Chapter 575: Chapter 155: Can’t Hold It Anymore_2

“Ning Zhuo has some tricks up his sleeve!”

“Next, it’s the Three-Quotes Qi-Breaking Small Spell. If this fails again, the entire Great Spell will ultimately benefit Ning Zhuo.”

The Demon Cultivator elder felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart.

Once the Great Spell is cast, it cannot be stopped midway.

Ning Zhuo and Liu Er’s lifespans will be closely connected due to this Great Spell, akin to a life-and-death struggle. The loser loses everything, while the winner takes all!

The elder’s eyes bulged, sweat dripping from his forehead, as a terrifying suspicion emerged in his mind.

“Could it be that my observation of lifespans has also dragged me into this, causing me to act rashly in anger, eventually implicating Xiao Liu, and aiding Ning Zhuo’s success?”

Lifespans are not so easy to observe.

For the Demon Cultivator elder, every observation requires the use of a treasure, not to mention a great cost.

Once observed, it also means that Ning Zhuo’s lifespan has sensed it. Every move of the Demon Cultivator elder will be countered by Ning Zhuo’s lifespan.

“No, absolutely not!”

“I am here to help Xiao Liu, not to add to his difficulties.”

The Demon Cultivator elder took a deep breath, his expression resolute.

The third Small Spell is extremely crucial.

There can be no failures!

With a strong sense of determination, the elder pulled various treasures from his Storage Waist Belt—Nascent Soul Level and even Divinity Transformation Level!

He used these treasures to begin a new setup.

This was his all-out effort in casting the Great Spell!

Arrays, Talismans… these were engraved on the surrounding rocks, trees, and even floating in mid-air.

If Lingtong were to see this scene, he would probably drool.

These treasures were too precious and rare, extremely expensive on the market, and for Nascent Soul Cultivators, stealing a third could make one rich.

Without a doubt, it was an astounding fortune!

“Hmm?” The Demon Cultivator elder’s fingers paused slightly, sensing that Ning Zhuo’s arm’s lifespan had surged once again.

The elder felt a chill in his heart, “Fortunately, I did not rush, and delayed the Three-Quotes Qi-Breaking Small Spell. Otherwise, with this progress, I might repeat the same mistakes!”

The Demon Cultivator elder, as Liu Er’s teacher, was very cautious.

After failing twice in a row, he decisively adjusted his strategy.

This adjustment was quite effective and allowed him to avoid a catastrophe.

“It’s not over yet!”

“I have seen through your tricks. This time I will go all out, spending a large part of my fortune, and I am sure to succeed!”

Elsewhere.

Ning Zhuo’s face was as still as water, feeling the Mechanical Ring on his finger expanding and contracting regularly.

It was a continuous warning!

“Things are not looking good, boss,” Ning Zhuo said to Sun Lingtong.

Sun Lingtong stared at the Mechanical Ring on his finger, “Xiao Zhuo, could your Mechanical Ring be malfunctioning? Can it really be trusted?”

Ning Zhuo extended his other hand and touched the surface of the Mechanical Ring with his fingers, his gaze firm and his tone resolute: “I trust it!”

His gaze sharp and cold, he pondered, “Before, I alleviated its warnings twice by using treasures to repair the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon.”

“The Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon is a valuable Mechanical Treasure, its repair enhances my strength.”

“That is to say, I have converted the treasures into my own strength, thus turning crises into safety.”

“The Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon has been repaired. Now, I should find other methods to significantly boost my strength. That way, I should be able to resolve the crisis.”

Sun Lingtong distrusted the Mechanical Ring, yet had an absolute trust in Ning Zhuo.

“Since you say so, Xiao Zhuo, what are we waiting for?”

“Let’s go back to Canglin Immortal City and buy whatever we see, turning our wealth into our strength!”

The two immediately took action.

The Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon, bolstered heavily by funds, was now repaired, and after shuttling through the void, brought the two back to Canglin Immortal City.

Canglin Immortal City housed a huge market. The market was extremely prosperous, selling Magic Artifacts, Magic Treasures, Talismans, Elixir Pills… a wide and dazzling variety.

Usually, there would not be so many offerings.

This is because Liangzhu Country had turned this place into a massive rear base, organizing the country’s resources to build this temporary and abnormally prosperous Big Market.

Ning Zhuo walked past many shops and finally entered a Mechanical Artifacts shop.

As he entered the shop, he saw many samples of Mechanical Artifacts.

In preparation for the battle in Thousand Peak Forest, most of the wares sold were large war machines, including Bed Crossbows, War Chariots, catapults, and battering rams, among others.

Ning Zhuo glanced briefly at these and did not linger.

The store owner hurried over and bowed to Ning Zhuo: “Military Adviser Ning, greetings.”

Ning Zhuo, having returned triumphant alongside Liu, Guan, and Zhang, was well-known by many.

For shops selling Mechanical Artifacts, they had investigated every army and every important figure’s information thoroughly.

Among these information, Ning Zhuo ranked very high.

His recent marriage to Mu Lan was still a secret. However, his role in the Three Generals Camp as a Military Adviser was widely known. More importantly, Ning Zhuo was in charge of the logistics for this army. He had always been responsible for the procurement of military supplies.

Thus, seeing Ning Zhuo, the store owner was very excited and eagerly anticipated this business transaction.

Ning Zhuo nodded slightly: “Your shop is the largest, do you have Mechanical Puppets?”

The store owner was stunned for a moment, then somewhat disappointed.

Not buying large war Mechanical Artifacts, but a few Mechanical Puppets to serve as personal soldiers—how profitable could that be?
