Chapter 183 – Custom-made


“Was the Formless Puppet created by Master Che Yucheng?”

Chen Mobai caught the key point in Chai Lun’s words.

“Theoretically, it was a joint effort between Master Che and Master Xin Jue from the Sentence Mang Taoist Academy. Unfortunately, Master Xin Jue passed away twenty years ago. Since then, Master Che has stopped making Formless Puppets.”

“So, it’s not something you can buy outside.”

“If Master Che doesn’t make them, the remaining thirty-six are considered top-notch.”

There are only thirty-six Formless Puppets in the entire Immortal Gate. The Dance Instrument Academy has eighteen, and Che Yucheng also gave eighteen to the Sentence Mang Taoist Academy.

“Do the Kunpeng Taoist Academy and the Mending the Sky Taoist Academy not have any?”

Chen Mobai was surprised. Was the Formless Puppet a unique benefit for their two academies?

“They do. Master Che publicly shared the method of making Formless Puppets. The Kunpeng Taoist Academy and the Mending the Sky Taoist Academy, which have puppetry masters, made similar puppets. However, these two academies call them Infinite Puppets.”

“What about the top ten academies?” Chen Mobai asked again.

“They probably don’t have any. Anyway, the Pure Yang Academy applies to borrow Formless Puppets from our academy every year.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt that his decision to enter the academy was absolutely correct.

There wouldn’t be such benefits if he had gone to the academy.

“These three can only simulate up to the ninth level of Qi Refining. They can’t simulate the process of Foundation Establishment. That’s why they are cheap.”

Chai Lun began to introduce the three one-eyed puppets hanging on the wall.

“If I use it multiple times, can it be cheaper?”

Chen Mobai certainly couldn’t afford it, but he felt that ten thousand Good Deeds per use was a bit expensive.

“Every time it’s used, the spirit stone is exhausted. Although it’s just a low-grade spirit stone, my charging equipment is rudimentary, and the grade of the spiritual vein here is average. It takes a month to recharge, so charging you ten thousand per use is already at cost.”

Chai Lun shook his head, refusing to lower the price.

“Can this Formless Puppet imitation complete all the deductions of my Qi Refining level techniques at once and solve all the doubts and difficulties?”

If so, Chen Mobai decided to grit his teeth and rent it twice, but he didn’t know if the dual-phase function could be used for deduction.

“Junior brother, I won’t hide it from you. The current deduction result of this Formless Puppet imitation is definitely the most suitable for you.”

“But everyone is changing all the time. For example, we cultivators, every time we break through a realm, it’s actually an evolution and transformation. At this time, it’s best to adjust the previous deduction results.”

“It’s generally recommended to update the body model data and re-deduct once every time you break through a small realm. In your case, I think it’s better to order a deduction puppet.”

Since he was his own junior brother and was introduced by Professor Che Yucheng, Chai Lun’s words were very sincere.

“How many Good Deeds do I need to order a deduction puppet?”

“This is cheap, only two hundred thousand Good Deeds.”

Chen Mobai was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

Is this price still cheap?

But he had taken many puppetry courses in the Puppet Department of the Dance Instrument Academy these days, and he knew that this technology required such a large investment.

Each puppet is equivalent to a large collection of magical instrument parts, precise and delicate.

And deduction puppets are custom-made, many parts need to be handmade, which is a waste of time.

Chen Mobai looked at the money on his card. After his various expenses, the two hundred thousand given by Shen Juanxiu was only a little over one hundred and ninety thousand. He really couldn’t afford the full amount.

“Can it be cheaper? I can install the puppet power source myself, you just need to reserve a slot for the spirit stone.”

Upon hearing this, Chai Lun didn’t doubt it.

After all, Chen Mobai was a freshman in the Puppet Department of the Dance Instrument Academy and had taken many classes from Che Yucheng. Some geniuses had enough time to get started with puppetry.

“In that case, one hundred and ninety thousand Good Deeds.”

“I don’t need a spirit stone charging device either. I have an old set that I can install myself.”

Chen Mobai didn’t plan to use the spirit stones from the Immortal Gate that needed to be recharged repeatedly, but directly used the raw stones from the Tianhe Realm. He had earned quite a lot from chopping wood recently.

Upon hearing this, Chai Lun’s mouth twitched slightly, but he still lowered the price a bit.

“One hundred and eighty-five thousand.”

“I’ll maintain and upkeep it myself in the future, no need for after-sales service.”

“One price, one hundred and eighty thousand Good Deeds, junior brother, this is really the final price.”

Chai Lun calculated in his heart, confirmed that he could earn enough expected profit, and gave the final bottom price.

“Alright, when can this deduction puppet be delivered?”

Chen Mobai also accepted the offer, mainly because he was anxious about his cultivation.

During this period, Ming Yihua had also started to practice the Pure Yang Scroll, and two people in the Divine Transformation class who chose to practice the Participation Agreement had sensed their own life-participation objects.

“It might take a month. One of the partners in my workshop graduated last year, and another junior brother is at a critical moment of breaking through the realm and can’t get out. We’re short of hands now.”

Chai Lun wanted to extend the delivery time in the contract, but Chen Mobai was in a hurry.

“Can it be faster?”

“There’s no way, but I’ll try to finish it a few days earlier.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai could only agree. Chai Lun immediately printed a custom contract.

Since it was a custom order, 80% of the payment had to be paid in advance.

For his own cultivation, Chen Mobai was willing to invest heavily.After signing the contract, Chen Mobai immediately transferred the Good Deed to Chai Lun. Upon receiving the money, Chai Lun was eager to take Chen Mobai to the hospital for a full-body check-up to collect body model data.

“I’ve been scanned by the Red Heart Mirror before, Teacher Che has my data, you can ask him for it.”

Medical examinations cost money too, and Chen Mobai was keen to save wherever he could.

Chai Lun thought it made sense. The data from the Red Heart Mirror was definitely more accurate than that from the hospital.

Che Yucheng had Chen Mobai’s number saved as he had called him before.

After explaining the situation to Che Yucheng, the latter was very understanding. However, he asked Chen Mobai to come over and write an application himself, and the data could only be handed over to him personally.

Chai Lun had nothing else to do, so he went with Chen Mobai. Before they left, he bought a basket of spiritual fruits, after all, this business was introduced by this teacher.

“Keep it safe, don’t lose it.”

In the office of Building One, after Chen Mobai finished writing the application, Che Yucheng took out a USB drive that he had prepared from his drawer.

“Thank you, Teacher Che.”

Che Yucheng nodded, then suddenly asked Chai Lun a question.

“Gan Tao has graduated, your studio must be short of hands, right?”

“Yes, Teacher Che.”

Although Chai Lun didn’t know what Che Yucheng meant, he still answered respectfully.

“It’s his own acting puppet, you can take him under your wing.”
