The next morning, Yu Ye demonstrated the basic exercises she had learned to Ji Qinglin, which were nothing more than Bagua Palm, Heart Piercing Leg, and Ladder Cloud Leap, among other fundamental martial arts.

However, with the combination of the advanced Meridian Set and technique software, one could reach the level that ordinary people would take decades of hard work to achieve in a short period.

"Not bad, you're already quite proficient."

Ji Qinglin himself didn't know them, but he had seen many low-level Qi Practitioners from the merchant association use them, so he had his own judgment.

While speaking, he used Divine Sense Observation to record Yu Ye's techniques. These were relatively simple and not worth wasting data to demonstrate, but recording them for analysis and deconstruction would help him understand meridians.

Anyway, the chairman had promised to support Yu Ye's cultivation, and the merchant association could pay for some advanced techniques for Yu Ye. When the time came, he could scan and learn along with her.

"Master, what techniques should I cultivate next?"

Yu Ye herself was clear that with just these basic techniques, she might not even qualify for the Cultivation Grand Competition.

"This Master will take you to a place where you can definitely find what suits you best."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ye proactively picked up the motorcycle helmet and keys from the table, clearly wanting to test the new bike's power first.

The Master and disciple, dressed in black trench coats and leather jackets with helmets on, looked quite like a pair of urban rangers.

Night Owl sped out of the alley, the immense thrust forcing Ji Qinglin, who was sitting behind, to reach out and wrap his arms around Yu Ye's slender waist.

At the moment of contact, Yu Ye's body visibly twitched, but she didn't say anything. However, as vehicles, turns, and intersections appeared ahead, the Night Owl would stop or turn, and Ji Qinglin's balancing hands would occasionally slip.

At an intersection, there was a sudden acceleration, and Ji Qinglin's hands accidentally slid down, feeling something inappropriate before immediately returning to her waist, but he still heard a muffled groan from inside Yu Ye's helmet.

Crazy Night: This is the reason you wanted to be the driver, to personally experience the weak points of the human body of someone who just learned?

Yu Ye: I didn't do it on purpose! Under Ji Qinglin's guidance, Yu Ye rode the bike to the North New District, where there were significantly more Machina on the streets than in Xin Dong Street. Eventually, Night Owl stopped in front of a somewhat old-looking supermarket.

Most of the people on the road had mechanical limbs exposed, it was hard to tell whether they were people who had completely abandoned their physical bodies or Machina who had gained self-awareness. Coming from Xin Dong Street, it felt like arriving in another world.

"Master, there are so many robots here."

"After all, the North New District has the highest tolerance for machines. Although these machines look cold, many are actually easier to deal with than people."

Yu Ye turned her head and saw a huge stone tablet standing in the middle of the road opposite the supermarket, with several lines of words engraved on it in vigorous strokes: Fiber Optic Bodhi Tree, Website Mirror Stand.

I am not a living being, where do I attract dust? "Master, what is that?"

"That is said to have been written by the first robot to gain self-awareness, representing the awakening of self-consciousness."

"With the rapid development of Machina, aren't you afraid they will rule humanity?"

"Even now, there are only so many registered Machina with self-awareness. Although their Machina consciousness can be passed down, it is still very difficult to create new Machina with self-awareness. Forget about ruling, this kind of peaceful coexistence is already very good. Just treat them as friends of a different race."

Yu Ye followed her Master into the supermarket. The central area was filled with stalls selling various mechanical parts, with larger shops distributed around the perimeter.

Ji Qinglin led Yu Ye straight to a small shop on the right with a sign that read "Bionic Body Passed Down Three Generations, It's Still Here When You're Gone."

As soon as they reached the door, the camera recognized their identities, and the display screen on the door showed a smiling emoji, followed by a rough man's voice saying enthusiastically, "Yo, Brother Ji, it's been a while since you've graced us with your presence."

Inside the shop, there was only a reception desk and a simple counter. Behind the counter, a burly man with a receding hairline and a beer belly was lying on a metal recliner.

The burly man was very enthusiastic when he saw Ji Qinglin, smiling as he got up to greet him, although his voice sounded slightly mechanical:

"Brother Ji, what are you looking for this time? I've saved a lot of old-fashioned antiques for you."

"Thanks, HuaiMin, no rush this time. First, give my disciple a checkup to see which techniques are most suitable for her to cultivate."

"You've taken a disciple? Congratulations, congratulations! Let me prepare a bit. The checkup can start in two minutes."

As he spoke, the shelves behind him split open like a door, and the burly man walked straight in.

Yu Ye whispered, "Master, what's the name of that uncle? Why does his voice sound so strange?"

"His name is Zhang HuaiMin. His voice is strange because he's a robot. The appearance is just a silicone skin that he made. Sometimes he tries different skins. The last time I came, he was dressed as a wealthy lady."

"It feels no different from a shop run by a person, except the shop is a bit small."

"Actually, there's a large warehouse connected to the back of this shop, filled with a lot of second-hand goods and relics from the old era. He's also an old partner of mine. Besides, the spirit root detection system here is very accurate and can provide the best cultivation plan based on the user's physique."

Just then, the counter and shelves split apart to the left and right, forming a passage. Zhang HuaiMin came out and beckoned, "That beautiful lady, please lie down on the bed inside. The test results will be out in about ten minutes."

While Yu Ye went to get tested, Ji Qinglin called Zhang HuaiMin aside and said:

"HuaiMin, same as always, buy some relics from the old era."

"That's easy, but the things from the old era are very mixed. Since you don't have specific requirements or clues, I can only randomly pick some for you each time."

Ji Qinglin was also very clear that the reason he couldn't find anything helpful from Zhang HuaiMin in the past was because he had no clues. But this time was different. He took out several original images of the mobile phone operation manual that he had restored and handed them to Zhang HuaiMin.

"Help me find any relics from the old era that are related to this pattern."

Zhang HuaiMin took it and carefully examined it, without saying a word, but Ji Qinglin knew that he was scanning and searching.

After waiting for about five minutes, Zhang HuaiMin slowly said, "I only found one thing related to the pattern on it."

Sure enough, one step leads to another. Ji Qinglin said with slight excitement:

"One is fine! Bring it here for me to see!"

After Zhang HuaiMin entered a string of codes, the conveyor belt directly sent the item to the counter.

It was a black box, slightly larger than a tea canister. At first, Ji Qinglin thought it was a metal box, but when he held it in his hand, he realized that the box was actually made of tempered glass. It was filled with black powder, and at the bottom of the box, he indeed found a logo similar to the mobile phone pattern, which was also marked with the four words "Eternal Dao Heart".

Ji Qinglin wanted to open it to see what was inside, but found that the box had no opening or lid at all; it was completely sealed.
