Underground workshop.

Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes and reached out to wipe the blood from his nose.

There was no longer any light blue frost magic power in his body.

But it’s the magic power of the five elements!

The five elements of magic power include the white of gold, the green of wood, the black of water, the red of fire, and the yellow of earth. The five colors of white, green, black, red, and yellow are intertwined, but do not penetrate each other, with clear order and distinct distinctions.

"In the natural world, the five elements of spiritual power are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. It is very difficult to achieve a stable balance and long-term coexistence."

"But after learning the Five Elements Qi Law, the spiritual energy is transformed into the five elements of magic power, and everything is fine and distinct."

"It is worthy of being left by the Three Sect Masters!"

"The second level of Qi Refining..."

Before, Ning Zhuo was at the third level of Qi Refining. After completely converting his magic power, he was only at the second level of Qi Refining.

Converting mana also consumes energy.

This is as it should be, and Ning Zhuo had expected it.

The next step is to continue practicing, accumulating magic power, and reaching the third level of Qi Refining.

“I don’t know when I can hear the sound of the Dharma Bell again.”

After the transformation was completed, Ning Zhuo was exhausted both physically and mentally, so he decided to take a rest and recharge his energy.

He took out a few nourishing pills and swallowed them to help his body adapt to the new magic power faster.

The Warming Pill has many advantages, such as mild medicinal power, slow effect, and minimal burden on the human body. Its biggest disadvantage may be that it is expensive. One pill costs hundreds of spirit stones.

Ding ding ding.

As soon as Ning Zhuo finished taking the pill, he heard a crisp sound like wind chimes.

This was because a suspicious person appeared near the residence, triggering the alarm.

He came to the work table and gently kicked the table leg. The wall facing him creaked, and the wall tiles moved sideways to reveal a mirror.

From the mirror, Ning Zhuo saw the "suspicious person" - Chen Cha.

Chen Cha stood at the gate of Ning Zhuo's courtyard, with his hands behind his back, looking back and forth. He looked down at the road with an embarrassed expression.

Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed with brilliance: "Chen Cha? Why did he come to me on his own initiative?"

"It seems that there has been some follow-up progress on the matter of the Inferno Monkey."

Thinking of this, I feel a little happy.

Chen Cha paced at the gate of the courtyard, with the scene that had happened before in his mind.

Fei Si called him and told him that the Mechanical Fire Monkey had been approved by the city lord, and that he would mobilize all the mechanical workshops in the city to work together to make this mechanical device, which would be used for the large-scale picking of fire persimmons during this year's Fire Persimmon Festival.

Fei Si encouraged Chen Cha: "You are the one I recruited to come to the city."

"Work hard and give it your all! If you can accomplish this, your life will be completely different."

Chen Cha was stunned. He heard it and quickly explained, "Master Feisi, you misunderstood me."

"I came to you to report this mechanical monkey. I want you to arrange a preferential policy to reduce some taxes for the Frisbee Workshop."

"Actually, this mechanical monkey was not designed by me. Someone else developed it."

Chen Cha is good at battle formations and mechanical techniques. People like him who are devoted to studying technology and can endure loneliness and hardship often do not like to cheat.

He hates to pass off other people's works as his own and he would never do that.

He had talked with Ning Zhuo before, and once suspected that Ning Zhuo was pretending to be an official work.

Faith was stunned for a moment: "It's not your work?"

He really didn't know this.

He laughed nonchalantly: "It's no big deal. You are the abbot, and it's up to you to decide who gets the credit."

Chen Cha had his own insistence on this. He shook his head decisively: "Sir, I am not very intelligent and I don't have the talent to design such an exquisite mechanical device."

"From design to production, such a mechanical device must have gone through so many setbacks and hardships. The person who invented it must have spent so much effort and thought on it!"

"What's the difference between usurping someone else's work and killing someone to take their child?"

"I beg you to understand this, sir."

There was a cold light in Feisi's eyes, and she was a little angry.

In his opinion, this mechanical work must belong to Chen Cha! Because Chen Cha is his subordinate, if Chen Cha is meritorious, it means he is meritorious.

Fei Si smiled, patted Chen Cha on the shoulder, and praised him: "It is your character that makes me admire you."

"Although this work is not yours, I believe that you will be able to design a mechanical device that is better than this one in the future."

Many years ago, he was recruited by Feisi and moved to Huoshixian City to develop.

Who knew that it was not easy to live in Xiancheng! He worked hard to run the Frisbee Workshop, but by this year, it was in a precarious situation.

However, it was true that Faith had given him a chance, and he was always grateful for that.

Fei Si asked naturally, "Let me ask you, which monk invented this mechanical monkey?"

Chen Cha refused to do it, so Fei Si decided to intervene secretly and "help" Chen Cha solve the problem.

In such a huge city like Huoshixian City, what would it matter if one or two unknown mechanical masters were missing? Chen Cha had no doubts and gave Ning Zhuo a brief introduction.

"Only the third level of Qi Refining..." Fei Si sneered in his heart, and then heard the following words, "Huh? Someone from the Ning family?"

Faith frowned slightly.

This is not easy to do.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

He immediately dismissed his previous dark thoughts.

Because this involves the Ning family, which is a Jindan-level force. If you provoke them, it will be very troublesome.

The Ning family is recognized as the weakest among the four major forces in Huoshi Xiancheng in terms of size and overall power. There is only one Jindan-stage cultivator in the Ning family.

However, the Ning family's Jindan ancestor has obtained actual combat proof.

Sixteen years ago, during the migration of the Ning family, they experienced a fierce battle. The Ning family ancestor fought one against two, repelled the ambushed enemies, and saved most of the clansmen. His fighting power was quite extraordinary.

It was precisely this point that made the other three parties sit back and watch the Ning family settle in Huoshi City. Usually, although there were some frictions among the four forces, they were all restrained and controlled, trying their best to avoid violent conflicts.

If he wanted to attack Ning Zhuo, he would have to confront the Ning family and the Ning family's golden elixir. Fei Si would never take the initiative to bear such a huge price.

It's not worth it for such a small contribution! When this plan failed, Fei Si thought of another one.

He sighed, "Chen Cha, you have misled me!"

Chen Cha was immediately surprised and confused: "Sir, you are my benefactor. Thanks to your promotion, I was able to practice in Huoshi Xiancheng. Why do you say this?"

Fei Si said, "When you reported it, you were so vague that I mistakenly thought it was your work."

"I have already guaranteed it to the Lord City Lord, and even asked for a credit for you for this."

"Oh, I always believe in you."

"Now, the matter is done. If the truth is exposed, how will the city lord deal with you and me?"

"I'm fine. I'm worried about you. For you, this is a crime of taking credit for something you did!"

Chen Cha's face turned pale and he panicked: "What should I do? Please save me!"

Fei Si remained silent, stroking his beard as if in deep thought. After a moment, he said, "Well, go and discuss this with Ning Zhuo and see if you can convince him to give you the Mechanical Monkey Ferry. You are much older than him, but Ning Zhuo is only sixteen years old. What have the cultivators of the Great Clan Academy experienced? Haha, have a good chat and discuss it with him."

Chen Cha was distressed: "This..."

Deep down, he wasn't willing to do that at all.

Fei Si snorted in his heart and sighed, "Chen Cha, this is for your own good! If you don't make the best of a mistake, when the city lord finds out, you will be the one to be punished! Taking credit for something and accepting a reward is a serious crime."

Fei Si randomly gave a few examples, which made Chen Cha break out in a cold sweat.

"Alas, now that things have come to this, I can only persuade Ning Zhuo. No, I must persuade him successfully!" Chen Cha sighed in his heart and was forced to change his mind.

Although he admired Ning Zhuo very much and regarded him as a fellow traveler, he even secretly regarded him as a close friend.

But it was about his life and reputation, and it might also implicate Lord Fei Si who had helped him, so he had no choice but to do this! Fei Si's strength and power were far superior to his. He took advantage of Chen Cha's inability to get through to the emperor and his unfamiliarity with the internal affairs of the City Lord's Mansion, and easily controlled Chen Cha with a few words.

Chen Cha had never thought of bullying or dealing with Ning Zhuo, but in front of the Jindan-level Fei Si, he, a mere foundation-building cultivator, was just a small figure.

The little people are always helpless.

After some inquiries, Chen Cha came to Ning Zhuo's residence.

He did not knock on the door directly, but wandered around the gate of the courtyard, sighing in his heart.

"Mr. Chen, why are you here?" The courtyard door opened and Ning Zhuo changed into clean clothes.

Chen Cha turned around and saw a young man in a white gown with clear eyes and extraordinary temperament.

The boy stood tall and straight. The sunlight shone down from the sky, making his outline particularly clear. Combined with the flowers and plants in the yard, the boy looked so full of vigor, purity and beauty.

Seeing Ning Zhuo's fresh and clean appearance, Chen Cha's guilt instantly increased tenfold! He had been immersed in technical research for many years and was disgusted with the injustice in the world of immortal cultivation.

However, today, he has to play the role of forcing the younger generation and conveying the darkness of the world and the cruelty of reality.

Chen Cha felt extremely heavy and painful!
