Chapter 732: Lady Pansi: Woof woof woof!
Che Zhuzi asked Ning Zhuo what magic weapon he wanted.
Ning Zhuo thought quickly in his mind.
"I'm only at the foundation-building stage. Many magical weapons are not suitable for me. They consume too much mana."
"Actually, I already have two defensive magic weapons, but I lack a proper offensive weapon."
"But it's still the same reason - the magic weapon consumes too much mana. How many times can I use it in a row?"
The Five Elements Qi Law technique is also good at control, and its magic power reserves are not outstanding.
"So, instead of getting an offensive magic weapon, I might as well continue to use my mechanism."
"Whether it's the Heavy-Armored Blood Ape·Dasheng, the Shadow Blade·Yehu, or the Snow Color Girl·Hui, or the Snow Pivot Guard·Xie, they are all at the Jindan level and more practical than magic weapons!"
"It would be better... to get a magical tool that can be used for learning."
Ning Zhuo has always been a studious child.
However, he did not rush to answer this question, but instead asked: "I wonder what kind of magic weapon does Senior Che have?"
Che Zhuzi looked at Ning Zhuo, smiled meaningfully, and then said, "Come with me."
He turned and left.
Ning Zhuo thought about it and followed closely.
This is the main gate of the Wanxiang Sect, so it's relatively safe. The possibility of Che Zhuzi risking violating the sect's rules and framing Ning Zhuo is very small.
More importantly, Ning Zhuo’s idea was that Che Zhuzi was just a Jindan level cultivator!
Ning Zhuo, who has experienced many big scenes, is full of confidence.
He followed Che Zhuzi and came to a stone chamber.
"This is my treasure room. Many magic weapons are kept in here." Che Zhuzi's face was calm, with a hint of pride, as he introduced it to Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo's eyes were already drawn to it, and he looked around.
The treasure room was in the shape of a regular octagon, with many huge bronze panels embedded in the walls. The panels had a large number of mechanical lines and meshing gears embossed on the surface.
The dome is translucent dark blue, like glass, and is inlaid with 360 star beads, which emit natural starlight.
The ground is paved with flowing bricks, and blue light occasionally flows between the bricks, which can be directly transferred and reorganized.
Ning Zhuo recognized this type of floor tile and immediately guessed, "There must be a secret room underneath."
The treasure room was empty, but as Che Zhuzi waved his sleeves, the surrounding bronze wall panels suddenly unfolded, revealing the scene inside the wall.
Inside a bronze wall panel was a crystal cage. Several storage bags hung within the cage, each with either dimmed spiritual patterns or cracked.
There are more than a dozen mechanical spiders, although they vary in size, the largest one is no bigger than an adult's fist.
They hang in the crystal cage and climb on the storage bag, and their metal joints make crisp clicking sounds as they move.
Little by little, the Void Spider Liquid was spewed out by them and carefully filled the crack in the storage bag.
Then, the spider's tentacles tapped continuously around the crack, placing temporary reinforcement talismans.
This scene alone made Ning Zhuo stare intently for a long time.
On the other wall, next to the spider cage, was a star-shaped rotating instrument. Three bronze rings interlocked and rotated, and the star marks on the ring surface were constantly flowing with brilliant silver light.
Ning Zhuo had seen this kind of mechanical device in a book. It was used for calculations.
He subconsciously looked up at the star beads on the dome and immediately understood the basic structure of the treasure room: "Star beads are used to collect natural starlight. They serve as the light source here and are also the main consumables for the Starlight Dou Rotating Instrument."
The principles of heaven and earth are contained in natural starlight, and this is the important connotation of natural starlight.
After being consumed by the Starlight Dipper, it gains calculation power.
This calculation power drives the dozen or so mechanical spiders next door to carry out precise repairs on the storage bag.
This also explains why the starlight rotating instrument and the spider cage are next to each other - they themselves require close coordination.
On the other side of the spider cage is a mechanical creation - the Citrine Spider's Nest.
The spider's nest looks like a beehive, as if cast from amber, divided into many small compartments. Many of these compartments are inhabited by mechanical spiders.
The spider's nest emits a hazy yellow light, and the changes in light and dark seem like it is breathing.
Ning Zhuo could vaguely see densely packed prohibitions in the yellow light. "It seems to be the manufacturing method of these mechanical spiders, as well as some blood-refined mechanical techniques?"
The three wall panels in front are all magic weapons.
One is a heavy mountain shovel with a shovel head as big as a door panel. The upper side, sides and even the long handle of the shovel head are covered with large and small air holes.
Ning Zhuoguang felt a strong aura of attack coming towards him at a glance.
The other one is Su Bai Xingyun.
Clouds hung within a glazed bell. Atop the bell, a wheel spun relentlessly, releasing a whirlwind. Precious clouds were drawn in from outside, shattered into mist within the whirlwind.
The magic circle in the glass bell is always in use. On the one hand, it consumes spirit stones and adds spiritual energy to the bell. On the other hand, it exerts invisible pressure.
The spiritual energy and cloud energy in the bell were entangled with each other, creating a high-pressure environment for Su Bai Xingyun.
The third one was in a Wu Earth pond. In the center of the pond's bottom lay a tortoise shell, most of which had been smoothed out, with only about 40% of the shell's markings remaining.
Around the Wu Earth Pool, a large number of jades are placed, including Kunlun jade, Tianqing jade, golden jadeite, etc.
These jades are being slowly refined, the chalcedony is being absorbed by the tortoise shell, adding to the tortoise shell patterns on it bit by bit.
Ning Zhuo was a little unsure and asked, "Senior Che Zhuzi, could this tortoise shell be the Black Turtle Escape Armor?"
Che Zhuzi cast an admiring glance at him: "Young man, you have a good eye and are very accurate in identifying it. Yes, this is the Black Turtle Escape Armor!"
Ning Zhuo immediately showed envy.
On the one hand, he intended to communicate with Che Zhuzi, and on the other hand, it was a natural expression of his emotions.
The black tortoise was born with a way of escaping, and is very good at finding a way out of desperate situations and escaping.
The black tortoise itself is a spiritual animal that seeks good fortune and avoids evil. It is difficult to catch, so every part of its body is rare.
Tortoise shell is the most valuable treasure on the black tortoise.
It can be regarded as a natural escape talisman that can be reused many times.
Each use would help the cultivator unleash his escape technique, often allowing him to escape. The price he paid was the disappearance of a section or even a whole section of the tortoise shell's patterns.
The black tortoise shell is undoubtedly a life-saving weapon.
It can even be used several times!
Ning Zhuo was so excited about this that he almost blurted out that he chose this precious material.
Yes, it is just a natural treasure, a part of the black turtle's body when it was alive, not a magic weapon.
But for the vast majority of cultivators, the tortoise shell contains the method of escape and hides some mystery of fate, which is more precious than magic weapons!
Che Zhuzi observed Ning Zhu's expression and saw that his eyes were fixed on the black turtle's shell, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.
He clapped his hands and said, "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lady Pansi pushed open the side door and walked in.
She was wearing a purple-red dance dress, which was decorated with pearls and crystals, sparkling with dazzling light.
Her skin was a cool white, and under the starlight, her blue veins were almost visible.
Her lips were rouge-coated, plump and juicy. Her eyes were flustered, and after glancing at Ning Zhuo, they immediately drooped, her whole body emitting an air of uneasiness and nervousness.
Ning Zhuo looked at the female cultivator with some surprise, not quite understanding Che Zhuzi's intention of calling her in.
Che Zhuzi has been paying attention to Ning Zhuo: "So, you don't know her?"
This is a strange question.
Ning Zhuo glanced at Lady Pan Si for a moment, feeling doubtful: "Should I know her?"
He could sense the profound meaning behind Che Zhuzi's words and immediately asked, "What do you mean, Senior?"
Che Zhuzi pointed at Pansi Niangzi and said, "This person is my slave. You can also choose her as your reward."
Ning Zhuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he decided to try again. He shook his head on the spot, indicating that he would rather obtain a magic weapon rather than a female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Upon hearing this, Lady Pan Si's chest heaved with rage. She was very worried that Ning Zhuo would take her down and make her a slave, but when she heard that Ning Zhuo would rather have a magic weapon than her, she inevitably became angry.
She roared in her heart: "Is it possible that I, the great Lady Pansi, am not even as good as a magic weapon?!"
Che Zhuzi smiled deeply and explained, "Young man, I have a reason for suggesting this to you. This woman is closely related to you."
Ning Zhuo bowed and said, "Please enlighten me, Senior."
Che Zhuzi then explained the whole process to Ning Zhuo in detail.
"I used their tricks against me and finally figured it out. It turns out this woman went to so much trouble to lurk around me, just to use me to frame you..."
"From this perspective, I am implicated by you."
Ning Zhuo certainly didn't want to take the blame. He simply shook his head and said firmly, "I'm also a victim. Senior, didn't you find out through interrogation that it was the Ban family behind this, targeting you and me?"
In a word, Ning Zhuo pulled Che Zhuzi into his own camp.
He then went on to pierce the tiger skin that Pan Si Niang was boasting about: "The Ban family is a righteous family with a history of government and institutions. They shouldn't deliberately target me."
"It must be Benji!"
"Although this boy was born into the Ban family, he is a disgrace to the Ban family. He was born into a righteous family, but he practices magic. He has a perverse temperament and is extremely greedy."
"Madam Pansi is only at the foundation building stage. This is not the work of the dignified Ban family."
"It must be Benji!"
"It's perfectly normal for demon cultivators to make friends with demon cultivators and have fellow cultivators take action."
Pan Si Niang had previously wanted to protect herself by bringing out the Ban family as a bluff. Ning Zhuo had pointed out Ban Ji directly to relieve Che Zhuzi's inner pressure.
Che Zhuzi smiled slightly: "This is the vendetta between you and Banji. I am an innocent person and will not get involved in the fight between you young people."
With Che Zhuzi's cleverness, how could he not see through Pan Si Niangzi's bluff?
He just didn't say it, and used this incident to negotiate with Ning Zhuo to gain his own best interests.
Ning Zhuo also had no evidence to prove that Ban Ji was the mastermind behind the incident. He was just guessing, but he spoke with certainty just to drag Che Zhuzi into the water.
Ning Zhuo and Che Zhuzi looked at each other and both knew each other's strength.
The small negotiation seemed dull and boring, but in fact, the two had completed a confrontation and had a deeper understanding of each other.
Che Zhuzi pressed on, "So, what do you choose? The magic weapon, or this woman?"
At this moment, Ning Zhuo deeply felt Che Zhuzi's cleverness.
He gritted his teeth, frowned, and showed a helpless look: "Change."
The situation is clear.
Compared to the Black Turtle Escape Armor, Ning Zhuo hopes to obtain valuable information more.
Ban Ji was planning to deal with him, and Pan Si Niang must have known something about it. This information was extremely important to Ning Zhuo!
Even if Lady Pan Si knows nothing about anything, her presence as a witness will be a powerful weapon against Ban Ji in the future.
Pan Si's eyes went dark, and she struggled to speak: "Ning Zhuo, I can pay the ransom for myself!"
Che Zhuzi chuckled, "Now that Ning Zhuo has become your master, everything you own will be his. What will you offer to redeem yourself?"
Ning Zhuo was curious and asked directly, "Senior, what is the specific contract that controls her?"
"Don't worry." Che Zhuzi took the contract in his hand and showed it to Ning Zhuo, "This is a slave contract, and the terms are quite strict."
"Whatever you ask her to do, she has to do it. Even if she's reluctant, her body will be honest."
"For example... learn to bark like a dog."
Che Zhuzi turned around and looked at Pan Si Niang with a playful sneer.
"No, I won't!!!" Lady Pan Si looked horrified and reluctant in her heart.
But the next moment...
"Woof woof woof!" Her body spoke out of control.
Pan Si Niangzi's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip. After the shock and panic, endless shame and anger filled her whole body and mind.
"My, my, my dog barked?!"
Her pride was trampled upon so harshly that she wanted to bang her head against the wall and die.
"What a shame, what a shame!"
"Che Zhuzi, I will kill you. Ning Zhuo, you will die too!!!"
Lady Pan Si roared madly in her heart.
Che Zhuzi laughed and looked at Ning Zhuo as if showing off his product: "How is it?"
Ning Zhuo cupped his hands and said, "Junior will take her."
"A wise decision." Che Zhuzi was very satisfied. He raised his hand and the contract flew in front of Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo took it, looked through it carefully, and with the cooperation of Che Zhuzi, became the master of Pan Si Niangzi on the spot.
Pan Si Niang's vision went dark, and the thing she was most worried about happened. She wanted Ning Zhuo to be her dog, but ended up becoming Ning Zhuo's slave instead.
Such a cruel reality made her feel absurd and desperate.
Che Zhuzi was very satisfied.
By handing over the deed, he not only saved a magic weapon of his own, but also got rid of the hot potato of Lady Pan Si, and made friends with Ning Zhuo.
It's like killing three birds with one stone.
Che Zhuzi stretched out his hand and was about to send Ning Zhuo away, but the latter smiled and said that he was very interested in the Void Spider Silk and wanted to purchase a large amount.
When talking about business, Che Zhuzi suddenly became excited and looked at Ning Zhuo more favorably. He directly asked how much the so-called "large sum" meant.
Ning Zhuo was only at the foundation-building stage, so Che Zhuzi was skeptical about the "big sum" that Ning Zhuo mentioned.
Ning Zhuo did not answer, but continued to ask, what is the monthly output of Che Zhuzi?
Che Zhuzi raised his head slightly. "I produce nearly twenty strands of Void Spider Silk every day. Each one is guaranteed to be a precious material of the Golden Core level!"
Ning Zhuo suddenly showed a look of surprise: "I only heard that you are a loner. Could it be that you have family members or close relatives?"
Che Zhuzi laughed heartily, with a proud look on his face, and raised his head slightly: "Only me!"
After castration, production capacity increased seventeen times!
The capacity problems of the past are no longer there.
It feels so good.
Ning Zhuo's doubts directly hit Che Zhuzi's sore spot, making him even more certain of his own wisdom and bravery.
He likes Ning Zhuo even more!
