Chapter 39: Hanging Ring

Having had the precious experience of the first time, Unlike Ning Zhuo was no longer a stranger to the darkness.

He didn't hesitate and mobilized the spiritual power in the spirit stone with all his might, running the Five Elements Qi Law.

Click.

He sucked the first mechanical component over and assembled it.

It was an arm.

He sucked over another component and successfully assembled it.

It was a wooden head.

Unlike Ning Zhuo regained his vision.

He lay on the hill of piled-up mechanical components, reached out to touch his head, and found it was still a square big head.

"Why is it this kind again?"

"It catches the wind when running and jumping, which has a negative impact on passing Room Number Two."

Unlike Ning Zhuo turned his big head, dragged his body with his only hand, and climbed everywhere.

He patiently picked out his legs, and only stopped when he chose two that were consistent in length.

Previous experience told him that spending time in this regard was completely worth it.

Not only that, he also decided to try to choose longer arms when picking arms.

"I want long arms and long legs."

"And I also want to change to a smaller head."

Unlike Ning Zhuo failed.

When he rummaged around, picked out a small head, and was about to replace it, he received new information—the initial puppet body, based on aptitude, cannot be freely replaced in Room Number One.

"There is this restriction too?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was stunned, then fell into thought.

"If it is based on aptitude to assemble the puppet, this means—Meng Chong and the others will have a puppet much stronger than mine from the start of this room."

"It also means that the mechanical components piled up like a hill here, despite looking similar in quality, actually have considerable differences in performance."

Unlike Ning Zhuo then thought of himself.

"When I was in the womb, I used Early Wisdom Elixir, so I have the talent of Early Wisdom."

"It is precisely this talent that gave me this big head? So, I cannot replace it with a small head."

"I rely on the Early Wisdom talent to possess this big head. This shows that having a big head also has its benefits, it's just not reflected."

"Besides..."

Unlike Ning Zhuo thought of a suspicious point.

The first mechanical component he attracted was an arm, not a big head!

"The first time was like this, and the second time was also like this. The arm component takes priority over the head component."

"Does this mean that I actually have a hidden talent, and this talent is related to the arm, and is even more excellent than the Early Wisdom talent?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's thinking was agile, his observation was subtle, and he could discover problems from the details.

This was also possible.

Because cultivation talents are varied, strange, and too numerous. Although the Ning family has been doing the work of testing Immortal Aptitude, it can only cover the basic masses and common typical talents. Many special talents cannot be detected by conventional means.

Perhaps, Unlike Ning Zhuo's arm hides such a talent, which has never been tested by the family.

Unlike Ning Zhuo continued to ponder the information just now.

"The information says this is the 'initial puppet body,' and also says it cannot be 'freely' replaced in 'Room Number One'."

"Does this mean that it is actually possible to update the body? In a certain room, can it be freely replaced?"

In just a few breaths, Unlike Ning Zhuo had pondered through this seemingly ordinary piece of news, realizing many key points hidden within.

Despite the reminder in the information, Unlike Ning Zhuo still held a fluke mentality and tried to assemble wing components.

If he could attach wings, then passing Room Number Two would be much easier.

Sure enough... it didn't work.

"So that's how it is. These wings, short horns, claws, etc., are all prepared for non-human existences."

"In the future, will non-human competitors appear in the Magma Xian Gong?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo climbed down from the small hill of mechanical components.

In the process, he also made a quite important observation.

Very quickly, he discovered the various traces he had left behind during his first exploration.

"In other words, this room is exactly the Room Number One I explored for the first time."

This observation result was quite important!

"This is not a room that belongs exclusively to me."

"In fact, so many mechanical components are also reminding me of this point from the side."

"When exploring, the changes I left behind seem to have been retained to a certain extent?"

"There is another question that is quite critical—when I am exploring the Xian Gong, will I encounter others in the same room?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo walked to the door of Room Number One, only then paused his thinking, and reached out to touch the door.

Information was conveyed, just like before, still three options.

One, a spirit stone.

Two, a hanging ring on a mechanical component.

Three, the spell "A Burst of Qi."

Unlike Ning Zhuo had a plan long ago, didn't hesitate, and directly chose the hanging ring.

His current spiritual power was still at seventy percent, far more than his first exploration. And the reward for passing Room Number Two would still include spirit stones.

From a long-term perspective, choosing the spell was the most beneficial. But for the moment, Unlike Ning Zhuo needed immediate combat power the most. Choosing the hanging ring would allow him to go further in this exploration.

"In the initial stage, information is the most important."

"So, I want to explore as far as possible. Only with such a foundation can I collect enough information to make the correct decision."

"Sigh, I don't know which stage Meng Chong and the others have reached."

"I hope I can see their traces as soon as possible."

The circle of light for transmission appeared again, spat out a wooden ring, and then slowly disappeared.

Unlike Ning Zhuo held this wooden ring and observed it at close range.

The entire wooden ring had a diameter of about half a foot, the ring body was thick, and eighteen diamond-shaped crystals were embedded on it.

These crystals all presented a blue-purple faint light. Every time Unlike Ning Zhuo changed his observation angle slightly, the blue-purple faint light would also change, quite eye-catching.

"This is the hanging ring? How do I use it?"

"Are there no instructions?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't receive any information about the hanging ring.

He understood: the reward of mechanical components is actually testing the cultivator's attainments in mechanical arts.

It requires him to personally figure out the correct usage.

Thinking of this, Unlike Ning Zhuo subconsciously pressed the hanging ring against the center of his brow.

There was no movement.

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled awkwardly in his heart: "I forgot, I don't have spiritual sense anymore."

Spiritual sense originates from the Spirit Sea, and the Spirit Sea is the cultivator's Upper Dantian.

In this world, cultivators have a total of three dantians, which are the Upper Dantian Spirit Sea, the Middle Dantian Qi Sea, and the Lower Dantian Essence Sea.

The Upper Dantian brow Spirit Sea is the source of spiritual apertures, the source of the sea of consciousness, and where thoughts condense in the void.

The Middle Dantian chest Qi Sea is the mansion of magic power, where qi gathers like clouds, hiding sharpness and accumulating momentum.

The Lower Dantian abdominal Essence Palace is the confluence of bloodlines, where essence blends, the root of life.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's current puppet body is all wood, without three dantians. Even the "magic power" he uses is just "spiritual power" mobilized from spirit stones to act as a substitute.

Unlike Ning Zhuo held the hanging ring in his hand and tried to infuse spiritual power into it.

Very quickly, the diamond-shaped blue-purple colored diamonds embedded on the surface of the hanging ring were all lit up one by one. ===== CHAPTER 40 =====
