Chapter 183: Custom Made l



“Was the Formless Puppet made by Teacher Che Yucheng?”

Chen Mobai managed to seize the key point in Chai Lun’s words.

“The theory was developed in collaboration by Teacher Che and Master Xin Ji from Jumang Daoist Academy. Unfortunately, Master Xin Ji passed away twenty years ago. Since then, Teacher Che has stopped making Formless Puppets.”

“So, it can’t be purchased elsewhere.”

“With Teacher Che not making them anymore, the remaining thirty-six pieces are absolutely precious.”

There are only thirty-six Formless Puppets in the entire sect; Dance Tool Dao Academy has eighteen, and Che Yucheng has also given eighteen to Jumang Daoist Academy.

“Doesn’t Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Repairing Heaven Institute have any?”

Chen Mobai looked surprised. Could the Formless Puppet be a privilege solely enjoyed by their two Daoist Academies?

“They do have it. Teacher Che publicly shared the manufacturing method of the Formless Puppet. Kunpeng Daoist Institute and Repairing Heaven Institute have masters in Puppetry Technique and have made puppets with similar functions, but they refer to them as ‘Unlimited Puppets’.”

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

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

After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt that his decision to enroll in the Daoist Academy was absolutely correct.

There would be no such benefits if he had gone to the Academy.

“These three can only simulate up to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation and cannot simulate the Foundation Establishment process. That’s why they are so cheap.”

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

“If I use it many times, can I get a discount?”

While Chen Mobai was certain he could not afford to buy it, he still found the price of ten thousand Good Deed points per use to be somewhat expensive.

“Each use drains the spirit stone completely. Even though it uses only lower-grade spirit stones, my device for energizing is crude, and combined with the mediocre level of Spirit Vein here, recharging takes a month. The price of ten thousand per use is already at cost.”

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

“Can this Formless Puppet imitation complete the simulation of all my Qi Cultivation techniques and identify all the problems and difficulties?”

If this were the case, Chen Mobai would decide to grit his teeth and rent it twice, even if the function for the ‘Union of Differences’ could not be used for simulation.

“Junior brother, let me be frank with you. The current result of the Formless Puppet imitation simulation is definitely the most suitable for you,”

“But everyone changes every moment. For example, we cultivators, every time we break through a realm, it is actually a process of evolution and transformation. At that time, it would be best to adjust the previous simulation results.”

“Generally, it is recommended to update your body model data and redo the simulation every time you break through a minor realm. For your case, it may be better to custom-make a simulation puppet.”

Since Chen Mobai was his own junior, and also introduced by Professor Che Yucheng, Chai Lun advised him sincerely.

“How many Good Deed points are needed to custom-make a simulation puppet?”

“It’s cheap, only two hundred thousand Good Deed points.”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai was left speechless for a moment.

Is this price considered cheap?

However, having attended several puppet-related courses these days, he knew this technology required such a large investment.

Each puppet is equivalent to a collection of large Magic Artifact components, precise and intricate.

Moreover, simulation puppets are custom-made, many parts need to be handcrafted, which is a huge waste of time.

Chen Mobai checked the money on his card. After his various expenses, the two hundred thousand given by Shen Juanxiu was left with slightly more than one hundred and ninety thousand. He just couldn’t afford to pay the full amount. “Could you lower the price a bit? I can install the Puppet Power Source myself. You just need to reserve a slot for the Spirit Stone.”

Hearing this, Chai Lun did not express any doubt.

After all, Chen Mobai was a new student of the Puppet Department of Dance Tool Dao Academy and had attended quite a few of Che Yucheng’s classes. As a budding prodigy, he had enough time to master the basics of Puppetry Technique.

“In this case, one hundred and ninety thousand Good Deed Points.”

“The Spirit Stone recharging device also doesn’t need matching, I have an old set, I can install it myself.”

Chen Mobai had no intention to use the sect’s Spirit Stone that required repeated recharging, but to use the ores from the Tianhe realm directly, especially since he had earned quite a bit from chopping logs recently.

Upon hearing this, Chai Lun slightly twitched at the corner of his mouth, but still lowered the price a bit.

“One hundred and eighty-five thousand.”

“I will maintain it myself afterwards, after-sales service is not needed.”

“Fixed price, one hundred and eighty thousand Good Deed Points, junior brother, this is really the final price.”

After calculating in his mind, once Chai Lun was sure he could earn a considerable profit with the expected value, he also gave his final bottom price. “Alright, when can this simulation puppet be delivered?”

Chen Mobai took the deal, primarily because he was urgently concerned about his own cultivation.

During this period, Ming Yuhua had begun the Transfer to Pure Yang Scroll and had made some progress. Two people in the Metaphysical Class who chose to cultivate “The Union of Differences” had also sensed their respective Fate-match items.

“It might take a month. One of the partners in our workshop graduated last year, and another junior is at a crucial moment of breaking through the realm and can’t leave. We are short-handed.”

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

“Could it be faster?”

“That would be impossible, but I will try to finish it a few days in advance.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai could only nod in agreement. Soon after, Chai Lun immediately printed up a custom-order contract.

Since it was a personal custom-order, an 80% down payment was required.

For his cultivation, Chen Mobai was willing to invest a big sum.

After signing the contract, he immediately transferred the Good Deed Points to Chai Lun. Upon receiving the money, Chai Lun was enthusiastic about taking Chen Mobai for a full body examination at the hospital to collect body model data.

“I’ve seen the Soulful Mirror before, Teacher Che has my data, you can ask him for it.”

Medical examinations cost money too. Chen Mobai wanted to save wherever he could.

Chai Lun thought that made sense too. The data captured by the Soulful Mirror was definitely more accurate than that of the hospital.

Professor Che Yucheng had given Chen Mobai a call before, and he saved it.

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

Chai Lun didn’t have much else going on, so he went with Chen Mobai. Before leaving, he also bought a basket of Spirit Fruits. After all, this business deal was introduced by this particular teacher.

“Take good care of it. Don’t lose it.”

In the office at No. 1 Building, Chen Mobai wrote the application. Che Yucheng took out a flash drive that had been prepared from his drawer.

“Thank you, Teacher Che.”

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

“Gan Tao graduated. Your workshop should be short-handed, right.”

“Indeed, Teacher Che.”

Chai Lun, unsure why Che Yucheng had asked this, still responded respectfully.

“He is making his own simulation puppet. You can mentor him..”
