Chapter 90: Chapter 90: A special profession
Luna, her face etched with despair, ignored the cries of her daughters-in-law and granddaughters behind her. She set down her child and walked straight to the closed sanctuary, violently pulling shut the stone door next to Nathan's Psychic Sanctuary.
Inside, Nathan, who was in deep meditation, heard the noise and asked, "My dear, why have you come to meditate too? Aren't you a demon cultivator currently seeking opportunities?"
"What kind of good days have I lived before?" Luna muttered something Nathan couldn't understand, then smiled broadly, "Head of the household, it's so peaceful in the human world now, truly wonderful."
...
"Ha ha ha! My Blackwood is finally going to grow strong, these kids are truly amazing!" Ethan was overjoyed, naturally unable to feel Luna's pain.
As long as he wasn't the one taking care of the kids, they were definitely adorable.
He was now keenly aware of the terrifying speed of population growth when it reached a certain number and was unchecked.
"Wait until Paul, Andrew, and Nancy start having kids, tsk tsk."
Ethan felt that by then, the family would be even stronger.
Soon, it was the second year.
[Blackwood Year 61.]
[Your descendant Paul has married Laura.]
[Received Spiritual Tribute +10]
As the children's marriages became more frequent, the people of Blackwood grew accustomed to it. The elders would temporarily come out of their meditations to drink the tea offered by the younger generation, then return to their seclusion.
And Laura was showing her pregnancy. Luna, coming out of seclusion, just glanced at Laura's swollen belly and her face changed dramatically. She only drank half her tea before hurriedly returning to the Psychic Sanctuary and shutting the stone door.
[Your daughter-in-law Mary has broken through and reached the Emerging Ability stage!]
That year, Blackwood gained another person in the Emerging Ability stage, and Mary, the female knight, joyfully came out.
She helped take care of the family for a couple of days.
Initially, she was elated, telling everyone about becoming a grandmother, but later her face turned dark and she ran back to meditate.
[Your daughter-in-law Mary, containing the Beast King Pill, vows not to leave seclusion until she reaches the peak of Emerging Ability!]
"My daughters-in-law in Blackwood, have they all been working so hard?" Ethan felt deeply gratified.
One piece of good news followed another this year.
Especially Julian!
This guy, who had been forging for several years, finally stopped swinging his hammer madly in the forge and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
[You used 'Forebearer's Warmth', consuming 20 Spiritual Tribute points.]
"Thanks to Forebearer's Divine Gift, Forebearer, my child has succeeded, ha ha ha, an eighth-grade psychic equipment master!"
Julian laughed and then cried.
After many years of forging, who knew how many times he wanted to give up?
He suddenly realized, he was like an iron tree, all his perseverance and effort were waiting to bear fruit today!
"Forebearer, look at my hands, look at this AI Bionic Robot, woo~"
Following the direction Julian pointed.
Ethan saw his silver prosthetic limb, and standing still nearly two meters tall, its eyes flashing golden light... a copper-colored AI Bionic Robot!
[Your descendant, after years of forging, never admitting defeat, blacksmith profession, advanced to——]
[Eighth-grade Psychic Puppeteer Blacksmith!]
The second generation at Blackwood was the craziest yet.
You could even say they were the craziest people Ethan had ever seen.
Lucas was killing people at a young age, and with only mediocre skills, he dared to enter the Garcia stronghold alone and killed Dexter. He even created his own martial arts techniques, already possessing the qualifications of a swordsmanship grandmaster.
Amelia practiced both medicine and poison, directly achieving a celestial fetus.
Olivia simply refused to cultivate psychic powers, instead achieving enlightenment and writing major literary works on her own.
And then there was Julian, the third child...
He was the most talented, hopelessly addicted to blacksmithing, his cultivation progress far behind others, but now it was finally time for his fervor to bear fruit!
[Psychic Puppeteer]
[Transforming zombies with the Straight Death Coffin, combined with the forging methods of Energy Stones and Storage Rings, and the craftsmanship of AI Bionic Robots, this is a special profession.]
Ethan had never seen such a profession in the real world!
Ethan even hesitated to say whether this technology was superior or inferior to that of war AI Bionic Robots because... Julian was only at the eighth rank now, what about the seventh, sixth, or even later ranks?
But this was also an extremely difficult path.
After all, Julian was like walking on a road no one else had crossed, groping his way forward.
"Forebearer, look!"
As Julian presented the Ethan tablet, it floated up, and Julian, like a child showing off to an adult, excitedly introduced the psychic puppet.
"My child knows he can't manufacture the renewable flesh inside a war AI Bionic Robot, but he thought of the zombies in the Straight Death Coffin!"
Julian lifted the copper-colored AI Bionic Robot mask, reminiscent of an ancient heavy cavalry warrior, revealing a zombie inside that looked somewhat familiar...
Wasn't this the mummified corpse of Wild Dragon from the Dragon and Tiger brothers?
"This guy was a Transcendent Seed in life, drained of blood, lost his psychic abilities, but his body's strength still reached the peak of Foundational Energy. With a special kind of eerie silk, the zombie can manipulate the outer armor!"
Then Julian tapped the armor, and in a flash.
The armor sci-fi-like expanded.
From two meters tall, the psychic puppet grew to five meters, brimming with a sense of power!
Another tap, and the formations on its body activated, returning it to its original size.
"The materials on its body, made by smashing Sumi stones used in Storage Rings and primarily using celestial iron from Garcia mines, reach up to the eighth rank!"
"And..."
Julian, like a mad scientist, frantically introduced, his whole body trembling.
"My child has forged movable top-grade psychic equipment!"
He shouted out loud, and Julian, happy and splendid, fainted.
Scared, Ethan quickly sent him a 'Forebearer's Warmth'.
"Genius... no."
Ethan shook his head, his eyes filled with awe, genius was no longer enough to describe this muscular man.
[Your descendant Julian, through an unyielding spirit, has forged top-grade psychic equipment after years of forging, achieving the eighth rank psychic puppet.]
[Breakthrough, mid-stage Emerging Ability!]
[Trait acquired: Ancestor of Psychic Puppets]
[When using psychic puppet equipment, combat power increases by 20%. Knowledge of psychic abilities and AI Bionic Robots significantly enhanced.]
"Awesome."
Even after Julian was revived by the pharmacist of the psychic medicine garden, drank medicine to recover his body, and continued blacksmithing, Ethan was still incredibly shocked.
He had witnessed the birth of a special profession.
