"Aunt Xu, are you sure you didn't mistake him for someone else?" Striking Order Heavenly Emperor suddenly stood up and looked at a middle-aged woman in front of him in amazement.
This middle-aged woman was the female cultivator Ning Cheng had met before entering the city. However, at this time, she had already reported everything about Ning Cheng to Striking Order Heavenly Emperor.
Aunt Xu spoke up with even more certainty, "Heavenly Emperor, that cultivator admitted it himself. I secretly inquired about him and found out that his name is Ning Cheng. After he entered the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City, he went to an empty shop and named it Cheng Ruolan Artefact-crafting Store. It turned out to be owned by a cultivator named Jian Jiao. "
"Let me have a look at his image." Striking Order Heavenly Emperor frowned. If there really was such a powerhouse, what did he mean by hiding on the ship heading to Culmination Starland?
Aunt Xu raised her hand and projected Ning Cheng's image into the void.
"It's him?" Striking Order Heavenly Emperor looked at Ning Cheng's image in confusion and shock.
"Does Heavenly Emperor know this person?" Aunt Xu asked carefully.
Striking Order Heavenly Emperor pondered for a long time before speaking, "I've seen him once. He should be representing a celestial river in the Celestial Scryer Genius Tryouts. At the Dao Discussion Convention in Striking Order Starland's Lucky Heaven City, he seemed to be a Celestial Novice Cultivator without a Celestial Wheel. How many years has it been since then? Even if his cultivation grew fast, he could never become an Eternal-level powerhouse. "
Although Ning Cheng was sitting in a corner, Striking Order Heavenly Emperor could easily form an impression with just a casual sweep of his Spiritual Consciousness. The image drawn by Aunt Xu looked a bit more vicissitudes and a beard compared to before. However, Striking Order Heavenly Emperor could not be sure about it. But now that he saw the image, he managed to recall some of his vague memories.
"Wait … He seems to have participated in an Artefact-crafting Competition … That's not right. Since he came from Striking Order Starland, how could he be Zhongli Baichi's disciple?" Striking Order Heavenly Emperor did not care about a minor character like Ning Cheng. However, once he did, some of his memories would start to surface. Even if Ning Cheng had changed his appearance, as long as there was even a hint of the same aura, he would immediately link it to him.
"Did he hide his cultivation at that time?" Aunt Xu asked with uncertainty.
Striking Order Heavenly Emperor shook his head, "That shouldn't be the case. If he really was an expert, there would be no need for him to attend the Dao Discussion Conference. The only possibility was that he had truly advanced from the Celestial Novice Realm to the Eternal Realm in just a few years. Of course, there is also the possibility that his Celestial Novice Cultivation Method was fake. For me to not be able to see through such a concealment cultivation method, it truly is not simple. "
Aunt Xu took in a deep breath and asked in confusion, "Heavenly Emperor, even if he had a Celestial Gatherer Cultivation at that time, he couldn't have advanced to the Eternal Realm in such a short time. Besides, even if he really advanced to the Eternal Realm, this speed would definitely cause his foundation to be unstable. How could he survive? "
"If that's really the case, then this person must have some sort of treasure on him." Striking Order Heavenly Emperor then exhorted, "Aunt Xu, don't speak about this matter. It would not do us any good. If we end up venting our anger on this person, we would have one more enemy. I'll take some time to visit him and find out more about him. "
…
After Ning Cheng changed the name of the shop to Cheng Ruolan Crafting, he did not really do any business. Apart from letting Chasing Bull look after the store, Ning Cheng had been using the Scarlet Crow Flame to refine pills. Ning Cheng's Alchemy level was already on the verge of a breakthrough, and he could now easily refine Grade 7 Starry Sky Medicinal Pills. However, Ning Cheng did not intend to come out of seclusion. He intended to refine Grade 8 Starry Sky Medicinal Pills before coming out.
He now had a lot of spare time and a lot of spiritual grasses on him. Therefore, he naturally wanted to make good use of them.
When Striking Order Heavenly Emperor came to visit, Ning Cheng had already been in seclusion for more than half a month.
"Who are you looking for?" Chasing Bull looked at Striking Order Heavenly Emperor from top to bottom before raising its head and asking without any hurry.
Recently, it had been living in a reverie. Without those little bees buzzing around, it could even enjoy the bustling scene of the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City. What could be more comfortable than this?
A Grade 6 Starry Sky Demonic Beast dared to speak to him in such a manner, causing Striking Order Heavenly Emperor to feel a little annoyed. But thinking about the Eternal-level powerhouse behind Chasing Bull, he could only suppress his anger and speak up, "Is Dao Friend Ning Cheng here? I'm an old friend of his, and I came to visit."
Chasing Bull flicked its tail, "Come back in a month. Master said that this seclusion would last at least a month and a half."
Striking Order Heavenly Emperor gave a cold snort. He was an Eternal-level Starry Sky Emperor who controlled a starry sky. Even if this place was the Eternal Heaven Starry Sky City, he couldn't stand such an attitude.
However, when his Spiritual Consciousness swept through the Array Formation upstairs, his anger disappeared in an instant. The array formations here were all Grade 7 Starry Sky Arrays, which not only included defensive arrays but also killing arrays.
Striking Order Heavenly Emperor was an Eternal-level powerhouse, but even he couldn't arrange a Starry Sky Array. The level of one's Dao Confirming Realm had nothing to do with one's cultivation. The Dao of Array Formations required countless hours of verification and deduction. Regardless of whether this Ning Cheng was a Starry Sky Emperor or not, Ning Cheng's Dao Confirming Realm level had already shocked him.
"What else do you want?" Seeing Striking Order Heavenly Emperor not leaving, Chasing Bull spoke up with some dissatisfaction. This fellow had never seen the world before, and its first master was also a fellow with low cultivation. But now that Ning Cheng's cultivation had risen, Chasing Bull didn't even put Striking Order Heavenly Emperor in his eyes. It truly felt like a dog fight … No, it should be a bull fighting with its master's power.
Striking Order Heavenly Emperor suppressed his dissatisfaction and spoke up, "It's like this. A month from now, Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain will host a Spirit Fruit Banquet. I have three invitations, and because I'm an old friend of Dao Friend Ning, I specially sent one over. "
If Ning Cheng truly came from Striking Order Starland, then Striking Order Heavenly Emperor definitely wanted to win him over. The more Eternal cultivators a starry sky had, the more powerful that starry sky would become. He had indeed received three invitations and had even sent one to Tang Yitang. This time, he came to see Ning Cheng to see how strong Ning Cheng was. If Ning Cheng was worth winning over, then he would send one to Ning Cheng to build a friendship.
Although he didn't see Ning Cheng, he saw the array formations arranged by Ning Cheng. Even if Ning Cheng's cultivation wasn't in the Eternal Realm, such a powerful Array Formation Grandmaster was worth winning over. In any place, there weren't many Array Emperors who could arrange Grade 7 Starry Sky Arrays.
When Chasing Bull heard about the Spirit Fruit Banquet, its tone immediately turned polite, "Master will definitely attend the Spirit Fruit Banquet. You can leave the invitation with me, and I'll leave it with Master."
Striking Order Heavenly Emperor didn't want to waste time with this stupid bull and sent out an invitation, "In that case, I'll wait for Brother Ning at Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain."
… …
Ning Cheng didn't stay for a month before coming out of seclusion. He had successfully refined Grade 8 Starry Sky Pills.
After advancing to Grade 8 Starry Sky Pill Emperor, Ning Cheng didn't go into seclusion. Firstly, his flame couldn't refine Grade 9 Starry Sky Medicinal Pills. Secondly, he didn't have many top-grade Starry Sky Spiritual Grasses.
"Master, a person named Striking Order came to see you. I said that you were in seclusion, but he left an invitation saying that the Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain is hosting a Spirit Fruit Banquet and invited you to attend." Chasing Bull happily took out the invitation. It looked forward to Ning Cheng taking it to the Spirit Fruit Banquet.
Ning Cheng didn't expect that Striking Order Heavenly Emperor would still be in Culmination Starland. Therefore, he didn't find it strange that Striking Order Heavenly Emperor came looking for him. Since Striking Order Heavenly Emperor came here, he must have gotten the news from that middle-aged woman. Ning Cheng looked at the date on the invitation and saw that there were only two days left.
Putting away the invitation, Ning Cheng didn't plan to go to Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain. He didn't have any friendship with Chuan Xinlou. Moreover, Chuan Xinlou didn't personally deliver this invitation. Therefore, it didn't matter if he went or not.
"I'm going to the Eternal Heaven Merchant Hall. You can wait for me here." Ning Cheng gave Chasing Bull a few words before leaving the Artefact-crafting Store.
Chasing Bull felt a little unhappy that Ning Cheng went out alone without it. But since its master told it to stay here, it didn't dare to bargain. In case its master felt unhappy and threw it into his storage ring, it would definitely become depressing.
… …
This time, Ning Cheng didn't change his appearance and entered the Eternal Heaven Merchant Hall with his original appearance.
As soon as he entered the Eternal Heaven Merchant Hall, Ning Cheng deliberately revealed his powerful cultivation aura. The cultivator in charge of the Eternal Heaven Merchant Hall immediately knew that a powerhouse had arrived and quickly came out to greet a Heaven Seated Cultivator.
"May I ask how my Eternal Heaven Merchant Hall can help this dao friend?" The Heaven Seated Cultivator spoke with a respectful tone towards Ning Cheng, but didn't address Ning Cheng as' senior '.
Ning Cheng gave an 'en' sound and asked with an enigmatic look, "I heard that a few years ago, the Eternal Heaven Merchant Hall auctioned off a piece of soil containing Breath Soil. Who bought this soil? "
The Heaven Seated Cultivator spoke with a more polite tone, "Everyone who comes to my Eternal Heaven Merchant Hall is a guest. My Merchant Hall does not disclose the information of our guests."
Ning Cheng guessed that this was the result, but he still felt unwilling in his heart. He stood up and deliberately used his imposing aura to suppress the cultivator.
The Heaven Seated Cultivator immediately felt suffocated by Ning Cheng's imposing aura, and his expression immediately changed. He had thought that Ning Cheng was at most in the Life and Death Realm. Although a Life and Death Realm cultivator was amazing, he couldn't do anything to the Eternal Heaven Merchant Hall.
But now, Ning Cheng's imposing aura clearly showed that he was an Eternal-level expert. If he encountered an unreasonable Eternal-level expert, even if the Eternal Heaven Merchant Hall had nothing to fear, it would still be troublesome.
The Heaven Seated Cultivator quickly stood up and spoke with a respectful tone, "Senior, my Eternal Heaven Merchant Hall has stood tall in the Grand Culmination Starry Skies for countless years, relying on its reputation. I hope that senior can forgive us."
Ning Cheng felt a little helpless in his heart. Since the other party didn't want to talk about it, he couldn't really oppress them without reason.
The Heaven Seated Cultivator on seeing Ning Cheng's unsightly expression added, "There are still two days before the Starry Sky Spirit Fruit Banquet hosted by Levelled Heart Heavenly Emperor at the Levelled Heart Emperor Mountain. If senior wants to ask about this matter, you can go to this place and ask about it."
Ning Cheng's powerful imposing aura caused the cultivator to change the way he addressed him, from 'dao friend' to 'senior'.
"Many thanks." Ning Cheng nodded. He understood that this cultivator had indirectly told him that the person who bought the soil containing Breath Soil would also attend the banquet.
The Heaven Seated Cultivator watched Ning Cheng leave and felt even more confused. This Eternal-level expert seemed to have a bad temper, so why did he leave after saying a few words?
