Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 49 Awareness
After Liu Qinghui left, Ning Fa sat on the stone chair in the courtyard, looking at the osmanthus cake on the stone table and fell into deep thought.

He always felt that Liu Qinghui's purpose of coming here today was not simple.

He couldn't help but recall the woman's every move.

As he thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He thought about how Liu Qinghui seemed a little nervous and stared at him closely after she took out the half jade beads.

She seemed to be worried about whether she had that half piece of jade?

Ning Fa didn't believe that she wanted to use that half piece of jade to confirm whether he still had feelings for her.

Most likely, the concern should be about the half piece of jade itself.

As for why she cared about that half piece of jade, if you think about it carefully, the reason doesn't seem difficult to guess.

Maybe he thought there was some secret hidden in her half of the jade, so he wanted to take his half away.

And it is very likely that this secret was discovered recently, so he did not come here before.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa felt as if everything had suddenly become clear.

Poor Liu Qinghui could never have imagined that Ning Fa is no longer the same as before.

After so many years in the business world, he has developed a pair of sharp eyes, a quick mind and keen observation.

Liu Qinghui only revealed a few clues, but Ning Fa basically guessed the truth.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa's expression remained unchanged. He even yawned lazily, muttered a few words, and then returned to the alchemy room as usual.

He was afraid that Liu Qinghui was still hiding nearby. After all, this woman was in the late stage of Qi training and her spiritual awareness was far stronger than his.

If he behaved in any strange way at this moment, he would be exposed.

Only after activating the Ringwraith formation did Ningfa's eyes light up.

Since Liu Qinghui cares so much about that half piece of jade, it means that it is very likely a treasure.

He couldn't help but wonder where his predecessor had thrown that half piece of jade.

It seemed that after Liu Qinghui's family proposed to cancel the engagement, the predecessor, who was furious, threw the token of love somewhere randomly.

Ningfa frowned and thought hard.

Suddenly he stood up.

In this familiar alchemy room, Ning Fa looked around and then fixed his sight on the alchemy furnace, or to be more precise, below the alchemy furnace.

Ning Fa walked over and moved the furnace away. The stone slabs underneath had been turned black by the black saltpeter.

He tried several slabs in succession, and then one of them came loose when he pressed it hard.

Ning Fa's face lit up with joy, and he increased his strength and flipped the stone slab over.

Inside was a small hole with something in it.

There were wooden dragonfly toys that had turned black and rotted, shining crystals, jade hairpins that still shone faintly, and green bamboo jade slips with love words written on them...

These were basically all the shared items between my predecessor and Liu Qinghui. They were treasured by my predecessor, but later I regretted it after the marriage and it was a huge blow to me.

I originally wanted to burn all these things with fire, but in the end I couldn’t bear to do so and just buried them all.

And burying it in the alchemy room was not done randomly. The predecessor wanted to use it to motivate himself to make the elixir.

He also thought that after becoming an alchemist, he would be able to make Liu Qinghui change her mind, and then he could show these things to her to move her.

Thinking of this, Ningfa felt physically unwell and wanted to slap himself.

He gathered his patience and continued to flip through the pages, and finally found half a jade pendant carefully wrapped in jade silk at the bottom.

Ning Fa took the half jade pendant with excitement and looked at it carefully.

But after looking at it for a long time, he didn't think there was anything special about this jade pendant.

This half piece of jade is made of ordinary material, has few patterns, and its spiritual energy is dim. It can't even be called a magical tool. It can only be said to be a small ornament.

Ning Fa shook his head, but he wasn't too surprised.

After all, this half piece of jade was regarded as a token of love between him and Liu Qinghui by his predecessor, and he treasured it like a treasure and played with it countless times. If there was anything unusual, he would have discovered it long ago. Ning Fa studied it for a while but couldn't figure out what it was. Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly felt a burn on his right arm.

Ning Fa looked surprised and quickly activated the mysterious scroll.

I saw a white light flickering on the scroll, and the pattern of this half jade beads soon appeared in the white light. The white line extended downwards, and another green jade beads with a different pattern appeared faintly.

But after more than ten breaths, the green jade beads were still just phantoms and failed to appear.

The white light on the scroll stopped flickering, as if the scroll had given up trying.

The surprise on Ningfa's face disappeared and he stroked his chin.

The fact that the mysterious scroll could react showed that this half piece of jade was indeed not an ordinary object.

Now it seems that the mysterious scroll still lacks energy, so it cannot be traced back successfully. Ningfa couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Ningfa did not continue his research.

There is no rush to reveal the secret of the jade pendant. When he becomes stronger, he will let Liu Qinghui tell it herself.

His top priority now is to break through to the middle stage of Qi training.

Once he advances to the middle stage of Qi training, with his thunder body and the Ancient Source Thunder Sutra, I believe his strength will not be inferior to that of an ordinary cultivator in the late stage of Qi training.

And more importantly, at that time he can start preparing to advance to the first-level intermediate-grade alchemist, and then he will give Ning Ruiming a big surprise.

It's a way to repay this person for "taking care" of him during this period of time!
……

Lingchang Island, in an elegant room in the Dan Hall.

With a crisp "bang" sound, a jade teacup was smashed against the wall and shattered into pieces.

Ning Ruiming stared at a middle-aged man in a gray robe and a mustache with his eyes spitting fire, and said angrily: "Uncle Hong, are you telling the truth?!"

The mustache man lowered his head and replied, "This should be true. It is said that Ning Fa's neighbor saw Miss Liu enter Ning Fa's home with his own eyes, and the two of them behaved... a little intimately."

"damn it!"

Ning Ruiming's face was so angry that veins popped out and his eyes were red. He was so angry that he was about to rush out of the room.

Ning Jinghong hurriedly stopped him: "Ruiming, don't be impulsive! Miss Liu's status is different now. Not only the Third Elder, but also the other Foundation Establishment Elders value her very much. Don't be too rude to her!"

Ning Ruiming's face gradually calmed down after hearing this.

What this uncle said was right. Liu Qinghui now holds a very special position in the family.

In fact, even he is not as good as Liu Qinghui in terms of family status.

It has only been three years since Liu Qinghui entered the late stage of Qi training, but he has already achieved a success rate of at least 30% for four kinds of first-grade high-quality elixirs, and the success rate is still steadily increasing.

When it comes to alchemy skills, even Wei Chengzong doesn't dare to say that he can definitely beat Liu Qinghui, so the family leaders now value Liu Qinghui very much.

Ning Ruiming advanced to the late stage of Qi training a year earlier than Liu Qinghui, but now he has only achieved a 30% success rate in making a first-grade superior elixir, and that is the simplest first-grade superior elixir.

This is the result of the full support of his family and its branches. He is still far from becoming a first-class top-grade alchemist.

So now he has neither the confidence nor the strength to question or interfere with Liu Qinghui.

Ning Ruiming regained his composure. He seemed to have thought of something. His eyes flickered and he said slowly, "You said Ning Fa's alchemy skills suddenly improved by leaps and bounds. Is it possible... that Qinghui taught him?"

Ning Ruiming's eyes were wandering, and although he was asking a question, it also seemed like he was talking to himself.

The mustache man lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "This is indeed very possible, and the possibility is not small."

Ning Ruiming frowned, still a little confused.

Because Ning Fa had met Liu Qinghui during the alchemist assessment before, and his attitude towards her was extremely bad.

He looked so disgusted with her and her father, and it didn't seem like Liu Qinghui had ever taught him anything.

But it is also a fact that this time Liu Qinghui behaved intimately with Ning Fa and even entered Ning Fa's house.

Ning Ruiming looked gloomy. After a long while, he suddenly said, "Tell this news to Uncle Liu. He must be more reluctant to see Ning Fa's comeback than I am. He will probably restrain Qinghui."

The mustache man nodded: "This is the proper thing to do. I'll be right over."
