Chapter 166

"Recruitment order..." Meng Kui sneered in his heart.

The King's move was not strange, and the recruitment order was also within his expectation, and there were ways to think about it.

In the few days after the recruitment order was issued, three Golden Core cultivators entered the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng and were successfully "recruited" by the City Lord's Mansion.

The Meng family had discovered the Lava Xian Gong for many years.

For the Meng family, controlling the Lava Xian Gong was a reason to occupy the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng. The resources of the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng were not outstanding, but its location was very good, and it was not an enclave for the Meng family. The Meng family's sphere of influence could take this opportunity to expand a large circle outward.

In the entire Nandou Kingdom, the influence of the Meng family would also be greatly improved.

These benefits were what the Meng family truly valued!

"The sky is going to change!"

The voice of the edict spread throughout the city, and Unlike Ning Zhuo naturally heard it too.

His brows were tightly locked, his gaze was deep, and the pressure in his heart increased.

To compete for the succession of the Lava Xian Gong, there are currently two tracks.

The first old track, facing the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and above. Every level of cultivation has a standard for mechanical attainments. As long as you meet this standard, you can participate in the competition and contention. Through various actions, you can help the Lava Xian Gong and obtain corresponding Xian Gong contributions.

When the Xian Gong contribution accumulates to a certain degree, you can exchange for corresponding resources. The highest contribution should be the position of the Xian Gong Master.

The second new track, only facing the Qi refining period, accurately speaking, facing the Qi refining period that practiced the Five Elements Qi Law.

If the Five Elements Qi Law reaches the peak of the third layer, you can have the qualification to be soul-extracted into the palace by the Life-Hanging Thread.

In the trial checkpoints specially arranged by the Three Sects Master, Qi refining cultivators will constantly break through checkpoints in the form of wooden puppets. In this process, they learn and grow.

As for whether this new track can eventually lead to the throne of the Xian Gong, Unlike Ning Zhuo could not be completely sure, but he guessed it was.

The discovery of the new track was a major benefit for Unlike Ning Zhuo.

However, as he constantly moved forward and broke through, he also encountered many accidents, several of which involved life-and-death crises.

From being on the leaderboard at the beginning, to Yuan Dasheng suddenly appearing, and then to Qi Bai capturing Sun Lingtong...

Unlike Ning Zhuo walked to this step today, having already consumed most of his accumulation over more than ten years. The mechanical creations he had accumulated were almost exhausted in the battle with Qi Bai.

Sun Lingtong is currently hiding in one of the few underground bases, which is also not safe.

The issuance of the recruitment order will inevitably attract countless foreign cultivators, and there will be a large-scale participation of newcomers in the competition.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had no bottom in his heart about this.

The number of talents in the world is like carp crossing the river. It is not strange at all for a dragon fish to jump out.

"Especially those major sects, those cultivators have received the best education since childhood and obtained superior cultivation resources. What do I have to compare with them?"

"My mechanical attainments are outstanding in the Ning family, but the Ning family itself is famous for talismans."

"Among the cultivators who will pour in next, there must be those whose mechanical attainments are far beyond mine."

"My advantage in mechanical arts will become very inconspicuous after comparison!"

"My biggest advantage now is the first-mover advantage. The progress in the trial checkpoints is the fastest, and the 'entry standard' in the five leaderboards is number one."

"But how long can this advantage be maintained?"

"Walking to this step today, I have already done my best."

Unlike Ning Zhuo really wanted to quickly break through the next checkpoints.

Currently, he already has the peak cultivation of the sixth layer of the Divine Sea and can push open the second Buddha door.

However, the first checkpoint after the Fomen is quite difficult.

After trying, Unlike Ning Zhuo found that the challenger would first enter half of the room.

Half of the room is a mechanical workshop.

The challenger temporarily possesses a limited number of mechanical tools and mechanical pedestals.

The checkpoint will provide some materials, allowing the challenger to choose one out of three.

After choosing nine times in a row, use the chosen materials to refine.

No matter what mechanical creation is refined, it must cooperate with the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, to deal with the subsequent tests.

During the test, the other half of the room will move over and combine with the mechanical workshop to form a complete room.

Sometimes, in the other half of the room, there are various obstacles and traps, which require the challenger's spirit mechanism to break through.

Sometimes, in the other half of the room, there are spell puppets, martial arts puppets, or mechanical beast groups, which require the spirit mechanism to defeat them.

Still other times, the assembled room comes with a cage, and a living Red Flame Demon Beast is bound in the cage, which requires the spirit mechanism to kill the demon beast.

Unlike Ning Zhuo broke through seven tests in a row, made a mistake in the eighth, and was directly defeated.

There was no room for him to retreat from the checkpoint and then enter again, so he was directly thrown out of the Lava Xian Gong and his soul returned to his physical body.

Afterward, Unlike Ning Zhuo kept recalling and had many insights.

"Just as Sun Lao Da said before, the spirit mechanism refined by the Lava Xian Gong for trial disciples is a key."

"In subsequent challenges, it is based on the spirit mechanism, and subsequent play is carried out on it."

"Well, at least the Fomen route is like this."

"The material level provided by the checkpoint after the second Buddha door is obviously a grade higher than before."

"According to this trend, the materials in the subsequent checkpoints should be better."

"The difficulty of the checkpoint after the second Buddha door far exceeds before. The trial content has increased by nearly ten times, because the bottom has not been explored yet, and it is impossible to determine how much the content has increased."

"The battlefield of each test can be cleaned up. Various mechanical traps, obstacles, puppets, and Red Flame Demon Beasts are all new materials, which can repair the spirit mechanism, make more mechanical accessories and parts, install them on the spirit mechanism, or even directly manufacture mechanical individuals."

"The remaining items in the rewards of the first Buddha door can bring direct help to this checkpoint."

"The reward items of the first door and the Demon Gate do not help directly. Because throughout the entire test process, I have no way to command Yuan Dasheng and can only rely on Yuan Dasheng to attack on his own."

"From this point, it can also be seen. When the first Buddha door is reached, the spirit mechanism refined is extremely important! The more sufficient the spirituality, the more advantageous it is to break through subsequent checkpoints."

"The difficulties encountered by others breaking through to here will be much greater than mine, and the energy and time spent will definitely far exceed mine."

"Oh, I almost forgot."

"The Fomen and the Demon Gate were closed by me."

"They have no possibility of coming in."

Unlike Ning Zhuo thought about it, and there were still flaws.

In the second transit hall, there are still Demon Gates and Buddha Gates.

It requires him to cheat again and close them.

It was mainly because this time leaving the Xian Gong caught Unlike Ning Zhuo off guard. After failing to break through, he was directly thrown out.

"It doesn't matter, next time there is a chance, try to close the door first."

When Unlike Ning Zhuo was considering the checkpoint, the Ning family patriarch and the young patriarch were discussing him.

"Unlike Ning Zhuo has made a great contribution this time." The Ning family patriarch sighed.

The young patriarch Ning Xiaoren echoed: "This child is indeed a mechanical seed, and his talent in mechanical arts is amazing."

"Just..." Ning Xiaoren changed the subject, "He took the initiative to express to me that he wanted to taste Ice Jade Wine, and this attitude made me feel very bad."

The Ning family patriarch narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "Xiaoren, you have to pay attention to one point."

"This time, Unlike Ning Zhuo organized manpower and acted alone without informing us."

"Among the people who acted with him, there was not a single member of the main branch."

Ning Xiaoren took a light breath: "Father, I also noticed—Unlike Ning Zhuo just called out, and these people gathered around and acted with him. Unlike Ning Zhuo's influence in the branch cannot be ignored!"

"Perhaps he is only in the Qi refining period now, but he has the name of talent and is already widely known."

"If he is not curbed during the seedling period, and he grows into a towering tree in the future, it will be too late, and it will be too late to regret."

The Ning family patriarch nodded slowly: "Very good, you have such cognition, which is not in vain for my careful cultivation of you for many years."

"Unlike Ning Zhuo is indeed a good seedling, with talent, but he is too young, and young people are always a bit unruly."

"He has crossed the line a bit, and it is time to let him understand the concept that the family is the main and the individual is the auxiliary."

"Let him know that some rules must be followed."

"Go and beat him. Teach him well and let him become a sharp blade of my main branch in the future."

"Yes, Father. The child retires." Ning Xiaoren arched his hands, retreated a few steps, and turned to leave.
