Cultivation Pet Shop

In the end, Lin Fan left these samples alone.

He knew that it was better to leave these alone than to meddle with them and cause an accident.

After all, he didn't have any idea how any of this worked, so there was no reason to randomly touch things.

One last thing that caught his attention was that there was a tube that was completely covered in some kind of black substance. It was as if this black substance was covering this tube, preventing it from showing anything.

It was almost as if there was something that was being suppressed inside of this tube.

It wasn't just the fact that the tube was black tinted that his attention was attracted, but because he felt something familiar coming from this tube.

It was as if it was attracting him towards it.

It didn't take Lin Fan long to recognize what this feeling was.

He raised his hand and gathered some life energy in it, creating a little black hole.

The black hole looked normal at first, but then there was a kind of attraction towards the black tinted tube.

This black hole was something that he created with his void laws, so it was supposed to absorb. However, it was being attracted by whatever was inside of the tinted tube…

This meant that there was something that was inside of the tube that could absorb things just like his void laws. That meant that it was most likely void laws that were stronger than his own that were stored inside.

But where had they gotten this void law from?

As far as he knew, the Lin Astral Family were the only ones that had the void laws.

Did that mean that they stole it from the Lin Astral Family?

If that was the case, where did they steal it from?

This was a major issue for the Lin Astral Family, if they really did steal from the Lin Astral Family. It would mean that there was an issue with the Lin Astral Family's security.

It seemed like Lin Fan had to have a talk about this with the Lin Astral Emperor once he got back.

For now, he would just leave everything here.

After taking care of that, Lin Fan went out into the corridor again.

There weren't many rooms left in this ship for him to explore, there were only three doors left that hadn't been opened yet.

The first one that they opened revealed a room that seemed to be a kitchen and food storage area.

They looked around the place and found some things that seemed to be utensils and plates, but they were in strange shapes that they had never seen before.

There were also things that seemed to be stored food, but some of it had been destroyed and the "food" inside seemed to be rotten. Perhaps that was just the kind of food that they ate and it wasn't rotten, but from their perspective, it seemed rotten.

At least there were a few containers that seemed like they still had things in them, so they could take them back and research them.

While it seemed pointless to research what kind of things these Outers ate, any information about them would be helpful. It was unknown what would come in handy one day…

Such as the need to poison the Outers…

The next room that they went into seemed to be some kind of resting room.

It wasn't like a normal bedroom, but rather it was a room that had a single giant vat inside of it filled with water that seemed like it could hold a human.

They would have thought that it was another experimentation room, but they could see that there were personal objects in this place as well…or at least what seemed like personal objects.

They all had strange shapes, so it was hard to recognize what they were.

But at the very least, the way that they were placed around the room made it seem like they were personal objects.

So that was why they thought that it was a resting room.

That and what seemed to be a clock on the wall.

That clock was ticking at the same rate as the one in their watches, so they could tell that it was a clock. However, it had all kinds of strange symbols that they couldn't understand, so they didn't know what time system they used.

It had fourteen segments instead of the twelve that they were used to.

Still, there was nothing of interest in this room.

No, the vat that seemed to be the resting vat was interesting.

Momonga came up to it and took a sniff of the liquid inside, which made Lin Fan scrunch his face as he thought of something strange. But it didn't turn out the way that he thought it would.

Instead, Momonga listed off a bunch of herbs that he thought could possibly be in this liquid.

Lin Fan however looked at the liquid with a strange look.

Chemistry was another thing that wasn't as developed since alchemy had taken its place.

Lin Fan knew with his basic understanding of chemistry that this was most likely some kind of nutrition chemical that would nourish the people who slept inside of this vat. He didn't know what kind of formula it used, but it would be useful to analyze it…

It was just too bad that there were no chemists in the Lin Astral Empire and it would be too hard to teach them with just his basic understanding of chemistry.

He hoped that the alchemists would be able to find something.

Finally, it was the last room left for them to explore.

This room was also different from the rest of the rooms as there was only one thing that was inside of this room.

It was a pod, a cryosleep pod.

It wasn't just a single pod, but rows of pods placed all along the room.

The guards naturally didn't know what these things were, so they were immediately put on guard and surrounded Lin Fan again. But Lin Fan quickly had them scatter since there wasn't any movement from the pods.

When he went over, he found that there was a layer of mist on the window looking into the pod, so he wiped his hand across it to clear the mist. When he saw what was inside, he couldn't help being surprised.

It was a face that was looking back at him, but this face wasn't the face of a person.

It was a completely gray skinned face that seemed more like a machine than human.

This was a face that had only gray skin that didn't have any hair at all, which made it clear that it was some kind of machine.

The face itself was designed in the same way as a human, so that was something that Lin Fan recognized, but it was clear that these things were not human.

The eyes of this face were closed along with the mouth, making it seem like they were sleeping.

The guards all gathered around the one pod that Lin Fan was looking into and they all stared down at the lifeless gray skinned face in front of them.

One of them couldn't help asking, "Is this a corpse puppet?"

Corpse puppets, that was one of the obscure cultivation methods of this world.

Instead of using pets, it involved refining corpses into puppets that one would use to fight with.

But it was phased out since it was one of those dark arts that involved corpses.

There were too many cases of violence and corpse stealing for this cultivation technique to become popular. So while there might be people that still practice this cultivation technique to this day, it was a dying breed.

But the corpse puppets that they cultivated looked exactly like the thing inside of this pod, so it was understandable why the guard thought of a corpse puppet the moment that they saw this.

Lin Fan knew different though.

He was someone who had come from earth, with all of its sci fi fantasy, so he knew what this thing was as soon as he saw it.

It was an android.

This wasn't a corpse that had been refined into a weapon, but rather a machine that had been created to imitate humans. Of course, as a machine, it had been refined to the point where it was much stronger than a normal human, but it was still something that mimicked humans.

If there was an android inside one of these pods, then…

Lin Fan turned to look at the rows of pods that were in this room and he couldn't help looking through the window of another one of these pods.

As expected, there was also an android in this pod.

Then that should mean that there were androids in all of these pods.

There were more pods than there were guards, so they would definitely be outnumbered if the androids were suddenly activated…

In the end, Lin Fan decided against activating the androids to see if he could get more information and decided to just take the entire ship back with him.

But before that, he waited for a bit for the ship to turn off.

As expected, he had only given the ship just enough power to turn on, so it powered off not long after.

This inactive ship didn't have anything lifting it up, but they had more than enough manpower to lift it.

The guards had to lift it at first, but then they were able to get some soldiers from the army to follow them back, lifting it for them.
