Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 420: Alchemy Guest
After meeting Duanmu Hong, Ning Fa knew in his heart that there was basically no possibility for him to become Duanmu Hong's disciple.

He didn't have much regret, but instead felt a little relieved.

This will also allow him to free up his hands and start thinking seriously about who to choose as his apprentice.

The second elder of the Cheng family, Cheng Ziyi, the second elder of the Ji family, Ji Jinqiu, and the elders Sun and Gan from the master-disciple faction.

It can be said that there are many choices, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

In fact, there was another Jindan elder who was interested in Ning Fa, but he had not yet arrived in Heize Immortal City and had not been able to meet Ning Fa.

And this person's identity cannot be ignored, because he is Elder Wan Hewan of Lingxiao Peak.

First of all, Lingxiao Peak ranks among the top three in terms of strength among the many inner peaks in the sect.

And this Elder Wanhe is a cultivator with thunder spiritual roots, who is at the peak of the early Golden Core stage. At nearly three hundred years old, he has hope of making further progress in the future.

Moreover, as a cultivator with thunder spiritual roots, his strength is almost comparable to that of an ordinary mid-stage Jindan cultivator, so he has a very high status in the sect, which is not comparable to the two elders Sun and Gan.

And Jing Dongji, the disciple with thunder spiritual roots who had met Ning Fa once during his Qi training period, was his disciple.

In Ning Fa's opinion, it might be a better choice to be able to worship Elder Wan as a teacher.

Because the Jindan elders of a family faction value their own family members first.

Ning Fa has also experienced this deeply.

The best proof is that Duanmu Hong plans to take Chen Jing as his disciple instead of himself.

Even though Ning Fa was far better than Chen Jing, Duanmu Pojun's lobbying still made Duanmu Hong change his mind.

So now, whether it is the Ji family or the Cheng family, Ning Fa feels conflicted.

There is still about a month left before the sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony.

During this period of time, he needs to think carefully and weigh the pros and cons.

At this time, Cao Xian came to the door.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Ning for showing off his prowess again and beating up Xia Mingyang. It really made me feel relieved.

This guy often flirts with women in the sect, and there are reports of him abandoning women after having sex with them. I have disliked him for a long time."

Cao Xian said indignantly.

Ning Fa looked at him with a half-smile: "Junior Brother Cao, why are you still so close to me? Aren't you afraid that Xia Mingyang will bear a grudge against you and cause trouble for you in the future?"

Cao Xian's expression suddenly tensed up, and then he patted his chest in a pretentious manner and said, "I'm not afraid of him at all."

But he changed the subject and whispered, "But you have to be careful, Senior Brother Ning, because the Xia family's reputation is not very good. You have to be really careful that they will cause trouble to you in the future, especially now that Senior Sister Duanmu is still injured."

Ning Fa thought of something at this time and said, "Junior Brother Cao, you are well-informed. I would like you to collect detailed information about the Xia family, especially the children of the Xia family in the foundation-building stage, so that I can have a general idea of the situation."

Cao Xian nodded and said, "This is a small matter, I will take care of it.

In addition, Manager Fang of Zhilan Commercial Bank has already returned to Hei Ze Xian City. Senior Brother Ning, do you have time to meet him today?"

Ning Fa's eyes flashed.

If he did not accept He Shaoan's negotiation conditions, it could be foreseen that this person would not allow his newly established business to operate smoothly.

Although He Shaoan has Cheng Ziyi's support, he dare not cause trouble openly, but he probably can't avoid suppression in secret.

After all, Xutong Trading Company has considerable influence in the southern part of Jiang State. It would be quite troublesome to secretly put pressure on Changfeng Trading Company so that some spiritual material channels would not be provided to Changfeng Trading Company, or to raise the prices.

But if we can cooperate with Zhilan Trading Company, then we won’t have to worry about this issue.

Ning Fa and Cao Xian immediately went to see Manager Fang.

In the central area of Hei Ze Xian City, the rent is extremely high, and only the famous large trading companies can afford to open shops here.

In the center of the street, there is a majestic nine-story pavilion with flying eaves, white jade and green tiles, and golden splendor.

This building is called Xianzhi Building, and it is the head office of Zhilan Trading Company in Heize Xiancheng.

Not long after, Ning Fa met Manager Fang in an elegant guest room on the fifth floor of Xianzhi Building.

The man was about forty years old, wearing a plain long gown, his hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, he had a clear face and a short beard that was neatly groomed.

Although he had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. One could tell at a glance that he was a smart and capable person who was not easy to mess with.

This person's name is Fang Lin, and he is in the late stage of foundation building.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, I have been friends with you for a long time. Now I can finally meet you in person. I am so happy."

Fang Lin laughed and greeted Ning Fa with extraordinary enthusiasm.

"Fellow Daoist Fang is so polite. I am the same." Ning Fa also responded politely.

After the two exchanged greetings, Fang Lin secretly glanced at Cao Xian, and Cao Xian immediately understood what he meant.

He said with a smile: "Brother Ning, please talk to Manager Fang first. I am still short of a defensive magic weapon, so I'd like to see if there is anything suitable here."

Then he stood up and left.

Ning Fa knew that he was about to get to the point, but he asked first: "May I ask Fellow Daoist Fang, have you confirmed the news about the spiritual object that can make up for the foundation?"

This is the most important purpose of his meeting this person.

Fang Lin stroked his beard and smiled: "If there was no news about this thing, I would be embarrassed to come to meet Brother Ning. [Buxuanshen], I wonder if you have heard of it?" "What? Buxuanshen!?" Ning Fa couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of surprise.

He didn't expect that the spiritual item that Zhilan Trading Company obtained to make up for the foundation would actually be this kind of high-level spiritual medicine of heaven and earth, which was much better than he had expected.

The ancient book "The Treasure Mirror of Immortal Herbs" says: "Bu Xuanshen, the spiritual essence between heaven and earth, grows in the deep valley, absorbs the energy of dragon veins, and absorbs the light of stars.

If a monk takes it, it can strengthen his foundation, replenish his vitality, and also replenish his original foundation, just like a dead tree coming back to life in spring. "

Although the description in this ancient book is a bit exaggerated, the Scrophularia ningpoensis is indeed an excellent spiritual object that can improve the foundation of a cultivator.

Its grade is as high as the third level, and it is of great use even to Jindan cultivators.

Ning Fa thought about the descriptions in ancient books and felt even more surprised.

If it is really the Scrophularia that is replenishing the body, then the damaged foundation of the Great Elder can definitely be repaired, and there is hope for him to continue to advance.

But after the surprise, he immediately calmed down.

Since it is such a precious spiritual object, it must be very difficult to obtain it.

If it were put up for auction, he would probably have to pay a huge price to get it.

But he is not afraid of this, what he is afraid of is that the spiritual object is not good enough.

“Haha, it seems that fellow Daoist has also heard of this Buxuanshen, so I don’t need to introduce it in detail.

Moreover, this plant of Scrophularia ningpoensis is 800 years old, and its medicinal effect is even stronger than that of ordinary Scrophularia ningpoensis.

Our business paid a huge price to obtain it, and lost a lot of manpower.”

Ning Fa was even more excited after hearing this. Although he knew that there was little hope, he still tried to ask:

"I wonder if your company can sell this spiritual object directly? I think I still have some wealth, so I might be able to pay a price that your company will be satisfied with."

Ning Fa is not bragging. In the battles over the past few years, no less than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators have died at his hands, some of whom were even cultivators in the middle to late stages of Foundation Establishment.

At this moment, his wealth is far beyond the imagination of ordinary foundation-building cultivators.

But as expected, Fang Lin shook his head: "Fellow Daoist may be disappointed.

Our company attaches great importance to the upcoming auction and wants to build its reputation. Bu Xuan Shen is an important item in this auction and cannot be sold directly to fellow Taoists."

Ningfa felt a little regretful, but also expected it.

But at this moment, Fang Lin's eyes flashed, and he continued, "Actually, this is not out of the question.

After all, Fellow Daoist Ning is not an ordinary cultivator, let alone an ordinary alchemist. Our company still attaches great importance to Fellow Daoist Ning."

Ning Fa's eyes moved, and he understood a little.

He looked at Fang Lin, who was smiling, and asked calmly, "What do I need you to do? Please speak frankly, Brother Fang."

Fang Lin's eyes flashed, "Actually, this is what I wanted to discuss with Fellow Daoist Ning today.

Our company would like to invite Fellow Daoist Ning to serve as a guest alchemist. As long as Fellow Daoist Ning agrees, this eight-hundred-year-old scutellaria can be sold to Fellow Daoist Ning at cost price, so that he does not have to fight with other cultivators at the auction."

Ning Fa narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself that it was indeed so.

At this time, Fang Lin had already taken out a jade slip and pushed it towards Ning Fa, saying with a smile on his face:

“This is the specific treatment and requirements for our company’s guest alchemists. Fellow Daoist Ning can take a look first.

To be honest, I am not bragging, but I don't know how many alchemists are eager to become the guest alchemists of our Zhilan Trading Company.

But Fellow Daoist Ning is different from them. His talent in alchemy is so strong that I have never seen it before. That is why our company is eager to recruit Fellow Daoist Ning."

Ning Fa's spiritual sense penetrated into the jade slip and began to examine it carefully.

Not long after, he withdrew his consciousness from it, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.

It can be said that Fang Lin was not exaggerating. There are indeed many benefits to becoming a guest alchemist at Zhilan Trading Company.

He could receive an astonishing amount of spirit stones as salary every year. The amount was so generous that even Ning Fa was astounded.

This is only secondary. The key point is that some of the pill recipes or alchemy inheritance collected by Zhilan Trading Company will also be open to guest alchemists.

Many of them are rare copies that are hard to find in the outside world.

In addition, there is another very important point, that is, the guest alchemists are eligible to obtain the restricted resources of Zhilan Trading Company.

In the world of immortal cultivation now, many rare spiritual objects are basically not sold directly by any business, big or small. If you want to get such spiritual objects, you must pay some extra price.

For example, bartering, taking out some spiritual objects that the business also needs, or completing some special tasks of the business.

Therefore, it is not easy to obtain this kind of limited resources.

The guest alchemists are eligible to purchase this spiritual object directly with spirit stones without having to fulfill these additional requirements.

Of course, not all restricted resources are available, this depends on the specific level.

For example, what Fang Lin assigned to Ning Fa was a second-class upper-grade guest alchemy level.

In fact, it is already very high. Basically, he can buy all restricted resources below the third level directly at Zhilan Trading Company.

But with such great benefits, the requirements are naturally not low.
