Jiao Fan even started to wonder if Lin Wu was even a beast or not. To him, he was proving to be a completely different existence. Jiao Fan was then suddenly reminded of a certain thing that he had read a long time ago.
The thing that he had read about were mechanical puppets. These were different from the hypnosis controlled cultivators in that they were not living beings. Rather, they were made from different materials and resources like metals, crystals, precious treasurer, etc.
They could then be used for various things such as war, alchemy, testing out formation arrays, guarding areas, automating formation arrays and many more. Though there was one special use of them that was rather rare, but also very valuable.
A mechanical puppet such as that could be used as a second body for cultivators. The ones that had died or lost their original bodies could inhabit in these mechanical puppets and live on.
