Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 995 The Completion of the Elixir and the Ruins
However, Ning Fa was not satisfied, because his goal was to refine a Soul-Curving Pill with Dao patterns.

So Ningfa began to use the Heavenly Book to trace the source repeatedly. Although each trace required about ten third-order source points, Ningfa did not care.

Another month passed.

The alchemy room had been closed for a long time, and Ning Fa was somewhat disheveled, with bloodshot eyes.

Looking at the alchemy furnace surrounded by rosy light in front of him, a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes. He had a premonition that this time there was a good chance of success.

As Ning Fa cast his final spell, the alchemy furnace opened, and a beam of light shot out from it, about to escape to one side.

But then a flash of silver light appeared, and a large hand had already grasped it. The ball of light trembled violently, appearing to be extremely intelligent.

With a wave of his hand, Ning Fa caused the ball of light to slowly dissipate, revealing a perfectly round, deep blue pill that emitted a unique aura.

Just one whiff of it can make your soul feel as comfortable as if you were soaking in a hot spring.

On the surface of this elixir, there is a mysterious Dao pattern that appears to be naturally formed.

Ning Fa picked up the pill and examined it carefully, especially the mysterious Dao pattern.

He couldn't help but burst into laughter. His efforts of spending three or four hundred Origin Points to trace the source had not been in vain; he had finally refined the Soul-Solving Pill with Dao patterns.

Ning Fa carefully put the pill away, and then, without wasting any time, disappeared into the cave in a flash of silver light.

Several days later, Ning Fa returned to the ice mountain deep within the Divine Heart Sect's mountain gate, accompanied only by Kong Li.

At this moment, Kong Li's face was also full of joy, and his gaze towards Ning Fa was filled with undisguised surprise.

He originally thought it would be good enough if Ning Fa could refine the Soul-Curving Pill, but he didn't expect Ning Fa to refine a Soul-Curving Pill with Dao patterns, which surprised and pleased him.

Soon, the two arrived at the ice cave deep inside the ice mountain. Zhu Lingyun, who was frozen in the ice wall, was still as if she were asleep, and looked no different from when Ning Fa last came.

However, Ning Fa keenly sensed that Zhu Lingyun's spiritual power had weakened somewhat.

Ning Fa no longer hesitated and took out the Dao Pattern Soul-Curving Pill. The pill gradually disappeared into the ice wall in a ball of light. Then, Zhu Lingyun unconsciously opened her mouth and swallowed the pill.

Ningfa and Kongli immediately watched nervously from the side.

Before long, they could clearly feel that Zhu Lingyun's originally somewhat depleted spiritual energy began to slowly increase, and her entire body was also surrounded by a faint radiance.

Ning Fa and Kong Li were immediately excited, clearly the Soul-Cursing Pill had worked, and the effect was remarkable.

In this way, Zhu Lingyun would have a very good chance of successfully cultivating the Nirvana Soul Essence Technique.

After his initial joy, Ning Fa's eyes showed a hint of worry.

After all, he now knows that the Yuanhun Dividing Spirit Technique is related to that terrifying ancient immortal, which is a huge hidden danger.

Therefore, if the Abyss Heavenly Pool really opens, then for both myself and Zhu Lingyun, we must go deep into it and try to obtain the Soul-Deriving Divine Spring.

At this moment, True Lord Kongli turned around and looked at Ningfa. He saw that Ningfa's expression was somewhat complicated, and he slowly said, "Thank you for your hard work this time."

Ning Fa smiled and said, "Ling Yun is my Daoist partner, so it is only right that I do this."

Upon hearing this, Kong Li frowned and looked at Ning Fa with some displeasure. Ning Fa met his gaze without backing down.

After a long while, Kong Li sighed softly and turned to walk towards the cave entrance.

He had clearly tacitly accepted Ning Fa's declaration of his relationship with Zhu Lingyun.

This is not only because of Ning Fa's current strength and status, but also because Kong Li confirmed that Zhu Lingyun does indeed hold a high position in Ning Fa's heart.

Ning Fa gazed quietly at Zhu Lingyun, who lay like a sleeping beauty within the ice wall, a complex expression on his face.

Just then, a childish voice entered his mind.

"Father, Le'er has finally seen you again! The medicine you gave Mother is so miraculous! Le'er feels stronger now, which gives Le'er the confidence to drive away those nasty insects. I hope Mother and Le'er can drive away the insects quickly, and then I can truly see Father again..."

Ning Fa was immediately delighted and quickly asked, "Le'er, what kind of insect are you talking about?"

But Ningfa asked several times without receiving a response, and the childish voice gradually faded away.

Ning Fa sighed, then stood there quietly watching Zhu Lingyun inside the ice wall.

Several hours later, Ning Fa took one last look at Zhu Lingyun before getting up and leaving.

He probably won't be coming here again for a long time.

After all, his immediate priority is to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and he cannot afford to be too distracted.

But before that, he wanted to go and see the ruins of the Xuanhuo Sect that Wen Xiuxin had mentioned.

More than ten days later.

In the central part of Cangyuan, about 20,000 li northwest of Xuguo, there is a place called Huoluo Mountain Range.

This place is very peculiar. Many of its peaks are volcanoes, erupting continuously year-round. Thick volcanic ash covers the area for thousands of miles around, and the sky is always shrouded in gloom. As a result, this place is filled with fire poison, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to stay for long. Apart from some fire-attribute cultivators who come to search for special spiritual materials, few people venture here.

At the very center of the Huoluo Mountains, there is a volcano nearly 10,000 feet high, entirely reddish-black in color, with a crater more than ten miles in diameter.

However, this mountain has been cooled for thousands of years and has not erupted again.

But on this day, the giant mountain suddenly trembled, and a huge torrent of molten lava erupted from the crater, spreading wildly in all directions like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, covering an area of ​​nearly a hundred miles, creating a magnificent scene.

At this moment, deep within the mountain's interior, a fiery palace, sealed for millennia, was reopened.

Several figures appeared in the main hall.

Ning Fa held the Five-Flame Lamp in his hand, looking around with a smile.

Lan Dian and Xiao Bing, who were standing beside him, looked around with equally curious expressions, while Wen Xiuxin looked around with a complicated look in her eyes.

Then she smiled at Ning Fa and said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, I wasn't lying, was I?"

Ning Fa smiled and nodded, then immediately looked ahead.

In the center of the main hall was a circular array covering more than ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), its surface covered with intricate array patterns that even made Ning Fa feel dizzy.

Ning Fa was not surprised but delighted, as this formation was extremely similar to the ultra-long-distance teleportation formations he had seen twice before.

It must be the teleportation array leading to Kowloon Sea; Wen Xiuxin was indeed not lying.

However, it is obvious that one corner of the teleportation array is damaged and has not been completed.

Even around this teleportation array, one can see many scattered spiritual materials, still shimmering with light, indicating that the Xuanhuo Sect members were in a great hurry when they evacuated.

Ning Fa was overjoyed, because it seemed that the teleportation array was about 80% complete.

Furthermore, the core array formation has clearly been completed, which is much better than he expected.

Then Ningfa looked ahead and saw a table with two jade slips and a red triangular token on it.

Ningfa summoned the three objects from the void, and they flew to his front.

He first glanced at the token, then scanned the two jade slips with his divine sense, and soon a strange light appeared in his eyes.

These two jade slips were left by an elder of the Xuanhuo Sect who had previously overseen the construction of this place.

The diagram above contained the complete array of this ultra-long-distance teleportation array, as well as some notes on the remaining construction work. It was clearly intended for the descendants of the Xuanhuo Sect, which pleased Ning Fa greatly.

However, the contents of the other jade slip moved him somewhat.

This is because it contains the method for crafting a special magical artifact, named Heavenly Flame Candle.

This treasure is a genuine, heaven-reaching spiritual treasure. The Five-Flame Lamp that Ning Fa currently possesses is a replica of this Heavenly Flame Candle.

Clearly, the Xuanhuo Sect had previously planned to use the Five Flame Lamp as a foundation to refine the complete Heavenly Flame Candle.

However, Ning Fa only glanced at the spiritual materials required for the Heavenly Flame Candle and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

The list was entirely composed of fifth-tier spiritual materials, and some of the most crucial materials were even sixth-tier materials, which are probably impossible to find in the human realm today.

But Ning Fa's expression quickly changed; what might not work for others could not necessarily work for him.

After all, now that the Heavenly Book has been upgraded, it is capable of tracing back from low-level spiritual materials to fifth- or even sixth-level materials, as long as it has enough source points.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but feel excited again. After all, the temptation of possessing a complete Tongtian spiritual treasure was simply too great.

However, this matter can only be put on the back burner. After all, to gather all the spiritual materials needed to forge this Heavenly Flame Candle, a massive amount of high-level source points would be required, which cannot be wasted here.

Just then, the light of the five-flame lamp flickered, and a slightly ethereal figure flew out from it—it was Liu Ying.

She stared intently at the jade slip in Ning Fa's hand, her usual calm demeanor replaced by a hint of excitement.

Ning Fa looked at her with some surprise. Liu Ying slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, aren't you tempted by this Heavenly Flame Candle, a spiritual treasure that reaches the heavens?"

Ning Fa smiled and said, "Of course I'm tempted, but I'm not capable of crafting such a treasure right now."

Unexpectedly, Liu Ying chuckled and said, "It is indeed extremely difficult to create a complete Heavenly Flame Candle, but I have some methods to improve and modify the current Five Flame Lamp based on the complete refining method of the Heavenly Flame Candle, which can greatly enhance its power."

If we're optimistic, it might be possible to advance it to a high-grade spiritual treasure. Of course, this would require a large amount of precious materials. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ning would like to give it a try?

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa was immediately moved. If the Five Flames Lamp could be upgraded to a high-grade spiritual treasure, it would naturally allow his strength to increase dramatically.

Liu Ying added, "Although I'm still unsure exactly what materials are needed, at least fifth-tier spiritual materials are indispensable, and collecting them is indeed quite difficult."

However, if Fellow Daoist Ning agrees to this, I can remain in this Five-Flame Lamp indefinitely, serving as its spirit.
