Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 321 The First Mission, Ning Family Crisis
Next to Ouyang Tianzong was a stunning beauty wearing a blue dress and looking like an angel.

It was Xia Xinlan, the new female disciple of the Xia family who had joined Huayu Sect.

Ji Qingqing looked at Ouyang Tianzong with a half-smile: "Sister Duanmu and I were just having a little fight, how could we catch Senior Brother Ouyang's eye? But what makes me sad is that I remember Senior Brother Ouyang confessed to me a few years ago and said that he loved me the most. I didn't expect that Senior Brother Ouyang would find a new lover so soon."

It was obvious that the others were hearing this secret for the first time. They first widened their eyes, then pretended not to have heard it, but the strange look in their eyes was hard to conceal.

But Duanmu Ling didn't need to worry about all this and just burst out laughing.

Even with Ouyang Tianzong's shrewdness, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he glanced at Xia Xinlan beside him with some worry.

Xia Xinlan seemed not to notice. With a faint smile on her beautiful face, she greeted Duanmu Ling and Ji Qingqing softly, "Hello, Sister Duanmu and Sister Ji."

Ji Qingqing pouted slightly, then replied with a sweet giggle.

The three disciples of the family faction had a silent contest.

Afterwards, the three groups finally dispersed.

Ning Fa arrived at his residence, and before he had time to rest, Cui Hong and Pan Jiao dragged him to Xiancheng to find a place to drink.

Not long after, in a place called Wangjiang Tower in Xiancheng, several people were drinking and chatting.

In addition to the three of them, there was another person.

This person was a beautiful middle-aged woman with a graceful appearance, named He Rong.

She is the only female cultivator among the twenty foundation-building cultivators recruited by Duanmu Ling this time. She is in the middle stage of foundation-building and comes from Qiongyue Peak.

He Rong is Cui Hong's good friend, but from Ning Fa's observation, judging from the way He Rong looks at Cui Hong, their relationship may not be as simple as just friends.

The few of them naturally talked about the upcoming South Expansion mission. Ning Fa asked directly, "Brother Pan, do you know why Senior Sister Duanmu chose the Black Flame Desert as her first target? I heard that the environment in that desert is very harsh. Not only are there many fire monsters and various poisonous creatures, but there is also the terrifying fire poison power that even cultivators find difficult to resist. Is it just for a few oases in the desert?"

On the previous flying boat, Duanmu Ling had briefly introduced to everyone that Nantuo’s first goal was to occupy this place called the Black Flame Desert.

It is said that the Black Flame Desert is quite large, comparable to the Qianbo Lake where Ningfa was previously located, but the environment looks much worse.

As for why Duanmu Ling chose this place, she did not elaborate.

Ning Fa thought that Pan Jiao was Feng Jue's disciple after all, and might know more inside information.

Upon hearing this, Cui Hong and the beautiful middle-aged woman He Rong's expressions instantly became serious. This was obviously also a problem they were concerned about.

Pan Jiao wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, groaned for a moment and said, "I do know a little more than you do. Although the Black Flame Desert has a harsh environment, there are several large oases inside it, which are very high-quality habitats. Most of the spirit veins are of the second-level upper-middle quality, and they are all high-quality spirit veins with high reserves and large volumes. There are even some third-level spirit veins, which are enough to be the mountain gate of a Jindan sect."

"Of course, if that were all, Senior Sister Duanmu wouldn't have valued the Black Flame Desert so much. I heard that there are several high-level spiritual ore veins inside the Black Flame Desert, which are rich in some very rare fire-attributed spiritual ores. This may be the reason why Senior Sister Duanmu chose the Black Flame Desert."

After hearing this, everyone was somewhat enlightened.

After all, the sect has long said that whoever occupies these resource points such as mineral veins first can mine and use them for 30 years and only needs to pay a small amount of taxes to the sect.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the primary target of these arrow disciples is places where high-level spiritual mineral veins are abundant.

At this time, Pan Jiao whispered mysteriously, "And that's not all. Thousands of miles south of the Black Flame Desert is the famous Blood Jade Plateau. Senior Sister Duanmu chose the Black Flame Desert route, most likely to occupy that famous plateau in the end."

Hearing this, Ning Fa couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

Because the Blood Jade Plateau is a famous treasure land.

It is said that the geology there is very special, and some rare and exotic herbs that are difficult to survive in the outside world can be grown on the Blood Jade Plateau.

For example, the main ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill include the Tianling Fruit, the Golden Marrow Ganoderma and other precious spiritual herbs.

But I heard that the Black Spirit Church has heavily guarded that place, and has set up many defensive restrictions. It is definitely not an easy task to capture it. But for now, there is no need to think so far ahead. Let's think about how to capture the Black Flame Desert first.

Everyone continued to talk and the atmosphere was lively.

The beautiful middle-aged woman He Rong didn't say much, but just gently picked up food and served wine to Cui Hong.

Cui Hong couldn't hide the embarrassment on his face, but he had no choice but to accept it.

After eating and drinking, they were not in a hurry to go back and decided to stroll around this huge Heize Fairy City first.

It is very likely that they will come here frequently in the next few years or even decades.

When they turned a corner and came to another street, they saw that something had happened in front of them and there were many monks surrounding them.

After a closer look, they discovered that it was two groups of monks fighting.

Or to be more precise, a monk was being bullied by three monks wearing the robes of the Wanfa Sect.

I saw the middle-aged monk lying on the ground, and a tall, hook-nosed disciple of the Wanfa Sect was stepping on his chest.

The man was playing with a white pill bottle in his hand, and said with a sneer on his face, "I just need this bottle of Golden Deer Pill. Don't worry, I won't take your things for nothing. These 100 spirit stones are used to buy your pill."

After saying this, the Wanfa Sect disciple directly threw out a hundred spirit stones, which hit the face of the middle-aged cultivator under him, which was obviously extremely humiliating.

The eyes of the humiliated middle-aged monk seemed to be spitting fire, but he could not move at all.

From time to time, there were flashes of forbidden light on his body, and it was obvious that he had been placed under a restriction by these three Wanfamen disciples.

Among the many monks who were watching nearby, some showed expressions of pity and anger, but no one dared to step forward.

After all, in this Hei Ze Fairy City, Huayu Sect and Wanfa Sect are the kings.

If you offend the disciples of these two sects, especially those who are inner disciples of Wanfa Sect, you will be doomed to die.

The Wanfa Sect disciple bent down, patted the middle-aged cultivator on the face, and said in a cold voice: "If you want to blame someone, blame your Ning family for offending Senior Brother Xue. I wonder how long your family can hold on!"

The middle-aged monk's eyes were bloodshot and his face was slightly distorted. He struggled hard to break free from the restraining force on his body.

He shouted hoarsely, "Give me back the...Golden Deer...Pill!"

"Hahaha, you want the Golden Deer Pill? You're dreaming! I tell you the truth, you and anyone from your Ning family, don't even think about buying any second-level healing pills in Hei Ze Immortal City!"

The Wanfamen disciple laughed sneeredly and was about to step on the middle-aged monk's face.

But he couldn't step down with his raised foot, as if an invisible force was blocking him.

"Who is it?" The hook-nosed disciple of Wanfa Sect's face changed slightly. He immediately looked around and shouted coldly.

The two Wanfamen companions beside him also immediately became alert.

Not far away, Ning Fa had a blank expression on his face.

But the cold light in his eyes was like the black ice from the sky, icy enough to penetrate the bones and make people shudder.

An extremely strong murderous intent suddenly erupted from him, causing many low-level monks around him to be overwhelmed and retreat one after another, looking at him in horror.

　I didn’t mean to stop here… It’s almost twelve o’clock when I finished writing, so you guys can wait until tomorrow…
