“Ning Cheng, if you really have a mirage tree, using the mirage tree material to refine a wooden box to preserve the Underworld Soul Flower would be the best way to do so, but the value of the mirage tree is much more precious than the Underworld Soul Flower.” Yin Kongchan interrupted the silence between the three.
“What exactly is the value of the Mirage Tree?” Ning Cheng had a nine-coloured mirage tree, but had never known what the mirage tree’s function was.
“I’ve heard that it has something to do with Dao Rhymes, and only when you reach a certain level of cultivation will you understand this, so I’m not very clear about it either. And I’ve also heard that by using the mirage tree to refine weapons, one can refine magic treasures that surpass the very best true weapons. Of course, no one would use such a thing to refine weapons is all.” What Yin Kongchan said was very vague, so it was evident that she didn’t know very much about the exact value of the Mirage Tree, apart from knowing that it had value.
Xu Yingdie suddenly interjected, “One of the functions of the Mirage Tree is to restore Dharma skills and Dao hearts.”
Ning Cheng paused, “In that case, let’s all wait before we go, until I have preserved the Underworld Soul Flower.”
He understood the meaning of Xu Yingdie’s words, Xu Yingdie wanted the branch of the Mirage Tree, it must also be for that Ancestral Milk of hers. However, Ning Cheng did not immediately take out such a thing, he thanked Xu Yingdie for what she had done for him. But gratitude was not love, he would help Xu Yingdie to recover and then leave her a branch when he parted ways.
……
In the midst of the Misty Graveyard, even though Ning Cheng had the lowest cultivation level, his ability to survive in here was undoubtedly the strongest. When Ning Cheng asked to stop, Xu Yingdie and Yin Kongchan both had no objection.
Yin Kongchan even took the initiative to offer up a room and set up a formation outside. Ning Cheng had a room to himself, while Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdi had a room to themselves.
Even if they had limited time and Ning Cheng wanted to waste some time to preserve the Underworld Soul Flower, both of them had no way to argue against it.
The first thing Ning Cheng did was to use the Brahma True Sword to cut off a section of branches from the Mirage Tree. He was unable to use the Mirage Tree to refine a wooden box, but he used these branches to make a rough wooden box, then put the Underworld Soul Flower into the wooden box, and then put it inside a refined jade box, and engraved some forbidden systems on it.
In order to preserve the Underworld Soul Flower, Ning Cheng had wasted a day here. Despite the precious time the three of them had in the Misty Graveyard, neither Yin Kongchan nor Xu Yingdi said anything.
“A question suddenly occurred to me, that teleportation talisman of yours is no longer of any use now. Even if we have obtained the Nine Yin Marrow of the Earth’s Core, how should we get out of here?” After Ning Cheng walked out of the wooden house, the first thing he said was to ask Yin Kongchan about how to get out.
Yin Kongchan casually said, “Originally, I had prepared a way to get out, but now it’s just that even I can’t get out myself. So after we find the Nine Mysterious Marrow of the Earth’s Heart, the three of us will each depend on our chance. If we are willing, we will continue to team up together, if not, then we will each go our own way.”
Ning Cheng did not retort, now that he was already in here, whether he was displeased with Yin Kongchan or not, there was nothing he could do.
……
The jade slip that was thrown away by Ning Cheng only described that the Earth Heart Nine Spectral Marrow was in the Spectral Mist Graveyard, and there was no detailed location of the Earth Heart Nine Spectral Marrow. As a result, even with the spirit-seeking fox, by the sixth day, there was still no trace of the whereabouts of the Earth Heart Nine Spectral Marrow.
On the seventh day, Ning Cheng suddenly changed his general direction. Moreover, all the way down the road, the number of Yin souls became significantly more, and the number of times the trio struck out increased quite a lot, which was rarely encountered in the past few days.
Although Yin Kongchan did not want to speak, she could not help but ask, “Why did you suddenly change such a general direction? Before, you didn’t lead the way like this, you chose paths with fewer Yin souls. Why have you suddenly changed it now?”
“I think I can’t keep looking like this, I haven’t seen the Nine Pillars of the Earth’s Heart, and from the name I can hear that this kind of thing should come out underground. I always looked for places with few Yin souls before, and this approach is not right. I will now choose places with low terrain to go, or I may be able to meet them by chance.”
Ning Cheng’s reply could be described as illogical, but none of the three of them had any solution now, and they didn’t know what to do other than to listen to Ning Cheng. Or maybe in another two days, what they were thinking about should not be finding the Earth Core Nine Spectral Pith, but how to get out.
After Ning Cheng had walked downwards along the terrain for another two days, the number of Yin souls along the way was increasing.
“We can’t go on like this, we must find a way back now, otherwise, we will only add three more withered bones to this place.” As the eighth day was about to pass, Yin Kongchan stopped.
Ning Cheng looked at Yin Kongchan just as blandly and asked, “The way back? If you can know how to go back now, I will go with you.”
Yin Kongchan was at a loss for words, if she had a direction to go back, she would have been ready to go back a long time ago. The Nine Pillars of the Earth’s Heart was very important to her, but no matter how important it was, she could not leave her little life in this place.
“Little Kaoru has found the spirit ……,” Xu Yingdie, who had been very silent for a few days, suddenly spoke in surprise.
Xu Yingdie’s words caused Yin Kongchan and Ning Cheng’s argument to immediately stop and both looked at Xu Yingdie.
Although the Spirit Seeking Fox Xiao Feng had also found a spirit once a few days ago, that time the spirit was only the Underworld Soul Flower. Regardless of whether or not it was the Nine Mysterious Marrow of the Earth’s Heart this time, a spiritual object that could be found in this place was definitely not ordinary.
“You hurry and lead the way.” Yin Kongchan said without hesitation.
Without Yin Kongchan having to say anything, Xu Yingdi had already walked out first and quickly, while Ning Cheng and Yin Kongchan hurriedly followed behind.
An incense stick later, Ning Cheng suddenly called out to Xu Yingdie, “Don’t go further ahead.”
“We’re already there, the location that Little Kaoru pointed out is just three feet ahead.” Xu Yingdie stopped and pointed to the edge of a pitch-black rock not far away.
“There’s nothing there.” Yin Kongchan said in confusion as she looked at the empty space in front of her, which was empty except for a rock.
Without waiting for Xu Yingdie to speak, Ning Cheng said in a deep voice, “There is not nothing here, as long as we walk another ten feet ahead, we will have to enter a Yin Soul Chute.”
Ever since he had experienced a Yin Soul Chute, Ning Cheng had paid close attention to Yin Soul Chutes.
“You’re saying that this is a Yin Soul Chute? It can’t be, Xiao Xuan clearly said that there were spirit objects here.” Xu Yingdie said as she repeated in disbelief.
Ning Cheng nodded, “Little Kaoru should not be correct, in the middle of the Yin Soul Chute, there is also a natural concealment formation entrance. The level of this concealment formation is a natural level seven, or even something equivalent to something set up by a level eight Formation Grandmaster. It’s normal for you guys not to be able to see it.”
“You can actually recognise a rank seven natural concealment formation?” Yin Kongchan stared at Ning Cheng in shock, and even Xu Yingdie stared at Ning Cheng in disbelief.
It would take at least hundreds or thousands of years to train a level seven Formation Grandmaster, and it would also require absolute talent. How old was Ning Cheng, was this an old demon?
Ning Cheng shook his head, “Don’t you guys look at me like that, I’m not a level seven formation zong master yet, but I can enter the entrance to this hidden formation.”
Although Ning Cheng was not a rank seven formation sect master, he was an uncompromising rank six formation master. He was able to discover this formation and was able to quickly find the entrance to it thanks to Blood River Mountain and the bottom of Blood River Mountain.
He had been deducing formations at the bottom of Blood River Mountain for several years, so was he not comparable to an ordinary formation master? Before he had obtained the Xuanhuang Pearl, Ning Cheng’s memory and deduction ability was unbeatable. Coupled with the help of the Xuanhuang Origin, his deduction of several years of formations was even comparable to someone else’s continuous deduction of several decades, or even a hundred years.
Even though Ning Cheng said that he was not a Level 7 Formation Master, Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie were still shocked beyond belief. Even if he was not a Level 7 Formation Grandmaster, those who could enter a Level 7 Natural Concealment Formation would definitely not be below the level of a Level 6 Formation Master. Moreover, this formation master was not something that could be compared to an ordinary formation master.
Ning Cheng looked at Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie and said, “There are two ways, I’ll take you guys in together, but I’ll have to carry you guys, I can’t carry you by hand. Secondly I will go in alone and you two will wait for me here.”
“I will go in with you.” Xu Yingdie had said at the same time as Ning Cheng’s words had fallen.
Yin Kongchan only hesitated slightly for a moment before following Xu Yingdie’s words, “I will also go in with you.”
Hearing these words, Ning Cheng stopped talking at all and had already smoothly scooped up Xu Yingdie and Yin Kongchan one by one, swept them up in his arms and rushed into this Yin Soul Chute at the same time.
Xu Yingdie and Yin Kongchan both felt a tightening around them, and knew that Ning Cheng had already wrapped his arms around them. Their hearts immediately pounded, and even if they used their cultivation to suppress it, they could not suppress this physical change.
Don’t look at the fact that the two of them had always had an indifferent appearance and seemed to have no inhibitions in their speech, but when they were really held in the arms of a man, they still couldn’t be calm. Sometimes saying it is one thing, but doing it is another.
When Ning Cheng hugged the two of them, he didn’t think much about anything at all, but when the two extremely soft bodies were in his arms, even if he deliberately didn’t think about it, some physical reactions couldn’t help.
At this moment he suddenly remembered Ji Luofei, remembering the time when he and Luofei had kissed passionately together in that small rest house. A hotness rose up from the bottom of his heart, and Ning Cheng suddenly had a feeling that he could not wait to immediately tear off all the clothes of the woman in his arms.
“Boom boom ……” The endless Yin souls were startled and once again acted like a black fog, about to wrap around Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng was startled in his heart, he understood that the after-effects of his cultivation in the Small Spirit Domain that caused his Yang Qi to burn his body had not completely disappeared. In this moment of clarity, how could he dare to continue thinking nonsense, his body was even like a ball of twine, spinning countless times in this nether soul trough.
As Ning Cheng’s body continued to spin, his figure gradually faded amidst the swarm of countless Yin Souls, and soon disappeared. After the endless Yin Souls could no longer find Ning Cheng, they all lurked down again.
Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie were wrapped in Ning Cheng’s arms, and Ning Cheng’s body temperature rose and his breathing gasped for air, even using his hands to hold the two of them even tighter, which they immediately felt.
Just because they had never experienced such things did not mean that they did not understand. With Ning Cheng in this state, they immediately knew what the reason was.
Luckily, this embarrassment did not last long, as Ning Cheng had already put the two down.
The blood on Yin Kongchan’s face faded as she glanced at Ning Cheng and said, “I had always thought that you were a saint, but it seems that you are not either.”
“The Nine Pillars of the Earth’s Heart ……” Xu Yingdie’s astonished voice interrupted Ning Cheng’s embarrassment and Yin Kongchan’s words.
