“What do I have to wait for? I’ve already paid 10,000 Heng Yuan Dan for entering the Scentless Sect, could it be that I still have to pay Heng Yuan Dan for coming out?” Ning Cheng’s face sank, was it going to be hard?
The middle-aged female cultivator hurriedly said, “Of course not, how would I, the Traceless Immortal Pond, ask a guest who came out for a Heng Yuan Dan? I’m sure this friend also knows that. My Traceless Immortal Pond also has a mission, all those who enter the Traceless Sect and bring out my Traceless Sect disciples are rewarded with some Heng Yuan Dan. You have already completed this mission by bringing out our Scentless Immortal Pond’s holy maiden, so we naturally cannot let you leave the Scentless Immortal Pond empty-handed.”
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, he did not believe that the Scentless Immortal Pond was so kind, and in a tone that did not care, he asked, “I wonder how much reward there is for bringing back the Saint Maiden of the Scentless Immortal Pond? If it’s too little, I’m not interested in taking it.”
&&. {m}nbsp;Other people did not know that Ning Cheng was rich, but this middle-aged female cultivator naturally knew how rich Ning Cheng was. When Ning Cheng first took out 500,000 Heng Yuan Dan to purchase the jade slip, he did not even blink.
When this middle-aged female cultivator wanted to speak, Ning Cheng suddenly interrupted her, “Is the most honored one inside the Traceless Immortal Pond Lost in the Traceless Sect, the Mann Sainted Maiden that I brought out?”
The middle-aged female cultivator gave a slight pause and understood Ning Cheng’s meaning, she still nodded and said, “You are right, in the Traceless Sect, Saintess Mann is the most honored one in my Traceless Immortal Pond.”
Ning Cheng said in a daze, “When I went in, Daoist Friend said that the disciples who brought out the Scentless Immortal Pond were rewarded with a minimum of 100,000 Heng Yuan Dan and a maximum of 100 million Heng Yuan Dan. I brought out Saintess Mann, is it possible that I can get a reward of 100 million Heng Yuan Dan this time?”
The middle-aged female cultivator smiled lightly, “Daoist friend is right, indeed you can get a reward of one hundred million Heng Yuan Dan.”
The other three Eternal Realm cultivators who had come to greet Zhai Chu Man had calm expressions. They did not feel that what the middle-aged female cultivator said was outrageous. Instead, Zhai Chu Man looked at the middle-aged female cultivator in surprise. One hundred million Heng Yuan Dan. This was simply a bit too frightening.
Even Xiong Wuzhi and Bian Zhuo looked at Ning Cheng in shock, hundreds of millions of Heng Yuan Dan, how much was that?
Once Ning Cheng took a look at Zhai Chu Man’s expression, he knew that Zhai Chu Man did not know about the matter of the Immortal Pond of No Trace opening a black shop, which made Ning Cheng’s opinion of Zhai Chu Man a little better.
“Then lead the way, I’ll go and collect the Heng Yuan Dan before I leave. Even though I am rich, I am not so unmoved in the face of 100 million Heng Yuan Pills.” Ning Cheng stopped and simply revealed that he was rich. Since he was going to make a move. Then there was nothing to be polite about.
He was sure that this middle-aged female cultivator would not be so kind as to take the initiative to give him hundreds of millions of constant yuan pills, this was clearly a situation where he wanted to make a move against him. If he offended himself, Ning Cheng had never been a nice gentleman who rested on his laurels. If the Scentless Immortal Pool really kept its promise and took out so many Heng Yuan Pills, he would just pretend that nothing had happened. If the Scentless Immortal Pool dared to make a move against him, exterminating a Scentless Immortal Pool would also create some benefits for the cultivators in the starry sky and himself.
Following the middle-aged female cultivator who had led the way, he once again walked through the chain and nothing unexpected happened in between. Ning Cheng reckoned that because the Saintess of the Scentless Immortal Pool did not know about this, the black shop deeds of the Scentless Immortal Pool would also have to be hidden from the Saintess.
“Holy Maiden Man, the Patriarch is not out of seclusion yet. You go to the Holy Maiden Hall first, Daoist Friend Xiong and Daoist Friend Bian we will have someone arrange it.” After walking through the chain link. The middle-aged female cultivator immediately bowed respectfully to Zhai Chouman and said.
A late Eternal Realm cultivator echoed, “Senior sister Asatsu is right, the return of Saintess Mann is a great event for my Uncut Immortal Pond. Our clan is going to hold a return ceremony, one to celebrate Saint Maiden Man’s promotion to Eternal, and second to celebrate Saint Maiden Man’s return to the clan.”
When Ning Cheng heard this, he realised that this Zhai Chu Man was not yet an Eternal Realm cultivator when she entered the Scentless Sect. And now Zhai Chu Man was in the middle Eternal stage, so there was no telling how many years she had been in the Streakless Sect. It was estimated that she had obtained a lot of treasures, otherwise it would not be easy to cultivate to the Eternal Realm in the Traceless Sect.
Zhai Chu Man also sensed something subtly wrong as there was no mention of Ning Cheng, she looked at Ning Cheng suspiciously and was about to speak when the middle-aged female cultivator said, “This fellow Daoist brought Saint Maiden Man out in the Scarless Sect, we have him to thank, I will take care of these matters, Saint Maiden Man need not worry.”
Zhai Chu Man felt even more wrong, no matter if rescuing her was a trivial matter or not, rewarding hundreds of millions of Heng Yuan Dan was not a trivial matter. This kind of thing, it was surprising that only one elder could just handle it casually? Didn’t they need to face the entire sect’s disciples for the reward in the sect assembly?
“Elder Shallow Pine, I think I should go and thank myself for this matter.” After Zhai Chu Man finished speaking to the middle-aged female cultivator, he purposely walked up to Ning Cheng and asked, “Fellow Daoist brought the three of us out of the Scentless Sect, I still don’t know how Fellow Daoist is addressed.”
If Ning Cheng had left as soon as he arrived, without the matter of rewarding 100 million Heng Yuan Dan, Zhai Chu Man might not have asked Ning Cheng’s name. After all, Ning Cheng and her had a deal, and after everyone came out, each owed the other nothing.
But now there was a reward of 100 million Heng Yuan Dan making Zhai Chu Man somewhat puzzled, even if the reward was big, it wasn’t so much Heng Yuan Dan. What made her even more puzzled was that it was a little too outrageous for such a large reward of Heng Yuan Dan to be settled by a random elder.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “My name is Ning Cheng.”
The middle-aged female cultivator’s face showed some difficulty, handing over 100 million Heng Yuan Dan to Ning Cheng? How was that possible? Moreover, from now on, Ning Cheng could not leave their sight.
The late Eternal cultivator who had previously said that he wanted to start the celebration hurriedly said, “Saintess Mann, it will be fine for Senior Sister Asatsu to take care of these matters. You take a rest first, the Patriarch may have to come out in a while, we have to focus on the big things.”
Zhai Chouman nodded, “Yes, Elder Jueyang.”
After saying that, she then said to Ning Cheng, “Fellow Daoist Ning, you go ahead, I will come to say goodbye to you later.”
When Ning Cheng heard Zhai Chu Man’s words, he knew that Zhai Chu Man had suspicions in his heart, and by saying that she would come to see him off later, she was indicating what she meant.
Seeing that Saint Maiden Man finally agreed to leave, the middle-aged female cultivator was then relieved, and with the other mid-Eternal cultivator, they led Ning Cheng about to leave far away.
“Brother Ning, wait ……” This time, it was Xiong Wuzhi who called out to Ning Cheng.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xiong Wuzhi smiled and said to Zhai Chu Man, “Senior sister Chu Man, we came out this time thanks to brother Ning Cheng. I think Brother Ning Cheng is a very nice person and would like to talk to him more. Also I will not be going to Senior Sister Chu Man’s celebration, when Brother Ning Cheng leaves, I will also go with Brother Ning Cheng.”
Bian Zhuo sneered and said, “Brother Xiong, I don’t think you want to go with Ning Cheng because he is going to receive a reward of 100 million Heng Yuan Dan, is that why you want to go with him.”
Xiong Wuzhi laughed heatedly, “If you say so, then so be it.”
Ning Cheng, however, knew that Xiong Wuzhi was definitely not going with him for the 100 million Heng Yuan Dan reward, Xiong Wuzhi was afraid that he was going with him because he felt that his pursuit of Zhai Chu Man was fruitless, and that was why he had made this decision.
Zhai Chu Man naturally knew Xiong Wuzhi’s nature of mind and said with a smile, “Fine, then Senior Brother Wuzhi will join Daoist Brother Ning first, and after I go and greet Master and Sovereign, I will come and say goodbye to you all together.”
Xiong Wuzhi was not a member of the Immortal Pond of No Trace, and Zhai Chu Man had also made it clear that the people of the Immortal Pond of No Trace naturally could not stop Xiong Wuzhi from joining Ning Cheng, otherwise it would be a little too obvious.
Ning Cheng and Xiong Wuzhi followed the two Eternal Realm cultivators to a luxurious looking meeting hall, as a top Starry Sky Emperor Formation Master, once Ning Cheng entered this meeting hall, he could tell that it was a combination of numerous top-notch trapping and killing formations.
The two Eternal Realm cultivators left immediately after bringing Ning Cheng here.
Xiong Wuzhi’s divine sense casually swept through the hall before he smiled at Ning Cheng and said, “Brother Ning, your cultivation level is not high, is it? You dare to break into the Scentless Sect, it really surprised me.”
It was normal for the guest hall to have many formations, after all, the Scentless Immortal Pond was considered a large sect, it would only be odd if there were no formations.
Ning Cheng smiled, “Fellow Daoist Wu Zhi, your cultivation level isn’t necessarily much higher than mine, if you can break in, how come I can’t?”
Xiong Wuzhi did not get angry, instead he nodded his head, “That is true, when I first entered the Streakless Sect, I was only at the middle stage of the Life and Death realm cultivation, so I am indeed not much higher than you. But Brother Ning Cheng, I treat you as a friend and you actually call me a fellow Daoist, that’s a bit out of place.”
He thought that Ning Cheng was referring to his cultivation level when he first entered the Scentless Sect, at that time he was indeed at the Life and Death realm. A Life and Death realm cultivator entering the Streakless Sect was not considered a strong person.
“Let’s not talk about the matter of meeting people, Daoist Friend Wu Zhi and I haven’t known each other for long and we don’t seem to be considered friends yet. I don’t think that Daoist Friend Wu Zhi should be sitting here with me dry right now, but rather he should go and curry favour with Saintess Mann.” Ning Cheng said casually.
Xiong Wuzhi sighed and said, “I’ve known for a long time that it would be fruitless, only Bian Zhuo would be obsessed with staying here. Without further ado, Brother Ning Cheng, at that time, when you dug up just a quarter of the Starry Sky Spirit Grass, I knew that you were a friend worth making. If it were me, I would have dug up at least half.
Don’t look at Bian Zhuo who scolded you at that time, if it were him, I am sure he would have dug up all those Starry Sky Spirit Grasses even to the dregs. I guess only Senior Sister Man would have settled down and not touched those Starry Sky Spirit Grasses.”
Ning Cheng agreed with Xiong Wuzhi’s words, “You’re right, if you and Saint Sister Mann hadn’t come out, I would have already taught him a lesson.”
Xiong Wuzhi naturally thought that Ning Cheng was bragging, and he hemmed and hawed again, “Next time I have to teach Bian Zhuo a lesson, I will be there to help. In fact, Bian Zhuo is not a bad person, he is very murderous and arrogant, but he is not a person who does not make a move. That’s why I can barely be neighbours with him, and of course his generosity in letting me have many Starry Sky Spirit Grasses to refine pills is also a reason.”
As the two were chatting, the middle-aged female cultivator named Shallow Pine walked in again and she said to Xiong Wuzhi, “Fellow Daoist Xiong, Saintess Mann has asked you to come over for a moment.”
When Xiong Wuzhi heard that Zhai Chu Man had called him over, he immediately stood up and said to Ning Cheng, “Brother Ning, I will go and meet Saintess Mann first, and then come back to chat freely with you.”
Ning Cheng stood up to see Xiong Wuzhi out, he reckoned that Xiong Wuzhi should not be in much danger. He had stayed at the Scarless Sect for so long to cultivate, and even if he had some cultivation resources, he had almost used them up. Plus, he was Zhai Chu Man’s friend, so the Traceless Immortal Pond had to give some face anyways.
Just as Xiong Wuzhi left, a middle Eternal Realm cultivator walked in, and as he entered, he put the ban on the guest hall.
