Chapter 287
The thing Unlike Ning Zhuo was vaguely worried about still happened—the Zheng family set their sights on the medical hall!
The medical hall in the Lava Xian Gong has excellent facilities, which are very helpful for repairing machines and treating cultivators themselves.
No matter which force masters the medical hall, they will have huge say in logistics.
This kind of power can make the influence of the force go to a higher level.
If the Lava Xian Gong opens in the future, the medical hall will also serve as a place of operation, and with its internal facilities alone, it will definitely make a lot of money every day.
The refining business that the Zheng family has operated for many years cannot compare to the medical hall.
Putting aside all these, just repairing mechanical creations is a huge gain.
Cultivators can dismantle various mechanical creations in the Lava Xian Gong, come into contact with first-hand intelligence, and quickly explore, understand, and learn the mechanical skills within.
You know, these skills all come from the three sects' masters and Nascent Soul level powers, and the value is huge.
The three second-grade positions Unlike Ning Zhuo currently holds correspond to the medical hall, the Five Elements Cannon Tower, and the point-general platform.
Among them, the medical hall is undoubtedly the most valuable.
Because the medical hall can produce and create value, and its scope of application is far larger than the Five Elements Cannon Tower and the point-general platform.
Zheng Jian took the initiative to find Unlike Ning Zhuo and asked him to name a price to let the medical hall out.
This made Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't help but chuckle.
He originally wanted to cultivate the Zheng family's modification team and maintained an open attitude, but as a result, the Zheng family directly wanted to contract the entire medical hall, regarding it as their own pocket, and did not allow other forces to get involved!
"This is the true attitude of a great cultivation family."
In the past, the Zheng family mainly tried to win over Unlike Ning Zhuo and appeared very friendly.
But when the real conflict of interests arrived, the Zheng family immediately revealed a tough and indifferent posture.
They went all out to compete, not hesitating to turn their faces, and as long as the interests were sufficient, any past friendship could be discarded.
"Zheng Jian's persuasion now is just the first step of competition."
Unlike Ning Zhuo knew very well that if he refused, next, he might face various means from the Zheng family.
Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at Zheng Jian, his face unhappy: "Brother Zheng, are you joking? How can such an important place as the medical hall be easily yielded?"
"In the past, the scene of you and me working together to refine mechanical monkeys is still vivid."
"Today, let us compete fairly."
Zheng Jian carried his hands on his back, shook his head, and said with a sincere face: "Unlike Ning Zhuo, there are plenty of positions in the Lava Xian Gong. Why do you have to stare at the positions in the medical hall?"
"In this way, your side and my side will have serious consumption. This is extremely unfavorable for both of our families."
"Be rational, our two sides avoid each other, which is good for both of us and good for the overall situation."
Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "Mastering the medical hall position, my side is duty-bound, please let the Zheng family yield."
Zheng Jian finally snorted coldly: "How is this possible? The strength of my Zheng family is clearly stronger than your Ning family. My clan is an old family in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, while your Ning family just wandered over from the North Wind Kingdom."
"If we really compete, you will lose without a doubt. Unlike Ning Zhuo, think about it carefully, have you not recognized the situation?"
Speaking to this point, this negotiation can be considered to have collapsed.
Unlike Ning Zhuo said expressionlessly: "I don't believe it. Then let's compete and see the truth from our hands!"
After speaking, Unlike Ning Zhuo turned and left, parting on bad terms.
On this point, he could not compromise. Because the medical hall has a severe illness treatment room!
This is very useful for Unlike Ning Zhuo, not only can he store some stolen goods that cannot be seen, but he can also meet Sun Lingtong and others privately, which is a very safe place.
Just now in the severe illness treatment room, he made the Floating Ice White Jade Hand machine. In the future, when he reaches the Qi Condensation stage, he might choose to do it here.
The severe illness treatment room is very critical for Unlike Ning Zhuo.
During the negotiation just now, he had thought about dealing with the Zheng family in a perfunctory way.
After thinking, he found that there was no room for operation.
If Unlike Ning Zhuo agreed to yield, according to the family style and temperament of the Zheng family, it is highly likely that they would not agree to let Unlike Ning Zhuo enter and leave the medical hall freely in the future.
Even if they agreed, Unlike Ning Zhuo would enter and leave alone, while others of the Ning family would be excluded. If this situation happened, it would be even worse for Unlike Ning Zhuo.
It can almost be seen as Unlike Ning Zhuo only caring about his own private interests, as a leader, not leading everyone, but abandoning everyone and disregarding family interests.
"This matter is a bit troublesome..." Unlike Ning Zhuo left the medical hall, thinking all the way about how to deal with it.
Before the trip to the Ciyou Garden, he firmed his heart, no longer wavered, and went all out to fight for the seizure of the Lava Xian Gong.
There is no doubt that the battle for the position of Palace Master of the Lava Xian Gong has reached the final stage.
Unlike Ning Zhuo is now waiting for the palace examination.
This is the only way Unlike Ning Zhuo currently masters to obtain the position of Palace Master.
"To become the Palace Master, one must stand out in the palace examination."
"And to participate in the palace examination, one must look at merit."
"In this regard, my disadvantage is really too great."
This is the thing Unlike Ning Zhuo is most worried about right now.
Before, he bombed the Xian Gong, causing his merit to be deducted to a negative number. Since then, he has received multiple tasks and earned a lot of merit. But until now, his merit is still an embarrassing negative number.
This is just his account for bombing the Xian Gong.
And not long ago, he used the position of the Five Elements Cannon Tower tower master to directly bombard the bottom of Fire Persimmon Mountain, stimulating the red-flame spirit beast tide.
Now, the spirit beast tide is always attacking the Lava Xian Gong, and the various losses they cause to the Lava Xian Gong will have a part counted on Unlike Ning Zhuo.
After this, Unlike Ning Zhuo cooperated with the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit again, by actively letting in red-flame spirit beasts, to reach the minimum condition for shelling the Lava Xian Gong.
In the end, the History Pavilion was destroyed, and a considerable part of this loss will also be counted on Unlike Ning Zhuo.
"It's just that these haven't been settled yet."
Unlike Ning Zhuo can fully estimate that once the results are settled, his merit will inevitably be a huge pit.
"I must fill this huge pit before the palace examination."
"Not only to fill it, but also to have more merit and enter the forefront, so that I can obtain the qualification for the palace examination."
In this situation, relying on Unlike Ning Zhuo alone to earn merit with all his might is definitely not enough.
The only way in front of him is to borrow the power of others!
The modification teams of the Ning family, the Zheng family, and the Zhou family, and even the City Lord's Mansion, can all borrow power, so that Unlike Ning Zhuo can have the greatest possibility of participating in the palace examination.
So right now, for the Zheng family and Zheng Jian, Unlike Ning Zhuo's handling is quite troublesome.
He cannot suppress them blindly, nor can he yield blindly.
The way and method of struggle need to be carefully handled, and the proportion must be firmly controlled.
Only in this way can we achieve a result favorable to him.
After careful consideration, Unlike Ning Zhuo took action that afternoon.
He led a group of people from the Ning family and waited by the street.
A battle had just ended, and the mechanical creations gathered into a stream and retreated slowly.
Unlike Ning Zhuo stood at the forefront of the crowd and suddenly pointed: "See that mechanical pillar? Ning Yong, go and pull it over."
Ning Yong kicked his legs, leaped in, gathered his magic power, reached out and grabbed, pulled the target, and dragged it out of the mechanical team.
Ning Yong carried the mechanical pillar and ran straight back to Unlike Ning Zhuo.
Unlike Ning Zhuo asked him to lay the pillar flat on the ground, and then Unlike Ning Zhuo and Ning Yong received the corresponding repair task together.
This is a repair task that requires multiple people to participate.
Unlike Ning Zhuo squatted down and started to manipulate, while Ning Yong stood by and watched.
Unlike Ning Zhuo opened the outermost layer of the pillar in a few strokes. Then, he lifted the inner layer of the inlay, revealing the internal structure of the pillar.
The pillar is hollow, and there are a large number of array patterns on the inner wall, with a pillar beam in the middle, and a large number of brass gears and gold threads as thin as hair.
These gold threads and copper wheels are intertwined, and some are clearly tangled into a ball.
Such a complex situation made Ning Yong feel dizzy.
Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes shone brightly, and he quickly judged: "The problem is not big, just need to replace some brass gears and reorganize the lines of the gold threads."
Unlike Ning Zhuo did all the work with the highest difficulty and the most cumbersome work successfully. Ning Yong had been watching from the side.
At the last critical moment, he took out a small bronze wrench from his storage belt, and the wrench revealed part of the appearance of the runes.
Unlike Ning Zhuo guided Ning Yong and let him use the small wrench to adjust the angle of each gear.
Ning Yong had to recite magic spells every time he adjusted a gear, and installed them one after another.
He obeyed Unlike Ning Zhuo's orders extremely well.
Unlike Ning Zhuo told him how to do it, and he did it without thinking.
Mainly obedient!
Ning Yong finished successfully, and the repaired pillar machine stood up again, opened its four support legs, and rushed back to the returning mechanical troops.
Unlike Ning Zhuo began to divide the merit.
For the repair tasks of two people working together, the distribution of merit depends on the size of the contribution of the two.
However, such a thing as contribution is very difficult to identify.
In addition to factual basis, it mainly relies on the judgment of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit and Unlike Ning Zhuo himself.
Since the History Pavilion was destroyed, Unlike Ning Zhuo could no longer contact the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit.
If the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit does not participate, it becomes the one-man show of the medical hall curator Unlike Ning Zhuo.
As a curator of a hall, he showed the demeanor of the righteous path at this moment, high style and integrity. He suppressed his own merit to the lowest and pushed most of it to Ning Yong.
So, Ning Yong saw his merit rise sharply, and suddenly reached the standard of the medical officer position.
Ning Yong's own accumulation of merit was also quite a lot.
Unlike Ning Zhuo arranged for him to go to the medical hall immediately to continue earning merit there with the identity of a medical officer.
Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at the crowd behind him: "Who is next?"
Ning Chen came out.
"Young Master, it's me."
"By the way, there is a Zheng family cultivator nearby who has been staring at us, it should be a reconnaissance cultivator from Zheng Jian's side."
Unlike Ning Zhuo laughed: "It doesn't matter."
"Our actions like this are for the general trend."
"Zheng Jian alone... can't stop its power!"
"Let's continue."
"Yes!!!" Everyone responded in unison, morale like a rainbow.
