Chapter 406: Obtaining the Spirit Boat

At this moment, another Dharma body, having fought for a long time, retreated and revealed himself.

This person had a broad forehead and hair as black as ink, tied only with a simple cloth band.He was tall and slender, walking with a leisurely gait, dressed in a plain robe, with a blue medicine pouch and a simple bamboo flute hanging from his belt.In one hand, he held a gnarled wooden staff, and in the other, a notebook.The notebook had a title – "Records of Journeys".This was yet another historical figure, whose image was quite classic in various records and texts. Therefore, as soon as people saw him, they knew his identity.Xu Xing!This person was a famous traveler, who in his lifetime had traversed famous mountains and great rivers, visited the five lakes, roamed the four seas, and explored dangerous secret realms multiple times. The travel records he left behind, titled "Records of Journeys", were highly sought after by later generations.There were a total of sixteen volumes of the "Records of Journeys", and they had never been assembled in their entirety since Xu Xing's death. Many volumes, because they recorded the exploration and entry methods of secret realms, were tightly controlled by major powers and forbidden from being spread.Xu Xing also quite liked promising juniors like Ning Zhuo, and was the first to explain: "This requires talking about the limits of the Mirrored Jade Wall and the origins of the Dynasties.""The Mirrored Jade Wall was formed during the Martial Emperor's era. At that time, heaven and earth had not yet assimilated the Dao of Demons and Devils, and the Mirrored Jade Wall was limited by the original principles of heaven and earth.""Therefore, the Dao of the Five Elements could be mirrored, the Dao of Qiankun could be mirrored, the Dao of Yin and Yang, the Four Symbols, and the Eight Trigrams could be mirrored, but the Dao of Demons and Devils could not."Ning Zhuo suddenly understood.Xu Xing continued: "The three great dynasties in this world are essentially born from the flourishing of external Daos, which shattered the old order.""For example, the Blood Slaughter Dynasty was when the principles of Demons and Devils were captured by the world, and from then on, there were Demons and Devils in this world.""After the Prohibiting Dynasty, heaven and earth gained Gods and Buddhas.""After the Night Rain Dynasty, Ghosts and Monsters appeared in the world.""Only extremely powerful external Daos, capable of creating Dynasties, could cause heaven and earth to shake and powers to be reshuffled.""But for these external Daos, the Mirrored Jade Wall is quite fragile and cannot mirror them. Only when heaven and earth adapt and assimilate can the Jade Wall benefit and be able to reflect aspects of their external Daos."The Five Elements Godlord interjected: "Previously, the purple saber scar you unleashed originated from the Night Rain Dynasty, and is a manifestation of the Ghost and Monster external Dao.""The Mirrored Jade Wall simply cannot assimilate or mirror it. Although the damage is minimal, its essence cannot be erased, and it can ultimately only be removed."Ning Zhuo suddenly realized.The Mirrored Jade Wall was refined in a time too ancient, and inherently had limits, unable to adapt to and bear external Daos.So many years had passed since the Night Rain Dynasty, yet it still couldn't adapt to the Dao of Ghosts and Monsters, and could only perform removal.Therefore, once a brand new Dynasty appeared, it must be because an extremely powerful external Dao was absorbed into the world. During such a period, the heroes and experts who emerged were all masters of the external Dao.For these people, the Mirrored Jade Wall could not mirror them, and they also posed a significant threat to the Mirrored Jade Wall.Therefore, the Mirrored Jade Wall would sink into the earth's core during every Dynasty, avoiding the world.This also explained why the Five Elements Godlord was very surprised when he saw the purple saber scar earlier.According to common sense, the Mirrored Jade Wall was supposed to absorb the Dharma bodies of later generations. The Five Elements Godlord was a senior here and should have seen it a long time ago.But when he saw the purple saber scar, he was quite surprised, his expression shaken.The Mirrored Jade Wall had avoided the world during the Prohibiting Dynasty and the Night Rain Dynasty, giving way to the great era. Although it missed out on many exciting events, it was precisely this action that allowed it to survive to this day!Immortal Concubine Jingyu proactively discussed cooperation with everyone.Previously, through the Herb Saint, she had revealed to Lin Bufan that he should try to practice martial arts in the Myriad Medicine Valley as much as possible to attract excellent later generations, which would be convenient for the Jade Wall's mirroring.But what Lin Bufan could attract were only Foundation Establishment and Golden Core level cultivators.This was quite insufficient for the Mirrored Jade Wall.Now, with Ning Zhuo representing the Ning family and Zhu Xuanji representing the Southern Bean royal family, Immortal Concubine Jingyu had more options.Immortal Concubine Jingyu hoped that Ning Zhuo, Zhu Xuanji, and others could recruit excellent junior cultivators for the Mirrored Jade Wall, the higher their strength and talent, the better.Immortal Concubine Jingyu was preparing for a Dynasty appearing several hundred years later, which would cause the Mirrored Jade Wall to retreat for many years. The demon lair within the wall would evolve, and the old Dharma bodies would find it difficult to suppress the backlash of the demon beasts, ultimately leading to the failure of suppression and封禁.Therefore, taking advantage of this juncture before the great era of contention, Immortal Concubine Jingyu needed to absorb more fighting power.To put it simply, the Mirrored Jade Wall was like a giant whale, coming to the surface to inhale air before diving deep into the seabed for a long period of time.At this time, the more air it needed to inhale, the better, and the higher the quality, the better.But Immortal Concubine Jingyu also didn't want to make a big fuss.After all, the Mirrored Jade Wall was a quasi-immortal artifact, with enormous value. If it attracted the major powers or high-level cultivators of the current era, and they made a move to seize the Mirrored Jade Wall for themselves, it would be undesirable.What was even more worrying was encountering some cultivators with ulterior motives, or getting caught in the vortex of power struggles, which would interfere with and destroy the Mirrored Jade Wall's seals and suppressions. This would greatly violate the original intention of the Mirrored Jade Wall's creation!Facing the cooperation proposed by Immortal Concubine Jingyu, Lin Bufan's expression was complicated, while the Ning and Zhu sides readily agreed.Are you kidding me!Anyone who didn't agree was an absolute fool!!The demon lair represented an endless stream of resources, which were also sources of wealth.Countless Dharma bodies of ancient sages represented countless excellent inheritances.The Mirrored Jade Wall, when used properly, would become the best place for practice and training.The Myriad Medicine Sect, the Ning family, the Zhu family, and even the national strength of the Southern Bean Kingdom would all be enhanced by this cooperation!Negotiations regarding this cooperation lasted for three days and three nights.After the negotiations yielded results, Ning Zhuo, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, collapsed into sleep.When he woke up the next day, he still felt exhausted and dispirited, having put too much effort into the negotiations. But there was no other way!The huge interests involved in this required him to fight for them to the best of his ability. For every extra share he gained now, the development speed of the entire Ning branch family would surge several times, or even a dozen times! Their future strength would also expand several times, or even a dozen times.Ning Zhuo and Ning Jiufan were like one, leveraging the Zhu family, squeezing out the Myriad Medicine Sect, arguing with Immortal Concubine Jingyu, dragging in Linghu Jiu, and using the relationships with the Five Elements Godlord and the Lone Sword Monarch to constantly pester them. This left Linghu Jiu dumbfounded and Lin Shanshan grinding her teeth.The final result was that Ning Zhuo bit off a significant chunk of the pie.As long as the cooperation continued, over a period of nearly five hundred years, Ning Zhuo and the entire Ning clan would benefit immensely. The development speed of the entire branch family would be further boosted, soaring significantly!Myriad Medicine Valley.In the highest-level medicinal field formation, Ning Zhuo cupped his hands in a bow: "Miss Lin."Lin Shanshan glared at him irritably, then bowed to Ning Jiufan, who had come with him: "Senior Ning, Young Master Ning, please come with me this way."During the previous negotiations, Ning Zhuo had shed all pretense, arguing heatedly with Lin Bufan multiple times, deeply offending this daughter of the Sect Master once again.Their relationship, which had softened slightly before, dropped back to freezing point this time.So much so that when Ning Zhuo tried to start a conversation with Lin Shanshan, he received no response.Lin Shanshan led Ning Zhuo into the formation within the formation.Here, he saw Lin Bufan again, as well as the Lingyin Willow.The Lingyin Willow was now showing signs of green, its originally dry branches had at least half of their fullness restored. Compared to its previously withered state, it had greatly improved.Ning Jiufan stroked his beard and immediately praised: "Boy, I told you it was absolutely right to entrust this spiritual plant to Sect Master Lin."Ning Zhuo was very happy, circling the tree three times and patting the trunk: "Old Willow, I've gone through a lot of trouble to finally save you, this is great."The willow branches swayed gently, seemingly trying to brush against Ning Zhuo's face, but they only trembled slightly and stopped halfway, appearing like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness failing to lift their hand, lacking much strength.Lin Bufan: ...He was quite speechless and immediately stated that he had used all sorts of resources, all of which were rare items, to save this Lingyin Willow. He had gone all out, and even mobilized the elders within the Myriad Medicine Sect to work together, expending a lot of effort to achieve this result.His implication was, how did it become your credit in Ning Zhuo's mouth?Ning Zhuo waved his hand: "Oh, Sect Master Lin, we've already signed the alliance agreement, we're already on the same side. Isn't your credit my credit too? Why distinguish so clearly?"Lin Bufan was so angry he laughed.Lin Shanshan glared at Ning Zhuo, and Ning Zhuo even smirked at her, making her grind her teeth, yet there was nothing she could do to Ning Zhuo.Lin Bufan quickly composed himself.Since the last negotiation, he had already experienced Ning Zhuo's shamelessness and thick skin. The latter was extremely good at using his junior status. When Lin Bufan wanted to deal with him, he was often constrained by his elder status and couldn't bring himself to do it, nor could he afford to lose face."The spiritual spring is here, it's up to the two of you." Lin Bufan pointed.Ning Zhuo nodded repeatedly: "Sect Master Lin, rest assured, since the alliance agreement has been signed, the matter of renting the Ten Thousand Year Water Essence is set in stone, I will never renege."Saying this, he took out the two Ten Thousand Year Water Essences from the Mechanical Wandering Dragon around his waist and placed them into the spiritual spring's eye.These Ten Thousand Year Water Essences were naturally given by Immortal Concubine Jingyu after leaving the Mirrored Jade Wall.One for Ning Zhuo, and one for Sun Lingtong.But Elder Sun felt the Ten Thousand Year Water Essence was useless after taking it. When Ning Zhuo asked to borrow it, he readily lent it to Ning Zhuo.Ning Zhuo, relying on the two Ten Thousand Year Water Essences, used them as conditions during the negotiation to impress Lin Bufan.This was because placing the Ten Thousand Year Water Essence in any type of water would result in a massive amplification.Seeing the Ten Thousand Year Water Essences placed inside, Lin Bufan confirmed them, then activated the formation to heavily conceal the spiritual spring."What about Brother Linghu's one, why wasn't it placed in?" Ning Zhuo felt puzzled and asked casually.Lin Bufan snorted coldly and didn't answer.Lin Shanshan rolled her eyes at Ning Zhuo and also didn't respond.Ning Zhuo stopped asking. He walked up to Lin Bufan and extended his hand: "Sect Master Lin?"The next moment, Lin Bufan took out the Embryonic Breathing Spirit Ark: "This boat is a treasure passed down in our Myriad Medicine Sect. I hope Young Master Ning Zhuo will keep it with care."Ning Zhuo said: "Rest assured, rest assured, Sect Master Lin. My inherited treasure is also with you."He pointed to the Lingyin Willow.Then, rubbing the small boat in his palm, he sighed: "Alas, as the branch family head, I've really worried myself sick for the sake of my clan members.""I hope the Embryonic Breathing Spirit Ark can be of some help to them."After saying that, he tucked the Embryonic Breathing Spirit Ark into his embrace.While saying this, Ning Zhuo was already planning on how to burn this Spirit Ark as soon as possible to exchange for his mother's spirituality."The key is that this Spirit Ark is just borrowed. If I cremate it nearby, Lin Bufan will definitely sense it.""It's better to run further away before doing this!"(End of Chapter)
