Chapter 707 Thaw

Xue Shuyu Xie was sensible enough to take the initiative to say hello.

In comparison, Xue Cainu Hui did not move at all, staring blankly at Ning Zhuo.

To be on the safe side, Ning Zhuo's life hung on the heads of two mechanical dolls.

He examined them and confirmed that both of them were in the spiritual stage.

Ning Zhuo pondered, "Is it because the bodies of Floating Ice White Jade Hand and Weather Ball Ice Crystal Snow are too small to allow room for spiritual growth?"

Ning Zhuo guessed secretly.

Most of his understanding of spirituality comes from Animism.

Although this book is extremely valuable, it does not contain much content and is limited to the explanation of the levels of spirituality.

"Perhaps we should start with the Wanxiang Sect and see if there are any methods for spiritual nourishment?"

Ning Zhuo took note of this.

This is the benefit of joining a super sect. Many things that cannot be bought on the market are available here.

Of course, the Quanshulou should also have knowledge related to spirituality. But Ning Zhuo was not a member of the building, so as a customer, the price he would pay to buy jade slips of this level would be much higher.

Besides, aren’t we now in the Wanxiang Sect, not in the Quanshu Building?

A moment later.

In the training room, Xue Cainu Hui and Xue Shuyu Xie stood opposite each other, with a huge block of ice placed between the two dolls.

There is a monkey-like robot in the ice, which is the Heavy Armored Blood Ape Dasheng.

"Let's start." Ning Zhuo stood farther away, watching with his arms folded.

Xue Shuyu Xie took the first step.

The eyes of the ice dragon head on her shoulder armor flashed with cold light, and it shot fiercely at the ice blocks in the field.

Countless azure light networks quickly emerged from the ice, spreading everywhere and forming hexagonal features in the ice.

The hexagons are connected to form a three-dimensional grid.

Ning Zhuo knew clearly: the more such grids there were, the deeper Xue Shuyu Xie's control over the ice would be.

The hexagonal grid is just an appearance. The real source of power is Xue Shuyu Xie's talent - Snow Soul and Ice Spirit!

This talent will make the owner's soul different from that of ordinary people. Even if they do not practice soul cultivation, they can still make their soul escape from the body and master a certain amount of icy power.

If the soul is injured, you can use ice and snow to speed up the healing of the soul.

The downside is that the soul's essence will grow stronger, thus oppressing the body. In the early stages, this can lead to chronic frostbite. This gap between soul and body will only widen as the cultivator's cultivation level increases.

So much so that in the middle and late stages, the monk's body will be frozen to death, leaving only the soul.

Once a cultivator possesses the talent of Snow Soul and Ice Spirit, he will eventually become a ghost cultivator.

This is an inferior talent.

Most of the ice that was freezing the Heavy Armored Blood Ape Dasheng was penetrated by the hexagonal grid.

But soon, Xue Shuyu Xie's power reached its limit - when the hexagonal grid was about to approach the heavy-armored blood ape Dasheng, it stopped abruptly. No matter how he urged his talent, he could not touch Yuan Dasheng's body.

Xue Shuyu Xie began the next move.

The azure three-dimensional grid soared in brightness under the infusion of magic power.

Boom, boom...

Amidst a series of crisp noises, the grid-covered ice began to crack. Then, countless ice fragments, like billions of tiny diamonds, flew out in a flurry.

The ice that was freezing the Heavy-Armored Blood Ape Dasheng was rapidly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Xue Shuyu Xie gave his all, only a thin layer of ice remained to freeze Yuan Dasheng.

But this level is extremely difficult. No matter what Xue Shuyu Xie does, he remains unmoved and does not lose any momentum.

Seeing this, Ning Zhuo decisively gave the order and asked Xue Cainu Hui to take action as well.

Three pairs of jade arms suddenly spread out, the graceful female body slowly floated up, the naturally icy jade hands began to move, and the three-color enamel armor emitted a brilliant glow.

The two robots joined forces and immediately achieved a breakthrough.

There was a thin layer of ice on Yuan Dasheng's body, which melted quickly like snow under the scorching sun.

The dark negative energy scattered everywhere, but Ning Zhuo took it all away to prevent it from interfering with the subsequent thawing and rescue work.

The inside of the Heavy-Armored Blood Ape Dasheng's mecha was also frozen and filled with ice.

The color of these ice cubes is darker, and it is obvious that they contain more Yin power.

Xue Shuyu Xie and Xue Cainu Hui tried their best, but they could only dissolve a small half of the ice, about 30%.

The remaining 70% still firmly hold their positions, quite stubbornly.

Supernatural power—life hangs by a thread!

Ning Zhuo's eyes lit up and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Unlike before, the life-threatening situation was finally able to connect with Yuan Dasheng's spirit.

His spirit shrank into a ball and was also frozen. No matter how Ning Zhuo called out, there was no response.

As for risking human lives to extract it, forget it.

Ning Zhuo sighed softly.

This is the limit.

Being able to achieve this level is quite good.

After all, the two mechanical puppets are only made of Jindan-level materials and have Jindan-level combat power. They are indeed not enough to deal with a Yuanying-level strongman in a life-and-death battle.

Fortunately, this situation was within Ning Zhuo's expectations.

He then ordered Xue Cainu Hui to continue using her Ice-Fat Jade Hands.

But this time, the icy jade hands no longer thawed, but added ice cubes.

The new ice blocks froze the Heavy Armored Blood Ape Dasheng, almost returning him to his previous state. But this time, the ice blocks contained hidden vitality, constantly bringing vitality and nourishment to Yuan Dasheng's spirit.

Ning Zhuo carefully observed Yuan Dasheng through the hanging life and determined that his spiritual ability could barely be maintained, and then he put his worries aside a little.

"Ice-Fat Jade Hands and Snow Soul and Icy Spirit are both natural gifts, which are the embryonic forms of supernatural powers."

"Even with these two talents working together, they can't completely unfreeze the ice. We have to find another way."

Ning Zhuo had come up with a lot of related methods at this time.

For example, using Nascent Soul-level materials to construct new mechanical bodies would allow them to unleash the combat power of a Nascent Soul-level cultivator. This should be enough to solve Yuan Dasheng's problem.

But Ning Zhuo's attainments in mechanical engineering could not reach this level.

Ning Zhuo has the method, but lack of ability is his pain point.

Ning Zhuo took out the Shadow Blade Night Tiger and asked the two mechanical puppets to try to solve the problem.

The results of this attempt were much worse than Yuan Dasheng's.

The main issue was with Shadow Blade Night Tiger, which was different from Heavy Armor Blood Ape Great Victory. The latter was frozen, while the former was covered in dust.

Even if Ning Zhuo's life hangs on the line and falls on Shadow Blade Night Tiger, he will not be able to contact its spirit.

In the end, Ning Zhuo had no choice but to order Xue Cainu Hui to freeze Shadow Blade Night Tiger in the ice.

"I hope this sealing can also provide support to Meng Yehu's spiritual power!"

Ning Zhuo put away Yuan Dasheng and Meng Yehu and continued to practice.

Aside from his physical body, he was constantly comprehending the Devil-Stained Blood Sinew Technique. Of the three dantians, the lower dantian in the sea of ​​essence was lagging behind, making the slowest progress.

Controlling Xue Cai Nu Hui and Xue Shu Yu Xie also became one of Ning Zhuo's training projects.

Ning Zhuo discovered that by manipulating these puppets, he could help the spirits within them control their bodies more skillfully.

At the same time, Ning Zhuo can also increase his understanding of mechanical puppets through these, laying a realistic foundation for the next improvement.

Ning Zhuo also did not forget to make money.

He was a little nervous because he didn't have enough spirit stones on hand.

As for how to make money, Ning Zhuo certainly had many ways. He chose the fastest way - to sell Ghost Dao Golden Pills!

However, he did not choose to take action in the Wanxiang Sect.

This is too ostentatious! It will also easily expose Ning Zhuo's strength, causing others to overestimate and take him seriously.

After all, there is a god-transformation-level being in charge of the Wanxiang Sect.

The people Ning Zhuo chose to give the Ghost Dao Golden Elixir to were his old friends.

For example, Zhu Xuanji and Wanyaomen of Nandou Kingdom, and General Mu's Mansion and Three Generals Camp of Liangzhu Kingdom, etc. As for Baizhi Immortal City, it was not within the scope of the transfer.

"Although the distance is far, it is secretive."

"Although I can't get away from the Wanxiang Sect and have to be busy with other matters, I can ask the Nandou Kingdom and the Liangzhu Kingdom to send people over to trade!"

For such a large transaction, there is absolutely nothing wrong with letting old friends play the role of traveling merchants!

"Trade with the Nandou Royal Family and the Wanyao Sect, and bring the Lingyin Willow with you."

"It's been so long, this spiritual plant should have recovered, right?"

South Bean Country.

Zhu Xuanji was working at his desk handling official business.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Zhu Xuanji didn't raise his eyelids and was still writing something.

The subordinate knelt on the ground, his voice hoarse beneath his mask, like gravel grinding against each other: "Your Excellency, the ambush was successful. Of the seven intruders, six were killed and one was injured. After interrogating the captives, we confirmed that they are cultivators from the Soul Devouring Sect."

As he spoke, the subordinate presented a badge representing his identity and a jade slip with both hands.

Zhu Xuanji then slowly raised his head, stretched out his hand, and created a suction force out of thin air, sucking the evidence waist pendant and jade slips onto the table.

Zhu Xuanji did not look at the badge on his waist, but picked up the jade slip and infused some of his spiritual consciousness into it.

The jade slip records the image of the ambush.

In an unnamed canyon, crossbow arrows rained down like rain, tearing through the night and catching the Soul Devouring Sect cultivators off guard. After the first round of attacks, three of them were seriously injured.

The black robes of the Soul-Devouring Sect monks fluttered as they fought back like a swarm of bats.

Ning Jiufan took the lead, leading the disguised Divine Constables to engage in battle. Because they were well prepared, no one was killed in the end, and the Soul Devouring Sect's monks were completely defeated.

"Soul-Devouring Sect..." Zhu Xuanji tapped the table with his finger, still confused.

He has always paid close attention to the Ning family of Huoshixian City.

On the one hand, the Ning family and the royal family of Nandou Kingdom and Wanyaomen are in secret alliance. On the other hand, if Zhu Xuanji does not want Huoshi Fairy City and Lava Fairy Palace to fall into the hands of the Meng family, he has to rely on the Ning family to counter the Meng family's aggressive momentum.

Because of his close attention, Zhu Xuanji discovered before that someone had secretly sneaked in to gather information about the Ning family, Ning Zhuo and others.

Zhu Xuanji first held back, then secretly investigated and discovered that the force that was investigating the Ning family and Ning Zhuo's intelligence was the Soul-Devouring Sect, one of the super powers.

"Han Ming and Qi Bai were both defeated by Ning Zhuo... but these alone aren't enough to drive the Soul Devouring Sect into such a major conflict, right?"

"This time, the group of cultivators who want to harm the Ning family includes five Jindan cultivators."

"Since he's trying to find out about Ning Zhuo, I'm afraid it's our Son of Tribulation who has brought even greater losses to the Soul Devouring Sect!"

Zhu Xuanji thought of Ning Zhuo and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "This brat, everyone has left, but he still doesn't keep quiet and makes me clean up his mess."

"Fortunately, he has already arrived at Baizhi Xiancheng, which is still separated from our country by Beifeng Country and Liangzhu Country."

The intelligence channels of the cultivation country are naturally extremely extensive.

It is not surprising that the intelligence tentacles of the Nandou Kingdom have reached the dark and wet swamp.

Otherwise, Zhu Xuanji would not have given Ning Zhuo guidance at the beginning - letting the latter go to find Sangle Youling in Baizhi Fairy City.

"You little brat, you owe me a favor this time." Zhu Xuanji thought of this and suddenly sneezed.

A sense of unease arose in his heart.

"Well, why should I miss him? I'd better not think about him."

"The son of calamity... should be kept away from him. The farther, the safer."

"Someone from the Soul Devouring Sect must have gotten close. Isn't this bad luck?"

Soul Devouring Sect.

Soul mist swirled and surged around the bone altar.

Fei Xin circled around the periphery of the soul fog, not daring to go deeper.

On the altar, Tianshuang and Digui sensed Feixin and slowly withdrew their power. Both soul cultivators looked exhausted.

Tianshuang waved his sleeves, allowing the soul mist to open a blank path.

Fei Xin followed this temporary passage and suddenly flew in front of the two ghosts of heaven and earth.

The two of them used their spiritual sense to check the situation, and their faces darkened.

"What? A team consisting of five Jindan elites and two foundation-building elites were completely wiped out?!"

"How is this possible?"

The two were shocked; this situation was unexpected.

They suffered a great loss at the hands of Ning Zhuo in the Thousand Peaks Forest battlefield between the two countries.

The two ghosts of heaven and earth did not make it to the second major battle. After regrouping, they began their revenge.

But by that time, Ning Zhuo had already left the two countries.

Because they were using the Wanli Wandering Dragon to travel through the void, the two ghosts of heaven and earth lost track just as they were about to start.

In the following period of time, they actively searched for intelligence, issued tasks within the Soul-Devouring Sect, and asked others to participate in the search.

Unfortunately, the two ghosts of heaven and earth never found Ning Zhuo.

This made Tianshuang very anxious!

In the previous battle, Tian Shuang suffered a huge loss. Not only did he lose almost all of his wealth to Ning Zhuo, but he also lost face in front of his old partner Di Gui.

What should I do if I can’t find Ning Zhuo?

After discussing it, the two ghosts of heaven and earth came up with a plan. That was to return to the Soul Devouring Sect's main mountain gate and use the bone altar there to perform divination on the Sky Frost Ghost Face.

Once Ning Zhuo uses the Sky Frost Ghost Mask, the divination will take effect, thus exposing his exact location.

The two ghosts of heaven and earth stood guard at the altar of bones, taking turns presiding over it, maintaining it almost day and night, at a huge cost.

But there was no news from Tianshuang Ghost Face.

"That's impossible!"

"Sky Frost Ghost Face possesses the combat power of the Nascent Soul level. It's impossible for this brat Ning Zhuo to never use it, right?"

With this idea in mind, the two of them managed to maintain the relationship for more than a month and were exhausted.

The two men, unable to hold on any longer, decided to offer a large reward and issue a task, asking their fellow monks to attack the Ning family and force Ning Zhuo to show up.

What they didn't know was that behind the Ning family stood the royal family of Nandou Kingdom.

The team of monks that they had placed high hopes on was completely wiped out!
