Darkness. Darkness. In the endless darkness, Ning Zhuo gradually came to his senses. "What happened?" "Where is this?!" Just at this moment, a piece of information was transmitted directly to his heart along with the life-threatening thread: "Lava Fairy Palace, mechanical inheritance, hanging thread to guide souls, Qi training test... leave room one and enter room two." Ning Zhuo's spirit suddenly lifted and he understood the whole story. "It seems that the peak of the third level of Qi Refining is the first criterion for selection." "I have reached it, so my soul was drawn into the Lava Fairy Palace and the second step of the test began." "This is very different from the message left by my mother!"
"Sure enough, the appearance of the Dharma Bell has already foreshadowed that the way Qi Refining cultivators compete for the Lava Fairy Palace is completely different from the previous Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul stages!" "If you think about it carefully, it makes sense." "Once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, his Dantian is completely transformed and stabilized. It is extremely difficult and almost impossible to change the cultivation method." "And when I was in the Qi Refining stage, I took advantage of the fact that my Dantian had not yet taken shape and directly switched to cultivation, and I still practiced the Five Elements Qi Law. For the Lava Fairy Palace, this is their own child." "Compared with those outsiders who practice other cultivation methods, the distance between them is clear at a glance." "It's just..." "Leave Room 1 and enter Room 2? What should I do?" Ning Zhuo calmed down and felt carefully in the endless darkness. He gradually felt that his soul was not independent, but was housed in an object, and there was a ball of spiritual power hidden in this object. Ning Zhuo tried to mobilize this spiritual power, but it didn't work. He used his brain and used the Five Elements Qi Law to mobilize it, and there was a response immediately. The spiritual power was mobilized, and along the operation path of the Five Elements Qi Law, it began to flow slowly inside the object where the soul was housed. From this, Ning Zhuo gradually felt that his soul's residence was like a long square box. "A coffin?" Ning Zhuo guessed. "In addition, I am very familiar with the feeling of spiritual power mobilization." "It should be a spiritual stone. I drew spiritual power from it." "The spiritual power in the spiritual stone has a limit. I am continuously consuming spiritual power by running the exercises like this." Ning Zhuo stopped the exercises and fell into hesitation. He pondered in the dark, but couldn't find more clues.
"It seems that there is only this one option..." Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth and decided to take a chance. He never lacked the courage to take risks. This time, he used all his strength to activate the Five Elements Qi Law, which caused a severe consumption of spiritual power, but he did not stop. Spiritual energy began to dissipate from the "long square box". The dissipated spiritual energy was like his tentacles, which gradually gave Ning Zhuo a vague sense of it. "There seems to be something in that direction." Ning Zhuo sensed a certain existence in the darkness. Moreover, this existence seemed to be faintly responding to him. Ning Zhuo made up his mind and urged his spiritual power to the strongest. The feeling of response suddenly became stronger, and in the next few breaths, the degree of response increased dozens of times! Until, a mysterious hard object suddenly hit the long square box where Ning Zhuo's soul was lodged. The spiritual energy that was dissipated everywhere quickly pulled the long square box and the mysterious hard object together and directly combined them. The spiritual energy that Ning Zhuo emitted outward suddenly had a new destination. The spiritual power was infused into the mysterious hard object, allowing Ning Zhuo to gradually feel the appearance of this mysterious hard object. "Like, like... an arm?" Ning Zhuo's mind was like a flash of lightning, and he immediately had a guess. He continued to practice the skills and confirmed his previous guess. This is indeed an arm, with a palm at the front of the arm and four fingers on the palm. In the darkness, Ning Zhuo carefully felt it. He tried to wave his arm, then stretched out his palm, moved his fingers, and groped around. He didn't have any sense of touch, but the spiritual power that spread outward began to echo other mysterious objects. A moment later, a cube-shaped hard object was also sucked into Ning Zhuo's body and assembled. The darkness that troubled him suddenly dissipated, and Ning Zhuo's vision was instantly lit up. He finally saw everything around him! This is a huge room with countless mechanical accessories piled up in the room. Trunks, heads, hands and feet, tails, horns, wings, etc. These mechanical accessories are varied, all made of wood, brown and yellow. And he, Ning Zhuo, is on the hill piled up by these mechanical accessories. Ning Zhuo observes himself.
"My guess is correct!" The long rectangular box where his soul resided before was a rectangular mechanical torso part. The first thing he sucked in with spiritual power was his left arm. The second cube that was spliced together was a square mechanical head part. "It is indeed a head!" "I have a head!" "This head is quite big." Ning Zhuo was delighted. There are accessories similar to eyes on the head part, so he can see. After having the ability to observe, Ning Zhuo is much more convenient. He did the same thing and found another part in the small mountain of mechanical parts and spliced it into himself. When he climbed to the ground from the small mountain of mechanical parts, he already had both hands and feet. "A mechanical puppet body..." At this time, Ning Zhuo's body was a long square box. He had two legs, one was slightly thinner and the other was slightly thicker, and their heights were not exactly the same. His two arms were the same length, but his hands had only three and four fingers respectively. His big head was square, disproportionate to his torso, and looked a bit stupid. "With a body, although I can move freely like a human, the consumption of spiritual power has also increased a lot." Ning Zhuo always paid attention to the spiritual stones in his torso. So far, he has consumed nearly half of the spiritual power. "There should be spiritual stones in other torso parts. I can take them out for backup." However, when Ning Zhuo found the torso part and was about to start, new information came, telling him that he was not allowed to destroy other parts. "Then I'll splice another body." Ning Zhuo just started, and another message came - the number of spiritual power parts is currently allowed to be capped at one. Ning Zhuo had to stand up. He thought of the first message - asking him to enter the second room from the first room. This is the assessment standard. "The second test, on the surface, has no time limit, but it is not." "Because there is only one spiritual power component, and the spiritual power in the spiritual stone will be constantly consumed." "You must complete the first test before the spiritual power is completely exhausted." "I should leave here as soon as possible."
Room No. 1 is very large, with red copper walls, golden roof, and bright light. Ning Zhuo had already seen the only door in the room. He limped towards the door. He came to the door, and as soon as his fingers touched the door, another message came. A spiritual stone, a ring for the mechanism component, and a spell "A Breath". "Can only choose one?"
