Chapter 15: My Buddha Heart Demon Seal

"It should be Ning Zhuo begging me to handle this matter."

"Instead of me being in a hurry to arrange it for him."

"I am his uncle, his elder!"

"If I really did this, wouldn't it let his tail go up to the sky, and from now on look at me only with his nostrils!"

"How can I discipline him in the future?"

But the situation is not controlled by people.

The young leader Ning Xiaoren had already forced Ning Ze into the corner, and Ning Ze didn't want to give up his manager position.

What should I do?

Ning Ze thought hard for a long time, but didn't find a good prescription.

In the afternoon, Ning Zhuo returned.

In the middle hall, Ning Zhuo paid respects to Ning Ze and Wang Lan again, and stated his intention: "Junior came here this time mainly to take away daily utensils."

During his studies in school, the place where Ning Zhuo lived was here. He only went back to live alone on weekends.

Ning Ze pretended to be concerned and asked about his recent situation.

Ning Zhuo secretly induced the power of the treasure seal in his sea of consciousness, and told the couple that he had found a job in a mechanical workshop, and the treatment was very good.

After a simple conversation, Ning Zhuo saluted and left.

Wang Lan looked at his back and snorted coldly: "What Flying Disc Workshop, never heard of it. What future can such a small workshop have?"

Ning Ze was expressionless: "Young people, their spirit is very strong. They have to experience some hardships to know that the world is difficult."

Seeing Ning Zhuo's stubborn appearance, Ning Ze was even more disgusted with spending money to pull strings to send him into the family's industries.

"Wait, perhaps I can use his personality to make an article." Ning Ze suddenly thought of a good idea.

He sneered: "Little Zhuo's bookishness is too heavy, and he is a young man who likes adventure and excitement."

"I remember that many cultivators in the family joined the Hunting Demon Society, entering and exiting the Red Flame Demon Melting Cave to hunt volcanic monsters."

"I can entrust someone to provoke Little Zhuo to hunt monsters!"

The aunt became worried: "Will this be too dangerous?"

She felt distressed about money, but didn't want to see Ning Zhuo injured or dead.

The uncle shook his head slightly: "There are already many Ning clan members in the Hunting Demon Society."

"Besides, this time I purchased a full 80 Up-Down As-You-Wish Ropes, which clearly shows that my clan is going to explore the Red Flame Demon Melting Cave on a large scale."

"At that time, with the protection of the family's power, Little Zhuo's safety should not be a problem."

"Little Zhuo is young and energetic, his heart is hot, he likes excitement and adventure, and wants to work hard alone to achieve success. He is stubborn and rejects my arrangement, and wants to join the Hunting Demon Society! How about this explanation? Hahaha."

"The wonderful thing is—the exploration of the Red Flame Demon Melting Cave is also a major event for the family. Ning Zhuo is making a contribution to the family, barely speaking, this is also a family cause. The young leader will not be able to use this matter to pinch me."

"Of course, money still has to be sent."

"It's just that the cost of arranging Little Zhuo to enter the Hunting Demon Society is much smaller than entering the family's industries!"

The aunt blinked and thought for a while: "This idea

"However, Master of the House."

"Since the family is going to make a big move in the Red Flame Demon Melting Cave, there will surely be many opportunities to perform meritorious service. You say, our Ning Ji..."

The eldest uncle immediately glared and scolded: "Are you crazy? Swords and spears have no eyes on the battlefield. If Ning Ji goes up there and something goes wrong, if some accident happens, what then? Do you want us, the white-haired, to bury the black-haired?"

"Ah?" The eldest aunt immediately panicked and said hurriedly, "It was my mistake, I thought too much. It is safest for Ning Ji to just stay at home and make talismans!"

Neither of the couple noticed that just as Ning Zhuo turned to leave, two streams of fresh blood flowed from his nostrils.

Ning Ze thought this was his own idea and was secretly pleased.

Yet he did not know that this was actually the result of Ning Zhuo's active influence.

The sun set, and the night color shrouded Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

Ning Zhuo took a deep breath and, with a slightly nervous and apprehensive mood, opened the alchemy furnace.

"Very good, it passed after all!"

Looking at the undamaged mechanical Fire-Explosion Monkey, Ning Zhuo relaxed, his heart leaping with joy.

Then, his mind stirred.

A seal hidden in his sea of consciousness began to flicker slightly with radiance.

It was precisely the magic treasure his mother had left him—My Buddha Heart Demon Seal!

The top of the seal was carved with a Buddha statue and a demon head, the two standing back-to-back, forming a sharp contrast. The Buddha statue had a serene expression and compassionate eyes, while the demon head appeared ferocious, its gaze like fire.

The main body of the seal was round and basin-shaped, with Sanskrit talismans appearing and disappearing around it.

The bottom of the seal bore Immortal Seal script, the characters ancient and simple, consisting of only four large words: "My Buddha Heart Demon."

One thought becomes Buddha, one thought becomes demon.

I am the Buddha, and I am also the demon.

When the seal reflects upon oneself, it is the compassion of my Buddha, saving others and saving oneself. When the seal reflects upon others, it can project a cultivator's thoughts and intentions into their sea of consciousness, influencing and changing their ideas. At this time, it becomes the heart demon of others.

To hide this treasure, Ning Zhuo suffered much and paid a high price. He bought large quantities of Golden Silk Jade Dew Cakes mainly to expand his own sea of consciousness and increase his foundation, so he could arduously bear the burden of this magic treasure.

He also gained much from this magic treasure!

For example, previously, he had mingled in the black market under the identity of the Young Guest. When he suffered looting by demon cultivators, Ning Zhuo used this treasure to shock the enemies' minds and create openings. Even if it was only a momentary opening, it repeatedly allowed him to win easily.

Or for example today, in order to influence Ning Ze, he forcibly activated the magic treasure to his face, triggering a trace of its power. Only then did Ning Ze have "inspiration" and think of the strategy to arrange for Ning Zhuo to enter the Demon Hunting Society.

But Ning Zhuo was also left soul-weary and mentally weak because of this, with his nasal passages bleeding uncontrollably for a time.

"The eldest uncle is at the Foundation Establishment stage, while I am only at the third layer of the Qi Condensation stage. To influence him, the difficulty is very high, and I paid a price."

"Unlike when I acted in the black market, wearing the Pale Iron Han Armor, which gave me Foundation Establishment-level power, allowing me to trigger more of this seal's power and easily shake Foundation Establishment-stage enemies."

"However, the true use of this seal does not lie here, but in controlling mechanisms!"

Ning Zhuo triggered the seal's power, forming a heart imprint.

The heart imprint appeared light pink and shot into the body of the mechanical monkey in an instant.

The next moment, the mechanical monkey opened its eyes and leaped out from inside the alchemy furnace on its own!

The mechanical Fire-Explosion Monkey was agile and nimble, jumping around in the underground workshop, moving up and down freely without overturning a single thing. When it moved, its lightness and heaviness followed his heart.

If others were to see this scene, their jaws would surely drop.

There are many ways to control mechanisms, the mainstream being spiritual sense control. But for a cultivator to possess spiritual sense, under normal circumstances, one must have Foundation Establishment cultivation.

The device Ning Zhuo configured for the Fire-Explosion Monkey was also for receiving spiritual sense. This meant that this type of mechanical work was aimed at Foundation Establishment-stage cultivators.

However, even for an experienced Foundation Establishment-stage mechanist, using spiritual sense to control the Fire-Explosion Monkey would be difficult to make this agile.

This is because the Fire-Explosion Monkey's spiritual sense receiving component was three pellets that Ning Zhuo devised using ingenuity to save costs. Compared to orthodox array disks, the control performance is greatly reduced. Therefore, it is not that the mechanist's strength is insufficient, but that the control performance of this mechanical Fire-Explosion Monkey is inherently this low.

Yet, the Fire-Explosion Monkey under Ning Zhuo's control was like a real monkey, vivid and lifelike!

It all relied on the heart imprint.

As the saying goes, hearts are linked.

After Ning Zhuo used the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal to plant the heart imprint in the mechanical monkey, he could directly command the monkey with his mind. This method of control is more convenient and effective than spiritual sense.

Ning Zhuo controlled the monkey as it flipped up and down, and he also attempted to store fire essence, all of which went very smoothly.

"Prepared for many years, it is finally completely finished at this moment!" The youth felt a sigh in his heart, and as he thought of the Lava Immortal Palace, a firm light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
