Chapter 163 # I am not, I did not, my Manipulation Lineage is not poor!
Gongshu Wumao's actions startled both Wang Xiu and Mo Wuwei.
They looked over one after another.
They saw Gongshu Wumao first approach the processing furnace, gently stroking its surface with his hands, and invisible ripples spread from his palms.
Immediately,
The processing furnace emitted a buzzing sound.
He lay on the ground.
In an extremely indecent posture, he pressed his ear against the processing furnace, carefully sensing the movements inside.
The tapping sound that seemed ordinary and brief to ordinary people.
In his ears,
It was clear, distinct, and intricate.
For the majority of cultivators,
They were accustomed to using their divine sense as an extension of their five senses.
To capture things that normal senses couldn't perceive.
But for a skilled craftsman like Gongshu Wumao,
Compared to divine sense,
He trusted his own ears, eyes, and hands more.
Listening to the feedback from the inner wall of the processing furnace,
Various structures inside the furnace vividly appeared in his mind.
He couldn't help but murmur, "The same..."
He ran to the giant charging compartments, directly lying on the ground, and crawled in from the entrance, studying every groove on the ground and every formation engraved on it.
Wang Xiu watched this scene and couldn't help but twitch his mouth. "Senior Brother, is it always like this?"
Mo Wuwei's face turned slightly red as she nodded. "Master has always been unconventional and meticulous in his research."
Wang Xiu raised his thumb. "Impressive!"
After a while,
Gongshu Wumao crawled out of the giant charging compartment, too rushed to brush off the dust on his body, and walked directly towards Wang Xiu, his gaze complex as he assessed him.
Staring at Wang Xiu made his heart palpitate. "Senior Brother? What... what's wrong?"
Gongshu Wumao took a deep breath, his eyes full of ferocity. "You... actually used materials for making Supreme Grade Spirit Weapons to create a bunch of... things that control these low-level puppets?"
Wang Xiu was stunned. "Is there a problem?"
Gongshu Wumao shouted, "Of course there is! Do you know how many poor people in this world want to learn the art of puppetry but can't afford the materials? Do you know how many people in this world attend puppetry classes and take turns using materials, repeatedly disassembling them? Do you know how many ordinary puppetry materials can be obtained in exchange for your materials, allowing how many people to afford learning puppetry?"
The more he spoke, the more indignant and sorrowful he became, and the more he wanted to cry.
Tears gradually welled up in his eyes.
Mo Wuwei, who was beside him, couldn't help but turn red in her eyes when she heard his words.
Seeing this, Wang Xiu hesitated and asked, "Senior, are you talking about the Manipulation Lineage?"
"!!!" Gongshu Wumao immediately denied, tears streaming down his face. "Of course not! My Manipulation Lineage has been passed down for many years, relying on craftsmanship to make a living, self-sufficient in clothing and food, lacking nothing! I'm talking about the many unfortunate people in this world!"
*Ding!*
*Detected someone bragging nearby. Congratulations to the host for gaining +666 mana!*
How could he admit to this?
It was a matter of losing face!
He was truly stimulated by Wang Xiu's extremely extravagant actions.
As early as the moment he arrived in this Netherworld Tree forest,
Gongshu Wumao had already understood the purpose of Wang Xiu creating these puppets.
It was to allow these puppets to automatically harvest some spiritual herbs and resources in this forest.
He didn't care about what exactly they were harvesting.
But he knew.
This matter itself was not complicated.
The level of puppets required was not high.
The difficulty was very low.
He had at least a hundred ways to achieve the same goal as Wang Xiu.
Although,
The puppet birds created by Wang Xiu surprised him greatly.
The minimalist structure inside also made him brighten up.
It opened up many new ideas for him.
But...
This still cannot change the fact that this matter itself does not require a very clever puppet.
Nor does it require so many rare materials.
You see,
Those materials, even if used to refine a Supreme Grade Spirit Weapon, would still be more than enough.
Each one is valuable.
If these things were in Gongshu Wumao's hands,
He would definitely plan carefully, making sure to utilize every bit of them.
How could he be like Wang Xiu?
What's the difference between this and throwing money around?
Pure wastefulness!
...
Looking at Gongshu Wumao's frustrated expression,
Wang Xiu's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Mo Wuwei, "Isn't it...?"
Mo Wuwei nodded repeatedly, "No, really, it's not!"
Wang Xiu said, "...Alright, it's not!"
Gongshu Wumao took a deep breath and said with great seriousness, "Nephew, I know your Divination Lineage is wealthy now, with a big family and big business, but even with money, you can't waste it like this...
Being diligent and frugal is the fine tradition of our Three Purities Immortal Gate.
It must not be abandoned!"
Wang Xiu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I've learned my lesson, Uncle Master!"
Gongshu Wumao said, "Look at you, making these large charging puppets, isn't it too extravagant? How about this, you hand over these things to Uncle Master...
I'll melt them down, refine the materials, and then reforge the puppets, guaranteeing that their value will be fully realized!
At that time, I'll give you a share!
How about it?"
Hearing this,
Mo Wuwei's face turned red in an instant.
How could the Master say such shameless words with such righteous indignation?
Wang Xiu laughed helplessly, "Uncle Master, are you trying to coax me like a child?"
Upon hearing this,
Gongshu Wumao's face turned red, and he coughed twice, "If it really doesn't work, then... I'll borrow it from Uncle Master!"
The higher-ups of the Manipulation Lineage are researching the creation of a new Apex Level puppet armor.
It is on par with Luo Binglan's coffin.
They plan to make up for the losses suffered by the Manipulation Lineage in the battle years ago.
This matter,
The Manipulation Lineage has been working on for hundreds of years.
After all, they understand that without a few truly powerful puppets to suppress the scene, the Manipulation Lineage cannot stand tall.
In the past few years, even though the research has been ongoing,
They were still able to maintain the basic daily training and life of the disciples in the Manipulation Lineage.
But recently, they reached a critical point in the manufacturing process.
The core materials are available, but there are still some rare accessories that require a large amount of precious materials.
The Manipulation Lineage has almost exhausted its resources and is still lacking.
They begged and borrowed from other lineages, but it still wasn't enough.
Now,
Seeing so many materials for refining Supreme Grade Spirit Weapons being wasted here by Wang Xiu, they couldn't help themselves.
Wang Xiu pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled, "To be honest, I have a strong interest in the Yan Shi Dao. If I could start over... I would very likely choose the Manipulation Lineage!
In fact, I already consider myself half a member of the Manipulation Lineage!
If Uncle Master is short on materials, why bother borrowing?"
Upon hearing this, Gongshu Wumao's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together, "This... it wouldn't be right to take it for free, right?"
Wang Xiu smiled, "To be honest, although these materials are of extraordinary quality, I refined them by sublimating some low-grade materials, so they are not valuable!"
Upon hearing this,
Gongshu Wumao was immediately stunned, "Sublimation, refinement?"
