Liu Boli was stunned; it was the first time he had heard Qian Duoduo say that the Sacred Artifact referred to itself as a Four-Not-Alike.
Stroking his grizzled beard, he pondered for a long time, then frowned and said, "The Four-Not-Alike is an ancient legend, a Sacred Beast born with heaven and earth."
"A Sacred Beast? A Sacred Artifact? What does a Four-Not-Alike look like?"
Liu Boli shook his head, "No one has ever seen it. But it is said to have a Dragon body, a Qilin head, a Xie Zhi tail, and Crocodile claws."
Qian Duoduo was overjoyed. As long as there was a form, there was a possibility of successful Artifact Refining.
He stood up and excitedly paced back and forth in the Artifact Refining Room, sketching the image of the Four-Not-Alike in his mind.
Although he currently did not have top-tier materials like Dragon bones, Dragon tendons, or Qilin skulls, he had lower-grade materials, so he could first craft a Four-Not-Alike Puppet of a lower grade, and then gradually replace the parts when he acquired top-tier materials.
He stopped and told Liu Boli his plan.
"Master, will this Four-Not-Alike Puppet be enough to awaken the Saint Artifact Spirit?"
Liu Boli replied with a bitter smile, "Who knows the temper of a Sacred Artifact? Do you have any other objects that it is familiar with that could help you?"
Qian Duoduo's heart stirred, and he blurted out, "The Entering Saint Key! If I use the Entering Saint Key as the heart of the Four-Not-Alike Puppet, then the chances of awakening the Saint Artifact Spirit will greatly increase."
Liu Boli nodded, "However, that Soul Tribulation is not easy to deal with."
When he came out of the Refining Saint Wall World, the Entering Saint Key he had refined last time was consumed.
The Entering Saint Key is a Middle-Grade Profound Weapon; when it was successfully refined last time, it triggered a Soul Tribulation, and it was only with the help of the Golden Winged Bird that the Jie Dragon was resolved.
However, last time was in the Refining Spirit Sect, with the Sect Leader and Palace Lord helping to conceal it.
If he were to refine the Entering Saint Key in the Ba Ling Sect, Jin Buhuan's identity would be completely exposed.
"Go to the Ice罡 World and find Xiao Guan."
Qian Duoduo thought and thought, coming up with the only place where he could safely refine the Entering Saint Key.
Half a month later, Qian Duoduo prepared three sets of materials for refining the Entering Saint Key, and also brought some spirit food. Taking advantage of the midday sun when Zeng Zifang was least likely to be out, he walked towards Peak Head Cliff on Nose Peak, continuously praying in his heart.
"May the wicked woman sleep at noon, for beauty and youth, undisturbed."
As he approached Zeng Zifang's Immortal Cave, his heart was in his throat.
However, what he feared most came true.
About twenty zhang from the Immortal Cave, Zeng Zifang's lazy voice rang out:
"Little Qian, you finally remembered me. Come in quickly."
Qian Duoduo was immediately struck as if by lightning, standing frozen outside the Immortal Cave, wishing he could slap himself a few times. Why did he choose to go to Peak Head Cliff when Zeng Zifang was in her Immortal Cave, and awake at that?
He steadied himself and said loudly, "Last time, Grand Elder said he wanted a back-scrubbing Puppet. This time, I came to ask Grand Elder how long and how big he wants the Puppet to be. After getting the dimensions, I also want to go to the Ice Cave Grotto-heaven. There are some Spirit Incense Herbs there that I can gather to refine a bathing fragrant liquid for Grand Elder."
Zeng Zifang let out a charming laugh from inside the Immortal Cave.
"It's rare for Little Qian to be so thoughtful; I didn't dote on you for nothing. Come in, and I'll tell you what size I like..."
Qian Duoduo couldn't stop himself from trembling.
Zeng Zifang's words were extremely ambiguous; if anyone else heard them, who knew what they would imagine.
He was even more afraid that if he went inside, Zeng Zifang would beat him up for no reason, and he would have nowhere to complain about the injustice.
"Those Spirit Incense Herbs are currently at their best time for harvesting. Grand Elder might as well just tell me the size of the Puppet directly." Qian Duoduo steadied his voice and slowly said.
Zeng Zifang snorted coldly, her demeanor shifting from extremely charming to extremely cold.
"I told you to come in, am I going to eat you?"
