“I’m going to be away from here for a few years I reckon. You can’t continue to live here if you want to learn to refine weapons, because your flames are a little too dangerous, and if I can detect them, someone else can. Since you’re my disciple now, you can go and stay at my White Food Alchemy Shop.”
Zhong Li Baiyao said and took out another mask and handed it to Ning Cheng, “When you go to the Immortal Jade Star, make sure to remember to use this mask magic treasure to change your appearance and scent.”
Although Ning Cheng was puzzled as to why Zhong Li Baiyao was being so kind to him, he knew that he had no choice and reached out to take the mask and asked in confusion, “Even if I wear the mask, I still don’t have a star wheel, right?”
“You can solve the problem of the star wheel yourself, with your kung fu, it’s not difficult to simulate a vague star wheel, if you can’t do it, then don’t even think about going to the Immortal Jade Star.” Zhong Li Bai Eats said without hesitation.
Ning Cheng was helpless, he was sure that Zhong Li Bai Eating had the gong method to simulate the Star Wheel, but since the other party wouldn’t teach him, there was nothing he could do, so he could only say, “I don’t have a place to go to the Immortal Jade Star either.”
“The quota is yours to solve, too, and if you can’t even solve this, then you don’t have to go to Immortal Jade Star all the same.” Zhong Li Bai ate the same unforgiving tone as before.
“Then what do you want me to do for you in the future, Master?” Ning Cheng did not believe that Zhong Li Baiyao would treat him so well for no reason.
Zhong Li Bai Eats smiled wickedly, a big one and a small one! One! This! Read! Only one eye was extraordinarily smug, “Don’t worry about it, I won’t let you go to your death. Even if there is a danger of death, I will temporarily pull you along.”
Hearing these words, Ning Cheng’s brain immediately went black. He was sure that what this cheap master was telling him to do It was not something good.
Zhong Li Bai Eating acted as if he did not see Ning Cheng’s expression. Standing up and patting the clothes on his body, he said. “I’m leaving, while I’m not at the Alchemy Shop, you have to take care of your little junior sister more. Also, after you come out from the Immortal Jade Star, if you can get the Starry Sky Wheel, just give me this item.”
After saying that, Zhong Li Bai Eating’s figure faded away and soon disappeared.
Ning Cheng stood up with hatred and muttered in a low voice. “Just stop dreaming, I am there for the Starry Sky Wheel ……”
“This is negotiable, but this place is not suitable for you to learn smithing, if I hadn’t helped you set up a few formations, your broken flame would have been discovered long ago ……” Zhong Li Bai Eating’s voice once again came from afar, Ning Cheng was startled, what exactly was this old thing’s cultivation?
No matter what cultivation level Zhong Li Bai Eating was, Ning Cheng knew that the other party’s last statement was right. His three-level star formation could not conceal anything at all in such a place. Earlier, he had fallen into his sense of weapon refinement and sacrificed the Star River to refine his weapon. It was also uncontrollable. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have taken such a risk.
Sigh. Ning Cheng sat down in dismay. The Star Wheel, how did the Star Wheel only come into existence?
After just a few breaths, Ning Cheng was so shocked that he almost stood up again, he had just thought about how to simulate the Star Wheels in his mind when two vague shadows of Star Wheels appeared behind him.
Sure enough, Ning Cheng slowly drew in a breath. These unexplained star wheels were simply created from the heart, this was definitely brought about by the powerful technique of Xuanhuang Wufang. Was this really a chaotic merit method that transcended one side of the universe and the stars?
The Star Wheel could be born from the heart, which made Ning Cheng breathe a sigh of relief. Ning Cheng also felt that the warning from Zhong Li Bai Eating was necessary. He packed up all the formations inside the house and prepared to go to Zhong Li Baiyao’s weapon smith shop.
However, deep down, Ning Cheng still had some reservations about Zhong Li Baiyao, and he did not say anything about him having the Xuanhuang Pearl and the Infinite Green Thunder City. Zhong Li Baiyao had taken him as his disciple, and it seemed that he also needed his help in some way. Compared to that, Ning Cheng trusted Cang Wei more. Moreover, Zhong Li Baiyao only knew about the Creation Immortality Axe, while Cang Wei knew about all the creation treasures, and in that respect, seemed to have more knowledge than Zhong Li Baiyao.
Leaving the Star Rainbow Rest Inn, Ning Cheng simply took out his communication bead and sent a message to Zi Chejun.
It had been four or five months since then, Zi Chejun didn’t know if he had gotten the jade token, and if he hadn’t, he would go and get it himself. More importantly, how was the news he had asked Zi Chejun to inquire about.
Zi Chejun quickly sent a message back to Ning Cheng, asking Ning Cheng to go and look for him at the Midheaven Plaza in Zuotian Starry Sky City.
After receiving Zi Chejun’s message, Ning Cheng immediately dismissed the idea of going to the weapon smith shop. He knew of the Midheaven Plaza, one of the ten largest plazas in Zu Tian Starry Sky City, and also the largest one.
……
Ning Cheng arrived at Zhongtian Square as fast as he could, he had seen all kinds of starry sky squares, and although Zhongtian Square was magnificent, he did not feel anything special.
Ning Cheng had just arrived at the Midheaven Plaza when his divine sense swept up Zi Chejun, who was looking around as if he was searching for him.
Being recognised by Zi Chejun several times had caused Ning Cheng to have a bit of a lump in his heart. This time, he used Zhong Li Bai Eating’s mask, turning his into an ordinary star wanderer. If Zi Chejun could still recognise him this time, then he could only say that Zhong Li Bai Eating’s mask was not very good either.
To Ning Cheng’s delight, he purposely walked around in front of Zi Chejun a few times and Zi Chejun did not even see who he was. This made Ning Cheng feel great in his heart as he walked in front of Zi Chejun and stopped him, “Friend, I’m looking for you for something.”
Zi Chejun was looking for Ning Cheng, when he was suddenly stopped by someone, he immediately looked at Ning Cheng warily, “What is it please?”
“Shouldn’t you pay back the ten billion purple coins you owe me?” Ning Cheng’s words scared Zi Chejun, ten billion purple coins, even if he was sold, he would not have that much star coins, this person was definitely here to look for trouble.
Without waiting for Zi Chejun to speak, Ning Cheng laughed, “Brother Zi Che, you always fail to recognize me this time, right?”
Zi Chejun stared at Ning Cheng in shock for a while before he said in disbelief, “You are Brother Ning, but how come you have a Star Wheel? Also ……”
“I’ve always had a Star Wheel, I just concealed it before. Without further ado, my name is now not Ning Cheng, but Wanderer. I’ve offended some people here, so Brother Zi Che would also like to ask a favour.” Ning Cheng patted Zi Che Jun’s shoulder.
Since Zi Chejun could not recognize him now, if he changed his costume again in the future, Zi Chejun would definitely still not recognize him. Zhong Li Bai Eating really did have a few tricks up his sleeve, this mask was not bad.
Zi Chejun had already slowed down and exclaimed, “Wandering brother is really remarkable, let’s go, let’s find a place to sit down and talk.”
Ning Cheng appreciated this about Zi Chejun and never bothered to ask anything. Even though he was curious about his changed appearance and the appearance of the Star Wheel, he would never ask about it.
“Brother Zi Che, I wonder if there is any news about the female cultivator I asked you to inquire about now?” Before he even stepped out of the square, Ning Cheng could not help but ask.
Zi Chejun laughed, “You’re really an amorous seed, I thought your first question was about my quota jade token, but I didn’t expect you to be asking about that female cultivator you fell in love with at first sight.”
Seeing Ning Cheng about to speak, Zi Chejun hurriedly stopped in front of him and said, “You don’t have to worry, I stayed here to help you out. I’ve inquired about that female cultivator, she comes from the Wuji Sacred Land in the Nine Jia Starry Sky. I’m afraid this thought of yours will come to naught, the disciples of the Wuji Sacred Land are incomparably noble, not something that ordinary people like us can befriend.”
“Where is she now?” Ning Cheng asked eagerly, he didn’t care about Wuji or not, the first thing he wanted to know right now was whether that female cultivator was Qiong Hua.
“She went to the Nine-Nine Star Peeping Tower with some fellow disciples a few days ago, and she hasn’t come out yet. I was going to see how many levels she could get to before contacting you, but I didn’t expect you to give me the news first.” Zi Chejun said in a small voice.
“What is the Nine-Nine Star Peeping Tower?”
Zi Chejun knew that Ning Cheng did not understand this place and patiently explained, “The most famous place in Zuotian Starry Sky City is Zhongtian Square, which is where we are now. But the reason why Zhongtian Square is famous is not because of this square, but because of the three towers. The Nine Nine Star Peeping Tower, the Unfallen Star River Tower, and the Eternal Starry Sky Tower.”
Saying that, Zi Chejun pointed at the three hazy clouds of mist in the distance and said, “Those are the Nine-Nine Star Peeping Tower, the Unfallen Star River Tower, and the Eternal Starry Sky Tower.”
“Go over and take a look.” When Ning Cheng heard that the female cultivator who looked like Qiong Hua had entered the Nine-Nine Star Peeping Tower, he couldn’t wait to go in and take a look immediately.
……
Ning Cheng followed Zi Chejun to the front of these three towers, which his divine sense could not sweep in at all, only the outlines of three hazy clusters of towers could be seen.
On the outskirts of the rightmost one’s outline, there were five incomparably clear giant characters hovering, Nine Nine Star Peeping Tower. Above the middle one, suspended above the outline, were the words ‘Tower of the Unfallen Star River’, and suspended on the far left were the five words ‘Tower of Eternal Starry Sky’.
In addition to that, on the periphery of these three towers, there were three immense array displays, each with countless names on them. It was just that the names of the first hundred people were large and highlighted in gold, while the names at the back were all small and densely packed with an unknown number of names.
From time to time, people walked into the mist of the Nine-Nine Star Peeping Tower and the Unfallen Star River Tower, and from time to time, people were thrown out of the mist and fell onto the square. Relatively speaking, there were very few people entering the Eternal Starry Sky Tower, and Ning Cheng had stood for half a day without seeing a single person enter.
Seeing Ning Cheng looking at the three towers in silence, Zi Chejun explained on the side, “These three towers are places for sensing the Dao and trying out one’s cultivation, and are the most valuable things in Midheaven Starry Sky City. And there are no restrictions, anyone can enter or leave at any time. You see those three formation displays, right? Each formation display represents the ranking of one of the towers. The first hundred names highlighted in gold are the strongest in that realm.”
Ning Cheng’s gaze fell on the first array display, which was the array display of the Nine-Nine Star Peeping Tower, one of the names was Xiao Yu, the seventy-first level, and further back it showed the disciples of the Spiritual Sky Sect.
Zi Chejun continued in a whisper, “You see that Xiao Yu, right? He is the highest climber of the Nine-Nine Star Peeping Tower so far. Not only is he a genius among geniuses, but his confidence is so powerful that no one can even compare. I heard that he has already advanced to the Star Bridge realm, and in order to enter the Immortal Jade Star, he forcibly erased his cultivation and went back to the Star Gathering realm.”
