60: Refining puppet

"Revered Master, Saint has arrived."

Li Yunfei and Su Changqing walked into the main hall one after another, and Li Yunfei quickly shouted loudly.

Hearing the words "Saint", Wang Qingyun instantly appeared before everyone, a look of joy spreading across her face.

"Saint's presence truly brings glory and splendor to my Bibo Peak..."

Su Changqing: "????"

Why does this sound so familiar?

Damn, as expected of a Revered Master and Disciple from the same lineage!

Su Changqing cleared his throat and said with a chuckle:

"I hope Peak Lord Wang won't mind my disturbance at Bibo Peak today."

Mind?

How could she mind!

Wang Qingyun was too excited to even think about it.

She had been tossing and turning for days, afraid that Su Changqing and Gu Xiran still held some grievances against her. Now, Su Changqing's initiative to visit Bibo Peak represented a signal of goodwill, so how could she not be excited.

"No, no, no, how could I? Saint's presence is more than welcome; I'm thrilled! Next time, Saint, please send someone to inform me, and I will wait at the foot of the mountain."

Wang Qingyun said quickly, her words carrying a hint of flattery.

Li Yunfei, standing beside her, widened his eyes.

Damn?

Revered Master, why do I feel like you're even more of a sycophant than me?

Of course, Li Yunfei would never dare to say such a thing.

He was afraid of being expelled from the Sect.

Su Changqing chuckled softly.

"Saint, may I ask what brings you to my Bibo Peak?"

Wang Qingyun asked cautiously.

Su Changqing said with a smile:

"Indeed, there is something."

"I'd like to ask Peak Lord Wang to help me acquire some Materials for refining Puppets."

Materials for refining Puppets?

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingyun was momentarily confused.

Puppet Revered Masters are relatively rare, unlike Alchemists and Artifact Refiners, who are more numerous. Very few can refine Puppets.

What did Su Changqing need these Materials for?

However, Wang Qingyun was smart enough not to ask.

Did Saint need to report his actions to her?

What was she, Wang Qingyun, to him?

Moreover, Saint entrusting this matter to her clearly showed his trust in Wang Qingyun, which was also a good opportunity to strengthen her relationship with Su Changqing.

Therefore, Wang Qingyun did not hesitate and immediately affirmed:

"Saint, rest assured, everyone at Bibo Peak will do their utmost to find them."

Hearing this, Su Changqing nodded with satisfaction, a smile on his face.

"In that case, I will trouble Peak Lord Wang."

"What are you saying, Saint? These minor matters are no trouble at all. Let alone searching for Materials to refine Puppets, even if you asked everyone at Bibo Peak to risk their lives for Saint, we would not hesitate."

Wang Qingyun spoke with righteous indignation and genuine sincerity.

Su Changqing smiled slightly upon hearing this.

However, this also indirectly showed that Su Changqing now held extremely high prestige within the Tai Xuan Sect.

After all, his Saint position was honorably won, and his Revered Master had even achieved a Breakthrough to the Saint Realm.

He possessed talent, strength, and background.

Who would dare to disobey?

After chatting with Wang Qingyun for a few moments, Su Changqing departed.

Watching Su Changqing's receding figure, a smile appeared on Wang Qingyun's face.

"Revered Master, why do you think Saint needs Materials to refine Puppets? Could it be that he also knows how to refine Puppets?"

Li Yunfei asked, somewhat puzzled.

However, upon hearing this, Wang Qingyun's expression turned cold:

"Saint's matters are not to be discussed behind his back. Just do what is asked with diligence."

"Our Saint's talent is unprecedented, and his future achievements are limitless. He might even achieve a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm. Remember, stick close to Saint, do more, and ask less!"

Wang Qingyun's words startled Li Yunfei.

Emperor... Emperor Realm?

He hadn't expected Saint's status to be so high in his Revered Master's heart.

However, he wasn't a fool either, and he kept his Revered Master's words in mind.

"Yes, Disciple obeys. From now on, I will follow Saint's lead in all things."

Wang Qingyun nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.

Good.

That's more like it.

"Mm, Saint's talent is extremely high, and it's not impossible for him to dabble in Puppet Technique. Alright, you go handle it. Mobilize Bibo Peak's Disciples to search for Materials to refine Puppets, and then send them to Lingyun Peak. Remember, you must deliver them yourself."

Wang Qingyun advised.

This was actually giving Li Yunfei an opportunity.

After all, finding a large quantity of Materials for refining Puppets and then having Li Yunfei personally deliver them to Lingyun Peak was an opportunity for him to build a good relationship with Saint.

As her Personal Disciple, Wang Qingyun was still quite attentive.

Li Yunfei was naturally not a fool; he instantly understood his Revered Master's intentions and excitedly said:

"Yes, thank you, Revered Master. Disciple will not fail your trust."

"Mm."

Wang Qingyun nodded with a smile.

.........

Leaving Bibo Peak, Su Changqing returned to his residence.

Time passed quickly, and Bibo Peak's actions were even faster. In just two days, a continuous stream of Materials for refining Puppets was delivered. There were numerous Materials ranging from first-grade to seventh-grade, which showed the Tai Xuan Sect's profound heritage.

Whether it was a Puppet Revered Master or any other profession, countless practice sessions are required to improve.

However, for most Martial Artists, there simply aren't such opportunities.

But for Su Changqing, the Tai Xuan Sect Saint, this was not an issue.

The Legacy of Puppet Technique provided by the system was very profound, containing methods for refining Puppets from first-grade to ninth-grade.

Su Changqing concentrated and began to refine Puppets.

First-grade Puppet, Crimson Serpent.

This was a relatively basic low-grade Puppet, but quite practical, capable of matching the strength of a Qi Refining Peak, which was not bad.

The Nine Nether Bone Spirit Fire flickered in Su Changqing's hand, its cold white flames carrying endless energy, as if capable of incinerating everything.

He carefully controlled the flame's temperature. A piece of profound iron floated above the cold white flames; this was to forge the Crimson Serpent's skeleton, followed by the incorporation of other components.

Perhaps due to his Alchemy experience, Su Changqing's fire control abilities had greatly improved.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Crimson Serpent took shape.

A mechanical snake, over half a meter long, appeared before him. This Crimson Serpent was reddish-brown all over, looking no different from a real snake.

Su Changqing controlled it with his Divine Sense, and the Crimson Serpent began to move.

With his Mental Energy, controlling a first-grade Puppet was naturally effortless.

"Not bad, it's solidified and shaped. Its power can probably match an ordinary Qi Refining Peak Martial Artist."

Su Changqing assessed the strength of this Crimson Serpent Puppet and said with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Wang Cai, upon seeing this, showed a hint of curiosity. It approached the Crimson Serpent, gently scratching its scales with its claws.

"Hiss."

Quite interesting.

Wang Cai became excited, playing happily with the Crimson Serpent.

Su Changqing smiled upon seeing this, allowing Wang Cai to play with the Crimson Serpent.

"The Saint Conferment Ceremony is in twenty days. I expect my Puppet Technique will have made significant progress by then. When the various forces from Heavenly Martial Continent come to observe, I can certainly show off a bit."

Su Changqing mused to himself, a smile on his face.

As the Tai Xuan Sect Saint, he had no need to hide any of his strength.

Trouble?

The Sect would handle it for him.

All he needed to do was display his strength.
