Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 84 - 79: On the Road

Besides the contributions of the Cold Ice Toad, the tenacious nature of Daoist Miao Yin was also a significant reason.

After entering the Crying Swamp, Daoist Miao Yin successively tamed the Silver Armored Horned Python and the Double-headed Duck, which allowed her to safely traverse the swamp.

Upon reaching Upper Sun Country, the cold poison plaguing her body prevented Daoist Miao Yin from utilizing her full strength. Coupled with her understanding of Crying Swamp, she contemplated returning, but did not set out for a long time.

It wasn't until Lu Qingfeng appeared that she saw hope and actively sought friendship.

...

"So that's how it is."

Lu Qingfeng listened, and couldn't help but admire Daoist Miao Yin's luck—

First, she found the cave dwelling of a senior and obtained the Beast Taming Inheritance. After entering Crying Swamp, against such slim odds, she actually made it to Upper Sun Country.

What's more, after having spent a full forty-one years in Upper Sun Country, believing that there was no hope left in this lifetime to return to Luoxia Sect, she then met him.

"That's some good luck indeed!"

As Lu Qingfeng looked at Daoist Miao Yin, he internally exclaimed.

After Daoist Miao Yin finished speaking, she gave Lu Qingfeng a light chuckle, "Now you know all about my background, what about you?"

"Me?"

Lu Qingfeng shook his head, "I can't compare to the City Lord's legendary experiences; I just obtained a senior's inheritance in Black Wood Village, and then with relatively good aptitude, I mastered Alchemy and Artifact Refining. Before I met the City Lord, I didn't even know there was a vast world beyond Upper Sun Country."

This was a complete fabrication.

Being able to log into "Primordial" was Lu Qingfeng's biggest secret. Even Qingshan and Qingyu only knew that their older brother needed a lot of sleep everyday, and that he could master many cultivation techniques in his dreams, and that Alchemy and Artifact Refining were also learned from dreams.

They did not know of the existence of "Primordial."

For Daoist Miao Yin, Lu Qingfeng was even less likely to tell her. However, obtaining "Primordial" was, for Lu Qingfeng, no different from receiving a senior's inheritance.

It was just that this inheritance came from an entire world!

"A senior's inheritance?"

Daoist Miao Yin slightly curled her lip, sensing that Lu Qingfeng did not want to elaborate, and she did not press for details.

The two chatted now and then, mostly with Lu Qingfeng asking about the situation in the Bi Yang Lake Territory.

Originally, it took Daoist Miao Yin a full eight years to traverse the Crying Swamp. Even with Puppets scouting the way, Lu Qingfeng would need several years to reach Biyang Lake.

Fortunately, Lu Qingfeng was not in a hurry.

In the Biyang Lake Territory, powerful beings were abundant and Demons roamed. With his current strength, he would have almost no ability to protect himself if he went. It would be better to use the time spent traveling to improve his cultivation level, while searching for more spirit ores and various Puppet materials in the Crying Swamp, refining stronger Puppets.

To increase his self-protection.

In the fourth life of the game, over three hundred years, which corresponded to three years in reality, Lu Qingfeng had crafted a total of four Giant Turtle Puppets and fifteen Spider Puppets. In his spare time, he had also refined ten Destroying Truth Type 1.

Together with the previous fifteen Destroying Truth Type 1, the total should have been twenty-five.

However, due to exploration in the four corners of Upper Sun Country, some Destroying Truth Type 1 got damaged, and now only seventeen remained.

Leaving ten to defend Qingyuan Sword Sect, to ensure that Qingyuan Sword Sect does not perish and the Incense Fire continues. The rest of the seven Destroying Truth Type 1s were all sent deep into Crying Swamp, exploring the way to Biyang Lake.

As he ventured deeper, the high-level materials found by the fifteen Spider Puppets gradually increased. Lu Qingfeng ordered the Spider Puppets to prioritize the mining of various Second Rank Materials, refining more Spider Puppets first.

As they say, sharpening your axe will not delay the work of cutting firewood.

The more Spider Puppets there are, the wider the area they can cover, continuously providing Lu Qingfeng with various Refining Materials.

Lu Qingfeng kept brushing up his proficiency in the game, and given sufficient materials, it would take roughly half a month to refine a Spider Puppet.

But limited by materials, in reality, it would take a month to refine one.

Not to mention other types of puppets.

Therefore, it was necessary to expand the scale of Spider Puppets.

In addition, the materials for refining advanced Thousand Machine Stones also needed to be prioritized. With a distance of 7,300 li, even the Crying Swamp was impenetrable, so it was urgent to increase the sensing distance.

With that in mind.

After Lu Qingfeng entered the Crying Swamp, there was no difference from his time in the Upper Sun Country.

He still spent every day cultivating, practicing Alchemy, and Artifact Refining.

While cultivating, the Giant Turtle Puppet could continue moving forward; once enough materials were gathered, he would stop to refine puppets.

In the Crying Swamp, there were Low-level demon beasts which, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, attacked and provided Lu Qingfeng with plenty of puppet materials, and also offered Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu opponents to hone their combat skills.

Both of them were under Lu Qingfeng's protection in the Upper Sun Country and had puppets for defense; they had never once engaged in combat with people or demon beasts. On the path of cultivation, being completely ignorant in combat was certainly not acceptable.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Lu Qingfeng used the demon beasts in the Crying Swamp to hone the combat skills of the two.

He himself had consciously practiced real combat in "Primordial" and mastered quite a few Mid-High Order Techniques, which he taught to them.

The two did not have too much time to cultivate many techniques.

What Lu Qingfeng taught were some of the strongest techniques he had mastered.

Such as the Super-level Technique Flower Walking, High-level Techniques like Heavenly Eye Skill and Golden Light Skill, and the Middle-level Techniques like Concealing Technique, Concealing Breath Skill, and Entanglement Skill.

These techniques, combined with the cultivation of Luo Fu Sword Qi inherent in the Luofu Sword Scripture, were sufficient for them to be invincible in the Postnatal Realm in terms of offense, defense, or escape.

...

In the swamp.

The Giant Turtle Puppet was not fast, with a maximum distance of two hundred li per day. Sometimes demon beasts would block the path, or Lu Qingfeng would refine puppets, and they might not even advance fifty li in a day.

And of these two hundred li or fifty li, the actual effective distance was even less than half.

Lu Qingfeng, relying on his connectivity with the puppets, could control the general direction. Moving forward specifically, it was impossible to follow a straight line.

The initial 7,300 li into the Crying Swamp were relatively easy to navigate.

With the Destroying Truth Type 1 scouting ahead and after repeated confirmation, Lu Qingfeng would choose the clearest path to proceed. Even so, due to uncontrollable factors like animal migration, sudden rises in water levels, etc., many obstacles would arise.

Fortunately, the Giant Turtle Puppet was amphibious, capable of moving on land and also in water.

It was a pity that the waters of the Chengyang River were turbulent, and the various tens to hundreds of Zhang high waterfalls from west to east were enough to discourage anyone from traveling down the Chengyang River to Three Mountains and Nine Waters.

Even in the Chengyang River itself, there were various Water Clan and Water Domain Demon Beasts, far more dangerous than the Crying Swamp.

There was no rush in traveling.

Lu Qingfeng controlled both the Destroying Truth Type 1 and the Spider Puppets to scout ahead while riding the Giant Turtle Puppet deeper into the swamp. At the same time, he was also refining more puppets.

Near the Upper Sun Country end of the Crying Swamp, the Spiritual Energy was slightly stronger, yet limited. Most of the demon beasts living there were First Rank and Second Rank, and Third-rank demon beasts were rare.

With the Giant Turtle Puppet present, a group of Second Rank demon beasts, a blast of Thunder Fire could immediately scare off the herd.

As they penetrated deeper and as the number of puppets increased—

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
