Zhu Xuanji did not say too much, but Ning Zhuo had already understood that the Southern Bean Kingdom also intervened in the Two Kingdoms, heavily investing in Thousand Peaks Forest.

Ning Zhuo inwardly calculated: “The implied meaning is for me to help Thousand Peaks Forest.”

“But the Six Caves Sect is a gang within the Thousand Peaks Forest region, perhaps it was also secretly supported by the Southern Bean Royal Family?”

His old ancestor, Ning Jiufan, had instructed him to give the Six Caves Sect some trouble, depending on the situation.

On Zhu Xuanji’s side, he subtly suggested that Ning Zhuo should help the forces within Thousand Peaks Forest.

The intentions of the two sides seemed to conflict, causing Ning Zhuo a slight dilemma.

Ning Zhuo thought for a moment, then nodded to Zhu Xuanji, indicating that he would act according to the circumstances and, if possible, provide assistance.

Ning Zhuo then asked Zhu Xuanji to assist the Ning family in competing for the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence.

“Divine Constable, the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence is of great significance to me.”

“The Mechanical Dragon is quite mana-consuming, and it is inherently driven by a Nascent Soul. If I had the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence, it would greatly alleviate the predicament.”

Zhu Xuanji directly shook his head, indicating that he was unable to help.

“During the negotiation in the Glazed Reflection Wall, Senior Shen clearly stated that the Royal Family is not to interfere casually in the internal affairs of the Fire Persimmon Immortal City.”

“After all, Meng Kui is the current City Lord of Fire Persimmon Immortal City. Unless there is a legitimate reason beforehand, casually interfering in the city’s internal affairs is tantamount to our Royal Family Zhu Clan encroaching upon the Meng family’s interests. This action will greatly disrupt the tacit understanding within our kingdom’s court and cause our Royal Family to lose significant popular support, leading to suspicion and even collective attack from other important officials.”

Although this loss is intangible, anyone with a little political talent knows that the degree of loss is truly immense!

Just like Linghu Jiu, who did not hesitate to offer comprehension diagrams of the Fire and Metal elements to compensate Ning Zhuo, all for the sake of restoring the reputation of the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect.

This kind of reputation and prestige, while seemingly ethereal, is actually related to people’s hearts and will influence the choices of many talented individuals and forces.

Each choice accumulates, forming a vast force that has a tremendous impact on the main body, far exceeding ordinary people’s imagination!

“It is precisely because of this that our Zhu family is vigorously supporting your Ning family, as well as the Zhou family,” Zhu Xuanji shook his head, indicating that the Royal Family would absolutely not casually interfere in this matter.

The Royal Family’s scruples were also reflected in this multi-party cooperation.

On the surface, the alliance only involved the Ning family and the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect, with no mention of the Royal Family at all. In reality, the Zhu family played an extremely important and crucial role, providing guarantees to the Ning family and the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect, as well as the most powerful external supervisory force.

It must be said that Ning Zhuo’s introduction of the Zhu family’s power was an extremely brilliant move!

Seeing that his last effort had failed, Ning Zhuo then made other requests: “It would naturally be best if the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence is captured in Fire Persimmon Mountain.”

“If not, can this junior purchase it from the Royal Family?”

Zhu Xuanji chuckled, pointing at Ning Zhuo: “You little brat, this is your real request, isn’t it?”

Having spent time with Ning Zhuo, he had also figured out many of Ning Zhuo’s social tactics.

Zhu Xuanji nodded slightly: “In our clan’s treasury, there is indeed Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence. However, the spirituality of this Fire Essence is far inferior to the one in Fire Persimmon Mountain.”

Everyone had seen the relevant intelligence.

Zhu Xuanji: “You, who possess the Fire Burial Prajna Soul Dissolution Scripture, know best how important spirituality is.”

“Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence with insufficient spirituality will take a relatively long time to self-absorb and recover.”

“Therefore, your best option is still to seize the one in the mountain. Since you have the Thousand Mile Roaming Dragon, why don’t you return to your family at a crucial moment to assist them?”

Regarding this question, Ning Zhuo had actually considered it long ago.

He resolutely shook his head: “Divine Constable, you actually know the true purpose of my travels throughout the world.”

“It is to replenish the spirituality of my mother’s mechanism and to heal her wounds!”

“The Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence is not a necessity for me. The top priority is to do my best and as quickly as possible to replenish my mother’s spirituality.”

“As for other matters, they will have to be arranged later.”

Zhu Xuanji nodded.

At that time, in the Lava Immortal Palace, he used the Heavenly Capital Golden Eyes, combined with the Root Tracing Technique, to see two scenes of Meng Yao Yin using the Golden Furnace.

At the final crucial moment of the competition in the Lava Immortal Palace, he was also present and personally witnessed the ‘voluntary’ embrace of the Myriad Buddha Heart Demon Seal by Ning Zhuo, as well as Ning Zhuo burning the throne to replenish his mother’s spirituality, and finally Ning Zhuo’s brilliant move – inviting Meng Kui to serve as the Immortal Palace Lord!

It can be said that he was the person who knew the most about Ning Zhuo’s secrets, much more than Ning Jiufan.

Zhu Xuanji smiled slightly: “So, you are going to burn the Embryo Breathing Spiritual Boat, aren’t you?”

Ning Zhuo nodded, admitting it frankly.

This point was easy for a Divine Constable to detect and calculate.

After all, the fact that Ning Zhuo’s mother used the Embryo Breathing Spiritual Boat to nurture the fetus could be completely checked from the records of the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect.

The Embryo Breathing Spiritual Boat was a sect’s legacy treasure, benefiting everyone. Its application would be meticulously planned and recorded.

Zhu Xuanji had already suspected Ning Zhuo’s intention in proposing to borrow the Embryo Breathing Spiritual Boat in the alliance. Because of this, he had secretly helped Ning Zhuo when drafting the specific terms of the alliance.

Lin Bufan had originally intended to add some clauses to ensure the safety of the Embryo Breathing Spiritual Boat, such as prohibiting intentional damage, and penalties for loss or damage.

These clauses were blocked by Zhu Xuanji. He said at the time that mere Embryo Breathing Spiritual Boat and Spiritual Concealment Willow, although very important for the operation of a force, were completely insignificant compared to the Glazed Reflection Wall. He believed that everyone would cherish them and would not intentionally damage them.

He also said: These restrictive and punitive clauses, even if designed, would not provide much protection. On the contrary, if one day things went wrong and the enemy destroyed the legacy treasure, these punitive clauses would cause hidden rifts and internal conflicts within the alliance, so it would be better not to design them.

How could Lin Bufan have expected that Ning Zhuo, being “insane,” had been thinking about burning the Embryo Breathing Spiritual Boat long before arriving at the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect.

Lin Bufan also did not know the injury of the Buddha Physician · Meng Yao Yin, nor did he know that Ning Zhuo possessed the Fire Burial Prajna Soul Dissolution Scripture.

Since Zhu Xuanji said so, he thought deeply at the time and felt that Zhu Xuanji was indeed a Divine Constable, an important member of the Southern Bean Royal Family, with great foresight, and what he said was very reasonable.

Lin Bufan also agreed.

Therefore, Ning Zhuo’s subsequent burning of the Embryo Breathing Spiritual Boat was free from the constraints of the alliance, which provided him with great convenience.

Ning Zhuo was a clever child. Zhu Xuanji’s help at that time made him realize that Zhu Xuanji had secretly assisted him.

At this moment, Ning Zhuo bowed to Zhu Xuanji, cupping his hands: “Thank you, Divine Constable, for your concern and secret assistance. This junior is deeply grateful and will definitely remember this kindness and repay it in the future!”

Zhu Xuanji, however, turned aside to avoid the bow: “Don’t bow casually, and don’t make promises casually. Do you know that these things will affect your fortune?”

“We all talk about mouth seals, heart seals, and body seals, which can help with spellcasting, but there is more internal meaning.”

“Everything we say is a mouth seal. Every decision and thought we have is a heart seal. Every actual action we take is a body seal.”

“These imprints are left behind, affecting us and changing our destiny.”

“I will not accept this bow, nor do you need to repay me. I just see that you are struggling, bearing the heavy responsibility of saving your mother alone, and I know the anxiety and torment in your heart. Such pure filial piety truly inspires one to help.”

“However, although your combat strength is not bad, and your Five Elements realm is even more profound now, making me feel far behind. But this journey may not have the desired outcome.”

“Have you considered this point?”

Ning Zhuo fell silent.

Of course, he had considered this question, but he could not accept the consequence of failure.

Seeing the silent big-headed young man in front of him, Zhu Xuanji frowned slightly: “Eight or nine out of ten things in the world are not as one wishes. If not, ‘may everything be as you wish’ would not be an auspicious saying.”

Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth: “I only know that I will give my all!”

Zhu Xuanji sighed, waved his hand, and simply said: “Set off.”

Ning Zhuo then bowed to Zhu Xuanji in thanks, stepped forward, entered the Thousand Mile Roaming Dragon, and left the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley.

As if sensing something, Linghu Jiu, who was fighting in the Glazed Reflection Wall, paused his movements slightly and was immediately suppressed by the demonic beast.

Inside the boudoir.

Little Ju looked at Lin Shanshan pacing back and forth in the room: “Miss, Young Master Ning Zhuo is about to set off. Are you really not going to see him off?”

Lin Shanshan was hesitant, but this urge made her make up her mind.

“Forget it, I’m not going!”

She sat on the round stool, staring intently at the Mist Concealment Orchid in the vase on the table, murmuring: “What needed to be said was already said at the farewell banquet. Is it possible that I won’t see him again in the future?”

“This stubborn big-headed fellow, so capable, even kidnapped me, and has a higher immortal aptitude than Senior Brother. His reputation will definitely become greater and greater in the future.”

“And the cooperation between my Ten Thousand Medicine Sect and the Ning family, and he also promised to write to me, it’s fine.”

On the surface, these words were spoken by Lin Shanshan to Little Ju, but in reality, they were also to persuade herself.

“Miss…” Little Ju looked at Lin Shanshan worriedly, no longer persuading her.

On the mountain peak, watching the Thousand Mile Roaming Dragon disappear, the golden light in Zhu Xuanji’s eyes also slowly dissipated.

Shen Lingzhu flew over, seemingly slow but actually fast.

Zhu Xuanji glanced at Shen Lingzhu: “Senior, I finally know now why His Majesty the King wanted me to always maintain contact with Ning Zhuo.”

“This son of tribulation is almost demonic!”

“His fortune is so prosperous, and his opportunities are so mysterious that they are unpredictable. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that his Five Elements realm is far beyond mine, and that he has made such progress in Five Elements spells.”

“Our dignified Zhu family, ruling a kingdom, also benefits from him.”

“Glazed Reflection Wall… such a quasi-immortal artifact, how many capable talents can it cultivate for our Zhu family!”

Zhu Xuanji had previously wanted to stay away from Ning Zhuo as much as possible, but after this incident, he found it truly fragrant!

Zhu Xuanji then asked: “Senior, how was the calculation this time?”

“Is Ning Zhuo’s immortal aptitude the King’s Mandate?”

“Or, does he possess the divine ability Human Life String?”

The Southern Bean Royal Family sent Shen Lingzhu over, naturally not just to support Zhu Xuanji. He actually carried a more important mission from the Southern Bean King, which was to investigate Ning Zhuo and thoroughly examine his background!

King’s Mandates are categorized and different. But no matter what kind of King’s Mandate it is, it is a top-grade heavenly aptitude, that is, immortal aptitude!

As for significant secrets like the divine ability Human Life String, Shen Lingzhu, as a member of the Royal Family, also learned about it.

If Ning Zhuo has the King’s Mandate, then the Southern Bean Zhu family must be fully alert and try every means to expel the Ning family.

However, on this point, the Five Elements Divine Lord is extremely secretive.

If he has the divine ability Human Life String, then the Royal Family’s reaction will be even more intense!

It can be said that the Southern Bean Royal Family’s true attitude towards Ning Zhuo depends on Shen Lingzhu’s detection results.
