Ning Cheng was able to catch a glimpse of two silhouettes of cultivators near to it, from looking at their frantic speed of the two cultivators as they strived to avoid the hurricane; he was able to make out that they were definitely Crucible Transformation Cultivators. However, at this moment, these two Crucible Transformation Cultivators were like two stray dogs, as they were in a complete frenzy to escape.
Although the two Crucible Transformation Cultivators’ speed was fast, it was a pity that the hurricane was even faster. In just a few breathes, these two Crucible Transformation Cultivators were finally swallowed up. Ning Cheng could vaguely see the two shadows of the Crucible Transformation Cultivators inside it, who then turned into mincemeat in just a moment. These two Crucible Transformation Cultivators were not even capable of showing even a shred of resistance.
This hurricane was truly too powerful, to the point that even Crucible Transformation Cultivators were unable to resist it. He did not need to think about what would happen if it caught up to him.
“Master, the Battle Disc is unable to change the direction to evade the range of the hurricane. The hurricane will reach us in ten breaths before it whirls away with the Battle Disc.” Sifting Orchid’s intelligent voice resounded.
Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness had just swept past a mountain peak several hundred meters high that the hurricane had swept away when he heard the intelligent voice of Sifting Orchid. It caused his heart to feel even more anxiety.
This hurricane’s range seemed to be endless, to the point that there was no place to escape, nor was there any direction from which they could avoid the hurricane.
Ning Cheng knew that he couldn’t rely on the Rank 5 Battle Disc; he could only rely on himself. During these ten breaths, Ning Cheng did not consider anything else; he just threw the Battle Disc into the miniature world before he directly entered the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
This was the first time that Ning Cheng used the Mysterious Yellow Bead for escape. He had just entered the Mysterious Yellow Bead when the terrifying hurricane swept over. However, even though the storm was frightening, it was still not enough to disturb the aura disseminating from the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
With Ning Cheng finally able to enter the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he was finally able to relax for a while. He believed that even if the Sifting Orchid Star exploded right now, it would still not be enough to cause any harm to his Mysterious Yellow Bead.
The Mysterious Yellow Bead was a Good Fortune Treasure, if it was so easy to destroy it, then renaming it, as Good Fortune Fart, would be more appropriate.
A strand of Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness carefully swept out from the Mysterious Yellow Bead, but not waiting for his Spiritual Consciousness to investigate the situation, the terrifying hurricane immediately shredded apart that strand of Spiritual Consciousness. Ning Cheng immediately felt a sharp pain within his Sea of Consciousness, causing him to withdraw his Spiritual Consciousness quickly.
After an incense stick worth of time, Ning Cheng once again extended out a strand of his Spiritual Consciousness. Upon discovering the Mysterious Yellow Bead buried underground, he immediately realized that the hurricane had finally passed. Ning Cheng quickly recalled the Mysterious Yellow Bead, before he finally came above ground.
Standing above ground once again, Ning Cheng felt an intense shock as he surveyed the surroundings. Wherever he looked, everything looked like it was gnawed by rabid dogs, the ground was completely flipped over, with crisscrossing gullies, was there even a single smooth and flat place remaining?
He was sure that if this kind of hurricane passed by where he lived, even if he reinforced it repeatedly, it would still vanish without even a single trace remaining. Living in the Sifting Orchid Star, one really ended up living on the edge of a blade aah.
Ning Cheng immediately took out the Battle Disc and rode off. Although the Battle Disc could not escape the hurricane, however, the Battle Disc had at least warned him ahead of time. If not for the Battle Disc’s reminder, if Ning Cheng had waited for his perception to notice the hurricane, then perhaps the cyclone would have already swept him away.
……
Two days later, Ning Cheng finally arrived at the Coiling Reef Mountains, while he had already put away the Battle Disc.
There were at least ten thousand people gathered at the Coiling Reef Mountains, causing a massive shock to Ning Cheng. He had initially thought that there were very few people who chose to cultivate in the Sifting Orchid Star, even if it was a cultivator meet at the Coiling Reef Mountains, just a gathering of hundreds or even a few thousands would be an unusual turnout. He had never thought that there would actually be over ten thousand people turning up at this place. Moreover, there was still a steady stream of cultivators coming in from all directions.
As Ning Cheng looked around, he found that his cultivation was quite low. However, he also found a few Soul Essence Cultivators. Compared to the cultivators in the Soul Sculpting and Sea Opening Realm, the number of Soul Essence Cultivators was the least. Even the Crucible Transformation Cultivators’ numbers were higher than the number of Soul Essence Cultivators.
Some people had also set up temporary stalls everywhere, without any kind of planning or anyone to oversee the transactions. Moreover, some of the wealthy cultivators still managed to build their own merchant halls.
There was a cultivator group in the east, along with a team in the west, exchanging goods with each other.
As Ning Cheng looked at all these things, he also started looking for an open space to set up his own stall. He did not have any Magical Weapons to set up a full-fledged merchant hall; as such, he could only set up a temporary booth. However, compared to the other stalls, the things that he put on display over his temporary stall were under the protection of Defensive Array Formations.
The reason why Ning Cheng chose to display his goods in such a manner was due to a single purpose, that is, to obtain as many ‘Rank 7’ and ‘Rank 8’ Spiritual Grasses in exchange for Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar. Other than the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, Ning Cheng did not have many things on a similar level. Moreover, even if he did have such objects, he was reluctant to bring them up for exchange.
Ning Cheng had just set up his stall, had only put a few bottles of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, and had not even put up a sign when two cultivators arrived in front of his stall.
“Are you Ning Cheng?” The man speaking did not have any eyebrows. However, this person without any eyebrows had a very prominent forehead. It was a kind of appearance that if once seen could never be forgotten.
Seeing Gongye Yingxiu behind this person, how could Ning Cheng not know as to what was going on?
“That’s right, I’m Ning Cheng.” This eyebrow-less man was a Soul Sculpting 7
th
Level Cultivator, while Gongye Yingxiu was also similarly a 7
th
Level of the Soul Sculpting Realm. However, even with this kind of cultivation, Ning Cheng was not afraid of them.
Previously, if it wasn’t because of Shi Qionghua’s matter, Ning Cheng choose not to haggle over the issue regarding Gongye Yingxiu. However, if at this moment Gongye Yingxiu decided to play any kind of tricks, he would also not show even a bit of mercy.
“I heard that you were able to obtain many strains of True Polar Bamboo Sprouts, bring them all out, I will give you a high…..” This eyebrow-less man had not finished his words when his gaze fell onto the few bottles of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar placed in front of him over Ning Cheng’s stall, causing him to cry out in surprise, “Is that the Spiritual Enhancement True nectar?”
Although the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar only had a single effect, it was one of the rarer Spiritual Objects and was incomparably precious. Moreover, this kind of thing was useful for everyone, but at the same time, each cultivator did not need to use too much of it.
“Congratulations, you got it right; this is a stash of Spiritual E
nhancement True Nectar.” Ning Cheng spoke out in a calm tone. Finished saying that, he then waved his hand, causing a golden signboard, that was also a Display Array Formation, to come out to aid him in a demonstration.
“This stall is selling a large quantity of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, if you want to purchase the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, then please use Rank 7 and above Spiritual Grasses for the exchange. Spiritual Grasses below Rank 7 will not be accepted.”
Ning Cheng was currently barely able to refine Rank 7 Pills, so if he wanted to advance to a Tier 8 Pill Master, then ordinary Spiritual Grasses would not be of much use for him.
This eyebrow-less cultivator was just not able to stop Ning Cheng’s advertisement, but he still lifted his hand to reach out for Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar.
“Bang” However the eyebrow-less cultivator’s hand was immediately rebounded by Ning Cheng’s restriction. It was only at this moment that he discovered that an Array Formation protected Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar.
“Hurry up, let me have a look at your Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar.” The eyebrow-less cultivator anxiously spoke up, while at the same time even brought out his Magical Weapon to attack Ning Cheng’s restriction.
It was not only this eyebrow-less man, even Gongye Yingxiu, who was a few feet behind the eyebrow-less cultivator, who had eagerly stepped forward. It was apparent that he was also anxious about the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar.
Ning Cheng simply ignored the actions of that eyebrow-less cultivator and even Gongye Yingxiu. Instead, he chose to shout out in a loud voice, “I have a lot of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar here, but the quantity of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar that I am selling here is still limited. So if you want to purchase it then better come forward quickly, don’t be slow about it…”

For Ning Cheng, no matter whether he could exchange his goods for a more substantial number of Rank 7 or above Spiritual Grasses, he had already made the decision to leave the Sifting Orchid Star. Therefore, him bringing out a significant amount of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, he did not care if he garnered the envious gazes from these people.
“I asked you something, didn’t you hear?” The male cultivator without eyebrows suddenly unleashed his imposing aura, trying to use it to force Ning Cheng to acquiesce to his demands. He could see more and more cultivators making their way towards them, with his cultivation of Soul Sculpting 7
th
Level, he would not be able to dominate others whose cultivation was above him.
However, Ning Cheng quietly waited until enough cultivators had gathered around his stall. Then he looked at the eyebrow-less male cultivator and spoke, “I heard you, although I do have a bit of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar to my name, if you want me to sell them to you, then you just have to bring out the kind of Spiritual Grasses that I mentioned. Just selling to one person is anyway a bad business, so why should I chose to sell only to you, even if you want to buy it?”
“Is it really the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar aah?”
“Ahh, it’s the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, what’s your price?”
……
In just a short time, the front of Ning Cheng’s stall turned overcrowded to the point of bursting. All the people were greedily staring at the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar placed at the front of Ning Cheng’s booth. Every person there was trying to sweep the stall with his or her Spiritual Consciousness. Unfortunately, all of these Spiritual Consciousnesses were blocked by the restrictions protecting it without any exception.
At this moment, everyone in the crowd realized that Ning Cheng was an Array Formation Master, causing the surrounding crowd to sober up a little. If it were not the last resort, only a handful of people would take the initiative to offend an expert in Array Formations.
“Ladies and gentlemen, my Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar can only be exchanged with Spiritual Grasses, as for Spirit Stones, I will not accept them. If it is a precious Rank 7 Spiritual Grass, then I will trade one strand of it for one drop, if they are just ordinary Rank 7 Spiritual Grasses then depending on the quality, I will be trading one drop for two to five strains. If you have Rank 8 Spiritual Grasses, then I will exchange them for ten to twenty drops, again depending on the value of the strain.” Ning Cheng held up his cupped fists and spoke out loudly.
“That can’t be right, right? How can it be so expensive? It’s a Rank 7 Spiritual Grass, but the exchange price is still set this high.”
Ning Cheng was also fully aware that the exchange price he quoted was highly unreasonable, he had indeed undermined the value of Rank 7 Spiritual Grasses, even by his own standards. However, Ning Cheng did not intend to change it, it was anyways a one-time deal. More importantly, the most important things for him were the Rank 8 Spiritual Grasses. He was currently a Tier 7 Pill Master, even if was able to obtain a mountain full of Rank 7 Spiritual Grasses, it would only help him in raising his level of refinements of Rank 7 Pills a bit higher.
As for the Rank 8 Spiritual Grasses, their real exchange value was also far beyond the twenty drops of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar that he had set. However, Ning Cheng knew that he did not need many good quality Rank 8 Spiritual Grasses. As long as he was able to refine Rank 8 Pills, it would be more than enough. As such, it was unimportant for him when it came to the degree of the preciousness of such Spiritual Grasses.
Ning Cheng did not explain the price he set for the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar. Instead, he spoke out loudly, “These things are limited; if you want to buy them then come forwards first, otherwise don’t cry when the deal expires.”
Ning Cheng’s words were more powerful than any kind of explanation. He had just finished his words, when someone immediately brought out a few Spiritual Grasses and pushed himself to the front before speaking up, “I have Black Bamboo Bud, Silver Earth Ginseng, and Thoughtless Ice Flower….”
“I have the Black Elm Orchid, the Profound Moon Ephemera….”
“I have….”
At this moment, although there were a few people who wanted to raise the issue of the high exchange price, the ones who wanted to first complete the exchange of the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar pushed them all back.
Ning Cheng’s hand speed was also rapid, and in just a short time, the Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar that he had placed on display in his stall changed into one handful of Spiritual Grass after another. When the other cultivators saw Ning Cheng bring out even more Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar from inside his ring, especially those who were not able to squeeze into the crowd before, it caused fiery glints to emerge in the eyes of a few ferocious cultivators.
Ning Cheng was just a single person, yet he possessed this much Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, which he was rapidly changing into heaps of Spiritual Grasses. This kind of wealth was inconceivable, causing all of them to formulate their own plans. Once Ning Cheng left this place, they would immediately follow him.
Only Gongye Yingxiu’s face was growing incomparably dark, he knew that he would never even get to have a share of the things on Ning Cheng’s body. Ning Cheng was publically selling a considerable quantity of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, if the top level cultivators did not already mark him, then it would indeed be a strange event. In his opinion, Ning Cheng was a complete idiot. He could only sigh himself for having such rotten luck.
Only an hour had passed by, but Ning Cheng had already exchanged his goods for over a thousand Rank 7 Spiritual Grasses, and more than 300 Rank 8 Spiritual Grasses. However, it was just as Ning Cheng expected, most of these Spiritual Grasses were only ordinary Spiritual Grasses, with only a
few precious Spiritual Grasses coming out.
Ning Cheng was also very helpless regarding this, he was also well aware that if he had opened an Alchemy stall in this place, then he would have been able to obtain even more Spiritual Grasses. Moreover, even the quality would also be a lot better, while at the same time, it would also provide him with an enormous advantage in improving his Alchemy skills. Unfortunately, he was also aware that it was too risky to produce Rank 7 Pills, let alone Rank 8 Pills. Regardless of other factors, just the furnace time required would already be too long. He also did not want to spend any more time in this place.
“Good, my Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar has been completely exchanged, so for the friends at the back, I can only give you my apologies.” Ning Cheng emptied the last jade bottle that he had placed at the front of the stall, while at the same time deliberately picked up that same jade bottle and spoke out in a loud voice. Whatever be the case, Ning Cheng now had the materials to become a Tier 8 Pill Master, barely. Since Ning Cheng already had enough Spiritual Grasses, then he did not need to continue with the exchange.
Some of the cultivators who were not able to conduct an exchange, immediately erupted in a cacophony of noises, at the same time, several among them even began to make their way towards Ning Cheng’s stall.
The eyebrow-less cultivator and Gongye Yingxiu were among the ones who were not able to bring out any Spiritual Grasses for the exchange, causing them to stare at Ning Cheng with heated eyes. They could not help but calculate as to how wealthy this person currently was in their hearts.
When they saw that Ning Cheng’s stall was about to be close up, they were also able to sense that many of stronger cultivators wanted to cause some trouble. Therefore, they also decided to gang up with some of them to kill Ning Cheng. In any case, they were aware that killing Ning Cheng by themselves would be impossible in the face of such a crowd. Therefore, at this moment, they could only follow the others and then see if they would be able to obtain a slight advantage.
