As he watched the two Yudao Saint Emperors who were chasing him flee in disbelief, Qi XIII Xing looked at Ning Cheng with some disbelief, “Ning Cheng, how did you become so powerful? To be able to burn down a Yudao Saint Emperor’s magic treasure, break a Yudao Saint Emperor’s divine ability, and even scare off two Yudao Saint Emperors? And when did you become a Dan Saint?”
When Ning Cheng saw that Qi XIII Xing did not even know about these, it was clear that Qi XIII Xing had not been exposed to the people and things outside before at all. Otherwise, his huge Dao Yuan Dan Saint name would have reached Qi XIII Xing’s ears a long time ago.
“Thirteen, let’s talk about these later. I’d like to ask you, where did you go after you came out of the Tai Su Secret Realm? I was expecting some help from your old man when I participated in the Great Tai Su Competition, but who knew that you didn’t show up, causing me to almost get killed by that old thing from Barbarian Huishan.” Ning Cheng had some suspicions that something had happened to Qi XIII Xing’s old man, otherwise it would be impossible for the Xuan Yue Divine Sect to just change their Patriarch.
Qi Thirteen Stars’ face suddenly turned ugly as he gritted his teeth and said, “I had just come out and was sent to a place for retreat by my old mother, telling me that I had to shape my dao before I could come out of retreat. In fact, I couldn’t open that place even without shaping my dao. I told them that I was going to see you in the Great Tai Su Competition. As a result, my old man said that he would help me go to cheer you on.”
Ning Cheng was even more suspicious in his heart that Qi XIII Xing’s old dad had not gone to cheer for him during his Great Tai Su Competition. If Qi Thirteen Stars’ old dad had really gone, he wouldn’t have taken ten bottles of Empty City Transmutation Awareness Pill to the Star Treading House Master, nor would he have been chased around by the Barbarian Society Mountain. With a man of Qi XIII Xing’s father’s status, it was absolutely impossible for him to lie to Qi XIII Xing. The only possibility was what he guessed, that something had happened to Qi Changgui.
“I also knew that I had delayed too long in the Tai Su Secret Realm, so I didn’t resist and decided to come out again after shaping my dao. As a result, before I had finished shaping my dao, the place where I had been secluded was forcibly opened by my sister.”
Qi XIII Xing’s tone trembled a little in anger as she spoke. “My sister told me to not return to the clan after shaping my dao and to go directly to the Tai Su Ruins to search for the Great Divine Ability Tai Su Divine Thunder. When I have witnessed the Dao Yuan, I will come back to avenge my father and mother.”
“What is going on?” Ning Cheng asked in a gruff tone.
Qi XIII Xing took a breath. Just as he was about to speak, a swift shadow rushed out from the depths of the Tai Su Ruins, this shadow swept past Ning Cheng and Qi XIII Xing for a few breaths before reversing back again and then landing beside Ning Cheng.
Qi Thirteen Stars, who was about to continue speaking, stopped his words at the sight of someone coming over.
“Fellow Daoist Liu, I was planning to go to the Tai Su Market and wait for you for a few days ……,” Ning Cheng immediately recognized this returning person as Liu Fanglin. Ning Cheng only said half of his words before he stopped. He saw that Liu Fanglin had been injured again. It seemed that every time he saw Liu Fanglin, Liu Fanglin was always injured.
I should say that this time, Liu Fanglin was not injured, but poisoned. If it was before, Ning Cheng was not quite sure what kind of poison Liu Fanglin was suffering from. After obtaining a Bone Ripple Flower, now Ning Cheng could be certain that what Liu Fanglin had been poisoned with was the Bone Ripple Poison.
Liu Fanglin had gone to look for the Bone Tattoo Poison, how come she had now been poisoned by it herself instead?
Liu Fanglin’s cultivation level should be far inferior to that skeleton man from the Void Star Sect, and that skeleton man was able to suppress the poisoning without any poisonous aura spilling out of his body. And the way Liu Fanglin looked, even someone who didn’t know any better could tell. She was very deeply poisoned.
“Brother Ning, I reckoned you should have come out, I didn’t expect to see you here ……” Liu Fanglin’s words were somewhat hurried. It was obvious that she herself knew her condition.
“Wait ……” Ning Cheng stopped Liu Fanglin, “Did Wei Jing Bing come out after you?”
Liu Fanglin nodded, “Yes, I poisoned him, I just didn’t expect him to have a powerful divine ability that caused me to suffer a backlash as well ……”
“You again?” As Liu Fanglin’s words fell, Azure Jing Bing rushed out from the depths of the Tai Su Ruins and landed not far away, staring at Ning Cheng and Liu Fanglin with a face full of hostility.
He quickly saw Qi XIII Star. He said with a startled expression, “Qi Thirteen Stars? You’re still alive?”
Qi Thirteen Stars’ murderous aura rose up all over his body. “You dog, Wei Jing Bing, a family of animals in your Wei family. My sister got lucky and survived. If anything happens to my sister, I will make it so that not even an ant of the Azure family can live.”
Ning Cheng saw that Azure Jing Bing had indeed been poisoned, and it was also the striated bone poison.
Azure Jing Bing ignored Qi XIII Xing’s angry scolding and only stared at Ning Cheng with a cold snort as he directly sacrificed his flying magic treasure and quickly disappeared.
He had seen Ning Cheng’s strength with his own eyes, and he had also fought hard with Ning Cheng. Not to mention that he had been poisoned by the striated bone poison and his cultivation would soon be corroded away, even if he had not been poisoned, he was still no match for Ning Cheng.
Liu Fanglin did not know Qi XIII Xing, nor did she know why Qi XIII Xing had a grudge against the Azure Family. Only when she saw that Azure Jing Bing had walked away did she say to Ning Cheng, “Brother Ning, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to live much longer. After my husband’s fall, I don’t have any real friends either. If there is anyone else that I can trust, it is only you, I would like to ask you to help me with one thing ……”
Ning Cheng raised his hand to stop Liu Fanglin from continuing, “Fellow Daoist Liu, for the time being, don’t talk about matters of life and death. You should first follow me to Tai Su Hui Square and find a resting inn to stay in. At that time, I might be able to help you with the poison.”
“You can cure the striated bone poison?” Liu Fanglin subconsciously exclaimed in shock, then she reacted and bowed to Ning Cheng and said, “Brother Ning, thank you for your kindness. There is no way in the world to cure the Striated Bone Poison other than the Renewing Sky Striated Bone Pill.”
After saying that, she seemed to be afraid that Ning Cheng would not understand and explained one more thing, “Not to mention the preciousness of the Herbs of the Renewing Heavenly Bone Ripple Pill, it is simply impossible to obtain. Even if one were to obtain the pill ingredients for the Heaven Renewal Bone Pill, it would still be useless. The reason for this is that the Heaven Renewal Bone Pill is a Dao of Transformation Dao Pill, and it is one of the most difficult Dao of Transformation Dao Pills in the world to refine. I’m afraid that even a Dao of Transformation Dao Saint would not be able to refine the Renewing Heavenly Bone Pill.”
Ning Cheng was silent for a moment and said, “I dare not guarantee that I can definitely help you to remove the Bone Tattoo Poison, if you trust me, then come and stay with me at the Tai Su Hui Rest Inn and wait for a while. If you don’t believe me, then please tell me what you need my help with, as long as I am able to do so, I will definitely help you with it.”
The reason why Ning Cheng said that he wanted Liu Fanglin to wait for some time at the Tai Su Market was because he was certain that as long as he showed up, the Void Star Sect’s Patriarch would definitely be the first to find him and ask for his help in refining the Continuing Sky Ripple Bone Pill. As long as the Void Star Sect’s Patriarch sought him out to refine the pill, then Liu Fanglin’s striated bone poison would be saved.
It was just that Liu Fanglin had some little trust in him, because last time in the Pill Valley, he said that he would help Liu Fanglin to check her body. It had made Liu Fanglin suspicious of him in her heart. If he insisted that Liu Fanglin wait with him, it would probably backfire. Besides, everyone’s fate is tied to their own decisions, and if Liu Fanglin must leave Tai Su Hui Square. Then he could only wish her good luck and help her fulfil her last wish at the same time.
Liu Fanglin did not expect that after she had said that the Continuing Sky Bone Pill was so difficult to refine. Ning Cheng still said that he had the chance to help her with the poison. If this were any other person, I was afraid that they would have to suspect Ning Cheng’s motives.
She looked into Ning Cheng’s eyes for a while before she took a breath and said, “Alright, I will wait with you for ten days. I can only suppress the Bone Tattoo Poison for another month or so at most, if it can’t be removed in ten days, I can’t wait any longer, I have to leave some time to do what I want to do.”
It was not that she believed that Ning Cheng could cure her Bone Tattoo Poison. Rather, it was that she really wanted Ning Cheng to help her with one thing. If she were to reject Ning Cheng’s requests one after another, then I was afraid that even if Ning Cheng did something for her, he would not be dedicated to it.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “If it can be lifted, then there is no need to wait for ten days, if it cannot be lifted, even waiting for ten years would be useless.”
If the Void Star Sect could find the Tai Su Hui Square, it wouldn’t take ten days at all. After ten days, if the Void Star Sect’s people hadn’t found them, then it meant that the Void Star Sect’s patriarch had found someone else to refine the pills.
Liu Fanglin seemed to let out a long breath for not rejecting Ning Cheng again. After listening to Ning Cheng’s words, she suddenly said again, “If you have really lifted the poison from my body. I am willing to let you examine my body.”
Ning Cheng was a bit speechless, talking about helping her check her body as if it was a benefit, I am helping you, not asking for a benefit. But then again, helping Liu Fanglin check her body really seemed to be a benefit.
Ning Cheng rubbed his chin, not knowing how to reply to Liu Fanglin’s words, should he reply well or reply I am helping you and really not asking for welfare.
Qi XIII Xing walked by. Patting Ning Cheng on the shoulder, “Ning Cheng. You’re awesome. Sister Liu is the most attractive woman I’ve ever seen, congratulations.”
At this moment. He seemed to have forgotten that he had just been chased as if he had lost his family.
“Don’t talk nonsense, Fellow Daoist Liu and I are in a mutually helpful relationship. Thirteen, let’s go to the Tai Su Market Square first, and we’ll talk about everything else when we get to the Rest Inn.” Ning Cheng hurriedly stopped Qi XIII from talking nonsense.
Qi Thirteen Stars remembered the matter of his own family and immediately lost all thoughts of joking with Ning Cheng as his face sank again.
……
Divine Thunder Tower, the number one resting inn in Tai Su Market.
Ning Cheng proposed that the three of them stay in a large room, and Liu Fanglin unexpectedly did not raise any objections. No matter what Ning Cheng had in mind, it had no effect on her. There were seven or eight smaller rooms inside the one large room of the Divine Thunder Tower. Everyone had one room each, and as long as Ning Cheng did not go to her room, it did not matter in any way.
Ning Cheng naturally would not go to Liu Fanglin’s room, and as soon as he entered the Rest Inn, he chatted with Qi XIII Xing for most of the day.
Qi XIII Xing’s father had been assassinated by Grand Elder Fei Feng while he was in seclusion, the reason being for a very mysterious magic treasure. Qi XIII Xing’s mother was seriously injured in order to save Qi Changgui.
Despite her serious injuries, Qi XIII Xing’s mother forced herself to escape with Qi Yuling. At the same time, she told Qi Yuling everything and gave Qi Yuling a jade slip, telling Qi Yuling to instruct Qi XIII Xing never to return to the clan. He also asked Qi Thirteen Stars to follow the address on the jade slip and go in search of the Tai Su divine Lightning, a great divine ability famous in the Tai Su Realm.
Qi Yuling, however, did not go to her brother Qi XIII Xing first, but instead went to the Azure Family of Warbin Cliff, where she was going to look for Azure Hyuk. As a result, she had not even reached the Warbin Cliff Azure Family when she happened to hear on her way that the Azure Family was supporting Fei Feng and preparing to take down both her siblings.
“What about your sister?” Ning Cheng hastily asked, as Qi XIII Xing was being chased by two Nurtured Dao Saint Emperors, Qi Yuling would definitely not be treated any better.
“She said she was going to another place, telling me not to worry and to just cultivate myself. I still waited until the Shaping Dao before I came out, and when I came out I was ready to go to the Tai Su Market, but I ended up being chased by two guys.” Qi XIII Xing said this with his mouth, and the worry in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
Ning Cheng sighed and briefly described his experience as well. Just as the two were about to end their conversation, Liu Fanglin’s voice came from outside the door, “Brother Ning, the people from the Azure Family are here and are now blocking the outside of our room.”
