“There is such a thing, in which the Tai Shang Shuang Elder of my Fallen Rainbow Sword Sect even fell.” Ning Cheng thought that Temperance knew who had done it, and did not hide it.
“It’s actually true that there are spirit veins in Gai Zero Mountain.”
While speaking, Temperance’s eyes looked at Ning Cheng, and when she saw Ning Cheng’s calm expression, she asked with some suspicion, “You know about this?”
Ning Cheng smiled, “The Supreme Elders of my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect are not idiots either, if it was a fake spirit vein, could my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect produce four Supreme Elders?”
“That’s also true, in fact many people know that the Gai Zero Mountain Spiritual Vein is real, but no one has ever been able to know where this Spiritual Vein is. Gai Zero Mountain stretches out for millions of miles and is one of the three major mountain ranges in the Heaven Continent. Coupled with the fact that Mount Gai Zero was filled with natural forbidden systems and demonic beast caves, it was definitely not easy to find a spiritual vein that was hidden by a natural formation.” Temperance nodded and said.
“Then I wonder what Senior Sister Temperance is looking for me to do?”
“This time, someone can find the general location of the spirit vein in Gai Zero Mountain, and when the time comes, there will be many people grabbing for it, so I hope to work with Sovereign Ning to get a piece of the pie.”
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “Senior Sister Temperance, I am only an early stage cultivator of the Sea Breaking Realm, and you are only a first level cultivator of the Sea Breaking Realm, which is even lower than me. Even if I could take out an ordinary Cultivator of the Sea-forming Realm, do you think we would be able to snatch the spirit veins from so many people? Besides, there should be quite a few of your Big Easy Island Cultivators who have transformed into Tripods, right? Even though I’ve always treated Senior Sister Tan as a friend, though I don’t quite believe that Senior Sister Tan trusts me more than she trusts the Great Yi Island Transformation Cultivators.”
Ning Cheng didn’t have anything to hide, this was already the truth, even if he was powerful, he was only equivalent to a Transformation Tripod cultivator. There were definitely cultivators on Big Easy Island who were more powerful than him, would Temperance give up the easy for the hard, rather than give him the benefit? So he didn’t even bother to ask who could find the location of the spirit veins.
As if he knew that Ning Cheng had such thoughts, Fanyun sighed and said, “I didn’t want to say much about the matters within the sect, if my father was still in the sect, this time even if the Red Star Sword Faction was more ruthless and Jiang Jun’s backers were more powerful, my Big Easy Island would still make the Red Star Sword Faction hand over Jiang Jun. Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to make them listen to me, I can only rely on myself. Besides, a spirit vein was obtained by the clan’s Elder Hua Ding, which ……”
When Temperance did not continue, Ning Cheng already understood what the other party meant. There was ironclad evidence that Jiang Jun had killed Tan Yun’s sister, Tan Yushan, and the fact that the Big Easy Island was still unable to get the Red Star Sword Sect to hand over Jiang Jun meant that there must be something odd inside. The fact that Temperance’s cultivation level was too poor and the clan hadn’t reached an agreement meant that there was nothing she could do on her own.
Once Temperance had asked the clan elders to step in and seize the spirit vein, let alone whether the vein could be obtained, even if it could be obtained, it would probably be part of the clan’s share. If Temperance wanted to take revenge herself, this spiritual vein would have to be obtained by her.
Fanyun’s words made Ning Cheng a little disappointed, he had expected to seek help from the Big Easy Island when he attacked the Red Star Sword Sect in the future, but he did not expect the Big Easy Island to be so weak.
If someone from the Red Star Sword Sect had killed a disciple of the Lok Hong Sword Sect and the evidence was conclusive, Ning Cheng would definitely want the Red Star Sword Sect to hand over the person. Even if the other party did not hand over, he would still publicly release a statement that he would destroy the Red Star Sword Sect in the future.
Compared to that, the Big Easy Island was indeed weak. It was no wonder that Temperance had to force herself to advance to the first level of the Sea-disrupting Realm. If she wanted to avenge her sister, she could indeed only rely on herself.
Seeing that Ning Cheng was a little disappointed, Temperance continued, “Your cultivation level is higher than mine, equivalent to a Cultivator of Transformation, this time I will provide the information and you will contribute the main force. No matter how many spirit veins you get, you can just share a third of it with me.”
“I understand, tell me who can find the spirit veins and how do you know about it?” Ning Cheng had already planned to join forces with Temperance in his heart. Temperance wasn’t really greedy, just a third. If she wanted to share it equally, Ning Cheng would not agree.
“I can’t tell you how I know, I can only tell you that the one who made the move was the number one Formation Master of the Heaven Continent, Wu Mao. This time, he was approached by three Cultivators of the Transformation Cauldron, and they are going to join forces to find the spirit veins, and when they find them, they will divide them into five shares, with Wu Mao taking two shares. We’ll cooperate, just follow them.” Temperance said with certainty.
“Good, I agree, when will we set off?” Ning Cheng could see that Temperance was not lying, every word was true.
Ning Cheng also knew of this person, Wu Mao, who was indeed the number one formation master in the Heaven Continent, he had heard that he could set up level nine formations, and he was also extremely strong, with a cultivation of the fourth level of the Transformation Tripod.
“Let’s leave now, then hide in Gai Zero Mountain, when the few people from Wu Mao arrive, we will just follow carefully.” Temperance said without hesitation.
……
Gai Zero Mountain, the mountain is as its name suggests, the endless stretches of the mountain range cover up almost everything.
Some scattered cultivators were searching for some low-level demonic beasts and spiritual herbs at the edge of Gai Zero Mountain, and from time to time, a roar of beasts came from inside the deep mountain range. Ning Cheng’s divine sense was also greatly compromised in such places.
Only after Ning Cheng arrived here did he understand why the top cultivators could not even find a single spirit vein, it was indeed very difficult to find a spirit vein in this place.
Temperance had obviously come to Gai Zero Mountain not once and was very familiar with the place, leading Ning Cheng around for most of the day without meeting a single demonic beast that blocked the way.
“We’ll hide here.” Temperance said as she stopped next to a large area of thorns.
“How did you know they would come here? Gai Zero Mountain is too big in circumference, so in case they don’t meet here, wouldn’t we be working in vain?” Ning Cheng asked in confusion.
“They will definitely rendezvous here, and the information I got was at the entrance to Meng Gorge. Ahead of us is the entrance to Meng Gorge, our cultivation level is slightly inferior, so we can only hide our breath here, we can’t get too close.”
After saying that, Temperance took out another pill and handed it to Ning Cheng, “This is a Shape-Changing Pill, it can change one’s appearance and scent within twelve hours. This elixir is rare, once they are looking for the spirit veins, we go up and grab them and leave, you only need to stop them for ten breaths of time and I will be sure to intercept some of the spirit veins and then rendezvous at the agreed place.”
The Ease of Form Pill was a rank seven pill, which was precious to Tangyun, but Ning Cheng had a bottle inside his storage ring. However, he still put away Temperance’s Shape Shifting Pill, “Did you use a talisman to escape?”
Temperance nodded, “Yes, I could only walk away alone. I believe that once the spirit veins appear, they will inevitably focus on them and will not surround you, and this is the best time for you to escape. Of course, you can also quit now if you feel you are not sure.”
“No need, I agree. Since I share more spirit veins, it’s only right that I take more risks.” Ning Cheng said without hesitation, he had the Heavenly Fortune Twin Wings, if he couldn’t escape even if he was surrounded by several Cultivators of the Transformation Tripod, he might as well go and buy a piece of tofu.
……
As Ning Cheng and Temperance concealed their scent and hid under the thorns, the surroundings once again returned to calm and there was no sound. A day passed in this way, not a single figure came through the Meng Gorge that Temperance said, and even the demonic beasts did not pass by here.
The second day and the third day passed, Ning Cheng was not in a hurry. Even if he had to hide for thirty days, it would not matter to him. However, Temperance could not help himself, it was reasonable to say that someone would come over on the second day, but now three or four days had passed, could it be that they had come late and that the Wu Mao people had left long ago?
When she was about to transmit a voice to Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng made a gesture to her, and Temperance hurriedly stopped the transmission and concealed her breath. She soon discovered that there was once again an additional layer of concealing aura on the outside of her body. She immediately knew that this was because Ning Cheng did not believe in her concealment technique and had helped her add a layer of concealment aura.
Ning Cheng indeed did not believe in Tangyun’s concealment technique, this place was very close to Meng Gorge and Tangyun’s aura was somewhat spilling out, he did not want to fight with four Cultivators of the Transformation Tripod.
A few breaths later, two figures landed at the entrance of the Meng Gorge. After these two figures landed, their divine sense swept out instantly.
Feeling the powerful divine sense, Ning Cheng secretly said in his heart that it was a close call, fortunately he had helped Temperance add a layer of concealment. At this moment, he did not bother to observe the appearance and cultivation of these two cultivators, even though he believed that his divine sense would not be discovered, he did not want to do such a meaningless thing. To observe when the other party’s attention was focused, in case they were discovered, would be a lost cause.
These two divine senses obviously didn’t care much, sweeping past the large area of thorns where Ning Cheng and Temperance were and quickly retracted. These two did not have to wait long before another figure came over. The three of them muttered a few words together, and only after an incense stick had passed did the fourth figure land.
After the four had gathered and discussed just a few words, they instantly entered the Mon Gorge.
Ning Cheng did not immediately follow them, but instead transmitted a voice to Temperance, “Later, you should follow behind me and not go beyond ten steps, at the same time, you should not use your divine sense to follow the four people in front of you, leave the tracking to me.”
In fact, Ning Cheng wanted very much to let Temperance go now and he would follow alone, but he also knew that Temperance would not go. People didn’t trust him that much yet.
“Okay, I know.” Temperance replied without hesitation, and in her heart she was secretly glad that she had asked Ning Cheng to help her. She still overestimated her concealment technique and cultivation level, without Ning Cheng taking care of her, even if she hid here undetected, she would not be able to track the four people in front of her.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense was extremely careful, even though he was only at the third level of cultivation at the Sea Breaking Realm, his divine sense was not the divine sense of the Sea Breaking Realm. Not only that, but because of the Xuanhuang Invisible Technique, his divine sense could be equally invisible and disembodied. Stalking the four Cultivators of the Cultivation Realm would not be a problem as long as he was careful.
What surprised Ning Cheng was that one of these four people was someone he knew, a beautiful woman, Sang Xiezhu of Piaosue Palace. This Sang Xiezhu was said to be the Seventh Palace Master of the Drifting Snow Palace, and the woman who had gone to the Zhangyue Dao Sect to help him negotiate a marriage for Yin Kongchan to marry her.
The other three, a middle-aged, bearded cultivator, were at the sixth level of cultivation. A short, thin man with a fifth level of cultivation. The fourth person was the one who attracted Ning Cheng’s attention the most, a red-faced cultivator holding a compass in his hand, with a fourth level of cultivation. Judging from this man’s hand gestures and the constant throwing of formation flags, Ning Cheng guessed that he must be the number one formation master in the Heaven Continent, Wu Mao.
