Chapter 215: Chapter 194: Fumo Vajra (216,000 words)_1

A note that doesn’t count towards the word count: There was a small debate in the book review section yesterday about Lu Ban and Mozi, and I would like to clarify it here.

First, in history, there was no Gongsun family among the Hundred Schools of Thought; this is only the setting of "Qin’s Moon". I have written about it in previous books, so please do not apply it to this book.

Second, the story of Gongsun Ban fighting against Mozi comes from "Mozi". It is an addition by later generations of Mozi to promote Mozi School’s thought.

Third, Gongsun Ban had no intention to kill Mozi, he only said, "I know how to oppose you, but I will not speak."

Fourth, the setting in this book is that both men have mutual admiration, and Gongsun Ban was convinced by Mozi, thus joining the Mozi School.

Fifth, the subsequent part of the book may contain a lot of content about the Mozi School, a fact that I am very aware of. And that’s why I am specifically mentioning it.

Now, let’s get back to the story:

※※※※

The medium-grade magical instrument that Li Xuan exchanged from the Treasure Tower was a Heart Protection Mirror. This was a new item in the Treasure Tower, which could be mounted on the chest of the ’Liudao Fumo Armor’ to increase its defensive ability and thunder style divine power.

Then, his Liudao Fumo Armor also needed to be replaced. Although the official appointment document promoting him to the 6th-rank official Fumo Colonel has not yet been issued, the Chief of Jigong Tower has given him a voucher to exchange for the colonel-level Liudao Fumo Armor.

Its defense capability is stronger, and the decorations on the shoulder guards and animal patterns on the chest have been replaced with ’Biao’. It is a ferocious tiger image, also known as "of the three tiger cubs, one must be a Biao"

Although this Liudao Fumo Armor was not made specifically for him, it fits perfectly. He wore the ’Kuiniu luminous armor’ on the inner layer, and the two layers of armor fitted seamlessly together.

The key thing is that this armor enhances the ice and thunder methods.

Then he exchanged the Organ Puppet from the Mechanism Tower.

This is a huge iron figure that is two zhangs tall. The entire body is made of steel, with a very robust body, and is also very heavy. Li Xuan, following the instructions of the chief of the Mechanism Tower, sealed his Zhenyuan and Divine Consciousness into it, and then he was able to control it.

Despite its ’silly’ appearance and clanging noise when walking, its running speed is not slow.

Li Xuan tried to control it to deliver a punch, and the strength level indeed matched that of the seventh house level. But because this puppet had not mastered the "Shi" of Martial Law, the actual power only reach the peak of the sixth house level.

It also has a simple intelligence. Normally, Li Xuan doesn’t need to control it; it would follow Li Xuan around or stand guard motionless. If an enemy attacks it or Li Xuan, it will respond accordingly.

It has two sets of fixed martial arts routines, the ’36 Secrets great Fumo Sword’ and the ’Tiangang Pomo Technique’. It can be used according to the situation, but the specific effect has not yet been observed by Li Xuan.

Also, worth mentioning is that the words ’Fumo Vajra’ were written on the chest of this Organ Puppet. This was presumably the name given to it by the contemporary Lu Ban.

Li Xuan felt amazed; he really didn’t know how the Mechanist in this world did it.

This level of artificial intelligence, even the world he came from, hadn’t been able to accomplish. Those so-called ’robots’ even had difficulty in walking normally.

Then there’s the fuel, a blue block of ice the size of a fist, hidden in the power furnace of the Organ Puppet’s chest, known as ’Flame Ice’.

The reason his elder brother Li Yan was able to integrate fire and ice was by envisioning this particular object.

Li Xuan suspected that it was flammable ice. However, although its physical characteristics were similar to flammable ice, the energy it provided was much greater than that of flammable ice. And it has a long endurability. If no battle occurs, Li Xuan only needs to replace the fuel once a month.

However, this ’Flame Ice’ is very expensive, the size of only a fist cost two thousand pieces of silver and Li Xuan had to pay for it on his own.

Ordinary people would probably not be able to afford this thing.

Li Xuan stayed in the Zhuque Hall that night, until the next day when Li Dalu informed him that everything had returned to normal at home, only then did he dare to return.

It is said that the lights in the main house of the Earl’s mansion were on for the whole night. When Earl Chengyi came out of the house in the early morning, his face was ashen.

Li Xuan even noticed that the blood stains on Li Chengji’s face seemed to have increased. He wanted to ask the old man if the grapevine had fallen again? He barely managed to hold back.

When he visited Li Yan and his wife and was about to return to his room, he was stopped by Leng Yurou.

"Is this Organ Puppet you have from the Zhuque Hall?"

"You guessed it."

Li Xuan was very proud, controlling the Organ Puppet to wave his fist, "How about it? Isn’t it impressive?"

Because of this ’Fumo Vajra’, he is now the most impressive lad in the entire Earl’s mansion, attracting all eyes wherever he goes.

"Yes, it’s quite tall. No wonder I heard that you made trouble again. The servants have to repair several doors today, and they have to make them taller."

As Leng Yurou made Li Xuan feel embarrassed with her words, she was also examining ’Fumo Vajra’ from top to bottom. Then she shook her head slightly, "Follow me."

Li Xuan wondered if they were going to practice ’Motian Dalunzhuan’? But yesterday evening, he took a break and didn’t use the Liudao Renyuan Elixir, and really didn’t want to go through that again.

However, the direction Leng Yurou was going wasn’t their practice room. She led him through twists and turns, and they ended up in a basement hidden under a rockery in the backyard.

Li Xuan was surprised to find out for the first time that there was such a place in the mansion.

And the sight inside was also startling; there were various smelting tools, large and small hammers, wrenches, saws, etc., all available. Near the south side were piled a few Organ Puppets, and the wall next to it was hanging with mechanical arms and feet and various types of metal round copper and strange objects.
