However, when Zheng Shuanggou reported the specific number of spirit stones, Zhu Xuanji's expression changed.

He looked stunned, and his eyes expressed - are you serious?

Therefore, during the second discussion, because Zheng Shuanggou's offer was too high, the two sides failed to reach an agreement, so they could only say that they would go back and reconsider it, and agreed on a specific time for the third discussion.

"The cultivation families in these places..." Zhu Xuanji gritted his teeth secretly.

After the recruitment order, his pressure doubled.

More and more cultivators poured into Huoshixian City, and the City Lord's Mansion successfully "recruited" several Jindan cultivators with profound attainments in mechanical arts.

These Jindan monks entered the Lava Fairy Palace and worked closely with each other to catch up with Zhu Xuanji.

The gap between the two sides is narrowing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhu Xuanji knew very well that this was actually a trick of the Meng family. They used this method to attract reinforcements and help Meng Kui compete for the Lava Fairy Palace.

The Meng family needs the Lava Fairy Palace to get their hands on the entire Fire Persimmon Fairy City!

Zhu Xuanji's plan is to recall the lost Jindan mechanical puppet demon general.

Through the tracing back to the source, he saw that the Demon General's mechanism was lost deep inside the Huoshi Mountain. That was where the king's court of the Huorong Demon Ape Group was located. There was a Jindan-level Demon Ape King, and it was not ruled out that there were other Jindan-level Demon Apes.

In this situation, Zhu Xuanji alone would not be able to take down the puppet demon general.

Therefore, he discussed with the Zhou family, the Zheng family, and the Ning family to rely on the power of the five Jindan cultivators to go deep into the Huoshi Mountain, attack the lair of the Fire-Ronging Demon Ape, and take back the mechanical puppet demon general.

The first negotiation failed, and the second negotiation also suffered setbacks...

Zhu Xuanji was a divine detective. He pondered for a while and came to his senses: "The three golden elixirs are stalling for time."

"After all, going deep into Huoshi Mountain with me is risking your life."

"They want to confirm whether they still have a chance on another route. If the chance is high, they won't agree to take the risk with me."

"From this point of view, the renovation teams of the three companies must have made some big moves."

Zhou family.

Basement lobby.

All members of the three repair teams gathered together and listened carefully to the "Ghost Warrior Divine Weapon Training Technique" taught to them by Zheng Hua.

"Remember, practicing this technique will cut off 30% of your soul. During this period, you will experience extremely severe pain."

"My tribe has prepared some medicine for you. If you can't bear it, you can take one to relieve the pain."

“But I don’t recommend you do that.”

"Because the severe pain is a sign of the close connection between souls. Maintaining this connection will be very helpful for forging ghost weapons in the future."

"But if we swallow the elixir, this connection will be greatly weakened. Even if the ghost warrior is created, it will not be perfectly compatible with our body."

"Of course, you still have to take the medicine when you need to swallow it."

"If you faint from the pain, the consequences will be even more serious!"

Zheng Hua explained in detail and took out his own ghost weapon to show everyone.

Afterwards, he asked a monk from the Zheng family's reform team to cut up the soul in public, consume the soul power, and condense his own ghost weapon.

After everyone understood and mastered this special forging technique, some people began to forge weapons.

"Oh my God, it hurts!" The first person who tried it refused to take the medicine under the gaze of countless eyes.

Then, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Fortunately, Zheng Hua and others were watching closely and took action in advance when they saw that the trend was not good.

The monk who had fainted was quickly cured by them and his condition improved, and his life was not endangered by the backlash.

After seeing the real example and bloody lesson before their eyes, the other monks in the reform team all chose a conservative strategy.

If they really can't bear it anymore, they will just swallow the pills.

"Ah——!" Ning Yong screamed until his voice was hoarse, but he refused to take the pill.

On the contrary, after Ning Chen felt a little bit of the pain of his soul being separated, he immediately moved his throat and swallowed the pill under his tongue.

Ning Zhuo carefully pondered the essence of the idea but did not take any action.

He looked at the other geniuses.

Zheng Jian is a member of the Zheng family, and he had already used the Ghost Warrior Divine Weapon Training Technique. He demonstrated a bow and arrow Ghost Warrior in public.

Zhou Zhu and Zhou Zeshen practiced their skills one after another. Zhou Zhu groaned, while Zhou Zeshen frowned and his face twisted. The two of them held on and did not take the medicine.

Ning Xiaohui looked at Ning Zhuo and sneered, "How long are you going to wait? Are you scared, Ning Zhuo?"

Ning Zhuo smiled: "You are the main branch of the Ning family, and I am just a branch. Of course I have to let you go first. Otherwise, you will lose to me again, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the entire main branch?"

Despite being teased by Ning Zhuo, Ning Xiaohui burst into laughter this time.

She showed a ghost sword in public: "Open your dog eyes wide and look carefully, what is this!"

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zeshen's pupils shrank slightly, and he became more certain that the Ning family and the Zheng family were very close and had already cooperated in advance.

Ning Zhuo was slightly startled, then sneered: "You got the training tips ahead of time, but you only used them for yourself and forgot about all the other members of our repair team."

"You made it secretly and swallowed the elixir secretly, and no one knew about it. Great, you did a great job."

Ning Xiaohui was so angry that her face turned pale: "How dare you! You are just a branch, and you dare to slander the main branch at will."

Ning Zhuo: "Then you should prove to everyone that you did not secretly take drugs when you were practicing ghost martial arts."

Ning Xiaohui was about to refute, but Ning Xie finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Enough! There's no need to argue about this. Ning Zhuo, why don't you practice your skills?"

"Perhaps you need my help?"

Ning Zhuo laughed and stopped talking nonsense, and started practicing exercise techniques in front of everyone.

His body shook slightly, and 30% of his soul was cut off, causing him excruciating pain, but he just frowned on the surface, his eyes remained firm, without any wavering.

"I did it, I did it!"

"I wanted to make a sword, but I ended up with a knife."

Zheng Jian, Zheng Hua and others witnessed the results of various ghost martial arts training. Their expressions remained unchanged as they had expected it.

This technique requires cutting off 30% of the soul, and then consuming the soul power to condense and forge a ghost weapon.

If the cultivator's soul is not strong enough and his soul power is weak, the ghost warrior created will be much smaller than planned.

"Um?!"

"What's going on!"

"Ning Zhuo, you, this, this, this..."

Ning Zhuo had made great progress in his training, and a magical axe was floating in front of him.

The axe was so huge that it looked like it was taking down a door.

Such a huge ghost axe formed a sharp contrast with the miniature ghost weapons of the people around him.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Zheng Jian and Ning Xiaohui's ghost warriors were instantly outclassed. Their ghost warriors were only of normal size.

"Brother Zhuo is so awesome!" Ning Yong was the first to cheer.

Soon, the monks from the Ning family branch laughed and shouted, happy and congratulating Ning Zhu from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhou Zeshen looked at the normal-sized soul fan in his hand and couldn't help asking, "Brother Ning, why is your soul so powerful and vast?"

"Thanks to the contribution of the Soul Devouring Sect cultivators." Ning Zhuo did not speak his true feelings, but said, "I have only recently gradually realized that every time I explore the Immortal Palace, my soul is consumed. When the soul is fully restored, it seems that the total amount is a little more than before."

Everyone was speechless.

After a few breaths of silence, someone suddenly asked, "Brother Ning Zhuo, what exactly is your talent?"

"I don't know either." Ning Zhuo spread his hands.

The undetectable talent was his best and most convenient excuse!

Ning Xiaohui snorted coldly and turned her head away.

After obtaining Guiwu, Zheng Hua distributed various elixirs, which were mainly used to heal the soul or speed up the recovery of the soul.

Afterwards, under the guidance of another elder of the Zheng family, everyone actively practiced the use of ghost martial arts.

After that, it was the refining of mechanical technology, the practice of three major tactics, and so on.

After several days like this.

The renovation team has been completely transformed! Their combat power has improved by leaps and bounds!

The three family leaders urged the team again and again, and the repair team went to the Immortal Palace together without any rest.

Lava Fairy Palace.

The puppets came to the first door.

They lined up and received their clearance rewards in an orderly manner.

Everyone acted quickly and without thinking. This was because the options and quantities for receiving rewards had been discussed and determined long ago.

Room 1, Room 2, Room 3.

"No mechanical monkey was found!" everyone cheered.

They happily entered the first preparation room.

The monks had a clear division of labor, with Ning Zhuo and Zheng Jian in the lead, working hard to create all kinds of mechanical devices.

Room 4, Room 5, Room 6.

In the second preparation room, the monks bought higher-quality materials and made another part.

Room seven, room eight!

The Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng appeared.

"Finally I met him."

"Room 8 is much deeper than we thought."

"We will win this battle!"

The morale of the three companies is high.

Yuan Dasheng roared and rushed towards the crowd.

The three families joined forces and were on full alert, as if they were facing a formidable enemy! "Thunder Crossbow, shoot!" Zheng Jian shouted.

In the team, eight crossbow carts were activated instantly, and arrows covered in a layer of lightning shot out.

Eight lightning bolts shot out straight and hit the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng.

The Golden-Blooded War Ape Dasheng stopped moving as he was pierced by eight eight-foot-long arrows surrounded by lightning. The arrows were like spears, deeply embedded in the floor tiles, fixing Yuan Dasheng in place.

Yuan Dasheng struggled, but ended up being electrocuted by the strong electric current and twitching, with broken mechanical parts leaking out from the wounds on his body.

"Success!"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect it to be a one-hit kill."

"The Thunder Crossbow is really great. Even though it can only fire once, it's extremely powerful and worth every penny."

Everyone cheered.

"Quick, take down the mechanical monkey."

"Don't let the electric current damage the interior anymore. We need to collect more information!"

Several monks hurried forward.

Boom! (End of this chapter)
