Chapter 702 I’m Not Good at Fighting, I’m Good at Resolving Fights
Fire Heart Temple!
This was Ning Zhuo using one of the Five Internal Organs Spiritual Techniques to resolve the trouble in Gongsun Yan's Sea of God.
All the anger, irritability, etc. in his mind were caused by the fire in his heart, and had the underlying color of fire.
The Fire Heart Temple transforms the heart into a temple, allowing Ning Zhuo's consciousness to reside in the statue, increasing his control over the Fire Element and becoming the master of the Fire Element!
Placing one's own will above the Fire Element and manipulating it at will is like placing one's will above the principles of Heaven and Earth. It's no wonder that the Five Elements Divine Master incurred the wrath of Heaven and Earth because of this technique. To the point where he sought to pass on his technique, he was unable to do so and was practically unable to spread it until he met Ning Zhuo.
When Ning Zhuo uses this magical art, he can completely control the fire element in his body.
Now, when he uses it on Gongsun Yan, he can naturally gain complete control over everything related to the fire element in his body.
All kinds of anger, irritability, etc. were swept away by Ning Zhuo using the Five Elements Life and Death Fan and absorbed into his own Fire Element Heart Temple.
Then, he was severely suppressed by the statue in the Heart Temple, and could not make a single wave.
Compared to Gongsun Yan, Ning Zhuo's soul, sea of consciousness, and spirit were far superior. It was hard to imagine such a huge gap between two cultivators at the same foundation-building level.
This was originally included in Ning Zhuo's treatment plan, but when Ning Zhuo reached this step, a small accident occurred.
Talent—my self!
Ning Zhuo's third talent was suddenly triggered, and the mysterious power swept through the Fire Heart Temple in an instant, eliminating all anger, irritability, etc.!
Ning Zhuo was secretly surprised, and then a feeling of joy surged up in his heart.
He had originally intended to suppress it first, and then use other methods to eliminate these external anger and irritability. Unexpectedly, it triggered his third talent, and in an instant, the hidden danger within was completely eliminated.
Ning Zhuo thought about it for a moment and immediately figured things out: "All this anger and irritability are Gongsun Yan's, an outsider's, not mine."
"So, under the emphasis of my inherent talents, all these external things are eliminated. This is because they are not mine, but the influence of the outside world on me!"
"So, if any of the external methods that influence my mind are used on me, they will directly trigger my innate talents, greatly reducing their effectiveness or even completely eliminating them?"
This was undoubtedly an unexpected little surprise for Ning Zhuo.
Although Ning Zhuo acquired this talent, it was an accident and he really didn't know much about his own talent.
Of course he also wanted to know more, but didn't he have time?
For him, there were many more important things. When he led the Qingjiao Army back to the world of the living from the underworld, he was faced with many problems that came one after another and needed his solutions urgently.
For example, reach a new way of getting along with the Lord of Baizhi City as soon as possible to maintain the status of the Qingjiao Army in the Yinchao Black Swamp.
For example, try to buy time and get to Wanxiang Sect as soon as possible to participate in the Feiyun Conference.
For example, he secretly broke into Shuyuzhai and took away all the relics of Meng Yaoyin, providing the most solid material foundation for the healing of Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin.
After doing all this, Ning Zhuo also had the opportunity to improve his Qi Hai cultivation to a higher level.
After mastering his second innate magic, his first choice was to refine his innate magical weapon. After all, this path would significantly improve his strength.
However, studying talent was a different matter. Ning Zhuo didn't really know much about his own talent. The benefits here were not obvious, so it was naturally not something that could be handled in a limited way.
"My mysterious talent has been reminded by the Five Elements Divine Lord before, so I'll skip it for now."
"But my inherent talents and precocious talents can both be explored. It's just that the timing isn't right right now."
If talent is properly developed, it will turn into supernatural powers and greatly increase power.
The supernatural powers that Ning Zhuo possessed, which were life-threatening, played a huge role in all aspects of Ning Zhuo's practice and fighting.
"Speaking of which, I have a second magical power, the Stone Casting Earth Treasure, but I don't have much use for it."
There's nothing we can do about it.
The latter is obviously a means of business.
Although the effect of stone-cast earth treasures can make the target items undergo qualitative changes, the whole process is too slow and cannot be reflected in combat at all.
You can think of it as a more powerful, comprehensive and portable Shuyuting.
Ning Zhuo saw Gongsun Yan's burning gaze, fixed on the Five Elements Life and Death Fan in his hand, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Do you want it?"
Gongsun Yan was so eager that he nodded subconsciously.
As soon as he did this, he regretted it and was shocked, knowing that he had been severely controlled by Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo gently waved the fan: "I can't give this to you."
This is my natal magic weapon, engraved with the talismanic mark of my natal magic spell.
If it falls into the hands of others, they will be able to deepen their understanding of Ning Zhuo's innate magic by studying this talisman mark, and then comprehend part of the Five Elements Qi Law.
The natal spell is the essence of a martial art. To understand the natal spell is to understand the essence of a martial art.
Gongsun Yan's Adam's apple rolled when he was rejected, and he suddenly felt that Ning Zhuo's smile was full of mockery.
He snorted coldly, trying to appear strong, but ended up saying: "What can I do to obtain this treasure?"
Don’t blame him for being so humble. It’s mainly because the Five Elements Life and Death Fan has been of great help to Gongsun Yan!
For Gongsun Yan, a gifted heart is something that ordinary people envy but cannot obtain. But for Gongsun Yan, it is also a heavy burden.
He suffered from the fire in his heart and went astray countless times. During the entire process of cultivation, a huge amount of energy and time were invested in this.
But Gongsun Yan alone is still unable to deal with this drawback.
Therefore, he had to rely on the Lin family and the Lin family's lightning-struck wood, Chunsheng, to alleviate the sequelae of heart fire.
But it can only provide relief, and is far from being as effective as the Five Elements Life and Death Fan!
Ning Zhuo sighed, sensing the longing of a chronically ill person to heal himself. The smile on his face faded a little, and he said to Gongsun Yan frankly, "This is my life-long magical weapon, and I really can't give it away."
Gongsun Yan was stunned for a moment, then revealed an understanding expression: "I understand. You want me to join you!"
Ning Zhuo:?!
Although he had some information about Gongsun Yan, it was all obtained from Shen Xi's flying letters.
The purpose of sneaking in this time was to solve the trouble caused by Lin Jinglong. He just wanted to show his strength in private and had no intention of poaching anyone.
Seeing Ning Zhuo's silence, Gongsun Yan thought he had guessed what he was thinking.
This is very common for Gongsun Yan.
Because he was known for his natural talent and specialized in weapon refining, he was always popular. Many individuals and forces approached him, hoping for his joining.
Gongsun Yan said, "I signed a contract with the Lin family. Although I am free and can terminate the contract at any time, it stipulates a high penalty for breach of contract."
Ning Zhuo:?!
Seeing Ning Zhuo remained silent, Gongsun Yan said, "It's alright, I'll pay the penalty. I'm just short of money right now, so I can only use the magical instruments or even treasures I'll build in the future to offset it."
"Just pay me first."
Ning Zhuo:?!
Gongsun Yan frowned immediately: "You still want to tear up the contract directly?"
"That's not impossible. After all, it's not a high-standard contract..."
"But is this good for you?"
"The Lin family is very powerful. If we offend such a powerful force, it will be detrimental to our cultivation. We can't predict what will happen in the future. We might even have to meet a cultivator from the Lin family one day."
"Also, young master, you've just arrived. If you arbitrarily destroy other people's contracts, this behavior is against the right way. How will others see you?"
"You won't have a good impression of me, and it will only create more suspicion. This will be detrimental to your ability to gain a firm foothold in the Wanxiang Sect."
Ning Zhuo looked at Gongsun Yan, speechless.
He had underestimated Gongsun Yan's temperament and his own desire to cure his illness!
But it’s not Ning Zhuo’s fault. After all, the information about Gongsun Yan only came from Chen Xi’s messages.
Ning Zhuo had not expected that this mere act of goodwill and demonstration would result in... before he even said a word, Gongsun Yan had already answered on his own, quickly completing his own identity transformation.
Ning Zhuo waved his mechanical fan and said, "If Daoist Gongsun were to surrender, I would certainly welcome him."
"Please allow me..." Gongsun Yan exerted a little force and struggled.
Sun Lingtong, who was standing behind him and controlling him, relaxed his control.
Gongsun Yan knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and bowed to Ning Zhuo: "Gongsun Yan, I pay my respects to you, Master!"
"No problem, no problem." Ning Zhuo smiled and immediately helped Gongsun Yan up.
A moment later.
Gongsun Yan came to Lin Jinglong's cave and expressed his purpose of visit to the monk guarding the gate.
Gongsun Yan held a very high position and was treated with great courtesy by the Lin family, so he was immediately summoned by Lin Jinglong.
Lin Jinglong looked at Gongsun Yan with a smile and invited him to sit down and have some tea. "Brother Gongsun, if you have any requests, just tell me. If I can help you, I will definitely do my best."
Gongsun Yan nodded: "I really need your help, Master Lin."
Lin Jinglong quickly waved his hands: "Brother Gongsun, just call me Jinglong. We are not outside. There are only two of us here. How do you want me to help you?"
Gongsun Yan took out a Ghost Dao Golden Pill and said, "This is enough to offset the compensation I paid to the Lin family for breaking free from the contract."
Lin Jinglong: ...
After a moment's silence, Lin Jinglong reacted, looked surprised and puzzled, and stood up subconsciously.
He stared at Gongsun Yan: "Brother Gongsun, did I do something wrong that made you leave me?"
Gongsun Yan spoke frankly: "I just found someone more worthy of following."
"Who is it?" Lin Jinglong asked, and then his eyes fixed on the Ghost Dao Golden Pill, and suddenly he thought of the Ghost Dao Golden Pill that Chen Xi showed to Situ Xing.
"Could it be?!" Lin Jinglong suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness, but also looked at Gongsun Yan with a hint of hope.
Gongsun Yan nodded and said something that made Lin Jinglong's eyes go dark: "Master Lin should have guessed it. That's right, it was Master Ning Zhuo who recruited me."
Lin Jinglong felt unbelievable!
Chen Xi guessed correctly. In Lin Jinglong's original arrangement, one of the subordinates to deal with Ning Zhuo was Gongsun Yan.
As a result, before Lin Jinglong even met Ning Zhuo in person, one of his most capable subordinates had already defected to the enemy?
Is this correct?
You are obviously opponents!
"Good trick, Ning Zhuo, right? Really good trick!" Lin Jinglong gritted his teeth, extremely angry.
This was like a slap in his face.
If his subordinates suddenly defected to the enemy, how would outsiders view him, Lin Jinglong? Even the entire Lin family would be implicated and greatly underestimated - it would be easy for the enemy to poach them, and your Lin family would be unable to gain anyone!
Lin Jinglong looked at Gongsun Yan, forcing himself to suppress his anger, and asked, "Brother Gongsun, what price did Ning Zhuo offer to get you to switch sides? My Lin family is not poor, and we have never treated you unfairly."
Gongsun Yan shook his head. "I don't want to go into details. As for the issue of unfair treatment, I have also refined many fine magical instruments for the Lin family and fully fulfilled the contract. I have never treated the Lin family unfairly."
Lin Jinglong could only grit his teeth and say, "That's true, but Brother Gongsun..."
Lin Jinglong was interrupted by Gongsun Yan's action.
Gongsun Yan took out a flying letter and handed it to Lin Jinglong: "This is Master Ning Zhuo's tactics."
Lin Jinglong opened the letter and his anger intensified. "Fine, fine, I was just about to settle the score with you. But you came to me and challenged me to a secret martial arts rehearsal. Haha, do you really think I, the pride of the Lin family, am so easy to bully?"
Yes, it’s that easy to bully.
Lin Jinglong was filled with anger and frequently cast wood-based spells, but he couldn't get close to Ning Zhuo at all.
The wind from the Five Elements Life and Death Fan covered the entire training ground.
Lin Jinglong's Yi Wood generated thunder, which struck Ning Zhuo, but to no avail.
A defensive magic weapon flew out of Ning Zhuo's body and he easily resisted.
The quality of the defensive magic weapon chilled Lin Jinglong's heart. After trying without success, he was forced into the corner of the martial arts arena by the Five Elements Life and Death Fan.
Seeing that Lin Jinglong was about to lose, Ning Zhuo put away the mechanical treasure fan and looked at Lin Jinglong with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Lin, how about a draw?"
Lin Jinglong gritted his teeth and sneered, "That's fine."
He then took out the deed and handed it to Ning Zhuo in front of Gongsun Yan outside the venue.
This was also the reason why Ning Zhuo challenged him.
Ning Zhuo summoned Gongsun Yan and handed him the deed on the spot. After Gongsun Yan identified it, he burned it without a second thought.
Because he had already paid the penalty for breach of contract, he did not suffer any backlash.
"Goodbye." Lin Jinglong didn't want to stay any longer.
"Wait a minute." Ning Zhuo stopped him, his face showing sincerity. "Brother Lin, your family's skills are indeed extraordinary. The spring thunder you unleash is extremely swift. Fortunately, I happen to have a defensive magic weapon."
Lin Jinglong reluctantly nodded: "That's true."
What Ning Zhuo displayed was either the Five Elements Life and Death Fan or a defensive magic weapon, which made Lin Jinglong marvel at his wealth and also invisibly lowered his evaluation of Ning Zhuo's own combat ability.
Ning Zhuo immediately expressed that he wanted to treat Lin Jinglong to a banquet, continue the communication, and turn the enemy into a friend.
The idea of turning enemies into friends immediately impressed Lin Jinglong.
He is a child of a prominent family and received a lot of education when he was young. He has a vision beyond his peers and has the bearing of a big family.
To this day, Lin Jinglong still doesn't know how much Ning Zhuo offered to poach his family's customers.
"Okay." Lin Jinglong forced a smile and agreed to Ning Zhuo's invitation.
Not long after.
In Yu Heye's cave, Lin Jinglong and Ning Zhuo were both guests of honor.
Ning Zhuo shared his views on the Wood Element. After hearing the first three sentences, Lin Jinglong's face turned red.
After listening for a while, he immediately put on an attitude of humbly seeking advice.
When Chen Xi and Su Lingkou were invited to the banquet, they saw Ning Zhuo and others toasting each other and having a great conversation.
The cousins looked at each other, wondering why this scene seemed so familiar.
Ning Zhuo took the initiative to greet him: "Brother Shen is here, please take a seat."
"I'm not good at fighting, but I'm good at resolving fights."
"I invited you two this time because I wanted to resolve your conflict. Let's communicate and make progress together."
Before Chen Xi could respond, Lin Jinglong nodded: "Yes, yes."
Su Lingkou showed a look of vigilance, worried that Lin Jinglong and Ning Zhuo had secretly reached some kind of agreement: "Then how are our mountain's rankings?"
Ning Zhuo: "That's easy. How about a game of rock-paper-scissors?"
Su Lingkou sneered: "How can you be so casual?"
As a result, Lin Jinglong clapped his hands and laughed: "Brother Ning, what a good suggestion!"
Chen Xi came to his senses and said, "It is indeed a good suggestion."
Su Lingkou:?!
