Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 119: Another Gift, Rising Status

Another nine months passed.

That day Ning Zhongjiu came to Xiaozhu Island again.

Still in that pavilion.

Ning Zhongjiu looked at the ten pill bottles placed on the stone table.

In each pill bottle there are two pills that look like jade, which are the Yulong Pills.

Even someone as calm as Ning Zhongjiu couldn't help but laugh out loud at this moment.

He looked at Ning Fa, not hiding his admiration, and said with a smile: "Xiao Fa, you are indeed a genius in alchemy. In just two years, you have not only completely mastered the Yulong Pill, but now you have stabilized the success rate of this pill to 50%. It is a blessing for the family to have you."

In response to Ning Zhongjiu's high praise, Ning Fa responded with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

Ning Zhongjiu looked at Liu Qinghui who was standing quietly at the side, and said with a relaxed expression: "Qinghui, you have done well. Recently, you have mastered the success rate of Yulong Pill to 30%. It seems that Ning Fa did not keep it to himself and passed on his refining experience to you. You should thank him."

Liu Qinghui nodded slightly, turned to look at Ning Fa, and thanked him softly.

Ningfa's smile suddenly became a little stiff.

He knew his own business and he didn't tell Liu Qinghui about his refining experience at all.

After all, this matter involves a scroll, and he can't just tell Liu Qinghui that there is something wrong with the recipe, so he has to do it his own way.

In other words, Liu Qinghui relied entirely on that problematic pill recipe.

He mastered the Yulong Pill and achieved a 30% success rate.

This is really incredible.

This made Ning Fa think of the half jade bead again, and he guessed that this might be the help of the jade bead.

However, Liu Qinghui did not tell the truth. Instead, she followed Ning Zhongjiu's words and really created the situation that it was Ning Fa who taught her.

Ning Fa was a little confused about what this woman was thinking.

At this time, Ning Zhongjiu looked at Ning Fa with burning eyes.

He exclaimed: "Xiao Fa, I didn't expect that you not only made such great progress in refining Yulong Dan, but also did not give up on cultivation. In a short period of time, you advanced from the fifth level of Qi training to the sixth level of Qi training."

"And I see that you have a strong aura. In terms of mana, I'm afraid that ordinary cultivators in the late stage of Qi training are not as good as you. That [Yuan Lei Jue] is indeed a top-grade Xuan-level technique, which is indeed extraordinary."

Ning Fa said modestly: "Third Elder, you are too kind. It was just luck. After all, there is abundant spiritual energy here and sufficient supply of elixirs."

He said it was luck, but in reality it was not luck at all.

In the past two years, alchemy only took up a small amount of his time, and more time was spent on cultivation.

Because of his Great Five Elements Thunder Body, he made rapid progress in the practice of the Ancient Source Thunder Sutra.

As for the body refining that restricted him, with the continuous supply of spiritual materials from Wei Shiqin, he had been refining the Nine Revolutions Purple Yuan Powder to assist in his body refining.

Therefore, his progress in body refining was very fast, which allowed him to advance to a higher level in a short period of time.

If you go further, you will be able to break through to the later stage of Qi training.

And his overall strength also increased dramatically.

If he attacks with all his strength now, Ning Zonglie probably won't be able to hold out for more than a few moves.

Liu Qinghui on the side was also looking at Ning Fa quietly.

There was also a hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

I can’t understand how Ning Fa could improve his cultivation so quickly while making such fast progress in refining the Yulong Pill.

Ning Zhongjiu glanced at Ning Fa again and suddenly asked, "Have you also learned the body-refining technique?"

Ning Fa's mind raced, knowing that the abundant Qi and blood in his body would hardly be hidden from the eyes of a foundation-building cultivator.

But he had already prepared an explanation, and said calmly, "Yes, I got a lower-grade Xuan-level body-refining technique in Tianshui Market before, and I also took some time to practice it during this period."

Ning Zhongjiu smiled and said, "Find time to practice? But I see that the Qi and blood in your body are so strong that I'm afraid that even a physical practitioner of the same level would have a hard time catching up with you."

Seeing Ning Fa opening his mouth to speak, Ning Zhongjiu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I just asked a few questions. Among all the successful cultivators of my generation, which one doesn't have some opportunities?"

After saying that, Ning Zhongjiu suddenly changed the subject and asked, "I heard that you have officially signed up to participate in this competition for the throne and will represent your branch?" Ning Fa nodded calmly.

There was a sudden silence.

Liu Qinghui, who was standing with her head bowed, had a strange look in her eyes.

She knew very well that this competition for the throne could be said to be a deep thorn in the relationship between Ning Fa and the third elder.

At the beginning, Ning Fa's father, Ning Zhiyuan, had a good chance of winning a direct lineage spot in the previous session.

It was because Ning Zhiyuan's opponent Ning Jiannan obtained two extremely powerful top-grade magical weapons from Ning Zhongjiu that he was able to narrowly defeat Ning Zhiyuan in the end.

Now the competition for succession is being held again, and Ning Fa has also signed up to participate.

Obviously he wanted to make up for his father's regret.

This exposed the thorn in the relationship between Ning Fa and Ning Zhongjiu.

If it were in the past, Ning Zhongjiu might not have cared at all.

However, with the potential Ning Fa has shown now, whether in cultivation or alchemy, it is eye-catching.

This made the family's top leaders pay attention to Ning Fa again.

This also made Ning Zhongjiu unable to ignore it.

Ning Zhongjiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his right hand.

A black light flashed in his hands, and a pair of small black boxing gloves appeared.

The boxing gloves were covered with spikes, revealing a special kind of beauty amidst their ferocious looks, with black light flickering like breathing.

An extremely powerful spiritual pressure emanated from the gloves.

It has surprisingly reached the level of a top-grade magical weapon.

Ning Zhongjiu said calmly: "Few people know that I am actually a physical practitioner. This pair of obsidian boxing gloves has been with me for many years and has helped me kill many powerful enemies. Now I give it to you, hoping that it can help you win good results in this competition."

Ning Fa was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhongjiu gave him another treasure.

But the significance this time is obviously different from the previous gift of the Qingning Treasure Mirror.

That time it was mainly a reward for his outstanding talent in alchemy.

This time it's very obvious.

Last time, Ning Zhongjiu gave a treasure to Ning Jiannan.

Now he gave treasure to Ningfa again.

Ning Zhongjiu was obviously trying to make up for the defeat of his father Ning Zhiyuan last time.

Ning Fa was silent for a moment, then took the pair of black boxing gloves and said, "Thank you, Third Elder."

Ning Zhongjiu's expression relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.

Then he said, "Since you are going to participate in the competition to seize the throne, the matter of refining the Yulong Pill will be temporarily handed over to Qinghui."

After a pause, Ning Zhongjiu said calmly, "In view of your outstanding performance in alchemy, I will report to the family elders council when I return, and directly upgrade your alchemist rank to quasi-second-level alchemist, and promote you to the deputy head of the alchemy hall, on the same level as Wei Chengzong. The official appointment will be issued soon."

When these words were spoken, Ning Fa and Liu Qinghui were both shocked.

Liu Qinghui looked at Ning Zhongjiu in shock. She obviously didn't expect Ning Zhongjiu to raise Ning Fa's status so high.

Unexpectedly, he directly surpassed the first-level top-grade alchemist and was promoted to a quasi-second-level alchemist, and was even promoted to deputy hall master!
Doesn’t Ning Zhongjiu know that Ning Fa is from the Second Elder’s faction?

At this moment, Liu Qinghui's eyes flashed, and she suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that Ning Zhongjiu is trying to win over Ning Fa in this way?
Ning Fa instantly thought of this possibility.

However, facing the olive branch extended by Ning Zhongjiu, he had to accept it and immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Third Elder. I will work hard in the future!"

A smile appeared on Ning Zhongjiu's face, and then he turned into a streak of light and flew away in an instant.
