Chapter 398

The sunlight was faint, passing through the dense leaves in the forest, and mottled light and shadow were sprinkled on the mountain path.

Unlike Ning Zhuo carried a wine jar, his steps calm, brushing against the branches as he walked.

Birds were chirping in the forest, clear and pleasant. The air was fresh, mixed with the fragrance of mud, grass, and trees.

"Came to this place again." Unlike Ning Zhuo walked to the deep pool; this was the place where he and Lin Shanshan first met.

The pool water was clear, fish swam in it, suddenly leaping out of the water, stirring up ripples, shattering the golden sun on the water surface.

Unlike Ning Zhuo continued to move forward, circling to the mountain path behind the flying waterfall.

On his left, the waterfall roared, water splashed, sunlight reflected, and rainbows crossed the sky. On his right, the mountain wall was covered with moss, quiet and deep.

One moving and one quiet, it seemed to have the beautiful rhyme of yin and yang coordination.

Walking past the mountain path, Unlike Ning Zhuo stopped in front of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.

He did not enter directly, but activated his magic power, mobilized the talisman paper, and wrote a flying letter in an instant.

The flying letter floated leisurely and slowly flew into the cave.

Not long after, Linghu Jiu held the flying letter, with a smile on his face, walked out of the cave to welcome him in person.

Thus, the two finally met for the first time at this moment.

Linghu Jiu was tall and thin, wearing a green robe, with wide sleeves hanging down, floating like the wind, dashing and unrestrained.

Unlike Ning Zhuo wore wide-sleeved white robes, his brows and eyes were as clear as water, his face was like a spring breeze, like the morning sun, polite and courteous, making people feel good.

Unlike Ning Zhuo saw Linghu Jiu and thought to himself: "As expected, a great figure!"

He thought of the intelligence and thought of Linghu Jiu sending the Gold-attribute and Fire-attribute comprehension diagrams, feeling more and more that Linghu Jiu was not simple.

"Meeting today, it is necessary to recognize this person more clearly."

Linghu Jiu has a high reputation in the Ten Thousand Medicines Sect, and his status is unshakable; he must be the core of the Ten Thousand Medicines Sect's power, or even the next Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Medicines Sect.

Linghu Jiu secretly marveled: "Good kid! Clear and handsome, a fine young master in a muddy world."

"Although he is valued by family elders, his clothing is simple."

Before meeting, Unlike Ning Zhuo had many speculations about Linghu Jiu. At first sight, he felt that Linghu Jiu was excellent in demeanor, consistent with his own guesses.

Linghu Jiu also had many guesses about Unlike Ning Zhuo; at first sight, he felt that Unlike Ning Zhuo's appearance exceeded his imagination. His clothing was simple and clean, making him feel good.

Both were looking forward to meeting each other, and at first sight, both had good feelings.

Linghu Jiu smiled: "Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, there was already a flying letter notification from the sect before you came. Recently, you have been winning consecutive battles on Small Contention Peak, and your limelight is unmatched. I have lived in a deep cave for a long time, but I have also heard of it. Please come in quickly!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo first put down the wine jar in his hand, supported it in mid-air with magic power, bowed with both hands, and said sternly: "I have long heard of Brother Linghu's great name; seeing you today is truly a great honor. I visited rashly today, carrying a jar of thin wine, hoping you won't dislike it."

Linghu Jiu twitched his nose, stared at the floating wine jar, laughed, and gestured for him to enter: "Brother Ning's generous gift, Linghu accepts with shame. Please, enter, let me show the friendship of a host."

The two entered the cave.

The furnishings in the cave were simple, just stone tables, stone stools, and stone beds.

Linghu Jiu invited Unlike Ning Zhuo to sit down: "The mountain cave is simple, truly neglecting the distinguished guest."

Unlike Ning Zhuo said: "The scenery in the mountains is unique, ancient and quiet. And being able to drink with Brother Linghu today must be a happy event in life."

Linghu Jiu took out a stone bowl and looked at the wine jar with great expectation.

His nose twitched again: "To tell you the truth, Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, I have a wine nose, good at smelling wine fragrance. Just this wine smell alone is not ordinary, it has already hooked my heart!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was stunned for a moment.

In the intelligence, there was a heavy description of Linghu Jiu's addiction to alcohol.

But after meeting, Unlike Ning Zhuo felt that Linghu Jiu's addiction to alcohol was only heavier than described in the intelligence.

Unlike Ning Zhuo poured wine while introducing the origin of the wine.

This is exactly Ice Jade Wine.

Produced from the Ice Heart Jade Pot, it is an heirloom of the Ning family. Cultivators of the Ice Heart Technique drinking this wine complement each other.

Unlike Ning Zhuo first filled Linghu Jiu's stone bowl and then poured his own glass.

Unlike Ning Zhuo raised his glass with both hands: "Visiting today, I must first thank Brother Linghu. Before, the misunderstandings of people like Lao De were all thanks to Brother Linghu's action to solve my difficulties."

Linghu Jiu laughed and picked up the stone bowl: "Oh my, I can't hold it anymore, I'll drink it first!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo:?!

For a moment, the sixteen-year-old boy stayed in place, watching Linghu Jiu raise his neck and swallow the full bowl of Ice Jade Wine into his belly.

Linghu Jiu drank the fine wine and felt an extreme coolness, like drinking ice spring water in the middle of winter.

The cool feeling penetrated his whole body, eliminating all his fatigue and irritability.

The wine liquid was like melting snow, without any spicy feeling, and the lingering sweet aftertaste was like lingering for three days; the more he tasted it, the more he felt it was beautiful!

At the same time, a magnificent light flow burst out in Linghu Jiu's upper dantian, like a waterfall, pouring down from the top of his head, pouring straight into the middle dantian qi sea along the spine.

In the qi sea, the sea of clouds surged, and the waves did not stop.

Linghu Jiu's qi sea cultivation rose steadily.

"Good wine, good wine. Young Master, please fill it up quickly!" Linghu Jiu became excited and was not polite at all.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's smile grew even wider: "It is my honor that Brother Linghu likes this wine."

But he was muttering in his heart: "What kind of temperament is this person? Is this a disguise at this time?"

According to the collected intelligence, Linghu Jiu is lazy and casual, and is very popular with his fellow disciples. But before, when Lao De and others spread rumors, Linghu Jiu took care of the overall situation and took the initiative to pay Unlike Ning Zhuo the Gold-attribute and Fire-attribute comprehension diagrams. It is clear that he has a city. This made Unlike Ning Zhuo wonder what Linghu Jiu's true face was.

The Unlike Ning Zhuo of the past needed long-term observation and contact to gradually understand a person's temperament and details.

But now, with supernatural powers in hand and magic treasures by his side, he also had convenient means.

Watching Linghu Jiu drink the second big bowl, a sharp light flashed in Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes.

Supernatural power—Human Life Hanging...

"Hmm?!"

At this moment, Unlike Ning Zhuo almost lost his color.

Because a strong intuition told him: if he activated the supernatural power at this moment, even if he could plant it smoothly, it would be discovered by Linghu Jiu!

This situation was the first time Unlike Ning Zhuo had encountered it.

His heart was shocked.

"I have Foundation Establishment cultivation, and Golden Core level cultivators cannot be exempted or perceive it. Ning Jiufan, Zhou family's second ancestor, Mount Wuyin Fox God. Even someone as strong as Zhu Xuanji was blessed with my Human Life Hanging Thread supernatural power."

For Golden Core level existences, although Unlike Ning Zhuo added the Human Life Hanging Thread, it was at most to increase some sensing for himself, and it was impossible to forcibly control it.

On one hand, even if forcibly controlled, the control range is extremely small, at most moving a little finger, or sneezing, etc.

On the other hand, once forcibly controlled, the Golden Core cultivators who couldn't perceive it before would inevitably know, thus generating suspicion. It is very likely that they would discover Unlike Ning Zhuo and then beat the big-headed boy to death in a rage.

"I cannot add the hanging thread to Nascent Soul level existences."

Unlike Ning Zhuo had secretly tried this point after seeing Yuan Lao.

It was useless, it couldn't fall down at all.

The hanging thread descended above the head, and there was an invisible force, like a strong wind blowing, making the hanging thread unable to succeed.

"For Foundation Establishment level existences, my supernatural power has always been unfavorable, but today it failed on Linghu Jiu!"

Hanzhou, Hua Guzi, Lin Shanshan, and others in the Ten Thousand Medicines Valley were all planted with the Human Life Hanging Thread by Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Lai Wuying, Zheng Xingchen, and others had not yet received such treatment. This is because Unlike Ning Zhuo maintains a good habit of not publicly displaying supernatural powers in public.

Unlike Ning Zhuo felt that once the Human Life Hanging Thread was planted on Linghu Jiu, although it could be successful and controlled, it would inevitably be discovered by the other party.

"Linghu Jiu has a deep foundation and can resist my supernatural power to a certain extent!"

"It seems that like me, he is well-versed in the way of hiding clumsiness. It's just that I don't know who hides more and deeper between us."

Unlike Ning Zhuo's heart was shocked, but his face showed nothing.

Since Linghu Jiu likes fine wine, he poured it frequently.

"Please."

"Please!"

"Please again!"

Linghu Jiu drank ten bowls in a row, still wanting more.

His face was flushed, his eyebrows were dancing, his breath was full of wine, and his gestures became larger.

"Good wine, good wine."

Wine helps poetry, he opened his mouth and said:

"Ice jade enters the throat and cools to the bone, in drunkenness, the heart sees human feelings."

"The sweet aftertaste lingers on the tongue for a long time, the divine field and qi sea rise together!"

A sharp light flashed in Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes, praising Linghu Jiu for his literary style, and was about to respond with a poem to match the scene, but unexpectedly Linghu Jiu suddenly spoke.

Only heard him say: "Brother Unlike Ning Zhuo, what is your intention toward my Shanshan junior sister?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo gave a light ah, feeling that Linghu Jiu's words were like a sudden sword, stabbing directly, catching him off guard.

He placed the glass in his hand gently on the stone table, showing a solemn and serious expression: "I met Miss Lin as if we were old friends."

"Coming to your precious place this time is to seek advice and alliance."

"Miss Lin has a simple heart, is enthusiastic and hospitable, and has helped me many times, even to the point of being grounded."

"The friend's kindness is heavy, I keep it in my heart, and there will be a thick reward in the future!"

Linghu Jiu stared at Unlike Ning Zhuo with drunken eyes, the smell of wine was strong.

But at this moment, Unlike Ning Zhuo felt as if his heart had been seen through by Linghu Jiu, without any cover.

Linghu Jiu pointed at Unlike Ning Zhuo: "Good kid, it's actually true words!"

"Hahaha."

"Hahaha!"

He looked up and laughed, even his eyes were moist, not caring about his image at all, and wiped his tears in front of Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Linghu Jiu's emotions were complicated and difficult to express.

On one hand, there was a sense of relief. The junior sister he had in his heart was not taken by an outsider.

On the other hand, there was also grievance and stuffiness. The junior sister he had in his heart had paid so much, but was not taken by an outsider!

Seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo stunned and speechless, with a puzzled face, Linghu Jiu sighed: "Sorry, Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo. I have a talent called Drunken Moon Seeking Immortal."

"As long as I drink fine wine and am in a state of drunkenness, I can fly in spirit, have constant inspiration, observe the world, and be incisive."

"Just asking, I used my talent and knew that what you said was true."

"To tell the truth, it's not just Lao De and others who misunderstood you, even I misunderstood you!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "Drunken Moon Seeking Immortal?"

"No matter what, being able to resolve this misunderstanding is a great happy event for me."

"Brother Linghu doesn't need to apologize, I should thank you instead."

Saying that, he raised his wine glass.

Linghu Jiu also picked up the wine bowl, the two collided the vessels, and both drank it in one gulp.

Linghu Jiu looked Unlike Ning Zhuo up and down, and suddenly sighed: "I know why my junior sister favors you."

He pointed at Unlike Ning Zhuo: "Junior sister follows my master the most, that is, her father, the Sect Master of my sect."

"You look like this, upright, very much like my master."

Unlike Ning Zhuo hurriedly humbled himself, saying what virtue and ability he had to compare with a Nascent Soul great cultivator like Lin Bufan.

Linghu Jiu suddenly stood up: "You wait a moment, don't worry about the Ice Jade Wine yet. I will also treat you to a meal of wine."

He took a few big steps and walked to the stone bed.

He touched the side of the bed and took out a jar of wine.

Linghu Jiu returned to sit down, placed the wine on the stone table, and did not forget to show off proudly: "I have been grounded many times, so I asked people to set up a secret storage array here to collect some good wine."

"Whenever I am lonely and unbearable, and thirsty, I will take out a bottle to relieve my wine craving."

"This wine is called Ghost Thought Underworld Brew, which is quite useful for you, Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo."

Linghu Jiu picked up the wine jar and poured it for Unlike Ning Zhuo.

He introduced: "The main ingredients of this wine are Underworld Water and Night Wandering Grass, and the auxiliary ingredients are Moon Dew, Underworld Jade, and Nine-Tailed Fox Tears."

"After drinking, it can spread thoughts, reach the underworld, comprehend the wisdom of predecessors, and get guidance from the underworld."

Linghu Jiu sighed and continued: "I have the talent of Drunken Moon Seeking Immortal, so my master specifically invited a spirit chef expert to brew this wine for me. My cultivation has benefited a lot from this wine."

"Please!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo had already been hooked by a lot of curiosity, and solemnly picked up the wine glass, looking at it carefully.

He saw the Ghost Thought Underworld Brew was deep blue, with tiny fluorescence.

Close to the tip of his nose, he smelled it carefully, the fragrance of the wine was light, almost non-existent, but it immediately made Unlike Ning Zhuo's mind clear and peaceful.

"Boss, I'm going to drink it." Unlike Ning Zhuo transmitted.

In the mechanism swimming dragon, Sun Lingtong swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Stinky kid, eating and drinking well outside, and still need me to look after you. Remember to leave some for me."

Unlike Ning Zhuo calmed his mind and took a light sip.

The wine slid across the tip of his tongue, sweet with a faint bitterness, like the ups and downs of life.

After the wine entered his belly, a warm feeling radiated from the inside out, the mysterious power from the spirit wine flowed in his body, bringing an unprecedented peace and tranquility.

In a trance, Unlike Ning Zhuo "saw" a person.

"I am the Five Elements God Lord! The mysteries of the five elements are all in my hands. Five Spirits and Five Gods, listen to my orders, dare not disobey."

"Junior, do you want my Five Viscera Temple Spirit Divine Art?"

"Hahaha, listen well!"

"The five elements are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth; the five viscera are heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney. The five elements belong to the five viscera, each performing its own duties, generating and restraining each other, circulating endlessly..."

Unlike Ning Zhuo concentrated and listened carefully.

As a result, the words of the Five Elements God Lord became lighter and lighter, weaker and weaker, and finally even the figure disappeared.

"What's going on?" Unlike Ning Zhuo opened his eyes suddenly.

The wine woke him up.

Unlike Ning Zhuo felt a sense of loss.

Linghu Jiu laughed: "It seems that Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo has realized the benefits of this wine."

"Drink more?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was not polite and said eagerly: "Please pour the wine."

After drinking another cup, he saw the ancient-looking Five Elements God Lord with divine power again. The God Lord continued to teach Unlike Ning Zhuo his family's cultivation method!

Five Viscera Temple Spirit Divine Art!

This cultivation method is very profound, which can be said to gather the essence of heaven and earth, reconcile the wonders of the five elements, and has deep Tao and principles.

Although Unlike Ning Zhuo is young, his vision is broad. He only listened to the opening, and he knew that this cultivation method was no less than the Three Sects' Upper Law!

Even though he had already practiced the Three Sects' Upper Law, this divine art was still of great benefit to him. Comparing the two, Unlike Ning Zhuo could understand the principles of the five elements more deeply.

He also hoped that some spells contained in this cultivation method could be improved by him and used for himself.

Unlike Ning Zhuo drank bowl after bowl.
