Chapter 166: Teach the Rules of the Ning Family (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Order to Recruit the Worthy..." Meng Kui sneered in his heart.

The King's move was not strange, and the Order to Recruit the Worthy was also within his expectations, and there were ways to deal with it.

In the few days after the Order to Recruit the Worthy was issued, three Golden Dan cultivators entered the Fire Persimmon Immortal City and were successfully "recruited" by the City Lord's Mansion.

The Meng family had discovered the Lava Immortal Palace for many years.

For the Meng family, controlling the Lava Immortal Palace was a reason to occupy the Fire Persimmon Immortal City. The resources of the Fire Persimmon Immortal City 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 advantage of this to expand outward by a large circle.

In the entire Nandou Kingdom, the Meng family's influence would also rise significantly.

These benefits were what the Meng family truly valued!

"The sky is going to change!"

The voice of the decree spread throughout the city, and Ning Zhuo naturally heard it.

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

To compete for the succession of the Lava Immortal Palace, there are currently two tracks.

The first old track is aimed at the Qi Refining stage, Golden Dan stage, Nascent Soul stage, and above. Each 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 Immortal Palace and obtain corresponding Immortal Palace contributions.

When the Immortal Palace contribution accumulates to a certain level, you can exchange for corresponding resources. The highest contribution should be the position of Palace Master of the Immortal Palace.

The second new track is only aimed at the Qi Refining stage, or more accurately, aimed at the Qi Refining stage that practices the Five Elements Qi Rhythm Art.

When the Five Elements Qi Rhythm Art reaches the peak of the third level, you are qualified to be soul-extracted into the palace by the Life-Hanging Thread.

In the trial levels specially arranged by the Three Sects Master, Qi Refining cultivators will constantly pass levels in the form of puppet people. In this process, they learn and grow.

As for whether this new track can ultimately lead to the throne of the Immortal Palace, Ning Zhuo couldn't be completely sure, but he guessed it was.

The discovery of the new track was a major benefit for 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 the name on the leaderboard at the beginning, to the sudden appearance of Yuan Da Sheng, to Qi Bai capturing Sun Lingtong...

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

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

The issuance of the Order to Recruit the Worthy would inevitably attract countless foreign cultivators, and there would be a large-scale influx of newcomers participating in the competition.

Ning Zhuo had no bottom in his heart about this.

The number of talents in the world is like crucian carp crossing the river. It wouldn't be strange at all if a dragon fish jumped out.

"Especially those major sects, those cultivators who have received the best education since childhood and obtained superior cultivation resources, what can I compare with them?"

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

"Among the cultivators who will pour in next, there must be those whose mechanical attainments far exceed 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 levels is the fastest, and the 'entry standards' in the five lists are all first."

"But how long can this advantage be maintained?"

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

Ning Zhuo wanted to quickly clear the subsequent levels.

Currently, he already had the Divine Sea cultivation at the peak of the sixth level and could push open the second Buddha door.

However, the first level after the Buddha door was quite difficult.

After trying, Ning Zhuo discovered that the challenger would first enter half of a room.

Half of the room was a mechanical workshop.

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

The level would provide some materials, allowing the challenger to choose one out of three.

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

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

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

Sometimes, there were various obstacles and traps in the other half of the room, requiring the challenger's sentient mechanism to pass through.

Sometimes, there were spell puppets, Kung Fu puppets, or mechanical beast groups in the other half of the room, requiring the sentient mechanism to defeat them.

Other times, the assembled room came with a cage, and a living Red Flame demonic beast was bound in the cage, requiring the sentient mechanism to kill the demonic beast.

Ning Zhuo passed seven tests in a row, but made a mistake on the eighth, and was defeated directly.

There was no room for him to retreat and enter again, so he was directly thrown out by the Lava Immortal Palace, and his soul returned to his physical body.

Afterward, Ning Zhuo kept thinking back and had many insights.

"Just as Brother Sun said before, the sentient mechanism refined by the Lava Immortal Palace for trial disciples is a key."

"In subsequent challenges, the sentient mechanism is the foundation, and subsequent performance is carried out on it."

"Well, at least the Buddha Gate route is like this."

"After the second Buddha door, the level of materials provided by the level is obviously a grade higher than before."

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

"The difficulty of the level after the second Buddha door is far beyond before. The trial content has increased by nearly ten times, because it hasn't reached the bottom yet, so it's impossible to determine how much the content has increased."

"The battlefield for each test can be cleaned up. Various mechanical traps, obstacles, puppets, and Red Flame demonic beasts are all new materials, which can be used to repair sentient mechanisms, make more mechanical accessories and parts, install them on sentient mechanisms, or even directly manufacture mechanical individuals."

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

"The rewards of the first door and the Demon Gate do not provide direct help. Because throughout the entire test process, I have no way to command Yuan Da Sheng and can only rely on Yuan Da Sheng to attack on its own."

"From this point, it can also be seen. During the first Buddha door, the sentient mechanism refined is extremely important! The more spirituality it has, the more advantage it has in passing subsequent levels."

"The difficulties encountered by others who want to reach here will be much greater than mine, and the energy and time paid will definitely far exceed mine."

"Oh, I almost forgot."

"The Buddha Gate and the Demon Gate have been closed by me."

"They have no possibility of entering."

Ning Zhuo thought about it, but there were still flaws.

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

It required him to cheat again and close them.

Mainly, this time leaving the Immortal Palace caught Ning Zhuo off guard. After failing to pass the level, he was thrown out directly.

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

While Ning Zhuo was considering the levels, the Ning family patriarch and young patriarch were discussing him.

"Ning Zhuo has indeed 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."

"It's 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 need to pay attention to one thing."

"This time, 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—Ning Zhuo just called out, and these people gathered around him and acted with him. Ning Zhuo's influence in the side branches cannot be ignored!"

"Perhaps he is only in the Qi Refining stage now, but his name of talent has already been favored by countless side branches of the family."

"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, it is not in vain that I have carefully cultivated you for many years."

"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, it is time to let him understand the concept that the family is the main thing and the individual is the auxiliary."

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

"Go and beat him. Teach him well, so that he will become a sharp blade of my main branch in the future."

"Yes, Father. Child withdraws." Ning Xiaoren bowed and saluted, stepped back a few steps, and turned to leave.
