Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 197 The storm is coming
Not long after, Ning Fa came to the stone hall of Changning Mountain and met the great elder Ning Zhongyuan.

Ning Zhongyuan looked at him carefully and said with a look of satisfaction: "Xiao Fa, I thank you on behalf of the entire Ning family. If Yu Wen can successfully build his foundation, you will be credited with the first merit."

After saying this, Ning Zhongyuan was filled with emotion.

He already knew at this time that Ning Fa was also a key factor in Ning Shaohong's success in building the foundation.

Ning Fa was polite for a moment, then asked about the recent frequent attacks and harassment by the robbers.

He couldn't help but ask, "Great Elder, is it true that the Iron Cloth Alliance has a fourth foundation-building cultivator?"

Ning Zhongyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, but shook his head slowly and said: "As far as I know, no."

Ning Fa couldn't help but feel strange. He thought of a possibility and frowned, "Could the Iron Armor Alliance be instigated by the Xue family?"

Ning Zhongyuan's eyes showed a strange look, and then he laughed happily and said, "Xiao Fa, you don't have to worry about the robbery repair for now."

Ning Fa looked at him strangely and said, "As the leader of the Blazing Wind Hall, it is my job to fight against the robbers. I just wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, why don't you care?"

Ning Zhongyuan shook his head and said sternly, "I was just about to tell you this. You have to put your Chifeng Hall affairs aside for now. You are still the head of the hall in name, but I will find someone else to take your place and perform the duties of the head of the hall."

Ningfa was stunned.

What’s going on? Have I been fired?

Ning Zhongyuan's face turned serious, and he said, "Xiao Fa, don't think too much, because the family has more important things for you to do."

Ningfa frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ning Zhongyuan's eyes sparkled, and he said in a deep voice: "Your next main task is to refine pills. Take a look at this jade slip and see which pills you are good at refining. In the next period of time, you need to do your best to refine these pills. The more the better. The family will supply you with sufficient spiritual materials."

After saying that, Ning Zhongyuan handed a jade slip to Ning Fa.

Ning Fa, somewhat confused, took the jade slip and looked at it.

After he finished reading it, a strange look appeared on his face.

"Golden Marrow Pill, Nourishing Essence Pill, Green Lotus Pill, Watery Dazzling Pill, Blood Essence Powder, Golden Dew Pill..."

These pills are all medium to high-quality healing and recovery pills.

There is even Jinludan, a second-level healing pill that Ning Fa is already very familiar with.

What is the purpose of the Great Elder asking me to refine these pills specifically?

Ningfa felt that something was unusual.

Suddenly, his whole body shook slightly and he looked at Ning Zhongyuan in disbelief.

The most likely reason for refining so many healing and recovery pills is undoubtedly that the family is going to start a war.

"Great Elder, could it be..." Ning Fa said in shock.

Ning Zhongyuan waved his hand, signaling him not to continue.

He looked at Ning Fa meaningfully, his eyes gleaming with brilliance as he said, "I cannot tell you what is going to happen now, but your next pill refining is very important. Each high-level pill may save the life of a member of the tribe. I will announce to the public that you are in seclusion for cultivation. In the next period of time, you should focus on refining pills on Xiaozhu Island and don't go anywhere else. I will let the third brother bring you spiritual materials regularly."

"Remember, this is the family's top secret, no one can reveal it!"

Ning Zhongyuan emphasized it again.

Ningfa couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Although Ning Zhongyuan did not admit it, it was equivalent to his tacit consent.

The Ning family is obviously going to launch a foreign war, and who the opponent will be is already obvious.

In the entire Qianbo Lake, the only family that the Ning family treats so seriously is the Xue family.

Ning Fa found it incredible again, and couldn't help but worry: "Grand Elder, although our Ning family is not weak, but Xue..."

Before he could say anything else, Ning Zhongyuan stopped him with his eyes.

He said meaningfully: "Xiao Fa, just focus on refining the elixir, and leave the rest to us old guys."

Ning Fa looked at him deeply and asked no more questions.

Afterwards, Ning Zhongyuan told him some more details, and Ning Fa got up and left. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that Ning Huarong had successfully built her foundation, so Ning Zhongyuan had the confidence to start a war against the Xue family?
But even so, the Ning family's strength is much weaker than that of the Xue family.

Ningfa really couldn't understand it.

But he believed that Ning Zhongyuan was definitely not crazy and must have something to rely on.

It can be predicted that Qianbo Lake will experience a major earthquake in the near future.

Just as Ning Fa, who was shocked, flew away from Changning Mountain, a green light flew towards him.

Ning Fa hurriedly stopped and said respectfully, "Greetings, Fourth Elder."

The person who came was Ning Weize, the fourth elder of the family.

He had a warm smile on his face and seemed very happy to see Ningfa.

Ningfa also had a good impression of the fourth elder.

In addition to his good reputation in the family.

When he was competing with Ning Ruiming in alchemy, the Fourth Elder also spoke up to defend him.

Ning Weize looked Ning Fa up and down with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Then he said gently: "Xiao Fa, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that you have already advanced to the eighth level of Qi training. It's really a cause for celebration. Perhaps you have broken through the shackles of your incomplete thunder spirit root."

Ning Fa scratched his head and said modestly: "It's just good luck."

Ning Weize smiled and asked again: "Xiao Fa, have you just met the Great Elder? What's the matter?"

Ning Fa thought of what Ning Zhongyuan had told him before.

He smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just had some opportunities when I was out recently, so I plan to practice in seclusion for a while to see if I can break through to the ninth level of Qi training as soon as possible. This will save some time and give me a better hope of building a foundation in the future."

Ning Weize raised his eyebrows, and then said happily: "Very good, Xiaofa, I am looking forward to the day when you build your foundation. By then, our Ning family will surely become much stronger."

Ningfa thanked him.

Just as the two were about to separate, Ning Weize seemed to have thought of something and asked again: "Has Xiaoyu contacted you recently?"

Ning Fa replied: "Not recently. Last time she wrote to me, she said she was going to a secret place of the Zhao family to practice in seclusion. It might take a long time for her to come out."

Ning Weize's eyes flashed, then he nodded and said, "Xiao Fa, you still have to communicate with Xiao Yu frequently. After all, the Zhao family is one of the top ten cultivation families in Jiang Country. If we can establish a relationship with the Zhao family, it will be very beneficial to our Ning family."

Ning Fa, however, gave a bitter smile.

He naturally knew this, and the Great Elder also knew this.

He had just reminded himself of this.

But the problem is that judging from the Zhao family’s reaction, they don’t seem to want to have too much involvement with the Ning family.

To be precise, I look down on it at all.

Another month after Xiaoyu left with Zhao Yanhua.

An envoy from the Zhao family came and left a lot of precious spiritual materials, saying that this was to thank the Ning family for their cultivation of Xiaoyu.

But then the messenger was polite, but made it very clear that he didn't want Xiaoyu to have too much contact with the Ning family.

The implication of the words is already very obvious.

In front of the Zhao family envoy who was in the late foundation building stage, the Great Elder and others could only agree.

However, several foundation-building elders obviously did not give up and asked him to keep in touch with Xiaoyu as much as possible.

In their opinion, since Xiaoyu is so valued by the Zhao family, she will most likely hold a high position in the Zhao family in the future, so this relationship cannot be severed.

Ning Fa chatted with Ning Weize for a few more words and then left.

Ning Weize watched him disappear from the spot, his expression became serious, and then he also flew towards Changning Mountain on his escape light.
