Demonic Demoness Training Project

"Oh—right, I remember now, something broke, but I didn't really notice."

Lu Li knew that this place was not a good place to stay. He searched through the chest cavity of the Five Ghost War Puppet's remains and found a Yu Dao Yanqi.

This Yu Dao puppet is extremely large, almost occupying most of the puppet's chest cavity, and its shape is that of a pentagonal box.

Using the Spirit Map Instrument, Lu Li activated the artifact, from which five mutilated corpses, along with some components and spirit stones, fell out.

The components appeared to be part of the Five Ghosts War Puppet set, intended for replacement and repair. However, there were only a mere hundred spirit stones, which greatly disappointed Lu Li.

"Wow, so poor? Is this really a Spirit Pivot Realm cultivator?"

"Assassins like these, living a life of constant bloodshed, what assassin would risk their life on them?"

"That's true, after all, they're not those pampered sect elders."

Lu Li's casual remark offended Duan Xuanyuan. She wanted to curse him, but she didn't want to reveal that she had once been an elder of Qingyang Palace.

Lu Li looked around and found that the only thing of value left was the remains of the puppet under his feet. He could probably sell it for fifty or sixty thousand spirit stones by dismantling and melting it down.

Lu Li picked them up one by one and activated his Ice Soul Spirit Eye. The internal traces of the entire wreckage were instantly reflected in his sea of ​​consciousness. There was a tracking puppet on each of his hands, feet and torso. Lu Li removed and destroyed them one by one and threw the remaining wreckage into his storage bag.

“This time it was just an assassin, but next time it might be the Dharma King himself. This guy has gone too far. I didn’t want to break ties with the Tongxian Sect at this time.”

"Yes, after all, you don't know what level that Dharma King belongs to. It's not advisable to stay here any longer. You should leave quickly."

Subsequently, Lu Li set off overnight, urging the Three Thousand Cloud Threads to leave Chizi City and head straight for the Boundless Realm of Chizi.

Lu Li originally intended to use this opportunity to evade the Dharma King's pursuit, but when he entered this realm, he was shocked to find that the concentration of the Boundless Calamity here was outrageously low. Except for some special areas, the concentration of the Boundless Calamity in most areas was completely incomparable to that of the Yu Zhe Boundless Realm.

"Can such a short time really stop the Dharma King's progress?"

"What do you say?"

"Probably not."

Lu Li found a secluded cave, set up a protective array outside, and then began his seclusion.

Having pure white yttrium on your person is a disaster; it's better to use it up quickly and convert it into your own combat power.

Originally intended only for refining the Ice Soul Spirit Eye, but the pure white yttrium possesses the property of extreme cold superconductivity, which can greatly improve the operating speed of the magic array. Therefore, Lu Li plans to update all the magical artifacts on his body that involve the conduction of spiritual power.

Chapter 229 A Winding Path Leads to a Secluded Spot

"The pure white yttrium was not originally manifested in the future body, so I am modifying and upgrading my original body this time. Once completed, this improvement will also affect the future body."

The fourth-grade pure white yttrium in Lu Li's hand weighs three jin, six liang, and two qian. Aside from what's needed to refine the Ice Soul Spirit Eye, the rest is more than enough to renovate all the guiding copper on his body.

After the renovation was completed, Lu Li tried to activate his spiritual power and felt no discomfort.

Then, he activated the freeze machine, allowing the power of extreme cold to spread throughout all the meridians of his body. As his body temperature decreased, the effect of mutating into pure white yttrium gradually appeared, and the speed of spiritual energy circulation instantly increased by more than ten times.

Ten times, that's a terrifying number. It means that when Lu Li uses his supernatural power, if the power originally required three breaths to activate, it can now be activated almost instantly.

Similarly, when Lu Li breathes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he can also benefit from it. However, the pure white yttrium only speeds up the circulation of his spiritual energy, and is limited by the speed at which he absorbs spiritual energy, so it is difficult to reach more than ten times the speed.

Ultimately, the speed was estimated to be only three times faster than that of cultivators at the same level.

After the Qi-Gathering Cauldron entered the Zhou Tian state, his speed of absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was already slightly faster than that of ordinary cultivators. In the future, if he possesses an even faster breathing method, or a magical artifact to assist in absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, this speed can certainly be further increased.

However, the greatest benefit of this modification to Lu Li is not the circulation of spiritual energy, but the performance enhancement of the Great Dream Pivot.

With the properties of extreme cold superconductivity, the operation of the Great Dream Pivot has accelerated further, and there is even a faint tendency to break through to the fourth revolution.

As his head was enveloped by the power of extreme cold, Lu Li felt his mind become calmer and his thoughts clearer, and his deduction speed increased even further. At this moment, a halo of wisdom even flickered in his clear, water-like icy spiritual eyes!

"If the spiritual energy flows too fast within the guiding copper, it will cause the copper to heat up. Therefore, people say that cultivation is a slow and steady process. If too much spiritual energy is poured in at once and too fast, the body will explode and the person will die."

"But when I used this white yttrium, I actually reached ten times the original speed, which is unbelievable, and I didn't feel it at all."

Old Duan smiled faintly and said:

"Guess why it's called extreme cold superconductivity?"

"Oh, right."

"Of course, doing this is not without its costs."

“I know that.”

Lu Li nodded slightly, because the pure white yttrium could only accelerate the conduction of spiritual energy in an extremely cold state, and to maintain this state, the permafrost machine needed to be run continuously, which in turn consumed spiritual energy.

Therefore, he cannot maintain this state indefinitely and will only use it when necessary.

Or rather, Lu Li doesn't keep his whole body in a state of extreme cold all the time, because there's absolutely no need for that. Instead, he puts certain parts of his body into a state of extreme cold.

For example, if Lu Li is going to deduce the puppet next, he will activate the permanent freezing machine to cool down the Great Dream Profound Pivot, making its operation speed faster.

Duan Xuanyuan was unusually talkative today, and her tone was particularly smug. She continued, "..."

“For other puppets, it might be difficult to complete this step, because some puppets have temperature requirements for operation. For example, some flame puppets need to operate in extremely cold conditions, and the two conflict.”

“But my blood source pump is also a Flame Dao artifact, and it contains a Fire Spirit Core.”

"That's why I said you're different. Qingling Female Puppet belongs to the Ice Path puppetry, but her internal organs contain all five elements. When I was deducing and completing this puppetry diagram, I took into account that this puppetry mainly cultivates the Ice Path. Even when refining a Flame Path puppetry like the Blood Source Pump, I made special modifications to make it completely compatible with Ice Path divine abilities."

"This is more like a lucky accident... It just so happens to coincide with the extremely cold conditions required for the operation of pure white yttrium."

"What do you mean by accident? This is clearly my premonition!"

"Yes, yes, yes, prophetic, prophetic."

Lu Li had long since figured out Duan Lao's temperament; this guy liked to take all the credit and ultimately attribute it to himself.

What else can we do but comply? Instead of wasting time arguing, we should try to trick this old man into giving us more gold coins.

It took ten days to switch to the pure white yttrium. As the saying goes, sharpening the axe doesn't delay the work of chopping wood. The pure white yttrium provided a particularly great boost to the Great Dream Profound Pivot. The huge increase in deduction power provided Lu Li with great convenience in refining the Ice Soul Spirit Eye.

In less than ten days, Lu Li had refined the Ice Soul Spirit Eye.

The transformation from the third stage to pure white yttrium, and then to the fourth stage, does seem to have brought about some changes, bringing it one step closer to the legendary divine power.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Li took out a new round of loans.

As Mr. Duan said last time, after many days, given Lu Li's good credit, the loan limit was raised again, becoming two loans with three transfers.

One of them, named "The Winding Path to the Secluded Place," corresponds to all the organs that govern digestion, from top to bottom: the mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, large intestine, and small intestine.

According to Duan, she viewed this part as a whole and believed there was no need to further break it down into smaller pieces.

So this is what they mean by "winding path leading to a secluded spot"? Lu Li thought it was something else entirely.

As for the other item, it was the [Enchanting Voice Box] that Lu Li was already familiar with. Its function was to imitate various voices and it could be used in conjunction with specific techniques.

According to Duan Lao's account back then, Lu Li's body was full of yang energy, and his voice had not yet become as ethereal and melodious as it is now. The Enchanting Sound Box could make his voice more beautiful.

"So, what's the use of this thing?"

"You're being too simplistic. If it's just for swindling and cheating, that's only one aspect. There's a little story behind this Enchanting Sound Box. There was a time in the cultivation world when Sound Locks were very popular."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li blinked her big eyes, subconsciously squeezed her legs together, and her nostrils flared slightly.

"Oh? Audio channel lock, is that the audio channel lock I'm thinking of?"

"What are you thinking? I'm referring to the sound lock at the entrance of the cave. It needs to be unlocked by sound. It's usually used in conjunction with the face lock. Only when the face and voice are both correct can the cave be opened."

"These two locks have remarkable identification capabilities. While a cultivator's naked eye and ear can hardly distinguish between a disguise or a voice imitation, these two locks can identify the difference between the original owner and the imitator."

Lu Li nodded, he understood this all too well.

Using mortal cosmetic powder to disguise oneself, low-level cultivators can often not see the difference with the naked eye, but high-level cultivators can easily spot the trick.

Because high-level cultivators often have means of investigation, such as possessing modified pupils, they can use detection-type pupil techniques, making it difficult for mortal disguise methods to be effective.

Chapter 230 Time is running out, my disciple.

"Back then, there was a remarkable person known as the Myriad Transformations Thief Saint. He specialized in stealing people's cave dwellings. Even though there were sound locks and face locks, the cave dwellings were inexplicably looted."

At this point, Duan Xuanyuan paused, then continued to explain.

"At first, everyone was puzzled. It turned out that he had the Unseen Face and the Enchanting Sound Box. The Unseen Face had cracked the Face Lock, and the Enchanting Sound Box had cracked the Sound Channel Lock."

"Hmm, but these two types of locks haven't been around for years."

"Guess why it's gone? It's because that guy beat them back. That's how the advancement of mechanical artifacts always is. The sound lock and the face lock were restrained. There's always something better. Both schools of thought kept updating and iterating, but in the end, they still couldn't defeat the lineage of the Myriad Transformations Thief Saint. In the end, they returned to simplicity. To prevent theft, cultivators directly reverted to the most primitive restrictions."

"Nobody uses these two types of locks anymore, so what's the point of them except to scam people?"

"Are you stupid? Although those cultivators don't use them anymore, many ancient secret realms in that era still used face locks and sound locks. You'll come in handy then. Let me tell you, I went to great lengths to get the blueprints for these two artifacts, and it even involved the legacy of that Myriad Transformations Thief Saint. You'll understand later."

"Stealing, isn't that a crooked and unorthodox practice? How can that establish a lineage?"

"Why not? There's a saying I don't know if you've heard it before."

"What?"

"Anything that rises to the level of the laws of heaven and earth is not weak and can become a lineage of its own."

"Well……"

Lu Li pondered for a moment. He had never heard Duan Xuanyuan say that, but he had heard similar statements.

"Two major schools of thought have emerged from the Myriad Transformations lineage. One is the Universe Daoist Divine Power, which allows one to take people and property from a distance as easily as taking something from a bag. The other is the Transformation Dao, which focuses on imitation—"

"Imitation? Imitating the voice and the face?"

Lu Li thought for a moment, "If I just imitate these two, won't I be killed by a cultivator with a strong power in a few punches?"

"Hey, including but not limited to this, guess why he wasn't killed for stealing? Because his own combat strength is also extremely impressive."

If someone steals spirit ore, Lu Li will definitely take it back; but if someone steals the Ten Thousand Stone Steel Scroll forged from spirit ore with their bare hands, then the Ten Thousand Stone Steel Scroll is theirs.

If someone can simply carry the Star Raft away with their bare hands, that's not stealing, that's robbery.

At this moment, Duan Xuanyuan continued leisurely:

"The ever-changing Thief Saint sees all beings as his own image, and transforms others into his own path."

"The Thousand-Transformation True Man can briefly imitate the supernatural powers of others."

"The ever-changing immortal master possesses an aura that is identical to his own, a perfect replica."

"The Ten Transformations Taoist can disguise himself as others in terms of voice and appearance."

"Finally, there are the unchanging disciples, oh, no need to mention them."

After a moment's thought, Lu Li realized that given his current situation, he possessed both the "Never Met" and "Enchanting Sound Box," which allowed him to imitate other people's faces and voices, but he couldn't imitate their aura for the time being. He was probably still at the level of the Ten Transformations Daoist. Fortunately, he had an Unchanging Disciple below him.

"So what if you don't become a disciple? Why don't you say anything about it anymore?"

"Is there any need to say more? They're called 'Unchanging Disciples,' so of course they'll learn without even having to learn."

"That's the same as being an ordinary person."

"Correct."

"..."

"Don't be discouraged. After all, you mainly cultivate the Ice Dao and the Return to the Void Dao, not the Transformation Dao. In the future, your master will take you to dig up the grave of the Myriad Transformation Thief Saint."

At this point, Duan Xuanyuan couldn't help but recall the past.

When she first acquired her new body, she also wanted to accumulate experience for a few years before going to dig up tombs. Ancient tombs were extremely dangerous, and at that time she didn't have enough experience or strength to do so.

"As for the Myriad Transformations Thief Saint, let's talk about that after I kill Ying Wange."

"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, when are you going to pay back the new puppet you just borrowed, my disciple?"

"Why are you rushing me? The way you look at me makes me feel like you really want me to become like that."

"This is a major event in your life. How could I, as your mentor, not be looking forward to it?"

"I haven't prepared the spiritual materials yet. After I refine the Blessing Return to the Void Seal this time, I will go to the Chamber of Commerce to collect a set of spiritual materials and refine these two items."

"Indeed, my disciple. Cherish these last moments, for the next loan will be from the Taiyin Mansion."

When these artifacts are replaced, they include the corresponding organs or glands. For example, the Ice Soul Eye not only replaces the eyeballs but also the tear glands. Similarly, the Qi-Comb replaces the lungs but also includes the trachea.

Now, looking at his entire body, Lu Li has replaced everything with mechanical artifacts, except for the remains of the ancient beast.

Knowing that his time was running out, Lu Li immediately set off for the void space.

Like the Boundless Realm of Yu Zhe, the central area of ​​the Boundless Realm of Chi Zi was also blasted into a void space, where the Blessing Return to the Void Seal is the least likely to be discovered.

Only a very small portion of the noise from the explosion will travel beyond the void.
