Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1974: 517: Tier-4 Puppet, Heading to Starry Sky Sea! (2)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
As the Immortal City's Master, Lu Changsheng remained oblivious to these issues and ignored them altogether. Right now, his complete concentration lay on aiding Qian Zhuyan in elevating the puppet's grade.
That particular day saw him flawlessly integrating a superior magical mirror artifact right into Qian Zhuyan's chest, functioning as a Heart Protecting Mirror to offer even greater protection to the puppet's internal core.
Following Qian Zhuyan's instructions, the pair collaborated to inscribe runes across the puppet's frame.
After quite some time, the Heart Protecting Mirror merged seamlessly with Qian Zhuyan's puppet form, generating a hidden qi linkage.
Now, Qian Zhuyan's puppet body achieved elevation from head to toe, within and without, reaching Fourth Rank quality!
"Fourth Rank Puppet!"
The soul fire in Qian Zhuyan's eye sockets flickered wildly, and her ghostly, raspy tone conveyed an extraordinary delight.
This delight stemmed not only from her ascent to a Fourth Rank Puppet!
It also arose from her successful personal creation of a Fourth Rank Puppet!
Previously, despite her firm belief and endless mental simulations, she had lacked any real opportunity to try.Currently, Lu Changsheng had not just fulfilled her ambition but also ignited prospects for her retribution!
"Thank you, Master!"
Qian Zhuyan bowed her hands to Lu Changsheng, sharing her elation and thanks.
Over the past year of collaboration, she had grown fond of Lu Changsheng, this skilled and alluring master.
After all, who could withstand a man so open-handed, kind, wise, and striking?
In particular, since Qian Zhuyan had poured her youth into cultivation, specializing in puppetry, without sparing a moment for love.
Suddenly facing a man as remarkable as Lu Changsheng, how could she not be swayed?
Were it not for the burning grudge etched in her soul and her puppet form rather than a flesh-and-blood one, she might have succumbed to Lu Changsheng's allure long ago.
Yes, indeed his allure.
During this year, while upgrading the puppet, Lu Changsheng had strived to deepen his bond with Qian Zhuyan to the fullest.
After all, a mere partnership held little value; genuine closeness was essential for unwavering loyalty.
Furthermore, through their extensive exchanges, Lu Changsheng had come to recognize Qian Zhuyan as a prodigy.
An absolute elite among talents!
Her excellence extended beyond puppetry alone; in artifact refining, she possessed remarkable aptitude!
She grasped and utilized numerous concepts and principles from the "Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinement Technique."
Should he impart the "Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinement Technique" to her, she would surely rise to become a Fourth Rank Artifact Refining Master down the line!
As both a Fourth Rank Puppet and an Artifact Refining Master, Lu Changsheng aimed to enlist her completely.
"Little Yan, no need for such formality. I've gained immensely from our time together lately."
Lu Changsheng replied, his expression brimming with satisfaction.
These weren't mere pleasantries.
Through discussions and knowledge-sharing on puppetry with Qian Zhuyan, his own puppetry expertise had advanced considerably.
He believed that Qian Zhuyan's input could refine his family's puppet methods, production facilities, and the Thousand Faces Puppet Fox.
Of course, the primary factor was that Qian Zhuyan's attainment of Fourth Rank quality boosted his own power to unprecedented heights!
"Little Yan, you've toiled relentlessly these days. Get some proper rest. Once I wrap up a few things, we'll set off for the Starry Sky Sea."
For an entire year, Qian Zhuyan had barely paused.
The issue of puppet spirit erosion had been swiftly addressed by Lu Changsheng's "Six Desires Heart Demon Technique."
Yet, sustained intense labor would still exhaust the soul, necessitating downtime for recovery.
"Mm."
Aware that Lu Changsheng was gearing up for the journey to the Starry Sky Sea, Qian Zhuyan's voice softened more than usual.
She then invoked her "Little Yan Technique" and slipped into slumber.
...
Exiting the Puppet Hall, Lu Changsheng devoted considerable time to his wife, seeking updates on happenings in Red Lotus Immortal City.
Learning that preparations for the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm were finalized and it would commence in three months, with numerous Lu Family Disciples joining, Lu Changsheng gave a subtle nod.
Realizing that affairs in Red Lotus and with Ling Zixiao proceeded smoother than he might have managed alone.
"Since rewards are on offer, why not go grand—make the top prize a Coagulation Crystal Elixir."
"If Xiao’er can't claim it, have Wangshu go for it!"
Hearing that Red Lotus had distributed 365 tokens across the secret realm, intending to declare lavish prizes for the top ten holders, Lu Changsheng chose to amp up the stakes.
This would ignite passion and drive among his offspring.
He held unshakeable faith in his children's abilities.
Lu Lingxiao by herself might find it tough to dominate the field.
Yet with Lu Wangshu teaming up, the duo could without doubt claim victory!
Should anyone else triumph in such a setup, Lu Changsheng would embrace it as his own humbling experience, vowing to avoid complacency, and to diligently guide and nurture his progeny.
"Offering a Coagulation Crystal Elixir as the prize will definitely turn this secret realm into a spectacle."
Red Lotus understood this move showcased Lu Changsheng's firm belief in the Lu Family Disciples.
However, it would heighten the challenge for Lu Lingxiao.
"If we're doing this, let's make it grand."
Lu Changsheng grinned faintly.
In the past, such lavishness had been beyond his means, too precious to spend.
But now, possessing five Coagulation Crystal Elixirs and three Jade Marrow Gold Ganoderma, he could spare one without issue.
Besides, as Dream Immortal City's Master, viewed by many as a Nascent Soul True Lord.
Staging a secret realm event on the cheap would tarnish his reputation in others' eyes.
"Oh, and soon Ling’er’s Core Formation will require your supervision."
Originally, Lu Changsheng had planned to assist his wife, Bai Ling, with core formation on this excursion.
But at present, time constraints made it impossible, so he delegated the responsibility to Red Lotus.
