Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 52: A Pattern Pill
Ning Fa cultivated four small thunder sources in the initial stage of Qi training, and it only took three or four months.

If other cultivators with thunder spiritual roots who practiced the Ancient Source Thunder Sutra knew this, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop.

But Ning Fa possesses the Great Five Elements Thunder Body, which is also a legend in the upper realm. It has a huge bonus for practicing any thunder-related techniques.

It's not surprising that this can be achieved.

After this small lightning source was opened up, the spiritual pressure emanating from Ning Fa increased again, and was already far above that of an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of Qi training.

At this moment, the total amount of mana in his body is several times more than that of the cultivators of the same level. The mana power he has developed through practicing the top-level technique, the Ancient Source Thunder Sutra, is incomparable to that of other cultivators.

What's more, after being purified by the mysterious five elements thunder pattern, the power of this magic power has doubled.

After feeling happy, Ning Fa frowned slightly.

He thought that after opening up this fourth small source of thunder, he would be able to reach the bottleneck of breaking through the realm, but he didn't expect that it was still not enough.

But it was almost time, Ningfa could already vaguely sense that boundary.

Next, he planned to open up a fifth small lightning source at the Tanzhong point on his chest.

He had a hunch that once this small source of lightning was successfully developed, it would be the time for him to break through to the middle stage of Qi training.

Ning Fa did not continue to practice. Today's practice time was up, and now it was time to refine the elixir.

During these three months, in addition to refining Zengyuan Pills, he also gradually mastered the refining of Huiqi Pills and Buyuan Pills, and his success rate has recently stabilized at over 30%.

But Ning Fa still spent most of his time on refining the Zengyuan Pill.

Time and again, he restored the successfully refined Zengyuan Pills into spiritual materials, and after summarizing his experience, he would start the next refining.

Although the process was boring, Ning Fa enjoyed it and invested immense enthusiasm and concentration.

With his efforts, he became more and more proficient in refining Zengyuan Pill, and the success rate of making the pill has stabilized at a level close to 100%.

Ning Fa's understanding of this elixir also reached a new stage.

He could clearly feel the improvement in his alchemy skills, and it was thanks to this that he was able to master the Qi-replenishing and rejuvenation pills in such a short period of time.

One evening, Ning Fa refined another batch of Zengyuan Pills.

This time when he was refining the elixir, he felt that his condition was better than ever before. It was extremely smooth and silky, and he even felt as if his body was instinctively refining the elixir.

When the whole alchemy process was over, Ning Fa had the illusion of waking up from a dream.

At this time, the alchemy furnace in front of him emitted a colorful glow, and faint Sanskrit sounds were heard.

Ning Fa had a strange look on his face. He waved his hand, the alchemy furnace opened, and suddenly several pills flew out in a ball of light.

One of the pills was different from the others. It shone with colorful rays of light all over, and there was a natural mark on its surface, with mysterious runes flashing in the mark.

"A vein-enhancing elixir!?"

Ningfa exclaimed.

At this time, he had already entered the realm of alchemy and naturally had a very good understanding of Dao-patterned elixirs. He knew clearly what the appearance of Dao-patterns on elixirs meant.

This is what countless alchemists dream of. Even many second-level alchemists cannot refine Dao-patterned elixirs in their entire lives.

Being able to refine Dao-patterned pills means that one has already reached a high level in alchemy and has great potential. One will have the opportunity to become a master of alchemy in the future.

When Ning Fa was taking the assessment in the Alchemy Hall, he had already refined a Zengyuan Pill with the embryonic form of Dao patterns on it. Although it was only a prototype, it still shocked everyone.

This is also a major reason why Ning Shaohong attaches great importance to Ningfa.

It is recorded in the family that Ning Chuyun, the ancestor of the Ning family who was famous for his alchemy skills, had made Dao-patterned elixirs three times.

He even once refined a second-level elixir with a Dao pattern. Ning Chuyun used this priceless Dao pattern elixir to help the Ning family survive a catastrophe. "Hahaha! I am indeed a genius!"

Ningfa laughed loudly and shamelessly did not mention the function of the mysterious scroll at all.

"It is said that Daowen pills not only have strong medicinal effects, but also have some special functions. I wonder what special functions this Daowen Zengyuan Pill I refined will have?"

Ning Fa placed the Yuan Zeng Dan with a pattern in front of his eyes and examined it carefully, talking to himself curiously.

Then he smiled and swallowed the pill directly into his stomach.

You’ll know what the effects are after you take it, right?
As he swallowed the pill, a huge and pure spiritual power suddenly burst out in his body. The medicinal power was several times greater than other Yuan-enhancing Pills.

Ningfa couldn't help but cry out in pleasure.

As the spiritual power transformed by this elixir was continuously transformed into silver magic power through the five elements of thunder pattern, Ning Fa could even vaguely feel the location of the barrier in his dantian, and there was a slight feeling of looseness.

Ning Fa was extremely surprised. He now roughly understood the function of this Yuan Zeng Dan with a pattern on it.

The efficacy is about three to four times that of ordinary Zengyuan Dan.

This is secondary. The key point is that this elixir actually has the ability to assist in breaking through bottlenecks!
Ning Fa no longer hesitated and quickly began to practice his skills, trying to see if he could break through the mid-term bottleneck.

After a whole day, Ningfa, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

There was a trace of regret on his face. Although this Yidaowen Zengyuan Pill was extremely effective, it still couldn't help him break through the bottleneck. He still hadn't reached the threshold for a breakthrough.

Yesterday, it was only under the special medicinal power of that Yidaowen Zengyuan Pill that I felt the opportunity for a breakthrough.

Ningfa felt a little uneasy.

Although this Great Five Elements Thunder Body was indeed mysterious and powerful, he was also a bit troubled by the high threshold for breaking through this technique.

This is just the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi training. What about the bottleneck in the later stage of Qi training or even in the foundation building?

Thinking of this, Ningfa felt even more headache.

But it’s okay now, because of the bonus of the Thunder Body to the Ancient Source Thunder Sutra, his cultivation speed is actually still very fast.

In less than half a year, he cultivated the main thunder source and four small thunder sources, which was something other cultivators with thunder spiritual roots dared not even think about.

Ning Fa calmed himself down and continued to refine the elixir, wanting to try if he could refine another Dao pattern elixir.

But no matter how hard he tried, he could not refine the Dao pattern elixir again.

He couldn't help but reflect on himself, feeling that he was being too deliberate and lacked the sense of being natural and spontaneous.

After figuring this out, Ning Fa quickly refined another Yuan Zeng Dan with a pattern on it.

It seemed like he had figured out the trick, and from then on he could basically refine one pill with one pattern for every ten batches of pills.

Under the effect of the mysterious scroll, it is equivalent to giving him a portion of spiritual materials for Zengyuan Dan. He will definitely be able to refine a pill with one pattern.

This is a bit scary. Even if you ask a master alchemist to refine the elixir he is best at, he cannot guarantee that he can refine a Dao pattern elixir.

Ning Fa took all the refined one-pattern pills himself, because the spiritual power transformed from this kind of pill could convert several times more silver magic power, which greatly improved his cultivation efficiency.

Another two months have passed.

The small lightning source at the Tanzhong point on Ningfa's chest has begun to take shape and is not far from being successfully developed.

Because the difficulty would double with each additional small lightning source opened, it took a little longer to open the small lightning source this time.

On this day, Ning Fa, who had been staying at home for half a year, stopped practicing and refining medicine and walked out of the house.
