Chapter 223: Ning Xiaohui goes all out to repair Yuan Dasheng (Seeking monthly votes)

"Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit..." Unlike Ning Zhuo called out repeatedly, but received no response.

"Did it just leave like that?" Unlike Ning Zhuo's tone was dejected.

He still had a whole pile of questions he hadn't had the chance to ask.

"Looking at it, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's condition is truly terrible."

Inside the small room, only the puppet Unlike Ning Zhuo remained.

This was the reward room Unlike Ning Zhuo had finally reached after breaking through the Buddhist path.

The information on the Foundation Establishment method had already been transmitted into his mind the moment he pushed open the door.

On the wall in front of Unlike Ning Zhuo hung many waist tokens.

This was the other part of the reward, which he had not yet claimed.

He gazed at these waist tokens, his eyes somewhat unfocused.

He was still preoccupied with his recent exchange with the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit.

This exchange had yielded him immense gains—Unlike Ning Zhuo had finally found the method to become the Master of the Lava Xian Gong.

That was to participate in the Palace Examination, take the top spot, and ultimately ascend the throne.

As for the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit's act of defecting to him in advance, Unlike Ning Zhuo could also understand it.

After all, the reason given by the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was indeed quite sufficient.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's other major gain was understanding the enemy situation.

Like the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, after gaining insight into the general situation of his opponents, Unlike Ning Zhuo also felt immense pressure.

His several main opponents were all true-transmission Jin Dan disciples from super sects.

Among them, Zhu Xuanji, coming from the Nandou royal family, was undoubtedly the most formidable competitor.

Although Meng Chong was only at the Qi Condensation stage, the Meng family behind him was likewise a massive power. Their influence within the Nandou Kingdom far exceeded that of super sects like the Kongkong Sect, the Shihun Sect, or the Taiqing Palace.

And Meng Chong's grandfather was Meng Kui. Meng Kui was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator and the current City Lord of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, possessing absolute home-field advantage.

"If I didn't have my Buddha Heart Demon Seal and hadn't mastered the divine ability 'Human Life Hanging by a Thread,' I wouldn't even have the qualifications to sit at the table."

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed bitterly in his heart.

The more he thought, the greater the pressure became.

Although Unlike Ning Zhuo had been mentally prepared for this, when he truly faced these pressures, he discovered that experiencing it firsthand was completely different from imagining it.

Those opponents competing with him for the Lava Xian Gong were as tall as mountain peaks.

In front of them, Unlike Ning Zhuo, merely at the Qi Condensation stage, was as insignificant as an ant.

How could he cross these mountains?

"My heart is a bit chaotic." Unlike Ning Zhuo closed his eyes.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, and the previously unfocused gaze had become firm once again.

The Lava Xian Gong was a heavy treasure left behind by a Void Refinement stage great power.

When Unlike Ning Zhuo decided to participate in this competition, it was destined: he would have to face such immense, despair-inducing pressure.

He could no longer turn back now.

All he could do now was summon all his courage and forge ahead despite the difficulties!

"I now have the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit as an inside agent and know much information about my opponents."

"Can I suppress and deal with these competitors just like I dealt with Meng Chong and the others before?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't help but think this.

Since entering the Xian Gong with his soul, he had relied on his superior methods, years of accumulation, and a huge first-mover advantage to firmly control the overall situation of the Lava Xian Gong route.

Although accidents occurred frequently, Unlike Ning Zhuo had exhausted his efforts, risked his life several times in battle, stabilized the situation, and finally reached this step.

His gains were extremely huge.

"In the current situation, Meng Chong can be set aside for now; Zhu Xuanji is the main threat."

"What exactly is the Mechanism Demon General? How was it lost in the first place?"

"If Zhu Xuanji retrieves it, will it allow him to obtain a second-rank position?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo felt doubts arise.

He lacked a comprehensive understanding of the positions and ranks of the Lava Xian Gong.

"Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit..." Unlike Ning Zhuo called out deeply once more.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit, inside the main hall, merely pretended not to hear.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit did not dare to continue communicating with Unlike Ning Zhuo.

It had observed him many times and was very clear: Unlike Ning Zhuo was absolutely not a normal sixteen-year-old youth!

He was extremely shrewd and possessed very deep hidden motives.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had witnessed the entire process of Unlike Ning Zhuo playing the four major powers of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng in the palm of his hand.

In its view: Unlike Ning Zhuo's opportunities and combat power were excellent, but the most excellent thing had always been his strategy and methods.

"He is just a little monster."

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had long since made up its mind to minimize the time and frequency of its interactions with Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Because the more it said, the greater its flaws would be.

Perhaps some unintentional word would allow Unlike Ning Zhuo to see through its disguise.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo called out for a while, he still saw no response from the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit.

Having received no new information, he sighed in disappointment.

Unlike Ning Zhuo really wanted to stop Zhu Xuanji, but what did he have to stop him with?

Zhu Xuanji himself was a Jin Dan stage cultivator and possessed strong investigative capabilities.

But he hadn't continued his investigation, instead placing his important time and energy into the Lava Xian Gong.

To Unlike Ning Zhuo, this was a good thing.

Now, was Unlike Ning Zhuo going to actively provoke such a figure?

Just thinking about it made Unlike Ning Zhuo feel a massive headache.

Facing Qi Condensation stage cultivators like Zheng Jian, Zhou Zeshen, and Meng Chong, he could rely on his own accumulation and methods to barely control the situation.

But once he faced a Jin Dan stage existence, he immediately felt his own insignificance.

"I am still too weak."

"Although I am at the peak of the ninth layer of Qi Condensation, this cultivation base still needs purification and refinement."

"In the end, I am only at the Qi Condensation stage. Even if I promote and reach the Foundation Establishment stage, there is still a very large gap to the Jin Dan stage."

"Fortunately, I have obtained the Foundation Establishment method. After I go back, I will study it diligently and strive to reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible to shorten the gap with my opponents."

Unlike Ning Zhuo had broken through the Buddhist barrier and obtained the Foundation Establishment method.

He had to start preparing for Foundation Establishment.

To start Foundation Establishment at the age of sixteen! Such an achievement was immense.

One must know, from the time he blew up the Xian Gong and changed his cultivation technique until now, not even a year had passed.

This speed of cultivation was simply godlike, as if a firecracker had been lit, shooting straight up into the sky from the ground.

Of course, relying solely on the rewards and resources within the Lava Xian Gong, Unlike Ning Zhuo absolutely could not have achieved this.

He had leveraged the other major cultivation families around the Lava Xian Gong.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had obtained massive resources from them, which was how he had walked step by step to today.

Now, he was not only at the peak of the ninth layer of Qi Condensation, but also had a whole pile of subordinates, controlled the black market, and had many sources of income.

His rise had been too fierce and too fast; he should have received others' attention and jealousy, and then suffered suppression.

But once the Talent Recruitment Order was issued, the Lava Xian Gong and the incoming cultivators became people's primary focus.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was ignored.

This also indirectly created a favorable environment for his rise.

With no results from deep thought, Unlike Ning Zhuo had to first select his clearance rewards.

Each identity waist token represented a certain position within the Lava Xian Gong.

Unlike Ning Zhuo casually picked up a waist token. The moment he held it, a stream of information was transmitted into his mind.

This was the token for the Master of the Discard Room.

In the Lava Xian Gong, there was a huge Discard Room, inside which were placed a large amount of waste and scrap.

These waste and scrap items often required specific methods to be properly handled and could not be casually discarded to the side.

At the same time, in the process of handling them, they could also be re-forged or recycled and reused.

The Discard Room managed these things.

Unlike Ning Zhuo naturally would not choose this position, so he put the waist token down.

He carefully selected for a while and ultimately chose the waist token for the highest-ranked position—the Medical Hall Master Token.

After he made his selection, the Medical Hall Master Token automatically recognized its master, instantly making him the Medical Hall Master of the Lava Xian Gong.

This was a second-rank position!

Unlike Ning Zhuo could now sense the building of the Medical Hall and could preside over its normal operations.

Besides the Hall Master, the Medical Hall also had positions like Medical Attendants, Medicine Boys, and so on.

For these people, Unlike Ning Zhuo, as the Medical Hall Master, possessed a certain power of appointment and removal.

In fact, his main purpose in painstakingly cultivating the Ning family cultivators, especially his classmates from the re-cultivation team, lay right here.

As long as these people reached a certain standard, Unlike Ning Zhuo could appoint them one by one as members of the Medical Hall.

Once Unlike Ning Zhuo was dissatisfied with them, he could remove their positions in a single thought.

Removing positions was much more convenient than appointing them.

The prerequisite for appointment was that the relevant cultivator must meet the standards of the Lava Xian Gong. But for removing positions, there were no such requirements.

"Hmm?"

As Unlike Ning Zhuo held the Medical Hall Master Token, he suddenly sensed that a new subordinate had been added under his command.

Unlike Ning Zhuo looked closely and discovered it was actually someone he was quite familiar with.

"Ning Xiaohui?"

"How did she become a Medical Attendant in the Medical Hall?"

"How long has she been on the new cultivation path, and she has already accumulated so much merit and contribution?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

"Even counting the strong support from the Ning family's main line, such speed is still quite rapid. This shows that Ning Xiaohui has had a very hard time during these days. She must have been frantically completing tasks to accumulate merit and contribution."

"What would happen if I directly removed her position now?"

This was just a single thought away for Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Inside the Lava Xian Gong.

Ning Xiaohui entered the Xian Gong and arrived in front of the Medical Hall.

At this moment, she clenched her fists, her face full of excitement and joy.

"Finally, I have finally been promoted to a Medical Attendant of the Medical Hall!"

"I have finally achieved my wish."

"For me, this will be a brand-new starting point."

"From now on, my efficiency in accumulating merit and contribution will far exceed others."

"Hahaha."

"Changing my path and coming here was too correct!"

"This is another world; relying on my identity as a trial disciple, I have far more advantages than those Jin Dan cultivators."

"My efforts during this period were not in vain; everything was worth it!"

Ning Xiaohui deeply felt that she had received obvious preferential treatment.

With this layer of identity as a trial disciple, she was treated completely as one of their own in the Lava Xian Gong.

While those people like Zhu Xuanji, even if they were Jin Dan stage, were just outsiders.

For example, the position of Medical Attendant in the Medical Hall was not something outsiders could choose.

At this time, Ning Xiaohui was inside the Medical Hall, and relying on her position as a Medical Attendant, she was assigned a mechanism workbench.

"Let me see what new tasks there are to let me obtain more contribution."

Ning Xiaohui looked closely, and the next moment, she widened her eyes, revealing a look of surprise.

"This is?!"

She saw a mechanism creation.

A mechanism creation that left a deep impression on her.

Golden Blood Battle Ape!

Golden Blood Battle Ape · Dasheng, which had blocked her many times and tortured her.

It had caused Ning Xiaohui to stop at the first three barriers many times, making her performance in exploring the Xian Gong extremely embarrassing, and she couldn't hold her head up in the entire re-cultivation team.

And now, this former nightmare, the culprit who tortured Ning Xiaohui, had become the subject of a repair task and was handed over to Ning Xiaohui.

Not long after, a teleportation light circle appeared in front of Ning Xiaohui, and after a burst of spitting, it delivered the Golden Blood Battle Ape to Ning Xiaohui.

She looked at the Golden Blood Battle Ape on the table, her expression extremely complex.

Immediately after, she revealed a fierce look.

Ning Xiaohui looked at the Golden Blood Battle Ape, but in her mind, she imagined Unlike Ning Zhuo, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Good, this is truly too good!"

"I will repair you with all my might and restore you to your best state."

"Then, I will let you become the biggest obstacle for that group of people, and inflict the pain given to me a thousand times over upon them."

The more Ning Xiaohui spoke, the more excited she became, her eyes shining.

From the Golden Blood Battle Ape, she saw the hope of revenge.

Ning Xiaohui focused all her attention and began to examine the condition of the Golden Blood Battle Ape.

The Golden Blood Battle Ape was mostly injured, and some places were quite serious.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had just used it not long ago to force his way through the final barrier of the Buddhist path. This had left it almost unrecognizable, with some wounds so huge that one could see the mechanism parts inside from the outside.

After observing for a moment, Ning Xiaohui frowned deeply.

"This Golden Blood Battle Ape is so severely damaged that its true strength is becoming harder and harder to exert."

"Unlike Ning Zhuo must have taken advantage of this; no wonder he was able to repel this mechanism creation."

Ning Xiaohui had not detected much about the mysteries of the Golden Blood Battle Ape's operation.

In fact, even Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't know much about his own mechanism creation.

"Although I don't understand its structure and don't have its mechanism blueprints, these don't hinder me from healing it and repairing it."

"My Heavenly Beauty Ice Fat Jade Hands are just that unreasonable, hahaha."

Ning Xiaohui took out a medicine bottle, pulled out the stopper, and poured a dozen pills into her mouth.

Then, she sat cross-legged, frantically refining the medicinal power on the spot, adjusting her own state to the best.

She pushed her Heavenly Beauty talent with all her might, freezing the Golden Blood Battle Ape in a huge block of ice.

As Ning Xiaohui tried her best and frantically urged her talent, blood was also slowly flowing from her seven orifices.

Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit: "..."

It slandered endlessly: "No, Ning Xiaohui, do you have to be this desperate?"

Although the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit could fully understand the reason for Ning Xiaohui's actions.

But as a bystander, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was also very clear: the Golden Blood Battle Ape was Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanism creation, his most important general for controlling the Lava Xian Gong assessment, bar none.

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit couldn't help but think: "If Ning Xiaohui finds out in the future that the Golden Blood Battle Ape she repaired with all her might and painstaking effort is the mechanism of the person she hates the most, what kind of reaction will she have?"

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit couldn't imagine such a scene and couldn't help but secretly look forward to it.

Just at this moment, its expression shifted.

With the help of the Lava Xian Gong, its gaze pierced through layers of space and locked onto Zhu Xuanji.

Ever since Zhu Xuanji obtained the Mechanism Demon General, he had been working on its repair.

Currently, the Mechanism Demon General's broken left arm had already been reattached.

For this, Zhu Xuanji repaired it day and night, busy until he was dizzy.

When the royal family's reply reached his hands, his expression was dazed for a moment before he reacted.

Back then, in order to retrieve the True Scripture, Zhu Xuanji had to investigate the small ape monkey from that time.

So, he specifically wrote a letter to the royal family seeking help—he needed a portrait of the small ape monkey after it grew up.

Now, the royal family's reply had come.

Zhu Xuanji unfolded it and looked; it was still the royal family's unique encrypted chaotic text.

This didn't matter.

In his mind, Zhu Xuanji quickly translated these encrypted chaotic texts.

Thus, the appearance of Yuan Dasheng as an adult and as an old man surfaced in his mind.

"Yuan Dasheng?!" Zhu Xuanji was stunned on the spot.

For a time, he stood where he was, still as a stone statue.

But in his mind, various thoughts were storming, stirring everything up!

The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit saw this scene, excitedly stood up, and supported itself with four claws.

Although it couldn't understand what the content of the royal family's reply letter was, just seeing Zhu Xuanji's dramatic change in expression allowed it to guess a thing or two.

"Find Unlike Ning Zhuo, find Unlike Ning Zhuo!"

"He is the real mastermind behind the scenes, the culprit."

"Catch him, quickly catch him."

"Hahaha."

Sensing that Zhu Xuanji was about to arrest Unlike Ning Zhuo, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was incredibly excited, its face full of surprise.

It was very urgent, wishing it could see this scene happen the next moment! ===== CHAPTER 224 =====
