Chapter 713: Magic Skills Are Really Not Suitable for Me
After discovering that it would take time and effort, Ning Zhuo felt that there was no need to rush.
He took the initiative to end this practice.
Qing Chi was reluctant to leave and asked Ning Zhuo when the second game would be held.
When she learned that there would be one every day, she smiled sincerely.
Ning Zhuo told her to practice what she had learned today and to keep the fact that the robot was learning talismans strictly confidential.
Qing Chi nodded heavily and swore immediately.
Ning Zhuo naturally trusted her very much.
In terms of trustworthiness around Ning Zhuo, Sun Lingtong was definitely the most trusted, with no one to challenge him. The next best person was Qing Chi.
Next is Gongsun Yan, and then the chef.
After all, Gongsun Yan needed Ning Zhuo's help, so this natural basis of trust was far greater than that between him and the old chef.
The degree of trust between the old chef and Wen Ruanyu was similar: the former was grateful and repaying favors, while the latter admired Meng Yaoyin deeply.
Ning Zhuo put Xue Cainu Hui in the training room and let her continue to practice making talismans.
Every time she made a talisman, even if she had no competitors, she would feel proud as long as she succeeded.
Ning Zhuo has determined that as long as there is no strong interference from the outside world, as long as a mechanical puppet like Xue Cainu Hui learns to make a certain talisman, the success rate of making talismans in the future will be 100%!
"But the talismans she made were actually low-grade ones."
"There is still huge room for improvement."
Making talismans is like refining elixirs, with different grades of talismans. A cultivator with profound talisman-making skills has a much higher chance of making high-quality talismans than an ordinary person.
In this aspect, Xue Cainu Hui exposed the weakness of the mechanical puppet - currently it can only guarantee the lowest limit, that is, it can only produce low-grade talismans.
Ning Zhuo was not anxious: "Making talismans is also about understanding spells and so on. For example, I only make talismans of the five elements. As long as I am proficient enough, I will most likely be able to make a high-quality talisman."
"Of course, it is limited to the talismans at the foundation-building level."
Although Jindan-level talismans can be made, Ning Zhuo is limited by his cultivation level and his success rate is not high. The ones he makes are basically of low quality.
Of course, this is also related to his skill in making talismans.
If the skills are improved, the quality and success rate of making talismans of higher levels will also increase significantly.
For monks who have mastered master-level skills, it is common to produce a higher level!
After arranging Xue Cainu Hui, Ning Zhuo took out Xue Shuyu Xie to have a look.
Supernatural power—life hangs by a thread!
Ning Zhuo immediately confirmed that Xue Shuyu Xie had not yet reached the Spiritual Movement Stage. Furthermore, from his perspective, he still had some distance to go.
Ning Zhuo couldn't help but compare Yuan Dasheng and had some speculations: "Spiritual progress seems to be related to talent!"
"Yuan Dasheng possesses immortal talent and a strong character, so during the Spiritual Movement Stage, his emotions are the most intense, and the duration of his journey is also shorter."
"Ning Xiaohui is a gifted woman with hands as smooth as ice and jade, so once she entered the robot's body, she quickly reached the spiritual stage. Her emotions aren't very intense, so it will take some time for her to express them, so it's a relatively safe approach."
"Ning Xie's talent is only that of the lower-level Snow Soul and Ice Spirit. I'm afraid it will take him a little longer to enter the Spirit Movement Stage."
"How can I get her to advance?"
"Should we adopt a mechanical body that is more suitable for the Snow Soul and Ice Soul?"
Ning Zhuo has more fantasies.
“That’s another key issue.”
"That is how to nourish the soul!"
"Can I find relevant texts from the Wanxiang Sect?"
"This involves spiritual secrets. Would it be taboo for me to directly seek them out? And what are the specific risks of being noticed by someone with ulterior motives?"
Ning Zhuo had long been aware of the enormous risks inherent in his Cremation Prajna Sutra. Once exposed, his situation would be extremely dangerous.
The "Spiritual Theory" issue had already posed a risk. Further research would only lead to serious consequences if we encountered powerful enemies.
"We have to find a safe way to do it."
"It's better for me not to go out myself and let the boss do this."
"His disguise is much better than mine!"
When Sun Ning and Sun Lingtong went out for a walk, they had already agreed that one would be in the light and the other in the dark. Ning Zhuo would be in the light, while Sun Lingtong would be in the dark.
According to the position, Sun Lingtong should be responsible for this kind of thing. He is more suitable than Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo put away Xue Shu Yu Xie and used his life as a pretext to contact Sun Lingtong and inform him of the plan.
Sun Lingtong agreed without hesitation, "Okay, that's no problem on my end. We just need to find the relevant classics first. Perhaps it would be more convenient for us to teleport out to a fairy city and purchase them directly from the Quanshulou."
Ning Zhuo's eyes flickered. "Any immortal city is heavily fortified, making it very easy to leave traces. If you want to choose this option, why not choose Baizhi Immortal City? There's the Quanshu Tower there."
Sun Lingtong shook her head, disagreeing, "No! We also have assets there. The Qingjiao Army is in our hands, and the current Lord of Baizhi City needs us. Although it was a coincidence, we also risked our lives to open up this foundation."
"Even if we can't make it in Nandou Country in the future, this place will still be our big retreat."
"Don't take risks in White Paper Fairy City. Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows."
Sun Lingtong has a deep thief's nature and is very sensitive to the layout of the safe house.
Ning Zhuo was convinced: "That's right. Let's find an opportunity in the future. Raising the spirit is not an urgent matter at the moment."
"Boss, how are you studying the magic talisman on the tiger demon's corpse? And what about the school notes that Chen Xi gave me?"
Before, when he and Sun Lingtong had a secret exchange, he gave these two items to Sun Lingtong for research.
Ning Zhuo also told Sun Lingtong the whole process of his feud with Pi Fujie.
Sun Lingtong: "We've studied the magic talisman. It's consistent with the intelligence. The Pi family used the skin of the monks as material, using techniques related to paper-making to carve the talisman."
"The relevant talismans need to be engraved on a living body, so conventional materials cannot be used."
"So, they chose to use souls as the main material. The closer the soul's type and attributes are to the object of the talisman, the more suitable the talisman will be for the target."
"The two magic talismans, one increases defense and the other increases overall speed, are consistent with the information you provided."
"But they all use very different talisman-making techniques, and they are so seamlessly integrated that it's difficult to find the entrance to understanding them at first."
“Even if I get the help of the Luoshu pages, it will still be the same.”
Sun Lingtong said this and changed the subject: "It is Chen Xi's school notes on the Nine Palace Formation. I learned it very quickly with the help of the Luoshu pages."
"At this point, I've already understood most of the content. Can I teach you?"
If Chen Xi were here, he would definitely be shocked.
Sun Lingtong's understanding of formations is quite high.
Ning Zhuo shook his head: "I'd better take a look at it myself first and rub the pages of the Luoshu. When I have the results, I will discuss and exchange ideas with you, Boss."
If there is enough time, Ning Zhuo would rather comprehend it on his own and exercise his comprehension ability.
Sun Lingtong had reminded him of this as early as when they were in Wuyin Mountain.
Ning Zhuo is an obedient and good boy. He always keeps Sun Lingtong's advice in mind and actively puts it into practice.
Sure enough, when Sun Lingtong heard Ning Zhuo's choice, he nodded repeatedly with satisfaction in Shuyuzhai.
After cutting off contact, Ning Zhuo began his daily practice.
He first used the Fetal Breathing Spirit Boat to cultivate his body. Now, the pressure exerted by millions of human souls on his body had been largely relieved.
The main force is the fetal breathing spiritual boat, and the chef's spiritual food is just a supporting role.
Then, Ning Zhuo once again tried to figure out the Demonic Blood-Dyeing Tendon Technique.
He was never satisfied with the speed at which he could comprehend this technique, even though he gained something every time he tried to comprehend it.
At the stage of planting the talisman with strange visions, he is now stuck in the Dantian below the sea of essence.
"I am kind by nature and a person of the righteous path. I am very talented in practicing Buddhism and have always enjoyed helping others."
"For the sake of the innocent citizens of Baizhi Immortal City, I will risk my life and fight the God-Transformation-level Lord of Wangchuan Mansion."
"With my personality like this, this magic skill really isn't suitable for me!"
"Alas, the red flower seal is still there. If Lin You can provide another magic skill, it can also give me some reference."
"Perhaps, I should purchase some magic skills from the Wanxiang Sect. Let the boss do it..."
Ning Zhuo was looking forward to Lin You because he had witnessed the methods of the Demon Heart Cave Master with his own eyes and had a strong feeling that this technique could help him.
But Ning Zhuo had no idea about the other magic skills.
There must be some magical skills, and the principles contained in them are similar to those of the Magic Blood-Stained Tendon Skill.
But here comes the problem.
On the one hand, Ning Zhuo didn't know how to select these magic skills. This would inevitably take a lot of energy and time to do.
This cannot be entrusted to others, after all, it concerns one's main cultivation method.
On the other hand, the Devil Blood-stained Tendon Technique was a top-tier technique. For a technique to be of reference value, it must be of a very high grade and very expensive.
Ning Zhuo knew without asking the price that the cost of purchasing these skills must be huge!
With my status as a nobody, I'm definitely not qualified to buy anything from Quanshulou!
This is another layer of trouble.
The same is true within the Wanxiang Sect.
Ning Zhuo estimated that only if he became a true disciple of the Golden Elixir would he have the possibility of obtaining this level of martial arts.
From this point of view, the great value of the Lava Fairy Palace can also be proved.
Before her death, Meng Yaoyin gave two-year-old Ning Zhuo many instructions and told him to keep a close eye on this opportunity. There was a reason for this.
After practicing like this for two days, Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo secretly handed over again.
Ning Zhuo took back the tiger demon's corpse and Shen Xi's school notes jade slips.
Sun Lingtong had already processed the tiger demon's corpse, removing its tendons, skin, and viscera, and dissecting its flesh, blood, and bones. This could be sold or used as materials for future alchemy, weapon refinement, formations, talismans, and even mechanical devices.
The tiger demon's soul was also firmly sealed by a talisman.
This talisman is called the Soul-Dwelling Talisman, and it is a talisman-making method developed by the Soul-Devouring Sect. After Ning Zhuo obtained almost all of Tianshuang's wealth, he found a large number of soul cultivation classics.
Sun Lingtong usually hides in the Mechanical Dragon. In addition to honing his own cultivation, he also uses his spare time to study some things.
The Soul-Dwelling Talisman was relatively simple, so Sun Lingtong learned it easily.
"This talisman can only store the soul temporarily. Over time, the soul will easily dissipate, become incomplete, and its quality will decline." Sun Lingtong specifically noted.
Tianshuang's family originally had jade bottles that stored souls, but these things were all used up by Ning Zhuo as food for building an army.
Sun Ning and his partner never regretted this move.
These magical instruments and treasures, such as jade bottles, are only auxiliary supplies and are items of the Heavenly Frost. Refining them would be very time-consuming. The Heavenly and Earthly Ghosts are no ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators!
Moreover, the Qingjiao military plan is a major one, which concerns life and death, so it is only natural to devote all our efforts to it.
Ning Zhuo nodded: "In the next martial arts performance, I'm afraid we will collect more souls. We need to prepare some jade bottles in advance to collect them."
"But I'm a righteous person, so it's not convenient for me to come out and buy it."
Sun Lingtong laughed and took the initiative to answer: "It's no big deal, I'll just buy it."
Ning Zhuo nodded again: "Yeah!"
The tiger demon's corpse was properly processed, and the most valuable thing was undoubtedly the tiger skin.
This tiger skin has the Blood-Burning Galloping Talisman and the Thousand-Scale Skin Talisman, and it is quite complete. As long as magic power is infused into it, it can still be driven.
This is all thanks to Xue Cainu Hui's freezing, which ensured the tiger demon's corpse was in perfect condition.
"So, this can be considered a magic weapon." Ning Zhuo tried to infuse magic power into it, and saw the tiger skin quickly fill up and become one, falling to the ground, and then the man stood up and turned into the appearance of a tiger monster.
The tiger skin is lifelike, as if a tiger demon has been resurrected.
"Paper-folding..." Ning Zhuo realized that he could indeed feel the profound paper-folding skills contained in it.
After all, he had come into contact with Xuansu Scholar and the paper man army he secretly arranged in the underworld.
Compared with the plain and simple paper army, this tiger skin is full of strong blood and demonic energy, and its momentum is more obvious, showing its edge.
"My mother was also good at paper-making, but unfortunately she didn't leave me any relevant books."
"If that giant paper statue in White Paper Fairy City hadn't burned down, I would have a new Nascent Soul-level combat force on hand. What a pity!"
"If I have the chance, I would also like to learn paper-folding."
In fact, Ning Zhuo wants to learn everything.
As long as the tiger demon Zhapi has enough mana, he can fight at the peak of the foundation building stage. This is an unnecessary supplement to Ning Zhuo's fighting power.
Ning Zhuo put them all in his storage belt, then picked up Chen Xi's school jade slip and began to study it.
According to Sun Lingtong, he had already comprehended most of the contents of this jade slip. The Shen family of Jiugong Immortal City did possess many unique characteristics, but the truly valuable knowledge was not covered in the jade slip.
Sun Lingtong thus reminded Ning Zhuo: "This should be the fishhook that Chen Xi left for you."
Ning Zhuo had already expected this and just smiled slightly.
He immersed himself in his research and soon lost track of time.
When he was groggy, he finally came to his senses and realized that half a day had passed.
Ning Zhuo looked at the jade slip in his hand and smiled bitterly: "This school notebook already has rich annotations and explanations, but I can only understand 30% of the content."
"This is the result of using the Luoshu pages."
"Boss's strength in formations is much stronger than I knew before."
Ning Zhuo was first struck by Qing Chi's talent in making talismans, and then he praised Sun Lingtong's understanding of formations, feeling inferior to him.
If Chen Xi knew about this, he would be horrified and ashamed. Even though Ning Zhuo had the help of the Luoshu pages, the level of understanding he displayed was far superior to his own!
