Inside the familiar woodworking workshop, Feng Xue opened the coffin that Nezha had brought. Looking at the scene inside, the temperature in the room immediately rose slightly.

"Good heavens, are you sure you only punched him once, and didn't kill him and then desecrate his corpse?"

Looking at the Taiyi Zhenren that Feng Xue couldn't even put together, he was filled with utter disbelief. He had only added Basic Fist Technique and the Mindless Divine Power manual to the Comprehensive Guide to Trendy Woodworking as a joke...

"No! I just grasped the spiritual application methods and fist techniques attached to the Mohism Mechanical Arts in the Comprehensive Guide to Trendy Woodworking, and then I punched him! Although I was really angry at the time, I really didn't intend to kill him! Okay, I did want to kill him, but I didn't expect to actually kill him with one punch! I really only threw one punch!"

Nezha's face turned green upon hearing Feng Xue's words, and he shook his head repeatedly in denial. Feng Xue, seeing this, was speechless. Looking at the corpse of Taiyi Zhenren, she sighed:

"You must have been very, very angry at the time..."

"Yes, he killed the bear, the little fish, and the two tigers. If Xiao Mu hadn't pulled me back at the crucial moment, I would have died too!" Nezha nodded vigorously, seemingly still accusing Taiyi Zhenren of being inhuman.

Feng Xue was slightly surprised by this, because he couldn't understand what was wrong with Taiyi Zhenren that made him want to kill Nezha.

After a slight sigh, he casually took out a Coffin board made of Soul Gathering Wood, placed it on the table, and said to Nezha:

"This is made of Soul Nurturing Wood. Use it to make a memorial tablet, and stuff the soul and true spirit of Taiyi Zhenren into it. Just force it in; there's no skill involved. After that, follow the method I taught you to make a Wooden Person, and then connect the control mechanism to the memorial tablet with spiritual energy."

"It's that simple?" Nezha was slightly incredulous, but Feng Xue shrugged and said:

"What's difficult for those who don't know how is easy for those who do. To put it simply, it's just a vessel. The difficulty lies in how to build Operating System, but you can even condense a Wood Spirit on your own. What's so difficult about compiling an Operating System for an existing spirit? The only thing to watch out for is how to ensure that the spirit isn't overdrawn. But that's a matter of skill, and I can't teach you that. You have to figure it out yourself. Here's what I'll do: I Think you do it, and I'll point out any problems you encounter. Oh, by the way, do you have any materials?"

"Oh, yes, my old man brought me a lot back. I heard he killed some during military training. He used the cheaper ones directly, and it would be a waste to leave the more expensive ones lying around, so he brought them back for me. I'll send someone to pick them up right away."

Having said that, Nezha skillfully took out paper and pen from the cabinet in the corner, wrote a note, and then took out a palm-sized Wooden Kite from his pocket. With a light press of his finger, the Wooden Kite flapped its wings and flew away, carrying the note with it.

Upon seeing this, Feng Xue also clicked her tongue in amazement and said:

"Your Wooden Kite has already acquired three parts of the essence of Mechanical Arts."

"Hehe!" Nezha was still a child after all. Hearing Feng Xue's praise, his face immediately turned red. However, he didn't just stand there dumbfounded. Instead, he took out his axe, chisel, plane, and file and started attacking Feng Xue's Coffin board.

Nezha was quite envious of Feng Xue's ability to casually pull out Coffin board, but he was still somewhat puzzled as to why Feng Xue would process all the wood into Coffin board.

However, he didn't ask about such things. After all, everyone has their own preferences. Besides, these days he would occasionally carry a coffin over the wall and go out. Thinking about it carefully, maybe his master had also been doing that for a while.

The craftsmanship of the ancestral tablet was not difficult, and Nezha was now skilled. In less than a quarter of an hour, he had entered the final polishing stage. Just then, footsteps came from outside the door. When he opened the door, he saw it was a servant of the Li Mansion family.

"Third Young Master, the Purple Sandalwood and Elder Wood you requested have been delivered."

Upon hearing this, Nezha immediately stepped forward to check, and after confirming that he hadn't taken the wrong one, he nodded and said:

"Alright, you can go back now, but don't tell my father!"

"Knew!"

The servants, unfazed by Nezha's request, handed the Wooden Kite back to Nezha and hurried away. Six wooden Mechanical Arm extended from behind Nezha, lifting up two large logs. Feng Xue, however, found it amusing and remarked:

"What? You're reluctant to part with the good materials?"

"No, Purple Sandalwood gathers yin energy, which helps with the depletion of yin spirits, while Elder Wood itself wards off evil and disasters, avoiding the problems that Purple Sandalwood's excessive yin energy might cause. As for the skeleton, this Darkwood coffin will suffice. Carpentry is not about piling up precious materials; the most suitable approach is to utilize the characteristics of each type of wood and bring out their full potential."

As Nezha untied the wood, he answered Feng Xue's questions. Feng Xue nodded and said nothing more, but quietly watched him break open the Darkwood coffin, make three hundred bone joints, and then make gears and joints from the Purple Sandalwood. Finally, he disassembled the Elder Wood to make templates.

Each joint fits perfectly, the tenon and mortise joints are secure and tight.

Feng Xue was amazed by Nezha's craftsmanship. In less than a year, the little guy had honed his woodworking skills to such a level. It has to be said that interest is the best teacher.

However, Nezha had no awareness of "I have already Great Divine Skill Accomplishment". His six arms on the back cooperated with his original arms to disassemble the wooden parts that had been assembled, take out the remaining Purple Sandalwood, grind it into wood chips, arrange them properly according to the three powers, and use his own spirituality to nourish his joints and acupoints, and draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to circulate.

Seeing the room suddenly turn cold and gloomy, Nezha immediately placed the spirit tablet, which had been forcibly stuffed into his Soul Body, in the center of his joint. He then channeled his spiritual energy and used the Wuxiang Mindless Divine Power, which had been modified by Feng Xue using the Great Yin Molting Technique. He constructed a network of Yin energy mixed with the Yin energy of the Zhou Tian, connecting the spirit tablet with the major acupoints.

The bodies of Wood Spirit and humans are ultimately different. When Nezha was creating a body for Wood Spirit, he could do so entirely according to his own preferences. However, despite Taiyi Zhenren's initial attack, Nezha, still feeling a slight sense of guilt, chose to maintain human characteristics and edited the Operating System to be as similar to that of humans as possible.

Once everything was edited, Nezha filled the gaps in his body with Purple Sandalwood and was about to seal it when Feng Xue suddenly pointed and said:

"Rise!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the coffin-bound corpse suddenly transformed into a pool of golden liquid, which, guided by Feng Xue's Magic Seal, was poured into the wood chips, giving the originally yin-dominant Purple Sandalwood a Golden Light.

"That's enough, really. You only consider that spirits prefer yin, but if you don't think about balancing yin and yang, then even if you revive them, they'll just be ghost generals. Fortunately, this immortal's body is quite suitable."

Hearing Feng Xue's reprimand, Nezha nodded vigorously, then quickly joined the last few planks together, and then shouted loudly—

"Taiyi is not yet in human form, when will it ever take another?"
