Chapter 287: Ning Zhuo Exerts Force

The thing Ning Zhuo was vaguely worried about still happened—the Zheng family had set their sights on the medical hall!

The medical hall in the Lava Immortal Palace has excellent facilities, which are extremely helpful for repairing machines and healing cultivators themselves.

No matter which force masters the medical hall, they will have a huge say in logistics.

This kind of power can make the influence of a force go to the next level.

If the Lava Immortal Palace is opened in the future, the medical hall will also be used as a place of operation, and with the facilities inside 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.

Leaving all these aside, just the matter of repairing mechanical creations has huge benefits.

Cultivators can dismantle various mechanical creations in the Lava Immortal Palace, come into contact with first-hand intelligence, and quickly explore, understand, and learn the mechanical skills within.

You must know that these skills all come from the Three Sects' Ascendants, the level of Void Refinement great experts, and the value is huge.

The three second-grade positions 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 carry out production, can create value, and its scope of application is far greater than the Five Elements Cannon Tower and the point-general platform.

Zheng Jian took the initiative to find Ning Zhuo and asked him to name a price to let go of the medical hall.

This made Ning Zhuo couldn't help but chuckle.

He originally wanted to cultivate the Zheng family's reform team and maintain 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 not allowing other forces to touch it!

"This is the true attitude of a cultivation clan."

In the past, the Zheng family mainly tried to win over Ning Zhuo and appeared very friendly.

But when the real conflict of interest arrived, the Zheng family immediately revealed a tough and cold attitude.

They went all out to compete, not hesitating to turn their faces; what old friendship, as long as the interests are enough.

"Zheng Jian's persuasion now is just the first step of competition."

Ning Zhuo knew very well that if he refused, next, he might face various means from the Zheng family.

Ning Zhuo looked at Zheng Jian, his face displeased: "Brother Zheng Jian, are you joking? How can such an important place as the medical hall be easily let go?"

"In the past, the scene of you and me working together to refine the mechanical ape is still vivid in my mind."

"Today, let us compete fairly."

Zheng Jian carried his hands behind his back, shook his head, and said with a sincere face: "Ning Zhuo, there are plenty of positions in the Lava Immortal Palace. Why do you have to stare at these positions in the medical hall?"

"In this way, your side and my side will have serious consumption. This is extremely disadvantageous for both of our families."

"Be rational, let both sides avoid each other; this is good for both of us and good for the overall situation."

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "Our side is duty-bound to master the medical hall positions, so please let the Zheng family retreat."

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-brand family in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, while your Ning family only wandered over from the North Wind Kingdom."

"If we really compete, you will inevitably lose. Ning Zhuo, think about it carefully, have you not recognized the situation?"

Speaking to this point, this negotiation can be considered to have collapsed.

Ning Zhuo said expressionlessly: "I don't believe it. Then let's compete with each other and see the truth from our hands!"

After speaking, 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 to Ning Zhuo; not only can he store some stolen goods that cannot be seen, but he can also meet with Sun Lingtong and others privately, which is a very safe place.

Just now during the negotiation, he was not without thinking about dealing with the Zheng family.

After thinking about it, he found that there was no room for operation.

If Ning Zhuo agreed to retreat, according to the Zheng family's family style and temperament, they would probably not agree to let Ning Zhuo move freely in the medical hall in the future.

Even if they agreed, Ning Zhuo would be allowed to enter and exit alone, while others of the Ning family would be excluded. If this situation happened, it would be even worse for Ning Zhuo.

It can almost be seen as Ning Zhuo only caring about his own private interests, as a leader, not leading everyone, but abandoning everyone and disregarding the family interests.

"This matter is a bit troublesome..." Ning Zhuo left the medical hall and thought all the way about how to deal with it.

After the trip to the Ciyou Garden, he firmed his heart, no longer wavering, and went all out to fight for the Lava Immortal Palace.

Undoubtedly, the competition for the position of Palace Master of the Lava Immortal Palace has reached the final stage.

Ning Zhuo is now waiting for the palace examination.

This is the only way 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 Ning Zhuo is most worried about right now.

Before, he bombed the Immortal Palace, causing his merit to be deducted to a negative number. Since then, he has claimed many 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 Immortal Palace.

And not long ago, he used the position of the Five Elements Cannon Tower leader to directly bombard the bottom of Fire Persimmon Mountain, triggering the red-flame demon beast tide.

Now, the beast tide is always attacking the Lava Immortal Palace, and the various losses they have caused to the Lava Immortal Palace will all be counted on Ning Zhuo in part.

After this, Ning Zhuo cooperated with the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit to bombard the Lava Immortal Palace by actively letting in red-flame demon beasts to meet the minimum conditions.

In the end, the History Pavilion was destroyed, and a considerable part of this loss will also be counted on Ning Zhuo.

"It's just that these haven't been settled yet."

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 Ning Zhuo alone to go all out to earn merit is definitely not enough.

The only way in front of him is to borrow the power of others!

The reform teams of the Ning family, Zheng family, and Zhou family, and even the City Lord's Mansion, can all borrow power, so that Ning Zhuo can have the greatest possibility of participating in the palace examination.

So right now, for the Zheng family and Zheng Jian, Ning Zhuo is quite troublesome to deal with.

He cannot suppress them blindly, nor can he retreat blindly.

The way and method of struggle need to be carefully handled, and the proportions need to be firmly controlled.

Only in this way can the result be favorable to him.

After careful consideration, 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.

Ning Zhuo stood at the forefront of the crowd and suddenly pointed: "See that mechanical pillar? Ning Yong, go and bring it over."

Ning Yong kicked his legs, leaped in, gathered his magic power, reached out and grabbed, lifted the target, and dragged it out of the mechanical team.

Ning Yong carried the mechanical pillar and ran straight back to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo let him lay the pillar flat on the ground and then claimed the corresponding repair task with Ning Yong.

This is a repair task that requires multiple people to participate.

Ning Zhuo squatted down and started to manipulate, while Ning Yong stood by and watched.

Ning Zhuo opened the outermost layer of the pillar in three or two strokes. Then, he lifted the inner layer of the inlay, revealing the internal structure of the pillar.

The pillar was hollow, the inner wall had a large number of array patterns, there was a suspension beam in the middle, and there were a large number of brass gears and gold threads as thin as hair.

These gold threads and copper wheels were intertwined, and some were clearly tangled into a ball.

Such a complex situation made Ning Yong feel dizzy.

Ning Zhuo's eyes shone brightly, and he quickly judged: "The problem is not big; I need to replace some brass gears and then reorganize the route of the gold threads."

Ning Zhuo did all the work with the highest difficulty and the most trivial details. 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 faintly revealed the appearance of the rune part.

Ning Zhuo instructed Ning Yong to use the small wrench to adjust the angle of each gear.

Ning Yong had to recite the magic spell every time he adjusted a gear, and installed them one after another.

He was extremely obedient to Ning Zhuo's orders.

Whatever Ning Zhuo told him to do, he did, without using his brain at all.

The main thing is to be obedient!

Ning Yong finished the finishing work, and the repaired pillar machine stood up again, opened its four support legs, and rushed back to the returning mechanical troops.

Ning Zhuo began to divide the merit.

For the two cooperative repair characters, the distribution of merit depends on the size of the two people's contributions.

However, such things as contribution are very difficult to identify.

In addition to factual basis, it mainly relies on the judgment of the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit and Ning Zhuo himself.

Since the History Pavilion was destroyed, 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 Ning Zhuo.

As a curator, he showed the demeanor of the Righteous Path at this moment, with 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 scholar position.

Ning Yong's own merit accumulation was also quite a lot.

Ning Zhuo arranged for him to go to the medical hall immediately to continue earning merit there as a medical scholar.

Ning Zhuo looked at the people 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."

Ning Zhuo chuckled: "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, their morale like a rainbow.

"Let us continue."

"Yes!!!" The crowd responded in unison, their morale soaring like a rainbow.
