“Blood River Red Lotus?” Ning Cheng had just finished arranging his stall, when someone immediately screamed out.
Then someone suddenly spoke out, “I understand now, he is No. 436, the cultivator with the Blood River Red Lotus.”
Knowing that the Blood River Red Lotus actually belonged to Ning Cheng, some of the cultivators who were badly in need of the Blood River Red Lotus couldn’t stop themselves from squeezing to the front, as they cautiously asked Ning Cheng the price for the Blood River Red Lotus.
Ning Cheng seeing that there were still many people who wanted to inquire about it, hurriedly stood up and spoke, “I will only exchange my Blood River Red Lotus for the Soul Condensing Pill or any other pills or objects that would help in advancing to the Soul Essence Realm. As for Junior Apprentice Brother Zhang Qing standing next to me with his Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, he only wants to exchange them for ‘Spiritual Mist Pills’ and spirit stones.”
“Although these things are truly good, but unfortunately there are only ten drops of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, it is just too little. I will use ten medium quality Spiritual Mist Pills plus a hundred thousand spirit stones in exchange for your Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar, how about it?”
“I will use two Green Radish Amethyst Fruits in exchange for your Blood River Red Lotus, how about it? If you think it is less, then I will also add some spirit stones…”
All kinds of exchange offers could be heard all around. Although Zhang Qian had easily managed to trade for what he wanted, however Ning Cheng did not have an easy time in searching for the Soul Condensing Pill.
Seeing the mess of offers, Ning Cheng once again helplessly stood up and spoke with his fists cupped, “Fellow friends, I only need things that would help me in advancing to the Soul Essence Realm. Moreover, all of you have just seen what happened a few moments ago. My cultivation is somewhat of a handicap for me, allowing some people to rely on their own high cultivation levels, to easily threaten me. Causing me to be very afraid in my heart. As such, I am very much looking forward to my advancement to the Soul Essence Realm, so that the threat to someone trashy like me would be a lot less.”
Some of the cultivators on hearing Ning Cheng’s words couldn’t help but secretly despise him, as they inwardly cursed at him
who are you fooling by saying that you are scared? With that arrogant mouth of yours, who would even cause you to feel afraid?
“This friend, if you are willing to believe in me, then you will put away your Blood River Red Lotus, while I go find you a Soul Condensing Pill. We can then exchange it afterwards?” At this time, that stunning looking female cultivator who was standing not far away from Ning Cheng took the initiative to speak up.
“I’m truly sorry, but I do not believe in you. Since you are roaming around with a stinking insect, it would be best if you could move far away from me……” Ning Cheng spoke in a quiet manner, while also was somewhat admiring that Jiang Jun. Even after all the insults that he had thrown at him, he had still not left, and was still standing on the side of the beautiful looking woman.
Jiang Jun on hearing Ning Cheng’s words, had blue veins pop up on his hands, but because he still had a bit of reason left in himself, as such he was able to keep his impulses in check. If it was any other place than the one they were in, he would have already begun ruthlessly torturing him.
The beautiful looking female cultivator on hearing Ning Cheng’s words immediately shut her mouth. Although it did not make her leave, but it also led to the situation of Jiang Jun not leaving.
At this point, several cultivators once again gathered towards a corner of the Main Hall, although Ning Cheng was doing his best to hawk his Blood River Red Lotus, but he always kept an eye out for the changing situations in the Main Hall.
When he saw that cultivators were coming out from a corner of the Main Hall, he immediately spoke with a startled voice, “Whoa, this Main Hall has other entrances?”
Some of the cultivators wanting to purchase Ning Cheng’s Blood River Red Lotus immediately gave a reply, “That place is where the exchange of magical techniques and cultivation methods is being held, as long as you have a black and white jade card, you can go there to exchange cultivation methods and cultivation pointers.”
Ning Cheng finally understood that the entrance area for the cultivators to exchange magical techniques and cultivation methods was at that corner of the Main Hall.
“Hey, is that the Blood River Red Lotus?” One of the cultivators who had just come out couldn’t help but speak out aloud on seeing Ning Cheng’s Blood River Red Lotus.
Ning Cheng felt a bit surprised as he looked in the direction of the voice. His gaze flicked from one face to another, before it finally rested on the face of an extremely cold looking Daoist Priestess. The Daoist Priestess was also staring back at him at the same time, along with a slight surprise that flashed past the eyes of this Daoist Priestess.
It once again turned out to be another extremely beautiful looking female cultivator, but this one was wearing the robes of a Daoist Priestess. Her beauty was in no way inferior to the yellow robed woman who he had asked out for a coffee a few moments ago, and had peerlessly delicate features. With a pair of eyes that sparkled as bright as clear waters, coupled with her snow white robe, it made people think that this woman would simply fly into the heavens the very next moment.
Not only did her long hair, which was arranged in pleat, not cause the slightest damage to her temperament, but it also served as a contrast to enhance the snowy white skin of her neck. She was unexpectedly wearing a pair of thin yet common cotton bottomed shoes on her feet, causing her to resemble a homely little girl from next door one moment, while transforming into an unattainable fairy in the next moment. Her charm was such that every time a person gazed at her, they would be able to feel different things each time. Perhaps only the words ‘heavenly beauty’ could be used to describe her.
What was even more peculiar was that she was carrying a sword on her back. Ordinary cultivators would simply store their magical weapons inside their rings, and other than a few people, who had a strong enough background, would swagger around with their magical weapons in full display, however this kind of situation was simply rarely seen.
Although this beautiful looking Daoist Priestess was carrying a sword, but it wasn’t even a little bit disharmonious to her image, rather it served to add an unspeakable flavour to her. However, people like this white robed Daoist Priestess, were also quite rare among rarities.
Ning Cheng frowned on seeing her. He felt that he had seen this white robed female cultivator somewhere before. As he raked his mind to think about it, he suddenly thought about the people he had ended up saving from that old fogey’s ice house in the ancient immortal cave. This female cultivator was also among them. No wonder the other party had a trace of surprise flash past their eyes when they looked at each other; it seems that the other party had already recognized him.
However, Ning Cheng did not care about it much, since he was already recognized by the other party there was nothing that he could do about it. He still held up the Blood River Red Lotus in his hand and spoke, “If there is no Soul Condensing Pill, then I would also not be exchanging it……”
“Wait, I have a Soul Condensing Pill……” This white robed Daoist Priestess suddenly took out a jade bottle and immediately handed it to Ning Cheng before speaking.
Ning Cheng also took the jade bottle and took a peek inside it. He found that it not only contained a Soul Condensing Pill, but it was also a top quality Soul Condensing Pill. Although Ning Cheng himself rarely refined anything other than top quality pills, however he was aware that the attainments that he had in the field of pills was a bit lacking. It can only be blamed on his shortcomings that he was unable to refine the Soul Condensing Pill.
“Yes, it really is a Soul Condensing Pill. However, it is just that my qualifications are a bit too poor, as such just a single pill might not work. Since I
have a pair of Blood River Red Lotus, then at least I should exchange it for two Soul Condensing Pills.”
As Ning Cheng’s words came out, it immediately caused the cultivators inside the Main Hall to break into a cacophony of discussions. Although the Blood River Red Lotus was something precious, however the pair of Blood River Red Lotuses were not that precious enough to be exchanged for two Soul Condensing Pills. Not to mention two, even if it was exchanged for a single Soul Condensing Pill of that quality, it could be considered as obtaining a sizable profit.
Moreover there were also a lot of people here who seemed to know the identity of this Daoist Priestess, and were also aware that it was the most difficult to bargain with the people from her academy, let alone her who was the Severing Emotions Dao Sect’s True Inheriting Disciple. Wanting to rip off a True Inhering Disciple from this academy was simply akin to not knowing the difference between living and dying…
But the surrounding cultivators soon gave out a sigh, this Profound Core 8th Level Cultivator dared to openly flirt with the disciple of the Floating Snow Palace, while not even taking the disciple from the Red Star Sword Faction seriously, as such why should he act in polite manner towards the disciples of the Severing Emotions Dao Sect? He was simply a lunatic. All of them were somewhat looking forward to how this Severing Emotions Dao Sect’s True Inheriting Disciple would deal with this lunatic.
But what made the surrounding people even more surprised was the following words of the Daoist Priestess, “I only have a single Soul Condensing Pill with me, why don’t you give me just a single stalk of the Blood River Red Lotus?”
Ning Cheng also did not find her request strange, for this female cultivator to speak in such manner, it can only be said that she was somewhat grateful for that time. Whatever the outcome, he had truly ended up saving their small lives, as such even if he asked for a few more pills suitable for cultivation in the Soul Essence Realm; it would not be too excessive, right?
Thinking that Ning Cheng put away the jade bottle that he received from the other party, before he picked up the pair of Blood River Red Lotus only to separate a stalk from it before he handed it to her, “It’s truly a pity, this Blood River Red Lotus is something that is found in a pair, yet had to be abruptly separated at this moment. Well, you can keep it; just compensating me with some pills suitable for cultivation in the Soul Essence Realm is also fine by me. Alas, who let me be so soft-hearted?”

The surrounding people couldn’t help but gawk at Ning Cheng, although they had seen their share of shameless people, but they had never seen someone as shameless as him. A Soul Condensing Pill for a strand of Blood River Red Lotus, it can already be considered as a huge profit, yet this person even dared to ask for pills suitable for cultivation in the Soul Essence Realm? This was definitely not the problem of having a thick skin, but rather flowing into the rhythm of shamelessness.
Ning Cheng himself felt the temperature of his face rise up by a few notches because of the embarrassment he was feeling, even though he knew that this Daoist Priestess in front of him would definitely give him some pills if he asked, but he also became aware that he should not be so pushing. At the same time, Ning Cheng also knew that since he was pushing hard for the Daoist Priestess to fork out a few more pills, as such he decided to immediately leave this place once he got the pills. He would then immediately go out to look for a suitable place to advance to the Soul Essence Realm. He was aware that he couldn’t be sloppy with this kind of thing.
If he had to rely on just himself to slowly move around in order to purchase the pills that he needed, then the time delay that he would have to experience would simply be too long. As for what would transpire here, he did not care much about it. It was not that he was afraid of how the Red Star Sword Faction would try to deal with him, as he could always go back to the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect to seek asylum. However, he really did not want to waste time on such a boring and monotonous endeavour. Once his cultivation reached a high point, then all of these things would be akin to floating clouds.
Besides, in this place he had already experienced enough of affairs similar to biting the hand that feeds them, for Ning Cheng it was already more than enough. Although he had asked the Daoist Priestess for a few pills for cultivation in the Soul Essence Realm, he did not feel too much of a psychological burden, it was just that he was not used to this kind of a shameless practice.
“Ok, I have a bottle of Youthful Spirit Pills, and can also give it to you.” This one sentence almost made the people staring to become slack jawed while not believing the words they were hearing.
This white robed Daoist Priestess actually agreed to Ning Cheng,
they thought as they looked at her taking out a jade bottle and handing it to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng also was a bit sceptic as to how this thing turned out to be so simple, he was originally trying to hold an attitude, if it really did not turn in his favour, then he would simply forget about it. However, he still accepted and put away the goods, before he immediately turned around to walk away.
At this moment, even the rest of the cultivators present in the Exchange Hall felt that there was something wrong, whether it was the True Inheriting Disciple of the Floating Snow Palace, or the True Inheriting Disciple of the Severing Emotions Dao Sect, both of them were showing an extreme amount of patience over this small Profound Core 8th Level Cultivator.
“This Senior Apprentice Sister, thank you. I hope that you remain young forever and live till the age of a hundred. I will be taking my leave now, if there is a chance in the future then we will definitely meet up.” Ning Cheng had already put away the pills, turned away, and immediately started walking away with a polite goodbye without being too wordy about it.
The white robed Daoist Priestess suddenly gave a smile and spoke, “I am a cultivator at the Great Circle of the Soul Essence Realm, and just a step further would allow me to enter the Soul Sculpting Realm, as such I would definitely have more than a hundred years to live, so when you wished for me to live till the age of hundred, were you really expressing your good wishes for me or were you speaking sarcastically to me?”
Ning Cheng suddenly found himself to be at a loss for words, he did not expect that the Daoist Priestess would cause him to choke on his own words. He had come from the Earth, and it was something of a habitual ritual, to wish others to remain young forever and live to the age of a hundred, it was actually a customary form of praise back there. However, in this place, staying young forever was too simple, and as for living to the age of hundred before falling was something considered to be as dying young.
“Well, then I wish that you live long till a million years, good bye……” Ning Cheng simply could not wait to get out of this place.
“Do you think that we can go out to drink coffee now?” Waiting for Ning Cheng, that beautiful looking yellow robed female cultivator spoke in a serious manner, as she unexpectedly once again appeared in front of Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng couldn’t help but scratch his head as he spoke, “Young lady, there are a few urgent things that require my attention today. Why don’t we go out to drink coffee at a later time? I’ll treat you to everything at that time, white spirits, wine, rice vinegar, soy sauce, cola, sprite, whatever you want, but not today, I will be taking my leave now…….”
“You are afraid that the people from the Red Star Sword Faction would come to find you, so you want to find a suitable place to advance to the Soul Essence Realm, don’t you?” This yellow robed female cultivator suddenly spoke out.
“Hey, how did you realize all that? It turns out that you are also quite smart. I have just been mortally threatened, and it indeed has caused me
to be somewhat worried, so I want to find a place to improve my own cultivation.” Ning Cheng gave out a helpless sort of cry, and spilled out a few words.
He truly wanted to find a suitable place to advance to the Soul Essence Realm, but with the Red Star Sword Faction openly declaring their intentions to deal with him, it would be quite a difficult feat to accomplish. However if he used his Twin Wings and True Brahma Buddha Fire Wheel, even Crucible Transformation Cultivators might not necessarily be able to catch up with him.
The yellow robed female cultivator simply spoke in an indifferent manner, “It would simply be a useless endeavour for you, especially since there are a lot of people here that are eyeing you. Unless you have some good means, trying to escape from this place would be very difficult. However if you go out with me for a coffee, these things would not matter anymore.”
Ning Cheng couldn’t help but feel a bit disdainful in regards to her words,
no matter how good the tools there are, it would also be very difficult to escape?
He did not believe that Crucible Transformation Cultivators could enter the Chaotic Star Space.
“If it was not because of a woman like you, wouldn’t I have been able to exit peacefully? Today, I just want to go out, unfortunately I do not want to go out to drink coffee with you, so what are you going to do about it?” Ning Cheng once again replied in a disdainful voice.
This woman was together with that Jiang Jun who he had already classified as nothing short of being a societal dreg, combined with how she always spoke as if nothing had happened, it caused Ning Cheng to feel very unhappy.
