“This woman ……” The stout, short male cultivator’s words suddenly stalled as he saw Ji Luofei. ~Top~ Dot~ Novel~ It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen beautiful women in this place. Those as beautiful as Ji Luofei had also been seen occasionally. However, it was the first time he had seen one as beautiful as Ji Luofei, yet she had only followed a Sea Pioneer Realm cultivator to this place.
After saying those four words, he swallowed before continuing, “I’ll take it.”
The two people who were with him did not find it strange, in their opinion, no matter who Ji Luofei was, just following a Sea Breaking Realm cultivator to this place, she was still at the mercy of others. If this woman followed a late stage Cultivator of the Harmonised Tripod Realm to this place, there would still be some room for manoeuvre.
“Huh, this one isn’t bad either.” The one who spoke this time was the slightly dark-faced cultivator of the sixth level of the Tripod Transformation beside the burly, short male cultivator, and he was talking about the female cultivator among the other three men and one woman. They collected all kinds of fees here all year round, and their days were dull and monotonous. It wasn’t much of a surprise to get a few female cultivators to spice things up.
Of course, there were rules here, and that was to eat each other up, and it was best not to stir things up, let alone make a scene. A cultivator of the Sea Pioneer Realm and a female cultivator of the second level of the Cultivation, even if they wanted to make a scene, this kind of thing would not be able to make a scene.
“Come here, you six.” The cultivator with the highest cultivation level in coloured clothes beckoned to Ning Cheng and the other three men and one woman.
Ning Cheng had a murderous intent surging in his heart the moment the short cultivator said the words, “I want this woman. His divine sense was powerful and his true essence was profound, so even though he was not close to the other party, he could still hear it clearly. It was just that he was not quite clear about the situation here, and was now just forcing himself to hold back the murderous urge within him.
“I believe that several of you are coming to the Heaven Catching Stone for the first time. Let me briefly introduce myself to you all. I, Gary. From the Fate Starfleet.”
After this colourful clothed cultivator finished, he pointed to the black-skinned Sixth Level of Formation cultivator beside him and said, “This is Bian Shao, from the Black City Dan Association. Also this is Cecil, from the Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce.”
Only then did Ning Cheng realise that this short, burly cultivator who had been staring at Luo Fei was called Cecil and came from the Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce. Ning Cheng was a little puzzled, listening to Gary’s introduction, these three people were not from the same place yet.
“Friend Gary. We have just arrived at the Catching Stone, I wonder what is the nearest continent to here?” The one who asked was the fair-skinned male cultivator among the other three men and one woman, they should have come here from somewhere else, just like Ning Cheng.
Gary waved his hand, “You guys don’t need to rush, let me tell you the details. There are no continents here, only endless emptiness. To cross the void and go to the vast universe to find the star continent is not a simple matter. Or you may not be able to find a continent where you can survive even if you fly for countless years with an extremely high quality true weapon. But we are here. It is to help you.”
“Please also ask Brother Gary for guidance.” The fair-skinned male cultivator spoke politely and had a warm tone.
Gary nodded his head. “It’s not easy to survive in the vast void, the endless universe. But then, we can send you to a place called Rootless Black City. Almost all the cultivators who enter the Heavenly Path and come here will stay in Rootless Black City. Only after they have raised themselves to a powerful level in Rootless Black City, and then with the help of us, the Chamber of Commerce or the fleet, will they have the chance to enter the Starry Sky Continent.”
Ning Cheng noticed the meaning of Gary’s words, which was that whether it was going to Rootless Black City or going to the vast starry sky to find a continent, it was not something that could be done by their own ability. But for a price, they, the powers, could help to do it.
“Then may I ask Brother Gary, what do cultivators like us, who have just arrived here, need to do?” The white clean male cultivator continued to ask.
Gary nodded, “Good question, you can take our airship and enter Rootless Black City. Then cultivate in Rootless Black City and go to the void to look for black yuan stones before you have the chance to enter the starry sky. Remember, it must be with our help. If you enter the Void without permission and try to enter Rootless Black City on your own, then I have to tell you with great regret that you are dead.”
“Could it be that if you don’t take your airship, you will be decapitated?” The one who asked was the other female cultivator, and her tone was a little uncomfortable.
Ning Cheng noticed the female cultivator who spoke, and her looks were indeed not bad. Her complexion was fair and her face was like gelatin. A dainty green smoky gauze cultivator’s dress even highlighted her delicate figure, so it was evident that she was a very good dresser. The original seven points of her posture, together with this outfit, immediately rose a notch.
Gary harrumphed, “We are a big-name starship fleet, how could we possibly do such a thing? Not to mention our fleet, even the Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce’s fleet and the Black City Dan Association’s fleet would definitely not be able to do such a thing. If you don’t want to take our fleet, be my guest. As long as you leave the Heaven Catching Stone, I am certain that even if you are in the Life Robbing Realm, you will still be in a situation of death without life.
Not to mention that there are spatial wind blades everywhere, even a small meteorite breaking through the air can turn your flesh into pieces. On top of that, if you encounter a spatial dislocation, you will be nothing but dead. I would also like to remind you that it is easy to leave the Heaven Catching Stone, but if you want to come back in, then don’t even think about it.”
The female cultivator’s face changed, but she did not continue to speak. Although her divine sense could not sweep the Heaven Catching Stone, she sensed that the words were not sensational, but true.
Ning Cheng finally knew the realm that would follow the transformation of the Tripod, the Robbed Life Realm. He didn’t have much doubt about Gary’s words, this Heaven Catching Stone seemed to be protected by a natural ban, and his divine sense couldn’t sweep out. Like the female cultivator, he had a premonition that the void outside here was not a simple matter. But the forbidden system that protected the Heaven Catching Stone was, as Gary had said, easy to get out, but difficult to get in.
“Thank you for telling me, Brother Gary, my name is Lan Wenbin. I would also like to ask Brother Gary, if I go to Rootless Black City, how many spirit stones do I need?” The fair-skinned man’s tone was even more respectful, he knew very well that these people had stopped here for half a day to explain that it definitely wouldn’t be because they liked to do good deeds.
Gary smiled faintly, “Spirit stones are only needed where you are, here don’t want spirit stones, here want black coins ……”
“Black coins?” Even Ning Cheng was a bit surprised, coins were all things used in the secular world, in a place of cultivation, there were coins used?
“That’s right, it’s black coins. I guess you guys don’t have black coins either, but it doesn’t matter, you can go exchange them, one thousand upper grade spirit stones for one black coin. To go to Rootless Black City from here, you need one hundred thousand black coins, and if you don’t have them, you won’t be able to buy a boat ticket.” Gary’s tone was flat, but his words revealed his true fangs.
“What?” The six people, including Ning Cheng, were all frozen, what the other party meant by this was that it would cost 100 million spirit stones to go to Rootless Black City from here. It was impossible for an ordinary cultivator to have so many spirit stones even if they were rich. Ning Cheng was able to have billions of spirit stones because he had only recovered the spirit stones from the sale of the Nine Yin Earth Heart Marrow and the Nine Coloured Mirage Tree. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have so many spirit stones.
Moreover, Ning Cheng definitely did not believe in this exchange ratio, even if the exchange ratio was this, he did not believe that it would take 100 million spirit stones to take a ride on an airship. This was like a billionaire with 2 billion, if this rich man went out and took a trip on a plane, which also required 100 million yuan, his family fortune would not be enough for him to go to a place ten times and back.
Ning Cheng pulled up Ji Luofei and said, “Luofei, let’s go take a look inside.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng directly turned around this Garry trio and wanted to enter that row of buildings, where there were also some commercial buildings, and he wanted to go to the commercial buildings and ask.
The burly and short cultivator called Cecil had been staring at Ji Luofei, when he saw Ning Cheng was about to leave, he immediately took a step sideways to stop Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei, “Wait.”
Ning Cheng said in an icy tone, “What, do you want to rob again?”
“Hehe, it’s not that I wouldn’t dare to rob. But you’re a tiny Sea Pioneer Realm cultivator, and you’re worth robbing? Master is here to help you. This female cultivator will stay with me, I’ll pay 20,000 black coins for you, you can go to Rootless Black City first, and this female cultivator can go after a while.”
Cecil’s tone was righteous, in his opinion, it was the natural thing to do.
“Not interested.” Ning Cheng was still restraining his anger, behind Cecil was the Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce. This Chamber of Commerce was one he had not yet come into contact with, and he had just learnt from Gary’s mouth that there were still Life Robbing Realm cultivators here. That was a higher level of existence than a Tripod Transformation cultivator, if the Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce could gain a foothold here, there must also be Life Robbing Realm cultivators, so he should be careful.
“Even if you’re not interested, I want this woman today, even if it works, even if it doesn’t.” If it wasn’t for Ji Luofei, how would Cecil, a cultivator at the fifth level of the Cultivation Tripod, have the time to nag a small cultivator of the Sea Pioneer Realm like Ning Cheng? What’s more, it was his turn to do business with the Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce today.
Instead, Ning Cheng calmed down, Cecil he would kill, but he believed that if he was such an obvious captive at the Heaven Catching Stone, then after passing through the Heavenly Road, it would be tantamount to having no rules to follow. Even in places that relied on strength anymore, there was still an open rule.
Thinking of this Ning Cheng prepared his crystal ball and calmly asked, “My wife and I are just passing through the Heaven Catching Stone and you are going to forcibly take people captive? Could it be that the Heaven Catching Stone has no reasoning to speak of and everything is up to you? And who do you represent?”
“Haha, you’re still talking sense to me, that’s right, I’m in charge here. I represent the Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce, and if the Jia Xing Chamber of Commerce wants your woman, you have to give it to them with both hands. Those 20,000 black coins are gone, that’s what the master said today, this woman must stay, or not.”
Cecil laughed loudly, while his hand had already grabbed towards Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng pulled Ji Luofei backwards a few steps, dodging Cecil’s hand, and said in a hateful voice, “We don’t agree, do you want to kill me and my husband?”
“That’s right, I’ll kill you, what can you do?” After Cecil finished speaking, a blue and wavy blade weapon was offered up, and before the blade came out, several slashes were already slashing towards Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng put away the crystal ball, no longer bothering to talk nonsense to Cecil, the Nirvana Gun was sacrificed. At the same time, the fierce gun intent cut through the space between him and Cecil and blasted at Cecil. No matter who dared to hit Concubine Luo, he would not show any half-hearted mercy.
