Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 53 A Small Gift
Today is the hundred-day banquet of Ningfa's cousin's son. His cousin Xu Guanting had informed him a month ago that he must go to show his support.

When Ning Fa had just traveled through time and space, he was in urgent need of spirit stones to buy spiritual materials. It was his uncle who came to his rescue and sent him a hundred spirit stones. He will never forget this kindness.

After Ning Fa woke up from coma after being shot by Ning Zhen'an, his uncle and cousin came to see him.

At that time, Ning Fa wanted to return the spirit stones to them, but they refused to take them, so Ning Fa had to give up.

Now, Ningfa is planning to take this opportunity to give a valuable gift.

He went directly to the pier on the island, and after paying three spiritual sands, he rented a small spiritual boat to go to Shiyang Island where his uncle's home was.

Spirit sand is broken spirit stones. Because spirit stones are extremely precious, most of the transactions between low-level cultivators are for less than one spirit stone, so they are usually replaced by spirit sand. Basically, one spirit stone is equivalent to ten pieces of spirit sand.

The old man who was driving the boat was named Ning Cunli. He had five spiritual roots of low quality and was only at the second level of Qi training even at his old age.

Moreover, he was not from a branch family and was basically a loner in the entire large family.

Now that I'm older, I earn some spirit stones by ferrying spirit boats across the family's islands.

He originally didn't want to take Ning Fa's spiritual sand. After all, Ning Fa's identity was not ordinary now.

But Ning Fa didn't want to take advantage of an old man like him, so he forced it on him. Along the way, he heard a lot of interesting family stories from him.

More than half an hour later, Ningfa arrived at Shiyang Island, a hundred miles away.

The area of this island is much smaller than that of Pyeongchang Island, and the spiritual veins on the island are extremely poor, with only one first-grade low-grade spiritual vein.

The Xu family is just a small Qi-training family. More than two hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Xu family joined the Ning family.

Because of his meritorious service, he was rewarded with the Stone Sheep Island by the Ning family's great elder and was allowed to increase his family.

Up to now, the Xu family has less than twenty cultivators and tens of thousands of mortal bloodlines.

Even among the many vassal families of Ningfa, the Xu family was considered to be weak.

After the spirit boat docked at Shiyang Island, Ning Fa headed straight to the east. Soon, a lush bamboo forest appeared in front of him.

Ning Fa smiled slightly. The cultivators of the Xu family lived in this bamboo forest, which was also the place where the spiritual veins of the island gathered.

Soon after entering the bamboo forest, a courtyard built with green bamboo appeared in front of Ning Fa. Red lanterns were hung in front of the door, exuding a festive atmosphere.

And it just so happened that Ningfa's uncle Xu Changtai and cousin Xu Guanting were standing in front of the door, saying something with a serious expression.

Ningfa was originally about to say hello happily, but when he noticed their expressions, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

On such a happy day, why do my uncle and cousin look so unhappy?

At this time, cousin Xu Guanting saw Ning Fa. The solemn expression on his face disappeared and he said happily: "Xiao Fa, you are finally here!"

Xu Changtai also turned around, forced a smile on his dark face, and greeted Ning Fa in the same way.

Ning Fa's brows did not relax. He noticed that his uncle had more wrinkles on his face. After not seeing him for such a short time, he seemed to have aged a lot. He looked tired, and there was an unconcealable worry between his brows.

Although Xu Guanting forced himself to smile, he looked worried and there was a bruise on the left side of his chin, as if he had been injured.

And his left arm also looked a little unnatural, as if it was injured.

Ning Fa put away his smile, his eyes became sharp, and he asked in a deep voice: "Brother Ting, are you injured? What happened?"

Xu Changtai and Xu Guanting looked at each other. Xu Guanting showed a hint of hesitation in his eyes and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

But Xu Changtai forced a smile and said, "Guanting was accidentally injured while fishing. It's okay. Come into the house quickly. You are the only one missing." Seeing his father like this, Xu Guanting also shut up.

Ningfa glanced at them.

I knew in my heart that they must be in some trouble, but they didn't want to know it myself.

That means they think that their family's status as alchemists is not enough to solve this problem, so they don't want to make things difficult for themselves.

Ning Fa did not ask any more questions, but he had already made up his mind to ask clearly after the Hundred Days Banquet.

After Ning Fa entered the courtyard, he found that there were three banquet tables in the yard and many people were already sitting there.

These people are all cultivators of the Xu family. The highest level among them is only the sixth level of Qi training. In addition, there are some ordinary people of the Xu family with relatively high status.

Seeing Xu Changtai and Xu Guanting escorting Ning Fa in, everyone's eyes turned over there.

Their faces suddenly showed different expressions, but most of them were excited and happy.

After all, Ning Fa is Xu Changtai's nephew and is the Ning family member closest to them.

Ning Fa became the Ning Fa Alchemist not long ago, and the family's status rose greatly. They also felt proud of it.

All of a sudden, all the Xu family cultivators stood up and rushed over to greet Ning Fa.

This basic social etiquette was naturally a piece of cake for Ning Fa. He greeted everyone calmly and with a smile on his face, like a spring breeze that did not make anyone feel despised, and even made them feel flattered.

After Ning Fa took his seat, an older cultivator from the Xu family who was sitting at the same table glanced at Ning Fa, then looked at Xu Changtai and said, "Changtai, since Xiao Fa is here today, why not ask him to come forward..."

Before the man finished speaking, Xu Changtai reached out to interrupt him: "Uncle Zhen, today is a happy day, don't talk about this."

The elderly monk could only stop talking in dismay. Xu Changtai looked at Ning Faqiang and said with a smile, "It's nothing serious. Xiaofa doesn't need to worry about it. Come, eat first."

Ningfa glanced at him and was about to ask directly.

At this time, a young woman came out of the main room holding a baby, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Ning Fa stopped talking, he stood up and walked to the side, saying hello: "Sister Xia."

This young woman is my cousin Xu Guanting’s Taoist partner, her name is Lu Xia.

He was originally a casual cultivator, but was rescued by Xu Guanting when he was in danger many years ago. The two fell in love with each other and became Taoist companions.

Now I finally have bloodline, and fortunately I have spiritual roots.

As for his specific spiritual root aptitude, it will not be possible to test it until he is seven or eight years old. But no matter what kind of spiritual root it is, it is a great joy for the Xu family, which now has few members.

Although this cousin's wife is not very beautiful, she has a gentle temperament and gives off a pretty girl vibe.

She smiled gently and said softly, "Xiao Fa, hug Xiao Wu too."

Ningfa took the little nephew in his hand. The little guy was looking at him with his eyes open. His chubby little face was very cute. He looked more like his mother.

Ningfa teased the little nephew for a while, and when he saw him yawn, he returned him to his cousin's wife.

He stood up, looked around at the people at the table, and said with a smile: "Today is a happy day, and I have also prepared a small gift for this little nephew."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves lightly, and a flash of light appeared in front of him, and more than ten pill bottles appeared.
