He said in an aggrieved tone: "Grandfather, you have misunderstood me so deeply!"

"Since I founded the branch family, I have been away from home and have gone on adventures, all for the sake of the family."

"I finally got the Yugang Mountain business after exhausting all my energy, moving around, going back and forth many times, and working hard."

"Although I have traveled far away from home, I have never forgotten my family and my responsibilities as the head of a branch family."

Ning Jufan couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Facts speak louder than words!

Ning Jiufan witnessed with his own eyes that the Ning family branch in Huoshixian City was doing a booming business in Yurun Xuangang. To the extent that many members of the main clan were jealous and said a lot of sour words.

Ning Zhuo had written a letter to Ning Jiufan long before he left Wuyin Mountain, informing him roughly what had happened on Wuyin Mountain.

When Ning Jiufan received the letter, he read it through and couldn't help but smile. He was very satisfied with Ning Zhuo's performance in Wuyin Mountain.

Ning nodded: "You did a good job in the Wuyin Mountain matter."

Ning Zhuo smiled and said, "Grandfather, this time, I am going to follow the example of Wuyin Mountain and seek more cooperation with Wanyaomen."

Ning Jiufan stroked his beard and pondered, "Huoshi Mountain and Wanyao Valley are quite far apart. It would be very costly to build a teleportation array. But if we rely on post stations and trade routes, there would be more risks."

"The Wanyao Sect's business is booming, so it's not necessary for us to ask for it."

"These two are the major obstacles to our cooperation with Wanyaomen."

Obviously, Ning Jiufan had been thinking about this cooperation since he read Ning Zhuo's letter.

Ning Zhuo nodded: "Old Ancestor, your words are very insightful. Our Ning family is dispensable to the Wanyao Sect."

"But our Ning family doesn't have anything that can be used to make Wanyaomen eager to cooperate."

"I've thought about it for a long time, boy. I have nothing to buy or sell, so I'll just sell my life!"

"Old Ancestor, Wanyao Sect is not good at fighting, so we specially arranged the policy of Xiaozhengfeng and vigorously supported the monks stationed outside. Some elders at the Jindan level were also hired from outside."

"These are not their own people, so they have to use them and defend against them at the same time."

"If our Ning family becomes a close ally of the Wanyao Sect, we will be able to gain more trust than these foreign monks."

Ning Jiufan: "What's the meaning of this?"

Ning Zhuo explained: "Firstly, our Ning family has a rich family background. The monk may run away, but the temple cannot. From this point of view, we are naturally more trustworthy than independent cultivators and demon cultivators."

"Secondly, we are far away from Wanyaomen, so there won't be any friction in our daily operations."

"Thirdly, our Ning family once received help from the Wanyao Sect during our migration. Such old friendship is also worthy of more trust in each other."

Ning Jufan nodded slightly, agreeing with Ning Zhuo's analysis.

"But even so, if we really want to negotiate with Lin Bufan, I'm afraid it won't be a good idea."

"I have met this person several times. He is very cunning and shrewd. He is a practical person among the Nascent Soul cultivators."

"We are now begging the Wanyao Sect. If we take the initiative to negotiate, Lin Bufan will definitely lower the price severely."

Ning Jufan knows Lin Bufan much better than Ning Zhuo does.

Ning Zhuo pondered and said, "Perhaps we can spread rumors? Spread the word that Wanyaomen is in danger?"

Ning Jiufan immediately shook his head: "No."

"Lin Bufan, as his name suggests, is a man of extraordinary talent. He is much older than you, and this is his territory, which he has carefully managed for many years."

"He will easily be able to spot rumors and trace them back to their source."

"If you really do that, you'll end up making things worse."

Ning Zhuo nodded and immediately gave up the idea. After all, he had never even seen Lin Bufan, and Ning Jufan had come into contact with Lin Bufan more times than he did.

Ning Jiufan stared at Ning Zhuo and smiled: "Xiao Zhuo, the Ice Heart Jade Pot is still with you, right? How long do you want to borrow it?"

Ning Zhuo laughed, took out the Bingxin Jade Pot and presented it with both hands.

No explanation at all.

On the contrary, after Ning Jufan took back the Ice Heart Jade Pot, he explained to Ning Zhuo: "This pot is a precious inheritance of my Ning family, and it benefits the whole family. If you keep it to yourself, you can't bring out its true value."

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "To be precise, it is of great significance to the main branch of the Ning family who practiced the Bing Xin Jue."

After successfully practicing the Ice Heart Technique, the foundation of the Upper Dantian of the Sea of ​​Gods often far exceeds that of the other two Dantians. In this case, drinking the Ice Jade Wine produced in the Ice Heart Jade Pot can save the cultivator a lot of hard work and allow the cultivation of the Upper Dantian to drive the other two Dantians.

Since Ning Zhuo had sent a letter to summon the Ning family's ancestor, he was naturally mentally prepared for this matter.

To be honest, when the Bingxin Jade Pot fell into his hands, he found that it was of little use.

It has two greatest uses, one is to produce ice jade wine, and the other is to increase the healing effect.

For the former, Ning Zhuo had already emptied the ice jade wine when he exchanged the jade pot. For the latter, if he wanted to heal his wounds, Ning Zhuo had the floating ice jade hand as a perfect substitute.

"Empty?" The Ning family ancestor took a look with his spiritual sense and saw that the Ice Heart Jade Pot was empty. He couldn't help but wonder: "What do you want so much Ice Jade Wine for?"

“Even if it is sold, the cultivator must be a frost practitioner and have an outstanding sea of ​​​​divine cultivation to be applicable.”

“This wine has never sold well.”

Ning Jufan reminded.

The magic weapon that is suitable for the Ning family may not be suitable for others.

"I have my own uses for this wine." Ning Zhuo showed his toughness at this time.

Ning nodded in agreement and did not pursue the matter.

What a joke! Are you going to hold Ning Zhuo responsible? Ning Jiufan knew that although Ning Zhuo was only in the early stage of foundation building, his combat power had reached the Golden Core level, and was even the peak of the Golden Core level!

Those mechanical creations, especially the giant snake sickle... Ning Jiufan had also witnessed them with his own eyes.

Therefore, since the battle for the Lava Fairy Palace came to a temporary end, Ning Jufan's attitude towards Ning Zhuo also underwent a major change.

In the past, he had completely regarded Ning Zhuo as an outstanding junior of his family. But now, in his heart, Ning Zhuo deserved to be treated equally.

"Ancestor, take a look at this." Ning Zhuo took out a jade slip and handed it to Ning Rushan.

"Poison Flame Chrysanthemum?" Ning Jiufan scanned it with his spiritual sense, and the smile on his face became a little wider. "This is a good thing. I will support the branch family."

Ning Zhuo said, "At present, my branch has limited manpower. It is mainly invested in the operation of Yurun Xuangang, and a small number of people rely on Lava Fairy Palace to protect their own duties."

"So, I am willing to cooperate with the main vein in this business of Poison Flame Chrysanthemum and operate it together!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Oh? Are you willing to do that?" Ning Jiufan was surprised.

Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "The cultivation of flowers is just a small profit compared to the future prospects."

"If we only use the manpower of my branch family, it will not be enough. Not to mention a few months, even in two or three years, there will not be much improvement."

"Grandfather, I am practicing now, and my money is getting tighter and tighter. I urgently need funds. The more funds the better!"

"So, we can make the Poison Flame Chrysanthemum as big as possible!"

"But if the main vein wants to participate, my branch family must take the lead. In terms of profits, my branch family will get 80% and the main vein will get 20%. "

Ning Jiufan glared: "Twenty-eight?"

Ning Zhuo waved his hand: "No bargaining! If the head of the Ning family doesn't agree, then I will cooperate with the Zhou family."

Ning Jiufan snorted coldly: "We both have the surname Ning, but I am a bit harsh to my own family."

Ning Zhuo sneered and gave Ning Jiufan a straight look: "Since I was old enough to understand, the head of the Ning family has always treated me like this. Repaying a debt in kind is the law of nature."

Ning Jiufan sighed and changed the subject: "You used the black market and Lava Palace to make a lot of money, how come your resources are running out in just a few months?"

Ning Zhuo untied the Wanli Youlong tied around his waist and showed it to Ning Jufan.

"A Yuanying-level mechanism! Is this... Wanli Youlong? What a good thing." Ning Jiufan identified it and was deeply impressed.

He had already guessed it in his mind, so he was not overly surprised to see Wanli Youlong at this time.

At the same time, he also learned the reason why Ning Zhuo was short of funds.

Ning Zhuo told him that this Wanli Wandering Dragon Mechanism was originally supposed to be driven by the Nascent Soul. Now, it could only be controlled by the Fire Essence, and every time it was activated, the consumption was extremely huge. By now, he was almost unable to hold on.

Ning Jufan rebuked him: "Why do you need to use Wanli Youlong when you are on a normal journey? This is too extravagant. The real use of it should be when you are in danger and use Wanli Youlong to escape."

Ning Zhuo did not tell Ning Jufan. For the sake of his mother, he was so anxious that he hurried on his way as fast as possible.

"I can rest assured that you have the Wanli Youlong protecting you. As for the fire spirit, I have some news that may be useful." Ning Jufan said that a ten-thousand-year-old fire spirit appeared in Huoshi Mountain.

Meanwhile, Meng Kui was gathering the Jindan cultivators from the Zhou and Ning families, and had already taken Ning Juefan's fire-core pomegranate to set a trap.

"This ten thousand year old fire essence is already very spiritual. If I had this, it should be able to greatly reduce the consumption of the Wanli Wandering Dragon."

"As long as the Ten Thousand Year Fire Spirit is not completely destroyed, it can absorb spiritual energy from the outside world and recover quickly."

Ning Zhuo's eyes lit up, but then a look of worry appeared on his face.

This is indeed good news, but how can one get the Ten Thousand Year Old Fire Spirit from Meng Kui's men?

After a careful communication with the ancestor, Ning Zhue also learned that Yuan Lao's injuries were still there. If she participated in the fight for the Ten Thousand Year Fire Spirit, she might be counterattacked by Meng Kui.

If anything happens to Grandma Yuan, Ning will surrender and the Ning family will really lose both the wife and the army.

"Given the current situation, we must make sure Grandma Yuan recovers before we can protect ourselves."

"On the basis of protecting myself, maybe I can get the Ten Thousand Years Fire Spirit with the help of Grandma Yuan!"

Ning Zhuo and Ning Jiufan thus reached an agreement.

Ning Jiufan asked Ning Zhuo about his recent situation.

Ning Zhuo handed over all the information he had collected about Wanyaomen to Ning Jiufan.

Tell the truth about your own experiences to avoid making misjudgments.

Ning Jiufan: ...

After listening to this, he was silent for a moment, then glared and said, "Lin Bufan's precious daughter was put in solitary confinement because of you. And you still say you didn't cause any trouble?"

Ning Zhuo defended himself, "Ms. Lin and I hit it off right away. Helping each other is a testament to our friendship."

Ning Jiufan snorted and suddenly said, "So, the method of growing the poisonous chrysanthemum was also secretly given to you by Lin Shanshan?"

Ning Zhuo immediately shook his head: "Of course not. This cultivation method comes from Hua Guzi."

Ning surrendered: "..."
