Demonic Demoness Training Project

Lu Li discovered that he was not only able to think, but his thoughts were more active than ever before. The knowledge of alchemy he had absorbed from the jade slip was now appearing before his eyes.

Various spiritual materials that should only appear in books and jade slips now appeared before his eyes. These spiritual materials floated around and were processed with various techniques, undergoing all sorts of strange changes.

Lu Li knew that this was ultimately just a dream and didn't necessarily mean that things would really be like this in reality, but without a doubt, this dream could greatly help him deduce the Yan Tu.

Those problems that were once difficult to solve are now being solved one by one.

As the saying goes, "The mystic pivot replaces the brain, and dreams replace thinking."

"Oh my! The deductive ability of this Great Dream Pivot is indeed profound. With this, I don't need to spend my waking hours cultivating the Puppet Path, and I can achieve twice the results with half the effort in my dreams."

Previously, Lu Li was affected by Lu Ling's obsession and suffered from so-called hysteria. He would dream that he had become Lu Ling every time, and what he saw in the dream was all about Lu Ling's past. In the dream, his every move was out of his control.

After many days, Lu Li finally had her own dream.

So, Lu Li looked down with great joy.

Oh, jade feet!

Wait, why did I see her jade feet right away?!

Seeing this, Lu Li still held onto a sliver of hope, and with a mix of trepidation and curiosity, he couldn't resist reaching out...

Chapter 61 Dream Deduction

"Why is it still not there..."

After some searching, Lu Li only found a pair of fragrant steamed buns squeezed together.

These two steamed buns looked as if they had just come out of the oven, and were steaming hot. They were made with the finest white flour, and were not only symmetrical but also soft and elastic. However, they were pressed together quite forcefully, as if they had been forcibly pressed together from the sides by a press.

"I won't pass!"

Lu Li couldn't understand; his thoughts were not clear for the time being.

"That means you're a woman at heart."

"Old man, where did you come from? You suddenly spoke, you scared me to death."

A figure suddenly appeared beside Lu Li. Lu Li looked closely and saw that the figure was hunched over, with a blurry face and indistinct features.

This was the first time he had ever seen Old Master Duan's figure, at least in his own opinion.

"You're that old thing that's been inside me all this time?"

"Indeed, now that you have seen your teacher, why not bow to him?"

"I've never acknowledged myself as your disciple, have I? Don't flatter yourself, you old geezer... Transform!"

Lu Li raised her hand and pointed, and instantly her words became law. In the middle of the white steamed bun, a small shiitake mushroom actually rose up, its tender white stem and bright red cap making one's mouth water.

Not only that, with just a thought from Lu Li, the mushroom grew rapidly, instantly transforming from the size of a fingertip to half a person's height.

"it is good!"

The moment the word "good" was uttered, the red-topped white pole fell to the ground with a thud, turning into specks of light and disappearing without a trace.

"Hey, where did it go? My mushrooms!"

"Hehehe, what is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force, my disciple."

"Get out, and transform again!"

Lu Li pointed, and another mushroom sprouted from the middle of the white steamed bun. It grew as quickly as it was exposed to the wind and fell to the ground with a thud.

Ugh……

"Even in my dreams, I can't have any fun."

"If you want to have fun, then you can have fun. Why be so fixated on this?"

"Hmph, shameless old man."

Lu Liru scolded him, stomping her foot in anger. She stopped dwelling on the matter and continued her cultivation of the Puppet Path.

With a thought, the magical weapon known as the Demon Whip Hundred Blades materialized.

This was a piece she temporarily crafted during the Heavenly Grade Pliers Master assessment. Some time ago, someone wanted to buy the diagram of this Mortal Dao Pliers, and the offer was not very high, only one hundred and twenty spirit stones.

During the examination, Lu Li had a sudden inspiration and came up with the idea of ​​designing a special whip blade by referencing the magic array in the Qi-Gathering Cauldron.

Because this whip blade was forged from shattered iron ingot fragments, its overall workmanship was rather rough. It was much more powerful than most mortal mechanisms, but clearly inferior to a true first-stage mechanical device.

Although the first-stage puppet is at the bottom of the puppet categories, it is not something that ordinary mechanisms can easily replicate. Each puppet is the result of months or even years of tireless effort by the puppet master.

The design process often involves multiple cycles of deduction and trial runs before it can gradually become perfect.

For puppeteers, each attempt must be carefully considered. Depending on the complexity of the puppet diagram and the puppeteer's skill level, the time required to complete a puppet usually ranges from three days to a month. The cost price generally starts at fifty spirit stones. If one wants to pursue the ultimate performance and invests in rare spiritual materials regardless of cost, the cost may soar to thousands of spirit stones.

It should be noted that the material cost of the Demon Whip Hundred Blades was only five spirit stones. In addition, he deduced this mortal mechanism, which only took him a few hours. Even Elder Duan was amazed by the level of completion.

Since making a trial version would require spending money on materials, Lu Li felt it was a waste of time and effort, so she temporarily abandoned the idea.

Now that Lu Li possesses the Great Dream Pivot, he can materialize various spiritual materials in his dreams and try them out repeatedly for free and quickly. As long as he can imagine it, he can make adjustments in an instant.

Moreover, Lu Li discovered through comparison that his thinking speed in his dreams was about 60% faster than when he was awake.

This made her sigh:

"Such a useful puppet only takes one turn."

"The core material of the Great Dream Pivot is a Spirit Core of Grade 8 or higher. This thing is not cheap. Spirit Cores are expensive to begin with, let alone Grade 8. The market price starts at least at two hundred spirit stones. As the material that determines the upper limit of the puppet's intelligence, with the great war imminent, both sects are expanding their forces and they are in short supply."

Where can I buy it?

"Either you use connections, like attaching yourself to the families of the White Moon Palace, or you are a disciple of the White Moon Palace and have internal channels to purchase them."

"It seems we should join the White Moon Palace as soon as possible."

For the next three days, Lu Li spent most of his time deducing and perfecting the Demon Whip Thousand Blades. Finally, after continuously using the method of dream deduction and iterating for two thousand times, he finally completed the optimization of the Thousand Blades.

The final cost price was reduced to forty-three spirit stones. The shape and size of each blade were improved, and its power reached the passing level of a first-turn puppet. A first-turn puppet with a cost price of forty-three spirit stones is incredibly cost-effective.

I tried it twice, spending a total of one hundred spirit stones, and still had some scraps left over.

Lu Li sold the Yan Tu for 800 spirit stones.

The power and agility of the Demon Whip Blade are far inferior to those of the Qi-Mixing Cauldron. Moreover, Lu Li secretly left a backup plan. This thing works on a similar principle to the Qi-Mixing Cauldron, but the former is not supported by the Golden Spirit Core, so its control over the blade is far inferior to that of the Qi-Mixing Cauldron, and it is naturally countered by the Qi-Mixing Cauldron.

In short, anything that the Demon Whip Blade can do, the Aikido can also do; and a range of functions that the Aikido can achieve, the Demon Whip Blade may not be able to do.

Including what I've earned these past few days and what I borrowed from Mo Shuhan, after deducting the money for buying spiritual materials, I have 1,100 spirit stones and 360 kidneys on hand.

Reselling painted maps is still the fastest way to make money.

Go to a factory? He'll never go to a factory again in his life.

Lu Li never imagined that he would be so rich one day.

With some spare money in hand, Lu Li spent 180 spirit stones to buy a top-of-the-line first-stage nine-type golden spirit core and replaced it with one for his Qi-Harmony Cauldron.

With this brand-new Golden Spirit Core, the performance of the Qi-Harmony Cauldron has been greatly improved. The upper limit of spiritual energy storage has increased by 30%, and the upper limit of Void Qi storage has also increased from the original six ounces to the current one pound. This also allows him to use 95% Void Stone Powder to continuously activate five killing moves.

The only pity is that Lu Li couldn't get the Taixu version or the True Transmission version. The One Transformation Nine Forms is the highest quality that Lu Li can buy at this stage.

As for the original golden spirit core, Lu Li didn't throw it away. It contained clues about Lu Ling, so Lu Li put it into his storage bag and carefully put it away.

After doing all this, Lu Li did not linger any longer. He disguised himself and left Fengxiang City to report to Baiyue Palace.

Starting at the end of the year, both organizations began recruiting extensively, accepting all craftsmen who possess any seal of Heaven grade or above.

Lu Li even heard that many low-grade fitters and welders had used connections to join the ranks of outer disciples.

That day, Lu Li spent forty copper coins to hitch a ride on a passing oxcart, preparing to head to White Moon City, where the White Moon Palace headquarters was located.

Chapter 62 The Enemy Comes Knocking

Just then, a starship approached from afar. This was the first time Lu Li had seen a starship so closely, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"What a huge starship! When I have money, I want to go up and take a look."

At first, Lu Li thought the star raft was just passing by, but the star raft grew larger and larger, flew lower and lower, and gradually pressed down towards them.

not good!

Lu Li knew something was wrong. The dragon bones at the bottom of the Star Chariot pressed down heavily, plowing a trench a hundred feet deep into the earth and stirring up a sandstorm a hundred feet high. The ox that was galloping wildly just a second ago was now smashed to pieces, turning into a blood-red trail behind the Star Chariot.

The oxcart carrying Lu Li was also not spared, as it was blown away by the huge sandstorm.

This star raft was ten zhang long and more than two zhang wide, and its entire body was vermilion. It was two sizes smaller than the passenger star raft that Lu Li had seen flying to the middle reaches of the river that day. The faces of the people on the ship were somewhat familiar. Lu Li looked closely and saw that the one in the lead was Zhu Yi, who had chased him that day.

An old man standing at the bow of the boat, looking emaciated, held a compass in his left hand and pointed his right hand at Lu Li, saying in a deep voice:

"Young Master, based on my divination, the person who killed you should be her!"

Zhu Yi squinted at Lu Li, looking him up and down. His appearance gradually overlapped with that of "Miss Lu" he had seen that day.

Are you sure it's her?

"Absolutely true!"

In his view, his brother's death could not possibly have been a simple case of a mortal fleeing from debt and killing him. He had been investigating the matter for two months, and mortals certainly did not possess such means.

After he returned, he specifically ordered people to investigate the families that had dealings with the Mo family, and found that there was no family with the surname Lu, at least not on the surface.

Therefore, Zhu Yi felt that this matter was troublesome and that he could not handle it on his own. So he invited a guest advisor from his home who was skilled in divination and fate analysis, and that's how he tracked the matter all the way here.

At this moment, he looked at Lu Li and said coldly:

"Who ordered you to do this?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Fine, you won't talk, huh? Arrest her first. We can't stay here any longer. She has to be alive. I want to interrogate her myself."

At Zhu Yi's command, eight people jumped off the deck and surrounded Lu Li.

The incident happened suddenly. Lu Li did not expect that even though he had changed his name, fled to the territory of the White Moon Palace, and even changed his gender, the other party still had the means to track him down.

The Yan Dao has undergone countless changes and developments over the years, and it contains too many mysterious methods that he cannot understand or imagine.

The eight people opposite were all puppeteers, each wielding a puppet weapon, and the puppet weapons were all different in shape. Four of them were familiar faces that Lu Li had seen that day.

One of them held a steel drill, infused it with spiritual power, and then raised his hand to blast Lu Li towards it.

Without saying a word, Lu Li simultaneously activated the Azure Netherworld Skin and the Qi-Harmony Cauldron, causing the former to enter a steel state and the latter to enter a disintegration state. The use of the suture ligament did not require the consumption of spiritual power.

He stepped out in a lunge position, and the suspensory ligaments buried in his legs tightened in an instant, like a fully drawn bowstring that suddenly released at the moment it was stretched to its limit!

Whoosh!

The next moment, Lu Li kicked off with both feet, his body transforming into an arrow, rushing towards the person holding the steel drill.

To outsiders, Lu Li looked fair and delicate, as if he had never undergone any mechanical modification. However, he was just a mortal, and some people sneered.

"To try and take on a black diamond drill with one's bare body—who gave her the courage?! How laughable."

However, Zhu Yi witnessed Lu Li taking the chainsaw by force with his arm and couldn't help but call out to warn him.

"Be careful, she might have other defensive devices."

boom!

The two collided with a muffled thud, then separated instantly. The black steel drill shattered in a flash, and its owner was sent flying by a punch.

The scene fell silent instantly, the wilderness became deathly still, with only the howling north wind breaking through the silence.

Not only Zhu Yi and the others, but even Lu Li himself was frightened by the punch he had just thrown.

The simple Azure Skin only makes him thick-skinned and tough, but his attacks lack power. The simple Suspended Ligament only enhances his flexibility and explosiveness, but his physical strength is insufficient.

However, when the two are combined, their advantages complement each other, achieving a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts, making Lu Li's casual punch incredibly powerful.

At this point, the body modification had begun to show results.

"Don't hold back, attack together!"

The crowd surged forward, and Lu Li activated the Qi-Gathering Cauldron to mobilize her internal energy while simultaneously engaging in hand-to-hand combat.

Hammers and milling cutters flew everywhere, and the afterimages of fists and feet overlapped continuously. The Great Dream Profound Pivot was pushed to its limit, and the C-level divine sense spread out like a tide. Even when facing a sneak attack, it was as if Lu Li had eyes in the back of her head, and her reaction was extremely sensitive. She could always react at the moment before the opponent launched an attack.

Soon, Lu Li gained the upper hand, and the eight people fell one after another. Zhu Yi thought that bringing a few more people would make the victory a sure thing, but he never expected Lu Li to be so fierce. Seeing that things were going badly, he urged his star raft to escape.

As the Starship soared into the air, Lu Li lowered his body and stretched his ligaments to their limit once again, using his body as a crossbow to draw its bow, leaping ten meters into the air and landing on the Starship's deck.
