Chapter 59: Receiving rewards, giving in
Ning Zhuo stood in front of the five-sided stone pillar, touched the pillar surface with his palm, and immediately received the message.
He was receiving the rewards for being ranked first on the Qi Refining Leaderboard, Speed-Run Leaderboard, and Progress Leaderboard!
The rewards were still the old three items: spirit stones, mechanism components, and spells, requiring Ning Zhuo to choose one.
"The spirit stone item in the rewards actually has one hundred!" Ning Zhuo's heart shook slightly.
His most clearance rewards so far were only ten spirit stones.
One hundred spirit stones, a full ten times!
Ning Zhuo decided immediately to take the spirit stone reward at least once.
He had taken many things from the preparation room to use in order to arrange mechanisms before. The Buddha Heart Demon Seal could not make them free; these were all charged.
As he arranged more and more mechanism traps, Ning Zhuo's spirit stones were no longer enough.
Suddenly having one hundred spirit stones, Ning Zhuo basically had no worries.
There were more than a dozen options for mechanism components, from which Ning Zhuo saw the hanging ring, return-force silk, small flying box, etc.
There were also old faces in the spells, such as Ice-Holding Spell, Fire-Holding Spell, Wood-Connecting Spell.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was also observing Ning Zhuo. Seeing the latter standing in front of the leaderboard and thinking, the fire spirit couldn't help but show nervousness.
Ning Zhuo didn't even think about it and started sensing the Buddha Heart Demon Seal.
As a result, he regretfully found that he could not choose more for the leaderboard rewards and could only choose one.
Seeing Ning Zhuo's failed attempt, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit hummed, still looking nervous.
"Strange." Ning Zhuo felt a trace of suspicion.
"A bit strange."
The youth was very good at finding problems from details.
"Each leaderboard reward is actually the same, letting me choose one of three."
"But the value of these three options is not equal."
"The spirit stone option is as high as one hundred, while the other two options are still the same as the previous clearance rewards."
"Most of these rewards I have used, and I basically have the spells."
"The Three Sects Master should not have such a mistake... that is to say, the value of the other two rewards is actually far beyond the surface manifestation."
"Try them all!"
Ning Zhuo had a result after thinking.
He had three opportunities to receive rewards, so he chose each option once.
One hundred spirit stones, authentic.
For mechanism components, he chose the hanging ring.
Finally, for the spell item, Ning Zhuo chose a spell he hadn't mastered—Gold-Picking Spell.
The next moment, the spell information was transmitted to his heart.
Ning Zhuo was moved!
The Gold-Picking Spell is a spell that can absorb metal and condense it between fingers.
This was of course not enough to make Ning Zhuo's heart surge.
More critically, along with the spell information, there were many cultivation insights.
Although Ning Zhuo had just obtained the Gold-Picking Spell, because of these cultivation insights, he instantly became a person who had practiced the Gold-Picking Spell for two and a half years!
"Method of empowerment? Infusing the cultivation experience of predecessors into descendants?"
"Amazing, truly amazing."
"With this, I can save too much time and energy."
Ning Zhuo was secretly happy.
His background could not compare with Meng Chong and others, and now he had to rely on leaderboard rewards to eliminate some of the opponent's advantages.
After testing the spell reward option, Ning Zhuo checked the mechanism component hanging ring again.
But he found that there was not much difference from the previous clearance rewards.
However, Ning Zhuo already had new speculations about this, just waiting for verification in the future.
When the time limit arrived, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit couldn't wait to pull Meng Chong into the Immortal Palace.
In the door reward, this time Meng Chong chose mechanism components.
He stared at the hanging ring in his hand and was very puzzled: "How to use this thing?"
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit gritted its teeth and conveyed the message, telling Meng Chong the usage method and even the mechanism blueprint.
In an instant, two fire whips condensed in the main hall and whipped the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit fiercely!
Slap slap slap.
For a time, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit clenched its dragon claws, gritted its teeth to endure the whipping, and its body trembled in pain, its face distorted.
Meng Chong got the message and suddenly realized: "So that's how it's used."
He frowned again; he didn't like this kind of small gadget in his bones, he preferred to rush over directly.
This time, he opened the door a crack.
After thinking about it, he held the hanging ring and shot a blue-purple diamond in one direction.
The diamond quickly merged with the wall and poured into one.
Meng Chong manipulated the hanging ring, and the slender rope immediately tightened.
"Use the rope to accelerate, and rush over in one go!" Meng Chong sensed himself and activated the superior talent Galloping Thunder.
The next moment, electric light flickered all over his body.
When the thin rope retracted, he pushed the door with all his strength and ran with all his might.
With a slap, the electric light shone violently!
His speed exploded to the highest point in an instant.
He almost looked like a flash of lightning, about to tear the air and fly away.
But the next moment, a huge fishing net turned out from under the floor tiles, covering Meng Chong firmly.
Every silk thread of the fishing net used return-force silk! This gave the fishing net extremely strong extensibility and toughness.
The fishing net was pulled very long, like a stretched bowstring.
Meng Chong's speed plummeted, and within a few breaths, the momentum was completely exhausted.
He was like a bullet, shot back fiercely by the retracting fishing net!
Slap.
With a crisp sound, he hit the closed door.
On the spot, he fell apart.
Bang.
The next moment, a huge heavy hammer platform smashed down from above.
Meng Chong... was smashed.
Meng Chong, who regained his soul, screamed ah ah ah in anger.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit also slapped its palm suddenly, showing an angry expression.
Dungeon.
Han Ming raised her head slowly, looking at the young guest who appeared again. She was haggard, numb, and seemed about to shatter.
How many times had her soul essence been extracted?
She couldn't remember.
Because several times, she was in a state of fainting.
She no longer cursed or scolded Ning Zhuo; on the one hand, she had no strength, her physical state was too poor, and on the other hand, she completely recognized reality.
Reality was so cruel that it dispelled the arrogance in her heart, and she began to rack her brains to think about how to survive.
"No, don't manipulate me anymore; I'll help you."
"I'll take the initiative to absorb soul essence and pass it on to you."
The young guest Ning Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "You finally figured it out, Han Ming, this is very good. I am happy for you."
Han Ming felt anger again in her heart, but she endured it: "Please give me the Soul-Sucking Shuttle, and loosen the seal on the chain a little."
Ning Zhuo smiled: "Don't be busy, eat something first."
He commanded more than a dozen small puppets to come and feed Han Ming. Some sat on her shoulders, holding long spoons to feed Han Ming soup. Some stepped on Han Ming's chest, holding chicken legs, pig's trotters, etc. high. Some held a chopstick in both hands, working in pairs to clip vegetables for Han Ming to eat.
Han Ming finished a sumptuous meal, and there were small puppets holding handkerchiefs high, hanging down from Han Ming's head along her hair, hanging to Han Ming's mouth, working at high altitude to wipe Han Ming's corners of her mouth.
Finally, three small puppets held different melons and fruits and fed them to Han Ming as dessert after the meal.
