Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1405: Chapter 559: Emergency Repair of the Treasure Furnace

If Ning Zhuo’s stunning performance made people pay attention and feel pressured, then Zhu Fenxiang’s subsequent attempt surprised everyone beyond measure.

"Zhu Fenxiang initially wanted to invoke the Nanming Vermilion Bird again, but decisively changed her mind halfway and invoked Thousand Hammers Lord instead."

"This young lady, despite her youth, has insight and decisiveness. She actually saw that the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit had been appeased and could continue the Artifact Refining, repairing the Pill Furnace to win the favor of the Artifact Spirit!"

"Magnificent, truly magnificent. Doesn’t this mean that I can do the same now?"

Some people’s gazes shifted to Ning Zhuo, and seeing his unsightly expression, they couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts—thanks to Ning Zhuo for using his Lifebound Magical Artifact to calm the Artifact Spirit and set the stage. At the same time, they were relieved that Ning Zhuo was the first in order rather than the last. If he were last, Ning Zhuo might have been the sole winner.

"The third one, Situ Xing," the Host Cultivator called softly.

Under the gaze of everyone, Situ Xing took out a Jade Slip from his sleeve, engraved it with Divine Sense, and then infused it with Mana.

The next moment, the Jade Slip transformed into a white light, flying towards the sky and vanishing into the clouds.

Situ Xing himself slowly walked to the center.

He stood in front of the Pill Furnace, paused for a moment, and waited for a subordinate of the Situ Family.

"Young Master, all the Treasure you wanted is here." This subordinate directly brought over a treasure chest.

Situ Xing took the iron chest, opened the lid, and instantly, treasure light shot to the sky.

Situ Xing first took three flags from the treasure chest and set them up in the field, forming a simple refining array.

He then took out various Treasure from the chest.

There was Xingluo Stone. The stone body was silver-white, shaped like a chessboard, its surface covered with intricate star patterns, resembling stars in the night sky.

There was Star Sand. It was deep blue with silver light, fine as powder, flowing in the box like a galaxy.

There were even Star Core Fragments. Their color was gold-white, shaped like a heart, with starlight swirling inside, like a living being.

Situ Xing, as a descendant of a large family, had solid basic skills. But to repair the Nanming Fire Furnace, these basic skills alone were not enough.

So, he temporarily borrowed flags to establish a refining array. These flags were all Magic Treasures, allowing him to refine beyond his level.

Situ Xing stood at the center of the refining array, activated Mana, and expelled Essence Blood, causing the flags to sway and Starfire to dance.

The flames burned, melting all the Treasure into one.

Situ Xing poured Treasure Liquid.

The precious liquid seeped into the charred cracks, and within the cracks of the Pill Furnace, fine silver-white Spirit Veins emerged, flowing on the furnace wall like miniature rivers of stars.

Soon, the star rivers solidified into shape, repairing a small part of the Nanming Fire Furnace.

Situ Xing withdrew his hand and let out a long breath.

His face was pale, his breath weak, but his eyes sparkled with a brilliant gleam.

The Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit curled into a ball.

Ning Zhuo secretly exerted strong control: "Come, show yourself."

The Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit then revealed its head again, chirping twice at Situ Xing, like a fledgling.

Seeing this scene, Situ Xing immediately displayed a look of obvious joy.

"I also bet correctly!" Situ Xing excitedly clenched his fist, and when he turned back to the crowd, he looked at Ning Zhuo with eyes full of mockery and irony.

"Thanks to your methods, Ning Zhuo."

"You paved the way for everyone!"

After Situ Xing, it was Zhong Limei.

This former Hall Master of the Alchemy Hall, one of the Supreme Elders of Danxia Peak, also decisively changed his original plan after witnessing Situ Xing’s results.

Zhong Limei walked to the fire furnace and stopped. He extended his hand, gently stroking the furnace wall, feeling the Spirit Light flowing through the repaired cracks.

Then, he sat down cross-legged.

He took out various precious Treasure and also began to repair the Pill Furnace.

At the critical moment, he let out a soft call and unexpectedly drew out a surge of Elixir Qi from his body, injecting it into the Pill Furnace.

The crowd couldn’t help but let out a low exclamation.

Especially Qing Baizi, who was severely shaken in body and mind.

Zhong Limei did not make a move, but once he did, he extracted three hundred years’ worth of accumulated Elixir Qi.

He injected it all into the Nanming Fire Furnace.

Zhong Limei’s warmth and gentleness, after being injected into the furnace, could increase the efficiency of refining pills by several degrees.

This was not just repairing, but "nourishing"! Something only extremely seasoned Alchemists could do—nurturing the Pill Furnace with Elixir Qi, enhancing its Spiritual Nature and clarifying the Spiritual Wisdom of the Artifact Spirit.

Zhong Limei’s face became pale, and when the time limit was up, even his actions of standing up were a bit shaky.

Ning Zhuo witnessed the entire process, and marveled in his heart: "The contribution that Zhong Limei made is too great, come on, little treasure, give him a call."

The Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit, under strong control, again poked out its bird head and chirped twice.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Limei revealed a weak smile, and subconsciously stroked his beard twice.

Chun Yangzi stepped out from the crowd.

His steps were firm and powerful, and the red-gold Daoist robe lightly swayed with his steps.

He walked to the fire furnace, stopped, and his gaze fell on the partly repaired Nanming Fire Furnace.

His eyes were filled with a determined look.

"Why have I brought the entire sect here to participate in the Myriad Images Sect’s Feiyun Conference?"

"Isn’t it for the chance to win the Nanming Fire Furnace?"

"With this Spiritual Treasure, I can easily secure a place on any of the great mountains within the Myriad Images Sect, saving the trouble of struggling for sect status."

At this moment, Chun Yangzi recalled his secret negotiation with Wang Yu last night.

"So the Nanming Fire Furnace, I must have it!"

"In terms of foundation, who can be stronger than me? I have the entire Pure Yang Sect backing me."
