Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 110: Chapter 109: Enthusiastically Helping Friend Little Zhuo

The Ning Family residence also had a cultivation room.

After finishing his meal, Ning Zhuo entered the cultivation room and began his practice.

First, he carefully inspected the surrounding facilities and discovered there were no surveillance methods. He then took a detailed look at the formation inside the cultivation room.

The formation was intricate and interconnected with the main formation of the Ning Family.

The main formation of the Ning Family surrounded one of the formation pillars of the Great Array of Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

Due to this layered and detailed relationship, the formation in Ning Ze’s cultivation room could provide ample spiritual power.

The source of this spiritual power was the inexhaustible fire-attribute spiritual energy within the Fire Persimmon Mountain.

The vast fire-attribute spiritual energy carried poisonous evil, which was purified and refined by the Great Array of Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

After being purified, the fire-attribute spiritual energy was transformed into neutral spiritual energy through some complex formations.

Upon reaching the Ning Family Clan Land, the neutral spiritual energy was further transformed into ice-attribute or water-attribute spiritual energy.

This was because the mainstream cultivation techniques of the Ning Family contained elements of ice or water attributes.

After shifting his cultivation technique, Ning Zhuo’s breath technique was the Five Elements Qi Regulation Art, which had broad applicability, allowing him to directly absorb any spiritual energy related to the five elements.

Therefore, this cultivation room was also suitable for him.

Soon, floating clouds began to drift inside the cultivation room.

The layers of floating clouds covered Ning Zhuo’s entire body, enveloping him into a large cotton ball.

However, since the cultivation room was spacious, the floating clouds only gathered around Ning Zhuo and could not fill the entire secret room.

Initially, the Ning Family had spent a great deal of effort and resources in setting up the family’s abode.

Encased in the floating clouds, Ning Zhuo first took out spiritual food and snacks, savoring the lingering flavor. He then drank a bottle of secret juice worth over a hundred spirit stones, causing his spiritual power to surge and his body to swell slightly from the abundance.

Since taking too many elixir pills could lead to medicinal toxicity, he refrained from consuming them.

Spiritual food, however, did not have this drawback, though it was prone to spoilage, hard to preserve for long periods, and expensive.

Spiritual food was much more costly than elixir pills.

But Ning Zhuo was wealthy!

His current income, besides the profits from the Explosive Flame Monkey mechanism, also included periodic leaderboard rewards from the Magma Fairy Palace and resources swindled from his uncle.

The largest portion came from the combined distribution of cultivation resources by the three families. Previously, the share was already substantial. This time, after successive attacks on the three families’ geniuses, the stimulus led to a three to four-fold increase in the distributed resources!

Ning Zhuo had already showcased his cultivation level, and the potential, undetected talent, granting him a top-tier share of resources. He was entirely on par with someone like Zheng Jian!

Therefore, Ning Zhuo had the means to indulge in these spiritual foods.

After the spiritual food, he also prepared some elixir pills.

Furthermore, his magic artifact cushion was an excellent auxiliary cultivation tool.

Today, the three families had jointly issued a new batch of resources. The Sharp Advance Needle and the Ice Light Strong Pulse Talisman among them made Ning Zhuo’s eyes light up. These were usually only enjoyed by geniuses like Ning Xiaohui from the main branch!

With the Five Elements Qi Regulation Art to absorb energy, the cultivation of the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique, and the Meditative Spirit Mirror Spirituality Technique…

These three cultivation techniques advanced at a visible rate when resources were plentiful.

Initially, Ning Zhuo was surrounded by five-colored lights, which stained the inner layer of floating clouds. Then, the red demon light covered his face, and blood qi overflowed. Finally, his aura contracted, and Buddhist nature rose, filling his face with a look of compassion.

Once his cultivation reached his body’s limits, Ning Zhuo decisively stopped.

Rapid cultivation progress was also not good.

His body, especially the three dantians, needed a period of adaptation and buffering.

Rapid cultivation growth often led to an unstable foundation, for this reason.

However, among the materials Ning Zhuo used, there were plenty of items to speed up adaptation. He wasn’t stingy and used them directly.

“At this moment, I must exert all my effort to seize the Magma Fairy Palace as quickly as possible.”

“Wealth is merely external, without life, no amount of spirit stones would matter.”

Ning Zhuo realized this profoundly.

He opened the door of the secret chamber and walked out.

He wore a smile.

The results of this cultivation session were greater than ever before.

“Primarily because the Sharp Advance Needle and the Ice Light Strong Pulse Talisman are remarkably effective.”

“If I could also use the Gathering and Dispersing As Desired Spirit Tide Array, it would certainly be even better.”

“Unfortunately, I cannot use it.”

Ning Zhuo was very wary of the Zhou Family’s power and their ways of doing things.

Among the three families, Ning Zhuo was very knowledgeable about the Ning Family and felt confident about them. The Zheng Family was straightforward and predictable.

The Zhou Family was different.

In terms of power, the Zhou Family was undoubtedly the first among the three families. Even the Zheng Family felt they had a hard power gap with the Zhou Family.

But in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, the Zheng Family was the most prominent force, not the Zhou Family.

The Zhou Family liked to act with careful planning and had deep minds. Zhou Zhu was an exception; Zhou Zeshen, on the other hand, was representative of the Zhou Family’s cultivators, embodying many of their characteristics.

“I accidentally uncovered the Zhou Family’s little secret while using the Golden Blood Battle Ape – Dasheng.”

“To this day, the Zhou Family has kept silent about it.”

Of course, Ning Zhuo wouldn’t expose it voluntarily.

The Zhou Family keeping secrets was advantageous for him.

“Master Ning Ze, this way please. Young Master Ning Zhuo is in the side hall.” Shortly after, the family servant led Ning Chen and Ning Yong inside.

Upon entering the side hall, they saw Ning Zhuo.

“A Zhuo!” Ning Yong raised his arm and waved excitedly.

Ning Chen smiled, and respectfully cupped his hands to greet Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo waved his hand, “With our kind of friendship, there’s no need for formalities. Let’s sit down and chat while we eat.”

“Exactly, why be formal with A Zhuo! We’ve been through thick and thin together.” Ning Yong nonchalantly walked over and, upon seeing the various types of spiritual food on the round table, his eyes widened.

“My goodness, so much spiritual food!” Ning Yong exclaimed.

Ning Chen also sat down with a look of amazement.

Both of them had been practicing at home, and upon hearing the servant’s report about Ning Zhuo’s invitation, they promptly agreed and came over.

Ning Zhuo was now a different person, and the two felt a deeper sense of affection, admiration, and a bit of guilt, which made them ready to accept the invitation at once.

The three of them chatted in the side hall.

Ning Yong’s cheeks puffed up, constantly filled with food.

Ning Chen, initially reserved and restrained, ate many snacks after Ning Zhuo’s persuasion.

The moment Ning Zhuo saw the two, he began to use the nascent divine skill Life Hanging Thread.

Only after two cups of tea’s time did he manage to place a Life Hanging Thread on each of their heads.

These two Life Hanging Threads were much thinner than those on his cousin Ning Ji and his aunt Wang Lan, appearing semi-transparent.

“So knowing one’s target affects the implementation of the Life Hanging Thread this much!”

Ning Zhuo pondered internally.

The nascent divine skill only told him that he had this ability.

It was like growing legs allowed Ning Zhuo to understand he could walk and run. But the exact distance he could walk, how fast he could run, and how high he could jump all required his own practice.

Only through practice could true knowledge be obtained.

Now upon looking, Ning Zhuo realized that his previous estimates were overly optimistic.

“Ning Chen and Ning Yong have been my classmates for fourteen years. Although we weren’t particularly close, we were quite familiar with each other and knew some basic information.”

“My cultivation level is higher than theirs, and it still took two cups of tea’s time to set up the Life Hanging Thread.”

This demonstrated that the Life Hanging Thread’s practical combat value was not very high.

In battle, most opponents were unfamiliar.

With the intensity of combat, rapid offensive and defensive shifts, and life-threatening situations, who could systematically implement the Life Hanging Thread?

At least for now, Ning Zhuo couldn’t manage it.

“This divine skill is mainly for managing power, not for excelling in combat.”

“Unless I could preemptively set up the Life Hanging Thread.”

“However, currently, setting up the Life Hanging Thread required close proximity. More than three steps apart, it’s nearly impossible!”

After setting up the Life Hanging Thread, Ning Zhuo stopped chatting and took the initiative, “I invited both of you here to help out.”

Your current cultivation level is temporarily lower than mine. I’ve reached the third layer peak and have many experiences.”

“I can share all these experiences with you.”

Ning Yong and Ning Chen exchanged glances, seeing the joy in each other’s eyes.

“That’s fantastic!” Ning Yong cheered.

Ning Chen stood up, his face solemn, and bowed deeply to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo immediately stood up and smiled as he helped him up.

Seeing this, Ning Yong also hurriedly bowed and expressed his gratitude.

“We’ve been classmates for over a decade and have experienced life and death together; there’s no need for this formality.” Ning Zhuo laughed heartily, “Let’s go. Follow me into the house. We’ll go to the cultivation secret room where I’ll personally instruct you.”

The three entered the main house’s cultivation secret room.

“This is the family’s main secret room, mostly used by my grandfather, then my father. I rarely get a chance to use it.” Ning Yong sighed, “A Zhuo, it seems your uncle treats you quite well.”

Ning Chen chuckled lightly, “This must be your uncle’s recent change! If the harsh treatment were just rumors, it wouldn’t have gone on throughout the decade of school life, right?”

Ning Zhuo smiled, not confirming or denying, “My uncle has a secret mission and recently went out to handle it. That’s why I could use this secret room.”

This was the unified external explanation.

The matter regarding Ning Xiaoren had not blown up and was contained among a few people.

On one hand, Ning Xiaoren knew it was his own setup and wouldn’t broadcast it. On the other hand, Ning Ze valued his reputation and wouldn’t reveal it either. Lastly, Ning Ze had no motivation to expose this scandal. Wang Lan and Ning Ji were busy keeping the secret; they wouldn’t advertise it.

Ning Zhuo let the two sit down.

The two were also members of the renovation team. They took out their meditation cushions from their storage bags and began to breathe in and out the spiritual energy.

Ning Zhuo circled around them, starting with acupuncture.

They also brought Sharp Advance Needles and Ice Light Strong Pulse Talismans.

They used their own set of Sharp Advance Needles, but Ning Zhuo used both some of their Ice Light Strong Pulse Talismans and some of his own.

This was a layer of camouflage, a precautionary measure.
