Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 176 - 167: 22 Minutes and 18 Seconds, Speedrun of Zhu Yan White Bone Observation!
The entire thing is like a fluffy-haired little dog.
Not your sister?
Aren’t you the one who claims to be the world’s top Human Puppet Grandmaster?
Why did you create such an abstract physical form for yourself?
Seeing Su Yuan’s surprised expression, Zhu Qingqing wasn’t surprised.
Lying with her limbs on the table, she stood up with this extremely abstract, uncolored physical form, and said calmly:
"No need to wonder, what stands before you is indeed my true form."
"You’re probably thinking, why am I using such a body as my true form."
"It’s no secret; only by transferring my soul into such an energy-conserving minimalist body can I ensure my survival through endless time without exhausting my power too quickly and perishing."
"But even though I’ve reduced my energy consumption to the minimum, after over ten thousand years of wear and tear, my cultivation and soul are still on the brink of collapse."
Su Yuan nodded in realization, then asked:
"What are you planning to do now? Are you planning to seize my body?"
Zhu Qingqing rolled her eyes at Su Yuan:
"I’m not that shallow."
"After the Zhu Yan White Bone Observation was sealed, my fellow sect members perished under the Immortal Tribulation, except for me, who managed to survive by altering my life form."
"I preserved my life not to live a second time, but to witness whether a genius will emerge surpassing me after Spiritual Energy revives once more."
Saying this, Zhu Qingqing looked at Su Yuan with solemn eyes: 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"And you, Su Yuan, you are the genius who surpasses me in Demon Talent."
"You are a natural demon seed, while I’m just a mundane talent living in a time without you."
Su Yuan: "..."
Well, I should really thank you for the compliment.
Zhu Qingqing paused, then continued:
"Su Yuan, after activating the inheritance array, what little power I had left is completely exhausted; my days are numbered."
"I really envy you, envy that you can learn so many demon techniques that are suitable for merging into human puppets."
"Before I completely fall, I have only one request..."
"Please kindly explain to me in detail your ideas on integrating new techniques to enhance human puppets."
Listening to the other party’s extremely sincere words, Su Yuan paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.
He pulled up a chair and sat in front of the fluffy-haired little dog, explaining in detail how to combine Ancient Corpse Refining with Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet.
And the brain-machine interface and other concepts Zhu Qingqing was most curious about, Su Yuan also tried his best to translate into Spiritual Runes to explain to her.
Two hours passed in a blink.
During this time, the Land of Inheritance beyond the first ring had completely lifted its restrictions, allowing Taibai Phecda and others inside to escape.
Only the first-ring area remained shrouded in a powerful array, preventing any disturbance of the conversation between the two.
"The world ten thousand years later is indeed wonderful; turns out there’s such a convenience as an artificial soul."
After listening to Su Yuan’s explanation, Zhu Qingqing nodded contentedly.
But then she sighed softly:
"If there had been artificial souls in my era, the intelligence and practicality of human puppets could have been elevated a notch."
"And various new materials, composite materials, are much stronger than what the artisans of our sect could craft by hand."
"With these technologies, our Zhu Yan White Bone Observation wouldn’t have stopped at just being among the Ancient Hundred Strong Demon Sect."
"The so-called Hundred Strong, but we aren’t even on the same level as the demon sects in the top ten or top five."
"Is this the limitation of the era? I’ve deeply realized it."
After expressing her sentiments, the fluffy-haired little dog stood up again and said:
"I have obtained what I wanted, and now I should pass my inheritance to you."
Su Yuan felt invigorated.
After telling stories for so long, finally, there was a reward.
Then Zhu Qingqing jumped off the table, leading Su Yuan to the bedside in the bedroom.
"I won’t bother introducing the advancement methods of Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet after Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Stage; they are all on the bookshelf on the second floor."
"With your talent, those old techniques are only for reference; you will eventually innovate."
"The only inheritance I left for the achievers is my own body."
Su Yuan, who had followed to the bedside, suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking somewhat odd.
So, what the system meant by Zhu Qingqing offering everything to the achievers, was literally offering everything!
But here’s the problem.
What use would an ancient female demon’s body be to me?
Donate it to a museum for display?
Or keep it at home as a life-sized figure?
Zhu Qingqing didn’t notice Su Yuan’s odd expression behind her; she explained as she walked:
"After transforming my life form, to prevent my original body from deteriorating, I turned her into a treasure."
"Don’t underestimate my body; it has the special dual cultivation physique of the Great Desire Immortal Body."
"If I hadn’t been born in Zhu Yan White Bone Observation, even at the Joyful Union Sect, I could have easily become a Saintess."
Saying this, Zhu Qingqing lifted her abstract little hand, which had no fingers, and pulled back the curtain, revealing the so-called treasure on the bed in front of Su Yuan.
It wasn’t the perfectly preserved ancient female demon’s body as Su Yuan imagined, but a doll instead.
A small, palm-sized doll placed on the pillow.
This doll was exquisitely crafted, dressed in a moon-white dress, in a style somewhat reminiscent of modern chibi figures.
The only pity is that the doll isn’t complete.
It’s missing a head.
"Where’s its head?"
