In the white light, a figure emerged from inside the armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearance was a middle-aged male cultivator, with an eight-foot-tall body, muscles bulging. His face was carved by the wind and frost, and his chin had short whiskers like a bronze short halberd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes revealed blue light, and his gaze fell on Ning Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo immediately felt an icy sharpness like a blade from this gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo bowed and saluted: \"Junior Ning Zhuo, pay respects to the Young Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was familiar with the intelligence, so he naturally understood that the god in front of him was the highest leader of the Profound Armor Cave, who had turned from an instrument spirit into a god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu restrained his gaze and said indifferently: \"No need for courtesy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then said: \"I have seen your trial images, and your performance can be described as amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first, your strength was low, and no one was optimistic about you, but you relied on your qualifications that exceeded ordinary people, practiced while learning, and finally won the top spot, which was truly wonderful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can create battle arrays, and you can plan and move in the encirclement of the crowd, borrowing strength to break the situation—wisdom, temperament, and comprehension are all top-notch choices. Winning the top spot this time is well-deserved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe that once this result spreads, you will become famous again in the main gate of the Myriad Phenomena Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo responded: \"The Young Master praises me too much, the junior is terrified, it is just a little bit of wisdom, borrowing the trend, and more of good luck, I dare not take this honor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You deserve it.\" Young Master Qingwu's blue pupils turned slightly, \"You also know that the purpose of the Profound Armor Cave holding the Cloud-Rising Trial is to spread the Profound Armored Shells as much as possible and hand them over to suitable cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The top spot reward for each Cloud-Rising Trial of the Profound Armor Cave is also based on this, so that each reward is much the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this time—\" Young Master Qingwu changed the subject, \"the reward is different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Ning Zhuo: \"I will give you three true meanings, and strip away the corresponding principles, and add them all to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo: ?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He widened his eyes in disbelief, looked up at Young Master Qingwu, feeling as if he had misheard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the weight of \"true meaning\" too well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, the Five Elements God Lord taught him the mysteries of the five elements, which was to instill his own five elements true meaning into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo's five elements realm soared as a result, so much so that he benefited from the five elements realm countless times while traveling the world, bringing him great help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, this ancient god also wants to instill his true meaning, as well as principles, into him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo furrowed his brows, unable to figure out this section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he participated in this Cloud-Rising Trial was mainly to intercept Ban Ji. When the time came, he also fought for the top spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the top spot reward, he was familiar with the intelligence and had no expectations in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected that the top spot reward this time would be so generous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the surprise came the doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo carefully weighed his words and said slowly: \"Young Master's generous gift, the junior—is flattered!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True meaning is precious, the junior can still do his best to carry and comprehend one or two. But this principle—the junior is only at the Foundation Establishment cultivation level, the soul is humble, the physical body is weak, how can I bear this weight of heaven and earth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the instillation of true meaning, Ning Zhuo was confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But adding principles to the body was another matter. This was similar to refining, where the cultivator constantly hammers the embryo, and while shaping, also forcibly adds various types of principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators arrange magic arrays on the embryo, engrave talismans, all of which are adding various principles to it, making the final product possess various powers and wonderful uses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The embryo being forged is made of various precious materials and is usually a dead object, unable to feel pain. But the cultivator's physical body is alive; adding principles to the body is equivalent to treating the cultivator's physical body as an embryo and performing refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is not just ten thousand times painful, but the more terrible consequence is that, light, cultivation will be disordered, and heavy, the physical body will be destroyed, stepping into the path of extinction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True meaning instillation is to comprehend with the heart, testing comprehension, belonging to the brain knowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding principles to the body is to comprehend with the body, the core point is that the physical body can support it, belonging to the body knowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Examples of adding principles to the body are everywhere. The vast majority of magic treasures and magic tools belong to this category. They are dead objects and cannot comprehend principles, but the principles engraved on them can allow them to have various effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Profound Armored Shell is also like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are used by cultivators, and in the process of use, they record many principles of martial arts. Therefore, even if these Profound Armored Shells leave their original owners, they can still perform martial arts moves, etc., on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was confident in his comprehension and preferred true meaning instillation. But he didn't want to add principles to his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo had two attitudes toward true meaning and principles, but Young Master Qingwu needed Ning Zhuo to carry both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to purify his path!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant abandoning the other three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal cultivators practice and will actively choose one, not involving other paths too much. Young Master Qingwu's origin is very special; he is an instrument spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine-Fold Profound Armored Shell itself originated from the Mechanism Pivot Sect, was refined and created, and adopted the techniques of refining and mechanism, and also contained the principles of military and martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine-Fold Profound Armored Shell has survived to this day, and the Flying Cloud Assembly and more Cloud-Rising Trials have allowed many cultivators to possess their own Profound Armored Shells. And these Profound Armored Shells, after being fed back to the Nine-Fold Profound Armored Shell body, have continuously accumulated in these four aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu had no choice but to accumulate passively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After possessing the godhead, most of these accumulations became burdens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to throw away these burdens, one must discard both true meaning and principles at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu persuaded Ning Zhuo: \"Don't worry too much, Ning Zhuo. Others can't, but you can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was stunned, meeting Young Master Qingwu's blue eyes, feeling the other party's certainty. It was a confidence far stronger than his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? On what basis?\" Ning Zhuo's face was full of such doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu's eyes jumped slightly, his voice was low, and he told Ning Zhuo a past event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twelve years ago, I was trapped in the bottleneck of the divine path, and I secretly visited a demon cultivator who was proficient in divination. His name was Escape Armor Profound Master—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo listened carefully, his expression changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Young Master Qingwu finished stating, Ning Zhuo's brows furrowed even tighter: \"In this way, I am your 'predestined person'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu nodded: \"I was also half-believing and half-doubting myself. However, twelve years have passed, the time for divination has arrived, the top spot has been decided, and you have appeared before me on your own initiative.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Profound Master calculated that you are gifted, your luck is prosperous, far higher than ordinary people! As for the method of 'borrowing your body to perform this true meaning stripping, and principle adding'—the Profound Master asserted that you can bear it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding true meaning, you should know that this is also a huge opportunity for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for adding principles to the body, why don't I try a little bit first, try it slightly, and if it can't be done, stop in time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo furrowed his brows and thought, asking Sun Lingtong in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Human Life Thread supernatural power allowed Ning Zhuo to communicate secretly even in front of Young Master Qingwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Shuyu Study, Sun Lingtong shrugged: \"The suggestion this Young Master made is very good, even if some principles are added to the body, it's a big deal for me to help you remove them in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The foundation of the Profound Armor Cave force is in the Myriad Phenomena Sect. He also needs to abide by the sect's rules, so if he wants to harm you, he will face severe punishment from the entire Myriad Phenomena Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He also confessed these origins, and the sincerity is obvious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong's view was very similar to Ning Zhuo's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Escape Armor Profound Master calculated that I am a predestined person. If this matter is not fake, I should have the ability to bear these principles!\" Ning Zhuo had the experience of the White Paper Immortal City, which also added a lot of confidence out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting for a while, Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged on the cushion, sitting opposite the body of the Nine-Fold Profound Armored Shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Young Master Qingwu taught, he said solemnly: \"My understanding of the military, refining, and mechanism paths is all in here, get ready!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mottled and heavy bronze armor suddenly shone brightly, no longer dark, and erupted with dazzling green-gold divine light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient runes on the armor plates were revealed, like hundreds of millions of swimming tadpoles, swimming rapidly and colliding with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In countless collisions, thousands of sparks were ignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge true meaning erupted as a result, carrying an invisible impact force, making Ning Zhuo's upper body sway, almost falling backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo felt as if he were a stone, thrown into an incomparably huge grinding disc that was stirring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The initial feeling was complex, chaotic, and so overwhelming that he was almost suffocated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the images of tens of thousands of different ores, spiritual woods, bone materials, beast skins, demon blood, etc., flew past his eyes, flying like snowflakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hammers, tongs, anvils, files, tweezers, carving knives, melting furnaces—etc., the most basic and shallow refining techniques mixed in, surging like the sea, submerging Ning Zhuo's sea of consciousness directly like looking at flowers on horseback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo was dazzled, his spirit highly concentrated, with a slightly nervous mood, quickly receiving this true meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had experience, and at the same time, his learning and comprehension ability had been greatly improved, so he was at ease at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good comprehension!\" Young Master Qingwu praised in his heart, \"Next, it is the principle adding to the body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the next moment, Ning Zhuo's body had a feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole body skin seemed to be experiencing the friction of various materials—the rough and icy cold of ores, the warm and moist of spiritual wood—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The residual temperature after the metal was burned, the sticky and slippery of demon blood—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His nasal cavity was filled with sulfur, charcoal, molten metal, herbal juice, etc., some fragrant, some rich, some bitter, some pungent—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ears were filled with the roar of furnace fire, the knocking of metal, the explosion of materials, the low groan of the embryo—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empathy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu stopped slowly, his eyes flashing with joy: \"You are indeed my opportunity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was agreed upon by both sides, to try cultivation first and see the effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first attempt was a great success!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In just a short while, my refining realm has reached the peak of the craftsman level!\" Ning Zhuo was happy in his heart, and he was not surprised by his absorption and comprehension of true meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What surprised him was his physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principles added to my body can actually be perfectly borne, and they also fit with the relevant true meaning, helping me understand more deeply from the perspective of empathy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is really great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Lingtong had been closely watching the situation here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning this, he immediately shouted: \"Little Zhuo, your body has great mysteries and is extremely unusual. Under normal circumstances, these principles added to the body are like refining a physical body into a magic treasure. It would be strange if you didn't get hurt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I originally estimated that you would suffer some minor injuries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it turned out like this, how strange!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo pondered: \"Is this related to my second innate talent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked his body carefully again and found that his muscles were just tense, and he was just sweating a thin layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you feel?\" Young Master Qingwu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Zhuo's eyes shone: \"Very good, please continue, Young Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Qingwu smiled slightly and acted immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True meaning instillation, principle adding to the body, Ning Zhuo's foundation was soaring at an unbelievable amplitude every minute and every second!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji's expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie was discussing the next action plan with him, and seeing his expression change, she asked immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji shook his head slowly, subconsciously covering his heart: \"Just a moment ago, I suddenly felt empty, as if an important treasure had been taken away by someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Ban Ji couldn't help but laugh: \"This is just an illusion, not worth mentioning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie heard this, but her heart sank, and she couldn't help but think of the Profound Armor Cave: \"The top spot reward of the Profound Armor Cave, although generous, is just like that. What is really helpful to Ban Ji should be something else. But what it is, there is no way to investigate now. Alas—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie sighed in her heart, but on the surface, she was light and breezy: \"Even if Ning Zhuo wins the top spot reward, it's just like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ban Ji, our failure this time does not affect the overall situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The family is increasing its efforts and is about to send a bottle of Hundred-Refining Golden Body Pills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji immediately raised his eyebrows, revealing a look of surprise: \"What? This kind of precious pill can improve my physical foundation and greatly reduce the difficulty of my Myriad Mechanism Demonic Monster attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The family finally collected this kind of pill, I mentioned it countless times before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji said this and took out a Profound Armored Shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Profound Armored Shell was refined by him from the Copper Lake, and it was a reward that every cultivator could get after breaking through to the third stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Profound Armored Shells they \"subdued\" in the second stage, they were all treasures of the Profound Armor Cave, just temporarily rented to the trial cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji looked at the Profound Armored Shell in his hand: \"If I had known there were Hundred-Refining Golden Body Pills, why would I have to ask for any Profound Armored Shell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack of the Myriad Mechanism Demonic Monster immortal talent, the reason why Ban Ji was in danger, was because the principles of mechanism and monster path were added to his body, making it difficult for Ban Ji to bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Profound Armored Shell was refined, it was equivalent to one body. This gave Ban Ji more space to carry principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hundred-Refining Golden Body Pill was an auxiliary pill that could make the principles on the cultivator's body harmonious and arranged reasonably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the degree of help the Profound Armored Shell brought to Ban Ji was one, then the help of the Hundred-Refining Golden Body Pill was at least fifty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Ji had the Hundred-Refining Golden Body Pill, and suddenly looked down on the Profound Armored Shell a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie knew the truth, but sighed again in her heart: \"The family had already collected this kind of pill, but for the sake of the great plan to stimulate Wang Ming, it has been withheld and not used.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this Cloud-Rising Trial, the human tribulation was fierce, and Ban Ji was defeated again. After the family used the clan's pivot chain to calculate, they calculated that Ban Ji must be strengthened, otherwise the future would be bleak, let alone stimulating Wang Ming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is why they took the pill and sent it over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie thought of Ning Zhuo: \"I don't know what he will get?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some opportunities that are very beneficial to Ban Ji may not be suitable for others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It might even be a disaster, not a blessing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ban Jie comforted herself, but couldn't help but let her thoughts drift: \"But the loss Ban Ji just felt, I'm afraid it's not an illusion—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this failure, Ban Ji's luck plummeted, and he can only consume precious pills to make up for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will Ning Zhuo's luck soar?\" ===== CHAPTER 781 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",2953,"2026-06-17T23:36:22.540Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d966ef0b50b28a26ce9a8142e3a2cca304aeaf5e34607723655b045e891209cd","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-781","immortal-craftsmanship-chapter-779",783,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortal-craftsmanship-cover.jpg"]
