“It’s you?” A female cultivator who had been bumped into by Ning Cheng looked at Ning Cheng and spoke in surprise.
Ning Cheng also recognized this female cultivator, the woman who had rammed his starship and then made him pay 100 million green coins.
“Could it be that you want me to pay 100 million green coins again?” Ning Cheng looked coldly at the female cultivator in a pale blue dress in front of him, his tone devoid of warmth. Facing Qiong Hua, the feelings that he could not take away or even explain, no one could understand. In the final analysis, it was that his strength was low.
Even though his strength had risen sort of by leaps and bounds, even so, he could not stand firm in front of this Daoist nun. At this time, Ning Cheng had only one thought in his heart, cultivation.
He did not continue to go up to look for Qiong Hua, such a meaningless thing, he did not want to do it. As long as he knew that Qiong Hua was in the Immortal Sacred Land, one day, he would slap this Daoist nun and pick up Qiong Hua.
“Of course not, but it’s a fact that you just bumped into me, right?” The blue-skirted female cultivator wasn’t angry and her tone seemed gentle.
Ning Cheng said calmly, “It’s a fact, but there are so many people in this square, and there would be a brush between walking. I am also sorry for bumping into you, I didn’t mean to.”
“I’m not talking about you bumping into me, it was indeed a small thing. It’s some kind of fate that we met twice in a row. Get to know each other, my name is Su Dai, I don’t know what your name is yet?” To Ning Cheng’s surprise, the tone of this female cultivator who had pressured him to pay for the money at first was now surprisingly gentle.
Ning Cheng did not have any good feelings towards this female cultivator who had asked him to bow to the ground to make amends. He said in a light voice, “I’m just a casual cultivator, a nameless person.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng no longer wanted to talk much with this Custodian and walked towards Zi Chejun who had been watching this way.
Su Dai bit her lips as she stared at Ning Cheng’s back. She certainly understood the meaning of Ning Cheng’s words, which was that people like herself were too high for him to climb. To put it plainly. I didn’t put you in my eyes.
She was curious about Ning Cheng because Ning Cheng was a tiny Star Peeping Cultivator. He casually took out 100 million green coins to compensate her. If it was a normal cultivator, he would definitely bow to the ground and apologize. Moreover, now that he was speaking, he did not have the same apologetic take money look that he had before. It was evident that this fellow was not afraid of her when he compensated her with money in the first place, and seemed to really know that he was at fault.
“Miss, this fellow is very interesting.” Seeing her own miss staring at Ning Cheng’s back, the green-skirted female cultivator added at her side.
“Senior sister Qiong, you saw it. This guy goes around looking for opportunities to meet female cultivators. He bumped into a few people just now, and it was that female cultivator who knew him, what a coincidence.” Seeing this situation, Jing Yi Yi added more fuel to the fire and said to Qiong Hua.
After the Daoist nun who was called Holy Lord used her aura to press Ning Cheng back, seeing that Ning Cheng did not come up again, she did not continue to pay attention to Ning Cheng, instead, she slowed down her tone and asked, “Yi Yi, you and Qiong Hua are here, did that stargazing cultivator who ascended to the eighty-first floor come down?”
“He hasn’t come down yet. There was a person who was teleported out just now, and everyone thought it was him, but they ended up surging up there. It turned out not to be.” Jing Yi Yi replied in a hurry.
“The Heart Tower Emperor is here ……,” someone called out, immediately drawing numerous eyes over.
……
“Brother Zicha ……” Ning Cheng called out to Zicha Jun, who then reacted and then excitedly pulled Ning Cheng towards the periphery.
Ning Cheng patted Zi Chejun’s shoulder and said, “Brother Zi Che, I know what you are going to say, and I know what you are going to ask. These are all secondary matters, the main thing is that you must help me get a jade token to enter the Immortal Jade Star. I want to close down and cultivate for a while recently, so I can only ask you for this matter. Apart from that there is another matter. I need to ask Brother Zi Che for his help.”
Zi Chejun said, “Brother Ning. Just give me an order, as long as I can help. I will definitely do my best to help you.”
Zi Chejun did not call Ning Cheng Wanderer anymore, but changed his mouth to call him Brother Ning again, so it was clear that he also knew that the name Wanderer could not be used anymore.
Ning Cheng whispered, “Brother Zi Che, you saw the fierceness of that old Daoist nun from the Wuji Holy Land just now. That female cultivator that I have my heart set on is called Qiong Hua, you keep an eye on her for me, once that Qiong Hua goes out alone, you send me a message. If it’s following the old Daoist nun, don’t give me a message.”
“I will heed that.” Zi Chejun hastily replied, originally he had interacted with Ning Cheng because he wanted the Rootless Green Bamboo Leaf, and of course because he somewhat admired Ning Cheng. Now that Ning Cheng could even go up to the eighty-first floor of the Star Peeping Tower, he truly wanted to become friends with Ning Cheng.
He knew that Ning Cheng had secrets, but which cultivator did not have his own secrets? Even if Ning Cheng’s secret was big and he revealed it, it would not do him any good, it might just be one more deadly enemy. Right now, Ning Cheng’s cultivation level was still low, and by befriending Ning Cheng, he might be able to have one more friend of a great power in the future.
“Brother Zi Che, when will the Immortal Jade Star be opened to enter?” Ning Cheng asked with some concern, he was worried that when the Immortal Jade Star opened, he hadn’t gotten the qualifications to go in yet.
Zi Chejun knew what Ning Cheng was worried about, and gestured a reassuring look as he whispered, “It will only open when all the people from the rest of the great stars have gathered. There is no need to worry, even if it is fully gathered, the opening will still have to be notified to everyone.”
“That would be best, Brother Zi Che, I will leave first, remember to contact me immediately if there is anything.” Ning Cheng and Zi Che Jun exchanged a greeting and silently left the Midheaven Square.
……
“Senior Brother Wanderer, it’s just as well that you’re back. Master and I said that while he was away, the smith shop would have to rely on Senior Brother Wanderer to hold it up. I was worried about it, and then Senior Brother came back, how wonderful.” Ning Cheng had just walked up to the entrance of the White Food Alchemy Shop when Senior Sister Yan, who had a professional smile on her face, greeted him.
Ning Cheng secretly thought to himself that this Senior Sister Yan had really lived in the wrong place, if she was placed on Earth, she would definitely be a formidable character.
Ning Cheng did not reply to Senior Sister Yan’s words, he just sighed with a sad face.
“What’s wrong? Wandering Senior Brother?” Although Senior Sister Yan’s words came out in concern for Ning Cheng, she still had a professional smile on her face.
“Senior Sister Yan, from now on you can’t call me Senior Brother Wanderer, I’m going to change my name.” Ning Cheng’s face became even more bitter.
Senior Sister Yan smiled, “This name is very nice, why do you need to change it?”
“Alas, I say, Senior Sister Yan, how boring it is for a beautiful woman like you to be nestled in this shop all day.” Speaking of this, Ning Cheng’s words turned mysterious, “You don’t know, do you, Senior Sister Yan, that someone has climbed to the eighty-first floor of the Nine-Nine Star Peeping Tower in the Midheaven Plaza?”
“What?” Senior Sister Yan’s hand shook and the professional smile on her face completely disappeared, replaced by a face of shock.
Ning Cheng secretly smiled in his heart, it looked like this Senior Sister Yan was not simple either. Knowing that the eighty-first floor was difficult to go up, he really wouldn’t have been able to go up if he hadn’t been exposed to the skin of the Time Law.
“I told you that you stay at home all day long and your news is closed, this matter has even alerted the Heart Tower Emperor, that person should have been called away by the Heart Tower Emperor.” Ning Cheng babbled, in fact he had heard from others that there was a Heart Tower Great Emperor, as for what the full name of the Heart Tower Great Emperor was, he was unable to figure it out at all.
Seeing that Senior Sister Yan was still in shock, Ning Cheng simply sat down opposite her and said with a sigh, “You say that such a powerful person, what name is not good enough, but has to be named something like Wanderer.”
“You said that the cultivator who went up to the eighty-first floor of the Star Peeping Tower was also called a wanderer?” Senior Sister Yan finally woke up and asked in surprise.
Ning Cheng nodded, “That’s right, why else would I change my name? You said that we all have the same name, so why is there such a big difference in the sky? Ugh.”
Senior Sister Yan finally calmed down and once again resumed that professional smile and said, “There are plenty of people with the same name, Senior Brother doesn’t necessarily need to change his name, it’s quite good to be called Wanderer.”
Ning Cheng shook his head, “No, I’ve been watching from the square. After that Wanderer charged up to the eighty-first floor, all the pretty female cultivators in the entire square shrieked in awe, all worshipping him. If I don’t change my name, I’ll get beaten up after school.”
“Senior brother, what is after school?”
“Forget it, just know that there are many pretty female cultivators who come to beat me up if I am still called Wanderer. Anyway, from now on, you can just call me Senior Brother Ning.” Ning Cheng waved his hand and didn’t say his name, Senior Sister Yan didn’t say her name to him, so there was no need for him to say it to her.
Senior Sister Yan smiled faintly, “Senior Brother Ning is worrying too much, there shouldn’t be such a thing.”
Although her mouth said that such a thing would not happen, Senior Sister Yan still changed her title to Senior Brother Ning.
“It won’t? I was stopped by a female cultivator in the square today. If it wasn’t for the Heart Tower Grand Emperor coming over, I would really have been beaten up.” Ning Cheng gritted his teeth and said, that Daoist nun from the Infinite Sacred Land gave him a memory, one day, he would use his aura to press this Daoist nun back as well.
“There really is such a thing, huh?” Senior Sister Yan also saw that Ning Cheng was not joking.
“Let’s not talk about that, Master White Food said that his room is mine when he’s not around. I’m going up to rest, if you have anything to do with smithing, you can just collect the materials and bring them up. Master Baiyao has already taught me all his skills, if there are any refinements of divine weapons, you should reject them for now, I can’t refine divine weapons for now.” Ning Cheng said as he walked towards the first floor, while taking out the jade tablet of entry left to him by Master Baiyao.
“Yes, Senior Brother Ning.” Senior Sister Yan said respectfully with a smile as she watched Ning Cheng walk into the first floor, but in her heart she was thinking, no wonder Master had accepted him as a disciple. This Senior Brother and Master seemed to have some similarities, namely that his skin was a little thick.
When he arrived at the place where Zhong Li Bai had eaten the artifacts back then, Ning Cheng’s face, which was smiling just now, immediately sank.
Nonsense with Senior Sister Yan had indeed made him feel better in his heart. However, if he bullsh*tted further, the kind of helplessness and suffocation deep in his heart could not be dissipated. Strength, he had to have strength. Once the matter of the Immortal Jade Star was over, he would find a place to retreat.
