Chapter 363: Small Struggle Peak

Looking at the young man in white in front of her, Lin Shanshan's heart was filled with a strange feeling.

This feeling was something she had never experienced in her twenty-plus years of life.

"So it's Young Master Ning Zhuo. If you want to seek advice, you should go to the Original Mountain, why are you at the back mountain of the Great Struggle Peak?"

Lin Shanshan tried hard to calm her emotions.

Ning Zhuo was wrapped around the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon.

Sun Lingtong was hiding in the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, watching the show, and hearing Lin Shanshan's question, he couldn't help but answer for himself: "Of course, it's because I saw you, so I ran over specially."

Ning Zhuo formulated his travel goals according to the jade slip provided by Ning Jiufan and some information he obtained from Meng Yaoyin.

Mount Wuyin was the first, and Ten Thousand Medicine Valley was the second.

Back then, the Ning family moved the whole clan, through the underground dark river, cleverly shuttling, avoiding the blockade of strong enemies on the ground.

The cave entrance that came out of the underground dark river was the Ten Thousand Demon Cave guarded by Linghu Jiu today.

The Ning family arrived at Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, which caused a sensation at the time.

The large sect of Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, Ten Thousand Medicine Gate, is very good at alchemy and medical treatment. The Ning family was exhausted at the time and reached the limit, so they stayed in Ten Thousand Medicine Valley for a long time to rest.

At that time, Meng Yaoyin moved her fetal energy, thanks to a magic treasure of the Ten Thousand Medicine Gate, named Fetal Breath Spirit Boat, which turned danger into safety.

Regarding this experience, Meng Yaoyin, after becoming a mechanical Buddha Doctor, when her consciousness was still there, used it as a talk, and told Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo's main goal this time was the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat. Besides that, he also had to try to find the items of the entire Ning family's life in Ten Thousand Medicine Valley back then.

Sun Lingtong manipulated the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, penetrated the void, and arrived at Ten Thousand Medicine Valley.

He first came out secretly with Ning Zhuo, disguised his tracks, and collected a lot of information locally.

Therefore, Sun and Ning had a general grasp of the situation of the Ten Thousand Medicine Gate. Both knew that the Lin Shanshan in front of them was the only offspring of the current Ten Thousand Medicine Gate Master Lin Bufan, which could be considered the eldest lady of this large sect.

Although not the core of power, her influence on the upper level was extraordinary.

Therefore, after Sun and Ning calculated, they created this "accidental encounter" now.

Supernatural Power—Human Life Hanging by a Thread!

As soon as Ning Zhuo and Lin Shanshan met, he planted his supernatural power on her first.

Then, he used the Buddha Heart Demon Seal to secretly exert influence on her, increasing her good impression of Ning Zhuo himself.

When Ning Zhuo was at the early stage of Qi Refining, he could already trigger a trace of the power of the Buddha Heart Demon Seal, influencing his uncle Ning Ze, the three ghosts of the Huang family, and even resisting the detection of Golden Core cultivators.

Nowadays, Ning Zhuo has become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and Lin Shanshan is also at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

At the same level, Ning Zhuo was very relaxed and could influence her.

Ning Zhuo hurriedly apologized, saying that he came from this direction, just wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Medicine Gate as soon as possible, and didn't know this was the Great Struggle Peak, so he entered this place by mistake.

Lin Shanshan smiled and walked to Ning Zhuo, saying it didn't matter.

"The Great Struggle Peak is no longer a forbidden area."

"Many years ago, the Ten Thousand Demon Cave had no demon beasts emerging, and now it is very safe."

"Ning Zhuo, you don't have to worry too much."

"Our Ten Thousand Medicine Gate has always welcomed foreign cultivators like you. Our sect's philosophy is to be inclusive and to be kind and friends with others."

Ning Zhuo immediately praised: "I have heard of it for a long time and have always admired such an excellent sect. So, I traveled a long way to come here."

"To tell you the truth, I am uneasy in my heart."

"But seeing you, girl, these simple words gave me great comfort."

"I am not so nervous anymore, thank you, Miss Lin."

Lin Shanshan smiled: "You are too polite."

"Politeness costs nothing," Ning Zhuo said, naturally taking out a Mist Embroidery Orchid from his storage belt, "This meeting gift is for Miss Lin. I am new here, and I would like to ask you for a small favor."

Lin Shanshan didn't take the Mist Embroidery Orchid, just smiled: "What favor?"

Ning Zhuo then said: "I am new here and worried about breaking into forbidden areas. Seeing that you are a local cultivator, I boldly ask you to lead me to the Small Struggle Peak, can you?"

Lin Shanshan nodded: "This is a small matter, just follow me. As for this gift, I won't accept it."

Lin Shanshan, as the eldest lady of the Ten Thousand Medicine Gate, had seen many exotic flowers and plants, and this Mist Embroidery Orchid was ordinary, she didn't like it at all.

Immediately, Lin Shanshan led the way for Ning Zhuo.

The two walked between the mountains and forests, Lin Shanshan slightly in front, leading by half a body.

Sunlight passed through the gaps in the trees, casting mottled light and shadow on the grass and forest paths.

The mountain breeze blew, the leaves rustled, the birds sang crisply, the stream gurgled, and the scenery was like a painting.

Lin Shanshan took the initiative to introduce the general situation of Ten Thousand Medicine Valley and Ten Thousand Medicine Gate to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo pretended not to know, asked a few questions whose answers he already knew, and successfully created a relaxed atmosphere for communication.

"Miss Lin, wait a moment." Ning Zhuo suddenly took a step forward and pushed aside the branches in front of Lin Shanshan.

Lin Shanshan's good impression increased by a trace, but under the influence of the Buddha Heart Demon Seal, it increased by at least ten times!

Ning Zhuo's tone was humorous, and his words were interesting, making Lin Shanshan happy to communicate, and sometimes she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lin Shanshan was born when her father was already the master of the Ten Thousand Medicine Gate. Although she was five years older than Ning Zhuo, now twenty-one, her life experience was much shallower than Ning Zhuo's.

One grew up in a honey pot, not knowing the treachery of the human heart, and the other lost his parents since childhood, suffered the coldness of the world, and had long ago practiced a good tongue.

The whole conversation was firmly controlled by Ning Zhuo from beginning to end.

Lin Shanshan didn't notice it at all. When she led Ning Zhuo to the foot of the Small Struggle Peak and saw the fellow sect members handling identities, she was surprised—how did she suddenly walk out of the back mountain of the Great Struggle Peak? Why did time pass so quickly?

"Senior Sister Lin." The fellow sect member saw Lin Shanshan and hurriedly saluted.

In front of outsiders, Lin Shanshan restrained her smile, turned slightly, and let out Ning Zhuo: "This young man just arrived at our Ten Thousand Medicine Valley. I met him on the way, so I led him here, please arrange it properly."

The fellow sect member smiled: "Since it was led by Senior Sister Lin, the junior brother will naturally handle it properly."

"Hmm... how about living in cave 328 for now?"

The fellow sect member looked at Lin Shanshan, his eyes showing consultation.

Lin Shanshan opened her mouth slightly, inevitably a little hesitant.

Like leading outsiders, introducing Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, and helping outsiders stay in the Small Struggle Peak, Lin Shanshan had done it many times.

In the past, fellow sect members would look at her face and take the initiative to give outsiders a cave with a better ranking.

In the Small Struggle Peak, there are about five hundred caves. According to the number order, the more forward the cave, the better the specifications.

Cave 328 is a middle-to-lower level among all caves.

Cultivators like Lin Shanshan have different statuses from ordinary sect members, but they don't have real power, so they are arranged for this level of cave.

Lin Shanshan didn't care about these in the past.

But this time, she had different thoughts in her heart. After all, Ning Zhuo's first impression on her was too good, making her can't help but want to help him more.

Lin Shanshan also knew that her move had actually violated the sect's regulations. If she made a request, would it be too much?

Buddha Heart Demon Seal!

Ning Zhuo saw her hesitation and decisively took action, triggering a trace of magic treasure power.

Lin Shanshan's hesitation was broken, and she said directly: "Are there any more forward caves?"

The fellow sect member was slightly surprised, and he didn't expect Lin Shanshan to really make a request.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the eldest lady's first time, right?" The fellow sect member was surprised and couldn't help but quietly look at Ning Zhuo.

Seeing him like jade in white, with extraordinary temperament, the fellow sect member couldn't help but be more curious.

He pondered and guessed Ning Zhuo's identity, and said: "What Senior Sister Lin said is true, then 281, how about it?"

Lin Shanshan already regretted making the request just now, and nodded repeatedly when she heard it: "That's it."

Ning Zhuo received the token, and Lin Shanshan had the urge to follow Ning Zhuo to go together.

"What's wrong with me?" Lin Shanshan shook her head in her heart and suppressed this urge.

Ning Zhuo noticed that too much is as bad as too little, so he stopped urging the Buddha Heart Demon Seal and let it take its course.

Ning Zhuo said goodbye to Lin Shanshan and took out gifts, which were two Mist Embroidery Orchids. He wanted to give them, but Lin Shanshan waved her hand and refused with a smile.

The fellow sect member saw this and sneered in his heart: "Just two Qi Refining-level Mist Embroidery Orchids, can the eldest lady look at them? This kid really can take them out."

Little did he know, this was Ning Zhuo's deliberate action.

Lin Shanshan didn't feel any offense or being looked down upon, but felt that this young man, Ning Zhuo, was simple and had a cute, dull spirit.
