Wu Qihong did not think that much and hurriedly replied, “Yes, senior, junior’s sea of consciousness is indeed in the process of being repaired.”
A strange aura flashed in the eyes of the woman surnamed Nie, and she looked at Wu Qihong for a while longer before she said in awe, “Good tactics, good divine pills, not only can they repair the sea of consciousness, but they can also help grow the divine sense and expand the sea of consciousness ……”
Hearing this, Xin Xiu’s heart sank, the person who disguised as Senior Brother had told her not to casually reveal the Empty City Transmigration Consciousness Pill. Yet, she did not expect that senior brother had been seen to be in the process of repairing his sea of consciousness. Had she known this, she would definitely have stayed for a while longer before leaving.
The woman in black obviously saw Xin Xiu’s hesitation and worry and said in a slightly cold tone, “Bring out the pills for me to look at.”
There was no aura to oppress, and with just one sentence, Xin Xiu couldn’t help but shiver, and even wanted to involuntarily fetch the few Empty City Transmigration Awareness Pills.
But she quickly came to her senses and once again bowed and said, “Please forgive me, senior, I promised the person who gave me the pills that I would not take the pills to anyone else.”
The woman in black snorted coldly, “I can raise my hand and turn you into flying ashes, and then I can still get your elixir. I can also conduct a soul search on you, and with this level of cultivation you can’t hide anything at all. I guarantee that if I kill you, no one from Tian Su Holy City will come looking for me either.”
Xin Xiu pursed his lips and did not say a word. Ning Cheng was equal to Senior Qi Hong’s life-saving benefactor, even if this woman in black could easily search her soul, she would not speak up. Her strength was low, but she had never betrayed her life-saving benefactor.
Seeing that she used soul searching to oppress her, Xin Xiu still did not say a word, the woman in black was a bit strange. She had seen too many cultivators who would throw away everything to stay alive, and today, seeing a young cultivator with such principles, she was touched instead.
The woman in black’s tone turned slow as she asked. “You are unwilling to speak simply because you have promised others?”
Xin Xiu was slightly relieved to see that the woman in black did not immediately take action against her. Once again, she bowed and replied, “I never betrayed the person who saved my life. If senior were to make a move, junior wouldn’t say anything.”
“That man saved your life?” The woman in black asked with a frown.
“No, it saved my senior brother’s life ……”
Xin Xiu’s words made the woman in black understand that the saving grace that Xin Xiu was talking about should be the man who took the elixir to repair her senior brother’s sea of consciousness.
“If you don’t tell me, I can kill your senior brother right now.” The woman in black frowned.
Xin Xiu’s tone calmed down instead, “If I betrayed my life-saving benefactor to beg for my life, it would be difficult for me and my senior brother to live with peace of mind. My senior brother is dead. I can accompany him to his death, and he won’t blame me.”
“Yes, Senior Sister Xiu, I would rather die again than live.” Wu Qihong said in an equally resolute tone when he heard the woman in black pressing his elder brother.
The woman in black was somewhat stunned when she heard the words of this pair of senior siblings. In this world where there was only the law of the jungle, where only the strongest were respected, she had actually met such a pair of senior siblings.
An inexplicable shame rose up in her heart that once she too could have died for someone she liked. Once she too had had this kind of beauty.
But that had all been ruined by her own hands, not only had she backstabbed the person who had saved her life, she had also backstabbed the one she truly liked. She had never wanted to. Once she wasn’t even afraid of death, yet she could do the kind of thing that she would endlessly regret. Just for the sake of that vain and evanescent promise, just for the sake of that position that she did not want to think about anymore.
After she saw him again, and saw that he was far more powerful than she could ever hope to be with all her efforts, her dao heart completely cracked and could never recover.
Even though she desperately found a talisman to break open the realm and left the place that made her regretful and sad, the wound in her heart could never be closed. Her strength grew stronger and stronger, yet a trace always remained in her dao heart. She knew very well in her heart. This life could only end here.
While the woman in black wandered in her mind to foreign objects, Xinxiu and Wu Qihong did not dare to leave. Still standing respectfully in front of her.
It was only after a long time that the woman in black slowed down. She sighed and her tone turned soft and said, “The person you are talking about is your big brother JI, right? I did him a favour here at the beginning.”
A sense of powerlessness rose up as Xin Xiu heard the woman in black say the identity of the person who gave her the elixir in one breath.
The woman in black did not threaten Xinxiu any further and said calmly still, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to your Brother JI. Show me the elixir and no matter what, I will do what I say I will do.”
Xin Xiu did not continue to resist, the other party knew where the pills came from, there was no point in her objecting, she took out the jade bottle containing the four Empty City Transmigration Awareness Pills from her ring and handed it to the woman in black.
The woman in black nodded to Xin Xiu, opened the jade bottle and poured one into her hand. As her gaze fell on the seemingly transparent elixir in her hand, a faint fragrance penetrated into her sea of consciousness. Before she had swallowed this elixir, her sea of consciousness was clear, and the hint of a growing breath filled through it.
The woman in black’s face immediately became excited, she had never seen an elixir that helped her divine consciousness and sea of consciousness so much, it was as useful to her as this elixir. This was a very precious cultivation-ignoring elixir, most cultivation-ignoring elixirs were for healing, this elixir was useful for cultivation, and it was for the sea of consciousness.
Her dao heart was scarred, her cultivation was stagnant, and every time she wanted to advance, her sea of consciousness would be somewhat overwhelmed, so it was not normal to say that this elixir would be of benefit to her. It was naturally impossible to use this kind of elixir to repair her dao heart, but this kind of elixir could certainly be able to further her cultivation.
After hesitating for a moment, the woman in black still handed the jade vase to Xinxiu’s hand.
Xinxiu took the jade bottle with apprehension and called out senior again.
The woman in black took a breath and tried to keep her tone calm as she said, “As I said, I won’t do anything to that big brother of yours, JI. But this kind of elixir is also useful to me, and I want to make a deal with him. Don’t worry, if he doesn’t agree to the deal, then consider my words as not having been said.”
Xin Xiu sighed slightly in relief and said carefully, “Senior, if big brother JI doesn’t agree to the deal, it must be because he doesn’t have this kind of elixir anymore. I have four more pills here, so I’ll give them to senior.”
The woman in black smiled faintly. “You also call me senior, even if I want these four pills from you, I won’t ask you to give them away. You tell me. That big brother JI has gone somewhere, and I will go and trade with him. If he really doesn’t have any. I’ll trade you with something.”
Xin Xiu sighed in her heart, she knew that even if she didn’t say anything, this woman in black could easily find out where that big brother JI of hers had gone. Now that the woman in black asked, she didn’t hesitate much, “I’m not sure where big brother JI has gone, I guess he might be going to the Great Tai Su Competition.”
“A Dao-shaping Dan God has the strength to participate in the Great Tai Su Competition?” The woman in black muttered to herself in confusion.
“Dao-shaping Dan God?” Xin Xiu asked out in amazement, she knew that Ning Cheng should be a Dan Emperor. But Dan Gods were really too few, could it be that this person who had disguised himself as JI He to save his life was still a Shaping Dao Dan God?
The woman in black pointed to the jade bottle in Xin Xiu’s hand and said, “Those who can refine this kind of elixir are at least Dao-shaping Dan Gods. This is an elixir that ignores cultivation level, it’s not high grade and is of immense value, so you really can’t just take it out.”
……
Ning Cheng was assured by the few powerful people who were presiding over the competition, and although his heart was still a little apprehensive, it was slightly better than before, and he only hoped that it was his illusion.
Ning Cheng kept this hope for only half a pillar of time. A majestic aura pressed down on Tian Su Square. Those with weaker cultivations even had an illusion under this majestic aura, that as long as this aura continued for a while longer. The whole mind would collapse away.
At this moment almost all of them looked towards the sky, this kind of aura was definitely something that only a strong person of the second step of the Dao of Evidence could press down.
As soon as Ning Cheng felt this powerful Qi suppression, his heart sank. He knew who this person was before he even arrived, it was definitely Barbarian Huishan. His intuition was indeed correct, there was really danger.
What gave him slight peace of mind was that Barbarian Huishan had used the wrong method. If he hadn’t greeted him in advance, this method of Savage Huishan was absolutely correct. It was telling all the strong people in Tian Su Square how strong he, Savage Huishan, was by showing his strength.
Anyone who wanted to go against him, Savage Huishan. All must pay a certain price.
According to Ning Cheng’s guess, after Savage Huishan had displayed his strength. He would definitely leave a stage in front of the few presiding powerhouses of the Great Tai Su Competition. Even in a manner that was respectful to the few presiding masters, he would give face to the few presiding masters of the Great Competition in front of the many cultivators. He showed strength first. Let it be best not to fall out with him. Then lower his stance to give a step, and then take him, Ning Cheng.
It was just that he had not expected that Ning Cheng would have greeted him in advance. If he was still thrown out by the presiding powerhouse of the Great Tai Su Competition under such circumstances, then he would be helpless.
The middle-aged female cultivator who had previously chided Ning Cheng and said that whoever had the guts to come to the Great Tai Su Competition to cause trouble had a change of expression and immediately stood up. Not only her, but several other Dao-accredited powerhouses on the main stage also stood up.
The red-faced, pleasant-looking old man frowned slightly. He was sure that Ning Cheng had not received a threatening transmission, but now someone had actually come over and told all of them in such a strong manner, could it be that the Barbarian Meeting Mountain had come for this JIHE?
“Barbarian Dragon Saint Emperor, what do you mean by that?” The middle-aged female cultivator said in a somewhat unpleasant tone as she stared at Barbarian Huishan who had fallen from the air. In her heart, however, she was secretly shocked at how powerful Savage Huishan was, this oppressive aura was definitely stronger than hers.
Barbarian Huishan instantly collected his oppressive aura, and with a smile on his face, he gave a fist hug to the several powerful people on the stage and said, “I’m really sorry, sorry. I felt a little more resonance in my heart because I felt the fervent competition of the latter generation, and in my haste, I was not able to suppress this enthusiasm, so I am really ashamed. Barbarian Hui Shan is here to express my apologies to all the senior brothers and sisters.”
The polite and lowered tone and posture of Savage Huishan instantly eased the minds of the several powerful people presiding over the competition on stage. The strength displayed by Barbarian Huishan was definitely one of the strongest, and now that Barbarian Huishan had taken the initiative to lower his stance, no one would be nosy and take the initiative to go against Barbarian Huishan.
