Chapter 336

One year, two years, three years.

The time interval for the Buddha Doctor · Meng Yaoyin to regain her sanity became longer and longer.

Before, she could see Ning Zhuo several times a year. Gradually, it was once every two or three years.

Ning Zhuo studied mechanical arts, forgetting to eat and sleep. Ning Ze and others tried to persuade him, and the school elder asked him to take care of everything, all of which were thrown to the back of his mind, perfunctorily disguised—what could be more important than his mother?

One night, the Buddha Doctor · Meng Yaoyin appeared.

After examining Ning Zhuo's mechanical arts foundation, Meng Yaoyin smiled gratifiedly: "My child studies hard, his mechanical arts foundation is solid, and although his cultivation is low, it is enough to help Mother."

"Mother, what should I do?" Ning Zhuo was happy and hurriedly asked.

Meng Yaoyin: "Mother has already died, only spirituality remains. Now that the spirituality is dissipating 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 and have just started practicing, unable to control Jin Dan-level dolls."

"But the Buddha Heart Demon Seal can break this convention!"

"You use the heart seal, combined with 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 Ning Zhuo the control method.

Ning Zhuo learned it as soon as he learned it, his eyes glowing with faint light, which could affect the Buddha Doctor's actions.

Meng Yaoyin was gratified and finally cared: "Zhuo'er, Mother has modified the Buddha Doctor machine, ensuring that it will not completely return to the immortal palace."

"After Mother seals herself, the Buddha Doctor will act according to its own restrictions and Mother's spirituality. It will wander in Fire Persimmon Mountain, constantly killing Red Flame demonic beasts to maintain the immortal palace."

"Mother can no longer regain her sanity on her own, and needs you to wake her up from the outside. For this, Mother has already thought of a solution."

"Mother is from the Flying Cloud Kingdom, and has improved the sealing technique, and made arrangements... with the help of cultivators exploring Fire Persimmon Mountain... selling the Upper-Lower As-You-Wish Rope... once Mother needs to make a move, mix in special cloud silk..."

Ning Zhuo listened carefully, not daring to miss a word.

At the end, Ning Zhuo asked back: "Mother, I recently re-read the 'Magma Immortal Palace Strategy', whether it is the Big Snake Sickle or you, you have all gone through the gold furnace. Why can the gold furnace refine spirituality? Is this related restriction derived from a certain scripture? If I get it, can I help you increase your spirituality?"

Meng Yaoyin smiled slightly: "Mother has already thought about this, and it is indeed possible."

"In the future, you can try it when you enter the palace."

"However, spirituality is spirituality, memory is memory. Mother's memory has already been lost a lot, leaving only the most critical part."

"Although the spirituality is sealed, it can't stop the Dao wound from wearing away memories."

"Zhuo'er, Mother..."

Meng Yaoyin choked, her tone trembling slightly: "Mother, maybe in the future, I won't remember you. Acting only on spirituality, I hope you won't be sad!"

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 immortal palace, I will definitely be able to save you!"

Meng Yaoyin reached out and stroked Ning Zhuo's face, her eyes full of love: "Mother certainly believes in you, Zhuo'er, Mother is so lucky to have such a good child."

"Accompanying you for so many years, Mother is actually satisfied."

"Seizing the immortal palace is not an important thing."

"Neither is Mother."

"You must have your own life, and you will have your own path..."

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 Immortal Palace has lowered the standard to the Qi Refining stage... perhaps it will never be waited for in this life!"

Ning Zhuo decided to blow up the immortal palace.

He "accidentally met" Ning Chen and Ning Yong.

Ning Chen provoked: "Then if I were your uncle and aunt, seeing you living in poverty in an inconspicuous small workshop, what would they think?"

"Perhaps thinking: Look, this 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, gradually becoming the bottom of the cultivators!"

Ning Zhuo was alert: "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 to work hard, not knowing that Ning Zhuo was just playing along.

Ning Zhuo met Ning Zhanji, and Ning Zhuo and the family cultivators went deep into Fire Persimmon Mountain.

Ning Zhanji educated him: "You are still young now, don't just drill into the eyes of money. You must know that investing in yourself is the best way to succeed."

"Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you will have a different life situation."

Ning Zhuo confirmed at this point: "The one who wants to design 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 Ning Zhuo went deep into Fire Persimmon Mountain, he contacted the mechanical Buddha Doctor through the heart seal.

There was faint light in his eyes, remotely controlling the Buddha Doctor, killing Red Flame demonic beasts all the way, and hurriedly setting up simple magic arrays as bait.

The Ning family cultivators soon fell into the trap—

"There is a Fire-Melting Demon Ape ahead!" Suddenly, the cultivator responsible for reconnaissance in the team shouted a warning.

The Ning family team went deeper and deeper, surrounded by demonic beasts, forming an array to protect themselves.

The Buddha Doctor approached the Magma Immortal Palace, triggering Zheng Shuanggou's attack.

"Rat, dare to covet the immortal palace, leave your life!" Zheng Shuanggou roared.

The Shadow Demon Cultivator Buddha Doctor, under Ning Zhuo's control, had an old voice, laughing wildly: "The treasures of the cultivation world are obtained by those who have fate. The big clans of Fire Persimmon Immortal City want to swallow the Magma Immortal Palace privately? Dreaming!"

In the battle, the Shadow Demon Cultivator killed Ning Zhanji with a casual blow.

"Lord Ning Zhanji!" The Ning family cultivators shouted. But Ning Zhanji stared wide-eyed, fell to the ground, and died with his eyes wide open.

The immortal palace was blown out, the Dharma-spreading bell rang through the city, which was beyond Ning Zhuo's expectations.

He and other Ning family cultivators were all brought back to the prison for questioning.

Ning Zhuo, for the sake of insurance, remotely controlled the Buddha Doctor to follow all the way. Once he was identified, he would use the Buddha Doctor to rescue him.

Ning Zhuo passed the questioning smoothly, but an accident occurred when he left 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 affected, fleeing one after another.

Ning Chen and Ning Yong also wanted to pull Ning Zhuo to run away.

Ning Zhuo said: "Why run? Let's go back to the prison, it's safe here!"

The two were stunned.

Ning Zhuo grabbed their hands directly: "Listen to me, it's right."

The three returned to the prison.

Ning Chen and Ning Yong were restless.

Ning Zhuo pretended to be leisurely, eating fruit, 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 dive into the Fire Persimmon Forest.

Fei Si's performance was as Ning Zhuo expected; he instead stopped Chi Dun.

Ning Zhuo, in the identity of the Chui Tiao Ke, gathered Sun Lingtong and Han Ming, and successfully looted the elixirs of the Ziyang Courtyard.

Ning Zhuo successfully plotted against Han Ming.

Sun Lingtong suggested testing the elixirs and keeping them.

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, our actions are very likely to be interpreted as a plot against Meng Chong."

Ning Zhuo snorted coldly: "Isn't this simple? Throw them directly into the Fire Persimmon Forest."

Sun Lingtong was stunned, then his eyes shone, clapping and praising: "Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful!"

It was indeed wonderful.

The elixirs were sent to the Buddha Doctor openly, which greatly reduced the connection between Chui Tiao Ke, Sun Lingtong, and the Shadow Demon Cultivator.

And with the help of the Buddha Doctor machine's Buddha light purification ability, even if the Phoenix Soul Blood Fragrance Pill, Foundation Establishment Pill, etc., were planted with tracking means by the Foundation Establishment cultivator Sun Lie, they would be purified clean.

Fire Persimmon Festival.

Chen Cha sighed at Yuan Da Sheng's reliability.

Ning Zhuo didn't speak, strands of faint 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 cultivator's control and killed Yuan Er.

The assassination failed.

Yuan Da Sheng turned back and continued to pick persimmons.

On the hillside, the faint light in Ning Zhuo's eyes had accumulated to the extreme.

"Come, come." He called softly in his heart.

The previous assassination had already attracted the attention of the Jin Dan cultivators. The subsequent explosion made almost everyone shift their attention.

The Buddha Doctor took this opportunity to shrink his body and dive into the storage magic array of a Fire-Exploding Monkey.

After the mechanical monkeys stored fire persimmons to the limit, they were remotely controlled back by the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

They would stand in the magic array of a huge circle, spit out the fire persimmons in the storage magic array, and pile them up on the ground.

Whenever a small mountain one foot high was piled up, the magic array would activate, teleporting the fire persimmons directly to the grain warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion.

Thus, the Shadow Demon Cultivator disappeared mysteriously!

A group of Jin Dan cultivators all looked serious.

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 pupil 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 pupil insight. Below Jin Dan, no living thing has ever escaped my eyes!"

Ning Zhuo entered the immortal palace with his soul, and in the reward session, he directly chose the "Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Resolving Sutra"!

The content of the Buddha scripture was quickly transmitted to Ning Zhuo's heart.

"Sure enough, just as I guessed!" Ning Zhuo was first excited, then stunned.

The content of the Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Resolving Sutra moved him!

At this moment, he almost cried with joy.

"Mother, the 'Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Resolving Sutra' can refine spirituality, can increase spirituality for you."

"It should be the restriction in the gold furnace."

"Mother, the child has found it!"

The City Lord's Mansion sent assassins to attack the three genius cultivators.

Ning Zhuo was in a small cultivation secret room, surrounded by floating clouds, obscuring his vision.

He turned his head and stared in a certain direction, his brows furrowed, faint light flashing in his eyes.

The Buddha Doctor was hidden, always guarding Ning Zhuo's safety.

Ning Zhuo, with the help of the Buddha Doctor, killed the assassin instantly, 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.

Clatter, clatter, clatter!

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 Sutra, under the cover of the Cloud-Hiding Bud, refined this small courtyard.

It extracted specks of spiritual light and poured them into the mechanical Buddha Doctor.

The Buddha Doctor regained agility.

Spirituality rose, and it could already display its own immortal assets and divine abilities, and its strength was further restored.

"Mother!" Ning Zhuo choked, in the sea of fire, meeting his mother again.

"Who... are you?" The Buddha Doctor · Meng Yaoyin said.

Ning Zhuo's whole body stiffened.

The 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?"

Ning Zhuo's eyes turned red, his voice trembling: "Mother, I am your child, I am Ning Zhuo."

"Ning... Zhuo?" The Buddha Doctor · Meng Yaoyin looked puzzled.

She couldn't remember.
