Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 57 Weighing the pros and cons
The rough man's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said slowly: "The transfer of the waters has been approved by the Eighth Elder. It is not something you can control."

Hearing the name of the Eighth Elder, Ning Fa frowned, feeling that things were getting a little troublesome.

The rough man looked at Xu Changtai again and said in a deep voice: "For Ning Fa's sake, I can decide to increase the compensation to 800 spirit stones and give you an extra month of grace. This is the ultimatum. If we come again after a month, it won't be so easy to talk to you."

After saying that, he looked at Ning Fa deeply, then pulled Ning Jinguang, who was looking angry and unwilling, out of the courtyard.

Ning Fa's face was as gloomy as water, and he did not stop the two people.

Although he could defeat a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training, he was still no match for a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training.

Especially since he lacked experience in fighting, and the rough man was obviously an experienced fighter.

And there is no point in defeating the two of them. After all, they are backed by the Wenchang Island lineage and the eighth elder of the family.

"Xiao Fa, how are you? Are you not hurt?"

Xu Changtai hurried over.

There was still shock on his face.

Not only him, but other cultivators of the Xu family are the same.

They didn't expect that Ning Fa, who was only at the third level of Qi training, could defeat a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi training so cleanly and neatly. It really subverted their cognition.

"I'm fine, how's Ting?"

Ning Fa shook his head, then looked at Xu Guanting who was still lying on the ground with concern.

"I have given Guan Ting the rejuvenation pill and he is much better now. Thank you, Xiao Fa, for your help."

There were still traces of tears on Lu Xia's face, and she spoke to Ning Fa with gratitude.

Ning Fa went over to check on Xu Guanting and found that the bloodstains on his face had disappeared a lot. He felt relieved, but he was still very angry in his heart.

He looked at Xu Changtai and asked in a deep voice, "Uncle, what is the matter with the water transfer?"

Xu Changtai sighed, no longer concealed the truth, and told it out.

After Ning Fa heard this, his expression became uncertain.

The Xu family’s main industry is breeding spirit fish.

Five years ago, Ning Fa’s father Ning Zhiyuan had just passed away.

Because the Xu family harvested a lot of spirit fish every year, their breeding waters were targeted by someone, who forced the Xu family to transfer them.

The people who did this are from Wenchang Island.

Having lost their backing, the Xu family was forced to agree. After receiving a meager compensation, they moved to another barren water area to continue breeding spirit fish.

From then on, the harvest dropped drastically and the family could only barely make ends meet.

But recently the Xu family's fortunes have turned.

A small earthquake three months ago caused large pieces of red coral to emerge from the bottom of the lake in the Xu family's aquaculture waters.

This kind of red coral is not a very precious spiritual mineral, but a special red coral grass can grow on it.

This red coral grass is only a first-grade low-grade spiritual herb, but its growing conditions are harsh and it is known that it can only grow on red coral.

Although red coral is of low grade, it is a favorite food of many spirit fish.

If several kinds of spirit fish consume red coral regularly, it will not only speed up their growth, allowing their flesh and blood to contain richer spiritual power, but also increase the chance of the spirit fish advancing.

For example, the precious first-grade medium-quality spiritual fish [Blood Sturgeon] and [Pomfret].

The price of blood sturgeon and pomfret fed with red coral can be at least 40% to 50% higher, and the growth cycle can be shortened from the original ten years to at least two to three years.

The Xu family was overjoyed and quickly bought red coral seeds and planted them.

He also bought a huge amount of [Blood Sturgeon] and [Pomfret] fry, which cost a lot of spirit stones and almost emptied the Xu family's assets.

It can be said to be a fight of one's life and I hope to make a fortune from these spiritual fish.

But reality immediately gave the Xu family, who were full of expectations, a heavy blow.

The news that a large amount of red coral emerged from beneath their aquaculture waters somehow leaked out, and the people on Wenchang Island got the news.

So a month ago, the Wenchang Island clan sent people to force the Xu family to transfer the waters again.

Of course the Xu family refused. After all, they had almost gone bankrupt buying red coral seeds and numerous spirit fish fry.

If the waters are transferred at this time, all these investments will be wasted.

However, the Wenchang Island lineage, as a powerful branch of the Ning family besides the several direct descendants, has always been overbearing and notorious. They don't care about the life and death of the Xu family, a small vassal family.

He had already used his relationship with the eighth elder of the family to get the family to acquiesce in the matter, and then forced the Xu family to transfer.

Cousin Ningfa was already injured the last time they met.

This time they came to the Xu family and wanted to force them to sign the transfer agreement.

If Ning Fa had not been here today, the Xu family would have been forced to sign the agreement.

"Forget it, Xiaofa. It's good that they are willing to give you 800 spirit stones for your sake. It can already make up for a lot of our losses. Let's give this area to them."

Xu Changtai persuaded with a forced smile, but the sadness in his eyes could not be concealed.

The other Xu family cultivators also had sad expressions on their faces, and some of the older ones already had tears in their eyes.

They thought that the appearance of the red coral was a blessing from heaven to the Xu family, but they did not expect that it was actually a blessing for others.

Ning Fa's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were shining with a sharp light.

He was wondering whether he could help the Xu family get through this difficult time.

He is not a brainless person. He will not do something even though he knows it is impossible.

Opposite them is the powerful Wenchang Island lineage, with the eight elders of the family behind them.

Now, if I can get them to increase the compensation to eight hundred spirit stones, it is already a favor to me.

Although he also has the support of the ninth elder of the family, his relationship with Ning Shaohong is not that close now.

Asking the Ninth Elder to help you with this matter is absolutely unwise.

Regardless of whether she is willing to help or not, even if she is willing to help, the amount of favors consumed will definitely be huge.

After all, they have a feud with the Wenchang Island lineage and the Eighth Elder's lineage.

If Ning Fa insisted on asking her for help, it was very likely that Ning Shaohong would no longer care about him after helping him this time.

Ningfa quickly analyzed the pros and cons.

Although I was unwilling, I decided not to interfere.

I will compensate the Xu family when I grow up.

Even though I thought so, it was hard to get rid of the anger in my heart.

But suddenly Ningfa's expression changed, as if he had thought of something.

His eyes sparkled, and he said to Xu Changtai, "Uncle, don't rush to make a decision. Wait until I come back."

After saying that, he left the place in a hurry.

The remaining cultivators of the Xu family looked at each other, and a gleam of hope flashed in their eyes again.

……

Ning Fa arrived at the dock, and the old man Ning Cunli had not left yet.

Ning Fa rented his spirit boat again and went directly to Yunchang Island.

Not long after, Ning Fa arrived at Yunchang Island. Without even having the time to interact with Ning Xiuying, he hurried to Lingxiu Hall.

Still in that elegant attic, Ning Fa met Ning Shaohong again.

At this time, Ning Shaohong seemed to have just come out of the shower, her whole body glowing with water.

She was wearing a white and green feather gauze dress, her exquisite curves were faintly visible.

That kind of mature and beautiful charm was too much for even the experienced Ning Fa to bear, and he was dazed for a moment.

Ning Shaohong stared at Ning Fa with her clear eyes, a faint smile in her eyes.

For some reason, seeing Ninfa always put her in a good mood.

In her opinion, Ningfa looks like his father, but even better in appearance, with a handsome face and a delicate figure, as handsome as jade.

It was just that Ning Fa’s previous personality was dull, cowardly and stubborn, which made her dislike him. So even after Ning Zhiyuan passed away, she still didn’t like Ning Fa very much.

But now Ning Fa seems to have improved his alchemy skills and personality. He knows when to advance and retreat, and is full of confidence. She sees the style of his father, so she has an even better impression of Ning Fa.
