The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was favored by the Three Sects Masters when he was alive, so he must be extraordinary! To refine its soul, a No. 1 golden furnace was used.

The No. 2 golden furnace was used to refine its dragon body.

Now, before the seven hundred and twenty years have passed, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit has used his own snake body as the main material to refine a Nascent Soul-level mechanical creature - the Wanli Wandering Dragon.

Zhu Zhen calculated, "The Lava Palace is like a prison to it. It can no longer endure the days of being a palace spirit, so it wants to escape."

"And to escape from prison, we must break the prison, which means destroying this lava fairy palace."

"That's why the Lava Fairy Palace continued to fall into disrepair and opened up to external recruitment, and the selection standards kept being lowered."

Zhu Xuanji sighed: "This situation is rather tricky now."

Zhu Zhen was puzzled.

Zhu Xuanji continued to transmit the message, revealing more secrets.

He was in the royal secret vault at that time, and he saw more than just the scene of the burial mountain of the immortal palace.

There are other images.

On her deathbed, the retired emperor of the Nandou Kingdom left a will, warning future generations: After her tireless exploration in her later years, she had made many new and important discoveries about the Lava Fairy Palace and the three masters.

"Lava Immortal Palace is definitely not a move made by the Three Sect Masters on a whim."

"He has deep intentions."

The Lava Fairy Palace not only has the inheritance of organs and the three sects' methods, but also the magical power of life and death! When the emperor was dying, he was still concerned about the affairs of the state of Nandou: "If there is no royal order from my Zhu family, I must strive to master the magical power of life and death."

"The magical power seeds in the Lava Fairy Palace are the key to holding the life hanging by a thread. We must strive to obtain them."

She added: "The supreme power of Lava Fairy Palace is divided into three parts."

"One is in the position of the Palace Master of the Immortal Palace, one is in the Palace Spirit Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit of the Immortal Palace, and the last one is my Buddha Heart Demon Seal."

"The first two can be fought for, but the Buddha's Heart Demon Seal cannot be touched."

"This seal has a great origin. It is related to the dispute between the Buddhist world and the demon world, and carries a huge amount of cause and effect. If ordinary cultivators or forces accept this seal, their luck will continue to be drastically consumed until their luck is weak or even exhausted, causing numerous disasters."

"If the Nandou Zhu family does not have the king's order in the future, and does not have someone with supernatural powers who can control people's lives, it will inevitably be difficult to maintain the domestic situation. The luck is limited, and the national destiny is difficult."

"Under such circumstances, you must not be greedy for immediate benefits. Taking my Buddha Heart Demon Seal will bring turmoil to your country, the approach of foreign powers, the rebirth of internal strife, and ultimately the destruction of your country and your king, and the ruin of your foundation."

When Zhu Zhen heard Zhu Xuanji's story, he couldn't help but look worried.

"The seal cannot be taken. The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit wants to escape. If we want to control the Lava Fairy Palace, we must obtain the position of Palace Master."

Zhu Xuanji looked up and stared at the dilapidated spherical light shield in the sky: "The current situation is even more complicated."

"Not only must we seize the position of Palace Master, but we must also destroy the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's plan to escape from prison!"

"We don't know how to control the Lava Fairy Palace. Even if we become the Palace Master, it is difficult to control the entire Lava Fairy Palace in the first place."

"Once the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit leaves, the defense of the Lava Fairy Palace will plummet to the bottom without its leader."

"The red flames are blazing, and the beast tide is fierce. By then, the beast tide will rush to the end, unhindered, and quickly submerge the entire Immortal Palace!"

"Unless someone like Meng Kui is at the Nascent Soul stage, maybe he can protect the entire Immortal Palace with his own strength, right?"

"We, who have reached the Golden Core stage, won't entertain such wishful thinking."

Zhu Zhen nodded in agreement, his expression heavy.

Zhu Xuanji put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and paced a little circle, then he concentrated his thoughts and instructed Zhu Zhen.

The most important task at the moment is to search for the hiding place of Wanli Youlong. If the mechanism can be intercepted in advance, the escape plan of Longyuan Huoling will be directly thwarted.

"This is difficult." Zhu Zhen transmitted his voice, saying, "The Wanli Youlong can be big or small, and it must be extremely valued by the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit. It must be hidden very deep. In this huge Lava Fairy Palace, looking for such a target is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Zhu Xuanji also reminded him to always keep an eye on the ruins of the Golden Furnace.

Zhu Xuanji: "The ruins of the No. 3 and No. 4 golden furnaces were blown to pieces, but there are still small parts that blend in with the surroundings."

"You need to find an opportunity to approach again, dig up the surface, and then refine it and restore it to its previous form."

"I always feel that these gold furnaces No. 3 and No. 4 also have important clues buried."

Zhu Zhen felt even more difficult, so he transmitted his voice: "Brother, the reason why we were able to enter the ruins of the Golden Furnace this time was a deliberate plan. We also seized the perfect opportunity of the fight between the Black Shadow Demon Cultivator and Yang Chanyu."

"The Bukong Sect is very shrewd. Even though they have destroyed the ruins of the golden furnace, I'm afraid they won't give us another chance easily."

Zhu Xuanji nodded, agreeing with Zhu Zhen's analysis.

There are generally two ways to break the current dilemma.

One is to start from the physical objects, that is, the mechanical buildings. In Zhu Xuanji's opinion: Bukongmen was able to restrict them from approaching the ruins of Jinlu mainly by relying on the Five Elements Artillery Tower and the Dianjiangtai.

The other approach is to start with people, namely Yang Chanyu and Sun Lingtong.

But these two were extremely slippery, hiding in the Lava Fairy Palace and impossible to find.

This time, Yang Chanyu was forced out by the black shadow demon and then showed up outside of the palace examination.

Zhu Zhen transmitted his voice: "I have been thinking about the current situation these days, and suddenly I thought of another person who may be our breakthrough point."

Zhu Xuanji glanced sideways: "Oh? Tell me more about it."

Zhu Zhen: "It's the little kid!"

"Before, Chui Tiao Ke teamed up with Han Ming and Sun Lingtong to attack Ziyang Villa. Afterwards, he risked his life and fought against Jindan Qi Bai with his foundation-building skills, and finally rescued Sun Lingtong by force. Various clues show that his attainments in mechanical devices are quite good."

"I strongly suspect that the young man is the one who controls the Five Elements Artillery Tower and the Commanding Platform."

Zhu Xuanji asked: "What is the basis for your suspicion?"

Zhu Zhen only said: "How could Bukong Sect not use such a mechanical cultivator? Unless Qi Bai was seriously injured in the battle and the young guest has been recuperating, otherwise he is hiding deep in the Lava Fairy Palace, constantly monitoring the ruins of the Golden Furnace to prevent us from approaching."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Zhu Xuanji shook his head slightly: "I know."

Zhu Zhen continued, "The young man appeared in the black market a long time ago, and has been selling a kind of mechanical rope to the public, named the Up and Down Ruyi Rope."

"This rope is very popular among the monks who explore Huoshi Mountain."

"Even now, there are still upper and lower Ruyi ropes on the market and in the hands of many monks."

"I think it would be better to collect these mechanical ropes and give them to you, brother, to investigate."

"Under brother's golden eyes, we should be able to find important clues about the young guest, or even a flaw!"

Zhu Xuanji laughed and couldn't help but patted Zhu Zhen on the shoulder: "Good boy, you are worthy of your years of experience outside. Your thinking is meticulous and unique, and you are much better than before."

Zhu knew Zhu Xuanji quite well. Seeing that he had no interest, he was confused and asked, "Brother, what are you thinking? Is there something wrong with the clue I caught?"

Zhu Xuanji sighed, his expression quite complicated: "It's not wrong, but I'm afraid I have already guessed the identity of this young guest."

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but stare: "Since you guessed it, why don't you catch it..."

Suddenly, he reacted.

"Brother didn't go to catch him, which proves that he doesn't need to catch him, or maybe he can't catch him... Could it be?!"

Zhu Zhen suddenly turned his head and subconsciously looked towards the residence of Ning Jufan, the ancestor of the Ning family.

Zhu Xuanji said quietly, "In previous palace examinations, cultivators could invite outsiders as helpers. But on Sun Lingtong's side, a cultivator with mechanical skills like Chui Tiao Ke had never appeared. At that time, I felt strange."

At this point, Zhu Xuanji patted Zhu Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Of course, this is just my guess. If you are interested, you can indeed collect the Upper and Lower Ruyi Suo. But I think that after the Bukong Sect is exposed, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely do its best to track down all clues."

"Although Meng Kui is in charge of the mountain, the acting city lord Fei Si is also a capable person. According to his ability, he must have collected a batch of upper and lower Ruyi ropes. If you want to save some effort, you might as well write to him and directly transfer a batch of mechanical ropes."

Zhu Zhen opened his mouth and finally sighed, "I understand."

After a pause, he praised sincerely: "You are worthy of being my brother!"

Zhu Xuanji smiled bitterly and encouraged, "Go do something."

"According to my limited understanding of the three sect masters, this palace examination will probably only have three rounds."

"The second round of palace examinations is probably coming to an end now."

"The situation is too tense! There is a wave of monsters outside and chaos inside. For many things, we can only focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones."

"If the situation is stable and there is a lot of room for error, we can investigate everything. But now, we can only unite our allies under the influence of the overall situation, save energy and time, and focus on one point."

Zhu Zhen could sense Zhu Xuanji's helplessness, and his face was full of a look of learning: "Brother, I will remember your teachings in my heart."

Zhu Zhen was originally a member of the Nandou royal family and had a deep friendship with Zhu Xuanji.

He was now extremely grateful that he had taken this route on the Yunjing, reunited with Zhu Xuanji, and was able to contribute to this major event and help his brother.

After receiving the important task, he gave it his all despite the difficulties.

There were many holes in the light shield of the Lava Fairy Palace, and the outer circle had been basically lost. The monsters were wandering freely, but the inner circle still maintained its position.

When checking with Zhuzhen, we first gave up the outer circle and only searched the inner circle.

He searched many places and checked them one by one, but could not find any trace of Wanli Youlong.

During this period, he still wrote a letter to Fei Si. However, he no longer asked for the upper and lower Ruyi Suo, but directly asked for all the information about the young guest in the hands of the City Lord's Mansion.
