Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 565: Xiao Ai Smart Massage Chair
Chapter 565: Xiao Ai Smart Massage Chair
"It turns out you're the sect master of Xuanhe Gate. My apologies for not recognizing you earlier."
Chen Huaian pretended not to recognize Master Yuyao, yet didn't offer a friendly expression either, maintaining an air of subtle arrogance.
"Since this Dao Inquiry Assembly is now being hosted by our Moon Shadow Sect, your Xuanhe Gate must follow our rules if you wish to participate. If you don't want to abide by our regulations, you're welcome to leave immediately. Xuanhe Gate is perfectly capable of organizing its own Dao Inquiry Assembly."
"You..."
Master Yuyao's expression darkened, completely silenced by Chen Huaian's brief remarks.
She desperately wanted to lash out but couldn't risk exposing her true identity.
"Exactly! This is Sword Master Chen's Dao Inquiry Assembly. Whether you're a tiger or a dragon here, you'll curl up and behave! Your cultivation isn't impressive, yet you have plenty of nonsense to say."
A sarcastic voice chimed in.
Master Yuyao turned to see a young-looking Void Refinement old monster from the Qingyun Sect direction coldly glancing at her. She actually recognized this ancient cultivator.Old Ancestor Qingyun, who used to follow Jade Pool Holy Land's every command.
How had she become like this now?
Master Yuyao stared at Old Ancestor Qingyun's delicate skin and light makeup, finding it utterly absurd. After not seeing her for so long, that cold-faced old woman with wrinkled skin had started maintaining her appearance and wearing makeup?
She must have gone mad!
Compared to whatever this new product launch was about.
Master Yuyao found Old Ancestor Qingyun far more bizarre.
Currently posing as Taoist Nun Qingci with cultivation similar to Old Ancestor Qingyun's, she couldn't make a scene and could only sit quietly waiting for the right opportunity.
Hadn't Chen Huaian said it himself?
There would still be assessments and sparring for new disciples.
That meant she still had chances.
For now, she would see what this ridiculous new product launch was all about.
Seeing Master Yuyao fall silent, Chen Huaian sneered inwardly.
He was busy hosting the Dao Inquiry Assembly now and didn't have time to confront Master Yuyao. After completing his tasks, he would properly deal with this "Taoist Nun Qingci."
"Everyone, I know you've brought many gifts to Moon Shadow Sect, mostly resources unique to your respective sects. For example, um... the Zen Sect's Buddha's Hand."
Chen Huaian paused awkwardly.
He quickly averted his gaze from the three-thousand-year Buddha's Hand on Fa Dahai's table.
Last night, thinking about all the cultivators coming, he figured he should prepare some decent tea.
He couldn't serve those Earth Star beverages as tea—that would ruin the mystique.
So he spent a mere 100 top-grade spirit jades in the store to buy a five-thousand-year Buddha's Hand.
This five-thousand-year Buddha's Hand had Fa Dahai's inscription on it.
With just a quick Heaven's Calculation, he knew the system had "borrowed" it from the Zen Sect.
Now the Zen Sect only had a three-thousand-year Buddha's Hand on their table. Despite Fa Dahai's silence, Chen Huaian could feel the faint sorrow radiating from him.
"And the Bliss Sect's Ninefold Spring! The Blade Sect's forging platform, the Spirit Beast Sect's capture spheres..."
Chen Huaian randomly listed a few examples.
"Sects that didn't bring specialty products don't need to worry. It's fine if you didn't bring anything—this gives you the perfect opportunity to carefully examine Moon Shadow Sect's specialties!"
Everyone exchanged puzzled glances.
They thought those chairs and technicians were already Moon Shadow Sect's specialties.
Who knew there were more?
Chen Huaian waved over Xu An from among the disciples behind him and instructed: "I don't expect these old monsters to know how to use massage chairs. Take some disciples and help them turn on the massage chairs. Be smart about it!"
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Xu An immediately went to handle the task.
Thus, during the preparation time for specialty products.
All sect elders and sect masters except Master Yuyao got to use massage chairs, and even some powerful rogue cultivators received the treatment of using massage chairs.
Fa Dahai was already enjoying himself while feeling astonished.
"This humble monk thought this chair was merely comfortable to sit on, never expecting it held hidden wonders... Did you trap some mechanism beast or demon spirit inside? It can actually mimic human hand massages?!"
Blade Sect Master Fu Hongyu remained relatively calm.
Only the Spirit Beast Sect Master kept examining the chair from all angles, occasionally reaching out to touch the moving molds on the chairback.
[Please sit properly on the chair to avoid any danger!]
A soft female prompt sounded.
It startled Tang San so much he jumped up.
He circled the massage chair twice with suspicious uncertainty, completely unable to figure out who was speaking, and could only look pleadingly at Chen Huaian: "S-Sword Master Chen, this isn't just a chair, is it? This is actually some kind of chair that became a demonic creature?"
He initially suspected this thing was some kind of mechanical construct.
But it contained no array energy, and array energy is difficult to conceal.
Yet mechanical constructs shouldn't be able to speak either!
A demonic creature! It must be a demonic creature hiding its energy!
However, as the Spirit Beast Sect Master who had traveled throughout Cangyun Realm, he had never seen such a demonic creature—truly strange and bizarre!
"Well, you can understand it as a combination of mechanical construct and demon beast."
Chen Huaian couldn't explain concepts like circuits or "Xiao Ai Intelligence" to Tang San.
Even if he explained, Tang San wouldn't understand, so he used terms everyone could accept.
"By combining mechanical constructs with demonic creatures, we use the stable nature of mechanical constructs to control the violent nature of demonic creatures, thereby creating 'service-type' artifacts with communication capabilities. Just one connection to a thunder essence stone can make the thunder-attribute demonic creature inside work for an entire year. I call this artifact—Xiao Ai Smart Massage Chair!"
"Impressive! Truly impressive!" Tang San gave a thumbs up.
He wasn't from the Artifact Sect, so he didn't understand most of it.
But that didn't stop him from thinking Chen Huaian was amazing.
After all these years of development in Cangyun Realm, nobody had thought to integrate demonic creatures with mechanical arts.
But Sword Master Chen not only conceived the idea—he implemented it and brought a product to market. If he wasn't amazing, then who was?
However, among the crowd behind Chen Huaian, former Artifact Sect Master Xiang Tiange was covering his mouth, struggling to contain his amusement.
This chair was purely a mechanical construct with no relation to demonic creatures whatsoever.
The Ancestor was quite the smooth talker.
Still, the Ancestor's concept of integrating demonic creatures with mechanical arts was brilliant—he would research it further when he had time.
"Senior Chen, this junior would like to order a batch of these, um... Xiao Ai Smart Massage Chairs to help disciples relieve post-cultivation fatigue. May I ask about the pricing?" Blade Sect Master Fu Hongyu stood up and bowed respectfully with clasped hands.
While massage chairs couldn't compare to being personally served by Jade Pool demon women.
They also avoided the risk of sect disciples becoming distracted.
Moreover, to be perfectly honest, his disciples weren't even qualified to enjoy the technicians' services anyway.
They simply couldn't afford it.
During this Dao Inquiry Assembly, he had been carefully observing Moon Shadow Sect.
Seeing what capabilities Moon Shadow Sect truly possessed—even with their power and someone like Chen Huaian at the Great Ascension Stage, if they were all show without substance.
He wouldn't acknowledge Moon Shadow Sect as Cangyun Realm's leading sect.
But now he was genuinely somewhat convinced.
