Chapter 113

"It’s here!" Early in the morning, Yuan Er came to the gate of Ning Zhuo’s small courtyard.

Seeing him wanting to come in, the patrolling Qi Refining stage Ning family cultivator hurriedly appeared and blocked him: "Stop."

Yuan Er was at the Foundation Establishment stage, but seeing the identity waist token worn by the Qi Refining stage cultivator, he didn't dare to act rashly: "I am here to find Ning Zhuo. I am Yuan Er, the current leader of the Monkey Head Gang."

"Please wait a moment, I will go report." The Qi Refining cultivator glanced at Yuan Er and gave a look to his companion who had rushed over.

The companion nodded at him and stood at the gate of the small courtyard, blocking Yuan Er.

Yuan Er felt sad in his heart, thinking that he, a dignified gang leader, was blocked outside the courtyard when looking for a Qi Refining cultivator.

However, over these days, he had also gathered a lot of information, knowing that Ning Zhuo was valued by the Ning family and was the favorite in front of the Young Clan Leader, Ning Xiaoren.

"Why don't I have a big family to rely on?"

Thinking of this, the one who went to report came back and said to him: "You can go in."

Yuan Er stepped into the small courtyard, and after walking a few steps, his footsteps paused slightly.

He caught a trace of a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s aura, and then lost it.

He immediately understood that this was the aura deliberately leaked by the other party, meaning to warn him not to mess around.

Yuan Er was shocked: "What exactly does this Ning Zhuo rely on to be so valued by the family? To the point of sending a Foundation Establishment level cultivator to protect him?"

The three-family alliance’s modification was kept secret from the outside world.

Yuan Er did not yet know the inside story.

"Leader Yuan Er, please come in." At this time, Ning Zhuo came out to greet him with a polite smile on his face.

Ning Zhuo led him into the bedroom, not the study.

"Sorry, I’m temporarily setting up a cultivation room, Leader Yuan Er, please don't mind." Ning Zhuo explained.

Yuan Er saw three array masters setting it up together.

He recognized at a glance that these three array masters were all famous old masters in the market, all at the Foundation Establishment cultivation level, not a single one at the Qi Refining stage.

Yuan Er instantly felt Ning Zhuo’s wealth and arrogance, and the restraint in his heart grew even stronger.

Ning Zhuo didn't invite him to sit down, so Yuan Er could only stand at the door, in an awkward situation.

Ning Zhuo communicated with the array masters while glancing at Yuan Er from the corner of his eye, observing his words and expressions.

A moment later, he turned his head to look at Yuan Er: "Leader Yuan Er, you see, I’m busy here, do you have anything to do?"

Yuan Er said: "Mr. Ning, can we move a step to talk?"

Ning Zhuo did not agree; he pointed to the cultivation partition: "You see, I have to keep an eye on it, I can't get away for the time being."

"I can probably guess what you are looking for me for."

"You want a custom-made mechanical monkey, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Yuan Er nodded hurriedly, "Mr. Ning, you really remember."

"I have always kept it in mind." Ning Zhuo sighed, "But I have been very busy lately."

"A few days ago, I was still living in the family residence."

"Although I was taken care of by our clan’s Young Clan Leader and lived in his residence for many days. But I thought about it and decided to move back to live, which is more convenient. I am more used to living like this."

"So, you see, I first set up a small secret chamber for cultivation."

"I am a bit busy, you have to be a little patient and wait for a while."

Yuan Er certainly wouldn't be brushed off so easily.

He put himself in a very low position and politely asked Ning Zhuo for a time limit.

Ning Zhuo sighed: "It’s hard to say. Recently, the family also has to prepare for a test for me to detect my talent."

"I can't give you a definite answer for the time being, but don't worry, I will give it to you."

"Test talent?" Yuan Er was shocked.

Even the three array masters couldn't help but look at Ning Zhuo one after another.

Having spiritual roots is not rare, but cultivators with talent are rare.

Even if it is a low-level talent, it is different from the ordinary and is a true genius.

"Could it be that Ning Zhuo revealed his talent, which is why he was favored by the family?" Yuan Er inevitably made associations.

In an instant, his evaluation of Ning Zhuo was raised again, reaching a whole new level.

Although he was the leader of the Monkey Head Gang, he had difficulty convincing the public and lacked powerful helpers. Facing Ning Zhuo, a genius cultivator and a favorite of a big cultivation family, he really didn't dare to be tough.

Just like that, he was left hanging by Ning Zhuo for a moment, and unable to bear this awkwardness, he took the initiative to leave.

Ning Zhuo smiled again: "I’ll see you off."

Although he said so, he only sent him to the bedroom door.

As soon as Yuan Er left, one of the Foundation Establishment guards of the Ning family transmitted his voice to Ning Zhuo: "There is a tail following Yuan Er. After Yuan Er entered the courtyard, this tail has been hiding around and hasn't left."

"As soon as Yuan Er left, the tail also left."

"Do we need to remind Yuan Er?"

The guard didn't know the relationship between Yuan Er and Ning Zhuo, so he reported it in a timely and detailed manner.

Ning Zhuo thought for a moment and shook his head: "Leader Yuan Er is powerful, there is no need to remind him."

The guard immediately understood and stopped talking.

Ning Zhuo’s eyes were deep.

From beginning to end, he never thought of handing over the mechanical creation made from Yuan Dasheng’s corpse to Yuan Er.

Yuan Er’s problem didn't need him to deal with it.

Because those elders of the Monkey Head Gang, as well as the countless enemies Yuan Yi and Yuan Dasheng had made after fighting for most of their lives, would all take action for Ning Zhuo to solve this problem.

Ning Zhuo just needed to delay as much as possible.

As for the family testing his talent, that was not a problem either.

"For Ning Xiaohui’s sake, how could the family easily test my talent?"

"At most, they will just go through the motions to prove to the Zhou and Zheng families that I do have talent. It’s just that the result hasn't been tested for the time being."

Ning Family.

Ning Xiaohui’s whole body was exuding cold air, her hands were inserted deep into the ice, and her whole person was frozen with blue and purple lips.

Her grandmother accompanied her the whole time, encouraging her: "Xiaohui, hold on!"

"You need to carefully experience the meaning of ice cold."

Ning Xiaohui shivered: "Grand, Grandmother... must it be like this? Can’t we change to another method?"

Her grandmother shook her head slightly: "This is the fastest way!"

"Talent is the soil for supernatural abilities; using this method can fully stimulate your talent, thereby manifesting more."

"If it were the North Wind Kingdom, you would have grown up in the ice and snow since childhood, and you would have a deeper understanding of the Ice Fat Jade Hand."

"Regrettably, this is the Nandou Kingdom, and we live on an active volcano. The environment is inconsistent, which makes you know very little about your talent."

"No, no, I’m going to be frozen to death!" Ning Xiaohui couldn't hold on and finally pulled her hands back.

All efforts wasted!

Her grandmother sighed deeply, but seeing Ning Xiaohui crying, the words of blame didn't come out after all.

On the top of Fire Persimmon Mountain, clouds and smoke rolled.

Meng Chong floated in mid-air, his eyes wide, staring at the surrounding clouds and smoke.

Boom.

A thunderclap, and the gray-white clouds and smoke suddenly flashed with a deep blue color. This was the electric light shuttling through the clouds and smoke, dyeing them blue.

Meng Chong couldn't react in time and was hit by a thunderbolt, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying backward.

"Damn it, hateful!"

"The clouds and mist are winding here, blocking my eyes; I can't see the process of the lightning attack at all."

Meng Chong was extremely exhausted.

Although his essence blood had been replenished by Meng Kui, his magic power and spirit were still extremely weak.

For these two aspects, even a Nascent Soul level cultivator like Meng Kui was helpless.

It wasn't that he couldn't take out elixirs to restore magic power and energy, but that after a cultivator takes elixirs, they must use the corresponding profound techniques to digest the medicinal power quickly.

Otherwise, if the medicinal power accumulates, the opposite will happen, and it will inevitably harm the body, and even endanger life.

It just so happened that Meng Chong only had the Five Elements Qi Law Technique, and only the first three layers, so the efficiency of digesting medicinal power was too low.

In the treasures of essence and spirit, he also had no corresponding cultivation techniques, and it was a blank slate, so his digestive ability was very weak.

Boom!

Meng Chong was struck hard again, his charred skin peeling off layer by layer, and cracks appeared on his hardened body surface, from which blood kept flowing out.

He had become a bloody man, his body was overwhelmed, but his fighting spirit was getting more and more high.

"Come!"

"Come again!"

"Come again!!!"

Boom, boom, boom...

He was struck half-dead by the thunder, and between life and death, he suddenly had a realization.

Zzz...

Electric light flickered on his body, forming a phantom woven by lightning.

The phantom followed Meng Chong’s body and limbs closely, interdependent.

When the thunder struck again, Meng Chong’s body swayed, leaving a lightning phantom in place, while his true body had already flashed away.

He dodged the thunder, and the remaining lightning shadow was pierced, but instead absorbed the power of the lightning, making a loud zzz sound, becoming even more solid.

"Using talent this way consumes much less than before."

"The key is that I can only accelerate a certain part of my body. With this point alone, I can deal with that special mechanical ape."

"Hahaha, I’m coming, I’m coming!!"

Meng Chong swung his arms and laughed happily.

Meng Kui nodded secretly, showing appreciation, and thought: "As expected of my grandson, brave and diligent, fearless, not losing face for the Meng surname."
