Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 228: Yungu Market
Zuo Guanglin's eyes widened: "Why don't you become a good elder of the Ning family? Why do you come here to be an outer disciple?"

Kou Zhun said in a strange voice: "Of course, it's all because of Ling..."

He didn't finish his words and swallowed them back under Ling Yue's gaze.

Ning Fa smiled and said, "There are some reasons for this. I just arrived here and I have many things to ask about the sect. How about we go to Yunxiangju in the nearby Yungu Market and have a gathering. I will be the host."

Kou Zhun was surprised and said, "You even know about Yunxiangju. It seems you have done a lot of research. Then we will not be polite to you, a local rich man. We usually don't want to go into Yunxiangju."

Ningfa smiled.

He did not come to Huayu Sect alone, Meng Ruoqi, Yunying and his sister also came with him.

However, these three people first settled down in Yungu Market, not far from the outer gate of Huayu Sect.

According to Ning Fa's plan, he wanted to open a shop in Yungu Market, earn some spirit stones, and collect resources for him at the same time.

The two siblings Yunying and Yunjian will look after this shop for him.

This Yungu market can be regarded as the internal market of Huayu Sect, which is used for transactions by sect disciples. It is only a few hundred miles away from the outer gate of Huayu Sect.

There are several other internal markets like this one.

The scale of these markets is only second-level. If you want to go to a larger market, the nearest one is Baiyu Market, a thousand miles away, which is a high-level market of the third level.

The Huayu Sect does not allow such a large market to be opened nearby because it is afraid that it will affect the sect's disciples' practice.

Moreover, it is not easy to open a shop in these internal markets. Not only does it require expensive spirit stones, but the key is to obtain permission from the Huayu Sect.

Ning Fa has asked Wei Shiqin to help him with this.

After all, the backer behind Xudong Trading Company is a Jindan elder from the outer sect of Huayu Sect.

Ning Fa planned to go and see the situation of Meng Ruoqi and the other two after he met up with Ling Yue and the others.

So Ningfa followed the others and flew south.

In less than an hour, they arrived at a beautiful valley.

This valley is surrounded by several high mountains, is dozens of miles deep, and is shrouded in mist and clouds, giving it a fairy-like atmosphere.

The valley is filled with buildings and shops, and there are many people setting up stalls on the roadside. Many monks are coming and going among them. From time to time, a monk will stop to select an item and start bargaining. It looks very lively.

Many of the cultivators in the market are disciples of the Huayu Sect wearing robes, and there are also many outside cultivators.

Most of them are cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and occasionally there are a few inner disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Ningfa looked at all this with curiosity.

But Zuo Guanglin and his companions were obviously familiar with the place and they took Ning Fa straight into the market town.

Soon after, they entered a grand restaurant.

At the dinner table, Ning Fa first briefly explained the reason why he came to the sect, which caused Ling Yue and others to be amazed and regretful. They didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns.

Ning Fa's heart moved, and he asked, "I wonder how many contribution points you need to be promoted to the inner sect?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ling Yue and the others looked at each other in different expressions.

Kou Zhun smiled bitterly and said, "Junior Sister Ling and Senior Brother Zuo are fine. They only need about a thousand contribution points to be promoted. I think they can get enough in three or two years. It's harder for Tie Niu and I. Our qualifications are slightly lower and the contribution points required are higher. I still need more than 3,000 contribution points. Tie Niu even used a large amount of contribution points to exchange for a rank-breaking pill in order to break through the late stage of Qi training not long ago. Now he still needs more than 4,000 contribution points."

Hearing this, Li Tieniu's expression darkened.

Ling Yue couldn't help but comfort him, "Kou Zhun, you and Tie Niu are still several years away from turning thirty, there is still hope that you can accumulate enough contribution points."

Ning Fa thought to himself that this might be very difficult.

He now roughly knows how to advance to the inner sect.

This is still very difficult. On average, only one out of every ten outer disciples can be promoted to the inner sect. There are several hard conditions.

First, he must be under 30 years old, and second, he must be at least at the seventh level of Qi training.

Then, a large amount of contribution points will be needed.

The contribution points required vary from person to person, depending on one's own spiritual root qualifications.

The higher the qualifications, the fewer contribution points are required.

Someone like Ning Fa, who was assessed to be of lower-middle grade spiritual roots, needed eight thousand contribution points.

If it is a top-grade spiritual root, only one thousand contribution points are needed.

The key is that contribution points cannot be accumulated forever.

Every two years, the sect will deduct a certain amount of contribution points.

In the first ten years, only a small amount of contribution points will be deducted.

Once it exceeds ten years, the contribution points deducted by the sect will be doubled.

Then in another ten years, it will double again.

Basically, if you don't get promoted to the inner gate within ten years, there will be no hope in your life.

Zuo Guanglin's eyes turned at this moment, as if he had thought of something, and he said with an eager smile: "Brother Ning, I remember that you are also a skilled alchemist. I wonder if you can refine the Yellow Dragon Pill?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ling Yue and the other two also looked at Ning Fa.

Especially Kou Zhun, who was just depressed, his eyes lit up.

“Yellow Dragon Pill…”

Ning Fa thought to himself that he was not unfamiliar with the Yellow Dragon Pill, which was a kind of pill that could improve the cultivation of cultivators in the late stage of Qi training.

Zuo Guanglin continued enthusiastically, "To be honest, I just happened to have collected some spiritual materials for the Yellow Dragon Pill recently. I originally wanted to ask Senior Brother Hou from our Yunlan Academy to refine this pill, but Brother Ning can even refine pills like the Shuixi Pill. I think his pill refining level is even better than Senior Brother Hou. Don't worry, Brother Ning will definitely pay for the refining fee."

Ning Fa only hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. I feel like we've known each other for a long time. I can refine a furnace of elixirs for each of you for free. I can also refine elixirs for you first in the future. Just pay me the appropriate refining fee."

He had a good impression of these people, especially since he had just arrived at the sect and needed some friends to help him get familiar with the place as quickly as possible, so he wanted to make friends with a few of them.

Zuo Guanglin rubbed his hands and said happily: "Hey...thank you very much, Brother Ning!"

Kou Zhun's eyes lit up as well, and he asked hurriedly, "Brother Ning, can you refine the Cloud Heart Pill? It just so happens that I am almost gathering enough spiritual materials for the Cloud Heart Pill."

Ning Fa smiled. This kind of elixir was also something he was good at. After all, it was one of the main elixirs of the family.

Seeing Ning Fa agreed, Kou Zhun was very excited and immediately became friends with Ning Fa.

Li Tieniu, who had always been taciturn, was also very excited with a dark face. He held up the wine glass and toasted Ning Fa repeatedly.

Ling Yue's beautiful eyes moved as she looked at Ning Fa, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Ning Fa's heart moved. Could it be that this woman also wanted him to refine some elixir?

But the woman didn't say anything in the end, and Ning Fa didn't ask any more questions.

After this episode, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became lively.

Zuo Guanglin and Kou Zhun, who had originally been somewhat unimpressed with Ning Fa, became noticeably more enthusiastic about him.

Zuo Guanglin smiled and said, "Brother Ning, you have the ability to make pills. Even if you don't enter the inner sect, you can still live very comfortably in the outer sect."
