Ning Jufan’s residence, the secret room.

On the bed, lay an old Fire-Melting Demon Ape.

Ning Jufan half-sat on the edge of the bed, holding the medicine bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, scooping out the thick potion one spoonful at a time for the demon ape to drink.

"Come, Grandma Yuan, drink these medicines and your injuries will heal faster." Ning Jiufan said with a smile and a gentle tone.

This Fire-Melting Demon Ape was the Nascent Soul-level one that had many disputes with Ning Jiufan and was rescued by Ning Jiufan in the Lava Fairy Palace.

The female ape opened her mouth slightly and allowed Ning to pour the potion into her mouth.

As a monster, it had a strong survival instinct. After knowing that the potion was beneficial to it, it never refused it.

The female ape revealed complicated emotions when she saw Ning Rusu's gaze.

On the one hand, it was grateful to Ning Jiufan, after all, the latter saved its life. On the other hand, it was also angry that Ning Jiufan took advantage of its weakness and used his official skills and magic weapons to force it to become a slave.

Finally, there was a lot of affection in the mother ape's eyes.

It has had many partners in its life, but Ning Jufan brought it the most novel and unique experience, which left a deep impression on it.

Especially during the recent period of bedridden recuperation, it received Ning Jiufan's gentle and meticulous care.

This is a taste it has never tasted in its life.

In the world of monsters, there is cruel competition, tyranny and ruthlessness.

Before recovering from the injury, it had never thought that it could be treated like this! It turns out that life can be lived like this.

The mother ape's morale is very weak.

It was already very old and its life span was coming to an end.

It felt it was lucky to meet Ning Jiusuan at the last moment of its life.

If it were young or strong, and was controlled by a Jindan-level life form, it would definitely resist and would never surrender.

But now, it is very old and has little energy left.

It indulged in the gentle paradise woven by Ning Jufan, enjoying the last beautiful time of its life.

Ning finished feeding the medicine, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of the mother ape's mouth.

He said, "Grandma Yuan, I know you don't have much time left."

"But I don't want you to die, I want you to live!"

At this point, he held the female ape's hand and said, "I know that you resent me in your heart and hate that I took control of you, using my skills and magic weapons to make it impossible for you to resist."

"I admit that I have selfish motives, because I want you to stay by my side!"

"I have been healing your wounds these days. You should know my sincerity."

"But the effect of this potion is getting less and less effective. I need to find a better medicine to heal you. Many days ago, I sent family members to the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines to find medicine for you."

"Today, I received the letter from this tribe member."

"There is indeed good medicine there to treat your injuries. Will you come with me?"

The Fire Rong female ape had reached the Nascent Soul stage and was quite intelligent. Ning surrendered and used his spiritual consciousness to communicate, without any language barriers.

When Grandma Yuan heard that there was a better medicine, her eyes began to light up.

After Ning Jufan finished speaking, it nodded impatiently and agreed.

"That's good. I know you want to be with me too, right?" Ning Jiufan felt very happy.

The best case scenario would be to persuade Grandma Yuan to take the initiative.

It is not impossible to use official techniques and magic weapons to force them, but doing so would be too harsh.

On this point, Ning Jusu actually coincides with Ning Zhuo's idea, which is not to force but to be gentle with emotion.

After successfully convincing Grandma Yuan, Ning Shufan entered the Lava Fairy Palace, met Meng Kui, and reported the matter to him.

Meng Kui knew that the Ning family had the support of the Nandou royal family, so even though he was unwilling, he couldn't force it. After all, Ning Jiufan was not his subordinate.

Meng Kui had no choice but to urge Ning to obey and come back quickly.

It would be best to wait until the trap is set before returning to Huoshi Mountain. After all, one more person means one more chance of success.

Ning Jufan knew that the person Meng Kui wanted to rely on was not him, but Yuan Lao.

It was precisely because of this that Ning became even more determined to surrender and go to Wanyaomen.

Because the war was imminent and Yuan Lao had not fully recovered. If he stayed in Huoshi Xiancheng, he could not just sit back and watch the capture of the ten thousand year old fire spirit.

This is because the Ten Thousand Years Fire Essence threatens the safety of the entire Fire Persimmon Immortal City. As a member of the city and a Golden Core cultivator, Ning Shufu has to shoulder the responsibility of a righteous strongman. After all, the Ning family lives here.

Ning Jufan was worried that this time he might be tricked by Meng Kui and get Yuan Lao involved.

He was able to control the Yuanying-level Fire-Melting Demon Ape because he was supported by the Zhu family. The Ning family was now the main force to contain the Meng family.

If Meng Kui were to plot against Grandma Yuan and kill her in this battle, the Ning family would suffer a great loss! Therefore, he needed to adjust Grandma Yuan's condition to the best possible level.

"Wan Yao Men is indeed a good place to heal injuries. I didn't expect that I could run so fast."

"He seems to be doing well there."

"This brat..."

Ning Jufan secretly took Yuan Lao with him and quietly left Huoshi Mountain and headed straight towards Wanyaomen.

He is quite familiar with Wanyaomen.

Back then, the Ning family's large migrating army left the Ten Thousand Demons Cave and entered the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley directly through the underground river.

This is almost impossible in other sects, but Wanyao Sect did it.

From this point of view, Wanyaomen once provided a lot of important and critical help to the Ning family.

Therefore, Ning Jufan tended to agree with the idea of ​​cooperation between the Ning family and Wanyaomen mentioned in Ning Zhuo's letter.

Ning Jufan still has a lot of good feelings towards Wanyaomen.

Just as he and the demon ape left quietly, a cultivator staggered into the Fire Persimmon Immortal City.

His name is Liu Zhen, and he is Lin Shanshan’s sixth senior brother.

This time, he was sent by Lin Bufan, the leader of Wanyao Sect, to gather information about Ning Zhuo.

At noon, Liu Zhen was staggering and in a very bad state. His vision was blurry, he felt dizzy, and his lower limbs were weak, so he had to walk with the help of the wall.

He couldn't see the road clearly, his hands found nothing to hold on to, and he fell down, fainting on the spot.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Oh, someone has fallen at the gate of our courtyard." The servant guarding the gate exclaimed when he saw this.

"Could it be some beggar who came here to extort money from us?"

"What nonsense! This is the property of the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Quick, give me a hand, this monk is almost dead. Let Master Sun take a look!"

Not long after.

Liu Zhen, who had fainted, slowly woke up.

His vision gradually became clearer, and he found himself lying on a sickbed. A monk beside him was stimulating the aroma of medicine, letting the aroma penetrate into his nostrils.

"Doctor, thank you for saving my life..." Liu Zhen started to speak with difficulty, but was interrupted.

"I know that your last name is Liu Zhen, and you are from the Wanyao Sect." The monk who treated him said, "You fainted in front of my courtyard gate, and it was the servants who carried you in. I found the token and other valuables on you."

"Therefore, I know your identity."

"Please don't blame me. I am an alchemist, and curing diseases is a side job. I always have to collect as much information as possible so that I can prescribe the right medicine for the disease."

Liu Zhen smiled and said, "Master, please don't worry. Since I was born in the Wanyao Sect, I naturally know these...principles."

His face was pale, without a trace of blood, he was almost as thin as a skeleton, and his life force was very weak.

The alchemist who treated him introduced himself: "My last name is Sun Lie, and I'm temporarily staying at Ziyang Villa. It's fate that you fell in front of my door."

"I see that your qi and blood are extremely weak. You are dizzy, have tinnitus, are exhausted, have fever in your five parts, and have night sweats. You are also afraid of the cold and have cold limbs."

"The face is as pale as paper, the spirit is extremely depressed, the appetite is poor, the tongue is pale with white coating, and the pulse is deep, thin and weak."

"This is obviously a deficiency of kidney essence!"

"Your eye bags are purple and black, your nails and teeth have black lines, and you are cold and ghostly."

"You encountered a female ghost who was seeking blood and yang energy, right?"

Liu Zhen nodded: "Master Sun has a keen eye, that's right. That female ghost seduced me for seven days and seven nights, and she was extremely aggressive towards me. I have already made a mortal enemy."

"At this critical moment, I was lucky to have the protective amulet given by my master, which helped me to escape from the clutches of the female ghost."

Speaking of this, Liu Zhen's face was filled with lingering fear.

If he had not been delayed by the female ghost, he would have arrived at the Fire Persimmon Fairy City long ago.

Sun Lie nodded: "It seems that my diagnosis is correct. You should rest well and take my Bawei Dihuang Pills. You will recover soon."

"It's just that your essence is seriously depleted. You need a good pill or long-term care to replenish it."

Liu Zhen: "I know. When I complete my mission as a disciple, I will return to Wan Yao Valley and ask Master for help. He will definitely help me out of my predicament."

"Master Sun, I will definitely reward you for saving my life this time!"

Sun Lie nodded and said, "I have heard of Wanyao Valley for a long time. I just want to leave Huoshi Xiancheng and continue my travels. The next stop will be there."

In fact, Sun Lie didn't really want to leave.

But recently, he found out a secret that the City Lord's Mansion and Luo Shang had been secretly cooperating for some time.

This made Sun Lie feel uneasy.

At the beginning, Han Ming's matter caused him to have conflicts with the Soul Devouring Sect. Sun Lie didn't dare to gamble on Luo Shang's attitude towards him.

Since the City Lord's Mansion in Huoshi Xiancheng also seems unreliable, Sun Lie's desire to leave becomes stronger.

These days, he was packing up and preparing to leave the city, but Liu Zhen took the initiative to "come" to his door.

Hearing Sun Lie's plan, Liu Zhen immediately showed joy: "This is great, why don't you come back with me, Master?"

"Okay." Sun Lie nodded, gave Liu Zhen some pills and taught him how to take them.

Liu Zhen came from Wanyaomen and was also familiar with medicine and alchemy. He asked Sun Lie many questions and remembered them all.

In this way, Liu Zhen temporarily stayed in Ziyang Villa.

Three days later, Liu Zhen had recovered enough to walk on her own without the support of a wall.

He looked in the mirror and saw that his hair was all white and his face looked old. He no longer had the black hair and vitality he had before, which made him hate the female ghost even more.

Liu Zhen began to work on completing his master's mission.
