“Brother Pu, why aren’t you leaving?” Seeing that Ye Daoist had stopped, Feng Fei Zhang asked in confusion.
Daoist Ye’s face changed slightly and accelerated forward again to search for a thousand meters before stopping again, this time he didn’t wait for the remaining few to ask before taking the initiative to say, “Brother Feng, I reckon Ning Cheng and his cousin shouldn’t have escaped this, so how about we go to the Mango Sea earlier and then find a few more people?”
The reason why the Daoist of Industry said this was because he had seen the two route maps that Ning Cheng had thrown down. The route maps had his markings in them, so he was able to look for them. And after he saw these two route maps, the trail he was able to sense was completely broken. He was left with no choice, and that was why he stopped.
Whether Ning Cheng was dead or had escaped, at least there was no way for him to find it now.
Daoist Ye was smart enough not to pick up the route map that Ning Cheng had thrown down, so the remaining few people did not doubt Daoist Ye’s words. Now that Daoist Karma said that it was hard to find and to go to the Mango Sea to find another partner, no one objected.
The route map had been taken out by Daoist Karma, so if he didn’t mind, why should anyone else care?
……
When Ning Cheng opened his eyes, a book was already nearly a third of the way through, and he immediately saw An Yi who was staring at him.
“An Yi, what are you looking at me for?” Although Ning Cheng asked, he was still immersed in the joy of walking into the hall of formations, and he felt that he had come into contact with a new field. He finally understood what an array was, what a forbidden system was, and why an array could function.
“I didn’t expect you to be able to close your eyes even when reading a book, you’ve been reading for three days and three nights, aren’t you hungry?” An Yi also breathed out, Ning Cheng had finally come to his senses.
Previously she had only heard from her master that cultivation could be done through seclusion to comprehend various things, today was the first time she saw that reading a book could also be done through seclusion as well.
Only when Ning Cheng heard An Yi say this did he feel his hunger coming on, but then he smelled a strange odour all over himself. After three days of seclusion, his gongfu had run automatically while he was comprehending the formations, surprisingly, some impurities and bad odours had seeped out.
“You wait for me for a moment.” Ning Cheng said awkwardly to An Yi and hurriedly drilled out of the cavern, then gave himself several Clear Water Duel and Dust Removal Duel one after another, and washed all his clothes again before putting on his clothes and reentering the cavern.
Seeing Ning Cheng come in clean and dry, An Yi finally showed some smiles. Then she took out a few pieces of dry food and handed them to Ning Cheng and said, “You should eat something first.”
Ning Cheng couldn’t wait to swallow the pieces of dried food, and already picked up the storage bag in his hand once again.
“Big Brother Ning, that storage bag should have a ban on it, there is no way for you to …… do it in three days” Before An Yi could finish her words, she looked at Ning Cheng in shock, “Big Brother Ning, you actually opened the storage bag? ”
Ning Cheng said with a laugh, “This is called the participants are not difficult, but the difficult ones are not. This formation ban is really simple, I managed to do it with just a few days of casual reading.”
An Yi froze for half a day before she said, “Brother Ning, to a cultivator, formations are the most difficult, even several times more difficult than cultivation, how can you say it’s not difficult?”
“Or maybe this storage bag ban I got is very simple, so ……” Ning Cheng subconsciously said before changing his tone and saying, “Well, I can’t say it’s not difficult either, back then, before I took the exam, just reading a book for half an hour to An hour was enough. This time it seems to have taken days to read, it looks like the formations are still somewhat difficult.”
When An Yi heard Ning Cheng admit that the formations were somewhat difficult, she nodded in agreement. She was simple-minded and thought that she was rather stupid, and there were many smart people like Ning Cheng. So it was surprising that such a laugh-out-loud explanation like Ning Cheng’s was agreed upon with her. As for the new terms that Ning Cheng spoke of, she had long since seen them as strange.
Ning Cheng had long been familiar with the usage of the storage bag, and he raised his hand and brought out hundreds of white crystals. These hundreds of white crystals surprisingly contained extremely dense spiritual qi.
“Huh, this Qi gathering stone is so pure, the ones I saw at first were all dull yellow, this time I actually saw a milky white Qi gathering stone, this is a new thing.” Ning Cheng said with a sigh as he cupped a white crystal stone.
Back then, Ji Luofei had gone to great lengths to help him get a Qi gathering stone, and had almost gotten himself killed. Today he had casually gotten over a hundred of them, and they were such pure Qi gathering stones.
An Yi, however, said on the side, “Brother Ning, what you have in your hand is not a Qi gathering stone, but a spirit stone. The kind you have should be lower-grade spirit stones, and my master said that there are also middle-grade spirit stones and upper-grade spirit stones.”
“Spirit stones?” This was the first time Ning Cheng had heard the word spirit stone, but he felt that these two words seemed more apt for this crystal stone.
An Yi said with a hmph, “A lower grade spirit stone can be exchanged for a hundred upper grade Qi gathering stones, and they are still available at a price. Qi gathering stones are generally used by low-level Qi gathering cultivators for cultivation, and although they are rare, they can be found. Spirit stones, on the other hand, are different, and are only produced in places where there is an abundance of spiritual energy. They are used by powerful cultivators, and my master gave me a spirit stone back then. You will definitely raise your cultivation a lot by getting so many this time.”
Only then did Ning Cheng suddenly understand, no wonder he felt that the Qi Gathering Stones were not very good, and that he could not cultivate as fast as he could without them. It turned out that Qi Gathering Stones were such low level things, in that case, wouldn’t a single Spirit Stone be able to be exchanged for 10,000 gold coins?
Then Ning Cheng also knew that he was thinking blindly, based on what An Yi said about the preciousness of spirit stones, there should be no fools who would be willing to exchange them for gold coins. Not to mention 10,000, I was afraid that no one would be willing to exchange them for tens of thousands.
“In that case, wouldn’t one medium-grade spirit stone be exchanged for a hundred lower-grade spirit stones? Then the upper grade spirit stones ……” Ning Cheng thought of the value of upper grade spirit stones and was instantly impressed. Even if he couldn’t cultivate, getting an upper grade spirit stone would make him rich.
An Yi shook her head and said, “Otherwise, one medium-grade spirit stone can only be exchanged for ten lower-grade spirit stones, and one upper-grade spirit stone can only be exchanged for ten medium-grade spirit stones.”
Ning Cheng nodded his head, “That’s also considerable.”
With that, Ning Cheng once again took out several jade bottles, books, and a jade slip, some materials and spirit herbs from his storage bag. On top of that, there was a flying sword magic weapon.
To Ning Cheng’s disappointment, he did not find any flying magic weapon. Although he also knew that with his ability, even if he had a flying magic treasure, he would not be able to master it, but this kind of magic treasure that could fly always gave him a great **.
An Yi did not know that Ning Cheng was still unsatisfied in his heart and still explained to Ning Cheng, “This storage bag is already yours, you need to refine it yourself and then arrange a ban yourself. The storage pouch’s ban is based on how well you know the ban, the higher the understanding, the higher the ban that can be laid out.”
Ning Cheng nodded, and after leaving behind the jade bottle and spirit stones, he threw all the rest of the items into his storage bag. Then he took twenty spirit stones and gave them to An Yi and said, “An Yi, our cultivation level is still too low if we want to gain a foothold in the Mango Sea. Now I’m going to use the spirit stones to cultivate and see, and you use them to cultivate as well. Once one of us can ascend to the fourth level of Qi gathering, we won’t be afraid of that mongrel, Daoist Ye. These medicine bottles, you see which ones you can use, you take them out and use them yourself. I’m going to continue my retreat now, so don’t disturb me.”
Ning Cheng was well aware of his low cultivation level, and now that he had spirit stones, he was anxious to find out if he could advance to the fourth Qi gathering layer. If the spirit stones could not even allow him to advance, then he would really be helpless.
So after he got the spirit stones and gave twenty of them to An Yi, he immediately started to shut up. He didn’t even block the entrance of this humble rock cave, let alone set up an array.
An Yi’s experience was even less than Ning Cheng’s, as Ning Cheng had not even remembered to set up the formation, and she knew even less. However, she was deeply convinced by Ning Cheng’s words, it was indeed not possible with a low cultivation level.
Therefore, after receiving the spirit stones, she also began to close the door. In this way, two inexperienced people began to close up in this unguarded place.
……
Ning Cheng, however, was immersed in joy at this moment, as the cultivation that had not loosened for how long seemed to have a tendency to loosen up when the rich spiritual energy in the spirit stones was absorbed by him.
This was not what surprised him the most, what surprised him the most was that there was once again a correction in the direction of the true qi he was cultivating in his mind. The hint of mellow and spiritual qi that had not appeared in his body for a long time once again appeared in his meridians.
The true qi in his meridians continued to flow and gather, causing Ning Cheng to vaguely feel that his true qi was constantly solidifying and increasing. Circadian after circadian ran, his meridians kept opening up and expanding. Sometimes it only expanded a little, but it gave Ning Cheng a feeling as if a heaven and earth had been opened up.
The new cultivation techniques in his mind were as if they were carved on, allowing Ning Cheng to completely abandon the Ning Family’s cultivation techniques and immerse himself in this new world.
It was not known how long it took before Ning Cheng felt a ‘boom’ crunch in his body, and the powerful flow of true qi and even more solid meridians made Ning Cheng understand that he had advanced to the fourth level of Qi gathering.
The third Qi gathering layer to the fourth Qi gathering layer was a watershed, many people were unable to pa*s it with spirit herbs and pills, but he had surprisingly pa*sed it with spirit stones. This made Ning Cheng overjoyed, and while he consolidated his cultivation, he continued to absorb spiritual qi and perform his circumambulation.
Suddenly a faint yellow aura appeared in his Violet Mansion, Ning Cheng was startled in his heart, he felt a hint of familiarity in this yellow aura. It seemed to be a kind of mellow, and it also seemed to be a kind of vicissitude, and moreover a kind of soothing feeling that he could hardly describe. It seemed to be the aura he had felt before, but it was a little different from it.
As Ning Cheng focused all his attention on that yellow aura, he perceived his body tremble and in the next moment, he unexpectedly appeared in the middle of a yellow and cloudy world.
“What kind of place is this? An Yi, An Yi ……” As soon as Ning Cheng appeared in this place, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly called out to An Yi.
At that moment, a message that seemed to come from the ancient times automatically imprinted into Ning Cheng’s mind, “Xuanhuang exists in heaven and earth, the universe is without flood …… The form above is called the dao, the form below is called the weapon …… Splitting beyond the sun and the moon, stepping on top of the stars and stars, can be called the holy dao ……”
At this moment, both the tedious and barren information that Ning Cheng could understand and those that he could not, flooded into Ning Cheng’s mind as much as possible, leaving him no room to refuse.
