible to replicate the ability of his Golden Roc Feather Sword.

However, without drawing spatial runes, its enormous demonic body with a wingspan of over twenty zhang and its innate physical skeleton made its terrifying speed almost unbearable for even his four hands and two guns.

These are far beyond what ordinary second-order materials can compare to.

Even though Xiaopengwang is very suitable as a mothership.

But there are others who are more suitable for him.

That demonic skeleton of the second-tier Cloud Roc King!

In terms of size, Yunpeng King is much bigger than Xiaopeng King!
Moreover, it is naturally capable of hiding in the clouds and mist, and its concealment effect is even better than that of Little Peng King.

"Hollow out its belly, put the previous Sky Mothership inside, and put the refined Peng King Puppet, Falcon King Puppet, and Cloud Peng Hidden Bomb inside as guards, along with the array system built by my former senior brother."

Thus, this Yunpeng warship will become a super-large aerial combat platform, a hundred times stronger than a space carrier, capable of displaying its power on the Foundation Establishment battlefield and dominating the aerial battlefield!

Su Qing finished drawing the blueprints and said with great confidence.
