Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

Chapter 1388: Chapter 550: Mother’s Divination (Part 2)

"However, if you want the Nanming Fire Furnace, there’s still a chance. I’ll help you! Just follow the method I suggest, and there’s a good chance of success."

Ning Zhuo’s eyes lit up immediately: "Alright then, mother! Even if the Pill Furnace is damaged, I can rely on it to negotiate with various major forces. It’s a very significant bargaining chip."

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin: "Come closer and listen."

Ning Zhuo leaned in with his large head.

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin softly instructed him, causing Ning Zhuo to widen his eyes and turn to look at her with a surprised expression: "Mother, is this feasible?"

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin: "If you act alone, it’s like exposing your cards, it naturally won’t work. But I, your mother, can perform techniques to cover for you. Monster Path has found an alternative way, and I’ve calculated that this method can help you conceal for three days. Within this time, as long as you can approach the Vermilion Bird Artifact Spirit, you will achieve great success. But after three days, you should stop while ahead and avoid greed!"

Ning Zhuo blinked his large eyes and after a while said: "Alright, mother, I’ll listen to you!"

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin laughed heartily, reached out to pat on Ning Zhuo’s large head, and praised: "Good child."

She restrained her smile and continued to guide: "Little Zhuo, if you get the Nanming Fire Furnace, you must be cautious and keep a low profile, do not be arrogant, be kind and make good connections."

Ning Zhuo: "Mother, I’ve always done it this way."

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin nodded: "Mother knows you’ve been a good child since you were little, acting rightly and sitting properly."

"But what you don’t know is that a person’s Life Plate has limited capacity, lifespans are certain, so the treasures and assets one can acquire in a lifetime are also capped."

"Just as the saying goes, too much can be as bad as too little, great wealth can be a burden. If you insist on obtaining them, you will invite disaster."

"You currently possess numerous treasures, my Buddha Heart Demon Seal, Yin Yang Qi Pot, Taixu Disintegration Ruler, Luoshu Book Pages, and even the King’s Seal of Luoshu. Alas, this seal is useless to you, someday find a good time to dispose of it. It’s already a great burden to you."

"You’ve cultivated the Three Superior Sect Techniques, Three Dantians Cultivation, something that countless people in the world desire? Also, you have the Cremation Prajna Spirit Liberation Sutra and Water Burial Peace and Virtue Scripture, Gao Sheng’s Legacy can be repaired someday. So many treasured scriptures, they are really cumbersome."

"It’s like your hands are already full, how will you acquire more in the future?"

"It’s better to give up some that are not suitable for you, so you have the strength and opportunity to acquire those that fit you."

Ning Zhuo also expressed distress: "Mother, acquiring these was indeed due to fate. Truth be told, I really want to return that King’s Seal to the Lord of Wangchuan. I don’t wish for Wangchuan Underworld to be defeated by Ghost Fire Underworld, and ultimately, they would invade my White Paper Immortal City with their combined forces."

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin sighed: "Little Zhuo, you see the situation clearly, not letting past grudges cloud your vision. With such foresight, mother can be slightly at ease. Oh, in the future, be more attentive to the White Paper City Lord."

"If you obtain the Nanming Pill Furnace, be even more careful!"

"In terms of divination: you are burdened with heavy treasures and originally have no connection with the Nanming Fire Furnace. From a normal perspective, how can a mere Foundation Establishment small cultivator possess a Spiritual Treasure, let alone a Pill Furnace?"

"You’ve understood from a young age the principle of ’A commoner with a treasure invites trouble’."

Ning Zhuo quickly connected the dots and understood: "Then, mother, if my cultivation level increases, reaching the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, reaching Golden Core, reaching Nascent Soul, could I expand my Life Plate, inflate my lifespan, and manage more treasures and scriptures?"

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin: "Naturally."

"Besides that, managing a sect, gathering talented people, utilizing their Life Plates and lifespans to bear more treasures and resources is also possible."

"The Myriad Images Sect is a leader in this path."

"Ah!" Ning Zhuo punched his palm, showing deep helplessness and sighing, "Mother, I also want to improve my cultivation level, but alas the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique is so complex that it drags down my cultivation progress. Child, wholeheartedly pursues the right path, yet cultivating demon skills is truly a weak point."

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin knocked on his head: "How old are you? How long have you been cultivating again? To have such progress, it’s already amazing! Hehe, with the continuation of the Feiyun Conference, you exchange for a higher token, when facing the Sect Treasure Bell, you must reveal some cultivation truths, such as age and cultivation techniques, you’ll surely astound everyone."

"My son is truly excellent!"

"Mother." Ning Zhuo laughed out loud foolishly.

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin advised: "You’ve affirmed that White Paper Immortal City is your cultivation treasure land, which is correct. But as you’ve chosen to cultivate the Three Superior Sect Techniques, your true destiny still aligns with the Three Sects Elders."

"The Three Sects Elders will certainly have more arrangements. If your cultivation progress is too fast, it will instead miss great opportunities."

Ning Zhuo instantly became serious: "Mother, are you referring to the Lava Fairy Palace?"

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin: "Correct. At least the cultivation techniques of the Three Superior Sect Techniques at the Golden Core Stage are stored in the Lava Fairy Palace. Before reaching the Golden Core, or at most after forming the Golden Core, you must enter the Immortal Palace again to study the Golden Core Stage’s cultivation techniques, and avoid independently deducing cultivation techniques and recklessly cultivating."

Ning Zhuo nodded emphatically: "Mother, I’ve remembered!"

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin continued: "Let’s return to discussing your Qi Fortune."

"Originally, I wouldn’t assist you in seizing the Nanming Pill Furnace. Should you grasp the Nanming Pill Furnace, it’s too much, likely to trigger various man-made disasters."

"However, I calculated your Qi Fortune, and right now you have a Monster Path Luck Star shining brightly, dissipating your Demon Path calamities. Consequently, I woke up in time to help you out of a bind."

"This Monster Path Luck Star has been consumed as a result, and once I return to slumber, no star glow will remain."

"Qi Fortune is like tides, ebbing and flowing with natural fluctuations. At that time, your fortune will be strong but dim, flourishing yet declining, inevitably plunging you into a period of low Qi Fortune."

"In this situation, obtaining the Nanming Fire Furnace would bring great trouble to you, inviting numerous disasters."

"Even if you manage to pass through it, you will likely expose your cards and invite greater trouble. And should the Cremation Prajna Spirit Liberation Sutra be revealed, the troubles it would invite would be even greater than the Nanming Fire Furnace!"

"Furthermore, should your identity as the Deputy City Lord of White Paper Immortal City be exposed, how do you think the higher-ups of the Myriad Images Sect would treat you? After all, you are not yet considered a member of the Myriad Images Sect. Even if you were, you would still be quite vulnerable."

Ning Zhuo listened to these words, breaking out in a cold sweat profusely.

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin shifted her tone: "However, I calculated an external calamity impacting you. This calamity is closely related to the Myriad Images Sect, tightly entangled, hard to distinguish friend from foe."

"Because of this, if you acquire the Nanming Fire Furnace, it can be considered to respond to this calamity, not forcibly depleting resources."

Ning Zhuo: "What? What external calamity is it?"

Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin shook her head: "How could I know everything? Little Zhuo, don’t think your mother is omniscient, if that were the case, how would I have ended up in such a situation?"

"Mother... I will certainly find a way to revive you!" Ning Zhuo said earnestly.

"Good child, as long as I overcome the Dao Injury, I’m satisfied to accompany you in my current state." Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin’s voice trembled slightly, quite moved.

"Mother’s body and soul have already perished. Should you insist, it would instead burden mother’s heart."

Ning Zhuo: "Mother, I naturally understand the principle of ’acting in due time’."

"Mm." Buddhist Doctor Meng Yaoyin continued to advise, "Once you obtain the Fire Furnace, it formally triggers this calamity. With my methods, I have no way to control it. So, once the calamity begins, until it’s exhausted, it counts as its entirety."

"In this calamity, blessings and misfortunes intertwine deeply. Obtaining the Nanming Fire Furnace is a blessing for you, but for someone or some force within the Myriad Images Sect, it’s a calamity disaster."

"As a result, you will offend many people and various forces, and the challenges you face will come one after another, even becoming quite challenging."

Ning Zhuo frowned: "Mother, then I would prefer to be more cautious. Why not give up the Nanming Fire Furnace, wait until I successfully join the Myriad Images Sect, or even return to White Paper Immortal City, then trigger this calamity, wouldn’t it be more secure?"
