Chapter 467 Successful Physical Reconstruction
The demons and monsters all lowered their heads and retreated, looking at each other, none daring to advance.
"If you harbor the same thoughts you had just now, that's what will happen to you!"
After saying that, Lu Qing put away the Nine Nether Lotus Flame and turned to float away.
After a while, she stopped, frowned, and said sternly:
"come out!"
Behind the big tree, a flower fairy cautiously emerged.
"Qing... Boss Qing!"
Lu Qing: "What? You also want to test the power of the Nine Nether Lotus Flame?"
"No, no, no!" The flower fairy waved her hands repeatedly.
"Boss Qing, you've misunderstood. I wouldn't dare to fight you!"
"Then why are you following me?" Lu Qing asked.
The flower fairy lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:
"I...I wanted to thank you!"
"Thank me? Thank me for what?" Lu Qing asked, puzzled.
"Thank you for killing that rat demon. It...it had been bullying me for a long time!"
The flower fairy couldn't help but shed tears.
Lu Qing frowned slightly.
Although the demons and monsters in Yutai Mountain are under control, it's impossible for Master and Mistress to watch over them all the time.
Therefore, it is normal for these demons and monsters to occasionally fight and bully each other.
The flower fairy is weak and not as clever or ruthless as the rat fairy, so it's not surprising that she gets bullied.
"You don't need to thank me. I killed it purely because it wanted to die, not for you."
Flower Fairy: "But since you killed it, I should thank you."
"Little flower fairy, there's something I have to tell you that might not be pleasant to hear."
The real reason you get bullied isn't because the rat demon is evil, but because you're afraid to fight back. Even if the rat demon is gone, other demons will bully you. Only by becoming strong can you protect yourself.
"You're quite strong, just a bit cowardly. If you were willing to risk everything and fight to the death, that rat demon wouldn't be a match for you."
Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, the flower demon lowered her head even further.
"I...I know, so I've decided to leave Yutai Mountain!"
Lu Qing raised an eyebrow: "You can leave Yutai Mountain?"
The flower fairy nodded: "I am not an evil demon sealed here. I was born in the mountains and took shape by cultivating with the spiritual energy of the Taoist temple."
Some time ago, a butterfly demon collected my pollen and landed on a sacred mountain. In the mountain lived a human-bodied, dragon-headed deity, a great demon who had cultivated for ten thousand years.
"With a body that's half demon and half immortal, and the spiritual energy of the immortal mountain even more abundant, I can cultivate there and quickly become stronger."
Lu Qing's eyes flickered slightly:
"Where is that fairy mountain you just mentioned?"
"It should be on the coast of Canglin Sea, in the eastern mountains."
A hint of joy flashed in Lu Qing's eyes.
She was looking for this human-bodied, dragon-headed deity to obtain the demon's core and save Liu Manyun.
This was one of the ancient demons that the Nine-Tailed Fox Fairy searched for last time. It was also the easiest to deal with, but its hiding place was unknown.
Lu Qing originally planned to slowly search after reshaping his physical body, but who would have thought that before he could even doze off, a pillow would be delivered to him.
Seeing Lu Qing laughing so happily, the flower fairy shrank back:
"Qing, what's wrong?"
Lu Qing: "It's nothing, thank you for the pillow, goodbye!"
Flower Fairy: "??"
Pillow?
What kind of pillow?
While he was pondering, Lu Qing had already left.
After wandering around the mountains, Lu Qing returned to the Taoist temple.
The next morning, everyone got up and continued their work.
The lotus root juice, which had settled overnight, had separated into layers. After pouring off the water on top, Feng Yuan added fresh water and stirred it.
"Master's wife, why did you add water again?" Gu Xicheng asked, puzzled.
Feng Yuan: "After settling a few more times, the lotus root starch will be white, and the meat will also be white and tender."
The words "fair and tender" reached Gu Xicheng's ears, sparking his imagination and causing a blush to rise on his face.
"Master's wife, let me do it!"
Gu Xicheng diligently fetched spring water and poured it into the large vat.
As he watched the lotus root starch become increasingly white with each settling process, a fiery glint flashed in his eyes.
Lu Qing heard Gu Xicheng's heart pounding like thunder through the talisman and couldn't help but find it amusing.
Finally, after two days and two nights, the lotus root starch was completely washed clean.
Next, the lotus root starch is poured out, dried in the sun, and then some spiritual herbs and medicines are added to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Three days later, everything was finally ready, except for the final push.
Dissolve lotus root starch in a little hot water, then pour in boiling water. It will quickly solidify into a transparent, gel-like substance.
The next step is to finalize the shape.
This body not only had to be exactly the same as Lu Qing's original appearance, but even the internal organs had to be removed.
This is not a job that an ordinary person can do.
To this end, Gu Xicheng crammed on some knowledge of human anatomy and sculpture.
It took a whole week to finally create all the body's various structures and then assemble them together.
He knew Lu Qing's body better than anyone else; he could perfectly replicate the dimensions of every part of her body and the location of her moles.
There's only one difference.
At Lu Qing's insistence, Gu Xicheng had no choice but to increase her height by five centimeters.
After Gu Xicheng finished carving, he specially dressed the lotus root starch meat in clothes.
"Alright! You can go in now!"
Lu Qing's soul floated out of the talisman and went inside.
Gu Xicheng moved his physical body to the courtyard, to the center of the array set up by Yu Hengzi.
The senior disciples sat cross-legged around the formation and began casting spells.
Before long, the courtyard was filled with golden light.
Gu Xicheng watched nervously.
Six hours later, when it was already dawn, the fellow disciples finally stopped casting their spells.
When the golden light disappeared, the transparent lotus root powder transformed into a human form.
Lu Qing slowly opened her eyes, stood up, and stretched her body.
"Qingqing, how are you feeling?" Gu Xicheng asked hurriedly.
Lu Qing walked up to him, raised her small, palm-sized face, and smiled:
"Great! I'm taller than before, I'm no longer a little potato!"
Gu Xicheng chuckled, then hugged Lu Qing tightly.
Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Qing stepped out of Gu Xicheng's arms and then rushed over to hug Yu Hengzi and Feng Yuan:
"Master, Mistress, and fellow disciples, thank you!"
"Silly child, why are you thanking us?"
"If you're going to be so polite, then don't bother eating the food in the kitchen!" the third senior brother teased.
Lu Qing's eyes lit up:
Did you leave me some food?
"The pot in the kitchen is hot. The sweet lotus root with osmanthus is in a small pot. Remember to heat it up before you eat it."
"knew!"
Lu Qing responded and then eagerly ran to the kitchen to fill her stomach.
Gu Xicheng followed, while the others went back to their rooms to rest.
After so many busy days, they were indeed exhausted.
Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing stayed at Yutai Mountain for another half month, until Lu Qing's body and soul were completely integrated before returning to Kyoto.
Everyone was overjoyed to learn that Lu Qing had successfully reshaped his physical body.
The Gu and Chu families even held a special banquet to celebrate.
However, Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng's mission is not completely over yet.
The first step is to find the ten-thousand-year-old demon core and eliminate the backlash power in Liu Manyun's body.
Secondly, Xi Yao, the reincarnation of Zhao Jin, has already been born, and she needs to control the Pure Profound Pearl to purify the malevolent energy in the Heavenly Heart Bottle.
The second thing isn't urgent; the first thing is urgent.
Liu Manyun's health deteriorated day by day, and even the Poison Dragon Inner Core could no longer suppress it.
Therefore, Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing decided to first investigate the nature of that human-bodied, dragon-headed god.
