While Ning Yue was refining the Soul Solidifying Pill, the Ning family's meeting hall was extremely quiet.
A middle-aged man sat at the head of the table. Below him, a group of experts from the Ning family stood on both sides.
Sensing the powerful pressure emanating from the man at the head of the table, the experts from the Ning family did not even dare to breathe loudly as they sat quietly in their chairs.
"Cough, cough!"
The silence did not last long before it was broken by the middle-aged man at the head of the table.
He coughed dryly and stood up. His gaze swept across the crowd as he said in a deep voice, "Originally, I wanted to deal with the other three families after I solved my own problems. I did not expect them to be the first to launch an attack and deal a heavy blow to the Ning family!"
"As the Master of the Ning family, I did not step forward to tide over the difficulties with everyone during the family's most difficult time. I am not qualified to be the Master of the Ning family!"
Retracting his aura, Ning Hai continued, "Therefore, I have decided that from today onwards, I will abdicate the position of the Master of the Ning family and give it to the Great Elder, Ning Tang!"
Ning Hai's words caused the meeting hall to once again become terrifyingly quiet.
No one had expected that the first thing Ning Hai did upon his return would be to abdicate. This was completely out of their expectations.
After all, the aura that Ning Hai had emitted earlier made their hearts palpitate.
That aura had most likely reached the pinnacle of the True Martial Realm.
Whoosh!
A moment later, the crowd was in a heated discussion.
Ning Tang's expression changed slightly as he hurriedly said, "Master, you must not. Although you did not return when the family was in danger, Ning Yue single-handedly supported the Ning family and killed Lin Jingtian and the others!"
"That's right, Master. The reason why the Ning family was able to survive this disaster and control Tianxuan City is all thanks to Ning Yue."
"Master, you don't have to blame yourself. We all know that you had to leave Tianxuan City because of something."
"The other three families were despicable and shameless. They took advantage of your absence to attack the Ning family. You couldn't do anything about it."
Waving his hand, Ning Hai said, "You don't have to say anymore. I have already made up my mind. I will not change it."
"Also, I will only stay in Tianxuan City for three days this time. After three days, I will leave Tianxuan City."
Ning Hai continued, "Once I leave, I don't know when I can return. Therefore, the position of family head will be assumed by Ning Tang! Who's not convinced? "
"Patriarch, sigh …" Ning Tang opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Of all the people present, perhaps only he knew Ning Hai's plan. He knew the most about the earth-shattering battle eighteen years ago.
Now that Ning Hai had made this decision, he should be happy for Ning Hai, but he couldn't feel happy at all.
After all, Ninghai was about to face an extremely huge force.
"Alright, all of you can leave. Ning Tang, stay behind," Ning Hai said indifferently as he sat on a chair.
After everyone left, Ning Tang said hesitantly, "Patriarch, is it worth it for you to do this?"
"I have waited for this moment for eighteen years. As long as I have a clear conscience, there is nothing worth it." Taking a deep breath, Ning Hai said, "After I leave, the Ning family will be handed over to you. I don't expect you to lead the Ning family to glory, but I also don't want the Ning family to completely decline in your hands."
"Patriarch, don't worry. As long as I am here, the Ning family will not fall!" Ning Tang patted his chest and guaranteed.
"Tell me about what happened during this period of time," Ning Hai said.
"Patriarch, not long after you left, the Lin family took the lead and launched a strong attack on the Ning family."
Sorting out his thoughts, Ning Tang began to speak slowly.
Very quickly, Ning Tang told Ning Hai everything that happened in the past few days from beginning to end.
"Phew!"
After listening to Ning Tang's redundant narration, Ning Hai let out a long sigh, his eyes flashing.
"You mean, Yue 'er is now refining the Soul Solidifying Pill?" Suppressing the joy in his heart, Ning Hai asked.
"That's right, Ning Yue asked me to buy 50 sets of medicinal materials needed to refine the Soul Condensing Pill. He should be refining the Soul Condensing Pill now." Ning Tang said, "Also, the Old Patriarch's injury was also cured by him."
"Regarding Yue 'er refining the pill and curing the Patriarch, keep it a secret. Don't let anyone know!"
With a gloomy face, Ning Hai said in a deep voice, "I will go see the Patriarch now. After Yue 'er is done refining the pill, let him see me in the secret chamber."
In the next moment, Ning Hai moved his feet and instantly left the meeting hall.
"Swoosh!"
Seeing Ning Hai disappear, Ning Tang was stunned on the spot.
Because Ning Hai disappeared so quickly that he didn't even have time to react.
In other words, if Ning Hai wanted to kill him, it would be effortless.
"Although my cultivation has just advanced to the late stage of the Xiantian Realm, it will be difficult for a martial artist at the peak of the True Martial Realm to instantly disappear under my eyes, unless it is a martial artist at the Yuan Dan Realm!" Eyes burning, Ning Tang forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart and turned to leave the meeting hall.
"Kacha! Kacha! Kacha! "
In Ning Yue's room, as the high-grade Yuan Crystals continued to shatter, Soul Solidifying Pills flew out one after another.
"Forty-ninth pill!"
"Fiftieth pill!"
Placing the last two Soul Solidifying Pills into the jade bottle, Ning Yue let out a long sigh and sat on the floor.
"Not bad, not bad at all!"
Although he was exhausted and the Yuan Qi in his sea of consciousness was depleted, Ning Yue didn't feel the slightest bit depressed. Instead, he was extremely excited.
"Come out!"
A wisp of soul force gushed out from his body and wrapped around his wrist. With a flip of his palm, Ning Yue blasted out a palm print.
Weng weng!
The palm print dissipated in the air, leaving behind a shockwave.
"My soul force has reached the middle stage of the fourth grade. Even the power of the Netherworld Samsara Palm's third palm, the Dark Fiend, has increased by two levels."
Feeling the power of the Dark Fiend, Ning Yue was extremely satisfied.
He originally thought that after increasing his soul force to the middle stage of the fourth grade, the power of the Dark Fiend would only increase by one level. Now, it seemed that it had completely exceeded his expectations.
"Let's replenish the Yuan Qi in my sea of consciousness first." Although he was extremely weak, Ning Yue didn't rest. Instead, he took out a high-grade Yuan Crystal and began to absorb and refine it.
With his soul force reaching the middle stage of the fourth grade, Ning Yue's speed of absorbing Yuan Qi had also increased a lot. In less than three hours, he had filled all three cyclones with Yuan Qi.
As for the cyclones of wind, thunder and fire, the moment the Yuan Qi entered, it would be devoured by the wind, thunder and fire. It was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.
"Forget it. Now that I've recovered to my peak condition, it's time to give the high-grade Soul Solidifying Pills to the people from Snow Pavilion and Drunken Cloud House."
Originally, Ning Yue wanted to try to break through to the late stage of the Xiantian realm. However, since he had already refined the high-grade Soul Solidifying Pills, he might as well give them to the people from Snow Pavilion first.
After all, when the Ning family was in danger, they chose to stand with the Ning family and help the Ning family.
Naturally, Ning Yue wouldn't let them suffer a loss.
