"Senior Apprentice Brother, why don't you separate out a trace of your Spiritual Sense, and I can integrate it into my Water Cloud Flower. That way, you can fully use my flames." Hearing Heavenly Emperor Levelled Heart announce the start of the match, Cen Yan quickly spoke up.
At this time, Jinming Qianbo and Le Wu's disciples had already arrived at the edge of the Eternal Heaven Artefact-crafting Pool. However, Ning Cheng stopped Cen Yan from bringing out the flame, "Junior Apprentice Sister Yan, there's no need."
He then once again cupped his fists towards Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor and spoke, "Heavenly Emperor, my Junior Apprentice Sister uses a water-attributed flame. Moreover, her Artefact-crafting aptitude is also quite ordinary. Therefore, even if she participates in the competition, she will lose without a doubt. I've only been a disciple of Baichi Artefact-crafting Store for a short period of time, and my master hasn't even started teaching me yet. We admit defeat in this match. We just want a place to live. As long as no one drives me and Junior Apprentice Sister out of the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City, we would be lucky.
Junior Apprentice Sister and I want to go back and move our things away. I hope that Heavenly Emperor Levelled Heart can send someone to supervise us. I know that with our cultivation, the Great Emperor will not be worried about us. However, I didn't know about the Baichi Equipment Forging Store before, but now that I know about it, I have to avoid arousing suspicion. "
Some of the more astute cultivators immediately understood the meaning of Ning Cheng's words, while secretly praising this cultivator's means in their hearts. Now that this matter was clear, and he knew that he would lose the match, he decided to remind Chuan Xinlou not to forget about the matter regarding the store. At the same time, it also reminded Chuan Xinlou not to let Jinming Qianbo find trouble with them. He was still playing the sympathy card. His words sounded pitiful, but there were really people who sympathized with him.
How could Chuan Xinlou not understand Ning Cheng's meaning? He waved his hand and spoke, "You don't have to worry about it. Since I said it, you can rest assured. No matter who won or lost, they could just compete. After the competition, someone will take you to the new shop. "
As for Ning Cheng's words about avoiding arousing suspicion, he only felt that it was funny. He was not the only one who found it funny, even the other cultivators found it funny. How could a Celestial Scryer Cultivator avoid a Good Fortune Fragment? Even if you touch the Good Fortune Fragment, others will be able to see your aura. Not to mention the fact that you took the Good Fortune Shard. In fact, even if Ning Cheng said that he took away the Good Fortune Fragment, no one would believe it.
Ning Cheng initially did not want to compete, but at this time, he had no choice but to borrow Junior Apprentice Sister Yan's Water Cloud Flower and walk into the Artefact-crafting Pool.
He had already guessed a few things. Maybe Zhongli Baichi's Artefact-crafting Store really did contain a fragment of Good Fortune; however, it was absolutely impossible for it to exist now. Zhongli Baichi either took away the Good Fortune Fragment or found a way to hide it. As for Jinming Qianbo's belief that the things were in the store, it might have been a misdirection set up by Zhongli Baichi.
"Disciple Sikou Bing greets the various seniors. Seniors, please give me some pointers." The first to walk into the Artefact-crafting Pool was Jinming Qianbo's disciple, the red-faced cultivator with thick lips.
"Le Wu's disciple, Xi Yuzi, disgraces himself." The second to step up was Le Wu's disciple, a guy who looked extremely majestic.
Ning Cheng, who was walking at the back, also cupped his fists and spoke, "My name is Cheng Nianqiong, and I represent the Baichi Artefact-crafting Store."
In the eyes of the others, Ning Cheng was just a bystander. Initially, he did not want to go on stage. However, Chuan Xinlou did not want people to gossip about him, so he forced him to go up. Moreover, no one expected him to win. Therefore, all eyes were on Sikou Bing and Xi Yuzi.
Chuan Xinlou casually took out 15 kinds of artefact-crafting materials and threw them into the Artefact-crafting Pool before speaking, "To show fairness, I will provide the artefact-crafting materials. Each of you can choose one to five of these artefact-crafting materials. Whatever weapon you want to refine, you can decide for yourselves. As for the flame, whether you want to use your own or the Artefact-crafting Pool's flame, you can decide for yourselves. "
No one raised any objections. This competition was secondary, and the most important thing was the outcome of the competition. Who could obtain Zhongli Baichi's Artefact-crafting Store first.
Sikou Bing was the first to choose the materials, followed by Xi Yuzi. The quality of the materials would directly affect the quality of the weapon refined.
After Sikou Bing and Xi Yuzi finished choosing the materials, Ning Cheng took out the last five materials. These materials were all Starry Sky Grade 5 and Grade 6 materials, which showed that Chuan Xinlou's mind was not on the competition. He just wanted to end this matter quickly and then go to Baichi Artefact-crafting Store to take a look.
As the three people finished collecting the materials, the shielding restrictions at the edge of the Eternal Heaven Artefact-crafting Pool activated. At this moment, whether it was the cultivators outside or the cultivators inside the Artefact-crafting Pool, none of them could use their Spiritual Consciousness to penetrate the restrictions.
Sikou Bing brought out a slightly black flame with a touch of gold on the edge. Ning Cheng did not use his Spiritual Consciousness to explore this flame. He could feel that this flame was stronger than the Water Cloud Flower in his hand.
From Sikou Bing's actions, Ning Cheng could tell that Sikou Bing wanted to refine a high-grade Dao Artefact. With the materials that Chuan Xinlou brought out, Sikou Bing wanted to refine a high-grade Dao Artefact. From this, it showed that this person's Artefact-crafting level was higher than his own.
Xi Yuzi brought out a lavender flame, which looked a bit weaker than Sikou Bing's flame. However, judging from his technique, he most likely wanted to refine a middle-grade Dao Artefact.
Ning Cheng felt a little puzzled. Le Wu came here with such strong confidence. Did he think that his disciple could refine a middle-grade Dao Artefact to win?
Ning Cheng retracted his gaze and started to dissolve his materials. With his attainments in Artefact-crafting, he could refine a top-grade middle-grade Dao Artefact with these materials. However, he did not do so. After knowing the secret of Baichi Artefact-crafting Store, he wanted to lose.
The three people brought out their flames and started crafting artefacts. The powerhouses at the edge of the Artefact-crafting Pool could see that Sikou Bing wanted to refine a high-grade Dao Artefact, Xi Yuzi wanted to refine a middle-grade Dao Artefact, and Cheng Nianqiong from Baichi Artefact-crafting Store wanted to refine a low-grade Dao Artefact. If all three of them succeeded, the final winner would definitely be Sikou Bing.
The first thing Ning Cheng wanted to melt was the only starry sky Grade 6 material he obtained. He had to use this starry sky Grade 6 material. If he didn't use it, others would definitely think that he did it on purpose. The moment the flame started to melt the material, Ning Cheng immediately felt something wrong.
Thinking that this material came from Chuan Xinlou, Ning Cheng immediately sealed off most of his Sea of Consciousness. He could feel a trace of imprint on this material. Ning Cheng did not try to pry into this imprint. He felt sure that Chuan Xinlou had left this imprint behind.
Chuan Xinlou left this imprint with the sole purpose of spying on the three people's artefact-crafting process. Most likely, he wanted to play some tricks in the dark.
The reason why Ning Cheng sealed off most of his starry sky Sea of Consciousness was that he did not want others to know that his Sea of Consciousness was a starry sky Sea of Consciousness.
Chuan Xinlou might be strong, but with just a trace of Spiritual Sense Imprint, no one would be able to find out about his secret without any fanfare. Most likely, when Chuan Xinlou left behind this trace of Spiritual Sense Imprint, he did not expect that a Celestial Scryer Cultivator would notice his imprint.
Ning Cheng did not want to win, but now he felt even more reluctant to contribute. Because he had sealed off most of his Sea of Consciousness, he did not have to pretend to melt the material.
When Sikou Bing and Xi Yuzi's materials finished melting, Ning Cheng still continued to melt the materials. These two people apparently did not put Ning Cheng in their eyes. They continued to carve array formations and condense the artefact shape.
Sikou Bing was crafting a high-grade Dao Artefact, the Li Xing Blade. At this time, even the shape of the blade had appeared. If nothing unexpected happened, his high-grade Dao Artefact should not have any problems.
Xi Yuzi was crafting a Glazed Pagoda, a defensive artefact. Although this artefact was a middle-grade Dao Artefact, it was much more difficult to craft compared to the Li Xing Blade. At this time, the prototype of the pagoda had also appeared and was in the process of carving array formations.
At this moment, Ning Cheng felt a slight fluctuation in the space around him, and the blade in Sikou Bing's hand started to tremble. Ning Cheng, who was also in the Artefact-crafting Pool, understood that Xi Yuzi had secretly made a move against Sikou Bing. No wonder Le Wu felt so confident that Xi Yuzi could use his Spiritual Consciousness to attack Sikou Bing.
Sikou Bing gave a cold snort and glared at Xi Yuzi. At the same time, his domain fully stretched out, causing the pagoda in Xi Yuzi's hand to tremble.
Ning Cheng thought that these two fellows must have secretly made a move against each other. Maybe in the end, neither of them would succeed in crafting. Thinking that both of them might fail in crafting artefacts, wouldn't Ning Cheng be the one to succeed?
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng felt shocked.
"Katcha ….." With a sound, the blade in Sikou Bing's hand completely collapsed, and the artefact-crafting materials turned into a pile of waste.
Xi Yuzi did not fare much better. Just as the materials in Sikou Bing's hand turned into a pile of waste, the pagoda in his hand also completely collapsed.
With all the materials collapsing, what kind of weapon could they refine? Sikou Bing and Xi Yuzi glared at each other. Both felt angry at each other for interfering, causing the weapons in their hands to be destroyed.
The cultivators outside the Artefact-crafting Pool immediately went into an uproar. None of them expected that Sikou Bing and Xi Yuzi would end up in a stalemate. Everyone knew that the two of them had interfered with each other during the artefact-crafting process.
Ning Cheng secretly found it funny, but then he felt that something was wrong. It was too much of a coincidence for both sides to end up in a stalemate. Since his materials contained Chuan Xinlou's Spiritual Consciousness Imprint, then Sikou Bing and Xi Yuzi's materials obviously also contained it. Although he could detect Chuan Xinlou's Spiritual Consciousness Imprint in his starry sky Sea of Consciousness, Sikou Bing and Xi Yuzi might not be able to detect it.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng felt a chill down his spine. This artefact-crafting process was completely under Chuan Xinlou's control. In other words, Chuan Xinlou had calculated that Sikou Bing and Xi Yuzi would interact with each other during the artefact-crafting process. He then used this opportunity to cause the Dao Artefacts crafted by Sikou Bing and Xi Yuzi to collapse. This action was done unconsciously, and no one could see it.
Everyone thought that Sikou Bing and Xi Yuzi had interfered with each other and failed. Even the two parties involved might have thought the same. Only Ning Cheng knew that it was definitely Chuan Xinlou's Spiritual Consciousness Imprint that interfered with each other.
If Chuan Xinlou had interfered, then Chuan Xinlou would have asked Sikou Bing and Xi Yuzi to leave the Artefact-crafting Pool. That way, they wouldn't affect him, the contestant who was about to win.
Sure enough, Ning Cheng had just thought of this when someone brought Sikou Bing and Xi Yuzi out of the Artefact-crafting Pool. The shielding restrictions around the Artefact-crafting Pool then closed again.
Ning Cheng gave out a dark sigh. No wonder he could become the premier person of Grand Culmination Starry Skies. This Heavenly Emperor Levelled Heart truly was insidious. This person had already calculated that he would win. If he won, he would definitely hand over the Artefact-crafting Store to Heavenly Emperor Levelled Heart. Otherwise, would he not want his life?
