The summer night sky is like a book; when you open it, you'll find countless stars and a dazzling Milky Way.
Under the starry sky, in the small courtyard.
Old Fang sat in a recliner, his legs crossed and swaying back and forth.
He held a palm-leaf fan in his hand to swat away mosquitoes.
Suddenly, the wind stopped, the insects stopped chirping, and the temperature dropped.
Old Fang opened his eyes. "I knew it was you. Do you have any wine?"
Xuan Tu tossed him a bottle of wine, and he opened one for himself and took a swig.
Old Fang opened the bottle, first bringing it close to the opening and inhaling it with relish, before taking a small sip.
"You've been coming to see me quite often lately. Is there something wrong with your relationship that you want to ask me for advice?"
"Don't be shy, just tell me, and I'll give you some advice."
Xuan Tu ignored his teasing and said, "I went to the Heavenly Book City."
Old Fang immediately stopped swaying and straightened up. "What did it ask you?"
The "it" he was referring to was the celestial book.
A giant book, 2.3 meters tall, came to be imbued with spirit and gained sentience.
He claims to know everything from astronomy to geography, and that he can predict the future, making him omniscient and omnipotent.
Therefore, he called himself "Heavenly Book".
Since it became a spirit, it has been able to answer any question asked to it.
It has not overturned yet.
As a result, its fame grew and spread, attracting more and more people to come and ask it questions.
With a large population, needs arise in all aspects, such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, and basic necessities.
Heavenly Book City was thus born.
The Heavenly Book answers people's questions according to two rules.
First, one can only ask a person one question in their lifetime.
Secondly, it will ask the inquirer for something based on the question asked.
Whether it's hair, tears, or kindness...
The things they ask for are all sorts of strange and unusual, and no one can figure out their methods.
If you can give it what it wants, it will answer your question.
If you can't provide it, don't expect it to pay any attention to you.
Upon hearing Xuan Tu's words, Lao Fang immediately guessed what he was going to do.
Hence this question.
Xuan Tu: "I already know how to separate a person's soul from their body, so I'm asking how to create a body."
Although superpowers are prevalent in the post-apocalyptic world, the level of technology is not low either.
Cloning a body is a very simple thing.
But cloning a body also requires a genetic sample first.
The body that Xuan Tu wanted to create was for Xin Sui, and there was no sample available.
He didn't want to use other people or any random creatures to piece together a body for her.
Therefore, creating a body that can resonate with Xin Sui's soul out of thin air is extremely difficult.
He consulted numerous books and materials, but still couldn't find a feasible solution.
The only option is to consult the mysterious book and ask questions.
"It tells me to bring the body's owner to see it in the future, so it can ask her a question."
Old Fang: "How strange! Is there anything the Heavenly Book doesn't know? Why do you need to ask your little Li girl?"
"I always felt that your little Lily was something special."
Xuan Tu thought of all the things he had seen in Xin Sui's memories and realized that she was certainly not simple.
If she were simple, how could all sorts of magical things keep appearing on her body?
If she is simple, why can't he access the key information in her memory?
She harbors too many secrets.
But it doesn't matter, once she becomes his, her secrets will be irrelevant.
Old Fang asked, "What did it say?"
Xuan Tu: "It requires the collection of 49 materials—doll flowers, mermaid pearls, black dragon blood, and heavenly demon bones—and then it is refined using a specific method."
Old Fang was speechless.
"Goodness, none of these things are easy to get your hands on, and some of them I've never even heard of before."
"Is this the creation of man? I feel like even the creation of gods is no more than this."
Xuan Tu, however, did not find it troublesome at all; on the contrary, he felt an indescribable excitement and anticipation.
I eagerly await the moment when Xin Sui's body will be created.
"I've already made progress on the Doll Flower, the Mermaid Pearl, and the Black Dragon Blood. Have you heard of the Heavenly Demon Bone?"
Old Fang began searching his memory.
There's nothing we can do; as people live longer, they tend to forget many things in a short time.
"The Heavenly Demon Gu... I do know about the Heavenly Demon; I've seen it in Buddhist scriptures before. Do you know what those Buddhist scriptures are?"
Xuan Tu hummed in agreement.
"You know it's fine, so I don't have to go through the trouble of explaining it to you."
"The term 'Heavenly Demon' comes from Buddhist scriptures and is an abbreviation for 'Heavenly Demon,' referring to one of the heavenly lords who govern the Desire Realm."
"Going astray in cultivation, this 'demonic' refers to the Heavenly Demon."
"Of course, you can also see Him as a devil who leads people astray."
He took a sip of his drink. "The Heavenly Demon Gu, could it be a kind of Gu that gradually turns people into demons?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Tu suddenly realized that the Heavenly Demon Gu he was talking about was not the same thing he was referring to.
"The Heavenly Demon Bone, the bone of the bone, is not a Gu worm."
Old Fang suddenly realized: "Oh, so it's the Heavenly Demon Bone. I misheard. Could it be referring to the bones of the Heavenly Demon?"
"The Heavenly Demon is just a fictional creation; where can we find its bones?"
Xuan Tu looked at him without saying a word.
Old Fang was confused, but then he suddenly realized what the man's eyes meant.
He shook his head hastily: "No way. A person can only ask one question to the Heavenly Book in their lifetime. You want me to ask this? I won't do it."
Xuan Tu: "I remember you said you wanted to replace the operating table in the basement, but you didn't have the money. How about I build one for you myself?"
Old Fang: "You think you can use up my once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on just one operating table?"
