Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 8: The overall situation is important?

Ning Muchun stood up and said calmly, "Xiao Fa, let's use today to make this matter clear."

"Yes, it was indeed your father who bought the shop, but your father also said that he wanted to make the shop a public property of our family. It's just that he died so suddenly that he didn't have time to tell you about it."

Ning Fa frowned slightly. Anyway, Ning Fa's parents were no longer around and the title deed was in Ning Muchun's hands, so naturally she would have no evidence no matter what she said.

Ning Fa looked at her deeply, then said calmly, "Aunt, have you forgotten that just having the title deed does not mean you can legally own the store? The family clan hall has the relevant records of the store, and my father's name is still on it. When he dies, it will naturally be my inheritance. If I apply for family arbitration, the store will still be returned to me."

Hearing this, Meng Jinliang, who had been smiling and appearing calm, put away his smile and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ning Muchun looked at Ning Fa with some surprise. She felt that her nephew, who was usually dull and stubborn, seemed a little different today.

But she did not show too much surprise, and continued with a smile: "Xiao Fa, you are right, but you also know that our branch is not welcome now. If you apply for family arbitration, it is very likely that this store will be taken back by the family because of unclear ownership, and at most they will compensate us with some spirit stones."

"So we need you to help us go to the clan affairs hall and modify the registration of that store to officially make it the public property of our lineage."

Ning Fa couldn't help but be stunned when these words were spoken.

Only then did he understand why Ning Muchun and Meng Jinliang had that expression when they saw him.

It turned out that he wanted me to do this so that he could occupy the shop openly. It was really shameless.

But with his experience, he had seen many things more shameless than this, so he was not too surprised.

But Ning Fa couldn't help laughing in his heart. It turned out that the immortal cultivation families and those families on Blue Star were very similar, and such dirty things were not uncommon.

Before Ning Fa could answer, Ning Muchun spoke up first: "Xiao Fa, don't refuse yet. Do you know why all of us in this lineage came here to discuss this?"

Speaking of this, Ning Fa was really curious. So many people gathered together, and it didn't seem like they were gathered here just for that shop.

Ning Muchun continued, "You should know that our Ning family holds a competition for direct descendants every ten years. The next one will be held in a few years. There are rumors that because our family gained a lot of benefits from defeating the Qian family before, this competition is different from the past. There will be many more direct descendants than before."

"So this time our branch also has a glimmer of hope to get a direct lineage quota, but the prerequisite is that someone in our branch can advance to the late stage of Qi training to be eligible to compete, so our branch must train a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training as soon as possible."

"What we are discussing is to decide on the candidates for key training. Then, in the coming period of time, we will gather all our resources to train them. So now every resource is important. That store is of utmost importance. We must decide on its ownership as soon as possible to avoid being targeted by outsiders."

"You also know that our current situation is very bad. Ning Guichuan and his clan are eyeing us covetously and want to drive us out of Pyeongchang Island at any time, so we must do this. Even if we cannot win the direct lineage quota, but with one more late-stage Qi training cultivator, our clan will not be bullied."

"Xiao Fa, you are also a member of our lineage. I hope you can consider the overall situation." Ning Fa suddenly realized that this was the reason why everyone gathered together.

Moreover, this cousin from my aunt's family has been chosen as the candidate, and resources will be concentrated to help him break through to the late stage of Qi training.

Although Meng Jinliang is a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, he is a son-in-law and cannot participate in the competition according to clan rules.

Ning Fa's smile disappeared, and he said expressionlessly, "You mean the overall situation? It just so happens that I have an overall situation here. I am confident that I can pass the family alchemist assessment within a month. Once I become a family alchemist, my status will be much higher than that of an ordinary late-stage Qi training cultivator. For the sake of the overall situation, why don't we all support me in refining the alchemy with all our strength? What do you think?"

Ning Muchun frowned and said, "Xiao Fa, stop messing around. Everyone knows that you failed the family alchemist assessment the day before yesterday. You don't have the talent for alchemy at all. Don't waste resources on this anymore!"

Ning Fa immediately said, "Then can you guarantee that my cousin with mediocre talent will be able to advance to the late stage of Qi training? As far as I know, he relied on taking a lot of elixirs to cultivate to the sixth level of Qi training so quickly, but the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi training is extraordinary. With his talent, he can't break through by spending resources. If he fails to break through by then, wouldn't it be a waste of resources!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet. Many people looked at Ning Fa in surprise. They didn't expect that Ning Fa would be so eloquent today.

Ning Baiquan was speechless for a moment. After all, it was very difficult for a person with inferior spiritual roots to break through to the late stage of Qi training. Even if he invested all his resources, he might not succeed.

Ning Furong's face turned red and he looked at Ning Fa angrily.

Ning Muchun also glared at Ning Fa fiercely.

Ning Fa looked at her and said with a smile, "If you want me to agree to this, I tell you it's just a daydream! If you have the guts, take me to the clan affairs hall right now. Even if the shop is taken over by the family, I won't let you get away with it for nothing!"

After saying that, he walked away.

Uncle Ning Zhengqian and aunt Guo Ru looked strange, and there was even a hint of a smile on Guo Ru's face.

Ning Muchun and Meng Jinliang's faces were so gloomy that it looked like water could drip out of them.

The two men's eyes met, but Meng Jinliang shook his head.

Ning Muchun took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and continued the discussion as if nothing had happened.

The old man in black looked in the direction where Ning Fa left, frowned slightly, and then joined the discussion with a normal expression.
