Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 82 - 77: New - - Upper Sun Country Concluded!

Besides Elixir Pills, the rest were talisman devices, processed Refining Materials, etc. Additionally, the Artifact Refining Room and Alchemy Room had to be moved into the Giant Turtle Puppet. The Giant Turtle Puppet was massive, its belly hollow, and comparable to Lu Qingfeng's Alchemy Cave Mansion and Artifact Refining Cave Mansion.

During the journey of the Giant Turtle Puppet, performing Alchemy and Artifact Refining was rather extravagant. After all, both required utmost precision, and even slight jolts could lead to the failure of a batch of Elixir Pills or a Puppet component.

However, as long as the Giant Turtle Puppet stopped, there was no need to spend time setting up, allowing both the Alchemy Room and Artifact Refining Room to function and save considerable time.

There were many trivial matters.

Three days passed in a blink.

...

That day.

Outside Fujiang Cliff, a dark shadow swept across the sky. Disciples performing morning exercises looked up, spotting a massive Double-headed Duck flying overhead, with a woman in goose-yellow attire standing on its back.

"Double-headed Duck."

"It's the Miao Yin City Lord!"

"It's said that Miao Yin City Lord is among the top powerhouses in the entire Upper Sun Country. She always personally comes to Fujiang Cliff. The three Ancestor Masters are indeed formidable."

...

The disciples were already accustomed to the frequent visits of Miao Yin City Lord riding the Double-headed Duck to Fujiang Cliff, and respected the three Ancestor Masters—Lu Qingfeng, Lu Qingshan, and Lu Qingyu—even more.

Behind the mountains of Fujiang Cliff.

The Double-headed Duck floated in the air, Miao Yin Daoist landed, and immediately saw the massive entity sprawled in front of Lu Qingfeng's cave mansion!

"Is this the Giant Turtle Puppet that Qingyu mentioned?"

Miao Yin Daoist's gaze swept from the four giant turtles in front of her towards Lu Qingfeng, marveling.

"City Lord Sister, I didn't lie to you, did I!"

Before Lu Qingfeng could speak, Lu Qingyu's voice emerged from one of the Giant Turtle Puppets. Soon after, a segment of the shell on the central Giant Turtle Puppet opened, and Lu Qingyu popped half of his body out.

"Big Brother."

"City Lord."

Lu Qingshan was also rushing down from the mountain at this time.

"City Lord Sister, this is Giant Turtle number one, it's Big Brother's. This is Giant Turtle number two, it's yours. This is Giant Turtle number three, mine. That Giant Turtle number four, is Second Brother's."

Lu Qingyu jumped down from the Giant Turtle Puppet, grabbed Miao Yin Daoist's arm excitedly and started introducing them. He was particularly thrilled about the journey ahead.

"And there's one for me?"

Miao Yin Daoist looked towards Lu Qingfeng.

"Of course."

Lu Qingfeng nodded, pointing to the leftmost Giant Turtle Puppet, and said, "Let me show you inside; once we refine the Thousand Machine Stone, we can set off."

Miao Yin Daoist had helped them, the siblings, quite a lot over the years. Lu Qingfeng was willing to part with a Giant Turtle Puppet for her.

Moreover, after entering the Crying Swamp, it wasn't safe to let Miao Yin Daoist continue using the Double-headed Duck for transportation. It also wasn't convenient for her to squeeze with Lu Qingyu, so they decided to refine a Giant Turtle Puppet for Miao Yin Daoist as well.

This also freed up more space to store various Refining Materials.

"Okay."

Curious, Miao Yin Daoist followed behind Lu Qingfeng. Even among the Three Mountains and Nine Waters, she had never seen such a colossal Puppet. This was truly an eye-opener.

From the outside—

The Giant Turtle Puppet was over four meters tall and fifteen meters long, resembling a small building. The shell alone was thirteen meters long, inscribed with vast and complex Defensive Magic Arrays. Even standing still, a cultivator at the True Qi Realm couldn't breach its defenses. If the Defensive Magic Arrays were fully activated, it could withstand attacks even from practitioners at the Energy Introduction Realm.

Simultaneously, it could also emit Thunder Fire to attack enemies. It was invincible in the Postnatal Realm, and masters in the Energy Introduction Realm would need potent Magic Artifacts to withstand it.

Inside the Giant Turtle Puppet, a space measuring three meters in height, twelve meters in length, and over five meters in width was sufficient for daily living and cultivation.

However, Lu Qingfeng had used much of the space to carry more Refining Materials, leaving not much room for Miao Yin Daoist to move around. She could walk and practice normally without issues, but doing other activities there might be a bit cramped.

"It's indeed refined!"

Miao Yin Daoist listened as Lu Qingfeng introduced and assessed the puppet from top to bottom, unable to hold back his admiration. Being able to create such a powerful puppet within Upper Sun Country, Miao Yin Daoist increasingly suspected that Lu Qingfeng was a reincarnation of an old monster.

After a few years of interaction, he felt that the twenty-year-old young man in front of him emitted a sense of the years that did not belong to his age bracket.

And every time they met, he was different.

This made Miao Yin Daoist somewhat unable to fathom him.

Though he remained composed on the surface, he did not dare to neglect him in his heart.

Lu Qingfeng wasn't aware of what Miao Yin Daoist was thinking; he walked to the core of the Giant Turtle Puppet, pointing downwards, "This is the puppet core, the Thousand Machine Stone. After it's refined, it can be controlled. Two Spirit Stones are placed in the Spirit Core Array, they are not to be used casually, they are meant for emergency situations only, do not misuse them."

"The situation at Crying Swamp is unknown; it all relies on this Giant Turtle Puppet for mobility and self-defense."

"Spirit Stones?"

Miao Yin Daoist raised an eyebrow.

She had been in Upper Sun Country for several decades, and the few Spirit Stones she had brought with her in the early years had long been used up. She had not seen any Spirit Stones appearing in Upper Sun Country over the years.

Giant Turtle Puppet!

Various Elixir Pills!

And now even Spirit Stones were brought out.

"Thank you."

Miao Yin Daoist looked at Lu Qingfeng's face, suppressed her curiosity, and crisply thanked him. It was difficult to refuse a puppet of this caliber when it was right in front of her, and she didn't want to spoil the relationship with Lu Qingfeng by being distant.

"You're welcome."

"City Lord should refine it first; afterwards we can leave."

Lu Qingfeng finished speaking and left the Giant Turtle Puppet.

Watching Lu Qingfeng leave, Miao Yin Daoist's eyes sparkled with intensity, and then she immediately sat down cross-legged and began to refine the Thousand Machine Stone.

The Giant Turtle Puppet refined for Miao Yin Daoist by Lu Qingfeng, whether in terms of defensive power, attack power, or speed, was almost no different from his, Lu Qingshan, and Qingyu's.

The only thing that was weakened was the Thousand Machine Stone.

A sensing distance of seven thousand three hundred miles was rare in the Primordial Bingling Realm and Red Smoke Realm, and it was likely the same in reality.

It's tricky to know people by their faces but not their hearts.

Therefore, it's crucial to guard against others!

Although their interactions over the past few years were good, Lu Qingfeng still decided to be cautious.

He reduced the sensing distance of the Giant Turtle Puppet refined for her to ten miles, making it one of the better autonomous puppets, but not overly miraculous.

The various properties of the Giant Turtle Puppet revealed by Lu Qingyu to Miao Yin Daoist were all consulted with Lu Qingfeng before being disclosed; particularly, the sensing distance was purposefully omitted. Lu Qingyu was very cautious; without her elder brother's agreement, she wouldn't reveal anything to Miao Yin Daoist, who she felt close to.

About half an hour later.

Miao Yin Daoist refined the Thousand Machine Stone, and the four giant turtle puppets moved simultaneously.

Special tendons inside, engraved with talisman arrays, sometimes tightened and sometimes loosened, with Spiritual Energy from all directions gathering and being refined into Spiritual Power by the Spirit Core Array, driving the movement-related talisman arrays throughout the body of the Giant Turtle Puppet, producing a heavy sound as they moved, causing the nearby earth to shake.

The eight hundred ton Giant Turtle Puppet, with each step it took, was like hundreds of wild beasts running rampant.

Thundering along, they hurried towards Crying Swamp in the east.

Four and a half years ago.

Lu Qingfeng, along with Qingshan and Qingyu, escaped from the Returning to Truth Sect. Three years ago, they obliterated the Returning to Truth Sect.

It felt like only yesterday.

Looking through the Giant Turtle Puppet towards the increasingly distant Fujiang Cliff, Lu Qingfeng momentarily felt as if he was leaving Yellow Ganoderma Mountain on a small boat.

"Chirp chirp~"

"Chirp chirp chirp!~"

Nine larks flew in front of the four-headed Giant Turtle Puppet, chirping away as they all headed far away.
