Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

“Since the mechanical weapon belongs to our Zheng Family, we must offer something in return.”

“Come.”

“Inspect the treasury and compile a suitable list. Send it to Ning Zhuo and let him choose any one item as a reward.”

Zhou Nongying also nodded, “In that case, my Zhou Family cannot be stingy.”

“Let’s reward him with a Foundation Establishment level Spirit Gathering Formation Disk.”

Then it came to the Ning Family Ancestor’s turn.

Ning Jiufan coughed, pondered for a few breaths before slowly stroking his beard, and said calmly, “Ning Zhuo is a member of our family. Contributing to the family is his duty.”

“Pass my words along—The ancestor remembers his contributions to the family!”

As soon as his words were spoken, the other Golden Pill Cultivators’ expressions changed.

These orders from the Golden Pill Ancestors were conveyed and received by Ning Zhuo.

At home, Ning Zhuo threw back his head and laughed heartily.

He thought, “Just as I expected!”

He had anticipated the reactions of the Golden Pill Cultivators, especially Zhu Xuanji, which is why he took such a calculated risk.

“Zhu Xuanji, being a significant figure, no longer acts solely based on personal preferences, even sometimes going against them!”

In Ning Zhuo’s mind, when Zhu Xuanji temporarily set aside the investigation to fully immerse himself in the Immortal Palace, his threat significantly decreased.

By ceasing his investigation, the pressure on Ning Zhuo decreased considerably. Revealing his true objective of seeking control over the Magma Fairy Palace made his actions predictable!

“Once Zhu Xuanji becomes the Master of the Immortal Palace, he will become a significant force in Fire Persimmon Immortal City.”

“Hence, he allied with the three families, foreseeing that the Meng Family would also be his formidable rival!”

Ning Zhuo not only offered the Night Wind Soft Iron but also proactively presented all the Golden Core level materials he had, a submissive stance precisely what Zhu Xuanji needed.

Zhu Xuanji greatly desired to see all three families submit to him, making it easier for him to vie for the position of Immortal Palace Master and for future control over Fire Persimmon Immortal City to confront the Meng Family.

Thus, when Ning Zhuo set himself as an example before him, even if Zhu Xuanji had many aversions to Ning Zhuo, he had to hold his nose and give Ning Zhuo much encouragement and rewards.

Zhu Xuanji needed to demonstrate his capacity, to further draw the three families closer to him.

Ning Zhuo served as a benchmark. Zhu Xuanji could reward Ning Zhuo generously to show the outside world what kind of person he was, encouraging others to follow Ning Zhuo’s example and submit to him!

“Zhu Xuanji, this Divine Hunter and outsider, is currently the leader of the alliance among the three families.”

“As long as I manage to win him over, the other three Golden Pill Ancestors will surely follow!”

“Haha!”

“Thus, a Golden Core Cultivator is merely so, easily outwitted by me.”

“Indeed, I am most suited to mix in the Righteous Path!”

Ning Zhuo was quite pleased.

What delighted him the most was not Zhu Xuanji’s royal mechanical artifact, nor the rewards from the Zheng Family and Zhou Family, but a single sentence from the Ning Family Ancestor, Ning Jiufan!

In fact, Ning Zhuo believed the most valuable reward from the Golden Core Cultivators was this sentence.

He immediately summoned his subordinates, instructing them to spread the word with all their might—that Ning Zhuo had received recognition from the Ning Family’s Golden Pill Ancestor!

“From now on, remember this: I am a meritorious person.”

“I have assisted our family’s Golden Pill Ancestor, something not everyone can achieve. I am a great hero!”

“I am a significant contributor to the Ning Family!”

“Hahaha!”

The news, like a wild wind, swept through the entire Ning Family.

With just a simple sentence, the entire Ning Family was shaken to its core!

The main branch was fearful, speculating about the intent behind the Golden Pill Ancestor’s words.

The sub-branch, however, was jubilant, holding their heads high. Ning Zhuo being remembered by the Golden Pill Ancestor surely indicated that the ancestor had high hopes for this young man. Didn’t it suggest that the ancestor expected Ning Zhuo to become a family elder in the future?

Previously, Ning Zhuo’s talent, temperament, and methods had already garnered admiration.
