Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 14 A bright future
Ningfa's face flashed with anger, but he suppressed his anger. He also knew that there was no point in begging for mercy.

An old fox like Wei Chengzong would not go against the powerful Ning Ruiming for a fallen scion of his family. Saying more would only bring humiliation upon himself.

At this time, Wei Chengzong coughed dryly and said, "Ningfa, I still need to make the elixir. If you have nothing else to do, please leave first."

Ning Fa looked at him expressionlessly, which made Wei Chengzong feel a chill in his heart. Then Ning Fa stood up and left, slowly walking towards the pier.

He frowned, now this problem seemed to have no solution.

Even if he was 100% sure of passing the test, what could he do? Now with Ning Ruiming's mischief, he didn't even have a chance to pass the test.

Unless there is someone else who can speak for him, and this person's status in the family cannot be low, he must be able to overwhelm Ning Ruiming.

But after thinking about it, Ning Fa couldn't think of anyone who would ask to help him, which made him feel heavy in his heart.

At this moment, he saw Ning Zonglie on duty at the dock from afar, and his eyes lit up. Could this person be the one who could do it?

No matter if it works or not, always give it a try.

Ning Fa walked forward quickly, and Ning Zonglie immediately noticed him. He seemed to realize that Ning Fa had something to say to him, so he greeted the other guards and walked towards Ning Fa.

"You came out so soon, you must have failed the test again. I advise you to give up this idea and think about how to please the Fifth Elder and see if you can get her protection in the future."

Ning Zonglie said to Ning Fa unhappily.

Ning Fa shook his head and told Ning Ruiming about his mischief. After that, he looked at Ning Zonglie with anticipation.

Ning Zonglie frowned after hearing this, but after noticing Ning Fa's expectant look, he shook his head and said, "It seems like you want to ask me for help, but it's useless. I can't help you."

Although he didn't hold much hope, Ning Fa couldn't help but look disappointed when he saw Ning Zonglie directly refuse.

Ning Zonglie said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to help you. Based on my friendship with your father, I will definitely help you if I can, but it's useless for me to ask."

"You should be aware of Ning Ruiming's identity. He has been trained by the family as the future chief alchemist. His status is not comparable to mine. Moreover, not only is their lineage the direct lineage, but they also have a close relationship with the Third Elder. It will not have any effect if I, a small member of the Fierce Wind Hall, speak for you."

Ning Fa's heart sank, but he also knew that Ning Zonglie was telling the truth.

But since he couldn't pass the family alchemist assessment, did he really have to accept his fate of becoming Ning Huarong's dual cultivation cauldron?

He was really unwilling to give up. He had finally traveled to this mysterious world of cultivating immortals and possessed that heaven-defying mysterious scroll. He also had complete control over the refining of the Zengyuan Pill.

But now, due to the villain's mischief, there is no way to break the impasse. How can he be willing to accept this?

As for telling the family about the mysterious scroll, Ning Fa would not even consider it.

If he reveals the scroll to the family, he might be taken seriously by the family, but he is more likely to be killed by the family's foundation-building elders and have his treasure taken away.

In front of such a heaven-defying treasure, blood ties and family ties are all bullshit.

So he made up his mind never to tell anyone the secret of the mysterious scroll.

At worst, he could just obediently accompany the witch in dual cultivation. Even if it damaged his foundation, he believed that with the mysterious scroll that defied the heavens, there might be a chance to reverse the situation in the future.

Apart from anything else, with his current level of refining Zengyuan Pills, he could definitely earn a generous income just by selling them, and then he could find a way to get some precious spiritual objects to replenish his body.

Although it is difficult, it is not a desperate situation.

Thinking this in his heart, Ning Fa's heavy mood couldn't help but ease a lot.

"Uncle Lie, I understand. I'll go back first."

Ning Fa bowed to Ning Zonglie and walked towards the dock.

"Wait a minute, kid."

At this time Ning Zonglie called him, his bearded face with a pair of tiger eyes flashing constantly.

After a long time, he looked at Ning Fa and said in a deep voice: "Boy, maybe there is someone who can help you." After that, he looked around, walked to Ning Fa, and whispered something to him.

After hearing what he said, Ning Fa's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Thank you, Uncle Lie. I'll go try it right away."

Ning Zonglie sighed helplessly and reminded again: "Remember, don't tell them that I told you, otherwise I will be in trouble. You can take the [Blue Wave] spiritual boat. It happens to be heading to Yunchang Island to deliver spiritual materials soon. I'll say hello to you."

Ning Fa nodded repeatedly, thanked Ning Zonglie again, and then ran towards a light blue spirit boat docked on the shore.

……

Yunchang Island is very close to Lingchang Island, only a hundred kilometers away. Ningfa arrived at the island in less than half an hour.

There was a hazy white mist on the island, with vaguely visible undulating mountains. Occasionally, cranes and other magical birds were circling among them, and bursts of melodious cries could be heard. It seemed to be more in line with the image of the spiritual island in Ning Fa's mind.

Ning Fa came here to visit Ning Shaohong, the ninth elder of the family who settled here. She was the other female elder among the ten elders of the family besides Ning Huarong.

At the same time, she is also the sister of the second elder of the family, Ning Weidong, and holds a prominent position in the family.

However, Ning Shaohong was able to become the ninth elder of the family not because of his relationship with the second elder Ning Weidong.

Because Ning Shaohong is a rare spiritual embroidery artist.

The so-called hundred arts of cultivating immortals, in addition to the well-known immortal cultivation professions such as alchemy, talisman making, weapon refining, formation, and spiritual planting, there are also many unpopular professions, and spiritual embroidery master is one of them.

As the name suggests, spiritual embroiderers are able to sew various types of monk robes, which is derived from the profession of refining equipment.

Although the profession of spiritual embroidery master is unpopular, the ability to earn spiritual stones is not weak, and it can definitely be ranked among the top among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.

Because monks' robes are generally very expensive, the profits are naturally high, and generally only monks with wealthy fortunes can afford to wear them.

The reason why spiritual embroidery masters are unpopular is generally the same as that of alchemy, because the threshold is too high. It requires a lot of resources to practice before you can get started, and ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford the cost.

However, robes are not as essential as elixirs, but more like a luxury item in the world of immortal cultivation. As a result, the profession of spiritual embroidery master is very rare in the world of immortal cultivation.

Ning Shaohong is not only a spiritual embroidery master, but also has reached the second level of rank, and is able to sew robes for foundation-building monks.

The family even opened a special Lingxiu Hall, with Ning Shaohong as the head of the hall. He selected some suitable female practitioners from the family to learn the art of Lingxiu in the hall.

After years of development, this Lingxiu Hall has produced many monks' robes and earned a lot of spirit stones for the family. The monks' robes produced by Lingxiu Hall have also become a signature product of the Ning family.

The Ning family opened a special store in the nearby Dafang City [Tianshuifang City] to sell the products, and business was very good.

Because of this contribution, Ning Shaohong became the ninth elder of the family, and everyone in the family was convinced.

Ning Fa came here to seek help from the Ninth Elder, who had just given him instructions.

The reason is very simple, because the ninth elder Ning Shaohong and Ning Fa's father Ning Zhiyuan had a romantic relationship before, but later they broke up for unknown reasons.

Not many people in the family knew about this matter, and Ning Zonglie only learned about it by chance.

He also believed that Ning Shaohong must still have feelings for Ning Fa's father, otherwise she would not have rejected the dual cultivation partners introduced by her family for more than 20 years and would still be single today.

Therefore, Ning Shaohong is likely to help Ning Fa for the sake of Ning Fa's father. As long as she is willing to speak up, Wei Chengzong will never dare to listen to Ning Ruiming again and will not even give Ning Fa a chance for a fair assessment.

Ning Fa couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, it turned out that his father was a playboy. However, based on Ning Zhiyuan's appearance and temperament in his memory, it was reasonable.

When he arrived at the dock of Yunchang Island, Ning Fa discovered that the inspection intensity here was no weaker than that of Lingchang Island. There were more than a dozen cultivators on the dock who were carefully checking the spirit boats coming and going.

What is more eye-catching is that all the guards on duty here are female cultivators.

Ning Fa, who did not have a pass token, was immediately stopped. A female cultivator stared at him and asked coldly, "Who are you? Why did you come to Yunchang Island without a pass token?"
