The arena is divided into three areas.

The two areas are manufacturing machinery areas, each belonging to the contestants.

The middle area is the agency combat area.

In front of Ning Zhuo, there was a long table with many materials placed on it.

Ning Zhuo quickly scanned these materials and found that they were all Qi refining levels, so low-end that he felt friendly.

They are fist gold, fire essence, ancient wood with spiritual patterns, large water droplets condensed with frost flowers, and charcoal-roasted clay. Finally, there is a medium-grade spiritual stone.

"Do you have the tools to make the mechanism?" Ning Zhuo had doubts in his mind.

He hasn't seen it yet.

Without manufacturing tools and all done by hand, the difficulty of making the mechanism is directly increased by ten times, and it doesn't stop there.

However, Ning Zhuo discovered that there were a large number of patterns on the table. This immediately reminded him of those operating tables in hospitals.

"Perhaps this is the same layout as those operating tables. There are many mechanical tools stored in the table."

Ning Zhuo wanted to test this conjecture, but found that he could not move. An invisible force was restraining him.

It wasn't until the announcement of the start of this round of palace examinations that this invisible force suddenly disappeared, allowing Ning Zhuo to move freely.

Ning Zhuo first looked directly in front of him, where his opponent should be.

It's blurry and can't be seen clearly.

Ning Zhuo took a few steps forward and came to the table. He stretched out his hand and touched the table, pouring his magic power into it. Sure enough, he took out many mechanical tools. There were welding torches, vise and so on.

After the guess was successfully verified, Ning Zhuo subconsciously glanced at the opposite side, but it was still blurry.

He ignored these and focused on checking the materials provided for the imperial examination.

There are pieces of fist gold one after another. At first glance, there are at least thirty pieces, and each piece resembles a clenched fist. This is where the name fist gold comes from.

Ning Zhuo knew clearly: This is a hard metal ore with high strength and durability.

"I can use it to build the skeleton of the machine doll."

The fist gold has been inspected and the quality is good or bad. It is the most common type on the market.

Ning Zhuo continued to check.

The second item is the fire essence.

This thing is one of the specialties of Fire Persimmon City. Ning Zhuo is the most familiar with it, and he is also the fastest to check it.

Ancient wood with spiritual patterns...

Ning Zhuo lifted up a large piece of ancient wood and placed it in front of him for observation.

Even though it was sawed off, this large piece of ancient wood still exudes a faint vitality.

The cross-section of the wood is covered with spiritual patterns.

Whenever a plant absorbs spiritual energy for a long time, it will produce this kind of spiritual pattern. The longer it takes, the more and more dense the spiritual patterns will be.

On the other hand, the more spiritual patterns there are, the higher the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy.

"This ancient tree must have been a spiritual plant before it was alive."

When Ning Zhuo inspected this material, he focused on its spiritual pattern distribution and direction.

"It can be used to store spiritual stones and build a way to transmit spiritual power. There is only one spiritual stone, so part of it must be retained to make the spirit gathering array!"

Ning Zhuo continued to check.

The large droplets of condensed frost flowers are as big as a basin.

The water drop is like a huge blue steamed bun, round. On the surface of the water drop, there are patches of frost flowers. These frost flowers are very large, comparable to the palm of an adult.

As Ning Zhuo's palm approached, the frost on the surface of the water droplets melted quickly.

"It can be used to make weapon parts, or to cool its own auxiliary parts." Ning Zhuo thought of two main application directions.

After that comes the charcoal grilled clay.

This clay is black and gray in color.

It will change dramatically with temperature.

When the temperature is high, it will become a hard solid. When the temperature is low, it will be sticky and can be easily shaped.

In addition, it has quite outstanding fire resistance.

Sometimes, it can also be used as coal to provide a burning substrate and accumulate heat for mechanical creations.

Finally, there is the only middle-grade spiritual stone.

“Mediocre quality.”

"Just one spirit stone is not enough to fight for a long time. Therefore, the spirit gathering array in the machine doll is a must."

"This spiritual stone can at most serve as a starting stone."

In the process of checking the materials, Ning Zhuo had already conceived many ideas.

Without rest, he raced against time and officially started refining.

The first step is to build the skeleton.

Ning Zhuo processes charcoal-baked clay.

He cools it down first so that the clay can be easily shaped.

With his skillful hands, he shaped a pile of clay into a deep-mouthed vessel, which stood on the table like a small towering well dug out.

Ning Zhuo took the welding torch and smelted the fist gold. The fist gold immediately turned into a pool of gold solution in the hot flames.

The flowing gold is stored in small wells shaped from charcoal-baked clay.

Ning Zhuo used the gold-gathering technique on him!

This spell comes from the trial level and can freely extract metal according to the monk's will.

Under normal conditions, it is difficult to purify gold from solid fist gold. It is quite difficult and the results are slow. But in the liquid state, it is twice the result with half the effort.

"How many times is the most appropriate number of times to purify?" Ning Zhuo faced this question.

Theoretically, the more, the better. But in reality, he must consider time.

Once the time limit is up, he can no longer continue to make the mechanism. Purifying it too many times will affect the final product.

The question of how many times to purify is actually about having an overall control over the entire refining process.

It would be better if you can accurately plan the time for each step.

This question is not difficult for Ning Zhuo.

He has a clear plan deep in his heart, and according to the plan, it is most appropriate to purify this link three times.

Such a small detail can already tell whether a machine cultivator is excellent or not.

Such details are constantly piled up, and the final impact on the finished product is huge.

Ning Zhuo quickly passed this step and started the next step.

He shaped the gold solution into the shape of a skeleton.

It is worth mentioning that these skeletons are hollow.

After completing this step, Ning Zhuo began to process the ancient spiritual wood.

Because there is only one spiritual stone, Ning Zhuo must first use ancient wood to cut out a formation disk to depict the spirit gathering formation.

After completing this step, Ning Zhuo cut the ancient wood along the spiritual lines and inserted the cylindrical thin wooden strips into the golden frame to serve as the bone core.

Ning Zhuo once again used the spell in the trial level. A three-inch cylindrical ancient wooden bar could grow up to five inches. Any longer would be too much, and the entire wooden bar would dry up and die.

After completing this step, Ning Zhuo took a short rest for more than ten breaths.

Skilled machine cultivators often have such good habits. They are not busy all the time, but relaxed and relaxed.

Because next, Ning Zhuo has to deal with the fire spirit and must protect his own condition.

He began to deal with the fire spirits.

He was extremely familiar with this material.

Ning Zhuo made the fire essence into firecrackers one by one. This is also a mechanism component that he is quite familiar with. His Explosive Monkey Mechanism is generally equipped with this kind of firecrackers and is used as a common attack method.

When faced with the frosty water droplets, Ning Zhuo fully demonstrated his formation skills!

He arranged at least three magic formations in the large frost flower droplets, which were fast and stable. In addition, Ning Zhuo filled in several frost talismans that he made on the spot in the formation eyes.

In the end, this big water droplet can change its shape at will according to Ning Zhuo's wishes.

Ning Zhuo hung his burden on the frame.

Then, he shaped the charcoal-baked clay again and made it into a body, completely covering the skeleton.

In the remaining time, he went back to making firecrackers in large quantities.

The final machine puppet, Ning Zhuo named it - the Five Elements Pawn.

The attack method is mainly mechanical firecrackers, and the defense is provided by large frost flower droplets. The latter can rush out of the body at critical moments and turn into armor or a shield.
