From his appearance, it could be seen that his previous nervousness had disappeared, and instead he walked with a breeze, head held high, full of energy and spirit, without any previous feeling of depression.

He returned to the underground training room, took out the mechanical book to look at it, and soon he became fully focused.

He came to the work table, picked up the various mechanical parts that had been pushed to the ground and placed them on the table, constantly disassembling and replacing them, and conducting research and development of mechanical creations.

This was done until lunch time.

He pushed the door open, went to the dining room, and ate several bowls of rice.

These meals are quite luxurious, all of them are spiritual food! Although Ning Zhuo is now at the peak of the ninth level, he still consumes a large amount of spiritual food every day as a disguise.

After having a hearty meal, Ning Zhuo returned to the underground practice room.

This time, he activated the Floating Cloud Handkerchief, allowing his body to be covered with layers of floating clouds, and pretended to practice the Five Elements Qi Law.

The bud under his tongue, under the infusion of Ning Zhuo's magical power, helped him disguise himself.

According to Zhu Xuanji and Ning Jiufan's perception, Ning Zhuo was practicing the fourth level of the Five Elements Qi Law.

After Ning Zhuo finished his meditation and breathing, he rested for a while, closed his eyes again in the floating clouds, and his soul went directly into the fairy palace.

“Here it comes!”

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

Seeing Ning Zhuo enter the Immortal Palace again, it silently cheered for Ning Zhuo.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit could never have imagined that there would be a day when it would secretly support Ning Zhuo, wishing that Ning Zhuo could clear the path to Taoism in one go.

"Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit?" Ning Zhuo probed, calling around.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit shrank its head. Even though it had heard it, it didn't want to make any response.

It is trying to avoid communicating with Ning Zhuo.

The last time we communicated, it went back and reflected on itself, and realized that it had said too much, really too much!

Ning Zhuo had failed in his previous exploration of the Daoist path and had learned his lesson. This time, he tried to choose spirit stones as rewards from the very beginning.

He had already claimed the reward on the leaderboard once, and there were still four days before the next time he could claim it.

But if you accumulate the spirit stones as rewards for clearing levels, the number will be quite large.

When Ning Zhuo came to the last level of the Taoist path again, the spiritual power reserves in his hands were at least 30% more than before.

He failed again.

"My spell attainments still need to be further improved... but this kind of thing requires a lot of practice and can't be rushed."

"Change it to spirit stones. If you have more spirit stones, you can still imitate the method of the Demon Sect to pass the level and win by quantity!"

Ning Zhuo discovered a way to pass the level.

Either hone your spellcasting skills or summarize your experience, have a comprehensive and detailed strategy, calculate every step carefully, and eventually accumulate quantitative advantages.

When Ning Zhuo was trying to pass the level, Zhu Xuanji and Ning Jiufan kept paying attention to him.

"This floating cloud handkerchief is still a little annoying." Ning Yufan said.

Most of his detection spells were unable to perfectly avoid the Floating Clouds and would always cause severe consumption of the Floating Clouds.

"This should be the legacy left to Ning Zhuo by his mother. The usage of things in Feiyun Country is indeed quite different from that in my Nandou Country."

Layers of floating clouds covered Ning Zhuo, causing Zhu Xuanji and Ning Jiufan to no longer observe Ning Zhuo as freely.

Zhu Xuanji continued, "It seems that Ning Zhuo has completely calmed down. His character has undergone a transformation, which is very good."

"He withstood this test. He is a good candidate for cultivation."

"Brother Ning, I want to congratulate you."

Ning Jufan smiled slightly, feeling happy from the bottom of his heart.

He witnessed with his own eyes Ning Zhuo's performance in the past one or two days.

The latter has indeed made great improvements in his character.

In addition, Ning Zhuo himself has talent. If he continues to develop like this, he will definitely be the pillar of the Ning family! "Who is it?" Zhu Xuanji suddenly shouted.

His eyes suddenly lit up, emitting golden light. For a moment, his gaze was so sharp that Ning Jiufan quickly averted his gaze to avoid looking directly at him.

Zhu Xuanji disappeared from the spot in an instant, leaving only a faint golden shadow in Ning Jufan's sight.

Boom! The next moment, Ning Jiufan heard a violent explosion.

He quickly turned his head and saw that Zhu Xuanji and the mysterious and powerful enemy were already fighting fiercely.

Ning Jufan rushed forward and made a move.

Zhu Xuanji stretched out his hand and a golden wall of light appeared out of thin air, wrapping around Ning Zhuo, giving people an unbreakable feeling.

The mysterious enemy was covered in a turquoise magic glow and was rapidly retreating.

"Where are you going!" Zhu Xuanji chased after him.

The green magic light was defeated by him, revealing the appearance of the enemy inside.

She has a graceful figure and a rosy face.

"Bukongmen, Yang Chanyu!" In an instant, the identity of the mysterious enemy immediately emerged in Ning Jiufan's mind.

Yang Chanyu retreated quickly with a smile on her face. Her eyes glowed with emerald green light as she stared closely at Ning Zhuo, who was still in the immortal palace.

The green light completely withdrew, and Yang Chanyu smiled softly: "So that's how it is."

After saying this, she turned around and increased her speed, leaving only a pink afterimage behind, and then she dived into the shadows of the street.

"I'll chase you! You stay here." After Zhu Xuanji said this, he hurriedly chased after him.

Ning Jushan hid his figure and came directly to Ning Zhuo's side. He pushed his magic power to the limit, but restrained his breath, not letting any of it leak out, and was ready for battle.

After hearing the noise, the foundation building guards also rushed over. They were surprised by the existence of the golden light wall, and no one noticed that Ning, who was invisible, had surrendered.

Zhu Xuanji and Yang Chanyu were chasing each other and fleeing, and they kept fighting in the process, causing explosions again and again.

The sounds of bombing and houses collapsing resounded through the night sky like thunder, and continued without stopping, alarming the entire Huoshi Xiancheng.

Ning Zhuo's soul was still in the Lava Palace, and his body was surrounded by a golden light wall. Outside the light circle, the foundation-building guards were heavily guarding and protecting him.

After being disturbed, the floating clouds returned to their positions and completely covered Ning Zhuo.

However, based on the performance just now, it is enough to see that this kind of defense is extremely fragile in front of a Jindan-level opponent and is equivalent to a decoration.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

In a restaurant somewhere.

The sound of explosions continued. The diners in the restaurant heard the noise, got up from their seats and went to the window to watch the excitement.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Lingtong, who was disguised as a middle-aged man, flashed into the table and disappeared.

The people who were secretly monitoring him had their vision blocked for a moment, and in the blink of an eye they discovered that the target had completely disappeared.

"Where are the people?"

Feeling something was wrong, several observers immediately ran to the scene and surrounded the dining table where Sun Lingtong had just sat, looking around and searching anxiously.

"Find it quickly!"

"He can't get far."

"It must be nearby!"

The faces of these investigators were all very grim. Some of them directly activated the detection spell and scanned all the diners on this floor.

"Um?!"

"Who is so ignorant?"

"You actually used magic to test me!"

Some diners immediately turned hostile.

This detection spell is quite powerful and is a strong offense to the person being detected.

But the next moment, the monks who cast the spells began to release their aura voluntarily, and each of them had a ferocious look on their face.

There were six of them in total, and each of them had a foundation-building stage of cultivation! The aura of their cultivation was released together, immediately suppressing the entire scene.

The diners who had just wanted to get back their tempers turned pale, covered in cold sweat, and remained silent.

This posture made them realize immediately: they had just offended the murderer with their words, who was most likely a force they could not afford to provoke.

The pursuers searched frantically. Soon, the search area expanded to the entire restaurant, but they still did not find Sun Lingtong.

They left the restaurant in a hurry and spread out around the restaurant.

Along the way, the old man played by Sun Lingtong passed by the pursuers.

The pursuer didn't care and knocked Sun Lingtong to the ground. He walked hurriedly without even stopping and ran forward at full speed.

Sun Lingtong immediately made some hmmming and humming sounds, just like an ordinary old man who was knocked to the ground by an unscrupulous passerby and was unable to get up.

Sun Lingtong comes from the Bukong Sect, and is adept at disguising himself as people from all walks of life!

The subsequent pursuers just glanced at him and stepped over him.

Each of the investigators holds a magical weapon.

Their magic power was continuously infused into it, causing the magic weapon to emit strong fluctuations and search the surroundings with all its might.

Sun Lingtong was within the range, even in the center, but he did not move at all.

As a disciple of Bukong Sect, he has such self-confidence that he can compete with most detection instruments! However, there is a haze in his eyes at this moment.

After Sun Lingtong spread the second level of rumors, he discovered that a large number of people were attacking in all directions, trying their best to find the source of the rumor.

Sun Lingtong conducted a detection and immediately discovered that these investigators mainly came from the four major forces of Huoshi Xiancheng.

But it doesn’t stop there. For example, the Taiqing Palace also sent its disciples to participate in this investigation.

"Next is the critical moment." Sun Lingtong said in his heart.

Now all the major forces in the city are taking action, frantically looking for the mastermind behind the rumor. This makes it increasingly difficult for Sun Lingtong to spread rumors, and his operating space has shrunk by more than a hundred times compared to before! If Sun Lingtong continues to do this, the risk will increase by more than ten times.

But for now, he still has the third wave of rumors in his hands.

At this moment, Sun Lingtong disguised himself as an old man, lying weakly on the street.

He opened his eyes and looked at the sky, while his mind recalled the conspiracy between him and Ning Zhuo in the Lava Fairy Palace.

Ning Zhuo said to him solemnly: "Boss Sun, according to my plan, the third wave of rumors is the most critical."
