The puppet person stood motionless, letting Su Xiaoxiao "wipe oil" on it without any response, like a statue.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao slowly began to release her hold and looked around the puppet person. If conditions had allowed, she might have even wanted to see what was inside its armor.
"Right, if this big guy isn't a millennium ancient corpse, then the corpse oil..."
Even though Su Xiaoxiao's attention had always been captivated by the puppet person, it was unlikely she had forgotten her real target—the millennium ancient corpse's corpse oil.
Originally believing it to be a millennium ancient corpse, she thought the liquid seeping out must be "corpse oil," but now that the theory no longer stood, the corpse oil must not exist either...
However, according to the information she had, such "corpse oil" could strengthen a person's body by more than ten times, an absolutely terrifying substance.
"If I'm not mistaken, that so-called corpse oil should be this stuff..."
Qin Fang was actually considering this issue as well... When the puppet person maintained its "millennium ancient corpse" appearance, its surface had some bits of verdigris and looked somewhat moist, but now with the verdigris gone, there was nothing on its surface, and the only thing that seemed like "corpse oil" was the fluid seeping from the joints of the puppet person...
"This... seems like lubricating oil, right?"
Su Xiaoxiao naturally also noticed the presence of this fluid. The changes in the puppet person were due to the emergence of this fluid, which made it appear more human-like. The previous mechanical sounds were gone, so this fluid supposedly should be something like lubricating oil.
Lubricating oil is a product of modern technology; more than two thousand years ago, there was no such thing... so this fluid must be something with an effect similar to lubricating oil, but as for what it is exactly, that remains unknown.
"This stuff can enhance human bodies by ten times?"
Looking at the colorless, slightly viscous liquid, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of doubt, and she was clearly hesitant to believe it.
But she had looked up and down, left and right just now, and it seemed that no other fluid had seeped out except for this one...
The fluid is clearly lubricating oil, and just thinking about tasting it felt odd—she really didn't have the courage to try drinking it...
"I really don't know about this, you've seen the relevant information, you should know better than I do!"
Qin Fang also had a wry smile, as from the beginning to the end, he didn't have much information about this matter. The reason he snatched this millennium ancient corpse was because of the "corpse oil."
However, he didn't expect the millennium ancient corpse to actually be a two-thousand-year-old puppet person, which ended up being a huge bargain for Qin Fang; but as for the corpse oil... it was hard to say.
However, as he spoke nonchalantly, Qin Fang also cast a Scouting Skill on the mysterious fluid, hoping the Scouting Skill would provide a bit of related information.
"Golden Dragon Birth, a superb spiritual medicine, born from the Dragon Veins' nurtured essence of heaven and earth, rumored to be the water of dragon birth..."
However, the result of the Scouting Skill made Qin Fang slightly frown; it was far too simple, much less than he had anticipated.
Since his Scouting Skill had upgraded to advanced, it was rare to encounter such situations, except when he scouted Su Xiaoxiao due to her carrying an item that could conceal information. However, this mysterious liquid—Golden Dragon Birth—was quite a simple medicine, yet it gave very little information, which was quite alarming.
The more this was the case, the more Qin Fang suddenly realized what this situation implied—it could only mean one thing: the grade of this Golden Dragon Birth was too high, and his advanced Scouting Skill was not sufficient...
Qin Fang never thought there was such a possibility, but now he discovered that such things still existed.
Golden Dragon Birth, the name itself indicated how rare this substance was... The dragon, which is the totem believed in by the people of Dragon Country, and every person in Dragon Country considers themselves a descendant of dragons, with the Golden Dragon undoubtedly being the most noble among them, like the emperor's robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon.
That this mysterious liquid was named Golden Dragon Birth indicated how rare it was...
Qin Fang, who possessed Pharmacopeia skills with Herb Identification Technique and Herb Gathering Technique as two non-upgradable auxiliary skills, could identify this substance, which appeared similar to lubricating oil, as a superb spiritual medicine...
There are many types of medicinal herbs, most of which are common, with some being rare, and only a few ranking as truly rare spiritual medicines... However, nowadays Earth is heavily polluted, and spiritual medicines have become extremely rare, probably extinct worldwide. Qin Fang had never seen a spiritual medicine during his long stays in the mountains...
And this Golden Dragon Birth, being a Superb Spiritual Medicine, seems to be an extremely rare treasure even among spiritual medicines, it is exceedingly scarce and rare...
The material used for the Bronze Puppet Person is the rarely seen Beihai Fine Copper, and its creator was Carpenter, the Ancestor of Mechanical Techniques, Gongshu Ban. The current lubricating liquid (at least Qin Fang could not perceive any other use for it) is also Superb Spiritual Medicine Golden Dragon Birth...
Qin Fang suddenly became very sure of one thing—this puppet person might truly be unique in the entire world.
The more he believed this, the more fortunate Qin Fang felt... He was fortunate to have obtained it!
Of course, other people might not be able to tame it, a being that had absorbed an amount of blood equivalent to a thousand people before finally submitting to Qin Fang.
If others tried, they would practically be drained of all their blood within a few seconds and turned into a mummified corpse.
"I can almost be certain that that so-called Corpse Oil is this mysterious liquid..."
Although the Scouting Skill provided little information, Qin Fang was already able to make such a judgment with the limited information.
This Golden Dragon Birth is a Superb Spiritual Medicine; martial arts novels often write about some young individual consuming Genius Earth Treasures, experiencing a surge in internal strength and ascending to the heavens to become a top martial artist. Although these plots are fictional, Qin Fang was very aware that it wasn't entirely impossible.
Nowadays, although spiritual medicines are lacking, certain aged medicinal herbs—such as the Hundred-Year-Old Mountain Ginseng that Master Cai gave to Old Master Wu—still possess excellent benefits in stabilizing and nurturing one's foundation, making them quite beneficial for martial artists as well.
And this Hundred-Year-Old Mountain Ginseng, strictly speaking, is still considered common medicinal material, far from being a spiritual medicine, unless it could transform into human form; only then would it possess a hint of spirituality and barely make it into the category of spiritual medicines.
If common medicinal materials are like this, then real spiritual medicine must be extremely powerful... enhancing a person's body tenfold is not impossible.
Especially this Golden Dragon Birth, which seems like a prime example among spiritual medicines, Qin Fang did not find its capabilities surprising at all...
Of course, Qin Fang still had some doubts. If a person's body were suddenly enhanced tenfold, it wouldn't be something ordinary people could withstand. Just the bursting and restructuring of meridians alone could kill a person several times over, not to mention the unbearable pain of bone enhancement.
"Are you really sure?"
Su Xiaoxiao was clearly still skeptical. Qin Fang had previously claimed to be unfamiliar with the situation, yet suddenly he changed his stance, declaring the liquid to be the "Corpse Oil" mentioned by the Tomb Robber; it was all contradictory, and naturally, she wouldn't be fooled.
"I have some understanding of medicinal materials. This liquid is a rare medicinal material called Golden Dragon Birth, likely the only one of its kind in the entire world..."
Qin Fang refrained from saying too much, merely providing a brief introduction to Golden Dragon Birth.
"Medicinal material?"
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned; although she was an assassin, she wasn't involved in the Martial World, and knew little about medicinal materials, "How does it compare to ginseng, deer antlers, and the like?"
"There's no comparison... It's like the difference between a billionaire and a penniless beggar!"
Qin Fang was exasperated, wondering why she had to compare a Superb Spiritual Medicine with common medicinal materials, which significantly undervalued the Golden Dragon Birth.
If the Golden Dragon Birth could speak and move, it certainly would want to strangle Su Xiaoxiao to death, feeling utterly insulted by its value being diminished...
"Really? Could this be the legendary Genius Earth Treasure that can increase one's divine power for sixty years? Haha... I can finally become a female hero! I wonder if it's really possible to scale walls and vault over roofs..."
However, this simple comparison made Su Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkle brilliantly, looking at the Puppet person as if it were a huge gold ingot.
As a young woman who had been influenced by martial arts novels since childhood, Su Xiaoxiao immediately felt as if she had transformed into an invulnerable, chivalrous female hero...
Su Xiaoxiao was incredibly excited, and she shakily extended her hand, ready to taste a bit of Golden Dragon Birth...
"Don't get ahead of yourself..."
Qin Fang didn't know whether Su Xiaoxiao had been forced into the role of an assassin or if she had chosen it voluntarily. However, this woman's nerves seemed rather bold; without fully understanding the situation, she was already prepared to try it.
"Genius Earth Treasures are definitely powerful, but this substance might be quite overbearing, and it likely has some adverse side effects..."
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was actually going to try it, Qin Fang quickly grabbed her arm. It wasn't that he was unwilling to share the Golden Dragon Birth with Su Xiaoxiao; rather, he faintly felt that since it was a Superb Spiritual Medicine, it definitely wouldn't be that simple...
