Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master/
Chapter 27 : The Secret
Ning Zhuo slowly opened his eyes and realized that his vision had changed greatly. He returned to his underground workshop.
A strong feeling of weakness arose deep within him.
Ning Zhuo stood up and examined himself.
"There is nothing wrong with my physical body, but my soul has been weakened too much."
In room two, he suffered too many hits from giant trees.
" Although this is only the first time I've explored the Lava Immortal Palace and I haven't entered Room 3, I've gained a lot!"
" Especially the spell rewards from Room 2. I was lucky enough to bring them back."
Ning Zhuo was not in a hurry to study the magic he had obtained. Instead, he drank water and ate first.
His soul had been extracted, and his physical body was in a coma. His heartbeat and breathing were maintained, but it was not appropriate to not move for a long time.
After all, Ning Zhuo was only a Qi Refinement Stage cultivator, and he hadn't cultivated any body refinement techniques. His physical body was not strong.
While he was eating and drinking to replenish his body, Ning Zhuo calculated the time.
" The first exploration of the Lava Palace took about six hours."
"Qi Refinement Stage cultivators who have cultivated the Five Elements Qi Law Art will enter the Lava Immortal Palace differently from before. Previously, he entered the palace with his real body, but now his soul is being pulled…This means that even if the City Lord guards the top of the Fire Peristle Mountain, it doesn't have much meaning."
"No, the City Lord should continue to seal it."
"On the one hand, he needs to stop cultivators above the Qi Refinement Stage from entering the palace. After all, the Lava Immortal Palace has already been born."
"On the other hand, it's also beneficial to his own faction. His grandson Meng Chong was still in the Qi Refinement Stage. He had been preparing for the Lava Immortal Palace long ago. In this regard, the City Lord's side still has the most advantage."
"Meng Chong possesses a super immortal talent-Berserk Thunder! I can't compete with him at all."
"Sigh, I wonder which level he has passed? Room 2 won't be a problem for him."
Ning Zhuo's first exploration, although did not enter Room 3, but the harvest is great.
The Lava Immortal Palace treated 'outsiders' and 'own cultivators' differently.
This is very beneficial to Ning Zhuo.
According to the previous method, Ning Zhuo needed to face competitors in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Aurous Core Stage, and even the Nascent Soul Stage.
But now, under this test method, his opponents were only Qi Refinement Stage cultivators for the time being.
Ning Zhuo recalled the information he had gathered.
"Meng Chong is definitely the leader of the Qi Refinement cultivators on the City Lord's side."
"Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu are Qi Refinement Stage cultivators of the Zhou Clan. These two people have specially joined Mud Flow Sect, and their attainments in mechanism arts are difficult to estimate."
"Zheng Jian of the Zheng family is a figure in the Qi Condensation stage. He has a high-grade immortal talent like Heart-piercing Insight, which is also very impressive."
"As for the Ning family, Ning Xiaohui is the best among Qi Refinement cultivators of the same level. However, she is unwilling to change to the Five Elements Qi Law Art."
"Sigh, these are all cultivation geniuses."
"Compared to them, I only have low-grade early-wisdom immortal talent."
"The key is that they have a deep background. They can get powerful support from their families and even help from Nascent Soul cultivators. I can't do it. I'm too ordinary. I can only fight alone. In this respect, we can only look up."
Ning Zhuo thought about the situation and had a headache.
He found a bottle of soul recovery pills, poured a few pills, and swallowed them in one gulp.
Then, he hurriedly threw himself onto the bed and fell asleep.
While he was resting, a conflict was taking place in the Zhou family.
"Why can't I use the Gathering and Dispersing Wishful Tide Spirit Formation here?" A Qi Condensation cultivator shouted arrogantly.
"Just because I'm here." Zhou Zeshen walked out with a gloomy face.
The Qi Refinement Stage cultivator's lips curled up. He was about to mock Zhou Zeshen when he saw Zhou Zeshen take out a small flag.
He aimed at the Zhou Clan Qi Refinement cultivator who was looking for trouble. With a shake of his hand, the dirt beneath the Zhou Clan Qi Refinement cultivator's feet immediately turned into a swamp and quickly swallowed him.
The Qi Refinement Realm cultivator of the Zhou family shouted,"Zhou Zeshen, you're too arrogant. You actually used force in the clan grounds!" Aiya…"
He was speechless.
His whole body was almost swallowed up by the mud. His chin and mouth were submerged in the mud, but his nostrils remained above, giving him a chance to breathe.
He struggled desperately, but he could not move. His entire body exploded with anger. His face was red and he glared angrily.
Zhou Zeshen sneered. Then, he looked around and said to the crowd," I know that there are people in the family who are unhappy with Zhou Zhu and me."
"But using this kind of trick to disgust people is really underestimating me."
At this moment, a sharp alarm sounded from underground.
Zhou Zeshen's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly turned around and ran into the basement.
The Gathering and Dispersing Ruyi Tide Spirit Formation had already stopped. Zhou Zhu lay on the ground with his eyes closed and all the pores on his body bleeding.
"Big pillar!" Zhou Zeshen shouted and rushed into the formation to check on Zhou Zhu and treat him urgently.
Not long after, an elder of the Zhou clan rushed over with a livid expression." Investigate, we must find the murderer and punish him severely!"
Zheng Family.
The refining room was in full swing.
The ten-foot-tall furnace opened its mouth wide, and the flames lit Zheng Jian's face red.
At this moment, his upper body was naked, his muscles were bulging, and sweat was rolling down his face. He was working hard on refining.
He held the iron pincers in one hand and the hammer in the other, constantly beating the embryo.
The embryo is quite small, only the size of a baby's palm.
Suddenly, the weapon embryo shone brightly.
Zheng Jian's eyes sparkled. He quickly put down the hammer, scooped up a ladle of water, and sprinkled it directly.
The clear water fell onto the embryo and emitted a sizzling sound, evaporating large streams of white steam.
Zheng Jian immediately felt a trace of danger and quickly retreated.
However, he had already inhaled a little white steam. He couldn't help but cough twice and cough out blood.
"Damn it, this water is poisoned!"
Zheng Jian's face turned pale as he jumped out of the refining room.
City Lord Mansion.
A black-clothed assassin climbed over the wall and stepped on the roof, silently taking out an arrow-shaped magic tool.
He secretly used magic to melt a small hole through the roof, and then slowly extended the blow arrow.
But the next moment, he heard a low roar: "Thief, die!"
The blow arrow was pushed forward fiercely, bringing with it terrifying lightning. It directly pierced through the assassin's mouth and shot out from behind the assassin's head. Then, it disappeared into the sky at an extremely fast speed.
The assassin trembled violently in the blinding lightning.
In the next moment, he turned into coke and fell headfirst. He rolled all the way down the roof until he hit the ground.
"Oh, my God!" In the room, Meng Chong slowly closed his eyes and continued to disperse his Qi.
Ning Family.
Ning Xiaohui stood in front of the clan leader, with her grandmother and the elder of the Fu Tang clan beside her.
"It's not impossible for me to cultivate the Five Elements Qi Law Art. But I have some requests!" Ning Xiaohui changed her tone.
It turned out that the Ning Family's main line had always been unable to recommend decent people, so they could only recommend Ning Xiaohui.
Ning Xiaohui's grandmother and the Fu Tang clan elder who supported her gradually could not withstand the joint pressure of others and could only choose to compromise.
