Chapter 294: The road to cultivation is opened... and cut off
In the living room on the first floor of No. 66 Wutong Road, four Irenes sat neatly in a row on the coffee table. Among them, Irene Pro max 66.6cm sat closest to the edge of the coffee table, staring at Yu Sheng and Xuan Che who were sitting on the sofa opposite.
The fox next to him was combing his tail leisurely, looking like he was enjoying a show.
"Let me confirm this first," Xuan Che finally spoke after a long silence, pointing at the doll on the coffee table, "You just said that this girl... is a doll from Alice's House?"
"Yes," Yu Sheng nodded, "There are complicated reasons why she became what she is now... The bodies you see now are all 'temporary containers' I made for her. I don't know where her original body went."
"Oh," Xuan Che nodded repeatedly as he suddenly understood what was going on. "Just now I thought it was smashed into pieces, and then something went wrong when it was rebuilding its shell, so it had to be split into four pieces..."
Yu Sheng and Irene were stunned on the spot. Even the fox combing its fur nearby pricked up its ears. All three of them looked at the handsome young man on the sofa. The next second, Pro Irene soared into the air, chirping like a bird: "You only broke four petals..."
Yu Sheng pushed the doll back on the spot and turned to explain to Xuan Che: "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it. She is a violent person... Loosen her mouth! Loosen! Don't bite!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Xuan Che also realized what was happening and quickly bowed his hands to apologize. "I was just curious for a long time, why these girls are so...small, after all, I've seen Alice dolls in my early years, and they weren't like this. After thinking about it, I came up with this reason...I'm so abrupt, so abrupt."
"Don't be so polite to her, she's just pushing you too far," Yu Sheng said helplessly to the overly polite young talent beside him while holding down Pro Irene who was still showing her teeth and claws, "Let's talk about business first - for some reason, one of Irene's bodies now needs 'spiritual power' to move, but normally her 'charging' speed is very problematic. I was wondering if you at Qianfeng Lingshan have any solution in this regard."
Xuan Che listened attentively, but could not help but frowning slightly: "But the living puppets are a race blessed by the ancient holy spirits. The magic they use is very different from the 'cultivation' of Taixu Lingshu. If we mix them rashly, I'm afraid something will go wrong, right? In the end... how did this Miss Irene use 'spiritual power' in her body?"
"This is related to the nine-tailed fox in front of you," Yu Sheng said awkwardly, pointing at the fox girl who was combing her second tail. "Of course, there is also a bit of my personal research spirit mixed in..."
Then he briefly told Xuan Che about Pro's situation and mentioned the matter of "Spirit Fox Black Iron".
Xuan Che basically maintained an expression of "What were you talking about? What are you talking about now? What did you say just now?!" throughout the whole process. In the end, the look on his face really lived up to his name - highlighting the word "clear".
This disciple of Qianfeng Lingshan, who is considered a young talent in the entire Taixu Lingshu, has practiced for a hundred years, and he has never heard of anyone being so absurd! Metals from another world with unknown principles, unknown properties, and parameters that have not been tested, ancient alchemy that came from nowhere, rocks and soil found in foreign lands, mixed with the blood of this "expert" who is not even sure if he is a living thing, and made a human form with a few tricks, and dared to shape a golden body and transfer the soul into the body! ?
As a result, these smart and wise masters in front of him actually succeeded? And looking at the row of puppets on the coffee table, they succeeded at least four times in various ways! Xuan Che was a little confused for a moment. If he could really refine his physical body in this way, then what would the scolding he received for remembering the wrong pill formula, the kneeling punishment for getting the time wrong, and the beatings he received for missing the pill fire in the past hundred years count for? ! However, despite his feelings, he quickly sobered up. After Yu Sheng finished speaking, he thought carefully and spoke cautiously: "Can I take a look at what the 'Spirit Fox Black Iron' you mentioned looks like? It will also help me judge whether this thing conflicts with my Taixu Lingshu practice method."
"No problem," Yu Sheng immediately patted a fox tail beside his leg, "Take out a small piece and show it to him."
"Okay!" Hu Li nodded happily, and then he rummaged through his tail and took out a small piece of iron left over from casting the skeleton for Irene and placed it on the coffee table, "This is it."
Xuan Che was obviously stunned when he saw Hu Li taking something out of his tail, but in just a moment, his eyes were attracted by the unremarkable-looking piece of iron on the coffee table.
"This thing..." He stared, hesitated for a moment before reaching out to pick up the piece of "black iron", placed it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time before he stretched out a finger and lightly touched its surface.
The next second, a subtle but pleasant buzzing sound came from the iron block, and translucent waves rippled in the air, layer upon layer, lasting for a long time.
Yu Sheng didn’t understand it, but he thought it was pretty cool.
"Wonderful, wonderful! It's not refined, it's not enlightened, it's just a rough piece, but it can be so transparent!? I have never seen such a thing before. It looks like an ordinary object, but what is the structure of its subtle details?"
Xuan Che suddenly raised his head and looked at Hu Li and Yu Sheng with shining eyes.
"The main component is iron. As for why it has some strange properties, the people at the Secret Service haven't figured it out yet," Yu Sheng shook his head. "Hu Li himself doesn't know."
He paused, and seeing the expression on Xuan Che's face, he added, "If you want, I can give you this scrap—if Hu Li has no objection. But if you want a larger piece, you'll have to wait in line. The Secret Service has placed an order."
Xuan Che's expression suddenly looked a little embarrassed, and he quickly put the piece of iron on the table: "You are joking, it seems that I don't know etiquette... Let's go and see Miss Irene's situation first."
As he spoke, he took out a small jade token from his pocket and handed it to the little doll sitting on the edge of the coffee table, explaining: "According to my measurement just now, this 'black iron' does not conflict with the practice of Taixu Lingshu. On the contrary, it is quite suitable. But whether this doll girl can use our practice... depends on the individual. This jade token is a basic spiritual treasure. It has some effect of attracting spiritual energy and nourishing the mind. Take it in your hand first."
The little doll took the jade token with some doubt. In the hands of ordinary people, the jade token would only take up a palm, but she had to hold it with her whole hand: "Ah, then what?"
"Then you should be able to feel a slight warmth spreading from your palms to your heart..."
Irene: “I don’t have a heart.”
Xuan Che: "...Then spread it towards the torso. This heat will follow your mind, so try to guide it..."
Irene blinked. “I don’t feel the heat either.”
Xuan Che was stunned for a moment.
He was even more stunned than when he heard how Yu Sheng used a bunch of strange materials and messy "techniques" to refine a body.
"This feeling may be very weak," he was stunned for several seconds before continuing with a strange look in his eyes, "Feel it carefully, it is definitely there."
"No," Irene said confidently, "My sixth sense is very sharp! I just didn't feel it!"
"Really not at all?!"
"No, hey, why are you so hesitant?"
Yu Sheng noticed the expression on Xuan Che's face.
"Does this mean that Irene is not very talented in this area?" He asked as tactfully as possible, "and cannot use your training techniques?"
Xuan Che's expression was hesitant and almost confused: "No, it's not worse."
"So you have absolutely no talent?"
"No, no, it has nothing to do with talent." Xuan Che suddenly took a deep breath and took the jade token back from Irene. He organized his words before speaking again, "People without talent can also feel it. The difference between high and low talent is just the strength of the feeling and the difficulty of guiding. The worst... won't be like her."
Yu Sheng opened his mouth and hesitated: "Could it be because she is a puppet and has a special physique?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Theoretically... it shouldn't be possible," Xuan Che shook his head. "Dolls are also living beings, and living beings have the blessing of spirituality. This thing is not only effective on flesh and blood."
Yu Sheng frowned.
"Give it to me and let me try."
He reached out and took the jade token from Xuan Che's hand, and felt it carefully as the other party said.
After a moment, he threw the jade token to Hu Li who was standing beside him: "You try it too."
A few minutes later, Xuan Che received six confused faces.
Irene was the first to break the silence: "Is your brand bad?"
"This shouldn't be the case." This time, even Xuan Che began to doubt himself. He took the jade token and held it in his hand for a long time, then raised it up and examined it carefully, knocking on it a few times. "It's not broken."
"It's broken, but we didn't feel it," Hu Li said firmly, "I also understand magic. I can tell if you can use my touch..."
Yu Sheng glanced at Hu Li and wondered where this nine-tailed fox, who came from another world and whose cultivation system was different from the local one, got so much confidence.
But he also tended to think that Xuan Che had a bad card in his hand.
Xuan Che saw that there was no way out of this situation, so he put away the jade token in dismay, and took out a piece of talisman paper from his bosom: "Then use this, after lighting it, the smoke will not dissipate, inhaling it can stimulate the blood and qi, use the blood to control the qi, and then communicate with the spirits of heaven and earth..."
Irene didn't wait for the other person to finish speaking before she said, "I don't have any blood."
"Then use this Soul-Enriching Pill and directly..."
Irene: "I don't have a stomach yet."
"There is also a golden hairpin. Although it is a shortcut, it can directly stimulate the brain and activate..."
"I don't have a brain either."
"...No internal organs?"
"None of them. Didn't you know that Alice dolls don't have these?"
"I am...ashamed."
