Chapter 400 Finger-guessing game (two in one)



Great competition peak.

In the back mountain, inside the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

Ning Zhuo stood up, staggered, and bowed to express his sincere gratitude to Linghu Jiu.

"I have this opportunity this time, all thanks to Brother Linghu. I will keep this kindness in my heart and never forget it!"

"The Five Internal Organs Temple Spiritual Skills"! The entire skill has reached the level of refining emptiness. It can be seen that the Five Elements God Lord is at the same level as the Three Sects Master.

Although the Three Sects Supreme Method that Ning Zhuo practiced came from the Three Sects Supreme Master, it was only at the foundation-building level. However, the entire "Five Internal Organs Temple Spiritual Skills" was already acquired by Ning Zhuo.

This profit is extremely amazing!

Linghu Jiu shook his head and smiled: "My role is very small, this is your chance. You should know that to obtain the inheritance of the sages, you must enter the eyes of a certain sage. If they don't like you, they will never teach you anything."

"Ning Zhuo, you have been able to receive the inheritance for a long time, which shows that the sage who taught you the skills is very fond of you. This is one reason."

"Secondly, if you don't have the ability to comprehend, the sages will stop passing on the knowledge to you if they think you can't understand it after teaching you a part of it."

"So, everything you have gained is based on your own strength. The role I played is far less significant than you think."

At this point, Linghu Jiu looked at the two empty wine jars and said with emotion: "When I obtained the Lonely Sword Scripture, I only spent one jar of Yousi Ming Brew."

"The skill you have obtained is priceless. Congratulations. Have you ever considered retraining?"

Ning Zhuo shook his head.

The magic of the Five Internal Organs Temple is an ancient method. Ning Zhuo has never heard of the person who is the Lord of the Five Elements.

You should know that Ning Zhuo is well-read and has some understanding of the talented people and sages of his time and previous generations.

Ning Zhuo was sure that he had never seen the title of Five Elements God Lord before. This meant that this person must be a figure from an even earlier period.

Ning Zhuo said bluntly: "The technique I mainly practiced came from Lava Fairy Palace and originated from the masters of the three sects. It is not inferior to this technique in terms of quality."

"I am interested in mechanical engineering, and the Three Sects' Methods are particularly suitable for me."

"And the new technique I have acquired is an ancient one, and its style and modern usage are very different. The spiritual energy in ancient times was thin, but in modern times it is very abundant. The ancient techniques are probably inferior to the modern ones."

One issue here is adapting to the environment, and the other is that the skills in the world of cultivation are passed down in an orderly manner and are constantly being innovated.

Even if the sect was destroyed and the whole family was slaughtered, the underworld was still controlled by the ancestors. Once the descendants with rare bloodline performed sacrifices, they would most likely be able to receive the skills passed down by the ancestors.

Of course, the three sects' methods also have flaws. That is, Ning Zhuo only knows the two parts of foundation building and Qi refining, and the subsequent content of the skills has to be obtained in the Lava Fairy Palace.

In addition, the quality of the Three Sects’ superior methods may not necessarily reach the Refining Void level. Although this was created by the Three Sects’ superiors, not all the techniques created by the Three Sects’ superiors at the Refining Void level may reach the Refining Void level.

However, the Five Internal Organs Temple Divine Art only cultivates the Qi Sea, while the Three Sects' Supreme Methods cultivate all three Dantians. From this point of view alone, it has already greatly surpassed others.

"I will use this technique as a reference. It will be very helpful for me to practice the Three Sects' Supreme Techniques in the future."

Ning Zhuo told Linghu Jiu: "This skill is called 'Five Internal Organs Temple Spirit Skill', which originated from the ancient sage Five Elements God. Brother Linghu, why don't we study it together."

Then, Ning Zhuo explained the content of the opening of the technique.

Linghu Jiu quickly extended his hand and refused, "Wait, Master Ning Zhuo, this is your opportunity, not mine."

"The Dharma should not be passed on lightly!"

"This technique explores the mysteries of the five elements and is not suitable for me."

"I've already said that I only gave some Yousi Ming Brew. I don't deserve such a generous gift!"

Ning Zhuo was stunned: "This..."

Lin Bufan's Nascent Soul consciousness was fluctuating violently: "Confused! Jiu'er is confused."

"In the past, the Five Elements God Lord traveled across the world, controlling the five elements like a king of heaven. This is the technique he mainly practices. Even though it is ancient, it contains the profound principles of the five elements."

"It still has great value today. In my sect, it is the heritage of the sect!"

Lin Bufan couldn't help but become impatient.

His spiritual consciousness spread to Dazheng Peak, and he saw his eldest disciple at first sight, pouring the wine of Yousi Mingjiu to Ning Zhuo, an outsider.

Ning Zhuo was not shy either, drinking tons and tons, and he was so happy! Lin Bufan's eyes turned black when he saw this.

Then, he saw Ning Zhuo wanted to share his magical skills, but was directly rejected by Linghu Jiu. He was so angry that he wanted to run to Dazheng Peak and hang up his eldest disciple and beat him hard.

"Who told you to be so noble? Did I teach you this?!"

Lin Bufan locked onto Ning Zhuo, still feeling hopeful.

As a result, Ning Zhuo loudly praised Linghu Jiu's elegant demeanor and never mentioned sharing his magical skills again.

Lin Bufan's eyes twitched: "Ning Zhuo, this brat, is really too ignorant."

"The Dark Brew is fine, but the Five Organs and Temples Spiritual Art..."

"I took advantage of the situation and asked Ning Zhuo to meet Jiu'er, but I didn't expect to be treated so well! What's going on?"

Ning Zhuo also knew that he had gained a great advantage this time.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "With Lin Shanshan in front and Linghu Jiu in the back, Wanyao Valley is such a good place, it's really my blessed land."

He never expected that there would be such a huge harvest! Originally, Ning Zhuo just wanted to meet Linghu Jiu and test the future leader of Wanyao Sect.

Finally, his chance came.

"Oh, once the opportunity comes, it is really unstoppable."

Ning Zhuo wanted to retreat immediately to study his new magical skill. But if he left now, the situation would be too embarrassing.

Ning Zhuo suppressed himself, took out the ice jade wine, filled Linghu's glass, and filled his own glass as well.

He sat down, showed respect to Linghu Jiu, and actively communicated with him. He wanted to find out what Linghu Jiu needed and see if he could satisfy it so that he could repay this great favor.

Linghu Jiu said frankly that he loved fine wine. If Ning Zhuo had the chance to find some fine wine to give to him in the future, that would be great.

Ning Zhuo said that he would keep this in mind and treat Linghu Jiu to a drink of Bingyu wine today.

"If it really doesn't work, let my ancestor make some more. I just returned the Ice Heart Jade Pot to him."

Ning Zhuo's casual attitude towards Ning Jiushun made Linghu Jiu quite curious.

He immediately sighed: "Mr. Ning Zhuo has such a close relationship with his own Jindan Patriarch. It is really enviable."

Ning Zhuo was drunk and had just received great help from Linghu Jiu, which enabled him to successfully obtain the complete set of divine skills. All of this made Ning Zhuo speak the truth: "Although I lost my parents when I was young, was criticized by others, and was treated poorly by my family, I have my mother's legacy and have made great progress with the help of Lava Fairy Palace."

"Don't look at me as I'm only at the foundation-building stage. In terms of combat power alone, ordinary golden elixirs can defeat me."

"My ancestor is no match for me."

"Of course, that was in the past. Now that he has Grandma Yuan by his side, he is completely stronger than me!"

Ning Zhuo's cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but his real combat power has already surpassed his own cultivation level and reached the Golden Core Stage.

Linghu Jiu looked surprised, but not much.

Because, he was only at the foundation-building stage, but he also possessed the combat power of the Golden Core level! Ning Zhuo continued: "However, the ancestor Ning Jiufan did treat me well. I also got his support in establishing the branch family."

“He admires me!”

"Among all the younger generations of the Ning family, I am the only one who has made a name for myself. It's no surprise that he treats me this way."

"In the future, when the ancestors pass away, I will have to inherit this huge family business."

"Hmph! How can we manage the family well if we live with those insects in the main vein? Splitting up the family is just my first step. Next, I will work hard to manage it and swallow up the main vein in the future."

"By then, I will be the main branch, and this is the Ning family!"

Ning Zhuo rarely showed his scheming and valor.

Linghu Jiu raised his wine bowl and laughed loudly, "Mr. Ning Zhuo, you are so heroic, I toast you a bowl!"

The two finished a bowl, and Ning Zhuo looked at Linghu Jiu: "To be honest, Brother Linghu, I envy you. I can only start from scratch, but you have a Yuanying-level master who loves you like a son, and you will inherit the great foundation of Wanyaomen in the future."

Linghu Jiu smiled bitterly: "I have long known what Master expects of me, but I am lazy by nature. Taking care of these fellow apprentices has exhausted me. What I really want is to live a life of leisure."

Ning Zhuo immediately shook his head: "How can this be possible? Any kind of cultivation requires the consumption of energy. The higher the level of cultivation, the more energy is consumed."

"Brother Linghu, if you want to live a life of ease and leisure, you must have strong strength to guarantee it. Otherwise, a demon cultivator with a slightly higher level of cultivation can make you live a life worse than death."

"If you want to be powerful, you must have a continuous supply of spiritual practice resources. Just because you want to live a carefree life, you must run the Wanyao Sect well."

Linghu Jiu let out a light exclamation and looked at Ning Zhuo with a burning gaze.

Ning Zhuo's face flushed, and he stared with his drunken eyes: "What's the matter?"

Linghu Jiu pointed at Ning Zhuo and laughed: "Mr. Ning Zhuo, you are honest by nature. After drinking so much wine, I find you more adorable."

Ning Zhuo was silent for a moment, trying to smooth out his words: "Brother Linghu, we hit it off right away. You've helped me so much, and it's a great help! How can I not repay you?"

"But now, my family is poor, and I have several valuable treasures that are extremely important. I cannot give them back to you, brother. I can only keep them in mind and plan to repay you later."

"So, after hearing what you just said, I was anxious and wanted to persuade you, but my words were a little..."

Linghu Jiu waved his hand to stop Ning Zhuo from apologizing: "Boring, Master Ning Zhuo has become boring again."

Having said that, Linghu Jiu couldn't stop admiring Ning Zhuo.

Even though Linghu Jiu knew very well that the young man opposite him had an unclear relationship with his junior sister, he did not become hostile to Ning Zhuo because of his personal feelings.

He has his own vision and can look at Ning Zhuo correctly, knowing that the young man in front of him is indeed outstanding.

Not just past achievements, but also nature.

Ning Zhuo heard Linghu Jiu's boring comment and decisively changed the subject: "Drinking like this is indeed boring. Brother Linghu, do you know how to play drinking games? Do you know how to play rock-paper-scissors?"

Linghu Jiu: "I've heard of it, and I've seen something strange, it seems to be a game."

Ning Zhuo was surprised: "Brother is a hero among wine lovers, but you can't even play rock-paper-scissors?"

Linghu Jiu smiled, with a bitter look on his face, and complained to Ning Zhuo, saying that he was addicted to alcohol and had long been a negative example. He was often criticized and punished with confinement. Under such circumstances, who would dare to drink with him?

Moreover, he usually has to act like the eldest senior brother so that he can teach his younger brothers and sisters.

There is not a single true confidant or drinking buddy in the sect.

But when he was left outside the sect, Linghu Jiu had a special identity and was afraid that he would behave inappropriately and bring trouble to his master and the sect, and be looked down upon by others.

"I see." Ning Zhuo's eyes lit up. "It is my honor to drink with Brother Linghu like this."

"Brother, please don't call me Young Master anymore. Just call me by my name."

Linghu Jiu: "Hahaha, I won't be polite."

As he spoke, he bowed and said, "Brother Ning Zhuo."

Ning Zhuo returned the greeting with a high tone: "Brother Linghu!"

The two changed their names and their relationship became closer.

Both parties were very happy and couldn't help but pick up their bowls, and after colliding with each other, they drank it directly.

Lin Bufan: ...

Linghu Jiu put down his wine bowl, and Ning Zhuo immediately filled it with ice jade wine.

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

Ning Zhuo poured the wine and said, "Since you don't know how to play rock-paper-scissors, I might as well teach you."

"It's actually very simple. You and I both extend our hands at the same time and make gestures to represent the six numbers from zero to five. At the same time, we speak and guess the sum of the numbers represented by our gestures."

"Whoever guesses correctly wins. The loser has to drink a glass of wine as a penalty."

Linghu Jiu was surprised: "Huh? Then isn't this kind of punishment a reward?"

Ning Zhu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Lin Bufan became even more speechless when he saw his eldest disciple attentively learning the game of finger-guessing.

Soon, Xiaoju hurried to the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

She shoulders the heavy responsibility given to her by Lin Shanshan, which is to look after Ning Zhuo and Linghu Jiu and prevent them from fighting to the point of intensifying conflicts with red faces.

As a result, she heard the sound of finger-guessing games before she even entered the cave.

"Six, six, six. Who drinks first?"

"Who's going to drink first, Five Leaders?"

"Hahaha, I lost." Linghu Jiu picked up the wine bowl and drank it all. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Keep going."

"Six six six (four fortunes)!"

"Seven Pieces of Joy (Nine Links)!"

Ning Zhuo suddenly widened his eyes.

He lost.

Linghu Jiu laughed loudly, raised his arms and shouted: "Drink, drink quickly."

Ning Zhuo drank the whole bowl.

Xiaoju stood at the entrance of the cave. Seeing this scene, her face was full of disbelief. Her mouth opened wide and she was almost shocked.

"What's going on?"

"Although Master Ning Zhuo and the eldest senior brother were fighting fiercely and their faces were red, there didn't seem to be any conflict between them."

"How come the two of them get along so well?"

Xiaoju felt unbelievable, this was completely different from what she had expected.

"Someone is coming." Ning Zhuo's spiritual sense spread out, and he already knew about Xiaoju's arrival.

The two asked Xiaoju to come in and report. Upon learning of Lin Shanshan's concerns, Linghu Jiu and Ning Zhuo smiled at each other.

Linghu Jiu waved his hand: "Junior sister, you are worrying too much. Go, go."

Xiaoju didn't dare to leave, still remembering Lin Shanshan's instructions. She was worried that if she left now, the two of them might have a conflict later, which would be bad.

Then he said, "How about letting Xiaoju pour wine for the two adults?"

Linghu Jiu thought for a moment and immediately understood Xiaoju's thoughts: "Forget it, you can pour the wine."

He and Ning Zhuo started "fighting" again.

At first, the two just sat on the stone bench. Gradually, they stood up. Linghu Jiu rolled up his sleeves and put one foot on the stone bench. Every time he played finger-guessing, he would shout loudly.

Ning Zhuo supported the stone table with one hand, leaned forward, and launched a "strong attack" on Linghu Jiu every time.

The two men drank three jars of wine in a row and could no longer stand. They sat on the stone table, arms around each other, and shaking their heads.

Linghu Jiu was in great spirits and started singing folk songs.

After listening to a few passages, Ning Zhuo learned how to sing and started to join in.

"Hahaha!" The two laughed at each other, both drunk.

Linghu Jiu, with his hair disheveled, ran madly around in the cave like a monkey. His long sleeves fluttered as fast as the wind, looking extremely cool and unrestrained.

Ning Zhuo sat upright on the ground, with his head lowered and shoulders shrugged, remaining silent.

Linghu Jiu suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky outside the cave, and recited a poem.

Ning Zhuo immediately responded with a poem!

Linghu Jiu clapped his hands and praised: "Mr. Ning Zhuo, you are a man of great talent."

Ning Zhuo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What kind of young master am I? Compared to me, you are the young master."

"Master Linghu!"

He bowed and saluted in a rather funny way.

Linghu Jiu raised his head and nodded, and said, "Mr. Ning Zhuo."

Ning Zhuo was already feeling dizzy: "I'm just a little thief."

After he finished talking and laughing, he could no longer hold on, fell to the ground, and fell into a deep sleep.

Linghu Jiu shook his head: "Ning Zhuo, you little thief, what did you steal? Did you steal my junior sister's heart?"

Xiaoju was shocked and immediately looked at Linghu Jiu.

Linghu Jiu leaned against the mountain wall and slowly sat down on the ground. He looked at the sky outside the cave, a melancholy expression on his face.

He hummed a folk song softly and fell into a deep sleep.

Xiaoju:?!

After being stunned for a moment, she let out a long sigh of relief.

The two did not fight in the end, they just drank and played finger-guessing games.

Xiaoju started to act.

She came here to take care of Ning Zhuo and Linghu Jiu.

She dragged both of them onto the stone bed, and stood by the bed, serving them continuously.

Ning Zhuo and Linghu Jiu slept with their feet touching each other for a whole day and night.

The next morning, Linghu Jiu woke up first. He saw Ning Zhuo while still sleepy and laughed out loud, his voice hoarse.

When he saw Xiaoju again, he thanked her.

Xiaoju quickly said that she wanted to thank Lin Shanshan, as she came here on orders.

At noon the next day, Ning Zhuo also woke up. He had an enthusiastic conversation with Linghu Jiu for a while before they said goodbye reluctantly.

He returned to the cave in Xiaozheng Peak and immediately began to copy the "Five Organs and Temples Divine Art".

Soon, the whole article was written down.

Ning Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief, glad that he didn't get drunk and mess up things! "It seems that after drinking the Yousi Ming Brew, the things that the ancestors taught me are deeply engraved in my heart and will not be easily forgotten."

"Boss, come and help me take a look at this magical skill!"

Sun Lingtong came out of the mechanical dragon, took the jade slip, and muttered: "What does Yousi Mingniang taste like? Xiaozhuo, you didn't leave any for me, so I can have a taste too!"

Ning Zhuo smiled awkwardly: "Next time I go to ask for it, Brother Linghu will definitely give me some, considering his character."

"I plan to give the special-grade cloud tea in the storage cabin to Linghu Jiu. What do you think, Boss?"

Sun Lingtong shrugged: "It's up to you."

His expression gradually became solemn. "What a great technique! The Five Internal Organs Temple Spirit Technique is definitely a top-notch technique. Your branch family now has a technique to protect the family. It is several levels higher than the Ice Heart Technique of the main branch."

"It's a pity you can't fix it."

"Speaking of which, Xiaozhuo, your five elements spiritual roots are all balanced, so practicing this kind of five elements technique is very suitable for you. Perhaps, this is also an important reason why you are favored by the Five Elements Lord."

Ning Zhuo said, "Boss, you study first. I will go to Lingyin willow tree to meditate and see how much I can learn from the Five Zangmiao Spiritual Skills."

Ning Zhuo came to the spirit plant cabin and chatted with Lingyin Liuxu for a while, and his mood completely calmed down.

He sat cross-legged under the tree and began to meditate.

Suddenly, he "met" the Five Elements God again.

"Lingyin Willow?" The Five Elements Divine Lord smiled at Ning Zhuo, "Young man, you don't even want to practice my magic skills, but are still attached to old things. Lingyin Willow? It is indeed a precious plant."

"Look carefully, this is the Dao and principle of the Five Elements!"

"Alas, it's too early for you. Just learn as much as you can."

For a time, Ning Zhuo once again received teachings from the Five Elements God.

The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao! He closed his eyes tightly, frowned deeply, his body was shaky, blood was flowing from all his orifices, his head was burning, and white smoke rose from his sweat.

The branches of the Lingyin Willow quickly shriveled up at a terrifying speed, and countless willow leaves fell off and scattered, looking so miserable.
