Ning Cheng's words immediately attracted many people's attention. Even if someone wanted to say it, it should have been Si Chen Qiu Tian who said it. Ning Cheng's words, to put it bluntly, were offending his superiors.
Si Chen Qiu Tian nodded to Ning Cheng with a smile and then calmly said to the purple-robed man, "My Grand Essence Realm will continue to participate in the competition."
Si Chen Qiu Tian understood Ning Cheng's meaning. Ning Cheng knew that his Alchemy Dao had cracks. The reason why Ning Cheng said it was to help him build up his confidence in the Alchemy Dao.
Ning Cheng's starting point was good, but Si Chen Qiu Tian knew that it would be difficult. Once he failed, the cracks in his Alchemy Dao would grow bigger and bigger, and it might even affect Ning Cheng. If he stopped now, it could be said that he didn't use his full strength.
If he continued to compete, he would have a high chance of failing. Because Si Chen Qiu Tian knew who the people here were. Ning Cheng was a Primordial Dao Pill Saint, but there were not only Primordial Dao Pill Saints but also Primordial Chaos Pill Saints.
In any case, although Ning Cheng helped himself, it was also equivalent to helping Si Chen Qiu Tian. Even if Ning Cheng failed in the end, Si Chen Qiu Tian wouldn't be unhappy with Ning Cheng because of this.
"Union Master Si Chen, is this the alchemist from your Grand Essence Realm who came to participate in the pill competition?" The purple-robed man on the stage asked Ning Cheng.
"Not yet. He lacks a spot. I came here for his spot. If I offended you, please forgive me, Brother Kong." Si Chen Qiu Tian cupped his fists and spoke with a calm voice.
"This competition is a relaxed and casual affair. There are no rules, as long as you win." The purple-robed man nodded and spoke in a calm tone.
It was just as he said. If there were strict rules, then the first round of the pill discussion wouldn't have used this method to identify divine grasses. Because this method allowed the people around him to communicate with each other.
"Brother Kong, please wait a moment." Just when the purple-robed man was about to speak, a dark-skinned man stood up and cupped his fists.
"Oh, what does Union Master Lu want to say?" The purple-robed man asked.
The dark-skinned man spoke up, "I want to ask this Grand Essence Realm Alchemy Master a few questions. I have no other intentions."
The purple-robed man smiled faintly. "Of course. I've already said that this discussion of alchemy will be a relaxing affair. Everyone can just casually discuss the Dao of alchemy together."
Ning Cheng wondered what this black man wanted to ask him when Sire Qiu Tian's voice sounded in his ear. "This person is the Grand Beginning Realm Pill Association's Association Master Lu Dongce. I heard that he's a Primordial Essence Pill Saint, but I've never seen him refine medicinal pills. I don't know if it's true or not. I'm afraid he doesn't have good intentions when he asks you questions. Be careful when you answer him. "
"I am Lu Dongce. May I know how to address this alchemist?" Lu Dongce's tone was rather polite. He was not aggressive at all.
Ning Cheng cupped his fists, "Grand Essence Ning Cheng, if Dao Friend Lu has any questions, please enlighten me."
Lu Dongce was infuriated. Ning Cheng was only a Dao Nourishment Divine Emperor while he was a Primordial Essence Divine Emperor. A Dao Nourishment Divine Emperor dared to call a Primordial Essence Divine Emperor dao friend instead of qian bei. Coupled with Ning Cheng's previous words, he was even more certain that Ning Cheng was a madman.
"Pill Master Ning just said that the reason why other people can recognize more divine herbs is because there are more people, right?" Lu Dongce's tone was no longer as polite as before.
Only then did Ning Cheng understand why the other party was angry. It turned out to be because of this. From the looks of it, Lu Dongce didn't ask anyone to help him recognize the divine herbs. He recognized them all by himself.
In fact, Ning Cheng was really wrong. Which one of the Association Masters who came here wasn't a talented person? In this kind of alchemy competition, these Association Masters disdained asking for help from others. Don't look at how they brought some participating alchemists. In fact, it was their own ability to recognize the divine herbs. It definitely wasn't what Ning Cheng said.
It was just that the other Association Masters didn't take Ning Cheng's words to heart at all. What you think is what you think, and the truth is the truth. Only Lu Dongce had a straightforward personality and didn't allow any sand to enter his eyes. In terms of Alchemy Dao, he would never admit that he was worse than others. Now that someone doubted his Alchemy Dao level, he couldn't help it.
Knowing this, Si Chen Qiu Tian sighed helplessly when he heard Ning Cheng's comforting words. Because in fact, he, Si Chen Qiu Tian, wasn't as good as others.
Ning Cheng spread out his hands, "Dao Friend Lu, I just said that others had many people around them. I didn't say that someone helped them cheat."
The purple-robed man heard Ning Cheng's words and immediately said, "Dao Friend Ning, there's no problem of cheating here. Even if someone helped you, as long as you can recognize them, it's still allowed. "
"Oh, then I won't have any problems. Dao Friend Lu, you're overthinking things. Just now, Senior Kong also said that it's allowed for people to help. "Ning Cheng spoke up.
Ning Cheng's act of disrespecting his seniors not only upset Lu Dongce, but also the others. A middle-aged woman sitting next to Lu Dongce spoke up in a cold voice, "So Pill Master Ning is even stronger than Association Master Si Chen? If Pill Master Ning were here just now, you would have recognized more than 12 divine herbs in the Grand Essence Realm. "
Ning Cheng felt angry. The reason why he spoke like this wasn't because he wanted to be arrogant, but because he wanted to help Si Chen Qiu Tian perfect his Alchemy Dao Heart. Just now, when Si Chen Qiu Tian had failed, no one had come forward to comfort him. He didn't believe that no one could see that Si Chen Qiu Tian's Alchemy Dao runes were messy.
Even if he mocked Si Chen Qiu Tian, it was better than ignoring him and chatting.
Lu Dongce's words might have been because he felt wronged, but this middle-aged woman was clearly fishing in troubled waters and wanted to sprinkle salt on Si Chen Qiu Tian's wounds.
When he was about to fail in refining the Six Yin Soul Soul Pill, Si Chen Qiu Tian had been worried that his Dao Heart would be scarred and had taken the initiative to help. Ning Cheng had always remembered this kindness. Now that Si Chen Qiu Tian's Alchemy Dao Heart had been scarred, how could he let this middle-aged woman sprinkle salt on it?
"Who are you?" Ning Cheng's tone had been as if he was speaking to Lu Dongce as an equal. At this moment, Ning Cheng was simply speaking in a condescending tone.
The middle-aged woman's face sank. "You're just a Dao Birth Sacred Emperor. How dare you talk to me like this?"
"This is the Great Ultimate Realm's Primordial Dao Alchemy Sacred Emperor, Che Beiji. She's also the Great Ultimate Realm's Elixir Association Master." Si Chen Qiu Tian was afraid that Ning Cheng would speak nonsense, so he quickly explained.
Ning Cheng softened his tone and said faintly, "In terms of cultivation level, I believe that Guild Master Che is the number one expert in the entire Five Realms' Void City. Therefore, you don't have to point out that I only have a Dao Birth cultivation level. However, this is a place to discuss alchemy, not cultivation. "
Che Beiji's face turned extremely ugly. She was only at the early-stage Primordial Dao. In terms of cultivation level, she could count backward. Ning Cheng's words were akin to slapping her in the face.
Without waiting for Che Beiji to refute, Ning Cheng added, "I'll answer your question now. When I was refining the Heaven Essence Heavenly Pill, I specially went to consult Guild Master Si Chen. After receiving Union Head Si Chen's guidance, I suddenly understood. That's not all. When I was refining the Six Yin Soul Soul Pill, I was on the verge of failure. With Guild Master Si Chen's guidance, I finally succeeded.
Therefore, in terms of Alchemy Dao, I'm barely stronger than you, but I'm far inferior to Guild Master Si Chen. When it comes to identifying divine grasses, I'm not worse than anyone else. "
Si Chen Qiu Tian felt a trace of warmth in his heart. What Ning Cheng said was true. Whether it was the Six Yin Soul Soul Pill or the Heaven Essence Heavenly Pill, he had given Ning Cheng advice. Because Ning Cheng spoke the truth, he did not have even half a shred of estrangement in his heart and completely accepted Ning Cheng's words.
Some disdainful gazes on Ning Cheng in the hall suddenly changed when they heard that Ning Cheng had even refined the Six Yin Soul Soul Pill. An Alchemy Saint who could refine the Six Yin Soul Soul Pill was at least a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint, and not an ordinary Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint. Ning Cheng didn't look old, but he was already a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint. How could his future achievements be low?
When did the Great Essence Realm's Alchemy Dao become so strong? Ning Cheng could refine the Six Yin Soul Soul Pill, but he didn't even have a place in the competition? Didn't this mean that the other five participants were all Primordial Dao Alchemy Saints? For a moment, everyone had their own thoughts.
Hearing Ning Cheng say that he wasn't worse than her in identifying divine grasses, Che Beiji calmed down. She stood up to please Lu Dongce. But if Lu Dongce didn't come out to help her, then she wouldn't need to continue trying to please him. Besides, Ning Cheng had refined the Six Yin Soul Soul Pill, which meant that his Alchemy Dao strength shouldn't be any worse than hers.
Sure enough, Lu Dongce sneered, "In that case, I'll come and identify the divine grasses with Pill Master Ning."
After saying that, Lu Dongce cupped his fists towards the purple-robed man and said, "Brother Kong, please set the question."
Si Chen Qiu Tian quickly sent a sound transmission to Ning Cheng, "Don't compete with Lu Dongce in identifying divine grasses. Just now, out of the twenty divine grasses, only one person managed to identify all of them. That person was Lu Dongce."
Ning Cheng felt secretly surprised. Was this Lu Dongce really that powerful?
The purple-robed man looked at Ning Cheng and asked, "Pill Master Ning, now that President Lu wants to compete with you in identifying divine grasses, what does Pill Master Ning think?"
Ning Cheng showed a calm smile, "Naturally. Since it's a competition, it naturally has a stake. I wonder if this stake is a place in the competition, or something else? "
The purple-robed man chuckled, "This is a competition between the two of you. It has nothing to do with a place in the competition."
Lu Dongce directly took out a thick ancient book and placed it on the table, "This is the most precious ancient book on the Dao of Alchemy that I've obtained since I started practicing alchemy. It's called Universe Vegetation. It's all because of this ancient book that I could become a Primordial Chaos Pill Saint and identify all the divine grasses. If you beat me, this ancient book will be yours. "
Seeing Lu Dongce take out this thick ancient book, everyone in the hall stared straight at it. Everyone here was a powerhouse in the Dao of Alchemy. Who wouldn't want this Universe Vegetation?
Ning Cheng also felt eager in his heart. In fact, although he had seen a lot of Alchemy Dao jade strips, none of them were precious. Most of them were second-rate goods bought from merchant houses. Lu Dongce's Universe Vegetation was definitely a treasure among the ancient books on the Dao of Alchemy. If he could obtain this ancient book, his attainment in the Dao of Alchemy would undoubtedly improve further.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng took out a jade bottle and placed it on the table without hesitation, "This is a trace of fire-attributed primal chaos qi that I bought at an auction …."
As soon as they heard the words' primal chaos qi ', many eyes immediately swept over. Who didn't know the effect of primal chaos qi on a cultivator? Although fire-attributed primal chaos qi wasn't the most primitive, it was more tempting to Pill Saints.
"This bottle of fire-attributed primal chaos qi isn't as valuable as the Universe Vegetation." The purple-robed man's gaze swept over the jade bottle that Ning Cheng took out and spoke with a calm tone.
Lu Dongce showed a slight smile, "It's not easy for him to take out a trace of five-element primal chaos qi. I happen to lack this thing. Let's do it."
Since Lu Dongce agreed, the purple-robed man naturally wouldn't say anything else. Raising his hand, he took out a divine grass, "This is the first divine grass. The two of you, identify it and write the answer on the jade strip."
Ning Cheng sighed. Sure enough, just as he thought, he couldn't identify the first divine grass.
