“Brother Ning, I will immediately send a message back to the clan and ask my Void Star Sect elders to bring medicinal herbs to Tian Su Sacred City.” Having obtained Ning Cheng’s consent, Percy was eagerly about to take his leave.
Ning Cheng had thought that he would have to make a trip to the Void Star Sect, but now that Percy said that he would bring the medicinal materials for alchemy to Tian Su Sacred City, it was obvious that he did not want him to run away.
He hadn’t really wanted to go to these mysterious sects either, and after learning about the origin of the Eosin Golden Hidden Leaf, he was anxious in his heart to go to the Tai Su Market to look for the Eosin Golden Hidden Leaf.
Furthermore, although he had agreed to help with the alchemy, he had to think of his own safety. Percy should be trustworthy, except that Percy was only a Saint Emperor who had just shaped his dao, and it was conceivable how much say he could have in the Void Star Sect. In Tiansu Holy City, at least there was still Sung Hou Tian to help him.
After sending Percy away, Ning Cheng looked at the worried Yan Ji and said, “Senior sister Ji, you don’t have to worry, I won’t put myself in danger. Others can come out of the Burial Shadow Blue Sands, so I can.”
Yan Ji nodded her head and did not continue to advise Ning Cheng. She would always be with Ning Cheng, and even if she fell, she would fall together.
……
Time passed in a hurry, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Ning Cheng had not left his room at the Rest Inn for a single step during these ten days.
In his room, he had transplanted all those divine spirit grasses and dao fruit trees into the Xuanhuang Pearl world, while also staying in his room to refine dao pills.
No one knew how many divine spirit grasses and dao fruits he had obtained, and one of him had to prepare for the upcoming Dan Discourse Event, and one of him did not want to have any problems while refining the Continuing Sky Ripple Bone Pill.
He had so many Dao Fruits and Divine Spirit Grasses that all kinds of Dao Pills could be refined at will. In order to have a deeper control over the rules of Dao Fruits, Ning Cheng even specialized in refining Dao Pills that had several kinds of Dao Fruits or Dao Fruits and Rule Divine Spirit Grasses fused together.
Furnace after furnace of Dao Pills were refined by Ning Cheng, who was completely immersed in the fusion of the rules of various Dao Fruits and the perception of the Dao of Dao.
Seeing that the Dan Discourse Event was about to begin, Ning Cheng then put away the furnace and opened the ban to walk out of the room. For this Dan Discourse Event, he decided to bring Yan Ji and Xin Xiu and Wu Qi Hong along with him.
In a place like the Dan Discourse Event, Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong were not qualified to participate. As an alchemist, there were definitely many benefits to attending such an event. Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong were both alchemists struggling at the bottom, and now that they were with him, Ning Cheng wanted to let them cross over to a higher level. Yan Ji, who could not cultivate because his roots were damaged, also followed Ning Cheng to learn some divine Spirit Grass herbs.
“Big Brother Ning, there is someone called Cen Ruxuan who asks to see you, saying that she is from the Sinking Fish Palace.” Xin Xiu hurried over when he saw Ning Cheng leave the gate and said.
Cen Ruxuan of the Sunken Fish Palace? Ning Cheng’s divine sense landed outside the door and immediately saw the woman who had questioned him and Bodan at the City Lord’s Palace. To be honest, Ning Cheng was not fond of this woman. Percy knew that he could refine the Violet Heavenly Pill and knew that he shouldn’t say it in the City Lord’s residence.
Knowing was one thing, being confirmed by everyone was another. This woman had no qualms about asking him and the Bodhisattva Dan in public, and had no consideration for him at all, which irritated him.
Beside Cen Ruxuan were two other women, one of whom Ning Cheng knew, Connie Zhong Meng Yu. This woman had low eyes and had been chided by him once. Standing on the other side of Cen Ruxuan was a woman with a veil on her face, and looking at that figure, it was even three times softer than Lan Bing of the Lan Cheng Wishing Clan.
“Invite them in.” This time, Ning Cheng did not take the initiative to open the forbidden system, but only asked Xin Xiu to do so.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Cen Ruxuan was already a Dao Yuan and came from the Sinking Fish Palace, he wouldn’t even want to see them.
“Cen Ruxuan of the Sunken Fish Palace has met Dan Sage Ning.” Cen Ruxuan seemed to know that he had been a little presumptuous at the City Master’s Palace and did not come in as a Dao Yuan powerhouse to face Ning Cheng.
However, when he spoke, he still addressed Ning Cheng as Dan Saint.
“Senior Cen, please sit down.” After letting the three sit down, Ning Cheng poured a few cups of spiritual tea at the same time.
Whether they liked it or not, they were guests when they came here, and superficial politeness was still necessary.
“I don’t dare to call you senior, if Dan Sage Ning looks up to me, just call me Senior Sister Ruxuan.” As Cen Ruxuan spoke, her eyes swept over from Yan Ji who was sitting beside Ning Cheng.
Yan Ji looked weak, but her looks were clearly stronger than Connie Zhong Meng Yu’s, even when compared to Yue Shu. If it wasn’t for the fact that Yue Shu had come to Tian Su Holy City, she would have come to visit Ning Cheng ten days ago. Now, it seemed that Ning Cheng had a daoist couple.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “There is a vast difference in cultivation between junior and senior, so it would be appropriate to honor a senior.”
Cen Ruxuan sighed in her heart, Ning Cheng’s words meant that I couldn’t climb high above you, everyone’s bridges returned to their paths. She knew that it must be her words at the City Lord’s residence that had not made much of a good impression on Ning Cheng.
Connie Zhong Meng Yu knew something about Ning Cheng’s temperament, so she was not surprised. The woman with the gauze scarf on her face sitting next to Cen Ruxuan was surprised and took a closer look at Ning Cheng, she naturally knew that Ning Cheng was a casual cultivator. A casual cultivator could actually refuse the goodwill of one of the Ten Great Sects, the Sinking Fish Palace, to ally with him, this was definitely something rare.
Aunt Xuan’s meaning was obvious, that was, my Sinking Fish Palace wanted to befriend you. To be honest, she was somewhat reluctant in her heart about Aunt Xuan calling her to Tian Su Holy City to meet a dan master. For the sake of the Sinking Fish Palace, she did not reveal this emotion.
Now, Ning Cheng’s behaviour had caused her to feel some slight displeasure. What kind of place was the Sunken Fish Palace? Not to mention that it was full of beautiful women, it was even one of the ten great sects. What kind of strength did Ning Cheng, a casual dan master, have to refuse such a gesture?
Cen Ruxuan sighed in her heart, but on the surface, she smiled slightly and said, “I would like to seek two He Bodhisattva Pills from Dan Sage Ning, please ask him for a price ……”
After saying that, as if she felt that her words were somewhat lacking in warmth, she added, “My Sunken Fish Palace has a Sunken Fish Ice Pond, which is especially suitable for women of the Water Attribute to cultivate. Cultivating in it for a day is more effective than cultivating outside for a month. Even if you are not a woman of the water attribute, you can still get ten times more effect from cultivating in it. On top of that, the Sinking Fish Ice Pond also had the effect of clearing the spirit. If Dan Sage Ning doesn’t want anything else, he can also take your Daoist partner to the Sinking Fish Pond to cultivate.”
One of these words was a continued gesture of goodwill towards Ning Cheng, and the other was an indirect enquiry as to whether Ning Cheng had a daoist couple.
When Ning Cheng heard that it was suitable for a woman with water attribute to cultivate, he thought of Luo Fei. How would it be if Fei Luo, who had a main water spirit root, could cultivate in the Sinking Fish Ice Pond?
He had several bottles of He Bodhi Pills that he had later refined on him, and as for divine crystals, he had plenty of them now. Divine Spirit Grass, he was not short of it either.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng directly took out a jade bottle containing two He Bodhisattva Pills and sent it to Cen Ruxuan, “Senior Sister Ruxuan, here are two He Bodhisattva Pills. As for the divine crystals, I don’t want them, I might have to borrow the Sinking Fish Ice Pond from the Sinking Fish Palace for a while in the future.”
Cen Ruxuan secretly sighed in her heart, this Ning Cheng was too realistic. Earlier, he was still calling out Senior Cen, saying that it was proper to call him senior, this was clearly because he did not want to have any dealings with the Sunken Fish Palace. Now after hearing about the Sinking Fish Ice Pond, he immediately changed his name to Senior Sister Ruxuan.
However, in her heart, she was also secretly amazed at Ning Cheng’s ability, a precious divine pill like the He Bodhisattva Pill, he had taken it out when he said he would, without any compromise at all, this at least showed that she had not found the wrong person.
Connie Zhong Meng Yu’s face remained calm, she had been out in the world for a long time and felt normal about Ning Cheng’s reaction. A hint of contempt flashed in the eyes of the woman with the veil on her face, how could such a person who saw the wind and the rudder be worthy of her favour? The kind of Daoist partner she wanted was the kind of strong person with a steadfast temperament and unyielding might, not this kind of fickle person who would change for a mere ice pond.
Ning Cheng naturally did not know what this woman was thinking, and in fact he did not know why Cen Caixuan had come here and brought along two followers.
He only knew that since he was going to let Fei Luo go to the Sinking Fish Palace to cultivate, it was necessary to pull some strings with Ceng Caixuan. Even if he knew that the other party despised it, he wouldn’t care. This was supposed to be a deal, he had paid for something, he just hadn’t gotten what he wanted back for the time being, so naturally he couldn’t not climb the relationship at all.
Cen Caixuan opened the jade bottle, and there were indeed two He Bodhisattva Pills, and they were also Extraordinary Divine Pills. She hurriedly stood up and thanked Ning Cheng, “Many thanks to Dan Sage Ning for the Harmony Bodhisattva Pills, if there is anything that I, Cen Caixuan, need to help with, Dan Sage Ning can also come to me.”
She did not mention the matter of marriage with Ning Cheng again, Ning Cheng obviously did not have any intention of drawing a relationship with the Sinking Fish Palace, it would be asking for trouble if she continued to mention the marriage.
……
When Ning Cheng brought Yan Ji, Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong to the Dan Fair, thousands of people had already gathered in the Dan Fair Square.
The Dan Guild’s Dan Discourse Square was not an open-air square, but a square inside the Dan Guild. This square had been carved by many powerful Dan masters with their own Dan Dao dao rhymes, and some low-level Dan masters who came here could still sense many things from these Dan Dao dao rhymes even if they did not listen to the Dan Discourse event.
The square is fan-shaped, and those with a lower level of dan dao can only be placed at the back. At the top of the square is the alchemy demonstration stage, which is also a place for dan masters to discuss and compare their dans.
Not only do the Dan masters come on stage to talk about their Dao, but if their Dao does not match, there is also a competition. Only the few Dan masters who win at the end are qualified to represent the Tai Su Realm in a Dan discussion with other interfaces and compete for a place in the Tai Yi Realm.
A Dao-shaping Dan God could only bring one person into the Dan Discussion Square, and as Ning Cheng had brought three people with him, he had to take out the Dao-shaping Dan God’s qualification token to enter.
“Brother Ning, I’ve been waiting for you for a while” Jian Sanshan’s voice came in time, he had looked for Ning Cheng several times while he was in seclusion. Since he had never met Ning Cheng, he simply waited outside the Dan Discourse Square this time.
With Jian Sanshan, the Dao Transformation Dan God, Ning Cheng even dispensed with the Dao Transformation Dan God qualification token and entered the Dao Transformation Dan God seats of the Dan Discourse Event with Jian Sanshan and the three others.
“Dan God Ning ……” Just as Ning Cheng sat down, Cen Caixuan brought two female disciples to sit not far from the Dan Listening Seat and took the initiative to greet Ning Cheng.
The seats in the Dan Discourse Square were divided into two parts, one for the dan masters and one for the guests listening to the pans. As one of the ten clans, Ceng Caixuan was qualified to sit at the front of the Dan listening guests.
“Ning Cheng, I’m here too.” As soon as Percy arrived, he greeted from afar and sat near Cen Caixuan.
Ning Cheng had just answered when he saw several people walk in from the other end of the Dan Discourse Square. Sheng Houtian was walking in the second position, and in front of him was a beardless man dressed in a black Dan Saint Dao robe. Ning Cheng’s heart shook as soon as he saw the man. He sensed an aura of Dao rhythm on this man that blended into the entire space, an aura that seemed to be the Dao of Dan, yet seemed to have nothing to do with the Dao of Dan.
So powerful, Ning Cheng inhaled, he guessed that this man should be the First Guild Master of the Dan Association, Si Chen Qiu Tian.
