Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 65: This is all thanks to Qinghui

Seven days later.

Ning Fa came to the Dan Hall of Lingchang Island. It had been a long time since he last came here.

Logically speaking, since he became the family's alchemist, he could move into the alchemy hall.

However, due to Ning Ruiming's obstruction and Ning Fa's unwillingness to live in the Dan Hall due to the mysterious scroll.

I didn't force it and continued to live in my own home during this period.

Ning Fa came to Dan Hall today naturally to implement his plan, and he did not choose the time at random.

Because today is an important day for Dan Tang, it is the annual Dan Tang Conference.

At this time, Ning Zhongjiu, the third elder who is at the peak of his career in the family, will come to the Alchemy Hall to meet with all the alchemists in the family.

After all, the nominal head of the Dan Hall is the Third Elder. He usually does not come to the Dan Hall, but he will basically be present at this time every year.

Ning Fa deliberately chose today to make it impossible for Ning Ruiming to refuse his challenge in front of the third elder.

Soon after, Ning Fa arrived at a pavilion located in the center of the Dan Tang building complex.

This is the auditorium of the Dan Hall, which is usually only opened at important moments.

When Ning Fa entered the auditorium, he took a quick look and found that quite a few people were already there.

Wei Chengzong, Ning Ruiming and Liu Qinghui were seen standing in front of the central podium, placing pill bottles of different colors on the podium and whispering to each other about something.

At this moment, the three of them were wearing the standard robes of the family's official alchemist with a white background and gold patterns to show their solemnity.

Moreover, Ning Ruiming has two green bamboos embroidered on his chest, Liu Qinghui has three green bamboos, Wei Chengzong has three and a half green bamboos, and the fourth green bamboo is an illusion.

Ning Fa was also wearing the same standard Dan Tang robe today.

And there is a green bamboo on his chest, representing the rank of a first-class lower-grade alchemist.

Ning Fa looked towards the audience and saw two other official alchemists of the family wearing white clothes with gold patterns, sitting on cushions.

A man who looked to be about thirty years old, with a pointed face and monkey chin.

Although he tried to remain calm, he was still excited.

This man's name is Ning Jideng, and he comes from the Lanchang Island lineage.

Although it is a side branch, like Wenchang Island, it is one of the stronger branches among the many branches of the Ning family.

Ning Jideng is at the sixth level of Qi training and has a green bamboo on his chest.

Two years ago, he was promoted from an alchemy apprentice to the family's official alchemist.

It was hard to suppress his excitement about participating in such an important Dan Hall conference and meeting the third elder of the family.

The other one was an old man with white hair, a youthful face and a kind expression.

He was at the ninth level of Qi training, and there were two and a half green bamboos on his chest, representing the rank of a quasi-first-class top-grade alchemist.

This person's name is Ning Shumou and he is of a very high generation.

Born into the direct lineage of Yuchang Island, he has been in the Dan Hall for decades.

It’s just a pity that his talent in alchemy is a little lacking, and after all these years he still hasn’t been able to officially become a first-class top-grade alchemist.

Compared to the excited Ning Jiden, Ning Shumou was much calmer and even yawned out of boredom.

At the side, there were eight other alchemy apprentices in grey robes sitting respectfully, with nervous expressions on their faces.

These alchemy apprentices are basically members of the Ning family who have some talent in alchemy. They are the alchemy assistants of other formal alchemists and are responsible for handling some simple alchemy work.

Even though he was an alchemy apprentice, his family status was higher than many members of the Ning family, not to mention that he had the hope of becoming a formal alchemist of the family in the future. Ning Fa's arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Wei Chengzong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Ningfa, you are finally here. I was about to send someone to look for you. Please take a seat. The Third Elder will probably be here soon."

Wei Chengzong was a seasoned man and did not deliberately treat Ning Fa coldly because of Ning Ruiming.

As Ning Fa's relationship with the Ninth Elder became closer and closer, he was gradually regarded by the family as the second elder of the family.

This made Wei Chengzong regret that he had followed Ning Ruiming's instructions to deal with Ning Fa several times before.

So at this time he was very kind to Ningfa, wanting to make up for it.

Ning Ruiming looked at Ning Fa coldly, his eyes full of disgust.

Liu Qinghui looked at Ning Fa. She seemed to have noticed something. Her eyes suddenly widened as if she had seen something incredible.

At this time, Wei Chengzong also found something wrong. He stared at Ning Fa and said in disbelief: "Fourth level of Qi training! Ning Fa, you actually broke through to the middle stage of Qi training!?"

Ning Fa was seen in a white robe, with a figure as straight as a pine tree, a face as handsome as a jade, an imposing bearing, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and an extraordinary demeanor.

The key point is that at this moment, the spiritual pressure emanating from his body is several times stronger than before, even surpassing that of an ordinary mid-stage Qi training cultivator.

Ning Fa smiled and said lightly, "I was lucky enough to break through a few days ago, but it frightened Master Wei Dan."

As Ning Fa spoke, he looked at Ning Ruiming with ill intent.

At this time, Ning Ruiming had an expression as if he had seen a ghost. His face was very ugly. He could not accept it and said, "How is this possible! Don't you have a defective lightning spirit root? Aren't you only able to be in the initial stage of Qi training for the rest of your life? How did you break through!..."

Ning Ruiming seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils shrank.

Since Ning Fa has now advanced to the middle stage of Qi training, it means that he can immediately learn to refine first-grade intermediate-quality elixirs.

Judging from the alchemy talent Ning Fa has shown now, it would not be difficult for him to be promoted to a first-class intermediate-grade alchemist, and it might not even take too long.

Doesn't that mean this kid will be able to catch up with me in alchemist rank, or even surpass me?

Thinking of this, Ning Ruiming's face became even gloomier.

Looking at Ning Ruiming's ugly expression, Ning Fa sneered in his heart: "Can't you bear it? There will be a bigger surprise waiting for you later!"

Wei Chengzong obviously also thought of the crucial importance of Ning Fa's breakthrough.

The surprised expression on his face disappeared and was replaced by a more enthusiastic smile.

He even walked forward a few steps, patted Ning Fa's shoulder cordially, and laughed: "This is really great news. With your alchemy talent, it seems that our Ning family will soon have another first-class mid-grade alchemist!"

Ning Fa looked at Wei Chengzong's smiling face and secretly complained in his heart: "You old shrew, don't think I will forget how you helped the tyrant to commit atrocities. If you don't pay me a satisfactory price, I will not let you go easily."

Although he thought so in his heart, Ningfa still pretended to be polite.

Noticing that Ning Ruiming and Liu Qinghui were still staring at him, Ning Fa's eyes turned and a plan came to mind.

He looked at Liu Qinghui and said affectionately:

"I have to thank Qinghui for often accompanying me during this period. Not only did she share her experience in alchemy with me, she also encouraged me not to lose confidence in cultivation. She even made sweet-scented osmanthus cake for me. I have to thank Qinghui for my lucky breakthrough."

After saying that, Ning Fa even bowed to Liu Qinghui with a look of sincere gratitude on his face.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the auditorium was shocked.

Liu Qinghui's beautiful eyes were wide open and her expression was a little dull.

She really didn't expect Ning Fa to be so shameless and blatantly lie.
