Chapter 494 I Can't Hold It Anymore

The severe pain caused the old demon cultivator to bend over.

"Why?" The old man widened his eyes.

This was too much of a coincidence! Just when he was about to make his move, Ning Zhuo's luck suddenly increased and he surpassed him.

As for the small spell to break the qi, it depends on the level of qi of both parties.

Ning Zhuo became the strongest among them, and a small spell to break the energy worked on the old demon cultivator.

To put it in an analogy, it was like the old demon cultivator raised his hammer and tried to break Ning Zhuo's luck. But Ning Zhuo's luck suddenly became stronger, and the hammer he hit flew back and hit him on the head.

"Fortunately, I hold an official position in the imperial court, which provides me with protection in this regard. A small curse is not enough to shake off my luck."

But the backlash after casting the spell is real.

The old demon cultivator could not heal his wounds.

This is because he is currently in the stage of performing the Great Curse of Taking Away the Breath and Returning the Life, and can only perform the ritual of this curse, and cannot take any other actions. Otherwise, even if he interrupts it on his own, he will suffer terrible backlash and pay a heavy price.

The old demon cultivator panted, straightened his upper body, and began to curse again.

"Ning Zhuo's fate will never change!"

"It must have just been a coincidence."

"Next, watch my second-line Qi-breaking spell!"

The moment before.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong looked at Wanli Youlong.

The mana pool in the Wanli Wandering Dragon is spewing out a large amount of mana, infusing it into the magic circle on the dragon's body.

This magic formation is formed by connecting countless talismans.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong, who were making the talismans, were standing aside and watching, concentrating fully and looking a little nervous.

This is because they consumed a large amount of precious materials and paid a high price. If they want to do it again, they must at least go back to Jinli to buy it.

Fortunately, the magic circle was running continuously and no accidents occurred.

As the magic circle gradually weakened until it stopped completely, Wanli Youlong's body had been completely repaired.

In the place where the damage was originally, there were patches of clouds instead.

These clouds, stacked layer upon layer and densely packed, acted as the dragon scales before, providing tight protection for the dragon's body.

If you look closely, you will find that the cloud dragon scales are slowly rotating, like clouds, and in the depths of the cloud dragon scales, you can also see strands of azure electric light.

This is because the material used is the horn of a thunder dragon, so it has the element of thunder and lightning.

"This is really too luxurious." Sun Lingtong sighed.

It was the first time he saw someone pile up materials so magnificently.

"As expected of you, Xiaozhu."

“Hehehe.”

"I still remember when you were just starting to make mechanical devices, I brought you almost all the mechanical devices on the market. You criticized many mechanical devices for being crudely designed and not economical at all."

"How do you feel now?" Sun Lingtong teased.

Ning Zhuo sighed and smiled bitterly: "Boss, I'm still heartbroken. But fortunately, the mechanical ring is no longer shrinking."

"Based on past experience, although the materials used this time are extravagant, it should be the right choice."

"Let's move on to the next step."

Of course, it is impossible to achieve a thousand-mile dragon in one go.

The surface of the dragon's body is covered with cloud-like dragon scales, which serve as outer and inner armor. But in fact, there are still many weak spots.

These weak points usually have no impact at all.

Once you travel through the void, it will be bad.

Even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage can only use their Nascent Soul to travel through the void; their physical bodies usually cannot.

The pressure of traveling through the void is extremely great. The Wanli Wandering Dragon was completely integrated before, but now after being repaired, there will always be weak links.

These weak points are like the thinnest link in an iron chain, which often cannot withstand the load and are most likely to break. Once broken, a chain reaction will occur, causing the entire chain to break.

Ning Zhuo needs to detect these weaknesses and then strengthen them!

Once again, he faced a choice.

After selecting the precious materials in hand, there are two sets of plans.

The final effects of the two solutions are similar, except that one is faster and consumes more materials, while the other is slower and consumes less materials.

"I'm not short of time, so it doesn't matter if I go a little slower."

Ning Zhuo was thinking this when suddenly the mechanical ring on his finger contracted again, warning him!

"Um?"

"In other words, should I choose the faster reinforcement plan?"

Ning Zhuo did not hesitate and made adjustments immediately.

Time goes back to the present.

In the mountains and forests.

The old demon cultivator shouted in his heart: "Break the second-line Qi-breaking spell for me!"

Ning Zhuo's luck suddenly increased, and was even stronger than the old demon cultivator's own luck.

Puff! The old demon cultivator vomited blood again, half-knelt down, and covered his heart with his hands. The severe pain made his face full of terrible hideousness.

In addition to the pain, there was also intense anger.

"Again?!"

The old demon cultivator was surprised and speechless.

"Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

"No, two consecutive coincidences are no longer coincidences."

"Could it be that Ning Zhuo has already noticed that I am cursing him and is taking countermeasures against me?"

"Or does he have a unique way to protect himself from fate?"

The old demon cultivator was in hesitation.

He suddenly realized that his choice of the Great Breath-Snatching Curse was a bit too rash.

"I rashly cast a powerful curse without doing any research!"

"Now, two unexpected situations have occurred in a row, which is quite unreasonable."

“At the time, I was too angry.”

The old demon cultivator felt regretful.

Of course, it wasn't just because he was too angry.

At that time, his main consideration was: to take back Ning Zhuo's energy and return his life, so that the king's destiny would return to the right track and let the destiny flourish, which would eventually lead to Mulan following the change of this destiny and becoming Liu Er's wife.

"There's something fishy going on with Ning Zhuo!"

"Next is the three-line Qi-breaking small spell. If this fails again, the entire big spell will be a failure."

The old demon cultivator felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart.

Once you cast a great spell, you cannot stop halfway.

The fates of Ning Zhuo and Liu Er will be closely linked because of this curse, which is similar to a life-and-death fight. The loser will lose everything, and the winner will take everything in the end!

The old demon cultivator bulged his eyes, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and a terrible guess came to his mind.

"Could it be that I, who was observing the destiny, was also implicated, and acted rashly in anger, and eventually implicated Xiaoliu, and became a better person than me?!"

Fate is not so easy to predict.

Take the old demon cultivator for example, every time he makes an observation, he not only has to rely on precious treasures, but also has to pay a heavy price.

After being observed, it means that he has also been detected by Ning Zhuo's destiny. Every action of the demon cultivator will be countered by Ning Zhuo's destiny.

"No, absolutely not!"

"I'm here to help Xiaoliu, not to add difficulties to Xiaoliu."

The old demon cultivator took a deep breath and looked determined.

The third small mantra is extremely critical.

There is no room for error! The old demon cultivator, with a strong sense of awareness, took out various treasures from his storage belt one after another. Nascent Soul level, even God Transformation level!

He used these precious materials and began a new arrangement.

This was the posture he used when casting a powerful spell and giving it his all!

Magical arrays, talismans... these were engraved on the rocks and trees near him, and even floated in the air.

If Sun Lingtong saw this scene, he would definitely drool.

These treasures are too precious and rare, and their market prices are extremely high. For a Nascent Soul cultivator, stealing 30% of them can make him extremely wealthy.

There is no doubt that this is an amazing fortune!

"Hmm?" The old demon cultivator suddenly paused his fingers slightly, and noticed that Ning Zhuo's arm's energy had increased again.

The old demon cultivator felt a chill in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't rush and delayed the three-line Qi-breaking spell. Otherwise, at this rate, I'm afraid I'll make the same mistake again!"

The old demon cultivator, as Liu Er's mentor, was very alert.

After two consecutive failures, I decisively adjusted my strategy.

This adjustment was quite effective and saved him from disaster.

“It’s not over yet!”

"I have seen through your tricks. This time I will go all out and spend most of my family's wealth. I will definitely succeed in one fell swoop!"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The other side.

Ning Zhuo's face was as gloomy as water. He felt that the mechanical ring was shrinking and expanding in a very regular pattern.

This is a continuous warning! "The situation is not good, Boss." Ning Zhuo said to Sun Lingtong.

Sun Lingtong stared at the mechanical ring on his finger: "Xiaozhuo, is there something wrong with your mechanical ring? Can it really be trusted?"

Ning Zhuo stretched out his other hand and touched the surface of the mechanical ring with his fingers. He looked determined and said in a firm tone: "I trust it!"

His eyes were sharp and cold, and he said thoughtfully: "Before, I alleviated its warning twice in a row, both times by using precious materials to repair Wanli Youlong."

"The Wanliyoulong is a precious mechanical treasure. If it can be repaired, my strength will increase."

"In other words, I transformed the treasure into my own strength, so I was able to turn danger into safety."

"The Wanli Youlong has been repaired. I should look for other ways to greatly improve my strength. This should solve the crisis."

Sun Lingtong doesn't trust the mechanical ring, but she trusts Ning Zhuo immensely.

"Since you said so, what are we waiting for?"

"Let's go back to Canglin Immortal City, buy whatever we see, and turn our financial resources into our strength!"

The two of them took action immediately.

The Wanli Youlong was repaired after a huge investment. After traveling through the void, it carried Sun Ning and the others back to Canglin Fairy City.

There is a huge market in Canglin Immortal City. The market is extremely prosperous, selling magic tools, magic weapons, talismans, elixirs... There are many kinds of goods, and they are dazzling.

Under normal circumstances, there definitely wouldn't be so many.

This is because the two countries arranged this place as their rear base and deployed their national strength to build this temporary and abnormally prosperous large market.

Ning Zhuo walked past many shops and finally entered a government shop.

He entered the shop and saw many samples of mechanical devices.

In order to prepare for the war in Qianfenglin, most of the items sold in the mechanical shops are war machines, which are quite large, including crossbows, chariots, catapults, battering rams, etc.

Ning Zhuo glanced at all these without any lingering feelings.

The store manager trotted over and bowed to Ning Zhuo, "Military Advisor Ning, I am honored."

Ning Zhuo once returned victoriously with the three generals Liu, Guan, and Zhang, so his appearance is known to many people.

As for these types of institutions and shops, they have already obtained intelligence on every army and every important person.

Among these intelligences, Ning Zhuo ranks among the top.

The fact that he had recently become the husband of Mulan was kept secret for the time being. However, his identity as the chief military advisor of the Third General Battalion had already been widely known. More importantly, Ning Zhuo was in charge of the logistics of this army. All along, the purchase of military supplies had also been handled by Ning Zhuo.

So, when he saw Ning Zhuo, the store manager was very excited and began to look forward to this business.

Ning Zhuo nodded slightly: "Your store is the largest, so you should have mechanical puppets, right?"

The store manager was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Instead of buying large-scale war machinery, how much profit can you make by buying a few mechanical puppets as your personal soldiers?

Considering some possible future situations, the store manager smiled and said, "Of course! It is a great honor for us to have Military Advisor Ning visit our store. These mechanical puppets are just a small gift from me to you, the military advisor."

Ning Zhuo chuckled and shook his head, saying, "If there were only a few mechanical dolls, I wouldn't come to your shop. I can just make them myself."

The store manager's eyes lit up and he quickly extended his hand: "Master Military Advisor, please come in. The mechanical puppets in my store must be the most in the city, and the stock is abundant."

The two of them walked into the inner room. Ning Zhuo heard the sound of conversation, which seemed a little familiar, and he couldn't help but pause slightly.

Sure enough, in the inner courtyard, he saw Mulan.

Mulan, along with the quartermaster, was bargaining with the deputy store manager.

The troubles of the Red Flower Camp were over. They had received funding from the Three Generals Camp before, and they had received their military pay this morning. Therefore, Mulan brought people to buy military supplies in person.

Seeing Ning Zhuo, Mulan was also slightly stunned.

Ning Zhuo was the first to salute: "Ning Zhuo, the military advisor of the Third General Battalion, greets General Mulan."

Mulan immediately realized that Ning Zhuo was pretending and was unwilling to expose his relationship with her, and she felt complicated.

Mulan nodded slightly to Ning Zhuo, looking unfamiliar, and then looked at the store manager: "You left halfway through the conversation. It turned out that you went to entertain a big customer."

The store manager quickly apologized and begged for mercy.

Mulan smiled slightly: "That's a good attitude. In that case, let's give in a little more on the price."

Recently, she has suffered enough from not having money, so she is very frugal.

The store manager smiled bitterly and had to agree.

He led Ning Zhuo aside and showed him many mechanical puppets.

Although Mulan was talking about the price, part of his mind was also on Ning Zhuo.

Hearing that he wanted to purchase mechanical dolls on a large scale, I became even more curious.

The store manager recommended many mechanical dolls.

Ning Zhuo was doing two things at once, listening to the store manager's recommendation while using his spiritual sense to check the relevant jade slips.

"This one is good." Ning Zhuo quickly picked out a mechanical puppet.

When the store manager saw that the price of this mechanical doll was quite high, he couldn't help but smile. He praised Ning Zhuo for his good taste and asked him how much he needed.

Ning Zhuo rubbed the mechanical ring on his index finger with his thumb and asked casually, "How many do you have?"

The store manager reported a number, quite proud of his ample stock.

But the next moment, Ning Zhuo said expressionlessly: "Okay, I'll buy them all."

The store manager glared.

Ning Zhuo: "I want this one too. Give me as many as you can get."

The store manager opened his mouth.

Ning Zhuo felt that the ring was still shrinking, so he bought a third mechanical doll.

The store manager was so happy that he was incoherent: "Sir, we can also pay by installment, don't worry."

"Give it all to me, and I'll pay the full amount now." Ning Zhuo waved his hand with a firm expression.

The store manager said hello three times and quickly ordered several store clerks to pick up the goods. Soon, he handed several full storage bags to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo also paid the full amount.

The mechanical ring finally stopped and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mulan, who was standing by, witnessed the transaction with his own eyes. Although he looked calm, his emotions were quite complicated.

"Let's go." Ning Zhuo said goodbye.

When passing by Mulan, he said to the store manager, "The Red Flower Battalion and my Three Generals Battalion are close comrades-in-arms. Why don't you be more polite, store manager?"

The store manager quickly bowed to show that he listened.

Then, he said to Mulan, "General, since Lord Ning has personally asked for it, the supplies you purchased this time will be considered as gifts from our store, and we will not charge you any fees."

This time, Mulan finally couldn't hold it anymore and his expression changed significantly.

She spoke with difficulty and expressed her gratitude to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo walked out of the store with his back to her without even turning his head, and just raised the back of his hand.

"This is so cool!" exclaimed the female quartermaster nearby.
