Chapter 364

After the two bid farewell, the gatekeeper led Ning Zhuo to climb the Small Struggle Peak.

Along the way, the gatekeeper probed and tested many times.

Ning Zhuo spoke the truth, telling the other party that he came from the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, came to ask for advice this time, just didn't know the way, met Lin Shanshan by chance, and got her help.

The gatekeeper felt that he had investigated Ning Zhuo's background, his tone became relaxed, and his attitude became casual.

In the exchange, Ning Zhuo "surprisingly" discovered Lin Shanshan's true identity.

The gatekeeper teased him: "You are lucky! Senior Sister Lin is just such a helpful person, often bringing outsiders here."

"Such a sect style, the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect lives up to its name!" Ning Zhuo exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

The gatekeeper laughed loudly, and before leaving, he warned Ning Zhuo: "You are new here, and you got a cave dwelling of more than two hundred. Be careful, according to the rules of our Ten Thousand Medicine Sect, if you are challenged by someone, you will lose the right to live in this cave dwelling."

"Of course, if you are confident in your strength, you can also try to challenge those cave dwellings further ahead."

Ning Zhuo then said: "I will live here first and see the situation."

Saying that, he took out ten spirit stones and stuffed them into the gatekeeper's hand.

"A mere ten low-grade spirit stones..." The gatekeeper was disdainful in his heart, but still took it with a blank face.

The situation where Ning Zhuo gave Lin Shanshan two Fog Show Orchids was still vivid, and the gatekeeper's acceptance of this thin gift was pulled up a lot.

"Live well." The gatekeeper finally perfunctorily said, and left without looking back.

The gatekeeper walked to the mountainside, and someone flashed out from the forest.

The comer had a fair face and was very rich, with a smile on his face, first bowed to the gatekeeper, and as soon as he started, he stuffed a middle-grade spirit stone to the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper took the middle-grade spirit stone, stuffed it into the storage belt very naturally, was quite satisfied in his heart, and said directly: "Li Jingqing, your news is quite well-informed! I know what you want to ask."

"Your luck is not good, the cave dwelling you have been looking at has been occupied by others."

The rich middle-aged male cultivator rubbed his hands: "So, I came to ask, who is this sacred person who occupied my cave dwelling? I found out that he was led here by Senior Sister Lin?"

The gatekeeper nodded slightly: "That's it, don't cause trouble."

The rich male cultivator Li Jingqing shook his head: "Cultivation lies in fighting. This is Small Struggle Peak, it's too early for me to retreat now."

"As far as I know, Senior Sister Lin is enthusiastic and approachable, and has led many outsiders to Small Struggle Peak."

"So, this Ning Zhuo may not be such a situation."

The gatekeeper nodded again: "Since you have the awareness, then..."

"Looking at the spirit stones, I will tell you the details."

"This Ning Zhuo indeed has nothing to do with Senior Sister Lin, they met for the first time."

"However, Senior Sister Lin used to bring people here, and they came and went in a hurry. This time she took the initiative to ask, and was not satisfied with the cave dwelling I arranged for Ning Zhuo for the first time."

"I know you have already made arrangements, planning the cave dwelling for a long time, and I also have the intention to keep it for you."

"But it's a pity, in front of Senior Sister Lin, I couldn't stop it, and could only use this cave dwelling to deal with it."

"So that's it, what a pity, what a pity!" Li Jingqing looked regretful, and when he bid farewell to the gatekeeper, he squeezed out a smile again and sent another middle-grade spirit stone.

When he was alone, he looked gloomy.

The geographical advantage of Ten Thousand Medicine Valley is uniquely endowed, containing extremely rich spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy permeates Small Struggle Peak, allowing every cave dwelling on the mountain to have abundant spiritual energy, which can provide very considerable auxiliary effects for cultivators.

Not only that, the cave dwellings with serial numbers further ahead will receive generous benefits issued by the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect every once in a while.

Li Jingqing is a businessman, who often buys goods from the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect and sells herbs, pills, etc. to other places.

The further ahead the serial number is, the more he can communicate with the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect and buy goods at a lower price. The spirit stone benefits involved in this are very different.

Therefore, even if he heard that Ning Zhuo was a person led by Lin Shanshan, Li Jingqing didn't want to let go easily.

He left alone, deciding to plan before moving.

He first tried his best to find out Ning Zhuo's information, but after a few days, he gained very little.

Because, after Ning Zhuo moved into the cave dwelling, he rarely went out, and even if neighbors visited, he closed the door.

Li Jingqing saw that the next batch of herbs was about to mature and it was time to sell, and he knew he couldn't drag it on, so he began to take the initiative.

His cave dwelling number is ranked after Ning Zhuo, and according to the rules, Li Jingqing has the right to challenge Ning Zhuo.

However, he didn't do so, but went to find someone to help.

He had already looked at many candidates, and this time he took action, directly picking the one he was most sure to persuade—

Hanzhou!

Original Mountain.

Sect Master's Mansion.

Study.

Lin Shanshan knocked on the door, brought tea and snacks, and sent them to her father's table.

"Dad, you are busy with sect affairs and haven't closed your eyes for a night. Why don't you eat some tea and snacks and slow down."

Lin Bufan was a middle-aged man, quite thin, with a long beard hanging on his chest. He leaned back in his chair, looked up, and sighed: "No way. In a few days, that piece of herbs should be harvested."

"The sect must consider the situation of herb sales in detail, and every merchant and firm that buys goods must be handled properly."

"This is the foundation of our Ten Thousand Medicine Sect. Since I took office, I have been grasping this link and have never let others do it. Do you know why?"

Lin Shanshan smiled: "Dad, you are testing me, this time you can't stump me. I once heard Senior Brother talk about it. He said that before you took over, the sect's corruption was extremely serious. Especially this link, even the most famous elder, if he held it for a long time, would be corroded."

"So, you personally guard this layer."

"When Senior Brother said this, he also praised you for being wise and martial, doing it yourself, and being serious and responsible."

Lin Bufan snorted coldly: "I know the temper and personality of Jiu'er, how could I not know as his master?"

"His lazy personality, addicted to alcohol, this words definitely wouldn't come from his mouth."

"You want to plead for him?"

"Forget it!"

"This time, if he is not punished enough, it is impossible to let him out."

Lin Shanshan was frightened by her father's severe words and dared not continue to talk about Linghu Jiu.

She saw a new batch of jade slips on the bookshelf: "Dad, you eat first, I will put some images you like to watch for you."

Lin Bufan nodded slightly and began to eat.

Lin Shanshan took out the jade slips from the bookshelf and took out a mechanism creation.

She placed the three jade slips in the mechanism creation, then activated her magic power to open it.

The next moment, colorful mud and sand flew out of the mechanism creation.

The mud and sand rapidly condensed into a thin mountain battlefield in mid-air. On the battlefield, there were two mud and sand colored people who started to fight.

The two mud-colored little people completely reproduced a battle that had already passed.

Lin Bufan watched the battle while eating tea and snacks, with great interest. This was his only rest time between busy affairs.

He pointed out from time to time.

"Although this Zheng Xingchen comes from a cultivation family, he practices demonic arts. He is ruthless, and the demonic arts complement each other, so he wins repeatedly."

"Luo Xiao's mechanism armor has been tested by actual combat and can already deal with all kinds of opponents. This is very different from when he first came."

"Hanzhou... this beggar has no name or surname, only named after the place of his origin. The cultivation art he got by chance is very special. On the surface, it is body cultivation and martial cultivation, but the core is like Buddhist cultivation, paying attention to spiritual implication and sudden enlightenment in the red dust."

"Lai Wuying's sword is getting faster and faster. Cultivators who are not in the top ten cave dwellings basically can't pass his first three swords."

"Oh? Chang Yan, this snake demon's earth-walking spell, has improved again. In the past, he would be defeated, but this time, he won by a narrow margin."

The Ten Thousand Medicine Sect Master watched with great interest.

Lin Shanshan said: "Dad, you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, why are you always so interested in watching these battles between Foundation Establishment levels?"

"Looking at these, shouldn't it be like watching children fighting, boring?"

The Ten Thousand Medicine Sect Master shook his head, his face solemn: "Shanshan, you don't understand this."

"Cultivator combat, if you only talk about cultivation base, it is too biased. You must know that tactics, fighting will, spell-casting skills, etc., are all carried out from beginning to end throughout a cultivator's life."

"These things, even above the Nascent Soul cultivation base, are universal and of great value."

"Of course, your father is known as a battle maniac, and I really like watching battles. Hahaha! This is your father's only hobby."

Lin Shanshan sighed: "Dad, you are obsessed with watching battles, and Senior Brother is addicted to alcohol. You are really a pair of master and apprentice."

This time, the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect Master restrained his smile, but did not blame Lin Shanshan: "Little girl, you are trying to plead for your Senior Brother again."

Just then, a subordinate came to report.

On the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect Master's desk, there was another stack of jade slips that needed him to deal with.

The Ten Thousand Medicine Sect Master sighed. His body didn't feel tired, but his spirit had reached its limit.

Watching the battle just now gave him relaxation and rest, making him feel the fatigue of his own spirit more deeply.

"Let me see first, what wonderful duels will there be on Small Struggle Peak next?"

"Hmm... Luo Xiao is challenging Zheng Xingchen again?"

"Lai Wuying performed very strongly in this round, so no one challenged him in the next round."

"Hanzhou challenges Ning Zhuo... Ning Zhuo?"

This strange name made the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect Master feel a little surprised.

Lin Shanshan gave an "ah" sound, showing surprise.

The Ten Thousand Medicine Sect Master turned his head to look at his beloved daughter: "Shanshan, do you know this Ning Zhuo?"

"Dad, it's like this." Lin Shanshan explained the origin and worried for Ning Zhuo, "Hanzhou is one of the few strong people on Small Struggle Peak. Ning Zhuo was challenged by him as soon as he came up, it's ominous."

The Ten Thousand Medicine Sect Master looked at his beloved daughter, stroked his long beard, and felt a little surprised in his heart. It was the first time he saw Lin Shanshan so concerned about someone she had just met.
