“Xu Anzhen is Xu Yingdie’s ancestral grandmother and the person with the highest cultivation level in the Zhangyi Dao Sect, even in the entire Yixing Continent, I am afraid that there is no one with a higher cultivation level than her.” Shi Qiong Hua’s tone was calm, she could not hear any hatred, but Ning Cheng could hear a kind of sadness hidden deep inside her heart from her words.
When he understood what Shi Qiong Hua meant and knew that Xu Anzhen was Xu Yingdie’s ancestral milk, Ning Cheng was instantly frozen. Shi Qiong Hua was from the Zhangyi Dao Sect and was Xu Yingdie’s master, so why did Xu Yingdie’s ancestral milk want to suppress Shi Qiong Hua’s divine soul? Was it just because Shi Qiong Hua did not cultivate the Zhangyi Dao Sect’s techniques?
“I don’t cultivate the Zhangyi Dao Sect’s merit method, so technically speaking, I’m not from the Zhangyi Dao Sect either. I am in the Zhan Eros Dao Sect because part of my Yuan Shen was suppressed by Xu An Zhen and I am not even half capable of resisting. Over the years I have helped the Chopping Emotions Daoist Sect with many things, and wherever Xu Yingdi goes, I have to protect it.”
Teacher Qiong Hua wandered off a little here, and only continued after a while, “Rather than saying that I am Ying Die’s master, I would rather say that I am her guardian. Although Xu Anzhen’s cultivation level is extremely high, her soul is injured and her physical body is very damaged, so her strikes are also affected. My Yuan Shen is strong and pure, and she suppressed my Yuan Shen because she wanted to take it for her own use.
Once she has recovered to a certain extent, she will devour that part of my primordial spirit and then control me to return to the Daoist sect of Zeng Eros and become her tonic to perfect her primordial spirit. With her ability, I think she must have about a year to go before she can devour the part of my Yuan Shen that has been suppressed. If she can find something like the Nine Yin Marrow of the Earth’s Heart, it might only take half a year or even less.”
“This old pious woman.” Even though Ning Cheng’s mind had settled down by now, he still couldn’t help but break into curses. He thought that Shi Qionghua had really reached the end of her lifespan, but it turned out that she had been suppressed by this old thing Xu Anzhen, who was suppressing her Yuan Shen and even had to devour Shi Qionghua’s Yuan Shen.
Shi Qionghua said calmly, “She doesn’t look old.”
“It’s true that what kind of ancestor has what kind of seed. I even almost fell in love with Xu Yingdie, damn it.” Ning Cheng cursed angrily, while sweating beyond belief at his own heart nature. Even if his cultivation level was only Xuan Dan, he would definitely have to go to the Xuan Emotion Dao Sect to steal out part of Shi Qiong Hua’s suppressed Yuan Shen.
After hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Shi Qiong Hua shook her head and said, “Xu Yingdie will not double cultivate with you, even if you are moved to do so, it is useless. I have brought her for twenty years, no one knows her better than me.”
“But that morning, she stripped herself naked to my bed, and if Yin Kongchan hadn’t interrupted, all of them would have been double-cultivating already.” Ning Cheng said in confusion.
Teacher Qiong Hua took out a jade slip and placed it in front of Ning Cheng, “The Zhan Eros Daoist Sect wants to cut through love, and when they meet someone with a strong heart, they will definitely cast the Love Entanglement Silk. You will unknowingly be infected by her, even in the smaller the matter the deeper the infection will be. This is the Love Entangling Silk Technique jade slip, it is not easy to cultivate this technique.
But after successful cultivation, it is simply undetectable when you perform it, and does not require any mana fluctuations. Just reveal a little something that makes your heart flutter, or words, or skin movements, or even the breath around you, and the scent of your body, can also infect your desire.”
Ning Cheng immediately recalled the two times he and Xu Yingdie ** came together, and it seemed that there were scents that he usually didn’t notice, as well as the skin tone that Xu Yingdie unknowingly revealed. It turned out that he had unknowingly fallen for Xu Yingdie’s love entanglement silk and had not even known about it. It was no wonder that when he faced Yin Kongchan, who was half as good as Xu Yingdi, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of emotion. Why doesn’t this woman go to a brothel?
“You don’t let me go to the Zhan Eros Dao Sect because you know that I will definitely not come back if I go, right?” Ning Cheng finally understood what Shi Qiong Hua meant.
Master Qiong Hua wanted him not to go to the Zhangyi Dao Sect, not for Xu Yingdie, but for him.
Seeing that Ning Cheng understood her meaning, Teacher Qiong Hua did not hide it and responded, “Yes, if you go to the Zhan Eros Dao Sect, you will be in a situation where you will die ten times without any chance of survival, there will be no luck.”
“Fortunately, I did not give the Mirage Tree and the Nine Yin Marrow of the Earth’s Heart to Xu Yingdie, otherwise wouldn’t this have harmed you even more?” Ning Cheng said thankfully, Xu Yingdie had asked him for such things back then, but fortunately he did not give them.
“Do you really have the Mirage Tree?” Shi Qionghua asked, she had been numbed by Ning Cheng’s various secrets. She had quite a few secrets too, but compared to Ning Cheng, her secrets were not secrets at all. At best, there was a reincarnation heritage.
“Yes, I have a Nine Coloured Mirage Tree, if it is useful to you, I will give it to you.” Ning Cheng said without hesitation.
When Teacher Qiong Hua looked at Ning Cheng’s unconcerned look, her heart jumped slightly. Her cultivation level was high, but all along, she had been cultivating on her own under gaps and threats. Otherwise, with her heritage and qualifications, she would have been able to reach a much higher level than she did now.
She had no friends, no sisters, and no particularly happy times. Whenever she came out of seclusion, her favourite thing to do was to quietly go to some ordinary cities to help those who were poor. But she had never enjoyed the help of others, nor had she ever thought of going to get help from them.
This time, asking Ning Cheng for a mirage stone was not planned, but after it really happened, she still preferred to use her body to save Ning Cheng in return, rather than going to kill him and rob him hard. At this moment, Ning Cheng suddenly said that he would give her the Mirage Tree, causing her to be in a bit of a trance.
It took her a while to come back to her senses, “No, the Mirage Tree is very good, but my cultivation level is too low. On the contrary, that Xu Anzhen can indeed use the Mirage Tree.”
Ning Cheng was secretly thanking Yin Kongchan for taking away his ring, if Yin Kongchan hadn’t taken away his ring, would Xu Yingdi have been able to let go of his Small World Ring in the end?
“Is that Earth Heart Nine Yin Marrow of use to you?” Ning Cheng took out another jade bottle.
An icy, bone-chilling aura instantly surrounded the cave, and Shi Qiong Hua immediately knew that this was indeed the Nine Yin Marrow of the Earth’s Heart.
“This is useful to me, but it’s not very useful either. My Yuan Shen is suppressed by Xu An Zhen, and as long as that trace of Yuan Shen is still suppressed by her, I will be under her control for a day. Going to the Heavenly Path is just my helplessness, and even if I enter the Heavenly Path without dying, I may still be under her suppression.” Teacher Qiong Hua shook her head and pushed the Earth Heart Nine Yin Marrow to you Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng pushed this bottle of Earth Heart Nine Yin Marrow to Shi Qionghua again, “Senior Sister Qionghua, you take it, I have two bottles.”
After a slight hesitation, Shi Qionghua took out a jade bottle and poured a third of it from Ning Cheng’s bottle before returning the remaining two thirds to Ning Cheng, “This item is incredibly precious and extremely difficult to get, this much for me is enough, keep the rest for yourself.”
Ning Cheng didn’t push it any further, and after putting the item away, he didn’t say anything more. In his mind, he was thinking about how to go to the Zhangyi Dao Sect and get back the trace of Shi Qiong Hua’s subdued Yuan Shen.
Seeing Ning Cheng’s silence, Shi Qionghua took out a white jade bracelet and handed it to Ning Cheng saying, “This was left to me by my mother, give it to sister Luo Fei.”
Ning Cheng took the bracelet with surprise, “Senior Sister Qiong Hua, you don’t blame me anymore?”
Master Qionghua smiled faintly, “I have never blamed you.”
Ning Cheng looked at Shi Qiong Hua in a daze, he had never seen such a beautiful smile before.
Shi Qiong Hua stood up, she had come back again and after talking to Ning Cheng about these things, her heart suddenly felt much more comfortable.
“I am leaving, do not miss me.” Master Qiong Hua’s figure was much more relaxed this time as she walked out.
Ning Cheng could feel that Shi Qiong Hua was determined to go, so he did not stay, he just silently watched Shi Qiong Hua go far away. No matter what, he had to go to the Zhangyi Dao Sect and retrieve the trace of Shi Qionghua’s subdued spirit. This was the kind of thing that he had to do even though he knew he would die.
He did not tell Shi Qionghua either, knowing that if he did, Shi Qionghua would never let him go, and would worry her in vain. If he died without Shi Qionghua knowing, he would pretend that nothing had happened. Consort Luo had the white-haired old crone to look after her, and he had made a special request to Sister Shu, who would surely find her. With Sister Shu’s skills, Consort Luo would not suffer. Apart from Consort Luo, there was no one else he should think about.
This time, Ning Cheng did not continue to leave the place, after he finished rearranging the formations outside, he directly set up the Spirit Gathering Formation and began to cultivate.
……
Ning Cheng’s cultivation level had already been completely loosened up, and now that he had started cultivating, in just half a month’s time, he had rushed to XuanDan Perfection.
In order to avoid the thunderstorm blasting his and Shi Qionghua’s dwelling into pieces, Ning Cheng put away the things here and concealed this cave again.
He was ready to find a place to cross the tribulation and advance to the Origin Soul Realm.
Three days later, Ning Cheng stopped at an empty wilderness. After checking that there was no one in the area, Ning Cheng began to set up a large spirit gathering formation. Tens of millions of spirit stones were piled up in the middle of the Spirit Gathering Formation by Ning Cheng, like a small mountain.
Ning Cheng had just completed his XuanDan, and even though his base was not shallow, he could not be like Xu Yingdie, who had been promoted by Xuan Eros, and could attract lightning tribulations at any time on the ground.
Only after cultivating for a week again did Ning Cheng swallow the Soul Condensation Pill. The powerful elixir aura and the thick aura from the Spirit Gathering Formation gathered together like a long dragon of aura, instantly pulsing through Ning Cheng’s entire body’s meridians and charging directly towards the layer of separation at the Yuan Soul Realm cultivation level.
Unlike the previous advancement, this was the first time Ning Cheng had felt the gap between his cultivation levels. It was like a huge door that he usually didn’t even touch, but now, with the combination of the Soul Condensation Pill and the dense Spiritual Qi, he directly rushed to the top.
“Boom ……”
A boom rang out in the sea of consciousness as if an iron cone had blasted into Ning Cheng’s heart, and Ning Cheng, who was so hard pressed, spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot.
This blast had indeed hit the door of the cultivation barrier, and the door of the cultivation barrier only trembled for a moment before returning to its original state once again. It reminded Ning Cheng of striking a stone with an egg, and what he was doing now seemed to be striking a stone with an egg.
Ning Cheng’s heart sank, if he continued in this manner of impacting his cultivation, he would definitely not be able to advance to the Yuan Soul realm by relying on this one Soul Condensation Pill. He also knew that there was a thunderstorm coming down for him to advance to Yuan Soul, and for this reason he had purposely worn a set of protective armour.
However, this first impact could not even shake the door of the cultivation barrier, so it would be strange if such a thunderbolt could come down.
No, he absolutely had to take this opportunity to shock the Yuan Soul before he could go to the Chopping Emotion Dao Sect, otherwise his chances of surviving were even slimmer.
After understanding this, Ning Cheng acted as if he had gone crazy, countless auras were swept in by him and at the same time turned into aura true essence, which, together with the medicinal properties of the Soul Condensation Pill, blasted at the cultivation gap again and again.
Even a single blast like this made Ning Cheng vomit blood, not to mention such a desperate blast one after another.
