The sect mission is almost complete, and whether or not his magical treasure can successfully be refined, the ti is nearly up..."
These situations involve the highest level of secrets within the Sect Law Hall, and Elder Li indeed does not treat He Kao as an outsider.
He Kao suddenly slapped his forehead: "Zhou Yeming? I've heard that na, he's not on the list of Magic Sect disciples, but he's on my WeChat friends list, only the age doesn't quite match.
He's an engineer from our partnering organization, researching intelligent humanoid robots, working in Shenwan City, which is quite close to our group headquarters... is it him?"
Li Xiuyuan chuckled: "Yes, it's him. Actually, you two have already t."
He Kao: "Not very familiar, I've just recently encountered him in work, mostly contacted online. Their unit's business is primarily interfaced with Project Departnt Two under i Guyu… didn't expect this Engineer Zhou to be a Tier Six Artifact Master."
Li Xiuyuan: "Cultivation isn't written on one's face, and he doesn't know you're Hidden Moth, either."
He Kao: "Does i Guyu know Zhou Yeming?"
Li Xiuyuan: "Of course she knows."
He Kao: "Then let's follow your advice, I'm not in a hurry to reveal myself, waiting a bit longer won't hurt."
Li Xiuyuan: "Kang Rulin is still overseas, and the Sect Leader issue of the Micro Realm Sect will have to wait until he returns."
Before the Shi Family of Huiming had an incident, they secretly transferred a group of clansn and a batch of assets overseas. A while ago, Kang Rulin and Wild Phoenix went to North Arica on a covert investigation, primarily to probe the Xiao Alliance and incidentally to also investigate this matter.
Wild Phoenix had long since returned, but Kang Rulin found the whereabouts of the Shi Family's branch in Huiming and went to North Arica not long ago.
He Kao: "They already found them, how did Elder Kang handle it?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed: "The situation is sowhat complicated, so it hasn't been handled."
He Kao was astonished: "Not handled?"
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky: "Many things in this world aren't simply good or bad, aside from Magic Sect rules, there are many situations that need specific consideration.
I'll give you an address, visit it if you get the chance, but don't go now, wait until Kang Rulin cos back... do you have anything else?"
He Kao: "I want to borrow the Creation Cauldron from the Alchemy Sect, Sect Leader i has agreed, I'd like to ask you to go to the Immortal Pot Grotto Heaven, to convey a ssage to Elder Gu."
Li Xiuyuan laughed: "i has already sent sothing ahead, you co back again tomorrow at the sa ti and place, I'll give you the Creation Cauldron."
He Kao: "Thank you, Master Li!"
Li Xiuyuan: "Don't rush to thank yet, is there anything else you want? i has sent a congratulatory gift here; it wouldn't do for , an old man, to show nothing in return."
He Kao: "What you've given is already plenty, even if the Xingshen Sect were to send a congratulatory gift, it'd be for later. For now, I'd like to ask you about sothing, this Avatar Technique."
Both the old and young here are not in their true forms; for He Kao, it was the first ti to display the Hidden Moth Sect's Yin Spirit appearance, and also the first ti to see the Xingshen Sect's illusion form, hence wanting to inquire about it.
Do other major Magic Sects have similar avatar techniques, and if so, which sect's technique is more advanced, or what are their characteristics?
Jiang Daozhen had long imparted to He Kao the complete secret techniques of the Seven Great Magic Sects, with so content only decipherable after He Kao reached Tier Six Cultivation, but aside from the Xingshen Sect's illusion thod, no other avatar techniques were introduced.
What Jiang Daozhen imparted was ancient techniques from a thousand years ago, mainly fundantal techniques. Magic Sects have also progressed over the millennia, and many things are unknown to He Kao, like the alchemy technique later passed down to him by Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan beca intrigued, his illusion marvelously lifelike, squinting as he said: "Though I am an elder of the Sect Law Hall, there's much I don't know, even today's Yin Spirit manifestation technique of yours is my first ti hearing about it.
However, one thod exceeds even my sect's illusion art, the Art of Skin Painting. Few can master the Art of Skin Painting, its origin being the puppet body technique from the Micro Realm Sect…"
The so-called puppet body from the Micro Realm Sect is actually about using artifact refining techniques to create a false person, controlled by divine sense.
In the Divine Thought Heart Seal that Jiang Daozhen passed to He Kao, it also introduced a minor technique from Micro Realm Sect called Bamboo Segnt Dance, using bamboo joints to craft a half-foot tall little mannequin, manipulating it to perform certain actions.
Bamboo Segnt Dance is an entry level technique of the puppet body, in the past was a performance trick in Jianghu, far removed from the avatar techniques.
Crafting a realistic puppet body is difficult, requiring special materials to be refined repeatedly, with a very low success rate.
Even if one succeeds in creating a puppet body, flaws are easily noticeable, as it always falls short compared to a real person, plus these puppet bodies are costly to produce, and refining them demands considerable effort.
Approximately three hundred years ago, a patriarch of the Micro Realm Sect made significant improvents to the traditional puppet body technique, no longer focusing on creating a human-shaped puppet body, instead directly painting a person's image.
Micro Realm Sect's unique divine technique enables the sensation, extraction, and assignnt of spirituality to items, using special techniques and painting materials to draw people, the more precious the materials, the finer the craftsmanship, the better the technique's effect.
This technique, based on the puppet body thod, also draws from the Xingshen Sect's illusion techniques and Qi Observation Sect's symbol techniques, being called the Drawing Body Technique, yet more commonly known as the Art of Skin Painting.
As long as the drawn image is marvelously lifelike, the activated drawing body can appear extrely real, the prerequisite being great familiarity with the depicted person, hence the best Art of Skin Painting is painting oneself, achieving an effect similar to that of an avatar.
