“Firstly, my Nine Revolutions Sacred Dao Pond needs pure white or above hetero-spiritual roots, and secondly we respect the spirit offering disciple’s wish that her spirit roots can only be grafted to a female cultivator, no male cultivators will be considered.” The young female cultivator of the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond said in a still calm tone.
Ning Cheng stared coldly at this cultivator who said I want it, it was none other than the Desolate God Palace’s Ji Pingzhong. Back then at the Extra-terrestrial Divine Spring, if this fellow hadn’t acted like a grandson, he might have even finished off the other party.
Ji Pingzhong clasped his fist and did not say anything. A black-bearded man beside him chuckled, “There’s no problem with pure white or above hetero-spiritual roots, my Desolate God Palace has brought a pure white ice spirit root this time, and a woman at that.”
Hearing that it was a pure white ice spirit root, even Shi Tianhe’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, obviously although they said they needed a foreign spirit root, the ice spirit root was definitely the best.
The young woman did not say anything, but just dropped her gaze on Shi Tianhe, supposedly asking for advice.
Shi Tianhe said in a slow voice, “This disciple is only willing to transfer his spiritual roots to a female cultivator ……”
Ji Pingzhong stood up and bowed to Shi Tianhe before saying, “Naturally, I will comply with this junior sister’s wishes, and after marrying the spirit, I will bring her back to the Desolate God Palace and will definitely treat her well.”
Everyone understood Ji Pingzhong’s meaning, which was to first deceive the woman who was going to marry the spirit, saying that she was going to marry the spirit of a woman. When she agreed, would she know whether the person marrying the spirit was a man or a woman? Moreover, after a spirit grafter marries a spirit, she will not fall [immediately], but will at least have a few years of life left.
Ji Pingzhong wanted to take the woman away after the spirit marriage and then become his daoist partner, so that his spirit root fusion would also be more perfect.
Everyone understood what Ji Pingzhong meant. No one felt that it was wrong. After marrying the spirit, it was equal to an imminent fall. A nameless disciple who was about to fall. Naturally no one would care.
The black-bearded man from the Desolate God Palace said once again, “In addition to a pure ice spirit root, my Desolate God Palace is willing to add three more bottles of Desolate God Marrow.”
Hearing the Desolate God Marrow, Shi Tianhe’s eyes lit up. Even she could not refuse this condition. The Desolate God Marrow was a top-notch treasure that only existed in the Desolate God Palace, and the reason why the Desolate God Palace had such a prestigious reputation relied heavily on the Desolate God Marrow.
Any cultivator could wash his or her spirit before attaining the Dao. A cultivator after cleansing his spirit. The Daoist idea is purer after the Dao is witnessed and the potential for development will be greater. After grafting the spirit, the effect of washing the spirit with the Desolate God Marrow increases even more exponentially. That is why the Dao-bearing cultivators of the Desolate God Palace are all a little stronger than others in the same rank, because of the Desolate God Marrow.
There are not many Desolate God Marrow in the Desolate God Palace either, and I heard that only one bottle is produced in a few years. The fact that the Desolate God Palace took out three bottles at once showed how much it cared about the colourless Pure Fire Spiritual Root. Of course, this also had something to do with having to ask the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond to take a hand in turning the spirits.
Ning Cheng clenched his fist to death, his forehead veins slightly throbbing. He should have finished off Ji Pingzhong earlier. He shouldn’t have waited until today. That black-bearded man cared so much about Ji Pingzhong, so it was evident that Ji Pingzhong’s status in the Desolate God Palace was extraordinary.
Although he was furious to the extreme. Ning Cheng did not dare to move. He knew that if he dared to make the slightest rash move, it would be death without a burial place.
The Desolate God Palace had come up with such trading terms, and although the other sects also wanted the colourless Pure Fire Spirit Root very much, they also knew that it was unrealistic. They could only seek to trade for the other two pure white spirit roots, and fortunately with the Desolate God Palace out to graft the spirits, it would not be much weaker.
……
The deal was getting more and more heated, Ning Cheng did not stay behind, he knew that after the deal was over, it was the start of the spirit grafting. He had to take Yan Ji away before the grafting of the spirits began.
No longer caring about being discovered by others, Ning Cheng slowly walked out of the Great Hall.
This time, there were many visitors to the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond’s grand ceremony, and some guests had walked out of the main hall to view the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond. So it was not strange to come out, but if they came out and did not return for a long time, once they were discovered, they would definitely have to be investigated.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense had long seen a few disciples guarding the outside of the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond, going out was fine, but going out had to be under the gaze of these disciples, it was absolutely not their to leave within the line of sight.
Once Ning Cheng went out, he used a stealth technique. He understood that what he was doing was dangerous, as he had not studied stealth techniques. He cultivated Xuan Huang Wu Xiang, and his stealth technique should be stronger than an ordinary Eternal Realm cultivator, but it was definitely impossible to evade the divine sense of some powerful people.
Luckily, among the few disciples guarding the outside, the strongest one was only a half-step in the Shaping Dao, so Ning Cheng was prepared to take a chance and try it out. If there was no news of Yan Ji, he would not have dared to do so. Now that Yan Ji was going to be used to marry a spirit, even if he was discovered, he still had to give it a try.
The trade in the main hall was in the midst of a frenzy, and not many people paid attention when Ning Cheng walked out.
The moment Ning Cheng walked out of the Great Hall, he cast his invisibility spell, and not far from him was a half-step Dao-shaping female cultivator and an Eternal Realm cultivator talking.
Ning Cheng was delighted in his heart, he believed that with his stealth technique, as long as he was careful and did not make any fluctuations, he would not have a problem avoiding these two people. As for the two Eternal Realm cultivators who were slightly further away, Ning Cheng was even less concerned.
Just as Ning Cheng had just bypassed the two talking female cultivators, the Dao-shaping female cultivator suddenly frowned slightly, and then her gaze and divine sense swept towards Ning Cheng’s side at the same time.
Was he discovered? This thought had just risen in Ning Cheng’s mind when a violent explosion was heard in the distance. Immediately afterwards, a terrifying divine essence fluctuated up in space, as if the entire space would have collapsed completely.
After this explosion, another incomparably intense clash of divine energy came out.
The half-step Daoist no longer cared about the spatial disturbance in front of her, and her divine sense immediately swept towards the place where the explosion was slightly further away.
Ning Cheng took this opportunity to wave his Heavenly Cloud wings and left in an instant, but in his heart, he cursed. This was definitely the work of that woman Ruo Xi, this woman had definitely been discovered and then fought with the cultivators of the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond.
No sooner had Ning Cheng left this side than the figure of Shi Tianhe in the main hall rushed out and disappeared at the entrance of the main hall with just a flash of light.
Because of Ruo Xi’s movements, no one took into account Ning Cheng’s side for the time being. Instead, Ning Cheng sighed, his chances were even slimmer.
Later on, if the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pool could not find Ruo Xie, then there would definitely be a huge search. If Ruo Shi was a Dao Yuan Saint Emperor, it would be strange if she could be found within a short period of time. But he was different, he was a tiny Eternal Realm cultivator, and in the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pool, he was really an ant.
Ning Cheng chose an opposite direction and carefully stealthily passed by.
After turning through several curved corridors, what appeared in front of Ning Cheng was a residential complex.
“Boom ……” An even more terrifying divine essence explosion resounded behind Ning Cheng, a powerful divine essence fluctuation that even made Ning Cheng feel a little heart palpitating.
If it was possible to break into a cussing fit, Ning Cheng would have opened his mouth long ago. What place could this woman, Ruoxi, not run to, but she had to run to his side.
He had clearly chosen the opposite direction from the battle just now, but he never thought that he would still be affected by the ripples. With his speed, he definitely could not outrun these Dao Yuan powerhouses.
Seeing that the violent fluctuations were getting closer and closer, Ning Cheng sped up and turned into one of the rooms at the far corner.
He didn’t dare to set up a restriction outside, but entering a room to set up a restriction was always possible, right? These rooms must be places where the inner disciples of the Nine Turning Sacred Dao Pond lived, and since they were places of residence, there were prohibitions that the disciple doors themselves had set up. So it was not abrupt for him to set up a forbidden system in the room.
“Why is it you?” Shui Yue Ke in the room stared at Ning Cheng and asked in amazement.
“You know me?” Ning Cheng subconsciously touched his face, he had disguised himself, huh? He didn’t think he would have such bad luck. He entered a random room and there was someone inside, and it was still Shui Yueke.
Shui Yue Ke nodded, “Of course I know you, you are a guest at the He Dian. With a full beard, it wasn’t hard to recognize, I had seen it as soon as I entered.”
As Shui Yue Ke spoke, she had already taken out a jade token. As long as she crushed the jade token, Ning Cheng, no matter what he had changed into, would not be able to get away.
“Wait …… me and Peng Shan are friends.” When Ning Cheng saw that Shui Yue Ke was about to crush the jade token, he hurriedly called out. In case Shui Yue Ke really called someone over, he would be dead.
“Peng Shan? What does it matter to me if you and Peng Shan are friends?” Although his mouth said so, Shui Yue Ke did not continue to crush the jade token.
Ning Cheng said cheekily, “I know that you and Peng Shan have some secrets, and there is still a credit to me for that Rule Loam of Peng Shan.”
“Rule loam? What secrets would I have with Peng Shan?” Shui Yue Ke looked at Ning Cheng in confusion, obviously unaware of this matter.
Ning Cheng cursed Peng Shan in his heart, this guy looked pure, but surprisingly, he was also a master who liked the new and loathed the old. He had obviously used the Rule Loam to please a woman, and now he was here to please Shui Yue Ke. It would be fine if you looked as handsome and extraordinary as that Ying Yongxuan, but the key was that you were a little eight-legged man.
However, when Ning Cheng thought that on Earth, the Eight Rings were the dream girl of many beautiful women, he didn’t feel much out of place.
“No matter if the person making the noise outside is with you or not, you should go out now and I will pretend that I didn’t see this matter. Otherwise, I’m going to call someone.” Shui Yue Ke’s face was icy cold and her tone was not even half polite.
Ning Cheng thought to himself that if he called me out now, wouldn’t he be looking for death, he hurriedly said once again, “Even if you don’t look at Peng Shan’s face, let me hide for a bit because I helped you get the sixth stone gate of the Extra-dimensional Divine Spring.”
“The sixth stone door?” Shui Yue Ke’s eyes instantly tightened, and she even stared at Ning Cheng, “Who the hell are you?”
Ning Cheng took out his spear and casually stabbed out a few spear patterns and said, “I once disguised myself as Ji He, did you say that your sixth stone gate also has some credit to me?”
When Shui Yue Ke saw Ning Cheng sacrifice his spear, she even raised her hand and a pale aura had already appeared in her hand. Then, when she heard Ning Cheng say that it was Ji He, she let go of her hand and the faint mane disappeared. In its place was a shocked look at Ning Cheng, “You said that you are Ji He who entered the first stone gate of the Extra-dimensional Divine Spring?”
Without waiting for Ning Cheng to answer, she replied herself, “Yes, you are right, you are indeed Ji He.”
The shrill whistle and violent spatial fluctuations were coming from not far away, and Ning Cheng’s heart became more and more anxious. Shui Yue was not anxious, he was anxious.
