Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 51 Ways to Make Money
Ning Xiuying's eyes made Ning Fa feel a little uneasy. He coughed dryly and said, "Sister Xiuying, if you look at me like this, I will overthink it."

Ning Xiuying's lips curled up into a smile. She gently stroked the hair beside her ear, her chest waves trembling, and she said with a half-smile:
"Oh? What are you thinking about? You want me to throw myself into your arms? It's not impossible."

Ning Fa was stunned. Why was this girl so unrestrained today?

Ning Xiuying chuckled, her face beautiful and charming.

Then she threw a white storage bag to Ning Fa and said, "Here are ten portions of Zeng Yuan Dan for next month, and four hundred and fifty spirit stones."

Ning Fa was stunned and couldn't help asking, "This number of spirit stones doesn't seem right, is it a little too much?"

At this time, Ning Xiuying stared at Ning Fa with an expression of envy and shock. She took a deep breath and said:
"The Ninth Elder's friend is very satisfied with the pills you made. He said that the Yuan Zeng Pill you made is very pure and effective, and much stronger than ordinary Yuan Zeng Pills. So he gave you 20% more spirit stones."

Ning Fa suddenly realized.

The success rate of the Zengyuan Pills he gave to his family and Ning Shaohong is now maintained at around 70%.

He originally wanted to increase the success rate of pill making.

It's not that he wants to hide his incompetence. After all, in the previous assessment at the Alchemy Hall, he passed the assessment with an 80% success rate. It's not surprising to see him using this success rate now.

The main reason is that he now has a huge demand for Zengyuan Dan.

So he kept all the extra Zengyuan Pills and took them himself.

Last month, he gave Ning Shaohong nearly forty Zengyuan Pills, which were worth about four hundred spirit stones according to the market price.

The friend of the Ninth Elder took the initiative to increase the amount of spirit stones by 20%. He seemed to be a connoisseur and was very open-minded, which made Ning Fa like him even more.

Of course, he also knew that the man probably saw his extraordinary alchemy skills and wanted to take the initiative to build a good relationship with him in this way.

"You are so lucky, kid. The spirit stones you earn from refining pills in a month are equal to what I earn in a year of hard work."

Ning Xiuying sighed in a half-joking, half-serious tone.

Ning Fa then understood why the woman had that expression just now.

Although Ning Xiuying is a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, her family salary is only two or three hundred spirit stones a year.

Add in the rewards for completing extra tasks, and some other income, and if you include the family contribution points, it would be around five or six hundred spirit stones.

Now Ning Fa earns so many spirit stones in a month, how can she not be extremely envious.

But Ningfa's case is a special case.

Firstly, it is impossible for ordinary alchemists to achieve his success rate, and the difficulty of making Zeng Yuan Pill is very high. It is already very good for ordinary alchemists to have a success rate of 30%, and many even have a success rate of only 10% or 20%.

Even if one worked hard to refine thirty furnaces of Zengyuan Pills in a month, he would only earn about a hundred spirit stones, and it was common to even lose spirit stones.

In addition, Ning Shaohong's wealthy friend generously provided Ning Fa with spiritual materials for free. The cost of ten spiritual materials per month was about one or two hundred spirit stones.

"Sister Xiuying, thank you for coming here. Can you come in and sit for a while?"

Ning Fa greeted with a smile.

Ning Xiuying smiled and said, "Just sit for a while?"

Ning Fa immediately said, "It's not that simple, I can do it too."

Ning Xiuying glanced at him and snorted, "I don't really want to see you right now, because it makes me feel very unbalanced. I don't even want to come and give you spiritual stones next time, so as not to make myself sad. If you have a conscience, please treat me to a meal at Yunxiangju in Jinchang Island Market."

"Of course that's no problem."

Ningfa patted his chest.

"Okay, then it's settled."

Ning Xiuying's eyes lit up, and then she gave Ning Fa a charming look, turned around and left. Ning Fa's face returned to calm, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

He provided nearly 40 pills to the family this month, which exceeded the agreed 60% success rate, and he also received hundreds of spirit stones and a lot of contribution points in addition.

Now he suddenly obtained more than 500 spirit stones, and he didn't know how to spend them.

Anyway, he doesn’t have to pay for the spirit stones for the Zengyuan Pills he uses for his current practice.

Moreover, he didn't want to buy treasures such as magical instruments now. After all, his realm had not been raised, so he would not be able to use some high-level magical instruments.

Ningfa only thought about it for a moment and came up with a good idea.

The shop in Jinchang Island Market left to him by his father is now rented out to others, and he works as a landlord to collect rent.

Ning Fa planned to take back the shop after the lease expired this year. By then, he should have a lot of spirit stones in his hands.

At that time, I had the capital to run my own shop, and I could ask my uncle and cousin Ning Zifeng to help look after it.

With the current prosperity of Jinchang Island Market, the profit would definitely be much more than that from renting it out.

He even thought that he could refine the pills himself and sell them in the shop. With his alchemy skills, he believed that he could make the shop's business very good.

After figuring this out, Ning Fa couldn't help but smile, feeling that a road to wealth was slowly unfolding before his eyes.

……

Three months later.

Inside the alchemy room, Ning Fa sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, the mysterious spells in his hands changing. Silver lightning swirled around him, forming layers of waves like water, wrapping him up.

In an instant, these silver lightnings were absorbed into Ning Fajing's body and gathered at the Liangqiu acupoint on his left leg.

There was a silver lightning ball the size of an egg that was expanding and shrinking. With the gathering of silver magic power, the silver lightning ball finally stabilized and slowly rotated like a nebula, as if there were infinite mysteries hidden in it.

This is exactly the small thunder source in the Ancient Thunder Sutra.

The next moment, this small lightning source suddenly shot out four silver rays of light.

Three of the silver rays shot towards the Tianfu acupoints on the left and right arms, and the Liangqiu acupoint on the right leg respectively.

These three acupoints also have the same silver lightning balls.

The last ray of silver light shot towards a much larger silver thunder ball at the dantian.

The other four lightning sources seemed to be stimulated and also emitted four silver rays that shot towards each other.

In a short period of time, these four small lightning sources and the main lightning source connected to each other, forming an extremely mysterious trajectory. Tiny silver runes flowed rapidly around the silver light rays connected to each other.

Ningfa instantly felt the close connection between these lightning sources, as if they were a whole.

This is also the main reason why when practicing the Ancient Source Thunder Sutra, one needs to try to open up a small source of thunder during the Qi training period.

This is because each lightning source must be closely connected with each other; any slight lack of coordination will cause the magic power to not function smoothly.

This stage is best done during the Qi training phase. Once you have reached the foundation-building stage, if you want to open up small lightning sources, it will be difficult to achieve close connections between many lightning sources.

That is why the difficulty doubles every time a small lightning source is opened up.

According to the Ancient Source of Thunder Sutra, after opening up a small thunder source, the difficulty of opening up a second small thunder source will double, and so on.

Therefore, most cultivators with thunder spiritual roots who practice this technique can only cultivate three small thunder sources.
