Chapter 439: Ning Zhuo's New Supernatural Power

"Human Life Hanging by a Thread!" Zhu Xuanji's heart tightened.

If Ning Zhuo mastered this kind of supernatural power, then the Zhu family would definitely not let it go.

However, the next moment, Shen Lingshu changed the subject: "But the situation where Ning Jiufan's energy is in a high position may also be due to his own reasons."

"In terms of energy, there is a saying of 'things will turn around after reaching an extreme'."

"A person's luck falls to the bottom, and after surviving this low valley, it must be rising."

Shen Lingshu also said: "There is another reason, which is external help."

"Powerful external force will also make Ning Jiufan's luck flourish and rise step by step."

"For example, we treat Ning Jiufan so courteously in Jade Steel Mountain, doesn't it affect the current mayor of Jade Steel Mountain town, making him enthusiastic about Ning Jiufan and even the Ning family?"

"We also added an official technique to his official seal, allowing him to use national power to assist in cultivation."

"There is another more important factor, and that is Yuan Lao."

Since Ning Jiufan was saved, Zhu Xuanji took the initiative to teach Ning Jiufan the method of demon cultivation.

Ning Jiufan immediately taught it to Yuan Lao, and in these days, he has been helping the latter to practice actively.

Yuan Lao was originally a demon beast, because of the ape-like genus, his wisdom was stronger than the vast majority of demon beasts, but weaker than ordinary people, and he would still be dominated by emotions and instincts.

The Meng family hired killers to set up an ambush and prepared means, which could be strongly targeted at this weakness of demon beasts.

But as long as Yuan Lao starts to practice and turns from a demon beast to a demon cultivator, wisdom will sprout and continue to rise, and at the lowest, it will be no different from ordinary people.

In this way, the means against demon beasts will no longer be effective, which is a huge improvement for Ning Jiufan and even the entire Ning family.

From this point of view, Ning Jiufan's strong luck is also very reasonable.

Zhu Xuanji was a little confused: "In this way, doesn't it still not prove that Ning Zhuo mastered the 'Human Life Hanging by a Thread' supernatural power?"

Shen Lingshu nodded: "Do you think it is so easy to calculate the results of divination? The more special the target with strong energy, and the more major events related to oneself, the harder it is to calculate accurately. Even the calculated results will instead prompt you to act wrongly, leading to more unfavorable consequences."

"The backlash of divination is like this."

"And what we want to calculate is Ning Zhuo's background, but the real target is not in front of us, so we can only attack from the side. This undoubtedly adds difficulty."

Zhu Xuanji was speechless.

He looked at the Mysterious Qi Intake Bag in Shen Lingshu's hand and asked: "When will the energy here be returned to Ning Jiufan?"

"The time limit is approaching, and Ning Jiufan already wants to leave and go to Fire Persimmon Immortal City to participate in the battle for the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence."

"The Meng family's ambush failed this time, and there will inevitably be new measures against Ning Jiufan."

"In this situation, it is better to let him go all out."

Ning Jiufan is very critical.

Even more critical than Yuan Lao!

If Yuan Lao is gone, the Nandou royal family can have other methods to support his combat power. Of course, this is not without a price. The Ning family is bound to pay more for this in the contract.

The Ning family is like a nail, nailed in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, helping the royal family resist Meng Kui and preventing the Meng family from swallowing this immortal city with the shortest construction time.

The profit involved in an immortal city is often huge, and Fire Persimmon Immortal City sits on Fire Persimmon Mountain, producing continuous benefits.

According to its potential, it can become the strongest treasure refining place in the entire Nandou Kingdom.

But at present, it has not been developed subsequently.

This immortal city is in the fierce game between the Zhu family and the Meng family.

The Zhou family and the Ning family have become the tentacles of the royal Zhu family. The Zhou family is a local family and showed weakness in the previous battle for the Lava Immortal Palace.

Therefore, the Zhu family values the Ning family more.

In Zhu Xuanji's view, Ning Jiufan himself has considerable combat power, especially the impression Ning Zhuo left on him is too deep.

In the mere Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, he dared to plot the Lava Immortal Palace, planned for more than ten years for his mother, endured, was good at planning, and stood out at the last moment, regardless of life and death. Such loyalty and filial piety, such wisdom and courage, show how the Ning family style is!

Zhu Xuanji's perception is also the perception of the Zhu family.

The Nandou royal family generally believes that the Ning family style is very upright and is the best choice to resist and block the Meng family's erosion of Fire Persimmon Immortal City!

"Did that Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence really run out by itself? Could it be secretly planned by Meng Kui?"

"Even if he happened to meet it, he would inevitably design a game to target Ning Jiufan."

"Ning Zhuo went out, and his cultivation was weak, which can only be said that the future is promising. Ning Jiufan is a Golden Core, he is the key figure at the moment."

Zhu Xuanji explained the importance of Ning Jiufan to Shen Lingshu.

Shen Lingshu nodded: "Rest assured, Xuanji."

"How could I not know the value of Ning Jiufan."

"But his energy, I will still hold it in my hand and not release it for the time being."

"On one hand, I can measure his luck background more, as well as whether Ning Zhuo mastered the 'Human Life Hanging by a Thread' supernatural power. On the other hand, this is actually a strategy against Meng Kui."

"Meng Kui is also good at divination, and he will inevitably calculate Ning Jiufan before the war."

"Ning Jiufan's energy is calculated by him, which will inevitably make him underestimate the enemy."

"When the critical moment comes, I suddenly release the energy, combined with my spells, it will make Ning Jiufan's energy soar by more than ten times!"

"At that time, it will inevitably catch Meng Kui off guard."

Zhu Xuanji heard this calculation and immediately understood that Shen Lingshu had already planned it, so he felt relieved.

Liangzhu Kingdom, Canglin Immortal City.

The raging flames gradually extinguished.

Jin Li looked exhausted.

He sat in front of the refining furnace for several days. During this period, he did not sleep or rest, occasionally pinching finger seals, casting spells, and his heart was hanging.

Ning Zhuo, Sun Lingtong, and Zhang Zhongyi stood behind Jin Li.

Jin Li shouted: "Open for me!"

Chi—!

The furnace door opened slowly, and a large amount of hot air sprayed out, turning into steam water mist, filling the entire room.

Jin Li raised his little finger and waved it gently, and a wind was born out of thin air, rolling away all the water vapor.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong had already sensed the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon.

The next moment, the pocket-sized mechanical swimming dragon was slowly pulled out by an invisible force.

Sun Lingtong mobilized his natural talent, his eyes shone with spiritual light, and he observed carefully.

Ning Zhuo could see with the naked eye—the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon was more broken than before.

Before entering the refining furnace, the mechanical swimming dragon had 30% damage and had not been repaired. Now, the damage situation climbed again, reaching at least 50%!

Especially the second half of the mechanical dragon body, there were cracks everywhere, some dragon scales had disappeared, revealing the outer armor layer.

But since they wanted to grab time and eliminate the Blood Trace Shadow Tracking Technique, paying these prices was Sun and Ning's own choice.

Sun Lingtong took the swimming dragon with both hands, looked at it for a while, and nodded slowly to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo then took out the treasures and handed them to Jin Li.

These treasures naturally came from the Old Monster in the Stone, reaching the Nascent Soul level.

Jin Li smiled satisfactorily and nodded to Ning Zhuo: "Little friend Ning Zhuo, your mechanical swimming dragon needs repair, I can also contribute."

Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly, saying that he was short of money, and solving the Blood Trace Shadow Tracking Technique first was already a violation of the family's trade task.

Wait until he is wealthy in the future, then find Jin Li and ask the master to help.

Jin Li tossed the treasures in his hand: "Little friend Ning Zhuo, don't be restrained. If you want to repair the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon now, it is also possible. You only need to sign a contract between you and me, and you will pay me slightly more of these treasures in the future."

Ning Zhuo laughed and brushed it off.

The Nascent Soul-level treasures taken from the Old Monster in the Stone were of too good quality, making Jin Li very thirsty.

He didn't know yet that these treasures all had hidden dangers.

After dealing with Ning Zhuo several times, Jin Li had a good impression of Ning Zhuo. After this cooperation, there was more trust, and he could pay in advance, allowing Ning Zhuo to owe money to a certain extent.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong discussed it and finally declined this quite tempting proposal.

After solving the hidden danger of the tracking spell, Sun and Ning left the city directly, did not return to the Three Generals Camp, but sent a flying letter.

They stayed away from the immortal city and entered the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon.

Ning Zhuo came to the furnace cabin and poured out a large number of spirit stones, feeding them to the furnace in the mechanical swimming dragon.

"This time, it can be considered a desperate gamble." Ning Zhuo sighed.

The fire essence reserve was bottoming out, and the mechanical swimming dragon could not return to the Thousand Peaks Forest at all.

Ning Zhuo could only use all the spirit stones in his hand and put them into this adventure. And this was only enough to barely buy a one-way ticket, so...

He also misappropriated public funds.

He was in charge of the accounts of the Three Generals Camp, took a batch of spirit stones from it, mixed them with his own, and sent them all into the furnace.

Sun Lingtong licked his lips and smiled: "This is exciting enough."

Ning Zhuo sighed again.

His pressure on funds was too great.

Look at the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon, it was 50% damaged and could not be repaired at all.

He was really too difficult.

On the surface, he was glamorous, everyone thought he was a young master of a big family, with amazing wealth, and he took out Nascent Soul-level treasures from time to time.

But in fact, these treasures all had problems, it was just that they hadn't reached the time limit for explosion yet.

Ning Zhuo's foundation had always been very thin.

The branch family force behind him was founded by him, and it was just starting, waiting to be fed, and it was difficult to provide Ning Zhuo with much support.

Ning Zhuo wanted to deal with the Six Caves Sect and take back the mechanical carriage and other things. The best strategy was to join the Liangzhu Kingdom side and borrow power to fight.

He was on the right path and therefore achieved many results.

For example, he cured Sun Lingtong and removed the Blood Trace Shadow Tracking Technique. These he relied on Zhang Zhongyi and Jin Li respectively. If Ning Zhuo fought alone, he would not be able to achieve such results.

But to this step, he also reached the limit.

Most of the treasures of the Old Monster in the Stone were consumed, and spirit stones were seriously insufficient. He was already unable to protect himself, but in the future, he might have to subsidize the Three Generals Camp!

The Three Generals Camp needs to be maintained so that Ning Zhuo can look for opportunities on the front line and plot the mechanical carriage.

The three generals, Liu, Guan, and Zhang, currently seem to be worth investing in and maintaining.

Ning Zhuo knew clearly that Liu Er was also secretly looking forward to his investment!

But Ning Zhuo had no money left.

Without money, it would be difficult for him to participate in this stage with a high status. If he left the Three Generals Camp and joined the Red Flower Camp, according to Mu Lan's strict military rules, he could not be a military advisor.

Identity level is very important, related to the distribution of spoils, related to how much he can borrow power! And then related to whether he can achieve his goal and take back the mechanical carriage.

To some extent, Ning Zhuo had been forced into a dead end.

The Old Monster in the Stone became the life-saving straw right before his eyes.

"This time, we must succeed!" Ning Zhuo cheered himself up secretly.

He returned to the dragon head cabin and, together with Sun Lingtong, officially started space travel.

The Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon disappeared in place quickly.

In the black curtain, countless silver lights pulled out straight lines, passing quickly beside the mechanical dragon body.

On the dragon body, cracks spread slowly. From time to time, pieces of outer armor shells split apart, separated from the main body, fell into the black curtain, and then vanished in the void.

The void itself is very dangerous for tangible objects.

Nascent Soul cultivators also find it difficult to travel through the void with their physical bodies.

Nascent Soul-level physical bodies are also difficult to resist the erosion and wear of the void.

The Nascent Soul itself can barely do it.

The true value of the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon appeared again!

The black curtain dissipated, the vision brightened, and the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon came directly to the bottom of the cave, in front of the stone ball.

The mechanical swimming dragon's big map is not accurate, but as long as it has walked, there is a record and the most accurate waypoint.

With a waypoint, you can travel through the void and reach the destination directly.

"Back, ha ha ha, I, Sun Lingtong, am back again!" Sun Lingtong put his hands on his hips, his expression was excited, and his attitude was arrogant.

Ning Zhuo's eyes were also fiery.

He had already mastered the method of treating Dao wounds and had succeeded once, and no longer feared the "traps" here.

Before coming, he even found Zhang Zhongyi and asked him to prepare some herbs in advance.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong smeared the herbs all over their bodies, and immediately became two black herb mud men.

Through the detection of the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon, there were only Sun and Ning in the cave, and no other living things.

The two flew out of the mechanical swimming dragon, each carrying a pick, and started a fierce mining on the stone ball at the bottom of the cave.

They had been away for this period, and the stone ball had "grown" back to its original state.

The stone skin was still very fragile, easily chiseled and destroyed. After large pieces of stone skin fell off, the inner layer was revealed again.

Treasure light overflowed!

All kinds of treasures were piled together, dazzling Sun and Ning, and their heartbeats accelerated.

With so many treasures, they would suddenly become rich, get rid of poverty, have plenty of money, and have a bright future!

The stone ball trembled slightly, just like someone who had been stripped of their clothes, starting to absorb the surrounding Earth-element spiritual energy.

Spiritual energy attached to its surface, constantly solidifying, turning into new stone skin, wrapping the inner stone ball.

Sun and Ning would naturally not let this happen, they immediately waved their picks and shoveled off the stone skin.

But when they touched the inner layer of the stone ball, whether it was a pick or a magic tool, even if Sun Lingtong used a dagger to perform sword art, it was difficult to shake the inner stone ball at all.

This is not to mention knocking these treasures down.

Sun Lingtong was still full of interest.

They came prepared this time.

"Little Zhuo, it's up to you next." Sun Lingtong stepped back slightly.

Ning Zhuo nodded and smiled: "Boss, just watch."

He took out the staff heads.

More than twenty staff heads were arranged on the stone ball, fixed because of the new stone skin.

Ning Zhuo surrounded these staff heads, started to draw talismans, and designed a magic array.

Sun Lingtong cooperated on the side, preventing Earth-element spiritual energy from condensing new stone skin, preventing the latter from covering Ning Zhuo's magic array.

After a while, Ning Zhuo succeeded.

After checking that it was correct, he stretched his arms straight, opened his ten fingers, and "Human Life Hanging by a Thread" emerged from his fingertips.

"Human Life Hanging by a Thread" connected to the ten most critical staff heads.

Accompanied by Ning Zhuo slowly injecting magic power, the staff heads started one after another, acting as array eyes and array hearts, and then mobilized the surrounding talismans, and then fully enabled the entire magic array.

The magic array emitted the brilliance of the five elements.

Thanks to Ning Zhuo's five-element realm, he was able to design such a magic array in a short time.

Of course, the magic power cultivated by the Five-Element Qi Law Art is also just right.

Last time, he felt the principle of petrification through Zhang Zhongyi's silver needles, which was also a very important experience, bringing Ning Zhuo huge inspiration.

Ning Zhuo closed his eyes tightly, fully feeling the principles in the inner layer of the stone ball.

Supernatural Power—Stone Casting Earth Treasure!

The reason why the stone ball is difficult to mine is precisely because the supernatural power "Stone Casting Earth Treasure" is continuously releasing power.

Ning Zhuo felt deeply and realized constantly.

Even if it is a supernatural power, he has no obstacles to understanding.

No way.

The high Earth-element realm makes him have no obstacles to understanding supernatural powers.

He knows the principles, and supernatural powers and spells are the application of principles, a combination of magic power and principles.

"Learned, learned!"

The joy of learning made the corners of Ning Zhuo's mouth curl up.

In his mind, the prototype of the supernatural power "Stone Casting Earth Treasure" had already been produced and was growing rapidly!
