Chapter 516: Chapter 237: Refining the War Puppet!_2

Mu Dan lifted her right hand clad in lace white gloves, disdainfully covering her nose, "I really do not want to touch those fluffy fats."

Dragonfly Lady retorted, "Natural fat isn’t something synthetic skin can mimic in softness, why don’t you feel it yourself?"

"Is that all?" Master Wang asked.

Dragonfly Lady ate a piece of Blade Beast Meat, her eyes hesitant, but eventually she spoke:

"Actually, I have a piece of secret intelligence, about the structure of the underground buildings in Spiritual Ability City and an internal survey of the strength of hidden Spiritual Ability Users.

"I want to exchange this information with D5 for something."

"Although I have now turned to you, this is a transaction between me and D5, the Nature Faction and Fu Jian."

Wang Jixuan smiled and asked, "What do you want to exchange for?"

"A promise, fulfilling the political demands of the Nature Faction," Dragonfly Lady said, "We can cooperate with D5 to strike against the Dominion Faction... It’s actually carrying a great risk, we are the weaker party in Spiritual Ability City, but if the Dominion Faction is defeated by us, and we jointly resolve the Blade Beast crisis, the world will be at peace again, and the military won’t annihilate our Nature Faction."

Wang Jixuan fell silent.

This matter, he truly did not dare to speak rashly.

First, defeating the Blade Beasts was still a distant hope, but Wang Jixuan was confident about it.

As long as he could safely reach the Nascent Soul Realm, he was confident of surviving the Blade Beast onslaught; then things would be simple—he just needed to hide and practice in closed Cultivation, emerging at a higher realm to eradicate the Blade Beasts.

So, humans would defeat the Blade Beasts, at least in Wang Jixuan’s view.

Second, whether the human world post-peace could accommodate Spiritual Ability Users.

This was a topic likely to lead to bloodshed.

The human military was vigorously developing independent mechanical technology, and the birth of Spiritual Ability Users was accompanied by great sacrifices;

whether Spiritual Ability Users could survive in a world without Blade Beasts was indeed unknown.

"You can talk directly to Lao Fu about this."

"The result of the teachers’ discussions was that talking with you would be more effective," Dragonfly Lady’s gaze sharpened, "You represent the future."

"I can only represent myself."

Wang Jixuan picked up his glass and took a sip:

"Right now, we indeed need more support from the Nature Faction. I can feel it, after this conflict in Snow Mountain, both sides will surely make their moves.

"But such a big promise, even if I give it now, what if it is not fulfilled later? It has no binding force."

Dragonfly Lady curled her lip, "That is the predicament of the Nature Faction, we persist not to walk the path of ruling Human, reverence for Spiritual Energy, reverence for nature. There were also advocates in the past proposing negotiations with Blade Beasts, hoping for a demarcated coexistence, which later proved to be wishful thinking; Blade Beasts disdain to communicate with us...Actually, just your promise alone would garner full support for Fu Jian and yourself over here."

Wang Jixuan’s eyes flickered slightly.

A few minutes later, Master Wang chuckled lightly:

"You guys still talk to Lao Fu, I am not avoiding this issue, just that I do not want to bear responsibilities that offer no aid to my self-improvement.

"I do feel a sense of belonging to D5, and I will definitely help as much as I can.

"Fighting Blade Beasts, fighting evil Spiritual Ability Users, these are things I can and will do.

"As for the rest, I will not interfere."

Dragonfly Lady, puzzled, asked, "But the contributions you are making now are substantial, you have already begun to change the power structure of the human world..."

"As a Cultivator, I seek not fame or profits, let all benefits pass by, free and at ease," said Wang Jixuan.

Wang Jixuan took two skewers of roasted meat and handed them to Dragonfly Lady:

"Exorcising demons in troubled times, returning to the mountains in peace, that is my guiding principle."

"Ah well, I don’t understand but I respect it," said Dragonfly Lady.

Dragonfly Lady picked up the roasted meat and took a few bites, then turned her head and glanced at Tree Man Beta beside her, clicking her tongue in surprise:

"I never expected that those old generals could prolong their lives by eating Beta’s hair."

Wang Jixuan:...

That was a bit impolite to say.

This was a natural Spirit Grass substrate; placed in their Cultivation World, usually, it would receive elder treatment, protected like a sect treasure.

"Drink up! Later, I’ll refine a batch of conditioning Elixirs for you to give to your teachers."

"Thanks! Beta, keep up the good work and continue contributing to humanity."

Tree Man Beta raised the cup containing his drink, which was filled with plant nutrition liquid.

His life’s value was easily fulfilled.

...

After settling mundane matters and having a brief chat with Lingtong, Wang Jixuan announced he would be in closed Cultivation for a few days, and Mu Dan activated the do-not-disturb mode.

’Xing Dian’ kept sitting in the corner of the second-floor studio.

The mechanical maid brought over two screens, creating a simple chamber.

Wang Jixuan and ’Xing Dian’ sat facing each other.

This puppet body had been thoroughly cleaned by a Mechanical Body, dressed in a loose robe, and its missing leg and foot could later be outfitted with D5’s half-human mecha technology, with Mu Dan responsible for maintenance, providing a noticeable increase to Wang Jixuan’s own strength.

After careful consideration, Wang Jixuan thought of a way beneficial to his own cultivation.

He could use his own mana as a guide, using himself as a base, to draw the initially refined and impurity-filled mana from ’Xing Dian’s’ body into his own, completely refining it before sending it back into ’Xing Dian’s’ body.

In this way, his body could also benefit, rapidly increasing his total mana.

There was an obvious drawback to this method—it was mentally exhausting.

Wang Jixuan, currently distressed by insufficient cultivation, did not mind spending mental effort if it meant he could quickly enhance his strength.
