Demonic Demoness Training Project

"What kind of emphasis is it? Is it going into production? If it is going into production, I think we should be more careful and reduce the cost to below 520. If we don't plan to put it into production, then I think there's no need to keep trying to reduce the cost."

Wang Ze hesitated and dared not speak. He turned to look at Elder Rong Jing behind him, who simply smiled and said:

"If you can reduce the power to below 480, and at the same time the power must meet the standard of a second-level puppet, I can make the decision to put your puppet into production."

Lu Li didn't want to spend too much time on this. He just wanted to pass the test and secure the qualification of a candidate saintess. Anyway, Yan Tu would have to be handed over to the sect in the end, and he wouldn't get any spirit stones. He didn't want to waste a single second on this.

His Aikido can indeed counter the Demon Whip Thousand Blades, and it's cool that he single-handedly fought against thousands of elites. His "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One" performance on the spot is also very cool.

The problem is that this diagram might not be adopted by the sect and put into production.

Now that the other party is using the "importance of the sect" to pressure him and tell him the standards for production, he now has extra time to deduce other artifacts after the completion of the core of the Great Dream Profound Pivot.

Since that's the case, he needs to carefully plan how to leverage the power of the Immortal Clan and the productivity of the sect to give these insects a big boost.

Lu Li thought for a moment, then, fearing that Rong Jing might change his mind at the last minute, deliberately raised his voice and cheered excitedly:

"Really? I'll go tell the sect leader this good news right away! Hehe~ As expected of the sect leader, the direction she pointed me in was indeed correct."

Upon hearing this, Rong Jing's lips twitched, and the other stewards looked troubled.

Lu Li's words were tantamount to asking Ying Wange to make the decision for him. Although Ying Wange didn't care about Lu Li, who was a minor figure, if Rong Jing went back on his word, Ying Wange would definitely not let go of this opportunity to suppress the Grand Elder's lineage.

Chapter 151 It's gotten smaller again

After passing the assessment, Lu Li went to Elder Che's cave to report on the assessment. Elder Che nodded slightly after listening and said she would pass it on to the sect leader.

“The android I’ve developed goes beyond the scope of open-source androids. Do you think… you could provide some additional funding?”

"Yes, that makes sense. However, this isn't something I can decide alone. You should go back and wait for further instructions. I need to consult with the sect leader."

Lu Li originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to make some extra money, just like last time, but this time Elder Che dodged the question and gave him a smooth way out.

"The Grand Elder is in charge of the entire Inner Sect's Weapon Refining Hall. If he wants to renege on his debt, the Sect Master will stand up for you... By the way, give me a copy of that Yan Tu. I'll use it to cover up my mistake later."

"Yes."

The open-source Yantu will eventually be handed over to the sect, and it doesn't matter to Lu Li whether it's handed over sooner or later.

Lu Li first went to the Heavenly Pavilion to collect some external scriptures, and then returned to his cave to study them in seclusion.

As usual, the two cores, A and B, comprehended the Dao, while the two cores, C and D, guarded the Pear Garden. Lu Li's cultivation achievements in one day were almost equivalent to those of an ordinary disciple in ten days or half a month.

Twenty days of such practice were equivalent to more than half a year for other disciples.

To reduce costs, the Demon Whip Thousand Blades technique inevitably sacrifices power. A thousand blades were too many, so Lu Li reduced it to eight hundred blades and slightly increased the size of each blade.

Lu Li raised the newly forged Demon Whip Thousand Blades above his head, shook it a couple of times under the candlelight, first activated the magic array on the handle to try and control the flying blades, then switched to the Qi-Harmony Cauldron to manipulate the flying blades, and found that there were no problems, so he nodded in satisfaction.

"Perhaps this should be renamed Demon Whip Eight Hundred Blades? Hmm, that doesn't sound very good either. Or maybe it should be called [Demon Whip Thousand Blades - Negative Two Hundred Type]?"

“My silly disciple, why bother with this? Back when the human and demon races were at war, the human race only had 830,000 cultivators, but they still claimed to have a million. You can just call yourself Demon Whip Thousand Blades. Anyway, the enemy won’t actually count them.”

"Hmm, that makes sense!"

There's really no need to dwell on this. In any case, once this thing falls into the hands of the sect, it will probably be further modified and optimized. Being able to do this much is enough.

Suddenly, Lu Li shivered for no reason. He instinctively hugged his arms. Lu Li had been experiencing this kind of situation every few days in the past few days.

He mobilized his divine sense to examine his own body and discovered that the yin energy within him had actually increased to 97%!

"Ah! How could this be? I've clearly been taking my medication these past few days."

Lu Li has been using the Nine Dragon Pills non-stop these past few days. Even if the Yin energy doesn't decrease, it's impossible for it to suddenly increase so much.

The result was that the ancient beast cub shrank even further, now standing less than an inch tall.

"Are you up to something again?"

"Don't blame everything on your teacher. Why would your teacher have nothing better to do than pick on your little chick? You should think about where your blood comes from. Seriously, you've been studying the Yan Tu to the point of studying dogs."

Lu Li felt a little unconvinced after being scolded by Elder Duan, but then he slapped his forehead and suddenly understood the reason.

The main organ for blood production in humans is bone marrow, and the same is true for mechanical puppets. Lu Li's bone marrow was replaced with extremely cold jade marrow, which is inherently extremely yin in nature, so the blood produced is naturally extremely yin as well.

"This...this is too creepy. Nobody told me that changing bones can make you...make you smaller."

Lu Li pouted, grabbed a white pear, took a big bite, and swallowed it whole, venting all her grief and indignation on the white pear.

"The best days are yet to come, humph! Skin, flesh, bones, and blood are one system, while the internal organs are another. Glass bones are spread throughout the body, the spine connects to the Great Dream Mystic Pivot, and the blood produced by the bone marrow is transported throughout the body by the blood pump, protecting your body along with the skin and flesh. Just learn from it, hehehe."

Duan Xuanyuan became more and more proud as he spoke, after all, this puppet was the culmination of half her life's work, and during the days he was trapped in Lu Li's sea of ​​consciousness, he could only show it off in front of Lu Li.

Even if he is a wicked disciple.

The more Lu Li pondered, the more he realized the subtlety of it. No wonder Elder Duan said that these mechanisms could affect the whole situation if one part was moved, and that every mechanical device had its reason for being placed here.

In the following two months, the performance evaluations for the back and front shares were completed as scheduled.

Lu Li completed the mission exceptionally well, and with several elders of the Ying family present to oversee the process, no matter how the Grand Elder tried to make things difficult, he couldn't stop a disciple who had refined a second-stage puppet from seizing the qualification of a candidate saintess.

After that, Lu Li spent half a month completing the finishing touches on the glass bone, and then immediately began refining the jade foot.

As for the refining of the jade feet, since it is made by refining the skin, flesh, and bone twice, Lu Li needs to refine the three-piece set of skin, flesh, and bone again if he wants the finished product.

Of course, only the legs are needed.

There were still spiritual materials left, among which the Azure Nether Painted Skin was only a first-stage artifact. Since Lu Li had already refined it once, refining it again was a piece of cake for him.

Two days later, when those jade-like feet appeared before him again, Lu Li couldn't help but pinch them, and even had an urge to suck them—

"It's a pity that no salt was added, so the flavor is a bit bland. It has good color, aroma, and taste, but only good color and aroma, and lacks flavor."

Of course, such thoughts remain just thoughts. The human brain occasionally produces some outrageous ideas, which are often too crazy and fleeting. It is unknown whether this is a side effect of the splitting of the core or hysteria caused by too many organ transplants. Lu Li has been having these thoughts frequently lately.

Shaking his head, Lu Li regained his composure.

After a period of deduction, Lu Li determined the secondary refining process for the jade foot.

Following the liquid carburizing method, crush the formless glass, mix it with extremely yin water, and then soak both legs in it. While applying pressure, simmer over a low flame for three days.

Under high pressure and gentle heat, the formless glass will penetrate into the skin and flesh, causing the skin and flesh to become completely jade-like, not only increasing its strength but also making it crystal clear.

Because the jade foot became translucent, the light welding technique could be used to inscribe a spatial array directly inside the jade foot through the surface skin.

It sounds complicated, but it's actually not simple at all. Lu Li spent a lot of effort to reverse engineer this process from the finished product.

Among the second-stage mechanical artifacts that Lu Li currently possesses, none have such complex craftsmanship. As second-stage mechanical artifacts, their internal organs and mechanisms are like beautiful women in front of Yu Zu.

Lu Li timed it carefully, leaving the magic circle on one toe unengaged, and waited until the last three days of the loan application to complete it. He used the ten days in between to prepare for the next round of loans in advance.

Chapter 152 All Five Elements Complete

After paying off the loan, Lu Li activated the Reversal Heavenly Dipper Instrument to begin a new round of loans.

The quota remains three second-tier artifacts. After considering and weighing the options over the past few days, Lu Li already has a plan in mind for which three.

"I choose the Blood Pump, the Life-Giving Container, and the Permafrost Machine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Li's body shone brightly, and his internal organs were replaced one after another. Among them, the blood pump corresponded to the heart, the life-giving box corresponded to the liver, and the cryogenic machine corresponded to the kidneys.

Now that things have come to this point, with all five internal organs gathered together, Lu Li suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated. His five internal organs were now perfectly integrated, and the five elements interacted and restrained each other, creating an endless cycle of life.

He did not have a three-in-one spiritual source implanted in his body, but he had five spiritual cores providing spiritual power, which were even more effective than the spiritual source.

The five puppets are a set, and their spiritual power is interconnected. When the spiritual power of the other four puppets is concentrated on one of them, it can unleash even more astonishing power.

This was already proven back when they faced the Venerable One.

Lu Li unbuttoned his shirt one by one and twisted his shoulders slightly.

wow~

Her dress slipped down, exposing her jade-like body to the air.

Lu Li put his hands on his hips and pinched them hard. His waist was already very thin, and his ice skin was so soft, while the outer shell of the cryogenic machine was hard. Therefore, Lu Li could vaguely feel the two hard kidneys inside his body.

Lu Li tried to activate the permanent freezing machine, and a delicate little ice lotus instantly bloomed from his fingertip. He pursed his lips and blew gently, and the ice lotus spun around and turned into ice powder and disappeared. The temperature inside the cave dropped sharply.

After putting on this ice-based artifact, Lu Li could no longer feel the cold at all, and the discomfort he had previously experienced due to excessive yin energy had completely disappeared.

He was long past the age of youthful passion; after putting on this set of puppets, his blood ran cold all over his body.

That winter, people were impoverished, and his kidneys were only worth three spirit stones. But in just one year, the value of his kidneys increased a thousandfold.

It's hard to imagine that this mechanical device inside my body was actually obtained by exchanging those two kidneys, which were worth three spirit stones.

Thinking of this, Lu Li only regretted that he was too ignorant and could not compose a poem to express the myriad emotions in his heart.

"Judging by the time, the selection of the Holy Maiden should be starting soon. Time to emerge from seclusion!"

In the public eye, he was a newly emerged cultivator who had recently advanced in cultivation thanks to elixirs.

It is perfectly legitimate and aboveboard!

He is not on the demonic path, but on the righteous path!

If you were to ask about things like the boundless calamity of the demonic path or the man-eating demonic demoness, Lu Li's answer would always be—"Little Deer doesn't know."

After acquiring the three mechanical organs, Lu Li's first action was to go to the Mission Hall and spend over six thousand spirit stones to purchase three second-stage, nine-type Taixu-version spirit cores, replacing the original second-stage, six-type spirit cores.

However, just as Lu Li was about to go out, he saw a group of disciples blocking the doorway. When he scanned them with his divine sense, he found that they were all whispering around a mechanical screen.

"Wow, Mu Sixian's odds are now 4 to 1."

"I heard from my uncle that this year's selection of the Holy Maiden is prepared for Senior Sister Mu. It has already been decided in advance. All that's needed is to suppress Mu Sixian."

“But I want to put pressure on Senior Brother Wei Cizhou. He has a three-stage mechanical weapon. He was narrowly defeated by Xie Lingyin ten years ago. After so many years of accumulation, he is no longer the same as before.”

Lu Li raised an eyebrow. It seemed that these people were placing bets.

Looking down the betting list, he was ranked last, with odds of an astonishing 1 to 20.

In the end, there were forty people competing with Lu Li for the positions of Holy Maiden and Holy Son.

According to the rules of the White Moon Palace, there are only six Holy Maidens and Holy Sons in total, regardless of gender. Only when one of these people perishes or is promoted to Elder, and a position becomes vacant, will a new Holy Son or Holy Maiden be selected from the candidates.

The position of alternate is also very rare. In the past thirty years, only forty-one alternates have been selected. Lu Li is the least senior among them, while the other forty are all veterans.

Among these forty people, quite a few had even fought against Xie Lingyin and others, only to be defeated. However, after years of biding their time, their strength and resources were unimaginable.

If Lu Li wants to seize the position of Saintess, he will have to face his senior brothers and sisters who entered the sect decades earlier than him.

In comparison, Lu Li's apparent strength is nothing special; at most, he's far ahead in the Puppeteer Realm. Plus, his master recently "fell," so it would be abnormal for anyone to bet on him.

Thinking this, the senior sister from the Mission Hall stepped forward and said:

"Junior sister, why don't you give it a try?"

"This……"

To be honest, Lu Li has a psychological aversion to things like stocks and gambling; he is inherently opposed to them.

"I'm honest with everyone, young and old. A little gambling is harmless. Playing small games is fine."

"Okay, bet on me, three thousand."

The senior sister perked up and looked Lu Li up and down again. With her fair skin, beautiful face, and exquisite features, she certainly didn't seem to be of ordinary birth.

Seeing Lu Li's timid and hesitant demeanor at first, she initially thought he was penniless, but little did she know he would come up with three thousand spirit stones right away.

Can this be called a small bet?

Whose young lady is this? Throwing away three thousand spirit stones like that, are you just trying to make a sound?

"By the way, who are you planning to bet on?"

"I just said, bet on me—three thousand!"

"you?"

"I am Lu Li."

……

White Moon Palace, at the summit of Extreme Peak, in the sect leader's cave.

Ying Wange sat cross-legged on the futon, listened to Che Wenjun's report, and nodded in satisfaction. After the other party left, she took out the Red Dust Refining Heart Instrument and observed the scenery inside.

In the scene, the two geese are staring at each other, the one on the left is Lu Ling, or perhaps Xin Wu, the protector.

The one on the right shook its head and gestured towards Lu Ling:

"Coo-coo-caw, you are the Two Elements Goose, you are the Two Elements Goose, you are the Two Elements Goose... Who are you?"
