To Ning Cheng’s credit, Man Lun the Great had only glanced his way before withdrawing his gaze, apparently not recognising who he was.
As several more Star Wheel powerful cultivators walked into the Zu Tian Refining Pool, Ning Cheng asked Cen Yan who was beside him in a small voice, “Senior Sister Yan, there are only two of us tiny Star Peeping cultivators coming to compete with others, why are there so many powerful people coming over? This doesn’t seem right?”
Cen Yan obviously sensed something was wrong as well, and replied somewhat breathlessly, “I’m not really sure, I only know that Master and that Jin Ming Qianbo have quite a bit of hatred. I thought that Master had taken you as a disciple just to compete with the Jin Ming Qian Bo disciple, not to the extent that Master hadn’t returned after Jin Ming Qian Bo had arrived.”
“Haha, good guts, you really dare to come, congratulations!” An abrupt voice laughed loudly behind Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng turned around and saw a red-faced, thick-lipped male cultivator and a very petite looking female cultivator walking over, and it was the male cultivator who spoke.
Senior Sister Yan’s face looked a little ugly as she transmitted a voice to Ning Cheng and said, “These two people are the disciples of Jin Ming Qian Bo, one is called Si Kou Bing and the other is Xiang Sha. They were the ones who went to threaten me, admitting defeat if they didn’t dare to come to the tournament. If we admit defeat, we will have to give up the White Food Alchemy Shop, as well as kneel down to Jin Ming Qian Bo again in the name of our master.”
“Then why did you agree, could it be that in Zu Tian Star City, they still dare to grab the Alchemy Shop and make a move?” Ning Cheng said with a frown.
Cen Yan sighed, “Senior brother, when Master had defeated Jin Ming Qian Bo back then, he had ridiculed Jin Ming Qian Bo. Saying that by virtue of a trash like Jin Ming Qian Bo, he had never put it in his eyes. And pointed at Jin Ming Qian Bo’s nose and said, ‘Go back and learn a few hundred years more over, and come back to challenge my disciple after a hundred years, my disciple will accept your challenge anytime.’
Jin Ming Qian Bo didn’t say a word at that time, turned around and left. At the same time, he left a message, ‘In a hundred years, I will definitely come again. If you or your disciples are afraid to accept the challenge. Then get out of Zu Tian Star City and every blade of grass you have here is mine, Jin Ming Qian Bo’s.'”
Ning Cheng scolded in a very unpleasant manner. “This guy should be called Zhong Li Idiot, not Bai Yi.”
To Ning Cheng calling his master an idiot, Cen Yan did not feel wrong and helplessly said, “So this time, when a disciple of the Golden Ming Submerged Bo comes to challenge me, I dare not not accept it. It’s a small matter to apologize for not taking it, and to leave the White Food Alchemy Shop. Master knows that a hundred years have passed, and should have taken you in for this competition. How come you haven’t returned by now? Alas!”
Ning Cheng asked in confusion, “This Jin Ming Qianbo is so tasteless that he even challenges his disciples? Is it really for the sake of fighting for a breath of fresh air? Or does he want that freeloading alchemy shop? Didn’t you say that back then, Master won away a very precious treasure, and now that Master isn’t here, even if his disciple wins, it doesn’t mean that he is better than Master Baiyao, right? What’s more, he won’t get that item either, right?”
Cen Yan shook her head, “I don’t understand this matter either, if it really doesn’t work, we’ll just lose in a better looking way. Give him the alchemy shop for nothing. It doesn’t matter.”
As the two of them spoke, they had already walked inside the Zetian Refining Pool.
Only after Ning Cheng entered did he realize why this place was called the Zu Tian Alchemy Pool. This was really a pool. In the middle of this pool were more than a dozen artefact refining bits. Next to each of the bits was a crystal-shaped sealing formation. Inside the crystal formation, there was a mass of flames, all kinds of flames.
“It looks like there are ready-made flames here, will we use these flames to refine weapons later?” Ning Cheng said, while thinking in his heart that if everyone didn’t use their own flames and used the flames here, he might be able to refine a top grade Dao weapon as well. As long as he could refine a top grade dao weapon, even if he lost. It wouldn’t be too ugly.
“The flames here are hard to control and definitely cannot be compared to one’s own flames. When it comes to the refining competition. The flames here, and your own flames can be chosen either way.” Cen Yan immediately explained.
More and more cultivators walked into the Zu Tian Alchemy Pool. Right above the Zu Tian Alchemy Pool was a row of high seats, which should be where the judges sat. Around the edge of the pool, there were also many seats, and these should be where the audience sat.
Ning Cheng was surprised to find that the Man Lun Emperor could only sit in the audience seats as well. Moreover, many of the cultivators who came in one after another were no worse than Man Lun the Great.
There was also that Su Dai who had also come, and she was following behind a middle-aged man. The Star Wheel behind this middle-aged man was basically invisible as traces of the inter-wheel, so it was evident that he was at least a strong person of the Life and Death realm. Ning Cheng reckoned that this middle-aged man should be Su Dai’s Guild Master’s old man, the same guy who wanted to see him.
At this moment, a middle-aged Confucian scholar walked in, and behind him followed a multitude of strong people, a strong star wheel aura that made people tremble.
The cultivators who had come to the Zetian Refining Pool first all stood up, and it was the Great Man Lun who also stood up.
Cen Yan whispered in Ning Cheng’s ear, “This is the Piercing Heart Tower Emperor of the Heart Tower Emperor Mountain, the number one powerhouse of my Great Central Heaven Starry Sky. Also behind him, the old man wearing red clothes and also with a face full of red was Jin Ming Qian Bo. The senior next to Jin Ming Qian Bo is the Patriarch of the Zhongtian Star Land Star Weapon God Sect, Red Cloud Eight Yan ……”
Even though Cen Yan very quietly whispered in Ning Cheng’s ear that Jin Ming Qian Bo was the old man, Jin Ming Qian Bo still swept his cold eyes over. When Cen Yan was swept by such a gaze, it was as if she had been stabbed with dozens of ice blades, her face paled and she could no longer say the words that followed.
Perhaps it was because Cen Yan called out to Senior Chikyuun Bajeyan, Chikyuun Bajeyan raised his hand and with a wave, Jin Ming Qianbo’s oppression immediately disappeared. Red Cloud Bajeyan chuckled, “Brother Qian Bo you can’t do something similar to your name, to exert pressure on a stargazing junior can be really shallow.”
Jin Ming Qian Bo harrumphed, “How can I be bothered with a late generation, this time Zhong Li Bai Eating does not dare to come out, good thing he also sent two disciples to compete with my disciples. Then we will put an end to this public case today, lest I keep it on my mind. The match a hundred years ago was witnessed by Brother Xinlou and Brother Bayan. Today, my disciple is competing with Zhongli Baiyao’s disciple, and I also condescend to have a few brothers witness it.”
After saying this, Jin Ming Qian Bo gave a fist hug to the surrounding area, “Thank you all Great Emperors and Dao friends of the realm of the realm for coming to witness the match, whether I, Jin Ming Qian Bo, lose or win, I am willing to refine magic treasures for all Dao friends for free for a while.”
“Brother Jin Ming, Zhong Li Bai Eating is not here today, would this not be very generous of you?” A shrill voice spoke up.
Jin Ming Qian Bo sneered, “Back then, Zhong Li Idiot chased me out of Zu Tian Star City as if he was chasing away a dog. He said that in a hundred years, I could come here to challenge him, and now I’m here. Since he shrunk and didn’t dare to come out, I can only drive his disciples away like dogs. As for the Idiot Alchemy Shop, let’s replace it with the Golden Ming Alchemy Shop in the future.”
He knew that Zhong Li Idiot had been refining weapons in Zuotian Starry Sky City for a hundred years and had many people speaking for him. But many of the cultivators here he had come over without inviting, and these guys weren’t interested in the two disciples’ smithing competition. The thing these people were interested in was the precious treasure that Zhong Li Baiyao had won back then, a treasure that even he and Zhong Li Baiyao had fought over, could it be simple?
However, if you want to know about this treasure, then don’t dream about it.
“I heard that you lost a very precious treasure to Zhong Li Bai Eating back then, and I came here today to see this treasure. I think everyone else will be like me in general.” A cultivator sitting in the audience said with a heated laugh, not caring about Jin Ming Qian Bo at all.
“That’s right ……” The rest of the people immediately agreed with this cultivator. It would be strange if a wealthy cultivator like Jin Ming Qian Bo, who had not forgotten the treasure after a hundred years, was simple. Just as Jin Ming Qian Bo had guessed, not many had really come to see the smithing competition, but to see that treasure. Everyone knew that Jin Ming Qian Bo was definitely not just looking for revenge. If Jin Ming Qian Bo was really looking for revenge, he would definitely not be looking for Zhong Li Bai Yi’s disciples.
Not to mention these cultivators, even Ning Cheng wanted to know what kind of treasure Zhong Li Bai Eating had won back then.
Jin Ming Qian Bo said in a light voice, “Zhong Li Idiot is not here, even if my disciple had won, there is no way to show this treasure to everyone. In order not to waste everyone’s time, the match will start now.”
“Hold on, I, Le Wu, will also be participating in this tournament, and of course I am letting my disciple compete.” A pointy-headed man walked in, and behind this pointy-headed man, there was a tiger-backed youth.
This pointy-headed man finished and then gave a distant fist to Piercing Heart House, “Le Wu has come unannounced, so please forgive me, Grand Emperor Heart House.”
“Le Wu, you are from the Great Star of the Demon Domain, what kind of competition have you come here for? What’s more, we’re just settling a grudge.” Jin Ming Qian Bo’s face turned cold.
The pointy-headed man knew that he must tell the truth today, or else he would not stand a chance at all, and he clasped his fist to the surroundings, “Fellow Daoists, although I, Le Wu, am from the Demon Domain. But now that the four great starspaces are joining forces, my Demon Domain and the Great Starspaces of the Middle Heaven are considered friends. My requirements for entering the competition are the same as Jin Ming’s, I want Zhong Li Bai’s Alchemy Shop if I win, I don’t want anything else.”
There were no fools here, as soon as Le Wu said this, all the people thought of the extraordinary smith shop that Zhong Li Bai Eats. Otherwise, there was no way that Le Wu would have come to this place to participate in the competition for the sake of a smith shop. But to say that that smith shop was the treasure back then was a bit too outrageous.
Those with low cultivation did not know Le Wu, there was not a single cultivator here who did not know Le Wu above the Heavenly Plane realm. This man was the number one artifact refiner in the Demon Domain Great Starry Sky, and it could be said that his artifact refining status in the Demon Domain Great Starry Sky would not be half a point worse than Zhong Li Bai Eating.
Piercing Heart Lou suddenly said, ”Le Wu, since you want Zhong Li Bai Eating’s alchemy shop, tell me the reason why. As long as you can tell me the reason, I will agree to your participation in this competition.”
Jin Ming Qian Bo’s face changed, he knew that his smithing skills far surpassed that of Piercing Heart Lou, but when it came to his true cultivation, he was nowhere near Piercing Heart Lou. At this moment, when Piercing Heart Tower spoke, he could only shut up.
Le Wu looked at Jin Ming Qian Bo and said, “Because back then, the treasures that Jin Ming Qian Bo and Zhong Li ate for nothing in the competition were the White Food Alchemy Shop.”
