When Kunlun Mirror took down Wang Siqi, it used the [Soul Snatch] technique.
At this moment, with Lu Li's approval, the magic weapon activated this Divine Ability once again.
With a gentle suck, a cluster of dark blue light, resembling an electric arc, was extracted from Wang Naiwu's "Acupoint Yintang" and stored in the mirror.
This is the "Divine Soul," which does not contain the original owner's thoughts, but is simply a pure and magical energy.
As stated in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio," the Divine Soul has great uses.
They can create and operate magical artifacts, and even make mechanical puppets that resemble humans!
Wang Naiwu's "paper figures" should be the "mechanical puppets" mentioned in the book.
Although their direct combat strength is low, they can perform tasks like a living person and have extremely strong support capabilities!
Lu Li pondered, "If we could obtain the manufacturing method and equip them with guns, they would definitely be much more powerful than they are now."
"No way! Forget paper figures, let's just get the Terminator!"
The Terminator is an all-metal robot; if you add a six-barreled Gatling gun to it, it's far more powerful than any paper doll.
Lu Li had a good idea and couldn't help but look at the corpse of the Vase Person, hoping to find a useful secret manual...
However, due to excessive mental and physical exertion, he was too weak to move, so he leaned against a tree, closed his eyes, and rested in order to recover as quickly as possible.
Just then, a figure rushed towards them from afar; it was Xiao Cha.
She was drenched in sweat and breathing rapidly, indicating that she was quite exhausted.
Seeing Lu Li leaning against a tree without moving, it seemed as if something had happened.
The girl was immediately terrified and rushed over, urgently asking, "Hey, what's wrong!"
Lu Li was fine, but felt drowsy and didn't want to move.
Just as he was about to tell the girl that he was alright, something warm and soft was suddenly put into his mouth.
Before Lu Li could react to what this was, a large amount of Internal Breath surged in!
Its purity far surpassed that of the past, Lu Li's lost physical strength was quickly restored, while the dizziness in his mind also suddenly lessened.
He subconsciously licked his lips, savoring the salty, savory, and slightly sweet taste, and then opened his eyes.
I was just about to see what Xiao Cha was feeding, but all I saw was the other person wrapping their clothes up and their big, concerned eyes:
Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?
"I'm fine, um..."
Lu Li was about to ask Luo Heng how he was doing when he saw that the steel whip at the girl's waist was stained with purplish-black blood, mixed with some white solids...
There was no need to ask anymore, but Xiao Cha took the initiative to say:
"You killed that Demon Person, and my father suddenly froze... so I saw him off."
Immediately afterwards, the girl walked towards the corpse of the "Vase Person," her eyes cold as she said:
"These kinds of people are usually punished by the sect because they've committed serious mistakes. Look what else is in this vase!"
With a flick of her steel whip, she shattered the vase with a loud crack, revealing a hunched and deformed corpse.
Meanwhile, three books fell out!
Lu Li picked it up and saw that it contained the <Profound Yellow One Qi Great Capture>, <Spirit Binding and General Dispatch>, and <Corpse Refining Technique>.
These correspond to the three abilities of Vase Person, and are also the Daoist arts that are urgently needed!
Xiao Cha smiled, her face pale, and said, "Great, just what you need."
"Three books came at once, what a fruitful harvest! It was worth the hard work."
Lu Li tucked the book into his robes and looked at Xiao Cha, saying:
"Before you leave, cremate the body. We have fuel and offerings readily available."
~~~~~~~~~~~
After cleaning up the battlefield, the two dragged the corpse of the Vase Person back to [Xiang Yi Garden].
After making sure no one was inside, they set it on fire to cremate the Pregnant Woman Zombie and Luo Heng.
Using the entire estate as fuel, the cremation was nothing short of extravagant.
Amidst the raging flames, the zombies initially remained unresponsive, like stones.
But after a short while, it reached its ignition point and quickly melted away, vanishing into nothingness.
Xiao Cha stared blankly at the flames and whispered:
"When I was a child in the countryside, I saw corpses rise from the dead. According to custom, the deceased's children would help with the burial and cremation. My father... he can finally rest in peace."
Lu Li tossed the Vase Person corpse in front of him, then bowed deeply before the flames and proclaimed:
"Uncle Luo, it is a great pity that I never got to meet you in my lifetime. I offer this memorial as a token of my respect! You have a wonderful daughter who will surely make you proud!"
Whether by coincidence or not, a sudden gust of wind blew in as soon as the words were spoken, and the fire suddenly surged even more fiercely.
Meanwhile, a convoy appeared in the far distance, and countless figures leaped and bounded in the moonlight.
The manor isn't far from the city; the fire must have been spotted!
Xiao Cha's eyes reddened, and she said, "Father, I have to go..."
She carried Lu Li on her back and ran into the mountains without looking back.
The girl had so much more to say, but now it could only turn into tears.
A few drops splashed onto Lu Li's face, but he didn't care.
At this moment, Lu Li clearly saw—
A blue, electric-like spark flew out from the flames and surged into the steel whip at Xiao Cha's waist!
"Xiao Cha... your steel whip..."
Lu Li offered a reminder, but Xiao Cha looked down with a puzzled expression... The girl couldn't see this magical scene!
Just then, the points of light converged completely.
Suddenly, the steel whip gleamed, and all the grime vanished instantly, turning from its original dark blue-green color to silver-white!
Xiao Cha saw this scene clearly and was completely dumbfounded!
Soon, a thought struck her, and she exclaimed with delight:
"It's Father! Father has turned the whip into a magical artifact!"
This steel whip was originally Luo Heng's personal weapon. Perhaps it was longing, or perhaps it was fatherly love, that gave rise to this incredible scene!
Lu Li's face was filled with amazement, and he was also very glad to have witnessed this scene.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The clouds in the sky dispersed, and a bright moon shone in the sky.
Xiao Cha's face was no longer sad. She carried Lu Li silently back to the clinic.
Wan Qing had been waiting for a long time and had prepared hot water and hot food.
The aroma of hand-pulled noodles with stir-fried shredded potatoes and meat made Lu Li's mouth water; he suddenly felt incredibly hungry.
Xiao Cha also said, "I'm starving! Thank goodness Wan Qing is here!"
Wan Qing smiled and said, "You guys eat first, I'll go boil some water so you can take a bath."
She must have smelled the sweat on the two of them, because after saying that, she got up and went to boil water.
Lu Li was eating, he suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Xiao Cha, what did you feed me when you found me? It worked amazingly!"
Xiao Cha was eating when she suddenly choked. After coughing twice, she said irritably, "I'm feeding you your butt!"
"Butt? The texture doesn't feel right..."
Lu Li was a little confused when he saw Xiao Cha suddenly lean over and kiss him on the cheek.
"This is to thank you for killing that Demon Person, allowing my father to rest in peace."
The girl muttered something under her breath, then blushed and continued eating, not daring to lift her head.
Lu Li rubbed his face and chuckled to himself for a while...
~~~~~~~~~~
While Lu Li was having a good time, some people were already struggling to make ends meet.
At this moment, a dozen or so vintage cars are gathered around the ruins of [Xiang Yi Garden], now reduced to ashes.
The car headlights were on, illuminating the area as if it were daytime.
A burly, middle-aged man in a pinstripe suit stood solemnly.
His many subordinates stood far to one side, none daring to approach.
This middle-aged man was none other than Ye Zhichao, the head of the Tooth Brokerage.
In just two days, he first experienced the pain of losing his son, and now he has offended a powerful force that he cannot afford to offend!
A true disciple of the Jiu Shan Sect came to discuss business, and died...
He died on his own estate! And not a single clue could be found!
"Oh shit!"
Ye Zhichao casually threw a punch, sending a one-ton car flying more than ten meters before it crashed into the rubble, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Prepare generous gifts and come with me to the Jiu Shan Sect to apologize."
