Chapter 378

~11 min read 2,071 words

A few days ago, Unlike Ning Zhuo borrowed the Spirit-Hidden Willow to comprehend the Enlightenment Diagram, and felt it even more profoundly.

Such a treasure must never be easily exposed. Otherwise, it is easy to attract covetousness and even bring about a fatal disaster.

Human nature cannot withstand testing.

Although his relationship with Lin Shanshan is very good now, and his relationship with the entire Myriad Medicine Sect is also looking up. But he will never take out the Spirit-Hidden Willow to test the human nature of the entire Myriad Medicine Sect.

There is no need to trigger this unnecessary risk.

After Unlike Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong's comprehension, six willow branches on the Spirit-Hidden Willow tree have completely withered, leaving it bare and looking heartbreaking.

And the Spirit-Hidden Willow, out of survival instinct, in order to make up for its own consumption, has completely absorbed the clods of earth where its roots were coiled. The latter has exhausted its fertility and turned into a patch of sand.

Even so, the six willow branches on the Spirit-Hidden Willow still withered, only having a little luster, and the degree of recovery was very slight.

Unlike Ning Zhuo is of course worried that this state will gradually drag the Spirit-Hidden Willow into a more serious situation. Therefore, transplanting and planting it as soon as possible has become a top priority.

"Even if it can't recover, I have to maintain the state of the Spirit-Hidden Willow."

The Spirit-Hidden Willow is a Golden Core-level existence. The higher the level of life, the higher the demand for the outside world.

Can't let the Spirit-Hidden Willow go on like this!

Forced by the situation, Unlike Ning Zhuo thought about it and could only ask Lin Shanshan for help first.

Lin Shanshan really did not refuse him.

After the young girl pondered for a moment, she said: "This matter is indeed very difficult to handle."

"Our Myriad Medicine Sect has collected many classics. I can take you to see them, just look at the catalog, etc., and search."

"We must first confirm what this spiritual plant is. This point must be determined by you, Young Master, personally."

"After determining it, we can see how to let you learn it based on the confidentiality level of the relevant content."

"If the level is very high, I'm afraid I can't do anything alone."

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed: "In this regard, I have some bad premonitions. When the Mountain God entrusted me, his expression was grave, and he entrusted me like this, the spiritual plant probably has a significant background."

"Sigh, I am also really at the end of my rope. I had no choice but to trouble you, Miss Lin. If it is too difficult, then forget it."

Hearing him say this, Lin Shanshan secretly made up her mind that no matter how difficult it was, she would try her best.

She encouraged: "Without trying, how can you give up easily?"

"Why don't we try first, at least we have to confirm what it is."

"Relying on me alone might not be enough, but I can also ask others."

Unlike Ning Zhuo hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

So, Lin Shanshan led Unlike Ning Zhuo to the library again to look for classics on cultivating spiritual plants.

As expected of the Myriad Medicine Sect, such classics are like mountains and seas, with a wide variety.

But the Spirit-Hidden Willow is truly rare. Unlike Ning Zhuo flipped through it for a long time before selecting a few books. There are such as "Ancient Spiritual Strange Plants", "Strange Flowers in Immortal Gardens", "Strange Talks on Spiritual Extracts", etc.

Unlike Ning Zhuo showed a very embarrassed expression to Lin Shanshan: "Miss Lin, I feel that it is in these few books. Looking at the catalog, there are many similarities."

Lin Shanshan held her forehead and sighed: "My God, the levels of these secret books are almost all at the highest level."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was a bit at a loss: "If it troubles Miss Lin too much, forget it. I'll think of another way, think of another way."

Lin Shanshan shook her head: "Young Master, you are a newcomer, unfamiliar with the place. The only friend is me..."

Having said this, the young girl gritted her teeth and said: "I will fight for you with all my strength, Young Master. Please go back first and wait for my news."

After Unlike Ning Zhuo thanked her, he parted ways with Lin Shanshan.

Lin Shanshan pursed her lips tightly, paced back and forth a few times, and felt that finding her father was basically not feasible. Even if her father agreed, it would break the sect's rules.

As the apple of the sect master's eye, she naturally had to take the lead in observing the sect rules and was unwilling for such things to happen.

"Go find the senior brother first, his authority is much higher than mine."

Lin Shanshan then went to the back mountain of Great Struggle Peak, passed the deep pool and waterfall mountain road, and arrived inside the Myriad Demon Cave.

"Junior sister, why did you come to see me at this time?" Senior brother Linghu Jiu was quite pleasantly surprised to see Lin Shanshan.

Lin Shanshan said bluntly: "Senior brother, I have something to ask for your help."

"What is it, just say it!" Linghu Jiu laughed, sat on the edge of the stone bed, waved his arms, and was very straightforward.

Lin Shanshan smiled, walked closer and said: "It's like this. Senior brother, do you still remember Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo?"

Linghu Jiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he laughed loudly: "How could I not know? These days, you send me meals, and every time you mention him. Your senior brother, I have heard it until my ears are calloused."

Lin Shanshan smiled and said: "Senior brother, do you know? Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo had a special opportunity at Mount Wuyin and actually received a gift from the Mountain God. It is a wonderful spiritual plant, up to the Golden Core level..."

Lin Shanshan described the ins and outs in detail.

Linghu Jiu listened carefully, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually converged a lot.

"So that's how it is." Linghu Jiu rubbed his chin.

Lin Shanshan said: "According to my authority, I can't exchange those secret records from the library. I have to ask for senior brother's identity token."

"As for the corresponding sect merit consumption, I will pay you back slowly in the future."

Linghu Jiu pondered: "So many secret books, the sect merit consumed is not small. Junior sister, have you thought about it? Do you really want to help him like this?"

"For so many days, you have helped him a lot."

"These sect merits, if you want to pay them back, it will take a long time."

"If you ask me, just exchange one for him, that's enough. It won't be a big burden for you."

Lin Shanshan shook her head: "That won't do. We only looked at the catalog and introduction. If there is no relevant record in the exchanged classics, we have to exchange again."

"It's better to do it in one step and exchange them all directly."

"As for sect merits, although there are many, paying them back slowly will eventually be paid off."

"I remember senior brother, you have the most sect merits, and you can't use them anyway, so just lend them to me!"

Linghu Jiu sighed: "Since junior sister asked, what else can I say?"

He touched the head of the bed and took out his identity token.

He stood up, walked to Lin Shanshan, and handed the token to her.

Being close, Linghu Jiu suddenly sniffed: "Wait, what is this smell?"

"Wine!"

"What a good wine fragrance!"

"It seems, it seems to be Warm Autumn Wine?"

"Junior sister, you got Warm Autumn Wine, but you don't honor your senior brother?"

Lin Shanshan smelled herself: "Why can't I smell it? I clearly wash every day."

She rolled her eyes at Linghu Jiu: "Wine, wine, wine, you only know how to drink all day. Warm Autumn Wine is at the Golden Core level, it is a medicinal wine, used to treat Unlike Ning Zhuo's injuries. You actually want to use it to satisfy your appetite!"

"Maybe it's because I've been training Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo recently, teaching him martial arts, so I got some on me."

Lin Shanshan took Linghu Jiu's identity token.

"Senior brother, you have helped me a lot this time, thank you very much."

She waved her hand mischievously at Linghu Jiu and turned to leave.

"Sigh!" Linghu Jiu's heart suddenly felt empty, and he reached out and called.

Lin Shanshan walked a few steps away, turned to look at her senior brother, and showed a look of doubt.

Linghu Jiu opened his mouth slightly, thought for a while, and said: "Be careful..."

Lin Shanshan didn't wait for him to finish, and directly interrupted: "Of course I know!"

"Senior brother, don't worry."

"If Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo asked for the cultivation methods of conventional herbs, it is very likely that after inquiring, he would hand them over to the Ning family for cultivation and grab business from my Myriad Medicine Sect."

"But he asked for the cultivation classics of rare and exotic herbs, which won't harm our sect."

"I know what I'm doing!"

"See you tomorrow."

After Lin Shanshan finished speaking, she left the cave in a hurry.

Linghu Jiu stood where he was, feeling melancholy in his heart: "I was telling you to be careful yourself."

After a while, he sighed, turned around and lay back on the stone bed.

He closed his eyes, preparing to sleep.

As a result, his mind was troubled, and he couldn't sleep at all.

He felt something was wrong, and after careful investigation, he suddenly thought of one point!

"The medicinal wine that Unlike Ning Zhuo kid drank. Why did junior sister get the smell of wine?"

"Teaching martial arts..."

"How did she teach it?!"

Thinking of this, Linghu Jiu sat up abruptly, his face no longer having the previous leisure and comfort, but with a lot of urgency and anxiety.

All along, he had been punished to guard the Myriad Demon Cave, and he had been happy to do it.

But now, he was irritable and wanted to leave the cave.

He calculated the time.

"Why is it still several months before I can go out?!"

Elsewhere, Lin Shanshan was in a hurry, using Linghu Jiu's identity token to exchange for several secret records and classics.

She disguised herself, entered Little Struggle Peak, and met Unlike Ning Zhuo.

"I have not failed the mission!" She handed all the classics to Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was overjoyed: "Miss Lin, you have really helped me a lot!"

"If it weren't for your great help, Miss, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to obtain these precious classics, and my gratitude is beyond words."

"What virtue and ability do I have to make such a good friend as you, Miss! Your action is like rain from heaven, solving my urgent need, it is truly fortunate. You are so talented and beautiful, Miss, and it is a heaven-sent friend that I can get your help!"

"I will keep today's kindness in my heart, and if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay it with all my strength."

Lin Shanshan was praised until her cheeks flushed slightly: "Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, you are overpraising, there is no need for this."

Seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo so excited and sincere, the heavy price she had paid in secret also seemed light and insignificant at this moment.

All along, Lin Shanshan had always been the one helped and yielded to in the sect.

She had never helped others like this!

Even if there was, it was an acquaintance in daily life, and it was just a small favor.

A friend like Unlike Ning Zhuo, who hadn't known each other for many days, had a lot of unfamiliar novelty, and the degree of help was so huge, this was an unprecedented life experience for Lin Shanshan.

Although the time spent with Unlike Ning Zhuo was short, Lin Shanshan believed in Unlike Ning Zhuo's character and believed that such full-hearted help would have a beautiful response.
