Cyber Female Cultivator

Hu Mang looked up and discovered that it was actually the cybernetic female cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, are you going to raise the price?" Hu Mang asked.

The Celestial Person Class seems to be filled with extravagance and debauchery; they're all wealthy people.

"I won't pay extra."

"Oh," Hu Mang, somewhat disappointed.

The art style doesn't match, sis.

"But you just said that you accept barter, and anything that can assist in cultivation or core formation is acceptable, right?" the cyber female cultivator said with a smile.

"Can I use this card?"

Hu Mang had sharp eyesight; he immediately recognized the content of the card.

Chengdan Spiritual Enterprise - Golden Core Customized Service Silver Card

"This silver card, worth twenty million, can provide a one-stop service for cultivators who need to form their Golden Core. The best part is that it's anonymous, meaning that as long as you get this card, you can simply buy a ticket to Heavenly Gate and enjoy free customized Golden Core services. Isn't that wonderful!"

You even have this?!

Hu Mang paused for a moment, then said, "Won't they find something they shouldn't on this card?"

The cyber female cultivator chuckled, and a charming expression appeared on her cold and beautiful face, as if a crack had suddenly appeared in a piece of ice, revealing a warm light flowing beneath.

"What are you worried about? Are you worried that we remnants of the previous dynasty haven't been thoroughly purged? Don't you, a member of Heavenly Gate, know that many spiritual enterprises within Heavenly Gate have cooperative projects with people like us? It's completely compliant and legal."

"Don't you know that the head of the Cheng Household is currently pursuing a breakthrough to the perfect Core Formation stage in the project he's leading? Just one success, no matter how low the success rate is afterward, would be the best IPO benefit. What that Old Master Cheng has been pursuing his whole life is the listing of the Lineage business and his own breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation stage."

"As for the study of alchemy, our ancestors conducted many rather extreme experiments back then. The current Circuit Core Formation at Heavenly Gate is based on the results of our experiments."

Hu Mang did not ask how the other party recognized him as a native of Heavenly Gate.

But are the overseas cyberpunk cultivators and the private sects within the Heavenly Gate really that closely connected?

"Can I exchange one Nether Pearl for one card?" Hu Mang asked.

"Certainly."

To just give up 6 million like that, that's a bit like the behavior of someone from the highest echelons of Celestial Person.

Hu Mang looked at the other party's silver card, then suddenly had an idea and looked at Old Sha.

How can you tell if this card is real or fake?

Old Sha paused for a moment, then said, "I can call customer service."

"... Then go ask."

The art style suddenly looks modern.

Sure enough, Old Sha took the card and left. I wonder how expensive it would be to call Heavenly Gate from here.

His mother had talked to him about this before, but when they actually started chatting, she talked more than anyone else.

A moment later, Old Sha returned and handed the card to Hu Mang, along with a small stack of freshly printed paper contracts.

"This is the contract they gave us. It outlines all the relevant obligations and responsibilities, and says that if there are any problems, we can call the Heavenly Gate market management department at any time to inquire about the contract's validity."

"... Good."

Hu Mang actually scanned it carefully, and apart from a bunch of disclaimers, the cyber female cultivator's statement about the card was indeed true.

This membership card is indeed an anonymous card.

Damn it, the descendants of Celestial Person beings can actually customize their Core Formation inside the Heavenly Gate.

The art style is a bit strange.

"Okay, deal."

Then came the final round. When it was Hu Mang's turn, Hu Mang glanced at the cybernetic female cultivator, suddenly had an idea, and pulled out something.

Upon seeing this object, the cybernetic female cultivator opposite immediately straightened her posture, and the two large white pythons coiled around her in a different direction, looking very interested.

Damn it, she really wasn't wearing underwear!

Obscene!

Hu Mang glanced at him disdainfully and began to explain:

"The ancient coral reef, imbued with the energy of the Dragon Vein, has sprouted a cluster of dragon horns on its surface."

He snatched this item from the old cultivator who was suspected to be under the Holy Son's command. Among the thirty or forty large items in Hu Mang's possession, it and the ambergris were the only two treasures that were clearly related to the Dragon Vein with the naked eye.

He raised the coral reef slightly, allowing the light to shine better on its surface. "These protruding keratinous structures are 'dragon horns' that have grown on the coral surface after the Dragon Vein's energy has permeated and nourished this coral reef over many years; each dragon horn contains an extremely faint Dragon Vein aura, though not as strong as a real dragon horn, but its abundance makes up for it—"

"No need for introductions, I want this," the cyber female cultivator said bluntly, as if she were afraid that someone else would snatch it away if she hesitated even a moment longer.

Hu Mang chuckled dryly and said, "Fellow Daoist, this thing isn't cheap. It's an artifact evolved from Dragon Vein. Although it can't be called Dragon Vein treasure, in some people's hands, it's absolutely priceless!"

"Yes, I'm one of them. Make your bid." The female cultivator nodded and said directly.

That's really straightforward.

Old Sha was right after all; anything related to Dragon Vein is indeed fatally attractive to these descendants of Celestial Person beings.

"I'll say it again: I need treasures to aid in cultivation and core formation. But since this item is priceless, you wouldn't try to fool me with a membership card, would you? With your wealth, you wouldn't be an overseas marketing representative for Chengdan Enterprise, would you?"

These words amused the cybernetic female cultivator. She was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, her laughter even more unrestrained than before. Whether it was artificial or natural, the laughter was quite dramatic, a testament to the excellent quality of the silicone material.

"Interesting, you are very interesting, but fellow Daoist, would you dare to use the cultivation-stimulating methods of us heretics and Outer Dao?"

"Whether I dare to use it or not is my business; whether you give it to me or not is your business, fellow Daoist," Hu Mang said calmly.

He could sense a strange Divine Sense, like a snake, invading from the opposite direction, before abruptly disappearing within three zhang of him.

The Heavenly Devil Field is invincible within a three-zhang radius!

The cybernetic female cultivator opposite her paused slightly with her smile. The data stream in her prosthetic eye briefly stopped for a moment, the first time she had shown surprise since entering the study.

She gave Hu Mang a second look, then abandoned her languid posture, sat up straight, clasped her hands together, and said in a more serious tone, "Alright, I do have a few things that meet your requirements; however, these things are a bit special, and I can't show them to you here."

Hu Mang's gaze fell on Old Sha. Old Sha's lips twitched, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"Please follow me, both of you."

Old Sha stood up, and the cybernetic female cultivator glanced at Hu Mang with a smile, then stood up and followed behind him.

Hu Mang then noticed that the other person had Divine Sense implantation slot on their neck, just like the old man's, and it looked much more advanced than the old man's.

The old man's was stuck on the back of his head, while the other's was on his neck; the edges were smooth and blended seamlessly with the surrounding skin, as if it had grown naturally from his body.

The aura emanating from this implantation slot carried a similar sense of mental oppression as that of the Heavenly Devil Field.

Looking at the dark implantation hole, Hu Mang felt a vague sense of threat.

Soon, Old Sha led the two to the top floor, where there was only one room.

"I spent a considerable amount of money to build this isolation chamber for Divine Sense. I hope you two will both be alive when you come out."

As soon as Old Sha finished speaking, he turned and left, showing no intention of participating at all.

The cybernetic female cultivator smiled and walked straight in.

Hu Mang glanced at the seemingly ordinary room, and without the slightest hesitation, went straight in.

As soon as I entered the room, an indescribable pressure pressed down from all directions.

The Divine Sense of the Hu Mang, at the Mid Golden Core realm, was gradually forced into the sea of consciousness.

"This--"

"These are the interrogation tools used by Heavenly Gate to deal with the New Demonic Path. The New Demonic Path's methods of communication are very covert now, but once Divine Sense is suppressed into the body, the effectiveness of these methods is reduced by half."

The cybernetic nun plopped down on a chair in the room, with a long table two chairs away.

Hu Mang noticed that the other party was using demonic methods, not the Holy Cult.

Although the Old Heavenly Gate later gave rise to the monster of the "Celestial Person Beings," it also genuinely fought against the demonic path in the early stages.

Especially the Martial Emperor, who was a ruthless man who had wiped out all the demonic sects in the world.

Hu Mang had no intention of delving into history; he simply sat down opposite the other person and asked, "Where's the stuff?"

The cybernetic nun smiled, then pulled a hairpin from deep within her hair. The hairpin had a hardened, grayish-white human brainstem as its core and was wrapped with black nerve fibers on the outside.

Even after the hairpin was placed on the table, the nerve fibers on it were still twitching.

Then she took a bronze mirror from her waist. The mirror was closed, but a scarlet light emanated from the slits.

Finally, she pulled open her coat, revealing her sexy figure, then reached into her abdomen and pulled out a still-pulsating "Flesh and Blood Golden Core," placing it on the table.

Hu Mang's pupils widened slightly as he watched as the other person wiped away the laceration on his abdomen with their hand, smoothing it out and making it disappear. Then, the other person zipped up their jacket, hiding their sexy figure inside.

"I think it would be more hygienic to put some things in storage boxes," Hu Mang said after a moment's thought.

The cybernetic nun smiled but remained silent, offering no answer to the question.

"Should we choose one, or should I introduce them to you first?"

Hu Mang looked at the three rather strange-sounding objects on the table.

"I think it's appropriate to introduce it."

The cybernetic nun picked up the hairpin first and introduced it:

"The Neon Withered Brain Hairpin can forcibly absorb the shallow memories and distracting thoughts of all living beings within a radius of a hundred feet, transforming them into nourishment for one's own sea of consciousness; if fully activated, it can weave the fears, obsessions, and memories of everyone within a thousand feet into Neon Dreamscape. Within this dreamscape, you can transform into a brain-eating monster, devouring the consciousness Divine Sense of these people, causing them to suffer mental breakdowns, cognitive distortions, and permanently Spirit Transformation thoughts."

"The material used to create it: the brain of a Nascent Soul Cultivator."
