Chapter 705: Thawing

~15 min read 2,891 words

Snow Pivot Imperial · Ning Ning Xie was still sensible and took the initiative to say hello.

Compared to this, Snow Color Lady · Hui was motionless, staring blankly at Ning Zhuo.

To be on the safe side, Ning Zhuo's "Human Life Hanging by a Thread" was hung on the heads of the two mechanism puppets.

He checked them and confirmed that both were in the spiritual growth period.

Ning Zhuo pondered: "Is it because the bodies like Floating Ice White Jade Hand and Weather Ball Ice Crystal Snow are too small, making it difficult for spirituality to have room to grow?"

Ning Zhuo guessed secretly.

Most of his understanding of spirituality comes from "On Spirituality".

Although this book is extremely valuable, the content is not much, limited to the exposition of the classification of spirituality.

"Maybe I should start from the Myriad Phenomena Sect to see if there is any method for spiritual nourishment?"

Ning Zhuo secretly remembered this point.

This is the benefit of joining a super sect. Many things cannot be bought on the market, but they are here.

Of course, the All-Books Pavilion should also have knowledge about spirituality. But Ning Zhuo is not a member of the pavilion, and the price paid to buy jade slips of this level as a customer will be much greater.

Furthermore, he is in the Myriad Phenomena Sect now, not in the All-Books Pavilion.

After a while.

In the cultivation room, Snow Color Lady · Hui and Snow Pivot Imperial · Ning Ning Xie stood opposite each other, and a huge ice block was placed between the two puppets.

There was an ape-like mechanism puppet in the ice block, which was Heavy Blood Ape Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng.

"Start." Ning Zhuo stood further away, arms crossed, watching from the sidelines.

Snow Pivot Imperial · Ning Ning Xie took the lead.

The ice beast head on her shoulder armor shot cold light and hit the ice block in the field hard.

Countless dark blue light networks quickly derived from the ice block, spreading everywhere, forming hexagonal properties in the ice block.

The hexagons spliced each other to form a three-dimensional grid.

Ning Zhuo knew clearly: the more such grids, the deeper Snow Pivot Imperial · Ning Ning Xie's control over the ice block.

The hexagonal grid is just a manifestation, the true source of power is Snow Pivot Imperial · Ning Ning Xie's talent—Snow Soul Ice Soul!

This talent will make the possessor's soul different from ordinary people, even if they don't practice soul cultivation, they can escape the soul from the physical body and master a certain amount of ice cold power.

If the soul is injured, it can also accelerate the self-healing of soul injuries with the help of ice and snow.

The drawback is that the soul foundation will become stronger and stronger, thereby pressing on the physical body. In the early stage, it may lead to perennial frostbite. This gap between the soul and the physical body will become more and more huge as the cultivator's cultivation increases.

So much so that in the middle and late stages, the cultivator's physical body will be frozen to death, leaving only the soul in the world.

Once you have the talent of Snow Soul Ice Soul, cultivators will eventually become ghost cultivators.

This is a lower-grade talent.

Most of the ice block freezing Heavy Blood Ape Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng was penetrated by the hexagonal grid.

But soon, Snow Pivot Imperial · Ning Ning Xie's power touched the limit—when the hexagonal grid was about to approach Heavy Blood Ape Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng's machine body, it stopped abruptly, no matter how she urged her talent, she couldn't touch Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng's machine body.

Snow Pivot Imperial · Ning Ning Xie began the next action.

The dark blue three-dimensional grid rose in brightness under the infusion of magic power.

Click, click...

In a series of crisp sounds, the ice block covered by the grid cracked. Then, countless ice chips, like hundreds of millions of tiny diamonds, flew out one after another.

The ice block freezing Heavy Blood Ape Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng was rapidly reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Snow Pivot Imperial · Ning Ning Xie went all out, the ice block freezing Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng only had a thin layer left.

But this layer was extremely difficult, no matter how Snow Pivot Imperial · Ning Ning Xie acted, it remained motionless and did not decrease at all.

Seeing this, Ning Zhuo decisively ordered Snow Color Lady · Hui to follow suit.

Three pairs of jade arms unfolded, the graceful female machine body floated slowly, the talent Ice Fat Jade Hand began to be cast, and the three-color enamel color armor emitted brilliant light.

The two mechanism puppets joined forces, and immediately produced a breakthrough.

A layer of thin ice on Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng's body melted rapidly like snow under the scorching sun.

The dark black Yin energy dispersed everywhere, and Ning Zhuo took action to collect it all, not letting it interfere with the subsequent thawing and rescue work.

Inside the mechanism of Heavy Blood Ape Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng, it was also frozen, filled with ice blocks.

The color of these ice blocks was darker, obviously containing more Yin-attribute power.

Snow Pivot Imperial · Ning Ning Xie and Snow Color Lady · Hui tried their best, but only dissolved a small part of the ice blocks, about thirty percent.

The remaining seventy percent still firmly occupied the original place, quite stubborn.

Divine Ability—Human Life Hanging by a Thread!

Ning Zhuo's eyes shone, showing a look of joy.

Unlike before, "Human Life Hanging by a Thread" could finally contact Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng's spirituality.

His spirituality shrank into a ball, also frozen, no matter how Ning Zhuo called, there was no response.

As for using "Human Life Hanging by a Thread" to extract it, it is even more impossible to think about.

Ning Zhuo sighed softly.

This is already the limit.

Being able to do this is already quite good.

After all, both mechanism puppets are Jin Dan-level materials and Jin Dan-level combat power, which is indeed not enough to deal with the means of a Nascent Soul-level powerhouse in a life-and-death battle.

Fortunately, this situation was also in Ning Zhuo's expectation.

He then ordered Snow Color Lady · Hui to continue casting Ice Fat Jade Hand.

But this time, Ice Fat Jade Hand did not thaw, but increased the ice blocks.

New ice blocks froze Heavy Blood Ape Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng, almost restoring the previous state. But this time, these ice blocks were hidden with vitality,

continuously bringing vitality and nourishment to Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng's spirituality.

Ning Zhuo observed carefully through "Human Life Hanging by a Thread" and determined that Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng's spirituality could barely be maintained, and then he put down the worry in his heart.

"Ice Fat Jade Hand and Snow Soul Ice Soul are talents, which are the prototypes of divine abilities."

"These two talents joined forces but could not completely thaw, so I have to find another way."

Ning Zhuo thought of many related methods at this time.

For example, using Nascent Soul-level materials to construct a new mechanism body, which can allow them to exert Nascent Soul-level combat power. It should be able to solve Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng's trouble.

But Ning Zhuo's mechanism art attainments cannot reach this level.

There are methods, but insufficient ability is Ning Zhuo's pain point.

Ning Zhuo took out Ghost Shadow Blade Night Tiger again and let the two mechanism puppets try to solve it.

The effect of this attempt was much worse than Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng.

It was mainly the problem of Ghost Shadow Blade Night Tiger, which was different from Heavy Blood Ape Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng. The latter was frozen, and the former was dusty.

Even if Ning Zhuo's "Human Life Hanging by a Thread" fell on Ghost Shadow Blade Night Tiger, he could not contact its spirituality.

In the end, Ning Zhuo had no choice but to order Snow Color Lady · Hui to freeze Ghost Shadow Blade Night Tiger in the ice block.

"I hope this sealing can also provide support for the Meng Night Tiger's spirituality!"

Ning Zhuo put away Fang Yuan Fang Yuan Yuan Dasheng and Meng Night Tiger and continued to cultivate.

In addition to the physical body, he was continuously comprehending the Demon Dyeing Blood Tendon Art. Currently, among the three dantians, the lower dantian of the essence sea dragged his feet, and the progress was the slowest.

Controlling Snow Color Lady · Hui and Snow Pivot Imperial · Ning Ning Xie also became one of Ning Zhuo's cultivation projects.

Ning Zhuo found that his control of these mechanism puppets could help the spirituality in them to control the body more skillfully.

At the same time, Ning Zhuo could also increase his understanding of mechanism puppets through this, laying a realistic foundation for the next improvement.

Ning Zhuo did not forget to make money.

He didn't have enough spirit stone reserves, and he was a little panicked in his heart.

As for how to make money, Ning Zhuo naturally had many ways. He chose the fastest way—vigorously selling Ghost Dao Jin Dan!

However, he did not choose to sell them in the Fangxiang Sect.

This is too ostentatious! It is also very easy to expose Ning Zhuo's strength and cause others to overestimate and value him.

After all, there is a Soul Transformation-level existence sitting in the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

The objects Ning Zhuo chose to sell the Ghost Dao Jin Dan to were his old friends.

For example, Zhu Zhu Zhu Xuanji of the South Bean Kingdom, the Myriad Medicine Sect, and the Mu General's Mansion and Three General Camps of the Two-Note Kingdom. As for the White Paper Xiancheng, it was not within the scope of transfer.

"Although the distance is far, it wins in secrecy."

"Although I cannot get away in the Myriad Phenomena Sect and have to be busy with other affairs, I can let the South Bean Kingdom and Two-Note Kingdom send people over to trade!"

Such a big deal, letting old friends play as merchants once, is completely fine!

"Trade with the South Bean Royal Family and the Myriad Medicine Sect, and bring the Spirit Hidden Willow by the way."

"It has been so long, this spiritual plant should have been raised well, right?"

South Bean Kingdom.

Zhu Zhu Zhu Xuanji was working on official business at his desk.

A knock on the door came.

"Come in." Zhu Zhu Zhu Xuanji didn't lift his eyelids and was still writing something.

The subordinate knelt on the ground, his voice hoarse like grinding gravel under the mask: "Report to the lord, the ambush was successful. Six of the seven invaders died and one was injured. After interrogating the captives, it was confirmed that they were cultivators of the Soul-Eating Sect."

As he spoke, the subordinate offered the waist token representing his identity and a jade slip with both hands.

Zhu Zhu Zhu Xuanji then slowly raised his head, reached out and beckoned, creating a suction force out of thin air, sucking the evidence waist token and jade slip onto the table.

Zhu Zhu Zhu Xuanji didn't look at the waist token, but picked up the jade slip and infused a part of his spiritual sense.

The jade slip recorded the images of the ambush.

In a nameless canyon, crossbow arrows shot like rain, tearing through the night, catching the Soul-Eating Sect cultivators off guard. After the first round of offensive, three people were seriously injured.

The Soul-Eating Sect cultivators' black robes fluttered, counterattacking like a group of bats.

Ning Jiufan took the lead, leading the Divine Catcher Division cultivators disguised as identities to fight fiercely. Because of full preparation, no one died in the end, and this Soul-Eating Sect cultivator squad was completely captured.

"Soul-Eating Sect..." Zhu Zhu Zhu Xuanji pointed at the table with his finger, still full of doubts.

He had always paid close attention to the Ning family of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng.

On the one hand, the Ning family and the South Bean Royal Family and the Myriad Medicine Sect were a secret alliance; on the other hand, if Zhu Zhu Zhu Xuanji didn't want Fire Persimmon Xiancheng and Lava Immortal Palace to fall into the hands of the Meng family, he had to rely on the Ning family to contend with the Meng family's progressive attitude.

Precisely because of close attention, Zhu Zhu Zhu Xuanji discovered earlier that someone had secretly sneaked in to inquire about the Ning family, Ning Zhuo, and related intelligence.

Zhu Zhu Zhu Xuanji first pressed without sending, then secretly investigated, and found that the force inquiring about the Ning family and Ning Zhuo's intelligence was one of the super forces, the Soul-Eating Sect.

"Han Ming and Qi Bai were both defeated by Ning Zhuo... but just these are not enough to make the Soul-Eating Sect move so much, right?"

"This time, the cultivator squad that wants to be unfavorable to the Ning family has five Jin Dan cultivators."

"Since they are inquiring about Ning Zhuo's news, I am afraid that our response-to-the-tribulation child has brought greater losses to the Soul-Eating Sect again!"

Zhu Zhu Zhu Xuanji thought of Ning Zhuo and couldn't help but slander: "This stinky boy, people are gone, and he still doesn't stop, letting me wipe his ass."

"Fortunately, he has already arrived at the White Paper Xiancheng, separated from my country by the North Wind Kingdom and the Two-Note Kingdom."

The intelligence channels of cultivation countries are naturally extremely extensive.

It is not strange that the South Bean Kingdom's intelligence tentacles reach the Yin Tide Black Wet Swamp.

Otherwise, Zhu Zhu Zhu Xuanji would not have given Ning Zhuo guidance—letting the latter find the funeral music ghost in the White Paper Xiancheng.

"Stinky boy, you owe me a favor this time." Zhu Zhu Zhu Xuanji thought of this and suddenly sneezed.

A trace of bad feeling arose in the bottom of his heart.

"Bah, why am I thinking about him? Better not think about him."

"Response-to-the-tribulation child—should stay away from him, the further away, the safer."

"There should be someone close in the Soul-Eating Sect, isn't this unlucky!"

Soul-Eating Sect.

Around the bone altar, soul mist lingered, surging continuously.

Flying letters circled outside the soul mist, not daring to go deep.

On the altar, Heaven Frost and Earth Ghost felt the flying letters and slowly closed their momentum. Both soul cultivators were full of fatigue.

Heaven Frost waved his sleeves, letting the soul mist disperse a blank path.

The flying letters followed this temporary passage and flew to the front of the Heaven and Earth Two Ghosts.

The two explored the letters with spiritual sense and their faces sank.

"What? A squad composed of five Jin Dan and two Foundation Establishment elites was completely wiped out?!"

"How is this possible?"

The two were shocked; this situation was unexpected.

They suffered a big loss from Ning Zhuo in the Thousand Peaks Forest battlefield of the Two-Note Kingdom.

The Heaven and Earth Two Ghosts didn't catch up with the second assembly battle. After regrouping, they started revenge actions.

But Ning Zhuo had already left the Two-Note Kingdom at that time.

Because he used the Myriad Mile Dragon to shuttle through the void, the Heaven and Earth Two Ghosts had just started, and they lost him.

For a period of time afterwards, they actively searched for intelligence and issued tasks within the Soul-Eating Sect, letting others participate in the search.

It was a pity that the Heaven and Earth Two Ghosts had never found Ning Zhuo.

This made Heaven Frost anxious!

In the previous battle, Heaven Frost suffered too much.

Not only did he give almost all his family wealth to Ning Zhuo, but he also lost all his face in front of his old partner, Earth Ghost.

What if you can't find Ning Zhuo?

After the Heaven and Earth Two Ghosts calculated, they thought of a way.

That is to return to the main mountain gate of the Soul-Eating Sect and use the bone altar there to divine the Heaven Frost Ghost Mask.

Once Ning Zhuo uses the Heaven Frost Ghost Mask, the divination can take effect, thereby exposing his accurate location.

The Heaven and Earth Two Ghosts guarded the bone altar, taking turns to preside, almost maintaining it day and night, paying a huge price.

But the Heaven Frost Ghost Mask had no news at all.

"This is impossible!"

"The Heaven Frost Ghost Mask possesses Nascent Soul-level combat power; this stinky boy Ning Zhuo can't always not use it, right?"

Holding this idea, the two maintained it for more than a month, exhausted to death.

The two who couldn't support it calculated and decided to offer a heavy reward, issue a task, and let fellow sect cultivators attack the Ning family, forcing Ning Zhuo to show up.

They didn't know that the South Bean Royal Family stood behind the Ning family.

The cultivator squad they had high hopes for was directly wiped out!
