Without waiting for Ning Cheng to inquire, Qi XIII Xing said, “He is the Minkong Dan Saint ……”
“You said it was the same Min Kong Dan Sage who used the Human Faced Poison Centipede to guard the Divine Spirit Herb Medicine Garden?” Ning Cheng asked in amazement.
Qi XIII Xing nodded, “That’s right, it’s him. He is the First Dan Saint of the Tai Su Realm, and the Dao robe he is wearing is the First Dan Saint Dao robe. And he never wears a ring, he uses a bracelet. I really didn’t expect that the Minkong Dan Saint had fallen in this place. It looks like he came in here for the Divine Stone Marrow as well.”
Ning Cheng really noticed that this skeleton only had a bracelet on his wrist and no ring on his finger.
“The bracelet of the Minkong Dan Saint must have many good things, he was found by Brother Ning, so you should put it away, Brother Ning. This Dan Saint’s Daoist robe of his is also remarkable, it’s ten thousand times better than this dress of mine and is worth a fortune, so you can put it away too, Brother Ning.” Qi Thirteen Stars came from the Xuan Yue Divine Sect, and although he also wanted Min Kong Dan Saint’s bracelet yet he was much more sensible than the average cultivator.
Ning Cheng put away the bracelet of the Minkong Dan Sage, but did not move his Dan robe. Instead, he directly dug a graveyard in the same place, casually refined a jade coffin, and put the Min Kong Dan Saint into the jade coffin and sent him into the graveyard.
After doing so, Ning Cheng made a tombstone inscribed with the words ‘Tomb of the First Dan Saint of the Tai Su Realm, Dan Saint Minkong, erected by Ning Cheng, the beneficiary’ and placed it in front of the tomb, then bowed and paid his respects three times.
Seeing Qi XIII Xing’s confusion, Ning Cheng said with a sigh, “Although I was chased by that human-faced poisonous centipede and almost fell. But I obtained a large amount of divine spirit herbs in his Spiritual Medicine Garden, and since I was also an alchemist, I left behind his bracelet. No matter what I say, the Minh Kong Dan Sage has given me a boon. I gathered his bones for him. It is only right to pay respects to him.”
Qi XIII Xing thought of how his own flesh was still an elixir from the Min Kong Dan Holy Spirit’s medicinal garden. Immediately, ashamed, he also stood in front of the tomb of the Minkong Dan Sage and paid his respects a few times.
Ning Cheng pointed at a stone peak by the tomb and said. “There should be divine stone pith in this stone peak, but since this is where the tombstone of the Min Khong Dan Saint is located, let’s go to the next place.”
“Good.” Qi XIII Xing agreed to Ning Cheng’s words without hesitation.
The two followed the previous route and had just taken three steps out of the way when there was a sudden flash of light in front of them and the misty stone forest disappeared without a trace. What appeared before the two of them was an endless wilderness, and there was even an aura of divine Spiritual Qi fluctuation in the distance.
“We’re out?” Qi XIII Xing understood, and his first thought was not to hurry and leave. Instead, he hurriedly turned back. With so many divine Aura piths in the Mystic Stone Forest, and with Ning Cheng with him, the Mystic Illusion Formation could not affect him at all, only a fool would want to come out so early.
“It’s impossible to enter.” Ning Cheng frowned as he looked at the endless wilderness behind him as well, where was the Lost Stone Forest behind them? Where were there still stone peaks?
Qi XIII Xing also reacted and exclaimed, “What a powerful illusion formation, Brother Ning, if it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get out in another 60,000 years. Alas. It’s a pity for the Minh Kong Dan Sage, who was only three steps away from walking out. Surprisingly, he fell inside. Sometimes, life and death are really only three steps away.”
Ning Cheng was silent, if he did not have the Seven Bridges divine Ability, he was afraid that he would have fallen in the Lost Stone Forest just the same. Even if the Xuanhuang Origin Breath could keep him awake for a while, under that kind of Mystic Illusion Formation and Yin Demon, his sea of consciousness would darken away sooner or later.
In other words, sooner or later, he would fall in the Lost Stone Forest just like Qi XIII Xing, and end up becoming a skeleton, just like the Min Kong Dan Sage.
“Let’s go, let’s divide the Divine Stone Marrow and the contents of the Min Kong Dan Sage’s bracelet.” Ning Cheng patted Qi XIII Xing, who was still in a sigh of relief.
“Brother Ning, my life was saved by you. You are also an alchemist, I don’t want that bracelet. You can just give me ten divine stone piths, there is no use for me to ask for more.” Qi Thirteen Stars said with a straight face.
He knew very well that his little life was saved by Ning Cheng, and that he was able to walk out of the Mystic Stone Forest because of Ning Cheng. Moreover, it could be said that it was entirely Ning Cheng’s fault for being able to find so many divine Stone Marrow.
Ning Cheng smiled, he had been barging around with Qi XIII Xing for a month or two and had long known Qi XIII Xing’s temperament. Qi Thirteen Stars was not a cunning person, if you treated him with sincerity, he would definitely treat you with sincerity. As for the divine Stone Marrow, it was useless to ask for more than one, these were purely comforting words.
The more you have, the better it is, so how could it be useless?
Ning Cheng took out thirty divine Stone Marrow and handed them to Qi XIII Xing, “Brother Qi, I am going to refine a divine Marrow Pill, so I will take some more.”
Hearing that Ning Cheng was going to refine the Divine Marrow Pill, Qi XIII Xing’s eyes lit up as he took out just five Divine Stone Marrow, “Brother Ning, I only need ten, and the other five will stay with you. If you do refine the Divine Marrow Pill, remember to share five portions of it with me, if it fails, then forget it.”
Hearing Qi XIII Xing say this, Ning Cheng did not push back. He believed that he could successfully refine the Divine Marrow Pill, so he simply took the rest of the Divine Stone Marrow back and said, “Alright, then I will go and give it to you when I succeed in refining it.”
“You’ve entered the Tai Su Secret Realm for more than half a year, I guess? We are now going all the way back and searching for the divine spirit grass all the way. It’s probably just about time to get to the exit place.” Qi XIII Xing was in a very good mood. He guessed that the reason why Ning Cheng had entered the Tai Su Secret Realm must have been to search for the Divine Spirit Grass. This was because Ning Cheng himself had said that he was an alchemist.
Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, “Brother Qi, I may need your help. See if you can help, if not, I will think of another way.”
When Qi XIII Xing heard Ning Cheng’s words, he immediately said in a somewhat unpleasant tone, “Ning Cheng, I won’t call you Brother Ning either. The two of us are friends who have passed through life and death inside the Tai Su Mystic Stone Forest, you are saying this because you are wary of me and not quick enough.”
Ning Cheng smiled, “Good, then I won’t be polite, I don’t bother calling you Brother Qi either, the name Thirteen Stars isn’t bad either.”
Qi Thirteen Stars was in an even better mood when he heard Ning Cheng’s words, “Come on, if you want me to help with the fight, that would be best. Tens of thousands of years have passed and I haven’t even had a few good fights. Hehehe, I can’t wait ……”
As he spoke, Qi XIII Xing even kept rubbing his hands together. With his soft and frail body, it really looked a bit funny.
“It’s not a fight, it’s that I’ve offended someone. I reckon that person will be waiting for me outside when the Tai Su Secret Realm closes.” Ning Cheng shook his head and said.
Qi Thirteen Stars laughed, “That would be even easier, when the time comes, I, Thirteen Stars, will suddenly step in, and I will see who dares to nag my brother. Whoever dares to nag, I’ll slap him to death.”
He had the courage to say this, even if the other party was a disciple of one of the ten clans, he would still dare to do so.
“I’m afraid I can’t, because this person’s name is Barbarian Huishan, and I heard that he is also a Dragon Emperor ……” Ning Cheng said with some bitterness.
“…… “Qi XIII Xing looked at Ning Cheng with his mouth wide open, and only after a while did he stutter, “You said you had offended Barbarian Huishan? How can you possibly be related to him, he is a Dao Yuan Saint Emperor.”
A slap on the wrist to kill Barbarian Huishan? Even his old man wouldn’t dare to say that, it would be more like slap him to death with one slap.
Ning Cheng rubbed his hair helplessly and sighed, “Sigh, if I could, I wouldn’t want to mess with this kind of person. It’s a completely unwarranted disaster for me to mess with this guy.”
If it wasn’t Barbarian Jiu Ren who wanted to destroy the Xuanhuang Star Continent, how could he possibly have an enmity with Barbarian Huishan?
Qi XIII Xing had already calmed down and he said in a comforting voice, “Don’t worry, I’ll ask my father to step in and go to the Tai Su Sea to say a favor, it will definitely not be a problem.”
“That shouldn’t work either, I did kill Barbarian Huishan’s son, Barbarian Jiu Ren, so I’m afraid it’s hard to intercede ……”
“You ……” Qi XIII Xing looked at Ning Cheng in anger, he had seen bold people, but he had never seen such boldness from Ning Cheng. You dare to kill even the son of Barbarian Huishan? What kind of guts has this eaten?
A full few minutes passed before Qi XIII Xing said breathlessly, “Tell me the process and we will think of something together.”
Sensing that Qi Thirteen Stars really wanted to help him, Ning Cheng then told the full story of his hatred towards Barbarian Nine Ren, only concealing the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow.
In fact, if Qi Thirteen Stars had only slightly revealed that he did not want to help, Ning Cheng would have thought of another way.
After hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Qi XIII Xing had long since cast aside the might of Barbarian Huishan, “This kid dared to scheme against you in the secret realm and deserved to be killed by you. Besides, Barbarian Huishan doesn’t know that you killed him, so you don’t need to rush, I can definitely come up with a solution. Hehe, if brother Ning stays in my small world ……”
Ning Cheng interrupted Qi XIII Xing’s words, “It’s useless, not to mention the small world, even if it was the True Spirit World, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to avoid Barbarian Huishan ……”
Ning Cheng also stopped as he said, if there were people in the True Spirit World, there was indeed no way to avoid the probing of the Dao Yuan powerhouse. But if there were three thousand weak waters covering this True Spirit World, what then?
Thinking about it, Ning Cheng said without hesitation, “Thirteen Stars, I have a True Spirit World, and I also have a drop of Three Thousand Weak Waters. When I go out, I will enter the True Spirit World. Then use the Three Thousand Weak Waters to cover up the True Spirit World’s aura, and you bring this True Spirit World out, then there will be no problem.”
“Wonderful.” Qi Thirteen Stars clapped his hands in delight, “Let’s make a deal like that, now let’s go look for the Divine Spirit Grass, and when we go out, I’ll bring you along.”
“Good, what’s a pity is that this way, I won’t be able to go to the Great Tai Su Competition.” Ning Cheng agreed to Qi XIII Xing’s words after a slight hesitation. Compared to not being able to participate in the Grand Competition and his small life, Ning Cheng naturally could distinguish clearly which was more important. For others, entering the True Spirit World was sending their little lives into the hands of others, but Ning Cheng had the bottom card.
He believed that he would not be wrong about anyone, and even if he was wrong, he would still be able to self-destruct the True Spirit World. With the Xuanhuang Pearl around, he would be fine if he self-destructed a True Spirit World, the only flaw was that he would expose the Xuanhuang Pearl.
“Are you trying to go to the Extra-terrestrial Divine Spring to transform the divine essence?” As soon as Qi XIII Star heard Ning Cheng’s words, he understood what Ning Cheng meant.
Ning Cheng nodded and said, “Yes, in fact, I didn’t come to the Tai Su Secret Realm for the divine Spirit Grass to begin with. Rather, I wanted to go to the Extra-terrestrial Divine Spring to transform my divine essence, which is why I came in.”
