Li Yunjing clenched his fists, his eyes flickering with a firm light, and carefully absorbed the "Five Dragon Wheel" into his body, continuing to protect his five internal organs.

At this moment, Li Yunjing looked towards the place where Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao were in seclusion cultivating.

The three were cultivating normally, showing no signs of breakthrough in their cultivation or indications of practicing Divine Techniques.

"Forget it! I might as well take advantage of the time to refine more ’Puppet Mechanism Beasts!’"

Li Yunjing thought for a moment but still did not disturb everyone.

The teacher had not replied, evidently still battling within the "Nascent Soul Realm" trial field.

He still had plenty of time!

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing once again calmed down, took out the materials required for refining Tier Two and even Tier Three "Puppet Mechanism Beasts," and prepared to refine them.

This time, he would not refine Tier One "Puppet Mechanism Beasts" anymore but directly refine Tier Two, and only attempt to break through to Tier Three once he had a certain quantity.

A mountain of materials lay piled in the center of the cave: Profound Iron, Refined Copper, Spirit Wood... Various Spiritual Materials shone with a ghostly glow, and hundreds of crystal-clear Tier Two and Tier Three Demon Cores lay scattered like glittering stars.

Li Yunjing thought it over and decided to take out a piece of "Thousand-Year Cold Iron," which held bone-chilling coldness and was an excellent material for refining puppet skeletons.

The "Samadhi True Fire" ignited from his fingertips, enveloping the Cold Iron in an instant; under the high-temperature refining, the Cold Iron emitted a piercing screech, and the impurities on the surface evaporated as dark mist.

Li Yunjing was fully focused, allowing the Cold Iron to continuously reshape during the melting process.

Once the Cold Iron had turned to liquid, he swiftly threw a Tier Two Ice Attribute Demon Core into it.

The moment the Demon Core encountered the fire, it erupted with an intense chill, clashing with the "Samadhi True Fire," causing the cave’s temperature to plummet suddenly, the ground instantly covering with a layer of frost.

Had it not been for the restrictions set up, the cultivation of Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao would have been disturbed.

Li Yunjing dared not relax even a bit, forming seals with his hands rapidly, while chanting, "Using spirit as a guide, force as the bond, shape my puppet!"

With the spell completed, the liquid Cold Iron and Demon Core began to merge, gradually forming a skeleton that radiated an icy blue light.

Immediately, he took out Spirit Wood, which he had obtained from the Nangong Family’s treasury and contained potent Vitality Power.

Nourished by Spiritual Energy, the Spirit Wood automatically grew into the shape of limbs and a torso, which Li Yunjing perfectly joined with the skeleton.

At this point, Li Yunjing took out the "Jade Flower Celestial Brush" and continuously inscribed mysterious runes, integrating them into various parts of the puppet’s body to reinforce its structure.

The crucial moment arrived, and Li Yunjing needed to infuse intelligence into the puppet.

He took out several Jade Scrolls, which contained his meticulously researched puppet control spells.

As the Jade Scrolls transformed into light and entered the puppet’s forehead, the puppet’s eyes suddenly glowed with a ghostly blue light, beginning to move its limbs autonomously.

The next moment, Li Yunjing sent a strand of Divine Sense into the Jade Scroll, embedding it into the "Puppet Mechanism Beast’s" body.

"Buzz!"

The Spiritual Energy inside the cave fluctuated violently, and the array patterns on the "Puppet Mechanism Beast" lit up, its movements becoming smoother and more natural, even capable of making simple judgments based on its surroundings.

"Not bad! At least it has Tier Two Peak combat power!"

Li Yunjing finally showed a satisfied smile.

This Tier Two "Puppet Mechanism Beast" not only possessed formidable Ice Element attack capabilities but also had a certain degree of autonomous awareness, far surpassing ordinary Tier Two puppets.

With the successful refinement of the first puppet, Li Yunjing’s confidence increased significantly, and he began mass production.

While refining, he adjusted the material ratios and refining techniques based on experience.

A month later, Li Yunjing had refined a hundred and twenty Tier Two Peak "Puppet Mechanism Beasts."

These "Puppet Mechanism Beasts," aside from being used in his own Dao Field, also had a part reserved for the "Star Moon Trading Company" and, finally, some for his women, ensuring they were adequately equipped for self-defense.

Having refined such an army of "Puppet Mechanism Beasts," Li Yunjing’s puppetry had become more skillful, granting him a deeper understanding of Tier Three.

He decided to attempt to break through to Tier Three.

This time, Li Yunjing took out even more precious materials.

A piece of meteoric iron containing Thunder Power and a Tier Three Thunder Attribute Demon Core.

The refinement process for a Tier Three "Puppet Mechanism Beast" was several times more challenging than imagined, with the violent power contained in the Thunder Attribute Demon Core being particularly hard to control.

Li Yunjing practically exhausted all his Spiritual Power just to suppress the raging energy.

"Pfft..."

Seeing that normal refinement seemed fraught with difficulties, Li Yunjing bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of Essence Blood, sprinkling it over the "Puppet Mechanism Beast."

He wanted to use the power of Blood Sacrifice to complete the refinement!

"Inscribe!"

Li Yunjing, enduring weakness, formed seals again, shouting.

The moment the Essence Blood seeped into the puppet’s core, the meteoric iron skeleton emitted a dragon-like roar, fine cracks appeared on its surface, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment.

Li Yunjing’s face was pale as paper, but he stared intently at the puppet’s forehead.

The array patterns there visibly warped, while the rampant power from the Demon Core, akin to a beast breaking free from its cage, shattered the injected Divine Sense to pieces.

"Merge for me!"

Li Yunjing pressed both palms against the puppet’s chest, his Mana gushing out like a flood.

Even the "Ancient Bronze Bell" flew out, suddenly hovering above the "Puppet Mechanism Beast’s" head, bell mouth upside down, soundwaves transforming into tangible chains, forcibly compressing the unruly Thunder Attribute power.
