Chapter 728 Ning Zhuo, I want you to be my dog!
"Come in, why aren't you coming in yet?" Lady Pan Si, who was hiding in the cave, became a little impatient.
Ning Zhuo watched the crowd crowding into the cave, but he was not in a hurry.
He rubbed his fingers subconsciously, but the mechanical ring did not move.
Ning Zhuo is reminiscing.
The intelligence he had acquired previously was of a very high level and cost a lot of money, so it was naturally related to Che Zhuzi.
Ning Zhuo himself had some vague memories, but when he thought about it now, he couldn't remember them clearly.
It's impossible for him to remember all these small details clearly.
"Perhaps, after I return, I can focus on learning this information?"
It's like a child holding a long wooden stick, poking upwards and sweeping across whatever he sees.
Ning Zhuo's learning ability has increased dramatically now. He wants to try and learn everything he sees.
He took out the intelligence jade slip directly, held it in his hand, probed into it with his spiritual sense, read it, and quickly confirmed the relevant content.
"It's Che Zhuzi."
"'Everything is possible' Che Zhuzi..."
This refers to Che Zhuzi's nickname.
In his early years, Che Zhuzi had just transformed. Because his original form was a demon insect with poor intelligence, he was often deceived.
The void spider silk produced by the Che Zhuzi's body is a very practical and precious treasure. As a result, any monk can exchange some scraps with the Che Zhuzi for it.
For Che Zhuzi at that time, he had no knowledge at all. As long as he saw something he liked or believed their exaggerated words, he would use the precious Void Spider Silk to barter for it.
This is fine, that is fine too...so, it was nicknamed "everything is possible".
Of course, Che Zhuzi has now grown into a Jindan demon cultivator. His horizons have broadened a lot, and his intelligence has also grown along with his cultivation.
Ning Zhuo pondered: "Void Spider Silk is indeed very practical."
"If I only use the Mana Silk, the range is far less than when combined with the Void Spider Silk."
"Although Life on the Line is powerful, it has its limitations as a magical power—it can only communicate with living beings."
While Ning Zhuo can temporarily imbue inanimate objects with spirituality, it's not permanent. Each use consumes a significant amount of spirituality, making it a last resort and not suitable for regular use.
"If I put human lives on the line, I won't be able to control the newly refined Yuanyin Bamboo Puppet."
"But using Void Spider Silk, it is possible. This precious material is extremely practical!"
Thinking of this, Ning Zhuo made up his mind and slowly walked into the cave gate.
"He's coming in, he's finally coming in!" When Lady Pan Si saw this scene, she was so excited that her whole body trembled and her cheeks flushed slightly.
This is obviously a space within a formation.
Square gray stone bricks are paved into a huge square.
The "sky" above my head looked like an upside-down lead container, and the gray clouds looked like dirty cotton balls, hanging low and about to fall.
The ground stretched out in all directions, seemingly endlessly. The gray bricks gradually blurred at the end of the field of vision, eventually dissolving into leaden clouds. It was impossible to tell where the horizon was, as if heaven and earth were one.
Che Zhuzi did not show up, but his voice was heard, announcing the rules.
"My fellow Daoists, welcome to the Xingyun Trial I'm offering."
"This small test only has three levels, this is the first level - Pointing at the Stars in the Wind."
"Fellow Daoists, all you need to do is activate the string or the hanging thread and hit the bright star point to win and advance to the next level."
"Start now."
As soon as Che Zhuzi finished speaking, a little star mark appeared in the distant sky.
These stars, like fireflies, are very sparse and constantly moving, leaving short dark blue lines in the air.
Ning Zhuo looked intently and discovered that observation spells could not be mobilized, obviously suppressed by the formation.
He can only observe with his naked eyes.
"The speed of these starlights is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and there is no pattern in their transfer." Ning Zhuo squinted his eyes, observed for a while, and found it difficult.
While he was observing, some monks had already started to take action.
Strands of suspended threads condensed from magical power shot out like lightning, cutting through the air.
Suddenly, a strong wind came out of nowhere.
There was obviously something strange about the wind. It blew away the magic power directly, causing all the magic threads to be abandoned halfway.
Ning Zhuo understood in his heart: "The first level is called Pointing Stars in the Wind, so it should be here."
A white-faced monk snorted coldly, waved his sleeve, and threw out a thin green vine.
The thin vine is a physical entity, infused with magical power and controlled by spiritual consciousness. It flies in the air and can withstand strong winds.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the thin vine.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, but the thin vine was very strong and stretched in the air. At most, it was blown a little bit.
But the white-faced monk's expression became increasingly gloomy.
Suddenly, the thin vine stopped spreading and stopped halfway.
The monks immediately cast their doubtful glances at the white-faced monk.
The white-faced monk's face twitched, and he still explained with indignation, "I didn't expect the distance to be so far!"
His thin vine is a solid entity and its length is limited.
Ning Zhuo used this person to try and discovered the third difficulty of the first level: "Observing this array's spatial restriction spell with the naked eye is extremely easy to misjudge."
"These stars are incredibly far away. To activate the physical suspension wire, the length must be guaranteed!"
Ning Zhuo thought about the information he had just read, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He had a guess: "No, perhaps this distance can be long or short. This formation is controlled by Che Zhuzi. He is very likely manipulating it from behind the scenes, creating the most favorable situation for him."
The monks began their own attempts.
There are quite a few monks who possess physical silk threads.
But many people are in an awkward situation. Like the white-faced monk, their strings are not long enough to reach those tiny stars.
Ning Zhuo knew that this situation was very normal.
Because the use of lifting wires and hanging threads to control mechanical creations is usually at medium distances. If it is longer, the magic power and spiritual consciousness transmitted by the silk thread will be delayed.
The longer the distance, the more interference there would be between the threads. At the same time, the huge flaws exposed would make it easy for the enemy to attack these hanging threads.
Therefore, when using lifting threads or hanging threads to control mechanical objects, the threads are usually not too long.
And Che Zhuzi's deliberate arrangement made the distance between the monks and their targets unexpectedly high!
But this does not pose a problem for Ning Zhuo.
He observed for a while, and then used the magic thread to test several times, and tested the underlying nature of the strong wind in the formation.
He designed a spell on the spot, specifically to deal with strong winds, and created a special magical thread.
Destiny - the Five Elements of Life and Death!
The magic of the five internal organs and temples!
With the blessing of the two spells, the five elements of magic power were entangled with each other like a spiral, constantly generating each other, overcoming the strong wind, and extending faster than the physical silk thread.
After many failed attempts, Ning Zhuo suddenly succeeded and successfully lit up a star, advancing to the next round.
Some people who were interested saw this scene and looked sideways at Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo was the only one in the field who reached the passing standard solely by relying on the condensed magic power.
In the darkness, Che Zhuzi froze for a moment. By the time he'd altered the formation, changing the nature of the strong wind, he was already a step too late. This made him quietly scrutinize Ning Zhuo, realizing he'd used a paralysis tactic. Perhaps some of his earlier failures had been fake, a sudden success that had evaded the change.
Ning Zhuo glanced around and found that at least 40% of the cultivators had tried several times without success and were in a state of being eliminated.
These monks were a little flustered and anxious. Some of them asked for help from the monks who had passed through and asked to borrow their physical silk threads, but without exception, they were rejected.
After all, they are in a competitive relationship with each other.
The monks who have passed the test would like to eliminate as many people as possible in the first test.
But at this time, Che Zhuzi's voice came over, and at the same time, a bundle of void spider silk appeared in front of everyone.
"You only need ten mid-grade spirit stones to rent a Void Spider Silk."
"Please remember the rules, fellow Taoists: This Void Spider Silk can only be used in the first level. It's just a temporary loan."
This made the monks who were unable to pass the test overjoyed.
Some monks snorted coldly, while some were stunned.
"As expected, he's here." Ning Zhuo had investigated the intelligence and was not surprised at all.
"The main reason Che Zhuzi arranged the Xingyun trial was to promote his Void Spider Silk."
"Therefore, the cultivators who are renting the Void Spider Silk will have a profound experience. Their performance will also leave a deep impression on others."
"Well...I'll rent one too."
Even though Ning Zhuo had already passed the test, he still rented one of the void spider silks and tried again.
This time, he only spent about 30% of the time as before, and completed it almost in one go.
Those monks who were in the situation of being eliminated were all overjoyed.
"This void spider silk can penetrate the void, so its length far exceeds that of a physical entity."
“It works great, it really works great!”
"Yes, I want to buy a few. Where can I buy them?"
"Rent? No, no, no, I don't need this little money!"
Just by hearing the shouts of the monks, Ning Zhue knew that Che Zhuzi's promotion had been effective.
Ning Zhuo secretly praised Che Zhuzi's arrangement: "Ten mid-grade spirit stones for rent is something most cultivators can afford. This price is very thoughtfully designed."
“It looks cheap, but it’s not.”
"You can only use it in the first level if you rent it. I believe similar situations will occur in the following levels."
While Ning Zhuo was pondering, he didn't know that Lady Pan Si had been observing him.
Seeing Ning Zhuo renting the Void Spider Silk, Lady Pansi laughed triumphantly, "He fell into my trap! It's not difficult at all to trick a young man like him."
"Just use your brain."
"Alas, these people of Benji are really brainless. They don't understand what detours are and what planning is!"
All the cultivators who were unable to pass the test rented the Void Spider Silk.
After all, ten medium-grade spirit stones are really not expensive!
As a result, everyone was qualified to enter the second level.
Che Zhuzi's voice came over, full of encouragement: "Congratulations to all fellow Taoists for successfully entering the next level."
“Well begun is half done!”
"My Xingyun test only has three levels."
"Next is the second level - extracting the heart from the poisonous flower!"
The formation space shook, and all the stars in the distance disappeared without a trace. Carriage-sized poisonous flowers appeared out of thin air and placed on the floor tiles, far apart from each other.
These poisonous flowers are colorful and quickly release a powdery poisonous gas.
Soon, the poisonous gas accumulated more and more, forming a series of poisonous miasma.
According to Che Zhuzi's introduction, the monks need to use hanging threads to pick out the stamens of the poisonous flowers.
Finally, a ranking admission method is adopted to allow the first half of the monks to enter the third level.
"A reminder to all fellow Taoists: we have Void Spider Silk here, but the quantity is limited, so hurry up if you want to buy!" Che Zhuzi didn't even bother to act, and directly promoted his product.
Someone immediately asked about the price.
As a result, the price increased by more than a hundred times, causing some monks to change their expressions drastically and shout "Robbery".
The Wanxiang Sect recruits members widely, so there are many ordinary monks, even people from the lower classes, who come to participate in the Feiyun Conference.
Many monks did not want to waste their money, so they immediately used hanging silk and lifting threads to shoot at the poisonous flowers.
The poisonous miasma was so powerful that it quickly corroded and dissolved these hanging silk threads.
The monks had gloomy expressions on their faces, but they were still unwilling to give up and started to use their methods.
Spell——Wrapped in black ice!
Spell - Flame Attachment.
Spell - Golden Thousand Patterns.
…
Various spells enhanced the pulling strings and hanging threads, causing their strength to surge, forming a fierce confrontation with the poisonous miasma, causing a hissing sound in the field.
Some succeeded, some failed.
Ning Zhuo watched with great interest for a while. "I didn't expect there are so many spells that can bless thread-pulling and hanging silk. There are many more than what is in the classics left by my mother."
Ning Zhuo really broadened his horizons.
Che Zhuzi was in the dark, staring at Ning Zhuo closely.
Ning Zhuo's performance in the first level amazed him. In his countless Xingyun tests, there were only a handful of cultivators who could pass the Foundation Establishment Stage simply by using their magic power.
Once Ning Zhuo uses his magic silk, Che Zhuzi will immediately operate behind the scenes to change the composition of the poisonous miasma.
But what surprised him was that Ning Zhuo did not use the Five Elements Magic Silk, but directly purchased a piece of Void Spider Silk.
Che Zhuzi provided thoughtful service for this purchase - he also gave a jade slip containing the method of using the void spider silk.
Ning Zhuo took it as a reference and learned from it. After trying several times, he successfully made the front part of the spider silk penetrate the void and extend out from a distance.
Visually speaking, the spider silk he controlled was missing a large section in the middle.
Ning Zhuo used the void spider silk to directly pass through the void, avoiding the poisonous miasma, entering the heart of the flower, grabbing the pistil, and then suddenly pulled it back.
The Void Spider Silk is also very resistant to poisonous miasma.
Even if the stamens passed through, not much melted.
Seeing Ning Zhuo's success, many monks became a little anxious.
After all, the rule of the second level is to select the top half of the monks.
Ning Zhuo was the first cultivator to purchase the Void Spider Silk, which won him the favor of Che Zhuzi but also offended most of the cultivators.
Many monks cast complaining glances at him, blaming him for being too arrogant.
Ning Zhuo had expected this and remained expressionless, as if these gazes didn't exist.
This amount of money is nothing to Ning Zhuo.
"Hahaha." Lady Pan Si in the dark was laughing happily.
She put hidden poison on all the void spider silk.
If Ning Zhuo uses it so heavily, the toxins will accumulate more and more in his body.
"Keep using it, use it hard!"
"You've been poisoned by me. I'll close the net when you reach the third level."
"When the time comes, I'll make you my dog!"
