Demonic Demoness Training Project

The Crimson Kite Cauldron had its own ideas, and it launched an attack!

It's not her fault... She just asked Mu Qingque to get her a puppet for self-defense before the battle, without telling her beforehand that the puppet was so powerful.

In an instant, several powerful divine senses swept towards Lu Li. They were from several Supreme Elders of the Lingxi Sect, and contained strong malice and pressure.

However, this oppressive aura vanished in an instant. Mu Qingque stepped forward and blocked the divine thought from entering.

Master Miaoyin stood in mid-air, his face ashen. He was still furious about the incident at the Divination Saint Cave Heaven not long ago, and now that everyone was out of the picture, he immediately pointed at Mu Qingque and began to curse:

"Elder Mu, you actually lent her such a precious artifact. Isn't that going a bit too far?"

"What? You're allowed to gang up on us, but my people aren't allowed to activate their fifth-level mechanical artifacts?"

"Fine, fine, you're determined to make sure she gets this spot, aren't you? She'd better get a ranking, or I'll see how you explain this to the sect leader."

"You don't need to worry about that."

The audience erupted in curses. As the saying goes, one's perspective is determined by one's own position. When the elders suffered a loss, the younger generation couldn't sit still either, though they only cursed verbally.

On the stage, an elder of the Yan family stepped forward and said:

"Her cauldron is broken, let's go, let's kick this little brat out of the game first!"

"Yes, take advantage of her weakness and kick her off the battlefield!"

Chapter 332 Lu Li Doesn't Want to Wear Iron Underpants

The crowd was indignant, and the curses were deafening, but Lu Li ignored them and just looked around.

She suddenly realized that the Crimson Kite Cauldron was gone.

The explosion was so powerful that the Crimson Kite Cauldron, being both the epicenter and the source of the blast, was shattered into countless fragments by the impact, scattered across various battle platforms.

"So this thing is just a firecracker? It hurts the enemy eight times more than you, but you lose a thousand times more than yourself. That can't be right."

"Who are you talking about, firecrackers?"

The next moment, the surrounding air currents swirled and rose, and the components that were originally scattered everywhere gathered in the center of the battle platform, transforming back into the Crimson Kite Cauldron like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

"Oh, I see. It can be put back together after an explosion. That's amazing."

That makes sense. This thing can be broken into pieces and reassembled into mechanical armor on Mu Qingque's body. A mere fatal wound is nothing to worry about.

The only difference was that the aura of the Crimson Kite Cauldron had dimmed a bit, clearly indicating that the attack had not been entirely without damage to the cauldron.

A mature female voice rang out again in Lu Li's mind:

"Don't worry, I can unleash an attack like this three more times! I guarantee I'll blast them to the ground."

"It's not that bad, it's not that bad."

While trying to mediate the fight, Lu Li suddenly turned her head to look at the elders who had been clamoring to attack her. She clenched her fists, her face turned red, she put her hands on her hips, widened her eyes, and struck what she considered a very imposing pose.

"Who just said they were going to kick me out? I can unleash an attack like that seven more times!"

The elders avoided looking directly at Lu Li, as no one dared to touch her as long as the Crimson Phoenix Cauldron was there, fearing that the attack would fall on their heads at any moment.

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he had already cursed Lu Li in his heart.

They felt that Lulid was unworthy of his position and was acting utterly lawless because he had the support of the Supreme Elder.

However, they did not know Lu Li's true strength. Even without the Crimson Kite Cauldron, she still had the Drop of the Vast Ocean to use. The power of the puppet formations transformed by each family was only at the early stage of the Heavenly Crafting Realm. With her fifth-level puppet body, Lu Li was fully capable of fighting.

Even if all else fails, she can activate the sixth-level golden spirit core and release protective qi, so that even if all five families join forces, they cannot harm her in the slightest.

The five families continued their fierce competition, but all of them intentionally or unintentionally avoided Lu Li.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Because no one disturbed her and because she was skilled in refining techniques, Lu Li was the first to finish the competition. All three fourth-stage, second-type wind spirit cores were successfully refined without any failures.

Most of the others failed to refine the materials due to interference from the enemy, and only a handful of five people were able to successfully refine all three materials.

As expected, Lu Li advanced successfully.

However, the disciples below did not have the opportunity to see the finished product up close, so they were still not entirely convinced by the result.

"Tch, what's so great about him? He's just relying on Elder Mu's help."

"Even if no one disturbs you, if all three are successful, that's not a low success rate."

"She was lucky, or maybe she had the help of the Fate-Cultivating Artifact. Who knows how many good things Elder Mu gave her?"

It should be noted that only the top three are qualified to participate in the Mid-Range Weapon Refining Competition. Lu Li was able to advance not only because she refined three spirit cores, but also because the quality of these three spirit cores was excellent.

Most of the other elders failed to refine the materials due to interference from the enemy, and only a handful of five people were able to successfully refine all three materials.

Including Lu Li, there are a total of six people, and the three spirit cores refined by Lu Li are also ranked first in quality.

This result surprised the elders, but they were helpless. Only the juniors who were ignorant and impressed were dissatisfied and secretly cursed Lu Li as a stupid roe deer who relied on his master's power.

Lu Li didn't care about the criticism; more than other people's opinions, she wanted to eat a pear.

After the competition, she took out a treasured thousand-year-old fairy pear to reward herself.

The thousand-year-old fairy pear is delicious.

……

Three days later, on a celestial ship overlooking the abyss.

Lu Li looked at the competition rules she had just received with a look of surprise.

"What? We can't bring puppets?"

"The rules of the game say no."

"If I can't bring any mechanical artifacts, how am I supposed to forge them? Can I even go in? Am I supposed to just handcraft them? If I can't bring any mechanical artifacts, then I can't go in either, can I?"

In the process of refining high-level puppets, low-level puppets are often needed to assist. Lu Li never expected that the so-called mid-level puppet refining competition would not allow anyone to bring any puppets.

The problem is that Lu Li is covered in puppets. Since puppets are not allowed, can she enter the venue?

"You can go in, but to be precise, you can't bring Yu Dao Yanqi. Look at what this jade slip says: the competition will be held in Xinghai Blessed Land, and all the spiritual materials used for refining the weapons must be sourced locally."

"There will be a check before you go in. If you have any fluctuations of the universe, you will be kicked out."

"hiss……"

Lu Li looked down at her lower abdomen, but the Taiyin Palace was the Yu Dao Yanqi, she couldn't very well dig it out.

"If you have the Yu Dao Yanqi inside you, you don't need to remove it, because I've prepared this for you—"

As she spoke, Mu Qingque reached into the pocket on her abdomen and pulled out a pair of iron underpants. The underpants had a strange shape and a small keyhole in the middle.

Looking at the shape of this thing, Lu Li couldn't help but swallow.

"What...what is this?"

"These pants can isolate the fluctuations of the universe."

"Oh! I get it, I can cheat."

"Sorry, it's not possible—wearing these pants will disable your Yu Dao Yanqi, making it impossible to retrieve or put down items."

"But my spirit core is inside."

"Spiritual energy can flow normally, you can rest assured about that. You've managed to find a loophole."

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief. It was just that the automatic puppet array couldn't be used. The entire Midstream Weapon Forging Conference would be observed by others, and Lu Li didn't plan to expose the automatic puppet array production line.

"So it's fine then, so you're saying we're not allowed to use the slewing production line?"

"Well, anyway, you won't need that. The 'Yanzhen' production line allows you to mass-produce low-level components, which reduces simple and repetitive labor. The 'Yanzhen' that the Midstream Refining Conference requires you to refine is usually not very large."

"I see."

In terms of quality alone, Luli has absolute confidence that its own products are better than those produced by Yanzhen's production line. This difference in quality becomes more pronounced at higher revolution rates.

"Try it on? Does it fit?"

"Can you take this off after wearing it?"

What are you thinking about?

"Can't I wear it later? I still have some components in production."

As she spoke, Lu Li subconsciously rubbed her slightly swollen belly, from which she could occasionally hear the soft clanging of mechanisms turning and colliding. She was currently trying to replace the puppets on her body, and many basic components were being refined.

"Let's try it out first. If the size isn't right, I can adjust it."

"You put it there, I'll wear it later."

The main reason Lu Li resisted was that the shape of the puppet was too strange.

Chapter 333 The Purpose of Titanium Yttrium

After much pleading and cajoling, Lu Li finally agreed to Mu Qingque's request. After a few rustling sounds, Lu Li put on the underpants that Mu Qingque had provided.

Duan Xuanyuan smiled like an aunt, while Lu Ling's face darkened and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Lu Li tapped her pants twice, and the metallic underpants immediately made a crisp sound. In addition to the Taiyin Palace being sealed, there was also a faint, almost imperceptible feeling of tightness.

"It feels a bit hard."

"The size is adjustable."

"By the way, what's the purpose of this keyhole?"

Mu Qingque tossed a key to Lu Li.

"Here, this is the key. If all else fails, you can unlock it yourself. The main point is that the Midstream Weapon Forging Conference does not allow you to bring any other artifacts besides your own."

Duan Xuanyuan looked disappointed, while Lu Ling's expression softened slightly, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So it's just 'being your own master,' how boring."

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the old man and the young man in her mind's eye, Lu Li rolled her eyes.

She didn't want to pay any attention to that disrespectful old man. This was clearly a proper instrument with a legitimate purpose; it just looked a bit unusual.

As for Lu Ling, Lu Li stretched out her slender fingers and pushed Lu Ling's forehead hard with her fingertips.

"What are you thinking about? Have you been secretly reading your senior and junior sisters' stories behind my back again?"

Lu Ling quickly denied it.

"I...I didn't!"

……

Three days later, on the banks of the Mengjiang River, at the Midstream Weapon Forging Competition arena.

By the time Lu Li arrived, no fewer than ten forces had already arrived, including not only the Blood Mercury Sect and the Unifying Immortal Sect that Lu Li was familiar with, but also sects and forces from other regions in the middle reaches of the river.

In her spare time, Lu Li would also visit Xuan Shu Tian, ​​so she had some understanding of the major mid-level forces. Each sect had its own unique inheritance and tradition.

From the clothing and the style of the puppets these people wear, it is not difficult to identify their identities and the factions they belong to.

For example, members of the Blood Mercury Sect are often surrounded by blood and qi, with bulging veins and a robust physique. From the surface alone, they do not appear to have undergone significant modifications to their magical artifacts.

For example, the Tongxian Sect focuses on the soul path, or carries a soul banner, or, to take an extreme point, simply abandons the physical body, leaving only a solidified soul.

Lu Li glanced around, lingered briefly on Tui Huo Zhen Jun, and then looked away.

Finally, Lu Li noticed a group of puppets. These puppets were entirely silver-white and made of some unknown material. Just by standing there, they gave off a strong sense of oppression.

It is the organizer of this Midstream Refining Conference – the upstream sect, Titanium Yttrium Holy Land.

If Xuan Gui Valley and Tong Xian Sect have taken the development of the Soul Path to its extreme, to the point of abandoning the physical body, then Titanium Yttrium Holy Land has gone to the other extreme, pursuing the ultimate transformation of the physical body and completely puppetizing the body.

As an upstream sect, the Titanium Yttrium Holy Land has a special method to combat hysteria caused by excessive modification.

In some ways, Lu Li's current body is actually somewhat similar to the lineage of the Titanium Yttrium Holy Land.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the tallest puppet in the Titanium Yttrium Holy Land stepped forward and said:

"I am the True Man of Titanium Yttrium, and I am in charge of presiding over this conference."

"The Midstream Weapon Forging Conference is held once every hundred years and is a grand event for the entire cultivation world. The winners not only receive personal rewards, but their respective forces also receive a lineage inheritance."

"The first round of the competition for the Human Group will be held in the Star Sea Blessed Land. Representatives from each sect are requested to come forward and accept inspection."

"In principle, carrying Yu Dao Yanqi is not allowed. If you have already fused with Yu Dao Yanqi, you must seal it before the competition. If it is discovered, you will be immediately eliminated."

"The winner of the Human Group will be rewarded personally with two catties of the seventh-grade spiritual material, Primordial Breath Soil, and the sect will reward one fourth-grade, mass-producible puppet [Golden Yuan Puppet].
