Ning Zhuo guessed, "These spiritual plants are very young and of low value, so they are not picked for the sake of the plants themselves. I think they are deliberately cleaned to maintain this passage. The spiritual plants will attract spiritual beasts and demon beasts. If my clan wants to use this passage for a long time, it is obvious that we must nip it in the bud."

"Not bad." Ning Zhanji nodded, "The family school has been effective in training you."

"Pick one of these spiritual plants. It'll be your reward for answering the question correctly."

"As for which one you can pick, it depends on your vision."

Ning Zhuo didn't hesitate, he reached out and took a Fire Crystal Grass, then thanked him: "Thank you, Master Ning Zhanji! I have done some research on the herb market, and among all the spiritual plants, this Fire Crystal Grass has the best appearance and must be sold at the highest price."

Ning Zhanji nodded, then shook his head: "You chose the one with the highest market price, which is not bad."

"But if I were you, I would choose Jinshen."

"Because as a member of the Ning family, we practice ice-related skills, and spiritual plants like Fire Crystal Grass are not suitable for our physiques. But the Golden Ginseng can, and it can warm our bodies."

"You are still young, don't just focus on money. You must know that investing in yourself is the best way to success."

"Once you reach the foundation-building stage, you will have a different life experience."

Ning Zhuo looked solemn and receptive when he heard this.

Ning Zhanji took the opportunity to instill: "Excellent cultivators are all brave enough to fight. You must fully estimate the ratio between risk and benefit. If you join the battle hall and are assigned to guard here, you can harvest several spiritual plants every day, and you will also have the protection of a temporary camp. This is a rare opportunity."

“Many times, rejecting risk means rejecting opportunity.”

Ning Zhuo showed a look of interest.

Ning Zhanji saw all these changes in his expression, and he chuckled in his heart, "He is just a teenager after all..."

"Sir, I want to stay here." Ning Yong shouted.

Ning Zhanji laughed and said, "Newbie, you should finish the special training first."

The Ning family's monks group entered an underground hall.

This is obviously a front-line position specially built by the Ning family.

There were two monks from the Ning family stationed in the hall.

The garrisoned monks quickly responded.

Ning Zhanji ordered a temporary rest, and he stood in the center of the underground hall, summoning his magic power and making finger gestures.

Immediately, complex array patterns appeared on the wall above the hall.

In the center of the formation, a millstone-sized formation plate slowly descended and finally landed in front of Ning Zhanji.

Ning Zhanji placed his hands on the array disk, used his spiritual sense to communicate, and quickly read the recorded information in the array disk. Therefore, in just a few breaths, he knew everything that happened in the front-line camp.

After doing this, he took out spirit stones from his purse and replaced all the spirit stones in the array that had completely turned into gray stone or had become mostly dim.

After a short rest, the Ning family's monks team continued their journey.

On the rest of the journey, Ning Zhuo passed through three more advance camps.

Some are repaired, while others just pass by.

As everyone goes deeper into the volcano, the threat grows.

The traces of monsters have increased significantly.

There are fire mice the size of a foot, a stone head that can float in the air - the Red Rock Demon, and a fire-stepping lizard.

"Stop!" Ning Zhanji, who had been leading the charge, suddenly raised his hand and stopped where he was.

The monks quickly stood still, then went from motionless to still, following orders and showing excellent tactical qualities.

Ning Zhanji lowered his head and carefully examined the small ditch in front of him.

He stretched out his finger and gently touched the concave surface of the groove. The surface was smooth and slightly radiated a lustrous glass-like sheen.

"It's a fire snake. It should be more than a hundred years old. It's a monster at the foundation-building stage." After Ning Zhanji finished introducing it, he ordered the entire army to be on alert.

Ning Yong was carefree and excited: "Finally we met one? With Master Ning Zhanji here, why would we be afraid of a little monster?"

Ning Chen analyzed: "Except for the newcomers like us, we have a total of six people in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the others are high-level cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage."

"It's just a monster at the foundation-building stage."

It is better to be clumsy and secretly alert.

The Ning family's monks continued to move forward.

But this time, their speed slowed down significantly and the atmosphere in the team also changed.

Soon, they found the fire snake.

The fire snake has a slender body, and its entire body emits dazzling flames. The entire snake is like a long strip of fiercely burning flame.

In fact, it is a flame spirit, without the flesh and blood of a monster in the conventional sense.

Fire snakes are ferocious and move very fast. As they move among rocks, they often burn a trail on the surface of the rocks.

Just now, Ning fighter plane discovered the snake path and made a judgment based on the width of the snake path and the degree of burnt concave surface.

Now, they encountered the real culprit and found that Ning Zhanji's judgment was not wrong at all.

This is a monster at the foundation-building stage.

The Ning family monks began to fight.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

First, a cultivator threw out a formation plate and set up a temporary formation to restrain the aura of everyone.

Then, a large number of monks began to brew spells.

Soon after, water arrows shot towards the fire snake.

The Fire Snake first suffered a wave of concentrated fire, and only after its flames were mostly weakened did it react.

The fire snake pounced towards the Ning family's group of monks with ferocious momentum.

Two strong men rushed out from among the Ning family monks, casting various spells, and fought against the fire snake, dragging it to the spot.

The other monks cast spells again, on the one hand to bless the melee monks, on the other hand they were also actively killing the fire snakes.

The Fire Snake's two fists were no match for four hands, and it was soon hit by a series of water and ice spells, causing its body to shrink by one third.

Knowing it was no match for its opponent, the Fire Snake tried to escape.

Ning Zhanji's body was as fast as lightning, intercepting the fire snake. He clapped his palms and sent out two palm prints made of frost.

The palm print was flying in the air, and cold air was spreading everywhere. The Fire Snake was enveloped and its movements slowed down a bit.

Bang bang.

The two sounds almost overlapped, and the Frost Palm Seal directly killed the Fire Snake.

A beautiful surprise attack! Ning Yong's eyes lit up and he became more and more excited: "This is Master Ning Zhanji!"

His words revealed an extremely strong yearning and admiration.

Ning Zhuo nodded repeatedly, with a similar expression to Ning Yong, but secretly wondering: "In this volcano, the fire spirit is extremely rich, and using frost spells is thankless. Why are they all using it?"

After the next few battles of hunting monsters, Ning Zhuo gradually understood.

It turned out that this was Ning Zhanji's conscious military training.

When they encounter weaker monsters and fairies, they use spells to fight against them and train their coordination with each other.

When encountering powerful monsters, the Ning family monks would use various magical weapons, with Ning fighter jets taking the lead in the attack.

In order to avoid any complications, the Ning family monks focused on fighting quickly and tried to end the battle in the shortest possible time.

"There's a Fire-Melting Demon Ape ahead!" Suddenly, the monk in charge of reconnaissance in the team shouted a warning.

The whole team was at a standstill.

An adult Fire-Melting Demon Ape is extremely difficult to deal with. One demon ape can be as powerful as ten Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Obviously, the possibility that the demon ape that can reach here is a juvenile is very small.

Even Ning Zhanji frowned.

"Wait a minute, the demon ape's condition seems to be wrong." The reconnaissance monk had his eyes closed, and the headband on his head was emitting a faint light.

"It seems like he's dead?!" The reconnaissance monk opened his eyes, somewhat incredulous.
