The first to leave was not Unlike Ning Zhuo, but Ning Jiufan.

"Old Ancestor." Unlike Ning Zhuo bowed, "Returning to the city this time, we still need to be more cautious, don't be negligent."

"The demon cultivation technique given by the royal family this time, although precious, has not been clearly identified, so don't let Yuan Lao practice it rashly."

"The struggle for the Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Essence is dangerous, if it causes chaos due to improper cultivation, I fear it will delay the big event."

"The means for our family to restrain Yuan Lao is originally official art, originating from the royal family. If the demon cultivation method also originates from the Zhu family, I fear it is inappropriate."

"Therefore, I dare to advise, thinking that stability is the best policy at this time, temporarily delay cultivation, and wait for the situation to calm down a bit before making a decision, which is the best strategy."

Ning Jiufan listened carefully and nodded silently.

Unlike Ning Zhuo's temperament and methods, Ning Jiufan had already experienced in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng.

At that time, Unlike Ning Zhuo could use his Qi Refining cultivation to plan and prepare for more than ten years, playing the Nascent Soul-level Meng Kui around, while he himself borrowed power from several major forces such as the Ning family, Zheng family, Zhou family, royal Zhu family, and the City Lord's Mansion. Every time Ning Jiufan thought of this, he was amazed. If he were Unlike Ning Zhuo, he would never be able to achieve such an outstanding level.

And this time coming to the Myriad Medicine Gate, what he saw and heard made Ning Jiufan value Unlike Ning Zhuo even more!

Unlike Ning Zhuo's current level in the Five Elements realm had already far exceeded Ning Jiufan, the old ancestor.

He possessed a mysterious Immortal Talent, received the favor and recognition of the Five Elements Divine Lord, and received the Five Viscera Temple Spirit God Art passed down by the latter.

Unlike Ning Zhuo once again showed his high-level social skills in the Myriad Medicine Gate. His relationship with Lin Shanshan was unclear, but he could still get along well with Brother Linghu Jiu.

Not to mention, there was a Hua Guzi beside Unlike Ning Zhuo, who was clearly infatuated with him.

Regarding this point, Ning Jiufan was extremely impressed in the depths of his heart. Because he felt that he was exhausted just dealing with Yuan Lao on a daily basis, feeling that he couldn't handle it, and had to go all out. Unlike Ning Zhuo, however, was adept at social interaction, and this kind of difficulty was easy for him.

Ning Jiufan finished listening to Unlike Ning Zhuo's advice carefully.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was worried about the situation in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, which made Ning Jiufan feel quite gratified, realizing once again that Unlike Ning Zhuo was concerned about the family.

Regarding the alliance of the Ning family, Zhu family, and Zhou family, against the Meng family, and the situation of the struggle around the Lava Xian Gong, Unlike Ning Zhuo still believed that the Taiqing Palace was a force that could not be ignored.

Ning Jiufan handed Unlike Ning Zhuo a jade slip: "This is the information transmitted through the post station only yesterday."

"According to your meaning, I sent an envoy to Taiqing Palace to seek cooperation, but was rejected."

"Taiqing Palace was indeed as you expected, after absorbing the clansmen of the Zheng family, they mastered a part of the Xian Gong's duties, and had many ideas about this Xian Gong, just hadn't launched them yet."

"Taiqing Palace won over the Zheng family cultivators, so they didn't give the Ning family a good look."

The reason was very simple, the branch mastered by Unlike Ning Zhuo occupied the original clan land of the Zheng family, which made the Zheng family cultivators deeply hate, and told the envoy directly that if they wanted to cooperate, they should return the clan land first.

This was obviously impossible!

The value of the clan land was huge, and it was the foundation of the branch's standing. Nowadays, a major income of the Ning branch was processing Jade Moist Profound Steel. This was thanks to the many weapon refining rooms in the Zheng family clan land, which could use the endless earth fire of Fire Persimmon Mountain. And the quality of some weapon refining rooms even exceeded that of the City Lord's Mansion.

Unlike Ning Zhuo frowned, poured divine sense into the jade slip, and after reading it, his brows relaxed a little.

The jade slip elaborated on more situations. It wasn't just the Ning family that sent envoys; the Meng family and Zhu family also sent envoys to negotiate with Taiqing Palace.

Compared to the Meng family and Zhu family, the Ning family was nothing at all. No wonder they were ignored.

The heroes of the world are like crucian carp crossing the river, how many there are! Of course, Unlike Ning Zhuo was not the only smart person who saw the situation clearly.

Obviously, other forces also realized that this remnant force of the Zheng family in Taiqing Palace could not be ignored.

"According to the Zheng family's position, it is very possible to get close to the Meng family and deal with our clan. But in fact, what really needs to be considered is the position of Taiqing Palace."

"According to the geographical location of Taiqing Palace, they are not close to the Meng family's sphere of influence. From this point of view, accepting the wooing of the royal Zhu family is more likely."

"Sigh, I hope the Zhu family royal family can succeed."

Before leaving, Ning Jiufan also cared for Unlike Ning Zhuo.

On one hand, he encouraged Unlike Ning Zhuo, telling him that his behavior in the Myriad Medicine Valley was correct, and he should try his best to enhance his own combat power. Mechanical creations are ultimately not the true self, and in critical moments, they are not as fast and sensitive as one's own power dispatch.

There is a saying called a glimmer of life; sometimes life and death are just between a line, and a difference of a hair's breadth leads to a thousand miles of error.

On the other hand, Ning Jiufan warned Unlike Ning Zhuo that the world is full of dangers, and sects like the Myriad Medicine Gate are special, so he shouldn't underestimate the front because of this. In the next journey of roaming the world, he must be more careful, and the heart of defense cannot be lacking.

"Just like your next stop, going to the Thousand Peaks Forest in the Two-Note Kingdom. The Six-Cave Sect entrenched there once had a good relationship with my Ning family and had many business dealings."

"More than ten years ago, my clan migrated and wanted to borrow strength from the Six-Cave Sect. As a result, they secretly betrayed us, connected with our enemies, and set up ambushes and traps."

"At that time, my clan left the North Wind Kingdom and entered the Two-Note Kingdom, exhausted, thinking it was safe, and very relaxed."

"The betrayal and harm of the Six-Cave Sect almost put us to death."

"It was also heaven not cutting us off; at the moment of survival, my clan drilled into the cave and luckily found a way out in countless complex tunnels."

"Finally, my clan followed the underground dark river, left the Two-Note Kingdom, avoided the obstacles and traps of the enemies, and came to the Southern Bean Kingdom, which is in the Myriad Medicine Valley."

"At that time, because of the Six-Cave Sect, my clan was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow. But in the Myriad Medicine Valley, we received Lin Bufan's hospitality."

"This Sect Master Lin had never met my clan, but had such style and capacity. Therefore, my clan, including the old man, has always secretly felt grateful to Lin Bufan."

"This time, although we learned the truth of the year, Sect Master Lin Bufan did take care of my clan, and this feeling of gratitude and repayment still exists."

Speaking of this, Ning Jiufan showed a solemn expression: "Little Zhuo, if you encounter the Six-Cave Sect in the Two-Note Kingdom, you can act according to the situation."

Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately keenly captured Ning Jiufan's implication, and he nodded: "Old Ancestor, I understand!"

"The Six-Cave Sect is the enemy of my Ning family, as long as there is a chance, I will definitely give them some color to see."

"Good, good, good." Ning Jiufan stroked his beard and laughed, "I can still trust your methods and abilities."

"However, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late; a genius takes revenge, a hundred years is still waiting."

"You have Immortal Talent, the future is yours, and the entire Ning family will have to rely on you to support it in the future. You must not lose the big because of the small, and everything must be based on your own safety."

"Old Ancestor, I know." Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled.

This Six-Cave Sect was originally his target.

Because back then, the Ning family left in a hurry, many clansmen died at the hands of the Six-Cave Sect, and many properties also fell into the hands of the other party.

Like the mechanical car that Meng Yao took when she was pregnant with Unlike Ning Zhuo, it was one of them.

Even, according to what Meng Yao once said, she moved her fetus back then, it was in the Thousand Peaks Forest, during this period.

Ning Jiufan wanted to go back first, on one hand, to make arrangements in advance and prepare for the reception of Lin Bufan and others, on the other hand, he still had to go to Jade Steel Mountain on the way back to stand up for the Ning family forces on Jade Steel Mountain.

He had Golden Core cultivation, showing his face would be very helpful for the Ning family's layout on Jade Steel Mountain.

Unlike Ning Zhuo let Ning Jiufan take Hanzhou away and just put Hanzhou on Jade Steel Mountain.

Before parting, Unlike Ning Zhuo had already made various arrangements.

Hua Guzi stayed in the Myriad Medicine Valley to cooperate with the next Ning clansmen Ning Yong and others, mainly to look after the Spirit-Hidden Willow, maintain close communication with the Myriad Medicine Gate, and do a good job of business between the two sides.

After communicating with Hanzhou, Unlike Ning Zhuo was willing to let Hanzhou teach the Bitter Cold Scripture to his own clansmen, and tempted Hanzhou to go to Jade Steel Mountain to teach the law.

Hanzhou had good strength, and the Bitter Cold Scripture was very useful to the Ning branch.

"My branch has just been established, although the business is done, everything is in short supply."

The treatment of a large number of branch clansmen became fair, and their enthusiasm for cultivation was also stimulated, rising unprecedentedly.

What is missing is cultivation materials.

Under these circumstances, the Bitter Cold Scripture is an answer to the predicament.

Because practicing the Bitter Cold Scripture has low costs and high returns. And the Ning clansmen on Jade Steel Mountain are mostly mining and have to suffer.

This is a great bonus for the cultivation of the Bitter Cold Scripture.

"This cooperation will definitely be a win-win!" Unlike Ning Zhuo was very confident about this.

Regarding the family's cultivation techniques, Unlike Ning Zhuo also had his own ideas.

He had now mastered the Five Viscera Temple Spirit God Art and had a profound Five Elements realm, so he could completely improve this technique to make it more suitable for the current environment.

After the improvement, Unlike Ning Zhuo planned to bestow the Five Viscera Temple Spirit God Art in stages to those close to him.

For example, Ning Yong, who was going to be stationed at the Myriad Medicine Gate this time, was willing to change to practice this technique.

One day later, Unlike Ning Zhuo officially set off secretly.

Not to mention the separation from Brother Linghu Jiu and Lin Shanshan.

Zhu Xuanji also cared for him.

Unlike Ning Zhuo thanked Zhu Xuanji for his help, and Zhu Xuanji warned him: "Since you are going to the Two-Note Kingdom, be careful. It's not peaceful there recently."

"The Two-Note Kingdom is mobilizing troops, and there are signs of gathering a large army, under the banner of cutting down mountains and breaking temples, wanting to wipe out the Thousand Peaks Forest."

Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately heard that Zhu Xuanji had something left unsaid, so he asked directly.

Zhu Xuanji sighed and looked at the national situation in the distance.

It turned out that the Two-Note Kingdom was small and weak, sandwiched between the Southern Bean Kingdom and the North Wind Kingdom, and had always been a buffer zone for the two countries to fight.

Because the Two-Note Kingdom King only had Soul Transformation cultivation, the Southern Bean Kingdom and the North Wind Kingdom had always had a great influence on the Two-Note Kingdom.

"Many forces in the north of the Two-Note Kingdom are secretly funded by the North Wind Kingdom, and have indirect influence on the Two-Note Kingdom court."

"And at the southernmost tip of the Two-Note Kingdom, it is the Thousand Peaks Forest. All along, this piece of mountain forest has been in a state of many mountain heads and complex forces. This is exactly the situation my country wants."
