Chapter 852: The effect of the faceless puppet, all seven orifices belong to it!

“A faceless puppet, somewhat interesting.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the transparent faceless puppet before him, nodding slightly, finding the Puppet’s function quite good.

Though useless to him,

it was very practical for the Lu Family’s Disciples.

It could be used to simulate the Cultivation of Lu Family Disciples.

Especially during critical stages like Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment and Core Formation.

It could preemptively reveal various problems that might arise during future Cultivation processes.

“Moreover, this faceless puppet seems to pair well with the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror.”

Lu Changsheng lightly pinched his chin, thinking of a High Grade Magic Treasure, the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror, that he had drawn in his early years.

This functional Magic Treasure, in some aspects, shared a similar purpose with the faceless puppet.

It could discern the meridians and acupoints of the human body and analyze the operational routes of Cultivation Techniques.

It could also teach and assist others in Cultivation through the Magic Treasure.

The only drawback was that it was extremely labor-intensive.

Not only did it require a Core Formation cultivator to activate it,

but to teach and assist others in Cultivation, one also needed to master the Cultivation Technique being taught.

And possess certain insights and understanding.

His son, Lu Ping’an, had delayed his Cultivation precisely because he had spent a great deal of time and energy on this aspect.

To teach and solve the Cultivation problems of the Lu Family Disciples, he even researched Cultivation Techniques like the Five Elements Yuanhe Sutra and the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture for a long time.

Now, seeing this faceless puppet, a thought emerged in Lu Changsheng’s mind.

To use the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror to examine the bodies and Cultivation progress of the Lu Family Disciples.

Then, transmit the obtained physical data, as well as the Cultivation Technique they were Cultivating or preparing to Cultivate, into the faceless puppet for simulated Cultivation.

Simulate directly from Refining Qi Stage - First Level to Foundation Establishment Stage!

Or from Foundation Establishment Stage - First Level to Golden Core Realm!

This way, the Lu Family Disciples could, through the Puppet, clearly and intuitively understand their Cultivation status.

Existing problems, hidden dangers;

What potential problems might arise in the future, requiring extra attention;

Which Cultivation Technique is more compatible with them?

All of this could be clearly understood with the help of the faceless puppet.

Minor problems could be addressed by consulting the academy lecturers.

Major problems could be reported when the Family’s Legacy Elder conducted inspections.

At that time, the Family’s Legacy Elder could provide more in-depth guidance and instruction on the Disciple’s problems and Cultivation status through the faceless puppet and the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror.

For Lu Family Disciples who had not yet begun Cultivation,

they could first Cultivate elemental-less basic Cultivation Techniques to draw Qi into their bodies.

Then, using the faceless puppet and the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror, they could find the most suitable Cultivation Technique, avoiding detours and the need to switch to other Cultivation Techniques in the future.

“The only problem is that one faceless puppet is far from enough.”

Lu Changsheng realized that the biggest problem with doing this was the insufficient number of faceless puppets.

Currently, there was only one faceless puppet.

However, the Lu Family had hundreds of Disciples.

As the Family continued to develop, their numbers would only increase in the future, constantly rising.

One faceless puppet simply could not meet the usage demands of the many Lu Family Disciples.

“Moreover, activating the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror is also an issue.”

Although the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror was a functional Magic Treasure with a low activation threshold, it still required a Core Formation cultivator to activate it.

Lu Changsheng’s idea was to save as much time and effort as possible.

No longer needing a dedicated person to spend excessive time and energy overseeing the Cultivation of Lu Family Disciples as was currently the case.

If a Core Formation cultivator had to constantly assist in activating the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror, it would be meaningless, even counterproductive!

“As a High Grade Magic Treasure, the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror can be nurtured with a hint of spirituality through the Divine Machine Artifact Refining Art in the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements Art, allowing it to advance to a Spirit Treasure. Then, a Formation spiritual platform can be built, connected to a Spiritual Vein, enabling it to operate autonomously.”

As a Fourth-Tier Artifact Refiner, Lu Changsheng’s Artifact Refining skill was very high.

After a brief thought, a solution to the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror’s activation problem emerged in his mind.

The only issue with this method was that it was quite expensive.

It required upgrading a High Grade Magic Treasure to a Spirit Treasure.

But for Old Ancestor Lu, who had abundant wealth, it was not a difficult task.

It was even harder for him to find the time to do this.

Compared to the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror, the biggest challenge currently lay in the number of faceless puppets.

“At that time, I’ll have Little Yan research this faceless puppet to see if it can be replicated.”

Old Ancestor Lu mused inwardly.

He was currently busy with matters and had no time to research the Dao of Puppets.

He planned to have Qian Zhuyan, this Prodigy of the Puppet Dao, research and attempt to replicate it.

It didn’t need to reach the level of this faceless puppet.

As long as a Second-Tier Puppet could be replicated, it would be sufficient to meet the Cultivation needs of most of the Lu Family’s Qi Refining Disciples.

“If it can be replicated, such a Puppet will certainly have great market prospects.”

As a Nascent Soul cultivator with extraordinary vision, Lu Changsheng also realized the immense commercial value of the faceless puppet.

Any Family force would be willing to spend heavily to purchase it.

Especially large Sect forces.

Besides teaching and cultivating Disciples, they were also keen on deducing, optimizing, and creating Cultivation Techniques.

If they possessed a faceless puppet, they could put many novel and bold ideas into practice on the Puppet.

This could greatly improve the research efficiency of Cultivation Techniques.

However, Lu Changsheng merely thought about such matters casually and didn’t pay too much attention to them.

Compared to commercial value, the Cultivation status of his own Disciples was his current concern.

Moreover, whether Qian Zhuyan could replicate the faceless puppet was still an unknown.

Lu Changsheng placed the faceless puppet into his storage ring, then imprinted and recorded the contents of the Seamless Heavenly Robe Cultivation Technique into a Jade Slip. After that, he walked out of Chang Sheng Hall and found his daughter, Lu Linghe.

He intended to use her to test the actual effect of the faceless puppet.

“Daddy, what is this?”

Lu Linghe, in a red dress, with a delicate and lovely face, looked at the transparent faceless puppet, which was slightly taller than herself, and asked.

“This is a faceless puppet, it can simulate Cultivation and Breakthroughs.”

Lu Changsheng introduced it to his daughter.

Then, he transmitted his daughter’s physical data into the faceless puppet.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could discern his daughter’s physical condition and the Cultivation Technique she was Cultivating without the aid of the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror.

As Lu Changsheng’s Divine Sense connected with the faceless puppet and transmitted his daughter Lu Linghe’s data,

one could see that within the Puppet, which seemed cast from crystal, the internal organs, meridians, and bones gradually appeared.

Finally, the face without features transformed into a face identical to Lu Linghe’s.

Only, the small face was cold and indifferent, devoid of life and warmth.

“Wow!” Lu Linghe looked at the faceless puppet with a face similar to her own, immediately showing a look of astonishment, her mouth agape in an ‘O’ shape.

Then, blinking her large eyes, she asked Lu Changsheng, “Daddy, can I touch this Puppet?”

“As long as you don’t break it.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

Although this faceless puppet had no combat ability, as a Third-Tier Puppet, its material was very hard.

Unless a Core Formation cultivator or a False Core Cultivator acted with full force, it would be difficult to damage it.

Lu Linghe immediately extended her fair, tender hand to pinch the faceless puppet’s cheek.

It was cold and stiff.

Completely unlike her own cheek, which was smooth and soft.

After observing for a moment, she saw the faceless puppet, just like her in her daily life, sit cross-legged and begin to circulate the Diamond Bright King Art, with Spiritual Qi circulating throughout its body.

“Indeed, simulation is just simulation.”

Lu Changsheng observed the Spiritual Qi circulating within the faceless puppet, which merely followed the operational route of the Diamond Bright King Art, completely unable to simulate similar magical power.

Moreover, the intensity of this Spiritual Qi was at most one-tenth, or even one-hundredth, of what a Cultivator would experience during their own Cultivation.

From this, it could be seen that this simulated Cultivation process could only serve as a general reference data and could not achieve complete precision.

“Eh, Daddy, this part seems different!”

Lu Linghe carefully watched the faceless puppet Cultivate, pointing out several differences from her own daily Cultivation.

Lu Changsheng had his daughter Cultivate and compare, discovering the problem lay with the three buddha bone relics on his daughter’s body.

These three buddha bone relics greatly enhanced his daughter’s Cultivation.

Not only did they help her Cultivate, but even if there were slight deviations in the Cultivation process that might cause hidden dangers, they would form a wave of Buddhist light that would perfectly resolve them.

It was precisely because of this that her actual Cultivation differed slightly from the faceless puppet’s simulation process.

“Such external objects will severely affect the simulation process and results of the faceless puppet.”

Lu Changsheng mused inwardly, attempting to transmit the data of the three buddha bone relics into the faceless puppet.

However, the grade of the three buddha bone relics was too high.

This caused deviations in the transmitted data, making precise simulation impossible.

“A Third-Tier Puppet is still insufficient; only a Fourth-Tier faceless puppet can perfectly simulate.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head lightly, feeling that this faceless puppet could only simulate ordinary Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

If one had even a few Third-Tier treasures on them, it would be impossible to simulate accurately.

“Xiao He, try transmitting your Zen Dream Bodhi Art into it.”

Lu Changsheng taught his daughter how to use this faceless puppet.

He had her connect her Divine Sense to the Puppet and transmit the Divine Sense Cultivation Technique she had obtained from the buddha bone relic, to see if there were any problems in the Cultivation process.

“Okay!” Lu Linghe immediately responded excitedly.

Her small face earnestly looked at the faceless puppet, connecting her Divine Sense, transmitting the Zen Dream Bodhi Art she Cultivated, and attempting to simulate Cultivation.

She had Cultivated this Zen Dream Bodhi Art for many years and was already perfectly familiar with it.

During the transmission to the faceless puppet, the situation was the same as with the Diamond Bright King Art; it was only affected by the three buddha bone relics, resulting in slight differences and being smoother.

If there was a problem, it was that this Cultivation Technique only went up to the Golden Core Realm, and then there was nothing more.

On one hand, the faceless puppet’s capabilities were limited.

On the other hand, Lu Linghe’s Cultivation Technique could indeed only be Cultivated up to the Golden Core Realm.

“Sigh,” Lu Changsheng saw that this Cultivation Technique was very suitable for his daughter, and he felt a little ashamed.

This Divine Sense Cultivation Technique was obtained by his daughter from the buddha bone relic he had won in a lottery.

There might have been subsequent Legacies and other Cultivation Techniques within it.

But in order to Cultivate the Vatican Devil True Saint Art, he had asked for this buddha bone relic back from his daughter, which resulted in there being no continuation.

“Daddy, why are you suddenly sighing?”

Lu Linghe saw her Daddy looking at her with some apology, sighing softly, and immediately tilted her head, asking with concern.

“If Daddy hadn’t used that Buddhist bead with the golden old man, Xiao He might have been able to obtain the subsequent Cultivation Technique.”

Lu Changsheng gently stroked his daughter’s head and said warmly.

“It’s okay, Daddy.”

Lu Linghe tilted her head, saying with a bright and lovely smile, “The Buddhist bead was originally for Daddy to keep for Xiao He.”

Saying that, she seemed to be presenting a treasure, taking out the three Buddhist beads hanging around her neck, and said with sparkling eyes, “Daddy, Xiao He has always kept these three Buddhist beads very well. If you need them, you can take them anytime.”

Although these three buddha bone relics helped her greatly.

Constantly nourishing her Physical Body, magical power, and Dao foundation.

Yet, facing the three precious buddha bone relics, she showed no reluctance at all.

“It’s fine, Daddy doesn’t need them now, Xiao He, you keep them safe.”

Although Lu Changsheng could use such buddha bone relics to Cultivate the Vatican Devil True Saint Art,

his Body Refining had already broken through to the Fourth-Tier Middle Stage, and the effect of these three buddha bone relics was truly limited.

It was better to let his daughter, Lu Linghe, keep them.

According to his judgment, the benefits and nourishment brought by these three buddha bone relics would be enough to last until his daughter reached the Core Formation Middle Stage or Late Stage.

If it weren’t for such buddha bone relics being too rare, Lu Changsheng would even want to get his daughter a string of thirty-six.

In that case, she could truly Cultivate even while lying down.

“Mm-hmm, Daddy, when you need them, you must tell me.”

Lu Linghe said with a sweet and adorable expression, hoping that Lu Changsheng would definitely tell her when he needed them.

“Okay~” A warm current surged in Lu Changsheng’s heart.

Then, he retrieved the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror from his son Lu Ping’an and began to teach his daughter the subsequent chapters and Core Formation secret arts of the Diamond Bright King Art.

He hadn’t taught his daughter the subsequent Cultivation Technique before, partly due to limited time, and partly because his daughter Lu Linghe was somewhat “single-threaded” in her Cultivation.

If too much was taught, she could easily become confused and would need supervision.

Decades had passed, and his daughter was still like this.

Fortunately, he had the Dongxuan Treasure Mirror.

Under Lu Changsheng’s careful guidance, Lu Linghe gradually gained an initial understanding of the subsequent Cultivation Technique.

During this process, Lu Changsheng used the faceless puppet to simulate his daughter Lu Linghe’s Breakthrough to Core Formation.

Although his daughter Lu Linghe was simple-minded and had not experienced much hardship,

in the faceless puppet’s Core Formation simulation, she easily broke through to Core Formation and received a Fourth-Grade True Core evaluation.

“With the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, the essence of the sun and moon, and the enhancement of the three buddha bone relics, a High Grade Golden Core is not a problem.”

Lu Changsheng, however, believed that after his daughter was fully prepared, she would at least achieve a High Grade Golden Core.

Firstly, his daughter Lu Linghe’s talent was excellent.

First-Grade Spiritual Root.

Incomplete Dragon’s Roar Body.

Although this Dragon’s Roar Body was half-crippled and, after he reversed and resolved it, its effect was like the worst Medium Grade spiritual body,

such talent already possessed the potential for Core Formation.

Once the Core Formation secret art was thoroughly Cultivated, and with the aid of spiritual items like the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit and Heavenly Dew, it would be enough to help her cross the threshold from Medium Grade True Core to High Grade Golden Core.

Watching his daughter’s small face seriously and slowly Cultivate the Core Formation secret art,

Lu Changsheng thought of her early failure in Cultivating Samatha-gupta.

Otherwise, with the help of the accompanying Magic Treasure to balance her Dragon’s Roar Body, her talent could have been raised by two more levels.

He mused, perhaps he should give the Dharma Seed, Seven Apertures Exquisite, which had been gathering dust, to his daughter Lu Linghe.

The other three Dharma Seeds, shortly after he obtained them through the lottery, he immediately gave to his children.

Only the Dharma Seed, Seven Apertures Exquisite, due to its excessive side effects, had always been a dilemma, and he hadn’t given it out.

Thinking that his daughter Lu Linghe stayed at Lu for a long time and never went out alone, Lu Changsheng felt that fusing this Dharma Seed would be fine.

Mainly, the earlier a Dharma Seed was fused, the better the effect.

It could greatly enhance a person’s growth potential.

Moreover, calculating the time, this Dharma Seed had been in his storage ring for over twenty years.

If it continued to be left unused, it would likely continue to gather dust; it would be better to give it directly to his daughter Lu Linghe.

Besides, in his early years, he had also leaned towards giving the Seven Apertures Exquisite to this daughter.

“Xiao He.”

After making up his mind, Lu Changsheng lightly flipped his palm, and a light red, heart-shaped ball of light appeared in his palm.
