The Taiyi Alchemy School's third round of Heavenly Qianyuan Pill Competition finally came to an end.
The dark horse of the Grand Essence Realm, Ning Cheng, didn't participate. In the end, the first place went to the Grand Change Realm's You Guzhi, and the second place went to the Grand Beginning Realm's Feng Shihao. Although Ning Cheng did not participate in the 3rd Round of the Heavenly Heaven Pill Competition, but he was still able to obtain the 3rd place.
What everyone could not understand was that Ning Cheng had not even returned when the award ceremony was about to begin.
Grand Change Pill Meet's Association Head, Mu Zuoxiao, valued Ning Cheng a lot. Even if Ning Cheng didn't return, he still gave the things that Ning Cheng deserved to Si Chen Qiu Tian. He even allowed the Grand Essence Realm to increase the number of participants to ten in the next Five Realms Pill Competition. At the same time, he also allowed some of the Grand Essence Realm's powerhouses to move to the Grand Change Realm for cultivation.
What Mu Zuoxiao wanted to do the most was to see Ning Cheng as soon as possible and exchange some pointers on the Dao of Alchemy with Ning Cheng. In fact, it wasn't just Mu Zuoxiao who wanted to see Ning Cheng. There were too many people in the entire Great Change Realm who wanted to see Ning Cheng. There were sects, Dao Courts, and even some women who thought they were stunning beauties.
At first, Sichen Qiu Tian thought that Ning Cheng would return soon. But half a year after the Five Realms Pill Competition, there was still no news of Ning Cheng. Only then did Sichen Qiu Tian feel anxious.
Not only was Si Chen Qiu Tian anxious, even Mu Zuoxiao was anxious. Other sects and Dao Court that wanted to rope in Ning Cheng gave up after Ning Cheng disappeared. Mu Zuoxiao was different. The reason he organized this competition was to find the most talented alchemist in the Five Realms.
Since the start of the Five Realms Pill Competition, one could say that Ning Cheng was the most talented Alchemist he had ever seen. Grand Change Realm's You Guzhi indeed looked good, but compared to Ning Cheng, Mu Zuoxiao felt that You Guzhi still fell short. Even if Ning Cheng did not participate in the third round of the Pill Competition, he still felt that Ning Cheng was the most talented Alchemist.
Since Ning Cheng could refine the Heaven and Earth Ephemeral Flower Pill that contained nine different attributes in the second round, it definitely wasn't just because of his talent, but also because of his own secrets. In Mu Zuoxiao's opinion, this was nothing. Who doesn't have their own secrets? If an extraordinary Alchemist did not have his own secrets, then that would be a real secret.
You Guzhi of the Great Change Realm had no secrets? How could he refine the Heaven and Earth Epiphyllum Pill without any secrets? Feng Shihao had no secrets? If he didn't have a secret, he wouldn't be able to achieve second place.
He also had his own secrets, but in the end, he still lost to that person. In Mu Zuoxiao's view, if Ning Cheng couldn't help him regain his lost breath and perfect his Dao Heart, then Feng Shihao and You Guzhi wouldn't be able to do the same.
If You Guzhi could do it, he wouldn't have to preside over the Five Realm Pill Competition every single time. He could just ask You Guzhi for help. You Guzhi was indeed talented in alchemy, and this kind of talent might lead to great achievements in the future. No matter how big he was, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat him. If he couldn't even defeat him, then there was no need to mention defeating the alchemy elite that he had lost to.
But now that Ning Cheng, whom he had managed to find with great difficulty, had unexpectedly disappeared, it made him unable to continue to sit still.
Since Mu Zuoxiao was so anxious, Si Chen Qiu Tian was naturally even more anxious. The waters of the Great Change Realm were too deep. Even if he wanted to find it, he had no idea where to start. He could only find Jing Han and the others to discuss it.
"I'm afraid that he knew that Senior Mu would hand over the reward to the Association Head, as such he deliberately stole it." The greater Ning Cheng's achievements, the more uncomfortable Jing Han felt in his heart. He came to participate in the Pill Competition, but he didn't even pass the first round. Yet, Ning Cheng managed to get third place in the Five Realm Pill Competition despite missing one round. How could he endure this?
One had to know that he, Jing Han, was the number one genius Pill Sage in the entire Grand Essence Realm. Ning Cheng was just a rogue cultivator, what was he?
"Dao Friend Jing, Pill Sage Ning isn't such a person. He must have encountered something." To Jing Han's surprise, the one who stood up to speak up for Ning Cheng was Le Xizhen, who had lost to Ning Cheng back then.
Mei Xiuwan also frowned slightly and said, "Pill Sage Ning shouldn't have done this."
Jing Han sneered, "No need? He has Association Head Lu Dongce's Universe Vegetation in his hands, and he has to return the book. Now that he's missing, how can he return it? Didn't he rely on the Universe Vegetation to get into the top three this time? Only a fool would return the book with the help of the Universe Vegetation. "
"Shut up, Ning Cheng isn't such a person ….." Si Chen Qiu Tian spoke up in anger. He had called a few people over to discuss how to find Ning Cheng. He didn't expect that Jing Han would jump out before they could even start discussing.
"That's right, Dao Friend Ning isn't such a person. Besides, even if Fellow Daoist Ning wants my Universe Vegetation, I'll just give it to him. You really do have the heart of a villain. "Lu Dongce's voice arrived just in time. Mu Zuoxiao followed behind Lu Dongce.
Jing Han's face suddenly turned ugly. But facing Lu Dongce, even if he had ten thousand guts, he wouldn't dare to refute. The owner of the matter didn't care about it, but now he said that Ning Cheng wanted the Universe Vegetation. It was an obvious sign of jealousy.
Si Chen Qiu Tian quickly stood up to greet them and at the same time instructed Jing Han and the others to leave. He felt a little embarrassed because the entire Grand Change Alchemy City knew about Ning Cheng's disappearance. Therefore, he didn't put up any soundproofing restrictions. If he had known that Mu Zuoxiao and Lu Dongce would come, he would have put up a soundproofing restriction. This was simply spreading his dirty linen in public.
After Jing Han and the others walked out, Lu Dongce took the initiative to put up a soundproofing restriction and said, "Association Head Si Chen, do you think someone would do something to Dao Friend Ning's disappearance?"
Someone? Si Chen Qiu Tian froze for a moment. Because Ning Cheng didn't tell him anything, he didn't know what Ning Cheng did in the Grand Change Realm.
Mu Zuoxiao spoke up in a deep voice, "I used many methods, but I couldn't find any news about Ning Cheng. I only know that Ning Cheng left early before the third round of the Pill Competition. But according to my investigation, not long after Ning Cheng left, Liu Fangzhen, the Liuying Dao Pavilion's Wuting Sacred Dao City, also followed him out. "
Si Chen Qiu Tian's heart thumped. He also started to suspect Liu Fangzhen. Liu Fangzhen had visited Ning Cheng before, and he was right next to him. At that time, the atmosphere didn't seem to be very good. Many people came to visit Ning Cheng, but only Liu Fangzhen came before the Five Realms Pill Competition.
However, Liu Fangzhen's power and strength weren't something that Si Chen Qiu Tian could touch. Even if he had doubts, he couldn't say anything.
Mu Zuoxiao, on the other hand, was different. He was almost on the same level as the Liuying Dao Court's Dao Monarchs. It wasn't a big deal for him to suspect a City Lord. Besides, Liu Fangzhen was indeed worthy of suspicion.
"Liu Fangzhen came to visit Ning Cheng before the Five Realms Pill Competition. Do you know about this? Later on, he left the Alchemy Dao School with Ning Cheng. Moreover, he never came back. Later, I found out that Liu Fangzhen went to see the Liuying Dao Court's Dao Monarch Jesse. Let me ask, when Liu Fangzhen came to see Pill Sage Ning, were you there? "
After Mu Zuoxiao finished speaking, he looked at Si Chen Qiu Tian.
Si Chen Qiu Tian naturally wouldn't hide anything and told him about the conversation between Mu Zuoxiao and Ning Cheng.
Whether it was Mu Zuoxiao, Lu Dongce or Si Chen Qiu Tian, which one of them wasn't a genius? Once Si Chen Qiu Tian's words came out, everyone understood that Ning Cheng's disappearance definitely had something to do with Liu Fangzhen. Moreover, the fuse was that woman called Qianqian. As for why, they would have to investigate Qianqian or Liu Fangzhen.
Mu Zuoxiao sighed and stood up, "I hope that Pill Sage Ning is blessed by the heavens and can return soon."
Si Chen Qiu Tian also sighed in his heart. He knew that Mu Zuoxiao wouldn't offend the Liuying Dao Court for Ning Cheng, whom he had never talked to before. He also wouldn't blame Mu Zuoxiao. If he were in Mu Zuoxiao's shoes, he wouldn't have done the same.
After sending off Mu Zuoxiao, Lu Dongce and Si Chen Qiu Tian sat in silence in the room. Whether it was Si Chen Qiu Tian or Lu Dongce, none of them could fight against the Liuying Dao Court.
… …
Time flew by, and time flew by.
Apart from the lively Five Realms Pill Competition fifteen years ago, the Grand Change Realm had remained abnormally calm recently. It was like a pool of clear water without any ripples.
After the Five Realms Pill Competition ended, the various Pill Union Masters left the Grand Change Realm with the pill competition participants. Si Chen Qiu Tian was no exception. After waiting for a few years without any news of Ning Cheng, he also left the Grand Change Realm. Even if the few Pill Sages who participated in the pill competition wanted to stay in the Grand Change Realm, they needed to get permission first.
Although the Grand Essence Realm had a few quotas to settle down and cultivate in the Grand Change Realm, Ning Cheng had earned these quotas. Even if Ning Cheng disappeared, Si Chen Qiu Tian didn't hand them out.
Outside a Spirit Essence Spring in the depths of the underground abyss, a cyan arch bridge and an orange arch bridge surrounded it.
No matter how many demonic creatures entered, the two bridges would sweep them away. The long Yellow River on the cyan arch bridge looked very quiet. These demonic creatures weren't worth the roaring of the Yellow River.
Perhaps because they knew about the power of the two arch bridges, many demonic creatures slowly moved away from this place. Over the years, the number of demonic creatures in the surroundings had decreased.
The boundless divine spiritual energy and nomological power in the God Essence Spring formed a storm whirlpool. This storm whirlpool was swept away by a man sitting in the God Essence Spring. The man's upper body was bare, and his strong muscles were faintly discernible in the Spirit Essence Mist. The dao runes around him almost condensed into substance.
Every time he breathed, the nomological dao runes around him would shake.
This was Ning Cheng, who cultivated here. In more than a decade, his cultivation level had not only reached the late-stage Dao Birth Realm from the early-stage Dao Birth Realm, but the dao runes around him had also become more mellow and condensed. At the same time, the fourth Yellow Springs Bridge and the fifth Rebirth Bridge had also become more majestic and had more profound dao runes.
This Spirit Essence Spring was like the heart of the underground abyss. No matter how much Ning Cheng absorbed, the same amount of Spirit Essence kept pouring in.
There were fewer and fewer demonic creatures around the Spirit Essence Spring where Ning Cheng cultivated. However, the number of demonic creatures in the underground abyss kept increasing.
Ning Cheng had broken the pure suppression of the 81 blood pillars, and the black vortex surrounding the blood pillars grew thicker. Countless demonic creatures emerged from the blood pillars, and the entire underground abyss gradually showed signs of exploding due to the demonic creatures.
The rows of seals on the periphery of the underground abyss also began to shake under the impact of the endless demonic creatures.
