Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.
When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...
Quezhai Sanren was very enthusiastic when he saw Chen Xiao Sanren. He had nothing to do today, so the group simply left the venue and walked towards the city.
Tong Nuonuo was still very excited. He used gestures to describe what happened today and how his friends helped him get revenge.
Quezhai Sanren looked at the three people in surprise and said, "So there is such a secret. Brother Xi's martial arts are quite profound. No one in the audience can tell that the tree was knocked down by you!" The amazement in his tone was not disguised at all.
A competition was going on when the accident happened. In order to avoid disturbing the mechanical engineers on the field, someone went to check it out immediately.
The tree fell without any warning, and there was no sign of decay before. There was no sign of insects, and there was no trace of magic left. It looked like it had fallen naturally.
Such a strange thing naturally attracted the attention of the people in the Dharma Assembly. After a careful investigation by a person who was proficient in spiritual plants, it was discovered that the soil under the tree was empty, which caused it to collapse suddenly. As for the unlucky people who were crushed, it can only be said that they were just unlucky.
The soil under the big tree was soft and hollowed out. The man had no clue what was going on and could only conclude that it was a natural loss.
At this moment, he suddenly learned from his disciple's friend that this was the method of an immortal cultivator, and he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.
Quezhai Sanren laughed as loudly as his disciple, and then invited several people to the place where the master and disciple were staying.
There were almost no mortals on the Mechanical Island, and even the lowest level cultivators here could gather Qi. The entire island was full of vitality, and almost all the people who came and went were engaged in careers related to the Mechanical Island.
The shops on the roadside are filled with all kinds of mechanical materials and parts. The people staying in the hotels are either mechanical engineers or cultivators who deal with mechanical engineers.
It was the first time for Chen Xiao to come to a place that focused on one field and had such a passionate and pure atmosphere.
He couldn't help but feel curious, it had been a long time since he had felt this kind of freshness in sightseeing. He and Tong Nonuo got together and walked along the way under Tong Nonuo's introduction.
The place where Quezhai Sanren and his companions lived was called Luoying Pavilion, which was a hotel complex consisting of many small courtyards.
Quezhai Sanren took them to check in and specifically asked for the courtyard adjacent to theirs.
Tong Nuonuo turned to Chen Xiao and said, "Come to our place first. I haven't asked you why you suddenly came to the Mechanical Island. Is there anything going on?"
Chen Xiao nodded gently, "Actually, we came here to look for the Master of Machinery. But we thought you should be here too, so we came to find you first."
"Oh?" This answer surprised Tong Nuonuo. "Why do you need to find a master of mechanisms? My master is a master of mechanisms."
Chen Xiao turned to Quezhai Sanren and said, "I have something I want to ask Senior Quezhai for help."
After entering Tong Nuonuo and their family's living room, the host and guest sat on chairs, and Chen Xiao told the master and his disciple what had happened.
Quezhai Sanren's eyes lit up. "You are very bold to use mechanical parts to replace the original limb tissue! Not only is the person who proposed this plan bold, but you, Chen Xiao, who dared to accept it, are also a person who is not bound by the world's ideas!"
Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting looked at each other, and he smiled and said, "Senior, you are too kind. We just want to know whether this plan is feasible. Before, it was just a theory. After all, we only know a little bit about mechanical engineering."
"You are too modest." Quezhai Sanren disagreed, "To be able to come up with such a plan, Brother Xi has a very profound knowledge and a deep understanding of mechanical devices. Only a great sect like Chongxuan Sect can have such a profound foundation. You are indeed the elite of the sect!"
Xi Yunting still had a normal expression on his face when facing Quezhai Sanren's praise. "I just like to read some leisure books on weekdays. I don't deserve such praise."
A few idle books! They can't be called idle books! They are obviously a collection of documents that describe mechanical devices in great detail.
The villain in Quezhai Sanren's heart silently pounded the ground and bit his handkerchief, jealous to the point of red eyes. This is the huge difference between the same person and the different fate, the great difference between the great immortal sect and the independent cultivator.
This time, Tong Nuonuo came back from his training and matured a lot, gained more knowledge and skills. What made Quezhai even happier was his great progress in mechanical engineering and the acquisition of a large number of precious materials.
Tong Nuonuo used to often get materials from his master. This time when he came back, he gave a lot of them to Quezhai Sanren, filling up Quezhai Sanren's small warehouse, which had been shrunken because of having such a studious disciple like Tong Nuonuo.
In addition to these material gains, Quezhai Sanren was even happier about Tong Nuonuo's expanded network of contacts. Not only did he become close friends with a Feng Shui master who had mastered a unique skill, and a spiritual plant master whose spiritual root talent was a single wood spiritual root, but he also had a good relationship with Xi Yunting, who had a deep background.
In the past, Quezhai Sanren was always worried about Tong Nuonuo, because he was too much of a homebody. He didn't have a single friend to talk to, and because he was so bad at finding directions, he couldn't even find a teammate to train with.
Cultivating immortals is not just about retreating in seclusion. Without connections, it is impossible to survive in this world of immortal cultivation where there are all kinds of people and there are more risks and crises than opportunities.
In order to correct Tong Nuonuo's somewhat eccentric personality, Quezhai Sanren had to harden his heart and drive him out. Even though he was seriously directionally challenged and even though he was despised by others, Tong Nuonuo had to learn how to survive in this world of immortal cultivation.
Fortunately, Tong Nonuo returned safely earlier than scheduled, and the results were so gratifying. Therefore, Quezhai Sanren loved Tong Nonuo's friends from the bottom of his heart.
This time they came to ask for help, and Quezhai Sanren also wanted to help them from the bottom of his heart.
However, the actual situation is more complicated than Chen Xiao and his friends thought, and not just any master of mechanisms can solve Chen Xiao's problem.
——At least Quezhai, the master of mechanisms, has no way to solve it.
Quezhai Sanren sighed and said, "I'm afraid I'm powerless to help you with this matter."
Chen Xiao and the others looked at Quezhai in confusion, and Chen Xiao hurriedly asked, "Senior, is there any inconvenience?"
Quezhai said to Chen Xiao seriously, "I want to help you with this matter, but unfortunately I am not good at puppet manufacturing, but I focus on mechanical weapons. Even if you ask me to help you build a top-level defensive mechanical Fulonggu, I think I can find a way to do it. Only puppet manufacturing is not my field."
"Ah?" Chen Xiao was extremely surprised. "But Nuonuo seems to know a lot about puppet mechanisms, and he even bought a master-level puppet by chance when we were at the market before. It was originally broken, but he was able to repair it so that he could operate it simply for combat."
Quezhai gave Tong Nonuo a cold look. Tong Nonuo touched his nose and laughed.
Quezhai explained to Chen Xiao, "Puppet manufacturing is an advanced direction of machinery, which includes many branches and is very complicated. For someone like me who has no talent, being able to specialize in one thing is already the limit. Nuonuo's understanding of puppets was not learned from me, but from his master of ceremonies, who is also a good friend of mine."
"My good friend is a master of mechanical devices, and is proficient in mechanical puppets and weapons." Quezhai's face was full of sighs, and he said in a tone of careless friendship: "If it weren't for his status as a master, I wouldn't have asked him to be the master of ceremonies for Nuonuo. Who knew that when he saw Nuonuo's extraordinary talent, he was moved by his desire to appreciate talent, so he gave Nuonuo a jade slip that recorded the production of puppets."
"I strongly disagree with this. Forcing Nuonuo to learn to fly before he even learns to walk! Not only will it distract Nuonuo's attention, it will also lead him astray." Quezhai said angrily, "Who knew that these two people didn't take what I said seriously! Nuonuo is still young and doesn't understand the key points. That guy, on the other hand, didn't take it to heart at all. He even said that with Nuonuo's talent, he didn't take him to be his disciple just out of friendship. I... I'm simply inviting a wolf into the house!"
"Haha." What else could Chen Xiao say?
He had invited the poacher himself, and he had also offered the young and innocent Tong Nuonuo to him. Quezhai's remorse and annoyance were evident.
Who makes the relationship between the officiant and the person holding the coming-of-age ceremony in this world so close that it is only slightly less close than the relationship between father and son, and master and apprentice?
After being angry, Quezhai Sanren came back to his senses, "What? You said that Nuonuo repaired a puppet doll before?"
Chen Xiao nodded affirmatively: "That's right. When Nono first got the doll, it was completely useless. It only took Nono a short period of time to repair the doll and make it usable. Nono even used it to fight a fierce battle with an evil cultivator."
"It seems to be true. You didn't tell your master anything at all, you are really tight-lipped!" Quezhai Sanren stared at Tong Nuonuo with a bad face, "Didn't I tell you before that you shouldn't spend time on puppets anymore? Now that he has escaped, his mind has become wild and he dares not listen to my words!"
Tong Nuonuo pointed at her finger guiltily, her eyes flickering as she said, "This is a rare opportunity, and I was so excited to see the prey. I just couldn't help myself..."
"Humph! You are so excited to see the prey that you can't help yourself!" Quezhai Sanren said angrily, "When you were at home, you didn't pretend to be obedient. Stop pretending to be a good boy here!"
Tong Nuonuo saw that Quezhai was really angry, so she didn't dare to say anything. Chen Xiao saw that he had accidentally let his friend down, so he gave him an apologetic look.
Tong Nuonuo winked at him quietly, signaling to him that it was okay, as it was not the first time he had committed the same mistake, nor was it the first time he had been scolded.
Quezhai Sanren didn't notice the little movements between the two. He thought for a while, and said to Tong Nuonuo in a serious tone: "Where is the puppet? Show it to me."
This was like cutting off Tong Nuonuo's flesh. He immediately protected the mechanism box behind him reflexively, jumped up and said in protest: "Master, you can't confiscate it! I promise I will never spend time and energy on it again!"
Quezhai Sanren frowned and said, "Do you think what you said is credible? Can you bear not to touch this thing in your hand? Not to think about it?"
No. Tong Nuonuo was frustrated.
He can't. Chen Xiao said with a similar heart.
Seeing his disciple wilting like an eggplant hit by frost, Quezhai Sanren felt a little reluctant and said, "Take it out first and let me see it. Whether to confiscate it or not depends on your performance at the Dharma Assembly this time."
Tong Nuonuo then reluctantly handed the doll to Quezhai Sanren.
Quezhai Sanren held it in his hand and studied it for about half an hour. The atmosphere was solemn during this time. Everyone present remained quiet and did not disturb him.
Finally, Quezhai raised his head, sighed, and said, "It seems that guy is right. Your talent can really control the jade slip at this time."
Tong Nuonuo's eyes lit up, "Master? What do you mean?"
Quezhai rolled his eyes at him, "It means that for now you should still focus on what I teach you. Puppet can be used as an advancement."
Tong Nuonuo said excitedly: "Is it really possible? Thank you, Master!"
Then he took another look at the puppet and said to Quezhai in a flattering manner: "Then can you give this puppet back to me?"
Quezhai said ruthlessly, "No!" After a pause, he said, "However, if you can advance to the master level this time, I will return it to you."
Tong Nuonuo immediately felt relieved. Judging from the competitions he had participated in these days, it would not be too difficult for him to advance to the master of mechanisms.
Quezhai turned to Chen Xiao and the other two and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. Nuonuo is too naughty and likes to lock himself up to study alone. Please bear with me when you train together in the future."
Chen Xiao said: "Senior, you are too kind. Nuonuo is my important companion. He is very brave in battle and smart. We are very happy when we are together with him."
Quezhai smiled slightly and nodded slowly: "I don't think there is any need to go far to solve your problem. As for replacing your arm, Nuonuo's current level is enough to do it."
After many twists and turns, this matter actually fell on the head of an acquaintance. Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel it was very strange.
Tong Nuonuo was surprised and delighted, "Can I do that with my level?"
Quezhai said affirmatively: "As a master of machinery, I will not make a mistake in this judgment, as long as you trust Nuonuo's skills."
Chen Xiao said decisively: "I believe in Nuonuo!"
So far, Tong Nuonuo has always impressed him and never let him down when it comes to matters concerning the agency.
