Chapter 595 Soul Cultivation OpportunityDining hall.

A skinny old man stared at Ning Zhuo and said, "You, a pockmarked kid, want me to cook for you right here on the spot?"

Ning Zhuo quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, senior."

"Hmph." The old man glanced at Ning Zhuo with an arrogant look.

He is the head chef of Zangyang Villa. Although he has been stuck in the late stage of foundation building for his entire life, his skills as a spiritual chef are amazing.

Ning Zhuo sat in front of the old man.

Many male concubines in the dining hall cast glances at Ning Zhuo with curiosity, envy, vigilance, jealousy, etc.

The old man in the spiritual kitchen brought out a huge bronze cauldron and poured a large amount of water from the Mingjiao River into it.

He took it with both hands, and urged the ghost fire of the underworld to burn the bronze cauldron.

The cauldron shook and the river water inside immediately began to boil. As the steam rose, there was a faint sound of ghosts wailing and snakes hissing, which was very creepy.

The old man from the spiritual kitchen took out a piece of black tortoise shell and rubbed it with his hands, turning the shell into a blue-gray powder.

He added the powder, boiled the water in the pot for a while, and immediately poured in a large amount of ingredients.

Soon after, he stopped the will-o'-the-wisp and ended the production of this spiritual food.

The bronze cauldron was filled with the soup of the Underworld. The surface of the soup was as deep and dark as black jade. Looking closely, it seemed that there were quite a few souls twisting in the soup.

Ning Zhuo took out a soup spoon, scooped a spoonful of soup from the huge bronze cauldron, and put it into his mouth.

As soon as he took a bite, it felt like he had swallowed a piece of bronze, the kind that was covered with green rust.

After forcing himself to swallow it with great difficulty, Ning Zhuo's throat still had a strong iron smell.

By the time he had finished all the soup, his tongue and lips had turned bronze.

However, his soul foundation also skyrocketed. After these days of spiritual meals, Ning Zhuo's soul foundation has reached 300 times that of an ordinary person!Seeing Ning Zhuo trying hard to hold back and finish the whole pot of soup, the old man in the spiritual kitchen looked Ning Zhuo up and down and said, "Well, you've finished the food I cooked. You're a sensible boy."

"But you actually ate it all, which is really disrespectful to me. Is my cooking really that delicious?!"

The old chef had a strange temper. He admired Ning Zhuo for eating a whole meal, but he also blamed Ning Zhuo for eating too fast, which made him feel no sense of accomplishment in torturing the diners.

"Look at the second dish I made!" The old spiritual chef continued to make it.

He first took out a large cauldron and performed a ritual around it. Soon, thunderclouds and a vortex of purple air formed in the cauldron.

Lingchu stepped on the Gang Step, saying that it was a mouth seal. At the same time, he threw out the black bird tear crystal, chopped it into pieces with his palm knife, and threw them all into the cauldron.

He used the martial arts dragon claw hand to continuously hit the cauldron, while at the same time throwing in a lot of ingredients again.

Some of the ingredients melted quickly, while others floated up and down in the pot, being very stubborn.

The old man in the spiritual kitchen suddenly shouted softly, and a thunder-like explosion suddenly erupted in the cauldron. Then a large amount of black smoke rose rapidly and lingered above the beam, like a thick layer of dark clouds.

The smell of burning filled the air, making Ning Zhuo and others strongly suspect that the spiritual chef had failed in making the spiritual food.

But after waiting for the chef to wave his sleeves and blow away the black smoke, he took out a few pieces of black pastry from the bottom of the cauldron with a smug sneer on his face.

It is the spiritual food - San Sheng Duan Ya Su.

"This is too hard!" Ning Zhuo tried to put it in his mouth, but his cheeks were cramping from the effort and he couldn't bite it.

He then looked to the old man in the spiritual kitchen for help.

The old man folded his arms, and seeing Ning Zhuo's predicament, he sneered smugly: "You can't even chew this, kid, do you still want to learn how to order food from others?"

Ning Zhuo couldn't help but snort, which aroused the young man's unwillingness to admit defeat.

He did not use any spells, but instead used his magic power to form two lines of fine blood veins on his cheeks, which greatly enhanced his bite force.

This time, I finally managed to bite off a small piece of the black crisp. It really felt like I was chewing black iron.

The key point is that when you put the black crisp in your mouth, it tastes like the sour smell of rotten lotus pods, which makes Ning Zhuo want to vomit.

Every time he swallowed, Ning Zhuo felt his Adam's apple rolling, as if it was grinding against a piece of iron.

The stomach also faced an unprecedented challenge, as these pieces of black crisps were really too difficult to digest.

However, if this kind of spiritual food is dissolved by magic power, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced!Ning Zhuo could only cover his stomach and endure the dull pain.

The old man from the spiritual kitchen looked at him jokingly.

"No, if I continue eating, I'm afraid my stomach won't be able to digest it. It will be too much of a burden and turn into a joke." Ning Zhuo suddenly had an idea and activated the Magic Blood-stained Tendon Technique.

His stomach suddenly expanded by 30%, and the surface was full of tangled muscles. His digestive ability was enhanced by magic power and soared several times!The black pastry was finally slowly digested under such circumstances.

The bloating and pain in my stomach gradually eased.

Ning Zhuo ate slowly to accommodate his own digestive ability, and fortunately he did not make a fool of himself.

When the old man in the spiritual kitchen saw that Ning Zhuo had actually finished the entire San Sheng Broken Tooth Pastry, his expression lightened up a little and he gave a positive evaluation: "You are indeed qualified to taste my delicious food."

When Ning Zhuo heard the words "delicious food", the corner of his eye couldn't help but twitch.

He finally finished eating five servings of spiritual food. His belly was so bloated that he could only half sit and half lie in his seat, enduring the envious or puzzled looks from the people around him.

What is enviable is that Ning Zhuo did not hesitate to spend his own achievements in exchange for a large amount of ghost food to enhance his own soul foundation, with excellent results.

This is also the puzzlement. Many people would exchange their grades for elixirs to increase the output of Yang Qi, thereby making their own grades better, and so on. How come Jiao Ma, who only "luckily" got 47th place and was on the list, was so wasteful and lazy?"The soul's strength is three hundred and twenty times that of an ordinary person."

"Just one meal has increased so much! It is indeed unpalatable, but it is also very delicious."

Ning Zhuo was sincerely moved.

Although he has not traveled to many places so far, his experiences are indeed rich and his cognition has advanced by leaps and bounds. At this moment, in this situation, Ning Zhuo understands very well: this is a rare opportunity for the cultivation of the soul!

A chef like the old man in the spiritual kitchen is not someone he can easily meet.

There is no other city like Baizhixian City, which has such a unique geographical environment and provides a large amount of precious fresh ingredients.

All these conditions combined together have led to the current opportunity.

It seems common, but it is actually quite rare.

"It can make up for my shortcomings!"

Ning Zhuo had suffered losses in this regard. The battle between the two ghosts of heaven and earth made him realize very deeply that the weakness of the soul is one of the fatal weaknesses.

Therefore, he has a strong motivation to improve this major shortcoming of his!"I am only at the Foundation Establishment stage, not the Golden Core stage. My low level of cultivation has its advantages. I can use the Hundred Arts of Cultivation to easily improve areas that my main cultivation method cannot take care of."

Once Ning Zhuoruo's cultivation level is improved, for example, reaching the Golden Core Stage, the effect of consuming these hellish meals will be greatly reduced.

When your cultivation is weak, it is the best time to lay the foundation for everything and should not be missed.

"Jiao Ma, how long have you been here? How come you're on the list?"

"Do you have any experience that you can pass on to us?" "You exchanged your hard-earned achievements for these underworld meals, aren't you worried about being eliminated?"

Seeing Ning Zhuo lying down, some male concubines came to him in twos and threes, feeling unwilling, to talk to him and ask for advice.

Ning Zhuo covered his swollen belly and said lazily and proudly: "I majored in the Sanjiao Zhengyang Meridian, and I also have the magic medicine that Yang Weida secretly sold to me. It is easy for me to surpass most people, so don't worry."

But he lied with his eyes open and did not mention the real hero, the Yin Yang Yi Qi Pot.

Everyone's ears moved slightly when they heard it.

They all know about the Sanjiao Zhengyang Meridian.

Ning Zhuo was on the list, and this information became known to everyone after he broke into the top 50.

What is Yang Weida’s magic medicine?Everyone looked at each other quickly, and they all noticed each other's surprise. I didn't expect to be able to find out some valuable information. This Jiao Ma is really too young!Everyone has a main practice method, and many people even change to practice "Soul Fragrance Secret" and "Hidden Ghost Embryo Skill". They don't practice "Sanjiao Zhengyang Meridian" at all.

But Yang Weida’s pills can be taken by everyone.

Alchemy is the most important of all the arts of cultivation. Having such a skill really comes in handy for many people.

Looking at Yang Weida's ranking, he is actually ranked more than 30th!This further proves that his magic medicine is extremely effective.

As a result, many people on the spot directly abandoned Ning Zhuo and hurriedly went to find Yang Weida without even saying hello.

There is no doubt that these people are almost all heading for the Zhuangyang Hospital. As it concerns their own future, they are all very motivated.

Ning Zhuo also has his own ambitions.

After digesting most of the spiritual food, he regained some strength and walked back to Class A Room 1 to continue his practice.

If a male concubine of Zangyang Villa is promoted to one of the three courtyards, she will meet with Sangle Youling alone. After the latter's divination in person and confirmation that she is not a spy, she will be allowed to enter the three courtyards.

By then, Ning Zhuo would naturally meet Sangle Youling, present the token, and get the divination opportunity he wanted.

Now you can't force it.

Sangle Youling had just been assassinated, and everyone was on the alert. If Ning Zhuo revealed his identity, it might cause misunderstanding.

As for the Yin-Yang Qi Pot, it must not be exposed!This treasure is of great value to the Lord of White Paper City, and it is just the right path. Although the Lord of White Paper City is on the right path, in such a difficult situation, people's hearts are too unpredictable.

Ning Zhuo doesn't need to put his own destiny on the moral character of others.

Even though the Lord of Baizhi City had no intention of murdering and had upright moral principles, the Baizhi Fairy City was filled with loopholes and had been infiltrated by the enemy like a sieve.

If Ning Zhuoruo plays a key role, he is likely to be targeted and assassinated by the enemy.

Look at Sangle Youling, who holds a high position of power in Baizhi Fairy City, is the city lord's right-hand man, and is also proficient in divination. You can see the seriousness of the problem by looking at his current situation.

Ning Zhuo continued his practice.

He still has national strength bricks in his hand, but when it comes to the stage of planting symbols of different phenomena, it is not the accumulation of quantity, but the comprehension of the technique itself.

Fellow practitioner Ning Zhuo began to have happiness troubles when he practiced the three exercises!He had mastered the Mirror Platform Spiritual Skill, and the Five Elements Qi Law Skill was also progressing very quickly, after all, the Five Elements realm was quite profound. However, Ning Zhuo was lacking in the Devil Blood-stained Tendon Skill, and his progress was quite average.

Ning Zhuo devoted most of his energy to comprehending the "Devil Blood-stained Tendon Technique", and only spent 20% of the time on the "Five Elements Qi Law Technique" as much as the former. Even so, the latter's progress far exceeded the former.

Ning Zhuo certainly didn't just practice martial arts, he also used the fetal breathing spirit ge to train his body.

The improvement of the physical body brings all-round benefits. Not to mention the distant past, just take the spiritual food in front of you as an example. As the physical body improves, the digestive ability also increases.

Finally, there is the soul.

"In this regard, my own requirements are the lowest. I just need to promote as much as possible, make up for the shortcomings, and stop being targeted so much."

Ning Zhuo thought so himself, but he didn't know that he was benchmarking against the two ghosts of heaven and earth, with extremely high standards, far exceeding those of soul cultivators.

The ghost tide continues to rise.

A large number of lantern ghosts appeared, releasing heavy Yin Fire, burning the white paper walls and attracting the attention of most people.

Sang Le You Ling suddenly sent a letter to the city guard commander Tie Gu Zheng.

Tie Guzheng swept his spiritual sense and immediately mobilized a group of city guards to gather on the west wall. He ordered them to use special paper daggers, not to worry about consumption, and to be ready for the enemy's ropes.

Sure enough, under the west city wall, a group of hanged ghosts gathered secretly, and under the cover of the Yin Fire, they released the noose together, tied it to the city wall, and climbed up rapidly.

However, the city guards were well prepared. When they saw the rope coming up, they immediately used paper daggers to cut it off.

Without the ropes, all the hanged men fell down, and most of them died tragically on the spot.

When the good news came back, Tiegu Zheng let out a breath and secretly thanked Sangle Youling for being as reliable as ever.

In Zangyang Villa, Ning Zhuo's soul power quietly rose to four hundred and fifty times that of an ordinary person.

……

Outside the city, thousands of ghosts were rushing and attacking the White Paper Immortal City.

In a corner of the city.

The Ghost Gate was secretly built, and they were about to cooperate inside and outside to break into the city.

Suddenly, Wen Runyu brought a group of city guards and rushed here.

As soon as the Ghost Gate spit out some ghost soldiers, they were blocked and directly wiped out!

Wen Runyu thought to herself that this was a close call. If it weren't for Sangle Youling's divination, which led to a large number of ghost soldiers being secretly sent through the Ghost Gate, the problem would have been difficult to deal with.

The noise and turmoil in the city were transmitted through the gates and walls of Zangyang Villa, causing the male concubines to talk about it.

On the list, Ning Zhuo was still ranked around forty-something. Under the watchful eye of the old man in the spirit kitchen, he silently ate several servings of ghost meals.

His soul strength has broken through the 500 mark, reaching more than 690 times that of an ordinary person.

……

"Woooooooo..."

Among the ghost tide, several huge ghost mothers appeared.

The bellies of these ghost mothers were bulging, and they kept giving birth to little and big ghosts, bringing in strong military forces.

"Kill!" Tie Gu Zheng, who had been reminded by Sang Le You Ling earlier, had organized a group of elite soldiers. They suddenly teleported into the ghost tide, killed the ghost mother, and then quickly escaped.

More than a dozen good fighters died and Tie Guzheng was slightly injured, but he also resolved the crisis.

Ning Zhuo's soul strength increased to eight hundred and thirty-eight times that of an ordinary person.

He finally got the chance.

A group of outstanding male concubines will be summoned and divined one by one by Sangle Youling. If they pass the divination, they will be successfully promoted to the three academies.
