Ning Zhuo stood before the five stone pillars, touched one with his palm, and imdiately received the ssage.
He was to collect the rewards for being ranked first on the Qi Refinent Board, the Speedrun Board, and the Progress Board!
The rewards remained the sa: Spirit Stones, chanical components, and spells. Ning Zhuo had to choose one.
"Each reward contains a hundred Spirit Stones!" Ning Zhuo's heart shook slightly.
His highest reward so far was only ten Spirit Stones.
A hundred Spirit Stones, ten tis as much!
Ning Zhuo imdiately decided to take at least one reward of Spirit Stones.
Previously, he had taken many items from the preparation room to set up chanisms. The Buddha Heart Demon Seal couldn't let them be free, all of these ca with a cost.
As he set up more and more traps and chanisms, Ning Zhuo's Spirit Stones were running out.
With an extra hundred Spirit Stones, Ning Zhuo had no more worries.
The chanical components offered dozens of options, including the hangman's noose, the recoil wire, and the Small Flying Box.
The spells also had so familiar ones, such as the Embrace Ice Technique, the Grasping Fire Technique, and the Grafting Technique.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was also observing Ning Zhuo. Seeing him stand before the leaderboard, deep in thought, the Fire Spirit couldn't help but show a tense expression.
Ning Zhuo didn't think too much and started to sense the Buddha Heart Demon Seal imdiately.
However, he was disappointed to find out that he couldn't choose multiple rewards from the leaderboard; he could only pick one.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit saw Ning Zhuo's attempt fail and grunted, still appearing nervous.
"Strange," Ning Zhuo felt a hint of sothing odd.
"Very strange indeed."
The youth was very good at discovering problems from details.
"Each top-ranked reward is essentially the sa, letting choose one out of three."
"But the value of these three options is not equivalent."
"The Spirit Stones option is worth up to a hundred, but the other two options are still the sa as the previous rewards."
"Most of these rewards I have already used. I have almost all the spells."
"The Three Ancestral Masters wouldn't make such a mistake…Which ans, the actual value of the other two rewards far exceeds what it looks like on the surface."
"Let's try them all!"
Ning Zhuo ca to a conclusion.
He had three chances to collect the rewards, so he chose each option once.
One hundred Spirit Stones, genuine and solid.
For the chanical component, he chose the hangman's noose.
Lastly, for the spell, Ning Zhuo chose one he had not mastered yet—the Gold Gathering Technique.
The next mont, the information about the spell was transmitted into his mind.
Ning Zhuo was moved!
The Gold Gathering Technique was a spell that could extract tal and condense it between the fingers.
Of course, this wasn't enough to excite Ning Zhuo.
The key point was, along with the spell information, ca a lot of cultivation insights.
Although Ning Zhuo had just acquired the Gold Gathering Technique, with these cultivation insights, he instantly beca soone who had practiced it for two and a half years!
"A thod of instant enlightennt? Infusing the cultivation experience of predecessors into the successors?"
"Impressive, truly impressive."
"With this, I can save a lot of ti and energy."
Ning Zhuo was secretly delighted.
His background was incomparable to ng Chong and others; relying on the rewards from the leaderboard was the only way to neutralize so advantages of the opponents.
After testing the spell rewards, Ning Zhuo scrutinized the chanical component hangman's noose.
He found it didn't differ much from the previous rewards.
However, Ning Zhuo already had a new hypothesis, waiting to be verified in the future.
When the ti limit expired, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit couldn't wait to pull ng Chong into the Immortal Palace.
In the portal rewards, this ti ng Chong chose a chanical component.
He stared at the hangman's noose in his hand, quite puzzled: "How do you use this thing?"
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit gritted its teeth and transmitted a ssage, explaining the usage and even the chanical diagram to ng Chong.
In an instant, in the main hall, two fire whips materialized, fiercely lashing at the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit!
Crack, crack, crack.
For a while, the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit clenched its dragon claws, gritted its teeth to endure the flogging, trembling with pain, its face contorted.
ng Chong received the information and suddenly understood: "That's how it's used."
He furrowed his brows again; deep down, he didn't like such small gadgets; he preferred to charge straight ahead.
This ti, he gently opened the door a crack.
After thinking for a mont, he held the hangman's noose and aid in a direction, shooting out a blue-purple diamond filant.
The filant quickly rged with the wall, solidifying into one.
ng Chong controlled the hangman's noose, and the thin rope imdiately tightened.
"Using the rope to accelerate, charging in one go!" ng Chong sensed himself, activating the Superior Talent Frenzied Rushing Thunder.
The next mont, his body sparked with electric light.
As the thin rope snapped back, he pushed the door open with all his might and ran at full speed.
With a crack, the electric light flashed intensely!
His speed exploded to the maximum in an instant.
He was almost like a lightning bolt, tearing through the air, rushing ahead.
But next, a huge fishing net flipped out from the floor tiles, solidly covering ng Chong.
Every thread of that fishing net was made of recoil wire! This gave the net fantastic elasticity and toughness.
The net stretched out like a drawn bowstring.
ng Chong's speed plumted, and within a few breaths, his montum was entirely gone.
He was like a bullet, shot back fiercely by the shrinking fishing net!
Crack.
A crisp sound, and his whole body crashed into the now-closed door.
He fell apart on the spot.
Boom.
The next mont, a massive thousand-pound hamr fell from above.
ng Chong...was shattered.
When ng Chong regained his senses, he scread in anger.
The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit also slamd a palm down, showing an angry face.
In the dungeon.
Han Ming slowly lifted her head, looking at the Youthful Guest who had reappeared. Her face was haggard and numb, as if she was about to break.
How many tis had her soul essence been extracted already?
She couldn't rember.
So of those tis, she was unconscious.
She no longer cursed or berated Ning Zhuo; partly because she had no strength left, her physical condition was so poor, and partly because she finally recognized the reality.
The reality was so cruel that it wiped out her arrogance, forcing her to think exhaustively about how to survive.
"No, don't control anymore, I will help you."
"I will voluntarily extract the soul essence and pass it to you."
The Youthful Guest Ning Zhuo was slightly stunned, then nodded: "You finally figured it out, Han Ming, this is good. I'm happy for you."
Anger flared in Han Ming's heart again, but she suppressed it: "Please give the Soul Capturing Shuttle, and loosen the restrictions on the chains a bit."
Ning Zhuo smiled: "No rush, let's have so food first."
He commanded a dozen small puppets to feed Han Ming together. So sat on her shoulders, holding long spoons to feed her soup. So stood on her chest, holding up drumsticks and pork feet. So cooperated with each other, using chopsticks to pick vegetables and feed Han Ming.
After Han Ming finished a sumptuous al, there were still small puppets holding up handkerchiefs, descending from her head, landing at her mouth, and wiping the corners of her mouth from above.
Finally, three small puppets each held different fruits, feeding Han Ming as desserts.
