Chapter 216
Five Elements Mutual Generation and Mutual Restraint technique!
Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged on a cushion, holding the Five Elements Ruler in his hand.
He poured five-element magic power into this magic treasure.
The array patterns around the Five Elements Ruler shone, flowing out five strands of single-element magic power—white gold, green wood, black water, red fire, yellow earth!
The five strands of single-element magic power circled around Ning Zhuo, like swimming dragons flying up and down.
Metal generates water, water generates wood... according to the relationship of five-element mutual generation, the single-element magic power finally transformed and merged, becoming yellow-brown earth-element magic power.
Ning Zhuo's eyes shone with a faint light, and the earth-element magic power was divided into two parts. Two percent remained, still earth-element. The remaining eight percent generated, from earth generating metal, completely transformed into metal-element magic power.
The metal-element magic power was divided into two parts. First, leave a portion of metal-element magic power, and the rest generated water from metal, turning into black water-element magic power.
Water element turned into wood element, wood element turned into fire element.
In the end, what circled around Ning Zhuo were still five strands of single-element magic power.
It's just that compared to before, these five strands of magic power had all shrunk a lot.
Although it is five-element mutual generation, there will be no small loss when transforming into the next stage.
Ning Zhuo had already performed this practice thousands of times!
At the very beginning, he did this practice stumbling and it took a long time.
And now, his entire conversion process was quite smooth, the time shortened to one-tenth of the original, and even more.
After practicing generation, Ning Zhuo began to practice restraint.
He let the five strands of single-element magic power confront each other.
For a time, five-colored brilliance shone on his face, and the five strands of single-element magic power were like thin snakes and swimming dragons, entangled and confronting each other, and constantly generating and destroying and changing.
Various complex changes were gorgeous to the extreme, making people dazzled.
"Five elements mutual restraint can restrain any mechanical creation from the magic power. As long as this mechanical creation uses five-element mixing or single-element magic power."
Ning Zhuo thought of the Magic-Stained Blood Tendon Art and the Mirror Platform Spirit-Communication Art again.
"The Three-Sect Supreme Master designed these three cultivation arts, actually to strictly control mechanical creations from the three aspects of spiritual thoughts, magic power, and blood prohibition."
"My Buddha Heart Demon Seal and the supernatural power Human Thread are higher-standard control means."
"The Three-Sect Supreme Master seems to be very afraid of mechanical creations losing control?"
"The three cultivation arts and various magic spells he designed are all to strengthen the control over the mechanism."
Ning Zhuo slowly stopped his cultivation and put the Five Elements Ruler into his storage belt.
"The Five Elements Mutual Generation and Mutual Restraint technique has already achieved small results."
Since Ning Zhuo obtained this magic spell, he had been practicing diligently without interruption.
Now, he had practiced this magic spell to an extremely proficient degree, as if it were breathing, becoming an instinct, relaxed and casual.
"The next step is to become skillful through practice."
"This is not something that can be achieved by simple diligent practice; it requires flashes of inspiration in the mind during use."
Ning Zhuo planned to reduce the amount of practice.
The training goal of becoming skillful through practice is unpredictable.
Maybe it's a few days, maybe it's dozens of days, maybe it's 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.
Ning Zhuo's residence.
He summoned the classmates from the modification team.
In the small courtyard, everyone gathered together, each with a vibrant and joyful smile on their faces.
The teenagers greeted Ning Zhuo one after another.
"Brother Zhuo, how is your substitute puppet research going? I can also contribute my flesh and blood for your research, no need to charge even a single spirit stone!"
"Brother Zhuo, can we really make that mechanical ape? That's a Jin Dan level one! The three major families are all busy with this matter, you are really too amazing."
Ning Zhuo's use of the power of the three families to forge a Jin Dan level ape mechanism had caused a great impact.
You know, Ning Zhuo was only at the "third level of Qi Refining", yet he accomplished such a big thing.
His classmates couldn't help but feel envious and respectful.
Regarding this point, Ning Zhuo needed to clarify.
He said: "The matter of the Jin Dan 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, various mechanical parts."
"In this regard, I am still designing. Sigh, the difficulty is too high!"
Speaking of this, Ning Zhuo shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He told everyone with an honest attitude: "Actually, whether it's researching substitute puppets or building a Jin Dan level mechanical ape, it's all behavior triggered by my inner fear."
"Sigh, previously the three families acted together, 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 told me to pay attention to safety."
"I am also in charge of the black market by chance, and I have been in the limelight recently, and 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 get 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 line, 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 line 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." Ning Zhuo reached out to stop everyone's discussion.
Like usual, he began to explain his insights on casting spells.
A group of classmates soon immersed themselves in it, listening with fascination.
Ning Zhuo demonstrated five-element magic spells in public, often triggering bursts of exclamation.
Ning Ji wore a smile on his face, as if obsessed. In fact, he didn't settle his heart at all, integrated into it, and he was always detached, out of tune with the modification team.
"I don't practice the Five Elements Qi Law Art!"
Listening to these spell-casting things, he was very impatient, feeling bored and dry.
In his mind, he was savoring the wonderful feeling of managing others in the black market and acting like a tyrant.
Initially joining Ning Zhuo, Ning Ji was extremely uncomfortable and secretly complained to his father, Ning Ze.
He felt that the black market was dirty and messy, contained 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 Ning Zhuo would take revenge on him because of past events.
Ning Ze told him to relax, telling him: Ning Zhuo would definitely tolerate him.
"Father has already seen it, Ning Zhuo is ambitious and wants to have great achievements, he must pay attention to his reputation."
"He will never do things like forgetting righteousness after becoming successful and being harsh to his relatives!"
This comfort seemed to open a new world for Ning Ji.
After trying in the black market, he really found that many people were wary of him being Ning Zhuo's relative, tolerating him, and even bending over to please him.
This allowed him to act like a tyrant, secretly accepting many people's filial piety, abusing his power, and opening back doors for others.
His 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, the former deacons were not without reports.
But regarding these reports, Ning Zhuo turned a deaf ear and made no move.
This attitude had already indicated everything. The shrewd former deacons also followed suit, pretending not to see many of Ning Ji's corrupt acts.
After Ning Zhuo explained many essentials of spell-casting to everyone, he commented on the mechanical creations they made, and if he encountered excellent ones, he would buy them with spirit stones.
It is worth mentioning that Ning Zhuo, with the help of these classmates and mechanical workshops like Chen Cha, has been acquiring mechanical 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 just a short time after that, the mechanical creations he prepared were close to thirty percent of the original!
When Ning Zhuo told his classmates that the next step was to explore the Lava Immortal Palace together, the classmates were all excited.
"Brother Zhuo, we have been waiting for this day!"
"Finally, we can explore the Immortal Palace with you again, Brother Zhuo."
"Exploring with Brother Zhuo is super happy!"
According to the mechanism of the Immortal Palace, each person can enter the Immortal Palace 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 explore once.
The main reason is that they can't gain anything in the action of exploring the Immortal Palace.
They have already received all the magic spell rewards they can bring out of the Immortal Palace. Everyone receives different magic spells, and after coming out, they communicate with each other, and soon, everyone masters all the magic 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 are in the puppet body, breaking through levels, using this way to exercise mechanical arts.
But this efficiency is far inferior to them making mechanical creations in the mechanical workshop in Fire Persimmon Immortal City.
And exploring the Immortal Palace consumes soul power.
For most people, without obvious progress in strength, repeated exploration is not very meaningful.
Not long after, everyone gathered in the Lava Immortal Palace.
Puppet Ning Zhuo took the lead, leading his classmates to break through levels one after another.
Seeing the various reward magic spells being picked up by Ning Zhuo, Ning Chen, Ning Yong, and others called it art.
By the time Ning Zhuo obtained dozens of Flying Swimming Hands, his magic spell offensive directly crossed a big step.
The Flying Swimming Hand mechanism and Ning Zhuo's puppet body cast spells together, just like dozens of cultivators attacking together. A large amount of magic spells erupted together, the offensive was vast, the brilliance of various magic spells intertwined, gorgeous and dangerous.
Looking at Ning Zhuo moving forward, waving his hands to bring wind, thunder, fire, and electricity, looking dashing and majestic, the classmates were all surging with emotion.
At sixteen or seventeen, they were at the age of worshiping heroes and longing to be in the limelight.
The style Ning Zhuo displayed made them yearn from the bottom of their hearts!
In the leisure time of breaking through levels, Ning Zhuo smiled and encouraged everyone: "You can also reach my level."
"But it requires diligent practice and a lot of time and effort."
"In order to master these magic spells well, I have also paid a lot in secret!"
Ning Zhuo, who had exchanged for a large amount of spell-casting experience through leaderboard rewards, said without blushing or heartbeat.
Looking at Ning Zhuo, who possessed talent, was diligent and hardworking, and was humble and approachable, everyone was convinced.
