Underground secret base.

A huge blood-transforming pool, like a coffin, was hung on the ceiling of the room.

A thick metal pipe extends from the blood-transforming pool.

The pipe is connected to a huge blood oil bottle, which is filled with turbid blood essence and is black and red in color.

And five or six pipes extended from the bottom of the blood oil bottle.

The tubes were eventually inserted into the back of a robotic ape.

In the mechanical monkey, Yuan Dasheng's spirit is using all his strength to perform the ninth level of the Magic Blood-stained Tendon Technique!

The blood essence was infused from the blood oil bottle and continuously infused into Yuan Dasheng's mechanical body. Then, under the operation of the magic dyed blood tendon skill, it became the magic dyed blood essence.

Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged opposite Yuan Dasheng.

Between him and Yuan Dasheng, and around him, was a simple and slightly sloppy magic circle.

The magic circle emitted a faint red light and a faint smell of blood.

The nine levels of devilish blood essence cultivated by Yuan Dasheng were purified through this magic array and finally entered Ning Zhuo's body.

Ning Zhuo then used the seventh level of the Demonic Blood Tendon Technique to continue the transformation. In this process, he eliminated the blood essence that was not suitable for himself and continuously accumulated his sea of ​​​​essence.

Often out of ten portions of demonic blood, only two to three portions can be used by Ning Zhuo in the end.

But by doing this, Ning Zhuo didn't have to practice self-cultivation at all, which saved him a lot of time.

Moreover, as long as the scale is large enough, theoretically speaking, the speed of his sea of ​​​​essence cultivation will be extremely exaggerated! "It's really good to have tribesmen."

"How can I expand the number of my tribe members so that I can obtain more flesh and blood?"

Ning Zhuo has been thinking about this problem.

After tasting the huge sweetness, he found it difficult to extricate himself.

But he did not lose his mind.

He was very clear: his large-scale public purchase of the flesh and blood of his people was already in a very gray area. If he took one more step forward, he would be suspected of practicing magic.

He has been too much in the spotlight recently, which goes against his principle of keeping a low profile.

Now, many people are watching him, waiting for him to make a mistake.

Before, he purchased the blood and flesh of his tribesmen on a large scale, which was like trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire, and was extremely risky. Although he announced it to the public in the name of "developing puppet mechanisms."

After hearing about Ning Zhuo's move, Ning Houjun and Ning Youfu, the two former elders of the branch, sent people or letters to remind Ning Zhuo to pay great attention to his reputation and not to expand the scale any further.

If it gets bigger, it will be very easy for people to falsely accuse him and find fault with him, ruining Ning Zhuo's reputation.

And reputation is extremely important to a righteous monk!

Suddenly, the mechanical monkey's left arm made a muffled sound, and then it broke off at the arm.

Then, as if a chain reaction had been triggered, mechanical fragments appeared on the shoulders, chest, abdomen, etc. of the mechanical monkey.

A large amount of blood and essence gushed out.

Amid the raging blood, the mechanical monkey could not bear the weight and broke into pieces.

Ning Zhuo frowned.

He was neither surprised nor sad. After all, the mechanical monkey was a typical shoddy product.

However, this is already the one hundred and thirty-second one.

The broken body fragments had piled up into a small hill.

Ning Zhuo looked up at the roof beams of the house.

The two mechanical creations, the giant blood-transforming pool and the blood oil bottle hanging there, also showed fine lines and signs of collapse.

"It's time to build a mechanical monkey." Ning Zhuoxin thought.

Before, he and Sun Lingtong worked together on it in a rough way, mainly to break through to the seventh level as quickly as possible.

After reaching the seventh level, Ning Zhuo's cultivation of the three treasures of spirit, energy and soul broke through the shackles and could continue to rise.

Now that Ning Zhuo has reached the seventh level of cultivation, he needs to focus on the future.

On the one hand, he needs a Jindan-level mechanical monkey to fully tap the value of Yuan Dasheng's spirituality. On the other hand, he also needs a mechanical monkey that produces higher quality essence and blood.

The combination of the two made Ning Zhuo determined to start immediately and refine a new mechanical body for Yuan Dasheng.

He took the initiative to approach Zheng Jian and invited him to jointly forge a mechanical monkey.

Zheng Jian was very surprised.

The last time, he worked with Ning Zhuo and learned a lot of knowledge about mechanisms. He was quite impressed by Ning Zhuo's attainments in mechanisms.

"I wonder what brilliant ideas Brother Ning has come up with this time?" Zheng Jian asked Ning Zhuo for advice.

Ning Zhuo shook his head: "I may disappoint Brother Zheng, but the mechanism I refined this time is different from the last time..."

After he explained, Zheng Jian looked disappointed.

It turned out that Ning Zhuo did not intend to publish the design drawings of the mechanism, but just wanted to refine high-quality materials, which required the help of the Zheng family and Zheng Jian for refining.

Zheng Jian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. He felt that based on his friendship with Ning Zhuo, he could help Ning Zhuo refine the materials.

Ning Zhuo took out the Chiyang Copper.

Zheng Jian was surprised.

"This kind of Jindan-level copper material requires extremely high firepower to melt."

"No wonder Brother Ning came to see me."

"It's just that I'm only in the Qi Refining Stage. Brother Ning thinks too highly of me."

Ning Zhuo said: We can ask other cultivators from the Zheng family to do this job.

Zheng Jian nodded and said, "As long as Brother Ning can afford the price, based on our friendship, I will definitely be able to help you hire a good fighter from our clan!"

"The price is negotiable." Ning Zhuo seemed very straightforward.

Zheng Jian invited a skilled fighter from his clan to offer a high price.

Ning Zhuo smiled and bargained, "What if I want to refine more than just Red Sun Copper?"

He took out the second batch of materials.

"Although it is a Jindan-grade material, it consumes too much manpower."

"I don't have much time to take on private work. There are still many important tasks in the clan that weigh on my shoulders."

Ning Zhuo took out the third set of materials.

This time, the Zheng family's weapon-refining expert simply shook his head, indicating that he couldn't do it.

“Unless it is at the Jindan stage, it can be refined directly.”

"I am only in the foundation-building stage. I need the help of a top-level refining room to have a hope of melting it."

"But currently, the Tianzi Refining Room has been occupied."

Ning Zhuo then asked how long it would take.

"It's hard to say. I advise you not to expect too much." Zheng's expert was very frank.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Not long after Ning Zhuo left the Zheng family, he contacted Zhou Zeshen again.

Zhou Zeshen praised: "Brother Ning is really bold. He has touched upon the Golden Core-level mechanical creations at the Qi Refining Stage. What a big deal! Incredible, incredible!"

"I am willing to help you with all my strength!"

As a result, when Ning Zhuo mentioned the specific requirements, Zhou Zeshen expressed that he was quite embarrassed.

"Brother Ning, you want to set up a formation on these golden elixir-level materials, and such a huge and dense formation. I, Zhou Zeshen, can't do it."

"My family's foundation-building cultivators can barely do it, but it requires a large number of people to work together."

“Otherwise, the construction period will be delayed for a long time.”

Ning Zhuo calculated that the Zhou family's unit price of remuneration was very high. No matter how many people there were, this remuneration would make Ning Zhuo feel quite struggling.

Instead, Ning Zhuo summoned his former deacons and assigned them the task of making talismans, and received good feedback.

These elite foundation-building cultivators of the Ning family all expressed that they could refine various martial arts talismans for Ning Zhuo free of charge.

But how could Ning Zhuo agree?

The spirit stones saved are not important.

Ning Zhuo didn't want to take the lead in breaking his own rules and the team atmosphere he had worked so hard to create.

The money paid to his subordinates was far more valuable than the money paid to the Zheng family and the Zhou family! After comprehensive calculations, Ning Zhuo found that if he paid with spirit stones, he could not even reach one-third of the project volume.

"It's not that the Zhou and Zheng families are intentionally raising the price. In fact, their prices are quite fair compared to the market."

When the materials reached the Jindan level, the funds accumulated by Ning Zhuo immediately seemed much shallower!

His idea of ​​using the power of all parties to jointly refine the mechanism is a good one, but when it comes to implementation, he will find many difficulties.

After thinking about it for a while, Ning Zhuo came up with a solution.

"It's time to reveal Meng Chong's intelligence!"

Ning Zhuo secretly "leaked" to the three major families through the Guixi Gang the news that Meng Chong had successfully passed the test and obtained the fourth to sixth level martial arts techniques.

Zhou Zeshen exclaimed: "Meng Chong is really powerful! The City Lord's Mansion is far ahead!"

Zheng Jian clenched his fists and said, "I must obtain the subsequent skills. It is too uncomfortable to be stuck at the third level."

The Ning family head discussed with many elders: "The Five Elements Qi Law was left by the three masters, and it has great potential. Its subsequent skills are a big deal for our clan."

The elders discussed among themselves, "Who can take on this important task?"

"Ning Xiaohui has already left the renovation team."

After only a brief discussion, the name Ning Zhuo appeared in the minds of the Ning family elders.

If the Ning family wants to acquire the subsequent skills on their own, it seems, as if, should... they can only rely on Ning Zhuo!

The elders continued to discuss: "Although I personally hate him, I have to admit that Ning Zhuo is capable."

"The key point is, with Ning Zhuo's personality, even if he obtains the subsequent skills, will he hand them over to the family?"

When the elders reached this point in their discussion, they looked at each other in bewilderment and fell silent.

After a long time, someone broke the silence and looked at the head of the Ning family: "Ning Zhuo loves money, please communicate with him more."

The head of the Ning family nodded with a grim expression. His head began to hurt just thinking of Ning Zhuo.

There are two routes to explore the Lava Fairy Palace. Entering the Fairy Palace physically can exchange merits for various cultivation resources. Entering the Fairy Palace with your soul will be tested by many levels, but you can obtain the subsequent skills of the Five Elements Qi Law.

This is a reward that those who enter the Immortal Palace cannot obtain.

In the arrangement of the three masters, the body entering the Immortal Palace is for outsiders and guests, while the soul entering the Immortal Palace is for training one's own people, and the true secrets will not be announced to outsiders.

For the three families, they have studied the Five Elements Qi Law in depth, and even though they only have three levels, they have found that this practice is extremely excellent. Their desire for subsequent practices has always been there, quietly accumulating.

And this desire was discovered by Ning Zhuo, who was controlling the "puppet strings".

There was no need for Ning Zhuo to look for them again, as Zhou Zeshen and Zheng Jian came to him one after another.

They didn't know how many levels they had to pass to get the rewards for the skills.

But they knew that Ning Zhuo was very powerful and had a huge conflict with the main branch of the Ning family.

If they could invite Ning Zhuo to help, it would be very beneficial for them to explore the Immortal Palace itself. And strengthening the relationship with Ning Zhuo and helping Ning Zhuo would be conducive to the second civil war of the Ning family.

This achieved multiple goals at once, and the Zhou and Zheng families, who had ulterior motives, became more enthusiastic and took the initiative to lower the price for Ning Zhuo!

The problem that had been bothering Ning Zhuo was thus solved.

The head of the Ning family was furious when he learned about Ning Zhuo's cooperation with the Zhou and Zheng families.

Many people wanted to use this as an excuse to exaggerate that he colluded with outsiders, disregarded the interests of the family itself, and wantonly destroyed Ning Zhuo's family reputation.

As a result, he was dissuaded.

The head of the Ning family pinched his nose and took the initiative to summon Ning Zhuo again.

Ning Zhuo went there happily.

After returning, the sound of something being smashed was heard again in the study of the head of the Ning family.
