Hearing that even Ning Cheng, a Nurtured Dao Saint Emperor, dared to call Liu Fang Zhen by his name, the young girl’s face sank slightly as she said in a slightly stern tone, “It is Lord Liu City who has something for you, Dan Master Ning, come with me.”
When others invited him, he would probably go. This Liu Fang Zhen invited him, Ning Cheng would definitely not go. What’s more, Liu Fangzhen was not even close to an invitation, to put it in a bad way, it was an order. From the beginning to the end, this young girl did not say that Liu Fangzhen had invited him, she only said that Liu Fangzhen was looking for him for something.
After she had said Liu Fangzhen’s name, she was still unhappy in her heart. Now she didn’t even need to ask if she was free, and directly asked herself to follow her over. Did this guy think he was the master of heaven and earth? The Dao Court of the Taiyi Realm might be a place of strict hierarchy, and he, Ning Cheng, was no one from the Dao Court.
“Xixi, let’s go. The Taiyi Dan Dao City has been crowded recently, so we’d better not go looking for a place, and go directly to the Siddhartha Council Master.” Ning Cheng didn’t even bother to pay attention to this young girl, and directly greeted Xixi.
“Dan Master Ning, you should go with me to pay your respects to City Master Liu first.” The young girl’s face was even more ugly. For as long as there had ever been, all Lord Liu City had to do to see whichever person he wanted was for her to say the word. Most of the time, she didn’t even need to show up herself, just call someone to say hello. She purposely used the word obeisance, meaning that Lord Liu City’s status was much higher than yours.
Even if this was not Wuting Sacred Dao City, no one in this part of the world would dare to take what Lord Liu City said as a whisper? This time, she had personally come to look for Ning Cheng, still on account of the fact that Ning Cheng was a Dan Master, and had given face. Now, it seemed that while she gave face, people did not necessarily give a damn about her.
Ning Cheng stopped and looked at the young girl and asked, “Does Liu Fang Zhen know me?”
“City Master Liu has never met Dan Master Ning.” At Ning Cheng calling Liu Fang Zhen’s name for the second time, the young girl was even more furious in her heart. It was just that she did not yet have the guts to do anything to the Dan Master of the Five Realms Dan Competition.
After saying this, she was a little upset in her heart and still threatened. “Ning Cheng, Lord Liu City has asked you to go. Have you thought clearly about the consequences if you don’t go? I’m afraid it’s not something you can bear as a small Tai Su Realm Dan Master. Even if you are good at Dan Dao, it is still the same.”
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, without threatening him, he would at most refuse, threatening him? How old are you, Liu Fang Zhen?
“Liu Fang Zhen doesn’t know me, I don’t know him either, what am I going to see him for? Does he have one more egg than the others, or is his face bigger than someone’s ass?”
After saying these words. Ning Cheng even didn’t wait for the other party to reply and walked away directly.
It was not that he wanted to deliberately offend Liu Fangzhen, but he had long since run out of leeway with Liu Fangzhen, so it was useless to hold back any longer. Liu Fangzhen must have known some clues if he was looking for him for no reason. He might have asked him to go there just to force him to ask him about what was going on. In other words, if he went to see Liu Fangzhen and Liu Fangzhen made a mistake and killed him, he could only admit his bad luck.
With Liu Fangzhen’s status, taking out a small Dan master like him. Even though he would be condemned or held accountable by the Dan Association, nothing would be done to him.
Since they were destined to be enemies, there was no need to kneel down and lick each other’s stinking feet.
As he watched Ning Cheng and Xixi sail away. The messenger girl’s face was blue with anger and her body was trembling. She had never seen such a rampant fellow, a mere Dao Breeding Saint Emperor. Even if he was a Dan Saint, so what?
“Big brother Ning, Liu Fangzhen is famous for his vengeance, I’m afraid …… I’m afraid ……”
Seeing that Ning Cheng didn’t not only didn’t go to see Liu Fangzhen, but also spoke out against him, Xi Xi immediately said with some concern.
Ning Cheng smiled, “Xixi you don’t have to worry. I’m afraid that Liu Fangzhen is getting suspicious when he comes to us. Even if we listen to him again. He won’t let it go either.”
“I’m sorry, I’m the one who dragged you into this.” Xi Xi thought of the distant self who had stopped the road before. Somewhat gloomily, she said.
Ning Cheng said straight away, “Xi Xi you are wrong, Pan Qian and I are friends past life, his matters are my matters.”
With Liu Fang Zhen on one side, Ning Cheng directly found Sichun Qiu Tian, fortunately, Sichun Qiu Tian had long ago arranged a resting inn room for him.
……
The Five Great Dao Courts all had rest houses in Taiyi Dandao City, and Liu Fangzhen was staying at the Liu Liu Rest House. The Liu Rest Inn was not far from the Wu Shuang Rest Inn where Ning Cheng lived, but in Taiyi Dan Dao City, it was impossible to use one’s divine sense to check even a few steps away.
At this moment, Liu Fang Zhen’s face was calm as he listened to the young girl’s words, and he was not annoyed at Ning Cheng’s comparison of his face to someone else’s buttocks, his eyes did not even change for a moment.
Only after the young girl had finished speaking did he say in a light voice, “You go down, I know.”
……
After Ning Cheng returned to the resting inn, he continued to study that book of the Yu Intergrass. As long as he didn’t go out, Liu Fang Zhen couldn’t do anything to help him. If there was any confusion, he immediately went to ask Lu Dongze, who also lived in the Wu Shuang Rest Inn. As for the very few plants that were not marked, Lu Dongze himself did not know. For the things he knew, he told Ning Cheng without reservation.
Seeing that more than two months had passed, Ning Cheng had finished reading two thirds of the Yu Zhi grasses and trees in his hands. During these two months, Ning Cheng had reaped a great harvest. Not only because of the contents in the Yu Intergrasswood, but also because the discussion on Dan with Lu Dongze had given him a lot of insight. When it came to the level of the Dao of Dan, Lu Dong Ce was even higher than Si Chen Qiu Tian.
Apart from having a higher level of Dao comprehension, Ning Cheng and Lu Dong Ce had formed a deep friendship. Lu Dong Ce had a direct personality and did not like to beat about the bush. This kind of character easily offended people, yet he and Ning Cheng got along very well.
On this day, Ning had just put down the Yuama grass and trees when the ban at the entrance of the room was triggered.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept out and saw Si Chen Qiu Tian and an unfamiliar middle-aged Confucian standing at the entrance. He then noticed that the unfamiliar Confucian scholar’s cultivation level was not inferior to that of Si Chuan Qiu Tian at all. In other words, the other party was at least a Mixed Yuan powerhouse, which Mixed Yuan Saint Emperor had come looking for him?
Ning Cheng opened the room ban and before he could speak, Si Dan Qiu Tian said with a smile, “Ning Cheng, this is City Lord Liu Fang Zhen, the City Lord of Wuting Sacred Dao City, he has heard that your dan dao is remarkable and has come to pay a special visit.”
If it were an ordinary person, upon learning that a city lord from another city in the Mixed Origin Saint Emperor Realm had gone to pay a visit to a small Dao Breeding Saint Emperor Dan Master like Ning Cheng, he would definitely be shocked out of his mind. However, Si Chen Qiu Tian did not feel surprised, Ning Cheng was qualified to have any Mixed Origin Saint Emperor come and visit him.
Ning Cheng’s heart was filled with a sense of security, he could not have imagined that Liu Fang Zhen would be so magnanimous, he had ridiculed him like that, anyone else would only do so from the shadows, he would never come to visit on his own initiative. The reason why he had ridiculed Liu Fangzhen without mercy in the first place was not only that he disdained Liu Fangzhen’s attitude and knew that the two would not become friends. There was another purpose, and that was to make it clear to himself that he had an opponent like Liu Fangzhen. While Liu Fangzhen was secretly making his move against him, he could prepare for the Five Realms Dan Competition without fear.
In any case, Ning Cheng had not expected that Liu Fangzhen would come to him on his own initiative.
“So it is Lord Liu City who is here, please come in. Council Master Si Chen, please come in as well.” Liu Fang Zhen had put down his posture to come to the door this time, no matter what the purpose was, before Liu Fang Zhen had turned his face up, Ning Cheng could not say anything else.
Lord Sizhen would definitely have to be invited in, otherwise what would he do if Liu Fangzhen suddenly made a move?
Si Chuan Qiu Tian also had no intention of leaving, no matter what reason Liu Fang Zhen had for coming to Ning Cheng, Liu Fang Zhen was a Mixed Origin Saint Emperor. Ning Cheng was the person he thought most highly of, so he naturally could not let Ning Cheng be alone with a strange Mixed Origin Saint Emperor.
“This time, I have also been invited by the Taiyi Dan Association for the Five Realms Dan Competition. I have heard for a long time that Dan Saint Ning’s Dan Dao level has stepped into a new level, so I ask that if Mister Liu comes uninvited, please don’t be offended.” Not only did Liu Fangzhen speak naturally, he was also polite. It was as if he was not the one who had directly ordered Ning Cheng to go there last time.
“I didn’t expect that Lord Liu City was also someone who loved Dan, that would be best, let’s discuss the Dao of Dan together ……” Ning Cheng said in mock surprise, as long as Liu Fang Zhen agreed to discuss Dan. He could completely discuss the Dao of Dan with Si Chen Qiu Tian and leave Liu Fang Zhen here for a few days and nights.
Liu Fangzhen hurriedly waved his hand and said, “I just love interacting with Dan masters, I don’t have a deep understanding of the Dao of Dan myself. By the way, I heard that when Dan Master Ning first arrived at the Taiyi Realm, he went out for a walk, I wonder how the harvest was?”
Regardless of what Liu Fangzhen meant by asking this question, Ning Cheng still said plainly, “The Taiyi Realm is too big, I went around for a few days and didn’t find out a clue, so I simply went back to Dan Dao City.”
Liu Fang Zhen said with a straight face, “I admire the Dan Dao achievements of Dan Sage Ning, it’s just that the Taiyi Realm is still somewhat turbulent despite being jointly maintained by the Five Great Dao Courts. It has always been the Dan masters who have made the greatest contributions, and Taiyi Dan Dao City is close to the Liuyi Dao Pavilion, so in case something happens, my Liuyi Dao Pavilion would really be ashamed of the Dan Association that hosts the Dan Competition.”
Ning Cheng sneered in his heart, but did not interface, let’s see how you play.
Seeing that Ning Cheng did not interface, Liu Fang Zhen could only take the initiative to say, “Dan Sage Ning should know about the Taiyi Giant Clan, right? The Taiyi Giant Clan once tried to take over the entire Taiyi Realm, but fortunately we found out early and eventually stopped the disaster after a lot of hardship. Unfortunately, there were still some fish that slipped through the net. There is a saying that a wildfire cannot be burnt to the ground, but a spring breeze will grow again, and what they lack most is a dan master who can refine dao pills for them, so I am very worried about this Five Realms Dan Competition.”
“Thank you Lord Liu City for your concern, I am not going to leave here until the Five Realms Dan Competition is over.” Ning Cheng said with a mushy heart. The Ancient Giant Clan was a threat? This Liu Fang Zhen was really shameless.
Liu Fang Zhen nodded and said in a gruff tone, “I heard that you have a woman by your side called Xi Xi, who was brought from the Five Realms Void Market?”
Here it comes, Ning Cheng said secretly in his heart. He just didn’t know whether Liu Fangzhen had learned about Xi Xi after Yuan Yi’s death or before his death. According to his judgment, it should have been after Yuan Ji’s death that Liu Fangzhen learned of some of the reasons. Otherwise, a person like Liu Fangzhen would not have waited for him and Xi Xi to arrive at Taiyi Sacred Dao City before intercepting them.
