I appeared on the second pouch, in any case, opening the primary one was gonna kill me, so I am higher off to not try to pry into ay traps.

For the second pouch, there have been no warnings, I really waited and even ‘Requested’ the e book if there was any hazard entailed in opening this pouch, however seeing that there was no such factor, I went forward.

The pouch solely wanted for me to infuse it with a little bit little bit of Qi, it did not matter if it was poison Qi or religious Qi, Qi is qi, and the pouch is impartial to the sort. So it opened, and the second I touched upon the edges of the pouch, it gave me an image of the whole lot inside it.

There have been 1000’s of capsule bottles and herbs locked in religious packing containers o protect them. There was additionally a small hill of small stones, that gave off highly effective religious power. Weapons of all types and robes, costume for the cultivator. These robes all had the identical coloration and form, and the identical brand, it was a sect’s uniform.

There have been additionally some tokens and essentially the most attention-grabbing have been cultivation books.

I additionally discovered a bit of a map, I pulled it and understood that this was the map to the Poison God’s cave.

Evidently all of those cultivators had a bit of the map, they gathered up and made the map as a complete after which went to the cave as soon as they found the situation of the treasure.

I ignored the remainder of the content material of the pouch because it did not have the rest value mentioning.

I continued trying on the different pouches and located a variety of good things, primarily weapons and herbs of the eight to the seventh ranks.

There was solely the primary pouch that I could not open, and it appears that evidently it belonged to the strongest cultivator of the bunch, so I used to be higher off retaining it for once I might open it whereas retaining my life.

I started by gathering all of the gadgets that I assumed are value my time within the Poison God’s e book, as for among the weaker weapons and a few therapeutic capsules, these I positioned in a pouch and positioned it on my facet.

I wanted to have a faux pouch for every time I discovered myself in hassle it could turn out to be useful to not have all my eggs in a single basket.

Now that is completed, I went again to the primary factor I used to be after, Puppet Making.

I began by pulling the puppet that was going to kill me again on the spider cave and positioned it down.

I had a couple of instruments that I discovered from one of many cultivators who appeared to have a facet curiosity in puppet making, and pulled them out.

I wanted to know how this factor works, and because of my data within the engineering area. This puppet was going to be an incredible mission.

As soon as the puppet was out, I started by dismantling it. I wanted to know the way it labored and the way I can mimic it.

The entire thing was actually tough to untangle, each screw and bolt had a mechanism to guard it and preserve it in place that I needed to pop off first earlier than reaching the screws. I managed to unbolt them and eliminated the top of the torso, and as soon as the top was out, I began by eradicating the appropriate hand which was the one limb left on its higher physique, after which the legs.

As soon as each piece was out, I observed that they did not appear to have any wires connecting them, so how did the limbs obtain the command to maneuver?

I figured I wanted to dig in deeper. The top did not appear to be it had something particular, supposedly it wasn’t the place the ‘mind’ was positioned.

I appeared on the chest space, the place the tip of the sword was embedded, there one thing that was dug in by the sword. I needed to open the chest to see clearly.

There was a small hidden plate that coated the screws of the torso, as soon as I eliminated the screws I used to be in a position to open the chest from the facet of it, it opened like a field revealing its inside.

There was a golden circle drawn within the chest space, and proper on the center was a damaged religious stone, although damaged and clearly outdated, it appeared to nonetheless have some religious power inside it. It could nonetheless work as an influence provide.

As soon as I made certain that the jeweled piece was faraway from its place, I started by finding out the circle. There appeared to have a number of unusual letters and symbols to it. They have been organized in numerous and varied shapes across the circle and the pinkish stone was powering them. But, with the sword dug in deep, the circle was damaged and it appeared that it not labored. The sword had lower by means of an incredible a part of it, leaving it barely readable. If I have been to reverse engineer this, I will want a reference level.

I began by pulling the opposite puppets and dismantling them, which took the higher interval of the night time, I might even understand it was day by the rising temperature within the room. Nonetheless, I labored diligently, heck this was bringing me again to my roots, and it was enjoyable. I loved utilizing my fingers particularly in something that dabs in precision and particulars.

As soon as I dismantled nearly all of the puppets I started by writing the symbols on a bit of paper, going from puppet to puppet, and found out a couple of issues.

Not each circle was a precise match to the opposite, there have been a couple of variations, particularly within the drawings. And the one which had essentially the most full and detailed and excellent circle was the primary puppet I dismantled, it appeared to have the very best quality. As for the stones, many of the different puppets had their stones destroyed and have been inoperable and unusable.

As soon as I in contrast the circles I managed a tough drawing of an entire one in a bit of paper. I studied it and understood another issues.

It appears for no matter causes these writings have been like programming codes and as soon as they’re put collectively they’ll make a ‘mind’ of types that may execute easy instructions. Although I did not absolutely perceive the precise that means of each image, I might get the gist of them. And with a couple of repetitions, I might handle to write down them.

I started by reproducing the circle on different items of paper, and after a very long time, I managed to completely draw the circle and will duplicate it from reminiscence alone.

Now I wanted to see how this drawing might revive a lifeless puppet. First issues first, I will want a puppet that’s in operable situation, and the one one that just about matches this situation is the primary puppet, although it has a deep gash in its chest and was lacking a limb, I used to be in a position to substitute them from different puppets.

Now that the chest was good and the left limb was taken from one other puppet, I put the entire thing collectively making the puppet. I opened its chest space and punctiliously wiped away the golden drawing that did not want greater than a moist material. Because it appears the ink that was used to write down this inscription wasn’t everlasting.

That was a flaw, think about if the puppet was in touch with water, that’ll make it defective instantly.

And although I do not know which ink I ought to use to write down the circle, I do know of a superb high quality ink that can be utilized to write down talismans. The Drowsy Inkberry. Which was a religious herb I acquired once I was within the purple Cloud Sect.

I took the drowsy Inkberry and adopted the instruction of the Poison God’s e book on the best way to course of it and make it into ink. It did not want greater than a little bit of dew water, and a pot which was in abundance within the cultivators’ pouches.

After batting the herb and mixing it with water then extracting the liquid that turned black after a short time, I pulled out a brush and started drawing on the puppet’s chest.

I accomplished the circle however left just one small line of it which is able to serve to shut the circuit. That line I wrote in common ink that may be eliminated with a splash of water, for causes that I’ll clarify later.

As soon as the puppet was completed and the circle was accomplished and closed, I positioned one of many spirit stones I had in my e book within the heart. Although this spirit stone wasn’t as highly effective because the pink one which was there earlier than, it must be sufficient to function the puppet at low energy.

Virtually instantly the puppet turned to life and it took a sluggish swing at my face. I dodged it and splashed its opened chest with a cup of water I had readied earlier than.

The puppet instantly stopped working as the road that was written in common ink had pale.

“Effectively, I suppose there’s a kill on sight command in that circle, the issue is I do not know which one…”

“Time for some trial-and-error assessments,” I mentioned and started by eradicating one of many symbols, the one method for me to determine the assault command was by the method of elimination, and solely once I eradicate the suitable image would the puppet really not assault me.

After which I started by changing symbols, eradicating them, altering them, rewriting them, and even writing unusual gibberish as a substitute of symbols that have been already written. This course of was going to take some time, and I had a variety of time…
