Chapter 168: How Dare He? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

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

He immediately ordered the trial disciples to take out a severed arm from the pile of waste.

The severed arm was dark red, flashing with metallic luster, very heavy, and revealed a forest of demonic energy.

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

"Is this also a mechanism in the Lava Immortal Palace?"

"What level of mechanism uses such materials?"

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

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

He was very interested and ordered the trial disciples to take out the red iron severed 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 Immortal Palace is not peaceful, and there are still continuous attacks by Red Flame demonic beasts on the Immortal Palace. You can take this good opportunity to accumulate a batch of contributions."

After the trial disciples did so, Zhu Xuanji discovered again: the contribution obtained by killing the same Red Flame demonic beast was far higher than that of others.

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

And they basically couldn't get the Immortal Palace to take the initiative to deliver messages, and the ways to obtain Immortal Palace contributions were few, the most important being to kill Red Flame demonic beasts.

However, the soldiers were dangerous, and this way of earning was very risky.

On the contrary, the trial disciples had a wider range of choices. 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 killing of Red Flame demonic beasts.

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

"By comparison, we have clearly been treated differently..."

Zhu Xuanji sighed with emotion.

For a moment, Zhu Xuanji had a fantasy of modification.

But it was only a fantasy.

He was already a Golden Dan. If it were the Qi Refining stage, there would still be a glimmer of possibility to regret and rebuild.

Once the Golden Dan is cast, the root is completely set, and this life and body can never be rebuilt again.

As the saying goes, there is no regret in Golden Dan, which is the reason.

The trial disciples accumulated contributions very rapidly, and soon someone accumulated enough to redeem the red iron severed arm from the Abandoned Room.

Zhu Xuanji came into contact with the severed arm, and at the same time used the Golden Eye talent and the Trace-Tracing Art to detect it.

He saw an underground lava cave.

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

A huge demonic ape, exuding the aura of the Golden Dan level, was sleeping with its eyes closed.

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

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

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

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

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

Zhu Xuanji easily guessed: the contribution of finding back the mechanical Demon General would far exceed the sum of his previous free contribution of three quasi-Golden Dan mechanical beasts. Because the mechanical Demon General itself was Golden Dan combat power, and it was an original mechanism perfectly matched with the Lava Immortal Palace.

The King's Order to Recruit the Worthy canceled Meng Kui's blockade of the mountain top and the Immortal Palace.

Countless people poured into the Lava Immortal Palace, most of them were excluded from the palace, but a very small number of people met the standards and entered the palace.

The Lava Immortal Palace became even more lively than before the blockade.

Zhu Xuanji also felt the pressure of competition.

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

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

The three major families were all investing in two ways.

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

The second way was to cultivate their own modification teams and constantly break through the levels of the Lava Immortal Palace.

Cultivation families are like this, not putting eggs in one basket.

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

Slap!

Ning Xiaoren was so angry that his palm slapped the table, and he roared in a low voice: "He actually did this?!"

"Good, good."

"Originally thought it was the Zhou family and Zheng family who saw through the layout and obtained the trial disciple mark."

"Didn't expect it to be 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 gain an advantage and level the gap between us and the Zhou family and Zheng family?"

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

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

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

"Eating inside and out!"

"Is he still a clansman of the Ning family? What did he learn after studying in the 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 a moment later, he ordered to freeze the resource supply to Ning Zhuo in the modification team.

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

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

"Ning Xiaohui is not striving."

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

Ning Xiaoren paced again, then issued a second order.

Ning Zhuo joined the modification team, he had the right to command Ning Zhuo, letting the latter do something.

"You are not focused on studying mechanical creations?"

"Very good, Ning Zhuo."

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

Ning Zhuo refused the order.

Ning Zhuo withdrew from the modification team.

"What?!" After Ning Xiaoren learned of this situation, he was dumbfounded on the spot.

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 was driven crazy, picked up the inkstone on the table, and smashed it on the ground.

After smashing it, he felt something was missing.

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

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

Ning Ze: "Ah—!"
