“Brother Ning shouldn’t be in a hurry to refuse first, it’s not just a matter of money. To be honest, the billions of green coins that Brother Ning has going to the Manlun Starspace is not much money at all. If one were to enter the cosmic space, this amount of star coins would be even less worth mentioning. Besides, it was not possible for a starry sky cultivator to merely have money. If this favor is done by Brother Ning, not only can he easily cross the Third Realm of Stargazing, he can even advance to the Starbridge Realm in the shortest possible time ……,” Ruan Zhuo said unhurriedly, observing Ning Cheng’s expression as he spoke.
The hardest thing for Ning Cheng right now was that his cultivation speed had once again slowed down, ever since he had advanced to the Numinous Star and absorbed Starry Sky Yuan Qi to cultivate, he no longer had the speed of the Robust Life Realm. Ning Cheng was also too lazy to look for a place to close down and cultivate, he didn’t have that much time to do so.
Now that he had heard Ruan Zhuo say that he could advance to the Star Bridge in the shortest possible time, he was really moved. It was certainly good to have money in this place, but money couldn’t buy everything. Moreover, according to Ruan Zhuo, this amount of money he had was nothing at all.
“Please enlighten me, Brother Ruan.” Ning Cheng asked with the idea that it didn’t matter if he listened for a bit.
“Brother Ning should know about the Man Lun Star Peeping Realm Genius Selection Competition, right?”
Ruan Zhuo said with a smile.
Ning Cheng nodded, “I know about this.”
“Oh, then I wonder why Brother Ning didn’t go and register for it? With Brother Ning’s ability to at least enter the Leland Star River, it is not impossible even if he is selected by the Man Lun Star.” Ruan Zhuo asked, slightly puzzled.
Ning Cheng said in a light voice, “I feel that my cultivation level is not enough, and now that I have won a bit of money, I am planning to find a place to close up and cultivate.”
“Oh, this kind of thinking of Brother Ning is a big fallacy. What’s better than the Man Lun Star Trials reward for not having enough cultivation?” Ruan Zhuo hurriedly waved his hand and said.
“Please also enlighten me.” Ning Cheng really did not know what rewards there were for this kind of selection tournament, and Jing Wuming did not know either. As for Lan Ya, she hadn’t mentioned it to him at all, probably because she thought his cultivation level was too low.
Ruan Zhuo said cautiously, ”Brother Ning, with your skills, if you participate in this kind of competition, it is very possible to storm into the Man Lun Star. As long as you can be selected to continue competing in the Man Lun Starry Sky, it’s the rewards of the Leland Starry River that are very impressive. What’s more, do you know where the selection for the Man Lun Starry Sky is held?”
Ning Cheng smiled and said, “Or maybe this kind of reward is very impressive, but I know my own business ah. The Man Lun Starry Sky is full of powerful people, and it would be absolutely impossible to be selected by the Man Lun Starry Sky.”
Ruan Zhuo said in disbelief, “Brother Ning this kind of thinking you have is not something a strong person should have, besides, you don’t have to be selected by the Man Lun Star Space, as long as you can participate in the Man Lun Star Space selection. Let me tell you straight away, the selection for the Man Lun Starry Sky takes place in the Time Desolate Domain. It is the number one secret realm in the Man Lun Starry Sky and the most mysterious place in the entire Man Lun Starry Sky.
There are countless treasures inside the Time Desolate Domain, and just getting in is a blessing. When you come out, you may not have been chosen. But you have obtained countless things in it that you wanted to obtain. It can be said that many of the geniuses who participated in the selection did not think about being selected by the Man Lun Star Space and rushing into the universe to participate in the higher level selection. All they want is simply to be able to enter the Time Desolate Domain.”
Although Ning Cheng was eager to go to the Time Desolate Domain in his heart, he also knew that Ruan Zhuo would not be so kind and still said nonchalantly, “Brother Ruan, my cultivation level is not good, and in this place where there are so many geniuses, I am afraid that even if I participated, I would not be able to enter the Time Desolate Domain. Also, Brother Ruan and I have never met before, why would Brother Ruan want to help me?”
Ruan Zhuo said with a straight face, “Brother Ning, I am helping you and inviting you to participate in the Man Lun Star Peeping Realm Genius Selection, there is indeed some thought in it. This will do Brother Ning no harm, it is something that will benefit both sides.”
Seeing that Ning Cheng was listening to himself carefully, Ruan Zhuo was even more certain that Ning Cheng wanted to go to this kind of selection, and also settled down to continue, “Brother Ning’s cultivation level is either really Nian Xing, or more than Nian Xing. But I saw at the casino that Brother Ning’s divine sense is definitely first class, even surpassing that of an ordinary Numinous Star cultivator ……”
When Ning Cheng heard this from Ruan Zhuo, he knew that the matter of him cheating was not guessed by a single person. It was just that no one else had any evidence and were merely speculating.
Ruan Zhuo continued, “Not only is Brother Ning’s divine sense powerful, he is also young. There is a place in the Time Desolate Domain that contains something that every cultivator dreams of. Not many people can know about that place, and we happen to know about it, so if Brother Ning is willing to represent my Ruan Family in the competition ……”
Ruan Zhuo paused here, Ning Cheng understood what was meant for him, that was if he was willing to represent the Ruan Family, the other party would then talk about cooperation next. If he was not willing, then forget it.
Seeing that Ning Cheng was silent, Ruan Zhuo added, “The things inside there are enough for you to advance to the Star Bridge realm, and we will distribute such things according to the size of our contribution. However, there is one thing that we must get our hands on. As for what this item is, forgive me for not being able to tell you.”
“You will only tell me if I agree?” Ning Cheng asked.
Ruan Zhuo shook his head, “Sorry, this item is something that my Ruan family must obtain. Whether you know what this item is or not does not affect cooperation.”
“Then even if I agree, how can I help you get something like this back?” Ning Cheng said with a frown.
“Of course someone goes in together.”
Ruan Zhuo’s words made Ning Cheng curse himself for being stupid, the Ruan family must have someone going in together, how could they put all their hopes in the hands of a stranger like him? The Ruan Family should have looked at him because of his powerful divine sense.
“Then can you tell me what I can get something for?” Ning Cheng’s heart had already moved.
“As long as you agree, of course I can tell you, it requires the master to talk to you personally.” Ruan Zhuo smiled genially, as if Ning Cheng’s agreement was originally expected by him.
……
Reina City was the number one city in the Reia Star, and it was also where the Lord of the Reia Star lived.
After Ning Cheng followed Ruan Zhuo into Reina City, the first thing he did was not to look for Jing Wuming and Lan Ya, but instead came to the Ruan family.
The Ruan Family looked very inconspicuous on the surface, it was just a very ordinary small family. It was only after Ning Cheng entered the confines of the Ruan Family that he realised that there was something else inside. The starry sky Yuan Qi inside was incomparably dense and far too powerful compared to other places. This was not all, a powerful aura radiated out, letting Ning Cheng know that there were numerous powerful people in this place.
It was not until Ning Cheng saw Ruan Chengzhong that he too knew that what he had seen was most likely just a small portion. This Ruan Chengzhong’s cultivation level was definitely at the Heavenly Fate Realm, and perhaps even the Star Lords of Leiya Star were inferior to him.
Ning Cheng thought of Lan Ya’s comment about the Star Lord of Leiya Star, weak and incompetent. Originally Ning Cheng had not thought of it, but now he always had some sympathy for the Star Lord of Leiya Star. Any star lord whose land had the presence of a strong person like the Ruan family, that star lord would not be able to harden up.
One wondered why a strong family like the Ruan Family had to shrink in a small place like Leiya Star.
Ruan Chengzhong was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his whole person looked unruffled and powerful, somewhat like a general on the battlefield, not like an astral cultivator.
“Not bad, Ruan Zhuo didn’t misjudge you. Your divine sense is indeed immensely powerful, and you are settled and at ease in coming here, exactly the person I am looking for. My name is Ruan Zhanzhong, please sit down, Fellow Daoist Ning.”
Ruan Xiezhong was mid-spirited and spoke in an even brighter tone.
Ning Cheng clasped his fist, “Thank you, Master Ruan for the invitation, I am afraid that I, Ning, am not up to the task.”
“No, you are more than up to the task. There are two things I want to ask you to help with, the first is to follow my little daughter and assist her in entering the Eternal Hope Lake in the Time Desolate Domain.”
“Lake of Eternal Hope?” Ning Cheng repeated in confusion, he guessed that this should be the place that Ruan Zhuo had mentioned before.
“Not bad, Yongwang Lake.” Ruan Zhanzhong affirmed, “There is an ancient desert fortress at the bottom of the Yongwang Lake, and there is a Yongwang Dan in that desert fortress.”
“A pill left behind by an ancient predecessor?” Ning Cheng asked once again, he had never heard of the Yongwang Dan.
Ruan Chengzhong said indifferently, “No, the Eternal Hope Pill is not artificially refined. It is pure star river Yuan Qi condensed by itself and has not undergone artificial refinement at all. This kind of dan also has complete rules, and the effect of cultivation is multiplied. Because it is not artificially refined, there are no side effects and the cultivation traces are nearly non-existent.”
Ning Cheng’s heart twitched, “Does Master Ruan mean that I can easily advance to the Star Bridge realm as long as I get some of these Eternal Hope Pills?”
Ruan Zhanzhong nodded appreciatively, “That’s right, your reward is the Eternal Hope Pill. This kind of elixir is incredibly rare, and it’s not sold everywhere even in the Man Lun star space. As for what we want, all you have to do is to follow the youngest daughter’s instructions.”
Ning Cheng nodded, knowing that he would have to follow Ruan Zhanzhong’s daughter over.
Seeing that Ning Cheng did not ask why, Ruan Chengzhong was even more satisfied, “My little daughter’s name is Ruan Ningshu, and because she has some misunderstandings about me, she is very close to a cultivator called Zhaoyan Xiang. I hope that while you are helping out, you can also keep a closer eye on my little daughter and not let her get too close to Zhaoyan Xiang ……”
Ning Cheng immediately understood, which meant that Ruan Chengzhong was not very happy with Zhaoyan Xiang, while his daughter was hitting it off with Zhaoyan Xiang. Ruan Chengzhong was afraid that his daughter and Zhaoyan Xiang were messing around in the Time Desolate Domain and asked him to be the light bulb.
Ning Cheng cursed in his heart, no matter how powerful his divine sense was, he couldn’t stop two people from cheating on each other, right? Besides, this matter was none of his business.
“Sorry, Master Ruan, I’m sorry that I can’t do that. Besides, I have been invited by the King of Jingnan Star River to visit his old man, so I am afraid that I cannot stay in Leland Star River for too long.” Ning Cheng did not hesitate to refuse, saying the King of Jingnan Star River just to scare Ruan Chengzhong a little.
Ruan Chengzhong smiled faintly, “Ruan Zhuo has already heard the message that King Jingnan Xinghe left to you when he was leaving, so you don’t need to worry. How about this, if you find it difficult, we’ll call it quits on the second one.”
After saying that, he did not wait for Ning Cheng to reply and called out directly, “Since Ningshu is here, come out and meet your partner, Ning Cheng.”
Ruan Chengzhong’s meaning was obvious, that is, you don’t need to press me with the King of Jingnan Star River, you are simply a fox and a tiger, and your relationship with the King of Jingnan Star River is not as good as you say it is.
