"Ji He, I want to go back to the Profound Moon God Gate. Why don't you come with me to the Profound Moon God Gate, then …"
Ning Cheng interrupted Qi Shisanxing's words, "I'm going to Heaven Essence Sacred City. You can go back first. One month later, if you have time, you can come to Heaven Essence Sacred City to watch my match. If you don't have time, I will come to Profound Moon Spirit Gate to look for you. "
Ning Cheng understood the meaning behind Qi Shisanxing's words. Moreover, Qi Shisanxing's scolding just now had brought him a lot of joy. However, it also exposed some things. Previously, even if Guo Haoge pointed at Ji He's nose and scolded him, he would probably have to swallow his anger. But now, not only did he curse back, he almost made Guo Haoge vomit blood.
Ordinary people might think that Ji He's personality had changed after being trapped in the Grand Essence Mystic Realm for so many years. If it was someone with a heart, they would probably think more.
Thinking about it, if he was really Ji He, being insulted by Guo Haoge while pointing at his nose, no matter how much he endured, his Dao Heart would probably have problems.
However, Ning Cheng wasn't Ji He. Ji He was a capable person, so he couldn't bear it. Furthermore, since he managed to escape with the help of the dead Ji He, he should help Ji He vent some of his anger.
Qi Shisanxing wanted him to go to the Profound Moon Spirit Gate because he didn't want any accidents to happen.
Since Qi Shisanxing hadn't returned for a long time, Ning Cheng knew that he would have a lot of things to take care of once he returned. Besides, there was only one month left before the Grand Essence Great Meet. Taking advantage of this month, he might as well stay in Heaven Essence Sacred City and rest.
"Well, I'll rush to Heaven Essence Sacred City to meet you as soon as possible." Qi Shisanxing, on seeing Ning Cheng make up his mind, had no choice but to agree.
The Heaven Essence Sacred City was the premier sacred city of the Grand Essence Domain. No one would dare to do anything here, not even sneak around. Since Ning Cheng was in Heaven Essence Sacred City, there shouldn't be any danger. Therefore, Qi Shisanxing felt at ease.
…
After separating from Qi Shisanxing, Ning Cheng found that the cultivator with the flame hive had long since left. Ning Cheng was not in a hurry. There were not many people who needed the Golden Flame Hive, as this thing had limited uses. That cultivator also ranked in the top ten for divine grasses. That fellow would definitely go to Heaven Essence Sacred City. As long as Ning Cheng went to Heaven Essence Sacred City, he would be able to find this person. His only worry was that the other party might have traded the Golden Flame Beehive for something else.
Ning Cheng also didn't stay here for long. He brought out a flight-type weapon and rushed towards the Heaven Essence Sacred City. He had rushed to the Heaven Essence Sacred City alone to see if Man Huishan would notice anything wrong. If Man Huishan really chased after him, he would immediately activate the Breaking Boundary Talisman and leave this place. He did not have the qualifications to resist a Primordial Dao expert.
To Ning Cheng's relief, not only did Man Huishan not chase after them, but even Guo Haoge also didn't chase after them.
A few days later, Ning Cheng smoothly arrived at Heaven Essence Sacred City.
This was the first time Ning Cheng saw such a lively place after entering the Grand Essence Realm. Even the Grand Essence Ruins' public square wasn't as lively as the Heaven Essence Sacred City. Even before entering the city gates, the Holy City's periphery was already densely packed with cultivators.
The Heaven Essence Sacred City looked like a floating city, surrounded by floating clouds. One couldn't even see the slightest trace of a defensive array at the edge of the sacred city.
Ning Cheng knew that these floating clouds and the edges of the hazy city were protected by top-grade array formations. He couldn't see any traces because his Array Dao level wasn't high enough.
After landing a few dozen miles away from the Heaven Essence Sacred City, Ning Cheng put away the flight-type weapon. Outside the Heaven Essence Sacred City, there was no Forbidden Space Restriction. In a place without any Forbidden Space Restriction, Ning Cheng didn't see a single person flying. As a middle-stage Eternal cultivator, he naturally didn't dare to act rashly. He put away the flight-type weapon and walked into the Heaven Essence Sacred City like the other cultivators on the white jade road.
The closer he got to the Heaven Essence Sacred City, the more Ning Cheng could feel the rich spirit qi. Ning Cheng sighed in his heart. If he could live in such a sacred city for a long time, he would get twice the results with half the effort. He guessed that it wouldn't be easy to live in such a sacred city.
After an incense stick worth of time, Ning Cheng stood at the entrance of the Heaven Essence Sacred City. Above the city gate, four words floated in the void, Heaven Essence Sacred City.
As for the entrance fee, Ning Cheng paid 100 high-grade spirit crystals. This was the most expensive entrance fee Ning Cheng had ever seen.
Before coming here, Ning Cheng worried about finding a place to live. After all, he had experienced this kind of thing too many times. Every time a big event was held, the rest stops were always the most tense.
After entering the Heaven Essence Sacred City for a while, Ning Cheng understood that his worries were true. At this time, in the Heaven Essence Sacred City, not to mention the rest stops, even the rest stops and restaurants were overcrowded with people.
The sacred city was extremely spacious, and each street looked like a continuous public square. But no matter how spacious the streets were, one couldn't sleep or meditate on them.
With Ning Cheng's cultivation, it wouldn't be a problem for him to wander around the streets for a month. The Grand Essence Great Meet was coming soon, and he had to participate in the competition. Therefore, he naturally had to find a place to rest. He couldn't just wander around here for a month.
"Big Brother Ji He, why are you here? Aren't you ….. "A surprised voice sounded, and a female cultivator quickly appeared in front of Ning Cheng. However, this female cultivator's surprise only lasted for a moment. After that, she seemed to feel a little abrupt and even lowered her head.
This female cultivator wore a grey robe and had a fair complexion. She had thick eyebrows, but a trace of haze lingered between her eyebrows. She also looked a little tired. Although her appearance was pleasing to the eye, she wasn't as beautiful as Cen Caixuan. Moreover, her cultivation wasn't high, only at the early-stage Eternal Realm.
But these were secondary. The main thing was that Ning Cheng didn't know this female cultivator. Thinking that this scene was likely to be seen by others, Ning Cheng immediately became anxious in his heart. If someone saw Ji He meeting an acquaintance but didn't know her, it wouldn't be a good thing.
Ning Cheng quickly showed a faint smile, "It's been a long time. Let's find a place to have a cup of spiritual tea."
Seeing Ning Cheng's polite attitude, the female cultivator's eyes turned gloomy. She nodded and said, "Well, let's go to the Orchid Lake Rest Stop in front. The spiritual tea there is quite good."
"Okay." Ning Cheng followed the female cultivator and quickly turned into a rest stop on the side of the street. Only then did he feel slightly relieved. Since this person was Ji He's acquaintance, he decided to explain it to her slowly.
After the two entered the rest stop, they found that the rest stop was indeed overcrowded. Not to mention private booths, even the tables in the hall were few and far between.
"Big Brother Ji He, let's sit over there." The female cultivator pointed to an empty seat in the corner of the hall.
Ning Cheng bit his head and took the female cultivator to the rest stop's waiter. He directly grabbed a storage bag and put it in the waiter's hands, "My friend and I have some urgent matters to attend to. We need a private booth ….."
The waiter's Spiritual Consciousness swept through the storage bag that Ning Cheng gave him. With a twist of his hand, the storage bag disappeared without a trace. He then spoke with a smile on his face, "Two guests, please come with me."
After Ning Cheng and the female cultivator were led to one of the elegant private booths by the waiter, Ning Cheng secretly sighed in his heart, "This private booth is really the same as that ditch. Looks like when I go to the rest stop to find a room, I will have to use this method to squeeze in. "
After the waiter left, Ning Cheng activated the restrictions. But before he could speak, he heard the female cultivator speak out in a cold voice, "You're not Ji He. Who the hell are you, and why are you pretending to be Ji He?"
Ning Cheng was startled. He had never encountered any problems since he pretended to be Ji He. Was this female cultivator Ji He's woman? Did he accidentally give himself away? At this moment, Ning Cheng even thought of silencing her.
But the thought disappeared in a flash. He had used Ji He's identity to escape. If he wanted to kill Ji He's acquaintance, he would be worse than an animal. Not to mention killing someone in the Heaven Essence Sacred City? Did he even want to live?
Ning Cheng quickly explained everything about him and Qi Shisanxing, as well as Ji He. He had pretended to be Ji He to escape.
After listening to Ning Cheng's words, the female cultivator gave out a faint sigh, and her eyes showed a hint of sadness, "Something really happened to Big Brother Ji He."
After that, she stood up and turned back to Ning Cheng. "You don't have to worry about it. I won't say anything about it."
Ning Cheng felt a little worried that this female cultivator would say something about it. But when he heard her words, he said, "This Junior Apprentice Sister, you seem to have something on your mind. Although I've never met Ji He, he is Shisanxing's friend, and I'm also Shisanxing's friend. Now, I have to use his identity. If you don't mind, you can tell me about your troubles. Maybe I can help you. "
When the female cultivator heard Ning Cheng's words, she hesitated for a long time. Not knowing what to say, her eyes lit up and said, "Then I'll tell you about it."
After that, she sat down again.
… …
An hour later, Ning Cheng finally understood what was going on. This female cultivator's name was Xin Xiu, Ji He's Junior Apprentice Sister. Ji He also had a Junior Apprentice Brother named Wu Qihong. The three of them had a master named Di Shuibo, a Tier 6 Pill King.
Among the three, Ji He had the strongest talent in Alchemy. One time, Di Shuibo found a hidden divine herb garden. He took his three disciples into the divine herb garden, but he didn't expect to be discovered by others. While competing for the divine grasses, Di Shuibo and the other cultivator who tried to snatch them died together.
Before Di Shuibo died, he gave his ring and all the divine grasses to Ji He. He asked Ji He to continue teaching and guiding his Junior Apprentice Brother and Junior Apprentice Sister. The divine grasses in the ring were to be divided equally among the three Senior Apprentice Brother and Junior Apprentice Sister, striving to become a Pill Emperor or even a Pill Deity as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Ji He didn't listen to his master at all. Instead, he took a large number of divine grasses in the ring and left his Junior Apprentice Brother and Junior Apprentice Sister alone. Later, when Xin Xiu heard about Ji He, she learned that Ji He had already become a Tier 8 Pill Emperor of the Grand Essence Domain's Pill Union.
After Ji He left, Wu Qihong and Xin Xiu slowly came together and became dependent on each other. This time, Wu Qihong suffered serious injuries, and Xin Xiu came here to help Wu Qihong ask for pills. She had inquired about Ji He and knew that Ji He was a Pill Emperor of the Pill Union and had also fallen in the Grand Essence Mystic Realm.
Although Ji He had taken the divine grasses and left the sect, Xin Xiu still hoped that Ji He could save Wu Qihong when she saw Ji He by chance, which led to the beginning of the scene.
When Ning Cheng heard this, he felt a little dumbfounded. Sure enough, everyone had a dark side in their heart. If he hadn't met Xin Xiu, how could he have thought that Ji He, who had always been patient, would be so selfish? From Xin Xiu's words, he even heard Xin Xiu's secret love for Senior Apprentice Brother Ji He. After Ji He left with the divine grasses, she left with her Junior Apprentice Brother Ji He.
Seeing Ning Cheng in a daze, Xin Xiu spoke up, "In fact, Junior Apprentice Brother Qihong and I didn't blame Big Brother Ji …."
Ning Cheng stood up, "Junior Apprentice Sister Xin Xiu, I'm also an Alchemy Master. If you don't mind, you can call me Senior Apprentice Brother. Let's go, I'll go with you to see Junior Apprentice Brother Qihong's injuries. "
