Ming Zhitian's voice trembled, "Yes, this is it, this is..."
Dongfang Min'er said, "This is called a Jade Body."
She then took out an ancient wooden box from her storage bag and opened it. A small piece of crystal clear, radiant jade, like flesh-colored skin, floated up from within.
Ming Zhitian held it in his palm and felt a sense of complete fusion. This was not just good jade, but an extremely rare treasure!
"Do you have many?" Ming Zhitian couldn't help but ask.
Dongfang Min'er shook her head, "No, I'm sorry, only this one piece."
Ming Zhitian said, "This can't even make a single finger."
Dongfang Min'er patted her chest, "I will use all my connections and resource networks, and mobilize people to help you find the whereabouts of more Jade Bodies."
Ming Zhitian nodded, "Thank you."
Dongfang Min'er said, "The favor I ask of you is very simple..."
With a wave of her hand, she summoned a puppet body that had been dormant for countless years from her storage bag.
She looked up at Ming Zhitian, "I have been searching for a super master skilled in mechanisms, and I have finally found him. I hope... you can help me revive someone, in the form of a mechanical puppet. Please do not refuse me."
Ming Zhitian asked doubtfully, "Why?"
"What?" Dongfang Min'er didn't understand.
Ming Zhitian walked to the puppet body and gently stroked it, "This is... a Divine Puppet body, infinitely close to a Saintly Puppet body?"
Dongfang Min'er nodded, "Divine Master Ming indeed has a discerning eye. This is a puppet body I have prepared for a thousand years, waiting for a true master surgeon."
Ming Zhitian said, "A thousand years? With your information network, surely countless mechanism masters would serve you. Why would you have to wait for a thousand years?"
Dongfang Min'er said, "I cannot afford even the slightest mistake."
Ming Zhitian asked, "Then why did you choose me...?"
Dongfang Min'er's eyes were very certain, "I trust you. With your strength and my accurate intelligence, you are absolutely the best candidate."
Ming Zhitian nodded. For him, it was all the same operation, something he could do with his hands, it didn't matter. "Who do you want me to help you revive?"
"Follow me." Dongfang Min'er put away the Divine Puppet body and led Ming Zhitian to a place...
The back mountain of the Ethereal Pavilion...
A tomb...
The surroundings were desolate, with only a lonely gravestone.
Dongfang Min'er cast a spell, "Coffin rise!"
A stone coffin rose from the earth. With a gentle pat from her hand, the lid opened, revealing a white-haired elder with his hair tied in a bun lying inside.
His features were slightly upturned, with a Western-style headband on his forehead. He wore the robes of a sage, his face was full and rounded, as if he were alive. He only closed his eyes; apart from his body being cold, there was no breath left.
Ming Zhitian recognized him at a glance, "This is Zhuge Shenhou?!"
He remembered that the encyclopedia in his mind was obtained by chance from Zhuge Shenhou's legacy, which had been infinitely useful to him until this day!
To think that knowledge, sealed for who knows how many centuries or millennia, was still so useful today, even better than any other method by a thousand times. Who could compete with such vast divine consciousness? The answer could only be Zhuge Shenhou himself!
Dongfang Min'er nodded, "Yes. Can you do it?"
Ming Zhitian said, "Naturally, one hundred percent. If I may be so bold, what is your relationship with Zhuge Shenhou?..."
Dongfang Min'er replied, "Former lovers."
Ming Zhitian nodded with understanding, "I see."
Dongfang Min'er said, "I want you to help me now. I have something I need to ask him."
