“B-Bake me a real physical body?!”
Sitting in Gu Changsheng’s palm, Grandpa Yao’s [Rank 3 Jade-Turtle Plush Doll] nearly did a backflip off his own embroidered shell!
In the cultivation world, once an alchemist’s physical body was destroyed and their soul took refuge inside a spirit-artifact or plush vessel. Reconstructing a living, breathing body that could eat food, circulate Qi. Walk in the sun was one of the hardest miracles under heaven.
“Changsheng, don’t waste your precious points on a pipe dream for this old man!” Grandpa Yao protested hurriedly, waving his short green cloth flippers. “In the Nine-Continent Immortal Sects, casting an Incarnation Lotus Body requires a Rank 6 Heaven-Mending Pill, a ten-thousand-year Sacred Jade Lotus from an Upper-Realm sect pool, and seven-times-seven forty-nine days of thunder-fire refinement!
Even if you have a Rank 4 lotus root, a soul body forged without a heavenly adhesive will taste like dry sawdust and fall apart in the rain!”
“Who uses dry sawdust when we have Honey-Glazed Roast Duck Sauce right on the counter?” Gu Changsheng asked deadpan.
Ignoring the old alchemist’s protests, Gu Changsheng set the [Dad’s Care-Package Upgrade Box] in the center of the kitchen table. Ten-year-old Gu Ye Xiao, nine-year-old Gu Nian, seven-year-old Su Nuannuan, Auntie Qin. Newly ascended Rank 4 Grandpa Fu gathered eagerly around to watch.
