Ning Zhuo came to the alchemy furnace in the corner.

There was a raging flame burning in the alchemy furnace. A half-human-high mechanical monkey stood in the flame, constantly enduring the heat.

The skeleton of the mechanical monkey stood straight, and its bright red hair looked lifelike, but its muscles were slowly degrading in the flames, flowing out from every crack.

The Lava Fairy Palace is hidden in the magma of the volcano. Ning Zhuo needs to control the Infernape with a thousand pounds of fire spirit, shuttle through the thick magma, and stick to the surface of the Fairy Palace to self-destruct.

But now, its muscles can't hold up.

"If the cloud pattern softsilver doesn't work, let's try the next one."

Ning Zhuo came to the table and sat down. According to his plan, he would try using soot mud tonight.

The reddish-brown oily mud exudes a pungent smell.

Ning Zhuo took out a small wooden hammer and started hammering the soil.

Every time the small wooden hammer hit the soil, it would make a dull thumping sound, breaking up the lumps of earth in the mud. Whenever sparks appeared in the reddish-brown soil, the wooden hammer would emit cold air, extinguishing the sparks in time.

Ning Zhuo specially designed and developed a small wooden hammer to deal with oil smoke mud.

If the examiner of the major exam saw this, he would immediately give Ning Zhuo an excellent score in the talisman subject.

The three evaluation levels of inferior, medium and superior are the most commonly used.

Super-class monks are extremely rare, and there may not be even one in a class. This means that normal evaluation standards are no longer enough to describe the excellence of young monks!

By the time all the lumps in the oil smoke mud were completely dissolved, a layer of kerosene had accumulated on the surface of the red mud.

Ning Zhuo took out a square cotton handkerchief and covered the soot mud.

As he input his magic power, the formation on the square handkerchief activated and quickly absorbed all the kerosene.

This square handkerchief was also designed by Ning Zhuo, but this time, instead of using talismans, he set up a miniature formation.

The level of formation on this handkerchief is also superb.

Ning Zhuo carefully checked and confirmed that the lampblack soil was properly processed, then began to rub it.

The processed kerosene mud had excellent viscosity and was rubbed by Ning Zhuo until it was flexible and fine. All other impurities in the mud were washed out under the infusion of Ning Zhuo's magic power.

Ning Zhuo disassembled one of the arms of the mechanical monkey, took the processed soot mud, and attached it to the arm frame.

Ning Zhuo's ten fingers were white, and under the light of the spirit lamp, his fingers moved swiftly and neatly. He was concentrating and focused, and had completely forgotten the passage of time. At this moment, the boy was full of serious charm.

He quickly molded the soot mud into shape, and plump blood-red muscles appeared on the bare arm skeleton.

Ning Zhuo certainly didn't just use his hands to sculpt the exterior. In the process, he also constantly mobilized his magical powers, infused them into the soil, and combed the interior.

Just gently cut the muscle with a knife and you can see the red mud inside, which is also in the shape of muscle.

The amazing ability of this material to be shaped was enough to make the elders of the school exclaim in amazement.

If Ning Zhuo revealed this, he would definitely be the focus of publicity for this year's session by the school elders. The emergence of such an excellent refining seed is enough to prove the talent and hard work of the school elders.

After the shaping was completed, Ning Zhuo began to conduct various tests on the arms.

no.

Soot Sludge has excellent fire resistance, but its mana adaptation is quite poor.

“It needs to be improved.”

Ning Zhuo began to recall.

"When oil smoke mud is mixed with thunder sand, explosives can be made. They are often used to blast mountains or fight monsters."

"The oil smoke mud combined with poison can be refined into poison pills. When the poison pills disintegrate, they can release a fire and poison smoke barrier to block the enemy and defend."

"The oil smoke mud can also be combined with coal stone and placed in the furnace in the refining room to burn for a long time and maintain high temperature."

…

Over the years, Ning Zhuo tried his best to memorize all the knowledge he could get his hands on.

During his ten-day holidays, he often stayed in the family library for the entire day, from morning till night, forgetting to eat and sleep.

No one knows that Ning Zhuo, who looks ordinary, is actually a human-shaped library! Ning Zhuo recalled all the knowledge about lampblack mud, but he couldn't find a way to improve lampblack mud.

The young man has his own ambitions, and there is a gleam of confidence in his eyes.

"Lamp smoke mud is warm in nature and enters the heart and liver meridians. The kerosene gas can volatilize dampness and cold evil in the bones. A small amount can treat abdominal pain caused by cold stagnation."

"If it is mixed with the moonlight water in the well, the fire and water elements will be harmonized, and the weight may be reduced."

"If we use the wind feathers at the tail of the first-flying bird as the lead medicine and refine them together... perhaps we can use the lightness of the wind and the looseness of its movement to make the main medicine, the oil smoke mud, perform at its best."

"The catkins of Lingyin Willow may also work. Take the catkins and oil smoke mud and refine them together. The proportions may refer to the recipes of Qingling Pill and Qingzhuo Powder. The weight of the thing refined together should be greatly reduced."

…

Ning Zhuo was quick-witted and logical, and he quickly came up with several prescriptions based on pharmacology.

Based on this performance alone, let alone his excellent performance in the medicine subject, the Ning family would definitely take action to firmly lock Ning Zhuo into the family.

Ning Zhuo began to try to synthesize new materials.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

He looked through his own material library and found at least seven options to try.

Moonlight water in the well? Failed.

The finished clay is slightly less sticky and lighter, but its fire resistance is greatly weakened.

Fly Toba first?

Big failure.

What you get is no longer soil, but a pool of dust.

I am rather clumsy but I am happy: "Toba's style is so strong, and my understanding of this material has deepened."

The third attempt was to try the Lingyin Willow Catkins.

The clay obtained showed catkin patterns, its viscosity remained unchanged, its fire resistance decreased slightly, and its weight decreased sharply. It passed all other tests.

"Lucky, I didn't expect to get what I wanted on my third try... Ugh."

Ning Zhuo didn't feel happy for long before he saw the willow catkin patterns on the clay floating up on their own. The change from clear to turbid caused the clay to deteriorate.

The shape of this new clay was not stable! Ning Zhuo tried the fourth one and failed miserably.

He thought about it for a while, but did not rush to move on to the next plan. Instead, he immersed himself in studying Lingyin Liu's plan.

"This plan is close to success. It is adaptable to all kinds of magic power. All I need to do is stabilize its form."

"What should I do?"

Old problems are solved and new problems arise.

Ning Zhuo was not discouraged at all, but was eager to try and became more focused in his thinking. He was immersed in the design process, and thinking did not make him feel boring or tedious, but made him feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

In this state of thinking, he feels his own existence and his own value.

He knew that he was creating something that did not exist in nature! This expectation and sense of accomplishment were something that nothing else could bring him.

It is torture for others, but it is a wonderful enjoyment and a spiritual pleasure for him.

Time passed silently, and Ning Zhuo, immersed in thought, didn't feel anything at all.

I don’t know how long it took, but his eyes suddenly lit up.

"To solve this technical problem, we have to use a dynamic array."

However, this level of knowledge is far beyond the syllabus and is not taught in the Ning Family Academy.

Ning Zhuo stood up and paced back and forth in the underground workshop.

After thinking for a moment, he stopped and raised his head slightly, with a decision made: "Chen Cha... is known as the Living Formation Master, and his best skill is the Moving Formation. The key is that he is also a Mechanical Master."

"It's time to reach out to him."
