Chapter 114

Ning Zhuo’s bedroom.

The cultivation partition had been built; although it was small and the internal space was not large, it was enough for Ning Zhuo to use.

The Floating Cloud Handkerchief was infused with magic power, and clouds of floating clouds rose.

A large amount of floating clouds filled the entire small cultivation secret chamber, and Ning Zhuo was in it, unable to see his fingers.

The double protection made the four Ning family guards sigh helplessly.

They reported this situation, and the Young Clan Leader Ning Xiaoren said it didn't matter: "What secrets can little Ning Zhuo have? The previous information collection has already investigated him thoroughly."

"Young man, hehe, he still thinks he has some little secrets."

"It’s not bad to let him feel this way."

Ning Xiaoren thought this way and did not order deep probing.

Once discovered by Ning Zhuo, it would inevitably affect the good relationship he had worked so hard to show favor and manage.

Ning Xiaoren didn't want to take such a risk.

Such a reaction was also in Ning Zhuo’s estimation.

Blood energy was full, like small red rivers, shuttling and rushing in Ning Zhuo’s lower dantian, and then gathering in the center.

In the center of the lower dantian, a small pool of essence blood had already accumulated, like a small pond.

Blood energy continued to infuse, and the small pond suddenly vibrated, its edges expanding rapidly, and soon it expanded to three times its previous size.

Breakthrough.

At this moment, Ning Zhuo broke through to the fourth layer of Essence Refining!

"Essence blood continues to accumulate, and after reaching the limit, it will be four times the previous amount. Like this, the range is huge."

"Hmm, the essence blood has a slight qualitative change, and can condense blood energy fascia faster, at least saving 30% of the time compared to before."

"Running at full power, the speed of digesting medicinal power is more than double that of before!"

Ning Zhuo quickly explored the various aspects of the improvement.

What surprised him most was the improvement in the digestion of medicinal power.

Basically, all cultivation techniques become slower the later they are practiced.

The Demonic Dyeing Blood Tendon Technique is the same.

But the speed of digesting medicinal power increased by more than double, which means that as long as the resources are sufficient, he can maintain the previous progress speed.

This point is quite rare!

"The Three Sects True Person’s philosophy seems to be that things change every three."

"Whether it is the mechanical layout in the Magma Immortal Palace or the three cultivation techniques, it is the same. After passing the third layer, there will be a qualitative improvement."

Ning Zhuo summarized this rule because the other two cultivation techniques had all broken through in the past few days.

This was a matter of course.

Previously, his three cultivation techniques had all reached the peak of the third layer, only a little distance away from the fourth layer.

After obtaining the subsequent cultivation techniques, Ning Zhuo invested a little time to practice and broke through the original limit.

After the Five Elements Qi Law Technique reached the fourth layer, not only could more five-element magic power be accumulated, but it could also be freely split and merged.

In the past, when Ning Zhuo used five-element magic power, he had to concentrate his spirit to draw out a certain kind of magic power to perform the Ice Holding Technique, Fire Grasping Technique, etc.

Now, he only needs a thought to easily decompose a strand of mixed five-element magic power in an instant.

Many times, it is not that the practice is not enough, but that the foundation is insufficient.

Just like in childhood, to touch the windowsill, you have to jump. After growing up, you can reach it by standing on tiptoe. After growing up, the windowsill height only reaches your waist, and you can touch it by reaching out slightly.

Among the three cultivation techniques, the progress of the Mirror Platform Psychic Technique was the greatest.

Currently, it has reached the fifth layer.

Ning Zhuo didn't know why this was the case.

When he practiced the subsequent cultivation techniques of the Mirror Platform Psychic Technique, the speed was extremely fast, and everything was a matter of course.

Ning Zhuo vaguely felt that the rapid progress of the Buddhist scriptures should be related to his seizing the opportunity and obtaining the embryonic sprout of the "Life Hanging by a Thread" ability.

"Buddhist cultivation techniques all have a characteristic, which is to pay attention to sudden enlightenment. Sometimes a sudden enlightenment can be worth a hundred years of hard work."

"The embryonic sprout of the 'Life Hanging by a Thread' ability I comprehended is closely related to the Mirror Platform Psychic Technique."

"The Mirror Platform Psychic Technique can communicate with all things that have spirit, 'Life Hanging by a Thread' can forcibly control the target’s every move, plus my Buddha Heart Demon Seal’s heart seal, influencing the mind, guiding thoughts..."

Ning Zhuo had already glimpsed the general appearance of the Three Sects True Person’s mechanical control method.

After the Mirror Platform Psychic Technique broke through to the fourth layer, it also ushered in a qualitative change.

Ning Zhuo discovered that the spiritual sense mirror condensed in the third layer of Spirit Refining could be merged with each other to form a larger spiritual sense mirror.

And this mirror also had a base.

Although Ning Zhuo had no chance to perform or practice, he knew just by feeling that the psychic ability of this spiritual sense mirror far exceeded the previous small mirror.

"At least three times higher!"

And now, Ning Zhuo’s Mirror Platform Psychic Technique had reached the fifth layer.

Compared with the fourth layer, the fifth layer did not have a qualitative change, but a quantitative change—one more large spiritual sense mirror was merged.

"Hmm?" Ning Zhuo’s heart moved slightly.

There was movement from the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng.

"Could it be..." Ning Zhuo hurriedly stopped the Demonic Dyeing Blood Tendon Technique, mobilized the Mirror Platform Psychic Technique, and observed Yuan Dasheng’s situation through the large spiritual sense mirror.

Sure enough, just as Ning Zhuo guessed—it was Meng Chong.

"Come on, come on, come on!" Meng Chong kept roaring.

He rushed and bumped, brave and unparalleled, his puppet body was wrapped in lightning shadows, making a zzz sound, and actually suppressed Yuan Dasheng step by step in close-quarters combat!

Ning Zhuo was shocked and hurriedly used the Mirror Platform Psychic Technique to communicate with the spirit and control the spiritual power in Yuan Dasheng’s body to perform the Ice Holding Technique.

A moment ago, Meng Chong was still in high spirits and fighting fiercely, but the next moment he was sprayed with frost and cold air.

His joints were frozen with frost, and his speed dropped sharply.

Yuan Dasheng took the opportunity to counterattack, his long fist like a spear, stabbing straight at Meng Chong’s chest.

Danger!

Meng Chong knew that his defense was extremely weak, and if he was hit, he would definitely lose.

"Wild Running Sudden Thunder!" He roared in his heart, the lightning shadow expanded violently, turning into intense electric light, covering his whole body.

The next moment, he flew out like thunder and lightning.

Yuan Dasheng’s fist missed, stopped in place, maintained a fist frame, facing Meng Chong directly.

Meng Chong shrank in a corner, still having lingering fears. He didn't expect that the mechanical monkey in front of him could also release spells!

In this way, the danger level at least doubled!

"Not taking me down in one blow, you have already exposed your last trump card. Big monkey, you are doomed today!" Meng Chong reorganized his team, and in just a few breaths, the fear in his heart completely dissipated, and he became high in fighting spirit again.

The puppet Meng Chong rushed over again.

Zzz zzz zzz...

Lightning shadows accompanied his whole body, allowing his every move to accelerate in an instant.

Yuan Dasheng and he clashed again.

The former’s speed was far from Meng Chong’s, and after a few rounds of fighting, he fell into a passive situation again.

This time, Ning Zhuo, who was watching from the side, saw it completely: "Meng Chong has improved again."

"Returning this time, his use of Wild Running Sudden Thunder has reached a whole new level."

"Although the speed did not exceed the previous limit, in terms of subtlety, there has been an explosive improvement."

If purely speaking of martial arts, Yuan Dasheng was still a cut above Meng Chong.

But the speed of every move of Meng Chong was much faster than Yuan Dasheng’s.

As the saying goes, all martial arts in the world can be broken, except for speed. In a real life-and-death battle, being faster by a line is infinitely higher.

Not to mention that Meng Chong was so much faster.

Yuan Dasheng could persist for so long, already because martial arts inherited the foundation of his lifetime, and he could do slow against fast, observing the start, and could judge the opponent’s subsequent actions.

"However, Meng Chong, if you are only like this, it is not enough." Ning Zhuo flashed a sharp light.

The next moment... Fire Grasping Technique!

The hands of the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng suddenly burned, and the flames condensed, each forming a fire ball.

Yuan Dasheng held the fire balls tightly in both hands, like holding two balls.

Then, Ning Zhuo silently recited in his heart:

"The first fire ball is like a cinnabar heart, the heart dances with the intention, and the strength turns."

"The flaming armor rises fiercely, and the red flow protects the whole body."

Based on the Fire Grasping Technique, he performed the spell again.

Fire Grasping Technique—Fire Bathing Technique!

The next moment, the fire ball was gently pinched by Yuan Dasheng and shattered into countless flame flowers.

The sparks bloomed, forming a flame flow, which quickly flowed all over Yuan Dasheng’s body.

Yuan Dasheng was bathed in fire, like wearing armor!

The flames were fierce, emitting huge heat.

Meng Chong was dumbfounded.

He looked at the fierce heat flames that were more than a foot high, looked at his own wooden puppet body, and then fixed his eyes on the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng’s golden bones and red rock muscles.

Envy!

Yuan Dasheng was not afraid of burning, but Meng Chong couldn't.

Yuan Dasheng stood still, just pointed his finger at Meng Chong, his finger hooked, as if saying: continue to attack, come and hit me.

"I XXX!" Meng Chong couldn't help but swear.

He held back his anger, bit the bullet, and attacked again.

A moment later, Meng Chong was covered in flames and was burned into large pieces of charcoal wood, scattered all over the ground.
