"The three companies joined forces... and failed." Zhou Nongying sighed.

Zheng Danlian looked at the ancestor of the Ning family.

The jade slip clearly stated that the key reason for the failure of the three families' joint exploration of the Immortal Palace was that Ning Xiaohui actually fought in public! The nature of this behavior was too bad.

The Ning family ancestor seemed to be completely unaware of this gaze: "Even if we win this battle, we can see how difficult it is to explore the Lava Fairy Palace."

"It's not that easy for the soul to enter the Immortal Palace."

This analysis touched the hearts of the others.

Even though they lost with regret, the Jindan ancestors of the three families all saw the improvement in the combat power of Yuan Dasheng and Qi Bai.

In this battle, the materials of the two mechanical creations were obviously a level higher than before. In addition, they also used a variety of novel mechanical parts. The self-destructing monkey mechanism, the wind and fire wheels, the mechanical ropes that captured Ning Xie, etc., all achieved obvious combat results and should not be underestimated.

The three golden elixirs naturally gathered such improvements in the Lava Fairy Palace and attributed them to the special arrangements of the three sects' masters.

They would never have thought that there was a mastermind behind all this! "Even if the young Qi-refining people from the three families regrouped and achieved good results, they would not be able to be unstoppable."

"The route for the soul to enter the Immortal Palace is still difficult."

"Meng Chong has immortal talent, and the City Lord's Mansion's renovation team dominates the rankings. It's difficult for our renovation team to defeat such an opponent!"

The Jindan ancestors communicated secretly with their spiritual consciousness for a while and gradually reached a consensus.

That is: move together, cooperate with Zhu Xuanji, go deep into Huoshi Mountain, and take back the Demon General Agency! From the perspective of the three families, they would rather see Zhu Xuanji finally get the Immortal Palace, rather than Meng Kui.

If Meng Kui obtains the Immortal Palace, the Meng family will move into the Immortal City in large numbers, greatly squeezing the living space of the three families.

And if it is given to Zhu Xuanji, once Zhu Xuanji finally wins, then the three families will have made contributions to the royal family, which will definitely be more conducive to consolidating the status of the three families in Huoshi Xiancheng!

Zheng Shuanggou said: "My fellow Taoists, if you want to go deep into the volcano, you will risk your life."

"Before taking action, our clan urgently needs to forge that mechanical weapon!"

The other Jindan were slightly stunned, and then nodded at the same time.

In the early years of the Zheng family, they obtained a mechanical blueprint in the Lava Fairy Palace. According to the blueprint, the Zheng family spent a huge amount of money to secretly refine a mechanical weapon.

This weapon is extremely powerful and has brought great help to the Zheng family even before it was completed.

Before, the four golden elixirs of the Zheng and Zhou families had a bet, and the two immortals of the Zheng family entered the Night Star Sky Silk Formation, relying on the advantage of this weapon to break through the formation successfully.

The Zhou family's dual cultivation of Jindan thus learned about this weapon.

The Zheng family took the initiative to trade the Nine Yang Yellow Ointment and gained the approval of the Zhou family for dual cultivation. The latter two agreed to help the Zheng family complete the subsequent forging of the mechanical weapons.

But the Zhou family's formation methods alone are not enough.

Afterwards, the Zheng family consciously approached the Ning family, hoping that the Ning family would provide powerful extreme cold quenching methods to help refine this mechanical weapon.

As a result, the Zheng family and the Ning family became very close and secretly exchanged many interests.

For example, Zheng Jian obtained the Bingxin Talisman, and Ning Xiaohui, under the personal guidance of the Zheng family cultivator, refined the Ghost Warrior.

Therefore, the ancestor of the Ning family also knew about this mechanical weapon and had seen the mechanical drawings.

"If this thing can be refined, it will indeed be very helpful!" Zhou Nongying was quite impressed by the mechanical weapon.

The Ning family's ancestor frowned secretly.

To be honest, he didn't want to see the Zheng family master such a powerful weapon.

In his dealings with Zheng's Jindan, he spotted the Zheng's intention and secured many benefits for the Ning family.

The Ning family's ancestor's plan was to use this mechanical weapon to whet the Zheng family's appetite.

But now, with the exploration of Fire Persimmon Mountain imminent, the Ning family's ancestor also feels a sense of crisis. The Zheng family's creation of this item will indeed help ensure everyone's survival.

The Ning family's ancestor frowned, shook his head and sighed, saying that if he used extreme cold methods, it would hurt himself and greatly affect his combat effectiveness.

Unwilling to assist in quenching before going deep into Huoshi Mountain.

He would rather find an opportunity to help the Zheng family after the trip to Huoshi Mountain.

Zheng Danlian and Zheng Shuanggou looked at each other and saw each other's determination.

The Ning family ancestor's evasion of responsibility was also within their expectations.

It doesn't matter! The Zheng family has its own way of forcing the Ning family's ancestor to submit.

This method is - Zhu Xuanji.

The Zheng family's two cultivators found Zhu Xuanji and expressed that they had changed their minds. In order to enter Huoshi Mountain, they had to refine a mechanical weapon.

This mechanical weapon requires the Ning family ancestor's extreme cold methods to serve as a quenching method.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuanji immediately expressed his willingness to help. He quickly found the Ning family's ancestor. After a secret conversation, the Ning family's ancestor had to agree under pressure from the royal family.

Ning Zhuo came to the clan leader's residence and met the head of the Ning family.

"I am Ning Zhuo, a member of the family branch, and I am here to pay my respects to the clan leader!" Ning Zhuo bowed with perfect courtesy, but his tone was flat and distant.

The head of the Ning family put on a smile and waved to Ning Zhuo: "Come, Xiao Zhuo, sit here. Don't stand."

Ning Zhuo said expressionlessly: "Master Patriarch, if you have something to say, please tell me directly. I still have some black market affairs to deal with."

"Haha. I know, I know you're a busy man." The Ning family patriarch laughed a few times and said in a warm tone, "I invited you here mainly for Ning Xiaohui's matter."

"You also know..."

Ning Zhuo interrupted immediately: "Ning Xiaohui hurt me! Is the clan leader going to speak for her?!"

"It's not a frame-up, it's not a frame-up." The Ning family leader denied it repeatedly, "We are all family, how can we talk about frame-up?!"

"Ning Xiaohui was just too young. At the critical moment, she couldn't handle the pressure and made a mistake."

Ning Zhuo sneered: "Since you think so, I have nothing to say."

"only……"

"Do you really think so? Are you deceiving yourself?"

"Do all the elders of the Ning family think so? Or do most people think so?"

The Ning family head's smile grew even stronger. "So, I specifically invited you here this time because I want you to come forward and clarify this matter. All remuneration can be negotiated!"

Ning Zhuo was slightly stunned, then his eyes lit up: "Oh?"

After a moment, he left the patriarch's study with satisfaction.

When it was confirmed that Ning Zhuo had left, the sound of something being smashed was heard in the patriarch's study.

The sound lasted for a long time before gradually stopping.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Ning Zhuo secretly came to the underground base and met with Sun Lingtong in secret.

Sun Lingtong was very happy to see Ning Zhuo. She jumped, hugged Ning Zhuo's shoulders and patted him hard.

"Brother, you are here!"

Although the two had met many times in the Lava Fairy Palace, the number of times they actually met in person could be counted on one hand.

Sun Lingtong stayed in the secret underground base all day long and didn't see any outsiders, which made him feel suffocated.

Sun Lingtong was naturally very happy to see his dear little brother.

What made him even happier was that the two brothers were checking out the biggest trophy of this battle - the ghost cultivator Ning Xie! Ning Xie was surrounded by more than a dozen talismans, sealing him tightly and making him motionless.

"Boss, how do we deal with him? Do you have any good ideas?" Ning Zhuo asked.

Sun Lingtong shook his head: "If Qi Bai has the means to refine the soul, let him refine it."

"But now, its spirituality has dropped to 56%. This is simply impossible."

Sun Lingtong looked up and sighed.

Before the war, Sun Lingtong risked his life to open Qi Bai's storage bag, and used the Cremation Prajna Sutra to burn Qi Bai's personal belongings, helping the Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai regain a large amount of spirituality.

Its spirituality once reached as high as 92%.

But after the battle just now, Qi Bai's spiritual power dropped sharply, falling to 56% now.

Originally, Ning Xie possessed the natural snow soul and icy spirit, and was also a ghost cultivator, which made him very suitable for transformation into a ghost general.

The ghost general under Qi Bai's control during his lifetime had suppressed Ning Zhuo and left a deep impression on the latter.

However, if the Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai is to be able to regain the ability to refine his soul, this will only be possible after it has passed the spiritual stage and developed a strong spiritual intelligence.

This pace is too slow!

Sun Lingtong hopes to use him to increase her own strength now.

Ning Zhuo understood: "So, we will refine him into a mechanical component?"

"Yeah!" Sun Lingtong nodded repeatedly.

The Ning family is not a big sect like the Soul-Devouring Sect or the Bukong Sect, and the mark left on the family members is not enough to mark the murderer.

This allowed Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong to deal with their enemy Ning Xie as they pleased.

Without hesitation, the two opened the furnace and threw Ning Xie into it.

Afterwards, the two of them simultaneously activated the Cremation Prajna Sutra and worked together to light the furnace, giving Ning Xie true peace after death.

"It's too hot, too hot." Sun Lingtong finished refining and let the furnace cool down.

He used his small palms as a fan, fanning his red, sweaty cheeks.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, he took out the Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai, and called out to Ning Zhuo: "Xiao Zhuo, come this way."

In a recent battle, Qi Bai wiped out many members of the reform team and used the soul-devouring technique many times.

"Boss, you come first!" Ning Zhuo quickly came to Sun Lingtong's side.

Sun Lingtong was no longer polite and controlled Qi Bai, infusing himself with a large amount of soul essence.

"Comfortable, so comfortable!" Sun Lingtong closed her eyes, unable to contain her joy.

"Xiao Zhuo, come here, you come." He absorbed half of the soul essence and gave his seat to Ning Zhuo.

Afterwards, Ning Zhuo also gained nourishment from the soul essence.

With more than a hundred times the soul power, they are striding towards the 200 mark! The two of them took all the soul essences and became a hundred times more energetic.

After the furnace cooled completely, the two men opened it and took out a mechanical ball the size of a millstone.

The surface of the sphere is covered with a layer of colored glaze, and the center line of the cover is a circle of blue crystal strips, like a blue belt.

There is a round blue crystal at the upper and lower poles of the ball cover.

The white gas in the cover kept churning, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting.

The mechanical ball floated in the air, emitting a slight chill.

Spirituality is 36%.
