Chapter 749: Object Luck, Human Luck

The night grew deep.

Bluestone Cave Dwelling.

Unlike Ning Zhuo put down the jade slip in his hand, his expression weary and thoughtful.

He had just roughly and quickly flipped through all the jade slips.

"Empty Valley Note Green Mechanism Tube—" the big-headed youth muttered.

This Nascent Soul-grade inheritance possessed multiple cultivation technique jade slips, involving many aspects.

The true primary cultivation technique was named "Great Thousand Mechanism Sound Scripture", which was a technique for mechanism cultivators, primarily cultivating the Upper Dantian. The technique could perceive the melody of objects, allowing the cultivator to possess a special spiritual sense, capable of perceiving the special musical scales possessed by the mechanism parts themselves.

Unlike Ning Zhuo first looked at the "Empty Valley Green Mechanism General Outline". This jade slip was equivalent to a general catalog and also provided a guiding outline for the rest of the inheritance content.

Besides this, there were other methods, numerous and varied, covering many aspects.

For example, the "Empty Valley Returning Luan Transformation", this sound attack technique could utilize echoes to imitate bird calls, forming an amazing sound wave attack technique that could penetrate multiple layers of heavy armor, with amazing effects.

Or for example, the "Green Bamboo Sifting Wind Essentials", which was a principle realized by a certain generation of successors while cultivating in the bamboo forest, sensing the countless bamboo stalks swaying in the wind. It was not a cultivation technique, nor a spell, but purely an understanding of heaven and earth and an exposition of principles.

There was the "Thousand Mechanism Reed Tongue Profound Essentials", mainly for making mechanism part reed tongues. The book recorded thousands of models, allowing the reed tongues to simulate the vast majority of sounds in the world. The "Mother Note Reed Book" that Unlike Ning Zhuo had learned, as well as the "Consonant Reed Book" that he had inferred, were just the very beginning content.

There was also the "Sweeping Clouds and Wiping Heaven Book". This was a set of martial arts that used a broom as equipment. It was a chance encounter recorded by a certain generation of successors, and thus they developed corresponding spirit bamboo puppets, with unique effects.

The "Broken Jade Score" was a musical score. According to the records in the general outline, it had originally been lost. But in the life encounters of a certain generation of successors, they accidentally obtained a remnant, and after applying it, found it extremely compatible with this inheritance, so they collected it with all their might. Later, through the efforts of several successive generations, this musical score was finally collected completely.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo quickly flipped through these jade slips, he had a clearer understanding of the entire 【Empty Valley Note Green Mechanism Tube】 inheritance.

"To fully master this inheritance, two cultivation skills are needed. One is mechanism art, and the other is musical skill."

"The actual effect of the inheritance is mainly to use musical skill to control mechanisms, and use mechanisms to exert musical skill, complementing each other. Therefore, when fighting, music lays the field, and various sound attacks form a battlefield suppression advantage. The enemy has to deal with sound attacks on one side and various mechanism creations on the other, often becoming flustered and overwhelmed."

"The most important cultivation resources in the inheritance are all kinds of spirit bamboos. From the very beginning of the origin of this 【Empty Valley Note Green Mechanism Tube】 inheritance, it was about modifying the bamboo forest to defend against enemies. The foundation originated from spirit bamboo. The third and fourth generation successors all had profound cultivation skills in spirit planting and spirit farming, thus setting the tone for the entire inheritance."

Therefore, among the jade slips, there were also many cultivation techniques, experience summaries, etc., related to spirit planting and spirit farming.

What Unlike Ning Zhuo cared about most were the various mechanism creations recorded in the jade slips.

There were mechanism-type musical instruments, such as the Gold-Breaking Stone-Splitting Whistle, the Wind-Sifting Moon-Leaking Flute, the Joint-Holding Heart-Guarding Flute, etc. There were various mechanism puppets, such as the Green Bamboo Joint-Holding Sword Attendant, the Empty-Mind Blade-Folding Personal Guard, the Shadow Bamboo Wall-Sticking Dark Guard, the Dust-Sweeping Wind-Listening Monk, the Teary-Eyed Green Puppet, etc. There were also mechanism weapons, such as the Langgan Hundred-Joint Whip. And there were mechanism carriages, called the Forest-Piercing Green Python Shaft.

Unlike Ning Zhuo subconsciously compared them with Yuan Dasheng, Meng Yehu, Xue Cai Nu Hui, and Xue Shu Yu Xie.

"The mechanism bodies these dead people are currently using are all my designs."

"Compared with the mechanism creations in the 【Empty Valley Note Green Mechanism Tube】 inheritance, my designs are obviously much rougher, and one can see at a glance that there is a huge gap."

The various mechanism creations recorded in the 【Empty Valley Note Green Mechanism Tube】 inheritance were either time-tested or tempered a thousand times. Those that were unqualified would not be recorded to avoid leaving trouble for future generations.

Therefore, these mechanism creations had all undergone countless improvements and constant iteration; the designs were very mature, and the room for improvement was, at least in Unlike Ning Zhuo's view, equivalent to none.

"Can I build these mechanisms with my current strength?" This was Unlike Ning Zhuo's first thought.

He thought for a moment: "I have a mechanism pedestal, and my ability to manufacture mechanisms far exceeds Foundation Establishment, and even the Golden Core stage."

"Now that I have complete and detailed mechanism construction diagrams, most of them should be no problem."

"It's just that building Nascent Soul-level ones is still not possible."

"Because I lack the orthodox magic power of the 'Great Thousand Mechanism Sound Scripture', many steps in refining mechanisms also need corresponding improvements."

"Hmm—I still need to study hard, thoroughly understand this inheritance, so that manufacturing mechanisms will be more efficient. Otherwise, if I build them right away, the possibility of failure will be higher, it will be easy to waste materials, and it will also take a long time."

Unlike Ning Zhuo had considerable confidence in learning.

He had already mastered various methods of Confucian cultivation and had tried them repeatedly with success.

"These jade slips are all ancient objects, mostly from the original cultivators, and even more so, successive successors have written in them, adding various insights."

"If I use them for copying, the effect should be very outstanding!"

"It's just a pity that, roughly speaking, there is no wonderful method to solve Yuan Dasheng and Meng Yehu."

Unlike Ning Zhuo finally checked the three storage bags.

One of them contained many spirit stones, over one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones, and thousands of high-grade spirit stones. This solved one of Unlike Ning Zhuo's embarrassing situations.

"From now on, at least I won't always have to pay with Ghost Dao Jin Dan."

Unlike Ning Zhuo had made a fortune from war in the Thousand Peaks Forest, so he was not surprised by the number of these spirit stones.

"There are low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade spirit stones; this inheritance is also preventing various dangerous situations for the inheritance. When in distress, if one takes out high-grade spirit stones, it will only attract greedy people and evil hearts."

The second storage bag contained precious materials. They were mainly various types of spirit bamboo.

There was Dragon Chant Bamboo; the bamboo joints had holes, and when the wind passed, it sounded like a dragon's roar.

There was Startled Swan Bamboo; the bamboo body was slender, and when shaken violently, it emitted a vibrating sound that could tear silk.

There was Ghost Weeping Bamboo; the leaves fell like ghosts weeping, and it could capture souls during night rain.

There was Gold Jade Bamboo; the bamboo body was gold, and the bamboo leaves were jade.

There was Silk-Twining Bamboo; the bamboo silk was as tough as dragon tendons, and it could bind enemies tightly with a thousand turns.

There was Ground-Crouching Green Python Bamboo; it didn't grow vertically but spread along the ground, and the bamboo joints stretched and contracted like a snake moving.

There was also Empty Valley Sound-Transmitting Bamboo, which was an excellent precious material for making sound-transmitting objects.

The third storage bag had the fewest items, but for Unlike Ning Zhuo, it was the most practical.

There were many Foundation Establishment-level magic tools, etc., which need not be mentioned.

Just to mention, there was one Golden Core-level treasure, the Great Thousand Mechanism Sound Robe, which was a Golden Core-level long-sleeved magic robe.

There was a Green Bamboo Hundred-Change Armor, which was a mechanism armor; when dispersed, it had seven hundred and twenty parts, and when gathered, it could become one, tightly sealed, protecting the cultivator's physical body.

There was a Langgan Hundred-Joint Whip, a mechanism magic treasure; when whipped, it could explode with sound attacks, and the sound attacks could assist the long whip in swinging.

There was a Golden Core-level spirit bamboo puppet, the Empty-Mind Blade-Folding Personal Guard.

Finally, there was a mechanism carriage, called the Forest-Piercing Green Python Shaft, which was best at traveling through complex forest areas.

"There are no Nascent Soul-level mechanism creations." Unlike Ning Zhuo was a bit disappointed, but he could also glimpse the predicament of Qing Huangzi's lineage from this.

"If he had such mechanism creations, he would have Nascent Soul-level deterrence and wouldn't have fallen into such a state, having to urgently select a successor through the Cloud-Rising Trial."

Unlike Ning Zhuo tried using these mechanism magic treasures inside the space of the Martial Arts Formation.

He found that in his hands, these magic treasures could exert less than fifty percent of their power.

"For one, I lack orthodox magic power, and for another, it is the sound control skill, which requires proficiency in this 【Empty Valley Note Green Mechanism Tube】 inheritance to meet the operational standards."

Unlike Ning Zhuo tested them personally and found that only the mechanism carriage, the Forest-Piercing Green Python Shaft, had the lowest difficulty to control and required the least sound control skill.

"I happen to lack a means of transport. Next, I will first master this mechanism vehicle."

"When Qing Huangzi passes away, I will take over Green Bamboo Peak and use the various spirit bamboos on the mountain to cultivate this 【Empty Valley Note Green Mechanism Tube】 inheritance."

Thinking of Qing Huangzi, Unlike Ning Zhuo's mood couldn't help but sink a little.

He fell into a silence, and after a long time, he sighed deeply, full of emotion.

"Green Bamboo Peak was originally the place of inheritance, but it was incorporated by the Myriad Phenomena Sect. As the successor, I can only rent it."

"Although the talent of the reed is not great, he has been maintaining this inheritance with all his might, not failing the instructions of his predecessors."

What do people live for?

What is cultivation for?

Inheritance—

The significance of this matter is quite significant; it is one of the survival meanings and cultivation meanings that have occupied the mainstream in this Cultivation World throughout the ages.

There has never been anyone who is immortal!

Cultivating to a new great realm can indeed increase lifespan, but it has never been infinite.

A cultivator's lifespan always has a limit, and no matter how strong a person is, they will always die.

Besides bloodline, innovating cultivation techniques and skills and passing them on to the next generation is one of the life meanings pursued by the vast majority of cultivators.

Although I have died, I have existed, and my cultivation has meaning. Even if my improvement is only a tiny drop, as long as it brings blessings and influence to later generations, there will be descendants who will think of me, and my existence will have value.

Unlike Ning Zhuo naturally knew the meaning of "inheritance".

But previously, he only understood it through books, and even if he benefited from the Five Elements God Lord, the feeling was not profound.

Now, Unlike Ning Zhuo had met Qing Huangzi, who was just a fleeting passerby in his life, not strong in strength, and facing death, yet brought Unlike Ning Zhuo a huge sigh.

"Young Master, this is information about Chen San." Brother Gongsun Yan knocked on the formation to report.

Unlike Ning Zhuo gave an "en", opened a tiny gap in the Martial Arts Formation, and burst out an invisible suction force, taking the information jade slip from outside the formation into his palm.

Must thank the Commerce Hall.

This hall was very capable, able to trade a considerable amount of commercial goods, and information was one of them.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was a newcomer, and relying on the Commerce Hall, he easily made up for his major defect in information acquisition.

Black Kite Chen San—

Around 1875 of the Flying Cloud Calendar: Suspected to be a descendant of mine slaves from an abandoned mine attached to the "Green Fu Sect".

1878-1882 of the Flying Cloud Calendar: Served as a lowest-level handyman at the "Green Fu Sect", responsible for peripheral sweeping. During this period, he was called a "Hidden Rat" by some disciples.

1882 of the Flying Cloud Calendar: Involved in an internal theft case of the Green Fu Sect, was judged by the sect to be responsible, his meager cultivation was abolished, and he was officially expelled from the mountain gate. Since then, he became a member of the bottom-level loose cultivators.

1883-1888 of the Flying Cloud Calendar: Frequently employed by low-level medicine gardens and small mining points around Gray Swamp Town and Black Stone Town, serving as a guard or tracker.

1889 of the Flying Cloud Calendar: Established stable connections with the "Old Ma Hou" guide of Gray Swamp Town, the "Fast Mouth" tea waiter of Clear River Town, and the "One-Eyed Zhang" beggar leader of Black Stone Town, using a specially made mechanism "Kite Whistle" to send and receive information, forming the initial information network.

Same year: The rumor spread about "rich red copper veins discovered in West Forest Ditch" led to a short-term surge of nearly thirty percent in the price of red copper ore in the West Market in the winter of 1889 of the Flying Cloud Calendar, triggering small-scale panic buying and chaos, which was later confirmed to be false news about the ore veins.

1891 of the Flying Cloud Calendar: Employed by the "Bamboo Mountain Hall", participated in its struggle with the "Black Water Gang" over a small refined iron mining point in Wild Dog Forest—

1893 of the Flying Cloud Calendar: Confirmed through multiple channels, the "Kite Whistle" information network had stably covered the three towns of "Gray Swamp", "Black Stone", and "Clear River" and the surrounding fifty-mile range. Chen San became a key node for bottom-level news circulation in this area, effectively providing clues on the edge of ruins, movements of low-level monsters, friction between small forces, etc. The charging model was clear (small amount of spirit stones or equivalent), and the timeliness of information delivery was recognized at the bottom level.

1894 of the Flying Cloud Calendar: "Toad Gambling House" special spirit fraud case. 1895 of the Flying Cloud Calendar: Mid-spring, "Broken Tooth" Sun Biao, employed to hunt down a young loose cultivator carrying "Warm Jade Marrow", entered Chen San's main activity area. Three days later, Sun Biao was poisoned by several kinds of common toxic powders, his legs were seriously injured, and the traces of mechanism rats and birds pecking were obvious. He fled in a sorry state, not mentioning the target at all, only roaring wildly "Kites! Kites everywhere!". The target appeared safely in Clear River Town, and the Warm Jade Marrow was still there.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo quickly read through it, he fell into deep thought.

He didn't know Chen San well, and Chen San's public expression of defection was already beyond Unlike Ning Zhuo's expectations.

But Unlike Ning Zhuo knew well that this matter could not be handled simply.

Therefore, he didn't agree, nor did he refuse, but instead let Chen San send Ah Huo a portion of spirit food, which was essentially still stalling for time.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo left the restaurant, he immediately sent a letter to Brother Gongsun Yan, asking him to collect information on Chen San.

Only by obtaining this key information could Unlike Ning Zhuo make the correct choice.

Reading through the entire information, Unlike Ning Zhuo found that this Chen San was not a demonic cultivator, was born at the bottom, and was a loose cultivator, drifting outside the righteous path and surviving in the gray area.

"Then, should I use this person or not?"

Flying Cloud Kingdom, Ban Family.

Clan Ancestral Hall.

A group of Supreme Elders, the core members of the Ban family's power, were almost all gathered together, each with a livid face, staring coldly or gravely and gloomily at a huge mechanism creation in front of them.

Clan Fate Pivot Chain!

This huge mechanism with a peculiar shape involved luck and could monitor the Ban family's fate at all times.

"Is the Clan Fate Pivot Chain in such an abnormal state because of Seeing Ban Ji's tribulation this time? If handled slightly improperly, does our clan have a crisis?!"

"What kind of tribulation is so terrifying? You must know that Seeing Ban Ji possesses a King's Mandate!" "No, his King's Mandate hasn't erupted yet."

"That's not right. We arranged for Seeing Ban Ji to join the Myriad Phenomena Sect after multiple divinations. As long as he joins the Myriad Phenomena Sect and successively obtains the several mechanism inheritances we planned, he can gradually stimulate his King's Mandate. Why is there such a big discrepancy now?!"

"The current situation is this: Seeing Ban Ji's human tribulation this time is named Unlike Ning Zhuo, now confirmed to be an outsider from another country, and his specific origin and background are still under investigation. Based on various signs, this person's background is definitely not simple; he is a genius junior at the same level as Seeing Ban Ji."

"Currently, he has already snatched two opportunities from Qing Huangzi and Che Zhuzi, forcing Seeing Ban Ji to only take the third one in the plan."

"It doesn't matter, right? Even if the King's Mandate hasn't erupted and is in a latent dragon state, it's not something an outsider can easily suppress."

"The latent dragon period is indeed weak. Don't forget, out of selfishness, shortly after Seeing Ban Ji was born, we used the Clan Fate Pivot Chain to completely link his fate with our clan's fate. In other words, Seeing Ban Ji is being dragged down by the entire family."

"How can you say dragged down? He is surnamed Ban and is a descendant of our family's bloodline. How much resources have we secretly subsidized for him? This is to escort him!"

The Supreme Great Elder interjected at this time: "That's right, this time we will also escort him again."

"Trigger the Clan Fate Pivot Chain, link to Unlike Ning Zhuo through Seeing Ban Ji's fate, I want to see this person's fate state at this time."

O

Others hurriedly complied, triggering this clan-protecting mechanism luck magic treasure.

The Clan Fate Pivot Chain immediately began to rotate its various parts, including sliders, chains, wheels, etc., causing the entire appearance to undergo huge changes.

The Supreme Great Elder frowned first, keenly feeling that the Clan Fate Pivot Chain was operating with difficulty. After the upper part deformed, it was difficult to move in the lower part.

A Supreme Elder's eyes shot out sharp light: "This child's background is indeed not small; he must have a magic treasure to cover his own fate, or his family has a clan-protecting luck magic treasure, and our clan's Clan Fate Pivot Chain actually cannot calculate it."

Another said: "Only calculating half of it is enough to glimpse many details. Hmm?"

While speaking, they saw the mechanism in the upper part begin to deform again.

Such a strange change attracted the close attention of many Supreme Elders.

After a dozen breaths, the change of the Clan Fate Pivot Chain ended, and the new mechanism structure made many Supreme Elders change color one after another.

"Not good, Unlike Ning Zhuo has another opportunity now!"

"His fate has suddenly increased greatly; what heavy treasure has he obtained?"

"It's not just treasure luck, but also human luck. More accurately, this human luck accounts for the most! This indicates that Unlike Ning Zhuo will encounter a talent who is important in his life and can bring him huge help."

The Supreme Great Elder reached out, stopping the increasingly urgent discussion of others: "Don't be impatient."

"The mechanism is still changing slowly."

"The form has not been truly determined, indicating that Unlike Ning Zhuo has not yet obtained the person, and is still in his choice and hesitation. Everything has not been finalized."

The Supreme Elders couldn't help but hold their breath, looking slightly nervous.

This human luck was really strong; if Unlike Ning Zhuo obtained it, it would cause a more powerful blow to Seeing Ban Ji.

And Seeing Ban Ji's King's Mandate had not erupted yet; being suppressed meant the entire Ban family was being suppressed!

This was a very serious loss for the Ban family's future.

The night was deep, and Chen San arrived in front of the Bluestone Cave Dwelling.

He landed lightly, shrinking his hands and feet, observing the cave dwelling's entrance, his lips pursed nervously.

He bowed silently, his demeanor humble and cautious, and then sent a flying letter, indicating that he had handled the matters Unlike Ning Zhuo had entrusted to him and wanted to request an audience and report. ===== CHAPTER 750 =====

He silently bowed and offered a salute, his demeanor humble and cautious, then sent out a flying letter, indicating that he had already handled the matters Unlike Ning Zhuo had entrusted to him and wished to request an audience to report back.
