Qian Duoduo closed his eyes, quieted his heart for a while, circulated the Eternal Wealth and Nobility cultivation method, extended all his Spiritual Awareness, and carefully sensed the four Winged Vehicle parts he had just refined.
Once he was as familiar with these four parts as with the clothes on his body, he first combined the vehicle body and the vehicle base.
The heavy vehicle body was many times heavier than the Golden Rooster Sword.
Qian Duoduo channeled enough Spiritual Qi, augmented by his Spiritual Awareness, to steadily move the vehicle body onto the vehicle base, joining them together using mortise and tenon craftsmanship.
The vehicle control section was much lighter and more delicate compared to the vehicle body and base. It took him an hour to install the vehicle controls onto the vehicle body.
Qian Duoduo stood up and walked around the Jail for a while, recovering his expended Spiritual Qi and restoring the sensitivity of his hands and feet.
Then came the most difficult part—connecting the vehicle wings to the vehicle body and controls.
Feeling that his state was well-adjusted, he sat down, waved his hand, and a pair of four-winged bird wings, two to three zhang long, soared into the air, attaching themselves to the vehicle body, one on the left and one on the right.
Through his Spiritual Awareness, he clearly saw dozens of Spiritual Veins and tens of thousands of Spiritual Qi tubes on the bird wings.
These dozens of Spiritual Veins and tens of thousands of Spiritual Qi tubes had to be precisely connected one by one to the large and small Spiritual tubes on the vehicle controls.
The world seemed to cease to exist, leaving only these dense, hair-like Spiritual tubes.
After connecting the left wing, he then connected the right wing. For the connected Spiritual tubes, in addition to using mortise and tenon joints, many places were also sewn with sinew threads.
Qian Duoduo meticulously checked three times to ensure all Spiritual tubes were correctly connected and tightly joined.
“Whew,” he let out a long breath, pointed a finger, and activated the Winged Vehicle.
Spiritual Qi was transmitted through the Spiritual tubes to the wings.
The four-winged bird wings flapped, and Spiritual Qi lifted the Winged Vehicle, making it fly!
Haha, it’s a success!
Qian Duoduo thought for a moment, then made the Winged Vehicle stop on the ground, opened its body, and placed equipment weighing as much as ten Golden Ox inside.
He activated it again, and with a mighty gust of wind from the vehicle wings, it still flew!
Looking at the massive object suspended in the air, he excitedly said to Liu Boli in his mind, “Master, look, I have the tool to steal the Golden Ox.”
Liu Boli hummed softly, his eyelids lifting slightly.
Chatting with him was sometimes so boring; when Qian Duoduo was excited about something, he was completely indifferent.
There was no helping it; who made his Realm high and his knowledge vast?
If he were to comment on Qian Duoduo’s new Winged Vehicle, he would definitely say, “It’s passable. A Senior Dan Artifact. No Artifact Spirit…”
After putting the Winged Vehicle away, Qian Duoduo went out to find Elder Tian Shu.
As soon as she entered the Jail, she froze, covering her mouth and saying, “Are you crazy?”
Qian Duoduo opened the vehicle body, allowing her to see the spacious interior and the equipment inside, which weighed as much as ten adult Golden Ox.
He activated the Winged Vehicle. Amidst the howling wind, the Winged Vehicle floated into the air.
Elder Tian Shu turned into a statue, standing dumbfounded for a long while, then turned to Qian Duoduo and asked, “What’s the use of this big guy?”
“It has a wonderful use, a great use.”
Qian Duoduo naturally couldn't tell her that he was going to steal the Shengling Sect’s Golden Ox.
“However, there’s something I need to trouble Elder with now. This Great Winged Vehicle is too big. Please send someone to remove this Jail door and enlarge the opening so it can get out.”
“What if the Jail door isn’t big enough?” Tian Shu asked, rubbing her forehead.
“Then just keep expanding it,” Qian Duoduo replied with a smile, “And please help me recruit those ten First-Grade Artifact Refiner. I’ll cover the costs, and even double them.”
“For the door expansion, I’ll ask the Sect Leader. If the Sect Leader agrees, we’ll expand it immediately. What do you need the Artifact Refiner for?” Elder Tian Shu asked weakly.
“To continue building vehicles.”
“Still building? How many of these Great Winged Vehicles are you planning to build?” Elder Tian Shu’s eyes were full of helplessness.
“At least a hundred.”
“How long will it take to build a hundred?”
“One month.”
“Bu Huan, that’s impossible. It took you almost two days to build one. Forget ten First-Grade Artifact Refiner, even a hundred wouldn’t be able to build them.”
“Please trouble Elder Tian Shu. Just recruit them.”
At noon the next day, Qian Duoduo was in his Immortal Cave studying a Puppet scroll when Elder Tian Shu’s Jade Slip message arrived: the door had been expanded, and the ten First-Grade Artifact Refiner were in place.
Qian Duoduo quickly went to the Winged Vehicle workshop.
Elder Tian Shu had opened up two Jail cells, creating a spacious vehicle-building workshop. The ten First-Grade Artifact Refiner were curiously waiting for him.
In their opinion, First-Grade Artifact Refiner couldn't build Winged Vehicles.
Qian Duoduo hiring them at double the cost to build them must mean he was hit by a Winged Vehicle, and not lightly.
Qian Duoduo handed each Artifact Refiner an Magic Treasure and said to the first one, “You, you’re responsible for refining these ten types of materials, one hundred and twenty pieces of each. Any problems?”
The Artifact Refiner carefully looked at the Magic Treasure and nodded.
Qian Duoduo said to the second one, “These ten types, also one hundred and twenty pieces, you refine them…”
After assigning tasks to the ten Artifact Refiner, Qian Duoduo clapped his hands, “I’ll come to collect them in ten days. Those with good quality and fast speed will receive additional rewards.”
Elder Tian Shu, who was standing by, was stunned. Seeing Qian Duoduo about to leave, she quickly stopped him, “Is that it?”
“Yes.”
“But, the hundred Great Winged Vehicles aren’t finished yet?”
“They do what they can do; refining the materials is enough. For what they can’t do, such as the refining of the vehicle wings, the assembly of the vehicle body and base, and the connection of the vehicle controls, I’ll do it,” Qian Duoduo said with full confidence.
Elder Tian Shu stood rooted to the spot, slowly processing the meaning of his words.
In February, Fengtou Mountain was a scene of spring.
On the tender green branches, male Spirit Birds displayed their beautiful feathers, courting the female Spirit Birds not far away.
Packs of Spiritual Wolf, hungry after a winter, surrounded several old and weak Spiritual Sheep that had come out to forage.
spiritual plants emerged from the soil, from beneath rocks, and from tree crevices, vying for sunlight across the mountains and fields, basking in the warm breeze.
In the mountain forest by the Phoenix River, a team of over a hundred people quietly gathered.
At the front of the team was Palace Lord Zhangzuo Dajiu Tang Honggong. At this time, he was wearing the robes of the Shengling Sect, with a circle of blade patterns embroidered on the sleeves.
Qian Duoduo, Wang Dahei, Lei Jiashu, and other Senior Brother followed closely behind.
They had also changed into the Shengling Sect’s attire. Behind them were a hundred Great Winged Vehicles. When these hundred Great Winged Vehicles were manufactured, they greatly astonished Elder Tian Shu.
She learned this method of division of labor, and now the speed of vehicle manufacturing had greatly increased.
The surface of the vehicle body had already been painted a spring-grass green. Inside each vehicle sat an Inner Sect Disciple from Mengyuan Mountain. In the first vehicle sat Xu Fa. The second was Zhu Anshun…
Palace Lord Zhangzuo Dajiu was somewhat excited.
He stood on a large rock, his voice deep and powerful.
“The Shengling Sect is our enemy sect. For a long time, they have regarded our Refining Spirit Sect as nothing, often infiltrating our sect to steal treasures, mine spiritual minerals, and kill our fellow Disciples.
Today, we will return their own Dao to them. Your selection to participate in this operation shows that you are all elites of our sect.
Our journey is destined to turn the Shengling Sect upside down, to make our enemies taste the pain of defeat, and to return safely and laden with spoils, making our entire sect proud of your bravery.”
Qian Duoduo and the other Disciples were visibly excited, raising their right hands, clenching their fists, and waving them three times in the air.
Doing bad things to an enemy sect was doing good things for their own sect.
How could they not be excited about doing bad things openly and honorably?
“Break the Formation!” Palace Lord Zhangzuo Dajiu commanded.
Wang Dahei, Lei Jiashu, and several Senior Brother stepped forward, crouched down to the riverbank, and waved their hands in the air.
Clusters of willow catkins appeared, slowly drifting towards the opposite bank of the river.
The Phoenix River was hundreds of zhang wide; relying solely on a gentle breeze, they would never cross it.
The willow catkins were controlled by the Senior Brother using Spiritual Awareness, landing on the opposite bank and slowly covering an area of about ten zhang.
Within that area, the Formation that had been faintly glowing dimmed.
“Landing point successful!” The Great Master reported in a low voice to Palace Lord Zhangzuo Dajiu, his voice filled with pride.
