Ning Cheng and Yin Kongchan also saw the Earth Heart Nine Spectral Pith at the same time. The three of them had never seen the Earth Heart Nine Spectral Pith before, but the moment they saw it, all three of them were certain that it was the item they were looking for.
Ning Cheng had always thought that the Earth Heart Nine Spectral Marrow was a kind of Earth Heart Marrow that had seeped out of the underground rocks, but today he realised that the Earth Heart Nine Spectral Marrow was a plant that had coalesced out of it.
In front of the three of them, there was a bare mountain peak, surrounded by mere gravel at the foot of the peak. The peak was grey in colour and tens of feet high, and at the top of the peak grew a three-foot tall plant with just a single leaf. The plant resembles a sunflower, with a round fruit at the top, which bends the plant down. Below the fruit there is a red liquid that is about to drip.
The three of them could see clearly with their divine senses, and they all knew that the red liquid was the Nine Mysterious Marrow of the Earth’s Heart. At this moment, in a stone trough below this plant, there was already half a trough of this red liquid. It was just that this stone trough was very small, and even if there was half a trough, it looked like there were only two to three bottles at most.
“I really didn’t think that the Earth Heart Nine Spectral Pith was permeated by a plant.”
After Ning Cheng sighed, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Yin Kongchan and said, “You said that you needed the Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings to take the Earth Heart Nine Spectral Marrow, but this place doesn’t need the Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings at all.”
Yin Kongchan said in a faint voice, “That’s because you didn’t disturb the plant that condensed the Nine Mysterious Marrow of the Earth’s Heart, once you do, this bare mountain peak will turn into an incomparably cold icicle, not to mention this point of our cultivation, even if we have the cultivation of the Sea Pioneer Realm, standing on such a mountain peak will immediately be turned into an ice ling. And ……”
After saying the word and, Yin Kongchan stared into Ning Cheng’s eyes and said word for word, “There is only one chance to take the Earth Core Nine Mysterious Marrow, you must completely take the Earth Core Nine Mysterious Marrow from that stone trough before this mountain peak turns into an ice pillar. Otherwise, we will have come in vain this time. Once we disturb the small tree that condensed the Earth Heart Nine Mysterious Marrow, even the Earth Heart Nine Mysterious Marrow that is already in the stone trough will turn into freezing and turn into nothingness.”
Ning Cheng understood Yin Kongchan’s meaning and asked in shock, “That means even if I have the Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings, I only have one chance to go and obtain it? As soon as I go to obtain it, I will definitely alert the plant that condensed the Nine Mysterious Marrow of the Earth’s Heart?”
“That’s right, you only have one chance. And you have to be as quick as possible, if we stand here for too long, we will alarm that plant all the same.” Yin Kongchan panted as she looked at the plant at the top of the peak.
Ning Cheng didn’t ask any more questions, he just took out two jade bottles and held them in his hands, he estimated that the Earth Core Nine Mysterious Pith in that stone trough could only fill two jade bottles.
Once he was ready, Ning Cheng took a few steps forward and suddenly waved his Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings vigorously.
An icy coldness seeped out from the foot of the bare mountain peak, and Ning Cheng immediately felt it, as a layer of white frost seeped out of this originally grey and bare mountain peak in this instant. A terrifying coldness forced its way directly towards Ning Cheng, seemingly about to freeze Ning Cheng’s Heavenly Cloud Wings in the next moment.
Not good, it had already alerted that plant, and this icy cold was coming from below and upwards. Once it froze the Earth Core Nine Spectral Marrow in that stone trough, it would be useless for him to risk so much to come here this time. Ning Cheng even frantically waved his Sky Cloud wings and charged upwards.
In the distance, Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie looked at the bare mountain peak in shock, gradually turning white from the bottom of the peak upwards, as if it was running water, this icy coldness from the bottom upwards made the two of them nervous.
If it was in an ordinary place, the distance of tens of feet would have been reached by Ning Cheng with a casual wave of his Heavenly Cloud wings. But in this place, every time he waved his Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings, he could feel an endless pressure of icy cold.
Moreover, the space around him seemed to be frozen by the icy cold emanating from this bald mountain peak, making him feel like he was in an extremely sticky pot of sugar.
When the cold air invaded Ning Cheng’s feet and even condensed a layer of white frost on his feet, Ning Cheng’s heart tightened, he knew that once this cold air reached the top of the peak before him. Then he would be just like what Yin Kongchan had said, that he had come for nothing this time.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng’s qi and blood suddenly tumbled all over his body, and the trace of poisonous yang qi that remained in his body from the Little Spirit Domain was also swept up. In this instant, the layer of white frost beneath his feet instantly turned into nothing.
This scorching Yang Qi was very familiar to both Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie, when they were held by Ning Cheng not long ago, a similar kind of scorching aura was emitted from Ning Cheng’s body.
Yin Kongchan understood in an instant that Ning Cheng had just deliberately hugged her tightly, seemingly because he had been influenced by this aura.
Once the coldness beneath Ning Cheng’s feet had gone, his speed once again increased a little, and after a few more strenuous swings of his Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings, Ning Cheng had already seen the stone trough.
At this moment, Ning Cheng didn’t even think about it, he directly brought up the Earth Core Nine Yin Marrow in the stone trough and sent it to the two jade bottles, while putting the jade bottles under the lid and sending them into his ring.
The moment Ning Cheng sent the jade bottles into the ring, the terrifying icy cold aura had already swept over. A blanket of white, cold air completely wrapped around Ning Cheng and this mountain peak before Ning Cheng. It was as if Ning Cheng’s Heavenly Cloud Wings had frozen and could no longer be swung. In the next moment, Ning Cheng fell down as if he was a kite with a broken string.
Ning Cheng was horrified in his heart, but the further down he went, the heavier this icy cold became, and he was unexpectedly unable to make any movements, and even his consciousness blurred.
Xu Yingdie and Yin Kongchan rushed up almost at the same time.
“Boom ……” Ning Cheng smashed into the hands of the two, sending them straight to the ground, and the three of them fell into a ball.
At a height of several dozens of feet, two Perfection of Origin Soul cultivators joined forces, but they had failed to completely catch Ning Cheng, and caused the three to fall together.
“Ka ka ka ……” At this moment, the sound of bones breaking on Ning Cheng’s body was as clearly visible as if an ice cream had been knocked off.
Yin Kongchan picked Ning Cheng up with difficulty and said to Xu Yingdie, “Hurry up and leave, the cold air here will get heavier and heavier and eventually freeze all three of us into ice ling.”
Knowing the urgency of the situation, Xu Yingdie also reluctantly climbed up and stumbled after Yin Kongchan to quickly escape from this terrifying grey mountain peak.
As the three of them went far away, the cold Qi around them became less and less, and finally had no effect.
Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie were already at the foot of the mountain, and their situation was much better than Ning Cheng’s. Ning Cheng had the lowest cultivation level and was also the first to bear the brunt of the fall from the peak again, and his internal organs were almost frozen. At this time, it was already considered that Yin Kongchan had rushed fast enough to keep his body intact, otherwise his body would have been frozen open and cracked.
“Ning Cheng is alright, right?” Xu Yingdie wiped a trace of blood that had spilled out of the corner of her mouth due to the icy cold and asked nervously.
Yin Kongchan took a look at Ning Cheng and said with a frown, “He is in a somewhat serious condition and has completely lost consciousness.”
After saying that, Yin Kongchan looked around and said again, “Do you feel that this place is strange? Not only is the divine sense more than ten times stronger than in the Ghost Mist Graveyard, but it is also incredibly empty.”
Xu Yingdie gave a hmph and did not directly answer Yin Kongchan’s question, but only pointed at Ning Cheng in Yin Kongchan’s hand and said, “You can hand him over to me, I can use my true essence to help him some.”
Yin Kongchan did not hand Ning Cheng over to Xu Yingdie, but only said coldly, “If you want to cut off the love, you have to wait for Ning Cheng to wake up, right now Ning Cheng is seriously injured, I am not quite comfortable handing him over to you.”
Xu Yingdie said sadly, “I can even swallow the Life Burning Pill for him, would I still harm him? Even if I were to cut off my love, he doesn’t even like me, what love would I go to cut off?”
Yin Kongchan still said calmly, “If you weren’t Xu Yingdie, I would believe it, but unfortunately, your name is Xu Yingdie.”
Xu Yingdie also calmed down and looked at Yin Kongchan calmly, “If you like him too, I won’t fight you for it, but you should at least let me try and see if I can save Ning Cheng.”
Yin Kongchan said blandly, “There would be no need to use so much heart between the two of us, back then your ancestor Xu Binglan and my ancestor Sang Yan, both liked Yan Fenghua of the Heavenly Dao Sect at the same time, such things will never happen again. Don’t worry about it, I saved Ning Cheng simply because Ning Cheng saved me a few times, just as you saved Ning Cheng with the Life Burning Pill before. I am not fond of Ning Cheng, so when Ning Cheng is well, you can go ahead and cut off your love. Right now you can use true essence to help Ning Cheng, and so can I.”
“Your surname is Yin.” Xu Yingdie’s tone became cold.
Yin Kongchan did not care and said calmly still, “My master is the Seventh Palace Master of the Drifting Snow Palace, Sang Xiezhu, she is also my mother, I don’t want to continue following my mother’s surname, can’t I take my father’s surname again?”
Seeing Xu Yingdie’s silence, Yin Kongchan suddenly said, “Before Ning Cheng wakes up, you will always be with me anyway, and you will be able to see clearly whether I will do anything to Ning Cheng.”
When the two said this, they surprisingly remembered the same thing. Then both of them looked at each other and neither of them said anything further.
……
When Ning Cheng woke up, he found himself sleeping alone on a couch in a tiny room, he was shocked and hurriedly jumped and sat up. At the same time, his divine sense stretched out, and his divine sense instantly extended thousands of meters away.
Still in the same space where he had collected the Nine Mysterious Marrow from the Earth’s Core, Ning Cheng immediately understood. As soon as he had entered this space earlier, he knew that his divine sense had extended quite a lot. Not only that, there was no poisonous fog and corpse barrier Qi here.
Ning Cheng soon discovered that there was someone missing, not only was there someone missing, Xu Yingdie who was left outside the house was still covered in blood and flopping on the ground. Yin Kongchan’s figure was nowhere to be seen, at least within the range of his divine sense, there was no Yin Kongchan.
Ning Cheng hurriedly got up, rushed out of the house and helped Xu Yingdie up. After finding out that Xu Yingdie was only seriously injured, he was relieved and hurriedly took out a healing pill and sent it into Xu Yingdie’s mouth.
A few breaths later, Xu Yingdie opened her eyes, and when she saw Ning Cheng, she immediately said in surprise, “You’re awake?”
“Mhm, thank you so much. What happened, how come I haven’t seen Yin Kongchan?” Ning Cheng knew that although Xu Yingdie’s injuries were not light, under his pills, this injury was nothing.
