"But you and I have only met twice before. This is only the third time. Please lend me these two pictures of enlightenment."

"Aren't you worried that I might just leave Wanyaomen with these two pictures?"

"You know, all these enlightenment diagrams are treasures passed down from generation to generation and are very valuable."

The bitter water of Hanzhou is hard to drink, and those who are not qualified will suffer if they drink it. But Wufatu does not have such a serious drawback.

The bitter water contains the true meaning of the Bitter Cold Sutra. If a cultivator absorbs too much of this true meaning, it will waver in his mind and gradually lean towards the Bitter Cold Sutra, thus changing his practice method and starting over.

The Wufatu is just a spell and does not involve any exercises. It is much more suitable for general use.

Ning Zhuo smiled and thought to himself, "Of course I'm not afraid. I have someone whose life is hanging by a thread. I've already planted one for you, and I can sense your location at any time."

On the surface, he waved his hand and said, "The value of the Enlightenment Diagram is only reflected in the people who use it."

"Brother Hanzhou has given me the gift of bitterness, and I have benefited a lot from it. I should give back in return."

"As the ancients said, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water. My virtue is low and I cannot achieve this."

"But it's still possible to lend you two pictures of enlightenment!"

"As long as I leave Xiaozheng Peak in the future and go somewhere else to continue my travels, Brother Hanzhou can return it to me."

"After all, this is my Ning family's property, not mine personally."

Hanzhou was stunned for a moment when he saw that Ning Zhuo was not putting on a show but was really trying to borrow his help.

"This kid Ning Zhuo, no, this junior really looks like a child of a wealthy family."

"However, this may also be a social skill deliberately trained by the big families..."

I am the Buddha's Heart Demon Seal! "To be honest, I have seen countless people. With my beggar appearance, few people respect me."

"Even those who asked me to fight, such as Li Jingqing, were obviously not as strong as me, but they still yelled at me."

"You are able to lend me two Enlightenment Diagrams directly after only the third time we met. Mr. Ning Zhuo... is indeed very generous!"

Han Zhou's admiration quickly overwhelmed his doubts.

He thought about his plan again.

"To be honest, I am not sincere towards Ning Zhuo. I have always wanted to convert him secretly and guide him to practice the Bitter Cold Sutra instead."

"No, no, no, he has such an understanding of the Bitter Cold Sutra. Is the existing practice really suitable for him? By doing this, I am actually helping him."

I have the Buddha's Heart Demon Seal! "Even so, I am still plotting against him, am I not?"

"But Master Ning Zhuo treats me with such sincerity!"

"Alas, I did not do this properly, and I feel really guilty..."

Hanzhou felt both admiration and shame.

Ning Zhuo has lived in Huoshi Xiancheng for sixteen years, and has been trying to figure out human nature. He can use his own judgment to draw out a bit of the power of the Buddha Heart Demon Seal to influence others.

Now, he has mastered the magical power of the life-suspending thread. Once planted by the hanging thread, as long as he is face to face and a few steps away, Ning Zhuo can use the combination of the hanging thread and my Buddha Heart Demon Seal to sense the vague thoughts and emotions in the hearts of others.

Although it was quite vague, and could not be identified by these inductions alone, Ning Zhuo was able to rely on his grasp of people's hearts to guess a lot. Thus, he could carry out targeted blessings and reductions.

With the help of the Life-Suspending Thread and the Buddha's Heart Demon Seal, he increased and decreased one, giving him a huge advantage in interpersonal communication.

Han Zhou's affection for him increased immediately. The key point was that he did not find it strange or abrupt at all. Everything was natural like the spring breeze and rain. He just thought that this was what he thought.

He wanted to convert Ning Zhuo, but he didn't know that he had been gradually led and controlled by Ning Zhuo.

In order to make up for his guilt, Hanzhou worked even harder during the competition.

After the two said goodbye, he took the initiative to suggest: "Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo, if you are troubled by the inability to use the martial arts in the Bitter Cold Sutra. I have a method here that may be able to solve your worries."

Ning Zhuo: "Oh, what's the trick?"

Han Zhou smiled and said, "In fact, it's not surprising when you put it bluntly - it's just a mechanical device."

"I've seen you cast five-element spells, and sometimes you use your flying mechanical arms to assist in combat."

"I thought that maybe I could use mechanical creations to break through the obstacles in martial arts!"

Ning Zhuo had never thought of this. His eyes lit up immediately and he thanked Han Zhou sincerely.

When the two parties parted, Ning Zhuo fell into reflection: "I was careless."

"I was overwhelmed by the joy of the harvest. This method is so simple, and I am an expert in mechanical engineering, why didn't I think of it?"

"I already have the Devil-stained Blood Tendon Technique, which can be transformed naturally, so I didn't think too much about it?"

"Is it because I have been fighting with my own strength recently and temporarily forgot about mechanical arts?"

"No, those are not reasons."

"I am gradually becoming proud. After entering the Wan Yao Sect, I found that my Buddha Heart Demon Seal and Life Suspension Thread work together to give me a great advantage in interpersonal communication, allowing me to easily gain huge profits without having to fight or cultivate a level of cooperation and trust, or an emotional foundation over a long period of time."

"Ning Zhuo, Ning Zhuo, you are still far from it."

"Your cultivation is only at the initial stage of foundation building. You haven't even started designing the mechanism for Meng Yehu. You know very little about cultivation. You have only added a few offensive techniques to the wood element, and you are still lacking in the other four elements."

"Also, the spiritual plant cabin of Wanli Youlong has only been roughly arranged, and the Lingyin Willow consumes a lot of it. The mechanical Youlong itself also consumes a lot of fire essence. You haven't solved these problems yet."

When Ning Zhuo thought about this, his mood calmed down and he exuded a calm and low-key aura.

He went to the original mountain again, and as expected, was intercepted again.

When he asked about Lin Shanshan's news, he was also scolded, saying that he should not ask about things he shouldn't ask about! So Ning Zhuo knew that the people sent by Wanyaomen to Huoshixian City to collect intelligence had not returned yet.

If he came back, the cooperation between the two parties could enter the next stage of negotiation, and the other party would not have such an attitude.

"Aren't the people from Wanyaomen acting too slowly?"

"According to the date, my letter should have arrived at Huoshixian City by now."

According to the distance between Wanyao Valley and Huoshi Mountain, Ning Zhuo's flying signal, which he casts relying solely on his own magic power, will no longer be accurate when it flies to five or six miles, and will fall when it flies to ten miles because his magic power is exhausted.

His letter was delivered via the post.

Cultivation kingdoms like Nandou Kingdom all have official post stations.

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

These stations are divided into three types: large, medium and small. They are responsible for delivering information, transporting goods, and providing accommodation, food and a training environment.

There are troops stationed at all post stations.

Once deployed, the garrisons of large post stations can even sweep the local area and eliminate gangs and sects.

The letters that Ning Zhuo sent back were distributed and transported through the post stations again and again, and finally arrived at their destination - Huoshi Mountain.

The top of Huoshi Mountain.

Lava Fairy Palace.

After a period of hard salvage, Meng Kui has pieced together the missing parts of the Immortal Palace and restored some of its power.

A large number of monks gathered around the repaired parts, hammering and arranging magic arrays, working as hard as bees and busy all the time.

These delicate and precise tasks are beyond the ability of Mengqiu to do all by himself.

The cultivators he hired were not only from the Zhou family, but he also used the channels of the Meng family to recruit talents from various immortal cities in the Nandou Kingdom at a large sum of money.

The City Lord's Mansion of Huoshixian City also borne a small part of this expense.

It was this part that made Faith depressed all day and felt financially stressed.

Ning Jiufan and Zhou Nongying were invited to the Lava Fairy Palace to discuss important matters with Meng Kui.

Meng Kui showed a picture of the depths of Huoshi Mountain.

In a huge sea of ​​magma, lava was surging like a river. An elf was flashing with dazzling light, going in and out of the sea of ​​​​lava, playing happily.

Sometimes it turns into a fire-melting demon ape, raising its arms, tearing the magma apart, and bringing about a raging gale. Sometimes it turns into a fire-flecked rat, shuttling like lightning. Sometimes it turns into a fire-running snake, agile and unique. Sometimes it turns into a fire-trampling lizard, with a fierce and majestic momentum.

It even transformed into a human form, wearing a flaming robe, sitting cross-legged in the sea of ​​fire, learning to practice breathing exercises! Whenever this happened, the surrounding flames seemed to be attracted by some invisible force and moved closer to it, but they kept a respectful distance, just like a minister paying homage to the king.

Every tiny fluctuation of the fire essence can cause the surrounding flames to resonate, forming a series of gorgeous flame vortexes, which are beautiful and breathtaking! Meng Kui said: "As you can see, this is a ten thousand year old fire essence!"

Zhou Nongying and Ning Jiufan were silent for a while, feeling quite surprised.

Treasures like the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence have surpassed the Nascent Soul level and reached the God Transformation level!

Meng Kui said again: "The previous volcanic eruption attracted it from deep underground. I controlled the Lava Fairy Palace and accidentally discovered it during my daily exploration."

"Today I am looking for your two families to discuss a way to take him in."

Ning Jiufan looked worried: "I'm afraid with our current strength, it will be very difficult to capture it. It occupies too large a territory, and the Lava Fairy Palace is far from being able to participate in the war now."

Zhou Nongying sighed, "That being said, this matter must be done and cannot be delayed for long. You see, this ten thousand year old fire spirit can already transform into a human form, but the human form is still very vague and rather strange, with many signs of animality remaining."

"I think it must have been attracted by the riot at Huoshi Mountain. After coming up, it found that there was spiritual energy to absorb, so it has been lingering there."

"Back then, many monks sacrificed their lives here in order to explore the Lava Fairy Palace."

"It is precisely because of this gift that the Ten Thousand Years Fire Spirit was able to quickly transform into a human form. If it really did achieve this, its intelligence would surely increase greatly, and the difficulty of containing it would increase by at least ten times!"

Ning surrendered and remained silent.

A wild fire spirit that has human wisdom but is not bound by any rules. It is powerful and was born and raised naturally...

It goes without saying that its existence is a huge threat to the entire Huoshixian City.

Meng Kui said directly: "The two of you should make preparations. When I am ready, I will lure it out and hunt it. Fellow Daoist Ning Jue Fan, I know you have a fire core pomegranate in your hand. Please lend it to me and use it in the trap."

"We will compensate you accordingly and will not treat you unfairly."

Ning agreed to Fan's request.

After flying back to the clan's homeland, the servant handed him Ning Zhuo's letter.

Ning Jiufan took a look at Zhan Xin and said, "Huh? This kid actually came to Wanyao Valley? Back then..."

Continuing to read, Ning Jiufan raised his eyebrows and said, "What? I'd better take Grandma Yuan with me for a walk?"
