Next was Qing Chi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again was Gongsun Yan, then Chef Lao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Gongsun Yan had requests of Ning Zhuo, and this natural trust foundation was far more than Chef Lao’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trust level of Chef Lao and Wen Ruanyu was about the same. The former was a temperament of knowing gratitude and repaying it, while the latter worshipped Meng Yaoyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo put Snow Color Girl · Hui in the cultivation room and let her continue to practice talisman making.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time she made a talisman, even without a competitor, as long as she succeeded, she would have proud emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo had already determined that as long as there was no strong interference from the outside world, as long as a mechanism puppet like Snow Color Girl · Hui learned to make a certain talisman, the success rate of subsequent talisman making would be one hundred percent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what she makes are actually low-grade talismans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is still huge room for improvement in this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talisman making is like alchemy, with grades. Cultivators with deep talisman-making skills have a much higher success rate of making high-grade talismans than ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow Color Girl · Hui exposed the weakness of the mechanism puppet in this regard—currently, she can only guarantee the lowest limit, which is only being able to make low-grade talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was not anxious: \"Making talismans is also an understanding of spells and so on. For example, I only make five-element talismans, as long as the proficiency is enough, there is a high probability of making high-grade talismans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, limited to Foundation Establishment-level talismans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Jin Dan-level talismans can also be made, Ning Zhuo is limited by his cultivation, and the success rate is not high, and most of what is made is of low-grade quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this also has to do with his talisman-making skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the skills are improved, the quality and success rate of cross-level talisman making will also rise significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For cultivators who have mastered master-level skills, cross-level making is just ordinary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arranging Snow Color Girl · Hui, Ning Zhuo took out Snow Pivot Imperial · Xie to look at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Ability—Human Life Suspension Thread!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo immediately confirmed: Snow Pivot Imperial · Xie had not reached the Spirit Movement stage. And from his feeling, there was still a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo couldn't help but compare Yuan Dasheng and had some guesses: \"The progress of spirituality seems to be related to talent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuan Dasheng possesses the immortal bone 'Firm Gold,' so when he was in the Spirit Movement stage, his emotions were the most fierce, and the time spent passing through was shorter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ning Xiaohui is the upper-grade talent 'Ice Fat Jade Hand,' so after entering the mechanism body, she quickly reached the Spirit Movement stage. The emotions were not very fierce, and it took a period of time to express, which is relatively stable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ning Xie’s talent is only the lower-grade 'Snow Soul Ice Soul,' I’m afraid it will take longer to enter the Spirit Movement stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I let her advance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I adopt a mechanism body that is more suitable for Snow Soul Ice Soul?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo had more thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is actually another key question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is, how to nourish the spirit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I find relevant classics in the Myriad Phenomena Sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Matters involving the secret of spirituality, is it taboo to search directly? If noticed by people with ulterior motives, what is the specific risk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo had long known that his \"Fire Burial Prajna Spirit-Solving Scripture\" contained huge risks. Once exposed, his situation would be very dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the matter of \"On Spirituality\" had already taken risks. If he were to study it further, it would be terrible to attract strong enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Need to find a safe way to do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s best if I don't act myself, let the boss do this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His disguise technique is much better than mine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun and Ning walking out had already agreed on one in the light and one in the dark. Ning Zhuo was in the light, and Sun Lingtong was in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the positioning, this kind of thing should be done by Sun Lingtong. He was more suitable than Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo took out Snow Pivot Imperial · Xie, used the Human Life Suspension Thread, contacted Sun Lingtong, and informed him of this plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong agreed without hesitation: \"Okay, I have no problem here. It’s just that I have to find the relevant classics first. Perhaps we can teleport out, find an immortal city, and go to the All-Book Building to buy them directly, which might be more convenient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo’s eyes flickered: \"Any immortal city is heavily guarded and easily leaves traces. If we choose this, it’s better to be in the White Paper Immortal City. There is an All-Book Building there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong shook his head and had a different opinion: \"No! We have industries there too. The Qingjiao Army is in our hands, and the current White Paper City Lord has requests of us. Although it was a coincidence, we also risked our lives to open up the foundation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if we can't mix in the Nandou Kingdom in the future, this is also a big retreat for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't take risks in the White Paper Immortal City. Even rabbits don't eat the grass by their nest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong was deep in the nature of a thief and was quite sensitive to the arrangement of safe houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was persuaded: \"Also. Find an opportunity in the future. Nourishing the spirit is not an urgent priority right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, how is your research on the demonic talismans on the tiger demon’s corpse? And Shen Xi’s classroom notes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when he and Sun Lingtong secretly exchanged, he handed these two items to Sun Lingtong for research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo also informed Sun Lingtong of the process of forming a feud with Pi Fujie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong: \"The demonic talismans have been researched. Consistent with the intelligence, the Pi family uses the skin of cultivators as material, adopting relevant techniques in paper cutting, and carving talismans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relevant talismans must be carved on living bodies, naturally they cannot use conventional materials.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, they chose to use souls as the main material. The more similar the soul type and attribute to the object of the talisman, the more suitable the talisman is to the target.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two demonic talismans, one increases defense, one comprehensively increases speed, which is also consistent with the intelligence you provided.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But they adopt unconventional talisman-making techniques, which are integrated, and it is difficult to find an entry point for comprehension for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even with the help of the Luoshu book pages, it is still the case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong said this, and his tone changed: \"However, Shen Xi’s classroom notes on the Nine Palaces Array, with the help of the Luoshu book pages, I learned very quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now, more than half of the content has been understood by me. Shall I teach you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Shen Xi were here, he would definitely be shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong’s comprehension in array arrangement was quite high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo shook his head: \"I’d better look at it myself first, and rub against the Luoshu book pages. When there is a result, I will communicate with you, boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the case of sufficient time, Ning Zhuo was more willing to comprehend it himself first to exercise his comprehension ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This point, Sun Lingtong had reminded him back in the Wuyin Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was an obedient good child, and he had always kept Sun Lingtong’s guidance in mind and was actively implementing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, hearing Ning Zhuo’s choice, Sun Lingtong nodded repeatedly in the Shuyu Study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking the contact, Ning Zhuo began his daily cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first used the Fetal Breath Spirit to cultivate his physical body. Now, the pressure exerted by the million human souls on the physical body had been relieved by more than half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main force was the Fetal Breath Spirit, and Chef Lao’s spirit food was just a side dish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Ning Zhuo pondered the \"Demonic Dyeing Blood Tendon Art\" again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always been dissatisfied with his comprehension speed of this cultivation art. Although every time he pondered, he gained something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the stage of alien-phenomenon seed talismans, he was now stuck in the Essence Sea lower dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am kind by nature, a pure righteous path person. I have the most talent for practicing Buddhism, and I have always been helping others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the sake of the innocent citizens of the White Paper Immortal City, I risked my life to fight the Soul Transformation-level Underworld Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With such a nature, this demonic art really doesn't suit me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, the Red Flower seal is still there. If Lin You provides another demonic art, it can also give me some reference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps, I should buy some demonic arts outside the Myriad Phenomena Sect. Let the boss do this.\" Ning Zhuo looked forward to Lin You, as he had seen the means of the Demonic Heart Cave Master with his own eyes, and had a strong feeling in his heart that this cultivation art could bring him help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as for the other demonic arts, Ning Zhuo had no feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There must be some demonic arts that contain principles similar to the \"Demonic Dyeing Blood Tendon Art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, Ning Zhuo didn't know how to select these demonic arts. This would inevitably take a lot of energy and time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could not be left to others, after all, it concerned his main cultivation art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the \"Demonic Dyeing Blood Tendon Art\" was a top-level cultivation art. To have reference value, the cultivation art must also be of high grade and expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo didn't need to ask the price to know that the cost of purchasing these cultivation arts would be huge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his small status, going to the All-Book Building to buy, he was definitely not qualified!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was another layer of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting it in the Myriad Phenomena Sect, it was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo estimated that he would at least become a Jin Dan true disciple before he might have such a possibility to obtain this level of cultivation art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this point, it could also be side-proven that the huge value of the Lava Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Meng Yaoyin died, she told Ning Zhuo repeatedly to keep an eye on this opportunity, which was not without reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cultivating like this for two days, Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo made a secret handover again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo took back the tiger demon’s corpse and Shen Xi’s classroom note jade slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong had already handled the tiger demon’s corpse, dismantling its tendons and skin, internal organs, flesh, and bones. It could be sold, or used as materials for future alchemy, artifact refining, array arrangement, talisman making, or mechanism making.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger demon’s soul was also firmly sealed by a talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This talisman was called the \"Soul-Dwelling Talisman,\" a talisman-making method researched by the Soul-Devouring Sect. After Ning Zhuo obtained almost all of Tian Shuang’s net worth, there were a large number of soul-cultivation classics inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong usually hid in the mechanism dragon, besides polishing his own cultivation, he also used his spare time to study some things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soul-Dwelling Talisman was relatively simple, so Sun Lingtong learned it easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This talisman can only temporarily store souls. After a long time, it is easy for the soul to escape, become incomplete, and the quality will decline.\" Sun Lingtong specifically cared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Shuang’s net worth originally had jade bottles for storing souls. But these things were all used by Ning Zhuo as resources for building the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun and Ning never regretted this move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These magic tools and magic treasures like jade bottles were auxiliary supplies, and they were Tian Shuang’s things. To re-refine them, the time consumed would be a lot. The Heaven and Earth Duo were not ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Qingjiao Army concerned the big plan, and also concerned life and death, so investing fully was the due meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo nodded: \"Next martial arts duel, I’m afraid I will collect some souls. Storage jade bottles need to be prepared in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I am a righteous path person, it is not very convenient to come forward to buy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong giggled and took the initiative to answer: \"Small matter, I will buy it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo nodded again: \"Hmm hmm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger demon’s corpse was handled properly, and the most valuable thing was undoubtedly the tiger skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tiger skin had the Blood-Burning Galloping Talisman and the Thousand-Scale Skin Talisman, and it was quite complete, as long as magic power was injected, it could still be driven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was thanks to Snow Color Girl · Hui’s freezing, which ensured the perfect quality of the tiger demon’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, this counts as a magic tool.\" Ning Zhuo tried to inject magic power, and saw the tiger skin quickly fill up and form a whole,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>falling to the ground, standing up, and turning into the tiger demon’s appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger skin was lifelike, as if the tiger demon had been resurrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Paper cutting technique\"—Ning Zhuo realized, indeed felt the heavy paper cutting technique contained within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been in contact with the Xuan Su Scholar, the paper army secretly arranged in the underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the simplicity of the paper army, this tiger skin was full of strong blood energy and demonic energy, and the momentum was more obvious, which could be called sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother was also good at paper cutting, but unfortunately she didn't leave me relevant classics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That paper giant statue in the White Paper Immortal City, if it hadn't been burned, I would have had a new Nascent Soul-level combat power in my hand. It’s also quite a pity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there is a chance, I also want to learn paper cutting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Ning Zhuo wanted to learn everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the tiger demon skin has enough magic power, it has the combat power of the peak Foundation Establishment. It can be considered a dispensable supplement to Ning Zhuo’s combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo collected them all in the storage belt, picked up Shen Xi’s classroom jade slip, and began to study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to what Sun Lingtong said: most of the content in this jade slip had been understood by him. The Shen family of the Nine Palaces Immortal City indeed had quite a lot of unique features. But the truly precious knowledge was not involved in the jade slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong reminded Ning Zhuo: \"This should be a fish hook Shen Xi left for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo had already expected this, just smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He studied it, and soon forgot the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until his mind was dizzy, he woke up and found that half a day had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo looked at the jade slip in his hand and revealed a bitter smile: \"This classroom note already has rich annotations and explanations, but I can only understand 30% of the content.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is still the result of the help of the Luoshu book pages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The boss’s strength in array arts is much stronger than I knew before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was first hit by Qing Chi’s talent for talisman making, and then praised Sun Lingtong’s comprehension in array arts, feeling inferior to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Shen Xi knew this situation, besides being shocked, he would definitely feel ashamed. Ning Zhuo, even with the help of the Luoshu book pages, showed such comprehension, which had already thrown him several streets away! \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Shen Xi knew of this situation, besides being shocked, he would certainly feel ashamed.
