I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years! - Chapter 486
[17. Mechanical Ascension]
In the huge square like a disc, the so-called Ascension Ritual is going on.
This does not seem to be a big exam that gathers all applicants, as Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei imagined, but more like a corporate interview.
Those who intend to participate, after registering at a puppet with a similar size to the blue man next to him, will be taken to a huge and closed metal cylinder for inspection by the puppets. The man will disappear behind a light curtain, and at the same time, the puppets will broadcast the information that he passed the Ascension Instrument with mechanical sounds.
If it fails, the blue-skinned man will be invited out by the puppets from another small door in the metal cylinder and return to the city.
When Bai Qiuran and the others came to the square, they happened to see a blue-skinned woman who passed the test. She was held between two puppets and brought behind a light curtain. The light curtain was flowing with some simple runes, blocking the people’s sight.
Bai Qiuran blinked, and a faint brilliance flashed from his pupils. His line of sight penetrated the light curtain composed of runes and saw what was behind the light curtain.
Behind the light curtain, there are six life-support capsules arranged one by one on the ground. After the blue-skinned woman entered the light-curtain, she joined five other blue-skinned men in a group of six. Under the instructions of the puppets, they entered the survival capsule.
After the cabin door was closed, through the transparent cabin door wall, Bai Qiuran saw some runes appearing in the cabin door, an inexplicable force made them fall asleep, and then the pipes connected to the top of these survival cabins began Operation, countless energies are transmitted through the lines above, making the pipeline emit light, and the souls of these sleeping blue-skinned people are transported by this pipeline to a huge cabin farther away.
The cabin trembled endlessly. After a while, the cabin opened, and six puppets with stiff faces, golden bodies, short stature and relatively simple structure, walked out of the cabin.
“Is this the so-called Ascension Instrument?”
Bai Qiuran said in surprise:
“Mechanical Ascension?”
He observed that these newly born puppets had an artificial purple house in their bodies. Inside the purple house, an identical Nascent Soul was sitting cross-legged in the center of the purple house. The Purple Mansion.
The real energy slowly circulated in the puppets’ bodies, and according to the precise mechanical structure in the puppets, the runes engraved on the puppet’s body parts were activated one by one. In just a short while, these new puppets had a distraction period. The cultivation and combat power of monks.
“Damn it.”
Looking at the artificial purple mansion and the Nascent Soul inside, Bai Qiuran felt a pain in his heart.
“These puppets are not sons of man, what do they think of the Nascent Soul that we cultivators have worked so hard to cultivate?”
Tang Ruowei glanced at him when she heard the words. Although her body did not directly penetrate the light curtain with her eyes and see the ability behind it, she could guess what was behind the light curtain based on Bai Qiuran’s words.
“Master, you have personal blessings, you can’t envy you.”
She patted Bai Qiuran on the shoulder and said in a low voice.
Bai Qiuran became angry and slapped her waist, causing the girl to cry out in pain.
“Do you want to die!”
Tang Ruowei immediately fought back and kicked Bai Qiuran’s calf.
“Is it really okay to play?”
To be honest, with the hardness of her bones now, ordinary people can no longer hurt her inner organs, but Tian Ji will always be an exception.
“brother……”
At this time, the blue-skinned youth standing in front of the two turned around and saw the scene of Tang Ruowei and Bai Qiuran fighting.
“You two have a really good relationship.”
He was envious.
“If only I had a girl like that as my partner.”
“Go find one.”
Bai Qiuran said to him:
“Look at you, you know a lot and are polite, and you speak nicely. As long as you look down a little bit, it’s not difficult to find a girl you like, right?”
“I just couldn’t hold my face and couldn’t find it, so I came to participate in the Ritual of Ascension.”
The blue-skinned youth smiled bitterly and said very sad words.
“If you can successfully ascend and become a god, it doesn’t matter if you have a partner or not…”
Bai Qiuran silently patted his shoulder.
“Actually…As a past person, I want to tell you that sometimes a partner is not as beautiful as you think.”
He seemed to recall something particularly bad, and he couldn’t help shivering.
“Easier said than done……”
Rao is a blue-skinned youth with a good temper, and he couldn’t help but say at this moment.
“Cough, don’t talk about that.”
Bai Qiuran coughed twice.
“What did you just ask us to say?”
“I’m going to sign up.”
The blue-skinned youth said to Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei:
“I’m really happy to meet you two friends when I was a mortal. If I succeed in ascension, maybe there is a fate in the future, you can still meet me, who has become a god. At that time, I may apply to the god of machines to help me. Your work in the field may not be the same.”
“Ok.”
Bai Qiuran smiled at him gently and encouraged:
“wish you success!”
“Bless you!”
After saying goodbye to the blue-skinned youth and watching him go away to the registration office, Bai Qiuran’s eyes flickered and his smile faded.
Holding his chin, he stood there and pondered for a moment, then hooked Tang Ruowei.
“Ruo Wei, come with me.”
“What?”
Tang Ruowei followed and followed him to the corner of the square.
Bai Qiuran scanned the surroundings twice and found that there were no monitors of the puppets. He reached out and opened a dimensional crack, then grabbed Tang Ruowei’s hand and flashed in.
Tang Ruowei followed him, and the two came to the dimension of shadows. Everything on the ground turned into pitch-black silhouettes.
But Tang Ruowei wasn’t here for the first time, and she wasn’t particularly afraid. After she landed, she hugged her chest and asked:
“Master, is there anything to discuss?”
“Let’s also go to that Ascension Ritual.”
Bai Qiuran said to her.
“Let’s go too? Master, although I don’t know what’s going on inside, it’s not a good thing to think about, but it’s also something you envy. Most of the puppets turned the blue-skinned man into one of them. type of thing.”
Tang Ruowei said suspiciously:
“Let’s go directly to the main body? Will there be a problem, for example, being forcibly controlled by those puppets… Wait!”
She remembered Bai Qiuran’s expression of envy, jealousy and hatred before, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
“Master, shouldn’t you finally give up the treatment and want to run to let the puppet give you an artificial purple mansion and an artificial Nascent Soul, so as to comfort yourself with Nascent Soul?”
“What are you talking about, you rebellious disciple? Is it a man who gives up so easily as a teacher?”
Bai Qiuran gave Tang Ruowei a head-scratcher, and then added in a low voice:
“But it’s okay to open a clone and experience the feeling of a puppet monk in the distraction period.”
