Chapter 192: Golden Core Enters the Game

It was the Zhou family's turn.

The Zhou family head appeared: "My family started with a Spirit Gathering Array. As everyone knows, this array gave birth to an array spirit."

"The Spirit Gathering Array's array spirit can consume some of its own spirituality to cast spells and bless the soul body."

"With this spell, cultivators can automatically absorb external spiritual energy, automatically convert personal magic power, and also reduce various consumption of spellcasting."

The Zheng family brought out the Ghost Martial God Soldier Training Formula, the Zhou family activated the Spirit Gathering Array's array spirit, while the Ning family brought out the Foundation Establishment ghost cultivator Ning Ning Xie, who came with the 'Snow Soul Ice Soul' talent!

Unlike Ning Zhuo's mood was grave.

These were all the heritages of each family, all big moves. They were usually hidden away, but now they were brought out for use.

Thinking of what the Ning family head said about "concerning the Golden Core ancestors," the actions of the three families became reasonable.

"Alright, you continue to discuss; we won't delay you." The Zhou family head waved his hand and left the secret room.

The Ning family head also followed and left.

Ning Ning Xie, however, still floated in mid-air, hugging his arms, staring at Unlike Ning Zhuo, his gaze icy.

Unlike Ning Zhuo seemed to be unable to feel it, his attitude of treating him as air made Ning Ning Xie quite stifled.

Zheng Hua continued: "These five jade slips record all the materials, spirit stones, and mechanism parts we have scouted."

"Because it is extremely difficult to bring items into the Lava Xian Gong, the materials we can use in this battle are only these."

The Ning family's Ning Ning Xie could be considered the greatest achievement of the three families' joint research on the Lava Xian Gong, attempting to bring items in.

In fact, the three families each had ghost cultivators hidden away as family heritage.

Only Ning Ning Xie was able to succeed because he possessed talent, and his talent could form some kind of mysterious cooperation with Ning Ning Xiaohui's talent.

Unlike Ning Zhuo pressed the jade slip against his brow, and after checking it, his mood became even graver.

The content in the jade slip was very detailed; the spirit stones alone were calculated very accurately.

It calculated the number of all explorers and assumed that everyone chose the spirit stone reward, calculating the maximum number of spirit stones the entire exploration team could obtain.

If they didn't choose, what the number of spirit stones would be.

Among this, it was divided into stages of thirty percent, fifty percent, seventy percent, ninety percent, etc., all calculated with detailed spirit stone figures.

And the number of mechanism parts like hanging rings, small flying boxes, etc., was also the same.

The materials that could be purchased in the Maintenance Room using spirit stones, and the duration of each piece of production tool that could be used, all had extremely precise calculation results.

Not only that, there were more than a dozen mechanism creations in the jade slip, classified by category.

Zheng Hua explained at the right time: "These are all mechanism creations that our three families have discussed and carefully selected."

"Their functions and power have detailed introductions, and the materials, spirit stones, etc., used to construct them have all been calculated with detailed amounts."

"If everyone has any good ideas for mechanism creations, feel free to propose them, and we will explore them further."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was silent.

Zhou Zeshen, however, looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo, not letting him go, his face smiling, his expression earnest: "Brother Ning, you must have also seen that most of these mechanism creations come from my sect, the Mud Flow Sect."

"What the Mud Flow Sect is best at is mechanisms for modifying terrain, which is also the main business of the sect."

"Burrowing Rats are used to soften the mountain body and drill tunnels, Night Sky Bats are used to detect terrain and draw three-dimensional maps, White Tiger Power-Rams are used to open large tunnels, and Mud Gate Earth-Shaking Hammers are used to smash giant rocks and compact foundations."

"Brother Ning's mechanism talent is well-known. The mechanism Fire-Explosion Monkeys and Fire-Bamboo Snakes you designed are also good at combat."

"Therefore, your suggestions are very important!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled shallowly: "I will definitely do my best, but these mechanisms need careful study before I can express my views. The matter is of great importance, and I dare not speak casually."

"Hahaha." Zhou Zeshen laughed, "Then we will wait for Brother Ning's high opinion."

Zheng Hua continued: "Next, I will introduce to everyone several tactics that the three families have already prepared."

"The first one is the Zhou family battle formation."

After the discussion ended, Unlike Ning Zhuo returned to his own single room.

Along the way, his brows were furrowed, and his mood was grave.

"Maintenance Room, mature tactics, the heritage of the three families..." Unlike Ning Zhuo pondered and reviewed in his heart, feeling the huge pressure even more.

What he had imagined before was correct; the three families' alliance did indeed rely on the function of the Maintenance Room.

But it was not entirely correct.

Whether it was the several major battle methods of the three families' alliance or the heritage brought out by the three families, almost all were beyond his expectations.

This secret of "concerning the Golden Core ancestors" made him unable to guess what exactly happened at the upper level.

"Three families' alliance... there are many people and great power." Unlike Ning Zhuo deeply felt the advantage of having many people.

Even if not one of them made it to the rankings and received abundant spirit stone rewards, the pass rewards piled up by the number of people alone were already a huge amount.

The three families' alliance integrated and organized all resources, and then made extremely precise calculations, on the basis of which they researched the optimal ratio.

It could be said that they fully excavated their own combat potential.

Now, Unlike Ning Zhuo's greatest fortune was that the exploration route of 'Soul Entering the Xian Gong' prohibited bringing external items into the palace.

For Unlike Ning Zhuo, this was a very significant layer of protection.

If external items could really be brought in, then the three major families would be able to erupt with even more terrifying combat power!

Unlike Ning Zhuo took out the Floating Cloud Cloth, stayed in the depths of the floating clouds, and then entered the Xian Gong with his soul.

Sun Lingtong had long been waiting for him.

Unlike Ning Zhuo informed him of the latest intelligence, and Sun Lingtong's mood also became grave: "The enemy's strength is so powerful; looking at it this way, we must let Qi Bai fight for us to have a possibility of victory."

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed: "Relying on Yuan Yuan Dasheng alone is indeed very difficult."

"However, don't be too aggressive."

"If it really doesn't work, I won't accept the battle this time."

"Must guard against the dark hands of the Soul-Devouring Sect."

Sun Lingtong nodded: "Rest assured, I have a sense of proportion!"

Sun Lingtong returned his soul to his body, looking at the Qi Bai storage bag in front of him, his brows furrowed, his face full of determination.

He had long had a plan in his heart: "Little Zhuo is single-mindedly trying to seize the Lava Xian Gong."

"This goal is not just a major opportunity in his life, but also his mother's dying wish, a task he must complete!"

"This significance is too great for him!"

"He said it lightly, thinking I don't know? If we don't accept the battle, the three families' alliance will drive straight in, which is more likely to arouse their suspicion."

"As his boss, if I don't support him at this time, when will I?"

Sun Lingtong cracked Qi Bai's storage bag; the progress was very slow, but after accumulating over time, it had already reached the final moment.

"Time is limited, I need to take a risk!"

As a person from a demonic sect, Sun Lingtong never lacked a spirit of adventure. In the Qi Condensation stage, he stole treasures from Foundation Establishment cultivators, was once caught for stealing, and was even imprisoned and tortured by the sect.

He was not forced to take risks, but rather liked adventure, liking the feeling of making himself feel physically and mentally refreshed and happy through stimulating activities like stealing.

"Then come on!" Sun Lingtong puffed out his cheeks, gathered all his strength, and launched the spell.

Not long after, Qi Bai's storage bag was opened, and a wisp of black-gray light smoke floated into the sky.

Sun Lingtong was quick-eyed and fast-handed, taking advantage of the fact that this wisp of light smoke had not drifted far, and directly pinched it out!

"Good!"

"My estimation was correct; there were no other defensive measures. Hahaha, I handled a Golden Core cultivator's storage bag!"

Sun Lingtong immediately checked; Qi Bai's storage bag had abundant materials and was worth a fortune.

There were seven magic tools that were not commonly used.

The cultivation resources were almost all closely related to soul cultivation.

Several unrelated materials were all Golden Core grade. It was not easy to sell such materials; it required a suitable auction or trading candidate.

Therefore, they were all backlogged in Qi Bai's hands.

And the most valuable were some of Qi Bai's daily sundries.

"These are all excellent fuel for the 'Fire Cremation Prajna Spirit-Unlocking Scripture'." Sun Lingtong was overjoyed.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had long since passed the relevant scriptures to Sun Lingtong.

Therefore, at Unlike Ning Zhuo's special training pass, Sun Lingtong could also calcine items with his own power, adding spirituality to Qi Bai.

In a certain darkness, two ghost fires suddenly lit up.

Looking closely, it was discovered that these two ghost fires were the eyes of a cultivator.

Luo Shang!

A true disciple of the Soul-Devouring Sect, shouldering the sect's heavy responsibility of finding the true culprit who killed Qi Bai and carrying out revenge.

He had long since lurked into Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, without attracting anyone's attention, always hiding his identity.

"The two Soul-Devouring Sect disciples in the City Lord's Mansion's dungeon are just bait and traps."

"Han Ming has been missing and out of contact; what is the reason?"

"Up to now, she has not responded to my secret transmission."

"Hmm?!"

At this moment, Luo Shang sensed Qi Bai's aura.

He had always been urging the sect's secret method.

"It's in that direction... inside the mountain body!"

The ghost fire disappeared, and Luo Shang immediately set off.

Not long after he disappeared, a female cultivator flashed over.

Her face was like a peach blossom, her figure tall and graceful; it was Yang Chanyu of the Non-Empty Sect.

Yang Chanyu mingled in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, constantly changing her appearance all day long, wandering around, one of her main purposes being to find Sun Lingtong.

In the sect, Sun Lingtong's soul tablet was normal.

Although the black market was destroyed and Sun Lingtong had long been wanted, Yang Chanyu was convinced that Sun Lingtong was in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng.

"Where did this little thing hide?"

"I left a secret signal, and not one was triggered by him."

"Hmph, he is deliberately hiding from me!"

Yang Chanyu couldn't find Sun Lingtong, but she unexpectedly discovered Luo Shang.

As soon as Luo Shang had any movement, Yang Chanyu felt it; after thinking about it, she decided to secretly pursue him to see what exactly Luo Shang had discovered.

Luo Shang was cautious, finding a gap in the Xiancheng's array, making a big circle, and finding the secret base in the mountain body.

However, when he entered the secret base, Sun Lingtong had long since left.

Sun Lingtong had gone to another underground base to replenish spirituality for Qi Bai.

Luo Shang thought about it and felt that Sun Lingtong would return, so he decided to wait for the rabbit!

"An underground base... wait, it's Sun Lingtong's aura. Hmph, this little ghost, I finally found you." Yang Chanyu snorted coldly and also lurked down.

And in another secret room.

Zhu Zhu Xuanji summoned the Golden Core ancestors of the three families and was conducting a second secret negotiation.

In the previous first negotiation, Zhu Zhu Xuanji proposed cooperation. He wanted the Golden Core ancestors of the three families to fully assist him, combine their teams, kill their way into Fire Persimmon Mountain, go straight to the demon ape's lair, and take back the demon general's shell!

The risk of this action was very high; even at the Golden Core level, there was a possibility of falling. But if six Golden Core cultivators joined forces and cooperated sincerely, there was also a not-small chance of success.

The most critical thing was that the benefits were high!

Part of it was the rich spoils of destroying the demon ape's lair, and the other part was the remuneration Zhu Zhu Xuanji provided for the Golden Core cultivators to help.

The remuneration was very tempting.

Therefore, the Golden Core cultivators of the three families were all in a state of indecision.

Zhu Zhu Xuanji asked with a smile: "Fellow Daoists, I wonder how you have considered it?"

Zheng Shuanggou took the lead: "It is okay for the two of us to take action, but... you have to pay more!" ===== CHAPTER 193 =====
