Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 71 Secret Help
One month later.

Lingchang Island, in the highest grade alchemy room in the Alchemy Hall.

"open!"

Following a loud shout, a three-legged, two-eared alchemy furnace in the center of the alchemy room burst into light.

As the light flowed, the alchemy furnace opened and a ball of light flew out from it.

Wei Chengzong waved his hand and the ball of light flew into his hand.

There were three light blue pills in the glow, two of which were round and full of spiritual energy.

There are three faint misty rings on each pill, slowly rotating around the pill, which is quite mysterious.

The other pill was oval in shape, with cracks on the surface.

There was no magical aura surrounding it, so it was obviously a useless pill.

Wei Chengzong stroked his beard and smiled, "Not bad, not bad. This is the third time in the past seven days that Ruiming has successfully refined two Sanyuan Pills. This is a great improvement. The success rate has stabilized at 30% these days."

Ning Ruiming, who was standing aside, had a pale face, slightly dark corners of his eyes, and looked extremely exhausted.

But when he saw the two successful pills he had refined, a look of joy appeared on his face, as if he was relieved.

Ning Fa's challenge put him under tremendous pressure. Over the past month, he had taken an unprecedented serious attitude towards refining the elixir.

Under Wei Chengzong's detailed instruction, his proficiency in refining the Sanyuan Pill finally improved a little.

Wei Chengzong shook his head and smiled, "In my opinion, Ruiming, you don't need to push yourself so hard. After all, Sanyuan Pill is one of the most difficult first-grade intermediate pills. Ning Fa has only just entered the middle stage of Qi training. If he can achieve a 10% success rate in refining this pill in just three months, I would find it incredible. There is no way he can beat you."

"I guess he just wants to use this challenge to regain the family's attention. He doesn't expect to really beat you."

Hearing this, Ning Ruiming's eyes flashed.

In fact, he himself thinks the same way.

But this challenge is too important to him, and the serious consequences of losing the competition make him shudder. Under this pressure, he must go all out.

Wei Chengzong laughed again and said, "You have used up a lot of your mana and spiritual consciousness. Don't make any more pills today. Take good care of your breathing. I'll come back tomorrow."

Ning Ruiming nodded: "Thank you, Master Wei."

After Wei Chengzong left, Ning Ruiming, who was exhausted, didn't want to meditate and regulate his breathing.

He sat in the chair and breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally solemn expression relaxed a lot.

The recent increase in the success rate of Sanyuan Pills made him feel much more at ease.

At this time, a sound of soft footsteps was heard. Ning Ruiming turned around and saw Liu Qinghui walking slowly towards him.

She was wearing a water green palace dress, which made her look pure and charming. Her figure was like a willow, graceful and elegant, with an excellent demeanor.

"Qinghui, why are you here?"

Ning Ruiming said with a look of surprise on his face.

"What is your success rate in making Sanyuan Dan now?"

Liu Qinghui asked softly with a calm expression.

Ning Ruiming said complacently: "Recently, my success rate in refining Sanyuan Dan has stabilized at around 30%."

After saying that, Ning Ruiming looked at Liu Qinghui affectionately again: "Qinghui, are you worried about me? I am really touched, but you don't have to worry. I will definitely win the competition in two months, and it will be a big win."

Liu Qinghui frowned slightly and asked calmly, "Do you think you can definitely beat Ning Fa?"

Ning Ruiming was stunned, and asked in confusion: "Is a 30% success rate not enough? It's a miracle that Ning Fa can make a successful Sanyuan Pill within three months."

Liu Qinghui shook her head: "Do you think Ning Fa would challenge you openly if he was not sure of winning?"

As soon as he said this, the smile on Ning Ruiming's face slowly faded. He said in disbelief, "Can he really make Sanyuan Dan reach a 30% success rate in three months? How is this possible!?"

Liu Qinghui looked out the window and said calmly, "Everyone in the family originally thought that Ning Fa would have no hope of advancing in this lifetime, but now he has advanced, so why is it impossible for him to do this?"

"Besides, Ningfa has now regained the family's attention and is in high spirits. If he challenges you without being sure, it will only frustrate his own spirit and build your reputation. I don't think he would be so stupid."

Ning Ruiming's brows were tightly furrowed.

Liu Qinghui's words destroyed his relaxed mood.

Liu Qinghui looked at him and said calmly, "So your 30% success rate is not safe. In my opinion, it should be at least close to 50%."

"Fifty percent?"

Ning Ruiming exclaimed.

This success rate of pill making was simply unimaginable for him, especially when there were only two months left.

Liu Qinghui smiled softly and said, "It just so happens that I have gained a lot of experience in refining Sanyuan Pills recently. I can already achieve a success rate of at least 50% for this pill. I will personally teach you in the next two months. You should still have hope of being able to do it. It should be very certain that you can at least increase the success rate to 40%."

Ning Ruiming was stunned at first, then he said with surprise: "Really? Qinghui, you are so nice to me!"

Ning Ruiming was moved to tears.

He thought about how he had suspected Liu Qinghui and Ning Fa had an affair before, and he felt so regretful that he wanted to slap himself.

Excited, he took a step forward and wanted to hold Liu Qinghui's hand.

Liu Qinghui took a step back without leaving a trace.

She lowered her eyes, and a hint of disgust flashed deep in her eyes.

Then he whispered, "Get ready, I'll come again tomorrow."

After saying that, she turned around and left with light lotus steps.

Ning Ruiming was left standing there with an excited look on his face.

……

In a flash, another two months passed.

Early that morning, Ning Xiuying stood in the yard, looking towards the alchemy room frequently, with a hint of nervousness on her face.

Today is the day when Ning Fa and Ning Ruiming will compete in alchemy, but Ning Fa has not come out yet.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried, and there was no response to the sound transmission note she sent out.

Just when Ning Xiuying was hesitating whether to break the ban and enter the room by force.

A blue-white light rippled through the door of the alchemy room, and Ning Fa's figure walked out.

At this moment, he was wearing a green robe, his hair was a little messy, and he looked sleepy, obviously having just woken up.

But it still couldn't hide his handsome and elegant appearance.

Looking at him, Ning Xiuying, who was always bold and outgoing, blushed for some reason.

Ning Fa first looked Ning Xiuying up and down, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister Xiuying, are you worried about me?"

Ning Xiuying returned to normal and said nervously, "Stop messing around. Today is the day of the competition. How are you preparing?"

Ning Fa shrugged and said deliberately, "I am very nervous now, but if Sister Xiuying is willing to encourage me, maybe I won't be nervous anymore and may even perform beyond my normal level."

Ning Xiuying laughed sweetly and glanced at him: "You are still able to talk nonsense. It seems that I have been worried about you for nothing."

The next moment, her beautiful eyes turned, and she actually walked forward and gently hugged Ningfa.
