Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 194: Chapter 187: How Ning Zhuo of the Righteous Path Uses Family Blood and Flesh (Request for Monthly Tickets)

These past few days, Ning Zhuo had been conceptualizing a brand-new mechanical body for Yuan Dasheng.

The tree Martial Fighting Ape he previously designed and refined had been completely destroyed in the battle against Qi Bai.

The Golden Blood Battle Ape was more suited to operations within the Magma Fairy Palace. When used outside, it simply was not up to par, especially when confronting Golden Core Cultivators; the material specifications fell short by far.

Of course, the Magma Fairy Palace provided many opportunities. The Golden Blood Battle Ape would receive upgrades in the future.

After the second Buddhist Sect’s checkpoint, the next three checkpoints provided higher-grade materials specifically for processing the Golden Blood Battle Ape.

During the previous joint operation of the three families, the Golden Blooded War Ape – Dasheng had displayed extraordinary power based on material upgrades.

“In terms of potential, it’s clear that the Golden Blood Battle Ape has much more.”

Ning Zhuo had yet to fully understand the design of the Golden Blood Battle Ape. He had not even fully grasped the materials used in its structure.

The Golden Blood Battle Ape originated from the Golden Furnace. Even the mighty Three Ancestral Masters at the Cultivating the Void stage had only set up eight within the Magma Fairy Palace.

Of course, Ning Zhuo knew nothing of the Golden Furnace.

After his contact and attempts at analysis, he confirmed that the Golden Blood Battle Ape made by the Magma Fairy Palace was indeed extraordinary.

“Even if I never figured out its construction, as long as I continued to replace its materials, I could still rapidly enhance the combat power of the Golden Blooded War Ape – Dasheng.”

The tree Martial Fighting Ape – Dasheng was strong because of its materials. Due to Zheng Jian, the material grade was far higher than that of the Golden Blood Battle Ape.

However, the design concept lacked uniqueness, and the meticulous planning was also nothing special. There was another problem: the mechanical diagrams of the tree Martial Fighting Ape had already been leaked.

Zheng Jian knew this very well.

Of course, the blueprint itself was of low value, which was why Ning Zhuo had shared it with Zheng Jian in the first place to strengthen their relationship.

Ning Zhuo wanted to replicate the success of the tree Martial Fighting Ape.

He wanted to refine a mechanical monkey with Golden Core level combat power to ensure his own safety.

Especially given the current situation: a large number of unfamiliar cultivators had flooded into Fire Persimmon Immortal City, and Ning Zhuo had become the Black Market’s controller, essentially placing him in the spotlight. Thus, he urgently needed Golden Core level strength.

Qi Bai technically possessed Golden Core strength.

His Golden Core was hidden within the Underworld Envoy puppet, providing its power and more.

The materials of the Underworld Envoy puppet, Qi Bai, also needed upgrading. Forcing it to exert Golden Core level power meant the puppet’s materials would likely collapse under the strain.

Since Qi Bai’s spiritual nature was not yet fully developed, and even if it were, it would have to find a way to survive the Spirit Movement phase. Thus, it was not Ning Zhuo’s first choice.

Ning Xie, who in life possessed the talent of Snow Soul Frost Spirit, had been refined into the Weather Balloon·Ice Crystal Snow.

Its materials were quite good and could be upgraded.

Though its spiritual nature was low, Ning Xie was a member of the Ning Family, and his relics could be collected to replenish his spiritual energy, offering hope of achieving a complete transformation and advancing to the Spirit Movement phase.

However, Ning Xie had only reached the Foundation Establishment Stage in life. The mechanical structure of the Weather Balloon·Ice Crystal Snow was vastly different from his former self. While it was not impossible for him to exhibit Golden Core strength through the quality of his materials, it was not very probable.

After much deliberation, Ning Zhuo determined that Yuan Dasheng was his best option.

Yuan Dasheng’s spiritual nature required no replenishment, and he had already surpassed the Spirit Movement phase.

In life, he had quasi-Golden Core level combat power. His close-combat fighting style better allowed him to leverage the advantages provided by high-quality materials.
