Chapter 1427: Chapter 1427: First Elder: Can I become your apprentice? Chapter 1427: Chapter 1427: First Elder: Can I become your apprentice? “You… how did you achieve this?” The First Elder sized up the puppet wielding a sword, looking extremely intricate

Even forgetting that Lu Changsheng was a beginner who had only studied the basic theory for half a day before he crafted this puppet.

The First Elder’s face was filled with fervor, a change from his previous dissatisfaction, he leaned in, continuously marveling with exclamations.

The puppet’s hands held swords, and its exterior was covered in purple lines, but on these lines, there were also traces of golden halos swirling around.

Even if he were to do it himself, he couldn’t achieve such intricate detail!

Lu Changsheng, upon hearing this, didn’t mind the First Elder’s previous underestimation and explained softly, “It’s quite simple, the exterior is made from the Tongtian Purple Copper Wood you mentioned earlier, then I incorporated the endless cycle into it, so it could repair itself when damaged, and of course, I added it into meridians as well.”

The endless cycle?

The First Elder’s expression showed shock, “But the stronger the material used to construct a puppet’s exterior, the greater the difficulty in applying the Power of Law, and moreover, just an ordinary exterior with the Power of Law, if it’s not fluid, it can’t be used!”

That’s right, after all, the puppet’s exterior is constructed from material without any life force, just like a person without meridians, a Dantian, or a capillary network under the skin— nothing more than an empty shell!

Lu Changsheng explained with puzzlement, “Didn’t I say I also incorporated the Power of Law into the meridians? By spreading the meridians throughout every part of the puppet, the cycle can circulate between the exterior and the meridians, and then it can be used, right?”

Those present were among the highest in puppetry on the Tianji Continent.

When they heard Lu Changsheng’s idea, they all inhaled sharply.

The First Elder was like a curious child, with endless questions, he exclaimed in amazement, “Meridians spread throughout the puppet? This structure is too difficult to complete, the number of meridians required is too many.”

At this point, the First Elder looked at Lu Changsheng with a serious expression, “May I… no, Senior, would it be possible for me to feel the meridian structure inside the puppet?”

Lu Changsheng gestured for him to proceed, not showing any refusal.

For other Puppet Masters, this would be strictly taboo.

But Lu Changsheng didn’t mind at all.

From what he saw before, they couldn’t replicate it anyway; even if they knew, they didn’t have the ability, so there was no harm in letting them see.

The First Elder placed his somewhat withered hand on the puppet’s chest.

His divine sense penetrated it.

Looking at the complex meridians inside, he couldn’t help but take another sharp breath!

Of course, although complex, there were traces to follow, seeming neat as well.

In the limbs and body, there was a main meridian, and from this main meridian thousands of branches spread! Connecting to various parts of the exterior.

The idea and creativity seemed easy to understand, but no one had thought of it.

And even if they did… they probably didn’t have the ability to do it.

The First Elder withdrew his hand, took a deep breath, then turned towards Lu Changsheng, his expression extremely solemn, his eyes showing reverence, he clasped his hands, and bowed deeply.

“Senior, I was disrespectful before. My vision is too narrow, I hope Senior can forgive me.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, not minding it.

On the contrary, he had some understanding and appreciation for characters like the First Elder.

The previous scorn wasn’t unfounded, it was because the First Elder had dedicated his life to the way of the puppet, immersed in it for too many years, and had developed a deep fondness for puppets.

That’s why he felt angry about Lu Changsheng’s previous somewhat flippant attitude.

Imagine someone who has been in the trade for a lifetime.

“You say you can learn it in a short time, and anyone would be angry at such words.”

Mo Yu looked at his father at this point, tilting his chin up proudly. “How about it, old man, my master is impressive, isn’t he?”

Mo Hanlin gave a wry smile and shook his head, “It seems I was blind.”

“So I can continue to follow my master?”

“Of course.”

Having such a strong figure as a master would benefit the Mo Family and Mo Yu immensely!

Mo Ling, Mo Xing, and the other elders were all a bit stunned, clearly not yet recovered from the events that had just transpired.

However, the next words from the First Elder shocked Mo Hanlin and the others.

The First Elder seemed to ponder for a moment, as if making a major decision, and asked, “Senior, may I cultivate with you?”

Lu Changsheng was taken aback, as he truly hadn’t considered that possibility.

As if fearing Lu Changsheng might refuse, the First Elder quickly said, “Rest assured, Senior, I will not hold you back, I am willing to start as an apprentice.”

For someone like the First Elder, who had a fixation on the Puppet Skill and had worked hard all his life, Lu Changsheng found he could not dislike him. He then turned to Mo Hanlin and said, “But you belong to the Mo Family.”

The First Elder turned around, walked up to the dumbstruck Mo Hanlin, and bowed, “Head of the family, I hope you will grant this!”

Seeing the First Elder’s determined heart, Mo Hanlin helplessly waved his hand, “First Elder, you are ultimately a member of Mo Family, but I cannot stand in the way of your future. If you wish to go, then go.”

The First Elder nodded, “Rest assured, if Mo Family faces trouble, the old man will take action.”

Mo Hanlin smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng also nodded in agreement.

Bringing the First Elder back to The Mortal Realm, he might be able to help Azure Heaven Academy significantly increase its strength.

And, he could delegate the task of collecting materials and dealing with miscellaneous items to him, allowing Liu Ziru to focus on being his test subject.

Otherwise, after testing medicines, it was often the case that Liu Ziru couldn’t move for days or even months, and then Lu Changsheng would have to do everything himself.

Seeing the agreement, the First Elder bowed, “Thank you, Senior!”

Lu Changsheng looked at Mo Hanlin, “In that case, I shall take my leave now.”

Mo Hanlin hurriedly bowed respectfully, “Please, Senior, but this puppet…”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, “Since it’s my first creation and it’s not perfect, I don’t want it. You can keep it and use it.”

Mo Yu also hurriedly said, “Right, Dad, these are my fellow apprentices. If they ever come to the Mo Family’s territory, you must treat them well!”

After saying this, he handed the portraits that Lu Changsheng had given him to Mo Hanlin.

Then, Lu Changsheng left with the First Elder and Mo Yu, departing from Mo Family.

Watching their receding figures.

The Second Elder hesitated before asking, “Is it really okay for the First Elder to leave?”

Mo Hanlin smiled and said, “Certainly, this way, we can even more closely bind our fortunes to the giant ship that is Master Mo Yu. Why wouldn’t we?”

With those words, Mo Hanlin looked at the puppet that had amazed everyone, “Besides, they’ve left us with such a fine gift.”

“Issue an order, store this puppet in the cabinet, and do not use it unless it’s a matter of life and death for the family!”
