Chapter 416

At this time, another Dharma body fought for a long time and retreated, revealing his figure.

This person had a broad forehead, black hair like ink, and was tied up with a simple cloth towel.

He had a slender figure, a calm gait, wore plain robes, and hung a green medicine bag and a simple bamboo flute on his belt.

He held a tumor-headed wooden staff in one hand and a notebook in the other.

On the notebook was the book title—Xu Xing Ji.

This was still a famous historical figure, and his image was quite classic in various records. Therefore, as soon as everyone saw him, they knew his identity.

Xu Xing!

This person was a famous traveler who had traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, browsed the five lakes, indulged in the four seas, explored dangerous secret realms many times, and the travel records he left behind, named Xu Xing Ji, were snatched up by later generations.

There were sixteen volumes of Xu Xing Ji in total, and they had never been collected since Xu Xing passed away. Many volumes were firmly controlled by major forces because they recorded the exploration and entry methods of secret realms, and were forbidden from being spread.

Xu Xing also quite liked excellent juniors like Unlike Ning Zhuo, and explained first: "This has to start with the limits of the Linlang Reflection Wall and the causes of the dynasties."

"The Linlang Reflection Wall was formed in the Martial Emperor era, when heaven and earth had not yet digested the ways of demons and devils, and the Linlang Reflection Wall was limited to the original principles of heaven and earth."

"Therefore, the way of the Five Elements can be reflected, the way of heaven and earth can be reflected, the way of Yin and Yang, the Four Symbols, and the Eight Trigrams can be reflected, but the way of demons and devils cannot."

Unlike Ning Zhuo suddenly had a realization.

Xu Xing continued: "There are three great dynasties in this world, all of which were essentially prosperous due to external paths, crushing the old pattern."

"For example, the Blood Slaughter Dynasty, where the principles of demons and devils were captured by the world, and since then, there have been demons and devils in this world."

"After the Forbidden Dynasty, heaven and earth had gods and Buddhas."

"After the Night Rain Dynasty, ghosts and monsters appeared in the world."

"The external paths that can brew dynasties are all very strong, which can trigger the upheaval of heaven and earth and the reshuffling of forces."

"But for these external paths, the Linlang Reflection Wall is quite fragile and cannot reflect them. Only after heaven and earth adapt and digest them can the Reflection Wall benefit and involve various external paths."

The Five Elements Divine Lord interjected: "Earlier, the purple blade mark you performed, Unlike Ning Zhuo, originated from the Night Rain Dynasty, which is the presentation of the external path of ghosts and monsters."

"The Linlang Reflection Wall couldn't digest it and couldn't reflect it. Although the damage was minimal, the essence could not be eliminated, and in the end, it could only be excluded."

Unlike Ning Zhuo suddenly realized.

The period when the Linlang Reflection Wall was refined was too ancient, and it had an upper limit from the beginning, unable to adapt to carrying external paths.

The Night Rain Dynasty had passed for so many years, and it still couldn't adapt to the way of ghosts and monsters, and could only be treated by exclusion.

Therefore, once a brand-new dynasty appears, there must be an extremely strong external path absorbed by the world. During this period, the geniuses and experts who emerge are all leaders who have mastered external paths.

For these people, the Linlang Reflection Wall cannot reflect them, and they are quite threatening to the Linlang Reflection Wall.

Therefore, every time a dynasty comes, the Linlang Reflection Wall sinks into the center of the earth and avoids the world.

This also explains why the Five Elements Divine Lord was so surprised when he saw the purple blade mark earlier.

According to common sense, the Linlang Reflection Wall should absorb the Dharma bodies of later generations, and the Five Elements Divine Lord, as an elder here, should have seen it long ago.

But after seeing the purple blade mark, he was quite surprised, his expression shaken.

The Linlang Reflection Wall avoided the world during the Forbidden Dynasty and the Night Rain Dynasty, missing the great era. Although it missed many wonderful things, it was precisely such a move that allowed it to survive to this day!

Jingyu Immortal Concubine took the initiative to talk to everyone about cooperation.

Earlier, she revealed to Lin Bufan through the Grass Saint, asking him to perform martial arts in the Myriad Medicine Valley as much as possible to attract excellent juniors, so that the jade wall could reflect them.

But those Lin Bufan could attract were only at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core levels.

This was quite insufficient for the Linlang Reflection Wall.

Now, Unlike Ning Zhuo representing the Ning family and Zhu Xuanji representing the Southern Bean Kingdom royal family gave Jingyu Immortal Concubine more choices.

Jingyu Immortal Concubine hoped that Unlike Ning Zhuo, Zhu Xuanji, and others could attract excellent junior cultivators for the Linlang Reflection Wall, the stronger the strength and talent, the better.

Jingyu Immortal Concubine was preventing the emergence of a dynasty hundreds of years later, which would lead to the Linlang Reflection Wall avoiding the world for many years, the demon nest inside the wall evolving, and the old Dharma bodies finding it difficult to contain the counterattack of the demon beasts, eventually leading to the failure of suppression and sealing.

Therefore, at this juncture before the great struggle, Jingyu Immortal Concubine needed to absorb more combat power.

For example, the Linlang Reflection Wall is like a giant whale, coming to the surface of the water to swallow air before sinking into the deep sea for a long-term dive.

At this time, the more air it needs to swallow, the better, and the higher the quality, the better.

But Jingyu Immortal Concubine didn't want to make a big splash.

After all, the Linlang Reflection Wall is a quasi-immortal treasure with immense value. If it attracted the great forces of the contemporary era or those with profound cultivation, and led them to take action and take the Reflection Wall for themselves, that would not be beautiful.

What she was even more worried about was encountering some cultivators with ulterior motives, or falling into the vortex of power struggles, causing the sealing and suppression of the Linlang Reflection Wall to be disturbed and destroyed, which would greatly violate the original intention of manufacturing the Reflection Wall!

Facing the cooperation proposed by Jingyu Immortal Concubine, Lin Bufan's expression was complex, while the Zhu and Ning sides readily agreed.

Just kidding!

Whoever doesn't agree is a peerless big fool!!

The demon nest represents endless material sources and also financial sources.

Countless sage Dharma bodies represent countless excellent inheritances.

If the Linlang Reflection Wall is used properly, it will become the best place for martial arts and troop training.

The Myriad Medicine Gate, the Ning family, the Zhu family, and even the national strength of the Southern Bean Kingdom will all be improved because of this cooperation!

The negotiations regarding this cooperation lasted for three days and three nights.

After the negotiations had results, Unlike Ning Zhuo fell asleep with deep dark circles under his eyes.

When he woke up the next day, he still felt exhausted and listless, as he had truly gone all out in the negotiations.

But there was no other way!

The magnitude of the interests involved required him to strive for the greatest effort. If he could win one more share at this time, the development speed of the entire Ning family branch would skyrocket several times, even ten times! The future strength would also expand several times, even ten times more.

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Ning Jiufan were like one, borrowing power from the Zhu family, squeezing out the Myriad Medicine Gate, arguing with Jingyu Immortal Concubine, pulling in Linghu Jiu, borrowing the relationships of the Five Elements Divine Lord and the Lonely Sword Monarch, and constantly pestering them. It left Linghu Jiu dumbfounded and Lin Shanshan gritting her teeth.

The final result was that Unlike Ning Zhuo fiercely bit off a piece of fat meat.

As long as the cooperation continues, for nearly five hundred years, Unlike Ning Zhuo and the entire Ning clan will benefit extraordinarily, and the development speed of the entire branch will be boosted again, soaring by a large margin!

Myriad Medicine Valley.

In the highest-level medicine field array, Unlike Ning Zhuo bowed: "Miss Lin."

Lin Shanshan gave him a white look, then bowed to Ning Jiufan who came with him: "Senior Ning, Young Master Ning, please follow me this way."

In the previous negotiations, Unlike Ning Zhuo had torn his face off, arguing with Lin Bufan until his face was red and his neck was thick, deeply offending the daughter of the sect master again.

The relationship between the two sides had eased slightly before, but this time it dropped to freezing point again.

So much so that Unlike Ning Zhuo tried to find topics to talk to Lin Shanshan, but got no response.

Lin Shanshan led Unlike Ning Zhuo into the array within an array.

Here, he saw Lin Bufan and the Spirit-Hidden Willow again.

The Spirit-Hidden Willow was now showing green, and the originally withered branches were at least half full, much better than the withered look before.

Ning Jiufan stroked his beard and immediately praised: "Kid, I said that handing this spiritual plant to Sect Master Lin would definitely not be wrong."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was quite happy, circled the tree three times, and patted the trunk: "Old Willow, I spent all my efforts, and finally saved you, that's great."

The willow branches brushed lightly, as if wanting to brush Unlike Ning Zhuo's face, but only trembled slightly and stopped halfway, looking like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness failing to raise his hand, without much strength.

Lin Bufan:...

He felt quite speechless and immediately stated that in order to save this Spirit-Hidden Willow, he had used various resources, all of which were rare items. He went all out and also mobilized the elders in the Myriad Medicine Gate to work together, spending all his efforts to achieve this result.

The implication was, how did it become your credit in Unlike Ning Zhuo's mouth?

Unlike Ning Zhuo waved his hand: "Oh, Sect Master Lin, our alliance has already been signed, we are already our own people. Isn't your credit my credit? Why do we need to distinguish so clearly?"

Lin Bufan was laughed at by anger.

Lin Shanshan glared at Unlike Ning Zhuo, and Unlike Ning Zhuo even giggled at her, making her grit her teeth in anger, but she couldn't do anything about Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Lin Bufan quickly restrained his emotions.

Since the last negotiation, he had deeply learned about Unlike Ning Zhuo's shamelessness and thick skin. The latter was extremely good at using his junior status, and Lin Bufan wanted to deal with him, but many times, due to his elder status, he really couldn't take action and couldn't afford to lose face.

"The spirit spring is here, it's up to you two." Lin Bufan pointed his finger.

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded repeatedly: "Sect Master Lin, don't worry, since the alliance has been signed, the matter of renting the Ten-Thousand-Year Water Essence is set in stone, I will definitely not go back on my word."

Saying that, he took two Ten-Thousand-Year Water Essences from the mechanical swimming dragon on his waist and put them into the spring eye of the spirit spring.

This Ten-Thousand-Year Water Essence was naturally given by Jingyu Immortal Concubine after leaving the Linlang Reflection Wall.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had one, and Sun Lingtong had one.

But Boss Sun took the Ten-Thousand-Year Water Essence and felt it was useless. Unlike Ning Zhuo wanted to borrow it, so he simply lent it to Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo relied on the two Ten-Thousand-Year Water Essences to move Lin Bufan as a condition during the negotiations.

Because putting the Ten-Thousand-Year Water Essence into any kind of water body would have a huge boost.

Seeing the Ten-Thousand-Year Water Essence placed in, Lin Bufan confirmed it, then mobilized the array to cover the spirit spring heavily.

"Why didn't you put in the one from Senior Brother Linghu?" Unlike Ning Zhuo felt puzzled and asked casually.

Lin Bufan snorted coldly and didn't answer.

Lin Shanshan gave Unlike Ning Zhuo a white look and didn't respond either.

Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't ask anymore; he walked to Lin Bufan and reached out his hand: "Sect Master Lin?"

The next moment, Lin Bufan took out the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat: "This boat is the inheritance treasure of my Myriad Medicine Gate, I hope Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo will keep it carefully."

Unlike Ning Zhuo then said: "Don't worry, don't worry, Sect Master Lin. My inheritance treasure is also here with you."

He pointed his finger at the Spirit-Hidden Willow.

Then, stroking the small boat in his palm, he sighed: "Sigh, as the clan leader of this branch, I have really broken my heart for the clansmen."

"I hope the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat can be of some help to them."

After saying that, he tucked the Fetal Breath Spirit Boat into his arms.

While saying this, Unlike Ning Zhuo was planning to burn this spirit boat as soon as possible to exchange for his mother's spirituality.

"The key is that this spirit boat is only borrowed; if I cremate it nearby, it will definitely be sensed by Lin Bufan."

"Better to run further away before doing this!"
