Despite sensing Duan Gantai’s location, Ning Cheng still left Jiangzhou Star after arranging Shen Mengyan and the others, and then explained to Cang Caihe.
With Cang Caihe, a late Eternal Realm powerhouse, and a few Heavenly Realm powerhouses, there would never be any problems with the Jiangzhou Star.
Ning Cheng sensed Duan Gantai’s trail, and similarly, Duan Gantai also sensed Ning Cheng’s trail. This made Duan Gantai overjoyed, he had just made a big fortune alone, and then he had news of Ning Cheng. What could be more delightful than this?
Originally, even if there was no news of Ning Cheng, he had planned to come to the Jiangzhou Star to look for Ning Cheng. Unexpectedly, before he had even arrived at Jiangzhou Star, Ning Cheng had appeared. He also knew that since Ning Cheng had opened the Tethered God Silk, it meant that Ning Cheng also wanted to look for him. Knowing that Ning Cheng was looking for him, Duan Gantai was also impatient to come to Jiangzhou Star.
After Ning Cheng had arranged Shen Mengyan and the others for this point in time, Duan Gantai appeared in the star square outside the Jiangzhou Star’s star protection formation.
“Brother Duan, it’s been a long time, what a pleasure to meet you.” Ning Cheng greeted Duan Gantai on the star square from afar, and he was amazed in his heart. He sensed Duan Gantai’s location, even if he had arrived at the Jiangzhou Star from Duan Gantai’s location, it would not be possible for him to do so so quickly.
What shocked Ning Cheng even more was that Duan Gantai’s current cultivation level was not weaker than his in the slightest, he was also in the middle stage of the Life and Death realm. He had cultivated in the Xuanhuang Pearl, with the help of the Xuanhuang Origin, and with the support of the Starry Sky Yuan Qi Veins and countless Constant Element Pills, which had allowed him to advance to the middle stage of the Life and Death Realm so quickly. How was it that Duan Gantai was able to keep up with him so quickly?
Ning Cheng was shocked and Duan Gantai was equally shocked. He could not clearly see Ning Cheng’s cultivation level, but he could vaguely sense that Ning Cheng’s cultivation level was not lower than his, or even a little higher. He originally thought that his cultivation level would soon leave Ning Cheng behind by a hundred thousand miles, but the truth was that not only was Ning Cheng’s cultivation level not left behind by him, it was now showing signs of overtaking him.
He was still able to rush into the middle stage of the Life and Death realm in such a short period of time because of a chance he had not long ago. It was the fact that he had obtained some of the foreign treasures of the Watchtower Hall, one of the three halls in the Man Lun Starry Sky, that had allowed him to advance to the middle stage of the Life and Death realm. What was it that Ning Cheng relied on? How did he advance so quickly in his cultivation speed?
It was a pity that he did not have the real Mo Xiang Yi Wine, otherwise, he could definitely open up the deeper parts of the Watchtower Divine Hall and obtain something better. Opening the inner hall of the Watchtower Divine Hall required a divine ability, the Mo Xiyi divine ability. Despite the detailed description of the Mo Xiyi Avatar engraved on the entrance of the inner hall, he still could not comprehend this Avatar without Mo Xiyi Wine.
Duan Gantai believed that with his intelligence and qualifications, he would definitely be able to comprehend the Mo Xiang Yi divine ability as long as he had a pot of Mo Xiang Yi wine.
“Haha, Brother Ning, I had some problems with my Tethered Divine Silk, but it’s good that it’s finally okay.” Duan Gantai laughed and greeted him with equal enthusiasm.
Ning Cheng felt the fluctuations of star energy on Duan Gantai’s body and gave a heated laugh, “Brother Duan has had quite a lot of luck lately, my luck was much worse, entering the Phantom Shadow Holy Hall and almost giving up my life. By the way, Brother Duan has been in the Man Lun Starspace recently, you wouldn’t have found the Watchtower Hall, would you?”
Duan Gantai was startled in his heart and hurriedly laughed dryly a few times, “How is that possible, the Hall of the Watching God is one of the three great halls of Man Lun, and is even above the Hall of Time. Even if I found it, I alone would not be able to get it. Brother Ning, we are old friends, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, why don’t we find a place to have a few drinks first?”
Ning Cheng did not doubt Duan Gantai’s words, he was puzzling over how to ask Duan Gantai for that one boundary breaking talisman, but he did not expect Duan Gantai to propose him to go for a drink.
He was about to say yes, when the words came to his lips, his heart suddenly moved. Duan Gantai had come to him so eagerly, so it was logical that the first thing he would propose would be to join forces to go to the Hall of Time, so how could he propose drinking? Besides, how did Duan Gantai get here so quickly?
After swallowing what he was about to say, Ning Cheng sighed and said, “Alas, Brother Duan, I actually hate to go have a drink with Brother Duan right away and then go to the Time Temple. It’s a pity that ……”
Duan Gantai’s heart was suddenly a bit shadowed, he had asked Ning Cheng to go for a drink, naturally he wanted to lure out Mo Xiangyi through wine. Then he would think of a way to make Ning Cheng offer some to him, the excuse was naturally that he liked Mo Xiangyi wine too much.
He had long guessed that Zhu Zhenfeng of the Xiang Yi Chamber of Commerce had been taken out by Ning Cheng from the last time Ning Cheng took out Mo Xiang Yi’s banquet for the Penetrating Heart House and the others, and even the things on Zhu Zhenfeng’s body had been taken away by Ning Cheng. In other words, if he wanted Mo Xiang Yi, he could only look for Ning Cheng.
Duan Gantai was both shocked and admired at the same time when Ning Cheng was able to finish off Zhu Zhenfeng. If Zhu Zhenfeng was so easily *felled*, he would have finished off Zhu Zhenfeng long ago. Unexpectedly, before he had made his move, Ning Cheng had done it first.
“What’s the pity? Does Brother Ning have something difficult to do? If Brother Ning doesn’t mind, you can tell brother, as long as brother can help, brother will never resist.” Duan Gantai patted his chest and said impassionedly.
Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, “Let me ask, how did Brother Duan arrive here so quickly?”
Duan Gantai laughed and made an extremely embarrassed and naive head-touching gesture, “I knew that my speed was slow and was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to meet Brother Ning for a while, so I simply set up a temporary teleportation formation outside of the Jiangzhou Star where Brother Ning is. Luckily, my formation level progressed okay ……”
Hearing this, Ning Cheng’s heart dawned on him, with Duan Gantai’s shrewdness and cunning, he should have thought of this a long time ago.
Duan Gantai continued to say nervously, “I just realized that this point of my formation level is nothing compared to Brother Ning. Brother Ning can even set up the Great Star Protection Formation, so I’m really ashamed of myself.”
After failing to find him several times, Duan Gantai had gone so far as to use the method of setting up a transmission formation to quickly block his path. However, Ning Cheng also knew from Duan Gantai’s mouth that Duan Gantai was not sure if this Great Star Protection Formation was set up by himself alone. Thinking of this, he simply said, “This Great Star Protection Formation also has help, I can’t set it up alone, Brother Duan thinks highly of me.”
Duan Gantai was not sure if what Ning Cheng said was true or not, he said with a straight face, “Brother Ning, no matter what, the fact that you were able to have a star river in a short period of time, and even more so, establish a sect, are all things that I should learn to strive for. Compared to Brother Ning, I just find that I’ve been fooling around.”
Ning Cheng waved his hand, not wanting to be hypocritical with Duan Gantai like this, he simply said, “I am going to a place and lack a boundary breaking talisman, I heard that Brother Duan has one of these boundary breaking talismans, I wonder if Brother Duan can cut it ……”
When Duan Gantai heard that Ning Cheng wanted a boundary breaking talisman, his heart became torn. It had been so hard for him to obtain this boundary breaking talisman, and now that Ning Cheng wanted it, would he give it or not? If not, now Mo Xiang Yi only had it on Ning Cheng. If he didn’t give the boundary breaking talisman to Ning Cheng and wanted to ask Ning Cheng for something, then don’t even think about it.
“I do have a Boundary Breaking Talisman, or the one obtained by Yu’s Corner. It’s just that I promised a friend that I was going to give it to him, and he said that he would help me get a dozen pots of Mo Xiang Yi Wine. If not for that, I would have given this talisman directly to Brother Ning.” Duan Gantai hesitated for a moment and said with some difficulty.
For the sake of this boundary-breaking talisman, Ning Cheng had even planned to give up some of the Time Hall’s stuff, and was even prepared to give another Time Hall key to Duan Gantai. To his surprise, Duan Gantai did not say anything about the Time Hall, instead he said Mo Xieyi Wine. Mo Xiang Yi Wine was also just something to drink, at best it could give one a deeper experience of the Mo Xiang Yi Avatar.
Duan Gantai did not know the Mo Xiyi Avatar, so what did he need Mo Xiyi Wine for? And more than a dozen pots? Besides, even a dozen pots of Mo Xiyi Wine would not be worth as much as a single Boundary Breaking Talisman, right? Unless, of course, he took out the truly superb Mo Xiang Yi Wine that he had obtained in the Mo Family’s secret chamber.
These thoughts were only a mere flash in Ning Cheng’s mind before he smiled and said, “That’s a pity, I only have three pots of Mo Xiyi Wine, otherwise I could give it to Brother Duan for free.”
Duan Gantai cursed Ning Cheng in his heart for being shameless, wanting his Boundary Breaking Talisman for three pots of Mo Xiang Yi, this was simply a bit too dark. However, he still suppressed this displeasure when he thought of the things from the Watchtower Divine Hall. Not to mention three pots of Mo Xiang Yi wine, even if it was one pot of Mo Xiang Yi, as long as it allowed him to comprehend the Mo Xiang Yi divine ability and allowed him to enter the inner sanctum of the Watchtower Divine Hall, he could only hold his nose and exchange it.
“Three pots of Mo Xiang Yi is better than none, thanks to Brother Ning for giving it to me for free.” Duan Gantai hurriedly thanked.
Ning Cheng also said politely, “Alright, alright, this is a small matter.”
When Duan Gantai saw that Ning Cheng did not have any half-hearted approach of taking out the Mo Xiang Yi wine, he knew that Ning Cheng’s skin would not be thinner than his, and that it would be impossible to pin Ning Cheng down with words. He could only first take out a jade box and open it and hover it in front of him, “Ning Cheng has even given me three pots of Mo Xiang Yi for free, so I don’t care about that friend. Who let me and Brother Ning meet at first sight, this boundary breaking talisman will be given to Brother Ning.”
Saying this, he did not, in fact, hand the box to Ning Cheng. In the same way that Ning Cheng did not trust him, he did not trust Ning Cheng either.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense landed in that jade box and was certain that it was a boundary breaking talisman. He also very simply took out the three pots of Mo Xiang Yi and suspended them in front of him. What he took out was the Mo Xiang Yi from Zhu Zhenfeng’s ring, as for the real extremely high quality Mo Xiang Yi, that Duan Gantai should not think about it.
Both of them quickly got what they wanted and then both were happy. Duan Gantai even felt that the Mo Xiang Yi given by Ning Cheng was a bit higher grade than the real Mo Xiang Yi he had drunk, which made him feel a bit strange.
“Brother Ning, originally I was supposed to find you to go to the Time Hall, but unfortunately I have to give Mo Xiang Yi to someone else, so I can only meet up with Brother Ning after this time.” Duan Gantai said with a sigh even after putting away the three pots of Mo Xiang Yi.
Ning Cheng was even more suspicious in his heart, what exactly did this Duan Gantai want? Was it more important than entering the Time Hall? Despite his doubts, Ning Cheng did not ask, he knew very well that it would be futile to ask.
Duan Gantai and Ning Cheng once again exchanged a few polite words before quickly launching his flying magic treasure and leaving. In just one incense stick’s time, Ning Cheng could no longer sense Duan Gantai’s tethered divine silk. Ning Cheng knew that this fellow had blocked the connection of the Tethered God Silk again, so Duan Gantai had definitely gone to do something unseen.
Ning Cheng was so helpless that he could only block his own God Tether. A cunning fellow like Duan Gantai would never be followed by him.
Now that the Boundary Breaking Talisman had arrived, if Duan Gantai did not go to the Hall of Time, should he first go to the Yixing Continent? Ning Cheng had a headache when he thought of the rule suppression in the Yixing Continent.
