In the underground workshop.

The gentle light of the spiritual lamp evenly filled the entire space.

Ning Zhuo sat at the table and checked the storage bag in his hand one last time.

These were the spoils of war he had obtained from the three ghosts of the Huang family in the black market.

After confirming that it was safe, Ning Zhuo began to crack the miniature array formation on the first storage bag. Then, he faked the original owner's aura and divine sense, and finally, he tricked the storage bag into opening successfully.

In the first storage bag, there were a few spirit stones, a spiritual pet, a green-blade mantis, and some materials suitable for ghost cultivators, such as dark essence, soul essence, and nether flowers.

The second storage bag contained hundreds of spirit stones. The materials for ghost cultivation were only a ball of Yin wind and a ghost cultivation technique jade slip, Yin Bone Art, which could modify one's bones.

The third storage bag belonged to the boss of the three ghosts of the Huang family. There were two layers of formations, which made it much more difficult for Ning Zhuo to break through.

"It's a good idea." The young man's eyes sparkled.

The higher the difficulty, the stronger the resistance, the more motivated he was.

He threw himself into it and enjoyed the challenge.

After spending nearly an hour, he finally succeeded.

Just open, a little head pouncing on ning compensated face.

Ning Zhuo snorted and was prepared. At the critical moment, the Great Seal of Buddha Heart Demon in his sea of consciousness flashed and caught the little brat. Then, the defensive formation on the table was activated, instantly destroying the little brat's soul.

The little devil seemed to be the last stubborn of the Huang family's ghost boss.

At this point, his storage bag no longer had any defenses against Ning Zhuo.

There were more than a thousand spirit stones and two jade slips. They were the Ghost Cultivation Technique, Netherworld Heart Sutra, and the Ghost Cultivation Spell, Detailed Explanation of Soul Guidance Technique. For example, a lot of cultivation materials were not only suitable for ghost cultivators.

"Fire essence?!" Ning Zhuo's pupils dilated slightly as he discovered about ten catties of fire essence.

Joy suddenly emerged on his face.

Suppressing his excitement, Ning Zhuo pulled out a drawer and took out a handful of Golden Silk Jade Dew Cake.

With a push of his magic power, he burned the wrapping paper on the surface of the cake, and some ashes flew out, just like ashes from burning corpses in a pill furnace.

He opened his mouth and stuffed all the pastries in his hand.

Chew.

Under the illumination of the spiritual light, his lips were red and bright, occasionally revealing his white teeth. The Golden Silk Jade Dew Cake was crushed between his teeth, and the center flowed out and mixed up. It was as if the cultivators who had fallen into his hands were grinding and wailing. Then, their flesh was crushed and turned into nutrients for Ning Zhuo to grow.

The world of cultivators was cruel. Without the gray business of the upper and lower Ruyi chains, and without the contributions of these demonic cultivators, how could Ning Zhuo afford to eat so many Golden Silk Jade Dew Cakes?

Ning Zhuo ate the Golden Silk Dew Cake while happily counting the profits from yesterday's black market.

He had obtained 24000 spirit stones by selling the Wishful Rope.

Among them, his uncle Ning responsibility for the Ning family purchased 80 ruyi rope up and down, contributed a large part.

In comparison, the three ghosts of the Huang Family had pitifully few spirit stones.

"I made the best rope in the market." So the business has been good."

"So it seems that the Ning Family is preparing for such a big battle. Will they make a big move?"

"Alas, people in the cultivation world eat people!"

"There are always people with evil intentions who bully ordinary teenagers like me."

"The three of them are poor,"he said. However, that ten kilograms of fire essence was beyond my expectations. It was really a surprise."

"In this way, the amount of fire essence that I have prepared has already reached over a thousand pounds. That's enough!"

Ning Zhuo had been secretly accumulating fire essence for the past few years. To be safe, he bought only a little from the market at a time. According to his speed, it would probably take him more than a month to prepare 10 kilograms of fire essence.

Right now, this large batch of fire essence immediately filled his final gap.

After counting his gains, Ning Zhuo counted the losses from last night's black market.

He took out a silver-gray token from his pocket.

The front of the token was a Cang character, and the back was a Chinese character.

Ning Zhuo tossed it lightly, and the token disintegrated, extended, and expanded in the air, emitting dazzling light. After the light dissipated, the mechanism armor, the Steel Han Armor, floated in the air quietly.

Ning Zhuo opened a spine of the mechanical armor. There was a Foundation Establishment Pill embedded in it.

"There are only 30% of Foundation Establishment Pills left."

This pill was a crucial one. It was one of the key elements for the Metal Han Armor to unleash the power of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Ning compensated himself only gas period.

"If you run out of Foundation Establishment Pills, you can't use the Gray Iron Han Armor anymore."

"Sigh, it's very difficult to get a Foundation Establishment Pill." Ning Zhuo frowned slightly.

This was Ning Zhuo's biggest loss yesterday.

Last night, a new scar was added.

Is Huang Gusan ghost eldest brother desperate to leave the mark, ning compensated is helpless.

If one looked closely, they would discover that the surface of this mechanical armor was already riddled with scars.

Some are old wounds, some are marks left by Ning Zhuo after wearing them in battle.

" Mother..." Ning Zhuo caressed the old wound, his eyes turning sad.

Fourteen years ago, when he was only two years old, his mother told him before she died.

Thus, he learned that there was a Lava Immortal Palace in Mount Huoshi. It was a mechanical immortal city. The city spirit secretly selected cultivators to inherit the immortal city. His mother was one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators that had been chosen. There were many trials in the Immortal City, and the difficulty was extremely high. Because of his mother's outstanding strength, she was targeted by other competitors and was eventually seriously injured.

"The Immortal City continues to deteriorate, and the selection criteria are lowered accordingly. Zhuo 'er, when you are fourteen years old, the selection criteria for the Mechanized Immortal City will be lowered to Qi Refinement Stage. This will be the first time."

" Zhuo 'er, you have to learn the mechanics properly. Don't let others know about your investment in this area."

" You have to personally design, assemble, and control the mechanisms. These are the assessment contents of the Mechanism Immortal City."

"If you are in the top few among the other selectors, you will be recognized as a mechanism seed and will receive the emphasis of the mechanism city. This is especially important to you, because you need the cultivation resources of the Mechanism Immortal Palace more than anyone else with a background."

"You can't use the power of the Ning family to cultivate to the Foundation Stage! Your mother is the seed of a mechanism in the Foundation Establishment stage. Unfortunately, my Dantian has been fixed and I can't change my cultivation method. Many of the tests in the Lava Palace were more difficult because I didn't practice the techniques left behind by the Three Sects. In the end, I had no choice but to stop."

"Cough cough cough!"

Ning Zhuo, who was two years old, cried fearfully: "Mom, don't say it, you're vomiting blood!"

Ning Zhuo's mother stretched out her hand and stroked Ning Zhuo's small head. Her eyes were full of reluctance and worry:"My son, I am sorry for you. I did not protect you." You have no father and mother, you are alone in the future, you can only rely on yourself."

"Don't be too loyal to your family. "That's what I said!"

"Before your father died, he asked Ning Xiaoren to take care of you. However, I have seen through this person clearly. He is not what he appears to be, and I cannot rely on him."

" Your uncle and aunt are both shameless and stingy. Neither of them are generous people. You have to be careful too."

"Sometimes, the relatives and friends around you are more dangerous than the enemy!"

"Don't be too outstanding. Your parents are gone, and no one is your true reliance. You have to hide yourself well, don't behave too badly, moderate can be. You have to grow up ordinary, quietly accumulate, don't attract attention."

"Mother sees too much. How many geniuses die young…"

"Mother, I'll leave my Gray Iron Armor for you to protect yourself. It has the might of Foundation Establishment."

"And this magic treasure-My Buddha Heart Demon Seal! This is the first time I've ever seen a woman in my life."

When Ning Zhuo's mother said this, her voice had already reached its limit.

She couldn't cry, to stare at the two years old ning, she wanted to look at him, always look down, but vision gradually dim.

At the last moment of her life, she fell into hesitation: "Mother doesn't know if it's right to teach you this way."

"My son, you have to take good care of yourself. If you really can't, just give up on Lava Fairy Palace."

"Life is the first, mother hope you live, live well!"

"You are alive, mother is happy."

"Mother, mother, you don't have to say that." I don't want you to die, don't you die, wuwuwu…"

Ning Zhuo's mother finally said," Good child, don't be afraid, don't be afraid…Mother is here. Mother will protect you underground…"

In the next moment, his mother's heart stopped beating and his hand slowly slid down from Ning Zhuo's head.

Ning Zhuo, who was two years old, trembled violently like an electric shock. He suddenly looked up-he was already sixteen years old.

The once young child's face, full of tears, had been replaced by the determined look of a grown boy.

He had grown up and shouldered the trust and expectation of his mother before she died.

"Niang, the situation has changed!"

"The city lord and the Zhou family and the Zheng family joined forces to increase the clearing of the Red Flame Demon Molten Cave, greatly reducing the defensive pressure of the Lava Fairy Palace and reducing the loss." Lava Fairy Palace has no external pressure, and the damage situation is maintained well, so the city spirit has not taken the initiative to lower the selection criteria."

"This year, the Ning family has also discovered the secret of the Lava Immortal Palace. If I wait for them to join in the defense, then when will I wait for the standards to drop?"

"I'm not going to be able to do that!"

" The major forces of the Fire Persimmon Immortal City are all trying their best to conceal the Lava Immortal Palace. They want to digest this opportunity within them. How can this be?"

"So, I have to do it myself!"

" Now, I've accumulated enough fire essence. It's definitely enough. I can destroy the Immortal Palace and lower the standard."

"It's just a matter of time."
