Chapter 503: Keep Warm Together
A few months later.
The Fulong Sect's attempt to annex shops in Yulong Market has intensified. Almost all the popular shops around the Ning family's shop have put up the Fulong Sect's flag. The influence of the Longwei Peak Li family in Yulong Market is gradually declining.
Early that morning, Li Yuantong came to the talisman shop to visit his daughter.
Ning Daoran ordered Xiaobai to make tea for the guests, while he chatted with Li Yuan about some experiences in the Jindan stage.
"Ning's shop!"
There was a sudden commotion outside, and then a mid-stage Jindan cultivator with full energy stepped into the shop: "The deed to this shop has been taken back by Longshou Peak, and you are ordered to move out within three months!"
The person who came was an elder of the Fulong Sect, followed by several deacons.
"Huh?"
The elder was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "So Master Li Feng is here too."
"Elder Xu."
Li Yuantong slowly stood up, trying to suppress his anger: "I, Li Yuantong, personally promised to rent this shop to Master Ning Fu. How could you, the Fulong Sect, go so far as to extend your hand to this place?"
"Please forgive me, Master Li Feng."
Elder Xu cupped his fists and smiled: "I am also following the order of the ancestor and dare not disobey. It is imperative to take back all the shops in Yulong Market. I believe the peak master is also aware of this."
“Nonsense!”
Li Yuantong said angrily: "This Yulong Market was founded by our Li family's ancestors after they moved to Longwei Peak. It is the hard work of our Li family. What does it have to do with your Fulong Sect? You are so blatantly annexing our Li family's assets. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world?"
"Master Li Feng."
Elder Xu's face turned cold. "Anyone with a little common sense knows that this Longwei Peak was given to the Li family when the Fulong Sect split up. Everything on Longwei Peak originally belonged to the Fulong Sect, and so did the Fish Dragon Market. Now the ancestor has issued a decree to take the Fish Dragon Market back to the Fulong Sect and let the Fulong Sect manage it. Master Li is acting like this. Could it be that he is dissatisfied with the ancestor's decision?"
"I just don't accept it!"
Li Yuantong's eyes were cold: "I will go and ask to see the ancestor now, please ask Elder Xu to take the people out immediately! Without my nod, no one can touch this Ning family shop!"
"whispering sound!"
Elder Xu sneered, turned around and led his men away.
"father!"
Li Yinping grabbed Li Yuantong's arm and shook his head gently: "No... don't go to the ancestor to argue, okay?"
“This is no longer tolerable.”
Li Yuantong's eyes were cold: "The ancestor's decision is to completely drain the resources of my Li family. There is no room for maneuver. As the leader of Longwei Peak, I should strive for something. Otherwise... I am afraid that our Longwei Peak will really become a vassal of Longshou Peak!"
"Friend Li."
Ning Daoran frowned and said, "Ning also suggests not to go find Li Bin. Although he is the ancestor of the Li family, he only cares about profit and has no feelings for others. Besides, he has already insisted on doing what he wants. Why would you go and get into trouble?"
"I understand what Master Ning Fu said, but this matter has been delayed for so long, there must be an explanation."
Li Yuantong looked determined: "If I don't say a word, I am not worthy of being the leader of Longwei Peak!"
With that said, Li Yuantong flicked his sleeves and left, transforming into a beam of light and heading straight for Longshou Peak.
Ning Daoran frowned, and for no reason, a bad premonition arose in his heart.
…
Late at night, bad news came from Longwei Peak.
Two elders of the Fulong Sect, along with a group of disciples, carried Li Yuantong's body to Longwei Peak.
The starlight was dim. Li Yuantong's body was placed in the main hall of Longwei Peak, covered with a layer of white cloth with scarlet spots on it, which was extremely creepy.
"father……"
Li Yinping knelt beside her, crying bitterly.
Ning Daoran released his spiritual sense and took a sweep, and found that Li Yuantong's entire head was almost shattered. His head was smashed by a palm. In addition, there were several fatal wounds on his chest caused by flying swords. It seemed that the other party not only wanted to kill Li Yuantong, but also wanted to vent his anger.
"how so?"
Ning Daoran frowned and asked, "Two elders, Master Li Feng was clearly going to Longshou Peak to discuss the matter with the ancestor about the Fish Dragon Market, so why did he die on Longshou Peak?"
"well……"
One of the elders had a dim look in his eyes and said, "Master Ning Fu, you don't know that Peak Master Li went to the main peak to find the ancestor to argue with him. His words were very fierce. I heard from the deacon disciples on the peak that Peak Master Li's words were very aggressive and angered the ancestor, so the ancestor took action. But he didn't expect that Peak Master Li dared to resist, so the ancestor killed him."
"This is more than just a fatal move."
Ning Daoran said calmly: "Master Li Feng is the descendant of the Li family's ancestor, but he is so cruel..."
"This matter cannot be explained in words."
The elder transmitted the message: "Master Ning Fu, you'd better not get involved in this matter. The destruction of Longwei Peak is a foregone conclusion. The Fulong Sect is destined to dominate Longwang Mountain. This is the decision of the ancestor, and no one can change it. Now it is Longwei Peak. After Longwei Peak is dealt with, it will naturally be Fengxue Tower."
He had bought a few third-level talismans from the talisman shop and had met Ning Daoran a few times. He transmitted his voice, "I can't say much. I hope Master Ning can stay out of this matter to avoid being affected. A storm will soon come to Dragon King Mountain."
"Thank you for the reminder, Elder."
Ning Daoran nodded slightly: "I'll make a note of it."
Soon, the two elders led a group of Fulong Sect disciples away.
The group of disciples at Longwei Peak were extremely grief-stricken.
A few days later, Li Yuantong was buried, and Li Yinping was heartbroken.
…
Talisman shop.
Ning Daoran sat quietly drinking tea, frowning as he watched the swaying bamboo shadows outside the window.
"Miss Li."
He flicked his sleeves lightly to set up an isolation barrier, and then asked softly, "What are your plans regarding the Dragon Tail Peak?"
"Dad was killed by the ancestor, I will not let this account go."
Li Yinping's beautiful eyes were filled with chills as she said, "Even if I can't kill the ancestor now, I will definitely practice hard and avenge my father at some point in the future!"
"You are only in the early stage of Jindan now, I am afraid it will be difficult."
Ning Daoran said, "I met Li Bin once before, and I could see that he didn't have much time left, only thirty to fifty years at most. It's impossible for you to break through to the Nascent Soul stage within thirty to fifty years, so your hope of revenge is extremely slim."
"Master Ning Fu..."
Li Yinping's shoulders trembled, tears streaming down her cheeks: "What can I do? Longwei Peak is now in disarray, and several of my brothers want to start their own factions. What can I do?"
"The Dragon Tail Peak event is a foregone conclusion."
Ning Daoran said, "In my opinion, you must not inherit your father's business, so as not to be targeted by Li Bin. Instead, you should stay out of it and not get involved in the disputes at Longwei Peak. If a few brothers want to fight, just let them fight. You don't have to pay attention."
"yes."
Li Yinping gritted her teeth and said, "I'll listen to Master Ning Fu..."
Ning Daoran nodded, but didn't say anything more.
…
Late at night, Longshou Peak.
The moon is bright and the stars are dim.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“Shua~~~”
A figure floated into the ancestral cave at the top of Longshou Peak. The man was dressed in white and had an immortal look. It was none other than Han Dinghai, the leader of the Fulong Sect.
“Ancestor!”
After Han Dinghai entered the cave, he knelt on the ground and said very respectfully: "I'm back!"
"Dinghai."
Li Bin sat cross-legged on the stone bed and slowly opened his eyes: "Did you gain anything?"
"This trip lived up to our ancestors' expectations!"
Han Dinghai held a jade bottle in both hands and presented it, saying, "After months of planning and spending a huge amount of money, I finally got this fourth-level longevity pill. It is said that this longevity pill came from an auction in Kunpeng Immortal City in Xia Country. Now it has finally fallen into my hands after being passed around by many people."
"really?"
Li Bin's eyes lit up and he said, "Show it to me!"
"Yes, ancestor!"
Han Dinghai stood up and respectfully presented the jade bottle.
Li Bin poured out the pill, which was a golden elixir full of elixir fragrance and dense elixir patterns. He was immediately ecstatic: "It really is a fourth-level longevity pill. The Xia country's cultivation world is indeed profound. There really is an alchemist who can refine a fourth-level longevity pill. This pill can increase my lifespan by at least a hundred years. In this way... I can plan many great things!"
"Congratulations, ancestor! Congratulations, ancestor!"
Han Dinghai knelt on the ground again.
"Dinghai, you are capable, I will not treat you unfairly."
Li Bin took the longevity pill into his mouth and said, "After three days, ask Han Liang to come over. I will sacrifice some of my magic power to teach him the skills!"
"Yes, thank you, ancestor!"
Han Dinghai was ecstatic, his eyes full of burning passion.
…
Half a month later.
A piece of news spread throughout Yulongfang Market that Han Liang, the saint of Fulong Sect, had made rapid progress in his cultivation after receiving the skills passed down by his ancestors. He had officially broken through to the late Jindan stage, completely surpassing Bai Feiyu and becoming the first of the young generation of disciples of Sanfeng! At the same time, the talisman shop received letters from Fulong Sect urging them to cancel their leases and move out.
Ning Daoran had no choice but to leave.
One afternoon, it was drizzling in spring and a beautiful figure walked into the talisman shop. It was Bai Feiyu.
"Master Ning Fu."
Bai Feiyu looked a little tired as she said, "I've heard about the talisman shop. Since it has been taken back by the Fulong Sect and they are unwilling to rent it to Master Ning, do you have any plans for the next step?"
"No."
Ning Daoran shook his head and said, "I am a casual cultivator, drifting with the wind, so it doesn't matter. Since Yulongfang City is not a place to stay for a long time, I will leave Longwang Mountain. The world is so big, there will always be a place for people to stay."
"If that's the case..."
Bai Feiyu frowned and said, "Feiyu, on the orders of my master, invites Master Ning Fu to live in Fengxue Tower. Fengxue Tower can allocate the Immortal Residence located on the fourth-level lower-grade spiritual vein to Master Ning Fu to live in. We don't charge a penny. We only ask Master Ning Fu to refine fifty third-level talismans for Fengxue Tower every year. Master Ning Fu, rest assured, Fengxue Tower will bear all the materials. How do you think?"
“…”
Ning Daoran frowned and fell into deep thought.
Bai Feiyu's proposal made him very excited. Now that the opportunity for condensing a baby was ripe, he would need to condense a baby on a fourth-level spiritual vein after all. This way the chance of success would be higher. Fengxue Tower also had a deep foundation. Li Bin would certainly not be able to uproot Fengxue Tower in a short period of time. This period of time was enough for him to succeed in condensing a baby.
What's more, Fengxue Tower was full of sincerity. They didn't ask for much but gave a lot. Although there was a hint of making friends and keeping each other warm, Ning Daoran didn't refuse.
Compared with Li Bin and the Fulong Sect, the Fengxue Tower is more like a famous and authentic sect.
"Can."
Ning Daoran clasped his fists lightly: "Thank you very much, Fairy Bai!"
"Um!"
Bai Feiyu smiled dimple-like, looked at Li Yinping beside her, and said, "Junior Sister Yinping, come over too. The Immortal Residence is very big. Junior Sister can live in the Immortal Residence with Master Ning Fu and continue to practice Fu Dao. Junior Sister will also be safer in Fengxue Tower."
"this……"
Li Yinping was a little hesitant.
"What are you still hesitating about?"
Ning Daoran said: "This is the best choice."
"yes!"
Li Yinping nodded slightly: "Thank you, Senior Sister Feiyu!"
So the Ning family shop started to move, and in just half a day they packed up and moved to Fengxue Tower.
