Random Recommendation:

“Add money?” Zhu Xuanji laughed heartily. “That’s easy to talk about!”

However, when Zheng Shuanggou quoted the specific number of spirit stones, Zhu Xuanji’s expression changed.

His expression was astonished, his eyes conveying, “Are you serious?”

Thus, the second negotiation broke down due to Zheng Shuanggou’s exorbitant price. They could only postpone it, saying they needed to consider it further, and agreed on a specific time for the third negotiation.

“These local cultivation families…” Zhu Xuanji gnashed his teeth inwardly.

His pressure had increased exponentially after the recruitment order.

More and more cultivators were pouring into Fire Persimmon Immortal City, and the City Lord’s Mansion had successfully “recruited” several Golden Core cultivators with profound attainments in the art of mechanisms.

These Golden Core cultivators entered the Lava Immortal Palace, cooperating closely and catching up to Zhu Xuanji with great strides.

The gap between them was rapidly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhu Xuanji knew very well that this was actually the Meng family’s ploy, attracting reinforcements in this way to help Meng Kui compete for the Lava Immortal Palace.

The Meng family needed the Lava Immortal Palace to get their hands on the entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

Zhu Xuanji’s plan was to recall the lost Golden Core mechanical puppet, the Demon General.

And through the Root Tracing Decision, he saw that the Demon General mechanism was lost deep within Fire Persimmon Mountain. That was the royal court of the Lava Demon Ape herd, with a Golden Core-level Demon Ape King, and he couldn’t rule out the possibility of other Golden Core-level Demon Apes.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Xuanji alone could never retrieve the puppet Demon General.

Therefore, he negotiated with the Zhou family, Zheng family, and Ning family to borrow the power of five Golden Core cultivators to jointly venture deep into Fire Persimmon Mountain, forcibly attack the Lava Demon Ape’s lair, and retrieve the mechanical puppet Demon General.

The first negotiation failed, and the second negotiation also suffered a setback…

Zhu Xuanji was a divine constable, and after pondering alone for a while, he realized, “The three Golden Core families are stalling for time.”

“After all, venturing deep into Fire Persimmon Mountain with me is a life-threatening endeavor.”

“They want to confirm whether they have a chance on another path. If the opportunity is significant, they will not agree to risk their lives with me.”

“Looking at it this way, the three families’ modification teams must have big plans.”

Zhou Family.

Underground Hall.

All members of the three families’ modification teams were gathered together, listening carefully to Zheng Hua imparting the “Ghost Martial Divine Weapon Forging Art” to them.

“Remember, running this cultivation method will sever thirty percent of your own soul. During this period, you will experience extremely intense pain.”

“Our clan has prepared corresponding pills for you. If you can’t bear it, you can swallow one to alleviate the pain.”

“But I don’t recommend you do so.”

“Because the severe pain proves the close connection between souls. Maintaining this connection is very helpful for forging Ghost Martial weapons in the future.”

“But if you take the pills, it will greatly weaken this connection. Even if the Ghost Martial weapon is created, it will not be as perfectly aligned with our own bodies.”

“Of course, you should still take the medicine when necessary.”

“If you faint from the pain, the consequences will be even more serious.”

Zheng Hua explained in detail and took out his own Ghost Martial weapon to show everyone.

Afterward, he asked a Zheng family modification team cultivator to sever his soul and expend soul power to condense his own Ghost Martial weapon in public.

After everyone understood and mastered this special forging method, some people began to forge their weapons.

“It hurts, oh my heavens!” The first person to try, under the gaze of countless eyes, stubbornly refused to take medicine.

As a result, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted directly. Fortunately, Zheng Hua and others were closely monitoring him from the side. Seeing the situation was not good, they had already stepped in beforehand.

The cultivator who had fainted was quickly stabilized by their treatment, and his life was not affected by the backlash.

Seeing the living example before them, the bloody lesson, the remaining modification team cultivators chose a conservative strategy.

As soon as they really couldn’t bear it, they would swallow the pills directly.

“Ahhhh!” Ning Yong shouted, his voice hoarse, but he stubbornly refused to take medicine.

Conversely, after slightly experiencing the pain of soul separation, Ning Chen immediately moved his throat and swallowed the pill that was pressed under his tongue. Ning Zhuo carefully pondered the essence and did not move.

He looked at the other geniuses.

Zheng Jian was a member of the Zheng family and had already used the Ghost Martial Divine Weapon Forging Art. He publicly displayed a bow and arrow Ghost Martial weapon.

Zhou Zhu and Zhou Zeshen successively ran the cultivation method. Zhou Zhu groaned, while Zhou Zeshen frowned and his face contorted.

Both of them endured and did not take medicine.

Ning Xiaohui looked at Ning Zhuo and sneered, “How long are you going to wait? Are you afraid? Ning Zhuo.”

Ning Zhuo smiled, “You are a member of the Ning family’s main line, and I am just a branch line. Of course, I have to give way first. Otherwise,

you will lose to me again, wouldn’t that be a disgrace to the entire main line?”

Being ridiculed by Ning Zhuo like this, Ning Xiaohui laughed heartily this time.

She publicly revealed a Ghost Sword: “Open your dog eyes wide and see clearly, what is this.”

Seeing this scene, Zhou Zeshen’s pupils shrank, further confirming that the Ning family and Zheng family were very close and had already cooperated in advance.

Ning Zhuo was slightly stunned, then scoffed, “You got the forging art in advance, but you only cared about using it yourself and forgot about all our other modification team members.

“You secretly refined it and secretly swallowed the pills, and no one would know. Wonderful, you did a good job with this.”

Ning Xiaohui was so angry that her face turned pale, “Presumptuous, you are just a branch line, yet you dare to slander the main line at will.”

Ning Zhuo, “Then prove to everyone that you didn’t secretly take medicine when you forged the Ghost Martial weapon.”

Ning Xiaohui was about to refute, but Ning Xie finally couldn’t listen anymore: “Enough, there’s no need to argue about this. Ning Zhuo, why aren’t you running the cultivation method yet?”

“Perhaps, you need me to give you a hand?”

Ning Zhuo laughed and stopped talking nonsense, publicly urging the forging art.

His body trembled slightly, and thirty percent of his soul was severed, causing excruciating pain, but on the surface, he only frowned, his eyes remained firm, without the slightest wavering.

“I succeeded, I succeeded.” □ “Look at my Ghost Martial Hammer, uh, why is it so small?” (01)

“I clearly wanted to make a sharp sword, but how did I get a small knife?”

Zheng Jian, Zheng Hua, and others witnessed the results of various Ghost Martial weapon forging, and their expressions remained unchanged, as they had expected.

This cultivation method required severing thirty percent of the soul essence and then expending soul power to condense and forge the Ghost Martial weapon.

If the cultivator’s soul was not strong enough and the soul power was weak, the Ghost Martial weapon created would be much smaller than planned.

“Huh?”

“What’s going on?”

“Ning Zhuo, you, you, you…” Ning Zhuo’s forging was successful, and a Ghost Axe was floating in front of him. This axe was extremely large,

it was as if a door had been torn down…

Such a huge Ghost Axe formed a sharp contrast with the miniature Ghost Martial weapons of the surrounding people.

Zheng Jian’s and Ning Xiaohui’s Ghost Martial weapons were instantly overshadowed. Their Ghost Martial weapons were only normal in size.

“Brother Zhuo is mighty!” Ning Yong was the first to cheer.

Soon, the cultivators of the Ning family’s branch line laughed loudly, genuinely happy and celebrating for Ning Zhuo from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhou Zeshen looked at the normal-sized Soul Fan in his hand and couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Ning, why is your soul so vast and profound?”

“Thanks to the contribution of the Soul Devouring Sect cultivators.” Ning Zhuo certainly did not say what was in his heart, but simply said, “I have only gradually realized recently – every time after exploring the Immortal Palace, the soul is consumed, but when

Golden Blood War Ape – Yuan Dasheng stopped moving. The arrows pierced by eight lightning-entwined, eight-foot-long arrows were like spears, deeply embedded in the floor tiles, fixing Yuan Dasheng in place.

Yuan Dasheng struggled, but the result was that he was convulsing from the strong current, and broken mechanical parts were leaking from the wounds on his body.

“Suc-, succeeded.”

“Hahaha, I didn’t expect it to be a one-hit kill.”

“The Thunderbolt Crossbow is really great. Although it can only shoot once, it is extremely powerful and really worth the money.”

Everyone cheered.

“Quick, quickly take down the mechanical ape.”

“Don’t let the current destroy the interior, we need to collect more information.”

Several cultivators hurried forward.

Boom…
