Chapter 232: Chapter 220: Blood Path Diagram Plate
Ever since Yang Chanyu had dual cultivated with Ning Zhuo, she had been hiding in a corner of Fire Persimmon Immortal City, moving locations every so often.
Not only did she not leave, but she also entered the Magma Fairy Palace more frequently, crazily earning contributions, becoming one of the strong competitors right behind Zhu Xuanji.
When the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit introduced the enemy situation to Ning Zhuo, it also included Yang Chanyu.
Sun Lingtong’s proactive appearance took Yang Chanyu by surprise.
“You actually came to find me personally, hehe, there must be something urgent where you need my help.”
Sun Lingtong chuckled: “I came this time to propose a collaboration, a big money-making opportunity. Are you interested?”
Yang Chanyu was of course interested and immediately inquired further.
However, Sun Lingtong could not fully disclose the entire plan, only revealing a part of it.
This made Yang Chanyu feel very dissatisfied and wary.
“Sun Lingtong, what are you up to?”
“I need to know the full plan, or I won’t easily get involved.”
“I’m not someone who can be easily deceived.”
“Without knowing the entire plan, are you planning to use me as a pawn?”
Sun Lingtong chuckled, sweet-talking, trying his best to persuade her.
But Yang Chanyu just sneered, showing no signs of being moved.
Forced into a corner, Sun Lingtong had no choice but to back down: “Alright then, we can sign an oath.”
“Since you’re not reassured, we can settle an agreement, can’t we?”
Yang Chanyu still shook her head.
“Our Bukong Sect is best at making false oaths or finding loopholes in them.”
“You saying this just shows even more lack of sincerity.”
“You want sincerity?” Sun Lingtong bit his lip, eyes firm.
“Alright, I’ll promise you. After the matter in the Magma Fairy Palace is settled, I’ll go back to the Bukong Sect with you!”
These words immediately made Yang Chanyu’s expression change subtly.
Yang Chanyu seriously scrutinized Sun Lingtong: “What kind of major event is this? What benefits are involved for you to make such a promise to me?”
“Sun Lingtong, you should know, saying these words means what?”
Sun Lingtong’s small face was full of stern seriousness, he bit his lip, then relaxed, spreading his hands, chuckling: “Going back together to see your master means I might very well die!”
His eyes became even more determined: “But I seek fortune and glory through peril, this time I am risking death to gamble big!”
“So, I am betting this time.”
“You wanted sincerity, this is my sincerity.”
“We both have marriage contracts.”
“My promise is linked to marriage, you should be at ease now.”
Yang Chanyu was silent for a moment, then nodded: “Of course, I am reassured by this. Alright, tell me the specifics of the action?”
…
The puppet Ning Zhuo exerted force with both hands, pushing open the third demon gate.
The third gate’s challenge was peculiar.
Cultivators within it operated the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique, and the challenge rewarded matching quality Blood Path Diagram Plates based on their performance.
Ning Zhuo, at the peak of the ninth level of demonic cultivation, though a puppet body, had accumulated considerable blood energy from earlier challenges.
At this moment, he chose a blank, smooth Blood Path Diagram Plate, directly infusing all his blood energy into it.
Don’t be fooled by the small size of the Blood Path Diagram Plate, its capacity to hold blood energy was exceptionally high.
Ning Zhuo’s blood energy, all infused into the Blood Path Diagram Plate, was far from reaching its limit.
He followed the complete cultivation technique of the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique, layer by layer urging it.
Each time Ning Zhuo completed a layer, the operation route of the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique engraved on the Blood Path Diagram Plate, showing a layer of blood path patterns similar to array patterns.
When he pushed the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique to the eighth layer stage, his blood energy was depleted.
The Blood Path Diagram Plate he obtained had densely packed blood path patterns on its surface. Layer upon layer, like an array placed using overlapping arrays technique.
Ning Zhuo sighed inwardly.
“My mastery of the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique still needs improvement. It’s far from being as reflexive as the Five Elements Generating Technique! The Blood Path Diagram Plate I made is hardly of excellent standard!”
“On the other hand, the total amount of blood energy I possess is also a crucial factor.”
It was obvious, if there was more ample blood energy, even if Ning Zhuo was not so skilled in the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique, he could ultimately engrave the Blood Path Diagram Plate to the ninth layer of the demonic cultivation.
“How can I obtain more blood energy?”
Ning Zhuo quickly reviewed the previous challenges and rooms.
“Every demonic puppet with blood energy on their bodies, I can take their blood energy for my use.”
“Indeed, some puppets were wasted by me.”
“Besides that, in the prepping room, blood energy could also be purchased with spirit stones.”
This part of the blood energy, Ning Zhuo previously used as material for making mechanical puppets.
Now, he discovered another use for blood energy.
“Finally, there are the rewards on the Five Pillar Stone rankings.”
Ning Zhuo remembered in the rankings, one reward in the refining energy list was blood energy, which was not an option in other lists.
Merely obtaining this one plate with only an eighth layer of cultivation was unsatisfactory for Ning Zhuo.
He glanced at the portal ahead, pondering for a moment, and directly turned back, reopening the door he arrived through.
Another cheat tactic.
He activated the Buddha Heart Demon Seal, returning to the third transit hall.
Now Ning Zhuo, mastered the complete Life-hanging Divine Ability. When he activated and linked to the Buddha Heart Demon Seal’s power, the loss of the magical treasure’s power during the transfer process on the Life Hanging Thread had reduced to a tenth of the previous.
