The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

by Demon Translations

  Ning Cheng knew that if one wanted to look for the points of intersection of the positional planes and interfaces, one could go to the Ancient Desolace Abandoned Land, which was a location supposedly filled with such areas. Either that or one could go to the Eternal Night Single File Gorge, which he had passed through previously, and enter the Eternal Night Domain’s void, a void area that supposedly connected many positional planes.

  After listening to the blue-robed female cultivator’s demands, the red-faced male cultivator immediately took out a jade strip and said, “Dao Friend Ye, I have a jade strip here, which records the four Grand Starry Skies and most of the possible intersections between the various interfaces and positional planes around the Mysterious Yellow Starland.”

  The blue-robed female cultivator shook her head and calmly replied, “One jade strip wouldn’t be enough for it.”

  Everyone already knew that a single jade strip would not be enough for what she offered. Not to mention a jade strip, even if it were a jade strip plus the Sifting Ferry Grass, it would not be even remotely enough to exchange for a high-grade Spirit Artefact. However, no one here could take out even a strand of Sifting Ferry Grass.

  Shui Guangxi suddenly spoke up, “Dao Friend Ye, the positional jade strip would be something easy to obtain, but the Sifting Ferry Grass would be much more difficult. Although I can get a strand of the Sifting Ferry Grass, Dao Friend Ye would have to wait for a while.”

  The red-faced male cultivator begrudgingly put away the jade strip. Although Shui Guangxi didn’t explicitly say that his jade strip was worthless, he had already indicated to this woman surnamed Ye that she could obtain this kind of jade strip at any time and at anywhere. But if she wanted the Sifting Ferry Grass, she can only come to find him, Shui Guangxi.

  Ning Cheng, however, did not believe Shui Guangxi at all. He had experienced such things many times in the past. Since Shui Guangxi said those words, then Shui Guangxi probably knew that this female cultivator’s cultivation was weakening, which was why she pressed for the Sifting Ferry Grass with this much urgency. The reason he asked for this female cultivator to wait was just to weaken her cultivation to a certain extent before making a move.

  “How long would it take?” The blue-robed female cultivator had a calm expression as if utterly oblivious to Shui Guangxi’s thoughts.

  Shui Guangxi replied, “I can’t give an answer to that immediately. I’ll have to send out a lot of messages. But I can give you a reply by tomorrow. However, if my judgement is correct, it would take at least a month to obtain it.”

  Ning Cheng sneered; a month would turn the dishes cold. Ning Cheng did not believe that this blue-robed female cultivator would agree to this long of a delay.

  The blue-robed female cultivator pondered over it for a moment and said, “In that case, I’ll be imposing on you for today and wait till tomorrow.”

  Since Shui Guangxi was the host here and had taken the initiative to delay the exchange with the blue-robed female cultivator, no one else spoke at this moment, even if they coveted the high-grade flight-type Spirit Artefact.

  The item exchange went on, and despite the high-grade Spirit Artefact taken off the exchange temporarily, the dialogue still maintained a good standard.

  From the beginning to the end, Ning Cheng did not put up anything for exchange, nor did he exchange anything with others. Even if he saw a few good things in between, he did not buy them. However, Duan Gantai, as always, showed off his wealth and steadily acquired a variety of treasures. As it reached the end, some of the cultivators in the Eternal Realm started paying attention to them. It got to the point that many people even started paying attention to Ning Cheng, who didn’t do anything.

  The item exchange ended a few hours later and a Heaven Seated Steward from the Shui Clan, with a bunch of cultivators who wanted to marry Shui Wuchang, made their way to the private residence.

  As for the blue-robed female cultivator and Tian Muwan, someone else led them away to rest. Tian Muwan tried to talk with Ning Cheng several times, but finally stopped herself and left with the blue-robed female cultivator.

  As for Ning Cheng, who had no chance of going to the private residence, an ordinary Shui Clan member took him to a regular room to rest.

  ……

  Upon arrival in the room, Ning Cheng immediately activated the restrictions inside. Tian Muwan had that blue-robed female cultivator, who looked like an expert, by her side. Therefore, he naturally did not have to be too concerned about her. His main concern right now was Shui Wuchang. He was not worried about who Shui Wuchang would choose as her husband, but about how he could get the white Perpetual Moon Time Key with her. Only by obtaining the key from Shui Wuchang, could he and Duan Gantai occupy the upper hand.

  Although he had left a Spiritual Consciousness Imprint under Shui Wuchang’s finger, he had no intention of using it right away. Currently, there were numerous powerhouses in the Shui Clan. If even one of them found out about it, it would end up bad for him. Although they might not be able to take his life, it would be more than enough to force him to part ways with the Perpetual Moon Time Key.

  Moreover, Ning Cheng didn’t know if he could use the Spiritual Consciousness Imprint to break open the restrictions covering Shui Wuchang’s storage ring and peek inside with this huge of a distance. It was only a conjecture at this point, and he wasn’t entirely sure if he could successfully execute it.

  Fortunately, Shui Wuchang’s cultivation could not compare to him. While he was not only proficient in a variety of array formations and restrictions, but he could also use his Spiritual Consciousness to attack.

  Therefore, to make his plan a success, Ning Cheng repeatedly experimented with a variety of things in his own room. As two hours passed by, and just when Ning Cheng had started to feel sure about the most suitable approach, he suddenly sensed his Spiritual Consciousness Imprint move towards him.

  He had left a Spiritual Consciousness Imprint on Shui Wuchang, and now this Spiritual Consciousness Imprint gradually moved closer to him, which meant Shui Wuchang moving towards him.

  Ning Cheng frowned and stood up. Supposedly, Shui Wuchang should still be picking her husband from the potential candidates. How come she came here? Did Shui Wuchang find his Spiritual Consciousness Imprint? If that were the case, Shui Wuchang would not come here alone.

  A dozen meters away from Ning Cheng’s room, Shui Wuchang suddenly stopped. She bit her lip, seemingly hesitant to proceed.

  Ning Cheng immediately felt his heart skip a beat. He immediately took out a few raw materials and started to refine a fake Perpetual Moon Time Key with the quickest possible speed. Ning Cheng did not bother about the grade; instead, he continued to lay down all the restrictions he knew so that no one could detect that it might be a fake with his or her Spiritual Consciousness.

  He had just finished refining the Perpetual Moon Time Key when Ning Cheng felt the restriction on the door tremble. Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness swept out but found only Shui Wuchang standing alone.

  “Senior Apprentice Sister Shui….” After waiting for almost a dozen breaths, Ning Cheng opened the restriction and called out with a respectful voice.

  Shui Wuchang walked into Ning Cheng’s room and, with a backhanded motion, helped Ning Cheng activate the restriction over the door once again, and look at Ning Cheng in a daze.

  “Senior Apprentice Sister Shui, you….” Ning Cheng truly felt confused. He could not understand why Shui Wuchang came here and looked at him in such a manner.

  Shui Wuchang suddenly smiled, “Big Brother Ning, my father has already decided things for me. In a few days, Big Brother Duan will be my Dao Companion for life.”

  Ning Cheng couldn’t help bu
t think to himself that this Duan Gantai really had some skills to his name. Despite the looks, he still managed to gain Shui Caiqiao’s favour.

  “Senior Apprentice Sister Shui and our family’s Young Master Duan are a perfect match. Congratulations to Senior Apprentice Sister Shui.” Ning Cheng quickly cupped his fists and congratulated her.

  Shui Wuchang gave out a sigh, as a trace of loneliness flashed past her eyes. However, she did not speak.

  Ning Cheng could only follow in silence. He truly couldn’t figure out Shui Wuchang’s intent. Ning Cheng absolutely did not believe that Shui Wuchang would ‘fall in love’ with him at first sight and came here to secretly confess to him. Ning Cheng understood he was not an earth-shatteringly handsome man, or someone with a unique disposition within the heaven and earth, that women would be dying to throw themselves at him.

  After a long time, Shui Wuchang finally spoke up, “My father invited Big Brother Duan to chat. Big Brother Ning…… have you followed Big Brother Duan for a long time? Can you tell me something about him?”

  Ning Cheng felt a little speechless at this. Did she come here to inquire about Duan Gantai’s feet? However, he honestly knew nothing much about this fellow.

  “Senior Apprentice Sister Shui, Elder Brother Duan is very talented and quite generous with his wealth… I’m willing to follow Elder Brother Duan…”

  Shui Wuchang suddenly interrupted Ning Cheng, “Big Brother Ning, but the person I like is not him….”

  “Ah…” Ning Cheng felt surprised and almost blurted out in reflex ‘if you don’t like Duan Gantai, why come to find me?’

  Shui Wuchang licked her lips and took out a wrist band and stuffed it in Ning Cheng hands. She then gently grabbed Ning Cheng’s hand and spoke, “Big Brother Ning, this is for you. I hope you won’t forget me.”

  Then, Shui Wuchang suddenly hugged Ning Cheng and kissed Ning Cheng on his face.

  Ning Cheng didn’t wait for Shui Wuchang to leave and grabbed Shui Wuchang waist and pulled her back. A soft and feminine scent hit him, which almost caused Ning Cheng’s heart to skip a beat.

  However, Ning Cheng quickly sobered up and even tightened his grip on the struggling Shui Wuchang, “Senior Apprentice Sister Wuchang, I finally understand what it means to fall in love at first sight……”

  If it weren’t for Shui Wuchang giving her the wrist band and taking the initiative to kiss him, Ning Cheng wouldn’t have done such a thing. Shui Wuchang did not know that Ning Cheng not only cultivated in a spiritual consciousness cultivation method but also possessed a wide range of knowledge. Within the starry sky, only a handful of cultivators would be able to recognise a Bodhi Stone, and Ning Cheng was one of them.

  Bodhi Stone and Lifting Stone were two of the weirdest raw materials found in nature and almost impossible to find. If these two items were on their own, nothing would happen, and everyone would continue with what they were doing. However, if a Bodhi Stone and a Lifting Stone came within ten meters of each other, it would quickly give birth to a formless and odourless Bodhi Heart Poison. This poison would force people to lose consciousness for a short period. Even if one had an Eternal Cultivation, there would be no exception. Moreover, after one sobered up, they wouldn’t even have any recollection of losing consciousness.

  The band that Shui Wuchang gave him contained a Bodhi Stone. Although disguised as a product of artefact crafting, it still could not avoid Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness.

  Since a Bodhi Stone came to him, Ning Cheng felt almost sure that Duan Gantai received something with a Lifting Stone.

  If Ning Cheng guessed correctly, these people would eventually arrange for a brief meeting between Ning Cheng and Duan Gantai. Once the two of them lost consciousness, they would then immediately go through their storage rings.

  Duan Gantai only had a Heaven Seated Cultivation, yet the Shui Clan decided to use such a method to force Duan Gantai to lose consciousness instead of forcing Duan Gantai to hand over the things they wanted. From this, Ning Cheng also understood that Duan Gantai had an unusual background. At the very least the Shui Clan knew that Duan Gantai had an extraordinary backing and did not dare to kill him.

  However, Ning Cheng did not feel too concerned about such antics. Even if he did not know about it, he still would have a method to deal with it even if caught unaware. Now that he knew about the Bodhi Heart Poison, it would be impossible to trap him.

  “Big Brother Ning, don’t be like this. I have to leave before someone comes over….”

  Shui Wuchang struggled, but Ning Cheng still clung to Shui Wuchang.

  Dropping by to visit and gifting him such things, it would truly be strange if he let her leave.

  Ning Cheng had already put his Spiritual Consciousness Imprint on Shui Wuchang’s storage ring. Now that Shui Wuchang was in his arms, he was able to speed things up even more.

  In just a few breaths, Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness opened the restrictions covering Shui Wuchang’s storage ring and peeked inside.

  “Boom….” The restrictions over Ning Cheng’s room burst open, and two women appeared at the door to his room. Shui Wuchang took the opportunity to break away from Ning Cheng’s arms before speaking to Ning Cheng with a red face, “Big Brother Ning, I’ll leave first….”

  After that, she hurriedly walked past the two female cultivators standing at the door and quickly disappeared.

  At the door stood Tian Muwan and the blue-robed female cultivator. Not to mention about the Tier 3 Celestial Array and restrictions that Ning Cheng had put up, even if Ning Cheng had set up Grade 6 Celestial River Restrictions, it would just be a waste of effort.

  “You … are you okay….” After a short pause, Tian Muwan asked a question.

  The blue-robed female cultivator showed a cold smile and spoke, “Did you get a look at his passionate moves just now, that half-wolfish look? Should say that us coming here definitely interrupted a good thing for him.”

  “Come in and have a seat. We haven’t seen each other for a long time.” Ning Cheng said with a calm smile while lamenting in his heart that Tian Muwan had changed too much.

  At first, because of a misunderstanding, she did not hesitate to abandon him and not even look at him. And now that she saw him and Shui Wuchang hugging each other, she did not show the slightest fluctuation. Maybe she had already started to regard him as an ordinary friend, so she didn’t care much about what happened a moment ago.

  Ning Cheng also knew in his heart that there was no possibility between him and Tian Muwan. Not to say about anything else, but because of Luofei and Qionghua. With Tian Muwan’s independent personality, she would never even think of any compromise.

  Tian Muwan shook her head, “No, I have to go. Take care of yourself.”

  Seeing Tian Muwan and the blue-robed female cultivator turning to leave, Ning Cheng suddenly spoke up, “Senior Apprentice Sister Ye, maybe it might be because I talk too much, but Shui Clan knows for sure that the reason you seek the Sifting Ferry Grass is because of your suppressed Spiritual Consciousness and your continually falling cultivation. They probably don’t have the Sifting Ferry Grass nor do they have any plans to get it, but they definitely want to stall you.”

  The blue-robed female cultivator gave a cold snort, “Just take care of yourself. Don’t ask Muwan to let me save you. Come on, Muwan, you don’t have to talk to such people.”

  Looking at the blue-robed female cultivator pull Tian Muwan and turn around, Ning Cheng just showed a slight smile. He did not care about re-arranging the restrictions as his Spiritual Consciousness swept into his storage ring.

  However, his expressions changed dramatically. The Perpetual Moon Time Key he had just exchanged from Shui Wuchang’s storage ring had disappeared. Not only was the Perpetual Moon Time Key gone, but the million Perpetual Moon Pills inside the storage ring had also gone missing.

  Suddenly, cold sweat started streaming down Ning Cheng’s back. He had already advanced to the Heaven Seated Realm, and yet
someone still managed to quietly take away the things inside his storage ring. What kind of horrifying cultivation was this? With this level of cultivation, if this person wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as slaughtering chickens.

  Shui Wuchang did not have such skills, and it was also impossible for Tian Muwan. The only possibility left was the blue-robed female cultivator surnamed Ye.

  Ning Cheng took in a deep breath. Fortunately, he had put all his valuable stuff in the True Spirit World. Before entering the Mysterious Yellow Starland, he put the True Spirit World into the Mysterious Yellow Bead; otherwise, he would have suffered significant losses right now.

  No wonder the blue-robed female cultivator showed no fear. With this level of cultivation, whether it was Shui Guangxi or the others, they simply couldn’t get into her eyes.

  However, he can’t let the white Perpetual Moon Time Key stay with the blue-robed female cultivator; otherwise, all his efforts and hard work would be in vain.

  Thinking till here, Ning Cheng was about to leave the room to find the blue-robed female cultivator when a somewhat drunk Duan Gantai walked to his door.

  Ning Cheng pretended to open the restriction to open the door and Duan Gantai immediately stumbled in. Ning Cheng knew Duan Gantai’s cautiousness and thus did not believe that Duan Gantai would get himself drunk in this place.

  Duan Gantai had just stumbled in and Ning Cheng had also just given out a sigh when he crashed onto the couch while still mumbling some incoherent words.

  Ning Cheng’s gaze fell onto Duan Gantai’s hands, and just as he guessed, Duan Gantai had another ring over his finger. However, this ring was not a storage ring but a ring refined from a Lifting Stone.

  After only half an incense stick of time, the invisible aura from the Bodhi Stone and the Lifting Stone merged and quickly transformed into Bodhi Heart Poison. Ning Cheng promptly sealed his body and leaned back on a chair before closing his eyes.
