Li Changle was relieved of the knot in his heart, and in the days that followed, he practiced peacefully on Taibai Peak and happily cultivated immortality.
It is indescribably refreshing to have no worries and to be able to do what makes me happiest.
In addition to his own practice, Li Changle also continued to study his puppetry and weapon refining techniques.
After being promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Li Changle's versatile version of Immortal Cultivation and Hundred Arts has also improved, and his mastery of puppets and weapon refining has become more sophisticated and proficient.
However, Li Changle is still at the level of exploring on his own.
The puppet production he had received from Jiulianmen before was only at the entry level, so he thought of the sect elders...
Li Changle came to Wuliang Peak again and asked the most familiar elder in the sect, Gong De.
"The art of puppetry and the art of refining weapons?"
"Then you have to go to Tianxuan Peak..."
Tianxuan Peak is a very special one among the nineteen peaks of Xuantian. All matters such as elixir refining, weapon refining, talisman making, formation formation, etc. are all under the control of Tianxuan Peak.
Tianjifeng is only responsible for sales and transactions, while Tianxuanfeng is the real boss behind the scenes.
Li Changle smiled bitterly and said: "This disciple is not a disciple of Tianxuan Peak, so there is no way he can go just as he says..."
Elder Gongde nodded and smiled: "That's true."
Suddenly something moved in his mind: "I do have an idea."
"There is an Elder Geng in Tianxuan Peak. He has been issuing sect missions and looking for disciples to help him refine weapons together. Do you want to give it a try?"
"Elder Geng? Why does it sound familiar... Oh, the one who made Weiyu Bell before..."
Thinking of Wei Yuling's comprehensive and superfluous abilities, Li Changle somewhat understood why no one took up this task.
But thanks to Wei Yuling, he was able to see through Kong Lianlian's true face.
This gave him a little more respect for Elder Geng.
"Such a good task, logically no one should take it, right? Firstly, you can gain merit points within the sect, and secondly, you can learn the art of weapon refining from Elder Geng."
Elder Gongde smiled bitterly and said, "This Elder Geng is a little... different."
"Anyway, you'll understand once you go there."
Li Changle nodded, accepted the task, and then headed towards Tianxuan Peak.
It was his first time to come to Tianxuan Peak.
This place is indeed a real treasure, with various mechanisms, puppets, formations, restrictions, barriers, magic weapons, and spiritual weapons everywhere.
If it weren't for someone's support, it would be impossible to get even close.
Li Changle explained his intention at the mountain gate. When the disciple guarding the mountain heard that it was Li Changle, his expression immediately changed and he greeted him with a smile. But when he heard that he was looking for Elder Geng, his expression changed again and he was afraid to avoid him.
"Senior Brother, Elder Geng is at the Shougong Hall of Tianxuan Peak. After entering the mountain gate, turn left first, then turn right, and then go around seventeen turns to get there. It's easy to find. Senior Brother, you can go there on your own. I'm sorry. Junior brother can no longer lead the way."
Li Changle: "...It sounds like it's not easy to find at all, right?!"
But when he saw the face of the disciple guarding the mountain, he became even more curious about Elder Geng. He followed his instructions and finally found the guarding hall in a very remote corner.
Li Changle became more vigilant and was about to approach and knock on the door.
Suddenly, the two grotesque puppet door gods in front of the gate of the Shou Gong Hall suddenly activated, their eyes glowed, and their whole bodies shone brightly. Colorful lights danced all over the sky like revolving lanterns, and loud music soared into the sky, which frightened Li Changle. A big jump.
Before he could be surprised, he heard the two puppet door gods roar: "We found a stranger breaking in!"
"fire!"
In an instant, the two puppet door gods, with eight arms, were raised at the same time, and the dark barrels were immediately aimed at Li Changle. The crystal light flashed, charging up crazily, and it was about to burst out.
Fortunately, Li Changle was quick to think and immediately took out his true disciple token and the mission scroll. Only then did the two puppet door gods stop abruptly and both made a mechanical sound.
"It turned out to be a true disciple, and he was almost accidentally injured, ha, ha, ha."
Li Changle: "..."
What the hell!
By the way, the Weiyu Bell you made can whitelist Xuantian Sect disciples. How come such a dangerous thing can't identify fellow disciples? !
At this moment, above the gate of the Palace Guard Hall, a ray of light suddenly lit up and shined on Li Changle. It was a mirror with two telescope-shaped instruments on both sides.
The telescope looked up and down at Li Changle: "What are you here for?"
Li Changle took out the token and scroll again, nodded through the telescope, and then, a man's figure appeared in the mirror.
Li Changle saw that this man had long, messy hair, an unkempt beard, and his clothes were sloppy. He looked like a cultivator of immortality...
Low emotional intelligence, this elder is a beggar, right?
With high emotional intelligence, one can tell at a glance that he is a real artist of the older generation!
"Are you here to help me refine weapons?"
"good."
"...Is it finally here? Come in."
The light in the mirror disappeared, the telescope was put away, and the door of the Shou Gong Hall finally opened.
He walked in anxiously, and an eerie aura suddenly hit his face.
Li Changle looked around, "Good guy, I am a good guy."
What kind of cyber-immortal-style mansion...
There are all kinds of puppets covering the sky, flying in the sky, running underground, and swimming in the water.
Various magic weapons, sound and light effects, and lively atmosphere are no less than an amusement park.
And this feeling is completely unlike the Tianji Peak Lingbao Palace. They are all serious magic weapons and spiritual weapons. How can I describe the style here...
It's more evil than a heretic.
Li Changle was stunned and finally recovered.
He coughed: "Ahem, disciple Li Changle, pay my respects to the elder."
Elder Geng was busy tinkering with something. He raised his head and glanced: "You are the one who took over my mission?"
"yes."
"So, you are very brave..."
Li Changle was startled, why didn't these words sound right?
"Disciple doesn't understand what the elder means?"
Elder Geng showed a harmless smile: "It's nothing, it's just that the previous disciples had unstable Taoist hearts and were too psychologically fragile."
"Have you ever learned to refine weapons?"
"Disciple understands a little bit, understands a little bit."
"Oh? Do you have any works?"
Li Changle took out his most proud sword puppet Xiaobai.
Elder Geng immediately became interested. He even took out a pair of glasses and put them on. He came forward and looked at them carefully.
He nodded while watching: "The craftsmanship is quite good. If you are a beginner, you will definitely be the man who will bear the hope of the puppet world in the future!"
Li Changle was overjoyed: "Thank you, elder, for the compliment."
"It's just that this puppet is too ugly."
Li Changle: "..."
"Elder, these puppets you made don't seem to be very photogenic!"
Elder Geng was delighted: "Well said! Practicality should come first when it comes to magic weapon puppets. What's the big deal about beauty and ugliness! Just based on your words, I will accept you as my disciple!"
Li Changle: "...? The disciple is just here to do the task, not to be a disciple?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, but why did you take over my mission?"
"Disciple bought a Weiyu bell before..."
Elder Geng was overjoyed: "Oh? So you bought Weiyu Ling?!"
"Tasteful! So tasteful!"
"Based on this, I recognize you as a brother!"
Li Changle: "?"
From apprentice to brother so quickly?
Super senior, right? !
Elder Geng immediately put his arms around his shoulders and pulled Li Changle to him.
"Brother, how about taking a look at this magic weapon I'm making?"
Li Changle couldn't help but wonder what kind of new and strange magic weapon this weapon-refining elder who everyone feared in the Xuantian Sect was making...
