The recent tribulation was enough to destroy Mengyuan Mountain and severely damage the Refining Spirit Sect.
To prevent such danger from happening again, the Grand Elder, Sect Leader, and Palace Lords needed to find the source and figure out a way to prevent it.
"It was my Artifact Refining just now; I didn't control it well, which attracted the tribulation clouds."
Qian Duoduo whispered to the Sect Leader.
Niu Jinshui smiled and looked up at Qian Duoduo, but he did not speak.
Seeing that he didn't believe him, Qian Duoduo waved his hand and displayed all the more than one hundred Puppets he had refined.
"Sect Leader, look—"
Instantly, the backyard was filled to the brim with these more than one hundred Puppets.
Niu Jinshui and the five Palace Lords immediately widened their eyes, utterly shocked.
The Refining Spirit Sect had only a few Puppets in total, and no Puppet Magic Treasure, yet Qian Duoduo suddenly brought out all of these, and all of them were refined by him.
The Spiritual Awareness of the Grand Elders also lingered on these Puppets; they must have been greatly surprised too.
"Dan artifact?"
It was a while before Niu Jinshui could speak.
"Half Senior Dan Artifacts, half initial-level xuan weapons, and the one I just refined was a Middle-Grade Profound Weapon."
Qian Duoduo's words were all true, except he couldn't say that the Middle-Grade Profound Weapon was an Entering Saint Key.
Niu Jinshui stroked his beard, trying hard to control the smile on his face.
"Quickly put them away, quickly put them away! Important artifacts of the Sect should not be easily shown to others—wait a moment, wait a moment, the Grand Elders still want to take another look..."
Not only the Grand Elders, but the five Palace Lords were also carefully examining each Puppet.
Their fingers were trembling; if it weren't for the Sect Leader in front and the Grand Elders above, they probably would have had the urge to snatch a few pieces.
Seeing these Puppets successfully divert everyone's attention, Qian Duoduo's heart also settled down.
If they were to press for the source of the Soul Tribulation, Qian Duoduo would indeed find it difficult to handle.
"Cough."
After nearly a quarter of an hour, Niu Jinshui said, "Put them away."
He waved his hand, blocking the words that were about to spill from the mouths of the Palace Lords.
With the Spiritual Awareness of several Grand Elders present, what he said wouldn't count anyway.
Qian Duoduo quickly put all the Puppets away.
The eyes of the five Palace Lords were glowing, and Qian Duoduo was also afraid they might try to forcibly snatch them.
"Alas, if my nephew Qi had still been here that day, he would have loved these Puppets."
Chu Wannian sighed, "I wonder if Bu Huan's manor needs workers. Tomorrow, I'll send two helpers over. It's settled, no Cultivation fees."
His words were like a question, yet not a question; regardless of whether Qian Duoduo nodded or shook his head, he was going to send two helpers over.
After he finished speaking, the expressions of the other Palace Lords changed.
Ping Yundan glanced towards Zhangzuo Dajiu.
"This commotion has loosened the Formations of your Immortal Cave and Purple Gold Manor quite a bit. I'll send ten Disciples, led by Wang Dahei and Lei Jiashu, to come and repair them quickly. No, many places still need to be upgraded. Right, Sect Leader?"
These words hit Niu Jinshui right in the heart; the Sect Leader nodded repeatedly.
"No idlers are allowed near here."
Shang Wutui and Zhu Erkang looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
"We'll each send ten Disciples over as well."
Zhu Erkang snapped open his black folding fan and fanned himself a few times irritably.
He thought for a while but couldn't find anyone too familiar with Qian Duoduo, so he just said, "Qi Bingsheng will lead them."
The Sect Leader agreed to Chu Wannian and Ping Yundan, so he naturally couldn't object to Shang Wutui and Zhu Erkang.
Only Zhangzuo Dajiu remained calm and composed; the more elites from the Sect came, the stronger Meng Yuan Legion would become.
Niu Jinshui grabbed some Mengyuan River water from nearby with his left hand, sprinkled it over the Immortal Cave, and announced loudly:
"The matter of Jin Buhuan's Artifact Refining causing thick smoke has been quelled. Everyone, please return."
After everyone left, Qian Duoduo's heart, which had been pounding wildly, slowly calmed down. He was about to turn and enter the house when he saw a face peering over the courtyard wall.
Qian Duoduo was startled and immediately recognized this person as Nangong Nizi.
