Chapter 507: You Have Worked Hard
Xuanyuan Nine Crafts Platform!
Xuan: refers to the ancient vehicle with a canopy or curtain, representing noble and high status, symbolizing the power of high destiny and long-distance travel.
Yuan: the two straight woods driving the livestock in front of the vehicle, representing the source of guidance and power.
And Nine Crafts represents nine types of craftsmanship.
The Xuanyuan Nine Crafts Platform is a mechanism pedestal that contains nine types of craftsmanship to manufacture mechanism vehicle frames.
The entire pedestal looks like a thick long strip, very simple, empty, and completely different from most mechanism pedestals with strange shapes.
It combines wood and metal. The wood is selected from thousand-year-old ancient money elm and blue sea agarwood, presenting natural texture and simple atmosphere. The metal uses Tai-White Yao Gold to ensure stability and durability.
The table surface is translucent, containing countless talismans. These talismans are large and small, some are fine, densely packed together, while others are thick and occupy one side alone.
The talismans radiate slight mysterious light and gradually change with time.
Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes widened, almost emitting light.
He almost left the stone ball and rushed to the pedestal for a deep embrace!
He couldn't wait to infuse spiritual sense, his expression becoming more and more excited.
"Sure enough, it is the same as the records in the book, the nine types of craftsmanship can be different, and can be arranged according to one's own needs."
"Wonderful, truly wonderful."
Unlike Ning Zhuo studied it carefully and found that the nine types of craftsmanship are fine carving, sky fire casting, stacking forging, stardust inlaying...
"It is biased toward fine processing."
What Unlike Ning Zhuo needs is to quickly build mechanism puppets, large-scale manufacturing or repairs.
However, even if it is not very suitable, with this Xuanyuan Nine Crafts Platform, he can still increase his efficiency by more than ten times.
This degree of improvement is already quite considerable!
Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at the second mechanism pedestal.
This pedestal looks like a miniature ancient palace, with a steady shape, and the cloud patterns and dragon-shaped runes on the surface are elegant and smooth.
The main body of the palace presents an ancient bronze color, giving a sense of the vicissitudes of time and historical thickness.
The beams and columns in the palace are thick and round, clumsy but clever, and are all slowly rotating by themselves.
Unlike Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense was infused, and he found that the interior of this palace-shaped mechanism pedestal was countless gears and grooves. The structure is extremely fine, with gears densely packed and layered.
"Mysterious Palace Gear Platform!" Unlike Ning Zhuo quickly identified it.
"Its main value depends on what the main gear is."
Unlike Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense continued to deepen, and soon he saw a huge gear, occupying the center, slowly rotating by itself.
"Left and right stepping wheels?"
Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart moved, and he continued to observe, soon confirming that his judgment just now was not wrong.
The upper and lower ascending wheels and the left and right stepping wheels correspond to each other, which is a quite classic pair of mechanism accessories in mechanism craftsmanship.
There is a third mechanism pedestal.
This mechanism pedestal is cylindrical, like a big drum.
The drum surface is red lacquer, and the cylindrical surface depicts a huge god. The god supports the sky and steps on the earth, with clouds lingering on his knees, shoulders, etc., highlighting his huge figure. His whole body's muscles are bursting, and at a glance, he has a very strong sense of power.
"Giant Spirit Shaping Platform!" Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately understood.
This pedestal is very easy to identify.
Or rather, Unlike Ning Zhuo had long been greedy for many pedestals. It's just that he could only feast his eyes on books and secret records, and kept this love in his heart.
Although mechanism pedestals cannot be compared with the price of alchemy furnaces, weapon refining furnaces, etc., they are not common in the market.
Unlike Ning Zhuo had seen very few mechanism pedestals for sale in the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng for more than ten years.
There is actually an important reason for this, which is that the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng is a new city. Since its construction, because of special reasons such as the Three Sects Masters, it is difficult to develop at full speed.
Now, although the Lava Immortal Palace has appeared, the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng is in a more intense game, let alone rapid development.
The function of the Giant Spirit Shaping Platform is to forcibly change the shape of large materials.
It is also different from most mechanism pedestals.
It is because it contains the God Inviting Technique.
The one invited is the Giant Spirit God.
This type of god has always had a huge and robust physique and possesses powerful strength.
This Giant Spirit Shaping Platform is only at the Jin Dan level and can only invite one Giant Spirit God at the same time. If it is at the Nascent Soul level, it can invite two Giant Spirit Gods at the same time, or one Giant Spirit God and one Craftsman God.
In the absence of a Craftsman God, this Giant Spirit Shaping Platform must contain magic arrays and talismans for auxiliary purposes such as heating, lubrication, burning, fixing, etc.
One Xuanyuan Nine Crafts Platform, one Mysterious Palace Gear Platform, one Giant Spirit Shaping Platform!
"One Nascent Soul level, two Jin Dan levels. Three mechanism pedestals in a row! Who is this going to be given to in the army?"
Unlike Ning Zhuo was suspicious while happy.
Facing this question, he thought of the Mechanism Princess Shuang Ling for the first time.
At the moment, in the Liangzhu Kingdom's army, only she uses mechanisms, and she is at the Nascent Soul level, rich and powerful, and can afford these.
"Hee hee hee." Sun Lingtong also thought of this point and laughed sneakily, "Xiao Zhuo, these mechanism pedestals are probably that Shuang Ling's."
"This time we have to make her look good!"
"Isn't she arrogant at the auction? It's not that there is no report, the time has not come, hee hee hee! Now the time has come."
Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded and continued to cooperate with Sun Lingtong to control the stone ball.
"Old Monster Shi Zhong" appeared everywhere on the battlefield, constantly taking action, letting the Thousand Peaks Forest and Liangzhu Kingdom fight fiercely and tragically, while he made a fortune.
Stones with color like jade and texture like dragon scales on the surface—Dragon Scale Stone.
The color presents a deep blue or black like the night sky, and when held in the hand and shaken quickly, it will leave a shadow in the air—Night Shadow Copper.
Wood with bloodstains intertwined like pythons on the surface—Python Pattern Blood Fir.
The upper part presents green, and the lower part shows blue spirit liquid—Blue Sea Blue Sky.
Four-fingered bird claws that are like copper casting and extremely hard—Dead Dove Claw.
After stealing a lot, Unlike Ning Zhuo gradually realized.
"These pedestals and treasures seem to be a set, and can refine some kind of mechanism creation..."
"Old Monster Shi Zhong" stole the transport team back and forth, left and right, inside and out.
The entire transport team was wailing, either killed or stolen clean, and morale collapsed. 【50
A large-scale rout began to occur.
This caused the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Liangzhu Kingdom to lose their military force augmentation, and their combat power immediately slipped by a notch.
Fuyunzi and Shanyuezi decisively joined forces, launching continuous combined attacks to hold back the tide of defeat.
"The truly valuable treasures should all be in the transport officer's storage bag." Sun Lingtong looked at the battle raging in the high sky, still feeling very excited.
Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded slightly: "Then let's wait and see."
Storage bags, storage rings, storage belts, and the like possess different carrying capacities. Some are strong, some are weak.
The more treasures loaded inside, and the higher their grade, the more carrying capacity is consumed.
Therefore, in many cases, transport teams and merchant caravans are necessary.
Whether it is teleportation or high-grade storage equipment, the costs are all much higher.
The transport officer's storage bag contains the most precious military supplies. But the quantity is often small, because precious items are often of very high grade, so the amount that can be loaded is naturally scarce.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Die for me..."
"Take this move of mine..."
Slap, slap, slap!
"What a vicious spell..."
"Thief, cease your arrogance..."
Bang, bang, bang!
"Taste our 'Mountain Clouds Filling the Sky'!""Hmph, nothing more than that."
Sun and Ning hid underground to watch the show, finding it quite entertaining.
The three Nascent Soul cultivators of the Liangzhu Kingdom were already few in number and were gradually being overwhelmed.
As the transport officer parried left and right, the storage bag at his waist was swept, fell off, and landed right on the ground directly above the stone ball.
Chen Lingfeng lunged forward, wanting to get the storage bag into his hands.
But the next moment, mysterious light flickered, and the Old Monster Shi Zhong emerged, sucking the storage bag inside.
Chen Lingfeng let out a loud cry: "Senior Shi, this is going too far!"
Sun Lingtong nodded, his voice hoarse as he played the role of Old Monster Shi Zhong: "Indeed, it is excessive."
Chen Lingfeng was slightly stunned; just as a glimmer of hope had risen and he was about to continue persuading, Sun Lingtong said: "You have worked hard, continue to strive next time."
"I..." Chen Lingfeng almost blurted out a string of profanities.
No errors in the content, read it at a glance!
Immediately after, he watched helplessly as "Old Monster Shi Zhong" submerged into the soil and disappeared once again.
The storage bag had sealing methods on it and could not be opened for the time being.
Sun and Ning were very patient and were not in a hurry, instead continuing to observe this fierce battle.
Seeing that he had lost the military supplies, the transport officer felt a sharp pain in his heart and his fighting spirit dissipated. After urgent communication with Fuyunzi and Shanyuezi, he immediately began to retreat.
The ambushers from the Thousand Peaks Forest chased for a distance, but did not dare to pursue further.
In the first place, they were behind enemy lines, and enemies were everywhere here.
Thus, the second ambush battle ended.
"Quick, go find Old Monster Shi Zhong!"
"He is too excessive; almost all of our spoils were snatched away by him."
"We risked our lives to come here to intercept the transport team, only for it to benefit Old Monster Shi Zhong alone; I am so unwilling!"
"Hatred, I hate this!! I have finally seen through Old Monster Shi Zhong."
"This fellow is usually so silent; I didn't expect his true nature to be like this, it's so infuriating!"
The many Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators of the Thousand Peaks Forest had expressions that were incredibly poor.
Sun and Ning had already departed via earth-travel.
The military report of the transport team being attacked and looted clean was urgently delivered to Mulun Town.
Upon hearing the terrible news, Shuang Ling was initially incredulous: "How is this possible? This is impossible!"
"Of all things, such an important transport was ambushed by the enemy?"
"My mechanical pedestal, and my many precious materials!!!" Shuang Ling was filled with hatred and resentment, gnashing her teeth.
After gradually calming down, a sinister glint appeared in her eyes: "Hmph, Old Monster Shi Zhong! Since you took my things, as long as you are within the Liangzhu Kingdom, I will be able to find you!"
Shuang Ling took out a large number of mechanisms and set up a Dharma altar.
The mechanisms were structured, inlaid, and combined with each other to build a mechanical Dharma altar.
She immediately ascended the altar to perform the ritual.
One incense stick later, stars appeared in the daylight!
Divine ability ritual—Star Concealment Illumination.
Starlight shone, which would pinpoint the location and direction of the thief.
Failure!
Shuang Ling's expression changed drastically; she spat out a mouthful of blood, immediately knelt halfway on the ground, her spirit and energy simultaneously wilting.
"How is this possible?"
"Could it be that Old Monster Shi Zhong has already left the Liangzhu Kingdom?"
"Old Monster Shi Zhong" had already disintegrated, and Sun and Ning were riding the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, currently traversing the void.
Just as they were about to end this traversal and return to the real world, Sun Lingtong suddenly shouted: "Wait!"
Unlike Ning Zhuo was controlling the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, while he was studying the transport officer's storage bag, trying to find a way to break the anti-theft measures, when he suddenly saw the storage bag radiating starlight.
Sun Lingtong immediately reacted: "Someone is tracking and locating us!"
"We absolutely cannot go out now."
"Quick, Little Zhuo, let's continue traversing the void."
Sun Lingtong stopped Unlike Ning Zhuo in time.
Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart also skipped a beat, and he continued to control the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, drifting in the void.
During this process, Sun Lingtong frequently used theft techniques, applying them to the storage bag as well as the many precious materials and mechanical pedestals they had looted.
"It doesn't have much effect."
"What kind of method does the opponent have? It's actually so powerful!"
"No, it's that they tampered with these military supplies in advance, which is why they could be detected and explored."
After Sun Lingtong discerned the truth, he was also at a loss.
He was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and practiced the Boy's Art, which could not yet be considered a mainstream technique of the Empty Gate.
"Let's wander around a bit more; I don't believe this group will keep searching for us indefinitely."
Following Sun Lingtong's delaying tactics, Sun and Ning tried repeatedly, and finally waited until the starlight dissipated and no longer manifested.
They drifted in the void for a while longer, and after confirming that the starlight never reappeared, they finally exited the void and returned to the real world.
"Where is this?" Sun and Ning immediately identified their location.
"Bikong Mountain?" The two quickly figured out that they were in the Thousand Peaks Forest.
The exact location was Bikong Mountain.
"Where did the garrison here go?"
"Empty, not a soul!" Unlike Ning Zhuo was curious.
Sun Lingtong suddenly called out: "Right, right, Little Zhuo, let's hurry to the mountaintop and take a look. The Bikong Pool there produces empty crystals."
"With empty crystals, we can improve the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, which will greatly reduce our consumption when traversing the void."
Sun and Ning then carefully snuck to the mountaintop, and throughout the entire process, they did not discover a single enemy.
How strange!
The Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon dove into the Bikong Pool and saw a large area of empty crystals condensed at the bottom of the lake.
"The empty crystals here aren't considered large, and the vast majority haven't condensed into shape, so they can't be mined," Sun Lingtong said with disappointment.
Unlike Ning Zhuo had already reacted by this moment: "I think I probably know why it's like this here."
"Our four armies are attacking the Thousand Peaks Forest. I know the marching routes of the Three Generals Camp and the Red Flower Camp."
"Although I don't know those of the Savage Demon Camp and the Golden Halberd Army, I can make guesses based on existing intelligence."
"According to the location of Bikong Mountain, it is already considered quite deep into the Thousand Peaks Forest. It is very likely located on the marching route of one of the armies, so the garrison here withdrew in advance."
"The Savage Demon Camp's strength is greatly damaged, and it's impossible for them to reach this depth in a short time."
"Therefore, it is very likely the Golden Halberd Army!"
"This army is very likely about to arrive here."
Sun Lingtong listened to Unlike Ning Zhuo's analysis while observing the crystals at the bottom of the lake: "Little Zhuo, stop analyzing. Look at that patch of empty crystals; a small piece is already fully formed, we can dig and collect it."
"What a pity to miss this!"
