Chapter 232

Ever since Yang Chanyu practiced dual cultivation with Ning Zhuo, she had been hiding in a corner of Fire Persimmon Immortal City, moving once every period of time.

Not only did she not leave, but she also entered the Magma Immortal Palace more frequently, frantically earning contributions, and was one of the strong competitors behind Zhu Xuanji.

When the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit introduced the enemy situation to Ning Zhuo, it also included Yang Chanyu.

Sun Lingtong's proactive appearance surprised Yang Chanyu.

"You actually came to find me yourself, hehe, there must be a place where you urgently need me to contribute."

Sun Lingtong smiled: "I came this time to find you for cooperation, to make a big fortune together; are you interested in doing a big job?"

Yang Chanyu was of course interested and immediately inquired.

Sun Lingtong, however, could not lay out the entire plan and only revealed a part of it.

This made Yang Chanyu feel very dissatisfied and also gave rise to vigilance.

"Sun Lingtong, what are you doing?"

"I want to know the full content of the plan, otherwise I will not easily participate."

"I am not someone who can be easily fooled."

"Without knowing the full plan, are you trying to use me as a gun?"

Sun Lingtong smiled, used his silver tongue, and tried hard to persuade her.

Yang Chanyu just sneered and was not moved at all.

Sun Lingtong was forced to take a step back: "Fine, we can sign a vow."

"Since you are worried, why don't we set an agreement?"

Yang Chanyu still shook her head.

"Our Bukong Gate is best at making fake vows or studying the loopholes in vows."

"You saying this to me shows even less sincerity."

"You want sincerity, right?" Sun Lingtong gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed.

"Then, I will promise you. After the matter in the Magma Immortal Palace is over, I will go back to the Bukong Gate with you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Chanyu's expression changed slightly.

Yang Chanyu looked at Sun Lingtong very seriously: "What kind of big event is it? What kind of benefit? That makes you make such a promise to me."

"Sun Lingtong, you should understand what these words mean?"

Sun Lingtong's small face was full of cold and serious expressions; he gritted his teeth, then relaxed, spread his hands, and smiled: "Going back to see your Master together means that I might very likely die!"

His eyes became even firmer: "But wealth is sought in danger; this time I am risking my life to gamble on a big one!"

"So, this time I'm betting."

"You wanted sincerity, right? This is my sincerity."

"You and I have a marriage contract."

"This promise of mine is linked to marriage; you should be at ease now, right?"

Yang Chanyu was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I am certainly at ease with this; alright, tell me what the specific action is?"

The puppet Ning Zhuo pushed open the third Demon Gate with both hands.

The level after the third Demon Gate is special.

Cultivators who pass the level operate the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art within it, and the level will reward the challenger with blood path plates of corresponding quality based on their performance.

Ning Zhuo has nine-layer peak demon cultivation, and although he is a puppet body, the previous levels allowed him to accumulate quite a bit of blood energy.

At this moment, he chose a blank, smooth blood path plate and injected all his blood energy directly into it.

Don't look at the blood path plate as just a small piece; its capacity for blood energy is extremely high.

Ning Zhuo's blood energy was all poured into the blood path plate, far from reaching the limit of the plate's capacity.

He operated it layer by layer according to the complete Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art.

Every time Ning Zhuo completed a layer, the operation route of the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art would be engraved on the blood path plate, displaying a layer of blood path patterns similar to array patterns.

When he pushed the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art to the eighth-layer stage, his blood energy was exhausted.

The surface of the blood path plate he obtained had dense blood path patterns. Layer after layer, like an array laid out using the method of overlapping arrays.

Ning Zhuo sighed secretly.

"My mastery of the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art still needs improvement. It is far from being as proficient as the Five Elements Mutual Generation and Restraint Technique, to the point of being an instinct of breathing! The blood path plate produced is far from reaching the standard of excellence!"

"On the other hand, the total amount of blood energy I possess is also a key factor."

Clearly, if there were more abundant blood energy, even if Ning Zhuo were not so proficient in the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art, he could eventually engrave the blood path plate to the ninth layer of the demon art.

"How can I get more blood energy?"

Ning Zhuo quickly reviewed the various levels and rooms before.

"Every demon art puppet possessing blood energy, the blood energy on them can be snatched by me and used for my own purposes."

"There were indeed some puppets before that I wasted."

"Besides that, in the maintenance room, you can also buy some blood energy with spirit stones."

This part of the blood energy, Ning Zhuo previously treated as material for making mechanical puppets.

Now, he discovered another use for blood energy.

"Finally, there are the rewards on the five stone pillar leaderboards."

Ning Zhuo remembered that in the leaderboards, one of the rewards for the Essence Refining list was blood energy. This is an option that the other few lists do not have.

Ning Zhuo was not satisfied with only obtaining this blood path plate with only eight layers of cultivation.

He looked at the portal in front, pondered for a moment, turned around directly, walked back, and pushed open the door he came from.

Cheating again.

He used the Buddha Heart Demon Seal to return to the third transit hall.

The current Ning Zhuo has mastered the complete "Human Life Hanging by a Thread" divine ability. When he echoes and pulls the power of the Buddha Heart Demon Seal, the loss of the magic treasure's power during the transmission process on "Human Life Hanging by a Thread" has already been reduced to one-tenth of what it was before.

Moreover, Ning Zhuo's cultivation has increased greatly, and all three cultivation techniques are at the nine-layer peak. This is much better than before!

These all allowed him to open these doors very easily in the latter part of the Magma Immortal Palace trial levels, moving freely.

Ning Zhuo returned all the way to the maintenance room and received a large amount of blood energy rewards from the leaderboard.

Currently, the modification teams of the four major forces in Volcano Immortal City are all burying their heads in practicing the four-to-six-layer Five Elements Qi Law, and almost no one is exploring the Immortal Palace.

However, in the trial levels in the Immortal Palace, there are still many wooden puppets active.

As of now, a large number of ordinary cultivators have obtained the qualification to send their souls into the Immortal Palace because they have practiced the Five Elements Qi Law to the three-layer peak.

If these people were to discover that Ning Zhuo was retreating from the levels freely, this would definitely be inappropriate.

So before retreating from the levels, Ning Zhuo always let the Gold Blood Battle Ape, Da Sheng, walk at the very front.

The Gold Blood Battle Ape, Da Sheng, killed powerfully all the way, scattering any mechanical puppets it saw, clearing the field for Ning Zhuo to ensure Ning Zhuo would not be discovered by others.

Why did this mechanical ape cause such a riot?

This is completely inconsistent with the rules summarized by the four major forces' modification teams from their difficult explorations before.

Regarding this point, Ning Zhuo could no longer care and could only leave it to these people to guess for themselves.

The situation is extremely tense and does not allow him to take care of these minor details.

After Ning Zhuo re-obtained a large amount of blood energy rewards from the leaderboard, he stayed in the maintenance room for a while according to the blood path plate, and slightly modified his own body and that of the Gold Blood Battle Ape, Da Sheng.

Soon, he led the Gold Blood Battle Ape, Da Sheng, back to the special level of the Demon Gate.

Just as Ning Zhuo was about to use this more abundant blood energy to make the blood path plate, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Da Sheng, come here." He called out.

"The subordinate obeys." Yuan Da Sheng walked over.

He obtained this abundant blood energy, replaced Ning Zhuo in operating the demon art, and applied it to the blank blood path plate.

In an instant, almost all the blood energy in Yuan Da Sheng's body was poured into the plate.

This is very different from the situation where Ning Zhuo poured in blood energy before.

"So, once you master the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art to a certain stage, you can pour out all your cultivation in an instant!" Ning Zhuo's eyes lit up as he watched and learned.

Clearly, Yuan Da Sheng's attainments in this cultivation technique are far deeper than his.

Therefore, the production speed of the blood path plate was more than ten times faster than Ning Zhuo's.

Layer one, layer two, layer three...

These blood path maps of the cultivation techniques appeared rapidly, overlapping layer by layer, covering the blood path plate.

In just about twenty breaths of time, the blood path plate had already been made to the sixth layer of the demon art.

When starting from the seventh layer, the production speed slowed down significantly.

The Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art begins to pursue the vigor of blood energy accumulation from the seventh to the ninth layers.

However, Yuan Da Sheng's speed in refining the blood path plate at this time was still much faster than when Ning Zhuo made the first six layers.

Seventh layer, eighth layer, ninth layer!

After Yuan Da Sheng finished making the ninth layer, there was still a large amount of blood energy surplus on the blood path plate.

Yuan Da Sheng had no intention of stopping at all and continued to make it.

Soon, the blood path plate was actually engraved with blood path lines corresponding to the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation technique.

Early Foundation Establishment, mid Foundation Establishment, all the way to late Foundation Establishment!

At this time, the blood energy was finally exhausted, and Yuan Da Sheng finally had to stop operating the cultivation technique.

Ning Zhuo was pleasantly surprised and immediately took this blood path plate into his hand to check it carefully.

He had only obtained the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art, but only the content of the Qi Refining stage. He knew nothing about the details of the cultivation technique for the Foundation Establishment stage.

But now, Yuan Da Sheng had made this thing.

From this point, it also verified what the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit said before.

That copy of the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art True Scripture had already merged with Yuan Da Sheng and turned into some kind of instinct of his!

"Yuan Da Sheng, can you write down all the content of the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art?" Ning Zhuo put forward his own request.

Yuan Da Sheng was stunned for a moment, knelt down on one knee, and bowed: "Master, the subordinate is incompetent and cannot complete your order."

Ning Zhuo inquired carefully and found that Yuan Da Sheng only used the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art he mastered, without understanding it.

He was refined by the Magma Immortal Palace, leaving no memory behind, only purifying the spirituality.

The entire content of the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art True Scripture had turned more into an instinct of his. If he were really asked to delve into it, he would be unable to express this instinct completely in the form of words.

"Even so, I still have the possibility of using this special level to let Yuan Da Sheng complete the recording of the complete Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art!"

Ning Zhuo immediately thought that he could find another way from the blood path plate.

"But in this way, too much blood energy is needed."

Ning Zhuo calculated the total amount of blood energy he could collect in the entire level.

He added the blood energy he consumed in making the blood path plate twice before, and then compared the two results.

He regretfully discovered that the total amount of blood energy he could obtain could not reach the level of a Jin Dan-level cultivation technique.

"Forget it."

"When I capture the Magma Immortal Palace in the future, won't I be able to see the full content of these three supreme arts?"

"For now, let's pass the Demon Gate path first!"

This matter is very important to him.

In his plan, it concerns whether this crisis can be overcome.

"Install the blood path plate first."

The puppet Ning Zhuo sat on the ground, lowered his head, opened the small door on his chest, and revealed the mechanical structure inside his body.

In order to install the blood path plate, he had already modified himself in the maintenance room.

He held the blood path plate in one hand and inserted it into the middle section of his spine.

There, he had a slot he specially modified.

With a click, he successfully installed the blood path plate into the slot just like that.

The two ends of the slot base flipped inward, firmly fixing the plate.

Ning Zhuo had no blood energy and could not yet put it into the blood path plate to activate it and verify whether the installation was successful.

Ning Zhuo secretly guessed: "The next level must reward blood energy! Otherwise, the blood path plate would be of no use."

"The Three Sects' Supreme Masters set up this special level, there must be a purpose, and they wouldn't do useless work."

Ning Zhuo flicked the blood path plate slightly, confirming that the connection between the blood path plate and the slot was quite firm and would not fall off due to strenuous exercise.

Ning Zhuo then closed the small door on his chest again, and finally, patted it with his palm to confirm that the door was tightly closed and completely locked.

He followed the same method, opened the chest of the Gold Blood Battle Ape, Da Sheng, and installed the other blood path plate.

The mechanical structure of the Gold Blood Battle Ape is very tight.

The slot Ning Zhuo temporarily added could not be placed at the height of the heart. Ning Zhuo could only compromise and arrange it at the position of the abdomen—there were still some small gaps there.

Because the space was limited, the slot mechanical accessories he made for Yuan Da Sheng were much simpler than his own.

Installing the blood path plate for Yuan Da Sheng required more attention.

Ning Zhuo gently held the sides of the blood path plate with both hands, and after aligning it with the slot in the middle, he used force with both hands at the same time to gently insert the blood path plate.

The fixing method of the slot here for Yuan Da Sheng is also different from Ning Zhuo's. Ning Zhuo must manually buckle the locks on both sides.

After finishing this step, he followed the pipelines at the end of the slot all the way up and checked the heart components of Yuan Da Sheng.

Confirming that there were no problems with the two pipelines and no problems with the connection between them, Ning Zhuo then closed Yuan Da Sheng's chest again.
