Ning Cheng was a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint, so he naturally wanted to ask Ning Cheng for alchemy. However, Cen Ruxuan and Gong Ximao only asked Ning Cheng to refine a few batches of medicinal pills for them. They didn't say anything about the medicinal pills. Obviously, the two of them did not want to let the other know the name of the pill that they wanted Ning Cheng to refine.
Ning Cheng also understood the truth behind this, as the few of them interjected into the topic, and the conversation was quite congenial.
Because Ning Cheng didn't want to stay in the Sea Dragon Sacred City for too long, after everyone chatted for a while, Ning Cheng proposed to head to the Heaven Essence Sacred City immediately. Since Ning Cheng wanted to leave, Cen Ruxuan and Gong Ximao naturally had no objections.
"Mo, my name is Ning Cheng and I am also a Pill Master. Do you want to come with me to the Heaven Essence Sacred City now, or do you want to stay in the Sea Dragon Sacred City? "Ning Cheng looked at Martial Cultivator Mo beside him.
Mo bowed to Ning Cheng and said, "After leaving the Sea Dragon Sacred City, I plan to head to the Grand Essence Sea to gain experience."
Hearing that Mo didn't want to go to Heaven Essence Sacred City, Ning Cheng didn't care about it. He just stood up and said goodbye to Mo. Mo was a Martial Cultivator, and Martial Cultivators lived the life of an ascetic monk.
…
Thousand Leaves Sacred City was located in the northernmost part of the Grand Essence Domain, on the southern shore of the Grand Essence Sea.
This was also the place with the most teleportation arrays. Whether it was from the Grand Essence Sea to the Grand Essence Domain or from other places to the Grand Essence Domain, one had to pass through Thousand Leaves Sacred City. If Ning Cheng had teleported from the Divine Sea City before, he would have had to pass through the Thousand Leaves Sacred City.
Apart from him, Ba Meng, Gongxi Mao, and Cen Ruxuan, there was also Palace Master Luan. Palatial Lord Luan was the only Primordial Chaos expert among the five.
Palatial Lord Luan's appearance was not inferior to Yin Yueshu's. She was also a stunning woman. However, a pair of evil almond-shaped eyes ruined her beautiful appearance, making her look somewhat cold.
In fact, from the moment Ning Cheng saw Palace Master Luan in the Sunken Fish Palace, he had not heard her speak much. Rather than saying that they were travelling together, it would be better to say that they were here to help Ning Cheng with his Alchemy, as well as fulfilling their bodyguard duties.
After arriving at the Thousand Leaves Sacred City, Ning Cheng became even more careful. He knew that if the person who lured him out wanted to make a move, it would definitely be in Thousand Leaves Holy City. Other than the Thousand Leaves Holy City, there was no better place to strike.
Although Thousand Leaf Sacred City and Heaven Essence Sacred City were both located in the Grand Essence Domain, they were still too far away from each other. Even the teleportation array between Thousand Leaves Sacred City and Heaven Essence Sacred City could only be used once a day.
When Ning Cheng's group of five arrived at the Thousand Leaf Sacred City, the teleportation array to the Heaven Essence Sacred City had already been used once. If they wanted to use it again, they would have to wait until the next day.
This night was the key. Ning Cheng understood this truth, and so did Cen Ruxuan and the others. So that night, the five of them directly discussed Dao techniques in the inn.
The night quickly passed by, but no one came to attack Ning Cheng. He did not know if it was because he did not receive the news of Ning Cheng's return, or because he knew that the bodyguards around Ning Cheng were too strong.
In just one night of Dao Discussion, Ning Cheng had gained a lot of benefits. Among the five people here, his cultivation was the lowest. Be it Cen Ruxuan or Gongxi Mao, their experience and cultivation insights were not something he could compare to.
Unfortunately, Palace Master Luan never spoke; as such, Ning Cheng could not obtain even the slightest benefit from her.
The next day, the five people passed through the Thousand Leaves Sacred City's transmission array and arrived at the Heaven Essence Sacred City.
Heaven Essence Sacred City had many powerhouses. Even Primordial Essence Holy Emperors would not dare to attack Ning Cheng here. Because as soon as they attacked, they would immediately attract a powerful counterattack. Not only that, but it would also immediately expose their identities.
Therefore, after Ning Cheng arrived at the Heaven Essence Sacred City, he was theoretically safe.
After coming out of the Heaven Essence Sacred City's transmission array, Cen Ruxuan and the others immediately bid farewell to Ning Cheng and said that they would visit Ning Cheng in a few days. Ning Cheng also understood what they meant. Since he came here, Ning Cheng naturally had to go to the Pill Association to heal Cheng Houtian. And when they came to see Ning Cheng in a few days, it would be the time for Ning Cheng to fulfill his promise.
Ning Cheng took Ba Meng and said goodbye to the others. At the same time, he felt even more thirst for strength. With a strong alchemy ability, one could indeed find a powerful bodyguard. But that wouldn't be their own strength. A bodyguard wouldn't stay with them forever. Even if they did, it would be for the sake of benefits.
"Brother Ning Cheng, I didn't expect you to be a Pill Sage. What kind of Pill Sage are you?" After the others left, Ba Meng asked Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng smiled, "I was originally a Dao Transformation Pill Sage, but I'll soon become a Primordial Dao Pill Sage."
The reason why Ning Cheng said this was because Ning Cheng felt sure that the Sunken Fish Palace and the Silver Dragon Clan wouldn't ask him to refine Dao Transformation Pills. Even if they did, there wouldn't be too many Dao Transformation Pills. Since these two sects were so friendly with him, they definitely wanted him to refine Primordial Dao Pills.
Ning Cheng believed that even if these two sects wanted him to refine Primordial Dao Pills, it wouldn't be a difficult pill like the Six Yin Soul Pill. Although he had refined the Six Yin Soul Pill before, Ning Cheng knew the process very well. Although he was infinitely close to becoming a Primordial Dao Pill Sage, he still wasn't a Primordial Dao Pill Sage.
According to common reasoning, these two sects wanted him to refine strategic medicinal pills to improve the strength of their sects. It was most likely a Dao Pill that could help one comprehend the Primordial Dao Realm.
With the heritage of big sects like the Sunken Fish Palace and the Silver Dragon Clan, after countless years of accumulation, the materials for Primordial Dao Pills naturally wouldn't be lacking. As long as he quoted an ordinary price, such as splitting it in half. In other words, to refine a batch of medicinal pills, he would need two batches of divine grasses.
In this way, he would have enough divine grasses to practice. Ning Cheng had said that he would soon become a Primordial Dao Pill Sage. Unless Cen Ruxuan and Gongxi Mao had a problem with their brains, they just wanted him to refine a batch of Primordial Dao Pills that were extremely difficult to refine. If that was the case, he could only admit defeat.
Ba Meng also smiled and didn't ask again. He had seen too many impossibilities from Ning Cheng, but he still couldn't figure out how Ning Cheng came out of the Dark Nether Realm. Moreover, Ning Cheng had the Seven Bridges Spirit Technique, the Five-coloured Star Splitter Arrow, the Six Yin Soul Pill …
"Brother Ba, you go find a rest stop. I'll go to the Pill Association to see Union Master Cheng." Ning Cheng was worried about Cheng Houtian's injuries. After all, he had been poisoned for several years. Ning Cheng naturally felt anxious. Ning Cheng didn't think that Cheng Houtian would die. Ancestor Kang of the Void Star Sect had been poisoned for countless years. But didn't he recover with the help of the Sky Extending Mark Bone Pill?
Ba Meng shook his head, "Although this is the Heaven Essence Sacred City, I'll go with you."
Ning Cheng understood Ba Meng's meaning and felt grateful in his heart. Friends and trading partners were different. He had made a deal with Cen Ruxuan and the others, and the deal was to ensure that he could reach the Heaven Essence Sacred City. Now that he arrived at the Heaven Essence Sacred City, Cen Ruxuan and the others had nothing to do with him. Ba Meng was his friend, and no matter what, Ba Meng would also worry about his safety.
"Okay, let's go together."
… …
Cheng Houtian wasn't the same as the other Pill Association Elders. His cave was in the Pill Association.
"Pill Sage Ning!" As soon as Ning Cheng arrived at the Pill Association, a surprised voice called out. Then, a beautiful figure rushed over and bowed to Ning Cheng.
"It's you? Congratulations on your promotion. " Ning Cheng also recognised this female cultivator. When he came here to take the Pill Association's qualification card, this female cultivator had led the way. Looking at this female cultivator's robes, Ning Cheng understood that she was also the person in charge of this place.
The female cultivator quickly spoke up, "He Jie only managed to get to where she is today because of Pill Sage Ning. Pill Sage is back, what can I do for you? "
"Take me to see Association Master Cheng." Ning Cheng nodded.
Hearing that Ning Cheng wanted to see Cheng Houtian, He Jie didn't feel surprised. However, a trace of reluctance appeared on her face.
Ning Cheng frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
"No, Pill Sage Ning, please come with me." He Jie had absolute respect for Ning Cheng. Since he had the ability, he shouldn't be arrogant.
After passing through the Pill Sage Hall and entering the backyard, He Jie stopped at the entrance of a cave after walking for a few minutes. She bowed to Ning Cheng and said, "Pill Sage Ning, this is Association Master Cheng's cave."
Ning Cheng nodded and touched the restrictions at the entrance of the cave.
When the restrictions opened, Ning Cheng didn't see Cheng Houtian. Instead, he saw a middle-stage Dao Essence Holy Emperor. Ning Cheng had seen this fellow before. He had sat next to Cheng Houtian during the Pill Discussion Conference. Ning Cheng felt a little puzzled. This fellow didn't seem friendly to him, so why was he in Cheng Houtian's cave?
At the Pill Discussion Conference, after Le Xizhen finished refining the Essence Meridian Crossing Pill, this person had been pressuring him about why he didn't refine the pill. Ning Cheng only knew that this person was a high-ranking member of the Pill Union. As for his name and position, he didn't know.
When this Dao Essence Holy Emperor saw Ning Cheng appear, he had an indifferent expression. "Pill Sage Ning, Association Master Cheng was poisoned. You really came in time."
This was a sarcastic remark. Cheng Houtian had been poisoned for two years, yet Ning Cheng had only just arrived.
Ning Cheng didn't care about this fellow's sarcasm. He just said to He Jie, "You can leave first. Many thanks."
He Jie could sense the unfriendly atmosphere and quickly bowed and left.
Ning Cheng suddenly had a feeling that Ba Meng had made the right decision to come with him.
"Wait …" This Dao Essence Holy Emperor stopped Ba Meng, who was about to enter with Ning Cheng, and said with an indifferent tone, "This is the Pill Union. Ning Cheng, you can go in. Those who came with you can only wait outside. "
Ning Cheng stared coldly at this Dao Essence Holy Emperor in front of him. "I'll count to three. If you don't scram, don't blame me for making a move."
"You dare …"
This Dao Essence Holy Emperor had just said two words when Ning Cheng brought out his long spear. Ba Meng didn't wait for Ning Cheng to speak. When Ning Cheng made his move, he also brought out his Sun Moon Pagoda, and a powerful aura enveloped the area.
A Dao Essence Holy Emperor emitted killing intent in the Pill Union. This killing intent was instantly sensed by many experts.
This mid-stage Dao Essence Holy Emperor's face turned livid. He didn't expect Ning Cheng to be so daring to use a magic treasure in the Pill Union. He wasn't afraid of Ning Cheng and Ba Meng, but because even if Ning Cheng made a move, he wouldn't be able to touch Ning Cheng. It was because of his identity as a Dao Essence Pill Sage. A Dao Essence Pill Sage's status in the Pill Union wasn't any lower than his.
"Three … Do it …" Ning Cheng only counted to three before stabbing out with his long spear. Ba Meng's Sun Moon Pagoda's aura instantly pressed down on this mid-stage Dao Essence Holy Emperor.
Even though Ba Meng deliberately didn't let his aura leak out, the surrounding array formation restrictions made cracking sounds. It seemed like it would crack in the next moment.
"Ning Cheng, hurry up and stop …" Si Chen Qiu Tian's voice came in time.
