Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 36: Sutra Pavilion

One month later, late at night.

Ning Fa closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, his hands making changing gestures. Silver lightning threads moved around his body, creating an astonishing sight and making him look mysterious.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and the strange vision on his body disappeared.

"Why is this happening?"

Ning Fa murmured, his face looking a little ugly.

Because of his injury, he had no alchemy tasks in the past month and spent all his time practicing.

After the lightning pattern in his body became complete, miraculous changes took place in his body. His spiritual sensitivity became amazing and his cultivation efficiency became extremely high.

At the beginning, the magic power in his body did increase rapidly, but seven days ago, for some reason, the magic power in his body stopped increasing at all.

According to common sense, this should be the bottleneck of the current level of cultivation. Only after breaking through the bottleneck can the mana in the body continue to grow.

But the problem was that Ning Fa didn't sense the existence of the bottleneck at all, so naturally he had no way to break through it. This made him a little troubled.

Ning Fa was puzzled. After all, his realm was too low and this situation was beyond his ability to understand.

"It seems we can't delay any longer. We should go to the Sutra Pavilion to look for relevant books and study them to see if there are any relevant clues."

Ningfa murmured.

In fact, after the lightning pattern became complete, he had already realized that there had been strange changes in his body. It should not be as simple as a simple lightning spiritual root.

Apart from other things, his Thunder Ball Technique from the minor success realm was directly upgraded to the major perfection realm, and he also obtained the perfect technique seal, which was incredible.

Therefore, he had long planned to go to the family's scripture pavilion to see if there were any relevant ancient books with records.

The Ning family was established more than 600 years ago. Over the years, many classics have been collected in the Sutra Pavilion, including various cultivation techniques, talisman scriptures, alchemy scriptures, weapon scriptures, formation strategies, etc., among which there are also many ancient books.

Even a large shop like the one in Tianshui Market would hardly have such a rich collection of classics, among which there might be records related to the thunder pattern.

Ning Fa had originally planned to go to the Sutra Pavilion a month ago, but he did not set out because he was anxious to practice and try to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi training.

Now that I'm faced with the dilemma of not making any progress in my magic power, I have no choice but to go to the Scripture Pavilion to see if I can get some clues from it.

Ningfa did not intend to tell his family about his physical condition unless it was absolutely necessary.

The reason is because of the existence of the mysterious scroll, and he does not dare to take the risk of the mysterious scroll being exposed.

……

The next morning, Ning Fa took a spirit boat to Ningchang Island of the Ning family.

After all, the Sutra Pavilion is an important place in the family, so it should naturally be placed in the most heavily guarded clan territory.

Standing on the dock of Ningchang Island, the pure and rich spiritual energy hits you in the face, and a mountain towering into the clouds comes into view.

The mountain is named Changning Mountain, which means the longevity of the Ning family. It is the place with the richest spiritual energy on the island, and most of the core figures of the Ning family live on this mountain.

Not far away is a bluestone square over a thousand feet wide. There are no other buildings on it, only a sculpture of a middle-aged man several dozen feet tall in the center.

This sculpture is lifelike, with distinct facial features. The middle-aged monk has a dignified face and looks into the distance with a firm gaze that contains strong confidence.

This person is Ning Kaiqian, the ancestor of the Ning family.

It is said that the Ning family is not without roots, but is descended from a great cultivation family. For unknown reasons, Ning Kaiqian led his branch of the family to leave the family and come to the distant Qianbo Lake. With great difficulty, he created a family business and laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of the Ning family today.

The sculpture of this ancestor is not just a symbol, but also the centerpiece of the second-grade superior formation [Liang Yi Wei Yuan Formation] on Ningchang Island. Once Ningchang Island is attacked, this sculpture will play an important role.

Looking at the somewhat familiar scene in front of him, Ning Fa couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

My predecessor lived here for five years, but was kicked out and never came here again. Five or six years have passed since then.

"Boy, are you healed? Why did you come to Ningchang Island?"

A familiar rough voice was heard, and a burly man as strong as an iron tower came over, patted Ningfa on the shoulder and asked.

"Uncle Lie."

The visitor was Ning Zonglie, a good friend of Ning Fa's father. He happened to be on patrol at Ningchang Island today, so Ning Fa greeted him.

This Uncle Lie had come to visit Ning Fa when he was unconscious before. Ning Fa thanked him again: "Thank you Uncle Lie for visiting me before. My injuries are no longer serious. I came here today to find some classics in the Sutra Pavilion."

Ning Zonglie nodded, then he looked around and lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the Ninth Elder made a big scene at the Elders' Meeting and forced the use of the Heart-Searching Talisman on Ning Zhenan, which made the Tenth Elder almost unable to get off the stage. In the end, although the Third Elder rejected the Ninth Elder's request, Ning Zhenan was also severely punished. You don't have to worry about anyone daring to hurt you anymore."

Ning Fa was stunned. He knew that Ning Zhenan was severely punished. Ning Zifeng had told him about it this month, but he didn't know the details.

Now that Ning Zonglie had said that, he realized the role played by the Ninth Elder in this, which reminded him of what Ning Shaohong had said before, that he would seek justice for him.

He didn't expect Ning Shaohong to go to such lengths for him.

Ning Fa secretly kept this favor in mind. He was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Since Ning Shaohong had helped him so much, he would repay her in the future.

Later, when Ning Zonglie brought up the old matter again and asked him to visit his home and meet his daughter Huniu, Ning Fa hurriedly fled.

Arriving at the foot of Changning Mountain, Ning Fa took out a white talisman from his storage bag. There was a small white crane painted on the palm-sized talisman.

As Ning Fa infused spiritual power into it, the talisman glowed with white light, and then a white crane about ten feet tall appeared in front of him, lifelike.

This is a first-level low-grade talisman [Feather Crane Talisman], which can transform into a feather crane and control it to fly.

Compared to expensive flying magic tools, this feather crane talisman is much cheaper, costing only ten spirit stones.

But the speed is very slow and there are no protective restrictions, and it can fly more than a hundred miles.

Ningfa rode on the crane and flew slowly towards the mountain.

Soon, he came to a protruding platform halfway up the mountain, with a five-story pavilion standing on it.

It can be vaguely seen that a layer of glazed light covers the entire building. A dangerous aura can be vaguely heard in the rising light. It is obvious that this glazed light cover is a powerful restriction.

Ning Fa put away the feather crane, then took out his Dantang token and gently waved it towards the glazed light shield.

I saw a green light flying out from the token and hitting the glass light shield in a flash.

The surface of the glazed light shield glowed brightly, and then rippled like water waves, and a passage more than one person tall appeared from it.

Ning Fa walked in and soon entered the five-story pavilion. At the door, there was a middle-aged monk sitting on a bamboo chair, reading a book leisurely.

But judging from the cover of this book, which features several beauties wearing cool and seductive clothes, doing ambiguous and suggestive actions, it is probably not a serious book.

However, the middle-aged monk looked at them unscrupulously, with his feet on the table, and occasionally let out an obscene laugh.
