Sun Lingtong's silence made Ning Zhuo feel a little awkward. He quickly changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me talk about something serious."

"Boss, I plan to devote all my energy to refining a monkey mechanism."

"Golden Core-level monkey mechanism!"

Even though Sun Lingtong had always strongly supported Ning Zhuo, when she heard the news, she felt that Ning Zhuo was a little too idealistic.

If a cultivator is at the foundation-building stage and wants to make a golden elixir-level item, there is only one level difference, so if he can do it, there is still a possibility of success.

But Ning Zhuo is only at the Qi Refining stage now, and to the outside world he can only show his cultivation level as the third level of Qi Refining.

Do you want to skip one level and refine a golden elixir-level mechanical creation?

"What do you use to refine it?" Sun Lingtong asked directly.

Ning Zhuo laughed and said, "Although my cultivation is a little low, there are people who can help me."

Sun Lingtong asked again: "Can you invite a Jindan cultivator?"

Ning Zhuo shrugged: "Please use the foundation-building stage to refine the golden elixir-level mechanism, which is also possible."

"I plan to ask the Zheng family to refine weapons, the Ning family to make talismans, and the Zhou family to set up the formation."

Sun Lingtong thought for a moment, and came to his senses: "Don't say it, don't say it."

He stared at Ning Zhuo with his big eyes: "With your current fame and connections, you can really accomplish this!"

"But if you ask others to help you, won't your mechanism drawings be leaked again?"

Ning Zhuo nodded: "I have thought about this as well."

"I will ask them to refine some mechanical parts and accessories."

"I personally refined the key components and kept them strictly confidential."

"Finally, I will install them myself and assemble them into a Jindan-level mechanical device!"

Sun Lingtong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized, "Indeed, this is a mechanism, not a magic tool, nor a weapon. It is not a whole and can be disassembled."

“It really works!”

Ning Zhuo added: "Besides that, the mechanical monkey I designed this time doesn't have any exquisite ingenuity."

“I’ll go with some classic structure.”

“The key is to stack the materials!”

"I will use almost all the Jindan-grade materials I have on hand to make this mechanical ape!"

Ning Zhuo now has a lot of golden elixir-level materials on hand.

One part was what Sun Lingtong had accumulated in the black market over the years, another part was the contribution from Qi Bai's storage bag, and the third part was what Ning Zhuo had recently obtained by blackmailing the head of the Ning family.

If there are still any materials missing, Ning Zhuo can also trade with the Zhou family, the Zheng family, or even secretly with Fei Si.

Today, he is no longer the marginal figure he once was.

Becoming the master of the black market and participating in the joint operations of the three parties has enabled him to leverage resources from multiple parties and use them for his own benefit.

Sun Lingtong: "After managing the black market for so many years, I have accumulated a lot of good materials."

"Take it out right away and refine the treasure for you."

"But how are you going to give it to other people to refine? Have you ever thought about it?"

Ning Zhuo said, "I've thought about it."

He took out the map, spread it out, and pointed to a certain location for Sun Lingtong.

"I plan to arrange things here and destroy the warehouse. I found a large amount of treasure in the secret room underground. I will announce it to the public and say that I found the place where your treasure was hidden. What do you think?"

Sun Lingtong asked some detailed questions and pondered for a while: "These clues and testimonies are arranged perfectly. However, you have suddenly gained such a huge amount of money. You must consume these treasures as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily lead to greed and covetousness."

"I understand, boss!" Ning Zhuo nodded heavily.

Sun Lingtong suddenly smiled.

Ning Zhuo looked up, puzzled: "Boss, what's wrong?"

Sun Lingtong stroked his chin and said, "I used to look down on righteous cultivators. I thought most of them were hypocritical."

"Now that I've seen you, I suddenly feel that being on the right path can be quite convenient sometimes."

Ning Zhuo laughed: "The right way doesn't need to be used to mess around."

“I think it’s just a positive attitude towards life.”

"Look, those demons are always fighting and killing each other, it's too risky, it's not good."

“I hope that people can get along with each other, seek common ground while reserving differences, and even if there are conflicts, they can tolerate and bear each other, coexist peacefully, and enjoy the beauty of spiritual practice.”

Ning Zhuo said it very seriously.

It was at this moment that Sun Lingtong noticed Ning Zhuo's naivety and realized that he was only a sixteen-year-old boy.

"So, have you found it?" Sun Lingtong asked.

Ning Zhuo: “Hmm?”

Sun Lingtong: "After you obtain the Lava Fairy Palace, have you ever thought about what your situation will be like? By that time, have you found a way to coexist peacefully with other people and other forces?"

"Uh..." Ning Zhuo fell into silence.

Sun Lingtong's expression turned serious: "Xiao Zhuo, I know you. With your personality, you always consider many things in advance."

"So, what do you think?"

Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly: "I'm trying..."

Sun Lingtong interrupted, "So, you used human lives to build up your own power. Do you want to use the power of your family to force all the forces in the Immortal City to recognize you as the master of the Immortal Palace?"

"hehe."

Sun Lingtong sneered: "You are too naive!"

"Even I know there's no way this is going to work."

"Whether it's the Ning family, the Zhou family, or the Zheng family, none of them have any reliable connections in the court of Nandou Kingdom."

"Lava Immortal Palace has such a valuable treasure, which is related to the suppression of Huoshi Mountain, the foundation and citizens of Huoshi Immortal City. Nandou Country will definitely not let you take charge of the Immortal Palace."

"Just like the recruitment order said, they will force you to give up the position of city lord and offer the Immortal Palace before they will stop!"

"Stop having unrealistic fantasies!"

"Now that you have embarked on this path, there is no turning back. You must kill decisively, otherwise you will hurt others and yourself."

"If at some point in the future you seize the Immortal Palace, immediately control it and leave here!"

"I know what you're worried about."

"The Fire Persimmon Immortal City's defense formation is OK. It can continue to suppress the volcano."

"The Nandou Kingdom will certainly make its best effort. After all, Huoshixian City has many foundations and countless citizens."

Sun Lingtong's words made Ning Zhuo fall into deep silence.

Sun Lingtong saw through Ning Zhuo's thoughts and plans and made the most correct reminder.

The next day.

I prefer a simple home.

In the underground practice chamber.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Ning Zhuo was wrapped in floating clouds, and he took out the Hebi Talisman with a solemn expression.

The Hebi Fu is a rectangular piece of paper with a yellow jade surface and a red border around the edge. In the center of the yellow paper is a long string of complicated talismans.

The talisman is like a dragon and a snake entwined, with three silver rings from top to bottom, representing the upper dantian sea of ​​spirit, the middle dantian sea of ​​qi, and the lower dantian sea of ​​essence.

There is a straight line between the rings, shining with golden light, like a sword or a bridge, running through the three rings.

Ning Zhuo calmed his mind and concentrated, holding the talisman between his fingers and placing it in front of himself.

He silently used his magic power and infused it into the talisman.

The talisman gradually glowed, and then the talisman paper spontaneously combusted and quickly disappeared.

Amidst a burst of fireworks, the light of the talisman quickly penetrated into the qi sea in Ning Zhuo's chest.

Ning Zhuo followed the same method and used two other talismans, directing their light to the dantian above the sea of ​​spirit between the eyebrows, and the dantian below the sea of ​​essence in the abdomen.

After the three talismans were blessed, they immediately responded to each other.

Ning Zhuo's three treasures of essence, energy and spirit each emitted an inexplicable aura, flowing slowly, entangling with each other, gradually blending into one, and finally penetrating into the other two dantians.

This situation lasted for a cup of tea before it gradually stopped.

"The Hebi Talisman...it's really effective!"

This kind of talisman is specially used to regulate the three fields. If a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining wants to break through his cultivation and reach the foundation-building stage, he must take this step.

Doing so can increase the success rate of breakthrough in cultivation.

"But when I practice the Three Sects' skills, I have to use the combined talisman before I reach the seventh level."

"A cultivator who specializes in cultivating one Dantian only needs to use one. I have to use three at a time!"

"But, to be honest, it is really useful."

Ning Zhuo felt it carefully and found that his three treasures of essence, energy and spirit were in resonance with each other, which was significantly different from before.

Before, it was like three people breathing, the breathing sounds were uneven, and they were three independent individuals. But now, the auras of the three treasures are integrated, advancing and retreating together, as if three sides are one.

To be on the safe side, Ning Zhuo used three more talismans to coordinate the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit to the extreme.

"It's time!"

Ning Zhuo showed a look of determination. He was doing three things at once and actually activated the three sects' skills at the same time.

Sea of ​​Gods——Mirror Table Spiritual Communication Technique!

Qi Hai——The Secret of the Five Elements Qi Law!

Jinghai——Devil-stained blood muscle skill!

The three techniques were activated at the same time. He was originally at the peak of the sixth level of cultivation. At this moment, they came to fruition and broke through together, officially entering the seventh level.

Three seas and seven!

Ning Zhuo officially entered the late stage of Qi Refining.

Moreover, because of the skills of the three sects, his overall strength is far beyond that of the cultivators of the same level.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit has been paying attention to Ning Zhuo.

Seeing this scene, the palace spirit's face became extremely solemn.

This little monster!

He has both natural talent and abundant mechanical attainments and creative talent.

Carrying the most precious treasure of the Immortal Palace - the Buddha's Heart Demon Seal!

He had mastered the complete magical power in the middle stage of Qi Refining—the ability to hold life by the thread! Now, he has even advanced to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Fast, too fast! Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was filled with emotion, amazement, and a hint of panic.

It looked at Meng Chong again.

Meng Chong was also practicing madly in the secret practice room.

There were flashes of lightning all over his body, and it was obvious that he was using his immortal energy to speed up the refinement of his magic power.

"I've made a breakthrough!" He suddenly opened his eyes, "Hahaha, I've reached the fourth level of Qi Refining."

As soon as he walked out of the secret training room, he won countless compliments.

People all praised Mengchong.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was so anxious that he kept grinding his teeth and scratching with his dragon claws. He wanted to run to these people's ears and roar at them: "You bunch of fools!"

"Someone has already reached the seventh level. The seventh level!!"

"You think you are number one and leading?"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was extremely angry, and at the same time, he felt a growing sense of frustration.

It is bound, it is not free! It cannot reveal any information about the trial disciples, its authority is too limited.

As the only clear-sighted spirit that could see through the whole situation, it watched Ning Zhuo approach it step by step, and continued to approach it. It began to feel fear! "Don't come over, don't come over."

"Hurry up and find him, hurry up and find this person who hides the deepest!"
