Chapter 380

Standing in the spiritual plant cabin, Ning Zhuo first opened the cabin's magic array.

This magic array was originally brought by the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon itself, quite basic, mainly providing magic power, with attached Space-path power, capable of folding a large amount of space.

On the basis of this magic array, Ning Zhuo began to arrange a new magic array.

He arranged many Bagua stones as the base of the array, then used a hard pen to engrave many array patterns, and finally used Tianxuan stones as the heart of the array, using many spiritual jades to form the eyes of the array.

This is the Bagua Wind-Returning Array.

The spiritual jades were arranged according to the Bagua directions. After the magic array was opened, a whirlwind of spiritual energy was immediately formed.

From then on, Ning Zhuo could adjust the flow of spiritual energy in the cabin.

He controlled the magic array and adjusted it for a long time until it reached a satisfactory state. The spiritual energy was bundled into several strands, circulating continuously in the cabin. The position of the spiritual energy was quite fixed and would not shift randomly.

"This is the prototype of an artificial spiritual vein, haha." Ning Zhuo felt quite accomplished.

He continued to build.

He took out a large amount of Xuanhuang soil and filled it into the spiritual plant cabin.

The height of the soil soon reached his waist. Ning Zhuo opened the basic magic array in the spiritual plant cabin, folding and shrinking the internal space of these soils in large quantities.

The height of the soil soon dropped to Ning Zhuo's ankles.

Ning Zhuo paused the folding of the basic magic array and continued to pour soil, repeating this cycle three times before filling the soil to the standard.

He took out the Three-Treasure Spiritual Soil.

This spiritual soil was quite particular, taking one item from the Heavenly Treasure, Earthly Treasure, and Human Treasure, matching them with each other, the three talents blending, and complementing each other.

For example, the Three-Treasure Spiritual Soil in his hand took the Heavenly Treasure Purple Mist Wind, the Earthly Treasure Magma Blood, and the Human Treasure Hero Bone Ash, and it was only achieved after careful preparation and refining.

Such spiritual soil is very precious in the Myriad Medicine Sect. Only some top-level medicinal materials would have this demand.

Thanks to Lin Shanshan, otherwise Ning Zhuo, an outsider, would never have been able to get such good things.

This is hard to buy even in regular immortal city markets.

Ning Zhuo first dug a pit, arranged all the Three-Treasure Spiritual Soil in it, and took out the Five-Color Divine Sand, sprinkling it evenly on the spiritual soil.

Ning Zhuo took out a magic tool bottle from his arms and slowly poured out the Star River Spiritual Liquid.

As the spiritual liquid flowed, it flickered with points of starlight, which was very eye-catching.

The spiritual liquid moistened the soil.

Ning Zhuo waited quietly.

After a while, he squatted down, used his spiritual sense to penetrate, and carefully observed the soil quality of this pit.

Seeing that it was relatively dry, he poured some more Star River Spiritual Liquid into it.

Each time he poured only a little, cautiously, and finally reached the standard.

Ning Zhuo also asked Sun Lingtong to come over to check, to prevent himself from missing anything or making a mistake for the first time.

Sun Lingtong's understanding of these was not deep, so he could only refer to the past, his experience of stealing spiritual plants, carefully observed the pit, and felt that it was quite similar to the pit left after he uprooted and stole the spiritual plant.

"I feel it's right!" He said to Ning Zhuo who returned.

Ning Zhuo also knew that Sun Lingtong's affirmation was essentially more inclined to comfort.

He checked again, and after confirming that every point met the standard, he planted the Spirit-Hidden Willow in the pit.

Subsequently, Ning Zhuo filled and compacted the pit.

He also opened the Bagua Wind-Returning Array and carefully adjusted the spiritual energy bundles adjusted earlier to the surroundings of the Spirit-Hidden Willow.

Three spiritual energy bundles were buried in the soil, shuttling between the roots of the Spirit-Hidden Willow. There were also two spiritual energy bundles, one passing through the tree crown and the other located at the height of the middle of the trunk.

Reaching this step, the spiritual energy that the Spirit-Hidden Willow could absorb was far richer than before.

But it was not natural enough.

A major point of cultivating spiritual plants is to learn from nature. The initial stage is to imitate the natural growth environment.

Because the spiritual energy bundles were too dense, the spiritual energy could not naturally dissipate.

This required Ning Zhuo to arrange a second magic array.

Soon, the second and third magic arrays were properly arranged. After opening, the spring breeze echoed, accelerating the dissipation of the spiritual energy bundles. The pleasant sound was like bird chirping, crisp and melodious.

The two magic arrays consumed the Three-Mile Spring Breeze and the Pleasant Sound of Music.

The willow branches of the Spirit-Hidden Willow swayed gently in the wind, as if enjoying this rare tranquility and comfort.

Under the nourishment of abundant spiritual energy, those willow leaves also appeared to have more jade-like luster than before.

Sun Lingtong sighed: "This environment is really good, I even want to move here to sleep."

Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Let's leave this place to the Spirit-Hidden Willow."

"During this period, the two of us have consumed a lot of it. Let it rest and recuperate here quietly, striving to regain complete vitality as soon as possible."

After Ning Zhuo finished these, he was also quite tired.

After a sound sleep, the next day, he went to Original Mountain to find Lin Shanshan.

As a result, at the foot of the mountain, he was intercepted.

o￠o

"Ning Zhuo, right?" The Foundation Establishment cultivator who stopped him was a short man named Lao De.

"So it's Senior Brother Lao. I am indeed Ning Zhuo!" Ning Zhuo smiled and took the initiative to salute.

Lao De folded his arms and scanned Ning Zhuo from head to toe with a condescending gaze, his attitude very unfriendly: "Is 'Senior Brother Lao' something you can call? You are not a member of my Myriad Medicine Sect."

"Fellow Daoist Lao." Ning Zhuo's smile did not diminish at all, and he decisively changed his words, his demeanor gentle.

Lao De snorted coldly: "I am Shanshan's Third Senior Brother. Do you know that Shanshan has been busy for you these days, and even her daily cultivation lessons have been delayed?"

Ning Zhuo hurriedly straightened his expression: "Miss Lin has been running around for my affairs; I am deeply grateful and will keep it in mind! There will certainly be a reward in the future."

Lao De waved his hand: "Don't talk about future rewards. Shanshan has already been discovered by the Sect Master, and because she has been lazy in her cultivation these days, she has been punished with confinement."

"You don't need to look for her during this period."

"It's actually like this! Miss Lin has sacrificed too much for me." Ning Zhuo's expression changed.

It was obvious that Lao De was specifically intercepting Ning Zhuo here.

"If there's nothing else, you can go." Lao De issued an eviction order to Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo cupped his hands and inquired about Lin Shanshan's recent situation, but was ridiculed by Lao De for a while.

Helplessly, he had to return home.

Many eyes were fixed on Ning Zhuo until the latter's back completely moved away from Original Mountain, and these cultivators slowly withdrew their gazes.

"This kid is mediocre, why is Junior Sister so obsessed? I can't figure it out."

"Hmph, what I hate most in my life is this kind of pretty boy; he doesn't have much ability, but his glib tongue is often really strong."

"Alright, Junior Sister has already been confined. Let's calculate how much external debt she has incurred to raise treasures for this stinky kid Ning Zhuo. As Senior Brothers, let's pool together and pay off Junior Sister's external debts to several elders first."

"In this way, it just feels like something is wrong."

"Yeah, doesn't this mean we Senior Brothers are bearing it for Ning Zhuo?"

"Call him over and make him pay!"

"Forget it, his identity is unusual; he is not some mountain villager, but has a cultivation family behind him. And he is highly favored by the family's Jin Dan ancestor. If we really do this, what will happen when the Ning family cooperates with my Myriad Medicine Sect in the future?"

"But letting me eat this muffled loss, I feel too uncomfortable."

"Who isn't? But that is our Junior Sister."

"Sigh, Junior Sister is really muddled this time."

"In my opinion, she has already been bewitched by that Ning Zhuo. I really feel unfair for the Senior Brother!"

"If it weren't for the Senior Brother being punished to guard the Myriad Demon Cave, how could this Ning Zhuo take advantage of the situation?"

The more the fellow disciples discussed, the more indignant they became.

"No, Ning Zhuo must be taught a lesson, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."

"Yeah, even if he has the Ning family behind him, they are far away in Fire Persimmon Mountain."

"We can't do it ourselves, but we can exert some power and incite those stationed cultivators."

"Good idea, good idea!"

After Ning Zhuo returned to the cave dwelling, he soon received Sun Lingtong's report.

Sun Lingtong told Ning Zhuo everything about the discussion of Lin Shanshan's fellow disciples.

It turned out that at that time, Ning Zhuo pretended to leave, secretly made a small move, and casually threw the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon coiled around his waist into the mountain forest.

Sun Lingtong then controlled the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon, followed Lao De all the way, and finally overheard all the conversation content.

Ning Zhuo sighed: "Miss Lin has indeed sacrificed a lot for me. When I have the chance in the future, I will certainly repay her."

Sun Lingtong rested his head on his hands, pondering the current situation: "Those cultivators are going to deal with us, how should we handle it?"

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "They want to use the hands of the stationed cultivators to suppress me; this idea is indeed good."

"Plus, my quick victory over Chang Yan before did not convince the crowd."

"Therefore, there will likely be a large number of stationed cultivators or strong individuals among them coming to challenge me next."

"This is actually a good thing."

"I can just happen to hone my combat skills."

"It's just that it's quite uncomfortable not having anyone to spar with in martial arts."

Speaking of this, Ning Zhuo looked at Sun Lingtong: "Boss Sun, what do you think of this person Hanzhou?"

Sun Lingtong: "His fist and foot skills are relatively fierce and match his cultivation technique."

"Let's go talk to him." Ning Zhuo smiled and stood up.

A moment later, he met Hanzhou.

Hanzhou was confused by his arrival.

"Brother Hanzhou, let's go inside and talk, shall we?" Ning Zhuo took the initiative to propose.

Hanzhou had no objections and welcomed Ning Zhuo into his cave dwelling.

Ning Zhuo communicated with him, talking about his insights into the Bitter Cold Scripture.

Hanzhou stared, overjoyed in his heart: "Ning Zhuo's comprehension is remarkable; he actually realized many contents of the Bitter Cold Scripture."

"This is great."

"If I really convert him, my contract will be completed by a lot."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ning Zhuo proposed to go to the martial arts arena with Hanzhou to spar in martial arts.

Hanzhou agreed immediately!
