Secret underground base.
A huge pool of blood, like a coffin, was hung on the ceiling beam of the room.
A thick metal pipe extends from the blood pool.
The pipeline is connected to a huge blood oil bottle, which is filled with turbid blood essence and appears black and red in color.
From the bottom of the blood oil bottle, five or six pipes extend.
These tubes were eventually inserted into the back of a mechanical ape.
Among the trap monkeys, Yuan Dasheng’s spirit is fully exerting its ninth-level demon-stained blood muscle skill!
The essence and blood were instilled from the blood oil bottle and continuously infused into Yuan Dasheng's organ body. Then, under the transport and transformation of Moran Blood Muscle Technique, it became Moran Essence and Blood.
Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged opposite Yuan Dasheng.
Between him and Yuan Dasheng, and around him, was a simple and slightly sloppy formation.
The magic circle emits a faint red light and a faint smell of blood.
The nine-level demon-stained essence and blood cultivated by Yuan Dasheng was purified through this magic circle and finally entered Ning Zhuo's body.
Ning Zhuo then used the seventh level of Demonic Blood Muscle Technique to continue transformation. In the process, he eliminated the essence and blood that did not suit him, and continued to accumulate the essence of sea cultivation.
Usually ten parts of the demon-dyed essence and blood can be used by Ning Zhuo in the end, only two to three parts.
But by doing this, Ning Zhuo didn't need to practice on his own, which saved him a lot of time.
Moreover, as long as the scale is large enough, theoretically speaking, the speed of his Jinghai practice will be extremely exaggerated!
"It's really good to have clansmen."
"How can I expand the number of clan members so that I can obtain more flesh and blood?"
Ning Zhuo has been pondering this issue.
After tasting the huge sweetness, he was a little unable to extricate himself.
But he didn't lose his mind.
He knew very well that his large-scale public purchase of the flesh and blood of his tribe was already in a rather gray area. If he took even one step forward, he would be suspected of practicing magic.
He has been too pushy recently, which goes against the purpose of hiding his stupidity.
Now, many people are staring at him, waiting for him to make a mistake.
Before, his large-scale purchase of clansman flesh and blood was like pulling chestnuts from the fire, which was extremely risky. Although he made it clear to the public in the name of "developing a puppet mechanism."
After Ning Houjun and Ning Youfu, the two former elders of the branch, heard about Ning Zhuo's move, they sent people or letters one after another to remind Ning Zhuo to pay great attention to his reputation!
The scale cannot be expanded.
If it expands any further, it will be extremely easy to be falsely accused and caught in the pigtails, ruining Ning Zhuo's reputation.
And reputation is extremely important to righteous monks!
Boom.
Suddenly, the machine monkey's left arm made a muffled sound, and then was cut off at the same length.
Then, as if a chain reaction was triggered, the machine ape's shoulders, chest, abdomen, etc., all burst into pieces.
A large amount of blood and essence spurted out.
In the rush of blood, the machine monkey was overwhelmed and shattered into pieces.
Ning Zhuo frowned.
It wasn't that he was surprised, nor was he distressed. After all, the machine monkey was a typical shoddy product.
However, this is already the one hundred and thirty-second one.
The broken body fragments have piled up into a hill.
Ning Zhuo raised his head and looked at the roof beams of the house.
The giant blood pool and the blood oil bottle hanging there are also two mechanical artifacts showing fine lines and showing signs of disintegration.
"It's time to build a mechanical ape." Ning Zhuo thought to himself.
Before, he and Sun Lingtong made crude preparations together, mainly to break through to the seventh level as quickly as possible.
After reaching the seventh level, Ning Zhuo's cultivation of the Three Treasures of Spirit, Qi, and God must break through the shackles before he can continue to rise.
Now that Ning Zhuo has reached the seventh level of cultivation, he needs to focus on the future.
On the one hand, he needs golden elixir-level mechanism monkeys to fully unleash the value of Yuan Dasheng's spirituality. On the other hand, he also needs higher-quality mechanism monkeys that can produce blood essence.
The combination of the two made Ning Zhuo determined to immediately start refining a new machine body for Yuan Dasheng.
He took the initiative to come to the door and invited Zheng Jian to work together to build the mechanism ape.
Zheng Jian was very surprised.
The last time, he cooperated with Ning Zhuo and learned a lot of knowledge about institutions, and he admired Ning Zhuo's accomplishments in institutions.
"I wonder what clever ideas Brother Ning has come up with this time?" Zheng Jian asked Ning Zhuo for advice.
Ning Zhuo shook his head: "I may disappoint Brother Zheng, but my refining mechanism this time is different from last time..."
After he explained it, Zheng Jian looked disappointed.
It turned out that Ning Zhuo did not intend to publish the design of the mechanism. He just wanted to refine high-quality materials and needed the help of the Zheng family and Zheng Jian to refine them.
Zheng Jian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, thinking that with his friendship with Ning Zhuo, he could refine the materials for Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo took out the red sun copper.
Zheng Jian was surprised.
"This kind of golden elixir-level copper requires extremely high firepower to melt."
"No wonder Brother Ning came to see me."
"It's just that I'm only in the Qi refining stage, so Brother Ning thinks too highly of me."
Ning Zhuo said: You can ask other monks from the Zheng family to do this work.
Zheng Jian then nodded: "As long as Brother Ning can afford the price, and according to our friendship, I will be able to help you hire a good person from the clan!"
"The price is easy to talk about." Ning Zhuo looked very straightforward.
The experts from the clan invited by Zheng Jian quoted a high price.
Ning Zhuo smiled and bargained: "What if I want to refine more than just red sun copper."
He took out the second piece of material.
As a result, the experts in the Zheng family frowned when they saw it: "The forging of this ten-thousand-strike black iron requires stupid skills and at least ten thousand strikes."
"Although it is a golden elixir-level material, it requires too much labor."
"I don't have much time to take care of private work. There are still many important responsibilities in the clan that are on my shoulders."
Ning Zhuo took out the third set of materials.
This time, the Zheng family's expert craftsman shook his head and said he couldn't do it.
"Unless it's the golden elixir stage, you can refine it directly."
"I am only in the foundation building stage, and I need to use the Tianzihao refining room to have any hope of melting it."
"But currently, the Tianzihao refining room has been occupied."
Ning Zhuo then asked how long it would take.
"It's impossible to tell. I advise you not to expect too much." The expert from the Zheng family was very frank.
Not long after Ning Zhuo left the Zheng family, he contacted Zhou Zeshen again.
Zhou Zeshen praised: "Brother Ning is really courageous. During the Qi refining period, he got involved in the creation of golden elixir level mechanisms. Such a big deal! It's amazing, it's amazing!"
"I am willing to help with all my strength!"
As a result, when Ning Zhuo mentioned the specific requirements, Zhou Zeshen expressed that he was quite embarrassed.
"Brother Ning, if you want to set up an array on these golden elixir-level materials, or arrange such a huge and dense array, I, Zhou Zeshen, can't do it."
"My foundation-building monks can barely do it, but it requires a large number of people to work together."
"Otherwise, the construction period will be very long."
Ning Zhuo did some calculations and found that the unit price of the Zhou family's remuneration was very high. No matter how many people there were, the remuneration would make Ning Zhuo feel quite strenuous.
Instead, Ning Zhuo summoned his former deacons and assigned them the task of making talismans, and received good feedback.
These elite foundation-building monks of the Ning family have expressed that they can refine various martial arts talismans for Ning Zhuo free of charge.
But how could Ning Zhuo agree?
Saving spiritual stones is not important.
Ning Zhuo didn't want to take the lead in breaking his own rules and the team atmosphere he had finally created.
The money paid to his subordinates is far more valuable than the money paid to the Zheng family and the Zhou family!
After some comprehensive calculations, Ning Zhuo found that if he paid the spirit stone, he would barely be able to achieve even one-third of the project volume.
"It's not that the Zhou family and the Zheng family deliberately raised their prices. In fact, their prices are quite fair compared to the market."
The material reached the golden elixir level, and the capital accumulation in Ning Zhuo's hands immediately seemed much shallower!
His idea of ​​using various forces to jointly refine the mechanism is a good idea, but when implemented in reality, many difficulties will be found.
After Ning Zhuo thought for a while, he came up with a solution.
"It's time to expose Meng Chong's information!"
Through the Guixi Gang, Ning Zhuo secretly "leaked" the fact that Meng Chong successfully broke through and obtained the fourth to sixth level skills to the three major families.
Zhou Zeshen exclaimed: "Meng Chong is really powerful! The City Lord's Mansion is far ahead!"
Zheng Jian clenched his fists: "I must obtain the follow-up skills. It's too uncomfortable to be stuck on the third level."
The head of the Ning family discussed with many family elders: "The Five Elements Qi Law Technique was left by the Master of the Three Sects and has great potential. Its follow-up techniques will be a major event for our family."
The elders in the family were discussing: "Who can take on this important task?"
"Ning Xiaohui has left the modification team."
After only a moment of discussion, Ning Zhuo's name appeared in the minds of the elders of the Ning family.
If the Ning family wants to obtain the follow-up skills by themselves, it seems, it seems, they should... have to rely on Ning Zhuo!
The elders continued to discuss: "Although I personally hate him very much, I have to admit that Ning Zhuo is capable."
"The key is, with Ning Zhuo's temperament, even if he obtains subsequent skills, will he hand it over to the family?"
When the elders discussed this, they couldn't help but look at each other and fell into silence.
After a long time, someone broke the silence and looked at the head of the Ning family: "Ning Zhuo loves money. I would like to ask the head of the family to communicate with him more."
The head of the Ning family nodded with an ugly expression. Just thinking of Ning Zhuo made his head hurt.
There are two routes to explore the Lava Immortal Palace. When you enter the Immortal Palace, you can use your merits to exchange for various cultivation resources. When your soul enters the Immortal Palace, you will be tested by many levels, but you can obtain the follow-up skills of the Five Elements Qi Law Technique.
And this is a reward that those who enter the Immortal Palace cannot obtain.
In the arrangement of the masters of the three sects, entering the Immortal Palace in person is for outsiders and guests, while entering the Immortal Palace as a soul is to cultivate one's own people, and the true secrets will not be disclosed to outsiders.
For the three families, they have deeply studied the Five Elements Qi Law Technique. Even if it is only the third level, they have found that this technique is extremely excellent. Their desire for follow-up techniques has always been there and they have been silently accumulating.
And this desire was discovered by Ning Zhuo and was the "puppet string" that he manipulated.
There was no need for Ning Zhuo to look for them again. Zhou Zeshen and Zheng Jian took the initiative to look for him one after another.
They don't know how many levels they have to pass to get the skill rewards.
But they knew that Ning Zhuo was very powerful and had great conflicts with the main line of the Ning family.
If they can invite Ning Zhuo to help them, it will be very beneficial for them to explore the Immortal Palace itself. And strengthening the connection with Ning Zhuo and supporting Ning Zhuo will be conducive to the emergence of the second civil war of the Ning family.
Such an achievement made the Zhou family and Zheng family, who had evil intentions, become enthusiastic and take the initiative to lower the price for Ning Zhuo!
The problem that troubled Ning Zhuo was solved.
When the main line of the Ning family learned about Ning Zhuo's cooperation with the Zhou and Zheng families, they were furious.
Many people want to use this to exaggerate that he is colluding with outsiders, regardless of the family's own interests, and wantonly destroying Ning Zhuo's family reputation.
As a result, he was dissuaded.
The head of the Ning family pinched his nose and took the initiative to summon Ning Zhuo again.
Ning Zhuo went happily.
After returning, the sound of things being smashed was heard again in the study of the head of the Ning family.
Chapter completed!
