Muia Star Kun City, Ning Cheng had stayed here for two months, only at this time he had disguised himself as a yellow-faced middle-aged man. For two months, apart from inquiring about Ning Ruo Lan and Yan Ji, he was waiting for news of Qiong Hua and Luo Fei. Apart from that, he had also posted a message in Kuncheng’s guild, looking for a cultivator whose image was somewhat blurred.
When Ning Cheng had initially obtained a Golden Origin Crystal in the Border City, according to that cultivator, the Golden Origin Crystal had been given to him by someone else. As for the person who gave it to him, he could only draw such a blurred image.
During this period of time, he did not cultivate, and any free time he had was spent studying the book that Zhong Li Bai had given him to eat. Now his divine sense was more than ten times stronger than before, and in two months he had read this book on the basics of smithing five more times. If he read the book four more times, as Zhong Li Baiyao had meant, the book would be completely finished by him.
After reading this book six times, Ning Cheng had benefited greatly. Not only did he become acquainted with a large amount of refining materials, he also became familiar with various refining techniques, and methods of inscribing formations. Although he would not necessarily use the methods in this book to do so, the revelation to him was something that he could not figure out on his own in a short period of time.
Two months passed quickly and Ning Cheng did not find any news about Ning Ruolan and Yan Ji, but he did wait for a message from Ji Luofei. Ji Luofei and Shi Qionghua had already settled down in the Infinite Sacred Land, which put Ning Cheng’s mind at ease.
He decided to leave Kun City and then continue his search for the cultivator who had sent out the Golden Origin Crystal elsewhere. He possessed the Xuanhuang Pearl and did not dare to enter the Xuanhuang Pearl to cultivate because he was afraid that others would sense the Xuanhuang aura. Now he couldn’t bring anyone else with him, which made him depressed beyond belief. Today, the most important thing for him was for the Xuanhuang Pearl to gather the five elemental origins.
Just at this time, he received a message from the guild that someone knew the cultivator with the blurred image. Upon receiving this news, Ning Cheng immediately wanted to go to the Kuncheng Guild.
……
The Kuncheng Guild could post all kinds of news or quests. It was also possible to come and pick up various quests. There is no need for Star Coins to pick up a quest, as multiple people can pick it up at the same time, depending on the quest. But to post a message or a mission. You have to pay star coins.
Ning Cheng had originally only posted the news, and only after someone had taken up the quest and completed it. Only then did he need to come back to the guild. One of the reasons for coming to the guild was to give the guild part of the payment, and another was to meet with the cultivator who had taken the mission.
It was impossible for Ning Cheng not to be eager, if someone could really recognise that cultivator, it would mean that his search for the Golden Origin Pearl had advanced another step.
I wondered if the Gold Origin Pearl was on that cultivator’s suit, or if it was in one of the planets, just like the Earth Origin Pearl. When Ning Cheng thought of the Earth Origin Pearl, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Although he had obtained the Earth Origin Pearl, it was a decoy put down by a few Starry Sky Emperors. He was still reminded of it by Cang Wei. Only then was he alerted. This Golden Origin Pearl, would this be the case as well?
Whether it was or not, it was better for him to be careful. Ning Cheng once again turned back to the Rest Inn and disguised himself as a simple young man with only a Shattered Star cultivation before heading to the Guild once again.
……
After paying part of the star coins to the guild, Ning Cheng met with the cultivator who had taken the mission. This was a female cultivator with only a star gathering cultivation, a little thin-looking, with slightly yellow hair and a slightly green face. However, Ning Cheng had a vague feeling in his heart that this person was definitely more than the Gathering Star Realm. It was even much higher than the Gathering Star Realm.
This female cultivator looked at Ning Cheng and said with a frown, “I have asked. The person who posted this mission shouldn’t be you, right?”
Ning Cheng hurriedly lowered his posture and said in a respectful voice, “Senior, the one who issued the quest was my master. My master has gone to another star river and asked me to stay here for two months, and if there is no news in two months, I will also leave Kun Cheng. I have brought the million purple coins, I wonder if senior has any news of that person?”
“There is no exact news, but I met this cultivator a few years ago in the Sacred Kun City of the Naze Star in the Jingnan Star River. As for what his name is and exactly what he looks like, I don’t even know.” The female cultivator said in a faint voice as she stared at Ning Cheng.
“Many thanks senior. The junior will definitely bring this information to my master. This is the payment from my master, please check and accept it senior.” Ning Cheng did not ask any questions at all. He just took out one million star coins and sent it to this female cultivator.
According to reason, the answer this female cultivator gave did not say that she had completed this mission. But Ning Cheng still did not ask more questions. The reward was given directly.
This female cultivator originally wanted to teach Ning Cheng a lesson and then take Ning Cheng away when he said that the mission had been completed in an average manner and that he wanted less star coins. However, she did not expect that this little broken star would be so crisp and give the reward without asking half a word, so she could only coldly watch Ning Cheng’s back disappear from sight. This was Kun Cheng, so she did not dare to do anything recklessly yet.
An hour later, the female cultivator left Kun City and went straight out of Muia Star. Immediately after this female cultivator left, Ning Cheng changed into the dress of an old man and also exited Muia City.
Feeling that divine sense mark if any, Ning Cheng laughed coldly, even if you are cunning, you still have to drink Lao Zi’s footwash. He made his divine sense above the purple coin, even if this cultivator walked farther, he could still vaguely track it. Moreover, he was sure that this cultivator’s cultivation level was more than a star gathering, even higher than him.
A cultivator with a cultivation level higher than his would come here to do a mission for a mere million purple coins? It was even more unlikely that he would come here just to screw him out of this million purple coins. The quests Ning Cheng had posted were low level quests, and there was no thought of having those strong people come over to do them.
After following Ning Cheng for several days, he was even more convinced that his guess was correct. This female cultivator was very related to the cultivator who possessed the Gold Origin Crystal, as the direction this female cultivator went was heading to the Jingnan Star River. Obviously, the purpose of this female cultivator going to the Jingnan Star River was definitely him, Ning Cheng.
Although Ning Cheng had never been to the Jingnan Xinghe, he was somewhat familiar with it. When the King of Jingnan Star River had given him an image token, he had originally wanted to track him down. However, he had not expected that the image card had been used up by him in a trick. The King of the Jingnan Star River was infuriated, but he could not do anything to Ning Cheng for a while. Later, he could only instruct Ning Cheng to make a trip to the Jingnan Star River, no matter what.
Ning Cheng directly cast this admonition aside, he did not want to go to the Jingnan Star River until he had advanced to the Heavenly Plane Realm. Now that he was following this cultivator who might know about the Golden Origin Pearl, he had to come to the Jing Nan Xinghe.
What made Ning Cheng puzzled was that this female cultivator suddenly made a turn when she was approaching the Naze Star of the Jingnan Star River. Despite the doubt in his heart, Ning Cheng did not hesitate and also followed the turn.
Two days later, when Ning Cheng sensed that the other party had stopped, he hurriedly put away his Starry Sky Wheel and used his Sky Cloud Twin Wings to carefully conceal his traces as he approached the past. All this way, he had only followed his divine sense imprint and never dared to use his divine sense to sweep the other party, mainly because he was afraid that the other party would notice. Now that the other party had stopped, he naturally did not dare to continue using the Starry Sky Wheel.
An hour later, Ning Cheng stopped, he felt that something was wrong. He was confident in his divine sense, even if he was only at the Immortal Realm cultivation level, the divine sense that stretched out from his Starry Sky Sea of Consciousness was limited in distance even if it was not as good as a cultivator at the Heavenly Plane Realm.
And now, when his divine sense swept out, all he saw was a starry sky, completely devoid of anything, even the divine sense markings he had made on the star coins could not be felt. Even though he could not feel the divine sense markings, Ning Cheng still felt that the other party was not far away and should have disappeared just around here, this was an intuition.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng completely collected all his aura, concealed his form and slowly merged into the surrounding starry sky just like that.
One day, two days…… time passed little by little, Ning Cheng still waited patiently, he believed that his judgment was not wrong.
On the third day, Ning Cheng once again felt the divine sense markings he had made. Immediately afterwards, a human figure appeared under his concealed divine sense. Ning Cheng instantly withdrew his divine sense, this silhouette was too familiar to him, it was the blurred image he was looking for.
The female cultivator he had been chasing for days disappeared and then this cultivator he was looking for appeared. Ning Cheng was certain that this cultivator was the female cultivator.
This cultivator waved out a battleship and then stepped onto it, and this battleship quickly disappeared without a trace with him.
As this battleship disappeared, Ning Cheng felt that his divine sense mark was also getting farther and farther away from him.
Ning Cheng breathed out, the cultivator that had just left was indeed the female cultivator from before. The only purpose she had come here was to disguise her as the person she was looking for and then go to Sacred Kun City in the Naze Star and wait for him to appear.
Ning Cheng did not continue to follow this cultivator to Sacred Kun City, he directly rushed towards the location where this female cultivator had abruptly disappeared before.
If he hadn’t seen the female cultivator go in and disappear for two days, Ning Cheng wouldn’t have seen anything unusual even if he had come here. This was because his divine sense could not sweep anything around him, and he could not feel anything either. Coming here, he was at most just passing by occasionally.
But now Ning Cheng knew that there must be something here, it didn’t matter if he couldn’t feel it, he was still a king formation master who could set up a level four star river formation.
Array flags after array flags were thrown out by Ning Cheng, and one after another interference array was set up here by Ning Cheng. Half a day later, a vague formation gate appeared in front of Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng was pleasantly surprised in his heart, there was indeed a concealment here, this concealed formation door was not even visible to him, so it could be seen that the grade was definitely not low.
Originally Ning had thought that this was a hidden planet or a small celestial domain, but he did not expect it to be a formation gate. Apart from cultivation, what Ning Cheng studied most profoundly was formations. This formation gate he could see right away that it was a void formation gate.
A void formation gate was equivalent to a teleportation array, after entering this formation gate, one would be teleported to another place. Ning Cheng kept trying to throw out formation flags to find a way to open the formation gate.
If the Void Formation Gate was not deliberately locked by the person who had set it up, the chances of it opening were generally very high for a more skilled formation master after repeated and continuous trials.
Ning Cheng’s luck was good, after two days of repeatedly setting up formations, he finally opened a gap in this Void Formation Gate.
When the formation door was opened, Ning Cheng did not hesitate half a second, collected all the formation flags outside, and entered this void formation door with a flash of his body.
