Dazheng Peak and the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

"Hahaha, my dear brother is here!" Linghu Jiu laughed, walked out of the cave, took Ning Zhuo's arm, and entered the cave.

After the negotiations, Wanyaomen, Ning Family, Zhu Family and Linlang Yingzhaobi formed a secret alliance, which made the relationship between Linghu Jiu and Ning Zhuo much closer.

Linghu Jiu himself has a lot of good feelings towards Ning Zhuo, and now that the alliance is close, the former treats the latter as his own.

Ning Zhuo walked into the cave and found Lin Shanshan was there too.

"Miss Lin." He saluted quickly.

Lin Shanshan also smiled at Ning Zhuo. Although she had some complaints about Ning Zhuo's recent actions, after being invited by Linghu Jiu, she also knew that this was a farewell party for Ning Zhuo, so she attended the banquet with mixed feelings.

The dishes at the banquet were very exquisite and were all selected by Lin Shanshan herself.

But Linghu Jiu and Ning Zhuo were not thinking about this.

Linghu Jiu brought a wine jar and showed it to Ning Zhuo with great interest: "This is the wine I brewed myself using the water from Taohuatan Lake."

"Taohuatan?" Ning Zhuo asked and found out that this deep pool was the one near the Wan Yao Cave, under the waterfall.

Lin Shanshan introduced: "At a fixed time every year, the peach blossom forest upstream is in full bloom. The peach blossoms drift in the wind, along the water flow and waterfall, and finally flow into the deep pool. The peach blossoms and the pool water are reflected in each other, and the drifting peach blossoms dance in the wind, and thousands of red and purple merge into the water. The sound of the white waterfall is like a piano, and the flower-faced jade pool reflects the blue sky."

Ning Zhuo smiled at Lin Shanshan and said, "Today I know that the deep pool where Miss Lin and I first met is called Peach Blossom Pool."

These words startled Lin Shanshan, and her thoughts seemed to go back to the scene when she and Ning Zhuo first met.

Time flies, so many days have passed!

Time flies by so fast.

In the blink of an eye, we will be separated from each other.

Suddenly, a feeling of reluctance to part filled Lin Shanshan's heart, instantly dispelling all her resentment towards Ning Zhuo.

Linghu Jiu began to pour the wine while proudly introducing it: "I'd like to let you know, my dear brother, this wine is called Peach Blossom Three Thousand."

"It is made from peach blossom petals during the spring equinox and the clear spring water under the Peach Blossom Pond, and I make my own special yeast. It is brewed using ancient methods and takes at least three years of fermentation before it can be considered a small success."

Ning Zhuo looked intently and saw that the wine was crystal clear with a light pink tint, just like the first blooming peach blossoms. When it was poured into the wine bowl, the wine was clear with slight ripples, just like the deep pool of peach blossoms.

He raised his wine bowl, clinked glasses with Linghu Jiu and Lin Shanshan, took a sip, and suddenly felt something strange.

Three Thousand Peach Blossoms brings a unique sweetness, as if biting off a fresh peach blossom, with a hint of elegant floral fragrance in the sweetness.

Afterwards, the wine spreads on the tip of the tongue, full and mellow, with a hint of cool pond water, which is endless aftertaste.

Ning Zhuo shook his head and praised immediately: "Good wine, the taste is delicate and long-lasting, it has the mellowness of aged wine, and the fresh and elegant floral fragrance, the strength is moderate, I was intoxicated by it unconsciously."

Linghu Jiu laughed: "The wine is just ordinary, but I added something to it to make it presentable."

Ning Zhuo suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "Could it be a ten thousand year old water spirit?"

Linghu Jiu clapped his hands and laughed: "My dear brother, you are very smart and you understand it immediately."

It is better to be clumsy and speechless.

He had previously rented two portions of Ten Thousand Year Water Essence from the Wanyao Sect, and was still wondering where Linghu Jiu's portion had gone.

Linghu Jiu is the first disciple and the first candidate to become the future leader. It is quite strange that he does not use the Ten Thousand Year Water Essence, which is extremely useful to the entire Wanyao Sect.

Unexpectedly, he actually used it to make wine! Lin Shanshan snorted coldly: "Wine, wine, wine, all you do is drink all day. Do you know that my father is very disappointed with you, my eldest brother, about this matter!"

Linghu Jiu touched his nose, laughed awkwardly, and said, "Shanshan, you don't understand. Why did your father name me Linghu Jiu? He was a man of foresight, so he knew the importance of wine to me, so he specifically reminded me."

"Haha, Master didn't force me to hand over the Ten Thousand Years Water Essence, so he agreed with my choice. It's useless for you to say anything more."

This made Lin Shanshan roll her eyes.

Ning Zhuo quickly raised his wine bowl, clinked glasses with the two of them, and said a few funny words to ease the atmosphere.

After the two sides toasted each other for a while, Ning Zhuo looked at Linghu Jiu and Lin Shanshan with a sincere gaze, and sighed: "Brother Linghu is like a deep pool, with a noble character, able to absorb waterfalls without overflowing, deep and steady, he is my confidant in wine."

"Ms. Lin is as beautiful as a blooming peach blossom, charming and charming, and she is helpful and kind-hearted. I am deeply ashamed of my reckless actions in the past, kidnapping Miss Lin and targeting your father."

Lin Shanshan snorted coldly: "After hearing what you said, I think you still have some conscience."

Linghu Jiu laughed loudly: "It is normal for each of us to fight for our own interests. Fighting without breaking up, fighting in peace, and ending up in the secret alliance today is the best result. This is our fate, and the result of our own efforts."

When Ning Zhuo heard this, he was even more moved.

He knew very well that during the difficult negotiations in Linlang Yingzhaobi, Linghu Jiu not only safeguarded his own interests, but also tried his best to help him, build relationships, and comfort Lin Bufan many times.

On the contrary, Lin Shanshan, the girl who had helped Ning Zhuo a lot in the past, was like a sharp sword, constantly stabbing Ning Zhuo when she interrupted in the negotiations.

Under the noses of the sages' Dharma bodies, in front of Zhu Xuanji, Shen Lingshu and Lin Bufan, Ning Zhuo was not bold enough to use his magical powers to risk people's lives.

But he understood Lin Shanshan very well.

Fortunately, the result is good.

Now that the negotiations have come to a conclusion, the relationship between Wanyaomen and the Ning family has become closer than ever before, and the relationship between Ning Zhuo, Lin Shanshan, and Linghu Jiu has also been locked in a very high lower limit.

"Come, drink!" Ning Zhuo raised the wine bowl again.

Linghu Jiu laughed.

The three of them tasted wine and talked about the future.

Ning Zhuo asked Linghu Jiu about his feelings about killing the monster reflected in the wall.

In the past few days, Linghu Jiu is still being "confined" in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. In fact, his real body often secretly goes to the quasi-immortal weapon to fight life-and-death battles with many monsters.

Linghu Jiu was in high spirits, talking about the dangers of war, but it was a great tempering for him, and he could clearly feel his combat power rising steadily. He was like a rough stone before, but now it was polished. Under the huge external pressure, all kinds of spells, swordsmanship, etc. were severely compressed, and he had a lot of insights, eliminated many useless moves, and the rhythm of the battle became faster and faster.

"It's a pity that my dear brother has other important matters to attend to and is in a hurry to leave the valley. Otherwise, we could kill the monsters side by side and drink together after the battle. It would be a great pleasure in life!"

Ning Zhuo was quite moved by what he said. Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He sighed, "If I have time in the future, I will definitely practice together with you. I can feel refreshed just thinking about it now!"

Linghu Jiu laughed loudly, and he and Ning Zhuo drank three large bowls in a row.

Lin Shanshan: …

At this moment, she suddenly felt that she was somewhat redundant.

Linghu Jiu's face turned red, and he was reeking of alcohol. He grabbed Ning Zhuo's arm and said, "Brother, before you leave, please make sure to leave your impression."

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

"In the future, when I miss you, I will talk to Yingxiang, which will help ease your worry."

"And I can also carry your image with me to kill many enemies and demons. When you return to the valley in the future, you may be surprised by the rich spoils of war, hahahaha."

Ning Zhuo nodded repeatedly: "That's exactly what I was thinking!"

Lin Shanshan: "However, Senior Brother, it seems that you don't have much time left in the valley. I heard from my father that he wanted you to lead the team to Huoshi Xiancheng in person to survey the battlefield in advance."

Linghu Jiu's smile faded a little, and he sat down again. He looked at the two of them and nodded, "Master did tell me about this idea."

Linghu Jiu was always punished by Lin Bufan to be confined, the real reason was that Lin Bufan wanted to use this to infiltrate Linlang Yingzhaobi. By the way, by punishing Linghu Jiu for shielding his fellow disciples, he helped boost the reputation and popularity of his first disciple.

Today, Linghu Jiu already knows the truth, and Lin Bufan also deeply realizes the importance of the quasi-immortal weapon, which is not something that he or his faction can possess alone.

In addition, in the alliance, Ning Zhuo had already negotiated the terms with Lin Bufan and successfully invited Lin Bufan to go to Huoshi Xiancheng to help!

That's right.

In the coming days, Lin Bufan will actively prepare for the battle and help Ning Jiufan and Yuan Lao in their fight for the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence.

As for Grandma Yuan's injury, it has been taken over by the royal Zhu family, who are doing their best to heal her as soon as possible.

Linghu Jiu said in a deep voice: "We need to be extremely cautious in this battle. If it is not handled properly and Grandma Yuan of the Ning family is killed, then the control of the Ning family and the royal family over the Fire Persimmon Immortal City and the Lava Immortal Palace will be greatly weakened."

After the alliance, the Wanyao Sect also gained a real understanding of the structure of Huoshi Xiancheng.

But it's not complete yet.

Ning Zhuo's preservation of the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit remained a secret, and even Ning Jufan was unaware of it.

Zhu Xuanji also took the initiative to keep the fact that Ning Zhuo secretly possessed the Buddha's Heart Demon Seal a secret, and only a limited number of people, including the King of Nandou, knew about it.

"I have decided to go to Huoshi Xiancheng." Linghu Jiu said, "Brother, why do you want to teach me?"

Ning Zhuo smiled, well prepared. He handed over a jade slip, which contained detailed information about Huoshi Fairy City and Lava Fairy Palace.

Linghu Jiu probed with his spiritual consciousness and found that a lot of information was clearer, especially his understanding of the Lava Fairy Palace was very in-depth, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"With this jade slip, I have already succeeded in exploring the battlefield. Thank you, brother!"

Ning Zhuo quickly waved his hands and said many humble words.

He turned his head and looked at Lin Shanshan, asking her to help take care of Lingyin Willow. He would send letters from time to time, begging Lin Shanshan to write back and inform her of the condition of Lingyin Willow.

Lin Shanshan nodded and agreed.

Ning Zhuo observed her expression and saw that she was in a good mood, so he took advantage of her and said, "That Hua Guzi specializes in wood-type skills. I want to arrange for her to stay here. On the one hand, she will take care of Lingyin Willow, and on the other hand, she will help my people to settle in Xiaozheng Peak smoothly."

Lin Shanshan frowned immediately.

"Hua Guzi?" She didn't have much good impression of this crazy woman.

Ning Zhuo showed a hint of embarrassment: "This female cultivator has a strange personality. She is very... close to me and wants to depend on me. If I don't find something for her to do, I'm afraid she will search the world for me."

"She is quite capable, not only in combat, but also in cooking."

"Oh, I asked her for advice at the beginning, and that's how I found out that the Yousi Mingniang was fake wine."

At this point, Linghu Jiu immediately spoke up to defend his mentor, saying, "My dear brother, you are wrong. Yousi Mingniang is definitely not a fake wine."

"It has a unique taste and is a fine wine, but the recipe is not outstanding."

"It does allow me to more easily communicate with the dharma bodies of the sages in the wall of reflection. Didn't my brother Ning Zhuo benefit from it?"

Ning Zhuo had no intention of getting into such a dispute with Linghu Jiu, so he immediately raised his wine bowl and said, "I made a mistake, so I will drink a glass as punishment!"

Lin Shanshan smiled slightly and gritted her teeth and said, "He deserves to be punished."

Linghu Jiu laughed loudly and pointed at Ning Zhuo: "Is this a punishment or a reward?"

In this way, it was a farewell banquet and both the guests and the hosts enjoyed themselves.
