Ma Ang looked at Ning Cheng with his mouth wide open in disbelief for a while before he said, “You said you went down alone to get algae Yuan tendons?”
“That’s right, I went down alone. But I wasn’t from Aaron City before, and now I’m going to settle in Aaron City. I don’t know the place well, so I still need some help from Brother Ma.” Ning Cheng said with a smile.
Ning Cheng had a lot more on his mind at this time than he did before, he hadn’t been to Arun City yet, who knew what kind of city it was? Judging from the attitude of Ma Ang and the others, it seemed that Aaron City was still considered an orderly place. But even if it was more orderly, it was always good to know one or two acquaintances.
Ma Ang said with a straight face, “It’s no problem at all to ask for my help, although the formalities of living in Aaron City are a bit troublesome, a commoner’s identity, I can still help Brother Ning. But you have to tell me, how much algae tendons can you get? As for the dangers of going down to get algae tendons, I won’t say anything, I’m sure you already know that.”
Ma Ang had obviously also guessed that the half algae yuan tendon at the lake was lost by Ning Cheng, so he was sure that Ning Cheng had gone down to the lake. The fact that Ning Cheng had gone down to the lake and still dared to say such things meant that Ning Cheng had a few tricks up his sleeve.
Ning Cheng secretly said in his heart that he really needed formalities in Aaron City, and there was also the issue of identity, these things could be asked later.
Ning Cheng pointed at the two beast carts and said, “I can get enough algae tendons to fill one of these two beast carts.”
At this moment, not to mention Ma Ang, even the rest of the people looked at Ning Cheng in a daze, how was this possible. If one was not careful when getting algae tendons in the White Ghost Lake, they would be strangled by the algae tendons and there was no way to save them. Every time people came to get algae tendons, they would lose one or two.
It was only after a while that Ma Ang swallowed a mouthful of spit and said, “Brother Ning, if you can get a cart full of algae tendons, I am willing to help the three of you get the civilian residence procedures in Aaron City, and also give you a small courtyard.”
“Alright, it’s a deal.” After Ning Cheng finished speaking, he turned back to Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie and said with a smile, “I’ll go get the algae tendons, you guys just wait for me outside.”
“Is it okay if I don’t go?” Xu Yingdie said timidly.
Yin Kongchan gave Xu Yingdi a meaningful glance, Xu Yingdi’s personality seemed to have changed overnight.
“Don’t worry, otherwise it won’t be easy to go to Arun City.” Ning Cheng said as he was about to go down to the lake.
Ma Ang hurriedly took out a leather pouch and sent it to Ning Cheng and said, “After you go down to the lake, you can tie this leather pouch to your back, then hold a tube on the pouch in your mouth and take a breath when you need to change your breath, this will ensure that you stay in the lake for a longer period of time.”
“This thing is good.” Ning Cheng smiled, this was simply a simple oxygen bottle.
Seeing Ning Cheng descending into the lake, Xu Yingdie and Yin Kongchan were both a little nervous as they paid attention in the lake. At the same time, the two of them also paid careful attention to these people who had suddenly come here to get algae yuan tendons.
Luckily, these people were completely different from the two people they had met before, not only did they know how to be polite, but they were also very enthusiastic. They soon became acquainted with two of the women and even borrowed a set of clothes each.
……
As soon as Ning Cheng entered the lake, there were once again black shadows reaching over, but these black shadows took the initiative to back off after meeting Ning Cheng’s three-pronged thorns.
In just a short time, Ning Cheng was once again at the bottom of the lake. He found that he could also vaguely see some scenery at the bottom of the lake, and although it was blurred, he could clearly see that the bottom of the lake was occupied with this kind of algae that was like a long belt.
With the swing of Ning Cheng’s three-pronged thorn, these algae were cut by him as if he was cutting wheat. In just a short time, he had already cut a large bundle.
Ma Ang and the others who were waiting nervously for Ning Cheng at the lake did not have to wait long before they saw Ning Cheng rushing out of the lake with a large bundle of algae Yuan Tendons in his arms.
“That much?” Ma Ang and the others simply looked at the large bundle of algae tendons in Ning Cheng’s hands in disbelief, every time they came here, they could only get at most one third of this much, and it was still the top part of the algae tendons, the roots could not be seen at all. Ning Cheng had gotten so many at once, and had even uprooted them.
Some people who originally did not believe Ning Cheng’s words were all shocked and looked at Ning Cheng. Their eyes were filled with admiration, people who were capable would be respected by everyone in any place.
After Ning Cheng changed his ‘oxygen bag’, he continued to descend into the lake.
In just most of the day, Ning Cheng had already gotten ten bundles of algae yuan tendons up. Feeling that he could almost fill up a cart, Ning Cheng decided to get one more bundle and stop.
This large area at the bottom of the lake where algae tendons grew was half cut by Ning Cheng, mainly because Ning Cheng’s three-pronged thorns were simply too sharp.
But this time Ning Cheng’s three-pronged prick was suddenly blocked, his three-pronged prick cut into something hard and even shook his hand a little.
Ning Cheng reached out and touched it, and under his hand were all sorts of dead bones, so he could see that for a long time, he did not know how many people had lost their lives at the bottom of this lake.
Even though Ning Cheng had lost all his cultivation now, he had seen so many things that these skeletons had absolutely no effect on him.
Ning Cheng quickly grabbed the hard thing that was obstructing the three-pronged spike, it was like an iron rod, and the coldness in his hand made Ning Cheng feel that this thing was not simple. He pulled it hard and this iron rod shook a little and was not pulled up by him.
The algae Yuan Tendon below it was far away from Ning Cheng, who simply tied the three-pronged thorn to his calf again. With both hands, he once again pulled this iron rod with great force, and this time he finally pulled it off.
A feeling of heaviness and solidity surged to his heart, with a touch of joy. Ning Cheng touched the iron rod with his hand, and when he reached the end, he unexpectedly found that it was a lance. Could it be that one of the great powers had lost his life here and ended up leaving his magic treasure here?
But the magic treasures were all in his ring, so how could he take them out in a place like this?
When Ning Cheng thought of this, he suddenly thought of the possibility that in case time had passed and the ring’s prohibitions broke and the ring was damaged, would the item come out?
If the ring was damaged, even the best things would be reduced to pieces. This kind of spatial power misalignment was simply not something that could be blocked by ordinary items.
If the ring is damaged and the thing is not yet damaged by the spatial power, then it means that the thing is really too good and is definitely the best of good things.
Ning Cheng’s heart suddenly pounded, if he obtained a spear that could not even destroy the ring’s spatial destruction, wouldn’t that be great luck?
Forcibly suppressing the excitement and elation within himself, Ning Cheng felt around the area again, and only when he was sure that there was nothing else in the area except this lance, he grabbed the lance and quickly rushed out of the lake. As for cutting the algae yuan tendon again, he no longer had half an interest in it.
Every time Ning Cheng came up, he would bring up a bundle of algae yuan tendons, this time Ning Cheng had surprisingly just grabbed a rusty iron rod and came up, the people at the lake were all very surprised.
“Brother Ning, what is this?” Ma Ang did not ask Ning Cheng why he did not get algae yuan tendons this time, but looked at the rusty lance in Ning Cheng’s hand and asked.
Ning Cheng sighed and said, “Alas, the algae tendons at the bottom of that lake are almost gone, I searched for half a day and found that there were only a few of them, so I thought better of it. I found this iron spear at the bottom of the lake, it should have been thrown down by the people who fished for algae tendons in the past, so I happened to lack a weapon, so I used it.”
“So that’s it, we already have enough algae tendons. Even if we were to get this much algae tendon, we wouldn’t be able to get it back for many years. Brother Ning, you are really good at this.” Ma Ang didn’t care about Ning Cheng’s iron spear, he just looked at the large pile of algae tendons with excitement.
Ning Cheng said seemingly unintentionally, “Actually, I am also considered a half martial artist. I used to cultivate a martial art called the Splitting Tendons and Bones Hand. This kind of thing is surprisingly handy when used to pull algae Yuan tendons, even I myself didn’t expect it.”
After hearing Ning Cheng’s words, not only Ma Ang, but also the rest of the people were dumbfounded. No wonder Ning Cheng was so fast with the algae tendons and could pull them up from the roots. It turned out that he was also a martial artist and even had a tendon splitting hand.
Only Xu Yingdie and Yin Kongchan knew that Ning Cheng was talking nonsense, and that Ning Cheng was able to get up these algae tendons only because he had a dagger. However, they were also both paying attention to the rusty spear in Ning Cheng’s hand at this moment, the spear was about one and a half feet long, but both the shaft and the head of the spear were already mottled and looked as if it was rusty.
Xu Yingdie and Yin Kongchan were not people without vision, and once they took a look at the spear in Ning Cheng’s hand, they knew that it was definitely not an ordinary spear, and that the rust was not the rust on the spear.
……
Ning Cheng had gotten so many Algae Yuan Tendons up at once, so it could be said that everyone who came here had made a fortune, and they hadn’t taken any risks at all. Because of this, Ning Cheng was respected by everyone here.
The leader, Ma Ang, had placed ten bundles of algae tendons on two beast carts in order to gain Ning Cheng’s goodwill. Yin Kongchan, Xu Yingdie and the remaining two women rode in one beast cart, while Ning Cheng and the other four rode in the other beast cart. There were also two people who were dedicated to driving the carts.
After a few days of driving, Ning Cheng also got to know Aaron City during his chats with a few people.
Aaron City was surprisingly a very legalistic city, but the severity of the laws was so severe that even Ning Cheng was staggered when he heard about it.
Those who stole were to have their hands chopped off, those who robbed were to be beheaded outright, and those who stole were to be palsied ……
Not only that, in Aaron City, everything costs money, even water is bought with money. Ning Cheng was used to spending money on water, when he was on Earth, water just cost money.
From Ma’ang’s mouth, Ning Cheng also knew that the person with the greatest power in Aaron City was the City Lord. At the same time, it was absolutely impossible to offend someone from the City Lord’s Palace. Moreover, living in Aaron City, there was a hierarchy. If a noble committed a crime, they could use gold coins and other things to cover the crime. But if a commoner commits a crime, there is nothing you can do about it. In order to live on in Aaron City, Ning Cheng had even specially consulted Ma’ang for various legal details.
Probably related to Aaron City’s strict laws, these people Ning Cheng met were all very friendly. Everyone had a good chat along the way.
After the beast carriage left the desert on the tenth day, the speed picked up even more. On the thirteenth day, the majestic brown walls of Yaren City had appeared in Ning Cheng’s line of sight.
