Chapter 371 Blocking
Lin Shanshan took Ning Zhuo's pulse.

After a moment, she retracted her slender jade fingers and said softly, "The bitter cold energy accumulated in Master Ning Zhuo's body is not much, but it will still take more than a month to completely dispel it."

"During this period, any food tasted by Master Ning Zhuo will taste bitter."

"Don't get cold, as this will exacerbate the bitter cold."

"At the same time, be open-minded and don't be depressed, as this will make the bitter cold even more profound."

Lin Shanshan gave Ning Zhuo detailed instructions.

Ning Zhuo said somewhat unwillingly: "Miss Lin, your family is good at medical treatment, don't you have any way to treat this bitter cold?"

Lin Shanshan smiled: "Of course there are, but the price is too high."

"To remove the bitter cold energy instantly, you must use at least a golden elixir-level elixir. In my opinion, the bitter cold energy in your body is not accumulated much, and it will not affect your cultivation and combat."

"As long as you are patient for a while, you can recover without medicine. Why not?"

Ning Zhuo nodded slightly: "I have to thank Miss Lin for your timely reminder. Hanzhou is indeed Hanzhou. The bitter cold air he cast is so difficult to deal with. It must be solved by Jindan-level means."

Lin Shanshan said: "The reason why the bitter cold is difficult to resolve is not because it corrodes the cultivator's body, but because it corrodes the spirit."

"According to the speculation of our sect, the bitter cold air contains the true meaning, and its penetration into the Dantian on the Sea of ​​God is irreversible."

"That's why my father believes that the Bitter Cold Sutra is most likely a Buddhist practice. Young Master must also know that the terrifying thing about Buddhist practices is that they can save people."

Ning Zhuo nodded.

There are many Buddhist techniques that have the power to save people.

The root lies in the Buddhist magic power, which carries its own true meaning and can penetrate the upper dantian.

Therefore, after being beaten by Buddhist techniques frequently, it is easy for monks to gradually accept Buddhist teachings, eventually enter Buddhism and become Buddhist disciples.

There is a world-famous magical power in Buddhism, called the Five Finger Mountain, which is obtained by practicing the Buddhist techniques to save people.

When this magical power is used, the magic power will condense into a shape, turning into the Five Finger Mountain to suppress the powerful enemy. The longer the suppression time, the more the powerful enemy will be infiltrated and transformed by the true meaning of Buddhism.

Ning Zhuo: "So, Hanzhou's real intention is not to practice in Xiaozheng Peak, but to save people?"

Lin Shanshan shook her head slightly: "This is just a guess, at least Hanzhou has never admitted it, so this guess has never been confirmed."

Ning Zhuo laughed: "How could Hanzhou admit it? Conversion is a taboo. Is the converted me still the real me? At least I think this is not a change from me personally, but a forced shaping by external forces. This is a very scary thing!"

Lin Shanshan sighed softly: "There are all kinds of people on Xiaozheng Peak, and the foreign cultivators have their own plans and purposes. It is difficult for outsiders to find out clearly. Master Ning Zhuo, you said before that you came here to seek advice. What do you want to learn?"

Without waiting for Ning Zhuo to answer, Lin Shanshan continued, "I originally thought that you lost more than you won in the fight with Han Zhou."

"But since you have a golden elixir-level talisman, combined with your profound attainments in the five elements magic, you are already a first-class fighter on Xiaozheng Peak."

"I underestimated you!"

"With or without my help, it actually has nothing to do with the outcome of this battle. You can definitely succeed without me."

Even if no life was hanging by a thread or the Buddha's Heart Demon Seal was in danger, Ning Zhuo was able to immediately detect the resentment and suspicion harbored by Lin Shanshan based on the ability to understand people that he had developed in the Huo Shi Xian City since he was a child.

Ning Zhuo immediately smiled slightly apologetically and looked at Lin Shanshan with sincere eyes.

He slowly stood up, bowed deeply to Lin Shanshan, apologized first, and then explained slowly.

"Miss Lin, I didn't mean to deceive you."

"Look, this is the Oily and Slippery Talisman, which was specially given to me by my clan's Golden Core Ancestor when I was in my hometown."

Lin Shanshan immediately shifted her gaze: "Mr. Ning Zhuo, this is your trump card, how can you show it to others so easily?"

Ning Zhuo snorted, took a step forward, grabbed Lin Shanshan's hand, and stuffed the slippery talisman into her hand.

Ning Zhuo: "Let me show you, Miss Lin, how can this be considered a 'light hint'?"

Lin Shanshan was at a loss as to what to do because of Ning Zhuo's sudden behavior.

"Men and women should not touch each other, how can you do this?!" She was filled with shame and anger.

My Buddha's Heart Demon Seal!
Lin Shanshan's shyness surged, overwhelming her anger.

Ning Zhuo looked anxious and sincere: "I didn't mean to deceive Miss Lin on purpose, but this kind of talisman was originally used to save my life. If I take it out as a trump card and show it, others will definitely look down on me."

"I am Ning Zhuo, from the Ning family of Huoshi Xiancheng. I will never change my name or surname! I don't mind if people look down on me. But because of my behavior, others will also look down on my Ning family. This is absolutely unacceptable!"

These words were full of a sense of collective honor, and Lin Shanshen, the eldest daughter of Wanyaomen, strongly agreed with them.

Ning Zhuo continued, "My name Ning Zhuo means to be modest and humble. It is my parents' blessing and reminder to me. Therefore, it is not my nature to be arrogant and aggressive."

"I often remind myself: these trump cards are just external things, not my own strength. Only when you are strong yourself can you be truly strong."

"So, I always treated these cards as if they didn't exist!" "Take this time for example..."

"If I had relied on the Slippery Talisman, I would never have sought your advice. Without your advice, how could I have made significant progress in my close combat skills?"

"Look, I was fighting Han Zhou before and got into a close combat. Although I was in a mess, I managed to hold on for a while. If it were me before, I would never be able to do this."

"This is all thanks to you, Miss Lin."

Lin Shanshan waved her hands quickly: "No, no. Master Ning Zhuo has a good understanding, he understands everything at once, and he has tried his best to train, devoting himself to it. I am not a famous teacher, and the biggest reason why you have made such progress is that you are excellent."

Lin Shanshan said this without any exaggeration, she meant it completely from the bottom of her heart.

She saw Ning Zhuo's hard work and progress with her own eyes!
Ning Zhuo sighed deeply and said with emotion: "The help the girl has given me is more than just this."

"The Bigu Pill helped me overcome the hunger fire."

"The Heart-Warming Pendant helps me resist the cold."

"After experiencing the battle in Hanzhou, I realized how much help these people can provide!"

When mentioning the Nuanxin Pendant, Lin Shanshan immediately remembered the purpose of her visit to Ning Zhuo.

She wanted to get the jade pendant back.

She just lent it to Ning Zhuo, not gave it as a gift. The Bigu Pill was fine, but the Heart-warming Pendant was only a small magical instrument, but it was her personal item after all.

Lin Shanshan gave it to Ning Zhuo because she was impulsive, worried, and inexperienced.

Over the past few days, the rumors in the sect made her realize that this move was inappropriate. If it were to be exposed, it would probably be ironclad evidence of these rumors. It would be better to get it back!
Just as she was about to speak, Ning Zhuo said, "Look, young lady. This is the spiritual talisman of my clan. My Ning family is good at making talismans. This talisman has its own spirituality, so I don't need to cast it. As long as I fall into some kind of crisis, it will activate itself."

Lin Shanshan's attention was diverted.

She is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although she has Nascent Soul-level protective means, she has little contact with Golden Core-level talismans.

Wanyaomen is not good at these.

She has seen a lot of golden elixir-level elixirs.

In particular, the shiny and slippery talisman is a spiritual talisman that can be reused, which is even rarer.

Lin Shanshan just glanced at the talisman and handed it to Ning Zhuo.

She suppressed her curiosity and said the same thing - this was Ning Zhuo's trump card, how could she see it?

Ning Zhuo did not take it, but said: "I learned the art of communication a long time ago. I respond to others the way they treat me. Miss Lin, you and I are strangers. We have known each other for a short time, but you helped me so sincerely. I must treat you sincerely!"

"To be honest, although the ancestor of my Ning family only has the Golden Core, there are also Yuanying fighters in the family."

"I am very lucky to have the trust of the ancestor. I have many such cards on my body when I travel abroad this time."

"If it weren't for the fact that my ancestor personally gave it to me, I would have kept it close to my body. Now, what's the harm in giving it to you?"

When she heard about the personal item, Lin Shanshan's heart skipped a beat. The fingers holding the talisman couldn't help but shrink slightly, as if she felt Ning Zhuo's body temperature from the talisman.

Lin Shanshan stood up with a serious look on her face. "Mr. Ning Zhuo, you are joking! How can you give away such a valuable item as a Jindan-level talisman so easily?"

Ning Zhuo also looked solemn: "Miss Lin, this is wrong!"

"Although the talisman is good, it is just an external object after all."

"This 'good thing' is only available to you and me because our cultivation is weaker. If we become Jindan cultivators, wouldn't the sense of this talisman be much weaker when we look at it again?"

"Only when you are strong yourself can you be truly strong! When we cultivate, we must make good use of things and strengthen ourselves."

“So, for this kind of talisman, I value it, but I also don’t value it.”

"I prefer to be a humble person, put people first, and value friendship."

"Miss Lin, you are kind-hearted and took the initiative to give me the Heart-Warming Pendant and the Bigu Pills and helped me with my special training. How can I not repay you?"

At the end, Ning Zhuo sighed softly, his face full of regret: "It's just that this slippery talisman cannot be given away easily. This is because it was given by the ancestor himself. When I return to the family in the future, I need to ask the ancestor for permission before I can implement it."

"But I promise you, Miss Lin, I will definitely give you a magic talisman in the future as a token of my gratitude."

"This..." Lin Shanshan opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.

Blocked!

Having said that, looking at Ning Zhuo who had a face full of gratitude and sincerity, how could she still bring herself to ask for the jade pendant back?
"Well, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame me for not explaining it clearly at the beginning, which led to misunderstanding."

"In fact, I had the intention to give it as a gift at the beginning, but it was only because of the recent rumors that I realized something was amiss."
