Chapter 217: Catching Up to Meng Chong

"If you want to practice privately, why not contact each other and arrange to practice against each other; the results will be higher."

Ning Zhuo thought for a moment: "How about this, I will rent a martial arts arena in the clan grounds for a long term, specifically for you to use."

"You go there, show your waist pendant, report your name, and you can use it for free."

As soon as these words came out, everyone cheered.

Ning Zhuo gave convenience and demonstrated the gorgeousness of various spells in public, just to attract his classmates to practice actively.

This is quite beneficial to them.

Because after the second Dao Gate, one has to rely on the Five Elements Mutual Generation and Mutual Restraint Technique to choose the Five Elements Turning Spirit Disk.

Young cultivators who are proficient in the previous five-element spells will also have considerable help when they reach this step.

Those who lay a good foundation in advance will find it easier to get started with the Five Elements Mutual Generation and Mutual Restraint Technique, and by following the trend, they will be able to receive higher-quality Five Elements Turning Spirit Disks.

Advantages are accumulated step by step like this.

"The basic plate of my power is the branch clansmen of the Ning family. And the core of the power is not those former deacons at the Foundation Establishment level, let alone former elders like Ning Youfu and Ning Houjun, but this group of people in front of me."

Others' cultivation may be strong, but they have already taken shape.

Ning Zhuo knows very clearly that the Five Elements Qi Law Art is the future!

He has already obtained the ninth layer of the Five Elements Qi Law Art; although he doesn't know much about the Ice Heart Art, from the perspective of external effects, the comprehensive value of the Five Elements Qi Law Art exceeds the Ice Heart Art by a large margin.

The Ice Heart Art is only superior to the Five Elements Qi Law Art in ice-attribute spells and state of mind.

And the Five Elements Qi Law Art is just one of the Three Sects' Supreme Arts.

This group of people has a future, this group of people worships Ning Zhuo, this group of people grows and learns with Ning Zhuo, and has the friendship of the past. This group of people is still young, has drive, and has ideals, unlike older people who have experienced too much and are difficult to motivate.

Just like now, Ning Zhuo only displayed the gorgeous offensive of five-element spells, and this group of people was already fascinated.

Ning Zhuo only rented a martial arts arena and let them use it for free, and they were already grateful.

The more wonderful place is that Ning Zhuo controls the other two arts, so he can firmly control the cultivation of this group of people.

For those Ning Zhuo finds pleasing to the eye, whose talent is sufficient, and whose loyalty and talent have been verified, Ning Zhuo will secretly grant them the other two arts.

Even if it is only the first three layers and not granted in full, it is of great help for their Foundation Establishment.

With the help of this layer of arts, Ning Zhuo can control them. As long as the Lava Xian Gong aspect is not leaked.

Ning Zhuo continued to move forward.

Various spells were picked up by him. He used to hide his clumsiness, but now he finally displayed a part of it.

His classmates exclaimed one after another.

"I feel like I don't need to come at all!"

"Brother Zhuo is too strong; he doesn't need us at all."

"This is the easiest time I've ever explored the Xian Gong."

"No, we are still useful. At least the spirit stone rewards we received were all handed over to Brother Zhuo."

"Brother Zhuo, when are we merging? I still want to try!"

When everyone had nothing to do, they couldn't help but miss the past, when they assembled their puppet bodies together to pass levels.

In that situation, they at least had some sense of participation. But now, they have all been reduced to spectators behind Ning Zhuo, only needing to be responsible for encouraging and praising.

Many people felt empty and ashamed for not making contributions.

Eighth level, ninth level...

Transit station, first Dao Gate...

Dao Gate third level, Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng blocks the way.

Ning Zhuo led everyone to fight Yuan Dasheng.

The battle was once very intense.

From the start of the battle, Ning Zhuo's side was at a disadvantage.

Yuan Dasheng charged and rammed, displaying an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Ning Zhuo contributed the most firepower, while his classmates went one after another, regardless of their own safety, to entangle Yuan Dasheng.

"Quick, entangle this mechanism ape!"

"Even if we sacrifice, as long as we entangle it for one or two breaths, we can let Brother Zhuo's spell attack the ape."

"The mechanism ape is too slippery and fast. But if we don't care about sacrifice and entangle it, there is hope for victory!"

His classmates laughed and sacrificed themselves generously.

Ning Zhuo's spells hit Yuan Dasheng, but also harmed the innocent, killing all his classmates.

His classmates laughed loudly before "dying," feeling happy to be able to provide some help to Ning Zhuo.

Although this is not a real death, this kind of active contribution, this kind of centripetal force surrounding Ning Zhuo, has already begun to appear.

In the end, only two or three remained, and after Ning Zhuo's spirit stone reserves were almost exhausted, Yuan Dasheng suddenly stopped.

It let out a low roar, and under the surprised gaze of the Ning clansmen, it slowly retreated, pushed the door, and left, heading to the previous level.

"This mechanism ape actually retreated on its own?"

Everyone felt as if they were in a dream.

"Brother Zhuo, keep it!" Someone shouted.

Ning Zhuo shook his head: "I am already at the end of my strength, do not chase the desperate enemy."

After Yuan Dasheng pushed the door and left, completely gone, the remaining Ning family youths finally realized.

"We won?!"

"Victory, we forced back that mechanism ape!!"

"Heavens, we succeeded."

Ning Zhuo shook his head: "My spirit stones are almost exhausted; this victory was very lucky."

Others didn't think so at all.

They looked at Ning Zhuo excitedly, praising him with admiring gazes.

"Brother Zhuo, Boss, we did it!"

"The three-family alliance couldn't force back this mechanism ape, but we forced it back!!"

"In fact, last time we almost succeeded. It was just because Ning Xiaohui stopped me..." Ning Zhuo shook his head, fully grasping the opportunity to deepen the conflict between the main and branch branches.

"That time was indeed a pity!"

"But I think I want this kind of success more."

"Yes, yes, hahaha, I can't wait to go out and show off. We defeated the mechanism ape!"

Ning Zhuo shook his head again: "We didn't completely defeat it; it retreated on its own."

"I think this should be the arrangement of the Xian Gong."

"As long as our strength is limited to a certain range, and we cause a certain standard of damage to the mechanism ape, it will retreat on its own."

"Let's continue forward."

Ning Zhuo's unarrogant and unimpulsive performance made everyone suppress their inner excitement and follow Ning Zhuo to continue walking.

Ning Zhuo, who forced back the mechanism ape, didn't even show a smile. Such general-like demeanor made the remaining crowd admire him secretly.

Little did they know, Ning Zhuo was calculating the maintenance cost of the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng.

Ning Zhuo hadn't figured out this mechanism body yet.

Repairing the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng must use the materials and tools provided in the trial level.

Ning Zhuo was worried that using materials from the outside world too much might be regarded as foreign objects by the Lava Xian Gong and no longer accepted into the palace.

In short, repairing the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng at the moment was definitely a troublesome matter.

With the Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng gone, the next step was smooth sailing.

Not long after, Ning Zhuo led the remaining crowd to the second transit hall, the place where Meng Chong arrived.

They only saw a door.

He touched the second Dao Gate and exclaimed: "It's the subsequent cultivation art!"

Thus, others stepped forward one after another to touch the door.

After obtaining the cultivation art, everyone compared them and found they were the same.

"We did it!"

"We got the subsequent cultivation art!"

"In this way, Meng Chong only arrived here as well. The City Lord's Mansion's modification team also practiced the subsequent cultivation art not long ago."

Everyone was extremely excited.

On one hand, they had been stuck at the third layer of Qi Refining for many days and finally had the subsequent cultivation art, and their excitement was beyond words.

On the other hand, they finally saw the backs of the leaders and were surprised to find that Meng Chong and the others hadn't led them by much!

For a time, morale was stimulated like this.

"Without the cultivation of the peak of the sixth layer, we can't push open this door."

"No wonder the City Lord's Mansion's modification team is burying their heads in bitter cultivation!"

"Go back quickly, seize the time, I want to practice wildly!!"

"Everyone." Ning Zhuo suddenly said, "Please keep the subsequent cultivation art strictly confidential; I will handle the negotiations with the outside world, how about that?"

The remaining crowd had no objections.

They indicated: This exploration was a great success, all thanks to Ning Zhuo; they only played the role of cannon fodder in the final fierce battle.

Everything was left for Ning Zhuo to handle.

When Ning Zhuo and the others brought the subsequent cultivation art back to the clan grounds with their souls returned to their bodies, the entire Ning family high command was shaken!

"Is it really so?!"

"This junior Ning Zhuo... indeed has a hand."

The patriarch, the main branch, and all the family elders didn't expect such a situation to happen.

Ning Zhuo was a family talent who emerged later; his talent hadn't been tested yet, but he had performed excellently in exploring the Lava Xian Gong time and again.

Taking out this battle record completely consolidated Ning Zhuo's status.

Even the Ning family main branch had to admit that Ning Zhuo was indeed the pillar of the modification team! The true core figure!

The Ning family main branch and the patriarch's mood were quite complex.

In the past, they would have long since started suppressing the branch geniuses until the geniuses yielded.

But now, Ning Zhuo relied on the Lava Xian Gong, forcing them to tolerate and appease Ning Zhuo.

They had previously underestimated Ning Zhuo too much and made a bad move, causing the young patriarch to fall from grace and become a prisoner.

Now, the Ning family ancestor Ning Jiufan had already spoken and publicly recognized Ning Zhuo.

Plus, Ning Zhuo also controlled the black market and had many Foundation Establishment elites under his command.

"The power is too great to control. Ning Zhuo must have an expert pointing him in the right direction!"

"Those two old guys in the branch must play some important role..."

The Ning family patriarch and main branch were anxious and uneasy because of this.

But they could only be like this.

Ning Zhuo took the initiative to visit the Ning family patriarch and, according to the previous agreement, handed over the subsequent cultivation art.

◆￠o

He made a request: "Next, I want to practice with all my might. I heard that there is a Flowing Clouds and Flowing Water Talisman in the clan that comes with spirituality, which can help cultivators practice together, with excellent results."

"According to the agreement, please bestow this talisman upon me, Patriarch."

The Ning family patriarch nodded slightly: "Can."

"The Flowing Clouds and Flowing Water Talisman is with Ning Xiaohui; I will send someone to take it back today, and you come over tomorrow, and I will hand it to you."

Ning Zhuo said again: "My cultivation speed is already fast, and with the blessing of this talisman, it is like adding wings to a tiger."

"But rapid cultivation also has drawbacks."

"May I ask Patriarch, what means does the clan have to purify magic power?"

The Ning family patriarch felt there was no need to hide it and said directly: "There is a talisman, named Mysterious Ice Pure Snow Talisman."

"This talisman is similar to the Flowing Clouds and Flowing Water Talisman, both of which take some natural spirituality. After casting it, the cultivator will be frozen; no matter which dantian is the main one, the impurities will be frozen and annihilated."

Among the hundred arts of cultivation, mechanism arts belong to the side door and the bottom.

Mechanism arts can utilize spirituality, and of course, there will be no shortage of spirituality involved in other hundred arts of cultivation.

The Ning family patriarch warned that these two talismans were quite precious and that their usage frequency must be strictly limited to prevent the spirituality within the talismans from being exhausted.

Ning Zhuo thought of the Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Dissolving Scripture.

"Can I use this scripture to increase the spirituality for these two talismans?" ===== CHAPTER 218 =====
