Chapter 653: Chapter 248: Endless Guileful Head, Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art Sixth Level!_3 “Well done!” Upon seeing this, Lu Ping’an stepped forward, his fist surging with blood and vigor as he threw a punch. “Bang——” 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚 As they collided, Lu Ping’an was forced to step back repeatedly, leaving deep footprints with each step. But he was undaunted, excitement shining in his eyes. He pushed off with his foot, leaped into the air, and continued to throw punches at the Golden Armor Warrior. His punches were ferocious, one after another, with the sound of wind howling and accompanied by the echoes of thunderous roars like those of tigers and leopards. The Golden Armor Warrior faced Lu Ping’an’s onslaught without dodging or evading, employing a rigid style of fighting that exchanged blow for blow. Even though it was stronger than Lu Ping’an in both body and strength, it couldn’t gain any advantage. “Secret technique—Primordial Chaos Extreme!” At that moment, true qi surged within Lu Ping’an’s body, his muscles bulging as his fists struck out like dragons emerging from the abyss, bombarding the Golden Armor Warrior and forcing it to retreat step by step. “Not bad at all.” Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile as he watched the scene unfold. Honestly, he truly didn’t know the extent of his own son’s strength. While the Golden Armor Warrior’s fighting style was somewhat stiff and rigid, Lu Ping’an’s combat awareness and technique were indeed on point. “Chik—” Lu Changsheng channeled mana into the remaining seven Golden Armor Spirit Beans in his hand, causing them to join the battle. “Dad, what are you doing!” Just as Lu Ping’an was getting into the spirit of the fight, he saw this and immediately changed expression, shouting out loud. He was able to suppress the Golden Armor Warrior in front of him purely through technique. But with a single pair of fists, how could he deal with seven at once? If all seven joined the fight, he would be done for today. “I’m just adding a bit of difficulty for you,” Lu Changsheng said with a laugh and, after thinking it over, only allowed two Golden Armor Warriors to join the fight while the remaining five watched from the sidelines. Suddenly, three Golden Armor Warriors attacked Lu Ping’an in unison. Facing such a siege, Lu Ping’an soon became overwhelmed and started to struggle. After all, the combat method of the Golden Armor Warriors bore an aspect of exchanging injury for injury, one force subduing ten meetings. With three acting together—even with superior martial skills—it was hard to cope. “Stop.” Seeing this, Lu Changsheng immediately ordered the Golden Armor Warriors to halt. He took out a Rejuvenation Insignia from his Storage Bag and applied it to Lu Ping’an, dissipating his bruising and fist injuries, while praising, “Not bad.” “Ping’an, you have good talent in martial body refinement,” “Once you break through the middle stage of Qi Refinement, your father will teach you Body Refining Techniques, and then you can practice Magical Dual Cultivation.” Lu Changsheng said this. “Body Refining Techniques? Dad, doesn’t the Purple True Solar Scripture I’m cultivating count as a Body Refining Technique?” Lu Ping’an asked with some surprise upon hearing this. “Heh, that’s hardly a Body Refining Technique.” “You’ll understand once you break through the middle stage of Qi Refinement.” Lu Changsheng chuckled softly, planning to teach Lu Ping’an the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art once he broke through the middle stage of Qi Refinement. Having said that, he recollected all the Golden Armor Warriors, transforming them back into Golden Armor Spirit Beans. Seeing his son Lu Ping’an looking enviously at the spirit beans in his hand, Lu Changsheng smiled and said, “I’ll give you a few from the second batch. Don’t worry about it for now.” “Thank you, Father!” Lu Ping’an scratched his head and revealed a simple, honest smile. “Keep an eye on that Golden Armor Bean Mother, and let me know if anything happens.” Lu Changsheng patted Lu Ping’an on the shoulder, then transformed into an Escape Light and returned to Changsheng Hall. Upon arriving at the hall, he immediately went to a side hall to study the forging of Golden Armor Warrior puppets. Through his Divine Sense, he conveyed his requirements to the eight Golden Armor Warriors, instructing them to start work. “Clang, clang, clang——” In no time, the eight Golden Armor Warriors got to work. “The process of puppet crafting is roughly divided into six steps: refining, smelting, molding, assembling, Fusion Formation, and inscription.” “The Golden Armor Warriors can perform refining, molding, assembling, and inscription.” “However, refining consumes a significant amount of energy for the Golden Armor Warriors. It’s feared that after refining the material for a single component, the energy of a Golden Armor Warrior will be nearly depleted.” “And having Golden Armor Warriors perform molding and assembling seems somewhat wasteful.” “So, the most suitable task for the Golden Armor Warriors turns out to be the high-difficulty job of inscription.” “As long as I convey the necessary inscription steps through my Divine Sense, the Golden Armor Warriors can replicate them precisely as per my instructions.” After half a day, Lu Changsheng had a rough understanding of the puppet forging capabilities of the Golden Armor Warriors. Previously, he thought of using the Golden Armor Warriors for the most basic manual labor. Now, he realized they could be treated like CNC robots, capable of handling the most delicate and core components. “With this, I can make some adjustments to my Puppet Factory idea.” Lu Changsheng mused. Right afterward, he went to the Puppet Workshop at the foot of Bi Yun Peak. The workshop was still in its early stages, staffed only by Lu Xianzhi, eight cultivators, and more than a dozen mortals. Under Lu Xianzhi’s direction, they began working on Lu Changsheng’s concept of a Puppet Factory assembly line, jointly crafting puppets. “Greetings, Mountain Master!” “Father!” Seeing Lu Changsheng arrive, everyone respectfully greeted him. “Xianzhi, come over here.” Lu Changsheng called out to his son, Lu Xianzhi. “Yes, Father.” Upon hearing this, Lu Xianzhi immediately followed Lu Changsheng into a side hall. “Xianzhi, do you have any unfinished puppets that haven’t been inscribed yet?” Lu Changsheng inquired. “I do. Please wait a moment, Father,” Lu Xianzhi responded, promptly bringing over a beast-shaped puppet. This was just an ordinary First Grade low-quality puppet. Used by cultivators for carrying things around, or for keeping watch, cannon fodder at most—there wasn’t much of a market for them, and they didn’t make much money. They were purely practice material.
