With such an expensive jade strip, it would have been strange if no one did such a thing.
If this was the case, then they would have no good end in the future.
Ning Cheng even suspected that the places on the jade strip were all traps set up by Traceless Immortal Pond. As long as they went there, they would most likely fall into the hands of Traceless Immortal Pond.
The group followed the middle-aged female cultivator vigilantly for nearly an incense stick worth of time before arriving at a stone platform less than ten feet in diameter. In front of this platform was a circular door that looked like a soap bubble and looked somewhat shiny. Above this soap bubble door were three words, 'Traceless Gate'.
Ning Cheng noticed that apart from the late-stage Eternal cultivator, the young female cultivator among the other five also seemed to want to buy it. However, she quickly suppressed the idea. Presumably, she was afraid of exposing her wealth. From this, Ning Cheng could tell that this young female cultivator was a cautious cultivator.
There was only one reason why these jade strips hadn't leaked out. That is, none of the cultivators who bought these jade strips could walk out of the Traceless Gate. Otherwise, even if someone who bought these jade strips could walk out of the Traceless Gate, it would still leak out. Even if they couldn't copy it, they could still re-create it according to their memories.
This late-stage Eternal cultivator wasn't wrong. Ning Cheng had seen the three jade strips and confirmed that they were indeed locked by restrictions. But these restrictions didn't mean anything to him. If he wanted to copy them, he could easily copy them. Ning Cheng didn't intend to copy them. Firstly, these were Traceless Immortal Pond's business methods. Copying them would be equivalent to destroying the market, which would be considered piracy. Secondly, Ning Cheng didn't feel like copying them for these Permanent Essence Pills.
The middle-aged female cultivator put away the Permanent Essence Pills and spoke up with satisfaction, "Please follow me into the Traceless Gate."
However, after the group stepped onto the chain, they understood why there was a chain here. Stepping on this chain, one could only feel a strong downward force, while one's spiritual consciousness felt completely suppressed.
Seeing this late-stage Eternal cultivator enter, the others also followed suit. They all had the same idea. Soon, only Ning Cheng remained.
The late-stage Eternal cultivator's expression changed slightly. Apparently, he also figured out what was going on. Without saying anything, he turned around and rushed into the Traceless Gate that looked like a soap bubble. From the looks of it, he knew that only by becoming stronger could he have a chance of survival.
After saying that, the middle-aged female cultivator took out a few jade strips and held one of them up. "This is a map of the Traceless Gate. Countless disciples of my Traceless Immortal Pond exchanged their lives for it. It shows many small spaces within the Traceless Gate. Everyone knew that once one entered the Traceless Gate, there would be no spatial orientation or direction. However, as long as it's a space marked on the jade slip in my hand, there will be directions so that you won't lose your way. This locational jade strip sells for 100,000 Permanent Essence Pills. "
…
Only then did Ning Cheng understand that compared to the previous 10,100 Permanent Essence Pills, this was the real way to make money.
The middle-aged female cultivator stopped and said, "This is the Traceless Gate. I wish you good luck."
Not waiting for Ning Cheng to answer, the late-stage Eternal cultivator, who bought three jade strips like Ning Cheng, spoke up, "He can't copy it to you. This jade strip is locked by restrictions. As long as you try to copy it, it would shatter. Moreover, even if it doesn't shatter, the restrictions on this jade slip will restrict the duplication. Unless you are a top Array Emperor, you won't be able to duplicate it. "
Hearing the late-stage Eternal cultivator's explanation, the rest of the people showed disappointed expressions. Ning Cheng asked in doubt, "You should have heard about the Traceless Gate before coming here, right? Haven't you heard about the Traceless Immortal Pond selling jade strips? Or does the Traceless Immortal Pond not allow people to re-engrave jade strips for sale? "
It stood to reason that the cultivators who bought the jade strips would have a higher chance of survival. So why couldn't anyone come out?
Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness swept through the surrounding monitoring arrays and sneered before entering the Traceless Gate. No wonder the Traceless Immortal Pond was so rich. It turned out to be a black shop. Anyone who could take out Permanent Essence Pills to buy jade strips was obviously a wealthy cultivator. These wealthy cultivators would register at the Traceless Immortal Pond. But once they came out, they would only end up dead. The wealth of these cultivators would then transform into the wealth of the Traceless Gate.
Not waiting for Ning Cheng to sigh at the high price, the middle-aged female cultivator raised another jade strip and said, "This is the Traceless Gate's escape jade strip. Of course, this jade strip can't help you escape 100% of the time. As long as you find a small space marked on this jade strip, you can follow the instructions of the jade strip to get out of the Traceless Gate. Each jade strip also costs 200,000 Permanent Essence Pills.
Ning Cheng truly felt puzzled. Nearly a hundred thousand cultivators had come out of the Traceless Gate. Why didn't any of these hundred thousand people inscribe jade strips for sale?
"Give me one of each." The late-stage Eternal cultivator spoke up. He had paid 500,000 Permanent Essence Pills with just a raise of his hand, which showed that he was a wealthy person.
The others also felt the unrestricted suppression of their spiritual consciousness, and their expressions changed drastically. Although for cultivators above the Heaven Seated Realm, even if they couldn't use their spiritual consciousness, they wouldn't fall to their deaths. But this situation was clearly beyond everyone's expectations.
Moreover, the Traceless Gate had plenty of Starry Sky Spirit Qi and even some high-grade treasures. Heavenly Emperor Ji Rui's Five-coloured Myriad Connecting Banner doesn't need to be mentioned. Even the Starry Sky Radish Grass has appeared in the Traceless Gate. I also have a similar jade strip with me, which can let you know the distribution of these small spaces in the Traceless Gate. Each one costs 200,000 Permanent Essence Pills ….. "
The Heaven Seated cultivator frowned after he finished speaking. Apparently, he felt that something wasn't right. He didn't care about such things normally, so he naturally didn't find it strange. But now that he specifically mentioned it, he felt a little strange. The others also felt a little strange, and Ning Cheng felt that something was wrong.
Although the jade strips couldn't be copied, they could always re-engrave it. As long as they could remember the contents inside, it wouldn't be a problem to re-engrave it in the future.
Seeing Ning Cheng purchase the jade strips, several people in the guest room looked at Ning Cheng with some doubts. In their opinion, Ning Cheng should be the poorest cultivator here. For a mere 100 Permanent Essence Pills, he even mentioned it. It would be strange if such a cultivator was rich. But this cultivator, whom they thought to be the poorest, didn't hesitate to take out 500,000 Permanent Essence Pills and buy three jade strips.
"I've heard about Traceless Immortal Pond selling jade strips at sky-high prices, but such jade strips don't sell outside. As for Traceless Immortal Pond not allowing people to re-engrave such jade strips, it doesn't seem to exist, right? Anyway, I've never heard of such a thing. Besides, they didn't say anything about re-engraving. I guess they know that no one can re-engrave such jade strips, or that such jade strips have never leaked out. "The Heaven Seated cultivator said with a frown.
Regardless of whether Traceless Immortal Pond did such a thing or not, he didn't mind razing Traceless Immortal Pond to the ground if they had any ideas about him in the future.
After saying that, the middle-aged female cultivator turned around and walked away, disappearing at the end of the chain in an instant. Because she was on the ground, her spiritual consciousness and celestial essence had fully recovered. As such, the few people immediately relaxed their vigilance.
The middle-aged female cultivator didn't bring out a flight-type weapon. Instead, she led the six people onto a long suspended chain. This chain was only as thick as a thumb, and it hovered in the air, surrounded by layers of white clouds.
The only reason was that the cultivators who bought the jade strips were being targeted. Even if they could come out alive, they would most likely die. Even some of the cultivators who didn't buy the jade strips and managed to get out of the Traceless Gate alive would end up dead just because they suspected it.
Ning Cheng looked like someone with average cultivation. But no one in this room dared to underestimate Ning Cheng. How could a cultivator who cultivated a messy cultivation method take out so many Permanent Essence Pills? Even with these Permanent Essence Pills, one could buy a good cultivation method. Most likely, this cultivator had concealed his cultivation.
Ning Cheng had a Starry Sky Sea of Consciousness, which made him extremely powerful. However, he didn't care about this kind of spiritual consciousness suppression. As long as he wanted to, his spiritual consciousness could break through the surrounding suppressive space at any time, bring out a flight-type weapon, or use his spiritual consciousness and celestial essence to step out of the void. Even if his spiritual consciousness couldn't break through, or even stretch out, he could forcibly wield the Twin Wings of the Heavenly Clouds to escape.
Because of Ning Cheng's wealth, the few of them paid even more attention to Ning Cheng. But soon, they discovered that Ning Cheng's cultivation didn't seem to be high. That's because the celestial wheels behind Ning Cheng looked messy and disorderly. It looked even worse than the Heaven Seated cultivator in the room. Only those who cultivated low-level cultivation methods could form such irregular celestial wheels.
Everyone here was a top-level cultivator. Not to mention this floating chain, even if there wasn't a chain, no one would care about walking through the void.
Ning Cheng and the others stood up. But unlike before, Ning Cheng's generosity had caused the other five people's spiritual consciousness to linger on him for a long time.
"Friend, I'm willing to pay you 100,000 Permanent Essence Pills, as long as you give me a copy of those three jade strips." The middle-aged female cultivator had just left when another Eternal cultivator spoke up to Ning Cheng with cupped fists.
500,000 Permanent Essence Pills was a fortune for Eternal cultivators, but it didn't mean much to Ning Cheng. He didn't hesitate to take out 500,000 Permanent Essence Pills and purchase the three jade strips.
