Chapter 165: Order to Recruit the Worthy (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Ning Zhuo hammered and tapped, using the facilities in the preparation room, and quickly processed the hanging rings, small flying boxes, and other mechanical parts he had selected before.

The hanging ring was transformed into a Cocoon-Binding Hanging Ring. When thrown out and touching an object, it would burst out countless silk threads, wrapping the target object layer by layer, forming a cocoon, and hanging it on the ceiling.

The small flying box was changed into a flying shield. The shield circled the puppet's body, could automatically defend, and could also absorb various spells attacked over. When the spell power accumulated to the storage limit, the small flying box shield could self-destruct, and the explosion power was quite considerable.

Ning Zhuo named it "Honest Man".

Ning Zhuo processed these modified mechanical parts and distributed them to everyone else.

For a time, everyone rehearsed in the preparation room and praised Ning Zhuo's craftsmanship.

Ning Zhuo took advantage of everyone being immersed in practice, stood in front of the five stone pillars, and under the disdainful gaze of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, "groped" out the mark of the trial disciple.

"Come and take a look, everyone, look what I found!" Ning Zhuo exclaimed.

Everyone gathered around.

Ning Zhuo showed everyone the trial disciple mark he had "just" obtained.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Many people said: "This discovery is too important!"

"The help for exploring the Immortal Palace in the future is really too great."

"Ah Zhuo, with this contribution, I think you can get Ice Jade Wine!"

"Ice Jade Wine?!" Ning Zhuo immediately showed a look of yearning, "I've heard of it since I was a child, I really want to drink a sip."

"Who hasn't?!" Everyone laughed, and morale rose again and again.

Just like this, Ning Zhuo took everyone, relying on the modified mechanical parts and his own outstanding control ability, and successfully passed the levels one after another, all the way to the eighth level!

Yuan Da Sheng appeared in front of everyone.

"This mechanical ape has finally appeared!"

"Ah Zhuo, this time I'm afraid we can only stop here."

"But it doesn't matter, this result is already quite extraordinary, we have broken the previous record!"

"That's right, after returning to the family, Ah Zhuo, you will definitely be heavily rewarded."

"Maybe there will be Ice Jade Wine, hahaha."

Having reached here, the Ning family members were already at the end of their rope. Because Ning Zhuo deliberately arranged it, in the previous several levels, he had successively "sacrificed" a few companions.

When Yuan Da Sheng appeared, his puppet giant shrank significantly, leaving only five companions.

Ning Zhuo's fighting spirit was firm: "If we haven't fought, how can we say we lost. Let us work together and fight this mechanical ape to the death!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and morale was fully mobilized by Ning Zhuo.

However, Yuan Da Sheng's strength was very "powerful", and the heads on the huge puppet were killed and exploded one by one.

After only Ning Zhuo was left, Yuan Da Sheng knelt on one knee: "Lord, this subordinate is rebellious, actually attacking the Lord, please punish me!"

Ning Zhuo coughed, trying to play the role of the Lord well, first saying this was a bitter meat trick, and then letting Yuan Da Sheng make up for his crimes.

Ning Zhuo picked and chose, carrying a full set of equipment, letting Yuan Da Sheng lead the way, passed the ninth level, and entered the transit hall.

Pushing open the first Buddha door, he passed three levels in a row.

When it came to the reward link, he had no more Illusion-Truth Lotus Seeds to choose from, so he chose a spell to enhance his simultaneous sensing of multiple mechanical creations.

He entered the second transit hall, urged the Mirror Platform Spirit Communication Art at the peak of the sixth level, and successfully pushed open the second Buddha door.

"A brand new level, here I come!" He stepped in.

He returned in defeat.

The first level after the Buddha door was quite difficult, and he was a little short, failing to pass.

When he woke up, he was greeted by the compliments and congratulations of his clansmen, and Ning Xiaoren came in person, full of joy, exhorting and encouraging him.

Ning Zhuo's performance this time was truly amazing!

Ning Zhuo took the opportunity to put forward his request: "Uncle Xiaoren, with this merit, can I get Ice Jade Wine?"

Ning Xiaoren's eye corners twitched, his face full of smiles, and he patted Ning Zhuo on the shoulder: "Okay, I will strive for it for you with all my strength!"

Nandou Kingdom Capital.

In the Golden Throne Hall.

The Nandou King looked at the memorial in front of him and frowned deeply.

This memorial was jointly submitted by the Fire Persimmon Immortal City City Lord Meng Kui and the Divine Catcher Division Zhu Xuanji.

"The Fire Persimmon Mountain side, sure enough, there is still a problem!"

"Dispatch reinforcements..."

The Nandou King felt very troubled.

This world is not dominated by the Nandou Kingdom alone. Once the matter of the Void Refinement-level legacy is leaked, it will inevitably attract countless covetous eyes. Major forces will all extend their tentacles.

Unless the Nandou Kingdom dispatches heavy troops, it really cannot guard the Fire Persimmon Mountain.

The Nandou King knew clearly that the cultivation countries had already been frantically arming themselves, chasing each other for nearly a hundred years. Some major countries still had some spare power, but medium-sized countries like the Nandou Kingdom were already exhausted. As for those small countries, they had long fallen behind.

The Nandou Kingdom had heavy troops and great generals guarding every important place and border line, forming a balance of confrontation with surrounding countries and forces.

To dispatch heavy troops, it is necessary to draw these troops and generals, which is a major event that affects the whole body.

Of course, there were idle military forces, and it was the strongest army of the Nandou Kingdom—the Imperial Guard.

But this army was responsible for guarding the capital, and its significance was very important, and it must not be moved lightly. It's not like the Imperial Guard can be dispatched just because something happened in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, right?

And the Fire Persimmon Immortal City was still a new city in the Nandou Kingdom, and the cultivation resources, national population, etc., it possessed were relatively low.

Dispatching heavy troops is immature, what about drawing some strong people?

The Nandou King quickly thought about the candidates, and his brows frowned even tighter.

The Nandou Kingdom had been established for hundreds of years, and the forces of the old ministers in the court were intertwined. They intermarried and allied with each other, and their interests were entangled together.

People from the Meng family and people close to the Meng family could not be chosen.

Then could others be chosen?

Those who were qualified to confront the Meng family, such as the Su family. If you choose someone from the Su family, isn't it giving an opportunity to let the Su family participate in the competition for the Lava Immortal Palace?

Are there people who have no connection with these old minister forces?

There are.

But wouldn't such candidates be targeted and wooed?

In fact, this kind of thing has happened too many times.

The Zhu family has held the Nandou royal power, but it has always been unstable. Because from the root, the founding Retired Emperor had no royal mandate! It all relied on the supernatural power of the Three Sects Master.

The Zhu family has passed to the third generation, still without a royal mandate, and even less descendants to inherit the supernatural power.

"Since your Zhu family can be the master of a country, why can't our clan?" The Meng family, the Su family, and other major cultivation families had restless thoughts.

The Nandou King felt very lonely, and it was cold at the top.

Under such circumstances, only members of the royal family can be considered reliable!

However, the talents in the Nandou royal family were withered, and Zhu Xuanji was already the most outstanding one.

If it weren't for this, the Nandou King would not have specifically sent Zhu Xuanji to the Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

As the monarch of a country, the Nandou King thought about it, and among the civil and military officials, there was no suitable candidate to go and reinforce!

Now, the Fire Persimmon Immortal City is full of wind and clouds, and heroes are coveting it. How should it be handled?

The problem was placed in front of the Nandou King.

A few days later.

The imperial envoy from the Nandou Kingdom capital floated high in the sky and chanted in a long tone: "The King has an order, please let the Fire Persimmon City Lord receive the order."

"The King of the Earth and Heaven says: The Lava Immortal Palace belongs to the Three Sects Master, not the property of this country. The Three Sects Master cared for the common people and pitied the world, leaving behind a palace to suppress the Fire Persimmon Mountain for many years."

"The Nandou Kingdom used this to build a great array and create the Fire Persimmon Immortal City. The Three Sects Master has made great contributions."

"Now, the Immortal Palace is born, selecting successors. The Nandou Kingdom is grateful for the Master's compassion and is happy to see it happen, and should not obstruct it."

"However, the Lava Immortal Palace suppresses the volcano, which concerns the safety of hundreds of thousands of city residents, and cannot be moved. This is also the original intention of the Three Sects Master."

"Now, an Order to Recruit the Worthy is set up, widely recruiting talents, regardless of background, allowing entry and exit to the Immortal Palace, competing for the right of succession, without external restrictions."

"Those who inherit the Immortal Palace can enter the court as officials, up to the fourth rank! Those who do not want to enter the court, according to the Order to Recruit the Worthy, must return the position of Palace Master. The Nandou Kingdom court will definitely provide sufficient compensation."

"Anyone who enters the city or the palace without signing the order is an enemy of the Nandou Kingdom, will be executed, and can receive a heavy reward from the capital..."

The words of the imperial envoy were like a great bell, clear and distinct, spreading throughout the entire Fire Persimmon Mountain.

Countless city residents raised their heads and listened quietly.

After listening, the silent Fire Persimmon Immortal City suddenly boiled, countless people cheered, and countless people ran to tell each other!

"Did you hear that?"

"The Three Sects Master, that is a Void Refinement-level powerhouse."

"He is really great, I only know now that the greatest contributor to the Fire Persimmon Mountain is him!"

"He actually left behind a palace, and the Lava Immortal Palace is also selecting successors?"

"Too great! What a rare opportunity this is."

"I feel like I am the future master of the Immortal Palace! It turns out that the turning point of my life is here!"

Meng Kui stood up, took the flying imperial decree with both hands, and thoughts flashed in his eyes.

The Nandou King actually made such a handling, which was somewhat beyond Meng Kui's expectations.

Previously, the Meng family spreading the information about the birth of the Lava Immortal Palace was his idea.

The reason was that Meng Kui could no longer stop Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji brought the Golden Dan ancestors of the three major families to enter and exit the Immortal Palace frequently, and the significance of Meng Kui sitting here was only to suppress the Immortal Palace riot.

On the contrary, his continued presence gave Zhu Xuanji the best reason to woo the three major families.

Meng Kui was worried that Zhu Xuanji would make a breakthrough here and eventually inherit the Immortal Palace.

Especially since Meng Kui saw with his own eyes that Zhu Xuanji had taken out three quasi-Golden Dan combat power mechanical beasts and handed them over to the Lava Immortal Palace in exchange for contributions.

This move was quite large, and it could be seen that Zhu Xuanji was prepared. Or more accurately, the Nandou royal family gave strong support behind Zhu Xuanji.

Coupled with Meng Chong's side, he suffered repeated setbacks. The mechanical ape and mechanical puppets were too powerful, and Meng Kui couldn't see the possibility of a short-term breakthrough.

Various reasons prompted Meng Kui to actively spread the intelligence, and then lead the wolf into the house, relying on his own troops, forcing the royal family to make subsequent reactions.

The Meng family knew the inside story of the Nandou Kingdom very well.

Meng Kui concluded that the Nandou King could not draw heavy troops to the Fire Persimmon Immortal City to suppress the formation. In this way, it would be dispatching strong people to reinforce.

And the cultivation of the strong person would be at least at the Nascent Soul stage.

Meng Kui thought this situation was the most likely. He had already notified the Meng family that once this candidate was decided, the Meng family would take action and carry out full wooing.

But in the end, the imperial envoy brought the imperial decree and brought an Order to Recruit the Worthy!
