Chapter 2177: The Strongest Green Tea in History (Part 2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

What was completely unexpected was that Wang Ningxi actually refused, saying: “Senior Sanbao, it’s not that I don’t appreciate the offer, but I have been banned by His Majesty the Immortal Emperor. Being allowed to stay with the Great Qian Wang Clan is already an act of grace from His Majesty. If I were to run around everywhere, wouldn’t that publicly slap His Majesty in the face?”

After True Monarch Sanbao returned and reported the situation truthfully, Elder Tian Ji waved his hand lightly and said: “Since this is the case, then it seems the old man and he are not fated to meet. So be it, let’s not offend His Majesty the Immortal Emperor over this matter.”

But within two days, news shook the Immortal City.

In various prominent families of the Immortal City, the younger generation proficient in artifact refining who came to compete and exchange ideas with Wang Ningxi all met with disastrous defeat.

This caused Wang Ningxi’s reputation as a crafting tool genius to skyrocket. Being valued so highly by the Hundred Refinements True Monarch truly shows his skill.

Upon hearing this, Elder Tian Ji was once again tempted, but being a presence of True Immortal level combat power, he naturally wasn’t willing to directly show up; that would be such a loss of face.

But who could have predicted.

Another two days later, Wang Ningxi’s name once again resounded. His puppet spider won in a competition against the Purple Abode Realm puppet of a Master of the Divine Power Realm Artificer, with the astonishing revelation that Wang Ningxi had crafted the puppet spider on his own.

Usually, a master capable of crafting puppets who can create a Purple Abode Realm puppet while in the Divine Power Territory is already a top expert.

Yet Wang Ningxi, while still in the Heavenly Human Realm, was able to independently craft a puppet with Purple Abode Realm combat power. If he hadn’t cheated by employing the assistance of the Hundred Refinements True Monarch, then he is the most extraordinary puppet master in history.

This made even Elder Tian Ji restless. Throughout his life, he was extremely skilled at artifact refining and puppetry, but even when he was at the Heavenly Human Realm, he was absolutely not as formidable as Wang Ningxi.

Luckily, there were many external rumors saying that at least half of the components of Wang Ningxi’s spider puppet were from the hands of the Hundred Refinements True Monarch. While there were those who admired him, naturally there were also various defamatory rumors.

Elder Tian Ji simply had a change of thought and, under the guise of verifying Wang Ningxi’s capabilities, took the initiative to visit the Great Qian Wang Clan, accompanied by a group of local master refiners and refining masters of the Immortal Dynasty.

Do not underestimate Elder Tian Ji; he may not be able to outfight the Immortal Emperor, but in the field of artifact refining, he is a unique existence worldwide. Whether in the Immortal Dynasty or the Demonic Dynasty, he has many followers in the artifact refining community.

Many people were crying and begging, even kneeling at his door, just to seek Elder Tian Ji’s guidance.

With Elder Tian Ji taking action, it naturally drew tremendous attention, even His Majesty the Immortal Emperor sent eunuchs to observe the situation, and if Wang Ningxi genuinely cheated, then he would be expelled from the Immortal Dynasty.

If he truly has this ability, His Majesty would also consider lifting his ban.

This was a grand event.

Elder Tian Ji continuously posed questions, and Wang Ningxi was quick to answer them one after another. However, Wang Ningxi was no pushover either, and he also raised many of his own doubts to question Elder Tian Ji.

The old and the young, in their back-and-forth exchange, seemed increasingly interested; the interaction lasted for three days and three nights.

People from the refining world listened with rapture, as if immersed in an endless dao. Meanwhile, unrelated onlookers found it dull and were nearly dozing off.

“Good, good!”

Elder Tian Ji, thrilled, jumped up, “Ningxi boy, you’re even more extraordinary than rumored, with your mastery in artifact refining and puppetry, you can definitely independently create that spider puppet.”

All insiders were in awe. With Elder Tian Ji verifying its authenticity, Wang Ningxi no longer had any suspicion of cheating. This represents that our Immortal Dynasty produced a world-class crafting tool genius.

“Thank you, senior, for clearing the rumors.” Wang Ningxi appeared neither arrogant nor humble.

“Ningxi, are you interested in becoming my disciple?” Elder Tian Ji’s eyes filled with passionate intensity when he looked at Wang Ningxi, as if seeing a unique treasure.

“This…” Wang Ningxi hesitated, “I have already promised my master, the Hundred Refinements True Monarch, that I will inherit his Hundred Refinements Codex in the future.”

“Hundred Refinements? Bah!” Elder Tian Ji angrily spat, “That kid Hundred Refinements has some skills, but what qualifies him to take you as a disciple? Ningxi, Ningxi, you are a peerless gem, do not ruin your future.”

“Elder Tian Ji.” Wang Ningxi shook his head firmly, “A person must be true to their word. Since I have already made a promise to my master, I will not change it.”

“You…” Elder Tian Ji, in anger, waved his hand, “You kid do not appreciate kindness, you have missed the greatest opportunity.”

After saying that, he strode away.

This left everyone lamenting, amazed at Wang Ningxi’s talent, or perhaps regretting, or secretly taking pleasure in his potential misfortune.

But Wang Ningxi remained unmoved.

After a few days, the Immortal Emperor summoned Wang Ningxi for an audience, and shortly thereafter, it was announced that Wang Ningxi possessed world-class Grade A bloodline talent, shocking the Immortal Dynasty once again.

World-Class Grade A!

He’s only at the Heavenly Human Realm and hasn’t reached the Purple Abode Realm to inherit the codex yet.

By then, he might be able to break through to the level of Son of Heaven in one go. If given an Immortal Scripture, his bloodline will further enhance, capable of rivaling Princess Su Yun.

Then, Elder Tian Ji couldn’t sit still again and hurried off to the Great Qian Wang Clan. But he heard that Wang Ningxi had already discreetly left the Immortal Dynasty and returned to the Dongqian Wang Clan.

After hesitating for a moment, Elder Tian Ji could no longer hold back and said: “Come, get me a ticket for a flying boat to Dongqian.”
