The sixth-tier demonic beast, the Crimson Armored Earth Dragon, was killed, and Su Qing and the other two were also injured, so they had to turn back to Xueling City.

Su Qing, Xuan Qingye, and Xue Zheng returned to Xueling City and received a warm welcome from the city's garrison.

Xue Bocheng looked at his son, tears welling up in his eyes.

Xue Bocheng only had the aptitude of three spiritual roots, and his cultivation to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage was entirely due to the resources accumulated by the Xue family. His own son, on the other hand, had a single earth spiritual root. If he cultivated diligently in the future, forming a core or a nascent soul would not be a problem.

"Junior Sister Su Qing!" Han Chen jumped out and said boastfully, "Look at my modified puppets. These are all modified puppets based on the Vajra Puppet. Whether it's the exterior or the core, they have been upgraded to a higher level."

Su Qing glanced at the golden puppet encased in millennium-old black iron and gave it a look of disdain.

“So ugly!” Xuan Qingye said.

Han Chen's excited expression froze instantly.

What?

This is ugly? It's obviously very cool!

"Tacky!" Xue Zheng commented.

Han Chen was completely devastated. He thought his puppet improvements were excellent, but he never expected it to be not only disliked, but also called ugly and unsophisticated...

Seeing Han Chen's hurt expression, Su Qing comforted him, "It's okay, take your time."

As she spoke, Su Qing walked over, looked at the puppets on the city wall, and said, "The millennium-old black iron is quite good, but it should be even better after being refined."

As she spoke, Su Qing actually took action and dismantled the puppet.

Su Qing felt that constructing a puppet of this level wasn't too difficult.

Refining weapons requires a refining furnace.

The refining furnace and the alchemy furnace are very different. The main difference is that the refining furnace requires a higher furnace temperature in order to refine various materials.

Su Qing didn't have a refining furnace, but that didn't matter, as Han Chen's refining furnace was right next to her.

Su Qing threw the millennium-old black iron into the refining furnace. Soon, the millennium-old black iron was refined. After being refined, the millennium-old black iron was manipulated by Su Qing's spiritual power, and like clay, it was molded into the shape Su Qing wanted.

When the outer shell of the millennium-old black iron was taken out of the refining furnace, everyone saw that the golden shell had turned blackish-gold. Not only that, the shell was also harder and more resilient than before.

Su Qing opened the core of the puppet. It has to be said that Han Chen had made a simple spirit-gathering array inside, which could absorb spiritual energy on its own to maintain the daily operation of the puppet. However, it still needed spirit stones to drive it in battle.

This modification is not bad, but it's still far from being a true Vajra Golem.

Han Chen's skill in setting up formations is average; he can only set up a few of the simplest formations at the moment.

After the core modification, Su Qing not only optimized Han Chen's spirit gathering array, but also set up a small defensive array, placing a fire-attribute demon crystal inside and setting up a fire spirit array.

After the puppet was reassembled, its outer shell was no longer golden, but a calm black-gold color. When controlled, the puppet not only more than doubled its range, but could also breathe fire.

Han Chen stared blankly at Su Qing's actions, completely dumbfounded.

Su Qing, isn't she a talisman master?

No, isn't she an alchemist?

No, isn't she a sword cultivator?

Ah, why can she also create puppets?

Su Qing, however, was not very satisfied with the improved puppet.

"If only we could create puppets that could fight against demonic beasts," Su Qing said, looking at Xue Bocheng.

Xue Bocheng shook his head like a rattle drum.

"No, no, no, that's impossible. It takes at least three days to craft a puppet, and to leave Xueling City to fight against the demonic beasts, it would require at least a hundred-person puppet squad," Xue Bocheng said.

“That’s right, so do you have enough materials here?” Su Qing asked.

ah?

The main problem is that I don't have time to make so many puppets.

Half an hour later, Su Qing arrived at Xue Ling City's warehouse.

Here, a vast amount of materials are piled up like mountains.

Not only are there large quantities of refined iron, black iron, and blazing sun iron, all excellent materials for crafting puppet shells, but there are also ebony, ancient ironwood, and diamond wood, all materials for crafting puppet joints.

Of course, the crystals, soul stones, and black crystals needed to refine the core are also readily available.

In addition, there are a large number of demon crystals from demonic beasts.

Because Xueling City is frequently attacked by demonic beasts, it has obtained quite a few demonic crystals. Although they are all third- or fourth-tier demonic beast crystals, they are enough to refine puppets.

Looking at the warehouse full of materials, Su Qing felt as if Xue Lingcheng was starving while guarding a granary.

Wow, so many materials! If we refine them all into puppets, we can build an army of puppets.

Xue Bocheng brought Su Qing to the weapon-refining room in Xueling City. Su Qing was very satisfied with the particularly large weapon-refining furnace in the room.

"Summon all weapon refiners in Xueling City!"

An hour later, all sixty weapon refiners from Xueling City had arrived outside the weapon refining room.

Su Qing unfolded a piece of paper and saw that it was a puppet crafting diagram. It not only showed the puppet's shell and joints, but also the puppet's core and core formation.

"This...this is about creating a puppet?"

Han Chen looked at the blueprint and immediately recognized it as the Vajra Puppet Refining Method he had obtained from the Xuanyuan Secret Realm. He hadn't expected that his junior sister Su Qing had also gotten a copy.

"Next, we need to forge one hundred Vajra Puppets within two days!" Su Qing's words caused all the weapon refiners to gasp in astonishment.

"No, impossible. It takes three days to make one of these puppets, how could you possibly make a hundred in two days?" a weapon refiner exclaimed.

“You all follow my instructions. I guarantee we can refine a hundred in two days,” Su Qing said.

At this moment, not only the people of Xueling City, but also the Xuanling Sect disciples who witnessed this scene outside were all shocked.

Wen Yutian of the Wuji Sect snorted coldly and said, "You disciples of the Xuanling Sect are really arrogant."

The sect leader of Xuanling Sect calmly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "This is probably not arrogance. I believe she can do it."

Wen Yutian originally wanted to continue his mockery with a cold laugh, but then he remembered that Su Qing had previously printed a huge stack of talismans directly using talisman seals, and used a giant alchemy furnace to refine a single super-sized pill, which she then cut into tens of thousands of pieces...

Could it be that these Vajra puppets can be mass-produced?

"snort!"

At this moment, Su Qing had already begun assigning tasks to these weapon refiners.

If you want to mass-produce Vajra Puppets, you can simply construct a Vajra Puppets production line.

Su Qing arranged for ten weapon refiners to be responsible for refining the outer shell of the Vajra puppet, ten weapon refiners to refine the joints of the Vajra puppet, ten weapon refiners to draw the array, ten weapon refiners to refine the core, ten weapon refiners to assemble the puppet, and finally ten weapon refiners to debug these puppets.
