From that moment on, Yuan Dasheng was full of spirituality and could recover on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Ning Zhuo used the Cremation Prajna Spirit-Unlocking Scripture only to add spirituality to Yuan Dasheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, having unexpectedly realized the deeper meaning of the Cremation Scripture, he immediately knew that he had also made huge progress in mechanics!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He released more floating clouds and immediately tried his hand at it in the clouds for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He succeeded on the first try!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo obtained a mechanical long whip; it was like a snake, able to slither on the ground by itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after slithering for a while, the long whip stopped moving, as if it were dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not that the magic power in the mechanical long whip was exhausted—it still had plenty. Rather, the spirituality Ning Zhuo had extracted was used up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo then tried a few more times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were successes and failures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, failures occupied the majority, and successes were relatively rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allowed Ning Zhuo to see his own capability limits clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He secretly evaluated: \"So far, although I can make some mechanical creations with spiritual charm, the spiritual charm is quite thin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The more complete the mechanical creation, the higher the probability of failure, and the shorter the time the spirituality can support it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if I only make mechanical parts, or even mechanical accessories, the time the spirituality supports them is significantly extended.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should invest in higher-end raw materials.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it's not just that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need a lot of practice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My understanding and mastery of the Cremation Prajna Spirit-Unlocking Scripture also have huge room for improvement!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unexpected progress made Ning Zhuo feel extremely excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because as long as he mastered this spell, he would be able to tinker with spiritual-charm mechanical creations in the preparation room after his soul entered the Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for raw materials, he could use the various demon beasts and spiritual intelligences from the coffin room behind the Buddhist gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, with the Buddha Heart Demon Seal, Ning Zhuo could move in and out of the Molten Immortal Palace freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All along, when my soul entered the Immortal Palace, I have been troubled by the inability to bring in resources from the outside world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only ones that can enter and exit freely are the Golden Blood Battle Ape, Dasheng, and the Nether Envoy, Qi Bai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Bai was helplessly shelved by Ning Zhuo because its spirituality was about to run out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying solely on Yuan Dasheng, a single mechanical creation, it was already difficult to resist the increasing number of trial disciples. Among them, especially Meng Chong, the threat it posed was growing greater and greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo's control over the Molten Immortal Palace trial levels was rapidly declining!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, relying on the Cremation Prajna Spirit-Unlocking Scripture, Ning Zhuo had new hope to return to his former level of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xiangguo and Ning Xiangqian both came to report to Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This batch of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ning family had been guarding the black market for several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had successively captured quite a few cultivators who were causing trouble in the black market, openly starting fights, or deceiving people in very malicious ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo carefully examined the jade slip, and after a moment, said: \"Interrogate these people and ask about their backgrounds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These people have lighter offenses; once they pay their own ransom, they can leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep this last part and transfer them to Lord Fei Si of the City Lord's Mansion. He will like them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xiangguo and Ning Xiangqian immediately looked, and both discovered: the cultivators to be transferred to Fei Si were all wanted criminals, and they were on the wanted list of the Nandou Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xiangqian frowned: \"Should we transport them secretly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo shook his head: \"There is no need for that. We have done a great good deed; shouldn't we publicize it widely?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Xiangguo and Ning Xiangqian looked at each other, both realizing: Ning Zhuo had already reached some private agreement with Fei Si!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, when Fei Si received these captured wanted criminals, his heart was filled with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, these were all political achievements!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was not in vain that I took the initiative to lower my share to thirty percent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ning Zhuo, you are very understanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did not misjudge the person; on this point, even the former Sun Lingtong was not as sensible as you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fei Si sighed in admiration in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought for a moment and took the initiative to write a letter, asking Ning Xiangguo to take it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo unfolded the letter and saw that it was a visiting card; it was Fei Si asking to see the Gentleman of the Book on Ning Zhuo's behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gentleman of the Book was a Jin Dan cultivator from the All-Book Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The All-Book Tower was a super sect, and in terms of scale, it was much larger than the Soul-Devouring Sect or the Non-Empty Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first Tower Master who founded the All-Book Tower, feeling that there were too many people in the cultivation world who cherished their own brooms, had suffered from not being able to find suitable excellent cultivation techniques in his early years of cultivation, which delayed him for many days and caused him to take many detours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after achieving success in cultivation, he was determined to collect as many types of cultivation techniques, spells, and so on as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since its founding, the All-Book Tower had always maintained neutrality. They profited by selling cultivation techniques, spells, or other classics, and then used the profits to acquire more cultivation techniques, spells, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo immediately realized—Fei Si writing this visiting card for him was a subtle little favor, indicating the gratitude Fei Si could not state directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo set off immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, with the help of the visiting card, he met the Gentleman of the Book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gentleman of the Book was a Jin Dan cultivator; purely for the sake of Fei Si, he personally received Ning Zhuo, asked a word or two, gave Ning Zhuo an identity token, and let the latter leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the identity token, Ning Zhuo went to find the shopkeeper in charge of selling books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the branch of the All-Book Tower in Fire Persimmon Immortal City had not yet been built, the identity waist pendant Ning Zhuo held gave him the right to have special matters handled specially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper asked him what books he wanted to buy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was not in a hurry and asked if the other party was willing to acquire the first three levels of the Five-Element Qi Law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the shopkeeper told him: The All-Book Tower had already collected more than two hundred copies of the first three levels of cultivation techniques and had even passed them to other stations, letting the great cultivators in the stations compare and modify them, eventually completing a more universal and concise cultivation technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo marveled in his heart at the wealth and action capability of the All-Book Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then showed the shopkeeper spells like the Ice-Holding Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This immediately made the shopkeeper's eyes light up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, when the Dharma-Transmitting Bell transmitted the dharma, the whole city knew about it. Therefore, it became very easy for the All-Book Tower to collect the first three levels of cultivation techniques from the city residents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But spells like the Ice-Holding Art were only mastered by the Qi Refining geniuses of the four major forces and the members of the modification teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were too few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, the shopkeeper evaluated these spells and quoted a price to Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are usually two ways to trade classics in my All-Book Tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first is trading with spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second is exchanging for the corresponding Tower Gold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo did not hesitate: \"I choose Tower Gold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tower Gold is the All-Book Tower's own currency; it has no physical form and is just a digital record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trading with spirit stones is not cost-effective. Trading with Tower Gold can exchange for more classics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The All-Book Tower deliberately set up these two trading methods mainly to make comparisons, highlight the superiority of Tower Gold, and encourage more people to use Tower Gold for transactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo sold the Ice-Holding Art, Fire-Grasping Art, and so on, and possessed his first sum of Tower Gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not keep it and asked the shopkeeper what good books could be exchanged for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper replied: \"Young Master Ning Zhuo, our All-Book Tower encompasses everything. Although this sum of Tower Gold you have is not much, it can be exchanged for thousands of books; what exactly are you looking for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo thought for a moment; he had his main cultivation technique, and he had more spells than he had time to practice, especially the Five-Element Mutual Generation and Restriction Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What mechanical classics can I exchange for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, in the process of choosing, Ning Zhuo took a fancy to another book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he bought a book called \"Record of Clouds Falling at the End of the World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This book is a travelogue, the author's name is unknown, and he calls himself Luoyunzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many mechanical classics, but this book is quite rare and involves classics about destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have the mechanical classics left by my mother, and the content is very excellent. According to my current Tower Gold, it is basically impossible to exchange for something at the same level as my mother's relics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some classics will be helpful to me, but it is difficult for me to filter them out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is better to look at content related to destiny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 'Human Life Hanging by a Thread' involves destiny; perhaps it will be helpful for me to comprehend the complete divine ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo had a premonition: once the prototype of the \"Human Life Hanging by a Thread\" divine ability breaks through, he will have a terrifying improvement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, he would only be in the Qi Refining stage, yet he would be able to master a divine ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast majority of Jin Dan cultivators find it difficult to do such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Human Life Hanging by a Thread\" divine ability will become a powerful trump card for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo boarded the carriage with \"Record of Clouds Falling at the End of the World\" and read it all the way, but the lotus of the divine ability prototype did not tremble at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo had already read thirty percent of \"Record of Clouds Falling at the End of the World,\" and a story in the first part left the deepest impression on Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the story, it is said that a villager rescued Luoyunzi, who was about to die of thirst and hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To thank him, Luoyunzi offered to perform a ritual for the villager to change his luck, so that he could enjoy worldly wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villager did not believe him. The reason was simple: Luoyunzi was too disheveled and was rescued by the villager; what kind of ability could he have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luoyunzi then introduced himself: \"I was originally a person of the Idle Cloud Path, and when my nature arose, I fell into the mortal world against heaven's will. I once cultivated in the Heavenly Orbit Mansion, but now I run across the four seas with bad luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Luoyunzi, who displayed his style, the villager finally agreed reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villager followed Luoyunzi's requirements, purchased vigorously, and arranged everything one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the ritual was completed, and the villager's wealth flowed in from then on; after half a year, he became very wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, Luoyunzi told the villager: \"First, this wealth luck of yours can last for twelve years; grasp it well. Second, after you become a rich man, you must not have a shred of kindness. If you see anyone, no matter how difficult, down-and-out, or pitiful they are, do not save them, otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villager had a kind heart and could not bear to see people suffer. After persisting for a few years, he encountered a famine. He took the initiative to cast Luoyunzi's advice to the back of his mind, helped many poor people, and saved many people's lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own body became weaker and weaker, and he often felt exhausted. He was drowsy during the day and lacked energy. At night, he often had nightmares; in his dreams, countless ghosts pounced on him, heavy as small mountains, and he walked in the wilderness with great difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Luoyunzi sensed something and returned to the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villager had only one breath left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he died, he asked Luoyunzi, wanting to resolve his confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luoyunzi sighed: \"You have encountered small ghosts and evil ghosts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you not to show kindness and save people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your kindness is well-intentioned, but it also provides an opportunity for ghosts and resentful spirits to attach themselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this world, there are actually many souls who cannot rest in peace because of resentment and greed; they will use your kindness to satisfy their own needs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being rich and unkind is wrong, but being indiscriminately kind is even more harmful to yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you cannot help others correctly, you will be dragged down by those evil ghosts and small ghosts, pulling you all the way down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being a good person is always much harder than being a bad person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing these words from Luoyunzi, the villager seemed very excited and asked again: \"Then how can I deal with these evil ghosts and small ghosts? What counts as helping people correctly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luoyunzi said: \"Transcend them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villager smiled bitterly: \"I am just a mortal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luoyunzi added: \"Transcendence is not just about spells; mortals also have means. You arrange work for them and let them labor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Labor can transcend people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2422,"2026-06-17T23:33:09.460Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","59fc5be22fb28bca9e501b8c5714a8c5e6c8747aad1ca671aff053c7a366c13c","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-185","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-183",783,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-craftsmanship-cover.jpg"]
