Ning Cheng had initially thought that Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong would live in the worst rest stop. But what he didn't expect was that Xin Xiu would take him directly to the largest rest stop in Heaven Essence Sacred City, the Star Stepping Tower.
Xin Xiu and Wu Qihong not only lived in the Star Stepping Tower, but also in the most luxurious room in the Star Stepping Tower. This place consisted of three cultivation rooms, an artefact-crafting room, an alchemy room, a pet room, and a luxurious reception hall.
As soon as they entered the room, rich spirit qi wrapped around their bodies, making them feel comfortable all over.
Ning Cheng knew about the prices in Heaven Essence Sacred City very well. How much did one have to pay to live in such a place? Ning Cheng looked at Xin Xiu and sighed. One really couldn't judge a person by their looks. Maybe it was because Xin Xiu was an Alchemy Master that she was so rich. But in a place like Heaven Essence Sacred City, how could an Alchemy Master like Xin Xiu earn spirit crystals?
Xin Xiu obviously saw Ning Cheng's doubts. She showed a self-deprecating smile, "Junior Apprentice Brother Qihong and I have always had a hard time cultivating. Not to mention living in such a luxurious rest stop, even if we wanted to live in the most ordinary rest stop, we would have to think about it for a long time. Junior Apprentice Brother Qihong has been seriously injured for hundreds of years and is about to fall. Thinking about how we have been living in fear, I gritted my teeth and took out all my spirit crystals to live in the best room in the Star Stepping Tower ….. "
Ning Cheng could hear the bitterness in Xin Xiu's words. An early-stage Eternal cultivator who mainly focused on alchemy had to take care of a wounded person to survive in the Grand Essence Domain. It naturally wasn't easy.
"Take me to see Junior Apprentice Brother Qihong." Ning Cheng didn't ask much and just said to Xin Xiu.
Xin Xiu took Ning Cheng to Wu Qihong's room, and Ning Cheng saw Ji He's Junior Apprentice Brother. At this time, Wu Qihong was sleeping on the bed with his eyes closed. He didn't even breathe. If Ning Cheng hadn't felt a trace of aura from him, he would have thought that he was a dead man.
Wu Qihong's face was black and bony, even thinner than Qi Shisanxing, who had just restored his corporeal body.
Ning Cheng was a Dao Sculpting Pill Deity with an extremely powerful spiritual consciousness and cultivated a spiritual consciousness cultivation method. When he saw Wu Qihong's appearance, he immediately understood that Wu Qihong's Sea of Consciousness had shattered and that his vitality was about to dissipate. Not only that, but even his primordial spirit began to weaken.
Ning Cheng estimated that Wu Qihong would only be able to hold on for a few more days if he didn't try to save him.
Xin Xiu kept looking at Ning Cheng's face, and when she saw Ning Cheng frown, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Although she was holding on to the possibility, but she also knew what Ning Cheng's frown represented.
"Big brother, I know about Qi Hong's injuries. If you didn't …"
Ning Cheng knew what Xin Xiu wanted to say, so he interrupted Xin Xiu's words, "Saving your Junior Apprentice Brother is very troublesome, but it does not mean that it is impossible to save him … …"
Not waiting for Ning Cheng to finish, Xin Xiu showed an incomparably happy expression, even her voice trembled a little, "Big Brother, did you say that my Junior Apprentice Brother can be saved?"
Ning Cheng spoke up in an apologetic tone, "I only said that it is possible, I can temporarily keep him alive for a month, but within a month, if I cannot come up with a way to save him, then I will be powerless. Oh right, you should still call me Senior Brother Kui in the future to avoid suspicion. The person I offended is very powerful. "
The reason why he said those words was that Ning Cheng could refine the Extreme Purging Wood Essence Pill. The Extreme Purging Wood Essence Pill's grade wasn't high, just a Grade 9 Starry Sky Medicinal Pill. This medicinal pill could prolong and increase a cultivator's vitality, which was suitable for Wu Qihong.
More importantly, Ning Cheng had the main spiritual object needed to refine the Extreme Purging Wood Essence Pill, the Wood Origin Qi from the Wood Origin Crystal.
The Extreme Purging Wood Essence Pill could keep Wu Qihong's vitality for a month. But Ning Cheng was about to open Pill Sage Min Kong's bracelet. Pill Sage Min Kong was a top-grade Pill Sage. After opening his bracelet, who could be sure that there was no way to repair one's Sea of Consciousness?
"Big Brother Kui, whether Qihong can survive or not, I will always remember Big Brother's life-saving grace." Xin Xiu almost bowed to the ground. She still addressed Ning Cheng as Big Brother Kui and not as Senior Brother.
"I'm going to refine the pill immediately. After I refine the Extreme Purging Wood Essence Pill, quickly give it to Junior Apprentice Brother Qihong." Ning Cheng let Xin Xiu get up and said.
Xin Xiu stared at Ning Cheng with wide eyes and said in disbelief, "Big Brother Kui, are you a Grade 9 Pill Emperor?"
Ning Cheng nodded with a smile. In fact, he had already advanced to the Dao Sculpting Pill Deity Realm while studying artefact-crafting.
"Ah … No." Xin Xiu seemed to have suddenly thought of something and called out again, "The rent I paid here is due in one day, but …."
Ning Cheng looked at Xin Xiu's expression and understood that Xin Xiu didn't have any spirit crystals on her. Since they finally found a place to live, Ning Cheng naturally wouldn't let Xin Xiu move away. He quickly asked, "How many spirit crystals a day?"
"Ten thousand high-grade spirit crystals …." Xin Xiu hesitated. She thought that her Junior Apprentice Brother would die, which was why she decided to live in such a good place before her Junior Apprentice Brother died. Deep in her heart, she also had the thought of living in a place rich in spirit qi. Maybe her Junior Apprentice Brother's life force would suddenly shine. After living here for more than half a year, she had used up all the spirit crystals she had accumulated over the years.
Ning Cheng couldn't help but feel that it was expensive. 10,000 high-grade spirit crystals a day. If he hadn't robbed the Ninth Prince's follower, he would only have enough spirit crystals to live here for a few months.
"Don't worry about it." Ning Cheng took out a storage bag and said, "You can go down and renew the rent for two months. You can keep the rest of the spirit crystals."
Ning Cheng had nearly 10 million high-grade spirit crystals on him, and this storage bag contained a million high-grade spirit crystals. Even if he rented it for two months, he would still have to pay 400,000 more.
Xin Xiu didn't remain polite. At this time, politeness was useless. Her Junior Apprentice Brother's life was the most important thing.
After Xin Xiu went down to renew the rent, Ning Cheng directly started refining pills in Wu Qihong's room. In just an incense stick worth of time, Ning Cheng finished refining a furnace of Extreme Purging Wood Essence Pills. Putting away the pill furnace, Ning Cheng took out an Extreme Purging Wood Essence Pill and put it into Wu Qihong's mouth. A rich life force instantly radiated from Wu Qihong's body.
Although he hadn't opened his eyes, Wu Qihong's originally lifeless body now had a lot more life force.
Ning Cheng felt very satisfied. This Extreme Purging Wood Essence Pill could definitely extend Wu Qihong's life force for one to two months. If he couldn't find a way to save Wu Qihong after such a long time, then Wu Qihong would have no choice but to accept his fate.
Walking out of Wu Qihong's room, Ning Cheng felt that something was wrong. Xin Xiu had just gone down to renew a room, so why hadn't she come back up after such a long time?
Just as he thought about it, Xin Xiu came up. There was a red mark on her face, indicating that someone had slapped her.
"What's going on?" Ning Cheng asked.
Xin Xiu shook her head and handed over the storage bag given to her by Ning Cheng, "They don't want to renew the lease. They said that this place has already been rented to someone else. We will move out in a day."
Ning Cheng sneered and didn't take the storage bag from Xin Xiu. Instead, he said to Xin Xiu, "You come down with me."
It wasn't the first time Ning Cheng had stayed in a rest stop or an immortal cave. Therefore, he also knew some of the rules. As long as the guest doesn't owe rent, doesn't take the initiative to leave, and doesn't cause any loss to the inn. Everyone knew that the inn didn't have the right to chase away the guests.
Now that Xin Xiu wanted to leave, it was obvious that she was easy to bully. At this time, the rest stop was at its most crowded. Therefore, the purpose of driving away Xin Xiu was obvious.
… …
There were a lot of people in the lobby of the rest stop, and there were two cultivators laughing in front of the rental counter.
"What's wrong, are you going to check out now?" A shop assistant behind the counter saw Xin Xiu coming over and spoke with a disdainful tone.
Xin Xiu didn't speak, but Ning Cheng walked over and asked in a warm tone, "Excuse me, are there any rules about the room rental in this rest stop?"
"Are you blind? Isn't it? " When the shop assistant saw Ning Cheng and Xin Xiu coming over together, he thought that Ning Cheng wanted to defend Xin Xiu. But now that he saw Ning Cheng's respectful tone, how could he remain polite? He had a lot of experience dealing with rogue cultivators without any confidence. He had to be strong and let the other party know that they couldn't afford to offend him.
Ning Cheng's gaze fell on the rules, and in just a few breaths, he had already read through the hundreds of rules. Then he looked at the shop assistant with a smile and asked, "Excuse me, did you hit my Junior Apprentice Sister just now?"
"Yes, it was grandpa who hit ….."
Before the shop assistant could finish his words, he felt his entire body stagnate, and then his body stiffened. When he saw that Ning Cheng had bound him with his Domain and grabbed him by the neck, he immediately panicked.
Not waiting for the shop assistant to beg for mercy, Ning Cheng's illusory Celestial Essence Palm Print landed on the shop assistant's face.
"Slap Slap Slap Slap ….." With just a dozen slaps, the shop assistant's face started to bleed. However, not a single drop of blood or tooth spilled out. Instead, it dripped down the shop assistant's chin like water droplets.
"Stop ….." An angry voice arrived, followed by a more powerful domain suppressing Ning Cheng's body.
Ning Cheng opened his hand and threw the shop assistant to the corner of the counter. Only then did he calmly turn around.
The one who came over was a middle-aged male cultivator with a tall stature and slender eyes. He hadn't even walked over when a powerful domain's imposing aura descended.
However, he didn't start immediately. Instead, he stared at Ning Cheng and said, "Who is this Dao Friend? Why are you beating my Star Stepping Tower's shop assistant here? "
Although this middle-aged male cultivator hadn't started, his murderous aura had already spread out, causing the surrounding cultivators to give way. Everyone understood what this middle-aged male cultivator meant. That is, after Ning Cheng finished answering, he would immediately take him down. Or rather, this middle-aged male cultivator was also waiting for Ning Cheng to reveal his backing. Anyone who dared to beat people in this place most likely had some backing.
Heaven Essence Sacred City didn't allow killing, but it was established under certain conditions. Since Ning Cheng beat up a shop assistant in Heaven Essence's premier rest stop like this, even if he killed him on the spot, it wouldn't be a problem.
Ning Cheng cupped his fists towards this middle-aged male cultivator and said, "This shop assistant asked me to hit him, so I did it."
"You're talking nonsense. There are so many people here, when did I ask you to hit me?" The shop assistant's face looked like a rag, but he didn't suffer any serious injuries. Therefore, after hearing Ning Cheng's words, he immediately stood up and yelled at him.
