Chapter 168

Zhu Xuanji's expression changed, and he had a new discovery.

He immediately gave an order, letting the trial disciple take out a broken arm from the scrap products piled up like a mountain.

The broken arm was dark red, flashing with metallic luster, very heavy, and revealed a gloomy demonic energy.

"The quality is very high, it is definitely a Golden Core-level material. And it is not a single material, but a brand new mixed material made by using alchemy." Zhu Xuanji whispered in his heart.

"Is this also a mechanism in the Lava Xian Gong?"

"What level of mechanism uses such materials?"

Zhu Xuanji's mind instantly recalled the three major mechanical creations of the Lava Xian Gong—Dao Master, Buddha Doctor, and Demon General.

"Could this be the arm of the Demon General?" Zhu Xuanji naturally made such a guess.

He was very interested and ordered the trial disciple to take out the red iron broken arm.

But it didn't succeed.

The trial disciple had a bitter face: "Lord Zhu, I can't do it. My contribution is too low."

Zhu Xuanji smiled: "It doesn't matter. The Lava Xian Gong is not peaceful, and there are still continuous attacks by Red Flame Demon Beasts on the Xian Gong. You can take this opportunity to accumulate a batch of contributions."

After the trial disciples did so, Zhu Xuanji discovered again: killing the same Red Flame Demon Beast, the contribution obtained by the trial disciple was far higher than others.

Zhu Xuanji also discovered that the trial disciples could receive key messages from time to time and possessed more ways to earn contributions.

And they basically couldn't receive messages actively delivered by the Xian Gong, and the ways to obtain Xian Gong contributions were few, the most important being to behead Red Flame Demon Beasts.

However, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the risk of this path is quite high.

Looking at the trial disciples, their range of choices was wide. For example, taking mechanical parts from the Abandoned Room for repair and assembly.

Zhu Xuanji observed their actual income and was surprised to find that the income from this repair work was better, completely comparable to their beheading of Red Flame Demon Beasts.

"Is this the treatment enjoyed by practicing the techniques provided by the Three Sects Master?"

"In comparison, we people are obviously treated differently..."

Zhu Xuanji sighed endlessly.

There was such a moment, Zhu Xuanji had a fantasy of modification.

But it was only a fantasy.

He was already a Golden Core. If it were the Foundation Establishment period, there would still be a possibility of regret and re-cultivation.

Once the Golden Core is cast, the root is completely set, and this life and body can no longer be re-cultivated.

As the saying goes, Golden Core has no regrets, which is the reason.

The trial disciple's contribution accumulation speed was very rapid, and soon someone accumulated to a certain degree, enough to exchange for that red iron broken arm from the Abandoned Room.

Zhu Xuanji came into contact with the broken arm and used the Golden Eye talent and the Trace-Tracing Technique to detect it.

He saw an underground lava cave.

The cave space was huge, possessing countless pillars, thick and thin, supporting the cave walls.

A huge demon ape, emitting a Golden Core-level aura, was sleeping with its eyes closed.

In the stone pillar where it slept, there was a hole, storing the demon ape's various spoils of war. Among them was a broken mechanical puppet.

"Mechanical Demon General!!" Zhu Xuanji's eyes lit up instantly.

"Looking at this appearance, this underground lava cave should be the demon ape's lair, similar to the location of the royal court."

"The mechanical Demon General fell here, but if I can find it back, I will inevitably obtain a large amount of contribution."

"If I can repair it and return it, the contribution should be even more!"

Zhu Xuanji could easily guess: the contribution of finding the mechanical Demon General would far exceed the sum of his previous free contributions of three quasi-Golden Core mechanical beasts. Because the mechanical Demon General itself was Golden Core combat power, and it was an original mechanism perfectly matched with the Lava Xian Gong.

The King's recruitment order made Meng Kui cancel the blockade on the top of the mountain and the Xian Gong.

Countless people flocked to the Lava Xian Gong, the vast majority were excluded from the palace, but a very small number of people met the standards and entered the palace.

The Lava Xian Gong became even more lively than before the blockade.

Zhu Xuanji also felt the pressure of competition from it.

At present, he urgently needed to obtain a huge amount of contribution, widen the gap with the chasers behind him, and determine his advantage.

The Golden Core ancestors of the three families in Fire Persimmon City were Zhu Xuanji's helpers.

The three major families were all investing in two ways.

The first path was to rely on Zhu Xuanji, express loyalty, and rely on the royal family.

The second path was to cultivate their own modification team and constantly break through the checkpoints of the Lava Xian Gong.

Cultivation families are this style of doing things, not putting eggs in one basket.

Therefore, true major cultivation clans have high-level cultivators, serving in different countries, and even hostile countries.

Slap!

Ning Xiaoren patted the table with his palm and roared in a low voice: "He actually did this?!"

"Good, good."

"Originally thought it was the Zhou family and the Zheng family who discovered the layout one after another and groped to obtain the trial disciple mark."

"I didn't expect it to be Unlike Ning Zhuo!"

"For the sake of a mere thousand spirit stones, he sold such important intelligence to Zheng Jian and Zhou Zeshen!"

"Does he know that our Ning family could take the opportunity to obtain an advantage and level the gap between us and the Zhou family and the Zheng family?"

"He actually disregarded the overall situation of the family for his own selfish interests!"

"This Unlike Ning Zhuo's vision is too short-sighted, too narrow, too selfish."

"Just because he didn't promise him Ice Jade Wine, he immediately sold the intelligence to an outside clan."

"Eating inside and out!"

"Is he still a clansman of the Ning family? What did he learn after attending school for so many years?!"

"It seems that I must give him a lesson, let him know that he did too poorly and was too wrong."

Ning Xiaoren paced back and forth in the study, and after a while, he gave an order to freeze the resource supply to Unlike Ning Zhuo in the modification team first.

But immediately, he thought that Unlike Ning Zhuo's cultivation resources were far more than this, and there were many other channels of income, which were very abundant.

Ning Xiaoren thought of Ning Xiaohui again, thinking that she gathered main branch members, but only broke through to Room No. 2, while Unlike Ning Zhuo broke through to Room No. 8.

"Ning Xiaohui is not promising."

"If she could suppress Unlike Ning Zhuo, could this kid still make waves, and be so ambitious?!"

Ning Xiaoren paced again, then gave the second order.

Unlike Ning Zhuo joined the modification team, and he had the right to command Unlike Ning Zhuo to do something.

"Aren't you focused on studying mechanical creations?"

"Very good, Unlike Ning Zhuo."

"Now, you can't even spare half an hour to study your mechanism." Ning Xiaoren sneered in his heart.

Unlike Ning Zhuo refused the order.

Unlike Ning Zhuo withdrew from the modification team.

"What?!" Ning Xiaoren was dumbfounded when he learned of this situation.

After reacting, his heart was filled with anger and hatred.

"Bold and reckless, bold and reckless!"

"How dare he, how dare he!"

"How dare he refuse the family's appointment, how dare he unilaterally withdraw from the modification team?!"

"Ah ah ah ah!"

Ning Xiaoren went crazy, picked up the inkstone on the table, and smashed it on the ground.

After smashing it, he felt something was missing.

Thus, he came to the private prison and met Ning Ze.

"Your good nephew!" Ning Xiaoren raised his long whip and kept whipping Ning Ze to vent his anger.

Ning Ze: "Ah—!"
