Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 69 Nervous preparation
Yunchang Island, in Lingxiu Hall.

After Ning Shaohong finished reading the recipe for the Sanyuan Pill, he murmured, "Although the spiritual materials needed for this pill are precious, Shiqin's channels should provide a stable supply of these spiritual materials. I will contact her immediately and try to ensure that I can provide you with at least 15 spiritual materials every month."

Ning Fa, however, looked hesitant.

He had read the recipe and knew that the spiritual material of the Sanyuan Pill was very valuable, far exceeding that of the Zengyuan Pill.

Six main materials and five auxiliary materials are required.

The most important main ingredient is [Mist Spirit Flower].

Not only must it be a first-grade, mid-quality spiritual herb, the medicinal herb must also be at least twenty years old.

This kind of spiritual material alone requires at least twenty spiritual stones.

There is another important main material [Essence Fire Liquid], which is also a precious auxiliary spiritual liquid.

It is a spiritual material needed for many mid- to high-level elixirs, and its value is even slightly higher than that of the Mist Spirit Flower.

These two kinds of spiritual materials alone cost more than forty spirit stones, and all the spiritual materials together cost more than seventy spirit stones.

Fifteen portions per month would cost almost a thousand spirit stones, which is not a small amount, and it has to be supplied for three months.

He hesitated and said, "Aunt Hong, these spiritual materials are very expensive, my nephew..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Shaohong stretched out his hand to interrupt him and said calmly: "Don't worry about these issues for now, just focus on refining the pill. You can make up for the spiritual materials you consumed when you refine the pill later."

Ningfa hurriedly thanked him.

Ning Shaohong seemed to have thought of something, and continued: "Why don't you move to Yunchang Island? The spiritual energy here is richer, and it can also ensure that you will not be disturbed by the outside world."

Ning Fa thought about it and declined politely: "Auntie Hong, I am used to refining pills at home. If I suddenly change places, I am afraid that I will not be able to adapt, which will affect my refining of pills."

Ning Shaohong nodded: "In that case, I will send Xiuying to follow you during this period of time."

Ning Fa felt a warm feeling in his heart, knowing that Aunt Hong was worried that Ning Ruiming would resort to despicable means again, so she asked Ning Xiuying to be her bodyguard.

He didn't refuse this time and thanked her again.

Ning Xiuying, who was standing aside, had a strange look in her beautiful eyes.

Ning Shaohong smiled and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are the dismount this time. As long as you don't lose badly in the competition, it will be a victory for you. Go ahead. I will send someone to deliver the spiritual materials to your home as soon as possible."

Ning Fa said respectfully, "Aunt Hong's help to me will be unforgettable to me."

Ning Shaohong smiled lightly and said nothing.

Ning Fa then took Ning Xiuying back to Pyeongchang Island.

"Sister Xiuying, I'm sorry to bother you during this period. You can live in this room in the front yard."

Ning Fa said to Ning Xiuying.

Ning Xiuying is still wearing her iconic armor, which makes her figure look extremely explosive.

Ning Fa secretly complained in her heart: "Auntie Hong, did you send this girl here to protect yourself or to test yourself?"

Ning Xiuying looked at him with a half-smile: "Are you sure you don't want me to live with you and protect you closely?"

Ning Fa said with a look of surprise: "Is it really possible?"

What Ning Fa didn't expect was that Ning Xiuying actually nodded, and she didn't look like she was joking.

Ning Fa was shocked and quickly said with a smile: "Sister Xiuying, please stop joking with me. The next three months are very important to me. If you keep hanging around me, how can I have the energy to make pills?"

Ning Xiuying chuckled: "You cowardly little rascal."

Then she turned her beautiful eyes and said in a seductive tone: "Then you better try your best. If you really beat Ning Ruiming in the competition, I can agree to one condition of yours."

Ningfa's eyes widened and he asked, "Any conditions are acceptable?"

Ning Xiuying smiled seductively and nodded slightly.

Ning Fa's eyes moved to the waves on Ning Xiuying's chest. He couldn't help but think of what this girl said before, that if he could become a first-class middle-grade alchemist in the family, she could consider letting him do that.

Now it seems that this lady is not joking.

Ning Fa suddenly felt that he had one more reason to defeat Ning Ruiming.

Ning Fa patted his chest and said, "Even if it's for Sister Xiuying, I must defeat Ning Ruiming."

Ning Xiuying smiled and said no more.

At this time, Ning Fa seemed to have thought of something, and said calmly, "Oh, by the way, Sister Xiuying, I don't want to be disturbed when I'm refining the elixir, so I'll set up a warning array in my alchemy room to block the detection of cultivators' spiritual sense. Please don't be offended, Sister Xiuying."

Ning Xiuying nodded, without any surprise.

Even in the Lingxiu Hall, when Ning Shaohong was personally sewing the monk's robes, he would activate the defensive formation to ensure that he could concentrate.

Ning Fa also had this habit when making alchemy, which seemed very normal to Ning Xiuying.

Ning Fa returned to the alchemy room and activated the Ringwraith formation.

Then he picked up the jade slip containing the recipe for the Sanyuan Pill and placed it against his forehead, beginning to comprehend it carefully.

He wanted to comprehend the recipe of the Sanyuan Pill as soon as possible before the spiritual materials for the Pill arrived, so that he could have a general idea of it.

Although he was very confident that he could defeat Ning Ruiming in the competition after March, he would never be complacent.

You can despise your opponent strategically, but you must pay attention to him tactically.

During these three months, he will re-enter his previous crazy state of preparing for the alchemist examination and will not waste a single moment of time.

……

Yuanchang Island, Ning Ruiming's home.

Ning Jiannan, dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking quite dignified, sat on the main seat, tapping the rosewood table beside him lightly with his right hand, with a pensive look on his face.

Ning Ruiming sat on his right, brows furrowed, looking under a lot of pressure.

"Ning Fa's move was extremely vicious. He deserved to lose. Others would at most say that he overestimated his own abilities. But don't say you lost. As long as it's not an overwhelming victory, it's a big defeat, which will seriously affect your status in the Dan Hall and the family."

Ning Jiannan stopped tapping the table and couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, Ning Ruiming's face became even gloomier.

Ning Jiannan's face was still calm. He continued, "The deadline is only three months. Although that guy has some talent in alchemy, he can't possibly beat you. He probably just wants to use this as a gimmick and wants to compete with you until the result is not too big. This will be a victory for him and will allow him to regain the family's attention."

"So in this competition, you must win big no matter what. You can't give him such a chance. Otherwise, your success rate of nearly 30% won't be good enough. It should be at least 40% to be safe."

Seeing that Ning Ruiming still looked grim, Ning Jiannan frowned and said, "Are you not sure that the success rate of pills can be raised to 40% within three months?"

Ning Ruiming shook his head slowly and admitted through gritted teeth: "I'm really not sure."

Ning Jiannan's eyes fixed, and he said sternly: "Even if you are not sure, you must be sure! You can't afford to lose this competition! The third elder has sent me a message, you must beat Ning Fa in this competition!"

"For the next three months, the Third Elder will provide you with ten portions of spiritual materials for Sanyuan Dan every month. In addition, our branch will also provide you with at least fifteen portions of spiritual materials for Sanyuan Dan every month. With so many spiritual materials for you to practice, you must raise your success rate!"

Ning Ruiming's eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly: "With so many spiritual materials to practice with, I am still somewhat confident."

Ning Jiannan frowned and said, "Just being somewhat confident is not enough. Let me send a message to Wei Chengzong, asking him to do his best to teach you how to refine Sanyuan Dan during this period. Although Wei Chengzong's ability to refine first-grade high-quality elixirs is not satisfactory, refining Sanyuan Dan is not a problem for him."

Ning Ruiming nodded, his expression relaxed a lot, and his heart felt much more at ease.

But he hated Ning Fa, who had put him in such a passive situation, with gnashing teeth.

Ning Jiannan seemed to have thought of something, and warned again: "By the way, you must not cheat in this competition, otherwise the Third Elder will be unhappy. You must defeat that kid fair and square."

Hearing this, Ning Ruiming could only suppress his other thoughts and nodded in agreement.
