Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 231 Power Faction
Ning Fa suddenly realized that this was the case.

He had learned from Wei Shiqin in advance that there were two major factions within the Huayu Sect.

Family faction and master-disciple faction.

The family factions are headed by the four major families: Ouyang, Duanmu, Ji, and Cheng. Each family has at least two Jindan cultivators in the Huayu Sect, and it is unknown how many foundation-building cultivators there are.

He has a huge influence in Huayu Sect.

Even the Yuanying ancestor of Huayu Sect, Donghua Zhenjun, was born in the Ouyang family.

Therefore, the family faction is the largest faction in Huayu Sect.

The Duanmu Ling that Ning Fa had met before was from the Duanmu family.

As for the so-called master-disciple faction, it mainly refers to the cultivators within the sect who are not from a family and have no powerful background. They are mainly connected by the master-disciple relationship rather than family ties.

At the beginning, the family factions within the Huayu Sect were very powerful, and the sect’s resources and important positions were all occupied by the family factions.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction among other disciples of the sect, and in order to gather together for warmth, they formed the master-disciple faction.

The master-disciple faction is developing rapidly.

After all, family factions are mainly composed of the core disciples within the family.

However, the master-disciple faction widely absorbs outstanding talents within the sect.

At this point, if we exclude Master Donghua, the strength of the master-disciple faction is no weaker than that of the family faction.

The number of Jindan cultivators in the two major factions is equal, and even the number of elders in the middle and late Jindan stage in the master-disciple faction is even greater.

Many high positions in the sect are occupied by people from the master-disciple faction, such as the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, the head of the Danding Peak, etc.

Even the Jindan elder behind Xudong Trading Company is from the master-disciple faction.

In order to counter the increasingly powerful master-disciple faction, the family faction began to abandon old ideas, began to absorb outstanding outsiders into the sect, and allocated resources to provide strong support.

After this incident, Ling Yue and the others no longer had the desire to wander around and wanted to return directly to the sect.

Ning Fa saw that Ling Yue and the others were in a bad mood, so he asked them to go back first while he went for a walk.

Several people agreed to go to the Preaching Peak together the next day, and then Ling Yue and others hurried back to the sect.

Ning Fa walked alone in the market, observed carefully for a while, and nodded secretly.

Then he took out a special communication tool that looked like a magical bamboo and wrote a sentence on it.

Soon, there was a reply.

Ning Fa smiled, then left the market town and drove the Blue Spirit Flying Car toward his residence above the Cloud Valley.

On the hillside above the valley, there were rows of caves. These were the residences of the Yungu Market.

Compared with markets of the same size, the price is two or three times higher.

After all, this place is close to the Huayu Sect and the Bailu Mountains, a place with spiritual veins.

Meng Ruoqi and the other two first rented two caves here and settled down.

Soon, Ningfa stopped at the mountainside. He could not enter directly in front of him because it was blocked by a layer of prohibition shining with light.

Ning Fa took out a sound transmission talisman.

Soon after, the light rolled up, making way for a passage, and a beautiful figure fell into Ning Fa's arms.

Meng Ruoqi, who was as bright as a new moon, raised her head and said softly, "Ning Lang, you are finally here."

Ning Fa could see from Meng Ruoqi's beautiful eyes her attachment to him, which touched him even though he thought he had a heart of stone.

In fact, Ningfa's previous impression of her was that of a socialite, so although she was beautiful, Ningfa was not very interested in her.

However, Meng Ruoqi's performance made him gradually value this woman.

Ning Fa kissed her lightly and said, "Let's go back to the cave first." Meng Ruoqi then took him to a cave not far away.

In the cave, Yunying, wearing a green dress and with a somewhat cold expression, was also there.

"Friend Daoist Ning."

Yunying saw Ningfa and greeted him in a low voice.

Ning Fa smiled. Even though they had had sex many times, the woman obviously still felt very uncomfortable with him.

In order to save spirit stones, Meng Ruoqi and Yun Ying lived in one cave, and Yun Jian lived alone in another.

Not long after, Yun Jian also hurried over.

Although his attitude towards Ning Fa was not very good at this time, it was normal. Before Ning Fa could ask, he said directly: "I have been walking around Yungu Market these days. Although there are some shops that are willing to sell, the prices are quite high. Even in the most remote places, it costs at least nearly ten thousand spirit stones."

Ning Fa looked thoughtful.

Although the price was high, he had expected it and it was within his acceptable range.

This time when he came to Huayu Sect, he brought more than 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones alone.

Not to mention what he earned from refining medicine for Wei Shiqin over the years, just the storage bags of the dozens of Xue family cultivators who died at his hands in the battle with the Xue family added up to an astonishing fortune, so he had the confidence to open a shop.

Yun Jian threw a jade slip to Ning Fa: "Here are the locations and related information of several shops that I think are good. You can weigh them yourself, but the key is the license of Huayu Sect. Without this certificate, you can't open a shop no matter how many spirit stones you have."

Ning Fa took the jade slip and after a quick look at it, he couldn't help but praise Yun Jian's ability to do things.

He said, "Don't worry about that. The store opening permit will probably be available within a month. During this time, I'll have to trouble Brother Yun to help me look into it a little more."

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze and took out a jade slip and a storage bag and handed them to Yun Jian: "Here are some more materials. I'll have to trouble Brother Yun to help me collect them. There are several thousand spirit stones in this bag, which should be enough."

These materials are all spiritual materials for refining Nine-Transformation Purple Yuan Powder.

After the looting of Yunjing Island, he now has no shortage of Yunjing Liquid, but only lacks some other auxiliary materials.

At this time, Ning Fa couldn't help but miss Wei Shiqin deeply.

Yun Jian took the jade slip and spirit stone without resistance.

Afterwards, Ning Fa talked with a few more people and then left the place and returned to the outer gate Yunlu Peak.

……

The next morning, Ning Fa followed Ling Yue and others to the Preaching Peak to listen to the foundation-building master's lecture on his experience in cultivation.

Along the way, thousands of lights of different colors were seen rushing towards one direction.

Although they were all Qi-cultivating cultivators, Ning Fa was still shocked by this grand scene.

Many disciples came over to say hello, and most of them were to Ling Yue.

It was obvious that this woman was quite famous in Yunlan Courtyard, and Zuo Guanglin and the others looked as if they were used to it.

On the flying boat, Kou Zhun chuckled and said, "It seems that everyone has heard the news. The number of people heading to the Preaching Peak this time is several times more than usual. Maybe many brothers and sisters have skipped their missions and come here."

Zuo Guanglin nodded and said, "Uncle Chu has always been very thorough in his investigations. Once she succeeds in forming a pill, it will be even harder to see her. So no one wants to miss this opportunity."

While everyone was talking, there was a sudden commotion from behind.

Several people couldn't help but look behind them.

I saw a huge spiritual boat about dozens of feet long and shaped like a phoenix coming rapidly.

On the spirit boat, there were a dozen or so beautiful figures, all of whom were young and beautiful female cultivators.

They wore the same moon-white palace skirt with a hanging bright moon embroidered on their backs.

These female cultivators are not only slim, young and beautiful, but also have a unique kind of ethereal and pure aura that gives them a charm that transcends their appearance.
