Chapter 733 Ning Zhuo: Shut up!

Chapter 733 Ning Zhuo: Shut up!

"A person can produce nearly twenty strands of Void Spider Silk every day, and the quality reaches the Golden Core level? This output is a bit exaggerated." Even though Ning Zhuo didn't know much about the Void Spider species, he couldn't help but be amazed when evaluating it based on its market value alone.

"Could it be that he possesses some talent that can speed up his own production?"

Ning Zhuo was just guessing and didn't want to ask in detail.

This was the first time he and Che Zhuzi met, and asking would be an insult.

Ning Zhuo chose to believe it because there was no need to deceive, and Che Zhuzi was such a shrewd person. To have lived in the Wanxiang Sect for such a long time, he must have attached great importance to business reputation.

"In that case, I'll start with sixty," Ning Zhuo said.

Che Zhuzi hadn't realized the scale of this deal yet, and still asked with a smug smile, "What quality?"

In his opinion, Ning Zhuo was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, so he should be using Foundation Establishment-level precious materials. Of course, if he wanted to pursue quantity, it was normal for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to use Qi Refining-level materials.

Ning Zhuo said calmly, "Of course it's Golden Core quality. If the senior can produce Yuanying level, and the price is acceptable, I will also buy it."

If you can use high-level ones, then use them.

Che Zhuzi was secretly surprised, his expression changed slightly, and he stared at Ning Zhuo, confirming, "Sixty strands of Jindan-level Void Spider Silk, are you sure?"

Ning Zhuo nodded: "Of course. This is the deposit."

As he spoke, he took out a ghostly golden elixir and handed it directly to Che Zhuzi.

"Gold, golden elixir?!" Che Zhuzi's eyes widened.

Ning Zhuo demonstrated his financial resources and strength at the same time!

Golden Elixir...

Che Zhuzi himself is just a golden elixir.

Which foundation-building cultivator would directly use a golden elixir as a deposit in a transaction?

For a moment, Che Zhuzi wanted to ask Ning Zhuo, "Who are you? Where are you from?"

His evaluation of Ning Zhuo quickly rose.

He tried to calm his mind and expression, and said calmly, "It's just sixty Golden Core-level Void Spider Silks. This Golden Core is the full payment, and it's more than enough."

Ning Zhuo was surprised for a moment, then apologized: "Oh, senior, it's my fault that I didn't explain it clearly!"

"I said sixty a month."

Che Zhuzi couldn't hold his composure anymore and stared at Ning Zhuo in surprise. "Sixty per month, are you sure? How long will it last?"

Ning Zhuo shrugged slightly: "How about a one-year subscription first?"

Che Zhuzi frowned and thought to himself, "Although my production has increased seventeen-fold, I can't really maintain it."

"Producing seventeen strands of Jindan-grade spider silk every day will be very tiring. Over time, it will deplete your blood essence, your essence, and even shorten your lifespan."

"If I give it my all, it will take at least four days to produce sixty strands of Void Spider Silk each month. But in reality, I definitely can't give it my all."

"Based on the normal content, it would take six days."

“How many six-day days are there in a month?”

Che Zhuzi felt a little tricky.

He has more than just Ning Zhuo's client. In fact, Ning Zhuo is a latecomer.

Che Zhuzi has maintained a long-term trading relationship with other buyers. His business is very stable and his output covers the needs of these buyers.

But Ning Zhuo now came from behind and forcefully inserted himself in...

Seeing Che Zhuzi lost in thought, Ning Zhuo decisively increased the stakes: "Senior Che Zhuzi, do you think the deposit is not enough?"

"It's okay, I can add some more."

As he spoke, he took out another ghost golden elixir.

Che Zhuzi's heart was shocked again.

Ning Zhuo took out the golden elixir as if he were taking out an ordinary elixir, which was a bit too easy.

"With such wealth and power, he will definitely be a big customer in the future!" Che Zhuzi's heart beat faster.

He was interrupted by Ning Zhuo. Before, he might have been a little angry, but now he was all smiles and said hurriedly: "Two golden pills as a deposit is enough, more than enough!"

Ning Zhuo was even more straightforward than him and urged directly: "Then let's sign the contract first."

Under the watchful eye of Lady Pan Si, the two successfully signed the contract.

"I'll take my leave first, Senior Che Zhuzi." Ning Zhuo turned and left.

This business is not small and has great prospects.

Che Zhuzi quickly spoke up, "Young friend Ning Zhuo, there's no rush. We hit it off right away. Why don't you let me get ready and have some wine together?"

Ning Zhuo shook his head: "I have something else to do. Senior Che Zhuzi, if we have time in the future, we can talk again."

Che Zhuzi was rejected, but her smile became even wider.

He personally escorted Ning Zhuo out of the cave: "Don't call me senior, we can just be friends as equals."

"That's fine." Ning Zhuo nodded and accepted it naturally.

This casual attitude was noticed by Che Zhuzi, who couldn't help but guess: It seems that Ning Zhuo's identity is indeed not simple, and being a Jindan cultivator is not special to him.

Che Zhuzi felt more and more that he had made the right decision to make friends with Ning Zhuo.

When Ning Zhuo was about to leave, he suddenly said to Che Zhuzi, "Daoist Che Zhuzi, I have a suggestion. Please consider it."

"If Banji asks you to buy Void Spider Silk, please refuse."

"And I will purchase the corresponding quantity at a 50% premium to compensate for your losses."

"What do you think?"

A sharp light suddenly flashed in Che Zhuzi's eyes.

He knew the deeper meaning behind Ning Zhuo's words - he wanted Che Zhuzi to choose a side.

"This is indeed something that needs to be considered." Che Zhuzi did not refuse at the first time.

In a short period of time, Ning Zhuo demonstrated his strength, which had changed his thoughts when he first communicated with Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo returned to the Qingshi Cave and first interrogated Pan Si Niangzi.

Pan Si collapsed to the ground, weeping and begging: "First, you praised Ning Zhuo as a model of righteousness and a gentleman of virtue, but now you force a weak woman into slavery. How can this be wrong? If you let her go, I will definitely reform and repay you later."

Ning Zhuo nodded with a smile, praised her attitude of admitting her mistakes, and asked about Ban Ji's plan to deal with him.

Lady Pan Si looked sincere and swore that if Ning Zhuo let her go, she would tell him everything she knew.

Ning Zhuo's smile grew even wider: "Madam, are you bullying me because I'm young and ignorant?"

Pan Si Niangzi had been watching the verbal exchange between Ning Zhuo and Che Zhuzi. Tears streaming down her face, she quickly expressed her determination to fight for her freedom even at the cost of death. At the same time, she told Ning Zhuo that she had other hidden treasures. If she let her go, she would lead him to uncover the hidden treasures.

Ning Zhuo: "I searched your soul, wouldn't I know it anyway?"

Madam Pansi's eyes widened with tears, and she quickly shook her head, "Master Ning Zhuo, you are a rising star in the righteous path. How could you possibly use a demonic method like soul-searching?"

"If this gets out, it will really damage your reputation."

"You are kind and compassionate. You only frightened me so that I could be guided to good. I am willing to be guided..."

Having said that, Lady Pan Si gave Ning Zhuo a charming look, then crawled forward a few steps, trying to get close to Ning Zhuo's calf.

Ning Zhuo snorted coldly, impatient to continue dealing with Lady Pan Si.

He kicked Pan Si Niang directly to the ground, and shouted with righteous indignation, "You are a wicked demon cultivator. What morality can I talk about with scum like you? Isn't it extremely pedantic?"

"I'm just asking you, when you were plotting to murder me, were you really that righteous?"

Lady Pan Si cried out, "Master, I was just being manipulated. That Ban Ji gave me a large sum of money, and I..."

Ning Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Shut up."

Lady Pan Si immediately shut up and murmured, unable to utter a single word.

Ning Zhuo sneered: "Look, you're at a loss for words, aren't you?"

Pan Si's pupils shrank sharply as she stared at Ning Zhuo intently. Her face flushed with anger as she roared inwardly, "If you have the guts, stop using the slave contract to control me. Let me speak, ahhhh!"

How can you, a young boy and a rising star in the righteous path, be so shameless?!

Ning Zhuo issued an ultimatum: "I won't waste my time with you anymore. I'm giving you an ultimatum. Tell the truth, or you'll suffer physical pain."

Only then did Lady Pansi stop looking mournful. She sneered at Ning Zhuo and said, "Young Master, you have the slave contract in your hand. Why don't you use it to force me to tell you the truth?"

Without waiting for Ning Zhuo's reply, Lady Pan Si answered herself, "Yes, you are right to worry."

"After accepting Banji's commission, we signed a contract. If the details are revealed, we will suffer the consequences and die."

"Even if you use the soul-searching technique, you won't get what you want."

"Don't forget, I'm a demon cultivator!"

"As a demon cultivator, how could you not be prepared for soul-searching techniques?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I've long ago used some means to cultivate my soul, which allows me to resist soul searches. In critical moments, my soul will self-destruct. Even if my soul scatters, I won't let the enemy succeed!"

When Lady Pan Si said this, she revealed a fierce look, and finally showed the style of a demon cultivator.

Ning Zhuo fell into silence, just staring at Pan Si Niangzi.

After a few breaths, he said calmly, "You said you could resist soul-searching techniques? I wonder what kind of resistance you could resist?"

"For example, Soul Binding Thread, Three Souls Spinning Wheel, Soul-Cutting and Demon-Feeding? Or Soul-Seedling Embryo, Soul-Cicada Molting, Human Candle Sacrifice? Or perhaps Soul-Makeup Mirror, Soul-Tracing Sutra, and Soul-Dreaming Ointment?"

Ning Chou is as good as knowing the back of his hand.

"If this doesn't work, you can also use the Nine Netherworld Bone Bell, the Love Puppet Guide, the Marrow Heart Ghost Firefly, the Enmity of the Couple, etc."

"These methods all have the wonderful effect of searching the soul."

"Which one can you resist?"

Lady Pan Si was stunned after hearing this.

Her Adam's apple rolled and she swallowed subconsciously. She looked at Ning Zhuo with eyes filled with shock and questioning.

Why are you so familiar with these soul-searching techniques?

Are you a demon cultivator, or am I? !

Lady Pan Si felt a deep chill from Ning Zhuo's smile.

Ning Zhuo silently thanked Tianshuang, one of the two ghosts of heaven and earth, for his contribution.

The two fell into silence.

Lady Pan Si could only bet that Ning Zhuo was bluffing.

And Ning Zhuo is indeed like that.

Although he knew these soul-searching techniques, he had not truly mastered them, so he could not do anything to Lady Pan Si.

"I can use my life-limiting magical power to cooperate with the slave contract... but the real key is the possible existence of the secret contract."

"I need to find the complete contents of this contract, then find any flaws or loopholes, and then choose to use a soul-searching technique."

"Like unlocking a lock, I prevented backlash and then opened the portal to her vault of memories for me to peruse."

When he thought of this, Ning Zhuo suddenly felt a shock both physically and mentally.

"So that's how it is!"

A flash of inspiration came to his mind, and it was an old story that came back to him, allowing him to grasp an extremely critical idea.

Before, when this spiritual light appeared, Ning Zhuo had a strange feeling because of Ban Ji, which interrupted the capture of the spiritual light.

At this moment, he captured Lady Pan Si and thought of the soul-searching technique, which triggered his previous inspiration again.

"Soul-searching technique, soul-searching technique is the most important!"

Ning Zhuo was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

According to his assumption, he is likely to undergo extreme qualitative changes in his practice because of the soul-searching technique.

Ning Zhuo completely forgot about the matters of Ban Ji and Pan Si Niangzi.

"I want to devote all my energy to studying soul-searching techniques!"

Cloud Soul Valley.

Tianshuang stood on the edge of the cliff, the tattered hem of his clothes being torn by the strong wind.

A fierce battle is coming to an end, Tianshuang is defeated and the winner is Dihui.

Dihui cast a spell and shouted at him: "Tian Shuang, wake up!"

Tianshuang reacted as if she had been electrocuted. She suddenly reached out and grabbed her cheeks, then pulled them outwards hard.

After a few breaths, he pulled a ghost mask away from his face.

"I am Tianshuang, I am Tianshuang!"

"I'm not a ghost!!"

After the ghost mask left his body, Tianshuang became much more conscious and understood who he really was.

Di Hui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had regained consciousness. He slowly approached and asked, "Tian Shuang, why did you continue the Soul-to-Soul Convergence Technique for so long?"

Tian Shuang was covered in cold sweat. He shook his head helplessly and sighed deeply, "I was a little too impatient."

Dihui also sighed.

Ever since the battle at Qianfenglin, Tianshuang suffered a huge loss and has been unable to calm down. He has been quite anxious and eager for success in all aspects.

"It's okay to have a soul-to-soul connection technique. But if you mess up, I can still cover for you."

"But you must never use the Burning Boat Soul Crossing Technique!" Di Hui warned.

Tian Shuang nodded: "Of course I understand this. I am not so ignorant and fearless."

Dihui sighed and looked at the abyss below the cliff.

The abyss is filled with fog that never dissipates all year round. Many gray and white clouds are distorted into many blurry human faces, which flash by in the thick fog.

Di Hui said, "This is a rare place for soul cultivation. The cloud souls produced are unique. Tian Shuang, you have almost spent all your family wealth. Collect more here."

Tian Shuang looked hopeless: "Can you please stop talking about this?!"

Dihui laughed out loud.

Wanxiang Sect, Qingshi Cave Mansion.

Ning Zhuo stared at the jade slip and said, "I've decided. I'll learn the Burning Boat Soul Crossing Technique!"

This technique is also a type of soul-searching technique, but its effect is extreme and overbearing.

Once unleashed, it can cause the target's soul to ignite, burning itself into a fire ship.

The monk who cast the spell escaped from his soul and began to cross the sea on a fire boat.

During this process, the fire ship spontaneously combusted, bringing back countless memories.

The monk passively accepted all kinds of memories in the fire ship, as if he were the person involved, experiencing the life experiences of others from their own perspective!

Therefore, all skills can be obtained by the person who casts the spell.

But this method has huge drawbacks.

Because the power of soul searching is so strong and the effect is so good, the monk who casts the spell is likely to forget his own life after experiencing another person's life.
