Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 6: Thousand Waves Lake

However, not long after Ning Fa's parents got into trouble, the deed to the shop was given to Ning Fa's aunt Ning Muchun and uncle Meng Jinliang.

This shop was originally rented out to someone else. Ningfa's aunt and uncle found Ningfa and said they wanted to rent this shop to sell spiritual materials.

My predecessor agreed without much thought, considering that they were relatives from the same branch of his family, and even offered a slightly lower rent than before.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but feel speechless. This predecessor was really a big villain.

You could have rented it, but you were actually tricked by the two aunts into giving you the land deed with sweet words, which made Ning Fa, the latecomer, so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

At first, this aunt could pay the rent normally, but later she paid less and less, and even stopped paying altogether.

In the last year, his predecessor was really short of spirit stones and wanted to take back the title deed and sell the shop.

However, my two aunts found all kinds of excuses to stop me and I never succeeded.

Moreover, after Ning Zhiyuan's death, my aunt and uncle became the leaders of their branch because they had the highest cultivation level in their branch.

Especially my uncle Meng Jinliang, although he is a son-in-law, he is the only late-stage Qi training cultivator in their branch.

With his support, although Ning Muchun is a woman, she also has the right to speak in the branch.

In this situation, the other two uncles couldn't do much to help.

Moreover, the two families do not have cultivators with outstanding qualifications, and their say in the branches is not much.

Thinking of this, Ningfa breathed a sigh of relief.

He decided to go find that aunt first. Even if he couldn't get the land deed back, getting back fifty spirit stones would be enough.

As for the land deed, he was not in a hurry. He would wait until he officially became the family alchemist and then settle the accounts with that aunt.

Time is precious, Ning Fa didn't have time to rest and immediately went out to Ning Muchun's house.

……

After Ningfa left home, he could hear the faint sound of waves and the air was noticeably very humid.

This is because Ningfa is currently located on the edge of an island called Pyeongchang Island.

In fact, the entire Ning family is located on a large lake called Qianbo Lake.

The area of this lake is comparable to the largest lake on Blue Planet, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a sea area.

Qianbo Lake is so vast that the Ning family is naturally not the only cultivator family here.

There are also dozens of other large and small cultivator families, as well as many independent cultivator forces.

The Ning family is considered to be a powerful family among them, and can be ranked in the top three.

The family has four foundation-building cultivators and nearly five hundred cultivators, among whom there are more than sixty or seventy people in the late Qi training realm.

There are millions of other mortal bloodlines.

With such strength, only the Xue family and the Qian family can be compared with it.

Although there are some other foundation-building families, they basically have only one foundation-building ancestor and are far from comparable to these families.

Others are mostly Qi training families or small forces that do not even have foundation-building cultivators.

And the Qianbo Lake is not peaceful.

Not only are there frequent attacks from monsters in the lake, but robbery cultivators are also rampant.

Because the environment of Qianbo Lake is naturally suitable for the survival of robbery cultivators.

Qianbo Lake even formed a robbery organization called the Iron Armor Alliance.

Among them, there are two leaders at the foundation-building level.

With such strength, it can be regarded as the second-tier force in Qianbo Lake.

Small forces can only huddle together for warmth.

Only a powerful force like the Ning family would not be dared to attack by the robbers.

Over the past 600 years, the Ning family has grown from a small Qi training family in Qianbo Lake to where it is today, which can be said to be extremely difficult.

In addition to the right time and place.

It’s more about harmony among people.

But the harmony of the Ning family is different. It does not refer to family unity.

But like a pack of wolves.

Because the Ning family has always implemented the wolf-like strategy, which is very close to the style of the evil sect.

The Ning family encourages their children to fight against competition and advocates the law of the jungle.

Apart from the basic family benefits, you have to fight and grab for all the other good things on your own.

You can even do whatever it takes.

This is like raising a Gu.

The family members who stand out in this way are basically ruthless and have both strength and skill.

Compared with it, other cultivation families of the same size are like docile sheep.

Therefore, the Ning family always has the last laugh in every foreign war, and their strength continues to grow.

This is how we have grown step by step to the scale we have today.

This household management strategy naturally has its drawbacks.

That is, it is easy for family members to become selfish, or even lack loyalty to the family and easily rebel.

This requires strong family leadership to exercise control.

Fortunately, over the years, the top leaders of the Ning family have basically been people of great talent and strategy.

Extremely strict family laws were formulated, and family rebellion was punished severely.

Even relatives of the same branch would be executed directly without any leniency.

At the same time, the rewards for foreign wars were extremely generous. The family that received the spoils took a small portion, while the family members who participated received the bulk of the rewards.

Ning Fa felt that the Ning family's strategy was very similar to that of the Qin State before it unified the six kingdoms.

In this way, the wolf nature of the Ning family members is guaranteed, and a certain degree of family cohesion is also guaranteed.

Therefore, in foreign wars, the Ning family cultivators were like wolves and tigers, and would use any means necessary.

Even if the means are immoral and against nature, as long as they are not too serious, the Ning family will turn a blind eye.

This also made the Ning family notorious in Qianbo Lake.

There is even a saying circulating: "It is better to offend Jie Xiu than to offend the Ning family."

Now, the Ning family defeated the Qian family, an old foundation-building family, in one fell swoop a few years ago.

It has replaced the Qian family and become the second most powerful family in Qianbo Lake, only below the Xue family.

Only at this time did the Ning family stop their conquests, retract their claws, and begin to develop steadily.

But the long-standing customs have not changed.

Even Ningfa's elder aunt's act of occupying Ningfa's shop can be considered a reflection of this trend.

This also made Ning Fa quite speechless. Why couldn't he be reborn into a harmonious and friendly monk family?
Today, the Ning family is huge and powerful, with many internal branches, and the struggles among them are extremely fierce.

Although Ning Fa is now only at the bottom of the Ning family, he has still heard about these news.

But these do not hinder the Ning family's current prosperity.

Today, the Ning family controls hundreds of islands of all sizes in Qianbo Lake, and many cultivators of the Ning family and many mortal bloodlines are scattered on these islands.

There are more than forty islands containing spiritual veins, and the best one even reaches the second-grade superior spiritual vein.

That is Ningchang Island, the ancestral home of the Ning family. Only the core members of the Ning family can live here.

After Ning Fa was diagnosed with thunder spiritual roots, he was taken to Ningchang Island by his family to practice.

But as expected, he lost his permanent residence status and returned to his original Pyeongchang Island.

Pyeongchang Island is also where the Ningfa lineage and some other family branches live. It is quite large in area and has a spiritual vein that barely reaches the middle level of the first grade.

The island is mainly inhabited by monks from several side branches and some of their direct mortal relatives.

Most mortal bloodlines are not qualified to live on such an island with spiritual veins.
