The blueprints for the Jade Book Tower had long been given to the Thousand chanism Pavilion by the tower itself.
But because of previous funding limitations and a lack of ideas, and partly due to the Thousand chanism Pavilion cultivators’ distaste for construction projects, the plan to open a branch of the Jade Book Tower remained in a state of verification and indefinite shelving.
Only Lily, bored and with nothing else to do, created a First-Layer magical artifact fra just for fun.
Now Lily, having integrated with Fuji and wearing a Fuji Brand combat isolation suit, walked into this abandoned building’s first floor.
Holding that charred fragnt of the Human Emperor Banner, she stood in the innermost circle of the array and said to Fuji.
"I’m going to operate you now, alright?"
"Mm, I’ll cooperate with you," Fuji replied cheerfully.
Under Lily’s control, pale blue tendrils extended outward from Fuji as the center, twisting and splitting at the ends into the prototypes of small arrays.
Fuji was using her own body to fill in the incomplete talisman array nodes that Lily had skimped on.
However, the process was a bit slow, as occasionally a small piece of Fuji, excited from the argunt with the Human Emperor Banner, would detach from the main Fuji body and leap out from the ends of the tendrils.
Then this rebellious Fuji would be frantically caught back by other small pieces of Fuji.
"Hahaha! I am the world champion, who dares stop ! Who dares stop ! Aaah!" a mischievous little Fuji popped its head up.
"Get back here, get back, quickly grab that idiot!" another little Fuji reached out and pushed the head-popping one back.
"Ouch, you stepped on my foot!" shouted a little Fuji from who knows where.
"Idiot, we don’t have feet right now!"
"Impossible! It must have been you who stepped on ! Don’t step on my feet again!"
"Stop quarreling, can we be just a bit united!"
"No! If saying things conducive to unity isn’t helpful, we are free little creatures, we...mmph!"
"Eat my foot!"
In short, it was very chaotic.
After a long self-conflict, Fuji and Lily finally completed the first floor of the rough Jade Book Tower, though it looked sowhat strange, differing from Lily’s initial vision and Fuji’s previous promises...
The rough building now appeared sowhat disgusting.
Blue mycelium and cysts were intertwined, with tendrils of varying sizes covering all the walls.
In a biohazard, it could directly be used as a boss room.
To connect the array and maintain the basic operation of the Jade Book Tower, under the control of Fuji, the tendrils and sli molds slowly and rhythmically pulsated, emitting a heartbeat-like sound.
Amidst this rhythmic heartbeat, there were occasionally so inexplicable murmurs.
For example...
You stepped on my foot.
"Just saying, where did you learn this thod, Fuji?"
Lily looked at the completed rough building and felt sothing was off, with an indescribable weirdness.
Her eyes were fixated on a corner, which was a talisman array node designed to convert spiritual Qi and neutralize the useless spiritual Qi vortex generated during the operation of the Jade Book Tower.
However, the talisman array node, which should have been filled with Spirit Charm and the beauty of artifact refining, now looked quite like a kidney wrapped in rotting intestines.
Of course, it was blue.
"Oh, this? Senior Sister Xiaoxue taught ," Fuji replied.
"Ah? The dicine King Valley knows this too?" Lily was stunned.
"Xiaoxue said that very long ago, there was a madman from there, who thought that not only spirit plants but also flesh and blood creatures should be used as ingredients for concoctions..."
After pausing, Fuji continued, "That madman planned to use humans as cauldrons, demons as fuel, barbarians as pellets, refining the Qi and blood of the three races to form flesh and blood talisman arrays.
"The goal was to refine his or others’ organs into flesh and blood magical artifacts and achieve immortality through constant replacent."
"And then what happened?" Lily, ever timid, listened and got goosebumps.
"In the end, he played himself to death," Fuji answered.
Lily, "Huh?"
"Yes, he played himself to death. He made lots and lots of preparations, but he lost control when transforming himself into the Flesh and Blood Cauldron.
"But don’t worry, I won’t lose control; after all, I’m not made of flesh and blood, I’m Fuji," Fuji said confidently.
"So, this..." Lily’s sense of unease grew as she looked at the tendrils and tissues around.
"Yes, that’s the thod developed by that person for constructing flesh and blood arrays. If you want, I can change the color for you," Fuji offered.
"No! Don’t you dare..."
Unluckily, Lily’s refusal ca half a beat too late, as those pale blue tissues were transford by Fuji into a blood-red hue.
The harmony filter vanished, and a wet, sticky, fleshy hell was presented before Lily.
The utterly timid Lily retched instantly inside Fuji’s body.
"Quick, change it back! Ugh..."
"Ah, don’t puke inside my body..."
"Ugh, change... blegh, don’t plug my mouth with tendrils, mmm..."
"Ew! The stuff you’re vomiting is so gross..."
In short, after much delay, Lily and Fuji finally quieted down. Lily leaned inside Fuji, drenched and sensing the softness around her, she removed the tendril from her mouth and weakly asked.
"What were we here for?"
"To argue with the Human Emperor Banner!" a small piece of Fuji’s head popped out from the distant blue kidney and answered loudly.
"Right, right, the Human Emperor Banner."
Finally recalling the task at hand, Lily activated the array of this rough Jade Book Tower, and amid the spiritual vibration and the hushed "don’t step on my foot" murmuring, that small segnt of the Human Emperor Banner fragnt floated up.
