Papapapa! "What's that sound?" Ning Zhuo asked.

"Young Master, I leaked the contents of the palace examination to you, and I am being severely punished by the Fire Whip of the Immortal Palace." The situation was extremely critical, and the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit could not care less and frantically urged, "Hurry up and fire!"

Ning Zhuo then relented and gave the order to fire.

Boom boom boom…

A large number of shells condensed from the five elements' magic power flew towards the golden furnace.

"Sure enough!" Zhu Xuanji's eyes suddenly lit up with golden light.

He was prepared for this.

The next moment, the monks he arranged activated a temporary formation and blocked a considerable number of Five Elements shells in mid-air.

Zhu Xuanji threw out a formation plate and instantly created a defensive formation to block the remaining artillery attacks.

And he took the opportunity to come to the golden furnace.

First, he killed a few red-flame monsters, and then he came to the ruins of a golden furnace.

"Lava Fairy Palace originally had eight golden furnaces, but now there are only three left, and five have been used."

"Let's not consider the three intact golden furnaces. The clues left by Ning Xiaohui are on the five used golden furnaces!"

"Golden Furnace No. 1, I already know the inside story, no need to detect."

"The remaining ones are number two, number three, number four, and number five."

"The destruction of the gold furnaces is likely to follow this order. In other words, the destruction of the No. 5 gold furnace is closest to now."

"Then, this is it!"

Talent: Golden Eyes! Skill: Tracing the Origin.

The next moment, Zhu Xuanji "saw" the past.

He saw a teleportation halo formed out of thin air, and then revealed Yuan Dasheng's body.

The door of the golden furnace opened automatically and sucked Yuan Dasheng's body in.

Immediately, the golden furnace started with a bang, a raging flame burned, and the refining process began.

As the smelting process progressed, countless cracks gradually appeared on the surface of the gold furnace.

When the refining was completed, the golden furnace collapsed and turned into countless pieces and debris.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and a mechanical monkey stood there, motionless.

"This is - the mechanical monkey in the trial level?!" In an instant, Zhu Xuanji's pupils dilated slightly.

The retrospective image ends here.

Zhu Xuanji came back to his senses and found that another round of bombardment had arrived! Boom boom boom...

Under the coverage of artillery fire, the intact golden furnace remained motionless, and a large number of red-flame monsters died.

The temporary magic circle that Zhu Xuanji had set up before finally couldn't bear the pressure and was submerged under the ravages of the five elements magic power.

Zhu Xuanji was covered in golden light and bathed in the bombing, but he stood still.

However, a powerful force was pushing him away.

Zhu Xuanji felt helpless.

Because this power comes from the restriction of the Immortal Palace. Now that the monsters have been destroyed, Zhu Xuanji is no longer qualified to stay here.

Zhu Xuanji took part in the palace examination to compete for the position of Palace Master of the Immortal Palace. He did not want to resist such a force, so he had to submit temporarily.

As soon as he left the golden furnace, a flying letter arrived and slowly hovered in front of him.

It was a letter from Meng Kui! After reading the letter, Zhu Xuanji smiled slightly: "That's it?"

He didn't care.

Because, after Ning Zhuo confessed his crime, he admitted that the body of Yuan Dasheng he had obtained was taken away by Sun Lingtong! Han Ming never saw the true face of the young man, he only knew that the young man took out Yuan Dasheng's body.

"Bone of steel? Yuan Dasheng is actually an immortal. No wonder the magic scripture still remained in his body after his death."

"Ning Zhuo didn't know the true value of Yuan Dasheng and gave up this corpse."

"Sun Lingtong, Chui Tiao Ke and others from Bukong Sect not only obtained the Demonic Scripture, but also used the golden furnace to turn Yuan Dasheng into a mechanical monkey."

"That mechanical ape should be the one that the soul took to enter the Immortal Palace."

"Before, everyone guessed that it was part of the Immortal Palace, one of the arrangements made by the three masters. I didn't expect that this was a method used by Bukongmen."

"The Bukong Sect has been coveting the Lava Fairy Palace for a long time and has infiltrated it very deeply. Not only can they change its name and add mechanical monkeys to the trial level to block the repair team, but they can also use the golden furnace to seek personal gain for themselves."

"Perhaps, the traps and mechanisms that have troubled all members of the repair team on the route to the Immortal Palace were also set up by Bukongmen?"

The City Lord's Mansion had already captured two evil cultivators from the Soul Devouring Sect (Triangular Eyes and Hooked Nose). Therefore, Zhu Xuanji believed that Chui Tou Ke and Sun Lingtong were both disciples of the Bukong Sect.

"I have already discussed with Meng Kui about Ning Zhuo's confession. But now he has given me Fei Si's report letter. What does that mean?"

"Oh, I see."

Zhu Xuanji was a little confused, but then he understood.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky, snorting coldly: "This old sly fellow."

Immediately, Zhu Xuanji wrote a letter and arranged for a messenger to deliver it to Meng Kui.

Meng Kui had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Fei Xin, he immediately stretched out his big hand to receive the message.

After getting Zhu Xuanji's consent, Meng Kui immediately conveyed the order to Fei Si and asked him to take action.

Ning Zhuo still didn't know that Han Ming had turned himself in.

But he understood that Zhu Xuanji had already explored golden furnace No. 5.

This made him realize that the refining of Yuan Dasheng and the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng had been exposed.

Ning Zhuo felt lucky for himself: "Fortunately, I made the right decision in the Salesian Garden - betraying Boss Sun and confessing my crime to Zhu Xuanji!"

If he had not done this at the beginning, he would not have been able to reveal the secret that "Yuan Dasheng had been handed over to Bukongmen". Without this advance mine clearance action, Zhu Xuanji's exploration of the No. 5 golden furnace at this moment would inevitably detonate this hidden danger.

At this time, Ning Zhuo no longer had the Buddha Heart Demon Seal to protect him! Even if he could temporarily pretend to be submissive, as long as Zhu Xuanji and others restrained him and prevented him from moving freely, he would be unable to move and would eventually be exposed and defeated.

He was able to get through this time safely temporarily because of his previous actions.

If you take a wrong step, even if nothing happens at the time, when something happens later, there will be almost no chance to change it.

It was Ning Zhuo's foresight and his more than ten years of preparation, as well as the many arrangements he made in the second line of defense, that helped him survive this disaster.

"Zhu Xuanji is becoming more and more troublesome."

"This guy actually set his sights on the golden furnace!"

"Although today's bombardment prevented his subsequent actions, the bombardment itself also exposed many secrets."

"After this incident, Zhu Xuanji must have realized that Bukongmen is very concerned about the golden furnace, and he is even more certain that the golden furnace contains important clues!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"He will definitely keep trying, and he will be better prepared next time."

"Oh, my headache!"

Ning Zhuo was not only facing the palace examination, and not only had to continue cooperating with Sun Lingtong in front of the public, he also had to deal with Zhu Xuanji who was chasing after the truth! If Zhu Xuanji focused on the palace examination, it would make Ning Zhuo feel much more relaxed.

But there is often a clear gap between reality and ideal.

Ning Zhuo could only be forced to divert his attention and keep a close eye on the movements of the monsters. Once a group of monsters wanted to attack the golden furnace, he would launch artillery fire in advance to try not to give Zhu Xuanji any chance.

"It was the right decision to choose the position of the head of the Five Elements Artillery Tower."

The duty of the Five Elements Artillery Tower has demonstrated its powerful value time and again.

The position of director of a medical clinic is also very useful.

Ning Zhuo came to the intensive care unit and met Sun Lingtong secretly.

He shared with Sun Lingtong the information about the palace examination that he had just obtained from the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit.

He also took out the Jindan-level monkey mechanism and the Golden Blood War Ape Dasheng.

In front of Sun Lingtong, Ning Zhuo used his magical power to hang Yuan Dasheng's spirit out.

Yuan Dasheng's spirit floated in the air, round like a ball.

The ball shows the shape of a monkey's head, which is vivid and lifelike.

The monkey head did not make any noise, but looked at Ning Zhuo solemnly and dignifiedly, saying: "My lord."

Ning Zhuo nodded to him: "There is a task for you to do."

"For the next period of time, I want you to hide in this mechanical body. Wait for my order, and then you will launch a counterattack."

After Ning Zhuo finished speaking, his magic power was infused into the bottom of his tongue, where a strange flower was hidden.

The magic power was infused into the bud of the strange flower, causing a cloud of smoke to emerge.

Ning Zhuo exhaled clouds of smoke towards Yuan Dasheng's spirit.

The clouds and mist enveloped Yuan Dasheng's spirit, making it appear translucent and almost invisible, and there were many cloud patterns around the spiritual light ball.

Ning Zhuo stuffed Yuan Dasheng's spiritual power with cloud patterns into the Jindan-level mechanical monkey.

Ning Zhuo asked Yuan Dasheng to try using the new body, and after giving it some time to adapt, he ordered it to hide again.

Finally, Ning Zhuo opened the body of the Jindan Mechanical Monkey, disassembled many of the internal parts, took them out, and placed them in the intensive care unit.

After Ning Zhuo had a secret talk with Sun Lingtong, he returned to his temporary residence and took the initiative to ask to see Ning Ruoshan.

"Grandfather, the second round of the palace examination is coming soon. After much thought, I still think it is best to lend this thing to you!"

As he said that, Ning Zhuo took out the Jindan-level mechanical monkey and handed it directly to Ning Jufan.

Ning Jufan was surprised and subconsciously used his spiritual sense to scan the entire Jindan Monkey Mechanism.

The mechanical monkey was tall, about 18 feet tall. Its skeleton and joints were made of Wanji Black Iron. Its chest and back were mainly made of Red Sun Copper. Its claws and teeth were made of diamond.

The entire mechanism monkey is made of high-end materials and is extremely solid.

However, compared to its appearance, the body of the mechanical monkey is empty and needs to be filled with many mechanical parts before it can be activated.

"Xiao Zhuo, you are very good." Ning Rufan stroked his beard, feeling satisfied. "Then I will accept your filial piety. I may need it in the second round of palace examination!"

As soon as the news of the second round of palace examinations came down, he began to find ways to make active preparations in all aspects.

Of course he thought of the Jindan-level mechanical monkey in Ning Zhuo's hand.

However, due to his elders and the face of the righteous path, he was not in a position to ask Ning Zhuo for it.

This time, Ning Zhuo took the initiative to offer it, which made Ning Jiufan feel relieved. He felt that Ning Zhuo was a member of the Ning family after all, and his previous actions to protect Ning Zhuo were not wrong! Now, there is a heartwarming reward.

"This mechanical book, The Secret Book of Ice Sculptures, is the main focus of my mechanical engineering. You can take it back and study it." Ning Jiufan took out a jade slip from his storage ring.

Ning Zhuo suddenly showed his delight, took it quickly and thanked sincerely.

Seeing Ning surrender and open the golden elixir mechanism monkey, Ning Zhuo tactfully took his leave.

Huo Shi Xian City, City Lord’s Mansion.

After receiving Meng Kui's reply, Fei Si immediately took action.

He entered the dungeon, met Han Ming, and said bluntly: "According to what you said, the young man used you to help him increase his soul foundation?"

"I don't believe it."

"Come on, come on, use it on me!"
