It is not easy to reach the top level you speak of; it has rarely appeared in the history of the academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Jiu-fan glared at Ning Zhuo and said sternly: \"The foundation of our Ning family lies in talisman-making; no matter how profound your mechanical arts are, you cannot let your talisman-making skills fall behind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Firstly, this is our Ning family’s specialty; secondly, mechanical creation covers the hundred arts of cultivation, and talisman-making is one of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo immediately bowed: \"Ancestor, your teaching is correct; I will definitely keep it firmly in mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Jiu-fan said again: \"You must read the talisman-making insights I gave you carefully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo hurriedly indicated that he would read them whenever he had time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Jiu-fan glared at him; this junior, Ning Zhuo, was truly slick, and his attitude toward him was very different from ordinary people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the dignified head of the Ning family would be respectful when standing before Ning Jiu-fan. Ning Zhuo did not have this attitude and was very undisciplined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ning Jiu-fan did not reprimand him too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because very few people could treat him with such an attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Jiu-fan also knew a lot about Ning Zhuo’s growth experience. He knew in his heart: to a certain extent, Ning Zhuo had not been valued by the family since he was a child and belonged to the wild child who was left to fend for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was understandable that the wild child Ning Zhuo had such an attitude toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Ning Jiu-fan knew Ning Zhuo’s innate talent and his talent for mechanical arts. For this rising star among the juniors, he also cherished him in his bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Ning Jiu-fan not only tolerated Ning Zhuo’s undisciplined attitude in front of him but also felt that Ning Zhuo was quite straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Jiu-fan let Ning Zhuo tidy up the desk and deliberately tested him, asking: \"This time, City Lord Meng Kui and Divine Catcher Zhu have jointly set a contract, agreeing that no matter what position we obtain in the Lava Immortal Palace, it will be retained afterward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the future, no matter who acts as the Palace Master, they will not arbitrarily revoke the positions of others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding this point, how do you view it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think our Ning family should do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo immediately raised his head and looked at Ning Jiu-fan beside him, saying without hesitation: \"This is a huge good thing for our Ning family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I were the head of the Ning family, the moment I heard this news, I would gather the whole clan, mobilize them, and go all out to strive for more positions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Jiu-fan was expressionless and continued to ask: \"Why should we do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo continued: \"It’s very simple; the more positions our Ning family masters, the higher our degree of control over the entire Lava Immortal Palace will be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter who becomes the Palace Master, the future Lava Immortal Palace will still be the core place of Fire Persimmon Mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The main function of the Lava Immortal Palace is to suppress Fire Persimmon Mountain, prevent it from erupting, constantly absorb the earth flames in Fire Persimmon Mountain, and eliminate the flourishing red-flame demon beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And these earth flames, red-flame demon beasts, and other underground resources are extremely large in scale and are huge natural treasures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The more positions our Ning family masters, the more cultivation resources we can obtain from the Lava Immortal Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact, it’s not just this kind of tangible resource, but also merit. The Lava Immortal Palace suppresses Fire Persimmon Mountain, which is beneficial to Fire Persimmon Immortal City and meritorious to the Southern Bean Kingdom; these merits should also be intangible resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Ning family’s situation is actually a bit awkward. We wandered here from the North Wind Kingdom, and although we have taken root in Fire Persimmon Immortal City for more than ten years, in terms of overall strength and status, we belong to the bottom of the four forces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This opportunity right now is very rare, and it is very likely that we may not encounter it again for decades.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If our Ning family can seize this opportunity, we will inevitably be able to change the entire situation through the Lava Immortal Palace, improve our Ning family’s overall strength, foundation, and status in the Southern Bean Kingdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Jiu-fan stroked his beard: \"If, according to what you said, this is a huge good thing, then do you want to mobilize the whole family to change their cultivation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo immediately shook his head: \"Of course not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Ning family’s talent lies in practicing frost-type cultivation methods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This advantage cannot be lost, and it cannot be changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my opinion, we should let the majority of ordinary cultivators who do not have this kind of frost talent change to practice the Five Elements Qi Law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this way, through the scale of numbers, we can rush ahead of the Zhou family, the Zheng family, and the City Lord’s Mansion to strive for positions in the Immortal Palace!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the Ning family geniuses who appear later, let them continue to practice their original cultivation methods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Jiu-fan was noncommittal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, however, he was quite satisfied with Ning Zhuo’s answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it again, Ning Zhuo is only sixteen years old, which makes this Ning family Jin Dan ancestor look forward to Ning Zhuo’s future even more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Ning Zhuo and said: \"Wait for me to send a letter to ask the current clan head; do you think his thoughts will be consistent with yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo immediately shouted: \"Ancestor, are you still expecting the main line of the Ning family! There is no need to think about his answer; it must be the main line first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to me, if we really want the Ning family to develop better, we have to find another way and set up another mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These people in the main line have now become the stumbling block for our Ning family to take big steps forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I can split the family and become the head of the branch family, I will definitely be able to lead the entire Ning family to climb to a new peak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, these words brought another rap from Ning Jiu-fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Always splitting the family, splitting the family; can’t you live without splitting the family? Don't mention this again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning family clan grounds, in the Ning family meeting hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of the Ning family sat in the main seat, and the elders of the Ning family sat on the left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of the Ning family handed Ning Jiu-fan’s letter to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elders finished reading it quickly, all falling into silence, not saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the entire meeting hall was quite dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of the Ning family sighed deeply and said: \"Let’s all talk about your views.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder of the War Hall took the lead: \"The situation is quite bad right now! If we let the reform team strive for positions in the Lava Immortal Palace, our clan’s branch will inevitably receive huge support, which will be very difficult to curb.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the future, it will be hard to say who is the branch and who is the main line in our Ning family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder of the Academy echoed: \"We rely on controlling cultivation methods to control the whole clan. But if the cultivators all change to practice the Five Elements Qi Law, then restraining and controlling them through cultivation methods will be nonsense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words fell, the elder of the Talisman Hall sneered a few times: \"You old things, why can’t you see the situation clearly yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On the surface, this is the ancestor asking us. But in reality, this is just a letter of persuasion with mild and euphemistic wording; can we still refuse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a political strategy was discussed and decided by Zhu Xuanji and Meng Kui. It is very clear that they want to actively promote our four forces to go all out to compete for positions in the Lava Immortal Palace, and for this, they have not hesitated to concede future interests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our clan only has to go all out; there is no second option!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Zhou family and the Zheng family will also do the same. Because whoever masters more positions in the Lava Immortal Palace will have more power on Fire Persimmon Mountain in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a naked, open conspiracy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have no way to stop it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder of the Academy shouted: \"But our Ning family cultivators’ talent lies in frost-type cultivation methods; this is determined by our roots and bones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, you want most of our clan to change to practice the Five Elements Qi Law and crazily strive for positions in the Lava Immortal Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't this putting the cart before the horse and wasting talent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder of the Talisman Hall sneered repeatedly: \"Our clan’s talent indeed lies in the practice of frost-type cultivation methods, but there is no obstacle to practicing the Five Elements Qi Law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, the vast majority of clan members do not have innate talents like the Ice-Fat Jade Hand; the difference between practicing frost-type cultivation methods or practicing the Five Elements Qi Law is not very big.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The problem now is not that we have a choice, but that we can only accept it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just that if things develop according to this trend, it will be hard to say who is the master and who is the secondary in our Ning family in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as these words came out, the head of the Ning family and the elders all fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation for the Ning family main line is quite severe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo previously pulled Ning Xiaoren off his horse and took the opportunity to unite a group of former stewards, taking control of the black market overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This heavy punch hit the Ning family main line so hard that they are still dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Ning Zhuo has already caused the split of the Ning family, and a part of the branch personnel have set up another mountain in the black market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ning family main line did not find a way to counter it and had hoped for the City Lord’s Mansion and other parties, but Ning Zhuo’s subsequent handling was excellent, and even Fei Si praised him for being sensible and more on the ball than Sun Lingtong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ning family main line can only hope for the future. After all, it has long been a consensus among the high-level that the black market cannot be controlled by one of the three families. It’s just that the current situation is special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the Ning family main line waited for this political strategy first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This will greatly promote the development of this mountain headed by Ning Zhuo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, the foundation of Ning Zhuo and his group was the black market, earning money from the black market to use for cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, because the positions will be retained, the Lava Immortal Palace is very likely to become another source of wealth for Ning Zhuo and his group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time, the political strategy of retaining the Lava Immortal Palace positions has been confirmed by the highest level and is no longer a foundation that cannot be sustained like the black market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-level of the Ning family have already foreseen this terrible future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what makes them extremely discouraged is that they simply cannot stop it! \u003C\u002Fp>",2096,"2026-06-17T23:33:12.660Z","2026-06-18T03:10:38.119Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","de3e6cf46bff01efc940021d810295356bb69dcbc63d65ecd080c2b280bf344a","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-284","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-282",783,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-craftsmanship-cover.jpg"]
