Chapter 286: This Medical Hall, My Zheng Family Wants It

This talisman was oval-shaped, with a dark cyan background, as if it were soaked in a faint oily sheen.

In the center of the talisman was a smooth silver rune; the rune fluctuated like water waves, rising and falling, showing soft and flexible power.

The edges of the rune extended a line to the four corners: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, and bottom-right.

The lines extended to the ends and curled into a ball, depicting a structure similar to the central rune, only much smaller than the big ball in the center.

The structure of one big and four small talismans was very clear.

Ning Jiu-fan handed this talisman to him and introduced it: "This is the Oily-Smooth Water-Slick Talisman; it possesses spirituality and also seals many of my Jin Dan magic powers."

"As long as you are attacked, its spirituality will be triggered, letting you be shrouded in an oily water-like light shield."

"Most attacks, as long as they do not exceed the Jin Dan level, can almost all be blocked, unloaded, and deflected by the oily light shield."

Ning Zhuo was overjoyed and said: "Good talisman, good talisman!"

Ning Jiu-fan: "Hmph, you little ghost, you are really greedy. However, if you want this talisman, it is not impossible. You should know how to act next, right?"

Ning Zhuo bowed again: "Ancestor, how could I be a coward who fears death?"

"I just want to keep my useful body to repay your cultivation, Ancestor, and make contributions to my Ning family."

"Ancestor, I will definitely go all out to strive for more key positions for our Ning family."

"It's just, is this talisman definitely able to protect my life? Ancestor, for the sake of safety, give me more talismans like this."

Ning Jiu-fan bent his fingers and rapped Ning Zhuo on his big head, reprimanding: "Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant! Don't go too far. This talisman containing spirituality is a treasure at the level of the town clan and can be used repeatedly many times."

"Unless the Non-Empty Sect has a Nascent Soul level expert sneaking in, otherwise, this talisman will definitely keep you safe. Even if you face Yang Chanyu, it is enough to hold on until I come to save you."

"Get out, get out and do things!"

Ning Jiu-fan waved his sleeves; losing the spirit talisman and seeing Ning Zhuo's greedy face made him annoyed.

Ning Zhuo left the residence and first went to find many members of the Ning family reform team.

They were very excited to see Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo told them: he was weak at the beginning and was secretly controlled by the Non-Empty Sect, but now he has seen the light, and he is relaxed.

And in the last two days, he has been by Ning Jiu-fan's side, receiving the teaching and cultivation of the Jin Dan ancestor; his strength has not risen greatly, but his vision has broadened a lot.

The Ning family reform team was greatly boosted in morale.

They complained to Ning Zhuo, saying that the reform team members of the Zhou and Zheng families had changed their usual attitudes; they were friendly and kind when Ning Zhuo taught them experience before, but now, in order to compete for key positions, they had almost turned their faces.

Especially the Zheng family, whose family style was rough and straightforward, now, because Zheng Jian was the second to obtain the position of medical scholar, they were all proud and began to look at people with their nostrils.

Ning Zhuo obtained a lot of intelligence, achieved his goal, said goodbye to everyone, and headed to the medical hall.

While walking, he was deep in thought, analyzing the current situation.

The new political strategy made the three families have rapid and drastic adjustments.

Originally, the three families were closely gathered together, forming a solid alliance. But now, they have begun to compete with each other because of positions.

"Such competition will inevitably become more and more intense."

"Competition between the Righteous Path, although not to the point of killing, will also have various underhanded tricks and means when it reaches a certain level."

"Although the three families signed an alliance, they should not have been able to anticipate this situation at the time. Therefore, the content of the alliance will have very little restraint on the current situation."

Analyzing to this point, Ning Zhuo couldn't help but look at the sky, feeling emotional: "Meng Kui is worthy of being a wise general of the Meng family; a small political strategy has caused the alliance of the three families to split."

"This is not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy!"

"The three families and Zhu Xuanji all know Meng Kui's scheme, but they just can't resist it and can only follow his will."

"As for the Zheng family..."

Ning Zhuo understood very well the Zheng family's plan to plot for the medical hall.

The medical hall is indeed one of the most valuable mechanical buildings, and the many positions it is equipped with are very important. Whether in peace or wartime, it has its uses.

Ning Zhuo frowned secretly.

The current situation is a bit troublesome for him.

Among the medical hall, the point-general platform, and the cannon tower, the medical hall is the most important. Because the severe illness treatment room in the medical hall can temporarily isolate the detection of Jin Dan cultivators on Ning Zhuo.

And this function is not available in the point-general platform or the Five Elements Cannon Tower.

"It is okay for outsiders like Zheng Jian to be mixed in the medical hall. It's just that coming in and out, with many people and mixed eyes, is not as convenient as before."

"But I am the curator, the supreme position in the medical hall, and the power is great. I can completely designate the severe illness treatment room as my exclusive territory."

"The Zheng family's heavy investment is also beneficial to me. What I'm afraid of is..."

Ning Zhuo entered the medical hall.

Zheng Jian was burying his head in dealing with the mechanical puppet on the case table; hearing the movement, he quickly looked up at Ning Zhuo, revealing a look of surprise.

"Brother Ning Zhuo, you're here!" Zheng Jian smiled, then lowered his head again, "I have work now and can't let go; let's catch up later."

Ning Zhuo nodded: "Haha, Brother Zheng, let's not rush to catch up. I haven't claimed any tasks for two days."

After a simple greeting, Ning Zhuo came to a corner of the main hall, chose a case table behind Zheng Jian, and began to repair.

He completed three mechanical creation repair tasks in a row, secretly used his curator position to arrange a big job for Zheng Jian, then finished pretending, and walked up the stairs quietly.

He entered the severe illness treatment room all the way and closed the door tightly.

Zheng Jian was sweating profusely, concentrating, and didn't notice Ning Zhuo's small actions.

Ning Zhuo first checked the supplies.

Before, Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu had stolen treasures from the cloud merchants, and a portion was given to Ning Zhuo.

After Ning Zhuo checked, he only found one drop less of 'Goodness is like water'.

There was an extra spirit box.

The spirit box can carry spirituality for a period of time.

Ning Zhuo had long wanted to come to the medical hall to open the spirit box. But in order to hide it perfectly, he endured for two days until even Ning Jiu-fan couldn't stand it, and then he set out.

Stored in the spirit box was Ning Xiaohui's spirituality!

Ning Zhuo's heart moved slightly, but he first took out a talisman.

This talisman was long and narrow, light blue in color, as if it were a sapphire washed clean by water.

The surface of the talisman was smooth, exuding soft water light, and felt cool to the touch.

The runes were elegant, like clouds and water; staring at them for a few breaths, one could see the runes slowly flowing on the talisman paper like flowing water.

It was precisely the 'Floating Clouds and Flowing Water Talisman'!

This Floating Clouds and Flowing Water Talisman was one of the Ning family's foundations, and like the Oily-Smooth Water-Slick Talisman, it contained spirituality.

Only before, the Floating Clouds and Flowing Water Talisman was given to Ning Xiaohui to use, and the spirituality consumed was not small.

Ning Zhuo had been thinking about how to add spirituality to the Floating Clouds and Flowing Water Talisman.

Now, he stuck the talisman close to the spirit box, and then opened a small slit in the spirit box.

The next moment, a little spirituality like fireflies drifted out and poured directly into the Floating Clouds and Flowing Water Talisman!

Ning Zhuo's eyes shone brightly: "It can really be done!!!"

For a time, he was infinitely joyful, and his eye sockets were red.

Before, this was just his assumption; now, practicing it, he perfectly verified his idea.

To supplement the spirituality of the Floating Clouds and Flowing Water Talisman, one can completely start from the cultivator.

Ning Xiaohui had used this talisman before she died and was quite fond of it, almost listing it as a forbidden object.

Such a relationship made it so that after Ning Xiaohui was refined into a group of spirituality by fire, a small part of the spirituality could be absorbed by the Floating Clouds and Flowing Water Talisman, adding to the latter's foundation.

Ning Zhuo quickly closed the spirit box, held the Floating Clouds and Flowing Water Talisman, and stood still for a long time.

He gradually calmed his excited mood, turned out various materials from his storage belt, and then used the facilities of the severe illness treatment room to start making machines.

He had a design plan long ago, knocking and hitting, his methods quite skilled.

Half an hour later, a pair of mechanical floating hands were manufactured.

This pair of arms looked like crystal-clear ice crystals at first glance. The ten fingers were slender and delicate, like white jade, and every joint was as round and smooth as jade, as if it were a work of art.

On the surface of the palms and backs of the hands were finely detailed ice-flower-like runes, exuding a cold and holy aura.

The entire pair of arms overflowed with the soft beauty of female curves.

Mechanical creation—Floating Ice White Jade Hand!

Ning Zhuo tried to control it, verifying the effect of this pair of floating ice white jade hands.

It could release frost and freeze the target into ice cubes. But it had no healing ability.

Ning Zhuo tried to use it to draw talismans. It couldn't draw talismans automatically yet, but Ning Zhuo made some frost talismans through it, and his feeling was very deep. Many rune routes, he did them himself, and the effect was not good, but using this pair of mechanical arms, it was easy and natural.

"This is the innate talent—Ice-Fat Jade Hand!"

"It's just that currently, Ning Xiaohui's spirituality is less than ten percent, and it needs to be supplemented."

Only when the spirituality reaches a certain level can the innate talent Ice-Fat Jade Hand be reproduced, and the frozen ice cubes can possess healing power.

"When it is promoted to the spiritual intelligence stage in the future and possesses certain wisdom, I can use it to make talismans every day!"

"As for how to get Ning Xiaohui's commonly used items before she died, it shouldn't be difficult..."

Ning Zhuo calculated the time and pushed the door out.

Staying in the severe illness treatment room for a long time would arouse suspicion.

He left the newly manufactured Floating Ice White Jade Hand mechanical creation in the room and didn't bring it out.

His storage magic tool might still be checked by other Jin Dan cultivators.

Although this possibility was much less than before, Ning Zhuo still wouldn't take such unnecessary risks.

"Brother Ning Zhuo! You finally came out; wait a moment, let me finish the task in my hand, and then let's talk in another place, how about it?" Zheng Jian saw Ning Zhuo come out and hurriedly greeted him.

Ning Zhuo nodded and agreed.

After Zheng Jian finished the repair task, he tidied up the case table and walked to Ning Zhuo: "I didn't expect that as soon as you came in, you could claim the task of the severe illness treatment room. I don't know if there are any tricks?"

Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Why? Brother Zheng hasn't seen it? Perhaps, everyone's tasks are different."

Zheng Jian nodded: "Everyone's time is limited, Brother Ning Zhuo, I'll just say it straight."

"Our Zheng family wants this medical hall, so please accommodate us, Brother Ning Zhuo."

Ning Zhuo couldn't help but frown slightly: "What does this mean?"

He wanted to coexist peacefully with the Zheng family, but looking at Zheng Jian's meaning, the Zheng family wanted to contract all the positions in the medical hall and wanted to eat alone, not allowing other forces to touch it!

Zheng Jian laughed: "This is our Zheng family's decision; since it has been made, it will not be easily changed."

"Brother Ning Zhuo, we have cooperated before, and I know you have some skills."

"Name a price, what will it take for you, for you to lead the Ning family reform team, and from now on, take a detour from the medical hall?"
