Demonic Demoness Training Project

"You old bastard, get out here!"

At first, no one responded, but after Lu Li called out several times, Elder Duan finally responded nonchalantly:

"What? You only think of your teacher when something happens?"

"Tell me, was this your doing?"

"what's up?"

"Insects! How could there be insects in my sea of ​​consciousness?"

"What kind of bug? This... I don't know. It's all your fault. I've been recovering from my injuries all day. How could I have time to get involved in your affairs?"

"you!"

Lu Li was speechless. The other party seemed completely indifferent. In the end, Lu Li even started to lose confidence, since Elder Duan hadn't really caused him any trouble recently.

But the problem was that Old Master Duan didn't cause him any trouble. Something unusual must be going on, which made Lu Li feel uneasy.

As Duan got to know Lu Li better, he figured out his temperament more and more. Rather than saying a lot of things and making him wary, it was better to say nothing and do something bad behind his back.

Lu Li had no choice but to catch the insects from the eleven or twelve pear trees. It wasn't difficult to get rid of the insects, but it was incredibly annoying. As soon as he stopped watching them for a moment, the trees would be covered with insects again.

However, this was not without its costs for Elder Duan. Each time she rubbed the soul worms by hand, it was a drain on her own energy. Even though it could slow down Lu Li's spiritual cultivation speed, it also affected her own recovery speed.

In other words, Duan Lao's move was a case of hurting the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of his own, but the harm the soul worms caused to Lu Li was far greater than the consumption she herself suffered.

This is a protracted battle, and it depends on who can take the lead. As Lu Li's cultivation level increases and the body transformation progresses, Duan Xuanyuan is increasingly eager for his new and vibrant body.

Since he completed the Boundless Tribulation Open Source last time, coupled with the effects of the medicinal bath, his body is gradually transforming into the Returning Void Dao Body. This process is very slow, and even Lu Li himself is unaware of it, but Duan Xuanyuan has noticed it.

……

On this day, just as Lu Li finished dealing with the soul worms and was preparing to study the Yan Tu, Duan Xuanyuan appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Duan Xuanyuan picked up a soul worm and was about to place it on the pear tree leaf when a beautiful figure suddenly appeared behind her.

"I knew it was you who was behind this!"

Having said that, Lu Li made a fist with one hand, and his divine sense condensed into a thousand blades of demonic whip, which took shape in her palm and stabbed towards Duan Xuanyuan.

She didn't try to understand the diagram at all. She pretended to leave, but she kept a watchful eye on things, waiting for Elder Duan to appear.

However, Duan Lao was in good condition. Because she had been betrayed before, she was now more cautious. She turned her body and quickly took out the Xuanyuan Soul-Gathering Pestle from her chest, and clashed head-on with Lu Li!

Clang!

The demonic whip and the magic pestle collided, bursting into dazzling sparks. Both sides retreated ten steps, each feeling a sense of dread.

Lu Li was shocked by Duan Xuanyuan's recovery speed. Having such a guy appearing and disappearing unpredictably in his mind's sea of ​​consciousness, never knowing when he would jump out and stab him in the back, made him really uneasy.

Duan Xuanyuan was astonished by Lu Li's rapid progress. Since he completed the Boundless Tribulation Source Open Source, not only his physical body but also his divine sense had undergone a transformation, becoming as pure as Tan Mengzi had been back then.

Duan Xuanyuan flicked the precious pestle in his hand, sneered three times, and said:

"So what if you know? What can you do to me?"

"Hmph! This is my sea of ​​consciousness!"

Lu Li snorted coldly, and his entire sea of ​​consciousness began to surge instantly. The Demon Whip in his hand transformed into countless flying blades, surrounding Elder Duan and sealing off all her escape routes.

"fall!"

Lu Li's thoughts stirred, and the attacks descended in unison. But just as these attacks were about to hit Duan Xuanyuan, her body suddenly vanished, leaving only the other party's mocking taunts in the empty sea of ​​consciousness.

"I don't have time to play with you. If you want to fight me, you'll have to cultivate for another hundred years, hehehe!"

Lu Li looked around, her small chest heaving violently, panting heavily as she spoke.

"Get out here! Get your ass out here!"

"Hey, I won't come out, I won't come out, hehehehe!"

Wow! That's so cheeky!

That old bastard is so annoying!

Lu Li was frustrated and inwardly furious. His opponent had made a quick escape and had no intention of lingering with him. Looking at the pear trees in his mind, Lu Li felt both heartache and depression.

Although they are all saplings, these pear trees have already blossomed, but due to the invasion of the soul insects, the flowers have begun to wither. Duan Lao is in the dark, while he is in the light; this absolutely cannot continue.

The methods of that soul worm were even more bizarre, seemingly not a mechanical device, but simply a method of using divine sense.

We need to find a way to deal with her.

Lu Li stroked his delicate chin, pondering to himself.

He has been busy with many matters recently. He had already comprehended the Soul Dao inheritance left by Venerable and Tan Mengzi some time ago. In addition, he has read many external classics recently and deduced the diagram of the Demon Whip Thousand Blades.

Combining the two, Lu Li gradually came up with some ideas. He could easily condense a thousand blades of demonic whip in his sea of ​​consciousness, but one was not his limit; he could condense many.

The handle can be omitted, since he controls it with his mind and doesn't actually need to hold it with his hands. The blade can be made flatter and smaller...

Lu Li suddenly realized that this was the Thousand Refined Flowers he had released after transforming.

At that time, Lu Li's mastery of the Soul Dao was insufficient, and he was able to use it in his future form entirely with the assistance of the artifact spirit. Now that his mastery of the Soul Dao is sufficient, and with the Thousand Blades of the Demon Whip as a foundation, comprehending this divine power is a natural progression.

The cause-and-effect loop seems to have been predetermined.

Thinking of this, Lu Li suddenly felt his mind clear.

But that's not enough. This trick can catch her off guard when Master Duan appears again, but it can't prevent Master Duan from releasing insects when she's deduce the mechanical device.

Furthermore, operating a large number of Demon Whips and Blades simultaneously is itself a major challenge.

Previously, he was only thinking about how to capture Elder Duan himself, which led him astray—if only there were a way to do two things at once.

The Xuan Shu replaces the cultivator's brain; multitasking is equivalent to having the Xuan Shu do two things at the same time.

This might be difficult for ordinary cultivators, because the Xuan Shu's deductive power is limited. Trying to do two things at once will increase the burden on the Spirit Core, and the end result is very likely to be mental blockage, making the cultivator stupid and ultimately causing them to do neither thing well.

But Lu Li is different. His Spirit Core is the Three-Turn Nine-Type True Void Transmission version, and its deduction power is comparable to a low-grade Four-Turn Spirit Core. Based on his current level of application, he is far from reaching the upper limit of the deduction power of this Spirit Core.

At this moment, a bold idea gradually took shape in Lu Li's mind.

What if we could divide it into two parts and do both at the same time?

Rather than calling it multitasking, it's better to describe it as "dual-core parallel processing."

Chapter 146 Blowpipe

Yeah, multi-core parallel processing, how come I never thought of that before?

Typical mortal thinking!

Thinking of this, Lu Li immediately activated his divine sense, probing deep into the core of the spirit core to begin splitting it.

This action is not about dismantling the device itself, but rather about changing the way the Spirit Core is deduced, ultimately allowing it to operate in two separate ways, each performing its own function.

All of this was done behind Duan Lao's back. The other party could see everything in his sea of ​​consciousness, but he could not see through Lu Li's inner thoughts or his deduction process.

Soon, Lu Li realized that he had underestimated the deductive ability of the Spirit Core.

Dual-core parallel operation is not actually its limit.

Lu Li divided it into four cores: A, B, C, and D. Among them, A is the main core, which uses the most deduction power, while B, C, and D are the secondary cores, which use less deduction power and simultaneously handle other events.

For example, right now, Lu Li is using the two sub-cores, A and B, to deduce the refining methods of the Glazed Bone and Jade Foot respectively, and using the two sub-cores, C and D, to monitor his sea of ​​consciousness. As soon as Elder Duan shows her face, he will use the Thousand Refined Flowers technique to hit her head.

"The effects of high-level spirit cores are so profound, no wonder cultivators are all pursuing higher-level spirit cores. The price of spirit cores has been driven up to the sky, and they are even out of stock."

……

Less than half a day later, no sooner had Lu Li left than Old Duan reappeared and started causing trouble again.

The old woman suddenly appeared. She crouched down and sneaked to the pear tree. She looked around for a while, holding the Xuanyuan Soul-Gathering Pestle in her left hand and pinching a soul worm in her right hand. She was about to put it on the pear tree.

But just then, Old Duan felt a chill on the back of his neck.

In an instant, countless pear blossoms bloomed on the branches of the pear sapling. These pear blossoms were not from the Resurrected Fragrance Pear, but were formed by Lu Li using his divine sense.

【A Thousand Refinements and Myriad Flowers】!

The pear blossoms on the branches were as sharp as blades, and in an instant they exploded, hurtling towards Old Duan without reservation.

"Ok!"

Such a display even surprised Elder Duan. Clearly, Lu Li's divine sense avatar had not appeared, so why could he still unleash such divine power?

Without time to think, Duan Xuanyuan hurriedly swung the Xuanyuan Soul-Gathering Pestle to defend himself.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The precious pestle grew a spear tip, and with a flourish, it deflected the flying pear blossom blades. But each time it deflected them, more blades would surround it, smearing Duan Xuanyuan's face with their blades.

Duan Xuanyuan had a bad feeling and quickly concealed himself, cursing under his breath:

"You wicked disciple! What kind of tricks have you used?!"

At this moment, Lu Li's divine avatar re-condensed and awoke from the dream simulation. He yawned, as if he had just woken up.

"Ah—you're dumbfounded now, hahaha, you want to fight me? You'll have to train for another hundred years, hahaha!"

Lu Li's tone now is exactly the same as Duan Lao's back then. Duan Lao was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and the way he breathed out was exactly the same as Lu Li's back then.

"Wait, could it be that divine power you used back then!"

"That's right, thanks to you, you old codger, I was able to comprehend this divine power."

In fact, Lu Li's current Thousand Refinements of Flowers technique is not yet in its complete state. There are currently twelve pear trees in his sea of ​​consciousness, and he can condense and control up to one hundred and eight pear blossoms at the same time.

Ultimately, it's because there aren't enough pear trees in the sea of ​​consciousness, and the divine sense isn't strong enough.

At least, Lu Li could be sure that he was on the right track. To unleash the full version of this divine power, he still needed to accumulate more experience and more pear trees.

……

Time flies.

Twenty days later, despite the interference of Elder Duan, Lu Li's spiritual sense had visibly improved thanks to the effects of thousands of Nourishing Spirit Pills. Although he was still quite far from reaching Grade B, his thinking speed had increased further.

Among them, the A core, as the main core, is mainly responsible for deducing the glass bone, and its deduction speed is eight times that of ordinary cultivators.

As a rich core, the second core is mainly responsible for deducing the jade foot, and its deduction speed is five times that of ordinary cultivators.

In addition, the phaseless glass and the optical welding device arrived one after another.

The former is completely transparent, emitting a pale blue glow, and is spotless, without any impurities.

The latter was a welding torch, similar to the one Lu Li had seen the Fan family members use during the double-seal assessment, but much shorter, only about half a foot long.

The jade feet were crafted based on the three artifacts: skin, flesh, and bone. Therefore, Lu Li had to first refine the glass bones.

The next step is to try out various feasible processes.

Lu Li took a small portion of the Formless Glazed Glass, ground it into powder, added various spiritual materials, and placed it in the Heavenly Fire Cauldron to melt it into a pool of dark blue liquid, which would be the main material for bone.

This dark blue liquid has a special texture and requirements, making it unsuitable for shaping using either molds or injection molding machines.

"The bone is hollow, and it will need to be filled with bone marrow later. Removing the mold from inside is very troublesome."

“If we first shape the bone marrow and then spray it onto the surface with an injection device, it won’t work. This stuff is too viscous; the injection device can’t even spray it out. Besides, the main material of bone marrow is extremely cold jadeite, which is easily damaged and deteriorated when exposed to high temperatures.”

“The periosteum has a different texture, and the bone itself is more heat-resistant, so we can use an injection device to spray the spiritual material onto the outer layer of the bone.”

Lu Li analyzed it this way, and after some consideration, he finally decided to use a mold to shape the outside and a blow molding process to shape the bone.

He first took a hollow steel pipe, dipped it into a lump of liquid glass, used a mold to shape the glass, and then used a thin strip to poke a small blind hole in the center of the liquid glass through the steel pipe.

The gas can then enter through this blind hole, blowing a hollow area out of the molten glass, much like blowing a sheepskin raft.

As for how to precisely control the internal shaping, it's quite simple. Lu Li can control the internal shape by using the qi exhaled from the Qi-Gathering Cauldron.

Lu Li first blew a section of the spine. During this process, Mo Wan helped him. Thanks to the core separation, Lu Li separated the core specifically to manipulate Mo Wan.

"Awoo."

So Lu Li took the long steel pipe into his mouth, while Mo Wan assisted the pipe at the other end, and from time to time filled the Heavenly Fire Cauldron next to him with spirit stones to keep it at a suitable temperature.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo~ Ouch~"

This liquid glass was incredibly potent. If it weren't for the Qi-Melting Cauldron, an ordinary person probably wouldn't even be able to blow it away. Even so, Lu Li was still struggling to breathe while blowing it.

After blowing for a period of time, the molten glass will solidify, at which point it must be placed in the Heavenly Fire Cauldron for reheating.

Just then, Su Xiaoya hummed a little tune and flew in from outside the entrance of the cave.
