Chapter 336
One year, two years, three years.
The interval for Buddha Doctor·Meng Yaoyin to recover her reason became longer and longer.
Before, she could see Unlike Ning Zhuo several times a year. Gradually, it was once every two or three years.
Unlike Ning Zhuo studied mechanical arts, forgetting to eat and sleep. Ning Ze and others tried to persuade him, and the school elders asked him to take care of everything, but he threw them to the back of his mind, perfunctorily disguising—what could be more important than Mother?
One night, Buddha Doctor·Meng Yaoyin appeared.
After testing Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanical art foundation, Meng Yaoyin smiled gratifiedly: "My child has studied hard, his mechanical art foundation is solid, and although his cultivation is low, it is enough to help Mother."
"Mother, what should I do?" Unlike Ning Zhuo was happy and hurriedly asked.
Meng Yaoyin: "Mother is already dead, only spirituality remains. Now that the spirituality is eroding due to the Dao wound, only by sealing myself can I maintain it for a longer time."
"According to common sense, you are only in the early stage of Qi Refining, having just stepped into cultivation, and cannot control a Jin Dan-level puppet."
"But the Buddha Heart Demon Seal can break this convention!"
"You use the Heart Seal, then with the help of the mechanical components modified by Mother in the Buddha Doctor, and finally combined with Mother's spirituality's natural closeness to you, you can barely control the Buddha Doctor."
Meng Yaoyin taught Unlike Ning Zhuo the method of manipulation.
Unlike Ning Zhuo learned it as soon as he learned it, his eyes glowing with ghostly light, which could affect the Buddha Doctor's actions.
Meng Yaoyin was gratified and finally cared: "Zhuo'er, Mother has modified the Buddha Doctor mechanism, ensuring it won't return to the Xian Gong completely."
"After Mother seals herself, the Buddha Doctor will act according to its own restrictions and Mother's spirituality. It will wander in the Fire Persimmon Mountain, constantly killing Red Flame beasts to maintain the Xian Gong."
"Mother can no longer recover her reason on her own; it needs you to wake her up from the outside. Regarding this, Mother has already thought of a solution."
"Mother is from the Flying Cloud Kingdom and has improved the sealing technique, making arrangements... with the help of cultivators exploring the Fire Persimmon Mountain... selling the Up-and-Down Wishful Rope... once Mother needs to act, mix in special cloud silk..."
Unlike Ning Zhuo listened carefully, not daring to miss a single word.
At the end, Unlike Ning Zhuo asked back: "Mother, I recently re-read the 'Magma Xian Gong Essentials'. Whether it is the Great Snake Sickle or you, both have gone through the Golden Furnace. Why can the Golden Furnace refine spirituality? Is this related restriction derived from a certain scripture? If I obtain it, can it help you increase your spirituality?"
Meng Yaoyin smiled slightly: "Mother has long thought of this, and there is indeed such a possibility."
"You can try it when you enter the palace in the future."
"However, spirituality is spirituality, and memory is memory. Mother's memory has been lost a lot, and only the most critical part remains."
"Although the spirituality is sealed, it cannot withstand the erosion of memory by the Dao wound."
"Zhuo'er, Mother..."
Meng Yaoyin choked, her voice trembling: "Mother, might not remember you in the future. Only acting on spirituality, I hope you won't be sad!"
Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes turned red, his voice hoarse, his tone firm: "Mother, I will definitely think of a way! Don't worry, I will definitely be able to seize the Xian Gong, I will definitely be able to save you!"
Meng Yaoyin reached out and stroked Unlike Ning Zhuo's face, her eyes full of maternal love: "Mother certainly believes in you, Zhuo'er, Mother is so lucky to have such a good child."
"Having accompanied you for so many years, Mother is actually already satisfied."
"Seizing the Xian Gong is not an important thing."
"Neither is Mother."
"You must have your own life, and you will have your own path..."
Unlike Ning Zhuo interrupted: "Mother! Don't say anymore..."
He hugged his mother, and after growing up, he rarely shed tears.
Sixteen years old.
"Mother, the situation has changed! The Magma Xian Gong has lowered its standards to the Qi Refining Stage... perhaps I won't be able to wait for it in this life!"
Unlike Ning Zhuo decided to blow up the Xian Gong.
He "accidentally met" Ning Chen and Ning Yong.
Ning Chen provoked: "Then if I were your uncle or aunt, seeing you down and out, living in an inconspicuous small workshop, what would I think?"
"Perhaps thinking: Look, this Unlike Ning Zhuo doesn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth; without our help, he can only live in poverty and gradually become the bottom layer of cultivators!"
Unlike Ning Zhuo was alert in his heart: "This Ning Chen is not right!"
On the surface, he frowned, his face darkened, as if his heart defense had been broken.
Ning Chen smiled in his heart, continuing his efforts, not knowing that Unlike Ning Zhuo was just playing along.
Unlike Ning Zhuo met Ning Zhanji, and Unlike Ning Zhuo and the family cultivators went deep into the Fire Persimmon Mountain.
Ning Zhanji educated him: "You are still young, don't just drill into the eyes of money. You must know that investing in yourself is the best way to succeed."
"Once you cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage, you will have a different life situation."
Unlike Ning Zhuo confirmed at this point: "The one who wants to plot against me is Ning Zhanji. Although there is someone behind him... hmph, plotting against me? Might as well take the opportunity to solve this person first."
After Unlike Ning Zhuo went deep into the Fire Persimmon Mountain, he contacted the mechanical Buddha Doctor through the Heart Seal.
His eyes contained ghostly light, remotely controlling the Buddha Doctor, killing Red Flame beasts all the way, and hurriedly setting up simple formations to act as bait.
The Ning family cultivators soon fell into the trap—
"There is a Fire-Melting Demon Ape ahead!" Suddenly, a cultivator responsible for reconnaissance shouted a warning.
The Ning family team went deeper and deeper, besieged by beasts, forming a formation to protect themselves.
The Buddha Doctor approached the Magma Xian Gong, triggering Zheng Shuangou's attack.
"Rat, how dare you covet the Xian Gong, leave your life behind!" Zheng Shuangou roared.
The shadow-cloaked demonic cultivator Buddha Doctor, under Unlike Ning Zhuo's manipulation, had an old voice and laughed wildly: "The treasures of the cultivation world are obtained by those who have fate. Your major clans of Fire Persimmon Immortal City want to swallow the Magma Xian Gong privately? Dream on!"
During the battle, the shadow-cloaked demonic cultivator killed Ning Zhanji with a casual strike.
"Lord Ning Zhanji!" The Ning family cultivators shouted. But Ning Zhanji's eyes were wide open, falling to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.
The Xian Gong was blown out, and the Dharma-Transmission Bell rang throughout the city, which was beyond Unlike Ning Zhuo's expectation.
He and other Ning family cultivators were all taken back to the prison for interrogation.
Unlike Ning Zhuo followed the Buddha Doctor all the way for insurance. Once he was identified, he would use the Buddha Doctor to rescue him.
Unlike Ning Zhuo passed the interrogation smoothly, but an accident occurred when leaving the prison.
Chi Dun's Alarm Bell sensed it, allowing Chi Dun to find the Buddha Doctor.
Two Jin Dan cultivators fought.
The Ning family cultivators fled in panic, worried about being caught in the crossfire.
Ning Chen and Ning Yong also wanted to pull Unlike Ning Zhuo to run away.
Unlike Ning Zhuo said: "Run where? Let's go back to the prison, it's safe here!"
The two were stunned.
Unlike Ning Zhuo grabbed their hands directly: "Listen to me, it's right."
The three returned to the prison again.
Ning Chen and Ning Yong were restless.
Unlike Ning Zhuo pretended to be relaxed, eating fruit and drinking tea, secretly concentrating his mind, remotely controlling the Buddha Doctor to fight and retreat.
At the critical moment, he thought of Fei Si, and boldly remotely controlled the Buddha Doctor to pounce into the Fire Persimmon Forest.
Fei Si's performance was as Unlike Ning Zhuo expected; he instead stopped Chi Dun.
Unlike Ning Zhuo, in the identity of the Young Guest, gathered Sun Lingtong and Han Ming, and successfully looted the elixirs of Ziyang Courtyard.
Unlike Ning Zhuo successfully plotted against Han Ming.
Sun Lingtong suggested testing the elixirs and keeping them.
Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "I strongly advise you not to do this."
"This time, we accidentally ran into Meng Chong. He is the grandson of a Nascent Soul, and our actions are very likely to be interpreted as an ambush against Meng Chong."
Unlike Ning Zhuo snorted coldly: "Isn't that simple? Throw them directly into the Fire Persimmon Forest."
Sun Lingtong was stunned, then his eyes shone, clapping his hands in praise: "Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful!"
It was indeed wonderful.
The elixirs were sent to the Buddha Doctor openly, which greatly reduced the connection between the Young Guest, Sun Lingtong, and the shadow-cloaked demonic cultivator.
And with the Buddha Doctor mechanism's Buddha light purification ability, even if tracking means were planted by Foundation Establishment cultivator Sun Lie on the Phoenix Soul Blood Fragrance Pills, Foundation Establishment Pills, etc., they would be purified clean.
Fire Persimmon Festival.
Chen Cha sighed at Yuan Dasheng's reliability.
Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't speak, ghostly light brewing in his eyes.
He sneered in his heart: "Reliable?"
"I have plotted until now, just waiting for this moment."
A dozen mechanical monkeys suddenly broke away from the cultivators' control and killed Yuan Er.
The assassination failed.
Yuan Dasheng turned back and continued picking persimmons.
On the hillside, the ghostly light in Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes had accumulated to the extreme.
"Come, come." He called out softly in his heart.
The previous assassination had already attracted the attention of the Jin Dan cultivators. The subsequent explosion diverted almost everyone's attention.
The Buddha Doctor took the opportunity to shrink its body and dive into the storage magic formation of a Fire-Exploding Monkey.
After the mechanical monkeys stored the fire persimmons to the limit, they were remotely controlled by the Foundation Establishment cultivators to return.
They would stand in a huge circular formation, spitting out the fire persimmons in the storage formation, piling them up on the ground.
Whenever a small mountain one zhang high was piled up, the formation would activate, teleporting the fire persimmons directly to the city lord's mansion's granary.
Thus, the shadow-cloaked demonic cultivator mysteriously disappeared!
All the Jin Dan cultivators had stern expressions.
The Zhou family ancestor questioned Zhu Xuanji's Golden Pupil talent.
Zhu Xuanji said proudly: "I can only tell you that I have mastered the Golden Eye talent, which is close to a divine ability. In the more than ten years since I joined the Divine Catcher Division, I have only encountered three Jin Dan cultivators who resisted my Golden Eye insight. Below Jin Dan, no living thing has ever escaped my eyes!"
Unlike Ning Zhuo entered the Xian Gong with his soul, and in the reward session, he chose the "Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Resolving Scripture" directly!
The content of the Buddha scripture was quickly transmitted to Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart.
"Sure enough, just as I guessed!" Unlike Ning Zhuo was first excited, then stunned.
The content of the Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Resolving Scripture moved him!
At this moment, he almost cried with joy.
"Mother, the 'Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Resolving Scripture' can refine spirituality and increase spirituality for you."
"It should be the restriction in the Golden Furnace."
"Mother, the child has found it!"
The city lord's mansion sent assassins to attack the three families' genius cultivators.
Unlike Ning Zhuo was in a small cultivation secret room, surrounded by floating clouds, blocking his vision.
He turned his head to stare in a certain direction, his brows tightly locked, ghostly light flashing in his eyes.
The Buddha Doctor was hidden, always guarding Unlike Ning Zhuo's safety.
Unlike Ning Zhuo killed the assassin instantly with the Buddha Doctor's hand, his heart moved: "Isn't this the best time to increase spirituality for Mother?"
The Buddha Doctor put away the assassin's corpse and hid in the carriage.
Dadada!
A series of rapid horse hoof sounds came.
A carriage seemed to be out of control, rushing toward the small courtyard.
Boom!
The carriage exploded, flames burning.
The Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Resolving Scripture, under the cover of the Cloud-Hidden Bud, refined this small courtyard.
It extracted specks of spiritual light and merged them into the mechanical Buddha Doctor.
The Buddha Doctor recovered its agility.
Spirituality rose, and it was able to display its own Immortal Assets and divine abilities, and its strength recovered further.
"Mother!" Unlike Ning Zhuo choked, meeting his mother again in the sea of fire.
"You... who are you?" Buddha Doctor·Meng Yaoyin said.
Unlike Ning Zhuo's whole body stiffened.
Buddha Doctor·Meng Yaoyin's voice was very gentle: "Why, you make me feel so close? You must be someone very important to me, right?"
Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes turned red, his voice trembling: "Mother, I am your child, I am Unlike Ning Zhuo."
"Ning... Zhuo?" Buddha Doctor·Meng Yaoyin looked confused.
She couldn't remember.
