The surface of its turtle shell was covered with uneven red-brown rock blocks. The stones were spaced apart, and the gaps crisscrossed, outlining the turtle patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the palace spirit of the Lava Immortal Palace—Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit, who was resting, slowly opened its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked up, looking at the top of the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lava Immortal Palace shook slightly, helping its line of sight penetrate the palace roof, penetrate the heavy clouds and smoke, and finally see a blurred figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the City Lord of Fire Persimmon Immortal City!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid being detected by the City Lord, the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit did not look closely, and immediately turned its thoughts, and its line of sight began to spread downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its line of sight was extremely fast, quickly covering the entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City, and spreading to the dense and scorching Fire Persimmon Forest at the foot of the mountain, before stopping abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit's red eye sockets, golden pupils shone brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It increased the intensity of its inspection. In its field of vision, real objects such as mountain cities, forests, and residents gradually virtualized, revealing a magnificent array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This array had two large array eyes, one giant array eye in the mountain body, and another small array eye located in the City Lord's Mansion. There were also five array pillars, located in the Zhou family, Zheng family, Ning family residences, as well as the dungeon and City Guard barracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The array was large in scale, almost covering the entire Fire Persimmon Mountain, and also connected with a large number of small arrays in the Fire Persimmon Forest at the foot of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the array feet of the Immortal City array were inserted straight down from the top of Fire Persimmon Mountain, deeply submerged in the mountain body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cyan-green array patterns of the Immortal City array intertwined, like a giant net covering the sky and the earth, locking the entire Fire Persimmon Mountain. The Immortal Palace was like a bird in a cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit snorted; this feeling of being bound made it very irritable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It used its front claws to support its body, suddenly jumped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had no wings, but it flew swiftly and nimbly. Its speed was extremely fast, shuttling in mid-air, like a stream of orange-gold light that lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stream of light drew a brilliant circle in the air and fell back onto the seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit turned from movement to stillness, and sparks of fire followed the inertia, smashing onto the seat, and then splashing everywhere in the dim palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit vented its boredom slightly, and then continued to look up slightly, looking into the distance, observing the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its gaze first focused on the City Lord's Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, in the mansion, a burly big-eyed youth was sitting cross-legged, actively circulating his energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike usual, the burly youth was not accumulating magic power, but dispersing his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the City Lord's grandson—Meng Chong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The City Lord's voice transmission seemed to still be echoing in Meng Chong's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meng Chong, my grandson, I have used the Opportunity Designation Talisman to involve the aura of the Lava Immortal Palace with you! And lit the Divine Calculation Incense to calculate the best steps.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, you need to be the first to cultivate the 'Five Elements Qi Law Formula' and reach the third level of Qi Refining. This point is very critical, which can give you a huge first-mover advantage. Doing this step is half the success. The advantage accumulates continuously, like a snowball, and you will gradually shake off other competitors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a pity that the Five Elements Qi Law Formula is a Daoist cultivation technique. If it were a Buddhist cultivation technique, the Salvation Pill I have here could be used by you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, you need to disperse your cultivation as soon as possible and re-practice the Five Elements Qi Law Formula!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone will send you enough Nourishing Pulse Body Protection Powder, you don't need to be stingy, take it all, and achieve perfect cultivation dispersion at the fastest speed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Chong exhaled a turbid breath, his big eyes full of determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Opportunity Designation Talisman and Divine Calculation Incense were treasures of the Nascent Soul level, worth tens of thousands. The Fire Persimmon City Lord invested so heavily, it could be said that he directly pressed the heavy burden of seizing the Lava Immortal Palace onto Meng Chong's shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Chong's heart was full of fighting spirit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather, you have done so much for me, if the grandson still fails, it would be in vain to be surnamed Meng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will definitely not let you down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Must win this first place!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Chong's face was full of firmness, he closed his eyes tightly, and continued to disperse his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his previous cultivation base was too high, reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining. Dispersing his cultivation at this time required more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon-Turtle Fire Spirit slowly shifted its gaze, moving from the City Lord's Mansion to the Zhou family residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A secret underground room of the Zhou family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu were standing in front of a large array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zeshen said, \"This Gathering and Scattering As You Wish Spirit Tide Array, in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, only our Zhou family has it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Da Zhu, next, you will enter this array to disperse your cultivation. Then choose the Five Elements Qi Law Formula and re-practice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This large array can help you speed up the dispersion of cultivation, and can also help you re-practice as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm counting on you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou family had a deep foundation, and among the three major families, it belonged to the first place. There was no dispute about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to plot the Lava Immortal Palace, the Zhou family had made many attempts long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, they arranged for family members Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu to join the Mud Flow Sect for cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mud Flow Sect was a rare sect that was good at mechanical arts. After Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu achieved success in their studies, they returned to the family to wait for orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, they waited for the Dharma-Transmitting Bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This forced them to make a choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After careful consideration, the Zhou family decided to keep Zhou Zeshen and let Zhou Zhu take the risk of switching to the Five Elements Qi Law Formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zhu had no opinion on this, saying dully, \"Brother Shen, you are smarter than me, you let me do whatever, I will follow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no need to feel guilty toward me, it is only right and proper for me to contribute to the family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zhu took a step and officially entered the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not sit cross-legged, but stood straight, like a tall pillar, stable and simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dispersion of cultivation began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zeshen sighed, secretly feeling sorry for Zhou Zhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zhu had the cultivation base of the eighth level of Qi Refining, which was one level higher than him; dispersing the magic power he had worked hard to cultivate for many years was a huge loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Five Elements Qi Law Formula was likely the key to competing for the Lava Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dharma-Transmitting Bell rang for the first time and made such a big noise, all of which showed—the selection method of the Lava Immortal Palace had undergone a major change after reaching the Qi Refining stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to cope with the possible changes, the Zhou family made a conservative choice while also making an active attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large array began to operate with a buzzing sound, and a look of slight pain appeared on Zhou Zhu's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The invisible power produced by the large array forcibly pulled the magic power out of Zhou Zhu's body. This inevitably caused damage to Zhou Zhu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhou Zhu himself was a Vitality Quiet Nourishing Body; as long as he did not move, vitality would burst out inside his body, allowing the injuries on his body to recover at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large array was helping him violently disperse his cultivation, while Zhou Zhu's own self-healing ability was also activated, actively making up for the meridian injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the key factor in choosing Zhou Zhu to re-practice.\u003C\u002Fp>",1521,"2026-06-17T23:33:09.460Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","07eece9f23ad8dde3aaa184c5952b6e2c2c18539c0123a2a3f8980c2489a3d98","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-30","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-28",783,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-craftsmanship-cover.jpg"]
