Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1022: Chapter 372: Cultivation of Three Together (Part 3)

Only Qing Chi was almost in tears.

Why was she so useless, and why did her fingers not obey and act out of shape at critical moments?

How could she possibly be outdone by a Mechanical Puppet, leaving her embarrassed!

As for why the Mechanical Puppet was so lively, Qing Chi lacked memory and common sense, so she wasn’t surprised by it.

Ning Zhuo nodded, praised Snow-Colored Girl Huì, which triggered a small wave of pride in her. Then, Ning Zhuo comforted and encouraged Qing Chi.

The young girl bit her tiger teeth, full of emotion, and immediately vowed to work even harder!

Ning Zhuo then let both parties compete again.

This time, Qing Chi gave it her all, and Ning Zhuo did not interfere. She made great progress as expected. But just as she got halfway, Snow-Colored Girl Huì had already succeeded again.

"Because it’s a mechanism, so once it’s made successfully, it will succeed every time?" Ning Zhuo’s eyes glinted sharply, keenly noticing that Snow-Colored Girl Huì’s talisman-making movements were identical to before.

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin wasn’t his creation. Ning Zhuo had made the mechanical bodies for Yuan Dasheng and Mengye Tiger. But both were combat types, and Ning Zhuo hadn’t taught them any cultivation techniques.𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

This situation with Snow-Colored Girl Huì was the first time Ning Zhuo had encountered it.

He felt he had guessed the truth.

He then began to experiment.

Sure enough, Snow-Colored Girl Huì succeeded in making talismans every time, with all her movements being the same.

Without Ning Zhuo’s secret interference, since Qing Chi succeeded with the first Featherweight Talisman, her speed only got faster. Because the talismans were too basic and simple, she hadn’t failed.

But each time, she never won against Snow-Colored Girl Huì.

"As long as Xiaohui masters talismans, her talisman-making speed is the fastest it can be."

"Qing Chi’s potential has much to be uncovered. If we do this ten more times, her speed will surpass Xiaohui’s."

"Each victory in making talismans brings out an emotional pride far greater than combat with Mechanical Beasts."

"It seems Snow-Colored Girl Huì inherited some traits from Ning Xiaohui’s lifetime. She leans more toward talisman-making than combat!"

With this discovery, the Mechanical Puppet’s position in Ning Zhuo’s mind shifted directly from combat type to production type.

"She should have some combat abilities, filling the gap in my combat power during the downtime of repairing Yuan Dasheng and Mengye Tiger."

"But in reality, she is more suited for making talismans."

"When she grows spiritually in the future, I should equip her with a cultivation technique specifically for making talismans!"

"Of course, before that, I’ll get her to try the other Cultivation Hundred Skills to test her true capability."

Ning Zhuo had a premonition that Snow-Colored Girl Huì’s role was indeed in talisman-making. But to be sure, it was necessary to try all cultivation techniques once.

Seeing Qing Chi about to surpass Snow-Colored Girl Huì, Ning Zhuo decisively spoke up: "Alright, next, I’ll teach you the second talisman."

Qing Chi exclaimed in surprise, but Ning Zhuo had already begun demonstrating, and she could only put aside her regret and focus on watching.

With the previous lesson, Qing Chi observed very carefully this time.

But when she tried to make the talisman, she still began to make frequent mistakes.

"What’s wrong with me?"

"It shouldn’t be difficult! Why am I so nervous?"

"Am I... too eager to perform well in front of the young master?"

Qing Chi grew increasingly anxious and began to doubt herself.

On the other side, Snow-Colored Girl Huì’s progress was naturally far weaker than Qing Chi’s. After all, she was only at the Life Spirit Stage, not yet grown to the Wisdom Spirit Stage.

Ning Zhuo wouldn’t let Qing Chi continue doubting herself. He decisively stood up, came over to Qing Chi, and directly took her hand: "I’ll help you, don’t be nervous, try to control your fingers, don’t let them shake."

Phew!

Qing Chi seemed to hear a rush of heated air shooting out from the top of her head.

At this moment, she felt like she was going to explode, her heart pounding erratically.

She stared blankly at Ning Zhuo’s hand, holding her own, feeling like she was in a beautiful dream.

Ning Zhuo taught her hands-on, patiently pointing out where she had just gone wrong, more meticulously and patiently than teaching a child.

Meanwhile, Ning Zhuo secretly observed Snow-Colored Girl Huì, seeing her start to move, repeatedly failing, her progress ramping up, nodding silently.

Qing Chi’s expression was stiff, her whole body growing tense, her mind no longer on talisman-making but rather focused on Ning Zhuo, constantly feeling the warmth of Ning Zhuo’s palm.

She forgot the passing of time, only feeling that everything was indescribably wonderful!

Until Snow-Colored Girl Huì succeeded in making the talisman again, Ning Zhuo let go, and she snapped back to reality.

The Mechanical Puppet tilted her head back again, even more exaggeratedly than before.

The reason was simple; her opponent had received more guidance, yet still lost to her.

In an instant, an overwhelming sense of pride was palpable!

Ning Zhuo had them attempt the second talisman-making once more. After Qing Chi was awakened, she started to concentrate fully, giving it her all, and with a talent that surpassed Ning Zhuo a bit, she quickly caught up again.

After her first successful talisman-making, she too achieved a 100% success rate, her speed ever-increasing.

But just as she showed signs of surpassing Snow-Colored Girl Huì again, Ning Zhuo decisively began to teach them the third talisman.

After demonstrating once, Ning Zhuo let them start trying.

The first line Qing Chi drew was crooked!

She, full of shyness, mustered the courage and eagerly looked at Ning Zhuo: "Young master, my talent in talisman-making is too low, please help me."

Ning Zhuo: ...

This time, he hadn’t used the Life Hanging Thread to influence her.

Ning Zhuo sighed inwardly, pretending not to know, once again hand-teaching Qing Chi.

Thus, all three parties achieved their own objectives.

The better part of the day passed, and Snow-Colored Girl Huì still needed to constantly express her emotions, not yet moving directly past the Spirit Movement Stage.

Comparing Yuan Dasheng, Ning Zhuo speculated inwardly: "Yuan Dasheng previously broke free of control and acted independently, venting his emotions extremely fiercely."

"Ning Xiaohui was different; her pride is like a trickling stream. Perhaps this determines that this is a slow, grinding process."
