Halfway through the journey, three Jindan cultivators descended from the sky, they were Zhu Xuanji, Ning Jiufan and Zhou Nongying.
Ning Zhuo had anticipated the arrival of the Jindan cultivator and quickly bowed to him.
Zhou Nongying asked, "Little guy, what happened in the clinic just now?"
Ning Jiufan continued, "My feeling for you has temporarily disappeared. Tell me about your experience in the clinic."
Zhu Xuanji looked at Ning Zhuo silently without saying anything.
Ning Zhuo exclaimed, and then told the three Jindan monks earnestly that he had just received a high-paying task in the clinic and entered the intensive care unit.
"Maybe that room is special, isolating the inside and the outside." Ning Zhuo said.
The three Jindans looked at each other quickly. Ning Zhuo's answer was exactly what they had guessed and discussed before.
Ning Zhuo showed a worried look on his face, and then asked: "Is it because I entered the intensive care unit that the ancestors' perception of me has been weakened a lot? Hmm... can you give me some more?"
Ning Zhuo took the initiative to request that the Jindan monks provide him with additional monitoring methods.
Such performance made Zhu Xuanji's eyes move slightly.
Seeing Ning Zhuo's fear of death, Ning Jufan, the ancestor of the Ning family, snorted and said, "Look at how little you can do."
Ning Zhuo complained: "Grandfather, I am only at the Qi training stage. If I had your strength, I would definitely be very ambitious."
"I am the blood of the Ning family. You must give me more protective measures."
"How could I not know the current situation?"
"The villain who controlled the Five Elements Artillery Tower and bombarded Huoshi Mountain was so cruel and vicious!"
"What's even more terrifying is that we still haven't found out who he is."
"For us reformed members, since we have the status of trial disciples, it is extremely convenient for us to compete for various positions."
"If we continue to earn great achievements like this, we will definitely be a thorn in the eyes of the real murderer. He will definitely take action against us."
"It's just that until now, due to the protection of the Jindan ancestors, he has no chance for the time being."
"This time, I went to the clinic alone and entered the treatment room. I was alone. I was heading for the mountain of tigers even though I knew there were tigers there."
"How can this be considered fear of death? This is clearly the courage to face death head-on."
These words left the three Jindan masters speechless.
Ning Jiufan snorted again: "You little brat, you are so eloquent."
"Why don't you say that only trial disciples can compete for this important place, the Medical Center?"
"The real murderer is just like us. Even if he has the cultivation base of the Golden Core Stage, he cannot get close to the clinic."
"You are safe in here."
"It was precisely because of this that we did not rush to attack you after we lost our sense of you."
"How can you call this fearless?"
Ning Zhuo showed a serious look on his face, and said carefully: "My dear ancestors, this is what I think."
"We have discovered that only disciples who have completed trials are eligible to take up positions in the clinic."
"But is this the real answer? No one can be sure."
"It's just that at the moment, all the evidence points to this answer."
"Perhaps it is possible that even as an outsider, one can join the clinic through some channels or means."
"I think the Lava Fairy Palace is, after all, the palace left by the Three Sects Master. The Three Sects Master is a compassionate person. With his generosity, he would not only benefit his own people but also leave a way out for others."
"Perhaps it is possible that the real murderer has a channel, or a secret way, to get into the clinic and kill me."
Ning Zhuo said these words mainly to make up for the flaws in himself.
As the commander of the Five Elements Artillery Tower, he activated the Five Elements Artillery Tower with all his strength and bombarded Huoshi Mountain.
This action is a flaw.
Because so far, no one has been able to join the Five Elements Artillery Tower.
Similarly, no one can join the Dianjiangtai and take up any position related to it.
However, at present, Zhu Xuanji and others have not yet truly confirmed the fact that "only disciples who have undergone trial are qualified to work in the Five Elements Artillery Tower."
Once they confirm this, they will most likely lock down the identity of the real murderer to the level of trial disciples!
This is extremely disadvantageous to Ning Zhuo!
So before that, Ning Zhuo needed to use his speculation to alert Zhu Xuanji and others of possible suspicions in the future.
This is preparing for a rainy day.
After hearing his analysis, the three Jindans did not refute it for a while.
They really couldn't be truly sure until they got confirmation from the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit.
Speaking of which, Zhu Xuanji had entered the Immortal Palace many times and tried to contact the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit many times, but without success.
In this situation, Ning Zhuo insisted that it was okay to risk his life and face death.
Zhou Nongying suddenly laughed and said to Ning Jiufan beside him: "Brother Ning, your Ning family has indeed produced a talented person. It is really enviable."
Ning Jiufan quickly said modestly: "No, no, compared with the nobles Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu, Ning Zhu is still far behind."
"He has some insight into the situation, but don't be fooled by his courageous argument. He is actually greedy and only wants to get a reward."
Ning Zhuo's eyes lit up and he immediately revealed a flattering smile: "Hehehe, ancestor, I'm not just doing this for myself."
“I am contributing to the family.”
"Look, I'm in such a dangerous situation now. Can you give me some more means of self-defense?"
"Can you bear to see your family's descendants being murdered by that vicious criminal?"
Ning Jiufan pointed at Ning Zhuo and scolded with a smile: "Look, look, this is the good descendant of my Ning family. I was not mistaken."
Zhou Nongying and Zhu Xuanji also laughed when they heard it, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
Ning Jiufan continued, "Last time, I gave you many talismans to protect you, and I didn't take them back."
"What else do you want this time?"
"You are indeed making contributions to the family, but the family will definitely reward you based on your merits, and you will definitely get your share!"
Ning Zhuo quickly said, "I actually want to split up the family, ancestor, can I split up the family?"
"I don't really expect any reward based on merit! If the master can reward me based on my merit, it would be good enough if he doesn't accuse me of a crime."
Ning Jiufan was immediately furious: "How dare you!"
He was about to say something reprimanding when Zhou Nongying beside him suddenly burst into laughter and interrupted him.
Zhou Nongying turned worry into joy.
Just now, he saw Ning Zhuo's excellence and felt worried.
This made Zhou Nongying feel a little threatened and uncomfortable.
But now he saw: Ning Zhuo exposed the shortcomings of the Ning family and spoke out the contradictions between the branch and the main branch without any scruples.
This made Zhou Nongying start to look forward to the scene in the future where Ning Zhuo and the main lineage would fall out.
After Zhou Nongying laughed a few times, he took out a magic weapon from his storage belt and threw it directly to Ning Zhuo.
This is a handkerchief.
There were countless chaotic patterns without any regular pattern drawn on the handkerchief.
But in fact, it just looks irregular.
Zhou Nongying introduced: "This is the Four-Direction Inverted Array. When you are in danger, you only need to throw it out and use it. Perhaps, it can help you gain a crucial chance of survival."
After Ning Zhuo took it, he was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude.
Ning Jufan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He knew that Zhou Nongying was trying to flatter him, but on the surface, he still had to speak and express his gratitude to Zhou Nongying.

Zhu Xuanji flew down to the ground with a smile on his face, took a few steps and came to Ning Zhuo's side.
"You are indeed a meritorious official."
"The repair team has made great progress in recent times, thanks to your generous sharing of experience with them."
"Well, let me check it out for you."
Ning Zhuo snorted in his heart, knowing full well Zhu Xuanji's suspicion. But on the surface, he showed a very happy expression and actively cooperated with Zhu Xuanji.
Zhu Xuanji placed his palm on Ning Zhuo's back and cast a spell, with a faint golden light flashing in his eyes.
After some inspection, Zhu Xuanji confirmed that his own surveillance methods had not undergone any changes.
Only then did he feel relieved.
Ning Zhuo looked at Zhu Xuanji eagerly, "Master Zhu, we are duty-bound to investigate the truth and find any clues about the real murderer. We will do our utmost, regardless of life or death."
"From the current perspective, I have risked my life to test the clinic - there should be no real murderer in the clinic."
After a pause, Ning Zhuo changed the subject: "But I think the clinic is only temporarily safe."
"The monsters are rampant right now. If the villains want to earn merit, they just need to kill a large number of monsters. It is much more convenient and faster than before."
"If he really has mastered some shortcut or loophole and can join the clinic, then we will be in trouble!"
“However, whenever I think about how important Lava Fairy Palace is, and how I have the opportunity to contribute to my family and make a difference for the Nandou Nation, my heart is filled with motivation, and my blood seems to be boiling. I…”
"Okay, okay." Zhu Xuanji waved his hand, showing a helpless look, and interrupted Ning Zhuo's words.
"I know what you are going to say and I understand what you mean."
"I'll give this to you as a reward for your recent good performance."
As he said this, he threw something out.
Ning Zhuo quickly took it and took a closer look. It was a crystal.
The crystal is completely transparent and relatively heavy, as if it were made of pure glass without a trace of impurities.
Ning Zhu was surprised and exclaimed: "This is a top-grade crystal!"
Zhu Xuanji said, "This crystal originally contained natural spiritual power of ice, but I have used it up."
“But it’s still extremely valuable!”
"This is because any top-grade crystal stone will automatically absorb spiritual energy from the outside to replenish itself."
"However, the top-grade spirit stones of the ice attribute can only replenish the spirit power of the ice attribute."
"Don't you like making mechanisms? This top-grade crystal is a natural mana pool, which is very suitable for you to use."
"However, if you want to replenish its ice mana, you will have to spend a little more time in an environment like Fire Persimmon Mountain and Lava Fairy Palace."
Ning Zhuo Liansheng thanked him, holding the top-quality crystal in one hand and the array plate handkerchief in the other, and looked at Ning Jushun eagerly.
He didn't say anything, but his eyes said it all.
Zhou Nongying and Zhu Xuanji also looked at Ning Jushan.
Ning Jiufan coughed and said expressionlessly, "If you are worried about the reward system, then I will tell you. This time, the reward system will be presided over by me personally. Are you satisfied?"
Ning Zhuo quickly expressed his satisfaction and was about to continue speaking.
Ning Jufan turned around and flew away from here.
Zhu Xuanji and Zhou Nongying each laughed and flew away.
The three Jindan monks flew out of Ning Zhuo's sight, and the latter then exhaled a breath of foul air barely perceptible.
He had already anticipated such a scene.
Sun Lingtong’s reminder to him made sense.
If he had used those three drops of "Shangshanruoshui" in the intensive care unit just now, it is possible that the three Jindan monks would have replanted monitoring methods on him.
Ning Zhuo put the handkerchief array plate and top-grade crystal into his storage belt.
It seemed that every time, he could get some benefits from the Jindan Patriarch.
Ning Zhuo knew the reason very well.
"The potential and ability I have demonstrated have made the Golden Core Ancestors believe that there will definitely be a place for me in the future Fire Persimmon Immortal City."
"Whether they are motivated by investment or by the intention of suppressing the Ning family and stirring up internal strife in the Ning family, they all tend to win me over when I am still a nobody."
"After all, at this stage, the cost of winning over is the lowest. When I reach the foundation-building stage, things will be different."
Ning Zhuo returned to his residence.
I unexpectedly discovered that there was an extra jade slip on the bedside.
After checking and browsing the contents, he discovered that the jade slip actually came from Ning Jiufan.
In the jade slip, Ning Jufan specially left a message for Ning Zhuo, telling him: This book of talisman annotations is his experience in studying the Ning family talismans, so Ning Zhuo can read it secretly. Don't say what you shouldn't say.
Ning Zhuo understood what Ning Jufan meant.
On the one hand, he just kept his face in front of Zhu Xuanji and Zhou Nongying and did not directly give Ning Zhuo some rewards. This jade slip is considered as compensation.
On the other hand, he was also worried that Ning Zhuo would take advantage of the situation and spread his jade slip around to enhance Ning Zhuo's prestige in the Ning family.
Ning Jufan's worries were not unnecessary.
If it weren't for the words Ning Juefan left behind, Ning Zhuo would really have planned to do so.
Ning Zhuo put away the jade slip.
The stuff is good, but he currently has no time and energy to study it.
