Dark.
A darkness.
In the endless darkness, Ning Zhuo gradually came back to his senses.
"What happened?"
"Where is this?!"
At this moment, a piece of information was directly conveyed to the bottom of his heart along the hanging thread of human life: "Lava Immortal Palace, mechanism inheritance, hanging silk attracting souls, qi refining test...... Leave room one and enter room two."
Ning Zhuo's spirit suddenly lifted and he understood the whole story.
"From this point of view, the three-layer peak of qi refinement is the first criterion for selection."
"I have reached it, so my soul was dragged into the Lava Immortal Palace, and the second step of the test began."
"This is very different from the message left by my mother!"
"Sure enough, the appearance of the Dharma Transmission Bell is already heralding - the way monks in the Qi Refinement Period compete for the Lava Immortal Palace is completely different from the previous foundation building period, golden elixir period, primordial infant period, etc.!"
"If you think about it carefully, it makes sense."
"Once the monk reaches the foundation building period, the dantian is completely transformed and stabilized. If you want to modify the exercises, it is extremely difficult and almost impossible."
"And during the Qi refining period, I took advantage of the fact that the dantian was not finalized, so I directly changed to practice, which is still the Five Elements Qi Rhythm of practice. This is the lava fairy palace, it is their own child."
"Compared with those outsiders who practice other exercises, the distance is clear at a glance."
"It's just ......."
"Leave room one and enter room two? What should I do?"
Ning Zhuo calmed down and felt carefully in the endless darkness.
He gradually felt that his soul did not exist independently, but resided in an object, and there was a cloud of spiritual power hidden in this object.
Ning Zhuo tried to mobilize this spiritual power, but to no avail.
He used his brain and used the Five Elements Qi Rhythm to mobilize, and there was an immediate reaction.
The spiritual power mobilized, following the operation path of the Five Elements Qi Rhythm, and began to flow slowly inside the object where the soul was staying.
From this, Ning Zhuo gradually sensed that his soul residence was like a long square box.
"A coffin?" Ning Zhuo guessed.
"In addition, I am very familiar with the feeling of spiritual power mobilization."
"It should be a spirit stone. It is from it that I draw spiritual power."
"There is a limit to the spiritual power in the spirit stone, and I am continuing to consume spiritual power by running the exercises like this."
Ning Zhuo stopped his exercises and fell into hesitation.
He pondered in the darkness and couldn't find any more clues.
"It seems that this is the only option......"
Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.
He never lacks the courage to take risks.
This time, he tried his best to urge the Five Elements Qi Rhythm Technique, causing the spiritual power to be severely consumed, and he did not stop.
The aura began to escape from the "long square box".
The escaped spiritual energy, like his tentacles, made Ning Zhuo gradually have a vague sense.
"In that direction, there seems to be something." Ning Zhuo sensed a certain existence in the darkness.
Moreover, this existence also seemed to echo him faintly.
Ning Zhuo's heart was crossed, and he urged his spiritual power to the strongest.
The feeling of echoing suddenly became stronger, and in the next few breaths, the degree of echo skyrocketed dozens of times!
Until, a mysterious hard object suddenly hit the long square box where Ning Zhuo's soul was staying.
The spiritual energy escaping everywhere quickly pulled the long square box and the mysterious hard object together and directly combined them.
Ning Zhuo's spiritual energy radiating outward suddenly had a new place to go.
The spiritual power was instilled in the mysterious hard object, allowing Ning Zhuo to gradually feel the shape of this mysterious hard object.
"Like, like...... An arm?"
Ning Zhuo's heart was like a bolt of lightning, and he suddenly had a conjecture.
He continued to operate the exercises, affirming his previous guess.
This is indeed an arm, with a palm at the front of the arm and a total of four fingers on the palm.
In the dark, Ning Zhuo understood it carefully.
He tried to wave his arms, then extended his palms, moved his fingers, and groped around.
He didn't have any sense of touch, but the spiritual power that spread outward began to echo other mysterious objects.
After a while, a cube hard object was also sucked into Ning Zhuo's body and combined.
The darkness that was bothering him suddenly dissipated, and Ning Zhuo's vision lit up in an instant.
He finally saw everything around him!
This is a room with a huge space, and countless mechanical accessories are stacked in the room. Torso, head, hands and feet, tail, horns, wings, etc.
These mechanism accessories are varied, all made of wood and brownish-yellow.
And he was rather clumsy, on a hill piled up with these mechanical accessories.
Ning Zhuo observed himself.
"My guess is correct!"
The long square box where his soul was staying before was a cuboid mechanical torso part.
The first one to suck it in with spiritual power was the left arm.
The second spliced cube is a boxy mechanical skull part.
"Sure enough, it's a head!"
"I have a head!"
"This head is quite big."
Ning Zhuo was overjoyed.
The head parts have eye-like accessories, so he can see.
After having the ability to observe, Ning Zhuo is much more convenient.
He concocted it in the same way, found another part in the hill of mechanical accessories, and spliced it onto himself.
When he climbed from the hilly pile of mechanical parts to the ground, he was already on his hands and feet.
"Is it the body of a mechanical doll......"
At this time, Ning Zhuo's body was a long square box. He has two legs, one slightly thinner and the other slightly thicker, and the height is not exactly the same.
His two arms are the same length, but the two hands only have three and four fingers, respectively.
And his big head was square, disproportionate to his torso, and looked a little dull.
"With a body, although you can move freely like a human, the consumption of spiritual power has also increased a lot."
Ning Zhuo always paid attention to the spirit stone in his torso. So far, he has consumed nearly half of that spiritual power.
"Among the other torso parts, there should be spirit stones stored. I can take it out for later use."
However, Ning Zhuo found the torso parts and was about to start when new information came and told him that other parts were not allowed to be destroyed.
"Then I'll splice another body." As soon as Ning Zhuo took action, another piece of information came - the number of spiritual power components, the current upper limit allowed is one.
Ning Zhuo had no choice but to stand up.
He thought of the first message - asking him to enter the second room from the first room.
This is the assessment standard.
"The second assessment has no time limit on the surface, but in fact it is not."
"Because the number of spiritual power components is only one, and the spiritual power in the spirit stone will continue to be depleted."
"We must complete the first assessment before the spiritual power is completely exhausted."
"I should get out of here as soon as possible."
Room 1 is very spacious, with red copper walls and a golden roof, and bright light.
Ning Zhuo had already seen the only door in the room.
He limped to the door.
He came to the door, and as soon as his fingers touched the door, another message was conveyed.
A spirit stone, a hanging ring on a mechanism component, and a spell "A Breath of Qi".
"Can you only choose one of them?"
