Thinking of the possibility of leaving the Jiangzhou Star, Ning Cheng’s heart was on fire for this huge battleship, “Master Konghe, Na Fusi sought his own death, he has no life to enjoy this battleship, I want to buy it down from Master. t/”
Old man Empty River said indifferently, “This was originally your trophy, you don’t need to greet me at all if you want to take it.”
Ning Cheng was overjoyed, “Then I thank Master Empty River, I wonder what parts of this battleship are still unfinished, I am willing to assist Master.”
“I’m sorry, Vos and I made a deal, while I have no deal with you. I also did not agree to help you refine this high grade battleship, you can take your battleship but that does not mean I am going to help you perfect this battleship.” Old Man Empty River’s tone was still very even, it was a fact that he was not a match for Ning Cheng as he controlled the Laws of Time. But as a top technology master and a master smith, he had his own pride.
Ning Cheng did not expect Empty River to reject him, so he immediately said, “Master Empty River, I still have space crystals here, just ……”
Before Ning Cheng could say his words, Elder Empty River pointed at Lan Cai and said, “The reason why I helped her refine the warship is because the Immortal Luo Sulfur she brought is exactly what I need. If it wasn’t what I needed, I wouldn’t have done it even if she had brought in time crystals.”

That was really the case? Ning Cheng had previously thought that the reason why Empty River was willing to help Lan Cao refine the battleship was because Lan Cao had traded with him and wanted to teach Lan Cao a lesson, or that Forsyth, who he had killed, wanted to teach Lan Cao a lesson. I didn’t expect that Empty River had really taken a fancy to Lan Cao’s materials, so in that case, asking Empty River to help refine the battleship. The more advanced the material, the better. Rather, the more suitable, the better.
It seems that the cultivators who brought in the materials to ask Kong He to refine the battleship had walked into a misunderstanding. Because the better the material, the better the chance, this Empty River’s personality was really eccentric.
“Master Empty River, since the materials you need are not necessarily the best, why don’t you just state which things you need?” Ning Cheng asked, somewhat puzzled.
Empty River shook his head, “You don’t understand, there are more than billions of materials in the starry sky? What I say is not necessarily the best, what I see is the best.”
Ning Cheng did not quite understand what Empty River meant. But he also vaguely understood something. That was that refining the same thing, or many materials, was fine, and once one restricted which materials were available, there was much less room to accept them, and one might even miss out on some of the best things.
“Senior Empty River, I have a chance to refine a battleship, and I would like to give this chance to Brother Ning.” Lan Ciao on the other side only had time to come up and interject at this time.
“Refining this kind of battleship, your materials are not enough.” Empty He said bluntly.
Seeing Lan Cai’s face appearing embarrassed, Ning Cheng hurriedly said, “Fellow Daoist Lan Cai. If you don’t have anything special to do, please go back first. Master Kong He and I will take our time to discuss.”
Lan Cai was already in a hurry to go back to close up and advance to Eternity, and now that Ning Cheng had spoken, she hurriedly took the opportunity to say goodbye.
After Lan Ciao left, Ning Cheng waved his hand, and a pile of materials appeared in front of Empty River. These materials were all his spoils of war. Whether it was the Starry Sky Emperor Shangguan Fei of the Nine Jia Starry Sky, or that Red Lun, as well as the spoils of the Scentless Immortal Pond, they were all numerous precious materials.
Many of these materials had been used by Ning Cheng, but there were still more here.
“Hehe, Bi Tao Xuan Root, Flying Star True Stone, Chopped Iron Lucite, Thunder Sky Crystal, Extreme Fire Silkworm Gold ……,” Empty River’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw what Ning Cheng had, while picking out dozens of these materials from among Ning Cheng’s as fast as he could.
When Ning Cheng saw the light spurting out of Elder Empty River’s eyes, he knew that things were almost done, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, “Master Empty River, do you think that these things are enough? I have another kind of flame that might be able to help out some more.”
Empty River swept a glance at Ning Cheng, “You have a divine grade flame?”
“What is a god-grade flame?” Ning Cheng asked in confusion, his Star River was Starry Sky Level 5 and he hadn’t advanced yet, could it be that ……
“Since there is no god-grade flame, then don’t talk about helping. The Voidback Luo gold here has long been melted and refined, and I don’t need your help right now.” Old Man Empty River said calmly, if Ning Cheng’s strength wasn’t too strong, he wouldn’t even want Ning Cheng to stay at the place he was working at.
Ning Cheng didn’t ask, he had already guessed something in his heart, the divine grade flame that Empty River was talking about should be what the grade six Starry Sky Flame was called after it had been upgraded. He possessed the Void Haze Crystal and the Brahma Heart, it was only a matter of time before the Star River advanced to the Divine Flame.
“You’ve come to find me, there should be something else, right?” While Ning Cheng was wondering what kind of attitude the Empty River Elder had, the Empty River Elder actually took the initiative to speak up.
Ning Cheng was overjoyed and hurriedly took out the tattered War Saucer Roland and said, “Master Empty River, I would like to ask you to help me repair this War Saucer.”
When Old Man Empty River said this, he should have agreed to help him finish this Star Battle Disk, so naturally there would be no problem in proposing Roland at this time.
Looking at the broken Roland in front of him, Empty River said with displeasure, “You’re asking me to repair such a lowly thing?”
Ning Cheng had to ask Empty River for help, and said helplessly, “Yes, Roland is very important to me, and I have to fix it no matter how much it costs.”
Old Man Empty River swept a glance at the pile of materials he had picked out and said, “You do have a lot of materials, it’s not enough to ask my hand to help you finish this top-class warship. As for restoring such a low grade war saucer, that would be a disgrace to me, I will definitely not do it.”
Ning Cheng was very upset in his heart, since you don’t agree, why did you pick out my materials? Trying to ask for my materials for nothing, even you, Empty River, can’t do it.
“Since that’s the case, then forget it.” It was not Ning Cheng’s character to go low and beg Empty River for such a matter. It wasn’t like you, Empty River, were the only one who could repair the technological war saucer at Danmi Xinghe.
After saying this Ning Cheng raised his hand and was about to collect the materials on the ground, but Empty River spoke at this time, “What I have learned and a little experience is in that room across the street, if you can study inside that room for a few days, perhaps in a few days you will be able to repair your Roland yourself. Even if it’s this top-of-the-line starship, you can still try. The condition is that you have these materials, but of course, if you don’t agree, then be my guest. One more thing, my jade slip cannot be copied or taken away, or it will all shatter.”
Ning Cheng’s heart moved, he was at least from a planet of a low level technological civilization, not to mention that his cultivation level was already at the Eternal Realm and he also possessed the Starry Sky Sea of Awareness. Even his own talent for learning and understanding was something that very few people could compare to. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to have this kind of achievement in the most tedious of formation dao.
In Ning Cheng’s view, the dan, formations, weapons, talismans and so on that he was studying were countless times more complicated than learning technology. Since Empty River had agreed for him to study, why did he still ask this old man? Empty River had also said that he would study for a few days, and he did not care about these few days.
“I agree.” Just as Ning Cheng’s words fell, Elder Empty River raised his hand and took away the materials he had picked out.
Ning Cheng did not care either, and after collecting the rest of the materials, he directly entered a small wooden hut on the opposite side of the square.
Hollow River smiled heatedly, ”Researching for a few days? I hope that in a thousand years, you will be able to come out. No, in two years, you will have to come out, because in two years, my stuff will follow me and vanish into the void.”
After muttering to himself, Hollow River dove straight into one of the battleships and continued to begin perfecting his own. The reason he said this was not to look down on Ning Cheng, but the things he had left behind were not quite the same as ordinary technology. His stuff was self-contained, a fusion of technology and astral refinement, and was considered to have opened up a new path.
Even if Ning Cheng was a genius, he wouldn’t be able to get started without a few thousand years. Think about how long it would take to grow into a Weapon Emperor. With enough materials, it would take countless years, right? And with his stuff, if you weren’t an Artifact Emperor, you wouldn’t be able to learn it.
This was because he had taken a fancy to these materials of Ning Cheng’s, otherwise he would not have wanted Ning Cheng to enter that wooden house even if he knew that Ning Cheng was unable to learn his stuff.
……
Only after Ning Cheng entered the small wooden hut did he realize how much stuff was in this wooden hut. This wooden hut was simply a shrunken spatial treasure, and the various types of jade slips inside were counted in the billions.
Luckily, the classification of the empty river was clear, from low to high, layer after layer.
Ning Cheng did not take out the jade slips to look at them, as he knew that he might not be able to finish reading them even if he took them out one by one for hundreds of years. His divine sense fell directly on the first jade slip, and soon Ning Cheng’s divine sense went from the first jade slip to the second, the third and the fourth ……
In just half a day, Ning Cheng was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge of these jade slips. This was exactly as Empty River had predicted, sometimes knowledge is a poison, when you get caught up in it, you will go after the roots. Ning Cheng, as predicted by Empty River, would not just give up as long as he was caught up in it.
And the front of his jade brief was all very simple to get started, as soon as you get started, with the integration of the means of refining, it would be a fool’s errand for ordinary people to try to understand through and through.
Unfortunately, Ning Cheng was not an ordinary person, he was a top-tier Weapon Emperor, and his refining methods were not below Empty River’s. It was just that Empty River did not know about this, if Empty River knew that Ning Cheng was a Top Weapon Emperor, he would never have let Ning Cheng into his hut. This was his countless years of accumulation and hard work, even if he helped Ning Cheng complete the refinement of his battleship for free, he would not agree to Ning Cheng learning his stuff.
Ning Cheng’s sea of consciousness and comprehension was simply too powerful, and the billions of jade slips in this room were like running water flowing through his sea of consciousness. If at the beginning, they were still swept by Ning Cheng’s divine sense one by one, then at the back, each sweep of Ning Cheng’s divine sense was thousands of jade slips. As each jade slip flowed away, the essence of it would be left behind.
In just over a year’s time, Ning Cheng had completely swept through these jade slips, not leaving a single one behind. Not only that, because of his gongfu, he had also searched out some of the problems that existed in the jade slips left behind by Empty River. In order to sort these things out completely, Ning Cheng did not leave this wooden house, he closed his door and sorted out what he had learned while carving these problems into some new jade slips.
These jade slips he was going to give to Elder Empty River, Ning Cheng felt that having learnt so many good things, carving his understanding into jade slips and giving them to Empty River would be a reward.
