Ning Zhuo's Early Wisdom (Apology to All Readers!)

(This is my first time doing a monthly ticket extra, I'm completely confused.)

(I posted it in the "Related Works" section before, and many people didn't get update notifications. Now I'm posting it directly after the main text.)

(I just learned that many authors have been tricked before, I'm sweating profusely now!)

The massive convoy of the Ning Family's entire clan, migrating south, arrived in the southern fields along with the arrival of March.

Spring was in full bloom.

Large swathes of rapeseed flowers were in full bloom, and under the spring breeze, the golden flowers were like a layer of golden light on a green ocean, bringing infinite hope.

The convoy moved forward, making a rumbling sound.

A middle-aged man dismounted his ride and jumped onto a Mechanism Carriage in the convoy.

He pushed the door open in a hurry.

"Madam, look what this is?" The middle-aged man took out a pill, as if presenting a treasure.

His wife was six months pregnant, her belly high and round, and she was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, resting.

The carriage windows were closed.

The middle-aged man input Magic Power from a distance, lighting up a Spirit Lamp on the roof of the carriage.

Under the lamplight, his wife slowly opened her eyes and looked at the pill. She saw that the pill was completely clear, like a Glazed Orb, shimmering with a faint Yellow light.

The wife sniffed slightly with her nostrils, smelling the refreshing and pleasant Pill Fragrance, like the scent of a forest after rain, making one's spirit peaceful and mind transparent.

The wife said in surprise, "This is an Early Wisdom Pill, a top-grade pill. Where did you get it?"

The middle-aged man grinned and said, "Didn't I help the Strong Fist Monk? He cultivates the Buddhist Dao and values Karma, so he insisted on repaying my kindness."

"I told him that my wife is about to give birth, and I hope the master can provide some help for my son's future cultivation."

His wife, however, turned from joy to worry: "Husband, you could have completely used this opportunity, using the master's repayment, to treat your injuries."

"At the very least, you could have asked for a Lotus Seed from the Buddha Gate's Salvation Lotus Throne to improve your Cultivation Talent."

The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, "Forget about me."

"Although my Old Injury causes me pain when it flares up, it won't kill me, at most I'll be uncomfortable for a few days. Even if it's healed, it won't significantly change my Combat Power."

"Even if I get a Lotus Seed, my Cultivation Aptitude will only improve from Middle Grade to Middle Upper Grade. I'm already this old, relying on Middle Upper Grade Immortal Talent, I won't be able to break through the Bottleneck."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man squatted down and gently stroked his beloved wife's belly: "Considering these things, it's better to leave this opportunity to our child!"

"The Main Ingredient of the Early Wisdom Pill is a Wisdom Root from the Bodhi Tree."

His wife sighed softly and nodded slightly, acknowledging her husband's decision.

"Come, take the pill." The middle-aged man stood up and handed over the pill. "I'll circulate my energy to help you digest it."

His wife took the pill, and the gentle Medicinal Power acted on the infant in her belly.

The Early Wisdom Pill can strengthen the spirit, open the Spirit Platform, nourish the Soul, and moisten the Heart Field, allowing one to develop wisdom early and have exceptional intelligence.

Having accomplished this, the middle-aged man was beaming with joy: "That's great, our child got this pill, he'll be able to develop wisdom early. Maybe he can remember everything we say now."

"Next, let's try reciting Cultivation Techniques to him. Who knows, maybe he can cultivate in the womb!"

His wife laughed: "You have a beautiful imagination."

"Even if he can remember every word and every sentence we say, he won't know the meaning."

"Besides, his Body Meridians haven't fully grown yet. If he really starts cultivating, it would be a bad thing."

The middle-aged man grinned: "Of course I know, I'm just joking."

He took his wife's hand: "Ah, only after becoming parents do you know the true heart of parents towards their children."

"Our child hasn't even been born yet, and I can't help but think about him and start worrying about his future."

"I really hope he has good Cultivation Aptitude, the higher the better, not like me."

His wife, however, shook her head: "If he doesn't have Cultivation Aptitude, will I not love him?"

"No, no matter what, he is our child, our flesh and blood."

"I hope he has a certain amount of Cultivation Aptitude, but not too strong."

"Haven't we seen and heard of enough children with amazing talent who died young?"

"I just hope he has a safe and peaceful life."

As they were speaking, an alarm suddenly sounded.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Someone shouted loudly.

The expressions of the couple both changed.

The middle-aged man instructed his wife to stay put and not move, while he himself lifted the door and went out.

The next moment, he saw the world change drastically, with ice winds howling, sharp as thousands of blades cutting through all living beings.

"We're caught in a Great Array!" The middle-aged man was shocked and angry, but forced himself to calm down. He immediately circulated his Magic Power and poured it into his Magic Tool to protect himself. The Mechanism Vehicle beneath him also lit up with various Runes under his wife's control, greatly increasing its defense.

"Who are you?" The Ning Family Old Ancestor, with a stern aura, rose into the sky and shouted angrily.

The attackers remained silent, only controlling the Ice and Snow Great Array to unleash another transformation.

Hailstones the size of fists rained down, covering the sky and earth.

Casualties immediately appeared in the Ning Family's convoy.

The Ning Family Old Ancestor laughed angrily, "Hehe, excellent! Even if you hide your faces, do you think I don't recognize you?"

"Frost Marquis, Absolute Ice Wanderer, it's truly difficult for you to wait until we entered the South Bean Country border before launching the ambush."

Having their identities exposed, Frost Marquis and Absolute Ice Wanderer both appeared.

The former said, "Old Ning, you left my North Wind Country and brought your entire clan to seek refuge in the South Bean Country. You should have expected this moment."

The Ning Family Old Ancestor shouted, "I had already made it clear to your King and left behind a magic treasure, reaching an agreement. Your North Wind Royal Family has gone back on your word. After this battle, this old man will surely spread the news throughout the world!"

Absolute Ice Wanderer then sneered, "That's why I'm here. Old Ning, rest assured, after this battle, even if rumors spread, it will only be me, Absolute Ice Wanderer, seeking personal revenge."

A great battle erupted.

The Ning Family Old Ancestor was already outnumbered and had to look after his family, quickly falling into a disadvantage.

Sensing something was wrong, the Ning Family Old Ancestor did not hesitate to detonate a magic treasure, blasting a temporary passage in the array.

"Go quickly!!" The Ning Family Old Ancestor roared.

The situation was critical. The Ning Family Patriarch personally led the team, trying to take as many clansmen as possible to escape through the passage.

Snow wolves, condensed from ice and snow, formed into packs and chased after them.

The passage was shrinking, but more than half of the Ning Family clansmen were still trapped within the array.

"Don't push, don't push!" People screamed, panicking.

The snow wolves charged into the crowd, causing a bloody slaughter.

In the chaos, the Ning Family Young Patriarch and two others squeezed into the middle-aged couple's mechanism vehicle.

"Brother Ning Zhong!" The Young Patriarch, Ning Xiaoren, bowed to the middle-aged man with a face full of panic, "The passage is about to close. Please lend us your mechanism vehicle for a moment."

However, the mechanism vehicle's power was greatly reduced due to carrying multiple people and being damaged by the ice and snow, causing it to fall behind.

Seeing that they were about to fail to squeeze through and would be sealed inside the array again, the Young Patriarch's two attendants looked at the middle-aged man Ning Zhong, "Brother Ning Zhong is also at the Foundation Establishment Stage. We hope you will get off the vehicle with us to face the enemy!"

His wife exclaimed, "Zhong, don't go!"

Ning Zhong frowned tightly. He was experienced in battle and saw the situation clearly, "If I don't go down to block the enemy, none of us will be able to leave!"

Ning Zhong suddenly turned his head, his eyes flashing with fierce light, staring at the Young Patriarch.

The Young Patriarch's body trembled, and he quickly raised his hand to swear, "Brother Ning Zhong, don't worry. I, Ning Xiaoren, swear that if I can escape this time, I will definitely protect sister-in-law and your beloved son, and I am willing to do my utmost to help your son embark on the path of cultivation!"

Ning Zhong took one last deep, affectionate look at his wife.

His wife's eyes were already red from crying.

"Take good care of our child!"

Ning Zhong gritted his teeth, suddenly turned around, and jumped off the carriage with the Young Patriarch's two attendants.

The snow wolves howled, and the mechanism vehicle stumbled, entering the passage.
