It turns out that the mountain is a martial arts arena.

Ning Zhuo was sweating profusely and panting. He waved to Lin Shanshan, indicating that he needed to rest.

Lin Shanshan stopped her offensive, took out a bottle of medicinal wine and handed it to Ning Zhuo.

Ever since there were rumors, Lin Shanshan no longer used the martial arts arena on Xiaozheng Peak. In order to avoid gossip, she asked Ning Zhuo to secretly come to Yuanshan Mountain and use the martial arts arena that her father often used.

This martial arts arena is not only of extremely high standard, but also inaccessible, making it the most suitable place for teaching martial arts.

"This is?" Ning Zhuo was confused and reached out to take the medicinal wine.

Lin Shanshan explained: "This is warm autumn wine."

"The main ingredients are chilong fruit, sunflower, and sky dew. It has a strong nourishing and warming effect on the body and can definitely clear the coldness in your body, sir."

Ning Zhuo was speechless: "This is a golden elixir-level medicinal wine. It will definitely clear the bitter and cold air in my body."

"This is too expensive!"

"This is someone who came back from Fire Persimmon City. Your sect finally found out?"

Lin Shanshan shook her head: "The disciple who was sent from abroad has not returned yet. I got this from the elders of the sect in my own name."

"From my heart, I believe in you, Mr. Ning Zhuo."

"From the perspective of a sect, there must be solid evidence and reliable intelligence. Otherwise, dad will act arbitrarily. This is not the best way to lead a sect."

"I understand." Ning Zhuo sighed, "To lead a sect is actually to lead the hearts of the people. If you are blindly forceful and domineering, even if your intentions are good, you will lose the hearts of the people. Those in power should be close to the people and kind, and their governance methods should be like spring breeze and rain, moisturizing things silently.

, that’s the way to go.”

Lin Shanshan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she praised: "Master Ning Zhuo's words are very different from my father's remarks. Maybe in the future, you two can have a pleasant conversation."

Ning Zhuo quickly said that he had already heard of Lin Bufan's reputation. This time he settled in Xiaozhengfeng. From the prosperity of Wanyao Valley, he saw Lin Bufan's management ability, and he admired Lin Bufan from the bottom of his heart.

"I know that Mr. Lin Bufan has many things to do every day, and it is almost impossible to meet a little person like me."

"I only hope that this time, I can take advantage of the opportunity to discuss cooperation between the two races. If I can meet Mr. Lin, that would be really great!"

Ning Zhuo really wanted to leave a good impression on Lin Bufan.

After all, in the future, he is likely to bring up the matter of trading Taixi Lingge.

Although he knew in his heart that this matter was very difficult, he had to at least meet and talk to Lin Bufan first to determine whether there was hope for this option.

Lin Shanshan said: "Since Mr. Ning Zhuo wants to challenge Chang Yan in the near future, it is best to completely remove the bitter cold energy and recover completely, so that you can be more sure of victory."

"Calculating the distance and days, the disciple's return will only be in these days."

"Master, if you can't defeat Chang Yan, you may not be able to make it in time for the next covenant negotiation."

"I give you wine not only for your friend, Master, but also to seek more profits for my sect."

"Compared with the major events of our alliance, what is a mere warm autumn wine?"

Lin Shanshan persuaded Ning Zhuo to accept the medicinal wine, her words were tactful and reasonable.

Ning Zhuo nodded: "Miss Lin is right."

He uncorked the bottle and looked inside.

You will see that the color of the warm autumn wine is amber gold, as translucent as the warm autumn sun, and exudes a light medicinal and fruity aroma, which is refreshing.

Ning Zhuo first sent a message: "Boss, be careful, I'm going to drink."

Sun Lingtong nodded and immediately responded via voice message, saying that he was watching.

Ning Zhuo immediately raised the bottle and took a sip.

When you first drink Nuanqiu Wine, the wine is warm and soft, with a hint of sweetness and coolness, as if the clear spring in the mountain is sliding down your throat.

After a moment, a strong warmth rose from the throat and quickly spread to the limbs and bones. The warmth was like the spring sunshine, penetrating the skin layer by layer, dispelling the cold air in the body, making people feel as if they were bathed in warm sunshine.

Extremely comfortable.

The bitter cold air left in Ning Zhuo's body quickly dissipated as the drunkenness spread.

Not only that, the tension in Ning Zhuo's muscles and meridians caused by the special training just now also subsided.

"Good wine." Ning Zhuo praised.

Lin Shanshan was deeply moved. After thinking about it, she said: "Master Ning Zhuo, when you travel to other places in the future, please don't take any foreign substances easily."

"At least, you need to check it out."

"My father has always taught me that the world is dangerous and it is difficult to distinguish between people's hearts..."

Ning Zhuo nodded: "If it were anyone else, I would be able to check it myself. But Miss Lin, I can trust you."

Lin Shanshan couldn't help but smile and shook her head slightly.

Ning Zhuo stretched his limbs: "Take a sip of medicinal wine, and your fatigue is gone. Let's continue, Miss Lin."

Lin Shanshan's voice was soft: "Okay."

The two continued to sparring.

Ning Zhuo concentrated his attention and devoted himself to training. Every thought was about how he should fight to compete with Lin Shanshan.

He is gifted with early wisdom and is extremely intelligent. Compared with the extremely complex mechanism skills, the art of martial arts is simple and much clearer.

Therefore, Ning Zhuo made rapid progress.

At first, he was suppressed and beaten by Lin Shanshan the whole time. Then, gradually, he had the occasional counterattack. Now, the number of counterattacks is increasing, and his defensive posture is becoming more and more stable.

Lin Shanshan secretly marveled at Ning Zhuo's intelligence, and felt more and more inferior in her heart.

The special training reached Ning Zhuo's physical limit, and the two stopped again.

During the break, when talking about Ning Zhuo's next opponent, Lin Shanshan took the initiative to give him advice: "Chang Yan is a demon cultivator. His body is an earth snake. He is not poisonous, but he is very good at earth magic."

"Sir, if you want to increase your winning rate, you must find a way on the wooden line."

In the relationship between the five elements, fire generates earth and wood restrains earth.

Using fire spells to deal with earth spells will get twice the result with half the effort. But using wood spells is the opposite, getting twice the result with half the effort.

Lin Shanshan continued: "When I saw you, Master, before you fought, the Five Elements spells were powerful, but after careful examination, I found that these spells were not biased towards combat and killing, but rather towards refining. Isn't that true?"

Ning Zhuo touched his nose: "Miss Lin's sharp eyes have already seen it."

"The techniques I practice come from the Lava Immortal Palace, and they are all used for refining mechanisms."

"Using them to fight enemies is not the advantage of these Five Elements spells."

Hearing that Ning Zhuo's skills came from the Lava Immortal Palace, Lin Shanshan's heart was moved, and she couldn't help but have a lot of curiosity.

But it is also offensive to inquire about other people's skills, so Lin Shanshan suppressed her curiosity and continued the previous topic: "In that case, Mr. Ning Zhuo might as well learn the wood technique of our Wanyao Sect."

Among the Five Elements of Magic, Wanyao Sect is naturally the best at Wood Element.

Although the wood magic that they care about is either used for planting, refining elixirs, or healing, the Wanyao Sect has a great business and has also included many wood magic that is more inclined to martial arts.

Ning Zhuo thought for a while and said: "In a few days, it will be time for me to challenge Chang Yan. I have to improve other Mu Xing spells when I learn them. In such a short time, it is almost impossible to succeed."

"So, Miss Lin, do you want me to understand the Dharma Enlightenment Map of your sect?"

Lin Shanshan nodded, feeling relaxed and happy that "talking to smart people saves you worry and effort".

"That's exactly what I mean." Lin Shanshan said.

"There are twenty-seven pictures of the wood element enlightenment in my Ten Thousand Medicine Sect."

"Twelve of them are diagrams related to the three skills of Wanyao Sect, and they cannot be shown to outsiders. But the remaining fifteen pictures have the possibility of being witnessed and understood by Mr. Ning Zhuo."

"It's just that I need you, Mr. Ning Zhuo, to pick out a few of the fifteen pictures. There is only so much time left. I suggest that you select three pictures and then select one of them. Maybe you can do it."

At this point, Lin Shanshan paused, and then added, "No one else would be able to make such preparation arrangements. But Mr. Ning Zhuo, you have amazing understanding, and there is really a possibility of success."

Ning Zhuo touched his nose and felt that Lin Shanshan had much more confidence in him than he did in herself.

In fact, he had come across Dharma Enlightenment Maps before.

The two Dharma Enlightenment Pictures of Ling Shuang and Aoxue from the Ning family are on him.

He had tried to comprehend it before, but had not succeeded. He stared at it for a long time without any clue.

"This time, if I can't understand the wood element enlightenment diagram, wouldn't I be embarrassed?"

Despite such concerns, Ning Zhuo still agreed.

This is an opportunity that comes to your doorstep. You cannot take it from God, but you will be blamed for it!

Lin Shanshan had already prepared the jade slips and handed them to Ning Zhuo at this moment.

Ning Zhuo swept his mind and carefully selected these fifteen wooden paintings of enlightenment.

After a while, he made a decision: "I choose these three pictures."

So, after today's special training, Lin Shanshan led Ning Zhuo to the library.

She showed her token and gave it to the elder guarding the building.

The elder's face was vicissitudes of life and old: "According to the rules of the door, Shanshan, you are indeed qualified to take one person to the attic, but you can only take one book."

Lin Shanshan led Ning Zhuo up the stairs to the top floor and took out a picture of old trees with roots.

After going downstairs and registering, Lin Shanshan took Ning Zhuo to visit her second senior brother and borrowed a painting of Listening to the Waves at Night.

Finally, we came to the back door of her house.

"Sir, please stay for a moment, I'll go and come back." After Lin Shanshan ordered, she entered the mansion and asked to see Lin Bufan.

Lin Bufan was not at home.

Lin Shanshan entered her father's study, rummaged for a while, and found a picture of the sky under a tree on the bookshelf.

Soon after, Ning Zhuo and Lin Shanshan both left the original mountain and went to Xiaozheng Peak.

Ning Zhuo carried three pictures of Wood Elements Enlightenment and took out his own pictures of Lingshuang and Aoxue.

Lin Shanshan felt a little surprised: "It turns out that Mr. Ning Zhuo, you also have a Dharma Enlightenment Map on your body."

Ning Zhuo said: "I'm ashamed. Logically speaking, this is a treasure inherited by the family, but I carry it with me to look for opportunities to understand it. But since I left home, it's hard to have time."

"These two Dharma Enlightenment Pictures will be temporarily pledged and given to you, Miss Lin."

Lin Shanshan refused.

Ning Zhuo groaned and said: "I said the wrong thing, haha."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this time you and I have discussed, communicated, become interested, and exchanged Dharma diagrams. This is really a testament to the gradual friendship between our two forces."

Lin Shanshan then smiled and reached out to take the two Ning family's Dharma Enlightenment Pictures.
