After breakfast, Ning Zhuo came to the yard.
Ning Chen, Ning Yong and others have arrived.
When his classmates saw Ning Zhuo, they all stood up and saluted.
Ning Yong shouted happily with dark circles under his eyes: "Brother Zhuo, I couldn't sleep yesterday! I was too excited, hahahaha."
Others joined in the laughter.
Ning Zhuo bowed and thanked him again. After chatting for a while, he said to the person behind him, "Cousin, please find a seat and sit down."
"Today we are still discussing the experience of casting spells. Although you haven't practiced the Five Elements Qi Law, it is beneficial to learn by analogy. It will be beneficial for you to listen more."
Ning Ji's face was filled with embarrassment, and he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay. I'll listen to your arrangements, cousin!"
His father Ning Ze called him into the study early in the morning and gave him serious instructions, asking him to rely on Ning Zhuo wholeheartedly.
Ning Ji didn't dare to disobey his father's orders, so during breakfast, he "took the initiative" to request to follow Ning Zhuo to do things, and he didn't even want to go to Fu Tang.
Ning Zhuo did not directly accept his following, but let him continue to stay in the Fu Tang.
He did not completely refuse, but suggested that Ning Ji join him to learn and exchange spellcasting experiences.
Ning Zhuo's statement did not completely satisfy Ning Ze's wish, but it did not make the latter completely disappointed.
It is better to join the crowd and simply say hello to others.
He was originally Ning Zhuo's classmate, and these classmates in the reform team were all his acquaintances.
Ning Ji wanted to choose the place closest to where Ning Zhuo was speaking, but at this moment, Ning Chen suddenly said, "This is my seat, why are you trying to grab it?"
Ning Ji exclaimed: "Isn't it just a random seat?"
Ning Chen sneered: "Of course there are rules for seating, at least you have to understand the principle of first come first served. You arrived the latest, so you should sit at the back."
Ning Ji chuckled, "Ning Chen, you are so arrogant. Don't forget, this yard is my home. I am the host and you are the guest. How can a guest bully the host?"
Ning Chen laughed and pointed at Ning Ji: "Do you think we care about your shabby courtyard? We are here because Zhuo Ge is staying here temporarily. Do you believe that no matter where Zhuo Ge lives, we can follow him?"
Ning Ji couldn't argue with Ning Chen, so he looked at Ning Zhuo: "Cousin, look at this..."
Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "Today, we are discussing magic, exchanging ideas and learning from each other, just like in a school."
"There is no such thing as cousins in school. We are all classmates."
"Ning Ji, you can sit at the back. It won't affect your studies."
Ning Ji's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, and a hint of shame and anger flashed across his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Since my father asked me to follow you, then I will listen to you."
Ning Ji sat down at the outermost and most remote place of the crowd.
The people closest to Ning Zhuo are still Ning Chen and Ning Yong.
Everyone who saw this scene was thoughtful.
"The day before yesterday we discussed the Ice Holding Spell. Today I want to talk to you about the combination of the Ice Holding Spell and the Breathing Spell."
"If there is anything that is not in place or wrong, please feel free to point it out."
Ning Zhuo began to tell the story.
Everyone else listened attentively.
At first, many of them didn't care, thinking that Ning Zhuo was just lucky to have come across a Five Elements Qi Law that suited his own needs.
But when Ning Zhuo took the initiative to share his experience in casting spells, they all changed their views and concluded that Ning Zhuo was indeed a talented person and his comprehension of magic was absolutely extraordinary.
Ning Zhuo modestly said that it was for communication and exchange, but Ning Chen, Ning Yong and others knew that this was Ning Zhuo imparting their valuable experience in casting spells! Ning Zhuo himself was precocious, benefiting from his mother's will and Sun Lingtong's education, and he had always hidden his strength in the school.
Afterwards, he used the ranking rewards of Lava Fairy Palace to increase his spellcasting experience again and again, and guiding these classmates was a complete waste of his talent and was more than enough for him.
Among the whole audience, the one who listened least attentively was Ning Ji.
Ning Ji felt indignant and felt that he was treated unfairly the first time he followed Ning Zhuo.
"I am your cousin, and you are helping outsiders instead of me!"
"What are you talking about?"
"I haven't learned the art of holding ice or a breath of air!"
Ning Zhuo noticed Ning Ji's resentment. The latter was not focusing on communication and learning at all. Ning Zhuo did not point it out and let Ning Ji indulge in his own emotions.
Ning Zhuo did not stop communicating until the family envoy arrived.
The messenger said, "Ning Zhuo, the former young clan leader Ning Xiaoren has been imprisoned. I am here to bring you the reward you deserve."
"One Tornado Wheel Magical Instrument, one bottle of Three-Aperture Exquisite Heart Pill, three bottles of Qi Condensation Pill, one bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pill, and one bottle of Poison Removal Pill."
After the messenger recited it once, he handed the storage bag to Ning Zhuo in public.
"Please take inventory and hand it over quickly."
Ning Zhuo unfolded the storage bag and looked through it. After confirming it, he nodded slightly and asked, "There is no Enlightenment Diagram, and no Ice Jade Wine. Can I ask what's going on?"
"Yes, my brother made it all the way to the eighth level. He was still in the repair team at that time. According to the regulations at that time, he should have had the opportunity to comprehend the Enlightenment Diagram and the Ice Jade Wine!" Ning Yong was the first to speak.
Other classmates also spoke up and offered help.
The messenger's expression changed slightly, and he waved his hand quickly: "Everyone, please be patient, I am only the first wave."
"Since yesterday, the family leaders have been discussing giving Brother Ning Zhuo more compensation."
"These rewards are only a part of them. Once they are prepared in the clan treasury, I will be the first one to be delivered."
"After me, there will be other messengers."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions relaxed.
The messenger refused to stay and left the courtyard after completing the handover.
Ning Zhuo tied the storage bag around his waist and continued to impart spellcasting experience and techniques.
About half an hour later, the second messenger arrived.
"One magic tool of the Five Elements Ruler, one magic tool of the Meditation Bell, one bottle of Enlightenment Pill, one stack of Qi-boosting Talismans, and six Perfect Combination Talismans." The messenger announced loudly.
Ning Zhuo took over the goods and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the supplies in the storage bag.
He couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart, realizing something.
Seeing that Ning Zhuo did not ask any questions, the messenger took the initiative to say, "Little brother Ning Zhuo, are you impatient? The Ice Jade Wine will be delivered to you, but this kind of wine must be kept warm in the Ice Heart Jade Pot to ensure quality and quantity. The Ice Heart Jade Pot is a treasure of our clan and has always been with the ancestor."
"So to get a portion of wine, you need to ask to see the ancestor, who will personally give it to you, and then the head of the family will pass it on."
Ning Zhuo smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. The envoy is tired, why don't you go in and rest for a while?"
The messenger waved his hand: "No, no, I have something else to do."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Ning Zhuo said, "It's too much trouble to have the messengers escort us multiple times. It would be better to let the main vein prepare everything and then notify me. I will go there in person and take it all away at once, which is the most convenient."
The second messenger shook his head slightly: "I just follow orders."
Ning Zhuo did not let it go easily: "Then ask the messenger to convey my idea."
"Okay." The second messenger also left.
Ning Zhuo walked back from the courtyard gate and heard his classmates talking excitedly.
“I didn’t expect that this time, the family’s top brass would be so generous!”
"These are all good things. Even Ning Xiaohui didn't receive such treatment in the past."
"This is all because my brother taught them a profound lesson, so that the top management knows what to do!"
"Hahaha, that's right! Even the young patriarch was brought down by my brother. Who in the upper echelons dares to mistreat me now? Aren't you afraid of being brought down by my brother again?"
Ning Yong muttered, "Why is it so troublesome to send out rewards? Why not send them all at once?"
Ning Chen on the side narrowed his eyes: "Perhaps, someone in the family's upper echelons wants to use this method to tell everyone that we are not mistreating my brother anymore."
Ever since Ning Yong called Ning Zhuo "Zhuo Ge", this name gradually spread.
Especially after what happened yesterday, the classmates all changed their way of addressing him and only called him "Brother Zhuo". No one called Ning Zhuo by his name anymore.
On the third time, the messenger finally brought ice jade wine.
"Two ounces of Ice Jade Wine, a Mysterious Ice Waist Badge, two Lingshuang and Aoxue Enlightenment Diagrams, three stacks of Ice Light Vein Strengthening Talismans, a bottle of White Snow Yangchun Pills, and ten top-grade spirit stones!"
After the messenger made the announcement, he also told Ning Zhuo: Ice Jade Wine cannot be stored for a long time and needs to be consumed as soon as possible. The two paintings of Ling Shuang and Ao Xue were painted by a master painter and contain truths. They are not Ning Zhuo's, but are only temporarily borrowed from him. After the deadline, please return them to the clan treasury on time.
The messenger was about to leave but was stopped by Ning Zhuo, who frowned and said, "These rewards are a lot, far more than I deserve. No reward without merit, I will only take the part that I deserve, and return the rest to the clan treasury."
The messenger had already prepared, and answered without thinking: "These are not just rewards, but also compensation from the top."
"Ning Xiaoren is indeed unqualified as the young patriarch. Little brother Ning Zhuo, you have made great achievements in exploring the Immortal Palace. These are all to comfort you."
"That's what it means."
"These things are handed over to you. They are yours. How you use them is up to you."
"Goodbye."
The messenger left.
Ning Ji finally couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up and called out, "Cousin, you have obtained so many cultivation resources, how can you use them all by yourself?"
"Look, I also helped in the ancestral hall yesterday."
"How about you lend me those two enlightenment pictures, or borrow the tornado, or the meditation bell."
Ning Zhuo quickly glanced at the others and found that everyone seemed to be interested to some extent.
It was really because the family’s top management had given too many things, and Ning Zhuo’s classmates were all sixteen or seventeen years old, and had hardly ever seen such a grand gift.
Ning Ji actually expressed the thoughts of many people.
"Look."
"Yesterday, we helped you with all our might, creating a sensation that shook the entire clan, and that's how Ning Xiaoren was brought down. That's why you, Ning Zhuo, have such a rich harvest."
"The other pills are consumables. Once you eat them, they are gone. We are too embarrassed to ask for them."
"But these magical instruments are excellent for assisting in cultivation. With our friendship, it should be okay for you to borrow them, right?"
Amid everyone's hopeful gazes, the faint smile on Ning Zhuo's face disappeared.
He shook his head expressionlessly: "The cultivation tools are all personal belongings, how can they be borrowed casually? Don't mention this again!"
"Well, the family's rewards have finally been distributed."
"Let's continue."
Ning Zhuo returned to his original position and started lecturing again, imparting spellcasting techniques and experiences.
"Stingy, so stingy!" Ning Ji was directly and ruthlessly rejected by Ning Zhuo, and was stimulated by such a generous reward. The flame of jealousy in his heart quickly turned into resentment.
Some of the classmates were also distracted.
But most people adjusted quickly, adjusted their mindset, and listened attentively.
Ning Zhuo remained calm and kept all the behaviors of his classmates in mind.
