“Senior Brother Ning, why don’t you even spare some Grade 1 and Grade 2 Spiritual Herbs?” Meng Jingxiu saw that Ning Cheng would collect spirit herbs whenever they were available, and did not differentiate between grades at all.
In fact there were too many good things inside the mountain bag, Grade 1 spirit gra*ses to Grade 4 spirit gra*ses were all there, and there were even some Grade 5 spirit gra*ses.
Ning Cheng laughed heatedly, “I am going to learn alchemy, so all these spirit herbs are of use to me.”
“You want to learn alchemy?” Meng Jingxiu’s eyes widened as she looked at Ning Cheng for a long time before she responded. She was so amazed because she knew how difficult it was to refine pills.
Regardless of the fact that the countless resources of spiritual herbs needed for alchemy were not affordable for ordinary people, even the innate conditions for alchemy were not something that just any person could do.
The best spirit root for alchemy is the main fire spirit root, supplemented by the wood spirit root, and the spirit root should not be too mixed. On top of that, one must also have an extremely strong talent for alchemy. It was because of this that there were very few alchemists in the entire Yixing Continent, and senior alchemists were even less common.
Ning Cheng seemed to know that Meng Jingxiu would have this kind of attitude and did not take it personally, saying casually, “You can give me the low-grade spirit herbs later, I need them for my alchemy.”
Meng Jingxiu had eased up and smiled as well, “I don’t want spirit gra*ses, I didn’t come in for spirit gra*ses, I’ll give you all these spirit gra*ses later.”
When Meng Jingxiu said this, Ning Cheng was a little uncomfortable instead. He was about to explain, but after thinking about it, he thought better of it. There was really no use for Meng Jingxiu to ask for spirit gra*ses.
“I’ve always been alone, so I’m a bit withdrawn, and I can’t learn to speak or do things the right way. Please don’t mind if I have offended in the Great Square of Moze before, Senior Brother Ning.” Meng Jingxiu had always wanted to sincerely say an apology to Ning Cheng, but now that she heard Ning Cheng say something as delightful as wanting to learn how to refine pills, her mood relaxed for a moment and she said it instead.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “I had a somewhat bad impression of you before. After seeing that your magic treasure was a halberd, I knew that you were a straightforward person, so I didn’t mind at all. In fact, you should smile more often. You’re much prettier when you smile than when you’re stony-faced.”
Ning Cheng was from Earth and it was normal to praise a woman for being pretty, it didn’t necessarily mean that he had to like someone else. Meng Jingxiu had slightly dark skin and was indeed pretty looking. She had always had a slack face before, but now that she had more of a smile on her face, it was normal for her feminine charm to show through.
Meng Jingxiu’s face flushed slightly and she lowered her head without speaking. Although she was confident that she was not ugly, she knew that Ning Cheng’s comment about her being pretty was not because she liked her. This kind of woman’s intuition. It was completely impossible to express it in words. What’s more, for her, there were too many things to do, and the matter of finding a mate was simply never possible.
“Huh. Four Yuanti Fruits.” Ning Cheng had long since put this matter aside after he had casually said so. What attracted him were the four Yuanti Fruits lined up in a row. Yuanti Fruits normally bore only one fruit per plant, and the branches of the Yuanti Fruits were very small, just like an ordinary thin gra*s.
The Yuanti fruit was the main spiritual fruit used to make the Yuan Building Pill, and it was because Rui Mu Dan Qin had obtained a Yuanti fruit that he had almost gotten himself into trouble.
With the discovery of the Yuanti Fruit, more and more spirit herbs appeared. Precious spirit herbs such as Heavenly Fragrance Lucidum, Boat Returning Flower, Dracaena Root, Smoke Chi Orchid and many more were discovered by Ning Cheng.
Seeing the Heavenly Fragrance Lucid Ganoderma, Ning Cheng thought of An Yi who was still at Meteorite Academy. At the beginning, she had gone through a lot of trouble to find a Heavenly Fragrance Chi, but now he had obtained one. It was fine if the boat returned the flower, and the pills it made could be used by Yuan Building cultivators for cultivation. But the Dracaena Root and Smoke Chi Orchid were remarkable.
The Dracaena Root, in particular, was not as high as the Smoke Orchid. However, it is an extremely high grade four spirit herb, and this spirit herb can be used to refine the Dao Shen Pill.
The Dao Shen Pill is a Grade 4 True Pill. When a low-level cultivator cultivates, once he is distracted and goes off the rails, the Dao Shen Pill is the best pill.
A mountain bag of spirit herbs. It was enough to fill Ning Cheng’s two storage bags, including of course the ones Meng Jingxiu had given him. Meng Jingxiu only kept a very small portion of the spirit herbs that she might use, the rest was all given to Ning Cheng.
“This place is really nice, Senior Sister Jingxiu, let’s continue with another mountain bag.” Ning Cheng rubbed his hands together and became more and more excited about the Angry Axe Valley.
Meng Jingxiu gave a hmph and said after a moment of hesitation, “Senior Brother Ning, why don’t we go to the place I mentioned first. Although there are many spirit gra*ses here, they are all low grade spirit gra*ses. Since the Angry Axe Valley has already undergone a change, I’m afraid that in case we’re teleported out before we even get to that place.”
Ning Cheng came back from the thought of having to collect countless spiritual gra*ses and felt that what Meng Jingxiu said was not without reason. Who knew when a teleportation situation would suddenly occur in the Angry Axe Valley?
Thinking all this, he asked somewhat cautiously, “Senior sister Jingxiu, tell me what kind of place in the Furious Axe Valley is this? And how did you know there was this place?”
Before Meng Jingxiu could answer, Ning Cheng felt as if the surrounding area had gone berserk all of a sudden, a feeling that gave Ning Cheng an extreme sense of danger. He didn’t even have time to think about it, so he directly brought up Meng Jingxiu and his entire body turned into a line shadow, flying out of this mountain bag.
When Meng Jingxiu was hugged by Ning Cheng and eagerly flew out, she immediately knew that something was going to happen and she did not dare to move at all. Sure enough, the next moment a terrifying explosion blasted up from where the two were standing.
“Boom ……” A terrifying loud sound followed immediately behind Ning Cheng, the powerful impact force blasted directly onto Ning Cheng’s back, shattering the clothes on his back.
With another “bang”, Ning Cheng was knocked directly into an abandoned pit in the distance by the powerful explosion, crushing him and Meng Jingxiu together. Meng Jingxiu’s injuries had not yet completely healed, so when Ning Cheng hit him like this, he immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Ning Cheng was at the first level of Yuan Building, but his true essence was incomparably thick, the clothes on his back were blown off and a bloodstain ran across his back, but he was not injured. He picked Meng Jingxiu up and said somewhat apologetically, “I don’t know what happened just now, but the hill we were on suddenly burst open. I didn’t pay attention and let you get hurt again.”
Meng Jingxiu stood up on her own, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, “I’m fine, if it wasn’t for you just now, I probably wouldn’t have been able to get out.”
All the people looked at the hill where Ning Cheng was in awe and uncertainty, at this moment that hill had long disappeared and even turned into a deep pit. That kind of terrifying explosive power was too much for any cultivator of Yuan Building cultivation to withstand. In other words, if they had been there collecting spirit herbs, they would have already fallen at this point.
A few Yuan Establishment cultivators were about to come over and ask Ning Cheng what had happened, when a few more violent explosions rang out.
Two more mountain bags suddenly burst open, and this time the cultivators inside the mountain bags were not as lucky as Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu. Apart from the dozen or so cultivators who rushed out, none of the cultivators who were inside or beside these mountain bags escaped and were all reduced to pieces by the sound of these violent explosions.
The cultivators who were still searching for spiritual herbs, or those who were still working together to break open the mountain bags, retreated in droves. Sure enough, these cultivators had not gone very far when more mountain packs began to explode. Eventually an unbroken chain of qi was formed, and the booming sound was incessant.
Some of the cultivators who were too late to escape were affected by such explosions in batches, and then fell.
“It’s true that we escaped early ……” Ning Cheng said with a palpitating heart, if he had delayed a little bit, he might have fallen to the sound of such explosions.
There was one more thing he didn’t say, there was definitely a reason for this explosion, it was impossible to just explode in succession like this for no reason, blowing up all those mountain packs that hadn’t collected any spirit gra*s yet.
The smoke and debris dust from the explosion had already covered up the entire area. Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept over to Situ Yu and the others and found that they were fine, so he was a little relieved.
“Angry Axe Valley, it’s Angry Axe Valley …… Angry Axe Valley has appeared ……” an incoherent voice rang out, and this voice immediately attracted the attention of all eyes.
Then more people shouted incoherently, they really saw the Valley of the Angry Axe.
Ning Cheng and Meng Jingxiu also clearly saw a huge deep valley in front of them, which was as flat and smooth as if it had been sharpened by an axe. The slightest hint of murderous intent leaked out, sending chills all over one’s body.
However, Ning Cheng vaguely felt that this Raging Axe Valley was somewhat different from the Raging Axe Valley he had seen when he first came here, but he could not tell what the difference was.
The cultivators who had been somewhat dejected because the Spirit Gra*s Mountain Bag had been blown flat here were excited once again. The mountain bag had been flattened, but the Valley of the Angry Axe had appeared, which was a real opportunity. Just by comprehending a little bit of axe intent in the Valley of the Angry Axe, it would be a great killer in the future.
Didn’t you see that early stage Chiku Yuan cultivator who had comprehended a hint of axe intent before had killed two Chiku Yuan experts from Red Sky Academy in a row? There was even one who was at the seventh level of Yuan Building. What did they rely on? It was the axe intent.
“Senior Brother Ning, I seem to feel a killing intent, I ……” Meng Jingxiu also said in surprise, her halberd technique, Raging River Tide Rising, was incredibly powerful, but she felt that it lacked an intent, and that intent was the true killing intent. That is, halberd intent. If she can comprehend halberd intent here, then her combat power will more than double.
Ning Cheng saw countless people flocking towards the Angry Axe Valley and nodded as well, “Hurry up and go in, I’ll come in to look for you in a bit.”
“Senior Brother Ning, you’re not going in?” Meng Jingxiu looked at Ning Cheng in confusion and asked.
“I’ll feel the axe intent right here, I can feel it.” Ning Cheng hurriedly said, he felt that this axe valley was somewhat similar to the one he had seen before, yet it was definitely different. This axe valley as a whole looked flat, but when one looked around with their divine sense, they would find countless tiny cracks around this axe mark.
And yet, Ning Cheng felt the third axe intent that he had vaguely felt before from these cracks.
