"The Great Emperor doesn't forge battleships for others. Please leave." A cultivator with a face like a clay sculpture stopped Ning Cheng and did not even ask what Ning Cheng was doing here.
Ning Cheng indeed hadn't spoken yet. He just stood outside old man Kong He's cave, admiring the defensive array and the four powerful words' Kong He Emperor Mountain '. From these defensive arrays, he could tell that old man Kong He was not only an artefact-crafting expert but also an expert in the Dao of Arrays. Moreover, the cultivator who stopped him addressed old man Kong He as' Heavenly Emperor 'and the words' Kong He Emperor Mountain 'showed that old man Kong He was also an Eternal-level Starry Sky Emperor.
"How did you know I'm here to craft a battleship? Actually, I'm not here to refine battleships. "Ning Cheng spoke up with a helpless tone. He couldn't just leave without even meeting old man Kong He.
The clay faced cultivator's tone was still emotionless, "Whether you're here to refine artifacts or not, you're not allowed to stay here. Please leave."
Ning Cheng was just about to speak when a woman in blue robes landed not too far away.
"Blue Min Mountain's Lan Yi seeks an audience with Senior Kong He …." As soon as the azure-robed woman landed, she took out a jade box and handed it to the clay face. At the same time, she cupped her fists and spoke.
The clay face took the jade box and opened it. He nodded and said, "Go in."
Ning Cheng looked at the azure-robed woman entering the Defensive Array, and then asked, "Why can she go in, but I can't? Just because she gave him a gift? You should have said so earlier if you wanted to collect the items. "
While speaking, Ning Cheng also took out a jade box. "Stately River Star's Ning Cheng also requests an audience with Grandmaster Kong He."
The clay face remained expressionless. "Your item's grade is too low, so I won't accept it. Please return."
Seemingly feeling that Ning Cheng's attitude was quite good, this clay figurine's words finally turned a bit more polite, and even added the word 'please'.
Ning Cheng sneered, "That woman just gave me a Refining Heart Fantasy Stone. I wouldn't even bother to pick up such a thing if it was thrown on the side of the road."
When the woman in blue robes heard Ning Cheng's words, she immediately stopped. She really wanted to know who said such big words. Did they have any shame? Refining Heart Fantasy Stone was a Starry Sky Grade 9 material and was extremely rare. If it weren't for the importance of upgrading the battleship, she would never have given up this material.
This was because she knew that if she took out the materials, it would most likely be a waste of effort, a waste of effort. However, as long as there was a chance, she did not want to miss it.
The clay face frowned slightly before opening Ning Cheng's jade box. When he saw the contents of the jade box, he nodded and spoke, "The materials are fine, please go ahead."
Being able to send out Rank 9 Artefact-crafting Materials, even if Ning Cheng did not go in, he would have taken the initiative to invite Ning Cheng in.
As for the entrance gift for meeting Kong He's Grand Master, the lowest grade was a Starry Sky Grade 9 raw material. This was a widely recognized rule, since Ning Cheng did not take out the materials, it was obvious that he did not understand the rules, as such he did not even think about it and let Ning Cheng leave. Not everyone could casually take out starry sky grade 9 materials.
As Ning Cheng walked into the Defensive Array, the cyan-robed female cultivator waiting for him suddenly gave him a smile and spoke, "Dao Friend Ning, you were actually willing to give out a Purple Light Treasure Eye a moment ago. You shouldn't know that even if you gave him the Purple Light Treasure Eyes, you still wouldn't be able to ask Grandmaster Kong He to refine a battleship for you, right? "
In her opinion, there was no need to give away Purple Light Treasure Essence. Compared to the Heart Refining Illusion Stone, the Purple Light Treasure Eyes were much more precious.
After all, the former required an Artefact-crafting powerhouse to fuse it into a weapon. But the latter was a good thing that could directly upgrade nirvana flames. But then again, even if she took out something like the Purple Light Treasure Essence to ask old man Kong He to refine a battleship, old man Kong He wouldn't even bother to look at it.
The reason why she stayed and waited for Ning Cheng was that the thing she was about to give out was also a treasure related to the advancement of flames. Moreover, it was a few grades higher than the Purple Light Treasure Essence.
Ning Cheng asked in doubt, "Since you accepted my gift, why didn't you help me refine an artefact? Do you want to accept an overlord's gift? "
"This gift is just a knock on the door. It's just to let you through the door. If you don't have a Starry Sky Grade 9 raw material, you can't even enter the door. Even if you came in, you would only have a few opportunities to meet Senior Kong He, let alone ask Senior Kong He to refine a battleship for you. "
The cyan-robed woman named Lan Yi spoke with a smile. She understood that this was Ning Cheng's first time here, so he didn't understand the rules.
If old man Kong He were so easy to invite, then this place would have been overcrowded every day. How could it be so quiet?
"Then how can I invite old man Kong He?" Ning Cheng quickly asked.
Lan Yi pointed to a guest room not far in front of them and said, "We have to go in and wait, then take out the best materials and hand them in. Only if Senior Kong He takes a fancy to your materials can he help you refine a starry sky battleship. By the way, Senior Kong He only accepts raw materials and doesn't accept Permanent Essence Pills. If not selected by Senior Kong He, then you can only go back the way you came. "
This Kong He truly was overbearing. Fortunately, he didn't lack any materials. The reason why he took out the Purple Light Treasure Essence before was that it didn't have much use for him. Moreover, he had a bunch of top-grade artefact-crafting raw materials in his ring, which he really didn't want to take out.
Ning Cheng and Lan Yi walked into the guest room and saw two cultivators with high cultivation standing guard at the door.
There were already nearly ten people sitting in the guest room. Right above the guest room was a teleportation stone platform. Behind the stone platform was a display screen.
This was Ning Cheng's first time here. Therefore, even with Lan Yi's explanation, he didn't understand the rules here. But since everyone wanted to wait here, he naturally didn't have any objections. These starry sky emperors, who were proficient in top-grade technology and could even refine artefacts, had all kinds of stinky rules.
If not for Sifting Orchid, Ning Cheng didn't want to waste time here.
Ning Cheng didn't have to wait long before a line of words appeared on the display screen in front of the guest room. "The materials sent by Zheng Liyan are unqualified. Please withdraw from Kong He Emperor Mountain …."
A yellow-robed man sitting in front of Ning Cheng heard these words and his expression turned ugly. After a while, he walked out of the guest room with his head down.
After the yellow-robed man walked out, a bald man sitting behind him walked to the top of the guest room and placed a jade box on the stone platform above the guest room.
Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness broke through the jade box placed by the bald man and saw a bottle of Broken Void Water inside. To be honest, this kind of material, even Ning Cheng was very tempted. It was a top-grade starry sky array formation material that could isolate space.
The Broken Void Water quickly teleported away. Seeing the slightly anxious look on the bald man's face, Ning Cheng couldn't help but smile in his heart. If this old man Kong He really liked artefact-crafting, then the amount of Broken Void Water would be more than enough.
In just a dozen breaths, a line of words appeared on the display screen in the guest room. "Xiang Wenyao's materials are unqualified. Please withdraw from Kong He Emperor Mountain …."
The bald man's expression turned even uglier than Zheng Liyan's. From this, one could tell that this bottle of Broken Void Water was a significant resource for him.
Seeing the bald man walk out, and seeing that his materials were not returned, Ning Cheng felt a bit unhappy in his heart.
This old man Kong He was a bit shameless. Since someone else's gift was unqualified and he didn't want to help refine a starry sky battleship, he had to return it to that person. Saying that someone else's things were unqualified, and not only did he not want to help, he even confiscated their things. This was too much. This was equivalent to accepting things twice, and he still couldn't do anything.
If it were an ordinary material, Ning Cheng wouldn't have felt so angry. But this Broken Void Water definitely wasn't an ordinary material. Moreover, this old man didn't return this material and didn't help refine a battleship.
Ning Cheng stood up. No matter how skilled this old man Kong He was, he didn't want this kind of person to help repair Sifting Orchid.
"Stop. After entering this place, you have to deliver the materials to the Heavenly Emperor before you can leave." What Ning Cheng didn't expect was that when he left the guest room, someone stopped him.
Ning Cheng laughed out of anger, "Okay, but don't regret letting me stay."
Lan Yi and Ning Cheng had exchanged a few words before and knew each other. Therefore, when she heard Ning Cheng's words, she quickly sent a voice transmission to Ning Cheng. "Dao Friend Ning, you can choose not to refine a battleship here, but don't get into a conflict on Kong He Emperor Mountain. Remember this!"
Ning Cheng nodded and sat back in his seat. At this time, the words on the display screen changed again. "Sa Ma's materials are unqualified. Please withdraw from Kong He Emperor Mountain …."
Another wild-haired man walked out in disappointment. When he walked out, two more people came in. From this, Ning Cheng could tell that this guest room had many people coming in and out.
This made Ning Cheng feel a little puzzled. It stood to reason that this old man Kong He was an expert in technology and artefact-crafting. This kind of person didn't refine battleships for others because time was precious. If he sat here and looked at materials every day, even if he could obtain a lot of precious materials, it would still be a waste of time.
Ning Cheng hadn't figured out this problem yet, but it was his turn. To confirm whether this old man Kong He was swindling materials or not, Ning Cheng simply put in a Space Crystal with a trace of spiritual consciousness imprint.
If even a Space Crystal containing the Laws of Space couldn't make this person refine a battleship, then Ning Cheng was 100% sure that this fellow was swindling high-grade materials.
Seeing Ning Cheng's jade box teleported away, the cultivator who stood at the door and stopped Ning Cheng showed a trace of disdain. Don't regret it? Didn't you still want to send out the materials?
This time, the words on the display screen didn't change. After half an incense stick worth of time, the screen showed a row of words. "Ning Cheng's materials are unqualified. Please withdraw from Kong He Emperor Mountain …."
Ning Cheng sneered and was about to speak when Lan Yi sent another voice transmission, "Dao Friend Ning, don't be confused. This is not a place to make trouble."
Ning Cheng's spiritual consciousness fell into the jade box in Lan Yi's hand, and his face immediately showed a surprised expression. He didn't expect that the thing he had been looking for would end up in Lan Yi's hands.
He had already forgotten the unhappiness with Kong He Emperor Mountain and smiled at Lan Yi. "Dao Friend Lan Yi, I wonder if you can let me see the materials you're about to send up?"
Lan Yi looked at Ning Cheng in a daze. This change was just too fast. Ning Cheng, who had an angry look on his face just a moment ago, immediately turned his attention to her materials. Did he lose his materials and want to make up for it with her materials? But this was Kong He Emperor Mountain. Trying to snatch something was tantamount to seeking death.
