Ning Fa returned to Small Bamboo Island.
Although his status had changed, his primary responsibility was still refining the Jade Dragon Pill.
To be honest, he quite liked living on Small Bamboo Island.
It was very quiet, with no one disturbing him usually, and the spiritual energy concentration was also very high.
Besides refining pills, he cultivated.
He really enjoyed this kind of life, especially seeing his strength increase day by day.
It was during these two years on Small Bamboo Island that he completed his initial period of dormancy, his strength skyrocketing to a level almost second only to Ning Huarong.
The only drawback seemed to be that Liu Qinghui also lived on this island.
Even though the two had been intimate, and it was this woman's first time.
It still hadn't dispelled Ning Fa's prejudice against her.
Ning Fa returned to his usual rhythm.
A small amount of time for refining pills, and a large amount of time for cultivation.
He also spent some time studying combat recordings and making talismans as a form of leisure.
A month later.
Liu Qinghui knocked on his door again.
She glanced at Ning Fa, a strange look flashing in her eyes.
Before Ning Fa could speak, she simply walked in.
As she walked, she took off her clothes.
After seven steps, she was completely naked.
Then she turned around, her head held high, looking at Ning Fa with an air of untouchability.
Ning Fa frowned slightly as he looked at her.
Feeling his brother's arousal, he couldn't help but slap it down.
He cursed inwardly, "What a spineless fellow."
But his gaze was fixed on Liu Qinghui.
He felt the Five Elements Thunder Rune Pattern within him begin to stir again.
Ning Fa shrugged.
Fine.
He might as well relax.
A great battle ensued.
A long, long time later.
Liu Qinghui took a deep breath and, with some difficulty, got up to put on her clothes.
Then she left without saying a word.
Ning Fa raised his eyebrows.
Why did he feel like this "green tea" was treating him like a tool?
But Ning Fa didn't care.
He felt the aura of the water element symbol within the Five Elements Thunder Rune Pattern grow a bit stronger.
A pleased expression appeared on his face.
And so it went.
Liu Qinghui would visit every three to five days.
Ning Fa would also start immediately without any discussion.
The two exchanged no words, tacitly taking what they needed.
After one of their countless intimate encounters, Liu Qinghui, while enjoying the afterglow, suddenly said, "This is too wasteful. I have a dual cultivation technique. Let's follow this technique from now on."
With that, Liu Qinghui left, leaving behind a jade slip.
Ning Fa looked at it with a suspicious expression.
He discovered that the cultivation technique was called [He Yuan Art], and it was indeed a superior dual cultivation technique, reaching the Mysterious Grade Low-tier.
Cultivating this technique provided great benefits to both the male and female partners during intercourse.
Because it was a technique left by Liu Qinghui, the cautious Ning Fa was initially unwilling to cultivate it.
However, he was astonished to find that the scroll had reacted again.
It directly traced the origin of this technique to [Su Yin He Xin Art], a powerful dual cultivation technique that reached the Earth Tier High-grade.
Ning Fa immediately began cultivating the technique without hesitation.
Five days later, Liu Qinghui visited again.
The two were no longer just engaging in physical combat, but were cultivating according to a dual cultivation technique.
However, what Liu Qinghui didn't know was that Ning Fa was now cultivating a primordial technique.
The refined spiritual energy generated during their dual cultivation was mostly absorbed by Ning Fa.
Although Liu Qinghui was a little confused, she noticed that the Yin Cold Qi within her body was becoming more stable and powerful, yielding far better results than before.
Without overthinking it, she continued to immerse herself in their dual cultivation, even putting in more effort.
Thus, Ning Fa cultivated while taking pills and also through dual cultivation.
Half a year passed.
His cultivation advanced rapidly, and in a short period, he was approaching the peak of the Sixth Layer of Qi Condensation.
However, due to the unique nature of his Great Five Elements Thunder Body, advancing was much more difficult than for ordinary cultivators, so breaking through to the Late Qi Condensation realm quickly was not an easy feat.
With each dual cultivation session, the water element symbol within his Five Elements Thunder Rune Pattern became increasingly lifelike.
It could now support him in using the True Gui Water Thunder twice, making it his strongest technique at present.
Furthermore, he had now cultivated eleven Lesser Thunder Sources.
If other Lightning Spiritual Root cultivators who practiced the Ancient Source Thunder Scripture knew this number, they would likely be astonished.
Thanks to the ample supply of Nine Revolutions Purple Yuan Powder, his cultivation of the body-refining chapter of the Ancient Source Thunder Scripture was also very smooth.
He now possessed a strength of roughly seven to eight hundred jin.
Liu Qinghui had the most say in how robust his physique was.
If Liu Qinghui also didn't have a special constitution, she would definitely not have been able to withstand such frequent exertions.
Ning Fa had also completed the second level of the Moon God Art and had begun cultivating the third level.
His spiritual sense now extended to a range of about fifty feet, far exceeding the limit for Qi Refining cultivators.
Therefore, in just half a year, his strength had still increased considerably.
On this day, Wei Shiqin arrived at Small Bamboo Island.
Although she was the person in charge of Tongbao Pavilion in Tianshui Market, she spent a considerable amount of time at the Ning Family's residence.
She was specifically responsible for the Red Coral Stone waters.
Whenever this woman visited the Ning Family, she would invariably seek out Ning Fa for a chat.
Ning Fa felt that she sought him out more often than she sought out Ning Shaohong.
Unexpectedly, Wei Shiqin had come to bid him farewell this time.
"I'm returning to Tianshui Market. I probably won't be visiting the Ning Family much from now on," Wei Shiqin said with a slight smile.
Ning Fa was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, "It seems Miss Shiqin has had a fruitful harvest of what she was looking for. Congratulations."
Wei Shiqin chuckled charmingly, "Although I'm leaving, our merchant guild will continue to lease that water area long-term. However, someone else will be overseeing it from now on."
Ning Fa couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then Miss Shiqin, can you tell me now what exactly you are doing in that water area?"
Wei Shiqin gently shook her head and replied with a soft smile, "That's a secret of our merchant guild, and it can't be revealed casually."
After speaking, her charming eyes flickered, and she said meaningfully, "But who knows, you might find out in the future. Perhaps sister will need your help then."
Ning Fa's gaze flashed.
Wei Shiqin's words revealed quite a bit of information.
Could it be that their merchant guild's preparations in that water area were for refining a certain type of pill?
If that were the case, judging by Tongbao Pavilion's approach, this pill must be extraordinary.
Wei Shiqin rose to leave. She seemed to recall something, "Oh, right. Cloud Crystal Liquid has been very scarce recently. The previous supply channels are temporarily unavailable due to some reasons. But don't worry, I'm working hard to find other channels to obtain this item."
Wei Shiqin left, and Ning Fa frowned.
The shortage of Cloud Crystal Liquid was not good news.
Another half year passed.
Ning Fa found himself at a bottleneck.
He had cultivated to the peak of the Sixth Layer of Qi Condensation but was consistently unable to break through the bottleneck to Late Qi Condensation.
With no other options, Ning Fa decisively used the Thousand Mile Talisman that Ning Zhongyuan had given him.
Ning Zhongyuan quickly replied, informing him that he would send some precious breakthrough spiritual items as soon as possible.
At this moment, Ning Fa received news that completely shocked him.
Ning Huarong had failed to establish her Foundation.
I'm quite busy with work, so there might only be two updates recently.
