Chapter 12: Commendations

"This cup should be Brother Jingling, the first person in this year, and strive for glory for my class B!"

"That's right, Brother Ling, I respect you!"

"I'm here too, Qingyun, you show your courage this time, but let's all have a long face!"

"Brother Qingyun, don't worry, these are fruit wines, you can't make a mistake!"

"Thank you for your kindness. Ling Qingyun corresponded with everyone one by one: "Today's victory depends on your support!"

"It's clear that we are waiting for us because of the green clouds, and these words will inevitably annoy us!" the teenagers replied with a smile.

The teenagers centered on Ling Qingyun picked up their cups, staggered in the goodwill thanks and wishes, and then raised their necks to drink the clear wine in it, and then sighed, as if they had experienced some kind of glorious ritual, but some people were choked by this strange taste that they had not tasted, and coughed for a while before they came to their senses.

After defeating Lin Qiancheng, Ling Qingyun won the victory in the last three days of the competition, officially establishing the identity of the strongest person in this year.

"This fruit wine tastes quite similar to fruit juice, but there is an indescribable weirdness, why do you like to drink it so much?" The girl in the green dress sat beside Ling Qingyun and frowned, as if she was quite unhappy.

"The joy of drinking is not only the taste of wine, but also a culture. Ling Qingyun picked up the girl's soft hand and laughed softly, the girl's face turned red, and she even broke free with her hand, but no one noticed the small movements under the table.

"That's right, this winter, drinking is good to drive away the cold!" A young man smashed his mouth, revealing an intoxicated look: "But compared to this fruit wine, it is still our strong wine that is more enjoyable to drink, and my grandfather and I have to drink a cup every day when it is cold!"

"Your father is so open-minded?" The young man on the side showed envy, "My father never allowed me to drink. ”

"My grandfather not only allows me to drink, but also pulls me to drink! I'm like this over there, otherwise I won't be able to stifle the snowy night in the middle of winter!" The previous young man smiled: "The winter here in Lizhou is much warmer, but this humidity is really unpleasant!"

"It seems that we also have to learn to drink, otherwise if we go to the northern country in the future, we will have to freeze to death!" A young man joked and caused laughter, you must know that everyone continues to cultivate, even if they don't step into the Golden Body Realm, it will not be a problem to mix with the peak of the Stone Spirit Realm, where will they be afraid of the general cold when they reach that realm?

"This is a good idea, it seems that wine is really an omnipotent treasure, you have to learn to drink it since you were a child!" A laugh was inserted into the laughter, but it made the teenagers' smiles stiffen, and the originally lively bamboo building was silent in an instant, and the needles could be heard.

A middle-aged man in a white robe with an embroidered moon leaned against the door, looking at the teenagers at the banquet with a smile, this smile made the teenagers sweat coldly, without him, this man was the class teacher of Class B, Lu Xiong.

"You guys are really good at gathering people to drink here, and forcibly pouring wine?" Lu Xiong walked into the door, and glanced at a certain young man who had hardplayed his companion and made his scalp tingle, and many teenagers swallowed their saliva when they saw the serious expression of the gentleman, and the joyful atmosphere of Linchun was blown away by the cold winter wind.

The loose rules of the Nanming Academy did not prohibit alcohol, but this class guide seemed to be quite allergic to this, and the previous offender could be severely punished--running a hundred miles with a weight in one breath, even a thousand forging realms could not bear it! The torture of a handstand with a whip was equally painful, and a certain chubby boy shed tears of remorse when he thought of it.

It is rumored that Lu Xiong was the head of the army before he became Mr. Nanming, so the severity was unusual, and the students in Class B were all taught.

"Sir, we have had a ...... today" As a representative of Class B, Ling Qingyun, who was toasted today, had to stand up, today is indeed against Mr.'s rules, or take the initiative to admit his mistake to avoid Mr. being even more angry.

"What are you?" Lu Xiong still kept a straight face, stopped Ling Qingyun's defense and stared at the teenagers more and more nervously, before he jumped out of the next sentence: "This time you did a good job!"

Seeing that his husband turned into a smile, the teenagers almost couldn't believe their eyes, sir, he was angry? But seeing Lu Xiong walking in front of Ling Qingyun, he smiled at him and bowed his head: "Winning the first place in this year, even my face also has a long face, in addition, everyone is also fighting for seven points in alchemy, equestrian, etc., it is not easy, it is not easy, it is time to celebrate." Let's make a special case for today's lunch!"

"Thank you, sir!" Hearing this, the young men hurriedly thanked them, and at the same time they were relieved that they were finally not happy and sad.

"However, it's not an example!" Lu Xiong said with a solemn expression, and the teenagers also responded in succession, among which Zhou Chi moved a chair: "Please take a seat, sir!"

"You kid respects the teacher, if only you didn't mess with those bad things!" Lu Xiong sat down with a smile and looked around the table: "It's quite rich, huh? That's not a spiritual egg, Mr. Zhou usually watches those old hens so tightly that he doesn't even touch them, and he is willing to sell them?"

"It was sold to us by senior Zhang Qing, who was in the senior stage, and said that it was the dean's order. The young man who presided over the banquet sneered.

"The principal's orders? Mr. Zhou is going to crook his neck again this time. Lu Xiong couldn't help laughing, the teenagers didn't know much about the relationship between the dean and Mr. Zhou, but they also laughed, the spirit fire egg is the most high-end dish on this table, so thank you to the dean!

Lu Xiong is a strict teacher on weekdays, so that the students have been taught well, but today he also put down the shelf, with the teenagers to eat meat and drink wine, soon got together, to be full of wine and food, Lu Xiong, who drank more than anyone else, drunkenly opened his mouth: "Today is not to come to you to eat and drink, this time the lower grade B class three times scored a total of seventeen, the second in the same class, it is because I am the class guide, on behalf of the college to commend it." ”

"Who is the second in the same class?who is the first class?Is it Class A?" The teenagers were obviously more concerned about the glory than the awards, and Lu Xiong smiled closely: "Class C." ”

"Zhang Ziwu of Class C, didn't he lose to Qingyun, Lin Qiancheng, Meng Shanzhi, Song Xin and Legge to get the sixth place?" everyone was surprised.

"It is true that Class C only scored five points in the competition, but they scored fourteen points in other categories. Lu Xiong's next words stunned the teenagers.

"Then they're really versatile. Zhou Chi muttered.

"You don't have to be discouraged, there are many variables in this session, except for the dark horse of Song Xin in the competition, there are also many outstanding performers in various duels, although the total score of our class is second, the competition is the first, and the glory is not worse than Class C!" Lu Xiong smiled while taking out a row of exquisite wooden boxes from his bag: "Yes, those who score this time will be rewarded with a high-grade spirit stone!"

With that, Lu Xiong waved his sleeves, and an invisible force opened a total of twenty wooden boxes together, and pieces of stones of different sizes, colors, and shapes emitted a charming light in the room, some seemed to be unsheathed, unstoppable, and some were misty and misty, as mysterious as a nebula, and some looked simple, but faintly brought people a sense of earth-like heaviness...... As soon as everyone looked at it, they understood that these twenty wooden boxes were all extremely precious high-grade spirit stones.

"Ling Qingyun, Xu Lingfeng, Yao Shuwen...... Each of the eight of you can choose one piece each, but the value of these spirit stones is also different, so you can consider more when choosing. Lu Xiong said with a smile.

The spirit stone is a treasure bred by the essence of heaven and earth, which can help people absorb the yuan power and refine the body. It's just that the price of the spirit stone is also extremely expensive, the price of an ordinary low-grade spirit stone is between two gold and ten gold, and the commoners have to save for several years to afford a cheap one, and the high-grade spirit stone is a treasure worth ten thousand gold, under normal circumstances, Ling Qingyun and these sons of the family only use a better medium-grade spirit stone to cultivate, after all, it is difficult to completely absorb the energy of the high-grade spirit stone with their cultivation, even if the family background is strong, they are not willing to waste it easily.

And now, Nanming Academy has taken out eight high-grade spirit stones as a reward in one go? It is worthy of being the first college in the south that has been valued by the imperial court and supported by many families, and it is really rich!

"Lingfeng, you have to be the last one to be fair!" someone shouted, Xu Lingfeng won the second place in the feng shui competition this time, and people who are good at observing feng shui often have the most keen judgment on the value of spirit stones.

"Good. Xu Lingfeng was not annoyed, and nodded with a smile.

"Brother Ling, you are the main scorer, and you should be the first to pick. The other scorers looked at Ling Qingyun together, and Ling Qingyun didn't shirk, as if he hadn't thought about it, he picked up a wooden box: "I'll just choose this one." ”

The spirit stone in this wooden box is shining with golden light, and it is the most dazzling of all spirit stones, but everyone knows that the value of the spirit stone may not be proportional to the brightness, so they can't help but persuade them: "Brother Ling wants to stop thinking about it?"

"No, I feel the best relationship with it. Ling Qingyun smiled and caressed the golden spirit stone, but it aroused the sharp energy on the surface of the spirit stone, so that he immediately hung the color in his palm, Ling Qingyun was not annoyed, and let the blood drip down the spirit stone, forming a burst of red golden mist on its surface, this was the way to make him more closely related to the spirit stone, so it was not suitable to change to other spirit stones.

"Then how do I pick next?" a young girl stood up with a smile and pointed to the translucent purple-black spirit stone: "This Yin spirit stone shouldn't have anyone to fight with me, right?"

The others all shook their heads, among the eight elemental attributes, there were the fewest cultivators who cultivated the Yin Xing, and no matter how precious this Yin Spirit Stone was, it didn't have much to do with them.

With the beginning, the other teenagers also made a move, each of them selected the most favorite spirit stone treasures and hid them, and Lu Xiong put the remaining twelve boxes of spirit stones into the bag, and the other teenagers stopped looking at it unsatisfactorily.

"Sir, Ling Er...... Qingyun won the first place this time, isn't there a special reward?" At this moment, Jin Xuanxuan, who was sitting next to Ling Qingyun, raised her little hand and asked, the teenagers nodded when they heard this, Ling Qingyun took the first merit, and he really deserved a better reward.

"When did I say no?" Lu Xiong looked at Jin Xuanxuan with a smile, and then turned his gaze to Ling Qingyun: "Don't you like to read?" I asked the dean for instructions this time, allowing you to enter the fourth floor of the Library Pavilion to study for three days, and enter the fifth floor of the Library Pavilion to study for one day!" Lu Xiong looked at Ling Qingyun and smiled: "Of course, if you want other rewards, I can also apply for you, spirit stones, pills, materials, cultivation venues, etc., just mention whatever you want!"

"No need, thank you, sir!" Ling Qingyun bowed respectfully to Lu Xiong, this reward was more precious to him than anything else! Lu Xiong had never spoken to him alone, but he knew his thirst for classics, which showed how much this usually strict gentleman actually cared for his students.

It is natural for the student to give a gift to Mr., and Lu Xiong accepted it calmly: "I will go and inform you, you can go to the fourth and fifth floors of the Library Pavilion at any time after tomorrow, and the gentleman there will recognize you." However, time is limited, so it is best to prepare well before studying. ”

Mr. Xie advised. Ling Qingyun clenched his fists and thanked him again.

"It's just a matter of duty. The award has also been distributed. In addition, I have one more thing to announce, all of you listen up!" Lu Xiong turned his gaze to everyone on the table, and he returned to his usual stern posture, which frightened several drunken teenagers to wake up suddenly.

It wasn't until all the students made a gesture of listening to each other that Lu Xiong bowed his head and said: "In January next year, there will be an opportunity for this year's experience, and the venue is Mingyue Island in the South China Sea!"
