Chapter 300: Five Elements Pawn

~8 min read 1,500 words

The arena is divided into three areas.

Two areas are mechanism manufacturing areas, each belonging to the contestants.

The middle area is the mechanism battle area.

In front of Ning Zhuo, there was a long table with many materials piled up on it.

Ning Zhuo quickly scanned these materials and found that the materials were all at the Qi Refining level, low-end enough to make him feel intimate.

They are Fist Gold, Fire Essence, ancient wood with spirit patterns, large water droplets with frost flowers, and charcoal-baked clay. Finally, there is a piece of middle-grade spirit stone.

"Are there tools for making mechanisms?" Ning Zhuo's heart was filled with questions.

He didn't see it for the time being.

Without manufacturing tools, completely hand-rubbing, the difficulty of making mechanisms rose tenfold, and more.

However, Ning Zhuo found that there were a large number of formation patterns on the table. This immediately reminded him of the surgical tables in the medical center.

"Perhaps this is the same arrangement as those surgical tables. The table stores many mechanism tools."

Ning Zhuo wanted to verify this guess, but found that he could not move. A formless force was restraining him.

It was not until the announcement of the start of this round of Palace Examination that this formless force suddenly disappeared, allowing Ning Zhuo to move freely.

Ning Zhuo first looked directly in front of him, where his opponent's position should be.

Blurred, can't see clearly.

Ning Zhuo walked forward a few steps and came to the table. He reached out and touched the table, poured magic power into it, and sure enough, took out many mechanism tools. There were welding torches, tiger-head pliers, etc.

After the guess was verified, Ning Zhuo looked at the opposite side again, still blurred.

He didn't care about these, but focused on checking the materials provided by the Palace Examination.

Fist Gold, one piece after another, at first glance, there are at least thirty pieces, each resembling a clenched fist. The naming of Fist Gold also comes from this.

Ning Zhuo knew clearly in his heart: this is a hard metal ore with high strength and durability.

"I can use it to build the skeleton of the mechanism doll."

Fist Gold was checked, the quality was neither good nor bad, it was the most common one on the market.

Ning Zhuo continued to check.

The second item is Fire Essence.

This thing is one of the specialties of Fire Persimmon Immortal City, Ning Zhuo is most familiar with it, and the inspection speed is the fastest.

Ancient wood with spirit patterns...

Ning Zhuo lifted a large section of ancient wood and placed it in front of him to observe.

Even if it was sawed off, this large section of ancient wood still exuded a faint vitality.

The cross-section of the wood was covered with spirit patterns.

Whenever plants absorb spiritual energy for a long time, this kind of spirit pattern will be produced. The longer the time, the more dense the spirit patterns.

On the other hand, the more spirit patterns, the higher the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy.

"This ancient wood must have been a spirit plant before it died."

When Ning Zhuo checked this material, he focused on the distribution and direction of its spirit patterns.

"It can be used to store spirit stones and build a path for spiritual power transmission. There is only one spirit stone, so it still has to keep a part to make the formation disk of the gathering spirit formation!"

Ning Zhuo continued to check.

Large water droplets with frost flowers, as big as a basin.

The water droplets are like a huge blue bun, round and round. On the surface of the water droplets, pieces of frost flowers are distributed. These frost flowers are all very large, comparable to the palm of an adult.

As Ning Zhuo's palm approached, the frost flowers on the surface of the water droplets melted rapidly.

"It can be used to make weapon parts, or auxiliary parts for cooling itself." Ning Zhuo thought of two main application directions.

After that is charcoal-baked clay.

This kind of clay is gray-black.

It will change itself greatly with temperature.

When the temperature is high, it becomes a hard solid. When the temperature is low, it is sticky and can be easily kneaded and shaped.

Besides that, it has outstanding fire-element resistance.

Sometimes, it can also be used as coal, providing a base material for combustion, accumulating heat for the mechanism creature.

Finally, there is the only piece of middle-grade spirit stone.

"Ordinary quality."

"Just relying on one spirit stone is not enough for a long battle. So, the gathering spirit formation in the mechanism doll is a must."

"This spirit stone is at most a starting stone."

In the process of checking the materials, Ning Zhuo had already conceived many things.

Without rest, he raced against time and officially started refining.

The first step is to build the skeleton.

Ning Zhuo processed the charcoal-baked clay.

He first lowered the temperature so that the clay could be easily shaped.

Under his clever hands, a pile of clay was shaped into a deep-mouthed vessel, standing on the table, like a small well dug out.

Ning Zhuo took the welding torch and melted the Fist Gold. The Fist Gold immediately turned into a pool of gold solution in the scorching flame spray.

The flowing gold was stored in the small well shaped by the charcoal-baked clay.

Ning Zhuo cast the Gold Picking Technique on it!

This spell came from the trial level and can freely extract metal according to the cultivator's will.

In a normal state, hard Fist Gold is difficult to refine gold, and the difficulty is quite high, and the effect is slow. But in a liquid state, it is twice the result with half the effort.

"How many times is it best to refine?" Ning Zhuo faced this problem.

Theoretically, the more the better. But in reality, he must consider time.

Once the time limit is reached, he cannot continue to make mechanisms. Too many refinements will affect the final finished product.

The question of how many times to refine is actually a holistic control of the entire refining process.

If you can accurately plan the time for each step, then it is even better.

This problem did not stump Ning Zhuo.

He had a clear plan in his heart, and according to the plan, refining three times in this link was the most appropriate.

Such a small detail can already show whether a mechanism cultivator is excellent.

Such details are constantly piled up, and the final impact on the finished product is huge.

Ning Zhuo quickly passed this step and started the next step.

He shaped the gold solution into a skeleton shape.

It is worth mentioning that these skeletons are hollow.

After completing this step, Ning Zhuo began to process the spirit-patterned ancient wood.

Because there was only one spirit stone, Ning Zhuo had to cut out a formation disk with ancient wood first and draw the gathering spirit formation.

After doing this step, Ning Zhuo cut the ancient wood along the spirit patterns and inserted the cylindrical thin wood strips into the golden skeleton to serve as the bone core.

Ning Zhuo used the spell from the trial level again, and a three-inch cylindrical ancient wood strip could grow up to five inches at most. If it grew longer, it would be counterproductive, and the entire wood strip would wither and die directly.

After doing this step, Ning Zhuo rested for more than ten breaths.

Skilled mechanism cultivators often have such good habits, not just busy, but with tension and relaxation.

Because next, Ning Zhuo had to process Fire Essence, and he must ensure his own state.

He began to process Fire Essence.

For this material, he was as familiar as he could be.

Ning Zhuo made Fire Essence into firecrackers. This was also a mechanism part he was quite familiar with, and his Fire-Exploding Monkey mechanism was generally equipped with such firecrackers as a common attack means.

And when facing the frost flower large water droplets, Ning Zhuo completely displayed his formation attainments!

He arranged at least three formations in the frost flower large water droplets, fast and stable. And in the formation eye, Ning Zhuo filled in several frost talismans he made on the spot.

Finally, this large water droplet could change its shape at will with Ning Zhuo's will.

Ning Zhuo hung it on the skeleton.

Then, he shaped the charcoal-baked clay again and made it into a body, completely covering the skeleton.

In the remaining time, he went back and made a large number of firecrackers.

Ning Zhuo named the final mechanism doll—Five Elements Pawn.

The attack method is mainly mechanism firecrackers, and the defense is borne by the frost flower large water droplets, which can rush out of the body at critical moments and turn into armor or shields.
