Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 84 Initial Training of the Substitute Doll
Orioles and swallows, with lotus-like arms and tender legs.

There aren't that many romantic escapades; they're all just heartbreaking stories that older sisters and younger sisters tell their younger brothers.

After staying with Tang Wanqing for a few days, Su Qing couldn't take it anymore.

After crafting several dual-blade lizards, he fled back to his original dwelling.

"I've neglected my herbal soaks and boxing these past few days, and instead of improving my qi and blood, it's actually decreased. What a sin!"

After moving out of the female cultivators' quarters, Su Qing reflected on her actions over the past few days and was immediately filled with remorse.

His blood and energy levels were already lower than those of ordinary people, so how could he possibly bear to hear the heartbreaking stories of his sisters?

Even though no money was given.

But next time, we can't do it again!

He secretly reminded himself not to be seduced by wine and women.

He then began to consider the threat posed by the witch.

After exchanging ideas with Tang Wanqing over the past few days, I learned about the various abilities of a Foundation Establishment cultivator from her.

He finally realized what was going on.

He originally thought it was because of his keen senses that he discovered it early, plus the fact that the puppets were both strong and resilient.

He barely escaped with his life from the clutches of the witch Liu Yun'er.

But after Tang Wanqing's explanation, I thought about it more carefully.

For an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, using Xuan-level Dao techniques is effortless. Even with puppets blocking his way, taking Su Qing's head from a distance of tens of meters is as easy as taking candy from a baby.

Liu Yun'er is no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. As one of the strongest true disciples of the Desire Demon Sect in this generation, she possesses the cultivation of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.

If someone really wanted to kill me, a single glare might be an exaggeration, but if they just pointed a finger at me, I definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it!

This is because there is a huge gap between their cultivation levels.

This is also because all his puppets are only at the first level.

An existence so powerful it was almost like a dimensional reduction attack, descending upon him, leaving him neither alive nor dead, solely because whether or not the being truly intended to kill him had nothing to do with his own efforts.

Su Qing was slightly disappointed when this judgment came to light.

He originally thought he was doing pretty well, and if he put his Explosive War Bear and the Swarm of Hummingbirds on the line and underwent a Foundation Establishment and major repair, he might be able to put up a fight.

Reality, however, told him that no matter how outstanding the puppets produced by the panel were among puppets of the same level.

He still couldn't transcend the limitations of a first-tier puppet, and was simply unable to reach the level of standing shoulder to shoulder with a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Unless he can create a second-tier puppet!
Speaking of which, there have been some unexpected gains in the past few days.

That was due to the persistent training of the Black Children.

His cultivation level broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

It was earlier than he had imagined.

Perhaps his sisters helped him find peace of mind.

Su Qing didn't think that much about it. He was already being targeted by a witch at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. What difference did it make if he was at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining?

some.

For example, he can now control 30% more puppets than before.

The fifth and sixth levels of Qi Refining are still within the mid-stage of Qi Refining. While magical power and spiritual awareness have increased, there has been no qualitative change.

Given that the lizard warriors performed poorly in previous battles, or even were utterly useless.

He decided to eliminate them from his team.

"Dual-blade lizards, ten of them form a team, responsible for melee attacks."

Dual-stick war bears provide meat shield protection; four are sufficient.

"With the remaining divine sense, I'll see if I can refine those twin boomerangs into puppets, and maybe one or two more Explosive Hammer War Bears. That should be enough."

Su Qing made arrangements for her team's upcoming tasks.

But upon closer reflection, even if a different batch of puppets were used, they wouldn't pose much of a threat to the witch.

"So, even though that witch is so strong, she came to the front camp and didn't come to kill me. She's just a lunatic!" The thought process of the Demon Sect disciples is different from that of ordinary cultivators. It's not surprising that they are lunatics.
Su Qing has no way of verifying whether Liu Yun'er has mental problems.

But whether she kills herself or not is not entirely up to her whim.

"After breaking through in cultivation, the range of divine sense has expanded to five miles. In other words, the teleportation range of the substitute doll has increased to five miles. If two dolls are prepared and teleported continuously, that's ten miles!"

While the peak of Foundation Establishment is terrifying, traveling ten miles in an instant is something she cannot do unless she has also studied spatial techniques!

"Judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem like someone who studies hard. Her spatial abilities are so profound; how could someone with her looks possibly master them?"

The faces of her top-performing female classmates from her past life flashed through her mind, and Su Qing became even more certain of her judgment.

He took out several materials related to the substitute doll.

Preparing to refine this doll for the first time.

The main structure of the doll series is mostly the same as that of the Black Doll.

Carve the wood, sprinkle water and mud, and brush out the skin.

However, there is a slight difference between a substitute doll and a meditation doll.

Its skin is made by grinding hollow bamboo into bamboo paste, and then coloring it with the bamboo paste.

After brushing, the doll turned a vibrant green, looking much more energetic than the black doll.

After applying the skin, I began drawing the runes.

The second-tier bionic rune drawing requires mixing in his essence and blood so that the doll can suffer in his place.

The second-order intelligent rune drawing enables the doll to actively perceive dangers that it may or may not be aware of, appear in the right place at the right time, and sacrifice itself in the right way.

The second-order spatial runes were drawn to move him to a safe distance, so that he wouldn't sacrifice himself in vain while he himself was still waiting to die in the same spot.

Each rune has its own intricacies.

Therefore, crafting puppets has always been a complex subject.

It's normal to make mistakes when studying at a university.

Upon seeing the spatial rune he had drawn for the first time, he was, as expected, unsurprisingly, a complete failure.

Su Qing's mood wasn't too bad.

However, it's just repeating the previous steps again. After all, he hasn't even mastered first-order space runes yet. Going directly from nothing to second-order is a bit beyond his capabilities, so failure is inevitable.

failure.

failure.

Failure loop.

The loop failed.

[Failed to draw a second-tier spatial rune. Proficiency +10. Spatial rune proficiency: 120/1000 (not yet advanced)]

"If the success rate is like this, then we don't need to practice the puppet runes anymore. Let's focus on getting the space runes first!"

Su Qing sighed deeply, because the proficiency in runes could only be increased by crafting puppets.

Therefore, if he wants to upgrade the spatial runes separately, he still needs to do so when crafting the substitute doll.

However, one can approach the situation with the mindset of absolute failure and crudely create the approximate structure of the substitute doll.

For now, we will not pursue time-consuming and costly steps such as intelligent runes, bionic runes, golden roc feathers, and ethereal bamboo.

If you only work on the space runes first, you can reduce the need to increase the proficiency of these runes.

This is still an extremely tedious task.

The proficiency requirement for first-order spatial runes is not high.

If he tries to draw it more than twenty times a day, with failures and occasional successes, he might be able to reach the first-level perfection level in less than five days.

But he is actually very busy right now and cannot fully concentrate on drawing this rune.

"I have to rebuild my own puppet army and rush to complete the big order from Yunshan Sect. I'm so busy. How did I manage to stay with Tang Wanqing the other day? I should be anxious to death!"
