Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 93 Annihilate the puppet!
Any puppet that is widely circulated in the spiritual practice community.

These are all mature products that have been painstakingly researched and repeatedly verified by puppeteers.

The materials required for these puppets, the proportions of the various materials, and the specific steps in the refining process are all extremely important.

The most important thing is to determine what kind of runes can be paired with this puppet.

It's not to say that any puppet can withstand an unlimited number of runes.

For example, the golden wolf head that Su Qing crafted for Niu Ya could not draw intelligent runes.

Otherwise, this puppet would need Niu Ya to supply energy with his own blood and qi, and with prolonged use, the connection with his main body would become even stronger.

Who knows, one day, the intelligent runes might mutate, and Niu Ya might have a second person vying for control of his body.

The probability is extremely small, but it is not impossible.

In addition, excess runes may be too much for the puppet materials to handle, or they may conflict with the main runes...

All of these reasons prevent puppeteers from indiscriminately applying runes to their puppets.

Su Qing, however, wanted to draw three types of runes for the Gale Cannon: intelligent runes, spatial runes, and material runes!

Space runes and material runes are the means to change the size of an object.

Intelligent runes, on the other hand, give it the ability to automatically lock onto opponents and fire the appropriate shot at the right time.

After all, he didn't have time to be a gunner.

"There shouldn't be too much of a problem with the spatial runes and material runes. I've heard that the Penglai Immortal Kingdom has kept the Gale Cannon for its own use, which has the ability to change its size."

However, there might be a problem with smart runes. There haven't been any reports of large numbers of cannon operators losing their jobs in recent years, because no one has yet been able to successfully apply smart runes to the cannon golem.

Although intelligent runes are difficult to obtain, there are many talented individuals in the cultivation world.

Su Qing did not believe that the major immortal kingdoms lacked puppeteers capable of drawing intelligent runes.

Since they couldn't even manage to draw the intelligent runes onto the magic cannon golem, it would be very difficult for him to do so as well.

But I'd feel a bit unsatisfied if I didn't give it a try.

As he had predicted, both the spatial runes and the material runes were successfully drawn onto the Gale Cannon.

It allows it to freely switch between a palm-sized model and an armored giant cannon.

However, once the intelligent rune was drawn and activated, the cannon muzzle began to spin wildly, which startled Su Qing and made her tremble slightly. Fortunately, it did not fire the cannon wildly; it simply disintegrated on its own.

"So what if you don't have a brain? You can be a mindless and ruthless gunner!"

After trying it again, Su Qing regretfully gave up on her attempt to equip the turret with a brain.

At this point, the modified Gale Cannon was complete.

Next, he focused his energy on modifying the mother-and-child boomerang.

Because it is a first-order ultimate magic weapon, even if he were to control it with his own magic power, he could only last for three breaths at most, not even one more.

Therefore, the first step is to transform it into a self-reliant puppet.

Deal with the smaller darts first; they are the main force in the battle and cannot be taken lightly.

By mixing spirit wood with black iron essence to enrich its internal structure, it becomes more durable and gains the ability to activate bionic runes.

The camouflage performance is further enhanced by mixing the wings of a stealth bee with color-changing gold and coating its surface.

Then, it is mixed with Heavenly Spirit Gold to enhance its toughness and strength, so that even after a salvo from the magic cannon, the scimitar can still have a certain offensive capability and can withstand the several runes that need to be drawn next.

After the main structure was completed, Su Qing felt that there should be no major problems.

He then began to draw runes.

In terms of the second-tier biomimetic rune arrangement, this time the biomimetic creature is not the Hidden Winged Bird, but another first-tier demon king-level demon beast called the Wind Sword Falcon. This demon beast is known for its speed; as it streaks through the air, its extreme speed makes its wings resemble sword blades.

When dealing with enemies, it often approaches them at top speed and suddenly uses its wings to slash them, until the prey is covered in bruises before finally ending the battle with satisfaction.

They are considered notorious psychopaths among demonic beasts, and few cultivators dare to provoke them.

Therefore, the materials for the Wind Sword Falcon are extremely rare. He had asked about them once at the Baibao Shop and learned that even the main Baibao Shop in the central area did not have the materials for this monster.

This forced him to settle for second best, replacing the feathers of the Wind Saber with the wings of a Roc.

Due to material limitations, even though he inscribed the second-order bionic runes in the shape of a wind sword falcon.

However, once activated, the Wind Sword Falcon's most formidable features—its speed and sword-like wings—will likely be difficult to replicate.

The only advantage might be that the cloaking ability of the Rovebird can be inherited.

Second-tier intelligent runes should naturally be included; this magic cannon is brainless, so let's just leave it be.

If this cannon carriage also loses its brain, what if it randomly fires at people?
Intelligent runes are Su Qing's favorite type of rune. He will try to equip any puppet he creates with them, whether he has the means or not, including the previous Gale Cannon.

Unfortunately, it was given the opportunity, but it proved useless.

Because it was crafted using the puppet-type puppet technique given on the panel.

Therefore, unlike the Gale Cannon, the Bullet has the condition of being equipped with a brain.

With the intelligent runes completed, the next step is the combat runes.

Those with brains always have to take on more tasks than those without.

In complex battles, how to conceal oneself using the environment, how to evade the opponent's attacks, and how to suddenly appear and catch the opponent off guard.

All of these require sufficient combat wisdom.

Su Qing himself is a complete weakling in combat; he has never personally experienced battle and lacks the wisdom in this area.

But if you can't do it yourself, then the puppet must.

He wasn't as proficient with second-tier combat runes as he was with intelligent runes and biomimetic runes, but his skill with these runes had improved significantly recently as he crafted combat puppets such as the Dual-Blade Lizard.

According to his estimation, when the Black Boys carry him to the ninth level of Qi Refining, he might not only be able to draw third-order bionic runes, but his combat runes and intelligence runes could also be upgraded to the third order.

Now that the second-tier combat runes have been drawn...

Su Qing then drew second-tier material runes and first-tier space runes for it, allowing it to have the ability to change its form, just like the Gale Cannon.

Thus, the dart was considered to be complete.

After the dart was enlarged, its biomimetic form became even clearer.

All that could be seen was its sharp beak and wings that changed color with the air. With a little effort, four curved blades could be revealed hidden between its wings.

Its slightly rounded body can fold its wings and transform into a triangular streamlined shape when it takes flight, allowing it to maximize its speed.

According to Su Qing's comparison, the dart at this time has a stealth ability that is almost the same as that of the hummingbirds, but its speed and attack power are much stronger than those of the hummingbirds.

After nodding in satisfaction, he immediately conjured another Gale Cannon.

Hang the two cannons between the wings of the darts respectively.

After letting Zibiao load the magic cannon and hover in the air for a while, and successfully activate the magic cannon, he fired a gust of wind blades to cut down an ancient tree that he had long disliked, which was blocking the light from the spirit house.

Only then did he realize that the combination of the dart and the Gale Cannon was worthy of being named by him.

"An annihilation puppet? Or a stealth bomber puppet?"
Alright, let's just call it J-1. The ones we build next will be numbered accordingly, J-2, J-3, and so on, until J-36.
