"What else do I have to wait for? I already paid 10,000 Permanent Essence Pills to enter the Traceless Gate. Do I still have to pay Permanent Essence Pills to come out? "Ning Cheng's face sank.
The middle-aged female cultivator quickly replied, "Of course not. Why would my Traceless Immortal Pond ask for Permanent Essence Pills from our guests? Presumably, this friend also knows about it. My Traceless Immortal Pond also has a task. All those who enter the Traceless Gate and bring out our Traceless Gate's disciples will receive some Permanent Essence Pills as a reward. Since you brought out our Traceless Immortal Pond's Sacred Lady, you have already completed this task. Naturally, we can't let you leave Traceless Immortal Pond empty-handed. "
Ning Cheng showed a slight smile. He didn't believe that Traceless Immortal Pond would be so kind. He asked with an indifferent tone, "I wonder how many rewards I can get for bringing back Traceless Immortal Pond's Sacred Lady? If it's too little, I'm not interested in taking it. "
Others might not know about Ning Cheng's wealth, but this middle-aged female cultivator naturally knew about it. Ning Cheng didn't even bat an eye when he took out 500,000 Permanent Essence Pills to buy the jade strip.
The middle-aged female cultivator wanted to speak, but Ning Cheng suddenly interrupted her, "Traceless Immortal Pond lost in the Traceless Gate. Isn't Sacred Lady Man the most respected person I brought out?"
The middle-aged female cultivator paused slightly before understanding Ning Cheng's meaning. She nodded and said, "You're right. In the Traceless Gate, Sacred Lady Man is the most respected person in my Traceless Immortal Pond."
Ning Cheng suddenly spoke up, "When I went in, dao friend said that the lowest reward for bringing out Traceless Immortal Pond's disciples is 100,000 Permanent Essence Pills, and the highest reward is 100 million Permanent Essence Pills. Since I brought out Sacred Lady Man, does that mean I can get a reward of 100 million Permanent Essence Pills this time? "
The middle-aged female cultivator showed a faint smile, "Dao friend is right. You can indeed get a reward of 100 million Permanent Essence Pills."
The other three Eternal cultivators who came to greet Zhai Chuman had calm expressions. They didn't think that the middle-aged female cultivator's words were too outrageous. Zhai Chuman looked at the middle-aged female cultivator in surprise. 100 million Permanent Essence Pills, it was simply too terrifying.
Even Xiong Wuzhi and Bian Zhuo looked at Ning Cheng in shock. A hundred million Permanent Essence Pills, how much was that?
When Ning Cheng saw Zhai Chuman's expression, he understood that Zhai Chuman didn't know about Traceless Immortal Pond's black shop. It immediately improved Ning Cheng's impression of Zhai Chuman.
"Then lead the way. I'll go and collect the Permanent Essence Pills. Although I'm rich, it doesn't mean that I wouldn't be tempted by a hundred million Permanent Essence Pills. "Ning Cheng stopped and decided to reveal his wealth. Since they were going to fight, there was no need to be polite.
Ning Cheng felt sure that this middle-aged female cultivator wouldn't take the initiative to give him a hundred million Permanent Essence Pills. This clearly indicated that she wanted to take action against him. If someone offended him, then Ning Cheng would never be a nice gentleman who would try to keep the peace. If Traceless Immortal Pond really kept its promise and took out so many Permanent Essence Pills, he would act as if nothing had happened. Since Traceless Immortal Pond dared to make a move against him, destroying Traceless Immortal Pond would also create some benefits for the starry skies' cultivators and himself.
Following the middle-aged female cultivator leading the way, they once again walked past the chain, and nothing unexpected happened along the way. Ning Cheng guessed that since Traceless Immortal Pond's Sacred Lady didn't know about it, Traceless Immortal Pond's shady business had to be hidden from the Sacred Lady.
"Sacred Lady Man, Sect Master hasn't come out of seclusion yet. You can go to the Sacred Lady Hall first. We'll arrange for Dao Friend Xiong and Dao Friend Bian." After walking through the chain, the middle-aged female cultivator immediately gave a respectful bow to Zhai Chuman.
A late-stage Eternal cultivator echoed, "Junior Apprentice Sister Qian Song is right. Sacred Lady Man's return is a major event for our Traceless Immortal Pond. Our sect will hold a return ceremony to celebrate Sacred Lady Man's advancement to the Eternal Realm. Secondly, to celebrate Sacred Lady Man's return to the sect. "
When Ning Cheng heard this, he realised that Zhai Chuman wasn't an Eternal cultivator when she entered the Traceless Gate. But now, Zhai Chuman was at the middle-stage Eternal Realm. Ning Cheng didn't know how long she had stayed in the Traceless Gate. He guessed that she had obtained a lot of treasures. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy to cultivate to the Eternal Realm in the Traceless Gate.
Zhai Chuman also felt that something was wrong. But because Ning Cheng wasn't mentioned, she looked at Ning Cheng in doubt. Just as she was about to speak, the middle-aged female cultivator spoke up, "This dao friend brought Sacred Lady Man out of the Traceless Gate. We have to thank him. I'll take care of these things. Sacred Lady Man, you don't have to worry about it."
Zhai Chuman felt that something was wrong. Regardless of whether saving her was a trivial matter or not, a reward of a hundred million Permanent Essence Pills wasn't a trivial matter. This kind of thing, only an elder casually handled it? Didn't he need to face the entire sect's disciples in the sect's meeting?
"Elder Qian Song, I think I should thank him myself for this matter." After Zhai Chuman spoke to the middle-aged female cultivator, she deliberately walked up to Ning Cheng and asked, "Dao friend brought the three of us out of the Traceless Gate. I don't know how to address this dao friend."
If Ning Cheng had come and left without a reward of a hundred million Permanent Essence Pills, Zhai Chuman might not have asked for Ning Cheng's name. After all, Ning Cheng and she had a deal. After everyone came out, they didn't owe each other anything.
But now that there was a reward of a hundred million Permanent Essence Pills, it made Zhai Chuman feel a little puzzled. No matter how big the reward was, it shouldn't be this many Permanent Essence Pills. What made her even more puzzled was that this reward of so many Permanent Essence Pills could be casually handled by an elder. It felt a little too outrageous.
Ning Cheng showed a slight smile, "My name is Ning Cheng."
The middle-aged female cultivator's face showed some embarrassment. Give Ning Cheng a hundred million Permanent Essence Pills? How could that be possible? Moreover, from now on, Ning Cheng couldn't leave their sight.
The late-stage Eternal cultivator, who had previously said that he wanted to hold a celebration, quickly spoke up, "Sacred Lady Man, Junior Apprentice Sister Qian Song can handle these things. You should take a break first. Sect Master might come out of seclusion in a while. We have to focus on important matters. "
Zhai Chuman nodded, "Okay, Elder Jue Yang."
After that, she turned to Ning Cheng and said, "Dao Friend Ning, you go first. I'll come and say goodbye to you later."
When Ning Cheng heard Zhai Chuman's words, he immediately understood that Zhai Chuman had some doubts. She said that she would come and see him off later, which meant that she meant it.
Seeing that Sacred Lady Man finally agreed to leave, the middle-aged female cultivator breathed a sigh of relief and took Ning Cheng away with the other middle-stage Eternal cultivator.
"Brother Ning, wait …." This time, it was Xiong Wuzhi who stopped Ning Cheng.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Xiong Wuzhi smiled and said to Zhai Chuman, "Junior Apprentice Sister Chuman, it's all thanks to Brother Ning Cheng that we could come out this time. I think Brother Ning Cheng is a good person and want to talk to him more. In addition, I won't be attending Junior Apprentice Sister Chuman's celebration. When Brother Ning Cheng leaves, I will also leave with Brother Ning Cheng. "
Bian Zhuo sneered and said, "Brother Xiong, I don't think you want to go with Ning Cheng because he wants the reward of a hundred million Permanent Essence Pills, right?"
Xiong Wuzhi showed a smile, "If you say so, then so be it."
Ning Cheng knew that Xiong Wuzhi didn't come with him for the reward of a hundred million Permanent Essence Pills. Xiong Wuzhi most likely wanted to go with him because he felt that pursuing Zhai Chuman wouldn't yield any results.
Zhai Chuman naturally understood Xiong Wuzhi's temperament and said with a smile, "Alright, then Senior Apprentice Brother Wuzhi will go with Dao Friend Ning first. After I greet Master and Sect Master, I will come and say goodbye to you."
Xiong Wuzhi wasn't from Traceless Immortal Pond. Moreover, Zhai Chuman had also made it clear that Traceless Immortal Pond's people couldn't stop Xiong Wuzhi from going with Ning Cheng. Otherwise, it would be too obvious.
Ning Cheng and Xiong Wuzhi followed the two Eternal cultivators to a luxurious-looking reception hall. As a top-notch Starry Sky Array Emperor, Ning Cheng could tell that it was a combination of many top-grade entrapment and killing formations the moment he entered the reception hall.
After the two Eternal-level cultivators brought Ning Cheng, they immediately left.
Xiong Wuzhi casually swept out with his spiritual consciousness before speaking to Ning Cheng with a smile, "Brother Ning, your cultivation isn't that high. Yet, you dared to break into the Traceless Gate. It really surprised me."
It was normal for the reception hall to have many array formations. After all, Traceless Immortal Pond was also a major sect. It would have been strange if it didn't have any array formations.
Ning Cheng smiled, "Dao Friend Wuzhi, your cultivation isn't much higher than mine. If you can break through, why can't I?"
Xiong Wuzhi didn't get angry. Instead, he nodded, "That's true. When I entered the Traceless Gate, I was only at the middle-stage Life and Death Realm, which isn't much higher than you. But Brother Ning Cheng, I treat you as a friend, yet you call me 'Dao Friend'. It's a bit like an outsider. "
He thought that Ning Cheng was referring to his cultivation when he first entered the Traceless Gate. At that time, he was indeed in the Life and Death Realm. A cultivator in the Life and Death Realm who entered the Traceless Gate couldn't be considered a powerhouse.
"Let's not talk about being an outsider. Dao Friend Wuzhi and I haven't known each other for a long time, and we don't seem to be friends. I don't think Dao Friend Wuzhi should be sitting here with me right now. Instead, you should be trying to please Sacred Lady Man. "Ning Cheng spoke up casually.
Xiong Wuzhi sighed and said, "I already knew that it wouldn't work out. Only Bian Zhuo would stay here with such infatuation. Let's not talk about this. Brother Ning Cheng, when you dug out a quarter of the starry sky spiritual grasses, I knew that you were a worthy friend. If it were me, I would have dug out at least half of them.
Don't look at Bian Zhuo's reprimanding you at that time. If it were him, I'm sure he would have dug out those starry sky spiritual grasses. I guess only Junior Apprentice Sister Man would have calmed down and not touched those starry sky spiritual grasses. "
Ning Cheng agreed with Xiong Wuzhi's words, "You're right. If you and Sacred Lady Man hadn't come out, I would have already taught him a lesson."
Xiong Wuzhi naturally thought that Ning Cheng was bragging. He smiled again, "The next time you want to teach Bian Zhuo a lesson, I will help you. In fact, Bian Zhuo is a good person. He has a heavy murderous heart and is also very arrogant. However, he isn't a despicable person. This is also the reason why I can barely be his neighbour. Of course, he also generously gave me a lot of starry sky spiritual grasses for alchemy. That's another reason. "
As the two chatted, the middle-aged female cultivator named Qian Song walked in again and said to Xiong Wuzhi, "Dao Friend Xiong, Sacred Lady Man invites you over."
When Xiong Wuzhi heard Zhai Chuman calling him over, he immediately stood up and said to Ning Cheng, "Brother Ning, I'll go see Sacred Lady Man first. I'll talk to you when I come back."
Ning Cheng stood up and sent Xiong Wuzhi out. He estimated that Xiong Wuzhi wouldn't be in much danger. He had stayed in the Traceless Gate to cultivate for a long time. Even if he had some cultivation resources, he would have already used them up. Plus, he was Zhai Chuman's friend. Therefore, Traceless Immortal Pond would have to give him some face.
Xiong Wuzhi had just left when a middle-stage Eternal cultivator walked in. When he came in, he activated the restrictions around the guest hall.
