Chapter 507: You Worked Hard

Xuanyuan Nine-Craft Platform!

Xuan: refers to the ancient carriage with a canopy or curtain, representing a noble and honorable status, symbolizing the power of heaven and long-distance travel.

Yuan: the two straight woods that drive the livestock in front of the carriage, representing the source of guidance and power.

And Nine Crafts represents nine types of craftsmanship.

The Xuanyuan Nine-Craft Platform is a mechanical pedestal that contains nine types of craftsmanship to manufacture mechanical carriage frames.

The entire pedestal is like a thick long strip, very simple, empty, and very different from most mechanical pedestals with strange shapes.

It combines wood and metal. The wood is selected from ancient money elm and blue sea agarwood, presenting natural textures and an ancient atmosphere. The metal uses Tai Bai 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, and some are thick, occupying one side alone.

The talismans radiate faint mysterious light, and change gradually with time.

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, really wonderful."

Ning Zhuo studied it carefully and found that the nine types of craftsmanship are fine carving, sky fire melting, folding forging, stardust inlay...

"It is biased toward fine processing."

What Ning Zhuo needs is to quickly build mechanical puppets, mass production or repair.

However, even if it is not very suitable, with this Xuanyuan Nine-Craft Platform, he can still increase his efficiency by more than ten times.

This degree of improvement is already quite considerable!

Ning Zhuo looked at the second mechanical pedestal again.

This pedestal looks like an ancient palace reduced in size, the shape is stable, 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 historical weight and the vicissitudes of time.

The beams and pillars in the palace are thick and round, skillful and clumsy, and are all rotating slowly.

Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense was infused, and he found that the interior of the palace-shaped mechanical pedestal was countless gears and grooves. The structure is extremely fine, with gears densely packed and layered.

"Mysterious Palace Gear Platform!" Ning Zhuo identified it quickly.

"Its main value depends on what the main gear is."

Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense continued to deepen, and soon he saw a huge gear, occupying the center, rotating slowly.

"Left and Right Stepping Wheels?"

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 very classic pair of mechanical accessories in mechanical craftsmanship.

There is a third mechanical pedestal.

This mechanical pedestal is cylindrical, like a big drum.

The drum surface is red lacquer, and the surface of the cylinder 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 bulging, and at a glance, he has a very strong sense of power.

"Giant Spirit Shaping Platform!" Ning Zhuo understood immediately.

This pedestal is very easy to identify.

Or rather, Ning Zhuo had long been coveting many pedestals. It's just that he could only look at them in books and secret records, hiding this love in his heart.

Although mechanical pedestals are not as expensive as alchemy furnaces, weapon refining furnaces, etc., they are not common in the market.

Ning Zhuo had been in Fire Persimmon Immortal City for more than ten years, and he hadn't seen many mechanical pedestals for sale.

There is actually an important reason for this, and that is that Fire Persimmon Immortal City is a new city. Since its construction, because of special reasons such as the Three Sects Shangren, it has been difficult to fully develop.

Now, although the Lava Immortal Palace has appeared, Fire Persimmon Immortal City 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 mechanical pedestals.

It is because it contains the Invite God Technique.

The one invited is the Giant Spirit God.

This type of god is always huge, strong, and possesses powerful power.

This Giant Spirit Shaping Platform is only at the Jin Dan level and can only invite one Giant Spirit God at a 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 heating, lubrication, burning, fixing, etc.

One Xuanyuan Nine-Craft Platform, one Mysterious Palace Gear Platform, one Giant Spirit Shaping Platform!

"One Nascent Soul level, two Jin Dan levels. Three mechanical pedestals in a row! Who is this for in the army?"

Ning Zhuo was suspicious while happy.

Facing this question, he thought of the Princess of Ingenuity Shuang Ling for the first time.

At the moment, in the Liangzhu Kingdom 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 and laughed like a thief, "Little Zhuo, these mechanical pedestals are probably that Shuang Ling's."

"This time we must make her look good!"

"She was so arrogant at the auction. It's not that it's not reported, it's just that the time hasn't come, hee hee hee! Now the time has come."

Ning Zhuo nodded and continued to cooperate with Sun Lingtong to control the stone ball.

"Old Monster of Shi Zhong" appeared everywhere on the battlefield, constantly taking action, letting the Thousand Peaks Forest and Liangzhu Kingdom fight fiercely, while he made a fortune.

Stones with the color of jade and dragon scale-like textures on the surface—Dragon Scale Stone.

The color presents a deep blue or black like the night sky, and if you shake it quickly in your hand, it will leave a shadow in the air—Night Shadow Copper.

Wood with bloodstains intertwined like pythons on the surface—Python Pattern Blood Fir.

Spirit liquid with green on the upper part and blue on the lower part—Blue Sea Blue Sky.

Four-fingered bird claws that are like copper casting and extremely hard—Dead Dove Claw.

After stealing a lot, Ning Zhuo gradually realized something.

"These pedestals and treasures seem to be a set, and can refine some kind of mechanical creation..."

"Old Monster of 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

A large-scale rout occurred.

This caused the Nascent Soul cultivators of the two kingdoms to lose their military support, and their combat power immediately slipped a notch.

Fuyunzi and Shanyuezi decisively joined forces, launching continuous combined attacks to stem the tide of defeat.

"The truly valuable treasures must all be in the transport officer's storage bag." Sun Lingtong looked at the battle group fighting in the high sky, still very excited.

Ning Zhuo nodded slightly: "Then let's wait and see."

Storage bags, storage rings, storage belts, and so on, all possess different carrying capacities. Some are strong, some are weak.

The more treasures packed 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 most precious military supplies are in the transport officer's storage bag. 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, don't be rampant..."

Bang, bang, bang!

"Taste our Mountain Clouds Filling the Sky!" "Hmph, nothing more than that."

Sun and Ning, the two of them, huddled underground to watch the show, watching with great relish.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators of the two kingdoms were already few in number and gradually became outmatched.

As the transport officer was blocking left and right, the storage bag at his waist was swept, fell off, and smashed onto 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 shouted: "Senior Shi, this is going too far!"

Sun Lingtong nodded, his voice hoarse, playing the role of the old monster Shi Zhong: "Indeed, it is too far."

Chen Lingfeng was slightly stunned; just as a glimmer of hope had arisen and he was about to continue persuading, the next moment, Sun Lingtong said: "You have worked hard, keep up the effort next time."

"I..." Chen Lingfeng almost cursed out loud.

【System Note: No errors in the content, keep reading!】

Immediately, he watched helplessly as the "old monster Shi Zhong" sank into the soil and disappeared again.

There were sealing measures on the storage bag, so it could not be opened for the time being.

Sun and Ning were very patient and 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 Thousand Peaks Forest chased for a distance, but did not dare to pursue further.

In reality, they were behind the enemy lines, and enemies were everywhere here.

With this, the second ambush battle ended.

"Quick, go find the old monster Shi Zhong!"

"He is too much; almost all our spoils were snatched away by him."

"We risked our lives to come here to intercept the transport team, but in the end, it only benefited the old monster Shi Zhong alone; I am so unwilling!"

"Hate, I hate it so much!! I have finally seen through the old monster Shi Zhong."

"This fellow is usually very 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 Thousand Peaks Forest all had extremely poor expressions.

Sun and Ning had already left via earth-travel.

The military report that the transport team had been attacked and looted clean was urgently delivered to Mulin Town.

Upon hearing the bad news, Shuang Ling was initially incredulous: "How is this possible? This is impossible!"

"How could such an important transport be ambushed by the enemy?"

"My mechanism pedestal, and my many precious materials!!!" Shuang Ling was filled with hatred and resentment, gritting her teeth.

After gradually calming down, she revealed a sinister glint in her eyes: "Hmph, old monster Shi Zhong! You took my things; as long as you are within the two kingdoms, I will be able to find you!"

Shuang Ling took out a large number of mechanisms and set up a magic altar.

The mechanisms were structured, inlaid, and combined with each other to build a mechanism magic altar.

She immediately ascended the altar to perform magic.

After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the stars appeared in broad daylight!

Divine ability magic — Starry Concealment.

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, and immediately knelt on the ground, her spirit and energy simultaneously wilting.

"How is this possible?"

"Could it be that the old monster Shi Zhong has already left the two kingdoms?"

The "old monster Shi Zhong" had already disintegrated, and Sun and Ning were riding the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, shuttling through the void.

Just as they were about to end this shuttle and return to the present world, Sun Lingtong suddenly shouted: "Wait!"

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 shuttling through the void."

Sun Lingtong stopped Ning Zhuo in time.

Ning Zhuo's heart also jumped, and he continued to control the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, drifting in the void.

During this process, Sun Lingtong frequently used theft techniques, adding them to the storage bag, as well as the many precious materials and mechanism pedestals that had been looted.

"It's not having much effect."

"What kind of means does the other party have? It's actually so powerful!"

"No, it's that they did something to these military supplies in advance, which is why they can be detected and explored."

After Sun Lingtong identified the truth, he was also at a loss.

He was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and he was practicing the Boy's Technique, which could not be considered the mainstream cultivation method of the Unoccupied Gate.

"Let's wander around a bit more; I don't believe these people will keep searching for us forever."

Following Sun Lingtong's delaying tactics, the two of them 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 left the void and returned to the present world.

"Where is this?" The two of them immediately identified their location.

"Bikong Mountain?" The two soon 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!" Ning Zhuo was curious.

Sun Lingtong suddenly shouted: "Right, right, Little Zhuo, let's go to the top of the mountain and see. The Bikong Pool there produces empty crystals."

"With empty crystals, we can improve the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, so that our consumption will be greatly reduced when we shuttle through the void."

Sun and Ning then carefully sneaked to the top of the mountain, and during the whole process, they did not find a single enemy.

How strange!

The Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon dived into the Bikong Pool and saw a large area of empty crystals condensed at the bottom of the lake.

"The empty crystals here are not large, and the vast majority have not condensed into shape, so they cannot be mined," Sun Lingtong said disappointedly.

Ning Zhuo had already reacted at this moment: "I think I probably know why it's like this here."

"Our four armies are attacking Thousand Peaks Forest. I know the marching routes of the Three Generals Camp and the Red Flower Camp."

"Although I don't know the routes of the Savage Demon Camp and the Golden Halberd Army, I can guess based on existing intelligence."

"According to the location of Bikong Mountain, it is already considered quite deep into Thousand Peaks Forest. It is very likely located on the marching route of a certain army, so the garrison here withdrew in advance."

"The Savage Demon Camp's strength is greatly damaged, and it is impossible to reach this depth in a short time."

"So, it is very likely the Golden Halberd Army!"

"This army is very likely about to arrive here."

Sun Lingtong listened to 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 fully formed, we can dig and collect it."

"What a pity to miss this!"
