Along the way, the disciples tried to probe him several times in an indirect way.
Ning Zhuo spoke frankly and told the other party that he was from Huoshi Fairy City and came here to seek advice and learn from others, but he didn't know the way and met Lin Shanshan by chance and got her help.
The disciple felt that he had found out Ning Zhuo's background, and his tone became relaxed and his attitude became casual.
During the communication, Ning Zhuo was "surprised" to discover Lin Shanshan's true identity.
The disciples teased him, "You are lucky! Senior Sister Lin is always willing to help others and often brings outsiders here."
"With such a school tradition, Wanyaomen is worthy of its reputation!" Ning Zhuo exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
The disciple laughed loudly, and before leaving, he still reminded Ning Zhuo: "You just arrived, and you have been given a cave with a number of more than 200. Be careful. According to the rules of our Wanyao Sect, if you are picked by someone, you will lose the right to live in this cave."
"Of course, if you are confident in your own strength, you can also try to challenge the caves ahead."
Ning Zhuo said, "I'll stay here first and see what's going on."
As he spoke, he took out ten spirit stones and stuffed them into the hands of his disciples.
“Just ten low-grade spirit stones…” The disciple was disdainful in his heart, but still accepted them expressionlessly.
The scene of Ning Zhuo giving Lin Shanshan two orchids of the mist was still vivid in people's minds, and the disciples' acceptance of this small gift was greatly increased.
"You stay here well." The servant finally said perfunctorily and left without looking back.
When the disciples reached halfway up the mountain, a man appeared from the woods.
The visitor had a fair complexion and was very wealthy. He had a smile on his face. He first bowed to the disciple, and then, as soon as he opened his hand, he stuffed a medium-grade spirit stone into the disciple's hand.
The disciple took the middle-grade spirit stone and stuffed it into his storage belt naturally. He was quite satisfied and said directly: "Li Jingqing, you are well-informed! I know what you want to ask."
"You are unlucky. The cave you have been eyeing has been occupied by someone else."
The wealthy middle-aged male cultivator rubbed his hands together and said, "So, I just want to ask you who this person who occupies my cave is. I found out that he was brought here by Senior Sister Lin herself."
The disciple nodded slightly: "That's right, don't make things more complicated."
The wealthy male cultivator Li Jingqing shook his head: "Cultivation is all about competition. This is a small competition peak, it's too early for me to retreat now."
"From what I know, Senior Sister Lin is warm and friendly to the people, and has brought many outsiders to Xiaozheng Peak."
"So, this Ning Zhuo might not be in this situation either."
The disciple nodded again: "Since you have realized it, then..."
"For the sake of the spirit stone, I will tell you the details."
"This Ning Zhuo really has nothing to do with Senior Sister Lin. This is the first time they have met."
"However, when Senior Sister Lin brought people here in the past, they always came and left in a hurry. This time, she took the initiative to ask about it and was not satisfied with the cave I arranged for Ning Zhuo the first time."
"I know you have been planning to build a cave for a long time, and I also want to leave some for you."
"But unfortunately, I can't stop Senior Sister Lin, so I can only use this cave to get the job done."
"So that's how it is. What a pity, what a sigh!" Li Jingqing had a look of regret on his face. When he said goodbye to his disciples, he forced a smile and gave them another medium-grade spirit stone.
When he was alone, his face was gloomy.
Wanyao Valley has unique geographical advantages and contains extremely rich spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy permeates Xiaozheng Peak, so that every cave on the mountain has abundant spiritual energy, which can provide considerable auxiliary effects to the cultivators.
Not only that, the closer the cave number is to the front, the more generous benefits will be distributed by Wanyaomen every once in a while.
Li Jingqing is a businessman who buys goods from Wanyaomen all year round and sells herbs, pills, etc. to other places.
The higher the serial number, the more he can communicate with the Wanyao Sect and purchase goods at a lower price. The difference in the spiritual stone interests involved is huge.
Therefore, even after hearing that Ning Zhuo was brought by Lin Shanshan, Li Jingqing did not want to let him go easily.
He left alone, deciding to make plans before taking action.
He first tried his best to find out information about Ning Zhuo, but after several days, he gained very little.
This is because after Ning Zhuo moved into the cave, he seldom went out. Even if someone from the cave next door came to visit him, he was turned away.
Li Jingqing saw that the next batch of herbs was about to mature and time to sell. He knew he could not delay any longer, so he took the initiative.
His cave is ranked after Ning Zhuo in order of number. According to the rules, Li Jingqing has the right to challenge Ning Zhuo.
However, he did not do so, but went to find someone to help.
He had already selected many candidates, and when he took action this time, he directly chose the one he was most confident of convincing.
Cold Continent!
It turns out that Mt.
The master's residence.
study.
Lin Shanshan knocked on the door, brought some tea and snacks and placed them on her father's table.
"Dad, you've been busy with sect affairs and haven't slept all night. Why don't you have some refreshments first to relax."
Lin Bufan was a middle-aged man, thin and with a long beard that hung down to his chest. He leaned back in his chair, raised his head, and sighed, "There's nothing I can do. In a few days, that patch of herbs will have to be harvested."
"This is the foundation of our Wanyao Sect. Since my father took office, I have always been in charge of this link and have never asked anyone to do it for me. Do you know why?"
Lin Shanshan smiled: "Dad, you are testing me, but this time it won't be difficult for me. I once heard from my senior brother that before you took over, corruption was extremely serious in the sect. Especially in this kind of link, even the most reputable elders will be corrupted if they continue to control it for a long time."
"So, you guard this floor yourself."
"When the eldest senior brother said this, he also praised you, Dad, for being wise and brave, doing things yourself, and being serious and responsible."
Lin Bufan snorted coldly: "As a master, how could I not know Jiu'er's temper and personality?"
"He is a lazy man who loves drinking so much that he would never say such a thing."
"You want to plead for him?"
"No thanks!"
"This time, there is no way he can be released unless he is punished for a sufficient period of time."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Lin Shanshan was so frightened by her father's harsh words that she stuck out her tongue and dared not talk about Linghu wine anymore.
She saw a new batch of jade slips on the bookshelf and said, "Dad, you eat first. I'll show you some videos you like."
Lin Bufan nodded slightly and started eating.
Lin Shanshan took out a jade slip and a mechanical device from the bookshelf.
She placed three jade slips in the mechanical creation, and then activated her magic power to open it.
The next moment, all kinds of mud and sand flew out of the mechanical creation.
The mud and sand quickly condensed in the air to form a thin mountain battlefield. On the battlefield, two more mud and sand colored people began to fight.
The two clay figures perfectly reproduced a battle that had already passed.
Lin Bufan watched the battle while eating tea and snacks with great interest. This was the only time for him to rest in his busy schedule.
He makes comments from time to time.
"Although Zheng Xingchen was born into a cultivation family, he practices magic. He is ruthless and cruel, which complements his magic, so he wins every battle."
"Luo Xiao's mechanical armor has been tested in actual combat and can now handle a wide variety of opponents. This is very different from when he first arrived."
"Hanzhou... This beggar has no name or surname, and is only referred to by the place where he came from. The skills he obtained through his chance encounter are very special. On the surface, they are physical and martial arts skills, but at their core, they are similar to Buddhist skills, emphasizing spiritual connotation and enlightenment in the secular world."
"Lai Wuying's sword is getting faster and faster. If you are not a cultivator in the top ten caves, you basically can't survive his first three swords."
"Oh? Chang Yan, the snake demon, has improved his earth magic again. In the past, he would have been defeated, but this time, he narrowly won."
The leader of Wanyao Sect watched with great interest.
Lin Shanshan said: "Dad, you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, why are you always so interested in watching these Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting each other?"
"Shouldn't watching this be like watching a fight between two children? It's boring, isn't it?"
The Wanyao Sect leader shook his head, his face solemn: "Shanshan, you don't understand this."
"When monks fight, if we only talk about their cultivation, it would be too biased. We must know that tactics, fighting will, spellcasting skills, etc. are all carried out throughout the monk's life from beginning to end."
"These things are universal even for those above the Nascent Soul stage, and are extremely valuable."
"Of course. Your father is known as a battle fanatic. I really like watching battles. Hahaha! This is your father's only hobby."
Lin Shanshan sighed: "Dad, you love to watch the game, and senior brother is addicted to drinking. You two really deserve to be a pair of master and apprentice."
This time, the leader of the Wanyao Sect restrained his smile, but did not blame Lin Shanshan: "Little girl, you are trying to find ways to plead for your senior brother again."
Just then, the subordinate came to report.
There was another pile of jade slips on the desk of the Wanyao Sect leader, which needed him to deal with.
The leader of the Wanyao Sect sighed. He didn't feel tired physically, but he was close to his limit mentally.
He had just watched the game, relaxed and rested, which made him feel his mental fatigue even more deeply.
"Let me see first, what exciting duels will there be in the next small competition?"
"Hmm...Luo Xiao challenged Zheng Xingchen again?"
"Lai Wuying performed very strongly in this round, so no one will challenge him in the next round."
"Hanzhou challenges Ning Zhuo... Ning Zhuo?"
This unfamiliar name surprised the leader of Wanyao Sect a little.
Lin Shanshan exclaimed, looking surprised.
The leader of the Wanyao Sect turned his head and looked at his beloved daughter: "Shanshan, do you know this Ning Zhuo?"
"Dad, this is what happened." Lin Shanshan explained the whole story and was worried about Ning Zhuo. "Han Zhou is one of the strongest people in Xiaozheng Peak. Ning Zhuo is in danger if he challenges him right from the start."
The leader of Wanyao Sect looked at his beloved daughter, stroked his long beard, and was slightly surprised. It was the first time he saw Lin Shanshan so concerned about someone she had just met.
