Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 214: Chapter 207: Xiao Hui Relinquishes the Treasure

The Ning Family Clan Leader’s messenger had come looking for Ning Xiaohui.

Ning Xiaohui’s expression did not look good. She had been immersed in her cultivation, yet had been interrupted by an outsider.

“You better have important matters, or else…” Ning Xiaohui looked at the messenger, her gaze dangerous.

Her cultivation had been stuck at the third level of Qi Refinement, but she possessed the Talent Ice-jade Hands. The latter was her primary focus in cultivation.

Not long ago, she had participated in the forging of the Zheng Family’s Mechanical Black Snake Weapon and had gained considerable insight, especially into the profound meaning of Ice-jade Hands.

The Zheng Family’s mechanical weapon was too vicious, filled with killing intent.

Ning Xiaohui had used her talent to help the weapon turn the tables at a critical point.

This process of artifact refining had a profound impact on her. On the night she returned, she discovered significant advancement in her talent. She could even repair items of Golden Elixir level!

Previously, when her soul entered the Immortal Palace, she could also use her talent to repair puppet bodies, but the grade of the repaired objects was not high.

This time, she found that she even had some ability to repair Golden Elixir level items.

When Ning Xiaohui used her Talent Ice-jade Hands, she could freeze damaged items into ice blocks.

After the ice block melted, the damaged items often had their deficiencies mended, such as cracks being sealed or wounds and defects self-healing like a growing tree.

The messenger had waited for a long time and finally saw Ning Xiaohui. He first congratulated her, then handed her a jade slip.

Within the jade slip were the fourth to sixth levels of the Five Elements Qi Regulation Art.

“Good, good, good, with this, I can finally advance to the mid-stage of Qi Refinement.”

“I will have more mana, and I can use my talent more frequently.”

“Wait a minute.” Suddenly, Ning Xiaohui’s expression changed slightly. She thought of a possibility and asked, “How did you obtain this? After I left, did the three families join forces and successfully defeat the Mechanical Monkey?”

The messenger knew the details. He had intended to conceal them but had to reveal the truth since Ning Xiaohui asked specifically.

Upon learning that the one who had successfully passed the trials and obtained the subsequent cultivation technique was Ning Zhuo, Ning Xiaohui’s brows furrowed deeply.

“Him?!”

Ning Xiaohui’s lips twitched, still in disbelief: “How could it be Ning Zhuo? How could he have such strength?”

Messenger: “He truly does…”

“In this Immortal Palace exploration, Ning Zhuo, with his own strength, led the way, using various spells endlessly.”

“He led his trusted followers, fighting their way through.”

“The renovation team members followed behind him, acting as cannon fodder in the battle against the Mechanical Monkey.”

“Ning Zhuo eventually defeated the Mechanical Monkey, reached the second Taoist gate, and obtained the subsequent cultivation technique.”

“You should know, the City Lord’s Mansion recently revealed information about Meng Chong and others cultivating the fourth to sixth levels of the technique.”

“In other words, the Ning’s Renovation Team has caught up with the City Lord’s Mansion!”

“Uh…”

The messenger, filled with strong family honor, got carried away, not noticing the increasingly dark clouds on Ning Xiaohui’s face.

Feeling Ning Xiaohui’s cold gaze, the messenger immediately shut his mouth.

Ning Xiaohui’s fingers, clutching the jade slip of the cultivation technique, turned white from exertion.

“Good, good, good.” Ning Xiaohui gritted her teeth, uttering three words.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

She had been forced to leave the renovation team because of Ning Zhuo and had taken the path of Soul Entering Immortal Palace.

Since her departure, she had smooth sailing, developing steadily, even participating in Golden Elixir level artifact refining.

But Ning Xiaohui, inherently proud, could not accept being driven away from the main lineage by a branch member.

She deeply resented Ning Zhuo and was determined to seek revenge.

She seemed like a changed person, abstaining from all pleasure and rest since leaving the renovation team, seizing every moment for cultivation.

Whenever she felt extremely tired, on the verge of collapse, she would think of Ning Zhuo’s face, which instantly filled her with boundless motivation.
