“Senior Sister Yan Ji is well?” Xin Xiu looked at Yan Ji who walked out with Ning Cheng in surprise, her tone dripping with delight.
Even Wu Qihong, who was not good with words, also came up to congratulate him, as both he and Xin Xiu knew clearly that Ning Cheng cared a lot about Yan Ji.
“Thank you, Senior Sister Xin Xiu and Senior Brother Wu.” Yan Ji had long since heard Ning Cheng introduce Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong, so he hurriedly spoke out in greeting.
Ning Cheng shook his head, “Senior sister Ji has only come to her senses, her roots are not yet repaired and she cannot cultivate yet. I will have to find the Qi Xing Golden Hidden Leaf before I can help her recover completely.”
“The Qi Xing Golden Hidden Leaf?” Wu Qihong repeated in shock, he and Xin Xiu were both alchemists and naturally knew how hard it was to find the Qi Xing Golden Hidden Leaf.
If this kind of thing was given to them to find, they would not be able to find it in their lifetime. They knew of Ning Cheng’s ability, yet they did not think that Ning Cheng would definitely be able to find the Cherry Star Golden Hidden Leaf.
Ning Cheng sighed, “No matter what, I have to find the Cherry Star Golden Hidden Leaf.”
Although Yan Ji was unable to cultivate, her essence was fine, and when she heard Ning Cheng’s words, she said softly, “Even if I can’t find it, it’s nothing, I’m already satisfied.”
“Brother Ning, a man called Percy came to visit just now, I told him to wait outside.” Xin Xiu said promptly.
“Percy?” Ning Cheng immediately recalled that bearded and rude looking fellow who was ranked second among the Twelve Sons of Tai Su. From what Jian Sanshan had said, Percy came from the mysterious sect, the Void Star Sect. This guy had approached him several times and had even helped him at the City Master’s residence.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept out and indeed found that Percy was still waiting outside, he hurriedly opened the ban and cupped his fist and said, “Daoist friend Percy please come in, as I have some business, I am sorry for the delay, please forgive me Daoist friend Percy.”
Percy laughed and returned the greeting with a clasp of his fist, “Dan Saint Ning, it is already a great joy for me that you can see me.”
Ning Cheng smiled and invited Percy into the living room to sit down. It was not unusual for Percy to know that he was a Dan Saint, and I was afraid that Percy was not the only one who knew that he was a Dan Saint.
He poured a cup of spiritual tea for Percy before Ning Cheng asked, “Fellow Daoist Percy has searched for me several times, so he must be looking for me for something?”
Percy nodded awkwardly and then said in a gruff voice, “Indeed, it is because I want to ask Daoist Friend Ning to refine a Furnace of Renewing Heavenly Ripple Bone Pill.”
Ning Cheng’s hand holding the spirit tea paused as he even asked another question, “You want to refine a Heaven Renewal Bone Pill?”
Ning Cheng naturally knew about the Renewing Heavenly Bone Pill, which was the most difficult of the Dao Dao Pills to refine, and even if a Dao Dao Sage were to refine it, the success rate would be minimal.
This kind of dan had one function, to detoxify poison. Ten of the most powerful poisons exist in the heavens and the earth, of which the Striated Bone Poison is one of them, ranking tenth. After being struck by this poison, the bones of the entire body were slowly corroded away by a stripe. The vital spirit is imprisoned in the bones of the body and cannot leave the physical body.
Some Saint Emperors with powerful cultivation levels have simply abandoned their physical bodies after being struck by the striated bone poison. However, after their spirit found a new flesh body or reshaped it, the Bone Tattooing Poison continued to corrode their bones like a maggot on the bone.
There is only one elixir that can remove this poison, and this elixir is the Bone Renewing Pill. It is a Daoist Daoist Pill, and there are three main divine spirit herbs.
One of the Dao fruits is the Golden Cicada Heart Fruit. In addition to the Golden Cicada Heart Fruit, two other regular divine spirit herbs are needed to make the Continuing Heavenly Bone Pill, the Hunting Heavenly Ganoderma and the Green Frost Underworld Branch. The value of the Hun Tian Zhi and Qing Frost Meditation Branch is no less than that of the Golden Cicada Heart Fruit, which are also divine spirit herbs containing the rules of heaven and earth.
It could be said that the ingredients for a single Furnace Renewal Bone Pill were priceless, and it was difficult to collect these spiritual items.
Even if the materials for this pill were gathered, almost no one would be able to refine this pill. Not only is it difficult to find the materials, but it is also the most difficult of the Dao Dao Pills to refine. Even some Dao Yuan Dan Saints may not be able to refine it.
The reason is that this Dao Pill contains three different Rule Dao Fruits or Divine Spirit Grasses, and the difficulty involved in fusing them together to form a Dao Pill can be imagined.
“That’s right, we have already collected the materials for a Furnace Renewing Heavenly Ripple Bone Pill, and it is to ask Saint Ning Dan to refine a Furnace Renewing Heavenly Ripple Bone Pill.” Percy’s tone was incomparably cautious, and the man stood up as he replied.
Ning Cheng shook his head, “I’m sorry, I’m afraid my level is still lacking if I want to refine a Heaven Renewing Bone Pill. The Dan Discourse Event is coming up soon, when that time comes, all of the strongest alchemists in the entire Tai Su Realm will gather together. I think Daoist Friend Percy should moreover go looking for a dan master at the Dan Discourse Event, rather than looking for a halfway decent dan master like me.”
Ning Cheng did not hesitate to refuse such a thing. Kidding aside, how much precious material was used for a single Furnace Continuation of the Sky Ripple Bone Pill? If he broke it by refining it, he wouldn’t be able to afford to pay for it. If Percy had obtained several stoves of this kind of material, he might have even considered it, but with only one stove of the material for the Heaven Renewal Bone Pill, he refused without even thinking about it.
After hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Percy sighed and bowed to Ning Cheng, “Dan Sage Ning, I know that if there is still someone in the Tai Su Realm who can refine the Continuing Heavenly Pattern Bone Pill, it is only you, Dan Sage Ning.”
Ning Cheng frowned slightly, “Fellow Daoist Percy, I am afraid that you have misunderstood something. Even if I make an assumption, even if that Illusory Fruit Garden’s He Bodhisattva Pill and Nine-Trunked Heart Pill were refined by me, that kind of level would not be able to refine the Continuing Heavenly Ripple Bone Pill.”
Percy said even more earnestly, “I know that Dan Saint Ning is at least a Dao of Transformation Dan Saint, and there aren’t many Dao of Transformation Dan Saints who are able to refine Extraordinary Violet Sky Pills in the Tai Su Realm. Even the Dan Guild’s Guild Master, Dao Yuan Dan Saint Si Chen Qiu Tian, is only at this level, I’m afraid.
As long as Dan Saint Ning is willing to take the plunge, even if it fails in the end, I, the Void Star Sect, promise that I will definitely not hold Dan Saint Ning half responsible. If the refinement is successful, we will only need half of the Heaven Renewal Bone Pill. The other half will be given to Dansheng Ning as a reward, other than that, the items of the Void Star Sect are at the disposal of Dansheng Ning. It is also promised that all of Dan Saint Ning’s opponents in the Tai Su Realm will be my Void Star Sect’s opponents.”
Ning Cheng was moved when he heard this, he had never been to a mysterious sect. Yet, he knew that in the Tai Su Realm, every Mysterious Sect was no weaker than the Ten Great Sects. For such a sect to let him pick something at will, it was evident how important this person who had been poisoned with the Bone Tattoo was to the Void Star Sect.
Moreover, Ning Cheng knew who he had offended, the Dragon Emperor of the Savage Dragon Clan, Savage Huishan, the Tongmingzi of the River Sacred Sect, and even the City Lord’s House of Tiansu Sacred City had an opinion about him. With so many powerful opponents that the Void Star Sect was willing to take on, it would be strange for the Void Star Sect to be simple in poisoning people.
Ning Cheng once again took a deep breath, still shaking his head, “Sorry, my strength is limited and I am unable to refine this potion.”
He was eager to help out with this favour, and there was some measure in his heart. Such an important potion, in case he failed to refine it, then the Void Star Sect would definitely go crazy. With his strength, he could not afford such madness from the Void Star Sect.
Don’t look at the number of people he had offended, but in fact he knew that on the surface he wouldn’t have any problems. Barbarian Huishan did not dare to make a move against him, and Tongmingzi did not dare to make a move against him openly either. As for the deep-rooted Le Jiesheng, he would not even make a move against him openly. In addition, he had a friend in Sung Hou Tian, and in fact, he was as stable as a mountain in Tian Su Holy City.
Once he left Tian Su Holy City, even the Barbarian Society Mountain could not catch him, so what was Tong Ming Zi.
This was something he had thought through clearly for a long time, but once he offended the Void Star Sect, it would be a completely different story, and this balance would immediately be broken, and he would probably have to die for his life.
“Then I won’t bother Brother Ning.” A hint of disappointment flashed across Percy’s eyes and he became gloomy. He knew Ning Cheng’s scruples, and there was nothing he could do if Ning Cheng was unwilling to refine it.
Ning Cheng was also somewhat apologetic, he really did not dare to guarantee that this Furnace Continuation of the Heavenly Pattern Bone Pill would be successful, if he could guarantee it, he was indifferent.
Percy walked to the door and suddenly turned back and said, “There is one thing I almost forgot, if you want the Qi Xing Gold Hidden Leaf, you can go to the Burial Shadow Blue Sands in the Tai Su Market. One of the elders of my Void Star Sect had seen the Erythrina Golden Hidden Leaf in the Blue Sands of Burial Shadows when he was searching for the Green Frost Meditation Branch. I asked that elder not long ago and he couldn’t remember the exact location, otherwise, I could have engraved a jade slip for you ……”
“Don’t ever go.” Yan Ji interrupted Percy’s words in panic, she had been surviving in the Tai Su Ruins for years and was all too familiar with the Burial Shadow Blue Sands, the lowest cultivation level that could enter the Burial Shadow Blue Sands was that of a Transformation Dao Saint Emperor. Among them, those who could come out alive were few and far between. Even if she died, she did not want Ning Cheng to go to the Burying Shadow Blue Sands in the Tai Su Ruins.
“Why don’t you use this to trade with me, as long as you tell me that you know where the Qi Xing Golden Hidden Leaf might exist, perhaps I will agree to help you with the alchemy?” Ning Cheng looked at Percy and asked calmly.
Percy smiled lightly, “Dan Sage Ning, I admired your persona at the City Lord’s Palace. Whether you consider me as a friend or not, I, Percy, consider you as a friend to be made. I have never just exchanged with my friends, things that blackmail my friends, I Percy never do.”
The tone of his voice revealed a powerful pride.
Ning Cheng had dealt with the Twelve Sons of Tai Su too many times, and each and every one of the Twelve Sons of Tai Su was very proud. But this kind of pride of Percy’s Ning Cheng appreciated, it was a kind of pride that came from his bones, not the kind of arrogant pride for the sake of face and fame.
Ning Cheng took a few steps up and patted Percy on the shoulder, “Percy, thank you for treating me as a friend. I’ll refine that furnace of yours to renew the Sky Ripple Bone Pill.”
“Dan Saint Ning ……” Percy looked at Ning Cheng with some disbelief, before he had promised a condition that no one could refuse, Ning Cheng was not even willing to risk helping him with the Void Star Sect’s pill refining. And now, he had only casually told Ning Cheng about a place where the Qi Xing Golden Hidden Leaf might appear, and Ning Cheng had agreed?
He quickly reacted and quickly turned around and said with delight, “Thank you, Dan Sage Ning, even if you fail in refining the pills, even if I, Percy, am killed, I will not let you be half damaged.”
Ning Cheng smiled, “I just trust you, that’s why I agreed to help you refine your pills. From now on, don’t call me any Ning Dan Sage, just call me Ning Cheng directly, you’re a friend I’ve made.”
Percy laughed, “Everyone who knows me calls me West Beard, Brother Ning should also call me West Beard directly from now on.”
Ning Cheng looked at the bearded Percy and said to himself that this nickname was quite appropriate.
