Chui Chui lay on Liu Yuan's shoulder, rubbed Liu Yuan's neck very clingingly, and meowed with his eyes narrowed.
Liu Yuan nodded, pinched the orange cat's ears, and analyzed: "Since this guy has been regarded as a host by the Emperor, he will definitely not hand over the Qingxie money this time. After all, if you want to get the contribution points, you must have the mission process as evidence.
And now that the Emperor Wu has handed the Marrow Cleansing Sutra to me, he may only be able to get the skills from the demon body outside the tomb. In this case, it would be better for him to betray Qingxie Fang and run away with the things himself... He also has the identity of a disciple of Taiqing Pavilion, and it doesn't look like he has a low rank. He will most likely report this to Taiqing Pavilion, and Taiqing Pavilion will definitely protect him, so he doesn't have to worry about Qingxie Fang hunting him down."
Liu Yuan analyzed Tang Yuanhua's psychology thoroughly and even thought of his escape route. He turned to Zhiying and said, "That's fine... It's a good opportunity for you to take a break. When he comes back, you can walk a little way and send him off."
Zhiying nodded, and then asked, "Father plans to make friends with him?"
Liu Yuan cleared his throat and said with a smile, "It can't be considered a friendship... Senior Wudi said before that he would not disappear for the time being because he had to do something that needed to be done. I boldly guessed that he was going to seek revenge on the people who had framed him and his wife in the past. In the previous battle, when he killed the three-headed demon for the last time, he definitely had a lot of energy left - he didn't try his best at all."
Although Liu Yuan almost had to change gears and start over because of He Qingmeng, he did not intend to vent his anger on Emperor Wu's "inaction". After all, Emperor Wu had no obligation to help him... It was more of a helplessness.
That copy of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra should be given to him as compensation, so it's not a loss at all.
Zhiying's pupils shrank. She had no time to observe these things in the previous battle. Liu Yuan guessed that it was because she was basically not involved in the battle at that time that she had the leisure to notice these details, but her keenness to details was already amazing.
The girl said in a deep voice: "He is conserving the strength of his remaining soul."
Hammer Hammer was filled with righteous indignation: "This old bitch... Ugh!"
Liu Yuan quickly suppressed the dirty words from the cute little cat's mouth.
He went on to say, "He needs to conserve his strength, but he really wants to kill the demon, so on the one hand it may be because he wants revenge, and on the other hand it is because his remnant soul has a time limit, and the time should be relatively short. It's not that he doesn't want to occupy Tang Yuanhua's body permanently, but he can't."
Zhiying understood: "So after the remnant soul of Emperor Wu has taken revenge by borrowing Tang Yuanhua's body, it will most likely disappear... and the subsequent events caused by revenge will need to be handled by Tang Yuanhua himself. Father wants to see what Tang Yuanhua will do before deciding whether to make friends with him or help him. Now he is just trying to establish a good relationship with him for the time being."
Liu Yuan was very pleased: "This boy is teachable."
Zhiying smiled, not only because Liu Yuan praised her, but also because of Ruzi... in fact, he also had the intention of being a concubine.
The girl looked at Liu Yuan's expression and thought that he probably didn't know.
So he hid this little joy in his heart, and with just a smile, he returned to his original indifferent appearance.
Liu Yuan was amazed by the brief but beautiful smile, but he had no idea what kind of tenderness of the girl was hidden in it.
Several people sat down to rest. Hong Fu began to read Yanshi's diary again, while Liu Yuan planned to study the changes in his Dantian.
This newly created black and white cyclone is almost twice as efficient in absorbing spiritual energy as the original cyclone that was formed in the dantian.
The spiritual power and demonic energy sharpen each other like a millstone. With one breath, it can swallow a large amount of spiritual energy, and then refine it with extremely high efficiency. There is a visible improvement every minute and every second.
The Jindan stage has always been a watershed between mortals and immortal cultivators.
Only when one reaches the Golden Elixir stage, one can be said to have truly touched the threshold of cultivation, which is called the "Golden Elixir Avenue". To cultivate the inner elixir is to use the human body as a furnace, the essence and qi in the body as medicine, and to use the spirit to refine it.
As for how to smelt it and how efficient it is, that is a matter of each school’s techniques.
Liu Yuan's method...is probably unprecedented and will never be repeated.
But he frowned, feeling that something was wrong. The cyclone in his dantian seemed to be moving in a certain direction.
Liu Yuan judged that it was probably the location where the three-headed demon had fallen before.
That is a kind of "hunger".
Now the cyclone, demonic energy and spiritual power in Dantian have barely reached a balance, but the spiritual power will increase with the growth of his cultivation, while the demonic energy can only be controlled.
Unless he could obtain more demonic energy, he could only kill and devour more demons.
There is no such thing as a free lunch...
After a while, Hong Fu suddenly tugged at the corner of Liu Yuan's clothes.
Liu Yuan opened his eyes from his deep thought, and the little doll whispered, "I found out..."
"Ok?"
Liu Yuan was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.
The little puppet then opened the diary and pointed to a place and said, "This is the white jade palace."
Liu Yuan nodded: "Then what?"
The little puppet moved his finger downward and said, "This is what the white jade palace looks like after it has transformed."
"...?"
Liu Yuan looked at the Gundam-like thing on the yellowed book and fell into deep thought.
This sharp-edged white body, these eight wings... Is this game designer crazy?!
"Boom..."
Liu Yuan subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the white jade palace, his voice was floating: "Oh, Tang Yuanhua went to check the palace. I hope he won't trigger any flags..."
"Boom!" A clear loud noise was heard, and then the ground was shaking.
A huge and majestic white jade body slowly "rose from the ground" among the woods, and its various parts were still being assembled, lifting up a piece of soil and trees, which all fell down with a swish and hit the ground, with its "lower body" covered in mud and dust.
From a distance, Tang Yuanhua's voice could be heard: "Run, run!!!"
Liu Yuan: “…”
Hong Fu added: "Those wings are not just for decoration, they can really fly."
-
At the entrances of various places on the island, teams from different sects were teleported in one after another.
They all raised their heads at the same time and looked at the eight-winged white jade mechanical puppet that looked like a demon.
The eight slender, featherless wings looked majestic, but seemed to have no power at all.
“Woo—whoosh!”
After a buzzing sound, the eight wings actually emitted a spiritual glow, and then a wave of spiritual power spurted out from them... It was like the gorgeous wings of a butterfly, indicating its own dangerousness.
Chapter 226: I've met the right person after seeing your eyes
"Rumble..."
The wings of light spread out!
Liu Yuan stared in amazement at the huge mechanical puppet, whose specific situation was difficult to discern at first. However, as it slowly stood up, countless mechanisms turned and combined. Liu Yuan recognized the lotus-shaped crack emitting golden light. It was a layer of garden where they got the Yanshi diary, and the broken body and limbs were all pieced together from the interconnected corridors and secret rooms.
The eight wings should be the track chains hidden between the various library rooms in the Sutra Library. The bronze metal exudes a dull luster, and the broken chains sway left and right with the movement of the puppet, hitting other parts and making clanging sounds.
Because the entire palace had been destroyed in many places before, the standing puppets looked a bit shabby overall, but this incomplete appearance had a peculiar beauty.
Mud and dust rose in the air, covering the entire huge and twisted puppet in a hazy darkness, making it look mysterious and magnificent.
Because most of the original base, which was also the garden, was buried underground. Now that it has come out, it has overturned the surrounding ground. The entire island is shaking, as terrifying as a dragon turning over, and it is daunting.
"Awoo... Awoo..." Those strange beasts that originally lived inside the palace fell down like dumplings, and fell to the ground or into the jungle. Some wailed and screamed, while others simply fell into a puddle of mud.
These half-rotten beasts were the product of a failed experiment in the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. Under normal circumstances, their combat effectiveness was just so-so, and their bodies with loose muscles were easily shattered.
The overall image of this doll, apart from the eight wings at the back and a shape that is similar to the Strike Freedom Gundam in outline, is actually closer to the statues of gods and demons in temples, including the half-missing head that is turned upside down on the top.
The expression even had a hint of divine indifference and kindness.
Liu Yuan can still understand this, after all, this is still the world view of immortal heroes...
What a fool to understand!
Oh my god, the Yanshi mechanical technology created a transformable Gundam? !
Liu Yuan twitched his lips and looked at the eight wings of light in a daze, although he could actually understand it after taking a closer look.
Since Yanshi can even make a bionic man like Hong Fu, then from a technical point of view, it is actually reasonable for them to make a Gundam.
But emotionally speaking, it is still very shocking.
This is a Gundam after all!
"Hong Fu, when you have learned the art of mechanical engineering, can you also make one?" Liu Yuan couldn't help but murmured.
Hong Fu was a little confused: "Of course it is possible, but this 'Palace Spirit Puppet God' is time-consuming and laborious to make. Although it is powerful, if it is fully activated, it can probably be comparable to a great cultivator in the Fusion Stage, but it also requires a cultivator in the Fusion Stage to control it. It is not very useful at all... Therefore, Master Yanshi never used it later and completely shelved it."
"No, no, no, whether it's useful or not is secondary. As long as it can be opened, that's fine."
Liu Yuan said sincerely, "I'll collect whatever materials you need, and I'll design the exterior, okay?"
The little doll said "oh" with a confused look in his eyes, not quite understanding why he suddenly burst into inexplicable enthusiasm.
"Oh!"
The body of the Temple Spirit Puppet God finally stabilized, but perhaps because of insufficient power, it was unable to fly, and its wings of light also dimmed.
It lifted its foot and took a step forward, and the ground shook.
The momentum is amazing.
Hong Fu flipped through the diary and said, "After the Palace Spirit Puppet God was attacked, there was a self-defense mode that activated a wooden bead inside it, storing a large amount of spiritual power in advance, which is probably equivalent to the strength of a cultivator at the peak of the fusion stage. However, it can only last for a cup of tea, and it will be useless after that time... Moreover, after so many years, the spiritual power in the wooden bead has been seriously lost, and it must be much less than before."
"Muhuazhu?"
Liu Yuan's heart moved. Isn't this one of the Five Luminous Divine Pearls?
He already has two of them, water and fire, in his hand. If he takes one more, he will have most of them. "Where is the approximate location?"
Liu Yuan sensed that the spiritual power fluctuations of this temple's spirit puppet god were approximately at the Void Refinement Stage, and were rapidly weakening.
With Liu Yuan's current cultivation level and the blessing of the cards, he has officially broken through the Spirit Transformation Stage and reached the Void Refining Stage, which is worth doing.
Hong Fu pointed to the heart of the huge puppet and said, "It's about three feet deep in there."
"bass!"
Liu Yuan put aside his murderous intent and squinted his eyes at the temple spirit puppet god.
Although the Killing Heart and Evil Heart is a long-range bow weapon, its mental attack is only effective against conscious objects. This huge puppet with no signs of life is obviously not within the attack range.
So I can only fight in close combat...
He never thought that one day he would have the opportunity to dismantle a Gundam with his bare hands.
On the other side, Tang Yuanhua's voice was still coming, and his figure had already rushed out from the woods in the distance.
Seeing that several people were still standing there, he hurriedly said, "Hurry, run!"
Tang Yuanhua staggered and almost fell down.
As soon as he came out, the Temple Spirit Puppet God, which had seemed a little slow, suddenly lowered its head and locked onto this tiny human.
“Bang—Shua!”
It was probably the sound of the howling wind, a bit like the feeling of a typhoon sweeping across the sky and earth and blowing towards you.
The war machine took another step forward as before. With this step, the whole puppet sank, and a huge crack appeared on the ground. Then with a loud bang, it leaned over and rushed towards the crowd.
Although it looks bulky, it actually has amazing speed.
Liu Yuan felt that the impact was more like EVA than Gundam.
The puppet in sight spread its eight wings and made a diving gesture. Runes flowed on its body and sharp wind blades gathered in its empty palms.
With such a large volume, if it were to sweep across, it would probably even lift up a layer of the ground, let alone people.
Liu Yuan was just about to take action when shouts suddenly came from other places on the island.
"Formation!"
In response, several people soared into the sky, flying on their swords. The long swords whizzed through the air, forming a Liuren sword formation and aimed at the puppet.
These people were wearing swordsmith's robes and were obviously from the Sword Pavilion.
Then, another group of people dressed differently appeared and shouted, "Don't panic, people from Jian Pavilion, Taiqing Pavilion is here to help!"
Then there was another strange laugh: "What do you mean by help? I'm afraid you're here to share a piece of the pie. I, Tianbao Pavilion, am not so hypocritical. This puppet is of great value. How about I, Yan Gang, in exchange for 60,000 spirit stones for you to watch?"
The three pavilions gathered together and it was extremely lively for a while.
"These people... too. The Nine Cauldrons Formation has been touched. The barriers at the entrances to the island are probably opened. There should be movement in the outside world as well. But all these people have come here. How long have I stayed in this Emperor Wu's Tomb?"
Liu Yuan was stunned, and then felt a bad premonition.
The three sects are all here...what about the other sects?
“Since it is of great value, it should be handed over to Baishanyuan for disposal.”
The ethereal and cold female voice echoed throughout the entire island and reached Liu Yuan's ears.
He looked up suddenly and saw a woman standing far away in mid-air. She was wearing a black Taoist robe with wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, her long hair was dancing, her features were hidden in the clouds, only a pair of eyes like cold stars were visible.
