My Buddha Heart Demon Seal

"Ning Zhuo should be the one begging me to handle this matter."

"It shouldn't be me rushing to arrange things for him."

"I am his paternal uncle, his elder!"

"If I really did that, wouldn't it make him arrogant and look down on me from now on!"

"How can I discipline him in the future?"

However, circumstances were beyond his control.

The young clan leader, Ning Xiaoren, had already pushed Ning Ze into a corner, and Ning Ze did not want to give up his steward position.

What should he do?

Ning Ze racked his brain for a long time but couldn't find a good solution.

In the afternoon, Ning Zhuo returned.

In the Central Hall, Ning Zhuo once again paid his respects to Ning Ze and Wang Lan, stating his purpose: "This time, I mainly came to take away my daily necessities."

Previously, while studying at the academy, Ning Zhuo's usual residence was here. He only went back to live alone on weekends.

Ning Ze pretended to care and asked about his recent situation.

Ning Zhuo secretly activated the power of the precious seal in his sea of consciousness, while telling the couple that he had found a job at a Mechanical Workshop with very good benefits.

After a brief conversation, Ning Zhuo excused himself and left.

Wang Lan watched his retreating back and snorted coldly: "What Flying Disc Workshop? I've never even heard of it. What future can such a small workshop have?"

Ning Ze's face was expressionless: "Young people are like that, full of ambition. They have to go through some hardships to understand how difficult the world is."

Seeing Ning Zhuo's stubbornness, Ning Ze became even more averse to the idea of giving him money and pulling strings for him.

"Wait, maybe I can use his personality to my advantage," Ning Ze suddenly thought of a good idea.

He sneered: "Little Zhuo is too bookish and young, he likes adventure and excitement."

"I remember that many of the family's cultivators have joined the Demon Hunting Society and go in and out of the Crimson Flame Demon Lava Cave to hunt volcanic demonic beasts."

"I can ask someone to provoke Little Zhuo into hunting demons!"

His aunt became worried: "Won't that be too dangerous?"

She was reluctant to spend the money, but she also didn't want to see Ning Zhuo injured or killed.

His uncle shook his head slightly: "There are already quite a few Ning family members in the Demon Hunting Society."

"Besides, this time the young clan leader asked me to purchase a full 80 As-You-Wish Ropes, which clearly indicates that our clan is going to extensively explore the Crimson Flame Demon Lava Cave."

"By then, with the protection of the family's power, Little Zhuo's safety should not be a problem."

"Little Zhuo is young and hot-blooded, he likes excitement and adventure, and wants to work hard alone to achieve success. He is stubborn, dislikes my arrangements, and is determined to join the Demon Hunting Society! How's that explanation? Hahaha."

"The beauty of it is that the exploration of the Crimson Flame Demon Lava Cave is also a family matter. Ning Zhuo is contributing to the family; strictly speaking, this is also a family business. The young clan leader won't be able to use this to control me."

"Of course, the money still needs to be sent."

"However, the cost of arranging for Little Zhuo to join the Demon Hunting Society is much lower than entering the Family Business!"

His aunt blinked, lowered her head, and thought for a moment. "That's a good idea."

"But, dear."

"Since the family is planning a big move in the Crimson Flame Demon Lava Cave, there will definitely be many opportunities to earn merit. What about our Ji Er..."

His uncle immediately glared and scolded, "Are you crazy? Swords and blades have no eyes on the battlefield. If Ji Er goes up there and something happens, what if there's an accident? Do you want us white-haired people to send off a black-haired person?"

"Ah?" His aunt immediately panicked and said hurriedly, "I was thinking wrong, thinking too much. It's safest for Ji Er to just stay home and make talismans!"

Neither of the couple noticed that as Ning Zhuo bowed and turned to leave, two streams of fresh blood flowed from his nostrils.

Ning Ze thought this was his own idea and was secretly pleased.

Little did he know, this was actually the result of Ning Zhuo's active influence.

The sun set, and night enveloped Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

Ning Zhuo took a deep breath and, with a slightly nervous and uneasy feeling, opened the Pill Furnace.

"Very good, it passed!"

Looking at the perfectly intact Mechanical Fire Ape, Ning Zhuo relaxed, his heart leaping with joy.

Then, his mind stirred.

A seal hidden in his sea of consciousness slightly flickered with light.

It was the magic treasure his mother had left him – My Buddha Heart Demon Seal!

The top of the seal was carved with a Buddha statue and a demon head, standing back to back, forming a stark contrast. The Buddha statue had a serene expression and compassionate eyes, while the demon head appeared ferocious, its gaze like fire.

The main body of the seal was shaped like a round basin, with Sanskrit talismans appearing and disappearing around it.

The bottom of the seal was inscribed with immortal script, the characters ancient and simple, with only four large characters: "My Buddha Heart Demon."

One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon.

I am the Buddha, I am also the demon.

When the seal reflects oneself, it is My Buddha's compassion, saving oneself and others. When the seal reflects others, it can project a cultivator's thoughts and ideas into the sea of consciousness of others, influencing and changing their thoughts. At this time, it becomes the heart demon of others.

Ning Zhuo suffered a lot and paid a great price to hide this treasure. He bought a large amount of Golden Silk Jade Dew Cake, mainly to expand his sea of consciousness, increase his foundation, and painstakingly bear the burden of this magic treasure.

He also gained a lot from this magic treasure!

For example, before, when he mingled in the Black Market under the identity of the Tassel-Haired Wanderer. When he was robbed by demonic cultivators, Ning Zhuo used this treasure to shock the enemy's mind and create a flaw. Even if it was only a momentary flaw, it repeatedly allowed him to win easily.

Another example is today, in order to influence Ning Ze, he forcefully activated the magic treasure in front of him, drawing out a trace of its power. Only then did Ning Ze have the "inspiration" and think of the plan to arrange for Ning Zhuo to join the Demon Hunting Society.

But Ning Zhuo's soul was also weakened, his spirit was feeble, and his nostrils bled profusely as a result.

"Uncle is in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and I am only at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage. It is very difficult to influence him, and I paid some price."

"It's not like when I was acting in the Black Market, wearing the Azure Iron Han Armor, I had the ability of Foundation Establishment and could draw out more power from this seal, easily shaking Foundation Establishment stage enemies."

"However, the true use of this seal is not here, but for controlling mechanisms!"

Ning Zhuo activated the power of the seal, forming a heart print.

The heart print was light pink and shot into the mechanical monkey's body in an instant.

The next moment, the mechanical monkey opened its eyes and leaped out of the pill furnace on its own!

The mechanical Fire Ape was agile and nimble, leaping around the underground workshop, moving up and down freely without disturbing anything. Its movements were light or heavy as it pleased.

If anyone else saw this scene, their jaw would drop.

There are many ways to control mechanisms, the mainstream being divine sense control. However, cultivators normally need Foundation Establishment stage cultivation to possess divine sense.

Ning Zhuo had also equipped the Fire Ape with a divine sense receiving device. This meant that this type of mechanical creation was intended for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

However, even an experienced Foundation Establishment stage mechanist would find it difficult to control the Fire Ape with such agility using divine sense.

This was because the Fire Ape's divine sense receiving components were three pellets that Ning Zhuo had cleverly devised to save costs. Compared to a standard formation plate, the control performance was greatly reduced. Therefore, it wasn't that the mechanist's skill was insufficient, but rather that the control performance of this mechanical Fire Ape was inherently low.

However, the Fire Ape controlled by Ning Zhuo was like a real monkey, incredibly lifelike!

It was all thanks to the heart print.

As the saying goes, hearts are connected.

After Ning Zhuo planted a heart print on the mechanical monkey using My Buddha Heart Demon Seal, he could directly command the monkey with his mind. This method of control was more convenient and effective than divine sense.

Ning Zhuo controlled the monkey as it flew up and down, and also tried storing Fire Essence, all of which went smoothly.

"Years of preparation, finally completed at this moment!" The young man sighed with emotion, thinking of the Magma Immortal Palace, a determined light flashing in his eyes.
