Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1093 Reason
"I owe you another sum of money."

High in the sky, Ning Huarong suddenly spoke.

At this moment, after taking the high-level recovery pills given to her by Ning Fa, her condition had improved considerably, but a complete recovery would not be possible in a short time.

“You don’t need to feel guilty. Tan Yingzhen was probably after me,” Ning Fa said with a sigh.

He sensed something was off from the start; the woman in the green dress seemed to know he was coming, and Lu Caifu's telepathic message later confirmed this.

"Brother Ning, it's right here."

At this moment, Lu Caifu, who was not far away, turned around and chuckled at Ning Fa.

At the summit of a sacred mountain below stands a magnificent pavilion and courtyard.

"Go back and focus on healing."

Ning Fachong said something to Ning Huarong, and then followed Lu Caifu downwards.

Ning Huarong remained silent for a long time before transforming into a streak of purple light and flying away in an instant.

Soon, Ning Fa and Lu Caifu sat facing each other in a pavilion in the courtyard, where a beautiful maidservant served them spiritual tea and quietly withdrew.

Lu Caifu looked Ning Fa over carefully and sighed, "I never expected that so much time would have passed since I last saw Brother Ning, and so many things would have happened."

Brother Ning has made rapid progress as always, breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage at such a young age. To achieve this at less than two hundred years old is a feat that is extremely rare even in the long history of our Great Qin cultivation world.

Moreover, your strength far surpasses that of others of the same level; even the renowned Liang Xiong was dealt with so badly by you.

"Of course, with Brother Ning's unfathomable supernatural abilities that can rival even a Nascent Soul cultivator, not to mention Liang Xiong, even the other renowned Nascent Soul experts of our Great Qin would be far from being Brother Ning's match."

At this point, Lu Caifu's starry eyes suddenly shone brightly as she looked directly at Ning Fa and asked:
"Brother Ning, I have just arrived in Kowloon Sea and heard a shocking rumor."

"Is it true that Brother Ning single-handedly killed Ying Xiao, that extraordinary Nascent Soul demon cultivator from the Nine Dragons Sea Demon Court?"

Ning Fa nodded slightly.

Even though Lu Caifu had already anticipated this, she couldn't help but tremble, looking at Ning Fa as if he were a monster.

After a long while, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Unbelievable, inconceivable... Even if you searched through all the vast collection of books in my little sister's merchant alliance, it would be difficult to find someone like Brother Ning."

"What exactly is going on?" Ning Fa was too lazy to explain further to her, staring intently into her eyes and pressing her for an answer.

Lu Caifu had previously told him via telepathy that there was more to the story than a simple conflict.

Lu Caifu shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Ning, do you know Tan Yingzhen's true identity?"

She is a direct descendant of Elder Tan, a deceased Nascent Soul elder of our Qian Yuan Business Alliance, and is now being taken as a personal disciple by Elder Zhong, another Nascent Soul elder of our alliance.

Moreover, Elder Tan was previously the elder who passed on his skills to our business alliance. Countless middle and high-level members of the business alliance have benefited from his kindness, and this legacy naturally fell on Tan Yingzhen as well.

Therefore, her background within our business alliance is no less powerful than mine.

Ning Fa raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He probably knew about Lu Caifu's background.

Because one of the five Nascent Soul cultivators in the Qian Yuan Business Alliance is surnamed Lu, and he ranks third in the Qian Yuan Business Alliance, even above Venerable Ling Jun.

Lu Caifu should be his direct descendant.

That Elder Zhong should be Zhong Wenlan, the fifth-ranked Nascent Soul cultivator in the Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance, whose Daoist name is Fairy Wanlan.

Although she ranked fifth in the Qian Yuan Business Alliance, she was very famous, and Ning Fa had even heard of her before.

This Nascent Soul cultivator is known as the number one array master in the human realm.

This added status might give her a slightly higher position than ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

Tan Yingzhen's background was even more impressive than he had imagined.

But why did she only refer to herself as the ancient eagle's Daoist partner, without mentioning her master at all?
Could it be that they felt the ancient eagle was more intimidating?
At this moment, Lu Caifu considered for a moment and then said, "At the same time, Tan Yingzhen is indeed Gu Ying's Daoist partner, or to be precise, she will not be for a long time."

As for Gu Ying, Brother Ning should be able to guess from his name that he is indeed the great-grandson of Gu Zun, the chief elder of our Merchant Alliance.

He is also the most outstanding descendant of the Gu family in more than a thousand years, possessing a superior innate spiritual body.

He will form his Nascent Soul at the age of 130 and advance to the late Nascent Soul stage at the age of 220. He will then have a good chance of reaching the Divine Transformation stage.

Therefore, the Ancient Venerable doted on him greatly. In terms of status, I am far inferior to him. Gu Ying was listed as the number one Nascent Soul seed of our Merchant Alliance at a very early age.

Later, Gu Ying pursued Tan Yingzhen and they became Daoist partners, a story that became a legend within our business alliance.

However, in recent years, Gu Ying has wanted to end his Daoist partnership with Tan Yingzhen, and the reason for this is…

At this point, Lu Caifu paused, her expression conflicted, as if she didn't know how to begin.

Ning Fajian frowned: "Could this be related to me?"

Lu Caifu gave a wry smile: "That's true."

At this point, she hesitated, seemingly unsure whether she should say it or not, and finally sighed after a long while.

"The reason why Gu Ying wanted to end his Daoist relationship with Tan Yingzhen was because of Brother Ning, or more accurately, because of your daughter."

Gu Ying wanted to marry Brother Ning's daughter, so he did this.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fa was stunned for a moment.

His first reaction was that it was absurd.

No, it's utterly absurd!

For a moment, he could hardly believe his ears and looked at Lu Caifu with disbelief.

Lu Caifu's bitter smile deepened: "Brother Ning, I'm not joking with you, it's just the truth."

Your daughter seems to possess a rare talent.

Back when the Yuancha Sect's branch sect was in your Cangyuan cultivation world, they had already decided that your daughter would be the Xuan Nu of the Yuancha Sect even before she was born, and they even tried to snatch her away.

This matter was later learned by the main sect of Yuancha Sect.

To be honest, if the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Yuancha Sect hadn't been in seclusion, she might have personally taken action to snatch Brother Ning's daughter.

Later, although the Nascent Soul Ancestor of Yuancha Sect came out of seclusion, the news that Brother Ning had hired Tianbao Immortal Merchant had already spread, so she had no choice but to give up.

However, Yuan Chamen later told him this news in order to befriend Gu Zun.

Since then, Gu Ying has firmly believed that if he were to become a Daoist couple with your daughter and cultivate together, it could even provide him with considerable assistance in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Ning Daoyou's personality is also known to outsiders, so Gu Ying knows that if he has other Daoist partners, it will be difficult for him to successfully propose to Brother Ning.

Therefore, even though Tan Yingzhen has a strong background within our business alliance, he still insisted on ending their Daoist partnership.

Initially, this matter was highly confidential, and none of us in the business alliance knew why Gu Ying suddenly did this.

However, Tan Yingzhen clearly knows the inside story now, so her real purpose in causing trouble for Fellow Daoist Ning Huarong is to sow discord between Brother Ning and Gu Ying, thus reducing his chances of success. Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's expression changed several times.

So that's the reason.

This ancient eagle actually intends to use Le'er to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!?

The mere mention of "dual cultivation" ignited an overwhelming surge of rage within Ning Fa.

There was a loud "boom"!
A surge of fierce, malevolent energy, like a mountain collapsing, erupted from Ning Fa's body and swept outwards.

Lu Caifu's pretty face turned pale instantly, and she retreated rapidly. At the same time, she summoned a white umbrella-shaped defensive magic weapon, which spun wildly to protect herself.

In the blink of an eye, this courtyard, which had strong protective barriers, was reduced to ruins.

After a while, Lu Caifu cautiously approached again.

She carefully observed Ning Faru's face, which was as cold as ice, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although she already knew beforehand that Ning Fa would have a hard time agreeing, she never expected Ning Fa to react so strongly to the news.

At this moment, Ning Fa realized what was happening, and the anger in his heart was beyond words.

In his eyes, Le'er was still an innocent child, but this ancient eagle, who was hundreds of years old, wanted to reach out to Le'er.

This has absolutely crossed his line.

"How dare he! How dare he!?"

Ning Fa gritted his teeth and said these two sentences in quick succession, his eyes burning with tangible anger.

If this ancient eagle were right in front of Ning Fa, he would most likely crush it to death without a second thought.

Lu Caifu was also shocked when she saw Ning Fa at this moment, but there was also a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes.

In her opinion, Ningfa's reaction seemed a bit too much, making her hesitate about whether to say what she had originally prepared.

But remembering her previous promise, she carefully chose her words: "Brother Ning, in reality, Gu Ying is not as bad as he seems."

Despite his background and status, he was still able to cultivate diligently and remain undisturbed by external temptations.

Otherwise, even with his outstanding talent and the support of the merchant alliance, it would be difficult for him to cultivate so quickly.

Before this, he only had Tan Yingzhen as his Daoist partner, and he had not committed any major evil deeds.

While he may not be considered to have noble character, he certainly behaved with integrity.

He is not even three hundred years old yet, which is quite young for his level of cultivation, and he would certainly be a good husband candidate.

If the two of them were to get married, it would perhaps be a wonderful thing.

With Brother Ning's background, coupled with our Qian Yuan Business Alliance, it's a powerful alliance. I imagine it will make my niece, whom I've never met, have an extremely smooth path ahead, and..."

"That's enough! Shut up!"

Before Lu Caifu could finish speaking, Ning Fa roared at her in a fit of rage.

At the same time, the weather changed dramatically, and a chilling sword intent, almost tangible, pointed directly at Lu Caifu, as if she would be attacked by a tidal wave if she uttered another word.

Lu Caifu froze, like a statue, filled with regret. She had secretly fastened a jade-green ring to her finger.

Although both of them are now at the late Nascent Soul stage, Lu Caifu has a premonition that if she does not use the life-saving spiritual item bestowed upon her by the ancestor, she may be killed by Ning Fa within a breath.

After a long while, Ning Fa's violent aura slowly subsided, but he still stared intently at Lu Caifu with an icy gaze, and said in a cold voice:
"Are you acting as an intermediary for that ancient eagle? Has he already contacted you before?"

Feeling the terrifying sword intent subside slightly, Lu Caifu finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said with a wry smile:

"That's right, Gu Ying did contact me before."

He knew that I had some connection with Brother Ning, so he wanted me to go out and test Brother Ning's opinion first.

I was naturally unwilling, but later my grandfather came to me personally, and I had no choice but to agree.

However, I am by no means trying to glorify him; otherwise, I would not have told Brother Ning the truth about his affair with Tan Yingzhen.

However, since I had already agreed to this, I still had to plead for him, and what I said was indeed the truth.

Moreover, Brother Ning, there's no need to worry. Gu Ying has no other ulterior motives. He doesn't intend to exploit your daughter for sustenance. Instead, he plans to cultivate our Merchant Alliance's secret dual cultivation technique after marrying your daughter.

This technique has an extraordinary origin. In fact, the reason why Gu Ying was so determined to marry Brother Ning's daughter was precisely because of this technique.

Because this cultivation method is very special, it has extremely high requirements for the aptitude of both men and women, which even ordinary heavenly spiritual roots or extraordinary spiritual roots cannot meet.

One must possess an innate spiritual body, and not just any ordinary spiritual body will suffice; only a superior spiritual body is qualified to cultivate.

Furthermore, the better one's aptitude, the greater the bonus from cultivating this technique, and it even has incredible effects on breaking through realm bottlenecks, including the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage.

Gu Ying is now certain that Brother Ning's daughter possesses a spiritual entity even stronger than his own.

As I said before, although he came from a distinguished family, he was like an ascetic. For him, improving his cultivation level was more important than anything else.

So despite the numerous obstacles, he was determined to break off his Daoist relationship with Tan Yingzhen and ask Brother Ning for her hand in marriage. He had even started preparing for this long ago.

Moreover, even if Brother Ning agrees, there is no need to marry your daughter off immediately.

That technique requires that both practitioners be within the same major realm.

Therefore, they can wait until their daughter advances to the Nascent Soul stage before they truly get married.

Your daughter should only be a few decades old now, still very young, and probably only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, considering your daughter's aptitude, coupled with the full support of Brother Ning and our Qian Yuan Merchant Alliance, it is not an exaggeration to say that she will advance to the Nascent Soul stage in about a hundred years.

Therefore, Gu Ying only wants a verbal promise from Brother Ning, and he has prepared an extremely generous betrothal gift for this.

After Lu Caifu finished speaking in one breath, she looked at Ning Fa with some trepidation.

She was initially somewhat confident, because this would also greatly benefit Ningfa's daughter.

After all, there might not be a better husband than Gu Ying in the entire human world, and Gu Ying's sincerity is also very strong.

However, after seeing Ningfa's reaction, she lost confidence.

At this moment, Ning Fa's rage subsided somewhat.

He realized he had some preconceived notions.

After all, she knew that Le'er was still just a little girl at this time, but in Lu Caifu's eyes, decades later, Le'er would have already grown up and would at least be at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But here's the question: how did Gu Ying know Le'er's approximate age?
It should be noted that Zhu Lingyun only awoke after arriving at Qianmohai in Jiulonghai, and Le'er was just born. Currently, the outside world has no idea of ​​Zhu Lingyun and Le'er's existence.

Ning Fa narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Why is Gu Ying so certain that Le'er possesses a superior spiritual body? He even wanted to divorce Tan Yingzhen before it was confirmed, just because the Yuan Cha Sect said my daughter is some kind of Xuan Nu?"
