Chapter 0373: The Five Major Experts

"Who are you? How did you get in?" Dhulandi was the first to react, as he stared at Ning Cheng and asked. Not to mention that his room had many layers of protections and monitored 24×7, just by his strength, nobody would dare to enter his room, without him knowing about it beforehand.

Moreover, of the world’s five Major Experts, there were already three inside this room.

Shelley and Monk Rui Qing were still puzzled and were wondering what was going on. After all, this was Dhulandi's personal room. Since this person had explicitly came to Dhulandi's room as such, they felt awkward to ask the first question. Now that Dhulandi had already spoken, the two of them immediately understood that this person had secretly broken in.

Shelley and Monk Rui Qing have been collaborating with each other for a long time, after understanding the situation, each of them just shared a glance with each other, before they suddenly struck out as they rushed forward to grab Ning Cheng. At the same time, Dhulandi also burst into action.

The speed of the three people was quite fast and had almost attacked simultaneously while they struck out Ning Cheng in unison.

Ning Cheng on seeing these three people begin immediately gleamed an estimate about the strength of the five Major Experts. This Monk Rui Qing and Dhulandi were equivalent to Late Stage True Condensation Cultivators, while this Shelley was equivalent to an Intermediate Stage True Condensation Cultivator.

However, they did not have Spiritual Consciousness; as such, they were at most similar to the most ordinary kind of True Condensation Cultivators. Even if Ning Cheng had not restored his cultivation to the Essence Building Realm, these three people would still not be his opponent, so how could they compete against him now that his strength had already recovered to the Essence Building Realm? Moreover, his Essence Building Realm was much different from ordinary Essence Building Realm. That was because when he was just at the Early Stages of Essence Building Realm, he was already able to kill Profound Congealing Cultivators.

However, in a place with a limited quantity of Spiritual Qi like the Earth, even if it was because of the Insect Nuclei, for one to be able to cultivate to the Late Stages of True Condensation Realm, it showed that these people were not simple at all. From this, the qualifications of these people were evident to be first class. These three might still be able to advance after a period under proper conditions.

Ning Cheng did not choose to make a move against them. He only stimulated his True Essence and then randomly moved one of his feet a bit, not even bringing out his Imposing Aura.

"Crash, Crash….." It was only a slight movement of a single foot, but the three of them felt as if a mountain had crashed into them, as they fell into a pile of rubble all at once.

Ning Cheng slowly walked to the place where Dhulandi was sitting at initially. He then opened the bottle of red wine that Dhulandi had just taken out, before directly drinking a mouthful of it. He then shook his head and spoke, "It really is just a trashy drink."

When he said this sentence, Ning Cheng suddenly wanted to laugh. He recalled Elder Brother Cang Wei's words from the time when he drank Ning Cheng's wine brewed from Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar. That statement carried the same sentiment. It looks like as a person grew stronger, their vision and tastes would also change.

"Don't……" Dhulandi suddenly called out.

However, his call was too late; Shelley had already taken out a pistol and fired several shots at Ning Cheng.

Ning Cheng only showed a faint smile. He lifted his hand and caught all the bullets with his bare hands. Even if Ning Cheng had not undergone Body Forging, Ning Cheng still would not have to fear these bullets. Now that he was already a Body-Forging Cultivator, letting these bullets strike his body, would it even matter?

If it were the laser wall, then Ning Cheng would be somewhat wary of it. After all, he had still not recovered his full strength. It also affected the power of his corporeal body partially. When it came to things like the laser wall, who knows if it might injure him or not? Before his cultivation reached the Profound Core Realm, he did not want to try out the laser wall. However, as for bullets, why would he care about them?

"….." When they saw that Ning Cheng was able to catch the bullets with his bare hands and with ease, the Dhulandi trio was utterly stunned.

Although they would also be able to dodge bullets, those were just plain bullets. Moreover, they would only be able to avoid them. However, Shelley's pistol was the latest magnetic-source pistol; as such, the shells shots out were 20 times faster than usual. Were these kind of rounds even avoidable? The answer was a big 'NO'. As to catching them with their bare hands, which expert in this world would even be able to go up against him? Even if the world's five Major Experts worked together, it would still not be enough to go up against a single palm from him.

The reason why Dhulandi had shouted 'Don't' was so that Shelley would not start shooting. He wanted Shelley to threaten Ning Cheng with his pistol first before figuring out the problem. After all, in this era, having another expert on the level of Ning Cheng would definitely be a good thing. However, he had not thought that Ning Cheng simply did not even need to fear Shelley's magnetic-source pistol bullets.

Ning Cheng raised his hand, shooting out two bullets. These two bullets directly pierced through the flesh of both of Shelley's arms, while Shelley was still in a daze. It caused his hands to loosen up, followed by the pistol automatically flowing into Ning Cheng's hands.

Seeing blood gushing out from both his arms, Dhulandi quickly spoke out in panic, "Senior, I hope that you could spare Shelley's life on account of the number of insects he worked hard to kill."

One had to say, this Dhulandi's Mandarin was quite good. Not only was his words fast, but his words did not have even half a break between them.

The two bullets pierced Shelley's both arms, causing his face to turn pale as he looked at Ning Cheng in horror. In his heart, he was already regretting his decision and was trembling uncontrollably. He had never seen or even heard of such a horrifying expert like Ning Cheng.

There was a flash from Ning Cheng's hand causing the magnetic source pistol in his hand to disappear without a trace. He then squeezed his hand, and the remaining bullets turned to metal powder that flowed down to the ground.

"This was only a warning, the next time any of you dare to bring out arms against me; I might not show this kind of patience." Ning Cheng spoke out quietly.

He did not choose to kill this Shelley, which was because when Shelley continuously fired, he had avoided all of his vital points. He aimed two of them at his arms while targeting the other three at his legs. If it were otherwise, then even if there were ten of Shelley's, Ning Cheng would have killed each one of them. Hard work to destroy those insects? This was merely a joke to him.

These fellows rose to power by killing insects, what kind of hard work was this, at best; it would only help them get rich. Even if he chose to kill all the insects, it would just take a bit of effort on his part. However, with their abilities, if they wanted to kill off all the insects, then it was merely a dream.

"Yes, Yes……" Dhulandi quickly bowed and answered. Then he promptly took out some medicinal powder and applied it to Shelley's wounds. They were killing insects outside all year round, as such for them to carry such type of medicinal powder; it meant that its effects were also quite good.

Monk Rui Qing quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead before cautiously taking a few steps forward and bowed down to Ning Cheng while holding up his cupped fists before speaking, "Is Senior also a person from China?"

"That's right; I am truly someone from China." Ning Cheng replied with a nod.

At this moment, Dhulandi had finally finished helping Shelley with his injuries. Then he, along with Shelley, arrived at the front of Ning Cheng and gave a bow.

If someone else had seen this scene, then probably his or her jaws would be touching the ground in shock. Dhulandi, Shelley, and Monk Rui Qing were three of the five Major Experts of this world. Usually, no matter where they went, it was the others bowing down to salute them, when was it ever they offering their salutes to others?

"Senior, for you to visit my Wizbon Hotel, yet this Dhulandi not coming forward to welcome you is truly a terrible sin." Dhulandi could see that Ning Cheng was likely a bit reasonable to talk with, but he still put himself on a lower level.

Ning Cheng knocked once on the table, "My sister was put under house arrest by your hotel. I am here today to ask as to what is going on."

Hearing Ning Cheng's words, Dhulandi immediately broke out in cold sweat. His skill was genuinely inferior to the senior sitting in front of him. Although he looked very reasonable on the surface, with his sister actually imprisoned in his hotel, would he still choose to remain consistent in his behaviour?

Which bastard was it; at this moment, Dhulandi wished he could swallow that person alive, the person who dared to imprison Ning Cheng's sister.

"Senior, please let me first find out the situation." Although cold sweat was dripping onto the floor, Dhulandi did not dare to wipe it off.

Even when he was facing that Commander Level Demon Insect, Dhulandi still had not felt any kind of fear. However, standing in front of Ning Cheng, that invisible pressure coming from him had utterly terrified him to his core.

Dhulandi was not a True Cultivator but an ordinary martial artist, so of course, he did not know anything about 'imposing aura' or about 'killing force'. Ning Cheng had only slightly pressured him with his imposing aura, if he could still remain calm and steady, then it would have been a strange event.

"You can go ahead and ask, but my time is limited." After Ning Cheng finished, he took out a bottle of wine brewed from Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar and took a sip.

An indescribable scent of wine drifted out, not to mention the still standing Monk Rui Qing and Shelley who were swallowing their own saliva; even Dhulandi who was just about to leave the room was also unable to bear swallowing down a mouthful of saliva. It was no wonder this incomparably powerful senior said that his wine collection was just trash. Any other wine did not even have the qualifications of 'trash' in front of this wine. Just taking a whiff of the wine, he could feel his strength enhanced by a considerable margin.

Dhulandi returned quickly, he had merely gone for a few minutes, before he returned to the room once again.

"Senior, this junior had really not thought that such a thing would happen. I took the initiative to remove the manager who had collaborated with the External Domain Insect Nucleus Merchant House and is waiting for Senior to dole out the punishment. For my Wizbon Hotel to do this kind of thing, this junior was not aware of it truly. This junior is willing to take all responsibility for it." After Dhulandi came back, he respectfully stood in front of Ning Cheng and spoke out.

Ning Cheng just gave an 'En' sound, then after slightly considering this matter, he once again spoke out, "Since you have already dealt with the hotel manager, then its ok. Although this time the people from your hotel colluded with others, I also have to thank you. If not for your hotel, my younger sister might have died. Sit down, oh right, the two of you can also take a seat."

With Dhulandi's status, it was, of course, impossible for him to participate in this kind of low-levelled managerial matters. However, if Dhulandi had even the slightest involvement in it, then Ning Cheng would not have even bothered to speak and would have already razed the Wizbon Hotel to the ground.

"Yes, thank you, Senior." The three people on hearing Ning Cheng inviting them to sit down hurriedly gave a bow to him and expressed their thanks; there was even some excitement in their voice. If they could get on good terms with an expert like Ning Cheng, then what would it mean?

"Senior, this junior intends to gift the Hundred Bay Point's Wizbon Hotel to Senior's little sister as compensation." Dhulandi thought that Ning Cheng was not that kind of ferocious person, so he chose to speak out with a natural tone after sitting down.

Ning Cheng took out a bottle of wine brewed in Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar before passing it on to Dhulandi before speaking, "Here, I don’t want to accused of being cheap. This one bottle of wine is worth more than ten thousand of such hotels."

"Thank you, Senior." Dhulandi was pleasantly surprised as he stood up and used both his hands to receive the bottle of wine from Ning Cheng carefully. Even if Ning Cheng had casually given away a bottle of water, he would still be delighted.

Later, when he took a sip of this wine, Dhulandi finally realised the meaning behind Ning Cheng's words. Not to mention ten thousand Wizbon Hotels, even it was a hundred thousand Wizbon Hotels; he would never be willing to exchange this bottle of wine. Even his good friends, Monk Rui Qing and Shelley, were able to gain immense profits at someone else's expense.

Ning Cheng just waved his hand and spoke, "You don’t need to call me as Senior. My name is Ning Cheng."

"Yes, Senior Ning. I just received some information a moment ago that the Cheng Ruolan Company comes under the name of Senior Ning's sister. Three days later, the Hundred Bay Point will be holding a large-scale exchange. I would like to represent the Hundred Bay Point and invite the Cheng Ruolan Company to participate in it. I don’t know if Senior Ning……" Although Dhulandi had said a 'Yes', he still addressed him as 'Senior Ning'.

Ning Cheng also stood up and spoke, "Okay, three days later, I will come there to have a look."

Dhulandi also stood up, before he personally escorted Ning Cheng to the door of the room and opened it before stepping back to let Ning Cheng pass first.

Chapter 0374: Collecting Insect Materials

Ning Cheng had just walked up to the where Ruolan and Dai Xin were staying, when he saw Ruolan and Dai Xin, with a completely shocked look on their faces, standing at the door. A tall woman also stood beside her sister with some documents in her hand.

"Big Brother, this is the head of the Wizbon Hotel. She said that you have already bought the hotel and that it now belongs to the Cheng Ruolan Company, this….." Seeing Ning Cheng walk towards them, Ning Ruolan spoke with a voice as if she could not believe such a thing.

Dai Xin was also looking at Ning Cheng with a bewildered look on her face. Buying the Hundred Bay Point's Wizbon Hotel, just how much money did this mean?

Ning Cheng gave a smile, "What they said is correct, I traded this hotel with other things. It now truly belongs to the Cheng Ruolan Company. You and Dai Xin can handle the industry transfer procedure; I will be going out on a trip."

He had not thought that Dhulandi to be this quick with his service. Although he had spoken about it initially, it looks like he had already put people into motion for transferring the ownership rights of the hotel to his younger sister.

"Where are you going?" Ning Ruolan asked in a panicked tone. Whether or not the hotel was hers was unimportant. What was even more critical was where her big brother was going.

"Senior Ning, this is the Hundred Bay Point's ID card, it would be of great assistance to you……" Dhulandi hurriedly ran over to them. Then he took out a golden card before handing it respectfully with both hands to Ning Cheng.

"Oh, thank you very much then." Ning Cheng was already thinking of going out, so this ID card just came in time.

As he took the ID card, Ning Cheng saw the engraved words on the ID card 'Hundred Bay Point Super VIP' followed by a series of honorary titles.

Ning Cheng actually did not care about it, but with the ID card, it would not be troublesome for him to come and go from this place. At least he would not always have to employ stealth tactics.

Although Dai Xin had heard Dhulandi's name numerous times, she had never seen him. However, Ning Ruolan had actually seen Dhulandi once before. This was one of the five Major Experts of the world. Yet this kind of a powerhouse was actually referring to her big brother as 'Senior'.

Seeing Ning Cheng receive the ID card, Dhulandi felt very pleased as he spoke up, "This junior will not disturb Senior with his matters. This hotel has several special rooms; Senior can come here at any time to stay."

Seeing Dhulandi retreat, Ning Ruolan carefully asked, "Big Brother is that person Dhulandi? I think he looks a lot like him."

"He is. Three days later, there will be a large-scale exchange in the Hundred Bay Point. All of the world best companies will be participating. Are you still looking for materials? Three days later, we are going there to participate." Ning Cheng had seen many Crucible Transformation Experts, so when it came to Dhulandi's skill as a martial artist, he really did not care much about it.

Ning Ruolan quickly spoke out, "Big brother, that is the largest Exchange Meet in the world. We are simply not eligible to go there. The ones going there are some of the world's top companies, in other words, the top influencers of the world. Moreover, let alone the funds needed to go there, we don't even have any materials to display."

Ning Cheng showed a faint smile before speaking, "Who says we are not qualified to participate? That was the thing of the past. This time, the reason why I'm going out is to find some materials for us. Our Cheng Ruolan Company is going to bring out a few products that would be unmatchable."

If it were not for his younger sister Ruolan's Company, Ning Cheng really would have been too lazy to think of even attending this kind of meeting. He was going to take away his younger sister, so he had to help in developing the Cheng Ruolan Company first. He had even thought of leaving behind the Wizbon Hotel, along with the company, to Dai Xin. Dai Xin had taken out all of her savings and had accompanied Ruolan to such a place. In any case, she would not allow Dai Xin to suffer any grievances on her behalf. As such, before leaving, he would give one of the world's largest materials company to Dai Xin.

As for capturing the Insect Queen, Ning Cheng would not go about doing it just yet. After he caught the Insect Queen, the next and only step would be to leave Earth. As such, he had to wait until his strength recovered entirely before attempting such a thing.

"Really, Ruolan, can we really to the Hundred Bay Point's Materials Exchange?" Dai Xin shouted out in surprise. Although she had only been in contact with Insect Materials for a short while, she was much more interested in the Insect Materials than Ning Ruolan was. For Ning Ruolan it was just a way to make some money, because of which Ruolan showed interest in establishing an Insect Materials Company. Otherwise, she would have never come to such a place like the External Domain Insect Nucleus Merchant House to look at Insect Nuclei.

"Grey Toottoot, when I’m not here if anybody dares to make a move on Ruolan or Dai Xin, then you are free to kill them. Don't show any mercy and also don’t be polite about it." Ning Cheng patted Grey Toottoot who was being held by Ning Ruolan in her arms.

Grey Toottoot called out a few times in a dissatisfied manner as if trying to say 'does this mean that you look at me as if I was the kind that liked receiving disrespectful visitors?'

The ID card provided by Dhulandi was truly quite effective. As no one inspected him at even one of the several checkpoints of the Hundred Bay Point. Not to mention about inspecting him, but the moment the security personnel saw Ning Cheng's ID card, all of them even bowed in salute.

After leaving the Hundred Bay Point, Ning Cheng then took out the Rank 5 Battle Disc. After giving out the command to locate an insect-infested site, the Rank 5 Battle Disc transformed into a black line before it instantly rushed into the air.

"Found a scanning signal, belonging to a lower level radar, do you want to put up an interference shield?" Inside the Rank 5 Battle Disc, Sifting Orchid's clear voice sounded out.

"Put the shield up." Ning Cheng said without any hesitation. He was going to kill a few small insects, but he did not want to make a fuss about it with others.

Just a few minutes later, Ning Cheng saw endless insects from within the Rank 5 Battle Disc. This was a city abandoned a long time ago. He had indeed not guessed wrong, as many of the insects here are quite close to turning into Class 1 Monstrous Beasts. He even saw several big ones that were close to Class 2 Monstrous Beasts in power.

In this place, there were also a few different types of insects other than the Sharp Toothed Yellow Spot Insect. From what Ning Cheng saw, there were at least a dozen different species. Some of these insects were busy in killing each other while some of them were hiding in the corners waiting to ambush others.

What was shocking to Ning Cheng was that he actually found a few insects with crude wings. It was an easy guess that if this kind of insect had enough time to evolve, these winged insects would then be able to easily bypass the laser walls and attack the city.

Once this happened, it would indeed bring a catastrophe for the entire Earth.

As the Rank 5 Battle Disc descended, the nearby insects immediately discovered it, causing them to rush towards it in swarms. Some of those insects with crude wings were able to leap higher than the other insects, almost to the point of being able to touch the Rank 5 Battle Disc.

As this dense swarm of insects swarmed over in his direction, it would cause any person with fears of crowds, to feel extremely unbearable. This place was still very far from the location of the Insect Queen, once he approached nearer to the Insect Queen, wouldn't the insects there be even more powerful?

"Sifting Orchid, use the crowd killing mode of the Spirit Stone Cannons to attack them. Just kill these insects but don’t vaporise them." Ning Cheng immediately issued the order to attack.

Although even if he did not use the Rank 5 Battle Disc, he would still be able to take care of these insects with ease, Ning Cheng was disinclined to fight it out with these low-levelled insects. With the Rank 5 Battle Disc's large-scale attacks, it would be able to kill these insects straightforwardly and quickly.

The Rank 5 Battle Disc sent out an intermittent buzzing sound. Then it immediately displayed all kinds of data on the giant display monitor in front of Ning Cheng. In the middle of this displayed data, there was a circular distribution map, with dense amounts of green dots displayed.

"Spirit Stone Cannons have been prepared, no differential life fluctuations for the first round of attacks.” As Sifting Orchid's voice came out, the Rank 5 Battle Disc shot out several raindrop-thick red lines into the crowd.

Ning Cheng who was sitting in the Battle Disc quickly found that the insects on the ground, under this red line, ended up dead instantaneously, without even being able to put up any kind of resistance.

At the same time, the green dots displayed on the distribution map were rapidly decreasing; however, red dots were quickly replacing the disappearing green dots. Ning Cheng immediately understood that initially, these dots were representing all the insects in range. The green dots indicated that the insects were alive and had life, while the red dots represented those that have been killed.

Ning Cheng stood up and spoke, "Sifting Orchid, I'm going down to collect the materials from the insects, you follow behind me. Wherever I go, you have to follow. At the same time, kill all the nearby insects; leave not a single once alive."

Finished saying that, Ning Cheng then descended into the masses of insects that had just recently died, and began gathering their Insect Nuclei. With his Essence Building Cultivation, plus a knife type Spiritual Artefact, it was easy to collect the Insect Nuclei. As long he raised his hand, his long knife would dig out several Insect Nuclei before he stored them away in his ring.

The insects killed by the Rank 5 Battle Disc were really too many, causing Ning Cheng to have a continuously increasing collection, to the point that he was just not able to gather it all by himself. Although he had said that he was going to collect some materials, but these Insect Nuclei were in itself numerous enough to the point that it would keep him busy for quite some time.

As time passed, Ning Cheng lost interest in collecting lower level Insect Nuclei and directly started to look for high-level Insect Nuclei. However, after wasting almost a full day on it, Ning Cheng felt that this kind of approach would not necessarily be the most profitable approach.

Within the insect, an Insect Nucleus was undoubtedly the most valuable. However, it was merely one part. The reason why these insect materials were not as relevant as the Insect Nucleus was that the Insect Materials were not correctly processed.

The Insect Nucleus contained Essence Qi, it was not only useful for martial artists, but it also had some uses for True Cultivators. To a Martial Artist, Essence Qi was much more direct and more natural to absorb than Spiritual Qi. However, for True Cultivators, Spirit Stones were more precious than Insect Nuclei. However, to a Martial Artist, the Insect Nucleus that contains the worldly Essence Qi was the most valuable thing.

Once it was absorbed from the Insect Nucleus, then it was gone, but if he could refine these Insect Materials into some rudimentary Magical Artefacts, then perhaps it would become even more valuable than Insect Nuclei.

However, Ning Cheng's Artefact Crafting ability was the poorest of all his skills. Fortunately, he was also an Array Formation Grandmaster. If he could inscribe an Array Formation onto the Magical Artefact, then it would definitely be able to increase the rank of the Magical Artefact by a full grade.

These low-levelled insects almost did not have any intelligence, but that did not mean that they had no knowledge at all. They still possessed some instinctual knowledge. It was also because of this that these insects knew that they cannot approach the laser wall and that as soon as they got close to it, their only fate would be to turn into ashes. Therefore, after the indiscriminate slaughter by the Rank 5 Battle Disc, the insects realised that this broken and abandoned city would not be able to provide them with any protection, causing many of these insects to flee.

Ning Cheng found a place to sit down and began refining these Insect Materials. His refining speed was quite fast. After he extracted the valuable insect materials, he then improved them into shank-like weapons. However, it was still not a weapon comparable to even a low-grade Magical Artefact. Ning Cheng then immediately inscribed an Array Formation onto it, causing this rudimentary Magical Artefact to rise in rank to a low-grade Magical Artefact.

It was mainly because refining such things was fast that Ning Cheng was somewhat disinclined to collect more materials only to get back to refining them. Doing it this way would also save him a lot of time, and he did not have to touch these materials repeatedly.

After a day, Ning Cheng was able to refine low-grade Magical Artefacts by himself, but after he inscribed the Array Formations onto these low-grade artefacts, it had caused them to jump in rank to become a medium grade Magical Artefact.

"Tian Huanyu, two days have passed since then, why have you not brought me that woman?" In the luxurious room of the External Domain Hotel, Master Yan's eyes were full of anger as he stared at Tian Huanyu standing in front of him. If not for this person in front of him still being of some use to him, he would have long since dragged him out and smashed his face.

"Master Yan, you cannot blame me for this matter. Two days ago, Wizbon Hotel's Dhulandi suddenly came back. Moreover, there was also Monk Rui Qing and Shelley who came along with him, who are currently staying in the hotel. Even if I have ten thousand times my courage, I will not dare to ask about it with them around."
