Lin Wu gazed at the girl in front of him and thought about her request.
'Hmm… the system's scan shows that her body is really adapting well. The initial incompatibility has been mended.' Lin Wu checked.
"Alright. We can go ahead with the next implant." Lin Wu agreed after verifying all the facts.
"Great! Can you do my right arm this time?" Cang Ci asked.
"That's fine." Lin Wu readily agreed. "Come sit." He ordered.
"Yes!" Cang Ci quickly walked closer to Lin Wu and sat on the ground with her back to him.
She then slid down the right side of her dress, exposing half of her chest and shoulder.
"I'll start now. Get ready." Lin Wu stated before several smaller tentacles rose from the ground.
Cang Ci closed her eyes and waited for the work to start. The small tentacles first morphed into different forms. One of them took the shape of a sharp blade, looking like a scalpel.
One of them split into two at the tips and hardened, while the final tentacle took the longest to transform. It first shrank a bit and then condensed. Its texture and color changed, turning from black to white.
A minute later, it looked like the arm of a skeleton. Though if one looked closer, they would see fine runes carved on the surface of the bones. They were almost microscopic and could barely be made out with naked eyes.
Once this was ready, the first two tentacles moved. The scalpel like tentacle stabbed into Cang Ci's shoulder, making her wince in pain before cutting all the way to her wrist. Then the second tentacle with the two prongs dug into her skin, splitting it apart along with flesh.
This exposed the bones underneath, allowing Lin Wu free access. Once that was done, the third tentacle which had changed into a skeleton arm, moved to the exposed bones. The manufactured bones touched the natural ones and started to absorb them.
Cang Ci gritted her teeth, avoiding making any sound. While it was incredibly painful, she knew it was worth it. She had come a long way and she wouldn't waver from just this much pain.
After all, the pain she suffered in the past was a lot greater.
Cang Ci remembered being pursued by a group of enemies and being pushed to the brink of death. The feeling of helplessness and fear was still fresh in her mind. After all, it had happened just two years ago.
Back then, she was barely in the core condensation realm and even that was a great achievement for her. She could only hope to think she might reach the Nascent soul realm by the end of her lifespan.
But all that changed when she was targeted. Cang Ci was originally from a peasant family that owned some land. And when she was ten, her cultivation talent was discovered. In order to allow her to cultivate, her family sold off their land and took on loans.
Cang Ci didn't fail her family and managed to reach the Qi refining realm by the age of sixteen. She then joined a group of local cultivators and did many jobs, like hunting and finding materials.
In just a year after reaching the Qi refining realm, she had managed to pay off her family's debt and was free. But she didn't expect to have been cheated at the last moment and made a scapegoat when she tried to buy an alchemical pill.
The Alchemical Pill she had bought and consumed was in fact, stolen by the seller. The seller took off, but she ended up becoming the scapegoat of the entire ordeal. The owner of the pill was an influential alchemist and forced her to compensate.
Being without a strong background, Cang Ci knew that if the alchemist wanted to force her hand, he could very well threaten her family. Not wanting that to happen, she increased her work and took on more dangerous jobs.
That was also why she ended up in the Millennium forest when the Twin Lights Liger King was breaking through to the Dao Shell realm. She might have died in the ensuing Beast Tide but was saved by the Throw Pulse Cicada.
She felt indebted to the beast, which was surprising to her. She didn't see the beast after leaving the forest, but continued to pay her debt, which only kept on increasing due to the interest.
Eventually, it reached a point where the alchemist wanted her to sell herself to pay it off. He sent mercenaries after her and ended up getting chased all the way to the millennium forest.
Cang Ci ended up at a dead end cliff and was forced to fight. By the end of it, she was left on the brink of death, with a majority of her organs being injured and half of her blood gone.
But just when she was about to give up, a miracle happened.
The ground split apart and from it rose the Emeraldine Pulse cicada. It reminded Cang Ci of the last time she was saved and realized that the beast was the same too.
The cicada's appearance startled the mercenaries, and before they could try to escape, they were crushed by the beast's attack.
That was the last thing Cang Ci saw before she passed out. And when she woke up, she found herself in the Taiji Celestial's tomb. Her body had been healed, but she could tell that there was something different about it.
Lin Wu soon met and explained the situation. He had basically replaced her organs, but there was no saying what would happen.
Realizing her debt had increased even more, Cang Ci decided to serve Lin Wu.
She was given power and resources beyond her wildest dreams and became faithful to Lin Wu. In the past 2 years, her loyalty had reached a terrifying level.
After all, not only had Lin Wu saved her and given her power, but also allowed her to have revenge against the alchemist as well as the pill seller who had made her a scapegoat!
