Chapter 523

"Chen Zhi..." Including Ning Zhuo, everyone remembered this name.

Obviously, this was a talent who had stood out after multiple rounds of battle elimination and selection.

Liu Er immediately led Chen Zhi to the side to talk in detail.

Leaving Generals Guan, Zhang, and Ning to look after the other soldiers.

Generals Guan Hong stroked his beard, his divine sense expressing his worry: "These thirty-plus people are the elite among the elite in my Three Generals Camp, and they were gathered together; they can be considered the top seedlings."

"Whether it is cultivation, combat power, or their own willpower, they are all outstanding people."

"Even so, it is so difficult for them to practice the Iron Skin Meat Armor Technique."

"If it weren't for our help, at least ten people would have failed halfway, suffered backlash, and been seriously injured or even died."

Zhang Hei also rarely showed a grave expression: "Judging from this situation, it is even harder for others to succeed."

"Damn it! Clearly we already have enough heavy armor, but the result is that so few people can practice it!"

"Hmm? Military Advisor, you still have the mood to laugh?"

Generals Guan Hong's heart moved, his divine sense: "It seems the Military Advisor has already thought of a solution?"

Ning Zhuo denied: "For the time being, I can't think of any solution."

Zhang Hei stared: "Sigh, the Military Advisor is laughing foolishly for no reason, that won't do!"

Ning Zhuo changed the subject: "Although I have no solution, it doesn't mean others don't have a way."

Zhang Hei was a bit anxious: "Who else? Oh, Military Advisor, at this point, don't keep us in suspense!"

Ning Zhuo then pointed toward the direction of Mulin Town: "I believe Commander Du Tiechuan must have a method."

"I don't know much about the Iron Skin Meat Armor Technique, but I have already figured out some of Commander Du's character and temperament."

Sure enough.

That evening, new news came from the quartermaster's office.

The quartermaster's office launched a variety of elixirs, talismans, and even formation disks; these things were excellent auxiliary supplies that could greatly help soldiers practice the Iron Skin Meat Armor Technique, improving efficiency and success rates.

Zhang Hei immediately exclaimed: "The Military Advisor's calculation is divine!"

Ning Zhuo shook his head: "It's still Commander Du's methods that are thorough and continuous."

Having experienced this event, Ning Zhuo also gained knowledge.

Although he had not seen Du Tiechuan fighting or the scene of him casting military strategy with his own eyes, from this series of methods by Commander Du, Ning Zhuo could already glimpse the latter's military style!

While the entire army was competing to practice the Iron Skin Meat Armor Technique, Ning Zhuo also quietly left the military camp, went to a deserted mountain valley, and began to practice the Five Viscera Temple Spirit God Technique.

"Boss, I'm going to start." Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged on the ground with a solemn look on his face.

When it comes to the most dangerous part of this divine technique, it is none other than the Fire Element Heart Temple that Ning Zhuo is about to perform.

Sun Lingtong immediately sent a message: "Don't worry, I'm watching."

Ning Zhuo heard Sun Lingtong's voice, his mood greatly relaxed, knowing that the most reliable person in the world was by his side.

Ning Zhuo took a deep breath and took out a dagger, scraping toward his heart.

After the dagger pierced in an inch, it stopped abruptly.

Ning Zhuo only felt a slight stinging pain, and the blood at the wound was only a few wisps, and then it stopped bleeding on its own.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

"I used the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat to increase my physical foundation, and now my own defensive power is no longer what it used to be."

It was mainly because too many things had happened during this period.

Ning Zhuo had to manufacture a large number of mechanical puppets, repair Yuan Yuan Dasheng and Meng Meng Ye Hu, and also look after the Three Generals Camp and Red Flower Camp, help them buy heavy armor, and so on.

Ning Zhuo had not practiced with the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat for many days.

The key is that this cultivation method is worthy of Sun Lingtong's genius idea. It extremely squeezes the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat itself, uses various conditions that are difficult to replicate, and possesses excellent cultivation efficiency.

Ning Zhuo's physical foundation climbed rapidly, so much so that he hadn't adapted to it yet.

And there was also the fact that the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence was suddenly sent to his hands, and he didn't think too much about the relevant cultivation matters.

So much so that a mistake occurred in this minor detail.

"Boss, my dagger is not very good. Lend me yours to use." Ning Zhuo asked for help.

Sun Lingtong: "Oh, no problem."

"No, no, no, it won't work!"

"In order to deal with the great battle, I have already smeared poison on my daggers and other knives."

"This poison almost all comes from that guy Yang Chanyu."

Cold sweat almost broke out on Ning Zhuo's forehead.

Yang Chanyu's poison was very powerful, and Ning Zhuo didn't want to take the risk.

There was no other way, so Ning Zhuo had to temporarily suspend his cultivation, borrow the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, and return to the vicinity of Mulin Town.

He found Mu Lan on the drill ground and said straight out that he needed help.

Mu Lan was training soldiers, and seeing Ning Zhuo come to ask for help, she immediately let the soldiers rest on the spot and rushed to Ning Zhuo's side herself.

This behavior immediately sparked widespread discussion among the soldiers.

"Look there, look there quickly! That is the General's husband."

"White clothes like snow, truly a talent."

"Hmph, just a pretty boy, how can he be worthy of our General?"

"I don't think so. Just the fact that he dares to marry our General shows his courage."

"Hiss... that's true."

"Don't underestimate Young Master Ning Zhuo. In the previous Battle of Yuegou Mountain, if he hadn't arrived in time, the result of that battle would have been hard to say."

The soldiers were all watching the fun and discussing.

Several female Golden Core deputy generals of the Red Flower Camp were also gossiping.

"Up to now, only Young Master Ning Zhuo could immediately call a halt to the training and call the General to the side, right?"

"Is there any urgent matter?"

"Look quickly, the General has even stuffed her personal golden knife to Young Master Ning Zhuo."

"This golden knife is extremely sharp and is the General's most personal item. It seems the rumors are false, saying that the General and Young Master Ning Zhuo are just an interest alliance. Now it seems that there has long been hidden affection between the two."

The main purpose of this personal golden knife is for female cultivators to prevent themselves from being humiliated in desperate situations, or to fight to the death, or to commit suicide.

It can be considered the General's last trump card, so it is kept personally and has extraordinary significance.

Mu Lan and Ning Zhuo didn't talk for long before she turned back to continue training.

Ning Zhuo held the golden knife, moved away from Mulin Town, and went to another deserted mountain valley to continue the cultivation just now.

Mu Lan's golden knife was not poisoned, and Ning Zhuo dug a hole in his chest, cut off the meridians near his heart, and dug out his own heart.

At the same time, he activated the Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Technique, condensing a mass of blood tendons in the empty space of the heart to temporarily replace the heart's work.

Ning Zhuo took a deep breath; the cold, empty feeling in his chest made him feel very insecure.

He threw it lightly, throwing his heart into mid-air.

Divine sense captured the object.

The heart floated in the air and did not fall to the ground.

Ning Zhuo began to activate the Five Viscera Temple Spirit God Technique.

The spell formed a mass of blood-colored radiance, covering the heart and refining it slowly.

In the rich blood light, a crimson color gradually radiated. This is because among the five viscera and six entrails, the heart belongs to the fire element, and the fire element radiates red light.

At the same time, Sun Lingtong also performed the Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Resolving Sutra, igniting a large fire.

Ning Zhuo threw the medicine bottle directly into the fire and unsealed it.

The sealed Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence had just rushed out of the bottle mouth when it was tragically cremated.

It felt very puzzled.

Clearly, it was Fire Essence, yet it couldn't merge into this flame, and was even burned and melted.

In order to survive, it hurriedly drilled back into the medicine bottle.

As a result, Ning Zhuo detonated the medicine bottle the next moment, letting the pitiful Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence be exposed to the sea of fire again.

The Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence rushed left and right, but was blocked by the combined efforts of Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo. Soon, it was burned beyond recognition, like a candle that had been burned halfway.

The Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence realized that it was about to perish and fell into a state of hysteria, frantically trying to break out.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong looked cold, intercepting it every time.

Finally, the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence was completely refined, turning into a mass of crimson spirituality.

Ning Zhuo's heart fell into the sea of fire and merged with the spirituality of the Fire Essence.

Ning Zhuo constantly activated the Five Viscera Temple Spirit God Technique, gradually refining the merged spirituality into a mass of light.

In the light ball, it was all fiery red, and a blurry temple could be vaguely seen.

"Refined!" Ning Zhuo showed a little joy, captured the Fire Element Heart Temple with divine sense, and dropped it into his chest.

The blood tendons that temporarily acted as the heart automatically retreated, leaving the position empty.

The Heart Temple fell into its original place, turned into a heart again, and automatically connected with the surrounding heart meridians.

"Thump, thump, thump."

The heart beat, bursting out heart meridians again, providing the source power for the blood circulation of Ning Zhuo's body.

Sun Lingtong no longer maintained the Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Resolving Sutra and immediately performed a healing spell to heal Ning Zhuo.

The injury on Ning Zhuo's chest healed quickly under Sun Lingtong's full effort.

Ning Zhuo infused divine sense, reaching the heart.

In a trance, he fell into a temple, sat on the god's throne, and became the Fire God statue worshipped in the temple.

From outside the temple, a large amount of blood came rolling in like a long river, washing the bottom of the Fire God Temple.

Ning Zhuo tried to mobilize the power of the Fire God Temple, gradually increasing the intensity.

The Fire God Temple began to radiate burning light, heat, and full vitality, suddenly heating the blood river, and then boiling it until it evaporated.

Thus, a large amount of blood energy rushed up like a waterfall, rushing straight into the sky from the bottom of the Fire God Temple.

And Ning Zhuo's physical body immediately surged with blood energy; his whole person was like a lobster, his breathing became rough, he was sweating profusely, and his life aura was surging upward, constantly rising and rising!

Ning Zhuo felt that his physical strength and power had greatly increased, and even his thinking speed had more than doubled.

The function of the heart is blood circulation; increasing the blood vessels and making them fierce and surging can improve the cultivator's ability from the inside out, making the cultivator full of vitality and surging.

However, when Ning Zhuo stopped the power of the Fire God Temple, he immediately felt intense fatigue covering his whole body.

"The state just now cannot last long; it was an explosive burst of the foundation in the body beyond the limit."

Ning Zhuo immediately felt a burst of hunger.

Ravenous!

He hurriedly took out spirit food, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed several large mouthfuls fiercely.

The swallowed spirit food was quickly digested by him.

Ning Zhuo's heart moved, and this time he infused his divine sense into the Earth Element Spleen Temple.

He became the god statue in the Earth God Temple, presiding over the absorption and digestion of external substances. And the few impurities in the spirit food were also accepted into the god temple, constantly accumulating, just like the earth collecting everything, forming the accumulation of the Earth Element Spleen Temple itself.

After a long time, this accumulation will one day undergo a qualitative change, turning waste into treasure.

"The Fire Temple intensifies consumption, while the Earth Temple helps absorption. Each is responsible for one end and can cooperate."

"In the future, when the Water Temple, Gold Temple, and Wood Temple are built, the five elements can be combined to form a complete mysterious cycle."

Ning Zhuo's thoughts were romantic, and he couldn't help but imagine a beautiful future.

Thousand Peaks Forest.

Dragon King Giant Pillar Mountain.

The conference hall was full of people, and the atmosphere was heavy.

Ever since Du Tiechuan built the Dragon Shadow Nine Pillars Reviewing Stand, some cultivators in the conference hall had suggested attacking Mulin Town directly.

But this claim was rejected by Lu Lu Hongtu.

So much so that when Du Tiechuan's tactical purpose was exposed, the cultivators' blame for Lu Lu Hongtu surged rapidly.

Now, some cultivators proposed this suggestion again: "This is the last chance! The power of the Iron Flow Pingchuan military strategy has long been spread, and everyone knows what kind of power this is!"

"Fortunately, Du Tiechuan's subordinates are all new troops, newly recruited, so their training is insufficient and they need time to prepare."

"This is a huge flaw left by the enemy and a victory opportunity bestowed by heaven."

"But what are we doing now? We are actually sitting idly by, letting the enemy organize themselves calmly, and ultimately letting the military strategy be successfully cast?!"

These words immediately aroused the approval of many people.

For a time, the sound of agreement was clamorous, filling the hall.

The eyes of these cultivators were almost all focused on Lu Lu Hongtu.

Lu Lu Hongtu looked cold: "Hmph, I still say the same thing. You all underestimate Du Tiechuan too much."

"Looking at his previous battles, he is thorough and rigorous, and under his slow arrangement, he always leaves no room for both sides to cast, forcing them to act according to his arrangements."

"If we raise an army and abandon the great geographical advantage of the Thousand Peaks Forest, it is abandoning our strengths to attack his weaknesses, plunging headlong into the enemy's ambush circle, which is extremely unwise!"

Lu Lu Hongtu also had supporters, although the number was small, they spoke one after another after Lu Lu Hongtu spoke.

For a time, the sound of quarreling and cursing filled the entire hall.

"Sigh!" Lu Lu Hongtu sighed deeply in his heart, knowing that this meeting would also end in quarreling like before, without any results.

"The disadvantage of the alliance is just like this. Only a few people can truly decide this war." Lu Lu Hongtu left a clone phantom and quietly left to visit Long Ye.

Long Ye was entertaining guests, and upon learning of Lu Lu Hongtu's visit, he immediately dispatched servants to lead the latter into the secret room.

Lu Lu Hongtu entered the room and saw Long Ye entertaining two ghost cultivators.

One ghost cultivator was dressed in white, with red eyes and water vapor lingering. The other was colored like a coal ball, and with his breathing, faint crimson fire energy radiated from the cracks in his body.

Long Ye saw Lu Lu Hongtu arrive and smiled and introduced: "The two of you, this is our General Military Advisor, the Sect Master of the Six Caves Sect, Lu Lu Hongtu! These days, it has been hard for him to preside over the meeting."

"Lu Hongtu, these two are from the Soul-Devouring Sect, named Tian Shuang and Di Hui."

Lu Lu Hongtu was shocked in his heart and performed a one-handed Taoist salute: "So it is the Heaven and Earth Twin Ghosts, long admired, long admired."

The white-clothed ghost cultivator Tian Shuang nodded slightly: "The two of us have taken on two sect missions this time; one is to help you, and the other is to capture one person alive, a kid named Ning Zhuo."
