The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

“She is the Floating Snow Palace’s Yin Kongchan, moreover the premier disciple of the Floating Snow Palace, who has not yet advanced to the Soul Sculpting Realm. Although she does indeed have all the qualifications to advance, however she herself is not willing to advance.” At the moment, that white robed Daoist Priestess suddenly supplemented with a sentence.

  “Xu Yingdei, you are not bad yourself. You have also not advanced to the Soul Sculpting Realm, I estimate that it is because you were not able to grasp the chance to completely sever your emotions, which would end up bringing harm to others, anyways, isn’t this the usual means of the Severing Emotions Dao Sect.” Yin Kongchan also returned a sentence in a cold voice.

  Ning Cheng suddenly experienced a hint of clarity in his mind, in the jade strip that Elder Bei had left behind for him, it was mentioned that the Floating Snow Palace and the Severing Emotions Dao Sect had visited the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect to propose a marriage. Weren’t the names of the two women mentioned in it, the one’s he heard just now? If these two women indeed were the same, then Ning Cheng completely understood as to why did these two women showed such a huge tolerance towards him.

  But in what world would these two women deem him to be worthy in their eyes? Ning Cheng would never believe that these two women had truly taken a fancy to him. The Severing Emotions Dao Sect’s Xu Yingdei wants to use him to sever her emotions, how was it any different from forgetting a lifelong companion? Against all expectation, why did they try to look for him? Looking at her being surrounded with many men and women, didn’t she already have many better choices?

  And what about this Yin Kongchan, Ning Cheng did not believe for a single moment that this woman would choose to marry him, let alone go out on a date with him. Did the people become blind to not see that Jiang Jun sticking to her like a dog skin plaster?

  “Oh, I remember who he is; he is that Ning Cheng, the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Ning Cheng, who half a year ago had saved more than a hundred elite disciples of the major academies from that ancient immortal cave…”

  When Ning Cheng heard those words, he knew that he was finally recognized by the people here. Although Ning Cheng did not have much worry for being recognized by the masses, but now that they had recognized him, he would have to be a lot more careful about his actions. Moreover, he also had no choice to not change appearance when he planned to seek asylum from the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect at the time he joined.

  “No wonder he is so powerful, I heard that he was not afraid of even the Life Essence of that ancient immortal cave.”

  “Don’t you know anything? Didn’t you hear about how he openly cursed at the Red Star Sword Faction’s Crucible Transformation Elder Tang…..”

  The person behind the voice only spoke half of what he wanted to say, while he chose not to speak the rest of the words. It could be guessed that the person was somewhat afraid of the Red Star Sword Faction’s disciples that were still present here.

  Ning Cheng hearing until here cupped his fists towards the crowd and spoke, “Ladies and gentlemen, yes, I am indeed the Ning Cheng you speak of. Since everyone here already recognizes me, then why don’t we discuss a bit of business here. I still have a small barrel of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar left with me, originally I had used half a scoop of it to wash my hands and feet during a very distressing period for me, as for why I used the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar in such a manner, I guess everybody already knows the answer to it, as such I would not be speaking much about it. In addition to the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, I also have a nine-coloured Mirage Stone, which I was able to obtain through an accident…”

  Ning Cheng, after being recognized by the masses here, simply chose to disclose the things that everybody already seemed to know. And after the cultivators heard those words coming directly from the mouth of Ning Cheng in an open manner, they couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air, as they thought to themselves, that the legends regarding him were definitely true, that Ning Cheng not only had the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar but also a nine-coloured Mirage Stone.

  “But then again, I am someone timid by nature, along with having a low cultivation. Although I own a few good things, but I am always a bit frightened because of it. Some academies would always try to think of ways and using a variety of means to deceive me out of my things. Although all of us are comparatively more honest, in the case of meeting deception, it would simply be too late to die with regrets… As such, today I will take this opportunity to trade away these two things, whether it is spirit stones, magical weapons, or various other treasures of the heaven and earth, as long as I am satisfied with it, I will conduct the exchange……”

  Finished saying that, Ning Cheng directly took out a jade barrel, before carefully placing it on the stall, and then took out another jade box and placing it alongside it on the stall. Now that his identity was found out by the others, eventually he would have to leave this place to search for a safe place to cultivate. As such, it would be better if he could earn a bit of spirit stones before he left. Once he sold out ‘all’ of his stuff, then the Severing Emotions Dao Sect and the Floating Snow Palace would have no reason to place importance on him, right?

  “So you originally were Senior Apprentice Brother Ning. This is truly wonderful.” Zhang Qian had surprise plastered all over his face, as he moved to get ready to help Ning Cheng at the same time.

  Ning Cheng did not place any restriction on the barrel; moreover, there was also no lid over the barrel. As such, the people had a clear view over the contents, and found that the jade barrel truly contained the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar. Regardless of whether or not Ning Cheng’s Mirage Stone was real or not, seeing so much Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar put on sale, they realized that the price would also not be too high.

  “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, what is the exchange price of your Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar?”

  “Elder Brother Ning…..”

  The cultivators present here were aware that they would not be able to afford to buy a Mirage Stone, however for the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, as long as it was being exchanged for spirit stones and not for Spiritual Mist Pills, everybody would then be able to afford it.

  “Everyone, the price of each drop of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar is set for 20,000 spirit stones, while the price of the Mirage Stone is negotiable. If you want more Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, then you can only exchange for it.”

  As soon as Ning Cheng spoke out the price, it immediately caused a huge stir among the masses, as it meant that everyone could have the chance to purchase it. Which cultivator among them present here did not have at least several hundred thousand spirit stones, if not a few million spirit stones?

  “I want 50 drops…..”

  “I want 30 drops…..”

  ……

  In just a short time, a crazy amount of people surged towards Ning Cheng’s stall, no matter what origins they had, no matter what kind of background they came from, all of them wanted to purchase the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar. With this item being sold at such a cheap price, if they ended up missing this opportunity, where else would they buy it from then?

  Even Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei could not help but buy 50 drops each.

  Although Ning Cheng’s barrel was not small, even then, the barrel filled with Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar was almost completely sold out; this large barrel of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar brought him approximately 80 million spirit stones. In fact, Ning Cheng was well aware that this price was actually a lot cheaper that the price at which he had sold to the Heavenly Stars Auction House. Besides, who let him bring out this much of this stuff?

  “Elder Brother Ning, I just received a request from my academy, they are willing to shell out 200 million spirit stones, plus four top quality Soul Condensing Pills, to buy half a barrel of your Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar.” An eager voice sounded out, however at this time, most of Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Enhance
ment True Nectar was sold out.

  “Such a high price?” Ning Cheng’s face immediately showed an extreme shock, which was then followed by a regretful expression.

  “Alas, I ended up selling it cheaply. It really is a pity, why didn’t you mention this earlier. Currently the amount of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar in my possession is not even equivalent to what is being held in the hands of the cultivators here. What a pity, it really is a shame.”

  Ning Cheng sighed to himself, before he cupped his fists and spoke “Friends, just look at how I sold my Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar to you all at the lowest price, and ended up missing the opportunity to rake in a fortune, as such everyone must keep this in your hearts.”

  These cultivators had all bought Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, and couldn’t help but give bright smiles towards Ning Cheng. Only the cultivator who proposed the offer of 200 million spirit stones, showed disappointment in his eyes. Ning Cheng was aware that the disappointment in the eyes of that person was not because he was unable to purchase the half a barrel of the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, but rather was disappointed in himself because of his failed probe in finding out if he was hiding more quantities of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar on his body.

  As to the Mirage Stone, no one dare to even enquire about it, which was still within Ning Cheng’s expectations. Although everybody here wanted the nine-coloured Mirage Stone, but all of them were aware that it was akin to a hot cake. Moreover, they wouldn’t even be able to put a price on it anyway, as an object of this level simply did not have a clear price tag attached to it.

  Ning Cheng felt a bit contended as he collected his things before he patted Zhang Qian’s shoulder and spoke, “Junior Apprentice Brother Zhang, I’ll be taking my leave now. See you around in the academy. Good bye.”

  Originally, Ning Cheng wanted to let Zhang Qian pass a message to Elder Bei asking for some help, but thinking that Zhang Qiang might not have the qualifications to seek an audience with someone of his level, he simply chose to omit those words.

  As Ning Cheng walked out of the Exchange Hall, Ying Kongchan and Xu Yingdei also immediately followed him out just behind him. As to Jiang Jun, who had clung onto the side of Yin Kongchan, he unexpectedly did not chose to continue following them, causing Ning Cheng to feel somewhat strange.

  As Ning Cheng came out of the Exchange Hall, he immediately sped up, but although he was fast, Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei, these two people, still closely followed behind him.

  Ning Cheng was just about to step out of the Heavenly Dao Public Square, when he finally stopped, as he looked back to the two female cultivators following him and spoke, “The two of you, bright people like you must not speak obscure words, otherwise this nonsense would go on incessantly without much of a justification. It would be better if you came out and spoke what you want before we separate. Yin Kongchan, I will be going into secluded cultivation currently, it would be best if you did not follow me. As for going out to drink coffee, I will ask you out for a drink some other time when I’m free.”

  “And Xu Yingdei, I saved you once, while you also allowed me to obtain some advantages from you, with this regard we are even with each other, so whether we meet or not after today is irrelevant. Moreover, every scrap of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar on me was sold out, as such, there is nothing extra with me to spare for your dowry. As for the Mirage Stone, if you really want it, then you can come to the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect to purchase it, in any case, I will not be able to run off with it. Now, I’m going to ask the two of you to go out and find a good home to marry into if you are only interested in marrying, just please don’t follow me, okay?”

  If not for these two women, he would have already used his Twin Wings of the Heavenly Cloud to escape, before using an Escaping Talisman. But now that these two women were following him, as such he had no way to escape from this place without attracting attention.

  Yin Kongchan replied in a soft voice, “Now is not the time to be discussing this, you should be looking for a way to deal with the imminent.”

  Yin Kongchan’s voice had just fell, when Ning Cheng found himself surrounded by a number of cultivators, moreover as more and more cultivators arrived to surround him, he found that even the space around him was sealed up.

  Ning Cheng’s expression finally changed. As he looked into the eyes of Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei, no longer having that easy going look.

  Xu Yingdei seemed to know what Ning Cheng was thinking about and spoke, “Even if we did not follow you, you would still not be able to escape far. With Jiang Jun’s personality, if he allowed you to safely exit the Heavenly Dao Public Square, it would truly be a strange thing. However for you to have stopped here, for you, it can be considered as a good thing.”

  However, it had to be said that Ning Cheng was also not much worried in his heart. Ding Liang ending up dead against him was completely normal for a challenge. If the Red Star Sword Faction used this fair and square challenge as a kind of reason to persecute him, then it would only serve to prove that the Heavenly Dao Academy was simply too weak.

  But for some reason Ning Cheng also couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong, as more and more cultivators gathered around him. It was as if he was being treated as the No. 1 fugitive. When did the Red Star Sword Faction enjoy this kind of appeal?

  “You do not have to feel surprised about it; it is because Ding Liang is ranked within the top hundred in the preliminary round of Profound Core Realm Group in the Tian Continent’s Great Meet of the Academies. At this time, if any one of those cultivators ended up dead, all the academies of the Tian Continent would get involved in a meticulous investigation. Otherwise, the Tian Continent’s Great Meet of the Academies would become completely messed up after the preliminary round.”

  Yin Kongchan’s words immediately caused Ning Cheng to sober up, if the academies, in order to secure a better ranking, specifically engaged in assassinating the strong cultivators of their opponents, it would indeed turn the tournament into a chaotic mess.

  “Ning Cheng, last time you saved more than a hundred True Inheriting and Core Disciples of the Tian Continent. For that, many of the Tian Continent’s Academies are thankful to you. But why did you kill the cultivator participating in the Tian Continent’s Great Meet of the Academies?” When this voice fell, Ning Cheng immediately felt his surroundings to be filled with a powerful imposing aura, to the point that he couldn’t even move.

  Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei who were tightly following behind him till this moment were now behaving as if they were mute, unexpectedly not one of them decided to stand up and speak out to help him. At this Ning Cheng couldn’t help but curse at them in his heart, it seems that he can only rely on himself to explain in detail the events that transpired within the Exchange Hall.

  “Humph, complete nonsense. In the Heavenly Dao’s Cultivator Exchange Hall, even if a duel were to break out, no one would be as vicious as you. I’m sure that this is a conspiracy concocted by your Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, using ten drops of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar to anger my Red Star Sword Faction’s Profound Core Cultivator, and then use that opportunity to kill my Red Star Sword Faction’s Profound Core Cultivator who had qualified the preliminaries. Since this place already is presided over by the Heavenly Dao Public Square’s Deacon, as well as fellow friends from the major academies, for someone who uses such despicable and dirty means, what do you all suggest on how to deal with this situation?”

  When Ning Cheng saw the cultivator speaking those words, he immediately knew that his old enemy was coming back to haunt him. It was none other than the Red Star Sword Faction’s sickly looking Elder Tang Gongxi who
had initially tried to force his secrets out of him, at this time that Tang Gongxi’s face had a murderous look on it. While at his side, Jiang Jun kept staring at him with a sarcastic look on his face.

  “Kill him…..”

  “Pinch him to death……”

  ……

  Tang Gongxi, as the Red Star Sword Faction’s Crucible Transformation Elder, was immediately supported by many of the cultivators present there.

  “Well, let’s just do this, I won’t kill him, rather I’ll just take out his Golden Core, as a recompense and comfort to the departed soul of my Red Star Sword Faction’s Cultivator Ding Liang. With Ding Liang’s loss, my Red Star Sword Faction’s results in the Great Meet’s Profound Core Group would surely drop by a large margin……” As Tang Guangxi spoke, he had already raised his hand to grab Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng, at this moment, could help but feel a bit anxious in his heart, as at this time, he really was not able to move at all.

  ……

  “Haha… That Red Star Sword Faction’s Ding Liang was killed, killing him was good, truly good…..” At the place where the Rainbow Fall Sword sect was temporarily stationed, a Crucible Transformation Elder could be seen laughing heartily.

  Bei Youfa, who was sitting on the side, gave a sigh, “Alas, although one of the cultivators of the Red Star Sword Faction who passed through the preliminaries was killed, but it would still not bring much of a benefit to our Rainbow Fall Sword Sect. The overall strength of our Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Profound Core Realm Group is truly a bit low.”

  That laughing Crucible Transformation Elder disagreed, “Although those words are the painful truth, but if I looked at that prideful look on that Red Star Sword Faction’s Tang Gongxi one more time, it would only make me feel even more uncomfortable. I don’t know who killed this Ding Liang, but I have to say that their courage is truly quite high……”

  This Crucible Transformation Elder’s words had not finished, when the communication pearl on Deputy Academy Head Tantei Fei, who was also sitting on one side, immediately lit up. As Tantei Fei’s spiritual consciousness fell onto the communication pearl, his face immediately changed as he stood up immediately.
