Great Peak, Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
"Hahaha, my brother is here!" Linghu Jiu laughed, walked out of the cave, took Ning Zhuo's arm, and entered the cave.
After the negotiations, Wan Yaomen, the Ning family, the Zhu family, and Lin Lang Yingbi formed a secret alliance, so the relationship between Linghu Jiu and Ning Zhuo became much closer.
Linghu Jiu himself had a lot of affection for Ning Zhuo, and now the alliance was close, making the former completely regard the latter as his own.
Ning Zhuo walked into the cave and found that Lin Shanshan was also there.
"Miss Lin." He quickly saluted.
Lin Shanshan also smiled at Ning Zhuo, although she complained about Ning Zhuo's recent actions, but after the invitation of Linghu Jiu, she also knew that this was a farewell banquet for Ning Zhuo, so she participated in this banquet with complicated feelings.
The dishes in the banquet were very exquisite, and they were all selected by Lin Shanshan herself.
But Linghu Jiu and Ning Zhuo's thoughts are not here.
Linghu Jiu brought a wine jar and showed it to Ning Zhuo with great interest: "This is the wine I made myself by taking the water from the Taohuatan."
"Peach Blossom Pond?" Ning Zhuo asked and found out that this deep pool was the deep pool under the waterfall near the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.
Lin Shanshan introduced: "Every year at a fixed time, the peach blossom forest in the upper reaches is in full bloom, and the peach blossoms drift in the wind, following the water flow and waterfalls, and finally flow into the deep pool. The peach blossoms and the pool water reflect each other, and it is the drifting peach blossoms dancing in the wind, and the thousands of reds and purples enter the water. The sound of the white waterfall is like a piano, and the jade pool reflects the blue sky."
Ning Zhuo smiled at Lin Shanshan and said: "I just learned today that the deep pool where I met Miss Lin for the first time is called Peach Blossom Pool."
These words made Lin Shanshan stunned, and her thoughts seemed to go back to the scene where she and Ning Zhuo met for the first time.
The deceased is like this, so many days have passed!
Time flies too fast.
In the blink of an eye, they will be separated from each other.
Immediately, a reluctant farewell reluctance rippled in Lin Shanshan's heart, causing her resentment towards Ning Zhuo to instantly dissipate countless times.
Linghu Jiu began to pour wine while triumphantly introducing: "Good teaching my brother to learn that this wine is called Peach Blossom Three Thousand."
"Made from the peach blossom petals during the spring equinox every year, as well as the clear spring under the peach blossom pool, plus Brother Yu's special koji, brewed using the ancient method, after at least three years of fermentation, it is considered a small achievement."
Ning Zhuo looked at it intently, and saw that the color of the peach blossom three thousand wine was crystal clear, slightly pink, like a peach blossom in bloom. When poured into the wine bowl, the wine was clear and rippled slightly, as if it were the deep pool of peach blossoms.
He raised the wine bowl, clinked glasses with Linghu wine and Lin Shanshan, took a sip, and suddenly felt strange.
The 3,000 peach blossoms bring a unique sweetness, as if biting into a fresh peach blossom, with a hint of elegant floral fragrance in the sweetness.
Subsequently, the wine spreads on the tip of the tongue, full and mellow, with a hint of cool pool water, which is endlessly memorable.
Ning Zhuo shook his head for a moment, and immediately praised: "Good wine, the wine has a delicate and long taste, not only the mellowness of old wine, but also the fresh and elegant floral aroma, the wine is moderate, so that my little brother and I are intoxicated without realizing it."
Linghu Jiu laughed: "The wine is just ordinary, but I added something to the wine to get it."
Ning Zhuo had a flash of inspiration in his mind and blurted out: "Could it be a ten-thousand-year crystal?"
Linghu Jiu clapped his hands and laughed: "Dear brother, you are smart, you can understand it at all."
Ning Zhuo was speechless.
Previously, he had rented his two copies of the Ten Thousand Year Essence from Wan Yao Men, and he was still wondering where the Linghu wine had gone.
Linghu Jiu, as the first disciple, was the first reserve candidate for the head of the future sect, and it was obvious that the Ten Thousand Year Water Essence was extremely useful to the entire Ten Thousand Medicine Sect, but he didn't take it out, which was quite strange.
Unexpectedly, he was actually used to make wine!
Lin Shanshan snorted coldly: "Wine, wine, wine, I know how to drink all day long. Do you know that my father is very disappointed in you, senior brother, for this matter!"
Linghu Jiu touched his nose, laughed, and said: "Shanshan, you don't understand. Why did your father name me Linghu Jiu? He is an old man who has far-reaching plans, so naturally he has long known the importance of wine to me, so he specially woke me up."
"Haha, Master did not forcibly order me to hand over the Ten Thousand Year Water Essence, and naturally agreed to my choice. If you say it again, it's useless."
These words caused Lin Shanshan to roll her eyes.
Ning Zhuo quickly raised the wine bowl, clinked glasses with the two of them, and said a few more interesting words to ease the atmosphere.
The two sides pushed their glasses for a while, and Ning Zhuo turned to Linghu Jiu and Lin Shanshan with sincere eyes, and sighed: "Brother Linghu is like a deep pool, with a high wind and bright festival, accepting waterfalls without overflowing, deep and stable, and he is my confidant in wine."
"Miss Lin's beauty is like peach blossoms, charming, helpful, and kind-hearted. In the past, my younger brother acted recklessly, kidnapped Miss Lin, and kept dealing with Lingzun, which is really unbearable."
Lin Shanshan snorted coldly: "After hearing this, you still have some conscience."
Linghu Jiu laughed: "It is common for each to fight for their own masters and interests. Fighting without breaking, fighting peacefully, and falling into the current dark alliance is already the best result. This is our fate and the result of our respective efforts."
When Ning Zhuo heard this, he was even more moved.
He knew very well that in the difficult negotiations in the previous dazzling reflection wall, Linghu Jiu not only defended his own interests, but also tried his best to help himself, win over relationships, and comfort Lin Bufan many times.
On the contrary, Lin Shanshan, the girl who helped Ning Zhuo a lot in the past, interjected during the negotiations, like a sharp sword, constantly stabbing Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo was under the noses of the Dharma Body of the Sages, in front of Zhu Xuanji, Shen Lingshu, and Lin Bufan, and did not have the audacity to use the magical power of human life.
But he understands Lin Shanshan very well.
Fortunately, the result was good.
Now that the negotiations have come to fruition, the relationship between Wan Yaomen and the Ning family has never been closer, and the relationship between Ning Zhuo, Lin Shanshan, and Linghu Jiu has also locked a very high lower limit.
"Come on, drink!" Ning Zhuo raised the wine bowl again.
Linghu wine laughed.
Lin Shanshan was silent and raised her wine bowl in response.
The three of them tasted wine and talked about the future.
Ning Zhuo asked Linghu Jiu about the feeling of killing demons in the wall of Linlang.
In the past few days, Linghu Jiu has still been "confined" in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, but in fact, his true body often secretly goes to the quasi-immortal weapon and engages in life-and-death confrontations with many monsters.
Linghu Jiu was very talkative, talking about the danger of war, but he was very tempered by himself, and he could clearly feel that his combat power was rising. It used to look like rough stone, but now it has been polished. Under the huge external pressure, various spells, swordsmanship, etc. were severely compressed, generating a lot of insights, eliminating many useless moves, and the pace of battle became faster and faster.
"It's a pity that my brother has other important matters and is in a hurry to leave the valley. Otherwise, we will kill demons side by side and drink together after the war, which will be a happy thing in life!"
Ning Zhuo was quite moved, thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but upturn, and sighed: "If I have time in the future, I will definitely practice with my brother.
Linghu Jiu laughed and drank three bowls with Ning Zhuo.
Lin Shanshan: ......
At this moment, she suddenly felt that she was a little redundant.
Linghu Jiu's face turned red, he sprayed the smell of alcohol, and held Ning Zhuo's arm: "Dear brother, before leaving, be sure to leave your image."
"In the future, when I miss my good brother, I will talk to the image to ease my brother's concern."
"And Brother Yu can also take the image of his virtuous brother to kill enemies and demons many times. In the future, when my brother returns to the valley, maybe the abundance of the spoils will surprise you, hahaha."
Ning Zhuo nodded repeatedly: "My brother has this idea!"
Lin Shanshan: "However, senior brother, it seems that the time you have been in the valley is running out. I heard my father accidentally say that he wanted you to personally lead the team to the Fire Persimmon Immortal City and survey the battlefield in advance."
Linghu Jiu's smile restrained slightly, and he sat down again, he looked at the two of them, nodded and said, "Master did reveal this idea to me."
Linghu Jiu was always punished and imprisoned by Lin Bufan, and the real reason was that Lin Bufan wanted to use this to infiltrate the Lindaang Reflection Wall. By the way, by punishing Linghu Jiu who shielded his fellow junior brothers and sisters, he boosted the reputation and hearts of the first disciples.
Now, Linghu Jiu already knew the truth, and Lin Bufan also deeply realized the importance of quasi-immortal weapons, and it was not something he could plot alone.
In addition, in the covenant, Ning Zhuo had already negotiated the conditions with Lin Bufan and successfully invited Lin Bufan to go to the Fire Persimmon Immortal City to help!
That's right.
Lin Bufan will actively prepare for the next period of time to help Ning Jiufan and Yuan Ma exert their efforts in competing for the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence.
As for Grandma Yuan's injury, it has been taken over by the royal Zhu family, and they will do their best to heal it as soon as possible.
Linghu Jiu said in a deep voice: "In this battle, you need to be cautious. If it is not handled properly and the Ning family's Yuan grandma is damaged, then the Ning family and the royal family's control over the Fire Persimmon Immortal City and the Lava Immortal Palace will be weakened by half."
After the alliance, the Wan Yao Sect side also had a real understanding of the pattern of the Fire Persimmon Immortal City.
But it's not thorough.
Ning Zhuo's preservation of the Dragon Fire Spirit has always been a secret, even Ning Jiufan didn't know about it.
Regarding the fact that Ning Zhuo secretly possessed my Buddha heart demon seal, Zhu Xuanji also took the initiative to keep this secret, and only a limited number of people, including the monarch of Nandou, knew about it.
"I have decided to go to the Fire Persimmon Immortal City." Linghu Jiu said, "Dear brother, how can you teach me?"
Ning Zhuo smiled broadly, he was already prepared, he handed over a jade slip, which contained detailed information about the Fire Persimmon Immortal City and the Lava Immortal Palace.
Linghu Jiu's divine consciousness probed in and found that a lot of information was clearer, especially the understanding of the Lava Immortal Palace, which was very in-depth, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"With this jade slip, I have already succeeded in most of this exploration battlefield. Thank you, dear brother!"
Ning Zhuo quickly waved his hand and humbled himself.
He turned his head and looked at Lin Shanshan, asking the latter to help take care of Lingyin Liu, and he would send letters from time to time, begging Lin Shanshan to reply to inform Lingyin Liu's condition.
Lin Shanshan nodded in agreement.
Ning Zhuo observed her words and expressions, and seeing that she was in a good mood, he said inch: "That Hua Guzi specializes in wood practice, I intend to arrange for her to be stationed here, on the one hand, on behalf of me to take care of Lingyin Liu, and on the other hand, to help my clan successfully station at Xiao Zhengfeng."
Lin Shanshan frowned suddenly.
"Hua Guzi?" She didn't have much affection for this crazy woman.
Ning Zhuo showed a look of sarcasm: "This female cultivator has a strange temperament and is extremely ...... Get close to me and want to cling to me. If I don't find her something to do, I'm afraid she will look for me all over the world."
"And she is not only strong, not only her own combat power, but also proficient in cooking."
"Oh, I asked her for advice at the beginning, and then I learned that the Hidden Brew was fake wine."
Speaking of this, Linghu Jiu immediately spoke out and defended his teacher: "My brother's words are wrong, and meditation is definitely not fake wine."
"It has a unique taste, it is a fine wine, but the wine is not outstanding."
"It does allow me to communicate more conveniently with the Dharma bodies of the sages in the wall. Didn't Brother Ning Zhuo also benefit from this?"
Ning Zhuo had no intention of having such a dispute with Linghu Jiu, and immediately raised the wine bowl: "Little brother made a mistake, punish yourself with a glass!"
Lin Shanshan showed a smile and gritted her teeth and said: "It really deserves to be punished."
Linghu Jiu laughed and pointed to Ning Zhuo: "Is this a punishment or a reward?"
In this way, a farewell banquet will be held for guests and hosts.
