The clouds are deep and floating, and Ning Zhuo is practicing in silence.

Sometimes he was surrounded by five colors and his breath fluctuated, sometimes his essence and blood flourished and he looked like a demonic being, and sometimes he looked solemn and majestic with Buddha's light on his face.

After trying out the three techniques, he gained a more intuitive and profound understanding of the subsequent techniques from the seventh to the ninth levels.

"These three techniques all retain their greatest advantage—fast training speed."

"But if we really want to practice according to the original method, the time required for practice will be at least three times longer than the total time before!"

This is because the seventh to ninth levels of skills have a new advantage - solidity.

Whether it is spiritual thoughts, magic power or blood essence, they are much more powerful than those obtained through ordinary practice of martial arts.

Although the advantage of cultivation speed is maintained, the total amount of standards cultivated is three times higher, so the cultivation time is suddenly extended by three times.

And there was another thing that made Ning Zhuo frown slightly.

"Starting from the seventh level, these three techniques began to interact with each other."

"It's fine for small realms, but it's really troublesome that the big realms must advance and retreat in unison."

That is to say, the three skills must enter the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels at the same time. However, one can be in the early seventh level, another in the middle seventh level, and the third at the peak seventh level.

Before, Ning Zhuo had shown a Divine Sea cultivation level as high as the sixth level, and the other two skills were both at the fifth level.

This kind of situation will never occur in the subsequent exercises from the seventh to the ninth level.

According to the practice method, once this situation occurs, it will greatly affect the possibility of successfully building the foundation.

Ning Zhuo knew the reason.

"Because this involves the unification of Mita!"

As mentioned before, after the Qi Refining Stage comes the Foundation Building Stage. There are three main paths of cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage, namely the Upper Dantian Sea of ​​Spirit, the Middle Dantian Sea of ​​Qi, and the Lower Dantian Sea of ​​Essence.

For most exercises, they focus on one Dantian, so there is no concern in this regard.

But for excellent or top-level exercises, they specialize in more than one dantian, and often involve two dantians.

No matter which two Dantians they are, they all involve unity, such as the harmony of spirit and energy, the unity of spirit, and the harmony of essence and energy.

When it comes to Master Sanzong, he has to do even more - the unity of the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit!

This kind of unity does not mean merging the three dantians into one, but unifying their auras and making them into one, thus truly opening up the path to the foundation-building stage.

Without this unity, Ning Zhuo's practice of these three techniques would be like practicing three incompatible techniques at random.

When it comes to the foundation-building stage, failure is inevitable.

The three Dantians all have cultivation capabilities. As long as there is a little disharmony and the primary and secondary are not distinguished, a violent conflict will occur, leading to failure in the foundation-building stage, and the three Dantians will collide with each other and be damaged. At the least, it will affect the foundation of cultivation, and the genius will fall into waste. At the worst, there will be a life-threatening situation.

This is the main reason why practitioners of the three dantians are still very rare in today's developed world of cultivation.

Ning Zhuo summarized it as follows: When the three sects' skills reach the later stage of Qi Refining, the advantage of training speed is maintained, but the time is extended three times, and the three skills must advance and retreat together.

He immediately thought of the difficulty.

"In this way, my sea of ​​​​divine power cannot improve too quickly."

"We must also take into account the progress of the cultivation of the other two fields."

"Fortunately, the minor realms can be inconsistent. I can still use the Ice Jade Wine to improve my Qi Sea cultivation."

"The question is what to do with Jinghai's practice?"

Ning Zhuo's cultivation in the sea of ​​​​essence has always been the slowest.

It’s not that he has no talent in this area, nor is he really slow, but it’s equivalent to the Shenhai that is progressing rapidly, the Qi Sea that is being promoted, and the Jinghai has always been the last one.

Before, this wasn't a problem.

But now according to the late-stage techniques of the three sects, this is Ning Zhuo's biggest shortcoming in his practice.

"The subsequent skills were obtained, but new problems also emerged."

Ning Zhuo only studied the later contents of the Mirror Table Spiritual Communication Technique for a few times, and he felt that his sea of ​​​​consciousness was booming, with a tendency to cross to the seventh level. He was so scared that he quickly dismissed all related thoughts in his sea of ​​​​consciousness.

His Qi Sea cultivation also reached the peak of the sixth level.

Only his sea of ​​​​essence cultivation is still lagging behind.

"We must do our utmost to improve our sea of ​​​​essence!"

Most of those who have studied the sea of ​​​​essence are engaged in the magic arts.

Ning Zhuo has not had much experience in this area.

His knowledge mainly came from the Ning family's public library, and his knowledge of mechanical engineering basically came from the classics left by his mother.

Although he had been collecting intelligence in the black market for many years, he also paid attention to collecting classics.

However, the cultivation techniques and spells that have been sold in this market are of low quality (Huoshi Xiancheng is a new city after all). Unless you find a bargain or go to some auctions, it is difficult to buy high-quality techniques.

The magic skills are officially cracked down and banned, and it is difficult to purchase them from the regular market.

Before the age of sixteen, Ning Zhuo always believed in the right path of development and did not have much desire for magic.

He also hadn't thought about the fact that the Lava Fairy Palace's skills were a combination of three practices.

This made his accumulation of preparations in magic skills seriously inconsistent with actual needs.

Fortunately, he has an older brother who comes from a major evil sect.

Ning Zhuo asked Sun Lingtong about this matter.

Sun Lingtong gave a direct answer: "This is very simple."

"It is actually the easiest to improve your blood essence."

"But Xiaozhu, you definitely can't do it."

Sun Lingtong gave the answer, which made Ning Zhuo's face change slightly. He immediately shook his head: "I can't do it, I can't do it!"

The method given by Sun Lingtong is very simple, that is, relatives from the same clan have the same blood.

The terrifying demon cultivator slaughtered his relatives for his own benefit in exchange for a rapid progress in cultivation.

The key is, as long as the magic cultivator pays attention to refining and purification, this method really has no side effects!

Ning Zhuo was unwilling to give in: "Boss Sun, besides this, what other methods are there?"

Sun Lingtong did propose several plans, but they all had extremely high thresholds or were not enough to quench one's thirst.

What should I do?

Ning Zhuo had no choice but to concentrate on cultivating his Essence Sea while collecting relevant information to see if there was such an opportunity in the outside world.

Sun Lingtong comforted him: "Your situation is not a bottleneck, you are still moving forward steadily. This is obviously the normal speed of cultivation, but you are not satisfied."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Ning Zhuo sighed and told Sun Lingtong about his concerns.

The Huoshi Immortal City has begun to become crowded, with outsiders constantly being attracted by the recruitment order and coming here to try to explore the fairy palace.

Ning Zhuo felt the pressure increasing day by day.

He must go all out, race against time, and do his best to increase the possibility of capturing Asgard.

He would never forgive himself if he slacked off even a little.

"Alas, I have been too tense." Sun Lingtong sighed in his heart, but did not comfort him.

Because he knew very well the significance of Lava Fairy Palace to Ning Zhuo's life.

He also knew that any persuasion was meaningless. Helping Ning Zhuo with all his strength was the most meaningful help he could bring.

This is why Sun Lingtong took the risk of staying in Huoshi Xiancheng even though he was wanted.

He always hid in the underground base, moving every once in a while. According to his personality, this kind of life was more torturous than being in prison.

But Sun Lingtong endured it all because he wanted to get closer to Ning Zhuo and see if there was anything he could do to help his younger brother.

He didn't know yet that his situation was even more dangerous than Ning Zhuo's - he had been targeted by two Jindan masters, Luo Shang from the Soul Devouring Sect and Yang Chanyu from the Bukong Sect.

When he rotates to the previous underground base, he will fall into the enemy's trap.

Ningzhuo Courtyard.

"Okay, this mechanical fire monkey is of high quality. I'll buy it." Ning Zhuo took out money and bought a mechanical monkey.

Recently, the number of times he has done this has increased significantly.

"Well, you made the jet tube yourself based on the diagram of the mechanism of the Lava Fairy Palace?"

After receiving a positive response, Ning Zhuo also bought this jet machine barrel as an encouragement.

After Ning Xiaohui withdrew from the renovation team, the remaining main line members were already few in number and now lacked a backbone, so they were completely not a concern.

Ning Zhuo has the final say over the Ning family's renovation team.

Ning Zhuo took the initiative to arrange for the repair team to go to various mechanism workshops to accumulate knowledge of mechanical engineering.

After a period of fermentation, the effect was visibly outstanding! This made Ning Zhuo wonder if the Ning family was originally a family that focused on mechanical arts, and now they were focusing on ice and snow skills, had they gone astray?

A former deacon in the foundation-building stage cleared up his confusion.

This former deacon had been involved in the selection of high-level personnel.

Ning Zhuo then understood that the members of the renovation team were not chosen at random, but were specially selected from a huge base by the top management of the Ning family who had spent a lot of time and effort to select people who were suitable for mechanical engineering.

"The more people in the family, the more talents suitable for practicing different cultivation techniques there will be."

"From the perspective of the family, more people is better. The more the better."

The Ning family's carefully selected personnel have now fallen into Ning Zhuo's pocket and are being used by him.

The black market that Sun Lingtong once owned was also controlled by Ning Zhuo, and the profits soared wildly.

Everything has its pros and cons. Many outsiders flocked to the fairy city, bringing him huge competitive pressure, but also brought more transactions and more income.

Ning Zhuo had more and more money in his hands, accumulating rapidly at an unprecedented rate, even though he was always spending.

When he went to the Salesian Orphanage to donate, he donated a larger amount of spiritual stones than he had previously planned.

The proportion of salaries given to Ning family's foundation-building subordinates in total revenue is rapidly declining.

Ning Zhuo also invested a large sum of money to secretly collect intelligence.

A lot of information has been collected about accelerating the practice of magic skills, but it is basically unreliable.

Ning Zhuo has developed a keen sense of intelligence over more than ten years. For a lot of information, he can roughly estimate how much of it is a rumor just by taking a glance at it.

A lot of intelligence and clues were collected, but most of them were just rumors and had little value.

The vast majority of answers are what Sun Lingtong mentioned - start with relatives.

"Because it involves the magic sect's skills and is related to the Lava Immortal Palace, I can't start from the formal channels, nor can I seek help from the three major families."

"The current situation is not so bad. If my Jinghai cultivation is promoted to the seventh level, the time will be extended by three times, which will be even more unbearable!"

Ning Zhuo pondered for many days.

On this day, he suddenly had a wonderful inspiration and made a gratifying breakthrough -

"Wait, I can let the mechanical puppet practice for me!"
