After speaking, Ning Chuanwei excitedly walked towards Ning Fa's house.
Ning Fa was stunned by this guy's thick skin and immediately blocked him, saying with an unfriendly expression, "Do you really intend to come in?"
Ning Chuanwei, however, was completely unfazed and said with a fawning smile, "It's all my fault for being too excited, I actually forgot to bring gifts and still had the nerve to visit. Brother Fa, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."
After speaking, the man disappeared in a flash.
Ning Fa stared blankly, and after a long while, he muttered, "He has potential."
Soon, Ning Chuanwei returned with bags and packages and was directly chased out by Ning Fa.
Ning Chuanwei, however, did not dare to complain at all. In fact, because they were neighbors, he felt a sense of glory.
He excitedly told everyone he met that Ning Fa had become an official family Pill Master, his excitement as if he himself had become a family Pill Master.
Word spread, and within half a day, many people on Pingchang Island knew about it, and it finally reached the ears of Ning Fa's relatives in his main family.
At Ning Fa's Maternal Aunt Ning Muchun's home.
In addition to Ning Muchun's family of three, Ning Fa's Paternal Uncle and Fourth Uncle's families were also present. In the past month, the two families had sat together to discuss matters for the sixth time. The elders of their lineage were not present.
In the hall, after a heated debate, the air fell silent again.
Ning Muchun and Meng Jinliang had calm expressions, appearing confident, while their son Ning Furong stood with his arms crossed, his smug smile almost uncontrollable.
The other two families looked a bit displeased. Ning Fa's Paternal Uncle and his wife had grim expressions, even showing anger. Ning Fa's eldest cousin, although appearing composed, also had a furrowed brow.
Even Ning Muchun's brother, Ning Baiquan, and his family looked unhappy.
Ning Muchun glanced at everyone and finally broke the silence, saying, "This is the situation. You all know that the Spirit Stabilizing Pill is an extremely precious pill for breaking through to the late stage of Qi Condensation. Even a cultivator with a four-spirit root at the sixth level of Qi Condensation who takes it can increase their breakthrough probability by 30%. As long as we can get one pill, Rong'er's chances of breaking through to the late stage of Qi Condensation will be even greater."
"Even in Tianshui Market, it's difficult to buy Spirit Stabilizing Pills, and they are extremely expensive. This time, the family treasury suddenly released two spots for Spirit Stabilizing Pills, and the price offered is much cheaper than in the outer markets. We must not miss such a rare opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's Paternal Uncle, Ning Zhengqian, who could no longer hold back, couldn't help but retort, "I have no objection to you buying the Spirit Stabilizing Pill, and I won't say anything even if you use our lineage's public funds. But why should we sell our spirit fields to raise Spirit Stones?"
As soon as he said this, even Ning Baiquan, who had always sided with his elder sister, couldn't help but nod slightly, looking in agreement.
This was because his family was also asked by Ning Muchun to sell their spirit fields.
Ning Muchun was unconcerned and said, "Zhengqian, you're mistaken. This time, it's not just your family and the third family that need to sell spirit fields. Our family not only plans to sell some spirit fields but even intends to sell one of our fishing boats."
"Even though the family's Spirit Stabilizing Pills are cheaper than those outside, they still cost five hundred family contribution points and at least twelve hundred Spirit Stones, plus additional Spirit Stones for building relationships. Naturally, we need to prepare a bit more Spirit Stones."
Hearing this, Ning Fa's Paternal Uncle opened his mouth, wanting to speak but unable to.
But Ning Fa's wife, Guo Ru, couldn't help but say, "But that's still for your son to buy a Spirit Stabilizing Pill. You should be the one to contribute more Spirit Stones. Who doesn't know that your family is wealthy, with five fishing boats? Can't you sell two more fishing boats?"
Ning Muchun glanced at her faintly. The authority she had gained from managing the branch family's affairs for a long time, coupled with the suppression from her higher cultivation realm, made Guo Ru, who was only at the third level of Qi Condensation, dare not look her in the eye.
She said with a cold smile, "Sister Ru, you're right. If our family had to sell everything we have, we could still gather these Spirit Stones. But have you forgotten what we discussed a month ago?"
"Didn't we agree to use the strength of our entire lineage to cultivate Rong'er to advance to the late stage of Qi Condensation? If only our family contributes, and then Rong'er truly obtains the direct lineage spot, will you then be able to not enjoy the direct lineage status of the family? Will you not need Rong'er to look after you in the future? You can't just enjoy the benefits without contributing, can you?"
Guo Ru was rendered speechless by Ning Muchun's words.
Ning Muchun snorted coldly and continued, "If you don't want to sell your spirit fields, then go persuade Ning Fa and get him to agree to sell that shop. Then all the problems will be solved."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fa's Paternal Uncle, Ning Zhengqian, shook his head and said, "Eldest Sister, we all know clearly that the shop was entirely earned by Zhiyuan alone, and it is also his inheritance for Xiao Fa. After Xiao Fa returns from the Fifth Elder's residence, you should return the shop to him. As for the spirit fields, if you want to sell them, then sell them. Alas."
Ning Fa's wife, Guo Ru, hurriedly grabbed his clothes, about to say something, but Ning Zhengqian waved his hand at her.
Guo Ru's expression dimmed, and she released her hands, ultimately saying nothing more.
Seeing that Ning Zhengqian had finally agreed, Ning Muchun and Meng Jinliang exchanged glances, both looking pleased.
However, regarding Ning Zhengqian's request for them to return the shop to Ning Fa, they both scoffed inwardly.
They were thinking that once Ning Fa returned from the Fifth Elder's residence in three months, they would have no more reservations and would seize the shop officially by any means necessary.
In fact, even if Ning Fa agreed to sell the shop, they themselves would not be willing.
Because with the current development momentum of the Ning family, shops in the market on Jinchang Island were increasing in value daily, making them worth their weight in gold.
Having already regarded the shop as their property, they were naturally unwilling to sell it now.
Seeing that Ning Zhengqian had agreed, Ning Baiquan sighed and also nodded in agreement.
Meng Jinliang's smile faded. To ease the atmosphere, he stood up and deliberately looked towards the door, saying, "Why hasn't Xilin arrived yet? We need to ask him before we can determine exactly which public assets to use, as he knows the situation best."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Meng Jinliang's face broke into a smile as he said, "Just in time, he's here."
Soon, an elder dressed in black, with a ruddy complexion and a shrewd and capable appearance, hurried in.
This person was Ning Xilin, the steward of the mortal bloodline of Ning Fa's lineage.
"Xilin, why are you so late! Didn't I tell you we had important matters to discuss today?" Ning Muchun reprimanded Ning Xilin with dissatisfaction.
Ning Xilin quickly apologized and then respectfully greeted everyone in turn.
After all, there was a distinction between immortals and mortals. Although his seniority was not low, he was naturally a step below in front of the cultivators of his lineage.
Then, he stood there in a daze, about to speak but unable to for a moment, his expression on his face incredibly complex, a mixture of shock and disbelief.
