"It should be Ning Zhuo begging to handle this matter."
"And not rushing to arrange it for him."
"I am his eldest uncle, his elder!"
"If I do it this way, won't it make his tail stick up to the sky, and from then on, he will only look at through his nostrils!"
"How will I discipline him in the future?"
But the situation was beyond control.
Young Clan Leader Ning Xiaoren had cornered Ning Ze, and Ning Ze did not want to give up his managerial position.
What should he do?
Ning Ze racked his brains for a long ti without finding a good solution.
In the afternoon, Ning Zhuo returned ho.
In the main hall, Ning Zhuo greeted Ning Ze and Wang Lan once again and stated his purpose: "Dear uncle and aunt, I've co this ti mainly to take away so daily necessities."
When studying at the academy, Ning Zhuo usually stayed here. Only on weekends did he go back to live alone.
Ning Ze feigned concern and inquired about his situation.
Ning Zhuo quietly activated the power of the treasure seal in his sea of consciousness, while he told the couple he had found a job at a chanical workshop with good pay.
After a brief conversation, Ning Zhuo excused himself and left.
Watching his departing figure, Wang Lan snorted coldly: "What chanical workshop, hardly ever heard of it. Such a small workshop, what prospects could it have?"
Ning Ze remained expressionless: "Young people are often very ambitious. They have to go through so hardships to understand the difficulty of the world."
Seeing Ning Zhuo's stubborn attitude, Ning Ze was even more annoyed at the idea of using money and connections to get him a job.
"Wait, maybe I can use his personality to do sothing." Ning Ze suddenly ca up with a good idea.
He sneered: "Little Zhuo is too scholarly and young, he likes adventure and excitent."
"I rember that many family cultivators have joined the Demon Hunting Association, entering and exiting the Fla Demon lting Cave to hunt volcanic demon beasts."
"I can have soone provoke Little Zhuo into hunting demons!"
The aunt grew worried: "Isn't that too dangerous?"
She was stingy with money but didn't want to see Ning Zhuo getting hard or even dying.
The uncle shook his head slightly: "Many Ning Family mbers are already there at the Demon Hunting Association."
"Besides, this ti the Young Clan Leader asked to procure as many as eighty Top and Bottom Wishing Ropes, clearly indicating that our family is set to explore the Fla Demon lting Cave on a large scale."
"By then, under the protection of the family's forces, Little Zhuo's safety should not be an issue."
"Little Zhuo is young and fiery, likes stimulation and adventure, and wants to achieve success on his own. He dislikes my arrangent and insists on joining the Demon Hunting Association! How about this explanation? Hahaha."
"The wonderful thing is—the exploration of the Fla Demon lting Cave is also family business. Ning Zhuo is contributing to the family. It can be reluctantly considered family business too. Thus, the Young Clan Leader won't use this to put pressure on ."
"Of course, the money still has to be sent."
"It's just that arranging for Little Zhuo to join the Demon Hunting Association costs far less than arranging him into family enterprises!"
The aunt blinked and thought for a mont: "This idea is good."
"However, dear."
"Since the family plans to make big moves in the Fla Demon lting Cave, there must be many opportunities for rit. What about Ji'er..."
The uncle imdiately glared and scolded: "Are you crazy? On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, what if sothing happens to Ji'er? Do you want us, the white-haired, to send off the black-haired children?"
"Ah?" The aunt panicked imdiately and quickly said, "I was wrong, I thought too much. Ji'er is indeed safest at ho making talismans!"
None of them noticed that just as Ning Zhuo turned to leave, two streaks of fresh blood flowed from his nostrils.
Ning Ze thought it was his own idea, feeling smug.
He did not know this was actually the result of Ning Zhuo's active influence.
As the sun set, darkness cloaked Fire Persimmon Immortal City.
Ning Zhuo took a deep breath, feeling slightly nervous and anxious, and opened the pill furnace.
"Very good, it's indeed successful!"
Seeing the unhard chanical Explosive Fla Monkey, Ning Zhuo relaxed, feeling elated.
Then, he willed it.
The seal hidden in his sea of consciousness slightly glowed.
It was the magical treasure left to him by his mother—the Buddha Heart Devil Seal!
The top of the seal was carved with a Buddha and a devil, standing back to back, forming a sharp contrast. The Buddha's expression was serene and benevolent, while the devil appeared ferocious, eyes like fire.
The body of the seal resembled a round basin, the surrounding Sanskrit talismans flickered on and off.
The bottom of the seal had ancient celestial script with four large words, "Buddha Heart Devil."
One thought to beco Buddha, one thought to beco devil.
I am both Buddha and devil.
The seal, reflecting itself, was Buddha's compassion, saving others and oneself. Reflecting upon others, it could project a cultivator's thoughts and ideas into others' sea of consciousness, influencing and changing their thoughts. For this, it beca others' heart demon.
To hide this treasure, Ning Zhuo had suffered much and paid many prices. He frequently bought Gold Thread Jade Dew Cakes primarily to expand his sea of consciousness, increasing his foundation to bear this magical treasure.
He also gained much from this treasure!
For example, when he disguised himself as a youthful guest among the black market and was robbed by a demon cultivator, Ning Zhuo used this treasure to shake the enemy's mind, creating flaws. Even a montary flaw often allowed him to win effortlessly.
Also, like today, to influence Ning Ze, he forced the treasure's power to exert a little influence. Only then did Ning Ze have the "inspiration" to co up with the plan to have Ning Zhuo join the Demon Hunting Association.
But because of it, Ning Zhuo's soul was often weak, his spirits exhausted, and his nostrils continuously bled.
"The uncle was in the Foundation Establishnt Stage, and I was only at the third level of the Qi Refinent Realm. Influencing him was very difficult and ca at a cost."
"Unlike when I acted in the black market, wearing the Iron Han Armor that granted the power of Foundation Establishnt, so I could easily shake my Foundation Establishnt enemies by invoking more of the seal's power."
"However, the true use of this seal is not here but for controlling chanical constructs!"
Ning Zhuo evoked the seal's power, forming a heart seal.
The heart seal appeared pale pink and instantly shot into the chanical monkey's body.
The next mont, the chanical monkey opened its eyes and leaped out of the pill furnace by itself!
The chanical Explosive Fla Monkey, agile and quick-witted, leapt around the underground workshop, moving freely without disturbing any items. Its actions were deliberate and precise.
If others saw this, they would have been astonished.
There were many ways to control chanical constructs, the mainstream being divine sense control. However, cultivators needed divine sense, which typically required Foundation Establishnt cultivation level.
Ning Zhuo had equipped the chanical monkey with a divine sense receiver, aning this construct was ant for Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
However, even an experienced Foundation Establishnt chanism master would find it difficult to control the chanical monkey so adeptly using divine sense.
This was because the divine sense receiving unit of the chanical monkey consisted of three pellets, conceived by Ning Zhuo to save costs and use ingenuity. Compared to traditional array plates, the control performance was vastly reduced. So, it wasn't the chanism master's lack of skill but the chanical monkey's inherently poor control performance.
Yet, under Ning Zhuo's control, the chanical monkey was as vivid as a real monkey!
All thanks to the heart seal.
As the saying goes, the hearts were in sync.
Using the Buddha Heart Devil Seal, Ning Zhuo implanted a heart seal into the chanical monkey, allowing him to control it directly with his mind. This form of control was more convenient and effective than divine sense.
Ning Zhuo commanded the monkey to sorsault and attempt to store Fire Essence, all with great success.
"Years of preparation have finally co to fruition at this mont!" The youth felt a sense of achievent, gazing toward the Magma Fairy Palace with a flash of determination in his eyes.
