Ning Zhuo then took out the Misty Orchid.
"Miss Lin, this is my first time leaving my hometown to travel."
"I passed through Misty Peak, intending to ascend high and gaze far. Turning a corner, the mountain mist receded, revealing the changing celestial clouds, the rising sun, the solemn mountains, and the winding rivers."
"I saw a sheer cliff and discovered a few Misty Orchids. The Misty Orchids were shrouded in thin mist, gently swaying, as if a new world was beckoning to me."
"I took these Misty Orchids, holding them in my hands, and could feel an unprecedented sense of beauty. The world was so vast, life was so wondrous, all contained within the mountains and flora."
"Just as my current journey across the world, seeking knowledge from all directions, the road ahead may be endless, but it also holds countless opportunities. For this, my heart is filled with anticipation."
"That day, when I saw you on the back mountain of Great Strife Peak, my feelings were so similar to that day on the mountain."
"Miss Lin, you are pure and refined, naturally superior to the Misty Orchid. But I secretly feel that the day I picked flowers in the mountains and then met you later was like a destined encounter, a reflection of time."
"Perhaps, the Misty Orchid merely passed through my hands to meet you, Miss. Heroes admire each other, and beauties pity each other; such is the principle."
Lin Shanshan was involuntarily drawn in by Ning Zhuo's words.
Ning Zhuo's praise was full of romance, not at all vulgar. He expressed his "genuine feelings," which resonated with Lin Shanshan even more.
A sense of admiration arose in Lin Shanshan's heart.
After all, in these twenty-one years, she had only occasionally gone out with her father to visit friends and had never truly left the sect to venture out on her own.
The beautiful feeling of traveling alone in all directions, as described by Ning Zhuo, deeply moved her.
Ning Zhuo seized the opportunity, took a step forward, and handed out the Misty Orchid.
By the time Lin Shanshan reacted, she had already found herself holding a Misty Orchid in her hands.
She sighed in her heart and said with emotion, "Previously, I did not know your experiences, Young Master. Now that I do, I understand your intention. Then I will accept this Misty Orchid."
Ning Zhuo laughed heartily, "Thank you, Miss Lin, for fulfilling a small delusion of mine!"
Ning Zhuo invited Lin Shanshan to sit down again and poured her tea.
He said, "Miss Lin and I felt like old friends at first sight. Thinking back to our first meeting now, I still feel it was an arrangement of fate, a result of destiny."
"The matter of Li Jingqing and Hanzhou has given me many insights."
"Thinking of how Li Jingqing cooperated with your sect, bought herbs, and sold them extensively, my Ning family also has such needs."
"Perhaps through the connection between you and me, we can achieve mutual benefit for both sides."
"Oh?" Lin Shanshan showed a hint of surprise, not expecting Ning Zhuo to suddenly discuss these matters.
Although Lin Shanshan had been protected by her father and senior brothers since childhood and was not deeply involved in worldly affairs, she was also a disciple of a major sect and had received relevant training since childhood.
She immediately entered the state, the faint blush on her face receded, replaced by a solemn expression. After carefully choosing her words, she gave Ning Zhuo a positive and affirmative response.
According to Ning Zhuo, his family possessed Nascent Soul level combat power, which should not be taken lightly and needed to be treated equally.
Even Lin Bufan himself would treat it with seriousness.
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect itself lacked combat power and had been absorbing outer cultivators, so it would not neglect them or do the foolish thing of turning friends into enemies.
Ning Zhuo then proposed that he wanted to inspect the goods of the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect and seek ways for mutual cooperation.
After a few words with Ning Shanshan, Lin Shanshan said that she could not make decisions on many matters and had to report first.
After saying goodbye to Lin Shanshan, Ning Zhuo began to cultivate.
He took out a cushion, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes in meditation, and examined himself.
Divine Sea Upper Dantian!
He indeed saw many bitter cold true meanings, swirling together like clouds and mist, desolate and miserable.
The bitter cold true meanings were restrained by the Buddha light, and from beginning to end, they did not penetrate or spread into Ning Zhuo's divine sea.
What accomplished this was precisely My Buddha Heart Demon Seal!
This magical treasure converts others into demons and oneself into a Buddha. Externally, Ning Zhuo could act as a heart demon and exert subtle underlying influence. Internally, he could guard himself and maintain the purity of his own thoughts.
After the bitter cold true meanings entered Ning Zhuo's body, they immediately triggered the automatic protection of My Buddha Heart Demon Seal.
All the true meanings were collected by the Buddha light, restrained, and firmly controlled, waiting for Ning Zhuo to personally handle them.
Ning Zhuo exerted his full strength, barely managing to stir a bit of the power of My Buddha Heart Demon Seal.
Immediately, Buddha light surged in the divine sea, continuously wearing down and wearing down the bitter cold true meanings, transforming them into a pure and harmless understanding that flowed into the depths of Ning Zhuo's heart.
"Bitter Cold Qi, Bitter Cold Sutra..."
Ning Zhuo's understanding of the Bitter Cold Sutra rapidly increased!
"Cultivating the Bitter Cold Sutra allows one to greatly enhance oneself through suffering and hardship. As the saying goes: those who eat bitterness among the bitter are the superior people, and there is also suffering first, then sweetness. Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, so he must first suffer in his mind, labor his muscles and bones..."
"Excellent cultivation techniques are one aspect of the principles of heaven and earth."
"Learned, learned."
Ning Zhuo digested all the bitter cold true meanings and his understanding of the Bitter Cold Sutra deepened greatly.
He was very happy and sent this good news to Sun Lingtong via sound transmission.
When Sun Lingtong was not out, he stayed in the Ten Thousand Mile Roaming Dragon. This mechanical roaming dragon was worn by Ning Zhuo as a belt.
Upon receiving Ning Zhuo's good news, Sun Lingtong was also happy for Ning Zhuo: "With My Buddha Heart Demon Seal, can't you fleece those bald donkeys, little brother?"
"Let them use their cultivation techniques to save you, and you can take the opportunity to learn from them. Wonderful, truly wonderful!"
Ning Zhuo said, "Not just me. If you, boss, use My Buddha Heart Demon Seal, you can do it too."
Sun Lingtong nodded: "Interesting, I'll try it when I have a chance in the future."
Ning Zhuo said again: "Right now, isn't there this opportunity? Boss, you can pretend to be someone else, wear My Buddha Heart Demon Seal, and fight Hanzhou."
Sun Lingtong said: "Can I do it? If my identity or relationship with you is discovered, won't it affect the subsequent plans?"
Ning Zhuo sighed: "Boss, don't I understand your nature? It's too difficult for you to be here and stay in the Ten Thousand Mile Roaming Dragon the whole time."
"Boss, you've always been helping me. It was fine in Fire Persimmon Immortal City before. Now that we're traveling outside, you still have to make sacrifices for my purpose, and I don't want to do that."
"Even if it's discovered, it doesn't matter. We'll think of other ways."
Sun Lingtong suddenly understood: "I understand."
"You just talked to Lin Shanshan about cooperation to find another way. You want to exchange benefits for the Embryonic Breath Spirit Vessel?"
"This is a treasure of inheritance, and the price is not low."
Ning Zhuo smiled: "Let's take it as it comes."
Sun Lingtong chuckled: "Good, good, as expected of someone I've mentored."
"To be honest, I'm really bored. I've been itching to get out since I arrived at Ten Thousand Medicine Valley."
"I'm going out to steal like mad! Hahaha."
Ning Zhuo: "Huh?"
Sun Lingtong said again: "Don't worry, little Zhuo. First, I have a sense of proportion. After all, it's someone else's territory, and I won't easily risk getting caught. Second, I really don't like that Li Jingqing. Dealing with him is also getting revenge for you."
Ning Zhuo nodded slightly: "Boss, please be careful. I don't want to bail you out of the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect's prison."
Sun Lingtong couldn't wait any longer. He concealed himself and drilled out of the Ten Thousand Mile Roaming Dragon, taking small steps and running outwards.
Ning Zhuo transmitted a sound and shouted: "Boss, take My Buddha Heart Demon Seal with you."
Sun Lingtong waved his hand: "Wait a minute, I'll have some fun with Li Jingqing first!"
Obviously, compared to fighting, he enjoyed the thrill of stealing more.
"Being targeted by Boss Sun..." Ning Zhuo secretly mourned for Li Jingqing in his heart.
Original Mountain.
Lin Shanshan came to the study and reported to her father, Lin Bufan, about the cooperation with the Ning family.
Lin Bufan also became serious when he heard that the Ning family possessed Nascent Soul level combat power.
He pondered, "You can further contact him and let him experience the profound foundation of our sect. Just so, tomorrow is the day for distributing goods, which is a very suitable opportunity to demonstrate the strength of our sect. Don't make promises lightly. The specific details of the cooperation will have to wait until the investigation results are returned."
Lin Shanshan nodded.
Lin Bufan subtly glanced at his daughter, and as if inadvertently, said: "What do you think of this person Ning Zhuo?"
Lin Shanshan smiled: "He is sincere in his dealings with others, and I can feel his genuine sincerity, like the morning sun."
"He is also open and upright in his conduct. This can be seen from how he treated Li Jingqing and Hanzhou."
"What is even more commendable is his humble and upright character. Even with Golden Core level trump cards, he still cultivates diligently and constantly improves himself. Such drive is actually rare for someone of his background."
"From this perspective, it is completely normal for him to have a casting foundation that surpasses mine at such a young age."
"By the way, he also knows how to repay favors. He also said he would give me a spirit talisman."
Lin Bufan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Suddenly, he regretted arranging for Lin Shanshan to receive Ning Zhuo just now.
The words had already been spoken, and retracting them now would not be good.
Lin Bufan thought for a moment and said: "A long road reveals a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's heart. Hearing your words, I also have a good impression of this junior Ning Zhuo. However, the first impression often requires caution."
Lin Shanshan smiled: "Father, I understand. You taught me these principles since I was young. I also know that the information about Ning Zhuo and the Ning family is just what he said, and it has not been verified at all. This is one thing."
"Secondly, even if it is all true, your daughter will not actively concede the interests of the sect because of the good feelings in her heart!"
"Father, reminding me like this is a bit of an underestimation."
"Hahaha!" Lin Bufan stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "Good, it's father who is overly worried."
"My daughter knows what's important! Unlike Jiu'er, who is still muddle-headed at this age and addicted to wine!"
Lin Shanshan followed suit: "Father, although Big Senior Brother is imprisoned, every time I visit him, he is concerned about your old self."
Lin Bufan snorted: "Old self? I am not old!"
"Moreover, does this kid have this leisure?"
"Go, go, don't always try to beg for mercy while your father is in a good mood."
Lin Bufan waved his hands repeatedly.
Lin Shanshan pouted and had to say: "Father, your daughter will take her leave."
