Demonic Demoness Training Project

"Oh, so do I have to crawl inside this mechanism? Is that okay?"

“According to normal workshop operating standards, what you are doing is of course against the rules, but if you want to apply the gel evenly and precisely to the body surface, this is the lowest cost method.”

"Should I take a shower before that?"

"What do you say?"

Just as a mold must be kept clean before use, Lu Li, using himself as a mold to create the painted skin, must also keep his body clean.

So Lu Li went to take a bath and change his clothes. When he came out of the bathhouse and looked at his snow-white body, he was slightly lost in thought.

After dismissing the female attendant, Lu Li put up his long black hair, took off his clothes again, adjusted the glue injection device, opened the valve, and then jumped inside.

buzz~

The space inside the glue-injection device was not large, about the height of a person, just enough to accommodate Lu Li's body. The scalding hot spirit glue was applied to the girl's tender face, instantly making him shudder.

"Humph!"

Lu Li groaned in pain and quickly circulated his spiritual energy, putting the Azure Netherworld Skin into a steel-like state to resist the high temperature from the outside. With the Azure Netherworld Skin protecting him from the heat, Lu Li sighed with relief:

"This step alone is enough to burn an ordinary person to death. If I didn't have the Azure Nether Skin, how could I have created it?"

In other words, it was precisely because he possessed the Azure Netherworld Skin that he was able to refine it.

Upon closer examination, Lu Li suddenly discovered that not only was the crafting process of the Azure Nether Painted Skin unique, but the causal cycle within it was also quite mysterious.

"However, if they were ordinary people without the ability to obtain loans, how would they have crafted the Azure Netherworld Skin?"

"Ordinary people can't refine this. To refine this puppet, one must first have sufficient physical cultivation skills, strengthen the skin with pills to resist high temperatures, and then use an injection device to inject glue."

"Is there anyone who can endure this intense heat and forcibly refine the Azure Nether Skin through sheer willpower?"

"This is not just a matter of perseverance. Even if you use anesthetic to make your whole body numb, this thing needs to be formed in one go. If you get a blister halfway through, it will affect the shaping of the Qingming Painted Skin, and everything will be in vain."

"hiss……"

The injection process was very slow. By the time the injection was completed, half an hour had passed. The spiritual energy within the Golden Spirit Core was almost depleted, and the steely state could no longer be maintained.

At this moment, Lu Li could clearly feel that he had an extra layer of skin on his body.

Lu Li clearly remembered that after he finished refining the Qi-Mixing Cauldron, he stuck the finished product to his chest. At that time, there were clearly two Qi-Mixing Cauldrons, but one of them disappeared out of thin air. This was the so-called "repayment of the loan".

"Hmm? Why didn't this skin disappear like last time?"

"You haven't finished yet. Your entire body needs to be covered with a painted skin before you can be considered finished. Right now, you can only be considered a half-finished product."

"Are there still areas that haven't been covered? Which area is missing...?"

Halfway through his sentence, Lu Li suddenly looked down at his brothers.

Oh—so this is the place.

So, Lu Li straightened the direction of the spray gun and aimed it at the spray gun.

Lu Li was suddenly relieved that there was still a little spiritual power left in the Qi-Mixing Cauldron. Once the spiritual power was used up, the Azure Netherworld Skin would not be able to maintain its steely state, nor would it be able to withstand the high temperature.

That was close... I almost ended up eating roast chicken.

Lu Li thought it through and then turned his attention to Elder Duan.

"Old man, are you deliberately cheating? If you had said so earlier, I would have had my brother inject the glue and put on the leather first."

"You didn't ask, so why are you blaming me?"

Duan Xuanyuan's verbal rebuttal was, in fact, intentional.

It was clear that Lu Li's spiritual power was just a little short. The Qingming Painted Skin had to be refined in one go. Once Lu Li's spiritual power was exhausted, he would have to face the scalding hot spiritual glue.

Because Lu Li has a layer of Azure Netherworld Skin on his body, even if he feels the high temperature, he will not get blisters and it will not affect the refining of the skin. But as for whether the flesh under the skin will be cooked... the answer is self-evident.

After a short while, seeing his brother also wearing his second new outfit, Lu Li nodded in satisfaction, feeling both lingering fear and pleasant surprise.

"Good! Just the right amount of spiritual energy, no more, no less!"

Meanwhile, Old Duan secretly sighed with regret.

One wrong move, and it was fate.

Perhaps, this child's life was not meant to end.

Lu Li rubbed her small hands together, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

"Strange, why are there still two layers of skin? Have I not completed the refining process yet?"

"you sure?"

"It's all covered. I even poured concrete on my scalp. Look, my scalp, skin, limbs, torso, and, um, my good brother..."

Old Duan pondered for a moment, then suddenly his sorrow turned to joy, and he let out three strange laughs, saying:

"Humans have seven orifices and nine acupoints, don't you want to think about it again?"

"Ear canals, eyelids, nostrils... I've even considered the tongue, so tell me where else... I won't punch you!"

Lu Li pondered carefully, comparing everything from top to bottom, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps. In an instant, Lu Li seemed to realize something, and his pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.

There is indeed a spot where there is skin, but it is not covered.

"It can't be there, can it?"

"Yes."

"what!"

"My dear disciple, the Azure Netherworld Skin needs to be formed in one go. Before the spirit glue dries completely, I advise you to hurry up."

Chapter 58 Stock Making?

"Let's skip that place."

"Absolutely not! You're paying off a loan. You can only pay more. Don't try to cheat or shortchange me."

Lu Li was almost in tears, his pretty face flushed red. He only regretted his lack of talent and inability to recite a poem... no, this time he could actually recite a poem—

A lean horse in the west wind along the valley path, a heartbroken traveler at the ends of the earth...

"That kind of place... how could it possibly need a mask for protection?"

“Hey, that’s not right of you, my disciple. Let me tell you a story. Listen carefully—don’t worry, it’s not long. You’ll have time to listen to me finish.”

Old Duan's voice carried a hint of mockery and a touch of etherealness.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, in that distant upstream land, the human and demon races fought a great war against the demon race for the mining rights of the Tianqing Sea. Xuan Gui Valley and Tian You Sect formed a marriage alliance, and the holy son and holy daughter of the two families united and gave birth to a son named Liu Si."

"Such a common name."

"Don't interrupt. In order to cultivate her offspring into the Dao Body of Returning to Nothingness, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Uranium Sect soaked Liu Si in the Uranium Water of Returning to Nothingness to temper his physical body."

"???"

Lu Li's vision went black.

You should know that Guixu Uranium is a fourth-grade spiritual material. To be able to bathe in Guixu Uranium water is too extravagant. Furthermore, if you throw your own son into Guixu Uranium water, is this son really your own?

"Don't be surprised. You can't imagine the wealth of the upstream sects. Secondly, Wuliangzun came from Tianyou Sect. Tianyou Sect has its own supreme artifact that can offset the harm of Wuliangjie."

"If one day you can obtain that secret method, you will naturally be able to cultivate the Dao Body of Returning to Nothingness, just like Liu Si."

"Well, let me continue. Liu Si was soaked in the Guixu Uranium Water all over his body except for his heels. After that, he used the Guixu Dao Body to fight on the battlefield and slaughtered millions of demons."

"But in one great battle, the Northern Darkness Demon Lord shot Liu Si in the heel with his Eight Directions Destruction Crossbow. A thousand-mile dike was destroyed by an ant hole, and a generation's pride perished on the spot! My disciple, tell me yourself, do you want to practice stock cultivation? Huh?"

Lu Li was about to retort, who would actually slap someone's butt? But then he thought about it again. Those cultivators were all very cunning. They would stop at nothing to become immortals and achieve enlightenment. If he really exposed his back to them, they would definitely attack his vitals.

Therefore, as Mr. Duan said, stock trading is very necessary.

He once resisted stock trading, but now he has no choice but to trade it, but no one told him that this is the stock he is supposed to trade!

Lu Li stood frozen in place, torn between his inner turmoil and his own thoughts, while Elder Duan leisurely chanted scriptures in his mind. Lu Li couldn't discern the origin of the scriptures, but he felt a strange sense of mystery about them.

"A sage among men is called a sage, and a sage among stocks is called a sage stock."

"To become an immortal, one must forge a flawless golden body. What is flawless? It means having a body without flaws, a spirit that does not leak out, being immune to all poisons, unmoved by all laws, and without any gaps between the inside and outside. This is called flawless."

“My disciple, every single one of these mechanical artifacts that I placed on you was carefully selected by your master. There is a reason for each one. Not one of them can be missing. Don’t always try to go against your master. Your master would never harm you.”

"When you achieve that supreme immortal physique one day, you'll understand how good your master is, hehehe..."

As Duan Lao spoke, Lu Li listened blankly. He couldn't help but shiver. Even though he was being careful, he had unknowingly fallen into the other party's scheme.

Every word the other person said was not only tempting, but also made a lot of sense.

Lu Li even had a slight illusion that this old woman was really a doting grandmother who loved her disciple and protected him. She was patient and persuasive, and both "Boundless Star Raft" and "Return to the Void Dao Body" were excellent stories that conveyed profound truths.

He was horrified to discover that not only was his body becoming strange, but even his thoughts were being subtly influenced by Elder Duan.

“My dear disciple, if you’re afraid of pain, then think more about your family, think about your sister. Didn’t you want to kill Ying Wange? With your current state, even if you cultivate for another hundred or a thousand years, even if you cultivate until you die, you still won’t be able to lay a finger on her.”

Lu Li knew this was a provocation, but he also knew that what Old Duan said was true.

After all, there was a hopelessly stupid guy who believed until his death that he could become a top-grade clamp master. Now that guy has been captured by an immortal and is waiting for him to rescue him.

He had no choice.

"Time is running out, my disciple. Have you made up your mind? Will you cultivate this technique or not?"

"I'll refine it!"

So, Lu Li tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, then bent over, grabbed the cold metal inner wall of the glue injection device, and used her divine sense to control the spray gun to aim at a blind hole on the target puppet.

With a muffled groan, the girl's eyes blazed like fire and knives.

He's crafting stocks; he's indeed crafting penny stocks.

squeak-

Just then, a soft creaking sound came from outside the glue dispensing machine, and two footsteps could be heard in the distance. One footstep was light and lively, skipping forward, while the other followed closely behind, walking quickly with small steps.

"Little Deer Pear!"

The girl's voice was as clear as a silver bell, but at this critical moment, it sounded like a knife to Lu Li's ears.

If the Mo family lady were to discover that he was using a glue-injecting device for cultivation and making pig-like noises while doing so, his image in her eyes, his lifelong reputation, his character and cultivation would surely be ruined.

Thinking of this, Lu Li covered his mouth, gritted his teeth, endured the burning pain, and tried his best not to make a sound.

Tap, tap, tap~

Mo Shuhan's footsteps grew closer and closer, finally stopping beside the glue injection machine. Lu Li could even feel that there was only a thin iron plate separating him from her.

"Huh? She doesn't seem to be here."

“Replying to Miss, I saw Miss Lu come in with my own eyes. She rented this glue dispensing machine, and then, and then…”

"And then what?"

"Then they told me to go outside and wait. I didn't think much of it at the time, since Miss Lu was Miss's friend."

"And then? Did you see her come out?"

"I've been waiting outside, so I don't think I saw her come out."

"Could you be seeing things?"

The female attendant hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly:

"I...I can't remember."

"Never mind, let's look somewhere else."

"Yes, ma'am."

After saying that, Mo Shuhan set off again. The sound of their footsteps gradually faded into the distance. Only then did Lu Li slowly loosen his tightly clasped hands. He breathed very softly, and fragrant sweat rolled down the strands of hair on his forehead.

Before Lu Li could breathe a sigh of relief, the light footsteps suddenly stopped, turned back, and approached again.

"Hey! I suddenly thought of a possibility, do you think Xiao Luli might be inside this puppet?"

Chapter 59 Long Pavilion Valley Road

“Miss, this glue dispensing machine seems to be running. Miss Lu shouldn’t be in here.”

"You have the key to this valve, right? Open it for me, and we'll see."
