Immortal Creation
Chapter 124: A near miss
"Brother Ning!" Zheng Jian came to the gate of the Zheng family to greet Ning Zhuo in person.
This was Ning Zhuo's first official visit to the Zheng family.
The Zheng family's specifications were very grand, and the gate was directly opened. This alone was not easy, after all, Ning Zhuo was only in the Qi Refining Stage.
Not only that, the Zheng family also asked Zheng Jian to come out to receive him.
"Brother Zheng, thank you for bothering me." Ning Zhuo got off the carriage, and when he saw Zheng Jian, his expression was shocked, and then he showed a deep feeling of nostalgia, and there was an excitement of being respected so much.
Zheng Jian's injuries had not healed at this time, and almost his whole body was bandaged.
He laughed loudly: "Don't look at me like this, in fact, the injury has stabilized. How can I, a son of the Zheng family, neglect my friends because of a minor injury?"
"Come, I'll take you to the weapon refining room."
After the cooperation between the three families deepened, some facilities in their respective families were opened. For example, the talisman making room of the Ning family, several magic arrays of the Zhou family, and the weapon refining room of the Zheng family.
The most popular one is, of course, the Zhou family's Jusan Ruyi Lingxi Formation. Those who have used it say it's good. It's now overcrowded, and every cultivator who applies to use it has been ranked.
The second is the Zheng family's weapon refining room.
Many facilities of the Zheng and Zhou families are better than the city lord's mansion.
When the Huoshi Immortal City was built, the Nandou Dynasty spent most of the money, and the Zhou and Zheng families also made huge contributions.
So, after the city was built, the two families got two of the best plots, and were in charge of the two formation pillars of the formation, and obtained the most favorable conditions in some aspects.
The Zhou family has the most ample space for array layout and more room for free play. The Zheng family has the most abundant high-quality earth flame, which is convenient for them to refine weapons.
From the overall situation, this is a game between local forces and the central government of the court.
...
There is a constant flow of people on the street.
Yuan Dasheng walked with difficulty and lowered his head.
It did not move even when it bumped into pedestrians along the way.
Some people were knocked to the ground by it, but they didn't want to cause trouble. At most, they grumbled a few words and left in a huff.
After all, after Yuan Dasheng wore the Cang Tie Han Jia, he was tall and strong, and exuded the aura of foundation building. Looking at his expressionless face, he exuded a strong aura of grief, and he was not easy to mess with at first glance!
...
Under the leadership of Zheng Jian, Ning Zhuo came to a refining room.
Ning Zhuo looked around and praised repeatedly.
The facilities in the refining room were excellent and complete, with many tools. Ning Zhuo saw it for the first time. He had only seen it in books before.
The development of the hundred arts of cultivation has become quite professional in all walks of life. Unlike in ancient times, the threshold of the hundred arts was relatively low. A cultivator could refine both elixirs and tools with an elixir furnace. Today's elixir furnaces are subdivided into different uses, specifically for refining elixirs, tools, etc.
Zheng Jian handed over a jade slip: "We have a lot of materials in our Zheng family. It's an exaggeration to say that we have everything, but it's definitely far more than what's available on the market."
"As long as it's in this jade slip, Brother Ning can use it."
"According to the contract between our three families, the materials consumed will be converted according to the market price, and finally counted into the consumption share of each family."
At this point, Zheng Jian took out another jade slip: "The materials here are my private share given to me by the family. Brother Ning can also use it."
This is an obvious gesture of goodwill.
Ning Zhuo smiled and took it generously: "Thank you, Brother Zheng."
"If Brother Zheng is not busy, why don't you stay? This time, I'm going to use the noble refining room to refine some mechanical parts." Ning Zhuo said.
"This is the mechanical drawing designed by me. Brother Zheng, please correct me." Ning Zhuo took the initiative to hand over a jade slip.
Zheng Jian was very surprised. After knowing that Ning Zhuo accepted his family's kindness, he immediately returned the favor.
"Brother Ning can design the mechanical fire monkey, so I shouldn't show off my mechanical attainments. Brother Ning, please be generous and let me appreciate your new work." Zheng Jian immediately took the jade slip.
He himself was not very interested in mechanical arts, but it was related to the competition for the Lava Fairy Palace, and Ning Zhuo had shown amazing mechanical talent before, which made Zheng Jian have to look at this new mechanical drawing.
He unfolded it and found that it was a mechanical monkey.
He looked carefully and found that this mechanical monkey was no longer used to pick fire persimmons, but was obviously used for fighting.
The more Zheng Jian looked, the more his eyes lit up. For a while, he was immersed in the drawings and didn't say a word.
Ning Zhuo didn't care about him, walked straight to the corner, picked up the tools, and started to blow the fire and ignite the furnace.
...
Yuan Dasheng was passing the west gate of the Fire Persimmon Fairy City and walking into the wild.
The pedestrians around him quickly decreased.
It stepped into the wilderness and forests west of the Fire Persimmon Mountain step by step. Although its back was strong, it gave people a strong sense of loneliness and sadness.
Finally, it stopped in a wilderness. It sat on an inconspicuous hill, staring blankly at everything around it, the sky, and the clouds.
…
Ning Zhuo exhaled a breath of turbid air, carefully turned his wrist, and poured the melted rotten silver into the mold.
Zheng Jian immediately took action, using the magic formula to quickly spread the rotten silver and fill all corners of the mold.
Ning Zhuo put his palm on the wall and activated the magic circle.
Suddenly, a cold current gushed down from the roof, cooling the hot mold instantly and freezing it into an ice cube.
Zheng Jian waved his hand to dispel the cold, and then took out a strange-shaped mechanical part.
This is the last piece.
With the help of Zheng's weapon refining room and Zheng Jian, a genius monk who is proficient in weapon refining, Ning Zhuo completed the creation of all the mechanical parts. It took much less time than Ning Zhuo had planned.
The next step is to assemble and combine them.
No surprises, after the successful assembly, an eight-foot-tall monkey skeleton appeared in front of the two.
Zheng Jian said: "Just looking at this skeleton, there are more than a hundred movable joints. The mechanical monkey must be very flexible, but this also tests the monk's control ability. Many people may not be able to exert the full power of this mechanism."
Ning Zhuo said: "This is what I designed for myself. It is deliberately made like this, so that I can have a lot of room for improvement in practicing the skills of controlling mechanical creations."
"Okay, next we have to set up the formation."
"Then, install the formation plate and so on."
"Filling the body and so on should be put in the back."
Zheng Jian nodded with a happy look on his face: "Follow your plan, brother Ning, I will help you."
Although he was injured, he had to participate in the whole process. On the one hand, Ning Zhuo's accomplishments in mechanical engineering can be observed most directly, and on the other hand, this also gave him a good exercise to improve his own accomplishments in mechanical engineering.
After two days and one night, the task was completed.
"Why don't you stay at my house for a night? It won't be too late to leave tomorrow morning." Zheng Jian persuaded him to stay.
He participated in the whole process and gained a lot. He experienced the excitement and fun of mechanical engineering and said frankly: "Brother Ning, I can't wait to talk with you all night long!"
Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly and pointed at the bandages all over Zheng Jian's body.
The previously snow-white bandages had been stained with blood in many places and a lot of black ash.
"Brother Zheng, you should take good care of your injuries."
"I am very grateful for your full assistance this time. If you stay any longer, the nobles will have opinions."
"There will be a chance in the future, we can chat to our heart's content!"
Zheng Jian laughed: "Well, well."
"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you."
"In a few days, our three families will carry out a joint operation, and you are needed to lead."
"The injured ones of us can't come."
Although the geniuses of the three families can still enter the fairy palace with their souls, their physical injuries require their souls to stay in the body at all times during the recovery period.
Otherwise, the new body will easily grow crooked and cannot be perfectly matched with the soul. It will cause many obstacles to future practice and reduce the efficiency of practice. Over time, this kind of damage will accumulate and become unacceptable.
As night fell, Ning Zhuo left the Zheng family by car.
There was no curfew in Huoshi Xiancheng, and Yuan Dasheng also entered the city.
Before Ning Zhuo arrived at the family residence, it had sneaked into Ning Ze's house and quietly waited for Ning Zhuo's return.
As Ning Zhuo had guessed before, emotions will dissipate.
The more intense the emotions, the less sustainable they are.
After Yuan Dasheng sat in the wild for two days and one night, his emotions receded like a tide, and the exposed spirit obeyed the command again and acted according to the order.
However, the sadness still existed, as if a heavy gray cloth was covered on the spirit.
Ning Zhuo controlled Yuan Dasheng, and he was no longer as obedient as before.
"According to the records in "Spirit Theory", after the long period of spirit, it is the spirit movement period."
"Ten percent of spirit, self-sufficiency has been achieved. Yuan Dasheng is no longer in the long period of spirit, but in the spirit movement period."
"So-called spirit movement, is such an uncontrolled activity?"
"Once the emotions arise again, I will lose control of it again!"
Ning Zhuo doesn't want to have such a bad experience again.
"There must be a way, there must be a way to solve this problem in the Lava Fairy Palace." Ning Zhuo said.
This problem must be solved as soon as possible.
"It is impossible for me to enter the Immortal Palace for no reason. There are too many people watching me."
"The best chance is the joint action of the three parties in a few days!"
