Chapter 706 Snow Color Girl, Snow Shuyu
Ning Zhuo also found the diagrams of Ling Shuang and Aoxue's enlightenment.
He sighed. He had never had time to comprehend them.
“Hopefully there will be time in the future.”
The most valuable ones here are "Gao Sheng's Last Letter" and "The Criminal Book of the Underworld".
Ning Zhuo also spotted a Myriad Cloud Seed from the bottom of the box. This was obtained back in Huoshi Immortal City.
Not to mention the captives Lin You, Wu Hen, and Gu Mu Taoist.
Oh, and there's also a Sky Frost Ghost Mask. If used well, it can be used to fight at the Nascent Soul level!
Ning Zhuo's face showed a strange expression: "Strange, why didn't I think of using it in the battle with the Lord of Wangchuan Mansion?"
"Not only it, but also the Butterfly Lady. I seem to have forgotten about her."
"Is it just because I'm nervous?!"
Ning Zhuo narrowed his eyes, unable to understand why he had forgotten.
Incredible!
He only remembered this when he saw these things while reviewing his own assets.
Overall, Ning Zhuo's wealth is extremely rich. He cannot be said to be as rich as a country, but he can still be compared to a wealthy village or town.
The places that can form villages and towns often have rich cultivation resources. Otherwise, they will not be able to attract cultivators to gather.
But at the same time, Ning Zhuo's asset distribution is very distorted.
This can be illustrated in many aspects.
For example, as a foundation-building cultivator, he was best suited for magic tools. For a foundation-building cultivator, it was difficult for magic tools to fully exert their effects.
Foundation-building geniuses like Lin Jinglong and Chen Xi also received support from their families, which is why they have two or three magic weapons.
They are not often used in battle, but are often used to change the situation or make the final decision, bringing great help.
After all, the magic power of the foundation-building period is difficult to meet the needs of a first-level magic weapon.
Ning Zhuo has too many magic weapons, and most of them are used for cultivation. He has two defensive magic weapons, but no offensive ones.
The vast majority of cultivators' assets are invested in elixirs and talismans. The former is the most essential necessity during cultivation, while the latter focuses on cost-effectiveness and is far more convenient than practicing magic.
Ning Zhuo has the least assets in these two areas, and he has not even invested heavily in them.
He has many talismans, all of which were given to him by others. They are all exquisite and some are even spiritual.
He didn't need much elixirs because he had the National Strength Bricks! He also had a chef with him. Whether it was spiritual food or National Strength Bricks, the side effects were far less severe than those of elixirs.
After Ning Zhuo reviewed his own wealth, he became alert to the situation and muttered to himself, "Next, within the Wanxiang Sect, I will make some adjustments and focus more on elixirs and talismans."
"If I don't mention anything else, purchasing a batch of elixirs and talismans for physical cultivation will definitely increase my physical strength and solve the problem of my soul oppressing my body in a short period of time."
"The Spirit Stone reserves are too insufficient... We need to increase them!"
Ning Zhuo was a man with a huge fortune, but the battle at Baizhi Immortal City had left him broke.
After the inspection was completed, Ning Zhuo took out the Floating Ice White Jade Hand and the Weather Ball Ice Crystal Snow.
The big-headed boy smiled bitterly, "My Ning family is famous for its ice element, but I'm not very good at it."
"I'm still too weak. There's so much to learn."
"To help Yuan Dasheng out of this predicament, I may have to rely on my own family members..."
The spirituality in the floating ice white jade hands came from Ning Xiaohui, who had already mastered it and was naturally gifted with icy jade hands.
The spirituality within the weather ball, ice crystals, came from Ning Xie. She was the Ning family's patriarch in life, and after her death, she became a foundation-building ghost cultivator. Hidden as the Ning family's legacy, she possessed a natural gift of snow soul and icy spirit, and her spirituality had already reached full maturity.
With such conditions, it could have been made into a mechanical puppet long ago.
There was a reason why Ning Zhuo didn't do this before.
On the one hand, it's enough.
The Heavy-Armored Blood Ape·Dasheng and the Shadow Blade·Yehu served as the main combat forces and even performed well in the battle against the Lord of Wangchuan Mansion.
Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin is Ning Zhuo's strongest trump card!
The Floating Ice Jade Hand can be used as a means of treatment, and the Weather Ball Ice Crystal Snow can be used to arrange the battlefield and also play an auxiliary role.
On the other hand, Ning Zhuo couldn't design it.
Designing a mechanical puppet is very difficult.
Thinking back to the original Fire Monkey, Ning Zhuo privately spent a long time and invested a lot of energy and material resources. After countless improvements and adjustments, he finally came up with a relatively mature work.
Yuan Dasheng's mechanical puppet didn't come out of thin air. When Ning Zhuo designed his mechanical body, he already had the foundation of Infernape and the mechanical template from the Lava Fairy Palace as inspiration.
Even so, Yuan Dasheng's mechanical version was improved many times and eventually became the heavily armored blood ape type.
Just designing a mechanical puppet is not easy. Even more challenging is the process of constantly using it, adding to and removing parts, and constantly improving it, until it reaches maturity.
Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin used the mechanical template of the Lava Fairy Palace, which was equivalent to standing on the shoulders of the masters of the three sects.
The Shadow Blade Night Tiger was somewhat special. Ning Zhuo had been lucky during that time, and the design drawings were scattered on the ground, and they accidentally combined to form a design plan.
It turns out that this design is really excellent.
Ning Zhuo has been using this Meng Yehu until now.
Now, Ning Zhuo wants to upgrade both of them into puppet form, and he also has to face the difficulty of design.
Compared to before, he has more confidence!
There is only one reason, and that is the Luoshu page.
This Taoist tool is the source of the world's magic and numerology. With its help, Ning Zhuo can save a huge amount of time and energy. When it comes to calculations, he will definitely get the correct answer!
"We need to design and create these two puppets."
"Maybe we can use the two of them to rescue Yuan Dasheng from the ice."
"Even if it doesn't work..."
Even if it fails, it will be able to replenish Ning Zhuo's mechanical combat power in time.
In the absence of Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin, Heavy Armored Blood Ape Dasheng, and Shadow Blade Yehu, Ning Zhuo needs another mechanical puppet to take over.
The Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai is not capable of this.
Although his mechanical body is very strong and has magic weapon-level mechanical parts, and although he still has the golden elixir from his previous life and is talented, his spirituality has not reached 100%.
Moreover, because Ning Zhuo traveled abroad, his spirituality also declined a little.
Spirituality reaching 100% is a qualitative change point.
If you don't reach this point, your spirit will be worn away by time. Once you reach this point, even if your spirit is damaged, it can recover on its own.
"Boss, help me!" Ning Zhuo immediately used his telepathy to contact Sun Lingtong through the life-saving thread.
Sun Lingtong was studying the Dao of Formations with the help of the Luoshu pages, his mind immersed in it. Ning Zhuo interrupted him, and he felt helpless: "What happened again?"
Ning Zhuo did not immediately bring up the plan for the mechanical puppet. Instead, he mentioned something else: "Boss, I just checked my assets and made a surprising discovery."
"Do you still remember Tianshuang Ghost Face and Rudie Niang?"
"During the battle with the Lord of Wangchuan, I actually forgot about such precious fighting forces as them and didn't even think about them. This is very unusual!"
Forget about the Netherworld Envoy Qi Bai.
He lacks spirituality, so even if Ning Zhuo uses it, he has to control it himself.
Moreover, his combat power is concentrated in the soul path. Using him to deal with the Lord of Wangchuan or the Imperial Guards would be dangerous.
Sun Lingtong's expression became solemn, and his eyes flickered: "Xiao Zhuo, you are right!"
“It’s a little scary.”
"I knew about them both, but I forgot too! There was no way I could remind you."
"Weird, this is so weird."
"Do you think this is a matter of luck?"
Ning Zhuo nodded slightly. Sun Lingtong had guessed right, and he also thought so.
"I am the savior of Baizhixian City. Yang Tian arranged for me to come here."
"Perhaps these two things did me more harm than good, so as fate would have it, I forgot about them all."
The two discussed for a while, but to no avail.
Instead, it aroused the two brothers' strong desire for the skill of fortune-telling!
“I really want a legacy like this.”
"But my mother told me that it's very difficult to get this... Alas."
Sun Lingtong: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Ning Zhuo put forward his intention.
Sun Lingtong agreed without hesitation. He himself had some knowledge of mechanical devices, but not as good as Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo is not as good as Sun Lingtong in arranging the formation.
Sun Ning and the other person worked together on the design, and with the help of the Luoshu pages, they quickly came up with a design draft.
Ning Zhuo seemed to be following a prescription and asked the chef and Gongsun Yan to go out and purchase the relevant precious materials.
Because there were not enough spirit stones, Ning Zhuo took out three ghost golden pills and put them in the Tongshang Hall in exchange for enough purchasing funds.
Seeing Ning Zhuo had bought so many materials, Gongsun Yan had a guess in his mind and took the initiative to say to Ning Zhuo, "Sir, are you looking to refine a weapon? I am not talented, but I am willing to contribute my humble efforts."
Ning Zhuo saw Gongsun Yan volunteering, thought for a moment, and nodded gently: "Okay, I'll give you some tasks and let you refine them."
Gongsun Yan received some blueprints, his face showing a strange expression. He thought to himself, "So, Master, you want to refine mechanical parts. Do you also have research on mechanical engineering?"
"This cultivation technique is not common and difficult to achieve results. Why would you be interested in it, young master?"
"But it seems that his life-defining magic fan uses some mechanical techniques?"
Gongsun Yan was a little puzzled. In his opinion, Ning Zhuo's attainments in the Five Elements were simply unfathomable, and such a bright future was the right path.
Mechanical engineering is too niche.
However, these doubts did not prevent Gongsun Yan from giving his all.
"This is the first mission that Master has given me. I must give it my all and accomplish it to perfection!"
He checked the mechanism drawings many times and first chose the Warm Jade Wheel to refine.
Gongsun Yan's refining steps are somewhat different from those of ordinary people.
He first made a rough draft and then placed it in the furnace.
Gongsun Yan pressed his palm against the furnace wall, mobilizing his magic power and talent, which turned into a ball of heart fire, gently wrapping the rough jade wheel embryo.
Xinhuo is best at fine work. Under Gongsun Yan's skillful technique, the rough embryo of the warm jade wheel was meticulously carved out.
Gongsun Yan took out the cold steel and threw it into the furnace. Immediately, he put his fingers together like a sword and pointed it into the air.
The cold steel melted and embedded itself into the warm jade wheel, forming a honeycomb grid.
The heart fire always wraps around the warm jade wheel, and any slightly cold steel will be accurately burned and melted.
Gongsun Yan invested three kinds of precious materials in succession.
The precious materials are melted in the furnace, turning into a mixture of colors. These mixed colors fall onto the grid, forming tri-color enamel.
Gongsun Yan activated the fire in his heart, drilled into the warm jade wheel, and burned three hundred and sixty tiny holes in it.
After achieving this step, he infused his spiritual consciousness and pulled violently, pulling the enamel color along the micropores into the depths of the jade wheel.
Finally, the warm jade wheel came out.
It floats in the air, slowly rotating. The outer ring is enamelled in three colors, frost marks are flowing, and the inner ring's 360 holes emit warm smoke.
After Gongsun Yan finished refining it, his face was full of fatigue.
"This is the most refined work I have ever created."
"I wonder what kind of mechanism you can assemble with it?"
Gongsun Yan had extensive experience in refining equipment. Even though he didn't understand mechanical engineering, he had a good eye for it. He knew that such intricate mechanical parts were rare. He also used two Jindan-grade precious materials as the main materials.
This means that the assembled mechanical creation should be of the Jindan level!
"Young Master and I are both Foundation Establishment cultivators. We want to create a Golden Core-level mechanism... is this really possible?"
"Regardless of success or failure, this is a really big deal!"
Gongsun Yan rested for more than an hour and adjusted his condition to its peak.
He began to refine the next mechanical component, called the Cold Sundial Pillar.
Three days later, Gongsun Yan brought five mechanical parts to Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo checked it once and smiled with satisfaction.
He looked up and saw the exhausted Gongsun Yan. He said gently, "It's truly Heart Fire. It's perfectly suited for refining such a delicate weapon. Thank you so much. You've saved me a lot of hard work."
Gongsun Yan hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and said that he was very happy to contribute his own strength.
Ning Zhuo nodded and told him to have a good rest.
Gongsun Yan didn't see Ning Zhuo assembling the mechanism, and felt disappointed, so he retreated obediently.
Ning Zhuo took advantage of these three days to use the three major mechanism bases to create the remaining mechanism parts.
In Wanli Youlong, two puppet prototypes already exist. They only need to assemble key parts.
Soon, the assembly was completed. Ning Zhuo used his life to pull out two balls of spiritual energy and stuffed them into their respective mechanical bodies.
The next moment, the mechanical parts opened one after another, and the two mechanical puppets... came to life.
The figure on the left is six feet three inches tall, with a tall figure and a graceful posture, and is a female form.
Her body was covered with a layer of three-color enamel armor, her cheeks were snow-porcelain masks, and her black hair was woven with ice silk as the main material.
Below the pair of main arms, there are two more pairs of auxiliary arms.
Snow Girl Hui!
The mechanical doll on the right is also six feet tall, but slightly shorter than Yuki Ayame Hui.
She also possesses a female form, wearing an ice-mirror helmet with reconnaissance capabilities. She is clad in hexagonal black ice armor, its plates resembling a hexagonal honeycomb. The beast head on her shoulder is a roaring ice dragon, its eyes embedded with aurora glass, which emits a cold light when attacking.
Around her, there are always six mechanical balls floating. The balls are made of cold steel and covered with ice crystal spider webs. They can spew out cold currents and create blizzards.
Xue Shuyu, rest!
Xue Cainu Hui looked down at her hands, first her main hand, then her two pairs of secondary hands, moving alternately.
Xue Shuyu Xie Ze looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Ning Zhuo.
She bowed slowly and said in the voice of an older woman, "Greetings... Chief."
