Sha Wuming. More accurately, it was Ning Wuming now.
Sha Wuming was the common name of the illegitimate children in the South Sea.
It meant that this illegitimate child was very lowly. He was like sand on the ground that was stepped on by everyone.
Wuming naturally meant that he didn't have a name.
Of course.
When Yang Dingtian pretended to be the successor of the Hidden Sect, he was also named Wuming.
However, when it came to the successor of the Hidden Sect, the name Wuming seemed very high-end and mysterious.
Currently, Sha Wuming of the South Sea Ning Clan had officially returned to the clan and changed his name to Ning Wuming.
In the meeting hall of Cloud Sky City, Yang Dingtian saw this person.
To be honest, this person was beyond Yang Dingtian's imagination.
This person didn't look despicable at all. Instead, he looked elegant and indifferent. Even compared to Ning Liu, he looked more like a noble young master.
He might not be as handsome as Ning Liu, but he might be more charming than Ning Liu.
This was because his long and bright eyes were very focused and serious at all times. Especially his eyebrows, they looked as if they were really cut out by a knife. They were even more exquisite than a woman's eyebrows.
When Yang Dingtian entered, he was talking to Madam Ximen. That gaze and that expression seemed to be full of admiration and admiration for Madam Ximen. However, he didn't have any intention to profane her.
This kind of man was simply a natural lecher. He was romantic but not vulgar.
Yang Dingtian went forward and knelt down in front of Madam Ximen. "Greetings, mother-in-law."
"Little Tian, you're back."
Madam Ximen went forward and helped Yang Dingtian up. She didn't avoid suspicion and pulled Yang Dingtian's hand. She pointed at Ning Wuming and said, "Little Tian, let me introduce you. This is the young master of the South Sea Ning Clan, the fiancé of Qin Qiqi from the Northwest Qin City, Ning Wuming."
Ning Wuming quickly went forward and bowed in front of Yang Dingtian. "Little Brother Ning Wuming greets brother-in-law."
Instantly, Yang Dingtian came back to his senses.
That's right. Qin Qiqi was Jiaojiao's younger sister. Therefore, Sha Wuming (Ning Wuming) called Yang Dingtian brother-in-law.
"Greetings, Young Master Ning."
Yang Dingtian returned the greeting. "Your Ning Clan is tens of thousands of miles away. How could you have the time to visit my Cloud Heaven City?"
"Speaking of which, I feel really guilty. A few months ago, Qiqi and I met by chance in the Southwest Continent. It was love at first sight, and we pledged our lives to each other.
She had matters to attend to in the Southwest and couldn't leave, so I officially went to the Northwest Qin City to propose marriage.
In the end, when I arrived at Qin City, I found out that Senior Martial Brother Yang and Sister Jiao had gotten married. When I rushed to Qin City, the two of you had already left.
Therefore, after staying in Qin City for a few days, I came to Cloud Sky City to visit brother-in-law and present my wedding gift. "
"Young Master Ning's gift is unimaginably precious." Madam Ximen said beside Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian: "Thank you so much. Have you seen Jiaojiao?"
"Not yet!" Ning Wuming said.
"That's great. I'll hold a small banquet at noon. Jiaojiao and I will treat you together," Yang Dingtian said.
"Thank you, brother-in-law. Sorry for disturbing you."
…
At noon, Yang Dingtian, Madam Ximen, Yanyan, and Jiaojiao accompanied Ning Wuming for lunch.
Qin Susu and Mu Lianyi waited on the side.
When Yang Dingtian went to call Jiaojiao, she ignored him and said that she didn't want to come. In the end, she still came.
After she came, she only cared about picking and choosing the dishes on the table and ignored Ning Wuming, her future brother-in-law.
As for Yanyan, her mind was completely focused on the baby in the small valley, so she was completely absent-minded at the dining table.
Although they were eating at the same table, they still strictly separated the dishes.
The chopsticks and spoons used to pick the food were completely separated from the chopsticks and spoons used to eat the food. Therefore, there was no indirect contact.
Ning Wuming seemed to be very cultured. His every move was much more noble than Yang Dingtian's.
Yang Dingtian often forgot about it and used his own chopsticks to pick the food.
"Young Lord Ning, I heard that your Ning Clan wants my husband's Yin Yang Reincarnation Crystal?" Qin Jiaojiao suddenly said, "Did you come this time to ask my husband for it?"
When she said this, Yang Dingtian was slightly startled.
When Ning Wuming heard this, he immediately put down his jade chopsticks and said, "Big Sister, you must be joking. Previously, the Ning Clan of the South Sea was competing for the Yin Yang Reincarnation Crystal.
Because at that time, I also didn't become Qin Cheng's son-in-law.
But now, City Lord Yang and I have become in-laws. How can I ask for the Yin Yang Reincarnation Crystal? I came today to make up for my rudeness of not being able to attend big sister and brother-in-law's wedding. "
Qin Jiaojiao was 23 years old this year. Among all of Qin Wanchou's daughters, she wasn't the oldest and could only be ranked third.
However, Qin Wanchou only had three legitimate daughters.
In a wealthy clan like Qin Cheng, legitimate daughters were the eldest. Therefore, Qin Qiqi, who was also a legitimate daughter, addressed Qin Jiaojiao as big sister.
"It's best if you're not here for the Yin Yang Reincarnation Crystal," Qin Jiaojiao said.
Qin Jiaojiao said, then ignored Ning Wuming and ordered Qin Susu to pick up this dish for her.
In any case, she would let Qin Susu snatch whatever food Yanyan liked.
Mu Lianyi couldn't stand it and helped Yanyan snatch the food. In the end, the table was filled with smoke.
Madam Ximen acted as if she didn't see anything. Yang Dingtian could only pretend that he didn't see anything. In any case, the two of them didn't quarrel in front of outsiders.
…
After the meal, Yang Dingtian and Ning Wuming were alone.
"Young Lord Ning, what's the matter now? You can speak now," Yang Dingtian said.
"I'm fine. I'm just here to pass on a few words for Qiqi," Ning Wuming said.
"Speak," Yang Dingtian said.
"Duan Ruyan has returned to the Sky Phoenix Pavilion in the Southwest Mainland. Leng Yanmei has been removed from the position of Sky Phoenix Pavilion Master. Her cultivation has been crippled and she has been locked in the dungeon," Ning Wuming said. "Then, Sky Phoenix Pavilion has returned to its conservative and isolated strategy.
Thus, Qiqi's achievements in the Southwest Mainland have been mostly destroyed. "
"Mm." Yang Dingtian didn't deny it.
"Qiqi knows that all of this is your doing, brother-in-law," Ning Wuming said. "Of course, she's very willing to understand you.
You did this because you had no choice but to compromise. You had no choice but to form an alliance with Qin Huaiyu to protect Cloud Sky City. In fact, you and Qin Huaiyu have a deep hatred.
She said that she admires your courage and magnanimity. "
Yang Dingtian said, "Then thank her for me."
"Also, Qiqi has something that she needs your help with," Ning Wuming said.
"If you're willing to help, then she will never do anything to Cloud Sky City and will give you an extremely precious gift."
"What is it?
You need my help? "Yang Dingtian asked.
"Qiqi knows that brother-in-law, you've always wanted to build a Celestial Chi Purification Formation.
Although I still don't believe that Cloud Sky City can build such a formation, I don't dare to doubt your ability to create miracles. "
Ning Wuming didn't directly answer Yang Dingtian's question. Instead, he said, "Now, you've already obtained the Yin Yang Samsara Crystal.
That's right, the Yin Yang Samsara Crystal is the most important item in the Celestial Chi Formation, but it's not the most difficult item. "
"That's right, the most difficult item is the Chaos Demonic Turbidity!" Yang Dingtian said.
A Celestial Chi Purification Formation required hundreds to thousands of items.
But most importantly, it required three items.
The first item was the extremely rare Yin Yang Samsara Crystal. Its function was to turn any Celestial Chi in the world, whether it was Yang or Yin, whether it was Fire, Ice, Wind, etc., into Celestial Chi with no attributes.
This item either didn't exist or would appear immediately once it was dug out.
Hence, among these three items, the Yin Yang Samsara Crystal was the most precious, rare, and rare item.
The second item was the massive amount of Yin Yang Magnetic Crystals.
The function of the Magnetic Crystals was to condense all the Celestial Chi within a radius of tens to hundreds of miles into a narrow space.
The Magnetic Crystals were the easiest to obtain. As long as one had money and power, they would definitely be able to obtain them.
However, they had to be replaced every three years. Hence, the amount of money required was astronomical.
Unless one's wealth was tens of times greater than Cloud Sky City's, it was impossible to do so.
The third item was the Chaos Demonic Turbidity.
Its only function was to devour the turbidity in Celestial Chi energy.
The Chaos Demonic Turbidity was like a life form, but also like a type of energy.
Its only hobby was to devour turbidity.
Hence, it could purify Celestial Chi energy. Furthermore, it could evolve 99.9% of the Celestial Chi energy.
The Chaos Demonic Turbidity was also a type of energy crystal.
It was contained in almost any material in this world. Hence, it wasn't rare.
Especially in magma, it contained rich Yang Chaotic Demonic Turbidity.
However …
Roughly one hundred million catties of magma was needed to refine a Chaos Demonic Turbidity the size of a frog.
And a Celestial Chi Purification Formation required a Chaos Demonic Turbidity the size of a brain.
Hence, one would need to refine a few billion catties or tens of billions of catties of magma.
Of course, magma was abundant in the Northwest Mainland and could be obtained at will.
However …
A high-level alchemist could refine about fifty thousand catties of Chaos Demonic Turbidity in magma without doing anything for a year.
In other words, if a high-level alchemist were to refine enough Chaos Demonic Turbidity for a Celestial Chi Purification Formation, it would take tens of thousands of years.
However, there were no more than three or four capable alchemists in Cloud Sky City at this time.
If a high-level alchemist was required, then there wasn't a single one.
This was because all the alchemists in the Northwest Mainland were attracted to the Northwest Qin City.
Where did the Chaos Demonic Turbidity in the Northwest Qin City come from?
It was very simple. It took hundreds of high-level alchemists and thousands of ordinary alchemists several decades to refine enough Chaos Demonic Turbidity.
This reminded Yang Dingtian of the Earth era. The principle of manufacturing nuclear weapons wasn't difficult.
Refining uranium wasn't a mystery purely in terms of technology.
However, a country had to do its best, mobilize tens of thousands of people, and spend many years to refine a small piece of uranium.
This Chaos Demonic Turbidity was similar to the uranium used to make nuclear weapons on Earth.
It wasn't rare, but it required an astronomical amount of manpower and resources.
Moreover, it wasn't for sale. Even if it was, no one would be able to afford it.
According to Yang Dingtian's estimation, there were no more than three families that had Chaos Demonic Turbidity on hand.
The first was the North's World Society.
This overlord of the north had a territory that spanned thousands of miles and had dominated for hundreds of years. The Chaos Demonic Turbidity must have been refined long ago and was just waiting for the Yin Yang Reincarnation Crystal.
The second family was the Earth Fissure City and the Cloud Sky Pavilion. These two families were as powerful as the World Society and were also century-old families. They must have prepared the Chaos Demonic Turbidity long ago.
The third family was the South Sea Ning Clan.
The South Sea Ning Clan was isolated and mysterious.
They weren't part of the Three Sects, Nine Clans, and Twenty-Seven Branches at all. They were known to be the overlord of the sea, but the closest place to the mainland was tens of thousands of miles away. They had never interacted with the mainland.
Therefore, no one knew whether they had Chaos Demonic Turbidity or not.
However, it could be seen from their competition for the Yin Yang Reincarnation Crystal that they did have Chaos Demonic Turbidity.
Moreover, the Chaos Demonic Turbidity that Qin Qiqi and Yang Dingtian used to trade was probably from the South Sea Ning Clan.
…
There were three key items to build the Celestial Chi Condensation Array: the Yin Yang Reincarnation Crystal, the Yin Yang Magnetic Crystal, and the Chaos Demonic Turbidity.
Yang Dingtian already had the Yin Yang Reincarnation Crystal.
The rich lady Qin Mengli was continuously transporting magnetic crystals over.
Yang Dingtian really didn't have Chaos Demonic Turbidity.
Moreover, it was impossible for Cloud Sky City to have it.
Of course, there was another way, which was to snatch it from the World Society, Earth Fissure City, or Cloud Sky Pavilion.
However, it seemed that this was the same as seeking death.
"Is the Chaos Demonic Turbidity in your hands yin or yang?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Yin," Ning Wuming replied.
That's right. The Celestial Chi Condensation Purification Array needed a pair of Chaos Demonic Turbidity.
One yin and one yang. One was responsible for devouring the Yang Demonic Turbidity, while the other was responsible for devouring the Yin Demonic Turbidity.
"Then what do you need me to do?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Between Qin Qiqi and Qin Huaiyu, choose to support Qin Qiqi," Ning Wuming replied.
"So simple?" Yang Dingtian asked. "I don't think I'm that important."
Ning Wuming smiled and said, "I'm just a messenger. I don't know the details.
However, Qiqi asked me to pass you a letter. "
Then, Ning Wuming took out a letter from his bosom.
Yang Dingtian took it, and Ning Wuming turned around like a gentleman.
On the letter was Qin Qiqi's unique handwriting.
Yang Dingtian's hand had just touched the letter when the handwriting appeared.
"Yang Dingtian, help me kill Qin Huaiyu, and I'll give you the Chaos Demonic Turbidity.
Otherwise, I'll flatten Cloud Sky City in three months. "
He had just finished reading when the words on the letter disappeared without a trace.
Then, the letter also turned into ashes.
Yang Dingtian's heart was filled with endless anger.
This Ning Wuming in front of him, even when he was making the most sinister threats, he would never stop smiling.
Moreover, he wouldn't leave any evidence, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, Yang Dingtian thought of something.
Between Ning Wuming and Qin Qiqi, who was the hunter and who was the prey?
Of course, if Ning Wuming was the hunter, then his hunting target would be the entire Northwest Qin City, and even the entire Northwest and Southwest Continents.
Others might not know his identity, but Yang Dingtian knew it very well.
He was the lackey of the Temple of Annihilation's young master.
If Ning Wuming touched the Northwest Qin City, it meant that the Temple of Annihilation's evil claws were officially placed on the Northwest and Southwest Continents.
Suddenly, Yang Dingtian couldn't help but think of a person.
Two hundred years ago, the biggest traitor of the Tiandō League, the most notorious demon, Li Tianxiao of the Wooden Sword Castle. He killed millions of warriors of the Tiandō League and all of his elders.
Was this Ning Wuming in front of him playing the role of Li Tianxiao?
Although he couldn't wait to tear the person in front of him into pieces, Yang Dingtian still smiled and said, "Why don't you let me think about it?"
"Of course." Ning Wuming said, "This is a matter between brother-in-law and Qiqi. I'm just a messenger.
Even if you want to answer, please pass it to Qiqi directly. "
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you to make this trip." Yang Dingtian said.
"Thank you for your hospitality. I'll take my leave." Ning Wuming said.
Then, he bowed and retreated.
… …
"Husband, why is this Ning Wuming here?" Yanyan said, "He's very scary.
His gaze and his aura are very scary. "
"Why are you so scared?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"I can't tell. I can't tell if it's evil or mysterious. Anyway, he has an inhuman aura." Yanyan said, "Moreover, he has a fatal attraction to women.
Husband, there's a very scary thing. After a woman sees him, his shadow is instantly engraved in her mind. It's impossible to erase it.
To women, he's a fatal devil.
Yang Dingtian's hair stood on end. "There's such a thing?"
"Yes."
Yanyan said, "This is what mother told me. So before we meet him, she told me, Jiaojiao, Lianyi, and Susu not to look at Ning Wuming's eyes." Yanyan said, "So, we didn't look at him.
But he was really scary. Sitting beside him, she felt a chill run down her spine.
You noticed just now that Jiaojiao and I were fighting for food, but we didn't eat a single bite. "
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. He only felt that Ning Wuming was unfathomable.
Yanyan, on the other hand, felt a strange and terrifying aura from him. It was much scarier than Qin Huaiyu's.
"Alright, he won't come again." Yang Dingtian said, "I'll kill him in about one or two years."
"Kill him?
Why? "Yanyan said," But it's good to kill him. This kind of person will definitely harm the world. "
"Oh right, where's Dongfang Bingling?
How is she? "Yanyan asked.
"She?" Yang Dingtian paused for a moment, then said, "She only has about ten days left."
Yanyan was shocked. She straightened up from Yang Dingtian's arms and said in a trembling voice, "She, what happened to her?
Ten days, what do you mean? "
"She'll probably die in ten days."
Yang Dingtian said, "Because she was hit by something from the Temple of Annihilation. It's … it's similar to the Soul Devouring Qi in Uncle Ximen's body!"
Suddenly, tears fell from Yanyan's eyes, and her expression was incomparably sad.
"Husband, go accompany her. You'll be with her for the next ten days. She must really want you by her side." Yanyan said.
Yang Dingtian nodded and kissed Yanyan gently.
… …
Yang Dingtian landed in a small house more than ten miles away.
Dongfang Bingling was waiting for him at the door.
Yang Dingtian held her hand and said, "Junior Sister, we've been inseparable these days. Where do you want to go?"
Dongfang Bingling gently snuggled up to Yang Dingtian's chest and said, "Senior Brother, I'll take you to a place. A place that changed my fate. A place where I almost committed suicide.
I want to give myself to you completely there and truly be your woman. "
