Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 784 Black Slate
Ning Fa's eyes lit up immediately, and the frustration of being plotted against by the Sikong family was dispelled.

He only glanced at them briefly, and among these treasures, there were more than four hundred mid-grade spirit stones and more than fifty high-grade spirit stones.

Spirit stones are only a small part of these treasures.

Other items include more than ten magical treasures, all of which are at least mid-level treasures, with three of them reaching high-level quality.

The purple triangular flag-shaped magic weapon that the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor used at the end was the most powerful.

Unfortunately, this magic weapon is clearly used in conjunction with the Devouring Thunder Ancestor's unique Devouring Divine Power, so its effectiveness would likely be greatly reduced for others.

Besides these magical treasures, there are all sorts of spiritual items, such as elixirs, talismans, spiritual flowers and herbs, cultivation manuals, and spiritual ores.

Even with just a rough estimate, not counting spirit stones, the total value of these treasures is definitely more than ten million.

After all, the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor was a powerful figure among Nascent Soul cultivators, so it was normal for him to have such a large fortune.

At this moment, Ningfa held a transparent clean bottle in his hand, inside which was a small ball of thick blue liquid-like spiritual substance.

Within this blue liquid are countless silver particles, like stars, radiating an extremely pure, yet not violent, aura of lightning spiritual energy.

Ningfa looked at the vase as if it were a priceless treasure.

Because the blue liquid inside was his ultimate goal for this trip—the Thunder Soul Star Essence!
Sure enough, the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor possessed this item.

Ning Fa was all smiles. Although he had taken a considerable risk this time, it was also a great success.

In this way, he has already obtained the lightning-attribute spiritual items needed to build the Thunder Transformation Pool: the Mirage Thunder Cloud Crystal and the Thunder Soul Star Marrow. He only needs the Nine Tribulations Thunder Jade.

Ning Fazhen carefully put away the bottle of Thunder Soul Star Marrow, and then looked at the other two items in front of him.

This was something he specially selected from the things belonging to the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor.

One of them was a blood-red pill, radiating extremely violent blood energy.

Ning Fa recognized the pill; it was the same pill called the Extreme Yang Pill that the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor had taken before.

Ning Fa has witnessed its effects firsthand, and they can be described as extremely powerful.

The fact that he could forcibly raise the power of the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor to a level close to that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is quite domineering.

However, Ning Fa had also experienced its side effects, which made him shudder just thinking about them.

However, this does not prevent the Extreme Yang Pill from still being an extremely precious life-saving pill that can be used to save lives in times of crisis, regardless of its side effects.

Although Ning Fa can refine spirit-summoning talismans, he currently only knows how to refine low-grade spirit-summoning talismans.

The power of a low-grade spirit-summoning talisman no longer provides him with a significant boost.

He has yet to have the opportunity to attempt to refine a mid-grade spirit-summoning talisman.

Because the spiritual materials needed to refine mid-grade spirit talismans are too precious, especially some of the key ones, which he had not been able to collect before.

After all, its main ingredients require the skin and essence of a demon beast at least in the early stage of transformation.

According to Ning Fa's estimation, the power of a mid-grade spirit-descending talisman should be similar to that of this Extreme Yang Pill.

Ning Fa also put away the pill, then looked at another object.

It was a square black stone slab, with nothing special about it except for some mysterious runes engraved on its surface.

The reason it caught Ningfa's attention was because this black stone slab possessed the rare characteristic of being invisible to divine sense.

Although it was right in front of Ning Fa, Ning Fa's divine sense could not detect its existence at all.

This alone is enough to show that this black stone slab is no ordinary object.

Moreover, this stone slab is incredibly hard.

With Ning Fa's current strength, enough to tear apart the flesh of a third-tier demon beast with his bare hands, he couldn't even leave a mark on this black stone slab.

In addition, Ning Fa also used various spells to bombard the stone slab, and even used his Five Elements Divine Thunder, but still could not do anything about it.

Therefore, Ningfa was certain that this black stone slab was an unimaginable treasure.

Furthermore, combined with the information previously obtained from the Hidden Star Pavilion, which stated that the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor had defected because he stole a treasure from the Spirit-Subduing Hall, Ning Fa vaguely guessed that the treasure was very likely this thing.

Murong Zhaoxue from the Fuling Palace came to hunt down the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor, probably also for this item.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but frown slightly.

It seems that this black stone slab is still a troublesome object.

I'm afraid the Fuling Palace won't let this go easily. If he keeps it on his person, there might be quite a few hidden dangers.

After all, from what he knew, the strength of the Fuling Palace was comparable to that of the nine major sects of the Tian Shu Alliance, such as Lei Yu Mountain.

However, he also had a feeling that if he discarded the black stone slab, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

With this thought in mind, Ning Fa made a firm decision, immediately covering the surface of the black stone slab with his right hand. Thick thunder of the Earth element shot out, forming a bright yellow outer shell on the surface of the stone slab.

Then Ning Fa placed it in a special spirit-sealing box, affixed several restrictive talismans, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Ning Fa waved his hand again, putting all of the other things belonging to the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor into his storage ring, and got up to leave.

But before leaving, he suddenly paused.

Then, a spiritual light emanated from his hand, which he smeared on his face. His face began to slowly change, and soon it transformed into the face of an ordinary-looking man in his forties. Even his height gradually increased by a few inches.

Ning Fa looked satisfied. This Yi Ling Mask was quite mysterious, as it could transform into three faces.

He had been using Meng Yi's face before, but now he had to change his face.

Because the Sikong family probably already knows he's on Qiyuan Island, and there's even a possibility that pursuers are already on their way.

A power like the Sikong family would definitely not waste time; they would probably use a long-distance teleportation array to send them over directly.

Therefore, it is no longer appropriate to use Meng Yi's face.

In addition, he also took the black stone slab that was suspected to be a treasure of the Fuling Palace.

I'm afraid the Fuling Palace won't let this go easily, and Murong Zhaoxue might very well suspect him.

Therefore, changing one's identity is still very necessary.

Ning Fa then took out a yellow robe and changed into it before leisurely flying away from the place.

Meanwhile, inside the underground passage stood a graceful figure in a black dress—it was none other than Murong Zhaoxue, who had returned.

At this moment, she no longer wore the black veil, revealing her stunningly beautiful face that could captivate all.

But at this moment, her face was extremely pale, and her voice was icy as she said, "That Thunder-Swallowing Monster is really dead!?"

At this moment, a small bird resembling a black raven perched on her shoulder. It tilted its head and then spoke in a human voice:

“That person should be dead, because when my master fought him before, I remembered his soul aura, and right here, his soul aura completely disappeared.”

"I was gone for less than an hour. Who could have killed him in such a short time? Could there be other Nascent Soul cultivators lying in ambush here?"

Murong Zhaoxue's eyebrows furrowed in anger as she spoke.

The crow also showed a human-like look of worry on its face and continued, "How the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor died is not important, but the key is that he will not be able to obtain the Sealed Yuan Stone in his possession."

In that case, I'm afraid Elder Qi and his ilk in the hall will seize on this and use it against their master.

Upon hearing this, Murong Zhaoxue's expression turned even more unpleasant. After a long while, she took a deep breath, her expression returned to calm, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

Suddenly, two figures flashed through her mind.

It was those two Core Formation juniors who had escaped one after the other using strange methods when she fought with the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor, especially the Core Formation boy who left a deep impression on her.

"Do you think it could have been done by that Core Formation kid?" Murong Zhaoxue suddenly said, her eyes narrowing slightly.

The crow tilted its head and hesitated slightly before saying, "There is a possibility, but the probability is not high."

When my master first entered the main hall inside the mountain, I had already sensed that the young man's soul and magical power were far more robust than those of a typical Core Formation cultivator, which is why I secretly reminded my master.

However, I am certain that this person is definitely not a Nascent Soul cultivator.

In that case, even if the Thunder-Swallowing Old Monster is severely injured, that kid still won't be able to handle him. After all, he's also a cultivator with a lightning spirit root, and he'll definitely be countered by the Thunder-Swallowing Old Monster.

A thoughtful look flashed in Murong Zhaoxue's eyes.

In fact, her deep impression of Ningfa was not entirely due to the reminder from her spirit bird.

Rather, it was because when she saw Ningfa, her spirit felt an uncontrollable stirring.

At first, she thought it was because of the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor, but if it was really caused by that kid, it would be enough to show how mysterious and unpredictable this person is, and he might not be afraid of the Thunder-Swallowing Ancestor's Thunder-Swallowing Divine Power.

Thinking of this, Murong Zhaoxue's eyes turned cold, and then a flash of blue lightning appeared on her body, and she disappeared from the spot in an instant.

……

The Jinchuan Islands, with Jinchang Island as the main island and the City Lord's Mansion as the main island.

At this time, the city lord's mansion naturally belonged to the Sikong family.

Inside a main hall of the mansion, a sickly young man wrapped in an animal skin cloak was calmly drinking tea. This man was none other than Sikong Zhibo of the Sikong family.

Several years have passed since the incident at Zixu Palace. This person was seriously injured and fled at that time, and he seems to have not yet recovered. His face is even paler than before.

Besides him, there was another beautiful woman dressed in black hunting attire, who was none other than Sikong Jing.

At this moment, she looked extremely anxious and paced back and forth in the room.

At this moment, both of her arms were intact, clearly indicating that her right arm, which had been severed by Ning Fa, had been fully restored.

Although for high-level cultivators, losing a limb is a very serious matter, and it is very difficult to restore it to its original state.

But for the Sikong family, with its deep-rooted heritage, this wasn't a major problem.

After a long while, she stopped and looked at Sikong Zhibo, suppressing her anger as she asked, "Ninth Elder, we finally waited until that brat used the Taiyin Slaughtering God Banner, and now we know his location."

Why are you still stopping me from going over to capture and kill him?

Although he possesses the Taiyin Slaughtering God Banner, that treasure cannot be used by our Sikong clan, so that kid is no match for me right now.

I must kill him to avenge this humiliation!
