Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 447 Apprenticeship Ceremony
Not long after, Ning Fa left Tianxiang Tower.

In a guest room of the Changfeng Trading Company, which had not yet opened for business, almost all the foundation-building elders from the Ning and Wei families, who had received messages from Ning Fa in advance, were there.

Ningfa then briefly recounted what had happened.

Everyone was worried at first about making enemies with the Xia family, but after hearing that Ning Fa would send Cheng Ziyi as his master and would fully devote himself to the Cheng family, they were pleasantly surprised.

After all, the Cheng family is a big family and one of the four pillars of the Huayu Sect's family faction, and is well-known to them.

Even though they had heard rumors that the Cheng family had declined in recent years, it was still a behemoth in their eyes.

So they feel like they have a strong backer.

However, Ning Fa still emphasized to everyone that they should be more careful in the future and try not to leave Heize Immortal City alone. If there is anything they can hire other foundation-building cultivators to do.

Afterwards, Ning Fa went to see Feng Jue again.

Feng Jue was not too surprised by Yu Ningfa's arrival. It was obvious that he had heard the news in advance.

He looked at Ning Fa with a look of regret in his eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "The young lady is still in a coma. In this situation, the Cheng family is the only one in the sect who can protect you. When the young lady wakes up in the future, I believe she will not blame you."

Ningfa toasted him with a glass of wine, then turned and left.

Looking at Ning Fa's receding back, Feng Jue sighed, and the regret in his eyes became even heavier.

Not only for Duanmu Ling, but also for the Duanmu family.

He had a strong premonition that Duan Muhong and his family would regret it in the future.

……

Ten days later.

In the center of Qingyufang, in a large and grand auditorium, the Huayu Sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony was officially held.

The Huayu Sect has always attached great importance to the matter of accepting disciples, and even stipulates that each Jindan elder must accept at least one disciple every thirty years. Only after accepting five disciples can they waive this rule.

The sect would also hold a grand disciple-recruiting ceremony every ten years to encourage the inner disciples to perform bravely.

Because the status of a direct disciple of the Jindan Elder is extremely precious and directly affects the allocation of many high-level resources in the sect.

There were more than a thousand inner disciples sitting in the huge auditorium.

More than ten elders in the Jindan stage also came.

The most surprising thing was that the only supreme elder of Huayu Sect also showed up.

He was seen sitting high up on the main seat in the auditorium, wearing a flowing long gown with a white background, green edges and green feathers embroidered on it, with long hair draped over his shoulders and a youthful appearance. He looked clearly a handsome and elegant young man.

But his eyes were full of vicissitudes, as if they contained the sun, moon and stars.

An indescribable aura emanated from him.

He is the only Nascent Soul cultivator in Huayu Sect, Patriarch Ouyang, whose Taoist name is True Lord Donghua.

At this time, Ning Fa was standing on a high platform in the auditorium, attracting the attention of everyone in the auditorium. There were more than ten other disciples like him.

These people are going to take Elder Jindan as their master in a while.

Ning Fa couldn't help but secretly look at the Grand Elder not far away. This was the first time he saw the true face of this ancestor.

Unexpectedly, this old ancestor Ouyang turned around and glanced at him indifferently.

A hint of surprise flashed in his weathered eyes, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. His gaze lingered on Ningfa's face for a while before moving away.

He stood up.

The auditorium suddenly fell silent, and many disciples, including the Jindan elder, looked at him respectfully.

Donghua Zhenjun said calmly: "The disciple-recruiting ceremony has officially begun."

Afterwards, beams of light flew in front of the dozen or so disciples, and they were all Jindan elders.

The person in front of Ning Fa was naturally Cheng Ziyi, who was wearing a purple dress, had a beautiful face and a smile on her face.

At this moment, Ningfa noticed several eyes looking at him.

Among them are Elder Sun, Elder Gan and Elder Wan.

There was regret and sorrow in the eyes of the three men, especially Elder Wan.

He looked at another excited disciple in the middle stage of foundation building in front of him, sighed slightly in his heart, and couldn't help but regret that he was more cautious in doing things. He should have accepted Ning Fa directly in the beginning.

Although the disciple in front of him was considered outstanding in the sect, he now seemed far less outstanding than Ning Fa and less suitable for inheriting his own martial arts.

In addition to these three Jindan elders, Duanmu Hong also glanced at Ning Fa indifferently, with no change in his expression.

Before him was a handsome young man in a blue shirt.

This person was none other than Chen Jing, who had previously competed with Ning Fa for the title of apprentice of Duanmu Hong.

He looked at Ningfa with a smile on his face, with an undisguised hint of victory in his eyes, and he obviously thought he had won the competition with Ningfa.

On the viewing platform on the other side, the two Jindan elders of the Xia family looked at Ning Fa and Cheng Ziyi, with a flash of coldness in their eyes.

And on the high platform, the most eye-catching people were none other than the master of Danding Peak, Yuchen Zhenren, and his new disciple Liu Qinghui.

One reason is that Master Yuchen is in a high position of power, and he had previously announced that he would no longer accept new disciples, but now he has changed his mind and is accepting disciples.

Secondly, his disciple Liu Qinghui was pure and beautiful, which was rare in the world. Many male disciples in the audience looked at her with shining eyes and instantly developed admiration for Liu Qinghui.

Many people have been secretly trying to find out about the background of this Junior Sister Liu.

Meng Ruoqi and Ling Yue sat together in the audience. Meng Ruoqi stared at Ning Fa on the stage, while Ling Yue looked calm.

She suddenly sent a message to Meng Ruoqi: "Junior sister, Ning Fa is about to become a Taoist couple with that Senior Sister Cheng. Don't you blame him?"

Meng Ruoqi shook her head.

"He said he had his reasons, and I believed him. He said he would not abandon me, and I believed him, too."

Ling Yue sighed softly: "But Master hates him even more because of this. I'm afraid it will be more difficult for you to meet in the future."

Meng Ruoqi pursed her lips and said no more.

Cao Xian sat in an inconspicuous corner. He stroked his chubby chin, his eyes rolling around, and said to himself, "Tsk tsk... It seems that I have to change my job again. What excuse should I find this time?"

The disciple-accepting ceremony was going on on the high platform. All the disciples offered wine to the Golden Elixir Master as a sign of respect. After the ceremony, a special person from the sect recorded it in a book.

Ning Fa looked at Cheng Ziyi who was looking at him with a friendly expression, and sighed in his heart: After being reborn, he finally has a golden elixir master.

Moreover, Cheng Ziyi is known as one of the two great golden elixir fairies of Huayu Sect together with Fairy Bai Feng, and her reputation is well-known.

Many disciples below the stage looked at him with envy, wishing they could take his place.

……

On the second day, Cheng Ziyi introduced her three disciples to Ning Fa.

Ning Fa looked at the man and two women in front of him and said politely, "Junior brother, meet the eldest brother, second sister, and third sister."

The three people in front of me were a man about thirty years old, tall, with a simple and honest face, and even a little honest.

His name is Xie Heng, and he is also Cheng Ziyi's eldest disciple.

Cheng Ziyi accepted him as his apprentice because Senior Brother Xie had an outstanding talent for refining weapons.

And Cheng Ziyi is the strongest weapon-making master in the sect, so he accepted Senior Brother Xie as his disciple.

However, the realm of this senior brother is not very high. He is still only at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, but he is already a second-level upper-grade weapon refiner.

There are only a handful of people in the sect whose weapon-refining skills are better than his. It can be said that his status in the sect is not low.

When he saw Ning Fa greeting him, he quickly waved his hand and even touched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed.

Ning Fa was very familiar with the other beautiful woman in a green dress with a gentle face. She was Senior Sister Cheng Zhirou.

Cheng Zhirou looked at Ning Fa with a complicated expression.

Now she naturally also knew that Ning Fa was about to become a Taoist couple with Cheng Ziyi, which made her feel very complicated and mostly regretful.

The last third sister is a beautiful female cultivator wearing a white skirt and armor. She is Cheng Huiying, the third disciple of Cheng Ziyi and also the legitimate daughter of the Cheng family.

It can be said that this third senior sister is completely opposite to Cheng Zhirou. Cheng Zhirou has a graceful temperament, while this Chen Huiying is heroic and even looks more like a man.

She looked at Ning Fa curiously, and then said something that greatly surprised Ning Fa: "Fourth Junior Brother, I heard that you and Junior Sister Ning Huarong are from the same clan. Can you introduce us to each other in the future? To be honest, I like her very much, but she ignored me when I asked her out several times before."

Ningfa's eyes widened instantly and he looked at her in disbelief.

For a moment, he even wondered if he had recognized the wrong gender for her.

But Cheng Huiying's curvy and extremely hot body makes her look like a female cultivator no matter how you look at it.

Xie Heng and Cheng Zhirou, on the other hand, had a look of being accustomed to it, and it was obvious that they already knew the temper of this Third Junior Sister.

Cheng Ziyi, on the other hand, had a headache on her face.

"Huiying, please restrain yourself and don't scare your fourth junior brother."

Cheng Huiying shrugged her shoulders, but secretly told Ning Fa, "Fourth Junior Brother, please, please."

In the next few days, Cheng Ziyi took Ning Fa to meet many important figures of the Cheng family and its affiliated forces, and also gave a detailed introduction to the current situation of the Cheng family.

The Cheng family has been passed down for more than three thousand years. Although it is weak now, the entire family can be said to be very large, with numerous branches and halls, which is far from comparable to the small Ning family before.

Currently, the Cheng family has nearly fifty people in the foundation-building stage, nearly a thousand people in the Qi training stage, and more than ten million people of mortal bloodline.

If affiliated families are included, these numbers can be doubled.

In the southern part of Jiang State, there are three prefectures and counties belonging to the Cheng family as their habitat.

The Cheng family’s development strategy is to send children with good qualifications to the sect to become disciples of the Huayu Sect.

After all, Huayu Sect is the foundation of the Cheng family.

As for other disciples who had no hope of practicing, such as those with four or five spiritual roots, they basically stayed in their own clan to develop.

They would stop practicing after reaching the initial or middle stages of Qi training and instead help manage the affairs of their tribe.

The Cheng family's distinctive industries are weapon refining and spiritual plants, especially the cultivation of high-level spiritual plants.

Because the Cheng family has a set of ancestral spiritual plant techniques, which are very effective in cultivating high-level spiritual herbs.

At present, the Cheng family has dozens of spiritual medicine gardens of various grades, which is also the main source of income for the Cheng family.

Many of the spiritual medicine gardens within the Huayu Sect are also managed by members of the Cheng family.

During the meeting, the important figures of the Cheng family or affiliated forces were all a little shocked.

They were shocked at how much Cheng Ziyi valued Ning Fa.
