Chapter 438: Chapter 232 Spiritual Communication Characteristic_4

In Jing Country, only he could precisely discern the true essence of the Buddha Mantra’s power.

"Alright, I’ll go integrate it now."

Li Chengfeng led Zhou Xuan and Zhang Yifeng to find Lv Mingkun.

Senior Brother Five was now the Bone Elder Association’s designated slicer. Wearing a white coat, he was meticulously dissecting a corpse.

As Yun Ziliang would say, in the Tangkou of using tools as weapons, cultivating emotional connections with one’s tools is crucial.

Over the years, Lv Mingkun prepared endlessly for revenge, clutching his blade to sleep at night and practicing it in addition to Jingyi during the day.

Gradually, the Bamboo Leaf Blade became Senior Brother Five’s "lover."

So deeply bonded, the Bamboo Leaf Blade had long been attuned to Lv Mingkun’s spirit.

Thus, while the forensic Tangkou could boast practitioners with higher reputation, none could rival Lv Mingkun’s mastery of swordsmanship.

Lv Mingkun and Zhou Xuan became polar opposites in the Tangkou of using tools as weapons.

Zhou Xuan quietly approached and observed Lv Mingkun’s blade, flowing over the corpse like a waterfall or drifting clouds, effortlessly navigating its surface, and felt a sense of satisfaction.

There are times when exquisite skill brings a purely delightful sensory enjoyment.

"Senior Brother Five."

"Hmm?" Lv Mingkun’s hand halted with unerring precision, turning to glance at Zhou Xuan and said with a smile in his eyes, "Little junior, what brings you here?"

"Came to check on the Buddha Mantra’s progress. Senior Brother Five, your blade technique seems to have improved again?"

"Carving out five thousand strokes of Lingchi, I imbued it with hatred, breaking through the limitations of my swordsmanship. Now, even if the Autopsy Hall Master were reborn and stood before me, I’d ridicule his blade technique as trash fit only for the garbage bin."

"Senior Brother Five, I admire that pride of yours—it’s truly invigorating."

Zhou Xuan sincerely felt joy for Lv Mingkun.

Li Chengfeng chimed in, "These days, Lao Wu has been a tremendous help to the Bone Elder Association. Without him, those spiritual characteristics would certainly fail to be extracted by us Bone Elders."

"It’s the least I could do, it’s only right."

Lv Mingkun took a meticulously cleaned handkerchief, wiped the faint traces of oil from his Bamboo Leaf Blade, then asked the two, "You’ve come to find me—there must be a new task, right?"

"Indeed, there’s one: stitching together four spiritual characteristics."

"Stitching isn’t really my strong suit."

"It’s not stitching we need—it’s slicing blade margins on the spiritual characteristics, then using the back of the blade to reverse embed wedge-shaped Bone Nails into the margins."

Li Chengfeng explained the essential points of the upcoming procedure to Lv Mingkun and described the four spiritual characteristics in detail.

Upon hearing this, Lv Mingkun donned rubber gloves and began searching the tray holding dried sheepskin bags, extracting the four sheepskin pouches containing the spiritual characteristics Li Chengfeng had requested.

Senior Brother Five approached his tasks without the casualness of Jing Country’s other master craftsmen—who often treated their work separately from the chaos of their untidy and dirty workspaces.

Lv Mingkun, no matter what he used, always placed it in a fixed position, allowing no room for mess.

For instance, for sheepskin bags containing spiritual characteristics, he affixes labels indicating exactly what spiritual characteristic is inside,

along with the precise time the characteristic was extracted. Furthermore, he meticulously documents every detail in his notebook, including the specific features of the spiritual characteristic.

This exemplary habit earned Li Chengfeng’s high regard. Among the Bone Elder Association’s researchers, few matched Lv Mingkun’s level of diligence.

The four spiritual characteristics were extracted one by one:

Two eyes, a cerebral tissue beneath the brow, and a segment of leg bone.

"When a person undergoes spiritual communication, a structural anomaly occurs in a specific body part. That part is deemed the spiritual characteristic,

The two eyes: one displays white speckling, indicative of Detecting Ghost, while the other appears shrouded in mist, representing Qi Observation.

’Seeing Buddha’ does not affect the eye but instead transforms a section of cerebral tissue into something smooth and refined,

while the Dao Mark could manifest anywhere within the skeletal structure. In this case, the Dao Mark resides in the leg bone."

After Li Chengfeng and Zhou Xuan finished their explanation, they produced an ultra-thin needle as a pointer to indicate where blade margins would need to be carved while introducing the dimensions of the wedge-shaped bone needles.

Ensuring everything was foolproof, Lv Mingkun confirmed every detail repeatedly with Old Li before taking up the spiritual characteristics and decisively wielding his blade.

The tip of the Bamboo Leaf Blade, finer than a needle, was in the hands of someone who ensured precision at every stage of preparation but executed with unparalleled decisiveness.

In mere moments, the blade margins were carved. Then, using a finger bone fragment, Lv Mingkun cut several wedge-shaped bone strips, finely sharpening them to Li Chengfeng’s specifications in length and thickness. With the Bamboo Leaf Blade, he deftly picked up the Bone Nails and, with a flick of his wrist, embedded them in reverse into the blade margins.

To preserve the seal around the blade margins, he used the knife tip to carefully apply a touch of resin around the edges.

"Such meticulous craftsmanship."

Zhou Xuan gave Lv Mingkun an enthusiastic thumbs-up.

"Craftsmanship demands care and dedication." Lv Mingkun smiled as he resumed his work.

Li Chengfeng donned rubber gloves, seeking assistance to attach blood vessels to the spiritual characteristics embedded in the blade margins.

Not wanting to interrupt Lv Mingkun further, Zhou Xuan headed alone to the research institute, continuing to observe the Bone Elders and their linking of spiritual characteristics to corpses.

His observations revealed something unusual.

"The current connection strength is slightly stronger than when I first entered the research institute."

Though marginal, Zhou Xuan’s extraordinary Perception ensured it did not escape him...
