“Then I’ll chime in.” Ning Cheng hastily clasped his fist and thanked him, he had already decided to go to Su’s Corner first and then go to Broken Maw Divine City from there.
Xu Yan was very welcoming and spoke in a measured manner, not even asking Ning Cheng why he had been injured or why he had crashed into the void airship.
Ning Cheng also learned that the girl in the yellow dress who had saved his life was the yellow-skirted maiden, who was also Xu Yan’s fiancée. The yellow-skirted maiden was called Su Shiqian, and represented Su’s Horn in business along the edge of the Tai Su Realm. The blue-skirted maiden was called Mo Yuan, and had been following Su Shiqian around. The middle-aged man who brought him back to the airship from outside the airship was called Zuo Zhong, at the early stage of the Yuk Dao, and the highest cultivation level on the airship.
In a place not very far from the outside of the Tai Su Realm, there was a not-so-small planet called Yisu Star. The Yisu Star was basically filled with primitive mountains and forests, and many cultivators in the Tai Su Realm searched for resources on the Yisu Star. Because of this, several very large star cities have formed on Yisu Star.
Many chambers of commerce and clans at the edge of the Tai Su Realm choose to go to Yishu Star to do business. Su’s Corner was one such small family, and it was easy for them to leave the Tai Su Realm and enter the Void, and again it was not very far to go to Yishu Star.
Su Shiqian was kind and many merchants on Yisu Star knew her, so it was always her who represented the family to do business on Yisu Star.
……
The airship pierced through the void and did not fly long into the Tai Su Realm range before it arrived at Su’s Corner.
Su’s Corner was similar to what Ning Cheng had imagined, being surrounded by mountains and water, so the environment was very good. It was just that the divine Spiritual Qi here was very average, and being at the edge of the Tai Su Realm, it was obviously not very peaceful either. Many Void Demon Beasts impacted the interface from the edge, and rarely did they tear through the void to enter from the central location.
The rules of the Tai Su Realm were shattered and the boundary protection prohibitions were very weak, not even having the most basic blocking effect.
Once a Void Demon Beast attacked. That Su’s Horn could only move forward to resist with its own defensive prohibitions.
The patriarch of the Su Clan’s Horn is none other than Su Shiqian’s grandfather, Su Ji’an, who, like Su Shiqian, is also a very kind person. He was also extremely warm. After knowing that Ning Cheng had been saved by his granddaughter on her way, he was even more enthusiastic towards Ning Cheng. Not only did he set out a multitude of divine spirit fruits. He also invited Ning Cheng to taste the famous dishes of Su’s Corner.
The dishes and drinks in the Tai Su Realm all contained powerful auras of divine Spirit Qi, and many cultivators were fond of going up to the restaurant and ordering a few dishes and a pot of wine, then taking their time to taste them. This way of improving one’s cultivation and enjoying oneself at the same time was very popular.
It was just that Ning Cheng rarely went to restaurants to eat these things after entering the Tai Su Market. One using this way to raise his divine essence was just a little too slow. The second was that Ning Cheng had been struggling with all sorts of dangers after entering the Tai Su Ruins, so where would he be in the mood to go to a restaurant to slowly savor these things.
This time, he felt the warmth and life-saving kindness of the Su family. This was the reason why he raised his glass to toast at the banquet.
If Su Shiqian had not saved him, perhaps he might not necessarily have fallen. But the chances of falling would definitely increase a lot, not to mention the various meteorites and whirlpools in the void, even if he met a powerful void demonic beast, it would still take him out in one bite, so Ning Cheng was truly grateful to Su Shiqian.
“Fellow Daoist Ning is at a young age and is at the late stage of Dao Shaping, his future achievements will definitely be limitless.” Su Ji’an lamented as he accepted Ning Cheng’s toast.
No wonder he was lamenting, he had been cultivating for so many years and was only at the late stage of Dao Shaping up to now.
Ning Cheng hurriedly said. “Senior Sister Shiqian’s cultivation is not weaker than mine, and her future achievements will not be lower than mine.”
Su Ji’an shook his head and picked up his cup of wine and drank it down in one go. Rather, he did not explain anything.
Ning Cheng could not continue talking about this, so he had to say, “I heard that the largest Sacred City in the Tai Su Domain is called the Tian Su Sacred City, where all kinds of heavenly treasures are concentrated and there are many people coming and going. That is, not to mention the Tiansu Holy City, there are many other places in the Tai Su Domain that have the same top-notch holy cities. Why doesn’t Su’s Corner go to these holy cities to do business, instead of leaving the Tai Su Realm to go to the Yi Su Star?”
This was indeed Ning Cheng’s doubt, and it was also something that Ning Cheng had intentionally asked. It was reasonable to say that his fame was not small. Even Su Ji’an of Su’s Corner had not heard of him, so the only possibility was that Su’s Corner and those prosperous areas of the Tai Su Domain did not intersect.
Su Ji’an sighed. “It’s not that we don’t want to go to those holy cities to do business, but we don’t have that qualification. Not to mention that we can’t afford to buy things from those holy cities. The things we take there, people can’t look at them either.”
Ning Cheng had some vague understanding in his heart, and just then, a household servant walked into the hall and bowed to Su Ji’an, “There is a woman begging to see the clan chief, saying that she has something to discuss and is very strong.”
“Quickly, please.” Su Ji’an said as he hurriedly stood up.
This made Ning Cheng somewhat understand Su Ji’an’s way of handling things, being kind to people at all times and going with the mindset of not offending people no matter what.
Su’s corner was indeed very weak, and Su Ji’an could not be faulted for this attitude.
Not long after, the house servant came in with a woman with a veil on her face.
The woman did not speak, her gaze swept through the hall for a moment, and then her gaze fell on Ning Cheng, “Huh, you’re here too?”
Ning Cheng stood up and cupped his fist to the woman, “Thank you for saving me, Senior Sister.”
Because the woman who came was called Ruo Shi, Ning Cheng happened to know her. When the two of them had joined forces to go to the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond, in the end, if it wasn’t for Ruo Shi, he, Yan Ji and Shui Yue Ke would have all fallen in the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond. However, the reason why Ruo Shi was able to leave the hall was also because of his presence.
Hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Su Shiqian and the others all looked at Ning Cheng with some surprise, how could Ning Cheng be saved by people everywhere?
Ruo Xie’s serious eyes had more than a hint of a smile as she waved her hand and said, “Your cultivation really shocked me, apart from one person, I haven’t thought of anyone who can have your kind of advancement to Dao-shaping. We were helping each other in the beginning, not who saved who. Today I am here to discuss matters with Clan Chief Su, could it be that you are also aiming for the same thing as me?”
“No, I want to go to the Tai Su Sea to have a look.” Ning Cheng had come here because he wanted to see if he could travel to the Tai Su Sea as fast as possible, and then go to the Dragon Washing Pond to cultivate for another half a year before the Five Realms Dan Competition.
Ruoxi smiled and did not continue talking to Ning Cheng, but only said to Su Ji’an, “I have some personal matters that I would like to trouble Clan Chief Su with. I wonder if the Clan Chief can have a chat alone?”
After saying that, she did not wait for Su Ji’an to refuse and directly took out a ring and placed it in front of Su Ji’an, “The things inside here will be taken as payment.”
Su Ji’an’s divine sense swept through the ring and his face immediately changed slightly as he hurriedly handed the ring to Ruoxi respectfully, “This fellow Daoist, I dare not accept these things.”
Ning Cheng knew that Ruo Xie’s cultivation level was very strong, and the things she took out must have scared Su Ji’an. After all, this matter had not even begun to be talked about, and to bring out scary things, it would be strange if the patriarch of a small family did not panic.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as Clan Chief Su is honest, whether it can help or not, I’ll give this item away as payment.” Ruo Xi did not take back the ring.
Worry was written all over Su Ji’an’s face as he placed his gaze of help on Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng understood Su Ji’an’s meaning, the patriarch of such a small clan indeed did not dare to accept things from others casually. I was afraid that the reason why Su’s Horn had survived here had something to do with Su Ji’an being kind to people at all times, and this cautiousness and care.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng said with a smile, ”There is no need to worry, Clan Chief Su, this senior sister is not someone who speaks presumptuously. How about this, I’ll be a guarantor.”
Ning Cheng and Ruo Shi had joined forces to go to the Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Pond, and he knew Ruo Shi’s temperament. He was still very principled and would not take out his anger on people for no reason.
Hearing Ning Cheng say this, Su Ji An could only put away the ring and said, “Then please ask this fellow Daoist and Fellow Daoist Ning to come with me to the inner chamber.”
Ning Cheng was the guarantor and knew Ruoxi, so there was nothing wrong with Su Ji’an’s way of inviting him.
Without waiting for Ning Cheng to refuse, Ruoxi nodded and said, “Fine, then Senior Brother Ning should come along.”
……
Su Ji’an brought Ning Cheng and Ruoxi to the inner room and poured a cup of spiritual tea for each of them before he cupped his fist and asked, “Daoist friend, you might as well speak straightforwardly.”
He felt that Ruo Shi’s cultivation level was far stronger than his own, although he did not call Ruo Shi senior and had been a little worried in his heart.
Ruo Shi also saw Su Ji’an’s worry and said casually, “There is no need to worry, Clan Chief Su, I am here simply to ask about one thing. I heard that Clan Chief Su knows that at the edge of the Tai Su Realm, there is a place where the rules are weak, where one can leave the Tai Su Realm and enter a new realm?”
Su Ji’an’s face changed when he heard Ruoxi’s words, and he did not speak for a while.
Ning Cheng’s heart moved and he did not say anything either. This kind of place was something he also wanted to know, it was like the Heavenly Road of the Yixing Continent, in case he had to leave the Tai Su Realm one day, this kind of place with weak rules would be just right.
Ruo Xi did not seem to be in a hurry either, waiting quietly on the side, and the room was suddenly silent.
It was only after a while that Su Ji An stood up, bowed to Ruo Xi and said, “Although I am the clan chief, I can’t make the decision on this matter alone, can you please wait for a while?”
Ruo Shi nodded, “No matter, Clan Chief Su, please make yourself comfortable, Senior Brother Ning Cheng and I will wait for you here for a while.”
After Su Ji’an had left, Ning Cheng raised his hand and struck several forbidden blocks before asking, “Senior Sister Ruo Shi, don’t you have a child talisman of the Heaven Opening Talisman? If you want to leave this interface, wouldn’t you just use that sub-symbol?”
Ruo Shi sighed, “I was soft-hearted and lent that sub talisman to someone else. Now I can’t leave here by myself instead, so if there’s still no way out here, I might have to ask you to borrow that sub talisman.”
Ning Cheng said somewhat helplessly, “You saved me and Yan Ji, so I don’t mind borrowing my sub talisman, it’s just that the sub talisman I have with me isn’t mine either, but that of a friend of mine. Even if I lend it to you, you will have to tell me how to return it to me in the future.”
“You’re really willing to lend it to me?” Ruo Xi’s eyes showed surprise, she was just saying it casually, how precious was the sub talisman of the Heaven Opening Talisman, who would be willing to lend it to someone else casually?
Ning Cheng smiled, “Let’s not talk about me lending you the sub talisman, tell me, you don’t know many people in the Tai Su Realm at all, much less any good friends, right? Why would you lend the Heaven Opening Talisman sub-symbol to someone else?”
