Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 265 Lu Wu Sees the Truth, Temporary Furnace Lid

Lu Wu, the strongest being in the world, was once a seventh-order being who ruled the capital under the emperor and oversaw the nine departments of heaven.

The tiger egg differs greatly from this.

As for the legendary Lord of Luwu, the Heavenly Emperor, Su Qing could hardly compare to him.

At this moment, Su Qing only glanced at the patterns on the armored puppet, focusing more on the puppet's inherent abilities.

The key is whether he can bear the power of this third-tier armored puppet and whether he can make full use of its function!
The energy, brimming to the point of explosion, surged from the armored puppet into its body, causing blood and qi to surge wildly and energy to burst forth.

In an instant, the physical body he had been maintaining could no longer be maintained, and his physical skeleton exploded repeatedly, transforming into a madman about ten feet tall after being modified by the Nine Li Dao patterns.

In this form, his physical constitution and body cultivation abilities can be unleashed to their fullest potential.

Although his cultivation level had already reached the peak of the second tier, it was far inferior to the energy possessed by this third-tier armored puppet, making it impossible for him to forcibly suppress and subdue it for his own use.

But since this armored puppet was connected to his consciousness, wearing it made it a part of his body.

He could use it as a makeshift stove cover!
The internal furnace was burning so intensely that it emitted white smoke. Under the scorching heat of the furnace, the energy of this armored puppet slowly transformed into a temporary furnace lid.

The tiger-shaped furnace lid, resembling a tiger's head, landed on his Vajra furnace.

Although it was somewhat incongruous, it was still usable. The moment he landed, all the blood and qi energy that had been involuntarily dissipating was gathered up.

His cultivation, which had stagnated, was revitalized by the nourishing furnace with the lid on, allowing him to feel a trickle of blood and qi energy flowing through his limbs, bones, and internal organs.

He's making progress again!

"With this armored puppet, even if I am temporarily unable to condense the Dao pattern furnace lid, I can still continue to improve my physical body. Once the absorbed and digested blood and qi energy reaches a certain level, my physical body will still be comparable to that of a third-tier body cultivator!"

Su Qing was overjoyed and said that the fact that the third-tier armor puppet could condense into a temporary furnace lid and also have the effect of cultivation was beyond his expectations.

In his view, having been struggling to find the Earth-level Vajra Method and having reached a bottleneck in his physical cultivation, this one effect alone was enough to justify his investment in this armor puppet.

But this armored puppet clearly has more than just this one effect.

After condensing the temporary furnace lid, he can combine his own power with the armored puppet, unleashing combat power comparable to a third-tier body cultivator, and even mobilize some of the armored puppet's own abilities.

For example, with the slightest thought, nine fox tails would appear behind him. The fox tails were not only agile, but with each wave they could also summon the power of wind and thunder.

With another thought, the fox tail retracted, but its eyes flashed with a strange light; this was Lu Wu's True Eye.

As the name suggests, he can see the truth at a glance. Under his eyes, any illusion below the fourth level will have nowhere to hide.

Aside from the Wind and Thunder Nine-Tailed Fox and Lu Wu's True Eye.

The immense power bestowed by the Mountain Moving Rune.

The exorcising tiger claw is imbued with exorcising runes.

The damage reduction rune grants a spirit-suppressing shield.

The black tiger demon cloud bestowed by the Sky-Soaring Rune.

······
Every move they make carries the force of thunder and lightning.

With a flip of his hand, his strength condensed and did not dissipate, and the spiritual energy within a ten-zhang radius around him was completely drained, condensing into various forms such as earth, wind, water, and fire in his hand.

"Or perhaps ancient shamans, who could truly suppress heaven and earth with their power, shake the heavens and earth with their physical bodies, forcefully control wind, clouds, thunder and rain, and subdue all living things and phenomena!"

Having just acquired the power of the third tier, Su Qing couldn't help but use the Nine Li Zhuyou technique.

He then remembered Zhu You's ability to divine the secrets of heaven.

Thinking about how the days ahead will be full of dangers, no matter how accurate or unrealistic it may seem, it's always good to give it a try.

Gathering all his energy, a crimson beam of light shot straight into the sky from his body.

The beam of light rose to a height of ten thousand feet before crashing into a transparent barrier.

Su Qing didn't know what this barrier was, but following the nature of the Jiuli shamans, he vowed not to return until he hit a wall.

And so, the pillar of blood was repeatedly deflected by the transparent barrier, only to regroup and crash into it again and again. "Will you talk or not!"

"It can't be said, it must not be said!"

"If you don't tell me, I'll crash again!"

"I won't say a word even if you hit it again!"

I'll run you over!

"Are you really that headless? Aren't you afraid of killing yourself?"

I'll run you over!

"Fine, I give up! Here's a heads-up: don't come back next time!"

Su Qing could almost hear two little people arguing in her mind.

One is the barrier, and the other is himself.

He wasn't stubborn, but what could he do? The Jiuli Zhuyou technique required such stubbornness to gain access to the Heavenly Secrets.

During the collision with the sky, hot blood kept surging into his throat, but he swallowed it all back down. His body kept cracking, and he had countless cuts inside and out.

Even the tiger eggs on its body have developed cracks, showing signs of needing to be remade right after they came out of the oven.

Performing the Jiuli Zhuyou ritual is very arduous.

Fortunately, the creatures in the sky were quite sensible.

After he adopted the stance that he would die if he didn't reveal the secrets of heaven.

Whether out of pity or admiration, after the crimson pillar of light returned, a string of information inexplicably appeared in his mind.

"First follow the witch, then follow the witch, then follow the witch a third time, and you will gain life and fortune!"

He didn't mind if he succumbed to the witch.

But once wasn't enough; I had to do it three times!
Is Su Qing really that worthless?
He vomited and swallowed many mouthfuls of essence and blood, damaging his body and injuring his tiger testicles. The secrets of the incantation he obtained were only a few words.

He had no idea how the witch, being part of the Hundred Beast Demon Vein, could help him, nor did he know what great things the witch was planning to do, and that she was going to do three things at once!

"Forget it, you can't force things. The divination methods of Zhu You are not necessarily accurate. Let's wait for that old Taoist Tong to come to me and let him try to calculate it using normal methods."

Su Qing shook her head, swallowed a Blood Restoration Pill provided by Guo Qiaolian, and began to repair the tiger egg, which was already covered in wounds before it could even enjoy its transformation.

Meanwhile, the panel's notification arrived, albeit late.

[Independently crafted a biomimetic armored puppet—Feng Lei Lu Wu. This puppet's proficiency increases by 10. Current proficiency: 10/50]

"The proficiency requirement for a third-tier puppet is really that low? Just by crafting five tiger eggs, you can max out the success rate?"

Su Qing was initially startled, but then thought it was normal.

After all, the higher the level of the puppet, the rarer the materials and techniques required for its creation. Moreover, unexpected situations may occur during each creation process, making it difficult to maintain the same stability as first and second-tier puppets such as lizard knights.

“Other materials don’t have the independent consciousness of a tiger egg. Even I would have a hard time replicating the exact same Feng Lei Lu Wu. No matter how low the skill requirement is, it’s impossible to get it through grinding!”

[Solely crafted a Tier 3 puppet, upgrading the Puppeteer's skill to Tier 3. The success rate of crafting all Tier 3 puppets is permanently increased by 10%]

[Divine sense has improved; current divine sense strength: mid-stage Golden Core.]

Tier 3 Puppet Master!
In times of peace, their status was even higher than that of a Golden Core cultivator.

It's only because the two immortal kingdoms of Desire Demon Cloud Mountain are fighting each other to the death that he, with his current status as a third-tier puppeteer, would definitely be living a very prosperous life!
"A talent like mine can only truly shine in a land of thriving commerce like the archipelago!"

Su Qing muttered to himself, already feeling quite impatient to go to the Western Sea and become the island lord!
I've heard that the place is full of spirit crystals, lotus maidens can grow on their own if planted in a puddle, and there are also sea maidens with melodious songs and sea spirits with unrestrained natures.

Even the most wanton woman could outdo the Taoist priest's beautiful snake.
I just don't believe it, I'm determined to see for myself!
