《The Gate Of Good Fortune》 Chapter 0001 – A Close Call Chapter 0001 C A Close Call Bang ...... a sound emerged, as a rusty iron gate was opened, the echoes of the iron gate opening, which was rising in spirals unceasingly, were blocked by the ancient building. After a few dozen breaths of time, a drooping young man was dragged by his arms by two prison guards. He was being dragged out from behind the gate. This drooping young man, did not appear to be breathing, and even his thin arms were just bones. From his ragged clothes, which were besmeared with blood, it could be seen how much devastation and suffering this young man had gone through. Peng This emaciated man was thrown onto the floor by the two prison guards, kicking up some dust, then there was no movement. This kid should be dead, right? Asked a stout jailer while staring at the motionless young man on the floor. Another jailer humphed, He should be dead, who let him act recklessly and blindly, even dared to be rude to Miss Jian. Now it is good, not only was the Ning n destroyed, he himself seems to have fallen out in the same way, he simply got what was deserved. Old man, speak carefully, we are the ones who have to drag him out. The short and stout prison guard hastily warned the other. Listening to this short and stout prison guard, the old guard with a shrinking hairline, went to the person lying on the ground, ready to pull him up. At this time, a somewhat weak and delicate voice cried out, Two elder brothers, I would like to take my husband away. The two prison guards who were just speaking to each other, saw a woman standing at the side dressed in coarse cloths, although this woman was dressed in coarse linen, but they could vaguely see that she was in good shape. The only disappointing thing was that her face had been disfigured. It was covered slightly by her messy hair, letting people not willing to look at her for a second time. The two prison guards recognized this woman, she was one of the two people from the Ning n left alive. The entire Ning n was exterminated, the only ones left alive was the old housekeeper and the young woman standing in front of them. Ning Gao was the housekeeper of the Ning ns residence, but when the Ning ns residence was raided, he had already left the Cang Qin Province to go out on an errand, thus he escaped. But this woman was not only Ning ns daughter-inw, but also the fiance of the emaciated man who was just thrown out by the prison guards, and was called Ji Luo Fei. Because she was staying in the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, she also had escaped unharmed. Of course, this also was because Ji Luo Fei and the Ning n were not officially affiliated, the only reason she married into the Ning n, was because the heads of the Ning and Ji ns were close friends. She was betrothed to Ning Cheng during her childhood. But the Ji n had a rather bizarre fall, leaving only the disfigured Ji Luo Fei behind. Even so, Ning Chengs grandfather Ning Hong Chang still allowed her to marry into his house. After making the preparations for Ning Cheng to start gathering Qi, the two of them would have gotten married. Unfortunately, the aptitude of Ning Cheng was extremely bad, even after many years of trying to cultivate, he was unable to gather Qi, not only that, he even openly cursed at the disfigured look of Ji Luo Fei. Fortunately, Ji Luo Fei was a homeless daughter-inw, and had always resigned herself to adversity, so she never said anything. This time when she came back from the Academy, she was informed that the Ning n was destroyed. This was the first time she hade to the prison. Originally, she wanted to ask if Ning Cheng coulde out, but she never thought that Ning Cheng who, at present, had no breath, would be thrown out of the prison by the guards. Ji Luo Fei seeing the expressions of the two prison guards, did not wait for them to speak up, and pulled out a dozen silver coins, quickly handing them over, she spoke Two elder brothers, my husbands already gone, I...... OK, OK, drag him away, put this ugly here to die. That short and stout prison guard took the silver coins, and said while impatiently waving his hand. Originally, they were the one who had to handle the corpse of Ning Cheng, actually it was unthinkable for them that somebody would handle it for them, moreover even give them silver coins, this kind of good deal, they certainly would not reject. Ji Luo Fei hearing this, hurriedly took Ning Cheng and cing him on her back, quickly picked up her speed and soon disappeared from the entrance of the prison. That Ji Luo Fei, if had not been disfigured, then she would have been a real beauty. Looking at the figure of Ji Luo Fei, the other prison guard said while tossing up a silver coin in his hand, with an appraised tone. Dont talk nonsense, whether that Ji Luo Feis figure good or bad, she is a person from the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, even if she is ugly, she is beyond us. The short and stout prison guard patted the shoulders of the prison guard who had just been speaking and walked to the inside of the prison through the iron gate. With another loud bang, the iron gates closed once more. ...... Ning Xiao Cheng caught a whiff of an exceedingly pleasant and delicate fragrance. When he first opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a spotless white neck. The next moment, Ning Cheng was able to sense, that he was being carried by a woman, and that delicate fragrance wasing from this womans body. No thats not right, he remembered being rejected by Tian Mu Wan. His mood was extremely bad and he had ended up walking onto a highway bridge. Then, from the horizon came a yellow light which caused him to lose conscious, and then......there was nothing after that. Could it be that he did not die? What was going on here in the end? Ning Xiao Cheng was just thinking of this, when all sorts of myriad information swarmed into his mind, he had unexpectedly reborn. What really made Ning Xiao Cheng feel really shocked, was that the body in which he was reborn into belonged to someone called Ning Cheng. The reason that he was so shocked, was because originally his name was also Ning Cheng. It was only because he used to have frequent nightmares, in which he would see himself being brought to very strange ces, plotted against and thrown to prison, and getting tortured to death. Although it was only a dream to him, but Ning Cheng still changed his name to Ning Xiao Cheng. He did not expect it to turn a full circle, where he would be called Ning Cheng, and actually be reborn into the same environment that he had witnessed in his dreams. Ning Cheng wanted to lift his hand, to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. Turning to look at the woman who was carrying him on her back, he didnt have much to say. Im sorry, I dont have the strength to walk. Seeing this woman turn to take a nce at him, Ning Cheng said apologetically. Making a woman carry him, he was feeling truly ufortable. The Ning n is already dead; it seems you were still lucky enough to be alive. This woman spoke with a calm tone, it seemed that even if Ning Cheng were to really die, she would still have this kind of tranquillity and calmness. Ning Cheng became silent, just now he had been rearranging some of his fragmented memories. He would now once again be called Ning Cheng, the sole heir to the Ning n in Cang Qin Province. His name was now Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng, anyways, was also his original name. The Ning n was a medium-sized aristocratic family in the Cang Qin Province, but their numbers were too small. The parents of Ning Cheng went to the Mingot Sea to seek for magical treasures when Ning Cheng was still small, but they never came back. Ning Cheng followed his grandfather Ning Hong Chang and lived a prosperous life in Cang Le city, the capital of the Cang Qin Province. Although the Ning ns residence wasrge, there were not many people living in it. Ning Cheng, of course, became the head of the mansion, because Ning Hong Chang did not always manage Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng did all kinds of bad things in the Cang Le City, and Ning Hong Chang was the one to bear them. Cang Le City was a city filled with the Royal Familys rtives, although Ning Hong Cheng was a senior statesman in the Cang Qin Province, butpared to these rtives of the Royal Family, he had quite a poor standing. Finally, one day, even he could not put up with the basket of evil that was Ning Cheng. He had gone so far as to even offend the Cang Qins Jian ns beloved daughter Jian Su Jie, not to mention that Su Jies family was untouchable, Jian Su Jies fianc was the Qiu Ying Guang. Someone the Ning n did not dare provoke. Ning Cheng thought of this, and sighed. The result of his deeds, of course, was being locked up and tortured in prison, his grandfather Ning Hong Chang, in order to protect him, depleted his connections and wealth, and as a result, not only was he not able to save him, on the contrary the whole Ning n got dragged into it. He heard about this news from the mouths of the prison guards, that the Ning n was destroyedpletely because of him. After Ning Cheng cleared up these matters, he sighed again in his heart, this world didnt make any sense to speak of, as here the one who had the strength was always right. Meanwhile he also understood who the woman carrying him on her back was, the woman with the disfigured face was his fiance, named Ji Luo Fei, she was somewhat simr to a child bride back on Earth. The Ji n were foreign to the Cang Qin Province, because the rtions between the grandfathers of Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei were good, they helped Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei to get close. Later, the Ji n inexplicably declined, leaving only the disfigured Ji Luo Fei. But Ning Chengs grandfather Ning Hong Chang wanted Ji Luo Fei to have a better home, once Ning Cheng was ready to begin cultivating Qi, he helped the two to immediately get engaged. Ning Hong Chang tolerated Ning Cheng in other matters, but in the matter of taking Ji Luo Fei as his bride, he did not yield. Originally, Ning Cheng was very dissatisfied with the disfigured face of Ji Luo Fei, he did not hit her but frequently scolded her, but Ji Luo Fei just smiled and bore it, never refuting what Ning Cheng said. But Ji Luo Fei and Ning Cheng were different, she was qualified to practice cultivation. Not only that, with the Ning ns help, she was even admitted into the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, and was already at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level. In the Cang Qin Province, as long as a person was able to cultivate Qi, they were called cultivators. Once any cultivator advanced to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, their status would immediately shoot up. At this time, Ji Luo Fei had brought him back to a very small ck stone house. Although it was a small ck stone house, the area around it was not small, unlike some others. There was even a small yard, the yard also had a deep well. How was Ning npletely destroyed? Ning Cheng suddenly asked. Even if it was rted to his actions, Ning Cheng must rify this matter. Although he guessed that it was because of Jian Su Jie and Qiu Ying Guan, but he had to find out for himself. You did your own things, why ask me? Ji Luo Feis answer was simple, putting Ning Cheng down at once. She poured a cup of water and feeding it to Ning Cheng said: Ill go boil water for you to bath, there are some things you should forget, as it will not do you any good. Ning Cheng looked at Ji Luo Fei boiling water, and did not continue to ask questions, he understood the meaning of what Ji Luo Fei said. With his ability, the more he knew, the more he was likely to die. Even if he doesnt know anything, in this ce, it was another thing to be able to survive. He did not know what Ji Luo Fei added in that cup of water, but Ning Cheng felt that after he drank the cup of water, he regained some strength. Ning Cheng was sitting on an old wooden bed, while thinking about his own situation, he was thinking of his younger sister Ning Ruo Lan. At the same time, he also did not understand why Tian Mu Wan did such a thing to him, ording to him, Tian Mu Wan was absolutely not that kind of a snobbish girl. Chapter 0002 – Difficult Prospects Chapter 0002 C Difficult Prospects The water is ready; I will help you take a bath. Ning Cheng had almost finished sorting out the things he was thinking, when Ji Luo Fei once more walked out and said. Although Ning Cheng was in love Tian Mu Wan for a couple of years, but at most, they were limited to holding hands. Other than that, he did not take any further action. Now that Ji Luo Fei proposed to help him take a bath, Ning Cheng felt this was unnatural. He was certain that he did not let himself be bathed by Ji Luo Feng, not because of his ideas, but because of her disfigured face. I can do it myself ...... Ning Cheng said hastily. Aware of Ji Luo Feis puzzled look, Ning Cheng quickly got up from the bed, barely managing to hold himself steady, as he held the bed he said. You see; I can move around on my own now. Although he suffered heavy torture in the prison for some time, but aftering back and drinking the water offered by Ji Luo Fei, Ning Cheng was able to barely move. Seeing Ning Cheng walk towards the bathroom in a rickety manner, Ji Luo Fei was getting increasingly puzzled. In her memories, Ning Cheng absolutely did not deny others serving him, to Ning Cheng, those who did not serve him properly only received a good beating, moreover he would never say such kinds of words, nor would he do such kind of thing. Now that Ning Cheng knew that his n was exterminated, did he mature and start to understand many affairs whenpared to before? However, Ji Luo Fei put these doubts to one side, she no longer went to help Ning Cheng with his bath, instead she started making some rice porridge. Ning Cheng had tried cultivating for many years but was unable to cultivate Qi, this was no doubt not only because he was not willing to endure the hardships, but even his temperament in that area was very poor. Now that the Ning n was destroyed, but Ning Cheng did not die in the prison, Ji Luo Fei could expect the kind of miserable life that awaited him. Although she was the fiance of Ning Cheng in name, they never did get married, but at the same time, she already was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, and once she advanced to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, the Academy would put great emphasis on her cultivation. Even if she did not give up Ning Cheng, the Academy would not permit her to stay with Ning Cheng in the same ce. As a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, if she continued to live with Ning Cheng in the same ce, with Ning Chengs present condition, it would definitely not help Ning Cheng, but rather would make Ning Cheng die quicker. To live with Ning Cheng in the same ce, Ji Luo Fei did not have any qualms. Although Ning Cheng was bad to her, he did not hit her but only scolded. The reason why she not only came back to rescue Ning Cheng, and also looked after Ning Cheng with all her heart, was because she owed the Ning n. In the eyes of Ji Luo Fei, Ning Cheng was someone who was unable to cultivate, so he went down in the world, if she did not rescue Ning Cheng, then Ning Cheng could only wait for his death. She was aware that she could not marry Ning Cheng, but also made up her mind that she would not remarry others. The reason why she proposed to help Ning Cheng take a bath, was because she was his fiance, and the only one who was willing to and could help Ning Cheng. But since Ning Cheng imed to be able to move by himself, she certainly would not help. The only thing that she could do before she advanced to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, was to help establishfortable living conditions for Ning Cheng. As her cultivation progressed, even if her face was disfigured, in the future, she would have to leave the Cang Qin Province, Ning Cheng would just end up bing a passer-by in her life. ...... After Ning Cheng took his bath, although he felt some pain, but he definitely felt a bit better than before. When he came out, Ji Luo Fei served the rice porridge that she had cooked. After eating the rice porridge, Ning Cheng finally had some colour and strength return to his face. These are for you; I must go back to the Academy. You can move now, so you can make what you want to eat. Ji Luo Fei said after she saw that Ning Cheng had eaten something. Besides him looking weak, there seemed to be no other difficulties. Taking out a package of silver coins, she handed it to Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng did not take the package of silver coins that Ji Luo Fei gave, he knew Ji Luo Feis meaning. Ji Luo Fei was a student of the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, and moreover was a good student. However, he remembered that he was also a student of this Academy, and immediately said, Since you are going to the Academy, of course I would also go. Ji Luo Fei was immediately surprised and stared at Ning Cheng, she knew that before Ning Cheng only went to the Academy because of his grandfathers oppression. Now that the Ning n was almost finished, he also did not have any more restraint, not only that, but now he was also thinking about going to the Academy? Besides, with his intelligence and aptitude, even if he went to the Academy, what would he be able to aplish? Ning Cheng, looking at Ji Luo Feis expression, immediately knew that he spoke his words hastily. He just thought, in this ce, if not for ones strength, he estimated that he could not live much longer. Thus, when Ji Luo Fei said that she was going back to the Academy, he also immediately wanted to go there together. But he forgot that he did not always go to the Academy, moreover he did not have the intelligence or the aptitude to cultivate, going to the Academy would not have much significance to him. Er.... I was afraid of my grandfathers scolding, now thinking that grandfather is gone .... Ning Cheng felt sad, but it was mainly because he was reminded of his great love towards Tian Mu Wan, that kind of sadness was not something that could be faked, and it came out naturally. When Ji Luo Fei heard Ning Cheng saying grandfather, her eyes were red, if not for Ning Chengs grandfather, he would not have Ji Luo Fei. Now that Ning Cheng mentioned his grandfather again, even Ji Luo Fei was affected. She filled Ning Chengs hands with the silver coins and said, You need to rest your body for now, I will try to find the time toe back and see you again, wait till your body is better, if you still want to go to the Academy, I will take you there After saying that, Ji Luo Fei turned and went out of the house, and soon disappeared. Ning Cheng looked at his hands that did not have a lot of silver coins in them, and then looked at the small ck stone house, he already understood that Ji Luo Feis financial condition was not good. In the future if he wanted to live this ce, he absolutely cannot rely solely on Ji Luo Fei. At this time, Ning Cheng was not rattled, he could feel that to survive here he would have to suffer many hardships, this world followed thew of the jungle. If you did not have enough strength to survive on your own, then you could only live under others foot, even if the Ning n possessed decent strength, they were also destroyedpletely in just one night. He was very clear that once his fiance advanced to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, they would take her away from him. Not to say about the two people that were not married, it would be true even if they were married. A cultivator at Qi Gathering 4th Level, for the Cang Qin Province, would be the focus of cultivation, and would definitely not allow a disabled person to follow by their side. Although he did try to cultivate in his n, but he did not have the aptitude, even after trying to cultivate for so many years he could not gather Qi, not to speak of advancing to the Qi Gathering 4th Level. Cannot cultivate, but also wanting to find a way to survive, Ning Cheng had secretly made up his mind, but sighed. It was unfortunate that he could not cultivate, if he was able to cultivate, on the face of this, someday he might be able to cultivate until he arrived at the Essence Building Realm, and then think of a way to return back to the Earth. Ning Cheng could not cultivate, but that didnt mean he that he didnt know about the different realms of the cultivation practice. He knows that the practice of cultivation had 9 realms, with 81 levels. However, he understood that the highest realm that was obtainable here, was the Essence Building Realm, from his memory, he found that in Cang Qin Provinces history there was only one person who was a cultivator in the Essence Building Realm. The realms that Ning Cheng could understand were only the first three C the Qi Gathering Realm, the True Condensation Realm and the Essence Building Realm. Qi Gathering Realm consists of umtion of Qi in the Meridians of the body, ording to the amount of umtion of Qi, this realm was divided into 9 levels. Ji Luo Fei was currently at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, between the Qi Gathering 3rd Level and the Qi Gathering 4th Level there existed a watershed. Although Cang Qin 2 Star Academy had a lot of students who were at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, but the number of students at the Qi Gathering 4th level was extremely few. When the cultivators reach a certain level, they will be qualified to enter the True Condensation Realm, at this time the Qi starts to truly transform into True Essence. Simr to the Qi Gathering Realm, the True Condensation Realm also has 9 levels, not only is the True Essence much more vigorous, it is even more sophisticated and exquisite, but the Essence Building Realm surpasses it. Even the Dean and Vice-Dean of the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy were only cultivators of the True Condensation Realm, and were some of the most powerful men in the Cang Qin Province. As for the Essence Building Realm, Cang Qin Province does not have anyone. Ning Cheng came from Earth, and also had heard a variety of cultivation legends. Moreover, on Earth there were some people who were able to cultivate, especially in the maind from where he came from, as such Ning Cheng was not surprised. Of course, as for why he had not learned to cultivate back there, it was simply because it was beyond the scope of his imagination. Ning Cheng knew that his own aptitude was very bad, and could not cultivate. In addition, with his body, even if he could recall some of the cultivation techniques of the Ning n, he would not be able to practice. To survive here, the first essential factor at the moment was to heal and recuperate his body. After Ji Luo Fei returned to the Academy, there was no further news of her. Ning Cheng also never got out, besides resting in the stone house, he only exercised his body in the front yard. A few dayster, Ning Cheng, although looked somewhat emaciated, but had actually slowly recovered. At least, he did not have any feeling of weakness. Ning Cheng felt that he could now go out and have a look. At least he wanted to look at the Cang Qin Provinces Capital Citys environment, he had to survive here, what else could he do? Chapter 0003 – Cang Le City Chapter 0003 C Cang Le City Cang Qin Provinces Capital, Cang Le City was very prosperous. Ning Cheng could recall many images of Cang Le City from his memories, but for the present Ning Cheng, this would be the first time for him to actually see and walk in Cang Le City. Cang Le City to Ning Cheng gave off the feeling of vicissitudes of life amidst prosperity, just like an old man whose strength was leaving him slowly, he walked somewhat unsteadily. Cang Le Citys streets criss-crossed freely, with each main street being very spacious on both sides, these streets intertwined together much like a spiders web. On both sides of the street, there were a variety of shops and stores. Many of these stores were selling things which Ning Cheng had not even heard about, let alone seeing. Most of the shops were engaged in sale and purchase of various fierce beast materials, low level Spiritual Grasses, and there were also some stores that sold weapons. Some of the stores were high-end, they sold various Artefacts and Medicinal Elixirs. As for those restaurants, ordinary clothing shops and brothels, they were just too many to count. There were all kinds of buildings in the Cang Le City, not only loft buildings, but there even was a castle built with a western architecture theme. The buildings were mixed together, which made the entire Cang Le City to appear somewhat nondescript. Ning Cheng, to have a clear look, came to a stop in front of the doorway of a shop who sold unusual weapons, he saw a very unusual long knife which was being sold for a price of one gold coin. But with all of Ji Luo Feis possessions, that were given to him, added up, it only amounted to 50 silver coins. One gold coin was equivalent to 100 silver coins. This meant that even with all his possessions, he could only buy half of an ordinary long knife. For those shops who sold various Artefacts and Medicinal Elixirs, Ning Cheng did not even go to check them out. He knew that these shops seldom collected gold coins, these shops used Qi Gathering Stones as payment. A Qi Gathering Stone can be exchanged for 100 gold coins, even if he still lived in his family home, a Qi Gathering Stone, for Ning Cheng, would have been a luxury item. Simrly, there were some hunters, who carried weapons, mixed into the crowd, walking on the streets. These people generally had a hint of bloody smell on them, this made it clear that they usually roamed outside and faced danger all year round. Although these kinds of people looked aggressive, but such people were quite popr in the Cang Le City. Mainly because they were very generous, and would very rarely ask to lower the price. Since these type of people lived a precarious life, except in the case of some who were qualified to practice cultivation, most of these hunters were inebriated with the wine that they drank today. They used all their gold coins to enjoy their life, not only did theye and go out of some high-end brothels, they also spilled a lot of gold coins on the prostitutes of the Cang Le City Ning Cheng was moving around while stillmenting in the myriad and flourishing streets, when a burst of sharp cry came from the end of the street. A young man dressed in white cloths, riding a white one horned beast, roared while he rushed from a distance. From afar, he looked like a bolt of lightning over a white shadow. The people on the streets immediately dodged to both sides, to avoid being hit directly and be sent flying by the one horned beast. This mass of white instantly came in front of Ning Chengs eyes, Ning Chengs reaction was very quick, since his body was almost restored, he was able to react almost instantaneously when he saw the white shadow. Ning Cheng had just turned, when at the same time, he saw on the middle of the street, a panic stricken little boy. At this time, the people on the street had responded quickly, but because of the little boys slow response, it was apparent that he would not be able to avoid the iing one horned beast. Ning Cheng put his hands behind the back of the little boy and rapidly pulled him back up, as he rushed to the edge of the street. While Ning Cheng was making his way to the streets edge, the white one horned beast roared past the side of Ning Cheng, the whipped up wind caused Ning Chengs eyes to water. Seeing that the little boy was safe and sound, Ning Cheng sighed in relief, in his heart he thought that the one horned beast was not a wild beast, it was very likely because the rider had lost control while running on the street. It was at this time that the beast which was running madly just a while ago stopped suddenly, and not only that, the beast turned, and unexpectedly walked and arrived in front of Ning Cheng. Dare to ruin my interest, die...... said the white man sitting on the back of the one horned beast as he took out a whip andshed out at Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng immediately wanted to escape, but he found that he could not escape the whip which was in front of him. The long whip brought up an invisible force, which suppressed him, making it toote to be able to dodge or avoid it. Ning Chengs heart sank, he didnt even have the time to question it, when another force lifted him up. The next moment, the whip streaked across his eyes, as even the front part of his robe was lifted up. Someone had saved him, Ning Cheng immediately realized it soon after it happened, at the same time he also realized that this white one horned beast which was running madly on the main street a moment ago, was also doing so in deliberation. This beasts owner went so far as to hit people for amusement, and him pulling the boy away seemed to have dampened the other partys pleasure. After Ning Cheng understood this, his heart immediately sank. This ce was not Earth, and it seemed like apletely reasonable thing to just go overboard. He saved the little boy, but at the same time, offended the white robed man who was looking for pleasure. That white robed man on the one horned beast seeing Ning Cheng being pulled away by a person, immediately became angry. However, when he saw the one who had saved Ning Cheng, his anger immediately extinguished, even his tone became genial as he said: So it is Su Jie, ah, this is just an outcaste.... The white robed man sitting on the one horned beast spoke, as he jumped down from the beasts saddle. Xian Yuan Kui, you and I dont have a good rtionship, me rescuing the outcaste also has nothing to do with you. A clear, crisp but cold female voice sounded, while simultaneously Ning Cheng saw a young girl, who wore a very gentle and graceful pink dress. Ning Cheng knew that it was this girl who had saved him. However, Ning Cheng actually did not go forward to express his gratitude, he knew this woman. Her name was Jian Su Jie, it can be said that she was the enemy of the Ning n, the Ning n and his family was destroyed because of her. Looking at this beautiful ice-cold face before his eyes, Ning Cheng couldnt recall how his predecessor had been discourteous to her, but he truly remembered that Ning Cheng actually liked her very much. Although his predecessor also had a good family background, however it was reasonable to say that it was very unlikely that he wouldnt be aware that he and Jian Su Jie were poles apart from each other, and even if he was fond of her, he could only keep it in his heart and absolutely would not engage in any indecent thing. Besides,pared to Jian Su Jie, his predecessor was an idiot, moreover it waspletely impossible to repair the cracks between him and Jian Su Jie now. Compared with Jian Su Jie, even if Ning Cheng did not say anything indecent, was it difficult to imagine what would happen if he approached her? It looked like his predecessor was indecent towards Jian Su Jie, and was finally thrown into prison, it was not something that was strange in this ce. The white robed man called Xian Yuan Kui having abruptly bumped into Jian Su Jie here, felt his face immediately be red. But then he recognized Ning Cheng, Hey, arent you Ning Cheng? You did not die? Elder Sister Jian, this boy ...... Xian Yuan Kui eventually did not dare call out to Su Jie call again, as his words were yet again interrupted by Jian Su Jie, You dont need to worry about that, and dont let your beast run wildly around in the crowded streets. Having finished speaking, Jian Su Jie turned and stared coldly at Ning Cheng, If I were you, I would go crouch in a corner like a tortoise, and not have the face to go out shopping in the streets. Ning Cheng sneered in his heart, but did not pay much mind to Jian Su Jie, as he turned around to walk. Not knowing how to appreciate favours. Xian Yuan Kui seeing Ning Cheng unexpectedly ignore Jian Su Jie, immediately lost his cool, and cursed at his back. Jian Su Jie was used to seeing the appearance of Ning Cheng trying to curry favour from her, but at this time seeing him not even paying attention to his saviour, she immediately frowned. However, she did not have to say anything as Xian Yuan Kui had already said what she wanted to say, she just turned and left in another direction. There was no longer any ideas in Ning Chengs heart of being able to survive in this ce, if one couldnt cultivate, then one would not have the strength, resulting in not much hope of being able to live. At this point, how could he have the mood to go shopping? He wanted to cultivate, even if he was unable to cultivate, in order to survive he had to cultivate as his life depended on it. Dad, he is the one who saved me. A crisp voice sounded out from the side, Ning Cheng turned his head to see the young boy who he had just saved from getting trampled under the beasts feet. Ning Cheng, because of the things just now, had forgotten about the little boy, he didnt think that this young boy would still remember him. At this time, the little boy was dragging along a middle-aged man whose entire face was covered with scars. This middle-aged man was obviously the father of the young boy. Ning Cheng thought that the middle-aged man wanted to say thanks, thus he stopped, and was ready to say a few kind words to him. No one thought that when the middle aged man saw him, a look of panic would emerge in his eyes, he quickly bowed to Ning Cheng and said, Young Master Ning, I am sorry, this child naively collided with the Young Master, Ill take him away...... After that, he did not even wait for Ning Cheng to reply, as he pulled the little boy up and got away fast, and soon disappeared among the crowd. Ning Cheng touched his thin face, and shook his head, he did not know the middle aged man, but could feel that he was afraid of him as the Young Master. But such a trivial matter, Ning Cheng did not mind, for him, the most important thing now was to practice cultivation. If he could not cultivate, he would have to try other methods, or leave the Cang Qin Province, for surviving he must search for other methods. Chapter 0004 – The Secret Within The Body Chapter 0004 C The Secret Within The Body Coming back to the stone house again, Ning Cheng first tried to remember the Cultivation Methods that he learned before. His predecessor originally did not like practicing cultivation, that coupled with his poor aptitude and intelligence in this field, ended up with no progress in cultivation, even more, he did not have the strength to practice. But at the moment, Ning Cheng desperately tried to recall the Cultivation Method of the Ning n that was passed down from generation to generation. Fortunately, although Ning Chengs grandfather Ning Hong Chang pampered him, he also forcefully made him practice and drilled into him the basic elements of the Ning ns Cultivation Method After Ning Cheng repeatedly tried to recall the details of the Cultivation Method from his memories, he finally remembered the First Mnemonics of the Ning ns Cultivation Method, as well as the information about the Acupuncture Points and Meridians through which Qi had to be circted. ording to what he remembered of the First Mnemonic of the Ning ns Cultivation Method, Ning Cheng cautiously sensed the Qi outside to allows it to enter his Meridians. He had already done this many times in his past life so he was prepared, he was aware of his own talent, if his Qi sensing was good, he would not have to wait until today to gather Qi. Buzz.... just when Ning Cheng started to sense and gather Qi, his Meridians gave a sharp sound, this sound could be heard clearly, it was followed by an intense pain that filled Ning Chengs body. The next moment, a thick and strong force dispersed throughout his whole body, almost tearing it apart. But at this time Ning Cheng felt that, if he was even a slightly careless, the Meridians in his entire body would bepletely torn apart, and he would end being bing truly useless. Ning Cheng was panic stricken, he did not dare to bex even for half a minute, aggregating his spirit to guide the sudden increase in Qi. ording to the First Mnemonic of the Ning ns Cultivation Method that he remembered, he had to guide it through the Meridians in his body by breathing in a specific way. With his careful guidance of Qi along his Meridians, his body, which Ning Cheng felt would soon rupture, began to gradually rx. As the time passed, Ning Cheng became immersed in the state of cirction of Qi in his Meridians, which felt just like a trace of warm water flowing, as it proliferated his entire body. He was vaguely aware that some of the Meridians that were blocked, began to naturally open. As a trace of this warm feeling passed through the Meridians, traces of impurities were squeezed out from the pores of his body A kind of warmfortable feeling rose in Ning Chengs body, in a way that he could feel even when his consciousness was shielded from his senses. Ning Cheng could feel that what he was cultivating before whenpared to now had some differences. In his memory, practicing meant sensing the Qi from the outside, and then passing it through ones Meridians, thereby allowing it to be absorbed by the body. But at this point, he felt that, although he has not even absorbed the Qi from the outside for more than half a minute. But in his body, there already seemed to be a thick quantity of Qi, so when he started cultivating just now, this Qi filled his Meridians. This Qi was like fine threads of hot water, which automatically squeezed out the impurities from his body, and even automatically burst through his blocked Meridians and then circted through those previously blocked Meridians. He did not know how long it took, before Ning Cheng felt his whole body tremble, and he suddenly opened his eyes. The world suddenly became clear, he even seemed to forget that the Qi circting in his body had disappeared. A kind of rxed feeling welled up in his heart, the previous Ning Cheng was a fool, as he had unknowingly seeded in gathering Qi, and was already a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 1st Level. Was cultivation so simple? Not at all, if cultivation was so simple, then he wouldnt have gone so many years without gathering Qi, and at the same time, in the Cang Qin Province there would have been many more people who could gather Qi. Ning Cheng calcted the time that he cultivated, he confirmed that he had not cultivated for more than a day, but in just one days time, he unexpectedly reached the Qi Gathering 1st Level, if he said this to others, no one would even dare to believe it. What the hell was going on? At this time, Ning Cheng had forgotten about the smell of the impurities that were flushed out from his body, and sat down again to meditate. Not only was he not a fool, he knew how to protect himself. Before his rebirth, Ning Cheng knew that he was not ordinary, as he was gifted with photographic memory along with a heaven defying ability to understand andprehend, it simply made him an unparalleled existence. Because such a fearful ability went against the heavens will, it made Ning Cheng dare not disclose it. He only wanted to live a simple life, and after his younger sister graduated, he would have gone to seek his own simple life. He was very clear on what this particr ability represented, as long as there was even a little bit of exposure, he would be the focus of attention. From then on, he would not have the freedom to live an ordinary or simple life that he desired. This was also the reason why Ning Cheng preferred to work at the construction site, as he did not want to use his ability for the sake of money. He knew that, if he picked a second choice, as soon as he started, it would be hard to stop, in the end he would end up being noticed by the people. If not for his encounter with Tian Mu Wan, he would have not even entered the University. The only thing that he did not expect was that he would be reborn in this ce after he lost his love. Ning Cheng was sure that his cultivation and what the others practiced were different, others cultivated by absorbing Qi from the outside, but in his own body there already seemed to be a pure and thick Qi, this Qi allowed him to quickly gather even more Qi, moreover he was even promoted to Qi Gathering 1st Level. Having always been cautious, Ning Cheng was trying to figure out what was going on. His body seemed to have a source, this source provided such a pure and thick Qi, that it even allowed his cultivation speed to soar, it even disregarded his aptitude for practicing cultivation. Unfortunately, Ning Cheng knew very little about the practice of cultivation, he only knew some information which was obtained from his predecessors memory, it can even be said to be extremely poor. His predecessor was definitely not a very good person, if his aptitude for cultivation was good, he would not have waited until now to gather Qi. But the way he practiced was so simple, the only possibility he could think of was that something might have happened during his rebirth. Ning Cheng remembered that a yellow light had pierced through him that came from the horizon. Could this mysterious yellow light have a rtionship with his cultivation speed? Leaving aside the things that he could not understand, Ning Cheng emerged from his house, and started to clean his body. When Ning Cheng had just finished cleaning his body with the water from the well, he discovered that some of the scars on his body had faded and even his skin seemed to have a fairplexion. Ning Cheng, although could not gather Qi, he was still a student of the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, and also a member of the Ning n, as a result he did know something about the practice of cultivation. He knew that cultivators recovered from their wounds quickly, but it was definitely not as fast as him. The scars on his body were very clear yesterday, but today when he reached the Qi Gathering 1st Level, they had faded down a lot, which was a bit unusual. There was a sound of rushing footsteps, these footsteps were obviously rushing towards the yard where he was, which made Ning Cheng startled in his heart. He had lived here only for a few days, but no one had evere over, now that he could hear the sounds of footsteps, he knew that their aim was obviously him. Ning Cheng simply had no time to ponder, as he hastily got inside the house, took out some clean clothes and wore them rapidly. Ning Cheng had just worn his clothes, when a somewhat anxious looking Ji Luo Fei pushed the door and entered. Why did youe back? seeing Ji Luo Fei, Ning Cheng sighed in relief. Because he had offended Xian Yuan Kui before, his heart was somewhat restless. Ji Luo Fei seeing that Ning Cheng was all right, secretly rxed, and said with a t tone, I heard that you offended Xian Yuan Kui......... Ning Cheng thought Ji Luo Fei would start to criticize him and did not let her take the initiative and said, It was he who provoked me, even if this sort of thing happened one more time, I would stille to the rescue. Let a little boy get trampled to death in front of own eyes or save him, Ning Cheng, without a doubt, would not have just stood and watched, refusing to take any action. For him, if he had let the little boy get trampled to death in front of his own eyes, thenter, he would not be able to let go of the guilt that he would have surely felt. Contrary to what Ning Cheng thought, Ji Luo Fei unexpectedly said in a slow tone, Xian Yuan Kuis status in the Cang Qin Province is not ordinary, if you continue to stay here then you will definitely die, huh .... Ji Luo Fei stopped there, and looked at Ning Cheng intently, after some time she said, You were sessful in gathering Qi? This smell inside the house, is it due to the impurities from your body? Ning Chen knew that Ji Luo Fei already smelled the odour when she came in, but she did not say it to his face. Now that she sensed his Qi, she just blurted it out. Yeah, I just returned from having felt something, just cultivated a bit, I did not think that I could gather Qi sessfully, it was really lucky. Ning Cheng replied with an awkward and somewhat embarrassed smile. Ji Luo Fei after listening to Ning Chengs words, did not answer immediately, instead stared at Ning Cheng and sized him up from top to bottom for a while. Ning Cheng wanted to ask Ji Luo Fei, when suddenly he felt his heart tighten, he understood the meaning of Ji Luo Feis words. Ji Luo Fei was with him a few days ago, with his body in that condition, it would have been somewhat difficult to even restore his health, how was it possible for him to arrive at the Qi Gathering 1st Level? It was obvious that he had a secret, if Ji Luo Fei could see it, then why cant other people not tell the difference? He had just gotten out of prison, surely everyone knew about it. Although Ning Cheng did not know what the secret in his body was, however would others think that, they might just split him up to examine this so called secret. Luo Fei, I have already reached the Qi Gathering 1st Level, and thus I would also like to go to the Academy. Ning Cheng soon understood his situation. For him, this time, only the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy could save his life. If he stayed outside, it was quite possible for him to be killed off any time. Ji Luo Fei was still apprehensive with what secret Ning Chengs body held, but after listening to Ning Chengs words, she put those thoughts to one side. Ning Cheng always called her girl, now unexpectedly it had changed to Luo Fei. Does suffering really make a person grow so quickly? She reacted quickly, now was not the time to think about these things. She then says, I came back to let you temporarily go to Academy. Since by all means, you have a personal presence on the outside, I think they cannot overlook you in the same way. But you are not a student of the Academy anymore, so you will not be able to attend the sses of the Academy. Elder Mu, head of the Academys Cultivation Rooms, is very good, he helped me a lot. I told him about your matter, you can go there to give Elder Mu a hand, and work as the Academys handyman I dont have a problem. Ning Cheng immediately epted, as long as he could preserve his life temporarily. Ning Cheng knew that there were secrets in his body, but he believed that with his cultivation speed, he would soon have the ability to protect himself. Ji Luo Fei nodded, Go to the Cultivation Rooms to help, at least if your Qi gathering is sessful. I came back with a piece of Qi Gathering Stone this time, wanted to help you out with your Qi Gathering. I did not think you would seed in gathering Qi, it could not be any better. We will wait here for a few days, and then go to the Academy. Ning Cheng was very clever, he understood why Ji Luo Fei came over immediately, Ji Luo Fei knew that him sessfully advancing to the Qi Gathering 1st Level was definitely unusual, and thus took the initiative to stay for a few days. In the future, even if people woulde to know that he could gather Qi, it would be assumed because of her help. Ning Cheng was just about to thank her, when he saw Ji Luo Feis face seemed a bit wrong, it was pale and white. Chapter 0005 – Yi Xing Mainland Chapter 0005 C Yi Xing Maind Are you okay? Ning Cheng asked, as all of a sudden, Ji Luo Fei staggered, Ning Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to support her. Ji Luo Feis body emitted a soft fragrance, however there was also a faint smell of blood mixed with it. Ji Luo Fei did not wait for Ning Cheng to continue to inquire, shoving Ning Cheng aside, said, Im fine, I am going to take rest first. I wille out after a little while to speak with you. After she finished speaking, Ji Luo Fei entered into a nearby room. Ning Cheng looked at his palm. Shockingly, on his palm, there appeared a faint trace of a bloodstain. Ning Cheng instantly understood that Ji Luo Fei had sustained some serious injuries. A moment ago, when he was supporting Ji Luo Feis back, the condition of her injuries could be clearly seen. He looked towards Ji Luo Feis room, Ning Cheng hesitated a bit, but did not go in. Ji Luo Fei was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level and so her recovery ability was much higher than his. It could be clearly seen that the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy was also not a safe region. ...... Ji Luo Fei was attracted by the fragrance of food, she had also changed into a new set of clothes. Ning Cheng saw that after she rested for a while, her face was not as pale as before. This is your doing? asked Ji Luo Fei in a surprised tone as she looked at the small wooden table which wasid with four dishes and a soup. In her memory, when did Ning Cheng ever cook a meal? Moreover, even the food that he made looked very appetizing? Ning Cheng smiled, Of Course, I made it. Come over and have a bite. Ji Luo Fei was obviously not a very talkative person. Although she was surprised that Ning Cheng could cook a meal, but she did not ask about it. She did not know whether the food Ning Cheng made was delicious or if she was really hungry. Even after she finished eating several bowls of the food, she still felt like she was not full. After they finished eating, Ning Cheng hurried to tidy up the dishes. Wait. Ji Luo Fei stopped Ning Cheng by calling out to him and said, These dishes, I will clean them up, you do not have to do these...... Ji Luo Fei, did not even finished speaking, when she thought of some issues. Ning Cheng definitely didnt cook this, how could he prepare such a delicious food? She promptly corrected herself, Would you please first sit down, there is something that I have to say to you. After waiting for Ning Cheng to sit down, Ji Luo Fei took the initiative and took out two very thin leather books and ced them in Ning Chengs hands and said, This was left by your grandfather, he left it with me to give it to youter. Now that you can sessfully gather Qi, I should give this to you. Ning Cheng silently took the two thin books, he was very clear on what was going on. This was because his predecessors grandfather, although spoiled and pampered Ning Cheng, he also knew what kind of person he was. These leather books must be the Ning familys heirloom Cultivation Method. These were given to Ji Luo Fei to be passed on to him. But Ji Luo Feis reason to give him the leather books, was not because of his sess in Qi gathering, but because she felt that the present Ning Cheng and the past Ning Cheng werepletely different. Seeing Ning Cheng receive the leather books, Ji Luo Fei sighed, she seemed to be d that she hadpleted this matter. She, once more, took out a small wooden box and handed it to Ning Cheng and said, Inside this is a Qi Gathering Stone, you can use it to practice your cultivation. The present Ning Cheng was already not a beginner; he knew that Qi Gathering Stones were very precious. A single Qi Gathering Stone was equivalent to one hundred gold coins, however this was just a set price and one hundred gold coins were absolutely not enough to actually buy a Qi Gathering Stone. Even the Ning n didnt have much of it but now Ji Luo Fei was giving him one, he immediately refused and said, Luo Fei, I can already cultivate Qi. You are currently at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level and you will require many Qi Gathering Stones during this period so you need not give it to me. Ji Luo Fei forcefully stuffed the wooden box into the hands of Ning Cheng and said, Ill let you take it, you know that I am already at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level. With my qualifications, I suppose I will by leaving the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy soon, at that time you will be on your own...... Ning Cheng, after listening to Ji Luo Feis words, no longer refused to take the wooden box. He received the wooden box and with a sigh he said, Luo Fei, in the past, I was naive and not quite sensible, please forgive me for having made you angry in any way. You know that my aptitude and qualifications are not good, in the future you are going to leave the Cang Qin Province, we will then no longer have the opportunities to meet. Fortunately, although we were engaged when we young, but we have still not married. When you get promoted to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, we would be people of two different worlds, anyhow, let us give up on this engagement immediately, all these years you suffered great inconveniences in the Ning mansion...... Now that the Ning mansion was burnt to ashes, Ning Cheng must also give up on his engagement to Ji Luo Fei Ji Luo Fei stared at Ning Cheng, she did not think that Ning Cheng would say such a thing. But she was very clear that what Ning Cheng told was the truth, once she left the Cang Qin Province, there would be no chance for her and Ning Cheng to meet. My life was saved by Grandpa Ning, without Grandpa Ning, there would not have been a Ji Luo Fei. What you said is right, after I leave Cang Qin Province, we probably will not have the opportunity to meet again. Let alone that, I also have a disfigured face, so us being married is also unrealistic, but I also know that I will be faithful till the end of the world. This betrothal wasid down by Grandpa Ning and my Grandfather, without their words, I will not dissolve it. But in the future, after Im gone, you have to take care of yourself, as I am sure you would have no way to follow me around for the rest of your life. Ji Luo Fei finished, stood up, picked up a few dirty dishes and put them in the kitchen. She had clearly stated to Ning Cheng, that when she left Cang Qin Province, she would not have any opportunity to meet Ning Cheng. With her qualifications, if she wanted to forcibly stay to take care of Ning Cheng, then he would just end up dying quickly. Now that Ning Cheng was already at the Qi Gathering 1st Level, regardless of how he advanced, it made Ji Luo Fei a little bitforted. Ning Cheng was very smart, how can he not understand the meaning of Ji Luo Feis words? He knew that in the future when Ji Luo Fei left the Cang Qin Province, he wouldnt be able to meet her, because of this, he offered to dissolve the marriage, mostly because Ji Luo Fei did have any fond memories to hang onto in the future. After all, Ji Luo Fei saved his life, he can only help Ji Luo Fei in such a way. Now that Ji Luo Fei did not agree, he was also not willing to say anymore. Ning Cheng returned to his room, and first took out the Qi Gathering Stone. In his memory there was information about the Qi Gathering Stones, but he had never seen one. Now that Ji Luo Fei brought back a Qi Gathering Stone, Ning Cheng wanted to know what made this stone so valuable, although 100 gold coins can be used to purchase a Qi Gathering Stone, one may not necessarily be able to buy it, as this price was not in any way low. When the Qi Gathering Stone was taken out by Ning Cheng for the first time, Ji Luo Fei was able to sense it, she peeked at Ning Cheng in his room, as she saw that the corners of Ning Chengs mouth revealed a trace of smile. Although Ning Cheng did not have his yboy attitude from before, his face was still somewhat childish. His mouth was slightly open when he saw the Qi Gathering Stone, this was clearly the first time that he saw a Qi Gathering Stone. Ji Luo Fei was able to sense the Qi Gathering Stone in Ning Chengs hands, but Ning Cheng was confused, when he saw that it was just a very ordinary looking dark yellow stone, in his heart he felt a bit disappointed. The Qi contained in the stone seemed to be richer, but Ning Cheng felt that this Qi and the one present inside him, simply couldnt bepared. Putting the Qi Gathering Stone away, Ning Cheng took out the two leather books. One book introduced the history of the Ning n, and the other was the Cultivation Method of the Ning n that was passed down from generation to generation. After reading the first book, Ning Cheng came to know a bit more of this world. Cang Qin Province was just a tiny province of the Ping Continent, and was just in the corner of the Yi Xing Maind. There were nine great continents on the Yi Xing maind, but the Qi in the Ping Continent was the scarcest, this province in which he resided, the Cang Qin Province, was regarded as a mortal country as it was mostly upied by ordinary humans. It belonged to the lowest ss in the maind. In the Yi Xing Maind, the power distribution wasplex. As the Ning n, since the beginning of their history, only had one member who was able to advance to the Essence Building Realm, as such they did not have a very thorough understanding of the Yi Xing Maind. Ning Cheng, from this thin book could only make out the main forces of Yi Xing Maind, the various countries, vassal states, Academies, family ns and some low levelled sects. The Academies were among the strongest powers of a continent and every continent possessed many vassal states or provinces under it. Vassal states also were divided ording to their strength; the highest position was held by a 3 Star Vassal State. A 1 Star Vassal State was basically ssified as a mortal country, at most having only some ordinary military cultivation. The Cang Qin Province was only a 1 Star Vassal State. If not for the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, the Cang Qin Province would be the same as a mortal country. Also, Academies were different, at a low level continent, the highest rank of the Academy was only a 5 Star. In a low level continent, a 3 Star Academy was equivalent to a 3 Star Vassal State. If a vassal state had a 5 Star Academy, then that Academy would be the one who ran that Vassal State. On the thin book, there was an after-note which said of a legend of a 9 Star Academy in the Yi Xing Maind, but the Ning n did not have any experts that could go out to verify its authenticity. Closing the thin book, Ning Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. He didnt know how big the Yi Xing Maind was, but from this book, he could guess how iparably vast it was. Even the Cang Qin Province was estimated to be equivalent to only a grain of dust on the Yi Xing Maind. Even though the Ning n had a cultivator at the Essence Building Realm, but they were still unable to move away from the Yi Xing Mainds low level Ping Continent. It could clearly be seen that the idea of Ning Cheng, who thought that he could return to Earth just by reaching the Essence Building Realm, was simply childish. The reason why the Ning n had been able to gain a foothold in the Cang Qin Province was because they had served the Cang Qin Provinces Royal Family for generations. Even so, the Cang Qin Provinces Royal Family didnt even say a word when the Ning n was wiped out. Even if Ning Cheng came from Earth, his heart was very ufortable. The cold nature of Cang Qin Provinces Royal Family wasnt worth anything for him to die for. Opening the second leather book, Ning Cheng thought it was Ning ns Cultivation Method. Reading the introductory sentence, it said that this Cultivation Method was at the top tier among the ordinary rank Cultivation Methods. When Ning Cheng saw this, he was a bit disappointed, top tier but merely of the ordinary rank Cultivation Methods. The 9 Levels of Qi Gathering were written in a very detailed manner in the thin leather book, also there were somements and illustrations too. Ning Cheng looked ahead, he recalled that the 1st Level described in the Cultivation Method was more or less the same. He attempted to circte his Qi ording to the Qi pattern and in a while, a stream of lukewarm water like Qi flowed out from his Dantian. Ning Cheng was shocked, he wanted to stop his cultivation but in his mind, suddenly a new Meridian had emerged and his Qi started circting through it. This new Qi flow was clearly different from the description on the Ning ns Cultivation Methods Mnemonic Chant. Not only that, Ning Cheng felt that if he cultivated his Qi ording to the Cultivation Method which his mind produced, the effects could be even better. Chapter 0006 – Concealment Technique Chapter 0006 C Concealment Technique Ning Cheng was stunned by his own notion. He forcibly stopped his cultivation. He was merely a cultivator of the Qi Gathering 1st Level, as for his level ofprehension of the cultivation, it could be said that he was at the most primitive level. If someone else had said that his amateurish knowledge of the Qi Gathering 1st Level, was even better than the Ning ns Cultivation Method, even he himself wouldnt believe it. Even if the Ning ns Cultivation Method were of the Ordinary Rank, it hade into existence after being revised ording to the experiences of many people, under countless years of time. Why was he able to identify the shorings of this Cultivation Method, and also able to correct them? Despite wanting to give it a try again, Ning Cheng still held back the idea. He knew that the practice of cultivation was without an end, even without modifying the method, one could still cultivate to the Qi Gathering 2nd Level. His understanding the Qi Gathering 1st Level was already shaky, now if he again advanced to the Qi Gathering 2nd Level, he truly wouldnt know how to exin it. Although he wanted to urgently improve his cultivation level, but before that, he wanted to find a suitable reason or an appropriate method that would help him. Whats more, he was also able to find a more suitable Qi Meridian for the Cultivation Method which was in itself, very strange. Because of this kind of matter, he didnt dare to proceed as he was not clear about it. However, Ning Cheng was bing even more excited, even if he didnt have the ability to modify the Cultivation Method, he wouldnt need to worry about his poor aptitude of being unable to cultivate. Within his body, there seemed to be an iparablyrge source for practicing cultivation, if this kind of situation always continued, even he did not know up to what extent would he be able to increase his cultivation? Perhaps up to the True Condensation Realm or maybe even the Essence Building Realm. Not continuing with the cultivation practice, Ning Cheng began to study that thin leather book that contained the Ning ns Cultivation Method. Although this book contained an Ordinary Rank Cultivation Method, it had detailed information from the Qi Gathering 1st Level to all the way up to the Qi Gathering 9th Level. Furthermore, there were even some detailedments and notes written by the Elders of the Ning n regarding the methods. To Ning Chengs surprise, on the back of this cultivation book, there were also some simple magical arts. These magical arts, apart from the Fireball Technique and the Wind-Edge Technique, there was also the Imperial Wind Technique. Originally, Ning Cheng was very interested in the Imperial Wind Technique. The Imperial Wind Technique was introduced for the cultivators at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level and it allowed one to traverse through the air for almost a few dozen feet. If he had not caught sight of the Concealment Technique, then he would definitely have cultivated the Imperial Wind Technique. Reading the introduction of the Concealment Technique made Ning Cheng feel that, at the present, this was what he needed the most. The Concealment Technique allowed cultivators to conceal their cultivation level, this clearly made Ning Cheng excited. He had a heavy secret within his body, for the time being no matter what kind of secret it was, his rapid cultivation speed was a fact. If he could hide his cultivation level, then what would there be anything to worry about? Ning Cheng wasnt happy for long, before bing disappointed again. This Concealment Technique was merely an Ordinary Grade Magic Art, even if he cultivated it to its peak, ording to its information, it could only conceal up to three levels below. Even if he aplished it, he would only be able to cheat those at the Qi Gathering Realm, wanting to cheat those cultivators who were at the True Condensation Realm or above was impossible. Cang Qin Provinces True Condensation cultivators, although few, they still existed. He recalled from his memories, that Cang Qin 2 Star Academys Vice-Dean was a cultivator of the True Condensation Realm. Even after knowing that, Ning Cheng had already decided to learn the Concealment Technique. Ning Cheng was already at the Qi Gathering 1st Level, moreover he had photographic memory and in addition to that, he also had a very powerfulprehension ability. Despite this being the first time that he had been in contact with a Magic Technique, hepletely understood the Cultivation Method within an hour. Just as Ning Cheng began to cultivate the Concealment Technique, after some period of time, a gentle stream of Qi rose from his Dantian. Within his mind, yet once again, there appeared some new directions for the Concealment Technique. However, this time, Ning Cheng didnt stop, he only hesitated for a bit. Out of nowhere, the mnemonic chants for the practice of the Concealment Technique appeared in his mind. He felt the mnemonic chants which appeared out of nowhere in his mind, were even better than the chants for the Concealment Technique which he had previously read. Or rather, the Cultivation Method which appeared in his mind was a new Concealment Technique which was created after modifying and improving the base of the original Concealment Technique. Ning Cheng was not clear about what was going on, he vaguely sensed that this and the earlier golden explosion had some kind of rtion. He decided to cultivate ording to the modified Concealment Technique and if he found anything wrong, he would then immediately stop. However, after Ning Cheng began to cultivate, he did not find anything wrong. The Qi within his bodys Meridians began circting freely, without any sluggishness. Soon, Ning Cheng was once again immersed in the cultivation of the Magic Technique. When Ning Cheng woke up, he found that he had already made a small aplishment in the cultivation of his first Magic Technique. Ning Cheng tried using the Concealment Technique that he just learned to try and hide his own cultivation, unexpectedly it was quite easy and the Qi fluctuations werepletely concealed, without any dy. So good. Ning Cheng subconsciously blurted out. He didnt know whether this Concealment Technique was a good thing, or him being able to automatically correct any Cultivation Method was a good thing. Ning Cheng had just said these words, when he heard Ji Luo Feis voice from the outside, Since you are not cultivating, thene out to eat. When Ning Cheng heard Ji Luo Feis voice, only then did hee to realize, that he had stayed in the room overnight and now it was already morning. Regarding cultivation, time really was of little value, he did not have the feeling that the night had already passed. What went wrong with your cultivation? after Ji Luo Fei saw Ning Chenge out, she immediately stood up in amazement once again, she couldnt feel any Qi fluctuations from Ning Chengs body. In other words, she, at the moment, couldnt see Ning Chengs cultivation level, to be said exactly, ording to what she sensed, Ning Cheng basically had no cultivation at all. Ning Cheng only then reacted, he thought the reason must be because he had used the Concealment Technique, and immediately said, I feel my level is still not stable, sometimes there is a response from my Qi and sometimes there is no response. Even if Ji Luo Fei was his fiance, Ning Cheng still did not want to reveal his secret. He was aware that if he hadnt followed the modified Cultivation Method for the Concealment Technique, then it would have been fundamentally impossible for him to achieve sess in it, especially in a single night. This kind of method correcting secret, was simply too formidable. If he was an expert, it wouldnt be a problem but the crucial point was that he had only just recently came in contact with cultivation. Ji Luo Feis cultivation level was quite low, she didnt know anything about this kind of situation. She frowned and after a while said, Although you are able to gather Qi now, your cultivation level is still not fully stabilized. Use the Qi Gathering Stone for some days, it ought to stabilize your level. Before that, eat some food. Ning Cheng saw that the breakfast was already prepared and ced on the small wooden table, and at once said, Thank You. Both had a lot on their minds so they ate their breakfast in silence. Finished eating, Ning Cheng proceeded to return to his room to cultivate, Ji Luo Fei also didnt ask. A few days passed by, Ning Cheng, in the past few days, had wholeheartedly devoted himself to cultivating the Concealment Technique. As for the Fireball and Wind Edge Technique, he only memorized them and didnt cultivate. He knew that trying to cultivate these kind of Magic Techniques inside his room was not suitable. On this day, Ji Luo Fei saw that Ning Cheng seemed to have stabilized his cultivation level at the Qi Gathering 1st Level, only then she said to Ning Cheng, Your Qi Gathering 1st Level ought to be stable now, we will go to the Academy today. Okay. Ning Cheng didnt have any hesitation, even if Ji Luo Fei hadnt said anything, he intended to remind her. The past few days, Ning Cheng always felt that there were some people secretly sneaking around this small stone house, if not for Ji Luo Fei being here, maybe someone would have alreadye and taken him away. ...... Cang Qin 2 Star Academy in the Cang Qin Province had an exceedingly high status, so much so that its status was said to be even a bit higher than the Cang Qin Province itself. Because the Academys Vice Dean, Yong Zhang Yan was a member of Cang Qin Provinces Royal Family, Cang Qin 2 Star Academy was also considered to be the other half of Cang Qins Royalty. In the memory of Ning Cheng, Cang Qin 2 Star Academy was quite big. Because Ning Cheng originally, didnt always go over and also loathed the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, so, at present, Ning Cheng didnt have a clear memory of it. Now that he had followed Ji Luo Fei to the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, only then did he be aware of the reason why the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy was regarded as the highest power in the Cang Qin Province. Cang Qin 2 Star Academys architecture was somewhat simr to a western-like castle grounds which covered an iparablyrge area withrge swaths of forest. Looking from a distance, it looked extremely imposing. Ning Cheng knew pretty well about the Cang Qin Provinces Capital City and he was sure that the Cang Qin Provinces Capital City was not equal to this Two Star Academy. Standing at the gate of the Academy, Ning Cheng could clearly feel that the Spiritual Qi here was many times denser than other ces. In front of the Academys gate, was a public za of several hundred feet, and in the middle of the huge public za, there was a huge elevated stage. Seeing Ning Cheng stare at the huge elevated stage, Ji Luo Fei lightly said, That ce is the Duelling tform, if the cultivators of the Academy have any resentments, disputes, gambling or even Life or Death grievances they can settle them on the Duelling tform. Previously, there was no Duelling tform here. Because, all the 3 Star and above Academies have this kind of a Duelling tform, and the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy also wanted topete with the 3 Star Academies, as a result they built this Duelling tform. After she finished speaking, Ji Luo Fei repeatedly warned Ning Cheng, After you help out in the Cultivation Rooms, as much as possible, donte out, also dont provoke and start a feud with other people. Otherwise it would be quite difficult to avoid going on to the Duelling tform. Ning Cheng was puzzled and asked, If other people tried to find me for a duel, am I not allowed to fight? You cant. Ji Luo Fei gave a concise answer, and after she finished, did not wait for Ning Cheng to speak again and had already entered through the Academys gate. Ning Cheng immediately followed after Ji Luo Fei and entered the Academy when a clear, distinct voice reached their ears, ......... Cang Qin 2 Star Academy will select ten disciples to participate in the selection for the Falling Star 5 Star Academy......... Ji Luo Fei didnt seem to hear it, however Ning Cheng almost stumbled. This sound, he absolutely didnt mishear, this was definitely a sound broadcast. What are you standing there for? Ji Luo Fei turned around and asked, seeing Ning Cheng stand in a daze. Is this a broadcast? Ning Cheng stood at the original spot and mumbled, he seemed to have returned to the ce where he previously used to live. If this was not Earth, then where did this broadcaste from? This was a magical ce, where one could cultivate, where one could even disy all kinds of Magic Techniques. But if Ning Cheng had a choice, he would still choose the Earth. At least there, was his younger sister, his only family. Chapter 0007 – Ning Cheng’s Work Chapter 0007 C Ning Chengs Work Of course it is a broadcast...... Ji Luo Fei saw Ning Chang standing there mumbling to himself, and said helplessly. The Cang Qin 2 Star Academys broadcast was not introduced too long ago, because the Academy wanted to join the ranks of a 3 Star Academy, apart from reinforcing their external strength, the Academys facilities were also upgraded and improved. Because of this, the Duelling tform outside the Academy was also constructed, the Academy also paid a heavy price to set up this broadcasting service by calling a high level Array Master to help set it up. Not only that, the Academy also sold Sound Transmission Jade Tablets. These Sound Transmission Jade Tablets can easily distribute the news of important matters within the scope of the Ping Continent. The sound transmission setup of this Sound Transmission Jade Tablet, was constructed using various Sound Transfer Arrays. Are you a country bumpkin? You dont even know what a Broadcasting Array is. said a long haired boy who passed Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei from the side, when he heard the talk between the two. His voice was full of disdain and ridicule. Ning Cheng came to an understanding, that the sound he heard was not broadcasted through the air as he thought, but through other ways. At this point when he heard someone speak in a sarcastically tone, he tried to respond back, but Ji Luo Fei pulled his hand and said, Forget about others, lets go. I must say, arent you the only ugly female disciple, surnamed Ji. The boy who spoke recognized Ji Luo Fei and continued to ridicule her in an unbridled fashion. Ji Luo Feis face was calm, her face was tranquil, as if the one who was being ridiculed was not she. Ning Cheng contained his fury in the innermost depths of his heart, and was led away by Ji Luo Fei. He knew that in this ce of cultivation, if he tried to stir up a fight, then more than ten people woulde to kill him in a second. Gu Fei is really useless, he was not even able to defeat such an ugly person. as Ji Luo Fei and Ning Cheng left, the boy behind them sneered and said loudly. His aim was very clear, and that was to provoke Ji Luo Fei. Ning Cheng could feel that Ji Luo Fei was suppressing her anger in the innermost depths of her heart, at this moment, Ning Cheng almost could not bear not turning back to seize the sarcastic guy and beat him up violently. His name is Zhu Chen Jun, and he is also at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, but his cultivation level is somewhat higher than me. Ji Luo Fei gave a light exnation while turning a bit pale at the same time. Ning Cheng did not speak, he knew that his strength was inferior, Ji Luo Fei reminded him that the words that he wanted to say would be utter nonsense. If he was powerful, Zhu Chen Jun would not dare speak in such a way in front of him. After listening to Zhu Chen Juns words, he was thinking about who this Gu Fei person was, it seemed that Ji Luo Fei had fought with this Gu Fei once before, he did not know if Ji Luo Feis injuries before were because of this matter. The Cang Qin 2 Star Academys area was veryrge, Ning Cheng also knew that the purpose of Ji Luo Fei bringing him to the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, was for the sake of saving his puny life. So he thought the Ji Luo Fei would certainly find a secluded ce for him to take shelter, he did not expect that Ji Luo Fei would lead him to the very front of an ancient tower like structure. The tower looked very majestic and grand, moreover the tower seemed to have many people inside it. Although it was said to have tower shape, but only the shape is somewhat simr. More precisely it was simr to a tower but the top was t. On the middle of the tower-shaped construction, a fewrge words were written, Cang Qin Cultivation Tower. Just follow me inside and do not speak anything. Ji Luo Fei warned Ning Cheng, then walked in first. Although the tower like structure from the outside looked enormous, but when Ning Cheng followed Ji Luo Fei and entered through the ground floor, he didnt imagine that the inside would be several timesrger than the outside Ji Luo Fei directly brought Ning Cheng to the Third Floor, and walked towards a ck door in a remote corner. Elder Mu lives here, here are the Academys Cultivation Rooms where the students cultivate, and Elder Mu is the one who manages this tower, when you see Elder Mu be respectful...... Ji Luo Fei was just warning Ning Cheng when the ck door opened. With thinning hair, face full of wrinkles, and even eyes that were not able to open fully, an old man stood at the doorway and said, Since you already came, thene in. His voice was crisp and resounded clearly, if Ning Cheng had only heard this voice for the first time, he would definitely not think that it belonged to an old man, but to a young man in his twenties or thirties. Elder Mu, he is Ning Cheng Ji Luo Fei entered the room first and gave a respectful salute to this man. Ning Cheng also followed Ji Luo Feis suit and said Ning Cheng greets Elder Mu. Qi Gathering 1st Level, it is just barely adequate toe help, how is his Spiritual Root? asked Elder Mu after ncing at Ning Cheng withcklustre eyes. Ji Luo Fei hurriedly says, Ning Cheng, although has no Main Spiritual Root, he does have a Three Line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root What colour is it? Elder Mu asked again. Ji Luo Fei replied with some fear, M...Muddy Yellow ......... Ning Cheng did not know what Spiritual Roots were, he just knew that a Spiritual Root was a representation of his qualifications, if his qualifications were poor, then presumably even his Spiritual Roots would be unlikely to be able to help him grow. Just as Elder Mu asked Ji Luo Fei about Ning Chengs Spiritual Root, this time after Ji Luo Fei replied, Elder Mu just snorted and said, He is here to clean up the Cultivation Rooms, it does not have any rtion with the quality of your Spiritual Root. Well, this is not your thing, you can go. Yes, this junior will go. said Ji Luo Fei after she heard Elder Mus words. She hastily bowed in a salute and backed out, not even saying a word to Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng felt something was wrong, before Ji Luo Fei said that Elder Mu treated her well, the only reason why he was able toe here to do odd jobs, was because it looked like Elder Mu wanted to help Ji Luo Fei. But towards Ji Luo Fei, Elder Mu did not seemed to give much regard, such being the case, why did Elder Mu help him. After Ji Luo Fei left, this Elder Mu looked like the sun had just died and said to Ning Cheng in a cold voice, There is no one cleaning the Seventh Floors Cultivation Rooms in the tower now, go and clean it up, from now on you are responsible for the Seventh Floor. Ning Cheng was confused, responsible for the Seventh Floor? This old man just only said one sentence, that he was responsible for the Seventh Floor, and did not speak any other words, who knew what did he want? Plus, where would he even live? This is for you, go to the Seventh Floor by yourself, I am busy with something, if it is not important then leave and do not disturb me. Elder Mu says while he threw a wooden que towards Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng just caught the Wooden que when he felt an enormous force pushing on him, he could not help but be pushed out of the room. The next moment, the ck door already closed. This Elder Mu does not seem like a person with good speech, might also not be a good person. Ning Cheng secretly said in his mind, and also did not dare to continue toe forwards to inquire about this Elder Mu. Written on a piece of paper were some very simple instructions, every day in the early mornings, when the students have not yet arrived to cultivate, he must reorganize and clean the Cultivation Rooms on the Seventh Floor. If there were any abnormalities, then it was necessary to report them immediately. The Wooden que was the master key to the Cultivation Rooms, as long as there was no one staying in the Cultivation Room, it could be opened with the Wooden que. If you breach the regtions, you would be penalized harshly. Ning Cheng looked at the few simple words, and became somewhat puzzled. Breaching the regtions? He doesnt even know what the regtions were. Besides, what did he mean by abnormalities? Who did he have to report to? Cleaning, what did he have to clean? Knowing nothing about these, Ning Cheng only came to understand that the Cultivation Tower had Seven Floors, his work was on the Seventh Floor, he didnt even know where he was supposed to eat or sleep. Ning Cheng wanted to find Ji Luo Fei to ask about this, but he did not know where Ji Luo Fei went. The Cang Qin 2 Star Academy was so huge, that even if he turned around in a circle, he would not be able to see itpletely. ording to what Ning Cheng thought, Ji Luo Fei, after she brought him to Elder Mu, should be waiting for him outside, but when came out of Elder Mus chambers, he did not see Lu Luo Fei. Ning Cheng did not go out to look for Ji Luo Fei, he was well aware that the less he showed himself the better it would be for him. Ji Luo Fei knew that he ended up offending Xian Yuan Kui, the status of Xian Yuan Kui in the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy was not low, or even the person who saved him, Jian Su Jie, even her status in the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy was also not low, otherwise the matter would not have reached Ji Luo Feis ear. Ning Cheng climbed by himself to the Seventh Floor of the Cultivation Tower, he imagined that the Seventh Floor would be much smaller, in ordance with the construction of the tower. The Cultivation Tower only has a total of Seven Floors, the top was always expected to be small. On the Seventh Floor, Ning Cheng counted a total of eighteen Cultivation Rooms. Ning Cheng did not spend much time on clearing up his understanding, as long as there was a red light lit in front of a Cultivation Room, it meant that there was someone cultivating in there. If there was no light lit in front of the door, it meant that there was no one using the room. The students cultivating on the Seventh Floor were obviously few, there were only three Cultivation Room doors on which there was lit a red light, all the others did not have a red light in front of them. Ning Cheng tried to use the Wooden que by embedding it into the grooves on the front door of an empty Cultivation Room, and the door of the Cultivation Room automatically opened. Ning Cheng immediately saw the inside of the Cultivation Room, this cultivation area was also veryrge and the Cultivation Room was also divided into two separate areas. Outside one area there was a small cultivation ground, he did not know what kind of Magic Techniques were practiced here, as the ground was in total disorder and there were even some traces of being burnt by fire. Ning Cheng exited this Cultivation Room, and went on to check out the rest of the empty Cultivation Rooms. These Cultivation Rooms were not the same, some of them had puddles of water on the ground, many had a variety of burns, and some were even full of dead nts. After looking in general, Ning Cheng already came to know what things that he was supposed to do, it was to clean the empty Cultivation Rooms every day. Saying it bluntly, he was now a cleaner. Turning around in a circle, Ning Cheng found his amodations in the corner of the Seventh Floor, it was just a small stone room of only a few square feet. The Elder Mu also lived in a simr stone room below, butpared to him, his stone room wasnt even one tenth in size of his. Inside the small stone room in addition to a bed, adjacent to it, there were some cleaning tools. A giant broom, a hand shovel, and a few dustpans, these were the objects that upied a tenth of the floor space in the small room. But Ning Cheng was relieved, at least he had a rtively safe and hidden ce, although the Cultivation Tower is rtively busy, but at least his residence is rtively remote. The only thing he wanted to know urgently, was where could he eat and wash himself. To ask Elder Mu, Ning Cheng did not dare to, he did not want to face him who could easily change his face from a positive happy one to a deathly cold one in an instant. Because of this, he deliberately went to the sixth floor, to the small stone room with a ck door in the corner, this was the room of the cleaner in charge of the sixth floor, after knocking on the door, a thin man appeared who was much tallerpared to him. Seeing that the tall man had a look of impatience in his eyes, Ning Cheng hurriedly asked in a polite way, I have just arrived, and have been ced on the Seventh Floor for cleaning the Cultivation Rooms, I would like to ask where could we eat a meal? Who told you that you could have something to eat in the Cultivation Rooms? The tall thin man replied with disdain, and with a bang, closed the door again. Chapter 0008 – Qi Gathering 2nd Level Chapter 0008 C Qi Gathering 2nd Level Ning Cheng never imagined that when he asked, this fellow, both his attitude and his response, would be so rude. He could only helplessly shake his head and prepare to go down to the Fifth Floor to ask. The Sixth Floor wasrger whenpared to the Seventh Floor, there were even more students here, you could asionally see some of the students go in and out of the Cultivation Rooms, it was unlike the Seventh Floor, where there were very few people and the few who were there would hardlye out of the Cultivation Room. You!! Stop for a minute. when Ning Cheng was on the stairway, someone called out to him. You called me? Ning Cheng turned and looked towards a boy who was few years older than him, the boy seemed to have just got out of a Cultivation Room. The boy, whenpared to Ning Cheng, had a darkplexion, and was smiling at him, it was clear that his smile did not hide any malice or evil thoughts towards him. Ning Cheng knew that the cultivation level of any one of the students cultivating here was much higher than him who was just a handyman of sorts. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not intend to ask this person, he did not want to strike up a conversation with the students. Also in the Cang Qin Province, the ones who could enter the Academy as students, regardless of which one, most of their backgrounds were not ordinary. To Ning Cheng, these students were someone who he could not offend under any circumstances i.e. for Ning Cheng they were untouchable existences. I just heard the words you spoke a while ago, you are the one who is responsible for cleaning the Cultivation Rooms, right? The boy asked directly. Ning Cheng replied in a hurried manner, Ah... Yes, today is my first day, I did not know where I could find something to eat, so I came here to ask. You not only do not know where you can go to eat, but you also do not seem to know the rules around here. After today, keep this in mind, the Grand Staircase is not for the helpers to use, if you are caught by other students or thew enforcement people, you would end up losing ayer of skin. After listening to the words that were spoken by the boy, Ning Cheng was shocked, he had juste down from the Seventh Floor, moreover by taking the Grand Staircase. But why did Ji Luo Fei not tell him, that as a helper, he could not use the Grand Staircase? If there was such a rule, and if the boy hadnt warned him, then he was afraid that something ominous would have happened to him Thank you for telling me, otherwise it would have been dangerous. Ning Cheng said with gratitude in his heart. The boyughed and said, Its nothing, I was also a cleaner of the Cultivation Rooms before, I did the job for seven years, and was able to cultivate till I reached the Qi Gathering 2nd Level, and from then became a formal disciple of the Academy, and now currently I am at the Qi Gathering 4th Level. If you can put the effort, maybe in the future you could be like me. Remember, if you have to go in and out of the Cultivation Tower, you can only do so by going through the side door. After saying so, the boy pointed towards a hidden door at the back, You can find the side door there, each floor has it, after you go in, you can directly exit the tower from the back. In the back of the tower you can find a ce to eat, the money for the food will have to be earned by yourself, do not go looking for Elder Mu, otherwise you are as good as dead. I wish you good luck. The boy finished, and didnt even say his name before he descended the staircase. Ning Cheng knew that the other party did not n to introduce himself. However, as this boy had pointed out the rules to him, it was equal to saving his small puny life, Ning Cheng, in his heart, was extremely grateful towards the boy. Eying the Grand Staircase, he seemed to have heard some footsteps, Ning Cheng hurriedly walked towards the small concealed door in the back corner, opened it and entered in a sh. Behind the small door, was a very dark and narrow staircase, to him it looked like a lifesaving emergency escape passage that was installed on every high rise building back on Earth. After going all the way down the staircase, Ning Cheng found himself in the back of the Cultivation Tower, at its bottom. The back side of the practice tower was simr to the interior of the tower, but contained only a very few people, there seemed to only be a single curved path. On both sides of the path were some giant trees, and from the shadow like gaps between the trees, many Academy students can be seening and going. There were also some students who deliberately sneaked onto this path, and would rush forward on the path in a hurry. Ning Cheng also walked along this path, after about half an hourter, he saw a narrow door, it was like the door of a small stone house. There was a middle aged man in front the stone door, but this man didnt seem to care about the students who passed in and out of the tower through the narrow door. Seeing his appearance, it was evident that he was just a gatekeeper. Ning Cheng, after emerging from the small door, was immediately shocked, as in front of him, was a market that had everything, and was really noisy. There were a variety of shops, restaurants and street vendors. But it was obvious that the level of these were much lower whenpared to the shops on the big streets of the Cang Qin Provinces capital city, the Cang Le City. But this ce was very busy, and had so many people wandering around, Ning Cheng suspected that even Ji Luo Fei did not know about this ce, at least he could not recall any previous memories of this ce. A huge sign was erected in the most conspicuous ce, the sign showed the various directions in which the various shops and stores were located through the use of arrows. The first building was unexpectedly not for business, simrly it was also not the kind that sold medicines, but rather was a ce with the name Fighting Pot. The name Fighting Pot, when Ning Cheng heard it for the first time, raised his sense of curiosity. Simply following the directions of the arrows from before, ten minutester, he appeared in front of a huge circr building. Ning Cheng stopped, as he saw that they were two people that stopped at the entrance of the circr building, it was obvious that if he wanted to enter the building then he had to pay some fees. Ning Cheng only had a few silver coins on him, which were supposed to his future living expenses, he just didnt want to waste this money on something unknown like the Fighting Pot. Just as Ning Cheng wanted to turn away from the circr building, his ears twitched and he stopped. From the next building a few people wereing out, it was their talks and remarks that attracted him. Looking at that person going all out against that brute really does not have any meaning, it really did not feel good that we lost todays silver coins, not only we didnt get to see any wonderful things, but also ended up losing money. Thest battle between Gu Fei and that ugly Ji can definitely be called splendid, little did I expect that Gu Fei wouldnt even be an opponent for the ugly Ji Ji Luo Fei may be ugly, but she knows the importance of cultivation. She defeated Gu Fei and got the Qi Gathering Stone too. A Qi Gathering Stone, ah, it really makes me envious. But it seems that even her injuries were not light, once his elder brother Gu Yuminges back, I guess she will have to spit out what she took. Even if Gu Yuming does note back, Ge Fei is not of the forgiving type. She is not necessarily ugly, she only has disfigured face, otherwise can you find someone who has a better figure than her in the entire Academy? Even Jian Su Jie, is not as ...... Dont talk anymore, do you not want to live, daring to say such things about Senior Apprentice Sister Jian ...... As the few people went away, blue veins popped on Ning Chengs fists as he clutched at them tightly. Ning Cheng did not go inside the Fighting Pot, but he could already imagine that inside there, were many bloody fights that went on, it was simr to the underground boxing scene back on Earth. He did not think that not only did Ji Luo Fei obtain the Qi Gathering Stone from such a hard to get ce, but it even left some serious side effects for her. That Gu Fei and his brother Gu Yuming, listening to those people, it seemed that they were not willing to let off Ji Luo Fei. Ning Cheng did not have the mood to continue strolling casually, he just bought some arbitrary dry rations and hurried back to the Seventh Floor of the Cultivation Tower. He wanted to speed up the pace of his cultivation, and reach the Qi Gathering 4th Level as soon as possible. In this ce, only if you had strength, would you have dignity. As usual, there were very few amount of students cultivating on the Seventh Floor of the Cultivation Tower. Ning Cheng, after cleaning up several of the Cultivation Rooms, directly entered and locked himself in his small stone room and began his cultivation of Qi. The students inside the Cultivation Rooms, once they went inside and closed the door of the Cultivation Room, the Qi inside the room would increase exponentially. But Ning Cheng did not have such a treatment in his small stone room when he was cultivating behind closed doors. Once Ning Cheng started gathering Qi, in his mind, once again appeared a new flow which he immediately started using. Because he had not only mastered the Concealing Technique before but even had improved it, Ning Cheng did not even hesitate for half a heartbeat and directly went ahead and abandoned the thin leather book that was the Ning ns Cultivation Manual and started directly practicing cultivation ording to the modified Cultivation Method that had appeared in his mind. The Qi from the outside, had no effect on Ning Cheng, as he began to cultivate, at the same time, from his Dantian, just like before, it provided a much purer and strong Qi from its source. Ning Cheng let this Qi wash all over him and allowed it to flow through all of his Meridians throughout his body. Ning Cheng, because of his previous experience did not panic, he discovered that the Cultivation Method that his mind has mysteriously created was much more effective than the Cultivation Method from the thin leather book of the Ning n. Even the Qi flowing in the Meridians was much more smooth and was flowing ten times faster than what was described in book. When Ning Cheng woke up again, he was already at the Qi Gathering 2nd Level, and his body oozed arge amount of filth again. Feeling more powerful than when he was at the Qi Gathering 1st Level, Ning Cheng knew, that he had without any doubt advanced to the Qi Gathering 2nd Level. Forgetting about the time, he actually cultivated for two days and nights in a row. In addition to feeling hungry, he only felt a drum like fluctuation in the air. Ning Cheng did not dare to continue cultivating, he knew that he hadmitted a major offence, as he did not clean the Cultivation Rooms for two days. Fortunately, he knew that very few people cultivated on the Seventh Floors Cultivation Rooms, he reaffirmed in his heart that Elder Mu would not reallye to find him. Because of this belief, Ning Cheng did not immediately go out to clean the Cultivation Rooms, but instead continued to cultivate a new spell, Dust Removal Technique. So that after every time he cultivates, he could easily remove the filth on his body, without going downstairs to search for water to clean himself. On the early morning of the third day, Ning Cheng sessfully used the Dust Removal Technique on himself, and then went out to clean the Cultivation Rooms. Sure enough, there were not many people cultivating in the Cultivation Rooms on the Seventh Floor. Even if he did note to clean the rooms for three days, there were still a few Cultivation Rooms that were still empty. ...... The next day, Ning Cheng not only hid himself in the Seventh Floor of the Cultivation Tower, but also made use of the opportunity to clean the Cultivation Room to cultivate all kinds of techniques. The only regret was that, when he cultivated the various techniques in the Cultivation Room, he did not have the support of the mystic atmosphere that was present in the rooms. Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, almost ten days flew by. In this period, Ji Luo Fei had note to visit Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng also rarely got out, his entire heart and mind were focussed on cultivation. However, when he advanced to the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, he was somewhat startled. After cultivating to the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, he could no longer sense the mysterious source in his body which had helped him till now. Ning Cheng was very clear, that if he did not have the support from the mysterious source, then even if he cultivated for a lifetime, he would never be promoted from the Qi Gathering 3rd Level to the Qi Gathering 4th Level. A few dayster, Ning Cheng had been cultivating repeatedly, but he was unable to get to the situation where the mysterious source in his body would provide him with the thick and pure Qi. As a result, his cultivation stagnated, he could only sessfully cultivate a few simple techniques. After he sessfully advanced to the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, under the guidance of the modified Cultivation Method, he was able to master the Fireball Technique and even improved it into the me Edge Technique. Even then, Ning Cheng was anxious to the extreme, he knew that if he did not have the support of the mysterious source in his body, then he would only be stuck at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level for the rest of his life. Ning Cheng decided to go look for Ji Luo Fei, since he could not progress any further in his cultivation, he did not want to stay inside this small stone room. He had just tidied up a bit and had not opened the door, when he heard a boom sound as the door of the small stone room was directly kicked open by a foot. Chapter 0009 – Major Event At The Academy Chapter 0009 C Major Event At The Academy There were two people who stood at the doorway, a young man and a woman. As Ning Cheng was already at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, he with a nce, could see that the man was at the Qi Gathering 4th Level while the woman was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level respectively. The man had a unique appearance, he had a tall stature but because he also had slender eyes, it made his tall stature be somewhat superfluous. You are the handyman responsible for cleaning the Cultivation Rooms, right? that woman asked. When she saw that Ning Cheng was only at the Qi Gathering 1st Level, disdain shed through her eyes. Ning Cheng originally was nning to get out of here, the things that the Elder Mu was fond of, he had nothing to do with it. But just when he was about to leave, the door was kicked open by someone. Why did the two of you kick my door? Ning Cheng simply didnt reply to the woman and asked them directly. The slender eyed male, when he saw that Ning Cheng dared to question them back, immediately went forward a single step: Whats wrong? I kicked your door, could it be that you are out of your mind. Today, not only will I kick your door, I will also beat your face to a pulp, what are you going to do...... This man didnt even finish speaking when he already raised his palms up to strike. Good, very impressive. An ice cold voice arrived which caused the slender eyed males hands to be abruptly stiff and stopped his hands while they were still in the air. Ning Cheng had originally seen that the man was about to hit and had already prepared for it, but he didnt expect that someone else would speak up. Now, he saw who the person was, who had just spoken and found that that person was a girl, who had just moments ago, exited from a Cultivation Room. This woman not only had an ice cold tone, but even her face was devoid of any expression. If going only by appearance, she wasnt even a least bit offpared to Jian Su Jie. What made Ning Cheng astonished was not her looks, but rather her cultivation. Unexpectedly, she was already at the Qi Gathering 6th Level. Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang. that slender eyed man had already recognized this girl and hurriedly called out, while sping his fists. Beside him, that woman at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level also hurriedly went forward to show her respect. This Senior Apprentice Sister named Zhuang gave a cold humph and turned around and was just about to leave when in that moment, she noticed Ning Cheng. She stopped, and instead of leaving she came over and spoke with wrinkled brows, Are you Ning Cheng? Ji Luo Feis fiance? Ning Cheng replied in a manner that was neither haughty nor humble, and said while cupping his fists: This one is indeed named Ning Cheng, greetings Senior Apprentice Sister. Seeing how Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang unexpectedly recognized Ning Cheng, the slender eyed man quickly said again: Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang, I had forgotten my Sound Jade Tablet in the Cultivation Room, I had just left and came back not long after, but I was unable to find it. On the Seventh Floor there is no one who is able to enter the Cultivation Room, aside from this handyman...... This slender eyed man hadnt finished speaking when Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang interrupted him, Lu Peng Yun, I presume that you already know about Ning Chengs identity. Falling Star 5 Star Academy is about to arrive to recruit the ten best students from the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy. Selection of the best students will soon begin, as a result Gu Yuming is sure to return. Gu Fei wanted to bully Ji Luo Fei but instead was injured heavily by her. After Gu Yuming arrives, Ji Luo Fei is bound to run away, so you came here to teach a lesson to Ning Cheng, in order to use him to humiliate Ji Luo Fei. Theplexion of the man by the name of Lu Peng Yun, at once, turned pale. He immediately gave a straightforward reply, Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang, you and Senior Apprentice Brother Gu, are both people that I respect. Senior Apprentice Brother Gu has already returned, Gu Fei was seriously injured by Ji Luo Fei and he is unlikely to let go of this matter. So you say that I should stop meddling in other peoples business, and let you take away Ning Cheng? Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang said with a soft voice. This male cultivator cupped his fists and no longer spoke, clearly Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang had spoken exactly what he had in mind. Get lost, do not let me see you in the great forests or therge sea, or I will kill you. Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang said these few words with an iparably ice cold voice. The man and woman, hearing this, theirplexion changed. They hadnt thought that Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang would not even give face to Gu Yuming. The two people, however didnt dare to continue stand there, with a gloomy look on their faces they hurriedly went towards the staircase and left. You, take care of yourself. After seeing that those two had left, Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang looked at Ning Cheng and spoke, with her face devoid of any expression. Ning Cheng was somewhat depressed, especially because he was continuously saved by two women, this really made him feel awkward. Now at present, whether it was Jian Su Jie or this Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang, both had said take care of yourself, these exact four words. Seeing Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang turning to leave, Ning Cheng hurriedly called out and asked, Many thanks to Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang for extending your helping hand. I would like to ask a question to Senior Apprentice Sister, in the end, what is the matter between Luo Fei and Gu Fei? Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang turned and gazed at Ning Cheng silently and then gave an irrelevant reply, You do not deserve Ji Luo Fei. Finished speaking, she unexpectedly did not pay any more attention to Ning Cheng, and turned around to leave. Ning Cheng thought that this might be the reason why Ji Luo Fei hadnte to find him for more than ten days, thinking about it he at once, became somewhat worried. He picked up his speed, and ran down several steps, and earnestly asked, Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang, please tell me how Ji Luo Fei was injured by Gu Fei, this Ning Cheng will endlessly be thankful to you. Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang stopped, only after sweeping a nce at Ning Cheng, she said, Ji Luo Fei, to win a Qi Gathering Stone, fought continuously for ten rounds at the Fighting Pot. Gu Fei saw that Ji Luo Fei, after fighting ten rounds, her Qi was almost exhausted, moreover she also did not have any friend to apany her. So, he challenged her with a bet of a Qi Gathering Stone. Ji Luo Fei under the threat of losing at the Fighting Pot had no choice but ept another round. The result, because of insufficient Qi, Luo Fei was seriously hurt. But Gu Fei had also underestimated Ji Luo Fei and as a result, his injury was even more heavy...... She paused for a moment, and once again looked at Ning Cheng, If I guessed it correctly, Ji Luo Fei should have given that Qi Gathering Stone to you for use so that you could advance to the Qi Gathering 1st Level. Ning Cheng did not refute her statement, Ji Luo Fei had indeed given him a Qi Gathering Stone but he still hasnt used it and only stored it by his side. There was no rtion between him advancing to the Qi Gathering 1st Level and Ji Luo Feis Qi Gathering Stone. Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang, you said that Gu Yuming is Gu Feis elder brother, and after he returns, he will look for Ji Luo Fei for revenge? Ning Cheng again inquired. Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang didnt directly respond to Ning Chengs inquiry, taking herself into consideration, she said, Ji Luo Fei, after defeating Gu Fei, again gained a profit of another Qi Gathering Stone; however, she didnt kill Gu Fei. Because she was already heavily injured and she had no one to apany her, the Fighting Pot forced her to leave behind one of her Qi Gathering Stones. Why is that? Ning Cheng wasnt the slightest bit aware that his voice had be quite loud. Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang slowly narrated: Because Ji Luo Fei had already finished ten rounds, her time had already concluded. Gu Fei challenging her was ssified as an unexpected round and so Fighting Pot demanded the site expenses. Site expenses for a round of fighting is a Qi Gathering Stone? Not only that, Fighting Pot forced Luo Fei to repay? Ning Cheng felt his heart burning with anger, this was simply taking advantage and bullying intolerably. He could even imagine Ji Luo Feis helplessness at that time. Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuangs tone was t when she spoke, After Gu Yuming returns, he is bound to look for excuses to kill Ji Luo Fei. If you want to survive, then leave here as soon as possible and you wont suffer any harm. After she finished saying this, she increased her pace, and quickly disappeared along the stairway. Ning Cheng suppressed the fury in his heart, this time, he did not go out from the side door. He wanted to immediately depart from the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy and even if it was considered asmitting an offence, he did not care. When Ning Cheng had first followed Ji Luo Fei to the Cultivation Towers Third Floor, there were many people there. Today, when Ning Cheng once more walked down to the Third Floor, he found out that there were only a handful of people. Not only this, those several people were also hurriedly rushing down the stairway. You are not staying on the Seventh Floor cleaning the Cultivation Rooms, what are you doing bying down? Ning Cheng was just about to go down from the Third Floor when Elder Mus sudden voice arrived at his ears. Ning Cheng was frightened, he had just a moment ago, seen that Elder Mus stone room was closed. How did it open in a sh? Ning Cheng reacted instantly, he quickly bowed and replied, I wanted to go take a look at what was going on. He absolutely didnt know what kind of situation had urred, but the people in the Cultivation Tower were all going out. Now that people were only going out and noting in. Apparently to Ning Cheng, it seemed that something major had happened. You really have got big nerves. Elder Mu coldly said. After that, unexpectedly, he didnt say anything. Instead, he returned to his stone room and at the same time, the door of the stone room closed. Ning Cheng was drenched in a cold sweat, he didnt understand what Elder Mu meant by him having big nerves. Was it because he had left without leave or because he was going through the Great Staircase? No matter what, Elder Mu only spoke and did nothing more, not even criticizing him, this made Ning Cheng frightened and at the same time, he felt that something was strange. Fortunately, Ning Cheng immediately thought that he was unlikely to stay here and this made his heart calm a bit. As soon as he goes out and finds Ji Luo Fei, then they would immediately depart from here. Only aftering out of the Cultivation Tower, did Ning Cheng see that the entire Academy was bustling with noise and excitement. Many Cang Qin Academys students were rushing towards the same ce, Ning Cheng pulled aside a boy who was at the Qi Gathering 1st Level and asked, May I ask where are all these people are all going to? This boy at the Qi Gathering 1st Level looked doubtfully at Ning Cheng and asked, Are you not of Cang Qin Academy? Of course I am, its only that I just recently came out from closed door training, therefore I am not very clear, thats all. Ning Cheng replied confidently. That boy at the Qi Gathering 1st Level looked at Ning Cheng somewhat doubtfully, it would be a wonder if he believed that this guy who was at the Qi Gathering 1st Level was in a closed door training. However, he still replied, Hua Continents Falling Star 5 Star Academy is going to select ten disciples from our Academy, today is the start of thepetition for the selection of the best disciples, so how could it not be bustling with excitement? Wouldnt thatpetition be very fierce? Ning Cheng was aware of this matter, when he had originally entered the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy with Ji Luo Fei, he heard the broadcast regarding this matter and not long ago, Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang had also mentioned about it. Intense? Cang Qin 2 Star Academy has innumerable talented disciples. Hua Countrys Falling Star 5 Star Academy will only select ten from them, you say if it will be intense? Senior Apprentice Brother Qiu Ying Guang, Senior Apprentice Sister Jian Su Jie, Senior Apprentice Brother Hou Zhuan, Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang Tianya, ............. anyone can casually name more than ten. A student at the Qi Gathering 1st Level who was standing by the side heard them talk and immediately interrupted. Thinking that Ning Cheng was also a student. He shook his head, sighed and spoke, Ah, if only the Falling Star 5 Star Academy selected a few more from our Academy, that would be good. The student whom Ning Cheng had previously pulled over, gave an inconceivable look to Ning Cheng and spoke, Could it be that you dont know how this ten-person quota came about? In the past, although Cang Qin 2 Star Academys students were still able to go to Falling Star 5 Star Academy, but in the past, only one or two were picked, thats all. This time, Falling Star 5 Star Academy themselves took the initiative to select, because of our Ping Continents first Essence Building Realm expert, ancestor Lian Hao Yan achieved great merits in the War of the Three Continents. Only then, this kind of treatment was given. Of course, ancestor Lian Hao Yans cultivation level went through the sky, I heard he was already near to the border of the Profound Congealing Realm. After he made his contributions, his first request was for Hua Continents 5 Star Academy to select ten disciples from all Ping Continents 2 or more Star Academies. Otherwise it was very unlikely that my Cang Qin 2 Star Academy would get ten quotas, not to mention that Falling Star 5 Star Academys teachers even personally came to recruit. After the boy who was on the Qi Gathering 1st Level finished speaking, immediately a loud chime was heard. Chapter 0010 – Ten Openings Chapter 0010 C Ten Openings Ning Cheng followed the many students of the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy to the za, here there were tens of thousands of people squeezed into such a small ce, and there was still a steady stream of studentsing in. In the middle of the square was an enormous golden ring, behind the ring were a row of chairs. Ning Cheng, by a rough estimate counted at least 100 people sitting behind the ring. Ning Cheng, estimated that on this, the people sitting behind the ring were some sort of royalty. Perhaps even the Ruler of the Cang Qing Province was among them, but he was not sure of who the ruler of the Cang Qin Province was. Ning Cheng stood in the corner, as for the people taking part in thispetition, he did not recognize anyone, he was not even aware of the specific circumstances for the selection. At this point he could only hide in the corner and listen to thements of others See that, right in the middle of the first row, the senior wearing a grey robed decorative gown, as well as the two seniors by his side, I heard that they came from the Falling Star 5 Star Academy, I heard that they were masters of the Essence Building Realm. I heard that the students from the 5 Star Academy were very remarkable, but now the teachers for the 5 Star Academy were unexpectedly willing toe here to look at the students, even though their Academys rank is higher, they were willing to see the gifted students from our Academy. What do you know? If it wasnt for the ancestor Lian Hao Yan of our Ping Continent, how would the experts of the Falling Star Academy, who have such a high cultivation level,e here? If not for that, they might even not know that we, at Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, even existed. Stop talking, Dean Yan Yuan Kai ising out speak. I heard that Dean Yan was at the peak of the True Condensation 9th Level, just one more step and he would be able to step into the Essence Building Realm. ...... Ning Cheng has been listening to the people talking, he was especially concerned about the teachers from the Falling Star 5 Star Academy. Sitting in the middle was a middle age man wearing a grey robe. He appeared to be a bit plump, and had smile on his face. As for the man on his left, his face was very pale, there was no expression on his face. On his right was a somewhat graceful woman, wearing a pale pinkish shaded robe with a gold thread pattern, her hair was tied into a bun, she looked very demure, but Ning Cheng was able to perceive the atmosphere of arrogance around her. What made Ning Cheng feel a bit odd was that she looked a bit like Ji Luo Fei. Thinking about Ji Luo Fei, Ning Cheng became worried, he came here to see if Ji Luo Fei woulde here to participate in the selection. Otherwise in such a huge Academy, trying to find Ji Luo Fei immediately, was not possible for him. When Dean Yan Yuan Kai stood up to speak, the entire za that was packed with tens of thousands of students instantly quieted down. The name and fame of Yan Kai Yuan had impressed Ning Cheng, but he had never seen him. When he first saw the Dean of the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, he was wearing a brown robe, although he looked very spirited, he was clearly not of a young age, he even had grey hair. All the Cang Qin 2 Star Academys elites, as we all know, today, I am here to announce some good news. Thats right, the Hua Continents Falling Star 5 Star Academy hase to pick ten of our students, these selected students will enter Falling Star 5 Star Academy and continue to cultivate more advanced Cultivation Methods and Magical Techniques. Each and every student who is able to enter Falling Star 5 Star Academy will have boundless prospects in the future. I am very grateful to the Falling Star 5 Star Academys seniors for arriving three days earlier than we expected, lets eagerly look forward to our Academys students performance......... Yan Yuan Kais speech was met by waves of warm apuse, Ning Cheng also followed everyone and raised his hands to give several ps. He was already clear on what was going on. In an ordinary course of event, when Falling Star 5 Star Academys people woulde over for recruitment, Cang Qin 2 Star Academy would be sure to have all the students and teachers be present early, how can they still drag their feet. Originally, because these people simply didnt y by the rules andmon sense, they had arrived at an earlier time. Cang Qin 2 Star Academy didnt dare make the people from Falling Star 5 Star Academy to wait too long, so the selection event was hastily organized in advance. After the apuse stopped, Yan Yuan Kai spoke once again, Now, we would like to ask Falling Star 5 Star Academys Elder Wen Ji Lue toe and speak about the main rules of the selectionpetition. A man sitting in the middle, wearing grey robes, stood up and walked towards the middle of the huge ring. Face beaming with smile, he spoke, To be Cang Qin Academys students, you all ought to be Cang Qin Provinces most gifted cultivation talents, if not, you would be unable to enter here. However, at my Hua Continents Falling Star 5 Star Academy, the entrance requirement is hundred times more difficult than here. Now, I, a delegate of the Falling Star 5 Star Academy, am here to recruit some students, but there are a few requirements. First, the person must not be too old, we do not want people who are too old. Second, we wont consider any person that doesnt have a Main Spiritual Root or if the Main Spiritual Root is muddy yellow and third, if I find someone unpleasing, then he/she is also unlikely to be considered. After speaking the few sentences while still smiling slightly, this man named Wen Ji Lue didnt speak any more and went back to his seat. Cang Qin 2 Star Academys students all started discussing one after another amongst themselves, but nobody dared to speak out loud. At Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, even if the teachers found students to be unpleasing to their eyes, it was not possible for them to say it out like this. But now, when Wen Ji Lue directly went out and said that anybody who was not pleasing to their eyes would not be considered. Even if your natural aptitude went against the heavens, if you were not pleasing to their eyes, you still wouldnt be able to enter the Falling Star 5 Star Academy. Yan Yuan Kai was Cang Qin 2 Star Academys Dean, but even he didnt dare to retort in the slightest to Wen Ji Lues words. When he saw that Wen Ji Lue had already descended, he hurriedly stood up once more and spoke, Now, I announce some of the other rules for the selection, the Academy will pick out ten core students. Each student can ept three challenges, challengers must be twenty years of age or below and have a Main Spiritual Root with cultivation level of Qi Gathering 3rd Level or above. The winner will continue to stay on the stage. In the audience, after hearing these conditions, the students all burst out in discussion. Even if the Spiritual Root was better, they should be twenty years of age or younger and have a cultivation level of Qi Gathering 3rd Level or above, this condition alone almost eliminated 99.99 percent of all the students. Ning Cheng had an agile mind, he could easily understand what was going on. Falling Star 5 Star Academy clearly were impatient to being here, they came to Cang Qin 2 Star Academy for selecting the students because it was apulsory matter for them. Who would be so patient as to wait for each and every student to finish? Even several tens of days might not necessarily be enough for it. Yan Yuan Kai, as if he didnt hear the noisy mours, continued to speak, The ten core students are Qi Ying Guang, Gu Yuming, Jian Su Jie, Zhuan Tianya, Yong Ying Rui, Hou Zhuan, Xie Shao Xi, Zhong Yi, Yong Rui Li and Dan Xiang Ling. The ten students whose name were announced, were not out of peoples expectations. These ten students were, all along, Cang Qin 2 Star Academys most powerful, the only controversy was that of Yong Rui Li who was at the 3rd Level of the Qi Gathering Realm. However, Yong Rui Li was the princess of the Cang Qin Province, it was believed that no one would dare to go on the ring and fight her for the quota. In case she won the fight for the selection, then it was okay but if Yong Rui Li lost, then the one who challenged her would not be able to survive for long in Cang Qin Province. Speaking of these ten students, among them, the only one that was poor, was Hou Zhuan. Hou Zhuan was born in poverty and not only that, his parents also had died prematurely, at present, he was alone at Cang Qin Academy. However, his natural aptitude was astonishing, only eighteen years of age and was already at the Qi Gathering 5th Level. Apart from Qiu ns Qiu Ying Guang, he was unmatched. Because, this selection process was held very suddenly, those ten students arrived on the ring without having made much preparations, they stood in the ring, ready to ept the challenges. Falling Star 5 Star Academys Wen Ji Lue slightly nodded, clearly the Cang Qin Academys Deans speed of handling things was very satisfactory to him. The challenges can begin. Cang Qin Academys Yan Yuan Kai clearly understood Wen Ji Lues thoughts. They didnt want to stay at this broken ce, so the sooner it finishes, the better. Therefore, he didnt dare to waste time by saying much nonsense. Lu Peng Yun wants to challenge Zhong Yi. Yan Yuan Kai had barely descended from the ring when a tall student jumped over on to the ring. Ning Cheng recognized this person, he was exactly the one from before who had tried to find him for trouble, Lu Peng Yun and also at Qi Gathering 4th Level. The one he challenged, Zhong Yi was also at Qi Gathering 4th Level, except Zhong Yi was much younger than him. Zhong Yi was not very tall, looking at him being at Qi Gathering 4th level, and also be selected as a core student, it meant that he definitely was not as simple as he looked on the surface. Hold on. Just when Zhong Yi wanted toe forward to ept the challenge, Falling Star 5 Star Academys Wen Ji Lue once again spoke up. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and a ten feet tall crystal pir appeared in the corner of the ring, You, first go and test your Spiritual Root. Lu Peng Yun clearly hadnt thought of having to test his Spiritual Root, fortunately, he was not a stranger to the Spiritual Root Test. He stretched out his hand and put it below the hand mark on the testing crystal pir, and forced out a bit of his Qi into it. Immediately, a thumb thick yellow light rose along the crystal pir and after rising continuously till a height of one meter, it finally stopped. To the sides of this thumb thick yellow light, there were two thin muddy yellow lights, however, those two thin muddy yellow lights only rose till two-thirds of a meter. Lu Peng Yun took his hands off the crystal pir, he had a somewhat proud expression on his face. He had a Main Spiritual Root and not only his Main Spiritual Root was not muddy yellow colour, it could already be considered to be of pure yellow colour. But before he could continue to be pleased with himself, he felt a powerful force p his body. The next moment, he, simr to a kite with a cut string, flew out from above the ring andnded heavily on the hard ground beneath the ring. A trivial meter, with a yellow coloured Spiritual Root, also thinks of entering Falling Star Academy? This is the first and thest warning, next time, anyone who dares to use this kind of Spiritual Root toe waste our time, it wont just end with a p. Wen Ji Lue spoke with an ice cold voice, there was no longer that smile from before on his face. Some students had wanted to go up, but due to this severe intimidation, they didnt dare to go. For a moment, there were no one who dared to go up on the ring. Ning Cheng was also intimidated. but he was intimidated for a different reason than these people, he was intimidated because he saw Wen Ji Lue casually throwing out a ten feet tall testing instrument. And he had only seen Wen Ji Lue patting down between his pockets, thats all, this was really too magical. Could this be the legendary Xumi space? Where one can put huge amounts of stuff inside? Not all the students were intimidated by Wen Ji Lue. After a brief moment of silence, a male student jumped on to the ring, and with a clear voice, spoke, Jiang Tu challenges Yong Rui Li. All people, including Ning Cheng, were immediately attracted to this Jiang Tu, he not only dared to go on the stage after Wen Ji Lues severe words, moreover, the one who he challenged was Yong Rui Li. Yong Rui Li was a royal princess, although her cultivation level was low, but who would dare go challenge Cang Qin Provinces princess? Granted that if she won, at most they would only be lightly punished, but if in case she lost, that would be the same as their total destruction. Not saying about ones own small life, even their whole family would end up having to share the same fate. Do not look, quickly follow me. A soft voice arrived as at the same time a gentle hand grabbed Ning Chengs hand. Luo Fei....... Ning Cheng had been in the process of thinking what Jiang Tu was relying on to dare challenge Yong Rui Li, but unexpectedly, Ji Luo Fei had found him. Only, Ji Luo Feis hands were somewhat shivering, clearly some bad situation had urred. Chapter 0011 – Listen To Me Chapter 0011 C Listen To Me Now that the Academy is selecting students, we have the opportunity to escape from Cang Qin Province, furthermore it is slightlyte, I estimate that the Academy wille to know that I killed Xian Yuan Kui and Yong Li Man...... Ji Luo Fei said in a low voice so that only Ning Cheng could hear, she whispered this urgently into his ear. Killed Xian Yuan Kai and Yong Li Man? Ning Cheng was surprised, but on thinking about the two names he instantly came to understand something. He did not know if Ji Luo Fei killed these two people for other reasons, but he knew that because these two people were killed by Ji Luo Fei, he would also be killed because of his rtionship with her. When he arrived in the Cang Qin Province that time, he had gone to do some shopping, for the first time he had almost died in the hands of Xian Yuan Kai. He understood that Ji Luo Fei killed Xian Yuan Kui so that he could not look him up again for revenge. As for Yong Li Man, although Ning Cheng did not know, but he knew from his name that he was connected to the Cang Qins Royal Family. Even if the Cang Qins Royal Family was not involved, if the matter of Ji Luo Fei killing just Xian Yan Kui spread out, she would definitely end up dead. Even if they did not end up killing Ji Luo Fei, they would stille back for him, apparently because they feared that with her ability she would end up escaping, because of this the Cang Qins Royal Family and Xian n would end up venting their anger on him. Thank you, Luo Fei. Ning Cheng came to understand this point, and said while immediately holding Ji Luo Feis hand in a grateful manner. Ji Luo Fei did not feel anything when Ning Cheng grasped her hand. Even when she was carrying Ning Cheng back home before, she did not feel anything. Although Ning Cheng had revived on her back, but it was not unusual for her. Whether Ning Cheng was dead or alive, she would have taken Ning Cheng away from the doors of the prison. For her, this was just gratitude, not for Ning Cheng, but for Ning Chengs Grandfather. Before when she brought Ning Cheng to the Cultivation Tower, it was only a small part of repaying her debt of gratitude, even if she was soon going to leave the Cang Qin Province, she was only concerned about Ning Cheng, and had no other emotions in her. But now, when Ning Cheng spoke those words from the heart, it made Ji Luo Fei feel slightly shocked, she felt a deep gratitude from Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng had changed, the Ning Cheng from before, even if she gave up her life for him, when she just thought about it, he would absolutely wouldnt be able to say those words, and now the image of the previous Ning Cheng in her mind hadpletely changed. At this time when Ning Cheng held her hand, she even felt her face getting hot. Ji Luo Fei felt her heart tremble, Ning Cheng was much more calm than her, pulling Ji Luo Feis hand he said, Dont be nervous,e with me and listen to me. Looking at Ning Cheng calmly moving through the crowd, Ji Luo Feis eyes werepletely red, and followed behind Ning Cheng in an extremely obedient manner. Dont be nervous,e with me and listen to me. A simple sentence, but to Ji Luo Fei it felt that she couldpletely rely on it. Her cultivation level was obviously higher than Ning Cheng, but she was able to feel somefort and protection from the words of Ning Cheng, Her home was destroyed when she was very young, and was adopted by the Ning n, to put it nicely, her status was that of his bride. Saying it bluntly, her status as a child bride or the position of a maid, it made no difference. Although Grandpa Ning didnt see her as an outsider, the rest of the members of the Ning n did not see her as their daughter-inw, rather most of them saw her as a small servant girl at best. Even the previous Ning Cheng, took her to be a female ve girl, putting her even beneath the maids. Every time Ning Cheng saw her, his face would fill up with disgust. Ning Hong Chang was the head of the Ning n, so it was impossible for him to be always be able to take care of Ji Luo Fei. Since from the time she could remember, she did all the things by herself, she had no one that she could rely on. Ning Cheng was obviously younger than her by a year, but when Ning Cheng spoke those words, it let her feel that Ning Cheng was very tall, someone she felt she could rely on. Only people who never had anyone to rely on, only they would be able to understand this feeling. The image of Ning Cheng, at this moment seemed to havepletely reversed in her heart. Of course, Ning Cheng did not think too much, although he knew that Ji Luo Fei was more familiar with the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, but he was very clear, the ability to escape and deal with some critical situations, Ji Luo Feis capability was lower than him in this matter. Ji Luo Fei followed Ning Cheng through the crowd and in about seven or eight breaths seemed to have reached the edge, seeing Ning Cheng sneak into the rows of giant trees, Ji Luo Fei immediately thought that Ning Cheng was going to escape through the door leading to the Fighting Pot. She was going to remind Ning Cheng, that since today the Falling Star 5 Star Academy was conducting the selection of students, the door leading to the Fighting Pot must have been sealed and guarded, it would be better to go through the main entrance. But at this time, a team of seven or eight security guards unexpectedly appeared in front of both of them. The group had seen that Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei were heading in the direction of the small door, as they tried to stop them immediately, and they even seemed toe over. Ji Luo Feis heart sank, she thought that they might have been exposed, when the guard sergeant came over. She made up her resolve, that even if she died, she would help Ning Cheng escape. Before Ji Luo Fei could speak, Ning Cheng suddenly whispered to her again. What is the name of the Vice Dean of the Academy? Chang Yan Yong. Ji Luo Fei blurted out subconsciously. Ning Cheng suddenly raised his voice and said, But why did he pick us for running errands, s, we can only me ourselves for being too close to the ring, what a pity ......... Although Ning Cheng spoke in a regretful voice, but on the contrary, he showed an expression of surprise on his face, at the same he sped up towards the head sergeant of the security team. When the security team saw Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei unexpectedlye towards them, they stopped, they had intended to stop and inquire Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei but when they saw Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei were, instead running towards them, they just stood where they were and did not move. Head Sergeant and several sergeant brothers hold on...... Ning Cheng obviously stopped in front of the few people and loudly called out to them. Whats the matter with you? Asked the head sergeant leading the team, who was also a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level. When he saw Ning Cheng calling out to him and his brothers, he forgot to ask about where Ning Cheng was heading to. Ning Cheng removed a dark wooden que and showing it to the captain of the guards said, Seeing that there are several of you here is nice, however, would the several guard brothers here help us out, it would be a great favour. I am a disciple of Elder Mu, the Vice Dean asked my master to assemble a team of security guards and stand by the doors of the Cultivation Tower, it was my master who let the two of use here. But now is a crucial moment that Falling Star 5 Star Academy is selecting students, in this challenge match, I really do not want to leave, ayah, never did I thought that you woulde at the right moment. Youve got toe quickly with me to the entrance of the Cultivation Tower, hold on, Ill give you the instructions that Vice Dean Yong wrote to you, when the timees, you can directly hand it over to the Vice Dean Yong....... No can do, we have to go to the south-west gate, there is no way for us to help you. looking at the wooden que in his hands, he immediately interrupted Ning Cheng and said in a positive way. Saying that, he returned the wooden que to Ning Cheng. This wooden que had a carving of two words, Cultivation Tower, it proved that the wooden que was genuine. Ning Cheng quickly followed with an anxious cry and said, But I even have the instructions written by the Vice Dean, is it not the same as an executive order? You first have toe with me to the Cultivation Tower and wait ...... After speaking for a while, Ning Cheng let out a relieved sigh, he was afraid that the guy would recognize that the wooden que belonged to the cleaners of the Cultivation Tower. You have your own instructions, we also have our own orders, you Academy students are sloppy and casual, did you think that you can just grab a few people from Cang Qin Guards, I think it would be better if you go back, dont try to be smart. Said the captain of the guards as he walked away in disdain. He was looking down on Ning Cheng, this kind of guy had no idea about military discipline. By the time the two people finished their talks, they had already arrived at the door of the bustling market. From what Ji Luo Fei anticipated, it turned out to be quite good, there were two people who were guarding the small gate, but it was not the middle aged guard from before. Seeing the two guards blocking the door, Ning Cheng showed an unhappy face and said, Open the door, I want to go out. The dialog between the Head Sergeant and Ning Cheng, these two security guards had heard clearly, and they knew even what Ning Cheng was going to do. Seeing the unhappy expression on Ning Chengs face, the two security guards knew Ning Cheng wanted to see thepetition, but was now being sent away, it would really be strange if they were cool about it. One of the guards was about to speak, but suddenly he saw the face of Ning Cheng suddenly flush with joy and rushed in front of the guard and spoke, Guard brothers, are you not here to guard? For guarding a gate, two people or a person is the same, one of you can help me do a favour and take a trip with me while the other one can stay here ......... Im sorry, we were ordered to guard this ce, we are simply unable to leave. The other guard said simply. Ning Chengs face fell again, but this time it was only for a moment, and then he said again, You are guarding this gate here, you would certainly not allow anyone to go through it, right? Yes., the other guard who was just asked replied in a simple way. Then if we want you to open the door, you would certainly not open it, right? For example, just like I asked you to open the door a moment ago, right? Ning Cheng continued to ask, as if he was guiding the sheep to the wolf. The guard who was just asked was going to say yes, but then he saw the smile on Ning Chengs face which seemed to harbour evil intentions, his heart suddenly thumped. This student clearly did not want to handle the matter, so he would just me them for not opening the door, unexpectedly this student was very cunning. However, they knew that the origins of many of the students of the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy were not ordinary, so the students being this bold, was not something that surprised the guards. Well, you are right, Senior Apprentice Sister, lets go back. Ning Cheng pulled Ji Luo Fei and turned around to leave. Wait, will you let me see the token. This security guard understood that Ning Cheng had some insurance which could potentially be disastrous to them, and hurriedly called out to Ning Cheng to stop. He took a step down, he knew that Ning Cheng had a token with him, just now the Head Sergeant had also taken a look at it. Ning Cheng did not move from his position, Why do you want to see that token? Just a moment ago when we asked you open the door, you were not willing to open it. This is your responsibility, I also do not me you, but why do you want to see my token? If every soldier that I meet wants to look at my token, then I should just hang the damn token on my neck just as well. Lets go, Senior Apprentice Sister. Chapter 0012 – Not Of This World Chapter 0012 C Not Of This World This guard, after hearing Ning Chengs final words, hisplexion turned somewhat ugly. He hesitated for a moment, but still went to open the gate and spoke, The gate is already open, if you want to go out, then go, if not, I will have to close the gate again. If only Ning Cheng dared to take a step back, the guard would have closed the gate immediately. Anyway, Ning Cheng wanted the guard to open the gate and the guard had already opened it. Since Ning Cheng, himself was unwilling to go out, in that situation, even if he went out, the me might not necessarily reach him. Ning Cheng helplessly walked forward, he resolutely red at the two guards and wearing a bad mood, walked away from the Academy through its small back gate. From the time Ning Cheng moved towards that squadron of guards till going out of the small gate, Ji Luo Feis heart was continuously filled with worry. It waspletely unexpected to her that Ning Cheng would surprisingly dare to be so bold and brazen as to do this kind of act by using only a cleaners wooden que. In case something had happened, then both of them would have ended up dying tragically. Because of those several guards, if any conflicts had urred between them and those guards, they would no longer have been able to go any further. After they walked out through that small gate, Ning Cheng was not at all impatient to leave, rather he stopped. Pointing his finger at the two words disying Fighting Pot, he spoke, Luo Fei, in the future, if I am able to seed in cultivation, I will eradicate this Fighting Pot. Although Ji Luo Feis ability to adapt to changes was not as good as Ning Chengs, but she definitely was a clever and smart person. When Ning Cheng spoke of Fighting Pot, she immediately came to understand that Ning Cheng knew about her situation with the Fighting Pot, it warmed her heart immediately. Lets go, this is not a ce for us to stay for long. I am not familiar of this outside area, Luo Fei, you lead the way. After going out of the Cang Qin Academy, Ning Cheng felt his whole body rx and turning around, said to Luo Fei, with a smile. Okay. Ji Luo Fei nodded. Knowing this time, she couldnt hesitate, she elerated her pace, passing through the bustling marketce. After a short amount of time, she took Ning Cheng to a very remote alley. Despite being on the run, Ji Luo Feis heart was continuously having doubts, how could Ning Cheng have be this calm and steady? She hesitated for quite a while, but still decided to ask Ning Cheng. She hadnt even opened her mouth, when Ning Cheng asked, Luo Fei, I have been wondering, there were almost a hundred thousand people at the huge square public za, how were you able to find me? Furthermore, he still hadnt asked everything. He also wanted to know where was she when he was at the Cultivation Tower? Why hadnt she tried toe find him? Ji Luo Fei hesitated slightly, thinking of a reply, suddenly she felt Ning Cheng pulling her aside, following which a white light struck the ce where she was just standing. Ji Luo Feisplexion changed, she saw that there were two men standing ahead in front of her and Ning Cheng. Seeing the two men, one tall and one short, Ji Luo Feis heart immediately sank. She knew these two men, both were the Xian ns hired thugs and had a cultivation level of Qi Gathering 6th Level. She basically felt that it was impossible to escape because she was at Qi Gathering 3rd Level and Ning Cheng at Qi Gathering 1st Level, this ability,pared to them was too low. Oh, a puny Qi Gathering 1st Level cultivator was able to react so fast. Said the tall man who had seen Ning Cheng reacting somewhat faster than Ji Luo Fei. Contrary to what one might expect, he was a bit startled. Ji Luo Fei only then, recalled that her reaction had been slower than Ning Chengs. However, at present, she wasnt in a mood to think over these matters. Immediately, spoke impatiently, Ning Cheng, you run away quickly, I will hold them up for a moment...... A mere Qi Gathering 3rd Level kid dares to speak of stalling us. Killing Young Master Yuan Kui and still thinking of running? Think about it yourself, how do you want to die and then you might receive a smooth death. The tall man said in a disdainful manner. Ning Cheng passed through a short moment of panic, after that, on the contrary, he began to calm down and spoke: Luo Fei, you know of my aptitude. It would be better if you run away and remember to take revenge for meter, I dont want to believe that there will be no one to avenge me after my death. The two thugs from the Xiao n simply did not wait to let Ning Cheng finish his words, and began raising their hands, several Wind Edges sealed up the entire street where Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei were standing in. At the same time, the two people each took out an Artefact, but did not proceed to attack with it, apparently these two wanted to catch them alive. Ning Cheng did not reach out to these people, in this fight, he did not know has far was the difference between him and these people at the Qi Gathering 6th Level, as this was not a level that he could reach yet. He did not want to let Ji Luo Fei suffer, but even if they wanted to avoid some of the Wind Edges it would be very difficult. ...... A six-foot white gold Spiritual Root ....... All the people sitting behind the ring immediately stood up, the Falling Star 5 Star Academys elder who was wearing a grey robe, had an excited expression on his face which was difficult to conceal. At this time, a challenger stood in front of the Spiritual Roots Testing Artefact, his hand was ced on the detection Artefact, there appeared a whitish gold column inside the crystal of the testing instrument which was about six feet in height, this whitish gold light beam was about as thick as an arm of a child. There were no small light columns next to this whitish gold light, there was only a golden circle at the bottom of this whitish gold light beam. Haha, I did not think that there was such a genius in the Cang Qin Academy, good, good, this trip was not in vain. By the way, what is his name? Wen Ji Liu was iparably excited, as he asked Dean Yang Jiang. Dean Yang Jiang replied in a very polite voice and said, Senior, that young one is called Jiang Tu Good, Good ......... Jiang Tu, afterwards, you will be Falling Star 5 Star Academys student, you need not go up for any more fights, just now who did you challenge? Wen Ji Liu immediately became fond of Jiang Tu and so immediately asked who was the one he challenged. It is Yong Rui Li. Jiang Tu replied honestly. Wen Ji Lue nodded slightly, and spoke to Yong Rui Li who hade up, You are already eliminated, you can go down. Yong Rui Lisplexion turned extremely ugly, but she had no choice other than to bow respectfully after which she departed sadly from the ring. She was very clear that even if she was Cang Qin Provinces Princess, in front of this grey-gowned person, she was not anyone important. Jiang Tu, do you want to be my personal disciple? after Yong Rui Li left the ring, Wen Ji Lue asked Jiang Tu in a very pleasant manner. Jiang Tu hurriedly bows again and replied, Jiang Tu meets the master. Wen Ji Liuughed, took out a small leather bag and gave it to Jiang Tu and said, This is a gift from your teacher to you. Senior Brother Wen, you really are generous, you are even willing to give up a coin filled bag. After Jiang Tu returns to the Academy, perhaps even the other elders of the Academy will want to ept him as their disciple. Spoke the pale faced man from the Falling Star 5 Star Academy who hadnt even spoken a word till now. Wen Ji Liu did not mind it even a bit, You are just envious of me, there are a lot of students here, you can find one yours- ah maybe you can find a satisfactory disciple to take back. Wen Ji Liu was certainly proud of the words he had spoken out, apparently he did not expect that Cang Qin Academy would have a disciple with such Pure Spiritual Roots. However, the other two individuals from the Falling Star 5 Star Academy released their auras. They were cultivators with their cultivation levels in the Essence Building Realm, those people in Essence Building Realm can even be called as Gods. Moreover, the pale faced man could easily tell that there was no one here that was worth his interest, but the woman who was wearing the pink shaded dress with gold threadings suddenly stood up. Junior Apprentice Sister Yao He, what is it? Wen Ji Liu and the other man who were also at the Essence Building Realm were able to sense the unusual behaviour from her and hastily asked. This junior apprentice sister called Yao He coldly snorted, she even took out a Blue Lotus shaped Artefact, then she jumped onto the Artefact and immediately flew off from above the ring. Flying Type Artefact. the Cang Qin Academys students suddenly became restless, in their view, an Artefact capable of flight was even more rare that a Pure Spiritual Root. ..... Ning Chengs one hand was pressing on his bloodstained abdomen, and another hand was supporting Ji Luo Fei, his heart was as cold as ice. He knew that today, it would be absolutely impossible to escape, however, he wasnt sure that after death, would he be able to return to the Earth or not. His younger sister wouldnt be able to find him no matter how she searched, she should be very worried, right? Ning Cheng looked at the dark blue sky, and thought of Ruo Lan. While Ning Cheng was stupidly gazing at the distant sky, Ji Luo Fei knew resisting would mean more humiliation and nothing more. This moment, she forgot about the iing fate of death and suddenly asked, Ning Cheng, before, you said you couldnt marry me because I am very ugly, right? Ning Cheng suddenly smiled and replied, Luo Fei, you are not ugly. It was because we are not people of the same world. Furthermore, Ning Cheng did not say that, at present, he would somewhat prefer being together with Ji Luo Fei than any of the pretty and beautiful women. Besides, excluding his younger sister Ruo Lan, his heart was closed like the ocean to any beautiful women. You wouldnt know at what time they would suddenly show you a knife and that too, without any reasons. Even Tian Mu Wan, that kind of gentle and graceful girl, was not excluded from this, let alone other people. Ji Luo Fei was silent, she didnt know what Ning Cheng meant when he said that they were not from the same world. She thought Ning Cheng spoke that because she would leave the Cang Qin Province in the future, therefore, was not one of the people of the same world. What about now? We are going to die anyways. Ji Luo Feis voice had just fallen when a long whip had already swept over. Both she and Ning Cheng together didnt have the capability to resist it, they could only watch that long whip as it swept over. Bang, Bang two muffled sounds echoed, at the very next moment a long whipshed towards the men at the Qi Gathering 6th Level who were standing in front of Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei. The whip flew with an immense explosive force inside it and smashed the thin man onto a giant boulder with a loud explosion and immediately the thin man at the Qi Gathering 6th Level threw up a mouthful of blood. At the same moment, the other Qi Gathering 6th Level man also met with a simr explosion, and in the same manner was smashed on to the side of the giant boulder and sprouted a mouthful of blood. Senior...... the two men at the Qi Gathering 6th Level had serious injuries, so much so that even their Meridians were also damaged, they were very shocked. Simultaneously, those two became aware that the one who had thrown out that whip had a cultivation level which surpassed theirs by far. Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei felt a heavy pressure, but only saw a woman standing in front of them radiating hostility. Ning Cheng was the first to recognize this woman, she was the female elder from the Falling Star 5 Star Academy who hade to recruit students. But why would she suddenly appear here? And even extend a helping hand in such a situation? What is your name? This woman looked at Ji Luo Fei who was leaning on Ning Cheng and just spoke one sentence. Ning Cheng worked his mind, he felt that the woman standing before him and Ji Luo Fei had some simrities, does she and Ji Luo Fei have some kind of rtionship? Chapter 0013 – Ning Cheng’s Plight Chapter 0013 C Ning Chengs Plight This junior is named Ji Luo Fei. Ji Luo Fei also felt that she and this woman had some kind of rtion. If she was not disfigured, maybe this feeling would have been more obvious. You really are of the Ji n ......... this womans voice was trembling, her tone of speaking was clearly not the tone one used to inquire, but was purely emotional. At this moment, the two Qi Gathering 6th Level men who were of the Xian n had already crawled up, and spoke out in panic, Senior......... To go as far as to hurt my Ji ns people in this way, you are courting death. This womans mood was agitated but had no ce to vent, the luck of the two men from the Xian n was bad for again speaking out which suddenly made her recall that Ji Luo Fei was seriously injured. In a sh, she turned around, shooting out two ck lights. Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei, at one side were only able to hear two pu, pu sound, these two cultivators at Qi Gathering 6th Level simply werent prepared and at once changed into two dried up husks. The flesh under their skins, under the bombardment of the two ck lights, unexpectedly disappeared within several breaths. Ning Cheng drew in a cold breath, he had never killed anyone however he had always been courageous, situations which could make him panic were very rare. However, he too was frightened by this womans dreadful way of doing things. She had just merely raised her hands and the two ck lights shot out which transformed those two cultivators at Qi Gathering 6th Level into dried husks, how terrifying was this? Could this be the might of the Essence Building Realm? What are the names of your grandfather and your parents? How did youe to the Ping Continents Cang Qin Province? After she finished killing the two cultivators of the Qi Gathering 6th Level, this woman continued as if she felt nothing, and asked Ji Luo Fei. Simultaneously, she threw a medicine pellet into Ji Luo Feis mouth, and Ning Cheng, even though his injury was not light, she, however, looked as if she didnt care. Ji Luo Fei, quickly replied, My grandfather is Ji Yuan Ying, my father is Ji Xuan Zhang, my mother is Xiong Qi Hua. That year, it was grandfather who brought me to the Cang Qin Province, he told me that something bad happened to my parents in Daan forest. This womans eyes had be red, she couldnt help but embrace Ji Luo Fei and spoke, Luo Fei, I am your paternal aunt, Ji Yao He. Paternal aunt? Ji Luo Fei looked unbelievably towards Ji Yao He. She really couldnt imagine how she suddenly had such a powerful aunt, this was simply like a dream. Seeing Ji Luo Fei in a daze, Ji Yao He immediately spoke, Luo Fei, take me immediately to your grandfather. Grandfather Ji has already passed away. Ning Cheng had already figured out why this woman had helped Ji Luo Fei and him and immediately replied from the side. At the same time, he began to calm down and felt relieved in his heart, Ji Luo Fei had such a powerful aunt, presumably their escape from the Cang Qin Province would not be a problem. Who are you again? Ji Yao He was just reminded of Ning Chengs presence, before when she saw Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei, their rtion seemed to be a bit unusual and had no time to ask, but she now remembered and asked. Ji Luo Fei had just recovered from such a huge shock, and quickly replied, He is Ning Cheng, Grandfather Ning and Grandfather Ji were very close friends, after Grandfather Ji passed away, he entrusted me to the Ning n for a better home. Ji Luo Feis reply was very simple, she did not say anything about the rtionship between she and Ning Cheng, she also did not say that Ning Chengs grandfather had also died. She had not yete to ept her from the heart that she was her paternal aunt, it was somewhat bizarre to her. Ji Yao He understood Ji Luo Feis mood and softly said, Luo Fei, when I was taken off to the Hua Continent, you were in the Ning n, just remember, that your grandfather was my fourth uncle. When I returned a few years ago, the Ji n had already disappeared, I looked around and could not find a single member of my Ji n. Fourth uncle, who came to the Ping Continent, should have escaped home during the catastrophe. Luo Fei,ter your aunt went back to the Hua Continent, otherwise she would have been hunted down. Yes, Aunt Ji Luo Fei felt her heart warm up after hearing her speak, her aunt had suddenly appeared, she was no longer confused or lost as before. This aunt, although she did not look like a blood rtive, they mutually epted each other. Ji Yao Hesst words were also a concern for her. But the person who made her feel like she could depend on and also made the deepest impression on her, was Ning Cheng and his remark Listen to me, just follow me. Auntie, Grandfather Ning had adopted me, Ning Cheng is the only remaining person alive from the Ning n, he also remained in the Cang Qin Province...... Ji Luo Fei did not finish saying her words, when Ji Yao He came to understand and immediately said, Dont worry, I will keep him in mind. Ji Luo Fei felt her heart loosen up a bit, her aunt seemed very powerful, since she said that she would protect Ning Cheng, then it would definitely be alright. Ning Chengs heart sank, he was not as simple as Ji Luo Fei. Ji Yao He did not say that she would protect him, but said that she would keep him in mind, there were only a few differences, but it was best to not think about it too much. Come up. Ji Yao He once again brought out the Blue Lotus-shaped Flying Type Artefact and said to Ji Luo Fei and Ning Cheng. Is this a Flying Type Artefact? Ning Cheng asked in a shocked voice, as he had some understandings about the Artefacts. He had read and memorized the thin leather book that was passed down in the Ning n, he knew that in the Yi Xing Maind, the cultivators could use Artefacts, and these Artefacts also had different grades. Talismans were the Artefacts of the first grade, jewels could be fitted on the Artefacts used and would be of a higher grade, also if the jewels had a spirit, then it would be a Soul Artefact and would have mystical powers. Ji Yao He lightly said, Yes, this is a top grade Flying Type Artefact. Looking at the Blue Lotus-shaped Artefact under his feet, Ning Cheng was very excited, these things were like legends, and he was actually able to see such a thing. If he could practice cultivation to such a level, then maybe one day, he could really fly in the air. Without power, he did not even have any such mechanism, the Flying Type Artefact totally depended on the persons power to fly. Luo Fei, was you face ruined by the Xian n? I will return and exterminate the entire Xian n. When Ji Yao He said about exterminating the Xian n, her tone immediately became cold and fierce. Ji Luo Fei quickly said, You should not, when I was still very young, it seemed that the Ji n was facing difficulties. the subordinates of Grandfather Ji gradually decreased inexplicably, and finally one night, there was a man who rushed into the Ji n. That night I was disfigured, when Grandpa Ning finally was able to catch up, Grandfather Ji, before dying, told him to take me away. While Ji Luo Fei was speaking, the Lotus came back to the challenge arena of the Cang Qin Academy. Junior Apprentice Sister Yao He, this is? Wen Ji Liu saw Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei with Ji Yao He, and asked in a puzzled way. Ji Yao He pointed to Ji Luo Fei and said, This is my niece Ji Luo Fei, she followed my fourth uncle and wandered into the Cang Qin Province, she is the only one left, I want to take her back to the country. Wen Ji Liu did not talk much, with a stiff face he said, Since Junior Apprentice Sister Yao He has found her niece, you must take her home with you, so one of the ten people here have to be swiped next. The ten seeded students who were standing on the stage, when they heard those words, their hearts suddenly thumped. Now those ten people finally understood, that although they were seeded, in fact they had to be selected by them. Because these people were from the Falling Star Academy, they simply did not want to waste their time on these challenges, they just wanted to finish it as fast as possible and go back. Now that they casually said that they were going to swipe out one of the ten. No one wanted to go ahead, only a fool would give up the opportunity to go to a 5 Star Academy for cultivating. Ji Yao He swept her eyes over the ten people, and suddenly pointed to Gu Yuming and said, You go down. As a cultivator at the Essence Building Realm, when Ji Yao He said that Ji Luo Fei was her niece, obviously Gu Yuming felt an extreme shock in his mind, it can even be said to be fear. Whether this was because she felt Gu Yumings fear or not, it could not be said, she just pointed at him and asked him to leave the group of 10 people standing there. When Gu Yuming heard her, he suddenly got into panic, if not for the 5 Star Academy, then if he wanted to reach a higher level, it would be absolutely impossible. Thinking about this, he simply cupped his fists and said, Members of the Falling Star Academy, this junior of the Cang Qin Academy here is one of the top disciples of the Academy, to go to the Falling Star Academy is this disciples life dream. Junior hopes that the several seniors here do justice ......... Gu Yuming had not finished speaking, when he saw a shadow to his side, and then felt that he was kicked out of the stage. She told you to get lost, so get lost, why is there so much nonsense. With his body in the air, Gu Yuming heard Wen Ji Lues ice cold voice. Aunt, also Ning Cheng. Ji Luo Fei, just now realized that even if her aunt was Falling Star Academys teacher, wanting to casually go with her aunt as one wished was not a simple matter. Therefore, she hurriedly reacted when Ning Cheng spoke. Before, her aunt only guaranteed Ning Cheng to be all right, but didnt say Ning Cheng could also go with her. Falling Star Academys decision, there werent any people who would stand up to go against it. Even if Cang Qin Provinces King and Cang Qin Academys Dean were here, they would be the same and not dare to retort. Hearing Ji Luo Feis words, Wen Ji Lue however, wrinkled his brows, immediately looking at Ji Yao He, spoke, Junior Apprentice Sister Yao He, you found your niece, it is still possible to ept her, we also dont need to test her Spiritual Root. However, this boy, if his Spiritual Root is not anything great, then wanting to take him away, Im afraid it would be out of question. Ji Yao He also frowned, there wasnt any chance to speak. Sitting beside the Cang Qin Academys Dean, a man stood up. This man had a brown face and his face looked as unsightly as the rust born from a piece of a broken iron. Seniors from the Falling Star Academy, this junior is the Cang Qin Academys Vice Dean, Yong Zhang Yan. I also know this Ning Cheng, before he relied on the position of the young master of the Ning n, scolding Miss Ji Luo Fei unjustly whenever he came in contact with her, not only that, hepletely considered her as the Ning ns ve girl. The Vice-Dean, after saying the few sentences, once again cupped his fists and then sat down. Basically, he didnt mention about Ning Chengs Spiritual Root, he was certain that Ning Cheng must test his Spiritual Root to go to Falling Star Academy. Ji Yao He stood up, with an ice-coldplexion, looked coldly towards Ning Cheng and spoke, Boy, was it really as such? Daring to take Luo Fei as a ve girl and you are unexpectedly still alive? Ning Cheng was immediately speechless. Before his rebirth, he was indeed as such, but how would he exin that? You are courting death. Seeing Ning Cheng unable to exin, Ji Yao He immediately knew what Yong Zhang Yan said was true and so, she suddenly waved her hand towards Ning Cheng. Chapter 0014 – A Slap On The Face Chapter 0014 C A p On The Face Dont............ Ji Luo Fei felt her soul flying out and scattering away, she herself had seen this aunt, just a short while ago, lifting her hand and changing two Qi Gathering 6th Level cultivators into dried up husks. If her aunt shot the same way, then wouldnt Ning Cheng also turn into a dried up husk? Ji Yao He originally didnt intend to kill Ning Cheng, she felt that the rtion between Luo Fei and Ning Cheng was not so simple. Now that Luo Fei was stopping her, she immediately released her hand, somewhat resentfully looking at Ji Luo Fei, spoke, Luo Fei, this boy had bullied you and you are unexpectedly still helping him by pleading for his leniency? Ji Luo Fei impatiently spoke, No, the present Ning Cheng is different from before, he hasnt bullied me...... Ning Cheng secretly sighed, Ji Luo Fei was too honest, if only she said that what Yong Zhang Yan spoke were lies, wouldnt that be okay? Could Yong Zhang Yan still dare to dispute against Ji Yao He? Ji Luo Fei speaking like this, how couldnt it be apparent that Ning Cheng had previously bullied her? So, before, you really were bullied. Ji Yao He, although didnt n to kill Ning Cheng, her heart was already filled with iparable hatred towards Ning Cheng. Ji Luo Fei spoke in panic, Aunt, I beg you to help Ning Cheng, if Ning Cheng isnt able to go, and he is alone here, it will be the same as having one foot in the grave. Also, I wont be able to have calm mind even if I depart here. That man with the rigidplexion, suddenly spoke, Junior Apprentice Sister Yao He, you must allow this Ning Cheng to go test his Spiritual Root, if his Spiritual Root isnt bad, then it isnt a big matter to take him away. You go test your Spiritual Root. Ji Yao He spoke coldly to Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng himself knew that his Spiritual Root was very inferior, now in this current situation he and Ji Luo Fei simply couldnt take control of it. He could only walk towards the Spiritual Root Testing Artefact. In front of the Artefact, he stretched his hand out and touched the palm print indentation on it, simultaneously sending out some Qi into the Artefact. Three light yellow beams rose to a height of three feet and stopped, the crystal pir in the centre had no especially thick light beam in it. The meaning was very clear, he did not have any Main Spiritual Root, only three Support Spiritual Roots, and these Support Spiritual Roots were only slightly better than a murky yellow one. Ning Cheng actually did not care, he knew that his Spiritual Roots were poor. But he was a bit surprised, as he heard from Ji Luo Fei in the past that he had a three-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, and it was even turbid yellow. Although he still had a three-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, but it was not turbid yellow, but pale yellow. He did not know if the testing was done wrong or if Ji Luo Fei remembered wrong. Ji Luo Fei was also amazed when she saw Ning Chengs Spiritual Root Test results, she certainly knew that Ning Chengs Spiritual Root was a three-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, but ording to what she knew, it should have been turbid yellow in colour, how did it turn pale yellow? She had never heard that a Spiritual Root could change colours. Although she read in some legends that there were some special things in the world that could help change and improve ones Spiritual Root, but after all, they were just legends, even on the Yi Xing Maind there may not exist such a legendary spiritual thing. Luo Fei, your aunt will not help you. With his Spiritual Roots even if I wanted to take him and walk together with him, and atst arrive at our destination, the elders would not let him go, it would even implicate me and bring all sorts of troubles. Even if was only me, I would not be able to cut through the Ping Continent and arrive at the Falling Star Academy. Ji Yao He sighed, as she looked at Ji Luo Fei, who was in a daze. She was not crazy, even if she was already a cultivator at the Essence Building Realm, if she wanted to go across the two continents alone, then the possibility of falling through was very high. Seeing how Ji Yao He reacted this quickly towards Ning Chengs Spiritual Root Test result, she anxiously said, Aunt, if Ning Cheng cannot go, then I also cannot go. I would rather have Ning Cheng being taken away from here first, I will stay here...... Nonsense. Ji Yao He snapped back and knit her brows, then she turned around and stared coldly at the Cang Qin Academys Dean and the pale faced King of the Cang Qin Province, and said, Ning Cheng will remain in the Cang Qin Province, but if even a hair on him is touched or he is injured in any way, then I wille back and exterminate the entire Cang Qin Province. Ji Yao He saying that she would eradicate the entire province was obviously shocking, but the Cang Qins ruler who was just warned by her stood up respectfully and cupped his fists in front of him and said in a very respectful manner, Please rest assured seniors, Ning Cheng is also one of my people from the Cang Qin Province, and no one will unreasonably harm him. If someone tries to unreasonably harm him, I will not just idly sit by. Ning Chengs heart sank again, this kind of word y he had already seen too much. Ji Yao He yed it before, and now the King of Cang Qin Province was ying it. Although he said that no one would harm him unreasonably, that only meant that if they found a legitimate reason, then anyone can hurt him. Whats more, the guy even said that he would not sit back idly and watch, who knew what it meant? Ji Yao He nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Ji Luo Fei and said, Luo Fei, its alright now, certainly there will be no one now who would hurt Ning Cheng. Ji Luo Fei was obviously worried about Ning Cheng even when Ji Yao He downyed the threat, when she heard Ji Yao He talk like that, she became more anxious and said, Auntie, they will certainly make life difficult for Ning Cheng, I beg you please help Ning Cheng ...... When Ji Yao He heard Ji Luo Feis words, she frowned, in fact, she could feel that between Ji Luo Fei and Ning Cheng, there seemed to be emotions that went beyond ordinary. Ning Cheng not only had a distinct three-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, but it was even pale yellow, in this life Ning Cheng had no future, for Luo Fei and Ning Cheng to be together, it would only end up ruining Luo Fei. She had not tested out Luo Feis qualifications, but Luo Fei was already under 20 years old and was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, so her qualifications were definitely not too bad. At this moment, she would rather walk out in front, and kill Ning Cheng in front of the people from the Cang Qin Province. If Ji Yao He could think of such things, then of course, the crafty little Wen Ji Lue could also think of such things, but since he had nothing to do with it, he was not willing to say more than a few words. Seeing Ji Luo Fei was about to speak once more, Ji Yao He raised her hands and ced them on Ji Luo Feis body, Ji Luo Fei immediately passed out. With Ji Luo Fei held in her hands, Ji Yao He looked at Ning Cheng and said in a cold voice, No matter what rtionship exists between you and Ji Luo Fei, that is now a thing of the past. From now on, you are not allowed to even think of Luo Fei, she no longer has any rtionship with you. Having said this, she turned towards Wen Ji Lue and the other man and said, Two brothers, Ill head out first, I will be waiting on the airship for you. Ji Yao He immediately took out the Blue Lotus shaped Flying Type Artefact, and disappeared from there along with Ji Luo Fei. Wen Ji Lue also didnt want to continue waste his time in selecting the students, for him, this was already a great harvest, he was able to find such a genius disciple. So when Ji Yao He was gone, he said, Cang Qin Academys selection of disciple ends here, the nine students standing on the ring, I am giving you an hour, so that you can handle your own affairs. After that, immediately assemble here. Once you go to the Falling Star Academy, at what time would you be able toe back, even I am not sure about it. The selected students were clearly very excited and quickly left the ring, they were going back to prepare, then they would leave the Cang Qin Province of the Ping Continent. Although the continent that they were going to was just adjacent, it was almost considered as an Intermediate ss Continent, even the Spiritual Qi there was also very abundant, there were even arge variety of treasures avable in that ce. Whats more, who wouldnt want to go a continents 5 Star Academy? This selection of the students from a general assembly was unworthy of its name nor did it made any sense. They said that they would fairly choose from the selected students, they might as well say that a few people from the Falling Star Academy came to the Can Qin Academy, selected a few random students and then left the Academy early. Unfortunately, the tens of thousands of Cang Qin Academys students were just helpless and could only disperse. Ning Cheng knew, that from now on the only person he could only rely on was himself. Fortunately, this was the ending time of the assembly, pressing forward, Ning Cheng hid himself in the midst of the students, he wanted to hurry towards the outside of the Academy, he wanted to leave as fast as possible. Ning Cheng, why did that ugly Ji girl decide to protect you? Why do I see you as an anxious homeless dog now? Ning Cheng had just stepped out of the gate of Cang Qin Academy, when he heard a harsh voice filled with sarcasm. Gu Fei, what are you gonna do? Did you forget what Ji Luo Feis aunt said just now? The two elders from the Falling Star Academy have not gone yet. This voice belonged to a girl, Ning Cheng saw that the one who helped him was Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang. At the same time, he also knew that the person who just ridiculed him was Gu Fei, Gu Feis brother Gu Yuming had some vendetta with Ji Luo Fei, he knew that now since he could not even touch her, so as a result he wanted to vent out on Ning Cheng and make his life very difficult. At this time, he saw a familiar face which was sinister and vicious walking towards him, this was none other than Gu Yuming. Gu Feis stature was not high, at most he came up to Ning Chengs chin, but he had an extremely savage and ferocious look on his face, although he did not dare to kill Ning Cheng, but he also swore not to give up. Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang, this is a vendetta between Gu Fei and Ning Cheng, maybe they should have a fight at the Duelling tform. People like us should not intervene, right? Gu Yuming hade, after being pushed down from the ring, he kept a close eye on Ning Cheng all the time. Gu Fei listened to his brothers words, raised his eyebrows and said, Yes, that Ji girl is really ugly, she even dared to cheat me of my Qi Gathering Stone. Initially when I gave the Qi Gathering Stone to her, I wanted her to apany me to bed, but she went back on her promise, now that ugly Ji is not here, I can only find and vent my anger on someone with the surname Ning. Oh, Gu Fei, you say Ji Luo Fei is so ugly, do you dare to? A cynical female voice sounded, Ning Cheng knew the woman this voice belonged to, she hade together with Lu Peng Yun to cause trouble for Ning Cheng, ultimately resulting in Senior Sister Zhuang to drive off the girl who was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level I was counting on turning off the light for the same...... Gu Fei hadnt finished, when he heard the sound of a snap, his face was pped by Ning Cheng. After that Ning Cheng quickly took a few steps back, and rapidly began to retreat. Several teeth and blood flew out from Gu Feis mouth after his face was pped ck and blue. At this moment, almost all the people were shocked into silence, Ning Cheng, did this guy wanted to die that badly by the hands of Gu Fei? He even went ahead and directly pped him, was his brain dead? Gu Yuming face turned sour, but he did note forward. He was confident that Ning Chengs sneak attack, although seeded, if they really started fighting, then his brother Gu Fei could easily kill Ning Cheng. Gu Fei reacted instantly, he suddenly wanted to kill Ning Cheng because he attacked his face, How dare you attack me? I will kill you, you bastard. Ning Cheng disdainfully looked at Gu Fei and said, You want to kill me? Come on. Just now didnt the King of the Cang Qin Province ordered, that whoever tried to kill me in an unjustified way, he would not let them out lightly. Does that mean you dont even put the King in your eyes? I am also a person of Cang Qin, is this how you think about the hierarchy here? How would you even defend against foreign enemies like this? Gu Fei abruptly stopped, he was jolted by the words of Ning Cheng, although he wanted to kill him. Ning Cheng was right, the King made themitment in front of a lot of people, and if he arbitrarily went and killed Ning Cheng, how would he be able to justify it? Chapter 0015 – Kill Chapter 0015 C Kill Gu Fei abruptly stopped, he was jolted by the words of Ning Cheng, although he wanted to kill him. Ning Cheng was right, the King made themitment in front of a lot of people, and if he arbitrarily went and killed Ning Cheng, how would he be able to justify it? Thinking this, Gu Fei sneered and said, Ning Cheng, you really are smart, before I had no reason to challenge you but now you hit me in the face. The Duelling tform is over there, if do not dare go there, then Ill start with your grandfathers crotch, and say that the ugly Ji woman ......... Gu Fei, you are at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, but still want to challenge a person at Qi Gathering 1st Level, do you have any shame? Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang said with some anger. Gu Yuming replied calmly, Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang, I would like it if you would stay fair, not because Gu Fei is my brother. A Qi Gathering 1st Level student dare to take the initiative to hit a Qi Gathering 3rd Level student, dont say that Gu Fei is not taking the Academy into ount, he is issuing a formal challenge to Ning Cheng. Even if he kills Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng can only me himself for it. Ning Chengughed, and cutting into the words spoken by Gu Yuming said, What are you two brothers, who are garbage, discussing in front of your father, you want to challenge your father, fine, I, your father, ept your challenge. Taking a sigh of relief, he thought that in any case he was already a dead man, so before he ends up dying, he would definitely kill Gu Fei. Ning Cheng, you are just at the Qi Gathering 1st Level, if you and Gu Fei fight, the end result will be ....... Zhuang Tianya knew that Ning Cheng had no choice, but still she could not help but say these words. Ning Cheng certainly knew that he did not have any other choice, so before Zhuang Tianya could say anything else he interjected, Thank you Senior Apprentice Sister Zhuang for helping me so many times, if this Ning Cheng has an opportunity in the future, then this Ning Cheng would certainly repay the favour the Senior Apprentice Sister has shown to him. Humph, piece of thrash, you already know that its a bad fix for the challenge, even then you really have the guts to go do such a thing. A contemptuous voice which was filled with disdain arrived. Ning Cheng recognized this man, he was one of the seeded students to join the Falling Star Academys selection, named Hou Chuan. He was a genius; he usually only knows how to cultivate. He also just arrived at the gate of the Academy, and said those words in a sarcastic tone. Gu Yuming face turned ugly, if it was someone else, he would have taught him a lesson already. But he did not dare face Hou Chuan, its not the Hou Chuans cultivation level was worse than his, but with Hou Chuans status, he did not dare make a move against him. Ning Cheng knew that Hou Chuan was giving him a bit of a fighting chance, and then turned to Gu Fei and said, You challenged me and I epted. Since you are the challenger, then of course I will choose the rules of the Duel. Gu Fei said with disdain, You can choose, no matter what kind of method you choose, I Gu Fei will also follow it. Okay, since I am at the Qi Gathering 1st Level, then if we battle, it would clearly be unfair. But I am still very confident of my own speed, so why dont wepare our speeds. Both of us will start at the gates of the Cang Le City, and run along in the direction of the Daan Forest, the person who isst to reach it, would be killed. Ning Cheng said in a nonchnt way. On hearing Ning Chengs words, all the people came to understand, that originally he was thinking for a way to escape. However, this was a bit too good to be true, if he could escape with such a method, then what was the point of anyone cultivating. Some of the on looking students even chuckled, hearing Ning Chengs idea, they thought that he really was naive. After listening to him, Hou Chuan shook his head, turned away from the crowd and quickly moved away. If it was him, even if he was to end up dying, he would still face Gu Fei on the Duelling tform for a showdown to measure his strength. He would never try to escape, and then be insulted and then finally be killed. Therefore, he had no interest in watching Ning Chengs duel, he wanted to go to the Cang Le City to buy several things, so thatter when he was going out of the continent, he would have a souvenir or two as a memento. Zhuang Tianya was silent as she shook her head, she did not think that Ning Cheng woulde up with such a childish way. A Qi Gathering 1st Level cultivator, even if he was faster, how could he beat a cultivator at Qi Gathering 3rd Level? Gu Fei also clearly understood the meaning of Ning Chengs words, with a sneer he thought, trying to escape from my hands? Stop dreaming. The duelling method proposed by Ning Cheng did not contradict him, even though Ji Luo Feis aunt had given out a fake threat, but at least he had to make it look like it was clean on the surface. Moreover, the King of Cang Qin had also said that no one can cause trouble for Ning Cheng unreasonably. Now he just wanted Ning Cheng to flee like a mouse trying to escape, currently he had no ce to kill Ning Cheng, and yet if Ning Cheng ran, it would only coincide with what he meant. He was sure that even if others came to know that Ning Cheng was killed, no one would question him about it afterwards. Sure enough when Gu Fei saw his brother, Gu Yuming nod to him, apparently he also wanted to kill Ning Cheng in a ce where no one would be able to see. Ok, I agree with your approach, of going out of the city. Gu Feis eyes shed with murder, and was the first to leave. Ning Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that Gu Fei would certainly agree, but he was afraid that the others would be able to see his true cultivation level. Once the people knew that he was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, rather that Qi Gathering 1st Level, then no one would have agreed with his proposal of having a race out of the city. Zhuang Tianya was in no mood to see Ning Cheng getting killed, she was soon going to leave the Cang Qin Province, and needed to go back to her family and exin it. But the students of the Cang Qin Academy were very excited as they had nothing better to do, they wanted to know if Gu Fei would really end up killing Ning Cheng when he ran out ...... The status of the students of the Cang Qin Academy was very high, with so many students going out to the city, it immediately caused a huge sensation. The road leading out to the city, became very active as the people on the road stepped aside to let them pass. Even after half an hour, there was still a line of peopleing towards the Cang Le City. Looking back at the vicissitudes of the ancient city of Cang Le, Ning Cheng let out a sigh in his heart. Since there was no one blocking his path, it took him just a bit more than an hour to get to the citys gates. He could affirm that, even if he and Ji Luo Fei managed to escape from the two men at the Qi Gathering 6th Level who hade to kill them, they would still be unable to get out of the Cang Le City safely. He came to understand that his thinking before was too naive. This is thest time in your entire life that you would be seeing Cang Le City, take a good look at it till your hearts content, rest assured, I wont let you run far. Seeing the pale look on Ning Chengs face, Gu Fei said with a sneer. Ning Cheng did not bother to pay any attention to him, turning his back to the students who hade to spectate, he cupped his fists and said, Now Ill go, Gu Fei as long as you can catch up to me, you can then kill me. With that, Ning Cheng did not speak anymore nonsense and rushed out. He had never been out of the city before, so him running out now felt strange to him. Gu Fei, Gu Yuming and the others, looking at Ning Chengs running speed and posture, with his strength and luck, they knew that they did not think wrongly, Ning Cheng just wanted to use this opportunity to escape. Unfortunately, Ning Chengs cultivation level was too low, with his ability, even if it was an ordinary person at Qi Gathering 1st Level, they could easily catch up to him and kill him. Gu Fei who was standing near the people on the side-lines said, I am going to y with a clown. Having said this, he just moved his body a little, and came very close to Ning Cheng. But Gu Fei did not stop Ning Cheng, but rather sent out a Wind Edge towards his back, instantly blood blossomed on Ning Chengs back. At this point the people who came to watch a spectacle lost their interest, they thought that Ning Cheng, who believed that he could escape, but came up with such a naive approach. Gu Fei was now entirely ying with Ning Cheng, what was the point for them in watching this? Some of the students went back to the Academy. The reason why they came out was to see if Ning Cheng really had the ability to escape, since he clearly did not, then what was the point in watching? Gu Yuming smiled to the crowd of people lifting his fist he said, Ill go and see him. Having calmly said this he just slowly followed behind, although he said that he was going to look, the speed at which he was moving was clearly much slower that Ning Chengs speed. Although there were no friends of Ning Cheng, looking at the Gu brothers killing a person at Qi Gathering 1st Layer, no one wanted to join in that kind of fun. If one looked at the past results, wasnt it obvious that he should not have offended the Gu brothers? With Gu Yuming slowly following behind, it was obvious that he wanted to see how long this y wouldst. Although Ning Cheng was being suppressed by Gu Feis several Wind Edges, once he could not see the Cang Le City, he finally sped up, but his breathing became more intense, Seeing Ning Cheng speed up puzzled Gu Fei, but then he immediately felt the pace of Ning Cheng was superficial. At this point he felt that the Qi in Ning Cheng was in disorder, and he was running entirely on the strength of his willpower alone. Lets call it, your grandfather is in no mood to pursue you anymore. just as Gu Fei said this, he picked up speed while at the same time brought out a Sword Light to cut him into two. Ning Cheng suddenly turned, and almost instantaneously, escaped the shadow of Gu Feis sword. As his body moved to the right of the bully Gu Fei, he sent out a me Edge. Gu Fei did not have to look Ning Cheng in the eyes, this time when he saw Ning Cheng suddenly elerate, he knew that he was deceived by Ning Cheng. Ning Chengs reaction speed, and the momentum of his me Edge, was not of a cultivator of Qi Gathering 1st Level, but of a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level. Even if he was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, he could not escape the me Edge that wasing towards him. It was toote for Gu Fei to think how Ning Cheng reached Qi Gathering 3rd Level suddenly, he hastily tried to twist his body, he wanted to avoid Ning Chengs me Edge, but it seemed that Ning Chengs me Edge had eyes of its own, as it directly flew towards Gu Feis arm and chest as it exploded with a bang. Gu Fei, count yourself lucky, little ol me does not have the time to slowly cook you, in the future your brother will also slowly follow you. Eat my de...... Ning Cheng threw out another me Edge, from this me Edge of Ning Cheng, Gu Fei felt a great deal of danger. Poof this me Edge almost cleaved Gu Fei in two, he could clearly feel his body being torn apart from his abdomen filling his body with an iparable pain a momentter. Ning Chengs heart sank, he was immediately aware of what had happened, this was because hecked anybat experience, he did not think that Gu Fei would die with his attack, he came to understand that it was because he and Gu Fei were fighting too closely. Although Gu Fei died before he could carry out his revenge on Ning Cheng, it was no longer untenable, as Ning Cheng had almost directly split him into two parts. Ning Cheng forced back his injury, his cloths were torn in many ces, then he grabbed Gu Feis dead body and quickly ran forward, as blood dripped all along the way. After running about a hundred meters, Ning Cheng suddenly backtracked his steps and then changed his direction while he quickly fled. This time, he was more than ten time faster than Gu Fei when he was chasing him. Ning Cheng was very clear that if he didnt speed up, and Gu Yuming came, then he really would die. At this time, he took the sword that was hung on Gu Feis back, lifted his arm and set fire to Gu Feis corpse, after Gu Feis body waspletely burned to charcoal, he forcibly threw his burnt body into therge pond that was by the side of the road. Chapter 0016 – Little Nun An Yi Chapter 0016 C Little Nun An Yi Although he was able to get off Gu Feis plot of killing him off his chest, but his injuries were also fierce. However, because he had a strong desire to live, Ning Cheng still went faster and faster, he did not care that his injuries were hurting, he only wanted to run away with all his might, he even circted the Qi throughout his body to the extreme, he did not even let a single drop of his blood to fall down. ...... Gu Yuming stopped when he saw arge pool of blood beneath his feet. Obviously he came to the conclusion that two men had fought here, there were even torn pieces of clothes scattered on the ground. The cloth pieces were also drenched in blood, but he knew that these were not the clothes of Gu Fei, but of Ning Cheng. Gu Yuming nodded with satisfaction, looking in the direction in which the blood disappeared, he stopped. He knew why the blood was this spread out, it was not because Ning Cheng escaped, but rather Gu Fei wanted to y with Ning Cheng, letting Ning Cheng run and then allowing him to taste death was something that he wanted to do. After he understood this, Gu Yuming no longer ran, but just simply walked along the path sttered with blood, he even did not check the circumstances of the surroundings. With Gu Yumings cultivation, if he had been a bit more careful, then he would have certainly found out that Ning Cheng had gone in in another direction, but he did not even think to consider this. After all, ording to him Ning Cheng was just a cultivator of Qi Gathering 1st Level, while Gu Fei was at Qi Gathering 3rd Level, how would he able to change directions, if he could it would really be odd. Ning Cheng ran to his extreme, but he was also getting dizzy, in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his eyes had begun to go dark, Ning Cheng knew that he had pushed his body to its extreme limit. He was also well aware that he was still absolutely not safe, he was certain that Gu Yuming would find him, it was just a matter of time. Bang Ning Cheng staggered a bit, as he tripped on a stone and fell into a ditch on the roadside. Ning Cheng was already sleepy but when fell into the cold water in the ditch, he immediately became sober. He quickly grabbed at the weeds on the road side, wanting to use them to climb up and continue to run, but it was as if he was apletely burnt out oilmp, he simply did not have any strength, just by making the slightest effort, he ended up falling down into the water again. But with a strong will to live, it let Ning Cheng to once again catch the weeds on the edges of the ditch. Just when Ning Cheng was vigorously climbing out of the watery ditch, a big ten feet long snake rapidly approached Ning Cheng. When Ning Cheng saw the serpents oily green eyes, his heart filled with despair. This had nothing to do with his will, if it was a student then he could at least beg to let him live, but he wouldnt be able to flee from this fast snake. Looking at the big snake Ning Cheng felt that it could swallow him whole, he immediately took out his belt andshed out at the snake that wasing near him with all the strength that he could muster, which sent the snake flying. After itnded, it did not dare toe over, clearly it understood that the person it tried to sweep over was extremely difficult to handle. It hurriedly shifted its body around and disappeared in a sh. Ning Cheng rxed, it was only then that he saw a little nun wearing a deep blue gown sitting on a rock. That small nun was iparably beautiful, she had a few incense scars on her hand, but unexpectedly her cultivation level was also at Qi Gathering 3rd Level. At this moment, she opened her eyes and watched Ning Cheng attentively with her two enormous eyes, she hesitated a moment before timidly speaking, Are you okay? Ning Cheng, somewhat gloomily looked at this little nun and spoke, Young grand master, do I look like I a person that has nothing better to do? Hearing Ning Cheng call her a young grand master, this little nuns face became very red, she hurried went forward and pulled Ning Cheng up. She stuttered a bit while speaking, I am not a grandmaster, do you...... Ning Cheng didnt want to waste time and as this little nun was refusing that she was a grandmaster, he immediately said, Will you do me a favour, help me escape from this ce, someone is trying to kill me. Why? The little nun was clearly anxious to learn about Ning Chengs predicament. Ning Cheng wanted to say that it was not the time to ask why, but as he became more and more aware of his surroundings, he just simply replied in a weak voice, I saw a couple of Late Stage Qi Gathering bandits forcing a little nun to be their concubine, I was able to save the nun butter the several bandits came to kill me, and they soon are going to ...... What is a concubine? It is a woman who marries someone who is already married. The little nun listened carefully, several Qi Gathering bandits wanted to catch the nuns and make them into their concubines, was she also not a nun. Understanding this point, the little nun did not ask anything again, she quickly helped Ning Cheng get up, Ning Cheng also did not care that his whole body was also drenched in water. Ning Cheng felt relieved in his heart, and after gathering some strength to speak, he said, The bandits are coborating with the Cang Le City. The farther you go, the better it would be...... Finished saying, Ning Cheng finally felt relieved and fainted ...... Gu Yuming stopped, he felt something was amiss. He walked a long way but saw no more bloodstains and moreover, he could not find any of their traces at all! He once again turned around and went back to where the bloodstains, stopped and bent over to look carefully, suddenly a bitter feeling rose up in his heart. This bloodstain abruptly stopped here, there were no other signs, it was as if they disappeared into thin air. Gu Yumings heart somewhat panicked, he rapidly turned around, one more time walking towards that bloodstained area. After carefully looking at the scattered pieces of clothes which Ning Cheng abandoned, he again looked all over the ce for a long time. Immediately, closing his eyes, he pondered for quite a while, after which he opened his eyes and choosing a direction, ran fast towards it. Within the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, he once again stopped, then stared nkly at the shallow pond beside the road. After a short period of time, he suddenly jumped into the middle of the pond, immediately grabbing apletely burnt corpse. The moment he grabbed the body, he understoodpletely, that this was definitely not Ning Chengs body, but his brother Gu Feis. Gu Yumings eyes turned red, a horrible and hideous killing aura filled his heart. Ssh Gu Yuming forgot that he was still standing in theke, with anger in both his heart and mind and suffering from such a huge psychological shock, he actually fell into theke. But then he suddenly leapt from theke to the shore, with his heart aching he howled out, Ning Cheng, I, Gu Yuming, vow that till I swallow you whole, I will never rest...... It waspletely unexpected, he did not expect such an ending, his younger brother who was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level was unexpectedly killed by Ning Cheng. This was absolutely impossible, surely someone must have helped Ning Cheng, otherwise how could he counter against Gu Fei who was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level. Regardless of how Ning Cheng did it, Gu Fei was already dead and he could not die again. ...... Ning Cheng woke up at night and heard an owls screech along with several unknown sounds which he felt to be somewhat gloomy and dreadful. In the darkness around him, he could only feel something icy cold and hard beneath him. Where is this? Could it be that I already died and went to hell? Ning Cheng felt around the surrounding with his hands and felt only hard and ice-cold stones all around. Are you awake? While Ning Cheng was guessing whether he was dead or not, the little nuns voice promptly arrived. The little nun was unexpectedly besides him. This moment, Ning Cheng smelled a burst of faint fragrance, and then immediately with a relieved voice, spoke, Thank you, little grandmaster, I did not expect nuns also liked using scents on their bodies. The words were spoken in order to rx the atmosphere as well as to let him feel the joy of still being alive. He did not die, Ning Cheng, of course didnt want to go to hell. He longed for being able to return to the Earth after death, in fact he knew that he was only deceiving himself. Even though he was re-born here, it was also possible that it was because of that yellow light. This kind of life after death, Ning Cheng did not want to risk it. I havent, ah!...... the timid little nuns voice arrived again. Ning Cheng suddenly realized, he had asionally smelled this kind of fragrance on Tian Mu Wans body. Tian Mu Wan clearly didnt like using perfumes, this clearly was the fragrance of her own body. Thinking till that point, Ning Cheng hurriedly changed the subject and spoke, Little grandmaster, there are night owls and wild beasts roaring around, are we inside the woods? Could this be Daan forest? I am An Yi, not a little grandmaster. the small nun spoke her name and then exined, This is not the Daan Forest, the distance from here to Daan Forest, even if you rode a beast it would take you many months and would still be very far. After Ning Cheng had spoken a few words, An Yis expression and her tone naturally also rose up. She was no longer looking timid. Ning Cheng sensed that his injury had recovered a lot, he knew for certain that An Yi had healed him, and he immediately spoke, An Yi, I am called Ning Cheng. Many thanks for saving me, if not for you, I would have certainly ended up dead. Before when I spoke of the bandits grabbing nuns, I was just deceiving you, I want to apologize to you. An Yi smiled slightly and said, I know I was very stupid, not knowing my priorities in that situation, I ought to have immediately escaped instead of questioning you at that time. Is there anything to eat? Aftering out of the Cultivation Tower, Ning Cheng had continuously been in a highly tensed situation one after the other. Afterwards, he even ran all the way, he was already famished. Now under safety, he immediately felt he couldnt endure his hunger. An Yi took out two wheat t cakes and gave them to Ning Cheng, I have several t cakes, you can eat it. Ning Cheng at once, swallowed down those two wheat t cakes and after drinking from An Yis water canteen, with a hushed tone, he spoke, An Yi, where did youe from? How could you appear in this neighbourhood? Hearing Ning Chengs question, An Yis expression immediately turned sad. Even though Ning Cheng didnt see it, he could feel the change in An Yis demeanour. If it is inconvenient to talk, then its better not to talk. In a persons life, inevitably, there will be several matters which are inconvenient to talk about, I am also the same. Previously, I also saved a person. That one time, there were several students in a mountain area, collecting folk songs when a sh flood burst out in the mountains. I rescued a girl student, afterwards we became friends, but there were many eventful matters which I havent told her. She also had many eventful matters which she hasnt told me, this is very normal, you need not put it in heart. Ning Cheng already knew that this little nun was very truthful and also very pure. One would wonder how was she able to survive in this ce, and that too alone. An Yi blinked her big eyes and asked, Ning Cheng, what is collecting folk songs? Collecting folk songs....... Ning Cheng thought of something good to say, It is eating till you are fully satisfied without doing anything, then finding something impractical to do. Or to say, wanting to go to somece fun and then finding a pretext, thats all. I am not collecting folk songs, I was always with my master, but I ended up separating from my master. I wanted to find some medicinal herbs, to allow my master to live for several more years. when An Yi spoke of separating from her master, her voice again became sad. Ning Cheng didnt find it strange, the small nun who was also at Qi Gathering 3rd Level, it would have been odd if she didnt have a master. Chapter 0017 – Kindness Is Not Something Expressed In Words Chapter 0017 C Kindness Is Not Something Expressed In Words The ce where you live, is it far away from here? Ning Cheng asked again, after taking a small time to adapt, Ning Cheng could already vaguely see that the ce he was at was a cave of sorts. An Yi quickly replied, So far, I sought out many ces but I could not find the Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia, so I ended up going farther and farther away. Now from the ce we are, I estimate it would take about five to six days to cover the distance back. What is the Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia? Ning Cheng was not clear on what kind of grass it was. Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia is a Rank 3 Spiritual Grass, I heard that it can prolong a persons life by 12 years. I want to find this Spiritual Grass to prolong my masters life. My master said, if she failed to wake up then I should say my goodbyes to her. I am very worried about master, without master, I also do not know where to go...... An Yis voice bes lower and lower, until she finally started to cry. Ning Cheng remained silent for some time, although he did not know about this Spiritual Grass, but he knew that a Rank 3 Spiritual Grass was absolutely one of the highest existences around here. If An Yi could casually go out and find such a high ranked Spiritual Grass, which many people were looking out for, how could they wait for her? Thinking of this, Ning Cheng said in aforting voice, I think the most important thing is to remain by your masters side, a Rank 3 Spiritual Grass is not something that could be easily found. Besides this Spiritual Grass called Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia would definitely try to hide its scent, how could such a Spiritual Grass wait for you to find it? No, thats not it. An Yi quickly refuted Ning Chengs words, The Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia will hide its scent only just before it is going to be picked. If you remain immobile, it would have no interest, if you do not believe me you can take a look at these. An Yi said while handing Ning Cheng some thick books. Ning Cheng did not understand the slightest thing about Spiritual Grasses, and now that he received so many books from An Yi, he hurriedly put them away and said, An Yi, it is clearly too dark now to read the books, lend me these books for a few days, after youe back again, I will give them back to you, OK? You can. after An Yi said, she seemed to have remembered something and quickly asked, Ning Cheng, do you want toe with me? Ning Cheng felt that he had gained some strength in his body and immediately said, Of course, not only will I go with you, we can even go now. If we wait for daybreak, we may not be able to leave. Ning Cheng did not want to depend purely on An Yi, he was sure that Gu Yuming would never let him go, as long as he came to know that he had killed Gu Fei, he was certain that that he wouldbine his power with Cang Qins Qin Guo to kill him. Not to mention that the Ning n was alsopletely exterminated by the Cang Qins Royalty, even if the Ning n was not exterminated by the Cang Qins royalty, with Gu Yumings familys status in the Cang Qin Province, it would be utterly simple for them to eradicate someone from the Cang Qin Province. Those who are hunting you to kill you, may not necessarily be able to find you here. I have stayed here for two nights; it is very safe. An Yi did not even mind it a little bit, in her view, there were mountains everywhere around here, even if the people looking for Ning Cheng to kill him came here, it would be absolutely impossible to find them. But Ning Cheng had to speak the facts to her and said, An Yi, I am not a bad person, the people who want to kill me are also not ordinary people. It is the King of Cang Qin Province who wants to kill me, so he would definitely send out his army to try and find me. If we stay here, the only thing that awaits us is death. An Yi nodded ordingly and said, Well, I certainly believe that you arent bad. Then I will listen to you. Where should we go after we leave this ce? We will first go to the ce where you live. Seeing An Yi agree to his idea, Ning Cheng immediately stood up and said. He wanted to send back An Yi, and then go on to the Mingot Sea area. An Yi was a little too simple and naive, not to say about a person going to look out for Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia, even if she found it, it would have been a strange affair. The scent of Spiritual Grass on ones body, is something that couldnt be hidden from other people easily. My master has been in closed door training for 7 or 8 days, she should be out soon, I would also like to get back to her at the earliest, but I was not able to find the Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia. An Yi was depressed, it was apparent that her inability to find the Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia was weighing heavily on her heart. Come on, dont think of such things. Ning Cheng first stood up, and encouraged An Yi. An Yi followed behind Ning Cheng, temporarily putting her thoughts about the Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia to the side. Here it was indeed just like An Yi had said, the ce they were hiding was surrounded with mountains one after another. Ning Cheng had been seriously injured, but after An Yis treatment, had be much better, plus he was also a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, so his recovery speed was also not slow. An Yi was also at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, that coupled with Ning Cheng, their speed of travelling was very fast. As the two people ran, by the time dawn broke, they were already very far from the cave they had hid in. Let me carry you. seeing Ning Cheng covered in blood and terribly tired, An Yi said with some worry in her voice. Ning Cheng just waved with his hand and said, No, if you carried me then our speed would definitely slow down, I would really like it if you went ahead first. So that if we really get intercepted, you would not get dragged into my troubles. An Yi did not understand and looking at Ning Cheng she asked, You mean, we still havent yet escaped to a safe ce? Ning Cheng heavily nodded, he affirmed that they were still not yet safe. With Cang Qins forces, the distance they had fled was still within the Cang Qin Provinces control range. Originally when he entered the huge forest, he had thought that he could hide in there, but now he did not think of it. Even though this was a huge mountain range, and although a person could hide here, but he would not have a secure feeling in this forest. Then well have to keep on running. An Yi quickly said. Ning Cheng shook his head and said, It would be useless, even if they let us run for an entire night. Even in that situation, we would not be able to escape while running at full speed. After a stopping for a bit, Ning Cheng took out the books about the Spiritual Grasses that An Yi had given him, giving them back to An Yi, he said, An Yi, you really are kind, if you really reach your master, then do not easily leave that ce. I give these books back to you, in case I get caught, it would be a pity if those bastards took it away. No...... An Yi hurriedly pushed it back, even though she and Ning Cheng were not familiar with each other, but from Ning Cheng, she could unexpectedly feel a bit of intimacy. Clip Clop Clip Clop.... There was a rapid sounds of horse shoes that interrupted Ning Cheng, Ning Chengs first reaction was to pull An Yi and flee. But he was too tired, and the horses were too fast, in just a short period of time, it had already arrived by Ning Chengs side. Young Master Ning...... a familiar voice came, Ning Cheng was able to immediately recognize who the rider was, with his face covered with scars, it was the father of the child he had saved earlier in the Cang Le City. Is it you? Ning Cheng asked while also being a bit surprised, he immediately thought about why would a man would rush here with a carriage this early in the morning? This middle aged man saw the bloodied body of Ning Cheng and immediately came to know what had transpired, he quickly stopped the coach and said, Young Master Ning, I was in front of the Ry Station in the previous town when I heard some things regarding you. It would be better if you quickly change your clothes, and get inside the carriage, I will take you away. Ning Chengs heart warmed up, when he had saved his little boy, this middle aged man was terrified to the point that he could not even say thanks. Now that he was in such a difficult situation, he did not even hesitate a bit to help him out, he knew that if he was caught, then he would end up dying a horrible death. It was true that kindness cannot be expressed with just a sentence, this middle aged man did not say much, but manifested it through his actions. It is too dangerous; I want to escape into the mountains. If I was caught sitting in your carriage, you would definitely be killed. Ning Cheng still chose to decline the middle aged mans kindness. The middle aged man seeing Ning Cheng refuse, hurriedly said in an anxious tone, You are the saviour of my little boy, my familys benefactor. How can I even let you suffer? With that, the middle aged man directly took out a set of cloths, handing them to Ning Cheng and said, Well, first put on these clean clothes, the clothes on you have a strong scent of blood on them. Ning Cheng gratefully took the clothes and asked, Where are you going so early? I go to Dean Town every month, there are many adventurers thate back from the Mingot Sea, they always bring back a lots of skins and various kinds of stuff. Because many of these beast carriages cannot directly go to the Cang Le City, so most of these vehiclee to stop at the Dean Town. Those adventures then hire our coaches to head back to the Cang Le City. I and a few other coach drivers are familiar with the roads nearby, so we usually walk through here, but I did not think that I would actually meet my familys benefactor here. This middle aged man rubbed his hands as he said these words that were filled with gratitude. Wait Wait.... Ning Chengs mind immediately shed with lightning, and then he eagerly asked, You said that you passed through the ry station that was not far from Dean Town, right? Also, when did you pass by the ry station? The middle aged man immediately replied in a dignified manner saying, Yes, I did pass through the ry station almost three hours ago, but to reach the Dean Towns ry station, it would take up almost a day. Ning Chengs heart sank, he did not expect them and An Yi to go all night, hovering between the two posts, while also trying to escape. This An Yi that he depended on was too naive, looking for a Rank 3 Spiritual Grass between the two posts, if this affair was told to others, they would just think of it as some sort ofedy. Seeing Ning Cheng silent, this middle aged man quickly says, Another coach wille right away, benefactor, please get in the carriage, I will get you out and take you to another remote location, bypassing the Dean Town along the way. Ning Cheng knew this was not the time to hesitate, as he quickly changed his clothes. An Yi, at this time, came to know that they were going the wrong way, and was a bit embarrassed, when Ning Cheng took off his clothes she helped him burn them by casting a fireball. When the middle aged man saw An Yi cast the fireball, his eyes showed an enormous respect. After Ning Cheng and An Yi boarded the carriage, the man and the carriage quickly departed, after about 10 minutes, the carriage turned around a corner to get onto the narrow mountain trail. After another half an hour, the sky was brightly lit, and the carriage had entered a more secluded mountain trail, with mountains on both sides, even the sun was blocked off by the mountains. The man driving the coach was very skilled, he was even driving the horse and getting faster and faster. This curving path, he should have gone through numerous times. Ning Cheng was secretly relieved, he knew that they were going the right way. In this ce which was surrounded by mountains on all sides, if the people were unfamiliar with roads leading in and out of this ce, then it would be very difficult for them to travel through here. Elder Brother, can I ask what is your name? This time I want to thank you. Although Ning Cheng knew that he was in danger, he still asked the middle aged man as he was very grateful to him. Chapter 0018 – Can’t Marry Chapter 0018 C Cant Marry My name is Li Shao, that day when my benefactor saved my little boy...... Li Shao spoke with fear, he did not know if he should fear telling Ning Cheng his identity, but he was also very grateful that Ning Cheng saved his son. Ning Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, Li Shao had taken his carriage along with them through increasingly remote roads, and no one had pursued them. Brother Li, let the horses rest. You brought us here while risking your life, there should no longer be any problem. Ning Cheng saw that the horses were tired and volunteered his help. Li Shao also knew that the two yellow horses that he was tirelessly driving were also in distress, so after listening to Ning Chengs words, he stopped the carriage. At the same time, he took out some dried rations and gave them to Ning Cheng and An Yi and said, Benefactor, you do not need to worry, I will send you in a single trip, you can bypass the Dean Town Ry Station. Then I can go directly to Haicheng City, there are also many adventurers from the Mingot Sea there, I can earn more silver coins there in a single trip than before. An Yi, who had never spoken till now said, Brother Li, I know some of the routes here, you can directly go to the Haicheng City, I can take Ning Cheng and walk out here by myself. Seeing that Li Shao was going to reply, Ning Cheng simply said, All right, Brother Li you helped us bypass the Dean Town. It is time that we separate, Brother Li Shao you can go to the Haicheng City. An Yi had no idea what was going on, but now that Ning Cheng had said this, of course she would have no objections with it. Ning Cheng rested for the entire day, since he was a cultivator of the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, plus he also had the help of An Yi who knew the art of healing, his injuries healed at a very fast rate. The three people, after the horses had a good rest, continued on their way. The next morning, Ning Cheng and An Yi separated from Li Shao. An Yi did not speak nonsense this time, she really knew the way. Although they walked all the way along the mountain paths, they never went astray. And after they walked for two days, Ning Cheng entered a lush green forest. After entering the forest, An Yi directly took Ning Chengs hand and said, Here there is an Array Formation, it would be better if you followed closely behind me, otherwise you will definitely get lost. Ning Cheng did note to this world one or two days ago, of course he was aware of Array Formations. It seemed that the ancient civilisations of China also had some resemnce, like the orientation andyout of the things, it was very mysterious. Anyways, he knew nothing in this case. Following An Yi and taking seven or eight turns, they were finally out of the forest, in front of Ning Cheng appeared hill that was not high. At the foot of the hill there were several acres of fields, with some of them having small vegetables and the likes growing. Halfway up the hill contained a nunnery of a dusty colour, with three words on the nunnery that Ning Cheng could distinguish, Blue Heart Temple. The Blue Heart Temple is the ce where you live? Ning Cheng asked. An Yi released Ning Chengs hands, and with a happy smile on her face she said, Yes, I grew up here, although I went out for a few days, I would always remember it, now I am finally back. I want you to meet my master, youe with me...... As An Yi spoke, she quickly elerated her pace as she rushed towards the Blue Heart Temple on the hillside. With Ning Cheng behind An Yi, he felt some worry in his heart. An Yi was a cultivator of the Qi Gathering 3rd Level. So An Yis masters cultivation would also not be too bad, but if An Yis master had an entric disposition, then what would he do? This was not Earth; he did not have any kind of reason to stay here. Come in. A slightly hoarse voice entered Ning Chengs ears, Ning Cheng knew that this was An Yis master, An Yis master knew that he wasing. Ning Cheng walked in through the mottled doors, immediately he was able to smell a faint smell of sandalwood. This made Ning Cheng think that an ident happened, An Yi said that her master was going to die, but there was not even the slightest breath of a person dying, there was only the scent of the sandalwood. The master that An Yi depended on was a middle aged woman who did not look her age, she was wearing a grey robe and sitting in the centre of the main temple. She did not seem to be old, but herplexion was very pale. Ning Cheng could feel that her body was emitting a death like chill, An Yi had said that her master was going to die, now looking at her, it was clearly true. What made Ning Cheng surprised was not how old she looked, or that she was going to die nor her cultivation which he could not see. But the fact that An Yis master was clearly not a nun, because she had long hair, even when she was surrounded by death Qi, her hair was still ck, but had a bit less gloss. An Yi has always been at her masters side, but the fact is I cannot teach her anything. Surely you can see that I am about to die, An Yi is pure hearted, but still do not know how to handle personal affairs. If you can, I hope that you can take An Yi with you, until she is able to live by her own. The grey robed woman looked at Ning Cheng and said in a calm voice. She did not ask about how Ning Cheng and An Yi met, nor did she ask about Ning Chengs origins, much less ask about his injuries, but said those words in a straightforward manner. An Yi was suddenly frightened, Master, I am not going to leave you. I am going to stay in the central temple. How can I go ahead with Ning Cheng? Ning Cheng was just passing through here. Ning Cheng also quickly replied, Senior, I am going to the Mingot Sea. I heard that it is very dangerous, and one can be killed off at any time, plus I got a few enemies of my own, An Yi would be a lot safer here than apanying me. These words, Ning Cheng said werent said without thinking, he was still worried about An Yi. An Yi was simple and pure, simr to a piece of nk paper, but now that he had arrived at the temple, Ning Cheng did not worry. There were lot of Defensive Array Formations here, an ordinary person simply couldnt enter. An Yis master sighed, pulling An Yis hands gently, said, I eventually have to go, you also need not consider me as your master, this ce seems to be safe but it is in fact, extremely dangerous. Once Im gone, if you stay alone at this ce, you undoubtedly will be unable to live. After that, she no longer tried to persuade An Yi, but rather, looked towards Ning Cheng and said, People will eventually die, you also have seemed to see it. Regardless of how you came to know An Yi, I believe you are not a treacherous person, so I want to ask you if you are perhaps engaged or married...... Ning Cheng, hearing these words, immediately thought, was An Yis master was thinking of letting him marry An Yi? How could he take a nun as his wife? Even if An Yi wasnt a nun, he couldnt take her to be his wife. After clearly understanding this, Ning Cheng said, I have a girlfriend, although recently some small conflict broke us up, I still want to get back to her. Ning Cheng, saying till here, his heart became gloomy. He knew that Tian Mu Wans decisive attitude at that time made him incapable of getting her back. Even if Tian Mu Wan changed her mind, could he see her again? Thinking that, Ning Cheng again added, I still have a fiance, she has only left temporarily...... Ning Cheng didnt say anymore after that, because he himself knew that he and Ji Luo Fei couldnt be back together again. As for whether he could reach the Hua Continent, even if he could, Ji Luo Fei and he were a thing of the past. He was really grateful to Ji Luo Fei but as to really liking her, he didnt feel the same way. What Ning Cheng didnt expect was, the middle aged woman wearing the grey gown on hearing what he said, contrary to what he expected, nodded and said, That makes me feel relieved, you need to remember, An Yi can be together with you but she absolutely cannot get married. Also you should absolutely not have any emotional disputes with another person, otherwise ....... She hadnt even finished speaking, when a faint line of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth. An Yi, quickly hugged the middle aged woman wearing the grey gown, wept and shouted, Master, whats going on with you? Ning Cheng never imagined that this grey robed woman asked him if he was married or was engaged, was to remind him not to have any ideas on ying with An Yi, he was mistaken. An Yi, ording to this person, could not marry, no wonder she was a little nun, though he did not know the reason why. But then he saw the grey robed womans expression be even more sluggish, Ning Cheng also dared not to say anything else. The grey robed woman waved her hand and beckoned An Yi toe closer, she took out the piece of pear yellow jade and hung it on An Yis neck, and also took out a brown coloured bag that was hanging on her waist, and said, An Yi, when I found you, this jade was on your side, it was presumably left by your parents. This bag is the Storage Bag that I have used for many years, remember never take it out for others to see it...... Also, you must remember that you cannot marry...... With that, she stared at Ning Cheng and said, You must take care of An Yi in the future, An Yis future is not ordinary, she will not treat you unjustly...... Ning Cheng cupped his fists and said, My life was saved by An Yi, senior please be assured that as long as this Ning Cheng draws breath, he would never let An Yi get hurt. An Yi, it is time for me to go away, you must live well, dont be sad. The past will always be the past, as long as you keep walking forward. The path for you is very long, take good care of yourself. After the grey robed woman finished speaking, she looked up at the sky outside the temple, sighing slightly, her eyes were filled with a little loneliness, as she slowly closed them. An Yi was a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, she immediately knew that her master had passed away as her life force dissipated, she suddenly began to cry. Even though she had known that this day would eventually arrive, she still wasnt able to ept this fact that her master had passed away, Ning Cheng knew that the grey robed woman had known that he would look after An Yi, otherwise she would have not said that. He came up and patted An Yis shoulder and said, An Yi, illness and death, it is only human. You dont need to be too sad, we will have to step into the future together, it rather just arrived sooner thanter. As Ning Cheng spoke, he also sighed, he knew that when he died, he didnt even get to say goodbye to his sister Ruo Lan. An Yis masters cultivation was clearly dozens of times stronger than him, even so, she could not escape the shackles of heaven. An Yi knew that Ning Chengs persuasive words had a valid reason, but she was still unable to contain her grief. Over the past decade, she had always followed her master and they had lived and depended on each other. Now that her master suddenly had passed away, she didnt know what to do. Ning Cheng looking at An Yi, knew that he was the only one who must deal with these things. With Ning Chengs persuasion, An Yi gradually eased up her sadness. Then, together with Ning Cheng, they buried her master in the field of orchids behind the Blue Heart Temple. After apanying An Yi in guarding the orchids behind the Temple for three days, Ning Cheng and An Yi left together, continuing their journey towards the Mingot Sea. After three days time, with the help of An Yi, the injuries sustained by Ning Cheng werepletely healed. The mood of An Yi also became more depressed, she was already introverted and shy with people. Now after what happened with her master, An Yi spoke even less. Although Ning Cheng was anxious to see what was in the bag An Yi received, but he was rather ashamed and embarrassed to speak about it. Chapter 0019 – Ji Luo Fei’s Sadness Chapter 0019 C Ji Luo Feis Sadness Ji Luo Fei opened her eyes in a daze, and she immediately saw a room that was not very big, there were a total of six people in the room, and she was lying on a wooden bed. Beside her, there were Zhuang Tianya, Jian Su Jie, Dan Xiang Ling, and two others she did not recognize. Where is this ce? Is Ning Cheng here? Ji Luo Fei reacted, she quickly sat up and asked anxiously. Dan Xiang Ling had always been someone who didnt talk much, and Jian Su Jie was not a stranger to Ji Luo Fei, the other two girls Ji Luo Fei was not able to recognize so she did not know what to say. Only Zhuang Tianya said, Right now we are on an airship Type Artefact, this airship has just now crossed over the Daan Forest. In a few days we should be arriving at the Yuan Continent. Yuan Continent? What about Ning Cheng? Ji Luo Fei suddenly jumped down from the wooden bed, looking at Zhuang Tianya for an answer, she asked, My aunt? Did she also bring Ning Cheng? Zhuang Tianya remained silent, Ji Luo Fei immediately knew what was had happened, she turned and tried to run out. Zhuang Tianya immediately became startled, as she hurriedly caught Ji Luo Feis hand in horror and said, Do you not want to live? Even if I do not, Im going to save Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng is alone in the Cang Qin Province, he does not have the physical ...... Ji Luo Fei anxiously said, You let me go. Zhuang Tianya did not let go of Ji Luo Fei, instead she just sighed and said, Luo Fei, if you rushed out to return to the Cang Qin Province, you would not be able to live, even your aunt would be heavily punished, and besides you absolutely wouldnt be able to return to the Cang Qin Province. Do you know how high the cultivation level of the senior operating this airship Type Artefact is? The senior is at the Profound Congealing Realm. Your aunt is just an instructor at the Academy, she can only bring you back to the Hua Continents Falling Star Academy, there are many things....... Ji Luo Fei calmed down a bit, and did not continue to pursue her desire to go out. Of course she knew that only when a person has sessfully cultivated to the 9th level of the Essence Building Realm would they be then qualified to step into the Profound Congealing Realm. For a person to advance to the Profound Congealing Realm is very rare, especially in the Lower ss Continents, the people that have stepped into the Profound Congealing Realm hold a very high status and position. The Essence Building Realm was just equivalent to casting the foundations to enter the Profound Congealing Realm. While in the cultivation of Qi, it can be said that the Essence Building Realm is the first real bottleneck that a cultivator would face. After sessfullypleting the nine level advancements of the Essence Building Realm and entering into the Profound Congealing Realm, the Qi would gather into a liquid form, forming a Dan Lake in ones abdomen region also known as the Dantian. With the cultivation of the pure Qi liquid, the Dan Lake would keep on expanding, while enhancing and strengthening ones body at the same time. Once a person forms a Dan Lake, their strength would be much stronger than a cultivator of the Essence Building Realm. The best example forparison of the strength between the two Realms would be, just as her aunt killed the two cultivators of the Qi Gathering 6th Level, a cultivator at the Profound Congealing Realm can also as easily kill her aunt, who was a cultivator of the Essence Building Realm, in the same manner. Seeing Ji Luo Feis hand trembling, Zhuang Tianya said, Besides, you would not be able to go out to rescue Ning Cheng, Whats more, even if you did manage to get out alone, do you think you would be able to return there? How was he? Ji Luo Fei asked in a trembling voice. Zhuang Tianya did not hide anything and said, While Ning Cheng was in the Academy, because Gu Fei had insulted you, he ended up shing with Gu Fei. The result was that he challenged Gu Fei...... Ji Luo Fei clenched her fists so hard that her hand had turned blue. In fact, Ning Cheng was most impressed by Ji Luo Fei not because he and she had lived under one roof for a number of years, but because she helped Ning Cheng by killing Xian Yuan Kui, in her memory, it was only after that incident that Ning Cheng was forced to run away. In was only for a short period of time, but Ning Cheng gave her the impression that there was a lot more to him that met her eyes. Dont be nervous......listen to me Luo Fei, you already know my qualifications, remember to take revenge for me, I do not want to think that when I die there would not be anyone who would take revenge for me. Luo Fei, you are not ugly ah...... It was like she could hear Ning Chengs voice in her ears, but where was Ning Cheng? To truly understand a person, sometimes many years would pass, even then one may not be able to understand them clearly. Sometimes even a moment, could feel like a lifetime. Ji Luo Fei could still feel Ning Chengs touch for the short period of time that she had been in contact with Ning Cheng in the few days of the past, she was able to fully understand Ning Cheng. What happened to Ning Cheng then? Although Ji Luo Fei knew that the odds of winning were against Ning Cheng, but she still gripped Zhuang Tianya and asked anxiously. Zhuang Tianya could feel Ji Luo Feis hand trembling, she sighed in her heart, in her view, Ning Cheng was far from being a match for Ji Luo Fei. She really didnt know why Ji Luo Fei still wanted to be closer to Ning Cheng. Zhuang Tianyafortingly patted Ji Luo Feis hand and said, Gu Fei challenged Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng proposed to Gu Fei topare their speeds. Ning Cheng, by proposing this wanted to escape, but the difference between his and Gu Feis cultivation levels was just too big, plus he also had Gu Yuming on his side. Ji Luo Fei was not aware that the hand that she had been clutching for so long had broken out in blood, she was very clear, although Ning Chengs ability to cope with things was much higher than Ji Luo Fei. But in the face of absolute power, what could Ning Cheng do? Ning Cheng, I will avenge you, I will not die till I avenge you ...... Ji Luo Fei embedded each and every word into the deepest parts of her heart, once she sessfully cultivated to a higher level in the future, she would definitelye back to kill Gu Yuming. And there was also the King of Cang Qin Province, and....... Ji Luo Fei looked coldly at Jian Su Jie who was next to her, she was very clear that even though she was not involved with Ning Cheng, but she was definitely involved in theplete extermination of the Ning n. In the future, she would definitely have the opportunity to kill Jian Su Jie and Qiu Ying Guan for Ning Cheng. Seeing Ji Luo Fei nce at her coldly, Jian Su Jie felt her body chill all over. But she quickly responded, she seemed to know what Ji Luo Fei was thinking at the moment, then she simrly looked at Ji Luo Fei and said indifferently, You want to retaliate against me, Jian Su Jie, to help take revenge of Ning Cheng. Your Jian n and Qiu n partnered up and framed Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng was not even at the Qi Gathering 1st Level at that time, how could he be rude to you? My eyes are not blind. Ning Cheng is gone, his matter I, Ji Luo Fei, would definitelyplete it for him. Ji Luo Fei said in a tone that waspletely devoid of even the slightest of emotions. Even Zhuang Tianya who was listening to her felt her heart go into shock, she had an unfounded feeling, that Ji Luo Fei changed into a person that she didnt know, before she did not have a frozen heart, but she was still the kind Ji Luo Fei. Jian Su Jie felt her heart quiver, but she still said, Originally the fact Ning Cheng molested me was definitely not true, it was onlyter that I came to know that he was framed, but it was definitely not me. Because of that, I am also a victim here, believe it or not, I did not want to continue to kill him, but also saved him once. Ji Luo Fei closed her eyes and slowly sat down, she no longer paid any attention to Jian Su Jie. ...... After a months time, Ning Cheng and An Yi had taken many detours. An Yi continued to be silent, but at least she was not doing nothing. At least she knew how to cook and also knew a lot about Spiritual Grasses, but she did not eat meat. Ning Cheng brought back many a game, but An Yi never ate them. Ning Cheng wanted to encourage An Yi to eat something, but she always ignored it, he also continuously studied the various books given to him by An Yi regarding Spiritual Grasses. At this point, he had made much progress than when he first came out of Cang Le City. He was able to at least identify half of the different Spiritual Grasses in it. An Yi remained silent, but depended on Ning Cheng a lot. Each time Ning Cheng went out to hunt food, she would be anxious, only after Ning Cheng came back would she quite down. Her masters death was a serious blow to her. On this day, Ning Cheng and An Yi had climbed over a mountain. The two people were able to smell the scent of sea, and it made Ning Cheng exited. Even if everything around him was strange, the sea now and in the past, was still exactly the same, at least on the surface it was same. Thinking about going off onto the vast and boundless sea, Ning Cheng felt his own heart be boundless. He was even eager to find the beach and then scream that he finally was able to see the sea. Just when Ning Cheng looked back and saw the still silent An Yi, his passionate impulse faded rapidly, he looked at An Yi and smilingly asked, An Yi, why did your master say that you cant get married? Ning Cheng was afraid that An Yi would continue in be depressed for a long time. An Yi did not understand this, but it did not mean that he also would not understand it. I dont know, master said that I cant get married, so I wont get married. Didnt you also tell me that you also couldnt marry? An Yi looked at Ning Cheng with her big eyes and said. Ning Cheng looking at her pure and matchless eyes, he felt that An Yi has lost some brightness in them, he felt a bit sorry for her in his mind. He then put those emotions aside and still smiled and said to An Yi, An Yi, from where I am, the priests can also get married and have a family. Big Brother Ning Cheng, do you want me to marry you? An Yi immediately asked, being together with Ning Cheng, she could never hide the questions in her heart. She had been living together with Ning Cheng for almost over a month, in this period of time the status of Ning Cheng in An Yis heart rose to the level of Big Brother. Ning Cheng scratched his head in distress, and said, No, I already have a girlfriend, I mean...... An Yi just smiled and said, Big Brother Ning, you dont have to worry about me, thank you for taking care of me. My master has already passed away, and because of this my heart was sad. Now I have gradually realized, you do not have to devote yourself tofort me. Ning Cheng stared at An Yi, who said this little nun was stupid, he just had to get impatient with her. An Yi always knew what he was thinking, but was reluctant to speak out. Seeing Ning Chengs awkward gaze, An Yi suddenly said, Big Brother Ning, I will always be grateful to you in my heart, after my master passed away, I really did not know what to do. With that, she took the initiative to speak first and said, Big Brother Ning, you said you had a girlfriend, and then your girlfriend broke up with you after a little fight, are you also going to look for her? Ning Cheng did not expect that An Yi would remember this sentence, he initially said those words to An Yis master so that she would keep An Yi safe with her, who knew An Yi who was in such a sad situation, would still be able to remember it. Sure enough, you never know what a woman was thinking, it didnt matter if the woman in question was a nun or not. No, and besides I cant find her now. said Ning Cheng as he shook his head. An Yi asked again, Big Brother Ning, if you are able to find her, would you not look for her? Ning Cheng remained silent, Tian Mu Wan left him without any exnation, and so did he. A woman showing a bit of temper was nothing, but Tian Mu Wan should not have given the pearl hair clip to Zha Zhi Yi. Not only did Zha Zhi Yi take it, he even threw it into the sewers, Tian Mu Wan also said that he could just buy her a new one. No matter what Tian Mu Wan was thinking, Ning Cheng would have found it difficult to go back and treat her the same way as before. At that time, he had bought two pearl hair clips, for the two people that were the closest to him, he regarded Tian Mu Wan as close to his heart as his younger sister Ruo Lan, the same as family. When Tian Mu Wan discarded the pearl hair clips through Zha Zhi Yis hands, it was equal to discarding his sincerity towards Mu Wan. Chapter 0020 – The Sinister Waters Of The Mingot Sea Chapter 0020 C The Sinister Waters Of The Mingot Sea Ning Cheng did not answer, because a sharp breaking sound interrupted his train of thought. A grey shadow, with a roaring sound, flew out not much farther in front of him, a momentter, there was another ck shadow that flew past in its pursuit. After a few breaths time, the two shadows disappeared without a trace. Ning Chengs heart was awestruck, seeing the two shadows, he was reminded of the Flying Type Artefact used by Ji Luo Feis aunt. He had heard that there were hundreds of countries, who let their countless forcese to the Mingot Sea for practicing cultivation and looking for resources of dubious origins. Now it seems that it really was so, the two shadows that just disappeared from their visions were definitely not people from the Cang Qin Province. To have a Flying Type Artefact, one must be an absolute powerhouse, like the cultivators of the Essence Building Realm. It looks like if one wanted to live in the Mingot Sea Area, it would not be an easy thing. The excited moment that Ning Cheng had just now instantly diminished a lot, he finally began to think of how to survive in this sort of ce. Even An Yi could see that the two people who just flew past, their cultivation levels,pared to Ning Cheng and she, it was simply too low. She was notpletely sure about Ning Chengs cultivation level, however it also seemed that it was not high either. An Yi, we have to be careful from here, there seems to be danger everywhere in the Mingot Sea Area. said Ning Cheng as he quickly pulled down An Yi from the high area, and came down to a small remote ce near the roadside. An Yi also forgot to ask Ning Cheng what he meant by that, she just made an um sound, and followed Ning Cheng closely behind. If she was the only person here, then she would not have known what to do in this kind of situation. That Storage Bag that you have, An Yi, never expose it. said Ning Cheng as he thought about An Yis Storage Bag. Once An Yis Storage Bag was exposed, not only would An Yi be killed off, even he would suffer the same fate. An Yi hurriedly put her hand on her waist and said, Big Brother, I will take it out and give it to you, it will not be safe with me ....... Ning Cheng stopped An Yi and said, An Yi, your master left this bag to you, you put it close to your skin, and also keep your things inside it, giving it to me would not be very good. Ning Cheng also would have liked to see the materials in the Storage Bag, but afterwards thought that since it was some sort of inheritance that An Yis master had left for An Yi, if he took it, it would be the same as trying to read other peoples personal thoughts. An Yi quickly said, Big Brother Ning, this is not a simple bag, but a Storage Bag. A Storage Bag and a simple bag arepletely different, although the Storage Bag looks small, the space inside a Storage Bag is very big. With just a thought, the Spatial Array inside the Storage Bag, will help you ce itemsrger than the bag itself inside it. Ning Cheng realised that a simple bag and a Storage Bag had a big difference, one could put a lot of things in the Storage Bag, Ning Cheng could feel an itch in his heart, he really wanted one of these bags. ...... After going through this matter, Ning Cheng took An Yi away from the road as far as possible. Big Brother Ning, there is a ry station here. An Yi knew that the words she spoke only made Ning Cheng more worried about her. Although her masters death left a huge scar on her heart, but she also took the initiative to ask Ning Cheng about somethings but she was careful as to not ask about Ning Chengs girlfriend. She also did not ask Ning Cheng about who was his girlfriend. Ning Cheng also saw the distant ry station, it did not look big, but it made Ning Cheng stop. Big Brother Ning, Li Shao said that, after the Ry Station at Dawn Town, we would be able to get out of the scope of the Cang Qin Province. Although it is a ry station, perhaps it is not of the Cang Qin Province. Seeing Ning Cheng stop, there was even some caution in him, so she took the initiative and said those words. Ning Cheng nodded, Let it be, we first go over and have a look. The ry station was not big, it was just a ry station, in addition there were only a dozen soldiers to guard it and it also doubled up as a small rest stop. In thergest space in front of the ry station, was the dock for keeping the beast carriages. Many of the beast carriage owners were shouting for customers. The board above the ry station, made Ning Chengpletely calm down, it said Huo Yuan Country, Fu Ye City Ry Station. Ning Cheng and An Yi had just arrived when they met up with a short woman with a rough face, Are you two friends going to the Mingot Sea? Take my beast carriage, just twenty gold coins per person. Ning Cheng was shocked, 20 gold coins for one person? Isnt this too high? Li Shao had previously said before that he would earn only a few dozen silver coins for a single trip, how could there be such a high price here? Isnt the price too high? Ning Cheng was not certain if this woman would not kill him, as he asked in a hesitating way. The rough faced woman froze for a moment, there was no answer from her, but a man came up next to her and said, My friend, this price is not high. Not to mention that it would take more than 10 days to reach the Mingot Sea Area, because of the dangerous waters of the Mingot Sea, such a price is fair regarding the risk. It is the carriage driver who has to drive the beast carriage, she has to keep both her brain and body alert all the times, if it was not necessary, its best not to bargain. The speaker was a man with some stubble on his face, he only seemed to have the cultivation of Qi Gathering 3rd Level. But he talked in a very rxed way, and did not let the people who he was talking to feel as if he would suddenly erupt. There was a wide gap between a cultivator at Qi Gathering 3rd Level and the 4th Level, a sort of bottleneck if you will,pared to a Qi Gathering 3rd Level cultivator, a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 4th Level was more than 10 times stronger. Ning Cheng quickly cupped his fists and said, Thank you my friend, me and my sister havee to the Mingot Sea Area for the first time to live, but we dont know about the condition of the market here. As my friend said, that 20 gold coins are really not that high. Speaking of his sister, Ning Cheng immediately thought of Ning Ruo Lan, it felt as if his heart was being crushed. An Yi had a white turban tied up on her head, clearly one could see that she was a nun. Ning Cheng said An Yi was his sister, this short man did not think that Ning Cheng was telling lies, he just nodded and said, My beast carriages Sister He has a very good reputation, I just happened to have to go the Mingot Sea, do you want to board the beast carriage with your sister, or just go by yourself. Ning Cheng said in an embarrassed way, I do not have a single gold coin, I would have liked to go to the Mingot Sea, but it seems it wouldnt be possible currently. On his body, there were only two things that were valuable, one was the sword wrapped up inside, it was taken from the corpse of Gu Fei. The other was the Qi Gathering Stone, which Ji Luo Fei had given him, but still havent used it. In addition to it he only had the two thin leather bound books of the Ning n. At this time, he had some regrets after killing Gu Fei, he did not search Gu Feis body carefully, maybe there were some other valuable things with him. The short man looked at Ning Cheng and said with a smile, Qi Gathering 3rd Level, a friend such poor as you are really not that many. The gold coins for the beast carriage, I can help you out with that, it can be considered as paying for friends. Ning Cheng after listening to the short man talk, he was immediately overjoyed and cupped his fists and said, Thank you my friend, after I go to the Mingot Sea, I will find a way to return the favour. If only Ning Cheng had not offended Gu Yuming, he really did not want to owe such a favour. Now for Ning Cheng, the farther he could get away from the Cang Qin Province the better. The Mingot Sea Area had all kinds of people and even if there were people from the Cang Qin Province, it would not count for anything, this ce was the most secure. Its just 40 gold coins, you dont need to return it. My name is Feng Fei Zhang, I usually travel between the Mingot Sea and the Fu Yi City Ry Station. Although the goods go back to the Huo Yan Country, there I can even earn more than double, but truthfully Id rather sell my things here, it would save a lot of time. This short man said whileughing. My name is Ning Cheng, this is my cousin An Yi. Ning temporarily changed sister to cousin. They dered before that they were brother and sister, if the surnames were different, how can they be brother and sister? Feng Fei Zhang did not mind that Ning Cheng had told something different before, and said with a great interest, Everywhere in the waters of Mingot is full of gold coins, as long as you have to ability and skill. Since I do not have the qualifications to enter into the Middle Stages of the Qi Gathering Realm, so I just want to earn enough gold coins, so that I can go back and establish a family. Brother Feng, isnt the Mingot Sea full of dangers and killings? asked Ning Cheng after listening to Feng Fei Zhang say that he has been to the Mingot Sea before, he wanted to find out from him, regarding the situation in the Mingot Sea area. After listening to Ning Chengs words, Feng Fei Zhangs facial expression bes solemn and said, Yes, Brother Ning. In the area of the Mingot Sea, our cultivation levels might be considered to be weakest, butpared to some of the lowest level of adventurers, we are slightly better off. I can only fish for something near the shore, but I do not dare to go too far. The most abundant and resourceful area in the Mingot Sea is far away from the shores, there you can find many people, but trying to acquire things from there, now that would be very difficult. After a pause, Feng Fei Zhang continued, If you want to go deep into the waters of the Mingot Sea then you need to form a team, in the recent years, I also formed a team with many of my friends. But the reality is, many of them could note back, I have watched many of my friends fail in front me but I just did not have the ability to help them. Maybe one of these days, I will also be like them, forever remaining behind in the Mingot Sea. An Yi had been living in a safe ce with her master, and did not have much idea of this. But Ning Cheng was worried, although he was also at Qi Gathering 3rd Level, but his fighting experience was not rich. Last time he was able to kill Gu Fei, precisely because he was at his level. Even then, he had suffered many serious injuries by Gu Feis hands before he was able to kill him. What Ning Cheng was the most worried about was, his aptitude was very bad, basically he couldnt advance in his level. If he could return back to the Cang Qin Province, then it would not only be very easy for him to raise his cultivation level from the Qi Gathering 1st Level to the Qi Gathering 3rd Level but also solidify and improve his cultivation, and then go to the Mingot Sea. Feng Fei Zhang saw Ning Cheng very worried, and took the initiative to speak, In fact, as long as you are cautious, you would not necessarily die in the Mingot Sea. I have been in the Mingot Sea area for almost 10 years, but I am still alive and good. At this time, since we have teamed up, I will also tell you how to survive in the Mingot Sea. Ning Cheng felt very grateful and cupped his fists and said, Brother Feng is very warm, this Ning Cheng would like to thank you. The Mingot Sea was such a dangerous ce, with teams of people, of course, it would mean an abundance in experience. The stronger the person the better, but he had no experience. Feng Fei Zhang took in Ning Cheng and An Yi, if he did not have any malicious intentions, then he really was a warm hearted person. Sister He, does the carriage have a seat, we must go to the Mingot Sea Area. Along with the voice, two more people walked towards them, one was a man and the other a woman. The mans appearance was good, but he had a red scar on his face, which made him look a bit disfigured. The woman looked somewhat odd, it was obvious that she was very sexy, but if you looked carefully, she actually looked like a solemn, quiet and a refined youngdy. Chapter 0021 – Golden Cicada Fruit Chapter 0021 C Golden Cicada Fruit Both these man and woman who came over, obviously also knew Sister He. There is, we will be leaving shortly. Sister He said extremely loudly. In a very short period of time, Sister He immediately gathered the five people. Ning Cheng and An Yi, along with the other people, followed Sister He to her beast carriage. This beast carriage actually was no better than the ordinary smallmercial vehicles back on his Earth. Pulling the carriage werent horses but rather a beast which Ning Cheng had seen previously. Ning Cheng had originally seen this kind of beast in the Cang Le City, only that beast he had seen was pure white in colour, this one however was of a mixed colour. Ning Cheng had listened to Jian Su Jie whistling for her horned beast once, she seemed to call it as Xiao Shi. This horned beast was to pull such a big carriage and furthermore, there were also many people in it, would it be able to pull it? In the beginning, Li Shaos carriage, which they were travelling in previously, only had two horses pulling it. Get in, we will immediately leave. Sister He spoke and then proceeded to upy the drivers seat. Ning Cheng and An Yi, along with the other people went inside the carriage, only to find that there was already a person sitting inside it. The person was an old man, with the same cultivation level of Qi Gathering 3rd Level. Even though the old man was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, Ning Cheng felt that this old mans cultivation level was many times fiercer than Feng Fei Zhangs. The elderly man saw Ning Cheng and the five other people getting on the carriage, he merely swept a nce towards them and then continued to keep his eyes closed. In just this brief moment when this old man opened and closed his eyes, Ning Cheng felt a wave of Killing Intent. Ning Cheng knew this Killing Intent was not directed towards him or other people in here, but it was because this old man had an incorporeal Killing Intent on his body. Clearly, this person was an extremely dangerous killer and had killed many in the past. An Yi sat right next to Ning Cheng, she had also felt that old mans Killing Intent. She chose to sit close to Ning Cheng and didnt dare to look at the elderly man. Sister He sat in the seat of the driver, took out a whip and immediately whipped it in front of her, the horned beast immediately let out a loud roar, and stomping its foot on the ground it immediately rushed out. Such arge carriage was easily pulled by it, unexpectedly there wasnt even ag of half a minute. Not only that, but the speed of the carriage also was not slow, the only thing a bit troubling was that the carriage was a bit bumpy. Ning Cheng and the others who were sitting in this bumpy carriage, could clearly see the scenery outside through the transparent window. The people who were sitting in the carriage had all experienced so many life and death situations, that even their eyes were filled with matchless cruelty. Ning Cheng and An Yi understood at a nce that most of the people here had experienced killings, since these two people were going to the Mingot Sea, besides Feng Fei Zhangs thoughts of helping them, the other three people were sneering in their hearts and minds that Ning Cheng and An Yi were just trying to court death by going there. This should be the virtuous husband and wife, Miao Xiu Ming and Tian Fei, right? I have heard so much about you, to sit with you in the same carriage is a great honour for this Feng. Feng Fei Zhang said with great enthusiasm and warmth, and took the initiative to greet the man and woman sitting opposite to him and even gave them a respectful fist salute while speaking. The man with the red scar on his face did not think that Feng Fei Zhang actually knew him, but he was not surprised. Although his cultivation was low, but coupled with his wife and working together for many years, they were not afraid of facing against even a strong Qi Gathering cultivator. Along the edges of the Mingot Sea, they had built up a bit of small fame and reputation for themselves. Yes, I am Miao Xiu Ming, and this here is my wife ...... the man with the red scar on his face had not finished speaking, when he noticed Ning Cheng staring at his wife. It was obvious that he was ufortable with others staring at his wife. Feng Fei Zhang also found Ning Cheng to be rather rude, and quickly coughed, this made Ning Chenge back to reality, with some awkwardness he cupped his fist, but did not exin anything. He knew that this kind of thing, there was no way he could provide a satisfactory exnation. When he heard that the woman sitting opposite to him was named Tian Fei, he had unconsciously thought of Tian Mu Wan, after some time of being lost in his memories, he ended up staring at Tian Fei, in fact in his eyes was not Tian Feis image but rather Tian Mu Wans. Seeing Ning Cheng did not continue to be impolite, Miao Xiu Ming also did not attack him. But he had a heart to teach Ning Cheng a lesson, he then specifically looked at An Yi who was sitting beside Ning Cheng. An Yi had a white turban wrapped around her head and was wearing a in blue robe, before he was basically inattentive. But when Miao Xiu Ming looked at An Yi closely, his heart suddenly started to beat faster. ording to him, An Yi was too pretty and delicate, just like a fairy in human form. She sat there quietly, just like a crystal clear white lotus. He had seen many beautiful women before, but he had not seen someone like An Yi, who was very pure looking, which made his heart beat go faster. This woman was too pure, he must get his hands on her, Miao Xiu Ming inwardly said to himself as he clenched his fists. I dont know if Brother Miao heard of the Golden Cicada Fruit? Feng Fei Zhang quickly changed the subject, and took the initiative to speak the first sentence. Hearing the words of Feng Fei Zhang, Miao Xiu Ming returned to reality and immediately said, Is Brother Feng talking about the Lansha Ind in the waters of the Mingot Sea where the Golden Cicada Fruit grows? Feng Fei Zhangughed and said, Brother Miao really has heard of it, truthfully if I could get a Golden Cicada Fruit, then I would not have to break my back scavenging in the Mingot Sea and couldfortably live out my entire life till I die. Miao Xiu Ming seemed to have forgotten about the insolent thing that Ning Cheng did, it seemed he did not mind, and said, The Lansha Ind is something that people could go in but cannot return. Recently, I heard that a team did go in, but none of them ever came out. Furthermore, Golden Cicada Fruits are something that we cannot touch. Even if one did manage to get a Golden Cicada Fruit, it would lead to him dying faster. Feng Fei Zhang did not know that Miao Xiu Ming had already set his eyes on An Yi, he just meant to divert his attention of Miao Xiu Ming from Ning Cheng, now that he heard Miao Xiu Ming speak, he immediately nodded and said, True, even if we were able to obtain the Golden Cicada Fruit, and not get killed in the process, there is no way that just the Golden Cicada Fruit would help one create a True Condensation Pill. Ning Cheng had recently studied about all kinds of Spiritual Grasses. including the names and uses of many different Spiritual Grasses, this Golden Cicada Fruit was a type of Spiritual Fruit that he had read about. It was ssified as a Rank 3 Spiritual Grass, and can be refined into a pill, by refining into a pill it could be useful to the cultivators in all the nine Qi Gathering Levels. What Feng Fei Zhang meant was that, even if an ordinary cultivator got his hands on the Golden Cicada Fruit, he would not be able to refine it into a pill. That was because where would he be able to find a Pill Master to make a pill for a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator? In fact, Ning Cheng also realized that Feng Fei Zhang had another hidden meaning, in fact not to mention that even if there was no way for one to refine the Golden Cicada Fruit into a True Condensation Pill, it can still be refined into a medicinal elixir, but with his cultivation level how would he be able to take it? They were only cultivators of the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, while at worst only the cultivators of at the Qi Gathering 9th Level could use the refined elixir. The old man who had his eyes closed and which were filled with Killing Intent, said, In fact the Lansha Ind is not so terrible, once you know about the Array Formations around it, you can easy and safelye and go from there. However, if you want to get the Golden Cicada Fruit, then the opportunities for that is very low. What? the old mans words immediately attracted Feng Fei Zhang, Miao Xiu Ming, Tian Fei and the other three people, they just couldnt believe what the old man has just said. An Yi kept her head down, she did not hear the conversation between the couple of people clearly. Although Ning Cheng had heard it clearly, but he was not interested in it. Regardless of what this man said was true or not, even if it was true, if he got the Golden Cicada Fruit it would not be useful to him. Moreover, he had also affirmed that the old mans words were not really dishonest. But he also believed that Feng Fei Zhang, Miao Xiu Ming and the other people also did not believe the old mans words, they were just surprised that the words of the old man were too far off the mark ording to them. You may think that my words are a lie, I can tell you clearly, there is not even half a word that I spoke was false. The Lansha Ind is not far away, but if you are going to search for the Golden Cicada Fruit then you need have a great luck and opportunity. The old man continued. Miao Xiu Ming could not help but ask, My friend, since the Lansha Ind can be easily entered, then why are so many cultivators who enter the Lansha Ind are unable toe out? Thats because they dont understand the Array Formations outside and inside it, the outside of the Lansha Ind is enveloped in sea fog, in fact, this fog is a Battle Array Formation. But only on the 15th day of each month can one hope to enter the ind. Also one must have a person who is proficient in Array Formations with them. I was able to enter the Lansha Ind many times, and was also able toe out, it is precisely because I am proficient in Array Formations. The old man said proudly, his voice had a trace of disdain in it. My friend, you say that you have been to the Lansha Ind a few times? The Lansha Ind in the Mingot Sea? Feng Fei Zhang could still not believe it and asked again, he felt that this old man did not seem to be lying. After hearing Feng Fei Zhang s words the old man despite having despised them, said with some decadence in his voice, Although I have been in and out of Lansha Ind many times, but it did not mean that I was able to obtain anything good. I have even seen a Golden Cicada Fruit, but I was never able to get it, urgh! You have seen the Golden Cicada Fruit? This sentence almost made Feng Fei Zhang, Miao Xiu Ming and the three others to jump out and ask. Chapter 0022 – Forced To Team Up Chapter 0022 C Forced To Team Up Of course, but unless you are really lucky, even if you went to the Lansha Ind and found the Golden Cicada Fruit, dont think you would be able to get it. Said the old man leaving no room for doubt. Why not? The woman called Tian Fei could not help but ask. The old man said in a deep voice, Thats because the Golden Cicada Fruit tree is surrounded by a Level 5 Killing Array Formation which would kill any cultivator who coveted the Golden Cicada Fruit Tree by beheading and they would just ultimately be nutrients for the Golden Cicada Fruit Tree. With that, the old man looked at Feng Fei Zhang and said, You do not have to doubt that I deceived you, the reason that I disclosed this news to you is because the map to enter the Lansha Ind would be auctioned at the end of the month at the Mingot City Auction House, moreover there are only a hundred copies. Even if I did not tell you this, there would be a lot of people who woulde to know about it by the end of the month. There were quite few people who had some doubts about this man before, but now many of them believed the words of this old man. If the map for the Lansha Ind was being auctioned at the Mingot City Auction House, then it meant that the words of the old man were really true. The Mingot City Auction House in the Mingot Sea Area had, both a powerful influence and a powerful force, if they said that there were only a 100 copies, then there really only were only a 100 copies, absolutely no one would dare to copy the map from the Auction house and try to sell it. Unless they were tired of living. Friend, can I ask how did you get to know about the map to enter the Lansha Ind, that too even before the auction? Feng Fie Zhang asked. The old man just nodded his head and said, Even if you did not ask about it, I would have told you. First, this map was not something that I created, it was made by another person, presumably he, just like me, had been to the Lansha Ind many times in the past. He also could not get the Golden Cicada Fruit, and chose to sell the map in the auction. The several people present did not speak, since the old man had said those words, it means that what he said certainly must be true, indeed it was just like that, after the old man finished speaking about that, he again continued, I myself am well versed in Array Formations of low levels, and this time I intentionally asked high level Array Formations Master, and found out that it would require at least one Level 5 Array Formations Master to break it. But in addition to this method, there is also another way, but it requires eight people, and they must attack the Array Formation regrly and simultaneously from eight different directions, this can also help us in breaking the Killing Array Formation. But this method of breaking the Array Formation, I do not know if it would end up destroying the Golden Cicada Fruit. Friend, are you indirectly inviting us to join up with you? Miao Xiu Ming immediately asked. The old man replied, Indeed it is like that, I am only at Qi Gathering 3rd Level, and thus I cannot dare to invite cultivators of the Qi Gathering Middle Stage. But if we are able to procure a Golden Cicada Fruit stub, as each stub would at least contain 36 of those fruits, so even if all eight people participate, each person can get as many as four or more fruits. Here, we already have a total of 6 people, we can find two more in the Mingot City, and then after gathering the eight people together, we can then go to the Lansha Ind. That said, let me first introduce myself, my name is Pu Jing Ye, everyone calls me Taoist Pu. Moreover, I am willing take an oath by the sea, that the words I spoke arepletely true. After listening to the words of Taoist Pu, Miao Xiu Ming cupped his fists and said, Tian Fei and I will also go, but before we go, can we ask Brother Pu to let us look at your map. Otherwise, I am afraid I would not agree to it. He also had some understandings about Array Formations, and had also visited the surrounding area of the Lansha Ind in the past, although there was no way that he could get in, but he was clear about it from the periphery, if he was not satisfied with the map of Taoist Pu, then even if he swore an oath by the sea, he would never agree. Feng Fei Zhang also hesitated for a moment, before sping his fist and said, Brother Pu count me in too, but before agreeing with your request, just as Brother Miao said, we need to look at the map that you spoke of. Taoist Pu justughed and said, That is for sure, before we leave, I will let you all have a look at the map. Even if you get your hands on the map from the auction, I figure that when you see my map, everybody here would also be satisfied with it. At this time all the people looked at Ning Cheng, they wanted to know his decision. From the behaviour before it was clear that An Yi obviously followed Ning Cheng, so they all thought that as long as they could convince him, it would be ok. Ning Cheng just smiled and said, Of course, I would also like to participate, it would be a disadvantage for me if I did not participate. Ning Cheng was justughing on the surface, but in his heart he was very depressed, he thought that only a fool would go to the Lansha Ind and participate as a team. Regardless of whether what Taoist Pu said was true or false, even if what he said was true, the Lansha Ind and the Golden Cicada Fruit affair, why did he not ask the help of a High Tier Array Formation Master in the past? Even if a High Tier Array Formation Master was reluctant to help him in the past, surely the Auction House would try to invite a High Level Array master to take a look at it to verify its authenticity. If you could get more than 30 pieces of the Golden Cicada Fruit, then the Auction House would definitely do it. This senior in front of them was probably a High Level Array Master himself, not just a simple Taoist that he ims to be. There may, of course, be the possibility that he really was just a simple Taoist. But Feng Fei Zhang and Miao Xiu Ming had survived around the Mingot Sea Area for several years, and thus were very shrewd in nature. They should be able to tell if this so called Taoist Pu was spouting nonsense or not. If they chose to believe in this Taoist Pu, then presumably the words spoken by him were most likely not nonsense. But to Ning Cheng, even if it waspletely true, he did not wish to participate. He was originally from Earth, and had long pursued a simple truth, that the sky would not fall out for no reason. What was an oath or a vow? On Earth, some people would make promises and vows just as easily as they would eat and drink, none of which would they fulfil. Besides, he and An Yi had just arrived, was what they were doing a good thing? Even if it was a good thing, he could have asked the cultivators in the Late Stage Qi Gathering Realm, why did he chose someone from the Qi Gathering 3rd Level? But no matter what, he had to agree, as Miao Xiu Ming and the so called Taoist Pus eyes were filled with a clear intent to kill. It was clear that if he refused, the two men would be the first to kill him. As for Feng Fei Zhang, they had met by only chance so he could not count on him. As Ning Cheng thought about what was happening, Ning Cheng could only me himself for not knowing how distinguished was a Level 5 Array Formations Master. To let a Level 5 Array Formations Master be invited to the Mingot Sea Area for the sake of a Golden Cicada Fruit, it was just absurd. But Ning Cheng did not know, that a Level 5 Array Formations Master was not someone who could be easily invited. Seeing Ning Cheng agree without hesitation, Feng Fei Zhang was stupefied for a moment. He thought that as Ning Cheng had just started out, even if he did not agree, he was prepared to exin the situation to him. He would tell Ning Cheng, that what the Taoist Pu said may not necessarily be a lie. But because the auction of the map to enter the Lansha Ind would take ce at the end of the month, they did not know if the map that the old man imed to have in his possession was reliable or not. In addition, there was one other thing, this Taoist Pu was even willing to take an oath of the sea. The cultivators living at the edge of the Mingot Sea, knew how terrible the oath of the sea was, as long as they were alive, they would have to fulfil it, otherwise the only thing that awaited them was death. Well, since you all believe me, then I will take out the Lansha Inds map for everyone to look at. Said Taoist Pu as he took out five of the Lansha Inds maps and handed them over to the five people present. Ning Cheng just took one and said, I and my cousin can just have a single one. He knew that he did not know anything about Array Formations, even if they were going, they could only follow behind the others. As for the map, he was nning on giving it to An Yi, as he could not understand it. No, it is better if you had one more, for security purposes, just in case you end up losing the first one, it would be better if you kept it as an alternate. said Taoist Pu as he handed back the map to Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng also thought about what he just said, and he silently took the second map, but did not give it to An Yi. He epted the two copies of the map, kept one in his bag and the other one in hand, and was preparing to look at it, if he could not understand it, he could just ask An Yi when it was convenient. Taoist Pu just smiled at Ning Cheng and said, You can also let your partner see it. If you do not understand anything, you can just ask me. Ning Cheng came to understand that it was not as simple as it looked on the outside, he had to be careful at all times. Originally, he already harboured some caution towards this Taoist Pu, but now when he said those words, Ning Cheng immediately increased his sense of vignce. This Taoist Pu not only gave two copies of the maps to them, but he also specifically asked to give one to An Yi. Why should he be concerned with this matter? Although Ning Cheng felt that something was wrong, he stillughed and said with a smile, Dont mind it, my cousin does not understand anything about Arrays Formations, plus she is also not in the mood to see it. When she is in a better mood, Ill give it to her. An Yi certainly did not refute Ning Chengs words about Arrays Formations, Ning Cheng already knew that An Yis knowledge about Array Formation was much better than him, but she still did not refute Ning Chengs im. Instantly a cold light shed in the corner of the old mans eyes, Ning Cheng was able to catch it, it let him further strengthen the feeling that something was definitely not right. The several people were looking at the map of the Array Formation around the Lansha Ind, Ning Cheng after observing for a moment, was not able to decipher anything, he simply took the map from his hands and ced it in the back of his bag. I havent asked what name does our friend goes by? Seeing Ning Cheng put the map away, Taoist Pu asked with a smile. Ning Cheng just lightly said, We are only going to cooperate to get to the Lansha Ind, there is no need to ask about that. Taoist Pu did not get angry, he just smiled and nodded, and no longer chose to speak. Sister He drove the carriage fast and steady, Ning Cheng even doubted if this carriage was fitted with rubber tires, withmercial vehicles in general, arent they known for their bumps? After a few days of travelling, since it was the time for rest, Sister He stopped the beast carriage and got everyone out for something to eat, in addition to the usual, except for Ning Cheng and An Yi, the others were either studying the map, or asking Taoist Pu about the various situations on Lansha Ind, or discussing how to enter the Ind. These sort of discussions, Ning Cheng did not attend, nor did he say more than a sentence when Ning Cheng was asked. Also because of this no one bothered Ning Cheng, they thought that when the timees as long as he could perform the task, it was good enough. As the beast carriage moved forward, the fishy smell of the sea only became heavier. In the past few days, Taoist Pu also did not find Ning Cheng to talk nonsense, instead he continued exining the map to Tian Fei, but he would often look in the direction Ning Cheng and An Yi, but he did not ever find the two people talk. When travelling in the beast carriage on the seventh day, Ning Cheng was just thinking about how not to participate in this team, when he heard a loud scream, then the carriage in which they were sitting shook violently, it seemed as if everything turned upside down. Ning Chengs reaction was lightning fast, almost when the carriage started to shake, he picked up An Yi who hadnt even reacted yet, punched open the roof and jumped out of the carriage. At the same time that Ning Cheng came out, Taoist Pu also managed to escape from the carriage, and instantly left the carriage hundred meters away. At the same time Feng Fei Zhang and the others also came flying out simrly. Ning Cheng was immediately able to see a dozen feet long gully in front of the beast carriage, the horned beast had been split in half, while the other half was missing. As Ning Cheng was thinking, a whistling sound came, Ning Cheng rushed out quickly with An Yi, he did not give any regard to the direction in which they were rushing. He had just rushed out when, at the same time, they heard a sound of explosioning from the back. There seemed to be two shadows in the sky, Ning Cheng basically did not think of anything else, and immediately with An Yi, crazily rushed to the side. Chapter 0023 – Frenzied Escape Chapter 0023 C Frenzied Escape From the glimpse of the two shadows fighting against each other, Ning Cheng could only think of escaping. Originally when he had arrived at the peripheral area of the Mingot Sea, he saw the same two shadows shing past them, the impression that those two shadows gave him was too deep. The herculean horned beast being cut in half, creating a huge gully of several feet on the hard road, plus the terrible explosion from behind. How could Ning Cheng not know, that it was a fight between two powerful masters? This kind of fight, if one chose to remain here, it would only result in their death, only by running far away would one be able to escape. The two masters fighting wouldnt care about him, a measly cultivator at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, so he could only flee, the faster and farther he could go the better. As to the direction in which he escaped, Ning Cheng knew that he would have to run away from the old man in the future. He was obviously thinking about how to escape from the business of the old man, now that had the chance, he obviously took the direction opposite to the one taken by the old man. And he was also certain that this Taoist Pu would not care to deliberately escape in his direction, he estimated that he himself would be eager to run a little faster. After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, An Yi who was still in Ning Chengs bosom whispered in Ning Chengs ear, Big Brother Ning, I can run by myself, will you release of me. Ning Cheng was hell bent on escaping, even now, he did not realize that he was embracing An Yi tightly in his bosom right now. Ning Cheng released An Yi, and at the same time he was rejoicing in his heart, the two masters that were fighting did note this way, if those two people hade their way, they most definitely would be dead. An Yi also followed Ning Cheng as they fled, and asked, Big Brother Ning, do you not want to form a team with Taoist Pu and the others? An Yi may not have understood what had happened, but she was not stupid, she was very clear that Ning Cheng was just putting up an act at that time. Ning Cheng then remembered that he had forgotten something in the beast carriage, and rushed back to retrieve the two route maps that were thrown on the ground, wrapped them in his bag and handed it to An Yi and said, An Yi, can you keep this bag in your Storage Bag? I can An Yi nodded, and did not think, she directly put Ning Chengs bag into the Storage Bag. And then she asked, Do we still have to escape now? We not only have to escape, but also have to speed up, we will change our direction a little, the farther we go the better. Ning Cheng spoke, while he shifted his direction slightly and continued to crazily run. Of course An Yi also followed Ning Cheng, wherever he went she would also follow immediately. An Yi and Ning Cheng were cultivators at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, so when these two people put all their strength into rushing to escape, then their speed was extremely fast. After running for almost the entire day, the sky was already darkening, when the sound of waters hitting the reef reached them, Ning Cheng stopped and said, We should be close to the beach, lets not continue to run, and first find a ce to hide. Ning Cheng had just finished speaking, when a shadow fell down from the air in front of them with a bang sound. This unexpected sound, made Ning Cheng scared, and he pulled back An Yi and withdrew several meters, he could only see the back of the shadow that fell from the sky. A wretched man was lyingpletely covered in blood on the beach, it was clear that this man was the shadow that fell from the air previously. His head was just half an inch away from a huge rock. He did not know if this person had a huge luck or if he had controlled his fall. The two of you, please do me a favour ......... This bloodstained man did not faint. On the contrary, he called out to Ning Cheng and An Yi in a weakened voice. Ning Cheng did not move, he saw An Yi taking a step forward, and immediately pulled her back. In this world he had seen many injured people, and he was also kind to them. But this man that hadnded on the beach, although he was seriously injured, but they could still not perceive his cultivation level. Ning Cheng could vaguely guess, that this person maybe even more powerful that the cultivators in the True Condensation Realm. But there was also one other reason why Ning Cheng was not willing toe forward to help, because he could sense that this person in front of them was the same person who had killed the horned beast while fighting in the air. A fight that disregarded the lives of the innocent, he definitely was a person who was extremely cruel and merciless. I was plotted secretly by the other person, the two of you please look at this fellow, in turn I will also help the two of you. This injured man still said earnestly. Ning Cheng whispered to An Yi, An Yi, you just follow me one step behind. An Yi did not question Ning Cheng, if Ning Cheng wants her to follow him, she would naturally tightly follow behind him. The man lying on the ground who was injured, seeing Ning Cheng and An Yie towards him, he took a deep breath and said, Thank you, my two friends, I am a person from the Mingot City, I will surely thank the two of ....... Ning Cheng quickly said, It is not necessary, just as you said, we are all fellow humans, helping a kindred soul is really nothing. Ning Cheng was not able to determine if the person in front of him was someone who disregarded human life, his heart was also wary, but he also knew that regardless of if he really was or not, this persons cultivation level was definitely millions of times stronger than him. Fortunately, the person in front of them was severely injured, to the point that he could not even get up. Ning Cheng was just less than two feet away from this man, when suddenly without warning Ning Cheng pulled An Yi and fell down to the side. Two feet was the most threatening distance for a Wind Edge Technique, in Ning Chengs view, even if the other person was injured, even if their cultivation level was higher, the amount of Qi that was avable to him was limited. He reasoned that in addition to the Wind Edge Technique and the Fireball Technique, there should not be any other spells that he could cast at the moment. Regardless of the Wind Edge Technique or the Fireball Technique, this two feet distance was the most threatening. No matter what the opposite party would do, he would first go into hiding. Otherwise, even if the opposite party was severely wounded, he possibly would not be able to evade it. Puff...... two blood coloured Wind Edges, shed beside Ning Cheng and An Yi before dying off. Although Ning Cheng was able to escape, but he was still too slow, a Wind Edge had bit into his waist, and blood instantly spilled out. Ning Cheng had taken the darkest path for insurance, if it wasnt for his smart-aleck side, then both the Wind Edges would have sliced apart Ning Cheng and also An Yi who was behind him. After the Wind Edges flew by, Ning Cheng almost at the same time was bombed by a me Edge. He felt that this me Edge was stronger than the Wind Edge. But this time, he did not choose to escape like previously, although this guys cultivation level was high, it was obvious that he was seriously injured. Ning Cheng was long since ready for this me Edge, as he was vignt all the time, with his vignce he was only hurt a bit by the Wind Edge, how could he not be prepared to deal with this Fire Edge? After Ning Cheng dodged the first Fire Edge, An Yi also reacted, as she immediately sent out two Wind Edges. The man who had fallen to the ground did not expect that a mere Qi Gathering 3rd Level cultivator was able to avoid him within two feet of his Wind Edge. This waspletely beyond his expectations, in his view, even if it was a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, at this distance, his sneak attack would not be avoidable. Under his shock, he had not yet made the next move, when Ning Chengs Fire Edge had already reached him. The Fire Edge urately chopped through his waist, this man originally waspletely covered in blood stains, and after this moment it was thoroughly dyed in his blood. This.... the man had only said a word, when the two Wind Edges from An Yi simultaneously arrived. Ning Cheng certainly would not repent for what he did, this time he already understood the rules of survival in this world, one cannot absolutely be soft hearted when dealing with the enemy. Moreover, you must take the opportunity immediately, he was almost done with the Fire Edge when in the meantime he also sent out several Wind Edges. This number of wind desbined with An Yis together, directly spilt the man into several pieces. When Ning Cheng killed Gu Fei for the first time, his hands were shaking, but because his life was threatened he ended up forgetting the fear of killing, and now when he had had killed this man who wanted to behead him, he only felt a slight difort. But An Yi turned pale, this was the first time that she saw a murder. Fortunately, she was just an aplice. Even if that was the case, she still did not understand that why this man had to die, she and Ning Cheng were justing to save him, why would he kill his benefactor? If not for Ning Cheng, she would have definitely been killed. Prior to this she had also saved Ning Cheng, but why was Ning Cheng so good to her? An Yi subconsciously nced at the pale face of Ning Cheng, she suddenly remembered that Ning Cheng was also struck by a Wind Edge, quickly took out some medicinal powder and sprinkled it on Ning Chengs wound. Ning Cheng was already at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, and had already contained the bleeding, now with An Yis powder, the wound did not bleed anymore. An Yi felt relieved, in this world, perhaps other than Ning Cheng there were not many people in this world like her master. Ning Cheng walked a few steps to the front of the man he had just killed, and lifted a Storage Bag from his waist with his hands. At the same time, he searched that mans body a few times, and pulled out a Jade Card. Ning Cheng simply did not look at the Jade Card and handed it to An Yi and said, An Yi, we have to cast a fireball on this guy and then hurry and get out of here. An Yi knew it was not the time to question Ning Cheng and the two people simultaneously casted the Fireball Techniques. They continued this till the mans body was burnt to a crisp charcoal, once the body turned to charcoal, Ning Cheng immediately threw it into the sea. Brother Ning, we just now ......... An Yi watched Ning Cheng in horror, she and her master lived in heart of the temple, and never before did they see such a thing. How long ago did shee out? She knew that this kind of thing would not be their first time. Ning Cheng said in a deep voice, Lets go quickly, we have to get as far as possible, the sooner the better. The two people changed their direction again, and started to run desperately. After running for the whole night, when dawn was about to break, the two people, Ning Cheng and An Yi, stopped. At this point there was a boundless reef forest in front of them, Ning Cheng found a cave below a huge rock. After the two people hid in the cave, only at this time they were able to catch their breath. From the reefs outside, the sounds of the waves crashing could be heard, and there was even a hint of light, this made Ning Chengs heart, that was wound tight, to slowly rx a bit. He never would have imagined, that one day he would have to run this hard for his life. Big Brother Ning, how were you able to dodge so fast? If it were me, I wouldnt even be able to escape the Wind Edges. An Yi was still scared, if not for Ning Cheng pulling her out of the harms way, she would definitely be dead by the Wind Edge sneak attack of the man on the beach. Ning Cheng just sighed and said, When I was going, I felt that there were some problems, I really did not seem to be wrong indeed. You wait for me a bit, I have some heavy injuries, I need to heal them first. Ning Cheng did not have any good treatment methods, after he was injuredst time, he was constantly using the modified Cultivation Method to get his injuries to recover faster, he was still using the same approach. But when Ning Cheng hadnt evenpleted a single cycle of circting his Qi, his face immediately changed. Chapter 0024 – Powerful Capabilities Chapter 0024 C Powerful Capabilities An Yi had been concerned about Ning Cheng, when she saw Ning Chengs expression change, she quickly asked, Whats the problem? I was just now circting my Qi, when it suddenly appeared like....... Ning Cheng did not finish his sentence, and then again said, Now I get it. Then he immediately proceeded to take off his clothes, An Yi who was originally staring at Ning Cheng, seeing him suddenly take of his clothes, immediately blushed and turned her head away. Her mind was pure, her being a young nun was not false, but it did not mean that she did not know about the distinction between the sexes. But she soon turned her head towards him once again, since she had not been together with Ning Cheng for one or two days, shepletely believed and hadplete faith in Ning Cheng. If Ning Cheng suddenly started to take off his clothes now, then he must have done it with some important reason. Indeed it is as I expected. Ning Cheng looked and touched the ck scar on his chest and said while gnashing his teeth. Is that a mark of a Talisman? Although An Yi had not seen such a thing, but her master had told her about it, she could immediately discern it with a nce, that the ck scar on his chest was definitely a mark of a Talisman. As long as one had this mark, even if they walked far away, the person who was marked by the symbol can be found with the help of the original Talisman. Ning Cheng had also read about the mark of a Talisman in the Ning ns Cultivation Manual, and when he had just tried toplete one cirction cycle of the Qi a moment ago, he suddenly felt ufortable. In his body there seemed to be a piece of something that should not exist in his body, this thing kept him from cultivating with ease. It really is a mark of a Talisman. After listening to An Yis words, Ning Cheng was sure that he was not wrong. This symbol on his chest was in the shape of the character Lu (). As long one can get their hands of this kind of Talisman, if one would even touch it, the mark would be mysteriously attached to their body, ordinary people simply would not be able to notice it. Ning Cheng immediately became infuriated, this Talismans mark directly rushed from the pit of the stomach to his chest, and formed a faint ck light in front of his chest. Just as the symbol rushed out, at the same time, Ning Cheng also casted a fireball on it, burning the mark of the Talisman without a trace. Although Ning Chengs level of Fireball was very low, but it was enough to be able to burn down the mark of the Talisman, this also showed that the level of the symbol was also low. Fortunately, I was just trying to concentrate on circting my Qi just a moment ago, otherwise if the old Taoist Pu ended up finding me, I would really not be able to escape. Although Ning Cheng saw that the symbol mark had been burned off, he still had a lingering fear. An Yi was astonished when she saw Ning Cheng do that and said, Brother Ning, my master said that, there was no way to run away from the mark of the Talisman. If it was a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 7th Level, then he could be able to find it from the response of his body. But an ordinary cultivator has no way to force out the mark of the Talisman, how did you do it? Ning Cheng immediately thought of the modified Cultivation Method and said with some uncertainty, My Cultivation Method is a bit special. Fortunately, it was lucky that you did not have a look at those copies of the map of Lansha Ind, if you had looked at them then we would have been finished. I am sure that this mark of the Talisman was ced on me through that map, this Taoist Pu is really sinister, he was definitely scheming for something. An Yi also nodded and said, Yes Big Brother Ning, if I had the symbol mark, I would certainly would not be able to find it. Maybe I would have to strip naked to let you carefully find it. When Ning Cheng heard An Yi speak, although An Yi was speaking about the wellbeing of both of them, it still felt a bit hrious. How could he let An Yi strip and help her slowly find the symbol? But Ning Cheng sensed that what An Yi said, it certainly wasnt funny, she would definitely have to undress to find the symbol, otherwise how would they be able to escape that Taoist Pu? Seeing Ning Cheng put on his cloths, the previous awkwardness in An Yi was long gone, and she took the initiative again and put the medicinal powder on Ning Chengs wound, After wearing the clothes, Ning Cheng felt helpless, if he could not raise his cultivation, then he did not know if his decision toe to the Mingot Sea was right or wrong? He had chosen toe to the Mingot Sea Area partly because his parents had gone missing here. When he had not been reborn, he would often dream about this, as he had been living in the Cang Qin Province for his entire life. Now that dream had finally be a reality, but Ning Cheng was still a bit suspicious, it was as if the body in which he was reborn into was not that of a stranger, but rather his past life. It was also because of this, that he in his life on Earth did not have any affection towards his parents. Ning Cheng knew that he had acquired the Storage Bag of the man from the beach, he desperately wanted to look at what was in the Storage Bag, and thus took out the Storage Bag, but still held back the idea, and instead he first took out the Jade Card he had picked up from him. The light in the reef cave was very weak, but the words on the Jade Card were very clear, it read, Blue me 4 Star Academys Third Elder, Xue Tai Chu. He did not know if the status of a Third Elder in an Academy was high or not, but Ning Cheng was very clear about the status of a 4 Star Academy. A 4 Star Academy was equivalent to a true country, Cang Qin Province was just a small vessel state, forced with nowhere to go, he ended up killing an elder of a 4 Star Academy, once this was out, would he still have a chance to survive? Ji Luo Feis Aunt was merely an errand teacher of the 5 Star Academy, but at Cang Qin Academy, she could go anywhere she wanted. This Xue Tai Chu was an Elder; their positions couldnt bepared in any way. An Yi also saw the sign on top of the character, she was somewhat worried and asked, Big Brother Ning, are we in trouble? Ning Cheng again looked at the Jade Card, that he had just acquired, stood up, shook his head and spoke, There is no trouble, as long as we dont meet anyone from Blue me 4 Star Academy. The most important thing right now is to improve ones own cultivation level, if therees a day where we can surpass the Essence Building Realm, then a 4 Star Academy would also be nothing to worry about. Ning Chengforted An Yi but his own heart, however, wasnt. He didnt know of the capability of a 4 Star Academy, previously, a Cultivator at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level was able to put a mark of a Talisman on his body without him noticing, this 4 Star Academys Elder and that cultivator were clearly not on the same level, there was difference of over ten million times. Could one find two of such of existences as easily? Ning Cheng didnt dare want to find out. Grabbing the Storage Bag, he looked over it for a long while, only then did he ask, An Yi, how do you open this Storage Bag? An Yi immediately exined, We at the Qi Gathering Realm dont possess a Spiritual Sense, but rather we have Spiritual Thought. We can use our Spiritual Thought tomunicate with the Storage Bag, if it doesnt open, we can slowly try lift the Restrictions put on it. However, ...... An Yi spoke till lifting the Restrictions, she immediately recalled that lifting Restrictions required one to have some knowledge about Restriction Techniques. Whether Ning Cheng understood them or not, she was not clear on it. Ning Cheng knew about Spiritual Thought, after An Yi finished speaking, he immediately used his Spiritual Thought tomunicate with the Storage Bag in his hand. But, Ning Cheng immediately became aware that this was useless. This Storage Bagpletelycked any reaction when he tried tomunicate with it through his Spiritual Thought. Afterwards, he could only try touching the strange seal, but these seals were all simr to iron locks which he could not open. An Yi saw that Ning Cheng didnt understand anything about Restrictions, so she simply took out a book and gave it to Ning Cheng while saying, Big brother Ning, this is a Basic Array Formation Methods book given to me by my master, you can take a look at it. If it was something else, Ning Cheng would certainly not wee it, since at present he didnt quite even understand spell techniques, and right now, as he could not open the Storage Bag so he couldnt know what was inside this Storage Bag. Therefore, seeing An Yi handing over the books on the Basic Array Formation Methods, Ning Cheng did not hesitate to receive it, after a moment of thought, he opened the book. ...... An Yi stared nkly at Ning Cheng, as Ning Cheng consecutively read the book for three hours, she could only see him unceasingly flipping over the pages of the book, he only stopped for a moment when he made some gestures with his hands, his facial expression also constantly changed as he continued to read. These were all Array Formations,ing into contact with Array Formations for the first time, when master was teaching her, she was only able to learn up to the third page. When she was able toprehend those three pages, her master said that she was a genius, butpared to her Big Brother Ning, just what was going on with him? An Yi really wanted to ask Ning Cheng, but she was afraid that she would annoy him. She could only silently wait for Ning Cheng to wake from reading that book on Foundation Array Methods, only after that, could she ask him. Ning Cheng could not know what An Yi was thinking. From the time he opened up the book, he could only see that there were various types of Array Formations, many technical terms rting to the Array Formations and also the descriptions of the positions of the various Array gs required, their refinement and exnations including their uses......... These all naturally formed and fixed themselves in his mind, even before his consciousness appeared to correct them, allowing him to not only understand these stuffs, but also helping him in automatically correcting these Fundamental Array Formations. At this point, in his mind, there emerged another Array Formation Method, this method was based on the original Array Formation Method. However, this newly formed method, was formed by modifying the original method and automatically correcting it to form an even moreprehensive Array Formation. The vast knowledge of the Array Formations and Ning Chengs automatically correcting consciousnessbined, made Ning Cheng appear as if he was a sponge soaking water. His formidableprehension ability and powerful memory yed a very big role at this time. ...... At a ce, several hundred kilometres away from Ning Cheng, four people were forced together in a difficult situation. These four people were exactly the ones who had travelled with Ning Cheng in the beast carriage, who were getting ready to team up to go to Lansha ind together. Those two people fighting in the air are absolutely in theter stages of the Essence Building Realm, what a terrible power. Feng Fei Zhang spoke with a lingering fear in his heart. Miao Xiu Ming and Tian Fei also nodded, very much approving Feng Fei Zhangs words. That battle in the gorge, they, together with few others had been able to see. If they had been even a little bit slow in escaping, the after-effects of that battle could have very well killed them. Hey, howe those two have still not returned? Could they not have been able to escape? said Miao Xiu Ming when he saw that Ning Cheng and An Yi hadnt arrived. Even if Ning Cheng hadnt been able to escape, however An Yi, with her dewy like appearance, if she was killed, then it would make him feel a great sense of shame. Taoist Pu slightly smiled and replied, Those young people ought to be very clever, I clearly saw him rush out first, their escape should not be a problem. I was able to see the direction in which they ran, but since they have still not arrived till now, I estimate that they probably werent able to find us, we will continue to walk in the direction in which they escape. Feng Fei Zhang also nodded in agreement, the Mingot Sea was not very far, once they were able to find Ning Cheng and An Yi, they can arrive at the Mingot City in a days time. When Taoist Pu spoke of locating Ning Cheng and An Yi, there was no objection from any of them, not because they were afraid of Ning Cheng. But because Ning Cheng and An Yi had a copy each of the Lansha Inds map, if it was not taken away from Ning Cheng, then for them, it would not be a good thing. Chapter 0025 – Information About The Mysterious Yellow Qi Chapter 0025 C Information About The Mysterious Yellow Qi Brother Pu, why did you stop walking? Seeing Taoist Pu stop walking, Feng Fei Zhang asked in a puzzled voice. Taoist Pus face changed slightly, but he still continued to walk forward for a kilometre and then stopped again, this time he did not wait for the rest for the people and took the initiative to speak, and said, Brother Feng, I guess Ning Cheng and his cousin An Yi could not escape that disaster, we might as well go the Mingot City and then find a few more people, what do you say? The reason why Taoist Pu said this was because he saw Ning Cheng drop the two copies of the route map. He had ced a mark of a Talisman on each of the copies of the route map that he had handed out before and thus he had the confidence that he could search for them easily. Even if he saw him take away the two route maps, but because his connection to the mark of the Talisman that he had ced on them waspletely cut off, he could no longer sense them, and thus he stopped. Whether Ning Cheng and An Yi was dead or if they managed to escape, at least for now, he had no way to find out. This Taoist Pu was very clever, since he did not leave to pick the route map that was in the possession of Ning Cheng, the remaining few people also had no suspicion towards his words. Now that this Taoist Pu said that it would be hard to find Ning Cheng, and in addition also proposed to go to the Mingot City to look for more partners, they obviously did not have any objections to it. Taoist Pu was the one who handed out the route map, if he himself doesnt mind to recover it, why would the others care about it? ...... When Ning Cheng opened his eyes, the book was almost one third finished, he immediately saw An Yi staring at him. An Yi, why are you looking at me like that? Although Ning Cheng asked this, he was still immersed in the joy of studying the basic Array Formations, he now felt that he had been exposed to such a new and vast field. He finally understood what Array Formations stood for, what the so called Restrictions were, and why and how Arrays Formation operated. I did not think you would be able to read hundreds of millions of words in one go, you see its already been three days and three nights since you started studying that book, are you not hungry? An Yi implored, when she saw that Ning Cheng had finally woken up. Before she had only heard her master say that one can get engrossed in trying toprehend all kinds of things to such an extent that one would even forget themselves, and today she, for the first time, saw that someone could read almost a hundred million words in one go,pletely forgetting about themselves. When Ning Cheng heard what An Yi said, he immediately felt an intense hunger hitting him, but then he immediately smelt a strange smelling from his body. By going into a three-day retreat while at the same time gaining enlightenment regarding the Array Formations, some of the impurities and odours were automatically squeezed out of his body. You wait for me for a while. Ning Cheng embarrassingly mumbled these words to An Yi, and quickly climbed out of the cave, then he proceeded to take off his clothes and cleaned them along with his body in the seawater and also using his Dust Removal Technique he had learned before, after his clothes were thoroughly cleaned and odour free, only then did he put them back on and entered the cave again. Seeing Ning Chenge back clean and tidy, An Yi finally let out a smile. Then she took out a few pieces of dried rations and gave them to Ning Cheng and said, Its better if you first eat something. Ning Cheng couldnt wait anymore and immediately swallowed the food down, and once again picked up the Storage Bag. Big Brother Ning, the Storage Bag should have some Restrictions ced, there is no way for you in three days to...... An Yi had not yet finished speaking, when she looked at Ning Cheng with shock in her eyes, and said, Big Brother Ning Cheng, you actually are able to open the Storage Bag? Ning Cheng justughed and said, It is not that difficult, not difficult at all. The Restriction ced on it was very simple, I just casually looked at the books you gave for a few days and was ready to go. An Yi sat there dumbfounded for quite a while, and then said, Big Brother Ning, for a cultivator, Array Formations Methods are the most difficult, it is even several times more difficult than cultivation, how can you say it that it is not difficult? The Restriction ced on the Storage Bag was very simple, so....... After Ning Cheng subconsciously said this sentence, he corrected himself and said, Well, I cant say that it was not difficult, at the beginning when I was examining it, I thought that half an hour to an hour would be enough to sessfully dispel it, but apparently it will take several days more, it seems deploying the Array Formation is a bit harder than lifting a simple Restriction. Listening to Ning Cheng admit that Array Formations were a bit hard, An Yi also agreed with a nod. Her thoughts were simple and pure, one would think that she was a bit stupidpared to many smart and clever people like Ning Cheng. So seeing Ning Chengughing through the exnation, even then she agreed to it. As for Ning Chengs way of speaking, she had already gotten used to it. On the usage of the Storage Bag, Ning Cheng had already familiarised himself with it. He raised his hands and brought out hundreds of white stones. These hundreds of white stones, seemed to contain an extremely rich Qi. Hey, these are pure Qi Gathering Stones. At that time, I only saw a dark yellow Qi Gathering Stone, but these stones are actually milky white, this really is a new thing. Ning Cheng held a white stone as he heaved a sigh and said. Ji Luo Fei in order to help him get a Qi Gathering Stone, went through a lot, and even almost got killed in obtaining it. Today, he was able to acquire more than 100 of these stones, and at the same time they were pure Qi Gathering Stones. An Yi said from the side, Big Brother Ning, the thing that youre holding in your hands is not a Qi Gathering Stone, but a Spirit Stone. The thing in your hand is a Low Grade Spirit Stone, my master said that Spirit Stones are a top grademodity. Spirit Stone? this was the first time that Ning Cheng heard the word Spirit Stone, but he felt that these two words were a more appropriate name for these pieces of stone. An Yi just humphed and said, A Low Grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for a hundred Qi Gathering Stones, but this is just the starting market price. Qi Gathering Stones are generally used for cultivation by low level Qi Gathering Cultivators, although they are rare, they can still be found easily. But a Spirit Stone is a bit different, the Spiritual Qi contained in it is extremely rich. This helps in raising ones cultivation level even more, initially my master had given me a Spirit Stone. This time you were able to get so many, you would now certainly be able to raise your cultivation level by several times. Ning Cheng suddenly realized, no wonder that this stone did not feel like a Qi Gathering Stone, he would now no longer have to gather many Qi Gathering Stones to quicken his cultivation speed. Originally a Qi Gathering Stone was a low level stuff, then, wouldnt he be able to get 10,000 gold coins for a single Spirit Stone? Then Ning Cheng realized that he was just thinking blindly, ording to An Yi, a Spirit Stone was very precious, how could one be such a fool as to want to exchange a Spirit Stone for gold coins. Not to mention 10,000 gold coins, perhaps even if one was to offer tens of thousands of gold coins, one wouldnt be willing to part with it. So to say, a high grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for a hundred Low Grade Spirit Stone? A high grade Spirit Stone....... Ning Cheng began to think the value of a High Grade Spirit Stone, suddenly he felt his heart yearn for it. Even if he could not cultivate with it, to hold a High Grade Spirit Stone was something that he wanted. An Yi just shook her head and said, Basically, a Medium Grade Spirit Stone can only be exchanged for 10 Low Grade Spirit Stone, and a high grade Spirit Stone can only be exchanged for a minimum of 10 Medium Grade Spirit Stone Ning Cheng also nodded and said, That is also very substantial. Then, once again, Ning Cheng took out several jade bottles, many books, some other material along with some Spiritual Grasses from the Storage Bag. In addition, there was also a Flying Sword Type Artefact. This let Ning Cheng a bit disappointed as he could not find any Flying Type Artefact. Although he knew that with his ability, he would not be able to handle a Flying Type Artefact, but this kind of Flying Type Artefact was something he was greatly interested in. An Yi did not know why Ning Chengs heart was not satisfied, and continued to exin to Ning Cheng that, The Storage Bag is already yours, but you need to refine it yourself and then ce your own Restrictions on it. The Restrictions that you can ce on the Storage Bag must be based on your own understanding about Restrictions, the higher you understand about Restrictions, the higher Restriction you can set on it. Ning Cheng nodded, leaving aside the jade bottles and the Spirit Stones, he put all the other stuff into the Storage Bag. He then took 20 of the Spirit Stones and giving them to An Yi said, An Yi, if we want to go adventure in the Mingot Sea, our cultivation level currently is too low. Now I am going to use the Spirit Stones to begin cultivating, you can also use these Spirit Stones for your cultivation. Once we have a person promoted to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, then we would not have to be afraid of that Taoist Pu. These bottles, see which of them can be of use to you, I would like to continue cultivating now, you must not disturb me in my cultivation. Ning Cheng was fully aware that his cultivation level was very poor, but now with the help of the Spirit Stones, he was anxious to know if he could advance to the Qi Gathering 4th Level. If the Spirit Stones could not help him get through, then he really would have no way of advancing. So he took the Spirit Stones, after giving 20 of them to An Yi, he immediately began to cultivate. He did not even get up to block the entrance of the cave, nor did he even arrange an Array Formation. An Yis experience whenpared to Ning Cheng was still low, Ning Cheng did not remember to arrange an Array Formation, but that did not mean she would not know about it. But she deeply agreed with the words of Ning Cheng, that indeed their cultivation levels were very low. So after getting the Spirit Stones, they began to cultivate. Thus, these two inexperienced people, in this unsuspecting ce started their closed door cultivation without closing the doors. ...... Ning Cheng was deeply immersed in the joy of absorbing the rich Qi from the Spirit Stones, how long ago did he feel such a sensation of letting him lose himself in cultivation. But this was not what surprised him the most, what surprised him the most was that the Cultivation Method that he was practicing was revised again in his mind. The Qi that had not appeared in his Meridians for a long time appeared again This continuous cirction of Qi in the Meridians, let Ning Cheng vaguely feel that his Qi was steadily increasing. After continuously circting the Qi for a day, his Meridians constantly developed and expanded. Although it just expanded a little bit, it gave Ning Cheng the feeling as if it opened up apletely new world for him. In his mind, because of the new and improved Cultivation Method, it made Ning Chengpletely abandon the Ning ns Cultivation Method, and get immersed in this new world. Ning Cheng did not know how long he had been sitting while cultivating, Ning Cheng could hear his body giving out a crisp and resounding sound Bang, strong Qi started circting in his Meridians, this allowed Ning Cheng to know that he sessfully advanced to the Qi Gathering 4th Level. Between the Qi Gathering 3rd Level and the 4th Level was a sort of barrier, making a lot of people unable to break through even with the help of Spiritual Grasses and other medicines, but unexpectedly he was able to break through. This made Ning Cheng filled with joy, at the same time he started to consolidate his cultivation level, while continuing to absorb the Qi as he continued to circte it throughout his body. Suddenly a faint yellow light appeared in his mind, which made Ning Cheng surprised, he felt a hint of familiarity with this yellow light. It seemed to be mellow, yet it seems to be filled with vicissitudes of life, but at the same time also gave afortable feeling which was difficult to describe. Prior to this when he felt his Qi, his Qi now felt somewhat different. As Ning Cheng focused all his attention on the yellow light before him in his mind, he felt his body shake, the next moment, he unexpectedly appeared in a world which was filled with a yellow mist. What is this ce? An Yi, An Yi....... just when Ning Cheng appeared in this ce, he immediately woke up and hurriedly shouted for An Yi. At this time, as if from an ancient time this information automatically entered and was directly imprinted in the mind of Ning Cheng, The Mysterious Yellow Qi buried in the heavens and earth, flooding the universe......... It seemed like a truth, but looks like a tool.................. It filled the cracks of day and night, and spread through the stars...................... It was said to be a divine truth.......... At this moment, whether Ning Cheng was able to understand it or not, a heavy amount of information flew into the brain of Ning Cheng, letting him have no leeway for refusal. Chapter 0026 – Formless Creation Chapter 0026 C Formless Creation Even if Ning Chengs mind was very tough, and even if his memory andprehension ability also were iparable to others, because so much information entered his mind, it made even him not able to adapt quickly enough to it. For a moment, Ning Cheng felt his brain was about to explode, the pain was simply intolerable. Fortunately, over time, he knew that he could gradually sort out the matter. The ce he was at, apparently was the inside of a bead, this bead was called the Mysterious Yellow Bead. The Mysterious Yellow Bead was an object which could split the heavens and the earth and its full name was Good Fortune Mysterious Yellow Bead. Furthermore, there were four other magical treasure Artefacts on the same level as the Good Fortune Mysterious Yellow Bead, they were the Good Fortune Green Lotus, Good Fortune Jade te, Good Fortune Gold Leaf and the Good Fortune Indestructible Axe. From the information he received, he came to know that the Mysterious Yellow Bead had seventeen owners till now, the one with the highest cultivation level who owned it before was called Qiang Xuang. The reason Qiang Xuang was able to have the highest cultivation level was because at the time when he had obtained the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he was still cultivating but still hadnt stabilized his foundation. The rest of the sixteen previous owners of the Mysterious Yellow Bead obtained the bead when they already had some small aplishments in their cultivation, therefore they were not able to make the Mysterious Yellow Bead recognize them as its genuine master and so they were not able to enjoy the Mysterious Yellow Beads blessing. They were only able to get the Mysterious Yellow Beads Qi assistance which was specific to only to the Mysterious Yellow Bead. The Mysterious Yellow Bead was a world in itself, it could produce the Mysterious Yellow Qi, by using which cultivators could not only improve their Spiritual Consciousness but also their Spiritual Root, it even automatically corrects the deviations of cultivators martial techniques. Moreover, the cultivating speed would be dozens or even hundreds of times more than the other cultivators. Not only that, spending long time in cultivating The Mysterious Yellow Qi could make one unequalled and without rival....... Ning Cheng was quivering with excitement, but now he was fully awake. He was already extremely intelligent; then how could he not know about what he had obtained? He had obtained the Mysterious Yellow Bead, and this Mysterious Yellow Bead was able to produce the Mysterious Yellow Qi in unlimited quantity, if one was able to ess it. What was the Mysterious Yellow Qi, he originally didnt know, but now his mind already had a plethora of informationing in like a herd of frightened cows, this let him clearly understand early on what the Mysterious Yellow Qi in the Mysterious Yellow Bead was. No wonder, thest time, in front of the Spiritual Root Testing Artefact, my Spiritual Root changed from a muddy yellow colour to a pale yellow colour, as it turns out, it actually because of the Mysterious Yellow Qi and was simply not my Spiritual Qi.... Ning Chengs heart was brimming to the full with astonishment and ecstasy, he knew that this bead was not an ordinary thing. Ning Cheng was even more iparably astonished from the information that he had received from within the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he almost could not believe that he had such a good luck. Besides the Mysterious Yellow Bead, there was an even more formidable thing, and that was precisely the Mysterious Yellow Origin. If a person who had already started his cultivation and has already established his foundation, then if he/she obtained the Mysterious Yellow Bead at that point of time, they would simply be unable to be aware of the Mysterious Yellow Origin. Only those who had never cultivated before, after obtaining the Mysterious Yellow Bead and making it recognize them as its master, could they be able to obtain the Mysterious Yellow Origin. Because Ning Cheng had never cultivated before and thus did not establish his foundation, he was able to obtain the approval of the Mysterious Yellow Origin of the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Although he still couldnt fully utilize the Mysterious Yellow Origin, that was still okay for him as he was the first person who was truly acknowledged by the Mysterious Yellow Bead as its master. Although before him, seventeen others had owned the Mysterious Yellow Bead, but when they had obtained the Mysterious Yellow Bead, even the one who started with the lowest cultivation level, Qiang Xuang, had already established his foundation. Because Qiang Xuang had already established his foundation and thus was already cultivating Qi, he was unable to obtain the Mysterious Yellow Beads Origin. He could only use the Mysterious Yellow Qi, but could not gain the true approval of the Mysterious Yellow Bead. It turns out, he was the first genuine master of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, but he didnt know if he would be thest. Ning Cheng mumbled to himself, he was not at all clear about the real importance of the Mysterious Yellow Origin. That Qian Xiang, who had cultivated before he obtained Mysterious Yellow Bead, he was not sure if his Cultivation Method and his Qi Gathering Cultivation Level was the same with him or not. Ning Cheng, at this moment, hadpletely forgotten that he was still within the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he was whole-heartedly thinking of ways to exploit this Mysterious Yellow Bead. If Ning Cheng hadnt obtained the information regarding the unrivalled rank of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he might have blindly believed that this Mysterious Yellow Bead was indeed unrivalled without any peers. But the information he had obtained made him feel somewhat disdained towards this unrivalled rank. Because the previous seventeen people who had obtained this Mysterious Yellow Bead were all beheaded. If it really was of an unrivalled rank, moreover even had Good Fortune in its name, how could those people have been killed easily? He believed the information about the bead being unrivalled was left by the first true owner of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, otherwise how could it, on one side be unrivalled and on other side, let its owner get beheaded easily. Ning Cheng did not know, that this information was only avable to him, because he was the first genuine master of the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Other people may have obtained the Mysterious Yellow Bead in the past, but the information regarding the unrivalled rank of the Mysterious Yellow Bead was not provided to them by the Mysterious Yellow Bead, rather only by absorbing the Mysterious Yellow Qi which gave birth to their confidence. Ning Cheng did not understand the meaning of the Beads Origin, but it didnt mean that he didntprehend that the Mysterious Yellow Bead could correct the Cultivation Methods with the help of the Mysterious Yellow Qi. The Ning ns Cultivation Method clearly couldnt satisfy his current needs, He wanted to find a type of Cultivation Method which suited him through the means of the Mysterious Yellow Qi. Or, he could go find a high level Cultivation Method and correct it with the help of the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Ning Cheng began to seek for information within his mind, he wanted to find a Cultivation Method which suited him. It was reasonable to say that since he was not the first owner of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, it was certain the predecessors would have left behind some information regarding Cultivation Methods. However, even after half a day, Ning Cheng still didnt find any information regarding Cultivation Methods, he was merely able to find a six-character Cultivation Method incantation, Mysterious Yellow Formless Creation. [TL Note C The incantation is actually 6 characters (), but when tranted to English it bes 4 words.] Ning Cheng did not understand what this Mysterious Yellow Formless Creation meant, even though hisprehension ability was one which went against the heavens, plus he was also bathed by the Mysterious Yellow Beads Origin and it was clear to understand. But in just a short period of time, Ning Cheng was only able to figure out what Mysterious Yellow Creation and Mysterious Yellow Formless were, but that alone was enough to shock him and had almost stood up. Mysterious Yellow Creation, this made it so that if hee in contact with any kind of martial techniques, Magic Techniques, and through the means of cultivating within the Mysterious Yellow Bead, it could correct them and could also make them even more formidable. Although, Ning Cheng was aware of this point but he didnt feel anything much. What genuinely shocked Ning Cheng was the Mysterious Yellow Formless, this was the Mysterious Yellow Beads genuine Cultivation Method. This Mysterious Yellow Formless was a special type of Cultivation Method, not only did it vary from person to person but also differed due to time and ce. This was a type of transforming Cultivation Method, one could use the Mysterious Yellow Beads technique correction, but yet one could not always obtain a transforming Cultivation Method. A Cultivation Method that could change at all times depending on the cultivators need, this was the genuine way of the heavens and earth, also called Mysterious Yellow Formless. Only by having the Mysterious Yellow Beads Origin, could one get the true Mysterious Yellow Formless. In other words, apart from Ning Cheng, all the previous owners only knew about Mysterious Yellow Creation. Ning Cheng could not help being shocked, and stood up. With Mysterious Yellow Formless, he would simply not need any other Cultivation Methods, this practically was a Cultivation Method of all the other Cultivation Methods. As long as he wanted to cultivate, the Mysterious Yellow Bead would automatically provide pointers and even modify the Cultivation Method to suit his needs. All he had to do was, on one hand, absorb the Spiritual Qi and on other hand, cultivate ording to the pointers provided by the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Before Ning Cheng hadnt cultivated, so his contact with the practice of cultivation was a short one whenpared to his peers, even though he had reached Qi Gathering 4th Level, it was without anyone guiding him. If one must say that someone guided him, then that guide was the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Granted, he was not at all clear on this Mysterious Yellow Bead, but from the information he received from within it, he knew that it went against the heavens and also knew how terrifying its ability was first hand. Mysterious Yellow Formless and Mysterious Yellow Creation, what could these methods aplish? If this Mysterious Yellow Bead was so difficult to deal with, what about the other Good Fortune Treasures, were they also as difficult to deal with as the Mysterious Yellow Bead? His only regret was, that he was unable to make use of the Mysterious Yellow Origin at the moment, likewise, he was unable to make use of Mysterious Yellow Formless. Although he was aware of the Mysterious Yellow Formless, his Cultivation Method still came through the other Cultivation Methods, that was because of the Mysterious Yellow Creation. Only after the day, when he could realize the Mysterious Yellow Origin, only then could he understand this Mysterious Yellow Formless. Currently only Mysterious Yellow Creation met his needs. But at this moment Ning Cheng felt a strong pressure, he became surprised and felt uneasy, he began to look and analyse his surroundings. Only then did he discover, that the ce where he was, was not big at all, merely several kilometres of circumference, and was surrounded by a yellow mist all around. How do I get out of this ce? Ning Cheng had only just thought of going out when, in the next moment, he was already standing inside the cave in which he was cultivating. It was the same as thest time when he woke up after researching the Array Formation Methods, An Yi was still watching him. Only it was a bit different thanst time, An Yis eyes this time had a shocked expression in them. Just whats going on? Ning Cheng and An Yi asked each other at the same time. Ning Cheng did not know what had happened after he entered the Mysterious Yellow Bead, An Yi seemed to have seen something, and he quickly asked again, An Yi, what did you see just now? Will you tell me. I saw you disappear, and then in your ce there was a pale yellow bead suspended in the air where you were and then you suddenly appeared again, whats all this about? An Yi asked as she was starting to panic. Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment, he chose to believe in An Yi and said in a very solemn tone, An Yi, I obtained a mysterious bead, it should be the one that you just saw. This bead is very precious, once peoplee to know about it, I would be killed immediately for it. So I think you should not tell anyone, not even your master......... Ning Cheng was going to say that even if you and your master shared a close rtionship, you must not say anything about it. But he immediately understood the rtionship between him and An Yi, and it was far away from the rtionship between An Yi and her master. Besides, An Yis master had died, even if An Yi wanted to share this information with her, she would not be able to. But An Yi just prudently nodded, I know it, you are my big brother, except my master, you are the only one dearest to me, I will not tell this to any other people. Ning Cheng was a little relieved, and then said, This time I do not know how long have I been training, but unexpectedly I did not feel hungry, I estimate that I will be very hungry very soon...... Hey An Yi, did you also advance to the Qi Gathering 4th Level? Only at this point, Ning Cheng was able to discover that An Yi had also advanced to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, just like him, this really was a good thing for both of them. An Yi finally showed a hint of a smile on her face and said, Yes, Big Brother Ning, I have only used 3 Spirit Stones and was able to advance to the Qi Gathering 4th Level. When I had just woken up, I immediately saw a yellow bead in front of me. Thats really good, since we have Spirit Stones for our cultivation, our cultivation speed is definitely much faster...... Ning Cheng was pleasantly surprised when he said this, the effect of using a Spirit Stones was very good, he had more than 100 hundred of those, so why would he be afraid of not being able to advance? But although you were also able to advance to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, but it seems the Spirit Stones effect on you is more...... An Yi said after she pointed to the Spirit Stone powder at the feet of Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng discovered that he had nearly used up a hundred of the Spirit Stones that he had obtained for advancing from the Qi Gathering 3rd Level to the Qi Gathering 4th level, he had actually spent that much for the advancement. Ning Cheng, in his heart was very shocked, it was toote to think about it carefully, and he hurriedly started to cultivate, he wanted to see if he could cultivate without using the Spirit Stones. This let him thoroughly down, without the Spirit Stones, although he could still feel the Mysterious Yellow Bead in his Dantian, but he was unable to cultivate. What should I do now? Ning Cheng was rmed, he knew that he was very lucky ining across the hundred pieces of Spirit Stones. But so many Spirit Stones were used up in advancing from the Qi Gathering 3rd level to the 4th level, how would he be able to continue practice from now? With the help of this Mysterious Yellow Qi, his cultivation was indeed very fast, but it required a terrible amount of Spirit Stones for that. An Yi suddenly said, Here, Big Brother Ning, I have a few more dozen pieces of Spirit Stones, but I think we should first leave from this ce. Before I saw the yellow bead, it seems that some of the light might have spilled outside, I fear that people mighte to know about it, and would......... Haha, .......really now, there really is something here. They were able to hear aughing from the outside, then a man with face full of scars appeared in front of Ning Cheng and An Yi at the entrance of the cave. Chapter 0027 – Mingot City Chapter 0027 C Mingot City The man that Ning Cheng saw, clearly had the face of a rogue, but that man was a cultivator of the Qi Gathering 5th Level, a level higher than he. This person had a cultivation level higher than the cultivation level of that Taoist Pu, if he had met this person before that Taoist Pu, Ning Cheng would have had some fear after seeing this man, but after seeing this person, Ning Chengs heart did not have much worry. After advancing to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, Ning Cheng felt that his own strength had increased several fold, this kind of strong and powerful Qi gave Ning Cheng a difficult to express confidence. What happened to that thing? The person standing at the entrance of the cave asked as he immediately frowned. Apparently he did not find what he was looking for. He did not wait for Ning Cheng to reply, and continued, I just saw a yellow light from here, it should be a sign of a treasure being born. At the time when I came, I also heard you say about a yellow bead, you, where did you put that yellow bead? Ning Cheng and An Yi were only two people, but he did not even pay any attention to them. Once he saw then, he knew that Ning Cheng and An Yi have never experienced killing, moreover a Qi Gathering 4th level and Qi Gathering 5th level, although they were both in the Middle Stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, but the difference in the degree of the amount of Qi between them was not a little bit. Ning Cheng did not even say half a sentence and raised his hands sending out 6 me Edges. When he was in the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, he could only send out 2 me Edges, but now that he was at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, he could instantly send out 6 me Edges. Not to mention the fact that he had the Mysterious Yellow Bead, it was something that cannot be leaked out. Since this rusty faced man overbearingly intruded into his territory, Ning Cheng certainly would not be lenient towards him. This rusty faced man did not seem to think that a Qi Gathering 4th Level person would dare take action against him, but because the speed of those me Edge was too fast, he immediately felt a great anger. The next moment a long knife with a green handle appeared in his hand, the long knife had a cruel green de, he wanted to use it to block Ning Chengs me Edge. In his view, Ning Cheng was just a Qi Gathering 4th Level cultivator, wanting to injure him with a me Edge was simply a dream. But the more he split apart the me Edges, the more his power declined. Bang, Bang.... three explosions continuously rang, out of the 6 me Edges sent out by Ning Cheng, three of them were directly split apart by the long green ded knife of the rusty faced man. After splitting them apart, these mes hit the walls of the reef cave, sending gravel flying randomly. Originally this rusty faced man thought that he could easily split apart those 6 me Edges sent out by Ning Cheng with his long knife, but he did not think that he could only block 3 of them and stop. After he blocked the 3 fire des, he immediately withdrew the long de, and the remaining three me Edges directly flew across his long de that was retreating, and arrived in front of his eyes in a sh. The rusty faced man did not expect that a Qi Gathering 4th Level cultivator, who looked like he had no prior experience inbat, could use the me Edge in such a way, but fortunately he had lived for many years in the Mingot Sea waters around him and had gone through a lot. Although this was critical moment, but he did not panic. He just twisted his body a little and the three fire des just slipped by him. When Ning Cheng saw this man slightly change his bodys posture, he immediately knew that hisbat experience was much lower than him. Just from the point of view of the power of his me Edge, he was able to ascertain that this mans ability to utilise the Qi at the Qi Gathering 5th Level was higher than many of his peers at the same level. This rusty faced man had a richbat experience, he discovered that even though the cultivation level of Ning Cheng was a level less than him he could only fight with him evenly, at this time, he wanted to immediately retreat and wanted topletely exit from the entrance of the cave. For him, fighting on the rocks outside the cave was much more favourable. Even now, he did not put Ning Cheng in his eyes. Seeing this man wanting to retreat, Ning Chengs heart was surprised, he was not afraid to have a death match with him, but he was afraid of him escaping. Once this man escaped, if he could not catch up him, it would not be a good thing for both of them. At this time, Ning Cheng no longer thought of anything else, he directly took out the Flying Sword from the Storage Bag, holding the Sword, he immediately shed out with it as he infused his Qi in it, the Sword Light split the air. Although he could not understand how to use a Flying Sword, but since he did not refine this Flying Sword, this Flying Sword could only be treated an ordinary weapon in his hands. A Flying Sword Artefact? This Qi Gathering 5th Level cultivator saw Ning Cheng pull out a Flying Sword, immediately called out in frightened voice. There were numerous cultivators trying to survive in the Mingot waters, but the ones who used an Artefact were very few. Even if there were a few, it would have been umted over the years or that person would have been from arge family or in other words the origin of these kinds of people were certainly not ordinary. Because the owner of the Flying Sword had fallen because of Ning Cheng, even if Ning Cheng had not refined it, under the influence of his Qi Gathering Realm, it still brought out a streak of light that over ten feet long. The rusty faced man was full of panic, he hurriedly used his long de to block. If he knew that Ning Cheng had a Flying Sword Artefact, he would not have tried to have a close quarters duel with Ning Cheng before, he would not have even rushed into the cave entrance. This time, his experience had deceived him, in his eyes Ning Cheng and An Yi were trying to hide in the reef cave, he thought they definitely did not know the immensity of the heavens and the earth, he did not think these poor people in his eyes would have taken that kind of risk. He never imagined that such a person, not only had a Flying Sword Type Artefact but it even seemed that it was a high level one. Ding Ding. sounds emerged, the long de in the rusty faced mans hand was as if it was a brittle jade, the Flying Sword directly split it into two. But this Flying Sword was not even impeded even in a bit by it, just as it split the long de in two, it also cleaved the rusty faced man in half as if he was a soft tofu. As for An Yi, she did not have any fighting experience, until she saw Ning Cheng kill the opposite party, only at that point did she woke up, at that point she had no way of helping him. Ning Cheng did not speak with An Yi, as he directly took the gold coins that the man had wrapped up on him and sent a few fireballs towards him, directly turning the man into ash. He then collected the ashes of the man and threw them outside the cave into the sea, and turned to An Yi and said, We need to quickly leave, this is not a ce that we can stay for long. As the few fireballs turned this man into ash, Ning Cheng could feel that even his techniques were upgraded as his cultivation level rose. If he was still in the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, then his fireballs absolutely would not be able to turn the man into ash. Yes. An Yi also knew that they must leave as soon as possible. After the two people left the reef cave, they rushed all the way to flee as far as possible, after more than an hour, Ning Cheng slowed down his pace and said, OK, now we are simr to the rest of the average persons in the Mingot Sea area, Ning Cheng was very much confident on himself, he affirmed that his cultivation level rivalled that of a Qi Gathering 6th level cultivator, the only thing that hecked wasbat experience. Of course, he alsocked the necessity of being a killer. At this point An Yi said, Big Brother Ning, your cultivation is much better than mine, even if you are at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, but the power of your techniques that you cast are even more powerful than the ones cast by some of the cultivators of the Qi Gathering 5th Level. Even if An Yi didck in experience, but it did not mean that she could not see with her eyes. Ning Cheng again took out the Flying Sword, looked at it and said, It is thanks to this Flying Sword Artefact that I used, otherwise even if I was not afraid of him, I may not necessarily be able to kill that man. Evidently equipping Artefacts is very important, ah. When An Yi heard Ning Cheng say equipping Artefacts she did not know if Ning Cheng knew what it meant, she pointed towards the Flying Sword in Ning Chengs hands and said, That Flying Sword should be a high grade Artefact, but now its yours. You should refine it; this can help in maximising its power. My master said, if you had a Spiritual Sense, then you would be able to remotely control the Flying Sword to attack the enemy, you can even step on the sword and use it to fly. Ning Cheng understood what Spiritual Sense was, it was simr to ones soul, or rather it was the prototype of the soul. As for what An Yi said about riding the sword to fly, it can only be done after entering the Essence Building Realm. Only after entering Essence Building Realm, would one be able to use and expand their Spiritual Sense to outside their body. Of course, with the cultivation of a formidable cultivator, one could even separate their Spiritual Sense from their body. But his Spiritual Sense was still extremely weak, it was unable to drive the Flying Swords flight, and also cannot be used with the Flying Sword to attack the enemy. Ning Cheng nodded, thinking about the words of An Yi, he deeply agreed to it, and said, An Yi, you are right, for now we should find a ce to refine this Flying Sword. My biggest task right now it to find a heap of Spirit Stones, let us continue to rise our cultivation level again. Perhaps in the future there will be one day, when I could go back. Big Brother Ning, are you trying to increase your cultivation level with the aim to go back to your hometown? when An Yi heard Ning Cheng, she was somewhat perplexed. Of course. Ning Cheng said without any hesitation, and asked An Yi, An Yi, what is the purpose of your cultivation? An Yi was silent for a bit, then shook her head and said, I have no purpose in cultivating, I only cultivated only because my master wanted me to cultivate. What about your master? Ning Cheng asked again. Master said that she was in pursuit of a higher realm, if master could advance to the higher realm, she would not have had to die while sitting. when An Yi spoke about her master, she again became gloomy. Ning Cheng was also silent, his aim was to go back and see his younger sister Ruo Lan, but he was very clear that this kind of goal may not be achievable in this lifetime. Indeed, because of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he needed lots of Spirit Stones in order to cultivate. If one day, he could not find Spirit Stones then it would be difficult for him to advance, he would also end up like An Yis master, ending up dying while sitting. Seeing Ning Cheng silent, An Yi suddenly spoke again, Big Brother Ning, my master said that even if there was just a slim chance, if one did not put efforts to work hard, then they would have no opportunity. Because I listened to masters words, I went outside to look for the Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia. Although I was not able to find it, at least I put in the efforts. Listening to the words of An Yi, Ning Cheng woke up from daze. Yes, when hepared himself with the other people, then he had more Qi than them, he even had the Mysterious Yellow Beads support. If you are not willing to work hard, then in the future how could you always have good fortune? Now that he woke up from his daze, he thought that An Yi did not know the difficulties in obtaining the Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia, not only did she go looking for them in the wrong ces, but with her ability she would not be able to go to the ces where they can be actually found. Thinking of all this, Ning Cheng once more regained his formidable confidence, An Yi, thank you, I must work hard. ...... The damp sea breeze and the sounds of the waves crashing drifted into the Mingot City, Mingot City was very lively and bustling. This is thergest town in the Mingot Sea Area, it was also thend which had thergest amount of cultivators gathered. But in this bustling town, the people had varied expressions, some had a cold one, some had an indifferent one, some kept a serious face as they hurriedly walked around. Although there were many adventurers and cultivators here, in order to achieve greater profitability, they took the things back to the cities in their maind, but there were also some people who did not wish to take the long journey back to their maind, and directly sold their wares that they obtained in the Mingot Sea Area in the Mingot City. As such all year round in the waters of the Mingot Sea, the people referred to this ce as the old Mingot. At the outside of this bustling city was a man and a woman, the man looked very young, his face was slightly thin, but it was like a knife. He had extremely bright eyes, but had a calm expression on his face, he gave the feeling as if he was an old general of the Mingot City. The ck hair was slightly messy, scattered a bit near his ears, and it seemed very casual. At his side was a woman who was half a head shorter than him and looked very pretty, as beautiful as a lotus flower in water, even though she did expose her long hair, but the white turban on her head waspletely dust free and made it seemed as if she was very refined. Chapter 0028 – The Place Where The Strong Eats The Weak Chapter 0028 C The ce Where The Strong Eats The Weak These people in front of the Mingot City were obviously Ning Cheng and An Yi, after Ning Cheng spent some time in refining the Flying Sword, he directly, along with An Yi, arrived at the Mingot City. Although he was able to advance in his cultivation with the help of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, but he was only able to do so by using a huge amount of Spirit Stones, and it seemed that this was just the beginning. Even if he had the Mysterious Yellow Bead, Ning Cheng was still worried about his cultivation. Big Brother Ning, it seems to be very busy and prosperous here. An Yi had always lived in the area around the Blue Heart Temple, and had rarely seen such a bustling city like the Mingot City. This was also the first time for Ning Cheng to visit such a busy city, although Cang Le City was also quite bustling, but it could not bepared to the Mingot City. Butparing the two, Ning Cheng was now preferring to be in the Cang Le City rather thating to the Mingot City. In the Cang Le City, the highest powers were the Cang Qin Royal Family and Cang Qin 2 Star Academy. Even though Cang Le City emphasized on thew of the jungle, but it emphasised more on cultivation, even if a person was of a low status, if he had a goodprehension ability regarding the cultivation, they would be able to be respected and also be unified and integrated with the city forces. But Mingot City was different, when Ning Cheng first arrived in the Mingot City, he felt that there was absolutely no unified force. He was able to feel that in the Mingot City there were many different forces, thew of the jungle, these were the words that could be strongly attached to this ce. The Auction Meeting, The Mingot City Auction meeting....... a thin girl who was holding dozens of brochures in her hand said while shouting as she waved those brochures in her hands, This auction will have many Artefacts, high quality medicines, and the most important of all, the map to go into the Lansha Ind Array Formation............... Ning Cheng did not intend to participate in the auction, beside he only had a few gold coins, and no other good stuff. In this kind of auction, even if he had more gold coins, it would not be of much use, much less thebined amount of the gold coins that they have. The two seniors should have just arrived at the Mingot City, and I have a hunch that you do not have a map of the Mingot City, nor do you have an introduction to any of the major forces in the Mingot City, the price is not expensive, I only want 50, no only 30 silver coins...... The girl who had seen Ning Cheng and An Yi arrive, immediately came over to sell her stuff. Her eyes were very sharp, with just a nce she was able to determine that Ning Cheng and An Yi were not the regrs of the Mingot City, nor were they from the Mingot Sea Area. Ning Cheng took out a gold coin and handed it to this girl, and said, OK, if you can help me get me a copy of the map of this ce, the remaining silver coins, you can keep them, and also give me a brochure of the auction. This little girl saw that Ning Cheng was very generous and hurried to grab the gold coin, while simultaneously taking out two books to give to Ning Cheng, her speed was very quick. Ning Cheng had some doubts about it, but she had already left. When Ning Chang saw that there were many people surging forward to sell the manuals, he understood a bit, it seems that there was a verypetitive atmosphere here to sell the manuals. Wait Wait, Ill first find a ce for us to stay. said Ning Cheng to An Yi as at the same time he pulled An Yi along with him onto the street. Although he was not a rich man back on Earth, but that did not mean he was always remained outside without a fixed residence. But aftering here, Ning Cheng had never found a safe ce to sleep. At present in the Mingot City, in any case, he was going to live here for a period of time, so he had to take care of this situation immediately. He, of course, knew that he would not be able to buy a house here to live in, but at least he knew how to find out which inn was better. Of course since An Yi was also depended on Ning Cheng, so she did not have anyment about it, Ning Cheng opened the map of the Mingot City and saw that the map was clearly marked with thebels of the several big powers. The First Mingot Meeting, this was the Mingot Citysrgest organisation. They controlled more than 50 percent of the Mingot Citys trading, and were like the ace within the cloud. The second was the Wolf Pce, third was the Houhai Vige ...... Ning Cheng looked in front of him as he sensed that there was someone standing in front of him and An Yi. Ning Cheng looked up and saw a pretty girl wearing a red dress, and was at the Qi Gathering 2nd Level. This woman in the red dress looked very pretty and beautiful, at her side stood two equally beautiful femalepanions. Looking at the attire of the twopanions, he came to the conclusion that they were the servants of the girl wearing the red dress. Did you just arrive in the Mingot City? This woman in red dress pointed at Ning Cheng and bluntly asked. Ning Cheng, in his heart felt a bit unhappy, he had just arrived here, what rtionship did he have with her? Facing the woman in red dress, Ning Cheng felt himself to be a little ufortable. Yes, me and my cousin had just arrived in the Mingot City. Ning Cheng replied calmly as he cupped his fists, he knew that he could not afford to provoke anyone in the Mingot City. Oh, so this is your cousin? The woman in the red dress swept her eyes over An Yi, as Ning Cheng saw it, the objective of the woman in red dress seemed to be An Yi. Not waiting for Ning Cheng to answer, the woman in the red dress said again, I really like your cousin, I am a person from the Houhai Vige. Let your cousine with me, I will not treat her unjustly. Ning Cheng immediately wrinkled his brows and said, Sorry, my cousin will not walk with anyone else, we can support ourselves. If you do not let your cousine with me, you will not be able to live. This woman in red dress did not think the Ning Cheng would dare to talk back, and immediately said in a cold tone. However, she immediately thought that Ning Cheng should have just arrived to the Mingot City, so he did not know how fearsome was the Houhai Vige. Ning Cheng held his anger back, he knew that in the Mingot Sea Area, Mingot City was not a good ce, but he did not think, that just when he arrived here, not only he found himself in trouble, but they even unexpectedly wanted to take away An Yi. Lu Yan, the two of them should have just arrived at the Mingot City, what you are doing is not good, right? Ning Cheng had not yet spoken, when a voice arrived from the side. On one side, he felt someonee and help him and An Yi out, this made her feel slightly relieved. Letting her leave Ning Cheng, she would definitely not agree to it. Moreover, when she saw the look in the eyes of the woman in the red dress, it definitely made her ufortable, it even made her feel a kind of fear. Ning Cheng also saw this persone over, this person was a young man dressed in a very fine dress. The rim of his eyes even had a hint of blue in it, and looked very thin and emaciated. But this persons cultivation level was higher than this red dressed woman called Lu Yan, it was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level. Behind him there was also a servant, but his cultivation level was at Qi Gathering 6th Level. The red dressed woman called Lu Yan immediately retorted, Miu Wen Hong, do you think that I dont know what you want to do? Thest time I allowed you once, but this time I will never let up. What happened to the girl you forcibly took awayst time? Im afraid that you have already wasted her. Miu Wen Hong coldly snorted and said, That girl is now in the Wolf Mansion and is well, what did you mean by saying I wasted her? You bring back the person that you wasted. You are a woman, but you also like to sleep with other women, arent you the one who is spoiled? Hearing the words of Miu Wen Hong, Lu Yan was overflowing with anger, the two people immediately began to argue. Ning Cheng came to understand something, that these two people were in no way a good thing for them. He pulled An Yi and said, An Yi, lets go, this is not a good ce. Since you have arrived just now, dont rush to leave. Seeing Ning Cheng just about to leave, Lu Yan and Miu Wen Hong immediately stopped quarrelling. Ning Cheng looked around, unexpectedly the people who came to watch the spectacle were not a few, not only they came to watch, they were also secretly eyeing them. It was clear that these two people fighting held much influence in the Mingot City. Ning Cheng felt a strong Killing Intent from the two, and said in a slow voice Me and you two are strangers, can a person only enter the Mingot City and not leave? Saying these words, Ning Cheng was already thinking about how to run out of the Mingot City. The servant who was at the Qi Gathering 6th Level would not be able to stop him, and in the meantime he also wanted to take make use of the good opportunity to kill Miu Wen Hong and Li Yan. Now that he had just entered the city, hepletely had the opportunity to rush out. With Miu Wen Hongs and Lu Yans natures, even if he did not kill them, they would not let them go, so he wanted to go ahead and kill them so as to save them the future trouble. Since he had already offended them, then it would be better to offend them to the end, there was no need to be timid in front of such people. You can return, thats true, but I will not let you go and would definitely not let you walk away. Tell this woman beside you to stay, then you may be able to leave. Miu Wen Hongs tone was still nasty, but with his tone it was revealed that, without a doubt, his status in this city was very high. Oh, what would you do if I allow those two to go away? eximed a voice. This time, there were four people approaching them, three man and a woman, the man in the front was wearing a light blue dress and was also a bit thin. Ning Cheng had already noticed, all these four people had a simr mark on the cloths of their chest, it was apparent that these four were from the same ce. Ning Cheng did not speak, here in the Mingot City, there was aplex mix of forces, he was not sure if those people who had just arrived had any intention of helping them. Chapter 0029 – Clear Heart Academy Chapter 0029 C Clear Heart Academy What made Ning Cheng shocked was that the lowest cultivation level of the four people was the Qi Gathering 6th Level and the highest one of the four blue robed youths was at Qi Gathering 8th Level. Although the four people in front of them had their ages simr to Ning Cheng and An Yi, but the cultivation levels of these four people, were far higher than Ning Cheng and An Yi. Who do you think you are? Daring to speak in such a way in the Mingot City...... When Miu Wen Hong heard this, anger immediately welled up in him. In Mingot City, there was unexpectedly still a person who dared to talk to Miu Wen Hong in such a manner, did he not know that he was the Young Master of the Wolf Pce? San Pi, kill him. Miu Wen Hong did not even finish his angry words, and instructed his servant behind him to kill the guy who had just spoken. In Mingot City, if Miu Wen Hong wanted to kill someone, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. Although Miu Wen Hongs anger was senseless, but that did not mean that the servant would also act senselessly, hearing Miu Wen Hongs nonsensical order, that servant of Miu Wen Hong immediately stepped forward and whispered in his ear, Master Wen Hong, these people are from the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy, look at the badges on their chests...... This servant called San Pi could clearly see that the lowest cultivation of the four people was not worse than him. Not to mention beat them, he did not even want to provoke their anger, as they were basically untouchables. Hearing the hint from the old servant, Miu Wen Hong reacted immediately, he had certainly heard about the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy. Just now when he saw the young people in the blue dresses, he felt dizzy, he did not choose his words correctly before. Although he was the Young Master of the Wolf Pce, it was only in the Mingot City, a small part of the Mingot Sea Area. The Wolf Pce would not count for anything, even if they were the ruler of this entire area, even then they would not be able topare with the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy. Clear Heart 3 Star Academy belonged to the Ming Yi Country, even if the Academy did not have any rtionship with the Country, the entire Mingot City, not to mention the Wolf Pce, would not be able topare itself with a 3 Star Academy. Ning Cheng, at this time, was able to clearly see the badges on the chests of the four people, they were engraved with the words Clear Heart Academy. At the bottom of the words there were three bright stars. Seeing the demeanour of the four, Ning Cheng in heart let out a dark sigh. These people from the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy were amazing. The students who came out from there were very tough, this was because they had the advantage of a powerful supporter, evidently he was thinking that if he could join this Academy, then they would have a big Academy on which they could rely on. However, when Ning Cheng thought about his Spiritual Roots, he immediately dispelled that idea. With his Spiritual Roots, even going to a 1 Star Academy would be difficult, not to mention the higher Star Academies. Moreover, Ning Cheng did not dare to go, since his Spiritual Roots were also improving as his cultivation rose, once his Spiritual Roots improved to a certain extent, how could people not be able to notice? So these four brothers were from the 3 Star Academy, this Wen Hong was impolite just now, please forgive me...... This Miao Wen Hong was able to quickly adapt to the situation, after he came to know that these 4 people were from a 3 Star Academy, he immediately greeted them with a smile. The youth in the blue robe who had just spoken, lifted his hand and pped his face, Miao Wen Hong did not think that he would be pped in the face. Or even if he thought, he would not be able to dodge the p to his face. Just at this moment, when his face was pped, more than a dozen teeth and blood flew out into the air. That p was really tyrannical, and the surrounding people who were secretly watching suddenly sucked in cold air. The Young Master of the Wolf Pce, Miu Wen Hong just flew out like a garbage. Lu Yan took only a moment to react, she immediately came forward with a smile and bowed in salute to this blue robed youth and immediately said, Houhai Viges Lu Yan greets Elder Brother, Elder Brother, are you from the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy? You really are amazing; you even get to cultivate in that Academy. Lu Yan is quite envious. While speaking, Lu Yans face was filled with worship and admiration, she even wished that she could get the opposite partys signature in her signature book. The way this blue robed man treated Lu Yan and Miu Wen Hong was clearly different, when he heard the words of Lu Yan, he immediately smiled as his face softened and said, The Clear Heart 3 Star Academy is not too far away, but it is also not near. If you wanted to pass by it, even if you took a beast carriage, it probably would be very difficult. Can this Lu Yan ask about Elder Brothers name? I would really love to hear it, as I also long to go to the 3 Star Academy. as Lu Yan spoke, on her face the colour of worship was getting more and more stronger. I am called Le Bohong, you wanting to enter the Clear Heart Academy is not impossible. A yearter, our Clear Heart 3 Star Academy will start enrolling students, you can still give it a try. The blue robed youth expression was getting more and more gentle; it was as if what happened a moment ago did not happen at all. Lu Yan was pleasantly surprised and immediately said, Big Brother Le, this really is great. I must let my father take me and go over to have a look. Right Big Brother, you and other two brothers and sister have just arrived in Mingot City, you certainly must be tired. If you dont mind, I can take you to the Houhai Vige to rest, I can also stay behind with you to learn a thing or two from you. Le Bohong waved his hands and said, The road to the sea does not go from the Houhai Viges territory, so we have no interest to go there. There was an intense disappointment on the face of Lu Yan, she seemed to think of Ning Cheng and An Yi, she hurriedly walked to An Yi and said with a smiling face, This sister, can you help me persuade Big Brother for me, then you can alsoe together to my Houhai Vige. Lu Yan did not really want to ask An Yi, Le Bohong had not seen An Yi, now that Lu Yan talked to her, Le Bohong immediately noticed An Yi, this guys eyes suddenly shined, this girl really was too beautiful and slender. Ning Cheng in his heart sneered, how could he not understand Lu Yans trick. Le Bohong had treated Miu Wen Hong and Lu Yan with twopletely different attitudes, it showed that Le Bohong only had good treatment for a woman who had some sexual attractiveness to him. She wanted An Yi toe together with Le Bohong to the Houhai Vige and wanted to find any excuse to bring them both to the Houhai Viges territory. This was of course based on the condition if Le Bohong likes An Yi, if Le Bohong does not like An Yi, then he could only be a blind man. Ning Cheng did not wait for Le Bohong to speak, and said to Lu Yan, Go away, slut. Le Bohong was forced to take back the words that he was about to speak that he did not want to go to the Houhai Viges territory, and was somewhat looking at Ning Cheng in a puzzled way. He did not understand why Ning Cheng would fire off such words? Ning Cheng ignored the ugly look on Lu Yans face, and turned to Le Bohong and cupped his fists and said, Thank you friends for extending your helping hand. Le Bohong had recovered, before he saw that there seems to be some dispute between Lu Yan and Ning Cheng, but he did not think that Ning Cheng would call Lu Yan a slut. Now that Ning Cheng was thanking him with gratitude, he also cupped his fists and said, This was just a small matter, it is not worth mentioning, I havent had the chance to ask my friends name, shall we go out to drink together. I am called Ning Cheng, me and my cousin had just entered in Mingot City when these two mad dogs started biting at us, and now we dont want to stay here. With brothers help today, is something that would not be forgotten. Ning Cheng did not want to go with these people, so he hurriedly refused and said while sping his fist. He had already offended Miu Wen Hong and Lu Yan, he was not a fool, why would he continue to stay here? Besides, these few people from the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy had quite a good cultivation level, even the lowest one had a cultivation level of the Qi Gathering 6th Level, he basically had no chance against them. Hearing Ning Cheng was not willing to go together with them, Le Bohongs eyes shed with disappointment, he inadvertently nced at An Yi, then he smiled and said to Ning Cheng, Brother Ning, the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy will host the recruitment of student within the entire Ping Continent. Brother Ning, if you and your cousin are able to enter the Clear Heart Academy, it would be certain that you would be able to scale new heights. Ning Cheng certainly wanted to participate in the enrolment but his Spiritual Root was very bad. However, if there was a chance to go to the Clear Heart Academy with An Yi then it would be good. Fortunately, this thing was still early, as he would have to seek the opinion of An Yi about what she thought about all this, he once again said, Thank you Brother Le, in theing year if I have the chance, I would definitelye to the Clear Heart Academy. But first for today, we must take our leave. Good, next year I will patiently wait for Brother Ning to clear the entrance of the Clear Heart Academy. Le Bohong said with enthusiasm, it was regretful that An Yi never said a word, and also didnt see him even once. Miao Wen Hongs face was full of blood, and was barely able to stand up with the help of his servant, he did not even dare to speak even half a word, and could only watch as Bohong and the others left. As for Ning Cheng and An Yi, he dared note forward to speak anymore nonsense. Lu Yan also stared at Ning Cheng with her eyes filled with the intent to kill, she pledged that she would no doubt kill Ning Cheng herself. Ning Cheng and Le Bohong said goodbye to each other, but before departing, he took An Yi and Ning Cheng and helped them to buy several sets of clothes from the Mingot City, and also purchase several maps of the surrounding areas in the Mingot Sea Area, then they hurriedly left the Mingot City. After experiencing these things, it made Ning Cheng clear on the fact that, at least in Mingot City, there was not a ce where he could live, at least for the present. ...... Big Brother Ning, Lu Yan was so sincere, but why did I feel ufortable? She wanted to invite me, but why did she threaten big brother? An Yi did not understand much of the ways of the world, this kind ofplicated rtionship, she waspletely confused by it. Ning Cheng said with a sneer, That woman was a broken piece of ss, that kind of woman is not even worth mentioning, even if she was an arrogant piece of thrash. What is a broken piece of ss? An Yi did not understand. Ning Cheng just waved his hands and said, These things, you do not need to understand at present, even that Bohong guy is not as simple as he looks, if we stayed in the Mingot City it would not be good for us, its better to go somewhere else. With the identity of Bohong, he could havepletely killed Miu Wen Hong, but he went so far as to bear it, and just went ahead and pped him in the face. It was obvious that this person was not simple on the surface, he was aware that even though he could kill Miu Wen Hong, he would end up with some troubles. Ning Cheng and An Yi travelled continuously for about half a day, and had already left the Mingot City behind in a distance. Ning Cheng in his heart was continuously thinking about what those people came to the Mingot City for, some important people would sometimee, but only for the experience. In Ning Chengs view, if it was not for an important matter, Le Bohong would have definitely killed Miu Wen Hong. Are the two friends going out to the sea? a hearty voice that came from far away which stopped Ning Cheng and An Yi by calling out to them. Chapter 0030 – Pursued Till Death Chapter 0030 C Pursued Till Death Letting your grandfather suffer such a loss, and you still want to walk away? Miu Wen Hong was shouting at the top of his voice, obviously his hatred for Ning Cheng had be bone deep. After seeing Ning Cheng and An Yi, the person who had called out to them wanting them toe aboard his boat for business, on seeing Miu Wen Hong rush towards them on a one horned stone beast and yelling out loudly, his facial expression suddenly turned pale. Moreover, on seeing that, he did not ask Ning Cheng a second time, he immediately turned away, and in only a short time, he ran to the wharf boat at the seaside, and the next moment the boat immediately pulled up the anchors and set sail into the vast sea waters. Ning Cheng did not care about the boatman, but he was surprised that Miu Wen Hong even dared to chase them. Miu Wen Hong did not only chase them alone, but had also brought along just the servant who was at the Qi Gathering 6th Level, he did not bring any other person with him. Only a mere two people, and they wanted to kill him and take away An Yi with this? He could already kill a cultivator of the Qi Gathering 5th Level with ease, and was not afraid in facing a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 6th Level. Ning Cheng, of course, was aware that if his Meridians did not have the Mysterious Yellow Qi flowing through them, generally for a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 6th Level, killing two cultivators at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, would not really be aborious task. Not to mention in the eyes of Miu Wen Hong and his servant, Ning Cheng and An Yi were just likembs to be ughtered, as they thought that they did not even have a shred ofbat experience. San Pi, waste this bastard first, I will slowly let this kid know...... Miu Wen Hong had yet to arrive, as he said through gnashing teeth while he was stared at Ning Cheng with a cutting re. It was obvious that in his view, the reason he had lost face in the Mingot City, was all because of Ning Cheng. This San Pi seemed to be a loyal servant of his, he seemed to know the meaning of the words spoken by his young master, although they had yet to arrive in front of Ning Cheng, they were flying towards them on their horned beast, while he simultaneously swept a white Sword Light towards Ning Cheng. This white Sword Light was aimed at the two feet of Ning Cheng, evidently he did not want to kill Ning Cheng in the first strike. This was an Artefact, Ning Cheng was able to feel the Sword Light and at the same time came to understand. Before when he and the rusty faced man at the Qi Gathering 5th Level shed, he had used amon dual ded weapon, although it was not low level one, but weapons and Artefacts were just not the same concept. San Pi was just a family servant, but already had an Artefact on his body, thus it was evident that Miu Wen Hong would have more good stuff on him. Ning Cheng did not think, as this white Sword Light wasing towards him, he used his Flying Sword that had fallen into his hands, to split it into two like in the past. San Pi did not think that Ning Cheng would still dare to make a move, using a mere sword to dare to stop his sword Type Artefact, it was just simply seeking his death. However, this idea of San Pi was instantly shattered as an ear piercing sound of an impact arrived, he did not imagine that the sword in the hands in Ning Cheng, would slice through it like a tofu,pletely shattering his Sword Light. As the powerful energy shock wave reached him, San Pi felt as if his chest had been hit with huge blow from a hammer. Not good, this kid was definitely concealing his cultivation, he must be at Qi Gathering 6th Level. Moreover, his foundation was definitely deep, it was not even half a bit inferior to his own. San Pi, when he received the powerful shock wave, was forced to take a few steps back, but he also understood that not only Ning Cheng was not at Qi Gathering 4th Level, but the Artefact in his hands was even of a higher level than the one that he was using. San Pi and Ning Cheng had just exchanged one blow, but in that instant he could clearly feel that if Ning Cheng took the initiative to attack, he could easily beat him, he felt that he and his young master would be easily killed by him. This cultivator was very audacious; he simply did not seem to consider his fate if he killed the young master. Ice.... Fire...... San Pi saw that his attack had no effect on Ning Cheng, but he once again sent out a long Sword Light, he was howling in his heart with fear. He no longer cared about anything, raising his other hand he shot out a Talisman from his body, while simultaneously infusing his sword Artefact with his Qi, the sword de in his hands started to shine in two different colours. One side was icy white, while the other side was fiery red. Two distinct kinds of lights wrapped around the sword de in front of Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng could suddenly feel the air around him stagnate. He himself felt that regardless of if he was to block the icy light or the fiery light, he could only block one of them, making the others power and influence increase. Not just Ning Cheng, but any low levelled cultivators would appreciate this, it was natural as the opponents Qi and attributes waspletely opposite to each other and would end up producing some kind of resistance to each other. If the other party was a cultivator with a fire attribute, while using his fire attribute to block the other partys fire attributed attack, he would inevitably produce a Qi with a fire attribute to resist it, but would then be rtively weakened because of the other partys ice attribute. But some of the more experienced cultivators of the lower levels, all have their unique ways to deal with such a situation. Ning Chengsbat experience was not rich, thus because the de attack had both ice and fire properties, so he immediately had to make a trade-off between them. Ning Cheng was able to block the me attack, but could not block the ice attackpletely. Fortunately, his Qi was not weaker that the one in front of him, in fact even if the Qi of the other party was several times stronger than him it would not have mattered. Under the urgency of the situation, in Ning Chengs mind shed with several distorted movements, it was the same distorted and twisty movements of the rusty faced man he had encountered previously. At that time, he had sent out 6 me Edges, and the other party was able to block only 3 of them, the other three, he could not block, but actually twisted his body to escape them. This kind of distorted body skill, in Ning Chengs mind, in just a short moment, became very clear, the San Pis ice attack, now that Ning Cheng had learned this Distorted Body Skill, he just willed his body to twist to one side. Puff...... blood spurted out, but Ning Cheng calmed his heart down, it was because he could not entirely escape the ice attack, but at least he avoided the vital point that it was aimed at, as a result he was just slightly wounded. San Pi after he used his ice and fire technique, his expression immediately turned pale, it was clear that using that dual attributed attack with Sword Light had a consumption that was clearly not small. He did not wait for him to recover, Ning Cheng immediately drew his sword up, while sending out several me Edges. Ning Chengs means of attack was very simple, besides using the Flying Sword to attack, he only used the me Edges to threaten. His body which he had twisted to escape, had not yet fully recovered. In order to quickly kill Ning Cheng, San Pi had consumed too much of his Qi, now knowing that Ning Cheng sent out a sword sh, he could only escape stiffly. Ning Chengs Sword Light split the shoulder of San Pi apart, he was able to avoid a crucial hit but was ripped apart by the several me Edges thrown at him. On one side, when Miu Wen Hong saw San Pi was killed, he knew that the oue was already decided. Ning Cheng was not killed, but San Pi was. You actually killed San Pi....... Miu Wen Hong still did not dare believe it even after he looked at Ning Cheng, San Pi had told him that Ning Cheng was only at Qi Gathering 4th Level, how can a Qi Gathering 4th Level Cultivator kill a Qi Gathering 6th Level one? Moreover, under the circumstances San Pi had even disyed his iparable Ice C Fire de technique. Ning Cheng felt his Qi recover quickly, he would not let Miu Wen Hong return to Mingot City. After he killed Miu Wen Hong, he would escape to the inner regions of the Mingot Sea, if he stayed in this ce he would just be courting death. You better pray for a good fortune in your next life. Ning Cheng just finished saying, when the sword in his hands split him into two. Miu Wen Hong opened his mouth, he even could not say the words to beg for mercy, even when Ning Chengs sword arrived, before he died, he still couldnt believe that, in the Mingot Sea there was someone who dared to kill him. Ning Cheng was extremely skilled with fire as he quickly burned the two corpses, he put the things of the two men away, turned to An Yi and said, An Yi, well use these two horned beast beasts to flee. Big Brother Ning, where are we going now? An Yi had been living together with Ning Cheng for some time, she knew that Ning Cheng was very capable in making good decisions, thus when Ning Cheng killed Miu Wen Hong and his servant, it did not feel strange to her. Lets go to the sea, before didnt some people ask us to travel by boat? Since there was one ship, then there is also a possibility of another ship. Ning Cheng said in an affirmative way. When he had killed the two people, Miu Wen Hong and his servant, he was already thinking about it, since there was a boat before, then there definitely would be another one to go out to the sea. The Mingot Sea was endless, and the peopleing here were also many, thus there would absolutely be not just one or two boats here. An Yi just gave a hmm sound, she hesitated for a while before asking in a puzzled way, Big Brother Ning, I heard my master say, that anyone who cultivated, they only cultivated in one main attribute. This is also why we all have just a single Main Spiritual Root, even without the Main Spiritual Root, one must look for a suitable attribute that works suitably as the primary attribute for their Support Spiritual Roots. Ning Cheng did not wait for An Yi to finish, he could already understand what An Yi wanted to ask, and then immediately asked An Yi, you want to ask why this San Pi person could simultaneously use the two ice and fire skills, right? Ning Chang was now not a person who was ignorant, now that he had already advanced to the Qi Gathering 4th Level in his cultivation, he was also able to understand some of the truths. Fireball Technique, Waterball Technique, these were the most basics of spell techniques, any kind of Spiritual Root can disy these sort of spells. However, the achievements in it would be limited, and one would not be able to use them inbat. Before when San Pi had used the Dual Attributed Attack with his sword de, it was already a very strong and thus would consume a lot of Qi, this was not something which could be exined with the basic magic spells. Yes, I have been wondering how this San Pi was able to use two different attributes with his sword de. If it was me, I really would not havee up with way to counter it. Could it be that this San Pi had two Main Spiritual Roots? A Dual Spiritual Root Cultivator? An Yi just nodded. Ning Chengughed and said, You may not be able to know about it now, but when your cultivation level is high, you would immediately know. If this San Pi had two Main Spiritual Roots, and was even Dual Spiritual Root cultivator, then today the one who died would have been me and not him. When he casted the ice and fire double edge, he used a Talisman, it should have been a Level 2 Talisman. Chapter 0031 – A Strange Ship Chapter 0031 C A Strange Ship Ning Cheng and An Yi, both havent ridden a stone horned beast before, although they were riding this stone horned beast, and their speed had increased but it was not by much. An Yi, hurry up, we need to escape. Ning Cheng felt the ground was somewhat shaking, this was definitely because arge amount of those stone horned beasts were galloping across the ground, it was clear that someone was chasing them. An Yi simultaneously also felt the subtle vibrations from the ground, she did not need Ning Cheng reminding her, the two people riding on the stone horned beasts, were trying to crazily escape along the shores of the Mange Sea. The vibrations from the ground were getting even more intense, Ning Chengs heart was extremely anxious, he and An Yi had been searching for a long time but still hadnt found a single boat. If they had found a boat, they could have absolutely escaped without dy. But, in ten breaths, Ning Cheng already could see a dark swath covering arge expanse ofnding over, his heart was cold, they really weregging behind. What was the origin of this Miu Wen Hong? Actually getting so many people to chase after him? Big Brother Ning, there is a boat. Ning Cheng was paying attention to the dark swath of soldiers chasing them from behind, An Yi, however, saw that there was a ship at the shore of the Mingot Sea. It really is a ship, quickly go up. Ning Cheng immediately called out to An Yi, both people after jumping from their beasts,nded on the ship. When Ning Cheng arrived on the ship, he at once called out to the ship master to set sail, even if the ship was not going to sail, he would forcibly make the other side to set sail. This was a matter about his small life, so he may not be able to speak kind words. Not only that, Ning Cheng also knew, that most of such ships would also, in arge part, beprised of adventurers. Bluntly put, adventurers were those people who couldnt cultivate, so they and cultivators were two entirely different concepts. But when Ning Cheng arrived at the side of the ships cabin, he immediately swallowed what he wanted to say, the ship wasnt small but he didnt see a single person on it, the entire ship was quiet, there not was even the slightest sound. But there was a faint smell of blood and also a bloody dark aura that wasing from inside the cabin, this made Ning Cheng frown. There is no one inside the ship. said An Yi as even she was also able to sense it, as she somewhat nervously approached towards Ning Cheng. This is not right. Ning Cheng suddenly said, those shiny dark green horde of pursuers he saw a moment ago were also not right. Even if Miu Wen Hongs status was extremely high, it was impossible to quickly track and chase them, moreover with an entire brigade. As Ning Cheng finished speaking, he subconsciously looked back, only to find that he and An Yi, who were standing on the boat had already left the shore of the Mingot Sea behind. He was even not able to see where the shore was, or in which direction was it. Where did the pursuers behind them go? In addition to that, the sky was getting more and more dark, and all he could see was the vast expanse of the endless sea, other than that he could no longer see anything. A cold wind blew past, Ning Cheng felt a cold shiver run through his body, he was also subconsciously shivering with fright, from his Dantian the Mysterious Yellow Bead suddenly shone and sent out some Qi, which swept away the chill in his body. An Yi, where are you going? when Ning Cheng saw An Yi take a step forward, he immediately pulled her back to be safe. He had juste back to his senses when he saw An Yi approach the cabin, it seems that she wanted to enter the cabin. If he had even been a breathte, An Yi would have entered the cabin. Ning Cheng had just caught the wrist of An Yi, when he could feel a strange cold and sticky aura around her. Just when he felt the strange cold aura, the Mysterious Yellow Bead again released a soft warm Qi, and the strange cold aura disappeared without a trace. An Yi recovered and looked at Ning Cheng in a daze and asked, Big Brother Ning, what happened to me a moment ago? Ning Cheng beckoned with his hand, but did not release An Yis wrist, he just stared into the darkness of the cabin and said, Somethings wrong with this ship. An Yi was about to say that they should look for another ship, but immediately understood that she and Ning Cheng could simply not change ships. They were in the middle of the sea and there was no one to control the ship, plus the ships speed was also not slow. I do not care if you are a ghost cultivator or something, me and my cousin are going to borrow your deck to stay for a while, we are irrelevant, but if you dare to plot against us, then I will immediately burn down the ship. Ning Cheng stood outside the cabin and shouted out the few sentences but did not go in. Ning Cheng knew a bit about Ghost Cultivators, they were kind of a vague concept in his memory. Ning Cheng was confident that with his cultivation level, if the other party was just merely some ghost spirit, then he would not have the slightest fear about it. Ning Cheng had just finished saying these words, when they heard a faintughter that came from inside the cabin, this was a very strangeughter, and Ning Cheng was not able to pinpoint the specific source it came from. Ning Cheng subconsciously pulled An Yi and withdrew a few steps back, even if he had great courage and was already a Middle Stage Qi Gathering Level Cultivator, even then this faintughter made his scalp tingle. Almost at the same time, at the back of Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng could immediately subconsciously feel two ice shadows appear behind him in the shape of arrows, he immediately took hold of An Yi and dodged to the side. Those two things definitely had substance to them, he was able to feel them as they shed past his face, thanks to him perceiving them early, he was able to dodge them otherwise his head would definitely have been pierced through by them. It was very terrifying sneak attack, if not for his mind that mysteriously presented the path of the first invisible arrows track, he would surely have been hit by the arrow. Ning Cheng had never been a good speaker nor was he an easy man, even if he knew that the dark shadow who released the arrow was conspiring against him, he would not just suffer the beatings and not strike back. Not waiting even for a moment to let more such arrows to appear, Ning Cheng in the next moment fired off a number of Fireballs as he raised his hands. Without exception, all the fireballs were thrown into the cabin. At this point since his life was already in danger, why would he be concerned if the cabin would end up burning? Just an instant before those few shadow less arrows were shot out from the cabin, An Yi was also able to detect it. If Ning Cheng had not pulled her, she knew that she definitely would not have been able to dodge them. Now when she saw Ning Cheng constantly throw fireballs one after another into the cabin, she also did not hesitate and also started throwing fireballs into the cabin. This ship was originally made of wood, and An Yi and Ning Cheng kept throwing fireballs at the cabin continuously, these fireballs were not made of ordinary fire, this led to the damp ship to start burning. After some time, the inside of the cabin was filled with smoke, and the fire also started to rise up. Ning Cheng did not stop his bombardment, he once again started to throw out fireballs, and this time he wanted topletely burn down the top of the cabin. At this time, a cold voice arrived, Stop, quickly put out the fire, otherwise everyone will die. Ning Cheng, when he heard the voice being transmitted from the cabin, immediately began to throw out fireballs with even more vigour. He could never let a person who threatened him like that live, whether it was a ghost or a ghost cultivator, since they decided to plot against him, they could not me the actions he would take. Before, when he was on the deck he had clearly stated that he did not want to stir up trouble, but since they decided toe for his head, he would definitely retaliate against them. Do you want everyone to die? It is not necessary, right? We were just looking for a deck to survive. You being a ghost or a ghost cultivator, you already have the word ghost, we do not want to get in contact with you ...... While speaking, Ning Cheng again threw a number of fireballs out, this time even the top of the cabin was already on fire. All right, this time I am in the wrong. I am neither a ghost nor a ghost cultivator, will you please extinguish the fire, I am willing to give you somepensations for it. A helpless voice with a bit of frustration in it came from the cabin, he could onlypromise with Ning Cheng. What would youpensate me with? Ning Cheng was not the kind of guy who would be moved easily, if there was some fear in him before, he did not have even a trace of it now. Ghost Cultivators and ghosts, he had never seen them, he did not know whether it was an incredible affair or not. Of the things that could not be seen, people would always have some fear towards them. Since the other party was not one of them, what was there to be feared about? I am familiar with the waters of this area, I can also help you in advancing into the Late Stages of the Qi Gathering Realm. Otherwise with your cultivation level of Qi Gathering 4th Level, you cultivators would only be food for someone else. I do not like to be stabbed in the back. Ning Cheng said slowly, he did not make any demands, nor did he stop him. Bang...... a piece of wood from the crossbars at the top of the cabin fell down, hitting the deck of the ship, and issued a bang sound. I swear, if I, Fang, dare plot against you again, I will be frightened out of my wits, I will not give any opportunity for it to happen again. The voice from inside the cabin said as it came to understand that Ning Cheng was not someone that it could easily deal with, and swore to not dare cheat him. You are called Fang? Ning Cheng continued as he stopped throwing fireballs out. But the voice from inside the cabin was urgent, and said, After you put out the fire on the ship, you can then ask my name, OK? Inside the cabin, the fire was burning everything, having not yet be too powerful, after Ning Cheng threw a number of Waterballs over, the me was immediately suppressed, but after a moment once more rose again. Ning Cheng seeing this, raised his hands and directly brought up the water under the ship, and threw it at the raging fire, An Yi also came to help, with the two people working together, they managed to put out the me. Quite good, a mere Qi Gathering 4th Level, but unexpectedly have such a thick Qi. No wonder you could escape my shadow less arrow. The voice from the cabin came unexpectedly. Ning Cheng said with a voice filled with disdain, I am only at the Qi Gathering Realm, wait till I get to the Essence Building Realm, then to deal with such a ghost, I could just use you as a sacrifice for my Flying Sword. Well, the people here are too stupid, who told you that you could not be able to control a Flying Sword while being in the Qi Gathering Realm? As a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator you can utilize Qi, if your Qi is strong and thick enough, you can use the same to control the Flying Sword. When the voice from the cabin heard the words of Ning Cheng, he replied with an equally cold voice filled with disdain. After these cold words from him, he seemed to remember that Ning Cheng had called him a ghost of sorts, he was not happy with it and once again said, Do not call me a ghost, I am called Fang Yijan, and am not a ghost, I am an Essence Spirit. But since you are also able to survive my attacks, it shows that you are also capable,e in lets talk about it. Essence Spirit? I thought you were a ghost. It looks like therge amount of people who were chasing us on the shore were really rted to Miu Wen Hongs background. Ning Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, he did not think that the people from the Mingot Citys Wolf Pce would react so fast and also be able to form such arge team to chase them in just a short amount of time. The other party iming to be an Essence Spirit with the name of Fang Yijan said with a cold voice, You are wrong again, that brigade rushing towards you, they were real soul soldiers. Chapter 0032 – The Helpless Fang Jiyan Chapter 0032 C The Helpless Fang Jiyan Soul Soldiers? Ning Cheng was stunned for a moment, soul soldiers apparently meant that they did not have the soulposition of life. But a moment ago, werent they valiantly beating their hooves, how was it possible for them to be soul soldiers? Then again, do we really have a soul? Seeing Ning Chengs stupid expression, Fang Jiyans voice again sounded, Whats there to be surprised about, in the countless years, dont you know how many innumerable cultivators have died in the waters of the Mingot Sea, a cultivators soul is already powerful, and many of them even have their own shape, the forms of the soul soldiers are thus also not surprising. Those soul soldiers all look alike, although they are a bit fearful, taking your cultivation level and vignce into consideration, they are not worth mentioning. Ning Cheng this time understood clearly, the voice of Fang Jiyan wasing from the hull of the ship He understood that this was the home of Fang Jiyan, and slightly loosened his heart, leading An Yi to enter the cabin with him. You have taken shelter in the woods of the hull, does that mean the wood of the hull is made from something special? Ning Cheng knew that for an Essence Spirit to take shelter in the wood, he immediately came to understand that the wood that the ship was made of was not ordinary. Otherwise Fang Jiyan would have left early on, even if he burned the ship to the ground, Fang Jiyan should not have cared about it. Its nothing special, its just that I like this ship, and was foolish enough to get ustomed to this ship. Fang Jiyan nonchntly said. Ning Cheng nced around and found that the same material made up many other things, and he immediately said, So is the case, this type of wood, I know about it, it can be used to make a chair that can be quite refreshing to sit upon, this ship has quite a few of such wooden materials, Ill dig them up and start using them. I am sure that this will not split apart the boat, you can rest assured about it. Seeing Ning Cheng ready to tear down the rest of the remaining stains of the Soul Nourishing Wood, Fang Jiyan was rmed and said, Do not dismantle it, I will tell you why you cant, these wood pieces are from the Soul Wood Tree, in each stain here there is an inch of the soul that is the Soul Woods Heart, I am depended on it preserve my body and soul, if you demolish them, I would also be finished. It is a soul wood...... When Ning Cheng heard this he was overjoyed, he had seen this Soul Wood in the book that An Yi had given him. In fact, people usually keep the Soul Wood actually for the Soul Wood Heart, each stub can hold a soul, but it was really useful in keeping the soul preserved in the one-inch wooden heart. Here there were already four of such stubs, even if he left one for Fang Jiyan, he could still obtain the remaining three. Of course, he would certainly not take the three stubs away, for him, as long as he could keep the wood heart of the soul wood he would walk away. Seeing the glowing look in Ning Chengs eyes, Fang Jiyan thought that it was not good, this guy was too greedy, and he quickly said, You have eyes but fail to see how the ship was built, digging out the Soul Wood would be akin to cutting down the ship, if you had not met me, this would simply have been a waste of natures resources. By the way, can I ask what is the name of this friend who has no respect? Ning Cheng did not know what was the meaning of Fang Jiyans words? Did Fang Jiyan wanted to remind them that since he was the one who found the soul wood, thus it was his. However, Ning Cheng just ignored the meaning of the words spoken by Fang Jiyan, he was almost killed by this guy, how would he be kind to him? He just proceeded to smile and said, I am called Ning Cheng, meeting you today was just destiny. I think that you are quite pleasing to the eye, there are four one inch stubs of the soul wood here, I decided to leave you one of them, as for the other three one inch stubs, I am taking them away. Brother Ning, you cannot do this....... Fang Jiyan saw Ning Cheng go forward to dig out the three stumps of the soul wood, he was suddenly shocked. He had stayed here because of the soul wood, if he didnt have the soul woods, he was finished, staying here would not have any significance. Ning Chengplexion turnedpletely cold and said, Brother Fang, I had heard others say if two people each covered half the distance to a certain avenue, they would gain some wealth and share it amongst themselves. However, when one identally strayed from the avenue and asked the other if he could break the rule and share some wealth with him, do you think that he should just disregard the rules and divide the wealth with him? Fang Jiyan had lived for countless years, he did not think that he would hear such words. Whats this disregard of rules? This was in and simple robbery. I did not mean that, I mean that I am an Essence Spirit, and you have a body of flesh, once you take the soul wood away, for me it would be a disaster. ce yourself in my shoes, if Brother Ning you were in my position, you would probably also have the same idea like me. Fang Jiyan said as he forced back his anger, without the soul wood here, why would he stay in this fucked up ce? He didnt know that the rascal kid in front of him would do such kind of business, originally he thought that the two cultivators had a pure psyche, but he did not think that they would use his own thoughts against him and find him guilty. Contrary to what Fang Jiyan expected, Ning Cheng just nodded and said, What Brother Fang said was absolutely right, thanks for reminding me Brother Fang. This person had no foresight and must have caused you to immediately worry, dont worry I will dig out only the Soul Wood Core so that I could use it in the future, thanks a lot. Fang Jiyan wanted to cry, he was trying to persuade Ning Cheng to not dig, but didnt think that it would be counterproductive. When he saw Ning Cheng take out a Flying Sword, and pointed it towards one of the soul wood stumps as he carved out section of the soul wood and brought out the core of the soul wood, when he saw this his heart was almost bleeding. Ning Cheng did not stop and went on to the next soul wood stump and dug out the second wood core that was in the soul wood stump. Seeing Ning Cheng go to dig out the third Soul Wood Core from the third soul wood stump, Fang Jiyan could really not hold back and said, Brother Ning, please stop. Brother Ning is just at Qi Gathering 4th Level, surely there are many things that you do not understand. If Brother Ning is willing to leave behind just one Soul Wood Core, any question that you have, I will try to help and teach you with the best of my knowledge. Others may not dare, but I can guarantee that you would sessfully pass through the Qi Gathering Realm in the shortest time. After listening to the words of Fang Jiyan, Ning Cheng stopped his actions and said, Brother Fang, you said that yourself, I do have some questions for you. We can just use this Soul Wood as your reward. If he had teeth, then, at this time Fang Jiyan would have already bitten him to death, as if saying that those soul woods were clearly for his own good? Nevertheless, he could only smile drily and said, Brother Ning, please ask what you want, this Fang will definitely reply if he had the knowledge of it. Yes, Brother Fang, I heard that an Essence Spirit can take possession of other bodies, how can I prevent myself be possessed by you? Ning Cheng pulled An Yi and sat down, as he suddenly asked an irrelevant question. Brother Ning really likes to joke; how can I take possession of my brother. Fang Jiyan said with a smile but he was shouting abuses at him in his heart. Cultivating to this age, and also a mere Qi Gathering 4th Level, without looking at his Spiritual Roots he could tell that he had rubbish talent, only an idiot would try to possess you. But Ning Cheng cautiously nodded and said, Then I can rest assured, I heard people say that only by cultivating to the Essence Building Realm, only then one would be able to manifest their Spiritual Sense and transform it into a consciousness, and only then bring it outside their body. When in the True Condensation Realm, only then would have the means to control their Artefacts with their Spiritual Sense. But Brother Fang said earlier, that even a Qi Gathering Cultivator can bring out their Spiritual Sense? When he heard about this cultivation practice, Fang Jiyans tone immediately became full of disdain and said, People who say these words are just idiots, a genuine cultivator in the Qi Gathering Realm can also use their Spiritual Sense externally, but only up to a certain limit because of their Cultivation Method and insufficient Spiritual Sense. Even so, Qi Gathering Realm cultivators can also control the Artefacts and use them to attack the enemy. In Le Continent, Qi Gathering Cultivators that use Flying Swords to attack are all toomon. Is the matter you spoke of true? Ning Cheng hurriedly inquired. Since Fang Jiyan had already fallen, so he had nothing to hide and said, The Qi in the Le Continent is very rich, and even the Cultivation Methods there are also numerous, the level of power of these Cultivation Methods is clearly something not a mere low grade continent canpare to. In fact, even in many mid-grade continents, there are many Qi Gathering Cultivators who can control the Flying Sword with their Spiritual Sense. Since Low Grade Continents are deprived of Qi, in order to expedite the cultivation speed, some of the Cultivation Methods will weaken the role of Spiritual Sense, this results in only True Condensation Realm Cultivators being the ones who can only use the Artefacts, while Essence Building Realm Cultivators can manifest their Spiritual Sense outside. So the Cultivation Methods we use to cultivate with are actually simplified versions of the original Cultivation Methods. Ning Cheng suddenly came to understand, so as to say, the Cultivation Methods that his Mysterious Yellow Bead had modified, the one that he was currently using, should be theplete version of the Cultivation Method. He wanted to try if he could use it to control the Flying Sword. You bring the ship to the sea side, but it is clearly not intended for fishing? Deceiving people to embark? What happened to the original people on this ship? When Ning Cheng thought how he was able to embark the ship, he suddenly became clear in his mind. Although Fang Jiyan did not understand what he meant by fishing, listening to the words of Ning Cheng he was able to understand a part of the meaning behind it, and immediately replied, Thats right, I really was fishing? I am an Essence Spirit, in addition to nourishing the soul with the help the soul wood, because I practice a powerful Cultivation Method, so I also have to swallow some souls to grow. This ship originally had some problems, and I happened to be the one who consumed those souls. Ning Cheng sneered in his heart, there were certainly a number of ring issues, he was certain that he would have to kill this Fang Jiyan himself. Can you give me a few of those Cultivation Methods, I want something of a higher rank, I was cheated by you to board the ship, you can at least show them to me right? Ning Cheng was certain that Fang Jiyan had good background, perhaps he has many good things on him. When Fang Jiyan heard Ning Cheng to show him his Cultivation Methods, he just quickly waved his hands and said, I do not really cultivate, I am just an Essence Spirit. Really? Ning Cheng asked him once more. Fang Jiyan shuddered, in his heart he was increasingly regretting letting Ning Cheng board his ship, this was the first time he had met a person who could dodge his shadow less arrows which could easily massacre groups of cultivators at Qi Gathering 4th Level. I do not have any, but I have a way to help you get a Cultivation Method, thus I must make the trade with you. In a ce not far from here, this is an ind called the Dragon Ind. You help me spread the news inside the Mingot City, that another ind called Dragon Ind appeared in the Mingot Sea which has a lot of low levelled treasures from the sea. When the timees I will give you a map, as long as you aplish this for me, I will definitely help you make a breakthrough in your Cultivation Method. After Fang Jiyan finished speaking, he felt that he wascking a bit of confidence in his own words. Ning Cheng immediately understood the idea behind the words of Fang Jiyan, since the Dragon Ind had plenty of low level treasured from the sea, it would certainly attract many adventurers over. But at the same time it would also attract a lot of low levelled cultivators toe over, then this Fang Jiyan would hide in the Dragon Ind with the others, and then slowly devour their souls. Ning Cheng emotionlessly replied, I am really sorry, I was just inside the Mingot City and have already offended the Wolf Pce and the Houhai Vige, you want me to go to the Mingot City, do you want to see me dead that badly? After Fang Jiyan listened to those words, he was already cursing loudly in his heart, this kid really was not a good thing, a mere cultivator of the Qi Gathering 4th Realm, but brought cmity everywhere, even unexpectedly offending the two main powers of the Mingot City. He had swallowed numerous souls, so of course, he understood what was in store for Ning Cheng in the hands of Wolf Pce and the Houhai Vige. It appears, you really do not want to give me the Cultivation Method, it is really regrettable, I will not trouble you again, um, there is a small boat on this ship, me and my cousin will be taking that boat now. Ning Cheng said as he slowly stood up. Dont worry, I will think of a way...... when Fang Jiyan heard Ning Cheng wanted to walk away, he was suddenly rmed. He and Ning Cheng had not been together for a long time, but to him it felt that Ning Cheng was a very shameless person. If he did not satisfy Ning Cheng, perhaps Ning Cheng would really disembark, and then afterwards he would throw numerous fireballs from behind to burn up the ship. Chapter 0033 – A Different Path Chapter 0033 C A Different Path With a rustling sound, several Jade Pieces were thrown out. What are these Jade Pieces? Ning Cheng did not understand when he saw those Jade Pieces, on the contrary he felt a bit strange. I heard my master say, that when one cultivated, one could carve their knowledge into those Jade Pieces. Engraving and recording them with your spirit, whenpared to writing on a parchment, it can store many times more information. However, it is necessary for one to have a good spiritual talent, otherwise the contents will be invisible. An Yi whispered with a small voice in Ning Chengs ear. Fang Jiyan said with some contempt in his voice, What that little girl said is right, the Jade Pieces before you contain a lot of records, even I do not know how many records they contain. Ning Cheng himself was looking forward to it, and quickly put the Jade Pieces away and asked, Is there anything else? I just gave you the Jade Pieces than contain a top ss Cultivation Methods, a person like you would not be able to finish cultivating it anyway, what possibly more could you want? Fang Jiyan said in a somewhat angry manner. For example, you could still give me the Jade Pieces containing the Array Formations methods. Ning Cheng just nonchntly said. Here you go, these are the Jade Pieces that contains the basic Array Formations Methods, inside you will find the entry level Foundation Arrays and also an introduction to them. Fang Jiyan said as he sneered in his heart, with your qualification, you also want to learn Array Formation Methods? Bah! Another example would be the Jade Pieces that contain information regarding Spiritual Grasses, I will not demand it from you......... Here you go. By the way, I think that if I could have one or two more powerful spells, then I could be able to beat other people, it shouldnt be much expensive. Of course, I am just casually saying. Here you go. Fang Jiyan forced back his anger inside, these things that he gave to Ning Cheng, it was simply a turtle eating the barley, it was aplete waste of food. Thank you, Brother Fang, you really helped me greatly. This time when I was in the Mingot City I saw someone selling Pills, my heart was filled with envy, if I could also make pills, in the future I would be able to save up a lot of Spirit Stones. Ning Cheng did not even dy for half a minute in front of Fang Jiyan, and still was deeplymenting while sighing. Fang Jiyan said with a voice filled with disdain, Do you want to refine Pills? Do you even know how difficult Alchemy is? Do you know that even inrge families and ns, it is very difficult for them to train a Pill Master? With your cultivation level, even if there was some chance, I will still advise you to give up on this idea. Ning Cheng just disagreed and said, There is a Pill auction at the end of the month in the Mingot City, arent these Pills made and refined by humans? If other people can learn them, then why cant I study them? Fang Jiyan sneered, Can those pieces of garbage even be called as Pills? Even the best level of their products cannot be regarded as a Pill. At most those products can only be regarded as Red Pills and nothing more. Red Pill? Ning Cheng asked immediately, since he did not understand them, now that he had the opportunity, he would not be polite about it. Fang Jiyan did not grasp the tone in which he said, and directly said, These people have a limited knowledge about Spiritual Sense, nor have they inherited the refining procedures of the Pills, and thus are unable to refine Pills, they can only make Medicinal Solutions. These so called medicinal solutions, refers to using some simple methods to purify the Spiritual Grasses, and then mixed with each other ording to a certain proportion. Red Pills are simr to these medicinal solutions, they do note out from refining in a furnace, but by solidification of the solution. Ning Cheng was stunned, he did not think that refining Pills was so difficult, after listening to him speaking, those so called high quality medicines that he had referred to as Pills, that was a little bit too shameless. Seeing Ning Cheng silent, Fang Jiyan said again, Even if I was able to refine Pills, I do not have any Jade Pieces regarding Alchemy to make such pills. Ning Cheng knew that Fang Jiyan does not have any Jade Pieces regarding Alchemy, and said with a depressed voice, Since it is like that, let us forget this matter, I would like to leave now, goodbye. Although Fang Jiyan was anxious for Ning Cheng to get out of his ship, but he was also afraid that once Ning Cheng left, he would send out a fireball to burn down the ship, and he reluctantly said, This is a pretty big ship, if you want you can also stay here....... Ning Cheng unhurriedly said, Brother Fang, the personalities of two of us are different. Your ship is specifically designed to kill people, and also to refine their souls. Me and you also have nomonnguage between us, I am good person, how can I be together with an Essence Spirit like you in the same ce? Having said this, Ning Cheng directly pushed the small boat into the sea and jumped onto it along with An Yi. In just a blink of the eye, the boat that came from the ship disappeared into the vast waters of the Mingot Sea. When Fang Jiyan saw that Ning Cheng was not throwing fireballs to attack his ship, he was relieved and at the same time cursed out to them, The two of us have different personalities, what a load of fart, you little bastard, why dont you take all my Jade Pieces? Take away all the things of your father, besides saying those shameless words once again to my face. Big Brother Ning, I think what you did was right, although that Fang was a senior, but he would just casually kill innocent people, this definitely should not happen. An Yi stood on the boat, and was in admiration of the decision made by Ning Cheng. She felt that she was really starting to understand Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng was actually embarrassed and standing on one side of the boat he said, In fact, I am actually not that refined or noble. In this world only the strong would have a ce of respect in this world, Ning Cheng will not be as noble or refined as to me Fang Jiyan for killing innocent people casually. The main reason why he had left the ship, was because he was afraid of staying there. Although this Fang person was just an Essence Spirit, he was already able to shoot groups of such shadow less arrows, the only way he would live together with such a person, was unless he was really tired of living. This Fang Jiyan feared that he would burn his ship, but he also feared Fang Jiyan. If he had the ability to get rid of this Fang Jiyan, perhaps he really would have gotten rid of that guy already. If there was arge ship, who would use a boat? Moreover, Ning Cheng knew that burning the ship was something which would harm other without benefiting oneself, Ning Cheng was not brain dead, of course, he would not do such a thing. An Yi knew that Ning Chengs mind was glistening with his intestines, but she still looked at Ning Cheng with an esteemed face and said, Big Brother Ning, it was fortunate that I met you, if not you, then, I would have to stay back in the Blue Heart Temple, and I think that it would not be easy. As my master had said, perhaps some people might havee there with bad intentions. Ning Cheng did not refute what An Yi had said, he just nodded his head and said, Before I did not understand anything about Array Formations, and thought that the Blue Heart Temple was a safe ce, but I just came to know about it now, it really was not safe there. The Array Formation around the Blue Heart Temple, at best, would be able to act against Ning Cheng who was a rookie in this area, but for others, it would certainly pose no problem. For someone who was even slightly proficient in the Array Formation Methods, he would be able to crack it open easily. Big Brother Ning, where are we going now? At this time as they were already in the middle of the sea, and as she depended on Ning Cheng, she did not give it any more thought. We first start by finding an ind nearby to gain experience and to train while simultaneously raising our cultivation levels. After a period of time, the information about us will slowly die down, and then we will go ashore again. Anyway, we have brought more than enough things with us, at least we would not be afraid dying due to starvation. The boat under Ning Cheng and An Yi could also be stored in the Storage Bags, and moreover in the Storage Bags they had enough stockpiles of food and water. Meanwhile Ning Cheng started to inspect the spoils that he had obtained from Fang Jiyan, An Yi saw that Ning Cheng was upied with his own matter, and simply rowed the boat. Miu Wen Hong and his servant did not have a Storage Bag on them, it showed that Storage Bags were quite rare, the best thing that San Pi had was a low grade Artefact. Miu Wen Hong estimated that the equipment of San Pi was good enough to have an advantage over them, thus he only gave San Pi a low grade Artefact. As for Miu Wen Hongs articles, apart from some gold coins, there was only some obscene/filthy medicine and the likes. Ning Cheng despised this kind of young master, the kid had advanced to the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, presumably because his Spiritual Roots were even better than him. But this kid ced all his time and energy in the embrace of womens belly, he even carried things rted to it on him, there was basically no good stuff that he could use. Throwing those things into his Storage Bag with his hands, Ning Cheng began to continue his studies of Array Formation from the books that An Yi had given him. As for the pieces of Jade that were given to him by Fang, Ning Cheng did not use them. He knew that the him now was still weak, and so trying to study from those Jade Pieces would not be possible at the moment. As Ning Cheng researched the basic Array Formation Methods, he once again entered the sudden enlightenment condition. An Yi and Ning Cheng had not been with each other for a short time, she had long since be ustomed to Ning Chengs method of learning. She did not disturb Ning Cheng, and at the same time controlled the boat herself, but she often put some food and water nearby Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng waspletely immersed in his state of concentration, in his mind emerged a three dimensional Array Formation method screen. The orientation of the Array Formations was unceasingly evolving in his mind, while it was constantly being modified by him. Five days shed by, when Ning Cheng turned thest page of the book, he unexpectedly discovered that he had alreadypleted understanding the foundation Array Formation methods. I had read the book for several years, but was only able to gain a smattering of knowledge, but I did not expect that in just a half a month you would be able topletelyprehend the entire book. As An Yi saw Ning Cheng turn over thest page of the book, she said quietly from the side. She had always been a quite person, although for these past ten days, Ning Cheng and she had never said anything to each other, but she did not feel lonely. Ning Cheng looked at An Yi with an apologetic look in his eyes, and was just about to speak, when a huge wave rushed over, he and An Yi were directly thrown off the boat. The next moment, the sky turned gloomy, with lightning shing across the sky, followed by the sound of thunder, and raindrops the size of soybeans started falling densely packed together. Chapter 0034 – Deserted Island Chapter 0034 C Deserted Ind Ning Cheng was just nning to arrange a Rain Avoidance Array Formation, when the boat was burst open by the wave, and two rows of dense and sharp white teeth tried to bite into Ning Cheng. This time An Yi reacted unexpectedly quicker than Ning Cheng, sending out a Wind Edge past Ning Cheng, it directly split the sea beast with the sharp white teeth letting it fall back into the sea. Ning Cheng looked at An Yi in a surprised way, in his view, An Yi was always slower than him in reacting, but now, how did she react this quickly? Although this sea beast was nothing to speak of in front of him, as even a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 1st Realm could take care of it easily, but this reaction speed from An Yi made Ning Cheng see her in a high regard. Seeing the surprised look on Ning Chengs face, An Yi said in a shy manner, These days, there have been a variety of sea beasts attacking our boat, I was prepared all the time, so...... Ning Cheng suddenly understood, because he was caught up in the study of the Array Formations, An Yi did not allow these low level sea beasts to disturb his study, so she assumed the task of defending him and the boat from the attacks of those wild sea beasts. Although the strength of these sea beasts were low, it was a thing that most adventures like to hunt the most. There were many valuable things that one could get from the body of these sea beasts, one of these sea beasts can easily sell for a few dozen gold coins. Ning Cheng, at present, did not care about gold coins, even if it was Qi Gathering Stones, he did not care about it very much. What he cared about were Spirit Stones, in order to cultivate and also increase his Qi, ordinary Qi Gathering Stones were not much use to him. Another wave arrived, Ning Cheng did not even have the chance to say thanks, when he hurriedly tried to take control of the boat once again. When Ning Cheng was preparing to arrange the Array Formation, he found that he did not even have a single Array g, as he basically did not refine any Array gs. At this point of time, for him, all the Array Formations and the Array gs, were all theoretical things, at present he could not make them into reality. The rain was growing harder and harder, and even the waves were growingrger with each passing moment. Ning Cheng and An Yi absolutely did not have any means to take shelter from this rain at this time, the two of them had to control the boat with all their strength, at least they did not want the boat to overturn. Although Ning Cheng and An Yi were both at Qi Gathering 4th Level, and the heavy rain didnt seem to stop anytime soon. The two people controlled the boat for the whole day, but unexpectedly it rained harder and harder. In addition, the waves were also several feet high, although the boat was being controlled by Ning Cheng and An Yi, but it was slowly breaking apart. A small wooden boat, under this kind of wind and waves, was able to persist for a whole day, it can already be regarded as exceptional. The boatpletely broke apart under the unending storm, and Ning Cheng and An Yi both fell directly into the sea. Ning Cheng first grabbed a wooden nk, and turned to find An Yi, but he could only see a few pieces of An Yis clothes. Ning Cheng panicked, while clutching onto the wooden nk, he directly gathered his Qi into his hands and rushed out, grabbed An Yi and held her tight to his bosom. An Yi was also a cultivator at Qi Gathering 4th Level, but because she did not have any experience of the sea, and as she was constantly fighting the storms and the waves of the sea, she was already very exhausted. Moreover prior to this, she was also constantly taking care of Ning Cheng for nearly a week. At the time when the wooden boat began to split apart, she did not say that she could swim, even if she could swim, she would be unable to because of her exhaustion. Fortunately, Ning Cheng was able to react quickly, and caught An Yi with his hands, or else, An Yi feared that she would have been washed away by the rough waves of the sea. An Yi broke out of the surface of water with the help of Ning Cheng, spat out a few mouthfuls of the seas salty water, and said, Big Brother Ning, are we going to die? Ning Cheng was hugging An Yi as he treaded the water, his heart was also gloomy, if he still had the broken wooden nk, maybe he could find a way deal with the situation for some more time, but now he had lost the broken wooden nk, even if he was more powerful, he did not know how long would he be able to persist. Big Brother Ning, if the both of us die, will we also be like those soul soldiers,ing in and out of the periphery of the sea every day? An Yi said as she unexpectedly thought of the soul soldiers that she heard about back then. Ning Cheng quickly said, Dont go blindly thinking of things, we may not die, as long as the storm stops, we can perhaps be saved. Well, if we could fly out by riding on the Flying Sword, we wouldnt have to be afraid of the waves...... He did not even speak a few words when arge wave directly crashed onto Ning Cheng, making him plunge into the water again. After the rough sea wave, An Yi lifted her hand to help Ning Cheng remove her hair that was sticking to his face and said, Big Brother Ning, it would be better if you let me go, but I am a person who is really afraid. I am not a person who is afraid of death, but I am afraid that I may turn into a soul soldier...... Ning Cheng was barely holding onto An Yi, but unwillingly said, Do not be silly, how could I let you go? Death is always death, letting you go is all the same, if two people go with each other, at least both of them will have apanion. I have already died once, and if I die once again, perhaps I can still go back....... Big Brother Ning, does a girlfriend have the same meaning as fiance? An Yi saw that Ning Cheng suddenly turned silent and did not finish his words, and suddenly took the initiative to ask. Initially An Yi had asked Ning Cheng about his girlfriend, but at that time they were suddenly interrupted by those two cultivators who were flying about and fighting with each other. Ning Cheng did not expect that An Yi would ask about it again in this situation? Ning Cheng was just thinking about Ning Ruo Lan a moment ago, but now he was thinking of Tian Mu Wan, this time he did not know if he would survive, now that An Yi had asked again, he did not conceal anything and replied directly, A girlfriend is not a fiance, to want a girlfriend to be ones fiance, you have to propose to her and get engaged. Is she your girlfriend because you forgot to propose to her, so did you both ended up in a fight because of that? Ning Cheng sighed and said, Thats not it, that person who is currently is my fiance went in that persons car in front of me, although I know that she might have done it intentionally, but with my personality I just cant ept it, I think...... An Yi face suddenly changed, and said in a fierce tone, Big Brother Ning, who is this shameless woman? You still bring her up....... Another rough sea wave hit them, Ning Cheng by now had a bit of experience, and holding onto An Yi he plunged into the water, escaping the waves in the process, and once again brought their heads up to the surface. Wiping the water from his face, Ning Cheng forcibly smiled and said, An Yi, you mentioned something a moment ago, but I never originally mentioned her. In the meantime, in his heart, he was speechless, he knew An Yi hasnt been to Earth, so this kind of viewpoint can be considered normal. This sense of shame was simply two different things, rather Ning Cheng had no way to exin this kind of thing to An Yi. Sorry, Big Brother Ning, I should not have brought it up. An Yi felt Ning Chengs sadness, suddenly even her heart did not feel that good. She had always followed her master to cultivate together, but together with Ning Cheng, she felt that she could speak up a little more than with her master. An Yi, did you look at those sea beasts that had sneak attacked us? Ning Cheng said as he subconsciously embraced An Yi tightly, but his heart was cold as ice. A dense cluster of those sea beasts were approaching Ning Cheng and An Yi, each of those sea beasts eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty tint, as their sharp white teeth shone. It was obvious that they were seeing them as their prey. Its a type of canine...... An Yi was in a state of panic, it was inconceivable for her, if the two of them were to be attacked by that dense cluster of sea beasts, then there would not even be a shred of meat left behind. Ning Cheng took out the Flying Sword, holding the sword in one of his hands, he darted to the front of the dozens of those sea beasts, and started to directly tear them apart with the sword. These sharp toothed sea beasts immediately surrounded those dead sea beasts, they were entirely eating up their deadrades that Ning Cheng had cut up just now. The waves seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, and actually did not crash over them for a long time, but for Ning Cheng it was getting harder every passing moment, he was wielding the Flying Sword continuously as he killed those sea beasts, while holding An Yi and retreating back as much as possible. Because of the seas resistance, he could not increase his speed. Wanting to survive at any cost, Ning Cheng erupted with an unprecedented power and strength, he took An Yi as he was retreating while killing, unexpectedly, he went on like this for more than half a day. Those sharped toothed sea beasts were just too much, as soon as he killed some, he would have to kill many more. An Yi.... Ning Cheng was going to say that he did not have any more strength to continue, when a piece of reef appeared in front of him. An Yi also saw the piece of reef at the same time, she was about to speak, when Ning Cheng joyfully shouted, We have arrived at an ind...... Speaking that, Ning Cheng once again erupted with thest amount of strength that he could muster, with An Yi clutched to his bosom, he started to pick up speed, and eventually rushed out of the water and unexpectedly fell onto the reef on the outer periphery of the ind. After taking a few steps into the ind, he could not go any further and fell onto the ground saying, Finally escaped with our lives...... Ning Cheng suddenly stopped speaking, he just stared at An Yi who was pressing her body onto him. To be honest, Ning Cheng had never regarded An Yi as an adult, but the An Yi now had her clothespletely soaked, which showed her exquisite womanly shapes which could even bepared to the best of the women. Ning Cheng had a unique feeling in his heart, this little nun usually is ordinary at all times, just when did her bosom get so big? Chapter 0035 – Lansha Island Chapter 0035 C Lansha Ind An Yi did not realize that she waspletely exposed in front of Ning Cheng, but instead was tightly holding onto Ning Cheng, and was even trembling. An Yi...... Ning Cheng was just going to ask An Yi if she was alright, but he felt that something was not right, he and An Yi werepletely surrounded by a foggy haze, even An Yis snow white chest was blocked out by the fog, and appeared indistinctly. There are soul soldiers...... An Yi said in a trembling voice, she seemed very afraid of the soul soldiers. Ning Cheng already threw An Yis chest problems aside in his mind, and instantly sat up, he simply refused to be exhausted, he immediately grabbed An Yi and hid behind a protruding piece of rock. A headless man carrying his head in his hand was slowly moving forward in the foggy haze. After the headless man walked a few steps forward, he suddenly removed his bloody palm from the head in his hands, and then immediately plugged it into the mouth of the head. The head in his other hand, unexpectedly began to slowly chew on that bloody palm. Ning Chengs scalp was tingling unceasingly, even when he was on that Fangs ship, he did not have this kind of eerie feeling. After the headpletely chewed through the bloody hand, it suddenly turned its head in their direction, the two grey eyes were like dying embers and were staring directly in the direction where Ning Cheng and An Yi were hiding, there was even blood dripping from the corners of its mouth. Ning Cheng felt his heart turn cold, but at the same time the Mysterious Yellow Bead sent out a strand of Qi again, driving the ice cold feeling out of his body. Fortunately, it did not seem that that headless man knew that Ning Cheng and An Yi were hiding in the direction he was looking, and it leisurely walked away into the foggy haze disappearing from their view. Big Brother, that soul soldier did not have a head....... An Yi spoke with a bit tremor in her voice, apparently she had not seen such a strange and frightful scene before. Ning Cheng spoke while lowering his voice, An Yi, I suspect that it was not a soul soldier that we had first met, we have just arrived on this ind. Now suddenly there is a lot of fog around, it simply makes us not see thing clearly. Here it is very likely to be an Array Formation, perhaps it is an Illusion Array Formation. A person that had no head, simply does not exist, it is an illusion produced by our own minds. Although he wasforting An Yi, Ning Cheng in his heart was notpletely sure either, he could not confirm if that was an illusion or not, because it felt way too real. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the fog gradually disappeared, and Ning Cheng and An Yi were again able to see the original ind that was in front of them. I know; this is the Lansha Ind. Ning Cheng finally had something that clicked in his mind, he felt that the surroundings were somewhat familiar, it was clearly depicted in the map provided to them by that Taoist Pu. Ning Cheng never forgot the details, although he had already thrown away the two route maps, but the Array Formation that was drawn in the route map, he still remembered it clearly. The blue sands in the outer periphery of the Lansha Ind were actually the Array Formation that was in front of them. What do we do now? I heard that a Golden Cicada Fruit Tree appeared here, it would mean that there will be a lot of peopleing over. said An Yi when heard Ning Cheng say that this ind was the Lansha Ind, she asked this in a bit worried voice. Ning Cheng immediately said, That Taoist Pu wanted us to join their team, they absolutely did not have any good intentions towards us. No matter if this Taoist Pu had alreadye over before the 15th of that month or during the 15th of this month, currently we do not have sufficient strength to act against them. There are still 15 days till this Ind opens once again for the people, we first have to find a safe ce to hide. If there was even a boat around, Ning Cheng wanted to leave this ce as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there was not even a boat around let alone a ship, they simply could not walk away from here. He did not believe that he could obtain the Golden Cicada Fruit, this kind of thing like the Golden Cicada Fruit, it was not something that was easy to obtain, how could that Taoist Pu and the others who were only at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level obtain it? Ning Cheng and An Yi did not dare to enter the heart of the ind, they were walking along the edge of the ind for more than an hour, finally they found a huge rock on the side of the ind. Ning Cheng took out the low grade Artefact that he had obtained after their confrontation with San Pi, it was a long knife, seeking a secluded ce for them to hide, he began to dig with the help of the Artefact. Ning Cheng was cultivator at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, in addition, he had a low grade Artefact, but at the same time he did not cherish that Artefact, in as little as half a day, Ning Cheng was able to dig out a huge rocky cavern from the huge stone. At this time An Yi had already changed into a fresh set of clothes, and followed Ning Cheng into the new cave he had dug out of the huge rock. They had only just entered the freshly made cave, when the foggy haze enveloped the outside once again. It is very strange here, I have to find a way to refine some Array gs, then we can arrange an Array Formation to seal up the entrance. An Yi, you already have the Spirit Stones with you, its better if you start cultivating first. Said Ning Cheng as he saw the fog outside getting more concentrated as every moment passed by, he was secretly d that he ended up making the right choice. If he was still in the fog, perhaps he would have already lost his sense of direction and would directly enter into the heart of the ind. An Yi also did not have any objections to the views of Ning Cheng, she knew that Ning Chengs cultivation needed a huge amount of Spirit Stones, the small amount of Spirit Stones in her possession were meaningless to him, it might be better if she used those for her own cultivation. Waiting for her to advance to a higher cultivation level, she would then help Ning Cheng in going out to look for Spirit Stones for his cultivation. Seeing An Yi starting to cultivate, Ning Cheng also took out some materials to start refining an Array g. He had never studied refining Array gs, but inside the books for the basic Array Formation Methods, it did have some simple introductions to it. After two days of exploration and a number of tests, Ning Cheng unexpectedly refined some Level 1 Array gs. Though they were still a bit rough, but these Array gs can be arranged to form a Level 1 Array Formation. But Ning Cheng was still very unsatisfied, he was somewhat regretting that he did not ask that Fang for several pieces of jade regarding refining. At this time, he was very clear, Refining and Array Formations were really closely linked. He was very clear that if he did not learn Refining, then he could not be a good Array Master. Thinking that Array Formations and Refining were very closely linked, Ning Cheng sighed, Refining was never easier than Alchemy i.e. refining pills of immortality. The Mysterious Yellow Bead could only help in correcting the Cultivation Methods, it actually cant help him in quickly master the skills of Alchemy and Refining. It appears that even if he mastered more theories of Array Formations, it was unlikely that he would be a powerful Array Master. After arranging the Level 1 Concealment Array Formation at the entrance of the cave, Ning Cheng began to take out the several pieces of Jade that he had obtained from Fang. On one of the two pieces of jade for the magical spells, Ning Cheng could not even see a single word. He did not know if his own cultivation level was too low for it or if the Jade Piece given to him by Fang was a fake. Ning Cheng again took out the four pieces of Jade that contained Cultivation Methods, the first one he was not able to see, the second one also he could not see anything, the same with the third one ....... Ning Cheng in his heart, felt that he was cheated by Fang, even if he was unable to see everything from the Jade Pieces, with the help of the Mysterious Yellow Bead he could correct the Cultivation Method, making it even more stronger that what the other average Qi Gathering cultivators were cultivating. But now he was unable to see even a single word, if that Fang did not lie to him, then what was this? With this view in mind, Ning Cheng picked up the fourth Jade Piece, but this time something changed, in the fourth piece Ning Cheng was actually able to read some things while sweeping it with his Spiritual Sense. Profound Grade [Wishful Wooden Tactics] ...... Words started to appear in front of Ning Cheng which were no problem to him, but the words that were behind them were bing fuzzier, all Ning Cheng could see was Qi Gathering into Essence Building, achieving True Condensation is true at this time, his mind started to hurt, and was unable to look again. However, Ning Cheng had an abnormal memory, as long as he had seen it once he could not simply forget about it. It was wood based Cultivation Method, Ning Cheng closed his eyes and carefully thought about this Cultivation Method again. After discovering this Cultivation Method, he wanted to see how much further ahead the corrected and modified Cultivation Method would be whenpared to the original. Ning Cheng did not want to cultivate this Cultivation Method, he was thinking about An Yi. At this time An Yi was cultivating, after Ning Cheng heard the words of Fang, he was thinking about An Yis Cultivation Method which seemed to be very general. He interrupted An Yi who was cultivating and asked, An Yi, what is your Spiritual Root? Also what Cultivation Method are you using for cultivation? An Yi whose eyes were closed just a moment before as she cultivated, opened her eyes and said, My Main Spiritual Root is of wood, and the Cultivation Method that I can use is Wooden Tactics. My master said, if I wanted to enter into the True Condensation Realm, then I had to find a new and powerful Cultivation Method. Only wood Cultivation Methods ah, it should be one of the lowest grade Cultivation Methods. Fang gave me this Cultivation Method, it is the Profound Grade [Wishful Wooden Tactics], I cannot use it, I am leaving it to you for practicing it. Ning Cheng said, as he put the Jade Piece in the hands of An Yi. Wishful Wooden Tactic? This should be a Profound Grade Cultivation Method, my master had not seen something like this, if that Fang had given this to you, then he really must be rich. An Yi just took a look at the Jade Piece, and eximed in surprise. Even if she did have a strongst name, receiving a Profound Grade Cultivation Method would really make anyone excited. She certainly knew how precious a Profound Grade Cultivation Method was, her master had said that even in a 3 Star Academy, they may not even have a few Profound Grade Cultivation Methods. Most Cultivation Methods are ssified into Ordinary Grade, followed by the True Grade, and then the higher ones were ssified as the Profound Grade. But after the Profound Grade there was another level of Cultivation Methods known as the Heaven Grade Cultivation Methods, but they were simply stuff of the legends. Even if An Yi did not have a powerful surname, receiving a Profound Grade Cultivation Method, she just couldnt wait to start reading and cultivating in it. Unfortunately, her Spiritual Senses strength was less than that of Ning Cheng, she basically could not see even a single word. Seeing An Yis facial expression, Ning Cheng understood that she could not see even a single word from the Jade Piece, and simply said, I will narrate it to you, you just write it down OK. An Yi knew that Ning Cheng was able to read the contents of the Jade Piece and did not feel strange about it, as she spent more time together with Ning Cheng, she was bing more and morefortable with the strange affairs of Ning Cheng. Although An Yis memory was quite good, but it was far from beingpared with Ning Chengs memory which was simply abnormal. Ning Cheng had already demonstrated it several times before, An Yi was fully confident that Ning Cheng would have alreadypletely memorised the Mysterious Wooden Wishful Tactics. Big Brother Ning, do you want me to change my Cultivation Method to Profound Grade [Wishful Wooden Tactics]. An Yi said after taking a look at the Profound Grade [Wishful Wooden Tactics] Cultivation Method, it was immediately clear that it was much more powerful than her own Wooden Tactics Cultivation Method, but she did not know how many times more powerful it was. Ning Cheng was the same as An Yi, they did not know that changing a Cultivation Method although it was dangerous, but because the Cultivation Method was much better, so of course they would definitely change to the new and powerful Cultivation Method, this type of thing was not nothing new. Ning Cheng was just about to approve An Yis words, when suddenly a delicate fragrance spread into the caveing from the entrance. Ning Cheng sniffed it a few times, and he suddenly felt refreshed. He subconsciously stood up, Whats that smell? It seems simr to the smell of a Spiritual Fruit, or something like that, I think...... It is the Golden Cicada Fruit. An Yi also stood up, Ning Cheng had read about it in the books of Spiritual Grasses that he had got from An Yi, Ning Cheng was able to tell that it was the smell of the Golden Cicada Fruit from that book, it was obvious that she would also know about it. Is it really the Golden Cicada Fruit? Ning Cheng said in a tone that was filled with excitement. Chapter 0036 – Entering The Heart Of Lansha Island Chapter 0036 C Entering The Heart Of Lansha Ind Is it really the Golden Cicada Fruit? Ning Cheng said in a tone that was brimming with excitement. He did not want to enter the heart of the Lansha Ind, not because he despised the Golden Cicada Fruit, but because he knows that him going there would be useless. His cultivation level was simply too low, he cannot simply go and grab the Golden Cicada Fruit. Moreover, he suspected that the fruit was not really the Golden Cicada Fruit. He could also clearly see that those students from the Clear Heart Academy were also going to the Lansha Ind for the Golden Cicada Fruit, and also the worst cultivation level among that group was Qi Gathering 6th Level, if he took something wouldnt the others be able to snatch the Golden Cicada Fruit from him easily? This is not right, An Yi, today does not seem to be the 15th of the month, how can we even smell the aroma of the Golden Cicada Fruit? Did that Taoist Pu deceive us by telling us those things? Ning Cheng said as he immediately remembered that Taoist Pu had mentioned that one could only enter the Array Formation only on the 15th of every month. Big Brother Ning....... An Yi was just about to call out to Ning Cheng, when she saw in his eyes what Ning Cheng wanted to do. If they did not smell the aroma of the Golden Cicada Fruit, Ning Cheng would certainly would not have moved, in his view, even if there was a Golden Cicada Fruit, its not that he could not get it, but rather the him now he might not even find the Golden Cicada Fruit. But now it was different, he could clearly smell the aroma of the Golden Cicada Fruit. This indicated that as long as he followed the direction from which the aroma originated, he could certainly arrive at where the was Golden Cicada Fruit. This issue could not be directly neglected by Ning Cheng, cultivating in this ce, if such a fruit like the Golden Cicada Fruit appeared in front of him, if he still remained unconcerned, then what kind of opportunity could he even speak of? Would he even get such an opportunity in the future? He would have to take this opportunity immediately. In the Ping Continent, the Golden Cicada Fruit was one of the most valuable kind of Spiritual Fruit, it can help a cultivator at the Qi Gathering Realm to sessfully advance to the True Condensation Realm. This kind of thing, how could he give up? If he gave up this time, maybe he would no longer see it. Whats more, perhaps the Golden Cicada Fruit here was ripe, since there was no one here, this was just the right moment to meet. An Yi, I decided to go look for the Golden Cicada Fruit, you stay here and wait for me. If I donte back, you wait till your Spirit Stones are exhausted, and then look for opportunities to leave this Lansha Ind. Ning Cheng said in a determined voice. Those words spoken by Ning Cheng, it surprised An Yi as she directly stood up from the ground on which she was cultivating and said, Big Brother Ning, I aming with you. If you went away, my stay here will be very lonely, I really am very afraid of those soul soldiers. Ning Cheng scratched his head and said, An Yi, I told you, I always wanted to return to my home. My hometown is very far away, and my cultivation is simply very poor and cannot go back. I do not know to what extent would I have to cultivate before I can go back, but I do not want to give up, therefore if there is any opportunity for me to advance in my cultivation level, I do not want to let it go. I know that the opportunity to go back is very slim, but no matter how slim the chances are, I will still try to go back. This time if we went to look for the Golden Cicada Fruit together, it would certainly be tough to escape, but I cannot give up this opportunity, you must go. You are different from me, your home is here, there is no need for you to apany me. Big Brother Ning, why do you have to go back to your hometown, isnt the Ping Continent not good? We can even go to the other continents. Before in the Mingot City, the people from the Clear Heart Academy said something about the enrolment examination of the Clear Heart Academy, we can even go to the Clear Heart Academy. Is it because your girlfriend is in your hometown, therefore you are so worried about it? An Yi asked carefully. Ning Cheng shook his head and said, It is not because of her, it is because of my sister. I have a younger sister, without me, she must be very worried. Unfortunately, I cannot go back to her. Therefore, I want to cultivate, so that one day when my cultivation level is high enough, I could go back. Big Brother Ning, I wille with you to find the Golden Cicada Fruit. said An Yi simply, after listening to his words, she did not give any reason or exnation again. Ning Cheng looked at An Yis determined and firm look, he knew that continuing to persuade her would be useless. He just helplessly nodded and said, All right, but you must always stick to me. With us two together, at least we will not be lonely if death approaches. Since Ning Cheng knew that until he cultivates to the Essence Building Realm, only then would he be able to leave the Ping Continent, as for returning to Earth, he knew that it was extremely uncertain if he could aplish it. But as he said, even if there was even the slightest chance, he did not want to give up on it. Dont give up, even if there was the slightest of chance, if he gave up that opportunity, he knew that there would not be a second one. Heavens had given him a chance, letting him have the Mysterious Yellow Bead. This Mysterious Yellow Bead went against the will of the heavens, but also needed arge amount of Spirit Stones to help him in cultivating, not only that, it also required a lot of Spiritual Grasses. He did not have any family, he even could not enter into the doors of any Academy, if he did not go desperately looking for various magical things, then who would help him? Besides, even if he wanted to be a disciple of an Academy, there would be no such Academy that would take him, who would give him heaps of Spirit Stones just to cultivate. ...... Ning Cheng led An Yi carefully to the entrance of the reef cave, and directly followed the direction from which the fragrant aroma of the Golden Cicada Fruit came. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, that indistinct foggy haze shrouded them once more, Ning Cheng could only vaguely see An Yi close to him. Ning Cheng grabbed An Yis hand, he knew that in this ce, if one of them was lost, then the two of them could never be able to be together again. Pata, Pata...... There was a sound of footsteps approaching, Ning Cheng and An Yi immediately stopped. The footsteps were getting close, but to the horror of Ning Cheng he could not even see anyones shadow, he could only hear the sounds of the footsteps nonstop. Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, it seems that whatever it was, was just a few meters in front of Ning Cheng. An Yi also subconsciously tightened her grip on Ning Cheng, she was just like Ning Cheng, she also could not see who those footsteps belonged to. A kind of cold wave hit them, in Ning Chengs eyes there suddenly appeared a bright and clear path, Ning Cheng was just about to pull An Yi onto the path, when the Mysterious Yellow Bead emitted a burst of Qi. This burst of Qi invaded Ning Cheng and the cloudy and cold feeling was instantly dissipated from his body, immediately even the patter sounds of the footsteps that Ning Cheng heard had also gone. Big Brother Ning, I just now saw a path a moment ago, but that path quickly disappeared, I think it was a fake. An Yi already understood that path she and Ning Cheng saw was a fake. Ning Cheng muttered, This Mingot Sea Area and the Lansha Ind are somewhat strange, before there were soul soldiers, then a man without a head, and now footsteps without people. We cannot go on like this, wait a minute. Ning Cheng slightly hesitated for a moment and then he said, ording to the map of Taoist Pu, I feel that the map that he gave us was real. An Yi just humphed and did not speak again. After Ning Cheng recalled the map of the Lansha Ind given to him by Taoist Pu, he immediately changed directions. He hadmitted the map of the Lansha Ind to his memory, in addition he could also use one or two Array Formations himself although only low level ones, so after taking just a few step he arrived to find himself in front of a small bend in the road. When Ning Cheng and An Yi found this curved path, the fog surrounding them also grew a bit lighter. Not only that, the aroma of the Golden Cicada Fruit was getting more concentrated as they moved forward. That map is right, let us hurry up. Ning Cheng said as he tightened his grip on An Yi, as he turned on the small curved path from time to time. Their speed was also getting faster and faster, they also did not encounter anything strange in their path. After an hour, Ning Cheng and An Yi stopped, in front of them there was no longer a path, the map given to them by Taoist Pu only led so far. There is no way ahead. Ning Cheng said as stared in front of the curved path that disappeared and frowned. He also knew that there was also a Killing Array Formation, unfortunately, that Array Formation was too advanced, currently he had no way to find the correct path. Big Brother Ning, the aroma of the Golden Cicada Fruit seems to have disappeared. An Yi said suddenly. Ning Cheng was paying careful attention to the path in front of him, at that time he did not pay attention to the aroma of the Golden Cicada Fruit, as An Yi said those words, before he could even react. He was not even aware that the aroma of the Golden Cicada Fruit had disappeared. An Yi, you stay close to me, I am going down this road, if it is not right, we wille back again. After Ning Cheng carefully exined to An Yi, he carefully advanced step by step into the curving path. Boom...... Ning Cheng had just taken a step forward on this path, when he heard a loud bang in front of him. At this point of time Ning Cheng was paying attention to everything very carefully, when he heard the first muffled boom, he wanted to turn back to the original path, but when he looked back at the path he found that it had already disappeared. It was as if he had teleported somewhere else, around him there were only weeds and rocks. An Yi...... Ning Cheng felt that something was wrong, and discovered that he did not know when An Yi had disappeared. Next to him there was a hazy fog all around, where did An Yis shadow go? Chapter 0037 – Blood Red Walls Of The Courtyard Chapter 0037 C Blood Red Walls Of The Courtyard Ning Cheng in his heart was suddenly shocked, if An Yi ended up lost in this ce then there was no way that he would be able to find her, it was really a narrow escape from death. Big Brother Ning...... A panic stricken voice sounded out, Ning Cheng on listening to it immediately knew that An Yi was safe. At this time Ning Cheng did not think if this sound was really false, and threw himself directly towards the direction of the voice. Immediately he saw the faint hazy shadow of the frightened An Yi, the distance between him and An Yi was less than 2 meters. Ning Cheng immediately stepped in front of An Yi and raised his hand to grab An Yis hand and said, Whats the matter, An Yi? I clearly was holding your hand before, how did youe here? The hand of An Yi that he was holding was icy cold, but when Ning Cheng caught her hand, the Qi from the mysterious Yellow Bead automatically cleansed the icy cold feeling out of her body. At this time, he did not have the time to think how An Yi had suddenly disappeared from his side, nor did he find anything suspicious. By rights, because of the strange disappearance, he should not have found her so easily. After An Yis hand was grabbed by Ning Cheng, her paleplexion finally turned a bit healthy, she subconsciously approached Ning Cheng, and just said, Just when I stepped onto the curved path, I found that you were not around. Then I saw a huge ck w grab me, and I was unable to speak. Just before the ck w was going to pull me, suddenly on my chest a dark yellow light emerged that blocked that jet ck w, and then I screamed out. A dark yellow light emerged from your chest? Ning Cheng immediately remembered that just before her master died, she had given An Yi a yellow Jade Pendant, that jade pendant was hanging on An Yis chest. Was it that jade pendant that protected An Yi? Regardless of if it was true or not, this ce was somewhat strange, Ning Cheng took out a string and tied it to his and An Yis wrists, connecting them together, An Yi, you and I are going to walk side by side, so that I can avoid not seeing you. This is ...... Ning Cheng was just speaking to An Yi, when he was stunned by the scene in front of him. In front of An Yi and him appeared a towering blood red wall, the wall seemed to be endless, there was simply no end to it in sight. As to what was on the other side of the wall, it couldnt be seen. At this point he and An Yi were in front of a door on the wall directly on the path paved with blue stones that they were walking on. This blue stone paved path lead directly to the door on the blood red wall. The front of the door on the walls was utched. For a long time, the aroma of the Golden Cicada Fruit had not appeared, about this Ning Cheng was very clear, but now the aroma of the Golden Cicada Fruit wasing out from the other side of the wall through the utched door. Big Brother Ning, the Golden Cicada Fruit seems to be on the other side of the red wall, it seems that this big wall was actually built by the seniors who lived here? An Yi whispered in the ear of Ning Cheng. This is not right...... Ning Cheng was in his mind very clear, he discovered that he could clearly see the front courtyard clearly, he could even see the path leading to it clearly. However, in his peripheral vision, and also behind him, it waspletely fuzzy. Ning Cheng forced his Qi to circte in his body, he did not cultivate the Profound Grade [Wishful Wooden Tactics], but rather he cultivated his ns modified Cultivation Method, when the Qi of a cultivator is already powerful enough, he would be able to control his Qi actively, and can make his eyes to see more clearly. At this point he was forcing his Qi to circte in his body, and wanted to see if he could see the things around him more clearly. In the next moment, a 1 meter of area around him appeared a bit fuzzy within his consciousness. This was the result of using his Spiritual Sense? Ning Cheng had just thought of bringing his Spiritual Sense to the outside, and was already able to see around one meter around him, before it disappeared once again. Are we going in? An Yi whispered, she suddenly did not want to enter those bloody red walls, she felt that those bloody red walls were a bit strange. Ning Cheng waved his hand, and once more forced his Spiritual Sense out of his body, this time he could see an area that was slightlyrger than before, his viewing area seemed to have been increased to 1.5 meters. A vague vision of a person appeared within his Spiritual Sense, this figure seemed to be staring at him and An Yi, and seemed to be lifeless. Ning Cheng was shocked, he did not think of anything, and sent out a me Edge towards it chopping it into two. After he heard a sharp cry, the shadowy figure in front of Ning Cheng disappeared without a trace because of Ning Chengs me Edge. Ning Cheng was relieved, although these forms were unable to be perceived by ones eyespletely, but once they were perceived by his Spiritual Sense, as long as he could throw out a me Edge, it could be resolved. From this, he found that using ones Spiritual Sense made one much more powerful than just using ones eye. At this moment Ning Cheng made a firm resolve, when he was cultivating, he must not neglect cultivating and strengthening his Spiritual Sense. Whats going on? Big Brother Ning? An Yi asked as she did not understand why Ning Cheng threw out a me Edge suddenly, but the sharp cry that she had heard was crystal clear. Ning Cheng waved his hand again, and cast out his Spiritual Sense once again. This time several shadowy figures appeared within his Spiritual Sense, among a few of those figures Ning Cheng could even feel a breath of life emanating from them. He immediately knew that these few figures and the others were different, it seemed that there were more people in this ce that just them. Ning Cheng hurriedly took An Yi and retreated back a few step, hiding in a patch of tall grass behind them. When those figures arrived from the curved path in front of the blood red walls of the courtyard in front of the path, Ning Cheng could see them clearly. There were a total of eight people, of these eight people, Ning Cheng even knew four of them. Taoist Pu, Feng Fei Zhang, Tian Fei and Miao Xiu Ming. After the eight people arrived from the curved road, they immediately saw the blood red walls, but at the same time they also noticed that the door was ajar. Thats right, this is definitely the aroma of the Golden Cicada Fruit, it really is here, it also seems that this wall was built around it. If I had not sniffed the aroma, I was thinking that we were going in the wrong way. One of the Qi Gathering 3rd Level cultivator who had just stepped off from the curved path and had narrow slit like eyes, called out in surprise. Taoist Pu just said with a sneer, Xue Sinian, do not me me for not reminding you. Even if this ce was to somehow disappear, it would be a normal thing, we eight people arrived here to break the Array Formation by working together, otherwise you probably would have disappeared a long time ago. Yes Yes, what Brother Pu said was right, if not for the map for the Array Formation provided by Brother Pu, we would not have been able toe here. Brother Pus warning, I have already taken it to heart. That slit eyed cultivator thought that this Taoist Pu wanted to reaffirm his role in the group, and hurriedly repeated those words many times. Taoist Pu also did not bother to remind the guy about his role in breaking the Array Formation, it seems that the Array gs Identifiers and the Array Formation path were inexplicably missing. Fortunately, now that they have reached the blood red wall in front of them, even if the g Identifiers was lost, the problem would not be too great. Brother Xue, I would like to remind you that you not only y a role in this Array Formation, but also remind you that you should not lose your me character. Feng Fei Zhang understood the meaning of Taoist Pu. Taoist Pu did not continue to exin, and just said, After we enter through the blood red walls of the courtyard through the door, do not rush inside, listen to my instructions, each of us eight people will upy a corner, and we will then proceed to break open the Defensive Array Formation around the Golden Cicada Fruit Tree. Of Course, we will listen to your instructions of Brother Pu, Brother Pu just say the word. Miao Xiu Ming immediately echoed out, indicating the he insisted on standing on Taoist Pus side. Taoist Pu nodded and said, There are already a lot of people who, by now, have gotten hold of the Lansha Inds map, but they think that they can onlye here on the 15th of every month. What they absolutely do not know, is that the Golden Cicada Fruit matures rapidly by the 10th. Unfortunately, many of them do not have the power to break the Array Formation and thus would fail, even if they knew about it, they would onlye here to die. Today is the 9th day, it is exactly the time that suits us to break the Array Formation, and then we can take the Golden Cicada Fruit away. Ning Cheng in his heart was cursing Taoist Pu for being so shameless, as he himself said that they could only arrive on the 15th, but fortunately, he arrived at the Lansha Ind first. And moreover this guy even had the me mark of the Talisman, but did not disclose it to the other. If not for him, An Yi would have been one of his victims and would have almost disappeared. Taoist Pu led the other people to the front of the slightly open door, and pushed it open carefully. The slightly opened door gave out a loud squeak sound, it was not exactly loud but it seemed to pierce through and grab at their hearts making them feel ufortable. Looking at the eight people entering the open door from the side, Ning Cheng dispelled the idea of going in behind them. They had not yet entered the blood red walls, but have already seen so many strange and weird things, once they went inside, would that even be good? It was not that he was afraid of getting into trouble, but because his cultivation was very poor, only at the Qi Gathering 4th Level. The Golden Cicada Fruit was definitely good, but it was also possible that he would have to fight for his life in the present situation, it was not worthwhile to gamble with his life in that manner. Ning Cheng did not n to go, since the Golden Cicada Fruit was in front of him, he was not the kind of person who would be courteous towards such a shameless person. Ning Cheng already vaguely felt that there were some problems with that Taoist Pu, even though the map and the Array Formation Breaking Methods were provided by Taoist Pu, and even proposing to divide the things equally, he believed that this Taoist Pu was not this kind of a ssy guy. But now with those eight people inside, he could not think of how Taoist Pu would use the other seven for his own purpose. Ning Cheng also did not follow them inside for two reasons, one was he did not know how to get out of that ce, and the other was he wanted to kill that Taoist Pu. Before in the Beast Carriage, that Taoist Pu used the others to ckmail him into joining his team, if he did not do something about this hatred, then this was not Ning Cheng. Moreover, if Taoist Pu came out from the inside of the blood red walls, then it would also mean that he would have obtained some good stuff. ...... Waiting for the time to pass, on the first day Ning Cheng and An Yi could only hear an intermittent dull thumping sounding from the inside of the dark red walls. At the start, the interval between the dull thumping sounds was very short, but as the time passed the interval between the dull thumping sounds was getting longer and longer while the sound was getting weaker and weaker. The next day, Ning Cheng and An Yi could not hear even half a sounding from inside, the eight people who entered the blood red walls, it was as if mud falling into the sea, it waspletely lifeless without any sound. Ning Cheng did not have to confidence to continue to stay there for longer periods of time, if he continued to stay there, maybe in a few days, many people would start to reach the ind. Moreover, he had a strange and vague feeling that this fog seemed to have a pair of eyes staring at him and An Yi which made him very ufortable. Big Brother Ning, I am always feeling that someone is calling for me, wanting me to enter the blood red walls. If you did not hold onto me, I am afraid I wouldnt be able to resist it. An Yi whispered into Ning Chengs ear. Ning Cheng was about to speak, when the door in the blood red wall again sent out a squeak, as Taoist Pu crazily rushed out from the inside. This time that Taoist Pu had dishevelled look on him, what happened to his calm appearance from before? Chapter 0038 – Unexpected Wealth Chapter 0038 C Unexpected Wealth Although Taoist Pu looked dishevelled, but the excitement in his eyes was difficult to conceal. As he crazily fled towards Ning Cheng, he simply did not pay any attention to Ning Cheng and An Yi who were hiding in front of him. There was a strong and rich Qiing from the bag he was escaping with, this kind of Qi was too familiar with Ning Cheng, it was the Qi contained in the Spirit Stones. Ning Cheng was already waiting for Taoist Pu for a long time, it was not the first time that he allowed An Yi to follow him immediately. At the same time, Ning Cheng could not give up the thought of advancing in his cultivation, he immediately let his Spiritual Sense to wrap around Taoist Pus body. Prior to this, Ning Cheng did not really look down on Taoist Pu. But when his Spiritual Sense just nced past Taoist Pu, his heart immediately tightened. This Taoist Pu looked like he was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level, but in fact he was clearly at the Qi Gathering 7th Level. He did not know where this person came from, that he would even have such a formidable Concealment Technique with him, if it was before, Ning Cheng would not even think that the person in front of him was actually at Qi Gathering 7th Level. He was already in the Late Stages of the Qi Gathering 7th Level, this guy really hid it very well. Knowing that this Taoist Pu was already at the Qi Gathering 7th Level, Ning Cheng was no longer as calm as before, he was certain that once Taoist Pu heads into the fog, he would not be able to find him. At this point there was no reason for Taoist Pu to notice him, this Taoist Pu was not able to detect his Spiritual Sense, as he did not seem to have any idea that there were people who were waiting specifically for him in his path. He could not let this guy escape, thought Ning Cheng as he took out the Flying Sword without any hesitation, suddenly he stepped forward, and with the Flying Sword in his hand he decisively swept out with it. This Taoist Pu had been on this path of the Lansha Ind for more than a few dozen times already, and he was very clear that although it looks very scary, in fact, as long as one was proficient in Array Formations, he would not be targeted by the evil spirits who were always eying the path. On course, the prerequisite was that they did not enter the blood red walls, and also did not go into the courtyard behind the blood red walls. But this Taoist Pu was highly confident in himself, that coupled with his extremely careful nature, in addition to his superior cultivation level, he already surpassed Ning Cheng. When he noticed that the tip of the Flying Sword was already approaching him, he suddenly twisted his body. Puff...... the Sword Light shed and blood spurted out, that Taoist Pu did not think that he would not be able to evade Ning Chengs strike. That Flying Sword of Ning Cheng almost directly cut his waist in half, although that wound was not enough to kill him, but it severely injured him. An Yi had been together with Ning Cheng for a long time now, and since Ning Cheng even protected and sheltered her for several days in the sea, she had already be ustomed to how Ning Cheng did things. Almost in the next moment, she also sent out three Wind Edges, simultaneously cutting the string that tied her to Ning Cheng with her skill. Taoist Pu had barely escaped the fatal Flying Sword strike from Ning Cheng, when An Yis Wind Edges arrived and detonated on him. But these just gave Taoist Pu a few minor injuries, other than the near fatal injury from Ning Cheng, it was still not enough to kill him. Taoist Pu staggered for a few steps and stopped, at this time Ning Cheng found out, that he and Taoist Pu hade out from the fog, and onto the curved path. As to which curved that he arrived on, Ning Cheng did not care about it. He guessed that since the Taoist Pu also wanted to escape, so he would definitely choose the path that would lead to the exit. It is you...... Taoist Pu said as he forcefully suppressed his injuries and turned back to see Ning Cheng carrying the Flying Sword in his arms. Ning Cheng did not answer, and once again brought up the Flying Sword and swept towards him with it, while simultaneously throwing out several me Edges. Striking when the iron was hot, that Taoist Pu was already a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 7th Level, if he let him catch his breath, then both him and An Yi would be in some serious trouble. Taoist Pus face immediately turned pale, he saw that Ning Cheng did not even say a word when he continued with his attack, he understood that Ning Cheng undoubtedly wanted to kill him, as such idle chatter would not help him. Almost at the same time, he drew out a sickle. And swept away with it towards Ning Chengs Flying Sword that had arrived in front of him. He was not willing, he clearly understood why Ning Cheng wanted to kill him. Before in the beast carriage, if Ning Cheng had dared to disagree to join his team, so as to not leak the secret information, Ning Cheng would have been killed by his hands. He was not willing; he had just advanced to the Qi Gathering 7th Level beforeing to the Lansha Ind. This time he also had obtained a massive quantity of extremely precious Spirit Stones, to advance to the True Condensation Realm was just an issue of time for him. But at this crucial point, he was actually ambushed by Ning Cheng. He did not understand how Ning Cheng could be safe and sound in Lansha Ind, there were both Illusionary Array Formations and real evil spirits here, there were even some demonic soul soldiers. Without knowing about the intricacies of the Array Formation around here, even if one was a cultivator in the Essence Building Realm, he would not be able to do as he pleased. He concluded that Ning Cheng definitely knew about the Array Formations around here, otherwise how could he hide here for that many days and even n an ambush against him here, but wasnt even discovered by the evil spirits? Weng a sound was heard, and the Sword Light was scattered, Ning Cheng just took a few steps back, but Ning Cheng did not stay still, and the Flying Sword in his hands once again turned into a long Sword Light. You unexpectedly even have an Artefact ...... This time Taoist Pu realized his mistake, it seemed that in Ning Chengs hand was high quality Artefact. Although he was injured before, but he did not panic, he had the cultivation of Qi Gathering 7th Level, even if he was injured, he thought that he could use the Artefact in his hands to easily kill and behead Ning Cheng and An Yi. But now that he confirmed that Ning Cheng also was using an Artefact, one which was of even better quality than the Artefact in his hands, that Taoist Pus eyes were glinting with a hint of panic. Because he felt that, Ning Chengs cultivation did not seem to be that of an ordinary Qi Gathering 4th Level. At this time An Yi once more threw out several Wing Edges towards him, Taoist Pu had to avoid An Yis Wind Edges, but simultaneously the Sword Light from Ning Cheng once again reached him. Taoist Pu wanted to use the sickle Artefact in his hand to block it again, but this time when he really tried to block it, he felt a sharp pain from his waist, he had notpletely stopped the bleeding from the previous wound when it started spraying blood again. The speed of his sickle immediately slowed down a beat, but at this time the Sword Light from Ning Cheng already arrived at his side. The Sword Light hit his shoulder from the side, immediately splitting him down to his waist, into two parts, this Taoist Pu was still extremely unwilling to back down even when dying. Ning Cheng gasped for breath, and first rushed to pick up the package that Taoist Pu had and threw it into his Storage Bag behind him, and then sent out a fireball to turn Taoist Pu into ash, after doing all this he said to An Yi, An Yi, we have to run, I estimate that people from the Mingot City must be about to arrive. After the two ran all the way along the curved path, in just less than half an hour, the two once again saw the reef at the seashore. This was not the ce were the two had entered the Lansha Ind before, but it was actually the other side of the ind. There was a boat that was not very big on its side, Ning Cheng felt happy in his heart, he knew that this boat definitely belonged to Taoist Pu and his group. There were also a bunch of materials from the sea beasts piled up in a heap on the ships bow, these materials must have been left here by Taoist Pu and group to take back. Ning Cheng was not very clear about it, whether Taoist Pu was good or evil, he was a cultivator in the Qi Gathering Realm, why would he pay such attention to materials from ordinary sea beasts? Those materials from the sea beasts, Ning Cheng did not discard them, but pushed them the side, and then quickly set sail and left the Lansha Ind. After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, with Ning Cheng and An Yi controlling the wooden boat, they had finally left the Lansha Ind behind in dust. Only until after that did An Yi heaved a sigh and said, Big Brother Ning, my heart was constantly being suppressed and filled with panic when we were on the ind, it always gave me a very bad feeling. Ning Cheng also nodded, I am the same as you, I always felt that the ind was definitely not simple as that. In the future, when our cultivation levels are high enough, we cane again to look at it. An Yi, your pendant should also be a good weapon, you have to carefully take care of it, it should not be found by others. An Yi also gave a simple reply, I know. Returning to the sea once again, Ning Cheng first took out the cloth package from inside the Storage Bag, he wanted to look at his spoils from the battle. Opening the cloth package, a dazzling white light made Ning Cheng surprised. There was a small pile of at least 4 to 5 hundred of brightly glittering stones. Moreover, when he had previously acquired the Spirit Stones, some of the Spirit Stones were less dazzling. However, this did not affect his cultivation. An Yi, we became rich, this really is an unexpected wealth. Ning Cheng said with joy. What hecked the most was Spirit Stones, but now he already had nearly 500 hundred Spirit Stones, if he required 100 Spirit Stones to advance a level, then maybe with all these Spirit Stones he may be able to reach the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm. Ning Cheng was just about to share the Spirit Stones with An Yi, when she stopped him from doing it and said, Big Brother Ning, the Spirit Stones that you gave mest time have still not run out. Moreover, you require a lot of Spirit Stones for your cultivation, if I do run out, I will ask you again. Ning Cheng also thought so, anyway An Yi always followed him, so it was all the same. After putting away the Spirit Stones, Ning Cheng found a Jade Box in the bottom of the cloth bag. When he opened the Jade Box, a familiar aroma greeted him. Golden Cicada Fruit...... Ning Cheng and An Yi both simultaneously cried out in surprise. In the Jade Box in Ning Chengs hands, was lying a green fruit with a golden sheen, this fruit was in the shape of two wings, except these wings looked like they were made of pure white silk. No wonder the fruit was called a Cicada Fruit, Ning Cheng thought as he quickly closed the jade cover. That Taoist Pu really has a big mouth, that bastard said a lot about the Golden Cicada Fruit, and now I see this. After Ning Cheng obtained the Golden Cicada Fruit, in his heart he was d that he did not work with that guy. Although they were rushing into the sea, Ning Cheng in his heart was very satisfied, at least he had a great harvest. The only regret that he had was, there was no way for them to save Feng Fei Zhang, who had helped them earlier. He knew that with his ability, his escape from the Lansha Ind was purely based on luck, wanting to save Feng Fei Zhang, his strength was simply too poor to aplish it. After being happy for a while, Ning Cheng and An Yi quickly became lost. In this immense sea, they simply did not know which direction to go in. The sky over the Mingot Sea was cloudy all year long, so they could not discern any directional signs. As a few days passed by, Ning Cheng was growing anxious in his heart. He not only could not even find the shore of the Mingot Sea, but he even could not find a small ind. Big Brother Ning, a ship ising. An Yi knew that Ning Cheng was in a bit of hurry, when Ning Cheng saw the ship, he immediately knew that this ship wasing from the direction from which they came. Chapter 0039 – Where To Go Chapter 0039 C Where To Go When Ning Cheng saw the shiping over, he was surprised in his heart. He was in an urgent need to find another human to find his bearings, but at the same time, was afraid to be seen by others. He had already offended two big forces of the Mingot City, he felt that these ships in the Mingot Sea were definitely rted to the Mingot City. Once anyone recognized Ning Cheng and An Yi, the result would definitely not be good. In just a moment, the ship had already arrived close to Ning Chengs boat. Ha Ha, I did not think that in this vast and endless Mingot Sea, I would be able to meet Brother Ning and his cousin, it really was destined. A heartyughter was transmitted. Ning Cheng was able to immediately recognize the person who this voice belonged to, it was the same person who had helped him back in the Mingot City, Le Bohong. For Le Bohong to appear here, he simply did not need to think about it, he certainly knew that they wereing back from the Lansha Ind, but he did not know how their harvest went. Brother Le, I am truly happy to see you, it really seemed to be predestined for us to meet again. Ning Cheng said while he smiled and cupped his fists towards them. But in his heart he was feeling a bit frustrated, he knew that this Bohong guy would definitely ask him what he hade here to do, how should he answer? If he said that he wasing back from the Lansha Ind, it would just sound idiotic. Sure enough Le Bohong immediately asked, Brother Ning sure has courage, you even dared to kill Mingot Citys Miu Wen Hong, I really admire you. Moreover, Brother Ning you even dare to stay near the Mingot Seas shore, you really are quite bold. When Ning Cheng saw that Le Bohongs eyes swept over the pile of materials from the sea beasts, he instantly understood why Taoist Pu had piled up so much material from the sea beasts here. In his heart, he couldnt help but admire Taoist Pu,pared to his experience, it was far less whenpared to Taoist Pu. Taoist Pu had piled all these materials from the sea beasts, so that he could clearly use it as an excuse for roaming the sea. After calming his heart a bit Ning Cheng looked a bit dull and said, Miu Wen Hong went too far, if I did not have an advanced level thunder and lightning Talisman, me and my cousin would have been killed by that person. Killing this man, it was only due to self-defence. Self-defence? Le Bohong was trying to understand the meaning behind the words of Ning Cheng, but he immediately agreed and said, Good thing that Brother Ning killed him, if this kind of two-piece shit had tried to bump into me, I would also not hesitate to kill him. Ning Cheng in his heart was speechless, you clearly hade from the Clear Heart Academy, if you had killed Miu Wen Hong, you certainly would not have any problems. Le Bohong did not seem to think about his own background, after he said that one sentence, he stared at Ning Cheng and the pile of sea beasts materials on the bow of the boat and said, Brother Ning, you are already at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, these materials from the sea beasts can only be exchanged for some gold at best. Although you made a lot, but because of your cultivation level it would not be of much help to you. Ning Cheng just pretended to be helpless and said, How could I not know about these, me and my cousin are just two scattered cultivators that do not have any backing, our cultivations are also poor, besides collecting the materials from the sea beasts in the Mingot Sea, we really have nowhere to go. Le Bohong listened to Ning Chengs words and then said, Brother Ning, if you believe in my words, you might as welle with me to my Academy to have a look at it. Even if Brother Ning could not enter the Clear Heart Academy as a student, you could stille to work at our Academy, living here in the Mingot Sea waters doing manualbour is just too much. Moreover, Brother Ning you already have thoroughly offended the Mingot Citys Wolf Pce, if you want to survive in this neighbourhood with your cousin, it will be somewhat difficult. Ning Cheng saw that this Le Bohong was sweeping his eyes over An Yis body, how could he not know his thoughts. But what he said was indeed right, he could not continue to stay in the Mingot waters for a long time. What Brother Le said is right, before Brother Le exined to me that the Clear Heart Academy was going to recruit students from the entire Ping Continent, the reason I was collecting these materials from the sea beasts, was precisely in order to gather enough travel expenses to go to the Clear Heart Academy. Ning Cheng said these words to Le Bohong. Le Bohong looked at Ning Cheng sternly and said, Brother Ning, if I may say so frankly. If Brother Ning intends to rely only on gold coins as travel expenses to go to the Clear Heart Academy, even if you immediately set of, you would hardly be able to arrive at the Clear Heart Academy in a year. Two weekster, there is an airship that will pass by Mingot City. We are going to take this airship back to the Clear Heart Academy. Brother Ning if you do not mind, we can go together. Ning Cheng was very moved in his heart, but he just shook his head and said immediately, I have already offended two powerful forces of the Mingot City, and even if I arrive at the airship passing through the Mingot City, I do not have enough gold coins to pay for it. Le Bohongughed, Brother Ning, you shoulde sit in this airship, this airship belongs to the category ofrge airship Type Artefacts, they do not ept gold coins. At worst they ept Qi Gathering Stones for short distances, but for long distances, they will not ept Qi Gathering Stones, but what they require is Low Grade Spirit Stones. Low Grade Spirit Stones? Ning Cheng repeated those words, with a shock on his face. The woman standing behind Le Bohong suddenly said, Rather that stopping and speaking in the sea, we might as well speak about it on our ship. Ning Cheng, although did not know the name of that woman, but Ning Cheng had seen them in the Mingot City. Qi Gathering 7th Level, ording to the badge on her chest, she should also be from the Clear Heart Academy. Le Bohong after listening to the words from the woman, looked at Ning Cheng apologetically and said, Brother Ning, let me introduce you, this here is Junior Apprentice Sister Lu Xue. He then pointed to the other two men and said, These two are Yin Wen Guang and He Xu Xiang, this time the four of us hade out together to gain experience, this time we have been already in the Mingot waters for many days, and we were just going back. What Junior Apprentice Sister Lu Xue said was true, Brother Ning why dont you abandon your boat ande join us and our peers. Have to say this Le Bohong spoke in a very gracious manner, telling Ning Cheng to abandon his boat, what he wanted to say was that his boat was worthless, might as well abandon it. This time Ning Cheng did not hesitate, and gave An Yi a meaningful look, taking out the cloth bag from the cabin, he led An Yi to board Le Bohongs ship. Now Ning Chengs boat did not have anyone to control it, and instantly it and Le Bohongs ship separated from each other as it disappeared into the boundless sea. Seeing Ning Cheng abandoning his ship and travelling together with hispanions, Le Bohong said with enthusiasm, From the Mingot City to travel to the Calm Heart Academy is two Spirit Stones per person, Brother Ning do you have enough Spirit Stones...... Ning Cheng knew that Le Bohong wanted to say something, but he quickly waved his hand and said, I do have a knife, Brother Le can you help me see how much is it worth? If it would be enough for our travel expenses. While speaking, Ning Cheng already took out a knife that was wrapped in the cloth. Before Feng Fei Zhang helped him with the travel expenses of the beast carriage, he still owed Feng Fei Zhang a favour, but he also knew that he would not be able to repay it now. At this point of time Ning Cheng did not want to owe favours to other people for no reason. Hey, Brother Ning also has a low grade Artefact? Le Bohong saw Ning Cheng take out the knife, he was immediately startled and said those words. But he immediately guessed that, this Artefact must be of Miu Wen Hong. I will give you four pieces of Spirit Stones for this knife. That person, Lu Xue, who had invited them before, immediately said to Ning Cheng and An Yi. Ning Cheng listened to Lu Xues words, and he immediately knew that this knife was probably not worth four Spirit Stones, Lu Xue thought that she could help them in this way. Even if he knew that Lu Xue wanted to help them, Ning Cheng gave the knife to Lu Xue and said, Thank you Senior Sister Apprentice Lu, you do not have to give those Spirit Stones to me, as long as when the timees, Elder Sister Lu please help us pay the fare once for us. Seeing Ning Cheng not taking advantage of Le Bohong, many peoples view about Ning Cheng changed. Ning Cheng also introduced An Yi, and soon the people began to warm up to them, and starting talking in a familiar way. Ning Cheng also learned from Le Bohong that they had truly came back from the Lansha Ind, this time there were hundreds of cultivators going to the Lansha Ind, and there were even cultivators who were in the Qi Gathering 1st and 2nd Level. Le Bohong and the few people who had a set of high level defensive Array Formations, were lucky to survive the robberies unharmed. However, there were several people who did not want continue towards the heart of the ind, and immediately returned. I am certain, that the news of the Golden Cicada Fruit was actually made up by the people. A man with dusky skin who was introduced as Yin Wen Guang said with some indignation. Ning Cheng looked puzzled and asked, Why does Brother Yin has such an affirmation? Did nobody who entered the Lansha Ind not obtained the Golden Cicada Fruit? Ning Cheng certainly knew that the Lansha Ind did contain the Golden Cicada Fruit, otherwise it would be impossible for Taoist Pu to obtain this kind of a thing. Le Bohong showed a faint smile: Brother Ning may not know about it, but Wen Guang is from the Pill Division of the Clear Heart Academy, he specialises in a variety of Medicinal Solutions, and is also known to concoct Elixirs, so Wen Guang could definitely say those words with a certain assurance. Ning Cheng already knew what Medical Solutions were, and wasparing the Clear Heart Academy with the Universities back on Earth, it seems that even in this world, the Academies also had various other subjects. That Wen Guang also was not modest, and said directly, After the Golden Cicada Fruit matures, it will have an extremely thick aroma of a Spiritual Fruit, the entire Lansha Ind is within the range of that aroma, if there was actually a Golden Cicada Fruit, I would have surely smelt the aroma already. After we entered the ind, there was not even the slightest hint of the aroma of the Golden Cicada Fruit, I immediately knew that the Lansha Ind should have been a scam. Brother Le, since the Clear Heart Academy has the Pill Division, does it also have other divisions like the Refining Division and the Array Formation Division? Ning Cheng was not willing to continue the topic of Lansha Ind, but he was definitely more interested in the different Divisions of the Clear Heart Academy. Le Bohong shook his head and said, That is not the case, I heard that only in the 6 Star and above Academies will they have such Divisions. The Clear Heart Academy does not have this kind of strength, besides the Pill Division, the rest are just mixtures of each other. They are based solely on cultivation and a few other points, of course, if there was an exceptional student with good qualifications, the teachers would coach them separately. Once an Apprentice Disciple is selected by a teacher, then he could have more cultivation resources. Ning Cheng suddenly asked, Your cultivations are already high, can it be said that you all are also individual Apprentice Disciples too? Le Bohong just chuckled and said, Brother Ning, we are just cultivators of the Qi Gathering Realm, it really is not much, with my age and cultivation of the Qi Gathering Realm, I can only be described as an above average disciple, I can barely even enter the core sses with my qualification. Ning Cheng was thinking that if it was like this in a 3 Star Academy, then what about the 5 Star Academy that Ji Luo Fei went to, after he heard the words of Le Bohong, Ning Cheng was really surprised. Listening to Le Bohongs words meaning, it seemed that in the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy students of the Late Stage Qi Gathering Realm were reallymonce, it seems that that there were even many students with the cultivation in the True Condensation Realm studying there. Seeing Ning Cheng surprised, Le Bohong suddenly asked, Brother Ning you look quite young, but you already are at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, presumably your qualifications are not bad, right? Ning Cheng said with a wry smile, I only have a three-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, I was only able to advance to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, because I luckily came across 5 pieces of a good quality Qi Gathering Pills by chance thats all. If Le Bohong asked about the origins of it, Ning Cheng could just push it onto the Ji Luo Feis aunt and use her as a shield. After hearing the words of Ning Cheng, the other people with Le Bohong just looked at each other, in their view, if Ning Cheng could advance to the Qi Gathering 4th Level in such a poor environment, then his Spiritual Root was certainly not bad. But they did not think that he would merely have a three-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, with such a Spiritual Root it was just not worth for them to make friends with him. Chapter 0040 – Return To Mingot City Chapter 0040 C Return To Mingot City Not to mention that Ning Cheng used 5 Qi Gathering Pills in order to advance to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, showing the extent of his Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, it was simply horrible. Ning Cheng, your Spiritual Root is so poor, why didnt you give those Qi Gathering Pills to your cousin An Yi? Is your cousins Spiritual Roots also as bad as yours? Lu Xue directly called out using Ning Chengs name. Ning Cheng did not mind it, in this world this was the reality. His Spiritual Root is of a poor quality; it was apparent that he had no future. Letting cultivators, who were already at Qi Gathering 7th Level, call him Brother Ning, it was just not realistic. Anyone would look down on such a rtionship, in fact, just as the saying goes birds of the same feather flock together, these words can be applicable anywhere. He and Le Bohong, Lu Xue and the rest were simply not in the same group. Now that Lu Xue asked about An Yi, Ning Cheng quickly said, My cousin has a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root, its long way out whenpared to my own. But when she was young, she went away with her master, and stayed with her till her master passed away, only then did I find her. At that time, my Qi Gathering Pills were already finished. If An Yis Spiritual Root was bad, maybe Le Bohong and his people would not take them to the Clear Heart Academy. They may even leave him and his cousin in the Mingot waters or try something worse with them, he was really not sure if he, Ning Cheng, could even escape being killed by the several forces of the Mingot City. Junior Apprentice Sister An Yi, do you really have a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root? Lu Xues eyes lit up and immediately asked. It was not only Lu Xues eyes that were shining brightly, even the other people were looking at An Yi with envious looks. Having a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root, one could not only easily enter the Clear Heart Academy, but even a teacher would also ept her to mentor her as her Master. An Yi nodded, Yes, I do have a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root. Learning that An Yi did indeed have a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root, Le Bohong and the others suddenly became more enthusiastic, but rather their enthusiasm had shifted from Ning Cheng, and onto An Yi. Ning Cheng did not mind it, with her having a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root, he knew that it was the right and proper thing to do. ...... Three dayster Ning Cheng followed Le Bohong and the several people to return to the Mingot City once more. This was Ning Chengs second visit to the Mingot City, the first time he hade here, he had stayed there for less than half an hour, before he had to leave. This time he was absolutely helpless, if he did not follow Le Bohong and the others, he did not know what the people from the Clear Heart Academy would do to them. Mingot City remained the same, but at the entrance of the Mingot City was a short figure, but he was extremely fierce looking. Ning Cheng, that person is called Miu Li Hu, and is one of the big shots of the Wolf Pce, the one you killed, Miu Wen Hong, was his son, I heard that this person covers his shorings extremely closely. You do not need to worry, you are now a person of the Clear Heart Academy, how could he even hurt you. Le Bohong after knowing that Ning Cheng only had a Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, in addition to his age being older than Ning Cheng, he no longer called him as Brother Ning. However, he was still fairly polite, except for the change in addressing him, he did not change anything else, as he did not know if Ning Cheng and An Yi had a deep rtionship. Without even Le Bohong speaking those words to him, Ning Cheng could already feel that that short guy was staring at him with his eyes filled with Killing Intent. Le Bohong said that this person was Miu Wen Hongs father, evidently he was not wrong about it. Was it you who killed my son Wen Hong? Miu Li Hu still held back his anger in front of Le Bohong, but looked at Ning Cheng with a ruthless and severe stare and asked. Ning Chengs heart sank, he felt that Miu Li Hu simply did not put Le Bohong and the others in his eyes. Moreover, Miu Li Hus cultivation level, he could not see through it. Since he could not see through his cultivation level, it was obvious that Miu Li Hu was, without a doubt, a cultivator in the True Condensation Realm. Who is your son? Ning Cheng calmly said, while simultaneously thinking in his heart, that if Le Bohong did not help him, what should he do? My son is Miu Wen Hong, who chased after you, but did note back, wasnt it you who killed my child? You will leave your head behind in order to pay homage to my child now. Miu Li Hu unceremoniously said, as he stepped forward, and moved his hands towards Ning Cheng. Le Bohong did not think that Miu Li Hu would not even look him in the eyes, and even step forward, his face sank and said, Miu Li Hu, what do you mean by that? Do you not even keep the Clear Heart Academy in your eyes? Miu Li Hus red eyes stared at Le Bohong and said, I have always respected the Clear Heart Academy, but my son was killed, moreover the person who killed him does not belong to the Clear Heart Academy, why would the Clear Heart Academy step forward to stop me from taking revenge for my dead son? Le Bohong did not expect that Miu Li Hu did not fear the Clear Heart Academy and would even dare to argue with him, his face immediately turned red. Lu Xue came forward and said, Lord of the Wolf Pce, you killing Ning Cheng does not matter, but I am sure that if you kill Ning Cheng now, a monthter, the Wolf Pce would be exterminated from this ce, then the Miu n will not even have a single person left alive. The words from Lu Xue, suddenly chilled Miu Li Hu to the bone, even his hatred had cooled down a lot. If the people from the Clear Heart Academy were determined to guard this Ning kid, he simply would not be able to kill him anytime soon, unless he wanted to be a fugitive. But he did not understand just how did this kid make the students from the Clear Heart Academye forward to help him? Thinking of this, Miu Li Hu became calmer, he turned to Lu Xue and said while sping his fist, I, Miu Li Hu, am capable in my mind, I know that this kid is not a part of the Clear Heart Academy, I know this very well. Why does the Clear Heart Academy want to destroy me, when this matter doesnt even involve the Clear Heart Academy with the Wolf Pce, just where is the justice in this? Lu Xue just sneered and said, Discriminating against you, do not speak about morality and justice? Master Miu, others may be able to say that sentence to me, but what you just said was a p to your own face. Do you even know what kind of a son you had, tell me one person in this Mingot City who doesnt know about your sons character. Do you think that only your son has the right to kill others, but others do not have the right kill your son? After saying those words, Lu Xue was disinclined to speak more words with Miu Li Hu, pointed at An Yi and directly said, She is the cousin of Ning Cheng, do you even know that she is a person from the Clear Heart Academy? An Yi has a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root, do you even understand what it means, that as a Clear Heart Academys student, she is already qualified to be a core disciple of the Clear Heart Academy. Therefore, An Yi is already equal to a core disciple of the Clear Heart Academy, and Ning Cheng is her cousin, if you do not want your Wolf Pce, and are even willing to destroy your Miu n, then you can go ahead and kill him. Because Miu Li Hu did not give him any face, Le Bohongs face was already dark. After Lu Xue finished, he did not wait for Miu Li Hu to reply and coldly continued, Miu Li Hu, do not think that just because this is Mingot City, and that you are also a cultivator of the True Condensation Realm, so you can show your swagger before others. I do not even put you even in my eyes, even if I did not have the heart to kill you, as long as I even mention your name in the Academy, I am pretty sure there would be many people that woulde for your head for the Academy. This time Miu Li Hu seemed to havepletely calmed down, but there were many veins that stood out on his hands. But he knew that Le Bohong had not lied to him, once he angered the disciples of the Clear Heart Academy. He knew that in Mingot City, there were already a lot of people who would even sacrifice their lives for even getting a bone to enter the Clear Heart Academy, him being a cultivator of the True Condensation Realm was really nothingpared to it. Wolf Pce was not even the dominant power of the Mingot City. Even if he took a step back, nobody would help him in engaging the disciples of the Clear Heart Academy, Ning Cheng even had a cousin with a Pure Spiritual Root, how could he let Ning Cheng go, unless he could kill them together. Otherwise it would only create future troubles for him. Miu Li Hu stared at Ning Cheng with a wicked and ferocious stare, and eventually gave up, turned and quickly disappeared into the Mingot City. He must kill Ning Cheng, however he had to find an alternate way to aplish it. Ning Cheng tuned towards Le Bohong and Lu Xue and cupped his fists and said thanks, but in his heart he had already made up his mind. He must make sure to hold his destiny in his own hands, the feeling of depending on such people made him really ufortable. At this time, he had already gotten his hands on several hundred Spirit Stones, as well as the Golden Cicada Fruit, who knows maybe he could even enter the True Condensation Realm with its help? It is just a small matter, we will wait for a few days in the Mingot City, in a few days, we will board the airship Type Artefact that will be visiting here from the Ming Yi Country. Le Bohong said in an extremely casual tone. ...... Ning Cheng and An Yi followed the arrangement made by Le Bohong, and also started to understand the minds of the disciple that were admitted into the Clear Heart Academy. Lu Xue would also often seek An Yi from time to time, to discuss cultivation, and even trying to deepen their rtionship. After learning that Ning Cheng had a Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, there was practically no one who came to seek him out apart from Le Bohong, who only came asionally, other than him no one came even close to him. Ning Cheng was also aware of this, and did not go out to seek Le Bohong to deepen their rtions. He did not dare to stick himself with the others cultivation, and simply began to study his own Array Formations Methods. His knowledge about it was only at the basic level, now that he was concentrating on researching Array Formation Methods, with the help of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, this knowledge about Array Formations grew leaps and bounds. On this day Ning Cheng was preparing a Level 2 Array Formation, when An Yi knocked on his door. Big Brother Ning...... An Yi had just said a few words, when Ning Cheng beckoned her with his hands and said, An Yi, from now on, call me by my name, or simply as Cousin. Call Big Brother Ning, as her cousin, cousin? An Yi simply didnt think much and omitted the word Ning before saying, Big Brother, the airship has stopped outside Mingot City, Sister Lu Xue asked me to ask you toe on board together. Chapter 0041 – Separated Chapter 0041 C Separated An Yi you are now a Junior Apprentice Sister, I introduced you to her once, this is the Clear Heart Academys Senior Sister Apprentice Yong Gu Yun, Senior Sister Yong helps the Clear Heart Academy in choosing which students to take back...... when Ning Cheng and An Yies out, Lu Xue introduced An Yi with enthusiasm, besides her, there were already several people gathered near her, some of them were telling each other the dangers and the resulting experiences that they hade across, some of them were saying that it was time to choose students from the Ping Continent for the Clear Heart Academy. Le Bohong was also with Lu Xue, there was also a circle of people gathered around them, and were jubntly discussing things with each other. Ning Cheng knew that he himself did not belong to any of the circles, those people gossiping around in the circles, the worst cultivation among them was Qi Gathering 6th Level, while Yong Gu Yun was at the pinnacle of the Qi Gathering 8th Level. In contrast, his cultivation of the Qi Gathering 4th Level really did not belong in this ce. Since An Yi was able to be friends with the enthusiastic Lu Xue, he estimated that it was because of her Spiritual Root. If An Yi was the same as him, having a Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, surely even she would not have the qualifications to be in that circle. An Yi already was a person who did not talk much, especially after her Masters death which was a great blow to her. However recently, she had been following Ning Cheng and even risking her life together with him, and had seen too many things, after seeing so many things her heart was slowly starting to open up. In addition, Lu Xue was also a woman, so there were a lot ofmon topics between them. As Lu Xue deliberately wanted to be close friends with her, she thought that An Yi had no experience in such matters and thus gradually integrated her into her circle. Ning Cheng also did not go interrupt them, as he was looking at the huge airship Type Artefact in front of him. On his Earth, he had never boarded a ne, but he knew how big the nes were. Now in his opinion, even thergest ne was smaller than the huge airship Type Artefact in front of him by at least a dozen times, this was a genuine giant. This huge airship Type Artefact was going to fly, he did not know if it purely depended on Spirit Stones, of if there was something else that powered it. He did not believe that this kind of huge airship did not have a power source, as it would not fly for no reason. Only when it was time to board, did An Yi had the opportunity to excuse herself to go call Ning Cheng. Who is he? Yong Gu Yun thought she knew everything about An Yi even better than herself, she also simrly had a Pure Spiritual Root, and thus paid a high attention to An Yi, now that An Yi had specifically gone to call a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, she asked with some doubt. Lu Xue looked back at An Yi and said while sighing, That is An Yis cousin Ning Cheng, An Yi and his rtionship doesnt seem to normal. Yong Gu Yun immediately asks, What is Ning Chengs Spiritual Root? Lu Xue shook her head and said, I heard that it was a very disappointing multi line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, he and An Yi are just opposites in this matter. Impossible, in the waters of the Mingot Sea, how can one with a multi-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root cultivate? Looking at his Qi fluctuations, he should be at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, right? Yong Gu Yun asked in a surprised way. It is because of luck; he had obtained 5 Qi Gathering Pills. Le Bohong came over with a smile, However Ning Cheng is still quite good, and is highly principled, unfortunately, it seems that in this life, he is likely to stop at just the Qi Gathering Realm, I think that it would be even difficult for him to reach the Qi Gathering 7th Level. If that is the case, he really should not go to the Clear Heart Academy. To arrive at the Clear Heart Academy, An Yi would certainly be taken in as a disciple by an Elder in the Essence Building Realm, it would be difficult for Ning Cheng to see her again. Yong Gu Yun said while smiling and looking in the direction of Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng did not know what the others were thinking of him, however he was a person from Earth, he was already well versed with the changes in human feelings. He could even anticipate what would happen to him once he arrived at the Clear Heart Academy, he would definitely not be treated well. At this time An Yi came to him to call him to get on board, he swept his eyes over the rest of the students from the Clear Heart Academy, and said to An Yi, An Yi, with your Spiritual Roots you can easily go into the Clear Heart Academy, and would definitely have a well-known teacher to guide you, you can even be a core student of the Clear Heart Academy. The chances of us meeting in the future will be very few, it is better if I share some of my Spirit Stones with you now. An Yi in her mind was very surprised, and hastily said, Big Brother, I will always be together with you, my master also said this, she wanted me to be together with you. Ning Cheng forced out a wry smile and said, An Yi, at that time your master had said that, because at that time you did not have any friends, and also did not have anyone else, now that you have friends, you could clearly focus on your cultivation in the Clear Heart Academy. If your master was still alive, even she would not want you and me to be together. No, I must be together with you. An Yi stubbornly said. She did not have many reasons to argue with Ning Cheng, she simply felt that she would only be happy in being together with Ning Cheng, it just feltfortable in her heart. Ning Cheng sighed darkly and said, We must leave Mingot City, wait until we reach the Clear Heart Academy and cultivate hard, I believe that the Clear Heart Academy will give a lot of training resources to you. Moreover, even your master said that your background is not ordinary, if your cultivation level does not rise up, there is absolutely no way of knowing your origins. More importantly, if you became the core disciple of the Academy, and if you and I are still together, maybe the Academy would think that I am the one who was holding you back. An Yi fell silent, she no longer was the pure young nun who had just stepped out of the temple. She understood the meaning of Ning Chengs words, Ning Chengs Spiritual Root was very poor, if she went along with Ning Cheng, perhaps the Academy would kill Ning Cheng for holding her back. In this period of time together with him, she had already seen too many bloody things. I understand; I will remember Big Brothers words. An Yi already had secretly made up her heart, she must try hard in cultivation, when her cultivation level was high enough, then she would help Ning Cheng in seeking more Spirit Stones. Ning Cheng in his heart was very upset, now when he saw An Yi, going to the Clear Heart Academy, he knew that it would be very difficult for them to meet. After I arrive at the Academy, I would definitely have more cultivation resources, you do not have to give me those things immediately. The amount of cultivation resources needed by you are definitely more. An Yi had seen Ning Chengs cultivation, she knew that Ning Cheng needed a scary amount of Spirit Stones to cultivate. Although Ning Cheng had obtained several hundred pieces of Spirit Stones previously, she knew that it was definitely not enough for him. An Yi, lets go aboard. Lu Xue called from afar. Ning Cheng took An Yis hand and said, Come on, lets go aboard. Miao Li Hu who was standing far away to one side was staring at the back of Ning Cheng and An Yi with raw hate, he pledged in his heart, even if he had to sacrifice the Wolfs Pce, he would secretly follow them to the Ming Ye country, then he would try to find opportunities to kill Ning Cheng. ...... Ning Cheng had not guessed wrong, when he and An Yi went aboard, An Yi was put in a better room than him, only after Ning Cheng asked the other people to show him the way did he know, that this airship really had a partnership with the Clear Heart Academy and the Ming Ye Country. Ning Cheng was also not the only person who upied his room, but there were also five other people whom he did not know, who were also staying in that room. These five people were very young and had the same characteristics, the oldest one was about 20 years in age. This made Ning Cheng rx a bit, his cultivation level in this room was finally not the worst one. This room had five people, and there were only two of them who were at the Qi Gathering 4th Level. Are you also students from the Clear Heart Academy? Ning Cheng asked as he cupped his fists. His was a bit surprised in his heart, even if it was the Clear Heart Academy, cultivators in the Qi Gathering 2nd Level earning 2 Low Grade Spirit Stones for the fare was definitely not a simple thing, right? One of them who was the same as Ning Cheng, a teenager with the same cultivation level of Qi Gathering 4th Level said, Of course not, are you not going to the Clear Heart Academy to be selected, are you also not going to participate in the admission selection of the Clear Heart Academy? Only by passing the Academys selection, would you be considered as a student of the Clear Heart Academy. Ning Cheng suddenly came to understand, before he had heard that this airship had a partnership with the Min Yi Country and the Clear Heart Academy. It seems that this ship went around the whole Ping Continent, in all directions to select youths with good aptitudes to enter the Clear Heart Academy, once they pass the test, they would then be the students of the Clear Heart Academy. Le Bohong said that one required 2 Spirit Stones to embark on this airship, perhaps it was to help him open a backdoor for him and An Yi. Ning Cheng quickly familiarized himself with the other people, these people were just like Ning Cheng had guessed them to be, they all hade from different regions to join the Clear Heart Academy, and were getting ready to participate in the selection tests of the Clear Heart Academy. The qualification of several people in his room could be considered as the bottom of all the people on board, despite being in the bottom, the worst one of them had a better qualification than Ning Cheng, at least they had a primary Spiritual Root. What would happen if we fail the tests? Ning Cheng suddenly thought, if they failed in passing the entrance test, the Clear Heart Academy would certainly not recruit them, it was certain that there would not be any airships that would send them back. A skinny teenager who was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level clenched his fist and said, I have to pass it. Seeing him and Ning Cheng, the teenager at the Qi Gathering 4th Level said with contempt, If you could really pass the test, then the rest of us can reach the moon in a single jump, if you cant pass, you could only stay in the Ming Ye Country to seek living. If someone wants to return home from Ming Ye Country, you would just be seeking death. Finished saying that with a sigh, he said, If you have at least Yu Hong Fengs type of Spiritual Root, then you do not have to worry. Who is Yu Hong Feng? Ning Cheng asked. He is a person who selected by Yu Anguo, I heard that he would only select students who have a golden Spiritual Roots. Even the elders on the airship are very polite to him, he has boundless prospects ....... The teenager at the Qi Gathering 4th Level replied with some envy in his voice. Ning Cheng was moved in his heart, a Pure Spiritual Root was given such attention, would that also mean that An Yi would also share the same attention? At this time, the door of the room was opened with a slight squeak, and a boy wearing a blue robe came in carrying a wooden tray, on the wooden tray were several simr lunch boxes. Here is your dinner. That blue robed youth said without even showing the slightest feeling. Ning Cheng knew that there would be a person who woulde to deliver the food, it seems that the treatment here was not as bad as he thought. It seemed that the other teenagers in the room were already ustomed to it, and hurried to take their lunch boxes. After Ning Cheng took his lunch box, he asked the meal delivery boy in a very kind way, Excuse me my friend, where does the disciples with Pure Spiritual Roots live? The meal delivery youth gave Ning Cheng a surprised look, and then he said, They live in the core area, do not try to go looking for them, otherwise you would soon be kicked out of the airship. The teenager at the Qi Gathering 4th Level heard the exchange, asked in a puzzled way, Is Yu Hong Feng not the only person with a Pure Spiritual Root? Of course not, I have heard that this time in the Mingot Sea they were able to find a person with a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root. The meal delivery youth immediately replied. Ning Cheng knew that the other party would definitely keep An Yi safe, having heard that, he understood that An Yi would definitely be properly taken care of. But he was still very worried in his heart, and also asked, If I wanted to meet one of the students with the Pure Spiritual Roots, will there be trouble? It is not troublesome, tomorrow night the people on board will throw a weing party for the two people with the Pure Spiritual Roots. If you have to ability to get the admission tickets, then you can go see them. This meal delivery youth smiled at Ning Cheng thinking that he was overestimating his own ability, after saying that, he did not continue to exchange words with Ning Cheng, and turned around to leave the room. Chapter 0042 – You’re Such A Bitch Chapter 0042 C Youre Such A Bitch The meal delivery boy had just left, when the gate was shoved open again, this time a middle aged beautiful woman came in. Besides Ning Cheng, when the other five teenagers saw this middle aged beautiful woman they immediately stood up and immediately bowed to salute her, at the same time they respectfully called out, Elder Lan....... This middle aged beautiful woman slightly nodded her head, and looked at Ning Cheng and asked, Are you called Ning Cheng? Ning Cheng felt that the eyes of this beautiful middle aged woman were very stern, and did not understand why this Elder would trouble herself to find him. You,e with me. this middle aged woman did not even wait for Ning Cheng to reply, and said while she already turned around to leave the room. Ning Cheng, for some unknown reason, also followed this middle aged beautiful woman out of the room, after turning through a few bends in the airship, they entered a luxurious room which was shared by six people. This middle aged beautiful woman sat down in the seat of honour in the room, and did not wait for Ning Cheng to sit down, and only asked in a light voice, ording to what An Yi said, you and An Yis rtionship does not seem to be that of two close cousins, before An Yis master had departed, she asked you to take care of An Yi. Ning Cheng did not speak, he knew that An Yi was very pure and simple minded, in the face of these crafty fellows, it was not unusual for these things to be asked. He only hoped that An Yi did not say about the Mysterious Yellow Bead to them, and also that he required a scary amount of Spirit Stones for his cultivation, these kind of things must not be spread around. Once An Yi even mentioned about it, then he could only wait for his death. Ning Cheng believed that An Yi should know how to differentiate between good and evil, as this kind of thing should not even be vaguely mentioned, and she should more so not take the initiative to say it. After the beautiful middle aged woman finished speaking, she again did not wait for Ning Cheng to reply and said again, Regardless of whether An Yi is your cousin or not, I hope you will stay away from An Yi. It would be good for you as well as An Yi. An Yi has a limitless future, and you have a three-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, your greatest achievement will only be in the Qi Gathering Realm, if you and An Yi remain in contact, it would only affect An Yi. Ning Cheng also said in a light voice, I know that An Yi will have a limitless future whenpared to me, but before that, I must confirm that An Yi gets to receive the best care in the Clear Heart Academy. Ning Cheng already knew that the Clear Heart Academy would properly take care of An Yi, but the words that this beautiful middle aged woman just spoke, made him upset. The beautiful middle aged woman showed a faint smile, You can. Saying that she took out a Jade Card which she gave to Ning Cheng and said, Tomorrow evening we will hold a wee party for An Yi and Yu Hong Feng on the airship, you can rely on this Jade Card to enter the area, when the timees, you can look at An Yi from the corner, otherwise you already understand what would happen. Ning Cheng took the Jade Card, and silently turned and walked out of the room, he was toozy to even properly thank this middle aged beautiful woman. At this time an extremely pretty girl hurriedly rushed in, and brushed past Ning Cheng who was just exiting the room. She also took a nce at Ning Cheng, at the same time voiced out a few words. Master, who is this person? He does not even have the basic courtesy. This pretty girl was staring at the retreating figure of Ning Cheng, and asked that middle aged beautiful woman. The middle aged beautiful woman frowned and said, Although his qualifications is very low, but he has an obstinate character, and is extremely proud in his heart. He did not even reply to my words a moment ago, and did not even say a greeting, it seems that I really cant let hime with us to the Clear Heart Academy. ...... Ning Cheng returned to his room, inside the room, the few people were looking at him with a strange look in their eyes, however no one came forward to question him, and also no one came to strike up a conversation with him either. Ning Cheng was also not in a very good mood, and closed his eyes to attempt cultivating the Array Formation Methods. The day passed by in an instant, in the second evening Ning Cheng arrived at the wee party area, the party hall was already crowded, and was also very lively and loud. Ning Cheng was from Earth, although he did not attend the evening banquets, parties or the like, but he had seen countless of them on the television. But this was the first time for Ning Cheng to participate in such a party, although there were no modern amenities here, but Ning Cheng was sure that this luxurious evening party aboard the airship was not one bit inferior to the high ss parties back on his Earth. There were rows of Illuminating Array Formations that lit up the entire party hall like a fairnd, there were even young girls wearing colourful butterfly like dresses and holding tes of food and wines interspersed in every corner. There was a soft gentle music that was ying which Ning Cheng had never heard before, when a person heard this, they would start to feel a very pleasant feeling of enjoyment. There were many cultivators who participated in this party, and none of them were lower than Qi Gathering 5th Level, moreover there were many people who he could not clearly sense their cultivation levels. Le Bohong was also walking around with a smile on his face, while talking with a few people who Ning Cheng could not even sense their cultivation levels. Ning Cheng, other that the few people beside Le Bohong, could not recognize the rest of them. At this time, a burst of sweet music could be heard, under the light of the dimming moonlight, Ning Cheng saw An Yi. At this point, An Yi was like a princess, the cloth robe that she was wearing earlier had already disappeared, and she had changed into a set of light yellow skirt. While her head was still wrapped in a white scarf, but it actually made her look like a fairy, as her already beautiful face became more refined just like an otherworldly fairy. An Yi walked into the hall with a smile on her face, and her eyes were full of happiness. Clearly, although she had nevere in contact with such a scene, here adaptability to it was very strong, at least in her eyes there was no hesitation or anxiety. Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun apanied An Yi on her side, showing that the status of An Yi was even higher than them. As An Yi entered the party hall, there was burst of warm and enthusiastic apuse. Just behind An Yi and the others appeared a very handsome boy, his eyes had a trace of pride in them, and was walking with extreme confidence stered on his face. Ning Cheng did not ask, he could already guess that this person should be the one with the pure gold Spiritual Root, Yu Hong Feng. An Yi stood on the stage and epted the crowd weing her, at the same time, she was also looking in all directions as if searching for someone. Lu Xue whispered in An Yis ears and said, Junior Apprentice Sister An Yi, these people here are the Elite Disciples and teachers of the Clear Heart Academy, Ning Cheng will not be able toe here. An Yi nodded, and retracted her gaze, there was more than a trace of sadness in her eyes. The fact is you shouldnt havee on board. An indifferent voice sounded in Ning Chengs ears. Ning Cheng suddenly turned around, and saw a familiar young girl. This young girl was precisely the one he had seen when he had gone to see the beautiful middle aged woman. at that time, he wasing out of the beautiful middle aged womans room, and this young girl happened to rush hurriedly inside. Although she only brushed past him, Ning Cheng still remembered her very clearly. At least I know my cousin is being treated very well, I am finally relieved. Ning Cheng said with a lightugh, finished saying that he turned and was about to leave. If he did note on board, he would have definitely died in Mingot City. The young girl suddenly said, I think that it would be better if you got off the airship on the next stop. Believe me, its for your own good. After the girl said such strange words, she turned around and moved towards the middle of the bustling crowd in the party hall. Ning Cheng frowned, he did not have a good feeling. He was just about to reach for a wine ss on the table beside him to drink, when he heard a familiar voice once again, Youve seen your cousin An Yi, she is getting along very well, so you do not have to worry about her. Many thanks senior, I really dont have to worry about it anymore, this junior takes his leave. Ning Cheng gave up his thought of picking up a wine ss and said, as he turned around, he found that he was talking to the beautiful middle aged woman who had given him the Jade Card, but at this moment there was not even an expression on her face. The beautiful middle aged woman said indifferently, Letting youe here, was because you are An Yis cousin, you should understand this thought well. I was looking for some matters pertaining you, you wille with me. The bad feeling in Ning Chengs heart was growing more intense, but he had no leeway to resist, and could only follow the beautiful middle aged woman out of the party hall. After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, there was a light breeze blowing, Ning Cheng discovered that he was standing on the deck behind the airship. Under the airship was the endless blue sky and vast white clouds, those light breezes wereing from an Array Formation that was arranged in the rear of the airship, and it seemed that the breeze was contained. As one could imagine it, if it was not for these shielding Array Formations, just by standing in this ce, one would be immediately thrown out due to the airships fast speed. Looking at the endless blue skies and the vast white clouds under his feet, Ning Cheng was feeling somewhat dizzy, at this point hepletely understood what the beautiful middle aged woman had brought him here to do. You want me to jump down from here? said Ning Cheng as his expression became ice cold, letting a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 4th Level to jump from this high in the air, other than the path of dying, there was no other second path. The middle aged beautiful woman naturally nodded and said, Thats right, you must jump down from here, you have no choice. Why is that? I have already agreed to not seek out An Yi anymore. Ning Cheng said as he clenched his fists, he knew that these people had no disregard for human lives, however this was too outrageous. Just because he knew An Yi, and An Yi had a Pure Spiritual Root would they kill him, how could this make any sense? It was as if, if he was alive, An Yi would not feel at ease in cultivating. For the future of An Yi, I have the responsibility to help An Yi in cutting off the worldly burdens from her life peacefully. You dont want to fight me, I can tell you beforehand, that I am Elder Lan Yin Yue of the Clear Heart Academy, with the cultivation level of True Condensation 8th Level. You are merely a cultivator of the Qi Gathering 4th Level, I dont even need to move, and can make you get down from here immediately. But because you are An Yis cousin, I do not want to force you, you can jump by yourself. This middle aged beautiful woman said all these words in an impassive tone as if she was just asking for him to do something trivial. Ha Ha..... Ning Chengughed, When the mother is a whore, then the child will also be a bitch, you do not like to force me, Bah. You are courting death....... the originally extremely calm and quite Lan Yin Yue after listening to Ning Cheng, immediately was overflowing with a Killing Intent. Ning Cheng knew that he did not have any ability to resist, he walked to the edge of the airships side and stared at Lan Yin Yue and just said a few simple words, Lan Yin Yue, this father does not need you to begin, this father will choose himself. There will be one day, that you will regret todays events, you self-centred bitch...... Lan Yin Yue heard Ning Cheng calling out to her as a bitch, and was suddenly trembling with anger, she did not even wait for Ning Cheng to begin, but Ning Cheng had already jumped from the airships side on his own initiative, he knew from the face of Lan Yin Yue, that other than him jumping down, there was no second way to go. The airships speed was very quick, so when Ning Cheng jumped, the airship had already flown far away. Lan Yin Yue was still unable to quell her anger that had built up inside her, she did not expect that a mere Qi Gathering 4th Level runt would dare to humiliate her. If she could fly, she would have certainly flown out of the airship, catch Ning Cheng again, and tear him up inch by inch. Chapter 0043 – Ning Cheng’s Demise*** Chapter 0043 C Ning Chengs Demise*** Just as Ning Cheng jumped out of the airship, he was buffeted by the strong winds blowing outside the airship, it was only then he realised how fast the airship was travelling, in just a blink of an eye it had already transformed into a tine speck by the horizon. But at the moment, he did not care about it, he was falling at a fast rate as the initial momentum from the ship was also helping him plummet even faster towards the ground. He, in just a short moment, fell through the cloud cover and was immediately soaking wet, which further added to his weight and speed, in short, he knew that if he did not do something, then there would not even be a shred of flesh on his body if he ended up striking the ground. He was already an exceptional student back on earth, and with his memory andprehension capabilities, he was able to immediately deduce what would happen if he ended up sticking the ground. Let alone dying, there would not even be aplete corpse left of him, he definitely could not rely on his Mysterious Yellow Bead, let alone rely, he could not even draw out the Mysterious Yellow Qi from it by his own will!! By now he was able to see a vast and dense forest in front of his eyes, it would be a really grand and majestic sight if a person was looking at it while standing on the ground, but for Ning Cheng it was a horrifying sight which induced an unprecedented terror in his heart. He knew that if he fell into the forest, even if by some god sent miracle that he didnt die, he would end up gravely injured and would not even be able to defend himself from even attacks from normal wild beasts. At the moment, he was wildly circting his Qi in his body while trying to provoke some kind of action from the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he even took out the Ling Shis that he had in order to get some kind of reaction. But because his heart and mind was in a turmoil, he could not get himself to calm down, after all he was from Earth, and although there were sports back there like skydiving he never once attempted such a dangerous sport in his entire life. He was always in awe of the people who were showing of those sports on the television. But all his efforts were of no avail, as he plummeted towards the forest. As the trees of the forest came closer to him, he realised that those tree were not normal tree but rather they were gigantic in size. Although he did not want to but his brain automatically calcted the rough size of those tree, and the results were staggering, those giant trees were hundreds of timesrger than the biggest trees back on Earth, the Red Woods. After he exhausted his Qi, he knew that now there was no hope that he would survive. He gritted his teeth and tried hard to work his brain into overdrive but could note up with any solution. He knew that he could not survive his fall, so he was kind of regretting not creating a scene back in the airship, he did not know when, but his feelings towards An Yi had slowly changed from a simple brother sister love to something akin to real love between couples. He was regretting not saying anything about this to An Yi, for he feared that An Yi would reject him, thinking him to be simr to the guys that her master had warned her about. He was regretting not fighting those bastards from the Clear Heart Academy for taking An Yi away from him, he really was regretting not fighting against that Elder Yan who had forced him to jump off the airship, he was really cursing himself for having such a spiritual root that even his own family did not even see him as a human. He knew form the memories of his previous self, only his grandfather and Ji Luo Fei, after he reincarnated, had some good feelings for him, but as for others, they always looked at him with eyes full of disgust, they never even regarded him as a human. When he met An Yi, only then something changed inside him, although at first he only felt a sisterly love towards An Yi, but now that he was dying, An Yis image gradually reced that of Tian Mu Wans in his heart. At this moment, unlike before when he used to fondly remember about Tian Mu Wan, but now there were only two people in his heart, his younger sister Ning Run and An Yi, Tian Mu Wan had already faded into the back of his mind. While thinking of the two girls, he felt sad for Ning Run, he did not know that if he died would he even return to Earth, back to his sister. Or if he would really end up dying and disappearing from the world. Although it took a long time to describe this, in reality it was only a few seconds, and Ning Cheng in just those few seconds had already gotten extremely close to the tree tops of the forest. Now he could clearly see the tree tops and even the leaves of the trees, but he knew that with his body devoid of Qi and with him falling with such a huge velocity, he could not even turn his head no matter how much he willed himself. If not for his body being strengthened to Qi Gathering 4th Level, he knew that his body would already have been shredded a long time ago due to air friction. He knew that the top of the giant tree would end up piercing his chest, most like even his chest. In short he knew that he had no chance of surviving. At the moment the tree top pierced though his skin of his chest, hest thoughts were Run, Luo Fei, An Yi, I am sorry. The tree top had already pierced though his chest and was moving towards his chest as he predicted, but it was at this moment, the Mysterious Yellow Bead finally reacted, and in an instant sent out rivers of the Mysterious Yellow Qi throughout his body. It immediately covered his entire body, even destroying the invading tree top, but it was already toote, as it had already pierced though his heartpletely. But rather than Ning Cheng dying, there was a brilliant sh in the sky as a bright ball of light immediately engulfed Ning Cheng. It started to expand rapidly, anything that came in contact of the bright ball of light was immediately disintegrated, whether it was trees, beasts or even water, everything was disintegrated at the molecr level. That ball of light expanded till it reached a diameter of 1 kilometre, destroying everything in its path, before it suddenly vanished without even a trace, all one could see was a huge crater on the ground. ........ Ning Cheng knew that he had died, he had definitely felt the tree top pierce though his chest and even his heart, by rights he should have died. But he could feel a cool air surrounding him, he could hear a few voices but he couldnt make out what they were or who did they belong to, as at this moment he had a splitting headache along with an intense pain from his chest area. His first thought was that, he somehow miraculously survived his fall, and that pain from his chest was from the tree top piercing his chest. It seems that he was somehow saved. Anyways, the main point was he was alive, he wanted to sit up and see his surroundings to see if he was in any further danger. But then he suddenly felt that, he was definitely not in a forest, perhaps his saviours had taken him back to some kind of shelter. He felt although these people had saved his lives, perhaps they were not as magnanimous as he was thinking them out to be. Maybe they were waiting to warm up to him before killing him, after all in the entire time he was on that ce, he had encountered all kinds of madmen. He found that he still had a strand of Qi in his body, but it was very weak, but he still circted that weak strand of Qi through his meridians, to restore a bit of his hearing. As his hearing was gradually restored, he could make out faint and broken phrases, as the person who was speaking them was speaking in a very fast speech. ..... it really was a miracle........hit by a meteor...... one of the fast speaking persons Doc.... Will.........k the other fast speaker Will my brother be Ok. This time he could definitely hear a crisp voice with a heavy concern in it. That voice was just like a bolt of lightning for Ning Cheng. He could never forget that voice no matter what, for that voice was something that he fondly remembered every single time he closed his eyes. Thest time he saw the owner of that voice was when he had given a star shaped pearl hair clip to her in front of the Jiangzhou Academys entrance back when he was on Earth. That voices owner was none other than Ning Run, the closest person to him in the entire world and also his younger sister. He could forget Tian Mu Wan, he could forget Ji Luo Fei, he could even forget An Yi, but Ning Run, his younger sister, no matter if had to go through insane torture, or getting roasted in hellfire, to meet his younger sister even for a single time, he would even give up his entire life. The only reason why he did not attempt tomit suicide when he appeared in that ancient world was because he did not know if it would lead him back to his home. He did not know if he could go back to his younger sister who he cherished the most the entire world. After all she was his only family and they had supported each other since they were kids. And although Ning Cheng was said to be an exceptional student, his younger sister was actually much more smarter and better than him. But he never once felt jealous, but rather he felt absolute pride in his younger sister. After all she was the only person who had been with him since childhood. Ning Run never knew her parents, as they had died when she was just a baby, it was all up to her big brother Ning Cheng who took care of her. For Ning Run, Ning Cheng was much more than just an older brother, he was her father, her mother, her best friend. He always helped her without asking for anything. Although many people thought that she was better than Ning Cheng, as not only she was 3 years younger than him, but even was a senior at the college, unlike her brother who was a junior. But knew very well knew about her big brother Ning Chengs capabilities, and always admired him and was always proud to have such a brother. But then her world waspletely shattered that day, that day she wanted to surprise her older brother by showing the gift that she had got for him. She had been repeatedly trying to call him, but there was never an answer, she thought that her brother was finally doing some adult stuff with his girlfriend, Tian Mu Wan. When she thought of that, she blushed a bit, and decided to call her brotherter so as not to disturb him. But for some reason a restless feeling was getting stronger and stronger in her, she had a foreboding that soothing bad might happen. She tried to put those thoughts away, but she couldnt, she ended sumbing to it, and called her brother. But she still could not get a response, she tried multiple times but every time got the same response The subscriber you are trying to reach is out of coverage area. The bad feeling in her gut was getting heavier and heavier every passing moment. She finally could not take it anymore, and called up Tian Mu Wans number which her brother had given to her to only contact in emergencies, if he was not avable, after all Tian Mu Wan and Ning Run had never met before. She called her up, and set up a meet with her in order to find what had happened to her brother, as it was obvious that he was definitely not with her. She being a girl who understood everything about her brother was thinking, it couldnt be that they split up, did they. But still, no matter how upset her brother became, he would always talk to her no matter what, it was kind of an unwritten rule for them to not have any secrets between them. Although she was also thinking that she just might be overreacting, maybe her brother was tied up in some construction rted work that he would do. As asionally he used to work a bitte at the construction site when one of the other people were absent. But when she met Tian Mu Wan at the caf across the college, she kind of felt proud of her brother to have such a stunning girlfriend, but then she looked at the expression on her face. Immediately she felt a foreboding in her heart as she thought, something is wrong. She did not hear what Tian Mu Wan said, and immediately asked for the whereabouts of her elder brother. For her, even if her elder brothers girlfriend was in front of her, her concern for her brothers wellbeing topped anything else. But then she saw, rather that replying to her, Tian Mu Wan immediately turned and ran out of the caf. She knew immediately that something bad had happened to her brother. She did not think of anything else and immediately followed Tian Mu Wan out of the caf. She wanted to catch her and find what the hell was wrong, but Tian Mu Wan was running like a crazy person, without any regards to anything, she was even ran across the road causing a mass crash of cars. She kept running till she reached the site where the meteorite fragment struck, Ning Ron was feeling extreme dread in her heart, although she did not want to but very gory images were shing though her mind. Was her big brother here? Did he get struck by something? She did not want to but the reality was in front of her. Tian Mu Wan was hysterically talking to an emergency worker working on the site. She approached the two of them, and heard a bit of their conversation: Lady I do not know what youre are taking about. The entire area was cleared off before I got here. Go ask the supervisor there. After going on like this for a few minutes, they came to know that there was a body that was carried out, it seemed to be of a young man , other than that they did not know anything else about it. They immediately asked about where the body was taken to, they wanted to make sure if that body really was of Ning Cheng. Both the girls were already on the verge of their minds copsing. They really did not want to believe that the body was really Ning Chengs. Ning Run immediately decided that she would definitely get to the bottom of this, if it was because of an ident that Ning Cheng was here then she would still have a bit ofpassion towards of Tian Mu Wan, but if turned out that it was because they had a breakup, then she would do everything in her power to take down that bitch, Tian Mu Wan and her family, no matter how powerful her family is, she vowed to make her suffer miserably. Although she knew that her reasoning was wed, but her entire world was on the brink of copse, without her big brother she did not know how could she continue living. She wanted to me someone for this, no matter how absurd the reason was, she wanted to vent. While those thoughts in their minds they headed to the morgue, where the body was taken. On getting there they were informed that the body from the crash site was not actually a dead body, but was charred so bad that the emergency responders thought that he had died. Only aftering back to the hospital did they find that miraculously, that youth had survived, albeit in a very critical condition. They immediately brought them to the room where he was being kept after being operated on. The doctor came forward and took out some burnt things that he had obtained from the person. When they saw those burnt things both Ning Run and Tian Mu Wan almost fainted. How could they forget those things, it was precisely Ning Chengs items. It was especially true for Ning Run as she always saw that wrist watch on Ning Chengs hand. It was a keepsake from their parents, which Ning Cheng always kept on him no matter what. They immediately knew that the person resting on the hospital bed in front of them was definitely Ning Cheng, and werepletely overjoyed, although he was heavily injured, he was alive. That was all that mattered to them. Both of them sped each others hands and began sobbing. The doctors found it a bit awkward but did note forward to interrupt them. He knew from their reactions, they were someone close to that person. After a few minutes of crying they sobered up, and asked the doctor: How is he? Will my big brother be OK? It was at that time that Ning Cheng finally opened his eyes, and the scene in front of immediately confirmed his suspicions, as tears started to flow down his face. They were not tears of pain nor they were tears of sadness but they were genuine tears of joy. They were tears of joy for seeing his little sister Ning Run and Tian Mu Wan. Although he now did not feel the same way about Tian Mu Wan as he did before, nevertheless he still felt d and genuinely happy in his heart. It even made the extreme pain that his body was in to feel as it was nothing. Finally, a miracle did happen, finally was able to reunite with his sister. But then something else happened that shocked him to the core, he could now freely control the Mysterious Yellow Qi from the Mysterious Yellow Bead by his own.......... [TL Note C He He He ..... I know that people will want to kill me for this, but this entire chapter was made up by me and is not an actual chapter. Do leave behind your feels for this fan fic.] Chapter 0043 – Daan Forest Chapter 0043 C Daan Forest The reason why Ning Cheng dared to jump off, was because he was relying on his Spiritual Sense that he could now bring out. But when he was really falling from the airship, he was hit by a strong force of inertia, this made his heartpletely depressed, and he unwillingly cast his Imperial Wind Technique, but at this altitude and the powerful inertia acting upon him made him unable to disy the power of his Imperial Wind Technique, moreover he could only use this technique for a limited time only. Not to mention that the time he had to utilise it was short, he was falling with a powerful force and from a very high altitude, letting his use of the Imperial Wind Technique to cost him a frightful amount of his Qi. If he did not think of another way, he would certainly die by plunging to his death in this ce. Ning Cheng directly threw out his Flying Sword, and forced his Spiritual Sense to control his Flying Sword, he was unable to make the Flying Sword berger, but with a great difficulty led the Flying Sword fly over just under his feet. Shi, Shi...... sound of wind breaking could be heard, as he used his Spiritual Sense to control his Flying Sword which finally slowed him down a bit. His Spiritual Sense and his infuriating consumption of Qi made Ning Cheng understand, that he could utmost persevere for just a few breadths, and after a few breadths, he would basically not be able to fall to the ground safely. Ning Cheng, without any hesitation, took out a long robe from his Storage Bag, and then tied the cuffs of the sleeves of the long robe, then pulling on the corners of the long robes with his hands, he slightly rxed his Spiritual Sense. After Ning Cheng rxed his Spiritual Sense, the Flying Sword under his feet was immediately unable to support his weight, and his whole body started to fall faster, but at this time the long robe in his hands bulged, forming a simple parachute, counterbncing Ning Chengs weight by more than a half. After the weight reduction, Ning Cheng forcibly once again controlled the Flying Sword using his Spiritual Sense, finally without consuming too much of his Qi. After another dozen breaths, Ning Cheng felt a strong wind, and crashed into the middle of a dense forest. Katcha...... several snapping sounds could be heard, as Ning Chen stepped on a few branches which directly broke. Bang a sound came, as Ning Cheng dropped to the ground, immediately the earth around him turned into a bathtub sized pit. With his whole body feeling very weak, Ning Cheng slowly heaved a sigh, he finally managed to escape with his life, other than bringing out his Spiritual Sense and his massive consumption of Qi, his body only had a few simple scratches. This to him, was already the best result or in other words a miracle. Here there was only the forest all around, as he hadnded in the middle of the forest, one could only see because of the scant light that was falling from the top. There were two Screech, Screech screams that could be heard as if something was falling down from the sky, Ning Cheng only saw a shadow that was like a lightning rush towards him, Ning Cheng was surprised in heart, he subconsciously lifted up a hand, but that shadow had already shed past his shoulder like lighting. Ning Cheng felt a slight pain from his shoulder, under the dim light, he was able to see that unexpectedly his clothes along with his shoulders skin were scraped off. This was a very fierce bird, Ning Cheng did not think that he who had fallen from such a high altitude without much injury, would be hurt this much by just a scratch from a bird. There was another beast roar that came from far away, Ning Chengs heart immediately became tight, he knew that the ce he had fallen to was definitely not a good ce. He quickly took out a Spirit Stone in his hand, and simultaneously started to recover his Qi, at the same time he grasped the Flying Sword in his other hand. During the time his Qi recovered by a half, that shadow that was simr to the one who had scratched his shoulder before once again flew down from the sky. This time Ning Cheng was well prepared, a bloody fog shed across, click a sound came, and arge, somewhat owl like, giant bird fell to the ground. This was a ss 1 Monstrous Beast, Ning Cheng recognized it in a nce. A ce that had Monstrous Beasts, was definitely not a friendly ce. At this point he could hear another beast roar in a distance, and there were waves of rustling sounds close by. Ning Cheng quickly jumped, and rapidly left the ce. He vaguely guessed that the ce he was should be inside the Daan Forest, that airship would definitely not pass through the sky above the Daan Forest, and would have flown along the edges of the Daan Forest, but because he was falling due to the effect of inertia, he had deviated into the Daan Forest. At this time, he had to get out of the Daan Forest as soon as possible, otherwise in this ce where even Essence Building Realm cultivators are afraid to pass through, him staying here would be fraught with grim possibilities. Ning Cheng was not seriously injured, plus he also had Spirit Stones to recover his Qi, so in just less than half an hour, his Qi waspletely restored, even his Spiritual Sense had almost recovered. But Ning Cheng knew that he was lost, here he was surrounded all around by towering giant trees, even if there were sparse trees, but because of the shrubs regeneration capabilities, there was basically no way out. Rushing about the forest for a few hours, in addition to the various wild animals, there were only snakes, mice and bugs. As for the ss 1 Monster Beast, Ning Cheng had met them several times. Because he was quite smart, he managed to escape those beasts without a fight. After about half a day, there was no sunlight falling through the dense forest cover overhead, but it was reced by the pale light from the moon, Ning Cheng knew that he could not continue like this, he had to find a safe ce to rest first, and then develop a strategy. Click a frail sound was transmitted from under his foot, and Ning Chengs foot slipped, he felt that he had stepped on a round stone. Ning Cheng subconsciously jumped to one side, and discovered that under his foot was unexpectedly a dried up skeletal head, immediately Ning Cheng saw the bones of arm and feet near the white skeletal head. Ning Cheng stooped down to find out what kind of history and origin this skeleton had, when a gust of wind came from behind having a fishy smell, Ning Cheng did not think, and directly moved to the side, while jumping more than a dozen meters away. A loud roar could be heard immediately behind Ning Chengs back, Ning Cheng could even feel the breath of that Monstrous Beast, this one was definitely stronger that the many Monstrous Beasts he had met before. Ning Cheng took out his Flying Sword in his hands and sent out a long sword sh, while gliding his whole body using his Imperial Wind Technique. Falling from a 10,000-meter altitude, his progress using Imperial Wind Technique had increased by leaps and bounds. Ding Dong a sound resonated, as Ning Chengs long Sword Light was directly blocked by a Wind Edge. Ning Cheng was very stable and steady in his mind until that point, he turned around and saw a bewitching monster the size of a calf. The Monstrous Beasts entire body was jet ck, its two eyes glowed with a red light, as if they were two hugenterns. Ning Cheng did not have much contact with Monstrous Beasts, he did not know what exactly the Monstrous Beast in front of him was, but he was sure that the cultivation level of the Monstrous Beast in front of him was definitely higher than him. The Monstrous Beast was at least at the Late Stages of the ss 1 Monstrous Beasts, if he tried to attack it, he definitely knew that he would absolutely be no match for it. Ning Cheng carefully took a step back, he could see a gleam from a ce that was a bit far away, it was obviously from ake in the forest. The red eyed Monstrous Beast seemed to feel that Ning Cheng would a bit difficult to deal with, a few breaths after confronting with Ning Cheng, it suddenly rushed up again. Simultaneously it threw out two Wind Edges from its mouth, these two Wind Edged formed a cross shape, this showed that the Monstrous Beast obviously had a richbat experience. Ning Cheng wanted to retreat towards theke in the forest, but he also knew that the Monstrous Beast in front of him would not let him retreat easily, even if he retreated to the forestke, it would not let it be peaceful. Facing the two Wind Edges thrown out by the Monstrous Beast, Ning Cheng once again took out the Flying Sword to split it, this time he also simrly sent out two long Sword Lights. Ding Ding the Wind Edge of the Monstrous Beast seemed to have substance, and as Ning Chengs long Sword Lights shed together with it, it issued a crisp sound. The strong shock wave that resulted, made Ning Cheng to feel suffocated in his chest. The Monstrous Beast which was blocked by the long Sword Lights of Ning Cheng, immediately became even more angry. And it continued to spew Wind Edges from its mouth, this time Ning Cheng also took the initiative and sted out four me Edges. The power contained in the four me Edges was massive, but the Monstrous Beast could not dodge it because of its size, and sted out 4 Wind Edges, Puff Puff Puff...... continuous muffled sounds emerged, as the four me Edges left four bloody traces on the body of the Monstrous Beast. Seeing the four marks, Ning Chengs heart sank. The four me Edges hitting the body of the Monstrous Beast, only let out some muffled sounds and just a few traces, but did not even cause even the slightest major injury to the Monstrous Beast. The defence of the red eyed Monstrous Beast was just too strong. The red eyed Monstrous Beast roared loudly, and then continued to charge at Ning Cheng, this roar was transmitted to a far distance and was responded with the roar of other Monstrous Beast. This red eyed Monstrous Beast listened to the beast roar from the distance, and actually gave up fighting with Ning Cheng, and quickly turned around to run, and in a sh disappeared in the vast forest. Ning Cheng heaved a sigh, this really was not a good ce. He must find a ce to improve his strength again, otherwise he would not be able toe out of this ce, perhaps he would even be killed off by these Monstrous Beasts. Ning Cheng picked up the Flying Sword, and picked up his speed as he headed out in the direction he had seen the forestke. The surroundings of the Forest Lake were very spacious, and he could calmly arrange a low level defence Array Formation. Even if a higher levelled Monstrous Beast than the red eyed Monstrous Beast from before came, he would have enough time to get away. The forestke was not far from Ning Cheng, and in just a dozen breaths, Ning Cheng arrived at the forestke. Theke had a rough size of several hundred feet in radius, if there was such ake in the outside, it would definitely seem to be thergest. But in these towering forest of trees, it actually does seem to be huge. Ning Cheng walked around theke for about ten feet, but did not find a good ce to take shelter. What he wanted was to find a good ce near theke, but then suddenly the Lake sent out a spout of water that was several feet high. Ning Cheng was shocked, and he hurried back a few meters. But other than the gushing water from theke, there did not seem to be any other abnormalities. Chapter 0044 – Ice Type Magical Techniques Chapter 0044 C Ice Type Magical Techniques That water spout kept spurting for the time of about ten breaths, then once more dropped back into theke. The entireke went back to how it was originally, if not for there being a few ripples on the surface of theke, Ning Cheng could have sworn that his eyes were ying tricks on him. Meanwhile Ning Cheng could clearly feel, that the water spout that was shot out had an extremely rich Spiritual Qi in it, the Spiritual Qi in it was much richer whenpared to the surroundings. Ning Cheng had a feeling from before that this ce was the Daan Forest, so he did not dare to be reckless, regardless of what was at the bottom of theke, with his present cultivation level he definitely could not explore it. If his cultivation level was higher, he would perhaps go down to the bottom of theke to have a look at the situation, but at the moment he did not dare to move from there. Drawing himself away from theke, Ning Cheng found himself in front of a giant tree that had a diameter of nearly 15 meters, he nned to temporarily cultivate in the heart of this giant tree. Back on Earth, there were not many trees having a diameter of even 10 meters, but here, one could find them everywhere, just like water in ake. The one in front of Ning Cheng was not even the thickest, the reason why he decided to cultivate while hiding inside this particr tree, was so that he could directly see the movements that were happening in theke. Ning Cheng also thought that he should begin to make this tree as a nest for himself, after he got to the top of the tree he came to know that this tree already had a huge cavern in its heart. There was a fishy smelling from inside the cavern. He did not know which Monstrous Beast did those remains belonged to. From his perspective, the tree looked hollow, these remains from the Monstrous Beast in the cavern of the tree should not have been from many years before. Ning Cheng cleaned the cavern in the tree in a bit, and also arranged a Concealment Array Formation and an Attack Array Formation around the top entrance of the tree cavern. He did not dare to arrange an Array Formation by the side of theke, the quality and level of his Array Formations was very low, although he could barely understand a Level 2 Array Formation, but with the level of his Array gs that he had refined previously, he could at most arrange only some of the Level 1 Array Formations. Sitting in the tree cavern, Ning Cheng also arranged another Level 1 Concealing Array Formation to hide his Qi, with this he felt a bit relieved. After arranging all the Array Formations, it made Ning Cheng understand that whatever ce it might be, one had to understand a lot of things on their own, the more one was able to understand about their surroundings, the better it would be for their survival. If he did not know about Array Formations, and was simr to what he was in the past, he could only pray that people would not be able to find him here. Now that he had arranged the Array Formations, even if the Monstrous Beasts attacked him, he would know about it before hand. While sitting in the tree cavern, Ning Cheng was able to look at all the changes happening in theke with his own eyes, this enabled him to be at ease as he cultivated, as he could examine the changes in theke at any time without showing himself. Next Ning Cheng took out more than 200 Spirit Stones, as he intended to advance his cultivation to the Late Stages of the Qi Gathering Realm. As Ning Cheng started his cultivation, he once again forgot everything else, he again began to turn the Spirit Stones into powder, as the Qi from the Spirit Stones began to intertwine with the Qi from the Mysterious Yellow Bead and started to constantly wash through his entire body. Ning Cheng could vaguely feel that as his cultivation level was advancing, at the same time, even the quality of his Spiritual Roots was also advancing the same way. Even with the supplement of Qi, Ning Cheng often had to eat something. He also was not able to continue cultivating continuously as he had to carefully guide the Qi flow perfectly, which was also very taxing mentally. As the days passed by, when the Qi in his body had gathered to a certain extent, a soft sound resonated throughout his body, and immediately a strong flow of Qi rushed through all the Meridians in his body. Some impurities were also expelled from his body through the pores on his skin, with the powerful Qi flowing through the medians in his body, Ning Cheng knew that he had finally advanced to the Qi Gathering 5th Level. Ning Cheng heaved a sigh, when he opened his eyes, he found that the Spirit Stones that he had taken out had all been used up. Ridiculous. Ning Cheng said just one word to himself, he had used more than 200 Spirit Stones to advance from the Qi Gathering 4th Level to the Qi Gathering 5th Level, it really showed that his qualifications were really at the bottom. Not only that, the time it took to advance from the Qi Gathering 4th Level to the Qi Gathering 5th Level, he had already used up a month. If this continued, the other remaining Spirit Stones that he had in his possession would absolutely not be enough to even advance to the Qi Gathering 7th Level. Ning Cheng took out the two Jade Pieces that had two Magic Techniques in them, now that he had advanced from the Qi Gathering 4th Level to the Qi Gathering 5th Level, even his Spiritual Sense had more than doubled in strength, he thought that he should now be able to see the contents of the Jade Pieces. He was already running out of Spirit Stones, so he might as well study the Magical Techniques exclusively. Ning Chengs Spiritual Sense did not let him down, as his Spiritual Sense swept through the first Jade Piece that contained a Magical Technique, he could clearly see the contents of the Jade Piece, Profound Grade 36 Ice Spears. Once he could understand the contents of the Jade Piece, Ning Cheng almost broke his contact with it and swore, that son of a bitch Fang knew that he only had a Flying Sword, and he actually gave him a Spear Technique. Although it was a Profound Grade technique, but how would it be useful to him? How could he even get a Spear Type Artefact toplement it, let alone this, this type of technique was also not even suited to his Spiritual Roots. Although it was not easy to obtain these high level Magic Techniques, but he could actually not cultivate it. Although Ning Cheng was very depressed, he still looked at this 36 Ice Spears Technique once again. He did not see anything good, and became even more depressed. Cultivating to thest of the 36 Ice Spears Technique, it can form 36 Ice Spear Lights, these 36 Spear Lights can be interconnected and used to form an Ice Lance, simrly one can even use it to form an Ice Spear Array. Under the shadow of the 36 Ice Spears, ones opponent would not even have the opportunity to get away. This was simply a killing machine. Although this was an extremely precious technique, he could not cultivate it, Ning Cheng sighed as he put the Jade Piece aside, and took out the other Jade Piece that had another Magic Technique. Seeing the several characters from the Jade Piece made Ning Cheng livid, 7 Pleiades Ice Needles. This was also a Profound Grade Technique, but was again an Ice technique. Ning Cheng knew his own Spiritual Roots, he had a three-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Roots C Fire, Wood, and Earth. The present Ning Cheng had a certain understanding about Spiritual Roots, he knew that the Ice Spiritual Root did not belong to his already different Spiritual Roots, those cultivators who had such roots were already focussed on heavily to train. Ice type techniques, only the cultivators who have an Ice Spiritual Root or abination with Ice Spiritual Roots can cultivate such techniques, and only they would have the greatest effect of it. If a cultivator with other types of Spiritual Roots tries to cultivate it, the effect would be really low or in some cases may even harm the user. This 7 Pleiades Ice Needles technique was much more sinister and ruthless, however it also needed a small needle Type Artefact that was thinner than an ox hair, if cultivated to the extreme, this 7 Pleiades Ice Needles technique can even prevent the soul from escaping. It can be used to sneak attack others, and was virtually impossible to guard against by other people. A vicious Magic Technique, but I like it. Ning Cheng thought to himself after he read about it, but his heart was even more depressed. Even if he liked it, how could he even use it? Not to mention that he did not possess an Ice Spiritual Root, even if he did possess an Ice Spiritual Root, and could cultivate the 7 Pleiades Ice Needles Technique, he did not have any needle Type Artefact. Ning Cheng scratched his head in distress, he knew that he could bring out his Spiritual Sense with his cultivation at the Qi Gathering Realm, and it was already very remarkable, but then again he did not know any Magical Techniques,pared to others, he was far worse. The Magic Techniques that he grasped now, in addition to the Wind Edge, it was just the Fireball technique. These were irrelevant to the Spiritual Roots and were just the foundation Magical Techniques, anyone could cultivate them. Besides the me Edge technique that he had derived earlier, he only had a slightly stronger Sword Light, this was only because of the Flying Sword. If he met an opponent with a simrly strong Artefact, his Sword Light would be nothing to speak of. Ning Cheng was thoroughly disappointed with the Magical Techniques that he had received from the Jade Pieces, and came out of the tree cavern. He was already cultivating in the tree cavern for over a month, and was already feeling bored and out of his mind. Standing on the bund near theke once again, Ning Cheng was just getting ready to use the clear water of theke to clean himself, when suddenly he once again saw theke spew out a water spout several feet high into the air, this water spout was exactly the same he had seen a month ago, and it still had a rich Qi in it. The only difference was, it seemed that the water spout was a bit higher than before. After ten breaths, the water column once again dropped down, and theke was once again calmed down. Ning Cheng calcted a little, he quickly discovered that the previous time that the water spout had appeared and the one today were exactly one month apart. So this waterspout was regr, and also had a rich Qi, Ning Cheng wanted to enter theke and see what was causing it, but then realised that he did not have a Magic Technique of his own, and suddenly felt somewhat discouraged. These Profound Grade Techniques, 36 Ice Spears and 7 Pleiades Ice Needle, definitely had an imposing appearance, but how would he be able to learn it? Could he use his Flying Sword in the ce of a Spear? On this Jade Piece, it was mentioned 36 Ice Spears, he could try to cultivate it and change it into 36 Ice Swords. Although his Spiritual Roots did not have an Ice Spiritual Root in them, but he had the Mysterious Yellow Bead, who said that it certainly could not be cultivated? Ning Cheng thought of it, and once again became excited, he directly took out the Flying Sword, and tried to cultivate with the sword as he had no Spear. Who knows, if he could cultivate the 36 Ice Spears to the end. then this Magical Technique would have to change its name to 36 Ice Swords. Although Ning Chengs perception and memory were already unparalleled, but he was worried that with his Spiritual Roots, he would not be able to cultivate the 36 Ice Spears Technique. When he resorted to the Flying Sword, and started to cultivate the 36 Ice Spears Technique, he immediately knew that he wanted to cultivate it more than before. Circting his Qi under the incantations of the 36 Ice Spears Technique, unexpectedly an Icy Sword Light formed without any dy, he discovered that this thick Ice Sword Light and his Spiritual Sense were somewhat simr andbined them without any dy, bringing out a strange Sword Light from his Flying Sword. He was only worried that he did not have an Ice Spiritual Root in his Spiritual Roots, and wanted to see how long he could use his Spiritual Sense to support and control such a thick Sword Light? Pop a sound was heard, because his Spiritual Sense was not enough, the Flying Sword in Ning Chengs hand fell to the ground. Ning Cheng was not surprised but was actually happy, heughed and said, I really have superior qualifications than that of others, and can even master Ice Techniques with ease .......... Although he was excited he did not stop, and praised himself, Ning Cheng actually knew, that he could now cultivate the 36 Ice Spears Techniques and it had nothing to do with his qualifications, it was certainly due to him being rted to the Mysterious Yellow Bead. He even suspected that he had the help from the Mysterious Yellow Origin, he suspected that there was an addition of an Ice Spiritual Root, but he could not test this theory at the moment, as he was not confident about it. Only in the future, if he had the opportunity, he would go up to the Spiritual Root Testing Artefact to test it, to see if he really had one more branch of Ice Spiritual Root. Having the opportunity to cultivate the Magical Techniques, Ning Cheng took great pains to patiently control the Flying Sword, again and again casting the modified version of the 36 Ice Spears that he created. Initially he could only cast out a single Sword Light, but with the constant revision of the 36 Ice Spears Technique in his mind, three dayster, he was able to cast up to three Ice Sword Lights. Five dayster, Ning Cheng was able to cast up to five Ice Sword Lights. But Ning Cheng knew, that with his current cultivation level, five Ice Sword Lights were his limit. If he does not use his Flying Sword, he could then cast two more Sword Lights. But without using his Flying Sword, the Sword Light that he casted would only have a limited power. Thus it could be seen, that the Spiritual Sense was really the good stuff. While cultivating the 36 Ice Spears technique, Ning Cheng would certainly not miss out on the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique. But because he did not have a needle Type Artefact, he could only use his Flying Sword instead. Even when he reced the flying needle with the Flying Sword, Ning Cheng was constantly revising the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle in his head. On the tenth day, Ning Cheng was already skilfully controlling the Flying Sword to attack sneakily. But because the Flying Sword had too much volume, he could notpletely pull off the sneaky part of the attack. Chapter 0045 – A Vicious Person Chapter 0045 C A Vicious Person The ce where Ning Cheng was cultivating was extremely quiet, besides the red eyed Monstrous Beast who had chased Ning Cheng initially, Ning Cheng did not meet any other Monstrous Beasts. However, in the past one month, Ning Cheng had alreadybined together the 36 Ice Spears Techniques and the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique, first he casted the Ice Sword Light, then used another sickle Type Artefact for the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique, concealing it within the Ice Sword Light and using it for a sneak attack. Unfortunately, it was not the true 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique, if he had a needle Type Artefact to perform the real 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique, then even if he were to face a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Qi Gathering Realm, he could dare to fight with them. That hand sickle that he was using, was the Artefact that he had acquired from that Taoist Pu, unfortunately when used with the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique, the performance was only subpar, a far cry from the original one. Even if that was so, Ning Cheng believed that with his present strength,bining the 36 Ice Spears and the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique, an ordinary Qi Gathering Cultivator would not be able to fight against him. On this day, Ning Cheng was still thinking about the sickle Type Artefact in his hand that he had obtained from Taoist Pu, and how could he refine it into a thin needle afterwards, when he heard a soft sound that was transmitted by the wind. Was someoneing? Ning Cheng immediately affirmed that he had not misheard, he could determine that someone definitely wasing. This ce was deep inside the Daan Forest, an average person would absolutely not be able toe to this ce, even a cultivator of the Essence Building Realm would not dare to pass through the Daan Forest alone, what kind of person would dare toe here? The reason why he did not dare to walk out of here, was because his strength was very low, and as such he could not dare to run around recklessly in such a ce. Ning Cheng at that time, first decided to hide in the tree cavern, he had to determine before, if the personing here was an enemy or a friend, he did not want the others to know that he was living in this ce. Ning Cheng did not have to hide and wait for long, when slight, steady sound of footsteps arrived, this made Ning Cheng even more careful. Although there was the sound of the footsteps, but these footsteps sounded extremely calm, and carried a dignified atmosphere with it, obviously those peoples cultivation level was not low, it was at least higher than his own cultivation level. After a dozen breaths, two men and a woman carefully walked over, and appeared in front of theke. Qi Shui, is this theke you spoke about? the speaker was the man in the rear, his head was very small, however he had a robust body, which made people think that he was not bnced. Hearing the questioning of the person, the man in the front with a long beard stopped, pointing to the front of theke that was not far from him he said, Thats right, Fei Chen, this is the Daan Forests Yong Qing Lake. Only a few people know about it, and I am one of them, that is because I have the ability and the skill to cross the Daan Forest. When I passed by here thest time, I had idently found it. Ning Cheng, after listening to those words felt shocked in his heart, he knew about the dangers of the Daan Forest, even Ji Luo Feis aunt did not dare to say that she could cross the Daan Forest by herself. Could this long bearded man really have such an ability? To be able to cross through the Daan Forest? But since Ning Cheng could vaguely perceive the cultivation level of this long bearded guy, he should be a cultivator in the True Condensation Realm. Presumably the man and the woman with him, were also cultivators in the True Condensation Realm. A cultivator of the True Condensation Realm, although their cultivation level was good, but how could he say that he could easily pass through the Daan Forest? Unless he had the map of the Daan Forest. One must know that the Daan Forest is the wall dividing the two continents, only with the safety of the map, can one cross the Daan Forest and arrive at the Yuan Continent from the Ping Continent. Otherwise, one would absolutely be killed by the Monstrous Beasts that roam around in the Daan Forest. Well, if it really is as Qi Shui said, then after we get that thing, we can head back, and go across the Daan Forest to the Yuan Continent together. said the small headed man. I also agree. said the woman in the middle, also with the simr cultivation level as the other two. Now that he had heard the three people speaking with each other, Ning Cheng understood that these three people hade to get something from theke. But he actually did not know what was the thing that they hade for. At this time Ning Cheng did not dare to even make the slightest movement, any one of the three people could easily kill him in a second, once he was discovered, he would just simply die. I already told you, the strange poisonous fog that this thing ejects is highly rich in Poison Qi, so its better if we take the Detoxification Pill first, and then incite enough anger in it that is forced toe up. once it is angered andes up, I and Fei Chen will step forward to attack. Sister Fan Hong will be hiding in the back, once we draw it out of the water, we three will immediately descend to kill it. As long as we do not let it go back into theke, the three of us can absolutely get rid of it. After the long bearded man finished speaking, he took out three pure white pills. He took one of them first, and the remaining two he handed them to the other two cultivators. While his eyes kept staring at the centre of theke. The other two cultivators of the True Condensation Realm grabbed and immediately swallowed the pill, and the woman cultivator who swallowed the pill retreated back a few steps, and hid in the wake of a giant tree. Fei Chen, I will shock it out of theke, you hide along the perimeter, while you are waiting to catch up with me, seal off his path from the back. After the long bearded Qi Shui said those words, he immediately took out a jet ck round bead the size of a fist, then with a flick of his hands, this round bead just like an artillery shell, was shot into theke by him. After a few breaths, a huge crack sound emerged from the bottom of theke, and the hugeke directly exploded, at this moment, you could even see a vortex like hole forming in the middle of theke. AAaaah...... a loud roar could be heard, almost at the same time, a five or six-meter-long dark red Monstrous Beast charged out of the whirlpools eye. Ning Chengs heart shrank, it turned out that this Monstrous Beast was unexpectedly a Flood Dragon. On Earth, this was the stuff of the legends, unexpectedly he saw such a sight today. This Flood Dragon was covered entirely in dark red scales, which seemed to blend harmoniously from the top to the bottom, it was extremely beautiful, even the four giant ws looked like four giant iron rakes. What surprised Ning Cheng was that this Flood Dragon unexpectedly had a single horn on its head. The Flood Dragons entire horn was white, with a length of about a meter, it was positioned in the centre of the head of the Flood Dragon. After this horned Flood Dragon came up, it just swept its tail once, and immediately waves of dozens of feet in radius was whipped up. Theserge waves moved towards the shore,pletely wrecking the nts near to the shore into the ground. Ning Cheng could clearly sense the strong Qi, this was definitely one from the Essence Building Realm, perhaps it was even something that surpassed the Essence Building Realm. For a Monstrous Beast to surpass even the Essence Building Realm, it was probably a ss 4 Monstrous Beast. When he had met that Wen Ji Liu in the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, he had also seen the imposing manner of Ji Luo Feis aunt. But no matter what person hepared it to, their imposing manner could not even bepared to this One Horned Red Flood Dragon in front of him. These three cultivators of the True Condensation Realm daring to challenge this One Horned Red Scaled Flood Dragon, it was just akin to seeking death. No matter how Ning Cheng though, he could only wonder why these three people hade to seek their deaths. Qi Shui, whats going on? This is definitely not the ss 2 Red Poisonous Python, it is clearly a ss 4 One Horned Flood Dragon, how could you make such a mistake...... That small headed cultivator in the True Condensation Realm also could feel the terrible Qi of the One Horned Flood Dragon, and suddenly called out in a panic stricken voice, while simultaneously turning around to run away. Are you kidding me, with just a few cultivators of the True Condensation Realm, you wanted to get rid of a ss 4 Monstrous Beast, if this was not courting death then what was? Ning Cheng was also covered in cold sweat, he did not expect that the ce in which he was cultivating, was the home to a ss 4 Monstrous Beast. He also did not know if this One Horned Flood Dragon even cared about him or not, or if it had simply not discovered him. But Ning Cheng found the probability for such a thing to happen was zero, how could such a Monstrous Beast not be able to sense him? Really, thest time that I came here there definitely was not a One Horned Flood Dragon here. This One Horned Flood Dragon must have gotten rid of the Red Poison Python before, and then took over theke as its own...... the long bearded man also said in panic. Ning Cheng who was watching this from the side felt that this long bearded man did not seem to be very scared, this made him feel very strange about it. If Ning Cheng was also able to feel this point, then even that cultivator called Fei Chen in the True Condensation Realm could also feel it. Not waiting for him to respond, that long bearded man had already retreated behind him, and simultaneously kicked Fei Chens lower back. Originally the True Condensation Cultivator wanted to rapidly retreat, but was kicked in the back, instead of going forward, he immediately fell into the wide open mouth of the One Horned Flood Dragon. The Horned Flood Dragon having food delivered directly to its mouth obviously would not be polite, and directly swallowed the male cultivator of the True Condensation Realm by the name of Fei Chen. After that the long bearded man immediately retreated back once more, after the One Horned Flood Dragon swallowed the man called Fei Chen, he had already arrived to the side of the woman cultivator nearby. At this time this woman cultivator knew that she and the other person were deceived by this long bearded man, and once this long bearded man came over, she immediately took out a Flying Sword. But just as she tried to use the Flying Sword, she immediately fell down powerlessly. Ma Qi Shui, you evil and cruel bastard, we were like brothers, you unexpectedly even poisoned Fei Chen and me...... as this woman cultivator said those words, the long bearded man kicked her body, and sent her flying into the mouth of the One Horned Flood Dragon. That One Honed Flood Dragon did not hesitate even for a bit, after swallowing the woman cultivator, it uttered another burst of roar, and rushed towards the long bearded man. The next moment, a number of blue watery lights were sprayed out from the horn of the One Horned Flood Dragon. At this point the long bearded man unexpectedly took out a round shield, he apparently wanted to block the giant water spray from the Horned Flood Dragon. Bang Bang...... after several sessive hits, the round shield of the long bearded man waspletely broken to bits by the water spewed out by the Horned Flood Dragon. At the same time that the round shield broke apart, the long bearded man threw a bomb on the ground as the long bearded man flew out due to the formidable water spouted by the Horned Flood Drain and directly crashed into a giant tree, spouting several mouthfuls of blood. This one instance, made the face of the long bearded person be as white as a sheet of paper, he apparently did not think that this One Horned Flood Dragon would be this powerful. But this time, however he did not choose to escape, but instead took out a four winged sword Artefact, apparently he wanted to fight the One Horned Flood Dragon with it. At this time, the giant flood dragon suddenly issued a loud roar, and unexpectedly dropped in front of the long bearded man, endlessly rolling on the ground. In the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the original giant One Horned Flood Dragon rolled into a huge hole. Some of the giant trees near the dragon waspletely destroyed by the powerful force from the dragon, while emitting countless cracking sounds. Ning Cheng suddenly came to understand, while sighing darkly in his heart that this man named Ma Qi Shui was quite sinister and ruthless. This guy hade with twopanions, and even gave everyone a Detoxifying Pill, but the fact was that this Detoxifying Pill was an extremely fierce and terrifying poison. When the two cultivators who had already eaten the poisonous pill were swallowed by the One Honed Flood Dragon, the poison waspletely transferred to the One Horned Flood Dragon. The One Horned Flood Dragon also understood the situation, rolling to the side, it simultaneously fled towards the side of theke. It looked like it wanted to enter into theke to detoxify the poison from its body. The long bearded person simrly understood that time was very essential, he did not give any thought to his injury, and directly grasped the four winged sword Artefact with his hand, and approached the One Horned Flood Dragon. Chapter 0046 – The Land Of Cultivation Chapter 0046 C The Land Of Cultivation The long bearded man gathered the entire Qi in his body for his attack, the Four Winged Flying Sword Artefact shot out a Sword Light that was nearly 10 feet long, before this Sword Light, the Sword Light brought out by Ning Cheng were totally iparable. Before when Ning Cheng used his Flying Sword, although he could bring out a Sword Light, and although it seemed to be a bit longer, butpared to the Sword Light in front of him, it wasnt even remotely simr. The Sword Light from the Four Winged Flying Sword directly stabbed into the neck of the One Horned Flood Dragon, when the Sword Light and the scales of the One Horned Flood Dragon collided with each other it caused sparks to fly in all directions, creating sounds that resembled irons shing. The Sword Lightpletely dispersed after that, but the neck of the One Horned Flood Dragon, that was just stabbed, did not even have a scratch on it. But it seemed that the long bearded man anticipated that his Sword Light wouldnt be able to break through the scales on the neck of the One Horned Flood Dragon, as such even after that previous Sword Light, he unexpected followed up with another three equally powerful Sword Lights. Poof...... when the fourth Sword Light from the long bearded man pierced the neck of the One Horned Flood Dragon, a piece of the scale on the One Horned Flood Dragons neck was directly cracked open exposing the soft neck below it, while at the same time its blood shot out like an arrow from the wound. Ning Cheng could see that the blood spurting from the wound was purplish red in colour, one could see that the two poisonous pills that he had given to the two people from before were terrifying to the extreme. When the neck of the One Horned Flood Dragon was punctured, the One Horned Flood Dragon started to shake like crazy, and swept out its huge tail without any warning. Because the long bearded man had already used up his Qi in the several consecutive strikes with the Sword Light and moreover was not even at the Essence Building Realm, this time when the One Honed Flood Dragon swept out its huge tail, he simply had no way of escaping, and was directly hit with it on his waist. The long bearded man spurted out bloody arrows from his mouth, and was swept away once again by the One Horned Flood Dragon, and hit another giant tree in a distance. Ning Cheng could hear the sound of bones cracking from the entire body of the long bearded man. Ning Cheng in his heart thought that he really deserved it, this kind of guy who would betray his friends in such a manner, was someone who he despised the most. It would be best if the One Horned Flood Dragon would also swallow that guy. The One Horned Flood Dragon, under the effect of the poison, with its neck broken open, could only use its tail to attack with thest bit of consciousness that it could gather before dying. After it swept out towards the long bearded man with its tail, it started to slow down, after trembling for a bit, itpletely stopped. The long bearded man who had just fallen to the ground took out a ck bottle, and after pouring its contents into his mouth, slowly stood up. Haha, I, Ma Qi Shui had been nning this for nearly two years, I finally seeded today ...... heughed as blood still dripped from the corners of his mouth, but his eyes, beyond a doubt, revealed his excitement. Is that so? Then I should say that, I waited for two months, and finally seeded today. Ning Chengs voice immediately made the long bearded man to stopughing abruptly, he did not think that in this ce there were still someone who dared to stay. Then he immediately saw Ning Cheng jump down from a giant tree. When Ma Qi Shui saw Ning Cheng, he understood his own situation instantaneously, he had be happy too early. At this point of time his heart was filled with endless regret, he regretted that he did not look for others beforeing here, he did not even bother to look if someone was here previously. If he had paid even a little more attention, he would never have this kind of result. But he soon calmed down, staring at Ning Cheng he said with a cold voice, Although I am severely wounded already, if I am really desperate to attack, you who are a mere Qi Gathering 5th Level are still not qualified enough to put you in my eyes. The One Horned Flood Dragons skin, we can split it half, one half for me and the other half for you, and then we go our separate ways. Since Ning Cheng was already thinking about acquiring the map of the Daan Forest, he already decided to absolutely not engage in trade with this person. However, he knew that if could not acquire the map, then he could not walk out of here. I heard that you have the map of the Daan Forest, give me your map, and then maybe we could talk about something else. Ning Cheng said emotionlessly. All right. Ma Qi Shui finished saying and reached out into his Storage Bag on his waist with his hands. Ning Cheng did not wait for the other party to take out the map, and already took out the Flying Sword in his hands and immediately produced five thick Ice Sword Lights, I also heard that at the bottom of theke there is a Spiritual Essence Spring? Even if there is no Spiritual Essence Spring, this young master still wants to kill you. At the moment the long bearded man waspletely defenceless. Puff Puff Puff...... the five thick Ice Sword Lights directly pierced through Ma Qi Shuis chest, giving rise to five spurts of blood from the wounds, these five blood spurts, the moment they came out, immediately froze into blood ice. You...... Ma Qi Shui unwillingly pointed his face towards Ning Cheng, he really did not even n to begin his scheme, when this Qi Gathering 5th Level bastard took the opportunity to attack. He really did not understand, why Ning Cheng did not even wait for him to take out the map before doing anything else. Ning Cheng once again swept out a Sword Light from the Flying Sword in his hands, and loped off Ma Qi Shuis head which like a football, was swept away. Ning Chengs time here did not add up to even six months, but his cultivation level was soaring up in a straight line. Since Ma Qi Shui was putting his hand onto his Storage Bag to take out something, without even seeing the stuff from his Storage Bag, he just went ahead and killed him as he felt that he was up to no good, he also feared that there probably was no map. Moreover, if this Ma Qi Shui had lied to him, even if he forced the other party to make a copy for him, he estimated that the other party would not make the real map. Moreover, with the kind of injuries that Ma Qi Shui had, even if he wanted to make a map, he would not be able to. After Ning Cheng killed Ma Qi Shui, he first arrived at the side of Ma Qi Shui, grasped his Storage Bag and threw it into his own Storage Bag. While simultaneously throwing several fireballs, turning Ma Qi Shui into ash. Tiding up Ma Qi Shui, Ning Cheng then returned next to the One Horned Flood Dragon which was killed by the poison from Ma Qi Shui, at this time the One Horned Flood Dragon was surrounded in a big pond of ck blood. A fishy odour assaulted his nostrils, making Ning Cheng immediately feel a wave of dizziness. So strong, Ning Cheng was secretly startled in his heart. He had just caught a whiff of the odour, and was already feeling dizzy from it. Ning Cheng quickly took out a cloth and covered his nose and mouth, then approached the One Horned Flood Dragon. Even though Ning Cheng did not know what materials would be needed for refining, but he knew that the entire body of the One Horned Flood Dragon was a treasure. A ss 4 Monstrous Beast would have a monster core, but he just didnt know what this One Horned Flood Dragon ate so much, to be able to form a monster core. Next Ning Cheng took the Four Winged Flying Sword Artefact that was embedded in the One Horned Flood Dragon, then taking out his own Flying Sword, he proceeded to break open the One Horned Flood Dragons skin. The hard skin underneath made Ning Cheng understand that he had overestimated his own strength, he was only at Qi Gathering 5th Level, he could simply not cut the skin of the Monstrous Beast with his present strength, obviously this One Horned Flood Dragons skin was hard. This Flood Dragons body was highly toxic, Ning Cheng did not dare to put this thing into his Storage Bag, moreover he did not know if his Storage Bag could even hold the One Horned Flood Dragon. Fortunately, this ce did not have any other people besides him, this One Horned Flood Dragon was just killed, although the smell of its blood had already scattered, but the blood still had a highly toxic odour. The sense of smell of a Monstrous Beast was quite sharp, thus no Monstrous Beast would approach a ce which extruded such a strong toxic odour. Ning Cheng spent exactly two days, just to peel off a little bit of the Flood Dragons skin, also taking out the Flood Dragons horn and the Flood Dragons muscles, he put it into his Storage Bag. Especially the Flood Dragons horn, Ning Cheng had decided to find someone to refine it into a needle Type Artefact for the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique. Once he had the needle Type Artefact for the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique, he could cast his technique with its most powerful form. He did not find the core of the Flood Dragon, he did not know if that the core of the Flood Dragon had already melted after it died, this alone made the Flood Dragon to fall from a ss 4 Monstrous Beast. After handling these things, Ning Chengpletely burnt down the head of the Flood Dragon, and then buried the rest of the burnt residue in an empty ce. After Ning Cheng finished reorganizing, although it still looked to be in total disorder, it was much better than before. Although he had made a small fortune, Ning Cheng did not chose to return to the tree cavern to cultivate. But rather first jumped onto theke water. ording to the words of the long bearded man, theke had a Spiritual Essence Spring inside it. The reason why this One Horned Flood Dragon had upied thiske, was because of this Spiritual Essence Spring. Now that the One Horned Flood Dragon who was the overlord of theke had been killed, him entering theke would certainly not be dangerous. In fact, what Ning Cheng guessed was not wrong, after he entered theke waters, he could easily swim to the bottom of theke and arrived next to a huge pile of rocks without any difficulty. A hint of strong Qi was escaping from the huge rocks, Ning Cheng was easily able to find a huge cavern within the groupings of the huge rocks. This cave was the ce where the One Horned Flood Dragon cultivated, now that the One Horned Flood Dragon had already disappeared, Ning Cheng did not have to worry of facing anything dangerous, and directly swam into the huge rock cavern. The water in the cavern was getting lower and lower as he swam forward, after Ning Cheng swam to the back of the cavern, he found that one could even walk inside. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he had already left the water in the cavernpletely, when a ray of light appeared in front of him. Ning Cheng looked in marvel at a pair of giant pearls, this pair of giant pearls were glowing, if one had obtained such a thing on Earth, it would have caused a stir worldwide. Even if it was not the Earth, if it was this ce, this pair of glowing pearls were also priceless. A slight breeze was blowing inside the cave, Ning Cheng immediately understood that this cave was connected to a ce outside. Ning Cheng again walked about 10 meters into the cave, an artificial pond of around ten feet in diameter appeared in front of him, a fountain was gushing out in the centre of this artificial pond. An aura rich in Qi was escaping from this artificial pond, Ning Cheng did not know if this was the Spirit Essence Spring that the long bearded man talked about. Next to this little Spiritual Essence Spring, there was a t stone almost the same size of the pond itself, the stone waspletely worn smooth. Ning Cheng did not need to guess, he knew that this t piece of stone was the ce where the One Horned Flood Dragon cultivated. This was because the One Horned Flood Dragon had arge body, by continuously coiling around its body, which was several feet long, it hadpletely worn down the t rock. So this really was the Spirit Essence Spring, this made Ning Chengs heart to pound loudly. Even when he had obtained more than 500 Spirit Stones, he was not this excited. Here not only was it a great ce to cultivate, he even had a constant Qi source. Spirit Stones were expendable goods, moreover he did not have many of them, in this ce he could cultivate quietly, this was the cold hard truth, it was no wonder that the One Horned Flood Dragon could cultivate to the level of a ss 4 Monstrous Beast. Unfortunately, even though the One Horned Flood Dragon cultivated to such a level, its experience was poor, otherwise with its strength, even if there were dozens of people like the long bearded man, it would still not be enough to even scratch it. Ning Cheng walked some distance around the cave again, and discovered no other things there. There was only a breezeing from somewhere above, then after circting once, it returned once again. Ning Cheng decided to make this cave his base for cultivation in the first instance, but he was not in a hurry to start his cultivation, rather he once again returned to the giant group of rocks at the bottom of theke. Using the Flying Sword to cut them apart, in only a short time, he had the entrance to the cavepletely blocked. Because the One Horned Flood Dragon had a high level of strength so it did not need to block the entrance, as no other Monstrous Beast woulde to snatch the Spirit Essence Spring from it, but it was not possible for Ning Cheng to do the same. As his cultivation was too weak, only at a mere Qi Gathering 5th Level. Chapter 0047 – The Overlord Of A Region Chapter 0047 C The Overlord Of A Region After blocking the original entrance to the underwater cavern, Ning Cheng was still not greatly assured about his safety, and also arranged a simple Defensive Array Formation, and then once again returned to the Spiritual Essence Spring. Ning Cheng did not take out the materials that he had piged from the One Horned Flood Dragon. He knew nothing about how to refine them, especially the horn of the Flood Dragon, he nned to find a person to refine it into a thin needle shaped Artefact for him to use. At this point of time, Ning Cheng took out the Storage Bag that he had acquired from the long bearded man, what he wanted to know was if the long bearded man really had the map of the Daan Forest with him. The long bearded man must have used the Storage Bag ording to what An Yi had said, it should rather be actually called a Storage Pocket, as the space inside it was very small. There were also very few things in it, besides a few low level Spiritual Grasses which could easily be found outside, there were still several unknown pills, he was not able to ascertain what kinds of pills they were as he could not clearly see the contents of the jade bottle in which they were stored, other than those, it did not have anything else. The most precious thing that the long bearded person had, should be the four winged Flying Sword which Ning Cheng had snatched away previously. Ning Cheng after going through the contents of the Storage Bag of the long bearded man conveniently threw it back into his own Storage Bag, but was a bit disappointed in his heart. He could not find the map, that is to say, in the future he could only rely on his ability and strength to get out of the Daan Forest. The long bearded man had said before that he could cross the Daan Forest by himself, he knew that this was not a lie to deceive other people, he suspected that he had already recorded the map to safely pass through the forest in his head. ...... He had not been cultivating for many years, being in the situation with the Spiritual Essence Spring in front of him, Ning Cheng almost employed all his time into improving his cultivation. The usage of the Spiritual Essence Spring by Ning Cheng and the One Horned Flood Dragon were clearly different, the One Horned Flood Dragon also knew that it could notpletely absorb the rich Qi that was emanating from the Spiritual Essence Spring. But as Ning Cheng had already killed the goose thatid the golden egg, he feared that he could only absorb just a little bit of it before it disappears, just how could he economise the usage? One monthter, Ning Cheng advanced to the Qi Gathering 6th Level, three monthster, Ning Cheng broke through to the Middle Stage of the Qi Gathering Realm, advancing to the Qi Gathering 7th Level. At this time the Qi in his body had already formed into a stream, just like the powerful undtions that came from the cultivators in the Essence Building Realm, the Qi in his body felt iparably powerful. Five monthster, Ning Cheng advanced to the Qi Gathering 8th Level, at the same time he decided to leave the almost used up Spiritual Essence Spring. The rich Qi inside the Spiritual Essence Spring had almost been consumedpletely, for it to gather this kind of rich Qi in the Spiritual Essence Spring again, he estimated that it would take at least 3 years for that to happen. Ning Cheng believed that one would not stay here waiting for three years, he was already at the Qi Gathering 8th Level, and would soon advance in rank to enter the Qi Gathering 9th Level. Once he reached the Qi Gathering 9th Level, then he would have to face the issue of advancing into the True Condensation Realm. In the Ping Continent, a True Condensation Realm cultivator was rarely seen, because of the poor Qi sources and the Spiritual Root issues, advancing to the True Condensation Realm was very hard. Transformation of Qi is something that a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 9th Level has to achieve in order to advance to the True Condensation Realm, Ning Cheng saw from the Jade Piece that Fang Jiyan had given him that some people just stagnate and be contented with just being in the True Condensation Realm, but Ning Cheng certainly was not that type of a person. To him being promoted to the True Condensation Realm was still really insignificant. To advance to the True Condensation Realm really needed more than ten kinds of precious Spiritual Grasses, however the most important thing, and also the most difficult to get out of those was the Golden Cicada Fruit. As Ning Cheng already had the Golden Cicada Fruit, he decided to get out of here and try to find someone who could refine it into a True Condensation Pill. ...... Ning Cheng obviously thought that this matter was a bit too simple, Daan Forest or not, because he had already advanced to the Qi Gathering 8th Level he would have to find his own path out of here. For the entire month, Ning Cheng still remained around the edge of theke. It was not that he did not want to go out, but during this months time, Ning Cheng discovered that each region in the Daan Forest was under the protection of a powerful Monstrous Beast. Looking for a way out during this period, he had met more than ten ss 2 Monstrous Beasts, there were even two times where he met a ss 3 Monstrous Beast. If he did not ran away fast, those ss 3 Monstrous Beasts would have chased him down to kill him, and then he would have no way to remain near the fresh waterke. However, Ning Cheng was not without a harvest, the various Monstrous Beasts tacitly approved to not approach the fresh waterke making it so that the fresh waterke became his territory by default, this was because Ning Cheng had killed numerous ss 2 Monstrous Beasts which served as a deterrence to the other Monstrous Beasts. Ning Cheng was now at the Qi Gathering 8th Level, as such now he could cast 12 Sword Lights of the 36 Thick Ice Swords Technique that he had modified previously. This was however not his biggest gain, his greatest gain was his cultivation of Qi Gathering 8th Level, which allowed him step on his Flying Sword and fly for a short distance. Tapping into the Flying Sword methods that Ning Cheng had modified from the Jade Pieces he had obtained from Fang Jiyan, made Ning Cheng very satisfied with himself. In the Ping Continent, even some cultivators of the True Condensation Realm could not use the Flying Swords to fly, but now he, who was at the Qi Gathering 8th Level had already achieved it. Even though Ning Cheng knew that a high cultivation level was needed to ride the Flying Swords, when he finally stepped onto the Flying Sword and started to fly truly, his heart was beyond excited. Before when he had shot the Fireballs and the Wind Edges for the first time, he did not experience this much excitement. Fortunately, Ning Cheng was also aware of his own capabilities, he clearly wanted to fly out of the Daan Forest, but he knew that his cultivation level was too poor to achieve that. In a months time, Ning Cheng had already killed hundreds of ss 1 Monstrous Beasts. He constantly looked for a way out, as a result constantly had to pass through the territories of other Monstrous Beasts, this also caused him to repeatedly fight with the other Monstrous Beasts. At one point, he had even killed dozens of ss 1 Demon Wolves. Using the Profound Grade 36 Thick Ice Swords to kill those Demon Wolves, it was almost like a simple wheat harvest. During this time, Ning Cheng also found out a pattern, if he passed by the territory of a ss 3 Monstrous Beast, if the ss 3 Monstrous Beasts cultivation level was too far from his, that ss 3 Monstrous Beast would just be toozy to even bother with him. But if he were to pass through the territory of the Monstrous Beast whose cultivation level was almost the same as his, it would ultimately lead to a fight. After working out the pattern, Ning Cheng finally understood why he was able stay for so long near the fresh waterke, it was because the One Horned Flood Dragon just didnt take any notice of him. It originally regarded him as a dispensable tiny ant, after Ning Cheng experienced these things, he understood that all the lower levelled Monstrous Beasts that came within the scope of the high levelled Monstrous Beast were just regarded as lunches for them. If this high levelled Monstrous Beast wanted to eat them as its lunch, it could just do it anytime it wanted. In other words, before when he tried to survive near the Freshwater Lake for two months, in fact he was actually regarded as a lunch for the One Horned Flood Dragon. Once the One Horned Flood Dragon decided toe out, it could always be able to get rid of him easily. On the contrary, if his cultivation level was almost the same as the Monstrous Beast, the Monstrous Beast would think that he hade to snatch his domain, and would immediatelye out to protect its domain from being encroached by others. It was because he knew about this point, Ning Cheng did not hesitate to ruthlessly kill the Monstrous Beasts that approached the freshwaterke. ording to thew of the jungle, he can absolutely never give the Monstrous Beasts the illusion that those Monstrous Beast can easily bully him. In this one month of ughtering, Ning Chengsbat experience and his mastery over the two kinds of techniques advanced by leaps and bounds. With his current experience, if he was still at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level and had the Flying Sword, he absolutely would not be injured. After Ning Cheng spent his time crazily killing the Monstrous Beasts, many of the Monstrous Beasts around the freshwaterke already got to know about Ning Chengs aggressiveness, and knew that he did not show any mercy or consideration. Later on, as long as Ning Cheng did not stay for a long time in their range, the Monstrous Beasts were not willing toe out and fight Ning Cheng, and would directly allow Ning Cheng to pass by their territory. To Ning Cheng, even if he wanted to leave the fresh waterke, he could not find a way out of this ce, and it would definitely not be a good thing for him. At least in the area of the fresh waterke, he was the overlord of the ce. ...... Whir Whir....... At this time a Brown Bristled Bear was facing Ning Cheng and let out a muffled sound, but it did not dare to pounce on Ning Cheng. It had roared at Ning Cheng, because Ning Cheng had once againe into his territory, and moreover he also stayed in his territory for a long time. This Brown Bristled Bear was an Early Stage ss 2 Monstrous Beast, it had already been defeated twice by the hands of Ning Cheng, fortunately those two times Ning Cheng was just passing through its territory. But this guy, who was troublesome in its eyes, unexpectedly came here once again, moreover he did not walk away immediately, and was even digging around in his territory. Go to hell, I am just looking for a piece of maic iron to walk around, you really talk too much, dont me me if I use my hands. Ning Cheng waved his Flying Sword in his hands as he shouted those words while he stabbed towards the Brown Bristled Bear. He had reallye here to look for a piece of maic iron, he still had more than 300 Low Grade Spirit Stones on him, Ning Cheng felt that even though he had more than 300 Low Grade Spirit Stones it still would not be enough for him to advance to the Qi Gathering 9th Level. Whats more, he would have to go out to look for someone who could create a True Condensation Pill for him. Even after more than a month, as he could not find a way out, he decided that he had to find a piece of maic iron so that he could use it to make apass. Ning Cheng guessed that this ce should also be a, that resembled a big ma. He wanted something to help him pinpoint a fixed position, as long as he could follow a single direction, he would eventually walk out of this ce one day. Even if thepass that he made pointed to the south, it wouldnt influence him at all. This ss 2 Bristle Bear did not know that Ning Cheng was looking for a piece of maic iron, and once more roared at Ning Cheng, it wanted Ning Cheng to get out of his territory as fast as possible. Ning Cheng saw that this Bristle Bear was unable toprehend what he said, it was just simply offering itself to be sacrificed to his Flying Sword, and prepared to begin. At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps transmitted, it seems as if someone was rushing over from the side. Ning Cheng immediately gave up the idea to fight the Bristle Bear with his hands, and stared at the person who had just rushed out. It was a young man whose entire body was covered with injuries, and his Qi was almost negligent, one couldnt even see if he was a cultivator or not. When he saw Ning Cheng, his eyes suddenly lit up, however he immediately fell to the ground because of exhaustion. Senior...... although he fell to the ground, this young man had not fainted, and still looked at Ning Cheng with a bit of hope, he apparently hoped that Ning Cheng woulde to his rescue. This young man had just fallen to the ground, when a ck Wolf Monstrous Beast immediately came over. This ck Wolf was already at the pinnacle of the ss 1 Monstrous Beasts, after it had caught up with its target it first saw the Flying Sword in the hands of Ning Cheng, almost at the same time it saw Ning Cheng, this ck Wolf Monstrous Beast immediately turned around, and in just two breaths time, it had already run into the depths of the forest, disappearing from his sight. Ning Cheng did not care about the ck Wolf that had escaped, he subconsciously touched his face, while in his heart he thought did he look really old? Why would a person older than him call him a Senior? One needs to know that he was a bit less than 18 years of age. His hands touched the beard on his face, which made Ning Cheng guess that he perhaps looked like an uncle which had experienced the vicissitudes of life. Ning Cheng took out a Jade Bottle and gave it to the man lying on the ground and said, I do not have any lifesaving Elixirs, but only a little water, you can drink a little of it. Although Ning Cheng said that he only had a little water, the clear water that he had was actually notmon water, it was taken from the Spiritual Essence Spring, and still had a rich Qi in it. This young man looked in fear at the distant ce where the Bristled Bear was rather than at Ning Cheng, but in his eyes there seemed to be some hope, when Ning Cheng handed him his water he did not answer, but immediately took out a package and gave it Ning Cheng and said, I cannot go on, please help me deliver this package to the Hua Continents Falling Star 5 Star Academys Meng Yu Jing, let her give it to my younger brother Kou Xiu Yuan, just say that this was given to you by Kou Hong....... Chapter 0048 – A Pair Of Pearl Hair Clips Chapter 0048 C A Pair Of Pearl Hair Clips Stop, youre kidding me right, I cant even get out of the Daan Forest, how can I even leave the continent? Sorry, but once you recover, you can go ahead by yourself. Ning Cheng refused without even hesitating, the continent where he was, he was very clear about it. Not to mention that he could not even get out of the Daan Forest, even if could leave the Daan Forest, he would not be able to get out of the Ping continent. When this young man heard the words of Ning Cheng, his eyes immediately showed anxiety, and even his expression became urgent, My Qi Meridians are already broken, my Dantian is also crushed, there is no way for me to cultivate Qi. I have the map...... When the young man said the word map, the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood, even his tone was breaking up. But Ning Cheng spirit was greatly lifted, You really have a map to get out of the Daan Forest? The young man apparently did not have the strength to exin anything to Ning Cheng, he tremblingly took out a leather roll from inside his clothes and said, This leather roll is the map, inside it has the Command Medallion of the Clear Sky 5 Star Academy of the Hua Continent, with this you could easily enter the Clear Sky Academy, I am giving it you, I beg you please be sure to deliver that wrapped package into the hands of my fiance Meng Yu Jing...... After saying those words, this young man really was not able to support himself, he once again slightly raised his head to look at Ning Cheng before letting it fall to the ground. When Ning Cheng heard that it really was the map that he desperately wanted, he immediately stepped forward to grab the leather roll and said, If I ever have the opportunity to go to the Hua Continent, I will certainly repay the favour. As if he heard themitment of Ning Cheng, this young man heaved a sigh of relief, and drew hisst breath. Ning Cheng was gloomy in his heart, in this ce, life was just like a bubble of soap, which could be easily broken. This young man called Kou Hong, wasnt he his own portrayal? If someday he also ended up dying like this, who would he fondly remember at that moment? Ning Ruo Lans lovely and cute face appeared in front of his eyes, Ning Cheng sighed, in his entire life here, he may not even get the opportunity to see his little sister. Ning Cheng suddenly became even more sad, he did not go ahead and look at the leather parchment roll and the package that was given to him by the young man, he just picked up the young man, turned around and quickly left the Brown Bristle Bears territory. Seeing Ning Cheng leave, the Brown Bristled Bear felt relieved, it turned around and returned to itsir. ...... Ning Cheng returned to the perimeter of the freshwater Lake, buried the young man by the side of theke, erected a simple tombstone, and wrote a few simple words on the tombstone, The grave of Kou Hong. The reason why he helped Kou Hong by putting up a tombstone, was because Ning Cheng in his heart saw his own future the same as him, plus it was also a thanks to Kou Hong who had left him the map. Ning Cheng did not open the wrapped parcel that he had received from Kou Hong, however he swept through it with his Spiritual Sense, it appeared to be a jet ck wooden box, in addition to that, there was a letter and a Storage Bag. He assumed that Kou Hong wrote this letter for his fiance Meng Yu Jing, he just did not know why Kou Hong did not ce all these things in the Storage Bag. It seems that it was not an option for Kou Hong, if Kou Hong had a choice, he would certainly not give these things to a stranger. Putting the package into his own Storage Bag, Ning Cheng took out the leather skin map. Opening the map, sure enough he saw a Command Medallion. He did not know what material the Command Medallion was made of, but it already looked very old. There was a carving of two characters on the emblem Clear Sky, presumably this emblem was the admission voucher to enter the Clear Sky 5 Star Academy. Ning Cheng was not very interested in entering the Academy, mainly because his Spiritual Roots were always changing, he did not dare to enter the Academy where they would repeatedly test his Spiritual Roots. When Ning Cheng opened the leather skin map, he immediately came to understand that he could finally exit this ce. For him, this map, was simply too perfect, an extremely detailed route was marked on it, moreover even the territories of several high levelled Monstrous Beasts were also marked in detail on it. There were evenbels of the Monstrous Beast on their marked territories, however the highest ranking Monstrous Beast that was marked on it was just a ss 2 Monstrous Beast, this level of Monstrous Beast simply did not pose a threat to Ning Cheng. Not only that, but the map also included a lot of references. With the help of this map, Ning Cheng could easily find where exactly he was in this kind of ce, he was currently in the territory of a low levelled Monstrous Beast in the Daan Forest. There were even a few ces marked, where even ss 5 Monstrous Beasts would frequently appear. That was not all there was to this map, there were also routes on the map that one could walk to go to the Yuan Continent. Between the Yuan Continent and the Ping Continent was a vast and endless desert, this map even had a rmended route through it, however it did not have any frame of reference, as such one would need have a Direction te to find his bearings. Ning Cheng did not have a Direction te, but for him it was not important, as he still did not want to go out of the Ping Continent at the moment. From the map in his hands, although the ce he was, was in the Daan Forest, but it was far from the depths of the Daan Forest. He wasnt very far from the Ping Continent from his position, on the contrary, if he wanted to go to the Yuan Continent, the journey was more than a dozen times longer than that to the Ping Continent. From Ning Chengs viewpoint, he does not even want to return to the Ping Continent, but rather he wanted to go to the Yuan Continent to have a look. After all, not only the Yuan Continent was near to the Hua continent, but the Hua Continent was also considered to a Quasi-Intermediate ss Continent. After thinking it over, Ning Cheng decided to first pay a visit to the Nan Yuan City of the Ping Continent. Nan Yuan City was the real capital of the Ming Ye Country. moreover, the Clear Heart Academy was also in that ce. The reason why Ning Cheng decided to take the risk and go to that ce, was because he still had some worries about An Yi. Although those people treated An Yi as a princess in general, it was because An Yi had said that she had a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root. However, if An Yi identally tested out to not have a Pure Spiritual Root, then what would happen to her? After he arrived in this world, he had spent the longest time with An Yi. Moreover, An Yi had also graciously saved his life, in his heart, he had already regarded An Yi as one of his closest person. If there was no one to take care of An Yi, then for a single person to stay alone in the Nan Yuan City, in the end their fate would be absolutely tragic and pathetic. Of course his cultivation level being too low was also one of the reasons for not going to the other Continents, other than that, Ning Cheng wanted to go to the Nan Yuan City to look for a way to change the Golden Cicada Fruit into a True Condensing Pill. If he could advance to the True Condensation Realm, so if he wanted to pass through the Daan Forest again, then his safety would be more guaranteed. ...... With the help of the map, Ning Cheng became extremely familiar with his surroundings, and in just two days, Ning Cheng had alreadye out of the Daan Forest. At this time Ning Cheng was no longer the same person who had just escaped from the Cang Le City, he did not even shave off his beard. Coming out of the Cang Qin Province, along with the hardships he faced in the Daan Forest from time to time, Ning Cheng simply did not look like a teenager, rather he looked like an adventurer who had gone through a lot. There was a continuous mountain range outside the Daan Forest, Ning Cheng did not take out his Flying Sword to fly during the day, instead he concealed his cultivation level to appear at Qi Gathering 4th Level. Even if he wanted to ride his sword, it was something that he did only at night. An Yi was in the Nan Yuan City, but Nan Yuan City also was the ce where Lan Yin Yue resided. He and Lan Yin Yue had a great enmity between them, with his current cultivation, he was not a match against Lan Yin Yue. The reason why he had not shaved off his beard, was precisely to make him look older. This trip to the Nan Yuan City, he absolutely could not let his acquaintances recognize him. A dayter, Ning Cheng met a team of adventurers near the edge of the Daan Forest, Ning Cheng bought a map of the Ming Ye Country from these adventurers. Ning Chengs Qi was limited, intermittently flying through the night on his Flying Sword had already made him tired, but during the day he just walked faster to recover his Qi. So after walking and flying alternatively, almost a half a monthter, Ning Cheng arrived at the outskirts of the Nan Yuan City. Ning Cheng although did not disguise himself as an adventurer, but because of his long stay in the Daan Forest, having to constantly fend off against the Monstrous Beasts, along with his beard, he simply did not even need to make the effort, as he already had the image of a battle hardened adventurer. Compared to the Cang Le City and the Mingot City, the Nan Yuan City was magnificentlyrge. Ning Cheng waspletely unable to fathom how long were the walls of Nan Yuan City extended, the huge gate that led to the city exuded an extreme vicissitude of life. Wherever he looked, it only showed the long history of the Nan Yuan City. Was this really the capital of the Ming Ye Country, Ning Cheng was secretly wondering in his heart, if this was the ce where the legendary 9 Star Academy was located, he just could not get a handle on the extent of this huge and magnificent city. There were many people passing through those huge gates, there were two teams of City Guards ced on either side of the gate, which clearly demonstrated the strength of the city. On the outside of the city walls, there was a piece of eye catching announcement. Ning Cheng nced at it from a distance, written on it was apparently the matter about the recruitment of students into the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy. There were not many people in front of the notice, so it was obvious that the notice was pasted there a long time ago. Ning Cheng wanted to have a look at the contents of the announcement, but he held back his curiosity. If at this time he went to see the contents of the announcement, he would definitely be seen as someone who came here for the first time. He only took a nce at the announcement, and followed the numerous people together into the Nan Yuan City, after entering through the gates, he was not subjected to being questioned by the city guards. Ning Cheng imagined that there would be more people in Nan Yuan City, and it would be almost crowded everywhere. Compared to the Cang Le City, Nan Yuan City was very orderly, at least no one dared to ride a horned beast and dashed wildly through the streets. On both sides of the streets stalls, shops, restaurants and the others kinds of entertainment areas werepletely packed with people, it was like arge avenue, which was bustling with excitement. Ning Cheng felt that the majority of the people on the streets were ordinary, although there were some cultivators among them, but their cultivation level was not very high. He rxed a bit, thinking that as Lan Yin Yue had an exceptional background, she would not go onto the streets and rub shoulders with ordinary people. What a beautiful pearl hair clip...... A crisp sound attracted the attention of Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng turned his head to see a young girl wearing an ordinary sarong robe standing in front of a stall, while looking at the pearl hair clip in her hands with admiration. When Ning Chengs eyes fell onto the pearl hair clip in her hands, he was suddenly startled, immediately taking a step forward, he picked up another pearl hair clip from the stall with his hands, it was exactly the same. How much does it cost? Ning Cheng grabbed the pearl hair clip and asked the owner of the stall, while he stared at the other pearl hair clip in the hands of the young girl. These pearl hair clips originally appeared to be a pair, this young girl wearing the sarong robe was holding one, so Ning Cheng could only obtain one of them, of course he wanted to certainly buy the full pair of the pearl hair clip. He did not necessarily want the girl to have it, he wanted to just immediately buy it out, if this young girl wanted to, he could ask the young girl for a favour to help her, so that she would give the pearl hair clip to him. The reason why Ning Cheng was so excited, was because this pair of pearl hair clips was not only the same ones that he had given to his younger sister, but it was even of the same blue colour, not only that but even the shape was exactly the same, the same snowke shape. If one did not consider the materials it was made from, then this pair of pearl hair clips and the pair of pearl hair clips that he purchased on Earth, there was basically no difference between them. When he had bought the pair of pearl hair clips initially, one of them was thrown away by Tian Mu Wan, and the other one was in the hands of Ning Rou Lan. Today he once again saw the exact same pearl hair clips, wasnt it just heavens will? Chapter 0049 – Asking For The Moon Chapter 0049 C Asking For The Moon One gold coin. the stall owner obviously was very good at running his business, seeing Ning Cheng and the young girl wearing the sarong talk about the pearl hair clip, he immediately charged an exorbitant price. Whats more, today the Nan Yuan City was filled with people from the outside, not to say about a gold coin, he even could charge 10 gold coins, as long he could find a person who took fancy to it, someone would definitely buy it. The hand of young girl wearing the sarong trembled slightly, on the mention a gold coin, How does such a pair of pearl hair clip cost 1 gold coin? Just how is this possible......... In her view, even if this pearl hair clip was very delicate and beautiful, it would be at most be a few dozen copper coins, which was even less than a silver coin. The stall owner said with an unhurried pace, My pearl hair clip is unique, you would never find a second pair like it, moreover it was personally created by the Imperial Casting Master, how could you say that this price is expensive? Moreover, I only said that it is one gold coin for a pair, but not a gold coin for each one. Ning Cheng also knew that the stall owner was charging an exorbitant rate, but not to mention about 1 gold coin, even if he charged him a 1000 gold coins it would not be too much money to him. Moreover, for him a gold coins role was getting smaller and smaller. The thing he needed now the most was Spirit Stones, even Qi Gathering Stones to him would not be much useful. Boss, then if I will take out a gold coin, will you sell me the two pearl hair clips to me? this sarong wearing young girl said as she looked at the pearl hair clip in Ning Chengs hand, gritted her teeth and said. She hade here to the Nan Yuan City to participate in the selection exam of the Clear Heart Academy, but she had be too fond of those pearl hair clips, and when she held onto one of the pearl hair clip in her little hands, she had a kind of an extremely tranquil feeling, she felt that this pearl hair clip was something made for her. Since childhood, she had never spent such an extravagant amount of money just to buy a small hair ornament. No way. the stall owner said firmly, while he simultaneously looking at Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng heard the tone of the sarong wearing young girl, it seems that she really liked the pearl hair clip. However, this pearl hair clip was something necessary for him, from the time he saw the same pair of pearl hair clip in Nan Yuan City, he basically couldnt express the surprise he felt in his heart. What this simple pair of pearl hair clip represented, this to Ning Cheng, was as if an invisible hand of god was guiding him towards it. The young girl also looked at Ning Cheng, with her eyes filled with hope, she really hoped that Ning Cheng would give her the pearl hair clip. She was not a fool, she could clearly see why the stall owner had raised the price, it was not because that the pearl hair clip was really precious, but because she waspeting with someone else, and the person who she waspeting with was standing beside her. Ning Cheng gave the young girl an apologetic look and said, Im really sorry, this pearl hair clip means a lot to me. If you could afford to part with it, will you be willing to give me the pearl hair clip in your hands? I am willing to buy you another pair of the pearl hair clips, that you can casually choose. The sarong wearing girl had a very rustic appearance, but Ning Cheng actually discovered that she and An Yi were not much different, she had a pair of eyes that were bright and clear, that innocent look in them made it look as if it could directly see into peoples heart, it made people unable to think of rejecting her in their hearts. But Ning Cheng affirmed, that she did not cultivate, her body did not emit even half the undtions of Qi cultivation. After listening to the words of Ning Cheng, this young girl slightly frowned, not because Ning Cheng was not willing to give the pearl hair clip to her. She knew that in Nan Yuan City, seeing a gold coin was very rare, she estimated that she was the only such person who could actually afford it. The reason she frowned was because Ning Cheng said that he was willing to spend such an extravagant amount of money to even buy a pair of pearl hair clip for her, this made her feel that this person was extremely frivolous. A man buying a pair of pearl hair clip for a woman, was not something that was casually done. She shook her head, and put the pearl hair clip down and said, This pair of pearl hair clip is not to be separated, since it has a lot of meaning for you, then I can give it to you. She said this with a gentle and demure tone, it made it seem as if giving the pearl hair clip to Ning Cheng was a natural affair. Ning Cheng quickly took out 2 gold coins and gave them to the stall owner, then thanked the sarong wearing girl from the bottom of his heart, Thank you, you can choose any pair of pearl hair clip, and I will buy it for you. This time the young girl wearing the sarong directly refused and said, You do not need to, it was just that I liked the unique snowke shape of the pearl hair clip, I do not need other people to buying things for me, I can take out 2 gold coins by myself. These words did not have a direct connection to Ning Cheng, he really missed his little sister Rou Lan, for her he was not willing to let this pair of that pearl hair clips to fall into the hands of a stranger. A person who was standing on the side who had seen the exchange clearly, said with a ridiculing and sarcastic voice, A man was unexpectedlypeting with a woman for a pearl hair clip. That sarong wearing young girl was obviously afraid to cause more disputes, so she did not dare say anything, quickly turned around and walked into the crowd, and very soon disappeared from his view. Ning Cheng ignored the words of other people, after he received the pearl hair clips from the stall owner directly, he did not leave, but rather asked the stall owner, Boss, did all these huge amounts of people in the Nan Yuan City came to participate in the selection exam of the Clear Heart Academy? Although the Clear Heart Academy isrge, it wouldnt need these many people right? The stall owner who received the two gold coins was in a really good mood, after listening to the words of Ning Cheng, he immediately shook his head like the tail of the rattlesnake and said, How could it be that, though there are a number of people here, but majority of the peoplee here to this city topete for business. So if you want, you could go to the Spiritual Root Testing za, there you will find many such stalls everywhere. Spiritual Root Testing za? Ning Cheng did not understand it and asked again. The stall owner patiently replied, You came here to attend the selection exam of the Clear Heart Academy right? To participate in the selection, you will first have to go to the Spiritual Root Testing za to test out your Spiritual Roots. Only when you pass the first test of your Spiritual Roots, only then will you be eligible to enter the Second Spiritual Root Test in the Clear Heart Academy. After saying this, the stall owner was afraid that Ning Cheng did not understand it, and said it with extreme pride, This time our Clear Heart 3 Star Academy of our Ming Yi Country is recruiting for disciples, it is not that simple, if one was selected, then he might even be able to ask for the moon. Oh, then what is going on here? Ning Cheng was really curious now. Being selected to join the Clear Heart Academy, would certainly be of great honour and luck, but that does not mean that one could just ask for the moon. The stall owner was very proud, as if the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy was his own private property, You have heard of the Hua Continent right? Yi Xing maind has 9 Continents, among the 3 Lower ss Continents, the Hua Continent is thergest with the densest Spiritual Qi, in case ones status was good, then they could even go to an Intermediate ss Continent. I know, I know, but I need to ask for more detail, Ning Cheng quickly lowered himself and cupped his fists, he really wanted to go to the Hua Continent once. The stall owner was very satisfied with the attitude of Ning Cheng, even if he did not have to attend to his business, he carefully exined to Ning Cheng, I heard that the Hua Continent has five 5 Star Academies, three yearster there will be apetition between these five 5 Star Academies in one of the Lower ss Continents. Once one of the 5 Star Academies won thepetition, then they would acquire a great advantage and benefits These 5 Star Academies for the sake ofing out on top in thepetition three years from now, are simultaneously recruiting the best disciples from Ping, Yuan and Hua Continents. All the 3 Stars and above academies are participating in the selection of outstanding disciples from their respective academies. My Clear Heart Academy naturally is one of those Academies, as long as you get selected for the Clear Heart Academy, you might even have the chance to even go to a 5 Star Academy. What are the great benefits that the students of Academy would receive? Ning Cheng subconsciously asked, even if the 5 Star Academies had great advantages, he still found it very strange and was also curious about it. I do not about that. The stall owner said with some embarrassment. I know about it, but you need to sell me that pearl hair clip that you just purchased. A hoarse voice sounded next to Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng turned around to see an extremely sturdy and robust young man, this young man was not only extremely robust, moreover he was wearing coarse homespun clothes on his body. Ning Cheng immediately guessed that this young man must have some rtionship to that sarong wearing young girl. When Ning Cheng saw that, he first thanked the stall owner, and turned to the young man and said, Since my friend is keen on wanting the pearl hair clip, then lets go to a quiet ce to talk about it. Ning Cheng did not want to give the pearl hair clip, but he wanted to know about the situation. Although this youth did not seem to have any background, but it did seem that he knew much more about the things around here than the stall owner. This young man simply did not think much, he immediately nodded and said, Ok, you can lead the way. No matter what you ask, as long as I know about it I will tell you, but the condition is that you have to give me the pearl hair clips. He seemed to be very honest and straightforward, Ning Cheng took a nce at him and immediately determined. Ning Cheng did not have much interest in what information the youth had, but because the Nan Yuan Citys stalls and restaurants were already very crowded, he was unable to find a peaceful ce to sit so he just wanted to find a quiet ce first. Ning Cheng brought this youth to a somewhat less secluded ce, and said bluntly, Friend, this pearl hair clip is extremely significant for me, I have no way of giving it to you. However, I have only arrived in the Nan Yuan City, there are a lot of things that I dont understand, and thus I have to ask others. The reason why he chose this youth to inquire, was because Ning Cheng felt that the opposite party was an extremely simple and a very honest person, moreover he did not seem to be a cultivator. Asking him, one who did not cultivate, was a lot safer, otherwise, if he asked a Qi Gathering cultivator of Nan Yuan City that why did he not know why the Clear Heart Academy was recruiting disciples, then they would definitely suspect him. If it was any other ce then he could forget about it, but here he had Lan Yin Yue as his personal enemy. After listening to Ning Chengs words, a trace of sadness shed across the young mans eyes, Before when my younger sister found me, she looked somewhat depressed, since childhood, I did not let her suffer any grievances. After I asked her, I came to know that the pearl hair clip that she liked was bought by someone else. How did you know that it was me? Ning Cheng blurted, with so many people on the street, and coupled with the fact that the sarong wearing young girl had disappeared not a long time ago, he was only there because he wanted to ask a few questions to the stall owner, it was because of that dy that he had not walked out. Arguably, this youth had not seen him buy anything, and thus by rights he should not have known that he was the one who had bought the pearl hair clip. The youth embarrassingly took out a handkerchief and said, I said that I would certainly help her get it back, so she drew a picture for me, I could recognize that you were the same person as the picture...... Ning Cheng saw the picture drawn on the handkerchief and immediately became sluggish, in this world there was still a person who was this skilful with their hands. This picture had quite a few strokes, but his image was fully outlined on the face of the handkerchief. This type of work could even bepared to the lifelike photo from a digital camera, rather this hand drawn portrait was even more realistic. Ning Cheng had always been proud of his abnormal memory and analytical skills that could not bepared to anyone, but today he knew, that he was not the only person with the most abnormally powerful memory. Just with a nce, even the most minute of his facial expression were captured and drawn with a very fine detail, just how many so called geniuses could evenpare to that? Chapter 0050 – Medicinal Pills Are Hard To Get Chapter 0050 C Medicinal Pills Are Hard To Get In my heart, my younger sister is a princess, but she is like me and lives in poverty. A few months ago, after my sister heard that the Clear Heart Academy was recruiting students, she in her heart always wanted to go to such a ce, but she was never willing to tell me about this matter, she was afraid that I would be worried. The only thing that I could do to help her, was sell everything from our home immediately, then apany her toe here to participate in the selection exam. This youth said these words with a voice filled with great and strong love, he had always looked at his sister as if she was the stars in the sky, all he could think of was how to help her. What if your sister fails in the selection exam, what would you do then? Dont you have a family back at home? Ning Cheng asked this time, while in his heart he was thinking that it was not this youth but his sister who was going to participate in the selection exam. He thought of him and his younger sister Ruo Lan, how he had to take care of his younger sister Ruo Lan, how he had simrly left everything from his home, and followed her younger sister to Jiangzhou. Wasnt this youth and him very much alike? When he heard Ning Chengs questions, this youth replied with pride, As long as someone is selected, my sister will definitely be one of those who are selected, there is nobody more outstanding than my younger sister. Ning Cheng did not criticize this young man, as a person who cherished his younger sister to such an extent, his words also resonated strongly with him, and did not cause a bad impression of the young man in his eyes. This time my sister will definitely be selected for the Clear Heart Academy, I wanted to help her get back this pearl hair clip, it may be thest thing that I may be able to do for her. So, I request you to make a promise with me. Although I do not have much gold, but I will try to give you as many gold coins as I can. Said the young man with a pleading tone in his voice. He was obviously not a fool, he knew that once his sister gets selected for the Clear Heart Academy, she would not be able to be involved with him any longer. Ning Cheng did not say anything else, he just took out the pair of the pearl hair clips and handed it to the young man and said, I also very much love my little sister, you can give this to your younger sister. For your younger sister to have a big brother like you, she must be very happy. When he gave the pearl hair clips, Ning Cheng also sighed in his heart, suddenly he was somewhat envious of the young man in front of him. At least he could still see his sister, even under the same sky. Ah...... this young man did not think that Ning Cheng would speak in such a good way, he already did not have much hope for it, but Ning Cheng actually gave him the pearl hair clips. For a moment he did not react, and then he hastily started pulling out gold coins from his pouch. Ning Cheng just waved his hands and said, I do not want your gold, for me gold coins are just something superfluous. The reason why I gave you the pearl hair clips, is because I also have a younger sister, she also liked this type of pearl hair clips...... Ah, this, this...... this young man was a simple and honest person, he knew what it meant to love someone. His sister was his only younger sister; then doesnt somebody elses sister would not be a younger sister to someone? But he was reluctant to return the pearl hair clips back to Ning Cheng, so at this time he unexpectedly came up with a solution. Why dont we take one each? You can then deliver the one you have to your younger sister. This young man hesitated a bit before handing a pearl hair clip to Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng pushed it away and said, No its okay, these pearl hair clips are originally supposed to be a pair, you must not tamper with it. Moreover, in this lifetime, I possibly cannot see my little sister again. Keeping the pearl hair clip on me, will only make me sadder, it would be better if you gave it to your younger sister. This young man was not well versed with words, he did not know how toe forward andfort Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng just smiled and said, Didnt you say that when I gave you the pearl hair clips, you would tell me about thepetition between the 5 Star Academies of the Hua continent? Also what does ing out on top mean? The young man saw Ning Cheng change the topic with his own initiative, he just heaved a sigh of relief, he hastily picked up the pearl hair clips and said, I heard that in the Yi Xing Maind, the high levelled continents in order to enhance the strength of the low levelled continents, decided to set up a 6 Star Academy on the Hua Continent. This 6 Star Academy, will be the only 6 Star Academy in all of the three Lower ss Continents. But there are five 5 Star Academies in the Hua Continent itself, as a result of that, it created a problem on how to decide which one of the five 5 Star Academies would be promoted to a 6 Star Academy. For the sake of fairness, the people of the high levelled continents of the Yi Xing Maind decided to adopt the form ofpetition to select which one of the Academies who would advance. The five 5 Star Academies would send out their most outstanding disciples for thispetition, the Academy with the most outstanding achievement and results, will be supported to advance to a 6 Star Academy, the other four 5 Star Academy would be the subordinates of this newly formed 6 Star Academy. The young man embarrassedly scratched his head and said, This is what my younger sister told me, it was also a person from the Clear Heart Academy who told these things to my younger sister. In fact, the reason why the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy is recruiting students, is so that it could conduct a selection, to determine the best and the most important disciples, it is very likely that they would be sent to the Hua Continent to participate in thepetition. After going to the Hua Continent, those 5 Star Academies will once again screen them. I understand, thank you. Ning Cheng nodded, he finally understood what was going on, it was evident that the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy was not just selecting the disciples to enter the Clear Heart Academy. Thest time when the Falling Star 5 Star Academy hade to especially select disciples, perhaps it was because they were taking advantage of the favour of the Ping Continents ancestor Lian Hao Yan, and then select some outstanding disciples from the lot for this purpose. The young man apparently felt that although he had to answer the two questions that he was supposed to answer, it was not enough to repay Ning Cheng for the pearl hair clips, and added another sentence, Elder Brother if you want to participate in the selection exam of the Clear Heart Academy, you need to go to the Ming Pu za on the outside courtyard of the Clear Heart Academy to first test out your Spiritual Root, only then would you be eligible to enter the Clear Heart Academy. Me and my little sister are going there tomorrow to take the test, half a monthter, the Clear Heart Academy will officially begin to recruit students. Ning Cheng once again thanked him, and prepared to leave first to find a ce to stay. This young man actually gave the handkerchief in his hands to Ning Cheng and said, This picture is yours, so I am just returning it to you. Ning Cheng did not know whether tough or to cry as he pushed his hand back and said, I do not need it, Ill take my leave now, I wish you and your little sister good luck, hope you can get selected into the Academy. He was talking about people falling in love, certainly this young man cant have such a thick skin, casually giving away a womans handkerchief to aplete stranger. It was not until Ning Cheng went far away, that this young man was mumbled it to himself, This person really is a great man. Ning Cheng certainly was not a person who was on good terms with everybody, in this young man he saw his own shadow, because of this he took the initiative to give the two pearl hair clips to him. At this time Ning Cheng was looking for a ce to stay in the Nan Yuan City, after he secured some amodation, he would then go to the Ming Pu za to have a look, and even test out his Spiritual Root. Ning Cheng was very clear, to meet with An Yi would certainly not be simple. An Yi would certainly be inside the Clear Heart Academy, with nobody to take him there, he was clear that he had to go through the entrance of the Clear Heart Academy. If he wanted to see An Yi, he could only wait for the time when the Clear Heart Academy officially started recruiting disciples, till then he could only go and fish through the troubled waters. The inns in the Nan Yuan City were already packed to the full, Ning Cheng was still very far from the ce where the Clear Heart Academy was located, because of the city being so crowded he had to spend nearly 10 times the price to find a ce to stay. After finding a ce to stay, Ning Cheng did not stay in that ce. He hade to this Nan Yuan City not only to look for An Yi, but to look for some other things as well. The most important things were of course finding someone who could help him in refining the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle and a True Condensation Pill. Regardless of whether it was refining the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle or exchanging the Golden Cicada Fruit for a True Condensation Pill, Ning Cheng could not be careless about it. ...... Feiyan Pill Pavilion, it was one of the three big Pill Stores of the Nan Yuan City. However, the location where it was situated was rtively remote, it was at the Northern edge of the Nan Yuan City. At present Nan Yuan City was packed with people, even though the Feiyan Pill Pavilion was located in a remote area, there were still many cultivatorsing and going through its doors. Ning Cheng was wearing arge hat that covered his face, and carrying a ck cloth package on his back, he entered the Feiyan Pill Pavilion. In the Nan Yuan City, people who dressed like him were not umon. Some people did not want to be recognized by others, still some people intentionally pretended to be deep. Speaking of Ning Cheng, no matter what, the more such people were present the better it was for him, at least he did not appear to stand out of the crowd. Ill take a bottle of Spiritual Qi Restoring Solution. Give me a small bottle of Returning Spiritual Qi Solution. ...... When Ning Cheng came in, he heard a variety of noisy voices. The majority of requests were for the purchase of different kinds of Spiritual Solutions, there were also some wanting to buy Pills, while there were also a few others who were bargaining back and forth. Compared to the Cang Le City and the Mingot City, the Nan Yuan City was much more standardized, at least there were no one shouting about Pills openly. Ning Cheng after listening for a long time, became aware about the rough prices of some of the items, a single bottle of Spiritual Qi Restoring Solution was going for 10 Qi Gathering Stones, it had the ability to recover a part of ones Spiritual Qi for an Initial Stage Qi Gathering Cultivator. The small bottle of Returning Spiritual Qi Solution was a spiritual healing solution, and also costed 10 Qi Gathering Stones, it can only be used to heal somemon injuries. As for the Spiritual Qi Solutions that had better effects, the price for those rose up in straight line. Ning Cheng moved towards a salesperson who looked busy and asked, Excuse me, do you have a few Higher Level Medicinal Pills to sell? Ning Cheng was very careful, when he looked at most of the Spiritual Solutions and the Pills sold here, Ning Cheng already had some doubts if he could purchase the True Condensation Pill in the Nan Yuan City. High Levelled Medicinal Pills? What kinds of Medicinal Pills do you want? Returning Qi Pills? Rejuvenating Pills? or True Returning Pills? The sales person stared at Ning Cheng and directly asked. After he asked, with extreme pride in his voice he said, We the Feiyan Pill Pavilion do not sell inferior quality medicinal pills, but in this ce, you cannot purchase pills in the same way as other ces in the Nan Yuan City. Of course, if you want to truly buy a high level medicinal pill, then we are required to authenticate your credentials and establish your identity, otherwise they are not for sale. A True Returning Pill can even be used by early True Condensation Realm cultivators to recover their Spiritual Qi, but this type of medicinal pill requires authentication and verification of ones credentials, doesnt this mean that the True Condensation Pill which was even more precious than the True Returning Pill would be even more difficult to buy? Ning Cheng now understood, that in this kind of ce like the Nan Yuan City, although he could use the Spirit Stones and Spiritual Grasses that he has to buy the medicinal pill, but he knew that he could not act rashly. He said with a slight exaggeration, ording to your statement, if I wanted to buy a True Condensation Pill, or to buy an Essence Building Pill wouldnt I need to bring out my entire family tree for verification and authentication? The surrounding cultivators when they heard Ning Cheng talking about something interesting, immediately roared withughter. The salesman did not care about what was said and replied, You all should be foreign cultivators, many of you do not understand the rules of Nan Yuan City. The True Returning Pill is something that is hard toe by in the Nan Yuan City, of course selling it is not an easy thing. As for the True Condensation Pill, although I should not say this, but it is not something that we sell in the Feiyan Pill Pavilion, as for the Essence Building Pill, I am afraid that even in the entire Ping Continent you would not be able to buy it. ording to you, if I found a bunch of Golden Cicada Fruits, can I not use the same to get the True Condensation Pill? said someone, helping Ning Cheng who also wanted to ask those words the most. The salesman still unhurriedly replied, If you can really get the Golden Cicada Fruit, then you would not have to worry about the True Condensation Pill. As a go between our Pill Pavilions, the Clear Heart Academys Pill Divisions Elders, will surely help you concoct the pill. Of course, refining the pill for you will require an appropriate remuneration. Chapter 0051 – While Haired Old Woman Chapter 0051 C While Haired Old Woman Ning Cheng came out of the Feiyan Pill Pavilion, as he did not dare to take out the Golden Cicada Fruit. He already came to know from the mouth of that salesperson, that even if he had a Golden Cicada Fruit, it would be very difficult to obtain a True Condensation Pill. Taking a step back, even if he could use the Golden Cicada Fruit to trade for a True Condensation Pill, he would have to pass through the Clear Heart Academys inspection. Ning Cheng was not brain damaged, why would he do such a thing? Since this was the Feiyan Pill Pavilion, he did not need to go visit the rest of the Pill Shops, they all would certainly be simr to this. It appeared that even if he had the Golden Cicada Fruit, trying to get a True Condensation Pill, would not be an easy matter. Because of the experience from the Feiyan Pill Pavilion, Ning Cheng decided to look for a moremon Refining Store. He had no ns to take out the only Flood Dragon Horn he had, he wanted to sell the sickle Artefact that he had on him, or if possible try to trade it for a needle Type Artefact. Ning Cheng did not know much about Refining, so he ended up looking for an entire half a day, the sky was also starting to turn dark, but still he could not find a ce that specialised in refining Artefacts. At most he only found a few vendors with stalls who were selling a few used low ranking Artefacts, these ces could also refine Artefacts, but at most they could only refine somemon low levelled Artefacts, as such even if Ning Cheng requested them to refine what he wanted, they absolutely would not be able to refine it. This made Ning Cheng very disappointed, he even thought to start refining the Artefact himself, but then thought of the True Condensation Pill again, and couldnt help bing even more discouraged. If only everyone had simr thoughts like him, with not having Pills to refine, nor having Magical Artefacts to refine, this type of cultivation would be so simple. No matter how hard he searched, he could not even find a single person in Nan Yuan City who could refine what he wanted. Because whether it was Alchemy or Refining, they were not simple to learn, even if one studied for a lifetime, a Pill Master or a Crafting Master were very rare to the point of being scarce in the Nan Yuan City. Even if there were many Pill Master and Craftsmen, they would certainly not stay in the Ping Continent. Ning Cheng decided to give up finding a Refiner, and wanted to go back and rest for the day, he would then go to the Clear Heart Academy to inquire about An Yi and then see if he could see her. If he could see An Yi earlier, he would be able to leave Nan Yuan City early. My Friend, please stay back. Just when Ning Cheng was preparing to head back to take rest, he was suddenly hailed by someone. Ning Cheng stopped, he turned around and saw a skinny and wretched looking middle aged man, but his cultivation level was actually not weak, he was already at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level. Did you call me? Ning Cheng asked with a deep voice, he seemed to have seen this guy before, however he did not remember in which store did he see him. As he, in order to find a Refiners Shop, had visited many of the stores in the city. I am called Ge Chang, friend, are you looking for someone to create a custom Artefact? this skinny middle aged man said to Ning Cheng while sping his fists, while his tone held a hint of questioning in it. Although this guys name and his appearance were exactly opposite, Ning Cheng did not think of it as funny, on the contrary he frowned, and said in a cold voice, So from what you said, arent you following me? Ge Chang quickly waved his hands and hastily said, Friend please do not misunderstand, I Ge Chang am a very respected character in the Nan Yuan City, how could I follow you? It is because there have been many cultivators who came to the Nan Yuan City and were unable to find an authentic Refining Shop, so I offer them my services as I just happen to know a good Refining Master. I have already helped a lot of busy people, as long as you want, I can lead you to this Refining Masters ce. Ning Cheng came to understand, that this guy originally solicited business from everywhere, and exclusively lurked outside waiting for them toe out. In the meantime, Ning Cheng was secretly vignt in his heart, he was being followed by a Qi Gathering 3rd Level Cultivator for so long, but he did not know about it. Only because this was the Nan Yuan City did Ning Cheng feel a bit relieved, at least he did not encounter the scenes like he had experienced in the Cang Le City and the Mingot City. Besides since this person with the talent of Qi Gathering 3rd Level decided to show up and propose such a thing to him, Ning Cheng just nodded and said, Ok, how much do I need to pay you? Ning Cheng came from Earth, so of course he knew that in the world there was no such thing as a free lunch, this Ge Chang hade to him with his own initiative, so he definitely wanted to earn a little, he absolutely would not do such a good thing for no reason at all. Ge Chang listened to Ning Chengs words, immediately gave a thumbs up and said, Friend you are simply the most straightforward person that I have met. You definitely will not suffer a loss; this master can be said to be the most powerful Refiner in the entire Nan Yuan City...... Ning Cheng directly interrupted Ge Chang, Just say the price you want to take me there, as for the rest, it is not very important. Ning Cheng did not believe most of the words that Ge Chang spoke, if that Refining Master was really the most powerful, he would not need this Ge Chang person to draw business from everywhere. If there really was such a powerful refining Master, in this ce like the Nan Yuan City, he would already have procured the most luxurious building as his refining store long ago. Fortunately, as long as he could refine a thin needle that matched the idea in his mind, as for the quality being good or bad, he did not care much about it. In this ce like the Nan Yuan City, to refine a top ss Artefact, it would be more appropriate to say that it would just be a dream. Ge Chang saw that Ning Cheng had no interest in what he said, however he said with some slight embarrassment, Because this Refining Master does not like to be disturbed by others, moreover being a genuine expert in the field, the price thus that I want might possible be a bit higher, I just need two Low Grade Spirit Stones......... Ning Cheng sneered, You taking me to a ce to see a Refining Master requires two Low Grade Spirit Stones, in just one year, wouldnt you be the richest person in the entire Nan Yuan City? If Spirit Stones were so easy to earn, then why would I need to even go and toil in the Daan Forest? You can go look for other patrons who are willing to pay 2 Spirit Stones, I am just a poor person, I cannot afford it. Just as Ning Cheng finished, he turned around to walk away. Two Low Grade Spirit Stones were already a great fortune in the Nan Yuan City, even if Ning Cheng was able to take out two Spirit Stones, he would not spend it on such a fool. Even the core disciples of the Clear Heart Academy like Lu Xue, Le Bohong and the others, were only rewarded a single piece of Low Grade Spirit Stone every month. If they wanted to obtain more Spirit Stones, the students would have to go out and start killing others. Ok Ok, just give me 10 Qi Gathering Stones. Ge Chang saw that Ning Cheng was not paying attention to him, quickly called out to Ning Cheng, and immediately dropped the price by a dozen times. Actually Ning Cheng also had had dozens of pieces of Qi Gathering Stones, they were actually the spoils of war, but these things did not have much use to him, as they contained too many impurities inside them. Plus, Ning Cheng really wanted to look for a Refining Master to refine a Magical Artefact, so this time he did not argue with Ge Chang, he took out 10 Qi Gathering Stones from the cloth bag on his back and gave it to Ge Chang saying, Lead the way. Ge Chang took the Qi Gathering Stones, and was overjoyed in his heart, he had just given out a ridiculous price, he did not think that Ning Cheng would actually give him 10 Qi Gathering Stones. My friend, pleasee with me. Ge Chang immediately became quite warm in his tone. He even politely stretched out his hand, and then led the way. Ning Cheng immediately followed close behind Ge Chang, but was also carefully looking around in the surroundings while being on guard. Ge Chang turned around 7 or 8 times, and was walking with Ning Cheng for about half an hour, as he went through dozens of streets, and entered into a residential area. After arriving here, there were fewer people around them, even in the entire street you could only find 1 or 2 ordinary people idling about. Just when Ning Cheng was getting impatient, Ge Chang entered a small alley, while simultaneously stopping in front of a low one storied house, and said, This is it, this Masters temperament is somewhat strange, whether she is willing to help you refine or not, I do not know. I have already brought you here, you can go in by yourself, I will not go. After exining this to Ning Cheng, Ge Chang also called out a sentence which was carried to the inside of the house, Master Kung, I came to look for a business for you again. After finishing these words, Ge Chang quickly turned and fled, and instantly vanished from his view in the small alley. Ning Cheng knew that he was probably cheated, this small alley was clearly a ce where the ordinary people lived, how could there be a Refining Master here? If there really was a refining master here, why did this Ge Chang run away? Fortunately, he had only given him 10 Qi Gathering Stones. Whether it was true or false, Ning Cheng still pushed the door and went inside. It was very dark inside the house, and Ning Chengs eyes could only vaguely see what was inside the house. The decorations inside were very simple, only a table and two chairs, other than that, there was nothing else. There was a door on both sides of the room, the door to the right of the room was closed, but a glimmer of light could be seening out the door on the left side of the room. Is there anyone here? Ning Cheng called out. After waiting for a long time, he still did not get an answer. Ning Cheng went to the entrance on the left side of the room, he pushed the door a little with his hand, but found that the door was unlocked. After entering the room, Ning Cheng saw that there was already someone inside the room. Not only was there a person inside, it was a white haired old woman. This old woman had her back to him, there was a stove in front of her, and there was a me above the stove. However, this stove was not a furnace, but an ordinary andmon household stove. There was round pot on top of the stove, but he did not know what was cooking inside the pot. At this time the old woman did not seem to know that Ning Cheng had already entered the room, she lifted her hand to uncover the pot, and an aroma of food greeted his nostrils. Ning Cheng was somewhat speechless and was shaking his head, this was simply the house of an ordinary person, and the person in front of him was preparing food. Im sorry, grandma, I got into the wrong ce. with that, Ning Cheng quickly stepped back wanting to get out of the house. However just as Ning Cheng entered the room before, he found that there was something wrong with the room, this room did not even have a window, he actually was also not able to smell even a bit of smoke. Because there was no smell of smoke, Ning Cheng remembered, that the stove did seem to be burning. It was definitely unusual; he did not believe that an ordinary person could use a stove without burning the coal in the stove. Sure enough, when Ning Cheng entered the room once more, he could see more clearly. The stove truly did not have anything that was burning, but the mes seemed to have a trace of ones Spiritual Qi in it. Ning Chengs Spiritual Sense was very strong, he understood with just a nce that the me that he was seeing did not use ordinary fuel. This junior heard that senior here is Refining Master, I have especiallye to seek the help of the senior to refine an Artefact. Although I may be disturbing seniors peace and quiet, I ask senior to forgive me. After Ning Cheng discovered that the me was unusual, he discovered that he could not even see the old womans cultivation level. He immediately guessed in his heart that this old woman should be a cultivator in the Essence Building Realm, with such a strange temperament, Ning Cheng did not dare to be casual in front of her. Chapter 0052 – You Want To Learn Alchemy Chapter 0052 C You Want To Learn Alchemy I am not a Crafting Master. The white haired old woman slowly turned, although her tone sounded old, but it was neither fast nor slow. Ning Cheng saw that the eyes of the old woman were a little pale, while there were a few wrinkles on her face. Ning Cheng did not carefully look at the appearance of this old woman, and hurriedly cupped his fist in front of her and said, This junior had heard it from Ge Chang that senior was a Crafting Master, after this junior saw the furnace fire of senior, he firmly believes that Ge Chang did not lie to me. I still ask the senior to extend a helping hand, as long as the Artefact of this junior was refined sessfully, whatever senior requests, this junior will try his best to aplish it. You just said that you would do your best to do whatever that I ask, but are you really willing to do it? The old woman still spoke in an unhurried tone. Ning Cheng was stunned for a moment, was it that obvious, it implied that if she helped him in refining the needle, then would he have to work himself to death for her? Fortunately, this old woman did not continue to ask, and just slowly said, I only took one thing from Ge Chang, but I did help him in refining a low level Artefact, so he thought that I was a Crafting Master. But the fact is, I am not a Crafting Master...... Ning Cheng was despising her in his heart, you are not a Crafting Master, and yet you helped Ge Chang refine an Artefact? But he did not dare refute this old woman, and continued speaking respectfully, Senior can already refine Artefacts, to this junior you are already a Crafting Master. This juniors request is very simple, as long as senior could help me refine just amon Artefact. This old woman seemed to be embarrassed to refuse Ning Cheng, she just sighed and said, Since you have alreadye here to find me, I will help you refine an Artefact, which should be alright. But I have three conditions, first you cannot be like Ge Chang, going everywhere and publicizing me as a Crafting Master. This junior will heed it; this junior is just passing through Nan Yuan City. I would never publicize the name of the senior, and also would not let anyone disturb senior because of me. Ning Cheng hastily promised. The old woman nodded and continued, The second condition is that you must not take out something that is not pleasing to my eyes, otherwise I will not help you refine the Artefact. Although I am not a Crafting Master, I will not use lousy things to refine the Artefacts. The third condition is that the remuneration for helping you refine the Artefact should be of my satisfaction, otherwise I will not help you refine the Artefact. Naturally, what kind of remuneration does senior need? Ning Cheng asked with confidence, as long as the opposite party wanted payment, it meant that it would work well with him. He also had hundreds of Spirit Stones, parting with a bit of them would be worth the help in refining the Artefact he needed. First you have to tell me something about the Artefact you want to refine, then take out the materials. The old woman did not directly ask Ning Cheng to pay, apparently she wanted to have a look at what Ning Cheng wanted to refine, and then set the price. Ning Cheng took out two teeth from a ss 2 Demon Wolf Monstrous Beast and said, I would like to refine a ....... She did not even wait for Ning Cheng to finish, when her expression turned sour and roared, You want me to refine an Artefact from this trashy material? You think that since I am not a Crafting Master, you can insult me? Get the hell out of here. Ning Cheng was surprised for a moment, he did not think that the old woman would get so angry. The teeth from a ss 2 Demon Wolf Monstrous Beast was trash? This was something that he did not even dare take out in the Magical Weapons Store to exchange it for refining services, why would this old woman say that it was thrash? Fortunately, Ning Cheng reaction was very quick, he immediately put away the sharp teeth from the Demon Wolf, and hurriedly took out a horn and said, Because the thing that I want to refine is needle, so I thought that the sharp tooth from the Demon Wolf would be better. Since the senior does not like it, I also have a horn...... What...... Seeing the horn of a Flood Dragon in the hands of Ning Cheng, the old woman gave out an rmed cry, she lifted her hands and grabbed the horn of the Flood Dragon, her speed was very fast. Ning Cheng who was at one side was staring at the old woman with some nervousness, he estimated that he might have to fight, but he was afraid the he would not be a match against this old woman. If this old woman wanted the horn of the Flood Dragon for herself, he really had no means to take it back. Isnt this the horn from a Flood Dragon who had just advanced to ss 4? How did you, who is a mere Qi Gathering 8th Level cultivator, be able to get such a good stuff? The old woman said while staring at Ning Cheng. Ning Chengs heart sank, he even refused to answer to the matter regarding the Flood Dragons Horn, as he stood up in shock, Senior, you are able to see my actual cultivation level? The old woman sneered, With your broken Concealment Technique, you dare to hide your cultivation level in front of me? Bah. With that, she took out a Jade Piece and threw it at Ning Cheng and said, Let me show you just what a real Concealment Technique is. Ning Cheng grabbed the Jade Piece, and used his Spiritual Sense to sweep through it, immediately he broke out in cold sweat. After he looked at this Jade Piece, he realized that the Concealment Technique that he learned previously was truly thrash. This Concealment Technique that he had been using, had already been revised countless times, if he had not revised it, it was just simply appalling and could not be called a Concealing Technique. But even when he had revised the Concealing Technique to its perfected form in his mind, his Concealment Technique was truly very weak. With his cultivation level, there was no way for him to use the Mysterious Yellow Beads Origin, as he had not yet reached the Formless Level. Just like a ck iron, even if it was repeatedly forged, there was simply no way for it to turn into a piece of gold. Perhaps he could only wait for the time till he could reach the Formless Level to freely use the Mysterious Yellow Bead, so that even if it was just a random technique, he could then use the Mysterious Yellow Beads Origin to modify and rectify it into the most amazing top ss technique. But that time certainly wasnt now. Ning Cheng with his fastest speed, scanned through the Concealment Technique once again. The Techniques and Methods were inherently different, Techniques were far lessplex than a Method and even the lengths of the mnemonics were shorter. With Ning Chengs astonishing memory capabilities, by just casually scanning through it once again, he was almost entirely able to learn it and imprint it in his mind. Others may only be able to remember some things, and while cultivating it they may end up making many mistakes, but this was not the case with Ning Cheng, who could even modify even a Method at his own will. You can keep the Jade Piece containing the Concealment Technique that I gave you, but first you need to answer two of my questions. The old woman saw Ning Cheng hold the Jade Piece in such a manner, she immediately knew that Ning Cheng was already shocked by this Concealment Technique. She already knew that Ning Cheng was a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 8th Level and thus had the ability to view the contents of the Jade Piece, she basically did not find anything strange with it. Ning Cheng hurriedly gave the Jade Piece back to the old woman and said, This junior does not dare to covet the Jade Piece of the senior, if senior wants to enquire about something, then please by all means go ahead and ask, this junior will talk about anything as long as I know about it. Ning Cheng was not a fool, he had already understood the technique in the Jade Piece, and letting the old woman give it to him, wouldnt it mean that he owed her a favour? Even if she wanted something, he could pretend that he never saw the stuff. The old woman did not know that not only did Ning Cheng had such a powerful memory, but he even had the ability to correct even a Cultivation Method, because of which she was actually surprised and asked, You really do not want it? Ning Cheng said in a resolute and decisive tone, This junior had onlye to ask senior for her help in refining an Artefact, if one also wanted the technique in the Jade Piece, then wouldnt it be me being greedy, senior can just go ahead and ask what you want. The old woman surprisingly took and put away the Jade Piece with much appreciation and said, Such being the case, I will also not ask any more questions. This One Horned Flood Dragon had just advanced to ss 4, with your trivial cultivation of the Qi Gathering Realm, for you to get such a thing, really shows that you really are not simple. Moreover, arent the Flood Dragons skin and the Flood Dragons Core not with you? Ning Cheng actually did not hesitate, he directly took out the Flood Dragons skin and piled it up in the room and said, I was not able to find the core of the Flood Dragon. The old womans eyes revealed that she was pleasantly surprised, she did not continue to look at the Flood Dragons Skin, she did not even enquire about the Flood Dragons core, and directly asked, What thing do you want me to refine? I want to refine a thin needle shaped Artefact which also has a concealing effect, the thinner the better, while at the same time it should be able to help me perform Ice Type Attacks with it, can you.... Ning Cheng was no longer polite, he suspected that this old woman should not be a simple person, and simply spilled out all the characteristics of the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle. You want to refine the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle? Does a Qi Gathering Cultivator like you really have a Profound Grade Technique? It appears that the secrets on your body are not small. The woman said while staring at Ning Cheng as if implying something else. Ning Cheng was immediately startled awake from his sub consciousness, this old woman was really quite amazing, she even knew about the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique. What if she also knew about the Mysterious Yellow Bead, wouldnt that mean certain death for him? Seeing the worried look on Ning Chengs face, the old woman smiled and said, Although a Profound Grade Techniques are good, I do not put them in my heart. However, for you to use the single horn of the Flood Dragon and refine it into the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle, even if the refining was sessful, the effect would be far from being satisfactory. This Flood Dragons horn and the other materials have a great use for me, I have a stinger from a ss 4 Shadow Bee that is more suitable for refining a needle like Artefact. These materials are not as good as the stingers from a ss 4 Shadow Bees to refine the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle, would you like to exchange them for the horn and materials of the Flood Dragon for these? When Ning Cheng heard about it, he knew that he would definitely suffer a loss, however he did not even consider about it even once and said, Whatever senior wants you can have it, this junior only wants the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle. The old woman nodded, apparently she was satisfied with Ning Chengs attitude, and immediately said, Although I am not a Crafting Master, but I am a Pill Master, if you have any pills that you need to be refined, you can alwayse to me. At least for a year, I will not leave this Nan Yuan City. When Ning Cheng heard this, his heart was immediately filled with joy, he did not even think that this old woman was actually a Pill Master. When hearing this news for the first time, he almost immediately went ahead and asked the old woman if she could refine a True Condensing Pill. However, Ning Cheng immediately refrained from executing his idea, he felt that to even ask the old woman to refine a True Condensing Pill, it would not be possible today, he at least would have to wait till he gets his hands on the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle before anything else. Of course, if you want me to help you refine pills, then you need to bring your own Spiritual Grasses, as an old woman, I usually do not go out, so I do not have any Spiritual Grasses for you. After getting the horn and the hide of the Flood Dragon from Ning Cheng, the old womans attitude towards Ning Cheng changed greatly. Ning Cheng knew that he had the Golden Cicada Fruit, but for refining the True Condensing Pill, he would need 10-20 different kinds of Spiritual Grasses. In such a short time, he simply would not be able to collect all the Spiritual Grasses needed, so looking for this woman to help him refine pills was a bit unrealistic at the moment. Thinking of this, Ning Cheng hurriedly said, Does senior have any Jade Pieces that have an introduction to Alchemy, if there are any, would you let this junior take a look at them. You want to learn Alchemy. The old woman immediately understood the viewpoint of Ning Cheng, she did not believe that someone would ask her such a question. Ning Cheng sheepishly scratched his head and said, Yes, if I could refine my own pills, wouldnt it save me a lot of troubleter? This old woman mouth revealed a hint of smile for the first time, looking at Ning Cheng she could tell, although this old woman did not ridicule him, it meant thatughing or ridiculing him did not make much difference to her. Since time immemorial, there were tens of thousands of cultivators who wanted to be Pill Masters, but for one to actually be a Pill Master, is very rare. In addition to talent and perseverance in Alchemy, you also need great luck. Even if you had Pure Spiritual Roots, even if you had amazing perseverance, if you are not destined for it, then you would never be a Pill Master. The old woman turned back, her tone felt a little lonely, as if she was speaking to herself while sighing continuously. Ning Cheng knew that he had an opportunity in front of him, he could no longer could help himself and exposed his own tail, while he eagerly asked, This junior is certain that he would definitely be a Pill Master, this junior does not need to be taught by senior, as long as senior can give this junior a Jade Piece that contains the basics of Alchemy, that is all that is needed for this junior. Chapter 0053 – Improved Spiritual Roots Chapter 0053 C Improved Spiritual Roots The old woman recovered after a while, shook her head while staring at Ning Cheng and said, I really do have the Jade Pieces that contain the basics of Alchemy, but I will not give it to you. It is not that I am reluctant to part with them, it is for your own good. Although you dress like an old person, I think that you are not older than 20 years, right? Being less than 20 Years old and also being able to advance to the Qi Gathering 8th Level, although it is not considered as being a genius, but in this Ping Continent, it is not something that is easily achieved. With your speed of advancement, you can even leave the Ping Continent in the future, that coupled with your own effort and some luck, you might be even be able to advance to the Profound Core Realm. But if your heart is too greedy, and try to delve into the research of Pills, then I am afraid, that in this life, you might not even advance to the True Condensation Realm. Alchemy, it is something that you do not want to learn nor can you learn, just listen to my words. Ning Cheng thought about the Mysterious Yellow Bead, and said somewhat with an unwilling heart, Senior, I am sure that it would not dy my cultivation. The old woman smiled slightly and replied, Any cultivator who wishes to refine pills will have this confidence. In the end the Daos of Alchemy and Crafting are just minor Daos, and they are also for the sake of enhancing ones cultivation. If not for the sake of advancing to a higher level, there would be no one willing to refine pills. But everyone has been misled by these minor Daos; if the end result is for the sake of cultivation, why not put all your energy into your cultivation itself? If one day you can gaze down on anything whether great or small, will there be a Pill Master who would dare to refuse to refine pills for you, or a Craftsman unwilling to forge weapons for you? When Ning Cheng heard this, his heart suddenly felt hot. This was the first time he heard someone talk about the Daos of Alchemy, even the refining of Artefacts has its own Dao called the Dao of Crafting. But although he was discouraged by her, he actually felt that this old woman did not speak wrong, if one day he could gaze down on everything big or small, will there be a Pill Master who would dare to refuse to make pills for him, or a craftsman unwilling to forge weapons for him? However, without the Pills, how would he be able to gaze down on things big or small? His fiery mood that had just red up, immediately cooled down again. This old woman seemed to know about the thoughts that were going through the mind of Ning Cheng, and once again said with an unhurried tone, In this world people who refine pills are truly not the strongest people, there are naturally many things stronger than them in the world. If one day, you are able to find these inherently magical items, which are countless times even more powerful than any pills, then what would you have to even worry about. If you only rely on artificial pills refined by people for your cultivation, you will not be able to eliminate it toxic dependence, and will forever be a second rate character. Alchemy is just an auxiliary means to cultivation, it is actually not the end goal. What senior means is, as long as a person just cultivates, there is no need to refine Pills? Ning Cheng asked in a puzzled way. The old woman shook her head and once again said, No, it is just that you are not suitable to cultivate Alchemy. With only your cultivation level, even if you had an intelligence that went against the will of the heavens, so what of it? The prerequisite to cultivate Alchemy is that it not only requires a lot of Spiritual Grasses at hand, but secondly you must also have a Pill me in addition to an excellent luck. If you do not have either of them, then even if you really want to advance to the True Condensation Realm through Alchemy, it would be really difficult, you simply chose the wrong path. If you want to refine pills, then you can alwayse to me when you feel that you can no longer advance in your cultivation by yourself. However, I believe that at that time, you will already be in no mood to refine pills by yourself. Ning Cheng sighed, he knew that the old woman did not speak anything wrong. He only relied on the Mysterious Yellow Bead, the Mysterious Yellow Bead cannot just create millions of Spiritual Grasses out of thin air. Evidently, even if he wanted to practice Alchemy, this old woman would not let him. You cane back in ten days to collect the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle; I will definitely refine it for you. The old woman said as she saw Ning Cheng lowering his head to ponder, she did not care what Ning Cheng was thinking about, and directly gave him the order to leave. Yes, this junior will take his leave. After Ning Cheng came out of the old womans cottage, he put aside the matters regarding to Alchemy in his heart. No matter how it was, even if he started studying Alchemy from this moment, he would not be able to immediately refine a Qi Gathering Pill. If he wanted to advance to the True Condensation Realm, he must try to think of other ways. Its true that there are many cultivators in the True Condensation Realm, but it is not necessary that every one of them was a Pill Master. ...... Ning Cheng did not go to the Ming Pu za to test out his Spiritual Roots, he wanted to wait till he had gotten his hands on the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle. Moreover, after what the old woman had said, Ning Cheng did not even have half confidence in trying to conceal his cultivation level using his Concealing Technique. He simply decided to rest for the time being, and try to cultivate the new Concealment Technique that he had just obtained. Ten days shed by, in these ten days, Ning Cheng not only perfected the Concealment Technique that he had obtained from the old woman, but had even learnt the new Concealment Technique in its entirety. On the tenth day, Ning Cheng impatiently rushed to the stone cottage of the old woman. But he discovered that the door of the cottage was actually locked, Ning Cheng was a bit surprised in his heart, this senior who looked like an old woman, did she deceive him to obtain his materials? Wasnt this definitely possible? Did youe to ask something from Aunt Gong Sun? A hesitant voice came from the doorway of the opposite cottage, Ning Cheng turned around and saw a thin lipped boy who had a very ugly appearance. Yes, I am looking for Aunt Gong Sun, did Aunt Gong Sun go somewhere? Ning Cheng quickly replied. While simultaneously feeling that this Aunt Gong Suns name sounded really familiar, when he was on Earth, he had once heard the same name, but he also knew, that this certainly was not the same person. When this extremely ugly teenager heard the words of Ning Cheng, he immediately grinned, and quickly entered his house and took out a small wooden box while handing it to Ning Cheng saying, Just before leaving, Aunt Gong Sun gave this to me, she said that everything that you want is in here, do what you want with it. Ning Cheng received the wooden box with gratitude, but in his heart he did not understand. He had only asked Aunt Gong Sun to create the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle, what did this thing have to do with it? Although he was dying to see the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle, Ning Cheng strongly held back his excitement, and first brought the wooden box back to his ce of residence. After returning to his residence, Ning Cheng first arranged a Concealing Array Formation, and then cautiously opened the wooden box. The small wooden box also had a smaller crystal box within it, there was a small pile of things next to the crystal box. Ning Cheng did not pay any attention to this pile of things besides the crystal box, and directly took out the crystal box to open it with his hands. An extremely thin, almost invisible to the naked eye, needle was resting inside the crystal box, and was even flickering, almost as if it would vanish at any time. Good needle. Ning Cheng called out in marvel, he immediately understood, that this needle absolutely surpassed the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle that he had anticipated. When Ning Cheng grasped the fine thin needle with his hands, a feeling of wanting to connect to it and refine it surged forward towards his heart. Ning Cheng did not hesitate, immediately closing his eyes, he started to refine the needle in his hands. After one day, Ning Cheng was once again surprised as he opened his eyes, the fine needle in his hand had disappeared. The thin needle had already cleanly stuck to the inside sleeve of his garment, and was evenpletely linked with the thoughts of his mind. At this moment Ning Cheng did not believe that the old woman was not a Crafting Master, the rank of this fine needle was even higher than his Flying Sword, this was simply on the level of a best quality Artefact. A person who can refine a best quality Artefact, how can they not be a crafting master? Ning Cheng was very happy in his heart, he even forgot the pile of other things in the wooden box, and was constantly practicing the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique with the fine needle in his hand. Until he discovered that his stomach was empty, he found that one day had already passed by. Ning Cheng was very surprised in his heart with the fine needle. Once he faced his enemy, and using the 36 Thick Ice Sword Technique along with the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique in unison, even if it was cultivator at the True Condensation Realm, in the situation in him being sneak attacked, he estimated that it would be very difficult for his opponent to evade it. Today, he finally had gained some actual abilities to help him protect himself. Ning Cheng felt even more grateful towards the old woman, and even towards Ge Chang, Ning Cheng thought that he should have paid him more than the 10 Qi Gathering Stones that he had given him. Even if he had paid him the 2 Spirit Stones that he originally asked, he felt that it would still be much less for what he had obtained. Ning Cheng picked up the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle, and was ready to go out to eat, when he remembered that there were some other items in the wooden box. He hastily picked up that pile of things, shaking it a bit, he found it to be something extremely thin. Ning Cheng recognised it in just a nce, it was refined from the hide of the One Honed Flood Dragon. He also understood what was the matter, it should be the case that the old woman thought that the hide of the Flood Dragon was a bit too much for her, so she helped him refine an armour out of the hide. Ning Cheng took off his cloths, and put on the refined internal armour, feeling an indescribable feeling spreading throughout his body. He felt very grateful towards the old woman in his heart. He did not throw away the wooden box, in his opinion, it was equal to owing the old woman a favour. Originally, if it were other people, they would definitely not have given him the armour, but this person gave it to him just like that. In the meantime, Ning Cheng felt, that when the old woman told him to not learn Alchemy at that moment, he thought that it was definitely not without reason. ...... The Ming Pu za was located just outside the Clear Heart Academy, it belonged to themon area jointly owned by the Clear Heart Academy and the Ming Yi Country. It was not only a huge za, but also the only ce in the entire Ming Yi Country where one could test their Spiritual Roots freely. If it was just a normal day, the people who came to the Ming Pu za to test their Spiritual Roots would have required a lot of gold coins to do so, but during these several days they did not charge even a single gold coin. All the people could freely take the test, because in just a few more moments the Clear Heart Academy would officially start its recruitment of disciples. Although in the past several days the peopleing to the Ming Pu za have been increasing, but today it waspletely packed with people. Almost all of them were cultivators, and it looked like most of the people from the Nan Yuan City hade here. Because today was the day when the Clear Heart Academy would finally start the recruitment process of the disciples, as long as ones Spiritual Roots met the minimum conditions, they would pass the test, and would then be able to enter the Clear Heart Academy to take the secondary test. Ning Cheng followed therge number of people into the Ming Pu za to take the Spiritual Roots Test, today he took off the big hat that he had been using to hide his face these several days. However, he deliberately dressed down, to look like an old person, he even had a bit beard which showed the vicissitudes of life on him. Because today was the day when the Clear Heart Academy would select their disciples, therefore the people who hade to test out their Spiritual Roots were actually not many. As most people had already tested out their Spiritual Roots before. Ning Cheng was already experienced in how to use the Spiritual Roots Testing Artefact, so before he arrived in front of the Spiritual Root Testing Artefact, he said to the person responsible for taking the test, I would like to take the test for my Spiritual Roots. ce your hand on the recess, and let a little bit of your Qi to flow into it. The person responsible for taking the test whispered. Ning Cheng did not speak a lot, directly putting his hand on the recess, he let a bit of his Qi to flow into the Artefact. Four yellow lines in the crystal pir rose, the four fine lines were rising very slowly, but they actually did not stop. When Ning Cheng saw that these four fine light beams rising to about three or four feet, he abruptly pulled back his hand. The person who was responsible for testing the Spiritual Roots did not care about the small act of Ning Cheng, and directly threw a wooden que towards him saying, Four Hybrid Support Spiritual Roots, you are eligible to enter. Thank You, can you tell me what are my four Spiritual Roots? Ning Cheng asked as his heart started to pound, as he hurriedly grabbed the wooden que and asked while thanking him. Only he was very clear in his mind, he obviously had a three-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root when he started out, but after about six months of time, it had unexpectedly turned into a four-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root. The person responsible for the testing swept a disdainful nce at Ning Cheng and said, You are already eligible for selection, you do not need to ask these things. I am only responsible to check if you have the qualifications to go in, though you are just barely able to enter the front door of the Academy with yours. The implication was that, your Spiritual Root is so rubbish, that you even have the gall to ask what your Spiritual Roots were? Chapter 0054 – Ning Cheng Hooks A Girl Chapter 0054 C Ning Cheng Hooks A Girl Ning Cheng did not pay any heed to the man in charge of the Spiritual Root Test, trying to find a resolution with this person would just be a waste of his energy. The person in charge of the Spiritual Root Test obviously did not stop there, and still chattered on endlessly behind Ning Chengs back, People think that they are the same as the Yue familys brother-sister pair, bah! In the entire Ping and Yuan Continent where would you find such a pair of geniuses whose talent went against the will of the heavens? How can there be a third, taking you as an example would really not be fitting to them. Some person immediately refuted that sentence from the side. Ning Cheng was in no mood to listen to the nonsense of these people. he picked up his pace and walked out of the Spiritual Roots Testing Hall. There were more and more peopleing to the Ming Pu za, and many more people had already entered the Clear Heart Academy. Ning Cheng arrived at the entrance of the Clear Heart Academy following this crowd of people, only to find that all the people here were the ones grasping the wooden que in their hands, there were no other person to check them if they were legit or not. He was just thinking that to enter the Clear Heart Academy one simply did not need the wooden que, but then he saw that there were a few people who were thrown out flying just as they entered through the gate. Not having the wooden que and even daring to enter the Clear Heart Academy, get out of here. The guard at the gate of the Academy just sneered and cursed at the people. Ning Cheng came to understand, it turned out that there was an Array Formationid out at the entrance of the Academy. He carefully brought up the wooden que in his hands, after scanning it he found that it was one of the simplest type of Array Formation g called the Burst Array g. This simple Array g was inscribed with four thin lines, presumably it represented that he had four Spiritual Roots. The Clear Heart Academy did not look muchrger than the Cang Qin Academy, Ning Cheng thought after entering the Academy, but immediately felt that here and the Cang Qin Academy were just two different ces. Here the Spiritual Qi was a lot more concentrated whenpared to the Cang Qin Academy and even surpassed it by many times, seems like there was a Spirit Convergence Array Formation ced on the outer periphery of the Clear Heart Academy. It felt as if the Spiritual Qi all around the Nan Yuan City was being absorbed by the Clear Heart Academy. This kind of activity like the selection of disciples, can often be seen in many of the Academies, it is just that the Clear Heart Academy did it on arger scale. Ning Cheng had also experienced it once before, and easily made his way to a corner a long time ago. He just wanted to look for An Yi without anyone noticing him. In this kind of situation, with An Yis Spiritual Roots, she was already qualified to enter. So many people were crowded into a huge za, Ning Cheng simply did not have to take the initiative to hide himself, as absolutely no one would be able to notice him in such a huge crowd. Meanwhile Ning Cheng noticed, that the Clear Heart Academy had threerge slices of vacantnd in front of the za, these three vast slices of empty spaces were divided by three different colours. All the people who came to the za outside stood outside the three coloured empty swaths ofnd, no one dared to even stand near the podium in front of the coloured line. Ning Cheng thought that it was probably a custom that he did not know, fortunately he was simr to many of the people here, and that was to not participate in the selection. Standing along with the people together, it should not be a problem. Waiting for more than half an hour, there were peopleing up on the podium one after another. Ning Cheng also soon saw Lan Yin Yue, Lan Yin Yue walked to the position in the middle, it indicated that her status in the Clear Heart Academy was at least rtively important. Walking to the front of the square was a square faced man wearing grey clothes, his appearance was a bit rough, and actually looked very crude in his clothes. But Ning Cheng knew, that it was just a superficial look. This person who walked to the front, perhaps he was the Dean of the Clear Heart Academy. At his side was a very refined middle aged man, in Ning Chengs view, the cultivation levels of these two people were far beyond that of Lan Yin Yue. After all the other people have filled the seats on the podium, Ning Cheng frowned, he did not see An Yi. Despite this, Ning Cheng was not anxious. Because he also did not see the rest of the so called godly students, at least he did not see the student with the pure gold Spiritual Root among them. After all the people sat down, the speaker unexpectedly turned out to be Lan Yin Yue. Lan Yin Yue walked to the front of the podium, nced at the people crowded onto the za, and then said with a crisp voice, I believe that the most outstanding people in the entire Ping Continent have, at this time gathered here with us. I think that a lot of people already known, that this time our Clear Heart Academy is not only enrolling students for itself but there is also a special reason. Thats right, this time our Clear Heart Academy is also participating in the recruitment of students for the Hua Continents 5 Star Academy ....... Many people already knew that there were a few dignitaries who had arrived from the Hua Continents 5 Star Academy, now that Lan Yin Yue had once again reaffirmed the news, everyone immediately became even more enthusiastic, it seemed that if one would be selected then they would immediately be able to go to the Hua Continent. After waiting for the noise to die down a bit, Lan Yin Yue once again said, Because the recruitment of students for the 5 Star Academy is very strict, not only one needs their Spiritual Roots to be outstanding, it also required them to be powerful. Although the you here are the most outstanding people in the Ping Continent, but the number of people who can go to the Hua Continent is only 50. Even if you are able to be selected to go to the Hua Continent, the number of people who would be able to be selected into the 5 Star Academy may not be even 10 amongst you. All the people present knew about this reality, even if you are selected to go to the 5 Star Academy from here, one could not say that they were actually from the 5 Star Academy. However please do not get discouraged, my Ping Continent definitely have many outstanding personalities who have a good ground work, in other words you all might as well be the top of our outstanding disciples. In the Ping Continent, there are also several other 3 Star Academies, but I can assure you that our Clear Heart Academy is the strongest among all. Because we have found four disciples with Pure Spiritual Roots, which also include two disciples having 2 different pure Main Spiritual Roots. Even if it was 5 Star Academy of the Hua Continent, I would still dare to say that they may not have even a single disciple with two Main Spiritual Roots.......... Lan Yin Yues words once again caused a sensation, invoking all kinds of emotions, envy, jealousy...... So speaking about the Clear Heart Academys selection of disciples this time, would they only need to choose at most 46 more members? 46 people? Dont dream about it. In addition to the Clear Heart Academy having Pure Spiritual Roots disciples, there are still the 10 core disciples, in addition to the 10 core disciples, there are also some other disciples with very high qualifications. We at most have only 30 ces topete against, it can already be regarded as a splendid thing. There were variousments that could be heard all around, no one thought, that with so many peoplepeting for the 50 spots, even without those few who had Pure Spiritual Roots, they could only wait for their turn. Everyone, this time besides the choosing of 50 who would be going to the Hua Continent, our Clear Heart Academy still has a need to recruit students. This time we want to recruit 1000 students, so everyone has a chance. The entire square was silent once again, all the people were thinking, even if there was no chance for them to go to the Hua Continents 5 Star Academy, they could stay back in the 3 Star Academy which was also quite good. Please, people who are having a Main Spiritual Roots, moreover people having no more than three Support Spiritual Roots go stand in the first coloured swath. After Lan Yin Yue finished, immediately about 3000 people entered the first coloured swath. Ning Cheng came to understand what the coloured swaths ofnd in front of them were for, it was for the selection and filtering of the best students. The people who did not enter the first coloured line should not worry, there is also a supplementary selection. Now I invite all of you in the first coloured swath whose Main Spiritual Root is yellow, and have attained at least 5 feet in height to walk into the second coloured swath next to you. Lan Yin Yue had not forgotten tofort the hearts of most of the students who came to attend the selection exam of the Academy, some of these student candidates had even arrived as much as six months before, if they did not even have a chance at the selection, they would certainly be very unhappy. Out of the 3000 students standing in the first coloured swath, only a few hundred students entered the second coloured swath ofnd. Ning Cheng sighed, although he did not have a Main Spiritual Root, his four Support Spiritual Roots were already more than 4 feet tall. The following selection procedure, Ning Cheng had no interest in watching it, he knew well about the selection process, at this point most of the people were looking at the Clear Heart Academys selection of disciples, it was time for him to go search for An Yi. Ning Cheng carefully came out of the crowd, and slowly left the za. ...... Most people from the Clear Heart Academy had already gone to the Academy za, but Ning Cheng was already far away from the Academys za, and as such he did not encounter a single person. Ning Cheng in his heart was a bit pleased, he was just thinking in which direction he should go to look for An Yi, when suddenly he felt that someone was sweeping a nce at his body. This seemingly vague nce had a trace of Killing Intent in it, almost making Ning Chengs body to go stiff. In just a short time, Ning Cheng understood what was the matter, and simultaneously criticized his own stupidity. This was not a nce; it was Spiritual Sense. He was in the Clear Heart 3 Star Academy, it would obviously have a cultivator at the Essence Building Realm. Cultivators at the Essence Building Realm can bring out their Spiritual Sense, as he was just a lone person who did not go to the Academys Square at this time, but was rather in this ce, it was already very suspicious. Initially Ji Luo Feis Aunt had been able to find him and Ji Luo Fei, was not because of luck, but because she was a cultivator at the Essence Building Realm, and thus could extend her Spiritual Sense to a very great distance. Just when Ning Cheng was extremely anxious, a person came into view from a distance wearing a pink coloured womans robe, it was a girl with the cultivation level of Qi Gathering 6th Level. Ning Cheng did not even consider for even half a second that he would meet another person, and with a pleasantly surprised look said, Senior Sister Apprentice, I really did not expect to find you here. This girl apparently did not think that someone would stop her, she looked at Ning Cheng whom she did not recognize, and immediately became dumbfounded. Ning Cheng quickly said, Senior Sister Apprentice, I am Ning Cheng from the Pill Division. Thest time I saw you from afar, it has been hard to forget about you. This time our Clear Heart Academy wants to select the very best students with excellent qualifications to send to the Hua Continent, but I was not able to see Senior Sister Apprentice in the za. Thus I feared that since Senior Sister Apprentice would definitely want to go to the Hua Continent, I would not have the chance to speak to youter, so I mustered up the courage toe find Senior Sister Apprentice myself. Ning Chengs face did not even miss a beat when he said those words, when he discovered that this girl was unexpectedly not ugly. Not only was she not ugly, herplexion was a bit ruddy, even her eyes had a hint of spring in them. Oh....... This pink dress wearing girl did not seem to think, that she would be secretly liked by such a handsome boy. Although she did not know Ning Cheng, but the words spoken by Ning Cheng made her feel a sense of satisfaction. More importantly, this very good looking handsome fellow was from the Pill Division. Actually I do not know what name is Senior Sister Apprentice called by. When Ning Cheng spoke these words, this time he felt that the Spiritual Sense surrounding his body weakening. Ning Cheng in his heart was feeling really lucky, if he did not have the help of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he absolutely would have no way of knowing that someone swept him with their Spiritual Sense. My name is Su Zhu, are you really from the Pill Division? the ruddyplexion on the pink dress wearing girl subsided a bit, but the trace of spring in her eyes still remained. However, her tone and expression carried a hint of surprise in them, which let hime to the understanding that the Pill Division was actually very popr. In the Clear Heart Academy, Ning Cheng only knew about the Pill Division. Otherwise, he certainly would not have said that he was from the Pill Division. Now that Su Zhu was asking, he quickly said in an affirmative way, Yes of course, I and Brother Wen Guangs rtionship is pretty good, moreover I received a lot of pointers from Brother Wen Guang. You really have a good rtionship with Brother Wen Guang? at this time Su Zhus expression of surprise was not simple anymore, it was as if she was overwhelmed by an unexpected favour. This kind of character like Ning Cheng, had unexpectedly had a crush on her. Ning Cheng said immediately, Yes, but my qualifications are a bit poor, I was afraid that you would have already left the Clear Heart Academy already, which is why I hurried over to see you. It really must have been fate; I did not expect that I would be able to meet you here. Su Zhu looked around a bit, suddenly she whispered to Ning Cheng in a low voice, With my qualifications I am unable to be selected, why dont we go to my ce to talk about it. Then, Su Zhu unexpectedly took the initiative to hold Ning Chengs hands and pulled him closer. Ning Cheng did not think that she was such an active girl, this was really too easy. Fortunately, what made him rx was that the Spiritual Sense that was around him finally disappeared. Chapter 0055 – How Can I Get Away Chapter 0055 C How Can I Get Away Su Zhu took Ning Chengs hands and after taking a few turns, entered a residential area. Here he could not even see a single student, Su Zhu suddenly brought her body close to Ning Cheng. A womans fragrance and something soft hit him, making Ning Cheng subconsciously sway a bit. Why do you like me? Su Zhu came even more close; her tone immediately became a bit clingy. Although Ning Cheng talked about love, but he never actually taken any advantages from Tian Mu Wan, it can even be said that he only had restricted understanding to matters rting to a man and a woman, and has never really done it. When Su Zhu made contact with him in such a way, Ning Cheng who was also at the age where he was full of vigour, immediately felt that his body temperature began to rise. However, Ning Cheng was able to ovee such a desire, and simultaneously realized something in his heart. When he first saw Su Zhu, Su Zhus face was somewhat red, while she was touching the corner of her eyes a little, it was as if she had been enjoying the soft embrace with a man only a moment ago. Ning Cheng did not need to ask, he knew that the private life of Su Zhu was extremely erotic. While others were concerned about the selection for the 5 Star Academy, she was actually hiding in her room and was even enjoying herself with someone else. Giggle....... She felt that Ning Cheng was unfamiliar with this kind of matter, which made Su Zhu give out a giggling smile, which made his heart even more itchy. Ning Cheng seemed to look like an older person, especially with his beard, but his age was definitely not old. But this somewhat weathered feel of him made her even more attracted to him, that coupled with the fact that the atmosphere around Ning Cheng felt really clean. Besides she had never been on this side of a secret love from a pure clean male who really admired her, moreover he was still the most attractive person that she has seen from the Pill Division of the Clear Heart Academy. If she could establish a rtionship with this Ning Cheng, she could then have someone who could refine some elixirs for her. Come to my room. Su Zhu said with some shortness in her breath, while her eyes betrayed that she couldnt wait anymore. Ning Cheng hastily said, Yes, Senior Sister Apprentice Su Zhu, do all the female students of the Clear Heart Academy live here? Su Zhu was obviously did not care about this topic, and just casually said, No, lets walk towards the inside of from here ......... She did not finish saying her words, when three people walked out, when Ning Cheng saw the trio he immediately became happy. These three people, he had seen them before, walking on either side were Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun, while waking in the middle unexpectedly turned out to be the sarong wearing girl he had met earlier. Only this time she was not just wearing her simple sarong from before, but a purple one. When the three people saw Ning Cheng and Su Zhu snuggled up together, they were simultaneously shocked. Is that you, Ning Cheng...... Lu Xue who was shocked a moment ago, immediately cried out, the reason why she was shocked, was because she knew the inside story of Ning Chengs disappearance. Yong Gu Yun was also shocked, she understood it much better than Lu Xue, as she knew that Ning Cheng went missing because Lan Yin Yue had forced him out of the airship. Ning Cheng was just a Qi Gathering 4th Level Cultivator, and was thrown down from high up in the air, so he definitely should have died, but then why was he still here? Because two other people were still here, and Ning Cheng was even snuggling up to one of them, Su Zhu, they immediately put the matter aside. After the sarong wearing girl saw Ning Cheng, instead of having a shocked looked on her face like the other two had a relieved expression. She felt somewhat guilty towards Ning Cheng, after she made her elder brother look for Ning Cheng, she could not find him again. She had heard her brother say, that why Ning Cheng wanted that pair of pearl hair clips, it was because of his fond remembrance of his little sister. But because she also liked it, and it was precisely because of her liking them, it was as if she had imed the other party little sister as her own. Moreover, she listened to her elder brother say, that this man might never be able to see his sister again. Did youe here the same way? After the sarong wearing girl was pleasantly surprised, and called out to Ning Cheng the first thing that came to her mind. When Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun heard the sarong girl, before they could even react, the two peoples expressions kept on changing, then Yong Gu Yun immediately stepped forwards to tugged on the dress of the sarong wearing girl, and anxiously asked, Junior Apprentice Sister Yue Ying, how do you know him? When Ning Cheng heard Yong Gu Yuns words, he just came to understand something, in the Clear Heart Academy emerged two geniuses with two main Pure Spiritual Roots, they were the sarong wearing young girl and her simple and honest elder brother. Since she was called Yue Ying, then her brother must be the one called Yue Yuan Hua. After Su Zhe saw Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun, herplexion suddenly turned pale, and she immediately let go of Ning Cheng, while calling out the phrase, Su Zhu greets Senior Sister Apprentice Lu Xue and Senior Sister Apprentice Yong Gu Yun. Yong Gu Yuns face turned dark, and did not pay any attention to Su Zhu. But Lu Xue said in a cold voice Su Zhu, it would be better if you leave first, this is not a matter which involves you. If you want to look for Ning Cheng, then after this matter is settled, you can go looking for him again. Su Zhu looked at Ning Cheng, and then once again looked at Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun, and immediately walked away from the scene. Although Yong Gu Yun was also at Qi Gathering 8th Level, but she did not possess Spiritual Sense, and Lu Xues cultivation level was even lower. The two people did not know that Su Zhu did not go far, she had only just turned a corner, and was hiding behind the walls edge. Although Ning Cheng had Spiritual Sense, he did not waste his Spiritual Sense to sense Su Zhu. Seeing Su Zhu walk away, Yong Gu Yun said to Yue Ying in a soft voice, Junior Apprentice Sister Yue Ying, do you know who that woman was who had just walked out? Yue Ying shook her head in puzzlement, in her heart she was also thinking about who the woman was and what rtionship did she have with him? She is the slut of our Clear Heart Academy, the Clear Heart Academy might appear to be bright on the surface, but its filthiness is also iparable. Do you know about this man called Ning Cheng, what he likes the most is being together with beautiful women. Before our Academys Junior Apprentice Sister An Yi, was almost deceived by him. Fortunately, she was able to meet Junior Apprentice Sister Lu Xue in time, and was able to avoid a disaster. Otherwise, in my Clear Heart Academy the number of people with Pure Spiritual Roots, would only have been 3. Therefore, for him to approach you definitely means he has some ulterior motive, you should not be deceived by his words. Yong Gu Yun relentlessly poured down the false information of Ning Cheng. In Yong Gu Yuns opinion, Ning Cheng was far from being handsome. He could fool An Yi to bepletely loyal to him, she thought that it was because of his honeyed words. Because of this, she also thought that Junior Apprentice Sister Yue Ying might get deceived by him. So when she saw Su Zhu and Ning Cheng together, she immediately came to the conclusion that he was definitely that type of person. Lu Xue on the other side of her also agreed and added, What Senior Sister Apprentice said is correct, people like Su Zhu are indeed countless here. Saying that, Lu Xue looks at Ning Cheng and said, Ning Cheng, in fact, before when I met you I really was feeling bad for you, but today when I saw this scene, it really disappointed me. Su Zhus eyes were just like shining spring, and her face still was a bit red, do not say that you did not do anything to her. Everybody knows about these things, its just that I do not want to say it out loud. However, I really do not think that you should be exposed to Junior Apprentice Sister An Yi. In your heart you already know that you and An Yi are two different types of people. When Su Zhu who was hiding on the side heard those words, she immediately turned pale, and her whole body was trembling. She was very clear that Ning Cheng was pure and innocent, when she heard that Ning Cheng liked her, she truly was somewhat excited in her heart. Because among the people in the Clear Heart Academy and the people who came in contact with her, no one really liked her, but all of them wanted to go down on her. Originally she had brought Ning Cheng to her room was not only to have sex with him, but to make a rtionship with Ning Cheng and use sex with Ning Cheng so that she could obtain elixirs. Later when she saw that Ning Cheng was actually a novice in that area, she was even moved in her heart thinking that what he felt was genuine feelings. Originally she had been living by deceiving herself, and up to this point of time she did not know how unbearable was she in the eyes of others. What...... On the face of Yue Ying was a look as if she couldnt believe what she heard, although she was aware of Ning Cheng, it was totally unintentional. It was not right; it does not seem that it was done intentionally. She could remember, she seemed to have seen the pearl hair clip first, then this person who called himself Ning Cheng had offered to buy the pearl hair clip. Thats right, after listening to what her elder brother said, he bought the pearl hair clip but did not walk away, rather he remained standing in front of the original stall for a long time. Was it possible that he knew that her elder brother woulde to look for him? And then took this opportunity to get himself closer? If it really was like this, then this mans mental abilities were really frightening. Before she was feeling a bit guilty towards Ning Cheng, but it hadpletely faded away now. Ning Chengs face sank, and said in a cold voice, This Su Zhu person, I do not know, but I do know what other say behind my back, that I am not a clean person. Even if there were countless people like Su Zhu, does it really matter to you? I became friends with Su Zhu, and if I want to make friends with An Yi again, is it any of your damn business? If I want to be happy, can I not? You intentionally want to make it look like I am trying to be friends with you, it does not make me happy, is that good enough for you? Ning Cheng in his heart knew that Su Zhu was a slut, and was always looked down upon, but he detested Yong Gu Yun who was in front of him even more. You are courting death. Yong Gu Yuns face changed, and a Flying Sword appeared in her hands, while simultaneously filling the air with Killing Intent. Ning Cheng in his heart was feeling very unhappy, if he was outside he would have immediately split her apart with his sword. A mere Yong Gu Yun, he could casually take care of her with his sword. Senior Sister Apprentice Yong, dont do it yourself. as Yue Ying quickly stepped forward to block Yong Gu Yun hastily. Yong Gu Yun seemed to care a lot about Yue Ying, seeing Yue Ying Come forward, she had to give her face, and did not continue forward. Seeing Yong Gu Yun did not go forward to continue to fight, Yue Ying was relieved, and spoke hastily to Ning Cheng, This Elder Brother, my elder brother said that you were very good. Although my brother is modest, but he is not an informed person when ites to experience. You are not a person from the Clear Heart Academy, if you are not here to participate in the selection of disciples of the Clear Heart Academy, then you better quickly get out of here. Ning Cheng had note to fight, so of course, he will not continue to challenge Yong Gu Yun. Now that Yue Ying spoke, he hastily said, This Junior Apprentice Sister, I am only looking for my cousin An Yi, do you know where she is? You dare to look for An Yi, I will immediately inform Elder Lan Yin Yue, making you forever unable to go out of the Clear Heart Academy. Yong Gu Yun immediately snapped. Before anything else happened, Yue Ying quickly grabbed Ning Cheng and quickly said, Senior Sister Apprentice An Yi has gone to the Academy za, I think at present she should be near the podium, you can go and see. Ning Cheng thought that he definitely must not miss An Yi this time, he hurriedly cupped his fist and thanked Yue Ying for a moment, and immediately turned away and hurried to the square. Now that he was exposed, if he could just see An Yi safe and sound, he would immediately leave the Nan Yuan City, otherwise in a few more minutes, it would be more dangerous. Once Yong Gu Yun informed Lan Yin Yue that he had appeared in Nan Yuan City, he may really be unable to leave this ce. Seeing Ning Cheng depart rapidly, Yong Gu Yun said with somein in her voice, Junior Apprentice Sister Yue Ying, the next time you meet this shameless womanizer, do not be this soft hearted. Otherwise, you will always suffer, this kind of person is very despicable, I do not know how many young girls of good families has he broken. Yue Yingsplexion slightly turned red and said, I know, Senior Sister Apprentice Yong. Thank you, for giving me face. Yong Gu Yun smiled and said, If he does not go to find An Yi then its ok, but if he dares to find An Yi, he would only be looking for death. Elder Lan Yin Yue tried to kill himst time, I do not know how he survived, this time he came looking for An Yi, if Lan Yin Yue happens to know about it, how would he still be able to get away? Chapter 0056 – Su Zhu’s Help Chapter 0056 C Su Zhus Help Yue Ying was even more surprised than Yong Gu Yun, although she could not imagine why Yong Gu Yun with her strength did not start fighting herself, but was actually counting on Lan Yin Yue to get Ning Cheng killed, did she wanted Ning Cheng to die that badly? As for Lu Xue, she actually had a bit positive impression about Ning Cheng, one of the reasons why she did note forward to fight was because Ning Cheng and Le Bohong had a sort of good rtion, so she really did not want to go to that extreme, at least she did not want to face Ning Cheng in a fight. There was still one other thing, she knew that An Yi was still very much dependent on Ning Cheng. Therefore, the news of Ning Cheng apparently dying before, she still had not disclosed it to An Yi. She did not expect, that Ning Cheng had not only not died, but there wasnt even a single scratch on him, and even more amazingly followed them to the Nan Yuan City. At this time, she saw the expression on Yue Yings face, and hurriedly said, Junior Apprentice Sister Yue Ying, actually Senior Sister Apprentice did not make a mistake. If there were such people like Ning Cheng around, if they were not killed off, they would only end up harming even more innocent girls. Take you as an example, if you did not enter the Clear Heart Academy, perhaps you would have already been deceived by him. Yue Yings face immediately turned a slightly deeper shade of red, this time there was no rebuttal. If her elder brother had not found Ning Cheng, perhaps she would really would have gone out personally to look for Ning Cheng to thank him. While doing so, wouldnt he get to know both of them? Although she herself felt a bit disgusted with Ning Cheng. But on the other hand, there were some vicissitudes of life in Ning Chengs breath, which made her appreciate him a bit. ...... Ning Cheng sped up, and once again reached the main za, while simultaneously pressing himself into the crowd. This time Ning Cheng saw clearly, he was able to make out with a nce that An Yi was sitting at the edge of the podium, besides An Yi, there were two people Yu Hong Feng and Yue Yuan Hua. Compared to Yue Yuan Hua and Yu Hong Feng, An Yi was looking somewhat thin and haggard, and was sitting with her head lowered as if there were heavy thoughts going through her heart. However, Ning Cheng actually felt relieved, An Yi had already advanced to the Qi Gathering 6th Level, once ones Pure Spiritual Roots were exclusively trained and utilised, their advancement through the levels would be very smooth. Ning Cheng also knew about this matter, if he did not have several hundreds of Spirit Stones, and also if he had not found the Spiritual Essence Pool, it would have definitely been impossible for him to advance to the Qi Gathering 8th Level in just half a year. Thus with this it can be seen that An Yi really did have a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root without a doubt, moreover her status in the Academy also seem to be good. At least he did not have to be worried about An Yis safety anymore, Ning Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and did not continue to stay here, and turned around and sped towards the entrance. As long as An Yi really had a Pure Spiritual Root, An Yis path to sess would definitely be smooth, there was no need for him to worry. From now on, as long as he only had to take care of himself it would be good enough. Ning Cheng had not even gotten to the entrance, when he stopped immediately. He saw that the front gate had been closed, and there were two people in front of the gates who wanted to go out but were stopped by the guard. Ning Cheng saw that the two people were stopped by the guard for a long time and were speaking heatedly for quite a while, before they turned back with a bitter look on their faces. Two friends, are we not allowed to go out of here? Ning Cheng hurriedly stopped the two people and asked. The Clear Heart Academy is not much open about it, but it seems that we can only go out after the selection is concluded. One of the people spoke in an angry tone when he saw that Ning Cheng was actually not a student of the Clear Heart Academy. Ning Chengs heart sank a bit, just when he was trying to think of a way to get out, he suddenly heard a clear and crisp voice from behind, Ning Xiao Cheng,e with me, apany me to a trip to the outside. When Ning Cheng turned around he saw Su Zhus extremely bright smiling face, in his heart he immediately became happy, as he quickly yed along with it and quickly said, Certainly. Su Zhu naturally pulled on Ning Chengs hand, and walked a few steps, and when she was almost at the front gate she said, Do you know? Senior Sister Apprentice Lu Xue asked me to help her purchase some Pills from the Feiyan Pill Pavilion. I am telling this to you, but oh my god, Senior Apprentice Sister Lu Xue will certainly go to the Hua Continent, maybe with her ability she may really be chosen to enter the 5 Star Academy. As long as Senior Apprentice Sister Lu Xue was selected for the 5 Star Academy, so when shees back in the future, she would really never forget me. Ning Cheng listened while being somewhat bewildered, he certainly knew that Lu Xue did not send Su Zhu to buy pills for her. Lu Xue simply loathed Su Zhus attitude and always treated her with disgust, why would she send Su Zhu to buy pills for her? At this time the two people had alreadye to the front door, Su Zhu did not even wait for the guard to speak, and actively greeted him with a brilliant and charming smile, Brother Han, there are a lot of people today, it must be very hard on you. Right, I am going out for a small matter. The gate guard had seen Su Zhu before, he did not think that Su Zhu would even know that he was surnamed Han, and quickly replied, It is not that hard, you take care of yourself. The Guard talked in a sort of neutral tone, as Su Zhu pulled Ning Cheng out the front door of the Clear Heart Academy. Su Zhus footsteps immediately quickened, as she quickly brought Ning Cheng and passed through to the Ming Pu za. Ning Cheng understood that Su Zhu wanted to help him, as he was brought out of the Clear Heart Academy. Although Ning Cheng did not know how Su Zhu knew that he had to leave the Clear Heart Academy, but in his heart he was still very grateful towards her, and even said in a somewhat sheepish voice, Senior Apprentice Sister, I am actually not from the Clear Heart Academy......... She did not wait for Ning Cheng to finish what he was saying, when Su Zhu interrupted Ning Chengs words saying, Do not talk about it, it would be better if you left quickly, I heard Yong Gu Yun saying that she was going to inform Elder Lan. Ning Cheng did not exin anymore, he cupped his fists to her and bowed saying, Many thanks Senior Apprentice Sister Su, if Senior Apprentice Sister Su needs anything that she wants to ease her cultivation then just ask, although it may not be possible for me to be able to help you advance to the True Condensation Realm, but still please ept this as a thank you to the Senior Apprentice Sister, Ill go first. With that, Ning Cheng stuffed a small package into the hands of Su Zhu, and turned around to quickly disappeared from her sight. As Su Zhu watched Ning Chengs disappearing back, her face suddenly looked very deste and lonely. How could she not know the meaning of what Ning Cheng said to her, cultivate with ease? She suddenly remembered the time when she hade to the Clear Heart Academy. She had been deceived by that person, and went to bed with some other people, and then just like a jar that broke when it fell, as a result there were more and more people who looked down upon her. For her, she still had a years time, within one year if she could not advance to the Qi Gathering 7th Level, she would no longer be a student of the Clear Heart Academy. Su Zhu suddenly felt empty as she felt something break inside her, even she did not know why she wanted to help Ning Cheng. Perhaps it was because Ning Cheng spoke those fewforting words to her. She looked at the small package in her hands, suddenly she felt a faint but rich Spiritual Qiing out of the package. Su Zhus heart skipped a beat, and she quickly opened the package to have a look. When she saw what was wrapped inside it, she was immediately stunned speechless, in the package there were actually a dozen Low Grade Spirit Stones. ...... Elder Lan, I just saw Ning Cheng a moment ago, he seemed quitefortable in the Clear Heart Academy, I estimate that he is looking for An Yi. After Yong Gu Yun arrived to the Academys za, she found some time to spare, and hurried to deliver the message about of Ning Cheng to Lan Yin Yue. What? Lan Yin Yue asked in a surprised voice. She had personally forced Ning Cheng to jump off the airship, how could he appear in the Clear Heart Academy? He was just a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 4th Level who jumped off from a high altitude airship moving at an extremely high speed, how was it possible that he survive that? Did you not see wrong? Lan Yin Yue asked in a calm tone, this kind of thing was simply impossible, how could a dead persone back to life? I did not see wrong, even Junior Apprentice Sister Lu Xue saw him, and he even made it clear that he hade here to search for Junior Apprentice Sister An Yi. This person even recognised Yue Ying, if not for Yue Ying joining the Clear Heart Academy early, perhaps she would also have been cheated by him. I have arranged for Junior Apprentice Sister Lu Xue to try and find where he is now. Yong Gu Yun replied quietly from the side. Killing Intent shed across Lan Yin Yues eyes, but she forcibly restrained her Killing Intent. Elder Lan, just now Su Zhu had already carried Ning Cheng out of the Clear Heart Academy. Do you want me to bring Su Zhu here? said Lu Xue as she rushed over, she was watching over Ning Cheng on Yong Gu Yuns order, she actually did not think that Su Zhu would help Ning Cheng in bringing him out of the Clear Heart Academy. The Killing Intent emanating from Lan Yin Yue immediately grew even more fierce, after recovering a little whileter she slowly said, Inform Xue Cong, let him temporarily pass the order to kill him to Miao Li Hu from the Mingot City. In the meantime, since Ning Cheng appeared in Nan Yuan City, the news of Ning Cheng would soon reach Miao Li Hu anyway. After Miao Li Hu kills off Ning Cheng, as long as Xue Cong kills Miao Li Hu it will all be ok. I understand. Yong Gu Yun swept a nce at An Yi, and quickly walked away. She knew why the Elder Lan took such a move. An Yi was too dependent on Ning Cheng and remembered him fondly, if one day in the future An Yi learned that it was Elder Lan who killed Ning Cheng, she and Elder Yan would definitely turn into enemies. Before Elder Lan did not know how much An Yi depended on Ning Cheng, now that she knew about it, this made her decide on the idea to n his murder with a borrowed knife. With Miao Li Hu killing Ning Cheng, and then Xue Cong killing Miao Li Hu. The result would definitely be, An Yi appreciating Xue Cangs help in taking her revenge. Chapter 0057 – Battling True Condensation Chapter 0057 C Battling True Condensation Ning Cheng ran out of Nan Yuan City with his maximum speed, after leaving the Nan Yuan City, Ning Cheng finally felt a bit rxed. To be honest, he was not really afraid of Lan Yin Yue. Although Lan Yin Yue was already at True Condensation 8th Level, as Ning Cheng already knew from the mouth of Fang Jiyan. Because the resources and the Spiritual Qi in the Ping Continent were scarce, thus the Cultivation Methods in the Ping Continents have their own limitations and were actually notplete since the time they were created, and even their Spiritual Sense was a lot weaker. In other words, even though Lan Yin Yue was a cultivator at the True Condensation 8th Level, in fact her true cultivation level was much below that of the genuine True Condensation 8th Level. What Ning Cheng feared was the Essence Building Realm Cultivator of the Clear Heart Academy, once that cultivator in the Essence Building Realm stepped into the Nan Yuan City, then he really wouldnt be able to walk away. ording to Ning Chengs idea, as long as he left the Nan Yuan City, it would be tantamount to being safe. He would then try to find a secluded ce, and then use his Flying Sword to fly back to the Daan Forest. Then passing through the Daan Forest, he would try to enter the Yuan Continent. But just as Ning Cheng left the Nan Yuan City, he felt that he someone was following him. Ning Cheng immediately sped up, although he was not much worried in his heart. If he really was being targeted by a cultivator in the Essence Building Realm, he wouldnt be able walk away. But if it was a cultivator at the True Condensation Realm who was following him, he simply would not need to fear him. In Ning Chengs opinion, a cultivator at the Essence Building Realm would never be bored enough to stalk a cultivator in the Qi Gathering Realm, in this ce like the Nan Yuan City, the possibility for such a thing to happen was basically zero. An hourter, the person who was following Ning Cheng suddenly elerated. At this time Ning Cheng could clearly see who was trying to follow him, it was Miao Li Hu from the Mingot Citys Wolf Pce. He knew that Miao Li Hu hated Ning Cheng to the bone, but he did not think that he would be so persistent, and even chase him till Nan Yuan City. Fortunately, An Yi was regarded highly by the Clear Heart Academy, otherwise it would really be dangerous for An Yi. Half a year ago, he could not clearly see the cultivation level of Miao Li Hu, but now he could clearly see that Miao Li Hu had the cultivation of True Condensation 4th Level. For a cultivator at the True Condensation Realm who was unable to step on a Flying Sword to fly, this made Ning Cheng to not be wary Miao Li Hu. For him, Miao Li Hu just came at the right time, he really wanted to try out the power of the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle. Little bastard, even if you run away again, this father will definitely burn you and let your ashes be buried along with my dead son. Miao Li Hu said after seeing that Ning Cheng had actually stopped, immediately letting out a thunderous roar before stopping in front of Ning Chen, in his opinion, Ning Cheng should have already been petrified by his presence. Ning Cheng unhurriedly said, Miao Li Hu, you may be able unt your swagger in Mingot City, but in this ce, you do not have the qualification to be arrogant. Heres what I dont understand, how did you know that I just got out of the city? Someone delivered a message to you, right? When Miao Li Hu saw that Ning Cheng was actually not petrified, but was actually speaking quite calmly and in a leisure manner, he was immediately shocked. But then he responded immediately, and spoke in a fierce voice, Die for me...... While speaking, his hands turned a scarlet colour as he moved it towards Ning Cheng, he really hated Ning Cheng to the bone, so he really did not want to wait for even a single moment. Buzz...... his scarlet coloured hand flew across the air, and was giving off an extremely miserable humming sounds, whichpletely sealed the entire space around Ning Cheng. Originally the environment around him was clear as the blue sky above him, but under the influence of the scarlet blood coloured light from the hands of Miao Li Hu, it immediately descended into a dark and gloomy atmosphere. Just like countless hungry ghosts, a bloody mist pounced onto Ning Cheng. Under this bloody mist, Ning Cheng became somewhat absent minded, he obviously knew that he should move out of the way quickly, but his body waspletely shrouded by a bloody mist which covered him from head to toe, it even made him feel a bit dazed. The Mysterious Yellow Bead immediately let out its Mysterious Yellow Qi, which covered the entire surface of Ning Chengs body with a pale yellow light, Ning Cheng suddenly became alert, and without any hesitation madly started circting his Qi, taking out his Flying Sword he immediately sent out a Sword Light form it. This Sword Light under the agitation of Ning Chengs Qi, immediately split the scarlet fog to create a gap in front of him. Ning Cheng at once rushed out through the gap. Even if it was like that, a bloody light sted towards Ning Chengs chest. Bang...... Ning Cheng had just left the scarlet fog, when a fierce explosion sound came from the ce where he was just standing at. Ning Cheng was shocked to discover, that the ce where he was just a moment ago blew up to form a huge pit, and this pit was also dark red in colour, it was as if blood had spilled on that ground since a long time. He subconsciously lowered his head for a moment, and saw that the clothes on his chest had a long gash, which revealed the inner dragon hide armour that was given by the old woman. There was a lingering fear in Ning Chengs heart now, if he had not been wearing the inner armour, then that scarlet light would have cut out a deep and bloody gash out of his chest just a moment ago. Slowly heaving a sigh, Ning Cheng then looked at the Artefact in Miao Li Hus hands, it unexpectedly turned out to be arge scarlet streamer with an indistinct skull on it. The scarlet light, along with the dismal atmosphere, and the scarlet light that blew up on his chest, all of it came out of the bloody red banner. If not for the help from the Mysterious Yellow Bead, perhaps he would have already been dead. At the same time Ning Cheng in his heart was also scared a bit, he was aware that although he had umted argebat experience, but it was mostly against Monstrous Beasts. Although he was a cultivator at the Qi Gathering Realm, he unexpectedly dared to look down upon Miao Li Hu who was cultivator at the True Condensation Realm, was this not him courting death? True Condensation Cultivators, even if it was someone with poor qualifications, they simply cannot be treated as ordinary people. Ning Cheng did not dare to be negligent anymore, and once again unleashed a Sword Light from the Flying Sword in his hands, which chased towards Miao Li Hu. What...... Miao Li Hu shockingly looked towards the huge pit that was created by his attack, for a Qi Gathering 4th Level Cultivator to escape from his Scarlet Ghost Streamer, it was his first time seeing such a thing. In his opinion, it was simply impossible for such a thing to happen, for a Qi Gathering 4th Level cultivator, it was fundamentally impossible to escape from his Scarlet Ghost Streamer. This Ning Cheng was clearly a Qi Gathering 4th Level cultivator, but not only did he escape his Scarlet Ghost Streamer, he even used a Flying Sword to counter attack. Eight Ice Cold Sword Lights arrived, it seemed as if the entire space around him was frozen. Thispletely sealed up area around him, and did not even leave any room for him to move. You are not a Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator...... Miao Li Hu waspletely shocked as he called out, while he once again wielded the big streamer in his hands. No matter how powerful a Qi Gathering Cultivator was, they would never be able to cast out this kind of an Ice Sword Light, moreover continuously casting eight of them, although these eight Sword Lights were not connected or linked up to each other, but it was actually enough to threaten the True Condensation Realm Cultivator with the surname Miao. Once they were linked up into one, even he would find it extremely difficult to resist. For a Qi Gathering 4th Level Cultivator for release such a fearful Ice Sword Qi, he did not dare believe it. After the shock, he quickly calmed down, although Ning Chengs counter attack was truly powerful, but he still believed that he could get rid of Ning Cheng. Chi Chi...... The Ice Sword Light of Ning Cheng and the Scarlet Light of Miao Li Hus streamer shed together, creating a Chi Chi sound which resounded in the air, which sounded like the tearing of rags. The 8 Sword Ice Lights were swept away by the scarlet light from this big bloody streamer, and the chilling cold that came from the ice Sword Lights immediately weakened. Miao Li Hu felt a bit happy, these 8 Ice Sword Qi were weak and cannot link up with each other into a single unit. As long as he could suppress Ning Chengs 8 Ice Sword Qi, he believed that he could easily kill Ning Cheng. At this time, in the sh between the 8 Sword Lights condensed from the Ice Sword Qi and the scarlet light, once more 4 Ice Sword Lights emerged out of thin air. When these 4 Ice Sword Qi came out, the 8 Ice Sword Lights Qi from a moment before, which were scattered throughout the area instantaneously converged into one. Forming a Sword Net, the big scarlet streamer waspletely frozen in the middle of the sword. This, this is a Profound Grade Sword Technique...... Miao Li Hu felt his own spirit fly away, he did not think even for a moment that Ning Cheng would even have a Profound Grade Sword Technique on him. Although he had not seen this type of sword technique before, but that did not mean that he could not judge what was right in front of him. This person who he considered as an ant in front of his eyes really had such a fearful sword technique. Seeing the Profound Grade Sword Technique in front of him, Miao Li Hu knew that if he did not walk away from here immediately, he would really end up dying in this ce today. He always felt that Ning Cheng was inferior to him, but when he had fought with Ning Cheng before, he felt that he would not be able to kill him. But now he came to fully understand, that it was because Ning Cheng possessed the Profound Grade Sword Technique, as such he might not be able to do so. Miao Li Hu did not know that he had guessed wrong, it was true that in terms of Qi he really was inferior to him. So when he fought with Ning Cheng, it was really weird for him, it was not because Ning Cheng was using the 36 Ice Sword Technique, but because Ning Chengs Spiritual Sense was much more formidable than him. In the battle of wits between the cultivators, the person who has a stronger Spiritual Sense would alwayse out on top, Miao Li Hu had not realised the importance of Spiritual Sense, so it really would not be strange if he were to be defeated. In other words, as long as his Spiritual Sense was on par with Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng certainly would not be his opponent, that was why Ning Cheng was able to match up to him easily. Miao Li Hu simply ignored the injury that his Scarlet Ghost Streamer received from the Ice Sword Qi, and sent out a ferocious blow with his palm, while at the same time took the Scarlet Streamer and rapidly retreated, he did not want to fight with Ning Cheng anymore. At this time, a thin and fine needle which was hidden in the sword shadows appeared and disappeared through the gaps of the big Scarlet Streamer, and in an instant it disappeared into Miao Li Hus body. Miao Liu who was crazily retreating suddenly stopped, he was staring at Ning Cheng, and wanted to say something, but the next moment he felt like his heart was struck from a blow of an extremely heavy hammer, and it instantly exploded. With his heart exploding, he still had an unwilling look in his eyes as he fell to the ground with a loud thump. Is it really this powerful? When Ning Cheng saw Miao Li Hu lying on the ground, he muttered to himself. The Profound Grade 36 Ice Sword Technique had given him a surprise, but the surprise given by the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique, he really did not expect it. He thought that when Miao Li Hu was attacked by the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle, he would still be able to resist for a moment or two, but he did not expect that he would not be able to resist it for even half a moment. This made Ning Cheng realise that, he really had grossly underestimated his own 7 Pleiades Ice Needle. Chapter 0058 – A Terrible Battle Scene Chapter 0058 C A Terrible Battle Scene Hua Continent. In the Yi Xing Maind there were three low ss continents, out of which the Spiritual Qi of the Hua Continent is the thickest. If the Jia Continent and the Hua Continent were not separated by these endless and vast looking mountains, the Spiritual Qi present in the Hua Continent would have been much thicker, in fact it would be so dense that the Hua Continent could be then easily considered as an Intermediate ss Continent. On the Hua Continent, there were 6 extremely powerful countries, there were also numerous big and small ns and sectsparable to them and as such it is impossible to try and quantify their size or power. But the absolute top of the Hua Continent was the five 5 Star Academies, these five 5 Star Academies were existences that were truly beyond any country/n/sect. Even if it was the Hua Continents most powerful and formidable country, they would not dare to be rude to any of the 5 Star Academies. If one removed the 5 Star Academies, the Hua Continents most famous were undoubtedly the 6 big counties, next to the 6 big countries were the 7 respected ns, they were not much weaker than the 6 big countries in strength. But the most famous of the 7 ns was the Shui n of the East Water Country, although the Shui n is one of the 7 most respected and the strongest ns of the Hua Continent, but because they have a cultivator in the Profound Core Realm, as such they were more powerful than the other ns in the continent. In the Lower ss Continent, only the 5 Star Academy and a few individual countries had a cultivator in the Profound Core Realm. But in the Shui n, there was a cultivator in the Profound Core Realm, that is why they deserved to be the first of the 7 ns. If not for that, the overall strength of the Shui n was rtively poor, and could only safely exist within the country. At this moment in the Shui ns Manor, a family meeting was taking ce, a middle aged man was shouting at a youth by his side. The youth is already had the cultivation of the True Condensation Realm, but had his head down, despite being yelled at, he did not dare to open his mouth. The Shui ns general assembly was something that all the elders of the Shui n had to participate in, moreover these elders brought one or two of their most outstanding children to the General Assembly. This middle aged man who was scolding the youth was called Shui Gao Yuan, and was one of the Essence Building Elders of the Shui n, and the one who he was scolding was one of the two most outstanding sons that he had, Shui Feng Ji. Less than 30 of age, but already had the cultivation of True Condensation 4th Level. The patience of the youth who was being scolded finally snapped, suddenly he looked up and said loudly, That Ji Luo Fei is simply disfigured, why do you want me to marry her? Even if you just picked up a random woman, she would be a hundred times prettier than her. When the middle aged man saw that his son unexpectedly dared to argue with him, he immediately stood up and said in an angry voice, You understand my ass, Ji Luo Fei was not born ugly, once her face was restored, how many people do you think would beparable to her in the Falling Star Academy? Although recovering ones appearance in this Hua Continent is a bit difficult, but in an Intermediate ss Continent it is an easy thing, you idiot. At this time the old man sitting at the topmost position waved his hand, and loudly interrupted the angry middle aged man, Gao Yuan, do not scold Feng Ji, the young people always have their own ideas. Since Ji Luo Fei has a disfigured face, so he presumably thought that she was a bit ugly. When the middle aged man heard this old man speak, he did not dare to continue to speak, and quickly sat down. This was the head of the Shui n, Shui Cheng Hua, and already had the cultivation of the initial stages of the Profound Congealing Realm. In the Shui n, besides their ancestor in the Profound Core Realm who has been in secluded closed door cultivation for many years, everyone had to listen to the words spoken by him, for the other n members the words spoken by him were akin to words spoken by god himself. Shui Yu is willing to take Ji Luo Fei as his wife, but also requests the master of the house to take the decision for me. At this time, sitting not far from the position of the Shuis ns head, a youth took the initiative to stand up and bow speaking those words. Are you really willing to marry Ji Luo Fei? You dont mind her having a disfigured face? The n Head, Shui Cheng Hua asked with some doubt and amazement in his voice. Not waiting for Shui Yu to speak, the man sitting across from Shui Yu also stood up and said, n Master, Shui Yu is one of my disciples with the highest qualifications, his future is limitless, how could he be married to that disfigured Ji Luo Fei? With that, he turned his head towards Shui Yu and earnestly said, Shui Yu, your father is out, so you cant act stupid and cause troubles for him. The young man called Shui Yu and gave a very respectful bow, and then solemnly said, I am not that impulsive, I already had thought about marrying Ji Luo Fei for a long time. Ji Luo Feis qualifications and aptitude is not much worse than me, I believe that when shees home to my Shui n, it would only benefit our Shui n in the future, there will not be any harm. Regarding her face, I am not concerned about it. The man in front of him on hearing this youth Shui Yus words, immediately clenched his fists. Originally he was the one who wanted to marry Ji Luo Fei, but he did not think that Shui Yu would take the initiative to speak first. At this time when Shui Yu spoke, he also knew that he liked Ji Luo Fei, but did not dare to stand up and grab her from Shui Yus grasp. Only he knew that Shui Yus words were credible, Shui Yu waspletely attracted to Ji Luo Feis peerless charm and beauty. Thats right, it was because of the beautiful appearance. Although Ji Luo Feis was disfigured, but her body was unparalleled, it made it hard for people to dismiss her from their mind. Once her face was restored, her beauty would absolutely be unmatched. Not to mention her appearance, but even Ji Luo Feis qualifications were outstanding, if she became his wife, he could certainly borrow her strength in the future. Unfortunately, that Shui ns disciple Shui Feng Ji was really a blind person, he could only see that Ji Luo Feis face was not good. But, I heard that Ji Luo Fei also has an aunt called Ji Yao He. Cheng Zhou, you go look for Ji Yao He, and discuss the marriage with Shui Yu. Remember to show Shui ns sincerity, just because Ji Luo Fei has a disfigured face you cannot be disrespectful to them. When Shui Yu heard Shui Chen Huas words, he was extremely happy. For his Shui family to have such an exceptional disciple he felt really satisfied. Although he had not seen or met Ji Yao He before, but he had heard that the Ji Luo Feis qualifications and intelligence in the Falling Star Academy was very good. The only regret was, Ji Luo Fei had a disfigured face. Yes, n Master. An extremely lean man stood up and replied while bowing. ...... At this point of time Ning Cheng had already entered the Daan Forest nearly a month ago, ording to Ning Chengs estimates, in this month, he had nearly covered about half the distance ording to the map. Walking through the Daan Forest for more than a month, Ning Chengs understanding of the Daan Forest became even more profound. He was d that he had obtained a map of this ce, if he did not have a map, then if he had already not lost his way in the Daan Forest, he would have died in the mouths of the high level Monstrous Beasts. Even though he had the map, he was almost killed several times by a high level Monstrous Beasts. On this trip, he did not know how many times he saw dense clusters of bones. In addition to the bones from the Monstrous Beasts, there were also many bones from humans. From this it could be seen that throughout the history, there have been many people who died in Daan forest. However, his harvest was also by no means small, not only did he find over a hundred Rank 1 Spiritual Grasses, he also found several dozens of Rank 2 Spiritual Grasses. What surprised him the most was, he was even able to obtain a Rank 4 Rainbow Light Grass, but on the contrary he did not find a single Rank 3 Spiritual Grass. Although Rainbow Light Grass was a Rank 4 Spiritual Grass, but it was extremely rare even for a Rank 4 Spiritual Grass, and although Ning Cheng did not know much about Alchemy and thus cannot refine Pills, but he was pretty familiar with some of the uses of the Spiritual Grass which he had read from the books that were provided to him from An Yi. The Rainbow Light grass can help restore the Core Lake of a person, and is even one of the ingredients required to refine the Profound Core Pill. Of course using the Rainbow Light Grass to refine a Profound Core Pill was too outrageous at this point, after all to refine a pill on the level of the Profound Core Pill required Tier 4 Pill Master, and Ning Cheng did not know a single Alchemy Masters at this point, let alone a Tier 4 Pill Master who could refine it. Walking in the Daan Forest, although one will surely encounter a few of such opportunities, but they often would have to carry their heads in their hands. Although Ning Cheng could use his Flying Sword to fly, but he does not dare to fly even ten meters. Flying in this kind of ce, it would only lead to dying quicker. Not only one could not afford to fly here, even when one was walking, one must try to be as careful as possible. Ning Cheng by virtue of his caution, had been able to travel nearly halfway through the forest. However, in thest two days, Ning Cheng felt that something was not right. That was because he did not even encounter a single Monstrous Beast for the past 2 days, even normal wild beasts could not be seen. It was dead silent all around, if he did not have the clearly defined map that he had memorized in his head, even he would have thought that he was going the wrong way. Ning Cheng began to walk slower, almost half a dayter, a burst of hot air blew towards him, when Ning Cheng saw the scene in front of him, he was immediately stunned speechless. In front of him for an area of several dozen miles, the entire area had many crisscrossing ravines, and waspletely devoid of any trees. In the Daan Forest, although there were some open spaces, but there was never a ce like this in front of him, all the ravines crisscrossed with each other, and not even a single tree could be seen. Rather than saying that there wasnt a single tree in sight, Ning Cheng saw a few broken trees that were lying scattered throughout in those ravines. A sharp Killing Intent could be felting out of the ravines, this Killing Intent made Ning Cheng feel really ufortable. What a terrifying battle scene, Ning Cheng came to realize that the scene in front of him was a result of a fight between two extremely powerful people. Before he and Feng Fei Zhang had gone to the Mingot Sea Area at that time, he had also met two masters fighting with each other. But if onepared that fight to the battle scene in front of him, it was simply likeparing heaven and earth, one simply could simply not make aparison between the two. Ning Cheng did not dare to directly pass through this battle field, even if this battle field in front of him had been abandoned a long time ago, he could still feel the Killing Intent that filled the air. Moreover, this was just the edge of the battlefield, once he entered the battlefield, this Killing Intent would definitely be much stronger, whether he could bear it or die, he could only choose one of the two. Ning Cheng was just about to carefully go around this fearful battlefield, when a section of the ground which was revealed made him immediately stop in his tracks. Chapter 0059 – Two Kinds Of Murderous Auras Chapter 0059 C Two Kinds Of Murderous Auras It was a Spear Artefact; it certainly was the case. After Ning Cheng saw that Spear, he did not move any further. He did not like to use his Flying Sword against his enemies, what he really wanted a powerful long ranged Artefact like ance or a Spear. Moreover, he also had the Profound Grade Spear Technique 36 Thick Ice Spears, which made Ning Cheng want a Spear even more. Unfortunately, he only had a Flying Sword, and nothing else. Now that there was a long Spear, although this Spear was already broken at the tip, but for Ning Cheng, it still had an infinite attraction. He did not know the cultivation level of the people who fought here, to create such a frightful battlefield in front of him, but he knew that their cultivation levels would definitely not be bad. With the cultivation levels of the two powerful masters fighting here, how could they not leave such a scene behind? Ning Cheng slowly moved towards the centre of the crisscrossed ravines, where the fighting seemed to be more concentrated, originally he was at the edge of this ravine, and felt the aggressive Killing Intent that the air was filled with. But when he took his first step into the battlefield, this kind of formidable thirst for blood, almost immediately tore his clothes to shreds. This Killing Intent was just like an extremely sharp knife slicing through him, and when it swept past Ning Chengs body, Ning Chengs body was immediately covered by several dozen cuts from which blood spilled out unceasingly. Although the bloody cuts were shallow, but the blood streaming out instantly stained Ning Chengs body in a bloody red colour. Ning Cheng did not dare to take the second step, although he was attracted to the Spear Artefact, it also did not stop him from dropping out from the crisscrossed ravines if he wanted to. He stopped, while he operated his Qi to slowly heal himself, at the same time he started to advanced slowly. Even if he had to spend several months here, he wanted to get his hands on that Spear. Alchemy and Crafting were not easy, Ning Cheng had already known about it. If he lost such a Spear Artefact here, if he did not get it, he would not be able to sleep at night. As Ning Cheng let his Qi to flow though his Meridians, the originally stationary Mysterious Yellow Bead in his Dantian suddenly started to spin, and a Mysterious Yellow Qi started to mix with his own Qi, fully prating through Ning Chengs Meridians. Ning Cheng unexpectedly sat down in the middle of the crisscrossing ravines that was filled with the Killing Intent, in his mind appeared shadows of two people. These two shadows were standing in the sky above the Daan Forest, one of them was wielding a long Spear, and the other person was wielding a Great Axe. Of the two shadows fighting in the air above the Daan Forest, the shadow wielding the Spear seems to be dominating, while the shadow wielding the Great Axe seemed to be in a bit of disadvantage. In just a short period of time, this originally densely packed ce that was filled with trees werepletely devastated and only a few charred stumps of the trees remained. The murderous path of the Spear was something that could be vaguely sensed by Ning Cheng, in his consciousness, suddenly the entire picture became static as one picture after another shed by very slowly, that figure with the Spear Artefact in his hands, as if wanting to get rid of the Artefact, immediately thrust out his Spear. The Spear immediately brought out several tens of thousands Spear Shadows, this kind of Spear moves filled with such dense Killing Intent immediately made Ning Cheng breathless. Such strength, it immediately made Ning Chengs heart tremble, he immediately became alert, he had just felt a hint of the residual Killing Intenting from the Spear, and had already suffered to such a state. If he was to face the actual Killing Intent from that Spear, he could only close his eyes and wait for his death. Perhaps he would not even have to wait for his death, as long as that terrible Killing Intent came out, it would be enough for him to bepletely annihted by it into nothingness. This intensive brutal Killing Intent that emanated from the Spear swept through almost the entire Daan Forest, it seemed as if it wanted to tear apart the entire Daan Forest. He did not know how, in the face of this terrible destructive Spear Shadows, did the Great Axe wielding shadow n on resisting it. But he could vaguely feel, that the movements of the Spear Shadows seemed to be a bit weird. All of a sudden, there was a severe pain in his mind, at the same time he could no longer see the counter attack by the Great Axe wielding shadow. He could only feel a terrible pain in his head, which felt as if it would tear his head apart, the next moment he immediately spurted out a spray of blood from his mouth. Spitting out a mouthful of blood Ning Chengs face looked a bit pale, but he still did not retreat back, rather he slowly stood up, and raised his hand, the Flying Sword appeared in his hands. At the same time, he stabbed his Flying Sword out as a Spear. Shoop just like an arrow that was just shot out, the Flying Sword in his hands brought out a long Sword Light, which tore through the surrounding Killing Intent. This sword of Ning Cheng,pletely tore through the surrounding Killing Intent, making it so that this Killing Intent to not impact him again in the slightest. Was this the Dao of that Spear? Ning Cheng in his heart was very excited, he did not think that he would be able toprehend such a Dao of the Spear in this kind of ce. If he were toprehend this Dao of the Spearpletely, wouldnt his battle proficiency rise up to a new level? Thats not right, Ning Cheng suddenly stopped, the momentary joy on his face immediately disappeared without a trace. In his mind appeared a few ws in this Spears Dao which were as clear as day, moreover these ws were fatal. Originally, when the Spear wielding shadow disyed his technique, there was no way for his Spear to turn into countless Spear Shadows with simrly fearful strengths, what he had used was a second Spear for assistance. Thats right, it was a second Spear, because that person could truly could not aplish such a feat with just a single Spear, so he had to use up several secondary Spears to help out andplement each other. It was also precisely because of this, that the tracks of the Spears seemed to be wed. If that Great Axe wielding person got hold of that w, then the Spear wielding shadow would have surely lost without a doubt. Ning Chengsplexion immediately turned pale again, he saw the ravine in front of him, and understood it very clearly, that the Spear wielding shadow had certainly lost. The ravine in front of him was very deep, but the surrounding ravines were rtively small and narrow, and even the Killing Intent around them was also weak. The reason why Ning Chengsplexion turned pale, was because he had alsoprehended this superficial Dao of this Spear a moment ago. It meant that if in the future he fought with an enemy with such half assed knowledge, then as long as his opponent grabbed onto the ws of the Spear Technique, he would also face the same disastrous defeat. Even if he did not have the support of the secondary Spear, he came to realise that this Spear Technique was unable to flow smoothly, and thus would always have a little w duringbat. Although he knew that this person was unable to link up his Spear with the other Spears, and as such let his Spear Technique have a few fatal ws. But from a psychological point of view, Ning Cheng who was still standing near the Spear, still wanted to use the Spear as his weapon Artefact. Simrly, Ning Cheng finally understood that the ravine in the middle contained the remnants of that persons Spear, the others should be from the persons other secondary Spears. After that Spear wielding person lost, even his support from the auxiliary Spears could not help him. Obviously he would suffer a disastrous defeat. However, Ning Cheng quickly abandoned the idea, thinking about his current cultivation level and that of the masters who just fought, it was simply a dream, so he did not think too much of it. In the future he would definitely be able to reach the level of the two masters who just fought, plus more or less he had already corrected some the ws of the Spear Technique a long time ago in his mind. Putting this idea aside, that Spear once again started to emit that Killing Intent which rushed towards Ning Cheng, while in his mind it was getting increasingly clear about the methodology to utilize the Spear. Although Ning Cheng did not understand itpletely, but the aura that hadpletely enveloped him before and now was not the Killing Intent of the Spear, but was rather a trace of the true meaning of the Spear. If anyone came to know that Ning Cheng, who just had the trivial cultivation of Qi Gathering Realm, could induce the scene of the fight from the Killing Intent in the surroundings, and evenprehend a hint of the true meaning of the Spear. Even if Ning Cheng hid beyond the horizon, people would still pursue him and once caught, they would tear him up little by little to study him thoroughly. Ning Cheng knew why he was able to induce the fearful fight scene, it had nothing to do with his qualifications or his intelligence or monstrousprehension ability, rather it was because of the Mysterious Yellow Bead. After just a few breaths, Ning Cheng took a gulp, lifted both his hands once, and stirred up a Spear Intent from his hands. The surrounding Killing Intent around him immediately lightened up and weakened substantially. Ning Cheng was delighted in his heart, and quickly sped up his pace. He had nned to spend several months to get to the ce where that vicious broken Spear was at, but he never thought that he would be able toprehend a sliver of the Killing Intent from the Spear, and would be able to walk towards the middle of the ravine so quickly. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng arrived at a ce that was not far from one of the halves of the broken Spear. Ning Cheng wanted to take a step forward, and grasp the remnant of the Spear in his hands. When a more aggressive and fierce murderous sted out, directly sting towards the chest of Ning Cheng. This Killing Intent, whenpared to the Killing Intent from the Spear before, was much more aggressive and fierce, and Ning Cheng was immediately sent flying because of this terrible Killing Intent. As Ning Cheng once again coughed out another mouthful of blood, in Ning Chengs consciousness, at the same time, appeared the Great Axe wielding shadow. Ning Cheng stood up tremblingly, he could still feel his leg shaking, this had nothing to do with fear, but because the Killing Intent of that Great Axe was just too terrible, making him feel that there was absolutely no way to resist it. This must be the Great Axe shadow that broke the Spear, it really is too overbearing. Only after a long time, did Ning Cheng uttered those words. Ning Cheng was very clear at this time, if he could not block the Killing Intent of the Great Axe, he absolutely would have no means to take out the broken Spear. Even if the Spear was in reach of his fingertips, he could only look at it and not touch it. Bah looking at his chest that had been sted a moment ago, only to see the armour through the gap, Ning Cheng spit out a mouthful of spittle as he said to himself, This father will definitely have the Spear today. Ning Cheng made up his mind, and carefully approached the ravine that emitted the Killing Intent from the Great Axe. Just when he approached it, that Great Axe Shadow immediately emitted a rumbling noise, which again blew him out. He continued toprehend the Killing Intent that was being emitted as he continued to plod forward. Thrown out, getting injured, gaining a slight insight from it, going forward.... once again being thrown out, once again getting injured, once again gaining a slight insight from it, once again going forward.... Ning Cheng was time and time again being blown out of the ravine as he sustained more and more injuries, but every time he took a step forward he would gain more and more insights. Time and time again this kind thing kept repeating, while the Killing Intent being emitted from the Great Axe was slowly clearing up in the consciousness of Ning Cheng. Pressing forward with an indomitable will, with boundless and overpowering momentum, with no room to look back, this was the imposing manner of this Great Axe. Just in terms of momentum, the Killing Intent that was being emitted from the Great Axe shadow was much fiercer that the Killing Intent that Ning Cheng had felt from the Spear Intent previously. This was not because the cultivation of the Great Axe wielding person was higher than the cultivation of the Spear wielding person, but because of its thirst for blood that he won, as for the thirst for blood for the one who lost, it was just simply notparable. Ning Cheng cannot remember how many times he was blown out of the ravine, moreover there was not even one inch of space on his body that was still intact, even his face had numerous clusters of bloody scars. However, he was not surprised, but rather he looked pleased, once again rushing forward, at the same time using the Flying Sword in his hands to perform a chop. This time he regarded the Flying Sword in his hands as a Great Axe, and at once used it to hack. The Sword Qi aroused the Killing Intent of the surrounding ravines, and sent out intermittent crackling explosions. In a very short moment after that, Ning Cheng stopped, at present he was staring at the ravine that was immediately in front of him. Before he would have been easily killed by the Killing Intent that blew him out time and time again, but at this time it was no longer able to blow him back even half a step. Ning Cheng was standing before the ravine that was split by the huge axe, a twinkling of an enlightment appeared in his mind. He did not know for how long he had been standing there, but when Ning Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, his body issued a soft echo, and a powerful Qi started flowing throughout his body, it was simr to a stream of flowing water, even the sound of it was bing increasingly clear. A touch of surprise appeared in the eyes of Ning Cheng, this was the first time that he did not have to use Spirit Stones to cultivate, moreover without using any outside resources was able to advance in his cultivation. He had now officially advanced to Qi Gathering 9th Level, and it waspletely due to himprehending the two types of Killing Intents. Chapter 0060 – Gold Coins and Spirit Stones Chapter 0060 C Gold Coins and Spirit Stones Ning Cheng then put away the Flying Sword, and at the same time used his fist to send out a punch while standing in the same ce. He came to realise that because of the residual traces of the Killing Intent of the Great Axe in the ravine, it made him want to urgently wanted to try out this power of axe that he acquired. However, because the Flying Sword in his hands was not veryfortable, he simply used his fists as a Great Axe. Bang.... Ning Cheng, using his fist as an axe directly blew away the Killing Intent in front of him as if it didnt exist in the first ce, as it made a dull sound. Even the Killing Intent in the surroundings was also sted away as if it was mud, and scattered in all directions. Although the Killing Intent still flocked back again, but it was not as sharp as before. Ha Ha.... Ning Chengughed, he took a step forward and raised his hand to grip the broken Spear, So its like that. Although he had onlyprehended a small hint of the Killing Intent of the Great Axe, but when he used his fist as an axe, he directly blew open the residual Killing Intent around him, and it even had a very smooth feel to it. He certainly knew that the Great Axe was also here, because of the residual Killing Intent, although the Great Axes aura was a million times weaker than before, but at least this time, the residual Killing Intent around him had already been blown away by a punch from his fist. Whats more, he was able to wield his own fist like an axe. It was also because of his fist that he was able to blow away the residual Killing Intent, that was the reason why he said that to himself. In Ning Chengs view, this person was a genuine extremely powerful master, even if one came here after countless years, the traces of the Killing Intent would not disappearpletely. As for the two people that fought here, they had obviously not fought here for a long time, and as such the Killing Intent had already been 99% dissipated. But even after a long period of time, the Killing Intent around here although would have diminished by half, it would definitely not cease to exist. Even if Ning Cheng knew more than others, since he was a being from a different world, he couldprehend from the two different types of Killing Intents present here that the fight had started between them because of a disagreement. Laughing all the while, Ning Cheng had already stirred up his Qi, and drew out the broken Spear with his hands. A powerful aura immediately prated Ning Chengs entire body through his senses, it felt as if just extending the Spear in his hand, he could blow up the entire surroundings around him. At this moment it felt that his hands were in control of whole world, Ning Cheng knew that it was just an illusion, but he was still rejoicing in his heart. This Spear that he was holding in his hand, had a heavy feeling to it, but when hepared it to the Flying Sword, but he could clearly feet that the Spear was more suitable for him. The Spear was nearly eight feet long, but what made Ning Cheng feel a bit of regret was, not only the Spear had a broken grip, but even the Spear head had a broken tip. Even if that was the case, Ning Cheng still felt that this Spear was not as simple as it looked. Ning Cheng did not move from his ce, and remained in the same ce where he was standing, after sitting he immediately began refining the Spear. Ning Cheng set up a Restriction while he continued to refine it, and the powerful aura of the Spear that was lingering outside gradually began to weaken and dissipate. He also did not know how much time had passed, but Ning Cheng once again stood up holding the Spear in his hands, and immediately stabbed out with it. In the surrounding air, a loud buzz could be heard from the Spear, the sound that it was producing was just like a thin wicker brush in the air. After his stabbed out with the Spear, at this moment the air in front of the Spear waspletely split apart. The next moment Ning Cheng shook the Spear a bit, just like a flick, and brought out 12 Spear Shadows, these Spear Shadows were like a sparsework of Spears, and the space in front of the was entirely in his control. The surrounding air instantly turned ice cold in a twinkling of an eye, the icy cold made the air to feel like a dense liquid, which would make any person trapped in it to be stranded and unable to escape easily. The Profound Grade 36 Ice Spears technique, this was the genuine Profound Grade 36 Ice Spears Technique. Ning Cheng in his heart was pleasantly surprised, when he used the Spear to cast the 36 Ice Spear Technique, the imposing manner and the might was far beyond that of when he used it with his Flying Sword, it just was simply something that couldnt bepared. At this moment in Ning Chengs heart, there were only a single word that could describe the Profound Grade 36 Ice Spear Techniques, formidable. Putting away the long Spear, Ning Cheng with its imposing manner and might, felt that at this moment if he were to face that True Condensation 4th Level Cultivator named Miao Li Hu, even without using the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle, he was sure that he could kill him. Unfortunately, the Spear was broken, and thus he was unable to stabilize the quality. This Spear in Ning Chengs hands, felt just like a low grade Artefact. But when he thrusted out with the Spear, he could feel that the quality of the Artefact was raised to the high grade. And when he utilised it to perform the Profound Grade 36 Ice Technique, this Spear could then even beparable to a best quality Artefact. Ning Cheng did not have even the slightest doubt, that once he disyed a more fearful Spear Technique, then this broken Spear Artefact may very well turn into a low level Spiritual Grade Artefact. From this Ning Cheng inferred, that this broken looking Spear was actually not broken, and was definitely a top level Artefact that was even above the Spiritual Grade. Moreover, the refining technique that was used to create it was definitely not ordinary, although the Spear was destroyed, the remnants of the Spear was still able to maintain itself as a Magical Artefact. Ning Cheng had not been in contact with many Magical Artefacts, he had only seen some records. He knew that after amon Artefact was broken, then it bes almost impossible to use it, and one would have to restore it once again to use it again. Although this Spear was broken but he was still able to use it, it showed that the refining method that was used to craft it was definitely not ordinary. Ning Cheng found a blue cloth among the possessions that he had and wrapped the broken Spear in it and tied it to his back, although this Spear was broken, and although it could still be upgraded through refining, but the fact was, his Flying Sword could not even bepared to it. Although the size of the Flying Sword could be changed by imbuing it with ones Spiritual Sense, but the size of the broken Spear could not be changed. Ning Chengs Storage Bag had only a single cubic meter of storage space, but this broken Spear had already surpassed two meters in length. Besides carrying it on his back, Ning Cheng could only carry it in his hands. Now that he had alreadyprehended the two Killing Intents in these crisscrossing ravines, Ning Cheng crossed this ce at his maximum speed. Looking back at the huge and terrible battleground, Ning Cheng understood in his heart that to raise ones power, not only hard work was needed but it also relied heavily on luck. While crossing the Daan Forest, he unexpectedly not only obtained a Spear, but was even able toprehend two different types of Killing Intents. His battle efficiency had once again surged dramatically, if this was not good fortune then what was it. ...... Auntie, I will not agree to it. Ji Luo Fei faced Ji Yao He and replied without hesitation. Not to say that Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Feis marriage has still not been annulled, but she had even vowed to herself that other than Ning Cheng, in this life she would not marry anyone else. Even without these, she did not intend to marry anyone else. At this moment in her heart, it was only filled with cultivation, and then even more cultivation. Once her cultivation level was high enough, she would take a trip to the Daan Forest to see why her parents were unable to get out of the Daan Forest. Now that her paternal aunt wanted her to marry her off to the East Water Countrys Shui ns Shui Yu, she did not even think about it and tly refused. Ji Yao He immediately frowned, and slowing down her tone as much as possible she said, Luo Fei, the Shui n is one of the seven respected ns of the Hua Continent, they even have a mighty cultivator of the Profound Core Realm. That Shui Yu is also the genius of the Shui n, what more could my Ji n want? Now there are only the two of us. You even have a dual Main Spiritual Roots, if you could marry into the Shui n, you could certainly advance to a much higher level in the future. Otherwise, even if you stay in the Falling Star Academy, it would be difficult for you to advance further. After a pause, Ji Yao He continued earnestly, Besides, you are also disfigured, with the ability of the Shui n, you can definitely go to the intermediate ss Jia Continent in the future. Once you are able to go to the Jia Continent, why would you be afraid to regain your appearance? Moreover, the Spiritual Roots of Shui Yu are even better than you, plus he is less than 30 years of age, and is already at the True Condensation 6th Level. This kind of person, even if it was the Falling Star Academy, there are not many like him. Why dont you agree to this? Paternal Aunt, I still have a husband, the possibility of Shui Yu and me being together is definitely not possible. Whats more, Im disfigured, in addition to looking for my parents, I do not think of anything else, I ask auntie to go back and inform the Shui n. When Ji Yao He listened to Ji Luo Feis words, she immediately became angry and stood up, Luo Fei, do you know what the consequences of rejecting the Shui n is? It will be impossible for us to remain in the Falling Star Academy. If we left the Falling Star Academy, do you think that we would have any ce to go? That Ning Cheng absolutely does not have any Spiritual Roots, in a few decades he would end up in a grave, why must you defend that loser? Ji Luo Fei also slowly stood up, and said without even flinching or showing even the slightest emotion on her face, Auntie, I lived together with Ning Cheng for ten years. At the beginning I perfectly knew that Ning Cheng would die in the prison, I carried him back without even being in grief for even half a minute. When he woke up on my back, I did not even have half a cent of joy. But now I understood that he and I are much closer that I thought. Ji Luo Fei finished speaking and without speaking another word, slowly walked out of the room. She was very upset in her heart, it was true that she did not even feel a thing for Ning Cheng before, but when he came out of the prison, he unexpectedly left a trace of himself in her heart. If it was Ning Cheng, would he, by himself, allow her to marry into the Shui n? Her aunt wanted to leave Ning Cheng back in the Cang Qin Province, how could she not know that she wanted to murder him with a borrowed knife? But at the moment she was incapable of changing anything, her cultivation was too poor, she could only wait for her cultivation to advance further, and then go look for Ning Cheng. If he died, she would wear mourning clothes for him once more to show her filial piety. If he was alive, then she would give him her blessings to live a better life and then she would continue on to go find her parents. She did not hate Ji Yao He for using a borrowed knife to murder Ning Cheng, after all she was her paternal aunt, and had taken those actions for the sake of her. But today, she discovered that she was very different than what she thought. In the face of the benefits, her paternal aunt would not even consider her own sole familys feelings. Why would she even stay in the Falling Star Academy? Couldnt she just leave the Falling Star Academy? Do not be nervous,e with me, listen to me. These words spoken by Ning Cheng, she could never forget them in her life, if Ji Yao He was not her paternal aunt, with the way she treated Ning Cheng, she would have already left the Falling Star Academy a long time ago. Luo Fei, you already know about my qualifications, remember that after you leave, when you are able to, please take revenge for me...... This was what Ning Cheng spoke to her before he helped her escape. Ji Luo Fei seemed to be back at the Cang Qin Province, she suddenly felt that the feeling she felt for her paternal aunt Ji Yao He and the feelings she felt for Ning Cheng were simply not the same. It was as if Ning Cheng had only a single gold coin, and her aunt had several Spirit Stones, and although her paternal aunts Spirit Stones were several times more expensive than the gold coins. But Ning Cheng gave her the only gold coin that he had. If it just ended with this, then her heart would feel better, after all she was her paternal aunt. However, her own aunt, actually asked her to give up on this gold coin. It was in this moment, that she finally came to realise that she felt closer to Ning Cheng than to her own paternal aunt. Once Ji Luo Fei came out of the room, she turned around the corner and went behind the room, immediately speeding up her pace. She was going to leave here, for her, even if she became more familiar with her paternal aunt, she already knew that she would not feel any reluctance to part from her. Chapter 0061 – Red Apricot Tree Leaning Over The Garden Wall Chapter 0061 C Red Apricot Tree Leaning Over The Garden Wall Several roars of a Monstrous Beast could be heard and even a Sword Light could be seen in the sky, which made Ning Cheng who was hurrying through the Daan Forest to immediately stop, and carefully hide himself to the side. The scene in front of him was that of fight between a human and a Monstrous Beast, Ning Cheng did not think that in the depths of the Daan Forest, he would be able to find other people besides him. This was the 12th day after he had obtained the broken Spear, ording to what Ning Cheng thought, as long as the map which he was following was not wrong, he would be able to get out of the Daan Forest in about a month. At this moment, he actually was able to meet another person who was fighting against a Monstrous Beast in the depths of the Daan Forest. Ning Cheng certainly did not think that that this person who was fighting against the Monstrous Beast would leave behind some remnants like the broken Spear that he had obtained in the beginning. But the people who are able to survive here, this deep in the Daan Forest, would definitely not be ordinary. Although this person had the ability toe here and fight against the Monstrous Beasts, Ning Cheng no longer thought that it was remarkable, initially he himself was in the Middle Stages of the Qi Gathering Realm, didnt he survive at the side of that fresh waterke for months? In the Daan Forest, as long as one had a certain amount of strength, and did not infringe upon the territory of other Monstrous Beasts, they can easily survive and take shelter. In addition, there were more and more Sword Lights surging out with more intensity, some of the Qi fluctuations in the surroundings could be sensed by Ning Cheng, which made Ning Cheng understand that this person and the Monstrous Beast or at least one of them had stepped into the True Condensation Realm. In just a short amount of time, the Sword Light dissipated, even the cry of the Monstrous Beast disappeared, signalling that the battle should have ended. Qi Hua, why did youe? A deep voice of a man reached Ning Chengs ears. Immediately a clear and pleasant voice replied, I was a little worried about you, so I came to see, well....... This was definitely a womans voice, but the woman had not yet finished, when it seemed that her mouth was immediately blocked by the other person, it seems that the two people were going to make out. Turned out that this was a couple who were living in this ce, Ning Cheng thought as he shook his head, he did not want to continue to look at what the two people were going to do in the end. The man was a cultivator at the True Condensation Realm, and so the woman must also be a cultivator at the True Condensation Realm. A man and a woman staying in the Daan Forest, regardless of whether they were lost or not, as to what they were doing here, Ning Cheng did not want to ask. He had just advanced to the Qi Gathering 9th Level, even if he was confident that he was not weaker than any other ordinary cultivators of the True Condensation Realm, but he was already close to the Yuan Continent, who knows if the opposite party was an ordinary True Condensation Cultivator or not? Besides there were actually two people. These two people were also living in the Daan Forest, thus they definitely had an absolutely richbat experience, he did not need to go join in the fun. Just when Ning Cheng was leaving, he suddenly felt that something was not right. He was very familiar with the name of Qi Hua, Ning Cheng was sure that he had heard those two words before. Ning Cheng immediately stopped and abandoned the idea of leaving, he waited for a short while, only after he was convinced that the two people had already walked far away, did he carefully hid himself before following them. He arrived at the battle scene quickly, there were a number of blood stains and w marks on the battlefield, even the traces of the Sword Light across the ground were clearly visible. Looking at the battlefield, it should have been a fight between a cultivator at the True Condensation Realm and a low levelled Monstrous Beast. Finally, the Monstrous Beast was killed, and was taken away by that person. He clearly checked the traces nearby, from that Ning Cheng was able to find out the direction in which the two people left, and followed it with extreme discretion. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng found that the track marks abruptly disappeared, he could only see themon forest floor in front of him Ning Cheng examined the surrounding scene carefully, and soon came to understand, that it was an Array Formation, it should be close to a Level 3 Concealment Array Formation. Ning Cheng was already a Level 2 Array Master by now, moreover he had studied this type of Array Formation before, so he was able to understand it immediately. In just ten breaths of time, Ning Cheng was able to pass through the Array Formation, and a beautiful and lush green pasture greeted his eyes, it made Ning Cheng feel that he hade to paradise. There was a beautiful log cabin built in the middle of the lush green pasture, in the front of the green pasture was a bamboo grove, a path could be seen going through the bamboo groove, and at the end of the path was argeke, there were even several dozen wild cranes swimming in theke. Was this still the Daan Forest? This was obviously a different world, a paradise. For him who had always been living in tree holes that he had to dig up by himself, it was just likeparing heaven and hell. There was woman wearing a green dress in front of the log cabin, and was carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, the bamboo basket seemed to be filled with some kind of blue coloured wild herbs. Ning Cheng immediately took a few steps forward, and hid himself along the edges of the bamboo forest. Seeing from the distance, the cultivation of the woman appeared to be at early True Condensation 3rd Level. Ning Cheng only saw the woman from the side, but when the green dress wearing woman passed through the bamboo grove and arrived near thergeke, Ning Cheng was able to see how she looked like. In that one moment, Ning Cheng came to know where he had heard the two characters Qi Hua. At the present looking at the woman in front of him, he could tell that her eyes and Ji Luo Feis eyes were simr to each other, not only that, even her face was somewhat simr, he was able to tell that even when Ji Luo Feis face was disfigured. Ning Cheng believed that, if Ji Luo Fei was not disfigured, then both of them would more or less look alike. Qi Hua this name he had heard from the mouth of Ji Luo Fei, he remembered that Ji Luo Fei said that her father was called Ji Xuan Zhang and her mother was called Xiong Qi Hua. Ning Cheng could almost affirm that this woman in front of him was definitely Xiong Qi Hua, and was Ji Luo Feis mother. Then was that man who had killed the Monstrous Beast Ji Luo Feis father, Ji Xuan Zhang? But Ning Chengs intuition told him that, that man was not Ji Xuan Zhang. Ning Cheng was startled of his own idea, if that man was not Ji Xuan Zhang, then wouldnt Xiang Qi Hua be having an affair with someone other than Ji Luo Feis father, Ji Xuan Zhang? Moreover, they were even living together in the Daan Forest. He knew a bit about how Ji Luo Feis parents went missing, and about how her grandfather had taken her to the Cang Qin Province. If this woman was really Xiong Qi Hua, then Ji Luo Feis mother did not die at all. Since she had not died, why did she not leave this ce and go to the Cang Qin Province to look for her daughter? After the green robe wearing woman arrived at the side of theke, she took out the wild blue herbs from the bamboo basket, and threw them into theke. Those cranes swimming in theke, immediately swam up and began snatching at those wild herbs. Qi Hua, the wild herbs for the cranes are running out, once I find another piece ofnd, we will nt them once again. A man from the log cabin came out, having not yete close to the green robe wearing woman, he yelled at her from a distance. But his voice was a bit deep, which made Ning Cheng feel really ufortable when he heard it. However, when Ning Cheng saw the appearance of the person, he was secretly admiring him in his heart. He was confident that he himself was not ugly, and was even a bit cool looking. But when hepared himself to that man, he found that his appearance was verymon. Ning Cheng had never seen this kind of person who would even put other good looking people to shame, having a straight nose, with bright eyes and delicate eyebrows that were even more delicate than that of a woman. If only his voice was not this coarse then this person would undoubtedly be perfect. The green robed woman named Qi Hua showed a faint smile as she stood up, Hong Wen, Thank you. He really was not Ji Luo Feis father, Ning Cheng thought darkly in his heart. He knew that Ji Luo Feis father was named Ji Xuan Zhang, it was definitely not Hong Wen. Qi Hua, for you to stay in the Daan Forest for me, this Zhu Hong Wen will do anything for you. As long as you are happy, even if it is my life you want, I will dly offer it. This handsome man called Zhu Hong Wen said without hesitation. The green robe wearing woman immediately reached out to stop Zhu Hong Wen, and stretched out her hands, it was as if she wanted to hug Zhu Hong Wen. Seeing Zhu Hong Wens hands going under the robe of the green robed wearing woman, the green robed wearing woman immediately gasped and said, Not here, it is still daytime.... Zhu Hong Wen kissed the forehead of the green robed wearing woman and said softly, There are only two of us here, even if we do something, it will not...... Whos there? Zhu Hong Wen immediately let go of the woman, while simultaneously took out a Flying Sword in his hands, and stared in the direction Ning Cheng was hiding. Ning Cheng slowly stood up, while calling himself unlucky in his mind. Seeing his mother-inw, at that time he had wanted to walk away, but now that he was found out, if this not him being unlucky then what was it. He was sure that the woman in front of him was definitely Xiong Qi Hua, and as a result did not want to stay here. In the future if he could go to the Falling Star Academy to see Ji Luo Fei, he would definitely tell Ji Luo Fei, that her mother was in the Daan Forest. Regardless of whether Ji Luo Feis mother was having an affair or not, this was a matter of the Ji family, and it did not have anything to do with him. Although he was discovered, but Ning Cheng did not have much fear. That person called Zhu Hong Wen was only at True Condensation 4th Level, he believed that even if he could not beat the opposite party, he could still definitely get away. How did you get in here? When the green robed wearing woman saw that someone hade in, her face immediately became as white as a paper. Even her whole body began to tremble. Qi Hua, dont be afraid, he is just a Qi Gathering kid, I will kill him. Zhu Hong Wenforted the green robed woman, as he threw the Flying Sword toward Ning Cheng intending to block his way. At this point of time he did not speak any bullshit with Ning Cheng, with an overflowing Killing Intent emanating from him and even covering the two lovers, the Flying Sword in his hands was alsopletely covered with his Killing Intent as it headed towards Ning Cheng. The Sword Light was several feet long, and he had even battled a ss 2 Monstrous Beast with a strong imposing manner with it. However, in Ning Chengs view, this Sword Light was just shy, it wascking substance, although it looked nice, but it could only be used to frighten people who could not understand it. While the Sword Light arrived at Ning Cheng, at the same time the broken Spear behind Ning Cheng also fell into his hands, and fired out a Spear Shadow from it. When the Sword Light from the Flying Sword of Zhu Hong Wen and the murderous Spear Shadow from the broken Spear in Ning Chengs hand collided, the Sword Light was immediately torn apart and Spear Shadow directly arrived in front of Zhu Hong Wen. Spear Intent? Zhu Hong Wen immediately went pale, he did not think that a cultivator at the Qi Gathering Realm would be so terrible, that he could even surprisinglyprehend something like a Spear Intent, just what was his family background to be able to cultivate such a fearful Spear Technique? Otherwise how could a mere Qi Gathering Cultivator be able to master the Spear? This was not the original Killing Intent, but the Spear Intent, Ning Cheng at this time came to realise what the two Killing Intents that he hadprehended before were. Regardless of that, his hands were not even half a bit slow, and the Spears attack already arrived at Zhu Hong Wens chest and exploded. Zhu Hong Wens chest suddenly sank, but just before the explosion, the Flying Sword in his hands unexpectedly arrived in front of the Spearhead of Ning Chens Spear. Ding A resounding sound could be heard as Ning Cheng and Zhu Hong Wen immediately took a few steps back at the same time. Chapter 0062 – Coming Out Of The Daan Forest Chapter 0062 C Coming Out Of The Daan Forest Ning Cheng, because of his constant battles, also had a richbat experience, he knew that Zhu Hong Wens cultivation was much better than his, so the longer the two men fought, the more unfavourable was it for him. The only reason why he and Zhu Hong Wen were evenly matched in this fight was because he had a stronger Spiritual Sense which was much more powerful than Zhu Hong Wens. Thus, Ning Cheng was able to really force Zhu Hong Wen to take a step back, moreover he, without any dy, once again rushed up, while simultaneously bringing out 12 ice cold Spear Shadows from the Spear in his hands. These 12 ice cold Spear Lights immediately formed into a Spear Net, the surrounding air immediately turned freezing cold and even seemed to have slowed down, this formidable ice cold Spear Net directly descended towards Zhu Hong Wen. Zhu Hong Wen waspletely shocked in his heart, this was definitely a Profound Grade Spear Technique, moreover it was even an ice attributed Profound Grade Technique. To be able to bring out such a formidable Ice Spear Technique and even wield it to such a degree, he immediately thought that this person not only had an Ice Spiritual Root, but it was highly likely that his Main Spiritual Root was an ice one. He did not believe that Ning Cheng was only a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator but a cultivator of the True Condensation Realm, when faced with the formidable Spear Technique of Ning Cheng, he who was without a defensive Type Artefact, other than trying to avoid it there was no other way, as he knew that there was no way for him to block his attacks. Even if he was able to avoid it once, given the speed of this formidable Spear Light Net it would certainly be a close one, which meant that even if he was able to escape, he would also be seriously injured. Because he himself knew that in front of this formidable Ice Spear Technique, he could only give up on trying to avoid it as it would only make his speed slower. With these thought shing like lightning in the mind of Zhu Hong Wen, he promptly made the judgement to form a curtain of Sword Lights in front of him with the Flying Sword in his hands. The Sword Light Curtain and the thick ice shadows collided together creating a continuous Hum.... sound. This humming sound was also mixed with some ka ka sounds, it was as if ice was being broken. Puff, Puff, Puff.... the thick Ice Spear Shadows immediately blew open the Sword Light curtain, and a number of those Spear Shadows that passed through the Sword Light curtain immediately bombarded Zhu Hong Wens body, which immediately resulted in him shooting out 4-5 arrows of blood. Zhu Hong Wen who was fighting with Ning Cheng simultaneously flew out during that sh, but rather he breathed a sigh of relief, as he managed to protect his life in that exchange. Ning Cheng was secretly surprised, although this Hong Wens cultivation level was not as good as that of Miao Li Hu from the Mingot City, but he was more formidable than that Miao Li Hu. The 36 Ice Spear Technique was already his most powerful Spear Technique, if this 36 Ice Spear Technique was not able to take down Zhu Hong Wen, then he would have no choice other than to use the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle. Ning Cheng did not dare to use the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle at the moment as there was still the True Condensation 3rd Level woman by the side. The 7 Pleiades Ice Needle was best for a sneak attack, after it was shown, the effect would only worsen. After all, his proficiency with using the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle was far less whenpared to his proficiency of using his Spear with the 36 Ice Spear Technique, this was because the current 7 Pleiades Ice Needle waspletely dependent on his Spiritual Sense unlike his Spear Techniques. Although he saw that Zhu Hong Wen was severely injured, with the Spear in the hands of Ning Cheng he did not even give him even half a moment to escape, once more releasing Spear Shadows, he turned it into a Spear Line as he continued to bombard Zhu Hong Wen, constantly targeting his head and other fatal areas. The Killing Intent that he was gathering in the Spear, even shredded the surrounding bamboo into a fine dust. Striking when the iron was hot, Ning Cheng was very clear on this concept. Under the threat of the fearful Killing Intent emanating from the Spear, that pale faced woman in green robe finally reacted. She immediately flew up into the sky, while simultaneously brought out a round shield in her hands. She had no idea how a cultivator like Ning Cheng who was just in the Qi Gathering Realm, would be so tough to deal with and unexpectedly lead to this kind of situation. A True Condensation Cultivator should be able to kill a Qi Gathering 4th Level cultivator easily, she had never heard of it being the other way around. ng....... Ning Cheng, who was not concealing the Killing Intent from the Spear Shadows, immediately shed with the round shield in the hands of the green robed woman, which gave out a loud reverberating sound A powerful force pushed Ning Cheng back and even the Killing Intent from the Spear Shadow waspletely blocked and dispersed by the round shield, and diffused in a short moment. Ning Cheng who was again pushed back several steps, was shocked in his heart. He did not think that this woman whose cultivation level was even lower than that of Zhu Hong Wen would actually be even more stronger than Zhu Hong Wen. Ning Chengs heart sank, as he slowly backed away towards the edge of the Array Formation. Continuing to fight against them was meaningless to him, if the two people in front of him decided to go all out, then he knew that he would not have any possibility to leave this ce alive. This woman seemed to know what Ning Cheng was thinking, and first sealed the path of Ning Chengs escape, while simultaneously bringing out 5 Flying Swords around her. Hong Wen, help me kill him. The green robe wearing woman was absolutely not the same as before as she said those words in a calm and quiet manner, only her eyes betrayed the intention to kill. There was no need for the woman to remind Zhu Hong Wen, he forcibly stopped the bleeding from his wounds, and was staring at Ning Cheng like a hungry wolf, watching him with crazed filled eyes, Ning Cheng knew that this person was prepared to go all out against him. The ability to control five Flying Swords simultaneously, the Spiritual Sense of that woman was definitely stronger than him, Ning Cheng did not have any idea to continue to pester them. With the Spear in his hands, he said sarcastically, Xiong Qi Hua, you really are like a Red Apricot Tree hanging over the garden wall behind your husbands back, hiding in here you must be feeling really happy right? Poor Ji Xuan Zhang really must have been blind, to have actually married a woman like you. Perhaps he had already been killed by you and your lover, even though you have a simr face to Ji Luo Fei, I wouldnt even care if you end up killing me today, since someone would definitelye to seek revenge from you. When the green robed woman heard Ning Chengs words, she was immediately dumbstruck again and looked like a wooden chicken, with her face like a piece of white paper, even the five Flying Swords revolving around her could not be maintained by her anymore and fell down. She had only heard one sentence, when she began to think how did this man knew who she really was, moreover how did he knew what she had done? Just what the hell was going on here? It was no wonder that she was not able to understand, as she had been living here for more than 10 years already. But this Ning Cheng who seemed to be less than 20 years old, how was he able to know about the affairs of her family? What made her even more shocked and stunned at the same time was that Ning Cheng had said that her face actually resembled Ji Luo Feis face, it was apparent that the rtion of this young man in front of her and Ji Luo Fei was obviously not shallow. While the green robed woman was still in the state of shock, Ning Cheng already increased his speed to his utmost and in a blur, crossed her, and instantly went far away. In fact, when the green robed woman was staring nkly a moment ago, Ning Cheng already had the opportunity to kill her. But Ning Cheng saw the appearance of Ji Luo Fei on her face, and decided to spare Xiong Qi Huas life. Although Zhu Hong Wen was also shocked by the words of Ning Cheng, but as his wounds were already serious, he could only stand and see Ning Cheng slip away, at the moment he knew that he did not have even a single shred of ability to stop Ning Cheng. Who is he, how does he know me? How does he know Luo Fei? Is Luo Fei OK? Xiong Qi Hua was still muttering to herself, as herplexion became even more and more pale. Zhu Hong Wen softly said from the side tofort her, From this conversation, Luo Fei is certainly well, Qi Hua, you do not have to worry about.... Xiong Qi Hua seemed to have not heard the words spoken by Zhu Hong Wen, after muttering to herself for a while, she suddenly looked up and said, I am going out, Im going to go see Luo Fei. Then she said to herself, If this man goes to Luo Fei and say those things about me, then I.... Zhu Hong Wen sighed, he knew what was going on in Xiong Qi Huas mind. If her daughter found out that it was her own mother who had killed her father, and was even hiding in the Daan Forest with her lover, then what would her daughter think? Would she even acknowledge her as her mother? Wouldnt she immediately draw her sword against her? I have a way to let Luo Fei not believe him. Zhu Hong Wen said in a low voice. What way? Xiong Qi Hua stared at Zhu Hong Wen, her tone of speech was somewhat urgent, even her pale face had a hint of redness to it. If you see Luo Fei, regardless of if Luo Fei knows about this matter or not, you need to take the first step and tell her that this man had tried to take advantage of you.... ...... After Ning Cheng ran out of the Array Formation, he discovered that the two of them did not pursue him, and slowed down his pace. In the Daan Forest, he was not afraid of Xiong Qi Hua and Zhu Hong Wen coborating together against him. He believed that the two people would not dare to pursue him, once he led them towards a high levelled Monstrous Beasts area, he could just walk away, these two people can then stay here indefinitely. After leaving that ce, Ning Cheng once again increased his pace. He decided to go to the Yuan Continent to have a look to see if he could find a True Condensation Pill so that he could finally advance to the True Condensation Realm. When he advanced to the True Condensation Realm, he would then be able to freely use his Spiritual Sense without much burden, Ning Cheng estimated that even if he did not use the two ice spells together then, he would definitely not be beaten. Even if Xiong Qi Hua was a cultivator of the True Condensation Realm. Although he was a Qi Gathering Cultivator with formidable strength, but him and a True Condensation Cultivator still had some fundamental differences. The True Condensate Cultivators were the ones who possessed True Essence, although Qi Gathering Cultivators also possess Qi which was simr to True Essence, which essentially was Qipressed to an extreme level, but the strength of it was obvious. Ning Cheng knew that the true bottleneck in ones cultivation practice was not the Qi Gathering Realm or the True Condensation Realm, but the boundary to the Essence Building Realm. After advancing to the Essence Building Realm, one can then begin to cast their foundations, to finally bing an actual fully fledged cultivator. Ning Cheng picked up his speed once again, while simultaneously continued to cultivate his 36 Ice Spear Technique along the way. As he could not advance his cultivation level in a short time, he decided to make up for it with cultivating and getting more familiar with his techniques. Originally the remaining distance would have been covered in a single month, but Ning Cheng was able toplete the journey in less than a month by rushing through the remaining distance. When Ning Cheng once again was able to see the blue sky above him, and the vast empty wilderness in front of him, he let out a long sigh of relief. After travelling through the Daan Forest for almost 2 months, he knew that at this moment he should be at the borders of the Yuan Continent. Although he was still at the edges of the Daan Forest, but he was also at the edges of the Yuan Continent, and as a result Ning Cheng was able to feel that the Spiritual Qi around here was definitely much richer than that found in the Ping Continent. Ning Cheng reorganised his things, and put the broken Spear on his back, after carefully wrapping it, he prepared to use the Flying Sword to leave the edges of the Daan Forest. A grey figure immediately jumped out from the Daan Forest about 200 meters in front of Ning Cheng, this grey figure that who had just appeared was followed by a Grey Demon Wolf which Ning Cheng had killed a lot of them on his way. After the Grey Demon Wolf rushed out of the edges of the Daan Forest, it seemed to feel that it was very dangerous outside, giving up on killing the grey figure that it was chasing, it turned around and once again entered the Daan Forest. This was a young cultivator wearing a grey robe, he seemed to know that the Demon Wolf would not continue to run after him, and after rushing out of the Daan Forest, did not continue to run, but instead moved towards Ning Chengs side. Ning Cheng did not continue to wield the Flying Sword for flight, as he also wanted to ask for directions. This teenager also looked to be of the same age as him, and even his cultivation level was also at the Qi Gathering 9th Level. But he wore a beard on his face, which made him look older, with a lot of experience behind him. This youths face waspletely white, but had a faint scent of blood lingering on his body. There was a distinct scar on his face, which made him look fierce. Ning Cheng had already spent almost 6 months in the Daan Forest, so he was able to clearly feel the Killing Intent along with the faint smell of blood that wasing from him. He affirmed that this boy in front of his did not spend a short amount of time in the Daan Forest, moreover he could decisively kill others in a moment. My name is Tai Shu Shi, I have been striving to live in this area surrounding the Daan Forest, friend you look a bit unfamiliar, is it possible that you have just arrived here? This grey robed wearing youth seemed extremely friendly, he even came forward and greeted him with a smile on his face. .......... TL Note C If any of you want to know what Ning Chengs broken Spear look like, I found an image which really fits the broken Spears description here. Moreover if you want to picturise a Ning Cheng fighting with the broken Spear when he unleashes the Ice Spear Technique then go here. Chapter 0063 – The Tai Shu Clan Chapter 0063 C The Tai Shu n I am called Ning Cheng, and indeed I am new here. Ning Cheng cupped his fists in front of him as he said, though he did not say that he came through the Daan Forest from the Ping Continent. This Tai Shu Shi said with an extreme interest, This really is good, I have been out here for almost six months gathering experience, and have already reaped a lot of benefits. Only this one does not dare to go further deep, firstly I am scared of getting lost, and secondly I am not particrly strong by myself. For Brother Ning toe to the Daan Forest, surely you are also looking for people like us to go in adventuring. Ning Cheng immediately understood the meaning of the words spoken by Tai Shu Shi, he wanted to find an opportunity to go into the depths of the Daan Forest, but he knew that his strength was somewhat bad, so he was looking for another person to form a team. He saw him near the edge of the Daan Forest, so he walked towards him to try and recruit him into forming a team with him. Ning Cheng had stayed in the Daan Forest for several months, so he was well aware of the dangers inside, even though he had a detailed map of the forest, it still took him a few months toe out from there. Once you got lost in there, then it definitely would not be a good thing. Moreover, Ning Cheng also knew that there were also not many treasures in the Daan Forest. Compared to the danger, taking this kind of risk was just not worth it. Besides Ning Cheng did not want to return to the Daan Forest at this moment, so he just smiled and said, I did not know if Brother Tai Shu wants to go inside the Daan Forest to gain experience and train oneself or are you looking for some high rank Spiritual Grasses? If you are looking for a high rank Spiritual Grass, then I advise Brother Tai Shu to look for those at other ces. I am somewhat familiar with the Daan Forest, although there is no doubt some high quality Spiritual Grasses in there, but they are extremely rare, one might not even find a single one of them even in a year. Brother Tai Shu I have already stayed in this neighbourhood for almost 6 months, so you can say than I am somewhat clear in this matter. If Brother Tai Shu is just looking for increasing his experience, then there is no need to go into the depths of the Daan Forest, as long as you are near the edge of the forest you can receive the same desired effect. After listening to the words of Ning Cheng, Tai Shu Shi tapped his head and said, Oh, howe I did not think of it. Ive already been here for six months, and the highest rank of Spiritual Grass that I was able to obtain was a meagre Rank 2, going by your words it is not necessary to continue to stay here. With regards to gaining knowledge and experience, I am already tired of fighting against Monstrous Beasts that have no brains. Although I have a heavy need for a lot of the low ranking Spiritual Grasses, but it is not enough or necessary for me to want to stay in the Daan Forest. You need a lot of low grade Spiritual Grasses? Are you a pharmacist? Ning Cheng asked in a puzzled tone, he now knew that there are not a lot of people in the low ss continents who are able to refine actual pills, these people who are able to refine actual pills were called as Pill Masters. Only people who are able to refine actual pills can be called a Pill Master, and those who cannot refine Pills and can only refine Elixirs and mixture pills are called pharmacists. This Tai Shu Shi does not look too old, so he thought that it was impossible for him to be a Pill Master, so when Ning Cheng heard that he required a lot of low grade Spiritual Grasses, he naturally thought that he was a pharmacist. Tai Shu Shi gave a proud smile and said, Brother Ning you cannot underestimate me, I am a genuine hundred percent Tier 1 Ordinary Pill Master, moreover I even have the confidence to refine a Level 2 Pill. Ning Cheng had on more than one asion heard people say that Alchemy was difficult, moreover people also said that trying to find the resources for Alchemy was also very difficult. Even when he heard of it from Fang Jiyan, or the old woman, their tone was still the same. Even Fang Jiyan said that Alchemy was a very difficult thing to cultivate. But that old woman not only said that Alchemy was difficult, but she even said that the Dao of Alchemy was just a minor one. Moreover, Ning Cheng also wanted to find someone who could refine a True Condensation Pill, at this time when he actually met a Pill Master, he immediately wanted to inquire about it. Even if the present Tai Shu Shi was not able to refine the pill that he wanted, he could stille into contact with other people rted to him who were definitely better than him. Thinking of this, Ning Cheng quickly asked, Brother Tai Shu, I often hear people say about Pill Masters and Alchemy, I do not know much about Alchemy, could Brother Tai Shu enlighten me about it? When Tai Shu Shi heard Ning Chengs query, he looked at Ning Cheng with some doubt, and asked again, Is it possible that Brother Ning is not a person from the Yuan Continent, did youe here by crossing through the Daan Forest? Ning Cheng secretly thought that this Tai Shu Shi was very astute, but since he had nothing to hide so he replied, Thats right, this time I was very lucky, and was able to cut across the Daan Forest after suffering through a lot of things for the past several months. What Ning Cheng said was very simple, but in the mind of the person with surname Tai Shu who was in front of him it was actually a difficult situation, as he was almost killed many times at just the edges of the Daan Forest. For Ning Cheng to pass through the Daan Forest, this was simply too good to be true. Moreover, the way Ning Cheng said about crossing through the Daan Forest, it seemed as easy as eating bread and drinking water, in fact it certainly was not the case, no one could only rely on luck to cut across the Daan Forest. With this it can be seen, that the heart of this person was not false, as he did not boast to other people, even his mind was calm, this person would definitely have a bright future. Thinking about his own pride that he had disyed for his Alchemy, andparing it with the calm and serene heart of Ning Cheng, Tai Shu Shi felt really ashamed of himself. So thats is how it is, originally Brother Ning came from the Ping Continent. The Spiritual Qi of the Ping Continent is the scarcest of all the continents, as a result many people do not go there, I did not know if it was normal. After Tai Shu Shi quelled his shocked feelings on his own, he once again said in a very detailed manner, Actually the Pill Masters in the Yi Xing maind are divided into different categories C Ordinary Pill Master, True Pill Master, Profound Pill Master, Earth Pill Greater Master and Heaven Pill Grand Master. The ranks of the pills concocted by them are also divided into 9 Levels from 1 to 9, the ones who could refine a Level 1 and Level 2 pills are known as Ordinary Pill Masters, those who can refine Level 3 and Level 4 pills are the True Pill Masters, those who are able to refine Level 5 and Level 6 pills are known as Profound Pill Masters. Only those Pill Masters who can refine Level 7 and Level 8 pills can be called as Earth Pill Greater Master, as for the ones who are able to refine Level 9 and above pills, they are the Heaven Pill Grand Masters. Listening to Tai Shu Shis words, Ning Cheng then came to understand, that originally these Elixirs and the Mixture Pills were really not even the fundamentals in the Dao of Alchemy. Brother Tai Shu, how many Heaven Pill Grand Masters are there in the Yi Xing Maind? I think that there should not be many of them right? Ning Cheng asked. Tai Shu Shi gave a bitter smile and said, Actually even I am not very clear about it, but I am sure, that even if there were Heaven Pill Grand Masters, there wouldnt be more than 1 or 2, it just isnt a question of how many. Ning Cheng suddenly thought of that old woman and the conversation he had with Fang Jiyan, rushing to catch a problem, he immediately asked again, Brother Tai Shu, I heard from a person that in the Lower ss Continents, the cultivators in the Qi Gathering Realm are not able to bring out their Spiritual Sense. But Alchemy also needs a strong Spiritual Sense, then how is Brother Tai Shu able to cultivate in Alchemy? Tai Shu Shi looked at Ning Cheng with a bit of incredulity on his face, and after a good whileter he said, I finally understood why Brother Ning could pass through the Daan Forest, Brother Ning is the same as me. Seeing Ning Cheng wanting to continue to speak, Tai Shu Shi raised his hands and stopped Ning Cheng, and continued on himself, I am sure that Brother Ning does not cultivate a simple Cultivation Method. This is in fact not a secret, in the high level Continents, and even in Intermediate ss Continents, most of the cultivators cultivate theplete Cultivation Methods, unlike the simplified Cultivation Methods that people in the Lower ss Continents cultivate, thus they are able to utilise their Spiritual Sense from as early as the Qi Gathering Realm. After advancing to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, they can then use their Flying Swords to actually fly. On advancing to the True Condensation Realm, it is possible for them to right away from a Sea of Consciousness, which then transforms their Spiritual Sense into Spiritual Consciousness. It is not unusual that one needs to advance to the Essence Building Realm in the Lower ss Continents for this to happen, as only then would they have the ability to perceive the existence of the Sea of Consciousness. Speaking till the end Tai Shu Shi gave a self-deprecating smile, I think that Brother Ning is the same as me, who cultivates aplete Cultivation Method, and should be able to bring out your Spiritual Sense. Ning Cheng thought that it was only his secret, and actually did not know that there would be a person in the Yuan Continent who would also know about it. He once again asked that what he could not understand, Do all the people of the Yuan Continent know about this matter? Tai Shu Shi shook his head and said, How would it be possible for all the people to know about it? However, there are some people who are aware of it, it is simply because the Spiritual Qi here is very scarce, to want to advance in this ce, one could only cultivate low levelled Cultivation Methods. It would be better if you did not look at the members of the Lower ss Continents who advanced to the True Condensation Realm, if a True Condensation Cultivator from a Lower ss Continent went to the High Levelled Continent, they perhaps would be beaten easily by one of the so called geniuses in the Qi Gathering Realm, this is just a fact, and nobody can change it. Indeed, it was just as he guessed it, Ning Cheng felt a bit gloomy after hearing this. He had thought that with his cultivation, arriving at this continent was already a very great achievement, for him wanting to go to an Intermediate ss Continent, he knew that it was going to be much more difficult than he had imagined. Brother Ning you are able to pass through the Daan Forest, so you should be the same as me, and is always thinking about going to an Intermediate Levelled Continent. Its a pity though, although we are able to understand this truth, but the Spiritual Qi here is not enough for us to advance to a higher level. If only we could be escorts of a Profound Pill Master and above, only then would we be able to go to one of the intermediate levelled continents, otherwise its just a delusion for us. Tai Shu Shi did not know how to persuade Ning Cheng so he could onlyfort himself with those words. Ning Cheng immediately abandoned such distracting thoughts, who was even sure if he could even advance to the peak of the Qi Gathering 9th Level? Furthermore, he could not cultivate like the others. For something that would happen in the future, who could clearly say that what would happen? Brother Tai Shu, I heard you speak about it before, are there other mainds outside Yi Xing Maind? Ning Cheng already wanted to ask this question, he wanted to know more about this world other than the Yi Xing maind, are there other mainds here just like on Earth? Thats right, Yi Xing maind is just a small part of this entire chaotic universe, in this chaotic universe, there are innumerable other mainds, in some of these mainds you can rely on your cultivation to go through to it, while there are some other mainds where you cannot rely on your cultivation to go through. In other words, unless you have an extremely powerful and terrifying cultivation level to deal with any situation, only then would you would be able to pass through the other mainds. When Tai Shu Shi spoke of the innumerable nes, even his expression was very dignified. But Ning Cheng was not able to understand thesepletely, listening to Tai Shu Shis words, his heart sank. From what Tai Shu Shi said, it was unlikely that he would even be able to return to Earth. Brother Tai Shu, how do you know all these? Is it possible that all the cultivators of the Yuan Continent know about these things? Ning Cheng knew that Tai Shu Shi had no reason to lie to him, although in his heart he thought that something was missing, he hoped that he could be an exception. Tai Shu Shi shook his head and said, Brother Ning and I really feel like old friends, I truly wish to be good friends with Brother Ning. The Cultivation Method that I cultivate in is from my Tai Shu n, My Tai Shu n appeared several thousand years ago in the Yi Xing Mainds High Level Continent, the Le Continent. Afterwards our ancestors, in order to find a way back, left the Le Continent. After our ancestors left, my Tai Shu n began to decline gradually. Today, I am the only person left from my n wandering around in this low levelled Yuan Continent. Tai Shu Shis expression was very deste, it was obvious that he was feeling aggrieved in his heart and was very lonely. But Ning Cheng in heart was very excited, the ancestor of Tai Shu Shi was able to go across nes, it was obvious that he was one of the most absolutely powerful cultivators out there, would he be able to achieve this level in the future? Ning Cheng did not take into ount Tai Shu Shis loneliness and asked with some urgency, Brother Tai Shu, your ancestor must be an individual with a frightening ability, the cultivation manual of your Tai Shu n should be the one passed down by your ancestor from generation to generation, right? What Ning Cheng originally wanted to ask was, some information on how the Tai Shu ns ancestor was able to cross the nes, however he thought that their friendship was not very deep, so asking about such a topic would be somewhat offensive. He decided to approach this problem in a slow and steady way. When listening to Ning Cheng talk about his ancestors, Tai Shu Shi immediately had an extremely proud look on his face, My ancestor that I just spoke about is Tai Shu Yi, ording to the knowledge that is inherited in my Tai Shu n, because of ident with my ancestor, when crossing through the nes, he ended upnding on the Yi Xing Maind, although the power he was able to wield was only a billionth of his cultivation level. But even then, in the Yi Xing Maind, he was the most formidable person, in front of my ancestor, even the strongest people of the maind were just like ants. Chapter 0064 – Wishing That They Had Met Earlier Chapter 0064 C Wishing That They Had Met Earlier When he heard those words, his heart immediately started surging. Only with a billionth of his original cultivation, but even the most formidable masters of the Yi Xing maind could be regarded as ants in front of him, just what kind of concept was this? No wonder the other people were not able to cross the ne; just how much would one need to cultivate to reach such a terrifying level? At this moment it was as if a fire was ignited in Ning Chengs heart, he wanted to train like a crazy person, even if he could not achieve the terrifying cultivation level of Tai Shu Yi, he must try hard to tear through this ne, and return back to Earth. Tai Shu Shi seemed to have noted that he was speaking with some excitement, after moderating his tone a bit he once again said, From my Tai Shu ns records, this ne and the ne from where we came from are different. Even the Cultivation Methods in the different nes are not the same, even the levels among the different realms are not the same. However, all the different Daos lead to the same goal, any kind of cultivation, will transform the Spiritual Qi into ones cultivation level, and is without exception. The cultivation structure in any ne is something that took countless years to settle down, and is not without reason. The Cultivation Method that I use for cultivation, is something that my ancestor modified temporarily. Because my Tai Shu n had gone through several thousands of years of vicissitudes, it has now been passed down to me, but it can only help me to advance up to the Essence Building Realm, s.... Speaking about his Cultivation Method that would only help him advance to the Essence Building Realm, the despair and loneliness in Tai Shu Shis eyes was obvious. Ning Cheng looked at Tai Shu Shi, although he looked like a young and handsome boy, his speech was direct, and he appreciated it very much. He immediatelyughed and said, Brother Tai Shu need not be worried, as long as your cultivation level is high in the future, you would be able to return back to Le Continent, perhaps you can even find the original Cultivation Method of your Tai Shu n. I and Brother Tai Shu feel like old friends even though we met for the first time, might as well find a ce to drink while chatting, wouldnt it be better? Very well Brother Ning, I also had a simr intention. As for the Cultivation Method, I am not much worried about it,pared to arge number of people on this low ss continent, I will always be walking in front of them. Tai Shu Shi was obviously not a shy person, quickly recovering his mood, he then changed the topic and said, Let us go to the Xi Jia City, Xi Jia City is the Yuan Continents thirdrgest city. There is even a famous Academy in the Xi Jia City, it is the Blue me 4 Star Academy. Speaking about this, Tai Shu Shis expression was somewhat shy, Ning Cheng did not notice the look on Tai Shu Shis face, what he was currently thinking was the Blue me 4 Star Academy. Initially he and An Yi had met a severely injured person on the beach of Mingot City, that person wanted to kill him and An Yi, but was finally killed by him instead. He remembered that that fellow was also from the Blue me 4 Star Academy, and was called Xue Tai Chu. Seeing Ning Cheng not paying any attention to him, Tai Shu Shi once again reminded Ning Cheng and said, From here to the Xi Jia City, if you ride a beast carriage it will take a few months, but if we use our own Flying Swords to fly, we can reach there in as short at two days if the weather is all right. From what Brother Ning said about Spiritual Sense, I think that you can also use the Flying Sword to fly. However, here Qi Gathering Cultivators that could use their Flying Sword to fly is something that absolutely should not be disclosed to the public. We will have to go through the remote areas as far as possible, one where only a few people know about. After the two people flew out on their Flying Sword, Tai Shu Shi really took them through the remote ces as far as possible, along the way other than the mountains and barren hills, they did not see anyone at all. Ning Cheng felt that Tai Shu Shi should be a credible person, and spoke inly, Brother Tai Shu, the reason I came to the Yuan Continent was to go to the Hua Continent. I also know that my cultivation is very poor, therefore after I advance to the True Condensation Realm, I will then proceed with my journey to the Hua Continent. Tai Shu Shi did not know that what Ning Cheng really needed was the True Condensation Pill, after he heard the words of Ning Cheng, he hesitated a bit and said, Brother Ning, it is not that I am against you, but even if Brother Ning has even better opportunities, and is able to advance to the True Condensation Realm in the Yuan Continent, you would be unable to reach the Hua Continent. The entrance to the Hua Continent ispletely different from the Ping Continent or the Yuan Continents entrances, I do not know how Brother Ning managed to pass through the Daan Forest. Perhaps it is because of your good luck, or perhaps you have a good map. But the Yuan Continent and the Hua Continent is separated by a boundless desert, even ordinary cultivators in the Essence Building Realm do not dare to pass through this type of terrible dessert, not say about a cultivator in the True Condensation Realm. In the middle of the desert, not only there are countless terrible sand beasts, there are even numerous myriads of desert storms, what is even more terrible than those are the lightning that falls from the sky unexpectedly, if one was not careful, they would be swallowed clean by the sands. Generally, the Hua Continent has a cultivator in the Profound Core Realm who uses arge airship Type Artefacts to fly across and ferry people. And even in the Yuan Continent trying to advance from the True Condensation Realm to the Essence Building Realm is extremely hard, although the Spiritual Qi here is much richer than the Ping Continent, but it is still very limited. Plus, even the True Condensation Pill here, is very difficult to obtain. Ning Cheng just simply said, It is only if I am able to advance to the True Condensation 1st Level, if I am not able to advance to the True Condensation Realm, then I do not n to go to the Hua Continent. Once I advance to the True Condensation Realm, at least then I would have some confidence to go to the Hua Continent. Moreover, I already have a detailed map to the Hua Continent, and would be able to easily reach there even with my eyes closed. You have the map of the Thunder Fall Desert? Tai Shu Shi asked in a pleasantly surprised voice. So it is called as the Thunder Fall Desert? I do have a map of it but it is only a simple one. Ning Cheng said as he took out the map and handed it to Tai Shu Shi. After Tai Shu Shi saw the map, he was even more surprised and said, Thats right, this really is a simple map of the thunder desert. Unexpectedly you also have a map of the Daan Forest, no wonder you were able to pass through the Daan Forest. After giving back the map to Ning Cheng, Tai Shu Shi hesitated a bit before saying, This will be so much easier to carry out, I also want to go to the Hua Continent. After all its only a continent, from there I can look for an opportunity to go to the intermediate levelled Jia Continent. How about we travel together, the materials that I was collecting are simr to the materials required for a True Condensation Pill, now the only thing that I am missing is the Golden Cicada Fruit and a type of Spiritual Grass called the Blue Tea Grass, the Golden Cicada Fruit is a bit troublesome, but the Blue Tea Grass is rather easy to obtain...... Ning Cheng opened his mouth to interrupt Tai Shu Shi and said, I have the Golden Cicada Fruit. When Tai Shu Shi heard the words of Ning Cheng, he suddenly paused, it was as if he had forgotten his own words, and looked at Ning Cheng with a disbelieving look on his face: Do you really have the Golden Cicada Fruit? Ning Cheng took out a wooden box and passing it to Tai Shu Shi said, You can take a look. Tai Shu Shi grabbed the box in excitement, when he discovered that there was indeed a stub of Golden Cicada Fruits inside, he immediately burst intoughter and said, We are saved from all the trouble to look for it, Brother Ning, we only need to find the Blue Tea Grass, then we can proceed to refine the True Condensation Pill. With the materials for the True Condensation Pill on me, I already have a way to find the Blue Tea Grass, plus we also have the means to ask someone to help us refine the Blue Tea Grass on a refining furnace. The Golden Cicada Fruit that you picked before, when its about time to refine the Pill, you can take it out again. Ning Cheng did not take the wooden box back from Tai Shu Shi when he was giving it back, rather he just smiled and said, Brother Tai Shu, as you said it before, we feel like old friends. It would be better to keep the Golden Cicada Fruit on you, after you are able to refine the Pill, you can just give me one of the Pills OK. Ning Cheng was confident that he was not wrong, Tai Shu Shi was not a person who would disappear after obtaining a Golden Cicada Fruit. If he really misread him, then he could only me his faulty eyes. Tai Shu Shi also did not continue to decline, after he took back the wooden box, he said to Ning Cheng, Brother Ning, for you to hand over such a thing to your friend. You can be assured that this Tai Shu Shi will not let you down. The more the two people chatted with each other, the more they felt sorry for not have met earlier. Ning Cheng was a novice when it came to cultivation, all of his theories were just a patchwork that he had put together himself, which he had inferred from the Jade Pieces that he had obtained from Fang Jiyan. There were still many small details missing and also a lot many mistakes, under the mutual discussion with Tai Shu Shi he was finally able to confirm his theories, and both were benefitted greatly. There were even some in truths that he was not able to understand previously but was now able to suddenly understand. Tai Shu Shi waspletely shocked in his heart because of the genius like brain of Ning Cheng, he waspletely opposite of Ning Cheng, as Ning Cheng did not understand some of the basic things regarding ones cultivation. But what he does not understand was how was he able to understand the issues of extended Cultivation Methods, he had originally brought out a topic to discuss with Ning Cheng, and actually did not think that Ning Cheng would be able to find a correct direction for him in the Cultivation Method. After chatting for a while, Tai Shu Shi ascertained that Ning Chengs aplishments in the future would certainly would not be ordinary. Brother Tai Shu, you said that your ancestor Yi left behind some information while crossing through nes, can you show it to me? Ning Cheng felt that now that he and Tai Shu Shi had talked to each other to this degree, he should be able to ask about some of the information regarding the nes without any issues. Tai Shu Shi revealed an apologetic expression and said, Brother Ning, I too have heard of this from the mouth of my uncle, there is no actual record left behind, if I really did have them I would have definitely taken it out for Brother Ning to see. It is also because it is passed down through the word of mouth, the Cultivation Method of my Tai Shu family is bing increasingly scarce and weak. Ning Cheng gave a disappointed expression, he really had wanted to know what exactly was this ne, and to see if in the future would he be able to return to Earth. Seeing Ning Cheng somewhat disappointed, Tai Shu Shi hesitated a bit and then said, Brother Ning, I also know some bits and pieces of this ne. ording to the inheritance of my Tai Shu n, the same ne can have innumerable stars and innumerable mainds. This ne and the ne that we are from are inherently different, I heard that if you could cultivate to the extreme in the Yi Xing maind, you would be able to fly to another maind. But even if you were able to soar up to another maind, you would still be amongst the same ne. For amon cultivator, even if their cultivation level was very high, it would be very difficult to go from just one maind to another maind even within the same ne. Because my ancestor Tai Shu Yi faced a catastrophe and ended up injured, he arrived at Yi Maind from another ne, which was a different ne from where he was. Moreover, when he arrived at the Yi Xing Maind, his physical body was already almostpletely destroyed, only a trace of his Essence Spirit existed. His physical body is still in the Yi Xing maind and is remoulding itself as we speak. That is not much different. Ning Cheng muttered, he does not know if the Earth and the Yi Xing maind were even in the same ne. ording to what Tai Shu Shi said, this ne resembled quite a bit to the gxy that Earth resides in. If Earth and the Yi Xing maind were in the same gxy, then if he was able to cultivate to a certain extent, then in the future maybe he would be able to go back. If they were not in the same ne, then he estimated that he would forever not have the opportunity to go back. Tai Shu Shi said, Even the concept of time ispletely different in different nes, we have been in this ne for several millennia, but if we were to go to some other ne then perhaps only a few days would have psed. Of course, this is just the information that has been passed down through my n. After having been passed down for so many years, how much of it is true, or how much of it is false, even I do not know. Ning Cheng suddenly hoped that the Yi Xing Maind and the Earth were in the same ne, even if they were not in the same ne, then he would definitely cultivate to his best in the Yi Xing Maind no matter how long it takes to get back, it was uncertain that maybe just maybe only a short amount of time would have passed on Earth. As the two of them spoke amongst each other, while flying, coupled with resting along the way, the two days shed by without even noticing. Brother Ning, we are going to approach the city soon, we do not have to continue to fly. After walking for an hour or two, we can go to a Ry Station, at the Ry Station we can hire a Beast Carriage to go to the Xi Jie City. Tai Shu Shi said as he got down from the mountain track and simultaneously put away his Flying Sword. Chapter 0065 – Tai Shu Shi’s Girlfriend Chapter 0065 C Tai Shu Shis Girlfriend Standing outside, the Xi Jie City, Ning Cheng could feel that this city was even inferior to the Nan Yuan City. Regardless of if it was the structure or the way it wasid out, it appeared to be somewhat low key. After entering the Xi Jie City, one could immediately see that the main street was extremely spacious, which made Ning Cheng feel a little better when hepared the Xi Jie City to the Nan Yuan City. Brother Tai Shu, although the streets of the Xi Jie City are actually very wide, but it does not look very prosperous. Ning Cheng saw that although the streets of the city were very wide there were not many shops around, with no shops around, the people whoe and go through here would certainly be in a hurry, and would not stay here for much long. Tai Shu Shi gave augh and said, Brother Ning, all the people who know me call me as Stone, you can also call me as Stone. The reason why there are few people here, is because of the rule made by the Blue me 4 Star Academy, that this street cannot have anymercial stores. Because this is the road that leads directly to the Blue me 4 Star Academy, and the people from the Academy believe that if there were shops here then it would affect the students of the Blue me 4 Star Academy. Why is it so bossy? Ning Cheng subconsciously asked, because to get to the Academy they would have to pass through this road, doesnt it mean that they control the main road? Tai Shu Shi hurriedly pulled Ning Cheng and said, Brother Ning, you should pay attention to what you speak, once what you spoke became known to the Blue me 4 Star Academy, then you would have to cut off your own tongue. Ning Cheng nodded, but he actually started to despise the Blue me 4 Star Academy in his heart. And said to Tai Shu Shi with a smile, You also do not need to call me as Brother Ning, you can also directly call me by my name. Good. Tai Shu Shi said without hesitation, pulling Ning Cheng from the wide main road, he started to walk down, but after just walking about 10 meters down the road, he once again entered another street. This street was much livelier, and was surrounded by shops and people. Tai Shu Shi brought Ning Cheng to the front of a red door of a big mansion and stopped. Stone, what are you doing here? Ning Cheng asked with a bit of confusion when he saw the three characters on the red door saying Yi Shui Courtyard. There was even a pair of couplets on both sides of the red door, To ask the gentlemen about their worries, for them to leave our Yi Shui pleased.. This one was clearly a couplet that meant that as long as there was someone in distress, they can alwayse to the Yi Shui Courtyard to experience pleasure. This was a ce that relieves ones sadness and elevates their mood slowly. Even in Cang Le City these types of ces were quite numerous, and were the favourites of many of the adventurers and even a few asional cultivators. To put it bluntly this ce was a fancy brothel. After waiting for a while, although Tai Shu Shi arrived at the door, did he really n to go inside? This ce was for adventurers, Tai Shu Shi was a cultivator, moreover was also a Tier 1 Ordinary Pill Master, it would not be difficult for him to find a woman, so why would hee to this Yi Shui Courtyard? Seeing the doubt in Ning Chengs eyes, Tai Shu Shi knew that Ning Cheng had guessed his intentions, and said with a rare shyness in his voice, Ning Cheng, you guessed right. There is a woman here that I like, each time Ie back, I will always go look for her first. Ning Cheng looked at Tai Shu Shi in a puzzling way and asked, Since you like this woman so much, then why dont you take her away from here and settle down in another ce? Why would you even keep the woman you love here? Take her back? Tai Shu Shi looked at Ning Cheng in surprise, I am just Tier 1 Ordinary Pill Master, and only cane here asionally to see her, where would I even get Spirit Stones to free her? This time it was Ning Chengs turn to be shocked, he had never heard a ce that used Spirit Stones as payment, didnt such ces require only gold coins? Tai Shu Shi saw the puzzled look on Ning Cheng, and exined, This Yi Shui Courtyard was founded by a very mysterious character, the women who work here have one of the best cultivation levels you can find outside the Academy. And there are even a few who cultivate a special kind of Cultivation Method, and are thus extremely provocative and tender looking. However, the price for them is also very high, the women who cultivate these special Cultivation Methods usually receives guests for a minimum price of 10 Spirit Stones per guest. Each time you have to spend 10 Spirit Stones just to see a woman, is that even necessary? Ning Cheng asked in disbelief, 10 Spirit Stones in a Lower ss Continent was quite expensive. Tai Shu Shi shook his head and spoke in a lonely voice, My Liane does not cultivate this special Cultivation Method, thus the price of meeting her is also quite cheap, each time it only requires 2 Spirit Stones. However, since my level of my Alchemy is very low, so wanting to meet her is not easy. If I wanted to free her, then just a few Spirit Stones are not enough, you also require the approval of the managers of the Yi Shui Courtyard. Lets go in together, I still have a few Spirit Stones with me, so I would be able to help you out a bit here. Ning Cheng silently patted Tai Shu Shis shoulders and said, You go in, Ill go look for a ce for us to rest. It is not easy to always carry this Spear on my back. He had been running through the Daan Forest for several months, although he was a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 9th Level, but he still would feel tired after continuously using up his energy. Tai Shu Shi was just about to speak, when suddenly a woman in a pink dress rushed out from the inside of the Yi Shui Courtyard. This woman was delicate and seductive, and needless to say was pleasing to the eye, as soon as she came out she pulled Tai Shu Shi and anxiously said, Stone, howe you did not return till now, go and immediately attend to Sister Liane, she is already crying herself blind. Hearing that his Liane was crying herself blind, Tai Shu Shi immediately asked with anxiousness in his voice, Whats wrong with her? What is the matter? He did not wait for the pink dresseddy to answer him, and hurriedly rushed in. While rushing inside he seemed to have remembered Ning Cheng, and hastily said to the pink dressed woman, This young master is my friend Ning Cheng, please look after him, Ille back in a short while and settle the ount. Watching Tai Shu Shi entering the Yi Shui Pleasure Courtyard, Ning Cheng had to put a stop to his idea of wanting to leave. Young Master Cheng, is it your first time toe to our Yi Shui Courtyard? You cane with me; I believe that I will definitely be able to satisfy you. The beautiful and slender woman came near Ning Cheng and simultaneously reached out and pulled on Ning Chengs sleeves. Ning Cheng grimaced, it was not that he did not like the woman, it was because the way that this woman in the pink dress spoke in an extremely coy tone with him, which made him a bit ufortable. This woman looked delicate and graceful, and to top it off she also had a voice that was pleasant to the ears, which made people who heard her coy tone to immediately develop a crush on her. All right, can you bring me to a clean room, and also bring me a pot of tea, I want to rest for a while. Ning Cheng decided to wait there for a short while. He understood the urgency of Tai Shu Shi, initially when he used to see Tian Mu Wan restless, even he would have an anxious and fretful mood. For such a thing to happen to the person they like, this kind of thing would definitely incite an anxious mood in them. My name is Liu Han Yu; Young Master Cheng can call me Han Yu right away. The woman in pink dress showed a shy expression, as she brought Ning Cheng to a room on the second floor. To Ning Chengs surprise, this room also contained a low level Spiritual Gathering Array, and as such the Spiritual Qi inside was a lot richer and concentrated whenpared to the outside, it seems like spending 2 Spirit Stones here was actually not unjust. The lights in the room were rtively dim, and therge queen sized bed was especially conspicuous. On the bedside, there was even a white jade tea table. Ning Cheng had just nced at the room once, when Liu Han Yu came close to him and stuck tightly to Ning Cheng, and called out in a low sensual voice, Young Master, this is my room. Originally I was off today, but when I saw Young Master Cheng, my heart immediately started to flutter...... Ning Cheng knew that Liu Han Yu was faking it, but as he was being squeezed by her soft mounds on her body, he could feel his mouth feel parched and tongue scorched. She was even more tempting and attractive than Su Zhu, coupled with the dim lighting in the room, Liu Han Yu unexpectedly aroused a fire in Ning Chengs heart. Liu Han Yu was also just as excited, she had stayed in Yi Shui Courtyard for almost a year, what types of people did she not see? But with such a clean man like Ning Cheng, it was a first for her to encounter such a man. The Mysterious Yellow Origin had thoroughly washed his body down to the marrow, making him look and feel iparably clean and fresh. It was also because of this, that Liu Han Yu could tell from just a nce that Ning Cheng had a body of a virgin. Such a man, even if he were to make her pay, she was absolutely willing to be his escort. Liu Han Yu was well versed in the art of seduction, she felt that Ning Cheng should also have a pure heart. Her hand subconsciously moved towards Ning Chengs chest, while at the same time half of her chest was already sticking to Ning Chengs chest. This kind of extremely soft sensation made Ning Cheng to lift his hand a bit, wanting to grab the softness in his hands, but he only raised his hand about halfway, before putting it down once again. The broken Spear that he kept on his back rapidly started to twinkle with a Spear Shadow before it gradually vanished, making him realise that he did note here to have a good time. Even if he wanted to find a woman, he would not lose his first time in such a ce. He gently pushed away Liu Han Yu, and walked to the side of the Jade table and sat down on the bed, Would you please sit down first, I want to ask you something. Liu Han Yu seeing that Ning Cheng had pushed her aside, also had a bit of disappointment in her heart, thinking that no wonder this man could still stay a virgin to this day. This kind of intellect is really astonishing, as she knew that she performed her act like a pro. She had cultivated her seduction technique continuously, using it for the first time, but actually not achieving any of the results that she hoped, this made her feel quite depressed. This time she had disyed her seduction technique to her fullest, and she absolutely did not have any other intentions, she only wanted to give herselfpletely to the man in front of her. Liu Han Yu was also very good at controlling her emotions in front of other people, quickly sorting out her own mood, she picked up a tea pot from under the tea table, and actually helped Ning Cheng to pour out a cup of tea, and sat down after that, and said in a gentle voice, Even if Young Master Cheng want to speak a few words, you can freely talk to me. Compared to the previous coy words, Ning Cheng thought that at this time Liu Han Yu was speaking more naturally. After taking a mouthful of tea, he could feel that his whole body was being nourished, this definitely was a tea made from Spiritual Grasses. Thank you. Ning Cheng knew that Liu Han Yu was doing this out of goodwill towards him, after saying thank you once more he asked, Is Liane and Stone lovers? What happened to her that made Stone to go into such a panic? Chapter 0066 – I Have Not Been A Proper Big Brother For Many Years Chapter 0066 C I Have Not Been A Proper Big Brother For Many Years Three dayster 10 of our sisters from the Yi Shui Courtyard would be put up for auction, Sister Liane has already reached the upper age limit, and thus is also in that list. Sister Liane and three other sisters, were the most attractive women of Yi Shui Courtyard. There are already many influential young masters of the Xi Jie City waiting to grab them, not to mention even if Stone admires Elder Sister Liane, or even if she was admired by a few more people like him, once she was bought, her future would only be tragic. s, it is really regrettable, that even though Stone can go see her, he actually cannot help her...... Liu Han Yu seemed to have remembered her own situation, and gave a sigh full of grief, while her expression was also extremely gloomy. Three yearster, she would also end up with the same fate of being sold at an auction. She was a bit jealous of Liane that at least she had Stone to remember her, even if Stone could not help her much, he could always bringfort to her in Lianes heart, unlike her, she does not have any people in her life like Stone. She subconsciously looked at Ning Cheng, she was very clear, that Ning Cheng really had no feelings for her. But even if it was like that, she would still cherish this moment of drinking tea together with Ning Cheng for many years, and was even feeling content in her heart. She also had a simr dream as a young girl, that was filled with happy expectations and yearnings. Ning Cheng became silent, in this world even women were seen as goods for sale, and waspletely viewed as a normal thing. He knew that he alone would not be able to help them, even if he had the help of other people, he would not be able to help the countless such women. The atmosphere was awkward for a while, Liu Han Yu did not continue to tease Ning Cheng and let him be with his thoughts, while Ning Cheng was actually thinking how would he be able to help Tai Shu Shi. With the kind of poprity that Sister Liane had, since she has already been put on the list, he would still need more than the 300 Spirit Stones that he had on him. With all the things that he could put together, he only had a bit more than 300 Spirit Stones, once someone started to bid, he knew that the amount of Spirit Stones he had would not be sufficient. Apart from Spirit Stones, the only thing worth that he had of value was a Rank 4 Spiritual Grass. He did not know for what price would he be able to sell the Rank 4 Spiritual Grass, and moreover he was a bit reluctant to part with it. But then Ning Cheng shook his head, no matter what he had to help him immediately. For other people more than 300 Spirit Stones was already a huge fortune, but to him it was utterly inadequate, and did not y a huge role for his cultivation. It was at this time, that there was a hurried knocking on the door of Liu Han Yus room. Liu Han Yu quickly went forward to open the door, and saw an anxious looking Tai Shu Shi standing outside the room. Ning Cheng, quickly apany me to the Xi Jie Citys Auction Hall. There is an auction there tomorrow, I want to auction off something of mine. When Tai Shu Shi saw Ning Cheng, he anxiously blurted out. Ning Cheng already understood Tai Shu Shis meaning, he stood up and faced Liu Han Yu with a smile and said, Thank you for the tea, it was very good. Thank You. Liu Han Yu gave a bow and thanked him, and did not see Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi go out of her room. At this point of time Tai Shu Shi calmed down from his previous anxious mood, he knew that the most pressing issue for him was to how would he be able to obtain sufficient Spirit Stones. He saw that Ning Cheng did not put anything on the tea table and followed him out of the Yi Shui Courtyard. and somewhat darkly sighed in his heart, he should not have brought Ning Cheng to this kind of ce, he did not even know that he would have to shell out a Spirit Stone to even drink the tea here. These teas of the Yi Shui Courtyard were not somethingmon, they were something that women took to increase their own cultivation level, if the guests visiting them wanted to drink it, then they themselves would have to take the initiative to produce a Spirit Stone for it. As for the number of Spirit Stones, it was based on how rich the visiting guest was. Actually you should have left behind a Spirit Stone, those teas are not easy to make. We already had to give two Spirit Stones when we entered the Yi Shui Courtyard, there is no point in dividing them. Aftering out of the Yi Shui Courtyard and going far away, Tai Shu Shi said with a sigh. Ning Cheng certainly knew the meaning behind the words of Tai Shu Shi, these women in the Yi Shui Courtyard depended on the tips given by the guests in private to sustain their cultivation, if the guests were too stingy, then the women there could only live in vain. Ning Cheng was silent, it was not that he did not want to give up a Spirit Stone, but he really was unaware of such a custom. Even if he did note to this ce, he had already seen a lot. Moreover, one of the reasons why he did not leave behind Spirit Stones, was because he could feel that Liu Han Yu was somewhat artificial towards him. After entering her room, Liu Han Yu showed the kind of attitude that actually made him feel a bit emotional towards her. Moreover, the tea that he drank was definitely a top quality Spiritual Grass Tea, he did not know from where Liu Han Yu was able to procure this kind of Spiritual Grass Tea, however he affirmed that this kind of Spiritual Grass Tea was not something that Liu Han Yu had in bulk. For her to take out this kind of Spiritual Grass Tea, he felt that it wasnt something in order to earn a bit of Spirit Stones. Even if she wanted to earn Spirit Stones, he knew that Liu Han Yu would also not ask of such a thing from a man like him. Ning Cheng was a person who valued friendship heavily, so for him to be with Liu Han Yu was in no way possible. But he also did not want to give out a Spirit Stone so that Liu Han Yu would not feel sad of her identity, so when he left Liu Han Yu, he had already said what he wanted to express to her in a simple heartfelt thank you. Even if she was a prostitute, she had her own pride and self-respect, so if he gave her a Spirit Stone it be the same as crushing her self-esteem, it would be nothing but a cruel thing. ...... Tai Shu Shi stopped along with Ning Cheng in front of a circr dome shaped building, on the top of the building was written in big bold words Xi Jia Auction House. What things do you want to sell? Ning Cheng looked at Ta Shu Shi who was filled with determination and asked. Tai Shu Si said with a resolute voice, I must save Liane, so for that I am going to sell a Rank 3 Spiritual Grass. An ordinary Rank 3 Spiritual Grass is not very difficult to obtain right? Cant say for sure if we would be able to sell it for a good price. Ning Cheng reminded Tai Shu Shi. Tai Shu Shi bit his lips, obviously he knew about it, an ordinary Rank 3 Spirit Grass will absolutely not sell for a lot of Spirit Stones, so if he wanted to save Liane then he had to think of a different method. If there really is no other choice, then I still have the Tai Shu ns Cultivation Method. Although this Cultivation Method is iplete, but at least we can pass it off as a True Grade Cultivation Method right? Tai Shu Shis eyes revealed the internal struggle that he was going through, the Cultivation Method of his Tai Shu n although was iplete, but was something that he had inherited from his ancestors. Tai Shu Shi also did not have it recorded on a Jade Piece, as it was rather passed down through the word of mouth, if he brought it out to sell, it would simply be disgraceful. Fortunately, he still remembered the Golden Cicada Fruit that he received from Ning Cheng, if not for such a situation he would never even think of taking out the Golden Cicada Fruit. Stone, in the Xi Jie City, what is the price of a Rank 4 Spiritual Grass? Moreover, how much would a Profound Grade Cultivation Method sell for? Ning Cheng patted Tai Shu Shis shoulder and said. In fact, Ning Cheng actually was able to tell what was going on in Tai Shu Shis head but did not think that it was wrong, if it was his lover who was in Yi Shui Courtyard, even if he had to remove his bones to sell, he would definitely try to find a way to get her out. He would absolutely not try to act like the bashful Tai Shu Shi, and try to think it over for an entire half a day. Tai Shu Shi looked at Ning Cheng in a surprised way, The price of a Rank 4 Spiritual Grass is just outrageous, as a Rank 4 Spiritual Grass is extremely valuable and precious, so for it to sell for tens of thousands of Spirit Stones is normal. As for a Profound Grade Cultivation Method, you must be kidding. Even in the entire Yuan Continent it is not easy to get a Profound Grade Cultivation Method, it would just overturn the entire Yuan Continent. A Profound Grade Cultivation Method had appeared once before, and it almost caused all the major forces to fight for it, you say if something like that could even be bought here? When Ning Cheng listened to Tai Shu Shis words, he was covered in cold sweat, Fang Jiyan had casually pulled out a bunch of Profound Grade Cultivation Methods and given it to him, as a result he had thought of the Profound Grade Cultivation Methods as rotten cabbages, it was as if it was just ordinary stuff to him that he could take out anywhere he wanted. He had never thought that it was this precious. Originally he wanted to take out a Profound Grade Cultivation Method for the auction, fortunately he had asked Tai Shu Shi before, otherwise once he took it out without thinking, it would be more than enough for him to end up dying. So he quickly abandoned the idea of auctioning a Profound Grade Cultivation Method, Ning Cheng thenughed and said, Stone you do not have to worry, although there are not a lot of good things in the depths of the Daan Forest, but it is not that they are non-existent. I had walked through the Daan Forest, and my luck was quite good, and was able to obtain a Rank 4 Spiritual Grass, you can use this Rank 4 Spiritual Grass for yourself. A Rank 4 Spiritual Grass was extremely precious, whenpared to a Profound Grade Cultivation Method, it can be said that it could only be obtained through luck. As Ning Cheng took out the Rank 4 Spiritual Grass, there was not a lot of pressure on his mind. You have a Rank 4 Spiritual Grass? Tai Shu Shi was all of a suddenly very excited, A Rank 4 Spiritual Grass can sell for several hundreds to even several thousands of Spirit Stones, it would be more than enough to save Liane.... However Tai Shu Shi soon realised that this Rank 4 Spiritual Grass was not his, But since this is your Spiritual Grass, I.... Ning Cheng once again patted Tai Shu Shis shoulder and said, You also said that we were like old friends when we first met, so you do not need to be so bashful about it. Tai Shu Shi said with a sigh, Brother Ning, you have already said those words twice, and have even helped me twice. But even then, you still say the same sentence to me. Ha Ha. Ning Chengughed, Dont be a sissy, just call me by my actual name Ning Cheng, rather than calling me Brother Ning. No, you are this Tai Shu Shis big brother, no matter what happens, I, Tai Shu Shi, will always look up to you. Tai Shu Shi firmly said. Seeing Ning Cheng looking a bit puzzled, Tai Shu Shi repeated it once again, Big Brother, I mean it. The Spiritual Grass you have, let me first evaluate it once, then we can discuss about it together. Ning Cheng suddenly remembered a line that he often heard on Earth, he took out a Jade Box and handed it to Tai Shu Shi, and just smiled and said, I have not been a proper big brother for many years. Ah.... Tai Shu Shi could notpletely understand the meaning of Ning Chengs words; can it be that his Big Brother Ning had a lot of sad events in his life before? What I meant by those words were, that you calling me like that puts a lot of pressure on me. I would also have to take care of you in the future, I was just thinking about it, and it does not seem to be worthwhile...... Ning Cheng said as he handed the Jade Box into the hands of Tai Shu Shi. Tai Shu Shi knew that Ning Cheng was ying a trick on him, but still said very seriously, Big brother rest assured, I will absolutely never ever hold you back. Ning Cheng just said, I was just kidding, you dont have to be so serious. Tai Shu Shi opened the Jade Box in his hands, and immediately his hands started to tremble, and almost threw the Jade Box to the ground, This, This, isnt this the Rainbow Light Grass? The Rank 4 Spiritual Grass that you said you obtained was the Rainbow Light Grass? Yes, I only have this one stub. Ning Cheng nodded and said, he knew that Rainbow Light Grass was very valuable, however he did not have any other Spiritual Grass of the same grade, if he did have it, he would not have taken out the Rainbow Light Grass. As for the Soul Wood Cores, those thing were even more precious than the Rainbow Light Grass, it wasnt that Ning Cheng was not willing to take it out, it was because he did not dare to take it out in this kind of ce. Tai Shu Shi once again passed the Jade Box to Ning Cheng and said, Big Brother, this thing is too precious, this kind of stuff is something that should be put in the auctions of an Intermediate ss Continent, or even High ss Continents. Even if is no use to you now, you could still take it with you to the Hua Continent. Even if you do not sell it, this kind of thing in your hands, would also give you a major insurance. This can even be used to restore and repair ones Core Sea, if you take it out to sell, it would really, it would really...... Chapter 0067 – Entrusting Chapter 0067 C Entrusting Ning Cheng once again patted Tai Shu Shis shoulder, Stone, you really shoulde to my hometown to have a look. You could learn a thing or two from how those dishonest traders operate their capital, they would only keep the bare minimum in their hands. As for high valued items, only when they are needed to be sent out, will they reflect their true value, once the value is reflected back, it would only lead to the driving their self-interests. What you said about the Rainbow Light Grass is just secondary, although its just a stub of a best quality Spiritual Grass, but for me it only upies some space, but for you this is different, this thing is something that can be turned into something we need immediately, and the thing that we require most urgently is the capital. Well, saying it in simple words, a person who sells the fruit, also knows that a good fruit will always be sold out, who would leave behind something like that to eat. Are the other people stupid? No they are not, it is just to maximize their own benefits that they sell their things. Ning Cheng talked for a long time, suddenly he thought about the Soul Wood Cores in his Storage Bag which were even more precious, and immediately his face became slightly red, and could not talk any further. Tai Shu Shi seemed to have forgotten about the Rainbow Light Grass in his hands, and subconsciously asked, Is this how people from the Ping Continent do business? My home town is not in the Ping Continent, its a long story, maybe I tell you about itter. Ning Cheng did not want to discuss this issue. OK. Tai Shu Shis attention once again returned to the Rainbow Light Grass in his hands, and his face immediately became excited, Big brother, this stub of the Rainbow Light Grass can be sold for more than 10,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones. Unfortunately, we are in the Yuan Continent, if we were in an Intermediate ss Continent, we can even sell this for more than 10,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones. How much would a High Grade Spirit Stone be exchanged for a Low Grade Spirit Stone? Ning Cheng knew that Spirit Stones were also divided into three categories, High, Medium and Low Grade Spirit Stones, but he was not clear on the exchange rates. Tai Shu Shi was actually more proficient in this than Ning Cheng, and immediately replied, A High Grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for about 10 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, and a Medium Grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for about 10 Low Grade Spirit Stones. However, there is even a type of Spirit Stone called the Best Quality Spirit Stone, this is a precious and matchless thing, theoretically a Best Quality Spirit Stone can be exchanged for a 100 High Grade Spirit Stones. But the fact is someone would never exchange a Best Quality Spirit Stone for a High Grade Spirit Stone, not to say about a hundred, even if it was a thousand High Grade Spirit Stones no one would be willing to exchange it. Ning Cheng had not yet replied, when a ck dressed man had rushed out from the Xi Jie Auction House, when he came out, he stared at the Jade Box in the hands of Tai Shu Shi and quickly said, Does the box in your hand contain the Rainbow Light Grass? The tone of the man was as if he wanted to grab the box for himself. Tai Shu Shi put the Rainbow Light Grass away, sping his fist he said, Yes, it is indeed the Rainbow Light Grass, do you know if I could catch up with the auction tomorrow evening? You can, you can, please hurry up ande in. The skinny ck mans face was flushed with excitement, he did not even look at the two people, Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi with his eyes, and was just staring at the package that Tai Shu Shi put behind him. ...... After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi came out of the Xi Jie Auction House, Tai Shu Shi had an excited look in his eyes, but also had a bit of worry in them. Although they had just put forward a condition, that the Rainbow Light Grass was to be put in tomorrows auction. But the auction house demanded to split the price which made Ning Chengs heart to twitch uncontrobly, he had never seen anyone demanding 50 percent of the sales fee, this was what they meant by splitting it 50-50, it was indeed very vile. For Tai Shu Shi too worry this much, this even Ning Cheng also understood, he was worried that the Rainbow Light Grass would not be auctioned off properly. In fact, if it was before then Ning Cheng would also have such worries, in this ce, for strong people to rob others was way too normal. He perfectly knew that the auction house was very vile, but they had to agree to the conditions, since without strength they did not have the right to speak, after all this was not Earth. But now that the Rainbow Light Grass has already been sent to the auction, moreover they even had to split the earnings 50-50, but contrary to what was expected, he felt relieved in his heart. If this this was still in their hands, and if the news of it was leaked, it would definitely be a bad thing. Now that it was not in their hands, on the contrary, they did not have to worry about it. The Xi Jia Auction House doesnt seem to be small, so just for a single stub of a Rank 4 Spiritual Grass they would not do such a bad thing. You do not need to be worried about it, the Rainbow Light Grass is now not on our bodies, so you dont have to worry about it. What you need to consider is, how to obtain the Blue Tea Grass, and then find someone to refine the True Condensation Pill. This was what Ning Cheng was always thinking in his heart, on how to obtain a True Condensation Pill and then advance to the True Condensation Realm as soon as possible. Tai Shu Shi on hearing Ning Chengs words, immediately felt his heart rxed, We can get the Blue Tea Grass at the auction, as long as we attend the various auctions in the Xi Jie City, we will definitely be able to get our hands on the Blue Tea Grass. Even if we are not able to get it, we can finally go look for Pill Master Mulberry for a high price. Pill Master Mulberry? Ning Cheng repeated the name again. Tai Shu Shi nodded his head and said, Thats right, Pill Master Mulberry, Pill Master Mulberry is one of the only two Tier 3 Pill Masters of the Xi Jia City. He has an excellent reputation, even if you take out an even more precious Spiritual Grass, as long as you can give him a satisfactory price, he will help you in refining it, moreover he will never reveal what Pill is he helping you refine to his other guests. He also keeps everything in the open, and will not seize things by force. Ning Cheng also had heard of such a person, and was very satisfied with what he said, This is actually good, as soon as we are able to obtain the Blue Tea Grass we can go look for this Pill Master Mulberry. Tai Shu Shi said with a sigh, Although this Pill Master Mulberry is very good, but the asking price for his help is very high, it is even higher than the Xi Jia Auction House. As long as you want him to refine a pill for you, and as long as he settles on the Pill that you want him to refine, he will make the pill for you but with only 60% strength, moreover he will also charge arge amount of Spirit Stones. 60% strength Pill, and would still have to pay Spirit Stones? Ning Cheng thought to himself that his heart is not only ck, but rather it was ck to the degree of charcoal. Even if he was really capable of refining pills. ...... After you save Liane, are you ready to undertake the heavy responsibility to be together? In the future when you go to the Hua Continent, will you also take her with you? After reserving a private booth in the Xi Jiu Auction House, Ning Cheng carefully asked Tai Shu Shi. He did not know what was the cultivation of Liane, if it was not bad in the Xi Jie City, then in the future they could go to the Hua Continent together, if Lianes cultivation was too poor, then he would have to consider other things. Tai Shu Shi shook his head and said, I did not intend to take her to the Hua Continent, I also have no intention of marrying her. I am a descendant of the Tai Shu n, perhaps one day I may fall from the sky while going to the Le Continent. The path that I must take has long since been decided, the path that I chose is not smooth or safe and would not be peaceful for even a single day, it would not be appropriate to bring her with me. Ning Cheng did not ask again of this matter, the two people then began to discuss on how to obtain the True Condensation Pill, and how would they be able to advance to the True Condensation Realm, and then finally head to the Hua Continent. After exchanging their cultivation experiences with each other, Ning Cheng found that since the beginning, there were some things that he did not understand and as such had to ask Tai Shu Shi, it was onlyter that Tai Shu Shi started asking some questions to Ning Cheng. As the night passed by the, two people were still discussing each others past, Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi did not look tired, rather they were in high spirits. They knew that today was the day of the auction, the two people were eager to know how many Spirit Stones would the Rainbow Light Grass would sell for. ...... Ning Cheng had never been to an auction, but he had seen them on the television. But when he and Tai Shu Shi entered the Xi Jia Auction House, they were immediately shocked by the luxurious atmosphere in there. The Auction stage was surrounded bymps carved from pure white jades on all sides, the participants for the auction sat in a small row of private booths, and outside each of those private booth stood a beautiful woman. The first impression that Ning Cheng got, was that the auctions that were held on Earth could not even be remotelypared to this type of auction. Tai Shu Shi said in a low voice, The auctions at the Xi Jia City are usually small, and do not have such private booths, moreover they would not have so many women to service the patrons. It seems that this time it was because of the Rainbow Light Grass, that they improved the quality of the auction. Although Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi arrived early, but when the two people came inside, they saw that the gates of some of the booths were already shut, obviously some people had arrived even earlier than them. Half an hourter, the stage lights suddenly focussed onto a middle aged man who had stepped onto the auction stage some time ago, he first cupped his fists to the audience in front of him and then said, Todays auction was supposed to be a small one, but because yesterday we received two precious items, we decided to upgrade the scale of the auction. Fortunately, by the end of this month we will still hold arge scale auction, were many distinguished guests from the Xi Jie City would be attending. With less of this idle chit chat, well begin todays first auction. our first item is an extremely rare and precious Rank 2 Spiritual Grass called the Blue Tea Grass, I think that all our friends here are familiar with the importance of the Blue Tea Grass, it is one of the main Spiritual Grasses required for refining the True Condensation Pills. The base price for it is 30 Low Grade Spirit Stones, the bidding for it starts now. 50.... 60.... When the Blue Tea Grass came out, it immediately caused the people to call out various bids, the bidding continuously rose the price, and in just a few breaths time, the price of it rose to 100 Spirit Stones. Tai Shu Shi looked at Ning Cheng with excitement in his eyes and said, I have saved about 150 Spirit Stones till now,bined with the Spirit Stones we would earn, we should be able to purchase the Blue Tea Grass. Our luck really is good; I did not expect that the first item that they would take out would be the Blue Tea Grass. Ning Cheng lifted his hand to stop Tai Shu Shi from bidding and said, Stone, I feel that we will not be able to purchase this Blue Tea Grass. If the Rainbow Light Grass is able to sell for the price we expect it to, we could then just spend those Spirit Stones on the Pill Master Mulberry to purchase this thing. But why? After Tai Shu Shi asked he immediately once again said, Big brother, you are too careful, Blue Tea Grass is frequently sold here, there will not be any issues. Ning Cheng just smiled and said, Stone, now that we have a much safer choice why not choose the safe way? The Blue Tea Grass is not truly valuable, but a True Condensation Pill is extremely precious. I feel that the people who want the Blue Tea Grass, should always be presumed to also have the Golden Cicada Fruit, I really think that its good to be careful. It is not certain, some people purchase the Blue Tea Grass, just like me to collect the materials required for the True Condensation Pill. I dont even have the Golden Cicada Fruit. Tai Shu Shi said in a disagreeing tone. Ning Cheng just shook his head and said, The price of the blue Tea Grass has already risen to 200 Spirit Stones, I dont believe that, a person who does not have the Golden Cicada Fruit, would just individually spend 200 Spirit Stones to just buy the Blue Tea Grass. The others who buy them may not be afraid, but we currently do not have the ability for not being afraid. It was then that Tai Shu Shi noted that the price of the Blue Tea Grass had already reached 210 Spirit Stones, this kind of price was seldom seen. He nodded his head and said, Big brother, it seems what you said was indeed true, with such a high price, trying to buy it back would not be safe. Finally, the Blue Tea Grass was bought at the price of 220 Low Grade Spirit Stones by one of the owners of the private booth. The manager of the auction who was on the stage, when he saw the first auction to sell at such a high price, the tone of his voice immediately became excited and said in high voice, Congrattions to the friend who bought the Blue Tea Grass just now, but now the thing that we are going to bring up to the stage is something extremely precious. Even my Xi Jie Auction House has rarely seen a treasure of this level, it is one of the best quality Spear Artefact, the 7 Star Golden Spear....... Tai Shu Shi saw that there was an attractive golden long Spear in the hands of the manager, and hurriedly said, Big brother, I saw that you have a Spear Type Artefact, but it seems to be of Ordinary Rank, so we might as well buy this long Spear for you. Chapter 0068 – The Auction Chapter 0068 C The Auction The bidding price for this exquisite Spear starts at 800 Low Grade Spirit Stones, the bidding for it starts now. Just as the middle aged mans voice, who was standing on the Auction Stage fell, someone immediately offered 1000 Low Grade Spirit Stones. Just as the first offer was called out, thepetition for it immediately became fierce, and the price quickly surpassed 1500 Low Grade Spirit Stones, and was quickly approaching 2000 Spirit Stones. Tai Shu Shi looked at Ning Cheng in an embarrassing way, I did not think that the price of this Artefact would reach this high, I knew I should have studied Crafting. Ning Cheng did not mind and smiled and said, Let alone the fact that I do not have the necessary Spirit Stones, even if I did have the funds, I would not make a move on that Spear. After several rounds of offers, this 7 Star Gold Spear was purchased by someone for 3600 Low Grade Spirit Stones. After the middle aged man who managed the auction sold the Spear Artefact, he held up a leather volume and said in a clear voice, This is a map, everybody please do not think that it is a treasure map. This is definitely not a treasure map, but rather it is a map of a dangerous ce. Many of our friends want to go to the Hua Continent, but because of the dangers in the Thunder Fall Desert which basically does not allow for the ordinary people to pass through the desert. But this map will allow you to pass safely through the Thunder Desert, but truthfully it has not been verified, so whether it really is real or fake is still debatable. Just as Ning Cheng listened to those words, he was immediately pleased in his heart, while thinking that he had to find a way to purchase this map. Since this map was not verified, so the price would definitely not be high, and even the people who would want to buy it would also be not many. But actually the map had only a little interest for him, he already had a map, the main reason why he wanted to buy the map was to make aparison between the two maps. After all, the map that he obtained before was just a simple one. The base price of this map is 1000 Spirit Stones, and each increment will be of at least 100 Spirit Stones or more, the bidding for it starts now...... The words spoken by the middle aged man who managed the auction immediately made Ning Cheng to think deeply, the map was said to be not verified, but still he actually set the base price for 1000 Spirit Stones, wouldnt it mean that if the map was actually verified then wouldnt it sell for several tens of thousands of Spirit Stones? The more Ning Cheng thought about it, the more he felt puzzled, while he was thinking about it someone already offered 1100 Spirit Stones for it, even when they did not know if the map was genuine or fake, the price of the map had already risen up to 1500 Spirit Stones. Thus from this it could be seen, that there were many people who wanted to go to the Hua Continent. Finally, this map was purchased by someone for 3100 Spirit Stones. For the following items in the auction, Ning Cheng thoroughly did not have any idea about what was going on, he only had about 300 Spirit Stones with him, other than the first item in the auction, the Blue Tea Grass, he basically could not even ce the starting bid. In the low levelled continents, Spirit Stones are already extremely difficult to obtain, but when it came to the use of Spirit Stones, Ning Cheng found that not all people used the Spirit Stones like him. After quite a while passed by, Ning Cheng finally heard the middle aged man who managed the auction to finally say, What I am going to bring out next is a Spiritual Grass, I believe that many of the people here havee especially for this Spiritual Grass. Thats right, this is a Rank 4 Spiritual Grass, the Rainbow Light Grass.... Even if they were in a private booth, Ning Cheng could certainly feel that when the Rainbow Light Grass came out, it finally caused arge scalemotion. The middle aged man who was handling the auction had said nothing wrong, as many of the people here had indeede here for the Rainbow Light Grass. The effect of this Rainbow Light Grass is pretty well known to everybody here, which is the ability to repair and replenish ones Core Sea, basically its value is something that cant be estimated. For now, the base price for this item is 5000 Low Grade Spirit Stones, and one can only increase the price in the minimum increments of 500 Spirit Stones each time, the bidding for this item starts now. Ning Cheng found that the person who managed this auction would always set the price for the items a bit low, so that when the people started bidding, the final price of the item would always end up several times more than the original base price. Once the Rainbow Light Grass was taken out, Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi were staring at it in a very nervous way. 5000 Low Grade Spirit Stones, even if nobody increased the price, they would still be able to obtain 2500 Spirit Stones, rtively speaking, for them it was almost enough. 6000 Spirit Stones. 7000 Spirit Stones. ...... The price quickly rose to 12,000 Spirit Stones, obviously there were many people who wanted the Rainbow Light Grass, and also knew how precious the Rainbow Light Grass was. When the price actually reached 19,000 Spirit Stones, suddenly a cold voice came from inside a private booth, This old man bids 20,000 Spirit Stones, who dares to increase the price again? The people in the private booths would always pass on their offers through other people, but for one of them to directly quote a price with an arrogant voice, this was really a first. There seemed to be a lot of people who knew this man, after this man with a cold voice spoke out his offer, nobody dared to give out a counter offer. Ning Cheng in his heart was really hating this man, he knew from the atmosphere in the auction house, that this Rainbow Light Grass final price was definitely much more than 20,000 Spirit Stones. This bastard of an old man wanted to buy his Rainbow Light Grass for only 20,000 Spirit Stones, this was simply robbing of Spirit Stones. Although he was really hating him in his heart, Ning Cheng did not speak out, he along with the other people in the action had already tacitly approved of his existence, he was only a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 9th Level, trying topete with him would only be courting death. This old thing is too shameless. Tai Shu Shi said that sentence in a bitter tone. Ning Cheng said helplessly, This shameless man does not concern about face because he has the strength, if he did not have the strength to back it up then would he still be so shameless and throw away his face. For us to obtain 10,000 Spirit Stones, is already sufficient for our purpose. It was no suspense that the Rainbow Light Grass was finally bought by the old man for 20,000 Spirit Stones, after the auction was concluded, Ning Cheng did not have any interest in staying there. Tai Shu Shi also had the same idea as that of Ning Cheng, and stood up after the Rainbow Light Grass was sold and said, Big Brother, we are good to go now. At this time, the middle aged man presiding over the auction loudly said, Next, we will be bringing out a low grade airship Type Artefact for the auction...... Lets wait. Ning Cheng, when he heard that it was an Airship Type Artefact, was immediately moved in his heart. With his current cultivation level, using the Flying Sword to fly made him too tired, and if he had to encounter an emergency situation, like encountering an enemy with his exhausted body, it would be really dangerous for him. If he had an airship Type Artefact then would be different, an airship Type Artefact only needed a little bit of ones Spiritual Sense, as the airship Type Artefact would need mostly Spirit Stones to operate, and the resulting effect on ones Spiritual Sense would be extremely minimal. This airship Type Artefact has a base price of 600 Spirit Stones, and each bid cannot be lower than 100 Spirit Stones.... Ning Cheng was amazed and asked, Even the best quality Spear Type Artefact had the base price of 800 Low Grade Spirit Stones, so why is this airship Type Artefact this expensive? Tai Shu Shi knew that Ning Cheng was from the Ping Continent, so he knew that his understanding of the conditions in the Yuan Continent was not very much, and immediately answered, Among all the types of Artefacts, the price of the airship Type Artefact is the highest. A price of just a low grade airship Type Artefact, is almost equal to a high grade offensive Type Artefacts. The airship Type Artefacts final price will not be much lower than that of that Spear from before. Sure enough the price of the airship Type Artefact had already reached 1300 Spirit Stones, and besides it didnt seem to be stopping anywhere soon. Lets go. Ning Cheng did not have any more ideas on trying to buy the airship Type Artefact. ...... Lets go look for the Pill Master Mulberry. After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi had already collected the 10,000 Spirit Stones and hade out of the Auction House. The auction provided him with a great deal of excitement, although there were a lot of things that he wished to buy, but obviously he did not have the Spirit Stones to purchase them. The Rainbow Light Grass obviously could be sold for an even higher price, but for an unavoidable reason it was sold for a low price. After analysing it for a time, it was because his strength was too low. He must find a Pill Master to immediately refine a True Condensation Pill, and begin his preparation to advance to the True Condensation Realm. As long as he was able to advance to the True Condensation Realm, he would be able to immediately go to the Hua Continent. Tai Shu Shi also had the same idea as that of Ning Cheng, but he does not have an idea to go to the Hua Continent immediately, he first wanted to save Liane, once the issues with Liane were settled, only then would he make his way to the Hua Continent. The Pill Master Mulberry is an entric, as far as possible try not to bargain with him, what he hates the most is someone trying to bargain with him. ...... The ce where the Pill Master Mulberry lived had a very ordinary appearance, even the courtyard in front of the house was very simple. But when Ning Cheng arrived here, he immediately discovered that there was a Defensive Array Formation all around the house and the courtyard. As Tai Shu Shi stood in front of the outside door, he pped his hands 3 times in the air. Then while looking at the expression on Ning Chengs face, he whispered, We will be waiting right here, as long as the Pill Master Mulberry has the time, he will ask us toe in. Sure enough, after a few breaths, Ning Cheng saw that the Defensive Array Formation in front of them open wide, and immediately a voice arrived, Come in. As Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi pushed open the gates of thepound, they found that the courtyard in front of them was actually a big Spiritual Grass Garden, inside there were numerous Rank 1 and Rank 2 Spiritual Grasses, there were even several Rank 3 Spiritual Grasses. A boy could be seen checking a stub of a Spiritual Grass. When Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi came in, the boy did not seem to see them, and was taking care of his own thing. In the middle of thisrge Spiritual Grass garden, there was a winding path, that lead to a narrow door. Ning Cheng along with Tai Shu Shi walked through this winding path, and entered through the narrow door, and immediately saw arge pill furnace. There were mes underneath the pill furnace emitting rumbling like noises. Behind the pill furnace, there was a man sitting on a cushion, while holding a Spiritual Grass in his hand and appearing to be lost in some deep thought. Ning Cheng could not see this persons cultivation level, so he guessed that the person in front of him was a cultivator in the Essence Building Realm. These juniors, Tai Shu Shi and Ning Cheng, greets Senior Mulberry, the reason why these juniors disturb senior this time, is to ask the senior to help us in refining a pill. Tai Shu Shis tone was extremely respectful and even bent his waist while he said those word while sping his fist. Ning Cheng also slightly bowed, and cupped his fists. He was thinking about the Rainbow Light Grass that he had sold in the auction house, this Pill Master seemed to like Spiritual Grasses, so it was probably right to think that he would have an interest in it, but then why did he not even show an interest in it? This Pill Master Mulberry had probably not seen them, nor heard the words that were spoken by Tai Shu Shi, and was still staring at the Spiritual Grass in his hands while frowning as he contemted something. Ning Cheng was secretly despising this person in heart, this fellow was just a Tier 3 Pill Master. At the beginning, he had even met the old woman in the Nan Yuan City, he knew that her level of Alchemy was much higher than this person who called himself Pill Master Mulberry, other people may not know about it but how could he not recognise such a thing. It was regrettable that the reason why he had toe here today was because he also wanted to help Tai Shu Shi. Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi waited for nearly the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, but this Pill Master Mulberry still had not spoken to them. Just when Ning Cheng was going to ask again, this Pill Master Mulberry suddenly asked, What medicinal pill do you want to refine? This junior wants to refine a True Condensation Pill. Tai Shu Shi replied quickly. True Condensation Pill? The Pill Master Mulberry finally put down the Spiritual Grass in his hands, and turned around and stared at Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi. Yes, thats right. Tai Shu Shi immediately replied in an affirmative tone. Chapter 0069 – Successfully Obtaining The True Condensation Pill Chapter 0069 C Sessfully Obtaining The True Condensation Pill Oh, then you have to bring out the materials for refining the True Condensation Pill. Moreover, my True Condensation Pill will be of 60% strength, plus you also will have to shell out 1,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones. Pill Master Mulberry casually said, as he put down the Spiritual Grass in his hand, it seemed that he had some sort of breakthrough in his research, and thus his mood was very good. Otherwise even if Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi wanted, he would not say those words this quickly. Ning Cheng thought that this persons heart was really ck, not only would he only produce the pill with only 60% strength but he also demanded an extra 1,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones. Not only that, even his tone was also very casual, and it did not seem that he even liked refining pills, Ning Cheng just couldnt help but think darkly in his heart, just what made these Pill Masters so amazing? Senior Mulberry, I have a request, if it is OK with Senior, I just want a Pill of 50% strength. If it is useless to Senior, then we will defer to what senior said. Ning Cheng had not yet finished, when he saw that the Pill Master Mulberrysplexion sank, as till now no one had ever dared to bargain in front of him for a Pill. How could he even dare to ask him make a pill with 10% less strength? This guy simply did not know what was good or bad for him. Pill Master Mulberry was just going to reprimand Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi when Ning Cheng spoke in a timely manner, In todays auction there was a Rank 4 Rainbow Light Grass, but I do not know if this Spiritual Grass would be valuable to senior or not. Personally, I definitely think that it is a good thing, and it would certainly be taken out by the auction house as theirst act. Ning Cheng gambled that this Pill Master Mulberry did not know about the matter with the Rainbow Light Grass, if the Pill Master Mulberry knew about this matter, then he would definitely not give up the pursuit of the Rainbow Light Grass. When Ning Cheng saw him concentrate on studying a Rank 3 Spiritual Grass, he came to this conclusion that he really liked studying Spiritual Grasses. Tai Shu Shi was iparably anxious in his heart; he did not think that Ning Cheng would actually dare to bargain. However, he did not have the time to apologise to Pill Master Mulberry, when he saw that the Pill Master Mulberry had already stood up in shock. At this moment Tai Shu Shi knew that the words of Ning Cheng had a huge effect on him, and secretly admired him in his heart. Ning Cheng not only dared to bargain, but even dared to say the Rainbow Light Grass would be taken out by the auction house as itsst act. But the fact was, that the Rainbow Light Grass was already sold out, he was very clear about this, after all the Rainbow Light Grass was theirs to begin with and had even sold it for 20,000 Spirit Stones. Tai Shu Shi certainly understood the meaning of Ning Cheng, because almost everyone in the Xi Jia City knew that the auction house would still hold a grand auction at the end of the month. Once Pill Master Mulberry helped them in finishing the refining of the Pill, and then arrived at the auction, he would find that the Spiritual Grass that he was pursuing was already purchased by someone else. Seeing the expression on Pill Master Mulberrys face, Ning Cheng felt happy in his heart, this guy really did not know about the Rainbow Light Grass, it was no wonder that he was still staying in his home keenly observing the Spiritual Grass in his hands. Do you have the Spiritual Grasses required for refining the True Condensation Pill. Pill Master Mulberry directly asked Tai Shu Shi. Tai Shu Shi did not know whether the Pill Master Mulberry agreed with Ning Chengs request or not, but he immediately took out a cloth bag that he had hung on his back and started taking out Spiritual Grasses one at a time, and piling them on the floor in front of him. Pill Master Mulberry just waved his hands, and the pile of Spiritual Grasses instantly vanished, while simultaneously took out a jade bottle and tossed it into the hands of Tai Shu Shi and said, I have already refined a batch of 60% strength True Condensation Pills, there are three True Condensation Pills in that jade bottle, you can go now. Not to say about the 1000 Spirit Stones per pill, he did not even ask about a single Spirit Stone. They could guess that he wanted to hurry to the auction house to see if it was toote for him to obtain the Spiritual Grass. Many thanks to Pill Master Mulberry. Ning Cheng quickly pulled at Tai Shu Shi who was still surprised, thanked the Pill Master once more, and hurried out of the narrow door. Big brother, you really are fantastic. After they went far away from the ce of residence of the Pill Master Mulberry, Tai Shu Shi gave a thumbs up and said in an appreciative tone. Dont speak anything about this for now, and lets hurry back. Once that Pill Master Mulberry found out that he had kicked the iron board, he will definitely hate us. Next time it would be better if we dont go looking for him to refine pills, this was just a ime business transaction. Ning Cheng was also very pleased with the result. After going through so many hardships, he was finally able to obtain the True Condensation Pill. With this True Condensation Pill and the Spirit Stones he had on him, he thought that advancing to the True Condensation Realm would not be much of a problem. As long as he was able to advance to the True Condensation Realm, then he would have a little more protection for himself as he entered the Hua Continent. Oh dear. The two people were not happy for long, when Tai Shu Shi immediately stopped and called out. Whats the matter? Ning Cheng asked Tai Shu Shi in a puzzled way. Tai Shu Shi patted his head, I just remembered that we still did not have a stalk of the Blue Tea Grass, when I was interrupted by you I ended up forgetting about it. Once this matter was discovered by the Pill Master Mulberry, we will definitely suffer. Ning Cheng also frowned a bit, but then said, He should not have felt something amiss when he checked those Spiritual Grasses. Once he picked the pile up, it represented that he had already examined it. Besides, he would definitely go and try to rob the Rainbow Light Grass from who ever got it, and would not be able to go through the Spiritual Grass pile that we gave him for at least several days. Even if he was able to notice such a thing, the Blue Tea Grass is something that could be easily be bought for a few Spirit Stones, and thus is a small matter for him. When Tai Shu Shi heard the words of Ning Cheng, he felt relieved, and seemed to think that it really was a small matter. But I still think that after you save Liane, we should really immediately leave this Xi Jia City. Ning Cheng said carefully. I already understood this even if you did not say it. Tai Shu Shi said while nodding his head. ....... The two people hurriedly found a ce a ce to rest, as Tai Shu Shi took out the jade bottle, he poured out one of the three True Condensation Pills for him and gave the other two pills to Ning Cheng and said, Big brother, just one is enough for me, you can have the rest. With the Spirit Stones on you, we can then go to the Yi Shui Courtyard in a few days. In these few days I am going to tidy up our gains, and then start to prepare to advance to the True Condensation Realm. Ning Cheng also did not refuse, he took the Jade Bottle and said, All right, I am also ready to tidy up my own gains, we will meet again 2 dayster. The amount of cultivation resources that he required were very terrifying, even with a True Condensation Pill it was uncertain if he would be able to advance or not, but at the moment it was fortunate that he had obtained 2 out of the 3 of True Condensation Pills. ...... Two dayster, Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi entered the Yi Shui Courtyard. A few days ago when Tai Shu Shi left the Yi Shui Courtyard he was very anxious, but today Tai Shu Shi was fully confident in himself, and even his manner was very rxed. At this time there was a giant banner that was hung on the entrance of the Yi Shui Courtyard, on the banner was written, Yi Shui Courtyards 11 Popr Ladies up for auction today. If you want to know the details of these 11 sisters from the Yi Shui Courtyard, please pay 10 Spirit Stones at the entrance of the Yi Shui Courtyard. It was good that they calcted it beforehand, before they even sold the people, both of them knew that they would also ask for an admission fee. This was so that the Yi Shui Courtyard would not incur a loss from those who only came to see, and to grab feathers from a flying goose. Hey, how is it 11 People? Initially did you not say that there were 10 people up for the auction? Howe there is another one? Tai Shu Shi asked a person in a strange voice. Ning Chengs thoughts werent focused on the Yi Shui Courtyards auction, he just wanted for the things here to get over, and then take care of his own things afterwards. If he was not talked intoing here by Tai Shu Shi, then he would not have apanied Tai Shu Shi to wade through this kind of muddy waters. Leave the others alone, hurry up and go inside, the sooner that you can take care of your things, the sooner we will be able to leave here. Ning Cheng reminded Tai Shu Shi, then took out a Spirit Stone and passed it out to a pretty elder sister who was nearby and said, This elder sister, I would like to ask if Liu Han Yu is in? If elder sister is not busy, could I ask elder sister to help me in calling Liu Han Yu. Tai Shu Shi gave an unbelievable look to Ning Cheng and said, Big brother, dont tell me you feel attracted to Han Yu? Are you also simr to me who wants to save Han Yu and walk out of here together? Ning Cheng did not answer, when the pretty elder sister hurriedly gave back the Spirit Stone to Ning Cheng, then after carefully looking in all four directions, she said in a small voice, Are you one of the guests of Sister Han Yu? You must have not known about it, I do not know what has happened to Sister Han Yu, because she was not willing to take up any guests for thest few days, as a result she was finally listed for sale.... So it was because of this, that there are now 11 people that are to be auctioned off today? Tai Shu Shi suddenly asked. Remembering what Ning Cheng said just a while ago, Tai Shu Shi quickly asked, Big Brother, do you want to save Han Yu? You and her.... Ning Cheng was silent for a moment and then said, There are some matters that you do not know, I already have a fiance, and moreover I do not have any feelings towards Han Yu. However, if 1000 Spirit Stones are able to help her once, then I will not mind it and immediately give those Spirit Stones to her. I understand. It was out of Ning Chengs expectations, but after Tai Shu Shi spoke those three characters, he did not speak anymore. Although he does not have a fiance, but he was the same and could not marry Liane. When the two men entered the auction hall of the Yi Shui Courtyard, Ning Cheng finally understood why it was called a second rate ce. Although it was an auction hall, butpared to the auction hall he had been in just a few days ago, this was simply a vegetable market. In this huge room there were only makeshift red tables inside it, and in the front of them were people sitting in seven or eight rows on rickety chairs. When Ning Cheng looked at these people, Ning Cheng first thought of Xian Yuan Kui of the Cang Le City. These people and Xian Yuan Kui were a simr ss of people, they hardly even cultivated, but they would still talk extravagantly. They were all discussing which elder sister should they deserve, and how much price should they buy them for. Other than the few people sitting in the first row, the were more than 10 people sitting in the second row. From the clothing and the expressions on their faces, the people in the second row should not be worse than the people sitting in the first row. But they all had their eyes shut and meditating, and were not like the youths sitting in the first row who were exchanging their extravagant theories with each other loudly. In addition to that, Ning Cheng also noted that there were several people who were sitting with their face covered by a priest hat, there was even a strange atmosphere around them. Even if Ning Cheng did not have any contact with the cultivation practices of women being used as cultivation furnaces, he easily could say that these people were definitely here to buy women to use as their cultivation furnaces. As for some of the older people, they were all sitting in the corner silently, one would not be able to tell if they were here to purchase a pretty sister, or just wanted to watch the fun. Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi found a ce to sit down, and no longer spoke. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a pretty woman with an intoxicating fragrance and dressed in only her undergarments walked step by step like a praying mantis and stepped onto the red stage. With her attractive snow white skinbined with her shapely breasts that were moving up and down as she breathed, it was as if she was doing a live advertisement. Thank you fellow masters toe to our Yi Shui Courtyard to join us in our auction, out of the 11 beautiful elder sisters listed in the auction, I am sure none of them will let our esteemed guests be disappointed....... Her tone was gentle and charming to the ears, she hadnt even finished speaking, when the few young people sitting in the front row said whileughing, We like the way you are, both big and white...... This elder brother who likes this Jue Jiao is really remarkable, after this auction ends, Jue Jiao will definitely apany you. They did not know if what she spoke was true or false, but at least after she spoke those words, the atmosphere became even more fervent. Well the first on our list is Ying Ying, Ying Ying has a three-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, and even her appearance is very gentle and charming, is very understanding, and is most suitable to be a cultivation furnace.... Although this woman called Jue Jiao spoke the words of being suitable as a cultivation furnace, but she did not seem to be disturbed by it even for a bit, and as for the guests, none of them felt it to be wrong. Just as Jue Jiao finished speaking, the red curtains behind her separated, and a woman with long hair wearing a light green dress appeared in front of everyones eyes. This woman looked very beautiful, but her eyes looked a little callous, it made her look like a puppet who had already lost hope. Chapter 0070 – You Are Nothing Chapter 0070 C You Are Nothing The base price for her is 1,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones, although this price cannot express the beauty of Ying Yingpletely. But since today everybody here is a regr patron of our Yi Shui Courtyard, and also for the sake of better ownership of Ying Ying, we decided to lower the base price for her ....... Jue Jiao spoke with a charming expression on her face, as if she waspletely unaware of her own shamelessness. 1,300 Spirit Stones, I already fancied Miss Ying Ying from the beginning, everybody please do not try to rob her from me. A fat man dressed in a pure white dress who was sitting in the front row immediately stood up and shouted. This man made Ning Cheng remember the arrogant old man from the Xi Jia Auction House, but the white robed fat man standing in front of him was only at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, Ning Cheng did not know from where did he get so much confidence. 2,000 Spirit Stones. Ning Chengs guess was right, just when this fat man finished with his bid, there was another bid, but this time the increase was of 700 Spirit Stones. This bid was made by a man wearing a ck robe who was sitting in the corner. This white robed fat man obviously did not think that there would be a person who would not dare to give him face here, and immediately became angry and said, Who are you? Did you just arrive in Xi Jia City, and want to intentionally make me lose face? This fat mans sentence also contained an important message, you have just arrived in Xi Jia City, not only did you not to go inquire about who I am, but even dared to go against me? p p. There were two resounding ps, as the ck dressed man immediately flew up to the fat man and pped his face twice. When the white robed fat man fell down, simultaneously spitting out two teeth. You are nothing in front of me, just dare to speak again in front of me, and see how this father will chop you into little pieces. The ck robed man then slowly walked back to his seat, while simultaneously speaking those words withplete disdain. The white robed fat man seemed to have been scared by the aggressiveness of the ck robed man, and did not even dare to continue to speak. Jue Jiao acted as if she did not notice thismotion, and was still standing on the stage while ncing at the crowd with her charming eyes, it seemed as if she was searching for someone who would bid a higher price. Everyone knew that Miss Ying Ying was definitely not worth only 2,000 Spirit Stones, but the others were clearly scared of the ck robed man and did not want topete against him. When there was no one to continue to increase the bids, finally Miss Ying Ying was delivered to the side of the ck robed man. Ning Cheng had taken a note of this ck haired man before, his true cultivation level was at True Condensation 2nd Level, but he had concealed his cultivation level, and to others he only looked like a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 8th Level. In Ning Chengs view, this ck robed mans cultivation of True Condensation 2nd Level was still not enough to scare the Yi Shui Courtyard. But for this person to be daring enough to be so arrogant, it would mean that he should have someone significant backing him up which this Yi Shui Courtyard was truly scared of. The red curtain on the stage was once again pulled close, and Jue Jiaos body shook as she giggled a bit before saying, Congrattion for our patron to be able to acquire Miss Ying Ying a moment ago, and also congrattions to Miss Ying Ying who has found a better home. Ning Cheng in his heart sneered at her, this ck robed man obviously wanted to use Miss Ying Ying as his cultivation furnace, it would be more appropriate to say that Miss Ying Ying jumped from the pan and entered into the fire pit. This Jue Jiao was so shameless, to even dare to speak such good words about her ownership. Our second appearance is of Miss Nuo Mei, Miss Nuo Mei has a dual Support Spiritual Root, if not to find our Miss Nuo Wei a better home, our Yi Shui Courtyard would definitely not be willing to let her go. To let Miss Nuo Mei experience even more happiness in her future, we set the base price for her only for 1,500 Spirit Stones...... Just as Jue Jiao said those words in a tender tone, the red curtain behind her automatically opened. What appeared in the peoples sight was a pretty woman wearing a blue dress, this woman did not seem to be like the one before her, and had chosen to smile for the people, which showed that she at least had a better temperament. Even Ning Cheng had his doubts if the smile on her face was natural or not, as with her graceful look she lookedpletely different, it was as if she herself wanted to be put up for the auction. 2,000 Spirit Stones. A young man sitting in the second row immediately offered. Ning Cheng at this time noticed that this Miss Nuo Mei had a gentle look in her eyes when she looked at the young man, he immediately knew that this man was the same as Tai Shu Shi, and came specifically to take away Miss Nuo Mei. I put in 2,200 Spirit Stones. The ck dressed man immediately offered to buy her. When the young man heard that offer, hisplexion changed, but he still said in a deep voice, 2,300 Spirit Stones. I put up 2,500 Spirit Stones. It seemed that the ck robed man who had already purchased a woman before was filthy rich, and would not hesitate to increase the price. Ning Cheng already saw it, this ck robed man did not seem to want her as a furnace, but wanted the woman to help him test out a certain kind of Cultivation Method, therefore he wanted this woman who did not appear to be a cultivator unlike the others. Having a Spiritual Root, a woman cultivator would most likely be whisked away by some academies or small sects, for a person to actuallye to the Yi Shui Courtyard to buy women, it can be said to be a shortcut. Ning Cheng sighed in his heart darkly, it that was really true, then these sisters who were being bought, would have an even more tragic fate than being a cultivation furnace. I bid 2,600 Spirit Stones, this Senior, Miss Nuo Mei is someone who I deeply like, this Senior, please show some leniency. This young man had an extremely polite tone, it was much better than what the white robed fat man used. At least he did note to the Xi Jia City to threaten other people. The ck robed man nce at the young man and suddenly said, Who do you think you are? 3,000 Spirit Stones, elder brother, you already obtained one of them, leave this to me. Another man sitting in another corner wearing a grey robe stood up, after quoting first, then he turned to the person who purchased Ying Ying, and said politely to the ck robe wearing man as he cupped his fists. When the ck robed man who purchased Miss Ying Ying before heard this, he immediately replied, I recently have a great need for several women for my Cultivation Method, and as such I will not be here the next time. But if you want topete against me today, then you will be my mortal enemy. Having said that the ck robed man once again bid, I bid 3,100 Spirit Stones. Having bid more than 3,000 Spirit Stones the grey robed man seemed to be very afraid of this person, after frowning for a bit, he finally decided to not to continue to increase the bid. The young mansplexion, who was sitting in the second row and had made the first offer, immediately changed, he only had about 2,800 Spirit Stones on him. He had originally thought that it would be sufficient enough, he never imagined that Miss Nuo Meis price would increase this quickly to 3,100 Spirit Stones. He looked at the face of the white robed fat man who still had bloodstains on his face, and finally did not continue to speak. Seeing that his man could not increase the price again, Nuo Mie immediately felt something was wrong and herplexion immediately turned pale. These people had not been here for a few days, and had long since heard that some cultivators used to cultivate some strange and terrifying Cultivation Methods with the women they purchased. Now this ck robed person called Xun Shun, who had already purchased Miss Ying Ying, wanted to buy her again, it was clear that he wanted to use those sisters for his cultivation. Meng Lang, please help me increase the price quickly, I beg you to increase the price.... Nuo Wei finally could not sit still, and almost with a crying voice shouted from the stage. Her voice was really heart wrenching, and made other peoples heart to be anxious for her. But it was really a pity, this Meng Lang not only did not increase the price, but he even sat down with his head low. Jue Jiao suddenly frowned, and gave a cold snort. When Nuo Mei heard that cold snort, she subconsciously shivered, and no longer dared to call out to Meng Lang again. Tai Shu Shi who was sitting next to Ning Cheng let out a sigh, They really are too poor, and if I had not met you, I probably would have been the same as him and would not be able to save Liane.... Ning Cheng had never seen this kind of thing before in his life, the rest of the people were just calmly sitting there watching the scene of seeing those women being thrown into the fire pit. Even if these women were not cultivators, he knew that he would not be able to remain calm. At this point of time he was clenching his fist so hard that even he wouldnt be surprised if water came out of it, but it really was a pity as he really did not have the ability or the resources to help them all. He could only see that ck robed person called Xun Shun take out the 3,100 Spirit Stones as he once again went ahead and purchased Nuo Mei. Then sure enough from what this person by the name of Xun Shun said, he once again purchased the third, and the fifth women who came onto the stage. The fourth, sixth and the seventh were purchased by other people. It seemed as if these three women were not up to the standard of what this Xun Shun was looking for, no one knew that if it was their appearance or qualifications that did or meet his demands, so he did not offer any bids. But everyone present knew that as long as he quoted his price, no one wouldpete with him and he could easily buy them. The people sitting in the front two rows were the ones who bid the most, but they were never sessful even once. Having witnessed what happened to the white robed fat man, no one dared to continue to bid and risked being threatened by those unidentified ck robed people, or those cultivators who were sitting with their face covered by their hats. Our eighth sister toe up on stage is our Yi Shui Courtyards Miss Liane, Miss Liane is someone who has a primary Spiritual Root, moreover even her appearance is extremely exceptional. So Miss Lianes base price is set to 2,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones, the people who want to take a shot at Miss Liane, please start early.... Just after Jue Jiao finished speaking, the curtain behind her immediately opened revealing a tall and pale looking woman. This woman had long hair, and was even more beautiful than the previous seven women by several times. Not only that, this woman also had the highest cultivation level out of all of them, and was already at Qi Gathering 5th Level. Ning Cheng saw the approval in Tai Shu Shis eyes, this womans cultivation was really good. I bid 2,500 Low Grade Spirit Stones. The man in the ck robe called Xun Shun made the first bid. Tai Shu Shi immediately increased the bidding price and said, 3,000 Spirit Stones. As if she heard Tai Shu Shis voice, Liane immediately looked at him in surprise, then she saw the glowing light in the eyes of Tai Shu Shi, and her pale face gained a rosy colour. 3,500 Spirit Stones, I want this woman called Liane, who dares to further increase the price? The expression on the Xun Shuns face immediately turned cold, and looked at Tai Shu Shi with an intent to kill. This Killing Intent was almost immediately sensed by Tai Shu Shi, but he had already understood that this Xun Shun was definitely not at Qi Gathering 8th Level, but a cultivator in the True Condensation Realm. Sensing that this Xun Shun was a cultivator at the True Condensation Realm, Tai Shu Shispletion immediately turned ugly, and unexpectedly did not speak for a while, he did not know if he should continue to increase the price. If he continued to increase the price wouldnt he have not learnt from the lesson that the white robed fat man got. Not only would he not able to save Liane, but he would also end up dragging Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng saw the expression on Tai Shu Shis face, and immediately knew that he was overwhelmed by the Killing Intent from this Xun Shun. He did not hesitate and immediately offered, 4,000 Spirit Stones. Good, very good, there unexpectedly is a person who dare to rob Xun Shuns woman.... As Xun Shun spoke, his entire body was filled with a dense murderous intent once again, while at the same time directly rushed out to p Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng, was a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 9th Level, in his eyes, he was just an ant. Who do you think you are? Dare to speak such nonsense in front of your father. Ning Cheng realized that having an imposing manner was very important, and said those words sarcastically to Xun Shun, while simrly flying out, and then sending out a punch towards him. Chapter 0071 – I Understand Chapter 0071 C I Understand As the ck robed mans fist moved towards him, Ning Cheng also punched out with his fist, whichpletely split apart the force of the iing fist, just like a Great Axe, he even released his Killing Intent to the full. This was not a simple punch; it was as if his opponents oppressive Killing Intent waspletely split by an axe. As a result, the force from the fist of Xun Shun which was also filled with his Killing Intent waspletely dispersed, but Ning Chengs punch which seemed like an axe was still continuing towards him without even the slightest bit of dy. Bang a muffled sound emerged, as Ning Chengs fist directly blew back Xun Shuns fist. Xun Shun had previously thought that Ning Cheng was just a cultivator in the Qi Gathering Realm, so he had not put him in his eyes, as such he had not used his full power during his attack. In his view, this fist of his was more than enough to break several teeth of Ning Cheng. He had never thought that Ning Cheng would be this powerful, by the time he could even aggregate more of his True Essence it was already toote, and the only option left for him was to retreat. Ning Cheng understood this Xun Shuns idea, after Xun Shun saw that he could not take the force of his Axe Fist, he immediately retreated, while simultaneously Ning Cheng also sent out a kick towards him. This foot solidly connected with his chest, but Xun Shun used the bacsh from this kick to once again retreat. Looking at this, it would seem that Xun Shun was kicked by Ning Cheng with his foot, but the fact was Xun Shu was actually not injured at all, as he just utilized that opportunity to retreat. Before he had wanted to teach Ning Cheng a lesson, but instead he was taught a lesson by Ning Cheng, and was even kicked away by him. After losing such a huge amount of face, Xun Shuns face immediately turned red, and even held a bit of fear towards Ning Cheng, although he and Ning Cheng had barely exchanged a few moves, but just from that exchange he knew that Ning Cheng was definitely not an ordinary Qi Gathering Cultivator. Swish a red Flying Sword appeared in the hands of Xun Shun, as the Killing Intent emanating from his body suddenly surged, it seemed that he really wanted to go against Ning Cheng once more. This was something that Jue Jiao could not tolerate and finally said, If you two guests want to fight, then please leave the auction immediately, you can go outside and fight. This is the auction house of the Yi Shui Courtyard, if everyone was like you two, then my Yi Shui Courtyard would not exist today as it is. These words spoken by her were both a persuasion and a threat, but theplexion of Xun Shun immediately turned green, finally looking at Ning Cheng he coldly snorted and said, Good, good, let me see today how would you be able to leave Xi Jia City. Ning Cheng just patted down his slightly wrinkled clothes and replied in an indifferent voice, That should be my, your fathers, sentence, you fart of a person. He and Xun Shu had barely exchanged 2 moves, so he knew that although he looked powerful, but his cultivation level was not even up to par to that of Xiong Qi Hua. Ning Cheng also was able to guess that Xun Shun had someone behind him, and he believed that because of this person, he would definitely not be able to do anything to Xun Shun inside the city regarding this matter, but once he came outside the Xi Jia City then he knew that Xun Shun would definitely will try to stop him. As long as he was able to lure Xun Shun out of the Xi Jia City, he would definitely be able to kill Xun Shu, and moreover be able to walk away. Even if this incident came to lightter, he would have already left the Xi Jia City. Seeing Ning Cheng teach such a lesson to that arrogant ck clothed man called Xun Shun, there was nobody in the room who dared to continue increase the price. Ning Cheng finally was able to use the 4,000 Spirit Stones to buy Liane back. Tai Shu Shi even forgot that Liane had alreadye over, and was still excited and said, Big brother, you really have such a good skill, well done. Stone.... only when Liane called out in a trembling voice, did Tai Shu Shi woke up, he immediately stood up, and grabbed Lianes hands and said, Liane, you can stop worrying, I had already promised you that I would definitelye here to save you. Liane had stayed for many years in this ce called Yi Shui Courtyard, so she was able to easily understand the expressions on Tai Shu Shis face, moreover she also came to know from the words of Tai Shu Shi on how to address Ning Cheng, she immediately bowed to Ning Cheng and said, Thank you Big Brother to help Stone to save this Liane. Ta Shu Shis mood was extremely rxed and immediately said, Lets go, it time for us to go out. At this point Jue Jiao once again cried out sweetly from the stage, Congrattions to Liane to be returned to her beloved person, it is the happiest thing for my Yi Shui Courtyard. The next one toe out, is actually the youngest girl from the Yi Shui Courtyard to be put on auction, she is just 18 years of age and is called Liu Han Yu. To get a better understanding of Han Yu, although she is extremely tender and pleasant looking, and even has a three-line Spiritual Root, but the main attracting point is that she even has a primary Spiritual Root. If not for the continued patronage of our guests here at my Yi Shui Courtyards unveiling, we really would not have brought out such an excellent looking girl called Han Yu. The starting price for Han Yu is 2,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones.... Just as Jue Jiao finished speaking, the red curtain behind her once again rolled up, and revealed a woman with short hair. This woman was exactly as Jue Jiao said, tender and pleasant, even her eyes were very alluring, but her face was extremely calm. It really was Liu Han Yu, Ning Cheng darkly sighed in his heart, he did not know when Liu Han Yu had cut her hair, but her eyes showed that she had already resigned herself to die. However, it could also be seen that she also despised those persons who purchased women for their cultivation, once they were purchased by such people, even if they wanted to die they would have to ask for permission from their masters. I bid 2,100 Spirit Stones. Someone immediately bid. I put up 2,200 Spirit Stones. 2,300 Spirit Stones. ...... The price quickly rose to 2,500 Spirit Stones, when Xun Shun coldly nced at Ning Cheng and suddenly said out loud, 3,000 Spirit Stones. Just as Xun Shun said his price out loud, the surrounding people who wanted to bid immediately stopped themselves. 3,100 Spirit Stones. Ning Cheng bid, immediately every person in the room held their breaths. This young man who was carrying a Spear on his back, it seems that he really was not afraid of Xun Shun, he not only not feared him, but was even set on going against him. Xun Shuns face sank, as he suddenly stood up, Boy, just who exactly are you, to even dare to go against this Xun Shun? Do I really have to fight against you? Idiot, just who do you think you are? To look down on everyone. Ning Cheng casually said. He already knew that this Xun Shun would not let him off and would always get in his way, so he might as well thoroughly enrage this fellow. Very good. said Xun Shun after he heard Ning Chengs words, he then actually no longer continued to bid, and sat back down. The inside of the room waspletely silent, many of the people were very clear, it was not that Xun Shun was afraid of Ning Cheng, but because he wanted Ning Cheng dead. He will not haggle with a dead man, even if a dead man obtained many things, he would not be able to carry them off. Xun Shun did not increase the price, plus even the other people did note forward to snatch Liu Han Yu from Ning Cheng. It was then that Liu Han Yu understood that it was Ning Cheng who bought her, and walked towards him, at this moment she was using her hand to cover her mouth, she could not believe that she would be able to see this person again, moreover even use more than 3,000 Spirit Stones to buy her. At this moment, the dead feeling in her eyespletely disappeared without a trace, and was reced by a pleasant and overwhelming surprise. In other peoples eyes, it seemed that Ning Cheng certainly fancied her, and must have bought her to serve him. But for Liu Han Yu it was very clear, Ning Cheng definitely did not fancy her, but rather really only wanted to save her. Although she could not find the reason, as it was only a hunch of hers. Elder Brother Ning, I, I never thought that you woulde to save me. When she was delivered to the side of Ning Chang and Tai Shu Shi, Liu Han Yu still could not believe that this was true. It seems that our meeting was pre-destined. Ning Cheng signalled that Liu Han Yu need not put this affair in her heart. Then he took out the Spirit Stones and finally walked towards the Yi Shui Courtyards auction stage. After Ning Cheng delivered the Spirit Stones, he immediately turned to the trio Tai Shu Shi, Liane and Liu Han Yu and said, We are going. Tai Shu Shi understood the meaning of Ning Cheng and immediately casted a meaningful nce at Liane. Liane and Liu Han Yu had not been in this ce for just a few days, so there was no need for any hints for them, they already understood the situationpletely. Without saying a word, both of them followed Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi out of the room. Xun Shun looked at the four departing figures with a sneer on his face, and also stood up, taking the few women that he had bought, he also quickly followed them out. ...... The four of them ran out of the Xi Jia City, at their top speed that they could muster. But since Liu Han Yu and Lianes cultivation level was not as good as them, so they could not unleash their full speed. After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng stopped. He knew that if Xun Shun wanted to catch up to them, then he estimated that it would be somewhere around here. If it was only the two of them, then they could easily get way, but since Liane and Liu Han Yu were also with them, they would absolutely not be able to walk away from this ce unscathed. The remaining three seeing that Ning Cheng had stopped running also stopped. Tai Shu Shi knew that Xun Shun was a cultivator of the True Condensation Realm, and asked in a somewhat worried manner, Big brother, did that guy already caught up to us, what do we do? Ning Cheng handed Tai Shu Shi a bag and said, Stone, this bag contains the map that would lead you to the Hua Continent plus some Spirit Stones. You take Liane and Liu Han Yu and go ahead first, I wille followter. If within three days, we do not meet, then we would definitely meet each other again in the Hua Continent. When Tai Shu Shi heard the words of Ning Cheng, he immediately knew what Ning Cheng wanted to do, he wanted the three of them to first go ahead, and he would block Xun Shun alone, to let the three of them escape first. How would that be good? If you are going to fight, then let us fight together, whatever may be the oue, plus I am also at Qi Gathering 9th Level. Tai Shu Shi refused without any hesitation. Ning Cheng showed a faint smile and said, I have already killed cultivators of the True Condensation 5th Level, the true cultivation level of this Xun Shun is just a trivial True Condensation 2nd Level, it not that I do not have eyes. You staying here will only dy it a bit longer, you already know why I am doing this, it is to let you escape first, once you guys are able to escape I will follow you back with my fastest speed. When Ning Cheng said that he had already killed a cultivator in the True Condensation 5th Level, it did not make Tai Shu Shi feel surprised. In this Ping and Yuan Continents, True Condensation Cultivators only cultivated iplete Cultivation Methods and moreover they also did not pay any attention to cultivating ones Spiritual Sense, since Ning Cheng cultivated aplete Cultivation Method, so it was quite possible for him to achieve this. Hurry up, I am just a minor figure, you do not need to be worried about me. Ning Cheng said as he patted Tai Shu Shis shoulders. Tai Shu Shis thoughts were very simple, seeing Ning Cheng so confident about himself, he also nodded towards Ning Cheng and handed him something and said, Good, then well go first. Liu Han Yu walked towards Ning Cheng, and had not even begun to speak when she saw the sunlight like smile on Ning Chengs face and heard, Congrattions to Liu Han Yu on leaving Yi Shui Courtyard, and thank you for giving me Spiritual Grass Tea, perhaps I may get another chance to drink such an exquisite tea once again. Liu Han Yu answered, I understand, take care of yourself. With that, she gave a deep bow to Ning Cheng. She certainly understood, Ning Cheng had saved her truly because she had served him the Spiritual Grass Tea, not because he took a fancy towards her. But that Spiritual Grass Tea, really ended bing the most precious thing for her. No one knew this, but that cup of Spiritual Grass Tea that she had given to Ning Cheng, was many more times valuable to her than anything else, perhaps even more than her own life. For her, the most precious thing was actually not the cup of that Spiritual Grass Tea but the memories that it had given her. Chapter 0072 – A Narrow Victory Chapter 72 C A Narrow Victory After Tai Shu Shi and the others went away, Ning Cheng quickly arranged a Killing Array Formation of his own creation with his fastest speed. He had just finished arranging the formation, when Shua a blue coloured airship Type Artefactnded at a ce not far from Ning Cheng, Xun Shun nced in the direction that Tai Shu Shi and the others had already disappeared, as he calmly got down from that airship Artefact, it was obvious that he was not in a hurry and had full confidence in himself. There were also four women in the airship, these were the four women that Xun Shun had purchased previously from Yi Shui Courtyard. As Ning Cheng stared at Xun Shun who was descending from the blue airship, he let out a dark sigh thinking that this guy really was filthy rich, he even owned an airship type Flying Type Artefact. Idiot, but it really is a good idea, for you to try to stop me for a moment, and let the other three go first, ha, ha, ha....... Xun Shun looked at Ning Cheng andughed, but his eyes did not even have a half a hint of a smile in them. In this Xi Jia City, if I, Xun Shun, want to kill somebody, then there has never been an exception.... while speaking, a red glow appeared in his hands as he gripped the red handle of a Flying Sword that he had previously took out in the Yi Shui Courtyard to try and kill him. Ning Cheng just gently shook his body, and the broken Spear fell into his hands. He did not wait for Xun Shun to finish his speech, and said to the four women who were still on the airship, You all have the chance right now, once me and this guy start fighting, Im sure this guy would not have the time to look for you. If you do not want to be a useless cultivation furnace, then walk your own path. When Xun Shun heard this, he was immediately stunned, he did not think that Ning Cheng would not only try to stall him for a moment to let Liu Han Yu and Liane escape, but would also dare to encourage the women he had just bought to try and escape. He looked back at the four women as if he was really interested to see what they would do, and suddenly turned towards Ning Cheng and roared withughter, This father who even let that Tai Shu Shi escape is certain that he would be able to capture him, so why would I even be afraid of you people escaping from my airship? You can first think of how do you want to die, because after this you wont get another chance to pick how you want to die...... Just as Xun Shun finished speaking, he immediately brought up the red Flying Sword in his hands, pointing it towards Ning Cheng, at this point he finally revealed his true cultivation level of True Condensation 2nd Level. Ning Cheng knew that this Xun Shun cannot bepared to the ordinary True Condensation 2nd Level cultivators, it was because that he could sense that this guy also cultivated a nearlyplete Cultivation Method, and seeing the way he was controlling the Flying Swords, he knew that his Spiritual Sense was also not weak. Otherwise he would not be able to control the airship Artefact and pursue him till this point, moreover he was confident that he would be able to catch Tai Shu Shi and that others. Ning Cheng just flicked his hands, and the Spear that was wrapped in the blue cloth was immediately revealed, it was clear that the Artefact in his hands was a broken Spear. But once the Spear was grasped by his hands, it at once brought out a majestic Spear Light. In the midst of the Spear Light and the red Sword Light that had not yet shed together, Ning Cheng once again said, You all can only live if you properly take this opportunity, now that I have given you the opportunity to you all to live again, if you not take this chance, then you fully deserve what happens to you all in your future life. After listening to the words of Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng and Xun Shun saw it themselves, the four women in the airship who were hesitating till now no longer hesitated, they immediately jumped out from the airship, and did not even have enough time to even give out a thanks, when they scattered in all directions, and disappeared from their view in just a short while. When Xun Shun saw that Ning Cheng really was sessful in encouraging the women to escape, he immediately became angry to the point of almost vomiting blood. He was actually not worried that these women would be able to escape from him, but was angry because they were persuaded by a cultivator of the Qi Gathering 9th Level to escape, these idiots actually believed that he would be able to take care of Xun Shun by himself. Since they were bought by Xun Shun, how could they even think of walking away? As his anger surged, the murderous intent in the red Flying Sword immediately became even more sharp as it moved towards Ning Cheng. He wanted to first kill Ning Cheng, and then catch those bitches one by one and let them know what happens to the people who betray Xun Shun. Xun Shun quickly snapped back to reality as he found that his red Sword Light unexpectedly did not break Ning Chengs Spear Light, but rather was stopped short in front of Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng had brought out a total of 12 Spear Lights, when these Spear Lights were brought out, they were arranged neatly in front of him from west to east. However, these 12 Spear Lights quickly formed an ice line, which was invisible to the naked eye, once these icy lines connected with each other they immediately formed a Spear Formation. Finally, when all the 12 Spear Lights were linked together, it turned into an extremely cold Ice Spear Net. Ka Ka Ka Ka ...... After a dense snapping sound that was resounding throughout the area, the red Sword Light curtain waspletely obliterated and could not be seen, only the handle of the Flying Sword was exposed under the ice sheet of the Ice Spear Net, but as for the Ice Spear Net, it was still holding strong. If one had to say why was the sword handle still sticking out, it was because the chill in the centre of the Spear Net was a bit stronger than the other outer areas, and as such could not continue to form the Ice Spear Net outside its range. You actually have a Profound Grade Spear Technique...... Xun Shun immediately understood the situation. What Ning Cheng cultivated was aplete Cultivation Method, so him using his Spiritual Sense was not strange. Since he cultivated aplete Cultivation Method, then even if he was in the Qi Gathering Realm, he could still easily get rid of the Flying Sword of his opponent. Ning Cheng could easily break his Sword Light curtain, and as such had the absolute upper hand in the battle, not because his cultivation was of a higher quality that his opponents, but because he also had a Profound Grade Spear Technique toplement it and bring out his full power. Puff Puff.... several bloody spurts flew out from Xun Shuns body. This Xun Shun did not think even in his wildest dreams that Ning Cheng would have even mastered a Profound Grade Spear Technique, even if he knew about it beforehand, and was able to do everything possible to protect himself, he knew that he would still have been pierced through by several Spear Lights. But at the moment he was not afraid of Ning Cheng, as he took out a pill and threw it into his mouth, then stretched out his tongue and licked the blood that sshed onto his mouth. At this point of time in his eyes appeared a crazy fire, hepletely forgot about the four women that had escaped. No woman could be more important than a Profound Grade Technique, what he wanted the most was the Profound Grade Spear Technique that was on Ning Chengs body. Xun Shun did not continue to use his Flying Sword again, but rather pped his Storage Bag that was hung at his waist, immediately some old looking copper coins appeared in his hands. Die for me. Xun Shuns mouth curled into a sneer, as he brought up those old looking copper coins as if he was offering it to someone. These old looking copper coins immediately erged to the size of a dustpan with a square shaped hole in their centre, the next moment, it seemed that the air that was passing through the square shaped holes seemed to have stagnated. Ning Cheng felt his own hand sink, the broken Spear in his hands suddenly felt extremely heavy. Ning Cheng immediately knew, that it was because of the old looking copper coins that Xun Shun had taken out. He forcibly gathered the Qi in his body, and wanted to once again send out an attack using the 36 Ice Spear Technique. But just as he gathered his Qi to execute the 36 Ice Spears Technique, he immediately felt both his hands go numb, his hands unexpectedly could not hold the broken Spear, and he was immediately pushed away by a powerful force that surrounded him. The next moment, he saw that his Spear directly flew through the square hole in the centre of one of the old looking copper coins. When the Spear left his hands, he found that the heavy feeling in his hands also instantly vanished. Xun Shun immediately chuckled, and once again brought up his Flying Sword and shot out three Sword Lights. Two of the Sword Lightpletely sealed up Ning Chengs route of escape, while the third Sword Light was aimed at Ning Chengs waist, it was clear that he wanted to slice Ning Cheng into two. The Sword Light was extremely fast, plus now that he had lost his Spear, Ning Cheng did not have any room to block it, at this time what Ning Cheng wanted the most was a defensive weapon. If there was defensive weapon on him, he would not have to fear this Sword Light from his opponent, so he could only choose to rush towards him. Looking at Xun Shun, hisplexion was extremely pale, even the Flying Sword in his hands was trembling, it was obvious that those old looking copper coins needed a lot of his True Essence to control them. Seeing the Sword Light aimed at his waist, Ning Cheng swung his hands as if it were an axe. When the Axe Fist hit the Sword Light, it stopped it for a moment, and resulted in most of its power dissipating and it also eased up the pressure on Ning Cheng, but it still struck on Ning Chengs waist. Xun Shun secretly sighed in relief, he definitely did not want Ning Cheng to die so quickly, but Ning Chengs fierceness was somethingpletely unexpected to him. Now that he was facing his Sword Light, even if his opponent was more ruthless than him, his only fate was to be cut down in the middle. Swoosh a sound of leather being struck could be heard, as Ning Cheng sprayed out a mouthful of blood, but abruptly did not retreat. Xun Shun looked at the still intact Ning Cheng, and could see the exposed armour that was revealed on Ning Chengs waist, he immediately knew what had happened. Even if the Qi in his body was almost exhausted, he still once more gathered the rest of Qi and sent out another Sword Light, he wanted to strike at Ning Cheng once again. Ning Cheng grabbed the broken Spear that was swept away, while simultaneously used his 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique. But his 7 Pleiades Ice Needle was not aimed at his opponents iing Sword Light, but rather it was aimed at his opponent with the intent of splitting him. He had never met this kind of situation before, but he could see that his opponentsbat experience was not very rich. Now that he knew that those old looking copper coins were the ones that were responsible for separating him from his Spear, how could Ning Cheng wait for his opponent to use it once more. While this Xun Shun had sent out the Sword Light from his Flying Sword, at the same time his 7 Pleiades Ice Needle had already crossed the distance between the two of them. Only when the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle prated into his chest, did Xun Shun came to know that he was assassinated, and immediately called out in horror, How could this be, why didnt my Five Treasure Fall Copper Coins not sweep away this Artefact....... A powerful destructive force was wreaking havoc in his body, Xun Shun came to understand, that if he did not get help immediately he would definitely die here. A bright red light emerged from his body, this light was like that of a meteor, as it shot out from Xun Shuns hand. Whats going on? Xun Shun cried out as he saw the bright red light that he had shot out to call for reinforcements hadpletely turned around just when it had only travelled 30 feet. Ning Cheng immediately made the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle in his body to twist savagely, as Xun Shuns eyes immediately lost their lustre, he was still not willing to die as he kept staring at Ning Cheng, he really could not figure out how could he die by the hands of a mere Qi Gathering kid. I am also an Array Formations Master, before you came in, I arranged a small scale Killing Array Formation, to stop shameless people like you to call for help, idiot. Ning Cheng spoke as he sted a punch out. Xun Shun was directly blow away by the force of Ning Chengs punch, but this time when he fell down, he was already a corpse. The bright red light that was blocked by the Array Formation, also stopped and dissipated in an instant. Chapter 0073 – Advancing to True Condensation In A Small Town Chapter 0073 C Advancing to True Condensation In A Small Town Ning Cheng with his fastest speed put away everything, even the airship Type Artefact that Xun Shun came in was directly put in his Storage Bag, after collecting all the things he quickly left. Originally Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi were supposed to meet up with each other in three days, as he was worried that this Xun Shun would definitely call for reinforcements. If the reinforcements that he called for were too strong, he had even nned to temporarily escape to the Daan Forest. Now that Xun Shun had already been killed by him, and even the SOS signal that he had sent out was blocked, it gave a bit of relief to Ning Cheng. Since he and Tai Shu Shi and the others have not been separated for a long time, so he thought that he should be able to catch up with them. However, after two hours, Ning Cheng stopped, he felt that something was wrong. He was obviously chasing the traces Tai Shu Shi left behind, but aftering here, he could not even find a single trace. Ning Cheng tried to find the traces of Tai Shu Shi all around, but even after looking carefully he could not even find half a clue as to his whereabouts. After quite a while of searching, Ning Cheng finally left that ce, he decided to wait for them near the edges of the Thunder Fall Desert. He had already given the map to Tai Shu Shi, and he also knew that to go to the Hua Continent, Tai Shu Shi would have to go through the Thunder Fall Desert, and so would definitely pass through one of the entrances marked on the map. ...... From the Yuan Continent to the Hua Continent, whether by flying or by walking, one must go through the Thunder Fall Desert. On the outskirts of the Thunder Fall Desert, there were actually three small towns, Thunder Fall Town, Moon Sand Town and Firefly Town. Of these three towns, the liveliest and thergest was the Thunder Fall Town. Every year there were countess cultivators arriving here from the Thunder Fall Desert. Besides the handful of people whoe to the Thunder Fall Desert to look for treasures, most of the people heree to this town to pass through the Thunder Fall Desert to go to the Hua Continent. But it was quite a well-known fact, that the number of people who can sessfully cross the Thunder Fall Desert and enter the Hua Continent were truly very few. As many people would end up dying in the Thunder Fall Desert, as a result since a long time, this Thunder Fall Desert was also called by another name, the Bone Desert. Because once you went inside the desert, you could see the dense quantities of bones of the dead cultivators scattered around. The number of cultivators who died here were simply too many. Even then, the number of people entering the Thunder Fall Desert never decreased, and arrived wave after wave. Ning Cheng had the simple map that he had obtained from Kou Hong, so he did not enter the Thunder Fall Town, but rather entered the Moon Sand Town. This Moon Sand town,pared to the other two towns on the edges of the Thunder Fall Desert, had fewer resources and was far from the bustling atmosphere in the Thunder Fall Town. Ning Cheng who was rushing with all his might, in one month arrived outside the Moon Sand Town. In this entire month, he never took out the things that he had obtained from the ck robed Xun Shun from his Storage Bag to check them out. The main reason for that was of course to arrive at Moon Sand Town as early as possible, once he arrived at the Moon Sand Town, he could then wait patiently for Tai Shu Shi, if there was any problem, then he could easily run into the Thunder Fall Desert at the first sign of trouble. Mixing himself with some wary adventurers that had also just arrived, Ning Cheng finally stepped into the Moon Sand Town just as the sun started to set. Compared to the liveliness of Thunder Fall Town, Moon Sand Town looked somewhat deste. Ning Cheng was certain that with his speed, he would definitely have arrived here earlier than Tai Shu Shi. All he had to do now was to wait for Tai Shu Shi in Moon Sad Town, and while waiting for him he could even refine the two Artefacts that he had obtained from before, while simultaneously preparing to advance to the True Condensation Realm. Whether it was those old copper coins, or that piece of airship Type Artefact both of them were really good items, and it made Ning Cheng to very much look forward to refining them, rtively speaking, he actually did not care much of the red Flying Sword. There were very few pedestrians on the streets of Moon Sand Town and even themunication between them was very sparse. Ning Cheng found a small unassuming ce to rest, such type of unassuming dwellings wasmon for cultivators in this town, moreover such kinds of rest stops were verymon in the Moon Sand Town. These cultivators would generally go out for several months for a trip and once they came back they would choose to seclude themselves, only when their resources for their cultivation were exhausted, would they once again leave Moon Sand Town. This went on again and again, until the day that they die. The resources for cultivation in the Thunder Fall Desert were very few, and not everyone could undertake the task to go out searching for them. Although they knew of this, many cultivators would still choose this life, also because they did not have any other choice. Ning Cheng was looking with some interest at his rest stop, it was called the Moon River, in this Moon Sand Town, this type of building like Moon River was something verymon and would not attract any attention. Moreover, in this building, there were only a few scattered cultivators who looked very deadbeat. Ning Cheng did not care much about it, after he entered his room, he immediately put up closed sign on the door, while he arranged several Array Formations inside the room, there were Concealment Array Formations, Defensive Array Formations....... Once all the Array Formations werepleted, Ning Cheng first took out the old copper coins. These old copper coins had pulled away his Spear during his battle, which immediately surprised Ning Cheng. If he did not have the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle and the inner armour, then perhaps he would have been killed by Xun Shun. This was mainly because his opponentcked experience, but these old copper coins gave him a huge headache. Refining these old copper coins was very difficult, and Ning Cheng almost took up 10 days just for that, it was only when he sessfully refined the Restriction on one of the coins, did hee to understand why Xun Shun had to expunge so much strength and Qi to try and control this Artefact. That Xun Shun was only a cultivator at the True Condensation 2nd Level and coupled with his limited Spiritual Sense, it ended up extremely difficult for him to control it. These old copper coins were called the Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coins. It was no wonder that his Spear was taken away by these copper coins, it turned out that this Artefact had a special magic imbued in it which can pull away other Artefacts, this Artefact really went against the heavens. Unfortunately, these old copper coins had a fatal w, it was that it could only snatch the Artefact that were constructed using the five elements. The 7 Pleiades Ice Needle was refined from the stingers of Shadow Bees, and as such did not fall in the category of the five elements, as such these copper coins could not snatch them. In any case, this was really a treasure, moreover it was a great treasure that he could use. As for the Restrictions on the rest of them, Ning Cheng did not continue to refine it, he nned to re-refine itter when he had the free time. Compared to the Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coins, the airship Type Artefact that he had acquired from Xun Shun was much easier to refine, Ning Cheng had only spent half a day to refine it, he not only refined this airship Type Artefact, but at the same time he also acquired the knowledge on how to operate the airship on his own. As for the red Flying Sword, after just refining it for a bit, he threw it into his Storage Bag, he did not like Flying Swords much. Then Ning Cheng finally took out the Storage Bag that he had taken from the ck robed Xun Shun. Back in the Yi Shui Courtyard, this Xun Shun was extremely generous, so Ning Cheng was rather looking forward to the contents in his Storage Bag. Ning Cheng did not have to spend much time in lifting the Restrictions on the Storage Bag, but when he swept the Storage Bag with his Spiritual Sense, he immediately became disappointed. Going by the way that Xun Shun spent his Spirit Stones, Ning Cheng thought that he would at least have 30-40 thousand Spirit Stones in his Storage Bag, but in fact, his Storage Bag only had about 10,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones. If this man had bought Liu Han Yu and Liane, then he would then only have about 2,000 Spirit Stones left with him. But in this Storage Bag there were actually several jade bottles filled with pills, and even more Jade Pieces. Ning Cheng took out one of the Jade Pieces, and swept through it with his Spiritual Sense, it was exactly how he had guessed. These Jade Pieces recorded information on how to use the cultivation of women as their own. Thus from this it could be seen, that Xun Shuns master was also not a good person. Sweeping through the rest of the Jade Pieces, Ning Cheng found that they were all of the same type. So Ning Cheng felt disgusted with them and immediately burned them with his Fireball Technique, since he was from Earth, he could note to ept such methods that existed in this world. After obtaining the 10,000 Spirit Stones and coupled with his own 12 Thousand Spirit Stones that he had on him, Ning Cheng decided to finally attack the True Condensation Realm. Once he advances to the True Condensation Realm, he would then go out to look for Tai Shu Shi in the Moon Sand Town. After the Spirit Stones were changed into powder by the usage of Ning Cheng, most of the dissipating aura from the Spirit Stones was blocked by the Array Formations that he had set up previously, although there was a part of the aura that the Array Formations could not block off. However, for the cultivators staying in this rest stop, this cirction of the Spiritual Qi, was not something that they would feel strange about. One monthter, Ning Cheng finally exited his room and went out to purchase some food before returning back to his room again. At this time, he was already at the peak of the Qi Gathering 9th Level, and was ready to finally advance to the True Condensation Realm. Taking out the True Condensation Pill, Ning Cheng could feel that the entire Qi in his body immediately turned restless, Ning Cheng knew that he was finally truly ready to start the process to advance to the True Condensation Realm. Not feeling hurried in his heart, he started to slowly operate his Cultivation Method and started to transform the Qi in his body into True Essence. With hisplete Cultivation Method, and his cultivation level of peak stage Qi Gathering 9th Level, the Qi in his body in just a short while started to show signs of transforming into True Essence. Now with the help of the True Condensation Pill, which helped in starting the transformation of his Qi, he did not face much difficulty. During the time Ning Cheng spent in close door cultivation, the piles of Spirit Stones stacked next to him were growing smaller and smaller. He did not know how long he had been sitting like that, but Ning Cheng felt that the Meridians through which his Qi, which was transforming crazily into True Essence, flowed was continuously sending out intermittent Ka Ka Ka sounds. At this moment, all the Meridians in his body expanded to double their sizes almost instantly. Hu, Ning Cheng took a long breath, and suddenly stood up. Is this really True Condensation Realm? Ning Cheng had just advanced to the True Condensation Realm, when he felt that his body now was several times much more powerful than when he was in Qi Gathering 9th Level, he could not help but exim out in amazement. Before when he had not yet advanced to the True Condensation Realm, he always thought that the True Condensation Realm was just so so. After all, even when he was at the Qi Gathering 9th Level he could kill cultivators in the Middle Stages of True Condensation Realm, albeit with a little bit of difficulty, but now that he had finally advanced to the True Condensation Realm, he found that the True Condensation Realm and the Qi Gathering Realm really had too many differences. The reason why he was able to kill cultivators in the True Condensation Realm till now, was simply because he had never met a real cultivator of the True Condensation Realm. If he had met with a real cultivator of the True Condensation Realm, how could he who was only in the Qi Gathering Realm match up to them? The formidable True Essence that they possess was basically not something a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator would be able to match up to. Calcting the time, he had been staying in Moon Sand Town for nearly 2 months, since did not find any news of Tai Shu Shi during this time. Ning Cheng decided to not wait any longer, he would have to enter the Thunder Fall Desert alone and make his way to the Hua Continent. Ning Cheng cleaned himself up, and got out of his room in the rest stop, he was prepared to leave behind some traces of him on the outside of Moon Sand Town. After Tai Shu Shi arrived at the Moon Sand Town, he would know that he had been here. Ning Cheng had just got out of the small town, when he saw a bunch of people near the entrance of the small town, these people looked like they were having a heated discussion with each other. Because Ning Cheng had a bit of curious nature so he squeezed his way in, there he found that there was a huge sign board outside the town with a notice posted on it. There was huge portrait on the notice board, surprisingly it was his portrait, it also showed him to be carrying a long Spear on his back. The content of the notice was very clear, if anyone had any news regarding the person in the portrait then they had to report it immediately. Just the remuneration of reporting his sighting had a reward of 10,000 Spirit Stones and if it led to him being caught then they could receive a reward of 100,000 Spirit Stones, regardless of if he was dead or alive. Looking at his own arrest warrant, Ning Cheng sneered in his heart. He had been in this Moon Sand Town for a long time, so if they wanted to catch him, then they could only dream about it. Hey, isnt that him, the person on the arrest warrant. At this point someone immediately found out Ning Cheng and eximed immediately. Because of this cry, the surrounding people discovered that the person on the wanted poster was unexpectedly standing amongst them. Some cultivators even took out their Artefacts, but they did not dare to rush out and capture Ning Cheng. The imposing aura that they felt from Ning Cheng made them feel that they really were not a match for Ning Cheng, if they forcefully came forward then the only thing that awaited them was death. Spirit Stones were good, but one needed to have a life to enjoy them. Ning Cheng took out a Flying Sword, and after stepping on it, he did not fly away immediately, instead he said in a clear and resonant voice, Go and tell that guy who issued the arrest warrant, that it was me who killed Xun Shun, I will be back after a few years. But I will definitelye back to kill him. With that, Ning Cheng under the watchful eyes of the public, with just a sword sh disappeared from their eyes without a trace, while no one dared to pursue him. Chapter 0074 – Thunder Fall Desert Chapter 0074 C Thunder Fall Desert In less than an hour, Ning Cheng arrived at the edges of the Thunder Fall Desert, in front of his eyes was dark yellow misty world stretching out for as long as his eyes could see, it was somewhat simr to the world inside the Mysterious Yellow Bead, especially because of the yellow misty like fog that hung over the desert, because of which he could not clearly see in front of him. At the edge of the desert, where he was standing, there was a huge boulder, this huge boulder had a simple map carved on it which showed the locations of the various entrances to the desert. Ning Cheng did not hesitate for a single bit, and riding the Flying Sword, flew past the giant boulder into the desert. After the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, Ning Cheng found that he had to get down from the Flying Sword in order to proceed forward. Even if he already had the cultivation of True Condensation Realm, because of the violent sand storms in the Thunder Fall Desert, he could not properly control his flight on his Flying Sword. Simrly, he could also not make out the specific markings that he had seen in the map of the Thunder Fall Desert while flying. Ning Cheng put away the Flying Sword, but on the contrary his speed actually increased when he travelled by foot. Although he had announced before in the Moon Sand Town to convey the message to the person who issued the arrest warrant that he would be back to kill him, but he knew that he was still far from being a match for that person, so the quicker he could escape the better it would be for him. Three dayster, Ning Cheng finally found the second marking from the simple map that he possessed, it was withered por tree. Ning Cheng sat down among the withered up roots of the por tree, after running nonstop for three continuous days in the desert, he was feeling a little tired. Just as Ning Cheng sat down, he heard an extremely frightening howl, which made Ning Cheng immediately stand up. A yellow dragon that was entirely made up of fine sand was rushing towards him at a very fast speed. Ning Cheng did not even have the room to try and counter, when he was directly swept up by this yellow dragon, and was simultaneously carried away by it as it flew away. At this moment Ning Cheng could only utter a dark sigh in his heart towards this crazy turn of events, if it had been an ordinary person, they would have been smashed to pieces by just the charge of this yellow sand dragon. Ning Cheng soon felt that something was not right, this sand dragon was just like a tornado, after he had been swallowed by the sand dragon, he could feel that this sand dragon going in a particr direction. The reason why he felt that something was not right, was because Ning Cheng was already a cultivator at True Condensation 1st Level, a cultivator at the True Condensation 1st Level should not be someone who would be swept away by the sand blowing about in the desert, right? With the sand piling around his feet more and more, constricting his legs, Ning Cheng started to feel a bad feeling in his heart which was growing heavier and heavier with each passing moment. He had a gut feeling, that if in the end he could not break free from these sand shackles then he would definitely be transported to a ce that would really be unpleasant to him. Thinking of that, the anxiety in Ning Chengs heart grew to a huge extent, as he punched out with his fist. This fist contained the insights of the Killing Intent of the Great Axe that he had encountered in the Daan Forest, but since he did not have a Great Axe on him, he could only use thisprehension of its aura with only his fists. But it turned out, that when he used his Axe Fist, the effect seemed to be quite good. Bang a sound emerged as his fist collided with the leather like skin of the mouth of the sand dragon, Ning Cheng directly blew open the sand dragons mouth, Ning Cheng did not think and immediately shot out of the mouth of the sand dragon like an arrow. The next moment, the yellow sand dragon had already gone far away while roaring continuously. When Ning Cheng looked down, he found that other than the dragon hide armour that he had received from the old woman back in Nan Yuan City, the rest of his clothes had already disappeared, there were even numerous scratches on his body that he had received from the fine sand. Amazing. Ning Cheng eximed out, as he quickly took out another set of cloths to put on. This Thunder Fall Desert even contained something like this sand dragon, if he failed toe out of this sand dragon, then what would have the result been? At this time the sand dragon had already long since disappeared, but Ning Cheng found that he had lost his bearings. Ning Cheng looked in all four directions, trying to find the direction in which the withered por tree was, but feeling something under his feet, he subconsciously jumped up. The ce where he was just standing a moment ago had turned into a giant sand whirlpool, the sand all around it was pouring into this whirlpool, forming a funnel shape. A powerful suction force was being transmitted from this whirlpool, this powerful suction force had appeared very suddenly, and Ning Cheng was almost sucked into this funnel shaped whirlpool. Ning Cheng forcefully operated the True Essence in his body, and mounting his Flying Sword once again, he immediately rushed out of the whirlpool. After a few breaths time, Ning Cheng finallynded on the sand, watching the terrible whirlpool from a huge distance away, for the first time he felt the fearful nature of the Thunder Fall Desert. If he was sucked into this whirlpool, even if he did not lose his life, who knows what was inside this whirlpool? It seems that he had to find aplete map of this ce before he wanted to walk around in here, otherwise trying to get out of this Thunder Dessert would only be a dream for him. Even though he was walking on the safe line that was marked on the map that he had on him of this desert, he still met several dangerous situations over the past several days. Now that he had deviated from the original safe path of the map, the danger level had increased several times over. If that sand dragon had not carried him off, he would not have deviated from his original route. Now Ning Cheng walked even more carefully, at the moment he could not go look for a way to reach the Hua Continent, but wanted to seek out the original path that he was walking before. After five days passed by, Ning Cheng encountered more than dozens of simr sand whirlpools, but he managed to escape from every one of them. Fortunately, he did not meet any creatures like the sand dragon from before. Ning Cheng knew that he could not go on like this, if he continued like this, then sooner orter he would end up dying in this Thunder Fall Dessert. He stopped for a while, although he could not refine a Directional te at the moment, but he was actually able to make a simplepass. Ning Cheng had just taken out the simplepass that he had made, when a fishy smell assaulted Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng immediately grabbed the broken Spear on his back, this fishy smell was definitely from a Monstrous Beast. He knew that there were many Monstrous Beasts in this Thunder Fall Desert, moreover these Monstrous Beast always travelled in groups, and if one was surrounded by them, then trying to get away from them would be really difficult. Sure enough, just as Ning Cheng grabbed the broken Spear in his hands, when a Scrape Scrape like grinding sound was transmitted through the sand. When Ning Cheng saw the Monstrous Beastsing towards him, he almost froze up. There were innumerable number of Monstrous Beasts rushing towards him. These Monstrous Beasts were crowded too densely, one simply could not see the end of it. Moreover, these Monstrous Beast that were rushing towards him, were not just running on the ground, there were even many aerial type Monstrous Beasts flying towards him in the air too. Ning Cheng could even feel from the vibrations from the ground beneath his feet that there were also an equal number of Monstrous Beasts rushing towards him underground. All these Monstrous Beast that were rushing towards him had many big and small pustules all over their faces, some of these pustules were even a foot long, they had sharp teeth which were dripping with a cloudy looking mucus, and made them look extremely ugly. After these Monstrous Beasts saw Ning Cheng, they immediately flocked towards him, this made Ning Chengs scalp tingle, he had never in his life seen such a disgusting and frightening scene. At this moment he did not dare to hesitate, bringing up the broken Spear in his hands he immediately releases one Spear Shadow after another, these Spear Shadows immediately formed a Spear Net, and managed to block out those ugly Monstrous Beast just outside the Spear Net. If he had to fight just one of these Monstrous Beasts then he would be able to easily gain an advantage over them with his strength, but if had to fight it out with all these Monstrous Beasts together then it may not even be possible for him to do so even with his most formidable strength, he had to think of a way out of this situation. A bloody mist spread out in front of the Spear Net, the top of the head of a Monstrous Beast could be seen clearly as Ning Cheng immediately swept out a Spear Light with the intention to kill it. Ning Cheng could clearly see that just as this Monstrous Beast was split into two halves, it was instantly eaten up by the surrounding Monstrous Beasts, while the rest of the Monstrous Beast still flooded towards him, it seems that these Monstrous Beasts simply did not know the meaning of death. The cultivation level of these Monstrous Beasts were not high, but the quantity of these Monstrous Beasts were simply too much. Groups after groups of these Monstrous Beasts were killed by Ning Cheng, but even then arge number of groups swarmed towards Ning Cheng. Not only that, these Monstrous Beast from the sand were also giving out an extremely nauseating smell. When Ning Cheng took a whiff of this smell, he instantly started to feel ufortable, but under the agitation of his True Essence, this ufortable feeling soon disappeared without a trace. After fighting for a full day, Ning Cheng had already ughtered innumerable quantities of these Monstrous Beasts. His 36 Ice Spear Technique also improved by leaps and bounds, now he could continuously shoot out 13 Spear Shadows, 14 Spear Shadows...... finally he improved the technique to the point that he could simultaneously shoot out 21 of those Ice Spear Shadows. Unfortunately, even if he improved his skill with the Spear Technique, the Qi required for Spear Technique was also growing more and more, he simply could not keep up with the rate of his consumption of his True Essence. He did not know how many of these Monstrous Beasts he had killed till now, but this swarm of Monstrous Beasts did not show any signs in reduction in size, rather there were more and more Monstrous Beasts joining in. Despair was rising in the heart of Ning Cheng, if he had known about this, then he might as well have chosen to be swept away by that sand dragon. The situation in front of him was something really terrible, he simply had no way to get away. Whether it was by air, or on the surface of the sand or under the sand, the number of Monstrous Beasts were simply inexhaustible. Just when Ning Cheng was thinking of a way to use the Mysterious Yellow Bead to help out with the situation at present, the endless sand Monstrous Beasts suddenly abandoned attacking Ning Cheng, but rather crazily started to escape from the side of Ning Cheng, and in just a short while, this dense horde of Monstrous Beasts had disappeared from his view. If not for the sand underneath him that had been dyed a dark red colour from the blood of the ughtered Monstrous Beasts, Ning Cheng would have definitely sworn that the scene just now was an illusion. My luck isnt that good right? Ning Cheng could not believe it himself, he was sure that he was about to be killed by those sand type Monstrous Beasts, but then these sandy Monstrous Beasts suddenly and inexplicably retreated, if this was not one having good luck, then just what the hell was this? Chapter 0075 – The King In The Desert Chapter 0075 C The King In The Desert Ning Cheng would never believe that his luck really was that good. He was not clear about what was going on, but then he heard an exploding sounding from somewhere above his head, it was immediately followed by a thick lightning bolt that fell to the ground. This thick lightning bolt fell in a ce that was not far from where Ning Cheng was standing, when the lightning bolt struck the sand, it was instantly vaporised into nothingness, the vacuum created by it immediately birthed a giant whirlpool. The surrounding sand immediately fell into this giant whirlpool, allowing this whirlpool to getrger andrger. From this whirlpool emerged a formidable suction force, which even Ning Cheng could feel from a distance. Ning Cheng, at this moment, immediately came to understand that those sand Monstrous Beasts had run away because they knew that this kind of lightening was going to fall, so fearful for their life, they finally escaped, once the lightning fell on those Monstrous Beasts, there was simply no need to ask what would have happened, even he imagined that those Monstrous Beasts would definitely be vaporised into nothingness just like the sand. At this moment Ning Cheng knew that if he continued to stand in this ce it would be really bad for him, so he immediately rushed out, and even followed the same direction that those Monstrous Beasts escaped in. Just as Ning Cheng left the ce he was standing in, a huge lightning bolt as thick as his thighs fell in the same exact spot, immediately the sand around the impact area waspletely disintegrated into an extremely fine powder. This created another giant whirlpool which connected with the previous whirlpool, immediately increasing its size. With that kind of formidable power that was emanating from the lightning strikes, not to mention a cultivator in the True Condensation Realm, even if it was a cultivator in the Essence Building Realm, if they were struck by even one of those lightning bolts, then the only oue for them would be death. Ning Cheng immediately increased his speed to the maximum possible limit, as he rushed forward in a straight line along the yellow sands. When the third lightning strike stuck, it was very close to Ning Chengs feet, although Ning Cheng was able to get away from it in time, but the aftermath that the lightning strike brought instantly shredded his clothes into thin strips. As the third lightning strike struck the sand just below his feet, he found that the lightning was getting more and more intense, moreover it seemed to be getting even more difficult for him to evade them. Ning Cheng, while fleeing, finally understood something about these lightening, although the impact area of these lightening was huge, but they always moved in a straight line. This time Ning Cheng no longer fled along the same route that he was running on, but rather slightly changed his direction. Boom Boom sounds were unceasingly ringing behind Ning Cheng, although Ning Cheng was able to escape from those lightening, but he was not able to fully escape those sand whirlpools formed by it. Fortunately, Ning Cheng had prior experience in dealing with those sand whirlpools, although they were a bit unexpected, but they were not able to suck him inside. What truly made him afraid was the terrible lightning strikes behind him. After running for almost a full day, the rumblings of thunder behind him was getting smaller and smaller, and finallypletely disappeared along a different direction. Ning Cheng finally stopped, as he continuously took inrge mouthfuls of air and said to himself, So this is the so called lightening that falls in this dessert, the most horrifying thing in this dessert are actually those lightning strikes. Ning Cheng had just started to rx, when he heard an extremely loud howl and a whistling noise, and immediately a white light was visible to himing from the distant horizon. Someone? Ning Cheng quickly determined that this loud howl was actually artificial. At this time, he had once again lost his bearings because of those lightning strikes, so what he really wanted the most was to meet other people, he was afraid that he would miss this person, so he immediately hurried towards the white light. After half an hour, Ning Cheng finally appeared at the periphery of this ce, and immediately determined that there really was a human settlement here. Not only was there humans here, but there even were several buildings simr to a yurt constructed here. Besides these yurts, there was even a vast swath of green vegetation, there was even a clearke in it. There were several guards protecting these temporary housings, when Ning Cheng looked them, he found that the cultivations of these guards were really poor, in fact most of them were only ordinary people, who did not emit any Qi fluctuations. At best, they only looked tough and only had a small amount of Killing Intent around them. It is already extremely dangerous here, how did these people even get here? Ning Cheng was very surprised in his heart. In this ce, even with his cultivation it was very difficult for him, he could be swallowed by the dessert anytime and anywhere, and yet he found that these guards staying here who did not even have any cultivation. Ning Cheng rubbed his eyes, and almost thought that he had seen it wrong. Ning Cheng decided to have a look, in the shortest possible time, discarded the shredded clothes on him, cleaned his dust covered body, and put on a set of clean cloths, he once again put the broken Spear on his back. Then slowly moved towards the closest yurt, while simultaneously concealing his cultivation to make it look like he was at Qi Gathering 7th Level. Although these peoples cultivation levels were not high, there were even people who did not cultivate, he just did not want to disy too much of his power. Ning Cheng had just approached the nearest yurt, when two soldiers who were patrolling noticed Ning Cheng, and immediately walked towards him. Excuse me, my two friends, I have be lost here, and am very thirsty and hungry, could I borrow a bed from you for a short while. Ning Cheng did not wait for the two guard to approach him, and immediately walked over to them and spoke in a polite way while sping his fist. These two people looked at Ning Cheng from head to toe, while thinking of how Ning Cheng did not seem to look like he was very thirsty or hungry. On the contrary, it looked more like Ning Cheng was a next door neighbour who dropped by for a visit. One of the two soldiers gave a meaningful wink to the other soldier, when the other soldier saw the wink, he quickly turned around and walked back. After the other person left, the remaining soldier said to Ning Cheng, Please stay here for a while, this is the dwelling ce of our King Wang Nian, we must have to first report this matter before saying anything. Ning Cheng had already noticed the look in the soldiers eyes, he immediately came to know that the opposite party was not someone simple. He casually relied, Oh, in that case, Ill go look for some other ce to rest. With that, Ning Cheng turned around to leave. When this soldier saw that Ning Cheng was leaving, he quickly arrived in front of Ning Cheng and stopped him and said, My friend please stop, before we are able to clear up your background, you cannot leave here. Ning Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, Why, its not like I cant find a ce for myself? But when I came by here, you people did not even give me water to drink, do you think that I came to rob you? This soldier who had stopped Ning Cheng was just about to speak, when a deep voice could be heard, King Wang says, that now that you havee here, why dont you juste in. When Ning Cheng heard this voice, he knew that this speaker must at least be a cultivator at the True Condensation 3rd Level, it indicated that this yurt like building to appear here, was not a simple thing. Yes. The soldier gave a reverent cry before turning to Ning Cheng and said in a very polite manner, My friend,e, follow me. Lead the way. Ning Cheng originally did not intend to go inside, but he really wanted to inquire about the route. If he could not find anything about the correct route, then he was very likely to die in this Thunder Fall Dessert. These people dared to arrange so many temporary yurts, moreover there was even a desert oasis here, so the possibility of this being the correct route was more than 90%. This kind of opportunity, how could Ning Cheng pass it up? Entering the range of the yurts, Ning Cheng discovered that these yurts were arranged in a unique orientation, forming a Defensive Array Formation, which happened to encircle the oasis in the middle. Just next to the oasis, there was a particrlyrge yurt. The soldier led Ning Cheng to the front of thisrge yurt, and said, Since our King Wang has summoned you, you can go in. Ning Cheng used his Spiritual Sense to sweep around the surroundings, and found that there were no abnormalities, before gradually entered the yurt. This particr yurt was veryrge, Ning Cheng felt that he had entered arge hall, there was at least several hundred square meters of area inside. Sitting at the highest seat was a long haired barefooted girl, this girl looked very beautiful but looked extremely weak, the only ufortable thing that Ning Cheng felt was that her pupils were in a triangle shape, which made her beautiful face look somewhat disproportionate. In Ning Chengs view, she did not seem to possess any Qi fluctuations, so he could safely assume that she did not cultivate. But even if that was the case, this girl gave Ning Cheng a strange feeling. On the two sides of this girl, there was a man and a woman standing, the woman had a rough face, but when Ning Cheng nced at her he was surprised that this woman had the cultivation of peak Qi Gathering 9th Level. On the other hand, the man looked very delicate and had fair skin, and looked like a toy boy, but his cultivation level was already at True Condensation 3rd Level. Going down, on both sides there were two rows of four soldiers each, and all of them had the cultivation level of at least early Qi Gathering 9th Level. In addition, in the corner of the hall there were three cultivators hanging from a rope, two men and a woman. This made Ning Cheng surprised, the three cultivators had the cultivation of True Condensation Realm, but the three of them did not even have the capacity to resist, as they hung there with their heads down, he could sense that the flow of True Essence in their bodies had be extremely sluggish. There were several soldiers standing beside them with a whip in their hand, from the scars on their bodies it could be seen that the wounds were inflicted on them by those soldiers. The most miserable was the female cultivator, although she was at the True Condensation 2nd Level, her clothes were already shredded revealing the fair skin beneath it. But even this fair skin was scarred again and again, the fair skin could only faintly be seen from these scars. These three people apparently still had a breath of life in them, when they heard the sound of Ning Cheng arriving, they immediately lifted their heads, and looked at Ning Cheng in a puzzled way. An extremely peculiar smell was spreading from them, when Ning Cheng took a whiff of this scent he immediately felt a bit strange, it was simr to the scent that he had smelled from the Monstrous Beasts that he had fought before, these two odours were somewhat simr. This smell made him extremely ufortable, but fortunately circting the True Essence in his body, this ufortable feeling instantly dissipated. My lord, this person trespassed into our King Wang Nians sanctuary. The soldier who had brought Ning Cheng here immediately stepped forward and said while kneeling. This girl who was called as the lord just waved her hand and said, I know, you can go. Once the soldier went out, this girl looked at Ning Cheng from top to bottom but could not even detect a shred of tension in him, Ning Chengs cloths were very clean and was carrying a Spear wrapped in cloth behind him, and looked like he had actuallye here for a walk, he did not seem the slightest bit ufortable. This girl frowned and said in a slow voice, Who are you? For what reason did you charge into my North Jue Encampment. North Jue? Ning Cheng did not know where this ce called North Jue was, he had onlye here to ask about the correct route that led to the Hua Continent, so he hastily bowed his head and cupped his fists in front of him and said, My name is Ning Xiao Cheng, I was just passing through here, I really hope that me rushing through here might not have caused any misunderstandings. The woman standing next to the girl, who had the cultivation of peak Qi Gathering 9th Level, suddenly shouted angrily at Ning Cheng, You animal, speaking to the King in front of you and still not on your knees. Ning Chengs face sank, he hade here to find the right route, not to beg for mercy. Inside Ning Chengs dictionary, there was no such thing as begging for mercy. Ning Cheng suddenly proceeded to take a few steps forward, all the people were thinking that he wasing forward to speak with proper etiquette, but then Ning Cheng with a sh appeared in front of the rough looking woman, lifted his hands and delivered two resounding ps to her face. p p.... two crisp sounds could be heard, the people then saw that Ning Cheng had already returned to his original position, but when they looked at the face of the rough looking woman who was just pped, two purple hand prints could distinctly be seen on both of her cheeks. Chapter 0076 – Ning Cheng’s Strength Chapter 0076 C Ning Chengs Strength Of the twenty people inside the yurt, the only person who could react to Ning Cheng who had pped the rough looking woman was the only cultivator at the True Condensation 3rd Level. However, even though he was the only person who could react to Ning Cheng pping the rough looking woman, he did note up to block him. While Ning Cheng had gone out to p this rough looking woman, at the same time he was also ready to face off against the man at the True Condensation 3rd Level, once this man decided to join the fray, he would have immediately sent out his Axe Fist towards him. He had not thought that this man at the True Condensation Realm would note forward to stop him, which made Ning Cheng somewhat surprised, but then Ning Cheng immediately understood that there should be quite a gap in the status of him and that rough looking woman. When the people saw that this outsider dared to hit the personal guard of their king, moreover the personal guard that their king favoured the most, all the people inside the yurt were instantly shocked. The three cultivator who were hanging in the corner were looking at Ning Cheng in a surprised way, they did not know where Ning Cheng came from to have such a huge amount of courage. You are courting death.... The rough looking woman did not think that Ning Cheng would actually dare to hit her, and suddenly became angry. With her whole body shaking in anger, she pounced towards Ning Cheng. The young girl sitting in the middle, who the people viewed as their master and king, immediately waved her hand, and the rough looking woman immediately stopped, although she still stared at Ning Cheng with extreme anger in her eyes, but she no longer continued to let her move towards Ning Cheng. The young girl stared at Ning Cheng, and said in a cold voice, Could it be that you are relying on your little skill, toe to my North Jue Encampment and assault my people at will? My North Jue Encampment is always hospitable towards others, you are just an invited guest, so it would be better for you to not swagger yourself before us. Then she pointed to the three cultivators who were hung up in the corner and said, Do you know why they have been hung there? That is because they wanted toe to my North Jue Encampment and show off their strength to others. Bah! If you want to use such a method to plot against me, then let me tell you that you really are nothing in front of me, moreover I your father, can kill every single thrash here if I wanted to. One of the men who was hung up, unable to use his cultivation, immediately said out with disdain. Oh, in that case, Ill put you down, then we can have a little spar, and see if whether or not you really have the guts to back up your words. That cultivator at the True Condensation 3rd Level finally spoke something albeit apathetically. When the male cultivator who was being hung in the corner heard this cultivator at the True Condensation 3rd Level speak, he immediately fell silent, it was obvious that this person had suffered a huge loss against him before. Going with the philosophy of the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Ning Cheng justughed and said, It seems that they were the ones you people plotted against, looking at the state of these three people I can definitely say that you all really are garbage. You dont seem to want to answer my question. The Killing Intent in the eyes of this girl was getting more and more intense, but the surrounding people could not notice it, they were still thinking about why their master and king was still this patient with him, and was still speaking quite nicely towards Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng suddenly once again began to walk forward, this time when the cultivator at the True Condensation 3rd Level saw that Ning Cheng walking towards his king, he quickly stepped forward, blocking Ning Chengs path, while his entire body was surrounded with a heavy Killing Intent, as long as the young girl spoke just a few words, he would begin fighting immediately. Ning Cheng stopped, staring at the girl he said, Guest? I have been standing here for a long time, but the fact is I havent been offered even a cup of tea? I have not even been offered a chair, but instead all that I got was barking from several dogs. Its just bad luck, bad luck. Saying that Ning Cheng pped his hands, as if pping his hands would dispel his bad luck. Kill him. The young girl could not endure it any longer, and with her anger finally bursting, she coldly spat out those two words. When the eight cultivators at the Qi Gathering 9th Level who were standing below her on either side heard her order, they immediately swarmed towards him. They had been waiting for their master to just say those words, now that they received their orders, they were not even half a beat slow to execute it. Ning Cheng did not even bring out the Spear that he had on his back, with his cultivation of True Condensation 1st Level if he had to use his Artefact to go against a few cultivators in the Qi Gathering Realm, it would really be a joke. Almost at the same time, he sent out four punches. Or rather than saying he sent out four punches, it would be better to say that he sent out four continuous axe strikes. Although these four axe strikes were sent out one after another, but when he really executed it, it seemed as if he sent out those four attacks simultaneously. An extremely violent Killing Intent momentarily enveloped the entire room, even the face of that cultivator at the True Condensation 3rd Level changed, he could sense the shadow of an axe in the punches of Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng was obviously empty handed, but it actually seemed that there were several axe shadowsing out towards him. This person absolutely was their enemy, thought this man at the True Condensation 3rd Level as he flicked his hands, and an octagonal sided hammer Type Artefact appeared in his hands. He had not evene forwards, when he heard Puff Puff.... four continuous sounds erupting all around him. Of the eight people at the Qi Gathering 9th Level that were approaching Ning Cheng, four of them immediately fell to the ground dead. The other four were nkly looking at the blood spilling from the four corpses of theirrades, theirplexion somewhat pale, they did not dare to continuee forward. Even the young girl who the people called as their king became pale faced, and stood up immediately. Ning Cheng discovered that when this girl stood up, she was the same height as him. Hey, werent you also were attacked by the poisonous gases from those cannibalistic sand Monstrous Beasts a moment ago, how is it that you not affected? One of the male cultivators who was hung up in a corner called out in surprise. What is this poisonous gas from the sand cannibalistic Monstrous Beast that you speak of? Ning Cheng asked in with a puzzled look on his face, he seemed to have guessed that it was probably the strange fishy and unpleasant odour from before, but under the operation of a single cycle of his True Essence, this unpleasant odour fully disappeared from his body, was it possible that this was the poisonous gas from those sand canine poisonous beast? This sand canine poisonous beast is one of the most dangerous of the Monstrous Beast in this Thunder Fall Desert, these Monstrous Beast usually travel in huge groups, moreover they not only travel on thend but evenpletely blot out the skies in the desert. Even their sharp beaks are filled with poisonous mucus, and their faces are covered withrge tumorous growths, and seem to be only a foot long. If one saw these Monstrous Beasts, one had to immediately run away, otherwise the only thing that awaits them is death. Those tumour growths on the bodies of these Monstrous Beasts are also filled with an extremely poisonous liquid, once they are burst during a fight, it will immediately release a dense and highly toxic poisonous cloud. If a cultivator even takes a whiff of this poisonous gas, their entire body will be weak, and they would not be able to utilize their Qi or True Essence. This enchanter from the North Jue Encampment likes to collect this kind of toxic gas, because we were not careful about it, for just a few cultivators in the Qi Gathering Realm, this father would have already split them apart. This male cultivator hatefully replied. That cultivator at the True Condensation 3rd Level suddenly whispered into the young girls ear and said, My King, this person has very probably taken the antidote to the poison, this antidote should have specifically been made to counter the poison of the sand canine beast, perhaps it might even be the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea. Looking at the strong Killing Intent on this person, it is absolutely clear that he is not simple to deal with, perhaps he might not be much worse than me. The pale face of the young girl who was referred to as King eased up, she immediately said to the several other people in the room, Tidy up the ce at once, and also find a seat for our esteemed Mr. Ning. My King.... That rough looking woman was anxious to speak to her, but the young girl just waved her hand, and she swallowed the words that she was about to say. The speed of the few remaining soldiers was very quick, and in just a short time, the room was entirely cleaned, there wasnt even a single blood stain on the floor, as if what happened just a moment ago was just an illusion. First take down those three people, I have to properly receive the honoured guest of my North Jue Encampment. The young girl casually pointed to the two men and the woman hanging in the corner and said. He did not wait for the guards to carry away the three people, as Ning Cheng lifted his hands and sent out a few Wind Edges. The three people who were been hung up were immediately set free by Ning Cheng, as those Wind Edges that were sent out by Ning Cheng were more than enough to cut the ropes that were held in the hands of the soldiers. Ha ha, these friends look vaguely familiar to me, I have been waiting to talk with them about the good old days. Ning Cheng said while not caring about the young girls attitude. Many thanks to the friend for our rescue, but since we are still affected by the toxic gas of the sand canine beast, so we are not able to utilize our True Essence, as such we have no way to repay the favour you have shown to us. The three people when, freed came towards Ning Cheng and immediately expressed their gratitude. Ning Cheng just casually reached out and grabbed a few chairs, Everyone please sit down, there is a saying in my hometown called the enemy of my enemy ...... no thats not right, within the four seas all of us our brothers, so why the need to be polite. Well said, within the four seas all of us brothers. The three people in the True Condensation Realm immediately weakly sped their fists, showing that they greatly approved of the words spoken by Ning Cheng. p p that young girl who was called as their King this time did not have a shred of anger on her face, instead she just smiled, and pped her hands and said, What Mr. Ning said really is true, within all the four seas everyone are brothers, Mei Xu, why dont you go prepare a nice wine for all of us to enjoy for today, let us celebrate to this capable person called Mr. Ning. The rough looking woman who had been pped twice by Ning Cheng, when she heard those words she quickly bowed and said: Yes, my King. Finished saying that she immediately turned around and left. Ning Cheng sneered in his heart, this rough looking woman called Mei Xu obviously had a Storage Bag on her, so how could she not have good wine in it? For this woman to go out, it was obviously to arrange some kind of method to trap him in this ce. However even though Ning Cheng knew about this he did not feel any fear, when he hade here he already knew that these people were nothing more than thugs. Although these yurts were arranged to form an Array Formation, but in his eyes it was not something that could threaten him. The most powerful person here was the man at the True Condensation 3rd Level in front of him, although he was powerful but it did not make him feel worried to be plotted against by them. This younger sister, I have a request, I know these three friends, but these three friends are infected by the toxic poison gas of the sand canine Monstrous Beasts. I can see that younger sister is quite well natured, how about you let me take a little bit of the antidote to help my three friends detoxify the poison from their body. Ning Cheng cupped his fists in front of the one these people called as their king and said while smiling. When the soldiers in the room heard Ning Cheng call their King as younger sister, they instantly became extremely angry. When the little girl who was referred to as King by her people heard those words, anger and Killing Intent shed past in her eyes, but then she immediately gave an apologetic smile and said, To counteract the toxicity of the sand canine Monstrous Beast, one needs the Desert Spring Geocentric Tea, but it has to be taken beforehand for the best results. Even in a thousand years no one has ever seen the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea, and thus is an extremely priceless treasure, my North Jue Encampment is just a small tribe, how could we have such a precious thing. The reason that we are not affected by the poison is because we are directly in contact with it all year round, as a result we have grown ustomed to it. For Mr. Ning to not fear this kind of poisonous gas, must be due to the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea right, if Brother Ning is willing to part with the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea, then my North Jue Encampment is willing to buy it at a high price. This woman not only said that she did not have anything like the Spiritual Grass Tea in question, but instead used the same words against Ning Cheng to counter question him. As if it was not enough, she also tried to provoke the three people who Ning Cheng had just saved to act against him. The meaning of her words was pretty obvious since you were not affected by the poison, then obviously you have an antidote to it on you, you keep babbling about brotherhood in all the four seas, why dont we see if you take out the antidote. How could Ning Cheng not know the meaning behind those words spoken by that woman, just as went ahead to counter her words, the woman that he had just saved immediately spoke up and said, Brother Ning, my clothes are already shredded, please...... When Ning Cheng heard those words, he understood her meaning, as if being embarrassed due to his carelessness, he turned and looked at the young girl who imed to be the king. When the young girl saw Ning Cheng looking at her, she immediately said to the maid servant at her side, Hurry up and get these three people here some proper dresses, we cant neglect the friends of Mr. Ning. Chapter 0077 – Lost Desert Country Chapter 0077 C Lost Desert Country Just as the feast was put together for them, the maid returned to the room with a change of clothes for the three people. Although it did not look like there was anything abnormal with them, but because of theirck of control over their True Essence, it was obvious that they were merely empty shells of their former selves. Ning Chengughed at first, and then proceeded to greet the three people. When the three people saw Ning Cheng greet them, they once again immediately stepped forward to express thanks. Ning Cheng also got to know the names of these three people, one of the male cultivator who seemed to have a fiery temperament, with a medium build, and a ckish skin was called Lou Hong Fang, he had the cultivation level of True Condensation 2nd Level. The other male cultivator was called Huang Yuan Bo, he had slender looking eyes, and was fair skinned, but only had the cultivation level of True Condensation 1st Level. While the woman cultivator was named Shi Pei Shan, she looked quite gentle, with an oval shaped face, gleaming eyes, which gave other people an impression that she was very assertive of her opinions. Once these three people sat down, Ning Cheng asked them, Were you three really poisoned by the toxic gas from those sand canine Monstrous Beasts? Lou Hong Fang angrily stared at that young girl, before saying with a raspy voice, Thats right, we were plotted against by this woman. Is there any way to solve the situation about the toxic gas? Ning Cheng knew that year after year there were innumerable amounts of cultivators who walked through the desert, so they definitely would have some way to counter this. Although he did not have any way to get rid of the poison, but that did not mean that others would not know about it. Because Shi Pei Shan had a wounded throat, so she spoke hoarsely, but when she heard the words of Ning Cheng, she took the initiative to reply and said, The toxic gas that those poisonous Monstrous Beast carry is very difficult to detoxify, but she did not lie about it, only the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea can detoxify it. Because the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea is extremely difficult to find, as a result if anyone had the bad luck of meet those sand poisonous beasts in the Thunder Fall Desert, then it would be much better that they not fight them, and actively seek to escape far away from them. Huang Yuan Bo looked at Ning Cheng and frowned before speaking, The quantity of the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea required for detoxifying the poison is not much, just a drop of the medicinal solution is more than enough. Ning Cheng lowered his head as frowned in thought, he did not care much about the words spoken by Huang Yuan Bo, what he was thinking about was the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea. Because he had never drunk such kind of tea, how could he not fear this type of toxic gas. Luo Hong Fang and Shi Pei Shan also did not care much about the words spoken by Huang Yuan Bo, only that young girl who was being called as King by everyone had a hint of smile on her lips, obviously she knew that the seed that she had nted had sprouted. At least this Huang Yuan Bo believed that this Ning Xiao Cheng had the Geocentric Spring Tea on his body. Ning Cheng at this time was thinking about the Spiritual Grass Tea that he had drank at that ce, it was the cup of Spiritual Grass Tea that was poured to him by Liu Han Yu at the Yi Shui Courtyard, although it tasted slightly bitter, but it immediately quenched the thirst in his body, it would make a person to not be able to part with it, but was that really the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea? Liu Han Yu was just a down and out woman, how could it be possible for her to have this kind of precious Spiritual Grass Tea? Is it possible that Brother Ning was also passing through the Thunder Fall Desert? Luo Hong Fang was a rtively straightforward person, and immediately made a noise to interrupt Ning Chengs line of thought. Just so. It was at this moment Ning Cheng remembered what he wanted to ask them before, since he did not know anything about this North Jue Encampment, he was a bit certain that perhaps these three people were like Luo Hong Fang who were living in this desert and would perhaps have a map of this ce. How did the three of youe here? Could it be that you are also like me, who wants to cross through this Thunder Fall Desert to go to the Hua Continent? Ning Cheng directly asked. When that young girl who the other people called as their King heard the conversation between those four people who she had never put in her eyes, her face immediately turned ugly, but it quickly returned to normal, she took the initiative and took out a jug of wine and helped Ning Cheng pour out a ss and said, I, on behalf of the North Jue Tribe, want to thank Mr. Ning here for his visit to our North Jue Encampment as our esteemed guest. When Luo Hong Fang saw Ning Cheng reach out for the ss of wine, his face immediately became anxious, and was about to speak, but then he saw that Ning Cheng had already downed the ss of wine. Ning Cheng certainly knew that Lou Hong Fang feared that the wine was poisoned, and now that those three lives were also tied to him, it was normal for Lou Hong Fang to be worried. Ning Cheng was extremely careful when he had done that, he had already thoroughly checked out the wine a long time ago. Seeing Ning Cheng to be all right, Lou Hong Feng felt relieved, and said out aloud, The three of us really were going to the Hua Continent, originally we were a group of five, but two of our group perished on the way due to the lightning that fell from the skies. A day ago we identally found an ancient map, this ancient map turned out to be of the ancient Lan Yi Country that had disappeared in the Thunder Fall Desert countless years ago. We three werepletely happy, and went out to look for the remains of that ancient Lan Yi Country, we did not expect that we would be plotted against by these despicable people here...... Luo Hong Fang said as he still angrily red at the face of young girl that people were calling as the King. That young girl who was being addressed as King leisurely said, Mr Ning, what brother Luo said is really true, but what he didnt say was that he had obtained this ancient map from a traitor of my North Jue Tribe. This map really is of the historic ruins of the Lan Yi Country, but what many people do not know about this point is that this ancient Lan Yi Country was the precursor of my North Jue Tribe. Initially when the Lan Yu Country was destroyed, many of the elders that protected the country ended up shedding their blood, some of the elders who fled the Lan Yi Country ended up establishing my North Jue Tribe, this Tribe is the only thing that was left behind from that era. Now that someone was going to excavate the remains of my Lan Yi Countrys historical sites, I as the King of the North Jue Tribe, how could I let the remains of my Lan Yi Country to fall into the hands of others? Moreover, even the ancient map that they obtained was also from my North Jue Tribe. Luo Hong Fang pointed at the young girl andughed, You say that your North Jue Tribe are their descendants, then I am too, do you have no sense of shame? Do not say that this North Jue Tribe is the legacy that the Lan Yi Country left behind, even if that was the case, even Lan Yi Country has no right to say that it was theirs. In the past, the reason why the Lan Yi Country chose to establish themselves in this desert, was not because this Thunder Fall Desert was really good for them, but it was because the Lan Yi Country found the legacy of a strong cultivator beneath the desert. Once the Lan Yi Country found that there was a legacy of a strong cultivator beneath the desert sands, so they immediately chose to migrate their entire country to the Thunder Fall Desert. None of them though that Lan Yi Country would have hit such a huge jackpot, after they established their country in the desert, instead of declining they actually prospered into a true country. Whether that historic relic was actually found or not I do not know, but the Lan Yi Country had increasingly thrived. Ning Cheng really could not believe that someone could actually establish a thriving country in this Thunder Fall Desert, the fearfulness of this Thunder Desert, he had experienced it himself. Seeing the still puzzled look on Ning Chengs face, Shi Pei Shan took the initiative to speak, Brother Ning, what Brother Luo said is indeed true, the Lan Yi Country had really founded a thriving nation in this desert moreover it had been thriving for innumerable years. Initially the Lan Yi Country was founded at the edge of the desert, but after passing through the countless years of change, along with the constant erosion from the Thunder Fall Desert, this Desert also became increasingly huge. Originally this Lan Yi Country was established at the edges of the Thunder Fall Desert, but it gradually moved to the depths of the desert. Because of this, it also led to the demise of the Lan Yi Country. With the few words that Huang Yuan Bo heard from Shi Pei Shan, he then continued on with the exnation, I heard that the Lan Yi Country was exterminated not because of the lightning and other creatures in the Thunder Fall Desert, but because someone from the Lan Yi Country found the resting ce of a strong Sea Opening Realm cultivator, which resulted in bringing in all kinds of supreme masters to fight for its legacy. When these supreme masters started fighting in the Lan Yi Country, it resulted in theplete destruction of the entire Lan Yi Country. Afterwards when the most powerful yellow sand dragon in the Thunder Fall Desert passed by it, not only did all the cultivators stop fighting, but rather all the people in the Lan Yi Country disappeared without a trace. The Lan Yi Country was thenpletely absorbed by the desert just like a sponge soaking in water. Yellow Sand Dragon? When Ning Cheng heard those words he immediately recalled the incident from a few days ago when he was swept away by a yellow sand dragon, he then had to use his fist with hisprehension of the true meaning of the axe to break through the yellow sand, and it was only then that he could escape. Lou Hong Fang continued on with his exnation, Thats right, in this Thunder Fall Desert besides those horrible sand poisonous beasts, this Thunder Fall Desert still has those yellow sand dragons. These yellow dragon looks like a violent sand swirl that takes the shape of sand pirs, once you are sucked up by it, then it is very difficult to escape, finally you will end up being torn apart into tiny pieces by those Yellow Sand Dragons. What I just described to you was just a small Thunder Fall Yellow Dragon, the biggest Yellow Dragon is said to be thousands of miles long, if you meet this Yellow Dragon, even if it was a real country, I estimate that it would bepletely swallowed by it. Ning Cheng now understood, that the reason that he was able to escape was because it was probably a small yellow sand dragon, if it was arge one, perhaps he might have not been lucky enough to be able to escape. But what Ning Cheng was most interested at this time was the resting ce of the cultivator of the Sea Opening Realm, he was no longer the unknowledgeable fellow that he was when arrived in this world, he was very clear in his mind, about the different ways of the cultivation world. Because of limited resources, the people often fought with each other with their full strength, as a result most of these precious resources would no doubt be snatched by the others, you then could only look at other people advancing in their cultivation, while you were simply casted off to the side. In this Yi Xing Maind there were 9 major realms, the Sea Opening Realm was the realm directly below the Crucible Transformation Realm, once one stepped into the Crucible Transformation Realm, there was a legend that these cultivators can even rip apart the heavens and the earth and travel to distant ces in just an instant. Of course, this knowledge, Ning Cheng had heard about it from the mouth of Tai Shu Shi. When he hade out of the Ping Continent, only then he hade to know that above the Essence Building Realm was the Profound Congealing Realm, and above the Profound Congealing Realm was the Profound Core Realm. As for what was above the Profound Core Realm, he did not have any knowledge about it at that point of time. It was only when he arrived at the Yuan Continent and exchanged information about Tai Shu Yi, that he came to know that above the Profound Core Realm was the Soul Essence Realm, and above the Soul Essence Realm was the Soul Sculpting Realm, and when one crossed through the Soul Sculpting Realm they would then step into the Sea Opening Realm. It was thus clear that the burial site of a mighty cultivator in the Sea Opening Realm would not only be full of fearful things but would also be filled with iparably precious treasures. So when Lou Hong Fang said that the Lan Yi Country established their country in this Thunder Fall Desert because of the tomb of the Sea Opening Realm Cultivator, Ning Cheng did not find it strange that the country ended up increasing in prosperity before they copsed. Ning Cheng suddenly looked at the young girl King and said, My King, I think that the ancient map that Brother Lou had obtained should be with you right? Can you let me have a look at this ancient map to see what makes it so special? There was a slight change in this young girl Kingsplexion, she knew that Ning Cheng wanted the ancient map of the Lan Yi Country, but she had never thought that Ning Cheng would be so straightforward with it. If Ning Cheng had tried to beat around the bush even a little, she could certainly be able to find some sort of excuse and dodge it. The man at the True Condensation 3rd Level standing by the side of the little girl Kingughed and said, Mr. Ning, I respect you as a guest of my King, for you toe to my North Jue Tribe is just destiny. We even served you good wine and were even quite hospitable with you Mr. Ning, but even then Mr. Ning you go on to ask so tantly about the ancient map of our North Jue Tribe, do you think that my North Jue Tribe could be bullied so easily? Is the map really of the North Jue Tribe? This map was obviously taken from my body when you searched me, how do you even have the face to say that this ancient map belongs to the North Jue Tribe? Lou Hong Fang said in a sarcastic voice. At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps could be heard as someone rushed into the room. Ning Cheng had a bit of doubt in his mind, who had such a big courage, to dare to directly rush into the yurt of the North Jue Tribes King? What he saw then was a young man, with thin eyes but thick eyebrows, and a hooked nose which made an extreme contrast with his face. When Ning Cheng nced at the young mans cultivation, it turned out to be the highest of all the people here, he truly had the cultivation of the True Condensation 4th Level. Xiu Xiu...... this man with the hooked nose called out, but then when he saw Ning Cheng and the others, he did not speak out the rest of the words. Calling the King of the North Jue Tribe as Xiu Xiu, evidently this hook nosed mans rtionship with this young woman was not something simple. Yes, since we have found the ancient map, so I had sent out someone to signal you toe here. This young girl King who was just called Xiu Xiu said whileughing. This hooked nose mans vision then moved over to Ning Cheng and the other people with him, he did not know who Ning Cheng and the other people were, but then again Xiu Xiu actually went ahead and directly spoke the matter of the ancient map in front of them. Chapter 0078 – Joint Exploration Of The Ruins Chapter 0078 C Joint Exploration Of The Ruins Who are they? The hooked nosed man swept his eyes in the direction of Ning Cheng and the others and asked. Xiu Xiu pointed towards Ning Cheng and said while smiling, This is Ning Xiao Cheng, the cultivation of Mr. Ning is something really astonishing, an ordinary True Condensation Cultivator is not something that could match up with him. Ning Cheng suddenly stood up and cupped his fists in front of the hooked nosed man and said whileughing, I havent yet asked this friends name? I am North Jues Pie Guang He, since Brother Ning is so amazing, we could really be much closer in the future. This hooked nosed man gave a false smile as he spoke to Ning Cheng while sping his fist in front of him. Ning Cheng did not wait for Xiu Xiu to speak again, and continued to speak, These three are friends of mine, and also the ones who found the ancient map of the Lan Yi Country. Because they were a bit careless during their journey so they were infected by the poison gas of the poisonous sand beasts, Xiu Xiu was nning on helping them in detoxification. By the way, I do not know if Brother Pie has something called the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea to counteract the poison? If do have it, then it certainly would be the best. Because of the abrupt words from Ning Cheng, Pei Guang He took out the antidote of the poison, but instead of giving it to him he looked in a puzzling way at the young girl called Xiu Xiu. Xiu Xiu did not directly give the answer, but motioned for the people to sit down again and then said, Although Lou Hong Fang and the others truly did obtain the ancient map, but they also offered the map to me. Since this map was lost in my North Jues territory, what my idea is, that since we are all here together because of the ancient map, why not we go and explore the ruins together? When this Pei Guang He arrived, the young girl called as King by her people calmed her heart down. Although Ning Cheng was powerful, but he was only one person, now that Pei Guang he had arrived, he could easily take care of someone like Ning Xiao Cheng, as for Pei Guang Hes strength, she was extremely clear about it. It was also because of this, that she changed her mind. it would be a lot better to pull these people together with them to explore the ruins. Even if they could not find anything, they could at least use them as cannon fodder if something unexpected happened. Once Pei Guang nced at the look in Xiu Xius eyes, he immediately understood the young girl kings viewpoint, he justughed and said, Thats right, the ruins are vast andrge. So if we could all band up together, then our strength would be even more powerful than before and thus we all would be much more safe during the exploration. Just as he finished speaking, the rough looking girl called Mei Xu that the young girl had sent away came in and whispered something into the ears of the young girl called Xiu Xiu. Xiu Xiu just nodded her head, but did not express anything. Ning Cheng had already swept out with his Spiritual Sense, he found that within the scope of his Spiritual Sense, there appeared many soldiers. Not only that, they also seemed to be arranged into a simple trapping Array Formation. Ning Cheng looking at this simple Level 1 Trapping Array Formation wasughing in his mind, with this kind of elementary Array Formation, they dare to show off in front of him. Luo Hong Fang suddenly eximed, Going to explore the ruins together is not a problem, but first we need a solution for the poison in our bodies. Pei Guang He suddenly said, This is my oversight, I was originally called in to help you all in detoxifying, but because we ended talking about other things, I unexpectedly forgot about it. Even if the few of us do not go together, since you were the ones who helped us find the ancient map of my Lan Yi Country, it is my obligation to help you out. While speaking, Pei Guang He had already taken out three jade cups, then he took out a grey gourd, and poured a little bit of green tea into the three jade cups. Three friends, please use this Desert Geocentric Spring Tea. After listening to Pei Guang He said that it was the Geocentric Spring Tea, Lou Hong Fang was the first topletely drain the cup. Seeing Lou Hong Fang drink the tea, Huang Yuan Bo and Shi Pei Shan also did not hesitate to drink the tea, After a few moments, Lou Hong Fangughed, Many thanks Brother Pei, the poison in my body has really cleared up. You can count on me, Lou Hong Fang, to help you out with the exploration of the ruins, I Lou Hong Fang never go back on my words. Huang Yuan Bo also cupped his fists in front of Pei Guang He, to show his gratitude. Only Shi Pei Shan had not thanked Pei Guang He, but rather cupped her fists in front of Ning Cheng and said, Thank you Brother Ning, for saving our lives. When Lou Hong Fang heard what Shi Pei Shan said, he then pped his head and said, My mistake, the one I should be thanking is Brother Ning. Saying that he once again expressed his gratitude towards Ning Cheng, when Huang Yuan Bo looked at them, he too expressed his gratitude towards Ning Cheng. But Ning Cheng actually felt that the thanks that Huang Yuan Bo showed was somewhat perfunctory, although Lou Hong Fang had not thought about it at first, but at least his thanks seemed to havee from the bottom of his heart. Well, now that the poison has been rid from your bodies, I am finally relieved, now lets discuss with everybody on how would we go ahead and find the ruins of the Lan Yi Country. This girl king really showed a relieved expression on her face, as she stood up and said. Saying that, she passed a leather skin into the hands of Pei Guang He. This is the map we found. When Shi Pei Shan saw the leather skin in his hands, she immediately whispered in Ning Chengs ears. As if Pei Guang He heard Shi Pei Shan, after ncing at the map in his hands, he handed it Ning Cheng and said, Brother Ning, wouldnt it be better to ce this map in your hands? When Ning Cheng received the map, he also nced at it, and then returned it back and said Since Brother Pei is the host here, it would be better for the map to be in Brother Peis hands. Xiu Xiu actually looked doubtfully at Ning Cheng, wasnt the reason why Ning Cheng came here was for this map, but now that the map was being offered to him, he did not want it? What she would have never believed was that at the moment when Ning Cheng had taken a nce at the map, he had already thoroughly memorized and imprinted the contents of the map onto his mind. Even if a cultivator was able to use their Spiritual Sense, they would have to sweep the entire map a couple of times with it to even memorize a portion of it, but sweeping it with their Spiritual Sense andpletely branding it into their minds were two entirely different concepts. Or you can just give it to me. Lou Hong Fang said as although he had a favourable impression of Ning Cheng, but he actually did not like the way Ning Cheng did things. Since the others were giving you the map, why would he still refuse it? You can. Pei Guang He did not hesitate even one bit as he handed the map back into Lou Hong Fangs hands, and simultaneously stood up and said to Xiu Xiu, Xiu Xiu, it is better if we leave right now, even though we have the ancient map of the ruins with us, if we do not rush out in a timely manner, Im afraid that something unexpected might happen. Xiu Xiu just showed a faint smile and said, What Guang He said is correct, we should head out now. Me and Guang He, along with Yu Xing and Mei Xu, in addition to Mr. Ning and the three people along with Brother Lou, we are a total of 8 people. This time this young girl king finally called out to one of the three former captives as Brother Lou, as for the other two she did not call out their names directly. Since the map is now in the hands of Brother Lou, then it would be better that Brother Lou lead the way. Pei Guang He said while smiling. No problem. Lou Hong Fang took the lead as he directly went out of the room. The remaining few people also immediately followed him and went out of the yurt, even Ning Cheng followed behind Pei Guang He. It was probably because of the arrival of Pei Guang He that Xiu Xiu decided to jointly venture out to explore the ruins, and also precisely the reason why Xiu Xiu had not activated the entrapment Array Formation that she had set up outside. After leaving the yurt, Lou Hong Fang immediately picked up his speed, and quickly left the oasis that was dotted with those yurts behind in the dust. Ning Cheng and the other were silently following behind Lou Hong Fang, no one spoke a single word. As for the people who were calling the young girl as their king, as if on orders, did not follow behind with her, it was as if she knew that even if they took them along, they would not be of much use in exploring the ruins. I do not know how far is the North Jue Tribe from here? For the North Jue Tribe toe here, did they already know that there was an oasis here? After the eight people walked for about an hour, Ning Cheng finally took the initiative to break the silence. The young girl named Xiu Xiu showed a faint smile, she did not beat around the bush, and directly said, This is a secret only for the tribe members along with their families from my North Jue Tribe, if Mr. Ning wants to know more about the North Jue Tribe, then you would have to join our North Jue Tribe for it. Ning Cheng just leisurely said, Even if I wanted to join the North Jue Tribe, I still have an issue that I have to resolve first and as such have to consult with King Xiu Xiu. I do not know if a noble like you have a map to the Hua Continent? Xiu Xiu did not even consider this for even half a moment, before she bluntly said, No. Shei Pei Shan walked up to the side of Ning Cheng and said, Brother Ning, the map to pass through the Thunder Fall Dessert that you ask for, only a very few people possess it. However, if one wants to walk out of the Thunder Fall Dessert, as a rule, they will often have to encounter frequent whirlpools in the Thunder Fall Dessert. These sand whirlpools will often swirl in the sand in a particr direction, as long as you walk in the same direction, you can walk out of here. Many thanks. Ning Cheng thanked Shi Pei Shan and did not say anything more, since no one wanted to start a conversation, it was useless for him to try and speak. After an hour, Lou Hong Fang finally stopped, pointing to a huge sand pit in front of him, he said, We have arrived, its right here. Ning Cheng who had already memorized the map, already knew how to enter the ruins. ording to the markings on the map, once they arrived at the entrance of the ruins, one would be able to see a giant sand pit. In the evening, when the moonlight shined over this sand pit, it will create three lunar shadows which would eventually ovep with each other. This intersection point of the three lunar shadows was the actual entrance to the ruins of Lan Yi Country. In this desert one would find numerous sand pits, but most of the sand pits here would end being filled up with sand over time. Since the map had already mentioned that the sand pit above the ruins would not be filled up with sand, it stood to reason that this particr sand pit would not disappear for no reason. Sure enough, since the giant pit was right in front of them, it indicated that the map was indeed genuine. It appears that there still is about an hours time for the moon to appear, I rmend that everyone should take a look at the map. Huang Yuan Bo suddenly opened his mouth to speak. This map was already seen by the few people from the North Jue Tribe, but as for them, they only looked at it once, as a result he decided to make that proposal. Certainly. Lou Hong Fang took the initiative and gave the map to Huang Yuan Bo, but did not seek out Xiu Xius views. Huang Yuan Bo also did not refuse, holding the map in his hands he repeated nced at it as if trying to memorize it, and then gave the map to Shi Pei Shan. Shi Pei Shan also looked at the map a few times, before handing it to Mei Xu. Mei Xu seemed as if she did not want to give the map to Ning Cheng, and kept looking at the map in her hands repeatedly. Atst till the moon finally rose up in the sky, the map still remained in her hands as if she was trying hard tomit the map to her memory. Mei Xu, hand over the map to Brother Luo, Brother Luo please ept the map and continue to lead the way. Xiu Xiu said as she gave a dissatisfied look at Mei Xu. Mei Xu seemed as if she suddenly understood the map, that she was holding in her hands for so long, and quickly handed over the map to Lou Hong Fang. Lou Hong Fang did not care about it, but he pointed to the ce in the sand pit where the three shadows ovepped at said, Ill go in first, as for the rest, just follow me. Saying that, he directly jumped at the ce where the three shadows ovepped. Just as Lou Hong Fang jumped at the ce of ovep of the three shadows, hepletely vanished, only the air around the spot where the three shadows ovepped quivered slightly, while nothing else in the surrounding changed. It was as if Lou Hong Fang had simply jumped into a pond, as if there was no risk at all. Chapter 0079 – Blue Sand City Chapter 0079 C Blue Sand City The rest of the people also did not hesitate, and following the same trend jumped down. Just as Ning Cheng fell on top of the spot where the three lunar shadows ovepped, he immediately felt an enormous suction force spreading throughout all around him, he did not need to use any kind of Earth Escape Technique, and was directly carried away. This was definitely a Transfer Array Formation, Ning Cheng was just thinking about this, when he stepped on to a field. As for the rest of people, they all simultaneously fell around him in the same ce, in the meantime Ning Cheng swept his eyes around taking in his surroundings, they were standing on a passage that was underneath the desert. This passage seemed to go on as far as the eye could see, but the width of it did not exceed 3 or 4 feet. On both sides of the passage one could not make out the colour of the walls clearly, but the walls were iid with a rows of glowing stones that emitted a weak and dim light. As for what was underneath their feet, it was a simple stoned path, this stone path stretched into the distance and one could not make out where it ended. This should not be the true ruins of the country; the ruins of the country would not have such obvious artificial traces. Yu Xing, the True Condensate cultivator that guarded the young girl king spoke out first. But Pei Guang He said disapprovingly, Initially when the several elders of my North Jue Tribe escaped from the catastrophe of the Lan Yi Country, some of them must have returned back. Perhaps they had already found the remains of the Lan Yi Country, but because there were no more things remaining here, so they created this ce, so that theter generations could more easily find the Lan Yi Country. Otherwise, from where did our map evene from? To say it such confidence, the words that Pei Guang He spoke actually felt quite reasonable. However, Ning Cheng thought that what Pei Guang He said was notpletely correct, if what Pei Guang He said was correct, then they should be underneath the desert. As no one had visited this ce in the middle of the desert for countless years, then the air inside this ce should have been stuffy, with at least some hint of staleness in the air. But the fact was, when he came in, he couldnt even smell a single whiff of stale air, moreover there was even a slight draft blowing in their direction. Whether what you said is true or false is not much relevant, since we have already arrived here, we must go and take a look. Lou Hong Fang finished speaking, and took the lead and started walking along the passage. After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, Lou Hong Fang stopped in front of an ancient city gate, half of the city walls were already copsed, and on the stone b at the corner of the city gate, in a motley handwriting that was barely visible, was written Blue Sand City. Here are the ruins of the Lan Yi Country, Blue Sand City was the capital of the Lan Yi Country. Lou Hong Fang said with a touch of excitement in his tone. Blue Sand City showed the vicissitudes of life, in any case, what they had assumed before was certainly not false, the scene in front of them could only be manifested due to the passage of countless years of erosion by time. Ning Cheng even suspected that the draft of wind that he had felt earlier might have been an illusion. Blue Sand City is indeed the capital city of Lan Yi Country, originally the Lan Yi Country had a huge defensive battle Array Formation, I did not expect that even after the passage of countless years, the sand still could notpletely bury the Lan Yi Country, it shows that the huge Defensive Array Formation is still working. Xiu Xiu said in a low voice as she watched the Blue Sand City. Pei Guang He coolly said, That may not be necessarily so, in the deepest parts of the desert one can find many desert geological faults, if this Blue Sand City happened to be separated by these Geological Faults, then even if there was no Defensive Array Formations, they would still not be buried under the sand. Since we have alreadye here, how can we cringe with fear? Lou Hong Fang finished speaking, and once again took the lead and strode past the gates of Blue Sand City. Yu Xing was the second to follow, the rest of the people did not hesitate any more, and quickly entered the city through the gate. Ning Cheng also strode into the Blue Sand City through the ancient gates. After entering through the gate, everyone could feel a draft of decayed and dry air around them, which made the people a bit rxed. Since this were the ruins of the Lan Yi Country, so this kind of draft filled with decay wasmon. Many of the buildings that appeared to be shops were already damaged, with pieces from many of these building strewn across the street with a lot of sand covering them in a thickyer of yellow, it made the people to believe that the street was not very wide, although it also did not give the feeling of being crowded, it did give out an intense feeling of destion. The few peoples footsteps could be heard all along the streets, as for the shops and stalls that sold various Artefacts and other materials on the streets to both foreigners and locals had long since turned to dust. Dried bones.... just as they continued to walk forward Ning Cheng heard Shi Pei Shan call out suddenly, she had just stepped on a skull, moreover this skull still was very strong. There are dried bones everywhere here, what is there to be surprised about it. The rough looking woman called Mei Xu who had been pped by Ning Cheng said loudly with disdain in her voice. Just as her voice faded, everyone could hear a crash sound, as an otherwiseplete looking shop building immediately turned to dust. The passage of countless years surely has taken quite a toll on the city, for even a human sound to have enough power to turn an otherwiseplete looking shop building to powder. Pei Guang He said in a slow voice as he sighed. Ning Cheng frowned, he again felt that something was wrong, this shop building that had turned to powder in front of them presumably because of the sound was very strange. In essence, this air draft that was filled with a rotten and stale scent had much more power in it that just the sound from when one spoke, it fact he was not aware of this decadent taste. He could only smell the scent of decay from the streets. He even suspected that Pei Guang He also knew about this and understood this point, but he used his words in such a way as to cover up something. The rest of the people no longer spoke anymore, on the entire street there were only those few people who were walking with whispering footsteps, along the way they all saw countless skeletons and bones scattered around, but they had already be ustomed to it, and nobody thought that anything was wrong. This street seemed to be endless, even after walking on it for an hour, although the few people had passed through a few curves along the way, they still could not see the end of this street. Huang Yuan Bo has disappeared. Suddenly Shi Pei Shan who was following behind Ning Cheng called out in a frightened voice again, everyone immediately stopped and turned around, they all discovered that Huang Yuan Bo had really disappeared. The original eight people were carefully walking through the street, and moreover each of them were highly alert and vignt, but when Huang Yuan Bo disappeared, the rest of the people did not know what had transpired. I think that something is truly strange here, everyone should be mutually careful with each other, what do you say Brother Ning? Pei Guang He looked at Ning Cheng and spoke, his meaning was very clear, I do not want to go back to look for Huang Yuan Bo. Ning Cheng smiled and said, What Brother Pei suggested is really good, of course we will listen to the opinion of Brother Pei. Basically he did not even wait for half a moment and spoke in a way that meant that he would also not go back to find Huang Yuan Bo. Aaaah, blood...... This time it was Mei Xu who was screaming, everyone immediately looked at Mei Xu who was still screaming, taking a look past her, everyone knew why Mei Xu had screamed, at the building behind her there was arge pool of blood spreading out from beneath the shut door. In a ce such as this underground ruins, how could there be a pool of blood? Even if there was a pool of blood previously, it would have long since dried up, how could there be such arge amount of blood flowing out? Isnt it just a little blood? There is nothing to be surprised about it. Shi Pei Shan ironically called out all of a sudden, it was obviously because she was ridiculed by Mei Xu previously, and was extremely ufortable in her heart that she spoke out in such a manner. Lou Hong Fang suddenly punched the front door, as he suddenly felt a little bit depressed, this was the only way he could think of to shake of this depression. Squeak. a sound came, the front door that Lou Hong Fang punched did not get smashed to powder as one would expect, but rather it was as if he had only pushed open the door. Originally Lou Hong Fang wanted to smash open the door with his punch, and then directly charge through the open door. But now that door just gave a loud squeak instead of sting open as expected, his heart immediately started pounding in his chest. There seemed to be a gloomy and cold atmosphere inside the room behind the door, and so after a short while as the rest of the people adapted to the lighting, they could clearly see the situation behind the door. This seemed to be a great hall of sorts, the hall still had many chairs all around and seemed to be a meeting ce of sorts. As for what was further inside, one could not see clearly. The blood that had flowed outside wasing from flowing out from a pattern that was inscribed on the floor of the main hall, the blood was flowing through this pattern as if it was a water stream, creating an endless boundary. Ning Cheng wanted to enter this hall and sweep it with his Spiritual Sense, but he found that when his Spiritual Sense entered the hall, it immediately disappeared without a trace. Mei Xu who was unhappy because of Shi Pei Shans sarcastic remark before, turned to Xiu Xiu and said, My King, I will go forward first and have a look. You should be careful. After Xiu Xiu spoke that sentence, she did not prevent Mei Xu to go ahead. Mei Xu took a step into the hall, as she quickly disappeared from the eyes of the crowd. After a while, the few people suddenly heard Mei Xus surprised voice, Artefact.... When Lou Hong Fang heard Mei Xus voice he also immediately stepped inside, Pei Guang He together with Xiu Xiu and the three other people also immediately followed. In just a twinkling of an eye, these five people disappeared from the vision of Ning Cheng and Shi Pei Shan, it was just like drop of water falling into the sea. Elder Sister Shi, do you not want to go in? Ning Cheng looked doubtfully at Shi Pei Shan and asked. Shi Pei Shan smiled and said, It is not that I am afraid of death, since we are all looking for some opportunity, we should not fear death. It is just that I think that if I follow Brother Ning, I would have a much better chance. Ning Cheng suddenly changed topics and asked, How much do you know about Huang Yuan Bo? Shi Pei Shan did not understand why did Ning Cheng would suddenly ask about Huang Yuan Bo, she hesitated for a while before saying, Huang Yuan Bo is a disciple from the Cang Yan 4 Star Academy of the Yuan Continent, the reason why we formed a team with him was because he is quite knowledgeable about Array Formations. Although he does not speak much, but his personality is quite good. Ning Cheng was just about to speak, when he heard a rapid burst of footsteps, then he and Shi Pei Shan immediately saw Huang Yuan Bo rushing towards them. Huang Yuan Bo had a paleplexion and looked very flustered. After he saw Ning Cheng and Shi Pei Shan, he seemed relieved, and quickly rushed towards them, after catching his breath for a moment he said, It really was too dangerous, if I did not understand Array Formations, I was sure that I would not be able to get out. What is the matter? Shi Pei Shan hastily asked. Huang Yuan Bo said with a fearful voice, I had stepped into a Bewildering Array Formation, and ended up stuck inside it for a long time, if I had not found this door in front of me I wouldnt have been able to exit the Array Formation. Hey, what happened to the others? They have already entered the main hall; we were also just about to go in before you arrived. Ning Cheng said, as he pointed to the pitch ck main hall in front of him, then after saying that, he also proceeded to enter the enter the main hall. Seeing Ning Cheng go inside, Shi Pei Shan also quickly went inside, Huang Yuan Bo nced at the blood on the ground, and did not feel surprised, and also followed them inside. Chapter 0080 – The Grey Robed Man Atop The Blood Pool Chapter 0080 C The Grey Robed Man Atop The Blood Pool After the three people including Ning Cheng entered the main hall, they immediately saw the other five people who had entered the hall before them. Not only that, their field of view was also unusually clear. When one looked at the main hall from the outside, it appeared very bleak and deste, basically one would not be able to make out anything inside distinctly, but none of them expected that when they entered the hall, they would be able to see the surroundings this clearly. Brother Huang, you are alright, it really is the best news. Lou Hong Fang said as he saw Huang Yuan Bo enter the hall, and greeted them with a happy feeling in his heart. Ning Cheng could also now see clearly, in the innermost reaches of the main hall, there was an altar that had three Artefacts as if they were ced there as an offering. The middle one was a ck ring, the one on the left was a very ordinary looking Flying Sword, while the one on the right was a knife like Artefact. On both sides of this altar, there was a small door. Why didnt you go ahead and take the Artefacts? Shi Pei Shan looked puzzlingly at the five people who had entered the hall before them and asked. Once Ning Cheng had looked at the entire hall in front of him, he once again turned to look back at the entrance to the main hall through which they had arrived, it was simr to before, that is he couldnt see the outside clearly while standing inside. We cannot take them, just now when we went ahead to take a look, we were almost seriously injured. There is a Defensive Array Formation in front of the altar, once you get close to it, the Array Formation will automatically attack you. But now that Brother Huang has once again reappeared, and moreover since he is also an Array Formation Master, why dont we allow him to take a look at it to help us break it open? Lou Hong Fang said as he looked in the direction of Huang Yuan Bo. Huang Yuan Bo shook his head and said, The level of understanding that I have towards Array Formations is very limited, and thus I cannot see it clearly. Although Ning Cheng could not tell what this Array Formation in front of him was, but he could tell that the altar in front of them was not an ordinary altar, but rather a sacrificial altar. Pei Guang He looked at Ning Cheng as he smiled and said, Brother Ning, there is a door on both sides of the altar, of the eight people here, why dont we divide ourselves into two groups of 4 and enter the doors to see what is inside? As for the Artefacts on the altar, we cane back to itter. Ning Cheng immediately replied, Of course, I will take the left door, who would like to join up with me. Just as he finished speaking, Ning Cheng was already moving towards the small door on the left and soon disappeared through it. Ill follow Brother Ning. Huang Yuan Bo immediately said as he followed Ning Cheng inside. When Shi Pei Shan and Lou Hong Fang saw that, they also immediately followed behind. The distinction was pretty clear, and the eight people were divided equally into two groups of four. Xiu Xiu, these Artefacts are fake. Pei Guang He saw the four of them enter the small door on the left, and immediately said out loud. Xiu Xiu nodded, it was apparent to them that these Artefacts in front of them were fake. How is it possible for those to be fake? What about the Qi fluctuations, if they were fake then why use the Array Formation to protect them? Mei Xu asked as she did not understand. Pei Guang He said with a sneer, It is not only me and Xiu Xiu who noticed that these Artefacts were fake, I think that that Ning Xiao Cheng should have also noticed that these Artefacts were fake. Mei Xu after being silent for a while, subconsciously spoke up, If you already knew this, my King, then why did you let those four people go in, wont they take away the good things.... These are the ruins of our Lan Yi Country, if I let them in, then they definitely would not be able toe out. Mei Yu you can rest assured; we can easily leave whenever we want to. Xiu Xiu said in a calm voice. Pei Guang He looked at Mei Xu pitifully, what the altar needed was a blood sacrifice, only then could it be opened. Of the four people along with Ning Cheng who had just passed though, it was certain that at least one of them knew that a blood sacrifice was needed, but now that there were only four people here, naturally they would have to choose a person as a blood sacrifice among them. He simply did not need to think; he had already selected Mei Xu for the blood sacrifice. Mei Xu seemed to know nothing about this, and still tightly followed behind Xiu Xiu, while frequently watching the scenes in the surroundings. ...... When Ning Cheng and the others entered through the small door, there were six dark corridors in front of them. And none of them knew what corridor should they enter. Huang Yuan Bo. pointed to the second corridor from the left and said, When I passed by the Array Formation from before, I also encountered this type of arrangement, we should go through the second channel. After saying that Huang Yuan Bo immediately walked towards the corridor he pointed, Ning Cheng and the others did not have any objections and also followed behind. Brother Ning, I always felt that that Xiu Xiu has some ill intentions for us, but she not only helped the three of us get rid of the poison in our body, but even proposed to explore the ruins together, just why is she so good? At the moment, since they were the only four people walking through the dark corridor, Shi Pei Shan finally said what she had always wanted to ask. Huang Yuan Bo also spoke up, after walking towards Ning Cheng and said, Ive also had this doubt, but I just could not find anything...... Huang Yuan Bo had not even finished speaking, when his hands suddenly emitted a white light, this white light directly shot towards the waist of Ning Cheng, and was as swift as lightning. Almost at the same time, Ning Cheng also sted out a punch. This fist that was filled with an intense axe type Killing Intent directly flew towards the legs of Huang Yuan Bo, as that white light and the murderous Axe Fist came out it immediately filled the corridor in which they were in with thunder like rumblings, these rumbling were unceasingly resounding throughout the corridor. Bang a dull thumping sound could be heard, as the white light from Huang Yuan Bo directly collided at Ning Chengs waist. It was followed by two distinct sounds of blood spurting, Ning Chengs Axe Fist immediately split Huang Yuan Bo above his knees, causing the legs of Hung Yuan Bo to immediately separate from his body. But when the white light fell on Ning Chengs body, it did not have any visible effect. Lou Hong Fang and Shi Pei Shan had a shocked look on their faces as they looked at Ning Cheng and Huang Yuan Bo. They did not understand how they ended up in this sort of situation. How did you know that I was going to sneak attack you? Huang Yuan Bos face turned ugly as he finally snapped. You left the group secretly, and even arranged an Array Formation on the way back, I know that you would plot against anyone, but I truly did not think that you would plot against me. This is something a good man would never do, not only did I save your dog shit of a life, but in return you also nned to kill me. Ning Cheng said in a cold voice. Hung Yuan Bos face turned white as a cardboard as he said, I really hate you so much, I should have attacked your legs. He not only hated himself for attacking the wrong ce, but he also hated himself for being negligent, if he had only sneakily attacked Ning Xiao Chengs leg, then at least he would have been able to fight evenly with the opposite party. Who knew that this fellow was wearing an Armour Type Artefact inside? If he was not wearing the armour inside, his attack would have already sliced Ning Xiao Cheng in half. Ning Cheng calmly replied, You do not need to be hateful about anything, that is because I let you attack my waist. The implication was that, if I had not allowed you to carry out your sneak attack, even without the armour you would not be able to hurt a single strand of my hair, much less split apart my waist. Huang Yuan Bo suddenly stared at Lou Hong Fang and Shi Pei Shan and snapped, Lou Hong Fang, Shi Pei Shan, if the two of you join hands together with me, then as long as the three of us coborate, we can easily take care of him. Do you really think that he saved us? He definitely has the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea on him, but he chose not to take it out. Shi Pei Shan frowned and said, Huang Yuan Bo, this is not the first day that you came out, regardless of if Brother Ning has the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea on him or not, he still saved all of us. Moreover, now that problem of the poison from the sand beast in our bodies has already been solved, why would you still want to attack Brother Ning? Solved? Ha Ha.... Huang Yuan Bo gave a miserableugh and said, If it had already been solved, this father would have already walked away, why would I have waited till now? That poison had temporarily been suppressed by Pei Guang He, can you not see that the Qi flowing in your Dantian is still not flowing smoothly? Although Huang Yuan Bo had the lowest cultivation among them. but he was a disciple from a 4 Star Academy, so he was quite knowledgeable in these matters. When Shi Pei Shan and Lou Hong Fang heard it they immediately tried it, at once they immediately came to understand that what Huang Yuan Bo said was indeed right, the poison was only suppressed temporarily, but was actually not solved. Seeing the paleplexion of the two people, Huang Yuan Bo cried out in a bitter voice, Ning Xiao Cheng is simply not afraid of the poisonous gas of those sand beast, how could you not believe that he does not have the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea on him? Even taking a few steps back, even if he did not have the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea on him, but since he drank the Desert Geocentric Spring Tea, his blood can also be used to counteract the poison.... Huang Yuan Bos voice was getting smaller and smaller. Lou Hong Fang and Shi Pei Shan suddenly turned silent, they both looked at Ning Cheng but no longer spoke. Lou Hong Fang was thinking on how to begin, while Shi Pei Shan was thinking why did Ning Cheng not give an exin for this. Ning Cheng gave out a dark sigh in his heart, if he really had the Geocentric Spring Tea on him, he really would not have been stingy with it, but he does not have such a thing with him. As for letting him use his own blood to save the other two people, he was simply not so noble as that. What nobody noticed was, Huang Yuan Bos body was gradually shrivelling up, and the blood from his body was slowly seeping underground, disappearing from view. Rumble Rumble.... A burst of roar suddenly sounded inside the corridor, and the corridor in front of them immediately lit up. Ning Cheng at this moment did not have any interest in continuing to act as a team with the two people, with just a sh of light he disappeared from in front of them along the corridor. Why didnt you begin? From what I saw, that Ning Xiao Chengs cultivation is at most at Qi Gathering Realm. Huang Yuan Bo looked at Lou Hong Fang and Shi Pei Shan and asked. Shi Pei Shan coldly swept a nce at Lou Hong Fang and said, A moment ago I was truly hesitant, but I think that Ning Xiao Cheng certainly did not have the Geocentric Spring Tea on him, it is quite probable that he had alreadye here after drinking it. But.... Lou Hong Fang had only said a word when he was once again interrupted by Shi Pei Shan and said, I will myself go find the antidote to the poison in me, if I drank the blood of my saviour, then I, Shi Pei Shan, would have failed as a human. Saying that, she simply ignored Lou Hong Fang, she also did not realize that the ground was now littered with the dried bones of Huang Yuan Bo, and departed from the scene. Lou Hong Fang touched his own hair, and murmured something, It is indeed something difficult to do. ...... Ning Cheng came out of the now brightly lit corridor, and immediately saw a line of blood below his feet, this line of blood was actually flowing in the same direction, moreover it did not show even the smallest signs of stopping or withering. Ning Cheng looked around, and found that it was a very simple Array Formation. Looking in front of him he could see that there were many paths leading out, but this Array Formation was unexpectedly set up in the same direction in which the blood was flowing. At this time, he also did not hesitate for even half a moment, and directly followed in the direction of the blood line. After the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, Ning Cheng stopped in front of a huge pool of blood, there were various blood lines entering the huge blood pool feeding a constant supply of blood to it from all directions. But just above the blood pool sat a grey robed man, one could not determine his age, but looking at the Qi fluctuations that were emitting from his body, his cultivation level was definitely not low. Just as Ning Cheng was looking at this grey robed man, the grey robed man immediately expelled a blood line from one of his finger, this eruption of a blood line fell on a giant boulder at a distance and instantly smashed it apart. Ning Cheng took a look at the giant stone boulder, and saw that apart from being smashed to chunks, it waspletely dyed in a dark red colour. It turned out that the blood flowing out of the person was a result of his cultivation practice. Ning Cheng already had a strong intelligence and wisdom from his various experiences, and immediately chose to exit through the door that he came from, but he unexpectedly once again circled back to the blood pool. s, I have been trying to reduce my difficulties in my cultivation practice, and barely came out of the blood pool, even the peopleing here are getting less and less, it really is very awful. This grey robed man suddenly sighed. I think that there should be numerous copies of the map of the ruins of this Lan Yi Country, right? Ning Cheng asked in a tone that was neither fast nor slow. Chapter 0081 – The Perfect Moment Chapter 0081 C The Perfect Moment There truly are many maps, but they are not something that I made, it was made by the person who went out before. During his talk, this grey robed man picked up a skeleton from the blood pool underneath him Even though this skeleton had been soaking in the blood pool for a long time, it still had a pitch back colour, but what was shocking was that this skeleton was still emitting a faint pressure, making Ning Cheng immediately realize that the cultivation level of that skeleton when it was alive was definitely not low. Although this grey robed man spoke to Ning Cheng in a very polite way, it felt that he was speaking to himself rather than Ning Cheng, Just a single person is not enough. He had just finished speaking the words, when the wind around the chamber started churning, and a few shadowy figures fell down. Ning Cheng then saw Pei Guang He and Yu Xing, but as for the two others with them Ning Cheng did not know, but what he did sense was that one of the two had the cultivation level of True Condensation 7th Level, and the other one had a cultivation level of True Condensation 3rd Level. When the few people arrived, they all nced at Ning Cheng and then at the grey robed person sitting on top of the blood pool in a very surprised manner. This should be enough...... the grey robed man said, as he threw out a dozen Array gs one after another, and then said: Well, now no one woulde disturb us. Of the few people who came here, presumably your knowledge about Array Formations must be good, and thus you certainly would have a decent intelligence, the blood from the people having a good intelligence is the most suited thing for me to help me in advancing, everyone please enter the pool and help me advance in my level. Just as this grey robed man finished speaking, Ning Cheng suddenly felt a powerful suction force pulling on him, this powerful suction force was directly pulling him into the blood pool. Ning Cheng reacted very quickly, at this moment he understood in sh what was happening, this grey robed person actually depended on the blood lines flowing into the blood pool for his cultivation practice. Although he did not know the reason why he was doing it, but it seemed that he needed several people to enter the blood pool to help him in his cultivation practice. Ning Cheng understood that the blood pool beneath that man was the raw material for his cultivation practice, but Ning Cheng had no intention to enter the blood pool, and immediately tried to retreat with his full force, he wanted to get away from this powerful suction force. Ssh Just as Ning Cheng tried to retreat, he saw the man at the True Condensation 3rd Level getting pulled into the blood pool, after this man was pulled into this blood pool, there were only a few blood bubbles that popped through the surface, before the surface of this blood pool once again turned calm. The cultivator at the True Condensation 7th Level suddenly called out, This person doesnt dare to go look for a cultivator of the Essence Building Realm, his cultivation is not absolutely not that high, if we all fight desperate enough, we should be able to get out alive. If we dont resist at this time, then we will definitely die here. Just as he finished, he immediately took out a seal, Pei Guang He said, What this friend spoke is definitely true, we have to join hands together. While speaking, Pei Guang He had already taken out a Flying Sword and attacked with it. Yi Xing also did not say anything, and directly took out his eight sided hammer and sent it smashing towards the grey robed man. As for what the cultivator at the True Condensation 7th Level had taken out, it was a ck seal, this ck seal immediately expanded to the size of a huge boulder with a diameter of about 10 feet as it rushed towards the grey robed man. Once Ning Cheng was able to once again control his body, he also brought out a red Flying Sword and sent it forth to kill the grey robed man. He always had some doubts about Pei Guang He, so in his heart he was still maintaining a guard against Pei Guang He since the time that he met him. The grey robed man seeing the four people simultaneously attack him, suddenly gave a cold snort. He just lifted his skinny looking hands and grasped at the air, just as he made the grasping motion in the air front of him, the Artefacts headed towards him instantly stopped in the air and were even pushed back. You old thing, you and I are going to fight...... Yu Xing shouted, and suddenly threw the eight sided hammer once again. While in the meantime his figure quickly retreated. Ning Chengs heart missed a beat, he felt that this Yu Xings retreat was too fast, he himself was trying his best to control himself to stay in ce, so how was it possible for him to retreat with such speed? He always thought that Pei Guang He would be the one that he would have issues with, now it seems like this Yu Xing is also another person that he has to look against. Ning Cheng did not think anymore, and forcibly utilized his True Essence, and forcibly increased the distance between him and Yu Xing. Yu Xing did not seem to have noticed that Ning Cheng had widened the distance between them, but at this moment he took out a white Flying Sword, the moment he brought it out he immediately casted out a white sword curtain with the Flying Sword, and directed it towards the back of the cultivator at the True Condensation 7th Level. The cultivator at the True Condensation 7th Level was fully concentrating on controlling the ck seal, why would he even think that he would be sneak attacked by one of the people on the same side as him? After he realized it, he subconsciously diverted his attention to take care of the white sword curtain sneak attack behind him. He had actually forgotten about the blood pool in front of him, and because of this, the powerful suction force immediately began to pull on him. Although the cultivator at the True Condensation 7th Level was able to react to the attack, moreover he immediately knew that he wanted to kill him, but he also knew that if he fell into the blood pool then he would definitely die. This person was very decisive, since he found that he could no longer escape from the powerful suction force and would inevitably die in the blood pool, he simply decided to fly straight towards the blood pool, once he arrived above the blood pool, he spewed out a mouthful of his blood essence, therge ck seal that he was using to attack the grey robed man once again expanded suddenly. Ning Cheng immediately came to his senses, from his actions he knew that he wanted to blow up his Artefact. He did not hesitate anymore and quietly controlled the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle along with the red Flying Sword to attack, if he did not act at this time then when would he? The grey robed cultivator sneered, wanting to kill him by making the Artefact explode, it was just a dream. He just raised his hands, and immediately brought out a shield. He had not even started to utilized his shield when he felt an extremely fine needle Type Artefact piercing through his body and enter his Meridians. Not good, I was sneak attacked. This grey robed cultivator had just thought about it, when he felt all the Meridians in his body begin to hurt, an ice cold and freezing aura reached his Dantian as it quickly expanded throughout his body. He felt that if he did not do anything, then in a short period of time his Dantian would end uppletely destroyed. At this time the huge seal above the head of the grey robed cultivator was starting to blow up, because of this he immediately forced his True Essence to circte throughout his body, he knew that he had already been cornered by the sneak attack from Ning Chengs 7 Pleiades Ice Needle. Almost at the time that the True Condensation 7th Level cultivator was sneak attacked by Yu Xing, the True Condensation 7th Level Cultivator rushed towards the blood pool to prepare to explode with his Artefact, it was at this time that Ning Cheng used his 7 Pleiades Ice Needle to sneak attack the grey robed man, Pei Guang He also raised his hands and shot out a seal, without the influence from the grey robed man, that sealpletely wrapped around his body, and in just a twinkling of an eye he disappeared from the blood pool chamber. Have to say, the timing of this Pu Guang He was just right, not even waiting for half a moment. If it was any other person, even if he was in possession of a simr seal, it would be extremely rare for them to seize this kind of opportunity like Pei Guang He. Thump. The cultivator at the True Condensation 7th Level finally could not control his body, and fell into the blood pool, when he fell into the blood pool, it was the same as before, just a few blood bubbles popped through the surface before it became calm once again. Boom a huge exploding sound could be heard, as the big ck seal which was still expanding till now suddenly exploded. This powerful explosion forced the blood from the blood pool to rise up like a blood pir. Ning Cheng who had used his 7 Pleiades Ice Needle to attack the grey robed man, sted out a punch. This was not ordinary punch, but was the punch filled with hisprehension of the Killing Intent of the Great Axe. This Axe Fist filled with Killing Intent directly arrived and exploded on to the body of Yu Xing in a straight line. Yu Xing who had just sessfully sneak attacked that cultivator at the True Condensation 7th Level, did not have enough time to call back his Flying Sword, as such was stuck by Ning Chengs sneak attack. He absolutely had no chance of escape, and was directly hit on his back by the iing Axe Fist. As blood spurted out from his waist, Yu Xing staggered towards the direction of the blood pool, Ning Cheng immediately followed up, he did not wait for Yu Xing to start his counter attack, and immediately punched out once again. Yu Xings heart waspletely filled with hate, he did not think that Ning Cheng would react so quickly, moreover he was attacking him unceasingly, and had not attacked the grey robed person at all. Him wanting to take back his Artefact to block Ning Chengs attack was already very unrealistic, the only route for him was to enter the blood pool or be killed by Ning Chengs attack. Ssh Yu Xing did not think anymore and jumped into the blood pool. Just when Yu Xing had jumped into the blood pool, Ning Cheng brought out his real Artefact, the broken Spear that he had mounted on his back, bringing it out, he immediately casted out 22 Ice Spear Shadows, these 22 Ice Spear Shadows immediately connected with each other in just a twinkling of an eye and formed an ice. Ning Cheng did not wait for even half a moment, he was very clear about what would happen if he did not hurry to find a way out. Now that the Artefact of the cultivator at the True Condensation 7th Level had blown up, severely injuring the grey robed cultivator, if he did not seize this opportunity, then he really would be an idiot. The cloths of the grey robed cultivator had already disappeared, revealing his skinny stature. There was a huge bloody hole on the left side of his chest, even his face waspletely burnt ck by the explosion of the ck seal Artefact. With no cloths to cover his body, Ning Cheng could clearly see, that this grey robed cultivator really did not have any legs. If he did have them, then Ning Chengs 7 Pleiades Ice Needle and the explosion from the huge ck Seal Artefact of the cultivator at the True Condensation 7th Level, then he would have at most have suffered only some minor injuries. But at the moment, not only was seriously injured, but he also could not force out the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle in him. If Ning Cheng did not continue to attack him, then he would sooner orter be able to extract the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle, but with Ning Chengs precise attack timing, he did not even get a shred of a chance. The grey robed man had just raised up the hand that had the round shield, before he immediately stopped. Because the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle was still moving around in his bodys Meridians, which made the True Essence in his body was extremely slow, at the same time he felt his Dantian finally detonate. Because of 7 Pleiades Ice Needle attack on his Dantian, the Dantian of the grey robed cultivator instantly turned to ash. It was at this time that Ning Chengs 22 Ice Spear Shadowspletely fell on that persons body. Ka Ka.... An intermittent breaking sound was transmitted, as the grey robed cultivator under the continuous and precise attacks of the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle and the 36 Ice Spear Technique turned into an icicle, moreover just as his body turned into ice sculpture it immediately burst apart. Even in the instant before his death he still could not believe what had happened when he looked at Ning Cheng, in his eyes, although Ning Cheng was the first toe here, but the cultivation of Ning Cheng was the lowest, and he had thought that he would not have to care too much about him. In his final moment, he actually died at the hands of a cultivator who had the lowest cultivation out of all of them, it was not because of anything else, but his own negligence in thinking that he was the weakest among the rest. Not much of an interest, but still a lot of interest. Not only that, he had used his most powerful attack, not at the beginning like the others, but at thest moment to give him a fatal attack. Crash the grey robed person turned into a pile of ice shards notrger than small stones. Ning Cheng felt that the surrounding pressure began to lighten up, and sat down on the ground feeling very weak. At this moment he was very grateful to the cultivator at the True Condensation 7th Level. if not for him blowing up his Artefact before dying, he would have definitely not been able to kill that grey robed person. Chapter 0082 – My Only Family Chapter 0082 C My Only Family After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng finally restored almost 90% of his True Essence with the help of the Spirit Stones. The red Flying Sword that had fallen into the blood pool, Ning Cheng did not intend to get it back, he just raised his hands and recalled the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle. He did not know where this grey robed person had hidden his things, as he did not have a Storage Bag nor did he have any other storage devices. But Ning Cheng did not care much about the things of this grey robed cultivator, as this fellow used the blood of others for his cultivation practice, even if he found something, he knew that it would not be something that he would want to partake in. Up until this moment, he did not have the opportunity to look around the ce he was in. This ce had an area of several hundred square meters, but the entire surrounding walls were shrouded by an Array Formation, making it appear indistinct. In the middle of this ce was the giant pool of blood, just above this pool of blood was a bloody mist and a tform at the centre of the pool, which also made him not see the blood pool clearly. Using his Spiritual Sense to sweep through, he found that it was immediately blocked by an Array Formation. Ning Cheng carefully looked in all the directions, and confirmed that other than the blood pool, there did not seem to have any other way out. The path that he had used earlier toe in had already been sealed off by the grey robed man, and unless he had a Talisman like that of Pei Guang He, he would not be able to leave this ce. The only hope he had at this moment was the blood pool, otherwise the only other thing that he could do was to attack the Array Formation. Not to mention that Ning Cheng not only could not understand this Array Formation, even if he could understand it, he would not dare to attack it indiscriminately. As for the blood pool, Ning Cheng did not want to go in, when that cultivator in the True Condensation 7th Level entered the blood pool, only a few blood bubbles rose to the surface before popping, other than that there was no movement in the blood pool and it waspletely calm, it gave a really creepy feeling to Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng hovered on top of the blood pool for a few moments on his Flying Sword, and made sure that it was no longer trying to suck him in, once he confirmed it, he directly jumped from the Flying Sword and onto the middle of the tform on which the grey robed person was sitting on. With a wave of his hand, the residual bones on the tform were thrown into the blood pool. Then Ning Cheng using the Spear in his hands knocked on the tform, which emitted a clear ding ding sound. Is it hollow inside? Ning Cheng immediately became excited, although he did not care about the things of this grey robed man, but he did not know for how long this grey robed man had stayed in this ce. Since these ruins were genuine, then perhaps this grey robed man had collected and stored some of the things from the ruins inside. Ning Cheng did not spend much time pondering, and immediately started to look at the Array Formation that was traced out on the tform. He concluded that this was just a simple Sealing Array Formation, after that Ning Cheng immediately threw out several Array gs, and made a motion of lifting his hands, which raised the cover off from this tform. A long and narrow staircase appeared under Ning Chengs foot, Ning Cheng once again swept through it with his Spiritual Sense, certain that there were no problems, he started to descend the steps, while simultaneously covered the outside with the cover once again. He did not know where this staircase leads to, but it was very long. Ning Cheng had already been descending for half an hour, before he finally got off the steps, but what was in front of him was a corridor filled with gravel. Around the surrounding corridor, there were a few glowing stones suspended in air providing a dim visibility. Ning Cheng followed this trail and walked for almost an hour before arriving in front of a stone house with no doors. After confirming that this stone house did not pose any danger to him, Ning Cheng then entered this stone house, sitting in the middle of this stone house was a white skeleton. He did not know for how many years had this skeleton been sitting here, but he could still feel a formidable pressureing from it, this pressure was countless times more formidable that the pressure from the pitch ck skeleton that the grey robed man had pulled out of the blood pool. On both sides of this stone room, other than a stone table, there was only a stone picture frame. Whether it was the stone table or the stone picture frame, there was nothing on them. It was obvious that the people who hade before had already taken everything away. As Ning Cheng approached the skeleton, he somewhat suspected that this skeleton might even be of the cultivator of the legendary Sea Opening Realm. On the ground in front of the skeleton, Ning Cheng saw a row of small words, those who want to enter my door, first kowtow 49 times. Not to mention that Ning Cheng did not understand much of it, even the part that he did understand, he would not kowtow 49 times to a strange skeleton for no reason at all. Then Ning Cheng walked to wall, and with the Spear in his hands, aimed it just in front of small wordings in front of the skeletons foot and shot out a Spear Shadow. Boom When the Spear Shadow hit the ground it was aimed at with a boom, it immediately threw up an innumerable amounts of crushed stones, the skeleton also immediately broke apart suddenly, and a dense cluster of white bone arrows shot out towards him. Ning Cheng was shocked, and immediately punched out with his Axe Fist, it looked like these white bone arrows were countless years old, as such after being struck by the Axe Fist of Ning Cheng, they immediately lost their momentum and fell in front of him, they simply could not even hurt Ning Cheng a bit. Ning Cheng heaved a sigh, and then looked at the skeleton, that was lying, now broken, on the ground. It seems that him sting open the ground, and the skeleton falling to the ground, did seem to have some sort of connection. But Ning Cheng was not much disappointed with the oue, when he hade in, he knew that the first people who came in would have already cleared out the ce. At this time, a piece of the roof fell down, showing a huge hole in the roof, as yellow sand trickled down through this gaping hole in the roof. Ning Cheng was not surprised at this but rather he was happy, since there was yellow sand falling through the roof above, then it meant that he was definitely below the Thunder Fall Desert, all he had to do was to follow this sand upstream, and he would finally arrive above in the desert. A sharp cry came from the distant corridor, Ning Cheng immediately realized that this cry was issued by the young girl king called Xiu Xiu. He did not know how this woman entered this corridor, or if the cry wasing from somece else. If she had entered this corridor, then it meant that she had alsoe here after opening the Sealing Array Formation on the tform of the blood pool. But Ning Cheng did not want to go back, these ruins were very vast and spread out over arge area, moreover when he hade in, he had also felt a fresh breeze which did not feel right. These ruins were very strange, he did not want to continue with his idea to explore the ruins, at least not now since he found yellow sand falling from above. Before when Ning Cheng had fired off his Spear at the ground, it was because he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He was already now a Tier 2 Array Formation Master, so he could make out that there was a Concealment Array Formation on one of the crushed stones. He immediately picked up that crushed stone, and performed a few hand seals with his hand, and immediately an exquisite jade seal appeared in his hands. this exquisite jade seal was engraved with the words, Lan Yi Country. Whoa.... With more and more sand falling, Ning Cheng did not think anymore and immediately put the jade seal into his Storage Bag, grabbing the Spear he, at once, rushed into the falling sand. Under the operation of his True Essence, Ning Cheng began swimming upstream through the sand. One hour, two hours.... Even after quite a while passed, Ning Cheng was still moving upstream in the sand, at this moment Ning Cheng felt like he was still at the bottom of the sea of sand, with the end nowhere in sight. Fortunately, Ning Cheng was already a cultivator in the True Condensation Realm, otherwise if it was before, he would not be even able to breathe and would have suffocated to death a long time ago. After almost half a day, he stopped and rested a bit to restore his True Essence. After travelling for another half a day, Ning Cheng became aware that the pressure on the tip of the Spear was also loosening up, the next moment he then felt the pressure on his head also loosen up considerably. After the loose yellow sand finally rolled over, Ning Cheng gave out a long sigh, as he finally arrived on top of the desert once again. Ning Cheng did not stay at that ce to rest for even half a moment, before he immediately chose a direction and quickly departed from that ce. He wanted to leave this area as fast as possible, then find a safe ce to clean himself up, and to quietly replenish his True Essence. After travelling for an hour, Ning Cheng finally found a withered por tree, and decided to rest at that ce. Before deciding to rest, Ning Cheng swept out with his Spiritual Sense, at this time Ning Cheng could already use his Spiritual Sense to examine several tens of miles of area around him. At this moment, a dishevelled female cultivator emerged in his peripheral vision of his Spiritual Sense, this cultivators footsteps were staggering, it was obvious that she did not have much physical strength. Luo Fei? Ning Cheng almost instantaneously recognised this female cultivator, this female cultivator unexpectedly turned out to be Ji Luo Fei. Wasnt Ji Luo Fei in the Hua Continents Falling Star Academy? How could it be possible for her to appear in the Thunder Fall Desert? Ning Cheng did not think of anything else and immediately rushed out towards her. And in just a few short breaths, Ning Cheng already arrived in front of Ji Luo Fei. When Ji Luo Fei saw a silhouette of a person rushing towards her, she almost instinctively raised the Flying Sword in her hand and pointed it towards Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng simply lifted his hand, and lightly brushed away the Flying Sword in Ji Luo Feis hand. He did not wait for Ji Luo Fei to make the next move, as Ning Cheng directly grabbed Ji Luo Feis wrist and said, Luo Fei, just what exactly is going on with you, I am Ning Cheng. Didnt you already die? When Ji Luo Fei nced at the face of Ning Cheng, the crazy look in her eyes immediately calmed down, and she immediately fainted in the arms of Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng immediately took out the Spiritual Qi rich water that he had collected from the Spiritual Essence Pool, and fed it to Ji Luo Fei. Although his Storage Bag contained many pills, as these pills were his spoils from the various battles, but because he did not know what these pills exactly were, so he did not dare to take them out. Although Ji Luo Fei at the moment did not have much strength in her, but as long as she rested for while she should be able to wake up by herself. Ning Cheng took out a rope, and cing Ji Luo Fei securely on his back with the help of the rope, he decided to change ces and patiently wait for Ji Luo Fei to recover her strength. Ji Luo Fei was now already a student of the Falling Star Academy, but for such a person to rush into the desert by themselves, it would certainly involve some major matter. If she had not met him on time, then as long as she was to encounter any one of the desert whirlpools, she would be immediately gobbled up. Ning Cheng once again changed directions, as he simultaneously picked up his speed. Under the stirring of some of his True Essence, Ji Luo Fei finally woke up. When Ji Luo Fei opened her eyes, she saw that she was being carried on the back of a male cultivator, she immediately wanted to pull out her Flying Sword hanging from her waist to send out a chop from it. However just as she was about to pull her Flying Sword that was on her body, she immediately remembered seeing a familiar face before she fainted. Ning Cheng...... She called out as she put her trembling hands and gently caressed the scruff of Ning Cheng, even her voice was trembling as she spoke, Did we both finally die? When Ning Cheng felt Ji Luo Fei extremely gentle touch, he involuntarily shook, and was just about to speak, when he heard Ji Luo Fei continue speaking with a quivering voice, I am sorry, Ning Cheng. You had asked me to take revenge for you, I am sorry that I couldnt take revenge for you.... You are my only family, for me to die with you, I really am very happy.... Ji Luo Fei once again spoke a few words into Ning Chengs ear. Do not be nervous,e with me, follow me, listen to me. Luo Fei, you already know my qualifications, remember that after you leave, take revenge for me.... In her life no one had been this good to her, even if Ning Cheng had bullied her for more than 10 years, but as for that single happy day in her life, she knew that she would never be able to forget it for the rest of her life. In her entire life Ning Cheng was the only one to use his life in exchange for hers, at that time she had not wanted to leave Ning Cheng behind, but she did not have any other choice. Unfortunately, before she died, she could not help Ning Cheng in carrying out his desire for revenge. Ning Cheng suddenly felt bitter in his heart, he really had not done anything for Ji Luo Fei, before he hade out of the prison, he knew that his predecessor had continuously bullied Ji Luo Fei for many years. But even then this woman still regarded him as his only family,pared to the things what Ji Luo Fei had done for him, Ning Cheng felt really ashamed of himself from the bottom of his heart. Although on the surface Ji Luo Fei did not look like she cared much for him, but she had secretly fought while putting her life on the line in the Fighting Pot to win a Qi Gathering Stone, just for the sake of allowing him to be able to finally cultivate. Chapter 0083 – I’m Not A Fool Chapter 0083 C Im Not A Fool Ning Cheng was just about to speak, when he once again unexpectedly found a person, moreover it was not just a single person, but rather it was a group of four people. Hey, you let that little fish escape again, this time more than once ...... A hoarse voice spoke in a surprised tone. Lou Fei, are these the people that chased you? Ning Cheng stared at the four cultivators in front of him and asked her, of the four people in front of him two of them were at True Condensation 1st Level, one at True Condensation 2nd Level while thest person was at Peak Stage Qi Gathering 9th Level. What.... Ji Luo Fei did not seem to understand, and for a moment forgot to reply to Ning Chengs words, since she was just chased down and killed by these people, so how could they be back? That cultivator at the True Condensation 2nd Level did not move, but said to the other three people, Kill that man first, then well leave with the woman, we have already stayed for 6 months in this damn desert, she is already a faded out bird. The two of you be careful to not kill her, although her face is ugly but she really has a damn good figure. The other three did not need the cultivator at the True Condensation 2nd Level to speak, since they had already blocked off Ning Cheng, one of the cultivators at the True Condensation 1st Level immediately jumped into the air, and raised his hands in order to grasp Ning Chengs head within it. Although Ji Luo Fei had still not replied to Ning Chengs question, he knew that she was being chased by these four people since before, immediately bringing out his Spear he simultaneously shot out many Spear Shadows,pletely enveloping the three people. The yellow sand in front of him immediately turned into a sheet of ice emanating an intense chill, as more than 20 Ice Spear Shadows instantly connected together to form a huge Ice Spear Net, that wrapped around the three cultivators,pletely trapping them within the Spear Net. Poof Ning Cheng just casually leapt ahead of the cultivator of the True Condensation 1st Level who had tried to pounce on him, at this moment he simply did not even have the ability to resist even for a slightest moment, before he was directly shattered into countless ice fragments after being struck once more by one of the Ice Spear Shadow. He is not a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 7th Level....... the other True Condensation 1st Level cultivator had just spoken out when he was immediately bound by more than a dozen Ice Spear Shadows, he only had the time to take out his single edged knife Artefact, but before he could even use his Artefact, he was instantly pierced by a dozen of the Ice Spear Shadows. A dozen arrows of blood shot out from his body, and instantly froze into a dozen bloody icicles. Although Ning Cheng had brought out more than 20 Spear Shadows, but he had only used them on the two cultivators of the True Condensation Realm, as for that cultivator in the Qi Gathering 9th Level, Ning Cheng did not waste a Spear Shadow on him, but rather he just threw out a punch. Although that cultivator at the Qi Gathering 9th Level reacted quickly, but the Axe Type Killing Intent from the fist that he had punched out directly bound him, even if could react even more quickly, in front of this kind of strength, he was simply akin to floating clouds. Bang Although this Qi Gathering 9th Level cultivator was able to bring out a shield to protect himself, but in front of Ning Chengs Axe Fist, it was just like a thin paper, that broke in a twinkling. As Ning Chengs Axe Fist detonated on the body of the Qi Gathering 9th Level Cultivator, he immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood, as he was sent flying several yards back, but by the time he fell to the ground, he was already a corpse. The True Condensation 2nd Level Cultivator who was standing at a distance, already had enough time to react, and at this time he was holding a glowing long blue hook shaped Artefact in his hands as he stared at Ning Cheng. I never thought that you would turn out to be cultivator in the True Condensation Realm, since you really are a cultivator of the True Condensation Realm, for such a problem to ur is just a misunderstanding, just let it go, and in the future we will not meet each other again. The cultivator at the True Condensation 2nd Level spoke, as he simultaneously started to retreat while keeping a close eye on Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng knew that the reason why he was saying those words was because of the Profound Grade 36 Ice Spears Technique, even if he did not recognise that it was a Profound Level technique, he could easily guess that he was not Ning Chengs opponent, and even showed that he was afraid of him. But Ning Cheng was not even interested in talking with him, and immediately swept out 22 Ice Spear Shadows again, these Ice Spear Shadows at once formed a vast Spear Net once again and directly sealed up the cultivator at the True Condensation 2nd Level in it. Since this cultivator at the True Condensation 2nd Level was alert all the time, so when he saw Ning Cheng make his move, he also immediately resorted to the long blue hook in his hands. But just as he decided to use the long blue hook in his hands, he couldnt even use it to defend himself before it was sucked away by a giant mouldy copper coin. This cultivator at the True Condensation 2nd Level could only watch helplessly as the Ice Spear Shadows plunged into his body. He was already grasping a Talisman in his hands and had even charged it up with his True Essence to 50%, but this cultivator at the True Condensation 2nd Level could never have dared to believe that he would end up dying so quickly. He originally wanted to use the long blue hook Magic Weapon to block Ning Chengs Ice Spear Shadows, and then use the charged up Level 3 Thunderbolt Talisman in his hands. In his view, even if his Thunderbolt Talisman could not kill Ning Cheng, it would have at least severely injured him. Although the Level 3 Thunderbolt Talisman was precious, butpared to his poor life, and in front of a Profound Grade Spear Technique, this Thunderbolt Talisman was not worth mentioning. He had thought about innumerable things, but he had never once thought that he wouldnt even have enough time to charge his Thunderbolt Talisman. Not only his long blue hook Artefact could not block the Ice Spear Shadows, it was instead pulled away by his opponent. Ning Cheng lifted his hand and the Five Elemental Treasure Fall Coins immediately fell onto it, simultaneously bing secretly shocked in his heart, these mouldy coins really were something to be scared of. He had only refined just a singleyer of Restriction on them, and it was already this powerful, once he refined all the Restrictions on it, then wouldnt it mean that as long as the opponents Artefact was made from the five elements, he could easily snatch them? Fortunately, he still had the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle, otherwise he would have definitely have died back at that time because of this Five Elemental Treasure Fall Coins. Even if he did not use these Five Elemental Treasure Fall Coins a moment ago, he still believed that he would have been able to take care of this cultivator at the True Condensation 2nd Level albeit it would have taken a bit more time than usual. But because of the help from the Coin Artefact, this kind of thing became too simple. Ning Cheng, we .... Ji Luo Fei who was still on Ning Chengs back, called out with a trembling voice, she felt that something was not right, just what was going on? She had not died yet, but then if she had not died, then how could she have met Ning Cheng? Moreover, how could Ning Cheng be this formidable and be able to kill all those 4 powerful cultivators in under one breath? Ning Cheng just turned his head slightly towards Ji Luo Fei and smiled, Luo Fei, I dont know how you arrived at the Thunder Fall Desert from the Hua Continent, but you do not need to worry anymore. We are both alive and well, and are certainly not dead. Ji Luo Fei subconsciously pinched him with her hand, for a moment she had forgotten that she was still holding onto the scruff of Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng immediately felt a bit pain, as he grimaced and said, Luo Fei, you are pinching me. Ji Luo Fei did not hear what Ning Cheng said, and subconsciously embraced Ning Chengs neck, and immediately began to cry out loud. She was not d that she had not died, but rather she was d that Ning Cheng did not die. Ning Cheng stretched out his hand back and patted Ji Luo Feis back and said, The living should be happy, dont cry. While he said those words he was feeling somewhat strange in his heart, in his original memories, Ji Luo Fei never ever cried because of anything, thus for him this was the first time he saw Ji Luo Fei crying. Ning Cheng saw that Ji Luo Fei did not seem to hear him, and quickly asked again, Luo Fei, just what the hell happened? I remember that when you left Cang Qin Province, you had already advanced to the Qi Gathering 4th Level, right? So howe you are only at Qi Gathering 5th Level now? Moreover, why did youe to the Thunder Fall Desert? Ji Luo Feis qualifications and talent were not bad, before when she was cultivating in the Cang Qin Academy, she was doing so without having ess to any of the resources, but even then Luo Fei was able to advance to the peak of Qi Gathering 3rd Level. So it stood for good reason that when her paternal aunt Ji Yao He brought her to the Hua Continents 5 Star Academy, she could easily have a variety of cultivation resources and even guidance from different teachers, and as such should have long since broken into theter stages of the Qi Gathering Realm. This was whenparing to An Yi, who had always been together with him, as her cultivation speed was much faster than Ji Luo Feis. Ji Luo Fei just tightly hugged Ning Cheng, and did not reply to Ning Chengs words. Which made Ning Cheng helpless, he could only tidy up the several things of the cultivators that he had killed, after doing that he carried Ji Luo Fei and rapidly departed. After a long time, Ji Luo Fei who was still on Ning Chengs back spoke, I am sorry, Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng once again turned to look at Ji Luo Fei as he smiled and said, Luo Fei, you do not have to apologize for anything, if you would have note back for me, then I would have long since died. Ning Cheng knew, that if Ji Luo Fei had not promptlye to pick him from the prison entrance, then as to what kind of fate would he have, it really would not be something very difficult to predict. On that day when I was carrying you, I did not care much if you lived or died, it was only because I was sorry for Grandpa Ning, I am sorry.... Ji Luo Fei was talking in a very small voice, as if she was rebuking herself. Initially when she had been carrying Ning Cheng on her back, she had wholeheartedly thought that Ning Cheng was already dead, even when afterwards Ning Cheng revived on her back, she still did not have a shred of astonishment or surprise on her. For her, at that time whether Ning Cheng was dead or alive, it really did not matter to her for even half a moment. If Ning Cheng was alive, she would look after him, if Ning Cheng was dead, she would bury him. Ning Cheng was silent for a moment and then said, Luo Fei, you should not me yourself, before I was always hard on you, for you to not care about me is normal. No. Ji Luo Fei immediately denied Ning Chengs words and said, I only realized thister that you are the only one best for me, after Grandfather passed away, no one had ever been good to me like this other than you. Ning Cheng felt really ashamed of himself and absentmindedly scratched his head and said, Luo Fei, you should not think like this. In case you meet a person with bad intentions, they will always pretend to be good to you at first, you should really not think like this, otherwise you will really fall into their trap. He did not know how should he exin this to Ji Luo Fei, as Ji Luo Fei was person who could easily be swindled. He himself knew that he had never done much for her in her life other than his predecessor tormenting and bullying her. If she saw someone being good to her even once, she would immediately give herself wholeheartedly to that person. Such an idea was very dangerous. Although the time that the present Ning Cheng had been living with Ji Luo Fei was shorter than what she had spent with him, but he had alreadye to realize that this person here was really simple and honest in nature. Ji Luo Fei was silent for a long time, before she spoke in a low voice, I am not a fool. She understood the meaning behind Ning Chengs words, but Ning Cheng could not understand what she meant. Ning Cheng sighed, he did not continue this line of thought and asked, Luo Fei, even you know that even an Essence Building Realm cultivator would have a tough time in the Thunder Fall Desert, arent you clear that lightning can intermittently fall on you? You are only at Qi Gathering 5th Level, for you toe to the Thunder Fall Dessert, I really do not know what to say to you. Ji Luo Fei still did not speak, how could she not know that with her strengthing to the Thunder Fall Dessert would be akin to suicide? But where else could she go? For a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 5th Level, just where in the world could she go? Even if she left the Falling Star Academy, she knew that if she did not find a safe ce for herself, then at most she would only be able to survive for a few more years. If it was before, then she had nned to go to the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy and then help Ning Chen escape from that ce, she had thought of trying to find a few cultivation resources along the way to continue with her cultivation, and then head out to find her parents. But after that day, she was continuously thinking about Ning Cheng more and more as Ning Chengs shadow continued to grow in her heart. The only person willing to die for her, was her fianc. As for finding her long lost parents, she knew that the chance for that happening were very slim. But she knew that Ning Cheng was still in the Cang Qin Province, moreover she knew that once she left, Ning Chengs chances of surviving were very slim. She had wanted to go back to the Cang Qin Province to look for Ning Cheng when she woke up on the airship, but she found that she had already left the Ping Continent by that time, although it had happened she still wished to go back to find him. If she was able to cross the Thunder Fall Desert, then she thought she would then have a chance to return back to the Cang Qin Province. If she ended up dying in the Thunder Fall Dessert, then at least she would still be closer to the Cang Qin Province. Nobody knew what thoughts were going through her mind, and she also did not tell anyone about it. Chapter 0084 – That Busy Body Grandma Chapter 0084 C That Busy Body Grandma Seeing that Ji Luo Fei did not want to speak, Ning Cheng also did not continue to ask questions, as he kept thinking of Ji Luo Feis words. Ji Luo Fei said that since her Grandfathers death, no one had been good to her. But thinking it over, didnt her being together with him not been not good for her? It was only possible for Ji Luo Fei to feel moved towards him because when they had tried to escape back at the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, they were blocked by two cultivators at the Late Stages of the Qi Gathering Realm, and at that point he wanted to let Ji Luo Fei to escape first. If that really was the case, then he was very ashamed about it. It was pretty obvious at that time that if they could not escape from there, both of them would have ended up dead. The reason he had asked Ji Luo Fei to go ahead first, was just in case, out of a million chances, he might be able to hold up against them, although he knew that he would not be able to block even one of the two Qi Gathering Cultivators for even half a minute, once Ji Luo Fei escaped first. Luo Fei, if you are thinking about the day we tried to escape, then regardless of if we were able to escape or not, if not for your paternal aunt who arrived in time to save us, then I was pretty sure that we would have ended up dead. At that time my strength truly would in no way be able to stop the two men and let them take you away, and moreover, no matter what I did you also did not want to go. After Ning Cheng thought about it, he spoke up in a simple way to clear things up. Star shaped por tree.... He did not even wait for Ji Luo Fei to reply, before Ning Cheng immediately stopped and called out in surprise. This star shaped por tree was exactly the sixth mark on the desert map that he had given to Tai Shu Shi, if one wanted to find the right direction, then all they had to do walk in the opposite direction of thergest angle. If one walked straight ahead in that direction for about three days, then they would be able to see a small desert oasis. We will rest for a bit here. Ning Cheng said as he put down Ji Luo Fei. Having found a new marking point on the map, Ning Cheng was really relieved, as long as he knew the correct path on which to walk on, the danger would be absolutely minimal. In just a short period of time Ning Cheng erected a simple tent and said, Luo Fei, you go into the tent to rest, I will keep a lookout on the surroundings, and then take a break.... Ji Luo Fei had only exhausted her strength, and did not have any other injuries. Ji Luo Fei looked at Ning Cheng for a while, and then she touched Ning Chengs face, and said something that even she found inexplicable, I will not leave you. Ji Luo Fei then looked into the tent, as Ning Cheng shook his head helplessly, after he cleaned himself in a bit, he also changed into another set of cloths. Then started to arrange an Array Formation around the tent, just as Ning Cheng finished arranging the Array Formation around the tent, Ji Luo Fei also came out from inside the tent. Her face was still the same as before, and was filled with many unsightly scars, but Ning Cheng actually felt that the Ji Luo Fei now and the one from before werepletely different. Although she was still wearing the same clothes, but she did use clean water to clean her hair, she had then rearranged her hair into a beautiful bun, Ning Cheng at this time knew that her hair was very beautiful, but he did not know what exactly she had done with her hair to make that beautiful bun. The dress she was wearing was also torn up but was tied up into a neat knot, showing her slender waist, which was extremely pure looking and beautiful. It was evident that Ji Luo Fei, even under limited conditions, still paid attention to her appearance. Looking back into his memory, Ning Cheng remembered that Ji Luo Fei had never intentionally dressed up this desirably. Although she had not intentionally dressed up like this, but even Ning Cheng could not describe the feelings that he was feeling at the moment. But the most obvious change was not the change in her clothes or her hair, but rather her entire person seemed to be different from before, it was not something that could be seen. If one had to describe it, then before she was like a stagnant pool of water but now she was a freely flowing spring. Luo Fei, you shouldve dressed like this before, I think that the you now is even more beautiful. Ning Cheng praised her from the bottom of his heart. Ji Luo Fei seemed to be secretly relieved, with her face slightly red, she whispered to him, Ning Cheng, you can alsoe in. Good, I also have some things that I want to ask you. Ning Cheng said as he hurried into the tent following Ji Luo Fei. I have lost my bag, and do not have any other cloths. Ji Luo Fei said as she entered the tent in order to exin to him why she was wearing her clothes in such a fashion. Your paternal aunt is a cultivator at the Essence Building Realm, why did she not give you a Storage Bag? Even if she did not give you a Storage Bag, you should have been given at least a Storage Pocket, right? Ning Cheng frowned and asked. Ji Luo Fei said in a gentle tone, The things that my aunt gave me, I have already left them back with my aunt. But why? Does your aunt not know that you came to the Thunder Fall Desert? Ning Cheng blurted out. Ji Luo Fei remained silent, Ning Cheng did not need an answer to know that something had went wrong between them. Ning Cheng instantly understood what was happening, it seemed that Ji Luo Fei and her aunt had some kind of unpleasant thing happen between them, this kind of matter it was better to not ask about it. Originally Ning Cheng was considering about whether to tell Ji Luo Fei about Xiong Qi Hua, but now that he understood that something unpleasant happened to Ji Luo Fei and her paternal aunt, he immediately decided to not speak about those matters. It was to not hurt Ji Luo Fei even more. Come here and sit down. Ning Cheng said as he took out two chairs and ced them on the ground. After Ji Luo Fei sat down, it immediately became silent between the two. Ji Luo Fei was never good with words, so she did not know what to say. But as for Ning Cheng, he actually very much wanted to ask why Ji Luo Fei had left the Hua Continent, but thinking about how she had not answered many of the times he had asked before, he guessed that it might me something sad, so he also did not know what to say. Ning Cheng, just how did your cultivation be so high? Ji Luo Fei finally broke the silence. Ning Cheng did not hide anything, and immediately narrated about how he escaped Cang Le City, as well as how he met An Yi, and then arrived at Mingot City. Speaking about the things that happened to him along the way, he also mentioned the Spiritual Essence Spring that he had found during his trip through the Daan Forest, and also exined how it was because of it that his cultivation also advanced a lot. Other than the Mysterious Yellow Bead and the matter rting to Ji Luo Feis mother, Ning Cheng spoke about everything else. He believed that Ji Luo Fei would not just casually talk about this matter with anyone, moreover some of these things were also known by An Yi. In Ning Chengs heart, Ji Luo Fei was much closer to him than An Yi, although An Yi knew some of the things, but at least he did not have to conceal such thing with Ji Luo Fei. After all, he and Ji Luo Fei were still a betrothed couple, which they had not yet absolved till now. Ji Luo Fei, who was gripping her hands tight listening to Ning Chengs narration, finally rxed a bit. It was only until Ning Cheng said that he had juste out of the ruins of the Lan Yi Country and met her, did she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Ning Cheng had obtained hundreds of Spirit Stones, even her heart started to pound heavily. Even in the Hua Continent, her paternal aunt had only given her, at most, a few dozen Spirit Stones. But as for those Spirit Stones, she had already given them back to her paternal aunt. But then when she heard that Ning Cheng had, even at one time, obtained thousands of Spirit Stones, she had almost gone numb from the shock. As Ning Cheng finished speaking, he also remembered that he had also obtained the Imperial Jade Seal, but at the moment he did not intend to take it out and examine it. This was not a safe ce, if even the slightest aura from the Imperial Jade Seal leaked out, then it would invite trouble for them. Ning Cheng took out a Storage Bag, this Storage Bag already had a thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones, Ning Cheng also took out a double edged Flying Sword and put several sets of his own cloths into the Storage Bag. Lou Fei, this is for you. They only have my clothes at the moment, so you will have to wait until we reach the Hua Continent, then you can buy the clothes that you need. Ning Cheng said as he handed the Storage Bag to Ji Luo Fei, he was worried that Ji Luo Fei, just like her paternal aunts Storage Bag, would also not want it. Hmmm. Contrary to what Ning Cheng expected, Ji Luo Fei did not even hesitate even for a moment and took the Storage Bag from Ning Cheng, then tying the Storage Bag around her waist, she did not even say a word of thanks. Ning Cheng felt relieved, as for that Storage Bag, he already had lots of them with him. At the moment, not only Ji Luo Feis cultivation was poor, she also did not have sufficient cultivation resources, and was only able to achieve this level due to the Cultivation Method that she cultivated in. Luo Fei, do you know what your Spiritual Roots are? Ning Cheng also had a Profound Grade Water Type Cultivation Method and a Profound Grade Earth Type Cultivation Method. If Ji Luo Fei did not have a water type or an earthen type Spiritual Root, then he had decided to look for a suitable more powerful Cultivation Method for her. I have a water and fire dual Main Spiritual Root, but my Main Spiritual Root is more deviated towards the Water Spiritual Root. Ji Luo Fei replied when she was asked about her Spiritual Roots by Ning Cheng. But then she immediately thought about Ning Chengs Spiritual Roots. She knew that Ning Chengs Spiritual Roots were very poor, even if he encountered many miraculous opportunities, just how was he able to cultivate this fast? Ning Cheng then pped his hands and said whileughing, Thats great, I just happened to have a Profound Grade Water Type Cultivation Method, from now on you do not have to practice the Cultivation Method you are using till now, you can directly use this Profound Grade Water Type Cultivation Method. Saying that, Ning Cheng took out a Jade Piece and handed it to Ji Luo Fei and said, Whether you are able to read the contents in this Jade Piece or not, does not matter, since we already have a rtionship since early, I will help to teach it to you, and soon you would be able to leave me behind in dust. Yes. Ji Luo Fei said, at this moment she did not understand the significance of a Profound Grade Cultivation Method, but what she did know was that it should be much more powerful than the Cultivation Method that she had been cultivating in. Luo Fei, you already have a thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones in your Storage Bag,ter you can use those Spirit Stones for your cultivation. With your qualifications, you will certainly reach the True Condensation ....... Hearing Ning Cheng say that he had already put 1,000 Spirit Stones in the Storage Bag, Ji Luo Fei immediately became stunned and stood up in shock. Even among the core students of the Falling Star Academy, there were only a handful of students in the True Condensation Realm that had a worth of a few hundred to a thousand Spirit Stones, and almost all of them had very influential family backgrounds. As she had dual Spiritual Root, although she had quite a good treatment in the Falling Star Academy but inparison to those people it was a lot worse. Moreover, if she wanted to remain in the Academy and study then she would also have to earn the money for it, for that she would have to take up a number of tasks, but since she had only arrived at the Falling Star Academy recently, so she did not have the chance to pick up any of the tasks to earn Spirit Stones. Ning Cheng, my qualifications are better than you, so it would be better if you keep the Spirit Stones for your use. Ji Luo Fei quickly started taking out the Spirit Stones. Moreover, she was even not clear about the fact that the Profound Grade Cultivation Method was countless times much more valuable than just a mere 1000 Low Grade Spirit Stones. But Ning Cheng just patted his own Storage Bag and said, I already have several thousands of Spirit Stones with me, you do not need to worry about it. Now can you tell me why you came alone to the Thunder Fall Desert. Seeing Ji Luo Fei a bit calmer than before, Ning Cheng knew that this time she would definitely answer if he asked. Ji Luo Fei simply lowered her head, and spoke as if she was lost, My aunt insisted that I marry into the Shui n, which is one of the seven great ns of the Hua Continent, but I did not agree. I wanted to go back to the Cang Qin Province to see you, so I entered the Thunder Fall Desert by myself.... That busy body grandma...... Ning Cheng spoke in an angry voice. Chapter 0085 – You Lied To Me Chapter 0085 C You Lied To Me What is a busy body grandma? Ji Luo Fei asked Ning Cheng as she could not understand it when she heard Ning Cheng call her paternal aunt a busy body grandma. Ning Cheng just smiled lightly and quickly changed the subject, Didnt your paternal aunt tell you about other things, I heard that a 6 Star Academy would be established in the Hua Academy, and would be selected from a tournament between the five 5 Star Academies? Dont you know about this matter. Ji Luo Fei nodded her head and said, Yes, there is indeed such a thing, this tournament not only will take into the ount of the overall strength of the Hua Continents five 5 Star Academies, but it will also take into consideration even the underlying strength and influence of those five 5 Star Academies. The resulting decision will be based on the potential strength and overall strength. This potential strength is determined by the five disciples from the True Condensation Realm from each of the five 5 Star Academies, who will take part in all the rounds of the tournament. So the one with the good results will not be chosen to go to an Intermediate ss Continent? Ning Cheng quickly asked again, these were the words that he wanted to ask. He had the Clear Sky 5 Star Academys Command Medallion, if he could join the 5 Star Academy, he believed that he could quickly reach the Late Stages of the True Condensation Realm, and improve his strength dramatically. This tournament did notpare the real strength of the strong and the weak, so even if his strength was just good enough, then he could obtain a position in the 5 Star Academy, and if he could also go to an Intermediate ss Continent, then that really would be a lucky thing. Ning Cheng already knew that if he wanted to cultivate to a higher realm, then remaining in a Lower ss Continent would simply not work, the only way that this kind of thing would be possible was if he went to an Intermediate ss or an Advanced ss Continent, only then would he have the opportunity to advance to a higher realm. I am not very clear on that, as I only stayed at the Falling Star Academy for a just short time, most of my time was spent here in the Thunder Fall Desert. I only heard that the top few people would receive a very handsome reward, other than that....... Ning Cheng once again interrupted Ji Luo Feis words and said, Luo Fei, you are only at Qi Gathering 5th Level, how were you able to survive in this Thunder Fall Desert for so long? Also how could youe here alone? Ji Luo Feis eyes revealed a trace of sadness as she replied, When I was walking through this Thunder Fall Desert, I was able to meet a kind hearted man, they were also forced out of the continent by their enemies, and were making their way to the Yuan Continent. I had been together with them since, they seem to know about a safer route, and with the help of it we were able to walk for a couple of months in this desert, moreover we did not encounter much danger. But three days ago, we met a sand dragon....... When Ning Cheng heard about this, he immediately knew that their situation had turned bad. Initially the reason why he had deviated from his position all those days ago was because he was also sucked up by a passing yellow sand dragon. Meanwhile he sighed in his heart, this kind of family migration was prettymon in this world. Once you offended a powerful person, then if they did not hide immediately from them, then the only way to escape from them was to risk migrating to another continent. Back when he was still living in the Ning n that year, didnt he hear such a thing happening to Ji n? That sand dragon was very terrible, and as a result all of us separated, I followed a few people but we had already deviated from the original path. Afterwards, we met with a few rogue cultivators, they were the four people that you killed before. After they blocked our way forward, we immediately ran away in different directions to escape. Maybe it was because I had a disfigured face, along with my low cultivation level, moreover they were also a bit shorthanded, which unexpectedly helped me escape from them. Then I crazily ran in a particr direction, I always felt that this was the direction that I had to go in. Afterwards, I really met you.... Ji Luo Feis tone was very low, it was clear that she was worried about that good man who had helped her. Ning Cheng did not know how tofort Ji Luo Fei, so he once again changed the subject and asked, Luo Fei, I want to ask you about a person from the Falling Star Academy, is it possible that you know this person called Meng Yu Jing? For Ji Luo Fei to know about Meng Yu Jing, Ning Cheng did not have much hope for it. The Falling Star Academy had many people in it, moreover Ji Luo Fei did not spend much time in the Falling Star Academy, so for her to not know about Meng Yu Jing was also normal. Ji Luo Fei looked at Ning Cheng in a puzzling way and replied, How do you know her? Meng Yu Jing is not only a student of the Falling Star Academy, but is also one of the core disciples of the Academy. She has the cultivation level of True Condensation 7th Level and is also one of the personal disciples of the Profound Core Realm Dean, she is also the only disciple of the three disciples of the Profound Core Realm Dean that I have seen so far. Didnt I tell you before that in the Daan Forest I had met Kou Hong, he wanted me to pass something to Meng Yu Jing through me, but I actually do not know who this Meng Yu Jing is. Ning Cheng exined. ...... After the two people started to talk to each other, Ning Cheng was finally able to glimpse into Ji Luo Feis heart, this woman really was very kind and also full of gratitude. Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei only rested there for a day before they packed up and left. Now that Ji Luo Fei had finally found Ning Cheng, it was obvious that she would return to the Hua Continent together with Ning Cheng. As for the matter rting to her parents, she decided to wait till her cultivation was high enough, and only then would she make a trip to the Daan Forest to find them. Along the way, Ning Cheng constantly taught her the mnemonic chants of the Cultivation Method to Ji Luo Fei. Ji Luo Fei was already at Qi Gathering 5th Level, and at the moment was only focusing on cultivating her Spiritual Sense. Moreover, Ning Cheng also had many Spirit Stones with him, and did not hide anything from her, and as a result Ji Luo Fei was able to progress very quickly. Three dayster, Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei arrived at a small oasis, at this time Ji Luo Fei was already able to manifest a sliver of her Spiritual Sense. Ning Cheng recalled from the map that originally this small oasis was marked as a medium sizedke, and thiske was encircled with lots of Jujube (Date) Trees along with Red Willow Trees. However, when Ning Cheng finally arrived here, they found that the Jujube and the Red Willow Trees had already disappeared. Even theke had turned into a small pool notrger than a big bathtub. Whats wrong? Ji Luo Fei saw Ning Cheng stopped walking forward, and asked in a puzzling way. Ning Cheng pointed to the sand pit in front of them and said, From the map that I had obtained, this oasis had been existing for countless years, and has never dried up, but then howe is it dried up when we came here? Ji Luo Fei had not yet answered, when a heavy Spiritual Qi emerged,ing from below the sand pit. This Qi...... Ji Luo Fei also could feel the rich and strong Qi, and looked in surprise at Ning Cheng. But Ning Cheng was staring at the sand pit where the Spiritual Qi was getting more and more concentrated, and was already preparing to enter this sand pit to have a look. Since the Spiritual Qi here was so rich, so it was quite possible that this sand pit may even have some good things. There seemed to be only a few people traveling through this path, otherwise the good thing here, would have very likely been carried off by them a long time ago. Ji Luo Fei also certainly understood that there must be some kind of treasure due to the emergence of such a dense and rich Spiritual Qi. When Ning Cheng heard Ji Luo Feis words he immediately stopped himself from going forward and asked, Luo Fei, you said that you followed the other people into the Thunder Fall Desert, then is it possible that they showed the map of the Thunder Fall Desert to you too? Ji Luo Fei simply said, Thats right, we had walked for a couple of months together, and did not meet any danger, so they should have the correct map. But this path is probably not the map that we followed. Ning Cheng frowned, although Thunder Fall Desert is iparably dangerous, but due to the passage of innumerable years, there still have been many low levelled cultivators who were able to pass through the Thunder Fall Desert. The maps that these lower levelled cultivators had were obviously not the same. If they were the same, then they would have been able to secure their paths, and helped the others toe out safely. Moreover, with the oasis here, people would have definitelye to know about it. Since, theoretically speaking, others knew about this ce, why would they wait for so many years. When they arrived here, did they not feel such a rich and strong Spiritual Qi here? Why did they note and collect the treasure from here? In this desert, the number of mystical things were too many, if one did not have enough strength to obtain it, then they could only forget about. Just like that mysterious North Jue Tribe, even to this day Ning Cheng still did not know just where the tribe was located. Luo Fei, lets go. Ning Cheng gave up on jumping into the sand pit to go find the treasure, he just turned around and spoke to Ji Luo Fei and started to move away from there. At this time, the sand pit in front of them suddenly started to cave in all around them, the ce that it started to cave in was also quite near to the ce where Ning Cheng was just standing in, just as it started to cave in, two pitch ck withered looking palms emerged and moved to grab onto the legs of Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei. Ning Cheng knew at once that it was not going to end in a good way, just as the two withered pitch ck palms emerged, almost at the same time he grabbed onto Ji Luo Fei and threw her out of the sand pit and shouted, Luo Fei, quickly leave. Saying that, he immediately threw out his broken Spear Artefact. He immediately used up almost the entire strength that he could muster and struck out with it, without any reservations. Boom The Spear struck the palm of the pitch ck withered hand, and immediately dyed it for a bit, as Ning Cheng spouted a mouthful of blood, and flew out tumbling by borrowing the strength of the recoil. Just as Ning Cheng borrowed the power of the recoil, the original pitch ck withered hand that was moving towards Ji Luo Fei caught up to him. With a formidable strength, it pulled Ning Cheng towards its other counterpart. Ning Cheng did not know if he would be able to break free from those pitch ck withered hands, he knew that he did not have any other choice. At this moment, he did not hesitate for even a moment as he threw out all the Artefacts he had, except for his Spear Artefact, towards the palm. He was going with the approach that the True Condensation 7th Level cultivator had done in the Lan Yi Countrys ruins,pletely stirring up his True Essence, he simultaneously crazily burnt up his own essence and blood. Boom Boom Boom.... several explosions sounded in session, and the withered palm gripping onto Ning Cheng blew up into several pieces because of the explosion of the Artefacts. Ning Cheng also sprayed out several mouthfuls of blood, although he managed to temporarily escape from the palm, but he still fell into the sand pit. Because of the exploding Artefacts, at this moment, he did not even have half a shred of strength to return back to the top of the sand pit. Ji Luo Fei who was thrown out of the way by Ning Cheng a moment ago, knew that something bad had happened. Turning back, she immediately saw a huge sand pit appear, along with a pitch ck shrivelled hand that grabbed onto Ning Cheng, she saw Ning Cheng falling on top of the palm of that hand and into the sand pit. She almost immediately, without thinking, moved towards Ning Cheng. She had sworn to herself that she would absolutely not let simr things in the past to happen again. When Ning Cheng fell into the sand pit, she immediately decided to save him and bring him out, if she could not bring Ning Cheng out, then she might as well die together with Ning Cheng by jumping into the sand pit. At this moment, there were no other ideas in her mind. Because of the huge force from the detonation of the various Artefacts, Ning Cheng was also sted high into the air, but Ning Cheng soon fell down again. At this time, Ji Luo Fei had just entered the sand pit, and she immediately wielded a long belt. She had tied up one end of the long belt to her hand while the other end, she whipped out with it, coiling it around Ning Cheng, and unexpectedly was able to pull Ning Cheng out of the sand pit. Ji Luo Fei held back her excitement, as she grabbed Ning Cheng and escaped from there at her top speed. She rejoiced that Ning Cheng always carried a long belt with his clothes, which at the moment, was also being worn by her, she was d that she did not hesitate to rush over, she knew that if she hesitated for even half a moment, then even if she arrived at the edge of the sand pit, she could only helplessly watch as Ning Cheng fell to his death in the sand pit. Just as Ji Luo Fei left the sand pit with Ning Cheng, that shrivelled up pitch ck hand once again emerged, but found no one around the periphery, and slowly retracted back into the sand pit. ...... After running for about half an hour, Ji Luo Fei finally eased up and putting Ning Cheng down started to catch her breath. Then once again putting Ning Cheng back on her back, she secured him with the long belt, and grasped Ning Chengs Spear in her own hands tightly. Luo Fei, thank you. If not for you, then this time I would have truly died. Ning Cheng said while he was being carried on Ji Luo Feis back, he even had fear lingering in his voice. You lied to me. Ji Luo Fei suddenly said in a strange way. Ah.... Ning Cheng felt surprised, as he did not know the meaning behind the words spoken by Ji Luo Fei. You knew that the result would have been the same as that day, when you asked me to run ahead, as you brought up the rear. Ji Luo Fei bit her lips as she continued, But why were you like this today? Ning Cheng opened his mouth, but didnt speak as there was too much to think about. He just subconsciously said, If there were two people rather than one, then it would be better for one to walk away, otherwise, how would you be able toe back and save me. No, all you had to do was throw me towards those ck withered hands, and then you would definitely be able to escape with your strength. Ji Luo Fei said, while crying a little bit. Ning Cheng had not done this, instead he had grabbed her and thrown her out of the danger, but in the process, Ning Cheng himself fell into the sand pit even quicker. Just why are you so good to me? Chapter 0086 – Mysterious Yellow Origin Chapter 0086 C Mysterious Yellow Origin Ning Cheng did not answer, rather he was absolutely not in the mood to answer. He was just, at this moment, looking over the extent of his injuries. He found that his Meridians were already torn to shreds, and even his Dantian waspletely filled with cracks. This was a very terrible injury, not to mention him, even if it was the top most senior of this continent, it was something that could not be treated. To put it simply, because of his injuries from his previous fight, he has been truly turned into a cripple. Let alone cultivating, even wanting to just protect his life would be extremely difficult from now on. During the confrontation with the pitch ck giant shrivelled up hand, he had frantically burned up his blood essence to blow up all of the low level Artefacts that he had, save for the Spear, and was indeed able to blow open one of those giant pitch ck withered hands. But at the same time, he was also stuck by the powerful explosions from behind. If not for him wearing the dragon hide armour inside, then perhaps he also might have ended up being blown to bits because of the explosion. Before he was full of happiness because he survived, but that joy hadpletely disappeared in just a twinkling of an eye, as waves of pain starting to spread throughout his body from his chest, he could not help but cough out a few times. Although there were a lot of thoughts going through Ji Luo Feis mind, but after Ning Cheng said those words of thanks previously, both of them became dead silent, which was then followed by Ning Chengs continuous coughs, she understood that Ning Chengs injury might possibly be a major one. Where are you intended on going? Ji Luo Fei cautiously asked. Ning Cheng was silent for a long time, then said, I wanted to make a trip to the Falling Star Academy, but now I think, I think ....... Ning Cheng wanted to give a few things to Ji Luo Fei, and help make sure Ji Luo Fei reached her ce safely. He still had the things that he had received from Kou Hong, and Ning Cheng was still looking for the opportunity to deliver them. It was partly because of the map that he had received from Kou Hong, but he knew that even without the map he would have survived somehow, it is just that if he did notplete thest wishes of Kou Hong, he knew that he would never feel right again. He had thanked Kou Hong from the bottom of his heart for his map, although the map given to him by Kou Hong was very simplistic, but the fact was, he did not know how many bones were stacked up just to create this map. This kind of kindness, is something that should be recorded and carried out to thest bit. However, thinking that Ji Luo Fei waspelled to leave the Falling Star Academy, he also did not want to Ji Luo Fei to return back to that ce again. Do not worry, the Hua Continent have a lot of healing pills, now that we also have arge amount of Spirit Stones, your injuries can be easily cured. Ji Luo Fei consoled Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng was just about to speak, when he felt that the Mysterious Yellow Bead in his Zifu suddenly started to spin, he could not recognize the Qi that was being released by the Mysterious Yellow Bead which was, at this moment, dissipating throughout his body. This Qi that was being released by the Mysterious Yellow Bead was slowly starting to mend and reshape his shredded Meridians and even his Dantian was slowly getting repaired. As this Qi passed through his Meridians, Ning Cheng slowly became aware that the Mysterious Yellow Bead was gradually fusing into him as a single entity. This kind of mysterious yellow Qi could now be controlled by his mind, and was already starting to have a huge impact on him. Was this the Mysterious Yellow Origin? Thats right, this has to be the Mysterious Yellow Origin that he felt from before. Ning Cheng waspletely stunned and almost shouted out in happiness. He had thought that he would only be able to feel the Mysterious Yellow Origin only at the time when he reached a very high level in his cultivation, he never imagined that he would be able to feel the Mysterious Yellow Origin with just the cultivation of True Condensation Realm. If he knew that he would be able to utilize the Mysterious Yellow Origin to help him repair his torn Meridians and cracked Dantian, he would have done so earlier on. If he cultivated within the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he knew that his speed would be several times faster than before, but the reason why he had been afraid to re-enter the Mysterious Yellow Bead to cultivate was because he was afraid of exposing the Mysterious Yellow Bead to the outside. Even during the trip to the Hua Continent, he was somewhat fearful that some high level expert would be able to see the Mysterious Yellow Bead right through his body. Now that the Mysterious Yellow Origin was finally stimted, and even started to repair and transform his Meridians bypletely rebuilding it anew, he was nowpletely certain that the Mysterious Yellow Bead had finally fully integrated with his body, and thus could not be perceived by anyone outside even if they ripped his body apart piece by piece. Ning Chengs happinesssted for only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, before he once again began to worry. Going by the speed with which the Mysterious Yellow Origin was transforming his Meridians and repairing his Dantian, he could estimate that it would take nearly 3 months time to fully transform the Meridians and repair his Dantian. For these three months he would not have much physical strength, not even enough to retreat in the face of danger, but he also knew that he would not be able to get out of this desert within those three months, moreover there was still Ji Luo Fei to think of, just what should he do? With Ji Luo Feis strength alone, it was impossible to guarantee the safety of both of them, so should he find a ce to hole up in this desert, or should they really continue on their way? Ning Cheng soon abandoned the idea of trying to find a secluded ce in the desert to retreat, trying to seek a secluded and undisturbed ce in this desert to hole up for three months, they might as well continue along their way out of here then. If one went into seclusion for a few months in this Thunder Fall Desert, anything could happen, he was clear that there was absolutely no safe ce for them in this desert. Regardless of if they stopped or walked, the danger to their life was the same. He calcted that if they could somehow speed up their journey, then maybe in two months time, they would be able toe out of this Thunder Fall Desert. Seeing Ning Cheng did not answer, Ji Luo Fei seems to know what things were going on in Ning Chengs mind, she decided in her heart to secretly, no matter what, help Ning Cheng heal his wounds. Wait a minute. At this time when Ji Luo Fei wanted to hurry up and continue to get out of this ce and help Ning Cheng as soon as possible, Ning Cheng once again stopped her and pointed in a particr direction that was marked on the map that he had memorized, and let Ji Luo Fei hurry in the direction that he pointed. ...... Ji Luo Fei was carrying Ning Cheng on her back and hurrying along nonstop. As Ning Cheng let Ji Luo Fei carry him on her back, the Mysterious Yellow Origin was also constantly transforming his Meridians and also repairing his Dantian. Unfortunately, this process, Ning Cheng was simply powerless to control it, otherwise he would have done everything in his power to hurry up the repairing process. Along the way, other than Ji Luo Fei encountering a few simple desert whirlpools, as well as evading a few low levelled desert Monstrous Beasts, the two of them did not encounter any other dangers. Two monthster, Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei could hear a faint sound, then they were able to see that the yellow fog the desert was finally dispersing, it was then that they came to know that, they could finally see the end of the Thunder Fall Desert up ahead, and quickly made haste to leave the Thunder Fall Desert behind. We have arrived at the Hua Continent. Ji Luo Fei looked at the distant hazy mountains, and the original tension in her also finally disappeared. Now that they finally arrived here, she must take care of Ning Chengs injuries, and also look after Ning Cheng till hes finally healed, therefore it was needless to speak about parting ways here. Ning Cheng coughed a few times, Ji Luo Fei immediately put Ning Cheng down and gently patted Ning Chengs back and said, First let us find a ce to rest, then I will help you go look for healing herbs. Ning Cheng quickly said, Luo Fei, you do not need to find healing herbs for my injury, I already know about my injuries and have already started to heal them, and in at most 1.5 months, the injuries should be fully healed. Ji Luo Fei did not believe Ning Cheng, during the past two months, Ning Cheng had been coughing nonstop, moreover even she could tell that his True Essence had never recovered even the slightest, how could she believe that Ning Cheng has already started healing his own wounds? At this distance the singing sound that they were hearing was almost close to them, it turned out that it was a beast carriage that wasing towards them. The one who was singing the song was actually the driver of the carriage, when the carriage arrived near Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei, he took the initiative and stopped as he asked, Do the two of you want to take my beast carriage to the Sha Pi Town? My carriage is already on its way back to my Sha Pi Town, if you want toe, then I can give you a ride. Ji Luo Fei was just about to refuse, as even though she was carrying Ning Cheng on her back she was not the least bit slow, but then Ning Cheng pulled on her robe and said, Let us take the beast carriage to the Sha Pi Town, you also can take rest in the meantime. To the words spoken by Ning Cheng, Ji Luo Fei never could refute, and immediately said to the driver, Such being the case, well take your beast carriage to Sha Pi Town. After hearing that, the carriage driver quickly got off and opened the door to the carriage and said, The two of you pleasee in. Ning Cheng saw that there was only a young woman sitting inside the carriage, but to him it felt a bit strange, noticing the strange expression on Ning Chengs face, the driver quickly replied, My carriage ising from the Peng Cun Ry Station at the edge of the Thunder Fall Desert, so the peopleing back from there are actually very few. Ning Cheng then came to understand, it seems that this carriage was returning back. It was just like Li Shaos carriage, except that his was empty. The driver seeing that Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei finally sat inside, quickly shut the door and once again rushed his beast carriage out of the area. For people that he met near the edge of the desert, he never talked about the price. As when these people finally got off, the price that they would usually give out would not be much lower. If he talked about the price with them, not only would it make a bad impression on them, he may even get less. Since he has been plying his carriage on this path for a long time, so he had been long since been aware of this rule. In his good times, he once managed to pick up a person, who had even paid him in gold coins just to drop him off at the town. ....... The young woman who was sitting in the carriage along with them, was wearing a tight ck dress, with her face hidden behind a thin veil. Ning Cheng looked at her and could tell that she had the cultivation level of Qi Gathering 9th Level. Even though she was only sitting, one could still see that this womans figure was very seductive, the cloths that she was wearing also very clearly outlined the curves of her body, even her skin that was showing was smooth and fair, well in other words she was definitely a beautiful woman. But when she saw that Ning Cheng needed the help of Ji Luo Fei to enter the carriage, and was even coughing a few times, disdain shed in her eyes that was very apparent. Then she swept her eyes towards the Spear that was in the hands of Ji Luo Fei that she had handed over to Ning Cheng once they boarded the carriage, the disdain her eyes grew even more. Although the Spear was still wrapped up in a cloth for the moment, but from the grip that was exposed she could see that it was broken. Ji Luo Fei had never been a talkative person, and even when she spoke, she would only speak to Ning Cheng. As to the ck robed woman inside the carriage, she only nced at her, and no longer paid any attention towards her. Ning Cheng, of course, was also not going to focus on the woman who they were sharing the carriage with. Although there were three people inside the carriage, but it was extremely quiet, other than the song that the driver was singing and the asional howl and the hoof beat of the beast pulling the carriage, there was no other voices. Chapter 0087 – Remoulding Of The Meridians Chapter 0087 C Remoulding Of The Meridians But this quiet did notst long, as Ning Chengs coughing bouts time and time again broke the silence in the carriage. The ck clothed woman looked at Ning Cheng and then looked at Ji Luo Fei, thinking for a while she suddenly came to understand something, and the disdain in her eyes gradually disappeared. She estimated that she had guessed wrong before, and she thought that these two people who had entered the carriage should not be husband and wife, but rather had a brother and sister rtionship. Ning Cheng seemed to have experienced a lot in his life, she guessed that his age was not low, and that he should be the elder brother. Otherwise with the strength of Ji Luo Fei, how would it be possible for such a woman to be together with a disease ridden ghost of a man? In her view, although Ji Luo Fei was disfigured, but regardless of that, she was not a match for Ning Cheng in any way. If she could restore her appearance, then she felt that even she would feel inferior to the woman in front of her. You ought to be brother and sister, right? The block clothed woman took the initiative and asked. Ji Luo Feisplexion slightly turned red, she seemed to be worried about Ning Cheng. Now that the ck robed woman had asked her a question, she only gave a nomittal um, neither approving or disapproving her rtionship with Ning Cheng. I really did not guess wrong, did your elder brother received a serious injury or does he have a serious illness? The ck robed woman took it as a sign that she had guessed correctly, and immediately her mood turned quite friendly. He is seriously injured. Ji Luo Fei was not ustomed to ignoring people, now that someone had asked, she also responded with her answer. I have a healing pill with me, I can give it to you. Dont worry, as long as your elder brother takes this healing pill, your elder brothers injury will definitely heal. The ck clothed woman suddenly took out a white coloured pill and handed it Ji Luo Fei. Ji Luo Fei was never a person who would take things from a stranger, but when she heard this woman say that this white healing pill can help Ning Cheng recover from her injuries, she immediately wanted to bring it over to him. However, she was still looked towards Ning Cheng, as she wanted to know Ning Chengs opinion about it. Ning Cheng knew that although he was severely wounded, but now that the Mysterious Yellow Origin was remoulding his Meridians, why would he need to take the healing pill? Even if it was an immortal elixir, he did not want to use it. Besides the ck robed woman was only at Qi Gathering 9th Level, how would she even have any good pills? Thinking about this, Ning Cheng subconsciously nced at the pill in the hands of the ck robed woman. When he saw the pill in hands of the ck robed woman, he was instantly surprised in his heart, it turned out the pill in her hands was actually a Level 3 Spiritual Invigorating Pill. For a Qi Gathering 9th Level Cultivator, to casually take out a Top Quality Level 3 Spiritual Invigorating Pill, this woman certainly had an unusual background. For this kind of woman, to take a Beast Carriage was really very strange, Ning Cheng at this moment could only use a little bit of his Spiritual Sense, he could vaguely feel that this unusual looking woman was concealing her Qi. You need not give it to us, thank you. Ning Cheng directly rejected the Spiritual Invigorating Pill in the hands of the ck robed woman. Regardless of even if she was doing it out of her consideration, he did not want to associate much with this woman other than talking. While Ji Luo Fei was very much interested in the healing pill for Ning Cheng, but after she heard the words of Ning Cheng, she also refused her by saying, Thank you, but we do not need it. The ck woman put away the white pill in her hands as she nced at Ning Cheng and muttered, Cant even judge the quality of the goods, and also do not recognize the good intentions of people. Ning Cheng did not bother to pay any attention to this ck robed woman, and although Ji Luo Fei was really worried about the injuries of Ning Cheng, but she also no longer spoke. ...... As the beast carriage ran along the way, other than the driver stopping for rest halfway through the journey, they did not stop anywhere else. It seemed that the ck robed woman was unhappy with Ning Cheng in her heart, and as such did not bother to speak to them again. Just as the day was finally turning dark, the drivers voice boomed from the front, Well be arriving at Sha Pi Town soon....... Wait, Ill get off here. The ck robed woman suddenly stopped the driver and spoke. Ji Luo Fei was surprised as she looked at the ck robed woman in a puzzling way, they were soon going to arrive at the Sha Pi Town, why would she want to get off here? After the ck robed woman got off from the beast carriage, in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the beast carriage entered the Sha Pi Town, and stopped in front of a courtyard. Just as Ji Luo Fei was helping Ning Cheng get up, the driver of the carriage opened the door. Two guests, we have arrived at Sha Pi Town. The coachman spoke in a warm and polite tone. Where is this? Ning Cheng looked at the courtyard in front of them and asked, he did not see the streets as he expected, nor was he able to see the rest stop or the ry station that he had seen in the towns before. The driver quickly said, This the courtyard of my familys home, if you friends go through the front street, you will arrive at the main street, it is not far from here. My beast carriage is not allowed to go onto the main street, and can only stop at my courtyard entrance. All right, so how many gold coins? Ning Cheng just nodded and asked. The coachman said in a very casual tone, Just give me a few coins if it is convenient to you, if not it also doesnt matter. My beast carriage was just on its way home, so it did not take any effort. Ning Cheng knew what the driver was thinking, and as a result had a bit of favourable impression of him. He took out a handful of coins and handed it to the driver and said, These are for you. Gold Coins did not have much use for Ning Cheng, moreover he already had many hundreds of gold coins with him at the moment. The drivers eyes lit up on seeing this much gold, but then he immediately said, This, this is too much. Ning Cheng once again stuffed the gold coins back into the hands of the driver and said, If we had not met you, then it would have been very difficult for us to get to Sha Pi Town. Just tell me, which of the rest stops are better. The coachman took the gold coins given by Ning Cheng with excitement in his eyes and then said carefully, My familys courtyard isrge, and there are also many empty rooms. If you friends dont mind, then you can live here. But if you still want to go to a rest stop then, the Sha Pei Rest Stop is the biggest one in the town. Ning Cheng felt moved in his heart, although this courtyard was really not small, moreover not only was it not small, it even had much of the surroundings open. If he lived here, then he would be much morefortable here than living in a rest stop. Thank you very much, we do not pay much attention to where we live. Ning Cheng hurriedly thanked the coachman, for him, if he lived in a coachmans house without cultivation, it would be much better that living in the crowded rest stop. This courtyard was really good, and the coachman not only continuously thanked Ning Cheng who had given him a lot of gold, but had even chosen thergest of the rooms avable for Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei. After the coachman left, Ning Cheng took out a bunch of Array gs and handed them over to Ji Luo Fei and said, Luo Fei, we will be living here for almost 1.5 months. I have to heal myself, after these 1.5 month pass by, then we will depart from here. These Array gs are for the Concealment and Defence Array Formations, the injury to my Zifu is not light, moreover I only have a very scant Spiritual Sense avable to me at the moment, so you will have to arrange these Array Formations for me. Ok. Ji Luo Fei knew that Ning Cheng was severely injured, and was unable to go farther, staying in this Sha Pi Town was really the best choice. Under Ning Chengs step by step directions, Ji Luo Fei was barely able to arrange the Level 1 Defensive Array Formation and Concealment Array Formations. As for the Spiritual Qi Gathering Array Formation, Ning Cheng was a bit afraid in arranging it, once he arranged the Array Formation, the Spiritual Qi from the surroundings would immediately rush towards inside, and as such it would not be good. In the Sha Pi Town. cultivators were very few, so the Level 1 Concealment Array Formation would be more than enough for Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei. Luo Fei, you also stay here and cultivate, and as far as possible try not to go into the crowded ces of the Sha Pi Town. The condition of my injury, I already have a pretty good idea of it in my mind, and as such I know that recovering from it would not be an issue for me. ...... As time passed by, Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei lived in seclusion in the courtyard of the coachman, and in just a blink of an eye over half a month passed by. Ning Cheng could feel that his Meridians have recovered by more than 90 percent and even his Dantian was also bing increasingly perfect. He believed that as long as there was enough time, his Meridians would bepletely remoulded. When that time came, even if his cultivation did not advance, his True Essence would be much more vigorous and smoother than before. Ji Luo Fei also could feel Ning Chengs slow recovery, and the tension that was building up in her also gradually rxed. Meanwhile even her cultivation was soaring leaps and bounds, and not only was her control over her Spiritual Sense increasing, but she had also advanced from the early Qi Gathering 5th Level to peak stage Qi Gathering 5th Level during this time. The carriage driver seemed to know that Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei were not ordinary people, since the time he had settled the two people in his homes courtyard, he did note there to disturb them. On this day, Ning Cheng was calcting how long would it probably take for his Meridians topletely remodel, when he suddenly felt that the Qi emanating from the Mysterious Yellow Origin suddenly quicken up, and even the rate of reshaping of his Meridians also suddenly increased. Originally there was only 10% of the Meridians remaining to be remoulded, but in just a short amount of time, the remoulding of his Meridians was bing faster and faster. Even thest few cracks in his Dantian, under the influence of the Qi from the Mysterious Yellow Origin, in just a twinkling of an eye,pletely disappeared, and not even a shadow of a crack could be visible on it. Ning Cheng at this moment did not know what had happened, but he knew that this definitely was his chance. If he was to get distracted here, then all the time that he spent in remoulding his Meridians would be wasted and immediately focussed his entire mind and heart on the recovery. Soft Ka Ka sounds emerged from his Meridians of his body, as well as the flowing sounds of his True Essence could be hearding from the Meridians, even Ning Cheng could hear it clearly resounding throughout his body. Although the Meridians had not yetpletely healed, but Ning Cheng was well aware of this kind of strong feeling. He did not know how long it took, but after a while Ning Chengs body started to tremble, and the next moment his face revealed the expression of wild joy. His cultivation had not regressed but rather progressed forward, but all of this did not matter, because Ning Cheng clearly understood the reason why his cultivation had so many setbacks. That was because his Meridians were extremely thin before, but now not only they were very wide, they were even a lot tougher than before. The tenacity and the fortitude of his Meridians made Ning Cheng really surprised, with his Meridians this tough, it meant that they could not only withstand a greater pressure but also meant that he also had an even greater potential for development, and in the future he would be able to easily ascend to higher realms whenpared to others. The reason why his cultivation was backwards till now was because his Meridians simply could not withstand such a pressure. If his True Essence now waspared to flowing water, then his Meridians had changed it from a stream to a river. If he just kept cultivating like this, then he could feel that the strength of his cultivation of True Condensation Realm was even a few notches stronger than what it was previously. But what was even more different, was that after the remoulding from the Mysterious Yellow Origin, not only were his Meridians no longer fragile as before, even his body had be much more tough and resilient than before. Ning Cheng lifted his hands, and the broken Spearnded on his palms, he wanted to try out his most powerful attack with his Spear. But after heaving a sigh, Ning Cheng put away the Spear, he thought that he should first tell Ji Luo Fei, he could not let Ji Luo Fei continue to be worried about him. Ning Cheng had just stood up, when he frowned, he once again saw the ck robed woman. Only this time that ck robed woman was stained with blood, and was anxiously standing inside the courtyard and saying something to Ji Luo Fei. Chapter 0088 – The Tough Imperial Jade Seal Chapter 0088 C The Tough Imperial Jade Seal Ning Cheng could make out that this ck robed woman had already suffered some heavy injuries, but fortunately the healing pills on her were clearly very good, and her injuries were also recovering at a very fast rate. Are you feeling better? Ji Luo Fei asked as she saw Ning Chenge out, moreover his facialplexion also looked much better than before, but she still quickly stepped forward to support Ning Cheng, and asked in a tone of surprise. Much better, I think that we should be able to move out from here in two days. Ning Cheng looked at Ji Luo Fei and said while smiling. If not for his n to study that Imperial Jade Seal that he had obtained, perhaps he would have already walked away from here today along with her. Ji Luo Fei remembered that the ck robed woman was still standing on one side, and spoke to Ning Cheng in a somewhat hesitant manner, Because she was attacked, she was badly wounded, at the moment she does not have any ce to hide, and could only return to the Sha Pi Town. She did not dare to go to any of the rest stops in Sha Pi Town, but as she happened to see me passing through here, so....... Ning Cheng finally came to understand that he was really not mistaken, this woman really was a hassle to deal with. It was probably because she herself does not know the value of the pills that she has, and carelessly revealed her fortune, and was attacked as a result of it. With the cultivation of this woman only at Qi Gathering 9th Level,bined with her nature of taking out high quality pills in front ofplete strangers, sooner orter she would have been attacked. Although Ning Cheng did not care about these things, but it did not mean that others would also not care about it. Now that this ck robed woman finally met trouble, Ning Cheng simply did not need to ask and could correctly guess that this woman had definitely carelessly took out her pills, resulting in such a thing to happen to her. This woman who seemed to look deep and astute, turned out to be an idiot. And moreover with her seductive body, taking part in outside battles, and even wearing a tight set of cloths over her body, revealing her seductive curves, it showed that she really had very little experience of dealing with the outside world. This elder brother, I just want to stay here for just two days, as long as you allow me to rest here for two days, I will be able to recover from my injuries, once my injuries recover, I will be able to get out of here. The ck robed woman saw Ning Cheng frown, and immediately thought about the first time that he had met Ning Cheng and had looked at them with disdain, but she could see it clearly, that in between Ji Luo Fei and Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng was the one who called the shots. Ji Luo Fei was also looking at Ning Cheng with some hope in her eyes, she hoped that Ning Cheng would give shelter to this injured ck robed woman, as she also had a few healing pills on her. Of course, this woman had no reason to give them the healing pills, and although Ning Cheng had not taken them, Ji Luo Fei still felt a bit grateful in her heart towards her. She was the kind of person who always repays the gratitude that she received from others. Ning Cheng nodded and said, Well, you can live with us for two days, but after the passing of two days, we will be leaving this ce. This really is good, many thanks elder brother, I am called Zhu Mu Er, I really do not know by what names to call you two. When the ck robed woman heard that Ning Cheng was willing to give shelter to her for two days, she immediately became happy. You can just call me Luo Fei from now on. Ji Luo Fei quickly replied. I am called Ning Xiao Cheng, Luo Fei, why dont you show Zhu Mu Er to the rightmost room to let her rest. I am going into closed door cultivation for two days. Ning Cheng was not willing to be close friends with this Zhu Mu Er, instead he wanted to go into closed door cultivation in order to study the Imperial Jade Seal. With regards to Zhu Mu Er taking shelter with them, Ning Cheng was not worried. With Zhu Mu Ers cultivation level, she was able to escape and arrive here safely albeit with a few injuries, moreover it also showed that her opponent was also someone of at least the same level as her. Now that his cultivation was already restored, moreover it was even stronger than before by many folds. Even if the enemy of Zhu Mu Er was to find trouble for him, he would not be afraid. You have to go into closed door cultivation? Zhu Mu Er looked at Ning Cheng in amazement, in her opinion, Ning Cheng was just a sickly person. How could a sickly person dare to go into closed door cultivation? Fortunately, it was she who hade here to seek shelter, seeing that Ning Cheng didnt answer her, she also did not dare talk any more nonsense. Ji Luo Fei felt that Ning Cheng did not like Zhu Mu Er, and quickly took Zhu Mu Er in the rightmost room in the corner, and told Zhu Mu Er to not to disturb Ning Cheng. Sister Luo Fei, do not worry, I myself do not have enough time to heal myself, where would I have the time to go disturb your elder brother. Thank you for giving me a ce to rest, if its possible you cane to visit my home in the future. Zhu Mu Er suddenly had a bit of doubt sh through her eyes but it quickly disappeared. After settling Zhu Mu Er in her room, Ji Luo Fei once more returned to Ning Chengs room and said, Ning Cheng.... Ning Cheng stopped Ji Luo Fei and said, Luo Fei, it would be better if you call me Ning Xiao Cheng from now on. Before that woman called Zhu Mu Er had note here, I was going to tell you this. But in that beast carriage Zhu Mu Er had casually brought out a Level 3 Spiritual Invigorating Pill, which shows her unusual origins. Both of us are people who do not have any backing at the moment, so it would be better to reduce our contact with such people. Ah, I understand. Ji Luo Fei nodded, and approached Ning Cheng, she then grabbed onto Ning Chengs wrist, she wanted to confirm for herself if Ning Chengs injuries had improved or not. Ning Cheng patted Ji Luo Feis hand lightly and said, Luo Fei, dont worry, my injuries have almost recovered, you do not have to worry about it. But still I have to say this to you, for these two days I will be behind closed doors as I have to study something, you must also seize this time and improve your cultivation. Hearing that Ning Chengs injuries were almost healed, Ji Luo Fei was overjoyed and quickly replied, I know, you first go into closed door cultivation, I wille again when youe out. ...... After Ji Luo Fei left, Ning Cheng arranged several Concealment Array Formations inside the room, and then took out the Imperial Jade Seal. The outside of the Imperial Jade Seal was covered in a pale gold colour with some markings, which made it look like it was a very delicate object, but he could feel that it was considerably heavy. Ning Cheng had also seen some general pictures of some other Imperial Jade Seals, but the Imperial Jade Seals that he had seen were somewhat different than what he had in his hands. As they usually had a dragon shaped carving on top of it. But as for the Imperial Jade Seal in his hands, it had a bird shape carving on top of the cube, moreover it was a carving of a bird that he did not know about, and at the bottom of the cube there were three words written Lan Yi Country. Ning Cheng touched the carvings of the Lan Yi Country, but did not feel anything special. He swept the surface of the Imperial Jade Seal with his Spiritual Sense, but was actually not able to sweep through the inside of it. Ning Cheng then tried to use his Spiritual Sense to refine this Imperial Jade Seal, but even after half a dayter, he did not even have the slightest of reaction from the Imperial Jade Seal, it seemed as if it really was not an Artefact. If it was not an Artefact, then Ning Cheng was sure that his own Spiritual Sense would have been able to prate into the interiors of the Imperial Jade Seal, but he knew that his Spiritual Sense could not even prate even the tiniest bit inside. Ning Cheng took out his Spear, and used approximately 10% of his True Essence and struck Imperial Jade Seal with the Spear. When the Spear hit the top of the Imperial Jade Seal, that sound that it made was as if he had hit a beat up leather cloth, there was no clear and crisp sound that he expected, and even the Imperial Jade Seal was absolutely still, not to mention that the Imperial Jade Seal did not break open as expected, but there was not even a single scratch to be seen on it. This Imperial Jade Seal was really very strong and tough, this kind of strength and toughness definitely proved that it was something like a Magic Weapon. Ning Cheng once again took the Imperial Jade Seal back into his hands and once again started to try and refine it. As two days shed by, the Imperial Jade Seal in his hands had still not changed even one bit, and was still motionless. Ning Cheng, amidst some disappointment, finally put down the Imperial Jade Seal, he had no way to open the Imperial Jade Seal. Under such helplessness, Ning Cheng could only put away the Imperial Jade Seal, and opened the door. Since you havee out of your closed door training, I just came to inform you that it is time for me to go. This time I really thank you from the bottom of my heart, although those people who were pursuing me think that I have not returned to Sha Pi Town, I am still very grateful to you. Zhu Mu Er and Ji Luo Fei were sitting outside and talking to each other, on seeing Ning Chenging out, Zhu Mu Er immediately stood up and took the initiative to greet him. Zhu Mu Er had removed the veil on her face, revealing a delicate oval face, coupled with a pair of big doe like eyes, andbined with her stature, she really looked very pretty. Then I wish you good luck in your journey. Ning Cheng hurriedly replied. Zhu Mu Er just waved her hands and said, Do not worry, didnt you also say that you were going to leave today, where do you intend to go? If its on the same way as my own, we might as well go along. She did not wait for Ning Cheng to reply, as Zhu Mu Er once again took the initiative to speak, I am actually going to the Mo Ze City where the Falling Star 5 Star Academy is located, but to reach there I have to take the airship from Xi Qin City. If you want to go to either of the two ces, we three can go together. What are you going to do at the Falling Star Academy? Ning Cheng already was intending to go to the Falling Star 5 Star Academy, and then go to the Clear Sky Academyter. Now that Zhu Mu Er coincidentally was also going to the Falling Star Academy, it made him even more cautious towards her. Zhu Mu Er nced at Ning Cheng but this time spoke in a somewhat arrogant tone, Ning Xiao Cheng, if I were you, I would bring my sister to the Mo Ze City. Mo Ze City has one of the five 5 Star Academies of the Hua Continent, and moreover it is also the season of recruitment for the 5 Star Academies. I am going there to participate in the enrolment, and of course have been doing major preparations to enter the inner circle of the 5 Star Academy. Although your qualifications are poor, but I think that Luo Feis qualifications are very good, although her cultivation is not that high and so will not be able to enter the inner circle, but she could still enter the outer circle of the 5 Star Academy. If you dont bring Luo Fei, and let her stay in a ce that even birds do not shit on, she will never improve, and forever would be fated to only mix with the people of the lowest level. Ning Cheng gave a nce at the curves of Zhu Mu Er and abruptly spoke, I presume that Miss Zhues from a rich family, me and Luo Fei are not naive people, although we also are going towards Mo Ze City, but it would be better for us to just walk there. If Miss Zhu wants to leave then by all means leave first, we can walk by ourselves. Seeing Ning Cheng sweep a nce at the skin tight dress that she was wearing, Zhu Mu Ers face immediately turned red, Wait a minute. She said as she immediately entered the room. After just a short whileter, Zhu Mu Er once againes out, but this time she had changed into a long womans dress which looked verymon. Then she proudly looked at Ning Cheng and said, With this you should not have much pressure on you right? I was displeased when my father said that I was too squeamish, capricious, and too dependent on others, and I wanted toe out and prove it to him that I could handle myself outside. When he sees me, who ends up being selected by a 5 Star Academy, moreover even able to enter the inner circle of the Academy, he will thene to know that his Zhu Mu Er was definitely not what he had thought about. Ning Cheng then came to understand that originally this youngdy Zhu Mu Er had run away from her home, to prove to her father that he had thought wrong about her daughter. I will lead you to Mo Ze City, at most it would only take a few days to reach there, if you went by yourself, then you may not even reach there even in a few months. Zhu Mu Er saw that Ning Cheng was not saying anything and once again said in a triumphant tone. Ning Cheng felt a bit relieved in his heart, such being the case, then it would be better to follow Zhu Mu Er to Mo Ze City. In this ce like the Hua Continent, trying to ride a Flying Swords was much more dangerous than in the Ping Continent. Chapter 0089 – Arriving At Mo Ze City Chapter 0089 C Arriving At Mo Ze City Along the way, it was apparent that Zhu Mu Er had not lied or boasted about not knowing the correct way. Under her leadership, the three of them just spent two days on the road, before they arrived at Xi Qin City to board the airship to Mo Ze City. Although this airship did not have individual cabins, however the main hall of the airship had various kinds of services, they even had several sound broadcasting Talismans distributed throughout the hall which were even better than the ones he remembered. Only the rtively rich cultivators were able to afford to board the airship, as this kind of airship did not ept gold coins, and only received their fee in Spirit Stones. As Ning Cheng looked at the various cultivators that had already filled up the hall, he finally came to know that the people of the Hua Continent were much richer than the people from the Ping Continent. Although Ning Cheng had taken out the required Spirit Stones for him and Ji Luo Fei so that Zhu Mu Er could leave them alone, but then Zhu Mu Er disyed her generosity as always, and basically did not let Ji Luo Fei to pay her share of the Spirit Stones for the fare. The three people took a table by the side of the hall-like cabin and sat down, the airship would be flying for two days before arriving at their destination, moreover for a cultivator sitting for two days really was nothing. Most of the cultivators in the hall were talking about the admissions of the 5 Star Academy, after Ning Cheng listened for a while, he also began to have a certain understanding towards it. Because this time the few big 5 Star Academies were recruiting students from Mo Ze City, and as a result almost all the cultivators in the Hua Continent were rushing towards that ce in order to not to miss such an opportunity. In addition to the cultivators from the Hua Continent, there were even other cultivators from the Ping and the Yuan Continent who were mixed into the crowd heading in the same direction. Because of these many people, there were also a few people who were going to the recruitment at the Mo Ze City in the hopes of getting selected for some of the 3 and 4 Star Academies which would also be conducting their recruitment there. After all, there would only be a few people who would be qualified to be selected for a 5 Star Academy, and as such it was definite that a lot of people would not be able to join the 5 Star Academies, so such being the case, many of these cultivators would choose entering a 3 or 4 Star Academy or in some case even joining some big ns and Sects would also be good for them. This scenario reminded Ning Cheng of the Clear Hear Academy of the Nan Yuan City, it seemed that no matter where you were, as long as it was to enrol the students, the Academies would always attract arge number of people. Zhu Mu Er looking at those cultivators talk so extravagantly, said with a despising tone in her voice, A group of people who does not know the immensity of the heavens and the earth, they think that just by going to Mo Ze City they would be selected by one of the Advanced Level Academies, that is just a dream for them. If it was this easy to get into an Advanced Level Academy, then it would never would have been an Advanced Level Academy in the first ce. Although Ning Cheng could hear what she spoke but he just was not in a mood to talk to her, Zhu Mu Er was going to Mo Ze City to participate in the enrolment of the Advanced Level Academies, as long as she could get away from them, it would be much better for the both of them. The usually quite Ji Luo Fei who never talked much with others suddenly asked, Sister Mu Er, during this selection of the 5 Star Academy, if a persons results are outstanding, then would they be selected to go to an Intermediate ss Continent? Ning Cheng immediately knew that Ji Luo Fei had asked those words for his own benefit, as he had also asked the same question to Ji Luo Fei before. When Zhu Mu Er heard Ji Luo Fei call her Sister Mu Er, she appeared to be extremely happy, and also answered carefully, This time the reason why the five 5 Star Academies of Hua Continent arepeting with each other, is because one of them would be promoted to a 6 Star Academy by the end of it. And as to the students with the best results in the Tournament, they are sure to be selected to go to an Intermediate ss Continent. Besides, even if they were not selected to go to the Intermediate ss Continent, the rewards for the top spots are also extremely amazing. I heard that the reward for the top spot is an actual Spiritual Grade Artefact, other than that, the reward also contains a Storage Bag with a storage space of 10 cubic meters, plus an Essence Building Pill and 3,000 High Grade Spirit Stones. When Ning Cheng heard about the Storage Bag with the storage space of 10 cubic Meters, his heart was immediately moved, although he also had a Storage Bag, but it only had a storage space of 1 cubic meter, it was simply not enough to store the Spear that he always had to carry on his back. If he had a Storage Bag with a storage space of 10 cubic meters, he would then definitely be able to put his Spear in it and not carry it in hands or strapped to his back. The price of a Storage Bag was also very high, with each increase in 1 cubic meter of volume, the price of the Storage Bag would be even more than 20 times than the price before. Ning Cheng knew that at the moment, he could not even afford to buy a simple basic Storage Bag. Good heavens, 3,000 High Grade Spirit Stones, isnt that equivalent to 300,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones, or even more .... When some of the people nearby heard the words spoken by Zhu Mu Er, they immediately eximed out loud. Whenpared to an Essence Building Pill, and a Storage Bag with a storage space of 10 cubic meters, just what good are 3,000 High Grade Spirit Stones? Someone called out. In fact, these are not even the best reward, I heard that the top 20 people would even have the opportunity to go to the Angry Axe Valley, where there are several High Ranked Spiritual Grasses in abundance, you would just have to take a few steps and can even casually pick up not only High Ranked Spiritual Grasses but even top quality raw materials for crafting Artefacts.... Just what is this Angry Axe Valley? Why havent I heard about it? A torrent of questions from the other cultivators interrupted him. I do not know, I have only heard people talk about it, the only thing that I know is that it is ce that has many treasures, but it is not in the Hua Continent. Everyone knows that you are talking nonsense, if there really was such a ce, it would have already been cleared out by others, why would someone even wait for others for such an opportunity? As these two cultivators argued with each other, someone exined, The Angry Axe Valley really exists, I have also heard about it, but I heard that if you wanted to go in, then there is a limit on ones cultivation level. Moreover, this Angry Axe Valley was formed because an axe that was dropped from the sky which ended up splitting thend it was dropped on. After that axe fell and formed the valley, it immediately filled it with a very rich Spiritual Qi. Afterwards, more and more treasures began to appear there, and as a result more and more people went there to explore for treasures. However, it is an extremely dangerous ce, and a lot of people had already died there. After experiencing this kind of situation for countless years, many limitations were ced on entering the Angry Axe Valley, and thus not everyone can go in. Do you mean to say, that this valley is a tomb of some mighty cultivator? I also heard about it, but whether it is true or not I do not know. Moreover, even if it was true, we really would have no chance, not only would the top 20 people of the entire Hua Continent would be powerful, they would definitely be even more powerful than even some of the core students of the 5 Star Academies. Not only from the Hua Continent, I heard that the 5 Star Academies had even recruited some talented students from the Ping Continent and the Yuan Continent, moreover I even heard that the qualifications of these talented students were also very good, as soon as they enter the Hua Continent, they absolutely would not be any weaker than those geniuses of the 5 Star Academies. Because of the issues with the ranking tournament, more and more people were now joining in the discussion. Soon the topic of their conversation changed to the 5 Star Academies, which was an even better topic for them. Seeing that Ji Luo Fei and Ning Cheng did not speak, Zhu Mu Er took the initiative and spoke, Sister Luo Fei, with your qualifications, even if you do not get selected by the 5 Star Academies, you would definitely be selected for one of the 4 Star Academies. ...... The airship was very fast, and in less two days, itnded outside the Mo Ze Citys Ry Station. This kind of foreign ship was not allowed to directly fly into the Mo Ze City. Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei just followed the crowd down the airship, and decided to find a rest stop for them first, and then go to the Flying Star Academy to seek out Meng Yu Jing. After the talks between the cultivators on the airship, Ning Cheng already came to be acquainted with the names of the five 5 Star Academies of the Hua Continent, they were, the Thunder Academy, the Clear Sky Academy, the Falling Star Academy, the Luo Hou Academy and the God Wind Academy. The reason why these five 5 Star Academies were conducting their recruitment in the Mo Ze City was not because Falling Star Academy was the most powerful of them, but because there were some mighty people from an Intermediate ss Continent who hade to stay in the Mo Ze City. Since these mighty characters who were from an Intermediate ss Continent came to stay in the Mo Ze City, it was natural for the rest of the Academies of the Hua Continent also came to the Mo Ze City. Ning Xiao Cheng and Luo Fei, I will go first, so that when I join the Falling Star Academy, perhaps I could still be able to help you. After Zhu Mu Er got down from the airship, she was very jubnt and waved to Ning Cheng, as she, with extreme impatience, had already began rushing towards Mo Ze City along with the rest of the crowd. Ji Luo Fei looked at the countless tides of people moving towards Mo Ze City, and said with some worry in her voice, Xiao Cheng, before when I left this ce, it did not have this many people, now that I look at these many people here, Im afraid that it would be very difficult for us to find a ce to stay. Without.... Ji Luo Fei had always called him Xiao Cheng all along the way and was already used to it, now that Zhu Mu Er was gone, she still did not change the way she addressed him. Ning Cheng on hearing Ji Luo Feis words understood her meaning, he just simply waved his hands and said, Luo Fei, even if we do not enter Mo Ze City, I will not go look for your paternal aunt, the kind of person that your aunt is, is not something that I like. Ji Luo Fei just gave a tiny smile, Ah, then Ill just listen to you. As she also from the bottom of her heart, did not wish to go seek out her aunt, but she was afraid that Ning Cheng would not be able to find a ce to rest. Mo Ze City was not like other cities, they charged a fee to let one enter the city, though did not charge Spirit Stones but rather gold coins, if one wanted to enter the city then one would have to pay 10 Gold Coins. If it was an ordinary cultivator, it would basically wouldnt even be considered as money. But for the people who did not cultivate, this was a sky high price. Although Mo Ze City was a big city, it was basically a ce where only cultivators lived, as for the people who could not cultivate, other than the ves in thoserge ns, most of such people did not live inside the Mo Ze City, but rather lived around the outside of the Mo Ze City. When Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei entered the Mo Ze City, they immediately could see a 10 feet wide street in front of them. This street was too conspicuous, as not only was it spacious, but also was very prosperous. From time to time, there were even a few people passing by through the streets who were riding on fierce beasts, Ji Luo Fei whispered to Ning Cheng and said, Those people who are riding those tamed fierce beasts are the mark of them being from a very influential family, as for the foreign people here, there are only a very few of them who ride tamed fierce beasts. At this time, no one knew what scared a red fierce beast but it suddenly roared, and rushed into the crowd. Ning Cheng was a surprised for a moment in his heart, was this Mo Ze City also like the Cang Le City, to even let a fierce beast to go into wanton rampage in the streets? Ning Cheng soon came to know that that really was not the case, he saw that there was a young teenager wearing silk clothes on the back of the fierce beast, moreover he had a frightened expression on his face, apparently he did not think that his fierce beast would suddenly go on a rampage. Although there were several people on the road, none of them were hit by this fierce beast. as fortunately, in this street almost all of them were cultivators, and thus were able to easily escape on time. Although that beast ran for about a dozen meters, there were no casualties. But seeing that the fierce beast was getting faster and faster, and was going towards an even more dense crowd of people, suddenly a white shadow leapt out from a restaurant nearby. This white shadow immediately grabbed onto the head of the iing fierce beast, then as if the fierce beast had rammed into an iron wall it suddenly stopped, uttered a loud roar, then taking a few step backs, fell down on the ground with frothing out of its mouth. At this time the surrounding people could clearly see that that white shadow was a young man dressed in white, he was the one who had just used his hand to abruptly bring the fierce beast under control. A burst of cheers and apuse erupted, as many of the people hade to the Mo Ze City for the first time, as such many of them were actually looking forward to such disys of power in the Mo Ze City. Ji Luo Fei immediately took Ning Cheng to the side, and whispered into Ning Chengs ears, That person is the Mo Ze Citys Shui ns Shui Yu, my aunt had given me a portrait of him to look at, this is the person that my aunt wanted me to marry. Chapter 0090 – Rules Of The Preliminary Tournament Chapter 0090 C Rules Of The Preliminary Tournament Is he that son of a bitch? Ning Cheng looked at that white robed man who had cupped his fists towards the apuse from the crowd, and suddenly did not feel quite well in his heart. It was not much of a big deal that this person looked much better than him, but what he was bitter about was that he was already at the peak of the True Condensation 6th Level, just a step away from the Late Stages of the True Condensation Realm. It looks like he really has some good qualifications whenpared to me, moreover he already is at the peak of True Condensation 6th Level. Although in his heart he was a bit unhappy with this guy called Shui Yu, Ning Cheng still admired the speed with which he cultivated. When Ji Luo Fei heard Ning Chengs words, she said with a disapproving tone in her voice, He is much older than you, I heard that he is already 30 years old. Moreover, he also has a Pure Dual Line Main Spiritual Root, in addition to that he is also considered a genius within the Shui n and even the Hua Continent, as a result almost all the cultivation resources were piled up onto him since the beginning, in my opinion, he is just simply not as good as you. Lets first find a ce to settle down for a bit, lest you are found out by the people from the Shui n or your paternal aunt. Ning Cheng said as he did not want to continue wandering on the streets anymore. Ji Luo Fei also clearly did not want to walk on these streets, if not for apanying Ning Cheng here, she did not want to evene to the Mo Ze City. ...... Searching for a rest stop, Ning Cheng came to know that what Ji Luo Fei said was really not wrong, as the two people ended up looking for nearly 2 hours, and even when the sky turned dark, did they not find a ce to rest. Luo Fei, since we cannot find a ce to stay here, then lets go out of the city to stay. Ning Cheng finally said with some frustration in his voice. Ji Luo Fei was just going to agree, when she heard a surprised voice say, Ning Cheng? How in the world are you here? Were you not chased out of the Cang Le City by Gu Fei...... Hou Chuan? Ning Cheng immediately knew who the person was, it was Hou Chuan, one of the 10 students selected from the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy. At the gate of the Cang Qin 2 Star Academy, when Gu Fei had challenged him, Hou Chuan had alsoe out and said something in his favour. At this time on the side of Hou Chuan was standing a girl with a good appearance, it was evident that she had alsoe together with Hou Chuan. After having been recognised by Hou Chuan, Ning Cheng quickly came to understand, that Huo Chuan was now a student of the Falling Star Academy, and since Falling Star Academy was in situated in the Mo Ze City, it was normal for them to run into Huo Chuan or other students from the Academy. Hou Chuan did not finish his words, but from the expressions of the two, Ning Cheng immediately knew what he meant, since he was chased out of the Cang Le City, so how could he appear in the Hua Continents Mo Ze City which was so far away from the Ping Continent? It stood for reason that he should have been the one who had killed Gu Fei. I did not think that I would be able to meet Brother Hou like this, initially when I was forced out of the Cang Le City by Gu Fei, the two of us ended up fighting with each other, I was just lucky enough and killed Gu Fei in the fight. Ning Cheng casually exined it superficially, even if he encountered others, he would still give the same kind of off-handed exnation to them. Hou Chuan obviously did not believe Ning Chengs exnation, he knew that Gu Fei was also followed by Gu Yuming, so for Ning Cheng to be able to fight with Gu Fei was really odd. But he did not continue to enquire, looking at Ji Luo Fei who was standing beside Ning Cheng, he immediately understood that Ning Cheng should havee here to seek out Ji Luo Fei. At this time, his view about Ning Cheng hadpletely changed, some things that could not have beenpleted at all, were actuallypleted by Ning Cheng. Not to mention that that he not only escaped from the Gu Brothers, but even reached the Hua Continent from the Ping Continent, that itself was not a simple matter. Even if he came to the Hua Continent, trying to look for Ji Luo Fei in the Falling Star Academy, that was in itself an extremely hard task. But all these things were actually done by Ning Cheng, not only he was the one who did it, but he even did it perfectly. Just as before, when he looked at Ning Chengs cultivation, there did not seem to be any change, as a result he was not clear on what he saw. He only recently sessfully advanced to the Qi Gathering 7th Level, so he did not believe that Ning Chengs cultivation was actually higher than him. Brother Ning, are you looking for a ce to stay? Now that Hou Chuans opinion of Ning Chengpletely changed, even the tone of his voice conveyed that he wanted to make friends with him. Thats right, but at the moment we cannot find any ce for us to live in this Mo Ze City. Ning Cheng said with some regret in his voice. Hou Chuan looked at Ji Luo Fei, and spoke with some doubt, Junior Apprentice Sister Ji Luo Fei is already a student of the Falling Star Academy, as long as Junior Apprentice Sister just shows her identity, you can easily find any kind of amodation to rest in. Ning Cheng said hastily, Luo Fei is not a student of the Falling Star Academy at the moment, moreover we came to Mo Ze City without informing anyone, so I request Brother Hou to not say anything about the matter that Luo Fei came to the Mo Ze City. Hou Chuan nodded, even if Ning Cheng had not asked, he would not have told anybody about it, he simply was not a person who liked to gossip about people. Ill help you look. This kind of simple favour, Hou Chuan had already nned to carry out. Hou Chuan along with Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei arrived at a nearby rest stop, this rest stop was the same rest stop that Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei had just came from. However, this time when Hou Chuan showed his Academys Identity, it easily helped Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei to book a room. Seeing that Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei had only asked for a single room, Hou Chuan did not speak anymore. After saying a few words with Ning Cheng, he left the rest stop along with woman on his side. The reason why Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei chose to live together in the same room, was not because they were nervous, but because both of them just did not want to cause too much trouble to Hou Chuan, besides the main reason was to basically take mutual care of each other. I forgot to ask Hou Chuan about Meng Yu Jing. With Hou Chuan already gone, Ning Cheng suddenly patted his head, this kind of thing he should have asked first. For him to go find Meng Yu Jing by himself, he knew that he would have to face many difficulties. Ji Luo Fei just shook her head and said, Hou Chuan has never seen Meng Yu Jing, for him to help you, is just too difficult. If that is the case, then I will have to find a different approach. Now that the Mo Ze Grand za is currently hosting a mass recruitment of students, then I will go to the Clear Sky Academy tomorrow to have a look, while you stay here inside and cultivate. Ning Cheng thought that although Ji Luo Fei only spent a little time in Mo Ze City before, but he knew that there were definitely many people in this city who knew her. It would be much better for her to stay here in the room rather than roaming outside. Ning Chengs thinking was rtively simple, he and Ji Luo Fei wanted to go to an Intermediate ss Continent, so it was necessary for them to join a 5 Star Academy. Enjoying the cool air under the shade of a big tree, these words were not without reason. Moreover, the Clear Sky Academy was the best choice at the moment, Ning Cheng believed that he had the ability to be selected for the Clear Sky Academy and would not have to face much problem. As for Ji Luo Fei, he would use the Clear Sky Command Medallion for her that he had got from Kou Hong. ...... The second day, early in the morning, Ning Cheng arrived at the Mo Ze Grand za. The Hua Continent had too many Academies, Sects and ns, and all of them had opened their stalls in the Mo Ze City in the hopes of selecting disciples, Ning Cheng guessed that these Sects who could set up these temporary stalls in the Mo Ze Grand za were definitely not small entities. When Ning Cheng saw the Mo Ze Grand za, he actually did not expect it to be this huge. Ning Cheng made an initial estimate, that this Grand za actually had an area of dozens of square kilometres at the very least. Gathered on the za were numerous stalls of the Academies and several big and small ns and Sects, and were packed with innumerable disciples who came here for taking part in the selection exam of these Academies. Nevertheless, that markings of the five 5 Star Academies were very clear, and Ning Cheng in just a single nce was able to make out the stall for the Clear Sky Academy. Ning Cheng did not immediately go to the selection area of the Clear Sky Academy, but rather just followed the crowd from the Mo Ze City who had juste in to read the selection exam rules, these selection exam rules were carved onto a huge stone stele at the entrance of the za. After reading the words on the huge stone and asking around, Ning Cheng came to understand that his previous thinking was wrong. This Hua Continent had so many Academies, Sects and ns and all of them had gathered here in this extremelyrge Mo Ze Grand za, it was basically not a selection of disciples, rather it might be more urate to say that it was a preliminary elimination round. Only the people with the most outstanding performance in this preliminary round, would be eligible to participate in the actual selection of disciples, and would continue on to take part in the second round. The rules for this first round were very clear, moreover the first round was a written exam. All the cultivators who wanted to get into the second round must pass through the written test of this preliminary round, only after passing through the written test would they be eligible to participate in the second round. There were two ways to obtain the qualifications and get through the written exam. The first one was, if one had a Pure Main Spiritual Root, or a Dual Main Spiritual Root, then with it they could directly enter any Academy that he/she desires. The second way, was for the rest of the cultivators with other kinds of Spiritual Roots, only after passing the written exam would they be able to gain the qualifications to participate in the true selection of disciples for the 5 Star Academies. Third, a person can only give the written test a total of five times, moreover each time there can only be 5000 people that can participate. This written exam would be held once every month, for 5 continuous months. Ning Cheng sighed darkly in his heart, there were many cultivators who hade to Mo Ze City, but the total amount of people who could participate in the first round that was the written test was only 25,000. In other words, over 90% of the people here, would be ineligible to participate in the first round. But Ning Cheng knew that this was very fair, at least the ones participating would have a lot of chances. With so many stalls here to try, maybe they would be able to find a stall where they would be able to get a quota to enter the first round of qualifications. Moreover, this preliminary round would go on for about 6 months, so everyone would have a lot of time to prepare. If I could not gain the qualifications to enter the written round, then wouldnt it mean that then there would be no opportunity to participate in the first round itself? Someone immediately called out in surprise, as that person apparently though that this rule was wrong. Each of the Sects and ns have a set amount of quota that are eligible to participate in the First Round of the written exam, although for the low levelled Academies and the rest, the examination quota given to them is smaller than that that given to the 5 Star Academies. So if you have the ability, how would it not be possible for you to get in? But then again if you do not have the ability, then what are you doing here? Someone next to him immediately refuted the person who had just spoken. You all know that the quotas are already limited, so if someone secretly works behind the scenes, and have already reserved the quotas for someone else, why would they even wait for us? The person who thought that the rule was wrong, still disagreed. But that person who had refuted him before just continued to ignore him, and did not pay any attention to him, while he talked to the others besides him, Are you stupid, you know that a Lower Level Academy can send their students to a 5 Star Academy, dont you know just how big that kind of reward is? Or is it that you really do not have any idea about it. But that is still not the main point, if any of these Academies manage to get a good score during the written round, that Academy would instantly be famous, and more and more people woulde rushing towards them, whether it was an Academy or a Sect or a n all of them are obviously doing this for promotion. In that case, even if there were some people who dare to operate such shenanigans in secret, they would only do so if they really are tired of living. The higher the ability you have, then even in the Lower Level Academies, you would be much more popr. I know thatst month was the fourth First Round, and there was student from a 2 Star Academy who had scored 76 points in this Preliminary Round, and as a result was selected to go to the Clear Sky Academy. Even if that student was able to advance just to a 3 Star Academy, he would have gained a substantial amount of resources. Just what is this written test about? Someone asked. Who knows what the test is about? If it was known previously, would they still hold the written test? I only know that the contents of the 5 preliminary exams will always be different. ...... Ning Cheng came to understand, that if your qualifications were good, then you can directly go the 5 Star Academies, and participate in the preliminary written examination round on behalf of the 5 Star Academies. Even if your qualifications were not good, then you can still go look at the other Lower Level Academies, and then take the preliminary exam as a representative of the Lower Level Academies. Chapter 0091 – Clear Sky Command Medallion Chapter 0091 C Clear Sky Command Medallion Ning Cheng pulled aside a Qi Gathering Cultivator and asked, Friend, I heard people say that as long as you secure 76 Points in the written exam, you will be selected to go to the Clear Sky Academy? This cultivator stared at Ning Cheng and was quite for a while. evidently he was speechless and said, Did you just arrive at Mo Ze City? Do you even know what those 76 Points represent? You can go look at those big Array Formation Projection Screens that are disying the results of the previous written rounds, then you will immediatelye to know what a score of 76 Points represents. Ning Cheng looked in the direction of the finger pointed by the cultivator, and saw a row of 6 big screens that were actually formed from Array Formations. He walked to the front of the first Array Formation big screen, and immediately became clear on what that cultivator meant. These 6 big screens disyed the results of the previous written exams that were conducted in the past few months. On the first big screen showed the result of the first written exam. The Array Formation screen showed the names of only 500 people. ording to the rules of the preliminary round, where at each time only 5000 people could participate, the list only showed just a tenth of those participants. The highest score for the first written exam was 71 points, while the person at the 500th ce on the screen only had scored 10 points. The second screen showed the result of the 2nd written exam, but the highest score for this round was 94 point, while the second ce had only scored 63 points. It was the same with the 500th ce which also had only 10 points. Ning Cheng kept looking till the he reached the 4th screen which was showing the result of the 4th written exam, and finally discovered the person that was being talked about, the one that had scored 76 points, he had actually obtained the 3rd ce in this 4th written exam. The fifth big screen was ck, because the 5th written exam had still not started yet, and so was the 6th big screen. Ning Cheng found another person and asked, Will this 6th big screen show the final ranking of the preliminary round? Or will the 2,500 people from the five big screens will directly enter the next round? How could it be so simple? The 6th big screen will definitely show the final results of the ranking, but it isnt like what you are thinking about. In the end, out of the previous 5 written exams which disyed the results of the 2,500 people, only the top 1,000 from them would be selected to participate in the next round. This rule of selection that they follow, is ording to their scores which will be from the highest to the lowest. The man exined. The topics of each of the five written exams are different, doesnt that means the choice would be unfair to others? Although Ning Cheng did not know that the topics for each of the several written exams were different, but he guessed that it should be different, otherwise wouldnt the exam paper leak out already. Who said that it was absolutely fair? But since no one raised an objection, wouldnt it mean that no one had a problem with it. This person obviously did not know much. Although Ning Cheng did not know on what topic would the questions in the preliminary written exam be, but he simply did not think much about it, there were still a couple of days before the 5th written exam begins. How could he not know how many times in his childhood had he given such written exams, the others may fear such written exams, but how could be afraid of such an exam? At this time, he was making his way towards the Clear Sky Academy, he wanted to go ask about the Clear Sky Command Medallion if it could really be used at the Clear Sky Academy, what he wanted to ask was if he was able to represent the Clear Sky Academy in the written test if he used the Clear Sky Command Medallion. Even if he could not represent the Clear Sky Academy, there were still many stalls of various Sects and Academies in the za, so for him to find a spot to participate in the written exam from would be really easy. Compared to some of the Lower Level Academies and sects that werepletely overcrowded with people, there were only a very few people in front of the stalls of the big five 5 Star Academies. Everyone knew, that if you did not have a good Spiritual Root, then even standing in front of the 5 Star Academies would really be disgraceful. Excuse me...... What is the colour of your Main Spiritual Root? Ning Cheng did not even finish what he wanted to say, when he was interrupted by a middle aged man sitting in front of the stall of for the Clear Sky Academy. Ning Cheng had to say it, I do not have a Main Spiritual Root...... Pa. The middle aged man pounded the table, Who let in a person who does not have a Main Spiritual Root? Do you think that a 5 Star Academy is a joke? If everyone was the same as you, then how would we even exist? Fuck off. Ning Cheng almost drew the Spear that he was carrying on his back, he was only a mere Qi Gathering cultivator, yet he still dared to be this arrogant. I would like to ask if you could join the Clear Sky Academy with the Clear Sky Command Medallion? Ning Cheng still said with a stiff tone. What? Do really have the Clear Sky Command Medallion? Surprise shed on the face of the Qi Gathering middle aged man, as he immediately stood up, then even his tone also changed 180 degrees and said, Can you bring out the Clear Sky Command Medallion? So that I could check it. Ning Cheng took out the Clear Sky Command Medallion and ced it in the hands of the middle aged man, this middle aged man kept looking at the Command Medallion in his hands over and over, as his face kept changing. After more than ten breaths of time passed by, he finally muttered, Where did you get this Clear Sky Command Medallion from? Did you receive it from an ancestor or did you get a hold of it idently? Moreover, are you a rogue cultivator? Ning Cheng also did not want to hide it, and just said, Yes, I indeed am a rogue cultivator, and I also obtained this Clear Sky Command Medallion by chance.... The middles aged mans eyes shed with joy before it disappeared, then coughing slightly, his expression became dignified and he continued saying, Do you have any requests? When Ning Cheng saw the face of the middle aged man, he could finally feel that this Clear Sky Command Medallion really had some use, and directly spoke out his thoughts, I have a friend, and wanted to use this Clear Sky Command Medallion to let them join the Clear Sky Academy. If I may, I would like to ask, if I could use this Command Medallion to get a ce to participate in the written test? If the second request is not good, then just let them join.... Its OK, I know, that we can definitely satisfy your requests. I was already going to leave the Clear Sky Academys Stall, just fill in this form with all your details, and Ill see to it that you have a spot to take part in the 5th written exam. This middle aged man once again said while interrupting Ning Chengs words. Ning Cheng felt that something was wrong, he had taken out the Clear Sky Command Medallion, not for a spot in the written exam, his main purpose was to use this Clear Sky Command Medallion to let Ji Luo Fei join the Clear Sky Academy. Then he would enter the Clear Sky Academy by taking the test, by doing it this way, both of them would be able to join the Clear Sky Academy, and take care of each other afterwards. But this man just wanted to give him a spot in the written exam, and did not agree to the request of joining the Clear Sky Academy while using the quota. Ning Cheng did not fill up the form, and once again asked a question, My main request is not for a spot in the written test, but to join the Clear Sky Academy...... This middle aged man gave a cold snort, and once again interrupted Ning Chengs words and said, Every person who holds the Clear Sky Command Medallion, can make only one request, I have already satisfied one of your requests, if you dare cause a scene here, do not me me to call thew enforcers here. Ning Cheng understood that this guy did not want to let go of the Clear Sky Command Medallion, this kind of a shameless guy, he had seen for the first time. Just give the Clear Sky Command Medallion back, I am not making any requests. Ning Cheng said, although he really wanted to teach this middle aged person a lesson immediately, but he still held back his anger. The middle aged man looked at Ning Cheng with disdain and said, Do you think that the Clear Sky Command Medallion is childs y? This is something that my Clear Sky Academy gives out extremely rarely, after it is used toplete a request, it will be taken back, moreover we have already agreed to your request. Hurry up and fill out the forms, otherwise just give up. Ning Cheng was filled with anger, in this Qi Gathering Cultivators eyes, it was clear that he was not afraid to make this affair a big one. He simply said with a crisp voice, That being the case, then Ill just have to rush in, and look for someone else to talk to, and see how a mere Qi Gathering Cultivator like you can make such a decision? This Qi Gathering Cultivator saw that Ning Cheng was not at all intimidated by him, and immediately panic shed across his eyes, at this time, a man dressed in the schrly garments of an Essence Building Cultivator from the Clear Sky Academy arrived. This Essence Building Cultivator nced at the two people and asked in an unhappy tone, Just what the hell is going on here? Young Master Jing, this person has no Main Spiritual Root.... This Qi Gathering Cultivator had not even finished yet, when the cultivator called Young Master Jing stared coolly at Ning Cheng and said, This is a 5 Star Academy, moreover you do not even have a Main Spiritual Root, if you dare continue to cause trouble here, then do not me me for not being polite. Ning Cheng did not continue to argue, he was already prepared on taking back the Clear Sky Command Medallion. This Essence Building Cultivator, although looked like a gentleman, but he knew that he would not even listen to his words, plus the way this Clear Sky Academy chose this kind of person for the enrolment of students, it was obvious to him that the Clear Sky Academy was really not that good. Just when Ning Cheng wanted to take back the Clear Sky Command Medallion, he suddenly saw Lan Yin Yue, this Lan Yin Yue was following an old man who was an Essence Building Cultivator and seems to be heading this way. Ning Cheng did not continue to argue, and turned around and walked away. To him a Clear Sky Command Medallion was not that important. Taking revenge at this moment was not that important, he knew that if he had the opportunity, he would easily be able to deal with that Qi Gathering Realm cultivator of the Clear Sky Academy. At this time for him to join the Clear Sky Academy, he absolutely did not have any interest in it. This Clear Sky Academy was at best only a 5 Star Academy, it was simply not worth him to fawn over it. Moreover, he and Lan Yin Yue had huge grudge between them, and although he does not fear this woman, but by her side was still an Essence Building Cultivator which he really did not want toe in contact with. If not for that, then with this kind of major opportunity presented to him, he would have already taken Ji Luo Fei and forced his way through. When that Qi Gathering middle aged man saw that Ning Cheng actually did not argue and even turned away, he waspletely ecstatic in his heart. He had already nned it out, that if Ning Cheng really spoke out about the Clear Sky Command Medallion, that he had taken the Clear Sky Command Medallion from Ning Cheng, then he would have said that he had already carried out the one request as per the instructions of the Clear Sky Command Medallion. Using the Clear Sky Command Medallion to get into the Clear Sky Academy, was far from being that simple. With the Clear Sky Command Medallion, not only could you join the Clear Sky Academy, but can even select a Best Quality Artefact, and even get a hold of a True Grade Cultivation Method, much to the envy of others. Although he was one of the disciples of the Clear Sky Academy, but he was only an outer court disciple, once he could obtain the Clear Sky Command Medallion, then he could immediately get promoted to an Inner Court Disciple, and can then enjoy a wide range of benefits. Even if had to give back the Clear Sky Command Medallion into Ning Chengs hands, he had nned that as long as he could grasp the perfect timing, he would then go andpletely eradicate that Ning Cheng. ...... Although each written exam can have 5,000 people participating, but in fact, it was not that much. Ning Cheng went ce to ce from many of the 4 Star Academies to the 3 Star Academies, and had already inquired in about 20-30 stalls, but he still couldnt get a spot., Although his true cultivation level was at True Condensation Realm, but he concealed his cultivation level to look like Qi Gathering 9th Level. Although the preliminary rounds written exam was the same for both the Qi Gathering and True Condensation Cultivators, but during the final results, they would bepared separately. Once they were separated, then his cultivation of True Condensation 1st Level would undoubtedly be the worst among the True Condensation Cultivators. Ning Xiao Cheng? Ning Cheng suddenly heard someone calling him from behind, he did not need to turn back, and already knew that the person who called him was Zhu Mu Er. This woman really was everywhere, listening to her happy tone, he guessed that she had already obtained a spot for the tournament. Ning Cheng finally turned back and sure enough saw Zhu Mu Er waving her hand towards him excitedly, walking towards her with a smile he said, Good Coincidence, Zhu Mu Er. Chapter 0092 – The Terrible Topics of the Written Exam Chapter 0092 C The Terrible Topics of the Written Exam Didnt Sister Luo Feie with you? Did you alsoe to find a spot for the written round? Thats right, I know, youre helping your younger sister Lou Fei to find a ce, right? Zhu Mu Er immediately connected those questions as she asked Ning Cheng. After she asked, she basically did not wait for Ning Cheng to answer and once again turned around to face the man sitting behind her with the face like a bitter gourd and said, Academy Head Yin, you might as well give us the other spot that you have, anyway you know that its useless for you, you could not find a better person as a representative for your Hua Yu Academy to attend the written exam. After that bitter gourd like face man heard the words of Zhu Mu Er, his face immediately became even more ugly, and said, Miss Mu Er, I only have a total of two spots that were given to me, I gave one to you already, now you ask me to give you one more, it would be better if you went somewhere else to look. Zhu Mu Er just waved her hands and said, One or two spots does not bother me, you can rest assured, the things that I promised you, I will certainly help you out. My father always followed my words, and would not hesitate for even half a moment, youll only be making a good profit from this. Besides, if you go by yourself, I guess that you would not be even able to enter the list, so it would be better if you let me and Sister Luo Fei attend, or do you really think that you would be able to enter the second round, just because you are from the Hua Yu Academy. Ning Cheng did not expect that this Zhu Mu Er would be so glib, not to mention that he did not even know what kind ofmitment did she make with the Hua Yu Academy. The man sitting at the stall of the Hua Yu Academy looked like he had the cultivation of True Condensation 9th Level, and as such should be the Dean of the 2 Star Academy. For a True Condensation 9th Level cultivator to be so polite with Zhu Mu Er, it was certainly not because he had good rtions with Zhu Mu Er, it should be because Zhu Mu Er had promised something important to him, but also, this matter also had to do something with Zhu Mu Ers father. Ning Cheng thought back to when Zhu Mu Er had casually taken out a Level 3 Healing Pill, then thinking about the True Condensation 9th Level cultivators behaviour towards Zhu Mu Er,bined with his concern about the things that Zhu Mu Er promised, Ning Cheng could almost guess that Zhu Mu Ers father must be a Pill Master. The thing that this Academy Head Yin was seeking from Zhu Mu Er, was very likely to be an Essence Building Pill. To a True Condensation 9th Level cultivator, nothing was more important to them than an Essence Building Pill. Is you father a High Tier Pill Master? Ning Cheng immediately asked to confirm his guess. Hey, how do you know that my father is a Pill Master? Zhu Mu Er immediately became astonished and looked at Ning Cheng in surprise. Ning Cheng really became speechless, in his heart he spoke, you already have the words practically written on your face, my father is a Pill Master. How could it be hard to guess? For her to walk with such a disposition around the Hua Continent, Ning Cheng may really end up worrying for her. A few days ago she was still saying that she would rely on her own abilities to make some achievements to let her father see her in a new light, but now she was using her fathers reputation to show off everywhere, this Zhu Mu Er really was .... Academy Head Yin only hesitated for a moment, after hearing Ning Cheng ask Zhu Mu Er about her father, he finally grit his teeth and said, Fine, Ill give the two ces to you. However, after this matter is concluded, you must take me to see the Master Pharmacist. Zhu Mu Er received the Jade Card from Academy Head Yin and handing it to Ning Cheng, she said proudly, Look, is this not the Jade Card to participate in the first round of Written Examinations? Ning Cheng received the Jade Card and thanked Zhu Mu Er, then he turned to Academy Head Yin and said, Academy Head Yin, thank you very much for the Jade Card, I will definitely not let the spot given to me go for nothing. Good, Good, these words I have already spoken them once, so you repeating it ispletely meaningless. Zhu Mu Er waved her hands, and spoke in a very grand fashion. Ning Cheng put away the Jade Card, looked at Zhu Mu Er and asked, Did you find a ce to live? If Zhu Mu Er had not found a ce to stay, then Ning Cheng had the intention to ask if Zhu Mu Er would be willing to live with them in the rest stop. Of course, I found it easily, to put it simply, there a lot of people here who know my father. Zhu Mu Er said without any hesitation. It appears that this Zhu Mu Er to prove herself to her father that she could rely on her own, was still something that she had a long way to go. Ning Cheng scratched his head and once again said to Zhu Mu Er, Then I will go back, otherwise Luo Fei would be anxiously waiting for me, I hope you can do well in the first round, and then make your father hold you in high regard. Thats natural, I am also going back. Zhu Mu Er finished, but also did not forget to say her goodbyes to that Academy Head Yin from the Hua Yu Academy before going. ....... After Ning Cheng said goodbye to Zhu Mu Er, he returned to the rest stop and spoke about the Jade Card that he had obtained from Zhu Mu Er to Ji Luo Fei, Ji Luo Fei actually felt that this Zhu Mu Er had a really straightforward personality. As the few days passed by quickly, Ning Cheng did not go out to look for Meng Yu Jing during these past few days, he knew that if wanted to meet Meng Yi Jing with his status, it was simply not possible at the moment. On this day, it was the appointed day for the 5th Written Test Round, Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei had already arrived at the Mo Ze Grand za a long time ago. In order to prevent Ji Luo Fei from being recognised by her paternal aunt, Ning Cheng specifically asked Ji Luo Fei to don a veil, and even wear a wide brimmed hat for women. If she did not intentionally sweep her with her Spiritual Consciousness, Ning Cheng believed that Ji Luo Fei would not be recognised. The Mo Ze City za was soon packed with cultivators that arrived from all directions, because today was the 5th Written Exam Round, moreover after the 5th Written Exam Round ended, the first 1,000 people to enter the second round would also be disyed. Thus, the number of people in the Mo Ze za was extremely huge, as everyone wanted to know what kind of people would be eligible to enter the second round. The Written Exam would be conducted in an exam hall near the Mo Ze Grand za, after Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei confirmed their appointment, he entered the exam hall along with the rest of the participants. The hall was very spacious and even with 5,000 people sitting inside the hall it did not feel cramped at all. Ning Cheng looked at the number on the Jade Card, and sat ording to it, as the rest of the participants also entered the hall waiting for the round to begin. When he came into the hall he had tried to use his Spiritual Sense to sweep through it and found that his Spiritual Sense would not cover the entire hall, it could not extend to even half of the hall. Not only that, even his head turned nk for a few breaths of time. Other than the chair that he was sitting on, in front of him was just a table, with a few nk sheets of paper with a pen ced on top of it. Other than those things, there was nothing else. Half an hourter, a beautiful woman wearing a long white skirt came in, and first swept a nce at the people in the hall who hade to take the written exam, then walking to the front of the stage she said, Today is the Hua Continents five 5 Star Academiesst written exam round for the recruitment of disciples, and once todays round ends, the top 1,000 of these five roundsbined would be disyed. Most of the people from this top 1000 ranking would be selected by the 5 Star Academies, and a few of those lucky people may even get to participate in the tournament between the 5 Star Academies 2 yearster. I hope that everybody here in this round, can get the best results. This white long skirt wearing woman was not only very beautiful, even her voice was very melodious, making the people who listened to her feel a pleasant and enjoyable sensation in their hearts, and hoped that she continued speaking. Perhaps she was one of the teachers in the 5 Star Academy, so thinking that if they were able to enter a 5 Star Academy, they would then be taught by such beautiful teachers, all the participants immediately became fired up, and got ready to fight it out, everyone here hoped that this time they would be the ones who would get the best result. After the beautiful woman finished speaking, she paused for a moment, so as to let everyone there understand how important this 5th Written Round was, then she continued on with her gentle tone, Todays written exam is of three and a half hours long, of which you will be allowed to look at the topic of the exam for a full 3 hrs, but you will only get half an hour to answer the questions...... When Ning Cheng heard that the exam was of three and a half hours, he was immediately surprised in his heart for a moment, as he thought why would it be so long? If that was the case, then wasnt the exam practically equivalent to 7 full hours. But then when he heard that of these three and a half hours, three hours would be given to just look at the topic of the exam, and would only have half an hour to answer the questions, he immediately became even more confused. Although the topic of this written exam is different from the topics of the four previous exams, but I can assure you that the degree of difficulty is the same. The topics for the four previous written exams were: the basics of Talismans, Array Formations, Crafting (Weapon Refining) and Restrictions. So today we want to test your familiarity with the knowledge of Alchemy, of course, it would only cover the basic materials. The beautiful woman had just finished speaking, when a lot of discussions started to spring up, even Ning Cheng also frowned. He had never bothered to study the basics of Alchemy, as the matter stood, wouldnt the people who studied Alchemy profit greatly in this test? No wonder the top scores in the previous four exams were so different from each other, the people who had achieved the top score were definitely the one who knew about those topics thoroughly. When the beautiful woman saw that there was quite a lot of noise, she immediately raised her hands and started to exude an immense pressure, After everybody looks at the topic, you wille to know, that even if some of the people here have studied some Alchemy, they will also stand with you on the starting line. Of course, it does not rule out that there might be some people among you who have learned about the topic beforehand and studied up on it, and even if I bring out the topic they would have already known about it. So there would always be some people who would get a high score, that is because they had tried hard enough for them to get such a chance. Thinking about it, even if some people knew more about the topic, if a person worked hard and got an opportunity, wouldnt the 5 Star Academy only chose a disciple who was the stronger of the two? The beautiful woman saw that everyone seems to have understood her point, and said with a smile, Everybody, you do not have to keep looking at my face, please look at the tables in front of you, each table has a Projection Array Formation inscribed on it. This time the topic we have chosen is from the basics of Alchemy and mainly focuses on Spiritual Grasses that are used in Alchemy. We have already recorded most of the major Spiritual Grasses used along with their colour, taste, form and texture, however due to time constraints we did not record all of the Spiritual Grasses, and as such the topic only has 4600 pages. These 4600 pages of information about Spiritual Grasses are avable on the Projection Array Formation on your desk and you would only be given three hours to read through it, and within these 3 hours you will have to remember as much as possible of these 4600 pages. After the three hours passes, the questions for the exam would be chosen at random from these 4600 pages...... Almost every participant sucked in cool air, no wonder the scores of the previous tests were so low, trying to memorize the contents of 4600 pages in just 3 hours, this was extremely crazy. Ning Cheng also turned gloomy like the others, and after hardly waiting for less than 5 seconds, immediately looked at the paper in front of him. Because Ning Cheng knew that the content on just one piece of paper here was simr to the content of two papers back on Earth. Moreover, not only the pages here wererger, even the characters were in extremely small print, it was really terrible. Ning Cheng was just thinking to use his Spiritual Sense which was even more powerful than other cultivators and would easily help himmit things to his memory before the beautiful woman once again said, Once the papers of the Spiritual Grassese out, everybody pleasemit this to your memory, do not use your Spiritual Sense, as everything here is shielded from the use of Spiritual Sense. If you use your Spiritual Sense here, not only would you be able to see nothing, but even your mind will also turn nk for a few breaths of time. Not being able to use ones Spiritual Sense, and having topletely rely on their own memories, Ning Cheng finally understood why his mind had gone nk for a moment before. Ning Cheng thought to himself, with his powerful memory capabilities, he did not believe that he would be able to score less than 70 or 80 points. Well, introducing you all up to this point. I invite you all who are participating in this written exam to pay attention to your own tables, the projection will begin in a moment. Just as the beautiful woman finished speaking, Ning Cheng immediately saw that on the front of the table appeared the first page of the Spiritual Grass Manual which was packed with extremely dense characters, so at this point Ning Cheng did not dare to continue to think of anything else, and immediately started tomit the information about the Spiritual Grasses to his mind. The first page was disyed only for five seconds, before it was reced by the second page. The people with a poor memory, simply could not even memorize the first few lines of the first page, before the page was reced by the next one. Chapter 0093 – Who Is The First Chapter 0093 C Who Is The First Only a little bit of time had passed, when some people after reading hundreds of pages, immediately fainted. With this much of information that shed across in just a few seconds, trying tomit this to their memory without using their Spiritual Sense really was simply impossible. Even if one had a powerful memory, if they used it continuously for a few hours with high intensity, even they would find it extremely hard tomit such dense information to their memory. After an hour passed by, people fainting were already amon sight, moreover there were even a few cultivators participating in the written exam who even coughed up blood on the scene because of overusing their brains. But at this point of time Ning Cheng had already sunk into a trancelike state as he gobbled up the information in front of him, although the contents of the exam did indeed put some pressure on him, but the pressure was not so great. Every time he had gone to write an exam back on Earth, he would only start to read the materials just 1-2 hours before the exam. This kind of memory was also a great strength, especially at this particr moment, because he already had a lot of time before the actual test, moreover he also did not need to score a 100 points, he simply keptmitting the information that shed past him to his mind. Although it took 5 seconds to sh through to the next page, but for Ning Cheng it was still within affordable range. Ning Cheng knew, that regardless of any ce, this really was a very special ability. In the Yi Xing Maind where the main focus was on cultivation, although this special ability was amazing, but it was not as outrageous as it would have been back on Earth. At the beginning, after Ning Cheng read both sides of the page, the page on the Array Formation would immediately refresh to a new page. But going forward, Ning Cheng could read the entire page and still have time to spare. Although he could only spare half a second of time, but it enabled Ning Chengs brain to rest for a while as he sorted out the information. Arriving at the end, Ning Cheng felt that regardless of the test or not, he felt that reading these things would be extremely beneficial to him. The content contained the various details of the Spiritual Grasses including their shape, grade, colour, odour and other recognizable characteristics, including the various growing environments of the Spiritual Grasses and the special effects due to the variousbinations with other Spiritual Grasses, which could then be used to refine pills. These things Ning Cheng deeply imprinted them on his mind, as he believed that these things would definitely be useful for him in the future. Even though An Yi had given him the foundation book of the Spiritual Grasses, but it did not contain even a tenth of the information that he had before him. For Ning Cheng, these three hours truly went by in a sh, when he found that the projection on the table in front of him disappeared, only then did he grudgingly lifted up his head with the expression of wanting more on his face. Looking at the still standing beautiful woman on the stage, Ning Cheng felt a surge of goodwill for this beautiful woman in his heart, counting the three hours that shed by, by the end of the test she would have been standing in that ce for almost a full 4 hours, he could feel that this teacher was truly verypetent. Ning Cheng could also see that this woman also had the cultivation of at least Essence Building Realm, or probably even surpassed the Essence Building Realm. All the participants who were attending the preliminary written test also looked up after the projection ended, and once again refocused their gazes on the beautiful woman. That young woman once again spoke with a warm voice, There is still a half an hour period remaining, we will now give everybody the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, to sort out the things in your mind. The entire examination hall waspletely silent, and just as the time it takes for an incense stick to burn finished, that young woman once again continued, Before we begin the written exam, all the participants are requested to please write your name on the topmost square on the nk sheet. After waiting for a moment, guessing that everybody would have already written their names, this beautiful young woman then said, Now for the questions, everyone please look at the front of your table where the questions would once again be projected in front of you for the written test. On the white paper in front of you, you will have to write the various characteristics and the properties of 10 random Spiritual Grasses that would be shown, remember to keep it as detailed as possible, the level of detail, will show the degree ofprehension that you gained from this Spiritual Grass article. Of these ten questions, each question has 10 points, with a total of 100 points. Ning Cheng sighed, these kinds of questions really did not pose any challenge for him as he had thought. He had just memorized all the Spiritual Grass articles that was shown to him, so as long as the subject of the questions were about those Spiritual Grasses, he would certainly be able to write it down. Ning Cheng once again looked at the questions, just to see if it really was from the Spiritual Grass Articles that was just shown. If he had not seen the Spiritual Grass Article a moment ago, then if he wanted to attempt those questions, he would not have been able to, because he had never seen any other books. But when Ning Cheng saw the tenth question he was suddenly dumbfounded, Please write the name of the first Spiritual Grass on page 2932 along with its introduction as well as its various characteristics. It was not that he did not know about it, he had memorized not only all the contents of the pages but he even memorized the serial number of each page. The key problem in answering that, would mean exposing his extremely powerful memory. If he did not attempt this problem, then at least he could pretend that he had never seen this Spiritual Grass in the article provided. Ning Cheng knew that even if he did not attempt this question, he could definitely enter any of the 5 Star Academies. If that person with 76 points could enter, then if he got 90 points and was not able to enter the Academy, it really would be a strange event. If he attempted this question, he would really have stolen the show, and would not be of much advantage to him. At best, he would be ranked first rather than second, and then would have to enter the second round with the identity of the First Ranker, moreover he would also not have any real reward. Regarding exposing his memory capabilities in this ce, Ning Cheng was not particrly worried about it as Yi Xing Maind and the Earth were twopletely different ces, as here more importance was given to cultivation rather than memory. There were all kinds of strange people here, so having a strong memory was not much of an issue. If one had a strong Spiritual Sense in the future, then ones memory would be just a secondary characteristic. Ning Cheng saw that there were no substantial rewards, and even if there was a reward, he did not want to go out in the limelight. After all his body also had the Mysterious Yellow Bead inside, since the Mysterious Yellow Origin had helped him remould his Meridians, it had alreadypletely fused with him. Although Ning Cheng believed that an ordinary person would not be able to sense the Mysterious Yellow Bead in him, but it would always be better to be careful, since he had already reached his goal, then why should he be in the limelight? The nine questions were soon finished by Ning Cheng, while he left the 10th question nk. Seeing that half an hour had already passed, this middle aged beautiful woman suddenly said, In this written examination, other than themon questions, also contains one more bonus question, this question is also for 10 points but you all will get 10 minutes to answer this question. Moreover, this bonus question would not be projected onto the screen but rather would be spoken out by me, so please listen to the question carefully. Ning Cheng then understood, that the original perfect score was 110 points, if this bonus question was something that he could do, he would definitely do it, as long as it was not especially noticeable, he would not continue to pretend to not be able to do it. Seeing all of the participants ready with their pen and paper, this middle aged beautiful woman spoke in a slow voice, We all have looked at the foundation article on the Spiritual Grasses, and now the bonus question is the simplest of all the questions about the Spiritual Grasses that you have attempted till now. The question is as follows, there are ten different Spiritual Grasses, if you need to choose 6 Spiritual Grasses to refine batch of pills, then all together how many selection methods could you perform? This question really sounded simple, and some of the people enthusiastically started to scribble the answer on the nk sheet of paper in front of them. Ning Cheng was shocked, was this actually a problem of permutations andbinations? He only needed three seconds to work out the solution of this problem, and the result was 210. But to think that this question was this simple was a big mistake. As to list out the various 210binations was a very difficult task to do in just a few minutes. Sure enough, the participants who had already begun to write them out started to know about the difficulty of the problem, this was simply not a problem of listing out a dozen or even several dozens ofbinations. Finally, the time soon came to an end, in the end the only people who were able topute the result along with Ning Cheng were very few. Time is up, please keep your own Jade Card on top of your answer sheets, as after 5 breaths, your responses will be directly transferred to us. After hearing that after 5 breaths, the answer sheets would be transferred away, those participants who were still writing the Spiritual Grasses selection methods, quickly wrote a casual figure, and pressed their own Jade Cards onto their answer sheets. Ning Cheng who had already finished answering, after his examination paper was transferred, followed the huge crowd of participants out of the examination room. Ning Cheng had juste out, when Ji Luo Fei who was already waiting for him outside came running to him and anxiously asked, How much did you score in the written exam? Getting on the list should not be any problem, the list will be out in a few moments, lets go out near the big screen and wait there. Ning Cheng said as he took Ji Luo Fei out of the crowd. ...... The area in front of the six huge Projection Array Formation screens in the Mo Ze za, was already packed with people. All of them were waiting for the test results toe out. Because now that the 5 preliminary rounds of the written exam were over, all the people were now starting to talk about the topics, hearing that the participants in the 5th round had to remember nearly 5000 pages of the fundamentals of the Spiritual Grasses within 3 hours, and that too without Spiritual Sense, everybody suddenly became speechless with admiration. Immediately some people in the front also spoke that they had to memorise 4000 pages of foundation materials. Those people who hadnt participated in the preliminary rounds, absolutely did not have any idea about this kind of exam. Brother Yi Yang would certainly be the first, I estimate that after his score of 94 came out, even the teachers who examined the test papers would not have believed it. Ning Cheng heard this from a young girl in pink dress who was standing not far away from him, as she spoke with a chuckle. It goes without saying, you can see that even Brother Leng who scored 76 points and in the third round is too far off. The people besides the young girl immediately spoke up. A man dressed in a white robe immediately spoke up with a condescending voice, The results of the 5th round are still not out, so saying who would be first at this time would be too early. Brother Yi Yang, you will absolutely be first. I think that the only person with a Pure Spiritual Root participating in this preliminary examination, is only you Brother Yi Yang. The girl did not agree with the words of that man and spoke up. That certainly is ones real strength. If others had a Pure Spiritual Root, then why would they participate in the preliminary round. What is the purpose of this round? Isnt it to be selected by the 5 Star Academy? Brother Leng had a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root, which one of the 5 Star Academies would not want him. Some of the nearby people echoed from the side. I heard that the representative of the Thunder 5 Star Academy is Ling Naixin who also has a Pure Spiritual Root, she could easily be the core disciple of the Thunder Academy, but she is also the same as Brother Leng, and wanted to take part in the preliminary rounds of the written test. A grey robed youth said out loud, and also refuted that pink robed girl. Ling Naixin? Wasnt she the one from the 3rd written exam, who was ced first with a score of 85 in the exam? Someone asked in surprise. Apparently he did not think that two of the high scores would be scored by two different people with Pure Spiritual Roots. Even if that Ling Naixin has Pure Spiritual Roots, she only scored 85 points, so in the overall ranking she would only be ced 2nd, and Brother Yi Yang would still be first. That pink dressed girl still supported this Brother Yi Yang of her. More and more people were now joining in the discussion, as that white robed man cupped his fists in front of him while appearing to be modest, but the pride in his eyes showed that he had already taken being first as granted. Ning Cheng also understood, that this person should be the one who scored 94 points in the preliminary round, and should be the one called Leng Yi Yang. But at the moment he was thinking about Shui Yu who had jumped down from the restaurant, who was also wearing a white robe, and could not help but muttering the phrase, Sure enough to demand respect, one has to be dressed in white. Why would one have to dress in white to demand respect? Ji Luo Fei had just asked the question, when they heard someone cry out, The 5th Array Formation Screen has lit up, the 5th written exam results are about toe out. Chapter 0094 – The First In The Written Round Chapter 0094 C The First In The Written Round Ning Cheng saw Ji Luo Fei looking at him, but then everyone heard a voice say Didnt I say that the white robed guy who scored 94 points in the exam, for him to get first ce, was simply a dream. Ji Luo Fei spoke with some doubt, But 94 points is truly very high, ah, I see the second name to be 85 points, while the third and fourth ces both have 70 points.... At this point, Ji Luo Fei as if she understood the meaning of Ning Chengs words, quickly asked, Do you mean to say that there is someone who scored even higher than 94 points in the 5th written exam? But I heard that the 5th written exam was even more difficult than the previous 4 written exams. How could anyone even score more than 94 points in that kind of exam? If there really was such a person, then wouldnt it be equivalent to going against the heavens. Ji Luo Fei had also listened clearly to the conversations, trying to memorize almost 5000 pages of content within 3 hours of time, and that to without using their Spiritual Sense, just how could a normal person even aplish it? Ning Cheng somewhat sheepishly touched his hair and said, It is not considered as going against the heavens, but it seems I am not that person. It appears that next time I will have to put on white clothing, and then ...... Speaking till there, Ning Cheng suddenly saw that schr like Leng Yi Yang move towards them, cupping his hands in front of Ji Luo Fei he said, The 5th Written Exams results have not yete out, so I cannot say that I certainly will be the first. Ning Cheng suddenly felt that this Leng Yi Yang was acting as if he had already assumed to be the first, he was trying to act humbly in front of Ji Luo Fei, Leng Yi Yang thought that he would win over them in front of these many people, and was presumably very proud of it. Ji Luo Fei almostughed out because of the joke Ning Cheng cracked just a moment ago, and the unpleasant idea of her returning to Mo Ze City, also had disappeared without a trace. Sister Luo Fei, how did you fare in your test? They did not know how Zhu Mu Er had found them, but when she saw Ning Cheng, she knew that the woman standing beside Ning Cheng would only be Ji Luo Fei. When Ji Luo Fei saw Zhu Mu Er, she hastily replied, I did not write the 5th Round, Xiao Cheng did. Oh, what a pity, then there really is no hope, I also did not write the test well. I know that I should have looked at my dads medicine books beforeing here, its toote to regret it now. Zhu Mu Er said with an upset voice. Saying that, she said to Ning Xiao Cheng, Ning Xiao Cheng, in a short while when you meet Academy Head Yin, you just say that there were some faults in the projection, so as to avoid his thinking that he had wasted his two quotas. Just a moment ago he was muttering the same thing in front of me for a long time, I only just managed to put him off. Ji Luo Fei said in an unexpectedly good mood, Sister Mu Er, Xiao Cheng said that he would be first on the 5th written test, you do not have to be too disappointed. Perhaps because she had never seen Ji Luo Fei crack a joke, but when Zhu Mu Er heard Ji Luo Fei say that, she became stunned for a moment, and only after a long while, she pointed at Ning Cheng andughed, You say that Ning Xiao Cheng would get the first ce in the 5th written exam, ha-ha, this really is too funny...... Zhu Mu Er was alreadyughing loudly, so before she could even react, many people had already turned their stared towards her. Truly shameless, even with Brother Yi Yang here, there are still people here that dare to say that they are first. Fuck! this kind of person is really too much. Brother Leng, that person really is shameless, he even said that he woulde first in the entire preliminary round. Someone who was standing beside Leng Yi Yang spoke up, not only him but a lot of people were not feeling good about Ning Chengs words. What he seems to say was that he would be the first in the 5th written round. Leng Yi Yang waved his hand, and with a bit of chill in his voice he said, Such people are everywhere, there is no need to heed about them, the more you heed them, the more he would think that he is fantastic. If he knew that he was just a clown, he would not say such a thing. Is that so? Maybe he really is the first? A voice emerged from the surrounding. Leng Yi Yangs face changed, as he immediately saw a white robed man in front of him, his cultivation level was also above him, at least it was not something that he could perceive. This friend, I was just talking with this friend here...... Leng Yi Yang had not yet finished, when he was once again interrupted, Didnt you and your friends not discuss about me, when Ie and speak up, didnt you find it meddlesome? Although you did not speak about me, however werent you just now speaking happily about my Junior Apprentice Sister, this kind of thing is nothing to be proud of. The second round has not yet even started, so speaking to others like this, doesnt this make you feel ashamed. It seems that this person hade out to defend Ling Naixin, the corners of Leng Yi Yangs mouth twitched a few times, and although he did not speak, but his eyes already showed, that even if he did not defend against this kind of injustice, he still had scored higher than Ling Naixin. Not far away was a young girl wearing a purple dress who was looking at the liveliness at this ce, and was somewhat speechless as she shook her head. But another young girl beside her actually spoke up in disdain, This Leng Yi Yang just scored a few more points in the first written test, the second round hasnt even started yet, and he is already swaggering around here, isnt that a little bit too early. That purple dress wearing young girl smiled and said, Compared to the person who said he would be the first in the 5th written round, at least this Leng Yi Yang was fairly low key. Moreover, at this present moment who knows if both of them would even have a face to exist. The young girl on her side also nodded to her sentence. I am really sorry, Ning Xiao Cheng, I seem to have brought some trouble towards you. Zhu Mu Er knew that her ownugh was too loud, and spoke apologetically. Ning Cheng just waved his hands and said, You really did not speak wrong a moment ago, as I truly am the first. The results would be out soon, and Ning Cheng felt that he did not have any more reason to hide it. What? Zhu Mu Er thought that Ning Cheng had be muddleheaded. Compared to the trouble that would being towards me, the trouble you brought is simply nothing troublesome. Ning Cheng finished, as he calmly stared at Lan Yin Yue who was standing across him. The noise here was already too loud, as many people were looking at this ce, and since Lan Yin Yue was also here to see the list, so seeing her here was nothing unusual. You not only live longer but are also tougher than I thought, you even arrived at the Hua Continent, I really underestimated you. Lan Yin Yue spoke with an ice cold tone, if this was not the Mo Ze Grand za, she would have already attacked Ning Cheng. However, although she had such thoughts, she did not begin, now that she had found Ning Cheng, she would definitely not let him escape from her hands, this time she would do it herself. The list for the 5th Written Examination has alreadye out. A sudden voice interrupted Lan Yin Yue and Ning Chengs confrontation. All the people in the za immediately focussed on the 5th huge Array Formation projection screen, at the rows of names that were now starting toe up one by one. Hua Yus Ning Xiao Cheng, First ce, 100 points.... Someone from the crowd read out the first name aloud, making everyone present, hear the first name for the 5th Written Round. As everyone here was mostly concerned only about the first name and as such almost all of them only payed attention to it, they basically ignored the rest of the names on the list. But the moment Hua Yus Ning Xiao Chengs name was announced, it immediately attracted everyones attention, and no one was in the mood to pay any attention to the one who was at the second ce. But every persons eyes were not on the name of Ning Xiao Cheng on the list, but the score of 100 points in front of it. This was an unprecedented high score, it was also the first and only 100 points, as even in the previous four written rounds no one ever scored more than or even equal to a 100 points. Aaaah.... Before all the people even began to discuss, a high pitch scream emerged, Ning Xiao Cheng, are you really the first? Hua Yus Ning Xiao Cheng, yes, yes, that must be you, first, ha-ha, you really are the first...... This Zhu Mu Ers emotions werepletely out of control, she had thought that Ji Luo Fei had joked about Ning Cheng before, only now did she came to realize that it was not a joke, this really was way better than just gold. It was not until this point that the crowd also burst into all kinds of discussions, so Zhu Mu Er screaming out in the crows did not actually seem obtrusive. The first name is Hua Yus Ning Xiao Cheng, why havent I heard this name before? It should be because he is a representative of a small Academy, wasnt the 3rd Rank Gong Jun also a representative of a 2 Star Academy. I guess this Ning Xiao Cheng is also a representative of a Lower Level Academy for this round. That Gong Jun had only scored 76 points; how could we evenpare him to Ning Xiao Cheng? This Ning Xiao Cheng had scored 100 points, which means he is also the first of all the 5 written rounds. Just who said that the first ce was definitely Leng Yi Yangs? Now arent they covering up their beat up face. Yes, I have heard some people call Ning Xiao Cheng here a moment ago, just who is Ning Xiao Cheng? ...... Ji Luo Fei was foolishly gawking at the first name on the 5th big Array Formation screen, and did not react for a long while. She also knew the difficulty of the exam as she had heard the other people talking about it and immediately felt her scalp tingling, but now that she herself saw Ning Cheng score a 100 points, it was simply too outrageous. She realized that what he had originally said was true, and not a word about it was fake, moreover it turned out that what she had joked about with Ning Cheng actually came true. At this point the 6th giant projection screen started to disy the names, and sure enough the Number 1 name on the screen was the person who scored 100 points, and the one representing Hua Yu Academy, Ning Xiao Cheng. Some people who were looking at the 6th giant projection screen began to read out aloud, Ranked 1st, Hua Yus Ning Xiao Cheng, with 100 points. Ranked 2nd, Luo Huo Academys Leng Yi Yang, with 94 points. 3rd ce Thunder Academys Ling Naixin, 85 points. The 4th ce Clear Sky Academys Gong Jun, 76 points. 5th ce Falling Star Academys Yuan Liang, 74 points. 6th ce Thunder Academys Xi Men Gao, 71 points. 7th ce God Wind Academys Meng Jing Xiu, 71 points...... Hey, howe in the top seven, the God Wind Academy is only ranked at 7th ce? Hearing someone else read the names, everyone felt that the God Wind Academys position was really a bit too bad. In regards to the top seven contestants being mostly from all the 5 Star Academys, nobody was surprised. Even about Ning Xiao Cheng who had taken the first ce, as he would soon be joining a 5 Star Academy as a disciple. Are you really Ning Xiao Cheng? Lan Yin Yue stared at Ning Cheng and frowned, in her heart she suddenly had a bad feeling, if Ning Xiao Cheng was really the first, then she absolutely would not be able to kill Ning Xiao Cheng. It basically did not take long for her to understand, that Ning Xiao Cheng would definitely be rushing to a 5 Star Academy. As a student of a 5 Star Academy, although she was a True Condensation Cultivator, but since she came from the Ping Continent, she could not dare to make a move on him. At this moment, she was even somewhat regretting that she should have killed Ning Cheng long before. Chapter 0095 – Who Is Ning Xiao Cheng Chapter 0095 C Who Is Ning Xiao Cheng Just where is this Hua Yu Academy? Who is the person in charge of this Hua Yu Academy? ...... When the 5th written exams result came out, Hua Yu Academy became the most popr three words among the people, in the entire Mo Ze Grand za, everyone was enquiring about where the Hua Yu Academy was situated. Other than the enquiries about the stall of the Hua Yu Academy, there was a huge crowd of cultivators outside the stall of the Hua Yu Academy wanting to join them, more than even the five big 5 Star Academiesbined. As for the ones in charge of the five 5 Star Academies, they immediately began a door to door search for Ning Xiao Cheng, who obtained the first position in the written exam, it was more than necessary for them to find this Hua Yu Academy. ...... Ning Cheng looked at the ever changing face of Lan Yin Yue, and said in a cold voice, Get lost, well settle our ounts slowly. Lan Yin Yues facial expression rapidly changed, this person who she considered even beneath ants in her eyes dared to call her out. But then she thought that Ning Cheng was soon going to be disciple of a 5 Star Academy, she now did not have a reason to fight with him. Her position was simply to bring the few disciples with Pure Spiritual Roots from her Academy to the Falling Star Academy, and as such did not have anything to do with the Falling Star Academy. If Ning Cheng really ended up bing a student at a 5 Star Academy, then he would definitely try to take his revenge, even she knew that the Falling Star Academy would not protect her. Moreover, An Yi was also Ning Chengs cousin, once she learned the truth, with An Yis qualifications, Lan Yin Yue knew that she would not be able to continue on. Yin Yue, youre really here,e apany me to the Hua Yu Academys stall, for Hua Yu Academy to send out a student like Ning Xiao Cheng, our Falling Star Academy.... The one who hade over was an old man of the Essence Building Realm, with the Falling Star Academys emblem on his clothes. What happened to you? He had not yet finished, when the Essence Building Cultivator saw that something was not right with Lan Yin Yue, as he reached out and grabbed Lan Yin Yues wrist. Lan Yin Yue tried to shake off her hand while saying, Brother He Hong, please behave. But this Essence Building Cultivator refused to let go of Lan Yin Yues hand, moreover he also did not get angry, instead he stared at Ning Cheng who was standing opposite to Lan Yin Yue and shouted with a cold voice, Was is you who made Junior Apprentice Sister angry? Immediately kowtow to Junior Sister Yin Yue and apologize. If not for the prohibition of fighting in the Mo Ze Grand za, this He Hong wold have already taken the initiative to strike at Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng just said with contempt filling his voice, Looking at the person who had just rejected you, you still have the guts to seek out your father? Are your dog eyes blind? Before Ning Cheng did not dare to cause trouble at the entrance of the Falling Star Academy, because he was already too clear on his own status back then, he knew that once he made trouble, he would be captured and killed, and would probably be just like a soap bubble being punctured, there would not even be half a ripple. But he knew that things were now radically different, since he was the first in written rounds final list, no one would casually dare to blow up the soap bubble that he was. You are courting death. This was something that this He Hong could not endure, for a mere junior cultivator to ridicule him like this, he had already raised his hands to strike him. Although he very much wanted to denounce the rules of the Mo Ze Grand za before and punish him, but now he could actually continue with it, at least he already had a good excuse, as the opposite party was just a junior cultivator who dared to ridicule an Essence Building Senior. When Ning Cheng saw that He Hong was starting to act, he also did not hesitate for even half a moment, and immediately took the Spear that he was carrying on his back into his hands, he would let this He Hong strike first, so that he could then use the Spear in his hands to immediatelyy waste to He Hongs palms. He believed that if he used his Spearter, then when the person in charge of thew enforcement came out, then as long as he gave out his name, he would definitely not eat a big loss. Stop. A powerful force surged over to their side. This He Hongsplexion immediately changed, and abruptly stopped his palm from striking Ning Cheng. This He Hong did not dare to continue, and Ning Cheng also did not use his Spear, since this He Hong had already stopped, he would also not take the initiative to provoke him, as there was no rational reason for him to do so. The reason why he did not begin yet, was because he knew that he did not have absolute power. As long as you had real power in your hands, then when you begin, the other people would also not ask you for the reason, even if what you said made the other party unhappy, there would be nobody who would say that his reason was wrong, even if the others chime in, that it wasnt right, the opposite party would still seem like the bad guy. But it was regrettable, that at this moment, he did not have that kind of strength. Deacon Jia, this one is one of the teachers of the Falling Star Academy, He Hong. He Hong immediately cupped his fists and greeted. He knew that the one in front of him was Deacon Jia, he simply cannot be considered anything in front of him. The one in front of him was called Jia Han, and was one of thew keepers of the Mo Ze Grand za with a cultivation of Profound Congealing 6th Level, which simply could not bepared to him at all. You are a cultivator of the Essence Building Realm from the Falling Star Academy, dont you know that you are not allowed to fight in the Mo Ze Grand za? Although this Jia Han was holding He Hong ountable, but he had already rxed his aura and also his tone, it was obviously because this He Hong was a person from the Falling Star Academy. As for Ning Cheng, he was just a trifling person with a cultivation of True Condensation 1st Level. When Jia Han finished, he stared at Ning Cheng with a cold glint in his eyes and said, And you, you even dared to take out your Artefact in the Mo Ze Grand za, you really have guts that cover the heavens. Ning Cheng just calmly put his Spear on his back again, and first cupped his fists in front of Jia Han and said, Hua Yu Academys Ning Xiao Cheng greets Deacon Jia Han, because this person tried to attack me for no reason at all, I had to bring out my Spear in self-defence. Using the name of Ning Xiao Cheng from the Hua Yu Academy, Ning Cheng knew that it would not go in vain. Are you really Ning Xiao Cheng? The Ning Xiao Cheng from the Hua Yu Academy who is the first in the 5th Written Exam? Jia Han immediately asked. Of course, he is the same Ning Xiao Cheng, amongst the two people who represented the Hua Yu Academy in the 5th Written Exam, he is indeed one of them along with me. Zhu Mu Er said as she finally calmed down, and even her speech did not have even a hint of surprise in them, at least it seemed that way to the people around her. Ning Cheng spoke with a very respectful and prudent tone, Yes, this junior is indeed the Hua Yu Academys Ning Xiao Cheng. Youre Ning Xiao Cheng? He Hong was also shocked, he did not think that his luck would be this bad, he wanted to y it cool in front of the person he liked, and ended up seeking out the guy from the first ce in the Written Exam. Although he did not fear Ning Xiao Cheng, however this Ning Xiao Cheng would surely join a 5 Star Academy, so he knew that he would be questioned for picking a fight with him for no reason at all. Leng Yi Yang who was also not far away was also shocked, he really had not expected that he would be the person who ranked first in the 5th Written Test, not only did he secure the first ce, he had also secured the absolute first ce in the entire written exam round. Before when he heard the words spoken by him, he had also thought of immediately killing him and erase the shame in his heart as he did not know who Ning Xiao Cheng really was. Now he only hoped that no one remembered the words spoken by him recently. But how could the others fulfil his wish, the white robed cultivator who had defended Ling Naixin stared at him and spoke in a mocking tone, Not long ago, wasnt there someone here who had ridiculed others by calling them out as a clown for thinking that they would get the first ce. Ha, it really is great, you really are a clown, ha-ha.... As this white robed cultivator spoke, he kept staring at Leng Yi Yang, until Leng Yi Yangs face turned to the colour of pigs liver, and even then keptughing as he turned around and walked away. While walking, he also spoke out the words of Leng Yi Yang cynically, The result for the 5th Round has note out yet, this time its too early to say who is the first.... Haha, it really was too early, at least he was aware of it himself. Naixin, this Ning Xiao Cheng is truly the first. Said the purple robe wearing young girl in surprise who had previously talked in disdain towards Leng Yi Yang who had scored 94 points. This Naixin who was just spoken to by this purple dressed young girl, even her face turned slightly red as she spoke, I spoke incorrectly a moment ago, I had also thought that that person had a thick skinned face. I really did not think, that he really would have the skill. ...... Compared to themotion caused due of Ning Chengs dispute, the Hua Yu Academys space in the Mo Ze Grand ce waspletely overcrowded. If not for hearing the few words of Zhu Mu Er, the Hua Yu Academys Head Yin Bo had already nned on leaving. So when the result of Zhu Mu Er came out, he had only spoke a few words to her, before he hurriedly walked away from there. Yin Bo had actually been depressed when he learned that Hu Yu Academy had secured the first position, but he had never heard of this person called Ning Xiao Cheng. However, after thinking carefully for a while, didnt Zhu Mu Er ask him to give the second quota to a person, was that second person Ning Xiao Cheng? Did he actually obtain the first ce? But when Yi Bo finally once again saw Ning Xiao Cheng clearly, his heart was filled with ecstasy Now that Hua Yu Academy had secured the first ce, he did not need to seek out Zhu Mu Ers father to refine a pill for him, as he could now easily secure an Essence Building Pill. Not only that, there were even many more rewards, and it was most probable that the Hua Yu Academy might even get promoted to a 3 Star Academy. But he had only met with Ning Xiao Cheng once, and was not familiar with him at all. At that time Yin Bo wanted to go look for Ning Xiao Cheng, but his ce was already surrounded by people. Some of the people hade here to congratte Yin Bo, while still more asked if he was still recruiting students. Yin Bo had only brought 2 disciples to the Mo Ze Grand za, and the three people were not enough to manage such a crowd that came over. It was only until the people from the 5 Star Academies arrived, did the situation in front of the Hua Yu Academys stall regained some form of order. Academy Head Yin, I am the manager of the Clear Sky Academys stall.... The Hua Yu Academys atmosphere really is different, this Le Kang from the Falling Star Academy hase to especially congratte Academy Head Yin...... ...... Although these people who hade from the 5 Star Academy were polite, but Yin Bo did not dare neglect any of them, and immediately greeted everyone respectfully, it was only after a good long while, that the delegates from the 5 Star Academies finally settled down. Academy Head Yin, do you not know that the first ce was obtained by your Ning Xiao Cheng? My Luo Huo 5 Star Academy longs for such talent like Ning Xiao Cheng, take the example of the person ranked second in the first round, Leng Yi Yang. I believe that even the Hua Yu Academy would also scale to new heights because of Ning Xiao Cheng. The representative of the Luo Huo Academy could not help but speak up. Deacon Chi, the words you spoke just now are not quite appropriate, right? We have juste here to sit around for a while. As for what Academy will Ning Xiao Cheng chose, it can be discussed with him in the meeting amongst the representatives of the 5 Star Academies, he can then make the decision by himself. The representative from the God Wind Academy immediately said with a dissatisfied tone. There was not a single person from the God Wind Academy amongst the top of any of the written rounds, which seen from no matter what point of view, was still very disadvantageous to the God Wind Academy. In the view of all the 5 Star Academies, for Ning Xiao Cheng to score a 100 points in the written test, it proved that he was absolutely a genius. Generally, for such a gifted genius, their Spiritual Roots would also not be bad, and everyone could see this fact from the memory test round, that his Spiritual Roots were of a higher quality. The stronger the ability toprehend and react, the higher would be the score. Whether it was Spiritual Roots or theirprehension ability, these were the basic conditions required for cultivation. In the case of Clear Sky Academy unconventionally admitting the candidate Gong Jun, it was because not only Gong Jun scored 76 points, even the results of his Spiritual Roots Test showed that he had a Dual Main Spiritual Root, moreover one of his Main Spiritual Root was already white. Even if these things were not taken into consideration, whichever Academy enrols the cultivator who obtained the first ce in the written round, that Academys name would instantly rise, and in the uing tournament for the selection of a 6 Star Academy, it would definitely be advantageous to them. Moreover, these reasons were actually not the most important, the most important reason was that during the tournament for the selection of the 6 Star Academy in the Hua Continent, there will also be a memory written test. In this memory test, if this person who obtained the first ce here, entered any of the 5 Star Academies, that 5 Star Academy would have a certain advantage over the rest of the 5 Star Academys participants in the tournament for the selection of the 6 Star Academy. Chapter 0096 – The Fight For Ning Cheng Chapter 0096 C The Fight For Ning Cheng To Lan Yin Yue, for such a person who she considered an ant in her eyes to call her out in such a manner, it was too difficult for her to ept, if she was in any other ce, she would have already pped Ning Cheng dead with her own hands. Unfortunately, she had to roll with the flow for now, she could not figure out how Ning Cheng who was clearly a Qi Gathering Cultivator in her eyes managed to arrive at the Hua Continent, moreover how could he have scored a mind blowing 100 points in the 5th written exam. Lan Yin Yue, who was very much looking forward to visiting the 5 Star Academies, immediately cooled down. She knew that Ning Xiao Chengs Spiritual Roots were very bad, but the 5 Star Academies not only evaluated people just based on theirbat abilities, but they equally focussed on other things. Which was one of the reasons why these kinds of written exams were conducted, now that Ning Cheng obtained a literally unbeatable and unheard of result, all the 5 Star Academies would definitely rush to recruit him, even if Ning Cheng had an absolutely trash Spiritual Root they would do everything in their power to recruit him. Now that Lan Yin Yue had already walked away, that He Hong could only walk away in disgrace. Fortunately, Jia Han had taken into consideration of He Hong being a teacher from the Falling Star Academy, and thus did not take any action against him. Ning Cheng also knew that he could notpletely take on He Hong by himself, as he knew that He Hong was an Essence Building Cultivator from the Falling Star Academy. Unless his strengthpletely surpassed him, only then could he look for an opportunity to teach that He Hong a lesson. Jia Han gave a faint smile towards Ning Cheng and said, Young man you really are something, for you to obtain the first ce in the written exam out of all these people here, your future sure would be promising. ording to the Hua Continents unified recruitment of the 5 Star Academies, after the end of the preliminary round, the top ten would be able to join the 5 Star Academies, and then continue on to the next round. I wish you good luck. Jia Han had just finished speaking, when his body immediately disappeared. After Zhu Mu Er saw that Jia Han had walked away, she immediately said with an excited voice, Ning Xiao Cheng, even Deacon Jia Han came to congratte you, Deacon Jia is a Profound Congealing Master, and would definitely look after youter on. Ning Cheng knew that what Zhu Mu Er said was just a dream, as although this Deacon Jia Han had wished him good luck, one can never say just what would happen in the future. Although he did obtain the first ce in the preliminary round, this was not enough for Deacon Jia Han to befriend him. As for what Jia Han said, for wishing him good luck, it was just said casually, if he were to take it seriously, then that would only be him being stupid. Zhu Mu Er then suddenly said, Ning Cheng, out of the top ten people in the first round, you are the only person not from a 5 Star Academy, while the rest of the 9 people are already disciples of the 5 Star Academy. It was only at that time did Ning Cheng notice such a thing, that of the top ten names on the 6th big screen in front of him, only he was the one from the Hua Yu Academy, while the remaining 9 people were indeed disciples from the 5 Star Academies. At this time, all the Sound Jade Tablets in the Mo Ze Grand za suddenly rang out simultaneously, Now that the Preliminary Round of the Written Exams are finally finished, and the 1000 outstanding disciples from the 5 written exams have been finalized, the final Second Round will be held in 10 days. In ordance to the provisions made, before the next round can begin, the first ten participants can choose to join the 5 Star Academies in advance. Because the participants from the second to the tenth ces in the preliminary round have already joined the 5 Star Academies, the only one remaining is the person at the First Position, Hua Yus Ning Xiao Cheng who has not yet selected a 5 Star Academy for himself. Now the Head of the Hua Yu Academy, Yin Bo has asked his disciple Ning Xiao Cheng to make his way towards the main altar at the centre of the za, for him to make a choice of which 5 Star Academy would he join. The main altar is up ahead, Ning Xiao Cheng, you should hurry up and go. For Ning Cheng to choose a 5 Star Academy, it seems that Zhu Mu Er was even more anxious than Ning Xiao Cheng. Even after saying that, Zhu Mu Er seemed to be a lot worried, as she once again whispered in Ning Chengs ears, Remember there are still many good points, since you have taken the first ce in the preliminary exam, even if your Spiritual Roots are bad, all the 5 Star Academies would still rush to grab you. That is because, 2 yearster, when the tournament between the 5 Star Academies takes ce, it will also have a written test simr to this one. So the main reason all those 5 Star Academies want you, is for the tournament for the establishment of the 6 Star Academy two yearster. After hearing Zhu Mu Ers words some of the apprehensions in Ning Chengs heart suddenly cleared up. He was also worried about his own Spiritual Root problem, he was thinking that since his Spiritual Root was bad, so even if he grabbed the first ce in the preliminary written exam, he would still not be valued much by others. He had never thought that in the tournament 2 years from now to determine which of five 5 Star Academy would advance to a 6 Star Academy, would also have this kind of a written test. Since this was the case, then why should he be worried about it? Ning Cheng already saw that the main altar in the middle of the za was already packed with people, and on the main altar, there were five emblems disyed, these five emblems disyed were precisely the five emblems of the five 5 Star Academies. Ning Cheng then went to the side of Ji Luo Fei, and grabbed Ji Luo Feis hands, Ji Luo Feis face immediately turned red, as she tried to urge Ning Cheng to hurry up. She heard Ning Chengs soft voice in her ear, Will you help me keep this, when we meet again you can then give it to me. Saying that he stuffed Ji Luo Feis hands with a Storage Bag, as he quickly made his way towards the main altar at the centre of the za. This Storage Bag that Ning Cheng gave her contained his more valuable possessions, including the Imperial Jade Seal, the Five Elements Treasure Fall Coins, the Soul Wood Cores and others. He would have to face numerous experts with much higher strength and cultivation when he would go on the main altar, in the case he was inspected, keeping these things on him would be really very unsafe. As for the Mysterious Yellow Bead, Ning Cheng did not have any way to take it out, moreover he knew that he could not take the Mysterious Yellow Bead out even if he wanted to. As the Mysterious Yellow Bead and he were already a single entity. Plus, now that he had obtained the first position, so he probably would not be examined, so the Mysterious Yellow Bead should be safe. But Ning Cheng then saw that there were no teachers from the 5 Star Academies, only Yin Bo, who came up to him in excitement as he rubbed his hands and whispered to him from the side, Brother Ning, I really did not expect that you would help my Hua Yu Academy to secure the first ce, I really ....... Ning Cheng understood the excitement of Yin Bo, as he patted Yin Bos hands and said, I am still currently the disciple of the Hua Yu Academy, and you are still the Head of the Hua Yu Academy, try to maintain a little demeanour of an Academy Head. I took one of the ces of your Hua Yu Academy, so it is only natural that the Hua Yu Academy should get an appropriatepensation. When some of the people with a higher cultivation level standing on the main altar heard the clear words of Ning Cheng, none of them had thought, that the person they were going to choose was such a person. If they had to pick from all the people who all wanted to join the five 5 Star Academies, and then let them take the written test, then the 5 Star Academies would not have to spend so much energy. Whats more, the rest of the other Academies also needed to recruit a few disciples. For Hua Yu Academy to pick up Ning Xiao Cheng, it showed the insight of the Hua Yu Academy, and should be rewarded appropriately for it. Seeing Ning Cheng and the head of the Hua Yu Academy, Yin Bo starting to ascend to the main altar, the crowd of onlookers around the za immediately broke out in discussion. So he is Ning Xiao Cheng, ah, I remember, wasnt he the one who came to our Jin Yu Academys stall to seek for a ce, but we did not give it to him, I though it really would have been a bother, s. I also know how you feel; he had also visited our Yu Ding Academys stall .... Our Liu Guang Academy was also visited by Ning Xiao Cheng, what a pity .... ...... Unfortunately, suchments were quite abundant, as Ning Cheng in order to find a slot for the preliminary round, ended up visiting a lot of ces. But he was, without a single exception, rejected by everyone, especially when the people heard that he had a multi-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, none of them even thought for a single moment before refusing him. How can Ning Chenge here? When Ji Yao He also saw Ning Cheng, she was immediately shocked, as she immediately understood that that Ning Cheng was really that Ning Xiao Cheng who had obtained the first ce. After finally understanding that Ning Cheng really was Ning Xiao Cheng, a storm was rising in her heart, she was not shocked because Ning Cheng had obtained first ce in the written round, but she was actually shocked that Ning Cheng already had the cultivation of True Condensation 1st Level. Initially when she first saw Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng was just a garbage with the qualification of only a three-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root. With that kind of qualifications, how could he rise to the True Condensation 1st Level this quickly? This definitely was a problem. Ji Yao He and Lan Yin Yue were different, Lan Yin Yue only had the cultivation of True Condensation Realm, so even if Ning Cheng did not try to conceal his cultivation level, she could only vaguely feel Ning Chengs cultivation level. Because of her preconceptions about him, she absolutely would not think or even believe that Ning Cheng might have been a cultivator in the True Condensation Realm, and thus simply did not care about him. But Ji Yao He was already a cultivator of the Essence Building Realm, and even if Ning Cheng used some kind of Concealment Technique to conceal his cultivation level, she could make out with a single nce that Ning Cheng had the cultivation level of True Condensation 1st Level. After confirming once again that Ning Cheng indeed had the cultivation of True Condensation 1st Level, Ji Yao Hes heart suddenly started to race. Ning Cheng definitely had a huge fortune on him, otherwise in her view it was basically impossible for him to advance to the True Condensation Realm this quickly. At this moment almost all her attention was focussed on Ning Chengs body, as she started to ponder on how Ning Cheng could advance his cultivation level this quickly. Ning Cheng stepped onto the spacious main altar, and cupped his fists as he turned to all sides and spoke, Ning Xiao Cheng greets fellow seniors. Although he did not know who the people in front of him were, but he knew that these people in front of him were by no means simple, and were an absolutely powerful existence to him. At worst, he estimated, that these people were also cultivators in the Essence Building Realm. Ning Cheng had just greeted those seniors in front of him, when he felt numerous Spiritual Consciousness sweeping over him. This made Ning Cheng to be secretly startled in his heart, fortunately he had already stowed away his Storage Bag, otherwise it was quite possible for the items in the Storage Bag to be exposed. Good, good, he is not a least bit offpared to those geniuses with Pure Spiritual Roots. After an old man who was sitting on the side, with the Clear Sky Academys insignia on his robes appraised him, he once again spoke to Ning Cheng with an amiable manner, You should take a seat first, I am a Tier 4 Talisman Master from Clear Sky Academy, Ming Hao Kuo. For you toe on to the stage with a cool head, plus with such a powerful memory, no matter what kind of Spiritual Root you have, the door to my Clear Sky Academy will always be open to you. What is a Talisman even useful for? Ning Xiao Chengs memory for Spiritual Grasses is extremely good, so if he joined my Luo Hou Academy then the Dean would personally take the time and develop him. Ning Xiao Cheng, I am Luo Hou Academys Cheng Xuan, I can ce you directly under any of the Pill Masters of your choice in my Luo Hou Academy. Not waiting for Ming Hao Kuo from the Clear Sky Academy to finish what he was saying, another middle aged looking cultivator from the Luo Hou Academy spoke, interrupting Ming Hao Kuos words. Then immediately representatives from the Falling Star Academy, God Wind Academy, and Thunder Academy also narrated the benefits of joining their Academies to Ning Cheng, and even made variousmitments with Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng was very clear in his heart that these old fogies would just burn the bridges that they built after they crossed them, as they would never speak such polite words with a cultivator in the True Condensation Realm who they always looked down on. This was absolutely not because of his qualifications, but because he knew that even if he possessed the qualifications of a Pure Spiritual Root, it would still be impossible for this many high ranking people to make a beeline to grab him. As for the reason for this kind of behaviour from their side, it was to deal with the uing tournament to select a 6 Star Academy, as long as any one of the Academies sessfully roped him in, it meant that at least in the written test they would be off to a great start. At this moment the only thing in the other peoples eyes, was his score. What they were trying to grab was not Ning Cheng, but trying to snatch the score for the written exam in the 6 Star Academys Tournament. Once the 6 Star Academy was selected from among them, then even if Ning Cheng was to die, these old fogies would definitely not even bat an eye for him. Understanding this Ning Cheng still gave a calm performance, as he once again cupped his fists and said in the most respectful voice that he could muster, Thank you for the deep affections that the seniors had shown to this junior, this junior had originally nned to join the Clear Sky Academy ....... Yes, yes,ing to my Clear Sky Academy is definitely the right choice, you will definitely not regret it. When Ming Hao Kuo heard Ning Chengs words, he immediately stood up smiling and spoke as if he had already nned on weing Ning Cheng to join the Clear Sky Academy for a long time. Ning Cheng intentionally sighed and said, Originally I did wanted to enter the Clear Sky Academy, and also painstakingly went out and found one of the Clear Sky Command Medallions and wanted to register with the Clear Sky Academy immediately, but this Clear Sky Command Medallion was confiscated by the Clear Sky Academy, moreover not only was the Clear Sky Command Medallion confiscated, the people there even tried to threaten me, fortunately I was very tactful, and got the message, and did not rush into the Clear Sky Academy, and thus managed to escape from disaster unharmed. WHAT? Which bastard was it, who dared to not fulfil the request of the Clear Sky Command Medallion, and even refused to give you a ce in the preliminary round? This father will shred all of his skin. Ming Hao Kuo almost jumped three feet high, showing his anger. Ning Cheng sneered in his heart, what you owe this father, this father will slowly reap it with interest, and this granddaddy will definitely make it up for snatching the Clear Sky Command Medallion from him. Chapter 0097 – Joining The God Wind Academy Chapter 0097 C Joining The God Wind Academy It was only after a short while, that the middle aged man from the Clear Sky Academy Stall had been brought to the main altar on the za. At this point of time hisplexion was extremely pale and was trembling all over, he also still had the Clear Sky Command Medallion that he had taken from Ning Cheng. If he knew that Ning Cheng would secure the first ce in the written exams round, moreover he also nned to destroy his cultivationter, he would never have ever dared to do such a thing. Ha-Ha, Elder Brother Ming, the Clear Sky Academy really does not live up to its reputation, for it to even have this kind of person existing among you, in the end, s...... The woman from the Thunder Academy deliberately sighed, clearly rubbing salt into their wounds. Her words implied that for Clear Sky Academy to have such a person among them, it really was not a good choice. Ming Hao Kuo stared at the ashen faced man with the cultivation of Qi Gathering 9th Level, First hand over the Clear Sky Command Medallion, for my Clear Sky Academy to have such a scum like you, it really is disgraceful. This middle aged man, who was at Qi Gathering 9th Level, was shaking uncontrobly as he handed over the Clear Sky Command Medallion, he did not even have the time to exin himself, before he was immediately pped by Ming Hao Kuo and turned into bloody mist. After killing this Qi Gathering Cultivator, the anger on Ming Hao Kuos face vanished instantaneously as if it never existed, as if this matter never happened at all, as he smiled once again and returned the Clear Sky Command Medallion to Ning Cheng and said, Every Academy will have some bad seeds and worms, fortunately this man was only a disciple of the outer court. The disciples of the inner court of my Clear Sky Academy are the elites of the elites, in fact, you could just have met the in charge of our stall at that time, if anyone even dared to not follow your Clear Sky Command Medallion, you could have just told me or any other Deacon of my Clear Sky Academy, and we would have definitely solved the problem for you. Ning Cheng did not try to be polite again, this Clear Sky Command Medallion was already his to begin with, he just thanked him once as he received the Clear Sky Command Medallion, as he sighed and spoke, s, I had originally wanted to do so, but then an Essence Building Senior from the Clear Sky Academy, who seemed to have been called by Teacher Jing, he did not want to even hear a single word from me, and directly asked me to Fuck Off. He said that this was the area of a 5 Star Academy, and did not even allow me to speak. When I left there, I really was very sad in my heart, Clear Sky Academy was my dream that I wanted to enter, but after this incident, all the dreams in my heart have already shattered. After listening to the words of Ning Cheng, theplexion of Ming Hao Kuos face was not so simple, as his face immediately turned ashen, he could not help but think about the written exam during the tournament for the 6 Star Academy, didnt they just kicked the opportunity presented to the Clear Sky Academy right in the face. This time, he really did not have the face to continue and invite Ning Cheng to join the Clear Sky Academy, and directly said to Ning Cheng, Ning Xiao Cheng, Ill definitely go look for that bastard, since you want to join my Clear Sky Academy, then you cane there at any time, and would also not require the Clear Sky Command Medallion. With that Ming Hao Kuo walked away, and now there were only the 4 other Academiespeting for Ning Cheng. Ning Xiao Cheng, this time my Falling Star Academy has the most members with the Pure Spiritual Roots, you might as well join my Falling Star Academy. An emaciated man with the cultivation of Profound Congealing Realm from the Falling Star Academy spoke to Ning Cheng, the expression on his face resembled a wolf who saw a small white rabbit. Ning Cheng hurriedly cupped his fists and replied, Actually before I was preparing to join the Clear Sky Academy, I was going to join the Falling Star Academy. I have a cousin with Pure Spiritual Roots who had joined the Falling Star Academy, I think, that if I went to the Academy with my cousin, it would be really good ....... Your cousin is in the Falling Star Academy, moreover with a Pure Spiritual Root? Then why are you even hesitating about,e join my Falling Star 5 Star Academy. This man with the cultivation of Profound Congealing Realm revealed an excited expression on his face, he did not actually see Ning Cheng, but only a heap of scores. Ning Cheng once again sighed and said, My qualifications were not as good as my cousin, so the Clear Heart Academys Senior Sister Apprentice Lan Yin Yue refused to let me in. Actually I did not care about it, as long as my cousin joined the Falling Star 5 Star Academy, it was more than good for me. But I did not think that, Senior Sister Apprentice Lan Yin Yue would dismiss me on the grounds of hindering my cousins cultivation, and even chased me all around the ce to kill me. I really had nowhere to escape from her, and could only run into the Daan Forest. Fortunately, I happened to find a Spiritual Essence Spring Pool, after cultivating for nearly half a year at this Spiritual Essence Spring Pool, I unexpectedly advanced to the Qi Gathering 9th Level. Afterwards I also was able to obtain a True Condensation Pill from a Pill Master in the Yuan Continent, I really did not think that I would be lucky enough to sessfully advance to the True Condensation Realm. s, if not for these matters, me and my cousin would definitely havee to the Falling Star Academy, but right now, I really do not have any such thoughts. The reason why Ning Cheng said those words this time, aside from digging a pit for Lan Yin Yue, it would also exin his bad Spiritual Roots and also how he was able to cultivate this quickly. As such he did not wait for the others to ask as he took the initiative to exin it himself. After this man at the Profound Congealing Realm heard Ning Chengs words, he also went into the same flying rage, a cultivator from the True Condensation Realm of a mere Clear Heart Academy unexpectedly dared to obstruct the Falling Star Academy in recruiting the person who obtained the first ce in the written round. He could still ignore the matter if Ning Cheng had not taken the first ce, but since this matter was the consequences of Lan Yin Yues actions, he would still go out and punish this Lan Yin Yue no matter how good looking she was. Seeing that the Clear Sky Academy and Falling Star Academy were both simultaneously refused by Ning Cheng, the old man from the God Wind Academy stood up and spoke, Ning Xiao Cheng, I think that the God Wind Academy would really be the best for you. My God Wind Academy can not only provide you with an independent Immortals Cave, but will also allow you to enjoy the various treatments received by the core disciples. If you are somewhatcking in your Spiritual Root, even then you would have the freedom toe and go as you like. The old man from the God Wind Academy said very enthusiastically. Ning Cheng was really moved in his heart, as he understood the meaning behind the words spoken by the old man. He was very clear on this point, that even though he had grabbed the first position in the Preliminary Rounds written test to join one of the 5 Star Academies, his Spiritual Roots were not very good. In all the 5 Star Academies, the core disciples all have a good Spiritual Root, and were fiercely protected, and to a certain extent, there were even some restrictions ced on them. Because among the top ten people in the First Rounds written test, the God Wind Academy held only a single spot and that was the 7th Position, from this it could be said that the out of the top ten ces in the First Rounds written exam, the God Wind Academy was really the weakest of them all. Because of this, Ning Cheng had already made up his mind to go to the God Wind Academy, as he knew that they would try to do anything to rope him in. Now that the old man from the God Wind Academy had spoken, he was already more than satisfied with it. Seeing that the other two people from the rest of the two 5 Star Academies were going to speak, Ning Cheng quickly cupped his fists and bowed to the old man in front of him and said, Thank you seniors, but this junior had already decided to join the God Wind Academy. Because this junior has only a multi-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, for me to be able to advance to the True Condensation Realm was really a lucky coincidence. Although the God Wind Academy does not care about the strength of this juniors Spiritual Root. But this junior has just a small request. Although the old man from the God Wind Academy had did indeed invited Ning Cheng, but he did not have even a shred of confidence in his heart that he might ept it. Of all the 5 Star Academies in the Hua Continent, the God Wind Academy was the weakest and the worst of them all. So for them to even think aboutpeting in the tournament for the selection of the 6 Star Academy, it was not something that they had confidence in, you could even say that they were just apanying the prince to his study. But now that Ning Cheng had spoken those words, then at least in the written exam they would be able to get a good score, even if they finally lost, at least they would not have to be too ashamed about it. Because he also heard about a rumour, that once when one of the five current 5 Star Academies would get promoted to a 6 Star Academy, there would also be a 4 Star Academy that would be promoted to a 5 Star Academy. So if the God Wind Academy obtained a result that was too bad, then there was even a possibility that they may even lose their 5 Star status. If you have any request, you can speak them freely. At this time the old man from the God Wind Academy was the most excited he had been in his entire life. As for Ning Cheng having a multi-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, he had already ignored it. Since Ning Cheng had already said it before, that he had a chance encounter with a Spiritual Essence Spring Pool, and had only just recently advanced to the True Condensation 1st Level, it obviously showed that the qualifications of Ning Xiao Cheng were not good. I have two friends, who also want to join the God Wind Academy, I do not know.... Ning Cheng immediately hinted towards Zhu Mu Er, and this time, naturally put forward his condition. These two friends, besides Ji Luo Fei, the other one was obviously Zhu Mu Er. After getting to know Zhu Mu Er, Ning Cheng came to understand that Zhu Mu Er had a straightforward character, and was always frank about what she spoke, in short she had no brains to think for herself. Moreover, he had got this opportunity because of Zhu Mu Er, so he had already nned to give one of the ces to Zhu Mu Er. Whether Zhu Mu Er wanted it or not, that was her own personal choice. The reason he had to join a 5 Star Academy, besides wanting to go look for an opportunity to go to an Intermediate ss Continent, was because he also wanted to take the advantage of learning in a 5 Star Academy. Because he had not studied systematically, he felt thatpared to the other cultivators on the same level as him, he only understood a very few basic things. Of course, as long as your two friends qualifications are not too bad, you all can enter my God Wind Academy. The old man from the God Wind Academy agreed to Ning Chengs request without any hesitation. After the man finished, he seemed to have thought that he should really introduce himself, and quickly added, I am Liu Jian who is responsible for the external affairs of my God Wind Academy, now that you have decided to join my God Wind Academy, so if you have any difficulty in the future, you cane to me directly. Seeing that Ning Cheng was determined to join the God Wind Academy, the two other people from the rest of the two 5 Star Academies felt disappointed, they knew that they did not have any alternative to him. ...... Luo Fei? When she saw Ji Luo Fei and Zhu Mu Er leave along with Ning Cheng and the people from the God Wind Academy, Ji Yao He could see it clearly, after she recognised Ji Luo Fei, she almost called out. Fortunately, she also knew better to not call out her name, Ji Luo Fei was a person who the Shui n had settled on, and once the Shui n knew that Ji Luo Fei had returned back to Mo Ze City, moreover even living together with Ning Cheng, it would definitely not be good for Ji Luo Fei. Whether Ning Cheng was dead or alive, she did not care, but Ji Luo Fei was different, after all, she was her niece. She had wanted for Ji Luo Fei to be married into the Shui n, of course it was for the sake of herself, but that did not mean that she did not want to help Ji Luo Fei. Although Ning Cheng was now a disciple of the God Wind Academy, it was still not enough to contend against a colossus like the Shui n. Thinking of this, Ji Yao He decided to temporarily not go look for Ji Luo Fei. ...... That was Luo Fei, it was certainly Luo Fei, Luo Fei really hase to the Hua Continent.... In the corner of the Mo Ze Grand za, a middle aged beautiful woman was staring at Ji Luo Fei, but her voice was trembling as she spoke, and even her expression was excited. When she first saw the girl wearing a veil walking along with Ning Cheng, she knew that it was definitely her daughter, Ji Luo Fei. This middle aged beautiful woman was none other than Xiong Qi Hua, after Ning Cheng had recognized her, she could no longer spend even a single day in the Daan Forest, she knew that she had toe out to find her daughter Ji Luo Fei. As for the man beside her, he was also none other than Zhu Hong Wen, but his heart was full of bitterness at this moment, as Zhu Hong Wen really wished that Xiong Qi Hua did not meet Ji Luo Fei this soon. When Xiong Qi Hua was preparing to go back to the Ping Continent, he had taken the chance to persuade Xiong Qi Hua to first head to the Yuan Continent, so as to start her search for her daughter Ji Luo Fei from there. He had even argued that since the rtionship between Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei was not a simple one, he proposed that since Ning Cheng was heading to the Yuan Continent, then Ji Luo Fei was also certainly in the Yuan Continent. Xiong Qi Hua was his treasure, no matter where she would go, he would always follow the love of his life. So she felt that the words spoken by Zhu Hong Wen were definitely right, and had left the Daan Forest with him, making their way towards the Yuan Continent. Aftering to the Yuan Continent, the two people came to know that the five 5 Star Academies of the Hua Continent were holding a joint selection of disciples in the Mo Ze City. Zhu Hong Wen then proposed that since Ji Luo Fei was probably like the other ordinary people, she would definitely head towards the Mo Ze City in the Hua Continent. If Ji Luo Feis qualifications were good, then perhaps she could get selected by a 5 Star Academy on her own. Ji Luo Fei was the daughter of Xiong Qi Hua, so Xiong Qi Hua would definitely not think that her own daughters qualifications would be bad, thus she immediately rushed towards the Hua Continent from the Yuan Continent. If not for Zhu Hong Wen having the map of the Thunder Fall Desert and also the experience of crossing it once before, the two of them would have definitely fallen in the Thunder Fall Desert. What Zhu Hong Wen did not expect, was the moment they arrived in the Mo Ze City of the Hua Continent, they would really see Ji Luo Fei. Moreover, he had even guessed it right, Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei were indeed together. Not only that, this fellow was called Ning Xiao Cheng and had even obtained the first position in the written examination. Chapter 0098 – Unexpected Visitor Chapter 0098 C Unexpected Visitor It appears that we have indeed found the right ce. Zhu Hong Wen spoke with a pleasantly surprised tone, but whether he was really surprised or not, only he knew. Hong Wen, I must see Luo Fei...... Xiong Qi Hua hadpletely forgotten the things that she had discussed with Zhu Hong Wen, and rushed towards Ji Luo Fei. Zhu Hong Wen quickly pulled Xiong Qi Hua back and said, Qi Hua, I also hope that you can meet Luo Fei, but at the moment Luo Fei is together with Ning Cheng. Moreover, their rtionship appears to be very close, so I am sure that that Ning Xiao Cheng had obviously told her about our matter, fortunately you did not go meet with Luo Fei, once you go see Luo Fei, it may cause her to not look at you as her mother anymore and I dont think that you would have another opportunity to fix this. Saying that, Zhu Hong Wen did not think that it was enough, and further added, That Ning Xiao Cheng is quite crafty, for him to be together with Luo Fei, it was definitely because he had deceived her with his honeyed words. Moreover, we had also injured him in the Daan Forest, I am sure that he would have highly coloured the matter between you and me, possibly even ndered it to a point that even you could not hear. What do we do then? Xiong Qi Huas face turned pale, she really did not know what they should do. Qi Hua, you do not have to be worried about it, as we had talked about it before, for now let us just track Luo Fei, and find out where Luo Fei is staying. Then we wait for Ning Cheng and Luo Fei to separate before we then proceed to go find Luo Fei. Zhu Wen Hong calmly spoke. But.... Xiong Qi Huas expression finally rxed a lot and said, That Ning Xiao Cheng looks even more powerful than before, not only is he difficult to deal with, but he now even has the identity of a core disciple of the God Wind Academy, and would definitely have a bright future. I think that if Luo Fei really follows him, it would also be quite good for her .... It was only because she found out that Ning Cheng knew about of the private affair with Zhu Hong Wen, that she had wanted to kill Ning Cheng. But now that she saw that Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei were quite close to each other, she was hesitating somewhat, she did not know if Luo Fei would be very sad after she killed Ning Xiao Cheng. Meanwhile in the depths of her heart, she was beginning to feel that Ning Cheng really was worthy of her daughter. Qi Hua, you still are too kind. Even if he looks good on the surface, out of the thousands of people who took that written exam, didnt Ning Xiao Cheng personally said that his qualifications is definitely not that good. Even if his qualifications are good, for such a crafty person like him to be together with Luo Fei, it would only end in Luo Fei getting hurt. Besides, didnt you see that there was another woman beside him, I could make out with a single nce that that woman is definitely a spiteful junior, how could she let Luo Fei to have a higher status than her? Zhu Hong Wen said all that while still staring at the retreating backs of Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei. Seeing Xiong Qi Hua to be somewhat at a loss, Zhu Hong Wens expression finally softened up and said, That Ning Xiao Cheng is now a student of a 5 Star Academy, and was also leading Ji Luo Fei and another woman, with his craftiness, in the future he can easily establish a firm foothold in the 5 Star Academy. Moreover, he is now even a core student, and the 5 Star Academy will most definitely have a lot of beautiful girls, so would Ji Luo Fei still have a ce with him? Moreover, if we do not separate Ji Luo Fei and that Ning Xiao Cheng, it would be equivalent to you losing your daughter. Ill listen to you...... Xiong Qi Hua spoke with a weak and feeble tone. ...... Do you really have a Dual Main Spiritual Root? After they arrived at the residential area reserved for the God Wind Academy, Deacon Liu Jian finally came to know that Ji Luo Fei and Zhu Mu Er both had a Dual Main Spiritual Root, and became even more excited. For a disciple to have a Dual Main Spiritual Root, not to mention inner court disciples, even some of the more outstanding core disciples may not have such qualifications. But Zhu Mu Er was the happiest among the group, My father said several times to send me to a 5 Star Academy, but I did not listen to him, I wanted to rely on my own strength to enter a 5 Star Academy. When Zhu Mu Er spoke, shepletely forgot that the reason why she was able to enter the God Wind Academy was because of Ning Chengs help from before. Your father? Elder Liu Jian asked in a puzzled way, for someone to casually be able to send their kid to a 5 Star Academy, he should definitely not be someone obscure. Then Zhu Mu Er proudly said, My fathers name is Zhu Yao Shi, you should know him right? Liu Xian immediately became terrified, and quickly said, So you are Elder Brother Yao Shis daughter, I really have neglected my duties. Ning Cheng had long since had guessed that Zhu Mu Ers father was not simple, it seems that it really was the case. Even to the people like Deacon Liu Xian from the God Wind Academy to show such behaviour, it showed that Zhu Mu Ers father was really respectable. Because of their special rtionship with Zhu Yao Shi, Liu Xian chatted quite enthusiastically with Ning Cheng and the others, as he personally gave them the Jade Cards of the God Wind Academy, as hepleted the rest of the formalities for entering the God Wind Academy. The second round will be conducted in 10 days, this round will test ones ability toprehend, all the top 1000 participants will be attending this round. Do you want to move into the God Wind Academy residential area here directly? And use these 10 days to prepare for the uing second round? Although Ning Cheng is now the disciple of the God Wind Academy, but this Deacon Liu Xians tone showed that he was still very much concerned about the opinion of Ning Cheng. Many thanks Deacon Liu, but as I have a few personal things to take care, so for the time being I will not live here. However, I will not leave Mo Ze City, and 10 dayster I wille to participate in the second round. Ning Cheng quickly rejected his offer. His body had the Mysterious Yellow Bead inside, unless it was something that absolutely couldnt be helped, he did not want to live together with a master of the Profound Congealing Realm. Of course, once you take care of your things, then 10 dayster you can directlye to the Mo Ze Grand za. In regards to the treatment given to Ning Cheng, Liu Xian was extremely tolerant. Since Ning Cheng was not interested in staying at the God Wind Academy, Ji Luo Fei would also obviously not stay here. As for Zhu Mu Er it was even more unlikely for her to stay here, coupled with her thinking that she joined the 5 Star Academy on her own strength, at this time, she would definitely go and try to show off in front of her dad. Her meaning being, You see I dont need your help, with my own ability, how could I not join the God Wind Academy? ...... Luo Fei, during these 10 days it would be better if we did not go out, Mo Ze City is not necessarily a safe ce for us. Coming back to their room, Ning Cheng first urged Ji Luo Fei to not to go out. En, I feel like I am going to break through to the Qi Gathering 6th Level, so I will stay inside to cultivate during these few days. Ji Luo Fei immediately replied, even if Ning Cheng had not asked her, she would definitely not get onto the streets of Mo Ze City by herself. As Ji Luo Fei went into her closed door training while attempting to breakthrough to the Qi Gathering 6th Level, Ning Cheng was also getting ready to enhance his cultivation during these 10 days. His Meridians had already been remoulded by the Mysterious Yellow Origin, so if he wanted to sessfully cultivate in the True Condensation Realm, then he would have to work several times harder than before. This was not because his qualifications were poor, but because his cultivation now required even more resources than before. If there were no more resources for him to continue his cultivation, then to Ning Cheng, the expansion and remoulding of his Meridians was not necessarily a good thing. In other words, the resources needed for him to advance to the Essence Building Realm before, would now probably be only enough for him to advance only to the Intermediate Stages of the True Condensation Realm. Since you still have not gone into closed door training, I came to find you regarding somethings. Ning Cheng had just prepared the Istion Array Formation, when a familiar voice abruptly sounded in his ears. Ning Cheng immediately stood up with surprise, Who? For this person toe in through his Istion Array Formation and into his room, how could he not sense it? How much time has it been since then, and you still do not recognize your benefactor? This voice wasing from in front of Ning Cheng, then Ning Cheng immediately saw a white haired old woman wearing a blue robe in front of him. Is it really you? How are you ...... Ning Cheng wanted to inquire how this old woman came in silently, he had already arranged several Array Formations in his room, but he swallowed the words that he was about to speak. The white haired old woman slowly walked to the chair nearby and sat down, I really did not expect that you would be able to arrange a Level 2 Array Formation. Although, this Level 2 Array Formations is just a small bubble in front of me, it is not something that could stop me from entering. Ning Cheng immediately restrained this heavy shock in her heart, then cupped his fist in front of this white haired old woman, he spoke very respectfully, Ning Cheng greets Senior, many thanks to senior for helping this junior with your refined Artefacts. If not for the inner armour that was made by senior, this junior would have died a long time ago. Ning Cheng did not speak any nonsense, if not for the help of the white haired old woman who had helped him in refining not only the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle but also the inner Dragon Hide Armour, he really would have died. These two things had saved his life numerous times. Although he was thanking her, Ning Cheng was still a bit ufortable in his heart, as he felt that he had to definitely improve his own Level of Array Formations. At least he had to improve his Sensing Array Formation, so that when someone entered his Array Formation, he would be the first to know about it. But then thinking about the thousand-mile gap between the cultivation levels of the white haired old woman and him, Ning Cheng could feel his powerlessness. Perhaps even if he could arrange a more powerful Sensing Array Formation, other people may still be able to enter his room quietly. The level of Array Formations did not really matter to him, what really mattered to him was the disparity between their cultivation levels. You can thank me for the inner armour that I refinished, but the 100 points that you obtained in the first round was obtained by relying on your own ability, so why would you try and thank me for it? To Ning Chengs surprise, the white haired old woman said something that Ning Cheng could really not understand. Ning Cheng had a few doubts in his heart, the reason why he obtained the first ce, was because of his own memory, what rtion could it even have with Ning Chengs rtionship with the white haired old woman? When you received my wooden box, did you also not receive the words I left behind for you? Seeing the puzzled look on Ning Chengs face, the white haired old woman once again reminded him. Ning Cheng immediately thought of the wooden box that he had received from the very ugly looking teenager who had said to him, Aunt Gong Sun gave me this just before she left, she said to pass this on to you, all the things that you want are in here, hope you do what your strength allows. He was still thinking about the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle at that time, what did she mean by those words hope you do what your strength allows? Now thinking about it, he could see that these words spoken by the white haired old women seemed to be quite unique. In that wooden box other than the ice needle inside it, it only had the inner armour and nothing else, Ning Cheng thought back to the wooden box that he had emptied for the first time, and immediately took it out. While simultaneously sweeping through the wooden box with his Spiritual Sense, the next moment he could vaguely feel a Jade Piece sealed in the base of the wooden box. Why dont you take out the Jade Piece. The old woman knew that Ning Cheng found out the Jade Piece she had put there. Ning Cheng immediately crushed the base of the wooden box, and after the Jade Piece came out, he asked with a puzzled expression, Senior, what does this Jade Piece contain? Youll know if you look. The old woman replied in a mild tone. Ning Cheng immediately swept the Jade Piece with his Spiritual Sense and could see the contents inside, it turned out that the Jade Piece was filled with the basics of Alchemy. This Jade Piece was filled with innumerable simple andplex information that even his head began to hurt. The Jade Piece even contained the basics of Spiritual Grasses, when Ning Cheng saw the basics of the Spiritual Grasses in it, he immediately understood what the matter was. The basics of the Spiritual Grasses in this Jade Piece and the contents of the Spiritual Grasses that he had seen in the preliminary round were exactly the same, but the Jade Piece contained even more information on the Spiritual Grasses than the one he had seen during the written examination. Seeing that Ning Cheng finally saw the contents, this old woman said in a light voice, I was sincere to you, and even helped you this much, but you even deceived an old woman like me. Chapter 0099 – The Old Woman’s Request Chapter 0099 C The Old Womans Request Ning Cheng immediately responded, when the woman said that he had deceived him, he immediately understood what was happening. She had thought that if he had not read the basics of the Spiritual Grasses beforehand, then he could not have scored those 100 points. In other words, it would imply that his memory was indeed extremely powerful, perhaps even bordering on having a photographic memory. Since she had already guessed that his memory was extremely powerful, this old woman had hidden that Jade Piece inside the wooden box, so Ning Cheng would certainly remember it if he saw it again. But didnt the white haired old woman say that she did not want this Jade Piece to go to him, moreover even firmly said it. Now that this white haired old woman had caught on to the current, he also could not deny what she thought to be the undeniable. Thinking of this, Ning Cheng said in an embarrassed tone, Senior, this junior had indeed memorized the contents of the Jade Piece that you hid, therefore I do not want the Jade Piece. This junior had truly tried to deceive this senior, please punish me senior. Ning Cheng could only y along, this white haired old womans cultivation was extremely powerful whenpared to him, if he went against her, despite what he said or did, it would only be disadvantageous to him. But the white haired old woman still spoke in an unhurried way, Its good that you know, since your memory is already this powerful, so you do not need to give that Jade Piece back to me, whether one day you really be a master of Alchemy or not is not important for me. Thank you senior. After Ning Cheng said those words in embarrassment, he put away the Jade Piece, but his heart was still somewhat uneasy. He and that old woman were definitely not rted, therefore, for her to be this nice to him, it wouldnt take the sky to fall for Ning Cheng to believe that she had some sort of request that she wanted to ask him. The old woman seemed to know what Ning Cheng was thinking at the moment, and suddenly spoke up, Do you think that I am interested in you? As such you are feeling some trepidation in your heart? She did not wait for Ning Cheng to speak, as the old woman continued to speak, At first, I thought that you were an honest person, coupled with the fact that you even gave the materials from the One Horned Flood Dragon that I really needed, so I really did not think much in helping you. Although the level of the One Horned Flood Dragon was not very high, but this kind of beast like a One Horned Flood Dragon is already very rare, so for you to obtain it was indeed very impressive. Ning Cheng finally understood why this woman had given him the basics of Alchemy, so it was really because of such a thing. Moreover dont you ever think that the Alchemy Jade Piece that I gave you is something very ordinary, the fact is that the basics of Alchemy that I gave you, even if was the entire Yi Xing Maind, it can be counted among the top of the top. If you want learn Alchemy, you wille to know about this fact in the future. However, to me, the One Horned Flood Dragon that you brought was something that I very much needed. Talking till this point, the old woman stopped and carefully looked at Ning Cheng for a long time, and then continued, Thest time I gave you the Jade Piece containing the basics of Alchemy, there was reason for it. Thest time that I saw you, you seemed to have an elusive Qi around your body. That kind of Qi was something that I found very splendid, but I also could not find what it actually was. But now that I see you, that Qi has already disappeared? Or should I say that I cannot detect it anymore? Ning Cheng forcefully suppressed the fear that was starting to show in his heart, and made an appearance as if he couldnt understand what she was saying, as he frowned and said, Senior, what do you mean that I have an elusive Qi around my body? What in the world is that? Could it be because of the Spiritual Essence Pool that I had went to cultivate in before? The white haired old woman gave a meaningful nce to Ning Cheng, and just shook her head and said, Absolutely not. But then she did not continue to ask about the elusive Qi that she felt around Ning Cheng before, and even her tone became very gentle and said, Although you deceived mest time, I do not hold it against you, but you have to help me in one thing. Ning Cheng immediately gave a crisp reply, What is the need to even ask this junior, senior can freely speak her request, as long as this junior is able to fulfil it, this junior will definitely not refuse it. You should be probably the same as what I thought of you, I have already seen thest additional question in the 5th written round, you could solve that problem in such a short time even without using your Spiritual Sense, it would only mean that you have a special ability, that is you should have an extremely powerfulputing ability, in addition to your powerful memory. The old woman said without even a single doubt in her voice. Ning Cheng knew, that regardless of if what she said was true or not, the only thing that he could do was to simply remain silent. The old woman saw that Ning Chengs attitude had already changed, and still continued, In the Thunder Fall Desert, just near to the entrance to the Hua Continent you will find a river, this river is called the Thunder Fall Scorching River. There is a thing in this Thunder Fall Scorching River, that I have been in pursuit for many years. However, even with all my preparations, I found that I still could not obtain it. You already have a very powerfulputing ability, perhaps you would be able to help me out a bit in that regard. Ning Cheng did not even seem to consider it for even a single moment, before he replied, OK, I will definitely apany senior to the Thunder Fall Scorching River, but only after I finish up with the second round. He knew that he could not refuse it even if he wanted to, because he had made the same promise to the old woman in the past. At this moment he only hoped that this old woman would not kill him after she obtained the thing that she has been searching for all this time. However, this old woman really did not look like that type, and normally wouldnt kill him without a reason. No, you will apany me now, it would only be for 2 or 3 days at most, and since your second round is in 10 days, you would not be dyed. The white haired old woman simply said. Ning Cheng was just about to say that they would not be able to arrive even at the edge of the Thunder Fall Desert in 2-3 days, but then immediately thought about the cultivation level of the other side, he immediately understood that time was absolutely not applicable to the old woman in front of him. Ning Cheng gave out a dark sigh in his heart and said, In that case, let me at least go speak to my partner, so that she would not be nervous when she cannot find me. No, you little **, she is in the middle of her closed door training, it would be better to not disturb her. This white haired old woman did not wait for Ning Cheng to speak again, and grabbed hold of Ning Cheng and immediately came out of his room. Ning Cheng said with some anger in his voice, I always at least leave a letter, you are too unreasonable. The white haired old woman seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and let go of Ning Cheng, and immediately spoke: We wille back soon, as such there is no need for you leave a long message. Dont try to be too affectionate, if you dont care of losing several days. Facing this impervious old woman, Ning Cheng didnt bother to argue with her, he only hoped that old woman was at least trustworthy, and would bring him back to the Mo Ze City within 2-3 days. Inside the Mo Ze City, the old woman did not continue to urge Ning Cheng. But left quickly, and in just a short period of time, they were already out of the Mo Ze City. Ning Cheng who was following behind the old woman, also had to speed up. The old woman did not immediately take out her Flying Type Artefact, even aftering out of the Mo Ze City, she only increased her pace a little. Ning Cheng guessed that she wanted to find a ce where nobody could see her Flying Type Artefact. Even though they were out of the city, there were still many people walking on the road. And in addition to the cultivators who were flitting through, there were even a few adventurers who were alsoing and going through the Mo Ze City. Ning Cheng had just passed by two cultivators when he heard one of them saying, Junior Apprentice Sister Yu Jing, do you know why Dean Man asked us toe to the Thunder Fall Desert? I am not very clear about that, I heard that the ruins of the Lan Yi Country appeared in the Thunder Fall Desert, and many people are looking for it, but I never heard anyone say that they found the ruins. For Dean Man to take us to the Thunder Fall Desert, it is most likely because of it, I guess that it is some sort of a trial for the core disciples of the Falling Star Academy. The other person replied quietly. Ning Cheng immediately slowed down, the one who had answered was obviously a woman. Of these two male cultivators, one of them was obviously a woman dressed up as a man. Moreover, he had also heard several keywords, Yu Jing, Core Disciples, and the Falling Star Academy. From those keywords, Ning Cheng could almost ascertain that the woman cultivator disguised as a man was most probably Meng Yu Jing. As Ning Cheng slowed down his ce, Meng Yu Jing and the other man immediately went past him. He used his Spiritual Sense to sweep at Meng Yu Jing, but found that her face was covered with a veil that blocked his Spiritual Sense. However, from the eyes that were exposed, Ning Cheng could definitely tell that she was an absolute beauty, as that pair of eyes were really beautiful and matchless. If not for Meng Yu Jing having a veil on her face, Ning Cheng would have already walked up to her to talk to her and then then give the parcel to her that was entrusted to him for her. Just what the hell are you doing? Move faster, dont dawdle around. The white haired old woman did not know when Ning Cheng had moved away from her side, and called back at Ning Cheng with a very dissatisfied tone. Ning Cheng quickly replied, Senior, a moment ago two people went past us and one of them seems to be called Meng Yu Jing, I saw her talking to the other person, I just want to talk a bit with her, I might end up dying you a bit, but I still want to track her for a bit. This white haired old woman said while frowning, Ning Cheng, you already have a woman called Ji Luo Fei by your side, although I can see that you dont love her, but she is definitely quite a beautiful woman, so why do you not like her. Besides that, Meng Yu Jing is not only a peerless beauty but she is also the spoiled child of the Falling Star Academy, even if you already are a core disciple of the God Wind Academy, and even secured the first ce in the first round, you still arent qualified enough for her to even spare a nce at you. It would be better if you gave up this thing immediately. Senior Gong Sun, I do not see love as a hobby. Even if it was Ji Luo Fei, we are just friends. The reason why I want to find Meng Yu Jing is because I really have toplete something, it is already very difficult to meet with her, so now that I saw her, I would of course want toplete this matter. Ning Cheng said with an unhappy expression, this old woman really judges people too easily, when did I even have a person that I loved here? Even if he was together with Ji Luo Fei, it was also for a reason. Then why dont you just directly go up to her and be done with it? The old woman said impatiently. Ning Cheng simply refuted her idea, No, first I have to look into her character. Only then, would I try to determine if I should really look for her or not. This Meng Yu Jing was already Kou Hongs fiance, but it seems that she was very affectionate towards that other man, if Meng Yu Jing really turned out to be the same as Xiong Qi Hua, then Ning Cheng was reluctant to give her something that Kou Hong had risked his life for. Although he had also benefited from Kou Hong, but he really felt responsible for Kou Hongs death, he believed that if that Kou Hong was alive, he would definitely not be willing to see his fiance being this affectionate with another man. The white haired old woman said with a helpless tone, That being the case, I let you track her down this once only. It seems that seeking your help is really too difficult for me, when you found me for refining an Artefact, didnt you also ask the basics of Alchemy from me, did I hesitate to give it to you? I even gave the inner armour to you. Chapter 0100 – Cold River Chapter 0100 C Cold River Ning Cheng just ignored theints of the white haired old woman by his side, and stealthily followed behind Meng Yu Jing. Half an hourter, they already left the Mo Ze City behind, and arrived at a mountain vige. There were not a lot of people in the vige, and even on the streets there were not more than 10 people roaming around. Such mountain viges were quite numerous all around the Mo Ze City, as some of the adventurers and the merchants that frequently go to the Mo Ze City, were the local residents here. As Ning Cheng was following Meng Yu Jing and the other man, he saw her and that man enter the corner most house of the mountain vige. Ning Cheng quickly and stealthily arrived at the window of the house, and used his Spiritual Sense to carefully explore the inside of the house. Unexpectedly the inside of the house was fully furnished, not only the living room but also the bedroom too, and looking at the actions of Meng Yu Jing and that man, it seemed that they often came her. Junior Apprentice Sister Yu Jing, did he note to seek you out? The man asked, somewhat absent-mindedly No, I guess that he had gone to find his little brother, otherwise if he had the chance, then he would certainlye to see me. Meng Yu Jings voice was very low, as if she was thinking of something very deep and far away. Junior Apprentice Sister Yu Jing ...... The man suddenly came in front of Meng Yu Jing, and with one hand loosened Meng Yu Jings robe, as the other hand climbed towards Meng Yu Jings breasts. Ning Chengs heart was suddenly filled with sorrow for Kou Hong, at that time when he was dying he was still reminiscing about his fiance, moreover he also wanted Ning Cheng to deliver his stuff to his fiance, but he didnt seem to think that his fiance would turn out to have such a character. If Kou Hong knew that his fiance was this kind of person, he would have definitely not send someone like him to deliver his things to her nor would he do it himself if it was possible. Ning Cheng was still guessing that this little house was where Meng Yu Jing often conducted her private meetings, when he felt that the scruff of his neck tighten, the next moment he was taken away from here. The white haired old woman tossed Ning Cheng on the ground and said, Arent you afraid to be cross eyed, there is no point in looking at such things, hurry up and lets go to the Thunder Fall Scorching River with me. Although Ning Cheng did not speak, but his heart was filled with a lot of sorrow, he knew that if he looked at this for too long he would definitely go cross eyed, but looking at the ce that was overflowing with his virility, didnt he go cross-eyed a long time ago. This old woman really did not have any sense of shame. Besides, if she herself was not looking, how could she know what he was looking at? ...... The white haired old woman had really not bragged about her strength, as she arrived at the Thunder Fall Scorching River in just half a day while carrying Ning Cheng. In Ning Chengs opinion, the distance to the Thunder Fall Scorching River from the Mo Ze City was much farther than the distance he had travelled when he hade out of the Thunder Fall Desert to the Mo Ze City. Seeing the Thunder Fall Scorching River from the Flying Type Artefact, Ning Cheng felt that it really was boundless. Looking at the ripples flowing on the water surface, it made people feel that the river was very gentle. But the deep colour of the water, made Ning Cheng think of the quicksand river in the movie Journey to the West. This quicksand like river had the width of 800 meters and 3000 meters deep. Looking at it, it felt that even if a feather was floating on the surface, it would end up sinking into the depths of that river. Why is it so cold here? Ning Cheng had just got down from the Flying Type Artefact, when he immediately asked with a surprised voice. When heard the name as Thunder Fall Scorching River, he had thought that the water temperature would be very high, at worst, he thought it would only be an ordinary river. It was absolutely impossible for such a ce that was emanating a piercingly cold temperature, to be called as Thunder Fall Scorching River. Could this even be called a river, Ning Cheng felt that because of the biting cold that he was feeling just by standing on the side of the river, if he really went inside the river, then would he still be alive? One must know that he was already a True Condensation 1st Level cultivator, even if did not circte the True Essence in his body, it should still not be enough for him to be this sensitive towards the cold. Thats because this river also has another name, and is called Forbidden Cold River. When I said its name as the Thunder Fall Scorching River, it was its name countless years ago and now the people who know this river as the Thunder Fall Scorching River are not many. Most of the people know this ce as one of the 2 coldest ces of the Yi Xing Maind, the Forbidden Cold River. Many people say that the coldest ce in the Yi Xing Maind are the cold caves in the Forbidden Woods, but they are wrong, the coldest ce in the Yi Xing Maind is here, the Forbidden Cold River. The white haired old woman seemed to exining this to Ning Cheng, but also seemed to be just thinking out loud. Ning Cheng actually did not think that what the old woman said was wrong, he was just standing by the side of the river, and could already feel the biting cold temperature, once he entered the river, how couldnt it be more terrible than this? The reason why I stayed in the Nan Yuan City, was because I was infected by the cold Qi in here. I had originally thought that I would nevere back to this ce again, but then I did not think that you would actually give me the materials from the One Horned Flood Dragon. For me this probably was an act of the heavens, to let me once again enter the Forbidden Cold River. The old woman sighed, and said out those words even though Ning Cheng had never asked for it. Why must you use only the materials from the One Horned Flood Dragon? Ning Cheng asked in a puzzling voice. The white haired woman kept staring at the faint ripples on the surface of the river, before she finally spoke in a very mild voice, No matter how high your cultivation is and no matter how extreme you have refined your body to, no one can resist the biting cold of this river. Only by using a Water Boat Type Artefact refined from the materials of the One Horned Flood Dragon, could one enter the Cold River, and even the effect from the cold Qi would be a lot lessened. Moreover, refining the horn of the Flood Dragon into the bow, the speed of the boat would also be the fastest in the Cold River. Ning Cheng suddenly understood, no wonder that even though this old womans cultivation was so high, but she still held the ss 4 One Horned Dragon so dear to her. He could understand that she originally wanted to explore this Cold River, but he did not know what kinds of treasures were inside this Cold River, for the old woman to be this concerned about it. Before I had found two Horned Flood Dragons to use as materials, the first Horned Flood Dragon was a ss 7 Monstrous Beast, and it was the material that I could use over and over in this Cold River. Unfortunately, while trying to find what I wanted, this water boat refined from that Horned Dragons materials ended up being eroded by the cold Qi. Later, after several years passed, I once again obtained materials from a ss 5 One Horned Flood Dragon.... As Ning Cheng heard the white haired old woman speak, his heart started to race, for this white haired old woman to obtain materials from a ss 7 Horned Flood Dragon, just how high was her cultivation level? It would at least be at the Soul Sculpting Realm, right? No wonder she could easily enter his room without him noticing. The white haired old woman did not know that Ning Cheng was thinking about her incredible cultivation level, and still continued, That water boat refined from the materials of the ss 5 One Horned Flood Dragon, being worse in grade than the water boat made from the ss 7 One Horned Flood Dragon also did notst for much time. When I used it to enter the Cold River for the third time, the water boat even began to break up. But I was much more skilful than before, and was able to find what I was looking for. At that time, I thought that even if the water boat broke down, I would still be able to be down there for 1-2 hours with my own power but .... Ning Cheng was somewhat worried in his heart when he heard that the water boat made by the old woman from the materials of the ss 5 One Horned Flood Dragon, could onlyst for three times before breaking down under the Cold River. Doesnt that mean the ss 4 One Horned Flood Dragon that he had given to the white haired old woman wouldnt alsost for much long? Once the boat broke inside the water, wouldnt he find it difficult to even hold a few breaths? Sure enough, the white haired old woman continued on, But I overestimated my own abilities, and couldnt even stay inside for more than an hour, before I was invaded by the cold Qi. In desperation, I could only withdraw from the Cold River, and went into seclusion in Nan Yuan City, a small ce, to heal myself. If I had not met you back then, I dont think that I would havee back here again. Senior, if that boat made from the ss 5 Horned Flood Dragon could only hold out for three times, then the Flood Dragon that I gave you was only a ss 4, wouldnt it be more .... Ning Cheng had not even finished speaking the words he wanted to say, before the white haired old woman understood what Ning Cheng wanted to say and spoke in a light voice, Do not worry, my Crafting Level has also improved a lot, this time we would only require a single trip. Moreover, this time I already know the way, so we can, in the shortest possible time, reach the bottom of the river. Of course, if you are too slow atputing at the entrance, and the boat breaks, I would really not have any other alternative, other than for you to apany me in death at the bottom of the Cold River. Ning Cheng cursed in his heart, who would even want to apany an old woman to death, but ultimately was unable to find a reason to resist. The white haired old woman simply ignored Ning Chengs silent resistance, and immediately brought out a pitch ck boat with a horn at the bow. While at the same time jumping onto the middle of the boat, she pulled out a hatch that was on top of the middle of the boat, it actually resembled more of a space capsule rather than a boat. Once the old woman entered through the hatch, she then called out to Ning Cheng, Come in. Ning Cheng also got inside the cabin through the hatch. But the space inside the cabin was extremely small, and the two people could only squeeze in. Fortunately, that white haired woman was quite old, and he himself was also only 20 years in age, so he did not feel embarrassed. After Ning Cheng was swindled into entering the cabin, the white haired old woman immediately shut the hatch, raising her hand she immediately took several pieces of Spirit Stones as she inserted them into the mosaic like pattern in front of the two of them, while simultaneously controlling the boat to enter the enter river. Even though they were inside the cabin, once they entered the water in the Cold River, Ning Cheng couldnt help but tremble at biting cold that he was feeling. In the meantime, Ning Chengs heart was beating crazily, as the shock that he received was just iparable. The white haired old woman thought that Ning Cheng was surprised because of the freezing cold and said with a bit of disdain in her voice, We have only just entered the water, the deeper we go the colder it gets. But only Ning Cheng knew, that he was not surprised because of the freezing cold that he was feeling nor because of the icy coldness of this Cold River. It was because when the old woman had taken out those Spirit Stones to insert them into the grooves of the mosaic like pattern, Ning Cheng could clearly see that the wrist of that white haired old woman was white and smooth, it was definitely not the wrist of an old woman. Even Ji Luo Feis wrist, were not this smooth and white. Chapter 0101 – The Door At The Bottom Of The River Chapter 0101 -The Door At The Bottom Of The River This old woman was definitely in disguise, Ning Cheng immediately came to the conclusion. An olddy with a face full of wrinkles, with even her hands looking very old, would definitely not have a smooth and jade white wrist. However, Ning Cheng soon calmed down, this might just turn out to be a blessing than a curse, if it was a curse then he would definitely not be able to avoid disaster. Whether the other side was an old woman or a young woman, he was the weaker party. Putting aside his fears, Ning Chengs thoughts finally opened up. He immediately discovered that other than the freezing cold getting even more and more intense, the speed of the water boat was also getting slower and slower. Senior, is this what you said when you mentioned that the boat was fast? Ning Cheng asked, while thinking how could this speed even be called as fast? Thats right, this is very fast. The old woman gave a simple answer, and did not even bother to exin. Ning Cheng felt really helpless, the only thing that he could do now was to circte the True Essence in his body to resist the freezing cold. His Spiritual Sense could only sweep up to the boundary of the Array Formation around the water boat, as such could only examine the area only 35 meters around the water boat, beyond this range, if he tried to send out his Spiritual Sense, it would disappear without a trace. Ning Cheng was secretly startled, once the water boat broke, then in this freezing cold water, how could he even survive for even a short moment? After an hour passed by, other that the freezing cold bing more and more intense, Ning Cheng could feel that the water boat was finally reaching the bottom of the river. After another hour passed by, Ning Cheng suddenly heard a crisp crackling sound, Ning Cheng became scared, and immediately turned towards the old woman to ask just what the hell was going on. He did not even speak the words that he wanted to ask when the old woman took the initiative to say, I really did not think that with your cultivation of a mere True Condensation 1st Level, your True Essence would be so rich, and could even withstand the cold in this ce. Senior, you do not need to divert my attention, didnt you also hear the loud sound from the water boat? Ning Cheng at this time did not care if the woman was old or young, and immediately asked. This old woman said that her water boat would be able to bring him back safely ashore, but just as they were reaching the bottom, the water boat was already cracked. So just how would it be able to take them back? Thats right, the water boat truly has cracked a moment ago. I did not expect that this ss 4 One Horned Flood Dragon would be so bad, we have not even reached that ce, when it has already started to crack up. The white haired old woman said with a calm tone, with not a shred of surprise on her face. But... But.... Ning Cheng only spoke two words, before this white haired old woman continued, You do not have to worry about it, we can definitely get away with our water boat, and you also will not die. Ning Cheng could only shut up, even if the white haired old woman let him go, he knew that he could not leave this ce by himself. Senior, can you tell me just what is at the bottom of this Cold River? So that I could at least think of something to help. Otherwise, even if we arrive at the bottom of the river, I would end up wasting time. Ning Cheng thought that in any case he woulde to know about this secret, and it was quite possible for the old woman to kill him to silence him up, so he might as well get to know about it. The white haired woman also did not hide anything, and spoke with a soft tone, Many years ago, when this Forbidden Cold River was actually called the Thunder Fall Scorching River. One day, in this Yi Xing Maind appeared an extremely fearful and terrifying Great Axe Shadow from a void, this Great Axe Shadow actually divided the Yi Xing Maind into two with its edge. Forming a valley tens of thousands of miles long, because this Great Axes origin was not simple, in this several thousand-mile-long valley, all kinds of rare and precious Spiritual Grasses grew crazily, as well as all kinds of worldly treasures. Could it be that Senior is talking about the Angry Axe Valley? Ning Cheng had heard about the legends of the Angry Axe Valley back in the airship, so when the old woman spoke about it, he immediately asked. But what he did not understand was, just what was the connection between the Angry Axe Valley and this Forbidden Cold River? The old woman nodded, Yes, that indeed is the Angry Axe Valley, moreover many people also know about this legend of the Angry Axe Valley, but what no one knows is that when the Great Axe Shadow came down, there was actually another thing that separated from it. But his thing did notnd in the Angry Axe Valley, but rather it fell into the Thunder Fall Scorching River. So then what Senior is looking for is the other thing that fell down from the void? Ning Cheng immediately came to understand. Thats right, I came here to find that thing. In fact, when this river was initially still known as the Thunder Fall Scorching River, there were many people who knew about it, but they were unable to find anything, and began to think that it was just false information. Because of the thing that had fallen from the void, the temperature of the Thunder Fall Scorching River started to get lower and lower, before it finally looks like today where the people now call it the Forbidden Cold River. I only came across this information by chance, and thus learned about the matter regarding the Thunder Fall Scorching River. As the white haired old woman spoke till here, her tone was somewhat filled with confidence, apparently she was confident that this piece of information was not known to others, and only known to her. Seeing Ning Cheng silent, the old woman once again volunteered to speak, That Angry Axe Valley is a fact, there are definitely many good things in there, in the future if you are able to enter the Angry Axe Valley, the profits you would obtain from there, you would not be able to spend it even in your entire lifetime. Of course, the prerequisite for that is that you have toe out from there alive. Isnt the Angry Axe Valley a mystical ce? Ive heard that it only opens for a limited time. Ning Cheng quickly asked. The white haired old woman just gave a snort and said, Innumerable years ago, the Yi Xing Maind was very rich in resources, and such resources were as abundant as clouds in the sky. Even the cultivators in the Crucible Transformation Realm could be seen everywhere, at that time the Angry Axe Valley was basically not a mystical ce. Many strong cultivators had already entered the Angry Axe Valley looking for a chance to be rich, because there were just too many good things in the Angry Axe Valley, it resulted in a vast ughtering between the many powerhouses. As more and more of those powerhouses got killed in there, thest of the Crucible Transformation Realm cultivators finally sat down to discuss. They then mutually agreed that from then on no one above the Essence Building Realm could enter the Angry Axe Valley, and as such all of them worked together to turn it into a mystical ce, moreover only if one had a specific Jade Card, would they be able to enter the Angry Axe Valley. While Ning Cheng was still listening to her speak, he once again heard the cracking sound. Ning Chengsplexion immediately became ugly, the quality of this water boat was definitely not good. He had already been thinking about it, so the moment the water boat finally burst open, he would immediately try to enter the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Since the time he had involuntarily entered the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he had never again tried to enter the Mysterious Yellow Bead. As such Ning Cheng did not know if he would be able to go in. We have arrived. The white haired old womans voice immediately interrupted Ning Chengs thoughts. Not even waiting for Ning Cheng to speak, as the white haired old woman opened the water boats hatch, she simultaneously pulled out the Array gs. The next moment, the old woman grabbed Ning Cheng, and immediately exited the boat along with him. Just as Ning Chengs top half came out of the Water Boat Type Artefact, he immediately felt a wave of ice cold feeling invading him, he could not even circte his True Essence at all, and not only that, he couldnt even use his Spiritual Sense. Finished, Ning Cheng had just thought of this idea, when the white haired old woman immediately covered him and her with a fiery Shield Type Artefact. This fiery shieldpletely covered Ning Cheng and herself, after the fiery shield covered Ning Cheng, the icy cold feeling that he was just feelingpletely disappeared. As the chilly feeling disappeared, Ning Cheng immediately saw a huge door appear in front of him. This huge door had the same colour as the water of the Cold River surrounding it, if it was not for the old woman who had taken him out and pointed to it, he would have really not seen it. An ancient aura that made one feel the vicissitudes of life could immediately be felt by Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng immediately knew that whatever was behind that door would certainly not be ordinary. The old woman had definitely spoken the truth to him, there definitely was a treasure here, but unfortunately it was not his treasure. Even if he did obtain it, it would easily be taken away by the old woman. Ning Cheng subconsciously used his Spiritual Sense to investigate, but immediately felt a stabbing pain in his Zifu, he basically could not sweep out with his Spiritual Sense. He looked at the white haired old woman next to him, and was immediately startled to see that the white haired old woman was shivering, even her face was growing increasingly pale. It was evident that it was very difficult to maintain this fiery shield for the old woman. You see the thing on the front of the door, right? The old woman asked Ning Cheng in a very excited tone as if she waspletely unaware that trying to sustain that shield was very exhausting to her. Ning Cheng could clearly hear her voice, and could tell that it was a bit different from the voice that she used to speak with her, he understood that it must be her real voice. But he put that aside for the time being, and saw that there were six different Array Formation gs on the door, and did not have anything else on it. Ning Cheng looked a bit puzzled when he once again heard the old womans eager voice, I cannotst long, look at the bottom of the Array gs of the Array Formation, and quickly calcte how many Array Formations can be arranged with it. Ning Cheng then discovered that there was actually a row of characters inscribed below the six Array gs that said, This Array Formation base changes every time, there are 6 different Explosion Array gs here, and are to be fitted into two rows of three, how many times can this Array Formation change. The was a nk space in front of the row of characters, it turned that they had to fill their answer in that nk space. This topic was extremely simple to Ning Cheng, what the words meant was there were 6 different Array gs, and they had to be arranged into two rows, and each row can have only 3 Array gs, and it asked for how many ways can the Array gs be ced. Senior, this question is too simple, and could even be done without using your Spiritual Sense, so how could you not be able to do it even after so many years? Ning Cheng looked at the white haired old woman in a puzzling way, he did not believe that such a topic could not be solved by the white haired old woman. Idiot, the question is different each time, now hurry up and calcte it. The white haired old woman cried out with an unhappy tone. Ning Cheng was speechless for a while before he replied, I dont even need to calcte such a question, there are 720 different arranging methods. So simple? The old woman looked at Ning Cheng in disbelief, Ning Cheng had not even calcted before he answered, which made her feel some doubts. Ning Cheng just went and ignored the old woman, whether she believed it or not its her problem. The old woman looked at Ning Chengs expression, and knew that Ning Cheng would not reply to her even if she asked again. She suddenly moved the fiery shield sideways, and made an effort to write the digits 720 in the nk space that was provided. Creak Creak Creak A light sound could be heard, as the huge door having the same colour as the surrounding water slowly opened. It really was right? The old woman was pleasantly surprised as she looked at Ning Cheng and said, Without my control, the shield will only work for a limited time, you go find your way back to the inside of the water boat and wait for me to return, I am going in.... She did not even finish her words, when the old woman rushed through the front of the water like door. Immediately the water like door began to close once more slowly. Ning Cheng was dumbfounded as he stared at this water like door in front of him, and for a momentpletely forgot what that the old woman had told him to find his way back to the water boat. At the moment when the door had opened, he had felt an unprecedentedly rich Spiritual Qi. No, that was definitely not a Spiritual Qi, it was something much more powerful than Spiritual Qi, he could feel that his own cultivation level had risen up significantly. Just what in the world was this ce? Chapter 0102 – Immortal Mansion Chapter 0102 C Immortal Mansion Ning Chengs first thought was to immediately sit down and start cultivating but then remembered that his life was currently in danger. This ce was already so bone piercingly cold, that it even required the old woman with her unfathomable cultivation to use her fiery shield, even if he somehow returned back to the boat, he knew that returning to the surface by himself would be really difficult. The fiery shield that was covering him was already starting to fade, it was obviously because the old woman who was controlling it had already gone off, and thus the shield could not sustain itself for long. Ning Cheng looked back at the boat in which he came in, and mentally calcted the distance between them. He concluded that before the fiery shieldpletely disappeared, he should be able to return to the boat if he exhausted his entire energy. It was evident that the old woman had also taken him into consideration, and did not try to intentionally harm him. But Ning Cheng was still cursing her in her heart, this old woman waspletely focused on her own treasure, and simply neglected his safety, she was the type of person who would dismantle the bridge after crossing it. Just when Ning Cheng decided to move towards the boat by controlling the magic shield, he suddenly felt a strong calling. Ning Cheng immediately noticed that in front of therge water coloured door which was already closed, there appeared a small thing at the centre of it. This thing was dark purple in colour, and was only the size of a soybean. Ning Cheng confirmed that he had definitely not seen this thing before, thus concluded that this thing had definitely appeared after this water coloured door at the bottom of this Cold River opened, otherwise that old woman who had rushed inside a few moments ago would have also definitely noticed this thing. Go back to the boat, or take away that thing that was only of the size of a soybean? With the residual power of the shield that covered him, he could only make one of the two choices. He knew that if he got to the water coloured gate, the shield that covered him would definitely not be able to help him return back to the boat. Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment, before finally deciding to take away that thing. That strong calling that he felt a moment ago definitely came from that soybean sized thing, and as Ning Cheng felt that since this ce definitely was not simple, so this thing would also not be ordinary. After he obtained this thing, once the fiery shield protecting him lost its function, he would then try to find a way to enter the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Cultivation was to rely on chance and fortuitous encounters, if a chance was provided to you, and if you did not take advantage of it, then your mind and heart would definitely be haunted by the thoughts of it. Moreover, Ning Cheng knew that once the old woman came out, she would definitely not even give him soup to drink. Once he made the decision, Ning Cheng no longer hesitated, and immediately went towards the dark purple thing to grab it. Only when Ning Cheng moved towards it, it was only then he understood why the old woman said that the ship was very fast. Walking at the bottom of this river was extremely difficult, Ning Cheng almost had to circte the entire True Essence in his body towards the shield just to move forward, and even moving 1-2 meters, it took Ning Cheng several breaths of time. Moreover, in front of the big water coloured door, was an Array Formation that obstructed the flow of water, or else he would have found it even more difficult to walk. Seeing the shield starting to break apart, Ning Cheng did not think of anything else, and immediately moved his hands to catch that dark purple thing. Instantly an intense heat entered through Ning Chengs palm, and started to spread throughout his body. Kacha The fiery shield finally broke apart, Ning Cheng found that it was simply toote to try and enter the Mysterious Yellow Bead, but this time he surprisingly found that he did not need to enter the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Because of the terrible heat spreading out from his palm, the freezing cold all around him dispersed. But Ning Cheng could feel that, if he could not control this scorching heating out of the thing that he had just caught, he entire body might just turn to ash. But then unexpectedly a kind of pleasant feeling was transmitted from the soybean sized thing in Ning Chengs hand, which made Ning Cheng feel that although it was extremely powerful, but it did not have any intention to hurt him, which also made Ning Cheng slightly calmer. The next moment Ning Cheng received even more information, this insignificant thing in his hands, unexpectedly turned out to have an innate intelligence, moreover it also took the initiative to recognize him as its master. Ning Cheng did not hesitate even for a moment and imprinted his own brand on it, and it suddenly disappeared from his hands, and did not even wait for Ning Cheng to refine it. Or rather Ning Cheng currently could not afford to refine it. Ning Cheng soon discovered where this thing had gone into hiding, it was right next to the Mysterious Yellow Bead, and was resting in the middle of his Zifu. It turned out it was because of the Mysterious Yellow Bead, that it had recognised him as its master. Although it was not because of his own Spiritual Qi, he understood that it was because the Qi from the Mysterious Yellow Bead was different from his. Ning Cheng learned from the flood of information just now, that this thing that was just the size of a soybean had a very famous name, called the Star River, as of its origin, or how to use it, he did not know at the moment. This thing called the Star River just stayed motionless next to the Mysterious Yellow Bead, as if waiting for Ning Cheng to refine it. Something is not right, it was at this moment, that Ning Cheng discovered that the shield had long since disappeared, and moreover he had still not returned to the boat, but he could now easily endure the freezing cold of the surrounding water. Not only could he easily tolerate it, he could clearly feel that the bone piercing cold around him was gradually weakening, which also meant that the temperature at the bottom of the river was also beginning to rise. Ning Cheng did not know what was going on, but he was sure that what was happening all around him definitely had some kind of rtion with the Star River. This Star River at the bottom of this Cold River, was not freezing cold like its surroundings, but instead had such a high temperature which was somewhat strange. Now that he had already taken this Star River, the temperature at the bottom of this river immediately began to rise. It was at this time that Ning Cheng came to realize, that the original heat in the river was actually fully absorbed by this Star River that he obtained. Because the heat of the river waspletely absorbed by the Star River, the river had in turn be bone piercingly cold. And because the thermal energy was constantly being absorbed by this Star River, the river also could not freeze up, it was simr to super cooled water that he used to hear back on Earth. Something this terrifying was unexpectedly staying in his Zifu, fortunately it had identified him as its master, otherwise how could his body contain all the heat it had absorbed till now? At this time Ning Cheng clearly understood that his thing could absorb pure thermal energy. He decided to first get out into the air, since this Star River had already recognised him as its master, he had to refine itpletely, and absolutely cannot let even a shred of mistake to crop up. At this point of time, the bone piercing cold at the bottom of the river had already vanished, Ning Cheng was not willing to waste even the slightest time, and immediately sat down on in front of the huge door and began cultivating. The Spiritual Qi here was so rich, if he did not cultivate here then he really was a fool. As Ning Cheng sat down there to cultivate, he realized that he had underestimated the density of the Spiritual Qi here. He had never tried cultivating so fast, just by sitting there and cultivating there, he had already advanced from the Early Stage of True Condensation 1st Level to the Peak Stage of True Condensation 1st Level, and that too in just a few hours. He did not even have to wait for even half a moment before he once again advanced to the Early Stage of True Condensation 2nd Level, moreover his cultivation level was still rising unceasingly. Two dayster, Ning Cheng had already advanced to the Peak Stage of the True Condensation 2nd Level. Ning Chengs heart was filled with joy, he wanted to rush to True Condensation 3rd Level. Unfortunately, just when he was attempting to breakthrough to the True Condensation 3rd Level, he found that the extremely dense Spiritual Qi around him disappeared without a trace. Did Ipletely absorb it? Ning Cheng thought to himself with a little disappointment in his heart, if he could still have such a dense and rich Spiritual Qi, then how could others even match up to his cultivation speed? This Spiritual Qi was because it had leaked out when the door in front of him only opened for a bit, if he actually entered through the door, then the speed of his cultivation would definitely be even more formidable, Ning Cheng just couldnt imagine it. Unfortunately, the door was closed, and the things inside would definitely be taken by the white haired old woman. But feeling his own True Essence much more vigorous than before, the disappointment in Ning Chengs heart was reced by happiness. Calcting the time that he had spent here, including his cultivation, it had nearly been three days, since the old woman had entered the door in front of him, and has still note out. It looked like the old woman had lied to him when she said that she would bring him back to the Mo Ze City in 2-3 days time. Ning Cheng did not have any other way, and helplessly started refining the Star River in his Zifu. Since the Star River had already recognized him as its master, so when Ning Cheng began to refine it, it unexpectedly turned out to be extremely easy, and in just half a day, Ning Cheng hadpletely refined the Star River. It wasnt until this time did Ning Cheng came to know just what exactly was this Star River thing, in the end it was a seed for a special type of fire. Only after absorbing a massive quantity of mes, or by absorbing a massive quantity of thermal energy, this fire seed would finally break out of its shell, and be a true me. Moreover, the reason why this Star River had actively recognised Ning Cheng as its master was because of the Mysterious Yellow Bead. After refining the Star River, since he could no longer absorb the rich and dense Qi from before, Ning Cheng then tried pushing on the door that was in front of him, but the door stood motionless, and was still extremely firm. Ning Cheng looked around the door in front of him, and suddenly saw four letters etched onto it in an extremely small writing, Soft me Immortal Mansion. This ce unexpectedly turned out to be an Immortal Mansion? Ning Cheng waspletely shocked in his heart, he believed that no one would think that under the Thunder Fall Scorching River would there be an Immortal Mansion. Moreover, although he had never heard of any legends pertaining to Immortals in the Yi Xing Maind, but he had definitely heard about legends concerning Immortals back on his homnd, Earth. Of course it was only in ancient Chinese literatures, but now he was actually seeing an Immortal Mansion with his own eyes. Ning Cheng was not sure if these Immortals were the same as the Immortals in his imagination, but he knew that the inside of this door would definitely not be ordinary. Ning Cheng now fully understood why that old woman wanted to enter the door, she wanted to refine this Immortal Mansion. My goodness, if she actually went ahead and refined the Immortal Mansion for herself, just how many treasures would she be able to obtain? Just as Ning Cheng just thought of this, he could sense an extremely dangerous feeling in his subconscious, Ning Cheng did not think of anything else and rapidly retreated. Then he saw that the closed door of the Immortal Mansion suddenly open, and just like how the old woman entered, the same way she flew out like a cannonball. Originally there was a Confinement Array Formation ced on the front of the door which had restricted the flow of the water, but now that he had quickly retreated out of the range of the Array Formation, Ning Cheng found himself being pulled in the direction the strong water currents and immediately began to circte his True Essence as he retreated back. As the old woman was thrown out, it was apparent that she could not sessfully refine it. The old womans cultivation was not powerful enough to sessfully refine it, Ning Cheng imagined, as he moved towards the surface of the river. Fortunately, the temperature of the water at this time was no longer the same bone piercingly cold, otherwise he would have died without a doubt. Boom....... A huge sound could be heard, as a huge water current moved towards Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng immediately got caught up in this water current, and was immediately thrown out the river. As he flew over the river, at the same time, he saw a dark shadow hurtle into a void at the bottom of the river, before it disappeared in a sh. Because Ning Cheng was jolted by such a powerful impact because of the water column, he immediately spewed out a few mouthfuls of blood, as he once again crashed into the river. He immediately rushed towards the shore before thinking anything else. Lying on the shore, Ning Cheng finally was able to catch his breath. Only after a long time, did he see the figure of the old woman a bit far away from him,ing out of the river. At this time the corners of the mouth of the white haired old woman were overflowing with blood, and even her clothes were torn up, and this time Ning Cheng could clearly see the exposed skin which was pure white. This was the first time that Ning Cheng had seen the old woman without her Concealment Restriction that she had ced on herself, and just as she came out she once again ced the Concealment Restriction on herself, and resumed her old appearance. But this time her eyes contained a trace of true loss and fatigue. Seeing this white haired old woman arrive in front of him on her own, Ning Cheng got up with difficulty, and coughed a few times before he said, Senior, just what was that thing that had vanished into the void below the river? I almost died by that thing as I was reaching up, it was really frightful. The old woman sighed, Even if you knew about it, it would not be any use to you, moreover I cannot refine it. s, I also brought trouble for you, let me send you back to Mo Ze City. Saying that, the white haired old woman did not seem willing to speak anymore, and controlling her Flying Type Artefact with her fastest speed arrived at Mo Ze City along with Ning Cheng, putting Ning Cheng down she said, This time I owe you a favour, I need to go into closed door cultivation at the moment, we shall meet again in the future. After the old woman and Ning Cheng exchanged a casual greeting, she once again controlled her Flight Type Magical Artefact, and immediately vanished without a trace. Ning Cheng looked in the direction in which the white haired old woman departed, and sighed in his heart, this time his luck was not bad, and had even obtained a mysterious fire seed. Although this white haired old woman looked tired and lost, Ning Cheng did not believe that she did not obtain at least some treasures from the Immortal Mansion. Perhaps she was greedier than he thought, as even if she obtained a lot of things from there, she was still not satisfied. Chapter 0103 – Mother and Daughter’s Reunion Chapter 0103 C Mother and Daughters Reunion Ji Luo Fei did not think that she would only use less than 3 days to advance from the Peak Stage of Qi Gathering 5th Level to the Early Stage of Qi Gathering 6th Level. After advancing to the Qi Gathering 6th Level, Ji Luo Fei hurriedly stabilized her cultivation level and rushed out in excitement, she wanted to share this good news with Ning Cheng. She knew that Ning Cheng was very concerned about her cultivation, as long as she could increase her cultivation, she knew that it would be the happiest thing for Ning Cheng. What made Ji Luo Fei puzzled was that she could not find Ning Cheng anywhere, moreover he did not even leave a letter behind. Ji Luo Fei came out of the room, and was going to ask the people from the inn, if they had seen Ning Cheng going out. Ji Luo Fei had just walked past the reception of the inn, when she saw a middle aged beautiful woman in the guest room asking the waiter if there was an empty room. Ji Luo Fei felt that this middle aged beautiful woman had some kind of connection to her, and subconsciously looked at her a few times. At this point the middle aged beautiful woman became aware that Ji Luo Fei was looking at her, she turned and just happened to look at Ji Luo Fei staring at her. She also stared at Ji Luo Fei for a long time, before Ji Luo Fei started to frown, but then this middle aged woman immediately cried out in a trembling voice, Luo Fei. After she said those words, the middle aged womans seemed to have be inmed, and her expression also turned excited. Who are you? Ji Luo Fei stared at the middle aged woman and asked, she felt that there definitely was some sort of connection between herself and this middle aged woman, moreover it was an implicit feeling, which made her feel a little weird. Luo Fei, what happened to your face? The middle aged beautiful woman found that Ji Luo Feis face was disfigured, and immediately asked in a tense voice. This middle aged woman was none other than Xiong Qi Hua, as she thought of how her daughters face became disfigured. When she had seen this disfigured face of her daughter, she suddenly felt a burst of dizziness hit her. She was really feeling sorry for her daughter, because she did not take good care of her, and it ended up in her daughter having a disfigured face. Ji Luo Fei felt that the strange familiar feeling that she was feeling was growing more intense by the moment, as she asked again, May I ask who exactly are you? Luo Fei, mother has been unfair to you, let you suffer such hardships...... Although Xiong Qi Hua had not met her in a long while, but now that she finally met her, she found that her daughter has been disfigured, and as a result her heart was filled with grief, and couldnt help but cry out. If she had note to this inn for finding information, Xiong Qi Hua would have alreadypletely submerged herself in her grief. Ji Luo Fei stood there as if she was struck by lightning, as she stared at this very sad looking middle aged beautiful woman in front of her, and couldnt help but nkly ask, Are you really my mother? Ji Luo Fei immediately knew that the person in front of her was definitely her mother, this kind of link was a natural feeling, which rose from the bottom of her heart, it was not something that she could doubt at all. Mother...... Ji Luo Fei suddenly could not hold back her tears, after all these years, she was finally able to meet her. Before Ning Cheng changed, she would always stay at a forgotten corner of her house. Countless times, she yearned to go back to the side of her mother when she slept. She always held true to her convictions, and would always think that as long as she was alive, there woulde one day, when she would eventually find her mother. Today her mother actually appeared in front of her, she was even suspecting that it was all a dream inside her head. Now that she knew that she really was her mother, both of them did not show any signs of estrangement, and the two of them cried on each others shoulders. After a long time, Ji Luo Fei realised that they were still standing outside, and immediately took her mother to her room. Xiong Qi Hua also seemed to have calmed down a bit, and asked again, Luo Fei, what happened to your face, how did this happen? Although she asked her, she did not wait for Ji Luo Fei to reply, and once more muttered, Mother had been unfair to you, even though I am holding your hand, your mother had cruel heartedly left you .... Seeing her mother constantly ming herself, as she continued to mumble to herself. Ji Luo Fei also felt extremely miserable, she also held her mothers hands and sobbed continuously as she said, Mother, it is not your fault, we were separated in the Daan Forest, but now that we have met each other again, I am really very happy. Mother, did my father alsoe with you? After asking, Ji Luo Fei felt that something was not right, although her mother hade, but her father had note to see her, because of this she somewhat understood what was might have happened to her father. Herplexion immediately paled as she stood up, Mother, where is father? Didnt fathere out of Daan Forest? Xiong Qi Hua also stood up, and holding Ji Luo Feis hand said, Luo Fei, everything is not good, there were many things that happened to us. Although your father is no more, but now that us mother and daughter have finally met again, he should be finally resting in peace in heaven. Ji Luo Fei slumped to her knees in tears, she had never even seen her father before he died. For a child, what could be even more sad than this. Xiong Qi Hua helped her daughter up, as she felt tangled in her heart, when she really saw her, she suddenly did not want to cheat her daughter. It turns out that Ning Cheng had not disclosed the matter between her and Zhu Hong Wen to her daughter. Did she really want to continue to lie and cheat her own daughter? But whenever she wanted to say the truth, Zhu Hong Wens voice and his smiling face appeared in her mind. She knew that if she really told the truth to her daughter, she would no longer be able to be with her daughter. Subconsciously, she stoked her stomach, this was the crystallization between her and her lover. If her daughter did not allow her to be together with Zhu Hong Wen, then when her second child came out into the world, then wouldnt he/she would also have to share the same fate of having no father? Even if Hong Wen epted her as his step-daughter, would her daughter ept him as her step-father. Not only her child cannot be separated from Hong Wen, even she did not want to separate from Hong Wen. In this world, Hong Wen was the only person who loved her from the bottom of his heart. From the first day that she saw Hong Wen, her love for him had never changed. Even if she was forced to marry into the Ji n, even if they had been forced into the Daan Forest 10 years ago, Hong Wen had always apanied her by her side, and never once left her sight. Mother, you do not need to be sad, let us all go to the Daan Forest in the future, to pay respect to my father. Although Ji Luo Fei was sad, she could still perceive that something was not right with her mother. Xiong Qi Hua recovered a bit, and rubbed her tear swollen eyes, but still spoke with a sobbing voice, I was stranded in the Daan Forest for 10 years, although I have thought numerous times to leave the Daan Forest, but I simply wasnt able to get out of the Daan Forest. I could only look for a safe ce to stay in the Daan Forest, s as such I was trapped there for more than 10 years.... Mother.... As Ji Luo Fei thought of her mother being trapped in such a fearful ce like the Daan Forest for 10 years, her heart was filled with grief. She had listened to the perils inside the Daan Forest when Ning Cheng had talked about it. Luckily, each Monstrous Beast had its own territory, if you were able to find a safe spot, at least you could barely survive. It was obvious that her mother had also done this, but as for the hardships that her mother had to go through during those times, she just could not imagine it. Ji Luo Fei with her heart filled with grief, quickly came over to support Xiong Qi Hua. This time Xiong Qi Hua consciously stroked her slightly swollen belly, and Ji Luo Fei also ended up seeing it clearly. She immediately became surprised and asked, Mother, are you.... She did not dare ask about it, but her mind had already turned nk. With her belly slightly swollen, it was obviously the symptom of being pregnant, her father had obviously died long back, so how could her mother be pregnant? As Xiong Qi Hua heard Ji Luo Feis words, her face immediately became very pale, she immediately picked up the knife from the table, and tried to puncture her own neck. Ji Luo Fei under panic, called out in horror, Mother, you .... She simply did not have the time to think, and forcibly seized Xiong Qi Huas hand, unexpectedly she found that her hand was very weak and feeble. The knife in the hands of Xiong Qi Hua, fell to the ground with a ding. Looking very dispirited she immediately fell to the ground, and she kept murmuring, Luo Fei, I was unfair to your father, I was unfair to you, I did not even have the courage tomit suicide, I ... Why are you like this? Didnt we just meet, so .... Ji Luo Fei also muttered, she really could not figure out why would her mother do such a thing after they finally met after all these years. Although Xiong Qi Hua seemed to be exining to Ji Luo Fei, it was more like she was just talking to herself as she murmured, On that day I had ventured a bit far from my residence, but I really did not expect that I would soon run into a ss 3 Monstrous Beast. I ended up being attacked by the Monstrous Beast, and was seriously injured, I could not even try to escape it, when suddenly someone saved me. I did not think that there were people in the Daan Forest, and became very happy in my heart. As long as I could meet someone, it was likely that I would be able to leave the Daan Forest. But because I was injured, plus because the Monstrous Beast also emitted some kind of poisonous gas, I fainted. Ji Luo Fei had long forgotten that her mother was pregnant and nervously asked, What happened then? Later, that man was able to find my residence, and helped me return, and even helped me heal. Xing Qi Hua said mournfully. Ji Luo Fei did not seem to hear the tone in which her mother spoke, and spoke with a grateful voice, It is all thanks to that person, I have to thank him when I meet him. But Xiong Qi Hua still continued on in a mournful tone, If I had one more chance, I would have rather faced the Monstrous Beast, rather than being rescued by him. Although that man saved me, but he was affected by the poisonous gas emitted by the Monstrous Beast, moreover he had evidently taken the full brunt of the poisonous gas. When he finally healed me, he could not hold himself anymore, and forced himself on me.... Ji Luo Fei now finally understood what had happened, although her benefactor had saved her mother, but because of the influence from the poison from the Monstrous Beast he ended up raping her. Because he was under the influence of poison, and although he healed her mother, but because of the strong influence from the poison, he finally sumbed and ended up raping her mother. Should she hate him, or should she thank him? Xiong Qi Hua stared at the nk look on her daughters face, and she knew that her mans words were right. Zhu Hong Wen thought that although Ning Xiao Cheng and Ji Luo Fei have lived together for so long, he believed that Ji Luo Fei had still not lost her virginity, he had convinced her that Ning Xiao Cheng definitely knew about the matters pertaining to the rtionship between a man and a woman and was also good at concealment and deceit. For him to have a rtionship with her daughter, he would certainly have a good reason for doing so. After I woke up, even if I wanted to resist, the wood had already turned into a boat, and even if I wanted to deny it, the facts cannot be changed. But at this time, while we were still in the Daan Forest, my steward was finally able to find me after his painstaking efforts because of my voice. After seriously injuring the man, although my steward lost, he managed to escape. But my pitiful body which was already ravaged by that person, was seen clearly by my steward, I .... Xiong Qi Hua seemed as if she could not bear the sadness in her heart, and once again began to cry. Ji Luo Fei also felt like crying and hugged her mother, and really felt an intolerable grief towards the sad fate of her mother. After the two people cried bitterly for a long time, Ji Luo Fei finally asked in a sobbing voice, Mother, do you know who that person was? Xiong Qi Hua wiped her swollen eyes, and said while sobbing, It seems that he is called Ning Xiao Cheng.... WHAT? When Ji Luo Fei heard the name Ning Xiao Cheng, she immediately started to heave, she also immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood. Chapter 0104 – You Must Believe Chapter 0104 C You Must Believe When Ji Luo Fei heard about what her own mother had gone through, her mind was already very unstable, but when she suddenly heard that the culprit was Ning Cheng, the person closest to her in her heart and mind, she ended up receiving a massive shock that almost copsed her mind, it was equivalent to being sneak attacked during an intense battle, and she, who was already filled with grief, finally reached the critical point, and found it totally uneptable. When she saw her daughter coughing up blood, Xiong Qi Hua waspletely shocked, and really regretted that she spoke those words. Although she and Zhu Hong Wen had calcted everything, they did not take into consideration how Luo Fei would react to this kind of news. In their opinion, when Luo Fei heard this kind of news, other that anger and rage, they did not expect for her to show any other emotions towards Ning Cheng. But Xiong Qi Hua had never thought that when her daughter heard this kind of news, she would immediately cough up blood, and even the Qi in her body became chaotic to the point of bursting. Luo Fei, whats wrong with you ....... Xiong Qi Hua quickly held her daughter as she fell, and asked in a very panicked tone. Ji Luo Fei did not reply to her mothers words, and after a long time, she murmured to herself, I dont believe it, Ning Cheng is definitely not such a person....... Whether you believe it or not is a different matter, you should not harm your own foundation. Xiong Qi Hua was really frightened, if her daughters cultivation foundation was injured, then how could she take her back home? Mother, did you know that I know Ning Cheng? Ji Luo Fei suddenly felt that something was definitely not right. Xiong Qi Hua immediately felt a kind of fear from her daughters eyes, and inadvertently made a ring mistake as she spoke, and stupidly said, Who is Ning Cheng? Ning Cheng is Ning Xiao Cheng, he had just passed through the Daan Forest, he is my, is my ...... Ji Luo Fei was unable to speak out her rtionship with Ning Cheng. Xiong Qi Hua felt a heavy guilt in her heart, and lowered her head, and remained silent, she did not know how she should exin this to Luo Fei. In fact, in her heart, that Ning Xiao Cheng was quite a good person, and was more than worthy of her daughter. But there was no turning back at this point, since she had already got stuck in such a situation, she knew that she could definitely not go back on her words, otherwise the rtionship between her and her daughter would forever remain irreparable. She knew that she could not bear to give up on her daughter, nor can she bear to give up on her man. She even came up with this idea to let Luo Fei and Zhu Hong Wen talk to each other to make her understand. But immediately abandoned the idea, if she really dared to bring this up, she knew that then her daughter would forever denounce her as her mother. But because of the words spoken by her just now, how could she even say that the unborn child in her was from Zhu Hong Wen rather than him. Ji Luo Fei slowly calmed herself, although she was feeling extreme grief because of this, but she started to quell her feelings. Seeing her mother standing in silence with her head lowered, she thought that her mother had definitely let her father down, and moreover let herself down. As for the rtionship between her and Ning Cheng, she knew that her mother should have definitely known about it. Mother, lets go. Ji Luo Fei forcibly repressed her grief in the deepest parts of her heart, and said with a calm tone as she supported Xiong Qi Hua. Go? Where are we going? Where can I even go like this? Xiong Qi Hua felt increasingly guilty in her heart, she had also felt that she had made a huge mistake before, otherwise she knew that her daughter would not behave in such a way. Seeing the wandering eyes of her mother, Ji Luo Fei felt really hurt in her heart, even now she believed that her mother would definitely not lie to her. But her heart could not generate even half a shred of hatred towards Ning Cheng, it was a type of feeling that she couldnt express clearly. Although Ning Cheng had raped her mother, but it was under the influence of the poison, not to mention the grace of saving her mothers life. Ji Luo Fei could not grasp the meaning under the words spoken by Xiong Qi Hua, and didnt even ask about the steward Hong Wen who had apanied Xiong Qi Hua, and simply said to Xiong Qi Hua, Mother, let us just go to a distant city to live in seclusion, then, then...... Ji Luo Fei really did not have the courage to let Xiong Qi Hua give birth to her younger sister or brother like this. Xiong Qi Hua secretly sighed in her heart, it seems that her daughter was not experienced in human affairs, and thus could not understand such affairs. She could only slowly guide her towards mentioning her real step father, fortunately her daughter had finally agreed to leave with her together. It would be better if they did not meet that guy called Ning Cheng. Luo Fei, the moment I found you, the wish in my heart had already beenpleted. I just want to take this child out, and then we could go and seclude ourselves. Xiong Qi Hua said, sighing in relief. Dont.... Ji Luo Fei first reaction was to strongly oppose it. Xiong Qi Hua murmured, But if we really have him/her, even if we went anywhere, we will only be ridiculed...... Mother, we have each other, why are you being afraid of beingughed at? I.... Ji Luo Fei just finished speaking those words, when she felt a sense of unease. She had a feeling, that if she left Ning Cheng, then there really would be no other chance for her and Ning Cheng to meet again. But not only did she not want to doubt the words spoken by her own biological mother, she also did not want to doubt Ning Cheng. Xiong Qi Hua did not expect that Ji Luo Fei would say such words, on the contrary she felt the anxiety in her daughters eyes, and could feel that she really did not want to leave him. ...... After Ning Cheng arrived in Mo Ze Citypletely exhausted, he immediately came to the inn. Although his harvest during these two days was not small, not only did he obtain a treasure, he also was able to advance to the Peak Stage of True Condensation 2nd Level, but he would still require a few days to consolidate and stabilize his cultivation level. When Ning Cheng lifted the Restrictions that he ced on his room and entered inside, he discovered that Ji Luo Fei had already left. Ning Chengs first reaction was to immediately go out and look for Ji Luo Fei, he had almost taken a few steps towards Ji Luo Feis closed door, when he saw their marriage certificates. There was no need to pick it up, Ning Cheng knew that it was definitely his and Ji Luo Feis marriage certificate, it was initially being kept and preserved with Ji Luo Fei. Before he had always thought that this marriage certificate was already burnt up, and had never thought that Ji Luo Fei would keep it with her safe and sound. As Ning Cheng picked up this marriage certificate, he suddenly felt bitter in his heart. Why did every girl in his life said their goodbyes in such a way? Ji Luo Fei leaving behind her marriage certificate, didnt it expressively mean that she did not want to have any connection with him again. As Ning Cheng held the marriage certificate in his hands, an indescribable loneliness rose in his heart. From the deepest part of his heart, he was still very concerned about Ji Luo Fei. Regardless of whether he could return back to Earth or not, Ji Luo Fei was definitely one of the most important people in his life. Ning Cheng took out a Jade Box from his Storage Bag, and took out a dark yellow stone from the Jade Box, and stared at it in a daze. This Qi Gathering Stone was the first thing that he received from someone when he came to the Yi Xing Maind, this was his first Qi Gathering Stone. This was obtained by Ji Luo Fei by risking her life, as shepeted for it in the Fighting Pot to get it. Ji Luo Fei was not willing to use it for herself, her main goal was to help him speed up his cultivation. Although he had not used this Qi Gathering Stone, he had always kept it by his side, today when Ji Luo Fei left behind the two halves of the marriage certificate here, Ning Chengs heart waspletely filled with grief, he once again looked at the Qi Gathering Stone that he received from Ji Luo Fei, and remained silent. After experiencing the things with Tian Mu Wan, Ning Cheng had never thought about the matters between men and women, nor was he willing to think about it. If not for the coincidence of him being betrothed to Ji Luo Fei, he would have not evene in contact with Ji Luo Fei. Today Ji Luo Fei left in the same way as Tian Mu Wan, without any reason, without any exnation, even without hesitating for even half a moment. Grasping the Qi Gathering Stone in his hands, shbacks of Ji Luo Fei started to appear in his heart and mind, her giving him the Qi Gathering Stone, Ji Luo Fei rushing in to save him during the attack from that giant pitch ck withered palm in the Thunder Fall Desert, but what kept repeating in his head was the time when Ji Luo Fei had carried him on her back, while she took him to the small ck stone house. At that moment he had felt an unprecedented tranquillity, he did not even feel the shock of suddenly arriving in a strange world. Because Tian Mu Wan had ruthlessly pushed him away without even giving him even the slightest of an exnation, he had ended up absentmindedly walking onto a highway bridge, and was hit by the descending beam of yellow light. In his most lonely, and most helpless time, it was Ji Luo Fei who had picked him back up, and brought him back to the small ck stone house. The Restriction that he ced on the door suddenly opened, and Ning Cheng immediately woke up from his endless contemtion, he had just looked up when a he saw a familiar figure rush towards him, and flung herself into his arms. Luo Fei.... Ning Cheng hurriedly held Ji Luo Fei tightly in his bosom, as an indescribable joy filled his heart. Till before this moment, he had always thought of his rtionship with Ji Luo Fei was just that of between friends, but when Ji Luo Fei left behind her marriage certificate and left, he knew that his heart was already filled with Ji Luo Feis shadow. Only after losing her once, did hee to know just how precious was she to him. Ning Cheng.... Ji Luo Fei cried out aloud, at this time she had already forgotten about the affair between her mother and Ning Cheng and had already wiped the te clean. When she had followed her mother out of the Mo Ze City, she finally met that steward Zhu Hong Wen, and the uneasy feeling in her heart strengthened quite a bit. In the depths of her heart, she had a strong desire, that even if she had to walk away, she had to see Ning Cheng and rify this matter. Without hearing Ning Chengs words, she knew that she could not settle her heart. After she came out from the desert along with Ning Cheng, she had sworn to herself that whatever happened she must believe in Ning Cheng. Ever since then, she had regarded Ning Cheng as her only family, even her paternal aunt Ji Yao He could not bepared to Ning Chengs ce in her heart. But the things that her mother had brought when she came, made it difficult to ept the fact that she could no longer be together with Ning Cheng. After she came out of Mo Ze City, her desire to be with Ning Cheng only grew stronger. From the deepest parts of her heart, she had already decided to side with Ning Cheng no matter what happened, it was not that she did not want to leave Mo Ze City, but because she could not bear to be away from Ning Cheng even for a single bit. Her paternal aunt was her only other close rtive, initially when her paternal aunt had carried her away, she thought that she could no longer see Ning Cheng. But her mother was even more closer to her heart than her paternal aunt, but then when she saw her mother, deep down she always had a feeling, that Ning Cheng was the closest to her out of all. ...... Mother, I must go meet with Ning Cheng, I cannot live without him. Aftering out of Mo Ze City. Ji Luo Fei finally could not repress the desire in her heart and spoke out, she must see Ning Cheng whatever the cost. She did not know since when this started, but she knew that she could not bear to not be able to see Ning Cheng for even a single day. After hearing what her daughter said, she could only helplessly watch her daughter go back to Mo Ze City, Xiong Qi Hua rubbed her tear streaked eyes, and secretly sighed in her heart. She knew that, at this moment, she had finally lost her daughter. Do you want me to go persuade her toe back? Zhu Hong Wen asked as he also looked at Ji Luo Fei as she walked back to Mo Ze City. Xiong Qi Hua shook her head and said, No, I feel that Ji Luo Feis choice is right, lets go. I do not deserve to be her mother, I .... Xiong Qi Hua then quietly turned her back to Mo Ze City, and started walking away, her stature looking very bleak and deste. Chapter 0105 – The First Time Chapter 0105 C The First Time Ji Luo Fei wanted to calmly ask about many things to Ning Cheng once she met him. But at this moment, when she saw Ning Cheng, she couldnt even remember what she wanted to say in the beginning. But then she saw the marriage certificate in Ning Chengs hand, and moreover also saw him staring at a Qi Gathering Stone in the other hand with a deste look on his face, she hadpletely forgotten what she wanted to ask Ning Cheng when she came back. What happened? Did you just wanted to hand me the marriage certificate, and leave me alone again? Ning Cheng gently stroked Ji Luo Feis hair, as his heart was filled with chaotic thoughts. When he had juste to this world, and came to know that he was not the same person who Ji Luo Fei knew, he himself had taken the initiative to ask her to dissolve this marriage. But now, his cultivation was far higher than that of Ji Luo Fei. Moreover, now he also started to develop feelings towards Ji Luo Fei, he was a person who really cherished the people close to him. Because of this, he really did not understand why Ji Luo Fei would leave him. Simrly, when he saw Ji Luo Feie back again, he immediately felt a lot happier. Ji Luo Fei could feel the big and warm chest of Ning Cheng, as she suddenly reached out and touched the Qi Gathering Stone in Ning Chengs hands, and whispered, You still kept this with you? Yes, I will always keep it. Ning Cheng could feel that Ji Luo Feis chaotic mood was finally calming down, he knew that something must have happened to Ji Luo Fei. I.... Ji Luo Fei did not know how to bring up that matter, she had nned to ask Ning Cheng, and even tell Ning Cheng, the fact was he already had a child, and then quickly leave. However, the moment she saw Ning Cheng, she knew that she could not separate from him. Since she could not leave him, she did not dare to bring up that matter. She still believed that her mother would not lie to her, but she waspletely unable to ept that fact. Even thinking about it made her feel terrible. Once again feeling that Ji Luo Fei was starting to feel panicked, Ning Cheng gently patted Ji Luo Feis back and suddenly asked, Did someonee to look for you? How did you know? Ji Luo Fei immediately asked Ning Cheng exposing the truth. Ning Cheng spoke with a slight contempt in his voice, Was it your paternal aunt who came to visit you? Did shee here to force you to marry into the Shui n? Ji Luo Fei shook her head, No, I would rather believe in you, rather than believing in my paternal aunt. In my heart, you are much more dependable that my paternal aunt. Just follow me...... Ji Luo Fei in her heart waspletely dependent on Ning Cheng, and his words had already stuck to the deepest corners of her heart. But Ning Chengs thoughts were much more prudent and meticulous than Ji Luo Feis, so when Ji Luo Fei said that she believed in him, Ning Cheng could immediately understand that the one who came looking for her was surely Xiong Qi Hua. Only Ji Luo Feis mother could be much closer to her heart than her paternal aunt, only her mother could make Ji Luo Fei leave him. Moreover, he had also seen just what kind of woman Ji Luo Feis mother was, and even had an unpleasant experience because of it. Did your mothere to see you? Ning Cheng immediately asked. Ji Luo Feis entire body trembled, she quickly pushed Ning Cheng aside, and with her facepletely pale she nodded and said, Yes, it was my mother who hade to see me, she said that she had met you in the Daan Forest.... Thats right, I really did meet your mother back in the Daan Forest, moreover I also.... Ning Cheng wanted to tell Ji Luo Fei about the matter regarding Zhu Hong Wen and Xiong Qi Hua, but then thought that the mental blow Ji Luo Fei would receive would definitely not be a small one, as a result chose not to speak about it. Ning Cheng, youre my mothers....... how do you know her? Ji Luo Fei waspletely pale, and was trembling all over as she secretly looked at Ning Cheng. She had been looking forward to Ning Cheng saying that it was false, and that he really did not force himself on her mother. Moreover, from the deepest parts of her consciousness, she still believed that her mother would not lie to her. Ning Cheng did not know what Xiong Qi Hua had said to Ji Luo Fei, as he sighed and said, Luo Fei, I only saw your mother one time, but I knew that she was definitely your mother Xiong Qi Hua. Ji Luo Fei bursts into tears, since you knew that she was my mother, why did you force yourself on her? But she could not question Ning Cheng, she did not know what she should do now. For Ji Luo Fei, the memory of her mother was deeply rooted into her, but the feeling that she was feeling right now waspletely different. At this time Ji Luo Fei did not even think of what Ning Cheng said, she only wanted to go to a ce where no one lived and note out anymore. But thinking about the rtions between them she just couldnt speak out, she suddenly felt that she had bepletely redundant. Ning Cheng looked at Ji Luo Fei who had suddenly burst into tears, he really did not know how he shouldfort her, and only said, Although I knew that Xiong Qi Hua is your mother, but when I look at you face, all I can think about is that you have been manipted by her. If your mother said that I somehow injured her, then I do not have any alternative. The reason I did not tell you that I had met your mother, was not because of guilt, and even more so not because I hurt her. Ning Cheng guessed that Xiong Qi Hua had quite possibly added some inmmatory details when she spoke to Ji Luo Fei, by saying that he had severely injured her, and that it would also be best for her to leave him. Even if Ning Cheng thought about it innumerable times, he would never have thought about the story created by Zhu Hong Wen. If Ji Luo Fei really had not found it difficult to let go of Ning Cheng, then Zhu Hong Wens n would have undoubtedly seeded. Did you really not force yourself on my mother? After you saved my mother, because of the poison, isnt that child not yours? Ji Luo Feis voice was also trembling uncontrobly, as she threw out several questions. Even before Ning Cheng answered, she thought that Ning Cheng would definitely not deceive her. Wait wait...... Ning Cheng quickly stopped Ji Luo Fei from asking any more questions and said, When did I save your mother? I was just passing by Daan Forest when I found your mother living peacefully in the Daan Forest. I wasnt even poisoned, even the toxic poison from the poisonous sand beasts dont affect me, so how can I even be affected bymon poisons? And what are you talking about children? What the hell is going on? After asking those questions, Ning Cheng could already guess, that perhaps Xiong Qi Hua was pregnant, and moreover told Ji Luo Fei that it was his child. If that really was the case, then she really did not deserve to be a mother. Ji Luo Fei may be simple minded but she was definitely not a fool, so when she heard Ning Chengs words, she immediately knew that what her mother had spoken to her was likely to be a lie. Thinking back to how she had met her mother, how could it be a coincidence that she could find the inn where her room was. Even when she saw that her mother and that Zhu Hong Wen were together, they did not look very sad of her own father passing away, and as a result shepletely understood now what was going on. I am sorry, I almost left you. Ji Luo Fei could not restrain herself, and once again flung herself into Ning Chengs arms. For her, she would rather believe that Ning Cheng was telling the truth, and her mother had deceived her. When you met my mother in the Daan Forest, did you also meet Zhu Hong Wen? As Ji Luo Fei spoke of such matters, it felt like there were countless knives stabbing in her heart again and again. Now that she understood the truth, she finally realized the many contradictions in her mothers words. Ning Cheng gently stroked Ji Luo Feis head, he knew that Ji Luo Fei now understood what had happened. Since Ji Luo Fei now understood this kind of thing, so there was no need for him to continue to speak, Luo Fei, in my hometown there is an old saying, the child speaks for the parent, not the other way round. I wont go into the details of this matter, but you have to remember to believe me, I really am sorry that I did not do anything for you and your parents. I believe you. Ji Luo Fei, at this moment, she hadpletely calmed down, other than Ning Cheng, her paternal aunt had wanted to marry her off to the Shui n, and her mother who she had just met, unexpectedly ended up deceiving her for an outsider. At this time in her heart, Ning Cheng was fully worth believing in. Fortunately, at that time she still believed in Ning Cheng from the depths of her heart, otherwise she would have definitely note back again. Your hometown? Ji Luo Fei was now free from other matters, and her thinking had also immediately cleared up. Ning Cheng knew that he had to say something, he was a bit embarrassed as he scratched his head and said, This thing is a long story, I will exin it to you slowlyter. En, Ning Cheng, in the future when your cultivation is high enough, can you take me to the Daan Forest to pay my respects to my father, and then we, we .... Ji Luo Fei suddenly thought of her own face, and was unable to speak about getting married. Ning Cheng knew what Ji Luo Fei meant, he himself wanted his own cultivation to be high enough, so that he could then look for a way back to Earth. If at that time he married, he could at least let his younger sister attend it, it would definitely be much better. Moreover, he still had a one-track mind, and that was to restore Ji Luo Feis appearance. Feeling that arms of Ji Luo Fei around him getting softer and more tender, Ning Cheng could not bear it any longer and lowered his head and finally kissed Ji Luo Fei on her lips. The instant that she felt Ning Chengs lips touching hers, Ji Luo Feis mind immediately went nk. She subconsciously tightened her grip on Ning Cheng as she hugged him even more fiercely, as she clumsily kissed him back. To them, this was their first time. Chapter 0106 – Opening in advance Chapter 0106 C Opening in advance After this incident, the veil between Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Feipletely crumbled. If one could say that Ning Cheng before only had a sliver of a shadow of Ji Luo Fei in his heart, so when Ji Luo Fei returned without hesitation, Ji Luo Feis shadow was nowpletely and deeply imprinted in Ning Chengs heart. After experiencing the things with him and Tian Mu Wan, this was the first time that Ning Cheng let another woman enter the deepest parts of his heart. With such a delightful and joyous mood, Ning Cheng even advanced from the True Condensation 2nd Level and broke through to the Early Stage of True Condensation 3rd Level. He was just consolidating his cultivation, and even did not have the time to celebrate with Ji Luo Fei, when Liu Xian from the God Wind Academy came over to seek him out. At this time there were still seven days left out of the 10 days for the start of the second round. Deacon Liu, isnt there still a few days left for the start of the second round? Ning Cheng opened the Restrictions that he ced on the door and saw that Liu Xian had personallye, and immediately asked, feeling a bit puzzled. Liu Xian spoke with some anxiety, Ning Xiao Cheng, the Angry Axe Valley that was to be opened in 2 years, because of some kind of ident, something that even we do not know what happened, a few days ago we found that the Magic Mist Array Formation around it suddenly disappeared. Because the mist outside the Angry Axe Valley had cleared up, it represents that we have only a maximum of one month, before the Angry Axe Valley would be fully open officially. Ning Cheng frowned, he was nning to use these 2 years to get one of the quota to enter the Angry Axe Valley, now it seems that there would be no hope for that. He was just a nobody; he absolutely could not go the Angry Axe Valley by himself. However even if the Angry Axe Valley was to open in advance, why would Liu Xiane personally to tell this to him? Ning Cheng immediately remembered, that a few days ago he and that old woman had gone into the Forbidden Cold River to search for some things, then did that mean that there was some sort of connection between the white haired old woman finding the Immortals Mansion and the early opening of the Angry Axe Valley? ording to what the old woman had said to him, the Immortal Mansion inside the Forbidden Cold River had appeared together with the Angry Axe Valley. Deacon Liu, how would the Angry Axe Valley opening in advance affect the God Wind Academy? Ning Cheng just directly asked what he did not understand. Liu Xian just sighed and said, It not only affects us, but affects all of us in a big way. Our God Wind Academy only recently found some good seedlings, if we were able topete against the majority for the position of the 6 Star Academy, there would at least be a glimmer of hope for us. Now that the Angry Axe Valley suddenly opened in advance, the rest of the 5 Star Academies of the Hua Continent would also have to follow that persons request, and as a result even the tournament would also be taking ce at a much earlier date. However, if we start now, my God Wind Academy absolutely would not have any qualifications to participate in it. After a pause, Liu Xian said to Ning Cheng in an extremely sincere manner, Ning Xiao Cheng, I am going to tell you the truth now. The God Wind Academy is already not worthy of its name, it is even inferior to some of the 4 Star Academies, moreover my God Wind Academy only has a single Profound Core Cultivator, and he is our Dean Zhang. Moreover, he was also seriously injured a few years ago, and still has note out from his closed door training. Deacon Liu, when I came here I was worried about a woman from the Falling Star Academy, and as a result had to change my name to Ning Xiao Cheng. But now I dont fear her, so Deacon Liu can go ahead and call me by my real name, Ning Cheng. ording to what Deacon Liu said, is the power of the God Wind Academy not even on the same level as that of the Shui n in the Mo Ze City? Ning Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. The reason why he had joined the God Wind Academy, was to find a backer of sorts, if even the God Wind Academy was inferior to the Shui n, just what sort of backing could he expect from it? As for the strength of the Shui n, Ji Luo Fei had once mentioned it to him that the Shui n had a Profound Core Cultivator among their ranks, which meant that its strength was not weaker than the existence of the 5 Star Academies. On the surface, my God Wind Academy is more formidable than the Shui n, but in true strength, my God Wind Academy is truly inferior to the Shui n. However, my God Wind Academy has been surviving for thousands of years, so we are definitely not afraid of a mere Shui n. Is it possible that you have offended the Shui n in some way? Liu Xian had been alive for many years, so when heard the casual words of Ning Cheng, he could at least pick up one or two things. Ning Cheng did not hide anything, and spoke about the matter regarding Ji Luo Fei. Hearing those words, Liu Xian immediately said, So it turns out that you were worried about this kind of trivial thing, the Shui n would definitely not offend my God Wind Academy for this kind of thing, but thats a different matter, what I came to say here was about the major matters regarding the tournament of the 5 Star Academies. Ning Cheng had also had thought of this, the Shui n was after all, one of the seven great ns of the Hua Continent, and would not engage against them regarding Luo Fei. Because it was truly a small matter for them, they would definitely not offend the God Wind Academy because of this. After all Luo Fei had not agreed to any of the requests from the Shui n, moreover she had not even seen a single person from the Shui n. Deacon Liu, please speak freely, I will definitely do my utmost in the uing second round. After Ning Cheng finally felt a bit relieved in his heart, he decided to fully help the God Wind Academy with the best of his abilities. After he finished speaking, Ning Cheng felt that there was something wrong, and added another sentence, Deacon Liu, for the Angry Axe Valley to open ahead of time, wouldnt it also advance the schedule of the Tournament for the 5 Star Academies. Moreover, isnt it because of the Tournament between the 5 Star Academies, would the outstanding disciples have the opportunity to enter the Angry Axe Valley? Liu Xian became upset, and said, This is the thing, if after two years, even if we did not obtain the first ce in the tournament, but we would at least not end up being at the very bottom. But because of this tournament starting early, thepetitiveness in my God Wind Academy has already dropped a lot. The Angry Axe Valley only has a quota for 20 people from across all the Lower ss Continents, out of which the 6 Star Academy, which would be elected from amongst us would have 5 quotas for itself, the second ce would have 3 quotas, for the third and the fourth ce, respectively, they will have 2 quotas, and the fifth ce will only have a single spot. The remaining ces will be separately given to the other major Sects and ns and would be divided separately among them. Deacon Liu, the tournament has not yet started, you do not have to worry about it, maybe we still might have a chance. Ning Cheng tried tofort him. Liu Xian nodded before solemnly speaking, The second round of selection for the 5 Star Academies has been cancelled, originally the top 100 of the second round, would be directly allowed to join the 5 Star Academies. Three days after the tournament between the 5 Star Academy, the 6 Star Academy would be elected from amongst us on the spot, then at the same time they will also select the 20 people who would be qualified to enter the Angry Axe Valley. The Angry Axe Valley only opens just once after many years, so the amount of resources and treasures inside are simply unimaginable, even cultivators from the Intermediate ss and Advance ss Continents cannot contain themselves. But in the Lower ss Continents, the number of people allowed to enter the Angry Axe Valley are more, thus the potential for future development will be greater. Deacon Liu, why dont you and I talk about the rules of the tournament between the 5 Star Academies, as well as how to participate? Now that Ning Cheng knew that he also had a slight chance to enter the Angry Axe Valley, he immediately became interested in it. He did not believe that if he helped the God Wind Academy in the tournament, the God Wind Academy would not give him one of the quota. Liu Xian had originallye here to request Ning Chengs help, now that Ning Cheng has himself taken the initiative to offer his help, he immediately began exining in detail, A senior who came here from the Jia Continent believes that it would be better if we could speed up the tournament between the five 5 Star Academies, ording to him the quicker it could bepleted, the better it would be, and as a result it would also be best to choose a 6 Star Academy in a few days. Therefore, the tournament is currently divided into two parts, the first part is the assessment of the facilities of the Academy, this assessment had already been done...... Ning Cheng interrupted Liu Xians words and said, Deacon Liu, in the assessment of the facilities of the Academy, how much did our God Wind Academy score? Liu Xian somewhat awkwardly replied, Out of a total score of 100 points, our God Wind Academy only scored 41 points. The highest is the Falling Star Academy, which obtained 75 points, next is the Clear Sky Academy with 60 points, then the Luo Hou Academy with 55 points and the Thunder Academy with 53 points. The tournament had not yet begun, but the God Wind Academy had already obtained the first ce from the bottom, Ning Cheng grimaced and asked, This score is truly not high,pared to the Falling Star Academy, there is more than a 30-point difference between us. As for the rest of the tournament, how do wepare to others? Liu Xian continued to reply, The second part of the tournament is again divided into 3 rounds, and each Academy can only choose up to 5 people to participate in them. Once the five people are selected, they will participate in all the three rounds in this second part of the tournament, and no substitution is allowed midway. The first round is the Memory Round, and the topic will be personally chosen by the senior from the Intermediate ss Continent. This test in the first round will take the highest score of each of the participating people separately, we hope that you help our God Wind Academy to get a good score, and bridge the gap between the rest of the Academies. The second round will test ones ability toprehend, and will also be attended by the same five people. Finally, they will select the person with the highest score from each of the 5 Star Academies, and the score obtained by them in the second round, will be added to Academys total score. The third round is a VS battle, the one who wins the most battles, is the one who will score the highest. The specific rules for the third round will be dered personally by those esteemed seniors at the start of the third round. Then wouldnt every single Academy send in their disciples with the highest cultivation for this tournament? Ning Cheng asked as he felt that it was not as simple as it looked. Liu Xian hurriedly answered, I did not exin clearly, of the five people that each Academy chosen for the tournament, they cannot send any people in the Essence Building Realm, and all of the participants should be at most 30 years of age. Ning Cheng nodded and said, As a result, the choosing of disciples would really be tricky. Yes, even though some Academies have a few formidable cultivators, but their memory andprehension skills are not strong. Because of this, it is necessary to select not only the most powerful disciples for the tournament, but also have to choose some disciples with powerful memory andprehension abilities. Liu Xian said with approval. Ning Cheng chuckled and said, It appears that I am the only one in the God Wind Academy that can participate in the Memory Round. Thats right, now I only hope that since you were able to score 100 points before without having seen those things previously, so I definitely think that your memory capabilities are the real deal. Liu Xian said with a wry smile. He had a vague feeling that Ning Cheng was the most powerful person in the God Wind Academybined with his powerful memory, but he also thought that if Ning Cheng did not depend on his memory capabilities in the memory round, then the God Wind Academy would really be in a very perilous situation. If Ning Cheng can once again disy his talents in the tournament of the 5 Star Academies, then the God Wind Academy might have at least a good future ahead of it. Ning Cheng knew, that even if it wasnt the case, he has to showcase his true strength. Fortunately, at this time Ning Cheng did not care much about hiding his strength, from the first time that he wrote that written test, till the point of him joining the God Wind Academy, if not for being forced to use hisst resort, he really would not have to hide his own strength again. After discussing some of the finer details of the tournament with Ning Cheng, Liu Xian finally left Ning Chengs ce of residence. Chapter 0107 – Killing In Anger Chapter 0107: Killing In Anger This day was the day when the Tournament between the 5 Star Academies started. Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei returned from their rooms early in the morning, and were heading towards the Mo Ze Grand za. The Mo Ze City was still as lively as before, although they were out early in the morning, the streets were still filled with peopleing and going. Ning Cheng, Ill go buy some cloths inside. Ji Luo Fei spoke as she pointed towards a nearby clothing store that sold clothes for women. Ning Cheng looked at the womens clothes shop which was filled with womening in and out, and immediately said, OK, you go in, Ill wait for you here. Ji Luo Fei and he have been living for all these days in the rest stop in order to avoid some unnecessary matters, and as a result had note out of the rest stop in a long while. Standing outside, the clothing store and waiting, Ning Cheng started to look around, after he had received the basic knowledge about Alchemy, he always wanted to buy a Pill Furnace, but he had nevere out till now. He wanted to find an Artefact Store around here, if there was, then after he met up with Ji Luo Fei when she came out, they would go there together. Although Ning Cheng did not find an Artefact Store, but he saw a bald man with a cultivation of True Condensation 3rd Level. The reason why he was concerned about this particr cultivator was because felt a reaction from his Spiritual Sense from the Jade Bracelet that that bald cultivator was wearing on his wrist. This Jade Bracelet had a familiar aura to it, when Ning Cheng felt this type of aura, he immediately remembered the Imperial Jade Seal that he had obtained before. This Jade Bracelet and the Imperial Jade Seal had the same exact aura, it would only mean one thing, that both of those things came from the same ce or the same source. Ning Cheng felt his heart move, and he immediately decided to follow him, he was not that reckless as to just go up to the bald cultivator and ask from where did he obtain the Jade Bracelet on his wrist. But he could feel that this bald monk was somewhat strange, which made Ning Cheng feel a bit ufortable. The bald headed cultivator kept on walking, and inquired about some prices from time to time from the roadside stalls. When Ning Cheng finally decided to just go up to him and ask, he suddenly heard a loud burst of sound. Just as Ning Cheng turned his head to see what had happened, he saw Ji Luo Fei being forced into a corner, her veil was not only gone, but even her face had a few bloodstains. Seeing that, anger boiled in Ning Chengs heart, he immediately gave up on going up to the bald cultivator to ask about his bracelet, and immediately rushed to Ji Luo Feis side. When Ning Cheng turned around to rush back towards Ji Luo Fei, the bald headed cultivator unexpectedly turned to look at Ning Cheng, while simultaneously frowning. Then he looked at the Jade Bracelet around his wrist, and the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of a sneer, he immediately turned and headed towards the crowd, and instantly disappeared from view. You ugly bitch, you even turned a blind eye and refused Brother Yu, and even dared to spread around that Brother Yu is not good enough for you, lets see how I, your father, teach such an arrogant bitch...... A 20-21-year-old Qi Gathering 9th Level man with small eyes and thin mouth spoke, as he grabbed at Ji Luo Feis clothes, it was clear that he wanted to tear of Ji Luo Feis clothes. There were many people looking in their direction, but not one of them stepped forward to persuade them, and kept their act of being busy. Some people, even though they pretended to be busy, they did not dare toe near, and were only looking at the scene from a distance. Ning Cheng arrived at the side of that Qi Gathering Cultivator, as he lifted his hand and threw a punch at him. Ka.... A bloody mist sprayed out, as that Qi Gathering 9th Level cultivator with small eyes, who was grabbing Ji Luo Fei, immediately flew out because of being struck by Ning Chengs punch. This Qi Gathering 9th Level man let out a shrill scream, and without waiting for him to react, Ning Cheng once again raised his hands and dished out a few booming ps to that mans face. p p p p..... This Qi Gathering 9th Level man did not even have the time to breath before all of his teeth spilled out, as blood sshed over Ning Cheng. Little Gan.... a few Late Stage Qi Gathering Cultivators, wearing servant cloths, quickly approached the man with small eyes, and immediately pointed at Ning Cheng and eximed, You dare to touch Little Gan, you, you.... Whether it was due not anger or not, but he could not evenplete his sentence or even speak properly. Ning Cheng just kicked back with his foot, and the man wearing servant cloths who had pointed at him immediately flew back. Then he was just disinclined to look at the two fellows, as he stepped forward to support Ji Luo Fei. There was a worried look in Ji Luo Feis eyes as she looked at Ning Cheng and said, Im all right, that person that you beat up a moment ago was the younger cousin of Shui Yu from the Shui n, and is called Shui Feng Gan. When he saw me, he immediately tried to take me away. He kept saying that I tarnished and ndered the image of his cousin Shui Yu, but I refused to go with him, and he immediately started to raise his hands on me. An elder brother, who was next to me, when he saw me getting beaten, had spoken up from the side, but he was killed on the spot by Shui Feng Gan, moreover he was even burned to ash then and there by his Fireball....... Before looking in the direction that Ji Luo Fei pointed, he could see that eyes were red, this person who she did not know at all had tried to help her, but in in the end this person ended up dying for her. Ning Cheng then took note of the heap of burned bones in the ce that Ji Luo Fei pointed, and his heart was immediately filled with Killing Intent. He was from Earth, the concept of hierarchy between mortals and cultivators for him was rtively weak. He turned to look at the person who he had just kicked and found that he was supporting that injured Shui Feng Gan and were leaving, they apparently knew that staying here would not be good for them. Ning Cheng took out a Jade Box, and raised his hands causing the ashes on the ground to fly into the Jade Box, after which he put it away, while simultaneously blocking the path of Shui Feng Gan and said, You want to walk away from here this badly? What do you want? I am a person from the Shui n...... Shui Feng Gans teeth were all pped out by Ning Cheng, his face waspletely bloody, and even spoke in a slurred speech, but the people all around him could still clearly hear what he meant. Are people from the Shui n great or something? Ning Cheng sarcastically spoke. That Qi Gathering Cultivator in the servants clothing said, If you dare touch us, you can forever give up on the hope of leaving Mo Ze City alive. Since I cannot dare to make a move on you...... Ning Cheng once again spoke with disdain. Shui Feng Gan and his servant only had a bit of time to rx, before two Wind Edges spilt them as they heard, Then I can only kill you. Puff Puff.... both of them sprayed out blood, as Shui Feng Gan and his servant could only look at Ning Cheng as the Wind Edges chopped them apart. All the people around them were shocked, no one thought that, there would be a person who would dare to kill a member of the Shui n in the Mo Ze City. Moreover, kill them in such an arrogant manner. After Ning Cheng killed Shui Feng Gan, he knew that he would not be able to stay in this ce for a long time, he must return to the God Wind Academys Stall as soon as possible, only then can he guarantee their safety. Thus after Ning Cheng killed the two people from the Shui n, he immediately took Ji Luo Fei and departed from that ce rapidly. It was not until Ning Cheng went out of their vision, did everyone finally started to talk. Others were aware that the people from the Shui n will definitelye here soon, and as such no one dared to talk about Shui ns people whose bodies were lying in front of them. When I think about it, wasnt the man from a moment ago Ning Xiao Cheng, the one who obtained the first ce in the preliminary round, thats right, he joined the God Wind Academyter, moreover he is also a core disciple of the God Wind Academy. No wonder he did not fear the Shui n, he turned out to be one of the core disciples of the God Wind Academy. Some voices from the crowd of onlookers emerged, as they recognized Ning Cheng. Even if he was the core disciple of the God Wind Academy, he has killed the people from the Shui n, they will not just sit by and do nothing. Someone from the crowd spoke. Although there were many discussions, but no one dared to speak that the thing that the people from the Shui n did was wrong. ...... Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei quickly arrived at the Mo Ze Grand za, but this time the number of people gathered here were countless times more that the day when the preliminary round for the disciple selection was held. Although today was no longer the day that the 5 Star Academy picked their disciples through the second round, but rather today was actually a much more important day as it marked the start of the Tournament between the five 5 Star Academies. The Hua Continent was expected to elect one of them as the 6 Star Academy, which would thenmand over the entire Lower ss Continents, moreover because the Angry Axe Valley was opening in advance, so the Tournament of the 5 Star Academies was also taking ce much earlier than scheduled. Most people were now aware, that the main reason why the Tournament between the 5 Star Academies was taking ce this early, was to elect the 6 Star Academy as early as possible. Since the Angry Axe Valley was opening ahead of time, they also had to start selecting their students to fill up the quota in advance. As the quota for the 6 Star Academy was thergest, so the resources that they would be able to obtain would surely be the most. Once a 6 Star Academy was elected, then along with the resources they would obtain from the Angry Axe Valley, this 6 Star Academy would slowly be able to rise above the remaining few 5 Star Academy, and then finally tower over the entire Lower ss Continents. After they arrived at the Mo Ze Grand za, Ji Luo Fei was still very much worried that she would no longer be able to stay together with Ning Cheng for a long time, as she knew how powerful the Shui n was. Now that Ning Cheng had gone and killed those people from the Shui n, she was worried that the Shui n would resort to every means at their disposal to take revenge on Ning Cheng. Luo Fei, do not worry. The Shui n will not entangle with the God Wind Academy just for the sake of a mere Qi Gathering Cultivator. Didnt Liu Xian also say, to not to be afraid of the Shui n, why fear the hand to fear the foot? Even if the God Wind Academy is not ranked among the top, we are still the disciples of the God Wind Academy, so the God Wind Academy would definitely would not just sit by and watch. As long as we stay close to them, once the Tournament of the 5 Star Academies ispleted, we can immediately go to the God Wind Academy, and also would not have to worry about the retaliation from the Shui n. The Shui n may be good, but is it capable enough to invite the scorn of the God Wind Academy? Not to mention that Ning Cheng knew that he would certainly be fine even if he killed Shui Feng Gan, but since the Mo Ze City is currently hosting the Tournament, the Shui n would definitely not make a move at this time and cause trouble for the God Wind Academy. If the Shui n really causes trouble, then Ning Cheng would just threaten to give up on the match. He was sure that the people from the Intermediate ss Continent that hade to host the event here, would definitely not let this happen, and in case such a thing really happened, the Shui n would definitely be removed from Mo Ze City immediately. Moreover, even if Ning Cheng did know beforehand that the guy he had killed was from the Shui n, he would still not hesitate to kill that guy, and then together with Ji Luo Fei flee to the Thunder Fall Desert. Someone tried to bully Ji Luo Fei in front of him, just how could he endure this? The reason why he did not go to the Shui n to settle the ounts beforehand, was because his strength was not enough. If he had enough strength, then after he had killed Shui Feng Gan, he would immediately seek out the Shui n and demandpensation. When he was growing up with his younger sister Ning Rou Lan, they were also bullied a lot during that time. However, Ning Cheng would always fight back very hard every time it happened, he was very clear on the truth, if he never spoke up when he was bullied the first time, the second time he would definitely be bullied even more severely. That was why he was not always the person who ended up crying, anybody who dared to bully him or his younger sister, he wouldpletely go all out and fought hard. Although Ji Luo Fei was worried, but she was never worried about herself, but rather she was worried about Ning Cheng. Being together with Ning Cheng, she felt immense joy from the deepest parts of heart and soul, she simply did not want any idents to happen to Ning Cheng. If she was not worried about him, she would definitely not have killed that Xian Yuan Kui in Cang Le City to vent Ning Chengs anger. Chapter 0108 – The First Round Of The Tournament Chapter 0108 C The First Round Of The Tournament As Ning Cheng brought Ji Luo Fei to the God Wind Academys Stall, Liu Xian hastily came out to greet them. As an elder with the cultivation of Profound Congealing Realm, even if Ning Cheng was a core disciple of the God Wind Academy, Liu Xians attitude towards Ning Cheng was extremely polite. But what made Ning Cheng feel a bit strange, was that he unexpectedly did not seen Zhu Mu Er. Just when Ning Cheng was going to ask about Zhu Mu Er, a suddenly clear and crisp voice sounded out next to him, Deacon Liu, I want to take part in the tournament of the 5 Star Academies on behalf of the God Wind Academy. Ning Cheng immediately turned around and saw that the speaker was a woman with the cultivation of True Condensation 6th Level, and had a slightly dark skin tone. However, she was really pretty, and was even prettier than Zhu Mu Er. When Liu Xian looked at that woman cultivator, he spoke with a wry smile, Meng Jing Xiu, for the first round we have to let Ning Cheng participate to score points.... Hearing the name Meng Jing Xiu, Ning Cheng immediately knew who the opposite party was, this Meng Jing Xiu was the same person who was ranked 7th in the preliminary round, before when he was still not a member of the God Wind Academy, she was the person who scored the highest points among the people from the God Wind Academy. Deacon Liu, this tournament is not the same as thepetition between the Spiritual Roots. Although my Spiritual Root is somewhat of a lesser quality, but in the first round of written exam, I would not necessarily lose out to him. At least, my 71 points came from my own memory, moreover I also had not read any basics about Talismans before. As Meng Jing Xiu spoke till here, she also specifically looked at Ning Cheng, and then once again continued, Even if I was not able to score good points in the first round, I can also get a good result in the 2nd and the 3rd rounds. Whether if it wasprehension or battle, I am confident that I will not be worse than anyone else. Deacon Liu, you are a senior of the Profound Congealing Realm, you should know that my True Essence is much stronger than that of other cultivators at the True Condensation 6th Level. Ning Cheng did not bother to interfere at all, moreover he also was very impressed by the way this Meng Jing Xiu managed things, this woman must have also joined the God Wind Academy with the same aim as him. The strength of the God Wind Academy was the worst among the 5 Star Academy, if he had not joined, then this Meng Jing Xiu would definitely be the representative of the God Wind Academy in the Tournament of the 5 Star Academies. But now that he had joined, Meng Jing Xius position was given to him and she ended up being pushed out of her ce. For a person like Meng Jing Xiu to join the God Wind Academy to attend the Tournament of the 5 Star Academies, there was only one absolute reason that he could think of, and that was to enter the Angry Axe Valley. This has to be the idea of that woman. And although she was less than 30, and she did not have a Pure Spiritual Root, but she was still able to cultivate to the True Condensation 6th Level, it definitely showed that she was not ordinary. Ji Luo Fei, although felt a little dissatisfied by the way this Meng Jing Xiu talked about Ning Cheng, but she did not like to butt in such a silly thing, as such she only frowned, but did not speak up. In her mind, she still had some concerns about the Shui n. Liu Xian was also in a difficult position, he clearly knew why Meng Jing Xiu joined his God Wind Academy, it was to enter the Angry Axe Valley. If Meng Jing Xiu participated in the Tournament with her qualifications, he knew that she would not be able to get the quota for the Angry Axe Valley with just her intelligence. Even if the God Wind Academy somehow managed to obtain the first position, she would not be able to get the quota. At this time, a middle aged woman arrived next to Liu Xian, and pulled out a letter as she handed it to Liu Xian. After Liu Xian opened the letter and read the contents, he secretly sighed. After he put away the letter, he said to Meng Jing Xiu, Since that is the case, you can also enter. Ning Cheng your cultivation is the lowest, you can simply participate in the first two rounds, the third round will mainly depend on the scores of the three people C Chu Yong Xin, Gu Hong and Min Rui, the second round score will be handed over to Meng Jing Xiu. As long as Meng Jing Xiu could participate in the tournament, andparing herself to the other people participating along with her, no matter what, she had absolute faith in her abilities, and definitely was not worse than others. Although she knew that the quota for the Angry Axe Valley was extremely difficult to get, moreover even if it was more difficult, she would try her utmost to get that quota. Ning Cheng was also not going to say anything, and so after Liu Xian selected the 5 People, Ning Cheng just pulled Liu Xian aside and said to him, Deacon Liu, in the morning I ended up with a bit of a minor sh with the people from the Shui n. During the course of the tournament, I ask Deacon Liu to please look after Ji Luo Fei. By now Liu Xian knew that Ning Chengs and Ji Luo Feis rtionship was not shallow, if the rtionship was just a general one, then two people like them would definitely not live in the same house together. Now, after listening to Ning Chengs words, he immediatelyughed and said, You can rest assured, Luo Fei is also a disciple of my God Wind Academy, although my God Wind Academy is at the bottom of rest of the 5 Star Academies, that does not mean that it would fear a trivial n. Right, what exactly happened with you guys in the morning to end up fighting with each other? Ning Cheng gave an awkward smile, On the way here, I killed a disciple from the Shui n, he dared to bully Luo Fei, so I ended up hitting him a bit heavily. Ah...... Liu Xian suddenly felt a bit of pain in his head, just how was this a little skirmish? For a person to kill a member of the Shui n, it would really be strange if the Shui n gave up. Will you tell me exactly what happened, so that at least I can be ready. Now that he knew that Ning Cheng had killed a member of the Shui n, Liu Xian also carefully asked, if he Shui n dared to cause trouble, he would definitely not be passive. Ning Cheng also did not hide anything, and revealed the matter regarding Ji Luo Feipletely, after Liu Xian heard Ning Chengs words, he instantly rxed, Now that I heard your reason for doing so, I can assure you that during this Tournament period, the Shui n will note. Moreover, after the Tournament ends, we will also return back to the God Wind Academy, and the Shui n would not be able to harm you in any way. However, when you and Luo Fei go out, it would be better if you guys kept a lookout for people seeking revenge on you, after all the Shui n will not be nice to you. I understand, Deacon Liu, you can be rest assure that I definitely am not an easy-going man. Ning Cheng smiled, he had always faced people with much higher cultivation than his own, otherwise he would not have dared to p that Gu Fei at the entrance of the Cang Qin Academy. Now that his cultivation was countless times stronger than before, how could his courage diminish? Liu Xian also silently shook his head as he thought, I know that you really are not an easy-going man. For an easy-going man it would be impossible to take the first position in the preliminary round, moreover during the time when he had to choose a 5 Star Academy, didnt he also borrowed a few knives to kill. At this moment, a loud booming voice could be heard all around the Mo Ze Grand za, The Hua Continents Tournament of the 5 Star Academies First Round is about to begin, each of the 5 Star Academies, are required to send two representatives to the central area of the za above the main altar, all the rest of the cultivators are invited to spectate, but can only stand outside the Tournament Area, and calmly wait for the results of the Tournament. Those who try to hinder the tournament in any way, will be killed on the spot. The central portion of the za now had an iparably huge main altar ced on top of it, and directly above the main altar there was a man sitting in the middle. When Ning Chengs eyes fell on this man, he immediately felt an inexplicable sense of majesty emanating from him, and did not dare to continue to look at this man, let alone trying to assess his cultivation level. Nevertheless, Ning Cheng was sure that his cultivation was not as good as the cultivation of that white haired old woman, he guessed that this man should be the person who came from the Intermediate ss Continent to chair the selection of the 6 Star Academy. On both sides of this dignified looking man, there were three people sitting. Looking at the big table in front of them, he could guess that they should be for the people who would judge the rounds of the tournament. Below these seven people, there were a few seats dedicated to the 5 Star Academies with their emblems being branded onto them, every 5 Star Academy had two representatives that sat on those chairs. The God Wind Academy also had two representatives, other than Deacon Liu Xian, the other one was a woman with the cultivation of Essence Building Realm. In front of the main altar was a huge square tform, as Ning Cheng looked all around this square tform, he could see that there were many Restrictions set on every side of the tform. Other than the 5 participants from the 5 Star Academies, most of the cultivators stood either at the side-lines of this huge square tform or were standing outside of the main altar. Other than that, everyone could see what would go on inside from the 4 huge projection Array Formation screens. In ordance with the usual practice, everybody understood that the first 3 of the 4 Projection Array Screens should show the result after the first 3 rounds were over, and the final score along with the rankings of the five 5 Star Academies would be shown on the final 4th Projection Array Screen. The booming voice could once more be heard again, The 25 participants please enter the square tform, and take a seat at random, and make your preparations to begin with the First Round. Until that particr moment, although all the people in the Grand za knew that the first round would be a Memory Round, but no one expected that it would be carried out in full view of others. As that booming voice faded out, on the square tform in front of them, appeared 25 seats, and before each seat, there was a small table. It was simr to the setup Ning Cheng saw in the 5th Preliminary Written Round. On the 25 tables there were 2 sheets of paper and a pen neatly ced as if they were just waiting for a person to start. Chapter 0109 – Unexpected Topic Chapter 0109 C Unexpected Topic After Ning Cheng gave his Spear to Ji Luo Fei, he followed the other 4 participants from the God Wind Academy onto therge square tform in front of the main altar. From the God Wind Academy besides him and Meng Jing Xiu, there were three other people. Gu Hong, who was tall, and looked healthy and strong, and had the cultivation of True Condensation 8th Level. Chu Yong Xin was the person with the highest cultivation level among the five from the God Wind Academy, with a cultivation level of True Condensation 9th Level. But Min Rui was the skinniest and the smallest out of the five, but his cultivation level was at True Condensation 7th Level, although he did not know why he was ced amongst the five participants, but Ning Cheng estimated that it was because the God Wind Academy really did not have many outstanding talents. But what made Ning Cheng surprised, was that of the five participants from the Falling Star Academy, he actually knew three of them. One of them was Meng Yu Jing, who Ning Cheng had gone to look for before, she had the cultivation level of True Condensation 7th Level. But at this time there was no veil on her face revealing an extremely beautiful face. No wonder she was called the flower of the Falling Star Academy, Ning Cheng estimated that there was probably no one in the entire Mo Ze City who would be more attractive than her. Immediately next to Meng Yu Jing was another girl, but this young girl was staring at Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng just gave her a nod, but the girl frowned, and turned her head away. Ning Cheng did not expect that the Falling Star Academy would send Yue Ying onto the stage to participate in the tournament. At present Yue Yings cultivation was not low, it was at Qi Gathering 6th Level, so at most she would only be able to participate in the first and the second round. However, when he thought that Yue Ying had already advanced to the Qi Gathering 6th Level, Ning Cheng heart skipped a beat, wasnt this kind of speed simply too fast? When he had seen Yue Ying before, she had not yet started cultivating, so how could she advance this quickly to Qi Gathering 6th Level? One must know that he had a variety of lucky coincidences in his journey till now, and only arrived at his current cultivation of True Condensation 3rd Level. However, when Yue Ying came to the Falling Star Academy, her cultivation speed was just simply too explosive, to the point that it was really frightening. Moreover, as this young girl cultivation climbed higher and higher, it could be seen that she was definitely not inferior at all to Meng Yu Jing and would also grow up to be stunning like her. As for the third person from the Falling Star Academy, Ning Cheng knew who he was, it was none other than the white robed man who had jumped from the restaurant and single handedly stopped the fierce beast by himself, Shui Yu. This Shui Yu also had the cultivation of True Condensation 7th Level, however it appeared that he had only just advanced to that level. Since he was a person from the Shui n, how could he be a representative of the Falling Star Academy in this Tournament? When Ning Cheng looked at Shui Yu, Shui Yu also nced at Ning Cheng, Killing Intent shed in his eyes as he nced at him. It was evident that he knew who Ning Cheng was. As for the rest of the people, other than Leng Yi Tang, Ning Cheng did not recognise anyone else, however as for the rest of the people who Ning Cheng did not know, he simply did not have any interest in getting to know them. He knew that the people who were chosen by their Academies to enter the square tform, would definitely be someone extraordinary. Ning Cheng just casually grabbed a seat and sat down, he immediately found that his Spiritual Sense waspletely confined. It was just like before in the previous first round, none of them could use their Spiritual Sense. That majestic looking man sitting in the middle of the main altar finally stood up, while simultaneously the rest of the examinees filled up the 25 ces on the square tform. As he nced at the 25 candidates sitting in their seats on the square tform, he spoke in a slow voice, The people sitting on the stage who came to attempt the first round of written test, should be the elites of the Hua Continent. The time for this first round is only the time it takes an incense stick to burn.... Ning Cheng thought that since this was the Tournament of the 5 Star Academies, then the time given to the first time would certainly have been longer, at the very least it would be of the same duration as that of the first round that he had attended before. He did not expect that it would only be for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, it was just too short. The time it took for an incense stick to burn was approximately 30 minutes, still just half an hour topletely read and memorize a topic, how would they even write the written test? Not only was Ning Cheng thinking of this, but the same was true for the rest of the participants as they all looked with a doubtful look at the majestic man who was hosting the first round of thepetition, none of them could understand why the time given was so short. But this man did not care about the response from the 25 participants, and directly took out leather like parchment in his hands and said, The content of the written exam of this first round will be from this leather parchment in my hands, in a while I will personally open this parchment in front of everyone, you all will only have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to take a look at it before attempting to answer the questions, even for answering the questions, you will only have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to write down your answers. Thats it? Ning Cheng and the others simply did not believe it, the parchment roll in his hands, even if it was fully opened up, it would only be 3 feet in length and just a foot wide. To ensure that the words written on it were visible to everyone, the writing on it would definitely not be too small. How much content could it even have on it? All of them suddenly came to understand, no wonder the time given to attempt the first round was just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it seems that the first round was just to go through the motions, only a mere formality. After saying that the man opened the parchment, the parchment seemed to look like it was very old, the 25 participants on the stage immediately set their sights on the parchment in the hands of that man. The characters written on the leather like parchment was not very big, but not very small either. Even the cultivators who were outside the square tform, would be able to see them from their distance. Ning Cheng reckoned that the number of characters on the leather like parchment would at most be a thousand words, and as such would not pose any challenge to him. However, the next moment, Ning Cheng felt that it was not right, the characters written on the leather like parchment simply had no connection to each other, none of them formed any kind of sentence or even meant anything. Moreover, even the space between any two characters were different, one of the characters was the character for horse and the very next character was the character for bull, there just simply wasnt any connection between them. But Ning Cheng reacted immediately, and almost at the same time realised that the leather like parchment was not as simple as he thought out to be. He did not dare to have any other kinds of thoughts, and immediately focussed his entire mind on the contents of the leather like parchment. Ning Chengs strong memory capacity at this time was undoubtedly the highlight of this round, and in just two seconds, hepletely memorized the entire content on the parchment. But then Ning Cheng sighed, he suddenly found that the content on the leather like parchment now waspletely different from before. He subconsciously widened his eyes, and this time he saw it clearly, the content was truly different from before, moreover not even a single character was the same as before. This really was not as simple as he thought it out to be, Ning Cheng no longer dared to indulge in any other fancy thoughts, once again concentrated his entire mind on it, and started to memorize the contents for the second time. After a few seconds, the contents on the parchment simrly disappeared, and was reced a third time by an entirely different content. This new content was also the same as before containing different characters but without any meaning or connection to each other. At this point Ning Cheng already knew that this parchment was not as simple as it looked, and as such regarding the changes in the contents of the parchment every few seconds he now did not find it strange, his entire mind was now focussed on the contents of the parchment. A bitter, he even forgot that he was participating in the first round of the tournament. What he was currently seeing was a drawing on the parchment made from the characters, moreover he even saw a note in the picture. Good, it time to end it. A sudden voice interrupted Ning Cheng who had various pictures now flowing around in his mind. Ning Cheng finally woke up from his subconscious, he knew that the time it takes for an incense stick to burn was finally over. The one who spoke was the majestic looking man, as he rolled up the parchment and put it away. But at this moment, Ning Chengs heart was filled with storms, and his mind was also filled with several hundred kinds of different pictures floating around. Plus, there was still those several hundreds of thousands of characters, although they seemed to be different, but he could tell that they all has a secret hidden within them. Thinking about the age of the parchment, Ning Cheng was sure that that the contents of this parchment definitely contained either a very profound Cultivation Method or a simrly profound technique. Even his intuition was telling him that once he couldbine these images together in his headpletely, it could reveal an enormous secret. By this time, Ning Cheng finally understood why did that man took out the parchment and showed it to them. This was only one side of the parchment, one had to view the other side of this parchment, in order to know what the secret it held. It seems that the people from the Intermediate ss Continents were really broad minded, to even bring out this kind of thing as their exam material, which would definitely profit the examinees. But then Ning Cheng suddenly thought that something was wrong with this kind of thinking, for the first round of this tournament he could have chosen any kind of topic, so why would he take out this kind of parchment? At this time Ning Cheng could now hear the participants near him start their discussions. Did you also feel that the contents on the parchment change? No I didnt, I only saw the content in front of me, although it was very difficult, but at least I was able to remember most of it by the time it took for the incense stick to burn. The contents did change, moreover there were three different changes, but I could not remember them all.... What made Ning Cheng surprised, that the majestic looking man did not even prohibit the following discussion, and after these discussions finally died down, he said, OK, it time for you all to now answer the questions. Ning Cheng picked up the pen and paper on the table, and first wrote down his name and name of the 5 Star Academy that he represented, and then immediately discovered that 10 questions had immediately appeared on the white paper. The first question: Whether the contents of the parchment changed or not? If there was a change, altogether how many changes did you observe? Ning Cheng frowned, in his mind the numerous pictures were still rolling about in his head, moreover, he knew that if he couldprehend these thingspletely, it would definitely bring great benefits to him. But he did not believe that this person from the Intermediate ss Continent would be so gracious, and would share this kind of precious thing with them. Before he had also heard from the people standing outside the square tform that they could see the contents of the parchment change a few times, and there were still a few who could not see even a single change in the contents. But Ning Cheng was different from the others, as he saw at least 600-700 different changes, moreover these changes were continuouslyprehended and developed unceasingly in his head. How could he even write those kinds of things? Perhaps even the person who had taken out the parchment did not know about these kinds of changes himself.... A sh of light instantly illuminated Ning Chengs mind, he suddenly understood why he had taken it out. He had never believed that there would be someone in this world who would give out free meat pies without expecting anything, this man who had brought out the leather like parchment definitely did not do so because he was a generous person. This man not only took out the parchment, but he even called upon the cultivators of the Hua Continent with the most powerful memories, just to see how many changes could they detect. This person should definitely be aware of the extraordinariness of this leather like parchment, but it seems that he is unable to crack it by himself. As long as someone can crack the various changes in the leather like parchment, maybe they would be immediately taken away by them, and then specifically made to study that parchment. Otherwise, why would they bring out this kind of topic which was simply unrted to the Tournament of the 5 Star Academies? Thinking till here, Ning Cheng did not hesitate to write that there was no change in the contents of the parchment. Even if he had to fail in the first round, there was still two more rounds ahead of him. Then Ning Cheng saw the second question, Whether or not if there was any change, write down the 567th character that you saw on the parchment. This question also did not pose any difficulty to Ning Cheng, and he immediately wrote down the 567th character before the contents of the parchment changed for the first time. But then from the 3rd question to the 10th question, all of them left Ning Cheng dumbfounded, the 3rd question was, if there was a change, please write down the number of characters in the second change, the 4th question was how many more characters were there in the 3rd changepared to the 1st change. It simply went like this, all the way to the 10th question. Ning Cheng sighed darkly in his heart, he simply put down his pen, he decided to not answer these questions. Even if he knew about the changes that he saw himself, the person who gave out these questions would definitely not know about it. However, he did not dare to even attempt any other question other than the 2nd one. Since this kind of heaven like object had beenpletely memorized by him, what he really wanted to do now was to find a secluded ce to retreat and then quietly ponder over it. As Ning Cheng thought about it, he gradually felt that the reason why he was able to perceive so many changes, was probably because of the Mysterious Yellow Origin. If he did not have the Mysterious Yellow Origin, he would at most only be an ordinary person with a strong memory. Just what was the Mysterious Yellow Origin? Ning Cheng could vaguely feel that he had started toprehend something, but why would the Mysterious Yellow Origin help him see all the various changes? The time it takes for an incense stick to burn is finally up.... The man hosting the First Round of the Tournament interrupted Ning Chengs thoughts, and simultaneously waved his hands, the responses of all the 25 participants immediately flew into his hands. All the people there knew, that this majestic looking man would personally grade the papers. Ning Cheng wanted to see the expression of the man as he graded the papers of the 25 participants, but he knew that if he stared at him at this time, it would absolutely not be wise. Sure enough, in just the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, this man finally put away the 25 responses, as he simultaneously adjusted the several Array gs. After a few moments, the rankings of the first round of the tournament was disyed on the first projection Array Formation screen. Chapter 0110 – Ning Cheng’s Total Of Two Rounds Chapter 0110 C Ning Chengs Total Of Two Rounds Ning Cheng clearly knew that it was because he was acknowledged by the Mysterious Yellow Origin as its master, which is why he was able to sense those several hundreds of changes in the leather like parchment. Therefore, when it came to other people, many of them could not even perceive even a single change, while only a handful of people could experience at most 2 or 3 changes, as such Ning Cheng did not feel much surprised about it. But when he saw the 1st Projection Array Screen, he waspletely shocked in his heart. The person who took the first position had astonishingly scored 95 points, Ning Cheng could guess that it was perhaps whoever scored that score was not able to finish writing the answer of at least one of the questions. In other words, aside from that one question, they hadpletely answered all the questions correctly, unexpectedly if they were given just a bit of time, then that person could have scored full points in this round. Moreover, Ning Cheng did not expect that that one who had secured the first position was someone he knew, Falling Star Academys Yue Ying. On this square tform, this young girl had the lowest cultivation, but unexpectedly she managed to obtain 95 points, and was undisputedly the first for this round. The second one was Leng Yi Yang from the Luo Hou Academy with 65 points, it was simply a far cry from the first position. However, since he had obtained the 2nd position, it was not considered disgraceful at all. The third ce was taken by Ling Naixin from the Thunder Academy, with a total of 55 points, it can be seen that she indeed disyed her abilities in the preliminary round. Unexpectedly the 4th position was taken by the Clear Sky Academys Situ Yu, with 45 points. Properly speaking the one who should have taken that spot from the Clear Sky Academy should have been Gong Jun, but he only managed to score just 15 points. But what really surprised the people was the score of Ning Cheng from the God Wind Academy, Ning Cheng had taken the first ce in the previous written round with an undisputed 100 points. But in the first round in the Tournament of the 5 Star Academies, he only obtained 10 points. Instead the other representative from the God Wind Academy, Meng Jing Xiu, was the one with the highest score among them, with 25 points. When the final rankings were fully dered, it immediately caused the participants from the 5 Star Academies and the other people to go into an uproar. Unexpectedly Ning Cheng only scored 10 points, this score really made the God Wind Academy to lose face. Fortunately, at least Ning Chengs score was not the lowest. As there was even a person who had scored only 5 points. That Ning Xiao Cheng is really unworthy of his name, he only obtained a meagre 10 points. The God Wind Academy sure lost out in a big way. He must have seen the topics of the previous first round before, otherwise he would definitely not have obtained those 100 points back then. You can only be lucky once, how can one expect to have good luck all the time? Moreover, they are not the only one who suffered a loss of face, didnt you see the score of that Gong Jun who is also the representative of the Clear Sky Academy? Before in the previous preliminary round he was able to obtain 76 points, but in this first round of the Tournament he was also the same as that Ning Xiao Cheng, and only obtained 15 points. Also in reality, even that Yuan Liang from the Falling Star Academy also did not score too good. In the first round of this Tournament, only that Leng Yi Yang and Ling Naixin who had scored good in the preliminary round seem to have true talent, while the rest of them were just a big flop. Who are Leng Yi Yang and Ling Naixin? They not only people who have Pure Spiritual Roots, but are also the core disciples of their respective 5 Star Academies. Their Pure Spiritual Roots also yed a huge role whenpared to others. As a result, who is genuine and who is fake eventually came out....... ...... After the results of the first round came out, the people standing by the side immediately started talking. It seemed that the Clear Sky Academy fared a bit better than the God Wind Academy, and moreover that Situ Yu also stood out. But the God Wind Academy really took a huge plunge, the highest score from among them was that of Meng Jing Xiu who had scored 25 points. On the main altar, Liu Xian had a face full of disappointment, he could not help but think hard about the untold hardships that he had taken to bring Ning Cheng back to his Academy only to not even get a decent result. Cheng Chengxuan from the Luo Hou Academy suddenly said to Liu Xian with a face full of smiles, Brother Liu, it looks like only a true fire can help one refine gold, it seems to be the case with your God Wind Academy. s... Saying those words with a smile on his face, he could easily see what the end result would be, which made everyone know that Cheng Chengxuan was ridiculing Liu Xian for grabbing Ning Cheng. Not to mention that they had to cough up a lot of resources to acquire him, now they also had to bear with the consequences. Fortunately, he did not know about the falling out between Ning Cheng and the Shui n. Bringing along an enemy to enter the God Wind Academy. Hey hey, maybe Brother Liu had a great foresight for the future, and thus let that Ning Xiao Cheng to go up. Maybe in the 3rd round, they will decide to unleash their hidden strength. After all, the battle between the disciples has the bulk of the score...... One of the Falling Star Academys Profound Congealing Elder spoke in an extremely self-satisfied and sarcastic tone. Moreover, he had the right to be proud of himself, after all after the first round of tournament, the Falling Star Academy, with a total of 170 points, had secured the 1st position. The Luo Hou Academy, with 120 points, took the 2nd ce, and the Thunder Academy, with 108 points took the 3rd ce. The Clear Sky Academy, with 105 points, was ranked 4th. But the most promising candidate for the first round, the God Wind Academy, not only failed to reduce the gap between it and the other academies, but ended up just doing the opposite i.e. increasing the gap between the scores. With only a total of 66 points, it took thest ce in the rankings. Liu Xian was already not feeling well, and now that he was being ridiculed, his face was getting uglier by the moment, even his Qi was getting chaotic. Even if that was the case, he did not have any means to refute the oue. Ji Luo Fei who was standing in the God Wind Academys stall was biting on her lip nervously, she didnt care about the sarcasticments being thrown at the God Wind Academy and the rest of its disciples, but was worried about Ning Cheng. She believed that Ning Cheng, who had easily obtained the first ce in the preliminary round, would definitely have a good reason to do such a thing, but unfortunately at the moment she just couldnt go and ask Ning Cheng about it. Lou Fei...... A slightly hoarse voice sounded behind Ji Luo Fei. Paternal aunt. Ji Luo Fei turned her head and saw Ji Yao He and called out subconsciously. Then she immediately saw the two women standing behind Ji Yao He, looking at their clothing, they should be the freshmen of the Falling Star Academy. Luo Fei, hurry up ande with me to apologize to the Shui n together, and then agree to the marriage with the Shui n...... Ji Yao He did not even finish her words, when she was immediately interrupted by Ji Luo Fei, Paternal Aunt, if you still speak of such things, then we will not have any rtions with each other. Luo Fei, what are you talking about? Who told you to speak with your paternal aunt like that? Ning Cheng had already killed Shui Feng Gan of the Shui n, basically he is already a dead man walking, once the three rounds of the tournament are over, he will ultimately end up dead, but you are still stubborn about him, do you want to die that badly? Ji Yao He said as herplexion changed. Ji Luo Fei inly spoke, If you really were my paternal aunt, you would never have even brought up the topic of getting remarried when I already had a fianc, if you continue to speak like this, then we no longer will be a family. Ji Yao Hes face turned pale with anger, she knew that her paternal niece had a strong temperament, but she really did not expect her to be this unreasonable. Fortunately, she knew that this was the Stall of the God Wind Academy, even if she was feeling an immense anger, she still forced herself to calm down, Luo Fei, do you even know what kind of person that Ning Cheng is? Just look at the score he obtained in the first round, a meagre 10 points, that is his true level. Before in the preliminary round, the reason he got the first ce was most probably because he knew the answers beforehand. Of course, these are not important. What is more important, is that Ning Cheng is just an extremely profligate person. When he was in the Clear Heart Academy, he was found tantly sleeping together with the Clear Heart Academys slut, Su Zhu. As for who is that Su Zhu, the two people behind me, Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun, knows her more clear than me. If you still do not believe me, then you can ask both of them, that even though he is engaged, he still sleeps around ....... Ji Luo Fei who was suppressing herself till now, finally could not bear it any longer, as she immediately said loudly, Ji Yao He, why are you going all out to pick on MY Ning Cheng? I will always be together with him, youe to me and keep on insulting him, just what the hell do you even know about him? Just get lost, you bitch of an aunt, I do not want to see your ugly face again in my entire life. The matter between me and Ning Cheng is our own affair, it has nothing to do with other people...... Thinking back to all the pain that she had to endure for many years, finally finding her paternal aunt and her mother, only to be deceived by both her own mother and her paternal aunt one by one, trying to get her to leave Ning Cheng, filled Ji Luo Feis heart with endless grief. When her paternal aunt Ji Yao He arrived a moment ago and started to speak those words, it made the anger and grief in Ji Luo Feis heart to reach the critical point, she just could not suppress it any longer and finally erupted. When she heard Ji Luo Fei directly call her out as Ji Yao He, moreover even as a bitch of an aunt, Ji Yao He pointed at Ji Luo Fei with trembling hands, as she thought, just what kind of evil had filled Ji Luo Feis heart? Just why does she not even listen to reason? Although the result of Ning Cheng in the first round of the tournament was not good, but Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei were still the students of the God Wind Academy, as such one of the Essence Building Cultivators of the God Wind Academy immediately came towards Ji Yao He and spoke, The few friends please do not cause trouble in my God Wind Academys stall. Even though Ji Yao He was brimming with anger, she directly led away Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun as she suppressed her anger with great difficulty, she decided to ignore Ji Luo Fei. The final oue was something she asked for it herself, there was no one else to me. ...... The majestic looking man who had hosted the first round once again stood up on the stage and nced at the results of the first round, and once again said, Now let us proceed to the second round of the tournament, the 25 participants on the tform, please write down your understanding of the parchment that you saw in the first round, or you can just write down the contents that you saw of the changes you observed, the time is still the same, i.e., the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Ning Cheng increasing became clear in his heart, so it really was just like he had predicted. The examinations conducted in the first two rounds, was clearly to look for a person who could really understand andprehend the contents of the leather like parchment. Once they found such a person, perhaps they would be soon taken away by that person. Regardless whether the result was good or bad they would be taken away. Ning Cheng wanted to be a free bird, he had many things he had to aplish in his life, so how could he be allowed to be taken away? All the people immediately began to write their own understanding and whatever they remembered from the contents of the parchment, Ning Cheng also began to write, but he only wrote things that were irrelevant to the contents of the parchment, and did not write anything else. Once he quickly wrote some bullshit, he once again started to try andprehend the pictures that he had observed in the parchment, the images were getting clearer and clearer in his head, but Ning Cheng did not wait for others to interrupt him. So before the stick of incense finished burning, he took the initiative to stop himself from immersing himself inprehending the contents of the parchment. The second round of the tournament was even quicker than the first round, so after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn ended, Ning Cheng and the other participants got down from the square tform, while simultaneously the result of the 2nd round also came out. In the 2nd round of the tournament which measured theprehension ability of a person, Ning Cheng got an even lower score, just a single point, which made his total of 11 points. The highest scorer in the second round was still Yue Ying, who scored 51 points. This time Ning Cheng especially paid attention to that girl called Yue Ying, he knew, that if they really discussed about their respectiveprehensions in the second round, then Yue Ying may not even get a fifth of her actual score, so he estimated that that man who was hosting the round had deliberately raised her score. But even if that was the case, Yue Ying was certainly unusual. But it really was regrettable, Yue Ying really did not have much experience about this world, perhaps she might just be taken away and be used for hardbour. The third round is a sparring match; the round starts now. As the result of the second round was disyed on the 2nd Projection Array Formation screen, the man who was hosting the tournament simultaneously also announced the start of the 3rd round of the tournament. Saying that, as if it now was not a concern for him, he once again stepped back and sat on his seat, then tightly shut his eyes, and no longer spoke. Chapter 0111 – The Most Direct Confrontation Chapter 0111 C The Most Direct Confrontation After the results of the 2nd round came out, the Falling Star Academy was ranked 1st with a total of 221 points, with 155 points, the Luo Huo Academy secured the 2nd ce. The Thunder Academy with 138 points finished 3rd, the Clear Sky Academy with 130 points was 4th, but the God Wind Academy was thest with the most distant score of only 76 points. The man who hosted the 1st and the 2nd rounds of the tournament, after announcing the start of the 3rd round, no longer spoke. At this point an old man sitting below him on the main altar, walked to the front of the main altar, and spoke loudly, The 3rd round is a Battle Round in which the strengths of the 5 Star Academies would bepared, which is also the best measure of strengths of each of the Academies. Therefore, the points that can be scored in the 3rd round is also the maximum, with a total of 250 points, as to how much an Academy can score, it will depend on their individuals skill...... When Ning Cheng heard this, he immediately thought, this time this particr round was really the deciding factor whenpared to the previous 2 rounds. Maybe they could not decide on which of the people who couldprehend the leather like parchment to choose from, after all both the rounds were only for a short period of time, so the score was still lower than what they expected. As such to decide which one of the Academies would be promoted to a 6 Star Academy, most of the 5 Star Academies would definitely go all out in this round. Ning Cheng...... Ji Luo Fei still had some worry in her heart as she met up with him, even though she only met with her paternal aunt just for a moment, but it ended up making her sad. At this moment her heart and mind was wholeheartedly focussed only on Ning Cheng. Liu Xian also walked towards them from the main altar, he just patted on Ning Chengs shoulder and said, You do not need to be worried about this round, even if you got a 100 points, our score in the 3rd round is not very optimistic. You can rest in the 3rd round, and have a look at the performances of your fellow apprentices, while also taking the time to learn from their practical experience. On hearing Liu Xians words Ning Cheng really had a very favourable impression of him, he was still treating him with the respect of a core disciple of the God Wind Academy, despite the price he had to pay for him. Moreover, there was still the fact that in the first two rounds of the tournament, he had only scored abined score of a measly 11 points. But because his score was too low, it was simply not counted in the total. After the simpleforting words spoken to Ning Cheng, Liu Xian at once went towards the three Late Stage True Condensation fellow apprentices and spoke some encouraging words to them for the 3rd round. Although your performance was just as I expected, as you only scored a total of 11 points in the two rounds. But I am still a bit disappointed. I thought that you were simr to me and would end up taking my quota, the God Wind Academy would definitely take ones score into consideration. Actually, it seems that I really did not read you wrong. Meng Jing Xiu said as she walked over towards them, she even looked at Ning Cheng with disdain in her eyes. Ning Cheng knew the reason why she was acting that way, it was because he had almost taken away her spot, if not for Liu Xian still being friendly towards him, that Meng Jing Xius hatred towards him might even be a lot bigger than now. But Ning Cheng did not take Meng Jing Xiu seriously at all, and just spokezily, You also did not score much higher than me. I may have not scored much higher that you, but out of us 2 people from the God Wind Academy, my score of 35 points is still enough to tower over youpletely. Moreover, with my score I easily am much ahead of you in the first two rounds, it just seems that you really do not understand what you said before. Meng Jing Xiu looked at Ning Cheng and said while shaking her head, with an expression of pride on her face. Saying that. She simply turned away, and absolutely did not wait for Ning Cheng to reply back. Ning Cheng who was behind her, just chuckled and said, Just how do you think that you and I are simr? How could you be so sure that I would not be able to score points in the 3rd round? When Meng Jing Xiu heard Ning Chengs words, in her eyes shed a trace of ridicule, but she did not bother to reply back. At this time the old man hosting the third round once again spoke up, Now I am going to exin the rules of the 3rd round, the 3rd round of the tournament is not limited to your opponents in the other Academies, simply put anyone can fight anyone, even participants from the same Academy can fight each other...... This exnation was somewhat unclear to Ning Cheng, since this was apetition between the 5 Star Academies. Of course participants from one Academy fighting with participants from other Academy was the norm, but how could they allow the participants from the same Academy to fight each other? Even the audience below was confused and were discussing loudly with each other, it was clear that they also did not understand why that old man was setting such a rule. When the old man saw that everyone was speaking noisily, he immediately raised his hand which caused every one of them to feel a heavy pressure bearing down on them. At the same time, he once more spoke with a loud voice, Pipe down, listen to the rules that I am speaking. The old man was also a guest from the Intermediate ss Continent. So his words had a lot of weight behind them, so after he spoke out, the audience immediately quieted down. The old man hosting the round once again spoke in a loud voice, Before the 3rd round of the tournament starts. The 25 participants will each carry 10 points, with the total adding up to 250 points, meaning each Academy has a total of 50 points. When two peoplee onto the stage topete, the score of the losing side will be scrapped and added to the score of the person who won. For example, if Zhang San and Li Si came up to battle, both of them will initially have 10 points, after Zhang San wins the fight, then his score will then be 20 points, but Li Si will have lost his score. People without a score, will not be allowed on to the stage to fight again. If another Wang Wu Daies onto the stage with 10 points, and then challenge Zhang San, and if Zhang San loses, then his score will be added to Wang Wu Dais score. Wang Wu Dai will now have a score of 30 points, while Zhang San will now have no score. As the old man spoke till this point, it became very clear and all the people could easily understand. This really was the most direct way to grab points, moreover it was also the most intuitive method too. But if they went along with this, then wouldnt the person with the highest cultivation level among the participants, whisk away the 250 pointspletely? However, as they thought that since there would only be a single 6 Star Academy, they could not find any contradictions to it. The old man once again spoke, If one of the participants from the Academy, at any point before the start of the battle, has a weaker cultivation level or if they feel that they would not be able to win the round, or those who dont want to participate in this Battle Round, they can hand over their score to one of the other participants from the same Academy, preferably to the person with the highest cultivation, if you want. Once you hand over your score, you will not be able to continue to challenge others on the stage, moreover the others also cannot challenge those who do not have a score. Moreover, each person will have the chance to challenge only three times, but each person can only be challenged up to three times. Remember, if the participants from the same Academy battle out each other, then no matter how many times they are challenged, it would only be counted as one. The rules of this round have already been stated, so if any of you any questions, you can raise them now. If the disciple from an Academy loses, but after leaving the stage, can the other disciples give him their score and then continue to challenge on the battle stage? God Wind Academys Liu Xian asked. The other people knew the hidden meaning behind his words, the God Wind Academy only had a very few experts for the Battle Round, he was afraid that if his most powerful disciple lost, then there was no chance for them to bounce back. It is not possible. The old man answered very simply. Excuse me, what if during the battle, one slipped and ended up killing their opponent? This question was asked by Shui Yu from the Shui n. As Ning Cheng listened to Shui Yus words, he knew that this was the guy who had looked at him with Killing Intent in his eyes, he could say with confidence that he said those words because he had nned to kill him. The old man indifferently looked at the eyes of Shui Yu, and said with an expressionless tone, If you fear death, then just give your points to some other person from your Academy who does not. As the old man finished, he waited for a moment, and then once again said in a loud voice, The 3rd round of the tournament will now begin, the first person to go up on stage will be the person might just end up with the highest score till now. The old man who was hosting the 3rd round then drew back, and set up a few strong Restrictions on the square tform, but for the moment no one went up to the stage. It seems that no one was willing to be the first person to take the lead, but the people who came to view the battle round were not getting impatient. Everybody knew that it was just the calm before the storm, once the storm hits, there would not be a single calm moment. The people on the main altar, were also not worried about it, they were just watching as if waiting to eat steamed crabs for the first time. At this time there were 25 names being disyed on the 3rd Projection Array Formation Screen, and all of them had 10 points in front of them. Although there were 25 people that appeared on the Projection Array Formation Screen, but everyone knew, that under these rules, only a dozen people at most can enter the square stage, not everyone coulde up. Ning Cheng, give me your score. Your cultivation is too low, with your score in my hands, at least no one will challenge you. Meng Jing Xiu had thought that she would never again have to speak with Ning Cheng, but when she heard the rules of the Battle Round, she immediately arrived at Ning Chengs side and spoke up. Just who do you think you are? And why should I give it to you? If at first when Meng Jing Xiu spoke about her thoughts of him robbing her quota, then at least Ning Cheng could still understand such behaviour. But now she thinks that she is amazing, andes over to demand his score as if it was natural, Ning Cheng really did not feel well in his heart. Then I will challenge you. Meng Jing Xiu saw that Ning Chengs cultivation was just at trivial Early Stages of True Condensation Realm, but he even unexpectedly dared to hold onto his 10 points, she immediately became angry. In her view, if Ning Cheng did not hand over his score to other disciples from the same Academy, then he would only end up giving it to other people. Fuck Off. Ning Cheng was finally driven to the limits of his patience. He really was despising this woman in his heart, if you want to challenge, then go challenge the people from the different Academies, of the other 20 people from the other institutes, you are free to challenge any one. Unfortunately, she just had to look at the 10 points in his possession, just how could he not feel humiliated? At once Meng Jing Xius eyebrows trembled, but before she erupted in anger, Liu Xian immediately walked over and spoke, The round is going to start soon, what are you people still quarrelling about? Ning Cheng immediately said to Liu Xian, Deacon Liu, Meng Jing Xiu wants to challenge me, is something wrong with her head? Meng Jing Xiu wanted to exin that letting Ning Cheng hold onto his score was just a waste, but then she saw Liu Xian frown and immediately speak. Meng Jing Xiu, our God Wind Academy is a 5 Star Academy. Do not speak something that will make us lose face, if you want to fight, then fight the other Academies in the tournament. Yes. Meng Jing Xiu did not dare to be impolite towards Deacon Liu, once she answered respectfully, she immediately turned and walked away, she did not even bother to take a look at Ning Cheng. Deacon Liu, do you want me to hand my score over? Ning Cheng spoke calmly, if Liu Xian also came to ask for his score, he would immediately give it to Liu Xian, then bring Ji Luo Fei and walk far away from here. In this tournament, the benefits he had received were more than enough. Just the several hundred variations from the leather like parchment, had already benefited him greatly. When he asked Liu Xian about his score, it was not that he did not respect him anymore. It was just that even if he did not ask about it, he would have given it to him by himself. Liu Xian just smiled bitterly and shook his head while saying, No, but you should look after your own safety. I already saw that Shui Yu looking at you with an intent to kill in his eyes, you really have to be careful about him. My God Wind Academy is already doomed to be at the bottom, why would I even bother about your 10 points? If you really are not sure about yourself, then you can give your score to Chu Yong Xin yourself, he is my God Wind Academys strongest person in the True Condensation Realm. Thank you, Deacon Liu, I think that I still want to give it a try. Ning Cheng felt that Liu Xian was also a mild mannered person like him, even in his temperament towards him. God Wind Academys Meng Jing Xiues to the stage with 10 points, regardless of who, I will ept the challenge. After Meng Jing Xie stepped on to the square tform, she then saw Ning Cheng in a conversation with Liu Xian. When Liu Xian saw Meng Jing Xiu was the first person to step onto the tform to ept the challenge, he just shook his head, sighed and then turned around to leave. Nobody thought that the first person toe up on the tform to ept challenges, would unexpectedly turn out to be Meng Jing Xiu of the God Wind Academy. Looking at the cultivation of Meng Jing Xiu, it was only at True Condensation 6th Level. Out of the five 5 Star Academies participating in the third round, the cultivation of worst of them that would participate in this round would at the very least be in the Late Stages of True Condensation Realm, but unexpected a cultivator at the True Condensation 6th Level came out to take the challenges? The audience surrounding the square tform immediately began to talk, everyone wanted to know which Academy woulde out to rob the points from Meng Jing Xiu from the God Wind Academy. Chapter 0112 – Ning Xiao Cheng Courts Death Chapter 0112 C Ning Xiao Cheng Courts Death As soon as Meng Jing Xiu made her deration of the challenge, two people immediately rushed towards the tform. However, the person from the Luo Huo Academy was obviously nearer, and as such was the first person to rush onto the stage. The other person who saw that the person from the Luo Huo Academy had already reached the tform, had to walk back resentfully. I am Zu Jun Jie from the Luo Huo Academy, carrying 10 points. Miss Meng, you are not my opponent, since you are one of the few women here, as long as you admit defeat.... Zhu Jun Jie had not yet finished what he was saying, when Meng Jing Xiu immediately brandished her Magical Artefact. A ming red Halberd Shadow immediately sealed of Zu Jun Jies retreat, after which she immediately stabbed out with her fiery red halberd, even the Restrictions ced on the square tform were shaking because of the powerful surging waves from the halberd. Her True Essence really is quite powerful, Ning Cheng thought as he looked at Meng Jing Xiu, it was evident that this Meng Jing Xiu was more formidable than Zu Jun Jie. Zu Jun Jie already had the cultivation of True Condensation 8th Level, however the strength of a cultivator, cannot only be exined in terms of their cultivation levels. Ning Cheng had already fully understood this point, as before and after the remoulding of his Meridians by the Mysterious Yellow Origin, his cultivation of True Condensation 1st Level at both times, whenpared to each other, was miles apart. Seeing Meng Jing Xiu utilising her halberd to this extent, the dissatisfaction that Ning Cheng felt before towards this woman had already faded a lot. For women using a halberd Type Artefact was not much, but the way Meng Jing Xiu utilised her halberd, bringing out shadows that were at least thrice the length of the usual, it was as if a titan was fighting a human. This showed that this woman waspletely straightforward in her ways, although she did not speak much, but she was easily offended by people. Ning Cheng also used a Spear while fighting, but because he did not have arge enough Storage Bag, he could only keep the broken Spear on his back. So when he saw Meng Jing Xiu disy her halberd, it kind of gave him a sense of familiarity with each other. Zu Jun Jie did not think that Meng Jing Xiu would begin without even speaking a single word, as he hurriedly brought out a round Shield Type Artefact. Ka Cha a sound emerged. The shield had not yet charged up, when Meng Jing Xiupletely blew it open with her halberd. Zu Jun Jie was also affected by the strong undtions of the formidable True Essence from her, and was sent back flying several meters away. Even his mouth was overflowing with blood. If not for the square tform being huge, perhaps he would have already been thrown back towards the edge of the Restriction. You made a sneak attack. Zu Jun Jie spoke furiously. Meng Jing Xiu sneered, Since you cant deal with my attack, so you call it a sneak attack? Angry.... River.... Tide.... Rises...... As soon as Meng Jing Xiu spoke those words, the halberd in her hands transformed into innumerable shadows forming towering water like waves that blotted out the sky as it rushed towards Zu Jun Jie. It was also filled with a matchless and immense Killing Intent, feeling the surging ripples of True Essenceing from the waves, some of the nearby spectators, felt their entire bodies go cold with fear. This halberd technique really was too terrible. All the people who were watching the battle understood, that if Meng Jing Xiu had used some sort of trick to perform a sneak attack before, then this was the real attack, even if that Zu Jun Jie resorted to use the shield once again, he would not have any chance. When Zu Jun Jie saw this move, he immediately turned pale. At this time, he did not dare to think of anything else, raising his hands, he at once brought out a pair of Golden Tiger Hooks. Zu Jun Jie already felt that Meng Jing Xius True Essence was really much more formidable that his own, wielding the Golden Tiger Hooks in his hands, he immediately began to crazily circte his True Essence. If possible, he was even willing topletely burn up his True Essence. It was the first time for him to run into a woman with such a fierce cultivation at True Condensation 6th Level. Zu Jun Jies own cultivation was at True Condensation 8th Level, and was one of the selected representatives from the Luo Hou Academy to take part in the 3rd round of the tournament, it was obvious that he did not just have a hollow reputation. After hepletely charged the Golden Tiger Hooks in his hands with all the strength that he could muster, they immediately began to form shadow after shadows of Golden Coloured Hooks. However, the people with a higher cultivation level than him could see. That although Zu Jun Jie was making one golden hook after another appear, whenpared to the stormy sea like Halberd Shadows from Meng Jing Xiu, the result was as obvious as heaven and earth. Boom Boom Boom.... Just like the rough sea waves whips about the reefs, formidable booming sounds could be heard all over. Even the spectators near the tform had to forcefully circte their True Essence to keep themselves nted. Ka Cha The golden hook shadows that were brought out by Zu Jun Jie finally werepletely broken, there was now nothing to block the Halberd Shadows which bombed onto Zu Jun Jies body. Zu Jun Jie once again went flying back, while simultaneously spurting out several mouthfuls of blood. Plop A sound emerged. Zu Jun Jie finally fell off from the edge of the tournament tform, as Meng Jing Xiu stepped forward to start once again. He immediately took the initiative and cried out, I admit defeat. At this time Zu Jun Jie was already covered with innumerable bloody stains. His body was already riddled with injuries, if he was hit once more, there was absolutely no guarantee that he would still retain his life. Zu Jun Jie tremblingly stood up and walked back down, this time what was more frightening for him, was not his body that was full of injuries, but the fact that he was forced to personally throw in the towel and admit defeat. That to in front of so many eyes, he just could not dare to lift his face up, as he not only lost to someone with a lower cultivation level than his own, but to a woman at that, how could he raise his head up after this? On the third huge projection Array Formation screen, of the 25 names previously, Zu Jun Jies name was removed. While the score in front of Meng Jing Xiu rose from 10 points to 20 points. The Grand za was silent for a long while, before it erupted in huge cheers. This kind of unexpected result was the most popr among them. Liu Xian was pleasantly surprised as he muttered, I never thought about it, but Meng Jing Xiu actually won, does it meant that my God Wind Academy still has a chance? Meng Jing Xiu remained quiet as she got down from the tform, Ning Cheng knew that she had already exhausted arge portion of her True Essence a moment ago. This time when people saw her, nobody wanted to challenge her or wanted to be challenged by her. Ji Luo Fei said in a low voice in Ning Chengs ear, This woman is amazing, if she is going to challenge you, then you really will have to be careful of her. Ning Cheng nodded in agreement with Ji Luo Feis views, Meng Jing Xius attack was indeed powerful. But to say that she could sessfully challenge him, Ning Cheng thought that Ji Luo Fei was overestimating her a bit too much. Even if Meng Jing Xiu wanted to challenge him, it could only be after the 3rd round of the tournament came to an end, moreover she would have to at least wait till they went back to the God Wind Academy to have a match with him. As for the technique that Meng Jing Xiu shown, Ning Cheng confirmed that she did not have a good grasp on it and would not be able to use it continuously. If the 5 Star Academies dispatched their most formidable masters in the True Condensation Realm, then it was absolutely impossible for her to have Zu Jun Jie as her opponent. Originally the God Wind Academy was regarded as a thrash because the first person toe up to challenge was Meng Jing Xiu, but with her performance a moment ago, it at least saved a bit of their face, at least no one from the other 5 Star Academies tried to ridicule Liu Xian again. Good, Good, Very Good. Liu Xian was unceasingly praising Meng Jing Xiu, for him, Meng Jing Xiu not only won the one fight. Before on the main altar, he was being ridiculed by others continuously, but now that Meng Jing Xiu had won, he was simply disinclined to go up again. While many people were discussing about Meng Jing Xiu from God Wind Academy in low voices, once more a persons shadow fell on top of the square tform. This person was a man wearing a white robe, and looked extremely clean and handsome. He had dark red hair flowing down to his shoulders, making him look a bit unrestrained. If there were any shorings to say about his looks, then it was his nose which was a bit hook shaped. But in other peoples eyes, it seemed that they would once again see another grand fight. Some of the pretty women standing below also started screaming out their love, showing that the white robed man really was quite popr with thedies. This white robed man cupped his fist in front of him, and spoke in a clear booming voice, Falling Star Academys Shui Yu, carries 10 points to challenge Ning Xiao Cheng of the God Wind Academy. Shui Yus words immediately brought back the crowds focus on Ning Xiao Cheng who they had forgotten, Ning Xiao Cheng had gotten the first ce in the preliminary written test, but in the two previous rounds of the tournament, he only scored 11 points, he was simply a huge joke to them. At this time Ning Xiao Chengs cultivation was also exposed, but his cultivation was at least not regarded as bad, everyone could see that he had the cultivation of True Condensation 3rd Level. But even if he had the cultivation of True Condensation 3rd Level, whenpared to someone with a cultivation level of True Condensation 7th Level, they simply did not have to guess the results. This Ning Xiao Cheng is just courting death; I dont know how he ended up offending Shui Yu of the Shui n. But him being at True Condensation 3rd Level and his opponent being at True Condensation 7th Level, I dont even need to think about the result. Well, is that Shui Yu of the Shui n an ordinary True Condensation 7th Level Cultivator? He is the Shui ns genius of his generation, moreover he is going to battle on the behalf of the Falling Star Academy, even ordinary True Condensation 9th Level cultivators, may not necessarily be his opponent. This Ning Xiao Cheng really knows how to cause trouble. I heard that he recently killed Shui Yus cousin. What? No wonder Shui Yu challenged him, he really wants to kill him. Well, I am sure Ning Xiao Cheng will note to battle, he will certainly give his score to one of the masters of the God Wind Academy. Moreover, he is the kind of person who seeks his own death, no one will help him. ...... Meng Jing Xiu coldly nced at Ning Cheng, this really was bringing a disaster to self, if she had known about this she would have forcibly taken his points, just why did she not know about this beforehand? She was waiting for Ning Cheng toe and beg in front of her, even if Ning Cheng brought his score, she really wanted to ridicule him when the time came. Ning Cheng would obviously not seek out Meng Jing Xiu, but he gently tapped at the nervous Ji Luo Fei and lightly said, Do not worry, you are not going to get rid of me that easily. After speaking those few words to Ji Luo Fei, Ning Cheng did not speak anymore, he knew that his strength whenparing back to the time in the Thunder Fall Desert, even he did not know how many more times powerful he was. This was not just because he had advance to the True Condensation 3rd Level, but mainly because his Meridians werepletely remoulded by the Mysterious Yellow Origin. Junior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, if you dont mind, I can help you out to go out and battle in your ce. A young man with thick eyebrows walked towards Ning Cheng, and said while sping his fist in front of him. After being introduced by Liu Xian, Ning Cheng knew who this young man was, he was the God Wind Academys strongest cultivator in the True Condensation Realm, Chu Yong Xin. What Chu Yong Xin meant with those words spoken towards Ning Cheng, was to let him give his score to Chu Yong Xin, in this case, it was because Ning Cheng was really not in a position to ept the challenge from Shui Yu. Ning Cheng also cupped his fist and said his thanks, Thank you Senior Apprentice Brother Chu, but I still will go out, that fellow looks like he really likes to eat people, I want to let him know that there are even people that can easily beat him. Ning Cheng then just smiled at Ji Luo Fei, and slowly moved towards the tform while carrying his Spear in his hands. Meng Jing Xiu looked puzzlingly at Ning Chengs back, she really did not think that Ning Cheng would dare to take the challenge, was he really stupid or really fearless? Seeing that Ning Cheng was approaching the tform, she was a bit speechless as she thought to herself, I actually ended up fighting seriously with an unreasonable fellow. Hey, that Ning Xiao Cheng is really going out to battle him, I know him, the one I stepped onto the tform with was Ning Xiao Cheng. So he really was a guy who looks for death with his own initiative.... Seeing Ning Cheng step onto the tform, a surprised voice sounded out. I estimate that he is still thinking that it would be the same as the preliminary exam,ing to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. Well, isnt that just a dream.... It is not necessarily a dream, maybe when that Ning Xiao Cheng goes up to battle, that Shui Yu from the Falling Star Academy might just suddenly fall asleep. Then Ning Xiao Cheng, would have easily won. You are courting death, daring to taunt Shui Yu, if this was heard by one of the people from the Shui n, youd just be a dead man. ...... As for the various opinions of the crowd, it looked like none of them had any opinions that Ning Cheng might just end up defeating Shui Yu. Chapter 0113 – The Axe Fist Surprises The Audience Chapter 0113 C The Axe Fist Surprises The Audience Unexpectedly, you really have the courage to walk up to your death, but I still look down on you. Shui Yu stared at Ning Cheng and spoke in a light voice. Carrying such a broken Spear, it really must be difficult for you. Shui Yu just gave a casual nce, and swept his eyes from Ning Cheng to the broken Spear in his hands, as the corners of his mouth revealed a touch of sarcasm. How couldnt his eyes not see that the Artefact in Ning Chengs hands was just a low grade Artefact? Although he hade on to the tform to challenge Ning Cheng, but it fact, he did not think that Ning Cheng would reallye up. His intention was, that Ning Cheng would not dare to take up his challenge. As long as Ning Cheng did not step onto the stage, he would have reached his intended goal. A guy who would fear battle, even if his cultivation was low, they would immediately be shamed by others, and no one would think of Ning Cheng highly ever again. The reason why the God Wind Academy hadnt said anything till now, ording to him, was because it was taking into ount of them being a 5 Star Academy. Otherwise, with Ning Chengs total score of 11 points in the two rounds, the God Wind Academy would definitely not get any kind of good exposure from being associated to Ning Cheng. Once Ning Cheng feared taking up his challenge, then God Wind Academy would definitely no longer give any protection to Ning Cheng. Even if Ning Cheng was killedter, the God Wind Academy would not say anything. A disciple who feared a challenge given to the Academy, if the Academy did not take its own initiative to punish him, it would only be a great kindness towards him, so why would they even bother with who killed Ning Cheng? Shui Yu thought that Ning Cheng would fear being challenged by him, so afterwards he could then leisurely kill Ning Cheng once this tournament was over, without any repercussions. Since you really have the courage to challenge your grandfather, I hope that you really are up to it. Ning Cheng said as if he really did not care about him. The corners of Shui Yus lips revealed a hint of sarcasm as he spoke, Ning Cheng, you arrived from the Ping Continent to the Hua Continent, apparently you do have a bit of ability, but its a pity that you really do not have eyes. If you had persuaded Luo Fei to go to my Shui n and apologize, you could have at least kept your worthless dogs life. But now, I not only want to kill you, moreover I also do not have any more interest in that Ji Luo Fei. Do you know what I will do to Ji Luo Fei once I take her back? You couldnt even imagine, she would have many, many.... Pa.... Shui Yu simply was not looking at Ning Cheng with his eyes. Before he could even finish speaking, he unexpectedly found Ning Chengs handing within the reach of his head. It had never urred to him, that Ning Cheng would actually p him, moreover p him on his face. Bang a loud sound could be heard, as Ning Cheng did not hold back his strength at all, and if it was not for Shui Yu having a bit of vignce towards him, and not gathering a bit of his True Essence beforehand, then that Shui Yus face would have been pped into nothingness from Ning Chengs p. Even if that was the case, Ning Chengs p almost ripped off half of Shui Yus face, as dozens of teeth along with a bit of his skin sshed out. Im going to swallow you...... Shui Yus eyes immediately became ferocious, as he waved his hands, immediately a pair of pitch ck giant scissors appeared in front of him. When the giant scissors came out, an overwhelmingly dark cloudpletely enveloped the entire tform blotting out the sky above it. Even the bystanders outside, could feel an intense chill, for them it was as if the giant scissors were cutting right through them. A violent True Essence and Killing Intent swept across the entire tform, it was obvious that Shui Yu was bing more and more keen on killing Ning Cheng. Not long ago, Meng Jing Xius halberd also gave out a simr kind of feeling, but the cutting speed of this giant scissors was very fast, which made people think that everything on the tform would be cut into pieces by it in just a moment. All the people believed that even if Ning Cheng had a very fast speed, he would still not be able to charge up the Spear that he carried on his back under the furious onught of this giant scissors. Facing this terrible giant scissors silhouette moving towards him. Ning Cheng truly did not resort to his Spear, it was not that Ning Cheng could not charge it with power within the time frame, but it was because Ning Cheng really did not intend to use his Spear from the beginning. He just used his fist to split it apart, even if it was Shui Yu in front of him, he was still not worthy for him to wield his Spear. Thats right. It truly was split apart. This was the Axe Fist, this was what Ning Cheng hadprehended in the Daan Forest from the Killing Intent that he had felt from the Great Axe, but it was a pity that he was not using an actual axe. He could only use his fists as an axe. Although this was not the first time that Ning Cheng had disyed his Axe Fist, moreover he had already disyed his Axe Fist several times before. But each time he could feel that the might and power of his Axe Fist was rising unceasingly. A horrifying Killing Intent erupted from Ning Cheng, instantly filling the gap between him and Shui Yu. Shui Yu did not feel Ning Chengs fist. But rather what he felt was the tremendous power of an axe falling on his head, it directly cut apart his giant scissors shadow. What a terrifying Killing Intent, no thats not right, it was actually Axe Intent. But he obviously did not see Ning Cheng using an axe, how could heprehend and use such a thing like the Axe Intent? But he could definitely felt a strong sense of Killing Intent as if he was facing a Great Axe. After his Axe Fist met the giant scissors shadow, it only paused slightly, before Ning Chengs Axe Fist, filled with his Killing Intent, mmed together with the real giant scissors. Ka Ka.... It was as if the giant scissors were just an ordinary iron being struck by a strong steel, as bursts after bursts of grating sound filled the air. Bang.... the raging True Essence fluctuations that Shui Yu was releasing were instantly cut apart by the shadow of his Axe Fist before sting Shui Yu along with his giant pair of scissors dozens of meters away, barely being able to stand. Ning Cheng also felt a bit of surge from his opponents True Essence, but under the cirction of his own True Essence, that surge of True Essence from his opponent immediately faded away. The people standing outside the tform were immediately shocked, even some of the masters and the judges sitting on the main altar, immediately crooned their necks in surprise. None of them could even think of such a result, before when Ning Cheng had pped Shui Yus face, they had already thought that he would definitely end up dying, but none of them even dared to believe that in such a head on battle, he would manage topletely overwhelm Shui Yu to the point that he could not even stand properly. Unexpectedly the odds are now even between them? Some of the people began discussing. Ahem, even odds? In your dreams, that Shui Yu was even hit by a p from that Ning Xiao Cheng, and was already falling. Shui Yu had used his move in anger a moment ago, which forced that Ning Cheng to hastily fire of his punch, moreover he did not even use the Spear on his back, how can you even say that he would not prevail? That Ning Xiao Cheng is really a cut above the others, I did not expect that Ning Xiao Cheng with a cultivation of True Condensation 3rd Level would actually be this strong. He wouldnt have deliberately lost the first two rounds, so that he would make the people sit straight and notice him, right? Stop talking, if this chance was given to you, would you deliberately try to lose? ...... There were all kinds of talk all over the ce, but now none of them said the Ning Xiao Cheng was courting death. But what no one knew, that what some people talked about Ning Cheng deliberately losing in the 1st and 2nd round was definitely true. Liu Xian immediately became excited once again as he stood up, he did not think that Ning Cheng would be this powerful. That fist that he punched out a moment ago unexpectedly contained a hint of the Killing Intent from a Great Axe, it was really a pity that Ning Cheng did not have an axe, if he had struck out with an axe, even if that Shui Yu did not die he would end up being severely injured in the very least. Even the dignified and majestic looking man sitting at the centre of the main altar who had presided over the 1sr and 2nd round had also opened his eyes. With his cultivation to such an extent, when Ning Cheng had thrown out his Axe Fist, he could perceive it and see without even opening his eyes, that that one punch contained within it a hint of the true Killing Intent of an axe. If one did not have a sufficientprehension ability, they would definitely not be able to pull off such a punch. The dignified looking man stared at Ning Cheng for some time, he thought that since Ning Xiao Cheng couldprehend a hint of the true meaning of the Killing Intent of the axe, so with his ability toprehend, he should not have scored only a single point in the 2nd round. What is that Ning Xiao Chengs Spiritual Root? The dignified looking man suddenly asked out aloud. At this time Liu Xian was not on the main altar, but there was still a person from the God Wind Academy there, it was the Essence Building woman, when she heard the dignified man ask, she quickly recovered her surprise and went forward and bowed respectfully before speaking, That Ning Xiao Cheng has an extremely powerful memory, but his Spiritual Root is only a Multi-Line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root. Before joining he had a lucky encounter with a Spiritual Essence Spring Pool back in the Daan Forest, and with the help of it advanced to the Early Stages of the True Condensation Realm. This dignified man nodded, listening to the words from this woman cultivator he understood why Ning Cheng only scored just a single point in theprehension exam. In the 2nd round of the tournament, the only way one could see the different pictures on the parchment was with the help of ones Spiritual Root. An ordinary multi line Spiritual Root would only be able to see just a single picture, even if he could see another change, if their ability to understand was not strong enough, they would not be able toprehend the contents of the picture behind it even if it was shown to them. When he heard that Ning Cheng was able to find a Spiritual Essence Spring Pool in the Daan Forest, he did not pay any more attention to him. Finding a Spiritual Essence Spring Pool, and then cultivating there for a few years, it would be surprising if he did not step into the True Condensation Realm. But if he knew that Ning Cheng only spent a few months in the Daan Forest beforeing here, he would have definitely not think what he was currently thinking. Well, it seems that I made a mistake once again. Ling Naixin from the Thunder Academy was staring at Ning Cheng in disbelief, suddenly she felt the errors in her two judgements previously werepletely wrong, she now could not see through that Ning Cheng. For such a powerful person, how could he only score a single point in the 2nd round? Shui Yu is not a match for that person, hurry up and call out to Shui Yu to throw in the towel. In the Shui ns Stall, an old man after seeing Shui Yu suffering defeat after defeat, immediately stood up and spoke out as his face constantly changed. He had just spoken, when Shui Yu once more plunged towards Ning Cheng. At this time Shui Yus heart waspletely filled with anger, he was the dignified genius of his generation in the Shui n, but he unexpectedly lost to a foreign cultivator that too at the Early Stages of the True Condensation Realm. If this was to spread out, how could Shui Yu have the face to appear in front of people ever again. This time hepletely charged his giant scissors, a huge silhouette emerged from it, immediately separating into two silhouettes on either side of Ning Cheng with the intention of not only sealing up his escape but also to cut him apart. The two silhouettes on the either side of Ning Cheng had not yet approached him, before they once again divided into four silhouettes. In the end, the entire tform was almost filled with the silhouettes from the giant pair of scissors. Running out of steam, Ning Cheng thought as he sneered, the morale of Shui Yu was already low, and even his movements were messy and full of openings. These innumerable silhouettes although looked powerful, but unfortunately for Shui Yu, his movements werepletely messed up, even his True Essence was extremely weak, so even though he had brought out innumerable silhouettes, it was merrily just for show. If only Shui Yu could adjust his mentality, he would have still been able to continue to fight with him for a while, but now, Ning Cheng did not even put him in his eyes. Ning Cheng had still not used his Spear, not to mention of using his 7 Pleiades Ice Needle. He just fired off a few of his Axe Fists in session, whichpletely split apart the innumerable silhouettes from Shui Yu that were surrounding him. Just a single Axe Fist Shadow sent out by Ning Cheng, with the agitation of his True Essence, was more than enough to split apart several of the silhouettes. Pa Pa Pa Pa.... As the Axe Fists punched out by him shed out with the silhouettes, the True Essence sted out with loud noises. The might of these explosions were amazing, but the other people understood that the showdown before was radically inferior to the one between the giant scissor silhouettes of Shui Yu and the Axe Fist of Ning Cheng Katcha.... The innumerable silhouettes disappeared one after another in just an instant, it was then that Shui Yu finally awoke, he finally realised that he really was not an opponent for Ning Cheng, if he was to fight again, he would die without a doubt. I admit.... Shui Yu just could not speak out the words, when Ning Cheng immediately jumped towards him, and sent out another punch, how could he let Shui Yu to concede defeat? Chapter 0114 – This Must Be Real Strength Chapter 0114 C This Must Be Real Strength Not to say that Shui Yupletely lost his fighting spirit at this time, even if Shui Yu was still full of fighting spirit, he could still notpletely block that Ning Chengs iing punch. However even if he still wanted to fight, Ning Chengs fist was still more than enough to kill him. Bang.... Ning Chengs punch immediatelynded on Shui Yu, as his Dantianpletely shattered, killing him on the spot. Little beast, you unexpectedly dare to kill Shui Yu, this old man will split your.... When he saw Ning Cheng punchnd on Shui Yu with an intent to kill, an angry voice sounded out, while simultaneously a grey shadow rushed onto the tournament tform like a sh of lightning. The Shui n was already rampant in the Mo Ze City, apart from the Falling Star Academy they did not fear many people, and as such they could basically do whatever they liked. Moreover, Shui Yu was the future n head of the Shui n, so for such a person to be directly killed by Ning Cheng on the tournament tform, waspletely uneptable for the Shui n. Unfortunately, the old man from the Shui n who rushed onto the tform had forgotten about what the round was about or even about the people who were presiding over it. He had not even reached the edge of the tform, when and overwhelming pressure descended over him. This elder of the Shui n immediately woke up, this was not ordinary tournament, but the Tournament hosted by the Seniors from the Intermediate ss Continents to select a 6 Star Academy. For him to dare to rush onto to the tform of this Tournament, was equivalent to courting death. Cold sweat immediately began to flow out in copious amounts from his back, he did not even have the time to look back and apologize, before a giant palm descended on him. Poof.... Only a bloody mist remained, the Elder from the Shui n could not even resist for a single fleeting moment before he was directly turned into a bloody mist before the giant palm even struck him. YOU DARE, a mere ant, trying to rush onto the tform of the Battle Round. It was not until they heard this sneering voice did theye to know that it was of the old man hosting the 3rd Round of the Tournament. After saying that, he once again fell back onto the main altar. The audience outside the square tform suddenly drew a cold breath, that Elder from the Shui n was a cultivator in the Essence Building Ream. Thus his cultivation was a lot superior than them. But in front of that old man from the Intermediate ss Continent, he could not even resist the pressure of that giant palm. Some of the people did not think much of the people from the Intermediate ss Continents. But at this time they could not help but shiver, nobody else dared to make a move anymore, because they all felt that they were simply prisoners in their hands. Now even if someone from the Shui n even dared to offend them, they would just end up being executed immediately on the spot. This kind of decisive attitude, was very shocking to them. Even the shock of Ning Cheng killing Shui Yu, whenpared to this, looked very weak. Ning Cheng on the surface looked very calm, but in his heart he was also very shocked like the other people. Of all the masters that he had seen. That old woman was definitely much more superior to all of them, but it was simply because the old woman did not think much of him, so he was not much concerned about that old woman. But at this time he understood, just how far away was he whenpared to these masters. The palm strike that the old man, who was presiding over the 3rd round, that he had sent out a moment ago, he could clearly see it, it was actually congealed from a massive amount of Killing Intent, directly arousing the Killing Intent in the surrounding. That Killing Intent was obviously not directed towards him, but it still aroused a kind of helpless feeling in his heart. If that p was directed towards him, he would definitely end up dead even before the palm reached him, just like that Elder from the Shui n. Sure enough. Strength was everything in this world. This old mans palm attack definitely had the strength of a cultivator of the Profound Core Realm behind it, and Ning Cheng knew that the Shui n also had a cultivator in the Profound Core Realm. If the Profound Core cultivator of the Shui n tried to kill him, even he would not get the opportunity to fight against him, not to say even trying to escape. Real Strength. This must be real strength. Ning Cheng clenched his fists, as he once again firmed his resolve, even if he had to pay a heavy cost for it. He had to enhance his own cultivation as soon as possible. He absolutely just cannot wait for death to arrive; he knew that the God Wind Academy would not protect him forever. Not to mention. He also knew that if the master of the Shui n personally came for him, even the God Wind Academy would not be able to protect him. Ning Cheng slowly heaved a sigh of relief. Putting away the things from Shui Yu, he simply lifted his hands and used it to cast a Fireball turning Shui Yus body to ash. Now that he had already offended them thoroughly, he would not hold back for even half a moment. Seeing Ning Cheng slowly walk down from the square tform, the entire za waspletely silent, but then immediately erupted in a cacophony of different noises. Ning Cheng not only killed Shui Yu, but even directly turned Shui Yu to ash. This type of courage and strength, previously, just who could have thought of it? At this time the score on the big projection Array Formation screen changed once more, in front of Ning Xiao Chengs name the score changed to 20 points, while Shui Yus namepletely vanished. At the same time, seven or eight more names also disappeared. However, although their names did disappear, it was because they had voluntarily given their scores to the other members of their Academies. For the people looking at the fights on the tform, this was basically unimportant, what was much more shocking to them was that a cultivator at the True Condensation 3rd Level could unexpectedly kill Shui Yu who was at True Condensation 7th Level. Everyone thought that it was because that Shui Yu had just advanced to the True Condensation 7th Level, so his cultivation was not yet consolidated, but what was more important was that this person at the True Condensation 3rd Level was just too vicious. Liu Xian waspletely surprised as he looked at Ning Cheng stepping down from the square tform, he had never thought that Ning Cheng would be this powerful, even that Shui Yu who was at True Condensation 7th Level was easily killed by him. Moreover, this was after Meng Jing Xius victory, that he had obtained which made him pleasantly surprised. Did his God Wind Academy really had the opportunity to finallye to the forefront? Meng Jing Xiu just curved her lips in a sneer, and said with disapproval in her voice, That Shui Yu is really unworthy of his name, he should have let the other powerful members of the Falling Star Academy to challenge him, humph....... When Liu Xian heard Meng Jing Xius words, he simply did not chose to answer. Of course he knew about this much clearer than Meng Jing Xiu herself, although Shui Yu was representing the Falling Star Academy, he was ultimately a person from the Shui n. To say that Shui Yu would seed for the Falling Star Academy, he was not convinced. As for Meng Jing Xu saying that Shui Yu was not worthy of his name, he also thought so, that Shui Yu had just advanced to the True Condensation 7th Level, so he had not yet consolidated his cultivation. The reason he had requested a ce, was entirely in order to kill Ning Cheng. But he had never thought that not only would he fail to kill Ning Cheng, but in the end he would end up digging his own grave. Well, that Shui Yu was really a bit too unworthy of his name, he just simply had a big name and nothing else to back it up. A deacon from the Falling Star Academy saw Shui Yu getting killed, and spoke after remaining silent for a while as he shook his head. He is the elite of the Shui n, and usually lets others work for him. Over time he just became ustomed to be a master, and never even thought of his own strength. In fact, he was just a person who reached his level by the help of pills, how high could his ability even be? Someone from the side said with a sneer. Meng Yu Jing who was also one of the representatives representing the Falling Star Academy, after seeing Ning Cheng kill Shui Yu, she also was looking at Ning Cheng intently. She always felt that Ning Cheng was somewhat familiar, but this kind of sense of familiarity with him, she just couldnt recall. Although this Shui Yu was unbearable, but this fellow Ning Xiao Cheng perfectly yed the role of pig eating the tiger. Maybe he really had a good reason why he scored bad grades in the first two rounds of the tournament. Che Zi Wen, Meng Yu Jing, although you are ranked in the top ranks of our Falling Star Academy, but in the final round of the tournament, each of the Academies will definitely bring out their masters. And since you two are the ones from our Academy who carry the most points, most of those people will try to challenge you, so you both have to be careful. Especially that Ning Xiao Cheng, you must pay special attention to him....... The Elder of the Profound Congealing Realm from the Falling Star Academy stood up, and spoke in a dignified way to the two people, a young man and a young woman, beside him. Yes, we will Master. The young man beside him nodded and said, he was the strongest cultivator of the True Condensation Realm from the Falling Star Academy, called Chi Zi Wen, the Falling Star Academy was depended mainly on him for this 3rd round. Meng Yu Jing finally woke up, she finally remembered who this guy Ning Xiao Cheng who killed Shui Yu was. A few days ago when she left the Mo Ze City together with Qi Ping, there was a man who passed them by, afterwards that person seemed to have sensed something and slowed down, letting them pass by him. At that time, she did not think of it much, as there were lots of peopleing and going on the road she was travelling on, so she did not care about that person, and only nced at him at random. Now she finally remembered, that person really was Ning Xiao Cheng. After Meng Yu Jing came to know that that person was Ning Xiao Cheng, she then thought that Ning Xiao Cheng had deliberately slowed down to be behind her, she really did not know if that Ning Xiao Cheng had done that to track her or if it was just a misunderstanding? Meng Yu Jings expression immediately turned cold, she had never thought that she would unexpectedly be followed. Every time that she went out, she would be extremely careful about it, moreover even when she went to the vige cottage, she was extremely careful about it. She was even confident that even an Essence Building Cultivator would not be able to track her to her small cottage in the vige nearby. But on that day she actually had a feeling of being spied upon, was it the same Ning Xiao Cheng who had followed her to the cottage and peeped on them from the outside? Regardless of whether it was true or not, this person definitely cannot be left alive. Of course, she didnt know that the reason why she did not find Ning Xiao Cheng outsider her cottage, was mainly because of the help from the old woman. ...... There were only two matches held in the 3rd Round till now, and in both of them the God Wind Academy was the one who actively went to battle, and moreover won both of the fights. As far as the score of the 3rd round was considered, the God Wind Academy already had 70 points in total, and was in the front of the rest of the 4 Academies. The talks about Ning Chengs performance in the za finally stopped after a cultivator stepped onto the stage for the 3rd fight. This cultivator looked extremely strong and was even tall to boot, this cultivator also had a ripped upper body which threatened to tear the clothes that he was wearing. This was one of the fellows with the cultivation of True Condensation 9th Level, Ning Cheng had already seen through his cultivation level from the distance. Clear Sky Academys Yuan Jian, asks for consultation from fellow brothers and sisters with my 10 points. This strong cultivator cupped his hands in front of him and had a slight smile on his face, it at least did not make the people who looked at him to not hate him. That Yuan Jian had just finished speaking, when someone immediately came flying onto the tform, this person was also an exceptionally tall person, as soon as he came onto tform, he immediately took out his Artefact and said, I am Ge Ye from the Thunder Academy, also carrying 10 points...... As he was speaking, this Ge Ye had already started waving his Flying Sword Artefact, and brought out a dense sword curtain. Yuan Jian did not seem to expect that Ge Ye would start immediately, but he did not show any nervousness on his face, and immediately brought out his own Artefact, a copper mallet. This copper mallet in his hands was shing with golden light, when it collided with Ge Yes sword curtain, a tform almost burst open, forming many crackling light shes, which truly looked amazing. Ge Ye also had the cultivation of True Condensation 9th Level, and was simr to Yuan Jians cultivation. Ning Cheng could sense from those two, that their grip over their True Essence was really deep. Moreover, both of them were evenly matched, and thus the winner would not be decided in a short amount of time. Although this fight was evenly matched, but the overflow of True Essence from their fighting was really wonderful to look at. But after Ning Cheng looked at them for a moment, he felt that there was simply no meaning nor anything to be gained from their fight, those two men may look powerful with their formidable cultivation level, but they would not even be able to defeat Meng Jing Xiu. Yuan Jian seemed to the most powerful person representing the Clear Sky Academy in this round, so if Yuan Jian lost, the Clear Sky Academy would really be in a very dangerous position against the other 5 Star Academies. This evenly matched pair fought for a full half an hour, just when the others were thinking that both of them would still continue for another half an hour, Ge Ye suddenly brought up his sword and casted out another sword curtain. But this sword curtain quickly condensed into a giant sword, and just like cutting an egg, this giant sword tore through the mallet shadows brought out by Yuan Jian. Poof.... blood sprayed out of his mouth, before dying Yuan Jian had not thought for a single moment that this Ge Ye who was evenly matched with him till now would bring out such a formidable technique. Thunder Academys Ge Ye carrying 20 points challenges God Wind Academys Chu Yong Xin....... Most of the people did not think that Ge Ye would not even wait for a single breath after killing Yuan Jian, before immediately challenging the God Wind Academy. Chapter 0115 – The Bloody Tournament Platform Chapter 0115 C The Bloody Tournament tform The words spoken by Ge Ye immediately caused amotion, the two participants from the previous rounds had got down to rest after they won their respective fights. But this Ge Ye from the Thunder Academy wanted to continue without even taking a single break, he did not even wait for a single breath of time before issuing another challenge. Just this point alone made the others feel that he was really domineering and awesome. The corpse of Yuan Jian from the Clear Sky Academy was still lying on the tform bleeding, but he still continued on to issue another challenge, this type of scene immediately roused the people to unconsciously support him. Just as Ge Ye challenged the God Wind Academy, the people standing outside the tform immediately began to cheer loudly. They did not show any kind of sympathy, or pity for the fallen. Yuan Jian was killed, it showed that he was weak, no one would show sadness for the death of a weak person. They hade here to watch the tournament, they came here to experience excitement, what they wanted to see the most was blood. Ning Cheng frowned, Chu Yong Xin was regarded as the number one person from the God Wind Academy in the True Condensation Realm, and was also the person who was considered as the main strength of the Academy in the 3rd round. Ning Cheng was not sure about Chu Yong Xins strength, but he knew that Ge Ye who had condensed his numerous Sword Lights first into his sword curtain then into a giant sword, was extremely powerful. If one were to hurry up, then they would only have a small chance of evading it. Of course, now that he had taken a look at this guys strength, he did not fear him. Ning Cheng had a bit of favourable impressions towards Chu Yong Xin, before Chu Yong Xin had asked him immediately out of concern towards him, and offered to help him deal with Shui Yu. Ning Cheng had only thought till here, before he saw Chu Yong Xing move towards him, Junior Apprentice Brother Ning, I never thought that you would be so powerful. This Ge Ye and I have a lot of grudges between us, moreover this person is cruel and merciless. Before when he killed that Yuan Jian, he had used a new sword technique, so he would definitely use it another time against me. After seeing that, I am not sure that I could win against him...... Senior Apprentice Brother Chu, if you dont mind, Id like to help you take care of him. Ning Cheng thought that Chu Yong Xin wanted to ask his help. And immediately spoke up voluntarily. Before Chu Yong Xin had offered to help him in his fight. Now he was helping Chu Yong Xin in his fight. As such he did not show half a shred of hesitation before he spoke. Chu Yong Xin gave a faint smile, Junior Apprentice Brother Ning, you and I are simr to each other, I am not someone who fears a fight. I came to find you, not because I wanted to ask your help, but because I do not have the confidence to win. Once I lost, I know that I will definitely be killed by that person. I still have a younger brother in the God Wind Academy, called Chu Yong Ren. In case something goes wrong. I hope that you can help me look after him for 1 or 2.... Senior Apprentice Brother Chu you can rest assured.... Ning Cheng said without any hesitation, he knew that Chu Yong Xin thought highly of him. Because of this, he did not hesitate to say these kinds of words. Chu Yong Xin just nodded, as he moved towards the tournament tform. However, before Chu Yong Xin arrived before the tform, a shadow of a personnded in front of him on the tform. Then this man on the tform immediately spoke to Ge Ye in a cold voice, Ge Ye, I am afraid that you will die in the hands of the others, so I want to challenge you first. If you cannot ept, I will withdraw immediately. Ha Ha Ha, I, Ge Ye, will never be afraid of a trivial True Condensation 8th Level junior. I will first kill you, then kill that Chu Yong Xin by the time it takes to prepare a pot of tea.... Listening to the person in front of him who had snatched his challenge, Ge Ye simply roared withughter. He did not care about it for even half a moment. Ge Yes words caused a lot of people to be unsatisfied. Crazy, he was simply too crazy. He himself was only at True Condensation 9th Level, but called the other True Condensation 8th Level cultivator as a junior. It was simply ridiculous. This challenger who was called a junior by Ge Ye, did not pay any mind to it, but turned to Chu Yong Xin and cupped his fists in front of him, and said, Brother Chu, I must avenge my Senior Apprentice Brother Yuan, could I please ask Brother Chu for his permission. Chu Yong Xin justughed and said, For Brother Situ to ask for taking revenge, although I was called out first, this Chu Yuan Xin is still willing to cheer for Brother Situ.... Seeing Chu Yong Xin return, Ning Cheng slightly rxed. He had a hunch that Chu Yong Xi may not be a match for Ge Ye. As for the person who came to challenge Ge Ye, Ning Cheng also knew a bit about him, he was Situ Yu of the Clear Sky Academy. He had the cultivation of True Condensation 8th Level, and even scored a total of 45 points in the previous written exams, which can even be considered as a good score. He even scored a good score for the Clear Sky Academy in the second round too. The tournament at this point of time was full of the smell of gunpowder between the disciples of the different academies. Ge Ye had even directly said that he would first kill Situ Yu and then kill Chu Yong Xin, but that Situ Yu in response said that he wanted to take revenge on him, this basically was not even a challenge. This kind of bloody conflict that could potentially end with killings, had aroused the passion of the people who were watching the fights. But as for the old man who was managing the round, he did not seem to mind it at all, to him, who died and who lived simply did not matter. What was most important to him was, who got more points in the end. After Situ Yu came on to the stage, he first cupped his fist towards the audience and said, Clear Sky Academys Situ Yu, challenges Ge Ye with 40 points. As Situ Yu finished, he did not wait for Ge Ye to speak, and immediately brought both his hands up, sending out a handprint that seemed to have blotted out the sky towards Ge Ye. This was the first time that someone with a score of more than 10 points came onto the stage, moreover he was even the challenger. As soon as the audience heard his words, they immediately understood what was the matter. The Clear Sky Academy was mainly dependent of Situ Yu and Yuan Jian for the 3rd round, thus the scores of the other people were given to Situ Yu. Now that Yuan Jian was killed, so if Situ Yu lost, then it would be equivalent to Clear Sky Academy being eliminated ahead of time. When Situ Yu began, Ning Cheng immediately understood that this person was definitely not a simple fellow. This persons cultivation was definitely much more powerful than that of Yuan Juan, no wonder the Clear Sky Academy had put all its points on Situ Yu rather than Yuan Jian. Although Situ Yu seemed to have brought out a handprint that seemed to have blotted out the sky, but in fact the people with a powerful Spiritual Consciousness could see clearly, that Situ Yu had actually brought out arge Type Artefact. Moreover, thisrge Type Artefact was actually very pale in colour, as such under the handprint that seemed to have covered the sky, it could not be seen clearly. Ge Ye and Situ Yu were standing opposite to each other, so when Situ Yu brought out hisrge, he could immediately feel its might at once. He immediately brought up his sword Artefact in his hands and casted out a densely packed sword curtain. However, this time when his sword curtain met Situ Yusrge, it was not as rxed as when he was using it to fight with Yuan Jian. The numerous rays of his sword curtain werepletely blocked by therge, before they shimmered andpletely disappeared, they basically could not even explode. Ge Ye, whose body was in the centre of it, certainly knew his own situation, he could see and feel that his sword curtain had been fully absorbed by the opposite partys huge Type Artefact. For him, if he could not get rid of the opposite partys huge in the shortest possible time, then even if he could recreate his giant sword, he would still lose. Ge Ye wanted to get rid of the other persons huge type Magic Weapon, he knew that he would not have another opportunity to do so again, the sword curtains around him were making intermittent howling sounds in his surroundings, and in just a twinkling of an eye gathered together. Just like when he was fighting against Yuan Jian, these innumerable sword curtains had gathered together to immediately form a giant white sword. But this giant sword simply could not even reach the body of Situ Yu, before it waspletely restrained by Situ Yus giant. Even though that giant sword was struggling violently in the, but it still could not get itself out from therge. Ge Yes heart immediately sank, he did not think that Situ Yus would be so strong. Not waiting for him to continue to bring out another such giant sword, this time a stream of light exploded out from Situ Yus hand. The moment the stream of light exploded out, it instantly covered the entire tform with a scorching hot heat. Even though Ning Cheng was standing far away from the tform, he could still feel the intense heat. Bang Ge Ye hastily brought out a round shield as he escaped from the light explosion by rolling away like a ball. Because the round shield was not yet fully charged, so when it was hit by the explosion from the stream of light, it immediately cracked open. Ge Ye was retreating rapidly, but at this time, at a speed even faster than himself, a rainbow like stream of light appeared under Ge Yes feet. A light sound could be heard, as Situ Yus feet were directly taken straight towards this rainbow, while at this time the stream of light had already bypassed the round shield, and continued to bombard on Ge Yes body. Not long ago this Ge Ye had been too arrogant as he killed Yuan Jian from the Clear Sky Academy, but at this time even the terrified look had still notpletely formed on his face, before he waspletely blown to dust by Situ Yus stream of light. The smoothness and the speed of fight, was not something the eyes of the people in the audience could take it all in. When the others finally saw the scene clearly, Ge Ye had already been killed. The za immediately became silent for a moment, but then once again erupted in a loud discussion. Ning Cheng frowned and stared at Situ Yu, this Situ Yu was simply too strong. This person was not only strong, but even his thoughts were prudent and meticulous. That Thunder Academys Ge Yes every step was already calcted by him beforehand, moreover he had also prepared that rainbow light before to make a sneak attack. Moreover, even he did not see how he had set up that rainbow light beforehand to sessfully execute the sneak attack. At this time on the Projection Array Formation Screen broadcasting the score of the 3rd round, the score in front of Situ Yus name changed to 60 points, while Ge Yes name disappeared without a trace. Situ Yu calmly put away his spoils of war, as he stepped down from the tform with the body of Yuan Jian, and immediately returned to the Stall of the Clear Heart Academy. Since Ge Yes body had already turned into a pile of ash, so no one went to recover it. Brother Ning, it seems that with my cultivation it would be difficult for me to beat those people, I think that it would be better to give you my score. After Min Rui from the God Wind Academy saw the three bloody fights, his heart was already beating like a drum. He was very clear on his own cultivation, if he wanted to win in the next round, then he would have to face countless hardships and sufferings. Liu Xian also walked up to them, as he nodded and said, What Min Rui said is correct, since we have Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu, you really made the right choice. Meng Jing Xiu who was still standing by the side pursed her mouth, it was apparent that Min Rui not giving her his score caused her to feel a bit dissatisfied. Although Ning Cheng won a fight, but the fact was that she also won a fight. Moreover, her opponent had the cultivation of Peak Stage True Condensation 8th Level, while Ning Chengs opponent was just a guy who had just advanced to the True Condensation 7th Level. After Min Rui finished speaking, Liu Xian looked at the remaining True Condensation 8th Level cultivator from their side, Gu Hong, and asked, Gu Hong, what about you? Gu Hong said very simply, Deacon Liu, I decided to try my hand out, but I still am a bit unwilling in my heart. After Gu Hong finished, he cupped his fists in front of Liu Xian, and quickly walked out of the God Wind Academys Station, and jumped onto the tform, as he called out in a loud voice, God Wind Academys Gu Hong, meets the heroes here with his 10 points. Ge Ye had in Yuan Jian, and then in just a blink of an eye was killed by Situ Yu, so the restlessness and excitement in the people spectating had not yet subsided, so when Gu Hong came on to the tform to ept challenges, it immediately attracted everybodys attention. Gu Hong was neither famous, nor was his cultivation that high. Gu Hong only had the cultivation of Peak Stage True Condensation 8th Level. The reason why the people outside the tform focused on Gu Hong, was because Gu Hong was from the God Wind Academy, and so far, he was the person with the highest cultivation from the God Wind Academy to step on to the stage. The earlier two people from the God Wind Academy, whether it was Ning Xiao Cheng with the cultivation of True Condensation 3rd Level or Meng Jing Xiu with the cultivation of True Condensation 6th Level, both of them had an easy win. So when Gu Hong from the God Wind Academy with the cultivation of True Condensation 8th Level came on to the tform, it immediately attracted the attention of numerous people in the audience. Chapter 0116 – The Real Master Chapter 0116 C The Real Master Ning Cheng was not much optimistic about Gu Hong, as whispered in a low voice to Ji Luo Fei who was standing beside him, Luo Fei, before I also thought that with my cultivation we would be able to escape if we used everything we had to escape, moreover we would be even be able to protect each other. But then after I saw that old man in the Profound Core Realm easily p that Essence Building Elder from the Shui n into nihility, I knew that my thinking was really wrong. With my cultivation, not only would I fail to protect both of us, but we arent even considered as ants in their eyes. Ji Luo Fei immediately grabbed Ning Chengs hands, she had always been worried about the Shui n in her heart. Although Ning Cheng was powerful, but he only had the cultivation of True Condensation 3rd Level, as for her own cultivation, she was only at Qi Gathering 6th Level, which was far away from him. Luo Fei, before I did not care much about entering the Angry Axe Valley, but this time I must obtain a quota to enter the Angry Axe Valley. Only when we be powerful, will our words carry some weight behind it. At this point, Ning Cheng also took hold of Ji Luo Feis hand, as he looked into her eyes and said, Luo Fei, after this Tournament concludes, I estimate that the person from the Intermediate ss Continent will take the top 20 participants from the Hua Continent and immediately leave to the Angry Axe Valley. Although I have a way to help you also get a spot, but your cultivation is simply too low, and as to the circumstances inside the Angry Axe Valley, it is something that even I do not know about. So I hope that you can hide in the God Wind Academy as you go into closed door cultivation to increase your strength, Deacon Liu has promised me a single isted Immortals Cave for cultivation in the God Wind Academy, you can use that cave to live in for the time being, and wait for me toe back. Ji Luo Fei replied in a small voice, I understand that you have to go to the Angry Axe Valley, dont worry, Ill wait for you in the God Wind Academy. Ji Luo Fei had also secretly made up her mind and heart, she firmly decided to diligently increase her cultivation as soon as possible and shorten the distance between her and Ning Cheng. She was well aware of Ning Chengs point of view, the God Wind Academy was not a ce for them to hole up, in this world if one wanted to live in dignity, then they had to do everything that they could to increase their own strength. ...... The God Wind Academy. Ha Ha. It sounds like it has a lot of power and prestige, I, Lian Hao, will take you on. Azy voice drifted out, and everyones eyes immediatelynded on a man with ck hair which trailed down to his shoulders and had triangr shaped eyes, as he jumped on to the tform. After the mannded on top of the tform, he gave a sideways nce at Gu Hong and said, Originally I wanted to fight against Brother Ge Ye, but he ended up being killed by Situ Yu before even fighting Chu Yong Xin, since you havee up here to court death, so for the time being I will help you. Although 10 points are very less. But at least they still are points. Remember that although I am carrying 20 points toe challenge you, it is still cheap for the likes of you. When Gu Hong heard Lian Hao talk as if he did not even put him in his eyes, his face immediately flushed, he did not speak anymore, as he immediately took a cruel looking tiger spade in his hands as he threw it out. When Lian Hao saw Gu Hong begin, he also simultaneously raised his hands, as an enormous seal appeared on it. The giant seal immediately expanded to a radius of nearly 10 feet, as it exploded on to Gu Hong. All the people who were cultivators knew, that a Magic Weapon which did not seem to be powerful on the surface, more often than not, their attacks would actually be very powerful. However, the Spiritual Sense or the Spiritual Consciousness required to control it would also have to be formidable. If the persons cultivation of Spiritual Sense was bad, they would primarily choose knives, swords, Spears and other Artefacts that could easily bring out their Killing Intent. Of course this was not an absolute. Like any Magic Weapon, one cannot judge their strength just from their appearance. However, for the cultivators of the True Condensation Realm, judging whether that cultivators Spiritual Sense was strong or weak was determined by how they used their Magic Weapons, it was the most informative way to judge. Boom....... Katcha...... The gigantic seal collided with the Violent Tiger Spade of Gu Hong, but the True Essence surrounding the Violent Tiger Spade could hardly withstand the attack before exploding with a huge boom. In just a brief exchange, Gu Hong was thrown out dozens of meters away, as he spouted out several mouthfuls of blood. If not for the Violent Tiger Spade, he would have almost lost half his life. He knew after the exchange that he was absolutely not a match against him, Gu Hongs heart turned cold, as he hurriedly tied to throw in the towel to admit defeat. But he immediately discovered that his own voice was also unexpectedly suppressed by the True Essence from that giant seal of his opponent, basically his voice could not be heard by anyone no matter how much he tried. That Lian Hao wanted to kill him, Gu Hong immediately understood that point, but at this point of time he was feeling an endless regret, he should not havee up on stage to show off his false bravado. This was basically not a ce where he could just show off his ability, this was a ce where one could lose his life, regretfully he only understood it at this moment, if one did not have enough strength, then they should definitely note up on the tform at all. At this moment Lian Haos giant seal smashed down for the second time, Gu Hongs heart waspletely full of terror at this point, as he reluctantly resorted to his Violent Tiger Spade one again. Perhaps because he knew that he was in a hopeless situation as such the True Essence that he brought out was several times much more powerful than before, at such a critical time the Violent Tiger Spade immediately made a noise as if it was directly tearing the air apart, as it once more exploded directly onto the giant seal. Ka.... a loud snapping sound could be heard, as the giant seal directly descended onto Gu Hong without even a moment of pause, as he once again spouted a mouthful of blood. This time Lian Hao did not give any more opportunities to Gu Hong, as he rushed forwards and directly kicked Gu Hongs chest with his foot. When Gu Hong was struck by the kick from Lian Haos foot, he wanted to desperately lift up his head to ask why did he not want him to throw in the towel, it really was a pity, he simply no longer had any strength left. He could only lift his head halfway, before finally dropping onto the edge of the tform. When Gu Hong was thrown out for the first time, the entire audience could see that he was not a match for him and would definitely lose, moreover some of the audience also noticed that Lian Haos True Essence was preventing Gu Hong from throwing in the towel. But even if that was the case, no one dared toe forward to block Lian Haos onught, everyone had learned from the mistake of the Essence Building Elder from the Shui n, so no one dared to interfere with the excessive action that they were seeing in front of them. Ning Cheng frowned, he had killed Shui Yu, but that was because Shui Yu wanted to kill him, but Gu Hong had clearly wanted to surrender, moreover he and Lian Hao also did not have a great enmity, so why did Lian Hao wanted to kill Gu Hong that badly? Plus, in this round of the tournament, except the first person who went against Meng Jing Xiu, every one of the opponents ended up dead. This was no tournament; this was simply a fight to death. But this kind of bloody atmosphere between the 5 Star Academies in this Tournament was something that was very popr among the audience, and was making the audience to be even more frenzied and crazy. People who came to watch the matches here, hoped that the tournament would turn even more bloody, no one wanted to see a in water like fight, without even a hint of a ripple. The people participating in this Tournament were the elite disciples of their respective Academies, so the main purpose for the people toe here was to see the bloody fights between these elite disciples. After Lian Hao killed Gu Hong, he unexpectedly turned out just like Ge Ye from before and did not step down from the tform, but continued to stand on the tform with an expressionless face as he spoke, Thunder Academys Lian Hao with 30 points challenges God Wind Academys Chu Yong Xin. Liu Xian found thispletely unbearable, and he immediately spoke up to Chu Yong Xin, Nephew Yong Xin, you are not a match for Lian Hao.... Chu Yong Xin immediately cupped his fists in front of Liu Xian and said, Deacon Liu, even if I have to lose, I will still give it my utmost, otherwise getting defeated without even fighting, it will definitely leave traces in my heart. In thest minute, if there really is no hope for winning, I will immediately admit defeat in advance, please rest assured Deacon Liu. Deacon Liu, we have no quarrel with the Thunder Academy and neither did our God Wind Academy kill Ge Ye. Why must that Lian Hao insist on making things difficult for our Academy? Another Elder at the Essence Building Realm from the God Wind Academy asked in confusion as everyone in the tournament wanted to challenge them one after another, as he looked at Lian Hao for an answer. Liu Xian also stared at Lian Hao, and slowly said, Even I dont understand why, logically speaking, if he wanted to challenge someone, then he should challenge that Situ Yu. As the few people began speaking among themselves, the fight between Chu Yong Xin and Lian Hao had already started on the tform. Lian Hao immediately brought out his giant seal, and almost the entire tform was covered up by giant seals shadow. Even the Restriction ced on the enormous square tform, was shaking from the True Essence undtionsing from it. What Chu Yong Xin was using was a wide backed purple knife,pared with the ability that Gu Hong disyed as he fought, it was not much different, but at least Chu Yong Xin was able to use a round shield to protect himself, as a result the purple knife and the giant seal ended in a stalemate. But everyone knew that if this continued like this, then Chu Yong Xin would also walk in the footsteps of Gu Hong. After half an hour, Chu Yong Xin felt that his own True Essence was beginning to grow weak and was insufficient to continue, moreover using his Spiritual Sense to simultaneously control the purple knife and the round shield was already proving to be very difficult for him. He knew that he had to throw in the towel, at least that way he would only lose a bit of face. At this time, Chu Yong Xin suddenly felt that the giant seal expanded once more to almost double its size, not only that, a ck triangr streamer was being waved about by Lian Hao. Chu Yong Xin immediately felt that his breath was being impeded, even his Spiritual Sense was beginning to go stiff, he understood immediately that he could not go on against that Lian Hao, he did not wait for the opponent to make any other move, as he hurriedly called out, I admit defeat. However, his voice was immediately swept away by the ck triangr streamer, while simultaneously the giant seal also doubled in size once again, as its speed of descent also increased several times than before, as it fell directly onto the round shield in Chu Yong Xins hands. Chu Yong Xin who was hit on the round shield immediately flew out, Chu Yong Xin immediately backed up quickly, he actually could not think that Lian Hao could already control his giant seal to such an extent. But the giant seal after hitting the round shield, suddenly turned towards his direction, and immediately rumbled towards Chu Yong Xin. Poof.... A continuous bloody arrow shot out one after another, as Chu Yong Xing could not even get another chance to once again throw in the towel, before he was simrly killed by Lian Hao. In just a short period of time, the God Wind Academy lost two people to just Lian Hao alone. Prior to this, the God Wind Academy who had attained a continuous and dazzling winning streak, the contrast between the two were simply too much. Ning Cheng looked at Lian Hao from afar, but did not speak. The sinisterness of Lian Hao was far worse whenpared to that Situ Yu, moreover it seems that Lian Hao has made up his mind to kill off the people from the God Wind Academy. The techniques that this guy had shown till now seemed to be endless, Ning Cheng simply could not determine if he still had a few more tricks up his sleeves. He seemed to know that Ning Cheng was looking at him, so Lian Hao turned towards Ning Cheng and unexpectedly gave a faint smile towards him. Ning Cheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart, this person probably saw him identally a moment ago, but his smile carried a strong Killing Intent behind it. This man had definitelye for him, Ning Cheng immediately understood it the first time. Lian Hao had killed both Gu Hong and Chu Yong Xin, it was highly likely because they were involved with him, this person wanted to kill everyone else from the God Wind Academy first, before finally challenging him. Nobody expected that Chu Yong Xin, who did not die in the hands of Ge Ye, but rather ended up dying in the hands of Lian Hao. Ning Cheng thought about this for a long while, but simply could not figure it out, just how did he ended up offending Lian Hao. Just why was this person giving out such a strong Killing Intent towards him? However, at this point, since Ning Cheng was the kill target of this person, then he will definitely not wait for him, and certainly would not be kind or polite towards him. The participant rankings on the Third Array Formation Projection Screen once again changed, the first person was still the Clear Sky Academys Situ Yu with 60 points. Lian Hao who had killed two people, plus with his own 20 points, at this time his score also advanced to 40 points. But Ning Cheng had 30 points, at this point of time he was holding the third position on the scoreboard of this round. There were now only nine people with scores on the scoreboard of this round, Clear Sky Academy C Situ Yu C 60 points, Thunder Academy C Lian Hao with 40 points and Ling Naixin with 20 points. God Wind Academy C Ning Cheng with 30 points, Meng Jing Xiu with 20 points. Luo Hou Academy C Fang Xin with 30 points, Pu Li Xin with 10 points. Falling Star Academy C Meng Yu Jing with 20 Points, and Chi Zi Wen with 20 points. All of the people knew, that even though the 3rd round has just begun, Lian Hao was the real master. Chapter 0117 – Beaten Back To Their Original Place Chapter 0117 C Beaten Back To Their Original ce Hey, big brother is that really you, you also came to the Mo Ze City of the Hua Continent? A simple and honest young man ran in front of Ning Cheng, and said with a surprise. This young man looked very sturdy, moreover his voice also had a husky tone to it, and he was already at Qi Gathering 7th Level. Ha Ha, Yue Yuan Hua, long time no see. When Ning Cheng saw that simple and honest young man, his heart was immediately filled with a bit of goodwill towards him. This young man was also the same as him, and treasured his younger sister very much, because of this, he had even agreed to part with the pair of pearl hair clips that he had purchased earlier. Hey, how do you know that I am called Yue Yuan Hua? The young man scratched his head as he asked. He had initially found Ning Cheng in the Nan Yuan City, and had asked Ning Cheng to part with the pair of pearl hair clips that he had purchased so that he could give it to his younger sister who had liked it very much,ter because he had joined the Clear Heart Academy, he could not find the opportunity to thank Ning Cheng, now that he saw Ning Cheng, he immediately became happy and pleased. Ning Cheng just lightly tapped on his shoulders as he spoke, You and I have different Spiritual Roots, moreover your Pure Thunder Type Spiritual Root is very famous in the Nan Yuan City, how could I not know your name? Ning Cheng was also secretly surprised in his heart by the different speeds of cultivation for different Spiritual Roots, this time, not only Yue Ying was already at Qi Gathering 6th Level, but even Yue Yang Hua also had surpassed Qi Gathering 6th Level. Ning Cheng, does he really have Pure Thunder Type Spiritual Root? Liu Xian was immediately shocked and asked, while simultaneously looking at Yue Yuan Hua with glowing eyes. Ning Cheng just chuckled and spoke, Deacon Liu, not only does he have a Pure Thunder Spiritual Root, but even his younger sister has a Pure Wind Spiritual Root. However, both the brother and sister are disciples of the Falling Star Academy, so for then to join our Academy is simply not possible. Liu Xian sighed, as he thought in his heart that even though they had found a couple of good seedlings for the God Wind Academy, but in front of someone with Pure Spiritual Roots, they were basically not worth discussing. Yue Yang Hua did not care about the talk between Ning Cheng and Liu Xian. He immediately waved his hands at the distant Falling Star Academys stall. Little Ying. Come here, Ill introduce big brother to you. Although Yue Ying had joined the Falling Star Academy, but she always paid attention to her elder brother Yue Yang Hua. Her elder brother was very straightforward, but he was not as smart as her. At this time when she heard her brothers call, she immediately hurried over from the Falling Star Academys Stall. When the people from the Falling Star Academy saw Yue Ying and Yue Yuan Huae towards the God Wind Academy, they hastily sent two people to follow them. Ji Yao He really did not want to talk again to her niece, but she also had to follow the orders from the Seniors of the Academy, and had toe look after the brother-sister pair. After Ning Cheng killed Shui Yu. She could affirm that Ning Chengs body really had a secret to it. But it was really a pity, that even if she told this secret to the Shui n, she would not get any benefits. She could only think, and wait for Ning Cheng toplete with this tournament, and then find Ning Cheng alone and then forcefully pry out the answer from him. Younger sister, the pair of pearl hair clips that I gave you was given to me by this big brother, this person is really very good. Yue Yuan Hua seeing his younger sister Yue Yinge over, hurriedly pointed out to Ning Cheng and introduced him to his younger sister. Yue Ying showed a faint smile and said, I know him well, he is called Ning Cheng. We met in Nan Yuan City. At that time, you were not there. Initially when she saw Ning Cheng at that time, she was very surprised but a bit pleased. But after listening to Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun about the character of Su Zhu. Her view of Ning Cheng plummeted straight down. In her mind, Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yuns words were much more credible than Ning Chengs words. Moreover, regardless of Ning Chengs exnation, he was found together with Su Zhu, which was none of her business. However, Yue Ying was not a person who liked to gossip, so she did not tell her elder brother about these things. Yue Yuan Hua frowned, and suddenly said, Little Ying, Grandpa had always taught us to show our gratitude, moreover this matter is also not a small one. Although he only gave us the pair of pearl hair clips, but he had never asked anything in return, but rather gave what he really cherished the most to us for free, at the very least you should thank him as a family. Yue Yings face immediately turned red, she suddenly felt that her way of thinking was very wrong. Regardless of what Ning Cheng did, that was his character. But at least he had really given that pair of pearl hair clips to her elder brother himself, that too without anypensation or any kind of conditions. Before she was under the influence of the words spoken by Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun, and as a result had actually disdained Ning Cheng, but she knew that it really was not right. Thinking about this, Yue Ying hurriedly bowed to Ning Cheng showing proper etiquette as she spoke, Many thanks to Brother Ning for delivering that pair of pearl hair clips, this Yue Yang had been a bit rude to you before. Seeing Yue Ying in this manner, Yue Yang Hua also grinned and said, Ha Ha, Brother Ning, my younger sister is not very smart, as such sometimes she unexpectedly forgets to think. Ning Cheng was somewhat feeling funny in his heart, Yue Ying wasnt smart? Does this elder brother really does not know just how many times smarter she was whenpared to him? Yue Ying, Yue Yang Hua, this is currently the time for the tournament, hurry up and return back to our Academys stall together with me. Ji Yao He spoke calling the two people back. Yue Yuan Hua hastily said, Brother Ning had brought my Little Ying a pair of pearl hair clips that your younger sister really liked, I willter bring Little Ying to thank you properly. Ji Yao He sneered and said, I only know that in the Cang Le City, Ning Cheng was the only one who, oh, thats right, there was that missing housekeeper. When did Ning Cheng even have a younger sister? I have never heard of such a thing. At the moment the tournament is very fierce, you have to hurry up ande with me back to stall. Ji Yao He obviously implied that Ning Cheng was lying, if not for the two siblings qualifications that went against the heavens, Ji Yao He would never speak in such an amiable manner as if they were her own rtives. She also deliberately looked at Ji Luo Fei, to convey the intention that Ning Cheng was obviously lying. But Ji Luo Fei who was standing beside Ning Cheng, did not even have a single change in her eyes, it was obvious that the words spoken by her were simply like the air in front of Ji Luo Feis eyes. Ji Yao He, as such, disgruntledly left with the two siblings, as the new fight on the tform was alsoing to an end. The Falling Star Academys True Condensation 9th Level Disciple Chi Zi Wen had defeated Lou Huo Academys True Condensation 9th Level Disciple Pu Li Xin. Chi Zi Wens score also went up to 30 points, as Pu Li Xin was eliminated from the tournament. Although this was the second consecutive fight on the tform, but still nobody had died yet since that time. After several fights, the only person from the Luo Huo Academy left was Fang Xin, Fang Xin had 30 points on him, which was given to him by the other participants of the Luo Huo Academy. This 3rd round among the 5 Star Academies was the worst round out of the 3 rounds, once a person lost, it was most likely that he would also lose their life, and besides in this round, there were masters asmon as the clouds in the sky. Whether it was Clear Heart Academys Situ Yu or Thunder Academys Lian Hao, both of them had a really powerful presence. Even the most powerful True Condensation 9th Level disciple from the God Wind Academy, in front of Lian Hao, although hested for a long time, but was in the end directly killed off by him. As for the rest participants who were weak, they simply gave their scores to the most powerful members of their respective Academies. Finally, Fang Xin could not bear it, as he stepped onto the tform with his own initiative, as he cupped his fists in front of him and said loudly, Luo Huo Academys Fang Xin, carrying 30 points, challenges Meng Jing Xiu from the God Wind Academy. Fang Xin had challenged Meng Jing Xiu. Almost everyone was expecting it. Of the eight people surviving till now, presumably Meng Jing Xius cultivation was one of the lowest. Moreover, Meng Jing Yue had 20 points on her, the Luo Huo Academy urgently needed that score to maintain their honour. Moreover, Meng Jing Xius first victory was against Luo Huo Academys Zu Jun Jie, and as a result ended in Luo Huo Academy losing 10 points, now that Fang Xin challenged Meng Jing Xiu it was simply a natural matter. Hearing Fang Xin dare to challenge her, Meng Jing Xiu raised her eyebrows, she simply did not speak anything, as she directly jumped from the ce she was standing andnded onto the tform. As you wish. Meng Jing Xiu had justnded on the tform. When she immediately took out her halberd, while simultaneously casting out innumerable Halberd Shadows, creating a huge rumbling sound. Although Meng Jing Xiu was the first cultivator to enter to start the challenge fights in his round, but she really was a dark horse who easily defeated the True Condensation 8th Level Cultivator Zu Jun Jie, who was two levels above her. Now that she was fighting Fang Xin who was at True Condensation 9th Level, it was sure to catch the peoples eye. Fang Xing was wielding a very simple Magic Weapon; it was an ordinary looking double edged sword. Although Meng Jing Xiu had casted out innumerable Halberd Shadows, but he was simply calmly waving about his sword. Although he gave a simple flick to his sword, in just a twinkling of an eye, a terrible freezing cold spread above the tournament tformpletely freezing it over. The Halberd Shadows casted out by Meng Jing Xiu were also affected by the cold, as they immediately slowed down. Suddenly a faint chirping like sound could be heard, as the surrounding ice immediately materialized as it was gatheredpletely, forming a vague and fuzzy sword shadow. As the sword of ice formed, it quickly moved towards her at an astonishing speed. Bang.... The Halberd Shadows that Meng Jing Xiu brought out and had covered the sky werepletely shattered in an instant by that single simple sword of ice. Ding a sound of something snapping resounded throughout. As the Halberd Shadows disappeared, revealing the halberd, which shed against Fang Xins sword, it immediately sent out a heart shaking sound. Fang Xin stood there motionless, but Meng Jing Xiu was sent flying upside down because of that sh, she flew all the way to the edge of the tform before she could barely stop herself. Even if that was the case, the powerful True Essence still made her chest heave endlessly. Although Meng Jing Xiu was not injured, but her face was very ugly. In just a single move, in just a briefest of glimpses, she knew that there was an insurmountable gap between her and her opponent. For her to defeat Fang Xin, she knew that she could only have that kind of opportunity if she herself had also advanced to the True Condensation 9th Level. Fang Xin also did not follow up and chase her down, if Fang Xin really wanted to chase her down and kill her to obtain victory, then he would have done so whole heartedly right from the start, other than Meng Jing Xiu dying, she could only grasp the opportunity and throw in the towel. I lost. Meng Jing Xiu knew that Fang Xiu did not want to kill her, with aplexion somewhat decadent, she finally got down from the tform looking very deste and lonely. Originally she had thought that with her abilities, even if she lost, she would not lose this badly. But now that she went up against a genuine master, she discovered that she had far overestimated herself. Fang Xin also did not continue to challenge others, and simrly walked down the tform. But at this point of time there was nobody who looked down on him, even if Fang Xin was the only one left from the Luo Huo Academy, he would be a really strong opponent to fight against. Because Fang Xin defeated Meng Jing Xun, his score also rose from 30 points to 50 points, while Meng Jing Xiu was eliminated from the tournament. At this time the score of the God Wind Academy also ended up in the bottom, besides God Wind Academy taking up thest ce in the scoring, the only other person left from their side was Ning Cheng. Amongst the remaining participants, Ning Chengs cultivation was the lowest. It was simply not only the lowest, it was lower than the others by several notches. At this moment, nobody had the dream of God Wind Academy to continue further, simrly no one was optimistic about the God Wind Academy. Regardless of the God Wind Academy, after Meng Jing Xiu from the God Wind Academy lost, they were beaten back to their original ce. The God Wind Academy had two dark horses, but it was proven, that the dark horse will only be ck for just once. Now that Meng Jing Xiu was defeated, how long could that Ning Xiao Cheng be ck? Chapter 0118 – The Terrifying Ning Xiao Cheng Chapter 0118 C The Terrifying Ning Xiao Cheng At this moment, in the 3rd Round of the Tournament, on the huge Projection Array Formation Screen, there were only 7 people left. The first was still Situ Yu with 60 points, the second was Fang Xin with 50 points, the third was Lian Hao with 40 points, fourth was Chi Zi Wen and Ning Xiao Cheng with 30 points, and the fifth was Ling Naixin and Meng Yu Jing with 20 points who have yet to step onto the stage. Lian Hao looked at Ning Cheng, as the corners of his mouth turned up in a grin, he wanted to kill all the disciples of the God Wind Academy one by one. That Meng Jing Xiu who lost to Fang Xin a moment ago, really had good luck on her side, if Meng Jing Xiu had not lost then, then she would have definitely suffered death against him. At that time Lian Hao wanted to challenge Ning Cheng, but Meng Yu Jing was the first to jump on to the tform, beating him to the punch. Meng Yu Jings stunning looks immediately attracted the attention of the audience, as till this point apart from Meng Jing Xiu, there have been no other female cultivators who stepped onto the tform in the third round. Before Meng Jing Xiu from the God Wind Academy also looked good, but inparison to Meng Yu Jing, Meng Jing Xiu was still worlds apart. This kind of woman like Meng Yu Jing, looked extremely stimting to the eyes. So when she came on to the tform, she immediately attracted a massive apuse from the audience. There was a smile on Meng Yu Jings face, making her look even more devastatingly beautiful. She cupped her fists in front of her towards the audience, and spoke with a clear and crisp voice, Meng Yu Jing from Falling Star Academy with 20 points, challenges God Wind Academys Ning Xiao Cheng. Ning Cheng gave a sneer, although he did not know why this woman called Meng Yu Jing was challenging him, but he was absolutely not afraid of her at all. Just as Meng Yu Jing finished her deration, Ning Cheng jumped up from the ce he was standing and immediatelynded in front of her on the tform. Although this Yu Jing took the liberty to challenge, but I also ask Brother Ning to show mercy. Meng Yu Jing really had a good self-control, and was speaking in a soft and gentle voice, making anyone who heard her voice to feel a bit of pity towards her, and would never bear to use a heavy hand against her. But Ning Cheng did not even have half a shred of favourable impression towards Meng Yu Jing, when he heard Meng Yu Jings words he immediately said with a sneer, Since you are afraid, why dont you stay at home like an obedient child, whye here to pick a fight? Meng Yu Jings face immediately turned red, she did not think that Ning Cheng would be this ungraceful, she even thought that Ning Cheng was speaking like this deliberately. She was now sure that it was really Ning Xiao Cheng who had followed her thest time. And as a result, seen the two people, she and Qu Ping, together thest time. Meng Yu Jing did not speak anymore nonsense, she immediately raised her hands, as a cyan coloured Flying Swords handle appeared in her hands, at the same time that the Flying Sword appeared in her hands, a blue coloured round mirror also appeared behind her back suspended in mid-air. Ning Cheng had not yet acted. But when his Spiritual Sense fell on Meng Yu Jings blue mirror, he could feel that this blue mirror was somewhat strange. As Meng Yu Jing resorted to the cyan coloured Flying Sword in her hands, a cyan coloured sword wave emerged from it giving out a whisper like sound, and in just a twinkling of an eye curled around Ning Cheng. Ji Luo Fei who was watching the fight from a distant ce, when she saw Ning Cheng, under the influence of the cyan coloured sword from Meng Yu Jing, had disappeared. She suddenly looked nervous as she immediately took a few steps forward. After Meng Jing Xiu lost, her mood was at an all-time low. Although she was unhappy with Ning Cheng, but when she saw Ji Luo Fei trying to go up, she quickly pulled Ji Luo Fei back and said, Do you not want to live, as long as you crossed that yellow line, that old man will immediately start, did you not see what he had done to that Essence Building Elder from the Shui n? Ji Luo Fei immediately woke up. And hurriedly withdrew a few steps back. At this point of time, the Spear on Ning Chengs back had already fallen into his hands, the cloth in which the Spear was wrapped up immediately burst apart, at the same time, the Spear in his hands immediately shot out a few ice cold Spear Lights. All the Spear Lights immediately formed into a Spear Network, out of the 36 Ice Spear Lights, he could bring out, at present, 24 Spear Lights to form a Spear Net. However, Ning Cheng did not utilise his Spear fully, and only brought out 8 Spear Lights. An iparable freezing cold was being emitted by that Ice Spear Network as it rushed towards Meng Yu Jing, as the ice cold Spear Network moved towards Meng Yu Jing, it immediately collided with those cyan coloured sword waves around him. Sounds of True Essence continuously exploding emerged. Although Ning Cheng was at True Condensation 3rd Level, but his True Essence was much more profound and deep, in fact the quality of Meng Yu Jings True Essence could not even bepared to his, moreover since his Meridians had also expanded, the True Essence that he could use vastly surpassed that of what Meng Yu Jing could use, both in quality and quantity. Meng Yu Jing had never thought that Ning Cheng would end up with an upper hand in the fight with just a single strike against her sword, when Ning Chengs Spear Net and the first wave of her Sword Light exploded after colliding with each other, an intense cold swept over her, even her sword wave was on the verge of dissipating as the surrounding wind was agitated into a storm, seeing that she immediately casted out numerous more new sword waves again. Although these new sword waves were once again defeated and dispersed, but their momentum was almost double than before. I see that you still have something up your sleeve...... After Meng Yu Jing stirred up the second sword wave, she did not stop there, that blue mirror that was originally suspended in air behind her, instantaneously expanded in the sky above the two people covering both of them. Simultaneously the round blue mirror also projected out several blue rays, when these rays fell onto the Ice Spear Lights of Ning Cheng, the Spear Lights were instantly defeated and almost dispersed. Ning Cheng once again brought out another eight Spear Lights, and superimposed them on the previous Spear Lights. However, Ning Cheng immediately became a bit sluggish and dyed a bit, because he unexpectedly saw Tian Mu Wan in the blue mirror. When he saw Tian Mu Wan in there, bursts of heartache hit him.... Whats this? He even has a lover...... The blue mirror was Meng Yu Jings Magic Weapon, so she could also see the scenes that Ning Cheng was seeing in the blue magic mirror. But these scenes in it were very strange, she had never seen anything like that. But whatever that youth Ning Cheng was seeing inside her magic mirror, she was not much concerned about it and wanted to take him down immediately. The Mysterious Yellow Bead residing in his Zifu once again released the Mysterious Yellow Qi from the Mysterious Yellow Origin, this Qi because he had not yet fully formed his Sea of Consciousness, immediately disappeared in the Meridians of the Ning Chengs body. It immediately jolted Ning Cheng awake, when he recovered, he actually discovered that the cyan sword waves of Meng Yu Jing had almost arrived in front of him. If this sword wavended on his body, if he didnt die, then he would at least end up severely wounded. At this moment, Ning Cheng immediately mobilised the entire True Essence in his body, as he immediately casted out eight Spear Lights, but these eight Spear Lights were not the same Ice Spear Lights from before nor were they emitting the intense chill from before, but rather they were pure golden Spear Lights. Although these eight Spear Lights were not the Ice Spear Lights, but they still, almost at the same time, immediately formed into a Spear Network. This Spear Network and Meng Yu Jings sword wave struck each other for the second time, and Ka Ka like sounds continuously rang out. Ning Cheng did not continue to supplement that Spear Network, he believed that even if he did not cast out those 8 Spear Lights once again, Meng Yu Jing would definitely lose without a doubt. But in this battle, Ning Cheng felt that his 36 Ice Spear Technique was a bit in a disadvantageous spot, moreover he also did not have an Ice Spiritual Root as his Main Spiritual Root, moreover even his reserves of True Essence were also rtively limited. Since these Ice Spears power were not very high, so he might as well remove the ice elementpletely. Simultaneously Ning Cheng alsoe up with another conclusion, that this Profound Grade 36 Ice Spear Technique was not suitable for him topletely understand the Spear Intent. Ning Cheng once again took back his broken Spear. He closed his eyes once again, as he once more shot out his broken Spear towards the centre of the cyan sword wave. The Profound Grade 36 Ice Spear Technique was a group kill Spear Technique, it was not suitable for one on onebat, it was also simrly not suitable to disy the real Spear Intent. When Ning Cheng saw the former Ge Yes technique and also Meng Yu Jings sword technique, he immediately was able to gain an insight into a whole new Spear Technique. He affirmed that this new Spear Technique can definitely maximise and disy theplete Spear Intent. Meng Yu Jings sword wave technique was definitely an amazing sword technique. It even seemed to be on a higher level than his own Profound Grade 36 Ice Spear Technique. But Meng Yu Jing was the same as him, and was unable to disy the full might of the sword line waves, this let him have the room to counter attack. Meng Yu Jing didnt think that Ning Cheng would suddenly wake up, she wanted to stimte the blue mirror once more, but then immediately felt that the entire tform was filled with the intense Killing Intent that was emanating from his Spear, the next moment endless Spear Shadows condensed from this Killing Intent, materialising in front of her. This was a really fearful and formidable Killing Intent. Not only Meng Yu Jing had no way to resist it, but she also ended up being scared out of her wits. If even one of these Spears bombed onto her body, then she could clearly guess that her entire body would not be able to resist it even for a moment before it was sted open. The Spear Intent was growing more and more abundant, and also more and more heavy. Meng Yu Jing continued to retreat as her face was getting paler by each passing moment, she was desperately trying to circte her True Essence to once again stimte the blue magic mirror to block with it in front of her. She really did not know if her blue magic mirror could block Ning Chengs Spear fully or not. Crash A burst of sound emerged, as Ning Chengs Spear immediately sted through the blue magic mirror. Leaving behind a spider web shaped crack emanating out from the centre of the blue magic mirror. Meng Yu Jing was also thrown back because of the fearful strength of the explosion, and just like a meteor, hit the Restriction ced on the square tform. She immediately sprayed out several mouthfuls of blood, as she fell to the ground, as she desperately tried to gasp for breath. Ning Cheng did not pursue Meng Yu Jing to kill her, he was still standing there with his eyes closed and did not move at all from that spot. A Spear was increasingly getting clearer in his mind, which made him go wild with joy, this was the true manifestation of the Killing Intent of a Spear, in other words Spear Intent. Compared to this Spear, the Profound Grade 36 Ice Spear Technique that he was using before felt iparably weak. However, Ning Cheng was very clear, that now that he couldpletelyprehend the Spear Intent of this Spear, in addition to the several people seeing the fight from the outside, his 36 Ice Spear Technique definitely had left asting impression in their minds. Hey, at such a young age, for him toprehend the Spear Intent to such an extent, how could his Spiritual Root be bad? The dignified looking man sitting on the main altar asked himself once again. This Ning Cheng in his first fight, revealed his Axe Intent. But now unexpectedly, he also brought out the Spear Intent. I admit defeat.... Meng Yu Jing stood up with extreme difficulty, as she wiped the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth. The thing that she was most anxious about was the blue magic mirror which she had now immediately put into her Storage Bag. Although she did not understand the reason, but she understood that Ning Cheng had shown mercy on her, otherwise she had no doubt that she would have died in that attack. This magic mirror was something that she treasured the most, but unexpectedly it was broken by Ning Chengs Spear, it was difficult for her to not feel down. Although Meng Yu Jing fought with Ning Cheng with everything she had. She was thoroughly defeated. Since they had lost two of their core disciples, the God Wind Academy which had been extremely depressed, because of Ning Chengs victory, once again raised their hopes. Liu Xian was earnestly looking at Ning Cheng as he returned, if the God Wind Academy could obtain a good ranking, then even if they lost two of their core disciples they at least would be able to find a bit offort. Ning Cheng defeated Meng Yu Jing without even stopping for a moment, this let him see a new hope. In the za, many of the cultivators looked at Meng Yu Jing being defeated by Ning Cheng, they did not have an intuitive feeling, for them a dark horse was still a dark horse. But the people from the Falling Star Academy werepletely shocked, Meng Yu Jing was not even half a bit worse than Chi Zi Wen from their Falling Star Academy. For them, for Ning Xiao Cheng who could easily defeat Meng Yu Jing, it could be said that even Chi Zi Wen would not be much of a match against Ning Xiao Cheng. Just what was the origin of this Ning Xiao Cheng? Just how could he be so terrifying? Ming Hao Kuo from the Clear Sky Academy was also staring at the Ning Cheng, as he thought back to the time that Ning Cheng was supposed to be a disciple of the Clear Sky Academy, but unfortunately he really was a blind man to let him go to the God Wind Academy. At this time, he was really wishing that he could once again find that Qi Gathering Cultivator who he had turned into ash, and then once again turn him into ash. Hepletely forgot about the fact that Ning Cheng had scored a total of 11 points in the first and second round of the tournament, at that time he had really felt fortunate, and was even ridiculing the God Wind Academy for their misfortune. But now.... Chapter 0119 – Do You Want To Be The First Chapter 0119 C Do You Want To Be The First After Ning Cheng and Meng Yu Jings fight, there were only 6 remaining people on the scoreboard. Situ Yu, after he killed Ge Ye from the Thunder Academy, umted a total of 60 points, and till now remained at the first position. However, he did not continue to challenge others, and nobody also dared to challenge him. After Ning Cheng defeated Meng Yu Jing, his score also increased to 50 points. At this time, nobody thought that Ning Cheng was just a lucky dark horse. Although he had only fought two times, but Ning Cheng had already proved his strength. Just as Ning Cheng got down from the tform, Lian Hao from the Thunder Academy once again jumped onto the tform to issue a challenge. The rest of the people simply did not need to think much about it, as basically everyone by this time knew that Lian Hao was there to challenge Ning Cheng. But Lian Haos phoenix eyes swept over the few peoples name left with scores, but when he swept his eyes over Fang Xins name, the corners of his eyes revealed a hint of disdain. Fang Xin suddenly became angry, he knew that Lian Hao wanted to challenge Ning Xiao Cheng, but when he saw Lian Haos evil eye, he did not feel well in his heart. He did not wait for Lian Hao to speak up, as he immediately jumped onto the tform and said, Luo Huo Academys Fang Xines with 50 points to meet with you, lets see if your hand is really as sharp as your phoenix eyes. Fang Xin knew that sooner orter he had to fight with Lian Hao, since the opposite party was showing such a disdain towards him, then he might as well fight right now. The corners of Lian Haos mouth revealed a fiendish grin, Since you want to die this early, then I will definitely help you. Originally I wanted to kill that garbage Ning Xiao Cheng first, but I really did not expect that you would like to die first. A person like you, who cant even kill a woman, truly does not need to remain alive. It was not until this point that Fang Xin understood why Lian Hao was sneering at him, it seemed the reason why this fellow sneered at him was because he failed to kill that woman, Meng Jing Xiu. Actually Fang Xin still did notpletely understand Lian Haos meaning, because even if it was Lian Hao who might have defeated Meng Jing Xiu instead of Fang Xin, even he would not have the chance to kill Meng Jing Xiu. Ning Cheng had not thought that Lian Hao would finally end up in a fight with Fang Xin when he saw Lian Haoe to issue his challenge. He knew that Lian Hao wanted to challenge him. But he really did not know why that extremely calm looking Fang Xin wanted to wade in this kind of muddy water. This third round of the tournament, was basically full of people trying to settle their personal grudges at the cost of their lives. Because of Lian Haos extreme hostility towards Fang Xin, just after he finished speaking, he immediately casted out his Demonic Seal. Chu Yong Xin and Gu Hong, although powerful, but they were simply not enough to make Lian Hao to show his actual power or skill. Although Lian Hao looked down on Fang Xin, but actually he knew that Fang Xin could not even bepared to Chu Yong Xin even if they were on the same level. So he immediately used his full power from the start. His Demonic Seal immediately expanded to a radius of 10 feet, andpletely locked the surroundings around Fang Xin. When Fang Xin saw Lian Hao begin, he knew that he and Chu Yong Xin were different, moreover his own True Essence and cultivation was not worse than Lian Hao, so the moment Lian Hao brought out his Demonic Seal with his full power, he also brought out his Ice Sword and stabbed out. It was still an exceptionally ordinary looking sword. However, when he stabbed out with his sword, the surrounding space around Lian Hao immediately blurred. This kind of fuzziness, it seemed to have been the result of Fang Xins blurry sword shadow. Boom, Ka Ka...... The Restriction ced on the tform, because of the explosion from Fang Xins ordinary looking Ice Sword and Lian Haos Demonic Seals collision, immediately burst open. Lian Hao and Fang Xin also simultaneously flew out, the fuzzy ice sword shadows also shattered as they dissipated into thin air, and even the Demonic Seal shrunk and fell into Lian Haos hand. It was only the first strike. But the two of them unexpectedly turned out to be evenly matched. In Ning Chengs view, Fang Xin and Lian Haos cultivation were truly simr, but even then Ning Cheng thought that Fang Xin was still not a match against Lian Hao. This was not a problem of a persons cultivation level, but rather because Lian Hao was much more cunning and devious than the simple and straightforward Fang Xin. Since the two people were evenly matched in their strength, the side which was cunning would always have the absolute advantage. If Fang Xin still had a killer technique, Ning Cheng did not know, but he did know that Lian Hao had still not taken out his ck triangr streamer. As if both of them felt their opponents strength, the two sides no longer held back, this time when Fang Xin and Lian Hao shed together again, they immediately fully utilised their True Essence, and once more the entire tform was filled with crackling roars just like the rumblings of thunder. In all the fights in the third round until now, this fight was a really close one. At this time, above the tform, the entire tform was either covered with the Demonic Seal which surrounded Fang Xin for a moment, or the fuzzy sword shadow which would split apart the Demonic Seal the next moment. Regardless of which party had the upper hand, it would be just for a moment, the next moment, the other party would immediately counterattack. Ning Cheng estimated that for the moment the result would still remain undecided between them, so he turned towards Liu Xian. Deacon Liu, do you only want to get a good ranking, or do you want to advance the God Wind Academy to a 6 Star Academy? Liu Xian immediately wanted to say that of course he wanted his God Wind Academy to advance to a 6 Star Academy. But just as those words appeared on the tip of his tongue, and although he wanted to say it, but in the end he just swallowed it back down. For Ning Cheng to say such a thing, there must have been a good reason, so he subconsciously asked, Ning Cheng, can you truly help the God Wind Academy toe first? And allow the God Wind Academy advance to a 6 Star Academy? Ning Cheng slightly hesitated, but then said with an affirmative tone, This time I have already seen all the participants fight, other than Ling Naixin. If Deacon Liu wants to get the first position, and let the God Wind Academy advance to a 6 Star Academy, then Deacon Liu, I think that I can help you aplish this. When Liu Xian heard Ning Chengs words, he immediately looked at Ning Cheng with astonishment in his eyes, and it was only after a good long while that he started to speak with a trembling voice, Ning Cheng, can you really help the God Wind Academye first? Although he was looking at the results carefully, as a result he was a bit optimistic, but he had never thought that Ning Cheng would unexpectedly give such an answer. Being optimistic with the results of the tournament was one thing, but this went entirely beyond his imagination. If the God Wind Academy managed to obtain the first spot, wouldnt it finally rise in rank to a 6 Star Academy? If it was before, then he would have definitely thought that this was simply a ridiculous matter, but when Liu Xian saw Ning Cheng easily defeat Meng Yu Jing, he immediately began to think that it might just not be such an impossible feat. Liu Xian immediately became excited, but then once more thinking about Ning Chengs words, he couldnt help but think about why Ning Cheng asked about it? He was already the core disciple of the God Wind Academy, since he could help the God Wind Academy advance to the 6 Star Academy, then he should have certainlymitted to fight for it, so then just why would he seek his advice? Thinking of this, Liu Xian forced himself to calm down, and condensed his voice to a string so that only Ning Cheng could hear it and said, Ning Cheng, you are already the core disciple of the God Wind Academy, so when you said those words, what did you mean by them? Ning Cheng also spoke in a low voice, Deacon Liu. I feel that this time, the advancement to a 6 Star Academy is not that simple. Of course, since I could think of this, then you also should have been able to think about this.... This time Liu Xian understood Ning Chengs meaning, as he nodded and said, Ning Cheng, what you said is right. Actually we also thought the same. The reason why the people from the Intermediate ss Continent wants to form a 6 Star Academy in the Lower ss Continents, is to let that Academy manage all the Lower ss Continents, as well as the numerous scattered cultivators, and as such would end up with absolute power in their hands. But the right to speak would ultimately end up in their side. No matter which Academy became the 6 Star Academy, they would only end up serving the people from the Intermediate ss Continents. As such one might as well grasp that power in their own hands, and at least get some kind of advantage than the others. What Ning Cheng originally meant was, that the scores in the first and the second rounds in the tournament, along with the third round in this tournament was not purely to choose the one Academy who would be developed into a 6 Star Academy. Since Liu Xian also had said so, he also did not refute, and just exined in a simple way, Once the Angry Axe Valley truly opens, I think that these seniors who came here from the Intermediate ss Continent, would definitely not continue to stay in the Hua Continent, I think that once they choose a 6 Star Academy, the so called 6 Star Academy would end up being at their mercy for their development. Moreover, they will immediately lead the 20 top disciples and leave towards the Angry Axe before aplishing that. Liu Xian already vaguely understood the meaning of Ning Chengs words, but still asked, Ning Cheng, what do you mean by that? Ning Cheng simply said, Deacon Liu, I think that the power of the God Wind Academy is limited, moreover we still do not have a Profound Core Cultivator to preside over it, once we obtain the status of the 6 Star Academy and also the respective quota, we will immediately be the target of the publics criticism. If it were me, then I definitely would want to wait for the people from the Intermediate ss Continents toe help the God Wind Academy finally develop into the 6 Star Academy, but this would certainly take ce only after the Angry Axe Valleys matter is concluded. During that time, what happens in the Hua Continent, who could say clearly? Liu Xian wholeheartedly wanted to help the God Wind Academy rise in prominence, moreover the people from the Intermediate ss Continent also promised to send someone to help the winner of the 5 Star Academies Tournament to rise to a 6 Star Academy. But because the Angry Axe Valley suddenly opened. The people from the Intermediate ss Continent had no choice but to immediately dispatch the chosen people. Even if they wanted to help the selected, they would only do so after the Angry Axe Valley closed up again. At this point of time he fully understood the words of Ning Cheng, how could he not understand what would happen during the middle? If the God Wind Academy was destroyedpletely under some kind of excuse, then would the people from the Intermediate ss Continents help the God Wind Academy get revenge? Most likely, they would simply choose another Academy to ascend to the ranks of the 6 Star Academy. Many thanks to you, I actually did not expect this. No wonder you can have this kind of achievements while still in the True Condensation 3rd Level.... After Liu Xian thanked Ning Cheng in a sentence, he simply sighed, as his heart was filled with mixed feelings. Liu Xian believed that they were the ones who were simply too close to the problem. Ning Cheng was obviously thinking more than Liu Xian, because he had made up his mind to enter the Angry Axe Valley, he had to leave Ji Luo Fei behind in the God Wind Academy, he absolutely would not let Ji Luo Fei face such kinds of sharp winds. Whether God Wind Academy would end up bing a 6 Star Academy or not, Ning Cheng was not interested in it, but for Ji Luo Fei to end up with even a hair less, he was not willing. When he proposed his opinion, it was not because he was having selfish thoughts. However, Ning Cheng thought that his inference was absolutely not wrong, even if the God Wind Academy was promoted to a 6 Star Academy it would merely be only an empty shell, who knew what could happen in the future? Rumble Rumble.... A few violent explosions immediately attracted Ning Chengs and Liu Xians attention to the fight, on the tform Fang Xin was slumped at the edge of the stage, and was bleeding from his mouth, even his True Essence was almost non-existent, it was obvious that he had finally lost and could no longer fight. Lian Hao was a bit far away from Fang Xin, he was going to use his Demonic Seal, and wanted to thoroughly kill Fang Xin. I admit defeat.... Fang Xin spilled out those words with difficulty, as his face lookedpletely dispirited. The corners of Lian Haos eyes shed with a hint of annoyance, as he slowed down, if he was just a bit faster, he would have definitely sessfully killed Fang Xin, but now that Fang Xin had sessfully thrown in the towel, he could not kill him any longer. It was really regrettable for him, now that Fang Xin had thrown in the towel, he could not finish what he wanted to. Lost so soon? Ning Cheng asked as he was somewhat puzzled, he had just been speaking with Liu Xian for only a few moments, and had not paid attention to the situation inside the ring. After Lian Haos Demonic Seal and Fang Xins Ice Sword Shadow refused topromise, Lian Hao pretended to have suffered from the bacsh of his True Essence. Fang Xin suddenly agitated his True Essence, and wanted to break through the Demonic Seal with his Ice Sword, but he did not take into ount the ck Triangr Streamer that Lian Hao was hiding, which when he unfurled, the Ice Sword Shadow casted by Fang Xin immediately dissipated. Fang Xin in order to get rid of the ck Triangr Streamer, forcefully blew up his Ice Sword, which also severely injured Lian Hao...... Meng Jing Xiu took the initiative to exin it to him. Ever since the time she had seen Ning Cheng defeating Meng Yu Jing with ease, she knew that she was thinking too highly of herself, and was also looking down on Ning Cheng, it was only after that fight that she realised that Ning Chengs cultivation should be even higher than her own. Chapter 0120 – More Than Just An Arrogant Prick Chapter 0120 C More Than Just An Arrogant Prick Fang Xin was defeated, all the people knew that the Luo Huo Academy, who was ced second till now was nowpletely finished. Lian Hao really was too powerful, as even the rest of the remaining 5 Star Academies began to discuss about him among themselves. The Falling Star Academy was in the toughest spot right now. The Falling Star Academy, at the moment, only had a single person left, Chi Zi Wen and they knew that Chi Zi Wen was definitely not a match for Ning Cheng. It was even visible that Chi Zi Wen was even more so not a match against Lian Hao, who was even more dangerous. Even the Clear Sky Academys Situ Yu looked at Lian Hao with a frown, he also began thinking that Lian Hao was the only person here who could rival him at the moment. But the only least stressful person at the moment was Ling Naixin from the Thunder Academy. She was the only one who had not yet taken or given out a challenge, and still had 20 points on her. Since Lian Hao was also from the Thunder Academy, she simply did not feel the pressure at all. The audience in the za who were first discussing about the 5 Star Academies, immediately turned their focus on Lian Hao, they all could see that Lian Haos skill was extremely astonishing. Liu Xian frowned, and stared at Lian Hao for a long time before saying, Ning Cheng, at the moment it would be better to not bump into him, he looks a little weird. Ning Cheng showed a faint smile, Deacon Liu, even if I dont try to bump into him, he himself would take the initiative to challenge me. With that, Ning Cheng once again jumped and descended on to the tform as he called out, God Wind Academys Ning Xiao Cheng along with his 50 points challenges Lian Hao. After Lian Hao gained victory over Fang Xin, he was starting to get down from the tform, moreover his pride was also at an all-time high at the current moment, he had never thought that just as he would finish with his fight somebody would dare toe up and challenge him. When they saw who the person was who had jumped on to the tform and issued the challenge, the audience in the za immediately went into an uproar, as their extreme emotions were once again stirred up. At this point of time, there was no one who dared to look down on Ning Cheng, all the people knew that Ning Cheng and Lian Hao would sooner orter end up in a fight, as a result every single one of them wanted to find out who was more powerful among the two of them. They all wanted to know if it would be the incredibly powerful Lian Hao, or the dark horse Ning Cheng. When Ning Cheng came up on stage, the Falling Star Academy and the Clear Sky Academy immediately rxed. Both of these people were not someone that they wanted to fight against. But now, these two people came up to fight against each other by their own initiative, it really was the best option for them. When Fang Xin walked down from the side of the tform, he looked at Ning Cheng who came to challenge with some frustration, but he sighed to himself, and did not speak. No one knew better than him how powerful Lian Hao was, but even if he spoke up it would simply be meaningless. Without experiencing it by themselves, no one could fully understand what he would be saying. Kid, I can easily kill you in just a few moments, but I did not expect that you would take the initiative toe yourself, since you like to court death this much, then I will definitely help you out. When Lian Hao saw Ning Chenge to challenge him with his own initiative, he immediately sneered. As his entire body overflowed with Killing Intent. He immediately resorted to the Demonic Seal, he wanted to kill Ning Cheng in front of everyone, now that Ning Cheng was standing in front of his eyes, how could Lian Hao even tolerate it for even half a moment. Once the Demonic Seal came out, it originally had the radius of 2 feet but it immediately grew to the size of almost 10 feet transforming into a giant seal, because of the agitation from the Killing Intenting out of the giant seal, the air surrounding it immediately burst out with sounds of roaring thunder. Such a strong power.... The people watching secretly eximed out in surprise. This time the Demonic Seal used by Lian Hao was iparably much more powerful than what he had disyed during his fight with Fang Xin. Ning Cheng immediately took the Spear into his hands, and at the same time immediately brought out 24 Spear Shadows at once, immediately forming into arge Spear Network. With element of ice removed from Ning Chengs 36 Ice Spear Technique, the Spear Network formed from the 24 pure Spear Shadows looked iparably fierce. The pure Spear Network and the huge Demonic Seal almost instantaneously collided with each other, creating terrifying shockwaves, which immediately made the audience speechless once again. They could even feel the ground beneath them vibrate intensely. Meng Yu Jing had a bitter taste in her mouth, it was only then she understood that in her battle with Ning Cheng, he had only used 16 of those Spear Shadows, in other words he did not even use his full power. Boom Boom Boom...... True Essence was overflowing all around, the Demonic Seal and the Spear Network casted out by Ning Chengs broken Spear were just like rolling thunder clouds, whichpletely covered up the entire tform. Ning Cheng knew that if he had topete in True Essence, then he would never be able topete against Lian Hao, moreover now that he had removed the ice element from his 36 Ice Spear Technique, it had now turned into an element less Spear Technique. But also because he had removed the ice element from it, his True Essence consumption was also reduced, once he used his True Essence to induce the ice element into his attacks, then for him the losses would far outweigh the gains. Because of the low cultivation levels of the audience, they could not clearly see the fight between Ning Cheng and Lian Hao, and could only sense the formidable sh of the True Essence of those two cultivators fighting. But while fighting, Ning Cheng began to have a feeling that the Profound Grade 36 Ice Spear Technique was not suitable for him to use. As the Spear Network and the Demonic Seal were shing against each other, Lian Hao silently took out his ck triangr streamer and began to use it, at the same time, Ning Cheng once again caught the Spear in his hands, and drew the Spear in his hands to form an arc of half a circle, and swept it through the Spear Network that was blocking the giant Demonic Seal, tearing the seal apart. This was the same as that time when he had fought against Meng Yu Jing, when he had finally grasped the Spear Intent, only then with this Spear in his hand, could he bring out all of his Spear Intent and fire it out. A boundless Killing Intent condensed at the tip of the Spear in Ning Chengs hand, the Spearpletely copsed the air around it, bringing about a fierce howling behind it as it flew towards Lian Haos chest. This kind of boundless and brutal Killing Intent, could even be felt by the audience, but it seemed that Lian Hao was simply not feeling it. All the people were feeling a bit odd, even Ning Cheng himself was beginning to feel some doubts. Ning Cheng did not count on the Spear being able to kill Lian Hao, but after bringing out his Spear in this manner, even if it was not enough to kill him, he had already prepared to use his 7 Pleiades Ice Needle. For people like Lian Hao, Ning Cheng would not think about it even for half a moment. As long as Lian Hao tried to block the Spear Intent from his Spear, he knew that this Spear Intent would immediately be wiped out, but then the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle and his Axe Fist would be more than enough to send his opponent to his grave. At this time, Lian Hao revealed a trace of ridicule on his face, it really did not matter to him if Ning Cheng could use this kind of Spear Intent with his Spear, instead he had fully charged up the pitch ck triangr streamer in his hands, and in just an instant, the entire sky above the tform was covered in thick ck clouds. Ning Cheng suddenly felt a bad premonition, his Zifu was hurting, and his Spiritual Sense waspletely cut off, while even the boundless Killing Intent that had filled the Spear just a moment ago stagnatedpletely. It was as if those endless ck clouds were sealing off his Zifu, making him feel that his Spiritual Sense waspletely trapped behind a thick impregnable wall. It turned out that the pitch ck triangr streamer was a magical weapon that could cut off the opponents Spiritual Sense, as long as his Spiritual Sense was cut off, even his Spear attack that was filled with his boundless Spear Intent would simply not be worth mentioning. No wonder that Lian Hao did not even look slightly nervous, and even had a ridicule filled sneer on his face. But at the same time, Ning Cheng was once again surprised, he could feel that the Mysterious Yellow Origin was once again beginning to overflow, to drive away those ck clouds around his Zifu that were hindering the Spiritual Sense. However, before the Mysterious Yellow Origin even began to overflow, the Star River which was residing near the Mysterious Yellow Bead suddenly became energetic once again. Because of this, in just a moment the ck clouds that confined his Zifu were almost instantaneously absorbed by it, Ning Cheng could feel that he could now use his Spiritual Sense without any kind of hindrance once more. Lian Hao obviously felt Ning Chengs Spear lose its momentum, as he gave a sarcastic stare at Ning Cheng and said, Now you know, this is my real strength. Do you even know why I want to kill you? It is for revenge for Shui Yu, dont worry I will help you take good care of that woman surnamed Ji, as your head will explode under my feet...... Lian Hao could not even finish the words that he was speaking, when he felt that something wasnt right, that Spear that had stagnated in mid-air once again rumbled as it came towards him, not only was it rumbling towards him, but even the Spear Intent contained in it did not decrease even half a bit, on the contrary the Killing Intent was getting even more concentrated, forming an irresistible bone piercing Spear Intent. This really was not good, Lian Hao immediately understood that his Spiritual Sealing Streamer was not working as he intended, but at the same time Ning Chengs Spear had already arrived in front of him. Lian Hao at this moment waspletely frightened out of his wits, even if he wanted to bring out his round shield to protect him he simply did not even have enough time, he could only agitate the True Essence in him to immediately move sideways in order to escape it. Unfortunately, he was just a True Condensation 9th Level cultivator, because he had already used the Demonic Seal, and even the Spiritual Sealing Streamer, so even through his spiritual strength was formidable whenpared to others, he still did not have the spare capacity to avoid the Spear filled with the boundless bone piercing Spear Intent. Let alone that, even if he had the ability, this kind of powerful Spear Intent was not something that he could evade easily. Puff Blood and gore exploded out, as the lower half of Lian Haos body waspletely blown up by Ning Chengs Spear. And because he had simultaneously mobilized his entire True Essence to evade Ning Chengs Spear, several of the Spear Shadows that were previously being blocked by the Demonic Seal directly tore through, which immediately exploded onto both of his arms, blowing them into nothingness. One had to say that this Lian Hao really had a strong vitality, even though he was in this kind of situation, he could still forcefully open his mouth to speak out about admitting defeat. But the Killing Intent towards him in Ning Cheng was extremely strong, how could he allow Lian Hao to throw in the towel? Once again grabbing the Spear in his hands, he immediately moved it sideways, as he directly bombed Lian Hao on top of his head. Lian Hao really had a big head, and just like a big watermelon, it immediately exploded showering Ning Cheng with bits and pieces of gore. Ning Cheng immediately lifted Lian Haos Storage Bag and put it in his own Storage Bag, and immediately sent out a ball of fire, immediately turning the rest of Lian Haos body into ash in front of everyone. After killing Lian Hao, Ning Cheng slowly heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that if Lian Hao was not too dependent on his triangr streamer, this fight would definitely not have been easy. The entire za waspletely silent, everybody had thought that this kind of powerful sh between the two sides would definitely be fought for a long time, and even if one emerged victorious, it would have only been by a narrow margin. None of them even thought that, this fight would not evenst for even the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, not only was the victor and loser decided in just a few moments, but it even led to the death of one of them. Ning Cheng had hit Lian Haos head causing it to explode without letting him say anything, not only that, he even took Lian Haos things, moreover even burned Lian Hao into ash flying in the wind, didnt this seem that he was even more arrogant than him? It was only after a good while that the audience outside the tform finally erupted in lively cheering, although the fight was not long as they expected it to be, but the fight itself was very exciting. This Ning Xiao Cheng once again proved it to all the people that he was definitely strong, and absolutely did not just depend on luck. Lian Hao had killed two members from the God Wind Academy, moreover he did not allow them to even throw in the towel, but finally ended up being killed by Ning Xiao Cheng from the God Wind Academy. Ning Xiao Cheng from the God Wind Academy also simrly did not give that Lian Hao the opportunity to throw in the towel. Not only did he not allow him to throw in the towel, he did not even leave behind even a single one of his bones intact. Ling Naixin facial expression immediately turned pale, she had never thought that Lian Hao would also loose in such a miserable manner, and that too so quickly, she could almost affirm that this Ning Xiao Cheng would most definitely challenge her next. How could Ning Xiao Cheng from the God Wind Academy let her off, as Lian Hao also had killed two core members from the God Wind Academy? Not only would he not let her off, she would also certainly end up being killed by him. Only if she herself took the initiative toe up to challenge and then throw in the towel immediately, would she actually have the chance to survive, but would Ning Xiao Cheng even give her that chance to throw in the towel? Liu Xian waspletely excited as he almost called out to Ning Cheng in a loud voice, now that Ning Cheng had beaten Lian Hao, he had now umted a total of 140 points, as long as Ning Cheng wanted, and challenged even one of them casually, then the God Wind Academy would definitely end up first. But then he immediately sighed, he knew that Ning Cheng would not continue to issue challenges. All the eyes werepletely focussed on Ning Chengs body, every single person inside the main altar and outside the tform wanted to know who Ning Cheng would challenge next. Chapter 0121 – Controlling The First Position Chapter 0121 C Controlling The First Position Now in the 3rd round of the Tournament, of all the participating cultivators, the 1st position was nowpletely dominated by Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng had a total of 140 points, which was far beyond that of the person in the 2nd position, Situ Yu, with a total of 60 points. The 3rd was Chi Zi Wen with 30 points and thest was Ling Naixin with 20 points which simply couldnt even bepared. The ranking of the five 5 Star Academies once again shuffled, the 1st ce was still taken by Falling Star Academy with a total of 251 points. The God Wind Academy which was cedst till now, was now at the 2nd ce with a total of 216 points. The Clear Sky Academy with 190 points, was ced 3rd. Thunder Academy with 158 points, was in 4th ce. While thest ce was taken by Luo Huo Academy with a total score of 155 points. Ning Cheng who still standing on the tform swept with his eyes, of the three people left within the tournament, other than Situ Yu, the other two looked fearful and apprehensive. Chi Zi Wen and Ling Naixin knew clearly that they were definitely not a match against Ning Cheng. But Ning Cheng did not feel the need to challenge Situ Yu, as long as he defeated Chi Zi Wen and Ling Naixin, then the position of the God Wind Academy as the 1st would then be irond. But at the same time he knew that he could only challenge two times more, and it just happened that there were only two people that he wanted to challenge. But against all expectations, after Ning Cheng swept a nce at the rest of the people, he unexpectedly turned around and slowly walked off the tform. Ling Naixin heaved a sigh of relief, what she most feared was that Ning Cheng would immediately challenge her next. But the one who looked even more relieved was Chi Zi Wen, although he was not sure why Ning Cheng did not go ahead and continue to issue challenges while still standing on the tform, but he was d that at least he did not have to face against that monster, Ning Cheng. One of the Essence Building Cultivator from the Clear Sky Academy suddenly said, Now coupled with our Clear Sky Academys Situ Yu, there are only 4 people left. Chi Zi Wen and Ling Naixin are definitely not a match for Situ Yu, so as long as Situ Yu challenged them, then we definitely can take the second ce. Ming Hao Kuo said with a sneer. No one will challenge us. If there is nothing else unexpected happening in this 3rd round. Then it would definitely end here. That Ning Xiao Cheng has no intention of helping the God Wind Academy to take the 1st ce, otherwise he would have definitely taken the initiative to challenge Chi Zi Wen and Ling Naixin. Regardless of whatever reason why that Ning Xiao Cheng gave up on taking up the 1st spot, we all shouldnt make any other moves. It truly is regrettable, if not for that bastard who was truly blind, then that Ning Xiao Cheng would have definitely been a disciple of our Clear Sky Academy. What Teacher Ming says is definitely right, if I got rid of Chi Zi Wen and Ling Naixin, then indeed we will be able to take up the 2nd position. However, I am sure that once I beat those two people, that Ning Xiao Cheng would definitely challenge me next. The reason why the God Wind Academy does not continue to issue the challenges. Is so as to preserve their spot of the second ce. Even I do not have even half a grasp on that Ning Xiao Cheng, this person is definitely very mysterious. Once I lose to him, the Clear Sky Academy would definitely be rankedst. The True Condensation cultivator, Situ Yu who was standing behind spoke up. Whether it is the 2nd position or the 3rd position, the difference between them was definitely not this big until now. Since Situ Yu will not go out to fight, that Ning Xiao Cheng would also note out to challenge. Moreover, that Falling Star Academys Chi Zi Wen and that Thunder Academys Ling Naixin would also note out to challenge on their own initiative. Ming Hao Kuo also nodded, showing his approval towards the words spoken by Situ Yu. When he saw Ning Cheng make his move, he knew that if Situ Yu and Ning Cheng fought then, regardless of it they took the 2nd or the 3rd position, it would only end up in Situ Yus death. As Ning Cheng did not continue to issue challenges, and the other people also saw that there was no one else willing toe up to issue or take challenges, as such the scene unexpectedly turned cold. For the 3rd round really hit such a level. Everyone could see the problem; everyone could see that Ning Cheng was the person who was controlling the 1st position in the tournament. Although none of them knew why Ning Xiao Cheng was doing such a thing. Wasnt he not willing to let the God Wind Academy to take the 1st position, and as such was not continuing to issue the challenges. As Ning Xiao Cheng did note to the tform to issue the challenges, the rest of the people also did not dare toe to the tform to issue their challenges. Although Situ Yu coulde up and challenge, but he was afraid of Ning Xiao Cheng. Whats more, even if he defeated Chi Zi Wen and Ling Naixin, he would still not be able to take the 1st ce. But in case anyone dared to take away the 2nd position of the God Wind Academy, it would only end up in angering that monster, Ning Xiao Cheng, that kind of gain would definitely not even be equal to half the losses that they would incur in the aftermath. The old man presiding over the 3rd round also obviously knew about this situation, as he flew up and gentlynded on to the tform, and spoke with a clear and resonant voice, Ning Xiao Cheng, do you still want to continue and issue challenges? As he saw it, Ning Cheng was fully in control of what Academy woulde 1st, as long as Ning Cheng was willing to challenge, the God Wind Academy would definitely take up the 1st ce. If Ning Cheng was unwilling to challenge, then the Falling Star Academy would be the one taking up the 1st ce. Ning Cheng hurriedly cupped his fists in front of him and spoke: This juniors strength is limited, for the God Wind Academy to obtain the 2nd position, we are already very satisfied, it is not that this junior is not willing to continue and issue out challenges. However, if some of the people here wish to challenge me, then this junior would definitely ept the challenge. The old man then swept his eyes over to Situ Yu, in his eyes, only Situ Yu would be able to resist against Ning Cheng for a bit. Once Situ Yu defeats Ning Cheng, then the Clear Sky Academy would take up the 1st position. This junior is not much confident in winning, therefore is not willing to continue to challenge. Situ Yu also responded hastily. Hearing that Ning Cheng and Situ Yu were both not willing to continue to challenge, Chi Zi Wen and Ling Naixin werepletely delighted. Both of them did not wait for the old man to ask them, before they also immediately came forward and sped their fists as they bowed and spoke that they also had limited strength, and thus cannot continue to challenge. At least Chi Zi Wen had fought once on the tform, but Ling Naixin right from the start to the finish did not even step onto the tform even once. The old man presiding over the 3rd round nodded his head, and immediately announced in a loud voice, The Tournament of the 5 Star Academies is now over, the Falling Star Academy takes the 1st ce with 251 points. Because the Angry Axe Valley is going to open soon, the Falling Star 5 Star Academy is now promoted to a 6 Star Academy, but the promotion ceremony will take ce in 6 months, during this period, the Falling Star Academy can consolidate their resources from the three Lower ss Continents....... Liu Xian nced at Ning Cheng, although he also had expected this, but he was not as clear as Ning Cheng on this matter. He now knew that what Ning Cheng had said was right, as the old man had even allowed the newly formed 6 Star Academy to consolidate all the resources of the Lower ss Continents. In addition to the Angry Axe Valley opening in advance, there still was another meaning, it was to look at the overall strength of the newly formed 6 Star Academy, otherwise why would they immediately choose the 6 Star Academy just after finishing the tournament? Thinking that the God Wind Academy did not currently have a Profound Core Cultivator watching over it, Liu Xian subconsciously shivered in fright. If God Wind Academy was the one to obtain the 1st ce, then the God Wind Academy could not do anything without the help from the Intermediate ss Continent. Wanting to consolidate the resources in all the Lower ss Continents, it was simply a dream. Not to mention any of the other 5 Star Academies, even some of the more powerful 4 Star Academies did not pay much attention to the God Wind Academy. If the God Wind Academy had obtained the first position then it would not have been a prelude to advancing to a 6 Star Academy, but rather a prelude to its death. Because the Falling Star Academy had the strength to back it up, it did not mean that the God Wind Academy also has the same strength. Ning Cheng, this time I really have to thank you. Liu Xian spoke with some fear. Deacon Liu, you dont have to be so polite, I am also a disciple of the God Wind Academy. Ning Cheng said with a smile, as he was rejoicing in his heart. Although he had already guessed the intentions of those people. But for the most part, he was concerned about Ji Luo Fei. He had never thought that his guess would actuallye true. These people from the Intermediate ss Continent. Really made the newly appointed 6 Star Academy to bear the brunt by themselves. Some of the people who had a bit of understanding towards the situation of the God Wind Academy, immediately understood why the God Wind Academy intentionally did not take the 1st ce, as a result they were secretly admiring the savviness of the God Wind Academy. The old man presiding over the 3rd round continued speaking, Besides the Falling Star Academy advancing to a 6 Star Academy, they would also be awarded with a limited amount of resources for the time being, moreover the winners of each of the three rounds would also be rewarded separately. Because the winner of the first and the second round is Falling Star Academys disciple Yue Ying, Yue Ying will also receive the stated prizes, moreover she is also presented with an opportunity from the Jia Continents Celestial Globe 7 Star Academy toe and join their ranks, of course the Celestial Globe 7 Star Academy would definitelypensate the Falling Star Academy with appropriate resources. As for the 1st position in the 3rd round of the tournament, Ning Xiao Cheng from the God Wind Academy, Ning Xiao Cheng besides obtaining the stipted prize, would also obtain one of the quotas to enter the Angry Axe Valley, this quota will not be of the 20 stipted quotas given to the Lower ss Continents. All the cultivators that have filled the respective 20 quotas for the entry into the Angry Axe Valley, will follow us tomorrow to the airship that would carry us all towards the Jia Continent together. After six months, all the cultivators from the Hua Continent who entered the Angry Axe Valley, will simrly be delivered to the Mo Ze Grand za directly by the same airship. Ning Cheng thought that it really was as he had thought about, that old man really wanted to take away Yue Ying. Although Liu Xian wanted to get the benefits of the God Wind Academy taking the 1st ce and although the God Wind Academy could not take the first spot to advance to a 6 Star Academy, but he was still very satisfied, he had actually got three quotas for entry to the Angry Axe Valley. If he added Ning Cheng, then it was a total of 4 people. It was simply inconceivable to him. If their disciples coulde back from the Angry Axe Valley, he knew that they would certainly bring back some good treasures. It would not be such a bad luck to them, as with those resources, they could even help the Dean of their God Wind Academy who was also a Profound Core Cultivator, to recover from his injuries. Thinking about the Profound Core Dean of their God Wind Academy recovering from his injuries, Liu Xian immediately became excited, as he hurriedly spoke to Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng, this time in the Angry Axe Valley, can you help my God Wind Academy to look after the other three people. Ning Cheng had not yet spoken, when at the same time Meng Jing Xiu took the initiative to speak, Deacon Liu, I would like to volunteer myself to go to the Angry Axe Valley. I also request Deacon Liu, to fulfil my lifelong desire to enter the Angry Axe Valley. Having said that to Liu Xian, Meng Jing Xiu then turned towards Ning Cheng and gave a deep bow as she spoke, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, in the past I used to look down on people, still I ask Senior Apprentice Brother Ning to be generous enough and not bother with a vulgar woman like me. The quota for entering the Angry Axe Valley for the God Wind Academy was obtained by Brother Ning, this Jing Xiu shamelessly asks Senior Apprentice Brother Ning to give her a chance. This Jing Xiu must go to the Angry Axe Valley to fulfil her duties. Before Meng Jing Xiu was very rude towards Ning Cheng, which made him loathe her a bit. Butter on when he came to know that Meng Jing Xiu was just a straightforward person, he did not speak up. She was following her own goal, unaware that she was being impolite to others during her journey, although he did not have a favourable impression towards Meng Jing Xiu, he at least did not despise her or loathe her that badly. Meng Jing Xiu had wanted to participate in the Tournament of the 5 Star Academies, because she desperately wanted to enter the Angry Axe Valley, now that she said that she wanted to fulfil her duties in the Angry Axe Valley, didnt it also mean that she had a map of the inside of the Angry Axe Valley, or was it perhaps because of some other secret? Anyways, this quota was up to Liu Xian to fill, he did not have any influence on it, as he already had his quota. Thinking of this, Ning Cheng spoke in a light voice, Deacon Liu is the Foreign Affairs Elder of the God Wind Academy, so all the decisions for the God Wind Academy will be made by Deacon Liu. No matter what choice Deacon Liu makes, I will always agree to it. When Liu Xian heard Ning Chengs words, his mind and heart were both filled with happiness, as he spoke with a smile, Meng Jing Xiu is one of our God Wind Academys most outstanding True Condensation Cultivators, not to mention about the previous two rounds, Meng Jing Xiu even proved her strength, so of course, you can certainly have one of the quotas. Many thanks to Deacon Liu, many thanks to Senior Apprentice Brother Ning. Meng Jing Xiu was not someone who had cultivated her behaviour, but that did not mean that she did not know how to thank her benefactors. After Liu Xian agreed to Meng Jing Xius request, he turned around to Ning Cheng and said, Ning Cheng, of the other two disciples from our God Wind Academy that are going to the Angry Axe Valley, one of them is called Cang Shuo, and the other one is called Ruimu Danqin. At this point, Liu Xian beckoned, and a young man and an even younger girl stepped out from behind him and came to the front. The young man had almost the same cultivation level of that of Meng Jing Xiu, True Condensation 6th Level, he looked ordinary but had a firm and resolute face. But as for that young girl, Ning Cheng estimated that she would only be around 16-17 years in age, however her cultivation was definitely not low, it was at True Condensation 5th Level. This young girl had a pair of bright eyes but because of her long and abnormally thick lips, she looked a bit ugly, and was even a bit of a match to her name. Ning Cheng, these are Cang Shuo and Ruimu Danqin, Cang Shuos father is the current Dean of the God Wind Academy who is in closed door training. Ruimu Danqin is one of the geniuses that my God Wind Academy managed to rope in, I want to ask you to take care of the two of them in the Angry Axe Valley....... Liu Xian asked Ning Chen in a very sincere tone. Chapter 0122 – Going To The Angry Axe Valley Chapter 0122 C Going To The Angry Axe Valley Ning Cheng had continuously been on the run outside, plus with his short beard, he looked quite a bit older, but the fact was that Cang Shuo was actually much older than Ning Cheng. Although he was older than Ning Cheng, he had personally seen Ning Cheng fight so fiercely on the duelling tform, even someone as powerful as Lian Hao, was ultimately not able to even get down from the tform, which made him really admire Ning Cheng from the bottom of his heart. He knew that although his cultivation level looked to be higher than Ning Chengs cultivation, but if he really fought with him, he was definitely not a match against Ning Cheng. Now that Liu Xian wanted Ning Cheng to take care of him and Ruimu Danqin, he immediately cupped his fists in front of him and said to Ning Cheng, Cang Shuo greets Senior Apprentice Brother Ning.... Although he could definitely call Ning Cheng as his fellow brother, but he did not do so. Let alone his status,pared to Ning Cheng, he did not know how many more times higher was his status than his own. Ning Cheng also quickly said, Brother Shui should be older than me, so you can definitely call me by my name directly. But Cang Shuo immediately spoke up, My father had always told me, that in the Yi Xing Maind, only strength mattered. Everybody has already seen Brother Nings strength, as such for this Cang Shui to call you as his Senior Apprentice Brother is something that is a must. Ruimu Danqin was obviously not very sophisticated, when she saw Cang Shuo call Ning Cheng as his Senior Apprentice Brother, she also immediately followed his heels and also called him as Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng. She had also been looking at the fights of Ning Cheng, and listening to the people nearby discuss about her Senior Apprentice Brother Ning Xiao Cheng, she also ended up admiring him from the bottom of her heart. After the two people greeted Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng said to Liu Xian, Deacon Liu, even if you had not spoken to me about it, me, Cang Shuo and Ruimu Danqin are all from the God Wind Academy, so by rights we ought to help out each other. There is only one thing that this Ning Cheng wants to entrust to Deacon Liu...... Liu Xian was already very suave, Ning Cheng had not even said the words, before he knew what Ning Cheng wanted to say. And immediately said, Ning Cheng, you just go to the Angry Axe Valley. Ji Luo Fei is also a disciple of my God Wind Academy, I will certainly not let her suffer any kind of injustice. I had already agreed to give you your own Immortals Cave for cultivation. After Luo Fei follows me back to the God Wind Academy, I will let her choose what cave she wants by herself. Seeing Liu Xian be so tactful, Ning Cheng was filled with happiness, he hurriedly thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and started discussing the matter rting to the Angry Axe Valley. Themotion caused by the Tournament of the 5 Star Academies had finally subsided. There were a lot of people happy, while there were still many who were unhappy. The biggest winner was the Falling Star Academy, but not only did it not stand out, it even got promoted in rank to a 6 Star Academy, moreover they also obtained a quota of five people to enter the Angry Axe Valley. As for the dead Shui Yu, it simply only had a bit of rtionship to the Falling Star Academy. Therefore, to the Falling Star Academy, other than selecting the elites who would proceed to enter the Angry Axe Valley, the most important matter to them was to proceed with the establishment of their 6 Star Academy. ...... The next day, Liu Xian and Ji Luo Fei apanied Ning Cheng, Meng Jing Xiu, Cang Shuo and Ruimu Danqin to the Mo Ze Grand za, this time there was silver coloured airship type Magic Weapon parked at the centre of the Mo Ze Grand za. Apart from them, all the people had already arrived beforehand. However, Ning Cheng and the others did not have to wait for long, when a man wearing a yellow cultivators clothing immediately spoke up, All the cultivators going to the Jia Continent, enter the airship. The airship is about to leave this ce in a short while. Ning Cheng once more urged Ji Luo Fei to not to leave the God Wind Academy, he once again came back, and again requested Deacon Liu to keep Ji Luo Fei out of trouble, then waved towards Ji Luo Fei as he entered therge cabin. When Ji Luo Fei saw Ning Cheng enter the airship, she strongly choked back her own tears. She had secretly decided, that she must go all out and desperately cultivate in the God Wind Academy. The prize that Ning Cheng had got, he had already given arge portion of it to her, and the only thing that he kept was the Storage Bag. Even the Essence Building Pill and the other Spiritual Grade Artefact, were also given to her. The silver airship soon lifted off from the Mo Ze Grand za and rushed into the sky, and soon disappeared without a trace. Liu Xian also hastily pulled out an airship type Magical Artefact, and in just a moment the rest of the people from the God Wind Academy along with Ji Luo Fei immediately entered the airship type Magical Artefact, as Liu Xian immediately took control of it and left the Mo Ze City. This was what Ning Cheng had repeatedly stressed on, so once he left, Liu Xian also did not want to stay for even half a bit longer in the Mo Ze Grand za, and immediately left. Ning Cheng guessed that since the 6 Star Academy would only be fully established after the Angry Axe Valley closes up, so in order to help out in the construction of the 6 Star Academy in the Hua Continent, the Shui n would definitely be involved, as such Liu Xian took Ning Chengs advice very seriously. The airship of the God Wind Academy had just left, when a Profound Congealing Member from the Shui n arrived. A Late Stage Essence Building Cultivator also came to the Mo Ze Grand za. When they learnt that the God Wind Academy had already left a moment ago, they somewhat resentfully returned back to the Shui n. ...... This time there were a total of 4 people going to the Angry Axe Valley from the God Wind Academy, but this group of people were indistinctly led by Ning Cheng, although in the eyes of other people Meng Jing Xiu was the most powerful of the group, but at this time she was obediently standing behind Ning Cheng. This time there were a total of 22 people going to the Angry Axe Valley from the Hua Continent. As Ning Cheng looked, he could see a lot of familiar faces. Chi Zi Wen, Meng Yu Jing, Situ Yu, Ling Naixin, Fang Xin, Pu Li Xin and even Yue Ying. What made Ning Cheng a bit doubtful was the fact that he also saw Yong Gu Yun from the Ping Continent amongst the group. Even now Yong Gu Yun was only at the peak of Qi Gathering 9th Level, but moreover was someone who came from the Ping Continent, just how did she obtain the qualifications to enter the Angry Axe Valley? Ning Cheng had still not solved the doubts, when he saw another familiar figure, but this figure quickly disappeared from his eyes, which was followed by several other people entering the cabin of the airship. Ning Cheng frowned, wondering just where did he see that figure. Although Ning Cheng had an extremely strong memory, even then he could not remember exactly where did he see that figure. An Essence Building Cultivator immediately said, Four people to a room, hurry up and go. Wait until the airship passes above the Lost Mountain Range, we may have to face attacks from a few formidable Monstrous Beasts, so when you feel the airship swaying intensely or is bumping incessantly, just stay in your respective rooms and do note out. As this person passed this message to everyone hastily, Ning Cheng couldnt help but think, this airship was flying at such a high altitude, and would still have to suffer through the attacks of Monstrous Beast, just how powerful were those Monstrous Beast in the end? Lost Mountain Range, what a weird sounding name. Ruimu Danqin whispered behind Ning Chengs back as if underestimating it. Junior Apprentice Sister Danqin, it would be better if we do not talk much here, and rather listen to Senior Apprentice Brother Ning alright. Cang Shuo immediately urged her. The Lost Mountain Range has a legend since ancient times, because this mountain range does not have a centre, so this mountain range ended up being called as the Lost Mountain Range. There is also another legend, that anyone who dared to walk past the centre of the Lost Mountain Range, whether by ground or by air, they would simply vanish without a trace. It is precisely because of this that this mountain range obtained the name of Lost Mountain Range. Our airship, is also going to pass through the edges of these Lost Mountain Range. It was a young man who was in the middle of the group who took the initiative to answer Ruimu Danqins question. Ning Cheng suddenly felt moved in his heart, he finally remembered where he had seen that figure before. The man who had answered Ruimu Danqins question walked over to Ning Cheng and cupped his fists in front of him and said, I am Fang Xin of the Luo Huo Academy, greetings Brother Ning. Ning Cheng immediately understood that Fang Xin had almost died in the hands of Lian Hao, moreover he also did not have even a half a bit of favourable impressions towards his sinister and vicious nature. Afterwards when he had helped him avenge by killing Lian Hao, he definitely felt a bit grateful towards Ning Cheng, that was why he took the initiative toe up and speak, which was also a pretty good reason. So it turned out to be Brother Fang from the Luo Huo Academy, many thanks to Brother Fang to dispel our doubts a moment ago, in fact I did not know that the Lost Mountain Range had such a history behind it. Ning Cheng quickly also cupped his fists in front of him and returned the greeting. Before the two people even said a few more words, the Essence Building Cultivator once again barked, The talking between you guys can wait till the airship passes over the Lost Mountain Range, enter your cabins first. The people who were standing and chatting couldnt stay outside anymore, as they scrambled into their respective rooms. Since there were only four people from the God Wind Academy, so all of them chose the same cabin. We will stay in the room, do not go out. Once Ning Cheng entered the room, he immediately said to the remaining three. Since Ning Cheng was now the representative of the God Wind Academy, nobody expressed any kind of objections to his words, and immediately sat down in session with their eyes closed. Meng Jing Xiu wanted to ask Ning Cheng how he had managed to kill Lian Hao, but since she saw that Ning Cheng apparently did not want to talk, she also did not dare to take the initiative to disturb Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng at this point of time was thinking about the figure he had seen, he had finally remembered who that figure was. It was the figure of that bald man, with the cultivation of True Condensation 3rd Level, that he had seen in the Mo Ze City, that fellow had a Jade Bracelet on his hands which had somehow drawn his interest towards it. But the reason why he couldnt remember at that point of time, was because he saw that the figure he had seen was dressed up as a woman, moreover a woman with long hair. A bald headed man and a long haired woman, no wonder he took a while to make that connection. Just who was this young long haired girl that Ning Cheng recognized, was it really that girl from the Thunder Fall Desert, the one who was called King Xiu Xiu. Ning Cheng had met that King Xiu Xiu and herckey in the desert, and only now did he realize that there were quite a few simrities between her and that man wearing the Jade Bracelet, and to think that these two individuals turned out to be somewhat simr. But to Ning Cheng, as long as there was even a bit of simrity, he could immediately associate them with each other. Ning Cheng was not sure if this bald man was that Xiu Xiu, but he definitely knew that he definitely had some kind of great rtion with her. Moreover, Ning Cheng had had already determined that initially when he saw that bald headed man on the Grand za, he was drawn towards him because of his bracelet, it was definitely not by chance. Regardless of whether that person called King Xiu Xiu came here for the Angry Axe Valley, or whether they came for his Imperial Jade Seal, Ning Cheng became a little more alert in his heart. That young girl had also entered the ruins of the Lan Yi Country, but in the end also came out unharmed, as a result he had determined that she definitely was not a simple person. Cang Shuo, how did our God Wind Academys Dean got injured? Is his injury serious? Ning Cheng in his mind was a bit suspicious, as the people here were too rxed. He had not asked Liu Xian about the extent of the Deans injury, with Liu Xian being a crafty old fox, as long as he asked about it, the others would know what he had meant. The reason why he had asked about the injury of the Dean Cang, was because he was still somewhat worried about Ji Luo Feis safety. If the Profound Core Dean of the God Wind Academy was not really heavily injured, then at least Ji Luo Fei would have another level of protection from God Wind Academy. Cang Shuo apparently did not think much about such things, so when Ning Cheng asked about it, he hastily replied, Many thanks to the care shown by Brother Ning, at this moment my father is seriously injured, this time the reason why I am going to the Rainbow Axe Valley is to search for the Rainbow Light Grass...... Rainbow Light Grass? Ning Cheng was really shocked in his heart, looking for the Rainbow Light Grass, didnt it meant that the Core Lake of the Dean was seriously injured? For a Profound Core Cultivator, if their Core Lake was injured, then it was equivalent to them being a disabled person. Moreover, he had even obtained a Rainbow Light Grass in the Daan Forest before, but he had auctioned it off, now that he came to think about it, it really was unfortunate. Chapter 0123 – The Yi Xing Ocean Chapter 0123 C The Yi Xing Ocean Thats right, not only I want to go look for the Rainbow Light Grass, but I even have to find more than one stub of it. A single stub of the Rainbow Light Grass, is simply not enough to refine the Profound Secondary Rainbow Pill. Cang Shuo said with a low tone. Ning Cheng nodded, The Profound Secondary Rainbow Pill is one of the top four, if not the top five pills, useful for the Profound Core Cultivators, and is also one of the truly difficult to refine pills. With the cultivation level of the Dean in the Profound Core Realm, who in the Hua Continent can even hurt him? Cang Shuo was silent for a moment, but then suddenly ced a Sound Insting Restriction around the two of them. Ning Cheng looked at Cang Shuo in a puzzled manner, but did not ask anything, he knew that the reason why Cang Shuo put a Sound Insting Restriction was so that Ruimu Danqin and Meng Jing Xiu would not be able to hear their conversation. Could it be that there was still something more to the serious injuries sustained by the God Wind Academys Dean Cang? Brother Ning should know about the Yi Xing Ocean, right? It is thergest water body outside of the Yi Xing Maind. Cang Shuo unexpectedly did not speak directly about the matter of the severe injury to his father, instead he spoke about the Yi Xing Ocean. Ning Cheng shook his head, All I know about thergest water body is the Mingot Sea Area, Ie from the Ping Continent, thus I am very much familiar with only the Mingot Sea. Cang Shuo shook his head and spoke, The Mingot Sea and its surrounding area is just an ind sea area, although it isrge butpared to the Yi Xing Ocean, it is nothing more than just a drop in an ocean. Many people know that the Yi Xing Maind is iparably vast, and is divided into 9 different continents, moreover these 9 continents are ssified into Lower ss Continents, Intermediate ss Continents and Advance ss Continents. But in actuality, the Yi Xing Maind is also something that could not be evenpared to the vastness of the Yi Xing Ocean. The Yi Xing Ocean can only be seen from the edges of this maind, moreover in these so called Lower ss Continents, only from the Hua Continent can one ess and arrive at the Yi Xing Ocean. But the Ping Continent and the Yuan Continent cannot see the Yi Xing Ocean, and can only see and ess the ind sea area, which is the Mingot Sea Area. Ning Cheng took a breath, he knew that the Ping Continent was in itself veryrge, moreover even in the Hua Continent, he knew that he had not even travelled a small portion of it. As for the Yi Xing Maind, he simply did not know how big was it. Now listening to Cang Shuo say that the Yi Xing Ocean was actually muchrger than the Yi Xing Maind. Just what level of cultivation level would it even require to travel anywhere they wanted? It was simplyughable that he was still thinking about leaving the Yi Xing Maind and even returning to Earth. After Cang Shuo came to know that Ning Cheng did not know about the Yi Xing Ocean, he tried to exin it even more clearly, The reason why I know this is not because my experience is broad, but because it was my father who had told me about this. Among the cultivators with a high level of cultivation, there is another kind of thing that they also know about, that is, other than the 9 continents of the Yi Xing Maind, there is an additional 10th Continent. It is just that this 10th continent is separated by the Yi Xing Ocean, and as such is not something that could be seen. Ning Cheng nodded. He did not find this strange. In ancient China, even they did not know about the existence of the American Continent that was lying across them on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. For a to have more than one maind, such a situation should be quite normal. I heard that this 10th Continent is the ce that the truly great masters of the Yi Xing Maind gather, moreover it is said that the highest cultivation there even surpasses that of the Crucible Transformation Realm. Of course, my dad is also not sure about it. As Cang Shuo spoke till here, Ning Cheng asked with some doubts, I have heard that the highest cultivation level that one could cultivate to, in the Yi Xing Maind, is up to the Crucible Transformation Realm, and if even your father cant say for sure about that, then how can you even know about this matter? Cang Shuo said with a sigh, This ce called the Yi Xing Maind is not as calm and steady as it looks on the surface. Besides the innumerable Monstrous Beasts thate tide after tide from the ocean, the thing that is even more fearful than them, are the foreign invaders thate from the Yi Xing Ocean. Monstrous Beastsing tide after tide from the ocean? When Ning Cheng heard about the Monstrous Beast tides, he immediately thought about the beast waves that he had encountered in the waters of the Mingot Sea. Cang Shuo shook his head, Not only Monstrous Beast, but also the cultivators thate from across the Yi Xing Ocean. Wanting to cross the Yi Xing Ocean is as hard as transcending the heavens, it is even innumerable times much more difficult than cultivating to the peak in the Yi Xing Maind. Therefore 9 out of 10 cultivators who try to cross the Yi Xing Ocean end up falling over the skies of the Yi Xing Ocean. But there is also a fraction of those cultivators who were able to find a few inds that wereparable to the continents here, in the Yi Xing Ocean, before they kicked the bucket. In these continental sized inds, they ended up spawning multiple descendants. Although some of the inds were even bigger that the continents here, but the resources there are very limited. With their descendants growing more and more in number, it ended up in creating a huge deficiency in their resources. So they had to seek out other inds that had more resources, as a result they ended up finding the Yi Xing Maind with its 9 continents, this kind of thing is as such not much surprising. Ning Cheng gained a bit of understanding and asked, Do you mean to say that the people who attack our Yi Xing Mainde from those continental sized inds? Why is this? The Yi Xing Maind is extremely vast, those people could also easilye here and find a ce to cultivate in secret. Cang Shuo said, Do you even know just how many people that they amount to, they are not just in tens of thousands, but even the number of several tens of billions would be insufficient to estimate their numbers. Not only that, they also have some sort of control over the Monstrous Beasts in the Yi Xing Ocean. They just want to turn this maind into one of the territories of the inds, as such the fight for the maind has never stopped till now. Because the Hua Continent is far from the battle being fought at the front against the Yi Xing Ocean, as such it is rtively calm here. The reason why my father got injured was because he had fought on the battlefield against those from the Yi Xing Ocean. Isnt this the War of the 3 Continents that I heard about? Ning Cheng said as he nodded his head, when he had arrived at the Cang Qin Province, he had heard about this War of the 3 Continents. He not only heard about it, he also knew that the reason why the Falling Star Academy came to the Cang Qin Academy to select 10 students from there was because there was a Profound Core Master from the Ping Continent who had earned great merits in this War of the 3 Continents. This meritorious Profound Core Cultivator was called Lian Hao Yan, when Ning Cheng thought of this name, he suddenly thought about Lian Hao who he had killed, as the two names only differed by a single character. Cang Shuos tone suddenly became gloomy, If my father really fought in this War of the 3 Continents, then it is highly likely that it was dered that he was actually injured by a cultivator who came from the Yi Xing Ocean. But the fact is, he was yed by one of the people from the 3 Continents and as a result received such an internal injury, although my father had vowed revenge on him, but because of his injured Core Lake, even if he was angrier, he could only clench his teeth to swallow air. Ning Cheng did not ask, he knew that by the tone of Cang Shuo, he would surely speak about who had injured his father. The person who had injured my father was the Profound Core Cultivator of the Shui n, Shui Yi Han in coboration with the Profound Core Cultivator Lu Ye of the Luo Huo Academy, these two people are simply too sinister and ruthless. To secretly try and kill people on their own side, while also iming that the act was in the name of righteousness and justice, these people are just too shameless to the extreme. It is really unfortunate, that my father is the only person to know about their evil conduct. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, since you also have an enmity with the Shui n, that is the reason why I am telling you this. That Profound Core Cultivator of the Shui n who sneak attacked my father, although my father was also seriously injured, but at the moment he also should be in the process of healing his wounds, but his injury whenpared to my fathers serious injury is simply too light. Cang Shuo said, as in his eyes shed sparks of anger. After listening to Cang Shuos words, Ning Cheng suddenly stood up, as his face immediately turned ugly. He had never thought that the Profound Core Dean of the God Wind Academy was unexpectedly severely wounded by that Profound Core Cultivator of the Shui n. For him to leave Ji Luo Fei in the God Wind Academy, was it really the correct decision? In case that Profound Core Cultivator of the Shui n had healed from his injuries, and then came looking for the God Wind Academy, just how could he not imagine what would happen? But I think that Shui Yi Han of the Shui n, even if he heals from his injuries, will not dare to casually look for trouble with my God Wind Academy. The God Wind Academy anyways, is a 5 Star Academy. Therefore, even if we do not find the Rainbow Light Grass, I will definitely return to the Hua Continent. Cang Shuo did not care of what Ning Cheng was thinking about, and spoke in a resolute way. Ning Cheng was already not in the mood to talk with Cang Shuo anymore, he at this moment was impatiently waiting for the Angry Axe Valley to close, so that he could get back to Ji Luo Fei in the God Wind Academy. If he had known about this beforehand, then even if it was extremely risky, he would have brought Ji Luo Fei with him. Cang Shuo saw that Ning Cheng was silent, so he also did not speak again. At this time, the cabin that they were in suddenly started shaking. Not only was it shaking, but the shaking was even growing more intense by each passing moment. Senior Apprentice Brother Shuo, what is going on? Ruimu Danqin immediately asked in panic, she was the youngest among them, and as such was unable to adapt quickly to unexpected events. Cang Shuo also did not know what was going on, when the Sound Jade Tablet in the room suddenly emitted a voice, The airship is encountering attacks from the Monstrous Beasts from the Lost Mountain Range, everyone be in your rooms, and do note out casually. Ning Cheng was secretly horrified, this airship was flying at an extremely high altitude, for the attacks of the Monstrous Beasts to reach this high, just what level of Monstrous Beasts were they, arent they a bit too powerful? The jolting and tumbling,sted for almost a full day, before it slowly stabilized. Those Monstrous Beasts should have been killed off.... Feeling the room finally calmed down, Meng Jing Xiu said as she heaved a sigh of relief. The rest of the few people also felt relieved, if the airship waspromised in anyway, since it was flying at such a high altitude, even if they didnt die in the fall, they would end up falling into the Lost Mountain Range and would then be in an even more perilous situation. Just as the feeling of calmness was setting in, the airship jolted once again. Just like that, the airship continued to once again shake uncontrobly, the people staying in the airship had already lost interest in cultivating, as they were living in trepidation as every single day passed by, everyone was fearing that the airship would finally end up being broken through by one of the attacks from those damned Monstrous Beasts. It was only half a monthter, that the airship finally calmed down and steadied itself. In this half a month, only a very few people came out of their cabins, and that too only when the ship was asionally calm and steady, and would onlye out to eat dinner outside their cabins, before immediately going and hiding in their rooms. Even Ning Cheng had gone out several times, but he never saw that King Xiu Xiu again. After experiencing another half a month of constant turbulence, the airship finally smoothed down, as Ning Cheng also rxed a bit. He did not want to fall into the Lost Mountain Range, once he fell into the Lost Mountain Range, then he did not know when would he be able to return to the Hua Continent. Ning Xiao Cheng, Senior Kang has invited you toe meet him. At this time Ning Cheng saw an Essence Building Cultivator open the door to his cabin and spoke out to the few people inside. This person was known by Ning Cheng and the other few people in the room, when Ning Cheng had firste onto the airship before, Ning Cheng and the others had met him before entering their room. Ning Cheng stood up with some doubt, he did not know who this Senior Kang was. But since he was, at the moment, on someone elses airship, then no matter which senior called him, he can only go and visit them. Following the Essence Building Cultivator, he arrived at the deck of the airship, Ning Cheng then discovered that the deck was covered in bloodstains as the traces of fights had not yet fully been erased. Ning Cheng had also studied a bit of Array Formations before, so he knew that the Defensive Array Formation on the deck had been rearranged recently. This airships deck was clean when they had departed from the Mo Ze Grand za, but now it was filled with a lot of bloodstains, it was obvious that in the second half of the month that they were traveling, the ship was attacked quite a bit. A dignified man was sitting on a green wicker chair on the edge of the deck, there was a white jade table in front of him with a cup of Spiritual Tea ced on it, this Spiritual Tea was apparently freshly brewed as it was still giving off steam. When Ning Cheng saw this man, he immediately recognized him, he was the majestic looking man who had presided over the 1st and 2nd round of the Tournament in the Mo Ze Grand za. He immediately knew that he should be that Senior Kang, he hastily came forward and bent forward to give a respectful salute and said, Junior Ning Cheng meets Senior Kang. You are Ning Cheng? The dignified looking man asked with a light voice. This junior is indeed him. Ning Cheng replied with a bit of anxiety in his heart, he did not understand what the hell did this person asked to see him for. This dignified looking man nodded and actually did not inquire about why Ning Cheng had changed his name, instead he simply pointed to the green wicker chair opposite to him and said to Ning Cheng in a genial way, You can sit down, I want to ask a few questions. Chapter 0124 – Outside The Angry Axe Valley Chapter 0124 C Outside The Angry Axe Valley Ning Cheng suppressed the fears inside his heart as he spoke, In the presence of Senior, this Junior doesnt dare to sit. Senior can freely ask what he wants to ask, and this Junior will definitely answer everything he knows. A person under anothers roof, has to bow down their head, Ning Cheng thought in his mind as he sighed internally. This Cultivator surnamed Kang has definitely surpassed the Profound Core Realm, and was, at the least, a Cultivator of the Soul Essence Realm. A cultivator in the Soul Essence Realm, as the name implied had their own Soul Essence. Even if their physical body was damaged, as long as their Soul Essence existed, they can seize another body and resurrect themselves. Or perhaps even reshape their body if they wanted. A Soul Essence was not only the persons soul, it can be said that it was an alternate body without the flesh, as such most of the cultivators with Soul Essence have such a capability. The dignified looking man simply nodded, as he expressed his satisfaction with Ning Chengs tactfulness. He slightly hesitated for a moment as he said, What are your Spiritual Roots? This Junior has not been tested in detail, but when this junior joined a 2 Star Academy before, this Junior had taken the test once, and as such knows that he only has 4 fairly good Hybrid Spiritual Roots. Ning Cheng replied without hesitation. Ning Cheng already knew that by now a lot of people had already acquired the information that he had a 4 Line Hybrid Spiritual Root, so he did not necessarily have to conceal anything. The reason why he said that his own Spiritual Roots were Hybrid Spiritual Roots rather than Hybrid Support Spiritual Roots was also to exin his cultivation. I watched thepetition, you could have easily helped the God Wind Academy to take the first ce, why did you finally give up on it? The dignified looking man continued. Ning Cheng calmly replied, After this Junior joined the God Wind Academy, only then did hee to know that the Dean of the God Wind Academy was seriously injured, Deacon Liu Xian thought that the God Wind Academy would not remain standing without the help from the seniors from the Intermediate ss Continent. Even if it was promoted to the status of a 6 Star Academy, we all knew that we could not hold that ce of the 6 Star Academy. Moreover, this Junior had a deep discussion with Deacon Liu, and as such came to the conclusion that the God Wind Academy was really not eligible to qualify for the title of a 6 Star Academy, and therefore took the initiative to give up on the idea of the God Wind Academy taking the first position. It is not that this Junior deliberately tried to not take the first position, I hope that Senior would see this point. Ning Cheng did not intentionally pretend to be confused, although it was obviously his idea, but he had vehemently imposed it on Liu Xian, he believed that the person in front of him, would not go and confront Liu Xian for this kind of small matter. The dignified looking man nodded. What you said is right, the tournament was conducted too hastily, the third round of the tournament truly was not a good way to select the strongest 5 Star Academy. At best, they could only select their most formidable True Condensation Realm Cultivators. Well now that we have touched upon this matter, I would still like to ask again, with your 4 Hybrid Spiritual Roots, properly speaking your cultivation should not have risen this quickly. Why are you at the cultivation level of True Condensation 3rd Level? Ning Cheng did not hide anything and immediately replied, that it was because he had encountered a Spiritual Essence Pool in the Daan Forest. And even took the initiative to draw the directions to its location for the dignified looking man. The dignified looking man had already known that Ning Cheng had obtained his current cultivation through the Spiritual Essence Pool, so when Ning Cheng answered, he did not find it strange, he only nced at the directional map that Ning Cheng drew, and simply did not show any approval or disapproval towards it. I saw that in the tournament, you evenprehended the Axe and Spear Intent, moreover even your Spear Intent had touched on the Realm of Minor Aplishment. For an ordinary person, even if his intelligence went against the heavens, they would not be able toprehend two different types of Killing Intents at such an early age as you, can you help me understand this please? Ning Cheng was secretly relieved, he was not afraid of this man asking why his cultivation was so high. What he feared was this person asking about the time when he had encountered the Spiritual Essence Pool. If the opposite party had asked about it, then he really did not know how to answer it. If he had lied to the opposite party, then he feared that the opposite party would clearly investigate this matter, and if they found that he had indeed deceived them, then he knew that he would simply die without knowing what had happened. Now that the opposite party had not asked that question, Ning Cheng was certain that the other party had not investigated him in detail. Thinking about this made Ning Cheng feel a bit calm in his heart. He slowly exined that he had encountered arge battlefield in the Daan Forest, and even clearly stated about the Spear and Axe marks that were present there. Moreover, he even took out the broken Spear from his Storage Bag and passed it over to the dignified looking man. The dignified looking man took the broken Spear in his hands. And spoke to Ning Cheng in a slightlycent tone, I realized that this kind ofprehension ability is something innate, it was because of this reason that I had selected that particr topic for the disciples of the 5 Star Academy, because of it, it was very easy for me to find the answer that I was looking for. Ning Cheng hurriedly spoke with the best of his ability when he heard the other party ask about how heprehended the 2 different types of Killing Intents. But in his mind and heart, he felt even more fearful and rmed. The thing called as Origin was not something that he could understand right now, but he was sure that the reason why he could understand the origins of those types of Killing Intents this early had something to do with the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Moreover, the man in front of him had obviously figured out that Ning Cheng also had powerfulputing capabilities. After checking the broken Spear in his hands, he simply handed the broken Spear back to Ning Cheng and asked, Since you have a Hybrid Spiritual Root, so it is normal that you could not see the changes in the leather parchment. But with yourprehension ability, you should have been able to answer the first question which asked if there was any change, so why did you write that the leather parchment did not change at all? As long as you wrote that it changed, even if you did not know the answer to the following questions, wouldnt you be able to score 5 more points? Ning Cheng quickly replied in a respectful manner, After this Junior had seen the questions, he knew that there definitely was at least a single change. However, this Junior thought that it was simply an opportunistic thing, and did not attempt it. Although if I had done it, this Junior may have gotten an additional 5 points, but it would not have helped in acquiring any position other than what I had already obtained, so rather it would only be better that I filled in the truth. Moreover, even if this Junior filled out that there was a change, Senior now already knows that this Junior would not have written it truthfully. This Junior, who had yearned to go to the Angry Axe Valley, really did not want to give a bad impression to Senior. The dignified looking old man nodded, giving a slight hmm, showing that he was satisfied with Ning Chengs reply, Thats good, to have such a formidableprehending ability at such a young age, and also able to restrain ones desire, you surely will have a bright future ahead of you. Ning Cheng had a bit of contended look sh in his eyes, although he was able to notice this look in Ning Cheng, but he did not think much of it. After all he was still in his youth, as Ning Cheng did not seem to be over 30 years of age. Since he was able to have some small achievements till now, such kind of contended look in his eyes was understandable. Because Ning Cheng had a beard, and had experienced many things in the Daan Forest and the Thunder Fall Desert, as a result he looked much older that his true physical age. If this man knew that Ning Cheng was only 19 years old, he would have definitely not have thought like that. If you have any questions, you can ask me. The dignified looking man finished asking questions, as his tone and expression also softened a lot. Ning Cheng hastily asked, Senior, is the entrance to the Angry Axe Valley in the Jia Continent? The man gave a faint smile, Thats not it, rather the Angry Axe Valley has a total of 6 entrances, but all the entrances are either in the other Intermediate ss Continents or the High ss Continents. The closest entrance near the Hua Continent is in the Jia Continent, though strictly speaking, the distance between the Jia Continent and the Hua Continent is actually much shorter that the distance between the Hua Continent and the entrance to the Angry Axe Valley, this is simply because they are separated because of the Lost Mountain Range. After we cross the Lost Mountain Range, then flying for a couple of days more, we would arrive at the entrance to the Angry Axe Valley in the Jia Continent. Listening to the answer from the dignified looking man, Ning Cheng quickly said, Many thanks to Senior for dispelling this doubt, this Junior does not have any other questions. Not having any questions was simply not possible, Ning Cheng wanted to inquire about the 10th Continent. And even more so wanted to inquire about some of the things rted to the Yi Xing Ocean. But he knew that it was simply ridiculous, since the opposite party had called him, and although he did not necessarily suspect him, but there surely would have been some doubts about his Axe and Spear Intents. Of course, not asking even a single question was just as bad, as this was something that Ning Cheng had read early on in Psychology. If one asked questions as a student, then it would lower the other persons guard towards yourself imperceptibly. Well then, why dont you get back to your room. The rest of the distance should not be much dangerous, and you can even take a walk outside on the deck if you want. The dignified looking man finished speaking to Ning Cheng as he reached for the cup of Spiritual Grass Tea that was ced on the white jade table. Ning Cheng hurriedly said his goodbyes and returned to his room in a hurry. ...... Back again in the room, Ning Cheng was in no mood to talk. He wanted to inquire more about the things pertaining to Lian Hao Yan, but he first took out the Alchemy Jade Piece that the old woman had given him before. As for the rest of the three people, seeing Ning Cheng was not in a mood to talk, tactfully got the message and quietly concentrated on their cultivation. After a few days passed by, Ning Cheng and the several others on the airship felt their centre of gravity drop, they all knew that the airship was now finally descending. Ning Cheng quickly put away the Jade Piece that contained the information about Alchemy, and said to Cang Shuo and the others, Get ready to disembark. After we enter the Angry Axe Valley, everybody try your best to not get separated from each other. I have heard that it is very dangerous inside, each time the Angry Axe Valley opened, it resulted in the deaths of many people. I know, Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng. Ruimu Danqin spoke in a crisp voice, although she had the cultivation of Middle Stage True Condensation Realm, but because she was protected as a baby in the God Wind Academy, she had practically no opportunity to exercise her strength. Compared to the rest of the girls of the same age, she was well below and far from being equal to them in terms of experience or strength. She only knew that she had to do everything and listen to her Senior Apprentice Brother Ning Chengs words. That Yue Ying, whenpared to Ruimu Danqin, was not much older, yet her mentality was so mature which was totally like a person who had ventured the Jiang Hu for a long time. After the airship came down. Ning Cheng followed the crowd off the airship. This time Ning Cheng especially paid attention to that man he had seen on the airship, the one who had a close resemnce to that King Xiu Xiu. At this time, she had her head lowered and moreover was wearing a veil scarf over her face, this time even her build seemed to have changed slightly, but Ning Cheng could still tell with a single nce that that woman was definitely King Xiu Xiu. Yue Ying saw Ning Cheng looking in her direction. And deliberately smiled at Ning Cheng. She was doing this just for the sake of her elder brother, moreover her view towards Ning Cheng had also had changed somewhat. Ning Cheng also gave a slight nod to Yue Ying, he was not at all interested to pay any kind of attention to a little girl like her, although she was brought to the Celestial Globe 7 Star Academy it was not entirely for a good thing, and moreover he also did not have any kind of ability to take care of such a matter. As at the moment Ning Cheng waspletely blown away by the current scene in front of him. This was simply not how he had pictured the entrance to the Angry Axe Valley as, what entrance, it was simply a huge market. Ning Cheng estimated that there were roughly at least a hundred thousand people, all over the hills and ins. Moreover, there were a variety of stalls, with various kinds of temporary stores, and was simply very noisy. Over the noise of the crowd, a white mist was shrouding the entire valley, and there was a lot of rumbling like sounds resounding in that valley, it made people wonder that it might simply explode at any time. The inside of the white mist is the Angry Axe Valley, at the moment we cant get in, anyone who tries to approach it, would be pushed away by a powerful force. The Angry Axe Valley has still not fully opened yet, after opening, everyone would be given a Jade Card, with the Jade Card in hand you can go in. The Cultivator with the cultivation of Essence Building Realm who was standing at the exit of the airship, spoke to Ning Cheng and the others. At this time, the dignified looking man with the surname Kang walked out of the airship. He nced at Ning Cheng and the 22 other people, and then deliberately turned to Yue Ying as he nodded and said, You wille with me, as for the rest of the people, you will wait here till the Angry Axe Valley opens.... Speaking till here, he suddenly stopped, he looked at Yong Gu Yun in the crowd and asked, With your cultivation of a trivial Qi Gathering 9th Level, how were you elected toe to the Angry Axe Valley? Yong Gu Yun hastily replied with respect in her voice, This Junior is a cultivator from the Ping Continent, because I had much to contribute to the Falling Star Academy, therefore I obtained a quota. Oh, isnt that Ning Cheng also from the Ping Continent like you? The man nodded and spoke. Yong Gu Yun immediately replied, Reporting to Senior, Ning Cheng was just in the Daan Forest six months ago, before he entered the Daan Forest, at that time he also had the cultivation of Qi Gathering Realm, but his progress is actually much greater than mine. Ning Cheng when he heard this, he immediately yelled in his mind SHIT!!. Chapter 0125 – Accident Chapter 0125 C ident A cultivator who had cultivated to the level of Soul Essence Realm would no doubt be prudent and meticulous in their thought process, before he had not suspected Ning Cheng of anything, and as such did not find anything strange with Ning Chengs answer at that time. Moreover, he also believed that an Early Stage True Condensation Realm Cultivator like Ning Cheng would not even think to dare to cheat him. But now, when he heard the words from Yong Gu Yun, that Ning Cheng came out from the Daan Forest in less than a year, he immediately had some doubts. A person with a 4 Line Hybrid Spiritual Root, even if they soaked themselves in the Spiritual Essence Pool, would be unable to cultivate from Qi Gathering Realm to the True Condensation 3rd Level in a short time of even one year. Ning Cheng, how old are you? The dignified looking old man suddenly turned towards Ning Cheng and asked. Ning Cheng did not have the time to answer, when he heard a loud explosion, immediately causing the entire ground to tremble violently. Behind the Essence Building Cultivator who was standing at the entrance of the Angry Axe Valley, a huge mushroom cloud rose up into the sky. This dignified looking man did not wait for Ning Cheng to reply, as he immediately took one step forward disappearing from their view. He had gone to examine the situation, but just as he stepped towards the ce that was covered with white mist, he was immediately thrown back flying with an extremely strong force. And in just an instant flew across the heads of Ning Cheng and the others, it was obvious that the repulsive force that he had suffered was extremely strong. At this time the scene in front of them waspletely chaotic, as everything had be a mess. Ning Cheng was burning with anxiousness, he knew that if at this time he could not find a solution, and waited for that dignified looking man toe, he would surely die. At this time, he suddenly saw two Essence Building Cultivators go into the mist, but they were not pushed away like the dignified looking man, Ning Cheng immediately began to work his mind. He anxiously turned around to Cang Shuo and the others, and said, Hurry up and follow me inside, if we end up separating, then find an opportunity to get together in the Angry Axe Valley quickly. With that, Ning Cheng loudly shouted out, The Angry Axe Valley is now open. Because the entrance was opened because of an explosion, one does not need the Jade Card to go in, dont wait for anything else.... The scene in front of them was already chaotic, but fuelled with Ning Chengs words it was equivalent to throwing sparks at an exceedingly dry packet of gunpowder. Just as these words came out, countless people rushed towards the entrance to the Angry Axe Valley in the mist. To Ning Chengs astonishment, the majority of the people flocking through the entrance of the Angry Axe Valley were not repelled, only an extremely few people were sent flying out. Ning Cheng immediately swept out with his Spiritual Sense at the people who were repelled by the mist from the Angry Axe Valley, and immediately affirmed that there was some sort of ident in the Angry Axe Valley. The people who were pushed out, their cultivations had already surpassed the Essence Building Realm. In other words, all the cultivators at the level of Essence Building Realm and below the level of Essence Building Realm, now had ess, instead of only those cultivators below Essence Building Realm who could go in before. Ning Cheng crazily moved forward, it was not only Ning Cheng who discovered this issue, but rather all the cultivators in front of the entrance of the Angry Axe Valley discovered this issue. At this moment more than 100,000 people were moving in like a human wave, and were precisely flowing in the direction of the Angry Axe Valley. As for people like Ning Cheng and Cang Shuo and the others, since they were already mixed into the crowd with the others, they could only move forward, in fact, he himself could not attend to other people, he knew that if he was stopped by that dignified looking man, he would die without a doubt. As for Cang Shuo and the rest of the people, even if they did not have enough time to go in, at least they did not have any danger to their life. At this time Ning Cheng did not go all out to push towards the Angry Axe Valley, as he simply allowed himself to flow along with the tide of human cultivators as he quickly entered it. As for cultivators with poor cultivation like Yue Ying and Yong Gu Yun, they simply could not even resist the tide for even half a moment, other than walking along with the tide of people at its edges, they did not have any other choice. If they tried to force themselves into or out of the flow of people, with their cultivation, it was simply courting death. Hurry up and get in there, if we go inte, the Spiritual Grasses and rare Treasures everywhere could.... Ning Cheng at this time was proceeding forward, shouting like a maniac as he entered the valley, if he did not use this situation to his advantage, then he really was an idiot. Ning Cheng, you stop for me...... The dignified looking man with the surname Kang who was repelled by the mist at the entrance of the Angry Axe Valley finally understood what was happening, Ning Cheng unexpectedly wanted to run away, moreover he was even urging others to run together with him. He, in the shortest possible time rushed towards the entrance of the Angry Axe Valley, but Ning Cheng had already stepped into the Angry Axe Valley, and he was once again thrown flying out by the white mist that surrounded it. If only he was a little bit faster, he would have been able to catch Ning Cheng. ...... After a burst of dizziness, Ning Cheng was swept away by the white mist, as he let out a sigh of relief, now that he had entered the Angry Axe Valley, at least for the time being he did not have to worry about that fellow with the surname Kang. Crash. Ning Cheng fell onto a piece of rough looking crushed stone from above, as his whole body felt in pain after crashing into the gravel. If it were an ordinary person in his ce, this much pain would have been more than enough to shave off more than half their life. Ning Cheng slowly climbed up, as he carefully looked around in all 4 directions, as he had some doubts in his mind, was this ce really the Angry Axe Valley? He could not even see even a trace of a valley, in all the four directions, all he saw was crushed stones, he could not even see the edge where it ended. Not only that, he had evene here along with a huge amount of people, but he did not even see a single person in sight, not even Cang Shuo, who was together with him. But then Ning Cheng quickly became excited, as he saw a Level 4 refining material Shining White Jade. The Shining White Jade was used as a refining material to craft top level Artefacts, moreover these pieces of Shining White Jade were very beautiful, and were very much in demand by the female cultivators. This piece of Shining White Jade was lying outside, weathering the wind and rain, and as such it was iparably bright and clean. Ning Cheng went forward and picked up this piece of Shining White Jade, as his heart was filled with anticipation, perhaps this ce would bring an unexpected pleasant surprise to him. Ning Cheng then once again looked carefully in all the four directions, and at once found several pieces of Shining White Jade. Although he was looking carefully, he did not do a thorough check of the surrounding quarry, after all, since he was in the Angry Axe Valley, this Shining White Jade was not a very high quality thing, moreover the valley would only be open for a short three months. Since the Angry Axe Valley had so many good things inside, if he stayed inside this gravel quarry, his gains would not even be worth the candle. This quarry of gravel was by no means a small one, since Ning Cheng was not familiar with the Angry Axe Valley, he thus did not dare to bring out a Flight Type Magic Weapon. As Ning Cheng was figuring out which direction to proceed in, a slight change in the flow of air immediately made Ning Cheng to dodge sideways, just as Ning Cheng almost leapt to the side, at the same time, together with a fishy smelling wind, a shadow swept towards Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng immediately brought out his Spear and gripped it in his hands, as he simultaneously saw that the shadow was a ss 3 Monstrous Beast. Its entire body was grey in colour, and was simr in colour to the gravel on the ground. Moreover, its head and neck was almost the same, and it looked like a brown bear, but was somewhat smaller in size to the bear. As for what kind of Monstrous Beast was this, Ning Cheng simply did not know about it. When Ning Cheng still had the cultivation of Qi Gathering Realm, he had met a ss 3 Monstrous Beast, although he was able to beat the Monstrous Beast, but that was in the Daan Forest, he generally did not mess with those ss 3 Monstrous Beasts. However now, although he did not mess with this ss 3 Monstrous Beast, but rather this ss 3 Monstrous Beast came to mess with him. Grind Grind The Monstrous Beast called out in a few times, it was as if a rusted gate was swinging on a broken axis, which if one heard would grimace in pain, but Ning Cheng knew that it was calling out to Ning Cheng. After seeing that Ning Cheng had taken out his Spear, this Monstrous Beast did wait for even half a moment as it started its attack on Ning Cheng. With the Spear in his hands, Ning Cheng directly used its imposing momentum, and stabbed at the gigantic head of the Monstrous Beast. This Monstrous Beast felt that Ning Cheng and his Spear was not simple, and once again grunted, as it lifted its palm and hit the iing Spear of Ning Cheng. Boom As Ning Cheng brought the surrounding imposing manner of his Spear and collided with the thick palms of the Monstrous Beast, it immediately brought out a bloody light. However, the huge force of the palm strike also transferred to Ning Cheng as he flew out with a bang, this Monstrous Beast did not even try to attend to its injured palm, as it once again plunged towards Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng forcibly stood up, and without thinking, immediately turned around and ran away. He knew that he was absolutely not a match for this Monstrous Beast, although his Spear had caused a bloody hole to appear on the palm of that Monstrous Beast, but that Monstrous Beast did not even feel it at all, and once he fought all out with the Monstrous Beast, then the best result for him would only be to die together with the Monstrous Beast. The speed at which Ning Cheng left was very quick and in just a short time, he had run out of that stone quarry. When he turned to look back, he found that the Monstrous Beast did not follow up. Ning Cheng finally understood that this stone quarry was that Monstrous Beasts territory. Thinking of this, Ning Cheng did not feel happy. The Monstrous Beasts territory was divided ording to their strength, that stone quarry apparently did not have much resources, moreover the Monstrous Beast that he had battled just a moment ago did not seem to have much skill. If it was just a single one of them, then he could at least think of something to beat it, but if he met another one, just what could he do? No matter what, he first had to get out of here. This time, Ning Cheng was extremely careful, in case he was ambushed by a ss 4 Monstrous Beast then he knew that escape, for him, would simply be impossible. Ning Cheng lowered his body as he carefully looked around, suddenly a faint aura that was familiar to him hit him. The reason why he felt that this aura was familiar, was because he had also felt the same kind of aura during the time he was in the Daan Forest, at the ce where he saw the fissure in the ground that was created by the Great Axe, moreover he had alsoprehended the Axe Intent by that fissure, and the faint aura that he was feeling at the moment was definitely the Axe Intent. Ning Cheng forcibly suppressed his surprise, he had never thought that just as he would enter the Angry Axe Valley, he would be able to feel this kind of Axe Intent in the Angry Axe Valley. But the Axe Intent here was much purer than what he had felt back in the Daan Forest, so much so that it cannot even bepared on the same level. Not only that, there also seemed to exist a particr Axe Charm within here. Ning Cheng came to understand that, the person who left those axe marks in the Daan Forest must have alsoe to the Angry Axe Valley previously. If that man had alsoprehended the Axe Intent in the Angry Axe Valley, then it was no wonder that he felt a familiar feeling towards it. Feeling the iparably clear Axe Intent, Ning Cheng actually forgot that he was still in the Angry Axe Valley, as he unconsciously moved towards the ce that contained the traces of the Axe Intent. Along the way, he did not see the axe marks, but the Axe Charm was the thing that he was focussed on, and as such Ning Cheng gradually entered into the realm in which he simply forgot about himself. At this moment, he only knew that he had to continue to unceasingly hack out with his hand toprehend the Axe Intent, as he walked step by step towards the ce where the Axe Charm was getting even more concentrated. At this moment, in the entire Axe Valley, no one ventured out to find Spiritual Grasses or rare treasures, not to mention seeking out ancient caves, perhaps they were afraid because of their low strengths, as such, at the moment, Ning Cheng was the only person who was actually moving about on the inside. To the present Ning Cheng, not to speak of him about knowing about treasures, even if he knew about it, he would not pass by this kind of opportunity, as his entire person already was in the middle of a sudden enlightenment. Chapter 0126 – [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace] Chapter 0126 C [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace] Yue Ying had hidden herself in a cave hidden behind a fewrge rocks, and was clutching a ring in her hands, she did not dare to move at all from that spot. She was brought into the Angry Axe Valley by the flowing crowd of people, she basically could not do anything at all to resist at that time. After Yue Ying entered the Angry Axe Valley, she knew that she immediately had to find a ce to hide, as she could not roam around this ce freely. Moreover, she even prayed that nobody found her here, otherwise with her cultivation of Qi Gathering 6th Level, it would be the same as reaching a dead end. What Yue Ying did not expect was that, after she entered the cave, she would immediately find a withered skeleton, which even had a ring on one of its fingers that were in front of her. Yue Ying immediately took the ring into her hands, after all she had lived in the Clear Heart Academy and the Falling Star Academy till now, so she knew that she really was lucky this time, as the ring that she was grasping in her hands was definitely a Storage Ring. For the past two days, other than the few snacks that Yue Ying ate from her Storage Bag, she basically did not go out to look around, she could hear the roars of Monstrous Beasts outside which really made her heart palpitate and was afraid to even take a single step out of the cave. After two days passed by, she finally dared toe out and take a look at the Storage Ring in her hands with the intention to study it. What made her pleasantly surprised was that the Storage Ring in her hands was unexpectedly opened very easily by her. Moreover, she found a few things inside the ring, which made her heartpletely unable to quiet down for a long time. Yue Ying then used her pitiful knowledge about Array Formations, as she once again went into hiding inside the cave, and somehow even found arge boulder to block the entrance to the cave. Once again returning to the depths of the cave, she started to carefully cultivate, while waiting for the Angry Axe Valley to close. ...... Ning Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, he felt a shadow of a Great Axe approach him with his Spiritual Sense, at this time Ning Cheng did not think of anything, and immediately lifted his hand and threw out an Axe Fist. The Axe Fist was in no wayparable to the substantial looking Axe Shadow before it simply exploded, but because it was filled with Axe Intent, as such because of the explosion caused by that invisible Axe Shadow, in the middle of his Sea of Consciousness, that had not yet fully formed, echoed a tremendous thunder like explosion. After this thunder like sound, Ning Cheng was directly thrown a few dozen meters back. As he sprayed a mouthful of blood, staining arge portion of the stony cliff he was facing. Ning Cheng immediately sat cross-legged, although he knew that the explosion of this Axe Shadow was not strong enough to kill him, but he could still feel the formidable power in that Axe Shadow. The Killing Intent of the Axe Shadow, along with its traces were continuously being assimted and taking shape in Ning Chengs consciousness, moreover even the surrounding Spiritual Qi was constantly gathering around him unceasingly. As for what was happening around him, Ning Cheng was simply not aware of it, what he did realise was that he was starting to gain a betterprehension of the Axe Shadow in his consciousness. Which caused even his cultivation level to rise continuously, moreover it was rising at a fast pace. Ning Cheng did not open his eyes, but he could still feel that the Spiritual Qi gathered around him contained extremely minute traces of an aura that he had nevere in contact with before. This type of Spiritual Qi that he was feeling was actually even much higher in quality than the Spiritual Qi that he had felt initially at the bottom of the Forbidden Cold River, in front of the entrance to the Immortal Mansion, but this kind was aura was too light, it was so light that it was equivalent of it not existing at all. But even though this kind of Spiritual Qi was light to the extent of not existing, Ning Cheng could still feel his cultivation level rising continuously under its influence. When he had entered this ce, he only had the cultivation of Early Stage True Condensation 3rd Level, but now he could feel his cultivation quickly rising to Middle Stage True Condensation 3rd Level, then Late Stage...... Together with the Axe Shadow finally starting to take shape with the help of his Spiritual Sense, he simply could not find the words to describe the formation of this Axe, the formidable Axe Intent that wasing out of this one Axe Shadow immediately made Ning Cheng to stand up, as he immediately wanted to try this axe out. Once this axe had fully formed in his consciousness with the Axe Intent, he suddenly realized that his cultivation level had directly advanced from the Late Stage True Condensation 3rd Level, breaking through the shackles and immediately arrived at True Condensation 4th Level. Ning Cheng suddenly issued a long and loud shout, as he immediately stood up. At this time, he could now clearly see a skeleton a few dozen meters in front of him, Ning Cheng came to realize that he had been blown back from that same spot a few moments ago. Ning Cheng once again slowly walked towards this skeleton, before he finally discovered that there was a golden coloured Great Axe in one of its hands. The axe was almost half a meter wide, and even its body waspletely golden in colour. Maybe it was because of the erosion from the Axe Intent in the Angry Axe Valley, but this Golden Great Axe did not have even a single trace of being refined by a hand, it was as if this axe was formed naturally. The cloths on the skeleton had already turned to ash. A Storage Bag was lying near it which was already decaying, as for the things that existed in the Storage Bag, they simply did not exist anymore, there was only a golden buckleying under one of the palms of the skeleton. Ning Cheng picked up this Great Axe, and saw that there were several characters engraved on its shaft, Lan Yu Chens Golden Great Axe. Ning Cheng could immediately tell, that this axe was a best quality Artefact. He had already guessed that this Lan Yu Chen must havee to this Angry Axe Valley to understand andprehend the Axe Intent, but the difference was that Lan Yu Chen came here with his axe. Thinking about how, just after he came here, he was almost killed by the terrible Axe Shadow that suddenly attacked his Spiritual Sense, Ning Cheng had already understood how Lan Yu Chen died. Lan Yu Chen must have also arrived at this ce like him. But he could not block that one Axe Shadow, as a result this Axe Shadow from the Angry Axe Valley exploded in his Zifu, which ultimately led to his death here. After he understood this point, even Ning Cheng felt somewhat scared in his heart, if he had notprehended a bit of the simr Axe Intent in the Daan Forest, then at this time, wouldnt he also have met the same fate? Ning Cheng put Lan Yu Chens Golden Great Axe aside, now that he obtained an axe, although the grade of the axe was very low, it would at least increase his survivability in this ce. Grateful for the favour that he had received, Ning Cheng felt that, at least, he should provide a proper burial to the remains of Lan Yu Chen. He immediately carved out a pit in that stone quarry, then carefully ced the bones of Lan Yu Chen in a Jade Box, then ced that Jade Box gently into the pit. Before he covered up the pit that was supposed to be his grave, Ning Cheng also picked up the golden buckle. There were a few words engraved on the buckle, To my husband Yu Cheng, hope you carefully look out for yourself outside, your wife Miao Shu will definitely wait for you day and night.... Ning Chengs heart suddenly descended into gloominess, this golden yellow buckle should have been given to Lan Yu Chen by his wife Miao Shu, the meaning of the words of his wife meant that she wanted her husband to return to her side as soon as possible, so that they could cultivate together. But she did not think that even before her husband could evenprehend the Axe Intent in the Angry Axe Valley, he would unexpectedly fall here. Ning Cheng let out a sigh, as he remembered a poem that he had learned before, those wretched white bones piled up beside the river, were still lovers longed for in a young womans dreams. [TL Note C The actual Chinese poem is ޶ӱ߹ǣˡ It literally trantes to But arisen from their crumbling bones on the banks of the river at the border, dreams of them enter, like men alive, into rooms where their loves lie sleeping.] Compared to Lan Yu Chen, wasnt he also not the same? Ji Luo Fei was still waiting for him back in the God Wind Academy, he absolutely cannot be the same as Lan Yu Chen, he could not let the people who were eagerly waiting for him to lose hope. Ning Cheng also put the buckle into the Jade Box, as he put the Jade Box back into the pit and filled it up. This buckle was the testimony of love between Lan Yu Cheng and his wife Miao Shu, there was simply no need for him to take it away, even if it was some sort of precious treasure. Ning Cheng once again grabbed the Golden Great Axe, as a boundless Killing Intent once again poured into his mind, Ning Cheng suddenly leapt up, and swung down the huge axe in his hands. A golden coloured Axe Shadow emerged from it out of thin air, and in just an instant it hadcerated everything that was in front of the axe, moreover without breaking its momentum, a boundless Killing Intent swept across from it that split the surroundings apart. At this moment, the Axe Shadow had such an imposing might that it felt like it could even split apart the heavens itself, this kind of imposing manner was not something that could be returned. This kind of relentless killing potential was just like an autumn wind that sweeps away the fallen leaves, Ning Cheng thought, as the axe in his hands hit its target producing a tremendous explosion. When the Axe Shadow was thrown out, Ning Cheng realized that the traces of Axe Shadows that he felt earlier were exactly the same, after this Axe Shadow had taken shape from the surrounding influences from before, Ning Cheng found that this Axe Shadow had its own emotions and trajectory. Bang.... The Golden Great Axe Shadow collided with the huge stone wall in front of him, as it immediately created an astonishingly deep crack, even the surrounding rock came flying out, this Axe Shadow had left a very deep imprint of itself on the giant rock hard cliff in front of him. This was one powerful axe, Ning Cheng felt that this Axe Intent, whenpared to the Spear Intent that he hadprehended from the broken Spear before, was several times more powerful. With such a strong Killing Intent in the form of Axe Intent, it must be given a proper name. Ning Cheng could not think of a better name, since he had found this axe in the Angry Axe Valley and evenprehended his first type of Axe Intent with it, moreover since it even had such a strong and formidable imposing manner, and also imprinted a deep mark in the Angry Axe Valley, he would simply call it [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace]. [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace], this name looked very simple, but after Ning Cheng gave it that name, he actually began to like it very much. With this kind of axe in his hands, at this moment, his heart was filled with a formidable self-confidence. This Great Axe was still not refined by him, and yet it was still able to disy such a formidable might, once he fully refined the Great Axe, and fired a shot with all his strength, just how scary would it be? In the future if he got his hands on an even more powerful axe, just how far would his power even rise? Ning Cheng did not immediately refine the Great Axe in his hands, until this time, he did not have the free time to observe this ce. The ce he was in was a long and deep ravine, Ning Cheng did not know when he came in, moreover he also did not know how he came in. But this ravine was filled with an iparably formidable Axe Type Killing Intent, moreover it even was filled with Axe Charm that was everywhere in his surroundings, which made hisprehension of the Axe Intent sublimate unceasingly, and then again sublimate unceasingly. As Ning Cheng felt the surrounding Axe Charm, he was simply delighted, he decided to refine the golden axe in his hand first and then slowly take his time toprehend the meaning of the Axe Type Killing Intent in this Angry Axe Valley. Even if he could not obtain anything else from this Angry Axe Valley, as long as he couldprehend the meaning of the Axe Type Killing Intent here, for him, such a harvest was already extremely huge. Besides the Spiritual Qi in the Angry Axe Valley was also iparably better than any other kind of cultivation atmosphere, although this kind of atmosphere is very thin. Refining one of the Best Quality Artefact was not much difficult to the current Ning Cheng, but what made Ning Cheng pleasantly surprised, was that after he had refined the Golden Great Axe in his hands, he unexpectedly even obtained a new piece of information. The inside of the huge axe contained the detailed exnation about Intents. There was an essential difference between Killing Intents and Techniques, a Killing Intent is a source of power for a Magic Weapons and Artefacts and even for the Techniques derived from the Origin. If a person had a formidable control over the Killing Intents, then he/she could simply destroy any kind of obstacles with just their Killing Intents. Whether it was Sword Intent or the Spear Intent or the Axe Intent or any other kinds of Killing Intents, they were all simply extensions of the true Killing Intent, and as such all these so called Intents were ssified as Killing Intents. Moreover, even Killing Intents have their own levels simr to cultivation levels, not only they were graded from high to low in each level, but the Killing Intents were also ssified into 5 different realms. When one initially feels the Killing Intent, and can make use of the Killing Intent for a short time, then it would mean that he/she had finally started to gain insights into the Elementary Realm. Ning Cheng naturally thought, that when he had seen the Spear marks and the Axe marks in the Daan Forest, it was at that time that he hadprehended the Axe Fist for the first time, and from then on had been able to feel Killing Intents. The Killing Intents second Realm was the Realm of Minor Aplishment, where one could stimte their own Killing Intent and incorporate it into their own Magic Weapons to fight against their opponents, which would immediately increase their killing potential by almost a full level. Ning Cheng understood, that he had also simrly surpassed the Realm of Minor Aplishment, at the time that he had battled against Meng Yu Jing, he hadprehended that single Spear, it showed that his Killing Intent had already advanced to the Realm of Minor Aplishment. The Killing Intents third realm was the Realm of Major Aplishment, where one could stimte their own Killing Intent to create a kind of Killing Force, this Killing Force would not only put you in an advantageous position, it can also subject your opponent to an invisible suppression and even inhibit the opponents fighting capabilities. Ning Cheng heaved a sigh, before when he hadprehended the [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace], and when had sted out with his axe for the first time, he could now already tell that he had stepped into the Realm of Major Aplishments in Killing Intents. The Killing Intents fourth realm was the Realm of Partial Omniscience, reaching this realm, as ones Killing Intent rises, they can easily break free from the Killing Force, and one can conveniently use any kinds of techniques rting to Killing Intent simply with the tips of their fingers. As for the Killing Intents fifth realm, it was the Realm of Returning to the Void, the introduction for this realm was extremely vague, when a cultivator cultivates their Killing Intent to this realm, the Killing Intent would simply be everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Chapter 0127 – The Fight Over The Mysterious Frost Zoysia Chapter 0127 C The Fight Over The Mysterious Frost Zoysia Ning Cheng did not think that it was something strange, since his Meridians were remoulded by the Mysterious Yellow Origin, moreover he also had the chance to enter the Angry Axe Valley, soprehending Killing Intents to the Realm of Major Aplishment was quite normal. Moreover because of his monstrousprehension towards the Killing Intents, he could vaguely feel that once his cultivation of the Killing Intents reached the ends of the Realms, it would transform into something else, as to what this something else was, he was unable to understand it at the moment. Ning Cheng did not care much about these Realms, since he had the Mysterious Yellow Origin in his body, as such if he could not quicklyprehend the origins of these Killing Intents, then he truly would have been a disabled person. Putting the Golden Great Axe directly onto his back, Ning Cheng once again stood up, as he began to walk towards the depths of this Angry Axe Valley. In the Angry Axe Valley, together with the traces of Axe Charm, made Ning Cheng unable to stop his own footsteps, just when he felt that his understanding and experience had once again reached a limit, an Axe Shadow once again appeared that split the air in front of him as it tried to make its way towards the centre of his consciousness. Ning Cheng was ready this time, he lifted his hands and grabbed the Golden Great Axe on his back, and immediately chopped down with it. [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace], this was the first trace of Killing Intent that he hadprehended in the Angry Axe Valley. As he chopped down with the axe in his hands, at the same time he also exploded out with his Axe Intent. Boom.... The invisible Axe Trace and the Axe Trace in Ning Chengs mind immediately collided with each other as they exploded, which made Ning Cheng directly fly out. But because of the explosion, Ning Cheng immediately felt a stabbing pain his Zifu, as he spouted several mouthfuls of blood, as he was sent flying tumbling head over heels. However, Ning Cheng, at present, was different from before. He once again immediately flew up, and once again chopped down with the Great Axe in his hands, this chop was based on the insights that he had gained from that single axe that had exploded in his mind. The Golden Great Axe Shadow that the axe in his hands had brought out was no longer just a simple empty line, as just under the Golden Great Axe Shadow, a giant tornado formed. The tornados Axe Intent immediately gathered all the Killing Force in the surrounding several feet of it, as it condensed it into a single point, before exploding on the wall of the Valley. Rumble Rumble.... An extremely fearful rumble of something akin to thunder resounded throughout the valley, which wasing from the iparably hard stone wall of the valley, as immediately a huge crater formed at the centre because of the st. No, rather it would be better to say that the huge stone crater was formed because of the Great Axe that had mmed into it. The crater was shaped like a funnel, moreover the inside surface was as smooth as a mirror, after being cut by the Axe Intent, there was simply not even half a shred of a jagged edge, this was the effect of using his axe along with his Axe Intent a moment ago. Ning Cheng lifted up the axe and stood there for a while. There was surge of pride in his chest, the Killing Force of this form of his axe was even more powerful than the one from before, moreover once the Killing Force was condensed to a point, even if it was a cultivator at the Essence Building Realm, he believed that when this axe attack exploded on their bodies, then it would be extremely hard for him to even save their poor life. This is my Angry Axes second form. [Tornado]. Ning Chengs voice reverberated throughout the endless axe valley At present Ning Cheng was filled with excitement, he had only been in the Angry Axe Valley for just 10 days, and not only did he advance to True Condensation 4th Level, but also hadprehended the true Killing Intent. If he continued on like this, just how much would he be able to achieve in the future in this valley before it closed? With an extremely excited mood, Ning Cheng once again moved forwards towards the depths of the Axe Valley. However, this time, before he could even walk forward 10 meters, a formidable repulsive force descended on him, which made Ning Cheng quickly stop in his tracks. He affirmed that if he dared to disregard this formidable strength, and continued to proceed forward, then most probably he may be blown out of the valley anytime. If he was thrown out from this ce, then it was simply not worth mentioning, he could simplye back again, but if he was blown out of the Angry Axe Valley, then he would possibly have to face off against that mighty Soul Essence Realm Cultivator on exit. Ning Cheng once again sat down, he wanted to adapt to his surrounding changes first, and only then would he continue to move forward. However, after Ning Cheng sat down, he felt that the pressure on him was getting heavier and heavier, as he subconsciously grabbed something on the ground with his hands to support himself, but then he immediately felt that the thing that he had grabbed from the ground was something icy cold. Ning Cheng was startled, as he immediately saw that what he had grabbed was a rock, the size of a football. He immediately used his Spiritual Consciousness to swept across the rock, which made him stand up in shock. The rock that he had identally grabbed onto, happened to actually be an Exotic Wild Extreme Essence. Not only was it an Exotic Wild Extreme Essence. It was also of a dark silver in colour. After passing through so many months of hard work, Ning Cheng was now not someone who did not know anything about this world. The Exotic Wild Extreme Essence in his hands was one of the top ss crafting materials, moreover it was an extremely rarely seen existence. The Exotic Wild Extreme Essence was something that originally formed in the centre of a meteorite from space, when this meteorite fell on some, it naturally forms under a particr environment, but only after a long time. It was clearly divided into different grades based on its colour. If it was brown in colour, then it was a Rank 8 Crafting material, if it was dark silver in colour then it was a Rank 9 Crafting Material, and if it was pure silver in colour then it was a Crafting Material that went beyond the Rank 9 Crafting Materials. As to the crafting materials above Rank 9, Ning Cheng had only seen an introduction of them, but as to what use were they, even he did not know a single thing about it. But now in his hands was an Exotic Wild Extreme Essence and that too dark silver in colour, it meant that he was actually holding an extremely rare Rank 9 Crafting Material in his hands, it was simply priceless. Ning Cheng once again searched for more, and discovered four more of these Exotic Wild Extreme Essence, without any hesitation he immediately put those treasures into his Storage Bag. Including the Exotic Wild Extreme Essence in his hand, two of them were dark silver in colour, two of them were brown in colour, and unexpectedly there even was one which was pure silver in colour. Ning Cheng did not have the time to think how these Exotic Wild Extreme Essences came to being here, when an even more powerful repulsive force descended on him that tried to send him away. He already knew that there was an Axe Charm in the atmosphere in this Angry Axe Valley, which had made Ning Cheng to forcibly back off to some distance by himself, to avoid being entangled by the Axe Charm in the Angry Axe Valley. But facing this kind of strength, Ning Cheng had no room for resistance, before he was directly taken out of this ce. When Ning Cheng finally woke up, he discovered that he was standing atop a low hill. This was definitely not the ce that he had entered the valley from, Ning Cheng thought as he looked around for a moment, and immediately became surprised that there was simply nothing in his field of view in front of him, not even the entrance to the valley. Ning Cheng closed his eyes, and once more clearly saw the Axe Intent that he hadprehended in the Angry Axe Valley. At this point of time he understood vaguely that that valley was the genuine Angry Axe Valley, it was because it was a truly Great Axe that had actually divided the valley, and also why this valley contained the various things like the Axe Type Killing Intent and the Axe Charm. But not all the people were able to enter this genuine Axe Valley, only when one feels a connection to the Axe Intent here, moreover only after a sudden epiphany, could they unknowingly enter this genuine Angry Axe Valley. In other words, that was the true entrance to the Angry Axe Valley, and was not known by anybody else. Only a person who was predestined to find it could go in. Since he had the Mysterious Yellow Origin, without a doubt, he was one of those predestined people. That Lan Yu Cheng was also not a simple person, but it was a pity that his strength was slightly weaker, after entering the genuine Angry Axe valley, he could not block the first trace of the Axe Type Killing Intent. Ning Cheng looked all around the hill, and could only find a few Rank 1 and Rank 2 Spiritual Grasses, as such Ning Cheng was not much interested in wasting time collecting these low ranked Spiritual Grasses. But then a howling sound attracted Ning Chengs attention, as he used his Spiritual Sense to sweep past the hill, he immediately sensed several human shadows rushing towards the ce from where that howling sound was originating from. There must be some kind of good thing in that ce, Ning Cheng thought as he immediately hung the Golden Great Axe on his back, while simultaneously rushing towards the ce from where the howling sound wasing from. With his present strength, he was ready to fight for some good things. He knew that he could not find all the good things by himself, once people found something better, he was not the type to take the initiate and give the good things to others. In any case, since he had to fight for it, then he would not hesitate even one bit. When Ning Cheng arrived at the ce, there were already more than a dozen people present. A burst of incense like fragrance was transmitted to them with every gust of wind. What these more than a dozen men were gathered around was an icyke that was sending out repeated bursts of cold air, creating howling like sounds, while there were 9 blue mushroom shaped things floating in the centre of theke. Ning Cheng immediately identified it as the Mysterious Frost Zoysia, this Mysterious Frost Zoysia was a Rank 5 Spiritual Grass, and can be refined into a Profound Replenishment Pill. Moreover, it was also a top quality healing elixir, even if a master in the Soul Essence Realm was physically seriously injured, using the Profound Replenishment Pill would provide them with extremely beneficial results. As long as their limbs were actually not separated from their bodies, the healing power contained within the pill would be more than enough topletely heal the serious injuries in an extremely short time. Moreover, the Mysterious Frost Zoysia has an even more important characteristic, that was, even if it was not refined into the Profound Replenishment Pill, it still had an extremely good curative effect. For 90 percent of the cultivators present here, this was the most important point. Because, as most of the people do not know about Alchemy, including Ning Cheng, they simply would not be able to refine such a pill by themselves. When Ning Cheng arrived, no one paid much attention to him, here there were already more than a dozen people, so even if one more person joined the fray, it would not make much of a difference. Not to mention that the icyke was freezing cold, even without the presence of the freezing cold, with it still being so far from them, if their speed in rushing towards it was even a bit slow over such a long distance, then one would end up with not even soup to drink in the end. Ning Cheng looked at the people who were preparing to rush towards theke, other than the single Essence Building Cultivator, the rest of the people were all cultivators in the True Condensation Realm, moreover his cultivation was also not the lowest among them, nor was it the highest. This allowed Ning Chengs heart to calm down, in the end it would be apetition of speed to reach theke, at least he knew that he was definitely not worse than others in that respect. Since he had the experience of that Forbidden Cold River, coupled with his now richer and thicker True Essence, although he had the cultivation of only True Condensation Realm, but since he had already formed his Sea of Consciousness, how could he fear that he could not even snatch away the Mysterious Frost Zoysias? At the moment, the Mysterious Frost Zoysias were not yet mature, as such their fragrance was very light, once the Mysterious Frost Zoysias reached maturity, their fragrance would be countless times stronger that it was now. Ning Cheng squeezed into the tight crowd of people who were staring at the Mysterious Frost Zoysias that were in the centre of theke, after the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, the Mysterious Frost Zoysiaspletely unfolded, while simultaneously giving out a rich and thick fragrance. Ning Cheng, almost at the same time, exploded out with his fastest speed, but although Ning Cheng was fast, the others were also not slow. There was a strong Restriction over the icyke, as a result those True Condensation Cultivators who could not guard against that kind of Restriction sshed into theke. Because of the biting coldke water, most of the True Condensation Cultivators who fell into theke were not able to bear it, as such, those True Condensation Cultivators gave up on wanting to steal the Mysterious Frost Zoysias, as they hurriedly swam towards the shore. But then, immediately several waves started rolling on the surface theke, and in just a very short time several of the True Condensation Cultivators disappeared into the depths of the icyke. It was closely followed by several streams of blood emerging and merging into theke water, before the icykes surface once again turned tranquil. Seeing that, the few cultivators still outside theke felt their scalps tingle with dread, as they hurried to forcibly increase their altitude of flight. But then a shadow jumped from the iceke, catching onto a cultivator who had flown up pretty high enough over theke, immediately dragging him down. Once again there were several streams of blood merging into the icyke before it turned tranquil again. Some of the cultivators immediately became terrified as they reduced their speed, as such the peoplepeting for the Mysterious Frost Zoysias immediately became a lot fewer in number, if the rest of the people slowed down even more, then they simply would have no hope to obtain it. At this moment, the importance of a Spiritual Sense cultivated in a body fully manifested, whether it was Spiritual Sense or Spiritual Consciousness, it definitely indicated an extremely powerful cultivator, as those people immediately brought them out in front of them to help. If ones Spiritual Sense was poor, then they could only fall behind. Ning Chengs speed was only second to that Essence Building Cultivator, rather whenpared to him, the Essence Building Cultivator was only a tiny bit slower. When the Essence Building Cultivator saw Ning Chengs rapid speed that was slightly higher than his own, it made him nce at Ning Cheng with some doubt in his eyes. Their target was only a few hundred meters away, as such there was not much time to think about it, the Essence Building Cultivator arrived first, as he immediately bent down and grabbed a handful of the Mysterious Frost Zoysias, and together with it immediately rushed out of the icyke. That Essence Building Cultivator obviously had taken some precautions beforehand, as he lifted his hand and brought out a sword and immediately flicked it, his aim was the thing that rushed out from theke to stab him. It was at this time that Ning Cheng arrived. Chapter 0128 – So Strong Chapter 0128 C So Strong Just as Ning Cheng arrived, he did not go after the Essence Building Cultivator to immediately rob the Mysterious Frost Zoysias from him. Rather, he simply grabbed the Golden Great Axe on his back and immediately chopped down at the surface of the icyke. As he chopped down with his axe, he also immediately descended along the heels of his attack, while simultaneously grabbing onto several stubs of Mysterious Frost Zoysias. Aaaah...... An extremely pitiful scream emerged from the beneath Ning Chengs Great Axe, as giant waves rolled unceasingly on the water surface, while bloody lines emerged from something as it dispersed into the surrounding waters. But then immediately, that something quickly swam to a distant ce. Ning Cheng, at this moment, had already grabbed four stubs of the Mysterious Frost Zoysias. As he simultaneously turned around and ran away. There were a total of nine stubs of Mysterious Frost Zoysias initially in theke, and he knew that he wouldnt be able to grab them all, so for him, four stubs were already enough. That Essence Building Cultivator had also beaten the now heavily injured Monstrous Beast inside the water, as he picked the two stubs of the Mysterious Frost Zoysias before. As for the remaining three stubs of the Mysterious Frost Zoysias, they were each taken away by three True Condensation 9th Level Cultivators. With the four stubs of the Mysterious Frost Zoysias in his hands, Ning Cheng finallynded at the shore of theke with a very quick speed, while he simultaneously rejoicing in his heart. When he had chopped down with his axe, he had no idea where the Monstrous Beast at the bottom was at, he had simply chosen a location where it was best to perform a sneak attack from, but the result proved that what he had guessed was definitely right. Just as Ning Cheng wanted to leave, three True Condensation Cultivators blocked Ning Chengs path. Two of them were at True Condensation 7th Level, while one of them was at True Condensation 9th Level. Leave behind the Mysterious Frost Zoysias that you obtained, and you can walk away. One of the True Condensation 7th Level cultivators, who was short, said as he stared at Ning Cheng in disdain. The corners of Ning Chengs mouth revealed a hint of sneer, he knew that he would not be able to easily walk away. He had thought that the first person to block his path would be that Essence Building Cultivator, but he actually had not thought that that Essence Building cultivator would not even look in his direction, rather it was these three True Condensation Cultivators that had found him. Not only did they want him to leave behind the Mysterious Frost Zoysia, they even wanted him to leave behind all of them. Does the Mysterious Frost Zoysias that I obtained belong to you? Ning Cheng spoke with a sarcastic tone. No, but with your trivial cultivation of True Condensation 4th Level, a person like you is really not qualified to carry off four stubs of the Mysterious Frost Zoysias. Dont you think that your table manners are too atrocious? That True Condensation 7th Level Cultivator said with a frown. This was the Angry Axe Valley. So Ning Cheng did not conceal his true cultivation. Here, only the strong could talk, as such he also wished for his own cultivation to reach a high point, so he would certainly not go about hiding his cultivation. So when the opposite party saw that he had the cultivation of True Condensation 4th Level, he did not find it strange. If I dont want to give it? Ning Cheng opened his hand, as his Golden Great Axe once again appeared in his hand. The True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator who had not yet spoken, nced at the Great Axe in Ning Chengs hands and said with a light voice, It seems that your axe is filled with a mercenary spirit, it seems that you are quite rich. I think that it would have taken you a lot of gold coins, to create this kind of axe. If this True Condensation 9th Level spoke with some sarcasm in his voice, then this True Condensation 7th Level Cultivator was even more straightforward, Today, you have to give it, if you dont give it, and only want to live for a few more moments, then dont hand over the Mysterious Frost Zoysias. Ning Cheng simply did not bother with any more nonsense, he immediately casted out a Golden Great Axe Shadow from the Golden Great Axe in his hands, [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace]. He was eager to try out this attack against another person, and wasnt this kind of situation directly delivered to his doorstep. He would not even hesitate for even a bit. Ning Cheng had only shot out a single Axe Shadow, but the people surrounding him actually felt a special space formed all around them because of the Golden Yellow Axe Shadow. An extremely strong Killing Intent surged out into the surroundings along with an extremely heavy killing force. Some of the cultivators standing at the edge immediately felt terror well up in their hearts, as one after the other they continued to take a step back. Facing such an Axe Shadow that seemed to have covered the sky, gave the public a very strange feeling, that what they were witnessing, although was just a single Axe Trace. But this Axe Trace seemed to havee from beyond the horizon, no matter what they did, it was as if they were simply locked onto by the Killing Force formed from the Axe Shadow, that was now everywhere around them. That Essence Building Cultivator who was standing by the side, had his eyes filled with shock as he thought, if he was the one who was to face against that Axe, then even he did not know if he could resist such an attack. But the one who had to bear the brunt of this attack was the True Condensation 7th Level Cultivator, who at this moment was extremely horrified, it was not until this moment, that he realized, that he should not have messed with him earlier. He knew that begging for mercy was now toote, as he hastily brought out his shield to protect him. Unfortunately, the round shield was notpletely charged up, when the golden coloured Axe Trace arrived at its centre. ng A shrill sound exploded out like a thunder, the round shield was directly split into two halves by Ning Chengs Golden Great Axe Trace, and in just a spray of blood, the True Condensation 7th Level Cultivator, who could not even fight back in the slightest, was beheaded. As for the other two True Condensation Cultivators, when Ning Cheng casted out his Axe Shadow, under its influence, immediately spouted out several mouthfuls of blood, as they suddenly fell down on the ground. However, although under the effect of the Axe Shadow, their injuries were not much serious, and immediately jumped up, as they stared with panic in their eyes, at Ning Cheng. Just what kind of cultivation was this? How can the cultivation of True Condensation 4th Level go against Heavens will? Ning Cheng once again directly put the Golden Great Axe back on his back, and coldly stared at the two remaining men, Fuck off, dont let this young master see you again. The two True Condensation Cultivators did not dare say anything else, as they quickly turned away, and soon disappeared without a trace. Ning Cheng immediately picked up the Storage Bag on the ground, and setting fire to the corpse of the True Condensation Cultivator that he had just killed, leisurely walked out from that ce in front of everyone. After this incident, no one followed Ning Cheng, as all of them scattered in all directionspletely scared, as for that Essence Building Cultivator, he simply changed his direction and rapidly disappeared in just a twinkling of an eye. Ning Cheng was in a good mood, his [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace] was unexpected very powerful, and could almost, in an instant, kill a True Condensation 7th Level Cultivator. Although Ning Cheng knew that this was because the True Condensation 7th Level Cultivator truly did not put him in his eyes, as such, he was caught off guard, however he was confident that even if this was a real fight, Ning Cheng believed that he could easily destroy that True Condensation 7th Level Cultivator quickly. Since the time that all those cultivators entered the Angry Axe Valley, Ning Cheng had almost not seen any high ranked Spiritual Grasses. But Ning Cheng knew without a doubt, that the Angry Axe Valley contained many good things. Because, in just a short time that he came in, his harvest inside was innumerable times much more than what he could obtain outside. Ning Cheng was just thinking whether or not to resort to a Flying Type Magical Weapon. When he heard scream, moreover this scream was also a high pitched one. If it was just a scream, Ning Cheng would not have thought much of it, but this scream gave a somewhat familiar feel to him. He immediately swept out with his Spiritual Sense, and immediately found a familiar face appear in the midst of his Spiritual Sense. Out of all expectations, it was Yue Ying, for Yue Ying to enter the Angry Axe Valley, Ning Cheng did not even have half a doubt as to how she was able to enter. Since at that time, she was also in the same kind of situation as the rest of them, so for her to not enter the Angry Axe Valley would definitely be a strange event. In that kind of human tide, even if it was a True Condensation Cultivator, even they would not be able to resist it, let alone a trivial person like Yue Ying? At this time, Yue Ying did not have that initial kind of quiet and enchanting appearance, but rather waspletely dishevelled, even her hair was grey in colour simr to her clothes, to the extent that they could not even be distinguished apart. But these were not important, what was important was that her clothes were directly torn away by one of the two True Condensation 6th Level Cultivators who were walking towards her, revealing her pure white skin and a touch of a pink undergarment. It looks like the reason why Yue Ying had screamed a moment ago was because her clothes were ripped off. If this was Yue Yuan Hua here, he would certainly go all out against those two True Condensation Cultivators. Ning Cheng quickly turned around, and jumped near to them, while simultaneously called out sarcastically, Two Late Stage True Condensation Cultivators bullying a girl in the Qi Gathering Realm, are you even concerned about face? You are Big Brother Ning...... Yue Ying called out in surprise, as she even rubbed her eyes to confirm. She had met Ning Cheng before, moreover she had also witnessed Ning Chengs strength, so she knew that he as absolutely powerful. After a short while, she finally woke up from her daze, and immediately ran and hid behind Ning Cheng, as her iparably startled expression finally turned to a calm and steady one. No matter what was Ning Chengs character, Ning Cheng was a person that she knew, at least, he was much betterpared to those despicable True Condensation 6th Level Cultivators. A trivial True Condensation 4th Level ant.... This True Condensation 6th Level Cultivator didnt even finish his words when Ning Chengs Golden Great Axe chopped down towards him. When this True Condensation 6th Level Cultivator saw the Golden Great Axe Shadowing towards him, moreover being heavily mentally shocked by the powerful Axe Intent contained in it, he simply did not have the ability to block this axe of Ning Cheng. So strong.... This True Condensation 6th Level Cultivator did not even have the time to even speak more than two words when his body was split in half by the Giant Golden Great Axe. Ning Cheng recovered the Golden Great Axe, and felt that this Axe was increasingly getting easier to wield. If this was the broken Spear, then perhaps he would have to spend twice the effort. Because of his [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace], he could now settle things at once. Big Brother Ning, thank you, if it werent for you, I, I.... Although Yue Ying did not have that extreme fearful look on her face from before, but how couldnt she know what would have happened to her when her clothes were torn by those despicable people? Ning Cheng looked at Yue Ying for a long time, Yue Ying suddenly realised that the front portion of her clothes were torn, and suddenly became nervous. Initially she had seen Ning Cheng and Su Zhu together, but after hearing to the words of Ying Gu Yun, she had finally looked at that scene differently. Ning Cheng wanted to sleep with Su Zhu, and it stood to reason that he also wanted to do it with her...... Yue Ying grew more and more scared, wasnt this driving the tiger away from the back door only to let the wolf inside through the front door. If he really wanted to do it with her, then other than killing herself, she could not do anything else. Moreover, this Ning Cheng was so fierce that even if she wanted to die, she would not be able to. A moment ago, that person was obviously a True Condensation Master, but in front of Ning Cheng, he could not even resist for even a single moment. She hurriedly pulled on her cloths to try and cover up the exposed area, while discreetly ncing at Ning Cheng, but then she actually saw Ning Cheng frown. Her hands shook a little, as the clothes that she pulled up to cover her exposed area once again fell down, this timepletely exposing her pink undergarment and more than half of her snow white skin. Yue Yings entire body trembled, but she dared not to cry for the fear of making a noise. At this time Ning Cheng spoke, I really dont get why, you have such a dusty face along with your dishevelled hair, you simply look like an olddy, was that person from a moment ago blind? Why did he want to tear off your clothes? Ning Cheng really could not figure it out, although Yue Ying was very beautiful, even as good as Meng Yu Jing, this even Ning Cheng admitted that she was even more beautiful, but Yue Ying was simply a green pepper at the moment. If a green pepper was clean, then it would even be pleasing to the eyes. However, Yue Ying was simply not an improper person, she would definitely not take off her clothes willingly in such an open area, right? Therefore, he asked these words not because he wanted to tease Yue Ying, but because he wanted to know why that True Condensation 6th Level Cultivator wanted to tear off Yue Yings clothes. Ah.... Yue Ying was looking at Ning Cheng in an astonished way, she had never thought that when Ning Cheng stared at her for a long while, he would actually say such kinds of words. Chapter 0129 – Bringing a child to such an arrangement Chapter 0129 C Bringing a child to such an arrangement Understanding Ning Chengs words, Yue Ying was increasingly feeling discontented in her heart, she naturally was a person who knew that her looks were not worse than anyone. After she began cultivating, her appearance had got more and more refined, but wasnt Ning Chengs words implying that her looks were so bad, that nobody would even take a nce at her? At the moment Yue Yings face waspletely red as she forgot about the fear from just now, she just wanted to refute Ning Chengs sentence, though she did not know how to refute him. She was only a young girl, as such she was extremely confident and pleased with her own looks, and as such was highly concerned about it. But today there was actually a person who said such a thing, that people would not even nce at her with such an appearance. Ning Cheng was simply toozy to even realise what Yue Ying was thinking, as he simply threw a mirror to Yue Ying and said, Just look at yourself in the mirror, then tidy up at once. Yue Ying took the mirror and looked in it, and immediately let out a shrill scream. At this moment how could she find even half a bit of resemnce to her original appearance? She waspletely looking like a small dishevelled beggar. Aahh, she could see that other than the torn outer garment, her undergarment and a small area around it, there was not a single ce that would draw the attention of people to, no wonder that Ning Cheng was speaking in such a way. Big Brother Ning, I.... Yue Ying no longer used her hands to cover the torn portion of her clothes, as she nervously tugged on her clothes and said those words. Ning Cheng just waved his hands, Why did that person wanted to tear off your clothes? After your clothes have been ripped off, you know that he could see everything. Prior to tearing off your clothes, that True Condensation 6th Level Cultivator would not be so bored right? After hearing once again that her clothes were ripped, she did not hear the rest of the words, as Yue Ying once again felt somewhat nervous, as she subconsciously pulled again on her already torn up clothes. But after she again heard Ning Chengs words, her face again flushed a deep red. Cant this man be more tactful of his words? Its not right. Yue Ying immediately remembered the matter that she was doing before. She immediately looked up and said, Big Brother Ning, I understand how this kind of thing happened? Ning Cheng also nodded and said, You can speak while I listen. He believed that there definitely must have been a reason, if there really was no reason, then that True Condensation Cultivator was simply too nasty. Or the vision of that True Condensation Cultivator was truly good, for him to actually notice the figure of Yue Ying. For him to see that Yue Ying was an unmatured beauty. It is definitely because of this. Yue Ying hurriedly put her hand into her upper undergarment and took out a ring from inside it. There were a few characters shing upon the ring, Ning Cheng reached out and grabbed the ring, the ring still had a trace of warmth and fragrance of a little girl. But Ning Cheng did not care much about the small green pepper like body of Yue Ying, as he immediately swept his Spiritual Sense into the ring, as his facial expression immediately changed. It turned out to be a Storage Ring, moreover inside, not only did it contain some High Grade Spirit Stones, there were also a lot of Jade Pieces, Elixirs, Artefacts and so on. When Yue Ying took out the ring, she felt a little lost, after she took out the ring, she knew that it would certainly note back. If the ring stayed in her hands, then she knew that she would definitely be able to advance to a higher level. At this time when she saw Ning Cheng pay close attention to that ring, she immediately supplemented, Before when I obtained this ring, I had worn it on my hand, then I left my cave, to try and find something to eat, but then I remembered that this ring should not be worn on the outside. Therefore, I took it off and ced it down my chest, I did not think that I would be seen by that person.... Ning Cheng then simply passed the ring back to Yue Ying and said, You just put this ring in the ce you put it before, if you wore it on your hand then it would indeed lead to something difficult. Yue Ying hurriedly waved with her hands and said, No, I dont want it, Big Brother Ning, you saved my life, it is better if Big Brother Ning took the ring. Thinking for a while that her reason was not enough, she also added another sentence, My cultivation is too low, so this ring is simply useless for me. Ning Cheng gave a slight smile and said, Everyone wants good things, however I just want things that belong to me, or things that are fated for me. You can keep it with you, I simply have no need of your ring. Not to mention that Ning Cheng could see the shadow of Ruo Lan in Yue Ying, even if it was an irrelevant person, as long as they did not offend him or annoyed him, Ning Cheng would not try and rob their things. Whats more, Ning Cheng also appreciated that pair of brother and sister. For many True Condensation Cultivators, a Storage Ring was simply an extravagant luxury, which even if they fought with their lives on the line, they would still not be able to obtain it. However, to Ning Cheng, he simply did not have this kind of urgency to obtain such a thing. He came from Earth, so he simply was not ustomed to that kind of piging from the people who had earned them the hard way, he had his own moral bottom line. Big Brother Ning.... Yue Ying took the ring back into her hands, as she looked at Ning Cheng in a puzzled way, she did not know whether what Ning Cheng said was true or false. Take your ring and keep it safe, Im leaving. Ning Cheng spoke, while simultaneously swept out with his Spiritual Sense into the nearby cave. Outside the cave, there were traces of broken concealment type Restrictions, presumably this concealment Restriction on the cave was set up by Yue Ying, and when he broke it, that cultivator ended up meeting Yue Ying. Yue Ying hesitated for a moment, before hesitatingly speaking, Big Brother Ning, I.... If you have something to say, then dont hesitate. When you and I werepeting for that pearl hair clip, didnt I also say that. Ning Cheng smiled and spoke. Yue Yings face slightly turned red, but this time she no longer hesitated and said, Big Brother Ning, Id like to follow behind you until the Angry Axe Valley closes. Ning Cheng slightly frowned, bringing along a child in this kind of arrangement was not a good thing. If it was another True Condensation Cultivator, then it would have been alright, since this time in here, besides the cultivators in the True Condensation Realm, there were even cultivators in the Essence Building Realm. But he could also not reject her in his heart, if he did not listen to his heart and rejected her, then a person like Yue Ying, in the Angry Axe Valley would definitely end up dead. For her to even live till this time, was already a difficult to achieve thing. Big Brother Ning, I promise that I will not drag you down, as long as I survive till the Angry Axe Valley closes, I can then go to the 7 Star Academy.... Yue Wing exined eagerly. When Ning Cheng heard Yue Ying speak excitedly about the 7 Star Academy, he simply sneered in his heart. OK, first you change the clothes that you are wearing, then follow behind me to a water pool, you can then clean yourself there. Ning Cheng finally agreed to Yue Yings request. When Yue Ying heard Ning Cheng agree to her request, moreover in a clear and crisp manner, she immediately withdrew several steps back, and went to a ce from where she could see Ning Cheng, as she quickly took off her clothes. She was really afraid that Ning Cheng would simply ignore her and walk away, and as such, was once again preparing herself to hide in the cave in an event if it really happened. In a few moments, Yue Ying changed her clothes, and straightened her hair, although it seemed to be a mess. But at least she was much better looking than before. Come on. Ning Cheng immediately brought out his own airship, as he spoke to Yue Ying. As Yue Ying got on to the airship, she asked in a surprised manner, Big Brother Ning, you even have a Flight Type Magic Weapon? Ning Cheng was just controlling the airship to hover in the air, and had not yet gone into the full flight mode, when a lightning fast shadow directly rushed over towards them. Ning Cheng refused to answer Yue Ying, while at the same time punched out with his fist, while grabbing Yue Ying with his other hand. Bang... A formidable force directly collided with Ning Chengs fist, when this formidable force collided with Ning Chengs fist, Ning Cheng was immediately thrown out from the airship. Ning Cheng hurriedly operated his True Essence, and used his Imperial Wind Technique to glide down. When the shadow arrived, Yue Ying had not yet reacted. When she felt that she was suddenly grabbed by Ning Cheng, she was immediately startled in her heart. But she didnt struggle, she knew that in the face of Ning Chengs formidable strength, her struggle would simply be useless. A momentter, she knew the reason why he had done this, a shadow had arrived, and Ning Cheng was thrown out of the airship, even the Airship Artefact blew up when they were thrown out. If Ning Cheng hadnt saved her, she might have plunged to her death. Yue Ying hurriedly used her arms and grabbed onto Ning Cheng, as her heart was thumping madly in her chest, she was not shy, but rather worried, when Ning Cheng suddenly fell to the ground. Fortunately, Ning Cheng did not disappoint her, as with the help of the Imperial Wind Technique they slowly glided to the ground. What a beast, even my airship was unable to hold on. When Ning Cheng fell to the ground, he discovered that his airship did not fall down. At this point he realized, that he could not casually fly around in this ce. Feeling an intense softness hit him, Ning Cheng looked down and said, Yue Ying, you can let go of me now. Ah.... Yue Ying quickly let go of her hands, and spoke in a somewhat embarrassing way, I am sorry, Big Brother Ning. Ning Cheng smiled, There is nothing to be sorry about, it was simply natural that I had to save you. Before, I did not know that we cannot fly in this ce, if had known it before, I would not have tried to fly here. Yue Ying, feeling even more embarrassed said, Its not that, Big Brother Ning, I am sorry because I thought that when you suddenly hugged me, that you wanted to, wanted to.... Ning Cheng suddenly thought of the matter rting to Su Zhu, for Yue Ying to think like this, it was definitely rted to the influence from the incident pertaining to Su Zhu. He swept a nce at Yue Ying, this time he really was disinclined to exin it to her once again. Yue Ying was a very simple girl, Ning Cheng had realised this when he had first met her, although she looked more astute than An Yi, but that kind of simple and honourable nature that was ingrained into her bones, was something that she could not change. Moreover, he also knew that this person was under the influence of people like Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun. Seeing Ning Cheng sweep a nce at her, and was even disinclined to give an exnation, Yue Ying was even more terrified in her heart. She was very much afraid that if she enraged Ning Cheng, then he would simply dump her in this ce. Thinking of this, she hurriedly spoke, Big Brother Ning likes Senior Apprentice Sister Su, I really thought too much into it. Yue Ying did not exin things well, and after exining, she discovered that she was speaking something even more wrong. Fortunately, at this time Ning Cheng finally spoke up, Yue Ying, sometimes it is better to keep your own opinion about people and things, if someone is around you, then you have to determine their nature by yourself. People around you will not always be saints, and many ordinary people would, in most cases,e to you only if they could obtain some benefits. As to who is Su Zhu, well, that I do not know. But I know that at least her nature is far better than that Yong Gu Yun, at the very least she is not like those false people. If you are living under the views of other people every day, without any room for your own judgement, it will only tire you out. Although you are much better than your elder brother and even really smart to boot, but there always will be people who will try to take advantage of you. Your brother will always have an easy time in making intimate friends, but around you, a majority of people will only show false pretences. Yue Ying was absentmindedly looking at Ning Cheng, she suddenly had a feeling in her heart that this Ning Cheng was far from being the person that her Sister Yong Gu Yun had described him as, instead he was much closer to the way her elder brother had described him to be. Chapter 0130 – Sensing the Origin Again Chapter 0130 C Sensing the Origin Again Come on, it seems that from now we can only walk. This time, there are far too many people who entered the Angry Axe Valley, although the Angry Axe Valley is very big, but if we go to the ces that people have already been to, then it would not be advantageous for us. If we follow behind someone elses ass, then we would not have the opportunity to even drink soup. Ning Cheng was not much interested in continuing this kind of topic with Yue Ying, and so while he spoke, he had already sped up his pace. Yue Ying also rushed behind Ning Cheng, she did not dare to slow down the person in front of her for even a single bit. In the Angry Axe Valley, there were not many people who came in during the previous thousand years, as such it was full of either wilderness or stone quarries. There were also lush green hills with rivers andkes, but unfortunately there was never a clear path to traverse them. But this time, since there were so many people who entered the Angry Axe Valley, they could make out some vague traces of paths tread by those people. Ning Cheng, along with Yue Ying, travelled for almost an entire day, while not even finding a single Rank 2 Spiritual Grass along the way. I guess everything was taken away by the people who came in first. Yue Ying said in a somewhat timid way as she looked at Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng stopped, he could actually feel an extremely faint Origin Qi, it wasnt much. The reason why he thought that it was the Origin Qi, was because this Qi and the Origin Qi of his Mysterious Yellow Bead were somewhat simr, this was the feeling that he had in his heart. Ning Cheng did not understand the meaning of the Origin, but what he did know was that it was the Mysterious Yellow Origin of the Mysterious Yellow Bead that had let him reshape his Meridians, he could vaguely feel that as long as he could feel that Origin Qi once again, it would be a great thing. Bang.... A dramatic explosion sound arrived from the opposite direction. Ning Cheng hurriedly swept out with his Spiritual Sense. Maybe because it was simply too far, but his Spiritual Sense could not find anything during its sweep, even after a long while. But with his Spiritual Sense, he could perceive a hint of a rich Spiritual Qi. It seems that a good thing has appeared, this was Ning Chengs first thought. Otherwise it was simply impossible for such a strong and rich Spiritual Qi to appear so suddenly. He withdrew his Spiritual Sense, as his heart immediately became entangled. There were simply too many good things in the Angry Axe Valley, should he go in search of the Origin Qi, or should he go to the ce of the explosion from where he had sensed the rich Spiritual Qi? Big Brother Ning, I feel that it would be better if we went in that direction to get better things.... Yue Ying carefully said while pointing to the direction opposite to where the explosion took ce. She was worried that Ning Cheng was thinking that she was afraid, and thus only spoke those words hesitatingly. The direction that Yue Ying had pointed to, was the same direction in which Ning Cheng had felt the faint whiff of the Origin Qi, which made Ning Cheng stare at Yue Ying in an astonished way. While thinking in his mind, does this girl Yue Ying also has an Origin in her body? Otherwise, how could she feel the direction from which the Origin Qi wasing from? Thinking back to the Tournament of the 5 Star Academies in Mo Ze City, when Yue Ying won two consecutive rounds of the Tournament, it showed that she definitely had an extremely powerful memory and understanding capabilities, this made Ning Cheng doubt her even more. Ning Cheng really wanted to grab Yue Yings wrist, then use his own Spiritual Sense to carefully inspect both the inside and the outside of her body. However, he immediately choked back his own nonsensical ideas, this kind of thing would be really terrible for Yue Ying. This was simply tantamount to stripping Yue Ying naked. It was simr to using his own hands to do it. Big Brother Ning, I had a small feeling, it was simr to the feeling that I once had when I was hiding inside the cave. In fact, even I dont know if it is right or wrong, if you want to change directions then you can, you dont have to worry about what I think.... Yue Ying was thinking that Ning Cheng really was looking at her ominously. As she stammeringly brought out her own viewpoint. Yue Ying, do you know what this thing called Origin is? Ning Cheng was already thinking about it, so he finally decided to speak it out loud, since he hade over from Earth, his mental maturity was on a much higher level than Yue Yings. Moreover, Yue Ying also had a flexible mind. Therefore, she definitely was not inferior to him in getting along with people. If Yue Ying really had an Origin, she would havee to know about it as soon as possible. Otherwise she would have simply died a long time back without knowing how she died. This time, she was brought here by the cultivator with the surname Kang, it was the best example for her situation. Yue Ying simply shook her head in a daze and said, I dont know. Ning Cheng just gave a hmm and did not continue to ask, and simply said, Well first go in the direction that you talked about earlier. To Ning Cheng, the Origin Qi was infinitely much more precious than anything else. Weighing the two things, Ning Cheng finally decided to go and have a look in the direction that he had sensed the faint trace of Origin Qi from. Since Yue Ying could feel it, then who can guarantee that other people would not be able to sense it. Ning Cheng and Yue Ying immediately changed directions, while picking up their speed. An hourter, Ning Cheng could feel that the bursts of that vague Origin Qi was bing less and less frequent. He once again stopped and asked Yue Ying, Yue Ying, do you still feel it? Yue Ying just shook her head, No, I only have a feeling that it whatever it is should be nearby, as to where it is, I do not know specifically. Ning Cheng nodded, even he did not know where the source was, he only knew that it was somewhere nearby. However even when he and Yue Ying searched for another hour, they did not achieve anything. Yue Ying had thought that Ning Cheng hade here because of her proposal, but now that Ning Cheng did not find anything even after searching for so long, she was growing even more scared in her heart, Big Brother Ning, I may have been wrong. Lets look for it again, if we still cannot find it, then we will go to that ce where the explosion came from, there should be some good things there. Ning Cheng replied absentmindedly, he had already scanned the surroundings with his Spiritual Sense, not even leaving a single speck of dust. After half an hour passed by, Ning Cheng suddenly paused, he was staring at the small river that was still quite a distance from them, in his heart he had already determined that the Origin Qi wasing from the river water. They did not know where the river started from or ended at, as the river simply had no end in sight, but it was very narrow, as even the narrowest ce was only 5 or 6 meters wide. Yue Ying had already noted this river, but the reason why she took note of this river was not because she could feel that there were good stuffs in the river, but rather she wanted to enter the river to clean herself. But now that she and Ning Cheng were walking towards the same ce, this made her feel a little awkward. I want to enter the river to have a look around it, you cany on my back, Ill carry you as we descend. After Ning Cheng made sure that what he was thinking was right, he immediately spoke to Yue Ying. Theres no need for it, Big Brother Ning, I can follow behind you. Yue Ying quickly replied, she was not a fool. Once shey on Ning Chengs back, then after they entered the river, her clothes would stick to her body, this would easily let Ning Cheng take advantage of her. No, I dont want to talk anymore nonsense, hurry ande up. Ning Cheng simply did not want to exin such a thing to Yue Ying. He already had a clear understanding back when he was scrambling to grab those Mysterious Frost Zoysias, he knew that the Monstrous Beast in the waters of the Angry Axe Valley could not bepared to the Monstrous Beast on the outside. Oh. Yue Ying did not dare to refute him, and quickly stuck herself to Ning Chengs back. Even if she had not experienced such a thing personally, but when her body actually grabbed onto Ning Cheng and was secured to him with a belt, she felt her face burning. Ning Chengs Qi enveloped her in an instant, which made her utter a soft sigh. Although in her childhood, her elder brother had also carried her on his back, but she had never felt this kind of feeling. Although Ning Cheng could feel two soft spots on his back, but he did not care much about it. Ji Luo Feis chest was much more plentiful and bustier that Yue Yings, moreover he had even carried Ji Luo Feis on his back for a long time, so he could easily endure such a thing. After securing Yue Ying to his back, Ning Cheng immediately dived into the river. Although the river water was not ice cold, but even then, Ning Cheng could feel a cold chill seep into his bone marrows. Stirring up his True Essence, he rapidly swam down to the bottom of the river. Yue Yings cultivation was worse than Ning Cheng, she felt the cold invasion even more strongly, but then a burst of True Essence entered her consciousness, rapidly confronting and dissipating the chill, she could also feel a burst of heating from Ning Chengs back, which scattered the chillness around her body. So this was the meaning behind why Big Brother Ning originally wanted to carry her on his back, Yue Ying felt ashamed of her own idea. But what she did not know was that, the reason why Ning Cheng had asked her to climb onto his back was not because of this, but rather because Ning Cheng was worried about the Monstrous Beasts in the river. If it was only the ice cold water, he wouldnt care much about it. As this kind of coldness, for Yue Ying who was at Qi Gathering 6th Level, could still block it easily. As Ning Cheng swam in the river for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he did not encounter any Monstrous Beasts, Ning Cheng was now doubting himself that he may have overthought things previously. This was an ordinary river, moreover there was not even a strong Spiritual Qi here, so how would it be possible for a Monstrous Beast to live here? That icyke, that could grow the Mysterious Frost Zoysias, was obviously rich in Spiritual Qi, so for Monstrous Beasts to exist in such a ce was quite normal. But since he was carrying Yue Ying on his back, Ning Cheng did not intend to give up easily. Since Yue Yings speed was simply too slow, he might as well carry her on his back to move a bit faster. After the time it takes for another half an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng came to stop at a big piece of rocky reef, and swept out with his Spiritual Sense onto these rocky reefs. He could indistinctly already make out a Concealment Array Formation, moreover this Array Formation was very strange. Rather it would be better to say that this Array Formation was a Natural Array Formation, since the rocky reefs around them were acting as the Array gs. If this was not a Natural Array Formation, then someone went to great pains to artificially refine the Array gs in the form of these rocky reefs. But this Array Formation was a Level 4 one, something that Ning Cheng could not arrange at the moment, the reason why he was able to see this Concealment Array Formation was because this Concealment Array Formation was broken. If this Array Formation was not broken, then Ning Cheng suspected that this Array Formation would have been perhaps even higher than Level 7. If it really was aplete Level 7 Array Formation, he would never be able to find it. Ning Cheng entered the Concealment Array Formation from the broken area, and unexpectedly actually found a road paved with white jade in front of him. When he saw this white jade road, Ning Cheng immediately knew that the Array Formation before definitely was man made. For someone to arrange an Array Formation that was simr to a Natural Array Formation, just how high was theirprehensions towards Array Formations? Ning Cheng took out an Array g, and turned back to fill the gap in the broken Array Formation. Although his knowledge about Array Formations was still at a low level, but at least, when he used his low level Array g to block the broken part in the Array Formation, this Array Formation, at least barely, advanced to that of a Level 5 Array Formation. Knowing that there was no danger, Ning Cheng finally put down Yue Ying, while simultaneously passing this message to her, You follow carefully behind me, I guess that there should be some good things here. Even if Ning Cheng did not say those words, Yue Ying would not move around without his permission. Ning Cheng and Yue Ying walked for about a hundred meters along this white jade road, when a light suddenly fell on the two peoples bodies, the amazing discovery of the scenery in front of them made both of them stupefied. It was entirely separate from the surrounding water. In front of their eyes, hovered a humongous water repelling pearl, move over the river water was directly parted due to thebination of the water repelling pearl and the surrounding Array Formation. Under this water repelling pearl, there was a half-moon shaped arch. And above the arch were carved two characters, Han Xiang. Chapter 0131 – Looting Like Crazy Chapter 0131 C Looting Like Crazy At the moment, Ning Cheng did not feel even half a bit of danger from it, rather he could clearly feel that the Origin Qi that he had felt from before was actuallying from behind the half-moon shaped arch, as such he did not hesitate even for a bit before entering through this arch. After entering through this arch, a kind of peaceful looking hall greeted their eyes that was not very big in size. Right in front of them, in the dead centre of the hall was a beautiful jade table and a single chair beside it. On the right side of the hall, there was a door, Ning Cheng and Yue Ying went through this door on the side, and found themselves in a very elegant bedroom room. But the inside of this room was also iid with an Array Formation, so that, even though it was under water, it did not have the least bit of dust or grime. But still, one could not see what kind of material was used to refine the wooden bed in front of them. Near to the wooden bed, there was a small dressing table. On the dressing table was a mirror and ab. Other than that, there was nothing else. But the inside of the room was very cold, it was obvious that nobody hade inside for a long time. Big Brother Ning, this ce is underwater in the Angry Axe Valley, how can a womans boudoir be here? Since she was following behind Ning Cheng, Yue Ying asked in a strange tone from behind him. My guess is that when the Angry Axe Valley had juste into existence, a woman had ought to havee here, then for some unknown reason she didnt leave afterwards, and just remained her. Ning Cheng replied as he also tried to guess. Moreover, although he was much more familiar with the Angry Axe Valley than Yue Ying, even he would not know where the master of this ce went afterwards. Just as Ning Cheng replied to Yue Ying, who was beside him, they directly moved towards the mirror on the dressing table. He had already felt that the Origin Qi, was actuallying from inside the mirror. Yue Ying also had a kind of intuition, that this mirror was some kind of treasure, so if Ning Cheng did not want to take it away, then she would definitely take it away. She did not think that a man like Ning Cheng would go as far as to take the mirror. Even if he took it, she did not know whether he would give it to the woman who she had seen beside him in the Mo Ze City. Ning Cheng unceremoniously put the mirror away. Sure enough, he could no longer feel the Origin Qi in this room again. He finally calmed his heart down, while simultaneously determining that this mirror was the thing that he was looking for. After he put the mirror away, Ning Cheng once again looked around, but did not find anything worthy enough to pay attention to. He turned to look at Yue Ying and said, Dont you want to change your clothes? Yue Ying, at this time, discovered that her clothes werepletely stuck to her body, moreover there were even two bulges in front of her chest, which were very conspicuous. The light clothes that she was wearing,pletely revealed her slender thighs. Moreover, as she thought of this image of her that actually appeared in front of Ning Cheng, she involuntarily let out a shrill cry before she spoke, Big Brother Ning, you exit first, I will change my clothes here. Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment before he said, Yue Ying, there are some High Grade Spirit Stones in your storage ring, I suggest you cultivate here temporarily. When she heard Ning Chengs words, Yue Ying did not pay any more attention to her wet clothes, and stared at Ning Cheng with nervousness in her eyes, Big Brother Ning. You want to leave me here? Ning Cheng smiled and said, No, at present your cultivation is too low, I want to go grab a few things. Before we came here, I could sense that a treasure had emerged back when we heard the explosion. I dont know if I could gain something from there now, but I do want to take a look there. Once I seed in obtaining that thing, I wille back to cultivate here. When Yue Ying heard Ning Chengs words, her face immediately turned gloomy, although she personally did not want to stay in this kind of ce, but she knew that if she followed behind Ning Cheng, with her power, she would only be a burden to him, it would really be simr to dragging along a child with him. Ok, then its alright. Big Brother Ning, you must remember to take me away after you find something, I really am scared of staying alone in this ce. Although Yue Ying was a cultivator at Qi Gathering 6th Level, but it was still not enough to change the fact that she really was a young girl, who was barely even a teenager. Ning Cheng spoke in an affirmative way, You can rest easy, I will definitely be back soon. He hade to the Angry Axe Valley in search for Spiritual Grasses and other materials, moreover Ning Cheng was already in the Angry Axe Valley for many days and as such did not find many things, how could he possibly hide in this ce? Moreover, he would have to deal with several things a few monthster, and also, he had not thought of a good way to escape from this ce. Saying that, Ning Cheng took out an Array g and handed it to Yue Ying and said, This is the Array g that I had put down before and is actually an Echo Array g, you can use this to exit from here. If something happened to me, then at least you would not be detained here. Although Ning Cheng was confident that an ident would not happen to him, but since he was in the Angry Axe Valley, for an ident to really happen or not, who can dare guarantee it? Big Brother Ning, can you not go out yet? After Yue Ying heard Ning Chengs words, she immediately became somewhat worried for him, but she knew that whatever she would speak, would be equivalent to nonsense at this moment, she knew that it was simply impossible for Ning Cheng to not go out. ...... Ning Cheng quickly left from the bottom of the river and swimming in a straight line, quickly returned to the surface once more. It was obviously impossible for him to listen to Yue Yings words and stay there, not to mention that Ji Luo Fei was also waiting for him toe back, moreover, there was even that old man surnamed Kang over him, pressing a knife on his head, as such he simply could not dare to be rxed at all times. If it was Ruo Lan or Luo Fei who had asked him to say behind, then he would have definitely listened to them. However, Luo Fei and Ruo Lan would definitely not ask him to stay back, since they both clearly understood his way of thinking. Thinking of this till here, Ning Cheng suddenly became surprised in his heart, as he realized that he had not thought of Tian Mu Wan in a long time. Once he had established a close rtionship with Luo Fei, he hadnt even thought of Tian Mu Wan even for a single bit. Had he already gotten over her? Ning Cheng shook his head, as he picked up his speed. Without dragging along Yue Ying, Ning Chengs speed was now several times much faster than before. And in just two hours, Ning Cheng arrived at the ce where he had sensed the explosion from. At this moment there were thousands of people here, moreover there were still peopleing in continuously. So for Ning Cheng to arrive here was not unexpected to them, moreover, nobody paid any kind of attention to him, as all the people were literally digging holes everywhere. Thats right, all of them were digging holes. In all the four directions, thend had turned into some kind of prohibited zone with holes all over the ce, the sounds of explosions were still ringing all round non-stop, as a few of the cultivators were using Talismans to create those explosions. There was a rich Spiritual Qiing out from the number of already excavated holes. Ning Cheng, at once, swept out with his Spiritual Sense, and immediately understood what was going on. This ce unexpectedly turned out to be a huge Spirit Stone Mine, moreover it was not a low level one. As Ning Cheng saw that there were many cultivators excavating a lot of Medium Grade Spirit Stones, moreover there were even a lot of High Grade Spirit Stones that they were directly putting into their Storage Bags. Moreover, if someone found a tunnel with High Grade Spirit Stones, many of the cultivators would immediately form a group and surround that person, and almost every hour, there would be a few cultivators who would manage to escape but with serious injuries, moreover there were still many Cultivators who would end up dead in those scuffles rting to the Spirit Stones. In this ce, in this time, almost all the people turned insane, and were going all out topete for the Spirit Stones in the mine. Ning Cheng made a sweep again, and did not discover anyone who hade with him from the Hua Continent, evidently he would have to rely on himself and his ability to farm. Best Quality Spirit Stone...... A crazy voice sounded out, as Ning Cheng also locked onto him. In the hand of an Early Stage Essence Building Cultivator was a Spirit Stone giving out a gentle pure milky white lustre, just as his Spiritual Sense touched the Spiritual Qi contained within it, he immediately felt an extremelyfortable sensation. Is this the Best Quality Spirit Stone? If he could cultivate with the Best Quality Spirit Stone, then .... Ning Cheng did not dare to imagine, he did not need to imagine, the fear inducing scene that, at present, erupted in front of him made himpletely speechless. That Essence Building Cultivator did not think that he would be able to dig out a Best Quality Spirit Stone, he had not yet put the Spirit Stone into his Storage Bag, when countless Cultivators swarmed towards him. All of the still sane people finally lost control of themselves, and wentpletely all out to fight for that Best Quality Spirit Stone. Ning Cheng, at once, subconsciously withdrew several hundred meters back, this kind of fight was really fear inducing, and if he had to face such a thing, then he knew that trying to run away would be almost impossible for him. There was bloody mist hanging all around the ce as countless streaks of magical weapon lights wreaked havoc, it was simply too crazy to the extreme. As for that Essence Building Cultivator who had found that Best Quality Spirit Stone, he was already submerged in the middle of the fights with countless people. Ning Cheng simply walked off to one side, he wanted to try and see whether or not he could also feel a Spirit Stone Vein. However, although Ning Cheng changed ces several times, but he could not sense any deposits of Spirit Stones, evidently his Mysterious Yellow Origin was only sensitive to Origin Qi, as for Spirit Stones or Spiritual Grasses and the like, it did not show any special reaction. At this time, the fight for the Best Quality Spirit Stone finally came to an end, but as for who managed to rob the Best Quality Spirit Stone, no one could determine. Once again, many cultivators drifted out to search for more deposits on their own. Ning Cheng was in a faraway ce, looking for a good location. The reason why he chose this ce was because there were a dense cluster of nts growing here, moreover the nts growing here seemed to be much better than the others. The idea of Ning Cheng was very simple, if a ce had a Spirit Stone Vein, then the nts or Spiritual Grasses growing in that area would definitely be better than in other areas. Even if he was wrong, it would not lead to a huge impact to him, this piece ofnd was definitely a mine, even if he found a spot casually, there was a good chance that he would be able to dig out a Spirit Stone. It was only rted to the quantity of Spirit Stones, sometimes there would be a high concentration, sometimes there would be low. Moreover, there were too many people digging holes within this ce, so Ning Chenging here to mine was nothing strange, the only thing that was strange was that he was digging all by himself. So when the other people who were digging saw this, they all secretly ridiculed him as an idiot. Just who in their right mind would try and dig in this area by themselves? After a few hours, Ning Cheng could already feel that the Spiritual Qi in the hole that he had dug was getting more and more concentrated, as such he quickened his speed. Sure enough, after the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng finally dug out a few Spirit Stones, although they were only Low Grade Spirit Stones, but this, to Ning Cheng was already good. Thinking back to the time when he had arrived at the Cang Qin Province, Ji Luo Fei had gone all out to obtain a Qi Gathering Stone, but now he can unexpectedly dig out a Spirit Stone, how can he not be satisfied with it. Ning Cheng believed that as long as he continued to keep digging, then perhaps he would be able to obtain Medium Grade Spirit Stones. Although Ning Chengs idea was good, but in this ce, this kind of idea was simply not enough. Here, the people who were mining were doing so in groups of threes and fours, even then, they would fight to kill against each other, much less Ning Cheng who was just a single person mining by himself. If Ning Cheng did not dig out anything valuable, the other people would also naturally not cause trouble for him, but now that Ning Cheng dug out a few Spirit Stones, immediately a few people came over. This time a total of 6 people came over, and all of them were Late Stage True Condensation Realm Cultivators, moreover the worst among them had a cultivation of True Condensation 7th Level. In this ce, the Essence Building Cultivators had already found their own holes, and as such, those Essence Building Cultivators would note and grab Ning Chengs territory. The Spirit Stones that you dug up, bring them out, and leave, well be taking over this ce. The one who had called out was a cultivator of True Condensation 9th Level, when he nced over at the tunnel dug up by Ning Cheng, his eyes shed with joy, but he spoke calmly as if nothing significant urred. With his experience, for Ning Cheng to mine such a tunnel was absolutely a good thing for them. Chapter 0132 – One Against Six Chapter 0132: One Against Six Are you sure? Ning Cheng stopped his digging motion, as he turned to stare at those people who spoke just now. After all, he had already seen this kind of situation, so he already understood their intentions. If one did not want to fight and wanted to dig in a calm and steady manner, this kind of thing was simply impossible here. Get lost. A True Condensation 8th Level finally lost his patience and spoke up. Ning Cheng did not bother to speak anymore nonsense, at once, grasping the Great Axe in his hands once again, he immediately swept out with it horizontally. Together with the horrifying and matchless Axe Intent, it simply wreaked havoc in the tunnel that he was digging in. The size of the tunnel was limited, so once Ning Cheng chopped out with his axe, with its strong Killing Intent, almost the entire tunnel waspletely filled with its Killing Force. The six Late Stage True Condensation Cultivators had never thought that Ning Cheng, who was just a trifling True Condensation 4th Level Cultivator in their eyes, would dare to make a move against them. If only he was an ordinary True Condensation 4th Level Cultivator, then Ning Cheng would have definitely not taken the initiative to attack, rather they would have already resorted to their own Magic Weapons and would have already smashed Ning Cheng to a pulp. However, Ning Cheng was not an ordinary True Condensation 4th Level Cultivator, once his [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace] came out, it contained his Great Axes violently strong Killing Intent, as such the first reaction for these six Late Stage True Condensation Cultivators was to quickly escape that single cutting edge of the Axe, and then do something else. Boom.... When this Axe Shadow, that was filled with the extremely violent Axe Type Killing Intent, collided with the hard walls of the mine, it immediately brought up two blood mists as two of the True Condensation 7th Level Cultivators were not able to avoid it in time. They were bound by the Killing Intent from Ning Chengs Axe after which they were simultaneously blown into two halves. The falling rubble was also instantly crushed by the Killing Intent of the Axe Shadow as it smashed into them. Since Ning Cheng still had some apprehensions of the tunnel copsing, as a result Ning Cheng did not dare erupt with his full strength. As for the remaining four True Condensation Cultivators, because the previous two of them took the brunt of the attack, they were able to be one step ahead of them as they escaped from the mine tunnel. Ning Cheng also did not give up, as he also simrly escaped from the mine tunnel. As he pursued the few True Condensation Cultivators that had escaped previously, he once again sent out an Axe Chop. The Axe Intent contained in that attack was not even a single bit weaker than when he had unleashed that attack in the mine tunnel. On the contrary, this time Ning Cheng fully disyed the might of his [Angry Axe, First Trace]. Even the scope of the Killing Force increased as it became even more fierce. One of the True Condensation 8th Level Cultivator wasgging behind, and only had enough time to resort to a conical shaped Talisman to at least block a part of Ning Chengs Axe Shadow, however the Axe Shadow was too powerful as it mmed into his chest after it tore through it like tofu, he immediately sprayed out blood from his mouth, as he flew away tumbling, before he hit a huge stone, and no longer breathed. There were now only three more panic stricken people left. They knew that they no longer would be able to escape, and immediately brought out their Talismans in session as they prepared to confront Ning Cheng. It was only until that time that the surrounding people finally came to understand what had transpired. Someone had dug out a few Spirit Stones afterwards some other people came to rob him. This kind of thing was simply toomon to them in this ce. Ning Cheng was already a person who dared to dig the mine tunnels by himself, this a lot of people already knew about. Moreover, as these people had seen Ning Cheng dig a mine tunnel by himself, they had all ridiculed Ning Cheng as an idiot in their hearts at that time. So now when six Late Stage True Condensation Cultivators had arrived to grab the tunnel that Ning Cheng had just mined. But afterwards Ning Cheng had killed three people, moreover, even expelled the rest of them from the mine tunnel, this event immediately captured the attention of all the people present there. Where did this True Condensation Cultivator came from? He was only a trivial True Condensation 4th Level Cultivator, how could he be this fierce and strong? This friend, just now it was our fault a moment ago, this mine tunnel, we do not want to snatch it from you anymore. Can you please stop now? The one to talk this time was also the same True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator who had spoken to him before in the mine tunnel, after he saw how strong Ning Cheng was, he simply gave up on the idea of robbing Ning Chengs mine tunnel. Moreover, their group of 6 people was only a temporary set up for them, why would anyone care for the life or death of their fellowpanions? If they really got into a fight, they knew that they wouldck the spirit of cooperation. So at this moment, each of them were attending to only themselves. Come when you want toe, and leave when you want to leave. How can such a good thing exist? Ning Cheng simply was toozy to even reply a few words. He once again raised the Great Axe with his hands and once again covered the sky with his Golden Great Axe Shadow, still that one Axe Shadow was together with his [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace]. Ning Chengs disy of [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace] was getting more and more fluent with each time he used it, he felt that if he unceasingly continued to disy the [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace], with his continuousprehension, he would be able to make a new breakthrough. The True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator saw that Ning Cheng did not even want to reconcile with them even for a bit, did not speak anymore words, and immediately began fighting. Even hisplexion changed, and a white wheel appeared in his hands as he smashed out with it, while simultaneously shouting to the other two, Everyone we must fight together. The other two people saw that Ning Cheng was not going to agree with them and let them off, basically did not need that True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator to remind them, and simultaneously brought out their Magic Weapons. For the four True Condensation Cultivators to fight in such a way, the surrounding lights from their Magic Weapons scattered in all four directions. As such many of the cultivators could not continue digging, they immediately got out, while they simultaneously watched the four of them battle. Moreover, even the few Essence Building Realm Cultivators present there were also paying attention to the intense fight going on in that ce. The entire sky above them was covered by the Killing Intent from the Golden Great Axe Shadow as it bombed together with the lights from the various Magic Weapons. The rapid bursts of their True Essences were creating thunder like rumbles all around the ce. Boom......Ka Ka...... Although the three Late Stage True Condensation Cultivators were able to block Ning Chengs Axe, but the formidable Killing Intent of the Axe immediately made the three of them to fall back once again. This persons True Essence is quite vigorous, is his cultivation level really at True Condensation 4th Level? A purple robe wearing woman, with her face covered by a veil, who was standing at a distant ce observing the fight, spoke up as she simultaneously looked at the Golden Great Axe Shadow that was staggering to the extreme, with an astonished look in her eyes. Standing beside her was a middle aged man, who already had the cultivation of Late Stage Essence Building Realm. When he heard the words of the woman in the purple robe beside him, he simply shook his head and spoke, Thats not it, his True Essence is not necessarily more powerful whenpared to the three people he is fighting against. But his Axe Intent is too strong, that Axe Shadow that he exploded out with, was also filled with an Axe Intent, making the other three people unable to contend against, which was why they were blown back. For this persons Axe Intent to be so formidable, I suspect that he hasprehended his Axe Intent in the genuine Axe Valley. Ning Cheng did not stop the attack because his Axe was blocked by them, moreover the Killing Intent released from Golden Great Axe Shadow had still not yet dissipatedpletely, he once again lifted the Great Axe in his hands and fired off another Golden Great Axe Trace. Ka.... This time, it was the True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator who had to bear the brunt, and was sted away along with the Golden Great Axe Shadow. As for his white wheel, under the impact of the Axe Trace, immediately let out a deafening buzzing sound. At this moment, he was simply unable to take back his Magic Weapon. This True Condensation 9th Level Cultivators mind was greatly shaken, he was certain that if the three of them coborated together, then they would not be in such a sorry state, moreover that True Condensation 4th Level Cultivator in front of them would not necessarily be their match if they did. But this person was simply too ferocious, so he simply turned around and fled. Ning Cheng finally put his Great Axe down, his True Essence was already somewhat insufficient to continue fighting, if the three people coborated once more, then even if he could only match them step by step, he would only be able to block them. But now that the True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator had turned tail and ran, this was really him courting death. Ning Cheng did not care about the two remaining people, and immediately rushed past them, and sted out a punch in the air. The Axe Fist travelled in a straight line, as it brought forth a murderous Qi as it hit the back of that True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator. As the punch exploded on the back of the True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator, he was directly sent flying by Ning Chengs fist. When the fist collided, he flew several meters away, and immediately fell to the ground. His body twitched a few times, before it went silent, no longer breathing. Ning Cheng did not, at present, deal with the body of this True Condensation Cultivator. But once again grabbed the Golden Great Axe in his hands and turned towards the other two True Condensation 8th Level Cultivators. These two True Condensation Cultivators were already scared witless, and as such did not dare to fight against Ning Cheng, they immediately took out their Storage Bags and directly threw them at Ning Chengs feet, as they spoke in a quivering voice, Senior, please ept our Storage Bags, we only ask for forgiveness...... Ning Cheng grabbed the two storage bags, and spoke with an extremely cold tone, Get lost. Yes, yes...... These two Cultivators of the True Condensation 8th Level did not dare to even utter half a word of idle talk, as they quickly turned around and ran away, and in just a few momentspletely disappeared without a trace. Ning Cheng had not been in the Yi Xing Maind for a long time, but he had heard, once a Cultivator throws down their Storage Bag or their Storage Ring, then as long as they do not have a bitter hatred towards each other, then they would at least forgive the opposite party for that one time. Moreover, he really was not so bloodthirsty, he knew that if he did not talk in an imposing manner at that moment, then there would be more and more people eyeing his mine tunnels. If there were no good things in the tunnel, then there would not be much of a problem, but once he dug up a good thing, then at that moment, it would not be good for him. As the fight had finallye to an end, Ning Cheng picked up the few Storage Bags. As he turned to the few cultivators that he killed and turned them into ash, and then leisurely walked towards his mine tunnel. Ning Cheng was a person who had singlehandedly fought against six Late Stage True Condensation Cultivators, moreover he had continuously killed four of them, and had even grabbed all six of their Storage Bags, as such, this kind of strength was already seen by the people clearly. Because of this, no one had any more ideas towards Ning Chengs mine tunnel. Of course, one of the other reason was also because the mine tunnel that Ning Cheng dug up only contained Low Grade Spirit Stones. This Elder Brother, I am from Fu Continents Yue Yu Sects Yang Shu Hui. If this Elder Brother does not mind, then I am willing to help you with your mine, as long as I can obtain only 10% of what we dig out, it would be more than enough for me. An extremely pure and beautiful woman was standing at the entrance to Ning Chengs mine tunnel, and spoke to Ning Cheng in an extremely soft voice. Her tone was very pleasant to the ears, it even had some maic sincerity, which would make the person hearing this voice to have a favourable impression towards her, not to mention that she herself was an extremely beautiful woman. Fu Continent? Isnt that the continent that is neighbour to an Advanced ss Continent? Ning Cheng had also heard about the Fu Continent, of the three big Intermediate ss Continents, the Jia Continent, the Zhong Continent and the Fu Continent, the Fu Continent was the closest to the Advance Level Continent, the Nan Continent. Ning Cheng wanted to bring Luo Fei and go to the Advance Level Continent in the future, therefore when he heard the words Fu Continent, he immediately spoke up. Thats right, our Yue Yu Sects outstanding disciples are frequently selected to go to the Nan Continent, Elder Brother which continent are you from? This attractive woman called Yang Shu Hui, when she heard Ning Chengs response, happily spoke up. Ie from the Ping Continent. To be honest, the eyes of Yang Shu Hui were really beautiful, even her speech was also iparably gentle, as such Ning Cheng already had a favourable impression of her. However, he has already dug up the mine by himself, so when an outsider wanted to form a partnership, then he would have to share his mine with them, which for him, was absolutely impossible at the moment. Moreover, this Yue Yu Sects name was somewhat simr to the Hua Yu Academys name, but Ning Cheng knew that the Hua Yu Academy couldnt even bepared to the Yue Yu Sect. Ping Continent? Yang Shu Hui apparently did not react, but then, only after a good long while, did she speak in a surprised tone, You said that you are from one of the three Lower ss Continents, the Ping Continent? For you to be from the Ping Continent...... Apparently she felt that the words she spoke were not polite, as such Yang Shu Hui switched her tone and spoke in an embarrassing way, Because the resources in the Ping Continent are scarce, moreover I also heard that the Cultivation Methods there are also notplete, therefore I found it somewhat strange, I hope that you dont mind it. But then her mood became even more excited as she spoke, This Elder Brother, with the kind of skill that you possess, you can definitely join our Yue Yu Sect. In my Yue Yu Sect, all the disciples cultivate in a man and woman pair, I feel that you really are very great, if you are willing to join our Yue Yu Sect.... This Yang Shu Hui immediately felt even more embarrassed, and lowered her head in a sheepish manner as she spoke. It was at this point that Ning Cheng suddenly realized, that she was actually a Dual Cultivation Sect Disciple. This Yang Shu Hui clearly looked highly attractive, but still, just as she saw him for the first time, she immediately asked him out to be her partner, was this her true personality? Or was the entire Academy, that was the Yue Yu Sect, so debauched? So you actually are from a Dual Cultivation Sect? Ning Cheng subconsciously asked. Yang Shu Huis embarrassment immediately vanished, as she somewhat anxiously replied, Yes, Yes, do you want to join the Yue Yu Sect? Sorry, I have no interest in Dual Cultivating with others. Saying that, Ning Cheng simply was toozy to reply to Yang Shu Hui, and quickly entered his own mine tunnel. As Yang Shu Hui looked at Ning Cheng enter the mine tunnel, she did not understand why Ning Cheng did this kind of thing. It was very normal in the Yue Yu Sect to Dual Cultivate with the partner that they liked. Moreover, the Yue Yu Sect respected their genuine feelings and as such was not artificial about it, as such, people there could pursue whoever they liked, so why was the opposite partys reaction so strange? Chapter 0133 – Rushing out of the killing enclosure Chapter 0133: Rushing out of the killing enclosure Hey, that guy unexpectedly refused Yang Shu Hui. Several of the cultivators present there had some awareness about Yang Shu Hui and werepletely surprised. In the Fu Continents Yue Yu Sect, Yang Shu Hui was an extremely famous existence. There were only an extremely few cultivators that would enter her eyes. This person had even taken a liking to this True Condensation 4th Level Cultivator, but was unexpectedly rejected. His vision really is pretty high. At a distant ce was a woman with a veil on her face, who was looking at Ning Cheng as she unconsciously spoke up. The middle aged man next to her showed a faint smile, He definitely has the qualifications, I estimate that he is not yet 30 years old yet, moreover with his skill, his Spiritual Root also should be quite good. I did not expect that such a cultivator would unexpectedlye from such a poor and barren ce like the Ping Continent. The woman wearing the veil on her face chuckled, Is it possible that uncle wants to rmend this person to the Elder, and let him join our Wu Nian Academy? The middle aged manughed again, This young man certainly is quite good, moreover he evenprehended such a formidable Axe Intent. But if this person could join the Wu Nian Academy, then the Wu Nian Academy would not be worthy to have such a big reputation. Ru Xue, you must remember, although your intelligence is better than all the people here, however you have to be certainly careful about it. At least until you grow up, do not underestimate anyone. I understand. The woman wearing the veil nodded, then quickly turned away and departed, that middle aged man also followed behind her quickly. Both of them simply turned a blind eye to the endless Spirit Stone Mine in front of them, moreover they did not even dig a single hole. ...... After Ning Cheng entered him mine tunnel once more, he first took out and ced a few Array gs, arranging them in a Shielding Array Formation. He set it up to not only shield his work from the other peoples Spiritual Sense, but also to keep the Spiritual Qi from overflowing outside. There were still some cultivators paying attention to Ning Cheng, but after knowing that Ning Cheng was also an Array Formation Master, they hurriedly shifted the focus of their Spiritual Sense. None of them thought that Ning Cheng would actually just go ahead and set up an Array Formation, it showed that he was deliberately waiting for a person to look for him. Since he had already established his strength, he simply could do whatever he liked. Otherwise, he would have to rearrange his Array Formation again and again. Now that his power standing had already been established, nobody dared toe into his mine tunnel any further. After preparing the Array Formation, Ning Cheng once again picked up his mining speed, and the pieces of Low Grade Spirit Stones that he dug out were all directly put into his Storage Bag. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng found that the Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Stones was getting richer and richerpared the Low Grade Spirit Stones. Ning Cheng immediately became happy in his heart, he knew that these were definitely Medium Grade Spirit Stones. He had only been digging in this mine only for a short time, and already he could find Medium Grade Spirit Stones. So he concluded that there definitely would have Spirit Stones of a higher grade behind it. Facts showed that Ning Cheng had not thought about it mistakenly, after he dug for around 2 hours, he was able to dig up High Grade Spirit Stones. Moreover, in the Spirit Stone Mine that he was located in, the High Grade Spirit Stones actually formed a Spirit Stone Vein. Moreover, this Spirit Stone Vein was actually surrounded by Low Grade Spirit Stones and Medium Grade Spirit Stones, but at this time Ning Cheng was not much interested in these Low Grade Spirit Stones and Medium Grade Spirit Stones, as he put all his energy into extracting the High Grade Spirit Stones from the Spirit Stone Vein. Ning Cheng dug out the Spirit Stones for almost a full day and night, he was quite lucky that he was able to grab a few storage bags before, otherwise he would not have space to put all the Spirit Stones that he was continuously mining out. Ning Cheng at this moment did not know for how much time he had been digging when he gently wiped away the dirt to reveal a pure milky light in front of him. Ning Chengs heart immediately skipped a beat. He knew that he had also finally dug up a Best Quality Spirit Stone. Moreover, there were more than one here. He immediately suppressed his excitement, as Ning Cheng rapidly put away the seven Best Quality Spirit Stones that had carefully dug up, immediately putting them into his Storage Bag. After digging up and storing the seven Best Quality Spirit Stones, Ning Cheng once again returned to dig, but found that there were no more Spirit Stones present. He then immediately knew that this Spirit Stone Vein waspletely dug up by him. As for the surrounding Low Grade Spirit Stones, he did not have much interest in them anymore. Ning Cheng at once used the Dust Removal Technique on himself, and rapidly came out of the tunnel, he immediately decided to leave this ce. The Spirit Stones that he obtained were already enough, he must use the rest of the time to cultivate. Seeing that Ning Cheng finally came out, all the surrounding cultivators swarmed towards the Spirit Stone Mine that Ning Cheng had dug up. There are a lot of Low Grade Spirit Stones, as well as Medium Grade Spirit Stones.... Now that Ning Cheng removed the shielding that he had put as a means to restrict them, the people could now clearly see the situation inside. He does not even want the Medium Grade Spirit Stones, everyone thought as they stared at Ning Cheng, just how many Spirit Stones did he poach, that he wouldnt even spare a nce at these Medium Grade Spirit Stones? He has already poached the Best Quality Spirit Stones...... An old Cultivator with an experienced eye already came to the conclusion that Ning Cheng had already taken away the Best Quality Spirit Stones. Ning Cheng immediately knew that this was not something good, as he immediately agitated the True Essence in his body to its utmost as he immediately moved to leave. Previously, the situation that arose when an Essence Building Cultivator had dug out a Best Quality Spirit Stone, was something that was already seen clearly by the others, and he also knew that it was more than enough to take his life. Moreover, since his cultivation was merely at True Condensation 4th Level, if he was to end up in the same situation, how could he even try to endure? Although he was fast, the others were even faster, as dozens of True Condensation Cultivators encircled Ning Cheng within, moreover there was even an Essence Building Cultivator present among them. But these were not the thing that Ning Cheng was worried about the most. What he worried about the most was that there were a few Essence Building Cultivators staring in his direction, as if they would join in at any time. Ning Cheng knew that this was not the time to speak any words of idle talk, he immediately without any hesitation pulled out his Great Axe, and without restraining his True Essence even for half a bit, immediately rumbled out with a formidable Axe Type Killing Intent. The surrounding True Condensation Cultivators knew that Ning Chengs Great Axe was really formidable, and immediately retreated, what they wanted most was to let Ning Cheng deplete his True Essence and theny their hands on Ning Cheng. But that Essence Building Cultivator did not fear him, he lifted his hands as he grabbed the handle of a steel fan. As he wielded the steel fan, an overwhelming Killing Force rolled up and hepletely him pushed back. He had seen Ning Cheng make that move previously, and as such paid attention to his Great Axe, he knew that as long as he could get rid of the Great Axes Killing Intent, he can very easily kill Ning Cheng. The fierce True Essence and the formidable imposing manner of Ning Chengs Axe Shadows Killing Intent had not yet collided with his opponent, when the sky surrounding all of them immediately exploded with several traces of distinct magic lights. The Great Axes Killing Intent waspletely wild and berserk, but this time he did not use it like before with his Golden Great Axe Shadow, but instead used it to form a gigantic whirlpool below the Axe Shadow, and in just a twinkling of an eye it transformed into a Tornado of Axe Type Killing Intent. The Killing Force scattered in the surrounding area waspletely gathered up by the Great Axe, which made people who took a look at this tornado to feel as if they would be smashed into nothingness if they were toe in contact with this kind tornado formed of the Axe Killing Intent. This Essence Building Cultivator had misjudged Ning Chengs Tornado, he had thought that Ning Cheng would still use his [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace], he actually did not think that Ning Cheng would suddenly bring out a second type of attack Angry Axe [Tornado]. Although his imposing manner was formidable, but he knew that he wouldnt be able to go against the formidable Killing Force from the Tornado. Bang.... That Tornado of Killing Intent formed by the Golden Great Axe finally connected solidly with the Essence Building Cultivators Steel Fans Imposing Manner, the ferocity of the collision immediately sted away all the nearby True Condensation Cultivators. This Essence Building Cultivator was the one to bear the full brunt of it. As he had to take the explosion of the Tornado head on, even if he had the cultivation of Middle Stage Essence Building Realm, he was also directly thrown back by the formidable tornado formed by the Axe Type Killing Intent. As he coughed out several mouthfuls of blood, even his insides spilled out. Even if that was the case, this Essence Building Cultivator still recalled his Steel Fan Magical Weapon, although his Steel Fan was also sted back by the Killing Force of Ning Chengs Tornado, but it was once again recalled back by the Essence Cultivator. After this Steel Fan once again fell into the hands of the Essence Building Cultivator, he immediately flicked it once, immediately bringing out three white des of light. These three des of lights, in just a moment, crossed the distance between him and Ning Cheng, and immediately exploded out as they reached Ning Cheng. Although Ning Chengs Tornado had far exceeded the thinking capacity of the Essence Building Cultivator, but his True Essence and Spiritual Sense, whenpared to an Essence Building Cultivator, was simply far toocking. Even if he sessfully executed his trick, but after being countered against by the Imposing Manner of his opponents True Essence, moreover as it even exploded on his chest. It simrly sent him tumbling back upside down. At this time the other party had once again sent out three more of those white des of light from his steel fan. At this time Ning Chengs body was in the air, and as such could only escape just one of those des of lights. If he had enough strength, then he definitely could have split him up with his [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace], let alone blocking the two remaining des of lights. Unfortunately, Ning Cheng simply did not have any more power, and all he could do at the moment was to crazily agitate the True Essence in his body, as he unwillingly used his Golden Great Axe to protect some of the vital areas of his body. Cha Cha...... The two white des of light immediately exploded oning in contact with the Golden Great Axe, as it sent out a terrible, unpleasant to hear, noise as the huge shockwave passed through the Golden Great Axe and once more stuck on Ning Chengs chest. Ka Ka Sounds of several bones breaking could be heard, as Ning Cheng crazily spurted out several mouthfuls of blood, while simultaneously being injured seriously. This was a serious wound from the Essence Building Cultivator, although he once again resorted to two more of those white des of light. But before those white des of light reached and exploded on Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng at once retreated at full speed. He knew that if those two des of white light from the Essence Building Cultivator reached him, moreover if he didnt back up, then Ning Cheng guessed that he definitely would have been split into two pieces. At present Ning Cheng was severely wounded, and as such the several True Condensation Cultivators observing the scene immediately rushed towards him, they wanted to snatch Ning Chengs Storage Bag and run away. But even though Ning Cheng was seriously injured, and was also facing a Middle Stage Essence Building Cultivator and several True Condensation Realm Cultivators, they were simply not enough to stop or even block him. While still in the air, Ning Cheng once again stirred his True Essence, and shot out another [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace]. But because his breastbone was broken, Ning Cheng immediately burst out in cold sweat, as his face immediately became iparably pale. Even in this kind of situation, his [Angry Axe, The 1st Trace] rumbled out with an overwhelmingly superior force. Just like how the autumn gale sweeps away the fallen leaves, it shredded apart four Early Stage and a Middle Stage True Condensation Cultivators, who were in front of him in half. After Ning Cheng killed those five Cultivators, he did not dare to dy for even a single moment, he knew what consequences would fall on him once he did, as a result he crazily burnt the remaining True Essence in his body to escape this killing encirclement and rushed out. Before facing that deadly attack from the Essence Building Cultivator, Ning Cheng had notpletely used up all his True Essence reserves, and was waiting for this kind of right moment to escape. Although Ning Cheng was surrounded on all sides, he had only exchanged a single move with that Middle Stage Essence Building Cultivator, moreover Ning Cheng even killed 5 True Condensation Cultivators while running away, and this entire thing was only done in a few breathes of time. Several of the Early Stage Essence Building Cultivators on the side-lines moving towards him immediately began hesitating, they could see that Ning Cheng had the ability to severely injure a Middle Stage Essence Building Cultivator, and as such were hesitant to make a move on him. While they hesitated just for a little bit, Ning Cheng had already disappeared from their view. However more than ten True Condensation Cultivators, near the fight scene, actually knew that Ning Cheng had now fully spent his entire energy, and as such once Ning Cheng ran away, they immediately pursued. To a True Condensation Cultivator, a single Best Quality Spirit Stone was iparably more precious than a True Condensation Pill. The True Condensation Pill was only a medicinal pill, so how could a True Condensation Cultivatorpare it with the Best Quality Spirit Stones? After hesitating for a bit, one of the Essence Building Cultivator finally made the decision to pursue in the same direction in which Ning Cheng fled. But most of the Essence Building Cultivators did not opt to pursue Ning Cheng, whether Ning Cheng really obtained the Best Quality Spirit Stone or not, they still did not know. Instead of wasting time in catching Ning Cheng, they might as well dig out some more High Grade Spirit Stones. Chapter 0134 – Yue Ying’s Help Chapter 0134: Yue Yings Help Ning Cheng knew that his own injuries were too serious, he did not dare to turn around and go back directly, but rather changed directions and immediately dashed out with all the strength that he could muster. Fortunately, his True Essence and Spiritual Sense was much more formidable that an ordinary True Condensation Realm Cultivator. As such now that he was desperately burning up his True Essence, his speed was thus extremely fast. And in just a short time, he rushed out of the scope of the Spiritual Sense of the True Condensation Realm Cultivators. But Ning Cheng knew that if he continued on like this, then sooner orter he would be caught by an Essence Building Realm Cultivator. After escaping to a certain distance, Ning Cheng directly hid himself in a gully, while simultaneously throwing out several Array gs. And in just a short time, Ning Cheng arranged a Level 2 Concealment Array Formation, he knew that at this time, other than setting up an Array Formation, he did not have any other way. If it were only True Condensation Realm Cultivators pursuing him, then he could easily escape, but in case he was being pursued by an Essence Building Realm Cultivator, then he wouldnt be so lucky. Fortunately, only Essence Building Cultivators and below could enter this Valley, otherwise even if he arranged a Concealment Array Formation, it would not be of much use. Inside the Concealment Array Formation, Ning Cheng immediately restrained his True Essence, as he carefully swallowed a single stub of Mysterious Frost Zoysia. The wounds that he had received before really were too serious, not only this, after being severely wounded, he had even forcefully burned his True Essence, and almostpletely used up his True Essence to run away, it was simply one misfortune after another to him. If not for his Meridians being remoulded by the Mysterious Yellow Origin, Ning Cheng knew that his Meridians, at the moment, would have beenpletely destroyed. Although he was formidable at True Condensation 4th Level, and although he may be able to contend against an Early Stage Essence Building Cultivator, but how could he fight against an Essence Building Cultivator in the Middle Stages? Ning Cheng forcibly suppressed the tearing pain in his entire body, as he burst into self-ridicule in his mind. He had thought that his [Angry Axe Tornado] would be enough to kill that Essence Building Cultivator. Although that Tornado would be enough to kill an Essence Building Cultivator, but it would only work on an Early Stage Essence Building Cultivator and that too when he used it for a sneak attack, otherwise it was absolutely not enough to kill an Essence Building Cultivator. Previously although that Middle Stage Essence Building Cultivator was seriously injured by him, but it was only because he was taken by surprise by his attack, otherwise it definitely wouldnt be easy to even injure him. Although the effect of the Mysterious Frost Zoysia was very good. But it was not all-powerful, after all it was not the Profound Replenishment Pill, moreover the condition of his injuries was also very severe. Now that he had taken the Mysterious Frost Zoysia, the medicinal property of the Spiritual Grass would only erupt after he used his True Essence, otherwise it would not be effective at all. At the moment Ning Cheng did not dare to extend out his Spiritual Sense, not to mention circting his True Essence to help in his healing. There were already so many people pursuing him, moreover he also did not manage to run away too far, so once there was a Spiritual Qi Fluctuation, he would certainly be discovered. After an entire three hours passed, Ning Cheng felt incredibly weak, he knew that if he did not seek treatment soon, then he would once again ruin his foundations. The Mysterious Yellow Origin helped him remould his Meridians once, who knows if it would help him in remoulding them a second time? He carefully stretched out his Spiritual Sense, confirming that there was nobody in the surroundings before he rapidly jumped out and began running away from the ce he was just hiding in. ...... Yue Ying was anxiously walking back and forth in the not so big hall, she was not only anxious, but was also afraid. At the moment, she was at the bottom of the river, without anyone else forpany, even the sounds from the outside were isted from this ce because of the Array Formation. This type of loneliness and solitude, it could not let herself feel at ease, let alone trying to cultivate by herself. At the beginning, when she had hidden herself in that cave then at least she was still able to hear various sounds. Although she was still afraid at that time, but at least she did not feel lonely. But at this time, she was aware that she was in a world devoid of any sound. It really had made her feel extremely lonely. When would Ning Chenge back? He had already been on the outside for nearly four days. Yue Ying, who was pacing back and forth in the hall for a long time, finally could not endure the silence and the loneliness anymore. She decided that she must go out and have a look. As Yue Ying came out through the half-moon shaped arch, she took out the Array g that Ning Cheng had given to her and threw it out. It was indeed as expected, as the broken portion that Ning Cheng had temporarily sealed previously once again opened. Yue Ying hovered in the ice cold river water, but rather than feeling cold she felt peaceful, at least she could finally hear the sounds from the surroundings, showing that at least she was not the only thing in the world, even though she was only hearing the sounds of fishes and the water under the river, it was still much better for her. After surfacing, Yue Ying just had enough time to take a single breath, when she immediately saw Ning Cheng, covered in blood, lying on the river bank. It was obvious that he was severely wounded. Yue Ying was really surprised in her heart, as she hurried and rushed out of the river, immediately embracing Ning Cheng. Yue Ying did not understand much, but when she embraced Ning Cheng, she knew that Ning Cheng was still breathing, however his internal breathing was different from what she knew, it appeared that he was in the process of healing himself. Yue Ying stabilized herself a bit, as she studied Ning Chengs appearance, and in just a short moment put Ning Cheng on her back. Just when she prepared to dive into the river, she immediately saw the blood stains on the river bank. Yue Ying hurriedly washed away those bloodstains with the river water, and once again put Ning Cheng on her back as she dove into the river. Ning Cheng was severely wounded, it was obvious that he was being chased by others, if the others saw the bloodstains and came here, then they would simply be finished. Fortunately, the things that Yue Ying worried about did not happen. As she carried Ning Cheng back to the Concealment Array Formation, she once again took back the Array g that she had thrown out previously. Yue Ying, who was very nervous till now, finally calmed down a bit. Yue Ying delicately put down Ning Cheng on that fine looking wooden bed, it looked like Ning Cheng had still not woken up, but she still felt a little embarrassed. Ning Chengs injury was really heavy, she did not know what to do, but she knew that she could not let Ning Cheng continue toy down with his body and clothes drenched in ice cold water. After thinking for a long while, Yue Ying decided that she had to take off Ning Chengs drenched clothes and decided to proceed with it. Looking at the shocking wound on Ning Chengs chest Yue Ying was secretly shocked in her heart. Ning Cheng was injured this heavily, and even then could return to this ce. Carefully wiping off all the blood stains on Ning Chengs body, Yue Ying finally took a look at Ning Chengs shorts, but in the end did not have the courage to help Ning Cheng take it off. Not to mention taking it off, she even had a frightful and apprehensive look on her face. If she was reced by An Yu, then she would have definitely helped Ning Cheng strippletely nude without any hesitation. But she and An Yi were different, she understood things a lot more than An Yi. She did not go and open Ning Chengs Storage Bag, rather she just used the thin silk nket on the wooden bed to cover Ning Chengs body. ...... When Ning Cheng was brought back to the bedroom by Yue Ying, his body had automatically started to heal its injuries. If it was someone else who crazily burnt up his True Essence while fleeing, then even if he did not harm his foundations, they simply would not be able to recover from their injuries in just one or two days. But Ning Chengs Meridians were remoulded by the Mysterious Yellow Bead, so although thebustion of True Essence was a serious matter, but it was still insufficient to hurt his foundations. Now that he felt some security, he subconsciously closed off his six senses. Ever since he started to cultivate, Ning Cheng rarely ever dreamt, but this time Ning Cheng dreamt a long dream. He had brought Luo Fei and returned to Jiangzhou, as he held a grand wedding in Jiangzhou. Even his younger sister Ruo Lan was at his wedding, but when he tried to talk to his younger sister, his younger sister paid no attention to him. Constantly saying that he was really very fickle, and easily changed his mind, saying that now that he found Ji Luo Fei, he simply forgotten about Tian Mu Wan. But at this time, he even saw Tian Mu Wan among the guests, and the person apanying Tian Mu Wan was that man who she had driven out with in his car at that time. Ning Cheng body was covered with a thinyer of sweat, as he immediately sat up. You finally woke up, it scared me to death. Yue Ying knew that the pulses in Ning Chengs Meridians were getting stronger and stronger, but she was still worried about him. After all, from the time she carried Ning Cheng here on her back, he had not woken up at all. Ning Cheng swept a nce at the several Storage Bags beside him, and knew that in his heart that it was Yue Ying who had saved him and brought him back. When he fell on the river bank, he still had some consciousness, but his body waspletely battered to the extreme, as such he absolutely did not have any means to return back to the bottom of the river. Yue Ying, thank you for saving me. Ning Cheng spoke in a happy tone, as he sat there, as long as he returned to this ce, then even if his injury was more serious, at least he would be able to recover from it quickly. When Yue Ying saw Ning Chengs chi luo upper body, her face immediately turned red and said, I was a little anxious when I stayed back here, so I went out to have a look, but I really did not expect that I would see you on the river bank. Ning Cheng nodded, taking out a piece of clothing, he casually wrapped himself in it, and spoke in a serious tone, I will not go out for a period of time. En, after the three months end, we will get teleported out of this ce together. Yue Ying said once she heard that Ning Cheng would not go out, while in her heart she was extremely happy. She was really afraid of living just by herself in this ce. Ning Cheng shook his head and said, When the three monthsplete, I dont think we would be teleported out. If I have not guessed wrong, this ce should have an Array Formation that I still cannot see, as such us being teleported out may not work on us. If the teleportation worked here, then the senior who lived here would have been long ago sent out, why would she create a mansion in this type of ce for only a short time? Why, dont you want to go out? Yue Ying surprisingly asked about that, when she heard Ning Cheng say that they would not be teleported out of here, she simply neglected that part. That old man surnamed Kang would definitely not let me off, before I gain the strength to protect myself, me going out would be the same as courting death. Ning Cheng spoke with a sinking voice. To Ning Cheng, if he could stay here and cultivate, then he would definitely not go out. That person with the surname Kang hasnt still notpletely dropped all the decorum, as soon as hepletely dropped decorum, Ji Luo Fei might face a disaster. Yue Ying hurriedly asked, Senior Kang is easy to talk to, moreover the other people are also good, to me he is even more amiable. If you offended him in some way, then let me talk with him, he will definitely show that he is nothing like how you pictured him to be. Ning Cheng gave a slight sneer, You said you would go talk to him, but have you ever once considered your own situation. You should be d that you were pushed inside this Valley, otherwise you absolutely would not have a good end, please do not think that what I said was something shocking. Ah.... Yue Ying had a look of shock on her face as she looked at Ning Cheng, she even forgot to inquire why Ning Cheng thought she should feel happy in entering here. After a moment of silence Ning Cheng asked, Yue Ying, how many changes did you see in the first round of the Tournament of the 5 Star Academies? A total of 50 changes, however I felt that there were still many more changes, but its just that I could not see any more. Yue Ying honestly replied. In that second round, what did youprehend? Ning Cheng asked again. Yue Ying frowned, this time she could really feel that there was something wrong with this matter, still she did not hide anything from Ning Cheng and said, I felt that these changes were a kind of a Cultivation Method, it was as if I saw an ancient almost mystical thing in the world, but I am not too sure what it really was. When Ning Cheng heard Yue Yings words, he was immediately stunned speechless, this Yue Ying could see 50 different changes, this itself was something that went even beyond his guess. But he did not think that Yue Yingsprehension of the leather like parchment waspletely different than his own, what he had seen was more than 600 kinds of changes, the different changes that he saw made him guess that it some kind of Cultivation Method or a Technique. But that Yue Ying actually saw through its origin and deduced that it was a Cultivation Method, was what Yue Yingprehended something even more thorough than what heprehended? Chapter 0135 – The Origin Cultivation Method Chapter 0135: The Origin Cultivation Method Ning Cheng quickly put this issue aside, and said to Yue Ying in a solemn manner, I think that that person with the surname Kang will definitely take you to the Jia Continent, but he will not allow you to join any 7 Star Academy, rather he would want to bring you back to his mansion. If I did not guess wrong, that first and second round was something that he had intentionally created, it seems he obtained that very mysterious leather parchment from somewhere, but he could not unlock the contents of that leather parchment.... Yue Ying was not stupid, although Ning Cheng did not finish the words that he was speaking, she could stillpletely understand the meaning that Ning Cheng was trying to convey, it was as if she could not believe it herself that she looked at Ning Cheng and asked, Are you saying that he wants me to help him unlock the secrets of that leather parchment? Ning Cheng once again sneered and said, If it was only this easy. Did you think that the contents of that rolled up parchment were something simple? Do you think that he would let a person who knows about the entire content of that parchment leave that easily? Big Brother Ning.... Yue Ying shivered with fright, what Ning Cheng said was simply too terrifying. It was only then that she thought back to the scene where that Senior Kang was looking at her with a scorching hot vision. Initially she had thought that it was because the opposite party had taken a liking to her excellent natural intelligence, but now that she thought about it carefully, it really wasnt anything like she had thought about. The opposite party had always asked how her memory andprehension ability was this powerful, whether or not did she have a fortuitous encounter? But he had never asked her how long she cultivated, or if she had any doubts about anything, or even anything about her Cultivation Methods? Ning Cheng did not continue to say anything else, the words that he spoke, whether Yue Ying believed it or not, it was nothing to do with him. Yue Yings face kept changing for a while, but then she bowed to Ning Cheng and spoke, Many thanks to Big Brother Ning to dispel these doubts, I was too naive. Ning Cheng nodded, after hesitating for a while, he said, Your Spiritual Root and natural talents are truly good, however at the beginning of the written exam there were still a few people with a simr kind of intelligence to you. For example, that Leng Yi Yang, he was even better than you. How did you easily get a higher score than the other people, in fact even I feel a bit strange about whether or not you had a fortuitous encounter? Yue Ying fell silent, Ning Cheng also asked about this matter, was this because Ning Cheng also had a simr mental disposition as that person surnamed Kang? Ning Cheng had moved about for many years in the city while hiding and not revealing himself, and even when he arrived in the Yi Xing Maind, he kept himself hidden within themunity for long periods of time, so he was not bothered much by Yue Yings silence. Although he wanted to know what Yue Ying was thinking, but he simply closed his eyes, and no longer bothered to inquire about this matter. He can himself remember more than 600 changes in the picture, how could he care about the few dozen changes in the picture that Yue Ying remembered? What he wanted to learn from those words originally, was if Yue Ying was able to see the picture even more clearly than him. Seeing Ning Cheng, who was no longer inquiring about this matter, Yue Ying finally opened her mouth to say, My Grandpa said that I was born prematurely, because my father and my mother were rushing through the Swamp of Time at that time. When they met the Heart of Time.... The Heart of Time? Ning Cheng repeated the name, it was the first time that he heard about it. Yue Ying just gave a slight hmm before continuing, Thats right, it was because my mother wanted to grasp the Heart of Time, but no one ever thought that just when she neared the Heart of Time, she would suffer from the erosion of time. But before my mother could evene near to the Heart of Time, it quickly vanished into the deepest parts of that Swamp of Time. My father hastily carried my mother out of the Swamp of Time, then took my elder brother and my Grandpa and immediately headed to the Ping Continent. Ning Cheng only knew that Yue Ying and Yue Yang Hua, that brother and sister pair, were not from the Ping Continent, so Yue Yings father to be able to bring Yue Ying and her brother to the Ping Continent. It was obvious that he was not a simple person. Where is this Swamp of Time? Ning Cheng suddenly had an enormous interest towards this Heart of Time. Yue Ying shook her head and said, I dont know. This was something that my Grandfather told me. After my father delivered us to the Ping Continent, he immediately took my mother to seek out Spiritual Grasses to cure her. My father said that he woulde back very quickly, but more than 10 years passed by, even when my Grandfather passed away, even then my father and mother never came back. Thest time when Senior Kang asked if I had any fortuitous encounter, I did not say anything, because my Grandfather said that I could not tell this to anyone. Big Brother Ning you rescued my life, I think that there is nothing to hide from you. The reason why my memory is a lot better than my elder brother, my Grandfather once said, that it was because of the Heart of Times influence, but my Grandfather actually also did not know anything about this Heart of Time...... Although Ning Cheng was very sceptical about the rtion of the Heart of Time and Yue Yings formidableprehension ability, but he also did not know what this Heart of Time was. After listening to Yue Yings words, What your Grandfather said was right, from here on out do not tell this matter to others. Yue Ying had some disagreements in her heart, cant tell this to other people, are you not other people? Did I not just tell you this because you asked about it? Ning Chengs injuries quickly healed up, this Yue Ying was after all a young girl, and Ning Cheng was more or less just a few years older than her, so after the two people exchanged a few more words, she had already thrown away the restraints that she had put on herself. Big Brother Ning, didnt you say that you wanted to give these pearl hair clips to your younger sister? As the two people became more familiar with each other, Yue Ying more or less did not regard Ning Cheng as an outsider, and even took out the pearl hair clips as she gave then to Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng took the pearl hair clips from Yue Yings hands, and looked at it for a long time, I have already given her such a pearl hair clip before, because I could not see my younger sister, therefore when I initially saw a simr pearl hair clip that I had given to my younger sister, I immediately wanted to buy it back Big Brother Ning, why did you only gave her a single one? Who did you give the other too? Is your Younger Sister Ruo Lan or Mu Wan? Yue Ying, who did not speak with him for a long time, now that she came to know a bit about Ning Cheng, she simply shot out endless questions. Ning Cheng frowned, he guessed that he had called out his younger sisters name when he was ina a few moments ago. Seeing Ning Cheng frown, Yue Ying quickly said, Big Brother Ning, please do not misunderstand, I only wanted to ask because you kept repeating these names in your sleep. Is that Sister Luo Fei, the one that I saw in the Mo Ze Grand za, the sister you keep mentioning? Ning Cheng sighed, My sister is called Ning Ruo Lan, she is just like you, and is a very lovely girl. Of the pair of pearl hair clips, I gave one of them to Mu Wan, however for some reason she ended up losing it. Speaking till here, he had a self-deprecating smile on his face, that pearl hair clip was not actually lost by Tian Mu Wan. However, to Ning Cheng, he would have rather lost it to Tian Mu Wan rather than letting others throw it away. Seeing the somewhat self-ridiculing expression on Ning Chengs face, Yue Ying immediately understood what might had happened, and immediately spoke up, Big Brother Ning, I think that Sister Luo Fei is a very nice person.... She also finally understood why Ning Cheng was so good to her, it was because he was originally thinking of his own younger sister. After saying that, she felt that her words were somewhat monotonous, as she hurriedly put the pair of pearl hair clips into Ning Chengs hands and said, Big Brother Ning, I think that you should give these pearl hair clips to Sister Luo Fei. Yue Ying did not know why that person called Mu Wan would throw away Big Brother Nings pearl hair clips, but she had seen Luo Fei, she could clearly see that she really was very much worried about Ning Cheng, she would definitely not discard Ning Chengs pearl hair clips. Ning Cheng smiled, The things of the past are in the past, its just something I think of asionally. As for this pair of pearl hair clips, from your words I can see that you already like it very much, it would be better if you keep it for yourself. Well this matter was caused by me, since I did not gift the full pair of the pearl hair clips to my little sister at that time. Yue Ying could not bear to part with the pair of pearl hair clips in his hands, after hesitated for a bit, she finally took one back and said, Big Brother Ning, since you are insisting I will keep one, I will certainly not throw it away, and I am also certain that Sister Luo Fei would also not lose it. Ning Cheng looked at his hand which, at the moment, contained an extremely ordinary pearl hair clip, as he nodded and said, Well, so be it. Yue Ying saw Ning Cheng finally ept one of the pearl hair clips, immediately became happy in her heart, finally putting away other pearl hair clip away, she asked, Big Brother Ning, I think that you are very good from the bottom of my heart, then why did Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun dislike you so much? You wille to understand thister. Right,ter if you dont want to cultivate with your original Cultivation Method, then have a look in your Storage Ring to look for a more suitable Cultivation Method, if you can find one, then you can change your Cultivation Method to cultivate more efficiently. Ning Cheng did not go through with the exnation of the matters of why Yong Gu Yun disliked him, this kind of thing was simply too boring to exin. As for how Yong Gu Yun looked at him, he did not care about that at all. Yue Ying immediately thought of the words that Ning Cheng had spoken to her earlier, to judge a matter to be right or wrong, one had to rely on their own understanding rather than basing it off the half-understanding of others. Regarding the matter of the Cultivation Method, she had already seen the contents of the Storage Ring, inside the ring she had found a non-attributed Cultivation Method Jade Piece, although she did not know the Grade of this Cultivation Method, but she nned to cultivate using that non-attributed Cultivation Method. Seeing Ning Cheng once again close his eyes to heal himself, Yue Ying hurriedly left the room. Now that Ning Cheng came back, she was no longer afraid, and could start her cultivation with ease. Ning Cheng was already immersed in his consciousness to focus on the more than 600 changes from that picture on the leather like parchment that he initially remembered. He wanted to very much know why his understanding of the changes he observed were different from the ones Yue Ying observed. When Ning Chengpletely immersed himself in the changes of the pictures, he unexpectedly saw more different pictures once again. He had absolutely not seen those pictures before. Before he only saw a bit more than 600 changes in the picture, but now they were more than double as they still continued to increase. Ning Chengs cultivation was limited, however because he had the Mysterious Yellow Bead in his Zifu, it simply wasnt a problem anymore. Even after seeing so many changes, he did not be muddleheaded even once. Maybe it was because of the few tips from Yue Ying, but Ning Cheng was finally now able to see the source of the Cultivation Method in the original picture. These images gradually blended together, as he for the first time after a long time entered the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he gradually became aware that the Formless and the Creation aspects of the Mysterious Yellow Bead were harmonising with each other, letting Ning Cheng unconsciously enter into a Meditative Cultivation State. A momentter Ning Cheng opened his eyes and lifted his hands, as an innumerable High Grade Spirit Stones flew out from his Storage Bag and neatly piled up in front of him, as he once again started to cultivate. He wanted to clearly understand what the chant Formless Creation meant, as this could even be treated as cultivating in a Cultivation Method that had no Cultivation Method to Cultivate. The Formless did not represent any Cultivation Method, but as long as one started to cultivate, at that moment his consciousness would automatically produce the most correct way to circte his True Essence. It was not so much as a Cultivation Method, rather it was better to say that it was Cultivation Method that changed at every moment. This Cultivation Method changed with time, ce and the degree of purity of ones Spiritual Qi. This kind of Cultivation Method was not something that could be inherited, and he was the only person in the entire world who could use it to cultivate. Combining the information that he gleaned from the leather like parchment and the information that he obtained from the Mysterious Yellow Beads Origin at the same ce made Ning Cheng to vaguely grasp at the so called Heaven and Earth Cultivation Methods. As he had the good fortune to receive one of the five heaven defying treasures that was the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he learned that in this chaotic universe there were five kinds of Cultivation Methods that were not epted by the Heavens and the Earth. And as he felt his Origin Cultivation Method form in his mind, he found that this Cultivation Method was not set in stone like the others, one could change it anytime and anywhere, as it belonged to the Chaotic Origin Cultivation Methods, moreover it could only be acquired by a single person and that too if they had tremendous luck. If the Origin one obtained was moreplete, the Cultivation Method generated would be even more powerful. This Cultivation Method as such was not something that was permitted by the heavens, if one did not have a great wisdom and great perseverance, then if they did not use it to cultivate their mortal bodies, then they were sure to be likely to face a terrifying tribtion lightning that would simply turn them into ash. As for the other four types of the Cultivation Methods that were not of the Heavens or the Earth, he only came to know that they existed, but he also knew that he actually would not be able to understand anything about it. Chapter 0136 – Advancing Through Levels Chapter 0136: Advancing Through Levels After changing the Cultivation Method in which she was cultivating, Yue Ying just used a few days to break through to the Qi Gathering 7th Level. She was really overjoyed, after stopping to cultivate, she began thinking that since it has already been a few days, but that Ning Cheng still did seem to havee out. Yue Ying hurriedly arrived at his room, when she arrived in the room she saw that the Spiritual Qi had already taken the form of a fog like substance, which made her immediately stunned. At this time Ning Cheng was already out of bed, and was sitting in the middle of the room cultivating, while the inside of the room waspletely filled with Spirit Stones. She, at the moment, could only see that the Spiritual Qi hadpletely turned into a whirlpool like shape around Ning Cheng, as it was being absorbed by him continuously. Yue Ying had seen others cultivate, even she cultivated by absorbing the Spiritual Qi by herself, but she had never seen such a fearful and fast scene of Spiritual Qi absorption. She knew that at this time, Ning Cheng was seriously cultivating, and hence should not disturb him. She hastily sat down against the door and began cultivating. Here the Spiritual Qi was extremely rich,pared the Spiritual Qi in Spirit Stones that she was using to cultivate before, she could definitely tell that it was many times better. Ning Chengs injuries had already vanished and could no longer be seen anymore, he could only feel the rich Spiritual Qi around him that he was continuously absorbing, and then was again being transformed into True Essence. At this time Ning Cheng finally became aware of the terrifying amount of Spiritual Qi around him, but he still wanted to know just how much of this Spiritual Qi could he absorb. He never had been able to be this carefree when he cultivated, this feeling was simply indescribable. This rich Spiritual Qibined with the Mysterious Yellow Origin Qi, made Ning Chengs cultivation to rise up continuously. Previously when he used Spirit Stones to cultivate, whenpared to his cultivation speed now, it basically couldnt be ced on an equal footing. Yue Ying was also standing at the door watching him, this was something that Ning Cheng was very clear about, but for now he did not pay attention to anything rted to Yue Ying. In just one month, Ning Cheng already advanced to True Condensation 5th Level, in three months Ning Cheng advanced to True Condensation 6th Level. Half a yearter, Ning Cheng was already at the Peak of True Condensation 7th Level. But at this time, six monthster, Ning Chengs stash of Spirit Stones were almost exhausted. Under the influence of the rich Spiritual Mist around Ning Cheng, Yue Yings speed of cultivation was also much faster than when she used the High Grade Spirit Stones. Besides among this heavy Spiritual Mist, there was also a slight trace of the Mysterious Yellow Qi, which allowed Yue Ying to travel a thousand Li a day, unlike the slow progress of Ning Cheng. With its help Yue Ying was finally able to advance to Qi Gathering 8th Level before getting up to eat for a bit as she left Ning Cheng to cultivate. When she started to cultivate after eating, she finally advanced in rank to Qi Gathering 9th Level, but even at this time Ning Cheng was still deeply immersed in his cultivation. The only difference was, Ning Cheng would asionally unconsciously eat a few pieces of dried ration every now and then. Fortunately, she knew that Ning Cheng was still in the middle of cultivation. Otherwise she might have gone crazy. The only thing that she could do, was to continue to eat something, and they once again continue to cultivate. This day Yue Ying could hear all the Meridians in her body breaking out with a crackling like sound, as her Qi also began transforming into the more powerful True Essence. Yue Ying finally understood that she had finally started to advance to the True Condensation Realm. Yue Ying did not have the True Condensation Pill, so she did not know if this kind advancement was the real True Condensation Realm was real or not as she had not taken the True Condensation Pill. But when she felt that she was quickly finishing advancing to the True Condensation Realm, she quickly set that matter aside in her heart, and put all her mind to transforming her Qi into True Essence. In the meantime, Ning Cheng finally broke through to the True Condensation 8th Level. As for Yue Ying, with the help of the Spiritual Mist and the trace amounts of Mysterious Yellow Qi, she finally broke through the shackles and officially advanced to the True Condensation 1st Level, as True Essence surged through her body. She could not help but exim out in a clear and crisp sound. Ning Cheng opened his eyes. As he stood up he felt thatpared to before, his True Essence was several times stronger, resulting in him bing pleasantly surprised in both his mind and heart while simultaneously also feeling a bit pained. The main reason why he was surprised was that although he had advanced to the True Condensation 8th Level, his strength was still extremely powerful. The reason why he felt pained was that he had obtained so many Spirit Stones, but almost all of it were used up by him. But using even these many Spirit Stones, he was only able to advance to just True Condensation 8th Level. With such a cultivation speed, just how many Spirit Stones would he require to advance to the Profound Core Realm? Oh, Big Brother Ning, Im sorry, I could not help myself and restrain my emotions, and ended up affecting your state of cultivation. Yue Ying saw Ning Cheng finally woke up, hurriedly spoke in a flustered tone. But at the moment Ning Chengs mood was really good, he just wanted to y a joke on her, but then with an astonished expression on his face he asked, Yue Ying, you unexpectedly reached the True Condensation Ream? Where did you get the True Condensation Pill from? Yue Ying was at a loss, I did not have a True Condensation Pill, ah, after I advanced to the Qi Gathering 9th Level, I simply naturally broke through the Qi Gathering Realm and into the True Condensation Realm. Um, now that I think of it, I should have benefitted from Big Brother Ning. When I was cultivating in this room, not only was my speed faster, but cultivating in this Spiritual Mist was also much better than cultivating with Spirit Stones. Ning Cheng sighed darkly in his heart as he became a bit depressed, this was a true genius, with just a bit of Spiritual Mist, she could just casually advance to the True Condensation Realm, moreover she did not even need a True Condensation Pill. Thinking back to the time when he wanted to advance to the True Condensation Realm. The two people, him and Tai Shu Shi, just to obtain a True Condensation Pill, had to go through various hardships and struggles just to obtain it. This person simply cannot bepared to them. How long was I holed up? Ning Cheng suddenly remembered this matter, if it was already past three months, then it was tantamount to sess. Later he would try and think of a way to get out of the Angry Axe Valley and return to the Hua Continent. I guess that it been about 7 or 8 months. Although Yue Ying was also holed up, she was not like Ning Cheng, as she would, from time to time, wake up and take a look at Ning Cheng. It indeed is as expected. Ning Cheng spoke as if talking to himself. Speaking till that point Ning Cheng asked, Yue Ying, what ns do you have from now? I do not know where I should go, if that Senior Kang is still looking for me, then even if I return to Hua Continent, I would not be able to escape from his hands, but I am really worried about my brother. Yue Ying said with a vacant expression, if this Senior Kang really was looking for her, then she truly had no ce to go to. But Ning Cheng spoke with affirmation, The old man surnamed Kang will definitely not go to the Hua Continent, after arriving here for three months, the two of us have note out of the Angry Axe Valley, so that man surnamed Kang will definitely think that we are in the Angry Axe Valley. So as long as we are in the Angry Axe Valley, and then secretly leave the Jia Continent, as such there would not be a possibility of such a thing to happen immediately. Big Brother Ning, do you want to go back to the Hua Continent? Yue Ying immediately asked. Ning Cheng shook his head, With my ability, not to mention about passing through the Lost Mountain Range, even if I can pass through the Lost Mountain Range, at this time returning to the Hua Continent would not be a good thing. Whats more, whether we can exit this Angry Axe Valley is itself not certain. That.... Yue Ying absolutely did not think of this. Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment before saying, Moreover I definitely dont dare to exit from here, I think that once we exit from this ce we would be transferred out immediately. Unfortunate I dont have enough Spirit Stones, if I had enough Spirit Stones, then perhaps I could cultivate to the Essence Building Realm, and then go out. It was really regrettable for Ning Cheng, if he had enough Spirit Stones, then he would have definitely continued to cultivate. When he finally advanced to the True Condensation 9th Level sessfully, then he would have used the Best Quality Spirit Stones to tackle the boundary to the Essence Building Realm. Anyways, he already had seven pieces of Best Quality Spirit Stones, if one was not enough, then he would immediately use another one. Big Brother Ning, I have some Spirit Stones in here. Yue Ying hastily took off the ring on her hand and gave it to Ning Cheng. Big Brother Ning, I do not have a ce to go now, I can only stay with you. When your cultivation is high, I also will have a bit of safety. During my cultivation before, I ended up using a lot of your Spiritual Mist, it would be best if you can use these Spirit Stones for your own cultivation. Yue Ying saw that Ning Cheng was hesitating a bit and hurriedly added. Ning Cheng finally reluctantly nodded, taking the Storage Ring from Yue Ying he said, If that really is the case, then I will use your Spirit Stones. If after we exit this ce, we are not transferred out, then I have a method to return the Spirit Stones back to you. These words Ning Cheng spoke were not boasting, he knew the location of the Spirit Stone Mine, and it would definitely have many Spirit Stones. Now that all the people were sent away, he can now go ahead and leisurely dig out those Spirit Stones. He knew that he would definitely find many. I do not want that many Spirit Stones. When Yue Ying heard Ning Cheng say that he would repay the Spirit Stones to her, she hastily waved her hand and adamantly opposed the idea. Ning Cheng also did not exin any further, as he took out all the Spirit Stones from inside Yue Yings Storage Ring. Inside Yue Yings Storage Ring there were 10,000-20,000 High Grade Spirit Stones, after Ning Cheng took out all of them, he once again spread them evenly throughout the entire room. Then Ning Cheng arranged a small Spiritual Gathering Array Formation, and then atst sat down in the middle of this Array Formation as he continued to attack the barrier to the True Condensation 9th Level. When Yue Ying saw that Ning Cheng had once again began cultivating, she also at the same time sat down to consolidate her own cultivation. Ning Cheng once again immersed himself in the absorption of Spiritual Qi. Inside the room the Spiritual Qi was being crazily absorbed by him after quickly turning into a Spiritual Mist. Then numerous Katcha like sounds emerged, as once again several of the obstructed acupuncture points were forced open, which allowed Ning Cheng to smoothly enter the True Condensation 9th Level unhindered. In his spacious Meridians, the True Essence was getting more and more concentrated, even the sound of the True Essence flowing through them could be heard distinctly. Ning Cheng still was crazily absorbing the Spiritual Qi, he simply did not have any regards to his surrounding now. He did not know how long he had been doing this, but now his True Essence was concentrated to such a point that it was even starting to transform into a genuine liquid, although it was still called as True Essence, however this True Essence had already started to trans mutate. A formidable True Essence and Spiritual Sense continuously washed over Ning Cheng flowing out from his Meridians and Zifu, Ning Cheng knew that he must break through to the Essence Building Realm at this moment. He did not hesitate and immediately brought out two pieces of the Best Quality Spirit Stones. Gripping one in each hand, the gentle but extremely pure Spiritual Qi in it almost made Ning Chengfortably speak out shen yin. This Spiritual Qi that he was absorbing was simply too rich and pure, an ordinary Spirit Stone simply couldnt even bepared to it. The extremely rich Spiritual Qi from the Best Quality Spirit Stones directly flowed into Ning Chengs Meridians and Dantian, transforming into an even more purer Spiritual Qi, as it once again washed over Ning Chengs body. Even the just transformed True Essence was also flowing much more smoothly. Moreover, as Ning Chengs Meridians were remoulded by the Mysterious Yellow Origin, they were already thick and spacious but under its influence once again transformed. As a result of this impact, his Meridians once again expanded and strengthened themselves to a whole new level. Ning Cheng indistinctly felt the barrier to the 1st Level, he felt that as long as he could st open this barrier to the 1st Level, he would see a whole new world, as he advanced in rank to a whole new level. Ning Cheng continued to crazily absorb the Spiritual Qi from the Best Quality Spirit Stones to attack this barrier. He was eager to know what kind of world would he see after advancing, moreover he also had a pressing need to possess an even more formidable strength. Truly speaking, cultivating with a Best Quality Spirit Stone was extremely rare, not only were these Spirit Stones rare to the point of being non-existent, only an extremely few people would attack the boundary to the Essence Building Realm with a Best Quality Spirit Stone, moreover he was using two of such pieces. But to Ning Cheng, even after crazily absorbing the Best Quality Spirit Stones, he still could not break through the barrier. The Spiritual Qi that was needed to break through the barrier far exceeded the scope of his imagination. After the two pieces of the Best Quality Spirit Stones turned to ash, Ning Cheng almost without hesitation, once again took out two more pieces of Best Quality Spirit Stones. He knew the truth, if he gave up know, then he not only wasted the two pieces of Best Quality Spirit Stones, but he would also not be able to break through in his cultivation in a short time. The extremely pure and rich Spiritual Qi from the two pieces of the Best Quality Spirit Stones once again flowed into Ning Chengs Meridians. Under the cirction of the Cultivation Method of Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng once again tried to attack the barrier that was acting as a shackle to his cultivation. Chapter 0137 – Formidable Essence Building Chapter 0137: Formidable Essence Building With a bang, Ning Chengs entire body rxed as at this moment, that liquefied True Essence also looked for an outlet to vent. His Meridians and the Acupuncture Points throughout his body immediately issued a series of resounding sounds. As each of those resounding sounds emerged he could feel his entire body lighten up bit by bit, section by section. Never had such a pleasurable feeling and a sense of understanding ever appeared in his heart, Ning Cheng really could not endure it any longer, and immediately gave out an endless shout of joy that made Yue Ying startled. This kind of formidable feeling of intense joy and strength simply wasnt something that Ning Cheng was unable to express fully. At this time his entire body was oozing out massive quantities of impurities, but he simply did not take any notice of it. Ning Cheng knew that he finally seeded in stepping into the Essence Building Realm. But this stepping into the Essence Building Realm came at the price of using up four Best Quality Spirit Stones. For a cultivator, the first real watershed point in ones cultivation was to sessfully enter the Essence Building Realm, only after entering that Realm, would one be actually able to have the qualifications to call themselves as genuine Cultivators. Until that time, they would only be casting their foundations. But this kind of joy had still not yet ended, when Ning Cheng could vaguely feel the indistinct shape of his Sea of Consciousness. Just like the breaking of an eggshell, it immediately burst and spread out. Ning Chengs eyes turned red with excitement, he knew that after one seeds in stepping into the Essence Building Realm, he would form a Sea of Consciousness. He would finally no longer have to fight against other peoples Spiritual Consciousness with just his Spiritual Sense, he now officially had the Sea of Consciousness. Later he could also extend out his Spiritual Consciousness. Ning Cheng heard that if one cultivates their Spiritual Consciousness to a very high level, then they can even attack using just their Spiritual Consciousness. Forcefully stabilising his mind, Ning Cheng started consolidating his cultivation of Essence Building Realm, tidying up the fearsome True Essence, while simultaneously improving his Sea of Consciousness. Meanwhile his True Essence cleaned out the impurities still remaining in his Meridians and body. This was the Marrow Cleansing Process, as long as one stepped into the Essence Building Realm, every single cultivator would have to face such an experience. Undergoing the Marrow Cleansing Process can make a cultivator even more formidable, as it makes the mortal body even more unobstructed and unrestrained. Yue Ying looked at Ning Cheng with a nk expression on her face as he seeded in stepping into Essence Building Realm. She simply was unable to feel the formidable strength of Ning Cheng, but she simply had an indistinct feeling, that Ning Cheng had finally stepped into the Essence Building Realm. She could not help butpare him to the old Essence Building Realm cultivators in the already established Falling Star Academy. After a few more days passed by, Ning Cheng finally opened his eyes. Immediately jumping up, his eyes betrayed the joy of his innermost feelings. Big Brother Ning, congrattions on your sess in entering the Essence Building Realm. Yue Ying spoke with genuine happiness from the bottom of her heart. Yue Ying, thank you, without your 10,000-20,000 High Grade Spirit Stones, I would definitely be unable to seed in breaking into the Essence Building Realm. You have provided me with the biggest favour in my life. Ning Cheng was really grateful to Yue Ying from the deepest parts of his heart. He was even able toprehend such kind of Cultivation Method during this time. Moreover, his own cultivation also went all the way unimpeded. At this time, he was able to break through to the Essence Building Realm in one vigorous effort, if he had to do this again over the same period of time, then he knew that his progress wont necessarily be this smooth. If he could increase his cultivation more and more this early, then wouldnt this be the most appropriate time? It wasnt after advancing to the Essence Building Realm, that Ning Cheng finally gained a genuine understanding towards it, for him to seriously injure that Intermediate Stage Essence Building Cultivation was not undeserved. When he thought back to his insights on the two types of Axe Intents, he found that he really was naive to think that he could go against an Essence Building Cultivator. It was not that his Axe Intents were not good. But the difference between his Spiritual Consciousness and True Essence was simply too big. For him to be able to run away from the pursuit of an Essence Building Cultivator, was already a stroke of good fortune. But he also knew that now with his present cultivation, if he went out and battled against that Intermediate Stage Essence Building Realm Cultivator once again, then he wouldnt have to use much strength against him, and could definitely kill the opposite party. Moreover, the Cultivation Method that he cultivated in was also much more powerful than the others, but although the Cultivation Method that he used to cultivate was more powerful, the cultivation resources required for him to cultivate were also much more. Ning Cheng did not care about it. What he wanted was to be stronger and stronger and more formidable than others. This Cultivation Method called the Mysterious Yellow Formless was simply too heaven defying. Ning Cheng could definitely attest to this fact. Even if there was another cultivator with powerful qualifications, as long as he had sufficient resources, his cultivation speed would also not be much slower than the opposite partys. He only used less than three months to rise and breakthrough to the Essence Building Realm from True Condensation 8th Level, this point in itself exined it in a very illustrative way. Big Brother Ning. You are the person who saved me, if you thanked me again, then I would really be embarrassed. But Big Brother Ning, you really smell extremely foul at the moment. Now that Yue Ying and Ning Cheng were already acquainted with each other, so even their speech did not have any form of apprehensions in it. Ill wash up, then we can exit from this ce. Ning Cheng said with a smile. After Yue Ying exited, Ning Cheng used the Dust Removal Technique on him many times. But thinking that it was really not enough to remove the stink, he once again washed his body with water a few more time, changed to a clean set of clothes, then came out of the room. At this time Yue Ying was already eagerly waiting for him at the half-moon shaped arch, it was obvious that Yue Ying really wanted to leave this ce. Ning Cheng looked at Yue Ying, who already was bursting with anxiousness to go out and suddenly spoke, Want me to carry you? Yue Ying hastily shook her head and said, No, No, I cane up by myself, have you forgotten, that it was me who carried you back here thest time. You really dont want to? If you dont want to, then lets exit this ce now. Ning Cheng also deliberately spoke out another sentence. ...... This time Yue Ying hesitated, she and Ning Cheng had been together for a long time, although they used the majority of the time to cultivate, she had already be familiar with Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng waspletely not the kind of person that Yong Gu Yun made him out to be, although she still had some doubts in her heart at present, mostly because of the thing that Ning Cheng did with Su Zhu. So this time when Ning Cheng asked to carry her on his back, then she thought that there might be a reason for it. This.... Yue Ying hesitated for a moment, and then said, Big Brother Ning, please carry me on your back. The reason why she finally actively spoke about Ning Cheng carrying her on his back, was because she knew that Ning Cheng was not the kind of person Yong Gu Yun made him out to be, so she trusted and believed that Ning Cheng would not do anything else to her. This time Ning Cheng did not use a rope to securely tie Yue Ying to his back, but rather simply carried Yue Ying on his back as he went to open the Array Formation, and immediately entered the river water. After Ning Cheng entered the river waters, Yue Ying then understood why Ning Cheng offered to carry her. At this time Ning Cheng formed a spherical shell around them with his True Essence that help them avoid the surrounding waters, moreover not even a single drop of water from the surroundings came in. Thank you, Big Brother Ning. Yue Ying felt relieved in her heart, and suddenly feltpassion towards being carried on Ning Chengs back. The two people finally then left the underwater mansion, but none of them proposed to take away the Water Avoiding Pearl. Once the Water Avoiding Pearl was taken away, then the surrounding Water Avoidance Array Formation would not be able to block the river water, and would instantly turn the underwater mansion into rubble. Although Ning Cheng was a grateful person, but he simply did not think about it. Yue Ying had sort of expected it, but since Ning Cheng did not mention about this matter, she also did not mention about it. Big Brother Ning can I ask you something? Yue Ying who was on Ning Chengs back at present suddenly asked. Ning Cheng absentmindedly replied, You can ask, as long as I can answer your questions, I will and will not hide anything. Um, Big Brother Ning, on the day that I and Sister Yong Gu Yun and Sister Lu Xue saw you and Sister Su Zhu in the Clear Heart Academy together, did you really like Sister Su Zhu? Once Yue Ying spoke it out she realised that she should not have done so. Ning Cheng showed a faint smile, If you want to really ask if I slept with Sister Su Zhu, then please go ahead and directly ask, you dont need to beat around the bush. Hearing Ning Chengs straightforward words, Yue Yings face immediately felt as if it was burning, as in her mind she really had such kind of meaning. But how could she ask others about such a matter in a casual way, Big Brother Ning was simply too direct. She added in a low voice as she put her head down as she blushed fiercely, I wanted to say that Senior Sister Apprentice Luo Fei is really very good, I also very much like Senior Sister Apprentice Su Zhu...... Everyone has their own idea, Ning Cheng was simply toozy to exin such a thing to Yue Ying. He just suddenly asked, Yue Ying, did we not live in a room together for nearly a year? Yes ah...... Yue Ying answered, while she was still calcting, they truly did live together in a room for nearly a year. Thats good. Then Ning Cheng once again spoke, Did you also not take off my clothes, so doesnt this mean that we also slept together? Ah.... Yue Yings face immediately turned even a deeper shade of red, Big Brother Ning, what are you saying, although I stripped off your clothes, when did I sleep with you.... Saying that, Yue Ying felt that this was not right, although she had stripped off Ning Chengs clothes, but other than his shorts, the rest of the clothes were taken off by her, but it was in order to save Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng couldnt be put on the bed wet right? Ning Cheng once again spoke with a self-deprecating tone, Yue Ying, you have stripped off my clothes, we also lived in a room together for nearly a year, but you know that we really did not sleep together. So then why did you think that me and Su Zhu slept together when you walked in and saw me and Su Zhu together? Is it because someone told you? I understand, Big Brother Ning, you really were not with Su Zhu tog.... After saying to that point, Yue Ying suddenly stopped, sleeping together, those two words she did not speak as her face once again turned crimson red, now that she said it, it sounded even more ambiguous. However, Yue Ying quickly changed the topics and said, Big Brother Ning, since you have not done such a thing, then why didnt you exin it properly? Ning Cheng spoke in a light voice, What are Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun to me? Why should I exin it to them? Even if they dont believe me, I dont care and I wont waste my time to exin it. Those who believe in me, dont need my justification to believe in me. As for those who dont believe in me. They wont believe me no matter how flowery I present it to them. Im sorry. Yue Ying had initially thought that Ning Cheng would not exin further even if she asked, but at this time she finally understood the few words that Ning Cheng spoke out just now. There are times when you have to keep your own opinions of people and things, and if someone or something tries to change your views, then you have to go out and make sure to confirm it by yourself. Now that Yue Ying had heard Ning Chengs words, the embarrassment of lying on Ning Chengs backpletely disappeared. Now that Ning Cheng had stated in such a clear way, it no longer needed any exnation, she also felt that she had really misunderstood Ning Cheng back then, and was even unfair towards Ning Cheng at that time. Unconsciously, she hugged Ning Cheng even more tightly, and even tightened her legs around him. Although Ning Cheng was carrying Yue Ying on his back, he really did not mind such a green apple. But now that Yue Ying was subconsciously hugging him even more tightly, moreover even tightened her legs around him, it instead made Ning Cheng a bit warm in his heart. He quickly increased his speed, although he knew that Yue Ying had not done this intentionally, however such an unconscious movement was really inappropriate. Now that Yue Ying was making such an effort, Ning Cheng felt his back be even more hot. Although Yue Ying did not understand what she had done, but she immediately knew that her subconscious movement was something improper. She was just about to loosen up, when a bright light hit her eyes, as Ning Cheng flew out of the river carrying her on his back, andnded on the shore. We really are not being transferred out.... Yue Ying was pleasantly surprised as she called out, what she worried the most was that they would be transferred out once they came out of the river. If after being transferred outside, that old man Kang really was still waiting for them outside, then it really would not be a good thing. Chapter 0138 – Do Not Speak Here Chapter 0138 C Do Not Speak Here Ha Ha, we are rich.... Ning Chengughed, as he turned to look at Yue Ying and said, Yue Ying, Ill take you mining. Yue Ying did not react, as she stupidly stared at Ning Cheng and repeated his words, Mining? Thats right, we are going mining. Just as Ning Cheng finished speaking, he took a step forward. When Yue Ying saw this, she quickly followed behind Ning Cheng, she was now an Early Stage True Condensation Cultivator. Her cultivation now was many dozen times stronger that before, so of course, her speed would also increase. ...... After more than two hours, Ning Cheng nkly stared at the totally messed up mining field, and it was only after a good while did he react, How is this possible? This was definitely the mine that he had left from previously, moreover he had only dug up a very small part, even if there were tens of thousands of people dug here till the Angry Axe Valley closed up, it would still be unlikely topletely dug up, right? But as to the present situation in front of him, it simply did not even resemble the mine that he had left before. Not to mention a mine, there wasnt even aplete weed on the ground that could be seen, the entire mine waspletely dug up by others. Hey Big Brother Ning, look there, there seem to be still some people here...... Yue Ying said as she pointed to a ce in the distance. Ning Cheng then saw that in front of them, in a distance, were figures of two True Condensation Cultivators, it seemed as if they were looking for something. What the hell is this? Didnt we escape the transmission out of Angry Axe Valley, or did the transfer really did not start because of the ident that urred in the Angry Axe Valley? Ning Cheng said as he really could not understand what was the matter here. Ning Cheng quickly arrived in front of these two cultivators. These two cultivators when they saw Ning Cheng and Yue Yinge over, immediately became alert and stared at the two of them in a hostile manner. Ning Cheng cupped his fists in front of him and said, Two friends, me and my Junior Sister Apprentice have been trapped in this ce for almost a year, as such we missed the transmission time to get out of the Angry Axe Valley. How havent the two friends here not been transmitted out? The two True Condensation Cultivators saw that Ning Cheng was only inquiring about this matter, as such slightly became less alert towards them. One of them said in a distressed tone, Dont say that, not to mention that you have not been transferred out, rather all the people that came into the Angry Axe Valley are unable to go out. After the ident in the Angry Axe Valley that happened at the beginning, even after the three months passed by, no one was able to be transferred out. Ning Cheng and Yue Ying immediately became silent, since not even a single person who entered the Angry Axe Valley were transmitted out, that means that what they had considered to be a good fortune, that they had pinned most of their hopes on, fell empty. ...... Although this was not a very good news but Ning Cheng was only a bit disappointed, as he walked away with Yue Ying. During their walk, not to mention a Spiritual Grasses, even Monstrous Beasts were hard toe by. This Valley is really unworthy of its name. Yue Ying said in a somewhat depressed tone. No, it is because the number of people who entered the Angry Axe Valley are simply too many. When we were at the entrance to this Valley in the Jia Continent, there were already tens of thousands of people who entered from there, maybe there were even more people who entered from the other entrances. With so many people entering the Angry Axe Valley, and also going through almost a year of searching, even the best of the things would be taken away. Ning Cheng spoke while sighing, he had been in closed door cultivation for too long. There definitely were lots of good things in this Valley, however whenpared to the other people, what he obtained at this time would certainly not be something that could even be counted. Big Brother Ning, shall we go to the depths of the Angry Axe Valley, I heard that the Angry Axe Valley is boundless, even if several hundreds of thousands of people came, there would still be many ces that they would have not gone to. Yue Ying quickly replied. Good. Ning Cheng was also thinking of this, since there were simply a lot of things in this Angry Axe Valley. It would be impossible to fully empty out the Angry Axe Valley is such a short time. His original idea was to find lots of Spiritual Grasses and lots of cultivation resources in the Angry Axe Valley, and then once again return back to the underwater mansion under the river and start studying Alchemy. Although he was able to advance from the True Condensation Realm to the Essence Building Realm, but he really wasted a lot of energy, wasted a lot of Spirit Stones, and even used up four pieces of the Best Quality Spirit Stones. He knew that if this continued then he would require a lot more resources in the future. How couldnt he not try and learn Alchemy? Although he was not able to go back in time to find Ji Luo Fei, but Ning Cheng believed that Ji Luo Fei would definitely be safe in the God Wind Academy. Moreover, Ji Luo Fei was also very much aware of his thoughts. Since he wanted to let Ji Luo Fei to wait for him in the God Wind Academy, then Ji Luo Fei would definitely be waiting for him in the God Wind Academy. In fact, he knew that she would remain there unless the God Wind Academy no longer existed in Hua Continent. But the fact was that the God Wind Academy was a 5 Star Academy, how could it possibly cease to exist without any reason? ...... In the depths of the Angry Axe Valley, stretching over hundreds of miles was a mountain range, that was, at the moment, crowded with several tens of thousands of cultivators. Rather than saying that it was a mountain range that stretched for hundreds of miles, it would be better to say that itprised of innumerable low hills. But these innumerable low hills were covered in lush and verdant greens. Moreover, there was the Qi from the Spiritual Grasses blowing through the air, as even from a distance everyone could see extremely High Ranked Spiritual Grasses that were at a distance from them. What was strange was that, even though there were many High Ranked Spiritual Grasses, but not even one of the cultivators present there were swarming towards them. If one looked closely, then some of these hills were already dug out of shape, while there were still many remaining that were safe and sound. Many of the Cultivators formed groups, and some of them did not disperse till the hill that they were on waspletely dug up. Every single one of them present was showing a strong momentum as they all pressed forward. Together with such an imposing momentum, it looked as if they were fighting against the hills as their opponents. Finally, someone cried out with joy, it was as if the cultivators fighting against the hills were finally winning, as the first incorporealyer surrounding the hill finally disappeared. At once all the people swarmed towards it. If a person was to see such a scene from the corner, he could then understand why some of the hills here were dug out of shape, and why there were still some hills that were safe and sound. Senior Sister Apprentice Jing Xiu, I found a good thing.... A very ugly looking girl joyfully called out. A young male cultivator beside her quickly covered that girls mouth, while seizing the thing in her hand and quickly putting it into his own Storage Bag, and then spoke to her in a severe tone, Danqin, dont speak too much here, once you find something, immediately put it away and continue. This very ugly looking girl did not have the time to answer, when they heard someone shouting from the edge, I saw that thing first, take it out. This young male cultivator pulled the ugly young girl behind her, and slowly spoke in a polite voice, My friend, these things here are ownerless, moreover this thing was obtained by my Junior Sister Apprentice a moment ago, your statement is a little too off the point. Talk less nonsense, are you going to hand it over or not. This mans cultivation was obviously not low, and spoke out with some impatience. Why do we have to hand it over? A beautiful female cultivator with a slightly dark skin immediately spoke out loudly with a sarcastic voice. The male cultivator showed a fiendish grin as he spoke, If you dont pay up then you can only die. Speaking till here, that male cultivator immediately took out a huge green w, once this green w came out, a huge overwhelming presence swept across the hill, and immediately enveloped the three people in front of them. Under such a horrifying Killing Intent emanating from the giant green w, even breathing for them was difficult. This trio was undoubtedly the three individuals that got separated from Ning Cheng, Cang Shuo, Meng Jing Xiu and Ruimu Danqin. If Ning Cheng had not gone into closed door cultivation for nearly a year, then during this long time, they would have already met up. Only because Ning Cheng was cultivating behind closed doors at the bottom of that river for almost a year, so even when the three of them went looking for him, they could not find Ning Cheng. When Meng Jing Xiu saw the other party initiate the attack first, she also did not n to endure it, as she immediately brought out her long halberd, as she immediately shot out with her [Raging Tides of the River]. She was only at True Condensation 6th Level, while the opposite party was already at True Condensation 9th Level. Although she had her own pride in her strength, but she really could not dare to look down at the strength of the True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator in front of her. The Halberd Shadows moved just like the raging tides of a violent river and waspletely overflowing with her Killing Intent as it approached the giant green w with an overwhelming imposing manner that blotted out the sky. It felt as if Meng Jing Xius attack wouldpletely swallow up that True Condensation 9th Level cultivator and his trio. Her Halberd Shadowspletely swept out the other partys offensive, even that trio also immediately felt chills down their bodies. They had never thought that a True Condensation 6th Level Cultivator would have such a powerful halberd technique. Boom.... Ka Ka.... The True Condensation 9th Level Cultivators giant green w and halberds killer move immediately collided with each other, as their respective True Essence immediately exploded out. Several Halberd Shadows were able to get past the blockade of the giant w, and exploded on the chest of the True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator. Although the Halberd Shadows were able to get past the giant w, but its power and influence was greatly reduced, as such it could only tear open the clothes of the True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator, and only give him a few bloodstains. These bloodstains were simply superficial, but this True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator could clearly feel that he would have fallen under it if not for his giant w blocking most of the power. Meng Jing Xius heart sank, she thought that this attack would seriously injure the other side, but she never dreamed that this attack would only produce a few superficial blood stained injuries on him. If they really had to fight all out with them, then their situation did not look optimistic at all. Ha Ha.... since the two of them have attacked our Senior Apprentice Brother Qu, such being the case, then dont me me, Shang Mou Gao, to be impolite. As the voice fell, a man wearing a brown robe jumped in front of Meng Jing Xiu. Are you really not concerned about face, I was just standing here a moment ago and did not move at all, when did the two of us attack you? Cang Shuo angrily cursed out. That male cultivator called Shang Mou Gao simply ignored Cang Shuo, as he immediately brought out a Flying Sword as he pointed it towards Meng Jing Xiu, while he turned to the other True Condensation 9th Level Cultivation who was pushed back by Meng Jing Xiu and spoke, Senior Apprentice Brother Qu, for you to personally go and teach them a lesson is simply not good, let me handle this ck pot of a woman. Meng Jing Xiu wanted to retort with a few words, but when she heard the rude words spoken by that brown robbed cultivator, she suddenly trembled with rage, and once again shot out with the long halberd in her hands. The continuous waves formed from the Halberd Shadows were also much more powerful than before, but these killer shadows were easily blocked by the other partys Sword Light. Meng Jing Xius heart sank once again. Because she now had practical experience from before, she knew that this man called Shang Mou Gao was more powerful than Fang Xin who had easily defeated her in the Mo Ze Grand za, moreover he was stronger by more than a little bit. Moreover, the Sword Light that he sent out was very strange, it seemed as if it shackled her True Essence and Spiritual Sense. But here was not the ringside, she could not admit defeat, otherwise once she did, then the only thing that awaited them was death. Although those endless Halberd Shadows were easily broken by Shang Mou Gao, but the several Sword Lights of the other party actually easily moved to cut off their escape route and also to attack them. Meng Jing Xiu was greatly startled in her heart, as she immediately forcefully recovered her halberd and turned it into a shield, to block these Sword Lights from prating through. Puff Puff.... Two arrows of blood shot out, as her waist and arms were still stuck by the Sword Light. That Sword Light cut through a few centimetres of her arm as it passed through, even if that was the case, she knew that if she did not hurry up and heal it, then her arm would turn to waste. Seeing Meng Jing Xiu seriously injured, Cang Shuo, who originally knew that he would not be an opponent against the other party, was immediately struck by the giant w of the opposite party, and was suddenly sent flying away. At this point there were several bloody holes on his chest, moreover the injuries he suffered were no less lighter than Meng Jing Xiu. Ruimu Danqin was really anxious, as she quickly cried out, You dont have to kill Senior Apprentice Brother Cang and Senior Sister Apprentice Jing Xiu, well give you that thing.... Speaking till there, she immediately directly grabbed the Storage Bag of Cang Shuo and threw it down at the other party. Ruimu Danqin thought that after saying this to the other party and even throwing down their own Storage Bag, there wouldnt be any more hatred between them, and would not try to kill them. But the one called Senior Apprentice Brother Qu who was a True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator sneered and spoke, I told you take it out sooner, but its toote now...... While he spoke, he once again resorted to the giant w in his hands. Chapter 0139 – Danger May Come at Anytime Chapter 0139: Danger May Come at Anytime Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng will be here soon, if you kill Senior Apprentice Brother Shuo, then Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng will not let you off.... In Ruimu Danqins heart, Ning Xiao Cheng was the most powerful. She personally saw Ning Xiao Cheng take the first ce in the third round of the Tournament, if he wasnt powerful then how could he aplish this? Moreover, Deacon Liu also entrusted the three of them to Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, showing that Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng really had the ability and strength. Now that Cang Shuo and Meng Jing Xius life was in peril, Ruimu Danqin no longer thought about anything else and spoke out her mind, regardless of if she would be ridiculed or not. Ha Ha.... That Senior Apprentice Brother Quughed, I am Le Continents Red Heaven 7 Star Academys Qu Tong Fu, by my side is Red Heaven Academys Shang Mou Gao. You can wait here in the shade for the time being, remember that when your Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Chenges, tell him to meet his Grandpa Qu. Kill your Senior Apprentice Brother Cang? No, no, this Grandpa will extinguish both of them together along with you. At a distance Chi Zi Wen, Meng Yu Jing, Situ Yu, Ling Naixin and even Yong Gu Yun were standing in the valley, but none of them came forward to speak even a single word. They knew that if they dared to speak out, then even they would be dragged into this mess. Meng Jing Xiu desperately nced at the few people from the Hua Continent, she knew that to rely on these bunch of people to seed, was really not possible. Humans are simply fickle hearted, and these people really showed it. At this time another cry sounded out in a distance, apparently another hill was broken open, and as such numerous cultivators were swarming in. This person called Senior Apprentice Brother Qu no longer cared about killing Cang Shuo and the trio, as he also immediately followed that brown robbed cultivator called Shang Mou Gao as he rushed past them towards themotion. If you dare to run, I, your father, will rub the Bone Burning Spirit on you.... Before leaving, that True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator surnamed Qu, did not forget to leave behind a few words. Meng Jing Xiu simply did not have the chance to take back the Storage Bag, not to mention trying to kill those three people. There were so many cultivators here. So once someone broke open a hill, it would immediately cause the others to chase and grab the things. Even Meng Jing Xiu had killed three people since the time she came here. Waiting for a person to find a Spiritual Grass, and thenter killing him to obtain his spoils were all toomon here. With Meng Jing Xiu were only a few low level cultivators, as such they absolutely would not be able to snatch the good things, or even rob Spiritual Grasses from others. I am really sorry, Senior Apprentice Brother Cang, Senior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, I even implicated you all...... When Ruimu Danqin, who was innocent, saw such a battle scene, she waspletely at a loss of words at this time. Cang Shuo said with a sigh, I do not me you, its just that our experiences were simply too bad. You see those people from the Falling Star Academy, as well as the rest, were able to pick some Spiritual Grasses, moreover even people from the Intermediate ss and Advances ss Continents did note to snatch from them. Since we really do not have a background, we should have stayed in the back. Plus, with Danqin obtaining an Essence Raising Fruit, it would be strange if it was not coveted. Meng Jing Xiu was silent, as her face was getting increasingly pale, as she was seriously injured. She also understood the meaning of Cang Shuos words, the three of them simplycked experience. Usually in these kinds of situations, it would have been much better to quickly offer up the fruit to the person that demanded it. With this, at least they would be able to keep their lives. But because of her temper, she knew that she would never be able to submit to others, and as a result a fight would simply be inevitable. She would not only fight, but if fighting was not possible, then she would still try to at least scratch her opponent. If only Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng was here.... Ruimu Danqin knew that the fate of the three of them was already set in stone, so once those people finish snatching the Spiritual Grasses, the next moment they would immediatelye to deal with the three of them. Cang Shuo shook his head, I would rather Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng note here to fight him, you heard him say that he was from a 7 Star Academy. So they must also have an Essence Building Realm Master apanying them, even if Senior Apprentice Brother was extremely formidable, he would not be a match for an Essence Building Master. The three people knew that there was nowhere to run, so even as they healed each other, they remained silent. This kind of thing in this kind of ce was simply toomon, so no one even spoke up to even offer their sympathies or help to those three people. There are a few Healing Pills in here, quickly swallow them and leave this ce. I cannot help you any more than this. At this point, Situ Yu quickly came over, threw a bottle at Ruimu Danqin, and after saying those few words, immediately turned away. Ruimu Danqin stupidly looked at the bottle in her hands, but reacted immediately, quickly opening up the bottle, she removed two Healing Pills and immediately put them in Cang Shuos and Meng Jing Xius mouth. Do we really walk away from here? Ruimu Danqin remembered Situ Yus words, and quickly asked. I did not expect that that Situ Yu would actuallye up and offer us Healing Pills. Cang Shuo looked at the departing figure of Situ Yu and spoke as he sighed, then he shook his head like Yue Ying and said, There is no need to go, you can already see they have finished snatching up the Spiritual Grasses, I guess that that man surnamed Qu would be here soon. Moreover, with such serious injuries, where can we even go? ..... Ning Cheng and Yue Ying did not walk for too long, before on the third day, the two people once again met another cultivator. But this time the two people not only saw one or two cultivators, rather they saw more than tens of thousands of cultivators. When Ning Cheng was thisrge mass of people, he even suspected that almost all the cultivators left alive in the Angry Axe Valley were all concentrated here. Ning Cheng casually nced out with his Spiritual Consciousness, when he immediately saw several of his acquaintances. Chi Zi Wen, Meng Yu Jing, Situ Yu, Ling Naixin, Yong Gu Yun, but as for Fang Xin and Pu Li Xin, he could not find them. Then Ning Cheng saw Cang Shuo and Ruimu Danqin and also Meng Jing Xiu, the trio, but at this moment Ning Cheng was furious, Cang Shuo and Meng Jing Xiu were seriously injured, only Ruimu Danqin seemed to be ok, albeit with red eyes, as she took care of the two. At this moment Meng Jing Xiu was covered in blood, and her face was very pale, as one of her arms were about to fall off, and was only held on by a small amount of flesh, if it was not treated immediately, then her arm was as good as scrap. Cang Shuo was also looking listless and dpidated, and was also simrly covered in blood, moreover there were several bloody holes on his chest. But the remaining few people from the Hua Continents Academies were safe, even that Yong Gu Yun, the only Qi Gathering Cultivator among them, was also still safe and sound. However, Yong Gu Yun did not follow together with Chi Zi Wen and Meng Yu Jing, but rather she followed another group of people. Ning Cheng was in no mood to take notice of them, as he immediately came in front of Cang Shuo, and the trio, and barked, What the hell happened? Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng.... Ruimu Danqin seeing Ning Chenge over, called out in a whiny crying like voice. At this time Cang Shuo and Meng Jing Xiu also saw Ning Cheng, but their eyes were filled with a trace of guilt, it was obvious that now that Ning Cheng came over, then he would also be involved in this matter. Ning Cheng hastily said, Before saying anything else, first heal your wounds. Saying that Ning Cheng already took out two Mysterious Frost Zoysia and said, This is the Mysterious Frost Zoysia, theres a stub for each of you. Wait Wait.... A man with a lush beard immediately stepped forward in front of Ning Cheng and the three people, the expression on his face indicated that he really wanted to reach out and snatch the Mysterious Frost Zoysias in Ning Chengs hands. Ning Cheng with extreme quickness, closed up his hands, hiding the Mysterious Frost Zoysias in his hands, and then coldly red at that person as he spoke, Whats the matter? This bearded man was already at Late Stage Essence Building Realm, although Ning Cheng did not fear him, but he still had to be careful. I am Dong Guo Xiao, from the Feng Continents 7 Rainbow Pill Sect, and am a Tier 4 Pill Master. In my hands I have a Continuous Bone Healing Pill and True Internal Organ Healing Pill. Although these Pills are only Level 3 Pills, but I am sure that for the injuries of your two friends, the effect from these would be much better than your Mysterious Frost Zoysia. I can give both of them to you, as long as you give me the Mysterious Frost Zoysias that you have. Although this man with a face full of beard had a cultivation higher than Ning Cheng, but he actually did note to rob them, but rather to engage in an exchange with Ning Cheng. In the Yin Xing Maind, not all the people were like that cultivator with the surname Qu, there would still be a few people with a disposition like Dong Guo Xiao. In reality Ning Cheng already knew that a True Internal Organs Pill that was even a Level 3 Pill, was the best kind of Pill that could be avable in such a situation. He knew that for the injuries of Cang Shuo and Meng Jing Xiu, the True Internal Organs Pill would be much better than the Mysterious Frost Zoysia. Meng Jing Xius arm was hurt very badly, but fortunately the arm was not fully split off, so with the True Internal Organs Pill it would be possible to heal up quickly. Ok, my Mysterious Frost Zoysia is a Rank 4 Spiritual Grass, Ill exchange a stub of it for your two pills. Ning Cheng said as he handed the Mysterious Frost Zoysia to Dong Guo Xiao. He knew that if it was outside, then in order to exchange the precious Mysterious Frost Zoysia for two True Internal Organs Pill should be possible, but here trying to exchange a Mysterious Frost Zoysia for two True Internal Organs Pill would be really difficult. However, to do a business one had to pay close attention and first ask an exorbitant price, or return back the money on the spot. If it really was not good, then he would use two of his Mysterious Frost Zoysia, after all he only had three stubs of the nt. Dong Guo Xiao slightly hesitated, and said, If you and I trade like this, then I would have to eat a little loss, very well, I am urgently in need of this Mysterious Frost Zoysia. Can you sell me another stub to me? Ning Cheng did not expect that this Dong Guo Xiao was such an honest man, since he did not even offer a counter offer, of course he would also not take out an additional stub of the Mysterious Frost Zoysia, as he went ahead and stuffed a Mysterious Frost Zoysia in his hands and spoke, I also have an urgent need of your pills, thank you friend Dong Guo, if Ie to the Fang Continent, I will definitely consider doing a business with you. Dong Guo Xiao also quickly gave the two pills to Ning Cheng, although he was refreshingly honest in doing business, but he really was a bit too stingy, he did not even give a Jade Bottle to Ning Cheng. But Ning Cheng certainly did not care about that, he quickly put the pills in Cang Shuo and Meng Jing Xius mouths. Then carefully picked and reattached Meng Jing Xius arm with his Spiritual Consciousness, as he spoke, Both of you quickly mobilize your True Essence, and start absorbing the medicinal properties of the pill, I have already heard of the fame of the True Internal Organs Pill, those injuries should not be of a big deal for you now. Meng Jing Xiu and Cang Shuo gratefully looked at Ning Cheng, but they knew that this was not the time to speak, both of them closed their eyes and quickly circted their True Essence to heal. Dong Guo Xiao, as if he had known that trouble would follow Ning Cheng, so after exchanging the Mysterious Frost Zoysia, he immediately left the area. In his heart he was really excited, he was in a dire need for a Mysterious Frost Zoysia, he never thought that he would obtain it this easily. Although he was reluctant to part with the price that Ning Cheng asked, but his mental disposition was always this way, he knew that trouble would quickly find Ning Cheng. If Ning Cheng did not die by the end of it, then he would once again go and find Ning Cheng for another transaction. Of course, if Ning Chengs Mysterious Frost Zoysias were taken away by that person surnamed Qu, then he would just trade with that person surnamed Qu. Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, that person came, he and one of his junior seriously injured Senior Sister Apprentice Jing Xiu and Senior Apprentice Brother Cang. He was also the one who took away the Essence Raising Fruit and Senior Apprentice Brother Cangs Storage Bag, if not for another Spiritual Grass Hill being opened, he would have already killed all three of us. Ruimu Dan Qin saw that that cultivator surnamed Que over again, stood up in terror behind Ning Cheng and carefully spoke. Ha Ha, so there really was another person who came to die. Is this your Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng? Since you all havee together, then in the near future you all can also die together and would not have to worry about each otherspany...... Before seriously injuring them and looting Cang Shuos Storage Bag, that cultivator surnamed Qu had still not arrived, when his voice was immediately transmitted over to them. Chapter 0140 – Just Who Is Bullying Who Chapter 0140: Just Who Is Bullying Who Junior Apprentice Sister Danqin, is he the one who robbed your Essence Raising Fruit, then seriously wounded Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu and Young Master Cang? Ning Cheng looked at the man surnamed Qu, and asked in a slow voice. Screw your grandmother....... That man surnamed Qu had just been robbed of a Rank 4 Spiritual Grass, this person who had snatched the Rank 4 Spiritual Grass from him was not a small character, and as such he did not dare get involved with him, as a result he was very unhappy in his heart. Now that this Ning Cheng had made his appearance for some spanking, he simply could not help himself, and immediately took out the giant green w in his hands. If not for Ruimu Danqin saying that her Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng woulde, he would not have even resorted to his magic weapon. Since now that Ning Cheng had brought it up, he really did not want to be at the bottom like the several others, and immediately resorted to his magic weapon. When that man surnamed Qu resorted to his magic weapon, Ning Cheng did not even take out his Golden Great Axe, as he simply stood at the ce he was standing and punched out. Now that Ning Cheng had really entered the Essence Building Realm, he could feel the vigorous and rich True Essence flowing through him, it was something that he had not felt in a long time. At this moment the powerful strength of the Mysterious Yellow Formless Cultivation Method waspletely revealed to him beyond a doubt. This Axe Fist that was filled with a horrifying amount of Killing Intent directly transformed into an Axe Shadow as it moved towards this man surnamed Qu. This man surnamed Qu, feeling the frightening Killing Intent in Ning Chengs Axe Fist, felt as if he waspletely shrouded by an extremely powerful death Qi, how could he still have the courage to resort to use the giant green w in his hands? At this time there was only one thought in his mind, he really should not have provoked them, he kicked something that should not be kicked. If he knew that this Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng was really so frightening, then at most he would have only snatched the Essence Raising Fruit. I am.... The man surnamed Qu rushed to speak out his origins. Not to mention that at this point Ning Cheng would not let him off even if he did not mention from where he came from, but even if he really mentioned his origin, Ning Cheng had already made up his mind to kill him. Not letting the other party say his background, it would also be somewhat less troublesome, and as such Ning Cheng would also certainly not give up. The formidable Axe Fist that was filled with his Killing Intent directly bombed onto that man surnamed Qu. Not even waiting for that man surnamed Qu to even finish what he was saying, Ning Chengs Axe Fist already sted past the body of that man surnamed Qu. Poof.... That man surnamed Qu did not even have the capability to even resist it for a single moment, before he turned into a bloody fog. He was directly killed by just a single punch form Ning Chengs Axe Fist. After Ning Cheng killed that man surnamed Qu with just a single punch, he simply calmly walked over, and picked up his Storage Bag. All the bystanders werepletely frozen at this point of time. Even some of the Essence Building Cultivators did not believe what had happened as they all looked at Ning Cheng. They all could vaguely feel that Ning Cheng was also an Essence Building Cultivator, but certainly did not have the cultivation of Intermediate Stage or Late Stage Essence Building Realm, that is to say that Ning Cheng was most likely only at Essence Building 1st Level. For an Essence Building 1st Level Cultivator to kill a True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator was indeed very simple. However, Ning Chengs way was simply too easy. Moreover, that Axe Fist that Ning Cheng threw out was even more shocking and amazing. The few people from the Hua Continent were also staring stupidly at Ning Cheng, they already knew that Ning Cheng was definitely powerful, so for them to see Ning Cheng killing that man surnamed Qu, was definitely not surprising. However, what really was surprising to them was that Ning Cheng had easily killed off that man surnamed Qu, it was obvious that his cultivation had once again advanced by leaps and bounds. The True Internal Organs Pill was really an excellent healing pill, and as such Cang Shuo was able to stand up by now, he took the Storage Bag handed to him by Ning Cheng, as he worriedly spoke, Thank you Senior Apprentice Brother for avenging me, but I think we ended up in big trouble.... As Ning Cheng and Cang Shuo talked to each other, that Yong Gu Yun quietly pulled over Yue Ying. As she eagerly spoke, Yue Ying. How are you in the same ce as that man surnamed Ning? Dont you know who he is? He was together with that Su Zhu in the same ce, moreover do you even know how many good girls from good families that he had defiled, do you even know who he just killed? That person was a disciple from the Le Continents Red Heaven 7 Star Academy, quickly go and stand beside Senior Sister Apprentice Meng Yu Jing over there, these are matter you dont want to be involved in. Yue Ying looked at Yong Gu Yun in a puzzled manner and asked, Senior Sister Apprentice Gu Yun, why are you standing independently from the others? Yong Gu Yun looked at the short man beside her, as her face blushed. She grabbed Yue Ying and spoke in a somewhat coy manner, This is Celestial Globe 7 Star Academys Senior Apprentice Brother Lao Sheng, Senior Apprentice Brother Lao, she was the one I was talking about before. After exiting from this ce, I will be joining the Celestial Globe 7 Star Academy. After you also join the Celestial Globe 7 Star Academy, we can be his fellow Junior Apprentice Sisters...... With that, Yong Gu Yun looked shyly at the short man beside her and said, Senior Apprentice Brother Lao, she was the one that I told you about before, she is Junior Sister Apprentice Yue Ying, she will be joining the Celestial Globe 7 Star Academy, this Junior Sister Apprentice has a Pure White Wind Type Spiritual Root.... A Pure White Wind Type Spiritual Root? The Essence Building Cultivator called Lao Shengs eyes immediately lit up, as he sped his fists towards Yue Ying and spoke, Since Junior Sister Apprentice Ying ising you my Celestial Globe Academy, then surely she would be a core disciple,ter maybe we can exchange some pointers. Thank you Senior Apprentice Brother Lao. Yue Ying also returned the greetings in the same way. Lao Sheng and Yong Gu Yun could not help but burst into a huge smile as he spoke to her, Junior Sister Apprentice Gu Yun, it seems that Junior Sister Apprentice Yue Ying has sessfully advanced to the True Condensation Realm, I guess that you will have to call her as Senior Sister Apprentice Yue Ying from now on. Ah.... Yong Gu Yun looked at Yue Ying in shock, she was very clear on this fact when she entered the Angry Axe Valley, that Yue Ying was only at Qi Gathering 6th Level, how could she advanced so quickly to the True Condensation Realm? This was simply not possible. Even if she stayed in the Falling Star Academy and cultivated, it still wouldnt be possible for her to advance this fast to the True Condensation Realm. Yue Ying smiled and said, Thats true, I really have broken through to the True Condensation Realm. And at present I am going over to Senior Apprentice Brother Ning over there, we can chat again in the future. Yong Gu Yun immediately reacted, as she hastily cried out, Yue Ying, how could you go over to Ning Cheng. Do you not know what kind of person he is? Besides if you go there now, you would only be courting death. The Essence Building Cultivators from the Red Heaven Academy would definitely not let go of Ning Cheng, even if Ning Cheng is powerful, how can he fight against an Essence Building Cultivator? With your qualifications, plus with how much Senior Kang values you,ter when youe to Celestial Globe Academy, you would certainly have arger scope for development. We are all from the Ping Continent, we should be helping each other out. Thats right, Senior Sister Apprentice Gu Yun, why are you not together with Senior Apprentice Sister Meng and the others? Yue Ying suddenly asked an irrelevant thing. Ying Gu Yuns expression was a bit tender as she spoke, I may not go back to the Hua Continent, being together with Senior Apprentice Brother Lao would be more convenient. Yue Ying nodded, in her heart she had alreadye to understand something. She already knew that she would certainly not be joining the Celestial Globe Academy, even if that Senior Kang valued her greatly. Yong Gu Yun would certainly not say those words to her, and instead asked her to not end her life together with Ning Cheng. What Gu Yun said is right, if you truly go back now, it would really be the end of the road for you. That Ning Cheng had killed a disciple of the Red Heaven Academy; he has no way out. Moreover, you have already sessfully advanced to the True Condensation Realm, and being together with us, it is possible that you can even enter the Celestial Globe Academy. Lao Sheng spoke up as he hastily supplemented those words with a smile. Yue Ying also smiled and spoke, Thank you for your concerns, but Big Brother Ning has helped me a lot. I think that it would be much better for me to be with him. Besides, I have not yet joined the Celestial Globe Academy. Even if I have to separate from Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I will still go together with Senior Sister Apprentice Meng. Looking at the back of Yue Ying as she left, Lao Sheng suddenly spoke, This Junior Sister Apprentice Yue Ying that you spoke of really seems to be picky, it seems she had even given you some advice. Yong Gu Yun bitterly stared at Ning Cheng, That man named Ning really has a way with women, initially there was a girl named An Yi, if not for being scouted out early on by Junior Sister Apprentice Lu Xue, I guess that Yue Ying would have been like her, yed with in the palm of his hands. I guess it really turned out that way. I hate this kind of guy who likes to y with women, fortunately there is no next time for him, if there was a next time, then with my hands, I will definitely show him. Lao Sheng sneered and said. Yong Gu Yun looked at Lao Sheng and whispered in a soft voice, Actually, I really appreciate such a temperament of Senior Apprentice Brother Lao. That Ning Cheng only depends on his spear technique, to bluff and bluster in front of the True Condensation Cultivators. ...... You dare to kill a disciple from my Red Heaven Academy? An angry voice sounded out from a distance, then a figure dressed in brown robed dropped down in front of Ning Cheng. Was Brother Qu killed by you? You filthy animal...... The figure that dropped down in front of Ning Cheng also held flying sword in his hands, as he immediately spoke out while simultaneously brandishing his flying sword. He simply did not even wait for Ning Cheng to answer. Ning Cheng saw that this cultivator was also at True Condensation 9th Level but was actually much stronger than the cultivator surnamed Qu from before, as he came towards Ning Cheng. Even if the opponent was a dozen times more powerful than the one in front of him, they would simply be akin to sending vegetables to be cut. Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, he is Shang Mou Gao. Senior Apprentice Sister Jing Xius arm was almost split apart from her body by him, moreover the injury on Senior Apprentice Sister Jing Xius lower abdomen was also his doing, the Sword Light from his Flying Sword is very powerful. Ruimu Danqin was afraid that Ning Cheng would suffer a loss, so she hurried up and reminded Ning Cheng at the same time. Ning Cheng simply smiled, Even if his stuff was more powerful, it is only so so. Seeing how he like to arrogantly bully others, it is our moral responsibility and duty to teach him what bullying is all about. Saying that he once again did not move from his spot, he just lifted his hand and sent out three consecutive punches. These three punches were not even Axe Fists that he had used to kill that cultivator surnamed Qu, even without the Killing Intent in his Axe Fist, truthfully speaking it really was an overkill to use it on him. These three punches were three simple ordinary punches, moreover these three punches were not even very consistent, and were slow and easy to escape from. Seeing that Ning Cheng did not even bring out his artefact, that Shang Mou Gao could only grind his teeth in anger. He wanted Ning Cheng to know the fearfulness of his Sword Light, he wanted to grind Ning Cheng to the ground, such that even if he wanted to die he wouldnt be able to. He wanted to let Ning Cheng watch helplessly, as he, Shang Mou Gao, slowly killed the three people behind him. But Shang Mou Gao soon felt that something was wrong, he had sent out 6 of his strange Sword Lights, these Sword Lights would lock the surroundings with its Imposing Manner, with Ning Cheng shackled, even extending out his Spiritual Sense would be extremely difficult. But after he casted out his Sword Lights, the six strange Sword Lights had still not yet taken form, when a strong and powerful True Essence fist collided with it. Cha Cha.... The six Sword Lights sent out tearing like sounds in the air, not to mention about forming the Imposing Manner of the Sword Lights, even taking a shape was proving to be difficult. His weird Sword Light had not been formed yet, when Ning Chengs fist crushed them with a huge explosion, turning them into nothingness. The famous strange Sword Light that Shang Mou Gao depended on to be famous, was nothing more than a joke under Ning Chengs fist. Youre not True Condensation.... Shang Mou Gao could notpletely finish his sentence, when he felt Ning Chengs second fist arriving towards him. This time Shang Mou Gao waspletely frightened out of his wits, although he was fierce, he knew that he could not afford to be arrogant in front of an Essence Building Cultivator. He wanted to beg for mercy very much, but Ning Chengs second fistpletely trapped him, he could not even breathe without giving it his all, let alone trying to forcibly blow out air from his mouth to create a sound. If he could move, then this time he was even willing to get down on his knees to beg for mercy. As long as Ning Cheng would let him off, he would then be able to get the Essence Building Cultivators from the Red Heaven Academy to kill Ning Cheng off. However, he simply did not have any such opportunity now. As he waspletely sealed and suppressed where he stood, at the same time, a surge of a burning hot shadow of a fist once again rumbled towards him, Shang Mou Gao knew that he would never be able to escape this third fist. As Shang Mao Gao desperately looked at the oing third fist shadow, he simply could not help but think about how proud and arrogant he had been till now, he was an outstanding person in the Red Heaven Academy, but still would die in just under three punches. But at this moment he really was humbled down to his bone, so much so that he did not even have half a shred of strength to stick his back out. He finally came to understand what bullying really was. Chapter 0141 – Just Come Straight at Me Chapter 0141: Just Come Straight at Me Bang Just like a piece of leather being torn to pieces, Shang Mou Gaos True Essence Shield directly burst apart as flew back from the explosive force of the fist. When he finally fell to the ground, his shape was ever more miserable than that of the cultivator surnamed Qu, not to mention that he had also stopped breathing. The surrounding people instantly quieted down and the surroundings immediately became dead silent, it was the same scene as when Ning Cheng killed that cultivator surnamed Qu, it simply made the surrounding peoplepletely astonished. The two men, Shang Mou Gao and that other cultivator surnamed Qu, simply did not know how serious the consequences were to cross paths against Ning Cheng. At the same time, all the surrounding people knew that Ning Cheng definitely was not a True Condensation Cultivator, no kind of True Condensation Cultivator could kill Shang Mou Gao with just three punches. But only Ning Cheng knew, that even if he was not at the Essence Building Realm, if he really shot out at full power, then he might not even need three punches to kill that Shang Mao Gao. Shang Mou Gao was a core disciple of the Red Heaven 7 Star Academy, as such his cultivation was not only amazing but he even had a lot of potential, and as such he was a disciple that the Red Heaven Academy focussed on cultivating. But unexpectedly such a person was simply killed by Ning Chengs punches, how could the Red Heaven Academy tolerate such a thing? Not to mention the Red Heaven Academy, but even the Essence Building Realm Cultivators from the Red Heaven Academy inside the Angry Axe Valley would also not give up. Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, youre simply too great. Ruimu Danqin called out in excitement as she rushed up towards him. But other than Ruimu Danqin rushing towards him, all the cultivators from the Hua Continent remained silent. They were the same as the others, they never thought that Ning Cheng could easily kill Shang Mou Gao, moreover in such a rxed manner. Moreover, they did not expect that Ning Cheng would really go ahead and kill Shang Mou Gao. Ning Cheng had even killed that cultivator surnamed Qu, who came first. Who among them did not know who that cultivator surnamed Qu was, but now Ning Cheng even went ahead and killed Shang Mou Gao. Simrly, although that cultivator surnamed Qu was also from the Red Heaven Academy. However, his status whenpared to that of Shang Gou Mao, differed too greatly. At this moment, there was a bit of bitterness in Situ Yus heart, he had given up in the third round against Ning Cheng in the Mo Ze Grand za, as at that time he had thought that there was not much difference between him and Ning Cheng. But now, he found that if he had to face the same three simple punches from Ning Cheng, then he would also be unable to escape like those before. Ning Cheng, whenpared to the time in the Mo Ze Grand za, was several times much more powerful than before. Senior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, Senior Apprentice Brother Cang, Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng helped us take revenge, and even killed the two bad guys, shouldnt you be celebrating and be in a happy mood? Ruimu Danqin soon felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, as she quickly asked. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I am sorry, this matter had nothing to do with you, but still you got involved in it. Cang Shuo was very restless as he spoke to Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng had already nned to kill that cultivator surnamed Qu. Otherwise he would not have also killed that Shang Mou Gao. For him, not killing that cultivator surnamed Qu was fundamentally unrealistic, if people came to kill him, so for him to hold himself back, it was not something in this mans nature. With regard to Shang Mou Gao, it was also the same. Not killing Shang Mou Gao. But rather needing to exin to him that he didnt know that the person surnamed Qu was from the 7 Star Academy. Then being insulted by everyone and finally being pursued by others. Rather than doing so, he might as well kill them in a satisfying way now. If there were any Essence Building Cultivators from the Red Heaven Academy left in the Angry Axe Valley looking for payback, then he would simrly get rid of them. In this ce the one who had respect was the one with strength. Saying the truth to others, might as well gather up his own face and let the other person beat him up. Besides at this moment they were in the Angry Axe Valley. As such this news had no way of leaking out at this moment. For the cultivators from the Red Heaven Academy in the Angry Axe Valley, Ning Cheng really did not care much about them. The only thing that he cared about was, as long as he was in the Angry Axe Valley, was to first try and think of a way to return to the Hua Continent, and then take Ji Luo Fei away, He did not believe that they woulde from the Jia Continent to the Hua Continent, and moreover he also would not consider going back. Dont worry, this has nothing to do with you. I am the one who killed these people, moreover you are just a victim, if the Red Heaven Academy dares to deal with the God Wind Academy, then in the future when my cultivation is higher, I will definitely seek them out. Ning Cheng patted Cang Shuos shoulders and said. He believed that the Red Heaven Academy would not do such a thing, even if he offended every single person of the Red Heaven Academy, for the Red Heaven Academy to go too far as to exterminate other Academies, it would simply be too unreasonable. Good friend, you opened this Dong Guo Xiaos eye with your skill. This was the bearded man that Ning Cheng had exchanged the Mysterious Frost Zoysia with, but this time his smile and manner was many more times enthusiastic than before. Looking at Ning Chengs True Essence fluctuations, his cultivation was not obvious before, plus he was also not much older that Ruimu Danqin who called him as Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, so before he really had not put him in his eyes. In his view, even if Ning Cheng defeated that man surnamed Qu, he estimated that he would fall at Shang Mou Gaos hands. But now that Ning Cheng had killed that man surnamed Qu and Shang Mou Gao, he simply did not need to observe Ning Cheng with his Spiritual Consciousness, to know that Ning Cheng was an Essence Building Cultivator. Ning Cheng knew why Dong Guo Xiao hade for, so he simply smiled and spoke, If my friend Dong Guo wants to exchange the Mysterious Frost Zoysia, then even of you offered me an enormous amount of money, I would not part with it as the Mysterious Frost Zoysia is of a great use to me. Dong Guo Xiao was indeed there to exchange the Mysterious Frost Zoysia, he had never expected that Ning Cheng would not only kill that man named Qu but also kill Shang Mou Gao as if they were made of tofu. Feeling that Ning Cheng did not mean the words he had spoken just now, so he gave an awkward smile and spoke, Friend please state your price, as long as it is within the scope of something that I can bear, I will definitely agree to it. Ning Cheng revealed an apologetic look and said, Sorry, I really do not want to sell my Mysterious Frost Zoysia. You will not have the opportunity to sell them. The next instance, a freezing cold sentence interrupted Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng had already seen this person, it was a woman with phoenix like eyes, she was an Early Stage Essence Building 3rd Level Cultivator, there was a long eye browed male cultivator beside her, and judging by the True Essence fluctuations, he could tell that he was at Late Stage Essence Building 7th Level. Dong Guo Xiao knew that these Essence Building Cultivators were from the Red Heaven Academy, as he quickly moved to one side. He was a Pill Master, under normal circumstances he rarely offended others, and as such very few people offended him. Cang Shuo came behind Ning Cheng and whispered in a small voice, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, they should be the Essence Building Cultivators from the Red Heaven Academy, these Essence Building Cultivators were looting the Spiritual Grasses on the other side all alone. I think that they know that people from their Academy were killed....... Cang Shuo did not finish speaking, when the female cultivator raised her hand and shot out a blue light. Cang Shuo felt his whole body turn cold, he did not even have the time to respond, when he saw that Ning Cheng had already taken out his Golden Great Axe, the blue light beam was blocked by the Golden Great Axe, as it gave out an ear piercing explosion, as the True Essence from the lightpletely scattered. You stay back; I have to deal with these two people. Ning Cheng spoke to Cang Shuo, he knew that he would have to face an Essence Building Cultivator, Cang Shuo by himself would not be able to provide any help, moreover let alone Cang Shuo, even Meng Jing Xiu was also seriously injured. It is no wonder that that you were able to kill Young Master Shang, it was because you relied on your fantastic cultivation of Essence Building Realm. The male cultivator with long eyebrows spoke in a sarcastic tone. He was observing Ning Chengs cultivation, because Ning Cheng cultivated using the Mysterious Yellow Formless, his cultivation spill over was not obvious. If he had the cultivation of Profound Congealing Real then he naturally would be able to see that his Essence Building Cultivation could not even be remotelypared with Ning Chengs Essence Building Cultivation, moreover even trying to observe Ning Cheng with his Spiritual Consciousness would also need some time. Originally, he had estimated Ning Cheng to be at Essence Building Realm, but now he saw Ning Cheng in action once more, he immediately could see that Ning Chengs use of Essence Building Realms True Essence was not very skilled, it seemed that he had only entered the Essence Building Realm only a short while ago. Although he was ridiculing Ning Cheng with his mouth, but in his heart he was secretly surprised. He was just a cultivator who entered the Essence Building Realm, but he still had to carefully observe him for a while to even take a glimpse at his cultivation, once he consolidated his cultivation, wouldnt it be more or less at the level of Intermediate Stage Essence Building Realm. He found that it was not possible for him to observe the other persons cultivation properly at all. This time Ning Cheng did not take the initiative, he simply stood there as he stared at the male cultivator with long eyebrows. As for that woman with phoenix like eyes, who was at Early Stage Essence Building Realm, Ning Cheng directly went ahead and ignored her. That male cultivator with long eyebrows was not like that woman cultivator, rather than rushing up and start fighting, he sped his fist as he made half a turn towards the surrounding people and spoke, I am Wu Zhen from the Red Heaven 7 Star Academy, my Red Heaven Academys disciples, although they are strong but they never bullied the weak. This person depended on his cultivation of his Essence Building Realm and killed my Red Heaven Academys core disciples, I, Wu Zhen, must take revenge. I think that this is definitely a good reason to begin, as this notion is reasonable even at the end of the world. Hearing this long eye browed male cultivator called Wu Zhen speak, his words immediately echoed out with the surrounding people. But he did not expect that, even after he spoke those words there was unexpectedly an awkward silence, as nobody echoed back his words. The people around were not fools, even though the 7 Star Academy was great, but at this moment they were all trapped in the Angry Axe Valley. Moreover, that Ning Chengs moves were also formidable, in such circumstances where the results were not known, who would even want to offend those people at this time? As the silence echoed all around, most of them lost the chance to win the favour from the Red Heaven Academy. Once if out of a million possibilities, if the end result was that Wu Zhen ended up losing, then they would have probably offended Ning Cheng. Beside, this incident was clear to everybody, as for Wu Zhens reason, it was simply a joke. Ning Cheng calmly spoke to Ruimu Danqin who was behind him, Junior Apprentice Sister Danqin, what do you think of this reasoning, is it better to listen to a person who is strong and likes to bully weak or not. Although Ruimu Danqin almost had no experience, but her way of talking was very clever. In just a short and few words, she clearly understood the causes and consequences of things, and finally said, If you do not believe, then you can ask the people here. If not for Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Chenging early, then not only the thing that we three had would be snatched away by your Red Heaven Academys people, but we would have also ended up dead by their hands. Wu Zhens face was at this moment difficult to look at, he would have meant the words he had spoken, but when those words echoed in the surroundings, he hoped that immediately someone woulde out and kill Ning Cheng. With regards to who did the deed, he did not care, he reasoned that since he was a person from the Red Heaven Academy, so even if his words did not make sense, there would be someone who would have like to obtain a favour from him. But he had not imagined, that there really would not be anyone who woulde forward. This was because somebody else had already spoke the real reason, the reason was that it was the disciples from the Red Heaven Academy who acted as the strong bullying the weak. These words, he simply pped his face with it. That female cultivator with phoenix like eyes frowned, as she gave a cold snort, Wu Zhen knew that hispanion liked to fight immediately, but at this time it really was not a very good moment to start fighting. She stared and spoke with a deep voice, We will investigate this matter thoroughly, you killed my Red Heaven Academys disciples is a fact, moreover relying on a single persons words for it, I find it impossible to believe. Beside, my Red Heaven Academy is a 7 Star Academy, even if you had some misunderstandings with our disciples, your Essence Building Cultivator cannot kill my Academys disciples, you can definitely tell me...... Ning Cheng said with a sneer, I have never heard of the man surnamed Qu being a disciple from the Red Heaven Academy, if you want to begin then begin, dont seek out a dog shit of an excuse. Juste straight at me, Ill take everything you can throw at me anytime. Chapter 0142 – Fighting One Against Two Chapter 0142: Fighting One Against Two At this moment, Wu Zhen was in extreme regret, he knew that once he started then he would be a killing devil, but now at least he could still kill the four people including the ones behind Ning Cheng. However, by doing it this way, the Red Heaven Academy would really earn the reputation of strong bullying the weak. Of course, he also did not know that Ning Cheng waspletely not afraid of him. Whats there to argue about with this kind of trash. Pay your life for taking a life, pay money for your debt, these are the rules of this world, yet he still dares to reason with me...... That woman cultivator who came with that Wu Zhen simply did not have the same level of patience as him, as she stopped him from continuing his ramblings. She finally became impatient from seeing Ning Cheng actually trying to make up a valid excuse. As she spoke till here, she immediately took out a Thousand Forms Wheel in her hand and immediately sent innumerable Wheel Shadows flying towards Ning Cheng. As these savage Wheel Shadows rumbled towards Ning, these Wheel Shadows quickly took control of the space all around, as they started to emit colourful Wheel Lights which descended while giving out howling like noises. But Ning Cheng still stood at the same exact ce. But just as their Imposing Manner crashed onto Ning Cheng, immediately those innumerable colourful Wheel Lights scattered all around. Although Ning Cheng was under Wheel Lights Imposing Manner, only the sleeves of his clothes were making rustling noises, as if they were experiencing turbulent winds, but he still did not move, nor did he even resort to the Golden Great Axe in his hands. Wu Zhen had still not thought of a good reason to try and kill Ning Cheng, but now that hispanion had used the reason of paying ones life for the person he killed, it was something that hit close to his heart, but then he saw that Ning Cheng did not even move, and as a result he actually hesitated to act. He believed that Ren Wan Yu could definitely kill Ning Cheng, as even if he, who was a Late Stage Essence Building Cultivator, was in Ning Chengs ce, he would still not dare to face these savage Wheel Lights that were shot at him. Just at this time, Ning Cheng finally moved, Ning Cheng did not resort to the Golden Great Axe, but rather in just a twinkling put the Golden Great Axe back on his back, while simultaneously sting out with a spear. After Ning Cheng had acquired this Golden Great Axe, this was the first time that he resorted to his broken spear. He had already seen that this Thousand Transforming Wheel in this woman cultivators hand was definitely not an ordinary Artefact, but rather a Spiritual Grade Artefact. Although his Golden Giant Axe was an ordinary Artefact, however in Ning Chengs hand it was used very conveniently. But Ning Cheng believed that his Ice Spear Shadows could definitely deal with these kinds of savage Wheel Lights. Moreover, it would be far more effective. If that Wu Zhen dared to make a move, then he would still have his Golden Great Axe waiting for him. This time Ning Cheng did not need to hold back the freezing cold inside his Ice Spear Shadows, his True Essence and Spiritual Consciousness were more than enough this time, and as such his Ice Spear Shadows erupted with their peak power. Ren Wan Yu was very confident in her Thousand Transforming Wheel, she was confident that even if her opponent was an Intermediate Stage Essence Building Realm Cultivator, they still would not be able to defend against her Thousand Transformation Wheel, even when they utilized all their power. If they were even a little inattentive, then they would be immediately swept away by the Wheel Lights from her Wheel Shadows. Once stuck by even one of the Wheel Lights from her Wheel Shadows, then even if they did not die, they would be at least seriously injured. When she resorted to her Thousand Transforming Wheel, she found that Ning Cheng did not immediately resort to a magic weapon, as such she immediately sneered at him in her heart. While at the same time, she immediately mustered up even more True Essence to pour into her light wheels. She wanted to turn Ning Cheng into a pile of ash right where he was standing. But at this time, she felt a freezing cold all around her, this kind of chill wasing through the Wheel Lights, moreover she could also feel them stagnating. Moreover, even she was impacted by such a freezing cold, so much so that even her True Essence was not circting as smoothly as before. Does this person unexpectedly possess a different Ice Spiritual Root? Ren Wan Yu was slightly surprised, as the Ice Spear Shadows immediately connected to form into an Ice Spear Network as they bombed out towards her. There were 30 ice cold bone piercing Spear Shadows, as they froze up the surrounding area for almost several feet in radius, moreover they were shot out by Ning Cheng at almost at the same time. As they collided with the Thousand Transforming Wheels colourful Wheel Shadows, they immediately exploded with a tremendous force at the point of impact. Boom With an overwhelming Imposing Manner, it tore through the attacks, and even therge solid rocks in the surrounding area, were turned to dust due to the explosion. Moreover, the explosionpletely covered the entire area around Ning Cheng and that woman cultivator as they stood there. As to the Spiritual Consciousness of the weaker people, they simply could not extend their Spiritual Consciousness into the tornado that emerged from the fight between the two people. Pa Pa Pa.... The Profound Ice Spear Shadows once again formed into a Spear Shadow Network that was much more substantial looking. But the coloured Wheel Lights were allpletely torn apart, as each of them sted open while emitting intermittent Pa Pa like noises. The strong pressure from the Spear Shadowspletely overwhelmed her, as Ren Wan Yus face immediately became pale. If she could not block this densework of the Profound Ice Spear Shadows, then she knew that even if she was not killed off by those Spear Shadows, she might still be frozen solid from the freezing cold emanating from them. It was only at this moment, that she realised that she was far from being an opponent of Ning Cheng. Wu Zhen had already noticed that once Ning Chengs Spear Network covered Ren Wan Yu, then Ren Wan Yu was certain to die. At this point he did not hesitate anymore, and without even waiting for even half a moment, immediately sent out a mythical Flying Fire Crow from his hands. Two dreadful streams of mes spat out from the crow as it flew, as it burst between the Profound Ice Spear Shadows and the lights from the coloured Wheel Shadows, taking the shape of a half moon. Some of the cultivators with a worse cultivation level quickly retreated back at once. With this kind of fearful temperature of the me, if even a slightest bit sshed onto their bodies then their bodies would only have a single fate and that was of being consumed by that me. As for the cultivators who were standing on the side of Ning Cheng, they were really worried about Ning Cheng, they did not know how Ning Cheng would deal against this type of mes from the flying crow. Because of these iparably burning hot mes, Ning Chengs Profound Ice Spears seemed to be somewhat slightly weaker. As a result, Ren Wan Yu slightly rxed, but just as she tried to withdraw her Thousand Transforming Wheel and then fight side by side with Wu Zhen against Ning Cheng, she felt that her entire body was being encroached upon by the bone piercingly cold Killing Intent. This coldness was not something that was felt from inside ones body, but rather this was a cold that emerged from the depths of her soul. Together with a Golden Great Axe Trace, it was as if it was birthed from the vacuum,ing out of the void. It was almost as if she could feel an Axe Shadow descending onto the centre of her consciousness, as this Axe Shadow even attempted to pierce through to her mind. This Axe Trace cut all the surrounding True Essence and the magical weapons light with its Imposing Manner, as it crashed through towards her. That Thousand Transforming Wheels Wheel Shadows were directly split apart by the Golden Great Axe Shadow, as it immediately dimmed in just a twinkling of an eye. The Flying Fire Crow, that was spitting out the two streams of the terrible hot mes, was also split directly into two halves by the Golden Great Axe Shadow. As for the me, that was half surrounding Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng could perceive that the Star River in his Zifu had started to move, as an invisible suction force swept out and gathered all the mes. In just an instant, the mes split apart by the Axe Trace were directly sucked in by the Star River, and disappeared without a trace. Such a horrifying Axe Type Killing Intent...... Ren Wan Yu was retreating back crazily, she was already trying her best to resist the mountain like Killing Intent bearing down on her for so long, so when Ning Cheng brought out his Axe Type Killing Intent, she could immediately detect it. This feeling of being cleaved apart was simply too powerful for her, she knew that she couldnt even afford to even give birth to the idea of even trying to resist it for even half a moment. AAaaah...... Ren Wan Yu was already in a disadvantageous position with no power to resist at all. Ning Chengs [Angry Axe, the 1st Trace] had terrified her even more than she already was. But then the Golden Great Axe Shadow swept past her Dantian, killing her on the spot, with no signs of stopping at all. At this moment Ning Cheng was actually a little relieved, evidently a Spiritual Grade Artefact also depended on the person who used them, as a result not all the people who held a Spiritual Grade Artefact were a threat to him. At this time Wu Zhen could not even attend to Ren Wan Yu, when Ning Chengs Axe Shadow descended as it went through her, he could also feel the formidable Axe Type Killing Intent that apanied with it, he could immediately feel that it was really something bad for him. This was the Heaven and Earth Exotic me that he had refined previously, it was absolutely impossible for it to miss its target for no reason at all. But in front of the powerful this Golden Great Axe Type Killing Intent, Wu Zhen simply did not have enough time before it was torn to shreds, this was even when he hadpletely agitated the Flying Fire Crow. Kacha...... The [Angry Axe, the 1st Trace] filled with an iparably powerful Killing Intent tore through the Flying Fire Crow as it shot towards Wu Zhen. Even the True Essence contained in it exploded out with a huge explosive power, immediately forming huge craters where ever it exploded, this time the explosion was even more powerful than before. Because of the powerful True Essence explosion and the Axe Type Killing Intent, it made Wu Zhen fly out tumbling upside down. Peng Wu Zhen, who was knocked back flying upside down, crashed into a True Condensation Cultivator who stood at a very distant ce. However, although Ning Chengs 1st Trace was more than enough to y Ren Wan Yu, but it was only enough to injure Wu Zhen. Wu Zhen, who was sent tumbling upside down, finally managed to stabilize himself, as he once more arrived in front of Ning Cheng, with his eyes spouting mes of anger, he immediately shouted, You actually dare to kill an Essence Building Cultivator of my Red Heaven Academy...... During his talk, Wu Zhens boundless Killing Intent erupted in a twinkling of an eye, as the surrounded gravel disintegrated into dust by the eruption of his True Essence and was carried away by the air. At this time, before this wave hit him, this Wu Zhen was still talking crap. Ning Cheng was simply disinclined to even speak out half a character, as he once again used the Golden Great Axe to split the air as he chopped downwards with it, bringing together an Axe Shadow that was filled with an even more horrifying Killing Intent. Wu Zhen also once again rumbled out with his Flying Fire Crow simultaneously, but this time the Flying Fire Crow shot out four ming wires. The terrifying hot temperatures from the mes immediately brought out Chi Chi like noises in the surrounding air, but when these four fire wires and Ning Chengs Golden Axe Shadow collided with each other, he found that the Killing Intent contained in the Axe Shadow was somewhat weaker than his own. But at this time the Star River in Ning Chengs Zifu once again acted up, as just at the time when the four fire wires came into contact with the Killing Intent in the Axe Shadow, it waspletely sucked away by the Star River. Wu Zhen was not a fool, he knew that his Magic Weapon happened to bepletely suppressed by Ning Cheng, plusbined with Ning Chengs fearful Axe Type Killing Intent, at this point of time he was absolutely clear, that even if he went all out he would absolutely not be a match against Ning Cheng. He could only walk away first. Wu Zhen was a very decisive person, once he decided that he had to flee. He did not even wait to take back his Flying Fire Crow. His figure immediately started to fade away immediately, it seemed that he was going to use his escape technique. But it was at this time, that the Golden Great Axe Traces Killing Intent already descended on him. Wu Zhens fading body once again became clear under this fearful Killing Intent of the Axe Shadow, he knew that he would be unable to restart his escape technique, the only option for him was to either give it his all to block this Axe Shadow that was filled with the Axe Type Killing Intent, or somehow evade it, and once again start his escape technique. I am a person from the Red Heaven 7 Star Academy, if you try to kill me again, my Red Heaven Academy will certainly not let you go, if you are willing to stop in light of this, then I can write this matter off in front of everybody...... At this time, just where would Wu Zhen be able to think about his face, while he eagerly begged for mercy in its disguise, as he tried to think of a way to escape Ning Chengs Axe Type Killing Intent. To him, at present, all he wanted to do was to escape from this ce as soon as possible. If he had a head to head fight with Ning Cheng wholeheartedly, then he knew that he would only be able to support himself for a short while. So to deal with Ning Cheng, Wu Zhen used the threat behind the words Red Heaven Academy. Not to mention that Ning Cheng had now already killed three disciples of the Red Heaven Academy, even if he had not begun, at this time he would not let off Wu Zhen. Just after Wu Zhen finished speaking those words, he immediately felt Ning Chengs Great Axes Killing Intent slow down, he immediately became overjoyed that his strategy seeded, as he crazily stirred up his True Essence. But his happiness soon turned into despair, although the Axes Killing Intent stagnated for a moment but it did not dissipate, instead it turned into a giant tornado. This trace of Axe Type Killing Intentpletely turned into a tornado of Killing Intent, as it swept up all around him. With him in the middle of this tornado, the Killing Intent permeated into his marrow, keeping Wu Zheng from trying to run away again, he couldnt even force himself to resort to his Flying Fire Crow again. Aaaah urgh ...... After that sound, Wu Zhen no longer uttered even the slightest sound. Chapter 0143 – The Different Pure White Wind Spiritual Root Chapter 0143: The Different Pure White Wind Spiritual Root Such a strong Killing Intent, moreover it seems that this Killing Intent is somewhat simr to the Killing Intent surrounding these Spiritual Grass Hills...... It truly is the same, this is the Angry Axe Valleys Killing Intent, that man even uses a Golden Great Axe that actuallyplements it. Is it possible that heprehended this Axe Type Killing Intent in the true Angry Axe Valley? It really is very strong...... Some of the people in the surroundings that were looking for Spiritual Grasses around this piece of hill, already could feel that Ning Chengs Axe Type Killing Intent was extremely formidable. Under such a powerful and formidable Axe Type Killing Intent, Ning Cheng continuously killed four disciples of the Red Heaven Academy, but at this moment it was already an irrelevant thing. Every time the Angry Axe Valley opened, there were many people who entered, but the amount of people who could reallyprehend the Axe Intent were actually extremely few. Each of the people who managed toprehend even a bit the Axe Intent here, as long as they did not die, they would eventually have a very bright future ahead of them. Even Cang Shuo was pleasantly surprised by these turn of events, when Ning Cheng killed that Shang Mou Gao and that man surnamed Qu, it was not something strange to him, Ning Chengs fierceness was already something that he had seen before. But he had never thought that Ning Cheng would actually be able to kill the two Essence Building Cultivators from the Red Heaven Academy, if he had not seen it himself, he would have definitely not believed in such a result. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, have you already advanced to the Essence Building Realm? Cang Shuo now knew that Ning Cheng had definitely advanced to the Essence Building Realm without a doubt. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, it was because of you that I received one of the ces to enter the Angry Axe Valley, and now you even saved my life, thank you. Meng Jing Xiu came and spoke to Ning Cheng in a very grateful tone, but after she spoke, she hesitated for a moment and then added, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I have something else to take care of.... Ning Cheng raised his hand and stopped Meng Jing Xiu and spoke, I know, but I will still say the same thing again. Meng Jing Xiu had mentioned this to him in the Mo Ze Grand za, that she had to enter the Angry Axe Valley to investigate something, Ning Cheng had initially suspected as to what kind of secret she had in the Angry Axe Valley. Now that Meng Jing Xiu mentioned it again, it made him even more determined that what he had thought about was definitely right. However, this kind of thing, it would be better to keep it between the two individuals. Ha Ha Ha.... A burst ofughter was transmitted, as a tall mannded in front of Ning Cheng along with a few people. Around this tall and slim male cultivator, there were two men and a woman, in addition to this male cultivator who wasughing, there were altogether a total of four people. Ning Chengs expression was as usual, and did not seemed to care about this male cultivator. He simply went ahead and calmly picked up the Storage Bags and the Magic Weapons lying on the ground. Moreover, he looked extremely calm to the surrounding people, and did not speak, giving out a mysterious air to the surrounding people. This tall and slender male cultivator already had the cultivation of Essence Building 8th Level, and was giving off a very dangerous aura from his body, he concluded that he should be stronger than that Wu Zhen by many times. Behind him were three people, the shorter of the two male cultivators was at Essence Building 3rd Level, while the other two were at Essence Building 6th Level. Friend you have some good skill; I am Luan Hong from the Feng Continents Profound Moon 7 Star Academy. I want to invite you to join our team. Everybody can mutually borrow the strength amongst us, arent you also looking for Spiritual Grasses? Luan Hong was not only very handsome in appearance, but even his speech, when heard by others, was simr to being washed by a spring breeze. Ning Cheng frowned, Seek out the Spiritual Grasses together? He had seen many Spiritual Grass Hills here, moreover he even saw many people trying to deal with a single hill. It was apparent that the hills here were covered in some kind of restriction. However as to the specific circumstances, he was not clear. As when he arrived here, he had immediately ended up in a fight with the cultivators of the Red Heaven Academy, and only stopped fighting just a moment ago. When Luan Hong saw that Ning Cheng did not understand what he meant, he quickly tried to exin with the sentence, My team had a total of six people, including Wu Zhen and Ren Wan Yu before they fell. If you dont mind, you can join our team in their ce, moreover the Spiritual Grasses that we collect will also be equally distributed amongst us. Seeing Ning Cheng still did not understand, Cang Shuo once again spoke from the side, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, it is like this all over here. Here there are many Spiritual Grass Hills, but these hills seem to be surrounded by an Axe Type Killing Intent from the Angry Axe Valley. If one cannot use ones Imposing Manner to break through the Axe Type Killing Intent surrounding the hill, then there is no way for them to enter the hill and collect the Spiritual Grasses. If one used only brute force attacks, they would not be able to break theyer of Killing Intent surrounding the hills. Moreover, it would only make the surrounding Killing Intent even more powerful. Therefore, these seniors of the Essence Building Realm formed a team together to protect each others back from the Killing Intent surrounding the hills, once they broke through the Axe Type Killing Intent surrounding the hills, then they could enter and collect the Spiritual Grasses. The strength of the True Condensation Cultivators is slightly poorer than them, and as such only by swarming together, and superimposing their Imposing Manner can they break open the hills. As long as the Killing Intent surrounding the hill is broken open, everybody would immediately rush together to snatch the things, as such a person with a powerful strength would be able to snatch more things whenpared to others. Because Junior Apprentice Sister Danqin was following behind, she was able to pick up a fruit...... With the help of Cang Shuos exnation, Ning Cheng immediately came to understand that originally these Spiritual Grass Hills were covered in ayer of Axe Type Killing Intent. As to how to deal with the Axe Type Killing Intent, he already had some experience with it. Thank you, Brother Luan, for cing such importance to me, but I have no intention of teaming up with others. Ning Cheng cupped his fists and spoke. Luan Hong had some regrets, but he still did not lose heart and tried to persuade him once more, Friend, the Killing Intent here is not something that a single person would be able to fight against. Previously, there were several Essence Building Cultivators with even more powerful cultivation level than our own, but when these people tried to resist the Axe Type Killing Intent by themselves, the result was that they were directly killed by the counterattack from the Killing Intent, and did not even have the ability to resist it for even half a moment. Luan Hong had seen Ning Cheng fight, Ning Chengs Great Axe was able to bring out a formidable Axe Type Killing Intent, if Ning Cheng were to join them, then their sess probability to break through the Killing Intent surrounding the hills would definitely be increased at least by two times, if not by three. Moreover, this kind of result was definitely much better than Wu Zhen and Ren Wan Yubined. Ning Cheng still smiled politely and spoke, Thank you, but I still do not have any intention to team up, moreover I have a few Junior Apprentices with me, if I had to team up, then it would be alongside them. Luan Hong then looked at Cang Shuo and the others with some regret, and said, Such being the case, then lets forget it. Although Ning Cheng was quite good, but because Ning Cheng wanted to bring Cang Shuo and the others to team up with them, it was simply not something that he was willing to do. If a few individuals did not work, and even had to be allocated the Spiritual Grasses, how can there be such a good thing? Brother Ning, congrattions on sessfully entering the Essence Building Realm. Seeing Luan Hong leave, Situ Yu immediately came over to say hello with a smile on his face. Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, before when Senior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu and Senior Apprentice Brother Cang were seriously injured, only Senior Apprentice Brother Situ came over to help. He gave us two healing pills...... Ruimu Danqin was very grateful towards Situ Yu, now that Situ Yu came over, she quickly spoke in Ning Chengs ear. Situ Yu was embarrassed as he spoke, I really am ashamed, my strength is limited, and could only leave behind two healing pills, and then helplessly watch Senior Apprentice Brother Cang and Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu get bullied. Ning Cheng quickly said, Thank you, Brother Situ, with Brother Situs cultivation, already extending such a helping hand really shows your feeling towards us, this Ning Cheng has already noted it down. Ning Cheng was very clear about the situation here, he would not me the other people from the Hua Continent for not trying to help, because he knew that if they tried to interfere, then the only thing that they would receive would be death. Although Situ Yu came forward and gave them only two healing pills, it already showed the sentiments of extending a helping hand. Regardless of whatever the oue, at this time Ning Cheng looked full of power and prestige, which was more than enough to shock everyone here. Of the cultivators who came from the Hua Continent, other than Yong Gu Yun who found a backer for herself, the rest of the people did not have any kind of backing. So now they all wanted toe and say their greetings to Ning Cheng, while also looking towards him as their powerful backer. But thinking about how the disciples from the God Wind Academy were bullied again and again, while none of them even came to help, they simply did not have the face toe up. As to that short cultivator called Lao Sheng, who was standing alongside Yong Gu Yun, at this moment both their faces were really ugly to look at. He had thought that he could have easily killed Ning Cheng, but now he finally knew that Ning Cheng was the one who could easily kill him. He knew that he himself was not an opponent for Wu Zhen, but not only Ning Cheng easily killed Wu Zhen, but he even killed him while the two Essence Building Cultivators coborated to kill him. With such a cultivation, why would he even care about an Early Stage Essence Building Cultivator like him. As for Yong Gu Yun, she was staring at Ning Cheng in shock, she really had never thought even in her wildest imaginations that Ning Cheng would have already sessfully enter the Essence Building Realm. Does this guy really have a Hybrid Support Spiritual Root? Wasnt his cultivation speed simply too fearful? Others were not very intuitive about Ning Chengs cultivation, as the other people from the Hua Continent even thought that when Ning Cheng arrived at the Tournament in Mo Ze Grand za, he was already hiding his cultivation. But only she was very clear, Ning Cheng had never concealed his cultivation, not only did he not conceal his cultivation, but he also went from the cultivation level of Qi Gathering Realm to advancing to Essence Building Realm, moreover he had done this feat in just an extremely small amount of time, a measly two years. Yong Gu Yun obviously knew a lot on how to deal with people, so when she nced at Lao Shen, she immediately thought about the words that she had spoken before to Lao Sheng, and knew what was going on in Lao Shengs heart. She hurriedly tried tofort him in a loud voice, He only has a Hybrid Spiritual Root, but he must have obtained some good opportunities in the Angry Axe valley, and as such was able to rise to his present cultivation level. Once hees out of the Angry Axe Valley, didnt you say that he would be chased down by the Red Heaven Academy. Even if he was not chased down, with his intelligence and qualification, he simply would not be able to enter any Advanced Ranked Academies or Sects, so for him to advance any further, I think that it would be very difficult. Lao Sheng clearly knew that Yong Gu Yuns words were meant to please him, but hisplexion still eased a lot. He then nodded and spoke, Youre right, this kind of opportunity to cultivate would onlye once or twice in their life, one cannot always be apanied by good fortune. Thats right, that girl beside him, are you sure that she has a Pure White Wind Spiritual Root? Thats right, Yue Ying definitely has a Pure Wind Spiritual Root, but in the test for the Spiritual Root it was different and had a pure white colour....... Yong Gu Yun confirmed. A different Pure White Coloured Wind Spiritual Root? Lao Sheng was not Yong Gu Yun, as he almost cried out in shock. He knew that in the Ping Continent, as long as the Main Spiritual Root achieved a cloudy white colour, it could be called a Pure Spiritual Root. He had previously thought that Yue Yings Pure Wind Spiritual Root was also cloudy white in colour, at most it would only be slightly whiter in colour, he had never expected that it would really be a pure white in colour. Whose Spiritual Root is a Pure White Wind Spiritual Root? A cold voice resounded beside Yong Gu Yun and Lao Sheng. Immediately a girl wearing a purple robe with a veil on her face appeared in front of the two of them, she had the cultivation of True Condensation 9th Level, and had a middle aged male cultivator by her side. Lao Sheng only knew that this middle aged cultivator was stronger than him, but he was like the other people as he could not see at what level in the Essence Building Realm he was at. I am Lao Sheng of the Celestial Globe 7 Star Academy....... Lao Sheng had not finished, when the girl in purple robe wearing a veil on her face interrupted him, I asked you who is the one who has a different Pure White Wind Spiritual Root, I did not ask who you are. For a True Condensation 9th Level cultivator to speak to him like that, Lao Shen unexpectedly subconsciously shivered in fright, as he hurriedly spoke Her name is Yue Ying, she.... Yong Gu Yun immediately understood that the two people who appeared in front of them absolutely did not have anymon background, and quickly spoke, Junior Apprentice Sister Yue Ying and I are from the Hua Continent, and she indeed does have a different Pure White Wind Spiritual Root, she is over there.... Saying that, Yong Gu Yu pointed out with her hand towards Yue Ying who was still speaking with Ruimu Danqin. Chapter 0144 – Wu Nian Academy Chapter 0144: Wu Nian Academy Are you called Yue Ying, the one who has the different Pure White Wind Spiritual Root? The purple robed wearing woman with a veil on her face immediately came in front of Yue Ying and asked. Yue Ying and Ruimu Danqin were almost simr in age, although she was much more mature than Ruimu Danqin, but because they were of the simr ages, so they still had a lot of things to talk about, and at this time she was happily chirping away with Ruimu Danqin. But now a strange woman suddenly arrived in front of her and immediately enquired about her Spiritual Root, it immediately made her surprised. Although ones Spiritual Root was actually not something secret, but it still could not be casually mentioned to aplete stranger. Although this purple robe wearing woman and the middle aged male cultivator had arrived just a moment ago, Ning Cheng had already taken note of them long before, as initially he also saw the two of them during the time he was mining. Yue Yings age, whenpared to Ning Cheng, was only 2-3 years younger, but it looked like Yue Ying really was too small whenpared to Ning Chengs projected age. Since a few people were making inquiries, so of course he also came forward. Who the heck are you, to want to ask about Yue Yings Spiritual Root? Ning Cheng also spoke the samenguage, and spoke without any respect towards the purple robed woman who asked about Yue Ying. Ning Cheng was a person who came from Earth, so he was someone who firmly believed in mutual respect, since the opposite party did not respect them, then he also did not need to respect them. Only in the face of a person whose cultivation was far above him, would he politely refer to them as Senior, except for that there would not be any other exceptions. The opposite party consisted of just a True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator and a Late Stage Essence Building Realm Cultivator, how can he be looked down upon by them. Even if this Late Stage Essence Building Cultivator was not simple, Ning Cheng still did not care about him. Your Concealment Cultivation Method is good, I really did not realise if back when you were mining whether you had the cultivation of True Condensation 9th Level, or were already at Essence Building Realm. This purple robe wearing woman with a veil on her face spoke not because Ning Cheng was impolite in his words, but on the contrary was making a reference to Ning Chengs Cultivation Method. She absolutely did not believe that Ning Cheng, who half a year ago, was only at True Condensation 3rd Level, but now had already advanced to the Essence Building Realm. Although a person could theoretically cultivate quickly, but it was simply impossible to be this fast. Ning Cheng had indeed thought correctly. These two people were indeed at the ce he was mining at. He simply spoke in an outright manner, At that time when I was mining I was already at True Condensation 9th Level. At that time, in the Spirit Stone Mine, I was able to dig out two Best Quality Spirit Stones. Later, I used those two Best Quality Spirit Stones to sessfully break through to the Essence Building Realm. When she heard Ning Cheng say that he had been able to dig up two pieces of the Best Quality Spirit Stones at that time, the purple robe wearing woman with a veil on her face, had a trace of longing sh through her eyes. But when she heard that Ning Cheng used those Best Quality Spirit Stones to advance through to the Essence Building Realm, her eyes then immediately revealed a sh of irony, and spoke in a light voice, Advancing to the Essence Building Realm with the help of Best Quality Spirit Stones, moreover with two pieces, this is the first time I heard of it, it seems that you really are very rich. Ning Cheng did not care about the satirical way that this purple robed woman with a veil on her face spoke. He simply turned his head towards Cang Shuo and the few people with him and spoke, Lets go, lets go in front of a hill and see if we can make a small fortune or not. Wait wait, Yue Ying has still not answered my question. This purple robed woman immediately blocked the way of Ning Cheng and the others with him. Ning Cheng frowned, and spoke in an unhappy tone, Us few have nothing to do with you, nor have we ever seen you, why should we even tell you about our Spiritual Roots? Or do you think that you can just force someone to do something against their will? That middle aged male cultivator seeing Ning Cheng and the purple robed woman failing to reach an agreement, quickly stepped forward and cupped his fist and spoke, Please do not misunderstand my friend, we are people from the Wu Nian Academy of the Le Continent. We only came here, when we heard someone say that Yue Ying had a different Pure White Wind Spiritual Root, and just wanted to inquire about it, if Yue Ying really has a different Pure White Wind Spiritual Root, then my Wu Nian Academy would be extremely happy to let her join our Academy....... When he spoke those three characters Wu Nian Academy all the people suddenly turned silent, and the gaze that they used to look at the purple robed woman and the middle aged man immediately turned into a gaze filled with respect and worship. Some of people looked at Yue Ying with envy, as they very much hoped to immediately take Yue Yings ce instead of her. Ning Cheng and the people beside him, other than Cang Shuo, although they were all from the Hua Continent, but they were obviously country bumpkins, as such they had not even heard of this Wu Nian Academy. Cang Shuo knew that Ning Cheng and the others did not know about such a thing, so he immediately spoke in a low voice, I heard that the Wu Nian Academy is not only one of the threergest Academies in the Le Continent, but even in the entire Yi Xing Maind, they are ranked among the top three Academies. Even amongst those strong Sects and Academies that are asmon as the clouds in those Advanced ss Continents of the Yi Xing Maind, they still have a much higher status. However, I heard that requirements of the disciples that the Wu Nian Academy recruits are very harsh, without some certain qualifications they would certainly not ept them. But once taken in, the vast resources of the Academy would be instantly made avable to them. You are wrong, after joining the Wu Nian Academy, you will not be given all the resources, as all the resources would be used to cultivate the core disciples. As for the ordinary disciples, they need to struggle for themselves, even for obtaining resources to cultivate. The purple robed woman seemed to have heard Cang Shuos words, and immediately refuted his ims. Ning Cheng was actually moved in his heart, no wonder this purple robed woman was strung on a high horse, evidently she really had the qualifications and the backing to do so. If Yue Ying could join the Wu Nian Academy, then she would be simr to the floating clouds for that old man surnamed Kang. Yue Ying, you can truthfully give an answer to her. Ning Cheng looked at Yue Ying and said while nodding. When Yue Ying saw Ning Cheng nod, she then gave a normal customary greeting to the purple robed woman and said, Returning to Elder Sisters words, I do have a different Pure White Wind Spiritual Root. At this time the purple robed woman and the middle aged man finally understood that Ning Cheng was the head of this group. But when they heard Yue Ying confirm that she indeed had a different Pure White Wind Spiritual Root, their eyes immediately shed with excitement. This kind of different Pure White Wind Spiritual Root, the Wu Nian Academy really did not have any one. Are you willing to join my Wu Nian Academy? The purple robed woman had not even discussed this with the middle aged male cultivator beside her, as she anxiously looked at Yue Ying and asked. Then, as if she remembered that Ning Cheng was the person who called the shots around here, she then quickly spoke to Ning Cheng, My Wu Nian Academy is one of three strongest Academies in the Yi Xing Maind. With Yue Yings Spiritual Root Qualifications, only in the Wu Nian Academy can she obtain the greatest improvement. In Ning Chengs heart, he really hoped that Yue Ying joined the Wu Nian Academy, as he knew that the trouble following Yue Ying was not small at all, moreover at present he himself did not have the strength to resist against that cultivator surnamed Kang. Yue Ying also heard Cang Shuos words as he spoke them nearby to her about the introduction of the Wu Nian Academy, and in her heart she also very much wanted to join the Wu Nian Academy. However, she knew that Ning Cheng had also offended that cultivator surnamed Kang. Thinking till here, Yue Ying hastily spoke, Many thanks to Elder Sister to pay such attention to me, but Ning Cheng here is my Senior Apprentice Brother, I hope that he can also join the Wu Nian Academy....... At this time, she also remembered Cang Shuo and the others, and immediately supplemented, A few moments before, he also offended the Red Heaven Academy, therefore I would like to ask them to join together...... It was as if Yue Ying also wanted to give some hope to Cang Shuo and the others to join the Wu Nian Academy, so when the purple robed woman heard the meaning behind Yu Yings words, she suddenly frowned. She herself knew that the recruitment of disciples for the Wu Nian Academy was very strict, and not everyone could casually join, even if she herself rmended someone. Ning Cheng had used two Best Quality Spirit Stones to advance to the Essence Building Realm, so his Spiritual Root Qualifications seemed to be barely enough, but it was still a strange affair. The purple robed woman turned her head and nced at the eyes of the middle aged cultivator, then looked at Ruimu Danqin and the others and spoke, What are the Spiritual Roots of you people? Ruimu Danqin was the first to speak and said, I have a Pure White Fire Spiritual Root. A Pure White Fire Spiritual Root? Good, with you Spiritual Root you can definitely join my Wu Nian Academys Inner Court. The purple robed womans eyes once again shed with a sense of joy, if the rest of people present here had a Spiritual Root that was just as good, then she could still call in some favours to let them join the Wu Nian Academy together. In such a case, that Yue Ying would also surely be able to join the Wu Nian Academy without any worries. However, among these few people, to have such a good Spiritual Root, seemed to be very unlikely. At the very least, they should have a Spiritual Root simr to this Senior Apprentice Brother Ning of theirs, the one that called the shots among them. I have an Earth Type Main Spiritual Root that is cloudy white in colour, but it is also a Pure Spiritual Root. Cang Shuo also quickly added. The purple robed womans eyes revealed a trace of disappointment, but she immediately spoke, Only a Pure White Spiritual Root can be called a Pure Spiritual Root, even Ruimu Danqins White Fire Spiritual Root, from a moment ago, is still something that cannot be called a Pure White Spiritual Root. Cang Shuo spoke in a puzzling manner, But when I tested my Spiritual Root, it was the only Main Spiritual Root. The middle aged man showed a faint smile, That is Because the Spiritual Root Testing Artefacts in the Hua Continent contains some errors, as long as the Main Spiritual Root protrudes slightly, then the Support Spiritual Roots are not very obvious, so some of the Support Spiritual Roots would not be able to be tested out. It precisely because of this, that the people with the so called Pure Spiritual Roots in the Hua Continent are as numerous as the hairs on an ox. Cang Shuo looked at the happy expression on the corners of the mouth of the middle aged man, how could he not understand the meaning of the opposite partys words, as he immediately felt his face grow hot. He was a core disciple from the God Wind Academy, not because his father was the Dean, but because he truly did possess the qualification of having a Pure Spiritual Root. He had not thought that the Hua Continents Pure Spiritual Root, and the Pure Spiritual Roots of the Advanced ss Continents would have such a big difference between them. The purple robed woman spoke, Nevertheless, you are still eligible to join my Wu Nian Academys Outer Court, as to bing a disciple of the Inner Court, it would only depend on the diligence and hard work you can put in yourself. Even if it was being an Outer Disciple of the Wu Nian Academy, Cang Shuo was 100% willing to and was the happiest person in his heart, moreover he also understood most of what was to be understood of the Wu Nian Academy. However, at the moment Yue Ying has still not given her approval, so he also could not reveal his approval, and could only thank the opposite party. But he had already made up his mind, as long as he could join the Wu Nian Academy, then he could request Yue Ying to help him procure a Profound Secondary Rainbow Pill from the Wu Nian Academy. But then Meng Jing Xiu spoke in a somewhat depressed way, Although I have a Gold Spiritual Root as my Main Spiritual Root, it is also cloudy white in colour, but I also have a three-line Hybrid Spiritual Root...... The purple robed woman frowned and said, You have no way to be even qualified to join the Wu Nian Academys Outer Court as an Outer Court Disciple, but if you do not mind, I can arrange for you to do some chores in the shops in the Wu Nian Academy. Meng Jing Xiu had always been a proud and arrogant person, how could she ept to do odd jobs in the Wu Nian Academy? After returning a respectful salute, she said, Thank you, Senior Apprentice Sister for your deep affection, but I have already decided to just focus on my cultivation. Originally Meng Jing Xiu was going to return to the God Wind Academy, but now that she had experienced many strong people from different Sects and Academies in the Angry Axe Valley, as such she now did not have any intention to return to the God Wind Academy. The purple robed woman nodded, as she took out a Healing Pill and gave it to Meng Jing Xiu saying, This Healing Pill can restore your injured arm to its previous healthy state in the shortest amount of time, moreover it also would absolutely not affect your future cultivation. But after hearing that, the few people surrounding Meng Jing Xiu were also somewhat worried about Meng Jing Xiu, although she would be doing odd jobs in the shops of the Wu Nian Academy, she would still be able to learn the average fighting skills and cultivation methods of the Wu Nian Academy, while also making at least a few allies, and still would be able to increase her cultivation my countless times. But this stupid idiotic woman, unexpectedly refused such an offer. Ming Jing Xiu quickly took the Healing Pill, and thanked her once again. In the face of such a good thing, she would not reject it. Once rejected, it was simr to ying a joke on her own small life. But at this moment Ning Chengs heart had some doubts, Meng Jing Xiu also had Hybrid Spiritual Roots, so how could she see some of the changes in that leather like parchment? Even if she only saw two changes, after all, it was still a change. ording to his previous idea, having a Hybrid Spiritual Root, one would not be able to see even a single change in that leather like parchment. How about you? The purple robed women interrupted Ning Chengs thoughts and asked. ......... TL Note C Truthfully its kind of ironic to name an Academy as Wu Nian Academy as the characters that make up the name, when tranted to their English equivalent, bes Studyless Academy Chapter 0145 – Detonation of the Axe Intent Chapter 0145: Detonation of the Axe Intent Ning Cheng cupped his fists and spoke, I have a Multi-Line Hybrid Spiritual Root, I do not want to go to the Wu Nian Academy, nor do I want to go work in any shops. Big Brother Ning...... When Yue Ying heard that Ning Cheng did not want to go to the Wu Nian Academy, she immediately became anxious in her heart, and called out. Ning Cheng hinted to Yue Ying to not to worry, and spoke in a gentle manner, Yue Ying, for you to go to the Wu Nian Academy is the best thing for you. If you went to the Wu Nian Academy, then you can speak out freely about your own affairs. Being in the Wu Nian Academy, you would even be someone who called the shots, so you do not need to conceal anything about this matter. Moreover, I also have my own things to take care off, surely you also very clear about this. Maybe in the future, when Ie to the Wu Nian Academy with Luo Fei, then perhaps I can meet you two siblings. Although Ning Cheng exined it like this, Yue Ying was still very anxious in her heart, and hastily spoke to the purple robed woman, Elder Sister, although Big Brother Ning has Hybrid Spiritual Roots, but he is astonishingly strong. Moreover, he definitely cannot bepared to ordinary Essence Building Cultivators, moreover, moreover Big Brother Ning also...... The purple robed woman spoke in a light voice, The reason why my Wu Nian Academy is in such a prestigious position, is not because our people are stronger than others of the same level. What Wu Nian Academy sees is the potential of a person, if he only had at least a little potential for growth, then at least I would be able to call in a few favours for him to join the shops in the Wu Nian Academy, this is already the maximum I could do in my capacity. As to Ning Chengs strength, she thought that she was much clearer than Yue Ying. Although she had not personally seen Ning Cheng y the two Essence Building Cultivators from the Red Heaven Academy, but during the time when everyone was rushing towards the Spirit Stone Mine, she had definitely seen Ning Cheng fighting against the six people who came to snatch the mine from him. Initially, she also thought that Ning Cheng was at True Condensation 3rd Level, but now it looked like, Ning Cheng was not at True Condensation 3rd Level, but rather was at True Condensation 9th Level at that time. It was just that Ning Cheng was initially hiding his own cultivation. As to why she thought that Ning Cheng could fight against six enemies, in addition to concealing his cultivation from others, she thought that it was so that the enemy would underestimate him. As to the Axe Intent that he hadprehended, she was certain that Ning Cheng hadprehended this Axe Intent in the true Angry Axe Valley. With only the ability toprehend, he would not have a big potential in him, and as such was not qualified to join the Wu Nian Academy. Even if hisprehension ability was astonishing to the point that no one couldpare to him, or even heaven defying, if he did not have the proper qualifications, then let alone advancing to the Profound Core Realm, it would be extremely hard for him to even cultivate to the Profound Congealing Realm. Therefore, in high ranking Academies, ones qualification was the most important thing that they first looked at, followed by other things. Seeing that Yue Ying wanted to say something, Ning Cheng quickly stopped Yue Ying for speaking and said, Yue Ying, if you return to the Hua Continent, help me out by going to see Luo Fei. Later you can go to the Wu Nian Academy to cultivate. Ning Cheng knew that Yue Ying would definitely first go to the Hua Continent, Yue Ying had a different Pure White Wind Spiritual Root, moreover her brothers qualifications were also not worse than hers. So the Wu Nian Academy had no reason to not want to take her elder brother along with her. En, I will certainly go and see Sister Luo Fei, this Pearl Hair Clip, I will certainly save it to give it to her. Yue Ying brought out that Pearl Hair Clip. Suddenly in her heart she really did not want to part ways with him. She had been together with Ning Cheng, although they spent most of their time cultivating, however, she had grown fond of that feeling of being together with him. Lets go. The purple robed woman simply spoke. Ruimu Danqin and Cang Shuo also came over to Ning Cheng to bid their goodbyes, all of them were very clear, that Ning Cheng was extremely powerful, moreover he also had the cultivation of Essence Building Realm. But they also knew this fact that it was very difficult for a person toe to the Le Continent by themselves. Looking at the purple robed woman and middle aged male cultivator preparing to leave with Yue Ying and the other three people, Ning Cheng had some doubts in his heart, here there were many Spiritual Grass Hills, but unexpectedly this purple robed woman simply did not even care about them? Meng Jing Xiu was not someone who lost much, so when she saw the doubt on Ning Chengs face, she immediately took the initiative and spoke, Although there are many good things here, but with the strength of the Wu Nian Academy, why would they care about these Low Ranked Spiritual Grasses? Brother Ning, I also want to go seek out some Spiritual Grasses. Seeing Yue Ying and the others leave, Situ Yu immediately came over and spoke. Ning Cheng patted Situ Yu on the shoulder and spoke, Go ahead, if anyone tries to snatch your Spiritual Grasses, you cane look for me. Situ Yus heart was filled with joy, what he wanted to hear were exactly these words, Ning Cheng had already killed the two Essence Building Cultivators from the Red Heaven Academy. So he knew that from now on no one would dare to look for trouble for Situ Yu. Seeing Situ Yu leave, Meng Jing Xiu took the initiative once more and spoke, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, do we go somewhere else, or do we find some other Spiritual Grass Hill? Ning Cheng gave a light smile, Since we have alreadye here, let us try and get some Spiritual Grasses first. This ce kind of suits me anyways. Here in the Angry Axe Valley, the Spiritual Grass Hills were surrounded by the Axe Type Killing Intent on the outside. As to the Axe Type Killing Intent here, Ning Cheng believed that with the Angry Axe Type Killing Intent that he hadprehended before, he believed that he would be able to break open the Killing Intent surrounding the hill. If it really did not work, then he would simply go out and form a team with other people. As Ning Cheng brought Meng Jing Xiu and left, the surrounding cultivators also dispersed. Each one either seeking their own Spiritual Grass Hill, or to find someone who could help them break through the Killing Intent surrounding them. As to the matter regarding the deaths of the disciples from the Red Heaven Academy, it was obviously not a big deal to them. Even if they had to deal with Ning Cheng, they could only be able to deal with him after he left the Angry Axe Valley. Lets just choose this one. Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu stood in front of a verdant green hill and spoke. Meng Jing Xiu gave a simple En sound, and started to reposition herself with her long halberd. She had seen many cultivators use their magic weapons, and by relying on their Killing Force of their magic weapons, they would try to break open the Spiritual Grass Hills. Ning Cheng immediately stopped Meng Jing Xiu and said, You just follow behind me, if you use your magical weapon to try and break through the Axe Type Killing Intent here, then even if both of us work together we definitely will not be able to break open the hill, it would be best if I was the one to give it a try. Saying that Ning Cheng proceeded to take a few steps forward. When he approached the hill, a formidable but boundless Killing Intent came crashing down on him. If it was before, then he would have definitely been ground to dust when this formidable Killing Intent came crashing down on him suddenly. Meng Jing Xiu was following behind Ning Cheng, but the Killing Intent waspletely blocked by Ning Cheng, and as such she was not aware of what was going on with him. But then she began to have some doubts, as she actually saw Ning Chengs entire body trembling. But before she could even ask what was wrong, Ning Cheng unexpectedly took out his Golden Great Axe and sent out an Axe Chop. A pale Golden Great Axe Trace flew across the sky, as if cleaving it in two, as it descended in front of Meng Jing Xius eyes. Meng Jing Xiu sluggishly looked at the Golden Great Axe Trace, while her heart was still in a daze. Didnt Ning Cheng say not to attack with ones magic weapon? Then why did he attack with such power? At this time Ning Cheng had already forgotten about the words he had spoken just a few moments ago, as he returned back to scenario when he was in the true Angry Axe Valley. It was as if there were innumerable ways in which the Axe Trace was taking form from the Axe Intent as they bombarded his consciousness, if he did not resist against them, then he would also end up like that Lan Yu Chen, and would finally be killed by this formidable and powerful Killing Intent. His reaction at that time waspletely unconscious. Because Ning Cheng had killed four disciples from the Red Heaven Academy, and a few of hispanions were also taken away by the Wu Nian Academy from the Le Continent. As a result, all the people there, regarded Ning Cheng as a celebrity. As such his every move was paid attention to by the people, when they saw Ning Cheng and hispanion try to break open the Killing Intent surrounding the Spiritual Grass Hill before them, they did not care much about it. When the people first started toe here, many people had tried doing the same thing, so when the Killing Intent came crashing down on them, they knew that it would be stupid to try and confront it, and would immediately take the initiative to back down, and then try to find someone to team up with them. But those who were paying close attention to Ning Cheng did not ever think that Ning Cheng would not only not back down, but rather even resort to his own magic weapon. Some of them could not even bear to look anymore, as they thought that as long as he would back down, then at least he would not end up with nothing. But once he resorted to his magic weapon and tried to confront the boundless Killing Intent, the only fate left for him was to end up dying. Previously, several powerful Essence Building Cultivators had also tried to depend on their powerful strength, but ultimately even their bones were not left behind, just because they dared to resort to their magic weapons to resist the formidable Killing Intent here. When Ning Cheng resorted to use his Golden Great Axe to go against the Killing Intent here, it was not something impulsive, as he had also encountered the same situation in the true Angry Axe Valley. He was vaguely aware that the Axe Intent heprehended before and the Killing Intent here seemed to have some kind of resonance with each other, whichpletely separated him from the other people. If it was before, then it was highly likely that this Axe Intent that wasing from the hill was more than enough to kill him. What the Axe Intent of the Angry Axe Valley emphasized on, was to always continue forward, and never go back. Ka...... a slight almost inaudible sound rang out, which was not expected by the rest of the people. Although Ning Chengs Axe Intent was powerful, and properly speaking, his Axe Trace should have produced a loud crack created from the detonation of arge amount of True Essence, which would then be followed by Ning Cheng being killed by the explosion of the formidable Killing Intent. But none of them could think that Ning Chengs Great Axe would only create such a light and almost inaudible sound, if one did not concentrate, then they would not even be able to hear this fine sound. A vague thought emerged in Ning Chengs consciousness, but this feeling was something fleeting, Ning Cheng did not have enough time to analyse it, before it disappeared without a trace. Ning Cheng sighed, he understood that this was definitely a new kind of Axe Intent, but it truly was a pity that this Axe Intent was something iparable to the true Angry Axe Intent in the true Angry Axe Valley, and as such he knew that he should not take hold of it. After this fuzzy feeling disappeared, Ning Cheng suddenly saw the result in front of him. In front of him the Killing Intent hadpletely disappeared and could simply not be perceived anymore, it was as if there was giant invisible hole in front of him that could not be seen by anyone else. The Killing Intent is gone, lets hurry up and go inside to collect the Spiritual Grasses. Ning Cheng spoke in a pleasantly surprised manner, he absolutely did not think that just with his simple axe he would be able to break open the Killing Intent Barrier around the Spiritual Grass Hill before him. Yi! he was not killed by the Killing Intent, and could actually even go in. Seeing Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu enter the hill, it was immediately noticed by someone. Some of the people wanted to take advantage of this, and immediately rushed out to follow behind Ning Cheng, their thinking was very simple, although Ning Cheng would snatch away the High Ranked Spiritual Grasses, but at least Ning Cheng would definitely not snatch away all the Low Ranked Spiritual Grasses. However just when these people rushed towards the foot of the hill, they were immediately thrown back by the formidable Killing Intent that came crashing down on them. This damnable Killing Intent is still surrounding the hill, just how in the world did they go in? Some of the people instantly understood this point, and immediately called out in a horror stricken voice. Before in all of the hills, only after the Killing Intent was broken through by the unified Imposing Manner of numerous cultivators, would they be able to go through. Moreover, once they broke through, the Killing Intent would immediately dissipate. But it was absolutely not the case with Ning Cheng, although his Axe Chop was able to open the Killing Intent surrounding the hill before them, but it did not dissipate the Killing Intent surrounding it. I understand, it is because he hadprehended the Axe Intent in this Angry Axe Valley, and could use this same Killing Intent to blow open this Axe Intent surrounding the hill. The cultivators here were not stupid, when they saw Ning Cheng use his axe technique before, they immediately deduced that he definitely was in possession of a formidable Axe Type Killing Intent. Now that Ning Cheng was able to use his Axe Trace to go through the Killing Intent Barrier in front of the Spiritual Grass Hill, this was simply not a difficult conclusion toe to. Thats right, originally the best way to fight the Killing Intent Barrier in front of the hills, is toprehend the Axe Intent here, rather than using the Imposing Manner of the people to break through. Now that someone understood how to break open the Killing Intent in front of the hills, some of the cultivators immediately sat down in front of the Killing Intent Barrier with their eyes closed, as they tried toprehend this Axe Intent. But at this time Ning Cheng was wantonly collecting the Spiritual Grasses with Meng Jing Xiu, here this hill was rich with Spiritual Grasses, moreover there were only two people collecting the Spiritual Grasses. This was simply the long awaited dream of Ning Cheng. He had only one though in his mind at this time, and that was waiting to get out of this ce, so that he could then finally refine these Spiritual Grasses into Pills. Chapter 0146 – Presently at the Axe Valley Chapter 0146: Presently at the Axe Valley Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, why are you not even sparing the Rank 1 and Rank 2 Spiritual Grasses? As Meng Jing Xiu saw Ning Cheng, who as long as he saw a Spiritual Grass, would collect it no matter what, without even giving a thought to its rank, finally spoke up. Although, the hill had too many good things, it had Spiritual Grasses from Rank 1 to all the way to Rank 4, there were even some Rank 5 Spiritual Grasses growing here. Ning Cheng just simply gave a chuckle and spoke, I am preparing to learn Alchemy, therefore these Spiritual Grasses are really useful to me. You want to learn Alchemy? Meng Jing Xiu stared at Ning Cheng, and only reacted after a long while. It was because she was conscious of the fact that Alchemy was very difficult, as a result she was really astonished when she heard those words. Regardless of the fact that Alchemy needed innumerable Spiritual Grasses as resources, it was not something an ordinary person could afford to learn even if they wanted to, that was because Alchemy was something inborn in a person, it simply cannot be casually learned even by apetent person. Moreover, the best Spiritual Root needed to try to learn Alchemy was the Fire Spiritual Root, with the Wood Spiritual Root as an Auxiliary Support Spiritual Root, moreover the Spiritual Roots absolutely cannot be a hybrid one. In addition to this, one must also have a strong talent and affinity towards Alchemy. Because of this, even in the entire Yi Xing Maind, the number of Alchemists were extremely pitiful in number, even in the Advanced ss Continents, Alchemy Masters were still very umon. Ning Cheng seemed to have known what Meng Jing Xiu was thinking about, so after thinking about it himself, he once again casually replied, If you dont want them, then you can give me your Lower Ranked Spiritual Grasses, so that I can use them in my Alchemy and give the finished Pills to you. Meng Jing Xiu eased up, as she smiled and said, I do not need Spiritual Grasses, I did note here for the sake of gathering Spiritual Grasses, if you want these Spiritual Grasses, I can give all of them to you. As Meng Jing Xiu said this, she looked at Ning Cheng in a somewhat sheepish manner. Although she wanted to exin a bit more, but thinking about it she simply chose to not mention it. For Meng Jing Xiu the Spiritual Grasses here truly had not much use for her. I have always been this kind of a person, so my personality is somewhat entric. As such, I dont know how to say things in the correct way. Before in the Mo Ze Grand za I had offended you openly. I hope and also request Senior Apprentice Brother Ning to not mind it. Meng Jing Xiu had always wanted to sincerely apologise to Ning Cheng after that incident. So now that she heard Ning Cheng say that he wanted to learn Alchemy, her mood immediately rxed, and on the contrary, finally came out and said the things that she wanted to say. Ning Cheng simply gave a smile, Although when I met you before, I admit that I had a bit of a poor impression of you, but after seeing that your magic weapon is a long halberd, I knew that you were a frank person, therefore I did not mind it all. In fact, you know, you should smile a lot more. The smile that was on your face a moment ago on your serious face really made you much more beautiful. [TL Note: In ancient times, the people who preferred and wielded the Halberd as their weapon for battles, were all generally viewed as straightforward and having a frank personality. They were the people who would generally speak their mind.] Ning Cheng was from Earth, so for him to praise a woman to be beautiful, was a very normal matter for him, and was not necessarily like the others. Although Meng Jing Xiu had a slightly dark skin, but none the less she was truly beautiful. Before she had always put on a serious face, but now that there were more smiles on her face, her womanly charm waspletely revealed, it was only normal for him toplement her. Meng Jing Xius face turned slightly red, as she lowered her head and did not speak. Although she was confident that she was not ugly, but she knew that when Ning Cheng said that she was beautiful, it was not because he felt attracted to her. This was a womans intuition. Something that she waspletely unable to express in words. Whats more, for her, there were simply too many things that she must handle, so the matter of finding apanion, was something that was absolutely impossible for her at this moment. Yi! I found four mature Essence Raising Fruits. The thing Ning Cheng just casually said, he had already put it aside. At present, the thing that he was most attracted at the moment was the stub containing four Essence Raising Fruits in a row. Generally, there would only be a single Essence Raising Fruit on one stub, moreover the branches of the Essence Raising Fruit were also very small, just like a piece of an ordinary thin grass. The Essence Raising Fruit was one of the main Spiritual Fruits required to refine the Essence Building Pill, moreover previously because Ruimu Danqin had obtained an Essence Raising Fruit, it had almost provoked a fatal disaster for them. With the discovery of the Essence Raising Fruit, more and more High Ranking Spiritual Grasses began to appear in front of them, Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia, Returning Boat Flower, Declivity Gathering Root, Mist Orchids and other precious Spiritual Grasses were found in abundance by Ning Cheng. Seeing the Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia, Ning Cheng immediately was reminded of An Yi, who was currently in the Falling Star Academy. Initially she wanted to find the Heaven Scented Precious Zoysia, and even though she worked very hard to try and find it but she was not able to find a single one, but now unexpectedly he was able to obtain more than one here. As for the Returning Boat Flower, after being refined into a pill, it can then easily be used by an Essence Building Cultivator to cultivate. However, the Declivity Gathering Root and the Mist Orchids were something really precious. Especially the Declivity Gathering Root, although its rank was not as high as the Mist Orchids, but it is one of the Best Quality Spiritual Grasses among the Rank 4 Spiritual Grasses, moreover this Spiritual Grass can be refined into a Declivity Spiritual Pill. The Declivity Spiritual Pill was a Level 4 True Pill, once a lower level cultivator was possessed by the devil when he cultivates, then using the Declivity Spiritual Pill was the best medicinal pill that could help him/her. [TL Note C Here the devil refers to mental demons that a cultivator has to face.] On the Spiritual Grass Hill, Ning Cheng had already filled two Storage Bags, of course, it also included the one that Meng Jing Xiu gave to him. Meng Jing Xiu only kept a very small part of the Spiritual Grasses that were possibly of some use to her, while she handed over the rest to Ning Cheng. This really is very good, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, let us change hills and continue. Ning Cheng rubbed his hands in glee, he was looking more and more forward to explore the rest of the Angry Axe Valley. Meng Jing Xiu gave an en sound, but then spoke after a bit of hesitation, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, do we go to that ce first. Here there are innumerable Spiritual Grasses, but there are only Lower Ranked Spiritual Grasses. Because of the ident that happened in the Angry Axe Valley, I am afraid that we would not be able to go to that ce before we end up being transferred out. Ning Cheng immediately recovered from the delusion of collecting innumerable Spiritual Grasses, as he thought about what Meng Jing Xiu said, it really was not without reason. Who knew when the Angry Axe Valley would revert to its previous state and transfer them out? Having some thought till here, he once more cautiously asked, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, what is this ce in the Angry Axe Valley that you keep speaking about? Moreover, how do you know about this ce? Meng Jing Xiu did not have the time to answer, when Ning Cheng immediately sensed a berserk rippleing from the periphery, this feeling made Ning Cheng feel extreme danger. Without any time to reflect on it, he immediately grabbed Meng Jing Xiu, and explosively increased his speed to the point that he only appeared as a vague blur, as he immediately flew out and escaped from the hill. Meng Jing Xiu who was immediately grabbed by Ning Cheng, seeing him fleeing with full force, immediately knew that something terrible might have happened, as such she did not dare move about. Sure enough, the next moment a terrible deafening explosion rumbled through at the ce the two of them were just standing about. Hong.... A terrible explosion resounded behind Ning Chengs back, causing the strong impact to directly explode on Ning Chengs back, the clothes on Ning Chengs back immediately shred to pieces because of the explosion. It was followed by a Peng sound, as Ning Cheng was immediately thrown forcefully because of the strength of the explosion, falling to the ground at a distance, forming a huge pit beneath him, while he still kept Meng Jing Xiu pressed to him to protect her. Meng Jing Xius original injuries were still not fully healed, so because she was still with Ning Cheng, she immediately spouted a mouthful of blood. Ning Cheng was already at Essence Building 1st Level, so his True Essence was extremely vigorous, so when his clothes were shredded away by the explosion, other than a minute amount of blood that trickled out, there was no other injuries on his body. He immediately held up Meng Jing Xiu and spoke in an apologetical manner, I dont know how, but the hill we were at exploded suddenly. I did not pay more attention to it, and ended up hurting you again. Meng Jing Xiu finally stood up on her feet, as she wiped off the bloodstains on her mouth and said, I am fine, if not for you grabbing me and leaving a moment ago, then perhaps I would not have been able toe out. All the people looked at Ning Chengs hill in astonishment, at this time, that hill had already vanished and could not be seen at all, rather that hill had turned into a huge pit. Moreover, that terrible power of the explosion, even if it was a cultivator in the Essence Building Realm, it was not something that they could withstand. In other words, if they had been collecting Spiritual Grasses in there, then, at this time they would have already died. Several of the Essence Building Cultivators were just on their way to Ning Cheng to inquire what had happened, when several fierce explosions started to resound all around them. Two hills that were not far from them suddenly exploded with a tremendous explosive force, as a result the cultivators still inside the hill were not as lucky as Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu. Other than a few cultivators that rushed away while still being on the outside, the rest of the cultivators inside and near the periphery of the hills were not able to escape, and immediately turned into ash because of the intense explosive force that exploded out from the hills. As a result, the cultivators still seeking Spiritual Grasses, or the cultivators still coborating to break into the hills, immediately withdrew in bulk. Sure enough, these cultivators had only walked not far away, when more hills began to explode. Finally, because of the continuous explosions, it formed into a towering Imposing Manner, as the huge explosion sounds began to rise up unceasingly. Some of the cultivators were simply toote in escaping, and were hit by those explosions in droves, as they all finally fell from the sky dead. Sure enough, we really were able to escape early.... Ning Cheng spoke with a lingering fear in his voice, if he was even a little bit slow, then maybe he would have been one of the people who fell from the sky dead because of the explosion. Although he had still not finished speaking, he knew that these explosions were not without a reason, as it was simply impossible for all the hills to continuously explode without any reason while frying those who were still collecting on those Spiritual Grass Hills before they exploded. Smoke and rubble produced from the explosion had alreadypletely covered this ce. Ning Cheng at once swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness in the direction of Situ Yu and the others, but found nothing, and instead actually felt a bit relieved. The Angry Axe Valley, its the Angry Axe Valley......the real Angry Axe Valley emerged...... An incoherent voice sounded out, this voice immediately drew the attention of everyone to the sight in front of them. And immediately even more people started calling out incoherently, as they thought that what they saw in front of them was the real Angry Axe Valley. Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu also clearly saw a huge ravine appear in front of them, moreover this huge ravine seemed to have been cleaved by an Axe and as such its walls were extremely neat and smooth. Moreover, the faint trace of Killing Intent that was leaking out from there, immediately made the bodies of all the people there turn cold. But at this moment Ning Cheng could indistinctly feel that this Angry Axe Valley and the Angry Axe Valley that he had went and seen before were somewhat different, but as to what was different, he could not put his finger on. Because the Spiritual Grass Hill had now turned into t ground because of the explosions, the cultivators who were depressed, once more became excited. Even if those hills turned t, there was still the real Angry Axe Valley in front of them, this was simply a true great opportunity. As long as they couldprehend even a tiny bit of the Axe Intent in the true Angry Axe Valley, their future would really end up great. Didnt that Early Stage Essence Building Cultivator from beforehandprehend the Axe Intent, and easily and continuously killed the two Essence Building Masters from the Red Heaven Academy? Moreover, one of them was even at Essence Building 7th Level. What did that person rely on? It was the Axe Intent. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I seem to feel a kind of Killing Intent, my... Meng Jing Xiu spoke while being pleasantly surprised, the Imposing Manner of her halberd technique Raging Tides of the River was already amazing, but she actually felt that shecked a certain charm to it, this charm was precisely the true Killing Intent. This was the Halberd Intent, if she couldprehend the Halberd Intent here, then her battle proficiency would have more than doubled. Ning Cheng saw that countless people were swarming towards the Angry Axe Valley, and nodded, Youd better go in, after a while I wille look for you. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, dont you want to go in? Meng Jing Xiu asked as she looked at Ning Cheng in a puzzled manner. I can already feel the Axe Intent from here, moreover I can already feel that I can obtain it. Ning Cheng quickly replied, before he had felt that this Axe Valley and the Axe Valley that he saw before were somewhat different, but now he could tell that they both were absolutely different. This entire Axe Valley, looking from an overall perspective looked iparably smooth, but when he observed the surroundings with his Spiritual Consciousness this time, he found that the Axe Traces here had innumerable tiny cracks. But Ning Cheng could actually feel something from these cracks, he could feel that this vague feeling was a third kind of Axe Intent. ...... Author Note: The previous two kinds of Axe Intent Ning Chengprehended are: [Angry Axe, the 1st Trace] [Angry Axe, Tornado] Chapter 0147 – Axe Line Chapter 0147: Axe Line All the people swarmed towards this Axe Valley, only Ning Cheng did not go in. He simply sat outside the Axe Valley, and hadpletely immersed himself in the new type of Axe Intent. Only a small amount of time passed by, when the hustle and bustle previously all around him had already disappeared. Only Ning Cheng was sitting around the outside the Axe Valley, and was surrounded all around by the Axe Intent from the valley, it was simr to the Killing Intent that was wrapped around the hills. As the trace of Axe Intent was gradually forming in Ning Chengs consciousness. Ning Cheng was just about to clearly form the third type of Axe Intent of the Angry Axe, when the numerous cracked Axe Traces all around the valley continuously interrupted Ning Cheng in his consciousness, he had never seen this kind of coherence. To Ning Cheng, the more he thought about linking up with this Axe Intent, the more difficult he felt it to be. Ning Cheng did not know how many times in the past few days that he probed the cracks in the Axe Valley with his consciousness, but was still unable to thoroughly link them up, and change it into the true Angry Axe Killing Intent. If he could not link up those cracks, then he knew that he would not be able toprehend the third type of Axe Intent. This way was absolutely not good, Ning Cheng thought as he subconsciously tried to forcefully link up these cracked Axe Traces, but just as he tried to gain some understanding, a huge explosion rocked through his Sea of Consciousness, and rendered him defenceless. Ning Cheng directly spouted out a mouthful of blood, as in his mind the somewhat clear Axe Intent once again vanished without a trace. But Ning Cheng did not open his eyes, he once again used his Spiritual Consciousness to time and time again explore this Axe Valley. Ning Cheng suddenly shuddered, he felt the most profound thing. This feeling was not something he himself could believe, and he finally opened his eyes, and stubbornly stared at this Axe Valley in front of him for a long while, and then slowly gave out a pained sighed. He once again closed his eyes, and let the Axe Intent that had dissipated to once again gather together. He finally came to understand what the matter was, this Axe Valley in front of him was false. But the numerous cracks around the Axe Valley were true cracked Axe Traces. In other words, these cracks were true, but the Axe Valley was false. Such a contradictory thing, there could only be one interpretation, the Axe Valley in front of him simply did not exist, but the cracked Axe Traces were created from a formidable Axe Intent. Moreover, these cracks could be linked up with each other, although he did not know why, but it seems like it was created by a peerless expert who hade here before. He deliberately split these Axe Trace cracks, for forging this special Angry Axe Valley. In fact, here there were already marks of an Axe Line present here previously, before this Axe Valley had appeared. It was precisely the opposite of what many had thought. Because Ning Chengprehended two types of Axe Intents, so just by sensing around for several days, he was able to understand this truth. To Ning Cheng, as long as he understood this truth, the following matter would be much easier. He once again immersed himself in the middle of these Axe Trace cracks once more, as to the Axe Trace cracks in the middle of that false Axe Valley, he had already abandoned them. A cracked Axe Trace formed out of thin air, in Ning Chengs Sea of Consciousness. This original cracked Axe Trace that were destroyed in the Axe Valley, once again started to connect the cracks on the two sides of the Axe Valley. The cracked traces were gradually bing clearer, as the Axe Intent was also slowly getting highlighted. This time the Axe Traces stimted from the cracked traces in Ning Chengs Sea of Consciousness were different from the original. However, the third type of Angry Axe that manifested was something that reflected Ning Chengs heart. When these cracked traces were getting more and moreplete in Ning Chengs consciousness, Ning Chengs Third Form of the Angry Axe finally started to take shape. At this time the final image of aplete Axe Intent finally formed in Ning Chengs Sea of Consciousness, as Ning Cheng immediately leapt into the sky without warning, immediately brought out the Golden Great Axe on his back. As he sted out acerating and twisting Axe Shadow, this twisting Axe Shadow directly epassed everything in its path into a fist sized ball before directly shattering it into a fine powder, moreover even in the air, the distortion created by the Axe Shadow trace could still be seen clearly. Around this trace, one could even see shes of tinier cracks. Just like how thunder and lightning drops down, there would always be small arcs of thunder and lightning around the main lightning sh. Boom....... But when this twisted Axe Shadow exploded on the ground, it had an appearance of a clear and smooth Axe Trace. But on the edge of this Axe Trace there were countless twisted lines, it resembled the ordinary tiny fissures around the Giant Axe Valley in front of him. Ning Cheng once again took back his axe, as he closed his eyes to ponder for a long time, as he once again put the Golden Great Axe onto his back, he spoke to himself, This is my Third Type of Angry Axe, Axe Line. In the Angry Axe Valley, not even the shadow of a single person could be seen anymore. All the people in order toprehend the Axe Intent in the Valley, had already gone deep inside the valley. But outside, there was only a single person who was precisely Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng quickly entered the Valley, he was going to see how far Meng Jing Xiusprehension of the Axe Intent went along, if she had almostprehended it fully, then they both can then get down to business. If she was not able toprehend, then he would have to persuade her to leave. Originally this was a false Axe Valley. So there was basically no Axe Intent inside that could actually beprehended. Just as Ning Cheng left, suddenly an obscure human figure rose from the earth without attracting any attention. This figure quickly arrived at the ce where Ning Cheng left the Axe Trace, bent its body, as it reached down and carefully stroked the Axe Trace for a long time. Then ced its hand on its nose as if he was sniffing it. He soon got up, with an extremely ugly look on his face, as he muttered to himself, That persons progress is simply too frightening, not only did he reach the cultivation of Essence Building Realm, but was also able toprehend such a formidable Axe Intent in the Angry Axe Valley. Im afraid that I am not his match...... He stared at the ce where Ning Cheng disappeared in the Axe Valley for a long time, and then turned around and walked away. Although this was the first time that he saw the Angry Axe Valley, but he was the first cultivator who did not go in. If Ning Cheng was here, he would have immediately surely recognised this cultivator, who was known as King Xiu Xiu. After Ning Cheng entered the Angry Axe Valley, he did not go much further on the path, when he could see countless corpses along the way. Initially Ning Cheng did not care much about it, as he understood that trying toprehend the Axe Intent here was a dangerous matter, so for people to fall down dead here was not strange. However soon Ning Cheng felt that something was not right, the cultivators here mostly died from not being able toprehend the Axe Intent, but rather seemed that they had died fighting mutually. Ning Cheng was a bit worried in his heart, although all the people here knew his name, but in the event of if something good appeared. And no one knew who Ning Cheng was, then if there was no one in conflict with him then it would still be ok, but the prerequisite thing would be for a precious thing to not appear. Once a precious thing appeared, then who would care about him being Ning Cheng? Ning Cheng wanted to hurry and leave this ce, but this Axe Valley was unexpectedly very long, even with sweeping out with his Spiritual Consciousness he was unable to locate the end. But fortunately flying through the valley for almost half a day, Ning Cheng finally was able to see a living cultivator. My friend, can I ask you if you have seen mypanion? Moreover, where did the rest of the people who entered here go? Ning Cheng directlynded in front of this cultivator and asked. This cultivator had the cultivation of True Condensation 5th Level, seeing Ning Chengs Imposing Manner when he arrived, he knew that he was far from being an opponent to him, as immediately stared at Ning Cheng with an alert expression, as he slowly spoke, I dont even know you, so how would I even know who yourpanion is? Do you not recognize me? Ning Cheng asked as he frowned. He had killed the four disciples from the Red Heaven Academy, moreover rejected the invitation from the Wu Nian Academy, so how was it possible for the other people to not know about him? I do not recognize you, when the Angry Axe Valley appeared, I and several otherpanions of mine came here to try andprehend the Axe Intent. Mypanions wanted to look for Spiritual Grasses, but I was able to sense a hint of the Axe Intent here, so I stayed behind. The True Condensation 5th Level cultivator saw Ning Chengs face did not have the expression of pretending, so he took the initiative to exin. At the same time, some doubts appeared in his heart, if this person was really powerful or not? But if he was then how could he have not heard of him? Were you not there at the Spiritual Grass Hill beforeing here? Ning Cheng asked once again. This True Condensation Cultivator shook his head and said, I do not know of these Spiritual Grass Hills that you speak of. I see, thank you. Saying that, Ning Cheng immediately quickened his pace, as he vanished into the depths of the Axe Valley. This time he really understood, that the explosion ident that happened in the Angry Axe Valley was definitely not a small ident, this ident had caused this false Axe Valley to be revealed. Because so many cultivators in the Angry Axe Valley saw this Axe Valley, they all entered this Axe Valley with the intent of gaining some insight into the Axe Intent. That True Condensation Cultivator that he saw a moment ago, should havee from another entrance. After Ning Cheng walked for another two hours, he finally saw Meng Jing Xiu. But this time Meng Jing Xiu was rapidly escaping in his direction, behind her there seemed to be a True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator chasing her. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning.... Meng Jing Xiu immediately saw Ning Cheng, and with great happiness, hurried towards Ning Chengs side. That True Condensation 9th Level Cultivator who was pursuing Meng Jing Xiu, seeing that Ning Cheng came over, moreover knew that he was with Meng Jing Xiu, immediately became ufortable as he spoke some unhappy words, as he immediately turned around and walked away. What is the matter? Ning Cheng didnt pursue the cultivator who had already turned around and walked away, and immediately asked Meng Jing Xiu about how she ended up in a conflict with that person. It stood for reason that Meng Jing Xius injuries were already healed, otherwise under normal circumstances she was not a person to end up in a fight with other people. Meng Jing Xiu eagerly spoke, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, here we found an Ancient Immortal Mansion, moreover this Immortal Mansion appears to be of a peerless expert, and many of the people have already gone in. An Immortal Mansion of a peerless expert? How do you know? Ning Cheng asked with some doubts. Meng Jing Xiu quickly spoke, There was an Array Formation outside the Immortal Mansion, but suddenly for some reason it fell apart. As such some of the Array gs of the Array Formation were revealed. Do you know what those Array gs were made of? The lowest quality among them was a Low Level Spiritual Grade Artefact, and they were even a few that were High Level Spiritual Grade Artefacts that were made into Array gs. But an Essence Building Cultivator from the Feng Continent, was even able to grab a Best Quality Spiritual Grade Artefact that was made into an Array g. Best Quality Spiritual Artefact? Ning Cheng immediately repeated those words in shock. It definitely was a Best Quality Spiritual Artefact, moreover this was outside of the Immortal Mansion, also the doorway to the Immortal Mansion exudes an extremely rich Spiritual Qi, so it is obvious that the inside of the Immortal Mansion would also have better things. Meng Jing Xiu said as her face flushed red. Why did that person from a moment ago chase you? Ning Cheng pointed in the direction that the Late Stage True Condensation Cultivator retreated in and asked. Meng Jing Xiu quickly spoke, Many of the True Condensation Cultivators formed teams, of at least three people, that person wanted to draw me in to form a team together with him. But I did not pay attention to him, moreover when that person tried to invite me, I really was not in the mood, and directly said, to go and piss on himself....... The following words Meng Jing Xiu really did not need to exin, as Ning Cheng already understood, and as such Meng Jing Xiu also did not need to speak the rest. If you dont want to go then you could have directly said so, why speak such words? Moreover, such words that could easily offend someone. Moreover, saying those words in such a fierce way. Seeing Meng Jing Xiu embarrassed, Ning Cheng spoke, Let us also go and have a look, we have already been here for several days, so how much of the Axe Intent here were you able toprehend? Meng Jing Xiu shook her head, as she took out several Spiritual Grasses and said, There were many Spiritual Grasses inside, I was also able to find numerous Spiritual Grasses, including the Rainbow Light Grass that Cang Shuo was looking for, but as for the progress with Axe Intent, there simply was no progress in that regard. Chapter 0148 – Killing Intent Restriction Chapter 0148: Killing Intent Restriction Meng Jing Xiu also did not speak anymore nonsense, as she immediately guided Ning Cheng towards the entrance of that Immortal Mansion, but at this moment there were almost 1,000-2,000 people gathered in front of it. This doorway to the Immortal Mansion had a small za in front of it, but even with so many people here, it still not appeared to be crowded. Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, I remember that there were much more number of people who entered this ce, so how is it possible that there are only these many people here? Ning Cheng did not think that there were too many people here, on the contrary he felt that there were far too fewer people here. Meng Jing Xiu pointed towards the front of the temporary za and said, Although this stone door is not obstructing the people, but unless a person does not have a certain strength, they would not be able to enter, it is simr to the hill that we entered back then, that was blocked by ayer of Killing Intent. But some of the people present here, who understood Array Formations, said that this is not a simple Killing Intent Barrier, but rather a Killing Intent Restriction. Relying on just ones Imposing Manner would not be enough for a person to go through, moreover the time I have been here was simply too short, and the people who were able to go in all had high cultivations, moreover they all were those who had some understanding towards Restrictions and also some of the Cultivators even disyed someprehension towards the Axe Intent. Ning Cheng nodded, although this stone door was not blocking people, but there was a much more powerful Killing Intent surrounding itpared to the hills they have been at. What Meng Jing Xiu had said was right, this Killing Intent surrounding it was not formed at will unlike the hills, but rather ording to certain rules and regtionsid down during the arrangement of the Array Formation. If it was like this for a long time, then the Killing Intent would have already dissipated, moreover the Restriction here was damaged, otherwise for an ordinary Essence Building Cultivator, even if they formed a team of four people, they wouldnt be able to go in. As for the rest of the people, after probing it out and finding that even by forming teams they would not be able to go in, in the end they all left. Some of them went to other ces, while some of the them went into the depths of this Angry Axe Valley. Meng Jing Xiu said as she pointed to the far end in which this Angry Axe Valley extended. Lets go take a look. Ning Cheng said, as he already started walking towards this stone door in front of him, at this moment there were four True Condensation Cultivators coborating to break this Killing Intent Restriction. Seeing this Ning Cheng simply stood to one side, once these four people gave up, he would thene and try it himself. These four people were Late Stage True Condensation Cultivators. After eating failure several times, one of them finally lost his patience and resorted to directly using his Magic Weapon to directly blow past it. Peng When this persons Magic Weapon collided with the open stone door, it issued a muffled Peng sound, but the Magic Weapon did not go through the open front door, instead it was rebounded by the Restriction on the front door, and with an even stronger force hit the chest of this cultivator. This cultivator who was hit by his own Magic Weapon tumbled through the air as he spouted out numerous mouthfuls of blood. The cultivators observing from both the sides immediately retreated on seeing what happened to that cultivator. Moreover, more than dozens of people silently departed the square after this scene. When the three otherpanions of the cultivator who flew out tumbling saw his state, they also temporarily stepped aside from this stone door. Just as these four people left the vicinity of the open stone door, Ning Cheng quickly stepped up directly in front of the door, while simultaneously took out his Golden Great Axe. Some of the people recognized Ning Cheng, and immediately got out of his way. As to the many people who did not know Ning Cheng, they simply secretly shook their heads, wasnt a guy recently hit with his own Magic Weapon because of the rebound from the Killing Intent as he tried to force open the door injuring him severely. Moreover, this guy also dared to resort to his Magic Weapon to do the same. With this type of Killing Intent Restriction, even a receiving a severe injury would be considered as light. Ning Cheng did not directly attack. He felt the open door in front of him with his Spiritual Consciousness, and immediately sensed an aspect of the Axe Intent in it. While at the same time he also felt that there was some kind of confinement. This Axe Intent seemed to be bound within the range of this door. In only a short time, Ning Cheng was already clear, there truly was a Killing Intent Restriction ced here. But because this Killing Intent Restriction was ced many years ago, so its power was not at its full 100%. If this Killing Intent Restriction had even 1/10th of its former power, then he was sure that nobody here would be able to pass through here. Get out of the way, I want to go in. A gruff voice interrupted Ning Chengs thoughts. Ning Cheng turned around and saw three Essence Building Cultivators, and the one who spoke was at Essence Building 5th Level, while his face was very ugly and ferocious looking, and had a sturdy demeanour. Behind him, there was a male and a female cultivator, the male cultivator had a slender frame, with a small white face almost simr to a gigolo, and had the cultivation of Essence Building 6th Level. While that female cultivator was wearing a red dress, and unexpectedly turned out to be an extremely attractive young girl, and simrly had the cultivation of Essence Building 6th Level. You can go in, but you will have to wait till I go in, moreover isnt it always firste first serve. Ning Cheng tly said as he saw the three people. He also stood in line, and only came up after the four people in front of him failed, and only then did he took his turn toe to try and open this restriction. At the moment he had not even started, so since it was already his turn, so why would he even give it to others? The people nearby seemed to know the origins of these three people, and as a result they soon started to joke among themselves, This fellow really acts recklessly, he even dares topete with the people from the White Moon Sword Sect and the Twin Star Academy for an early entry. That young girl should be the White Moon Sword Sects He Lian Gu Lan, right? Then beside her should definitely be the Twin Star Academys Wu Shu and Zuo Hong Xuan. If they really are those three people, then that person is really courting death. Some of the nearby people echoed out. Some of the people who immediately recognised Ning Cheng said while gloating, Who will die and who will live, youll see in a bit, as the strength of the Twin Star Academy and the Red Heaven Academy are really simr. What is the matter? Is this persons background something great? ...... Are you really looking to die? If so then let this father chop you up...... That ugly and ferocious looking cultivator heard Ning Chengs words, and immediately flew into rage, he immediately raised his hands, while at the same time a copper gong appeared in his hands. The red dress wearing girl frowned and said, Hong Xuan, there is indeed the policy of firste first serve here, after he has tried, it would not bete for us to try againter. Moreover, we just arrived here, if this ce was really easy to open, then many of the people would not have left this ce. When that ugly and ferocious looking man heard the words of this young girl, the anger on his face was immediately reced with gentleness in just a moment and he spoke, Since Junior Apprentice Sister Gu Lan had said so, then I will listen to your words. Saying that, he immediately angrily called out to Ning Cheng, It would be better if you moved quickly, we dont want to waste a lot of time to wait on you. Ning Cheng simply did not bother with it and ignored him, as he spoke to Meng Jing Xiu, Junior Apprentice Sister Meng Jing Xiu, we can go in. Senior apprentice Brother Ning can you really open this? Meng Jing Xiu asked with surprise. Ning Cheng showed a faint smile and spoke, Of course I can. Saying that, he lifted his hands as he grabbed one of the Array gs, while also simultaneously raised the Golden Great Axe in his hand. Friends, please wait...... An anxious voice immediately sounded out, which immediately made Ning Chengs hands stop. Do you have any business with me? Ning Cheng looked over at this cultivator and asked, this cultivator already had the cultivation of Essence Building 7th Level. When this cultivator came over, that ugly and ferocious looking cultivator, unconsciously stepped to one side. When he looked at Ning Chengs cultivation it appeared very vague, but when he looked at this cultivator he could say without a doubt that he was already at Essence Building 7th Level. Moreover, he himself was only at Essence Building 5th Level, and as such deferred by two levels in strength from that cultivator at Essence Building 7th Level. In the Yi Xing Maind, the strong were always respected, moreover this principle was applicable anywhere. I have seen you twice before, but you probably do not remember me. The first time was when we were mining together, but at that time I was busy mining myself, and did not have the time toe and greet you. The second time was in front of me when we were trying to seek out Spiritual Grasses on the hills, therefore I am already somewhat already familiar with you. This Essence Building 7th Level Cultivation was very polite, and talked to Ning Cheng in kind words. Ning Cheng nodded, the first few words that this man spoke were really polite. At the time he was mining, there was simply no time to greet anyone, moreover everyone disdained each other at that time and personal talk was simply useless between each other at that time. With regards to the former, he had killed four disciples from the Red Heaven Academy, including a cultivator at the Essence Building 7th Level. Moreover, he was also able to break open a passage for himself in the Killing Intent barrier surrounding the hill very easily, it seems that this person also certainly saw it. Perhaps this person came here in wanting to take advantage of what he had seen in the past, as although the Killing Intent Restriction on this open door was damaged, but without understanding Axe Intent and Restrictions, even if that person was at Essence Building 9th Level, even they would not be able to go in. The man had just finished, but did not wait for Ning Cheng to speak as he directly took out a Storage Bag as he handed it to Ning Cheng and said, Here are some of the stones that I collected, why dont you take a look at them my friend? Ning Cheng received the Storage Bag, which was filled with 1,000 High Grade Spirit Stones. For an Essence Building Cultivator, 1,000 High Grade Spirit Stones, was not a small sum of wealth. But after Ning Cheng swept out at this Storage Bag with his Spiritual Sense, he simply returned that Storage Bag to this cultivator. He understood the meaning of the other party, they were both in the Angry Axe Valley, and for a thousand High Grade Spirit Stones, he wanted to enter an Ancient Immortals Mansion, this kind of offer was simply too cheap. Besides this person had definitely mined in the Angry Axe Valley for a long time, so he should at least be having several hundreds of thousands of High Grade Spirit Stones on him. With so many Spirits Stones on him, he only took out a paltry one thousand, for Ning Cheng to ept such a thing would really be a strange event. Moreover 1,000 High Grade Spirit Stones for Ning Cheng, simply would not serve any purpose. Seeing this the man was somewhat surprised, but then Ning Cheng spoke in a light voice, Here is an Ancient Immortal Mansion, even if you grab any of the Best Quality Spiritual Grade Artefacts here outside this Ancient Immortal Mansion, you would be easily able to get hundreds of thousands of High Grade Spirit Stones for it, so for you toe up with this kind of stuff, moreover to enter the Immortal Mansion, is simply too...... This Essence Building Cultivator suddenly came to understand that Ning Cheng had also mined in that ce, so giving a trivial 1,000 High Grade Spirit Stones to someone like him was really something not worth looking at. Thinking till here, he put away that Storage Bag, and once again took out another Storage Bag, as he handed it over to Ning Cheng and said, Here are the things, do you want to have a look? Ning Cheng received the Storage Bag and looked inside, there truly was many things inside, around 10,000 High Grade Spirit Stones, moreover there were even many Spiritual Grasses, the total value almost added up to about 30,000 High Grade Spirit Stones. If you can take out things more than double this value, then you cane in with us, Ning Cheng once again gave back the Storage Bag to this Essence Building Cultivator and said. Since he was a cultivator in the Angry Axe Valley, Ning Cheng estimated that this really was a small exchange. Moreover, he had been in closed door cultivation for too long, as these people wandered about, who knows how many good things that these people collected? If he did not seize this chance to get somepensation for his own, then who knew when he would get such an opportunity? Besides, even if he asked an even higher price, after the people entered the Immortal Mansion, perhaps they would even gain more than ten times of the both the capital and interestbined. This Essence Building Cultivator clenched his teeth, as he took out even more Spirit Stones and Spiritual Grasses as he handed them over to Ning Cheng. This time Ning Cheng finally epted, then he cupped his fists in front of him and spoke in a loud voice, We are going to open the Killing Intent Restriction on this stone door, when the stone door is finally free of the restriction, then four people can go in at one time, at the moment there is still a spot left, if anyone wants toe in then please speak up. This action from the Essence Building 7th Level Cultivator, made Ning Cheng actually think of a way to earn Spirit Stones and Spiritual Grasses in a fast manner. Because at the moment he really did not have any Spirit Stones, moreover to breakthrough to the Essence Building Realm he had even borrowed 20,000 Spirit Stones from Yue Ying, and had still not returned them back to Yue Ying. After all he had a terrible rate of consumption for the Spirit Stones to supplement his cultivation, so he had to get these things from somewhere, right? This senior, I want to go in. Another Essence Building Cultivator arrived, while he carried a bulging Storage Bag in his hands. Chapter 0149 – Expensive Admission Ticket Chapter 0149: Expensive Admission Ticket Ning Cheng nced at the Storage Bag with his Spiritual Sense, although there were not many Spirit Stones in there, but it was filled to the brim with Spiritual Grasses, and most were not even low ranked ones, so he then put away the Storage Bag and said, Good, you can take one of the spots. With these two Essence Building Cultivatorsing at the beginning, a few of the cultivators present there who knew about Ning Chengs skill, one after another, immediately starteding forward, while also bringing out many things for Ning Cheng, all in order to enter the Ancient Immortal Mansion. Many of the cultivators who did not know Ning Cheng, totally could not understand the scene happening in front of them, as they all kept thinking what the hell was going on? One person said that he can break this Killing Intent Restriction, so why the hell did so many people believe him? One must know that this was a Killing Intent Restriction and not a Killing Intent Barrier, even if some of the Essence Building Cultivators teamed up, even they would not be able to break it? How could people be deceived with such a lie? In just a short period of time, Ning Cheng received seven or eight Storage Bags, seeing that there were still peopleing in from behind, Ning Cheng quickly said, Wait wait, let me first open the Restriction on the stone door, and let the first batch of people go in. Thats right, this should be done first. Several of the cultivators who came first hurried up and echoed out, they were afraid that they would only be able to obtain less if they go inter. But the red robed woman who was standing behind the ugly and ferocious looking cultivator suddenly came up to Ning Cheng and said, You said before that you would go first, and now you get so many people toe in, should these people really jump the queue? Did you forget the words that you yourself spoke a few moments ago? If you really think that its easy to bully us, then do not me us for making a move. While speaking till here, the expression of this young girl immediately turned ice cold. Ning Cheng knew that if their side went all in, then that really would be wrong. He quickly held up his cupped fists as he hastily spoke, Then I will ask this younger sister, how much time would you require to open this stone door? Who is your younger sister, watch your mouth. The red robed woman had still not answered, when the ugly and ferocious looking cultivator at Essence Building 5th Level once again came up to Ning Cheng and snapped. The red robe wearing young female cultivator waved her hand, she immediately understood Ning Chengs meaning, as she stared at Ning Cheng and spoke in a light voice, For me, at most half a stick of incense is enough. She knew that if she said that she required an hour of time, Ning Cheng would also probably say that he also required an hour of time. The corners of Ning Chengs mouth showed a faint smile, this young girl was simply a braggart and only liked to bluff. He hadprehended three different types of Axe Intents in the Angry Axe Valley. Moreover, his understanding towards Restrictions and Array Formations was also close to a Tier 3 Master, so he truly had the confidence to open the Killing Intent Restriction on this stone door. But for this young girl to say that she only needed the time for half an incense stick to burn, was definitely a bluff. But he still shrugged and said, Well, as long as I have the time of half an incense stick to burn, then during the time it takes for half an incense to burn, no matter what, I can open this stone door however many times I want. If I cannot open this even once, then I will give this position to younger sister. The red robed wearing young girl shed a smile, Yes, you can attack first, while I wait here. Saying that, she also threw an incense stick holder to one side. Then stretching out her hand, she ced an incense stick in it that she then ignited. Aromatic smoke rose up from it in coils as it diffused into the surroundings, after the surrounding cultivators smelt this fragrance, their spirits immediately shot up. All the people who could judge the quality of goods, immediately understood that this incense that this young girl brought out was not a simple incense stick, but rather it was clear that it was a rather expensive incense stick. She really was filthy rich, using such an expensive incense stick to measure the time. But Ning Cheng did not care about it. As he stood in front of the stone door, he raised his hand and immediately shot out a dozens of Array gs. When these Array gs entirely disappeared into the surroundings of the door in front of him, Ning Cheng immediately chopped down with his great axe, sending out a Light Golden Great Axe Trace, splitting open the stone doors Restriction in a very inconspicuous ce. Ka A light subtle sound conveyed out, the people outside immediately felt that the Killing Intent Restriction in front of the stone door immediately stagnate, and immediately a rich Spiritual Qi hit their faces from within. Ning Cheng then took a step forward, raising his hands to press the void in the middle of the Stone Door, he immediately turned back and said, The first four people go in. All the people were aware that a gap had opened up in this Killing Intent Restriction on the stone door. The four people who were already waiting for some time were all Essence Building Cultivators, and did not need to be reminded by Ning Chengs words, as they immediately moved sideways and disappeared through the door. The cultivator in the fifth ce who had also handed over the Spirit Stones and Spiritual Grasses hesitated, but finally did not go in. He was afraid that he might vite the meaning of Ning Chengs words identally, and would be directly eliminated from his spot. In any case, he could still go in with the next batch. But at this time all the cultivators near the front entrance were totally in shock at Ning Chengs skill, just what kind of ability was this? Before some of the people had even formed a team, and every time that one of the teams managed to passed through, they all ended up having to struggle desperately before they were able to go in, so how could this Ning Cheng be so carefree in such a way? He only sent out a few dozen Array gs, and then an Axe Chop to open it up, just how was this possible? Even though there were some cultivators here who knew about Ning Chengs ability, but even they could not believe what they saw. Although they thought that Ning Cheng would be able to go in, but it would have still costed him at least a few hands and feet. Because of this even more people began thinking of collecting many Spiritual Grasses and Spirit Stones, so that they could enter this Ancient Immortal Mansion. Simrly shocked was the red robe wearing young girl as she looked at Ning Cheng with an extreme shock in her eyes. She had never thought that even if they were able to break open the Killing Intent Restriction of this Immortal Mansion, moreover even if she herself was able to break it open, it would be absolutely impossible to do it as easily and as simple as it was done by Ning Cheng. Originally there was only disdain in her eyes towards him, but this time there were slight changes as she looked towards him. After the four of them went inside, Ning Cheng once more loosened his hands, and once more resorted to his Golden Great Axe, then sending out another Axe Chop, he once again turned to the four other cultivators who paid him in Spirit Stones and spoke, You can go in. When these four people heard Ning Chengs words, they with the maximum possible speed rushed through the middle of the opened stone door. Ning Cheng opened his palms, then lifted them up to take back the dozens of Array gs that he had thrown out, and then immediately stood to one side, and he spoke to the red robe wearing young girl and said, The following half of the incense stick is yours. In any case at this time the incense stick that the red robed wearing young girl burnt was already a little less than a half. On the surface Ning Cheng did not look like as if there was any change, but the fact was only known to himself, as he had consumed too much of his Spiritual Consciousness. When he had ced his hand on top of the stone door, he had to use it to resist the Killing Intent Restriction on the stone door. My friend, these are my Spirit Stones, next time please give me one of those ces. A True Condensation 9th Level cultivator, seeing Ning Cheng easily allow eight cultivators to enter this Ancient Immortal Mansion, so he quickly took out a Storage Bag with both hands and offered it to Ning Cheng. But Ning Cheng did not take the opposite partys Storage Bag, after he nced at it with his Spiritual Consciousness, and spoke in a light voice, To open this stone door, my consumption is not small. Therefore, to enter through this stone door you will have to bear the expense of at least 50,000 High Grade Spirit Stones, or Spiritual Grasses of the same value, otherwise it would only be a waste of time. This Ancient Immortal Mansions entrance had a Killing Intent Restriction ced on it, so once they entered inside this Ancient Immortal Mansion, it would really be strange if there were no additional Array Formations or Restrictions inside. Ning Cheng was not in a hurry to go in, what he needed the most were Spirit Stones for his cultivation, moreover even for Alchemy he needed a lot of Spiritual Grasses, so it would be better if he first fished for these things. As for the things inside the Immortal Mansion. As long as there was a simr kind restriction ced on them, then he would be able to obtain it. The surrounding cultivators sucked in a mouthful of cold air, who among the few people here coulde up with so many High Grade Spirit Stones? Except for a few people who were able to find the Spirit Stone Mine, only a few core disciples of 7 or more Star Academy would be able to take such an opportunity. This admission ticket was a little too high, right? This red robed young woman gave a nod, as she arrived in front of this stone door, and said to the two people with her, Ill feel it first, and see how to open this stone door. She believed that since Ning Cheng was able to open this stone door within the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, then she certainly would not have any problems in doing so. Before she came here, she had also simrly heard that this stone door had a Killing Intent Restriction ced on it. The others may be worried about this Killing Intent Restriction, but she was not even worried about it for even half a moment. As a core disciple from the White Moon Sword Sect, her understanding about Sword Intent was something that could not bepared to that of an ordinary person, even in terms of her cultivation regarding Restrictions, she was also much stronger than an ordinary cultivator. This red robed young girl closed her eyes as she stood in front of the stone door, all the people present there knew that she was looking for a gap in the Killing Intent Restriction present there. Just as the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn almost passed by, she suddenly opened her eyes. She found that the time it took for her half of the incense stick to burn was simply too short for her, she figured that she would require ten times the amount of time than the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, before she could even do something. But because she had already boasted about it, there was simply no room for her to change it. Junior Apprentice Sister Gu Lan, how is it? The ugly and fierce looking man hurriedly asked in an anxious voice, while his expression was as if he also cared very much about her. Ning Cheng who was standing to one side could clearly see what was happening, after the red robed young woman opened her eyes, she frowned slightly, it was apparent that she could not find a way to break open this stone door. But that man with a small white face who looked like a gigolo was quite sly. At this time, he did not even speak a few words. Lets attack this ce together. When the red robed young woman heard the words of that ugly and ferocious looking man, she suddenly pointed to a spot on the stone door and said. When Ning Cheng looked at the spot she had pointed to, heughed inwardly, this girl simply could not find a better location, but in order to not wanting to lose face, she simply pointed towards the spot on the stone door that he himself had used to break open twice. Junior Apprentice Sister Gu Lan, if all three of us attack together then I am afraid that the attacking power would simply be too big. It would be better if I alone among us try and attack that spot and see what happens. That man cultivator who looked like a gigolo, suddenly opened his mouth, and spoke with a very gentle tone. When the ugly and ferocious looking man heard this gigolo looking male cultivator speak, he also hurriedly spoke, Wu Shu is right, let us first try. Wu Shu, although your cultivation is a little higher than my own. But your True Essence is not as rich as my own, so let me be the person to try it out first. That gigolo looking male cultivator called Wu Shu, unexpectedly nodded and said, All right, Brother Zuo Hong Xuan is a cultivator who likes to use brute force. Perhaps there may really be some miraculous effect. Saying that, he pulled himself to the side, along with that red robe wearing young woman called Gu Lan and stood to one side. Ning Cheng at the moment wasughing inwardly, this person called Zuo Hong Xuan simply not only sold himself, but also needed help to count his money. When Zuo Hong Xuan saw the two of them believe in him, he became even more confident, as he directly resorted to his copper gong, and then banged it directly at the spot that the young girl had pointed to. The copper gong had quite the Imposing Manner and although it emitted a very powerful sound out of the blue, but that attack did not even open half a crack on the vast stone door. Crash...... But the next instant a sound simr to the one that was produced by the copper gong exploded out, some of the nearby cultivators, even had to cover up their own ears, as that sound was simply too terrible. Almost the next instant the Crash sound emerged, with an extremely fast speed, even more faster than the original, approached towards Zuo Hong Xuan. Before when Zuo Hong Xuan pounded out with his copper gong, he did not have any formidable Killing Intent in it, but this attack that approached him was filled a formidable and boundless Killing Intent, as a result this attack directly crashed onto the chest of Zuo Hong Xuan. Moreover, this Killing Intent was even felt by the cultivators who were still a bit far away from him. Zuo Hong Xuan did not even have the ability to resist such an attack for even half a moment, as he was immediately thrown out by this powerful counter attack by the shockwave that was simr to that of the copper gong. Puff...... A bloody light could be seen, there was an extremely deep bloody mark on the chest of Zuo Hong Xuan that was created by the iparably sharp edge of the copper gong, and the blood simply shot out like a fountain from it. The young girl was simply shocked, as she hurried over to him. She lifted her hand and selecting several Pills, simultaneously poured them into Zuo Hong Xuans mouth. One had to say that the efficiency of the Pills that this young girl had was really extremely astonishing, as in only a short time, Zuo Hong Xuans cut chest immediately stopped bleeding, and even Zuo Hong Xuan stood up albeit in a trembling manner. But the next instant, the people never thought that, the first thing that Zuo Hong Xuan did when he stood up, was to point at Ning Cheng and unexpectedly speak in a hate filled voice, You son of a bitch, you dare to deceive me, Zuo Hong Xuan. Chapter 0150 – The Strange Immortal Mansion Chapter 0150: The Strange Immortal Mansion Idiot. Ning Cheng was speechless as he shook his head, he could understand with a single nce that this guy liked that girl who was called Gu Lan, but his IQ really was worrying, moreover this young girl apparently did not know what she meant to him. As for this fellow who had been deceived, Ning Cheng also understood his meaning. His Axe Chop had obviously opened a hole in the Restriction, and this Zuo Hong Xuan also had attacked at the same ce that he had used the Axe Chop on, but the result was he was counter attacked and suffered injuries, moreover he almost had even lost his life. This guy could obviously would not me this red robed girl, and as such could only speak out with the artistic ir of rare and beautiful flowers saying that he was the one who had deceived him. But Ning Cheng was simply not interested in his criticisms, since this Zuo Hong Xuan said that he had deceived him, why couldnt he even think that the red robed woman was lying to him? With this kind of worryingly low IQ,bined with that gigolo looking male cultivator called Wu Shu and the red robed young woman, Ning Cheng really felt a bit sorry for this guy. All the people around were speechless, as they silently shook their head. This fellow had obviously been clouded over by hispanion, moreover he also did not seem like a person that liked to be reminded by a woman, and as such he ended up confusing the person to direct his hate. Fortunately, this guy knew that after the injuries that he suffered, he simply was not Ning Chengs opponent, so after calling out, he also found that hispanion had also not echoed out with him, as such he could only feel dejected as he focussed on his own healing. This red robed young woman also looked at Ning Cheng with a bit of prestige in her eyes. She had already taken up the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, as such she did not dare to continue forcibly upy this stone door. Although she was sure, that if she was given enough time, then she could definitely open the Restriction on this stone door. Ning Cheng once again stood before the stone door, and although there were many cultivators who wanted to buy tickets from him, but only an extremely few people coulde up with the 50,000 High Grade Spirit Stone price to purchase an admission ticket from him. Besides the eight individuals from before, only two more cultivators were able toe up with some things worth 50,000 High Grade Spirit Stones for Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng received the things, and then once again said to the two cultivators who had given him the Spirit Stones, This time the four of us will go inside. Once the door is opened, you can advance first. Me and my Junior Apprentice Sister will follow behind you. Ning Cheng already had the experience of opening this stone door twice. As a result, it was much more easy for him to break open this stone door once again. The instant the stone door opened, the two cultivators who gave him the Spirit Stones quickly rushed into the stone door, but at this moment just as Meng Jing Xiu was preparing to rush through the stone door, when suddenly a silhouette of a person shed by her side. Clearly this person wanted to seize this opportunity to enter this Immortal Mansion. The Imposing Manner of this man who was rushing towards the door was extremely powerful, moreover his speed was also very fast, although Meng Jing Xiu was unable to react, but subconsciously she immediately moved towards the side. This persons shadow almost passed by Meng Jing Xius side, while at the same time arrived at the entrance of the stone door. But at this moment Ning Chengs response was very quick, it was as if he really did not see this rushing cultivator, and just waved his palms slightly. Peng...... A dull thumping sound was heard, as the cultivator who was rushing towards the door was directly pushed away as if was he round ball. But unlike what the other cultivators expected, after he was pushed away, he did not fly far away, and only a went a few feet back, before he fell to the ground. The surrounding cultivators then came to understand, that this person wanted to cut in. Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, you can go in. Ning Cheng called out to Meng Jing Xiu in a deep voice. Meng Jing Xiu immediately came to understand. As she hurriedly rushed inside through the stone door, while Ning Cheng was the fourth one to go in. But before going in, without taking any extra trouble, he simply recalled the Array gs that he had thrown out previously. The Killing Intent Restriction on the stone door once again was restored back to its original state, at which point they discovered that that cultivator was thrown back several feet once again by the Killing Intent Restriction on the stone door, moreover there were even a few deep gashes on that cultivator along with many nearby to him, and only until this time, did they notice that the ground beneath them waspletely cracked open, and was filled with blood dripping from them. All the people sucked in cold air, this kind of counter attack from the Killing Intent Restriction was simply extraordinary, not only did it not kill just a single person, it had brought death to many. However most of the cultivators were excited by the Killing Intent that had exploded out in a counter attack, and even created an obvious scar with the Killing Intent. At this moment the cultivator who had tried to cut in was already sliced into several pieces, such a sight was simply unprecedented to them. That red robed young woman called Gu Lan, when she looked at this cultivator who was thrown to the ground not far from her, even her eyes shed with a trace of fear. However, she quickly calmed herself, she did not even turn her head towards her injured male cultivator before saying, Senior Apprentice Brother Wu, I will use my own Sword Intent to resist the Killing Intent here, you keep notice of the Killing Intent Restriction loosening up, once it appears that it has loosened up, I will also remind you right away, and you can immediately begin. Wu Shu spoke in a very crisp voice, OK, Junior Sister Apprentice Gu Lan can certainly open this Stone Doors Restriction. Although I would not be able to support you with my full strength, but to deal with this Restriction on the Stone Door, I can at least offer some strength. When Zuo Hong Xuan heard that Wu Shu and Junior Apprentice Sister Gu Lan were going to coborate together, he immediately became anxious in his heart, and as such quickly spoke up. Wu Shu was just about to speak, when he heard the red robe wearing young girl nod and speak, You also can help us, although Hong Xuan is injured, he can still follow along and attack at the Senior Apprentice Brothers position. Hearing that he can also get involved with them, Zuo Hong Xuan pped his chest indicating that it certainly would not be a problem. This time there was no time limit on the red robed young girl, as a result she simply stood in front of this stone door for an entire half an hour, while constantly using her Sword Intent to probe the Killing Intent Restriction on the Stone Door. After half an hour, the red robed wearing young girls expression was already pale as she pointed towards a particr spot and said once more, Right there, attack...... Zuo Hong Xuan and Wu Shu almost simultaneously resorted to their magic weapons as they immediately exploded out at the spot pointed out by the red robed young girl, but then a fearful Axe Intent burst out, whichpletely engulfed the young girls Sword Intent, the powerful Axe Intent immediately set the three people flying, and did not even allow them even half a momentsg to let them escape. Zuo Hong Xuan was already seriously injured, so this time when he was once again sted at by such a powerful counter attack, he was immediately thrown to the ground, as he continually vomited out blood but simply could not get up again. The red robed young girl was also not in much better shape, as she was also thrown back by this formidable Killing Intent, as a nearly foot-long bloody gash appeared diagonally on her chest, as it directly cut through her undergarments down to the bone. The one with the lightest injuries was Wu Shu, unexpectedly because the main brunt of the attack was bored by the other two, as a result Wu Shu suffered only a scar on his arm, moreover it was not even a major wound. Wu Shu basically did not look at anyone else, as he quickly arrived by the side of the red robed young woman. He immediately took out a healing pill and anxiously spoke, Junior Apprentice Sister Gu Lan, take this Healing Pill. With this your injury should not matter right? Seeing Wu Shus extremely serious demeanour, the red robed young woman took the pill and said, Im fine, but this time I brought trouble for you. Seeing Wu Shu and Junior Apprentice Sister Gu Lan console andfort each other, although Zuo Hong Xuan was lying on the ground, he also wanted to beforted by Junior Apprentice Sister, it was a pity that the injury that he suffered this time was simply too serious. Never mind me, we can try and see again. Wu Shu waited for the red robed young woman to bind her wound and spoke. The eyes of the red robed young girl flickered with sadness, as she shook her head and said, It would be needless for us to try again, this Killing Intent Restriction is not something that I can break open. If I could break open this Restriction, then at this moment all three of us would be inside the Immortal Mansion. If I had known that this would happened, I might as well...... The red robed wearing young girl did not finish the rest of her words, but even then Wu Shu could still understand her meaning. If they had known about this then, they would have definitely offered some Spirit Stones to that damned guy, and could have bought the admission ticket, but now it was simply toote. ...... After Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu entered the Stone Door through the Killing Intent Restriction, they immediately felt an extremely rich Spiritual Qi, it almost made both of them want to go into closed door cultivation then and there. The ce the two of them were standing was in the middle of a circr room, although they looked all around the room with their eyes, but they could not find any passage. What happened to those people who came with us? Meng Jing Xiu nced all around the room only to find that there was no one besides them, even the two people who entered with them were nowhere to be seen. Ning Cheng had also simultaneously discovered this issue, but his reaction speed was much faster, so much so that Meng Jing Xiu simply could notpare to, as he immediately pulled Meng Jing Xiu back and held her to his bosom. Meng Jing Xiu had not yet reacted, when she felt her whole body covered in a light, while at the same time she immediately started feeling a bit of dizziness. Although Meng Jing Xiu was also a True Condensation Cultivator, moreover even for a True Condensation Cultivator, herprehension ability was also very high. So in this kind of situation how could she not know that she and Ning Cheng were being transferred away by a Transfer Array? She immediately understood that when Ning Cheng hugged her, it was to prevent them from being separated from each other. Because of the intense dizziness that was spreading throughout her, it made Meng Jing Xius consciousness somewhat fuzzy, even Ning Cheng could only hold onto a shred of his consciousness, before this Space Transfer Array sent them away. Bang Ning Cheng felt as is his entire body go loose in an instant, as a result he could not help but involuntarily fall down, as he appeared on top of a bulging blue rock. Ning Chengs body shook a few times, as he almost took a few steps forwards because of the inertia. Perhaps if he had not been aware of his position, then he might have already involuntarily taken a few steps forward. At this moment, the ce he was standing at only had a radius of less than one foot, but even with a person standing on this big rock, they simply would not be able to see the deep ck chasm that was in front of them immediately. Ning Cheng suddenly broke out in cold sweat, he knew that the ce that he appeared, if he had taken even one step forward in any direction, he would have fallen into the endlessly deep ck chasm that was in front of them. Not only the ck chasm was endlessly deep but even when using his Spiritual Consciousness to his maximum he still could not sweep out till the end, moreover there was even a gloomy Killing Intent emanating from it. Because of this Killing Intent, Ning Cheng felt that once he fell into this chasm, he would certainly die, moreover even his bones would not be left behind. Ning Cheng subconsciously shivered as he thought, what the hell was this ce? It resembled the description of theherworld hell that he had read off, is this Ancient Immortal Mansion really such gloomy ce? In this terrible ce, if he had not hugged Meng Jing Xiu, then with Meng Jing Xius strength, if she were to be sent to a ce like this, then she would have definitely ended up dead. Once she arrived here she really would not have been able to stabilize herself. He once again swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness but found that his Spiritual Consciousness could onlye out with great difficulty, moreover he could only sweep out to a certain extent, and no matter what he did he could not extend it any farther than that. In his sweep with his Spiritual Consciousness range, all he found was an empty dark chasm. Not only that, from the depths of the chasm, there seemed to a be suction force pulling on them. At this time Meng Jing Xiu finally came around, as she took in the situation around her, she asked in a trembling way, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, where did we ended up transferred to, how could it be so fearful? Ning Cheng had already calmed himself down, it seems that whoever arranged this ce wanted the people who entered to die, well regardless of it being so troublesome, for them to be transferred here, there should have been a special reason. He spoke as he held onto the hands of Meng Jing Xiu, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, with your cultivation level, you would not be able to do anything in this ce. Either you can wait for me here or I carry you on my back, moreover whatever the choice, you still would have to be extremely careful here. Meng Jing Xiu had already calmed her down, and even her expression turned gentle as she spoke, I know, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning. Ning Cheng, disying extreme skill, ced Meng Jing Xiu on his back, and at the same time secured Meng Jing Xiu to him with a strap to keep her fixed in ce. Seeing with how much skill Ning Cheng was operating in, Meng Jing Xiu suddenly asked, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, do you often carry people on your back? Chapter 0151 – Instant Rise in Spiritual Consciousness Chapter 0151 C Instant Rise in Spiritual Consciousness Ning Cheng suddenly looked at Meng Jing Xiu in a very strange manner as he thought of how this thing was rted, but he still gave an En sound and replied, I often carry people on my back, counting you, it would be the fifth person for me to carry on my back. When Meng Jing Xiu asked about this matter, Ning Cheng was once again reminded of Ning Ruo Lan, he had carried her on his back innumerable times, now he simply was at a loss. But a pale and weak looking ray of light suddenly interrupted Ning Chengs thoughts, this weak ray of light swept towards the side of Ning Cheng. But this weak ray of light gave Ning Cheng a sense of extreme danger, Ning Cheng did not think of anything else, and immediately started to descend. Because Ning Cheng suddenly started to descend without any warning, Meng Jing Xiu involuntarily jerked her head to the side, directly looking at the endless Killing Intent emanating from the endlessly deep chasm. If she was an ordinary cultivator, then she would have already screamed and fainted on the spot. Meng Jing Xius face immediately turned pale, she knew that once she fell into that ck hole of a chasm, then it was certain death for her. At this point Ning Chengs feetnded on a stone brick that was notrger than a foot wide, while his posture was ramrod straight while the stone brick made an angle of 45 degrees with the slope. But even though his feet were on the stone brick, it was as if he had stuck his feet into it, preventing him from falling into the deep ravine. Ning Cheng had just jumped down, when that light ray just grazed past Ning Chengs nose, it even cut a few strands of Ning Chengs hair as they danced by him in the wind. When this ray of light finally went past, Ning Cheng was once again standing atop the brick, but this time his forehead was covered with tiny beads of sweat. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, that ray of light seemed to have been formed from a trace of Killing Intent...... Meng Jing Xiu spoke with a small voice in Ning Chengs ear. Ning Cheng also spoke in a sinking voice, Just now the Killing Intent present here had formed into an Axe Trace, I think that this is something that came from the ck hole like deep valley, I did not think that we had to take precautions against the Axe Traces formed from the Killing Intent. It seems that wanting to leave from this ce will be very difficult. There was still a sentence that Ning Cheng did not speak. Just now that single Axe Trace formed from Killing Intent had taken the form of a weak ray of light formed out of Killing Intent. Once he met this kind of an Axe Trace formed from the Killing Intent but without the form of the ray of light formed from the Killing Intent, then it would really be difficult for him to dodge. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I believe that even the heavens will never bar ones way, looking here this ce is certainly made artificially. There definitely must be a way for a person toe out of this artificial arrangement, otherwise it would absolutely be impossible for that exceptional person to get out. If the way out for that person was really cut out, then there really would not be this green brick for us to stop and rest. Meng Jing Xiu consoled Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng shook his head and said, Here not all the things arepletely man made, like these green bricks below our feet. Perhaps these are a part of arge Array Formation that was arranged out here, but as for the Killing Intent that ising from the depths of the chasm, maybe it is something that had already existed here since before. I doubt that this person had built his Immortal Mansion here, as this chasm seems to be only a bottomless ck hole. Just what kind of use does this chasm even have? Meng Jing Xiu had almost forgotten the situation that she and Ning Cheng were in. You can use it to cultivate Killing Intent, and it would even be more effective than trying to cultivate Killing Intent outside, but my experience is limited, as such I have yet to figure out what other uses are there for this chasm. Ning Cheng said, as he looked at this chasm, he felt that cultivating ones Killing Intent in this ce would give the best result. Just as Ning Cheng was speaking. Several Axe Traces condensed from Killing Intent swept towards them, moreover among them there were even one or two that did not form any rays of light. Fortunately, Ning Cheng was extremely cautious. And as such he was able to evade these rays of Axe Traces. Meng Jing Xiu who was strapped to Ning Chengs back was already very clear, that the things here were not as simple as she had made it out to be. She suddenly said, Big Brother Ning, if you put me down, will you be able to leave this ce? Ning Chengughed, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, you simply think too much. I am a person who will never abandon my own friends, much less a junior sister from the Academy where I am a Senior Apprentice Brother. If you want to go out, then everybody will go out together, if you cannot go out, then I will also stay together with you here. Besides, this ce is filled with Axe Shadows formed with Killing Intent, even if we wanted to leave, just where can we go from here? Meng Jing Xiu was silent, she suddenly found that she was the one who did not understand Ning Cheng the most. Ning Cheng also did not speak again, as he continued to stretch out his Spiritual Consciousness, and tried to resist the gloomy Killing Intenting from within the depths of this chasm, moreover he also had to be prepared and was always on the lookout in the surroundings for the Axe Traces made from Killing Intent. The two people finally turned silent, Meng Jing Xiu was silent because she was thinking of some other things, while Ning Cheng was silent because he was putting his entire mind at dealing with those Axe Traces condensed from Killing Intent which did not have any tell-tale signs. After an unknown amount of time, Meng Jing Xiu once again opened her mouth and suddenly said, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, what would happen if we cant get out? Ning Cheng was silent for a good long while and then replied, At the moment I am not sure if we would be able to get out or not, but until thest moment, I will never give up. Meng Jing Xiu made an en sound, and asked again, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, you said that you had carried five people on your back, were all of them girls? That is true. Ning Cheng truthfully answered. Are they all your friends? Meng Jing Xiu once again asked. Ning Cheng said after a moment of thought, urately speaking two of them cannot be regarded as my friends, and the remaining three are my friends, moreover you also know two of them. Who are they? Meng Jing Xiu seemed to be insistent on questioning, as if she had repressed those question to the back of her mind for a long time. They are Yue Ying and Ji Luo Fei, you should have already known about them, other than them there was a little nun by the name of An Yi, a lovely and cute girl. Just as Ning Cheng was reminded of An Yi, his mind turned into a nk sheet of paper, he did not know what had be of An Yi now. Then who among those are not considered as your friend? Ning Cheng then immediately remembered Ning Ruo Lan and Ji Luo Fei, and his heart immediately started missing them, but he still casually replied, They are my sister Ning Ruo Lan and my fiance Ji Luo Fei, they are my family. If one must say who were his closest family, then Ning Cheng could easily say that they were Ning Ruo Lan and Ji Luo Fei. As long as he could get out of this ce, then he could go see Ji Luo Fei, but as for Ruo Lan, there was a possibility that he may never be able to see her again. Hearing Ning Cheng mention his younger sister and fiance, the emotions between them seemed to have some fluctuations. Meng Jing Xiu was tactful and did not continue to ask more questions, and started thinking of her own affairs. Yi!!...... After a long silence, Ning Cheng suddenly gave out a surprised sound. What happened, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning? Meng Jing Xiu quickly asked. Ning Cheng was pleasantly surprised and said, I understand, here not only one canprehend the Axe Intent, this ce can also be used to cultivate the Axe Intent, moreover it can also be helpful in cultivating ones Spiritual Consciousness, unexpectedly this world actually has such a good ce. Thinking of Meng Jing Xius cultivation, Ning Cheng once again said, My Spiritual Consciousness has been in constant use, but even though my Spiritual Consciousness is getting exhausted, but I am still able to continue extending my Spiritual Consciousness. Moreover, there is a special kind of aura here, after your Spiritual Consciousness is extended to a certain extent, the aura here will actively take the initiative to nourish ones Spiritual Consciousness. In other words, it will allow you to continuously cultivate ones Spiritual Consciousness, Im sure that my own Spiritual Consciousness has already grown a lot. After such a long time, Ning Cheng felt his Spiritual Consciousness has definitely grown a lot, if felt that if he cultivated here for a long term, then wouldnt his Spiritual Consciousness be so strong that it could even go against the heavens? Here this ce really prevented Spiritual Consciousness to extend to a farther ce, but initially he had stopped trying to extend his Spiritual Consciousness in this ce, if he could extend his own Spiritual Consciousness to stretch farther, then wouldnt it not mean that his Spiritual Consciousness had increased? Meng Jing Xiu quickly put aside her messy ideas, and learning from Ning Cheng quickly extended out her own Spiritual Sense. Sure enough, she also felt that there was a gentle aura that was nourishing her Spiritual Sense. This kind of aura that nourishes the Spiritual Consciousness, also contains a hint of Killing Intent, it should be a cultivator who specialized in using Spiritual Consciousness to attack, who had ended up finding this ce, and used it to cultivate his Spiritual Consciousness. Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, you cultivate your own Spiritual Sense, I will cultivate my Spiritual Consciousness. If my Spiritual Consciousness can finally extend to a farther distance, then it is possible that we can even find a ce to exit from. Ning Cheng spoke out his own viewpoint. Meng Jing Xiu did not wait for the reminder from Ning Cheng and immediately extended her Spiritual Sense, and started to cultivate. Meng Jing Xiu was not a naive cultivator, of course, she knew of the powerful benefits of Spiritual Consciousness. Time slowly passed by as Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu slowly cultivated, Ning Cheng continued to avoid some of the Axe Trace formed from Killing Intent while also constantly trying to extend the scope of his Spiritual Consciousness. After a long time, Ning Chengs Spiritual Consciousness suddenly touched upon an invisible barrier. Ka A sound of breaking was transmitted from Ning Chengs Sea of Consciousness, Ning Chengs Spiritual Consciousness felt as if it suddenly broke through this barrier, and extended out to a whole new world. A simr green bricked tform appeared in the middle of Ning Chengs Spiritual Consciousness, Ning Cheng immediately became pleased in his heart, and hurriedly spoke, I found the nice ce to stop for some rest, well stay there for a while. Ning Cheng did not wait for Meng Jing Xiu to reply, and immediately took out a Flying Sword and immediately started flying on it towards the green brick tform that he had seen a moment ago. A powerful suction force created from the Killing Intent present there almost pulled Ning Cheng along with the Flying Sword into the depths of the valley. Fortunately, Ning Chengs Spiritual Consciousness could not bepared to before, as it had advanced by more than one grade. Under the influence of his True Essence and the superimposition of his Spiritual Consciousness, the Flying Sword quickly got rid of this powerful suction force, and in just a twinkling of an eye arrived at that ce. Ning Cheng, at this moment, was standing on the newly discovered tform, and once more found out that his Spiritual Consciousness was prevented from extending far, this made Ning Cheng more and more affirmative, that this ce was definitely to purify and cultivate ones Spiritual Consciousness. Over the past three days, Ning Cheng did not know how many times he had encountered such a brick tform, but he affirmed that once he left this ce, his Spiritual Consciousness would once again double in strength. His Spiritual Consciousness was already strong, then if it doubled once again, then just how powerful would it be? Ning Cheng suddenly felt looking forward to shing with that the gloomy Killing Intent in the chasm all around them, his Spiritual Consciousness was strong, but it did not mean that his real strength was also strong, what he needed at this moment most was real strength. When Ning Cheng once again dropped atop a green square tform, that Axe Trace formed from the Killing Intent once again swept towards them. This kind of Axe Trace formed from the Killing Intent, Ning Cheng had already got ustomed to it, as in the past several days, he simply did not know how many times he had experienced this kind of Axe Trace formed from the Killing Intent, moreover although these swept towards him several times but he only received minor injuries. But Ning Cheng soon found that there was something different, this time this particr Axe Trace formed from Killing Intent and the Axe Trace formed from the Killing Intent from earlier werepletely different, this Axe Trace formed from the Killing Intent did not just brush past him like the previous times, but rather it seemed to have directly locked onto him. Ning Cheng had clearly avoided this Axe Trace formed from the Killing Intent, but that Killing Intent inside it seemed to have a will of its own as it actually circled back in an instant, and brushed past Ning Chengs waist, leaving behind a wound that was not light. Ning Chengs True Essence was in constant cirction in his body, so when the wound suddenly broke open, the blood that was already rapidly circting throughout his body instantly sputtered out. Ning Cheng did not know if he was actually hurt or not, as he stood there nkly on top of the brick tform, as if he was thinking of an extremely important affair. Chapter 0152 – Taking Care Of The Abandoned Soul Essence Chapter 0152: Taking Care Of The Abandoned Soul Essence Meng Jing Xiu who was on Ning Chengs back quickly stopped the bleeding wound, while simultaneously taking out a Spiritual Grass, crushing it and spreading it atop the wound evenly. I understand. Ning Cheng said as if he suddenly came to realize something, and started muttering to himself. What did you understand? Meng Jing Xiu subconsciously asked a question. Ning Cheng suddenlyughed and spoke, The Killing Intent here is controlled, as long as your Spiritual Consciousness is formidable enough, then even its movement would be flexible enough. This ce originally was for the cultivation of ones Spiritual Consciousness, in addition to gaining enlightment on the Spiritual Consciousness attacks, there is also such a benefit. He at once sent out three Axe Chops filled with Killing Intent of the Angry Axe, finally he came to the realisation that he could control their movements to a certain extent, which meant that even in the face of a more powerful opponent, he would still have some leeway to swivel about. If he really could achieve this, then wouldnt his strength once again increase by more than double? Perhaps this increase might even be several folds. Moreover I also came to know about another thing. Ning Cheng suddenly remembered the Lan Yi Countrys Imperial Jade Seal, he finally was able to figure out a way to refine the Imperial Jade Seal. The Restriction ced on the Imperial Jade Seal was truly of a higher level, a cultivator with a poor cultivation simply should not think of trying to refine it, but now that he was able toprehend the Axe Type Killing Intent, then once he used it to refine the Imperial Jade Seal, then wouldnt he not seed? Whats the matter? Meng Jing Xiu asked again. This time Ning Cheng did not answer her, but simply gave a chuckle and said, We can go out now. Here he had finallyprehended how to control the Killing Intent, as such he could now freely fly over this chasm, moreover those Axe Traces materialised from the Killing Intent that came out towards them at random times simply had now lost their effect on him. Indeed, Meng Jing Xiu discovered that Ning Cheng speed had increased several folds than before, and in just a short period of time, Ning Cheng finallynded on the ground. When Meng Jing Xiu turned her head to look back, she found those green brick tforms along with the rays of Axe Traces materialised from Killing Intent, all of them disappeared without a single trace as if they never existed in the first ce. Moreover, the spot that they were standing in seemed to a levelled field, and although the Spiritual Qi surrounding them was rich, it was still a far cry from the feeling that they got when they had just entered the through the stone door. Did we reallye out? Meng Jing Xiu could not bear it in her heart and called out it a pleasantly surprised manner. Ning Cheng put Meng Jing Xiu down and said, If I have not guessed wrong, then this ce here is the real remains of the Ancient Immortal Mansion, if you look around you wille to know...... Meng Jing Xiu, without needing to be reminded by Ning Cheng, had already nced around. At present there was a Spiritual Grass garden that was neither big nor small in front of them that was built around a small wooden house that was constructed from a sort of wood that they couldnt recognize. I can even see a stub of a Rank 7 Spiritual Grass...... Meng Jing Xiu called out in surprise. Ning Cheng sighed and spoke, There is not only a single Rank 7 Spiritual Grasses here, but there still are many more Rank 7 and above Spiritual Grasses in this ce. But its a pity that they all are dead...... It was then that Meng Jing Xiu discovered that the Rank 7 Spiritual Grass that she had discovered had already withered, she immediately took a few steps forward and arrived next to the Rank 7 Spiritual Grass, but found that this stub of Rank 7 Spiritual Grass was just as Ning Cheng had said, it had long lost all of its Spiritual Nature. Whats going on? Meng Jing Xiu turned around and subconsciously asked a question. Ning Cheng spoke in a dejected tone, Thats because there is a shortage of Spiritual Qi here. All the Spiritual Qi had already been long since absorbed by the Spiritual Grasses here. Moreover, High Ranked Spiritual Grasses require enormous amounts of Spiritual Qi, especially if they had just withered away, just so that they could sprout again. I dont know how many years of abandonment this ce had experienced, but the Spiritual Grasses simply withered one after another. Finally, as the Spiritual Qi here got thinner and thinner, the High Ranked Spiritual Grasses were the first ones that started to wither, to the point that they would not be able to germinate again no matter what was done. If we hade at ater point of time, then there is a good chance that even the Level 6 Spiritual Grasses here would not be left. Meng Jing Xiu also sighed, although in the Yi Xing Maind, some Spiritual Grasses can grow for tens of thousands of years, but they can only do so under a particr environment. Moreover, the surroundings could not have any other kind of Spiritual Grasses, if the Spiritual Grasses here grew for tens of thousands of years, and they were even surrounded by other Spiritual Grasses that also grew for tens of thousands of years, this ce would have definitely been a ce extremely rich in Spiritual Essence. Although we entered this ancient ruins muchter, but it seems that we are the first to reach this ce. Ning Cheng looked around the abandoned and empty ce, and spoke in a slightly contented manner. When they finally arrived, the end result was that they were the first to arrive at this Immortal Mansion. Meng Jing Xiu said joyfully, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, let us hurry up and collect the Spiritual Grasses. Ning Cheng shook his head and spoke, Since this is the Immortal Mansion, then it definitely contains some good things. Let us first go into the log cabin, and afterwards we cane and collect the Spiritual Grasses here. ...... Meng Jing Xiu also followed Ning Cheng and entered the wooden cabin. The inside of the wooden cabin was very spacious, but it only had a wooden table in the middle of it. On the wooden table there were two rings, other than those, there were nothing else inside. These are two Storage Rings...... Meng Jing Xiu spoke in a surprised way. Other than a few core disciples of somerge Academies, Storage Rings were simply a luxury for Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu, the attraction for them was simply too big. Ning Cheng used his Spiritual Consciousness to sweep at those two rings, and confirmed that they indeed were two Storage Rings. Meng Jing Xiu did not reach out towards it with her hands. But rather looked at Ning Cheng. To her, the one who called the shots between them was Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng was staring at those two Storage Rings, and suddenly felt a bit awkward in his heart. Moreover, one of these Storage Rings gave a somewhat familiar feeling to him, but this kind of familiar feeling was difficult to state out clearly. After Ning Cheng looked at those rings for quite a while, suddenly he grabbed one of them with his hand. And instantly a faintly discernible yet obscure aura directly seeped into the middle of Ning Chengs Zifu, this kind of sensation, Ning Cheng felt it for the first time. His Meridians were remoulded by the Mysterious Yellow Origin, as such this kind of faintly discernible aura, was not something that could fool his senses. He immediately realized that this aura was not a good thing, Ning Cheng subconsciously made the Star River to immediately swallow this aura. In fact, even without the instructions from Ning Cheng, the Star River in his Zifu was already eager to have a go at it, it was as if this Star River seemed to have sensed that the vour of this aura was something very tempting. Now that it had got permission from Ning Cheng, the Star River suddenly shot out a strand of steaming hot Qi from inside his Zifu, immediately trying to swallow up that vague aura. That vague aura was like a person with their butts on fire, as if it had received an electric shock, it immediately tried to escape from Ning Chengs Zifu. But even with such a speed, the Star River still gobbled up 99% of this vague aura. You unexpectedly have such a terrible fire, just who in the world are you....... A hoarse voice filled with horror resounded throughout the cabin, as a faint shadow of a person appeared in the middle of the log cabin. This is a Soul Essence, it almost took possession ...... Meng Jing Xius face immediately turned pale, as she subconsciously took several steps back. Her cultivation was not high, but that did not mean that she did not understand what possession was. Just a moment ago it had tried to possess one of them, but for some unknown reason, the possession was not sessful. But at this moment Ning Cheng was extremely calm, this Soul Essence had rushed into his Zifu for hiding, and then wanted to seek an opportunity to seize his body, but what it had not actually thought of was that when this Soul Essence entered his Zifu, it would be immediately be discovered by him. At this point this Soul Essence was almost 99% swallowed by the Star River, as such he could easily kill this Soul Essence whenever he wanted to, because of which he was not much worried, and just asked in a slow and calm voice, Did you just wanted to seize my body? What are you looking at, this father will seize your body just by looking at you. Obediently let this father seize your body, it would only be your good fortune. Although this Soul Essence was extremely weak, but the way it talked was very arrogant. Ning Cheng simply pointed to one of the rings on the table and asked in a cold voice, Where is the owner of this ring? He already knew who this ring belonged to, the aura in this ring and the trace of aura that he had felt from the mirror that he had obtained previously was exactly the same. In other words, this ring and that mirror should have the same owner. Since this ring was here, then where did its master go? At present, this weak and thin looking Soul Essence was the biggest suspect. Haha, Han Xian, that slut, she was raped and killed by this father....... This Soul Essence was still arrogant as he shouted out, but this time without any hesitation Ning Cheng shot out a lump of me towards him. The Soul Essence uttered a miserable and pitiful cry, as he cursed at Ning Cheng while still being osted by the mes. Ning Cheng suddenly felt that something was not right, as he suddenly took back the mes. As Ning Cheng took back the mes, the Soul Essence subconsciously asked, Why dont you continue and burn me? Hearing these words, Ning Cheng immediately felt a shiver run down his spine, this Soul Essence a moment ago was not weakened under his me, on the contrary it was actually being strengthened. It seemed that for this Soul Essence, his true fire of Essence Building Realm was not a killing artefact, but rather it turned into a tonic that nourished him, if he hadnt found it early on, then after the other party was unknowingly nourished by him, then perhaps he might have been able to kill him and Meng Jing Xiu. The Star River would be able to cope with this Soul Essence, but only if it entered his Zifu, but that did not mean that the Soul Essence could not deal with him with its freedom. Hearing the other partys subconscious words, Ning Cheng affirmed that his guess was really correct. Even if he had many questions, he did not dare to continue to ask, immediately a strong force from the Star River in his Zifu immediately rushed out, as he determined that he must kill this Soul Essence. The Star River once again brought out a strand of terrible hot Qi, directly enveloping the Soul Essencepletely inside it. You cannot kill me....... This time the Soul Essence finally started to panic, Ning Chengs Essence Building True Fire although was hot but it was still a kind of nourishing tonic for it, but the me Qi from the Star River was actually a bane for him. He basically did not have the ability to resist it for even half a moment. Regarding this Soul Essences begging for mercy, Ning Cheng was not soft hearted for even half a moment. This fellow in quite sly, I almost fell for his word. Afterpletely destroying this Soul Essence, Ning Cheng finally put away the Star River, as he spoke with a bit of lingering fear. From the other partys single sentence, he could determine right away that he might have had a sort of crush on Han Xian, but because of his own infuriations at the beginning, it seems that he ended up being burned by his own mes from the inside. Who is Han Xian? As that Soul Essence waspletely destroyed by Ning Cheng, Meng Jing Xius anxious mood finally calmed down. If I have not guessed it wrong, she should be the owner of this ring. Ning Cheng said, as he picked up the other ring. Meng Jing Xiu did not ask, as she believed everyone to have their own privacy. The ring that Ning Cheng had obtained before, he gave it to Meng Jing Xiu as he spoke, You can keep this ring, while I take the ring left behind by Han Xian, she and I have a bit of a connection. Ning Cheng had managed to escape to the Immortal Mansion at the bottom of that river and had healed himself there, moreover he had even advanced to the Essence Building Realm there, as such he had a bit of goodwill towards Han Xian in his heart. Meng Jing Xiu waved her hand, as she took out a ring hanging against her chest around her neck and said, I do not want this ring, I already have my own ring, its just that I did not dare to take it out. Ning Cheng stared at the ring hanging from Meng Jing Xius neck against her chest, as he suddenly thought in his heart, why does each and every woman hide their ring in this ce? When Meng Jing Xiu saw Ning Cheng stare at her chest, she blushed, and quickly put the ring back inside against her chest. Ning Cheng suddenly frowned, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, lets get out of here, someone ising over. When Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu came out of the log cabin, two shadows of human figures who were confronting each other suddenly turned to stare at Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu. From the surprise in their eyes one could tell what the two men were thinking, the two men did not believe that some people had managed to arrive at this ce before them. Chapter 0153 – Genius Killer Chapter 0153: Genius Killer Meng Jing Xiu spoke to Ning Cheng in a low voice, I know these two people, one of them is a genius from the Dragon and Phoenix 9 Star Academy, Cui Nie Ping, and the other is a genius from the Gui Yuan City, Gui Yu Tang. They were the first people to enter through the Killing Intent Restriction on the stone door. 9 Star Academy? Ning Cheng repeated the phrase in surprise. When he was still in the Cang Qin Province, he had read some notes on the 8 Star Academies in the Yi Xing Maind, and now people from even the 9 Star Academy appeared before him. Meng Jing Xiu gave an En sound and continued, Along with the 9 Star Academy, I heard that these two ces, along with the Wu Nian Academy that Yue Ying entered, are the Le Continents three major powers. Ning Cheng then asked once again, You say that this Gui Yuan City is also very great? Moreover, on the same level as a 9 Star Academy? That I do not know, I only know about them because I heard the talks of the people around me when these two people broke through the Killing Intent Restriction ced on the stone door of the Immortal Mansion. I just heard that Gui Yuan City was not just an individual city, but rather the fact is that this Gui Yuan City ispletely owned by the family n with the surname Gui. So that was the case, for a family n to be on an equal footing with a 9 Star Academy, it seems that this family n really was very remarkable. Ning Cheng then suddenly smiled and said, This family n should be one of thergest family n in the Yi Xing Maind, however thest name is reallymentable. TL Note C That because the character Gui s meaning is to return/to go back. Meng Jing Xiu was stunned for a moment, but soon she understood the meaning of Ning Cheng, as she whispered again, I heard people say that Cui Nie Ping and Gui Yu Tang are one of the ten most monstrous talents under the Profound Core Realm in the Le Continent, and as such they are the main focus of cultivation for their respective backers. But if the point is just cultivation then why dont they stay in their respective Academy and n to cultivate like Junior Apprentice Sister Danqin? Why would theye to the Angry Axe Valley? Ning Cheng subconsciously returned a question. All the core disciple of the Academies that he had met till now had given him the same impression, as their natural qualifications went against the heavens, the Academies would do everything to protect them, and not let them run around in the grassroots like this aimlessly. Meng Jing Xiu shook her head, That is not the case, I heard that in realrge Academies, the disciples with more heaven defying qualifications are encouraged to go out and experience the world while simultaneously cultivating and training. However, the trump cards that they hold in their hands are many, and as such it is very difficult for them to fall. As for them staying indoors and cultivating, although they may be able to achieve a high cultivation, but then they wouldckpetitiveness which is a must for all cultivators. The two cultivators who were confronting each other moved towards Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu, at this moment they were only ten meters away from Ning Cheng before they stopped. The man on the left was wearing a brown cultivators robe, had slender eyebrows, with a clean and white face, with bright eyes, and had a peaceful looking expression on his face. But his whole body was giving off a cheetah-like dangerous aura. While the person on the right had a slightly shorter figure, and had a bronze like skin, with thick lips. But what was different in him from the person on his left, was that the aura in and around him was constantly exploding out in pulses which could even be seen externally, any person who looked at him would immediately realize that this person was simply not to be trifled with. Who are you? I believed that as long as ...... Why have I never seen you? The brown robe wearing cultivator on the left with a white and clean face stared at Ning Cheng and asked with a deep tone. While simultaneously staring at Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu with suspicion in his eyes. Although he had seen Meng Jing Xiu a few days ago. Back at the time when he had broken the Killing Intent Restriction on the Stone Door this woman seemed to have been around that ce. But this woman only had the cultivation of True Condensation 6th Level, so how could it be possible for her toe inside? But he soon ignored Meng Jing Xiu and had only spared a nce at her, he could guess how Meng Jing Xiu came inside, it seemed that she had some kind of rtionship with Ning Cheng. He was already using his Spiritual Consciousness to carefully observe Ning Cheng, but even after a long time he only got a vague feeling that Ning Cheng only had the cultivation of Early Stage Essence Building Realm. He had a feeling that this Ning Cheng was the one that he had to watch out against. While at the same time he also understood what was the matter, although this ce did not have Rank 7 Spiritual Grasses, but there were still many Rank 6 Spiritual Grasses. These things were of much use to him, of course, whether it was a single person or a few people in front of him, it did not represent the same thing. I have also not seen you, what is so strange about it, the Yi Xing Maind is very big, does one know every genius there is out there? Ning Cheng also spoke loudly. The person in front of him had not finished his words, when he already understood the meaning of Ning Chengs words. That is as long as they had skill, then he would have definitely known about them, or rather he should have known about them. I was given a nickname, called Waiting for you every day, who asked you toe killer...... TL Note C Yes thats what he said, I crosschecked with the Qidian Source along with a few of other trantors (Premonition, Etvir, Deceptioning, TaffyGirl) for this headache inducing line. Ning Cheng had not yet finished speaking, when the fair and clean looking cultivator, frowned and mumbled to himself, Waiting for you every day, who asked you toe killer ...... Is it possible that this friend has been here for a few days, and every day was waiting here for other people to break through the Angry Axe Lotus Flower Pond just to prey on them? Therefore, I just shortened it out to just Genius Killer.... Ning Cheng just finished his words, when the man who was mumbling to himself also just finished. Hearing that term Genius Killer, this fair and clean looking cultivator understood that Ning Cheng was making fun of them. Ning Cheng definitely knew that they were one of the ten monstrous genius cultivators from the Le Continent below the Profound Core Realm. Angry Axe Lotus Flower Pond? Ning Cheng had not thought that the ce that he had rushed through that was as scary as hell itself initially, could still have such an elegant sounding name? The reason that Ning Cheng had spoken in such a manner was because he was already prepared for a fight. These two guys were at Essence Building 7th Level. So if he had to fight, then Ning Cheng was not afraid of them, but he was worried about Meng Jing Xiu. Ha Ha...... This fair and clean looking cultivatorughed and suddenly said, Genius Killer, this friends nickname is really good, I am Dragon and Phoenix 9 Star Academys Cui Nie Ping. With him speaking up, the other cultivator who was slightly shorter in stature who had a simr cultivation of Essence Building Realm came forward and spoke, Le Continents Gui Yuan Citys Gui Yu Tang. Ning Cheng had thought that when he had seen these two people, they had initially seemed to have a bit of confrontation between them, and were almost on the verge of fighting, but now when they saw a stranger that tried to meddle in their affairs, he thought that they would immediately begin fighting with them. But he had not thought that these two people not only had not begun fighting, but rather they immediately brought out their respective Sects name, and moreover were also looking very serious. God Wind Academys Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng was already well prepared for a fight, but since the other party did not have such an intention at the moment, he would also not continue to cause trouble. God Wind Academy? Cui Nie Ping and Gui Yu Tang immediately spoke out simultaneously as they looked at each other, moreover there was even doubt in their looks, as they did not have the slightest impression of the God Wind Academy. They immediately realized that this God Wind Academy must be amon Academy, as such Cui Nie Ping also no longer continued to inquire, and instead smiled as he spoke, Since Brother Ning can cross the Angry Axe Lotus Flower Pond, and is also nicknamed as the Genius Killer, then presumably you are not amon person. This Cui is really ashamed of himself as a man, as I barely could scrape into the ranks of geniuses from the Le Continent, moreover I barely was able to force my way through the Angry Axe Lotus Flower Pond, thus this Cui wants to ask for advice from Brother Ning who is also renowned as the Genius Killer. Cui Nie Pings tone was very humble, which in fact implied his arrogance, it showed that he basically did not put that so called self-styled Genius Killer Ning Cheng in his eyes. But his cultivation seemed to be good, and was not pointing noses to satirize a challenge. But the words he spoke, although he himself issued the challenge, it was no different than a pointed nose challenge. When he had issued the challenge, Ning Chengs face remained calm, while in his heart he slightly frowned. Cui Nie Ping finally raised his eyebrows, Brother Ning, is it possible that you do not put Gui Yu Tang and me in your eyes, and as such disdain from having a spar with us? At the same time, the slightly short cultivatorughed and said, If you want to challenge me, then first try and defeat the first hurdle called Cui Nie Ping, otherwise I have no interest to spar against losers. Ning Cheng did not think that these two guys would not put the Spiritual Grasses in front of them in their eyes, not to mention even try to grab the Spiritual Grasses in their path, but rather unexpectedly wanted to spar with him, without even asking him about the things in the wooden cabin behind them. Associating this incident with the purple robe wearing young girl with a veil on her face who was from the Wu Nian Academy, he silently wondered in his heart, are all the disciples from therge academies extremely rich? So rich that even with Rank 6 Spiritual Grasses in front of them, and the good things supposedly within the Immortal Mansion, were not something would faze them? This Cui Nie Peng and Gui Yu Tang may not care about the Spiritual Grasses, but that did not mean that Ning Cheng did not care about it. As Ning Cheng thought till here, he cupped his fists as he spoke, Since Brother Cui wants to challenge me, then I would certainly not refuse. However, I am a person who has not yet seen the world, unlike Brother Cui and Brother Gui whoe fromrge Sects. Here there are many Spiritual Grasses that Brother Cui and Brother Gui do not care about, as such I actually do not want us to fight here, which would end up destroying these Spiritual Grasses. Saying that, Ning Cheng basically did not wait for Cui Nie Ping and Gui Yu Tang to answer as he directly turned to Meng Jing Xiu and said, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, these two talented individuals despise these Spiritual Grasses, in order to avoid being destroyed by our spar, we will have to hurry up and first go and dig them all up. Meng Jing Xiuughed inwardly, she with a cry of acknowledgement, rushed into the Spiritual Grass Garden and began to dig out the Spiritual Grasses. Ning Cheng also rushed past, but still did not forget to turn his head towards Cui Nie Ping and he spoke, Brother Cui, please wait for me for a short while, once I get done with these Spiritual Grasses, I will right awaye to you to exchange some pointers. Cui Nie Ping already was looking nkly at the already steadily upturning garden as he watched Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu wantonly dig out the Spiritual Grasses, as he mumbled to himself, who said that they did not care about these Spiritual Grasses? Rank 4 and above Spiritual Grasses, even in sectparable to a 9 Star Academy, is also a good thing, how can there be any reason for them to be not concerned about it? Of course, since they were disciples ofrge Academies and Sects so the amount of resources provided to them was certainly quiterge whenpared to other disciples from other Academies, as such they had proposed apetition among them. If they won, then they would obviously receive more of the Spiritual Grasses, while the loser would receive less or almost no Spiritual Grasses from here. But they hadnt even startedpeting, when these people had already started to loot the Spiritual Grasses here, this Ning Cheng was simply too straightforward and petty, right? Gui Yu Tang also almost ran behind Ning Cheng into the Medicine Garden as he spoke, Brother Cui is from the 9 Star Academy, so of course he wouldnt care about these Spiritual Grasses here, but I need to find my own resources to cultivate, as such these things here have a great utility for me. As he spoke, he already was simultaneously digging out the Spiritual Grasses. Cui Nie Ping also immediately rushed inside as he knew that if Ning Cheng ended up on top, then dividing the Spiritual Grasses would simply be impossible. At this time if he acted with modesty then he really was an idiot, and as such he also did not hesitate as he rushed into the Medicine Garden, as he smiled and spoke, Rank 4 and higher Spiritual Grasses are crucial for me, how can I let go of this opportunity. Although the Dragon and Phoenix Academy is rich, but they are the resources of the Academy, and not my Cui Nie Pings. Ning Cheng cursed in his heart, as he looked at those two act without constraint, now that they were digging themselves, they immediately exposed their original face. He saw that Meng Jing Xius digging speed of Spiritual Grasses was simply too slow, and as such simply did not bother to dig stub by stub anymore, as he directly sent out a punch facing the front of the Spiritual Grass Garden. The formidable Axe Fist was filled with a powerful Killing Intent as it directly seeped into the floor of the Spiritual Grass Garden, this was his Axe Line formed from Killing Intent that he had recentlyprehended. This Axe Line loosened all the mud and dirt underneath the Spiritual Grasses allowing them to be freely picked under Ning Chengs formidable control with his Spiritual Consciousness, without causing any injury to the Spiritual Grasses. Once all the Spiritual Grasses came loose, Ning Cheng simply stretched out his hand, and the numerous Spiritual Grasses immediately flew out towards him, getting rid of the residual dirt, as they fell cleanly into Ning Chengs hands, and in an instant were immediately stored into Ning Chengs Storage Bag. Ning Cheng felt a bit pleased in his heart, luckily he Spiritual Consciousness had risen sharply in that Angry Axe Lotus Flower Pond, otherwise he would not have been able to make such a move. But he did not halt his pace at all, as he once again arrived at a new lush green ce, and once again sted out a punch. Cui Nie Ping and Gui Yu Tang looked nkly at Ning Chengs rogue-style looting of the Spiritual Grasses, while in their hearts they were thinking that this person was simply too shameless. Chapter 0154 – I Also Use The Fist Chapter 0154: I Also Use The Fist The two peoples reaction was very quick as they came over, while simultaneously speeding up their speed of collection of the Spiritual Grasses. Unfortunately, the two of them did not have skills like Ning Cheng, and as such they were not able to dig out the Spiritual Grasses properly from the Medicine Garden, because of which they discovered that the Spiritual Grasses that they collected in a hurry did not even contain a tenth of their efficacy. Looking at the now already bare Spiritual Grass Garden, both of them looked at each other with nk faces, as they thought that this Ning Cheng was a little too ruthless. Not only was he ruthless, even his table manners were unsightly. Because of this incident, the impression of Ning Cheng on the two of them changed a lot. These two guys were the geniuses of the Le Continent, and as such were alwaysplemented and thought highly by everyone. But under such circumstances they knew perfectly well that because they had increased their speed to dig out the Spiritual Grasses improperly, as a result they had ended up destroying most of their loot. Of course, it was also possible that the two guys eat him up, and then take the Spiritual Grasses acquired by him, which would ultimately end up helping them. Brother Ning, you really have quick hands and feet. Cui Nie Ping saw that the Spiritual Grasses collected by Meng Jing Xiu were also given to Ning Cheng, and could not help but speak out sarcastically. Ning Cheng gave augh, I have never thought that the two geniuses who came from such prestigious backgrounds would alsoe to small ces like these to loot from the other cultivators, fortunately the good things here have now been divided up evenly. Previously when you came here, you proposed a spar, if you want to I can spar with you now, but if you do not want to spar then I am afraid that I will have to take my leave from this ce. Cui Nie Ping sneered and spoke, If Brother Ning can equally divide the good stuff here then it would really be good, since Brother Ning arrived here first, then I think that the things inside the log cabin were also taken away by Brother Ning, right? Ning Cheng did not deny it, and instead spoke in a very generous manner. Ah yeah, the little things inside the log cabin were all taken away by me....... Well then, let me have a small gamble with Brother Ning, since this is better than sparing, I hope you can bring forth a few of your gains...... Ning Cheng immediately knew what Cui Nie Ping meant, but still he very carefully nodded his head, Brother Cuis proposition is good, since this is a gamble, then one must bring forth their respective bets. Since Brother Cui was the one to propose this contest, then the bets will be decided by me. Cui Nie Ping had not said anything about the bets yet, since Ning Cheng on his own initiative spoke the words that he wanted to speak. Cui Nie Ping thought that since they had no means to dispute the im, as such he could only put forward a gamble of sorts between them. Ning Cheng said that the bets would be decided by him, this was not strange to them. Since Ning Cheng was not the one to propose the gamble, then he could definitely decide the bets. But then he frowned, ording to this way of thinking, even if Ning Cheng lost he would definitely not bring out the things that he obtained from the inside of the log cabin, rather he might only bring out the Spiritual Grasses that he obtained here. But he affirmed that he would definitely not lose, therefore he simply did not think that he should be the one to put up something first. Thinking till here, he simply took out a few inch-tall Jade bottle and threw it out casually. That jade bottle smoothly fell to the ground several dozens of meters away on a stone, This is my Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence that I had obtained in the Angry Axe Valley, moreover this is a full bottle right here, I do not know if Brother Ning cane up with something simr in value to this Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence. When Ning Cheng heard the words Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence he was immediately surprised in his heart. He knew that the Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence was a Rank 8 Spiritual Medicine. Moreover, its inherent nature was constant growth. Even the highest bidder in the cultivation world of the Yi Xing Maind would not be able to acquire such a thing no matter how much he bid. But at present an Essence Building Realm Cultivator had actuallye up with such a good thing, it proved that there evidently really were more good things in this Angry Axe Valley, and it was not just he who had harvested such a good fortune. Moreover, this Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence was considered as the highest quality Spiritual Medicine that could be used to repair a cultivators broken Meridians. If at the beginning when his Meridians were shredded in the Thunder Fall Desert, if there was no Mysterious Yellow Origin to remould his Meridians, then he could have simrly used this Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence to repair his Meridians. But who in their right mind woulde up with Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence to give to amon cultivator to repair their meridians? The value of the Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence was simply countless times much more precious thanpared to a True Condensation Cultivator. Ning Cheng also directly took out a ring and threw it on top of the stone. This ring is the thing that I had just obtained from the log cabin, as to what is inside, I did not have the chance to look at them. When Cui Nie Ping saw Ning Cheng actually throw out a ring, his eyes immediately shined and said, Good, so you really are going to use this ring for your bet. When they came here, Ning Cheng had not yet collected the Spiritual Grasses in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, presumably because he did not have enough time, so he assumed that Ning Cheng had alsoe here not much earlier than them. Moreover, since he certainly did not arrive much earlier than them, then there was a good chance that the ring had not yet been opened. Since this was a ring from an ancient cultivator, then even it only contained a Cultivation Method, he would have definitely made a huge profit. Originally he wanted to agitate Ning Cheng to the point that he would take out all the Spiritual Grasses, but he had never thought that he would rouse Ning Cheng to such an extent that he would even take out the ring. Not to say him, but even the one on his side, Gui Yu Tang, both his eyes were shining brightly, it was obvious that he had taken a liking to that ring that Ning Cheng brought out. Ning Cheng gave a chuckle. My bet is indeed more than enough, but Brother Cui, how can you use a mere bottle of Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence to bet against my ring? One has to know that since this is the ring of an ancient cultivator, as such it is many more times iparably precious than your Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence. Or is it that Brother Cui wants to bully me because Ie from a small ce, and have not yet seen the world. Cui Nie Ping really had such an idea, but now that he was called out by Ning Cheng, his face immediately turned red, as he quickly said, There is no such thing. This ancient senior cultivator has been dead for so long, even if the inside of the ring contained precious pills there is a good chance that they have already turned to dust, how can they be used? Ning Cheng also spoke in an unhurried manner, Brother Cui you are just guessing, as for whether or not that ancient cultivator died or not, Brother Cui I think that even you cant dare to be sure. Perhaps this belongs to somebody else who died recently? Besides even if there were no precious pills inside the ring, but what about the countless Spirit Stones, Magic Weapons, Cultivation Methods...... hey hey, do I need to say anything more? Moreover, its not like you people do not have other good things, why dont you bring out the Best Quality Spiritual Artefact that was used as an Array g for the Killing Intent Restriction? Only now did Meng Jing Xiu realize what Ning Cheng had said was the truth, the owner of this ring really might have passed away. Cui Nie Peng suddenly frowned, he also knew that what Ning Cheng had said was right. When he entered the Immortal Mansion, was it not just for taking out the ring that was in Ning Chengs hands? Thinking till here, he once again threw out a jade bottle, along with two Storage Bags as he said again, This jade bottle also contains the Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence, I only obtained two full bottles, and all of it is out there. As for the two Storage Bags, one bag is full of Spiritual Grasses, while the other is full of Spirit Stones. Anyways he was sure that he would not lose, so he would only have to wait for a while before taking them back with a huge profit. Ning Cheng saw that Cui Nie Ping was really no longer going toe up with anymore of his stuff, so he could only forcefully nod his head as he spoke, All right, since that is the case, then Brother Cui, please begin. When Cui Nie Ping saw that Ning Cheng had agreed to the bet, he no longer spoke anymore nonsense, as he was already drunk on his assumed victory. His whole body took a flying leap, as he threw out a punch at Ning Cheng. Yi! Does Brother Cui likes to use his fist? Well I also like to use my fist. Ning Cheng saw that Cui Nie Ping had sent out a punch towards him, but even then he simply spoke calmly, as he also sted out a punch. Cui Nie Ping and Ning Cheng were only a dozen meters apart from each other, so when he had only casually taken a step forward, he had alreadye in front of Ning Cheng. When his punch bombed out, the space all around him instantly became steaming hot as the Spiritual Qi all around was converted into Killing Intent, whichpletely covered Ning Cheng. Moreover, this Killing Intent was not only fierce and vindictive, there was not even a bit spilling out. As such Meng Jing Xiu and Gui Yu Tang who were standing at the side could only feel the steaming hot wind that was blowing off from it, as for the terrible Killing Intent they simply could not feel it at all. This was no longer a contest as it hadpletely turned into a brawl, once someone was trapped in this kind of Killing Intent, then they would only end up with a fatal ending. Although Meng Jing Xius cultivation was extremely poor amongst them and could not feel the Killing Intent from Cui Nie Pings fist, but that did not mean that she could not see what was happening. If Ning Cheng was to be struck with this fist, then even if Ning Cheng did not die, he would at least lose ayer of skin. Meng Jing Xiu had seen Essence Building Cultivators fight with Ning Cheng, and although she was not as good as the two Essence Building Cultivators fighting, but even she could tell that Cui Nie Pings fist was indeed powerful. Compared to Cui Nie Pings fist, Ning Chengs fist seemed extremely unremarkable, it was likeparing a tiny boat to the vast and boundless crazily surging sea, if it was any other time then Cui Nie Pings powerful fists aura itself would be more than enough to strangle a person to death. Hong Hong Hong...... As the two fists collided together, an intermittent bone cracking sound emerged. The power contained in the fists, because of the collision with each other, immediately burst out. The wind immediately carried the Imposing Manner of the fists as the power contained in them was unleashed, it made Meng Jing Xiu feel as if she was being stabbed in her consciousness, as such she immediately subconsciously withdrew more than a dozen meters back. Gui Yu Tang shook his head, he discovered that he had overestimated Ning Cheng. Cui Nie Pings fist was clearly just a test punch to probe him out, just this probing punch was more than enough to break Ning Chengs arm, as such he simply had no chance for him to fight against Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng also flew out tumbling, while in his heart he was secretly startled. This Gui Yu Tang was not weaker than the present him. After seeing the result of the fist attack, his understanding of Gui Yu Tang immediately became a bit deep. Just know he knew that he had not given his best shot, rather it was just a casual punch without any power behind it, moreover he also knew that Cui Nie Ping had also thrown out his punch to probe him out. Just a moment ago the sound of bones fracturing was not from Cui Nie Ping, but rather was something that came from his arms. Cui Nie Ping spoke in a mild tone, If you have only thing kind of ability, then I would be very sorry for you. As he spoke, Cui Nie Ping once again jumped, and once more sent out a fist. But this punch waspletely filled with a deadly aura, showing that he was obviously nning to kill Ning Cheng. It was because when he had met Ning Cheng, he had thought him to have almost the same strength as him, as a result he had proposed a contest, but now that he discovered that he could easily kill the opposite party, then this Cui Nie Ping would absolutely not be lenient. This time when that crazy fist shadow emerged, it actually brought out an inexhaustible amount of Fist Shadows. These Fist Shadows were almost as dazzling as Sword Lights, and were extremely eye catching. Moreover, it brought up a majestic Imposing Manner and Death Qi, which immediately enveloped Ning Cheng among these Fist Lights. An Ice Cold Sword Intent that had the capability to seep into ones marrow was leaking out. Under the invasion from the Killing Intent in these Fist Lights, Ning Chengs way out was alreadypletely sealed. Ning Cheng at the moment had only one path to walk upon, and that was to enter the middle of this Ice Cold Sword Intent, and be at the mercy of the Death Qi in the Sword Intent that could tear him into pieces. No wonder these people were able toe here, turned out this person had such a high level ofprehension towards Sword Intent, Ning Cheng finally came to understand. Moreover, he could also stir up Sword Intent through his fist, this was simr to his Axe Fist in general, which he used to stimte the Axe Intent with his fist. Thus it could be seen that Cui Nie Pings primary weapon of choice was not a fist but rather a sword. The first time he had punched out with his fist was only a probe, but now that he finally discovered that he was not his opponent, he simply decided on killing Ning Cheng with his fist. Although he had used his fist, but what came out was an Ice Cold Sword Intent. These disciples from therge academies really were very superficial, if they met someone for the first time then they would speak politely, moreover they would always reason out and be courteous everywhere. But when they really fought, then counting on them to show mercy, was simply a dream. Once they think that they can massacre you, then they absolutely would not show even a half a moment of soft heartedness or even pause for a single moment. Chapter 0155 – I Also Use The Spear Chapter 0155: I Also Use The Spear However, using such a Sword Fist with the intention of killing him, he had grossly underestimated Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng not only did not force himself out of the scope of the Fist Shadows of Cui Nie Ping that were made from his Sword Intent, but rather took the initiative to actually allow them to surround himpletely with him in the exact centre. At this moment, Ning Cheng waspletely surrounded by Cui Nie Pings Death Qi and the Killing Force of his Sword Intent, just as the Sword Intent within started to tear at Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng also sted out a punch. Seeing that Ning Cheng was using a punch simr to his own type of Sword Fist to go against the Killing Force of his Sword Intent, the corners of Cui Nie Ping showed a slight sneer, as he thought that he had really thought highly of Ning Cheng before. Not everyone can get though the Angry Axe Lotus Flower Pond, and like him the only other person to do so was Gui Yu Ping. But at this time, he suddenly felt something wrong, a fearsome tornado formed from Killing Intent crashed into his Sword Intent bursting it open like a piece of paper. Ning Cheng obviously did not use any Magic Weapon, but even then he could feel the wrathful edge of a great axe chop down at the Killing Force of his Sword Intent. This wrathful edge of a great axe was simply too terrible, as itpletely and directly blew open the Killing Force surrounding it that was made from his own Killing Intent. If it was only this, then Cui Nie Ping believed that he could still stand up to it. But unexpectedly this was not the end, after this powerful Tornado formed from Axe Intent swallowed up the Killing Force of his Sword Intent, it once more filled the surroundings with its own Killing Force while simultaneously rolling it up and pushing it towards him while condensing it along the way to a point, before exploding onto his chest. This was the true Axe Fist, moreover the Axe Intent in this Axe Fist was even innumerable times much denser than his Sword Intent. The two simply could not even bepared on the same level, one was like the dust on the ground while the other was as vast as the heavens themselves. Cui Nie Ping could integrate his Sword Intent with his fist, as such he could also see that Ning Chengs Axe Fist was somewhat simr to his. As the formidable Axe Fist filled with Killing Intent bombed over to him, Cui Nie Peng knew that if he did not find a way to shunt this fist, then this fist was more than enough to tear him into fragments, this fist was truly extremely fearful. Cui Nie Ping immediately resorted to his left hand, as a powerful Sword Intent that waspletely invisiblebined with his True Essence as he condensed it into a wall. Ka Cha...... Ning Chengs punch changed its aim to his left fist, immediately bursting open the True Essence Barrier. While simultaneously from the centre of the True Essence Barrier a Ka Cha sound emerged. Cui Nie Ping knew that all the bones of his left hand had been shattered into tiny fragments. But on the contrary he felt a bit relieved. Because he had, in just the nick of time, as able to use his right hand bringing out his formidable Sword Intents Imposing Manner to block the attacking force just a short distance away from his chest. Peng. But then again a loud sound emerged as the True Essence within the fist ruptured. Ka Cha a sound emerged, but this time it was not the sound of Cui Nie Pings arm breaking, but rather it was Ning Chengs arm that broke once more, as Ning Cheng was simultaneously sent back tumbling. Cui Nie Ping also backed away several steps, beforeing to a stop. Hisplexion at that moment was also somewhat ugly, but he was not hurt much. Although his bones were shattered, but for him it was not a major injury. Gui Yu Tang showed a faint smile as he looked at the uglyplexion of Cui Nie Ping. He spoke, Brother Cui, I did not expect that the Sword Fist that you have been so proud of was really something so cheap, this Ning Cheng, I really would like to exchange some moves with him very much. Cui Nie Pingsplexion turned really ugly, but had not replied to the words of Gui Yu Tang, as he was still in the process of recalling what had happened a moment ago in his fight with Ning Cheng. Looking back at what happened, it looked like Ning Cheng was slightly more injured than him, but why did it feel like he was the one who was at aplete disadvantage? Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, is your hand all right. Meng Jing Xiu hastily came over to Ning Chengs side, as she supported Ning Cheng up. Ning Cheng took a few deep breaths and said, Do you think that my arm is broken. Actually there is nothing wrong at all with my hand, its just this guy is very fierce. Judging from the surface, a moment ago when Cui Nie Ping fought, he had really been pushed back a few steps. After Ning Cheng took a few more deep breaths, he once again returned to his original position as he looked at Cui Nie Ping and said, Brother Cui, although I was the one who stepped back a slight distance more than you a moment ago. However, you have an arm broken, which is one more than whenpared to mine, thus it can be seen that you are at a disadvantage. So, I think that you really have lost this challenge. What do you say? Meng Jing Xiu looked nkly at Ning Cheng, she had always thought that Ning Chengs way of handling things was very realistic. Even if she could not see what happened a moment ago, Ning Cheng looked slightly worse off than his opponent. Regardless of the conditions of the spar, this was still the result in the end. She had never thought that Ning Cheng would simply reverse the result and speak about it in such a way. Let alone what Meng Jing Xiu was thinking, even Cui Nie Pings face changed continuously for a while, as he spoke, Yes, I truly fell back a moment ago...... Well then, Ill just help myself. Ning Cheng did not let Cui Nie Ping finish his words, as he immediately took away the things ced on the stone. As Cui Nie Ping looked at what was happening his heart immediately started bleeding. He had just said that he had been pushed a few steps back, but he had not said that he had lost, but this guy had already swept away the things. However carefully looking at the situation from a moment ago, he finally could not raise any objections. He could sense that these things were not as he had felt them to be. He was certainly clear about his injuries, that his arm bones had definitely been shattered to pieces. But Ning Cheng had said that he had one more broken arm than him, didnt this imply that Ning Chengs arm had never broken from the beginning till the end? If Ning Chengs arm was not broken, then why did he hear the sound of his arm breaking twice? Gui Yu Tang also looked at Cui Nie Ping, as Ning Cheng put away the things, as he saw Cui Nie Ping had not even raised a single objection, this seemed really wrong to him. By rights, Cui Nie Ping should have continued to fight again. Brother Cui, you let him win, it looks like the things that you obtained in the Angry Axe Valley, are far more than just this. Gui Yu Tang also found it very strange, as he knew that this Cui Nie Ping was not such a nice person. He was still hesitant, when he once again heard Ning Cheng saying, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, this time I have obtained many Spiritual Grasses, moreover I even obtained a ring, it looks like we can go now. Wait Wait, Brother Ning, with that fist that was brimming with Axe Intent a moment, the one that made Brother Cui to admit defeat on his own initiative, this made this Gui Yu Tang to admire you extremely. I would also like to have a spar with Brother Ning, I think that Brother Ning will also not dare to refuse it? Gui Yu Tang saw that Ning Cheng wanted to leave, as he quickly stepped up and spoke. Ning Cheng frowned, and only after a long time did he speak, Just now when I sparred with Brother Cui, Ive seen the powerful strength of such a genius, if not for being envious of Brother Cuis Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence, I would have definitely not sparred with him, you know, my ringes from an ancient cultivator...... Gui Yu Tangughed, as he raised his hands and threw out a block of a dark stone like object and said, This is Yi Xing Mainds top Crafting Material, True Burning Star Sand. Ning Cheng was feeling extremely depressed in his heart at the moment, these guys really have obtained some really good things, this True Burning Star Sand was actually a Rank 9 Crafting Material, even if Ning Cheng was not in contact with those hot shots of the cultivation world, he knew that if even a word of such a stuff ever got out it would immediately lead to arge scale war. This True Burning Star Sand was something that I found in the depths of the Angry Axe Valley, you have to know, that if my n came to know that I had taken out the True Burning Star Sand for a wager, then even if I was a core member, I would inevitably have to suffer harsh punishment ording to the n rules. Ning Cheng showed a faint smile and spoke, This True Burning Star Sand is truly precious, But Im only an Essence Building Cultivator, what would I even do with such a thing? Moreover, even if your object is something even more precious, but the price that you brought out is still not enough. Perhaps inside my ring I may even find dozens of blocks of True Burning Star Sand, for you to make a bet with such a thing, do you take me to be stupid? Gui Yu Tang sneered but still spoke calmly, The inside of your ring may indeed contain more than a dozen blocks of the True Burning Star Sand, but there is also a possibility that it does not contain anything, and is empty inside. Ning Cheng seemed to behave as if he had not heard the words of Gui Yu Tang, and simply did not give an answer. Gui Yu Tang saw the way Ning Cheng acted, and knew that his chips were really not enough to move him. Thinking till here, he clenched his teeth as he took out a rusty and stained furnace and said, This is also something that I had obtained in the Angry Axe Valley, even I cannot estimate its grade, it should be enough, right? Ning Cheng immediately used his Spiritual Consciousness to inspect this stove, and immediately his eyes lit up, and he suddenlyughed and spoke, Since Brother Gui has said that it was enough, then I am sure that I certainly have noment. Then, Brother Gui you can begin first. Gui Yu Tang was waiting for Ning Cheng to speak exactly those words, and just as Ning Chengs voice fell, a Spear with an almost entirely blue body fell into his hands. Yi! Brother Gui also uses a spear, I also use the spear. Ning Cheng spoke as he raised his hands, and the broken spear appeared in Ning Chengs hands. When Cui Nie Ping heard Ning Chengs words, he even more firmly believed that his choice a moment before was the right one. Ning Cheng was absolutely not simr to him in his use of his fist, so it was possible for him to not use the Spear in the same way as Gui Yu Tang. Only such kind of a person, was the most fearful. Even he felt somewhat afraid of this person, moreover the Spear in Ning Chengs hands was not aplete one, the Spear Head and the Spear Tail even looked decrepit. When Meng Jing Xiu heard Ning Chengs words, she almostughed out loud. Fortunately, there was no one with an Axe here, if there was someone with an Axe here, then she thought that Ning Cheng would certainly once more say Yi! You use an Axe ah; I also use the Axe. Gui Yu Tang seemed to have felt that there was something that was not right, but now that he had challenged Ning Cheng, he would absolutely not flinch away. He shook the blue Spear in his hand, as it immediately transformed into a spear that was more than 10 feet long. First eat my spear...... Gui Yu Tang was a very decisive person, so almost at the same time that Ning Cheng brought out his spear, he simultaneously thrusted out with his blue spear that was in his hand. Even a naked eye could see the blue ripples that appeared in the sky, these ripples were like the ripples formed in the water as a stone dropped into it. Cui Nie Ping who was standing at the side waspletely bbergasted as he looked on, he could never think that Gui Yu Tang would immediately resort to his Spear Technique in such a situation. As these blue ripples condensed out of thin air, it was the sign of the culmination of his Spear Intent. Once these ripples of Spear Intent wrapped around the opponent, then that scene would bepletely directed by Gui Yu Tang. But Ning Cheng actually did not care about this for even a single bit, as the Spear in his hand transformed into 30 Ice Cold Spear Shadows one after another, these Spear Shadows immediately formed into a Spear Network. Gui Yu Tangs ripples of Spear Intent were still spreading into the surroundings from it as a centre, but Ning Chengs Spear Network had already formed from the Spear Shadows that had emerged from the Spear that he had taken out. In only a short time, the two Spear Intents collided together. After the blue ripple like Spear Intent and Ning Chengs 36 Profound Ice Spear Shadow Technique collided, loud intermittent explosions could be heard as the Spear Shadows burst. The blue ripple like Spear Intent when collided with Ning Chengs Spear Network, it instantly broke apart under the explosions, but the broken down blue ripples had not dissipated, rather they turned into innumerable blue shes of light as they immediately approached Ning Cheng. But at this moment Ning Cheng did not even have the slightest fear, after his Spear Network shattered Gui Yu Tangs blue ripple like Spear Intent, it had also not dissipated, rather it spun around, and immediately blew apart the innumerable blue shes of light. But at this moment Gui Yu Tang was actually shuddering, as a terrible bone piercing chill invaded his bones from the air, which he was unable topletely block. The Spear Network that Ning Cheng shot out immediately shrunk, forming a single thick Profound Ice Spear Shadow that immediately shed towards him. At this moment, how did Ning Cheng even look like his True Essence had depleted and was gasping for breath? Gui Yu Tang now fully understood why in the previous fight between Ning Cheng and Cui Nie Ping, although Cui Nie Ping did not eat much of a loss, but he still threw in the towel. Chapter 0156 – Leaving The Valley Chapter 0156: Leaving The Valley Boom Ning Chengs Spear Shadows and Gui Yu Tangs Blue Spear immediately collided together, at this time Gui Yu Tangs powerful True Essence and Spiritual Consciousness was revealed beyond a doubt. But his Spear Intent was vastly inferior to Ning Chengs Spear Intent, testament to the fact was that Ning Chengs Spear Intent had already broken through the blue ripple like Spear Intent of his opponent. Forcing him to abruptly recall his blue spear to its original size, as he tried to block Ning Chengs single condensed giant spear. Gui Yu Tang immediately condensed his True Essence into a barrier, he knew that if this Spear broke through his barrier, then even if Gui Yu Tang did not die at the very least he would suffer severe injuries. But after the two spears collided, Gui Yu Tang was directly sent flying over a dozen feet back before falling onto the ground, Ning Cheng was also pushed back but only a few feet. This battle ended even more quickly than the battle between Ning Cheng and Cui Nie Ping, before they ended up separating. Although Gui Yu Tang was not hurt much, but knew that he had lost to Ning Cheng in the battle between Spear Intents a moment ago, as such he also knew that he was at a huge disadvantage. However, he knew that he had definitely lost in the exchange. Even if Ning Cheng conveniently did not use his Magic Weapon, even if that was the case, he knew that he was certainly not Ning Chengs opponent, once Ning Cheng seriously resorted to use his Magic Weapon, then he would be more so much inferior to him, unless he and Cui Nie Ping coborated to go against Ning Cheng. But them being considered as geniuses of their generation, they both still disdained to cooperate with each other to fight against a cultivator whose cultivation was not even as high as them. I lost. Gui Yu Tangsplexion was calm as he put away the blue spear in his hands. At this time how couldnt he be clear? Ning Cheng had certainly not been injured in the fight with Cui Nie Ping. If it were other people, seeing such a fearful and terrible fight, they would never evere up to take the challenge. Lucky, lucky. Ning Cheng first rushed to that stone, as he swept away the things ced on the stone, pocketing everything. He had pulled back his attack at the right instant, if not, he would have killed Gui Yu Tang, this was a fact even if Gui Yu Tang had gone all out to block his spear. In the end it was all for good. Elder Brother Ning, for me Gui Yu Tang, you are the fiercest Essence Building Cultivator that I have seen till now. Today for me to have a spar with Elder Brother Ning, I have benefitted greatly. Gui Yu Tang said, as he saw Ning Cheng pocket away all the things, but he still cupped his fists and spoke to Ning Cheng in a respectful manner. Although he was praising Ning Cheng, he felt very dark in his heart, he was a disciple from one of the greatest n, although he could kill without any hesitation, but he could never bear the burden of losing. Todays win was by luck, if we really had fought, I may not have been able to win. Ning Cheng was polite as he spoke, he knew that these talented disciples from suchrge sects as theirs were most concerned about face-saving. Since he had won the other parties things, then he did not mind giving them some face. Besides Ning Cheng knew that these two people really had some skills, moreover these two simply could not bepared to the two Essence Building Cultivators from the Red Heaven Academy. If these two men were to act together, then with his present cultivation, he may not necessarily be able to handle them. Cui Nie Ping also came forward and spoke, This Angry Axe Lotus Flower Pond is the best ce in the Angry Axe Valley to cultivate ones Killing Intent and also ones Spiritual Consciousness, but ordinary cultivators would find it very difficult toe here. For Elder Brother Ning toe here, it shows your brilliance, in fact, Elder Brother Ning you really did not let us down. Ning Cheng had just cultivated here, so of course he knew that what Cui Nie Ping said was right. Moreover, he knew that these disciples from such prestigious backgrounds knew more about the Angry Axe Valley than him. So he immediately cupped his fist and asked politely, Me and my Junior Apprentice Sister just want to exit from this ce. Do the two of you have any good ways out? Gui Yu Tang simplyughed and said, This Ancient Immortal Mansion is....... Gui Yu Tang was not able to finish what he was going to say, when suddenly spatial fluctuations appeared around him, and then he immediately disappeared from their sight. The Angry Axe Valley is suddenly closing, Yi! why only one person, Gui Yu Tang, was transmitted out? Cui Nie Ping had just finished his words, when the space around him immediately began to fluctuate, and then in a moment he also disappeared. It appears that even we two will also be transmitted out in a short while, its a pity that we could not go to that ce that you wanted to go to...... Not waiting for Ning Cheng to finish, Meng Jing Xiu immediately hugged him. Ning Cheng was surprised for a moment, but soon he understood the meaning of Meng Jing Xius actions, she was afraid that both of them would be sent to different ces. Ning Cheng patted Meng Jing Xius shoulder and said, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, we would soon be sent out of this ce, and would certainly get outside of the Angry Axe Valley, and although we will be together in the same ce, but unfortunately we will not be able to walk together. Because that cultivator surnamed Kang thinks that something is not right with the results of my first and second round in the tournament, as a result I cannot meet with him. I know that, I am sorry, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, I really could not take you to that that ce. Meng Jing Xiu spoke with some regret in her voice. What is this ce you speak about? Ning Cheng immediately asked. It is an Immortal Mansion...... Meng Jing Xius words immediately shocked Ning Cheng, as he immediately thought about the Immortal Mansion that he had visited at the bottom of the cold river. [TL Note C Please do not confuse these Immortal Mansion ɸ with the Immortal Mansion that they are in right now. Both of them are different but when tranted to English, they are called Immortal Mansions. To differentiate, this Immortal Mansion ɸ that Meng Jing Xiu spoke off and the Immortal Mansion ɸ at the bottom of the Cold River that Ning Cheng visited with the old woman, where he obtained his Star River, are the true Immortal Mansions as they contain the character for Immortal . Whereas the Immortal Mansion that Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu are right now is not a true Immortal Mansion as the characters are different, but are essentially tranted to as Immortal Mansion. Essentially the Character here is the character for Cave, but whenbined with (Character for Mansion) it is literally tranted to Cave Mansion, but when together as it means Legendary abode of Immortals hence being called as Immortal Mansion.] Initially the Immortal Mansion that white haired old woman had led him to at the bottom of the Cold River was actually called the Scorching Immortal Mansion, afterwards the Scorching Immortal Mansion had disappeared into the void, could this mean that Meng Jing Xiu hade to this Angry Axe Valley for that Scorching Immortal Mansion. But that is not right, when that Immortal Mansion disappeared into the void, Meng Jing Xiu should not have known about it. Meng Jing Xiu spoke with affirmation, It definitely is an Immortal Mansion, and is called Lan Wei.... Meng Jing Xiu had only spoke half the words, when the surrounding space all around them immediately started to fluctuate, which made Ning Cheng immediately realize that it was now their turn to be transmitted out. He immediately grasped Meng Jing Xiu even tightly, and sure enough, an invisible force immediately swept away him and Meng Jing Xiu, and when he and Meng Jing Xiu finally fell on the ground, they realised that they had arrived at the side of a rushing river. Yi! Our luck sure is good, this should not be the ce outside the Angry Axe Valley from where we entered, it seems we were transmitted out to a new ce. Ning Cheng felt the aura and the surrounding Spiritual Qi, and immediately spoke in an affirmative manner. Ning Cheng really felt lucky for the first time, although he and Meng Jing Xiu were sent out, luckily they were not transmitted out to the ce from where they entered the Angry Axe Valley. If he and Meng Jing Xiu were transferred outside to the ce from where they entered the Angry Axe Valley, then they would have already been caught by that cultivator surnamed Kang. Well, I tried very hard to find the Immortal Mansion in the Angry Valley, so that I could cultivate quickly, so that I could then go look for my parents, but I did not think that I would fall short of it finally. I could not even find that ce, before I was sent out. Meng Jing Xiu sighed. Ning Cheng spoke with a little embarrassment in his voice, Im sorry, I should not have let you be with me for such a long time. Meng Jing Xiu shook her head and spoke, You should not be, the ce that we were at was extremely far away from the Immortal Mansion, it would have taken more than ten days to reach there. Coupled with the time required to find the Immortal Mansion itself, even if we did not dy even a single bit, it would already have been toote. Ning Cheng spoke in aforting manner, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, in fact, in my opinion, since we have not found the Immortal Mansion, then it should be a good thing. Once the Immortal Mansion is opened, then I am afraid that with our cultivations we simply would not be able to live even for a single moment. Moreover, that kind of Immortal Spiritual Qi, will be immediately be brought to the attention of the others, so when the timees, we would only be acting as cannon fodders in its opening. What Ning Cheng was saying was actually not unreasonable, initially that white haired old woman with such a high cultivation was also defeated in that Scorching Immortal Mansion. So just what were he and Meng Jing Xius cultivation in such a case? How could they even ovee an Immortal Mansion? In the end, perhaps they really would have done the work for the others. Meng Jing Xiu very much believed Ning Chengs words, now that she heard Ning Cheng speak, she also nodded and spoke, What Big Brother Ning said is right, after our cultivation is high enough, we wille to this Angry Axe Valley again. This time the Angry Axe Valley was open for too long, I have heard that it would need a thousand more years to open once more. Not necessarily, because of the ident that urred in the Angry Axe Valley, the time that we were allowed to be inside had also lengthened. I suspect that this ident was because the seals put up on the Angry Axe Valleys Array Formation had experienced some problems, once this Array Formation is broken, then perhaps we cantere and go through this Angry Axe Valley at any time. Ning Cheng spoke. Seeing Meng Jing Xius puzzled look, Ning Cheng exined, A long time ago, people coulde and go as they liked in this Angry Axe Valley, but afterwards because of huge losses of lives, many of the mighty cultivators joined hands and arranged a Top Level Concealment Array Formation, where only Essence Building Cultivators and below could enter. I had also heard people speak about this. Even if that is the case, even if the Array Formation of the Angry Axe Valley was destroyed, the ce where the Immortal Mansion is located, I am certain that no one else knows about it. Meng Jing Xiu spoke, then she took out an ancient map in her hands and gave it to Ning Cheng while saying, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, your cultivation is much higher than me, so it would be better if you keep this map of the Immortal Mansion on you. This map was made by my ancestor Meng when he entered the Angry Axe Valley. He had drawn it out from his memory. The ancestor had just found this Immortal Mansion, when the time was up, and he was sent out. Ning Cheng knew that Meng Jing Xiu had already thoroughly memorised the contents of this map, as such he did not reject it, as he received the map and directly spoke, Where do you want to go now? I must return to the Hua Continent to take away Luo Fei, do you want to return to the Hua Continent together with me, or do you want to stay in the Jia Continent? Meng Jing Xiu took out a Jade Piece as she handed it to Ning Cheng and said, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, this Jade Piece is the map of the Jia Continent all the way to the Yi Xing Ocean. If I have not guessed wrongly, then we are at present at the Mo La River. Mo La River is near the Lost Mountain Range, Senior Apprentice Brother, if you want to return to the Hua Continent, then it is necessary to cross the Lost Mountain Range, so...... Although Meng Jing Xiu had notpleted her words, but her words were very clear, that with Ning Chengs cultivation it was impossible to cross the Lost Mountain Range. Ning Cheng was silent for a moment and then spoke, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, although I have entrusted Yue Ying, but I am still somewhat worried about Luo Fei in my heart. Even if the Lost Mountain Range was synonymous to death, I will have to try and pass through it. Saying that Ning Cheng also took out a Storage Bag and handed it to Meng Jing Xiu and said, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, inside this Storage Bag contains 100,000 High Grade Spirit Stones, you can take these and cultivate, inside you will also find a Best Quality Spirit Stone. If at the time when you try to advance to the Essence Building Realm, if you have not procured an Essence Building Pill, then use this Best Quality Spirit Stone to breakthrough to the Essence Building Realm. Meng Jing Xiu shook her head as she hastily pushed those things back to Ning Cheng, Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, you have been always helping me, how can I take so many of your Spirit Stones, it simply will not do. Ning Cheng showed a faint smile as he spoke, You are looking for the Immortal Mansion, presumably in order to elerate your cultivation speed. Moreover, you are also a rogue cultivator at the moment, if you did not have any good resources, then wanting to improve your cultivation speed, is simply not possible. Moreover, I have also recently made quite a lot of profit, you know. Moreover, the number of High Grade Spirit Stones on me all added up is almost 500,000-600,000. Although Ning Cheng had 500,00-600,000 High Grade Spirit Stones, he knew that the rate at which he consumed them was definitely much more than Meng Jing Xiu. Meng Jing Xiu only had the cultivation of True Condensation Realm, as such a hundred thousand High Grade Spirit Stones should be more than sufficient for her. Meng Jing Xiu hesitated for a bit, before receiving the Storage Bag as she spoke, Thank you, Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng. She also learned Ruimu Danqins style of calling Ning Cheng as Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, she felt that this way if addressing was smoother to speak about, but would also make the rtion between her and Ning Cheng not so estranged. Ning Cheng did not care about it, he also wrote down his own Concealment Method and handed it to Meng Jing Xiu as he said, This is a Concealment Cultivation Method, you can use it afterwards. I am already ready to go; we definitely will meet again. Wait Wait...... Seeing Ning Cheng going towards the Lost Mountain Range, Meng Jing Xiu again stopped Ning Cheng. Chapter 0157 – Going to the Yi Xing Ocean Chapter 0157: Going to the Yi Xing Ocean Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, do you have something else to say? Ning Cheng stopped and looked at Meng Jing Xiu with some doubt as he asked. Meng Jing Xiu did not hesitate this time, and directly spoke, Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, I wanted to ask you to apany me on a trip to the Yi Xing Ocean...... Ning Cheng frowned, if he did not have anything else to do, then he would have definitely epted the request of Meng Jing Xiu. Besides apanying Meng Jing Xiu to the Yi Xing Ocean, was simply nothing to him. But at the moment he was already burning with impatience, and was anxious to fly back to the God Wind Academy in the Hua Continent. Meng Jing Xiu carefully spoke, Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, my father is a cultivator in the Military Outposts in the Yi Xing Ocean, my mother had also gone to look for my father, but has not yete back, so I am going to the Cultivator Armys Outposts in the Yi Xing Ocean to have a look. The reason I wanted you to apany me to the Yi Xing Ocean together, is so that you can cross the Lost Mountain Range. No wonder you have prepared these many maps in advance, looks like you had already intended toe to the Jia Continent from early on. Ning Cheng then understood why Meng Jing Xiu was so much clearer of the matters pertaining to the Jia Continent than he himself. Meng Jing Xiu gave an En sound and spoke, With your strength, Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, for you to be able to pass through the Lost Mountain Range, the possibility for that to happen is less than even 2%, this itself is already an extremely high estimate. Moreover, even if you, Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, somehow managed to pass through the Lost Mountain Range, I estimate that it would still take you at least 2 years to do so...... Ning Cheng stared at her foolishly, he wholeheartedly wanted to go and find Luo Fei, but had forgotten that with his strength he would not be able to cross the Lost Mountain Range by himself, and even if he could cross it, he would still need at least 1-2 years. Moreover, this was on the assumption that he did not encounter any dangerous situations, if he were to encounter any such situation, then maybe even in 2 years time he may not be able to pass through there. Seeing Ning Cheng finally sober up, moreover even looking a bit helpless, Meng Jing Xiu suddenly felt very sad in her heart, she simply couldnt wait to help Ning Cheng immediately cross the Lost Mountain Range, and see Ji Luo Fei. She and Ning Cheng had been together for a long time, as such she thought that she had now gained a certain understanding of Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng was a person that was firm and resolute, moreover he was a person who was also assertive in his opinions. Not only that, he always worked systematically, and in an extremely sensible but carefree manner, it gave the feeling that he was someone who they could rely on. But seeing his vacant and dazed expression now, in addition to this unknown Lost Mountain Range and the Jia Continent that he was not familiar with, she knew that the more important reason for such a thing to happen to him was because he was simply too worried about Ji Luo Fei. In fact, Meng Jing Xius guess was right, Ning Cheng was truly worried about Ji Luo Fei. In his mind and heart, Ji Luo Fei and his younger sister Ning Ruo Lan did not have a much difference in status, and were his closest rtives. When he had arrived in this Yi Xing Maind, it was equivalent to losing Ning Ruo Lan, as such he absolutely cannot lose even Ji Luo Fei. If he could give the Mysterious Yellow Bead to that cultivator surnamed Kang, and if the opposite party could let him and Ji Luo Fei off, he would simply not care about the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Whether or not the Mysterious Yellow Bead was a heaven defying precious thing, he did not give a damn about it. As Ning Cheng came from Earth, there were things that were more precious to him that it. But he was very clear, that as long as that cultivator surnamed Kang knew about this thing, then he and Ji Luo Fei would have to die without a doubt. The opposite party would never allow a cultivator who knew about the existence of the Mysterious Yellow Bead to calmly and steadily live in this world. Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng. I actually have a way to help you get back to the Hua Continent....... As Meng Jing Xiu just finish speaking those words, Ning Cheng joyfully held Meng Jing Xius shoulders as he spoke, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, do you really have a way? Quickly say it. Meng Jing Xiu did not push away Ning Chengs hand, but she tidied up her emotions and said, Do you know about the war going on in the Yi Xing Ocean? Ah yes I know about it. Its the War of the 3 Continents, I did not think that you would also know about it. Ning Cheng found himself to be too excited, and he immediately withdrew his hand. Fortunately, he and Meng Jing Xiu were already familiar with each other, so such a move was really not impolite. Moreover, when Ning Cheng came to the Cang Qin Province, he hade to know about the War of the 3 Continents within a few days, as for the specific situation, when he heard about it from Cang Shuo, he finally understood a few things about it. Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, actually the Yi Xing Oceans War is not just the War of the 3 Continents. The War of the 3 Continents is just something that is spoke in the Hua Continent and the other lower ss continents, moreover it is just a small part of the Yi Xing Oceans War. Its just a battle between some small fishes and shrimps. My father was in the Battlefields belonging to the Intermediate Level Continents, and as such had to deal with some of the genuine masters. Meng Jing Xiu corrected Ning Chengs view. Ning Cheng had listened to what Cang Shuo had spoken, he had said that Hua Continent was only the rear end of the battlefield, as such the war was not very intense there. They were there to mainly provide some menial assistance in the war. Cang Shuos father was also there to provide some assistance when he was secretly plotted against by his own people. Your fathers cultivation should be very high, right? Ning Cheng thought that since he coulde to the Yi Xing Oceans battlefields of the Intermediate Level Continent, then his cultivation would definitely not be bad. Meng Jing Xiu shook her head as she spoke, That is not the case. My fathers cultivation is only at Profound Congealing Realm. Moreover, the reason why my father could advance to the Profound Congealing Realm, was mainly due to the harvests and the rewards that he had obtained on the Yi Xing Oceans Battlefield. When my father had just joined the Yi Xing Oceans War, he only had the cultivation of Late Stage True Condensation Realm. The rewards and harvest of the Yi Xing Oceans War were simply too generous and extremely rich, as not only my father, but even the rest of the cultivators that joined, as long as they did not die, their cultivation rapidly soared. Are you a person originally from the Jia Continent? Ning Cheng had previously guessed that Meng Jing Xiu might be a person from the Jia Continent, otherwise her father would not be able to participate in the Yi Xing Oceans War from the Jia Continent. Thats right, when I was four years old, the Yi Xing Ocean erupted in a war on an extremelyrge scale. I heard my mother say, that countless cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean and the Monstrous Beast arrived at the coasts of the Yi Xing Maind. My father was not optimistic in winning this fight, so he made me and my mother go to the Hua Continent along with a merchant caravan that went through the Yi Xing Ocean....... Wait Wait...... Ning Cheng immediately grasped the focus of Meng Jing Xius words, since Meng Jing Xiu and her mother had taken a merchant caravan through the Yi Xing Ocean from the Jia Continent to the Hua Continent, then could he also not do the same? Meng Jing Xiu looked at Ning Cheng and spoke in an affirmative way, Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, you should be able to understand my meaning. To get to the Hua Continent from the Jia Continent, besides passing through the Lost Mountain Range, there is another way, that is to go from the Yi Xing Ocean. However, if you want to take the Yi Xing Oceans merchant caravans from the Yi Xing Ocean, it would generally be difficult to infiltrate the merchant caravan, as these merchant caravans and the thousands of Cultivator Army Battalions have an extremely intricate rtionship with each other. Initially the reason why my mother was able to take me on the merchant caravan to the Hua Continent, was because the power that my father wielded at that time was not small, moreover he also knew the people of the merchant caravans, and as such he could make the appropriate arrangements. Ning Cheng was a little disappointed and said, Since we do not know anyone from the merchant caravan, moreover we also do not have any rtion with the cultivator army, wouldnt it be too difficult to join the merchant caravan to return to the Hua Continent? Thats not it, Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, in fact, in addition to joining to the merchant caravan, there is another way, and that is to join the cultivator army. Then find a way to enter one of the patrol squads, the airships of the patrol squad are high level ones, moreover the speed of it is also very fast. Most importantly, besides being stopped by Monstrous Beast, the patrol squad would have an unimpeded flight all across the Yi Xing Ocean. As long as Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng is able to follow the patrol squad to the Hua Continents territory in the Yi Xing Ocean, then you can escape from the military service, and secretly enter the Hua Continent. Before I used to think of this way to enter the Jia Continent, but now it is simply irrelevant. Listening to the end of Meng Jing Xius words, Ning Cheng did not reply immediately, he knew that although Meng Jing Xiu was clever, but her life experience is simply too poor. Although Meng Jing Xius approach seemed to be very good, moreover it was even workable, but Ning Cheng knew that there was loophole in there that was not small. Not to mention that a patrol squad would not patrol such arge distance, the cultivators stationed in the Yi Xing Ocean and maind that have already joined the military, would have certainly formed a certain system and restraint mechanisms. For a patrol squad of the cultivator army to casually go out, although it looked easy, it fact, it was not easy at all. However,pared to passing through the Lost Mountain Range, this approach was actually much better. Seeing Ning Cheng silent, Meng Jing Xiu once again spoke, Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, if you can join the cultivator army, then find an opportunity to join the patrol, you could even get to the Hua Continent in as long as six months or even less. At most it would not take more than a year, as such it is definitely much more worthwhile than crossing the Lost Mountain Range. Then thats good, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, then this the thing that we will do. First we will go the coast of the Yi Xing Ocean, if we can join the merchant caravan then that would be the best, if we cannot join the merchant caravan then we can join the cultivator army. From here to the Yi Xing Oceans coast, how long would it take? Ning Cheng spoke as he quickly made up his mind. When Meng Jing Xiu saw that Ning Cheng had agreed, she immediately spoke with joy, Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, this is the Mo La River. From here we have to go to the Jia Continents Chang Mo City, it will take us about five days. After we reach Chang Mo City, we can then take the Transfer Array, and directly teleport to Xi Hai City that is closest to the Yi Xing Ocean. Xi Hai City has a recruitment station for recruiting cultivator soldiers, moreover there is a lot of caravan activity there, so we can try our luck in the Xi Hai City. When you reach the Xi Hai City, what would you do? Ning Cheng knew that Meng Jing Xiu wanted to seek out her parents, but just how many cultivators were there in the Jia Continents Garrison? It was simply innumerable; just where would she look? Besides, who knows if after all these years, her father was still in the Jia Continents territory of the Yi Xing Ocean? When I was nine years old, my mother came back alone to the Jia Continent to seek out my father. I believe that they must have stayed in Xi Hai City, I will slowly look around the Xi Hai City. Meng Jing Xiu spoke in a resolute manner. Seeing that Meng Jing Xiu had already decided, Ning Cheng also did not say much, but still spoke in a cushioned manner, It is possible for us to go to the Xi Hai City, but we will have to disguise ourselves, if by chance we were discovered by that cultivator surnamed Kang, then that would be the death for us. ...... The Jia Continent was sparsely popted, even walking for hundreds of miles, it was normal to not meet even a single human soul. At this time in the Jia Continent, on the edge of a narrow mountain path, there was a middle aged couple walking rapidly. The mans hair was somewhat disorderly, and there was even a faint scar on his face, while he carried a long twin ded sword on his back that looked very heavy. The rough hands along with the knife scar on his face, made people feel a ferocious aura emanating from this middle aged man. On the side of this middle aged man was a middle aged woman wearing a blue womans robe, this womans looks could not be considered ugly, but it also did not have the look of a delicate skin that indicated that she was a refineddy. It was obvious, that this couple was actually a mercenary couple. Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, somehow I feel that there is something not right here, this feeling is something indescribable. The speaker was the woman in the blue robe. These two people were none other than Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu, both of them had decided to disguise themselves as a mercenary couple. Such kinds of mercenary couples, no matter which continent it was, they were innumerable numbers of them, and as such were simply unremarkable. More importantly, Ning Cheng did not dare to fly, or even use a flight type Magic Weapon. At this time, if he took out his flying sword to fly, it would be really showing off himself as a target. Ning Cheng spoke in an extremely low voice, There is something truly wrong with this ce, I can feel that there is not even a single sound here. Not even a tiny little voice, or even the sounds of animals and birds moving around. Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, can you use your flying sword to fly now? I really do not like this ce. Meng Jing Xiu asked in a low voice. Ning Cheng shook his head, I have already tried, there is a huge maic field here, that is creating a naturally urring Spatial Restriction, one cannot simply fly high, or even fly quickly, moreover even ones Spiritual Consciousness is limited here. Once we fly, we would bepletely exposed. Lets put that thought away for now, we have to pick up our speed. Chapter 0158 – The Grave Which Was Split Open Chapter 0158: The Grave Which Was Split Open With Jing Xiu sticking close to Ning Cheng, the two of them picked up their speed. However, this mountain path seemed to go on endlessly, moreover they had been walking for almost a full day, and the sky was already getting dark gradually, but they still had not gotten off this mountain path. Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng...... Meng Jing Xiu felt that something was not right, as she subconsciously called out. Even if she had to face death, she was not afraid, but this strangeness made her feel really ufortable to the point that she could not adapt to it. Ning Cheng stopped, as he looked at the surrounding around him and suddenly said, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, I think that we do not need to go up. Its not that this mountain path is very long, its that both of us have entered an Illusion Array. Illusion Array? Meng Jing Xiu subconsciously repeated the words, she did not understand Array Formations, and as such did not know the fearful nature of an Array Formation. Once people who understood that they have entered an Illusion Array, then even if they wanted toe out, it would be extremely difficult. Even if it was not controlled manually, for a person to enter an Illusion Array, it was still quite possible that they may end up dying. Ning Cheng hinted Meng Jing Xiu to not be anxious, Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, we have not necessarily entered the Illusion Array, perhaps this path really is very long. I also know a thing or two about Array Formations, if it really was an Illusion Array, then I should have already perceived it. Since I have not perceived it, then it indicates that it is not necessarily an Illusion Array. What do we do then? It was not until this point Meng Jing Xiu realised how difficult was it for a person in the Jia Continent to travel to the Yi Xing Ocean. If it was only her, then she really would not have known what to do. You dont need to worry, the sky is already dark, for the moment we will spend the night here tonight, tomorrow we will continue again. The Spiritual Qi in this ce is thin, so properly speaking there wont be any cultivators with good abilities that woulde in this direction. Only ordinary cultivators would most probably tread this path, as long as our opponent is not of the Profound Congealing Realm. They it would not be worth to be so cautious about. Ning Cheng spoke in an extremely stable manner. This time Meng Jing Xiu was not assertive. It was, of course, mainly because of the things that Ning Cheng said. While partly because she simply did not know what to do. Half an hourter, they left the winding mountain path, but on the contrary, entered into the depths of the mountain range. Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, this ce is so strange, why do we have toe this deep to dig out an Immortal Cave? Meng Jing Xiu knew that Ning Cheng wanted to dig an Immortal Cave deep in the mountains, and asked in a somewhat puzzled manner. Ning Chengughed and spoke, My hometown has a few words, the more dangerous the ce the safer it is. It should also apply here, but I on the contrary feel that staying overnight on the side of the road is kind of inappropriate. At this time, a burst of clip clop like sounds were transmitted, Meng Jing Xius heart immediately became tight, as this was the first sound that she had heard after she entered this barren piece of hill. Unconsciously she came closer to Ning Cheng, as she thought since when did this ce have footsteps? If it was a cultivator, then they would definitely not walk here in the middle of the night. Ning Cheng patted Meng Jing Xiu and spoke, I taught you the Concealment Method, use it to conceal your bodys aura. There were two different sounds of footsteps transmitted a moment ago, and at least one of the footsteps did not have a source of vitality in them. If it is not a zombie, then it should be a puppet. I have never seen a zombie, so I guess that it is a puppet made by a nefarious cultivator. We may not be able to take care of it right away. Lets wait for this puppet to walk away. Meng Jing Xiu gave an En sound, as she immediately activated the concealment technique to conceal her bodys aura. After the two concealed their Qis and auras, not much time had passed, when in the miserable looking white moonlight, the shadows of two people appeared, these two people were also carrying a wooden box between them. Theplexions of the two people under the pale moonlight looked iparably pale. They are dead...... Meng Jing Xiu spoke in a trembling low voice, although these dead corpses were still carrying something between them, obviously they were no different from zombies. Ning Cheng also spoke in a highly restrained manner, that was 20 times lower than her, They should be normal dead people, it seems that a cultivator had refined these ordinary people to create a corpse puppet. This cultivator is quite evil and cruel, to abruptly refine a living person into this kind of a walking corpse. Since he had studied Array Formation, so he had also studied some simple Body Puppet Techniques, so he was aware that to refine a live person into a walking corpse was a kind of Puppet Magic Art. But these magic arts were quite cruel and evil in nature, as such Ning Cheng did not have any interest in continuing to study them. At this time Ning Chengs Spiritual Consciousness fell at the wooden box that was being lifted in the middle of the two walking corpses. Seeing the person inside the box, he immediately yelled out in surprise. What is it? Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng? Meng Jing Xiu quickly asked. I know that person inside the wooden box, but how could she be in this ce? This woman had gone with Yue Ying and the others, so how could shee here? Ning Cheng replied to Meng Jing Xius words, but it was more like he was talking to himself. Who is it? Meng Jing Xiu quickly asked. That woman is the woman from the Wu Nian Academy who had a veil on her face, who had taken Yue Ying, Junior Apprentice Sister Danqin and Cang Shuo, to join the Wu Nian Academy. She had the cultivation of True Condensation 9th Level, moreover she had a Late Stage Essence Building Cultivator at her side, who was extremely powerful, so how could she be captured in such a remote ce, moreover it seems that her cultivation is also sealed up? Ning Cheng replied in a confused manner. Meng Jing Xiu also froze for a moment, and then immediately spoke out, Isnt Wu Nian Academy in the Le Continent? Properly speaking, if she was transmitted out, then she should have transmitted to the Le Continent, so how could she be in the Hua Continent? After saying this, Meng Jing Xiu knew that she was focussing on the wrong things, the main point was that she was the core disciple of the Wu Nian Academy, if she was here then where did Junior Apprentice Sister Danqin and the others go to? Then what do we do? Just as Meng Jing Xiu asked those words, Ning Cheng suddenly covered her mouth, while simultaneouslypletely restraining the aura in his body. Meng Jing Xiu was already iparably more intelligent than others, moreover she also had a quite an astonishingprehension ability. As such Ning Cheng did not have to remind her again, she knew what she had to do, as she immediately alsopletely restrained the aura in her entire body, gradually she and Ning Cheng integrated into the surroundings, as if they had melted into the grass patches around them. Just as theypletely restrained their auras, a tyrannical Spiritual Consciousness swept towards them. But this Spiritual Consciousness did not stop, but rather quickly swept past them, before disappearingpletely in a short while. Meng Jing Xius forehead immediately broke out in cold sweat, she knew that once they were caught by this Spiritual Consciousness, she and Ning Cheng were finished. Ning Cheng had still not released Meng Jing Xiu, as he spoke in a whispering voice, This person definitely has the cultivation of the Profound Congealing Realm, however I should be able to deal with him, as at least my Spiritual Consciousness is a lot stronger than his. After being silent for a moment, Ning Cheng once again spoke, The difference between Profound Congealing Realm and Essence Building Realm is not only the True Essence that is more formidable, but also the formation of an embryonic form of the Core Lake, if that is only it then it is nothing much at all, but in the unexpected case of him/her cultivating even a bit of a superior intent, then we would not even have a slight chance of winning. Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, do you want to save her? Meng Jing Xiu asked in a quivering voice, it was not that she did not want to save the woman with the veil, but Ning Cheng would have to deal with a cultivator of the Profound Congealing Realm to save her life, it was simply an egg being thrown at a rock. Ning Cheng once again spoke in a whisper, I must save her, Yue Ying, Danqin and Cang Shuo were together with this person, but now she is captured like this, then what happened to Yue Ying and the others? I had hoped for the God Wind Academy to protect Luo Fei, but now that the disciples of the God Wind Academy are possibly involved in some ident, how can I keep myself out of it? Besides, when I saw her, moreover once again, it can be considered as to be at least acquainted with this person, as such if I saw her in danger and did not at least do something to save her, then it would really be something not decent. Then we shall go together. Meng Jing Xiu saw that Ning Cheng had already decided firmly, she also simultaneously spoke from the side. Ning Cheng nodded, You be careful while tightly following behind me, remember, regardless of whatever ce, we have to conceal our aura. This fellow has most probably just advanced to the Profound Congealing Realm, as such his cultivation is currently unstable, as a result his Core Lake has yet to fully form. As long as we are not discovered by him before we start, then there are some prospects of us seeding. If Meng Jing Xiu stayed here, Ning Cheng would definitely be worried about her. He confirmed that the purple robed wearing woman was being delivered to somewhere inside of the mountain, moreover she would be carried to that ce by those corpse puppets, however he also confirmed that these corpse puppets did not seem to havee from the mountain. Good. Meng Jing Xiu also absolutely did not have any objection. Anyhow she had already decided that regardless of what Ning Cheng decided she would not oppose it. ...... The two corpse puppets carrying the wooden box entered a more secluded gorge. Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu carefully followed the two corpse puppets, but did not dare to begin yet. Ning Cheng was clear that he could not use his Spiritual Consciousness to keep a look on the box, as such he had to use all his faculties to keep a close watch on the wooden crate. For him to kill the two corpse puppets was truly simple, but after finishing off the corpse puppets, then wanting to escape from this ce would really be difficult. If he wanted to rescue this woman wearing a veil in her face, then he would have to secretly kill that Profound Congealing Realm Cultivator. He was only an Early Stage Essence Building Realm Cultivator, so for him to kill a Profound Congealing Realm Cultivator, other than him executing a sneak attack, there was no other better way. The two corpse puppets in front of them turned a corner, Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu also picked up speed, after he neared the two corpse puppets, he suddenly took out the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle. The 7 Pleiades Ice Needle, in just a sh, disappeared in the darkness of the night, although it disappeared right in front of her, Meng Jing Xiu did not perceive Ning Chengs actions. After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, the two corpse puppets stopped in front of an overgrown grave. The two corpse puppets put down the wooden box and opened it, letting the purple robed woman to fall to the ground in front of the grave. Afterpleting these tasks, the two corpse puppets lifted the wooden box, as they turned around and walked once again back onto their original path they had taken, it was as if they did not know what exhaustion meant. Ning Cheng and Meng Jing Xiu hadpletely concealed their aura as they hid in a thick patch of grass on the periphery of the grave, while turningpletely motionless. At this time the silence of the mountain valley was suddenly broken by some sounds, this was the sound of rustling of a shrub in the wind, but under the backdrop of the pale moonlight, it appeared even more strange. After this mountain breeze blew past, the tombstone before the grave suddenly split open, as a gloomy aura seeped out from the inside. Then a woman wearing a green dress suddenly appeared in sh from inside the tomb, as she directly went and picked up the purple robed woman lying in front of the tomb, and then turned around before going into the tomb once again. The grave that had split open, once again slowly closed up. Just as Ning Cheng saw the grave starting to shut, he immediately picked up Meng Jing Xiu as he, in just a twinkling of an eye, shed to the inside. Then they immediately hid in a corner, and once again becamepletely motionless. He was d that this time that Profound Congealing Realm Cultivator had not used his Spiritual Consciousness to sweep through this passage, if he had swept through with it at this time, then he would have definitely been found out. Meng Jing Cheng who was still being held by Ning Cheng, once again spoke in a trembling voice, Senior Apprentice Brother Xiao Cheng, was that woman from a moment ago also a corpse puppet? Ning Cheng also quickly replied in a whisper, No, she was a live person. But her whole body was filled with extremely heavy Yin Energy, I guess that she cultivates some strange Cultivation Method. Junior Apprentice Sister Jing Xiu, from now on, if it is not a particrly urgent matter, it would be better if you did not make any sound. Meng Jing Xiu also hurriedly nodded, as Ning Cheng once again went into hiding with her in a more secluded corner. It was not until this time, Ning Cheng finally started to carefully observe the situation inside with his Spiritual Consciousness. Chapter 0159 – Extreme Scum of the Society Chapter 0159: Extreme Scum of the Society Inside the tomb, there was a nting staircase descending down, but Ning Cheng did not sweep too far with his Spiritual Consciousness, and just extended it to the range of 10 meters. But the staircase was definitely more than 10 meters in length, because of which Ning Cheng also did not continue to search for the bottom. Since at the moment he was in the territory of a Profound Congealing Cultivator, he had to be extremely careful with his actions. Ning Cheng carefully reviewed every inch of the stone staircase with his Spiritual Consciousness and came to the conclusion that this stone staircase was not build by this Profound Congealing Cultivator. It was very likely that this Profound Congealing Cultivator had found this ce identally, then discovered that this ce was beneficial to him, and as such took it as his own residence. Ning Cheng, as he went down the staircase of this tomb, carefully arranged an Entrapment and Killing Array along the way, then he carefully and slowly moved down the staircase. Although he was not much dependent on this Entrapment and Killing Array, but just in case he had to escape from his opponent, this Entrapment and Killing Array could at least buy him the precious time that he needed to escape. This stone staircase was very long, the downward they went the more humid and dark it became. Ning Cheng was really wondering why a Profound Congealing Cultivator would even choose this kind of ce. Was cultivating in this kind of ce that good? However, as Ning Cheng went farther down, he slowly understood why the other party would want to cultivate here. This tomb was not only deep and humid, but it had an extremely rich and heavy Spiritual Qi. But this Spiritual Qi was filled with a very vile and evil aura, which made Ning Cheng really ufortable. This was also felt by Meng Jingxiu, but because her cultivation was too low, she could only follow Ning Cheng from behind and as such did not have to bear the brunt of it. They walked very slowly, and after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu finally stepped onto the bottom of the staircase. There was a small stone structure that was simr to a stone hut in front of them, and at all the four corners of the stone structure, there was a burning stove. Although this stone structure had four ming stoves, but Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu still felt a chill. Even the fire in those stoves was giving out an iparably cold feeling. There was a corridor on both sides of the stone structure. Ning Cheng was thinking that he should pick the corridor on the left, but then the corridor on the right gave a Shen Yin sound. Ning Cheng hinted at Meng Jingxiu to keep following him, as the two of them carefully ducked into the corridor on the right. At the end of the corridor were two more stone structures simr to houses, that Shen Yin sound wasing from one of the stone structure. [TL Note C The part Shen Yin in the above lines was actually written in the raws in English, so we chose to let it be like that. For those who are confused about it, Shen Yin roughly means To moan/To groan. For more information, you can even google it and see.] The stone structure did not have any doors, moreover the restrictions ced on it were also not broken in. Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu hid behind the left most corner column. From this point they could clearly see the scene inside the right stone structures through the window like slits on the walls. But when Meng Jingxiu looked at that scene, she immediately turned red in the face. Fortunately, she was aware of what kind of ce they were in, as such she immediately concentrated on concealing her aura. One had to say, Ning Chengs Concealment Cultivation Method really went against the heavens, as to whether or not the opposite party had any idea about them, she did not know, but at least for now, Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu were not discovered. In the stone structure that was across from them, there was a dishevelled man and the green robed woman Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu had seen earlier, pressed against each other on a wooden bed. Moreover, they seemed to be shaking their body with all their might. That green robed womans robe was already torn to pieces, and was lying on the wooden bed crying out Shen Yin, they simply did not know if she was crying out in pain or in bliss. As for that woman from the Wu Nian Academy, the one wearing a veil on her face, she was simply left at the foot of the bed, it seems that the man did not have the time to even look at her body. Ning Cheng hade from Earth, as such he also had seen some small movies of such things, but this man did not even have half the appeal of the men in those movies. It just made himpletely despise him in his heart. But this mans cultivation was formidable, Ning Cheng guessed that the Spiritual Consciousness that swept out before was originally from this person. However, Meng Jingxiu was different, she had never seen such kind of thing, so just seeing this kind of thing even for just a short while made her whole body feel somewhat weak. In the beginning Ning Cheng had not minded Meng Jingxiu movements, for a while he even considered Meng Jingxiu to be a man on the outside, as such he had thought that even if she saw such a thing she would not make a fuss about it. However now that Meng Jingxius blood flow had rapidly increased, wouldnt this invite trouble for them? The opposite party was a Profound Congealing Cultivator. But he had not yet discovered Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu, it was not that their cultivation was powerful, but it was because the Concealment Method employed by the two of them was simply too heaven defying. Furthermore, the two people were doing their utmost to not be noticed, otherwise they would not have been able to reach this far. It can be said that Ning Chengs n was already half done, if at this time, because of Meng Jingxius elerated blood flow, it implied that her heart was beating a lot faster than normal, as such it was likely that they would be found out. If they were discovered by this person then they would bepletely finished. Ning Cheng immediately grabbed Meng Jingxius hand. As he carefully channelled some of his True Essence into her to calm down her elerated flow of blood. But at this time, he did not dare to use his Spirit Cleansing Technique. Fortunately, Meng Jingxiu also knew that it was an extremely serious matter, as such she forcefully stabilised herself while borrowing the help of Ning Cheng. As her hearts restlessness finally calmed down, she once againpletely hid herself in the surroundings along with him. Ning Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately this cultivator at the Profound Congealing Realm waspletely high on his enjoyment. Otherwise, it would not have been something good for them. Meng Jingxiu thought that Ning Cheng was going to begin at this time, as ording to her it was the best time to make a surprise attack. In actuality, even Ning Cheng, at that time, was taking this into consideration, but the present scene that he was seeing was not something in his calctions. Moreover, he was certain that if at this time he really started acting out his n, then he would certainly be able to make that Profound Congealing Cultivator eat a huge loss. As Ning Cheng hesitated whether or not he should act, an angry voice exploded from the outside. Ning Cheng also heard this cold and angry voice, and immediately suppressed his desires of acting out his ns. That haggard looking man was almost finished, but when he heard the cold and angry voice, he immediately got down from the green robed woman. Before he could even speak, a woman wearing a blue dress immediatelynded on the opposite side of the room. When Ning Cheng saw this blue robed woman, his heart immediately sank, he did not dare to sweep this woman with his Spiritual Consciousness. However, he was sure that the cultivation of this woman, was at the very least at Profound Congealing Realm. If there was only a single Profound Congealing Cultivator, he could still dare to act, but now that there were two Profound Congealing Cultivators here, he began to consider if he really should back away. Sikong Kai, you son of a bitch, this olddy had painstakingly helped with all your hard work, and you even carried off this old womans ve behind my back....... This blue robed womans expression was extremely angry at the moment, as she even raised her hands and gave two ps on his ears. This man called Sikong Kai gave an awkwardugh as he spoke, Jiao Jiao, I have waited for you for a long while, but you did note back, moreover this was not something that you wanted to do, so I first...... Dog shit...... The woman called Jiao Jiao shouted angrily, as she lifted her hand. The green robed woman seeing her immediately sat up as she awkwardly tried to hide her naked body, but before she could even do anything, that green robed woman was immediately cleaved in half. This Sikong Kaisplexion immediately became ugly, but he did not attack, but rather said, Jiao Jiao, since you have killed that person, you should have calmed down right? Sikong Kai, you shameless thing, although this old woman has just killed her today, but tomorrow you will bring a few more here, these kinds of bitches I have already killed too many...... The old woman was still extremely angry. Sikong Kai grunted, but did not argue, as he turned to that purple robed woman. He casually picked her up from the ground, and threw her on the wooden bed and said, I heard that this woman has a high quality Spiritual Root, and so will....... As Sikong Kai spoke, he had already pulled the veil off the purple robed womans face. But when he saw the appearance of this purple robed woman, he immediately became stunned, as hepletely forgotten the words he wanted to say. Not to say that Sikong Kai waspletely stunned, but even the woman called Jiao Jiao was also stunned as she looked at the purple robed woman on the wooden bed. This woman was simply too beautiful, both of them could swear that they had never seen such a beauty in their entire lives. A face so perfect that it could be said to havee from a beautiful and exquisite painting of the fairies. This simple yet unparalleled beautiful face, even with her eyes closed, would not let a person allow them to shift their eyes from it, once this woman wakes up and opened her eyes, wouldnt her beauty entrance the entire world? Even Ning Cheng who was looking from afar, was also extremely shocked, but fortunately he knew what kind of danger he was in at the moment, as he immediately curbed the shock in his mind. Although he had also seen a lot of beautiful woman, his former girlfriend Tian Muwan, as well as An Yi and Yue Ying, and even Meng Jingxiu and Meng Yujing, all of them were extremely beautiful girls. However, Ning Cheng believed that even these beauties were inferior to the purple robed woman before him. Before when he saw only the womans eyes, he could tell that she was very beautiful, but now the sight in front of him was extremely stunning. No wonder she must use the veil to cover up her face, if such a beautiful and exquisite face was revealed to the world, it waspletely capable of bringing disaster to even an entire country full of people. So pretty...... For a moment Sikong Kai muttered those words to himself in a daze. Jiao Jiaos eyebrows immediately pricked up, she reached out her hand to grab this purple robed woman, as she said, Since you were saying to me toe earlier a while ago...... Sikong Kai quickly stepped in front of her, No, this woman, I have to take this one, after this, I guarantee to you that...... Dog shit...... Jiao Jiao immediately called a second time Sikong Kai as Dog shit, while she simultaneously raised her hand as a flying sword immediately appeared, the next moment the flying sword immediately released a sword light as it cut towards the purple womans neck. Dang an impact sound resounded inside this crypt, as it instantly reverberated into a louder sound. This was because of Sikong Kai using his Magic Weapon to block the attack from Jiao Jiao, it was obvious that the purple robed womans attraction on him was simply too great. Good, Sikong Kai, you unexpectedly dare toy a hand on this old woman, you, you...... This effeminate woman called Jiao Jiao was really angry, but then she actually turned around and rushed out of the house, and soon disappeared. Ning Cheng secretly rxed, he knew that the woman had left this crypt. He only hoped that that woman neveres back during the time that he had to deal with this Sikong Kai. When this woman left, this Sikong Kai did not care at all, as once again, his eyes fell onto the body of the purple robed woman, while his eyes simultaneously shed with a joyful and vigorous light. At this moment, in his eyes, there was only the purple robed woman. Ning Cheng patted Meng Jingxius hands, as he hinted her to temporarily not move, while he himself carefully moved towards the entrance of the opposite stone structure. Since he had to sneak attack, then he had to be closer. He knew that at this moment the only option was for the sneak attack to seed, if it failed then it was quite possible for the three people here to die. Sikong Kai stared at the purple robed woman for quite a long while, finally he was unable to dispel the fire in his eyes, as he raised his hands and immediately tore off his clothes. Before when he was doing the deed with the green robed woman, he had not taken off his clothespletely, but at this time he simply could not bear topletely strip himself naked. Ning Cheng was secretly despising him in his heart, with this kind of innocent look on the face of the purple robed woman, the first feeling that cropped up in his heart was that he could not bear to let her get hurt. Moreover, this Sikong Kai simply did not even attend to the corpse of the green robed woman who he was just enjoying himself with and was just killed a moment ago. What was even more disgusting was that he was still in the mood to go on, this kind of guy was simply the most extreme scum of the society that could ever exist. Chapter 0160 – Serious Injury Chapter 0160: Serious Injury After Sikong Kai ripped off his clothes, he then extended his hand towards the front of the purple robed womans clothes. But at this time, from the front piece of cloth on the purple robed woman suddenly a pale and weak light shot out. This light rays speed was extremely fast, in addition to such a close distance between them, he still hadnt sobered up from his desire, when that light shot into his chest. When the weak and pale looking ray of light entered his chest, Sikong Kais True Essence immediately stagnated. He immediately came to know that he was being plotted against by someone, and his first reaction was to first wrap the thing that pierced into his chest. Despite being in a rush, he was only a bit confused, but not nervous. As a cultivator with the cultivation of Profound Congealing Realm, when that ray of light pierced into his chest, he had immediately realized that it was merely a needle-shaped artefact. Using a needle type artefact to plot against him, it seems that they had grossly underestimated him. As long as he was given just two breaths of time, he could easily extract this needle artefact. Ning Cheng was already controlling the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle to attack, how could he give Sikong Kai even two breathes time to rest? Even if it was half a breath of time, he would still not give it to him. Almost at the same time the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle sessfullypleted its sneak attack, a Golden Axe Light simultaneously swept towards Sikong Kai together with it. This was the Angry Axes Second Form, [Tornado]. This was not only Ning Cheng fastest attack, but it also utilised his most powerful Axe Intent to kill. Ning Cheng fully realized that a sneak attack was the main focus in this battle, so when had to strike, then he had to strike to kill, once he entered into a deadlock with the other person, that is if the previous sneak attack failed, then it would really turn extremely perilous for him. In case he had to face him head on with the intent to kill, Ning Cheng was fully aware that he was not a match against a cultivator in the Profound Congealing Realm. Just as the powerful Golden Axes Killing Intent took the shape of the tornado, the next instant it directly bombed onto Sikong Kais Dantian. This move contained the extremely powerful Angry Axe Type Killing Intent, so when Sikong Kai felt the powerful Axes Killing Intent, he immediately became startled in his heart. He sensed that this sneak attack was not as simple as he had thought it out to be. He never considered that the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle was capable enough to approach his Dantian, as a result he simply ignored it and immediately brought out a pitch ck Mourning Soul. Bang...... An explosive sound of something sting open resounded throughout the stone chamber, which then immediately blew up the rest of the things in the entire stone chamber. Just below the stone chamber, when the floor was actually broken open, it revealed a shiny ck hole. There was a rancid smelling from the inside this hole. Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu did not need to use their Spiritual Consciousness to observe it, they immediately knew that there were a lot of corpses inside there. The Golden Great Axes Killing Intent formed into a tornado by Ning Cheng was unexpectedly blocked by Sikong Kai, and only left a few bloody scratches on Sikong Kais Dantian area Meng Jingxiu who was watching from the side, immediately felt her heart sinking, she knew that this Axe Attack was probably Ning Chengs most powerful move, but such a move could not even wound Sikong Kai, that is to say that today would definitely be fraught with grim possibilities. Just as Meng Jingxiu understood this and was about to rush up to help, she saw Sikong Kai throw out a punch at Ning Cheng. But Ning Cheng was not in a position to even receive a single punch from this Sikong Kai, it was because the True Essence fluctuations that wereing from the opposite party really had weakened him considerably. Ning Cheng immediately started to burn his Essence Blood, Meng Jingxiu could see it in one nce. Once thebustion of the Essence Blood was very big, Meng Jingxiu knew that there would be no turning back for Ning Cheng then. Peng...... Sikong Kais punch immediately collided with Ning Chengs chest, as Ning Cheng was sent flying, while at the same time a sudden booming sound emerged from Sikong Kais chest. Meng Jingxiu quickly ran out. As she immediately caught Ning Cheng, she was immediately shocked to discover that the half of Sikong Kais stomach had simply disappeared. Moreover, all the internal organs werepletely fried, without any exceptions. As a bout of weakness washed over him, Sikong Kais desire to kill hadpletely skyrocketed, he had not thought that the opposite party would be so resolute, that he would make the Ice Needle Artefact to explode inside his body. He must seize the opportunity to kill Ning Cheng, but then Sikong Kai discovered that he could not muster up his True Essence at all, in addition when he saw Meng Jingxiu emerging. He knew that he was no longer in a condition to fight, so he immediately turned around to run away. But Ning Cheng who was still a bit sluggish could not bear to let him escape as he immediately burned up even more of his Essence Blood, as he immediately wielded the Great Axe with both of his hands. Another Golden Axe Trace rumble across, but this Golden Axe Trace did not spill out even a bit of Killing Force, as it turned in an extremely thin Axe Shadow as it descended upon Sikong Kai, splitting him apart diagonally from his shoulder down to his waist. Puff...... Sikong Kais entire body was split into two halves because of this Axe Chop. But even if this was the case, the top half of Sikong Kais body could still unexpected move, and in just a twinkling of an eye rushed into the entrance of the stone chamber in which they were fighting and disappeared without a trace. Ning Cheng also did not hesitate, as he immediately threw out a few pieces of Array gs, immediately activating the Entrapment and Killing Array at the opening of the crypt entrance. Just a few breathster, a pitiful scream transmitted to them from the entrance of the crypt before itpletely turned silent. The time it took from the sneak attack to the fight was just a measly few breaths of time, it was simr to a falcon stalking and capturing a rabbit, it was simply abnormally fast. Just as Meng Jingxiu was prepared to lend a hand to help him, the battle was already over. As for the pitiful scream that was transmitted towards them, Meng Jingxiu was very clear about it, it was Sikong Kaisst dying scream. Meng Jingxiu knew that Ning Cheng had arranged an Entrapment and Killing Array outside, but she did not know that Ning Cheng had prepared this Entrapment and Killing Array to help them escape if the deed was impossible. Now seeing that Sikong Kai waspletely destroyed by this Entrapment and Killing Array, she immediately admired Ning Chengs foresight from the bottom of her heart. But at present Ning Cheng was very weak, as the corners of his mouth were overflowing with bloody froth, but even still he was very clear, that they had to leave this ce as soon as possible. Junior Apprentice Jingxiu, pick up Sikong Kais Storage Ring, we have to hurry up and escape from this ce, there is a stone bead on the side of the crypt to open it...... Hearing Ning Chengs words, Meng Jingxiu immediately woke up from her daze, as she immediately took away the Sikong Kais Storage Ring, then moving towards the purple robed woman who was still unconscious, she picked her up and put her on her back, then grabbing Ning Cheng she quickly rushed out of the stone chamber, quicklying out of the crypt. Ning Chengs injury at the moment was very critical, and as such immediately fainted. If during his sneak attack, if he had not worn the inner armour that was given to him from the old woman, that Sikong Kais single punch would have been more than enough to kill him a few times over. ...... Coming out of the crypt, Meng Jingxiu did not dare to turn her head back to look, she only knew that she had to run away from this ce with all her might. The night soon passed quickly, as light started to invade the sky showing the start of dawn, as Meng Jingxiu unexpectedly found herself outside of the mountains, she immediately became joyful as she picked up her speed once again. As an hour passed by, the sky turned bright, as Meng Jingxiu also saw the first vige. She quickly arrived at the outside of the vige. But then she immediately stopped herself with a Dang sound, as this entire vige gave her a scalp tingling sensation. This vige was iparably deathly still, it felt even more dismal whenpared to the crypt they were in. Meng Jingxiu used her Spiritual Consciousness to sweep at this vige, and could see the remains of the vige people inside. The scattered pieces of bodies made Meng Jingxiu cower a bit in her heart, she did not even dare to stay even for a single moment longer, moreover she also did not dare to enter the vige, she immediately bypassed the vige, as she once again picked up her speed. When Ning Cheng woke up, Meng Jingxiu was still running. But at this time her face was flushed red, and she was panting and sweating profusely, even her sweat had prated into Ning Chengs clothes. Not only that, even her footsteps were not steady. Ning Cheng immediately knew that Meng Jingxiu had excessively consumed her True Essence as he spoke, Junior Apprentice Sister Jingxiu...... Senior Apprentice Brother Xiaocheng, you are awake? Meng Jingxiu spoke in a surprised way, as she stopped. En, you should have travelled for a long period of time, so its Ok to have some rest, right, how long was I unconscious for? Ning Cheng knew that since his Meridians had been remoulded because of the nourishment from the Mysterious Yellow Origin, so although that punch was really powerful, as long as he woke up, then he could slowly recover, it was only a matter of time. I have been running for seven or eight hours, I was afraid that that woman would pursue us, as such I have been running continuously. Meng Jingxiu then turned her head to look at the purple robed woman on her back as she spoke, She seems to have still not woken up, moreover I also do not know any method to wake her up. It should be all right, you dont need to continue and run, we first have to find a ce to stay, so that I can start healing. Ning Cheng knew that if he could not recover from his injuries, then with Meng Jingxius speed, even if they ran for several days and several nights, they would not be able to escape from the pursuit of a Profound Congealing Cultivator. Only when his injuries werepletely healed, could he pursue other ways to escape. Unfortunately, he had to blow up his 7 Pleiades Ice Needle, as such he had one less lifesaving defensive weapon in his future. But after an hour, Meng Jingxiu along with Ning Cheng and the purple robed woman finally arrived in a small town, and settled down in an inn. Because the purple robed woman was still in aa, and Ning Cheng was also still injured, Meng Jingxiu wanted to take arge room, so that the three of them could stay in the same ce. As such she took arge room, that had two smaller rooms inside, she and the purple robed woman took one of the rooms, so that she could take care of her, while Ning Cheng took the other room for himself. Because Ning Chengs serious injuries had not yet healed, so he could only arrange a simple Concealment Array Formation, before he started concentrating on his healing. As a day passed by, Ning Chengs condition finally stabilised. Because he was hurt too heavily, so in the case of having no Advance Levelled Healing Pills, he could only slowly recover. Ning Cheng also requested Meng Jingxiu to not go out immediately, and continue to stay in the inn. As he wanted to tidy up and reorganise the things that he had obtained, especially the two rings and the mirror that he had obtained in the Angry Axe Valley. Of these three things that he had obtained, Ning Cheng had already wanted to examine them, but he never had the time to do till now. Since for the moment he was free, so he first took out the ring in which the Soul Essence had hid himself. Compared to the mirror, Ning Cheng wanted to know if there was anything good inside the ring. Ning Cheng was also very clear that this ring was able to amodate a Soul Essence, as such this ring was absolutely not as simple as it looked. Ordinary Storage Bags and Rings, did not have any means to hold a Soul Essence. Possibly because the Soul Essence had to frequentlye in and out of the ring, as such the restriction ced on the ring was not veryplex, and merely in just an hour, Ning Cheng hadpletely broken the restriction ced on the ring. When he saw the inside of the ring, Ning Cheng was immediately shocked. He did not know whether to ssify this ring as rich or poor. Inside the ring there were only three things, the first was Pill Furnace, and the second was also a Pill Furnace. But the third thing was an enormous pile of High Grade Spirit Stones, Ning Cheng tried to count it for a bit, and found that this pile of High Grade Spirit Stones was at least several millions in number. Other than that, it did not have any Spiritual Grasses, Pills, Jade Pieces, or even a Magic Weapon. Ning Cheng frowned, he was sure that the log cabin would contain some other things, maybe the Soul Essences Magic Weapon was also hidden there, but he simply had no time to check it out thoroughly. For such a formidable master, it was impossible for him to not have a Magic Weapon. But he could not find a single one in his ring, moreover he also did not find any other things rted to cultivators inside, it showed that this ring that was of that Soul Essence that he had destroyed was different from other rings. He temporarily did not remove the contents of this ring, as Ning Cheng took out the other ring. This ring, he guessed that it should be that of Han Xian. Although he had never met Han Xian, but Ning Cheng had a very good impression of her. If not for the Immortal Cave of Han Xian, he would not have advanced this quickly. Chapter 0161 – An Old Lady Chapter 0161: An Old Lady The Restriction on Han Xians ring was still intact, moreover there was no trace of being broken into, this made Ning Cheng feel some doubts. Ning Cheng did not go through numerous ways to try and opening the ring, but rather decided to use the blood refining approach to slowly whet away the Restriction on Han Xians ring. But after Ning Cheng finally broke open the ring, he immediately turned speechless. Other than a pile womens clothing, there were only a variety of strange odd materials. Ning Cheng picked up a few of these materials, but found himself not knowing what they were, but he was sure that they were definitely not some kind of artefact crafting materials. But what was an even more distinguishing characteristic of this ring was that there were tons of fanciful womens lingerie. If not for Ning Cheng knowing that this ring was absolutely not from Earth, he would have even suspected the origins of Han Xian. The materials of these lingerie were as thin as a cicadas wing, as long as they were put on they would present an iparable sex appeal. To put it bluntly, it did this without even exposing the body. In Ning Chengs opinion, Han Xian was an extremely serious and refined woman. However, from the different kinds of shy lingerie, Ning Chengs impression of her suddenly changed. Other than these clothes and some other odd materials, Ning Cheng did not see even a single magic weapon or a spiritual grass, not even the crumbs of even a single Spirit Stone. Ning Cheng was extremely disappointed as he put the ring away, and then finally took out the mirror. This mirror was the thing that Ning Cheng was very much looking forward to, it was because he had found this mirror after he was attracted to Han Xians Immortal Cave at the bottom of the river after sensing the faint Origin Auraing from it. The mirror had an oval shape, and the frame had a touch of a purple glow on it. As to the materials used to craft this mirror, Ning Cheng did not know about it, but he at least thought that this mirror was exceptionally clear. The tray of the mirror was a rectangr block, when Ning Cheng swept it with his Spiritual Consciousness, he discovered that his Spiritual Consciousness could not prate it at all, so he could only check it out with his hand, but found it to be empty inside. Ning Cheng traced around all the four sides along the rectangr wooden block, and found a raised bump on one of its edge, and subconsciously pressed down with his hand a bit. Ka Chang a sound emerged, as the rectangr block of wood actually fell down, and a wrapped up Talisman fell in front of Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng picked up the wrapped up Talisman and then tearing off the bindings that wrapped it, a pale water coloured bead rolled into Ning Chengs hand. An intense water attributed Origin Aura was emanating from it, Ning Cheng immediately became iparably anxious in his heart. At this point he absolutely had no thoughts about the beautiful and attractive bead, but what he was anxious was to how to put away this bead. This kind of formidable Origin Aura was absolutely impossible to be blocked by cing it in his Storage Bag, if he had known about this before he opened it, that the thing inside contained a bead that had such a powerful Origin Aura, he would have rather not opened it all. Ning Chengs reaction was extremely swift. Although he anxious to the extreme, he knew that the only solution for this problem was that he had to put this water coloured Origin Bead into the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Although he knew that the Mysterious Yellow Bead could store things, but he had actually never tried to put anything inside. But at this time, he could not consider anything else, as he immediately sent the Origin Bead in hand directly into the Mysterious Yellow Bead. In fact, the Mysterious Yellow Origin Bead did not even wait for Ning Cheng to send the water coloured Origin Bead to it. The Mysterious Yellow Bead had already felt the water coloured Origin Bead in Ning Chengs hands. And as such it was even throbbing excitedly in Ning Chengs Zifu. Just as Ning Cheng had just thought of that thought, the water coloured Origin Bead in his handspletely disappeared, and even the Origin Aura in the surrounding also rapidly dissipated, it was apparent that the Origin Bead was already put inside the Mysterious Yellow Bead in Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng then finally let out a long sigh, he knew that once this thing containing the Origin Aura was exposed outside, then it would only end up in him weing death. It appeared that this Mysterious Yellow Bead is very selective of the things that it puts inside. Ordinary things could not be stored in it, but things with an Origin Aura can definitely be thrown into it. To the present Ning Cheng, he did not know if he could enter the Mysterious Yellow Bead or not. Its not that he did not try it out, but rather he did not dare to try to try it out. Once he entered the Mysterious Yellow Bead, the Mysterious Yellow Bead would be exposed, as such the Mysterious Yellow Aura might also be exposed immediately. For him, if not for a ce being absolutely safe, he would not attempt to enter the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Let alone this. After he had obtained the Mysterious Yellow Beads approval, he did not need to enter the Mysterious Yellow Bead to cultivate, as he could speed up his cultivation using the Mysterious Yellow Aura. After the water coloured Origin Bead disappeared into him, Ning Cheng immediately felt that the mirror in his hands had be just a in old ordinary mirror, testament to the fact was that there was no more Origin Aura surrounding it. When Ning Chengs thought swept into the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he could see that the Mysterious Yellow Bead was still the same as ever, covered in a yellow mist. But in the midst of this yellow mist that seemed to cover the Heaven and Earth, there was now a hint of Water Attributed Aura. But as to the water coloured Origin Bead that entered the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he simply could not see it at all. Ning Cheng just shook his head, and decided to not care about it. This thing was something that he had identally obtained, as to what became of it inside the Mysterious Yellow Bead, he did not investigate it with his thought. He then picked up the Talisman from the ground that had wrapped up the water coloured Origin Bead, and swept it with his Spiritual Consciousness. A momentter, Ning Cheng became so excited that his hands trembled all over. He did not expect that after looking for quite a while, the Talisman that wrapped up the Origin Bead was the most precious thing of all. This thing unexpectedly turned out to be a Level 8 Blood Escaping Talisman, not to mention the Level 8 Blood Escaping Talisman in his hand, Ning Cheng had not even heard of such a thing existing. This was a Talisman that could help him preserve his life anywhere in extremely crucial times. Although with his strength, he was unable to use this Talisman at the moment, and could only refine it first, which was why he had used a drop of his blood immediately. Such a good thing, such a good thing...... Ning Cheng immediately began mumbling to himself a few times, as he immediately started to refine the Blood Escaping Talisman in his hand. These people really were too rich, ayah, but it seems that they did not know where to put their good stuff, just this Blood Escaping Talisman that he had obtained at random wrapped inside something, made him think that this was an unprecedentedly good thing. ...... At ake near a vige hundreds of miles away, a beautiful woman stopped continuing to strip off her clothes, as she stood up in shock as if she could not believe what she had sensed. She mumbled to herself, A moment ago was it really the Origin Aura? The next moment, she immediately picked up her clothes and cape that she had stripped off a moment ago, and instantly disappeared from theke. Compared to the Origin Aura, taking a bath was simply an irrelevant thing. ...... Just as Ning Chengpleted the refining of the Blood Escaping Talisman and was going to put it away, he let out a sigh in his heart, as he thought that it really was time to leave to leave this inn. If he continued to stay here, then maybe that woman would reallye to find him. Senior Apprentice Brother Xiaocheng, can Ie in? Meng Jingxius voice transmitted from outside his door. Ning Cheng was already preparing to go find Meng Jingxiu, and as such quickly replied to her, You cane in, I am already much better. Meng Jingxiu entered Ning Chengs room, then handed Ning Cheng the ring in her hand and said, Senior Apprentice Brother Xiaocheng, this is the ring from Sikong Kai. Ning Cheng received the ring from her, and swept it with his Spiritual Consciousness, he discovered that this ring had several heavy restrictions ced on it. He put away the ring, and did not immediately start refining it, looking at Meng Jingxiu he spoke, We have to leave this ce, otherwise that shameless woman might end up finding us here. En, that woman really is terrible, she doesnt even put others life in her eyes. Meng Jingxiu thought back to the time when that woman had killed that green robed woman with just a flick of her hand, even at this moment she would still felt chills from just remembering it. Ning Cheng also gave an En sound and said, Birds of a feather will always flock together, just a look at that woman and Sikong Kai can tell that they simply are up to no good. Even if she has the cultivation of Profound Congealing Realm, but that does not change the fact that she is a shameless woman. Saying till there, Ning Cheng once more added to Meng Jingxiu and said, How is the woman from the Wu Nian Academy that we rescued, does she show any signs of waking up, there are a few things that I have to ask her. Saying that Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu arrived at the other room, and saw that the purple robed woman from the Wu Nian Academy was still in aa. Meng Jingxiu had used a handkerchief in ce of the veil to cover her face, it was because this purple robed womans face was really too beautiful. Ning Cheng had no reason to be polite at this moment, as he put his hands directly in the purple robed womans chest, and infused her with his Spiritual Sense. At this time, he had to hurry up and wake this woman up, it was the matter of whether or not they could live, as to the other things that were going on in his mind, he would take care of themter. Moreover, Ning Cheng also knew that Meng Jingxiu was not a gossipy kind of a person, so once this purple robed woman woke, and they got the details of the things that happened, he knew that Meng Jingxiu would not spread it or even talk about it. When Meng Jingxiu saw the hand of Ning Cheng ced on the chest of the purple robed woman, she subconsciously bent down to look at her appearance with great attention, she immediately thought of Sikong Kais actions with the green robed woman, and immediately blushed. But at this time, the door of the room was suddenly kicked open, as a beautiful woman stood in the doorway as she looked at Meng Jingxiu in a daze. Mother. When Meng Jingxiu looked at this middle aged beautiful woman, she immediately recognized her. Her mother had left her when she was just 9 years old. But even if these many years passed by, her mothers appearance had not changed at all. You are Xiu Xiu...... The middle aged beautiful woman called out in shock, she hade here following the Origin Aura but rather than finding the Origin Aura, she had found her daughter. When she had left her daughter, she was only 9 years old. But this woman in front of her was a fully bloomed woman of 18 years of age, so when she saw Meng Jingxiu she was already a bit suspicious about it, and now that Meng Jingxiu had actively called out to her as Mother on her own initiative, she immediately recognized her. Ning Cheng had not thought that the beautiful middle aged woman that had kicked open the door would turn out to be Meng Jingxius mother. He had originally thought that searching for Meng Jingxius parents would be a very difficult matter, as such he had never thought that she would be so easily found, as they havent even reached Xi Hai City. But what Ning Cheng did not expect would happen when the mother and daughter meet, was that she did not excitedly call out to her daughter, but rather she gave an angry re as she stared at Ning Cheng and said, You despicable punk, you dare to lie to my daughter? Ning Cheng looked at this middle aged woman in bewilderment, as he spoke in his heart when did he ever deceive her daughter. When Meng Jingxiu saw her mother being so unreasonable, she quickly spoke out, Mother, no, this is Senior Apprentice Brother Xiaocheng, he has looked after me a lot along the way. Since he is taking care of you since a long time, then isnt he your man, why is he so touchy-feely with another woman? For a person to be like this, he is the most hated person for me. This middle aged beautiful woman did not even know theplete truth, but her tone became even more annoyed. Meng Jingxiu almost anxiously cried out, as she quickly tried to exin, That is not the case, there is nothing between me and Senior Apprentice Brother Xiaocheng...... Ahem, as a mother, Ive been there, the way you look at that Senior Apprentice Brother Xiaocheng of yours, with such a face that looks like youre in heat when thinking about men, do not think that I dont see it. Ning Cheng immediately began sweating profusely inside, what kind of mother is she, how could she be of such a character? She had not seen her daughter for so many years, so when she saw her daughters face, how could she say such a thing to her daughter? Meng Jingxiu simply could not stand the blow, as she immediately gave a startled cry, as she turned and escaped from the room. The beautiful middle aged woman seemed to have realised that the words she had spoken were a bit too heavy, as she patted her head and turned around and chased after her. But before she went out of the door, she stopped again, as she stared back at Ning Cheng and said, If you dare to tread on two ships, letting my daughter down, I will immediately rip off your little birdy. TL Note C The title An Old Lady does not actually speak about an olddy, but rather it is somewhat of a derogatory term for Tactless Woman. Chapter 0162 – Not Be Able To Stay Warm Chapter 0162: Not Be Able To Stay Warm Looking at this woman leaving, Ning Cheng secretly thought in his heart that this woman really was too pushy, it waspletely opposite to her outward appearance. For Meng Jingxiu to have this kind of a mother, it can also be considered as winning a lottery. Ning Cheng did not pay any further attention to the woman as she left, as he once again concentrated on carefully examining the situation of the purple robed woman. However, he was also aware that that womans cultivation was definitely higher than Sikong Kais, moreover it was not just 1 or 2 levels higher. ...... The middle aged beautiful woman soon caught up with Meng Jingxiu. Seeing her own mother chase her down, Meng Jingxiu also stopped herself from continuing to run away, but still couldnt stop herself from crying. Her mother had simply and brutally thrown her towards that person, how could she say something like that. Seeing her daughter cry but not speak, the middle aged beautiful woman finally could not bear it and spoke, Its not that I dont trust you, I was just preparing to head to the Hua Continent to bring you back here with me. But instead you came here together with that kid, moreover you also are aware of the fact as to why a man needs a woman by his side...... Making a reference till here, the beautiful middle aged woman thought of Ning Cheng and that purple robed woman, and she immediately changed the subject bitterly, Xiu Xiu you can be rest assured that Mother has warned that boy, if he dares to keep a foot in both boats, then Mother will rip off his little birdie. As Meng Jingxiu heard her mother speak like this, she began crying even more fiercely. How did she got left with such a mother, wasnt this simply too much? This middle aged woman seeing that even though she had just met her daughter, but still continued to cry, immediately started to panic. I have already said this to you before, that the only rtionship between me and Senior Apprentice Brother Xiaocheng is that of a Senior Apprentice Brother and a Junior Apprentice Sister from the same Academy, we basically have no rtion to each other. But you still went ahead and said all those things, are you really hoping that I kill myself....... Fortunately, Meng Jingxiu knew her mothers temperament, as she exined while in the midst of crying. The middle aged beautiful womans heart sank, she was confident that she had not misread her daughters expression before. However, since her daughter had said it like this, she decided to end this matter here, and said, Since that is the case. You cane with me, do you want to go and say your goodbyes to your Senior Apprentice Brother Xiaocheng? Meng Jingxiu was still crying as she spoke, Where do I even have the face to see Senior Apprentice Brother Xiaocheng, I, I......wu wu....... When the middle aged beautiful woman saw this, she immediately panicked but then gently lead her daughter onto an airship artefact that she had taken out, and left this small town almost instantaneously. ...... Although Meng Jingxius mother had chased out after her, Ning Cheng was not worried, even if Meng Jingxiu and her mother met each other in ideal conditions, she was still her mother. He was just about to continue his thorough inspection of what was wrong with the purple robed woman with his Spiritual Consciousness, when this purple robed woman suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw Ning Chengs hand on her chest, she suddenly screamed and immediately took out her flying sword to cleave Ning Cheng in two. Unfortunately, she could not use her Spiritual Consciousness, as such she had no way to operate her flying sword. Youre finally awake, thats the best...... Ning Cheng gave an awkward smile, as he hurriedly took away his hands from the purple robed womans chest. You, You...... The purple robed woman was unexpectedly short of breath, and could not even speak a full word in a single breath. It was only after a long time, that she finally spit out the words in extreme anguish, You unscrupulous, shameless bastard, beast...... Ning Chengs countenance fell, it seems that this woman is not clear of her own circumstances. In order to save her, he had almost lost his life to grab her from the mouth of death. Although he did not expect this woman to thank him, but it also did not mean that her being from a superior background made her a bitch? Whos shameless? Seeing that you still have the three points of a human appearance, so how could you speak like fart? Ning Cheng did not hesitate to throw back a sentence. He decided to not be the Mr. Nice Guy. This purple robed woman and he did not have any rtion, on the contrary, he was the one who had saved her. You, werent you a moment ago shamelessly touching my....... Although she spoke the following words, the purple robed woman really could not finish them. Moreover, she waspletely unaware that the way she spoke till halfway was really misleading. Ning Cheng immediately cut in, Touch you? Arent you that easy to touch? Moreover, wasnt it your chest that was touching my hand. Saying these words, even Ning Cheng felt that it was somewhat shameless. However, this woman speaking in such a way to her benefactor, really made him feel a bit unhappy. You...... Theplexion of the purple robed woman immediately flushed. As the blood flow in her body also elerated. Ning Cheng knew that he could not continue like this, the woman was already indiscriminately white. Only a self-righteous person would be like this, if it was an ordinary person, they would have first enquired why were they here. Since you are finally awake, I have a few questions to ask you....... Ning Cheng had not yet asked about Yue Ying and the others, when the broken door of the room was once again kicked open. A Daoist Priestess with a face full of anger rushed in, this Daoist Priestess waspletely surrounded with murderous intent, moreover she looked like she was going to bite the first person sheid her hands on. Master, save me...... When the purple robed woman saw this Daoist Priestess, she immediately called out in a crying voice. Ning Cheng quickly tried to exin, Senior.... But he had only managed to speak one word, when the Fochen in the hand of this Daoist Priestess immediately whisked out towards Ning Cheng. It was obvious that she did not use her full force, but even still she immediately went towards Ning Chengs Dantian. Ning Chengs heart sank, he did not think that this Daoist Priestess would not only want to kill him, but this person also wanted to destroy his Dantian fist, then slowly torture him. It seems that these people, because their cultivation was a bit higher than his own, simply did not want to listen to any reason at all. Waiting till his Dantian was ruined, would his exnation then even have the weight of a fart? Even if this Daoist Priestess realized that he was innocentter, at most she would only give some sympathies, but would never help him recover his Dantian. Moreover, it was even questionable that this Daoist Priestess would even help him restore his Dantian. Ning Chengpletely understood these kinds of people. Ning Cheng immediately took out his spear, and in just a moment cast out this 36 Profound Ice Spear Technique, while simultaneously moving his body backwards. The 30 Profound Ice Spear Shadows had not yet finished forming before they were immediately dispersed by the Fochen of the Daoist Priestess that she had used to strike, while the broken spear in his hands was also directly sent away flying. The Fochen was only dyed for half a moment, but it was enough to change its direction slightly before it directly exploded onto Ning Chengs chest instead of his Dantian area. Ning Cheng immediately spouted a gush of blood from his mouth, as he flew out of the room smashing through the roof. The roof was not something that he had broken open by his own force, rather it was because of the powerful force from the Daoist Priestess Fochen. Ning Cheng immediately felt his own internal organs starting to break down, moreover even his body felt that it was not something that belonged to him. Ning Cheng knew that since his previous injuries had not yet fully healed, so the injuries he received now had dealt an even heavier damage. This Daoist Priestess cultivation was definitely much higher that the cultivation of Meng Jingxius mother, as such he did not dare to stay back to continue to give an exnation to this Daoist Priestess, and without any hesitation immediately took out the Level 8 Blood Escape Talisman. At this time his entire body was already covered in blood, as such this Escape Talisman did not need to be infused with his blood, and just at the moment that he had taken it out, it was immediatelypletely activated. A red light shed, and the next moment Ning Cheng disappeared without a trace. Yi! a cheap bastard like you even has such an Advance Level Escape Talisman, Damn You!! This Daoist Priestess found that Ning Cheng hadpletely disappeared, as she somewhat unwillingly returned to the room. ...... Wrapped up by the Blood Escape Talisman, Ning Cheng discovered that he himself was without any consciousness. Moreover, he could not even release the slightest bit of his Spiritual Consciousness, it made his entire being to fall into a state of chaos. He simply did not know for how long he had been in such a state, when Ning Cheng was thrown out from within with an enormous force. With a Plop sound he immediately fell onto the edges of an ancient looking road. Ning Cheng sat up with difficulty, while feeling a bit sad in his heart. This was because he could feel that this was the fate of someone without any real strength. Even if his reasoning made perfect sense, the other party would definitely be unreasonable. Those high-flying and lofty cultivators would definitely not give him the opportunity to even exin himself. If he had not obtained a Blood Escaping Talisman, then he would have already died. This made Ning Cheng remember the story of the farmer and the viper. At present he was the sad farmer, it was really lucky that he had just seeded in binding the Blood Escaping Talisman, otherwise he would have definitely not be able to stay warm. Ning Cheng sat there for a full half an hour, before standing up unsteadily, as for his injuries, they only got worse. This made him increasingly want to learn Alchemy, and more so want to increase his own Cultivation. In his storage rings, there were heaps of spiritual grasses, but at the moment he could not refine them into pills. There was also a heap of Spirit Stones, but at the moment he did not have any means to use it for his own cultivation. Ning Cheng inspected the degree of his injuries, and found that his five organs were heavily damaged, but he was able to avoid injury to his Dantian. That Daoist Priestess wanted to break his Dantian first, before gradually cooking him. Otherwise, even if he had another Blood Escaping Talisman, it would simply be of no use for him. Carefully taking out the Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence, he drank a mouthful of it, the Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence was extremely beneficial to restore ones meridians, currently Ning Cheng did not have any healing medicines, as such he could only use this kind of precious thing to heal his five injured internal organs. After he drank a mouthful of the Amethyst Heaven Coloured ze Essence, the burning feeling in his internal organs gradually dissipated, although he was still unable to gather his True Essence, Ning Cheng knew that his injuries had slowly began to recover again. Moreover, the Mysterious Yellow Origin inside him was something that could even reverse the heavens, it seems that as long as he did not die, then if he was given a certain amount of time, he could easily restore and heal himself from any kind of injury. As Ning Cheng stood on this ancient road with a battered body, he kept thinking about Luofei. The face of that purple robed woman had stunned him senseless, if he said that such a beautiful woman had not moved his heart, then he would only be lying to himself. However, after experiencing this kind of incident, he knew that only Luofei would unconditionally believe in him, only Luofei would sit down and give him the chance to exin himself. Even if Luofei saw him do other things, she would certainly wait for him to slowly exin it to her. I must hurry back to the Hua Continent. Ning Cheng clenched his fist tight as he thought to himself. Sounds of a beast carriage with heavy wheels and axle came from a distance. As Ning Cheng was standing by the roadside, this carriage soon arrived in his sights, before stopping by the side of Ning Cheng a momentter. The coachman looked about 50 years in age, and had a very dark skin due to constantly being basked in the sunlight. One could make out that this coachman travelled outside year round. This little brother, do you need any help? This old man saw Ning Cheng standing on the roadside covered in blood and carefully asked a question. Ning Cheng saw the worried expression in the old mans eyes, as he quickly replied, Thank you for the concern uncle. I was apanying a merchant caravan along its way when we were attacked by roadside robbers. Although I managed to escape, but I was injured, and now I even lost my way, I do not know if uncle knows about Chang Mo City or the Xi Hai City? Hearing that Ning Cheng say that he was apanying a merchant caravan and that he had met roadside robbers on his way, the old coachmans eyes finally rxed a little. He was not sure if Ning Cheng was a cultivator or not, as a cultivator would definitely not obey the orders of the normal people from the merchant caravan. Chang Mo City is very far away from this ce, moreover even Xi Hai City is also very far from here. Me and my child are going to the Tai Wan Sea Town with our Clear Light Stones. There you can find many merchants ships at sea, we are going there to sell our Clear Light Stones to those merchants. If little brother wants to go to the Tai Wan Sea Town, then you cane with us. The old man spoke very enthusiastically. After this, a ck skinned, twenty-year-old looking young man jumped out from the inside of the carriage, but looked very shy. Ning Cheng quickly cupped his fists and said, My name is Ning Xiaocheng, Ive heard of the Tai Wan Sea Town that you speak of. Before when my merchant caravan was scattered, we were also heading towards the Tai Wan Sea Town. After speaking till here Ning Cheng then happened to look at the inside of the carriage, and found that it really was filled with a lot of Clear Light Stones. Clear Light Stones cannot be regarded as any useful material, as it could only emit light. These Clear Light Stones were evidently dug out by this pair of father and son, and were ready to be sent to the Tai Wan Sea Town to be sold to the merchant caravans. Chapter 0163 – Joining a merchant caravan Chapter 0163: Joining a merchant caravan After the mutual introductions, Ning Cheng came to know that the old man was called Tao Xiumao, and the young man was called Tao Yuan. Both the father and son were very enthusiastic as they not only shared their medicinal salve with Ning Cheng, but they even invited Ning Cheng to sit in the best spot inside their beast carriage. After Ning Cheng boarded the carriage, Tao Yuan reced the old man as the coachman of the carriage. Inside the beast carriage, Ning Cheng immediately started to concentrate on healing his injuries. The Tao father and son were onlymon people who did not cultivate, as such they were simply not aware of the Spiritual Qi fluctuations in the surroundings. Since Ning Cheng had closed his eyes to rest up, Tao Xiumao got the message that Ning Cheng was not in the condition to speak. After two hours, Ning Cheng felt that his injuries had eased up a lot, and was even starting to slowly improve, which immediately calmed his heart down. With his injuries improving, Ning Cheng also opened his eyes and politely asked, Uncle Tao, I heard people say that there are a few battalions of the cultivator army stationed in the Yi Xing Ocean, those cultivator army battalions would also be going about recruiting soldiers, isnt that so? Tao Xiumao nodded and replied, Thats right, the biggest soldier recruitment station near us is the Xi Hai City. Tai Wan Sea Town also have a few cultivator soldiers stationed there, moreover our Clear Light Stones are actually to help the cultivator army. Although we sell these Clear Light Stones to the merchants, but these merchant then send these things inside to the cultivator army. Ning Cheng realized that since thebat operations of the cultivator army stationed in the Yi Xing Ocean went all year round, as such they would also require a variety of Lighting Array Formations, as such they were very much in need of the Clear Light Stones. When Tao Xiumao saw Ning Cheng speak, he suddenly thought of something but hesitated for a moment before he finally decided to speak, If you do not have any good ce to go to, you can join us in digging out the Clear Light Stones. We make a few trips every year, and in every trip we earn about one to two hundred gold coins. Although there are a few dangers, but at most it would only be a few highway robbers along the roads. Thank you, Uncle Tao, but I still want to join the merchant caravan, I will be travelling with you till we reach the Tai Wan Sea Town. If I cannot find any opportunity to join a merchant caravan that is going towards the sea, then in that case, I might as well help you earn a bit more. After hearing Ning Chengs words, Tao Xiumao gave a dark sigh in his heart, and did not try to persuade him any further. He knew that the dangers that a merchant caravan faced, were actually countless times much higher that the trafficking of the Clear Light Stones that they were doing. Moreover, Ning Cheng was not even someone he knew, he was just a bystander, as such he would not be able to persuade him anyways. The beast carriage was not very fast, but at the same time it was also not slow. This Tao father and son took turns taking the position of the coachman of the beast carriage, and ate only normal dried rations along the road. Four dayster, the beast carriage entered a bustling and noisy town. Outside the town there were lot of people with various dressed up appearances. Most of these people were fatigued and were giving off a travel worn aura. Some of the people were dressed up rtively sturdy, while there were also a few normal cultivators mixed in. The Tao father and son, driving the beast carriage, pulled into a ce that was not filled with too many people. The smell of the sea breeze was in the air, Ning Cheng knew that he should be close to the Yi Xing Ocean. Although his injuries were recovering slowly, but at present he only had about 10% of his previous True Condensation strength. So seeing that the cultivation of the cultivators present here was very low, he did not have to worry too much about it. Brother Xiaocheng, this is the Tai Wan Sea Town. Me and my father are going to sell off these Clear Light Stones, if you are still looking for a merchant caravan, then you cane together with us. There is a Guild here for the merchant caravans, and the merchant caravans collect and exchange all sorts of things there. Moreover, these merchant caravans often have to recruit some manpower to help them out. Although Tao Yuans manner was a bit simple hearted, but after bing a bit familiar with Ning Cheng, he immediately became very warm. Then many thanks Brother Tao. Ning Cheng quickly thanked the two of them, while simultaneously taking out 10 gold coins and handing them to Tao Xiumao. Although he was not reluctant to bring out more gold, but at the moment he was disguising himself as an ordinary person, and he even had to hide his cultivation, moreover he also had to go and find a rich person of a merchant caravan. Once he came up with more gold, it would make other people cast a shadow of doubt in his direction. Tao Xiumao did not want to really take the gold coins from Ning Cheng. He simply handed them back, and said that his beast carriage was only pulling the goods, and just incidentally took Ning Cheng to the Tai Wan Sea Town. If he wanted to collect coins for this, then it would really be insincere of him. Ning Cheng could only put away the gold coins, as he followed the Tao father and son to visit the Guild of the merchant caravans. The beast carriage did not take long, before it stopped before a tall tower like gate. Tao Xiumao then took out a wooden que, as he respectfully gave it to the guard beside the gate. The guard looked at the wooden que, before returning the it to Tai Xiumao, and then waved his hands at Tai Xiumao to signal him to go in. Tai Xiumao then daringly took his beast carriage through the tall gates, as Ning Cheng also entered through the tall gates following the beast carriage. After entering through the gate, Tao Xiumao directly pointed to the front, towards a row of tall magnificent buildings in front of Ning Cheng and said, Little Brother Ning, that is the ce where thergest merchant caravans in the Tai Wan Sea Town are stationed. If you are looking for a merchant caravan to join, you can try your luck there. At the moment I have to take my boy to deliver the Clear Light Stones. Ning Cheng had already seen the big sign in the front, that had a few words Tai Wan Business Chamber written on it. Seeing that, he hastily thanked the Tao father and son again, as he left them and entered the Tai Wan Business Chamber. ...... The Tai Wan Business Chamber was not just a single entity, but rather it was the collection of all the Business Chambers in the Tai Wan Sea Town. After entering here, Ning Cheng even had a certain feeling that he had entered one of the Business Chambers back on Earth. There were all kinds of names of the merchant caravans disyed, moreover there were stations of all the merchant caravans here, as such the signs simply were innumerable. In front of some of the stalls of the merchant caravans, there were a few titbits of information disyed, showing some of their profile and also announcements of recruitment of staff personal. Ning Cheng looked around, but found that there was no merchant caravan that was going to the Hua Continent, almost all of them were going to a ce called Pu Bu Ind. Ning Cheng called out to a man who was also watching the announcements, as he cupped his fists and politely asked, Friend, I want to join arge merchant caravan, but howe none of the merchant caravans here are not even going to the Hua Continent? You want to go to the Hua Continent? The man stared at Ning Cheng in shock. Ning Cheng quickly spoke, No, I just want to join arge merchant caravan, but I do not know about any of such merchant caravans. I heard that in the Yi Xing Ocean, there were somerge merchant caravans that can even go across continents. So I thought that a merchant caravan that is able to cross continents would certainly be arge one. When the man listened to the exnation provided by Ning Cheng, heughed and said, Most of the merchant caravans here in the Tai Wan Sea Town will only go to the Pu Bu Ind, only from the Pu Bu Ind and the Xi Hai City will you be able to find a merchant caravan that would go to the Hua Continent. You should have just arrived at Tai Wan Sea Town, right? Right right, Im a neer here, but I am somewhat confident in my strength, originally I wanted to go to the Xi Hai City to join the cultivator army, but I did not think that the Xi Hai City would be so far, as such I came to Tai Wan Sea Town instead. Ning Cheng hastily replied. You are a cultivator? When this man heard that Ning Cheng was a cultivator, his expression immediately turned respectful. Ning Cheng once more spoke, I cannot be regarded as a cultivator as yet, as my cultivation level is very low, and is only in the Qi Gathering Realm. Hearing that Ning Cheng say that he was a Qi Gathering Cultivator, and also speaking so kindly to him, he estimated that he was only at Qi Gathering 1st or 2nd Level. This man secretly sighed to himself, as he spoke, Even if you were an Early Stage Qi Gathering Cultivator, you can still join the cultivator army. In fact, if you are looking for recruitment into the cultivator army, then in addition to the Xi Hai Town, the Pu Bu Ind also recruits people. As such, many of the Qi Gathering Cultivators join a merchant caravan to go to the Pu Bu Ind, and then join the cultivator army there. That is the best news for me, I have to try my luck at Pu Bu Ind, if it doesnt work out, then I would simply go and join a merchant caravan. Ning Cheng spoke with a happy expression. But in his heart he was very disappointed, if there was a direct merchant caravan to the Hua Continent, it would have been the best for him, but s. Thanking this man, Ning Cheng casually selected a merchant caravan called the Flying Sea Merchant Caravan and went inside. He had chosen this Flying Sea Merchant Caravan because he could see on the notice outside that this merchant caravan was going to leave tomorrow, from the Tai Wan Sea Town to the Pu Bu Ind. Since he could not find a merchant caravan to go directly to the Hua Continent, so he could go out and casually look for anyone, it would not have made any difference. The station of the Flying Sea Merchant Caravan was not very big, and there was only a woman sitting inside. This woman looked like she was in her twenties, but she had a body that was sturdy and was giving off a faint seafood like smell, it gave the people who came close to her a feeling that she travelled the sea all year long. Although she was sitting on a wooden chair, she appeared to be in a daze. When Ning Cheng came in, it looked like she was not aware of it. Either it was that she was not aware of it, or simply did not care about it, but it looked like she was thinking about her own affairs. Although this woman was not very beautiful, she was also not an ugly woman either. But what made Ning Cheng surprised was that she turned out to have the cultivation of True Condensation 9th Level. Ning Cheng had originally thought that since it was a merchant caravan, as such it would mostly havemon people in it. Yet, just as he entered the first merchant caravan station, he saw a cultivator with the cultivation of True Condensation 9th Level. Excuse me...... Ning Cheng had just spoke two words, when this True Condensation 9th Level woman turned her head towards him and spoke in a cold voice, What do you want? I heard that the Flying Sea Merchant Caravan is short of hands, Im here to apply for...... Ning Cheng had still not finished what he was going to say, when he was once again interrupted. But this time Ning Cheng was not interrupted by the True Condensation 9th Level woman, but rather a middle aged man. This middle aged man hurriedly came in running, as he bowed his head towards the woman and spoke, Goddess Zhuang, the ship has arrived. Hearing the words the ship has arrived, the woman immediately stood up and said, Now that the ship has already arrived, then we will start tonight. Yes, Yes.... Although this middle aged man was saying the words Yes multiple times, but his face was already somewhat awkward. The woman surnamed Zhuang spoke in a light voice, I know that you want to recruit a few people, but at this current time it is already toote. There is this person who came to apply for a position in the crew, lets bring him in immediately. If there are any losses caused by the insufficiency of manpower, I, Zhuang Ya, will bear it myself. Does not dare, does not dare...... The middle aged man quickly bowed, as he let this woman named Zhuang Ya out. Once this woman walked away, the middle aged man wiped the sweat of his brow, as he began to observe Ning Cheng, and asked after a short whileter, Do you want to join the Flying Sea Merchant Caravan to go out into the sea? What is your name? I am called Ning Xiaocheng, I heard that the Flying Sea was recruiting crew members, so I hurried over here. Ning Cheng immediately answered. The middle aged man nodded and asked, How is your strength? Ning Cheng quickly made a flexing motion with his arms, I definitely am a muscle man, in my vige, many girls like me for my great strength and endurance. The middle aged man thought that Ning Cheng was joking but still smiled and said, All right, then it is you. My name is Shen You, but you can call me Deacon Shen. You are a temporary crew of the Flying Sea Merchant Caravan, and the reward is a thousand gold coins, 10% of the rewards will be deducted as remuneration of the trip, 30% will be paid to you on reaching Pu Bu Ind, and the remaining will be paid after we return back to the Tai Wan Sea Town. It suits me. Ning Cheng replied without hesitation, he had not imagined that he would easily find a merchant caravan to the Pu Bu Ind. Because he would not be returning, he knew that he would not receive all of the thousand gold reward, but this fact Ning Chengpletely ignored it. Chapter 0164 – Ghosts Inside Chapter 0164: Ghosts Inside Ning Cheng was not a meddlesome person, but he knew that this Zhuang Ya was not as simple as she looked. But at the moment he did not have the right to ask about her. His goal at the moment was to arrive at the Pu Bu Ind. As to the others, they had nothing to do with him. He followed Shen You and sat together with him in a beast carriage as they went towards the wharf near the Yi Xing Ocean. Although Ning Cheng had been in the waters of the Mingot sea, but he had never gone to a big dock before. Now that he saw the Yi Xing Oceans piers at the Tai Wan Sea Town, he suddenly understood the meaning of the words, running to the wharf. The pier was too big, with all kinds of ships and boats densely packed and docked at the edges of the pier, along with many people hustling to and fro from them. There were also some cultivators wearing military uniform, patrolling near the edges of the pier. Compared to the scattered forces in the Mingot City, Ning Cheng thought that the Tai Wan Sea Town was much more stable. Xing You brought Ning Cheng right next to arge ship as he spoke, This is our Flying Sea Ship, you see that bunch of people moving stuff on the ship, right? Your job is to go and help them, after that pile of stuff are put away, we will set sail. [TL Note C The author arbitrarily decided to change the name Shen You to Xing You, please dont get confused. I kept it as it was in the raws.] Then where would I live? Ning Cheng hurriedly asked. Xing You pointed towards the group of people moving the goods into the ship and said, Youll be staying together with them. Youll also move things together with them, and also be sleeping together with them. There is arge cabin aboard the ship for you all. Ning Cheng quickly said, Deacon Xing, I am the kind of person who like cleanliness, as such I am not greatly interested in living together with a lot of people in the same room, even if it is big. Can you help me get a separate room? Even if it is a small one it doesnt matter. Just as Ning Cheng finished speaking his words, he saw Xing You frown, immediately he understood that his request might not be fulfilled easily, and quickly spoke up, Deacon Xing, I do not want the 10% advance of the gold coins from my pay, also after reaching the Pu Bu Ind you can take out half my pay. I would really be in your debt if you could just help me get a referral to work on board of a ship...... Ning Cheng was just a goods-handling crew member, but actually wanted a separate room for himself. As such Xing You was originally ufortable with such a request. But when he heard Ning Chengs words, he finally gave a slight nod, thinking that at least Ning Cheng can still maintain such a behaviour in front of him. Because of this his original impression of Ning Cheng was pretty good, since Ning Cheng had spoken like that, he also directly spoke up, There is a cabin at the back end of the stern, but it is very windy, although the wind can be blocked when we are still, but when the ship is moving about in the sea, you will not be able to block the wind nor the sound. If you do not mind it being too loud there, and also can adapt to the wind then you can stay in that cabin. Ning Cheng quickly replied, Thank you Deacon Xing. I am willing to take it. Deacon Xing patted Ning Chengs shoulder and said, When one is going out into the sea, earning gold coins will not be easy, although you asked me to deduct your introductory fees, I wont keep it from you. Moreover, if you are able to save enough gold, then you can safely and securely settle down in one of Jia Continents cities. Seeing Deacon Xing leave, Ning Cheng sighed in his heart. Even in such a dangerous and sinister ce, there were still good people around. Ning Cheng immediately began helping the numerous crew members to load up the goods, although he was carrying multiple goods in each hand, they were not heavy for him at all. ncing at them with his Spiritual Consciousness, he found that some of them were food rations while the others were crafting materials. Although the grade of these crafting materials were not high, he could tell that these crafting materials were for crafting Low Level Artefacts. No one felt that Ning Cheng joining the crew was strange, as there would always be people who would join and there would always be people who would leave. As the piles of goods were finished being moved inside, Ning Cheng once again saw that Zhuang Ya, only this time she was not alone, but was together in a group of five people. Ning Cheng swept a nce towards them, and found that all five people were at True Condensation 9th Level. After the five people came on board, they immediately entered the VIP cabins inside. Just as the five people came on board, Xing You stood on the bow and shouted out, Everybody quickly get on board, the Flying Sea will immediately set sail. At this time the piles of goods stacked on the docks were finished being loaded onto the ship, as such Ning Cheng followed the rest of the people without wasting any time and boarded the ship. Ning Cheng had some doubts in his heart, as to what his work actually was after being drafted into the crew. It shouldnt only be moving these things inside, then wait to arrive at Pu Bu Ind, and move the things out of the ship, right? Since it was Xing Yous idea, he especially brought Ning Cheng to the windy aft cabin, as he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ning Cheng while saying, You will live here from now on. The people on the Flying Sea have a five-day rowing cycle. You just have to remember your rotation days. Every five days, you will have to go rowing for a full day, all the instructions are written very clearly in here. Do you still row a ship? Although Ning Cheng knew that 1000 gold coins was not something easy to make for a normal person, but he had not thought that he would have to row a boat. Xing You looked at Ning Cheng in surprise and said, Of course you have to row a ship, otherwise did you think that 1000 gold coins was something easy to make? But you do not have to worry about it too much, there has been a downwind for months which helps in our sailing, as such the sails can fully expand, so rowing would not need much effort. When have I ever rowed a boat before? Ning Cheng spoke out with a bitter face. Xing Youughed and said, Although this is not the kind of boat you want, but there arent a lot of people here who sail a propeller driven ship. At the moment the Flying Sea Merchant Caravan does not have the strength or power toy down an Array Formation that uses Spirit Stones to drive the propeller, as such movement and speed can only be achieved for us through human power. When Ning Cheng heard it, he atst came to understand his point, as he spoke, I understand. Xing You nodded, You can have your food in the pantry. Youll be the first to live in this windy cabin for a long time, if you are really not able to adapt to it, then you cane find me, or you can directly move into thergemon cabin inside. Thank you Deacon Xing, I get it. Ning Cheng quickly thanked him again. After Xing You left, Ning Cheng was atst free to check out the windy cabin. On this ship there were quite a few of such windy cabins, this type of cabins had two purposes, one was for a morepact structure of the ship and the other was to reduce wind resistance. The cabin that Xing You gave to Ning Cheng was equal to opening a small back door for him. The air in the cabin was generally not blocked, but since now Ning Cheng was going to live in here, it had to be blocked. Although he could adjust to the wind, but one would not be able to sleep directly in such a winds and sounds, right? Moreover, this windy room was in the shape of an oblique triangle, and only had an area of about 5 square meters, but for Ning Cheng, it was already sufficient. At the moment the wind in the cabin was blocked, evidently he was not the first person to live here. The ship had only just started, but the rushing sounds of the wind from outside the ship was already very loud, as such one could imagine that when the ship finally sped through the deep seas, wouldnt the sounds of the winds inside the cabin became even louder? But this point was something that did not affect Ning Chengs state of not mind, as he started to arrange an Array Formation. At first he arranged a Soundproof Array Formation, so after he finished arranging the Soundproof Array Formation, the sounds of the winds from outside the shippletely disappeared. After that Ning Cheng started toy down an Istion Array Formation, he remembered that this ship had five True Condensation Cultivators, if he wanted to cultivate here, then it was necessary for him toy down an Istion Array Formation. As for a Spiritual Gathering Array, he did not arrange it, once he arranged the Spiritual Gathering Array, the signs of it would be very revealing. In addition to the Istion Array Formation outside, Ning Cheng also arranged an Early Warning Array Formation outside of the windy cabin. Although Ning Cheng was certain that no one would find him out here, he still felt that he had to be careful. Even if all the people aboard the ship were added together, he wouldnt care much about them, but this ce he was in was definitely not a simple ce. Since this ce was still within the range of the cultivator army stationed in the Yi Xing Ocean. Once they found out that there was an Essence Building Cultivator hidden in an ordinary merchant ship, he would immediately be investigated. Since that cultivator surnamed Kong was a cultivator from the Jia Continent, his status would definitely not be low, even if that was not the case, if he was really investigated, then during these few months, he would have to pass the time nervously, wouldnt it be equivalent to wasting such precious time? After arranging the ce ording to his standards, Ning Cheng for the first time after a long time took out a bunch of Spirit Stones, as he started to heal himself while cultivating. With so many Spirit Stones, moreover High Grade Spirit Stones, when Ning Cheng started to cultivate, soon the entire windy cabin was filled with the Spiritual Mist from the Spirit Stones. Ning Chengs injuries also rapidly recovered and with the help of the Spiritual Qi and the Mysterious Yellow Origin, his cultivation also started to rise quickly. As five days shed past, Ning Chengs injury had recovered by more than half, moreover his cultivation was also rising steadily. He knew that today was the day that he was assigned to him for rowing, so putting away the Array gs inside the windy cabin along with the Spirit Stones, he finally came out of the windy cabin. Arriving at the ce that he had to row the ship from, Ning Cheng knew that it would only be monotonous, but he soon found out that it was morefortable than moving things. As long as he sat in a fixed position, he would only have to shake the handle at certain intervals of time. When he looked at it, he found that he was not the only person to row, but rather all the people there were doing the same actions. This action for an average person, was the most boring and difficult to bear. But to Ning Cheng it really was nothing, as he began to use this time to heal himself while rowing. ...... As time flew by, soon Ning Cheng found that he had been on the ship for almost 2 weeks, moreover during this half a month of time, in addition to cultivating or rather except from cultivating, his injuries were fully recovered. Moreover, his cultivation also reached the peak of Essence Building 1st Level, because Ning Cheng had an innumerable quantities of Spirit Stones, as a result Ning Chengs progress was really too fast. In another two weeks, Ning Cheng finally broke through the barrier of the Essence Building 1st Level, and advanced to Essence Building 2nd Level. As his strength once more soared again, he decided to temporarily stop cultivating, and start to study Alchemy. Moreover, he had 3 Pill Furnaces, one of them he received from the bet he won from Gui Yutang, other than that, two of them were obtained from the ring that contained the Soul Essence. Although there were many traces of rusts and spots on the Pill Furnace that he obtained from the bet with Gui Yutang, Ning Cheng still was not exactly sure as to what its rank was. In the end, he even wondered if this really was a Pill Furnace. Withoutpletely refining the Pill Furnace, he would not be able to find out. But the two Pill Furnaces that he obtained from the ring really made Ning Cheng happy, one of them was a Middle Grade Spiritual Artefact. Although Ning Cheng did not know how high was the cultivation of that Soul Essence, but a Middle Grade Spiritual Pill Furnace ced inside the ring, for him, there could not be anything better. As for the other Pill Furnace, it turned out to be a Best Quality True Artefact, but Ning Cheng was temporarily unable to refine the True Artefact Pill Furnace. [TL Note C Weapon/Artefact/Pill Furnace Rankings in this novel till now C Mercenary (non-cultivators) > Ordinary > Spiritual > True...... Each one of Ranks are further subdivided into Low, Medium, High and Top Quality.] But what made Ning Cheng a bit disappointed, was that there were no materials in there to study Alchemy from. Over the past five days, he could not even refine a single Level 1 Ordinary Pill, not to mention True Level Pills or Profound Level Pills. The foundations of Alchemy that he had received from the old woman, he had already gone through it many times. It even contained several details on how to refine the materials. But even though Ning Cheng was sure that he hadpletely mastered the theoretical knowledge, but when it came down to actual practical refining of pill, he could not even touch upon the door. After wasting countless Spiritual Grasses, he still could not refine even a single unfinished Level 1 Ordinary Pill. This day was one of the days that was assigned to Ning Cheng to row, just as Ning Cheng put away the things and came out of his windy cabin, he immediately felt the hull tremble, before the ship started to violently shake, and then it began to tilt. Ning Cheng immediately swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness, he was now experienced in handling the matters of the ship for almost a month, he knew that the ship was sailing in a rtively safe stretch of sea. As such this kind of situation was something that happened for the first time in more than a month that they had set sail. Ning Cheng soon discovered what was the problem, it turned out there were a few ghosts inside this ce. Before when the five True Condensation Cultivators got on-board, there were three more that had got on but hidden themselves under the hull inside the water. This violent shaking of the ship, that was almost enough to capsize the ship was also done by these three True Condensation Cultivators. Chapter 0165 – Ning Cheng’s Killing Intent Chapter 0165: Ning Chengs Killing Intent Everyone please do not be nervous, some of our seniors have went into the sea to arrange an Array Formation, the ship will soon be brought under control...... The person who brought Ning Cheng on board before, Deacon Xing, quickly made his way to the bow and shouted. Deacon Xing was known to all the crew members, and also held a bit of prestige among them, so when they heard him shout, the crew of the ship soon calmed down. And tightly held onto the ships rails, trying to stabilize their bodies. Ning Cheng then saw that woman called Zhuang Ya along with another True Condensation Cultivator appear on the bow, as they then constantly threw out all kinds of Array gs with both of their hands. Sure enough, as the two of them continuously threw out Array gs, the turmoil caused by the shaking of the ship gradually calmed down, before finally stopping. There were only a few extremely light tremors. As Ning Cheng watched those Array gs being thrown out, he remained silent, while inwardly shook his head, how was this in any way arranging an Array Formation, this was simply throwing things at random. Just after the two people threw out the Array gs, the three True Condensation Cultivators under the sea who were continuously shaking the ship a moment before finally stopped, as they climbed out of the sea and onto the ship. With regards to the still slightly rocking of the ship, it was because of an Array Disc ced by them under the bottom of the ship. The ship was only filled with food and low levelled crafting materials, Ning Cheng simply could not figure out why these cultivators were going to such lengths and y such petty tricks? Not to mention that this ship was not even worth robbing, even if they wanted to rob this ship, they would not have to do such unnecessary things. The five of them were True Condensation Cultivators, any one of them could casually hijack this ship without any effort. At this point the Deacon and the several other people responsible for the ship finally came to the fore, as they looked at the three True Condensation Cultivators who also hade up the fore from the sea, but at this moment there faces looked a little pale. The people on the ship thought that since they had arranged the Array Formation, it resulted in an excessive consumption of their energy, as such the Deacon and the other people responsible for the ship stepped forward to thank them. One of the True Condensation 9th Level cultivator with long hair waved his hand. His facial expression was somewhat dignified, as he spoke, This is what we were supposed to do anyway. But at the moment there is a huge tidal whirlpool below us, although we have arranged an Array Formation but it would only temporarily control the boat. It cannot persist for a long time. Once thatrge tidal whirlpool below us breaks through our Array Formation, then it would be too dangerous...... Then what do we do? The Deacon Xing was somewhat panicky, although he had never encountered a tidal whirlpool before, but he had heard that once one met a tidal whirlpool, then capsizing of the ship was simply a regr thing. After hearing this, that long haired man frowned and did not answer for a long time. The small fat man with the same cultivation level of True Condensation 9th Level spoke with some hesitation, This Array Formation will onlyst for 24 hours at least. As long as we can get our hands on some crafting materials for Array gs within these 24 hours, we can then reinforce the Array Formation, and can easily get through this tidal whirlpool. The woman called Zhuang Ya also added, while frowning We are in the middle of an ocean, where can we even find materials for crafting Array gs? I know, there is a small ind nearby to us, but I do not know if there are any crafting materials for Elder Brother Pang to use for crafting the Array gs. The speaker was one of the other True Condensation Cultivator that hade aboard with Zhuang Ya. Yes, Yes,e to think of it there is definitely an ind nearby, but.... The Deacon also knew about the nearby ind, but then seem to have remembered some frightening things, as such his face immediately changed. Xing You then spoke with a face full of grief, Several venerable elders. I also know of that ind, before we also used to visit that ind with our ship. But a year ago, the ind was suddenly surrounded by ayer of fog. Any merchant caravans passing through the ind or even near to the ind, had sent up their men to investigate...... Speaking till here Xing Yu hesitated, but then once again continued, Of all the people who went there, none of them ever came back again. The long haired True Condensation Cultivator waved his hand a bit and spoke, You can rest assured that there would only be a few low levelled monstrous beasts there on that ind, with us five together, even if there was a more powerful sea beast, it would not be anything unusual for us. To settle this affair, Deacon Xing, you just lend us fifty of your people who would apany us to the ind to look for materials to craft the Array gs. At the moment our time is running out, if you do not try and help us, then the fate that awaits all of us is for the ship to capsize and be killed in the end. The other True Condensation Cultivators also nodded and echoed in, Well, by the looks of it, it would still take us two hours to go ande, however it should not be toote. Since Xing You was the person in charge of the ship, the several of his other high ranking subordinates began to discuss this amongst themselves, and after a whileter, they all reluctantly agreed, Then as to the selection of the fifty crew members, we ask venerable elders ...... The fat True Condensation Cultivator impatiently spoke up, Do not worry, we five people would personally be going to the ind with you all, how could we have any idents? When Ning Cheng heard about the selection of candidates, he immediately drew back, he could guess that there was definitely something on the ind which made these True Condensation Cultivators to think of this kind of approach. As for the selection people to go onto the ind, maybe it was just for some hardbour or maybe something else. He had juste out of the Angry Axe Valley, so a few True Condensation Cultivators were not something for him to be too concerned about, although it was not because he really did not look down upon them, but it was because he himself did not want to go, even more so he did not want to do hardbour. Youll be one of them...... But Ning Cheng did not expect that just as he took a few steps back, he would be immediately be seen by that fat True Condensation Cultivator, moreover he would even directly point out to Ning Cheng and speak such words. Ning Cheng reluctantly had toe out and stand apart. The fifty people were soon selected, adding the five True Condensation Cultivators, there were a total of 55 people riding atop a not sorge boat, as they left the ship. A few of the True Condensation Cultivators put on a few airs as they threw out some more Array gs once they came off the ship. Looking at this Ning Cheng became speechless, he simply did not bother with it and simply closed his eyes and sat in meditation. ...... The ind was really not far away, and the boat just took less than 2 hours to reach there. Having already reached the edge of the ind, Ning Cheng swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness. He actually felt a bit strange, as if his vitality was being absorbed, moreover the fog was emanating from the centre of the ind, it was a ce where his Spiritual Consciousness could not prate inside. The boat stopped at the edge of the ind, but the scene they saw at the edge of ind, made all the crew members on the boat have a scalp tingling sensation. The edge of this ind was filled with all kinds of bones, it was simply a dense cluster of white, many of these bones were washed up on the ind, forming piles after piles of bones. As Ning Chengs eyes swept past them, he could see that in addition to a few bones from lower levelled sea beasts and fishes, most of it wasprised of human bones. The five True Condensation Cultivators had already stepped onto the ind, but the seamen at this moment were cringing in fear and did not dare toe up. That fat and pudgy True Condensation Cultivator suddenly grinned and spoke out in a loud voice, The materials we cultivators are looking for are obviously not here, so we will have to go in, those who want to follow us can do so, but after we leave here, there will be no one to protect you, as such you will then have to deal with any problems by yourself. On hearing this kind of threat from the pudgy cultivator the seafarers quickly rushed onto the ind, and finally only Ning Cheng was the only one who still stayed on the boat. You dont want toe up? That pudgy cultivator stared at Ning Cheng and asked, he had already set his sights on Ning Cheng. Before when they were goofing around the ship, he had wanted to slip away, but he was able to force him toe here, but even then he still stayed on till thest. Ning Cheng quickly stood up and spoke, Im afraid that the boat would be swept away, how would we be able to get back if there was no boat, so I n to stay here to keep an eye on the boat. When that pudgy cultivator heard those words, he smiled and was about to speak up, when he heard that woman called Zhuang Ya speak up, If he does not want toe up then so be it, there is also the need for a person to keep an eye on the boat. The number is still almost the same. Good. That pudgy cultivator gave another look to Ning Cheng before giving a short wave, as he disappeared with the rest of the people into the depths of the ind. Just as they disappeared, Ning Cheng stashed the boat onto the side of the ind, and also stepped onto this ind alone. He slowly stretched out his Spiritual Consciousness, he was able to find the source location which was sucking out all the surrounding vitality, which made him feel that the ind was not as simple as it looked. But the Spiritual Qi on this ind was extremely scarce, he simply could not think how anything good could even exist here. Calling back his Spiritual Consciousness, he wanted to find the path through which the fifty plus people left, but instead he found that those fifty plus people had just disappeared from the ce, moreover theypletely disappeared without a trace. Ning Cheng felt something wrong, as he immediately disappeared from that spot and quickly appeared at the spot where he had seen those people before they disappeared, just as the time it took for half an incense stick to burn finished, Ning Cheng stopped in front of the disorderly ced stones on the sandy beach. There was an entrance in the middle of this rocky beach, and outside the entrance were some Array gs. Even if one did not understand Array Formation, they could still tell that the level of this Array Formation was not low. When Ning Cheng took a look at these Array gs, he could immediately tell from the cement of these Array gs that it was definitely set up by a person well versed in arranging Array Formations. As he walked into the entrance, he was immediately hit with a dense smell of blood, immediately Ning Cheng spread out his Spiritual Consciousness and saw a corpse. This corpse was of a person he knew; it was one of the crew who hade here with him. Ning Cheng immediately withdrew from the rocky beach entrance, and he once again swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness, but what he saw through it made his face immediately freeze up. This ce here turned out to be a naturally forming Killing Array, moreover the level of this Array was also not low. When he hade here, he could not even see it. Of the five True Condensation Cultivators that came here, there was someone among them who could recognize this Natural Killing Array, moreover he even ced an Array g at the entrance, moreover the rank of this Array g was definitely higher than his own, it seemed that one of them was definitely an Array Formation Master. No wonder this ind had so many corpses, it turned out that they were all killed by this Natural Killing Array. If one wanted to find a Natural Killing Array then it was very simple, but if one wanted to break a Natural Killing Array, it was actually very difficult. However, if one walked the path of evil, then there was a straightforward method to bypass it, and that was the method of blood sacrifice. Using the method of blood sacrifice to break the Natural Killing Array was a very cruel way, it involved sacrificing a human life at every Array g in the Natural Killing Array to create another g. The crew mans corpse that he had seen just now, was apparently the first person to be sacrificed to the g. The Killing Intent in Ning Chengs heart immediately surged, he was someone who could totally not stand this kind of thing. Before he had thought that those people had brought those seafarers here to do some hardbour like digging up materials, but it now appeared that it was not at all like that. If he had known that these people would be used as sacrifices for the gs, Ning Cheng would have already secretly killed the five True Condensation Cultivators. These sailors were all ordinary people, simr to his current identity, and were working on the ship with their blood and sweat just to earn some gold. But unexpectedly their small lives, in front of these cultivators, did not mean anything at all. Ning Cheng immediately increased his pace as he rushed inside, but he soon stopped, as he saw 48 more corpses, which meant that the blood sacrifice wasplete. Ning Cheng forcibly calmed himself down, as he once again sent out his Spiritual Consciousness which was once again blocked by something. Looking at his current position, this reef passage was dark and damp, there were about 7 or 8 turns in this passage, but it waspletely dead silent. There wasnt even a shadow of those 5 True Condensation Cultivators to be seen. But Ning Cheng was able to feel it, for this passage to open, it was because of the 49 seamen that were used as blood sacrifices. Boom A loud explosion sound came from the end of the passage. The next moment, a huge natural rock temple without any particr shape appeared in Ning Chengs Spiritual Consciousness. Ning Cheng did not hesitate even for a single bit, before with a sh he immediately swerved and entered the natural rock temple. Chapter 0166 – Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves Chapter 0166: Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves The rocky temple was full of potholes, and the surrounding stone walls did not even have the slightest trace of a straight line, moreover there were many sharp stgmites hanging down from the ceiling above, which would make any person doubt that these stgmites might fall and hit their head any time. In the middle of the temple, there was a circr pond. Compared to the shapeless and irregr rocky temple, and the irregr but sharp stgmites hanging upside down from the ceiling above, this perfectly circr pond was really a stark contrast. The perfect roundness and smoothness of the pool made it look like it was drawn and carved out by the most standardpass that was used to draw circles. In the middle of this empty pool there was a pair of creamy white leaves suspended, these leaves braved the misting from the pond, and made it looked like it was growing from inside the pond, moreover the leaves were also emitting a faint golden colour. The stgmites right above the pond were dripping a creamy white liquid drop by drop, and all this creamy liquid fell into the pond inside. Is it the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves? Ning Cheng almost called it out loud, he knew about this thing. It can be said that although he had obtained many things in the Angry Axe Valley, but it was not necessary that all of them were as precious as the two leaves in front of him. These Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves was not a Spiritual Grass, strictly speaking it can be considered as materials for crafting artefacts, but then again it cannot bepletely regarded as only materials for crafting artefacts. That is because each of the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves can be crafted into a flight type magic weapon. A flight type magic weapon crafted from one of the leaves of the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves was an absolutely priceless treasure. But no one was stupid enough to individually craft these Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves into a flight type magic weapon, since the more important characteristic of the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves was that both of them together could be refined to wings. After a cultivator obtains a pair of mature Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves, then after refining it, he can easily hide it behind there back. In that case, they could always stimte the Heavenly Cloud Wings behind them for flight, just like a pair of wings in general. Stepping onto flying swords or using other general flying type artefacts, whenpared to the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves, they simply provided only a weak burst of speed. But then with his peripheral vision, Ning Cheng immediately woke up from his joy, as he sensed that there were other people here. Ning Cheng directed his nce towards the sides of the rock temple, just now he could see five individuals that had juste in, but two of them had immediately fallen. Ning Cheng used his Spiritual Consciousness to sweep past them and immediately recognized these two people, but at the moment their bodies did not contain any aura. At the same time, looking at the wounds on the two men, Ning Cheng could judge that these two men should have been killed by a sneak attack from theirpanions. The three remaining people standing were the long haired cultivator, that woman named Zhuang Ya, and the pudgy cultivator who was very unhappy with Ning Cheng before. At this point the three of them were standing separately aside in each corner. They were wary of each other, as such none of them went ahead to snatch the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves. Ning Cheng at this moment chose toe in, and suddenly broke the deadlock situation, immediately letting the three people focus on Ning Cheng. How can youe here? The long haired cultivator stared at Ning Cheng and asked in a cold voice, while simultaneously sweeping Ning Cheng with his Spiritual Sense. The pudgy cultivatorughed and said, This guy is very clever. He should have seen the entrance, and then came inside...... Speaking till here, this pudgy cultivators smile slowly faded away, as he felt that something was wrong. If Ning Cheng was an ordinary person, then after seeing so many corpses on the way here, how could he still dare toe in? Although Zhuang Ya did not speak, but she was fixedly staring at Ning Cheng. Moreover, the three of them were continuously sweeping Ning Cheng with their Spiritual Sense, but still none of them were able to see or even sense Ning Chengs cultivation. Come here and take down those two leaves for us...... The pudgy cultivator spoke after a long time, before making himself believe that at most Ning Cheng was just an ordinary cultivator, as he frowned and spoke out that sentence in a doubt. The long haired cultivator who was intently staring at Ning Cheng finally rxed his gaze, he was confident that he had seen through the cultivation of Ning Cheng. He thought that although Ning Cheng concealed his cultivation, at most he would only be a Late Stage Qi Gathering Cultivator. But when he discovered that Zhuang Ya and that pudgy cultivator were still observing Ning Cheng. He suddenly sound transmitted to both of them and said, This man should not be an ordinary person, so we will have to jointly attack him. Good.... Zhuang Ya only spoke a single word good before shooting out a ck light, this ck light was directed towards Ning Cheng. The long haired cultivator also threw out something with his hands at the same time, but this object from his hands was aimed at Zhuang Ya. Boom...... A burst of True Essence resounded throughout the rock temple, as the weapon of the long haired cultivator collided with Zhuang Yas magic weapon. The long haired cultivator had not expected that Zhuang Ya not only attacked Ning Cheng with one hand, but would also attack him with her other hand. But because Zhuang Ya was simultaneously attacking Ning Cheng and the long haired cultivator, her True Essence was not sufficient. But still, facing the attack from the long haired cultivator she only took a few steps back, but before she recovered, that pudgy cultivator shot out innumerable quantities of lights that bombed onto Zhuang Yas body. Zhuang Ya could not believe it, as she turned and looked at the pudgy cultivator, Guang Yuchong why do you want to fight with me? The pudgy cultivator spoke with a deadpan expression, You want to kill my elder brother. How can I allow you to do it? Pang Yuze, he is your brother? Zhuang Ya stared at the long haired cultivator and did not seem to believe such a result. But she did not need the answer from the long haired cultivator, she already knew that the pudgy cultivator was telling the truth, Pang Yuze, Guang Yuchong, does it even needed to be exined? [TL Note C Pang Yuze and Guang Yuchong has almost identical first two characters in their name, hence the reference.] Guang Yuchong simply took no notice that he had attacked Zhuang Ya just now, and gave a sideways nce at Ning Cheng and spoke, Boy, did you not here what I said just now? Hurry up ande here. He vaguely could perceive that Ning Cheng only seemed to have the cultivation of Qi Gathering Realm, as such, how could the captain of the ship give him a separate room, especially since he was brought over as a crew member for rowing? Ning Cheng spoke in a light voice, This pair of Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves is not yet fully mature, it would simply be a waste if you collected it now, you will have to wait for some time, before it could be taken down and refined. As Ning Cheng finished speaking, the three people immediately stared at Ning Cheng, even the seriously injured Zhuang Ya was looking at Ning Cheng as if she did not dare to believe it. How do you know that this is the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves? Who are you? Did you intentionally follow us here? That pudgy cultivator spoke out one question after another. He should be a Qi Gathering Cultivator, for him to know about the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves is also not unusual. The long haired cultivator finally calmed down as he spoke. When the pudgy cultivator heard these words, he could not hold out any longer, as he immediately punched out towards Ning Cheng, as he spoke the words, Then let me send you to hell. Ning Cheng stood there without moving, he simply raised his hand and casually threw out a punch, the powerful Axe Intent directly disintegrated the pudgy cultivators Imposing Manner in a neat and clean way, moreover this Axe Intent that formed into a Fist Shadow did not even stop for half a moment because of it. Before it exploded onto the pudgy cultivators body, immediately sting him into a bloody mist. This pudgy cultivator could not even utter a single sound before he was directly killed by a single punch from Ning Cheng!! This kind of scene immediately made the long haired cultivator feel sluggish, how was this the strength of a Qi Gathering Cultivator? Even if it was an Essence Building Cultivator, he would still not be able to st a True Condensation 9th Level cultivator into a bloody mist with just a single punch. Senior, spare...... This long haired cultivator could not even finish begging for mercy, before he was killed simrly by a single punch from Ning Cheng. Zhuang Ya absentmindedly stared at Ning Cheng. At this time, she finally came to understand how Ning Cheng had such a strong presence, this kind of cultivation was absolutely above even the pinnacle of Essence Building Realm. When she saw that Ning Chengs eyes nce at her, she gave a deste smile, Thank you senior for avenging me...... Before he could say anything, she forcefully used her True Essence to tear her own Meridians and Dantian, and in a very short moment died. For these people who died just now, Ning Cheng would not show even half a shred ofpassion. After burning the corpses, Ning Cheng began to work his mind, these Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves have not yet matured, so how could he take them away? Moreover, the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves need a specific growing environment, moreover it takes an inherently long time to grow it, once it was removed, it cant continue to grow anymore. Ning Cheng considered it over and over in his mind, before finally deciding to stay here and wait for the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves to mature, if he missed this opportunity, then he may not encounter such a thing in his entire lifetime. If he casually went up and took the not yet matured Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves, he could never reconcile with it in his entire life. Moreover, he also saw how to refine the mature Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves in the book that he had read before, as such there was still room for advancement. ...... After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng cleaned out all the traces outside, before returning back again. He believed that once the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves here matured, then he could then go find the Pu Bu Ind by himself, moreover it would even be much faster that the ship. The Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves need a generous amount of Spiritual Qi for growth, as such Ning Cheng threw tens of High Grade Spirit Stones into the pond, and also arranged a Spiritual Gathering Array. After observing for a while, Ning Cheng found that the Spiritual Qi absorption by the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves was still not fast enough. He was then reminded of his own cultivation scene, when he was cultivating in the Angry Axe Valley, when he had converted the Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Stones into a mist. This Spiritual Qi mist, was more suitable for the growth of the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves. As Ning Cheng thought of this, he immediately took out 500,000-600,000 High Grade Spirit Stones, and covered the entire rocky temple with it. On the ship he did not dare to cultivate in such a big way, but here he did not have any such scruples. With this Ning Cheng once again entered into the state of cultivation, soon the rocky temple was filled with a mist, moreover Ning Cheng and everything inside of the temple waspletely surrounded by this Spiritual Mist. Ning Cheng also gradually put aside the matter of the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves, as he immersed himself in cultivation with all his heart. The Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves under the influence of such a rich Spiritual Mist, emitted a golden glow that was getting brighter and brighter every moment, but this thing was simply not noticed by Ning Cheng. This rich Spiritual Mist waspletely being absorbed by Ning Cheng without even leaving the faintest of traces behind, before being converted into True Essence, then entering his Meridians through his Acupuncture Points. Unconsciously Ning Chengs cultivation also began to progressively improve. Ning Cheng had originally intended to cultivate in here for just about two weeks before leaving this ce, but at the moment he had been cultivating in this ce for nearly a month, moreover he was still crazily absorbing the Spiritual Qi here while still cultivating. As such, at this time he had already advanced to the Late Stage of Essence Building 3rd Level. As his cultivation improved, his absorption of Spiritual Qi also became faster and faster. The Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves under the influence of the Spiritual Mist had already matured, and although it was still hidden in the Spiritual Mist, it still emitted a faint glow, but still Ning Cheng did not feel it. In these past two weeks, Ning Cheng felt that his cultivation once again reached a critical point. As he once again opened up all his Acupuncture Points to absorb the Spiritual Qi. In order to cultivate, Ning Cheng had used up countless Spirit Stones turning them into powder, when suddenly Ning Cheng felt his Sea of Consciousness shaking, after it issued a light snapping sound, he immediately opened his eyes. The True Essence had immediately transformed into a thick gurgling stream flowing through his already wide meridians. He once again swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness, and found that his surroundings had immediately became extremely clear. A faint roaring sound could be heard from a distance, but Ning Cheng did not mind it at all, as he immediately stood up and mumbled to himself, Already at the Essence Building Intermediate Stage, even whenpared to those geniuses at cultivation, their speed is still nothingpared to this. This time the roaring grew louder, but also was apanied by a shrill voice of rage, Ning Cheng finally felt that something was not right, this kind of sound was not something that belonged to this uninhabited ind. Chapter 0167 – Golden Angry Axe Line Chapter 0167: Golden Angry Axe Line Peng...... Soon a violent shaking spread throughout the rocky temple, Ning Cheng could even feel the ground beneath his feet tremble a bit. It seemed as if the Natural Array Formation had been destroyed. He immediately swept out his Spiritual Consciousness from inside the rocky temple but when he saw the scene outside, he waspletely stunned and for a moment even forgot how to speak. War, this was the real war, as many monstrous beasts and cultivators were fighting together. When he saw that, Ning Cheng knew that the Yi Xing Oceans war had broken out again, and at this time it had already reached to the point that even the ind seas were caught up in it. The two sides that were fighting were abination of monstrous beasts and cultivators on one side against simrly robed cultivators on the other side, but the robes of these cultivators fighting along with the monstrous beasts and the robes worn by the cultivators from the Jia Continents maind were different, he concluded that the cultivators wearing different robes were cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean, while the other side, wearing simrly styled military uniforms were the unified Jia Continents Military cultivators. As both the sides fought with each other, numerous cultivators were killed every minute. Those with high cultivation levels were controlling the flight type magical artefacts and were fighting against the others with simr cultivation levels by themselves, while the ones with low cultivation were fighting in close quarters mostly on the war ships while some on the ground. Bang...... A powerful sound of a cannon st rang throughout the surroundings, after a which a hot fireball fell onto the middle of a battalion of the cultivator army from the Jia Continent, immediately killing arge amount of cultivators. Several of these fireballs alsonded on the ind on which Ning Cheng was staying, immediately loosening some of the hanging stgmites which came crashing down. Ning Cheng immediately was reminded of the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves, and quickly focussed his attention towards the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves. When Ning Cheng saw that the two golden lights from the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves had converged together with a slightly more golden sheen at the edges and tips, he was immediately overjoyed in his heart, he knew that at this time the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves had fully matured. With this Ning Cheng was in no mood to watch the battle raging outside, he immediately first went ahead and carefully collected the two leaves of the pair of Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves. Then using arge jade box, he carefully put the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves into the jade box before storing it away. Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief. Sounds of hasty footsteps resounded through the rocky temple, Ning Cheng knew that the war had finally reached his part of the ind as the two sides fought each other. Moreover, the Natural Killing Array around this ce was nowpletely destroyed. Although this kind of Natural Killing Array was of a high level, however under the powerful bombardment of the Spirit Stone Cannons and the attacks from the superior cultivators above, it could hardly pose any resistance. The one rushing towards him was a military soldier wearing the cultivator robes of Jia Continent. But at the moment he was covered in blood, and was seriously injured, while behind him were two cultivators from Yi Xing Ocean ganging up on him. Ning Cheng immediately stepped forward to help that cultivator soldier from the Jia Continent, but one of the cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean suddenly shot out a red light from his hand. It collided with the Jia Continents cultivator who was still a few meters away from the rocky temple immediately killing him. After killing him, the two Yi Xing Oceans cultivators then saw Ning Cheng, without any hesitation both of them immediately rushed towards Ning Cheng in order to kill him. These two were simply two Early Stage True Condensation Cultivators, Ning Cheng simply raised his hand and threw out two Axe Fists, when these two Yi Xing Oceans cultivators were stuck by Ning Chengs Axe Fist, they did not even have the slightest ability to fight back, before they were killed by Ning Chengs one punch each. Ning Cheng saw that there were now more soldiers from both sides on the ind and their numbers were also growing by the moment. There were even a lot of Essence Building Cultivators fighting up in the air, there were even some Profound Congealing Cultivators fighting higher above the Essence Building Cultivators. At this moment he knew that he had to join one of them, otherwise even he wouldnt know how he would end up dead. Ning Cheng with his fastest speed took off the uniform of the Jia Continents cultivator, and put it on over his body. Then turning to the two corpses of the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators, he immediately burned them turning them into ash. As to the cultivator soldier from the Jia Continent, he dug a hole and buried him in it. On the waist of the cultivator soldier from the Jia Continent, he saw a dagger. The dagger was engraved with five words, Yi Cheng Battalions Zhuo Yi. Ning Cheng did not take the dagger, and buried the cultivator soldier along with his dagger. Regardless of if these cultivator soldiers joined the army to obtain cultivation resources or not. Without them, the monstrous beasts and the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators would have long since upied the entire maind. This was an indisputable fact, as such Ning Cheng really admired these cultivator soldiers from the bottom of his heart. Moreover, he had even seen much fiercer battles before, so this kind of situation of war, as such it would not be easy for him to fall here. Seeing more and more people swarming towards his direction, Ning Cheng finally rushed out of the rocky temple, and once again threw out several Axe Fists behind his back. With the passage to the rocky templepletely buried, he cautiously emerged from the entrance at the beach. Then throwing another punch, he immediately disintegrated the entrance to the rocky temple. Once he came outside, the sounds and lights of countless magical weapons and spells bursting all around him was very clear, which was apanied with intermittent bombings from the Spirit Stones Cannons, making Ning Cheng finally aware of how bloody a cultivators war could be. Although he had seen a lot of war movies in his life, but war movies whenpared to the awful bloody scene in front of him, the two of them simply werent even on the same level. Ning Cheng did not immediately go out, at the moment he did not belong to any side, although he was wearing the uniform from the dead Jia Continents cultivator, but at the moment no one could recognise who he was. Ning Cheng then ducked into the concave side of arge stone boulder, and took a look at his cultivator uniform, looking at his left shoulder, there was an orange shoulder card, which showed his military record, there were two stars engraved on it, with the words Second Lieutenant Zhuo Yi. Boom Boom...... more intense explosions hit near to where Ning Cheng was, as Ning Cheng immediately found that the cultivator armies on the ind had be even more dense. He swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness, and saw that the everywhere in the sea as well as thend was filled with all kinds ofbat, moreover it still continued on for several hundreds of miles. Ning Cheng was badly startled in his heart, he reckoned that this was a genuine war battlefield. He could not stay in this ce, he had to leave this ce immediately. Ning Cheng stood up, and was preparing to break through the tight encirclement, and find a rtively safe spot, when he found that two of the cultivator soldiers were rushing towards him while fighting. Both of them were only Qi Gathering Cultivators, Ning Cheng simply took out a Flying Sword, before flicking his hand slightly, immediately cutting the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator in two halves. The Jia Continents cultivator soldier was grateful as he saluted to Ning Cheng saying, Yi Fei Battalions Yang Honghuo thanks Second Lieutenant Zhuo for extending his helping hand. Ning Cheng did not understand the etiquettes of the cultivators inside the barracks, he simply waved his hand and spoke out a dialogue that he recalled, On the battlefield it would be better if one did not hesitate, after all we are allrades. The man he had saved, who was called Yang Honghuo, had a red card on his shoulder, but it only had a single star, he estimated that he was a rank lower than him. He really wanted to ask about this Yang Honghuo as to what exactly was going on, but he did not know how to ask him without exposing himself. Almost the entire Yi Fei Battalion has been annihted, this Yang Honghuo will obey themands of Second Lieutenant Zhuo...... Seeing Ning Cheng did not speak for a long while, this One Star Ranked cultivator soldier once again spoke. Ning Cheng gave an En sound and said, Our Yi Cheng Battalion was also almost wiped out, this time we really were too passive...... Ning Cheng made a spection, he estimated that if the Jia Continents cultivator army was not passive, then they would not have allowed the people from the Yi Xing Ocean to casually hit this ind sea. Yang Honghuo also very much agreed to this as he nodded and spoke, Second Lieutenant Zhuo is right, when the Pu Bu Ind was sneak attacked, the casualties on our side were very heavy, it was even more than that war that happened a century ago. So it turned out to be a sneak attack, Ning Cheng then looked at the battlefield and could clearly tell that the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators and the monstrous beasts fully had an upper hand in this war. Pondering a question for a moment, he spoke, I believe that the Fu Continent and the Zhong Continent will be sending military support, at the moment our top priority is to retreat. Yang Honghuo once again shook his head and spoke, Second Lieutenant Zhuo, it is my guess that we will not receive any support. This sneak attack was not only against the Jia Continent, but even the rest of the continents should have been attacked as well simultaneously. Ning Cheng in his mind was surprised, the maind was simultaneously sneak attacked? If it was as terrible as it sounded, then he had all the more reason to rush back to the Hua Continent. In case the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators and the monstrous beasts wave hit the Hua Continent, what should he do? The cultivator soldiers from the Jia Continent were forced toe onto the ind that Ning Cheng was on. As the numbers of the monstrous beasts and the cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean increased more and more, the troops from the Jia Continent were getting fewer and fewer. Yang Honghuo did not know what Ning Cheng was thinking, his eyes were already red with anxiousness. Although when he had joined the cultivator army, it was for the sake of cultivation. However, after experiencing all those years, his viewpoint had already changed and became one with that of the cultivator army. This time, when he saw hispanions getting killed one after another, how could he still continue to endure it. But since he was a cultivator of the Jia Continents cultivator army, he was instilled with a strict military discipline, since he had stated that he would listen to him, as such he was nowpletely at Ning Chengs disposal, but at the moment since Ning Cheng was not speaking, he also did not dare to rush ahead without permission. You follow behind me. Ning Cheng spoke, as he rushed out, while immediately bringing out his Golden Great Axe. It was a pity that he could not take out his spear at the moment, otherwise at this time he would have disyed the 36 Profound Ice Spear Technique, and would have certainly swept away arge area. Seeing Ning Cheng go out, Yang Honghuo once again clenched his hands onto his long knife as he also rushed out behind him. When Ning Cheng came out, he was immediately surrounded by many Yi Xing Oceans cultivators and monstrous beasts, Ning Cheng immediately chopped down with his Golden Great Axe, immediately bringing out a golden coloured Axe Shadow that seemed to have covered the sky. As the Axe Shadow appeared, the air all around appeared to be tearing apart, making this Axe Trace increasingly clear, moreover as this distortion created by the Axe Trace became increasing clear, one could see small cracks in the air all around it also bing clearer by every moment, these fine cracks instantly split apart the air, it was as if these fine lines were somethinging out of the rift that was formed by this golden Axe Shadow. This was Ning Chengs Third Form of Angry Axe that he hadprehended, the [Axe Line]. After Ning Cheng hadprehended this [Axe Line] form of Killing Intent, this was the first time for him to cast it out in a true sense. Moreover, it was against these cultivators with lower cultivation levels and lower level monstrous beast that hadpletely surrounded him. This time of all the cultivators and monstrous beast that had rushed onto this ind, they only had the cultivations at lower levels, moreover the highest cultivation among them did not even reach Essence Building. As to those people with cultivation of Essence Building and above, they were fighting in the air alone, moreover none of them would fight together with these lower level cultivator soldiers. But when that pale golden Axe Line split the air, a deluge of killing intent swept down, hundreds of Yi Xing Ocean cultivator soldiers, under this terrible Axe Line, could not even move and were locked in ce. These lower level cultivators under this Axe Lines Killing Intent, did not even have a shred of power to resist. As it went past them, the Axe Line immediately split them apart, covering the sky with a shower of blood, as countless lower levelled cultivators and monstrous beasts died in session. It looked as if Ning Cheng was just mowing grass, as whenever the Great Axe came down countless Yi Xing Oceans cultivators ended up dead. Yang Honghuo nkly looked at Ning Cheng and his terrible great axe, and for a long time could not even think, just what kind of Second Lieutenant was this? He also had spent several years in the cultivator army. Howe he had never heard of such a powerful Second Lieutenant? At this time, he was still in a daze, when he finally heard Ning Chengs voice, Yang Honghuo, you quickly go ahead and collect the spoils of war, and then gather our scattered soldiers. Yes, Second Lieutenant. Yang Honghuo replied loudly, and quickly started working ording to what Ning Cheng told him. Since Ning Cheng was the Second Lieutenant in front of him, there was simply no need for him to fight. Looking at the destruction caused by his own Axe, Ning Cheng was secretly shocked in his heart, wasnt his Axe Line a little too fierce. With the example that Ning Cheng had just seen in front of him, he immediately rushed towards the ces where the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators were present in bulk, while simultaneously continued to throw out more of those Golden Axe Lines. As Ning Cheng used his Golden Axe Line to kill all those in his way, very quickly pale golden traces could be seen forming behind him. Chapter 0168 – Fighting Against Profound Congealing Chapter 0168: Fighting Against Profound Congealing At the end those golden axe traces finally became a thing with substance, moreover Ning Cheng waspletely surrounded by those densely packed yet continuously twisting Axe Lines. These Axe Lines were extremely thin, but were formed with a horrifying killing intent. Those lower levelled cultivators, as long as they even touched it, or even came within the range of the killing intent, they would immediately be shredded into a bloody mist. Ning Cheng who had already immersed himself among these densely packed and continuously distorting Axe Line traces around him. He seemed as if he was moving around with a thick brush filled with ink in his hands ready to paint something, but was constantly spilling ink all around him. Originally the consumption of this third form of Angry Axe was thergest, but as Ning Cheng started casting it out continuously, he became more and more ustomed to it while constantly gaining more insights on the go, making it so that the consumption of True Essence and the Spiritual Consciousness became the lowest of all the three forms. The ind was notrge, seeing Ning Cheng killing everything in his path, it soon attracted the attention of everyone, some of the soldiers from the Jia Continent immediately retreated to his side, immediatelying to the conclusion to follow Ning Cheng. By now Yang Honghuo had already gathered together a significant group of the cultivator army of around thousands of people, moreover this number was still continuously rising. Initially, the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator soldiers along with the monstrous beasts had charged to surround Ning Cheng, but in the end, they realised that they could not even touch Ning Cheng before innumerable numbers of them died by his hands, and as such immediately decided to retreat for now. Regardless of if it was a single cultivator or a group of cultivators, they were all ruthlessly killed, the meaning of this kind of scene for any army would always remain the same. As the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator soldiers retreated, the soldiers from the Jia Continent immediately stabilised their positions, and under the influence and help from Ning Cheng, had already started to counter-kill. At this time those warships that belonged to the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators swarmed the ind, immediately creating a huge chaos as cultivators from in there started to join the fight against Ning Cheng and the army he was supporting. But under the leadership of Ning Cheng, the cultivators from the Jia Continent took advantage of the ind that they had upied, and still began to counter-kill. And in just a short time, the entire ind was surrounded by a bloody mist. This ind was the only nearbynd, as such whoever upied it, would of course, have the most favourable situation. Now that the Jia Continent cultivators were upying the ind, moreover had even absolutely crushed the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators with their imposing manner, it immediately attracted the attention of some of the enemy Essence Building Cultivators. Two of the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators abandoned their opponents, as they directly shot towards Ning Cheng, while simultaneously using their full strength with their magic weapons to attack Ning Cheng. If it was a Profound Congealing Cultivator, then Ning Cheng would have chosen to dodge or even escape. But they were only two Essence Building Cultivators. Even if they were Intermediate Stage Essence Building Cultivators, Ning Cheng would not hesitate for even half a moment. Once more grabbing tightly the Golden Great Axe in his hands, he immediately raised it, and drew a semicircle in the air, which immediately shot towards the two Essence Building Cultivators. This Axe Trace was different from the Axe Traces that he had used before, the ones that were formed from the amalgamation of numerous twisting and distorting cracksing into existence when Ning Cheng swung with his axe. This axe trace formed a neat Golden Axe Line. This Golden Axe Shadow was just like a straight line, moreover it felt as if it could easily split open the blue sky in front of it, while the wind around it felt as deste as the autumn wind that swept away the leaves that were shed. When the two Essence Building Cultivators saw from a distance that Ning Chengs Axe Trace seemed to be capable of distorting the space itself and looked extremely frightening, they in addition to using attacking type magic weapons, also resorted to shield type magic weapons. As such they immediately resorted to use their shields to block those terrible distorting Axe Traces. But they never would have thought that Ning Cheng had changed his move, this chop that he had sent out was the First Form of his Angry Axe, [Angry Axe, the 1st Trace]. Boom......Ka Ka...... The powerful golden edged Axe Line directly broke through their steel fork and the copper mallet magic weapons and immediately collided with the two shields with a loud boom. The two Intermediate Stage Essence Building Cultivators wildly sprayed out several mouthfuls of blood, and immediately flew out like a cannonball. These two Essence Building Cultivators werepletely scared out of their wits, if they had not prepared their shields in advance, then both of them would have immediately died after being spilt. But just as the two Yi Xing Oceans cultivators had fallen half the distance down, behind them immediately appeared two Essence Building Cultivators from the Jia Continent, who attacked them without any hesitation. The two of them did not even have the capacity to exhibit even a shred of resistance before both of them were directly split into two halves. But these two Essence Building Cultivators were stunned for a moment. Before they had killed the two Yi Xing Oceans Essence Building Cultivators, they had fought with them for a long time, so they knew that those two men were definitely strong, but they could see that Ning Cheng could have easily killed the two people as long as he made another move. Just what sort of cultivation did he have? Are you really a Two Star Second Lieutenant? One of the Essence Building Cultivators could not believe it as he looked as the insignia on Ning Chengs shoulder and immediately asked. Ning Cheng nced at the badges of the two men, the man who just spoke was named Si Yongchun and was already a 3 Star Senior Captain, while the others name was Xuan Feihong and was a 4 Star Junior Marquis. Although the two peoples ranks were higher than his but he did not pay much attention to it, but still spoke with a sinking expression on his face, What kind of time is it now, for you to take note of such unimportant things? Si Yongchun, you and Xuan Feihong immediately go and gather the soldiers scattered throughout the ind. Once you have gathered all of them, look for the best opportunity, and immediately start the counter-attack against them. Yes. The two of them quickly agreed in unison, as they turned and quickly gathered the remaining soldiers along with Yang Honghuo. Although they were from the cultivator army of the Jia Continent, but they were also cultivators. Moreover, they were first cultivators, and only then were they soldiers of the cultivator army. Ning Chengs cultivation was clearly much higher than them, even if they had questions in their hearts, at this point of time they could only obey the strong. Just as Ning Cheng saw those two Essence Building Cultivators listen to his words, and were on their way to gather the scattered soldiers, he was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he saw a ck line rush towards him. Profound Congealing Cultivator...... Seeing the imposing manner of this cultivator, Ning Cheng immediately realised that this was a Profound Congealing Cultivator. Die for me. This Profound Congealing Cultivator was standing atop a ck warship, which was extremely fast and flexible. He had not yet arrived in front of Ning Cheng, when he immediately waved a red g, this red g seemed to be made out of clouds and had a fiery glow to it, as it wrapped Ning Cheng in itpletely. Only Ning Cheng was the one to know that he was notpletely bound by this red g. This red g was definitely a fire attributed Spiritual Artefact, it was precisely why he had let himself to be captured by it and let it burn him. Unfortunately, the other party did not know that he had the seed of the Star River, any kind of hot me or thermal energy that touched Ning Chengs body surface would bepletely swallowed up by this seed of Star River. Thus Ning Cheng did not feel much fear in his heart. Originally Ning Cheng had some fear against fighting a Profound Congealing Cultivator, but now that fear hadpletely disappeared. Although his opponent was a Profound Congealing Cultivator, but he was only so so, as he could easily open this Red Cloud g with just a single Axe Chop. At the moment he was d that he had advanced to the Essence Building 4th Level, if he was still in the Essence Building 1st Level, then when he was suddenly wrapped up and swept away by this Red Cloud g, then even if he had the help of the Star River, he could only try to retreat. Although Ning Cheng could break through this Red Cloud Fag, but he did not choose to do so. It was not that he could not do it, but on the contrary he wanted to use this opportunity to rush towards this Profound Congealing Cultivator. This Red Cloud g was made up of heavy and fiery hot red clouds that were surrounding Ning Cheng, but these were all continuously being sucked up inside of Ning Cheng. At this time this Profound Congealing Cultivator was sneering as he thought, a mere Intermediate Stage Essence Building Cultivator, but still dare to wildly kill the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators? But soon this Profound Congealing Cultivator felt that something was not right, although there were innumerable red hot fiery clouds making up the Red Cloud g, but after sweeping upon Ning Cheng, they were quickly dissipating without a trace. But before this Profound Congealing Cultivator thought clearly about what was going on, Ning Chengs Golden Great Axe immediately struck out. Immediately a tornado formed with swirls of golden coloured killing intent exploded out from Ning Chengs Axe. This Axe immediately broke open all the Red Clouds from the Profound Congealing Cultivators Red Cloud g, sucking them into it, as it immediately formed a Killing Intent Tornado sweeping towards this Profound Congealing Cultivator. This Profound Congealing Cultivator never had thought that Ning Cheng was able to remain safe and sound after being attacked by his Red Cloud g, moreover while the Red Cloud g was still in his hands, the numerous red hot clouds and the gold swirls of Axe Type Killing Intent of Ning Cheng had even fused together as it rolled together towards him. Pa Pa Pa Pa Endless sounds of explosions could be heard, as these fiery red clouds could not even reach Ning Cheng, moreover they seemed as if they could not even contend against Ning Chengs Second Form of Angry Axe, the [Tornado] before being absorbed by it. After the violent impact, this Profound Congealing Cultivator, to his horror, found that his True Essence had unexpectedly stagnated. Moreover, those endless red clouds had finally been sucked into Ning Chengs body, it was just like mud disappearing into the sea,pletely disappearing without even a single trace. When those red clouds were once again blocked by the golden axe, the Profound Congealing Cultivator felt a burst of weakness hit him. At this time as Ning Chengs Golden Great Axe approached him without even the slightest dy, even if he could dodge the Tornado, he knew that he would not be able topletely block the Axe Type Killing Intent in it. Not good, this man definitely is a Profound Congealing Cultivator, and is hiding his true cultivation. This Profound Congealing Cultivator determined that Ning Cheng was hiding his cultivation, and immediately felt his courage leaving him, he did not dare to engage against Ning Cheng anymore. The Red Cloud g in his hand immediately burst with a wild Imposing Manner, and in just a short period of time, this Red Cloud g detonated with a loud boom. He wanted to use this trick to escape, but at this time Ning Chengs Angry Axe Second Form, [the Tornado], had just finished fully gathering and materialising its Killing Force, as it immediately burst open. Boom Boom Boom...... Two powerful forcesprising of True Essence and Killing Force immediately shot together, resulting in terrible explosion sounds. Ning Cheng, because of the terrible shock wave produced by the explosion of True Essence, was pushed back a few steps, as he almost sprayed out a mouthful of blood, but then immediately saw that the Profound Congealing Cultivator was also not much better than him. At this time the other party was panicking like a lost dog, while rapidly retreating. He even fell down to the ind ignoring even his ck warship. Ning Cheng knew that he could not allow the other party to escape, as he immediately rushed up, while once again raising the Golden Great Axe in his hands and once again brought out an Axe Trace that seemed to tear through the heavens. You cannot kill me; I am Yi Xing Oceans Mu...... This Profound Congealing Cultivator guessed that Ning Cheng was also a Profound Congealing Cultivator and more so did not even fear his Red Cloud g, because of which he was already terrified to the extreme. Now that he wanted to run away wholeheartedly, how could he even find the courage to continue to fight with Ning Cheng? Ning Cheng saw that this Profound Congealing Cultivator was terrified, and was afraid to fight with him, and felt a bit relieved in his heart. Although he was not afraid of this man, but if the other party fought desperately, then even if he won, he would win extremely miserably. But now that the other party was unexpectedly afraid of him, why would he stay his hand? If I did not kill you...... Ning Cheng spoke, but his Golden Axe Killing Intent was rising unceasingly from the Golden Great Axe in his hands. This Profound Congealing Cultivator did not have any time to rx, before he saw the Golden Axe Trace tearing through the distance between Ning Cheng and him as it struck on his waist. Then he heard thest few words of Ning Cheng, ...... it would be strange. Killing this Profound Congealing Cultivator, a heroic spirit and a sense of pride seemed to have been born in Ning Cheng. This was the first time for him to fight head on against a Profound Congealing Cultivator, although his Star River had restrained the Red Cloud g of the other party, but it still boosted Ning Chengs confidence. Who can kill a Profound Congealing Cultivator with just the strength of Intermediate Stage Essence building Realm, there absolutely would not be many. After Ning Cheng killed this Profound Congealing cultivator, he immediately rushed towards him, and took away his ring. He felt this Profound Congealing Cultivator was not simple, moreover he was also riding a warship that was definitely not ordinary. It was only now, that Ning Cheng saw that this was one of the fastest warships, this warship was exactly what he needed the most at the moment. After putting the ring away, Ning Cheng immediately arrived next to the warship, he wanted to make this warship his own. As Ning Cheng fought against this Profound Congealing Cultivator, moreover fighting a life and death duel with this Profound Congealing Cultivator, it had only taken a few breaths of time. But in this short period of time, the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators and the Jia Continents cultivators had already forgotten their own fights, and were staring intensely at the battle between the two with surprise and shock on their face. Even after the fight ended they did not respond for a long while. Chapter 0169 – Terrifyingly Huge Sword Shadow Chapter 0169: Terrifyingly Huge Sword Shadow When all the people saw that the Profound Congealing Cultivator was killed by Ning Cheng, after a moment of silence, the battlefield instantly erupted in chaos. Because of the chaos among the cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean, the two Essence Building Cultivators who were previously worried about Ning Cheng, immediately realised that this was the perfect opportunity for them to go ahead and gather their scattered men, and take advantage of this situation to kill their opponents. At the moment there was no one on the entire battlefield whose cultivation could contend against Ning Cheng. Although this battlefield was just the tip of the iceberg, as such a Profound Congealing Cultivator was already the person with the highest cultivation here. As such none of them had ever thought that a Profound Congealing Cultivator would fall on this small ind. Ning Cheng simrly did not have to attend to anything else, he wanted some time to refine this ck warship, he felt that this ship could definitely help him to go back to the Hua Continent. But Ning Cheng was soon disappointed, he found that this warship was not a magic treasure, and as such had no means to refine it. This warship was 34 meters long, and was also seven or eight meters wide. If such a big guy could not be refined, then how could anyone even drive it? Although he had obtained many things in the Angry Axe Valley that were even more precious than this big guy, but none of them posed such an inconvenience to him in such a way. Ning Cheng frowned, as he looked up and saw Yang Honghuo still standing to the side, and immediately asked him. Howe you did not go charge together with them? Yang Honghuo quickly replied, Second Lieutenant Zhuo, I am a soldier from the Jia Continent and have always been in the open on warships. Moreover, the warship that you have just obtained from the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator is a top quality ck Silver Warship, whose speed is extremely fast, and has a toughness that is simply matchless. If Second Lieutenant Zhuo wants to embark on this warship to attack the enemys camp, then I am more than willing to pilot the ship for the Second Lieutenant. Ning Cheng felt his heart move, You know how to operate the warships of the cultivator army? Yang Honghuo firmly nodded his head, Yes, I have always been in the open on the warships, moreover the Yi Fei Battalion is famous for its aerialbats in our cultivator army. Later, because of the Yi Xing Oceans Spirit Stone Cannons outfitted on the warships hadpletely surrounded us, we were all forced to retreat to this ind, where we ended up fighting on the ground. Very good, I do not know much about warships. So can you tell me what you know about these? At this moment Ning Cheng did not pay any mind to his words that could have exposed him, as he was very much eager to get back to the Hua Continent. Yang Honghuo, although had some doubts, but still spoke in a detailed manner, In the cultivator army, whether it is the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army or the cultivator army of the Nine Continents, warships are indispensable. Flying warships and flight type magic weapons are different, as a flying warship is much more strong and tough. But it cannot be refined, and can only be used inbat. Moreover, Spirit Stones are needed to drive these warships, and as such one cannot use ones Spiritual Consciousness or True Essence to power it. Ning Cheng nodded and said, What you said is right, but there is one thing that you spoke wrong. A flying warship cannot only be used in war, but rather the same could also be used for travel. Yang Honghuo quickly spoke, Yes. Although in his heart he did not agree, the quantity of Spirit Stones required to drive these flying warships was very scary, why would anyone use it for their personal travel, unless they had brain problems. Either that or they had an inexhaustible supply of Spirit Stones. You are pretty good, so be it, you help me control this warship, we have to go ahead and kill those bastards. Ning Cheng saw that although the two cultivators Si Yongchun and Xuan Feihong were prevailing as they led the cultivator army, but because there were only a small number of people with them, they may end up copsing if time dragged on, as such he decided to help them a bit before leaving. It would also do him a bit of favour. Yes, Second Lieutenant. Yang Honghuo delightedly called out as he jumped onto the warship. After he saw that Ning Cheng hade aboard, he once again spoke up, Second Lieutenant, I will have to use the sail to rush over. Unfortunately, there are no Spirit Stones, if there were Spirit Stones, we could have then used the Spirit Stone Cannon on this warship, and give those bastards a few refreshing cannon shots.... There is a Spirit Stone Cannon here? Ning Cheng immediately asked. Yang Honghuo quickly replied, Yes, there is a Spirit Stone Cannon here but it requires 1000 High Grade Spirit Stones to operate. It is simply too expensive. Ning Cheng immediately threw a Storage Bag towards Yang Honghuo and said, You just fire, dont worry about Spirit Stones. Yang Honghuo caught the Storage Bag, and swept it with his Spiritual Sense, before suddenly speaking out in a shocked voice, This, this.... there are 100,000 High Grade Spirit Stones ....... Wasnt this Second Lieutenant simply too rich? 100,000 High Grade Spirit Stones, just how many artillery shells could it fire? Even if hebined the wealth of the entire Yi Fei Battalion, it wouldnt be as rich as this. Hurry up. Our time is limited. Ning Chengnded at the front of this ck warship, as he called out to Yang Honghuo. Yes. Yang Honghuo was pleasantly surprised as he emptied the Spirit Stones into the tank, while simultaneously taking the helm of this ck Silver Warship. Ning Cheng, at this moment, was using his Spiritual consciousness to watch Yang Honghuos actions, but when he saw how skilfully Yang Honghuo operated the controls, he immediately realized that Yang Honghuo really was not bragging, as they soon set sail. However, seeing his actions Ning Cheng quickly learned all those things. Ning Cheng then finally proceeded to the warships control room and saw the detailed maritime map. As their ck Silver Warship rushed out in a ck line, almost at the same the ck Silver Warship also started attacking. Ning Cheng immediately felt a shock transmitting towards his foot from the Warship. A bright light from the aft side of the warship immediately erupted, Ning Cheng knew that it was Yang Honghuo shooting. Bang Bang Bang.... Several rounds were shot out continuously, moreover they exploded out with a fierce and powerful fluctuations. These powerful fluctuations were not as mild as that of Spiritual Qi, but rather the burst was full of energy from the explosions of the Spirit Stones. Those Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army who had momentarily met up, under the constant bombardment of the Spirit Stone Cannon were all ripped to pieces. It was just like before when the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators had used those Spirit Stone Cannons to shred apart the Jia Continents cultivator army, but at this time it was the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army that could not even offer a shred of resistance against this terrible Spirit Stone Cannon. Ning Cheng could constantly feel the shocks reverberating through his foot, and was secretly worried that under the constant bombardment from Yang Honghuo, the warship wouldnt finally end up falling apart, right? As for the Spirit Stones, he was not much depressed about it, but in the case that the warship blew apart, then how could he get back to the Hua Continent? However, after several more cannon shots, Ning Cheng felt that this worry of his was simply unnecessary. Although this ck Silver Warship was constantly vibrating, but it did not show any signs of falling apart. Ning Cheng finally calmed down. When he saw those Yi Xing Oceans cultivators in heavy confusion, he directly spoke up, Yang Honghuo, use the warship to rush over there, I want to swing out a few times with my axe. Yes, Second Lieutenant Zhuo. Yang Honghuo happily controlled the warship to rush in the direction pointed, although he was still a bit upset in his heart because he was thoroughly enjoying this sensation, but since the Second Lieutenant has asked for it, how could he not oblige. As to the power of the Second Lieutenant Zhuos golden coloured Axe Line, he was very clear on it. As their warship rushed towards into the middle of the Yi Xing Oceans flying warships, Ning Cheng did not hesitate even in the slightest as he threw out a golden coloured twisted and distorting Axe Line. Many of the Yi Xing Oceans lower levelled cultivators and their flying warships, under Ning Chengs Axe Lines Killing Intent, behaved as if they were dumplings, as they started to fall into the sea dead. When Xuan Feihong saw both Ning Cheng and Yang Honghuo rush past him, moreover instantly taking control of the scene, his heart was overjoyed, as he also started to organise the Jia Continents cultivators on the ind to loot the warships, and then use them to encircle back to kill the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators. From the point of view numbers, the Jia Continents cultivator army was by no means a match to the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army. But because Ning Cheng killed a Profound Congealing Realm Cultivator and also helped in killing their two Essence Building Cultivators, the scene instantly fell into the control of the cultivators from the Jia Continent. Eliminating one person after another, the Jia Continents cultivator army soon took over the scene. As for the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators, under the leadership of the remaining Profound Congealing Cultivator, reluctantly began to retreat. It was not that the Profound Congealing Cultivator did not dare to fight against Ning Cheng, but he was afraid that if he did then the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army would bepletely annihted. As for those lower levelled monstrous beasts, they simply could not retreat, as a lot of those monstrous beasts were still following themands that were given to them previously. Once the cultivators who gave them themands were dead, then these monstrous beastspletely messed up everything. Ning Cheng along with his warship was extremely aggressive, but the number of Yi Xing Oceans cultivators was simply too much. As these cultivators started retreating, the Jia Continents cultivator army also killed a few of them, but if they wanted topletely wipe them out, they simply had no way to do it with their numbers. Yang Honghuo, aim the cannon of the warship at those retreating, do not be a miser with the Spirit Stones. Ning Cheng found that the warships of the Jia Continents cultivators were rtively few in number, while the warships at the side of Yi Xing Ocean were more. As such those Yi Xing Oceans cultivators who were retreating would definitely use those warships to try and get away, as such Ning Cheng did not hesitate to allow Yang Honghuo to direct the cannon fire at them. He gave up on those cultivators trying to escape, as he exclusively targeted the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators aboard the warships. These cultivators who were preparing to escape soon understood Ning Chengs plot, as those cultivators hastily threw themselves down from the warships. The cultivators on the side of the Jia Continent also understood Ning Chengs attempts to control the warships. As long as they controlled the warships, the escaping Yi Xing Oceans cultivators would not be able to escape very far. After two hours, this piece of battlefield finallypletely stabilised. As arge expanse of the warships were now under the control of the cultivators from the Jia Continent, but at the moment most of these warships were in a damaged state, and were unable to battle right away, which allowed a lot of Yi Xing Oceans cultivators to escape. The two Essence Building Cultivators, Si Yongchun and Xuan Feihong understood Ning Chengs attempts, he knew that it was impossible for the Jia Continents cultivator army topletely wipe out the cultivator army from the Yi Xing Ocean, but still for them to beat them to such a state, was already a good luck within a good luck. It was already a bit toote for the two Essence Building Cultivators toe up and greet Ning Cheng, as they quickly gathered the rest of the Essence Building Cultivators, as they realigned the cultivators from the Jia Continent, and then proceed on with their cultivations aboard the warships. Second Lieutenant Zhuo, my Yi Fei Battalion has already been annihted, I would like to formally request to join the Yi Cheng Battalion as a soldier under Second Lieutenant.... Yang Honghuo excitedly came out from the control room of the warship, and spoke with an excited tone. He had never fought such a head on battle, which involved directly shing against and tearing apart opponents ships. This Second Lieutenant Zhuos Golden Great Axe, was simply invincible, all the cultivators that wanted toe close to their warship, were all killed by his Golden Great Axe by droves. Ning Cheng simply waved his hand and said, Yang Honghuo, this battlefield is not even the tip of the iceberg, there was not even a single master that came here, as long as there was even a Late Stage Profound Congealing Expert or a Profound Core Expert, let alone winning as easily as this, we would not be able to even escape. I heard that in the Le Continents Yi Xing Oceans battlefield, even experts of Crucible Transformation Realm could be found,pared to them our existences are simply like that of cannon fodder. Ning Cheng was very calm, from what he could see, an Early Stage Profound Congealing Realm Cultivator was already a top ss existence here, but in the entire battlefield of the Yi Xing Ocean, it would not only have Profound Congealing Cultivators, but would also certainly have more formidable masters. It was just that those masters were busy against others, otherwise once those masters arrived, then even with his powerful Angry Axe Killing Intent, he would only be like a floating cloud. Yang Honghuo was just about to speak, when a tyrannically strong Spiritual Consciousness swept towards them, which was followed by an angry voice, Little bastard, I am going to skin you...... When Ning Cheng heard that voice he suddenly shuddered, this voice was definitelying from extremely far away, but he could still feel his soul vibrate. This definitely was an expert at Soul Essence Realm at the very least, not to mention an expert at Soul Essence Realm, even if it was a Profound Core Realm, or even Late Stage Profound Congealing Realm, Ning Cheng knew that he was simply not their match, facing against a Soul Essence Master, would he still be able to live? Quickly escape, Ning Cheng had just thought of this, when an extremely huge Sword Shadow descended, while Ning Cheng could not even see a shadow of the opposite party anywhere in his sight. Chapter 0170 – Joining The Cultivator Army Chapter 0170: Joining The Cultivator Army Run...... Ning Cheng had only had the time to call out just a single word to Yang Honghuo, before he frantically poured all of his True Essence into the chop from his Golden Great Axe. The other person, because of the distance between them, could only send out a Sword Shadow, if it truly was a substantial Sword Light then Ning Cheng would not even try to resist it, because he knew that even if he employed his full power he would not be able to stop it on his own. Moreover, this Sword Shadow was made from that persons Spiritual Consciousness, as such Ning Cheng felt that if he could give it his best shot, then he should be able to block it. As long as Yang Honghuo understood in time what he had meant, and promptly maneuvered the warship, then he still had a glimmer of hope of escaping. Even if Ning Cheng was able toe up with a better n, once Yang Honghuo could not control the warship, or if his Axe had no way to hold up against that Sword Shadow, then the only option left for him was to jump into the Yi Xing Ocean, and then try to escape into the Mysterious Yellow Bead. At this time Ning Cheng was regretting that he could not use the Blood Escaping Talisman, he did not know how many times he had reprimanded himself in his heart for it, but even if he cursed himself innumerable times, him using the Blood Escaping Talisman could not be turned back. But at this moment Yang Honghuos experience on the battlefield was even richer that Ning Cheng. When he looked at his posture, he immediately knew that he had absolutely no way of helping him, the only way to help him was to control the warship to escape far away. As such, he did not need any hints from Ning Cheng, Yang Honghuo once again burst into the control room of the warship, and promptly started the warship. Boom...... The Sword Shadow that fell down towards them from a distance and finally collided with Ning Chengs golden coloured Axe Trace, immediately letting out an intense explosion of True Essence and Imposing Manner, causing Yang Honghuo and the warship to directly fly out. Because of the sharp and berserk True Essence fluctuations, a huge whirlpool with a radius of several feet formed in the raging waters of the sea below them. Some of the still struggling cultivators in the sea were directly swept away by this powerful whirlpool, beforepletely disappearing. At this moment, Ning Cheng felt as if a terrifyingly huge million-pound hammer had stuck his chest, the horrendous powerful force was not something that he could fully bear. The next moment, Ning Cheng was just like a cannon shell that had been shot out of a cannon, as he was thrown off from the warship. His hopes of using the warship to escape waspletely and thoroughly finished. Ning Cheng who was still in the air, sprayed out several mouthfuls of blood, while the meridians in his entire body were undergoing a searing pain. However, although he was blown off, at least he was able to escape from the range of the Imposing Manner of this Sword Shadow, moreover because of the toughness and resilience of his meridians, although they were violently shaken, but at least they did not break apart. But even if that was the case, Ning Cheng in his mind was not that happy, the other party had just casually sent out a Sword Shadow from a faraway distance, which rendered Ning Cheng in such a state, once the other party came face to face with him, then would he still have a chance of survival? At this moment Yang Honghuo was able to finally take control of the warship, because Ning Cheng had blocked most of the power and Imposing Manner of the Sword Shadow. Which only resulted in them flying out because of the powerful True Essence shockwave, as for the warship, and he himself, they did not suffer any injury. Once Yang Honghuo stabilised the warship, he did not control the warship to escape, but rather controlled the warship to rush towards the side of Ning Cheng. It was apparent that he wanted to be by Ning Chengs side at any cost. Yi! a mere Essence Building Cultivator. But still able to block my Sword Shadow formed from my Spiritual Consciousness? It seems that I will have to pick up my sword once again...... As the words fell down, a tall and thin man suddenly appeared in the eyes of the people, in the air and above the waters of the still churning sea. Ning Chengs heart sank, the other side had casually sent out a Sword Shadow from a faraway distance, it was already enough to almost kill him, but now that the person himself hase in front of him, just where in the world could he even hide? Moreover, on seeing the man he knew that he was not mistaken. This definitely was a Soul Essence Cultivator, what was even more depressing was that he was actually a Late Stage Soul Essence Cultivator. Haha, Wa Lu, you already are a Late Stage Soul Essence Cultivator, and you still want to bully an Essence Building Cultivator, do you really have no sense of shame, let this father apany you to y...... Another voice spread throughout the battlefield, moreover this voice was like amon knife passing through a bolt of white silk. Kong Peng Peng. Today I will kill you, then exterminate all these ants, as revenge for Tuyun...... That tall looking man had a knife scouring mark on his face, and had a fierce light in his eyes. At the moment he had already given up the idea of killing Ning Cheng, as he turned around and immediately starting fighting with the other person. Ning Cheng finally felt a bit relief, as he fell onto Yang Honghuo in the open space of the warship, as he spoke to Yang Honghuo, Thank you, but you could have escaped from this ce. Yang Honghuo immediately stood up and said, Please do not say that, my life was saved by Second Lieutenant Zhuo. Moreover, I have also be a soldier under Second Lieutenant, how could I try and escape first. Ning Cheng just nodded his head and did not speak anymore, as he sat up on the deck of the warship and began to heal himself. He had just advanced to the Essence Building 4th Level, and had also managed to kill an Early Stage Profound Congealing Cultivator. Although he was a bit self-satisfied with it, but he was not proud. Compared to the person who had almost ended up killing him from extremely far away with just a Sword Shadow, his strength was still too low. Fortunately, the injury that Ning Cheng had sustained was not heavy, because the Soul Essence Cultivator was extremely far away that Sword Shadow was able to be blocked by Ning Chengs Golden Axe Trace. After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng finally stood up. At this time, he was shocked to find out that the fight between these two Soul Essence Cultivators was not something that ordinary cultivator could even interfere. Because all around the two people fighting, for almost in a range of hundred feet, their True Essence was violently surging. Within that range, there was neither a cultivator nor a single warship present, moreover everyone near them already knew that they had to withdraw, otherwise they all would have ended up dying from just the residual shocks from the two people fighting. Even the seawater below them was churning violently to the point of creating massive waves, as such even the nearest spectators, had already withdrawn thousands of meters away. Ning Cheng came to understand, no wonder that before when the cultivators were fighting against each other, the highest cultivation among them was only at Profound Congealing Realm, as long as an advanced level cultivator entered the battlefield, the entire battle field would belong to that advanced level cultivator. The two people fighting were clearly cultivators in the Late Stages of Soul Essence Realm, Ning Cheng saw that the tall man with thin eyes had a long sword type magic weapon that was as long as his body, while his opponent was a short man, that had an extremely wide edged knife type magic weapon. But looking at both of them, there magic weapons werepletely out of tune, but even then one could still tell that the two of them were fighting extremely fiercely with just a nce. As the thick Knife Light that looked like a bolt of silk and the Sword Light collided at the same ce, Ning Cheng could only see a formidable True Essence whirlpool even with using his Spiritual Consciousness. After the time it took for another half an incense stick to burn passed by, that tall man angrily stormed out of the Knife Light and Sword Lights range, as he coldly stared at Ning Cheng and said, Little bastard, you killed Shen Tuyun, sooner orter your head will be sent to the Yi Xing Ocean. Saying that he looked at the short person he was battling against and spoke with a grunt, Kong Peng Peng, be proud that I am giving you some more time, once I advanced to the Soul Sculpting Realm, lets see if you could stillpete with me? After that remark, his stature flickered a few times, before he disappeared in a twinkling of an eye. To defeat me as your opponent, you want to advance to the Soul Sculpting Realm, do you think that your grandpa will just sit still? Bah. The short man did not go catch up to him, but rathernded at the front of Ning Chengs warship. Yang Honghuos action was even faster than Ning Chengs, as he hurriedly came forward and offered a military salute, Yi Fei Battalions Yang Honghuo greets General Kong. As Ning Cheng saw this, he quickly learnt from Yang Honghuos action and spoke, Yi Cheng Battalions Zhuo Yi greets General Kong. Meanwhile Ning Cheng already had taken a nce at the mans shoulder, it had a blue card with 6 Stars, with the name Kong Peng Peng written on it. Are you really a 2 Star Lieutenant? Before when I fought with that small eyes, I saw you killing a Profound Congealing Cultivator through my Spiritual Sense. Moreover, the warship beneath your feet should also have been snatched from that Profound Congealing Cultivator, right? Based on your skill, you should at least be a 3 Star Senior Captain. How can you still be only a Second Lieutenant? Kong Peng Peng looked at Ning Cheng and asked in a puzzling manner. Ning Cheng felt a chill run down his spine, as he thought that his movements of when he had killed the enemy were already seen through, it was no wonder that that Wa Lu hade to kill him, it seemed that originally he had specificallye here to kill him. But even with his Spiritual Sense, he could not detect even half a scent. But Ning Cheng soon put aside those thoughts, it was not that his vignce was low, but rather it was because the amount of Yi Xing Oceans Cultivators that he had faced till now was simply astonishinglyrge. As such he had basically not taken into ount anything else. To put it bluntly, his cultivation was still too low. At present this Kong Peng Peng had apparently found some discrepancies in his identity, if he continued to lie, and once they found out, then it would be a dead end for him. He hastily cupped his fist respectfully and said, I dare not conceal anything from Senior Kong. This junior hade here through a merchant ship, and was originally going to join the army at Pu Bu Ind. I did not expect that the merchant ship that was near this ind would suddenly find itself in the midst of a war, as such this junior could only escape to this ind. But because I did not have an identity of the Jia Continents cultivator soldier, I did not dare to fight,ter I found Zhuo Yi dead, and as such borrowed Second Lieutenant Zhuo Yis uniform to wear. This one only wanted to help the Jia Continents cultivator army in its fight. Ning Cheng did not speak with the tone of an army cultivator here, but rather spoke with a tone of an ordinary cultivator. Otherwise he would not have imed to be a junior, if this Kong Peng Peng really did want to take him down, then he was simply unable to resist. Kong Peng Peng did not know whether to believe Ning Chengs words or not, but still nodded and said, You are very good, with the power of just a single person you were able to reverse the situation of the war, moreover by the virtue of your Axe Intent you could leap over and kill a Profound Congealing Cultivator, your Golden Axe Shadow should be something that you haveprehended in the Angry Axe Valley, right? Ning Cheng quickly replied, Thats right, moreover my magic weapon was just able to restrain that mans Red Cloud g. Truthfully that win waspletely by fluke. If the other party was not intended on running away, then I would not have necessarily won. Looking at this Kong Peng Pengs expression, how could he not know what he was thinking? He was afraid that this Kong Peng Peng would try to grab him to thoroughly question him on how an Essence Building Cultivator was able to kill a Profound Congealing Cultivator, and as such quickly took the initiative to exin it to him. Do you still want to join the cultivator army? Kong Peng Peng looked at Ning Cheng with a very appreciative look, as Ning Cheng disyed very clearly what he himself was thinking a moment ago. Although he did not know what to think of it, but still when he thought about how Ning Chengs Axe Intent could indeed kill a Profound Congealing Cultivator, he did not pursue the things that Ning Cheng was worried about. I still want to join the Jia Continents cultivator army. Ning Cheng spoke without any hesitation, regardless of what Kong Peng Peng thought, for him to join the cultivator army would certainly be not wrong. Kong Peng Peng nodded, Do you want to join the cultivator army for its cultivation practice? Or do you want to obtain more resources for your cultivation practice? I am a rogue cultivator, as such am without sufficient cultivation resources, trying to advance would be extremely hard for me. It was only because I had encountered a number of good fortunes before, that I was able to advance to this level in the Essence Building Realm, but then again good fortune, after all, does note very often. Moreover, my Spiritual Root qualifications is also not good, as such to advance to a higher level, the only way for me would be to join the cultivator army. Ning Cheng replied honestly, he knew that he could not be realistic and practical at the same time. Moreover, with this kind of reason, it would also justify his past perfectly. Kong Peng Peng gave an En sound, before hesitating for a moment and saying, The Yi Cheng Battalion has been annihted, and since you want to continue with your thoughts to join the cultivator army, so if you want do you want to join my Yi Zheng Battalion? Moreover, under my wing you will have the feeling of an executive officer, moreover you will also be able to enjoy many more things. Ning Cheng hurriedly replied with a bit of passion in his voice, I am willing to join the Yi Zheng Battalion, and would definitely bring prestige to the Yi Zheng Battalion. Kong Peng Peng was very satisfied, and did not doubt anything that Ning Cheng spoke, moreover he had also seen Ning Chengs performance before which also showcased his abilities, and as such once again spoke up, If you join the Yi Zheng Battalion with your original identity, it is not possible to establish your position during such an emergency, as such I am not able to promote you directly to a military officer. So for the moment it would be better for you to join the Yi Zheng Battalion with the identity of Zhuo Yi temporarily, after the war ends, I will help you change it back. Wait Wait, let me see what rank I should give to you...... Chapter 0171 – Heaven’s Way Chapter 0171: Heavens Way Senior, I have family in the Hua Continent, I estimate that this disaster from the Yi Xing Ocean will also spread to the Hua Continent, as such I want to make a request to Senior to allow me to go provide some support and assistance to the Hua Continent. Hearing that this Kong Peng Peng wanted to promote Ning Cheng to the status of one of his officers, he immediately interrupted him and spoke the words that he wanted to say. You want to go to the Hua Continent? Kong Peng Peng stared at Ning Cheng and specifically asked that one sentence. Ning Cheng felt that this sentence from him posed no problem to him, so he spoke, Yes, this junior has a wife in Hua Continent, as such am very worried about her. At this time there were a number of Essence Building Cultivators and Profound Congealing Cultivators who hade to greet them, but Kong Peng Peng simply told them to clean up the battlefield, then deliberately sat down in front of Ning Cheng on his warship, while simultaneously also motioning Ning Cheng to sit down and spoke, Later when we are in the cultivator barracks, dont call me Senior, it would be better if you can get rid of that habit, directly calling me as Commander is enough. Yes, General Kong. Ning Cheng wouldnt really address him as Commander, since the others addressed him as General, then it simply showed that this term General sounded better. Kong Peng Peng simply nodded and continued, At the moment for you to go to the Hua Continent, I estimate it would not serve any useful purpose...... Why? Ning Cheng was surprised for a moment, andpletely forgot that the person in front of him had a cultivation level that waspletely higher than his own. Kong Peng Peng spoke with a sigh, The Yi Xing Oceans cultivators haveunched an all-out offensive attack. As such even the Jia Continent of the 9 Continents Army was almost on the verge of giving up, not to mention the Hua Continent. So I guess that even if the Hua Continent did not fall, its situation at this moment would be extremely perilous. Even if you used this ship that you seized, a Top Tier ck-Silver Warship at that, it would still take you nearly half a months time to reach there, by that time, it would already be toote. [TL Note C Ok, so the author is apparently a great graphic designer too and has uploaded a pic of the ck-Silver Warship he designed himself and has repeatedly mentioned it in the authorments, but the problem is I cant find the damnable pic even after searchicg for a full hour. So if any of you readers do find the pic, then pleasement it or mail us. Meanwhile I will continue to search for the pic.] Ning Cheng suddenly stood up, as he clenched his fists tightly as he felt his entire body tremble. If the Hua Continent fell, then what about Luofei? Where would Luofei go? Kong Peng Peng pat Ning Chengs shoulder, signalling Ning Cheng to sit down again. As he spoke with some reason, A real man can still live without a wife, although the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators are leading this battle, but they would soon reach apromise. But at this moment Ning Cheng was terribly upset, as he bowed and spoke, General Kong, I have to go to the Hua Continent, otherwise I can never feel at ease in my heart even for a moment. Kong Peng Peng also did not continue to persuade Ning Cheng, he pondered for a moment and said, I very much appreciate your sentiments, I believe that you definitely have the ability to take up the affairs of my Yi Zheng Battalion. Moreover, since you are now one of my people, there are some things that I have to say to you. Ning Cheng forced himself to settle down as he spoke, General, please speak freely. Kong Peng Peng spoke, Do you know the reason why the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators want to attack the 9 Continents regardless of the casualties they have to suffer? Ning Cheng shook his head absentmindedly, as although he knew bits and pieces of it but he really did not have a clear picture about why they would do such a thing. Since it seemed that Ning Cheng himself was not clear on it, so Kong Peng Peng waited for Ning Cheng and did not reply straight away, but after seeing Ning Chengs response, he finally spoke up, Not many cultivators know that the Yi Xing Maind actually has ten continents. Ning Cheng finally answered what he knew about, he had heard about this from Cang Shuo, that there was a 10th Continent in the Yi Xing Ocean. Moreover, this 10th continent was the true cultivation holynd, where there were even existences beyond even the Crucible Transformation Realm. [TL Note C For those confused about cultivation realms C Qi Gathering -> True Condensation -> Essence Building -> Profound Congealing -> Profound Core -> Soul Essence -> Soul Sculpting -> Sea Opening -> Crucible Transformation] For Ning Cheng to know that the Yi Xing Maind actuallyprised of 10 Continents, Kong Peng Peng was not surprised, as most of the Jia Continents military cultivators knew about this fact. Moreover, many of them even knew that these Yi Xing Oceans cultivators were the descendants that were left behind by the people trying to reach the Tenth Continent in the Yi Xing Ocean. The 10th Continent that is lying across the Yi Xing Ocean is called the Tian Continent, this continent is truly the gathering ce of the supreme powers. In the 3 Advanced Level Continents of the Yi Xing Maind, a Crucible Transformation Cultivator is already considered as a peak existence, but in the Tian Continent, a Crucible Transformation Cultivator is not the peak, as there is even a higher presence there than the Crucible Transformation Realm. [TL Note C This Tian Continent can also be interpreted as Heaven Continent, as the character also represents Heaven. I chose to keep it as Tian Continent just to keep it in sync with the names of the other continents.] At this point, Kong Peng Peng suddenly asked, Zhuo Yi, what do you think is the peak of cultivation in the Yi Xing Maind, do you know what kind of realm it is? When Ning Cheng heard this, his heart beat suddenly elerated. He and Taishu Shi had also talked about this kind of thing. He had heard that the ancestor of Taishu Shi had arrived here at the Yi Xing Maind after tearing open an entrance to this ne. Didnt Kong Peng Pengs words imply that once a persons cultivation reached the highest point, then they could rip open the nes boundary, and as such he would have the opportunity to return to Earth? Although excited, Ning Cheng choked back the excitement, as he spoke in a respectful tone, General Kong. My real name is Ning Cheng. I dont know the ultimate heights of cultivation, but do I want to know about it. Kong Peng Peng gave a smile as he spoke, I can see that you really want to know about it, as your heart rate has already shown what you are thinking. I heard that a long time ago, once someone cultivated to the extreme in the Yi Xing Maind, they can then leave this ne, and continue on to a more Advanced Level ne, to pursue their Dao. But after all, it is only thought of as a legend, because there was nobody ever that could leave this world to go to another world. But then there are also the cultivators in the Tian Continent in the Yi Xing Ocean, they proved that this thing was definitely not a legend, but rather the real thing. Tearing through the worlds boundary? Ning Cheng asked with some tension in his voice, if it really was tearing through the worlds boundary, then he would very much like to know how high he had to cultivate to achieve that. ording to what he knew about cultivation, the Crucible Transformation Realm was the highest realm that he knew of, but at the moment he knew that there was no way to attain such a level. Kong Peng Peng shook his head and said, It should not be tearing through the worlds boundary, but then again the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators are also not clear about this, its just that in the endless heavens, the Yi Xing Maind is just a broken and iplete corner in the remotest parts of it. In the endless heavens, there are many worlds ands, moreover the level ofprehension of those worlds are much much better than that of the Yi Xing Maind. Then what you say is that the same cultivation of Essence Building Realm, is not only same for the cultivators of the Yi Xing Maind, but also for the others throughout? Ning Cheng asked with some doubts. Although different paths of cultivation lead to the same goal, but the real strength is what separates everyone, after the Yi Xing Maind was broken, the ranks of the cultivation had also evolved in ordance to the brokenws of the Heaven and Earth here, as such cultivators of the same level being different in strength from each other was a normal and natural event. Even in the 9 continents of the Yi Xing Maind, they all have dissimrities, because of the brokenws of the Heaven and Earth here, the Spiritual Qi cultivation and cultivation methods of the Lower Levelled Continents are far below that of the Intermediate Level or Advanced Level Continents, let alone the other Continent? Kong Peng Peng spoke with a sigh, as if he himself was not very clear about this. Ning Cheng hade from Earth, so even if he cultivated here for a few more years, where would he hear these kinds of things. Out of all the words spoken by Kong Peng Peng, the most that he was concerned about was the Tian Continent and finding someone from the Yi Xing Maind to help him go to a higher ne. After listening to Kong Peng Peng, he once again quickly asked, Then does it stand to reason that someone from the Tian Continent had managed to leave the Yi Xing Maind? Kong Peng Pengs tone immediately became solemn as he spoke, The reason why I spoke to you about these things, is that although the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators had sneak attacked the cultivator army of the 9 Continents on the Maind, but it is because the war should soon calm down, at least it would calm down temporarily. I ask General to dispel these doubts. Ning Cheng quickly spoke up once again. Kong Peng Pengs tone became somewhat earnest, ording to thetest news, the Tian Continents Heavens Way has once again opened...... What is Heavens Way? Ning Cheng could not help but ask this question. After the Yi Xing Maind was broken up, thews of the Heaven and Earth here also ended up broken and hence were left iplete, and we were unable to take advantage of the iplete Heaven and Earths Laws to get out of the Yi Xing Maind. But in Tian Continent, there is a path called the Heavens Way, when a cultivators cultivation level reaches a certain threshold, they would be able to pass through this Heavens Way toe out of the Yi Xing Maind, and go to a ce where the Spiritual Qi and other cultivation resources are much richer than here, moreover the main motivation for them is in order to search for a higher understanding of their Dao. As Kong Peng Peng spoke, his tone became even more excited. It was apparent that he himself wanted to go onto the Heavens Way. Heavens Way...... Ning Cheng kept repeating those words to himself, as he set Heavens Way as his goal now. Kong Peng Peng gave a chuckle, Do not think that the Heavens Way is something good, although theoretically after reaching a certain level in ones cultivation, anyone could go onto the Heavens Way, but if one could truly pass through it or not, no one knows about it. Because since ancient times no one has ever been able toe back. It is because after entering the Heavens Way, all the cultivators that entered had disappeared, and as such no one knows whether they managed to pass through the Heavens Way or not. Because of which no one knows whether the Heavens Way is real, or if it is just a legend. Then how is one able to cross the Heavens Way? When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you wille to understand about this. But it is because the Tian Continent has such a thing called the Heavens Way that it is called the Tian Continent. The Heavens Way has been shut for countless years, and had only recently opened. As such all those cultivators who were trapped in their cultivation for many years, have flocked to the Heavens Way, so as to find a way out. The Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army conducting arge scale attack on the maind of the 9 continents, is also because of the Heavens Way. Ning Cheng more and more could not understand and asked, General Kong, the Heavens Way is in the Tian Continent, as such the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators should be flocking towards the Tian Continent like fishes, why would they attack the 9 Continents? Go to the Tian Continent? Kong Peng Peng sneered, The distance between the Tian Continent and the inds of the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators is extremely huge, even if they travel for many years they would not be able to reach there. The reason they want toe to the 9 Continent, is because our Le Continent also has a Heavens Way...... Seeing the surprised look on Ning Cheng, Kong Peng Peng exined, The Le Continents Heavens Way had always existed, but with respect to the Tian Continents Heavens Way, the Le Continents Heavens Way is called a Pseudo-Heavens Way. Because after one goes inside the Le Continents Heavens Way, they can alsoe out, moreover only after a cultivator advances to the Essence Building Realm, till before they have not yet formed their Soul Essence, only they are allowed to enter. In other words, only Essence Building Realm, Profound Congealing Realm and Profound Core Realm cultivators can go in. This Heavens Way in addition to the called as Pseudo-Heavens Way, is also at times referred to as Laws Way. When the Yi Xing Maind broke apart, other than the Tian Continent having enough cultivation resources, even the Heaven and Earth Laws were moreplete than the Laws in the remaining 9 Continents, as such if any cultivator wanted to cultivate above the Sea Opening Realm here, then they all have to go through this Laws Way. Only after a cultivator advances to the Essence Building Realm, can they start toprehend and cultivate the ipletews inside of this Laws Way, in order to improve upon the Dao of their cultivation. Only by going through this Laws Way, and gaining a near perfect understanding, will it be possible to aim for an even higher realm. As more and more cultivators grew up on the inds, and although the ocean was rich in resources, but it is not as abundant as the inds. With the resources consumed for cultivation, after the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators advanced to the Soul Essence Realm, it would be more and more difficult for them to advance. The reason why they were cutting off all their means of retreat, is just because they also want to share the Laws Way, in other words they want to let the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators to tread on the Laws Way. Ning Cheng then came to understand, Then those cultivators with high cultivation levels in the Tian Continent would be moving towards the real Heavens Way, which is the reason the high levelled cultivators of the Yi Xing Ocean are afraid that after they leave the Yi Xing Ocean, there would be no sessors of them left in the Yi Xing Ocean, as such they want to rush to cultivate their talented sessors. Thus for these people to want to rush to cultivate their talented sessors to a higher level, it is necessary for them to enter the Laws Way. Kong Peng Peng nodded with appreciation to the points stated by Ning Cheng, You really are smart, it indeed is like you spoke, the reason why the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators suddenly started their war at this time, is in order to reach an agreement with the cultivators of the 9 Continents. They want it such that every time the Laws Way is opened, a portion of their people could also enter it. Ning Cheng suddenly thought of something, although he had attained some meritorious deeds in this war, but in the end he was only an ordinary Essence Building Cultivator. While Kong Peng Peng was a Soul Essence Cultivator, even if he appreciated him, there was no need for him to exin these things in detail, right? Chapter 0172 – 5 Star Junior Commander Chapter 0172: 5 Star Junior Commander After Kong Peng Peng praised Ning Cheng, his tone suddenly changed, bing more serious, he once again spoke, Ning Cheng, do you want to go further down the path of cultivation, such as advancing to the Profound Core Realm or even going higher than the Profound Core Realm. Ning Cheng spoke in an affirmative way, Of course I want to go further, but with my qualification...... Kong Peng Peng stood up, and looked in a distance towards the Yi Xing Ocean, before he once again spoke with the same serious tone, However far your heart wants to go is however far you can go. Although you may see the Yi Xing Ocean as being boundless, but the fact is, there are still some people who can cross the Yi Xing Ocean. But throughout the ancient times till the modern times, even if there were many powerful people who could aplish this, do you think that all of them had heaven defying qualifications? No, at least for some of them it is not true. Do you know about the Wu Nian Academys Academy Head, Cheng Yishui? He has a Three Line Hybrid Spiritual Root, but at the same time he also has the cultivation of the mighty 9th Level of Crucible Transformation Realm today. Speaking till here Kong Peng Peng finally took back his vision, as he once again stared at Ning Cheng and said, Dont ask me how a person with a Three Line Hybrid Spiritual Root could cultivate till the 9th Level of the Crucible Transformation Realm, as even I do not have a definite answer. But I can tell you this, even if one had a Hybrid Type Spiritual Root, as long as one had the appropriate opportunities, then they can definitely have the chance to make it to the top. But in this world, there would not be any opportunity without any reason o the appropriate risk, for a person to have the chance of acquiring an opportunity they should first have the ambition for it, otherwise they should not even dare to even think about such a thing. Its is up to you, if you want to dare and think about it. Ning Cheng certainly did not think that he would not be able to tread farther, but his words deliberately pointed towards the fact that his Spiritual Root was not good. After hearing Kong Peng Pengs words, he immediately thought about that purple robed woman from the Wu Nian Academy, and could not help by ask, General Kong, I heard people say that the Wu Nian Academy only recruit disciples with the best qualifications, even if one had slightly poor qualifications, they would not take them. Since Cheng Yishuis qualifications are not good at all, then why would he try to select his disciples in such a manner? At this moment Ning Cheng did not have any good will towards the Wu Nian Academy, as such he directly called out Cheng Yishui by his name, without showing even half a shred of respect towards him. When Kong Peng Peng heard Ning Cheng call out about the Wu Nian Academy without even half a shred of respect, he simplyughed out loud and said, Your qualifications are poor, no wonder you do not like the Wu Nian Academy. Although the qualifications of the Academy Head are poor, it is precisely because he has poor qualification that he knows how hard it is to be able to advance. Moreover, the cultivation resources required to advance further and further down the road of cultivation would simply be more and more rming. Not every person with poor qualifications has a strong perseverance, moreover not everyone can have incredible opportunities. As the Master of such an Academy, he is definitely qualified to select good people to join the Wu Nian Academy, that much is indisputable. At this time Ning Cheng finally deeply agreed with the words of Kong Peng Peng, if all of the Academies and Sects epted people like him, then just with the cultivation resources required for those people to cultivate, that Sect or Academy would not exist anymore or at least exist for a long time. Even if the consumption was light, it would still lead to the copse of the Academy or Sect within a short time. General Kong, do you have a way to obtain the quota to enter the Laws Way? Ning Cheng spected that for Kong Peng Peng to speak to him about the Heavens Way, it would certainly not be without any reason. Kong Peng Peng spoke in a very satisfied manner, When wise men speak it indeed is simple, it is because there is a restriction on the quota for the number of people that can enter the Laws Way, that had led to the current war between Yi Xing Oceans cultivators and the cultivator army of the 9 Continents. A person can only enter the Laws Way just a single time in a decade, moreover the number of people that can enter at a time is only a thousand. For a rogue cultivator, it is simply impossible to go in. To enter the Laws Way, for them there is a way to enter it in order to cultivate, that is it is necessary for them to join an Academy or Sect. Either that or join the cultivator army. Moreover, some of the Essence Building Cultivators also join the cultivator army for the sole aim of entering Laws Way. Since I am a 6 Star General, I can rmend a person to enter. Ning Cheng finally came to understand in his heart, as he once again asked, General Kong, do you want to rmend me to enter the Laws Way? Thats right, I saw you with the cultivation of just Essence Building Realm y a Profound Congealing Cultivator. I will not ask you what kind of things you encountered to reach this level, but I also know that you are not as simple as you look. Just from our conversation, I can see that your ability toprehend things is really good. If you like it, then I really want to rmend your name to enter the Laws Way. Moreover, even your ability is worthy of me doing such a thing, however....... Kong Peng Peng paused for a moment before continuing, After you enter the Laws Way, although the probability is extremely low, it is something even less than 30% for a cultivator to survive there, as once a cultivator entered the Laws Way, they may not be able toe out from there even after several hundreds of years, but then again some of them simply stay inside forever. Although I hope that you represent me in the Laws Way, but it is only if you are willing, I will not force you into it in anyway. It is as I said before, however far your heart goes is however far you can go. If you do not want to adopt this kind of approach, then just treat it as if I did not say anything. Ning Cheng bowed and gave a salute before saying, I would like to enter the Laws Way, even if there is less than 30% chance of survival, I will definitely be within those people alive. There are just three things that I want to ask of General Kong. When he heard that Ning Cheng was willing to enter the Laws Way, Kong Peng Peng smiled and spoke, Even if you had said no to it, I had already decided to give you the title of a 5 Star Junior Commander of the army. Under me, there are only four people that are 5 Star Junior Commanders. As long as you cane out of the Laws Way, you will understand about how correct your decision that you took right now would be. Thank you, General for showing such a deep affection. Ning Cheng quickly thanked him, he also would not just politely say that he did not want such a position. For his exploits, for him to advance from the rank of 2-Star Second Lieutenant to 5-Star Junior Commander would also not be considered too odd. However, he was not too clingy to this 5-Star Junior Commander title, as he did not intend to stay long in the cultivator army. After finishing saying his thanks, Ning Cheng then went on to say, The first thing is for me to listen to Generals request for entering the Laws Way. There must be something that I can do, please General you can justmand me, as long as it is possible for me, then this Ning Cheng would definitely do his best and go all out. Kong Peng Peng could see that Ning Cheng was even more intelligent than he had thought him out to be and as such he felt increasingly appreciative of him as he spoke, Thats right, if you cane out of the Laws Way, then as your referrer, I can be awarded with a Void Soul Pill. I have been stuck at the Late Stages of the Soul Essence Realm for many years now, as such without the Void Soul Pill, wanting to breakthrough to the Soul Sculpting Realm would simply not be possible. But thats another matter, the most important thing, is that I hope you can find the True Spirit Nectar Wash on the inside of the Laws Way. Moreover, I do not want too much of it, as long as you can give me just three drops of it, it would be all right. What is this thing? I have never heard of this kind of Spiritual Medicine? Ning Cheng asked with some doubts. He had read the basics of Alchemy from that jade piece, that jade piece contained innumerable amounts of information on the various Spiritual Grasses, as such it could be said that there was not many Spiritual Grasses and Spiritual Medicines that he did not know about, but he had never heard about the True Spirit Nectar Wash. The True Spirit Nectar Wash, strictly speaking, is not a Spiritual Medicine, but then again it belongs to the category of Spiritual Medicine. This is simply because this thing does not have any rank or grade, its only effect is to allow a cultivator to gain some enlightenment regarding the Laws, and allows them to cultivate more smoothly, with a much bigger potential. Moreover, the reason for a cultivator to enter the Laws Way is also something simr, moreover this True Spirit Nectar Wash is not only suitable for cultivators under the Soul Essence Realm, but rather is useful for all cultivators. Kong Peng Peng eagerly looked at Ning Cheng and said, I have never entered the Laws Way, as such have never had the opportunity to practice cultivation inside. At the moment, I have a bit of hesitation towards the correct direction of my Dao. If I had the True Spirit Nectar Wash, then my path will not be limited to only the Soul Essence Realm. But the True Spirit Nectar Wash is also something priceless, and is only avable inside the Laws Way. Since the Laws Way is about to open, I still could not find any suitable person to send in before, but now I think that you are the most suitable. If you want to, then can you please help me find just three drops of the True Spirit Nectar Wash. This for me is the most important thing, it is even more important than the Void Soul Pill. Ning Cheng finally understood, but on the contrary felt relieved in his heart. What he was afraid was that Kong Peng Peng would not tell him his request. If it was only to appreciate him, that he was so good to him, it would have made him somewhat worried. Please rest assure General, as long as I can get the True Spirit Nectar Wash, I will surely be able to bring it out to give it to General Kong. Aftering to understand the other party, Ning Cheng immediately dered. Kong Peng Pengughed and said, Well, I believe you. You say, what are the other two requirements? This was tantamount to forming a cooperation between them, as such Ning Cheng no longer remained polite, I and a person from the Celestial Globe Academy with the surname Kang who is a Soul Essence Cultivator have some differences between us, I am afraid that at the time I enter the Laws Way, this guy will definitely find some kind of trouble for me. In addition to that, I and the Red Heaven 7 Star Academy also have some disagreements with each other, since in the Angry Axe Valley, I had killed a few disciples of the Red Heaven Academy. Kong Peng Peng scratched his head in some distress, You can really cause trouble, aah, youre just a single person yet you ended up provoking two 7 Star Academies. But it does not matter, my 9 Continents cultivator army does not fear any Academy, moreover you are also a 5 Star Junior Commander of the 9 Continents cultivator army. As long as you are not alone when intercepted by them, then no matter how many these guys send, they would not dare to take on you. Thank you, General, then thest thing that I request you is that I have to make a trip to the Hua Continent, if the Laws Way is going to open in a short time, then I may not be able to participate. Ning Cheng spoke practically, for him to give up going to the Hua Continent, it was absolutely impossible. Kong Peng Peng thought for a moment and said, Do not worry yourself over it, there is still a year for the Laws Way to open. You also have the top quality ck Silver Warship, as such you can easily arrive there within 20 days. I can also give you a wind boost, so that you would be able to arrive at Hua Continent even more quickly, at most you would arrive at the Hua Continent within 10 days. Ning Cheng was overjoyed, he was already anxious to fly to the Hua Continent, now that he heard that it would only take less than 10 days, it simply was the best news that he had heard recently. Kong Peng Peng handed Ning Cheng a Talisman, then he took out a new set of uniforms, as he engraved the name Zhuo Yi on the uniforms badge, before he handed it to Ning Cheng and said, This is your new uniform, you can put it on. For now, you would be called Zhuo Yi, otherwise if you give your name to the Communication Pearl, it would result in a misunderstanding. Ning Cheng took off the original Zhou Yis uniform, and put it inside a wooden box before storing it into his Storage Bag, then in the presence of Kong Peng Peng he immediately donned the new set of uniforms. The badge on the new uniform had been reced with a blue one, which also had five stars carved onto it. Seeing Ning Cheng carefully put away the old uniform, Kong Peng Peng nodded with satisfaction, After you take care of things at your end in the Hua Continent, you must as soon as possiblee to the Pu Bu Ind, I will meet you at Pu Bu Ind. Ning Cheng asked puzzlingly, After the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators attacked, is the Pu Bu Ind still in our hands? Kong Peng Peng spoke with disdain, For these monkeys from the Yi Xing Ocean, not to mention taking over Pu Bu Ind, even if by some miracle they were able to take it, it would finally be returned to the cultivator army of the 9 Continents. You do not have to be worried about this, you can juste there whenever you want. I can see that you are quite rich, as such I will not give you any Spirit Stones. You can take this moment to leave, I want to tidy up this battlefield once and for all. Ning Cheng face turned slightly red, he did not know that Kong Peng Peng had seen him wantonly use the Spirit Stones on the warship, or the fact that he had not used a Storage Ring despite possessing one. Chapter 0173 – Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings Chapter 0173: Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings Yang Honghuo, I am going to the Hua Continent, what do you want to do? As Ning Cheng and Kong Peng Pengs conversation ended, he was already raring to go. But since he also had a good impression of Yang Honghuo, so if Yang Honghuo was willing toe to the Hua Continent, then he would not mind it. Yang Honghuo gave a respectful military salute to Ning Cheng and spoke out loud, I wish to join the Yi Zheng Battalion, and be a soldier under Junior Commander Ning, requesting Junior Commander Ning to grant this permission. Kong Peng Peng spoke from the side, Ning Cheng, you are already a 5 Star Junior Commander, you can make the decision for this kind of thing. Seeing Yang Honghuos ability in handling the warship, he had ended up appreciating him even more, now that he also heard from Kong Peng Peng, he immediately replied, I agree with Yang Honghuo being a soldier under me, but I want to help Yang Honghuo to be promoted to a 2 Star Second Lieutenant, but I do not know how to arrange for it. Kong Peng Peng simplyughed and said, You already have this power, but it seems you still cant do it, so be it, let me help you with this favour, so that at least when the timees you could at least work a bit with all your heart. As Kong Peng Peng spoke, he casually helped Yang Honghuo rece his shoulder badge, now his shoulder badge had changed from the red 1 Star one to an orange 2 Star one. Yang Honghuo was simply overjoyed, as he hastened to pay his thanks to Ning Cheng and Kong Peng Peng, while in his heart he felt that his decision was the best one that he had taken till now. He had been stuck at the rank of 1 Star for several years till today, but now in just half a day he had advanced from the rank of 1 Star to the rank of 2 Star. Moreover, he also had a good impression of Ning Cheng and the 6 Star General Kong Peng Peng, at least the way they talked and acted were very decisive, and did not beat around the bush or minced their words. ...... Saying their goodbyes to Kong Peng Peng, Yang Honghuo controlled the warship and chose a particr direction, as they rapidly flew towards the Hua Continent. Kong Peng Peng had given Ning Cheng a Wind Talisman which he attached to the back of the ck-Silver Warship, which immediately increased the speed of the warship to more than double its previous speed. Yang Honghuo was amazed at the richness disyed by Ning Cheng who was now a 5 Star Junior Commander, to be able to use so many Spirit Stones to drive this ck-Silver Warship, plus even adding such a precious Wind Talisman on to it. Ning Cheng handed over the control of the warship to Yang Honghuo, as he returned to his cabin and took out the Storage Ring of that Yi Xing Oceans Profound Congealing Cultivator that he had killed. It seemed that the background of that Profound Congealing Cultivator was not small. As such he did not know whether this ring in his hands was worth looking forward to or not. Ning Cheng soon refined the Profound Congealing Cultivators ring. But when Ning Cheng saw the mountains of various materials inside, he almost could not believe that this ring belonged to a Profound Congealing Cultivator. Not to mention mountains of Spiritual Grasses, but there were also mountains of materials that can be used for crafting Artefacts. Rtively speaking, those hundreds of thousands of High Grade Spirit Stones inside could not even bepared in value to these other things. In the end who exactly was that man? How could he collect so many materials? Or likewise, how did hee by so many materials? Going by his appearance, it seems that he did not pursue Alchemy, or Crafting or creating Talismans, as such how could he deal with so many of these materials? Taking the time to appreciate those things, Ning Cheng was full of happiness as he finally put the ring away, but he did not check each and everything inside. Currently the most important thing to him was the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves. He must, within the shortest possible time, refine the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves. This kind of stuff, the sooner he could refine it, the better it would be. Yang Honghuo was fully concentrated on controlling the warship, as such he rarely had the opportunity toe to the back of the ck-Silver Warship, but for him to be able to operate this warship, he was actually even more excited than Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng first arranged an Istion Array Formation, before putting the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves in the centre of it to start the refining process. The Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves was a natural treasure, as such it was definitely a great thing. But once it was leaked, then the disclosure would cause countless people to fight over it. As the time shed by, Yang Honghuos warship met several of Yi Xing Oceans cultivators on its way, but because the warship was too fast, andbined with the fact that they were close to the Lower Levelled Continents, as such the cultivation of the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators they encountered were simply too low. It was not that there was nothing to stop them, but rather they were simply toote to stop them. On the eighth day, Ning Cheng, who had his eyes closed as he continued to refine the pair of Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves, suddenly opened his eyes. The pair of pale glowing leaves that were the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves in his hands had disappeared. But then Ning Cheng stood up with joy, with his Spiritual Consciousness he could clearly see that on his back there were two almost invisible pale golden shadow marks. A one of a kind feeling that he could stretch out his wings anytime surged out from his heart, as he immediately realized that he had finallypleted the refining process of the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves. As a thought shed through Ning Chengs mind, a pair of milky white wings appeared on his back, which was the end product of refining the pair of Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves. Moreover, there was also a touch of golden glow at the edge of the wings, which made Ning Cheng very anxious to immediately fly out to try out this refined product from the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves. He subconsciously touched the wings on his back, as a powerful yet gentle wind swept out while simultaneously he felt an extremely soft feeling from his hand. But Ning Cheng forcibly suppressed his surprise and delight in his heart, in this brutal Yi Xing Maind, it was just another tool for him. With a pair of wings, it could absolutely add anotheryer of protection for his life. Ning Cheng knew that after refining the mature Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Leaves, under the nourishment of his True Essence, it could definitely advance along with him, as such he was looking forward to what extent that his Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Wings could grow. Withdrawing the Twin Radiant Heavenly Cloud Wings, Ning Cheng finally removed the Istion Array Formation. As he prepared to examine the heap of materials in detail from the ring and separate it into two heaps as to what was precious and what was not. But hearing the news from Yang Honghuo, Ning Cheng put away those things, just as he got out, he could hear Yang Honghuo who was at the head of the warship speak, Junior Commander Ning, we are close to the Hua Continent, the warships Monitoring Array Formation shows that the Hua Continents cultivator army and the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army are in the middle of a fierce battle. Do we also participate in this fight, or do you want to go around them? Ning Cheng in his heart was feeling very happy, since the Hua Continents cultivator army and the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army were still fighting, it indicated that the Hua Continent may still be safe and sound. Rush through them, ready the Spirit Stone Cannon and let them have a taste of a few of our cannon rounds. Ning Cheng said without hesitation, now that he had arrived, he would definitely seek out these people from the Yi Xing Ocean and kill them. Yang Honghuo was just waiting for Ning Cheng to speak these same exact words, and now that Ning Cheng had agreed, he immediately controlled the warship, directly rushing into the battlefield. This Top Tier ck-Silver Warship had an extremely fast speed, as such only when it hurtled past the outer periphery of the battlefield, it was only then that the cultivators fighting each finally became aware of them. But Yang Honghuo did not wait for these soldiers to react, as he immediately fired the Spirit Stone Cannon that he had already loaded before, spitting out an extremely bright white light that could blind ones eye. Boom Boom Boom...... Yang Honghuo continued to fire the cannon, and as the white light exploded out it immediately created a violent whirlpool, which directly swallowed one or two thousands of Yi Xing Oceans cultivators every single time. After sting out a few times, the ck-Silver Warship finally drew near, as Ning Cheng once again started to use his Golden Great Axe, as he chopped out with his Axe Line. The fury from the Spirit Stone Cannon had still notpletely subsided, when a twisted and distorting golden coloured Axe Line burst out from thin air. Countless Yi Xing Oceans cultivators under the Killing Intent of this golden coloured Axe Line, simply could not even resist and died within seconds. Originally the battlefield was in a restless stalemate, moreover the warships fighting in these Lower Levelled Battlefield were also low levelled, moreover most of them were also flying around as if in great confusion. But this mess soon became just one sided, as the Hua Continents cultivator army finally came to understand that someone was providing them the vital support that they desperately needed, while the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army was copsing, and were rapidly retreating. The size of this battlefield could not even bepared to the one Ning Cheng was in before, moreover even if one added the people on both sides, it did not evene close to a million people. Ning Cheng had only thrown out a few Axe Lines, plus with the power of the Spirit Stone Cannon, the battlefield in just a short time came under the control of the Hua Continents cultivator army. With their dependency gone, these guys from the Yi Xing Ocean really cannot fight back. Yang Honghuo spoke in an unhappy tone. Ning Cheng just smiled and spoke, There is a Profound Core Cultivator here, if not for the Hua Continent to also have a Profound Core Cultivator here to block him, maybe that guy would have alreadye over here, you just control your warship, and just help me get past to them. Ning Cheng with the help of his Spiritual Consciousness had already noticed the two Profound Core Cultivators fighting with all their strength at a distance, since he had already killed arge number of people, it was already noticed by those two Profound Core Cultivators. The Profound Core Cultivator from the side of the Hua Continent wanted to help Ning Cheng with his Imposing Manner, but even more so the other Profound Core Cultivator from the Yi Xing Ocean wanted toe up and take care of Ning Cheng, but in the end was blocked by the Profound Core Cultivator from the Hua Continent, moreover he was also not someone who he could afford to be careless against. But when the Yi Xing Oceans Profound Core Cultivator saw that Ning Cheng standing on the top of the ck-Silver Warshipe towards them, he no longer dared to fight, as he immediately wanted to escape. But Ning Cheng did not intend to let him get away, if he was any other person, then he would never dare to stop an escaping Profound Core Cultivator. But now that there was also a Profound Core Cultivator to help him out, as such as long as he was able to st out with an attack that would block him even for a short moment, then the other person would be able to take care of him. Nearing this Yi Xing Oceans Profound Core Cultivator, Ning Cheng without even a shred of consideration towards himself, immediately rushed out from the warship, wielding the Golden Great Axe in his hands. Raising it in his hands, immediately a raging tornado formed in front of him, as powerful Killing Intent from his Axe Shadow immediately filled the surroundings with a powerful Killing Force, directly sealing up the retreat of the Profound Core Cultivator. The Profound Core Cultivator from the Yi Xing Ocean who was still fighting instantly understood Ning Chengs scheme, but with his True Essencerge running dry, the only way for him to retreat was to try and counter kill him. But then again dozens of wheels, the size of hands, immediately sealed the other side of this Yi Xing Oceans cultivator. Originally this Yi Xing Oceans Profound Core Cultivator was very panicked in his heart, but when he saw that Ning Cheng was a cultivator with only the cultivation of Essence Building Realm, he did not hesitate anymore and chose to rush towards the side of Ning Cheng, while bringing out his own magic weapon. Bang.... The Golden Axe Killing Intent Tornado immediately collided with the Profound Core Cultivators magic Weapon, immediately Ning Cheng was directly thrown back upside down. Fortunately, Ning Cheng knew that he was not a match to the other side, as such when he had shot out his attack, he was already retreating. As such even though he was thrown back upside down, he only received some minor injuries. But this Profound Core Cultivator after being encroached upon by the strong Killing Intent in the Angry Axe Tornado, was pushed back a few steps. In his heart he was secretly shocked, Ning Cheng was just an Essence Building Cultivator, but his True Essence was still this powerful, moreover he also mastered such a powerful Axe Intent, to the point that he had even forgotten that there was still a Profound Core Cultivator at his back. Dozens of wheels directly struck to the back of the Yi Xing Oceans Profound Core Cultivator, tearing through him, immediately spilling huge volumes of blood, as this Profound Core Cultivator was finally killed by thebined efforts from Ning Cheng and another Profound Core Cultivator. That Profound Core Cultivator very skilfully picked up the Storage Ring left behind, as he arrived in front of Ning Cheng on his ck-Silver Warship while simultaneously cupping his fists and spoke, Hua Continents Falling Star Academys Man Rang greets Junior Commander Zhuo, many thanks to Junior Commander for his timely rescue. Man Rang was not entirely a person from the Cultivator Army, and was from the Falling Star Academy. But when the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators invaded the Hua Continent, he not only took part in the war, but also was the leader from their side. So even though he was not considered as a member of the Hua Continents cultivator army, he still had the rank of 4 Star Senior Marquis in the army. But even though Man Rangs cultivation was higher than Ning Chengs, he had cupped his fist towards him in gratitude from the bottom of his heart, mainly because Ning Cheng had extended a helping hand at a critical juncture. As to the difference of a rank between him and Ning Cheng, since they were not in the Army Barracks at the moment, he was simply not much attentive towards it. But he still found it strange in his heart, that Ning Cheng with such a young age was already a 5 Star Junior Commander. Chapter 0174 – Counterattacking The Hua Continent Chapter 0174: Counterattacking The Hua Continent Ning Cheng, at the moment, was in a good mood, since the Falling Star Academy was here, that meant that the rest of the Academies were also still safe. He smiled and spoke, I seemed to have heard about you from Meng Yujing from the Falling Star Academy, you should be the Dean Man of the Falling Star Academy, right? Ning Cheng had originally heard of the name Dean Man when he had tracked Meng Yujing, as such he presumed that the man in front of him was the same Man Rang. You know Meng Yujing, aah thats great. I am the Vice Dean of the Falling Star Academy, have youe to the Hua Continent before? When Man Rang heard Ning Cheng that he knew him, moreover he knew him through Meng Yujing, he immediately became a lot more cordial and warm towards him. I was one of the people to go to the Angry Axe Valley from the Hua Continent, my real name is not Zhuo Yi, but Ning Cheng. Ning Chengughed and spoke. Although he knew Meng Yujing, but they did not have any kind of friendliness between them. At this time, the only reason he deliberately mentioned Meng Yujings name, was just to draw close to Man Rang, and then inquire about the news that he wanted to ask. When Man Rang heard the name Ning Cheng, he was immediately shocked and asked, You are the Ning Cheng who took the first ce in the Tournament of the 5 Star Academies? God Wind Academys Ning Cheng? Moreover, you are also impersonating a Military Officer? Although Man Rang had not seen Ning Chengs face, but he was no stranger to the name Ning Cheng, but when he again thought that Ning Cheng was impersonating a Military Officer, a high ranking officer at that, his face immediately changed. Since he was also a cultivator from the 9 Continents cultivator army, so he was well aware that if a person was caught impersonating a Military Officer, it was deemed to be grave offence and could even be executed on the spot. Yang Honghuo quickly spoke up, It was because Junior Commander Ning was directly appointed by General Kong on the spot, moreover because of the emergency situation created by the Yi Xing Oceans War, General Kong temporarily allowed him to use the identity of Second Lieutenant Zhuo, moreover he also helped him raise his rank to that of Junior Commander, Dean Man you do not need to worry about this. So it was that way. Man Rang spoke in a relieved tone. Ning Cheng took the opportunity and spoke, Dean Man, you know that I am from the God Wind Academy and as such I havee back to pay a visit to the God Wind Academy. Thanks to Dean Man and the Hua Continents cultivator army for blocking the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army here. Otherwise if these Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army entered the Hua Continent, then...... Speaking till here Ning Cheng suddenly stopped himself from speaking anymore, he felt that something was not right after seeing Man Rangs expression, moreover there was even a look of anger on him. Ning Cheng quickly asked, Dean Man, did something happen on the Hua Continent? s, the Hua Continent, a few days ago, had already been upied by the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators. Moreover, several of the countries could not escape the onught brought along by those beasts from the Yi Xing Ocean, who were all the while burning and looting to their hearts content. There are also monstrous beasts roaming around in all four directions swallowing up ordinary people ...... WHAT? Ning Cheng did not even wait for Man Rang to finish, before his face immediately became livid, if Hua Continent was currently being upied by the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators, then what would happen to Luofei, where would she even go? Moreover, what about An Yi from the Falling Star Academy? Ning Cheng could no longer maintain the peaceful calm in his voice, and asked in a freezingly cold voice, Since the Hua Continent is upied by the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators, then why is Dean Man still here and not leading the cultivator army to entangle with the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army? The Hua Continents 5 Star Academies, as well as some of the 4 Star Academies have a lot of disciples, these are the future of the Hua Continent. I lead the troops to bring up the rear, as we prepared to send the outstanding disciples to the Intermediate Level Continents. Right, in my Academy there was someone called An Yi that you knew, dont worry she has already been escorted away. Man Rang spoke with a sigh. However, after he finished, he stared with a fervent gaze at Ning Chengs ck-Silver Warship and said, Junior Commander Ning, I can see that your Axe Intent is very strong, whenbined with this ck-Silver Warship, coupled with the cultivators on our side, we would be able to drive out those Yi Xing Oceans cultivators out into the ocean again. Drive them out? No, I will not let them get away that easily. Ning Cheng spoke with a powerful but deadly calm voice that was infused with an extremely terrifying amount of Killing Intent, so much so that even Man Rang felt his soul and body shiver uncontrobly as an iparably cold chill ran down his spine, although he could see that Ning Chengs cultivation was not as high as his, but he realised that when it came to Killing Intent, even he was far off from him. Junior Commander Ning, as long as you are willing to get involved, I am more than willing to cooperate with you to fight against them. Moreover, all the cultivators from the Hua Continent arepletely unified, but the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators and the monstrous beasts that they brought along to fight, they are not as united as us at the moment. But once they join up and unify, then they definitely would be a powerful force in the Hua Continent. Moreover, at present they would also be thinking that we would not have enough power or guts to return and counter-kill them. Man Rangs blood also boiled as he was affected by Ning Chengs powerful Killing Intent, as he thought of the beastly and evil actsmitted by those Yi Xing Oceans cultivators. Ning Cheng clenched his fists in rage and anger, anyone who saw it would have felt as if he could simply pinch out the water from the air, Dean Man, I want to know if God Wind Academys disciples were also evacuated? God Wind Academy? Man Rang immediately came to understand, Ning Cheng was from God Wind Academy, moreover he also seemed to have a fiance named Ji Luofei who was also from God Wind Academy. The reason why Ning Cheng was so angry was because he thought that the God Wind Academy was exterminated by the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator forces, and was worried about his fiance. Man Rang spoke, Although the God Wind Academy was exterminated six months ago but not done by the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators, even to this day we do not know what happened to its head. As to this matter of the God Wind Academy, I had especially gone out to find some sort of clue but was not able to find anything. The God Wind Academy was not exterminated by the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators? Moreover, it was destroyed 6 months ago? Ning Cheng stared at Man Rang with wide eyes, who could exterminate the God Wind Academy six months ago? Did you have a fiance named Ji Luofei in the God Wind Academy? Man Rang asked. Ning Cheng forcibly quelled his anger, as he nodded and spoke, Yes, my fiance Ji Luofei is from the God Wind Academy, the reason I came back here was to pick up Luofei. Dean Man, when you went to the God Wind Academy at that time, did you find any clue? Man Ran thought for a moment and spoke, Although there was no clue that I could find, but that does not mean that there are not any leads. But if you are worried about your fiance Ji Luofei, then you worry is simply needless. Since a friend of yours had already taken your fiance away. Two Profound Core Cultivators coborated together to deal with your friend, but your friend easily cut away the arms of the two Profound Core Cultivators before going away in a leisurely fashion. But your friend did not seem too happy to kill them, as such did not proceed to kill them. So although the God Wind Academy was exterminated, but if you go to the Hua Continent, you might still be able to find a few disciples of the God Wind Academy. When he heard that Ji Luofei was fine, Ning Cheng already felt immensely relieved, but he could not remember when did he have such a powerful friend. Seeing that Ning Cheng was still puzzling over it, Man Rang once again spoke up, It was a white haired old woman, she said that she was your friend, and that she could not bear to let other people attack the God Wind Academy. During the time that we hade under attack, she had already left the God Wind Academy, moreover also since the Head of the God Wind Academy had already passed away, most of the people dispersed on their own soon after its destruction, as for your fiance she was also taken away by your friend. So it turned out to be that white haired old woman. Ning Cheng was really surprised that the white haired woman had helped him. He and that white haired old woman were not really friends, they had only helped each other out in some minor matters, it was most likely that the other party had helped him out in the light of their minor rtionship. Many thanks to Dean Man. Ning Cheng really felt relieved and gave a respectful bow full of gratitude to Man Rang. To Ning Cheng, as long as Ji Luofei was all right it was enough, as for the matter rted to who destroyed the God Wind Academy, he believed that sooner orter he would find out. Even if could not find out anything, Cang Shuo was sure toe back and look for clues. ...... Even if he knew that Ji Luofei was carried away safely by that white haired old woman, Ning Cheng had still made up his mind to go and have a look at the ruins of the God Wind Academy. Man Rang also quickly tidied up the cultivators from the Hua Continent as he also followed Ning Cheng back to the Hua Continent. Because Man Rang was following behind them, Ning Cheng could only tell Yang Honghuo to slow down the speed of the warship. They were already near the edge of the Hua Continent, as such they only had to travel for about half a day before they finally set their foot on the ground of the Hua Continent. The reason why Ning Cheng still cared about the Hua Continent, waspletely because of Ji Luofei. Now that Ji Luofei was taken away safely, and also came to know that the God Wind Academy was destroyed before the invasion from the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army, as such Ning Cheng now did not have that kind anger from before. Inparison, he came from Earth, as such he also did not feel any strong sense of longing to the 9 Continents of the Yi Xing Maind. But this time when Ning Cheng once again stepped onto the Hua Continent, his anger red up once again. The ce that he was in had basically no intact buildings, almost all the viges and cities along the way werepletely destroyed. There were bones densely covering the ground, along with torn of limbs, some of the monstrous beasts from the Yi Xing Ocean were still in the process of eating the ordinary people, who were trying to run away in order to preserve their lives. From time to time one could even see a handful of Yi Xing Oceans cultivators chasing down the lower levelled Hua Continents cultivators. As for the ordinary people, as long as even one was seen they would be immediately killed. The Yi Xing Oceans cultivators clearly knew that they wouldnt be staying in the Hua Continent, as such they were killing and destroying everything in sight. When Ning Cheng used his Spiritual Consciousness to sweep towards the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators, he directly locked onto a monstrous beast which had just swallowed a child that did not look older than a year. He immediately turned the warship towards it as he spoke to Man Rang, Dean Man, I decided to not take any of the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators and monstrous beasts as prisoners. I will be in front, followed by you along with the army, while along the way we will also gather the remaining cultivators from the Hua Continent. If you meet any Profound Core Cultivators along the way, then I request Dean Mans help to deal with them. Ning Cheng decided not let the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators to escape towards the ocean, although he himself knew that once he met a Profound Core Cultivator, he would not be their opponent. As such Man Rang was the best assistant, as long as Man Rang could cooperate with him, then he would be able to kill that Profound Core Cultivator in conjunction with Man Rang. Man Rang had since long ago wanted to fight back, but he had a limited amount strength. Moreover, because he was entangled with the others from the Yi Xing Ocean, he found it very hard to withdraw. He feared that Ning Cheng would not help them get rid of them, but now that Ning Cheng wanted to make his move and even asked for his help, how could he refuse, as such he immediately replied, Many thanks Junior Commander Ning for your help, I would really like to educate these sea monkeys, but my strength is not enough. But now that we have Junior Commander Ning, I have a lot more confidence. Their Profound Core Cultivators in the Hua Continent are also not too many, at most they still have two. Moreover, because of thisrge scale war, both sides have suffered great losses, as such most of the Profound Core Cultivators were almost mutually wounded. Ning Chengs cultivation was lower than Man Rang, but he stillmanded the Spirit Stone Cannon, moreover his Axe Line was also based on the Axe Type Killing Intent, as long as there were no Profound Core Cultivators that interfered with his work, he and Yang Honghuo could simply tear down their opponents easily all by themselves. At this point, the Hua Continent had long sincee under the control of the cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean, as such there simply was no problem of differentiating between them. As such regarding those Yi Xing Oceans cultivators and monstrous beasts gathered together, Ning Cheng simply did not need to use his hands, Yang Honghuos Spirit Stone Cannon was more than enough to directly blow them to ashes. Only for some individual cultivators who managed to escape, would Ning Cheng asionally resort to one or two of his Axe Lines. Before Ning Cheng arrived, the Hua Continentsrgest strength of the cultivator army was Man Rang. The Yi Xing Oceans cultivators already knew that they would only remain in the Hua Continent for a short while, so they ended up directly entangling Man Rang, and seize the time to ransack the Hua Continent. As such they did not upy any of the cities or even tried to guard them, but rather heartily were killing and plundering and burning things, as if they were a breath of annihtion. They never thought that once Ning Cheng arrived, it would immediately free up Man Rang. These people were burning, killing and looting in all four directions, as such Ning Chengs ck-Silver Warship was very handy. To the rear, Ning Cheng gestured Man Rang, who immediately sealed off the surroundings, not allowing even a single being through, human or otherwise. Chapter 0175 – Ning Cheng’s Approach Chapter 0175: Ning Chengs Approach After the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army entered and assumed control of the Hua Continent, they immediately turned it into a state of disunity as their forces scattered around wantonly, as such the Hua Continents cultivators, even if they wanted to, they could not organize an effective counter-attack against them. But now that Ning Cheng and Man Rang started organising the counter-attack, it immediately snowballed. Moreover, since the start he had allowed Yang Honghuo to st away wantonly with only the Spirit Stone Canon they had, while Ning Chengpletely remained virtually untouched standing behind the Spirit Stone Cannon. Although they had this kind of advantage, there was basically no need to actually use the Spirit Stone Canon in such a wanton manner, as the cultivators and monstrous beasts from the Yi Xing Ocean were all easily killed off by the others as they took advantage of their superior numbers. As the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators continued to decrease as they were beingpletely and thoroughly exterminated, but onto the Hua Continents side the quantity of cultivators were continuously increasing. Because the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators were all in a state of disunity, as such after Man Rang and the others exterminated the scattered cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean, he immediately moved forward to organise the Hua Continents cultivators to establish a base of sorts, before strategically dispersing the gathered people in all directions on Ning Chengsmand. In just a short four days, Ning Cheng and Man Rang managed to take back nearly 1/5th of thend that was lost. On the fifth day, Ning Cheng and Man Rang had gathered nearly 100,000 cultivators from the Hua Continent, before they finally decided to sh with the biggest resistance till now. ...... Mo Ze City, the home of the Falling Star 5 Star Academy, and also the former territory of the Shui n. At the same time, it was also thergest city of the Hua Continent. However, it had already be the den of the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army, as several thousands of Yi Xing Oceans cultivators gathered here. Although this ce was upied by the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators but it was not immediately destroyed, as they estimated that they would at least be living here for the time being till the orders to retreat arrive. But when Ning Cheng sensed 7 Profound Core Cultivators, along with dozens of Profound Congealing Cultivators, and as well as countless Essence Building Cultivators, along with the 50 to 60,000 strong Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army, he knew that the Hua Continents cultivator army would not be able topletely kill off the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators by fighting it out in the Mo Ze City. Moreover, looking at such a strength he realized that this was a war that they could not fight directly. Even if they gathered together all of the Hua Continents scattered cultivators, the entire army would simply be wiped out by their opponents strength. Compared to them, of the Hua Continents cultivator army that Ning Cheng and Man Rang managed to gather, there were only 3 Profound Core Cultivators. Other than Man Rang, the other two Profound Core Cultivators they had were a rogue cultivator by the name of Qi Xiuya, and the Clear Sky Academys Jing Ji. As for Profound Congealing Cultivators, all of them added up would not be more than a dozen people. In addition, even though they had a higher number of cultivators soldiers inparison to the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army, but their overall strength was not as high as the cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean. Junior Commander Ning, do you think that we can take back the Mo Ze City? Jing Ji spoke in a very polite way towards Ning Cheng, it was not because of his status as a 4 Star Junior Commander, but because he had witnessed Ning Chengs strength along the way, which had earned his respect from the bottom of his heart. Man Rang along with the rogue Profound Core Cultivator, Qi Xiuya, were also looking forward to Ning Chengs disy and answer. With the addition to Ning Cheng in their team, they had an easy way till this point. The main reason being, other than Ning Chengs Spirit Stone Cannon, Ning Cheng also possessed an extremely powerful Axe Type Killing Intent that could easily wipe out a considerable sized group all by himself. However, although there were many Profound Core Cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean on the Hua Continent right now, they did not possess this kind of Top Tier ck-Silver Warship or even the Spirit Stone Canon like Ning Cheng. Therefore, Ning Chengs ck-Silver Warship, along with the Spirit Stone Canon on board the warship, immediately became the sharpest and the deadliest long ranged weapon on the battlefield. Ning Cheng did not think that the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army in the Mo Ze City would have such a great strength, with this kind of strength, if they wanted to destroy the entire Hua Continent, it would indeed be effortless for them. Ning Cheng was silent for a while before he finally spoke, The Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army residing in the Mo Ze City has a strength that is absolutely stronger than what we have right now, but the reason they have not yet made a move on us is because they still do not know about our gathered strength. Moreover, they are also in a state of disunity, and are operating independently from each other, so much so that they have not even set up the most basic means of gathering intelligence. But even then, if we made a move on them at this moment, it would be simr to a carpet being rolled out to them, inviting them to simply ughter us all once they receive the news that we have arrived here. At the moment, although we are outside the Mo Ze City, but more importantly, they do not know that we have a Spirit Stone Cannon. If they knew that we have a Spirit Stone Cannon, they would absolutely try to flee with all their might, but even so they do not have the advantage of fully utilizing thends of the Mo Ze City. The three Profound Core Cultivators and some of the Profound Congealing Cultivators were deep in thoughts, as they thought that although the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators had already upied the Mo Ze City, but they still havent figured out the strength of their side. But they were also very clear on the actual situation of the cultivators from the Hua Continents side. Moreover, they were especially clear of the power of Ning Chengs Spirit Stone Cannon, which would definitely help them out in rushing out to meet them with a thunderous imposing manner. But they knew that although the side of the Hua Continent had arger number, but the number of Profound Core Cultivators on their side were far from being equal to their opponents. In the war between the cultivator armies, the number of people was not a strong major factor, it was how high the cultivation levels of the soldiers that was the major factor that determined their real strength My idea is, as long as we are able to kill the other partys Profound Core Cultivators, we can then surround the Mo Ze City, and with the help of the Spirit Stone Cannon, we can take care of the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators in one fell swoop. Although Ning Cheng spoke all that, he was not bluffing. He had arranged several Defensive Array Formations on the ck-Silver Warship, as long as it was not attacked by a Profound Core Cultivator, the Profound Congealing Cultivators would still need some time to break through the Level 3 Array Formations that he set up on it. At that time, his Spirit Stone Cannon would definitely be able to assume an awe-inspiring pose. Man Rang spoke up, We are only three Profound Core cultivators, while our opponent had 7 people. In other words, more than twice our numbers, how do we even beat them? Although at the moment they do not know about our strength, but once they realise this point, they would immediately rush out, moreover they would definitely kill all of us, if we do not kill them. Ning Cheng suddenly spoke up, I also think so, but if me and Dean Man can coborate with each other, we can definitely be able to take care of a Profound Core Cultivator. Jing Ji and Qi Xiuya, the two of you will have to stall three of them each, after we kill a Profound Core Cultivator, we will immediatelye to help. Listening to the end of Ning Chengs words, Jing Ji and Qi Xiuya looked at each other, for each of them to deal with three Profound Core cultivators, even if they did not die, they would only be able to hold out for not more than 10 breaths. Man Rang immediately spoke up, This is absolutely impossible...... Ning Cheng waved his hands, immediately interrupting Man Rangs words, I think the three of you misunderstood me, I intend to arrange a Hidden Serial Killing Array. The four of us will be inside the Array Formation cooperating with each other, moreover Jing Ji and Qi Xiuya will work together to contain the remaining 6 people inside the Array Formation, while me and Man Rang will use that opportunity to y them one by one. Of course, this will only work if the other party does not have an Array Formation Master within their ranks, if they do have a Top Tier Array Formation Master among them, then my approach will not necessarily work. You are also an Array Formation Master? Man Rang asked in surprise. I can only arrange Level 3 Array Formations at the moment. Ning Cheng honestly answered. When Man Rang heard Ning Cheng say that he could only arrange Level 3 Array Formations, he spoke up with some disappointment, Level 3 Array Formation can indeed help block a Profound Core Cultivator who does not understand Array Formations for a few breaths, but if you want to use this level of Array Formation to kill 7 Profound Core Cultivators, them it is simply not realistic. Jing Ji and Qi Xiuya also shook their head, indicating that they also thought that Ning Chengs idea was impractical. Ning Cheng just smiled and spoke, My Array Formations are different from others, my Array Formations are such that ordinary Array Formation Masters would definitely not be able to understand, of course there is also the possibility that if they had a Top Tier Array Formation Master among them, then given enough time they would be able to find the heart, but that is only based on the condition of if it was an ordinary Array Formation. But my Array Formations are different from others, that is my Array Formations heart can easily be moved around, this is why I said that I was going to set up a Hidden Serial Killing Array. Although Ning Cheng had only obtained the basics of Array Formations from An Yi, but because of having obtained the acknowledgement of the Mysterious Yellow Origin, and also because ofprehending the Mysterious Yellow Formless, his Array Formations Inheritance had already surpassed the other inheritances of Array Formations and was also radically different. It was also because of this, the Killing Intent Restriction ced on the entrance of the Ancient Immortal Mansion in the Angry Axe Valley did not pose any hindrances to him. [TL Note C For any confusion regarding the Mysterious Yellow Formless please visit Chapter 26] Because of this dissimrity in the viewpoint between them and the others, Ning Cheng thought that as long as those 7 Profound Core Cultivators entered his Hidden Serial Killing Array, then his n would already be half sessful. Although the Array Formations that he would be going to set up were only Level 3 Array Formations, but it can be said that it was made by fusing the Killing Intent Restriction ced on the Ancient Immortal Caves entrance into it. Even if it was Profound Core Cultivator, even if they took more than a dozen breathes of time, it would still be very difficult for them to break it. But for his approach to be sessful, they had to trap them in it for more than a dozen breathes of time, so that he and Man Rang could y a few of those Profound Core Cultivators. If they could not y even one of them, then it would only end up in failure. Even though his Array Formations heart could be moved around, but it was still just a Level 3 Array Formation in the end. Once the 7 Profound Core Cultivators started working together, then this kind of cyclic Level 3 Array Formation would be broken soon. If they could y at least one of them, then they could once again trap another one inside, as such the time required to break the Array Formation would be extended even more. For Ning Cheng, the more number of Profound Core Cultivators that he and Man Rang could y in a dozen breaths of time, the greater would be their sess rate. His only worry was that among those Profound Core Cultivators, there would be a Top Tier Array Formation Master among them, and would not enter his Hidden Serial Killing Array, as such it would make his entire approachpletely useless. Hearing Ning Chengs exnation, the three people including Man Rang remained silent. Even if what Ning Cheng said was true, it was still just a Level 3 Array Formation. A Level 3 Array Formation in front of a Profound Core Cultivator simply had too insignificant of a deterrence, to the point that it could even be said that it was simply non-existent. When Ning Cheng saw the three people silent, he once again spoke, After this war, I will leave the Hua Continent. The only reason why I am taking such actions is because of my anger towards the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators, if the three of you do not agree with my approach, I can understand. Then I dont think that we need to continue to be here, as there would be no sense to this siege as you would only be throwing your lives away. Qi Xiuya was the first to respond, I agree to it, I was born and brought up in the Hua Continent, but now that the Hua Continent is overrun, since this life was given to me in the Hua Continent, how can I retreat? Innumerable Hua Continents cultivator soldiers may fear falling from the sky, but I, Qi Xiuya, am not one of them. Hearing Qi Xiuya agreeing to Ning Chengs opinion, Man Rang also spoke up in solemn voice, Junior Commander Ning, Mo Ze City are my roots, I have been living in this Mo Ze City since I was born, but now that those animals from the Yi Xing Ocean have upied the Mo Ze City, for me, Man Rang, to continue to drag out my life as an ignoble existence has no meaning. Since we are going to die anyway, then it is meaningless to cherish this small life of mine. Jing Jiughed, Even though I, Jing Ji, fear death, but Junior Commander Ning, if in the future you manage to escape this ce, then please remember to burn some paper in the name of I, Jing Ji. [TL Note C In China there is a tradition to burn paper, especially paper money, as a remembrance and offering to ones departed family and friends.] Ning Cheng smiled and spoke, I cherish my life, how can we casually speak of dying. You can rest assured; my n has two main points. First, it is necessary for us to trick the Yi Xing Oceans Profound Core Cultivators into my Hidden Serial Killing Array. If they do note in, then my n will fail without a doubt. But the second point is the most important point, we must in the first ten breaths kill a Profound Core Cultivator, otherwise the possibility of failure for this n will increase by arge margin. Killing a Profound Core Cultivator within ten breaths of time, I am afraid that it would be somewhat difficult.... Although Man Rang with the help of Ning Cheng was able to kill a Profound Core Cultivator before, but that Profound Core Cultivator was battling against him for a long period of time. Moreover, it was also because that man had also underestimated Ning Cheng, that they could exploit such a two-pronged approach. Jing Ji also spoke up, Junior Commander Ning, regardless of if your n seeds or not, wouldnt stirring up all the Profound Core Cultivators inside be very difficult? If after they all came out, but in the end only a few entered, wouldnt our n fail? Ning Cheng was pretty confident in this area, as he spoke, This thing, you do not need to worry about, once I am able to set up the Hidden Serial Killing Array, then with the help of Dean Man, killing a Profound Core Cultivator within the space of ten breaths is not difficult. As for luring those Profound Core Cultivators out, it is much more simple. But one of the important factor is that there is a need for all of us to go into the array together, as a result of which we will lose some of our cultivator army, but we will at least not fail. Chapter 0176 – The Outbreak of War Chapter 0176: The Outbreak of War All the seven Profound Core Cultivators had to enter the Killing Array, moreover it was also thergest number that he could manage. If there were fewer people in the Killing Array, then his Killing Array couldst longer. As for the outside of the Killing Array, Ning Cheng was already well prepared with arge number of Defensive Array Formations. He knew that he must not allow the others outside to be able to attack the inside. That was the only way to take that into ount, once there was a Profound Core Cultivator who did not enter the Array Formation, then the losses suffered by the Hua Continents cultivators would be too great. As Man Rangs trio saw Ning Chengs speed in refining the Array gs, they finally somewhat believed that Ning Cheng could definitely arrange the Hidden Serial Killing Array. In order to coordinate with Ning Cheng, making the Profound Core Cultivators in the Mo Ze City to not suspect their actions, Man Rangs trio continued to shift around the cultivator army unceasingly. ...... Just as Ning Chengs side was fearing the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army inside the Mo Ze City, the cultivators from the side Yi Xing Ocean also had simr fears towards the Hua Continents cultivator army. They could see that the Hua Continents cultivator army were very dense and numerous, they were at least 100,000 strong, moreover they could also see three Profound Core Cultivators roaming about. But with only three Profound Core Cultivators, how could they dare to siege the city? This fact was very puzzling to the cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean, as they had the mentality of being cautious towards what they could not understand. Although the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army was upying the Hua Continent, but it was not without costs. They had just invaded the Hua Continent, but they were still involved in arge scale war on both sides. In that war between the forces of the Hua Continent and the Yi Xing Ocean, the Yi Xing Oceans side had invested nearly 200,000 cultivator soldiers, and more than 20 Profound Core Cultivators. But after fighting the war for so long, they had lost 11 Profound Core Cultivators, and nearly 100,000 of their cultivator army, before being able to push back the cultivator army of the Hua Continent. If not for there being less number of Profound Core Cultivators on the side of the Hua Continent, then the oue of the war would have been hard to predict. Xi Dou, I see that the Hua Continent still have three Profound Core Cultivators on their side, as such their strength should be far worse than our own. Spoke a thin and tall Profound Core Cultivator from the side. It was only after a good short while of observing the situation, that another red faced Profound Core Cultivator spoke. The Hua Continents cultivators are full of craftiness and are also cunning. If they only had three Profound Core Cultivators, how could they even dare to take back the city? Didnt you also notice that there is a ce among them that is shielded by a Concealment Array Formation. My Spiritual Consciousness has no way to sweep into that area, perhaps they are up to some tricks. Moreover we dont need to y with them at all, as long as everything is ready, we can retreat back safely. If during our retreat, we find that they were bluffing, we can easily ughter them all. At most we would only be dyed for a couple days. That red faced cultivator replied. In fact, most of the people agreed to the red faced cultivators words. Even if the Hua Continents army was not as good as theirs, they basically did not have anything to do with their hands for the rest of the few days. Their objective in the Hua Continent was already fulfilled. Originally they had intended to go back immediately, as basically there was no necessity for them to go ahead and kill every single cultivator from the Hua Continent. Moreover, wouldnt it be much better for them topletely ughter them with all their preparationsplete? ...... Both sides had already prepared their own ns, and so the first day came to pass. Although the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators temporarily stationed within the walls of the Mo Ze City had shed several times, but Man Rang took precautions so as to not actively engage against them, as such they only moved around a bit, that is, they did not dare to go all out. Moreover, the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army also tested them out a few times, but also did not go all out and attack, on the contrary they moved back again and again. During theing two days, both sides tested out each other many times. But during these days, Ning Cheng was constantly refining Array gs. Setting up countless Array Formations. Other than Yi Xing Oceans side testing them out, the area all around him was peaceful and quiet. Ning Chengs speed of arranging the Array Formations was already very swift, as such he could already arrange several Array Formations by the time it took for half an incense stick to burn. But because of arranging so many various Array Formations for a few days in a row, even if it was Ning Cheng himself, he could not remember how many different types of Array Formations that he had already arranged. Defensive Array Formations, Killing Arrays, Entrapment Array Formations, Concealment Array Formations...... Basically he had superimposed the various Array Formations together, and arriving at the end, Man Rang had also provided heaps of Artefact crafting materials to Ning Cheng, which he had once again refined them into more Array gs. Since the time Ning Cheng started studying Array Formations, till the point of time he had arrived here, Ning Cheng had never ever refined these many Array gs in such a short amount of time of just a few days. On the fifth day, Ning Cheng finally stopped. Seeing that Ning Cheng did not continue to arrange the Array Formations, several of the Profound Congealing Cultivators, and even the few Profound Core Cultivators immediately gathered around him, asking about Ning Chengs progress. My Array Formations are alreadypletely set up, apart from the initial two days of trial skirmishes outside the Mo Ze City where we were attacked a few times, the rest of the days were used to congregate our powers while biding our time. Moreover, initially they were also actively taking the initiative to attack us a few times before they stopped, as such we do not know what they are up to during these days, but even if that is the case we do not need to know about it. Ning Cheng had already nned to begin. As for what the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators did, it was not much important, anyways he did not intend to rush into the Mo Ze City and begin fighting hand to hand all by himself against the entire army. Are we going to begin now? Jing Ji asked, although he was a Profound Core Cultivator, butpared to Ning Cheng, he was much more nervous. Ning Cheng spoke as he took out three Array gs and handed them to Man Rang, Jing Ji and Qi Xiuya, These are the Command Array gs that I refined for my Killing Array, moreover these Array gs will also act as a guide for us to locate each others correct position. Jing Ji and Qi Xiuya, use them in the correct orientation, and constrain the remaining six. I and Man Rang will, in the shortest time kill thest one, and then get rid of the rest, one by one. How will you attract the attention of those several Profound Core Cultivators? Jing Ji was the most worried about this problem. Ning Cheng pointed to the ck-Silver Warship and spoke, It is the simplest, we will let the ck-Silver Warship go crazy and bomb the Mo Ze City with its help. With the power of the ck-Silver Warship, if they do note out, then they would only be seeking their deaths. Moreover, I will also be on the ck Silver Warship, which would also be concealed inside this Hidden Serial Killing Array, it is guaranteed that those Profound Core Cultivators will certainly first try to destroy the ck-Silver Warship. As a result, they will also naturally enter the Array. A good idea. Qi Xiuyaughed. Ning Chengs approach was simply too damage inducing. No wonder he was constantly arranging one Defensive Array Formations after another on the ck-Silver Warship initially. At first he had thought that Ning Cheng was doing this to ensure the safety and preserve the power of the ck-Silver Warship, but he had never thought that his original intention was to use the warship to lure the Profound Core Cultivators. Before he also felt some regret that there were too few Spirit Stone Cannons, but now it seemed that it was the only thing feasible. Yi! They seem to being out. Man Rang saw that numerous Yi Xing Oceans cultivators wereing onto the parapets, moreover even opening a few of the gates. So thats how it is, the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators were using these days to refine the Flight Type Artefacts, so they were really preparing to retreat, once they find that they would not be able to beat us, they had nned to leave this ce. Ning Cheng suddenly spoke up. Jing Ji also spoke with some amazement, To refine so many Flight Type Artefacts in a few days, it seems that they have an aplished Crafting Master among them. Man Rang spoke with disdain, These Yi Xing Oceans cultivators are simply ying downwind, once they faced even a bit of frustration, they would immediately try to return to the Yi Xing Ocean, moreover they even refined Flight Type Artefacts for this sole purpose. Ning Cheng already knew that these Yi Xing Oceans cultivators were going to retreat sooner orter as such did not share the same idea as that of Man Rang, moreover the opposite party already knew that this war would definitely notst long, even if in the end they had to finally retreat. Now that the task at hand had already beenpleted, since they already had an upper hand, why wouldnt they be willing to y with them for a bit? But if they thought that they would be able to get away from here with the help of those low levelled Flying Type Artefacts, then they were also grossly underestimating Ning Chengs IQ. Since he had been arranging Array Formations for five consecutive days, how could he not set up a Forbidden Space Restriction? If it was another Rank 3 Array Formation Master, then even if he was capable of setting up a Forbidden Space Restriction, but that did not mean that he also could arrange it. Although he could not arrange an Advanced Level Forbidden Space Restriction, but Low Levelled Forbidden Space Restrictions, he could still arrange them. Yang Honghuo, immediately go crazy with the Spirit Stone Cannon, aim at the most crowded spaces where the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators are gathered. Ning Cheng immediately fired out orders to Yang Honghuo. Yang Honghuo, who was already waiting for Ning Chengsmand, just as he received themand, immediately began his bombardment. A dazzlingly white light that looked like a meteor fell onto the centre of the Mo Ze City, immediately formidable Spiritual Qi fluctuations exploded out as that pir of light detonated. Boom....... The city walls of the Mo Ze City, under the Spirit Stone Cannon, were just like a sheet of paper, before it exploded to dust. Hundreds of Yi Xing Oceans cultivator were directly blown into nothingness by the Spirit Stone Cannon, while even many more were seriously injured by the shock wave from the st of the Spirit Stone Cannon. They have Spirit Stone Cannons!! Several of the Yi Xing Oceans Profound Core Cultivators immediately knew that they had thought wrong, although their numbers were not as high as their opponents, but if theypare strengths then they would definitely be stronger, but at the moment it was absolutely impossible for them wait and watch because of the Spirit Stone Cannon. Since the Hua Continents cultivator army had Spirit Stone Cannons, then continuing to guard the Mo Ze City was simply meaningless to them. The red faced Profound Core Cultivator immediately shouted out, Everyone immediately leave the Mo Ze City to attack, the several Profound Core Cultivators along with me will immediately proceed to the other side to destroy the Spirit Stone Cannon. They only have a single Spirit Stone Cannon, as long as we destroy their Spirit Stone Cannon, we can surely go ahead and kill all the Hua Continents cultivators here. The red faced Profound Core Cultivator had just finished speaking, when another shell came hurling towards their side. He could only watch as hundreds of Yi Xing Oceans cultivators, under the bombardment of the Spirit Stone Cannon, did not even have the ability to resist even for half a moment. Seeing this the red faced Profound Core Cultivators face became increasingly dark. As he was the first to rush out, and was followed by four other Profound Core Cultivators. The remaining two Profound Core Cultivators, as Ning Cheng had already predicted, did note out, but rather dispersed themselves among the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators as theyunched their attacks. Although this put less pressure on Ning Cheng, but Ning Cheng also knew, that with this the losses among the Hua Continents cultivator army would be even greater. Once the two Profound Core Cultivators rushed into the Hua Continents cultivator army, no one could be their opponent. Since he was the one who hadid out this Array Formation, how couldnt he know about how long this Array Formation couldst against a Profound Core Cultivator from the outside? At most it would only be for a few minutes. Yang Honghuo, you specifically aim the cannon at the two Profound Core Cultivators and force them toe to us. Ning Cheng could see that the seven Profound Core Cultivators were divided into two teams, out of which only five of them rushed over, immediately turning Yang Honghuo into their target. As long as they could hold up the Profound Core Cultivators, they would not have to be afraid of the rest of the cultivator army, as they can then be killed off. Once a Profound Core Cultivator rushed into the Hua Continents cultivator army, then the casualties on their side would be very heavy. Chapter 0177 – Momentary Opportunity In A War Chapter 0177: Momentary Opportunity In A War Not good, there is a low level Forbidden Space Restriction ced all around. Immediately put away the flight type artefacts and rush out in all directions, we have to first break the Restriction and only then can we resort to the flight type artefacts...... The red faced Profound Core Cultivator could sense a low level Forbidden Space Restriction ced all around the city. He immediately gave out the orders, while his speed not only did not slow down, but rather it increased. He had to first destroy the Hua Continents cultivator armys roaring Spirit Stone Cannon, this time he certainly understood where he had to go, before when he was using his Spiritual Consciousness to scan the area, he was able to find a ce where his Spiritual Consciousness could not seep into, but because of his suspicions, he seemed to have missed the best time. Since he now understood that he had missed the best timing to begin, the red faced Profound Core Cultivator immediately madly dashed towards the Spirit Stone Cannon. Although Ning Cheng hadid out the Array Formation, but thisyout was not an advanced level one, but still he was confident that his Hidden Serial Killing Array was absolutely enough for him to gain a bit of time. If that red faced cultivator had set himself up to it, then he could have easily found Ning Chengs Hidden Serial Killing Array. But if he only wanted to only destroy the Spirit Stone Cannon, then why would he think that Ning Cheng had alsoid out a Hidden Serial Killing Array? Ning Cheng looked at the red faced Profound Core Cultivator and his people who were directly going to attack inside his Hidden Serial Killing Array and he gave out a dark sigh in his mind. For two armies to sh against each other, they should not be hesitant, the only reason that they had such an excellent opportunity was because the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators were simply uninterested in them, moreover they also wanted to leave this ce, as such it was because they hesitated for a moment, that they immediately becamepletely disordered as they entered the array. Dean Man, you start with the Profound Core Cultivator of the 5th Level in the brown robe, we have to kill him first. Ning Cheng immediately transmitted his message to Man Rang through a sound transmission, once he saw the red faced cultivator entering his killing array. Not waiting for another sound transmission from Ning Cheng, the three Profound Core Cultivators immediately took their positions. Xi Dou, somethings not right, it is as if they were waiting for us toe here...... A Profound Core Cultivator with a small stature felt that something was strange, but before he could even start, Ning Cheng immediately threw out the Array gs to activate the killing array from his hands. At the same time, when Ning Cheng threw out those Array gs. Immediately around all surroundings of the people trapped inside, endless amounts of Axe Lights swept out. To them all of a sudden it felt as if those Axe Lights had materialised out of thin air, moreover not only they were numerous, they were also densely packed. Ning Cheng had the most thorough understanding of the Axe Intent, moreover during these past few days, his Angry Axe Type Killing Intent had already advanced to the peak of the Realm of Major Aplishment. As such, because of his powerful ability toprehend, he could sessfully integrate the Axe Intent into his killing array. This killing array is not something to worry about, attack with all your strength, it is just a low level killing array. Everybody look at each others positions before beginning...... The red faced Profound Core Cultivator found that Ning Cheng had set up a low level killing array for a person such as him, he immediately became even more furious, as he thought about the so called insidiousness of the Hua Continents cultivator army. Moreover, he was mainly angry at himself because he had initially feared the Hua Continents cultivator army, as such he had wasted the best time to act against them. Although these dense and innumerable Axe Lights made from killing intent were powerful, but the few injuries received by the several Profound Core Cultivators were not very big, at best, these low grade Axe Lights would only make them waste some time. Begin. Almost at the same time the red faced Profound Core Cultivator spoke, Ning Cheng also shouted out to Man Rang, who was hidden in a corner of the killing array. Man Rang had already locked onto the brown robed Profound Core 5th Level Cultivator, and started at almost the same time. In his heart he was really admiring Ning Cheng. Not only was the killing arrays arrangement was as expected by Ning Cheng, moreover Ning Cheng with only the cultivation of Essence Building Realm could easily see the cultivation of the Profound Core Cultivator with pinpoint uracy. Man Rang immediately bombed out with dozens of wheel lights as he attacked the brown robed Profound Core Cultivator, while at the same time, the red faced Profound Core Cultivator also threw out his magic weapon. Simultaneously, Jing Ji and Qi Xiuya, under the directions indicated on the Array g, also threw out several Array gs before taking out their magic weapons. Bang Bang Bang Bang...... Sounds of explosions incessantly rang out nonstop inside Ning Chengs Hidden Serial Killing Array. The Yi Xing Oceans Profound Core Cultivators immediately detonated their magic weapons at what they thought to be the heart of the killing array, but Jing Ji and Qi Xiuya immediately blocked out the attacks with their own magic weapons. They not only obstructed the attacks of the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators, they also used the Array g to change the position of the heart of the killing array. As for the brown robed Profound Core Cultivator, he was directly submerged by Man Rangs sneak attack, as he was bombed by dozens of those wheel lights. But the Yi Xing Oceans brown robed Profound Core Cultivator immediately took out a shield to block at the first instance. This killing array waspletely under Ning Chengs control. As such it did not even impact Man Rang for even half a moment, because of which he could devote hundred percent of his power towards the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator in front of him. This Yi Xing Oceans Profound Core Cultivator not only had to block Man Rangs full powered attack from one side, he also had to avoid Ning Chengs Axe Lights that were continuously condensing and obstructing him inside the Hidden Serial Killing Array. At this time, Ning Cheng finally started moving, he immediately shot out his Angry Axes Second Form, [Tornado]. The Golden Axe Shadow, under the influence of the Axe Lights condensed from the killing intent in the Hidden Serial Killing Array, grew even more powerful, moreover because of the presence of Ning Cheng, the Axe Shadows were immediately drawn towards him, simultaneously creating a tornado filled with Angry Axe Type Killing Intent, which he immediately shot towards the back of the brown robed Profound Core Cultivator. Peng The brown robed Profound Core Cultivator was paying most of his attention towards Man Rang, as such he simply did not think that there would be a trifling Essence Building Cultivator behind him. Ning Chengs Tornado Type Axe Shadow, directly blew open his flesh, killing him immediately as he fell into the middle of the killing array. From the time that the brown robed Profound Core Cultivator entered the Hidden Serial Killing Array, to the time Ning Cheng finally acted, not even seven breaths of time had fully passed, before Ning Cheng and Man Rang had sessfully executed the sneak attack, and killed a Profound Core 5th Level Cultivator. When it came to Ning Cheng, it could definitely be said that the result of one plus one was definitely greater than two. The red faced Profound Core Cultivator, when he heard the sound of the explosion, immediately knew in his heart that he was fooled, this was definitely not a simple Level 3 Array Formation, but rather a Cyclic Level 3 Array Formation. He immediately let out a howl towards hisrades, Without a heart to manage the Array, this kind of lower levelled Array Formation, if we can strike any ce with all our strength, we can directly destroy....... He had just finished his words, when the brown robed Profound Core Cultivator was killed off by Ning Cheng and Man Rang. This red faced Profound Core Cultivator felt his soul tremble, as he immediately took out his magic weapon to attack Ning Cheng. If a Late Stage Profound Core Profound Core Cultivator wanted to attack Ning Cheng, then even if Ning Cheng was inside the Hidden Serial Killing Array, he did not dare to engage against him. Ning Cheng immediatelymanded Jing Ji and Qi Xiuya to contain this red faced Profound Core Cultivator, while at the same time, he had already taken the initiative and sent out an Axe Chop in a different direction. This time Ning Cheng had sent out a simple Axe Trace, as his choice of opponent was a Profound Core 3rd Level Cultivator from the Yi Xing Ocean. Ning Cheng knew that he would not be able to kill a Profound Core Cultivator by himself, as such this Axe Trace was just to inform Man Rang, letting him deal with it, otherwise he would have been forced to permanently stay here. Man Rang had not thought that what Ning Cheng had spoken about earlier would havee true, he had easily killed a Profound Core 5th Level Cultivator, it was something that he himself could not believe. This was too simple, too easy, which made him feel that it was simply impossible. Moreover, the fact was, Ning Cheng had alreadymanded Jing Ji and Qi Xiuya to contain the red faced Profound Core Cultivator, while at the same time had already set his sights on another Profound Core Cultivator. About Ning Chengs actions, Man Rang was very clear, it was an indication for him to handle it. The more Profound Core Cultivators they were able to kill in the shortest possible time, the more favourable it would turn out for them. Man Rang hurriedly calmed down his surprised heart, as the red rainbow in his hands once again transformed into a dozen wheel lights, which immediately coordinated with Ning Chengs Axe Trace as they moved towards their target. The Profound Core 3rd Level Cultivator knew that Man Rang had already locked on to him, but he still dared to deal with Ning Cheng, the Crimson Dragon Prong in his hands immediately brought out a dense amount of Bright Thunder Loops, a small portion of these Bright Thunder Loops immediately locked onto the Golden Axe Trace of Ning Cheng while the rest immediately moved towards Man Rang. These Bright Thunder Loops immediately collided together with Man Rangs Scarlet Rainbow Wheel, which immediately led to the ruptures of the Bright Loops one after another, creating formidable True Essence ripples. As the sounds of True Essence explosions resounded, the cultivator with the cultivation level of Profound Core 3rd Level was directly heavily injured by Man Rang. His cultivation was already inherently weaker than Man Rangs, coupled with Ning Cheng helping from the side, moreover inside the killing array, the only avenue left for him was to end up falling here. Ning Cheng, in this moment, immediately shot out his Golden Axe Shadow directly converging it with the Axe Traces from the formation, as he directly sted at the attack that the Profound Core 3rd Level Cultivator had sent towards him. Peng Peng...... Puff.... Ning Cheng was not able to fully block the Bright Thunder Loops, although most of them were dissipated by the Golden Axe, the remaining Bright Thunder Loops directly bombed onto Ning Chengs chest. Ning Cheng was sent flying back, while simultaneously spraying out a mouthful of blood. As for the Profound Core 3rd Level Cultivator from the Yi Xing Ocean, he simply had no means to escape from Ning Chengs First Trace, which was actually his Angry Axes 1st form, [Angry Axe, the 1st Trace], which immediately cut him apart at his waist. Ka Ka...... The Hidden Serial Killing Array that Ning Cheng had set up, was currently under attack by the other three people of the Profound Core Realm, they had already destroyed 70-80% of it in a few moments, and could see that in a few more breaths of time, they would be able to break itpletely. Ning Cheng simply refused to consider his own injury, as he directly spoke to Jing Ji, Jing Ji and Man Rang immediately move to kill that red faced Profound Core Cultivator, Qi Xiuya, hold off the other two. From the time the five Profound Core Cultivators had burst onto the Hidden Serial Killing Array that Ning Cheng had set up, a total of only 10 breaths had passed by, while Ning Cheng had already killed off two Profound Core Cultivators. This time whether it was Man Rang, Jing Ji or Qi Xiuya, they were all sincerely convinced of Ning Chengs strength and foresight. So when Ning Cheng issued the order, the two men did not hesitate to implement it. Man Rang immediately joined up and coordinated with Jing Ji to deal with the red faced Profound Core Cultivator, while in the meantime, a different scene was taking ce outside the Hidden Serial Killing Array. The two Profound Core Cultivator who had not entered the Hidden Serial Killing Array, had already breached through the Defensive Array Formation that Ning Cheng had set up. Although Yang Honghuo was able to block them for a while with the Spirit Stone Cannon, but to use the Spirit Stone Cannon to kill a Profound Core Cultivator, it was simply not realistic. Under the attacks from these two Profound Core Cultivators, in only a couple of breaths of time, thousands of Hua Continents cultivator army turned into corpses. Ning Cheng was really getting anxious in his heart, but he knew that there was no way for him to offer his help, if he did not kill off the five Profound Core Cultivators that were trapped inside the Killing Array, there was basically no way to support the outside. Seeing that Ning Cheng and Man Rang were able to sessively kill two of their Profound Core Cultivator, the red faced Profound Core Cultivator almost burst from anger. Now that two people, Man Rang and Jing Ji, had besieged him, he crazily resorted to bring out his own magic weapon, a 6 ded door. He wanted to massacre them one after the other. Dont mind his magic weapon, just attack that guy. Ning Cheng saw that the red faced Profound Core Cultivator had brought out a six ded door, which turned into an infinite number of Six ded Three Dimensional des of Light, as he shouted from the side. He knew that once Man Rang and Jing Ji chose to block that six ded de of light, the result would absolutely be the Hidden Serial Killing Array breaking open, moreover without even killing the red faced Profound Core Cultivator. Since they were at present inside the Hidden Serial Killing Array, and had also besieged the red faced Profound Core Cultivator, they could still kill him. But once the killing array was broken, they would all be in the same situation, as such wanting to kill that red faced Profound Core Cultivator would simply not be easy at all. This Hidden Serial Killing Array, even if it offered only a little bit of diversion, in war that little bit could also y a decisive role. Man Rang and Jing Ji gawked, Ning Cheng said to not pay any attention to the red faced Profound Core Cultivators magic weapon, didnt it mean that they would be walking towards their deaths? This kind of Six ded Three Dimensional des of Light, if they did not pay attention to it, then would they even have a life to live? Chapter 0178 – Not Expecting Such a Result Chapter 0178: Not Expecting Such a Result Jing Ji simply did not have enough time to dwell on it, as he directly brought out his own Dual Elephant Pagoda, and with all his strength immediately sent it towards the red faced Profound Core Cultivator. He really did not n on blocking the attack from the red faced cultivators 6 ded Door. Before making his move, he had already understood that he might actually die in this war, but after receivingmands from Ning Cheng, he finally thought that he was definitely on the winning side, moreover this Array Formation was something that Ning Cheng had personallyid out. He wholeheartedly believed that Ning Cheng would definitely not let Man Rang and him to perish together with the red faced cultivator. Even if Ning Cheng wanted to do it like this, he would still follow hismand to thest letter. Man Rang hesitated but only for a moments time, after which he got ready to sacrifice himself regardless of anything. This kind of opportunity, if they missed it due to a blunder, then they might not necessarily have another chance. He immediately stirred up his Scarlet Rainbow Wheel crazily, and brought out nearly a hundred of light wheels, which he sent hurtling towards his opponent. At the same time, Ning Cheng also began. Ning Cheng pushed his True Essence and Spiritual Consciousness to his limits, as he immediately brought out a mouldy copper coin. This was the Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin that Ning Cheng had obtained before, but had never used it till now, because he was constantly refining it. Even if it was now, he had only refining it to the 3rd Level of Restriction on it, and was far from refining all of the copper coins. Trying to use the Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin was very difficult, if it was not absolutely necessary to use it during this time, Ning Cheng was definitely not willing to bring it out for this kind of thing. At this time, the situation was extremely urgent, Ning Cheng simply could not think of anything else, as he crazily stimted his True Essence and Spiritual Consciousness to activate this Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin in his hand. The red faced Profound Core Cultivators 6 ded Door had transformed into countless Three-Dimensional des of Light, almost trapping Ning Cheng and the three, as long as it was allowed even a short amount of time, these Three-Dimensional des of Light would immediately turn the three people into minced meat. At this time, a bucket sized huge square hole appeared as the coin expanded. Those inexhaustible Three Dimensional des of Light immediately stagnated, even the murderous aura that formed in the space around the des of light also slightly stagnated. Seeing the Three Dimensional de of Light and its murderous aura stagnated, Man Rang and Jing Ji suddenly felt their body loosen up. Immediately the killing power of the magic weapons in their hands became even more abundant as it reached their maximum possible limits. The square shaped hole in the copper coin was emitting a faint and fuzzy Spiritual Consciousness, which was curling around the 6 ded Door which the red faced Cultivator was able to sense. The innumerable Three Dimensional des of Light, after a slight dy, suddenly declined in power drastically. The red faced Profound Core Cultivator was aware that his 6 ded Door would soon break away from his control, not to mention the Six Sided Three Dimensional de of Light that he had stirred up. This was definitely a top tier capturing magic weapon, this red faced cultivator immediately understood this as he crazily agitated his Spiritual Consciousness to take back the control of the 6 ded Door. If he did not take back the control of the 6 ded Door, then facing the full powered attacks of the two Profound Core Cultivators, even if he was not dead, it would be more than enough for the Axe Light formed from the Killing Intent that were connected to this low levelled Hidden Serial Killing Array to kill him off. Although Ning Chengs Spiritual Consciousness was formidable, but in actuality, it still could not bepared to that of a Profound Core Cultivator. As such even if his Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coin was strong, he could still not bring out its full power. When the formidable Spiritual Sense counter attack arrived, Ning Chengs Sea of Consciousness began to hurt, the next moment he was directly thrown back. The red faced Profound Core Cultivator felt that the 6 ded Door once again was restored to being his magic weapon, but his heart sunk. Man Rang and Jing Jis attack hadpletely surrounded him, at this time this red faced Profound Core Cultivator could only agitate his True Essence to create a Guard Shield around him. Although he had recaptured the 6 ded Door, he simply did not have the means to counter attack. Although his True Essence and his Spiritual Consciousness was formidable. But after driving out Ning Cheng and his Five Elemental Treasure Fall Copper Coin, and after having injured Ning Cheng, he was unable to fully block the attacks from the two Profound Core Cultivators. Peng Peng, blood was sent flying, as this Profound Core Cultivator was directly killed off by Man Rang and Jing Ji. Ning Cheng wiped off the blood from his mouth, as he first took back the Five Elemental Treasure Fall Copper Coin. Then he spoke to Man Rang and Jing Ji, The two of you will have to kill another Profound Core Cultivator, while the other person is kept in check by Qi Xiuya. Saying that, Ning Cheng immediately sat down and started healing himself, the Hidden Serial Array Formation was going to break soon, but the most dangerous time has already passed. Man Rang and Qi Xiuya were iparably shocked in their hearts. They had never thought that Ning Cheng also had a magic weapon that could fully contain the attack of a Late Stage Profound Core Cultivator, what kind of magic weapon was that? It was simply too fearful. But the two people also knew that Ning Cheng was injured. This was the most critical time, as long as they could kill the remaining two people, the overall situation would then be set in stone. The two Profound Core Cultivators left from the Yi Xing Ocean were like a badly frightened chickens, to the point that they could not even muster up half a shred of fighting spirit. They only wanted to run away at this time, as soon as possible. They had decided to escape from this fearful Killing Array as soon as it was broken. The overall situation was truly set, as Ning Cheng stood up once again. Jing Ji cooperated with Man Rang and killed the fourth Profound Core Cultivator trapped in the middle of the Killing Array. There were only three Profound Core Cultivators from the Hua Continent, who were now working together to kill the only remaining fifth Profound Core Cultivator. Moreover, the Killing Array had still not yet brokenpletely. Three Profound Core Cultivators besieging a single Profound Core Cultivator, moreover in the middle of Ning Chengs Killing Array, it basically did not take much effort, before they managed to kill that Profound Core Cultivator. This kind of ambush type warfare, had onlysted for a dozen breathes of time. Moreover, Jing Ji, Qi Xiuya and Ning Cheng were also hurt, moreover even Man Rang was hurt a bit severely, but all of them hadpleted their intended objectives given to them by Ning Cheng. They simply did not wait for Ning Cheng to speak, when Man Rang, Jing Ji and Qi Xiuya, the three people immediately moved to intercept the other two Profound Core Cultivators. When the Killing Array finally opened, the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator discovered that their five Profound Core Cultivators inside had already disappeared, they immediately knew that they had already lost. Since five of their most powerful Profound Core Cultivators were already killed, then how could the remaining two of them fight? The two Profound Core Cultivators were crazily killing cultivators from the Hua Continents cultivator army and had killed about a dozen Profound Congealing Cultivators. In just a short period of time they had already killed tens of thousands of people, while at the same time, they had also lost 7 or 8 of their Profound Congealing Cultivators. But now at this time, the Hua Continents Profound Core Cultivators arrived and started with their counter attack. Two of the Profound Core Cultivators from the Hua Continent immediately moved to contain the two remaining Profound Core Cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean, while the remaining Profound Core Cultivator started to massacre the Profound Congealing Cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean. The situation of the war gradually tilted to one side. Along with the constant roars from the Spirit Stone Cannon, the Yi Xing Oceans Profound Congealing and Essence Building Cultivators fell quickly, this battle now absolutely did not have even half a moment of suspense anymore. Ning Cheng did not enter the fray again, this fight did not need him to join. Even if the bombardment from the Spirit Stone Cannon stopped, with three Profound Core Cultivators fighting against two Profound Core Cultivators, victory or defeat would soon reveal itself. ...... After an hour, the injured Man Rang along with Jing Ji and Qi Xiuya finally arrived in front of Ning Cheng, the rest of the war, was something that had no need for them. After killing the two remaining Profound Core Cultivators and all the Profound Congealing Cultivators, as long as there were Profound Congealing Cultivators from the Hua Continent, the rest of the war can be taken care off by them. At the moment, Man Rang and Jing Ji were somewhat seriously injured by the Profound Core Cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean. Jing Ji had a fractured arm, while Man Rang was hit with a severe internal blow, but even then they managed to kill the two Profound Core Cultivators. But these few peoples moods were actually very joyous, although their injuries were very serious, but if they slowly recuperated, they could easily recover from their injuries. Although the Hua Continent was invaded by the army from the Yi Xing Ocean, but in the end, they werepletely wiped out in the Hua Continent. When the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army had taken over the Hua Continent, no one would have thought of such a result, but this result actually took shape in front of everyone. Moreover, it could be said that the credits of aplishing such an achievementpletely went to Ning Cheng, as the Spirit Stone Cannon was also Ning Chengs. The arrangement of the Array Formation that trapped the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators was also Ning Cheng idea, even the Array Formation was also personallyid out by Ning Cheng himself. Junior Commander Ning, if it werent for you, in the future, even if the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators withdrew from the Hua Continent, it would have been very difficult to restore the vitality of the Hua Continent. I, Man Rang, seldom talk like this, but this time I wholeheartedly want to thank you for your help. Man Rang actually bowed to Ning Cheng as he spoke. Jing Ji and Qi Xiuya also bowed, they heavily respected Ning Cheng by now and treated him as their equal, no more urately speaking, they held a kind of reverence towards him. Although Ning Chengs cultivation was not as high as them, they affirmed that in the future Ning Chengs achievements would be much more than anything that they could achieve. Ning Cheng also gave them a respectful salute and said, I am going to take a trip to the God Wind Academy, as for the rest of the war in the Hua Continent, I will not participate in it, Ill leave it behind for you three. The fighting that were going on at present, the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators against the Hua Continents cultivators, the former only had a single choice and that was to escape as soon as possible. It did not matter whether Ning Cheng joined theter part of the war or not, as it would simply be unimportant. Junior Commander Ning, I will spread your name to all the cultivators from the Hua Continents cultivator army, who would in turn pass it down to the rest of the people from the Hua Continent, to let them all know who was the one who had taken back the Hua Continent. When Man Rang saw that it was time for Ning Cheng to go, he still spoke in a loud voice. But Ning Cheng simply did not bother with these things, he wanted to go to the God Wind Academy to have a look. ...... Ning Cheng had never been to the God Wind Academy, but he had the map given to him by Man Rang. The map provided to him by Man Rang was very detailed, and it could be seen that the God Wind Academy was not in close proximity to the Mo Ze City. But because of the speed of the ck-Silver Warship, he arrived at the location in just an hour. But the fact was, the God Wind Academy was dead, even the buildings left standing were not a lot. Destruction was simply everywhere. It looked like after the God Wind Academy was destroyed by some unknown forces, the Yi Xing Oceans cultivators had note here to take a look. Ning Cheng used his Spiritual Consciousness to sweep through bit by bit, but he found that anything that even had a little value was already taken away. Even in neighbourhood of the ruined Academy, he could not find any traces of Cultivators. As to the location of Ji Luofeis Immortal Cave, Ning Cheng had also not found it. Half an hourter, Ning Cheng was somewhat disappointed as he left the ruins of the God Wind Academy. Since Ji Luofei was taken away by that white haired old woman, she should be all right. With the cultivation of the white haired old woman, Ning Cheng estimated it to be at least at Soul Essence Realm or above. Faced with a person with such a cultivation level, even if he wanted to look for her with all his strength, if the white haired old woman did not look for him on her own initiative, he definitely would not be able to find the opposite party. [Author Note C Volume 3 ends here. Start of Volume 4 C See how Ning Cheng proudly smiles in the Laws Way.] Chapter 0179 – Success Chapter 0179: Sess Ten dayster, Ning Cheng and Yang Honghuo finally returned to the Jia Continent through the Yi Xing Oceans ind sea. Here the calmness and tranquillity had already been restored, to the point that it felt that war had never broken out in the first ce, moreover one could also see many merchant ships plying on the waters again. Ning Cheng gave out a dark sigh towards the vitality of a businessman, in just a short period of time, the traces of war between countless cultivators had simply becamepletely invisible as if it had never happened in the first ce. The Pu Bu Ind was not far away from here, and with Yang Honghuo controlling the ck-Silver Warship, they soon arrived at the outer perimeter of the Pu Bu Ind. The ck-Silver Warship had not even arrived close to the Pu Bu Ind in the sea, before they were surrounded by a number of cultivators from the Jia Continents cultivator army. Before Ning Cheng even had the chance to show his identity, Kong Pengpengs voice, along with his heartyughter, immediately sounded out, Quite good, quite good, the work you did in the Hua Continent was really splendid. The several of the cultivator soldiers from the Jia Continent quickly gave a respectful salute to Kong Pengpeng. Kong Pengpeng simply waved his hands and all the cultivator soldiers immediately retired back to their stations, before hended on Ning Chengs ck-Silver Warship. He pped onto Ning Chengs shoulder and said, Those Yi Xing Oceans monkeys wanted to ughter the Hua Continents cultivators while they retreated with their army, but in the end they were all simply killed by you. Ning Cheng, you really did very well, the risk that I took to make you into a 5 Star Junior Commander was definitely worth it. Many thanks to General Kong. Ning Cheng hurriedly thanked him. First well have to make a few changes, I have already helped you change your name. Kong Pengpeng took out a badge as he passed it on to Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng epted the badge and asked, What was the final result between the sh of the armies from the Yi Xing Ocean and the 9 Continents? Kong Pengpeng gave a heavy smile as he spoke, The results were exactly the same that I spoke to you about, those monkeys from the Yi Xing Ocean wanted a quota for the Laws Way. Although the 9 Continents had to eat a few losses, but the Yi Xing Oceans cultivator army was unable to score anything in the Advanced Level Continents. The oue of the negotiations between both sides ended up with us giving 400 quotas to the cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean. So many? Although Ning Cheng had also thought that they would end up in apromise after hearing his words at that time, but even if they ended up in apromise, at most they would only surrender about a 100 quotas, give and take a few. But he had never expected that the Yi Xing Oceans side would manage to take 400 of the quotas for themselves. Kong Pengpeng gave a restrained sort of smile as he once again spoke, The Yi Xing Oceans cultivators had gone all out, sparing nothing, to the point that even the Crucible Transformation Cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean had also stepped in. If they had not given in, the war would have still continued, fighting to the point till the Yi Xing Mainds 9 Continents were turned to ashes. The fights between the Crucible Transformation Cultivators, simply cannot bepared to the fights between other ordinary cultivators. In the past, the Crucible Transformation Cultivators from both sides never came out? Ning Cheng asked. Thats right, under normal circumstances, the Crucible Transformation Cultivators would never participate in battles involving the ordinary cultivator army. This was only because of the opening of the Heavens Way. Whether it were the Crucible Transformation Cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean or the Crucible Transformation Cultivators from the Yi Xing Mainds 9 Continents, as long as one is within a certain age group and cultivated to a certain extent, they can then be eligible to go to the Tian Continent to give it a try. Because of this reason, this war was different from anything that happened in the past. As the two people talked, Kong Pengpeng led Ning Cheng into the ce where his Yi Zheng Battalion was stationed, while at the same time introducing Ning Cheng to the other three Junior Commanders of his Yi Zheng Battalion. Needless to say all the people felt strange to have such a youthful Ning Cheng, moreover even the cultivation of Ning Cheng was not as high as it was required. But even then, he actually managed to became a 5 Star Junior Commander. Moreover, even Kong Pengpeng held him in high prestige, because of this all the people present felt even more strange, but no one asked about it. Ning Cheng, you have juste back from the Hua Continent, surely it must have been hard for you. So are you going to pick your own soldiers now, or do you want to take a break? Kong Pengpeng saw that there was something going on in Ning Chengs mind, as he looked a bit distracted, and took the initiative to ask. The rest of the few Junior Commanders and Senior Captains under General Kong gave a dark sigh towards Ning Cheng but did not speak anything. So all this was really all for the sake of Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng was really not interested in a military battalion, and he also had no intention of staying in a barrack for a long term, hearing those words he immediately spoke up, I really do not have much understanding about the Jia Continents cultivator army, and asks General to help me adjust to the rank of a Junior Commander. But at the moment, I want to go back to rest. The rest of the officers in the camp once again gave a dark sigh towards this Junior Commander Nings huge arrogance. He even asked the General to help him pick the cultivator soldiers, while he himself went to rest. Kong Pengpengughed for a while before smiling and saying, This is also good, it can all be done in a short while, Yang Honghuoe along with me. Kong Pengpeng understood the meaning of Ning Cheng, he could already guess that Ning Cheng was not particrly interested in the cultivator army. The main purpose for which he joined the cultivator army, while not going astray, was for cultivating. It was indeed Ning Chengs intention; he simply did not want to spend more time than necessary in the cultivator army. He originally had joined and participated in the cultivator army for the sole purpose of going back to the Hua Continent. But now the main reason he hade back here, was also for a purpose, and that was to participate in the Laws Way. After he came out from the Laws Way, he would then go around to find his own cultivation resources. To enhance his strength, he must go the Laws Way to realize it, moreover to enhance his cultivation, it was necessary for him to have arge amount of cultivation resources. By just relying on the cultivation resources provided by the military, regardless of if he got more than the others, it would certainly not be enough for him. ...... Kong Pengpeng did not say anymore words to Ning Cheng, now that Ning Cheng had arrived at his camp as a Junior Commander under him on his own, he already felt satisfied with it and had immediately departed along with Yan Honghuo. After looking around for a while, Ning Cheng was very satisfied. Here, apart from the area dedicated to the mansion of General Kong Pengpeng, his mansion was only slightly smaller, nevertheless he was already very satisfied with his ce. Here, even though many people in the battalion did not call him as Junior Commander, but this mansion was definitely for a Junior Commander. But because he did not have any troops under him at this moment, it became the private Immortal Cave of Ning Cheng. In the cultivator army, as long as a person had the rank of at least 1 star, they could have their own personal quarters, but since Ning Cheng was now a 5 Star Junior Commander, not only did he have a separate residence, but his ce of residence was also very luxurious. Not only that, there were also two beautiful female servants that came together with his, Junior Commander Ning Chengs mansion. The cultivator army were waited and served upon by the female servants, which was a pretty normal affair in all the barracks. Moreover, even Ning Cheng had seen that even Kong Pengpeng had more than 10 beautiful female servants in his mansion. However, Ning Cheng did not like to have a servant girl waiting upon him. He had many secrets, moreover during the time he cultivated, he really did not want anyone to be around him. And with his character, there really was no way for him to take a woman to bed, especially those who have already lost themselves to the rest of the people here in the barracks. Besides, he had not even done the deed with Luo Fei, how could he let his first time be with a female servant that he did not even know anything about? Another maid was again sent by Kong Pengpeng, but Ning Cheng simply sent her back along with the two other maids, directly to General Kong Pengpengs Mansion. ...... Ning Cheng had already finished arranging a variety of Array Formations in his own residence, when Yang Honghuo brought a woman with the cultivation of Profound Congealing Realm to Ning Chengs residence. Nan Yuefang greets Junior Commander Ning. This woman with the cultivation of Profound Congealing Realm seeing Ning Cheng, took the initiative to speak after giving a respectful salute. Nan Yuefang looked to be in her thirties, with her facial features not very fine, but there was a kind of martial aura around her. But looking at her figure, he saw that she looked quite sexy, with the standard curves of a woman. If only her face was a little more perfect, she would have been an unrivalled beauty. Although it was a pity, but it was nothing to regret over, even so, her face was definitely good looking, even if it only had regr features. There was a 4 Star Green Card strapped to her shoulder, with the words Senior Captain Nan Yuefang carved on it. Yang Honghuo, seeing that Ning Cheng had noticed Nan Yuefang, quickly added from the side, Junior Commander Ning, Senior Captain Nan Yuefang has newly joined our Junior Commander Battalion. General Kong had asked around the barracks, as to who would like to join our Junior Commander Battalion, only Senior Captain Nan Yuefang took the initiative toe forward. A Junior Commanders Battalionprises of four Senior Captain Battalions under it, so we still need to continue to pick our soldiers. Ning Cheng thought, how was this him picking soldiers? Wasnt she the one who picked me. But this was quite obvious, since it was Kong Pengpeng who spoke on his behalf, it resulted in only Nan Yuefanging. It was clear that the rest of them were simply not willing. Ning Cheng did not really care about recruiting and filling up his Junior Commander Battalion, but he still spoke to Nan Yuefang, Wee Senior Captain Nan for joining our Junior Commander Battalion. Speaking till here, Ning Cheng once again turned to Yang Honghuo and said, Our Junior Commander Battalion now has a Senior Captain Battalion under it, as for looking for the rest of the soldiers, they will have to temporarily put it on hold for the time being. I am going into closed door cultivation, regarding the matters of the battalion, I will leave it to you and Senior Captain Nan to deal with it. Nan Yuefang was absentmindedly watching her new Junior Commander as he turned around and left, while she was very puzzled in her heart. She thought that this Junior Commander would be very polite to her, even grateful to her that she had joined his Junior Commander Battalion. But unexpectedly, he just casually gave a word of wee, before leaving. However, this was also good. The reason why she joined this Junior Commander Ning Chengs Battalion was because she had heard that Ning Cheng only had the cultivation of Intermediate Stage Essence Building Realm. She was initially afraid of the so-call harassment from a Junior Commander, but since Ning Cheng only had the cultivation of Essence Building Realm, so even if he wanted to harass her, he could never touch her. ...... Ning Cheng, of course, was not in the mood to deal with these things. The reason why he had decided to go into closed door cultivation, was because this time he wanted to continue with his studies in Alchemy. When he was continuously refining the Array gs outside Mo Ze City, it had given him some inspiration. Before he used to feel that the reason why he had met repeated failures during his cultivation of Alchemy was because he was simply unfit to practice Alchemy. But at that time he finally found out that it was not because his understanding ability was poor, but because his own cultivation was too bad. Because of his poor cultivation, during the time he was practicing Alchemy, he was actually using a Spiritual Artefact Grade Pill Furnace. His own magical weapons and artefacts were not evenparable to the Spiritual Artefact Grade Pill Furnace that he was using, because of which he had always had a lot of problems in its control. Resulting in failure for one batch after another while creating pills. But at this time, his cultivation had directly risen up to Essence Building 4th Level,pared to his original cultivation level of Essence Building 1st Level, both his True Essence and Spiritual Energy had increased several times more than before, presumably, at this moment, he should not have any more problems when using the Spiritual Artefact Grade Pill Furnace. Ning Cheng was still refining the Level 1 Pill Returning Qi Pill in a carefully controlled and True Fire preheated Pill Furnace, while simultaneously putting in six to seven Rank 1 Spiritual Grasses in a particr order into the Pill Furnace. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the Spiritual Medicines inside the Pill Furnace began to melt. Ning Cheng, ording to his own understanding, used his Spiritual Consciousness to slowly separate the liquids and the residue, and then threw out the residue, before fusing the medicinal liquids. Half an hourter, the liquid in the Pill Furnace started emitting a pleasant fragrance. Ning Cheng, in his heart, was bing more and excited. Even if it was just a few Level 1 Pills inside the Pill Furnace, there was a medicinal aromaing out of it, it meant that he was just a step behind before entering into the realm of Tier 1 Ordinary Pill Master. Although he had tried refining such a pill numerous times, and had even managed to fuse the separated liquid, but the result never possessed a medicinal fragrance to it. An hourter, Ning Cheng felt that his Sea of Consciousness had almost dried up and was feeling very tired, this should have been because the consumption of his Spiritual Consciousness was simply toorge. But Ning Cheng was not surprised of this, rather he was actually happy because of this. Before during the many times that he had used the furnace, he never had a case where his Spiritual Consciousness was insufficient. However, it appeared that although his Spiritual Consciousness was powerful, but it was still not enough to actually step through the door of Alchemy. Even so, for the time it took for another half an incense stick to burn, Ning Chengpletely was in control of the fused liquid in the Pill Furnace, he was just about to make use of this opportunity to fuse the liquid it into solid pills and take them out, when he suddenly had a feeling that the Pill Arts recorded in the Alchemy Foundation were not very perfect. His mind involuntarily formed a new Pill Art, moreover he knew that if he used this new Pill Art to refine the Pill, it would be much more effective this time. Ning Cheng did not hesitate to use the new Pill Art, and the next moment twelve perfect blue pillsnded in a Jade Box that he had already prepared beforehand. Chapter 0180 – Bottom of the Junior Commander Battalions Chapter 0180: Bottom of the Junior Commander Battalions 12 Top Quality Returning Qi Pills, Ning Cheng sighed, this was the first time that he had actually seeded in Alchemy, moreover in the end he had even managed to refine 12 Top Quality Returning Qi Pills which was simply perfect. This was not because his level of understanding in Alchemy was high, nor because of his high understanding andprehension ability, neither was it because he was a genius, but rather it was because of one single thing, the Mysterious Yellow Formless. In this world there was no other person who had a Pill Art that was ever changing, no one other than him. Moreover, because of this he also understood that the reason he was not able to refine even a single pill before, not to mention a Top Quality Pill, was because he had left the pre-refined medicinal solution sit for far too long during the initial stages of the refinement. As such too much of its medicinal and spiritual nature within the medicinal solution had been lost. Ning Cheng decided not to refine any other pills, he continued to only refine the Level 1 Returning Qi Pills. During the time he was refining those Array gs non-stop, it had enlightened him on something. It was something that was extremely simple, when one became familiar with something to a certain extent, it would ultimately lead to a qualitative change. He continued to refine the Returning Qi Pills till his Spiritual Consciousness was almostpletely used up. It was not because refining the Returning Qi Pill needed one to possess a powerful Spiritual Consciousness, and also not because his Alchemy Technique was not correct. But because he was not acquainted or even familiar with the various kinds of techniques used in Alchemy. So during that past one day, Ning Cheng only kept refining the Returning Qi Pills. Even as the second day passed by, Ning Cheng still only continued to refine the Returning Qi Pills. ...... On the fifteenth day, his Junior Commander Battalions only Junior Marquis Nan Yuefang came to find him, but even then he was still immersed in refining the Returning Qi Pills. [Author Note C Old Five apologises for changing the title of Nan Yuefang to Junior Marquis from Senior Captain in order to keep it in sync with the ranking system.] ...... On the 23rd Day, Kong Pengpeng himself took some time off toe seek out Ning Cheng, but Ning Cheng was still refining Returning Qi Pills behind closed doors. ...... On the 30th day, Ning Cheng had just used less than the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn to refine a batch of Returning Qi Pills in his furnace, before he suddenly turned sluggish. He even forgot that he needed to clean up the Pill Furnace, and also forgot to check if the pills he refined were sessful or not. After taking a few deep breaths, Ning Cheng did not dare to believe it himself as he spoke out, The Returning Qi Pills does not require a Pill Art now? He had been continuously refining Returning Qi Pills for thirty days. And had been constantly keeping track of the gains and losses along the way. During these few days, he had almostpletely run out of the materials needed to refine the Returning Qi Pills. At this point, he had be so proficient that even if he was to close the eyes and proceed, he could easily refine a batch of Top Grade Returning Qi Pills inside the furnace. During these 30 days, the pill refining methods that he was using to refine the Returning Qi Pills in his furnace were continuously evolving and at present werepletely different from the original pill refining methods. Ning Cheng had already gotten ustomed to it, so much so that every time he went ahead to collect the pills after a certain period of time, his Pill Art would automatically evolve once again. But today however, he clearly felt that he had not used any kind of Pill Art, whether it was to refine the medicinal herbs, separating the residues, purifying and concentrating the liquids, blending the concentrated liquids, bringing out the spiritual nature, congealing it into shape, or finally forming the Pill...... What was even more shocking, was that he hadpleted this process is just a single breath, without even using any kind of Pill Art. He had only felt that this way of doing it was the correct one, and as such went ahead and did it, and in the end a batch of Returning Qi Pills had formed in the furnace as if it waspletely natural. No Pill Art, but still able to refine a batch of Returning Qi Pills? This waspletely different from his view that was based on the foundations of Alchemy that he had received and studied. That is to say any persons skill in Alchemy was in a way based on the foundation of Alchemy, as such everyone knew that to refine any kind of pill, it had to be first matched to a corresponding Pill Art, only if one had a good Pill Art corresponding to the pill that they wanted to refine, only then would one be able to refine a better quality Pill. ordingly, without a Pill Art, a pill simply cannot be created, if the pill cannot actually be created, then the result is something that can only be described as a Pill Pellet and nothing more. Ning Cheng took out the batch of Returning Qi Pills that he refined just now from the furnace andpared it to the batch of Returning Qi Pills that he had refined before it. With the two batches in front of him, he could feel that they were intrinsically different. Thisst batch of Returning Qi Pills had a Spiritual Nature apart from its Medicinal Nature to it whereas the previous batch of Returning Qi Pills were only containing their Medicinal Nature. [TLC Note C Spiritual Nature in an object/beast can be interpreted as it being alive or having a bit of intelligence. Its a term that actually has a lot of meanings depending on the context, but for most Xianxia/cultivation rted works the above two meanings are what people consider the most.] Ning Cheng had been refining Returning Qi Pills for a month now, as such he immediately understood this truth. Other people who used Pill Arts to refine the Returning Qi Pills, they only focused their attention on the Medicinal Nature and at the moment that it emerged they would immediately begin to shape it into a pill. Whereas he, for this batch, let the Medicinal Solution to automatically form the Returning Qi Pills, and did not use any Pill Art in the process, doing in such a way had almost instantaneously brought out the Spiritual Nature contained within it, this was what they called as the Spirit of the pill. [TLC Note C The Spirit here can also be interpreted as Soul. Left it like this to keep in sync with the Spiritual Nature] He had heard a few people say that only a handful of experts in the Profound Core Realm, when refining amon Ordinary Grade Pill, would asionally be able to refine a Returning Qi Pill that had a Divine nature in it. He was just an ordinary Tier 1 Ordinary Pill Master, but was already able to refine a pill with a Divine nature. This was the difference between the Mysterious Yellow Formless and the rest of the Pill Arts. He had just started to learn refining pills, but can already refine pills of such quality. Immediately suppressing the strong excitement in his heart, Ning Cheng once again started to refine more pills. But at this time, he not only refined the Returning Qi Pill, but also started to refine the other Level 1 Pills like the Qi Gathering Pills, and so on. A monthter, Ning Cheng finally stopped refining Level 1 Pills. He felt that he now no longer needed to refine the Level 1 Pills, since he could now refine any kind of Level 1 Pill without the need for any Pill Arts. Simrly, he can now also use any kind of Pill Art to refine any kind of Level 1 Pills. Ning Cheng then put away the Pill Furnace, and after cleaning himself a bit, decided to go stroll through the Pu Bu Ind for a bit of fresh air, and then when he came back, he would then start to refine Level 2 Pills. Ning Cheng had just pushed himself out of his closed door seclusion, when within his Spiritual Consciousness he found Nan Yuefang and Yang Honghuo of his Junior Commander Battalion waiting outside his mansion. What are you people doing here? Ning Cheng came out and had just asked the two of them when he found that Nan Yuefangsplexion was very ugly. Yang Honghuo was also with a long face as he spoke, Half a month ago, the Jia Continents cultivator army stationed on the Pu Bu Ind had a battle with the monstrous beast tides, in which our Junior Commander Battalion took thest ce. Even Junior Marquis Nan was alsoughed at, saying, saying...... Ning Cheng waved his hand, he knew for sure that it was not something good. However, at present the Yi Xing Oceans war had already been brought under ceasefire, so where did this beast tidee from? Is the battle against the beast tide still going on? You want me to take a look at it. Ning Cheng asked. When Nan Yuefang saw that Ning Cheng did not even know about the beast tides, she suddenly became speechless as she looked at Ning Cheng incredulously. Was this really a Junior Commander, ah, he did not even know about the most basics things of the Pu Bu Ind. Were the great deeds done by him that she had heard of previously, true or false? But since Yang Honghuo knew the origin of Ning Cheng, he quickly spoke up, There is always a monstrous beast tide explosion at a specific time every year from the Yi Xing Ocean, it is actually due to the spontaneous and natural behaviour of the monstrous beasts, and as such does not have any rtionship with the cultivator army of the Yi Xing Ocean. All the cultivator forces stationed on all the major inds in the Yi Xing Ocean collectively fight against this beast tide annually. This kind of beast tide does not affect the 9 Continents, rather the cultivator soldiers of the 9 Continents stationed in the Yi Xing Ocean only benefit from this without much harm. Ning Cheng finally came to understand, that these beast tides should originally be of the monstrous beasts from the Yi Xing Ocean. Before he was wondering that since there was no more war, then how could these cultivator soldiers stationed in the Yi Xing Ocean collect and gather the cultivation resources, it seems that originally these resources were all collected from these beast tides annually. Every part of the body of a monstrous beast from the Yi Xing Ocean was a treasure in itself, whether it was fur or the meat or even the bones, every single thing can be sold for resources. As such these things were more than enough for the cultivator soldiers stationed in the Yi Xing Ocean to help them cultivate. No wonder there were so many merchant shipsing in and out of the Pu Bu Ind every day, these ships in addition to bringing in arge amount of resources, they also transported a lot of materials that came from the monstrous beasts. Our Junior Commander Battalion, because we have very few members, did not dare to rush ahead to the front to grab opportunities from the monstrous beast tide, as such the harvest we obtained was also very little. Nan Yuefang finally spoke up feeling very ufortable. The other people were all personally lead by their Junior Commanders, those four battalions along with their Junior Commanders had conducted fortress type attacks gaining huge harvest, while their Junior Commander Battalion was led only by a Junior Marquis. Facing the beast tide that was rushing towards them, they could only pick up some waste materials left behind someone elses ass. Moreover, these things were simply those materials that the other people did not even want to pick up. Is it only this matter? Ning Cheng said as he thought, since it is only some monstrous beast materials, so why would they have to cry so much over it? Nan Yuefang finally could not endure it as she spoke out aloud, Mr. Junior Commander, for you this might be a small thing, but for us of the Junior Marquis Battalion, it is not at all a small matter. Do you know what is the main purpose for cultivators like us to join the cultivator army? Everyone here wants to cultivate, but if we have no resources to cultivate, then what are we still doing here? Saying that, Nan Yuefang was still not satisfied and swept a nce at Yang Honghuo. This Yang Honghuo gave an exaggerated ount of things that this Junior Commander had done, and finally the results itself showed what kind of person he was. Ning Cheng was aware that he had misspoke, he knew that the main purpose for a cultivator to join the cultivator army was indeed in order to cultivate. If they cannot even get the resources to cultivate, then who would be willing to join the cultivator army? He was a little embarrassed as he spoke, I dont know if this years beast tide is over or not, but as for next year, we will definitely work harder. Yang Honghuo knew that Ning Cheng did not really understand the life of a cultivator in the cultivator army stationed in the Pu Bu Ind, and quickly spoke up, Junior Commander, even if the beast tide is over, the cultivator army often goes out into the ocean. Although we can go out into the ocean to hunt for the monstrous beasts, but if we end up meeting arge group of monstrous beasts, then the numbers in our Junior Marquis Battalion are truly very low. This is easy. Ning Cheng went to the courtyard of his mansion, as he lifted his hand and gave a slight flick, immediately bringing out the ck-Silver Warship and said, This can be kept in the military barracks, next time you go out, just use the Spirit Stone Cannon on this warship to bombard...... Yang Honghuo was speechless, Junior Commander, if we had so many Spirit Stones, then why would we even need to use it bomb the monstrous beasts? Ning Cheng smiled, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw Nan Yuefang exim in shock as she pointed at the ck-Silver Warship and spoke, This is a Top Tier ck-Silver Warship.... Yang Honghuo, what you said before, is it really true? Yang Honghuo spoke with a bitter face, Junior Marquis Nan, of course what I said is true, moreover the ck-Silver Warship in possession of Junior Commander is also a fact, what would I even gain from trying to cheat you? Ha Ha.... with this, we would not have to be afraid of the monstrous beasts, and also will not have to fear those son-of-a-bitches and show the.... Nan Yuefang suddenly felt that what she spoke was not right for an officer of her rank. She subconsciously looked at Ning Cheng and asked, Junior Commander, do you really want to give this ck-Silver Warship to me? Ning Cheng was soon going to enter the Laws Way, as such this ck-Silver Warship would be more useful if it was ced in the army rather than taking it with him everywhere, moreover he also had ns to get his hands on a higher level flight type magical weapon. Moreover, even if he could not obtain any other flight type magic weapons, he still had the Twin Heavenly Cloud Wings. Thats right, this ck-Silver Warship now belongs to your Junior Marquis Battalion for the time being. Oh yes, do you have a Storage Ring to hold such a big thing? Ning Cheng suddenly thought that although Nan Yuefang was a cultivator in the Profound Congealing Realm, he also knew that a lot of the Profound Congealing Cultivators would not have a Storage Ring. The reason he knew this was because he had once asked Man Rang for a Storage Ring, this ring was one of the rings that came from one of the Profound Core Cultivators from the Yi Xing Ocean and was loaded with all kinds of cultivation resources that he had looted from the Hua Continent. Ning Cheng, apart from the Spiritual Grasses, and an airship type Spiritual Artefact inside it, only took some things that were suitable for Yang Honghuo. But as for the rest of the things inside, he simply did not want to take all of them due to embarrassment. [TL Note C Just a small memory refreshment C Artefact/Magic Weapon Grades C Ordinary
