The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

Meris seemed somewhat relieved. Without saying a word, she raised her hand and lightly tapped the image of the L1 medical robot, her pupils displaying a large stream of information.

A crisp "ding" sounded.

The metal floor to the side is recessed inward.

As it rises.

The "L1 type medical robot" was fully revealed to Zhu Yu.

She wore a crown of thorns, had long green hair that cascaded down her back, fair skin on her ear tips, and pure white wings on her back. Her appearance was exquisite and beautiful, her eyes were closed, and her hands were clasped in front of her chest, giving her a sense of holiness.

Just one glance.

I hope that I can clearly perceive the life, sanctity, and purity emanating from the "L1 type medical robot".

This is her life's magnetic field.

A positively amplifying magnetic field; if an ordinary person were to spend even a moment in its presence, they would surely live to a ripe old age without illness or disaster.

Zhu Yu exclaimed in admiration, "Truly a masterpiece..."

In his divine perception, the girl was not entirely mechanical, but rather a half-flesh, half-machine life form, and the aura she emitted was indeed, as Melis had said, at the mid-stage of the second tier.

Melis chuckled lightly, her tone tinged with pride, and said, "This is the culmination of wisdom."

Zhu Yu nodded in agreement, and then, under Melis's guidance, activated the "L1 Medical Robot," which opened its eyes, revealing heterochromatic pupils of one white and one green.

A magnetic field enveloped Zhu Yu.

A metallic voice rang out.

"Entering information..."

"Data entry complete. 'L1 Medical Robot,' serial number 331, is at your service, esteemed master."

After the information was entered, the "L1 type medical robot" no longer had a cold expression; it smiled and bowed slightly.

"That's it?... "

Zhu Yu raised an eyebrow. He didn't believe in any one-sided recognition of a master, especially since it was just collecting his information. But he didn't say anything. Instead, he reached out and placed his hand on the head of the "L1 Medical Robot".

His gaze was fixed on her.

While forcibly imprinting his personal soul mark.

An information panel appeared.

[Target: Level 1 medical robot]

[Race: Dream Creature]

[Bloodline: Mechanical, Elf, Angel "Chaos"]

[Cultivation Level: Mid-Second Tier "1%"]

[Technique: None]

[Innate Divine Ability:]

[Talented Spells: AI, Mimicry, Summon Treants, Spear of Light, Healing Aura, Life Aura, Holy Light, Blessing...]

[Foundation: Mithril Body "Gold, Light, Wood"]

[Status: Hibernating]

"Um?…"

Zhu Yu's gaze swept over the "L1 type medical robot" and he was immediately stunned by its rudimentary panel, which was practically devoid of any features.

There are no cultivation techniques, no supernatural powers, and no spiritual body.

What kind of second-order is this?

There's a whole bunch of spells, but what good are they?

So, the mid-stage second-tier cultivation level that Melis just mentioned is the biggest advantage of the "L1-type medical robot"?

Zhu Yu suppressed his dissatisfaction and looked at the race. His gaze lingered on the bloodline section, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

After learning the truth, his face immediately darkened.

"Dream Creation".

Simply put, it refers to creations that are entirely manifested through imagination.

The so-called perfect fusion of machinery and flesh is just an appearance; in reality, it's a complete mess inside. Not only is it incompatible, but it also causes the "elf" and "angel" bloodlines to lose their original power.

A crystallization of wisdom?

If imagination can be considered wisdom, then it could be considered a crystallization of wisdom...

"hiss…"

Zhu Yu took a light breath, shifting his gaze from the blank slate that even Yao Ye couldn't beat, and landing it on the proud-looking Melis.

He was even more speechless.

No.

What are you so arrogant about?

Do you really think you guys invented this piece of junk?

He vaguely understood why the cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Sect didn't care much about the Dawn; the reason probably lay here.

Zhu Yuqiang suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Councilor Melis, do you have any normal machines here... no, do you have any second-tier high elves or angels?"

Melis paused, then slightly raised her head and puffed out her chest, saying, "Sir, the 'Dawn' never sells junk."

With veins bulging on his balance, he thought, "What if I wanted to buy it?"

Melis shook her head. "I'm sorry."

Zhu Yu wanted to get angry, but he was afraid of startling the monster, so he suppressed his anger and said, "I can pay more."

Melis shook her head firmly and repeated, "Sir, the Dawn never sells junk."

Zhu Yu's expression froze.

Never sell garbage?

He suspected it was sarcasm, and the whiteboard next to him was evidence of it.

"call…"

Zhu Yu took a deep breath. As his thoughts gradually calmed down, he slowly realized that the "Dawn" was probably not so much that it disdained selling high elves and angels, but that it simply didn't have any.

This is further illustrated by the current awkward situation of the "Dawn".

He came to a conclusion.

The "Dawn" may be severely damaged and temporarily unable to leave the "Martial World". Because it is under the control of "True Lord Qingping" in a certain area, it has to make trade with them to obtain resources for recovery. However, it has no real things and can only rely on "Imagination Power" to manifest some strange things.

With this in mind, Zhu Yu completely gave up hope, abandoning any thought of trading the "Life Stone" and the "Dawn" for profit. He no longer questioned Melis, but instead said helplessly:

"You can allocate the remaining 50 million resource points to me, along with all the laboratory equipment and the purification technology and machines that Raul mentioned."

As if remembering something, he reached into his sleeve and took out the strange object he had obtained from Bai Meng, the "crystal ball," and handed it to Melis, saying:

"Help me fix it."

He paused, then added, still uneasy:

"What I want is a complete restoration, not a 'fantasy creation' just like it, do you understand, Melis?"

"certainly."

Melis gave him a strange look, took the crystal ball, and lightly tapped it. Strands of beautiful colors, like ribbons of glass, flowed from her fingertips and poured into the crystal ball.

The cracks on the surface of the crystal ball visibly healed, and gradually, a bizarre and ethereal aura slowly emanated from it.

When all the cracks in the crystal ball were healed, a deep blue color, like stars in the night sky, was born at its core and quickly spread out.

In just a few breaths.

The entire crystal resembles a star, radiating a hazy glow.

"alright."

Melis seemed to have done something insignificant, handing it to Zhu Yu, then unfolding the screen and tapping on it.

The items were of different sizes.

Items such as a sleek operating table, sets of bottles and jars, or a silver box emerge one after another from the metal floor.

Zhu Yu glanced at it only once before his gaze fell on the strange object in his palm, sensing the peculiar aura it emitted, and stared intently at it.

A message was clearly revealed.

[Target: The Witch's Divination Crystal Ball]

[Belongs to: Gensokyo, a rare item]

[Grade: Tier 2]

[Effect: By consuming life force, one can observe the stars and perform daily divination.]

"The Witch's Divination Crystal Ball..."

Zhu Yu's eyes lit up instantly. Upon seeing its effect, he immediately thought of the use of the "Witch's Divination Crystal Ball".

That is used to distract the mind.

If one could divine the exact coordinates of the "Otherworldly Spirit Ruins," that would truly be a stroke of good fortune.

But he quickly calmed down.

The "Witch's Divination Crystal Ball" is only a second-tier artifact; whether it can divine the coordinates of the "Otherworldly Spirit Ruins" is still unknown...

As for the price to pay, it's the depletion of life force.

He didn't care much about this. Not only was his vitality already terrifyingly strong after advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, but he also had the "Life Dew" that could prolong his life, so he had nothing to worry about.

Zhu Yu suppressed his experimental thoughts, carefully put away the "Witch's Divination Crystal Ball," glanced around at the dazzling array of goods, looked at Melis, and before she could speak, simply said:

"I believe you, that's all."

Melis smiled and gave a slight bow, "It is Melis's honor."

Perhaps sensing that he didn't want to talk, she didn't say much and handed Zhu Yu a card containing information on how to use the laboratory equipment.

The robots entered the store in an orderly fashion and began moving goods.

Goodbye.

Zhu Yu didn't linger, nodded slightly, and turned to walk out of the shop.

The "L1 type medical robot" followed closely behind.

Under Melis's watchful gaze, the convoy merged into the street traffic and slowly drove away.

Outside of desertified areas.

When Zhu Yu saw that the "L1 medical robot" left the desertified area and entered the "Qingping Zhenjun" domain without any abnormalities, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"A blank board is fine, it didn't cost much anyway..."

He glanced at it up and down, nodded slightly. Putting everything else aside, the life, holiness, and purity emanating from the "L1 medical robot" made him feel very comfortable.

After a moment's thought, he said:

"Born with the blood of elves and angels, from now on you shall be called... Green Spirit."

The "L1 type medical robot," also known as Green Spirit, smiled gently, bowed slightly, and spoke in a clear and melodious voice.

"Yes, esteemed master."

Zhu Yu nodded slightly, raised his hand and pressed it against her brow, attempting to analyze it with the "Eye of True Sight".

As expected, the outcome was indefinite.

Clearly, it's either that he lacks understanding of "fantasy creations," or that the level of "fantasy power" is too high, exceeding the analytical capabilities of "True Sight."

Without much thought, Zhu Yu put away the panel and looked at the other goods, checking them one by one.

There are seven items in total.

First is the "experimental chamber," which looks no bigger than a suitcase, but when unfolded, it's as large as a football field. Inside, it can integrate functions including air circulation, water circulation, cooling, heating, water production, dust removal, and more...

Its value is second only to "Green Spirit".

Next is the high-cleanliness laboratory bench used for biological experiments.

Its effects include self-cleaning, restraint, and sedation. It can be used for dissecting organisms as well as for biological therapy.

Besides.

A set of hundreds of bottles and jars of various sizes used for experiments, made of extremely hard material, would take a long time to leave a stain even with magical erosion.

Various cutting tools, with a hardness level of two.

High-powered microscope.

Bacterial culture dish.

Blood separation centrifuge.

"good."

After checking everything, Zhu Yu nodded in satisfaction.

As expected, these items were "fantasy creations." Although they could not be analyzed, these devices would undoubtedly provide great assistance for him to cultivate his followers and refine his bloodline later on.

He manifested the bronze door, stored the items in his "Life Spirit Ruins," instructed Green Spirit to build a "laboratory," glanced at the "Dawn," and then rode away in his escape light.

He handed over the "Disciple of the Underworld" reward to Xiang Sui, Liang Kuan and others, and promised Liang Kuan that once his cultivation broke through, he would take him as a subordinate Foundation Establishment cultivator. He then left Yanzhou without lingering and returned to "Yongzhou" amidst Liang Kuan's excited thanks.

For the next two weeks.

"Yongzhou" is peaceful and tranquil.

None of the heroes of the martial arts world came to the "Zhenwu Army" he had imagined.

It's not that the "Great Yu Dynasty" doesn't care.

Instead, they simply didn't have the time or energy to attend to it.

During his deal with the Dawn.

None of the heroes of the martial arts world came to the "Zhenwu Army" he had imagined.

It's not that the "Great Yu Dynasty" doesn't care.

Instead, they simply didn't have the time or energy to attend to it.

During his deal with the Dawn.

Master Zhanlong and his followers, like dragons entering the sea, stirred up trouble in several major states, often massacring entire cities and families, and these were all prosperous towns, instantly attracting the attention of the "Great Yu Dynasty".

It's not just the "Zhenwuwei" in various places.

Some well-known powerful figures in the "Dharma Realm" also made their moves.

However, even the one with the lowest cultivation level among "Zhanlong Zhenren" and others is the one who has perfected the "Triple Tower" method. He is strong and has rich experience in invading foreign lands. Like a slippery eel, he stirs up disasters in various places.

And it was at this moment.

The true immortals from "Santu Lingxu" who came to "Martial World" have made their move.

And they went all out from the start.

A hill in Yongzhou.

A huge light screen appeared in mid-air.

A vast, turbulent ocean appears above it.

Not long after.

The Nine-Headed Immortal's eyes narrowed. "They've arrived."

Zhu Yu focused his attention on it.

The azure ocean, as if dipped in ink, quickly turned a deep, dark black and spread rapidly in all directions.

In just a few breaths.

All that could be seen was a deep black.

As the darkness extended to a certain coastline, a ferocious serpent covered in bone spurs roared as it burst forth from the sea. Immediately afterward, sea snakes, some covered in bone spurs and others brightly colored, surged ashore like a tide, rushing towards the city built along the coast.

The sea serpent looked very small through the curtain.

But when it comes into contact with the humans in the city, they all turn into man-eating serpents, and wherever it goes, humans and animals perish.

Even some warriors who displayed "divine words" perished in the mouths of snakes.

Only martial artists at the "Dao Fruit" and "Golden Body" realms could recklessly slaughter the snake horde by relying on their ability to traverse the air. However, before long, large snakes appeared to fight against them. As more and more of these large snakes appeared, the horde was instantly plunged into danger.

at the same time.

The dark waters of the sea split into dozens or even hundreds of streams, connecting various parts of the narrow coastline. One after another, ferocious and ugly sea beasts rushed out, swarming towards the cities.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yu's eyes were filled with undisguised shock.

What he cared about was not that the "Three Paths Spirit Ruins" could command sea beasts, but how it cultivated so many sea beasts that were comparable to martial artists at the "Dao Fruit" or even "Golden Body" realms.

"The Three Paths Spirit Ruins..."

Others were also stunned by the grand scale of "Santu Lingxu".

Master Zhuiyun sighed, "Is such a large sum of money worth it?...

Everyone understood what he meant.

The martial arts world is uniquely blessed by humans, not by sea creatures.

The price paid for cultivating so many sea beasts comparable to the "Dao Fruit" and "Golden Body" realms must have been considerable.

And to pay such a high price.

All for the sake of invading a "Spirit Ruins" that was destined to be unattainable.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem worth it.

I share the same feeling.

If one can occupy the "Martial World," one can gradually recoup the investment over time. But if one cannot occupy it, then it's uncertain.

Just as everyone was thinking this.

The screen image changes again, as sea monsters either occupy or conquer cities, and begin to spread outwards.

A series of bright flags suddenly appeared.
