Chapter 40: The Race Begins
In the next two days, Ning Bufan recuperated in the tent, and although his previous day and night cultivation greatly increased his cultivation, he also consumed a lot of energy.
For the next family competition, he must be in the best condition.
At the same time, Xianghu and the others continued to report the matter, making Ning Bufan make a decision one by one.
It didn't take long for Ning Bufan to become a little impatient, he had only turned over the girl's sign before, where had he turned over so many report letters?
He couldn't stay here for too long anyway, and he couldn't stand these trivial matters, so he simply worked with Xianghu and others to officially change the now growing Tiger Mercenary Group into the General Regiment, and there were sixteen sub-regiments below, and those big and small things were handed over to them to deal with separately.
Among them, the elephant tiger is naturally the head of the group, and there are Hua Tian, Wang Teng, Meng Tu, Lu Ying and other masters as the head of the sub-group, and the current Tiger mercenary group alone has six masters of the nine veins of the Void Spirit Realm, and there are even seventeen masters of the eight veins.
With such strength, looking at hundreds of miles, it is impossible for a mercenary group to compete with it.
However, Xianghu did not dare to take it lightly, although the mercenary groups under the Qi and Ji clans were temporarily defeated, as long as they had money, there were many masters who were willing to work for them, and they could form a stronger mercenary group at any time.
Elephant Tiger has gone through the previous failure, shame and courage, and he has been cultivating non-stop during this time, his breath is surging, and there are faint signs of breakthrough.
Another day passed, and there was only one day left before the clan, Ning Bufan saw that everything was arranged, and he was relieved and ready to leave at the moment.
But just as he was about to leave, Xianghu suddenly entered the tent and reported to him.
"Young Patriarch, we found a map on Simon's body, and recently I sent someone to search it, and it seems that I have found an extremely secret mine. ”
"Oh, is there anything strange?" Ning Bufan asked lightly.
"This mine is very dangerous, and there are many powerful spirit beasts around, as if there are five grades. According to my detection, there may be spirit-level ores in it. Xianghu couldn't hide his excitement and said.
Ning Bufan's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he was very surprised.
Let's start with these five-grade spirit beasts, which are at least equivalent to the masters of the four qi of the human True Yuan Realm. That's it, that spirit-level ore is even rarer, and it is an indispensable material for forging spiritual weapons.
A spiritual weapon, that's priceless. Looking at the entire Wuyang City, I'm afraid I can't find it.
Anyway, as far as Ning Bufan knows, there is definitely no one in the Ning clan.
However, with the current strength of the Tiger Mercenary Group, it is not enough to take this mine, even if Ning Bufan is added.
It seems that we can only find out the situation for the time being, and when the strength is enough, we will find out again.
The most important thing now is to win the clan ratio. Ning Bufan thought of the secret letter he had found on Qi Wen's body before, and his heart suddenly sank.
Clanby's victory was crucial, but this time he went back, and it was a different matter. It made him not want to stay any longer.
He had to do it!
........................
Just when Ning Bufan was hurrying back, the Ning clan had already become extremely lively, with people coming and going, rubbing shoulders, and almost squeezing the Ning Mansion to the ground.
This time, in the Ning Mansion, in addition to the clan elders, stewards, and young disciples, there were other people from the clan who came from various places.
They are usually in charge of the Ning people's industry in various places, and they can't come back several times a year. But they will definitely not miss such a big event as the clan ratio. Although the prosperity of the Ning clan is inseparable from money and business, in the minds of everyone, it is those top clan powerhouses who can support a clan.
In this clan competition, the rewards are extremely rich, as long as you can make some achievements, you can get the Dharma and elixir in the family, and even those who are lucky can even directly get the guidance of the second elder, which is almost a great blessing for many people of the clan.
However, the most exciting thing in the clan comparison was a news that the Council of Elders had only announced a few days ago.
That is the final winner of this clan competition, and will become the new young patriarch of the Ning clan!
Ning Bufan didn't know this news yet, but even if he knew, he wouldn't be surprised.
Because Ning Bufan only knew what he did before eating, drinking, and having fun, coupled with his wasteful performance in cultivation, the Ning Clan Elders would be extremely disappointed in him.
Although it was difficult to remove him for a while due to the identity of the old patriarch and Ning Bufan's father, that kind of dissatisfaction was still brewing in the hearts of all the clansmen.
Recently, the Qi clan and the Ji clan have become more and more brazen to deal with the Ning clan, and finally the elders have made up their minds that the strongest person in the younger generation of the clan must be appointed as the young patriarch, and then find a suitable opportunity to be promoted to the patriarch.
Only in this way can the people really feel confidence and let the Ning people prosper again.
This time, it is recognized that there are three people who are most likely to get the position of this young patriarch. They are Ning Dan, the grandson of the Great Elder, Ning Qingqing, the daughter of the Second Elder, and Ning Meng, the son of the Third Elder.
Ning Dan and Ning Meng are the strongest in the clan and have a high prestige, while the other has the best talent and a bright future. They are all the best candidates in the hearts of the people. And although Ning Qingqing is a woman, she is usually very low-key, coupled with the teachings of her father's second elder, some people also speculate that Ning Qingqing is actually the most likely of the three to ascend to the position of young patriarch.
As for the former young patriarch Ning Bufan, he had already been thrown out of the clouds by the clansmen.
In addition to the Ning people, there were also many big forces in Wuyang City who sent people to observe. Although because of the relationship between the Qi clan and the Ji clan, the patriarchs of these big forces did not dare to come directly, but most of them sent their descendants in large numbers.
They also want to see how strong the younger generation of the Ning clan is, which will also directly affect their future position.
At this moment, in the square within the Ning clan, many people were already seated and talking to each other.
In the center of the square, there sat an old man with gray hair, in good spirits, looking ahead with sharp eyes, smiling and signaling to familiar people from time to time.
He was naturally one of the de facto rulers of the Ning Clan now, the Great Elder. He is also the number one master of the Ning clan, and the cultivation of the Xuan Mind Realm is also a top strength in Wuyang City.
If it weren't for his existence, the Ning clan would have declined long ago.
The Great Elder was sitting in the center at the moment, scanning a circle of clansmen, and suddenly thought of that figure, and sighed slightly.
"Hey, could it be that I'm really dizzy and misunderstood? He has improved his cultivation so much in such a short period of time, and it seems that he has never given up. It's just that...... This most important clan has disappeared. ”
The person in his mouth is naturally Ning Bufan.
After Ning Bufan showed his strength some time ago, the Great Elder thought that he had inherited his father's talent, and the revitalization of the Ning clan was hopeful. But soon, Ning Bufan was the same as before, running every day without a figure, which made him quite disappointed.
In this way, even if the Great Elder wanted to find some excuses to retain Ning Bufan's position as the young patriarch, I am afraid it would be impossible.
On either side of the Great Elder were the Second Elder of Chuangong and the Third Elder of Law Enforcement, both of whom were the highest decision-making level of the Ning Clan. Below are the members of the Presbyterian Church, who are faintly divided into several factions, each with someone to support.
In addition to them, there was an old man sitting in the center, with cloudy eyes and a great age. Among the people present, there were not many people who knew him, but there were still some people with relatively old qualifications who could see that this old man was the Hong Lao of the Ning clan, and his strength was so high that he should not be underestimated.
Hong Lao generally doesn't care about things in the clan, but he will still show his face when the clan is more important than this.
At the front of the square, there is a group of young and strong people standing at this moment, in addition to Ning Dan, Ning Qingqing and Ning Meng, there are also many children of the divided family, they also cultivate weekdays, and if they want to get a good result this time, even if they don't have a chance with the position of the young patriarch, they can get a lot of benefits.
After everyone was seated, the Grand Elder and the others from the Council of Elders deliberated for a while and nodded.
In the eyes of everyone, the second elder walked to the center and said with a loud smile: "Today is the clan of our Ning clan, thank you for coming to cheer." I'm sorry for making you wait so long, so I won't talk nonsense. ”
"To briefly introduce it, the rules of the clan are very simple, this square is the ring today, and if you want to win the final victory, there is only one way, that is, to get into the ring and defeat everyone who comes to challenge. ”
"As long as the children of the Ning clan are under the age of twenty-five, they are eligible to participate! There are five rings in total, and people in the audience can come up to challenge at any time, and people in the stage can also choose opponents under the stage. ”
"Five rings will finally determine the five winners, and then challenge each other!"
"Whoever stands in the end and no one dares to challenge is the ultimate winner!"
"For every person you win, you can get a elixir. If you win two people, you can get one elixir and one method, and so on. As for the eventual winner......"
When the second elder said this, he suddenly paused, and subconsciously glanced at it, but he didn't find Ning Bufan's figure.
"The final winner is the young patriarch of our Ning clan!"
As soon as the words fell, the square suddenly exploded, and the noise was incomparable.
Naturally, the young disciples in those clans knew about the young patriarch for a long time, but they also knew that it was too illusory. They care about the rewards, as long as they defeat one person, they can get rare elixir, which is an extremely rare thing to encounter in ordinary times.
The rest of the people outside the clan were shocked by the second elder's last words, and many people exchanged heads and talked about it.
"It seems that the Ning clan is also determined to confront the Qi clan and the Ji clan this time, and they chose the young patriarch for this. ”
"Didn't they have a young patriarch before?"
"You said that waste? I guess it's still lying in the arms of *** girl, right? I heard that the Ning clan had wanted to remove him for a long time, and today I finally made up my mind. ”
"Hey, you said that when that waste comes back, you suddenly find that you are nothing, isn't it funny?"
"Forget it, don't mention this kind of person, let's hurry up and watch the clan comparison. ”
