Envoy of the Netherworld - Qi Bai.
The main body is black, with gray and white as the color scheme.
It was six feet five inches tall and very thin. It looked like it was wearing a bamboo hat on its head, but it was actually a whole piece. Its skull was like a dark, conical bamboo hat that spread out in all directions.
Hidden in the shadow cast by the bamboo hat is its entire grayish-white head, reminiscent of pale human bones.
Its eyes are a long black strip on its head, running horizontally above the bridge of its nose. In the middle of the strip there is a grayish-white horizontal line that is faintly visible.
There were also talisman patterns carved on its body. The patterns were intricate, outlined by various gray and white lines, and appeared and disappeared from time to time. If you didn't pay attention, it would be like seeing ghosts entwined around its body.
"What a great mechanism." Ning Zhuo ran forward excitedly.
Behind him, Sun Lingtong saw Ning Zhuo's excited expression, smiled faintly and shook his head.
He knew that Ning Zhuo had a genuine love for all kinds of mechanical creations.
When he was two or three years old, Ning Zhuo was obsessed with the small vendors. When he went to school, he was reluctant to part with mechanical toys such as Erlangtui and Sanmao. Ning Zhuo was short of money, so he could only look at them but could not afford to buy them.
After observing Ning Zhuo many times, Sun Lingtong bought him a mechanical toy on his birthday. Ning Zhuo was so excited that he was happy for a long time.
"The skeleton seems to be made of dark blue iron, which is most suitable for the operation of Yin magic power."
"The joints are made of century-old soul wood, which is quite flexible and can also serve as a place for ghosts to reside."
"The core is the Yinque Spirit Jade. This natural special spirit stone can store a huge amount of Yin spirit energy!"
Finally, Ning Zhuo grabbed the edge of the hat and lifted it up to an angle so that he could carefully identify Qi Bai's eyes.
"It seems that death-light glass is used, which is only one of the main materials. The eye components must be made of mixed materials!" Ning Zhuo said confidently.
"If that's the case..." The puppet Ning Zhuo suddenly raised his fist, "This mechanical puppet should be able to display its talent! The special structure of its eyes is designed for it to display its power of seeing the dead."
Thinking of this, Ning Zhuo suddenly turned his head and turned his entire face to the back, and said to Sun Lingtong: "Boss Sun, what information did you get?"
Sun Lingtong exclaimed: "I didn't get anything."
"Blame me, blame me. I was too excited!" Ning Zhuo patted his wooden head, making a banging sound.
The next moment, he called upon my Buddha Heart Demon Seal and put the life on the line again.
"Got it. I got a lot of information." Sun Lingtong said.
Ning Zhuo nodded: "This is the same as I did then!"
Sun Lingtong relayed, "This mechanical puppet is called the Netherworld Envoy. Under the forehead is the official seal of the Netherworld, which can summon ghosts and gods from all directions."
"There is a mechanical part on the neck called the Soul-Swaying Throat Drum, which can make a drum sound to attack, causing the soul of the living to vibrate violently."
"Further down, there are mechanical parts such as the boom chamber and the sound-releasing bottle, which are used in conjunction with the soul-shaking throat drum."
"The mechanical spray holes distributed throughout the body can spray out golden ghost yarn when opened. The ghost yarn can merge into one in the blink of an eye, forming a black robe to protect the body."
Ning Zhuo nodded slightly as he listened.
There is an obvious difference between the puppet Qi Bai and the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng, that is, there are many mechanical parts.
Ning Zhuo understood the reason: "Before refining, Boss Sun put the Hades Ghost Seal, the Soul-Stirring Rattle, and the broken magic weapon Golden Threaded Robe into Qi Bai's Dantian."
"When refining, the Lava Immortal Palace melted all these magic weapons together and made them into corresponding mechanical parts."
Sun Lingtong suddenly glared: "With 60% spiritual power, can you use your talent, Netherworld Death Eyes, twelve times? Every time you activate this talent, the structure of your eyes will be destroyed. You need to replace the parts in time before you can use it a second time."
"The Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai possesses the Nine Netherworld Formation and the Spiritual Communication Formation. The former can mobilize Yin spiritual power to replenish oneself or enhance the effectiveness of spells. The latter can communicate with intelligent life within a certain range."
"The Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai has retained the Soul Devouring Golden Pill. He uses the Nine-Turn Soul Devouring Technique to absorb the enemy's souls and enhance his own status, or to replenish the ghosts in his Yin army."
This was something Ning Zhuo had expected, referring to Yuan Dasheng. Because Yuan Dasheng could also perform the magic blood-stained tendon skill.
"There are twelve ghost-raising jars in the mechanism, which are placed in different places in the body. If the ashes of the ghost can be stored, the ghost-raising effect will be better."
"There are thirty-six magic talismans in total, which are..."
Sun Lingtong gradually couldn't continue speaking.
Ning Zhuo was listening intently, and now he asked hurriedly: "Boss Sun, what's wrong?"
Sun Lingtong's voice trembled: "This... is a bit scary."
"What do you mean?" Ning Zhuo asked.
Sun Lingtong scratched his head: "Xiaozhu, you know about the Burial Spirit Sect, right?"
Ning Zhuo nodded immediately: "I know, the demon sect is very strong, but killing people to sacrifice spirits and burying all things in the world is just for the sake of spirituality."
"Because they were so cruel and ruthless, they were besieged and their entire family was wiped out."
Sun Lingtong nodded: "The Soul Burial Sect buried thousands of lives just to seek spirituality, but was surrounded by the righteous, evil and evil sects."
"Look at the Lava Fairy Palace!"
"Not only can it refine spirituality, it also thoughtfully arranges a mechanical body for the spirituality."
"Although the Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai is limited by the level and has a thin body, he can definitely become a golden elixir fighter with the three major mechanical parts if he continues to develop."
"If outsiders find out that Lava Fairy Palace has such ability, what do you think will happen, Xiaozhuo?"
Ning Zhu's heart trembled slightly, and then he fell into silence.
Back then, the Zangling Sect was only a sect that buried lives to seek spirits, but it was targeted by almost the entire cultivation world. They didn't stop until the entire sect was wiped out.
What would happen if this was discovered? Ning Zhuo thought about it, and then referred to the Zangling Sect, and suddenly felt a little chilly.
Sun Lingtong raised his head and sighed, "Tsk tsk, the Third Sect Master is really powerful. It seems that he once participated in the battle to wipe out the Burial Spirit Sect?"
"He once joined the Demon Sect and practiced there for a long time."
"Look at the mechanical puppet that has been refined. It is really full of demonic nature!"
One of the essential differences between the evil path and the righteous path is that the resources for practicing the evil path come from the cultivators themselves.
The Lava Fairy Palace refines mechanical creations using corpses as materials, which is definitely an act of the devil.
Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Boss Sun, these are all tools. If used properly, they are good. If used evilly, they are evil."
"Just like when we took control of the black market and rectified it, we eliminated so much ugliness and crime. This is a just act."
Sun Lingtong: "Brother, didn't we come here for revenge?"
"Later, our influence grew. In order to gather intelligence more conveniently in the future and also for profit, we fought many battles. Gradually, we became the overlord of the black market, and finally the master of the black market."

Ning Zhuo coughed twice and said, "We did avoid a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice, and indirectly saved a lot of innocent lives. Boss, just tell me, isn't that right?"
“You.” Sun Lingtong laughed, “Yes, yes, yes!”
If it were someone else, Sun Lingtong would have rolled his eyes or even spit at such hypocrisy.
Too unpleasant, too hypocritical.
But since my good brother Ning Zhuo said so, let it go.
Sun Lingtong could only shake his head and smile indulgently, saying, "I see everything but won't say it out loud."
"Actually, it's not my fault."
"Think about the righteous people he came into contact with when he was a child. What kind of people were they?"
"Ning Ze, Wang Lan, Ning Ji, and Ning Xiaoren...don't these people all say one thing and do another?"
"So, in my initial understanding, the right path should be like this."
Ning Zhuo pondered and said, "It's only 60% spirituality. Next, we'd better increase it to 100%!"
"Spirituality is the most valuable and precious part of this mechanical puppet."
"We need information about Qi Bai."
“This is a bit difficult.” Sun Lingtong spread his hands, “I am now wanted by the whole city, and the black market has also been lost. The previous intelligence channels are basically useless.”
Ning Zhuo sighed: "Well, I can only take it one step at a time."
Sun Lingtong said: "Once Qi Bai dies, the Soul Devouring Sect will definitely react. We should hold back a bit and not rush to find out about Qi Bai, otherwise it will be easy for someone to find out."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, boss." Ning Zhuo nodded repeatedly.
Ning Sun gained a lot from this exploration of the Immortal Palace. They successfully eliminated the hidden danger of Qi Bai, and it was not a good idea to keep him sealed off like this.
Wasn’t the previous imprisonment of Han Ming a painful lesson?
Next, Sun Ning used the checkpoints to test the power of the Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai.
As a result, Qi Bai's combat power was much lower than the two had imagined.
The materials used by the Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai are so ordinary that once the power of the golden elixir is activated, the mechanical body will not be able to withstand it.
This is quite embarrassing.
Qi Bai's two most important mechanical parts are the Official Seal of the Underworld and the Soul-Stirring Throat Drum.
The official seal of the underworld can communicate with ghosts and gods. Ghosts and gods are not controlled by Sun Lingtong, but by the underworld envoy Qi Bai. Now Qi Bai's spirituality is only 60%, which is worse than Yuan Dasheng at the beginning. He has no way to communicate with the ghosts and gods who come through the spirit.
Although the Soul-swaying Throat Drum is very powerful, the mechanical puppets in the level have no souls. This is just like before, when Qi Bai wanted to fight the ape in the Soul-swaying Tree, but found that there was no soul to swing.
Qi Bai still has the innate Netherworld Dead Eyes to use, but with 60% of his spiritual power, he can only use it twelve times.
Moreover, this talent is mainly used for reconnaissance, so Ning and Sun had no intention of trying it at all.
Ning Zhuo also discovered that Sun Lingtong's control over the Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai was much weaker than when he was over Yuan Dasheng.
Ning Sun discussed and speculated, and thought that it might be because Boss Sun was only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, while Qi Bai retained his golden elixir from his lifetime, and the slave was strong and the master was weak, so Qi Bai was not very obedient.
Sun Lingtong guessed: "The purpose of the three masters in setting up the three Buddhist trials is probably to allow each of the trial disciples to have a relatively sophisticated mechanical creation."
"This mechanical creation can be used as the main one in the future. At the beginning, the materials used are ordinary and relatively cheap."
"I'm afraid that in the next levels, there will be many opportunities to transform and improve the main general mechanism step by step."
"In the process of assembling and modifying the main mechanism, the trial disciples' attainments in mechanism technology will continue to grow!"
No matter what, the combat power of the Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai still has huge potential, and requires investment in the future to truly realize its golden elixir combat power.
"It's almost time, Xiaozhuo, we should go back." Sun Lingtong reminded.
Ning Zhuo said, "There is still some time. We must make full use of every opportunity to explore the Fairy Palace! I have a good idea now."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
