Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept out over the sky, and all the prohibitions around him were useless to his divine sense. But he did not see any trace of Ning Ruolan, nor did he see the Helian Dai that Luyu had mentioned.
Ning Cheng walked into the merchant building that Luyu had pointed out, and there were many people inside, so it was evident that this merchant building was doing very good business. It was a merchant building that bought spiritual herbs and sold pills at the same time.
“Call the shopkeeper out.” Ning Cheng squeezed straight in and separated the crowd that was at the counter. Ruo Lan’s trail was broken here, so where was Ning Cheng’s patience to slowly stand in line.
The people who came here were all casual cultivators, and no one was willing to make trouble. Ning Cheng squeezed in with some fury, and without Ning Cheng even having to make a move, the cultivators in front of the counter automatically parted. Some of the less daring cultivators started to exit.
“Stand in line at the back, or else please go out. If you are causing trouble in our place, you have come to the wrong place.” When the mate saw Ning Cheng pushing the surrounding cultivators out of the way and even letting some business walk away, he shouted in displeasure. The shop was doing good business, one more Ning Cheng was not too much, and one less was fine.
Before Ning Cheng could say anything, Chasing Ox stepped forward and stamped his foot on the counter, “Didn’t you hear what the master said? Call your shopkeeper out. Old Bull is now counting to three, if the shopkeeper doesn’t arrive, Old Bull will demolish your shop.”
Chasing Ox had been with Ning Cheng for a long time and knew a bit about his master’s temper. This was the time to behave, otherwise his lordship would feel that he was useless and throw him into the ring again at the first sign of displeasure.
The chasing bull’s aura pressed over and the fellow immediately felt the difficulty of breathing. He didn’t even wait for Chasing Ox to say it a second time and hurriedly took out his communication beads and sent out a few messages.
“Chasing Ox, take the hoof down and ask for clarification before speaking.” Ning Cheng saw that the fellow had sent out a message and tapped Chasing Ox.
“Yes, Master.” Chasing Bull completely ignored the gazes around it and respectfully put away its hooves, but in its heart it was smug. It was thinking that it really hadn’t done anything wrong this time, and if it had, Master would have given it a slap, definitely not a light one. It looks like his skills in pleasing his master are increasing, how will those little bees be able to keep up with him in the future?
The shopkeeper soon came down, an elegant man with a goatee and peak cultivation of the Heavenly Fate realm.
“Friend, may I ask what our shop can do to help you.” This shopkeeper was much more discerning than the fellow, and as soon as he came out, he cupped his fist and said to Ning Cheng. He did not see Ning Cheng’s cultivation level, but Chasing Ox’s cultivation aura was clearly no less than his. With such a beast pet, this owner would definitely not be bad, and would be at least at the late Heavenly Fate realm. As for the Heavenly Rank, that should still be less than that. He could tell that Ning Cheng was not very old, the cultivation of starry sky cultivators was all piled up over the years, there was no casual success.
Ning Cheng asked in an even tone, “How long have you been moving this shop?”
This goat-bearded shopkeeper suddenly had a ‘thud’ in his heart for no reason, a bad premonition rising up. But he still answered politely, “I’ve been here for less than three months.”
“The Phantom Shadow Sanctuary opened a long time ago, how did you come so late to have such a good land?” Ning Cheng stared at the shopkeeper’s eyes and asked in a stern voice.
The goat-bearded shopkeeper winced, and then thought to himself who was afraid of him? Even if this was a Heavenly Realm cultivator, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to him. Behind him as usual was a Heavenly Realm powerhouse, and he was still in the middle of the Heavenly Realm.
Once the fear in his heart went away, this goatee’s voice became louder, “Friend, how I got this land seems to have nothing to do with you, right? This shop of mine is a branch of the Zhuo River Chamber of Commerce, so if you have any questions, you can go to the Zhuo River Chamber of Commerce and ask.”
Lu Yu, who was following Ning Cheng, hurriedly said, “Senior, the Zhuo River Chamber of Commerce is one of the five major chambers of commerce in the Kun Zhuo Star River. The head of the Chamber, Fu Yinghe, is even a Heavenly Realm powerhouse ……”
The fellow grunted disdainfully when he heard Luyu’s worried voice.
Ning Cheng nodded, still staring at this goatee shopkeeper and said, “How did I hear that this merchant building of yours was robbed? One of the shop owners in front of it is called Helian Mingqi and Helian Dai.”
Seeing that Ning Cheng had told the truth, the goat-bearded man simply turned cold in his tone and said, “This is a matter for me, Kun Zhuo Xinghe, and it is not for you to ask more questions. Now please go out, you are not welcome here, we have business to do in the Merchant House.”
With a lift of his foot, Chasing Ox stepped on the counter, which was completely shattered by Chasing Ox’s foot this time, “Goatee, it is your good fortune that the old master asked you a question. The Master has a good temper, but I, Old Bull, have a bad temper, are you trying to challenge my Old Bull’s bottom line?”
After saying that, Chasing Ox kicked twice more, directly kicking down all the sample cabinets inside this counter, and in a moment, the back of this counter was in a mess.
This time Ning Cheng did not speak at all, if Helian Dai had walked away from the formal transaction, this goat-bearded shopkeeper would definitely have told the truth. Now the goat-beard’s words were flickering, it was obvious that the previous shop had been forced out by them.
“You ……” Seeing how reckless Chasing Ox was, this goat-bearded shopkeeper’s face finally changed, he had already seen that Ning Cheng was not afraid of their Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce at all. At this moment, he couldn’t even send a communication and directly sacrificed a flying sword.
Ning Cheng didn’t even care that the goat-bearded shopkeeper had sacrificed a flying sword, but turned to the cultivators watching inside and said, “Whoever here can say how this merchant building came to be, I will give away a medium-grade flying dao weapon.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng raised his hand and threw out a Dao weapon airship, which was exquisite, and the Dao rhythm aura flowed through the airship, so that divine sense could not penetrate into it at all. When the surrounding cultivators took a look, they knew that it was a very good mid-grade Dao weapon airship.
In fact even the worst piece of medium-grade Dao Artefact airship would drive the people here crazy, let alone the Dao Artefact airship Ning Cheng took out which was of such a high quality grade?
“I know ……”
“I know that too ……”
At one point, more than a dozen people stepped forward and shouted.
No matter how famous the Zhuo River Chamber of Commerce was, it could not stop these cultivators from loving the Dao Artifact Airship that Ning Cheng took out. Even Lu Yu and Dong Gravel, who were standing behind Ning Cheng, had a hot glow seeping out of their eyes. A medium grade Dao weapon airship? How many years would it take to save enough star coins to buy one?
To a starry sky cultivator, a good flying magic treasure meant a more powerful means of preserving one’s life.
“You say.” Ning Cheng pointed at a peak Heavenly Fate cultivator with a fierce face and said.
The reason why he pointed at this cultivator was because a middle grade Dao weapon airship was too attractive for an ordinary cultivator. If a cultivator with a lower cultivation level got it in his hands, he might not be able to keep it and give his life away.
Hearing Ning Cheng’s words, this peak Heavenly Destiny cultivator excitedly squeezed to the front and said, “Senior, I know this matter very well. Previously, there was a wine shop here that was run by three people. The owner of the shop was Helian Ming Zhi, I am not sure what the other two were called, but they were two female cultivators, neither of whom had a high cultivation level. The Kun Zhuo Chamber of Commerce came here a little late and didn’t occupy a place, so they forced the three out.
At that time, Helian Mingqi was a bit slow in walking and as a result, he was injured, and the one who injured Helian Mingqi was the Quan boss. After Helian Mingqi was injured, those two female cultivators took Helian Mingqi far away immediately, and as for where they went, I don’t know. In fact, the place occupied by this merchant building was not just one shop of Helian Mingqi, but several shops of the surrounding loose cultivators were occupied.”
Coldness seeped out of Ning Cheng’s eyes as he looked at the goatee, “You are the Quan Master.”
A hint of fear flashed in Goat Whiskers’ eyes, and before he could answer, the peak Heavenly Destiny Realm cultivator who had told Ning Cheng the question said, “That’s right, he is Master Quan.”
Once Ning Cheng took a look at Goatee’s expression, he knew that this Heavenly Destiny Realm cultivator was not lying. With a wave of his hand, the Medium Grade Dao Artifact Airship fell into the hands of this Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator, “This belongs to you, the rest of you exit this place.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng reached out and slapped out, Goat Whiskers let out a miserable cry and was directly blown out of the shop, the shop was also destroyed by this slap from Ning Cheng.
“With a flop ……”, when Goat Whiskers fell to the ground, his meridians were broken and his cultivation had all been destroyed by Ning Cheng.
The cultivators who originally did not know what had happened, all crowded over when Goat Whiskers was blasted out and Ning Cheng destroyed the shop.
The cultivators who came out from inside the shop then told what had happened before, and it did not take much time for almost all the cultivators in the area to learn that the shop that had been driven out by the Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce also had a backstage. Now that the backstage had come to settle the score, there was bound to be a battle of dragons and tigers with the Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce.
All the people looked at Ning Cheng who walked out of the Broken Merchant Building, no one knew what Ning Cheng wanted to do. More than that, they were amazed at where this person had come from, how dare he directly provoke one of the five major chambers of commerce of the Kun Zhuo Star River, the Zhuo River Chamber of Commerce.
It was normal for the Zhuo River Chamber of Commerce to chase away other casual practitioners doing business. It would be abnormal if the Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce didn’t chase away the casual cultivators who were occupying good positions even though there were no more positions here.
But to come here and chase away the Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce’s business building, and to tear it down, that’s not normal.
Ning Cheng said to those cultivators who were gathered around, “Friends, please stand back and give up this area, I want to set up an array.”
Ning Cheng had even demolished the Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce’s merchant building, so no one dared to keep out of the way.
When the crowd gave up the ground, Ning Cheng once again waved his hand, and the merchant building, which had not completely collapsed, was completely turned into a ruin. After blasting the merchant building all to pieces, Ning Cheng then continued, “Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce has forcibly occupied the land of the wine shop where my friend is located, today I will take the land back again ……”
Although everyone appreciated what Ning Cheng had done from the bottom of their hearts, no one stood out to agree. What was the Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce? No one would antagonize the Zhuo River Chamber of Commerce over a few words for no reason.
“From today onwards, this place will once again become the City Ruo Lan Restaurant. As for the Zhuo River Chamber of Commerce, it will soon disappear from Muia Star, no, from the Kun Zhuo Star River.”
With these words from Ning Cheng, the chattering and chattering voices disappeared. The scene became incomparably silent, these words were tantamount to an unending feud with the Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce. If it was just a matter of fighting over the territory, it could still be discussed and it could be resolved by compensating each other for the losses. But to say that the Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce should disappear, this was a big feud. What kind of cultivator did this come from that spoke with such disregard for consequences?
“You have the guts to speak with such gusto? I, Fu Yinghe, have come here on purpose today to see what methods you use to make my Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce disappear. Don’t let you disappear first before my Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce disappears.” An icy and angry voice came out, followed by a middle-aged man in brown cultivator robes landing on top of the merchant building that had been blown apart by Ning Cheng.
“Zhuohe Chamber of Commerce’s Guild Master, Fu Yinghe, is here.” Immediately, someone in the crowd whispered out.
