A moment ago, Ning Cheng had slapped Song Tong twice, wasting Song Tong’s cultivation permanently. If this fellow decided to use such strength on her, she would also end up in the same state as Song Tong, without much of a difference. Song Tong might be a Celestial Novice Cultivator, but she was definitely stronger compared to him. However, the difference between the two was not too significant.
Even if someone else killed this foreign cultivator, her cultivation would not recover. Moreover, absolutely no one in this place would come to rehabilitate an insignificant cultivator like her once she lost her cultivation.
“I’d like to buy a detailed Starry Sky Chart of this part of the starry sky, preferably a Starry Sky Chart that touches the edges of each low-level interface. Can you tell me where can I buy this in Border City?”
When the female cultivator heard Ning Cheng’s request, she felt relieved and carefully replied, “It would be difficult for this friend to purchase such a Starry Sky Chart. Moreover, these are not sold in any of the major stores. Only some of the big Chambers of Commerce would have such a Starry Sky Chart. But the Chambers of Commerce who owns it would never take them out for sale.”
This female cultivator did not explain why these Chambers of Commerce would not sell these Starry Sky Charts if they had them. However, Ning Cheng speculated that one of the reasons for not selling these Starry Sky Charts was that it would definitely affect the Chambers of Commerce’ businesses once sold.
Ning Cheng frowned. Although his Starry Sky Wheel had an integrated Starry Sky Chart, because he had not yet fully refined it, the Starry Sky Chart in it was not complete. It only contained a few directional markers for some of the significant areas and lacked many of the minor directional markers. If he could not purchase the Starry Sky Chart to the Rootless Black City, then he would have to explore the void on his own. In such a case, if he ended up picking the wrong direction to search, it would waste a lot of time and effort.
In any case, he had to get his hands on a Starry Sky Chart. If he had to, Ning Cheng would even head to the mansion of the Supporting Taro Star’s Celestial Lord. Moreover, the feud with Mu Pu was also quite deep, which means that sooner or later he would have to kill that sharp chinned Celestial Lord.
“Where’s Mu Pu?” Ning Cheng had just thought of it when he immediately asked.
Mu Pu?
The female cultivator immediately felt shocked when she heard Ning Cheng speak the words ‘Mu Pu’. Was this not the Celestial Lord of Supporting Taro Star. Looks like this foreign cultivator had quite the courage, no wonder he recklessly wasted Song Tian’s cultivation. But still, how could someone dare to ask about the whereabouts of Mu Pu? Wasn’t that akin to courting death?
A Celestial Shatterer Cultivator actually dared to inquire the whereabouts of a Celestial Lord.
Although she deeply despised Ning Cheng in her heart for such actions, the female cultivator still spoke with a respectful attitude on the surface, “Master Celestial Lord went to the Second Revenant Star and has not yet returned.”
Having said that, she waited for Ning Cheng to ask something before continuing, “If this friend wants to purchase this Starry Sky Chart, then it’s not completely impossible.”
“Oh, does that mean you can get it?” Ning Cheng looked at this female cultivator, who obviously looked like she did not hold a high position in doubt. Could she actually get the Starry Sky Chart?
“With this little sister’s cultivation, I naturally cannot obtain the Starry Sky Chart. However, I already told you about the Cultivator Item Exchange. There are quite a few major characters present there; therefore, someone among them must have such a Starry Sky Chart.” The female cultivator gave a respectful reply.
Ning Cheng thought over it for a short while. The Cultivator Item Exchange in the Border City would definitely involve people with some identity. Therefore, they should definitely have some ‘good’ materials for exchange. Which also meant that there was a high chance that someone would also have a Starry Sky Chart.
Thinking till here, Ning Cheng then nodded to the female cultivator and said, “Then lead the way. I’ll go to this exchange.”
After that, Ning Cheng then turned to the Yi Jin couple and spoke, “You two wait here for me. Once I obtain the chart, I’ll immediately return.”
The Yi Jin couple quickly agreed. Ning Cheng wasted the cultivation of a Celestial Novice Cultivator with just two slaps, which already had thoroughly shocked them. Arguably, a Celestial Shatterer Cultivator would never be able to depose a Celestial Novice Cultivator with such ease. Since Ning Cheng could do such a thing, then it could only mean that Ning Cheng’s strength went beyond that of ordinary Celestial Shatterer Cultivators.
……
Border City Chamber of Commerce had its headquarters in the Border City’s most prominent street.
Moreover, this Chamber of Commerce had a more extended history compared to the Supporting Taro Star’s Celestial Lord Mu Pu. According to the rumours, the first Association Head was now an expert in the Heaven Seated Realm. Unfortunately, after the Association Head left the Supporting Taro Star, he never returned.
Nevertheless, Border City Chamber of Commerce still enjoyed the highest status within the Supporting Taro Star. Even Celestial Lord Mu Pu had to give some face to this Chamber of Commerce.
Ning Cheng took Shi Qionghua and followed the female cultivator to the fifth floor of the Border City Chamber of Commerce, into a large and luxurious hall. The hall had ample brightness and shone with impeccable clarity.
Nearly two hundred cultivators sat on either side of the hall, with dozens of women standing around waiting on them.
When Ning Cheng came in, all the cultivators within the hall turned their attention to Ning Cheng, but no one spoke. Sitting at the most prominent table were five or six cultivators, including a middle-aged man with wheatish complexion, who glanced at Ning Cheng and then looked at Shi Qionghua before speaking in a calm voice, “This friend should be the one Song Tong mentioned, right? The one with Grade 3 Celestial Pills?”
“Yes, that’s me.” Ning Cheng did not wait for someone to come greet him and took the initiative to find two seats before he sat down together with Shi Qionghua.
“My name is Miao Wuqian. Although it was not in-line with the rules, I still invited you here. I hope your Grade 3 Celestial Pills would bring some surprises to the exchange.” The middle-aged man saw that Ning Cheng seemed to not put him in the eyes and spoke with a slight frown.
He had called Ning Cheng over for two purposes. The first was to let the rest of the cultivators here exchange for some of his Grade 3 Celestial Pills. In that case, most of the people here would feel indebted to him. And the second was to bring Ning Cheng to his side. Although Celestial Shatterer Cultivators did not mean much within the Border City, if this foreign Celestial Shatterer Cultivator joined his camp, it would also make Miao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce even stronger.
And, of course, there was another purpose. Miao Wuqian heard that this Celestial Shatterer Cultivator had a beautiful Dao Companion, which he confirmed it just now. The female cultivator sitting next to this Celestial Shatterer Cultivator was much better compared to all the women in his mansion’s inner courtyard.

This Miao Wuqian really took advantage of the prestige of Celestial Lord Mu Pu and was able to sit on the top with the people at the exchange meeting.
Unfortunately, Ning Cheng did not consider Mu Pu a threat anymore. So how could he take this Miao Wuqian seriously? Ning Cheng did not even bother to ignore Miao Wuqian and just wanted to exchange something for a Starry Sky Chart. With the Starry Sky Chart, he would then leave immediately. Staying here for even a day extra would make him uncomfortable.
As soon as Miao Wuqian saw that nonchalant face, his expression immediately turned cold as anger started to well up inside of him. If this foreign cultivator acted like this without not knowing his name, it would have at least some justification. However, this fellow ignored him for the second time, as if he was akin to air.
At this time, a man with a face showing the vicissitudes of living in the starry skies stood up and took out a piece of silver-coloured material and spoke, “I have a piece of Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence here. I will only exchange it for a good flight-type weapon or a defensive-type weapon.”
The gazes of everyone within the crowd immediately concentrated on the silver-coloured material in the man’s hand. Even Ning Cheng looked at this man in doubt. He vaguely felt that this man had taken out something for exchange with a seemingly deliberate attempt to interrupt Miao Wuqian’s anger to help him. If that was really the case, that this fellow definitely had a good heart.
However, the other party only had a Celestial Shatterer Cultivation. If he ended up crossing Miao Wuqian, he presumably would not end up in a better situation. However, what attracted Ning Cheng were not these antics, but the Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence in his hands. Ning Cheng had also obtained quite a few pieces of Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence from the Angry Axe Valley.
This was a top-grade artefact-crafting raw material within the low-level interfaces. Moreover, this artefact-crafting raw material was no less valuable compared to some of the starry sky raw materials. For some weapons, if it used Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence as one of the raw materials, it would make it even more expensive.
Since this fellow took out a piece of Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence, so did it mean that he also came from the Graceful Star Mainland? Thinking of this, Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness immediately penetrated into it. If this Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence came from the Angry Axe Valley, then it would contain some traces of Axe Intent within it. So Ning Cheng wanted to use this fact to confirm his theory.
However, an Origin Aura instantly attracted Ning Cheng’s attention, telling him that this was not a piece of Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence. Instead, it was a metal-attributed Origin Crystal. Ning Cheng could never think that a metal-attributed Origin Crystal would actually show up in this little Border City. This immediately reminded him of the Fire Origin Crystal. In the beginning, didn’t he find the Fire Origin while searching for the origin of the Fire Origin Crystals?
“I have a high-grade Domain-class Battleship.” A cultivator immediately put in an offer.
Ning Cheng felt somewhat speechless about this offer. A high-grade Domain-class Battleship was not something comparable to even a low-grade Celestial-class Battleship. Even that would not be enough to exchange for a real Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence, let alone a metal-attributed Origin Crystal.
Miao Wuqian, who immediately wanted to attack Ning Cheng, shifted his attention towards the cultivator who had suddenly taken out the Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence. With a gloomy gaze, he let his Spiritual Consciousness penetrate into the Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence. However, in the next instant, his expression immediately changed while his eyes revealed an intense shock. This severe shock had only appeared in his eyes before this fellow’s eyes quickly returned to their normal state a moment later.
Ning Cheng knew that this Miao Wuqian should have considerable knowledge and should have already realised that this was a metal-attributed Origin Crystal.
“I have a high-grade Celestial-class Battleship…….” Miao Wuqian immediately spoke up. It instantly surprised all the cultivators within the hall.
Although Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence was indeed a precious artefact-crafting raw material, its value still had a limit. Even so, it was not worth a high-grade Celestial-class Battleship.
Miao Wuqian also felt helpless, he did not have an intermediate-level Celestial-class Battleship; otherwise, he would have never offered a high-grade Celestial-class Battleship.
The man who brought out the Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence did not think that his Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence could actually fetch a high-grade Celestial-class Battleship in exchange. According to what he knew, a piece of Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence would not be worth even a basic-grade Celestial-class Battleship, or even a top-grade Domain-class Battleship.
He almost agreed to the offer in an instant when an abrupt voice cut off his words, “I have a middle-grade flight-type Dao Artefact and a middle-grade defence-type Dao Artefact.”
All gazes instantly turned towards Ning Cheng. If a high-grade Celestial-class Battleship already felt outrageous for a piece of Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence, then a middle-grade fight-type Dao Artefact for an Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence felt even more ludicrous. Moreover, this fellow even added a middle-grade defensive-type Dao Artefact on top of the middle-grade flight-type Dao Artefact.
Within the starry skies, one would only find two types of flight-type weapons, one of which were battleships made by technological civilisations and the other was a flight-type weapon crafted by cultivators.
For starry sky cultivators, they would be more biased towards weapons one would readily craft and refine. This kind of weapon could not only change its size but would also provide much more flexibility, especially when compared to battleships created by technological civilisations.
If one had to choose between a middle-grade flight-type Dao Artefact and a basic-grade Celestial River-class Battleship, most of the cultivators would immediately choose the middle-grade Dao Artefact.
So how could someone actually take out a middle-grade flight-type Dao Artefact to exchange for a piece of Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence; moreover, even add a middle-grade defensive-type Dao Artefact on top of it? As long as one had a brain, everyone would immediately know what to choose.
At this point, even an idiot would realise that this Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence was not something simple. Besides, of the cultivators who managed to reach the Celestial Novice Realm, who among them was an idiot?
Even the cultivator who took out the piece of Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence felt confused.
Was it not just a piece of Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence in his hands?
Miao Wuqian grunted. He already regarded Ning Cheng as a dead man. Although he had money, he could never offer a middle-grade flight-type Dao Artefact plus a middle-grade defensive-type Dao Artefact like Ning Cheng.
“Decide for yourself.” Miao Wuqian stared coldly at the cultivator who took out the Exotic Desolate Extreme Essence and spoke with a chilling voice.
This was obviously a tactic for intimidation. If one wanted to choose between a high-grade Celestial-class Battleship and a middle-grade flight-type Dao Artefact plus a middle-grade defensive-type Dao Artefact, even a fool would choose the two middle-grade Dao Artefacts. Miao Wuqian spoke those words to the cultivator to inform him that if he did not trade with him, then only death waited for him.
The cultivator’s expression immediately turned hard to look at. If it weren’t for Ning Cheng’s offer, he would have happily traded with Miao Wuqian. Now that Ning Cheng offered much more than Miao Wuqian, and with Miao Wuqian telling him to choose, it obviously contained an underlying threat.
If he didn’t choose to trade with Miao Wuqian, even if he obtained the two pieces of middle-grade Dao Artefact, he might not get to establish a foothold in the Border City. Maybe he could even lose his little life.
“Haha…..” Ning Cheng laughed before speaking up with a smile, “This father has seen shameless people before, but has never seen such shameless garbage like you.”
Miao Wuqian turned so angry at this retort that he found it difficult even to look at Ning Cheng for a moment more. He suddenly stood up and unleashed his Imposing Aura, causing the entire hall to descend into suffocation.
Ning Cheng wanted to wait till he bought the thing that he needed before killing Miao Wuqian, but since this fellow looked so anxious to find death, he would fulfil it right away.
&
nbsp; Just when Ning Cheng was about to stand up and get rid of this fellow once and for all, a pale-faced man sitting next to Miao Wuqian suddenly stood up. He then spoke with a smile, “Everyone can come to my Border City Chamber of Commerce to participate in the Item Exchange Meeting, and we, the Border City Chamber of Commerce, treat it as an honour to serve you all. However, my Border City Chamber of Commerce also values its reputation and asks all the friends here to give me, Long Ziwen, some face at least. Whatever dispute you have with each other, please do not try to act on it in my Chamber of Commerce. After the Item Exchange Meeting concludes and you leave the premises, do whatever you want.”
Miao Wuqian hesitated for a moment before glancing at Ning Cheng once again and sitting down. This immediately highlighted that he felt afraid of the Border City Chamber of Commerce’s power and prestige.
Ning Cheng on seeing that Miao Wuqian now did not want to rush out to kill him, also did not feel like killing him anymore, at least not for now. Instead, he took out a medicinal pill and put it on the table in front of him, “This is a Harmonising Celestial Pill, a top-quality medicinal pill…..”
Ning Cheng’s words had not finished when people interrupted him with scorching gazes and shocked exclamations. At this time, all the cultivators sitting in the hall stared at the medicinal pill in front of Ning Cheng. Several cultivators even stood up and seemed to want to rush out and grab it from Ning Cheng.
Harmonising Celestial Pill aah, which Celestial Gatherer Cultivator who wanted to breakthrough to the Celestial Bridge Realm, would not want this kind of medicinal pill? As for the words ‘top-quality’, people wholly ignored it. In this place, why would anyone care about what qualified as top-quality and what did not qualify as top-quality? As long as it was a Harmonising Celestial Pill, everyone would go crazy over it.
Even Miao Wuqian gazed at the Harmonising Celestial Pill with red eyes. He vowed to himself that he must get his hands on this medicinal pill. He was only a step away from the Celestial Bridge Realm, and with this medicinal pill, he could have a higher, almost 100% chance of advancing to the Celestial Bridge Realm. At that moment, he could quickly become the overlord of one direction.
