Random Recommendation: Ning Family Estate.

Ning Xiangguo, Ning Xiangqian, and others gathered at Ning Houjun’s residence.

They reported Ning Zhuo’s actions, from beginning to end, to Ning Houjun.

“I thought that intervening in the Black Market this time would definitely involve combat. I didn’t expect that the most intense action in the entire process was breaking down the gate of the Monkey Head Gang.”

“Looking back, the entire operation was within Ning Zhuo’s plan.”

“Is he really only sixteen years old? Remarkable!”

“Don’t treat him like an ordinary academy graduate. Don’t forget, he is someone with talent.”

“Even with talent, compared to Ning Xiaohui and Ning Qingqiao, Ning Zhuo is still very special. I think you all understand what I’m saying.”

“Perhaps… it’s related to his innate gifts? His talent is related to his mind, so his mind is very sharp.”

“According to the Modification Team, after Ning Zhuo’s soul entered the Immortal Palace, his puppet body had a considerably large head.”

“In reality, I also think his head is quite large.”

Ning Houjun chuckled and waved his hand, saying, “Alright, alright, Ning Zhuo intervened in the Black Market and took control of the entire situation overnight. The operation was very successful.”

“What are your plans for the future?”

The room fell silent.

Then, Ning Xiangguo said, “Ning Zhuo has recruited us, offering quite high compensation. In the future, we will wear masks and serve as patrol officers and enforcers in the Black Market.”

“Before the main branch re-employs us, what else can we do?”

Ning Houjun nodded: “In that case, do your jobs well.”

“Ning Zhuo’s prospects, I believe, after this battle, everyone has seen, seen clearly.”

“His biggest weakness is that he is too young, his cultivation is only at the third level of Qi Refining, but that is also his biggest advantage!”

“How old is he! Only sixteen years old!”

Ning Houjun’s exclamation resonated with many Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After Ning Xiangguo, Ning Xiangqian, and others left, Ning Houjun went to the backyard and met Ning Youfu.

The two former Clan Elders were sitting in the pavilion in the backyard, continuing the chess game that had been interrupted by the former stewards’ visit.

The two played chess and discussed Ning Zhuo.

“I still underestimated this Ning Zhuo; his ability exceeds my imagination.”

Ning Houjun sighed, “Yes, it’s been a long time since our branch has had such an outstanding junior.”

Ning Youfu greatly agreed.

Ning Houjun stared at the chessboard: “Even in the main branch, there are rarely talents like Ning Zhuo.”

Ning Youfu looked at Ning Houjun meaningfully: “This young man knows the Black Market a little too well. I’m afraid someone is guiding him from behind.”

Ning Houjun was surprised: “Why not his mother?”

Ning Youfu pointed at Ning Houjun and laughed: “You’re the one who struck first, throwing the blame back on me!”

Ning Houjun shook his head: “Don’t be ridiculous.”

Ning Youfu also shook his head: “You were the one being ridiculous with me.”

The two glared at each other.

After a few breaths, Ning Houjun frowned: “Regardless of whether you guided him or not, the current situation is indeed good. At least the branch family members have a little place to survive now.”

“Yes!” Ning Youfu smiled: “Now it’s the main branch’s turn to be in trouble.”

The Ning Family Head looked at the information in his hand, reading it twice, still not daring to believe it: “Is this information accurate?”

“Ning Zhuo, he alone led my Ning family’s Foundation Establishment cultivators and pacified the Black Market?”

The subordinate gave a definite answer and made some corrections: “Clan Head, our Ning family did not officially take action. The real fighters were the Monkey Head Gang; they suffered heavy casualties.”

The Ning Family Head had a gloomy expression.

Just the day before, the Ning Family’s main branch had just dismissed several branch stewards and rewarded Ning Zhuo heavily. As a result, the situation had completely changed after a day and a night.

“Ning Zhuo controls the Black Market, so he has a basic base to support many subordinates.”

“He actually did this.”

“Is there someone behind him guiding him?”

What is gaining momentum?

This is gaining momentum!

Ning Zhuo acted decisively, using thunderous means to break through the predicament and create a situation favorable to him.

He officially possessed a force.

“Things have become quite troublesome! If we continue to dismiss stewards, it will only send talents to Ning Zhuo!”

The Ning Family Head felt a little suffocated.

This was originally a means to pressure the branch family, but Ning Zhuo broke the stalemate.

Ultimately, it was because Ning Zhuo discovered the opportunity in the Black Market and seized it.

Didn’t the Ning Family Head discover it?

Not really.

The Black Market is the power buffer zone for the four major forces. After Sun Lingtong was wanted, the Ning Family Head closely monitored it.

It’s just that this kind of thing, if other members of the Ning family did it, it wouldn’t work.

Only Ning Zhuo’s actions had such a possibility.

“Will the Zhou and Zheng families take action?”

“Will the City Lord’s Mansion expel Ning Zhuo?”

“His intervention in the Black Market has broken the tacit understanding of the four forces.”

The Ning Family Head was waiting for others to take action!

The Zhou Family!

“This Ning Zhuo is very interesting!”

The Zhou Family Head smiled slightly, “Go and summon Zhou Zeshen.”

When Zhou Zeshen met the Zhou Family Head, the Zhou Family Head handed him the relevant information to read.

“Ning Zhuo?”

“He actually accomplished such a thing; remarkable!”

Zhou Zeshen praised.

The Zhou Family Head said, “The conflict between Ning Zhuo and the Ning Family’s main branch is irreconcilable. Not long ago, he just dethroned the Ning Family’s young clan head, and now he controls the Black Market.”

“According to this trend, the Ning family may stage a second civil war!”

“Back then, the internal strife stirred up by the Ning family’s branch’s attempt to subvert the main branch shocked the Zhou and Zheng families!”

Zhou Zeshen nodded: “I greatly underestimated this person.”

“He can intervene in the Black Market overnight; even if someone is scheming behind the scenes, he is by no means an ordinary person.”

The Zhou Family Head said: “However, he is still a little too young.”

“What is your relationship with him?”

Zhou Zeshen said: “Our friendship could be better.”

“Hahaha.”

The Zhou Family Head laughed, “Pay attention to wining over Ning Zhuo in the future. Last time, Zheng Jian and him jointly refined the mechanical ape. Zheng Jian took out a fortune, even using Golden Core-level materials.”

“The Zhou family is not lacking in these things!”

“I give you this authority to have a good relationship with Ning Zhuo.”
“Yes, this junior will certainly do my utmost and live up to the Clan Leader’s expectations!”

Zhou Ze retreated.

Within the Ning household.

Ning Ze took the information from the night market and presented it to Wang Lan.

“How is it? Was I right?”

“Absolutely extraordinary! In a single night, he became the Lord of the Black Market!”

Wang Lan opened her mouth wide, unable to close it for a long time.

It took her a good while to accept this fact, her feelings quite complex. “My dear, your judgment is more accurate than mine!”

“But can such a thing really be accomplished by Xiao Zhuo?”

Ning Ze nodded slightly. “Even if someone is guiding him from behind, he is still the one who became the master of the Black Market.”

“Have Ji’er closely follow Xiao Zhuo and find some work to do in the Black Market.”

“They are cousins; this bond should be carefully nurtured. When we grow old, Xiao Zhuo will be Ji’er’s greatest support!”

“He’s only sixteen years old!”

“It’s hard to imagine how much he will achieve in the future.”

“Judging solely by his talent, the worst he could be is a Clan Elder!”

“In fact, look, he already controls the Black Market, possessing real power. What difference is there between him and a Clan Elder?”

Ning Zhuo continued his cultivation.

He took out the Ice Jade Wine.

The Ice Jade Wine had an icy blue hue, crystal clear, like morning frost shimmering in the sunlight.

Ning Zhuo gently swirled the wine glass.

In the cold jade-carved glass, the wine was like liquid sapphire, with a faint silver halo swirling on the surface, instantly giving one a sense of coolness.

The aroma of the wine was unique, fresh and elegant, with a distinctive icy breath.

Ning Zhuo brought the glass to his nose, carefully savoring the scent.

In an instant, he felt as if he were in the snowy plains of the north.

And then, from the icy cold, he sensed faint floral and herbaceous fragrances, feeling quite refreshed.

Ning Zhuo first took a sip.

The first sensation was an extreme coolness, as if a clear spring flowed across his tongue.

This coolness rapidly spread throughout his body with the flow of the wine, taking away all the heat and fatigue.

The wine was smooth and mellow, melting in his mouth like snow, leaving a trace of sweetness.

The Ice Jade Wine had a full body, a mellow taste, without any spiciness, but with a hint of sweetness and a refreshing aftertaste.

Ning Zhuo couldn’t help but close his eyes, immersing himself in it.

After a long time!

He opened his eyes and exclaimed, “Fine wine indeed!”

The effects of the wine gradually began to manifest. Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged on a futon and began to breathe deeply.

Unlike previous cultivations, this time, a magnificent light burst forth from his Divine Sea Upper Dantian, like a waterfall cascading down, directly irrigating the Middle Dantian Qi Sea.

Clouds billowed in the Qi Sea, and the Qi waves rolled, causing the Five Elements magic power to surge wildly.

The Ice Jade Wine allowed Ning Zhuo to use his Divine Sea cultivation to boost his Qi Sea cultivation.

In a short incense stick of time, the effects of the Ice Jade Wine were exhausted.

Ning Zhuo’s Qi Sea cultivation experienced a terrifying surge, directly reaching the peak of the sixth level, on par with his Divine Sea cultivation.

“Worthy of being called Ice Jade Wine.”

“And the Ice Heart Jade Kettle is indeed a treasure of my Ning family.”

“It seems that with the sixth-level peak magic power cultivation, I can already push open the door to the second Dao Gate.”

Ning Zhuo didn’t have too many expectations for this.

Based on his understanding of the Lava Immortal Palace, the difficulty of the second Dao Gate should be similar to that of the second Buddhist Gate.

“Last time I took the Buddhist path, although I failed to pass the level, I also explored the difficulty of the levels.”

“To pass the Buddhist Gate, I still have to collect as many rewards as possible from the first Buddhist Gate and increase my strength before I have a greater chance of succeeding.”

“The Dao Gate side is probably arranged in the same way!”

“Unless a coffin room like the first Buddhist Gate appears!”

Ning Zhuo pondered secretly.

The possibility of a coffin room appearing was small. Ning Zhuo still needed to push the door to verify it once.

What if?

Through his own unremitting efforts, Ning Zhuo’s status was no longer what it used to be.

He no longer needed to wait for Ning Xiaohuo or others to invite him to team up.

He could completely organize members with himself as the center and carry out an exploration of the Lava Immortal Palace.
