Ning Zhuo and Song Fuli meet again.
Before that, the two of them finalized the business of the Mechanical Fire Monkey. Ning Zhuo ordered Chen Cha to work overtime to urgently produce a large number of Mechanical Fire Monkeys.
Now, it's time for the two to take over.
“I didn’t expect the situation in Huoshi Xiancheng to take a sudden turn for the worse, to the point where it was besieged by monsters.” Song Fuli sighed.
He led Yunshang here, but they had only been doing business for a few days before the city was besieged by monsters.
When he saw Ning Zhuo again at this time, he felt a sense of uncertainty about fate.
Little did he know that the real culprit who caused the monsters to attack the city was right in front of him.
Ning Zhuo also sighed deeply and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that the monsters would besiege Huoshi Xiancheng."
"But the truly terrifying main force of monsters is still on the top of Huoshi Mountain."
"So this time, we have no choice but to deliver according to the quantity we agreed on before. This is the first batch of Infernape, and it will also be the last batch."
Ning Zhuo sighed helplessly when he reached this point.
When it came to the critical moment of life and death for Huoshi Xiancheng, the war had been going on all the time, and many mechanical workshops such as Chencha were strictly controlled by Feisi.
The production tasks of these machine workshops must be changed to combat machines that are most beneficial to the war.
Compared to the classic fighting mechanism creatures, the fighting style of the Mechanical Fire Monkey is relatively ordinary.
Originally, its only combat method was self-destruction. Later, when Ning Zhuo fought Zhou Zeshen, he used another mechanical accessory - a firecracker that could be thrown.
Even so, with only these two fighting methods, the Mechanical Fire Monkey is essentially not suitable for the battlefield.
Ning Zhuo's design determined that this mechanical device would be more useful when used to pick fire persimmons.
In response to Ning Zhuo's apology, Song Fuli nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand."
He randomly took out a mechanical sample from the cargo box and began testing it.
A half-human-high mechanical fire monkey appeared in front of him.
At first glance, the image of the Mechanical Fire Monkey is very eye-catching. It has bright red monkey hair, bulging muscles, and lifelike eyebrows and eyes.
Song Fuli is naturally not an ordinary person. His cultivation has reached the Golden Core level, and he has long been able to use his spiritual sense for detection.
He immediately used his spiritual sense to scan the entire body of the Mechanical Fire Monkey from the inside out.
Song Fuli's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he commented: "The monkey skin is tinder mouse skin, and it uses the most traditional, spiritual embroidery sewing technique."
"The frame is made of natural gold, mainly for the purpose of lightness and a certain degree of spatial efficiency, so that it is convenient to arrange a storage array on it."
"However, in order to compress the formation and leave room for the Infernape to advance in the future, the person who sets up the formation needs to be highly capable, and the labor for this is not cheap."
Having said that, Song Fuli stretched out his hand again and opened both of the Fire Monkey's hands, which were originally clenched into fists.
He traced Infernape's fingers with his fingers.
After a few breaths, he nodded slightly: "The micro-arrays here are nested in each other, saving a lot of space.
"The mechanical monkey's fingers are agile and flexible, and can perform very complex finger movements, which is the cornerstone of precise picking operations."
"From this, it can be seen that, Master Ning Zhuo, your skills in formation are quite good, and your basic skills are very solid."
"Considering that you are only sixteen years old this year, your accomplishments in mechanical engineering are quite impressive."
"The walking bullet in the monkey's brain should be your original creation. Using it as a receiver of spiritual consciousness should be to suppress the cost with all your strength."
"Personally, I would suggest replacing the walking projectile with an array disk to form an enhanced model. After all, although the design of this walking projectile is unique, its upper limit for precise control by foundation-building cultivators is very low, and is far inferior to the orthodox array disk."
"Of course, the more important point is: as long as the array plate is replaced, the unit price of the Mechanical Fire Monkey can be increased by at least 30%!"
Song Fuli's words made Ning Zhuo look at him with new respect.
Unexpectedly, his knowledge of mechanical devices is also quite impressive.
But after thinking about it, Ning Zhuo understood: Song Fuli was a traveling merchant from Feiyun Country, leading a caravan. He had been traveling all over the country for a long time and was naturally proficient in all kinds of cultivation arts.
Otherwise, if he wanted to purchase some local specialties, it would be easy to make mistakes.
Song Fuli continued, "The body of the Mechanical Fire Monkey should be made of mixed materials using alchemy technology."
"Because we are going to pick fire persimmons, we have tried our best to build up fire resistance in the mixed materials."
"Actually, I have a better idea, and that is Leng Yun."
"This cloud, which is very common in Feiyun Country, can be used as the main material. Not only will the weight of the Infernape machine be greatly reduced, but it can also further increase its fire resistance."
"Do you know anything about Leng Yun?"
Ning Zhuo nodded slightly and said frankly: "This material is recorded in the many secret manuals of mechanisms that my mother left to me."
"It's a pity that this is not Feiyun Country, but Huoshi Mountain."
"If I want to acquire Lengyun, I have to import materials, and the unit price is much higher than the current mixed materials."
Song Fuli was slightly stunned, then he looked up and laughed: "That's the truth."
"I know your mother is from Feiyun Country."
At this point, Song Fuli looked at Ning Zhuo with a very sincere expression: "I'm sorry, we have secretly investigated many things about you, Mr. Ning Zhuo."
"In fact, this is a common practice for us at Yunshang wherever we go. After all, we are doing business on other people's turf."
“So we have to investigate as much as possible about many important local figures, and then visit them one by one.”
"In Huoshixian City, the city lord Meng Kui, the divine detective Zhu Xuanji, and the black market lord Ning Zhuoni are all the ones we need to focus on."
Song Fuli, a dignified Jindan, actually spoke in a flattering manner.
This attitude towards doing business is truly admirable.
Song Fuli continued, "Mr. Ning Zhuo, half of you are from Feiyun Country, so Feiyun Country is also your home."

"I suggest you go home and take a look, especially at the Wanxiang Sea of Clouds. The sooner you go back, the better."
Ning Zhuo was slightly stunned, and could not help but show longing: "Indeed, Wanxiang Cloud Sea... I have heard of its great name a long time ago, and I really want to go and see it."
Song Fuli laughed: "It's not just as simple as taking a peek."
"As people outside the Feiyun Nation, the Wanxiang Cloud Sea is just a wonder of heaven and earth for them, a place that can provide a vast amount of cultivation resources."
"But for us Feiyun people, it has another important meaning."
"As long as the cultivators who have the blood of Feiyun Nation in their bodies enter the Wanxiang Cloud Sea, they will be able to receive its gifts!"
"One of the lowest gifts is the ability to sense the blood of Feiyun Nation to a certain extent."
"To be honest, I felt close to you the first time I saw you. I could sense the Feiyun bloodline in you because I have been to Wanxiang Yunhai before."
"This is an ability that every citizen of Feiyun Country who has been in and out of the Wanxiang Cloud Sea possesses - sensing the blood of their own people."
In the entire world of cultivation, Wanxiang Cloud Sea has a great reputation.
Even if Ning Zhuo did not have his mother's inheritance, he could still obtain a lot of information about the Wanxiang Yunhai from the Ning family's library.
This is because this super resource point is well-known, so famous that it has become common knowledge in the cultivation world. Huoshi Mountain cannot be compared with it at all.
The Wanxiang Cloud Sea is the gathering place of the Way of Clouds, and contains extremely rich laws of the Great Dao. It nurtures a vast amount of cloud resources, and even great cultivators at the level of Divine Transformation and Refining Void linger in it, comprehending the Way of Clouds.
Song Fuli took a deep breath and continued, "It is indeed a bit abrupt to suddenly persuade you to go to Feiyun Country."
"But actually, um...how do I put it?"
"It can be said that Wanxiang Sea of Clouds is the spiritual sustenance or spiritual home of every Feiyun citizen."
"Have you heard of the myth about Feiyun returning home?"
Ning Zhuo nodded: "I have heard of it. My mother once told me before she died."
Song Fuli sighed softly: "Young Feiyun wanted to go out and explore the world, but after years of wandering, he realized that his hometown is his origin and he belongs there, no matter where he goes."
"To be honest, I was the same when I was young. I wanted to travel the world and see what it has to offer."
"One day, I came to the Wanxiang Sea of Clouds and was so deeply immersed in it that I was moved to tears. The incomparable shock and intimacy made me feel as if I was back in my mother's arms."
"It is difficult for me to describe in words the emotion and shock that the Wanxiang Sea of Clouds has given me. Only when you enter the sea of clouds in person one day in the future will you feel it deeply."
Ning Zhuo sighed and said uncertainly: "Maybe one day, I will go."
He couldn't be sure that day would come.
Because according to his life plan, he will seize the Lava Fairy Palace and become the master of the Lava Fairy Palace.
However, in this way, he would be trapped in Huoshi Mountain, unless he activated the Lava Fairy Palace and left Huoshi Mountain.
But if he is the palace master and Lava Fairy Palace is responsible for suppressing Huoshi Mountain, he obviously cannot leave his post without permission.
"Perhaps, I should go to Wanxiang Cloud Sea to have a look, but how should I do it?"
All along, Lava Fairy Palace has been Ning Zhuo’s life goal, and he has never thought about any other possibilities in life.
His mind was full of Lava Fairy Palace and his mother's instructions to him before she died.
In fact, before this, Sun Lingtong had advised him that if he failed to seize the Lava Fairy Palace, or even if he succeeded in the end, he should run away and join the Bukong Sect to obtain a certain degree of protection.
Although Ning Zhuo acknowledged in his heart that this was a way out, in fact, he had never really thought of taking this path.
But now, the words of Song Fuli, an outsider, made Ning Zhuo truly feel another possible path in his life.
Ning Zhuo's heart was touched by it.
