Chapter 419

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

"Ancestor." Ning Zhuo bowed, "This return to the city requires more caution, do not be negligent."

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

"Regarding the struggle for the ten-thousand-year fire essence, it 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 official art, originating from the royal family. If the monster cultivation method also originates from the Zhu family, I fear it is inappropriate."

"Therefore, I dare to advise that it is better to be safe at this time, temporarily slow down the cultivation, and wait for the situation to be slightly calm before making a decision, which is the best policy."

Ning Jiufan listened carefully and nodded silently.

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

At that time, Ning Zhuo was able to plan and prepare for more than ten years with Foundation Establishment cultivation, playing the Nascent Soul-level Meng Kui around, while he himself borrowed power between 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 Ning Zhuo, he would never have achieved such an outstanding degree.

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

Ning Zhuo's level in the Five Elements realm now far exceeded Ning Jiufan, the ancestor.

He possessed mysterious immortal talent, gained the favor and recognition of the Five Elements God Lord, and received the Five Viscera Temple Spirit God Art passed down by the latter.

Ning Zhuo showed his superb social skills in the Myriad Medicine Sect again. His relationship with Lin Shanshan was unclear, but he could still get along well with Linghu Jiu.

Not to mention, there was a Flower Guzi beside Ning Zhuo, who was almost infatuated with him.

Regarding this point, Ning Jiufan admired him deeply in his heart. Because he felt that he was exhausted dealing with Yuan Lao daily, feeling that he couldn't handle it, and had to go all out. Ning Zhuo, however, was adept at social intercourse, and this kind of difficulty was easy for him.

Ning Jiufan listened to Ning Zhuo's advice seriously.

Ning Zhuo worrying about the situation in Fire Persimmon Immortal City made Ning Jiufan feel quite gratified, realizing again that Ning Zhuo was concerned about the family.

Regarding the alliance of the Ning family, Zhu family, and Zhou family, resisting the Meng family, and the struggle around the Molten Immortal Palace, Ning Zhuo still believed that the Taiqing Palace was a force that could not be ignored.

Ning Jiufan handed 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 the Taiqing Palace to seek cooperation, but was rejected."

"The Taiqing Palace was indeed as you expected, after absorbing the Zheng family clansmen, they mastered part of the Immortal Palace's duties and had many ideas about this Immortal Palace, but they hadn't launched it yet."

"The 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 family mastered by Ning Zhuo occupied the original Zheng family's clan land, which made the Zheng family cultivators hate them deeply, and they 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 for the branch family to stand. Nowadays, a major income of the Ning branch family was processing Jade Run Profound Steel. This was thanks to many weapon refining rooms in the Zheng family's clan land, which could use the infinite earth fire of Fire Persimmon Mountain. And the quality of some weapon refining rooms even exceeded that of the City Lord's Mansion.

Ning Zhuo frowned, infused the jade slip with spiritual sense, and after reading it, his brows relaxed slightly.

The jade slip elaborated on more situations. It was not just the Ning family that sent envoys, but the Meng family and Zhu family also sent envoys to negotiate with the Taiqing Palace.

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

Heroes in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river, how many there are! Ning Zhuo is certainly not the only smart person who sees the situation clearly.

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

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

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

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

Ning Jiufan also cared for Ning Zhuo before leaving.

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

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

On the other hand, Ning Jiufan warned Ning Zhuo that the world is full of dangers, and sects like the Myriad Medicine Sect are special, so he cannot underestimate the front because of this. In the next journey, he must be more careful, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.

"Just like your next stop, going to the Thousand Peak Forest in the Liangzhu Kingdom. The Six Caves Sect that occupies that place 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 Caves Sect. As a result, they secretly betrayed us, colluded with our enemies, and set up ambushes and traps."

"My clan left the North Wind Kingdom at that time and entered the Liangzhu Kingdom, exhausted, thinking it was safe, and greatly relaxed."

"The betrayal and harm of the Six Caves Sect almost killed us."

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

"In the end, my clan followed the underground dark river, left the Liangzhu Kingdom, avoided the obstacles and traps of the enemy, and came to the Nandou Kingdom, which is in the Myriad Medicine Valley."

"At that time, because of the Six Caves Sect, my clan was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow. But in the Myriad Medicine Valley, we were treated by Lin Bufan."

"This Sect Master Lin had never met my clan before, but had such style and capacity. Because of this, 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: "Xiao Zhuo, if you meet the Six Caves Sect in the Liangzhu Kingdom, you can act according to the situation."

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

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

"Good, good, good." Ning Jiufan stroked his beard and laughed, "Regarding your means and ability, I still trust you."

"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 in the future. You must not lose big because of small things, and everything must be based on your own safety."

"Ancestor, I know." Ning Zhuo smiled.

This Six Caves Sect was originally his target.

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

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

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

Ning Jiufan wanted to go back first, on the one hand, to arrange in advance and prepare to meet Lin Bufan and others, and on the other hand, he had to turn around on the way back to Jade Steel Mountain to stand for the Ning family's forces on Jade Steel Mountain.

He had Golden Core cultivation, showing up, which was very helpful for the Ning family's layout on Jade Steel Mountain.

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

Ning Zhuo had made various arrangements before parting.

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

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

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

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

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

What is missing is cultivation materials.

In this case, the Bitter Cold Sutra is an answer to solve the predicament.

Because practicing the Bitter Cold Sutra 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 Sutra.

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

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

He has now mastered the Five Viscera Temple Spirit God Art and has a deep Five Elements realm, so he can completely improve this technique to make it more adapted to the current environment.

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

For example, Ning Yong, who is going to be stationed in the Myriad Medicine Sect this time, is willing to change to practice this technique.

One day later, Ning Zhuo officially set off secretly.

The separation from Linghu Jiu and Lin Shanshan, let alone.

Zhu Xuanji also cared for him.

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

"The Liangzhu 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 Peak Forest."

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 Liangzhu Kingdom was small and weak, sandwiched between the Nandou Kingdom and the North Wind Kingdom, and had always been a buffer zone for the two countries to fight.

Because the King of Liangzhu only had Soul Transformation cultivation, the Nandou Kingdom and the North Wind Kingdom had always had a great influence on the Liangzhu Kingdom.

"Many forces in the north of the Liangzhu Kingdom are secretly funded by the North Wind Kingdom and have an indirect influence on the court of the Liangzhu Kingdom."

"And at the southernmost tip of the Liangzhu Kingdom, it is the Thousand Peak Forest. For a long time, this mountain forest has been in a state of many mountain heads and many forces. This is exactly the situation our country wants."
