The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 936 You decide, I'm fine with it! (2nd update)
Long Ling knew that Yun Ran had woken up, so she turned her head to look at Yun Ran.

Immediately afterwards, Long Ling said something that surprised everyone, her tone carrying a hint of resentment.

"If you had told me earlier that you could create such powerful puppets, I wouldn't have needed to possess someone else's body. Remember to create a puppet body for me too!"

Yunran: ...

I wonder where Long Ling learned this habit of speaking so casually.

"No materials!"

Yun Ran didn't say she wouldn't help Long Ling refine it, but only Yun Ran herself knew how difficult it was to find materials to refine a human body.

In order to refine the body for the ginseng fruit, she not only used up all the materials she had saved up for a long time, but also contributed her only one Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

Only bodies tempered by heavenly lightning will not suffer major problems or be directly transformed into demons.

The difficulties involved cannot be explained in just a few words.

It can be said that when the ginseng fruit was helped to refine its body, everything was in perfect harmony – the right time, the right place, and the right people.

Now, even if suitable materials are found to help the dragon spirit refine a body.

However, Yunran no longer has the Heavenly Thunder Pearl to help her draw down the heavenly lightning for tempering.

If the puppet is forged and directly subjected to the tempering of heavenly lightning, the probability of failure can reach eighty percent.

Upon hearing that there were no materials, Long Ling immediately added, "What materials do you need? I'll find them!"

Yunran saw the determination in Longling's eyes and, without hiding anything, directly reported the materials.

"If you really can't find the last few materials, it's okay, but the failure rate will be very high when you are tempered by heavenly lightning in the final step."

Although this is merely a puppet, it's best to have it tested by heavenly lightning before using it without any worries.

Upon hearing that so many materials were needed, Long Ling's initially expectant gaze immediately turned somewhat disappointed.

"So this is all it takes, sigh..."

The body that Long Ling currently possesses is made of flesh and blood, and it can only be used for a few decades.

When the time comes, the body will naturally die of old age, and the dragon spirit will only be able to become a phantom without a physical form.

For thousands of years, the Dragon Spirit commanded the winds and rains at sea, and never found it boring.

Having lived as a human for some time, Long Ling felt that he had adapted to human life and would not be used to going back to his previous life.

However, with a puppet's body, things are different; he no longer needs to possess anyone.

After considering it for a while, Long Ling finally gritted her teeth and agreed, "I will prepare all the materials!"

Ginseng Fruit is probably the only one who can understand and empathize with Dragon Spirit.

After all, he also felt that living as a human being was much happier than being a system residing in a host.

At least when it comes to eating and drinking, humans are truly the ultimate authority.

The aroma inside the cave grew stronger and stronger.

Only then did Long Ling notice that there was a soup pot next to the ginseng fruit.

It's obvious that this isn't something you can find in these mountains and forests.

The aroma immediately drew Long Ling's thoughts to food.

Where did you find this jar?

"I traded with someone at the foot of the mountain, and I also found out some information, but my master's injuries haven't healed yet, so I can't go too far."

This pot contains chicken soup, and also a lot of medicinal herbs, which are definitely good for your health.

Just as the soup was ready, Ginseng Fruit noticed that the little paper figure was carrying a basket of washed wild vegetables, which looked fresh and juicy.

Ginseng Fruit quickly took out a very small iron pot. "These wild herbs, if stir-fried, should taste delicious."

About ten minutes later, the trio who had fallen into the spatial rift finally got to eat their first hot and delicious meal.

After finishing the last sip of soup, Yunran felt that it was still okay to eat chicken for a while.

Fortunately, from beginning to end, Yunran didn't say a word about not liking any of the food, just to save face for the little paper doll.

Otherwise, the little paper doll would really hide in the corner and cry itself to death.

They followed the same steps, and even their bodies were crafted by the same master.

However, their cooking skills just just can't seem to improve.

After eating and drinking his fill, Long Ling sat on the hay sofa that the little paper doll had specially woven for him.

After finishing his work with the ginseng fruit, he began to tell Yunran about some information he had gathered after going down the mountain.

"It is estimated that this world has a Heavenly Book as its foundation, therefore, the situation here is somewhat different from the world we lived in before."

In this world, the Xuan Master is the highest-ranking being, comparable to the former royal family or the current aristocratic families.

They have the final say on all important matters, and ordinary people don't actually have an easy time.

"I traded a peace charm with the people down the mountain for this pot."

Upon hearing this, Yunran knew that the lives of ordinary people were probably more than just difficult.

But Long Ling got a little excited: "You mean, in this world, Xuan Masters are revered? Then wouldn't the three of us be like fish in water here?"

Seeing the excitement in Long Ling's eyes, Yun Ran immediately poured cold water on it.

"To the people of this world, we are villains who came to steal the Heavenly Book. Do you still think we're in our element?"

Dragon Spirit: ...

If Yunran hadn't mentioned it, he would have truly forgotten.

"Now what?"

Yun Ran looked at her injuries: "You can heal anywhere, but healing here is completely in the dark and a waste of time."

The ginseng fruit plant actually thought the same way, even though they had enough medicine for injuries.

However, the environment here is really bad, and it's inconvenient to eat and drink, which is not conducive to the host's recovery.

"Then let's pack up today, go down the mountain, and find a suitable place to recuperate."

Long Ling didn't care, since he was very adaptable to his environment anyway.

"Fine, you decide, I'm fine with either!"

While waiting for Long Ling to go out and wash off the dust and dirt on her body.

Yun Ran then looked at the ginseng fruit and asked the question she had forgotten to ask before: "What exactly is the entanglement between you and the Heavenly Book?"

Before, the ginseng fruit might not have been able to explain itself, but since arriving in this spatial rift, its body has been reshaped.

He finally figured out what connection he had with the Heavenly Book.

"You know my origins, host. I am an intelligent life form from a higher world, unlike those systems that follow orders and procedures."

Now I understand where I differ from those streamlined systems: my chip carrier is made of almost the same material as the Heavenly Book.

Yunran: ...

She considered many possibilities, but never this one.
