After completing all this, Luo Chen did not continue with cultivation.

Instead, he focused his attention on the corpse.

The remains of a Nascent Soul True Master; even though the Purple Mansion was shattered, and the Nascent Soul nonexistent, it was still a Nascent Soul body!

Such materials, it would be too much of a waste if left unused.

Luo Chen had always respected the strong.

But Jin Ling was not only a strong person, he was also his enemy, so everything must be utilized to its fullest.

"It just so happens, the Puppet Technique I've been studying over the years should now be put into practice."

"Let's use you as practice!"

Luo Chen muttered to himself, then tapped his Heavenly Spirit Cover, and a dim light floated out.

It was his Third Soul!

In recent years, he had been researching the Puppet Dao, trying to master the White Tiger Puppet, which was comparable to the late stage Nascent Soul.

As far as the current level of puppet-making was concerned, refining the White Tiger Puppet was still beyond reach.

But Luo Chen was confident he had gained some proficiency in crafting common puppets.

As for how to process Jin Ling's corpse, Luo Chen already had a plan in mind.

There are many types of puppets: they differ in shape, material, method of soul imbuement, and manipulation technique.

Overall, they can be broadly divided into two types: Mechanical Puppet and flesh puppet.

Mechanical Puppets are made of various rare materials, wood, and mineral materials, making them relatively challenging and a true test of a Puppet Master's skill.

The flesh puppet is relatively simple, yet also more frowned upon.

As long as there are suitable raw materials, one can start crafting.

As for what the raw materials are, that goes without saying.

Isn't it right here at this moment?

"Back in the day, the Tian Xingzi of Luo Yun Sect, who posthumously attained the honorary title of Elder at the Foundation Establishment Realm, refined Mi Shuhua's corpse into a flesh puppet. I once condemned him for his cruelty."

"Yet now I've also embarked on this path; it's like a boomerang coming back to hit me."

There was a hint of guilt in his words, but his face remained calm without any change.

With a touch of his fingertip, a thread of pale white flame flew out, enveloping Jin Ling's entire body.

As the scorching flame burned, a charred stench spread throughout the hall.

His Third Soul wasn't idle either, it started searching for the corresponding materials from the Jilei Ring dedicated to materials storage.

Even for flesh puppets, auxiliary materials are required.

With both efforts combined, time swiftly passed.

After spending a full seven days and nights, Luo Chen finally finished tempering the Nascent Soul body.

At this point, Jin Ling's body had shrunk by nearly seventy percent, looking dry and shriveled, almost like human skin.

Yet Luo Chen was very satisfied with this outcome.

Next, it was time to fill in the materials.

With a thought, Luo Chen took out the Primordial Chaos Tripod and put various prepared mineral materials into it, prompting the Prosperity and Decline True Fire into action.

When he thoroughly refined a basinful of golden stone liquid, Luo Chen stopped his movements.

Instead of directly filling the materials, his gaze focused on the large hole in Jin Ling's chest.

After a moment of hesitation, Luo Chen steeled himself.

"Remove the armor!"

The Xuan Chen Armor fell off, revealing his sturdy upper body.

With a movement of his right hand, the Yuan Tu Sword appeared and slowly cut across his chest.

Blood flowed, and the Yuan Tu Sword trembled, emitting a faint hum.

"What are you so happy about? Quiet!"

Luo Chen barked, and the Yuan Tu Sword whimpered in defiance but obediently allowed itself to be wielded by Luo Chen.

Watching this scene, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

After Luo Chen practiced the Path of Sword and deeply imprinted the Demon Blood, the Yuan Tu Sword Spirit had become more and more approving of him.

This was a good sign.

But its desire for his blood was an undeniable fact.

Luo Chen would not let it have its way. He would rather use the Demon Emperor's Blood to nurture the Sword Spirit than feed the sword with his own body.

After suppressing the Sword Spirit, Luo Chen endured the discomfort of self-harm, chiseling a large piece of flesh from his incredibly tough chest little by little.

"Humph..."

With a muffled grunt, Luo Chen promptly threw this piece of chest flesh onto Jin Ling's corpse.

Meanwhile, a great surge of Source Blood gathered in his body, and the flesh began to regrow as if having its own mind.

This was the innate talent for limb regeneration of the Ancient Desolation Corpse!

Though it couldn't match Black King's Indestructible Body, it was rather mystical.

Luo Chen ignored the discomfort in his body for now and cautiously covered the chest flesh over the large hole in Jin Ling's remains.

After ensuring it fit perfectly, he then added all the prepared golden stone liquid into it.

Furthermore, he manipulated golden threads with Qi Power, threading them like worms into the corpse's meridians and blood vessels.

Once everything was ready, the Withering and Flourishing Divine Fire reappeared, engulfing the entire Jin Ling corpse, initiating another round of tempering.

As for his Third Soul, it sat quietly on the side, observing everything in silence.

...

A full month passed by leisurely.

A low shout came from within the Luo Tian Grand Hall.

A majestic aura erupted suddenly.

But moments later, this aura quickly dissipated without a trace.

Within the hall.

Luo Chen looked at the finished puppet, a satisfied expression in his eyes.

"Enter!"

Without a moment's hesitation, the Third Soul directly entered the puppet, even embedding a top-grade metal attribute Spirit Stone in its chest.

"Still not enough."

"At this moment, this puppet is only at half of Jin Ling's peak strength."

Luo Chen observed for a while, understanding where the shortcomings lay.

Without a Nascent Soul, it couldn't connect with the heavens and earth or manipulate the roaming Spirit Qi.

Without a Magic Item, it lacked Combat Power.

But these flaws could all be remedied.

Luo Chen raised his hand, and two golden feathers fell into the puppet's hands.

The puppet, upon receiving them, began wielding them effortlessly, the fearsome sharp aura filling the grand hall.

These were originally Jin Ling's Natal Magic Item, needing only the removal of the Divine Soul Imprint to pose no obstacle.

Moreover, Luo Chen tapped the armrest.

"Come out!"

Black King appeared once again, watching Luo Chen with a resentful look.

He had just fallen asleep, only to be awakened again.

"Bring him to the place in Baili Qingchuan where Spirit Qi is most abundant to nurture!"

Black King glanced at the puppet and couldn't help but swallow.

His earlier suspicions were indeed correct.

The master had really crafted this fellow into a puppet.

He hurriedly said, "The Fenghua Palace was breached, leaving flaws in the array that confined the Spirit Vein, so I have drawn quite a bit of Spirit Qi here. Beneath Daqing Mountain, a minor Fourth-rank Spirit Cave has already been condensed, the most suitable place for nurturing the master's puppet!"

Luo Chen was momentarily surprised by this welcome news.
