Chapter 49 Puppet Adaptation
The veil in front of me is woven from the silk of the snow-covered silver spider, a specialty of Kunlun.
The materials are top-notch, but unfortunately, in order to imitate the flowing elegance of the Flowing Cloud Silk, the maker abandoned the metal element magic array that is most suitable for silver spider silk and used the feng shui attribute instead, which greatly damaged the tough texture.
Wasting precious resources just to save face!
A vain woman!
Teacher Yue felt a pang of regret, a flash of disdain crossing her eyes, but when she spoke, a smile had already appeared on her face: "It can be repaired, but the materials..."
Upon hearing the words "can replenish", Fang Yingyue breathed a sigh of relief. She simply ignored the disdain in the other person's eyes. They were both from the Ninth Heaven, so losing face in front of her was nothing!
"I have the materials, I have the materials..." Fang Yingyue immediately took out a small ball of silver spider silk from her Qiankun bag, beaming as she presented it to Teacher Yue. "This should be a little extra; consider the surplus as payment for labor, how about it?"
Is the craftsmanship of the Tiangong Weaving Studio only worth two spider silk threads?
Being vain is one thing, but being stingy is another!
Teacher Yue inwardly scorned, but her face remained impassive: "Why should we discuss labor costs? However, this flowing cloud gauze is precious, and to mend it so that it's undetectable, it will take considerable effort—but I lack the energy. I have to teach classes and supervise classes morning, noon, and night, and grade homework in my spare time. How can I find the time to sit down and do such delicate work..."
You're busy, but it hasn't stopped you from taking on tailoring jobs!
This teacher, Ms. Yue, looks to be in her fifties, but she is actually over ninety. She has been stuck at the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage for twenty years and has long given up any ambition to advance further. These years, making money has been her top priority; otherwise, she wouldn't have come to this remote place, Aolai, to work as a teacher.
As for tailoring, she had studied at the Heavenly Weaving Studio for a while, but she was only an apprentice. The competition in the Nine Heavens was fierce, and with her limited weaving skills, it was impossible for her to take on private jobs there. However, there was a shortage of high-level weavers in Aolai. Before she came, she spread some rumors about being a "Heavenly Weaver Girl." In just over three months, she had already taken on three or four orders and made a fortune.
Fang Yingyue thought to herself, but she understood that it was just a matter of exchanging benefits. If she were willing to pay a few thousand spirit stones, the other party could probably finish the job in three to five days. But why not save some money if she could?
"How about this, you tutor me, and I'll watch the classes for you and tutor them in arithmetic while I'm at it?
"My eyesight is failing me. It will take several months to mend this gauze..." Teacher Yue said slowly.
"That won't do! If I have to do it three times a day, morning, noon, and night, how am I supposed to continue my cultivation? One week, at most one week!" Fang Yingyue thought to herself, "I'm not a cow."
"Actually, you don't need to go in the morning, noon, and night. You just need to choose one time slot to help me manage it, how about that?" Teacher Yue earnestly advised.
"Well..." Fang Yingyue thought for a moment, "Then let's do it at noon. But could you please mend this gauze for me as soon as possible? I'm used to wearing it, and I feel very uncomfortable without it."
"You're the most important! I'll risk everything to make up for it by staying up a few nights in a row." Teacher Yue smiled as she put the ball of silk into her Qiankun bag.
Fang Yingyue changed the subject: "Master Yue, isn't this divination course too difficult? If it continues like this, fewer and fewer people will be able to understand it. If the exam is made easy, wouldn't I be harming them?"
"This exam will definitely be very difficult. The source is very reliable, but I don't know the specifics," Teacher Yue told the truth.
"Uh..." Fang Yingyue sighed helplessly, "You've been around in the Nine Heavens for a long time, you must know a few people in the Divination Bureau, right? Which expert would you like to consult? It would be best if you could find some practice questions, make a sample paper, and give me a demonstration."
"The people in the Imperial Divination Bureau are aloof and difficult to get along with. What acquaintances could I, a mere lowly official, possibly have?" Seeing Fang Yingyue's disappointment, Teacher Yue said, "There is a third-level sect nearby that you could try—the Wansong Sect. This sect has a branch in the Great Wilderness, and it seems they knew about the large-scale migration a long time ago. They are currently selling off their assets to raise money, so they seem very confident about the exam."
"Wansong Sect? A third-level sect?" Fang Yingyue shook her head, indicating that she had never heard of it.
"I know someone nearby. Her daughter is of school age and should be preparing for exams. Maybe I can ask her."
................................................
Just as the two women were bargaining and discussing things, in Fang Yingyue's sea of consciousness, the pale golden butterfly wing had already drawn a long arc and found her island of consciousness.
The island has a quiet woodland, lush with vegetation and dotted with wildflowers, with a small pond in the center.
The spirit glides to the surface of the pool, circles once, cuts along the edge of the pool, and silently dives to the bottom, where it lies dormant.
Become!
The Spirit Rhinoceros Wings in his sea of consciousness were now at peace. At this stage, at this distance, he could only vaguely sense the aftershocks of Fang Yingyue's emotions—she was still angry, but not as intense anymore.
"Hiss—" Cai Fei grimaced and moved his shoulder. The wounds from the three cuts and six holes had not fully healed yet, and it hurt as soon as he moved.
He stood up, bracing himself against the stone wall, dusted himself off, summoned his spirit bamboo kite, and it rose crookedly into the air.
Feeling uncomfortable doing anything, I decided to go to the Illusionary Academy to treat my puppet maladaptive disorder.
After checking the waist tag and taking the money, the guarantor handed Cai Fei a tag with the number 99 on it.
Cai Fei found Illusion House No. 99 and lay down inside.
"The illusion array is about to activate. Please lie down and relax, and let your mind wander outside your body."
The voice of the illusion array spirit rang in Cai Fei's ears again. There was another flash of white light, and the next second, Cai Fei's consciousness was transferred.
It was the same puppet as before, and he felt the same discomfort... The difference was that the space in front of him was only three zhang in diameter, with just a few pine trees and some flowers and plants, and no one was bothering him anymore.
Soon, dizziness and nausea struck again, and there was nothing I could do but continue to suffer in bed...
It took Cai Fei a full hour and a half to get used to the puppet body within the illusion array.
The consciousness transplant he had dreamed of in his past life, the holographic game—after adapting, he could finally enjoy it. Cai Fei performed a set of punches, then circulated his spiritual energy, practiced his invisibility technique, and finally tried out the cockroach dance.
As it turned out, the Heavenly Court's method was very successful, and the Heavenly Craft Workshop's production was of extremely high quality. Apart from the lack of five senses, this puppet could walk, run, jump, and roll. It could leap, bound, soar, and move freely. At first, all its movements were deformed, but after becoming familiar with it, it could be used freely with a little adjustment.
Magic-related spells are more complicated. Puppets only replicate some acupoints and meridians, so the use of spiritual energy is quite different. It's easier to use spiritual energy with fewer types. Cai Fei has nine types of spiritual energy, and both the circulation routes and the acupoints for storing energy are very complicated. The puppet body is quite different from the original body.
Cai Fei practiced for an hour and could barely manage to become invisible, but he couldn't do the cockroach dance at all; he couldn't perform any of the movements.
However, Cai Fei was already immersed in inexplicable joy, which came from the emotions of the "him" from the past—the consciousness transplant was a fact, what a great achievement!
This is a brand new and great world!
For some reason, the "he" from the previous life reacted strongly to this matter, much like the overwhelming longing for parents that the toddler named "Cai Fei" had many years ago.
After sitting quietly for a while and calming his emotions, Cai Fei called upon the spirit of the artifact to transfer his soul.
After going outside, he experienced another hour of vomiting and dizziness, as usual. What made Cai Fei happy was that the recovery time seemed to be a few minutes shorter.
"Give me some time. I'll throw up and throw up, and then I'll get used to it."
The line inexplicably popped into Cai Fei's mind. After a moment of reflection, he entered the illusion array adaptation zone again, struggling through the torment of reality and illusion array, slowly improving his puppet adaptability.
