Chapter 688: Chess Player's Vision

Ning Zhuo took the initiative to hand over the visiting card. After waiting for a day and seeing no response, he knew what was going on.

He was not surprised at all because before taking this action, the big-headed boy had already considered this possibility.

"It seems that Yu Heye doesn't take me seriously."

This reaction is reasonable.

In Yu Heye's eyes, Ning Zhuo was just a new foundation-building person who was attracted by the Feiyun Conference.

Where did this little jerk come from?

He doesn’t even know Ning Zhuo!

Liu Fu hadn't even properly investigated Ning Zhuo. Who would pay for this investigation? How much was a reasonable amount to spend on a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Although Ning Zhuo has demonstrated some skills, is it worth it?

So far, it is not worthy of Yu Heye's attention.

"Furthermore, the further you practice the 'Five Elements Reverse Magic Art', the stronger your combat power becomes, but the more difficult it is to control yourself, and the chances of becoming possessed greatly increase."

"Only a person of extraordinary realm can control this chaotic state."

"Yu Heye has reached the limit of his cultivation. According to intelligence, he has long been unable to take care of himself. Most of his daily practice time should be used to control his Dantian, adjust his state, and avoid going astray."

"Under such circumstances, his attention will naturally not be on me."

Yu Heye's side does not take Ning Zhuo seriously and does not investigate him, but Ning Zhuo will not make such a mistake.

He even bought a part of the "Reverse Five Elements Magic Art" and came back to study it.

The main mountain gate of the Wanxiang Sect naturally does not have a station for the Quanshu Building, but there is a hall among the sixteen halls called the Chuan Gong Hall, which has similar functions to the Quanshu Building.

The greatest advantage of the "Five Elements Reverse Magic Art" is its combat power. Anyone who practices this art will see rapid and intense progress in their early stages, often surpassing their peers in combat power.

There are two disadvantages.

First, the possibility of going astray by practicing the "Reverse Five Elements Magic Art" is very high, far exceeding that of other martial arts of the same level.

Secondly, the upper limit of the "Reverse Five Elements Magic Art" is relatively low, and it can only be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. This is a technique that can only reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Ning Zhuo's Five Elements realm was very high. He understood this "Reverse Five Elements Magic Skill" after only reading it once.

This kind of magic skill mainly cultivates the Qi sea in the middle dantian and the Jing sea in the lower dantian. The main purpose is to use essence and blood to replace spiritual energy, and to use the internal organs to replace the five elements of the outside world.

Under normal circumstances, even Ning Zhuo cultivated his own mana through the Five Elements Cultivation Technique, transforming external spiritual energy into his own. The type of magic he cultivated was determined by the technique he practiced. Wood Cultivation Techniques yielded Wood Element Mana. Ning Zhuo's Five Elements Qi Laws yielded Five Element Mana.

The "Reverse Five Elements Magic Art" is based on the five internal organs. The five elements of the five internal organs are classified into different categories. The cultivator extracts spiritual energy from them and outputs it through blood and essence, which is closer to the source of the mana used by the cultivator.

These essence and blood can be quickly transformed into the five elements of magic power. Similarly, the five elements of magic power can also be transformed into essence and blood and filled into the body.

With such a mechanism of practice, it is equivalent to the Jinghai being another Qihai, and the Qihai can also be regarded as a special Jinghai.

The combination of the two Dantians naturally gave practitioners of the "Five Elements Magic Art" exceptional strength. These essences and blood, flowing from the five internal organs, could be quickly transformed into the magical powers of the elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and could be manipulated with ease.

The magic power of gold, wood, water, fire and earth can also be replenished and transformed into essence and blood to strengthen the physical body and improve close combat power.

Therefore, practitioners of the "Anti-Five Elements Magic Art" are usually capable of both long-range and close combat.

However, due to the principles of this technique, practitioners can easily go astray.

The reason is obvious - the single-line magic power converted into essence and blood is not produced by itself after all. If you want to assimilate it, you need to cultivate it for a long time.

The conversion of blood essence into mana would cause a significant drop in the physical body's foundation. The physical body is the foundation, and if the blood essence is drained too much, it is like being seriously injured, bringing negative effects in all aspects and forming a chain reaction of deterioration.

Moreover, there are complex relationships between the five elements of magic power. These magic powers are stored in the Qi Hai Dantian and are all threatening. They need to be harmonized and arranged by exercises to prevent internal friction.

For example, Ning Zhuo's Five Elements Qi Law Technique forms a five-element tornado vortex in the Qi Hai Dantian, transforming and coexisting in this form.

The five elements of magic power in the "Reverse Five Elements Magic Art" are not only stored in the Qi Sea Dantian, but also mixed in the body! After all, the transformation of blood essence and five elements of magic power cannot be completed instantly. Even if the time is short, it still takes time.

The mixed five elements of magic power and blood essence are all in the body. This is a big deal!

If not handled properly, it's like a barrel of explosives, ready to explode if not carefully considered. Even if it doesn't explode, the small frictions and slight attrition between them, accumulated over time, are a continuous torture to the body.

Therefore, cultivators who have successfully practiced the "Anti-Five Elements Magic Art" often have internal injuries.

After Ning Zhuo paid a price and mastered the entire "Reverse Five Elements Magic Art", he became more confident in dealing with Yu Heye.

It also allowed him to add a long section on the experience of utilizing the five elements.

"Although I have reached a high level in the Five Elements realm, I have very little experience in practical application. After all, I have been practicing for too short a time."

"Perhaps, I should collect a large number of Five Elements techniques to fill my own experience library."

"As I accumulate more of these, I will be able to create my own Five Elements techniques."

Ning Zhuo was touched by this and came up with this idea.

His Five Elements realm was too high, allowing him to create spells on the spot. Creating a technique was much more difficult than creating one's own. However, as long as he had rich theoretical and practical experience, he could fill the biggest gap and create his own technique.

"Write it down first and do it later when you have time!"

At the moment, Ning Zhuo’s main focus is to deal with Yu Heye.

This is still a bit troublesome.

Ning Zhuo was fully confident of defeating Yu Heye, a late Jindan cultivator. Ning Zhuo had now mastered the "Five Elements Reverse Magic Art," making it easy for him to defeat Yu Heye's primary combat method.

I won’t mention these.

Once Ning Zhuo uses his supernatural powers to put someone's life in danger, it will be easy for him to control Yu Heye directly, make him count on the spot, and kneel on the ground and call him daddy.

Because Yu Heye is not a Nascent Soul cultivator.

As long as it is a golden elixir, it is basically difficult to escape the control of supernatural powers. (Of course, this is not an exception. For example, Zhu Xuanji, Linghu Jiu, etc.)

But Ning Zhuo didn't want to do that at all.

As long as he challenges Yu Heye and the two of them fight, Ning Zhuo will definitely be noticed and taken seriously, which will trigger a lot of public opinion, continuous investigations, and recruitment by various forces.

In this way, Ning Zhuo's every move will be observed and analyzed by a large number of cultivators.

In this situation, how could he plan to sneak into Shuyuzhai secretly?

It’s okay to be high-profile and famous, but not now.

Ning Zhuo himself also needs to become famous, but he is waiting for the opportunity.

The Xingyun test before the Feiyun Conference was gradually formed by the Wanxiang Sect, an important link that allowed the monks to compete to show their skills.

Ning Zhuo also planned to make a big splash in this area, but not now.

The time is not yet ripe.

"Within the Wanxiang Sect, the eight main peaks are undergoing a cycle of old and new developments. Purple Thunder Peak is weakening, and Flowing Cloud Peak has become a target to be pushed out."

"If I rashly step forward and show myself, I will be attacked by the two major camps and various forces."

The "attack" here includes many things, such as inducement, coercion, suppression, etc.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Once Ning Zhuo demonstrates his value, a vortex will inevitably form around him.

By then, Ning Zhuo wouldn't be able to get involved just because he didn't want to. He would be forced to get involved, simply because his presence made it impossible for anyone to ignore him.

He is also a human being, and a strong one at that! Strong men in this world will naturally stir up trouble.

Ning Zhuo didn't want to get involved, he was just waiting for the right time.

What is the ripe time?

Now, it’s far from that!

First of all, Ning Zhuo needs more detailed information.

So, he has been waiting for Wen Runyu to finish her work report these days.

In Ning Zhuo's opinion, Wen Ruanyu's strength is not just his Jindan stage cultivation, or the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting that he has mastered as a Confucian cultivator. Wen Ruanyu's most outstanding ability is his political talent!

He has been in Baizhi Immortal City for so many years, and he has been in charge of the internal affairs of Baizhi Immortal City as the representative of Wanxiang Sect. He is the deputy of the Lord of Baizhi City.

He had governed White Paper Fairy City for a long time and had accumulated a wealth of experience. In the process of governing, he had also coordinated various forces, witnessed the two sides of human nature, and experienced the constancy and fickleness of human hearts.

Wen Runyu was just not familiar with the current situation of the Wanxiang Sect. Even though he had been away for a long time, he still had his connections within the sect.

As long as he is given a little time, he will be able to quickly grasp the current situation of the Wanxiang Sect.

Wen Ruanyu absolutely supports Ning Zhuo.

This will be a very important source of intelligence and reference for Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo had collected enough intelligence and analyzed the situation thoroughly, but the time was not ripe.

He still needs to wait for a suitable entry point.

In the case of the Wanyao Sect, the entry point was Lin Shanshan. In the Liangzhu Kingdom, the entry point was first Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, then Mulan. When it came to Baizhi Xiancheng, things were a little different. The entry point had already been arranged for him; he was the savior everyone had been waiting for!

What is the entry point of the Wanxiang Sect?

The Feiyun Conference is just a huge opportunity for everyone, not a starting point.

Wen Runyu, Yang Sanyan, and the close friends mentioned in the jade slip message of Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin are closer to the concept of entry point.

Wen Ruanyu represents the masses outside the mountain. Meng Yaoyin's identity is also the same, she is a person outside the main peak.

Yang Sanyan represents Zhuxie Hall, one of the sixteen halls, a place where practical work is done.

Meng Yaoyin's best friend is a cultivator on the main peak, so Ning Zhuo may be able to join the main peak through this channel.

Ning Zhuo was willing to get close to Shen Xi because this group of people might also be a point of entry.

In the future, new entry points may also emerge.

As for which one Ning Zhuo will choose in the end, he doesn't know yet. It depends on the situation.

"The new and old forces of the Wanxiang Sect are bound to engage in a fierce game! And this Feiyun Conference is the best stage for this competition."

Ning Zhuo had already figured this out from Zi Lei Peak and Liu Yun Peak by analyzing the intelligence on his own.

But his understanding of the Wanxiang Sect is far from in-depth.

He still needs to wait and observe. Once the situation becomes clear and he sees which side has the greater chance of winning, he will basically join that side.

"I'm an outsider. My family is far away in the country of Nandou."

"Join the winning side, and I will be the winner!"

Who would want to lose?

In the Wanxiang Sect, the camp of Ning Zhuo, an outsider, depends solely on his own choice and is very flexible.

Ning Zhuo's cultivation is weak, but that doesn't mean his ability is weak.

The more than ten years of forbearance in Huoshixian City honed his political talent.

It was this talent that enabled him to make many correct choices, and thus he thrived in Wanyaomen, Liangzhu Kingdom, and Baizhixian City.

He can often take advantage of the situation, drive out wolves and tigers, and defeat the strong with the weak.

"It's not time for me to make a choice yet. The most important thing right now is to get my mother's belongings."

Ning Zhuo's purpose has always been clear.

Therefore, his real problem now is actually - how should he deal with Yu Heye without attracting too much attention or making a big splash.

And Shen Xi's intervention undoubtedly made the problem more complicated.

How should Ning Zhuo show his style in front of Shen Xi, and to what extent should he show it? This is a real test of Ning Zhuo's political skills!

Su Lingkou gathered intelligence and came to Chen Xi worriedly, "Cousin, the situation has changed! Yu Heye has taken action. Many of his Foundation Establishment subordinates are challenging the newly arrived cultivators."

"The Martial Arts Hall quickly accepted these challenges. Apparently, they had used their connections and made advance notifications."

"The group of people Ning Zhuo found are totally useless!"

"Many people were scared away. There was no such thing as ten mid-grade spirit stones."

"Cousin, Ning Zhuo's plan failed, and our money is in Ning Zhuo's hands."

Chen Xi shook his head and said with a smile: "This competition has just begun."

"Do you think that this 'good money-making opportunity' that Ning Zhuo has spotted hasn't been seen by anyone before? Hasn't anyone done it before?"

"Cousin, you must know that the shape of the mountain is a convention, a natural evolution. Things that evolve like this often emerge naturally and mature."

"Just like this time, when Yu Heye sent his Foundation Establishment subordinates to perform a martial arts challenge, it was a mature response. Many precedents in the past were defeated in this way."

Su Lingkou's eyes lit up: "Cousin, you are really worthy of being like this. You have already expected this!"

Chen Xi shook his head again: "I can predict this. Ning Zhuo certainly thought of it a long time ago, but he still did it. So, what I'm really curious about is how he will respond."

Su Lingkou's expression changed, revealing a smile. "I think Ning Zhuo will personally go down and fight these Foundation Establishment cultivators. His combat power is already quite outstanding, otherwise he wouldn't have the courage to provoke Yu Heye's group like this."

Chen Xi said noncommittally, "Let's wait and see."

Take action personally?

That's impossible.

Under Su Lingkou's silent attention, Ning Zhuo did not take any action, not even a sign.
