Chapter 691 Give Me a Chance to Repay My Favor
Become obsessed!
In an instant, Ning Zhuo realized Yu Heye's condition.
This was really beyond his expectations.
He just wanted to get Yu Heye's attention.
To be precise, it is only a certain degree of attention.
Yu Heye is in the late Jindan stage. The biggest advantage of "Reverse Five Elements Magic Art" is combat, which is Yu Heye's strongest point.
If Ning Zhuo wants to defeat him, he will have to reveal some of his cards.
Why bother?
Ning Zhuo would not easily expose his combat power unless it was necessary.
There are other means of attracting attention, such as the Five Elements Realm.
As luck would have it, Yu Heye was practicing the "Five Elements Reverse Magic Art," which of course fell under the Five Elements realm. Leveraging his Five Elements realm advantage to draw Yu Heye's attention was far more effective than simply performing a martial arts demonstration.
Yu Heye's Five Elements realm is obviously not that good, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a predicament.
From the beginning to the end, Ning Zhuo would not personally participate in the martial arts performance.
Avoiding the enemy's strengths and attacking their weaknesses is the key to tactics!
Ning Zhuo would not fully reveal his superior Five Elements Realm. There was no need to do so. It would be enough to attract Yu Heye's attention and cause him to change his attitude.
Ning Zhuo asked for advice and first inquired about Yu Heye's specific situation.
On the one hand, he was only studying the "Reverse Five Elements Magic Art", which was just theoretical knowledge without any actual practice experience. On the other hand, he wanted to gain a deeper understanding of Yu Heye's specific situation.
Ning Zhuo was lucky enough, as Yu Heye did not hide anything from him and told him the truth.
Ning Zhuo successfully discovered that Yu Heye had the deepest attainments in the fire and wood elements, followed by the wood element, and finally the metal and earth elements were very poor.
If you want to show the advantages of your own realm without offending others and make them listen attentively, the first choice is to benefit others.
Just by giving some appropriate suggestions to Yu Heye on his practice, Yu Heye would benefit and would have to admit Ning Zhuo's strength.
This is a very difficult task for most monks, but it is much easier for Ning Zhuo.
Who made his Five Elements realm so profound?
Of course, there was a limit to how advanced one could be. Ning Zhuo could create spells on the battlefield, but he wasn't qualified enough to create a Five Elements technique.
The difficulty of the two is very different.
Therefore, Ning Zhuo made preparations in advance - he bought the "Reverse Five Elements Magic Art".
This magic skill was very simple. Ning Zhuo understood the principle at a glance.
Ning Zhuo also practiced the "Five Elements Qi Law". The advantage of this top-notch skill is that it can balance and harmonize the five elements of magic power. It can also continuously transform the single element of magic power through the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint, achieving the effect of doubling or reducing it.
With these foundations, Ning Zhuo, after learning about Yu Heye's specific situation, devoted all his energy to thinking and came up with an improvement plan.
It is equivalent to giving Yu Heye a patch based on his situation.
Analyze the specific situation and then solve it specifically.
This patch is only suitable for Yu Heye and has no universal value. Therefore, it is still far from truly improving this "Reverse Five Elements Magic Art".
Yu Heye was so excited and ecstatic that he inevitably immersed himself in it.
He is so happy!
The problem that had been bothering him was solved at this moment.
Moreover, this solution is so unique and wonderful, it really suits him!
Of course. How could the patch Ning Zhuo had tailor-made for him not fit?
Although Yu Heye's Five Elements realm was uneven and far inferior to Ning Zhuo's, he was a practitioner of the "Reverse Five Elements Magic Art" and had a solid foundation in the Five Elements realm. Therefore, he recognized the rationale behind Ning Zhuo's improvement plan—it was correct.
“That’s right!”
“Yes, it can be done! It really can be done!”
The genuine joy filled Yu Heye's heart, making him forget everything else and unable to help but give it a try.
Once I tried, I failed.
To a certain extent, this patch was equivalent to reconstructing the flow of mana within Yu Heye's body. There was a lot to prepare in advance, and more practice was needed. Yu Heye had been too reckless.
But Ning Zhuo could understand him very well.
Because Ning Zhuo also had a very similar experience.
He accidentally discovered the "Great Method of Natural and Naturally Nourished Fetal Breathing" from the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat, and could not help but comprehend it, forgetting the fact that his fellow practitioners in the Three Seas all had their main cultivation methods.
This caused him to suffer backlash and be seriously injured.
At that time, he was too eager to revive his mother. (Ning Zhuo still didn't understand the main reason for his declining luck.)
Yu Heye was also very anxious.
The pressure he faced was as heavy as a mountain, almost a desperate situation, and he had to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
This patch will greatly improve his condition, increasing his chances of a breakthrough by at least 30%. How could Yu Heye not be ecstatic?
In ecstasy, one loses oneself.
"I'm going to die!" Yu Heye's mood fell from the clouds to the mud in an instant.
Most cultivators would have fought hard, but Yu Heye had been possessed too many times and was overly experienced in this area.
Therefore, he immediately faced the reality and realized that this desperate situation was a dead end and there was no way to save him.
"I never thought I would die in this way!" He fainted.
Ning Zhuo frowned deeply!
If Yu Heye really died, it would be troublesome.
Ning Zhuo's most urgent need at the moment was to enter his mother's cave. Therefore, he had to start from this peak, taking a shortcut and avoiding the long and time-consuming formal route.
If Yu Heye died, this matter would become a big deal.
The Wanxiang Sect encourages monks to resolve disputes through martial arts performances, rather than this kind of thing.
This easily led to suspicions that Yu Heye had been assassinated. His death would inevitably trigger an interrogation and investigation by the Wanxiang Sect, which could easily lead to complications.
As for Chen Xi, he is just a bonus and has room for development, but at present, he is more of a disguise and is dispensable.
Ning Zhuo snorted in his heart: "Going astray?"
"I won't allow you to go astray in front of me!"
He stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers, and used his magic power to capture the air.
He took Yu Heye into the palm of his hand, holding his head with his five fingers as if holding a ball.
Yu Heye had completely fainted and was motionless.
Supernatural power—life hangs by a thread!
Ning Zhuo observed Yu Heye's internal condition and discovered that lava was gushing from the Heart Palace, poison ivy was piercing the Liver Palace, stagnant water was eroding the Kidney Palace, golden blades were dancing wildly in the Lung Palace, and the foundation of the Spleen Palace was collapsing! The five elements of magic power, essence and blood were in an extremely chaotic state, entangled with each other, and a tangled mess.
If this continues, it will only take a few breaths of time to affect the Reverse Five Elements = Golden Elixir, causing it to self-destruct, and the entire cave and mountain will be annihilated in the explosion.
The power of the golden elixir's self-destruction is quite strong.
This is especially true for a Jindan like Yu Heye who is good at fighting.
At that time, Qing Yan's self-destruction of his golden elixir was even able to block the space storm for a moment, buying Ning Zhuo and Qing Chi the most crucial time to escape.
Ning Zhuo snorted again, his consciousness flooding Yu Heye's body. Simultaneously, the lifeline pierced through him, landing directly on the Ni Wu Xing Jin Dan.
The next moment, he directly controlled the golden elixir and burst out a violent five-element magic power.
The magic power rushed around, causing massive injuries in Yu Heye's body.
Yu Heye's mouth was bleeding and his injuries were serious.
But the effect of fighting violence with violence was immediate, temporarily stabilizing his condition, easing the crisis, and buying enough time.
Ning Zhuo carefully controlled and began to carve it meticulously.
Yu Heye did not resist at all. He simply put his reasoning into practice and started a new cycle of magic power directly in his body.
Sweat gradually seeped out of Ning Zhuo's forehead. His energy was rapidly depleted from his intense concentration.
After a moment, Ning Zhuo exhaled and slowly withdrew his hand.
His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were like cold stars, and he secretly rejoiced: "This is the first time I have controlled someone else's golden elixir like this."
"The Reverse Five Elements Golden Pill is difficult to control. The mana it spews out is naturally mixed with the five elements, and there is no way to finely control the flow."
“Thank goodness I have similar experience…”
Ning Zhuo's experience comes from the Five Elements Golden Elixir Wheel.
This mechanical component is the core of the Cang Tie Han Jia. Ning Zhuo had lost several of them in the battle with the Lord of Wangchuan.
Frequent use in life-and-death battles has also given Ning Zhuo a lot of experience in utilizing the golden elixir.
These experiences helped him to control the Anti-Five Elements Golden Elixir with great difficulty and barely achieved his desired goal.
Ning Zhuo took out a cushion and immediately sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. On the one hand, he was resting himself, and on the other hand, he was secretly reviewing his thoughts, memorizing his experiences and inspirations in his heart.
This practice gave him new ideas about the Five Elements Golden Elixir Roulette.
He will now keep the idea in mind and explore it in depth when he has the opportunity.
"Perhaps we can improve the Five Elements Golden Elixir Wheel!"
After a cup of tea, Yu Heye, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened his eyes.
"What's wrong with me?"
"pain!"
"Wait, wasn't I dead?!" He suddenly widened his eyes and sat up with his upper body.
The sharp pain made him gasp.
He subconsciously looked inward and found that he was seriously injured!
But he was ecstatic.
Because he discovered that the desperate situation of the Five Elements' chaos before his fainting had completely disappeared. A new cycle had been established, revolving around the Reversed Five Elements Golden Pill and running on its own.
The fatal crisis was averted.
"I'm still alive! I'm actually still alive!"
His gaze suddenly fixed on Ning Zhuo.
Only then did he realize that he was lying on the ground, while Ning Zhuo, a small foundation-building cultivator, was sitting in his seat, drinking tea and reading the jade slips of martial arts on his bookshelf.
Yu Heye blinked a few times and looked at Ning Zhuo with a look of surprise and doubt: "You saved me?"
Ning Zhuo cast his gaze towards him, his expression indifferent, and only uttered a nasal sound: "Hmm?"
Yu Heye's expression froze, and he suddenly woke up in shock.
He endured the pain and stood up with all his strength. With a solemn expression, he bowed to Ning Zhuo and said, "Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo, for saving my life, I am deeply grateful and will never forget it!"
He wondered in his heart: Was it Ning Zhuo himself, or was there another expert helping him?
"Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Can he resolve the danger I just faced?"
"It's more likely that there's an elder lurking around him. The words he used when communicating with me before were most likely instructed by an elder."
Yu Heye had just fainted, completely unaware of the outside world. Given his life experience, it was hard for him to imagine that Ning Zhuo had single-handedly saved him from such a desperate situation.
But no matter whether it was the elders or Ning Zhuo himself who took action, they were all his saviors.
Yu Heye maintained the posture of bowing and thanking, and spoke again to express his willingness to repay Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo was secretly satisfied that Yu He was a barbaric and sensible person.
This was not unexpected to Ning Zhuo.
He had previously analyzed Yu Heye's temperament during his intelligence research. Yu Heye's conflict with the main peak had led to years of repression. This life experience had taught him many lessons, giving him a strong sense of self-awareness and a good understanding of the rules of conduct.
If he really didn't care and acted according to his mood, he would have sought his own death long ago and would not have reached this point today.
It was because Ning Zhuo had such an understanding of Yu Heye that he decided to help him when he was unconscious.
"You do need to repay me." Ning Zhuo first threw out a divine contract, "But before that, you must sign it first."
Yu Heye's heart sank, thinking it was some kind of slavery contract.
But he admitted it!
As a result, after checking, he found that it was just the simplest confidentiality agreement.
He signed the deed immediately.
Ning Zhuo smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu Heye, I have no interest in the mountain you chose. I didn't know about it beforehand."
"Originally, I wanted to take ten mid-grade spirit stones, leave here, and rent another cave."
"It's better to have less trouble than more."
"I'm new here too, and I don't want to make enemies easily."
"But if anyone wants to see Shen Xi, come to me and tell me..."
Ning Zhuo's request for the seal was used as an excuse.
Yu Heye immediately accepted it and nodded repeatedly: "I've heard of the Shen family of Jiugong Immortal City a long time ago. They are a family founded on formations and are well-known throughout Feiyun Country. They are very impressive."
"Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo is young, but he has also achieved extraordinary things. It is perfect for him to communicate with a genius like Shen Xi!"
Having said that, he clasped his fists again and said, "Then Yu will pack his bags immediately and move out with his subordinates."
Ning Zhuo laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, "No need, no need. This is too ostentatious."
"I'm new here and don't want to be too prominent. I'd better wait and see how the situation develops."
Yu Heye understood and nodded again, indicating that he was willing to follow Ning Zhuo's arrangements.
Ning Zhuo said, "Since I've left, I won't be coming back. You and I can keep today's events strictly confidential."
"I need you to entertain the cousins, Chen Xi and Su Lingkou. During the banquet, you can talk to me and act as equals."
Yu Heye was stunned again.
I didn’t expect that the request Ning Zhuo proposed would be so easy!
Yu Heye, on the other hand, felt the pressure. He first expressed his willingness to actively cooperate with Ning Zhuo, but then cautiously stated that such an arrangement would make it impossible for him to repay the favor of saving his life.
Ning Zhuo smiled at him, "The dispute between you and me is as insignificant as dust. If it weren't for Chen Xi... do you think I would be entangled here? If you hadn't died in front of me, it would have caused a lot of trouble and attention, and I wouldn't have helped you."
"This is my honest opinion, please don't blame me."
Today, even though Ning Zhuo is only at the foundation-building stage, he has enough confidence to be on par with Jindan cultivators like Yu Heye.
Yu Heye opened his mouth to speak, but he had his own insistence.
Seeing this, Ning Zhuo said, "How about this. I'll arrange for some of my subordinates to temporarily station themselves on your mountain. It's not very convenient for you to stay with me for now. You make a list of the caves here, and I'll select a few."
Yu Heye had no doubts and agreed immediately.
At this point, Ning Zhuo’s real purpose has been achieved.
Not long after, Fei Xin reached Shen Xi.
Chen Xi was discussing the arrangement of a formation with Su Lingkou. After reading the letter, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo, it's done."
Su Lingkou probed his spiritual sense: "Yu Heye invited us to a banquet and named Ning Zhuo as a guest. How did Ning Zhuo... do it?"
Chen Xi quickly reviewed Ning Zhuo's actions in his mind: "It is very likely that he asked some elders to come to him. This person must be from a prominent family!"
