Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 63 Explanation
Ten days later.

In the Lingxiu Hall on Yunchang Island.

"What! You broke through to the fourth level of Qi training!?"

Ning Shaohong, who is always calm and elegant, rarely lost her composure.

She was now shocked and exclaimed with her hands covering her mouth.

Ning Fa, who was standing by, smiled embarrassedly. He was not surprised by Ning Shaohong's shock.

After all, the family tried every possible means at that time, and even got a lot of second-level elixirs.

None of them could help him break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi training, so he finally gave up.

Now that he had been abandoned by his family, he had quietly broken through to the middle stage of Qi training, which naturally shocked Ning Shaohong.

Ning Shaohong seemed to have thought of something and asked anxiously, "Could it be that... your incomplete lightning spirit root has recovered?"

Ning Fa shook his head and replied, "It shouldn't be. My nephew refined a special Yuan Zeng Pill a few days ago. After taking that Yuan Zeng Pill, he luckily broke through the bottleneck in the middle stage."

Hearing this, Ning Shaohong couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

But a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she asked, "Special Zeng Yuan Dan? You don't mean the Yi Wen Zeng Yuan Dan, after all, you can already refine this kind of pill stably."

Ning Fa pretended to smile complacently and said, "Aunt Hong, I have refined a quasi-second-level Yuan Zeng Dan. After taking it, I successfully broke through to the middle stage of Qi training."

Ning Shaohong was shocked again.

She opened her red lips slightly, and was stunned for a long time before she said in disbelief: "Two-line Yuan Enhancement Pill...? How is this possible..."

If she could accept the elixir with one pattern refined by Ning Fa, then the elixir with two patterns was really beyond her understanding.

Adding one more Dao pattern to a medicinal pill is far from as simple as one plus one.

The art of alchemy has a long-standing tradition.

If a pill with a pattern is refined, it means that the alchemist has refined the pill into a perfect state according to the recipe and there is no room for improvement.

The two-patterned elixir is the result of the alchemist's refining of the elixir, which has gone beyond the elixir formula and has a unique understanding.

And it has been recognized by the laws of alchemy, taking it one step further towards perfection.

There are even three-line, four-line, and even higher level elixirs, but this kind of elixir only exists in legends.

With the addition of one Dao pattern, not only will the efficacy of the medicine be doubled, but it will also possess some unimaginable mysterious abilities.

Not to mention the second-level alchemists, there are even many third-level alchemy masters now.

Maybe he could refine a first-level pill occasionally, but he would probably never be able to refine a second-level pill in his lifetime.

This is not to say that Ning Fa's current alchemy level has surpassed these alchemy masters, but it can definitely be said that Ning Fa has surpassed them in the level of refining Zengyuan Pills.

This naturally also means that Ning Fa’s potential for alchemy is extremely high.

At least Ning Shaohong had never heard of any alchemy master who could make Dao-patterned elixirs during the Qi Refining Stage.

Seeing Ning Shaohong was stunned for a long time, Ning Fa quickly reminded her: "Auntie Hong, that is not a complete two-pattern pill. The second pattern is just a prototype and has not been fully formed. But this pill is indeed extraordinary. After I took it, I felt a mysterious energy working in my body. This should be the main reason why I was able to break through."

Ning Shaohong then realized that he had heard it wrong. It turned out to be the prototype of two patterns.

She breathed a sigh of relief, which made her more accepting.

But there was still a hint of disbelief in her eyes when she looked at Ningfa.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that it allowed Ning Fa to break through to the middle stage of Qi training, that quasi-two-line Zengyuan Pill was extraordinary.

After all, the family had prepared some extremely precious second-level elixirs, but they still couldn't help Ning Fa break through. But this was also normal.

Although the Zengyuan Pill is not of high grade, its Dao patterns contain the Dao rhyme of the alchemy path, and it possesses mysterious effects that are unimaginable even for high-grade pills.

Ning Shaohong's beautiful eyes sparkled as she asked, "Xiao Fa, are you sure you can refine another quasi-second-level Yuan Zeng Dan?"

Ning Fa quickly shook his head: "It should be difficult. I was in a strange state that day. It felt like a dream. I even forgot that I was refining the elixir. When I woke up, the elixir was ready. No matter how hard I tried afterwards, I couldn't restore the state at that time."

Ning Shaohong couldn't help showing a trace of regret on her jade face, but then she shook her head and smiled, "I was greedy. You were lucky enough to get that state of enlightenment and obtain that quasi-second-level Dao pattern Zeng Yuan Dan, which allowed you to advance to the middle stage of Qi training."

Ning Fa nodded repeatedly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In fact, he was lying. He did not refine the quasi-second-level Yuan Zeng Dan.

The reason why he said this was to find a suitable reason for his sudden advancement.

He had already decided not to tell anyone the secret of his body, including his family.

The main reason was what happened to his third uncle and Ning Yuwen.

He doesn't want to die young in the future.

What's more, there is also the equally mysterious scroll in his body.

Now the scroll is in his right arm.

Ning Fa was worried that if his family thought that his lightning spiritual root had become complete again, they would invite some expert to examine his body out of curiosity, and if they discovered his mysterious scroll, he would be in big trouble.

So he decided to hide it all and keep his growth under control.

Because of these reasons, Ning Facai lied that he had refined a quasi-second-level Zengyuan Pill to find a suitable excuse for himself.

After all, he was already able to stably refine a first-line Yuan Zeng Dan, so it wouldn't be strange even if he accidentally refined a quasi-second-line pill.

Now it seems that Ning Shaohong obviously had no doubts.

Ning Shaohong regained his composure, but his eyes were shining as he looked at Ning Fa.

When Ning Fa came to her for help with a Wen Zeng Yuan Dan, she was so shocked that she even ignored the resentment in her heart.

He found the second elder Ning Weidong, hoping that Ning Weidong would do his best to help Ning Falai break through.

However, Ning Weidong believed that it would be difficult for Ning Fa to break through to the middle stage of Qi training, and that his training value was not high, so he deliberately said that he would only consider it after Ning Fa broke through to the middle stage of Qi training.

Unexpectedly, after such a short period of time, Ning Fa really broke through.

Ning Shaohong has made up her mind that she will go find Ning Weidong again and persuade him to devote all his energy to training Ning Fa.

This is not only to help Ningfa, but also for their lineage.

After training Ning Fa, he no longer has to worry about being restricted by the Third Elder when it comes to making elixirs.

Ning Fa was a little frightened by Aunt Hong's gaze. He coughed lightly and said, "Aunt Hong, actually, I came here this time because I want to ask you for another favor."

Ning Shaohong smiled elegantly: "There's no need to be so formal between you and me, but you can talk about it."

Ning Fa's expression straightened and he spoke in a deep voice.

After listening, Ning Shaohong frowned and looked at Ning Fa, with some confusion in her eyes.

She said slowly, "Did I hear you right? You are going to challenge Ning Ruiming and compete with him in alchemy? And you are going to make the most difficult first-grade intermediate elixir, the [Sanyuan Pill]!?"
