Is this girl cultivating immortality? Yunling finds out!

Chapter 16 Try Your Gun

For three consecutive days, Lu Yu settled down in the small courtyard, constantly trying to create works of nature.

Piles of materials were consumed, and Lu Yu's proficiency in machine-making also increased sharply.

"Lu Yu, what is this?"

Fang Ningyu has become a frequent visitor to this courtyard. Every day when she comes, she can see Lu Yu tinkering with some new gadgets.

"Oh, this thing is called the Spirit Shield. You're holding it upside down."

Lu Yu turned the small disc in Fang Ningyu's hand, and then put the shield handle into Fang Ningyu's hand, explaining:
"Hold it like this, then lightly press here, and the mechanism will activate the spirit stone inside."

Lu Yu pointed to the array pattern on the disc and continued:
"Spiritual energy is converted into spiritual power here, and following the array pattern, a shield constructed of spiritual power can be created."

Fang Ningyu was very surprised when she heard this.

The defensive magic weapons in the world of immortal cultivation can only be activated after being attacked.

This is the first time I've seen something that can be launched proactively.

Then he raised the spiritual shield and pressed it lightly.

A yellow-brown spiritual power shield then appeared.

Fang Ningyu clapped her hands lightly and said:
"Interesting! But this layer of spiritual power seems a little thin, barely enough to block my attack."

Lu Yu nodded:
"This is just a test piece, and it only relies on a medium-grade spirit stone to power it. I will improve it later."

Fang Ningyu put down the small shield and asked curiously:

"I've read many books on the ingenuity of nature, but why have I never seen so many of your creations? Could it be that the ingenuity of the Northern Continent sects is different from that of my Eastern Continent?"

Lu Yu shook his head upon hearing this and explained patiently:
"The art of Heavenly Craftsmanship has always been resource-intensive and requires a great deal of time to study. Among the cultivators of this world, those with ample resources would rather spend their time improving their cultivation. The only ones who have the time to ponder Heavenly Craftsmanship are those with poor natural talent. But how could they possibly have the resources to bother with it?"

"really."

Fang Ningyu nodded.

In the eyes of those Taoist sects, this Tiangong Dao is just a piece of chicken ribs.

"Therefore, few people in the four continents of the world have studied the books on the Way of Heavenly Craftsmanship in depth. Therefore, the artifacts collected by the sect are mostly similar. It's normal that you don't recognize these little things, because they are all my own research."

Lu Yu smiled bitterly and said:
"After all, for someone like me whose five elements spiritual roots are all low-grade and who has also practiced the Soul Condensation Technique, I can only study this unconventional method more in order to save my life in the critical moment."

Fang Ningyu didn't feel anything special when she heard Lu Yu's self-deprecating remarks.

After all, she has been well-fed and well-clothed since childhood and has a high status.

When she chooses friends, she never considers their status, position, or talent or qualifications - because none of them can compare to her.

She only cares about whether she gets along with the other person or whether she likes him or her.

Now Lu Yu is very much to her liking. He is also one of the few people she knows who is proficient in numerology, and she can chat with him very well.

Therefore, he didn't care about Lu Yu's spiritual talent or background at all.

Lu Yu was a time traveler, and he did not have the sense of boundaries caused by the difference in realm and status. He treated Ning Yu, a proud girl of heaven, as an equal.

So the two of them get along very naturally and never worry about anything when chatting and talking.

Fang Ningyu put down the spiritual shield in her hand, and suddenly glanced and saw a strangely shaped object in the corner.

He pointed and asked:

"what is that?"

Lu Yu looked over.

"Oh, that's a spirit spear."

"A gun? Why is it shaped like this?"

In Fang Ningyu's understanding, a gun should be a long and thin thing with a pointed end.

Why is this spiritual spear the size of a palm and has a thick and short barrel?

"This"

Lu Yu didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say:

"My spiritual spear is a little different. It's not used for close combat, but it shoots out spiritual energy to attack the enemy from a distance."

As he spoke, he picked up the spiritual spear and demonstrated it to Fang Ningyu.

"Look, aim at the target from here. Three points in a straight line, then just gently pull the trigger."

A purple light flashed from the gun body, and there was a "bang" sound!
Fang Ningyu was startled, but saw a small hole suddenly appear on the distant wall.

The spiritual spear in Lu Yu's hand was emitting wisps of spiritual smoke from the muzzle.

"It's actually a gold-attributed magical weapon! How interesting!"

Fang Ningyu quickly stretched out her little hand, looked at Lu Yu eagerly, and said:

"Let me try your gun, too."

Lu Yu was slightly stunned and asked:

"I have several guns, which one do you want to play with?"

Fang Ningyu was also stunned, and then replied:

"The most powerful one!"

Lu Yu nodded and unbuttoned his clothes. He then pulled out a longer spiritual spear from his bosom and handed it to Fang Ningyu, saying:
"I've named this spirit spear 'Karl Ninety-Eight'. Each shot costs a high-grade spirit stone. However, its craftsmanship is extremely complex, and many delicate parts still need polishing. It's only a semi-finished product now. You can just hold it in your hand and look at it, but it can't be fired."

Fang Ningyu took the spirit spear, raised it up and took a look, waved it in her hand for a while, and then returned it to Lu Yu, saying:

"Your gun is much more convenient to use, and the size is just right."

After all, Fang Ningyu usually uses a long sword as her magic weapon, so she is not used to using short weapons.

"By the way, how does your magical weapon transform your spiritual power into metal spiritual power?"

The color of metallic spiritual power is purple, and Fang Ningyu herself was born with pure gold spiritual roots, so she recognized it at a glance.

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment and replied:

"Why do you want to transform my spiritual power?"

Fang Ningyu was also stunned and couldn't help asking:

"Not converting your spiritual power? Then how can you activate the formation within the magic weapon?"

It should be noted that the offensive magic weapons in the world of immortal cultivation require the cultivator to inject spiritual power into them first, and then the formation inside the magic weapon can be activated, and then all kinds of magical powers can be displayed.

However, what Lu Yu practiced was the Soul-Yuan technique. The spiritual energy condensed by this technique only had healing and conditioning properties and could not activate any offensive formation at all.

Therefore, Lu Yu could only use what he had learned in his previous life to develop a method of "physically activating" the spiritual energy in the spirit stone.

"I use this lightning stone to strike the spirit stone, stimulate the spiritual energy inside the spirit stone, and then use the formation to convert it into spiritual power."

Lu Yu explained.

"Oh? The lightning stone can actually activate the spiritual energy within the spirit stone?"

Fang Ningyu heard this for the first time and nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Lu Yu's invention was quite powerful.

But I can’t say exactly what’s so great about it.

I simply stopped thinking about it and continued to fiddle with other novel gadgets.

"By the way, Ningyu, is there a blacksmith in this City Lord's Mansion?"

Lu Yu suddenly said:
"I have some spirit spear parts here."

After all, this is not modern society, and there are not so many sophisticated equipment to use.

Before this, being able to make that simple short spiritual spear was already Lu Yu's limit.

If you want to make parts for Carl 98, you must rely on the blacksmiths in this world.

It is said that some skilled blacksmiths have their own set of exclusive smelting and forging techniques. I believe that such a huge city lord's mansion will definitely support a few of them.

"some."

Fang Ningyu nodded and replied:
"I will bring a few masters here tomorrow. I also want to see the power of your spirit spear."

The two chatted for a while in the courtyard.

Suddenly, a maid came jogging to the gate of the courtyard.

"Mr. Lu, the master invites you to the living room for a chat."

Hearing the call, Fang Ningyu walked out first.

"Ah, miss!"

The maid obviously didn't expect her lady to be here, and she quickly bowed.

"What does my father want from Lu Yu?"

Fang Ningyu asked.

Lu Yu also walked out of the courtyard and looked at the maid curiously.

The maid replied truthfully:
