The head of the Ning family was quite curious about the sudden appearance of Ning Zhuo. After checking the numerous people, he said with some relief: "It turns out that Ning Zhuo has already shown his talent for organs."

The first piece of information is as follows: Ning Zhuo’s mother, Meng Yaoyin, was a mechanism monk. Although she died very early, she left many classics on mechanism techniques to Ning Zhuo. Ning Zhuo regarded these classics as his mother

I cherish these relics very much. I often fell asleep holding these classics when I was a child. As I grew up, I was influenced by these classics.

When Ning Zhuo was a child, he began to show a strong interest in mechanism art. He often went in and out of Salesian Kindergarten to watch Li Leifeng's puppet shows.

The Salesian Kindergarten is an orphanage that takes in homeless children in the Fire Persimmon City. It is jointly funded by the city lord's palace and various large households in the city.

This is a national policy of Nandou Country.

Li Leifeng is the director of the Salesian Kindergarten. He possesses the Thunder Spirit Root and is also a mechanism monk. The mechanism tower he built can absorb thunder and lightning from the outside and turn it into power to maintain the operation of the mechanism tower without consuming any spiritual power. Wait until

When facing an enemy, the power is stored in the tower, and lightning will burst out, like a chain whip, locking the enemy in place and constantly electrocuting and roasting them.

"Mr. Li's puppet show is indeed a masterpiece." Seeing this, the head of the Ning family sighed sincerely.

He has watched many puppet shows by Li Leifeng and was amazed!

Perhaps influenced by Li Leifeng, Ning Zhuo has been fond of puppets and such toys since he was a child. The dolls he often plays with are one-wheel, two-legged and three-haired dolls.

When he entered the family school, he was most interested in machine arts, and he was diligent in studying and asking questions. As a result, he was too busy to take care of himself, and other subjects became worse and worse.

It was not until he was ten years old that his performance in various subjects gradually improved, and he gradually ranked in the upper middle class in school.

The Ning family values ​​talismans. Naturally, Ning Zhuo's uncle and aunt didn't want him to go astray and ruin his future, so they strictly disciplined him. There were three big baskets of smashed machine dolls.

But although Ning Zhuo was suppressed on the surface, he still seized every opportunity inland to study machine skills. He would even take the initiative to work as a child laborer in some machine workshops, even if he didn't get paid. For him, being able to come into contact with machine creations was

What a happy thing.

Perhaps because of persistence and love, Ning Zhuo's mechanical skills have been growing.

When he was fifteen years old, Ning Zhuo made a mechanical parrot that surpassed the standards of all his classmates. An elder in the school accidentally saw it and praised it on the spot.

But Ning Zhuo, who was originally slightly anticipated by some family elders, performed abnormally in the family exam.

"He's too nervous!" The head of the Ning family looked at the jade slip and sighed.

What is contained in the jade slips is the specific scene of the family examination of Ning Zhuo's term.

"Yes." Ning Xiaoren agreed, "At that time, the lifting thread was accidentally knotted, but Ning Zhuo didn't see it. When it was about to take action, the lifting thread became entangled, leaving Ning Zhuo no room to perform."

"If I were the invigilator, I would definitely be accommodating and let Ning Zhuo retake the exam."

The head of the Ning family shook his head: "The elder who invigilated the exam did not make any mistakes. According to the rules, candidates should check more before the exam. If this happens, Ning Zhuo should be responsible."

While the father and son were discussing, a servant came to report: Feng Jiqing is here.

"Invite him in." The head of the Ning family nodded.

Feng Jiqing is a middle-aged man with squinted eyes, long blue hair, tall and thin body, and carries a windmill-like knife wheel on his back.

Feng Jiqing has the root of wind spirit and has a mastery of mechanical skills. Although he is not an orthodox mechanical monk, the mechanical wind falcon he made and controlled is as fast as lightning, and his attacks are as sharp as the wind.

After the Ning family failed to attract high-end customers, they have never stopped attracting external talents.

Until recently, the Ning family continued to increase their efforts and finally recruited Feng Jiqing. He is the greatest result of the Ning family's recruitment of talents with foreign surnames so far.

"Clan Leader, Young Clan Leader." Feng Jiqing bowed his hands in salute, his waist straight. He was at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment. He was well aware of the market conditions of the organization cultivators. He relied on his own worth and had a normal attitude toward the two senior leaders of the Ning family.

Ning Xiaoren, the young patriarch, smiled and said: "Master Feng, I invite you here this time because I want you to identify these two mechanisms, the Hot Monkey, and evaluate the creation. What are the mechanical accomplishments of the person who created it?"

Regarding the fact that Ning Zhuo was the inventor of the explosive monkey, the father and son of the Ning family did not want to leak it out too quickly.

On the one hand, Ning Xiaoren also wanted to fake his own image by pretending not to know, so that Ning Zhuo could feel his "full sincerity".

On the other hand, the matter of the agency's fiery monkey is related to Fei Si after all. If it is leaked, Fei Si will be in trouble. The Ning family does not want to offend Fei Si.

The latter, as the immortal official who actually handles the most daily affairs in Fire Persimmon City, has great power and is not easy to mess with.

The two people's concealment inadvertently caused some misunderstandings for Feng Jiqing. He couldn't help but guess: "Does the Ning family want to pay a lot of money to hire Chen Cha?"

Of course, Feng Jiqing didn't want this to happen, so he kept calm and began to detect the two explosive monkeys.

One of the two mechanism monkeys is exquisite in workmanship and uses solid materials, and is the previous version. The other is shoddy and has been damaged a lot, and is a specially revised version after Ning Zhuo.

Feng Jiqing inspected it and said: "The main material of monkey skin is tinder rat skin, woven with traditional spiritual embroidery. There is no need to mention traditional craftsmanship."

"It is necessary to use Tianjin as the skeleton, because when it comes to arranging storage arrays, Tianjin is usually the best option."

"But if it were me, I would go one step further and choose the empty lungs of the Cloud Whale. In this way, the array can store living things. The current one can only store dead things."

"The Mechanical Fiery Monkey was designed to pick fire persimmons. Although the fire persimmon can be regarded as a fire spirit to a certain extent, it is essentially life and the fruit of the fire persimmon tree. Place it on a living thing

The reserve formation space is more suitable for them and can ensure a better taste for them."

Feng Jiqing only talked about the advantages of his plan and never mentioned the rarity of cloud whales' empty lungs.

"The materials used for the body of the Mechanical Fiery Monkey are pretty good." One of the biggest highlights was easily overshadowed by Feng Jiqing.

"There are many formations in the palm of my hand, and the matching method is relatively new, which is quite good." When Feng Jiqing has to praise, he will try to use as few words as possible.

"The walking projectile in the monkey's brain is, in my opinion, the most eye-catching part of this mechanism's design."

Feng Jiqing quickly praised and then immediately changed his mind.

"However, although such material selection will save a lot of costs, it cannot be used except during the foundation building period, which greatly limits the number of buyers."

"Without this shortcoming, the sales of Hot Monkey would have increased several times, or even more than ten times."

"This design is flawed." Feng Jiqing concluded.

The head of the Ning family and Ning Xiaoren looked at each other. The former did not speak, and the latter asked: "Is an institution's accomplishments like a designer considered strong?"

Among all the arts of cultivation, the mechanism is at the bottom.

The father and son are not involved in this, and since they have always been at the top of the family, they are either involved in many affairs or intrigues all day long, and it is difficult to grasp the hot-tempered monkey.

In fact, it was difficult for them to evaluate the pros and cons of even a brand-new elixir recipe, let alone the mechanism technique.

They are not alchemists, nor do they specialize in mechanism techniques.

Fortunately, in ancient times, there were not many foundation-building monks. Families were generally weaker than sects, and cultivation countries were extremely rare. In the first half of history, they were almost all short-lived.

However, since the development of cultivation, the various arts of cultivation have become extensive and profound. For most monks, every other line is like a mountain.

Feng Jiqing muttered: "Chen Cha has been running the Frisbee workshop for many years before he finally managed to create such a mechanical creation."

"It's quite rare."

"There is some ingenuity in this mechanical creation, but not much. Even if the sales are booming now, the fire persimmon picking business will definitely be bleak next year, and the use will be narrow."

"Taking it all together, this mechanism creation is considered average, slightly above average."

"As for the people who make the institutions, I won't comment too much."

Ning Xiaoren, the head of the Ning family, looked at each other again.

The former thought: "Feng Jiqing is a foundation-building monk with a medium rating. He is a huge compliment to Ning Zhuo who is in the Qi refining stage."

The latter was even more determined to win over Ning Zhuo.

at the same time.

Salesian Kindergarten.

Zhu Xuanji hid his figure and entered the garden.

An old man was basking in the sun in the garden. Suddenly he frowned and looked at the invisible Zhu Xuanji: "Who is that person?!"

Zhu Xuanji was stunned for a moment, and immediately revealed his figure.

He pinched his fingers, his eyes flashed with golden light, and he activated a certain detection spell to observe his surroundings.

"I see. Electricity is flowing in the small courtyard here, and there is an invisible lightning potential difference. As long as I step in, the potential difference will be formed by you, and it will be sensed by you."

Zhu Xuanji praised and stamped his feet.

A small thunder exploded under his feet, blowing up a layer of soil and exposing the bricks inside. The runes on the bricks were easily dazzled at first glance.

This kind of bricks are laid under the ground every short distance, and they are not formed in a formation at all.

It was precisely because of the lack of formation that it was difficult for Zhu Xuanji to grasp and be alert. This was the first time since he entered the Fire Persimmon Immortal City that his whereabouts had been revealed.

"It turns out to be Mr. Zhu Xuanji, please sit down." The old man was still lying on the chair, motionless.

Zhu Xuanji had appeared in public in Huoshi Fairy City before, and the whole city had already known about it.

The strange thing is that the old man is only in the foundation building stage, and only in the early stage of foundation building, but when faced with a golden elixir like Zhu Xuanji, his attitude is very casual.

Zhu Xuanji didn't feel offended at all. He came to the old man's side and said with a smile: "Senior Li Leifeng, this junior has heard of your name a long time ago and came here specifically to see you."

The old man Li Leifeng snorted coldly: "It depends on me, old man. It's too late for Zhu Shen to catch you."

"You say you want to take a look, but actually you want to verify whether I am the black shadow demon cultivator?"

Zhu Xuanji smiled awkwardly.

Li Leifeng sighed: "I have lived for such a long time and have seen a lot of things. Master Zhu, there is no harm in checking."

Zhu Xuanji cupped his hands and said, "I'm offended."
