Chapter 377: You Are My Ideal

The tree-lined path was lush with greenery.

Lin Shanshan had already canceled her disguise and was wearing a tender yellow dress.

Her steps were as light as a swallow, and her skirt fluttered with the wind, revealing her happy mood.

At this moment, the sunlight penetrated the tree gaps, mottled light and shadows sprinkled on the ground, the breeze brushed her face, the flowers were fragrant, the soil was fresh, and the leaves rustled, which also seemed to add a light beat to Lin Shanshan's heart.

"Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, you won so beautifully this time!" She was happy for Unlike Ning Zhuo from the bottom of her heart.

All along, she had been the Eldest Miss of the Sect Master of the Myriad Medicine Sect. From birth, this status had allowed her to receive excellent treatment, be loved, accommodated, and tolerated by those around her. She had never fought others with real knives and guns like Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Lin Shanshan had also achieved cultivation and challenged fellow disciples everywhere, making trouble many times. But as she grew older and sensible, she never did this again.

Because she knew deeply that her status and every move she made represented deep meaning, which could easily be misinterpreted by outsiders, thereby causing harm to the entire sect.

In this world, it is difficult to have the best of both worlds.

Since she enjoyed the treatment of an Eldest Miss, she had to have the responsibility of an Eldest Miss.

The Myriad Medicine Sect and Myriad Medicine Valley, Lin Shanshan's youth, were like a little bird, trapped here. This place achieved her and also locked her up.

She needed to maintain the interests of the sect at all times, keep her status in mind, not cross the rules, and bring trouble and harm to everyone.

Therefore, when Unlike Ning Zhuo won, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart. She obtained great satisfaction from Unlike Ning Zhuo's actions!

When she first met Unlike Ning Zhuo, her impression was very good.

After initial communication, Unlike Ning Zhuo's status similar to hers made it easier for her to substitute.

Perhaps, she herself didn't know her deepest real thoughts—she also longed to be like Unlike Ning Zhuo, young, traveling away from home, experiencing everywhere, acting, feeling, and experiencing.

Therefore, facing the "strong enemy," she felt worried for Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Therefore, Unlike Ning Zhuo's efforts and intelligence were all appreciated by her.

Therefore, when she helped Unlike Ning Zhuo with all her heart and saw Unlike Ning Zhuo's visible growth, she understood that all her efforts were worth it.

Therefore, when Unlike Ning Zhuo defeated the strong enemy, she felt more pleasant than winning herself.

Because she knew that there was a share of her credit in it.

Because she knew that she might never be able to be like Unlike Ning Zhuo, wantonly and directly fighting some people, and would not receive concessions.

To some extent, Unlike Ning Zhuo's appearance and actions satisfied the deep longing in Lin Shanshan's heart.

The young girl's bright eyes turned to Unlike Ning Zhuo, considering him sincerely: "Among all the stationed cultivators, the strongest are Lai Wuying and Zhao Xingchen. This is the first echelon."

"In the second echelon, there are Chang Yan, Luo Xiao, etc."

"Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, this time you challenged successfully and defeated Chang Yan, you can already move into the top ten cave dwellings."

"You are only at the early Foundation Establishment cultivation, which is rare." 【377-2

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled and shook his head slightly: "I am still far from that."

"Being able to win quickly this time was mainly due to correct tactics, adopting an aggressive approach, and taking advantage of the Wood element restraining the Earth element."

"In terms of true magic power, the magic power reserves of demon cultivators are often far superior to human cultivators of the same level. My cultivation base is weaker than Chang Yan's."

"After I seized the initiative, those three Wood element spells were cast, which gradually expanded my advantage and finally turned into a winning momentum. If it weren't for your help, Miss Lin, in helping me exchange for the three Enlightenment Diagrams of Wood element spells, how could I have won?"

"Therefore, you are the greatest hero behind the scenes."

Having said this, Unlike Ning Zhuo bowed to Lin Shanshan to express his gratitude.

Lin Shanshan chuckled twice and accepted it calmly: "Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, your background is similar to mine. How could I not know that even without my three diagrams, you have your own trump cards to win."

"You also missed one reason for your victory."

"That is your cultivation technique is very excellent. The Five Elements magic power can not only be freely split and fused, but can also generate and restrain each other, transforming into a unified type of magic power, causing the total amount of magic power to expand several times."

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled: "This Five Elements Qi Law, after all, is one of the supreme arts of the three sects."

Lin Shanshan showed a look of yearning: "The Supreme of the Three Sects, I have also heard of him; he is a dignified Void Refinement expert."

Walking side by side with Lin Shanshan, Unlike Ning Zhuo analyzed in a deep voice: "Although this victory was crisp and neat, it also left behind hidden dangers."

"If I had won after a fierce battle, allowing Chang Yan to fully display his combat power, I would definitely have gained wider recognition."

"In the current situation, I have obtained a top-ten cave dwelling, which will surely attract covetous eyes and I will very likely be challenged by others."

"After all, I have already stated in public before that once I use the Oil-Slick Water-Smooth Talisman, it counts as conceding. This will make others feel that it is an opportunity."

Hearing this, Lin Shanshan was slightly stunned, then nodded in agreement.

She couldn't help but look at the white-clad youth in front of her again, sighing in her heart: Unlike Ning Zhuo is only sixteen years old, yet he acts so steadily! At this age, suddenly winning a victory, one would usually be a bit arrogant. Unexpectedly, he is more clear-headed and calm than she, an outsider, and has always seen the situation clearly.

By age, she is five years older than Unlike Ning Zhuo, yet she was dizzy with victory.

Lin Shanshan's mood was slightly strange; at this moment, she felt a sense of reliability and stability from Unlike Ning Zhuo. It made her feel as if she saw the shadow of her own father.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Unlike Ning Zhuo took the initiative to propose that there was a matter that needed Lin Shanshan's help. But at the same time, this matter would also make Lin Shanshan feel embarrassed.

Lin Shanshan had already accumulated a lot of fondness for Unlike Ning Zhuo. Hearing this, her eyes flashed slightly, and without much hesitation, she said: "I cannot make decisions regarding sect matters, but for other things, Young Master, please speak directly, I will definitely do my best to help!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo hurriedly said: "Miss Lin, please rest assured, I will definitely not make an overly presumptuous request."

Seeing Lin Shanshan listening, he continued: "I left home to travel, and passed by Mount Wuyin."

Lin Shanshan nodded slightly: "You told me that before. Isn't the Fog-Show Orchid you gave me obtained from Mount Wuyin?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled and added: "I had a special opportunity at Mount Wuyin, and gained the recognition of the Mount Wuyin Mountain God, and we got along well. Before parting, He took the initiative to give me a wonderful spiritual plant."

"The Mountain God took care of me, telling me to cultivate it privately, take good care of it, and not let outsiders know."

"Planting is one of the hundred arts of cultivation, broad and profound. I have rarely dabbled in it, only knowing a little, and am a complete layman."

"Getting it for the first time, and facing a Golden Core-level spiritual plant, is truly difficult."

"Now, the spiritual plant also has signs of withering, which really makes me worry."

"Mount Wuyin, Mountain God, and even gave a Golden Core-level spiritual plant?" Lin Shanshan listened with great novelty, and yearned more and more for Unlike Ning Zhuo's free life of traveling.

She suppressed her urge to inquire: "So, Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo came to my Myriad Medicine Sect to ask for advice, it is to ask about this matter."

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded: "This is indeed one of my purposes. Your sect plants countless herbs, the scale is huge, and the herb business is booming."

"If I can't get help here, I'm afraid there's no way to think of anything in the entire Nandou Kingdom."

Unlike Ning Zhuo added a compliment.

Lin Shanshan smiled, only saying that Unlike Ning Zhuo was overpraising.

After thinking for a while, her brows furrowed slightly: "At this time, it is indeed a bit difficult."

"Since the Mountain God took care of you and let you cultivate it privately, there may be a deep meaning. Then only Young Master, you have to suffer yourself and learn some cultivation techniques for spiritual plants."

"The key is that the cultivation methods for each spiritual plant are different. Even for the same species, there are differences in region and so on."

"If you cultivate rashly and adopt unsuitable methods, you will harm the spiritual plant instead of helping it survive and grow."

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed deeply: "I have thought about it, and have some guesses. This may be some kind of test from the Mountain God for me. And I signed a contract at that time, unable to reveal any information about the spiritual plant to the outside world."

"Otherwise, I would have just asked Miss Lin directly."

The Spirit-Hidden Willow needs to be hidden.

This wonderful spiritual plant that can assist in enlightenment can greatly save a cultivator's time and energy, it is definitely a treasure of inheritance!

For organizations and forces, such a Golden Core-level spiritual plant is worth more than many Nascent Soul-level offensive magic treasures.

When Unlike Ning Zhuo first got it, he already knew the value of the Spirit-Hidden Willow, so only the Mount Wuyin Mountain God, Sun Lingtong, and himself knew about this matter.

After getting it, Unlike Ning Zhuo has always kept it a secret.
