"The Blood-Exchange Art! Is it a widely accessible method derived from the Creation-Promotion Secret Art's 'Fill with Mercury as Blood'?"
Li Chen immediately thought of this.
The "Fill with Mercury as Blood" method primarily involved refining spirit mercury into blood and filling Mechanism Puppets with it to conduct magic power and various forms of primordial energy. Later, some people applied it to the bodies of Puppet Masters, marking the beginning of puppetization.
Flesh puppetization, also known as "Heavenly Craftsmanship," aimed to replace mortal flesh with heavenly treasures and earthly wonders, thereby attaining a dao body!
A dao body was an attainment in bodily cultivation that cultivators achieved after reaching a certain cultivation realm.
Magic power was profound and extraordinarily wondrous. Possessing it could imperceptibly alter a cultivator's constitution, raising them to an entirely new level of life. Thus, once the countless species of living beings achieved success in cultivation, their bodies began transforming into dao bodies, and the essence of their lives gradually converged.
Once they cultivated a dao body, whether they had previously been gods or devils, humans or demons, birds or beasts, flowers or trees... they would all become the same species.
It was precisely because of this that so many moving legends of love between humans and demons, or humans and immortals, had circulated throughout the ages.
Most Outer Dao cultivators relied on abstaining from food and consuming energy to cultivate a yang spirit, whereas Puppet Masters relied on the methods of flesh puppetization!
That Master Artisan Bu is probably a Puppet Master of the Master Artisan rank who received the inheritance of 'Fill with Mercury as Blood' and has profound attainments in this field.
If I can advance to Master Artisan someday, I could also teach others the so-called Skin-Replacement Art.
