Chapter 473: Demands, of course, are constantly raised

Gongshu Ling’s cave doesn’t look like a weapon refining workshop, but more like a torture chamber or a slaughterhouse!

Along the way to Shanglu, they didn’t see many magical weapons, but they did see a lot of various mutilated limbs, people and monsters that had been skinned and dissected.

Some people and monsters had been dissected beyond recognition, even torn into pieces, but they were still alive and moving.

It’s so creepy and makes your scalp tingle.

There were also some strange residual spirits that looked like internal organs, which were also cut into slices and were struggling and squirming in the vessels covered with witchcraft characters.

At the same time, Shang Lu also saw some residual souls, locked in crystal boxes, and no one knew what they were doing.

But it can be seen that every scattered soul is in great pain and keeps hitting the crystal box to escape, but it is in vain.

Shang Lu was more and more surprised and couldn’t help asking: “Senior Sister, isn’t this a witchcraft workshop? What’s going on?”

“They are all research objects.”

Gongshu Ling’s voice came through Feitou Man:
“Although the flesh is weak, it is undeniable that its structure has many subtleties that are worth learning.

I dissected these people, beasts, and monsters to figure out the principles of tendons, bones, and veins and the direction of their breath. After optimizing them, I can apply them to the witch armor. Especially the spiritual energy atlas of the direction of breath. Without this thing, the witch armor can only have brute force but cannot use it. “

After a pause, as if he had guessed what Shang Lu was surprised about, Gongshu Ling continued:
“The research objects here are all prisoners I got from Zhenshou Peak. Each of them is an evil heretic who has committed many evil deeds. But they all have special abilities, so I asked for them… For example, the man on your left is good at using weapons to set up formations, so I dissected him to see how the aura in his body circulated when he used the weapons to set up formations. Based on this, I designed the talisman formation. Unfortunately, its power is still a little lacking. It should be that some part of it has not been studied thoroughly. I have to do further dissection research on it.”

Shang Lu looked at the “person” on the left.

This can no longer be called a human being.

His skin, flesh, blood, internal organs, etc. were all peeled off, and countless tubes with strange witch patterns were inserted to maintain his vitality… That’s right, although this man has been peeled off like this, he is not dead yet.

At least the body is not dead yet.

The organs were still beating, and blood and breath were still flowing in the veins. All this data was recorded by the wooden kite beside him.

But even so, Gongshu Ling still wanted to dissect him?

What would the dissection look like?

“This method is even more cruel than the old criminals in my thief Cao’s office. I really should let those criminals come over and learn a few tricks from you, Senior Sister.”

Shang Lu sighed in his heart and asked, “What about those residual souls? Are they also experimental subjects?”

“Yes, they are new to me.

Your previous sentence reminded me that it is far from enough to just transform the physical body into a witch armor, the soul must also be transformed and upgraded.

So, I asked the ghost witch in the courtyard for a batch of souls. Some were human, some were beasts, and some were demons, but unfortunately I couldn’t get any spirits.”

Shang Lu looked shocked.

He really couldn’t remember when he had reminded Gongshu Ling to transform his soul?
At the same time, he did not expect that Senior Sister Gongshu was so bold as to set her sights on the soul.

He was just intercepting the divine power.

If you really encounter a spirit, and you are not polluted or affected, it is all because of your ancestors’ good fortune. Do you still want to dissect it for research? I’m afraid you will be studied.

Just as I was sighing, I suddenly heard Gongshu Ling say, “I still want to study you.”

“what?”

Shang Lu was frightened. He didn’t want to be dissected with his skin and dirt left behind.

He begged for mercy: “Senior Sister, please let me go. I am just an ordinary person. My cultivation is far inferior to yours. It is not worth your time to study me.”

Gongshu Ling said, “Don’t underestimate yourself. Although your cultivation is not good enough, you have a great destiny. Promise me that if you die one day, give me your body for research. I want to try and see if I can find out why you have a great destiny.”

Shang Lu smiled bitterly: “Senior Sister, can you please look forward to me a little more? Don’t always wish me dead.”

Gongshu Ling was unconcerned: “What are you afraid of? Your body is weak. As long as your soul is not dispersed, you can just replace your body with a witch armor when you die. Once you have used the witch armor, you will not feel that your body is good anymore.”

Shang Lu shook his head. He didn’t want to turn himself into a witch for the time being. That would be too cyber-cultivational.

He didn’t want to continue this topic, and before he could change it, he heard a series of shrill screams coming from the side.

Following the sound, Shang Lu saw a witch formation.

Inside the barrier, there was a disciple from the Witch Academy who was being surrounded and stabbed by hundreds of flying needles.

Each flying needle flashed with strange witchy light and burst out with lightning.

Although the Witch Academy disciples tried their best, they could only be beaten and electrocuted, screaming and wailing continuously.

“Senior sister, that senior brother, is he also an experimental subject?”

Shang Lu was very surprised.

It would be fine to experiment with the bodies and souls of evil spirits, but why did you also torture the disciples in the same academy?
What terrible sin had this disciple committed that he had to be struck by lightning and electrocuted here?
“He is not.”

Gongshu Ling controlled the Feitou Man, glanced in the direction of Shang Lu’s finger, and said in a calm tone: “He is here to help me test the effect of the magic weapon.”

“What?” Shang Lu took a breath.

“Senior Sister, when you asked me to help you test the magic weapon, you didn’t do it this way, did you?”

“Of course not.” Gongshu Ling replied.

Shang Lu was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard her say, “What you want to test is much more powerful than this.”

Damn it? Shang Lu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Sister, thank you for thinking highly of me.”

“You’re welcome.”

Gongshu Ling didn’t seem to understand the true meaning of Shang Lu’s words.

At this moment, Shang Lu finally understood why Gongshu Ling was so terrifying in the Baiyi County Witch Academy.

I also understood why the disciples who came to deliver things outside the cave did not dare to get too close.

Despite Gongshu Ling’s evil ways of doing things, she was not expelled from the Witch Academy as a cultist, all thanks to her amazing talent and high attainments in refining witchcraft weapons.

“Senior Sister, I’m afraid you don’t have many friends in the Witch Academy?” Shang Lu sighed.

“What do I need friends for? The magic weapons and experimental subjects here are all my friends.”

Gongshu Ling spoke in a calm tone, not thinking there was anything wrong with not having friends.

But after a pause, she continued, “You can follow my thoughts, so you can be considered my friend.”

“Thank you, Senior Sister, for thinking highly of me. I am very honored.”

Shang Lu used his eloquence to flatter the emperor.

In the future, I will have to trouble Gongshu Ling frequently to help refine magical weapons, so I have to maintain a good relationship.

After walking a little deeper into the cave, Shang Lu finally saw Gongshu Ling.

She still looked like a witch weapon, but her head had been removed and connected to many metal tubes engraved with witch characters.

It is estimated that she used this method to turn the entire refining workshop into her “body”, so that she could multitask and complete multiple tasks at the same time.

Wu Jia, who had taken off his head, was not idle either. He was busy in front of a huge furnace.

There was a witch formation built inside the furnace, with a blazing witch fire burning. The faint blue flames were refining the few remaining spirits that the Witch Academy awarded to Gongshu Ling.

“These residual spirits can be used to forge new witch armor, but they must be calcined first to remove impurities and chaos.”

When he saw Shang Lu, two red lights lit up above Wu Jia’s head, and Gongshu Ling’s voice was heard at the same time.

Shang Lu sighed: “Senior sister’s witchcraft workshop really opened my eyes.”

Gongshu Ling didn’t care about his flattery, but urged him: “Tell me, what do you need from Wu Jia that you have to come to me for a special meeting.”

Seeing that she got straight to the point, Shang Lu didn’t hesitate and immediately expressed his thoughts:
“First of all, I hope that this witch armor can be like the wooden kite, allowing me to control it directly with my mind. At the same time, it can have a certain degree of self-operation ability. When I am not controlling it, it can independently execute simple commands and provide timely feedback when encountering complex problems. Even if it is far away, I can take over and handle it…”

Gongshu Ling said nothing, but just listened to Shang Lu’s request.

Because she had given up her physical body, no changes in her emotions could be seen from the witch armor. Shang Lu didn’t know whether she could do what he said, and what he thought of it. He could only continue to talk:
“In addition, this wizard armor must be strong enough, preferably able to withstand the attacks of high-level wizards above the third rank. It also needs to be fast, the faster the better. If I encounter an enemy I can’t defeat, I can rely on it to escape. Oh, and yes, there must be no shortage of attack methods, such as flying swords, flying needles, talismans, etc., and they must be equipped with all of them, and their power cannot be too weak. There are also means of reconnaissance and treatment…”

Shang Lu counted on his fingers and listed a long list of requirements in an eloquent manner.

No wonder he wanted to talk to him in person. With so many demands, it might not be possible to explain them clearly through the Witch Academy Jade Card.

After a while, Shang Lu stopped talking until his mouth was dry. “For now, these are all the requests I can think of. What do you think, Senior Sister? Is what I asked for too much? Can it be met?”

“sure.”

Gongshu Ling’s answer was very straightforward, which surprised Shang Lu.

He thought that since he had listed so many demands, Gongshu Ling would scold him for being too greedy.

“But you have to do something for me first.” Gongshu Ling added.

“What are you doing?” Shang Lu asked hurriedly.

If we could really create the wizard armor according to the requirements he put forward, not to mention making one thing, even making ten or eight pieces would be no problem.

“Go find the chief priest and ask him to find a way to revive the mountain ghost. Then I will kill you and sacrifice your body to it to see if it works.”

Gongshu Ling’s tone was so serious that Shang Lu was unsure whether she was trying to deceive him.

“Senior sister, are you kidding me?”

“You were the one who made the joke on me first.”

Gongshu Ling snorted, “You’ve made so many requests. Do you think I’m a mountain ghost who can grant all requests? Even if I can really pile so much stuff on the witch armor, the reactor and the spiritual energy atlas won’t be able to support it! With your Zhoutian realm cultivation, you can’t control it!”
