At this moment, the female mech looked no different from an ordinary person.
Yuan Shi formed another hand seal, then sent forth a stream of dense true essence.
Once the true essence entered the female mech's core, it was absorbed. Her previously vacant eyes finally began to move, and she called out softly.
"Master."
Yuan Shi took out a jade slip containing a low-grade cultivation technique and tossed it to the female mech. "Read through this technique first and try cultivating it."
"Yes, Master."
After catching the jade slip, the female mech looked troubled again. "I can't read."
"Then start by learning how to read."

Tang Yu watched the scene and asked curiously.
"Are you planning to create an even more powerful bonded mech for the Heavenly Craft Sect, Fellow Daoist, or do you want to build a mech companion?"
"Of course, it'd be best if she could become a bonded mech. But in terms of killing power, she's still somewhat lacking and needs further improvement. Still, if she can serve as a mech companion, that wouldn't be bad either."
Yuan Shi had nothing to hide and laughed heartily.
"After all, times are different now. So many female cultivators out there are simply beyond description, especially with that Fist Sect that popped up recently. It's utterly nauseating."
"Finding a suitable companion to support each other through life is no easier than cultivating to the Mahayana Realm. After all, the human heart is ever-changing."
"Since that's the case, why not make a mech companion instead? At least she'll stand by our side wholeheartedly. Don't you agree, Fellow Daoist?"
"Beautiful, devoted, and obedient in every way—she really is better than far
