Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

“I prefer mutual understanding and coexistence among people. Even if there are conflicts, we can tolerate and bear with each other, coexist peacefully, and enjoy the beauty of cultivation.”

Ning Zhuo spoke earnestly.

At this moment, Sun Lingtong realized Ning Zhuo’s naivety, recognizing that he was just a sixteen-year-old boy.

“So, have you found it?” Sun Lingtong asked.

Ning Zhuo: “Hmm?”

Sun Lingtong: “After obtaining the Magma Fairy Palace, have you thought about what your situation will be? By then, will you have found a way to coexist peacefully with other people and forces?”

“Uhm…” Ning Zhuo fell into silence.

Sun Lingtong’s expression turned serious: “Little Zhuo, I understand you. With your nature, you always think ahead about many things.”

“So, what have you come up with?”

Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly: “I’m trying…”

Sun Lingtong interrupted: “So, you’re using the Life Hanging Thread, striving to build your influence, intending to rely on the family’s power to force the forces in the Immortal City to accept you as the master of the Immortal Palace?”

“Haha.”

Sun Lingtong sneered: “You’re too naive!”

“Even I know that it’s simply impossible.”

“Regardless of the Ning Family, the Zhou Family, or the Zheng Family, none of them have reliable connections in the court of Southern Bean Country.”

“The Magma Fairy Palace is such a significant treasure, crucial for suppressing Fire Persimmon Mountain and the foundation of Fire Persimmon Immortal City. Southern Bean Country will never let you control the Immortal Palace.”

“As the Recruitment Decree says, they will force you to give up the city lord position, demand you hand over the Immortal Palace, and won’t stop until you comply!”

“Don’t harbor unrealistic fantasies!”

“Little Zhuo!”

“Now that you’ve embarked on this path, there’s no turning back. You have to be decisive and ruthless, or you’ll harm others and yourself.”

“In the future, if you obtain the Immortal Palace, leave this place immediately using its power!”

“I know what you’re worried about.”

“The City Protecting Great Array of Fire Persimmon Immortal City is effective; it can continue to suppress the volcano.”

“Southern Bean Country will surely act decisively; after all, Fire Persimmon Immortal City has many foundations and countless citizens.”

Sun Lingtong’s words plunged Ning Zhuo into deep silence.

Sun Lingtong saw through Ning Zhuo’s thoughts and plans and gave the correct advice.

The next day.

At Ning Zhuo’s residence.

In the underground cultivation secret room.

Ning Zhuo, shrouded in a floating cloud, solemnly took out the Jade Match Talisman.

The Jade Match Talisman was a rectangular strip of paper, jade-like in color, with red edges around its border. In the center of the yellow paper was a long series of intricate talismans.

The talismans intertwined like dragons and serpents, running from top to bottom, with three silver rings representing the upper dantian Divine Sea, middle dantian Qi Sea, and lower dantian Essence Sea.

A straight line of golden light connected the rings, resembling a sword or bridge, penetrating through the three rings.

Ning Zhuo calmed his mind and, holding the talisman between his fingers, placed it in front of him.

He channeled his mana into the talisman.

The talisman gradually began to glow, then spontaneously combusted, quickly turning to ashes.

Amid the smoke, the talisman’s light swiftly entered Ning Zhuo’s chest Qi Sea.

Using the same method, Ning Zhuo used two more talismans, directing their light to his brow Divine Sea and abdomen Essence Sea.

After the three talismans were applied, they immediately resonated with each other.

Ning Zhuo’s essence, qi, and spirit, each emitted an inexplicable aura, flowing gently, intertwining, gradually merging into one, and finally permeating into the other two dantians.

This state continued for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before gradually subsiding.

“The Jade Match Talisman… its effect is remarkable!”

This type of talisman was specifically used to harmonize the three dantians. Cultivators in the latter stage of Qi Refinement must go through this step before breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Doing so increased the success rate of the breakthrough.

“But since I’m cultivating three different techniques, I must use the Jade Match Talismans before reaching the seventh layer.”

“Cultivators focusing on one dantian only need one talisman. I need three at once!”

“But honestly, it’s really effective.”
