Chapter 157

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was anxious and angry, spitting fire everywhere in the main hall, its roars incessant.

Meng Kui suppressed it arduously, never crossing the line by even half a step.

The Red Flame Demon Beasts were not repelled, and large groups continued to attack the Xian Gong.

In an instant, the battle situation on the mountain peak became complex, making it twice as difficult for Meng Kui to suppress, and extremely arduous.

But there was no other way.

Who told him to be the current City Lord of Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

Ensuring the Lava Xian Gong is not lost is his duty.

He could only endure the hardship.

Inside the trial level, it was a scene of peace and tranquility.

Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at Sun Lingtong's soul and couldn't help but tilt his large wooden head: "Does this... count as a success?"

If one were to say it was a success, Sun Lingtong's soul was indeed pulled in.

But if one were to say it wasn't, there were also reasons.

When normal trial disciples entered Room No. 1, their souls were lodged in the initial puppet torso, and then they would activate the Five Elements Qi Law to attract other puppet parts for assembly.

But Sun Lingtong's soul had entered, yet it was floating in mid-air, sensing no puppet parts at all.

Around Sun Lingtong's soul, a red soul flame was swirling.

This was the Phoenix Soul Blood Incense Pill he had taken recently to heal his soul.

As the red soul fire flickered, like a phoenix's tail feathers, it contained the profound meaning of nirvana and rebirth.

"Since you haven't been assigned initial puppet parts, I'll try to arrange one for you." Unlike Ning Zhuo took the initiative to take action, selecting a puppet body, puppet limbs, and other parts for Sun Lingtong.

He first had Sun Lingtong's soul lodge in the puppet body, and then guided and helped him assemble his own puppet body.

"Is this what it feels like to become a puppet? It's really wonderful!" Sun Lingtong looked at his puppet palms, stomped his feet, and jumped a few times, feeling very excited.

"Let's go. In Room No. 1, perhaps in the next moment, a cultivator's soul will enter the Xian Gong to explore, which is not very safe." Unlike Ning Zhuo urged.

Sun Lingtong nodded repeatedly.

He knew the gravity of the situation, hurriedly walked a few dozen steps, and arrived before the first door.

He touched the door but received no information, let alone the three rewards.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart sank slightly, knowing this was because Sun Lingtong had cheated his way in. Because he had achieved Foundation Establishment through methods and had not cultivated the Five Elements Qi Law, he could not be recognized by the level.

Then, should I try the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal?

The next moment, Unlike Ning Zhuo's soul power was rapidly consumed, and Sun Lingtong immediately received the message.

"Three rewards, which one should I choose... uh." Sun Lingtong had just said this when he discovered the three rewards had disappeared, and he couldn't choose anymore.

Unlike Ning Zhuo comforted him: "Don't worry, I just stopped activating the Human Life Hanging Thread."

This was, of course, a lie.

In reality, Unlike Ning Zhuo had used the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had no psychological burden about telling such lies to Sun Lingtong.

Because, when Unlike Ning Zhuo was two or three years old, Sun Lingtong had clearly told him: Everyone may have their own secrets; one must respect others and respect the little secrets the other party keeps.

Sun Lingtong and Unlike Ning Zhuo had a deep tacit understanding; hearing Unlike Ning Zhuo's words, he immediately understood the latter's intention: "Indeed, this aspect needs to be tested."

The result of the test was — Unlike Ning Zhuo needed to use the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal every time, combined with the Human Life Hanging Thread to deepen the connection, in order to temporarily solve Sun Lingtong's problem of being an unregistered person, allowing him to temporarily gain the recognition of the Lava Xian Gong and be qualified to select the level-clearing rewards.

"That's great!" Unlike Ning Zhuo praised, "In this way, Boss Sun, you might not need to have your name on the leaderboard."

He took the puppet Sun Lingtong through the levels and entered the preparation room.

Sure enough, he discovered that there were only "Entry Standard" and "Meng Chong" as "names" on the leaderboard.

Sun Lingtong looked at "Entry Standard" and gave Unlike Ning Zhuo a thumbs up: "Okay, okay! Little brother, you really have a way."

Unlike Ning Zhuo cooperated with the Golden Blood War Ape · Dasheng and brought Sun Lingtong through the levels.

They broke through all the way to the first level of the Buddha Gate.

When Sun Lingtong was in the coffin room, Unlike Ning Zhuo sensed the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal with all his might and activated the Human Life Hanging Thread.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit roared toward the sky, filled with grief and indignation. But constrained by its duty, it had to pass the information over.

Meng Kui was outside, suppressing the Xian Gong, panting.

Sun Lingtong shouted: "Okay, I've received the message!"

Following Unlike Ning Zhuo's previous steps, Sun Lingtong also began to do the same.

Soon, his puppet body scattered all over the ground, and his entire soul returned to his physical body.

In the underground base, he poured back all the divine sense, magic power, and essence blood he had previously extracted.

According to the plan discussed with Unlike Ning Zhuo, Sun Lingtong stuffed the Nether Ghost God Seal, the Soul-Swinging Wave Drum, and the shattered Golden Silk Garment back into their respective dantians.

Even the Ghost Gate Escape Grass, Sun Lingtong broke off three blades of grass and stuffed them into his essence sea lower dantian.

After completing this step, Sun Lingtong could only wait quietly for Unlike Ning Zhuo to pull him in.

Soon, Unlike Ning Zhuo pulled his soul into the palace again, pulling Sun Lingtong into his previous puppet body.

And accompanying this action, a teleportation circle also appeared, spitting out Qi Bai.

"Success!"

"We did it!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong clapped their hands to celebrate excitedly.

"Lava Xian Gong, I'm going to use it to make puppet creations!" The Golden Blood War Ape · Dasheng dragged Qi Bai to the door, and Sun Lingtong shouted loudly.

And standing behind him, Unlike Ning Zhuo was the person who supported him the most! At this moment, Unlike Ning Zhuo was calling upon the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal with all his might, while frantically urging the Human Life Hanging Thread.

"Roar—!" The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was wailing.

Meng Kui pursed his lips tightly, trying his best to suppress it.

The Yuan Dasheng that Unlike Ning Zhuo used at that time, although it had Immortal Talent, was essentially an elderly Fire-Melting Demon Ape with Qi Refining cultivation.

This time it was different.

Qi Bai was a proper Jin Dan cultivator, and he also carried two magic treasures and three blades of Nascent Soul-level treasure plant grass on his body.

In the Lava Xian Gong, there were copper furnaces, iron furnaces, silver furnaces, and gold furnaces, four levels of furnaces.

To refine Immortal Talent raw materials, one must use a gold furnace. And once one wants to refine Immortal materials, even if it's a gold furnace, it can only be used once!

Qi Bai's aptitude did not reach the super grade, so he couldn't use the gold furnace, but it was certain that he could use the silver furnace with his superior aptitude.

The key was that one silver furnace was completely insufficient.

Qi Bai had too many things on him!

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had no choice but to hold its nose and refine with all its might for Unlike Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong.

This was also an important point why it hated living in the Lava Xian Gong so much.

It had no freedom.

Even if it was unwilling, it had to do as told!

Bang, bang, bang...

One silver furnace after another exploded, unable to bear the burden.

After a full twenty-one silver furnaces were destroyed, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit finally refined a puppet.

During this period, Meng Kui breathed a sigh of relief.

It was all because the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had to concentrate fully on refining, leaving much less energy to cause trouble and make the Lava Xian Gong riot.

Finally, the puppet was refined!

Even if the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was extremely reluctant, it still teleported the puppet back and sent it to Sun Lingtong.

Nether Envoy · Qi Bai!
