Chapter 438: Thoughts on Dual Cultivation



Red Flower Camp.

Ning Zhuo walked to the camp gate and showed his token.

"Mr. Ning Zhuo, please follow me." The guard already knew Ning Zhuo. After identifying the token, he assigned one person to lead the way.

This identity token was given to Ning Zhuo by Zhang Chongyi after his last healing.

Ning Zhuo walked to the doctor's tent with ease, entered it, and greeted him, "Senior Zhang, I am here to trouble you again."

Zhang Zhongyi stroked his beard and smiled when he saw Ning Zhuo: "Okay, my friend, take a seat here first."

After Ning Zhuo sat down, he unbuckled his belt.

He held the shrunken Wanli Youlong in one hand and showed it to Zhang Chongyi.

Zhang Zhongyi took a closer look and was slightly surprised: "It's actually Wanliyoulong."

"The last time I saw your friend suddenly appear, I thought he was hiding a military token or following the army order."

"Your wealth is truly rare."

Ning Zhuo showed half of the dragon's body to Zhang Chongyi and told him that Wanliyoulong had been hit by the spell of the Blood Shadow Cave Master and would be noticed by the Blood Shadow Cave Master as long as it approached the Thousand Peaks Forest.

"I would like to ask for your help again to help us eliminate this hidden danger." Ning Zhuo said frankly.

Zhang Chongyi first took the Wanli Youlong and looked at it in front of his eyes, occasionally pinching his fingers, casting spells, and conducting probing.

After a moment, his slightly frowned brows relaxed: "It is indeed the Blood Shadow Cave Master's Blood Mark Shadow Trace Technique."

“It’s not difficult to solve this.”

"but……"

Zhang Chongyi changed the subject and said that after all, he was no longer a Nascent Soul level cultivator, and currently only had Golden Core cultivation. To deal with the Blood Stain and Shadow Trace technique, he had to rely on external objects.

"If you have a Nascent Soul-level alchemy furnace, with some medicinal materials, and refine it for twelve consecutive days, you should be able to dispel the spell."

"Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no such alchemy furnace in the entire Canglin Immortal City."

The price of a production tool like a pill furnace is often very high. If a Yuanying-level pill furnace is of good quality, it is likely to cost a Yuanying-level cultivator most of his life's wealth.

Zhang Chongyi used to be an imperial physician, but he had not accumulated enough wealth to own his own Nascent Soul-level alchemy furnace.

"What should I do?" Ning Zhuo sighed, his eyes rolling, "What if it's not an alchemy furnace, but a furnace for refining equipment?"

Zhang Zhongyi was impressed by Ning Zhuo's sensitivity and nodded immediately: "This is exactly what I want to say. Currently, there is a Yuanying-level refining furnace in Canglin Immortal City, which is controlled by the country's master craftsman Jin Li."

"Through him, we can also solve this blood-stain shadow spell."

Ning Zhuo pondered in silence, somewhat hesitant.

He trusted Zhang Chongyi more, but he didn't know Jinli well.

He can deal with Zhang Chongyi through his Life on the Line and Buddha's Heart Demon Seal, but Jin Li is at the Nascent Soul level. If anything goes wrong, the situation will be beyond his ability to handle at the moment.

Zhang Zhongyi noticed Ning Zhuo's hesitation and said, "I know Jin Li quite well."

"He is a decent man, speaks his mind, and his words are as sharp as a knife."

"Besides, we can sign a contract to ensure that no one else knows that you own Wanliyoulong."

"But it will cost a lot to invite him. You have to be prepared."

After all, Jinli is at the Nascent Soul level, and as a national craftsman, he came to Canglin Immortal City this time with a heavy smelting task.

If you want him to find time to do private work, you have to come up with something that makes him excited.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong used their spiritual sense to communicate with each other, discussed it for a while, then nodded and said to Zhang Zhongyi: "Let's do as you say, senior."

Zhang Chongyi wrote a letter immediately.

Fei Xin crawled out of the tent and flew directly to Canglin Immortal City.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Zhongyi dismissed his attendants and spoke only to Ning Zhuo, "I also have something to ask of you, my dear friend Ning Zhuo."

"Of course, this is just a suggestion. If you don't want to, forget it."

"Just keep it strictly confidential."

As soon as these words were spoken, the curiosity of Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong was immediately aroused. Especially Sun Lingtong, who immediately pricked up his ears in the mechanical dragon.

Ning Zhuo immediately stated that he would try his best as long as it was within his ability.

Zhang Zhongyi smiled and said, "It is indeed difficult to say that this matter is difficult, but it is also quite easy to say that it is easy. Perhaps it is just a matter of your thoughts."

"However, this matter is military intelligence. Before I explain it, let's sign a contract first."

"And your friends, if you want to sit in, please sign a contract."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Lingtong jumped out of the mechanical dragon with a very positive attitude.

Ning Zhuo's expression became slightly solemn when he saw Zhang Chongyi being so serious.

The contract was concluded, and Zhang Chongyi looked at Sun Ning and the others and whispered the proposal of dual cultivation.

"Dual cultivation? Me and General Mulan?!" Ning Zhuo widened his eyes and pointed at himself. For a moment, he was very surprised.

In his opinion, this gap was too big.

"Hehehe, Xiaozhuo, this is great news!" Sun Lingtong laughed so hard when she heard this.

He really enjoyed this kind of fun.

Zhang Chongyi sighed deeply and explained the details to Sun Ning and the others.

"Mysterious Gold Armor Breaking Technique?" Ning Zhuo frowned slightly, "Perhaps, I can improve this technique to help the general."

"There is no need for dual cultivation."

"Please don't blame me, Senior. This is not because I am arrogant, but the significance of Yuan Yang to my life is extremely important."

Zhang Zhongyi nodded: "That's true, so we need to consider it seriously."

Sun Lingtong glared at Ning Zhuo and said, "Xiao Zhuo, you are not practicing Tongzi Kung like me. I have also seen the three sects' methods you practice. Yuanyang is not that important to you."

"Besides, haven't you always told me that you were dissatisfied with your slow cultivation? Now you are practicing together, but you have a Taoist partner at the Golden Core level to give you enlightenment. Your cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds!"

Zhang Zhongyi's eyes lit up slightly, he stroked his beard and smiled, "If you and I are both interested, this would be a happy event, hahahaha."

Ning Zhuo waved his hands quickly: "I am just a minor foundation-building cultivator, but General Mulan is a Jindan cultivator and is in charge of an army. If I practice dual cultivation with General Mulan, it would be too high for me."

"Moreover, the matter of dual cultivation is of great importance. We must report it to our clan's ancestors and obtain the clan's approval before we can proceed with this important matter."

Zhang Zhongyi heard Ning Zhuo's evasion, and the smile on his face faded. He nodded and said, "It involves Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin. Dual cultivation is indeed a big deal, and it needs to be carefully considered."

As he was speaking, a letter flew into the tent and landed in front of Zhang Chongyi.

It was Jinli’s reply.

Zhang Zhongyi unfolded it and took a look, slightly surprised: "Brother Jin agreed, but he asked for a reward, which was the Nascent Soul Grade treasure in the hands of friend Ning Zhuo..."

This did not come as a surprise to Ning Zhuo.

He gave a bitter smile and used the same explanation to Zhang Chongyi as before, saying that it was a family mission and that they had to trade with a certain powerful force.

Ning Zhuo thought for a while and said, "The family mission is important, but removing the Bloodstain Shadow Spell is also very important. I have decided to agree to Master Jinli's request and ask him for help!"

After Zhang Chongyi and Jin Li discussed it, they combined their efforts and came up with several ways to cut out the Bloodstain and Shadow Technique.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong discussed it and quickly made a choice.

They chose the fastest method, and for this, they had to pay a higher price. The price was not that they had to pay more, but that Wanli Youlong would be injured in many places because of the radical method.

But in order to return to the old monster in the stone as soon as possible and avoid any further trouble, this decision is undoubtedly a wise one.

Ning Zhuo watched with his own eyes as Wanli Youlong entered the refining furnace.

The furnace door closed, the flames rose up, and began to burn fiercely.

According to Jinli and Zhang Chongyi's estimates, it would take at least three days and three nights, or at most four days and five nights.

Without the Wanli Youlong wrapped around his waist, Ning Zhuo was not used to it for a moment and felt a little empty in his heart.

Although Sun Lingtong had an injury on his right arm, he still couldn't hold back. He said goodbye to Ning Zhuo and went into Canglin Fairy City to play.

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

Ning Zhuo returned to the Three Generals Camp alone, went into his own tent, and began his daily practice.

He took out the futon first.

This magic weapon was distributed jointly by three families in Huoshi Xiancheng, and it is still effective today.

Ning Zhuo then activated the Floating Cloud Handkerchief.

Ever since he used the Fire Persimmon Fairy City, he seemed to have developed this habit. He always felt a little uncomfortable without the Floating Cloud Scarf wrapping himself.

Layer upon layer of floating clouds covered Ning Zhuo's entire body, wrapping him like a big cotton ball.

Ning Zhuo took out various spiritual foods from the cotton ball and stuffed them into his mouth one after another.

Spiritual food has a shorter shelf life than elixirs, but fortunately it has no medicinal properties and can be fully absorbed by cultivators.

The spiritual food in Canglin Fairy City is mostly sweet and spicy. Ning Zhuo is not used to it yet and choked once during the meal.

He first practiced the demon-stained blood tendon technique.

The demonic light illuminated his face, making it blood red, with thin membrane-like tendons faintly visible.

In the lower dantian, there is a piece of red ground with blood veins crisscrossing, spreading and interweaving, forming a net that covers the entire ground.

After a large amount of spiritual food is digested, it is refined into essence and blood and added to the blood field, making the blood vein carpet stronger.

Ning Zhuo continued to practice the Five Elements Qi Law.

He took out the magical weapon, the tornado, and placed it close to his middle dantian.

In the Five Qi Tianshu Dantian, the five-color vortex was like a tornado, reaching up to the sky. The five-color and five-element magic powers were sometimes distinct and sometimes mixed together. Under the blessing of the tornado, the vortex accelerated its rotation, absorbing external spiritual energy and converting it into its own magic power faster.

When practicing the Mirror Platform Spiritual Communication Technique, he used the Meditation Bell.

The sound of the bells quickly made him enter a state of meditation, which continued to go deeper.

In the bright mirror of the Dantian, thoughts arise one after another, and are generated in large quantities. All distracting thoughts are eliminated and actively eliminated, and the unique mirror thoughts are combined with each other to become flat mirrors. At the upper and lower limits, there are two huge mirrors, acting as the sky and earth in the Dantian.

The most conspicuous thing in Dantian is the Buddha Heart Demon Seal.

In addition, there is the magical power of pink lotus and green leaves that makes people's lives hang in the balance.

"According to common sense, the foundation-building stage is mainly divided into six stages, corresponding to the early, middle and late stages of the foundation-building period."

"They are: opening the field without hindrance, precious medicine growing, elixir field shining, strange visions and symbols, golden light shining inside, and turning from the virtual to the real."

"The Three Sects' Supreme Law is the Supreme Law, and the content of the Foundation Building Chapter contains these six stages."

If it is an earlier practice, it may not include these six stages.

The new method is excellent. Compared with the old method, it can better enhance the foundation of the monks and enhance their power more comprehensively.

Throughout history, later generations of foundation-building monks, because they practiced new methods, were often more powerful than their predecessors before this era.

Ning Zhuo had mastered the Five Internal Organs Temple Spirit Art. This technique was too ancient, and there was no difference between the three stages before, during and after building the foundation.

If we try to count it, there is only the last stage "from virtual to real", and it is also mixed with the final tribulation and elixir formation.

Unlike today's martial arts, which separate the two, it is more refined and can be better sculpted.

"I spend three times as much time practicing as an average person every day."

"Usually, the cost of cultivation for a cultivator in the foundation-building stage every day, if converted into spirit stones, is about 1,500 low-grade spirit stones."

"The various spiritual foods I eat and the cost of the magic tools I use, my daily consumption is 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones."

"Even so, it has not yet reached a state where it is possible to open the fields without any problems. There is not even a single sign of this."

"well……"

Ning Zhuo traveled around the world and faced more and more powerful people.

Sometimes, one even has to face threats at the Nascent Soul level!

Situations like the one where foundation-building cultivators only encounter opponents who are not much different from themselves, or at most slightly higher, basically only exist in storybooks.

Reality is cruel. It will not treat you well just because you are weak. Quite the opposite is true.

Ning Zhuo really wanted his cultivation to improve quickly.

He once consulted Sun Lingtong about this matter, and was persuaded by the latter.

Ning Zhuo also knew that what Sun Lingtong said made sense, and his progress was actually very fast. For a sixteen-year-old foundation-building cultivator, this achievement was excellent in the entire cultivation world.

But Ning Zhuo still wanted to improve his cultivation! Especially this time, Zhang Zhongyi suggested that he practice dual cultivation with Mulan, which further stimulated his idea.

"I really want my cultivation to improve by leaps and bounds!"

"It's only the early stage of foundation building. There are many things I can't do. It's really too painful."

"Dual cultivation..."

Although Ning Zhuo politely declined Zhang Chongyi, he was secretly moved.

Once he and Mulan practiced dual cultivation, his own cultivation would skyrocket. In addition, Mulan's special situation would instill a lot of cultivation into him, making his cultivation skyrocket twice as much! "Losing Yuanyang is nothing, but the significance of being a dual cultivation partner is very important."

"The dual cultivation of Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin only happens once in this life. Therefore, the choice of a Taoist partner is very important, and there is only one spot available."

"After practicing dual cultivation, the relationship between the two will be very close, and the results of dual cultivation will be much higher than that of ordinary people, so it will be closer than that of a married couple."

"As the patriarch of the Ning family branch, am I going to form a Taoist couple with the daughter of the general's mansion in Liangzhu country?"

Ning Zhuo is very clear about the difference.

If Lin Shanshan had feelings for Ning Zhuo, and Hua Guzi's love for Ning Zhuo came from desire, then Mulan's consideration for Ning Zhuo was completely based on cold interests.

Ning Zhuo was not opposed to this at all. He had seen a lot in Huo Shi Xian City and also learned a lot from books.

"This is how the righteous way of doing things works." Ning Zhuo just couldn't tell whether he made a profit or a loss in this dual cultivation transaction.

Will he have a better choice in the future?
