Ning Fan: "Yes, but after this failure, I got more clues..."

Chunyang: "Are you really not going to give up?"

Ning Fan: "Why give up?"

Chunyang: "Sure enough, do we still want to continue? Brother Ning is a determined person, which is admirable! Or maybe Brother Ning is actually deliberately using this matter to remind me? To make me understand the true meaning of dispersing money? If so, that's true

Let Brother Ning worry about it."

Ning Fan, who didn't quite understand: "???"

I always feel that there is something strange and wrong about the recent Patriarch Chunyang. I can’t tell what is wrong specifically.

"Didn't Brother Ning want this thing before? Just give it to Brother Ning." As he spoke, Patriarch Chunyang gave Ning Fan some jade slips.

Back then, in order to improve the purity of his magic power, Ning Fan bought a formula called "Pure Refining Jue" from Master Chunyang.

But he didn't buy them all. Ning Fan only bought these formulas for the Six Tribulations of Eternity.

What Patriarch Chunyang gave to Ning Fan this time was all the remaining formulas.

"Give it to me? This is too expensive." Ning Fan didn't want to take this thing for nothing.

He still remembered the price Grandmaster Chunyang offered for refining the Pure Jue.

The Immortal King’s purity formula for the five tribulations is five hundred gold; the sixth tribulation is one thousand gold; the seventh tribulation is one thousand five hundred gold; the eighth tribulation is two thousand gold; the ninth tribulation is two thousand five hundred gold; the first-level quasi-sage formula is three thousand gold.

; The second level, three thousand gold; the third level, another three thousand gold...

The follow-up formula given by Master Chunyang this time is worth fifteen thousand heavenly gold.

How could Ning Fan take it for free if it is so valuable? Not to mention that he had received help from Grandmaster Chunyang some time ago.

He should not take the gift from Master Chunyang in vain.

Instead, he should be the one thanking Patriarch Chunyang.

"Brother Ning looked hesitant. Could it be that he wanted to give me money?" Patriarch Chunyang said jokingly when he saw that Ning Fan was not accepting the gift.

"Of course not..." Ning Fan sighed secretly, thanked Patriarch Chunyang, and accepted the gift.

He lied.

This thing is too expensive. He was hesitant just now, but actually he really planned to pay for it.

But in the end, he didn't do it.

It's not that he's reluctant to pay fifteen thousand gold, but he's unwilling to use mere gold and silver to gauge Patriarch Chunyang's feelings.

However, considering that gold and silver are of great significance to Patriarch Chunyang, Ning Fan will naturally keep this in mind.

There will be other rewards in the future, but I won’t mention them here.

Patriarch Chunyang seemed to have seen through Ning Fan's thoughts and said with a smile, "Brother Ning really doesn't have to be so open-minded! In the previous life-and-death battle, Lv risked his life to come here. The righteousness lies in the fact that he can sacrifice his life, so why not cherish gold and silver! Just a simple formula

, just give it to you, don’t worry about it!”

"Thank you." Ning Fan looked serious, cupped his fists and thanked him.

Patriarch Chunyang just waved his hand indifferently, and then said awkwardly, "Moreover...this pure refining formula is actually not worth much. To be honest, this formula was actually made up casually when I was very bored.

In terms of cost, it only cost me half an hour of time and a few empty jade slips. For such a cheap thing, I actually offered Brother Ning tens of thousands of gold, and even defrauded Brother Ning of thousands of gold. I feel ashamed.

, Ashamed! In the past, I cherished my money as much as my life, and I didn’t think there was anything wrong with this matter. Every time I thought about this matter, I just felt complacent. Now that my Taoist mind has gone further, I realize that today is right and yesterday was wrong. When I think about this matter again,

I'm so ashamed that I can't express my shame... What kind of treasure can be sold for tens of thousands of heavenly gold? As a god of wealth, I have no respect for money. I only ask for high prices and pay back the money. I was wrong. I was wrong all the time.

ah!"

Ning Fan: "???"

Ning Fan: "!!!"

Ning Fan: "..."

Patriarch Chunyang: "Brother Ning's expression seems to be a bit mixed?"

Ning Fan: "I just didn't expect that such an exquisite formula was actually made up casually by Brother Lu..."

Patriarch Chunyang: "I never thought that someone would actually give me the price I casually asked for..."

"..." Ning Fan was offended.

The implication is that in your eyes, I was actually an... idiot?

"Uh, I made a mistake, I'm sorry." Patriarch Chunyang said awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter. Back then, you and I were strangers, so it was normal for us to plot against each other and slander each other. No matter what, how amazing and talented my fellow Taoist is, I finally realized it today." Ning Fan sincerely praised.

He casually invented such unnatural things as the sky-shielding coffin.

When I had nothing to do, I wrote such wonderful formulas as "Lian Chun Jue".

It is no lie to say that Patriarch Chunyang is amazingly talented!

Such characters are trapped in the dream world and have bad luck, so they are only first-level quasi-sages. If they were born in the real world and worshiped a saint as their teacher, who knows what their future would be like.

Ning Fan believed that Patriarch Chunyang had the qualifications to become a saint.

"Speaking of which, Brother Lu's magic power has improved a lot recently. I'm afraid it won't be long before he can break through to the second level of quasi-sage, right?" Ning Fan asked after putting away the jade slip of the Pure Refining Technique.

"Well, can you see that my cultivation has improved?" Patriarch Chunyang was startled.

He had used the power of the God of Wealth title to cover his aura. Even an ancient cultivator shouldn't have seen through his advanced cultivation.

Why was Ning Fan seeing through it!

This kid's perception is simply monster level!

"Um."

"When did you see through this? It takes some time to see through this kind of thing, right? You probably saw through it because I was approaching the second-level quasi-sage breakthrough in recent days and neglected to cover my aura, right?" Chunyang

The Patriarch was greatly shocked and asked.

"..." Ning Fan didn't know how to answer.

Do you mean to say that I saw the clues from the first day you improved your cultivation? I just never found the opportunity to ask in detail?

"You kid, you are really a monster." Patriarch Chunyang saw through Ning Fan's thoughts and was even more shocked.

"I heard that when a quasi-sage breaks through to the second level, he will often call on his friends and ask for help. When Brother Lu is fully prepared and decides to break through, don't forget to inform him." Ning Fan.

"Haha, if it really comes to the day of breaking through to the second level, it is natural to ask Brother Ning for help. People say that friends are born and friends are friends until death. I have lived too long, but there are no Taoist friends of my generation left.

How many people are there? Apart from Brother Ning, I really don’t know who to invite..." Patriarch Chunyang sighed for a moment, only feeling that the world has changed. In this vicissitudes of life, waiting for people who will never return, it is really... very lonely.

"The day of your Taoist breakthrough will surely come."

"Haha, no need, no need. If there is something important then, it doesn't matter if Brother Ning doesn't come." Even so, Patriarch Chunyang knew that since the man in front of him said he would come, he would definitely do it even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead.

Come.

It's great that in this lonely world of cultivation, we can still find true Taoist friends.

"Okay, okay, you can continue your work. It's time for me to go find Yu Jizi!" Patriarch Chunyang said goodbye.

Yu Jizi is the real name of the fish owner.

"...In that case, I will go with you." Ning Fan said.

"Don't! I'm going to find Old Man Yu to spread my wealth, what's the point of you joining me? Besides, Old Man Yu seems to be still angry, so he may not want to see you! You'd better concentrate on studying the restoration of your artifact!"

…

The fish owner was indeed angry with Ning Fan.

But in fact, I just got angry when I first learned about Jiu Xiaojiu’s whereabouts.

After figuring out the cause and effect, he would no longer be angry with Ning Fan. Instead, he would feel a little sorry for Ning Fan.

Yes, the fish owner already knows that the reason why the alcoholic demon who he regards as his granddaughter is missing is because he was captured by Ning Fan.

How did the fish owner know this?

This starts with Ning Fan inviting the Fish Master to heal his wounds in the Arctic Palace.

Time goes back to that day, when the fish owner said goodbye to Ning Fan, Chunyang, and Lei Ze.

Ning Fan: "This place is the Immortal Emperor's Cave, which is most suitable for healing. Brother Yu might as well stay here temporarily to recuperate his injuries. Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Fish owner: "I have something urgent, so I can't stay long."

Chunyang: "If you have any difficulties, you might as well talk, maybe we can help."

Fish owner: "Hey, it's like this. I know a little guy. I watched her grow up, just like my granddaughter. This little guy has never been away from me for too long, but recently, she has

Missing."

Lei Ze: "Missing? Are there any clues?"

Fish Master: "No. I planted a mark on her body, but now I can't sense it at all. I don't know if she is trapped in some ancient ruins or involved in some danger... Or maybe she actually has a grudge against me.

Always stealing her wine? So angry that she hides on purpose? Could you please help me analyze it, which one is the most likely?"
