"If it's not a woman, then it's a man," said Gu Xianniang, the master of Huitian Pavilion, with a chuckle.

“It’s either black or white, either female or male.” Penny seemed thoughtful. She felt there was something more to Gu Xianniang’s words.

"As long as it's a man, my sisters and I will greet and see off everyone without ever being inferior to anyone else." Wendy, in the prime of her youth, was just as spirited.

“Very well then.” Gu Xianniang, the master of Huitian Pavilion, nodded with delight: “Go and get ready, we’ll be waiting for our distinguished guests to arrive.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Penny and Wendy said in unison.

The news of new visitors arriving at Moqiao spread throughout Shizipo in no time.

In the second-floor pavilion of Jiayuan Temple, Princess Li Huixin of the Later Tang Dynasty, the strategist of the Demon Hunting Sect, was meticulously recording the information of the four people crossing the bridge.

"Sister Xin." Yi Xin, the goddess of the Demon Hunting Sect, ascended the pavilion to greet her.

"The two people in the side hall are snake spirits who have attained enlightenment." Princess Li Huixin of the Later Tang Dynasty pointed to the "Ruyi Pearl" on the table. It turned out that this pearl also had the power to expose demons.

"A black serpent that has cultivated for 3000 years and a green serpent that has cultivated for 1500 years." Goddess Yixin nodded gently: "It's a pity that they failed to condense their true forms, and their ascension to the ranks of immortals is still a long way off. Perhaps they were too deeply in love and never focused on their cultivation."

“If one abandons the inner elixir, one may be able to become human.” Princess Li Huixin of Chang’an in the Later Tang Dynasty spoke of the secret of the “Painted Wall Demon”: “With just a light stroke of the brush, one can shed the demon’s original form. Just like Ah Xue.”

"I see." The goddess Yixin had not yet personally experienced the wonders of the "Painting World": "But I wonder, who wields the brush to create these paintings?"

“Naturally, it is the old monk who paints murals.” Princess Li Huixin of Chang’an of the Later Tang Dynasty smiled and pointed to the top of her head: “The so-called ‘all things are one, and the self and the object are forgotten.’ Therefore, ‘one can find solace in the mountains and rivers and forget worries in the world.’ As long as one’s mindset is in harmony with the old monk, one can borrow his worn-out brush to paint.”

"In other words, as long as the old monk understands his meaning, he can create a painting." The goddess Yixin immediately realized.

“That’s right.” Princess Li Huixin of Chang’an of the Later Tang Dynasty smiled radiantly.

Simply put, as long as a "form" is displayed in the mural world that the old monk can understand, the old monk will draw it on the mural with a flourish of his brush. For example, if the old monk thinks, "I want to become a bird," then the old monk can "draw a bird" with his worn-out brush. This internal and external interaction is the true essence of the existence of the "mural world" and the "mural demons."

Just like before, Penny and Wendy, top insurance brokers who suffered from the effects of snake serum and shed their skin, transformed back into slender beauties upon entering the mural, all thanks to the old monk's worn-out brush. Whatever the old monk depicted before the mural would be faithfully reproduced within the mural world.

This is the wonder of the mural world.

In short, all the rules of this colorful world are just a pen.

The key is to make the old monk understand the true meaning in the heart of the "painted man".

This was a crucial piece of information Wu Chen had revealed telepathically over a long distance. If Wu Chen hadn't observed so calmly and pointed it out, how could the characters in the story have possibly uncovered this secret?

A moment later, a motorized cloud chariot drove up Shizipo.

They were the two guardians of the Demon Hunting Sect who were out hunting: Princess Xiahou Ying of the Later Jin Dynasty and Sai Xiaojing, a female general of the Later Tang Dynasty.

Upon hearing the sound, Ximen Rou, the "Fairy of Bliss," opened the window and looked down from the railing: "What have you gained today?"

"Most of them are animal hides, not worth mentioning," Left Protector Sai Xiaojing replied with a smile, reining in her horse.

"Does it contain an inner core?" "The hides are worthless," Ximen Rou, the "Fairy of Bliss," pressed.

"One 500-year-old demon core." Right Protector Xiahou Ying jumped down from the cloud chariot: "It will be refined into a Five Elements Inner Core by the Dugu Nine Swords." "Fairy of Bliss" Ximen Rou smiled happily: "Excellent."

The mechanical prosthetic limbs worn by Ximen Sanniang in the house require Five Elements Inner Cores to operate. Naturally, the more demon cores the better. It should be noted that demon cores are inner cores cultivated by demons themselves. Five Elements Inner Cores, on the other hand, are inner cores refined in a "refining furnace." They have been purified, their demonic energy neutralized, revealing only the power of the five elements. Otherwise, using demon cores to power the mechanical prosthetic limbs would inevitably lead to their corruption by demonic energy over time, turning the user into a "painted wall demon."

Previously, when refining the Primordial Demon King, the nine swords together formed the "Dugu Sword Furnace". In other words, the Dugu Nine Swords, which Wu Chen embedded with the Primordial Golden Core, also possess the function of a "refining furnace". The fact that they killed the attacking wolf demon and condensed the Five Elements Inner Core on the night they entered the painting wall is enough to prove this.

Ordinary minor demons don't need nine swords to form a sword furnace; they can refine the five elements inner core simply by using the Primordial Golden Elixir embedded in the sword hilt. Its advantage lies in its convenience.

Knowing that the Demon Pill still needed to be refined, "Fairy of Bliss" Ximen Rou was extremely optimistic and led Ximen San Niang to Jiayuan Temple to see it for herself.

Since moving to Shizipo, Jiayuan Temple, Qianlongfang, Jileguan, and Huitiange have become closely connected, supporting and helping each other. Their relationship has grown increasingly close. Many of their sect's secrets have gradually been revealed to each other as a sign of trust.

For example, the reason why "Fairy of Bliss" Ximen Rou came here this time is firstly to explore the secrets of refining the Five Elements Inner Elixir; secondly, she brought her Second Sister Qiuyu, Third Sister Yudie, and Fourth Sister Qingwen to openly and honestly tell them the secrets of their sect's mechanical arts.

First and foremost, the 500-year-old demon core was peeled away like silk threads, turning into wisps of spiritual energy that were absorbed by the sword, eventually gathering into a vortex and solidifying into a "Five Elements Inner Core".

Having witnessed the divine power of the Dugu Nine Swords, Ximen Rou, the "Fairy of Bliss," immediately signaled Ximen San Niang to step forward and take off her clothes.

"This is..." Even Xiahou Ying, the eldest princess of the Later Jin Dynasty, who was well-versed in the world, was shocked by the jade body of Ximen San Niang, which was interwoven with flesh and mechanisms.

The "Fairy of Bliss" Ximen Roudao broke through the secrets of the Extreme Optimism Mechanism: "The prosthetic limbs on Third Sister's body were made by my Ximen family's 'Chastity Armor'."

It is said that the Ximen family was originally a martial arts family specializing in forging hidden weapons and armor. The Chastity Armor was meticulously designed by Ximen Rou's biological father over three years. Once this armor is worn, it can only be opened with a key. If any man tries to offend or provoke him, the mechanisms inside the 'Breast-Protecting Blade' and 'Dog-Head Guillotine' will automatically activate, severing the hand and (fifth) limb, leaving a bloody mess.

The "Fairy Maiden of Bliss," Ximen Rou, inherited her family's business and carried forward the "Armor of Chastity." Not only could it preserve her purity and defend the country's borders, but it could also reconnect her eight extraordinary meridians and activate her limbs, allowing her crippled body to move with incredible speed.

The only essential element is the Five Elements Inner Elixir.

It is said that Ximen San Niang died after being drained of her yin essence by the female demon Dao Huan Ji. After entering the painted wall, "Jile Xian Gu" Ximen Rou used her mechanical arts to revive her. Now she is also half-human and half-demon.

"'Planting the central core, encompassing all corners.' The inner elixir is the central core, and the mechanism serves as the physical body. It cycles endlessly, never ceasing. It is truly ingenious, a marvel of divine craftsmanship." Princess Li Huixin of Chang'an, the strategist of the Demon Hunting Sect, marveled at the extremely powerful mechanical device.

The "Fairy Maiden of Bliss," Ximen Rou, frankly admitted, "Alas, the inner elixir is hard to find."

"With our two families joining forces, what is there to fear about the painted wall not being broken?" Left Protector Sai Xiaojing declared, her words resounding like a thunderclap.

Ximen Rou, the "Fairy of Bliss," nodded happily: "Sister Jing is absolutely right."

"If it weren't for the 'Five Elements Inner Elixir,' what would happen if a demon core were embedded in it?" Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, made a startling statement.

The "Fairy of Bliss" Ximen Rou told the truth: "My primordial spirit was in turmoil, and my spiritual consciousness was backfired by the demon core. Over time, I became a demon puppet."

"If we can turn this harm into an advantage, the demon core might be of great use," Princess's strategist Li Huixin said meaningfully.

How could the "Fairy of Bliss" Ximen Rou not realize: "According to Sister Xin's wishes, embed the demon core and transform it into a mechanical demon (puppet demon)?"

"Indeed." Truly worthy of being called a strategist. Princess Li Huixin of the Later Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, was almost demonically intelligent, a female Zhuge Liang.
