Chapter 517
When Ning Zhuo heard Song Ji's comments, his heart moved.
The first thing he thought of was not the Dice Bone Demon God, but the marrow of the void evil god.
The demon god was only at the Jin Dan level, but the void evil god marrow was at the Soul Transformation level.
"The marrow is the gain that cost me the most luck!"
"Before Bi Kong Mountain, I also played Old Monster Shi Zhong, robbed the Liangzhu Kingdom's transport team, and obtained countless military supplies. Up to now, that magic treasure level storage bag hasn't even been opened yet."
"There must be many good things!"
"Plus, I later used talismans to teleport to the Red Flower Camp, helping Mu Lan shoot Di Lu to death and scaring away the Pale Moon Ancient God. This war merit can also be considered my gain."
"Calculating this way, hiss..."
Ning Zhuo couldn't help but gasp secretly.
He was more and more shocked as he calculated this muddled account of luck.
This strong luck brought him too many benefits, and even after the fierce battle at Moon Hook Mountain, there was still a lot left.
"At the beginning, how massive must this luck have been!"
"Who on earth is so kind to secretly support me?"
"If there is a chance in the future, I will find him and definitely repay him."
Up to now, Ning Zhuo still didn't know the truth.
Song Ji's calculation also verified Ning Zhuo's previous guess.
"My luck is falling, this change must be kept in mind. If I am paralyzed and careless, and rely on strong luck, I will likely suffer a blow."
"Therefore, modesty and caution are the best strategies for walking the world and dealing with people."
"I must continue to maintain such good habits!"
Ning Zhuo secretly warned himself.
Du Du Tiechuan learned that Ning Zhuo's luck was like this, and put down some hidden worries in his heart.
He said lightly: "Offering Song, you take Ning Zhuo down and ask about the details of the enemy army."
Ning Zhuo heard this and immediately stood up and cupped his fists: "Commander Du. In this battle, I assisted General Mu Lan, killed one Nascent Soul, retreated one Nascent Soul, and obtained some war merits."
"Now, a great battle is imminent. If I could use my war merits to withdraw some rare elixirs in advance to help grow my physical foundation, I could also serve the army better!"
"Hmm?" Du Du Tiechuan looked up at Ning Zhuo, his eyes cold and displeased, "I have always been strict and fair in governing the army."
"According to military discipline, this is not the time to reward merits."
"Everyone in the army, including us and the soldiers, must strictly abide by it."
"This is no small matter! If I agree, it will undoubtedly corrupt the kingdom's system, damage military discipline, be unfair to other soldiers, shake military morale, weaken morale, and cause great harm."
Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly: "Commander, it's just withdrawing some elixirs to help grow the physical foundation."
"The commander might know something about my situation."
"According to your opinion, I only have the cultivation of the Qi Refining period. The risk of going to the battlefield is too great."
"If I could make my physical body advance by leaps and bounds in a short time, I would definitely be able to add a quasi-Nascent Soul level combat power to our army!"
Du Du Tiechuan shook his head slightly, his expression as cold as frost: "A mere quasi-Nascent Soul level, how much good effect can it have on the entire war situation?"
"Do not mention this again."
"Get out!"
Ning Zhuo had no choice but to salute: "Follow orders, I will take my leave."
Song Ji saluted and followed him out.
Du Du Tiechuan sent a spiritual sense message and communicated with him secretly, asking for details: "Who gave Ning Zhuo such strong luck? Can Offering Song calculate it?"
Song Ji replied secretly: "Very difficult."
"I am also very strange."
"According to common sense, the price paid by the person performing the technique for such a massive external luck blessing would be very significant."
"Who is willing to make such a sacrifice to support Ning Zhuo?"
"Even if he is a child of a big family and the most favored, he wouldn't be helped like this, right?"
"In addition, there is one more thing that is strange."
Du Du Tiechuan: "Hmm?"
Song Ji continued: "According to common sense, the external luck blessed by such means would be consumed very violently and could not last."
"But I just calculated and found that the luck on Ning Zhuo's body is not consumed so violently."
"There are even signs of being nourished recently."
Du Du Tiechuan asked: "Why is this?"
Song Ji shook his head: "Luck is a hidden study, and what I have learned is only the branches and leaves. The means to nourish external luck are strange and varied, and each has its own merits. I am also difficult to judge."
Du Du Tiechuan: "Then forget it."
"Next, I will trouble Offering Song to find out the enemy situation."
"I believe that with your means, if the Dice Bone Demon God or Ning Zhuo hides anything, you will notice it."
Song Ji took the order immediately, expressing that he would definitely do his best to execute this order.
Song Ji led Ning Zhuo to a tent alone.
Ning Zhuo released the Dice Bone Demon God: "Old Dice, you must tell everything you know. But if it involves your own safety, don't force yourself."
Ning Zhuo specifically took care of it.
The Dice Bone Demon God said: "Master, the old slave is not close to those people in Thousand Peaks Forest. Everything I know, I have already told you, Master."
Ning Zhuo nodded: "This time, you are here, just say it again in front of Offering Song."
Immediately, Ning Zhuo sent a spiritual sense message to Song Ji: "Trouble the adult to cast spells to detect, strictly prevent the Dice Bone Demon God from bringing false intelligence and misleading our army."
"To tell you the truth, I was able to subdue it by chance."
"Up to now, I am still a little worried."
Song Ji saw Ning Zhuo take the initiative to request, and didn't hide anything, and cast many calculation means in front of him.
About two sticks of incense later, Song Ji sent Ning Zhuo away.
Ning Zhuo didn't get the treasure elixir to raise his physical foundation from Du Du Tiechuan, and he wasn't disappointed.
After returning to the Three Generals Camp, he simply told the three generals about this situation.
The three generals were relieved.
Zhang Hei: "So, we muddled through?"
Generals Generals Guan Hong shook his head and said nothing.
Liu Er said: "Shen Shen Qinghe has also been secretly following us. It's just that we subdued the Dice Bone Demon God this time and returned victorious. For the sake of the overall situation, Commander Du didn't settle this account with us."
"According to my understanding of Du Du Tiechuan, this account will be settled sooner or later."
Ning Zhuo nodded, quite approving of Liu Er's analysis.
Among the three of Liu, Generals Generals Guan, and Zhang, Liu Er was the most outstanding in analyzing others.
Saying goodbye to the three generals, Ning Zhuo returned to his own tent, dived into the mechanism wandering dragon, and began to make mechanism puppets again.
Sun Sun Lingtong learned on the side, and gained a lot.
By the afternoon of the next day, Sun Sun Lingtong was able to operate one of the mechanism pedestals, helping Ning Zhuo save a lot of time and energy.
Ning Zhuo dived into the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat, borrowed the Heaven-Born Earth-Raised Fetal Breath magic restriction, was wrapped in heavy stone clothing, and began to raise his physical foundation.
By late night, he broke through the stone clothing and returned to freedom.
He raced against time, squeezed himself, and started the repair work on Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng and Meng Yechu without stopping.
These two Jin Dan level mechanism puppets, although split into many pieces, their spirituality was not damaged, and the difficulty of repair was not very great.
"Sure enough, the effect is excellent, Boss!" Ning Zhuo clenched his fists after the first cultivation ended, feeling unprecedented power brewing in his body.
Ning Zhuo sincerely praised Sun Sun Lingtong: "To be able to invent this cultivation method, Boss, you are truly a genius!"
Sun Sun Lingtong was praised and overjoyed, put his hands on his hips, and laughed out loud: "That's right, that's right. I am your boss, Xiao Zhuo."
After cultivating for several days like this, Commander Du issued a new military order.
He ordered the Red Flower Camp, the Three Generals Camp, and other armies to break camp and move outward by several miles.
Then, he ordered people to cancel the four city walls of Mu Lun Town, and with more than a dozen armies as a defensive line, began large-scale construction.
In the logistics army, many formation masters, refiners, and even individual mechanism masters collaborated to perform eighteen kinds of means.
Under the premise of sufficient resources, hundreds of cultivators built day and night, and soon built the base of a huge building.
Because Du Du Tiechuan did not forbid others from watching, this project attracted the attention of the whole army from the beginning.
No matter who it was, they were inevitably curious—what was the intention of such a grand and imposing project?
In the evening, Ning Zhuo also took time to go out, left the Three Generals Camp, and observed this building base.
He saw that the building base was square, broad on all four sides, and although it was only a base, it already looked imposing.
The base was paved with a large amount of Dragon Chant Stone.
Dragon patterns appeared and changed on the surface of these dragon chant stones. As long as you put your ears on the stones, you could hear faint dragon chants.
As the stones were stacked on each other, the larger the scale, the clearer and more imposing the dragon chants that outsiders could hear.
Guardrails were arranged around the base.
The guardrails were thick and heavy, made of Thunder Sky Iron, which itself was hard and could absorb and store thunder and lightning.
In the center of the base, a giant pillar was built.
A dragon soul pearl the size of a face was embedded at the top of the giant pillar. Ning Zhuo could see a dragon soul wandering and roaring in the pearl with his naked eyes.
"Dragon Chant Stone is the stone material of the dragon vein, which is obtained by sublimating its essence through long-term national power erosion. Therefore, it is also an excellent carrier for national power to be carried and exerted."
"The dragon soul in the dragon soul pearl was at least Soul Transformation level before death. Dragon souls are also the best at stirring up the power of the dragon vein."
"Looking like this, it seems to be an altar, to sacrifice a Soul Transformation level dragon soul?"
"As expected of the commander of the three armies, as soon as he makes a move, it is a big deal!"
Ning Zhuo sighed in his heart, returned to the tent, and continued to cultivate hard.
In just three days, his strength soared more than ten times, and his skin and flesh were hard and tough, as if Ning Zhuo had wrapped a layer of magic tool level leather armor all over his body.
He heard that the "altar" had been built by 60%, and various guesses and discussions in the army were noisy and extremely enthusiastic, so he took advantage of the rest time to look from afar.
The huge building had been built more than half, and the trapezoidal overall appearance could already be seen.
Dragon Chant Stone was still the main material used, starting from the base, and piled higher and higher.
At the foot of the building, cultivators began to pave a large amount of Glazed Golden Light Bricks on the surface of the Dragon Chant Stone. This kind of ceramic tile was often used in the royal palace, the brick was glazed, Dantian Shining with golden light, brilliant and gorgeous, containing majesty in wealth and nobility.
Ning Zhuo was puzzled by this: "Using Glazed Golden Light Bricks doesn't look like building an altar."
He also saw eight giant pillars built around the building. Each giant pillar was the same height, half the height of the dragon soul giant pillar in the center of the pedestal.
Each giant pillar was engraved with complex and gorgeous patterns. The top of the giant pillar was engraved with patterns of auspicious clouds and golden light roc birds.
Ning Zhuo narrowed his eyes and barely identified some talismans and the trend of the formation from the various patterns on the giant pillar.
"At least eight defensive talismans and twelve auxiliary talismans for coordinating formations."
"As for the formation... there is no way to peek at the whole picture, only seeing at least four layers of formations."
At this step, Ning Zhuo found that his formation foundation was completely insufficient.
His mentality was very peaceful.
"Although I have read many books, I am only at the level of the family school and the library open to the outside world by the family."
"Among the hundred arts of cultivation, formations are known for being complex, profound, and difficult to learn."
"I only learned some fur, and my accumulation in this area has just begun."
Although Ning Zhuo hadn't seen Du Du Tiechuan's plan, he had already made it clear that Du Du Tiechuan's moves were getting bigger and bigger.
He placed a heavy bet on this!
"What on earth is his intention?" Not only Ning Zhuo, but other generals were also guessing constantly.
Three days later.
This huge building that attracted the attention of the whole army was finally completed!
The trapezoidal high platform had a flat surface, with the dragon soul giant pillar in the center.
Around the high platform, there were heavy railings and eight auspicious cloud golden roc giant pillars guarding it.
The formation was activated, and the Glazed Golden Light ceramic tiles on the surface of the high platform were integrated, no longer divided. The dragon shadow projected from the dragon soul pearl swam on the golden bricks, its posture was strong, full of power and stretching feeling.
And as the dragon shadow swam, the surrounding soldiers could hear dragon chants echoing from the depths of their hearts.
If they concentrated, the dragon chant would sound magnificent and powerful. If their attention was elsewhere, the dragon chant was almost inaudible.
Two military flags were inserted on the high platform surface, on the left and right sides of the dragon soul giant pillar.
The military flags fluttered in the wind, the heavy formations coordinated and operated, and the whole building exuded majestic military power.
At this point, the answer was revealed, this was a—reviewing platform.
Dragon Shadow Nine Pillar Reviewing Platform!
On the day the reviewing platform was built, Du Du Tiechuan ordered the whole army to arrange a review.
On the second day after the reviewing platform was built, Du Du Tiechuan was fully armed, stood on the high platform, and operated the military strategy in the reviewing platform.
He carried his hands on his back, looked down from a high position, and watched one army after another surround the Dragon Shadow Nine Pillar Reviewing Platform and pass before his eyes.
The Three Generals Camp and the Red Flower Camp were among them.
Ning Zhuo, as the military advisor, rode a horse and was ranked on the side of the three generals Liu, Generals Generals Guan, and Zhang.
During the review process, he could clearly feel layers of invisible power sweeping over, and then stacking up layer by layer.
After the review, Ning Zhuo was covered in sweat, his muscles sore and weak.
In order to resist the stacking of heavy invisible power, he also tried his best to support.
"If it weren't for the fact that I recently fully promoted my physical cultivation, I'm afraid I would have fallen off the horse during this review and made a fool of myself in public."
While Ning Zhuo was fortunate, he also had more guesses about Du Du Tiechuan's intention through this personal experience.
Not only him, but many generals also guessed Du Du Tiechuan's idea.
"So that's it!"
"Commander Du is going to use his trump card."
"I didn't expect that the commander would exert all his strength before the great battle even started. I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Iron Flow Flat River! This move, how many years has Commander Du not used it?"
