"Recruitment order..." Meng Kui sneered in his heart.

The king's move was not surprising, and the order to recruit talents was also within his expectations, so he could think of a way to deal with it.

A few days after the recruitment order was issued, three Jindan cultivators entered Huoshi Xiancheng and were successfully "recruited" by the City Lord's Mansion.

It has been many years since the Meng family discovered the Lava Fairy Palace.

For the Meng family, taking control of the Lava Palace gave them a reason to occupy the Fire Persimmon City. The resources of the Fire Persimmon City were not outstanding, but it was in a good location and was not an enclave for the Meng family. The Meng family's sphere of influence could be expanded greatly.

The influence of the Meng family in the entire country of Nandou will also increase significantly.

These interests are what the Meng family really values! "Things are going to change!"

The sound of the decree spread throughout the city, and Ning Zhuo naturally heard it.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes were focused, and the pressure in his heart doubled.

There are currently two tracks to compete for the position of successor to the Lava Fairy Palace.

The first old track is for the foundation-building stage, the golden elixir stage, the Nascent Soul stage and above. Each level of cultivation has a standard for mechanical skills attainment. As long as you meet this standard, you can participate in the competition. Through various actions, you can help the Lava Fairy Palace and obtain corresponding Fairy Palace contributions.

When the contributions to the Immortal Palace accumulate to a certain level, they can be exchanged for corresponding resources. The highest contribution should be the position of the Palace Master of the Immortal Palace.

The second new track is only for the Qi Refining Stage. To be more precise, it is for those in the Qi Refining Stage who have practiced the Five Elements Qi Law.

When one reaches the third peak of the Five Elements Qi Law, one will be qualified to have his soul pulled out of the palace at the stake.

In the test levels specially arranged by the three sect masters, the Qi-refining monks will continuously pass through the levels in the form of puppets, learning and growing in the process.

As to whether this new track will eventually lead to the throne of Asgard, Ning Zhuo is not completely sure, but he guesses that it will.

The discovery of the new track is a major benefit to Ning Zhuo.

However, as he continued to move forward and break through, he also encountered many accidents, several of which involved life-and-death crises.

At the beginning, he was on the list, then Yuan Dasheng suddenly appeared, and then Qi Bai captured Sun Lingtong...

Ning Zhuo had spent most of his accumulation over the past decade to get to where he is today. Almost all of his accumulated mechanical creations were consumed in the battle with Qi Bai.

Sun Lingtong is currently hiding in one of the few underground bases, which is not safe either.

The issuance of the recruitment order will surely attract countless foreign monks, and a large number of newcomers will participate in the competition.

Ning Zhuo was unsure about this.

There are so many talented people in the world, just like carps and crucian carps swimming in the river. It is not surprising that a dragon fish jumps out.

"Especially those famous sects, where the monks receive the best education and have access to superior cultivation resources since childhood. How can I compare with them?"

"My knowledge of mechanical devices is outstanding in the Ning family, but the Ning family itself is known for its talismans."

"Among the monks who will come in next, there must be some whose mechanical skills are far superior to mine."

"My advantage in mechanical engineering will become insignificant in comparison!"

"My biggest advantage now is that I start first. I have the fastest progress in the trial levels, and I am ranked first in the 'entry standard' among the five lists."

"But how long can this advantage last?"

"I have tried my best to get to this point today."

Ning Zhuo really wanted to get through the next level quickly.

Currently, he has reached the sixth level of Divine Sea cultivation and can open the second Buddhist door.

However, the first hurdle after entering Buddhism is quite difficult.

After Ning Zhuo tried it, he found that the challenger would enter half of the room first.

Half of the room is an office workshop.

The challengers temporarily have a limited number of mechanical tools and mechanical pedestals.

Each level will provide some materials and allow the challenger to choose one of three.

After selecting nine times in a row, use the selected materials to refine.

No matter what kind of mechanical creation is refined, it must cooperate with the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng to deal with the next test.

During the test, the other half of the room will be moved over and merged with the agency's workroom to form a complete room.

Sometimes, the other half of the room contains various obstacles and traps, which require the challenger to use spiritual mechanisms to get through.

Sometimes, the assembled room comes with a cage, in which is a living red-flame monster, which needs a spiritual mechanism to kill it.

Ning Zhuo passed seven tests in a row, but made a mistake on the eighth and was defeated directly.

There was no room for him to exit and come back in, so he was thrown out of the Lava Fairy Palace and his soul returned to his body.

Afterwards, Ning Zhuo kept thinking about it and gained a lot of insights.

"Just like what Boss Sun said before, the spiritual mechanism that Lava Fairy Palace refined for the trial disciples is a key."

"In the subsequent challenges, we will use the spiritual mechanism as a basis and carry out subsequent developments on it."

"Well, at least that's the way the Buddhist route works."

"After the second Buddhist gate, the level of materials provided by the level is obviously a level higher than before."

"According to this trend, the materials in subsequent levels should be better."

"The difficulty of the levels after the second Buddhist gate is much greater than before. The trial content is nearly ten times more. Since we haven't explored the bottom of it yet, we can't be sure how much more content there is."

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

"The battlefield of each test can be cleaned. Various traps, obstacles, puppets, and scarlet flame monsters are all new materials. They can be used to repair spiritual machines, make more mechanical accessories and parts, add to spiritual machines, and even directly create individual machines."

"The rest of the first Buddhist rewards can directly help this level."

"The rewards for the first gate, the Demon Gate, are not very helpful. Because during the entire test, I had no way to command Yuan Dasheng, and could only rely on Yuan Dasheng to attack on his own."

"From this point, we can also see that when you first pass through the Buddhist gate, the spiritual mechanism you refine is extremely important! The more spiritual you are, the more advantages you will have in clearing the subsequent levels."

"If other people want to get here, they will encounter much greater difficulties than me, and the energy and time they spend will definitely exceed mine."

"Oh, I almost forgot."

"I have closed both the Buddhist and Demonic gates."

"There's no way they could have gotten in."

Ning Zhuo thought about it and felt that there was still a flaw.

In the second transit hall, there are still members of the Demonic Sect and the Buddhist Sect.

Need him to cheat again and close it.

The main reason was that Ning Zhuo was caught off guard when he left the Immortal Palace this time. After failing to pass the level, he was thrown out directly.

"It's okay. Next time you have a chance, try to close the door first."

While Ning Zhuo was thinking about the level, the Ning family head and deputy head were discussing him.

"Ning Zhuo has made a great contribution this time." The head of the Ning family sighed.

Young clan leader Ning Xiaoren echoed, "This boy is indeed a mechanical seed, and his talent in mechanical engineering is amazing."

"It's just..." Ning Xiaoren changed the subject, "He took the initiative to tell me that he wanted to taste the Ice Jade Wine. This attitude made me feel bad."

The Ning family leader narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "Xiaoren, you have to be careful."

"This time, Ning Zhuo organized his men and acted alone without informing us."

"Among those who acted with him, there was not a single member of the main vein."

Ning Xiaoren took a deep breath and said, "Father, I also noticed that Ning Zhuo just raised his arm and called out, and these people gathered together and acted with him. Ning Zhuo's influence in the branch cannot be ignored!"

“Maybe he is only in the Qi Refining Stage now, but he has a reputation as a talented person and has been favored by countless family branches.”

"If you don't stop it when it's a young seedling, it will be too late to regret when it grows into a towering tree."

The Ning family leader nodded slowly: "Very good, you have such an understanding, it is worth my careful training of you for many years."

"Ning Zhuo is indeed a good candidate with great talent, but he is too young. Young people are always a bit unruly."

"He has crossed the line a bit. It's time to make him understand that the family comes first and the individual comes second."

"Let him know that there are some rules that must be followed."

"Go and give him a beating. Teach him well so that he can become a sharp blade for my main vein in the future."

"Yes, father. I'll take my leave now." Ning Xiaoren bowed, took a few steps back, then turned and left.
