Chapter 216: Achievement Stems from Personal Effort

Five Elements Mutual Generation and Mutual Restraint Technique!

Unlike Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged on a futon, holding the Five Elements Ruler in his hand.

He infused five-element magic power into this magic treasure.

The formation patterns on the Five Elements Ruler flashed, flowing out five strands of single-line magic power—White Gold, Green Wood, Black Water, Red Fire, Yellow Earth!

The five strands of single-line magic power coiled around Unlike Ning Zhuo's body, flying up and down like swimming dragons.

Gold generates water, water generates wood... according to the relationship of five elements mutual generation, the single-line magic power finally transformed and merged, becoming yellow-brown earth-line magic power.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed with a faint light, and the earth-line magic power divided into two parts. Two parts remained, still earth-line. The remaining eight parts went to mutual generation, from earth generating gold, completely transforming into gold-line magic power.

The gold-line magic power divided into two parts. First, leave one part of gold-line magic power, and the rest went from gold generating water, turning into black water-line magic power.

Water-line turned into wood-line, wood-line turned into fire-line.

In the end, what circled around Unlike Ning Zhuo were still five strands of single-line magic power.

Only compared to before, these five strands of magic power had all shrunk a lot.

Although it is five elements mutual generation, there will be no small loss when transforming into the next stage.

Such practice, Unlike Ning Zhuo had already performed thousands of times!

At the very beginning, he did this practice stumbling, taking a long time.

And now, his entire conversion process was already quite smooth, the time shortened to one-tenth of the original, and even more.

After practicing generation, Unlike Ning Zhuo started practicing restraint.

He let the five strands of single-line magic power confront each other.

For a time, five-colored radiance shone on his face, the five strands of single-line magic power like thin snakes and swimming dragons, entangling and confronting each other, and also constantly generating and destroying, changing lines.

All kinds of complex changes were gorgeous to the extreme, making one dizzy to look at.

"Five elements mutual restraint can restrain any kind of mechanism creation from the magic power. As long as this mechanism creation uses five-element mixing, or single-line magic power."

Unlike Ning Zhuo thought of the Magic-Dyed Blood Tendon Art and the Mirror Platform Spirit-Connecting Art.

"The Three Sects' Supreme Master designed these three arts, actually to strictly control mechanism creations from the three aspects of spiritual thoughts, magic power, and blood prohibition."

"My Buddha Heart Demon Seal and the Human Thread of Life supernatural power can be considered higher-standard control means."

"The Three Sects' Supreme Master seems to be very afraid of mechanism creations losing control?"

"The three arts and various spells he designed are all to strengthen the control over mechanisms."

Unlike Ning Zhuo slowly finished his practice and put the Five Elements Ruler into his storage belt.

"The Five Elements Mutual Generation and Mutual Restraint Technique has already had small results."

Since Unlike Ning Zhuo obtained this spell, he had been practicing it diligently without interruption.

Now, he had practiced this spell to a level of extreme proficiency, as if it were breathing, becoming an instinct, relaxed and casual.

"Next is to become skillful through practice."

"This is not something that can be achieved by simple diligent practice; it requires flashes of spiritual light in the mind during use."

Unlike Ning Zhuo planned to reduce the amount of practice.

The training goal of becoming skillful through practice is unpredictable.

Perhaps it is a few days, perhaps it is dozens of days, perhaps it is several years... all are possible.

He knew it was time to go to the second Dao Gate to receive the Five Elements Turning Spirit Disk.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's residence.

He summoned the classmates from the modification team.

In the small courtyard, everyone gathered together, all with excited and happy smiles on their faces.

The young people greeted Unlike Ning Zhuo one after another.

"Brother Zhuo, how is your research on the substitute puppet going? I can also contribute my own flesh and blood for your research; no need to charge even a single spirit stone!"

"Brother Zhuo, can we really make that mechanism ape? That is Golden Core-level! The three major families are all busy with this matter; you are really too amazing."

Unlike Ning Zhuo's use of the three families' power to forge the Golden Core-level ape mechanism had caused a great impact.

You must know that Unlike Ning Zhuo was only a "third-layer Qi Refining" cultivator, yet he had accomplished such a big thing.

His classmates couldn't help but feel envy and admiration.

Regarding this point, Unlike Ning Zhuo needed to clarify.

He said: "The matter of the Golden Core-level ape mechanism is actually not even a start yet."

"I just want to make its skeleton and external armor first."

"The real key has always been its internal structure and various mechanism components."

"In this aspect, I am still designing. Sigh, the difficulty is too high!"

Speaking of this, Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He told everyone with an honest attitude: "In fact, whether it is researching substitute puppets or building a Golden Core-level mechanism ape, it is all behavior triggered by my inner fear."

"Sigh, previously the three families acted together, and Ning Xiaohui framed me, hurting me too deeply, which touched me greatly!"

"Even one's own family is like this, let alone outsiders?"

"Not long ago, the two elders Ning Houjun and Ning Youfu also specifically exhorted me to pay attention to safety."

"I also happened to be in charge of the black market by chance, and I have been in the limelight recently; I don't know how many people are staring at me in the dark. It is indeed very dangerous."

Ning Yong was the first to become excited: "Ning Xiaohui, this villain, when we were studying in the school together, I even secretly liked her!"

"She is simply the shame of the main branch and the shame of the Ning family!"

Ning Chen comforted: "Brother Zhuo, it doesn't matter. The ancestor of our clan has already spoken; you are the greatest hero of the Ning family. That group of people in the main branch will never dare to deal with you so blatantly again."

Someone expressed opposition: "However, acting in the dark is even more difficult to guard against, even more terrifying, isn't it?"

Most people were filled with righteous indignation: "Hmph, these despicable villains, they just can't stand that a pillar, a future family elder, has appeared in our branch!"

"Alright, alright." Unlike Ning Zhuo reached out to stop everyone's discussion.

Like usual, he began to explain his insights and experiences in casting spells.

A group of classmates soon immersed themselves in it, listening with fascination.

Unlike Ning Zhuo demonstrated five-element spells in public, often triggering bursts of exclamation.

Cousin Ning Ji smiled on the surface, as if obsessed. In reality, he didn't settle his heart at all, failing to integrate into it, always detached, out of tune with the modification team.

"I don't cultivate the Five Elements Qi Law Art!"

Listening to these things about casting spells, he was very impatient, feeling bored and dry.

In his mind, he was savoring the wonderful feeling of being in charge of others in the black market and acting like a tyrant.

Initially relying on Unlike Ning Zhuo, Cousin Ning Ji was extremely uncomfortable and secretly complained to his father, Ning Ze.

He felt that the black market was dirty, messy, and poor, containing huge risks, and doing these things was bitter and tiring, without any sense of honor.

At the same time, he was also very worried that Unlike Ning Zhuo would take revenge on him because of past events.

Ning Ze told him to set his heart at ease, telling him: Unlike Ning Zhuo would definitely tolerate him.

"Father has already seen it; Unlike Ning Zhuo is ambitious and wants to have huge achievements; he must pay attention to his reputation."

"He will never do things like forgetting righteousness after success and being harsh to relatives!"

This comfort seemed to open a new world for Cousin Ning Ji.

After experimenting in the black market, he discovered that many people were indeed wary of him being Unlike Ning Zhuo's relative, tolerating him or even fawning over him.

This allowed him to act like a tyrant, secretly accepting filial piety from many people, abusing his power, and opening back doors for others.

His little life was quite comfortable, and he experienced the wonderful feeling of power. Even if it was only a little bit of power.

Regarding his performance, it wasn't that the former deacons hadn't reported it upward.

But regarding these reports, Unlike Ning Zhuo turned a deaf ear and made no move.

This attitude already indicated everything. The shrewd former deacons also followed the example and pretended not to see Cousin Ning Ji's many corrupt acts.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo explained many essentials of spell casting to everyone, he commented on the mechanism creations they made, and if he encountered excellent ones, he would buy them with spirit stones.

It is worth mentioning that Unlike Ning Zhuo, with the help of these classmates and mechanism workshops like Chen Cha's, had been purchasing mechanism creations from the outside. He accumulated mechanisms very quickly.

Last time, he had a life-and-death battle with Qi Bai, almost emptying his combat reserves of sixteen years.

In the short time since then, the mechanism creations he had prepared were close to thirty percent of the original!

When Unlike Ning Zhuo told his classmates that the next step was to explore the Lava Xian Gong together, his classmates were all excited.

"Brother Zhuo, we have been waiting for this day!"

"Finally, we can explore the Xian Gong with you again, Brother Zhuo."

"Exploring with Brother Zhuo is super happy!"

According to the Xian Gong's mechanism, each person can enter the Xian Gong with their soul at most three times a day.

But in reality, trial disciples basically don't use it three times. Sometimes, they don't even have a single exploration.

The main reason is that they can't gain anything in the actions of exploring the Xian Gong.

They have already received all the spell rewards they can bring out of the Xian Gong. Everyone receives different spells, and after coming out, they share them with each other, and soon, everyone masters all the spells.

This is the benefit of having many people.

They can't squeeze into the leaderboard and can't receive the leaderboard rewards.

At most, they pass levels in the puppet body to exercise their mechanism skills in this way.

But this efficiency is far inferior to them making mechanism creations in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City and in the mechanism workshops.

And exploring the Xian Gong consumes soul power.

For most people, without obvious progress in strength, the significance of repeated exploration is not great.

Not long after, everyone gathered at the Lava Xian Gong.

Puppet Unlike Ning Zhuo took the lead, leading his classmates to pass levels one after another.

Seeing various reward spells being picked up by Unlike Ning Zhuo, Ning Chen, Ning Yong, and others called it art.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo obtained dozens of Flying Swimming Hands, his spell offensive directly crossed a big step.

The Flying Swimming Hand mechanism and Unlike Ning Zhuo's puppet body cast spells together, simply like dozens of cultivators attacking together. A large number of spells erupted together, the radiance of various spells intertwined, gorgeous and dangerous.

Looking at Unlike Ning Zhuo moving forward, waving his hands to bring wind, thunder, fire, and electricity, looking dashing and majestic, his classmates were all excited.

At sixteen or seventeen years old, they were at the age of worshiping heroes and longing to be in the limelight.

The style Unlike Ning Zhuo displayed made them yearn from the bottom of their bones!

In the leisure time of passing levels, Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled and encouraged everyone: "You can also reach my level."

"But it requires diligent practice and paying a large amount of time and effort."

"In order to master these spells well, I also paid a lot in secret!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo, who had exchanged for a large amount of spell-casting experience by receiving leaderboard rewards, said without blushing or panting.

Looking at Unlike Ning Zhuo, who possessed talent, was diligent and hardworking, and was humble and approachable, everyone was convinced. ===== CHAPTER 217 =====
