Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1063 Finally Reunited with Mother and Daughter
At this moment, the Divine Firmament Dharma Image transformed back into Ning Fa's figure, his face slightly pale.

In their recent exchange, he had a slight advantage.

However, his true strength should be slightly inferior to Yan Jingchen's; he only has the advantage because of the suppression of his Five Elements Thunder Body.

Yan Jingchen originally planned to use a powerful secret technique, but his Nascent Soul helper was defeated too quickly, so he could only flee afterward.

At this moment, Tianbao still looked calm and composed, as if he hadn't exerted much effort at all, which made Ningfa feel that the high reward he paid was well worth it.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Tianbao." Ning Fa bowed in thanks.

"Our relationship is purely employer-employee, so it's only right that I help. You don't need to be so polite," Tianbao Immortal Merchant said calmly, his hands behind his back.

Ning Fa looked in the direction where the two disappeared, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.

Both of them should still be alive, including Yan Jingchen.

In fact, Tianbao had just sent him a telepathic message to confirm whether he wanted to chase after them and kill them completely.

The problem is that, according to his employment agreement with Tianbao, the payment he had previously made was only for Tianbao to protect him.

In other words, once he is out of danger, Tianbao has the right to stop.

If you want Tianbao to actively hunt down others, the price will be calculated separately.

Tianbao had just given him an estimated price for killing two people, which startled Ningfa.

Because of this price, Tianbao could be employed for another fifteen years.

Therefore, after weighing the options, Ning Fa had no choice but to give up. It would be too wasteful to consume a large amount of source points in order to completely kill these two people, since he would need Tianbao's protection for a long time to come.

"Fellow Daoist Tianbao, I see that your strength far surpasses that of the Nascent Soul cultivator opposite you. Could it be that he has some other means that could threaten you?"

Ning Fa asked tactfully, but he had some doubts in his heart, wondering if Tianbao was trying to raise the price on the spot.

"Don't underestimate Nascent Soul cultivators. Defeating them and killing them are two different things, and the amount of vital energy I need to consume is naturally very different."

Although I am stronger than that half-demon god, he might still be able to hurt me in a desperate fight.

The damage that Nascent Soul cultivator inflicted on me might even be greater, so the reward should naturally be higher.

Tianbao Xianshang said calmly, his eyes seeming to say: I didn't ask for a penny more than that price.

Ning Fa nodded, thinking to himself that in Tianbao's eyes, Yan Jingchen, who was still in the Nascent Soul stage, posed a greater threat than that Nascent Soul cultivator. He truly deserved to be the reincarnation of the Daoist Yanyuan.

He couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Fellow Daoist Tianbao, since we'll likely be working together for a long time to come, could you tell me about your background, such as your real name?"

Tianbao Immortal Merchant refused without hesitation, saying, "This is not in our employment agreement, so I refuse to answer."

"Then can you tell me if you come from the spirit world?" Ningfa asked again.

Tianbao Immortal Merchant glanced at him indifferently: "I refuse to answer."

Ning Fa, however, was not giving up. His eyes darted around and he asked again, "If I can continue to hire you in the future, and I happen to be ascending to the Upper Realm, will you come with me?"

This time, Tianbao Xianshang's expression finally changed slightly.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "The time is not yet right for me to leave, and if you want to take me away, you will have to pay another price, which you probably can't afford right now."

Ning Fa became even more curious after hearing this, but seeing that Tianbao Immortal Merchant seemed unwilling to talk about it, he had no choice but to give up.

After thinking for a moment, he asked another question: "Fellow Daoist Tianbao, may I exchange some other spiritual items with you? Such as those listed in the jade slip you just wrote."

Tianbao Immortal Merchant nodded: "Sure, but you can only exchange those items with top-grade water spirit stones or star river essence dew."

And you can't exchange too much, because I need to keep some of it for myself.

Ning Fa smiled upon hearing this. Although the cost of tracing the source of the Star River Essence Dew was high, he could still afford the top-grade water spirit stones.

He then tentatively asked, "Given our relationship, could we make an exception?"

Upon hearing this, Tianbao Immortal Merchant gave him a strange look and said, "Are you joking with me?"

Ning Fa chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself that this Heavenly Treasure Immortal Merchant wasn't entirely like a block of wood.

At this moment, he flipped his right hand and took out the elder token that Qing Hong had given him. Looking at the token, a cold glint flashed in Ning Fa's eyes.

He originally intended to discard it directly, but then he thought about it again and took out a third-tier puppet beast resembling a black panther from his storage ring.

The puppet swallowed the token whole, turning it into a black streak that vanished in an instant.

Ning Fa then had another thought, and a white light flashed in front of him, revealing a handsome young man with messy hair, wearing white armor, and looking sleepy: "Boss, why did you call me out?"

"You fly the fastest, of course I'm calling you, Xiao Bing, hurry, time is of the essence."

Ning Fa said something, and he wasn't exaggerating. At this moment, Xiao Bing's speed was so fast that he would have to fly at full speed to catch up.

Xiao Bing was still a little sleepy, but when she glanced at Luo Feixuan, who was as beautiful as a fairy, next to Ning Fa, her eyes lit up and she pounded her chest loudly: "My Xiao Bing's speed is unparalleled in the world!"

After saying that, he looked at Luo Feixuan with a fawning expression: "This fairy sister, my name is Xiaobing, and I am my master's most reliable spirit pet. May I ask who you are?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ning Fa had already given him a hard knock on the head.

Xiao Bing immediately covered her head, and in a burst of spiritual light, she transformed into a magnificent, ice-blue divine bird several meters long.

Ning Fa looked at Luo Feixuan's strange expression and couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Sorry, I didn't discipline her properly."

Tianbao Immortal Merchant glanced at Xiaobing a few more times, and then the group flew onto Xiaobing's back.

With a flap of its wings, Xiao Bing sped off at an incredible speed toward the northwest.

Ning Fa also breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Fairy Yuanxing once again in his heart.

Just as she predicted, she found a powerful backer in the Vast Sky Sea, someone even more formidable than an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

In this way, even if those Nascent Soul cultivators knew that he had obtained an opportunity from the Abyss Heavenly Pool, he wouldn't be so afraid.

However, Ningfa remained calm and composed, because this did not mean he could rest easy.

After all, he might not be facing just one or two Nascent Soul cultivators. If they all came swarming towards him, even with Tianbao as his bodyguard, he might not be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, Tianbao was there, so he had the leverage to negotiate with them. As for how to negotiate, he would have to think about it carefully.

To be on the safe side, Ningfa did not travel to the large immortal city in the Haoqiong Sea area to use the teleportation array.

They flew northwest for more than half a month, leaving the Haoqiong Sea and arriving at the desolate sea in its northwest.

At this moment, Ningfa's mental connection with Heiyu was significantly stronger.

More than ten days passed, and Ning Fa and the others had ventured deep into the desolate sea and arrived at a special sea area.

Although the place appeared no different from any other, the group flew tens of thousands of miles without encountering a trace of spiritual energy. All the islands were deserted, and there was no sign of any sea veins. Ning Fa, however, was not alarmed but rather delighted, because this undoubtedly meant that they had arrived at the legendary Thousand Desert Sea.

As its name suggests, this sea area is like a desert for cultivators. Not to mention cultivators, even demonic beasts are hard to find.

As Ningfa ventured deeper into the sea, he discovered that this area was not entirely devoid of spiritual energy.

However, in areas with spiritual energy, the primordial energy of heaven and earth is exceptionally violent, and they are basically filled with all kinds of dangerous celestial phenomena, as well as some ancient battlefield ruins, where ghosts and monsters are rampant.

It's safe to say that even a typical Nascent Soul cultivator would face danger if they ventured deep into this place, let alone other cultivators.

No wonder this desert is sparsely populated.

Ning Fa and the others were not ordinary cultivators, so these dangers were naturally no challenge for them.

Ningfa continued his journey into the depths of the Thousand Desert Sea, relying on his mental connection with Heiyu.

However, they soon encountered trouble. They began to frequently encounter some very powerful illusionary restrictions, some of which even Ningfa found difficult to deal with.

At this moment, Luo Feixuan demonstrated her strength; she could easily break through those powerful illusion restrictions in a short time.

This greatly pleased Ning Fa, and at the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of the formidable abilities of this Moon Chasing Fairy.

In the past few days, the group encountered a particularly powerful illusion barrier, which even Luo Feixuan took more than a day to break.

The scene before them shifted, and the gray, hurricane-filled sky disappeared, replaced by a clear blue sea.

Dozens of miles ahead, a majestic island stands tall, its peaks reflecting the myriad rays of sunlight, resembling a legendary fairyland that inspires awe.

At the same time, an extremely pure spiritual energy rushed over, creating a stark contrast with the desolate Thousand Desert Sea that had been there before.

"I never imagined that such a spiritual island would be hidden deep within the Thousand Desert Sea."

Even Luo Feixuan couldn't help but reveal a strange light in her eyes, and said with some shock.

"That incredibly powerful illusion barrier was clearly designed to protect this spirit island."

To be able to sense such astonishing spiritual energy from this distance, the spiritual veins on this island must be of a very high grade.

Tianbao Xianshang remained calm, as if his heart was completely undisturbed.

Ning Fa's eyes were now brimming with barely concealed excitement, for his mental connection with Hei Yu had become extremely strong, clearly indicating that Hei Yu was on this island.

Unable to contain his excitement, he instantly transformed into lightning and took the lead.

Soon, Ning Fa's divine sense suddenly caught a glimpse of it, and he was immediately jolted and flew in that direction.

at the same time.

From a shallow beach on the southeastern edge of this sacred island came a clear, melodious child's voice.

"Hey Da, hurry up and swim! If you dare to slack off, I'm going to spank you later!"

As the waves surged, a mighty blue dragon rode the wind and waves, swimming forward at an incredible speed.

It was only a few feet long, with two horns just sprouting on its head, clearly a young dragon, but it already had the cultivation of the early stage of the third rank.

This shows that even among the dragon clan, its bloodline is extraordinary.

I'm afraid even a typical mid-stage third-tier demon beast might not be its match.

However, the dragon's huge eyes were filled with a pitiful expression.

Because a little girl was sitting on its head.

It wears a feather skirt, and its two tender, white hands, like lotus roots, grasp its two dragon horns. Its delicate, exquisitely carved face, as if born of the essence of heaven and earth, is full of childlike smiles, as if it is playing with a novel toy.

What's truly baffling is that this girl, who looks to be only seven or eight years old, exudes a powerful spiritual pressure at the Core Formation level, and there's a mysterious pattern resembling a nine-colored spiritual flower on her forehead.

Just then, the girl who was laughing and playing seemed to sense something and immediately lifted the dragon horns with both hands: "Big Brother, stop."

The blue dragon obediently stopped immediately.

At that moment, a thunderous sound rang out, and a figure suddenly appeared more than ten feet away—it was Ning Fa.

He stared intently at the exquisitely beautiful little girl, his face filled with overwhelming excitement, and whispered, "Le'er, is that you?"

In fact, Ning Fa already had the answer, because he could clearly feel the blood connection between the little girl and his daughter.

On the sea not far away, a flash of golden light appeared, revealing a figure dressed in a black and gold robe, none other than Hei Yu.

He looked at Ning Fa as he appeared, a hint of pleased smile appearing in his eyes.

The blue dragon beneath the little girl immediately became wary upon seeing the stranger.

Although the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from Ning Fa made it fearful, it still bared its teeth at Ning Fa.

At the same time, it also whimpered twice at the little girl on its body, as if to say that the person coming was powerful and we should run away quickly.

But at this moment, the little girl's big eyes were already filled with tears. A flash of light appeared on her body, and she flew quickly towards Ning Fa. Without hesitation, she threw herself into Ning Fa's arms, hugged his waist tightly, and cried loudly, "Father...you've finally come! Le'er has finally seen you..."

Ning Fa's eyes welled up with tears. He wanted to hug his daughter tightly, but fearing he might hurt her, he held her gently, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Le'er, I'm sorry, Father is late. You and your mother have suffered so much these past years..."

"Waaah, Le'er isn't afraid of hardship, because we've finally waited for our father..." the little girl sobbed.

Ning Fa choked up as well, gently patting Le'er's back: "Le'er, Father will never let you suffer again!"

"Woooooooo..."

It took a while for the father and daughter to calm down from the excitement of seeing each other again.

Le'er wiped away her tears, looked up at Ning Fa carefully, and giggled, "Le'er has imagined what her father looks like countless times, and now she has finally seen him."

Ningfa stroked her head, his eyes full of affection.

At this moment, he naturally noticed his daughter's incredible cultivation level. She was already at the Core Formation stage at such a young age, and the mysterious nine-colored spiritual flower on her forehead was also eye-catching.

Clearly, his daughter is no ordinary person, which is perhaps why both Yuanchamen and Tianli wanted to take her away.

"Master." With a flash of golden light, Hei Yu arrived in front of Ning Fa and said respectfully.

Ning Fa looked at him carefully, then patted him on the shoulder: "Hei Yu, you've worked hard."

After saying that, he looked at Le'er and asked, "Le'er, where is your mother?"

As soon as Ning Fa finished speaking, he suddenly looked up ahead as if he had sensed something.

A graceful figure could be seen in the distance, drifting gracefully towards them.
