Han Zhou couldn't help but glance sideways, his puzzled eyes seemed to be saying, "Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo, didn't you just say that you wanted to establish a good relationship with Hua Guzi? Why are you now so reluctant to let people go?"

Ning Zhuo sensed Han Zhou's doubts and did not explain, but directly avoided Hua Guzi.

Han Zhou:?!

He secretly took a breath of cold air, feeling quite strange.

In his opinion, Hua Guzi obviously wanted to make friends with Ning Zhuo and ease the relationship, but he didn't expect that Ning Zhuo would be the one who was showing a bad face.

"According to Hua Guzi's personality, coming here in such a humble manner and even bringing dumplings is already breaking the rules."

"Mr. Ning Zhuo actually treated her like this. It was like rubbing her face on the ground."

"Mr. Ning Zhuo is a little unwise."

"Oh...what is this?"

Han Zhou felt that this matter could have been handled well, but Ning Zhuo behaved rather strangely.

He subconsciously stayed away from Hua Guzi to prevent the latter from getting angry and attacking him.

Hua Guzi still maintained the bowing posture with his upper arms, upper body and face parallel to the ground.

Her face flushed red, and she felt angry, embarrassed and weird.

"Rejected! I did all this, but he still rejected me!"

"I was rejected! I was rejected!!"

“Ahhhh!”

"How shameful, so shameful."

"Not only was I rejected, but I was also seen by outsiders. I'm going to die!"

"I'm going to die, is there a crack in the ground? I want to crawl into it!!"

“Hehe, hahaha, coococo…”

"Why? Why would Mr. Ning Zhuo reject me? Could he bear to reject such a lovely and beautiful lady like me?"

"Why? Why do I feel a little happy?"

"Even if I was rejected by Master Ning Zhuo, I still felt very happy."

"Why is this happening?"

"This brat trampled my dignity into the mud. He deserves to be killed, damned!"

"But, but, but...why can't I hate it?"

Hua Guzi himself was also confused.

This is even more true for Ning Zhuo.

"This female cultivator is crazy!!" Ning Zhuo sensed the extreme joy in Hua Guzi's heart, and the chill in his heart became even stronger, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"This half-demon has a very twisted temperament and is definitely not normal!"

"Stay away from her. It feels safer."

Ning Zhuo warned himself in his heart.

Hanzhou was very vigilant along the way.

Until they were far enough away, he looked back from afar and saw Hua Guzi floating in the same place like a sculpture, which made him feel even more frightened.

It felt like Hua Guzi was a thunder talisman, and it might explode in the next moment! Ning Zhuo returned to his cave, temporarily forgot about Hua Guzi, and began his daily routine of practice.

Mirror table spiritual communication technique, five elements qi law technique, and magic blood tendon technique!

He practiced the three techniques in turn, steadily improving his cultivation.

In the cave, the abundant spiritual energy was so dense that it accumulated into mist. Ning Zhuo grabbed a handful of spiritual food and put it in his mouth to chew, and it quickly turned into essence and spiritual power.

The calming incense burned quietly, and the cushion for sitting was a joint reward from the three families of Huoshixian City, and it is still effective today.

After finishing the exercise, Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes, transmitted his voice to Sun Lingtong, and sighed, "Boss, is there any way to increase the speed of cultivation? Up to now, my cultivation is only at the initial stage of foundation building, which is too slow!"

Sun Lingtong was drinking water, and when he heard this, he almost spit it out: "Xiaozhuo, why do you feel slow?"

"You have talent, five elements spiritual roots, and various resources. Your daily progress in cultivation is visible to the naked eye. This speed is already first-rate, far better than I was back then. How dare you think it's too slow?"

Ning Zhuo sighed: "I feel like I'm still a long way from the middle stage of foundation building."

Sun Lingtong was speechless when he heard this. He rolled his eyes, looked up at the ceiling, and replied in a voice transmission: "This is what happens when you reach the foundation-building stage."

"Every time you advance to a higher realm, your cultivation speed will slow down several times, or even more. This is because after the qualitative change, the foundation that needs to be accumulated for each higher realm often increases by dozens or even hundreds of times!"

"The more excellent the technique, the deeper the foundation it needs to accumulate. This is why cultivators who practice excellent techniques will have strengths that surpass cultivators of the same level."

"Just think about it, what level are your three sects of the upper method? The best of the best, the best of the best."

"So, don't think about the good things in the Qi Refining Stage. Just endure it slowly. This is how cultivation works. You have to persevere and work hard."

"It will take at least several years for you to advance to the middle stage of foundation building."

"Don't rush it, you need to adjust your mindset!"

Ning Zhuo sighed: "Alas, Boss, I know you are right, but I just can't help being anxious and impatient."

"Boss, I often think that if I had the fighting power of Yuanying level, I could just go and discuss with Lin Bufan directly. Why would we have to fight on Xiaozheng Peak?"

Sun Lingtong rolled her eyes again: "You are daydreaming!"

"I also said that if I had the cultivation base of Nascent Soul, no, as long as I had the cultivation base of Golden Core, I would have the confidence to steal all of Lin Bufan's belongings."

"Considering our age, this level of cultivation is already ahead of 99% of our peers. Don't be too hard on yourself, Xiaozhuo."

Ning Zhuo sighed, "Boss, I also know this is unrealistic. If you demand too much progress in your cultivation, it would be too hasty and short-sighted. You must lay a solid foundation and gain a firm foothold in your cultivation."

“A tall building is built from the ground up. If the foundation is unstable, no matter how high the building is, there is a huge risk of it collapsing.”

"I'm just sharing this with you because I'm feeling depressed."

Sun Lingtong was silent for a moment, then said comfortingly, "I've seen that you've made rapid progress recently, with visible growth every day. It's really unreasonable to feel depressed about this. If you tell others about this, I don't know how many geniuses and true disciples will be ashamed."

"This little Zhengfeng is a precious place for you. You should stay here and make good use of it."

After a pause, Sun Lingtong continued: "However, it is not impossible for you to achieve the combat power of Yuanying level."

"You are so good at mechanical engineering. Wouldn't it be enough if you just create a mechanical device with Yuanying-level combat power?"

When Ning Zhuo mentioned the agency, his tone suddenly became cheerful, and his expression revealed joy and relaxation.

He said, "Boss, my attempt at the martial arts mechanism has been well verified on Hua Guzi."

"This is a great inspiration for me to design the mechanical body for Meng Yehu!"

"I can first choose a technique for it, and then design a mechanical body for it based on this technique."

"It practiced the Flesh-Tank Blood-Swallowing Magic Skill when it was alive. This skill is definitely not effective. It is difficult to cooperate with the mechanical materials."

“In fact, the Sutra of Suffering can do it.”

"The mechanical fists and kicks I used in this battle were mainly made from bitter water and single seedling wood. The former was thanks to Hanzhou's support, and the latter came from the market in Xiaozhengfeng."

"The mechanical fists and feet constructed with this material are somewhat similar to Hanzhou's physical body, and can even enhance the martial arts suffering body."

"The Sutra of Suffering and Meng Yehu's talent cannot be combined. However, if the Sutra of Suffering can do it, other skills should be able to do it too."

Sun Lingtong stroked his chubby chin with his chubby little hands and thought seriously, "Xiaozhuo, considering your current relationship with the Wanyao Sect, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to find skills from it."

Ning Zhuo said: "I've thought about it. We can go to a certain immortal city. There must be a Quanshu Building there. Choose a technique from it and pair it with Meng Yehu."

Sun Lingtong: "Meng Yehu was at the Jindan level when he was alive. If I were to choose a technique, I'm afraid it would have to be at least this level, right? The price is not cheap."

Ning Zhuo's face changed slightly.

Sun Lingtong added: "I have to remind you that a large sum of money was spent on the construction of the spirit plant cabin."

"Next, we need to create the mechanism for Meng Yehu. A Jindan-level technique, even at the worst level, will cost a lot of money."

"We need to cultivate the Lingyin Willow well. The spiritual soil and spiritual liquid in the spiritual plant cabin are almost exhausted."

"Also, the amount we spend on cultivation every day is beyond the reach of most casual cultivators. It is on par with the true disciples of famous sects. Even if we add this up for three months, it is already a huge amount."

"Finally, we have Wanli Youlong! The fire essence is not enough, and we need to replenish it in large quantities."

"I stole Li Jingqing's belongings before, but compared to this gap, it's nothing."

Ning Zhuo's expression changed again and again.

The Nascent Soul level Wanli Youlong is really comfortable to use, but it consumes too much energy.

Ning Zhuo's previous accumulation in Huoshi Xiancheng was no longer enough for Wanli Youlong to sustain.

In order to advance his cultivation, Ning Zhuo consumed spiritual energy, spiritual food, etc. every day, which was converted into spiritual stones, setting a very high standard.

Think about Lingyin Willow again.

Ning Zhuo's face turned a little pale.

This is also a big consumer. To cultivate Lingyin Willow well, you have to pay a huge price!

"This kind of precious inheritance has always been raised by the combined efforts of a sect or family. It is really difficult for us to rely on ourselves."

Ning Zhuo sighed from the bottom of his heart.

He obtained a lot of spiritual resources through cheating and deceiving, no, he worked hard and planned carefully.

But compared with the demand, these accumulations are far from enough! In the short term, Sun Ning and the others can still maintain it.

But not for long.

If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. You must consider this problem now. Otherwise, it will be difficult to solve it when the problem becomes imminent.

Ning Zhuo frowned deeply.

These days, he was immersed in his special training, obsessed with the pleasure and sense of accomplishment of his own rapid progress, and did not pay attention to these issues.

After being reminded by Sun Lingtong, he immediately understood that this problem was becoming more and more serious as time went by.

If we wait until the problem breaks out, it will be too late!
