Chapter 368 - 9: Mechanical Soul (Part 2)
"Should we prepare the bone growth serum for him?"
The Mechanical Divine Sect can activate the Mechanical Nanofluid previously injected into Duncan through a specific growth serum. Subsequently, the nanobodies assist in the body’s metabolism and growth development. As long as the age isn’t too high, desired height can be achieved through adjustments.
This is considered an internal benefit of the Steel Cast Sect, allowing customization of height and weight, but growth is only upward, not reversible. Once bulk is gained, it can’t be reduced.
The attendant of the Mechanical Church respectfully bowed his head and said, "Priest Kaela, I brought him here to obtain the Steel Cast Compound."
The technical monk slightly nodded, her expression indifferent, showing little change. A tentacle-like mechanical arm emerged from her lower body, etched with Steel Runes, then opened a sealed safety cabinet, and she said blandly, "Help yourself."
"Take six doses."
"One injection per month can accelerate training efficiency."
"The bone growth serum is next to it."
"Just take one dose."
"The injection should help you grow five to ten centimeters quickly."
Ian took out six rust-red injection compounds and then handed a pale yellow potion to Duncan.
As they took their items and prepared to leave, the technical monk turned to glance at Duncan again and said slowly, "What arrangements does Master Qiao have for him?"
"Will he be learning to engrave the Steel Cast Prayer tomorrow?"
This job is similar to welding, not a focus of cultivation, first do the work.
Ian shook his head, saying, "Master says to wait for the bishop to return first."
Hearing this, the technical monk asked no further questions and focused on her work instead. This place looked more like a vast factory workshop. At the opposite corner, Duncan saw the man who passed the assessment yesterday. The man’s expression was full of envy as he looked at Duncan, then lowered his head to control the mechanical arm on his back, concentrating on engraving the Steel Cast Prayer.
He had already implanted the Mechanical Nerve Bundle but hadn’t injected the Mechanical Nanofluid, essentially assigned to the logistics technical department.
Those lacking talent all start from logistics.
The church attendant guided Duncan through several places, which included the thick Mechanical Scripture resembling a brick as well as various daily necessities.
By the time he returned to his residence, it was completely dark outside.
Inside the room.
Duncan opened the thick Mechanical Scripture. The top half consisted of the Mechanical Divine Sect’s scriptures, while the bottom half contained various introductory knowledge, including meditating to perceive the Mechanical Soul, activating the injected Mechanical Nanofluid through specific training, and the roles and functions of different departments within the Mechanical Sect.
In other sects, after passing trials and assessments, basic mechanical modifications, known as the Mechanical Nerve Bundle and brain-machine interface, are usually provided, and learning materials can be downloaded from a central brain trust.
But in the Steel Cast Sect, sorry, initially, you must learn with your own brain. They are a traditional sect, not providing knowledge downloading services, at most offering an extra Mechanical Nerve Bundle, directly learning to engrave the Steel Cast Prayer on assembly lines, then considering other things after working for a while.
The daily management of the Steel Cast Sect is relatively relaxed, as they don’t have extensive learning tasks, focusing more on personal development.
Once reaching a certain level of strength, they implant the brain-machine interface to learn technical knowledge, although some special factions, like the Mechanical Electric Monk, can’t implant the brain-machine interface and have to train their brains to become mechanical bodies themselves.
"Perceive the Mechanical Soul within?"
"Source Power?"
"Should it mean Primordial Magic Power?"
"Attune with the God of Machinery through meditation? Then utilize the Machine Spirit’s power to mobilize the nanofluid within?"
"Feels a bit like the Taoist Zhou Tian and the Esoteric Buddhism Wheel Seal."
Duncan looked at it for a long time, feeling a strange sense that the cultivation methods of the Steel Cast Sect were reminiscent of meditation and energy cultivation postures.
Simply put, if you want to enhance something, meditate on the corresponding part. By resonating with the Mechanical Soul, mobilize the Mechanical Nanofluid within. They will automatically converge to specific parts of the body, then consume Primordial Magic Power, further strengthening and modifying the body.
Normally, Steel Cast Sect’s Mechanical Monks start with the lungs. Once this part of the modification is completed, they gain an actively activated magic-like ability called ’Steel Lung.’
However, if your talent is strong enough, you can ignore this order. You can start with the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, or kidneys, wherever you prefer.
The first step is to perceive the existence of the Mechanical Soul.
This process varies in length. Exceptional talents perceive their Machine Spirit within a day and even detect it externally, while those less gifted may spend years without significant progress, requiring external stimuli to mobilize the Source Power within.
Simply put.
If you want to enhance your thighs, meditate and introspect, perceiving the Machine Spirit, indirectly mobilizing the injected Mechanical Nanofluid. They will gather from other parts of your body, then, as if a factory is starting, they will stimulate your leg muscles, bones, and blood vessels, rapidly strengthening them, achieving results equivalent to years or decades of ordinary training.
But if you’re unable to sense the Machine Spirit and lack sufficient Source Power, you should train your legs honestly.
In daily exercise, the increased blood flow to your legs and your own metabolic cells will gather some Mechanical Nanofluid here, then enhance the areas you have trained.
