“Stop, you’re not kidding, I can’t even get out of the Daan Forest right now, how can I go to Hwachow? Sorry, you’d better get better and go by yourself.” Ning Cheng refused without hesitation, where was the Continent of Transformation, he knew it very well now. Let alone the fact that he had not yet gone out of the Great An Forest, even if he did, he would still not be able to go to the Continent of Transformation.
When this young man heard Ning Cheng’s words, anxiety appeared in his eyes and his tone became eager, “My meridians are all broken and my purple mansion is shattered, so I have absolutely no physiology. I have a map ……”
When the young man said the map, another trace of blood spilled out of the corner of his mouth, and his tone broke up.
Ning Cheng, however, had his spirits lifted, “You really have a map to get out of the Daan Forest?”
The young man obviously did not have the strength to explain anything to Ning Cheng, he just shivered and took out a leather scroll from inside his clothes and said, “The leather scroll is a map, inside it is a Qing Yun Order of the Qing Yun Five Star Academy, with this order you can enter the Qing Yun Academy, this is for you, please make sure you deliver the package to my fiancee, Meng Yu Jing… …”
After saying these words, the young man was really unable to support himself and his slightly raised head fell to the ground. When Ning Cheng heard that there was really a map, he immediately went forward and grabbed this leather scroll and said, “If I ever have the chance to go to Hualu Continent, I will definitely help you with this favor.”
Seeming to have heard Ning Cheng’s promise, the young man breathed out and died completely out of breath.
Ning Cheng’s heart was also a little gloomy, in this place, life was like a soap bubble that could easily shatter. How could this young man called Kou Hong not be a reflection of himself? If he were to die like this one day, who would he be thinking of at this moment?
Ning Ruolan’s playful and lovely face appeared before his eyes, and Ning Cheng sighed, he might not have the chance to see his sister in this lifetime.
Ning Cheng suddenly became a little sad, he did not bother to check the leather scroll and parcel that this young man gave him, he just picked this young man up and turned around to quickly leave the prickly fur bear’s territory.
Only after seeing Ning Cheng leave did the prickly-furred bear sigh with relief and turn around to return to his lair.
……
Ning Cheng returned to the Clearwater Lake, buried the young man by the lake, and simply refined a tombstone and wrote a few words on it, Kou Hong’s Tomb.
The reason why he helped Kou Hong set up a tombstone was that one was because Ning Cheng was lamenting his future in his heart, and the other was to thank Kou Hong for leaving a map for him.
Ning Cheng did not open the contents of Kou Hong’s package to look at it, but his divine thoughts had already swept it, and it seemed to be a dark wooden box, apart from that, there was a letter and a storage bag. The letter was probably written by Kou Hong to his fiancée, Meng Yu Jing, he just didn’t know why Kou Hong didn’t put everything in the storage pouch.
It seemed that Kou Hong also had no choice. If Kou Hong had a choice, he would definitely not have given these things to a stranger.
After putting the parcel away in his own storage bag, Ning Cheng took out the leather scroll map. Opening the map, he indeed saw a green-coloured token. The token was made of an unknown material, and the year already appeared to be very old. There were two words engraved on the token, ‘Qing Yun’, so I guess this token was the admission credential for the Qing Yun Five Star Academy.
Ning Cheng was not very interested in entering the academy, mainly because his spiritual roots were changing all the time, and he simply did not dare to enter the academy to test his spiritual roots repeatedly.
When Ning Cheng opened the leather scroll map, he immediately knew that he could get out. The map was simply too perfect for him, an extremely detailed route was marked out, and even the territory of several levels of demonic beasts were marked next to this route. The demonic beasts marked around the route marked on the map were only of the highest level of level two demonic beasts, and demonic beasts of this level were really no threat to Ning Cheng right now.
Not only that, there were also a large number of reference points marked on the map. Through this map, Ning Cheng knew that the area he was in belonged to the lower level of the Da’an Forest demon beasts. In a few places, there were even level five demon beasts that were still present.
This was not all of the map, there was also a part of the map that showed the walking route from the Waki Continent to the Hualu Continent. There is an endless desert between Waki Chau and Hwa Chau, and this map also has a suggested route, but there is no reference point, so you need a directional array.
Ning Cheng didn’t have a directional disk, it didn’t matter to him, he didn’t want to go to Huanzhou yet.
From the map in his hand, although the place he was in was the Da’an Forest, it was far from the depths of the Da’an Forest. It was not very far to Ping Chau from this place, on the contrary, if he went to Wuan Chau, the road was ten times further than to Ping Chau.
In Ning Cheng’s mind, he actually did not want to go back to Ping Chau, he wanted to visit Waki Chau. After all, Waki Continent was a little closer to Hua Continent, and it was also closer to the Intermediate Continent.
After much thought, Ning Cheng decided that it would be better to go to Nan Yuan City in Ping Chau first. Nan Yuan City was the capital of the Ming Yi True Kingdom, and the Ming Xin Three Star Academy was also located in this place. One of the reasons why Ning Cheng still had to risk a trip to this place was that he was somewhat unsure about An Yi. Although those people treated Anyi like a princess, that was because Anyi said that she was a pure wood spirit root. But what if An Yi tested out that she was not a pure spirit root?
He had been with Anyi for the longest time since he came here. Moreover, An Yi had the kindness of saving his life, and in his heart, he had long regarded An Yi as the closest person here. If Anyi had no one to take care of her and stayed alone in Nan Yuan City, she would end up in absolute misery.
Of course his cultivation level was still too low was also a reason, Ning Cheng wanted to go to Southern Plains City to find out if there was a way to exchange the Golden Cicada Fruit for a True Condensation Pill. If he could advance to the True Condensation realm and then pa*s through the Great An Forest, then he would be even more protected.
……
With a map and Ning Cheng being extremely familiar with the area, in just two days’ time, Ning Cheng had already walked out of the Great An Forest.
At this time, Ning Cheng was no longer the youthful boy who had just escaped from Cang Le City, and he had not shaved off his beard. The arduous journey from Cang Qin Kingdom to Da An Forest over this period of time had made Ning Cheng not look like a teenager at all, or perhaps he looked more like an adventurer who had gone through all the vicissitudes.
Outside the Da’an Forest was a rolling mountain range, Ning Cheng did not fly with his sword during the day, instead he concealed his cultivation at the fourth Qi gathering level. Even if he did tread the sword and fly, it would be at night.
It was good that An Yi was in Nan Yuan City, but Nan Yuan City was also where Lan Yin Yue was. He had a big grudge against Blue Yinyue, and with his current cultivation level he was not a match for her. The reason why he did not shave off his beard was also to make him look older. This time when he went to Nan Yuan City, he absolutely could not let his acquaintances see him.
Another day later, Ning Cheng met a group of adventurers at the edge of the Great An Forest, and from these adventurers Ning Cheng bought a map to the Ming Yi True Country.
Ning Cheng’s true qi was limited, and the intermittent sword trekking flight overnight was already exhausting enough, so it was just the right time to recover his true qi by rushing during the day.
After half a month of walking like this, Ning Cheng had arrived outside of Southern Plains City.
Ning Cheng had dressed up as an adventurer, and the fact that he had been fighting demonic beasts in the Great An Forest for a long time and had a beard made it unnecessary for him to pretend to be an adventurer at all.
Compared to Cang Le City and Mango City, Nan Yuan City was even more magnificent and ma*sive. Ning Cheng was completely unable to see just how long the walls of South Plains City were, and the huge city gates even gave off an extremely vicissitudes aura. Everywhere, it showed the long history of South Plains City.
This was still an ordinary capital of a True Country, Ning Cheng secretly wondered in his heart, if it was the place where the Nine Star Academy was located, he wondered how grand and ma*sive it should be.
The huge city gates were constantly being entered and exited, and two teams of city guards were guarding the two sides of the gates, showing that this was a place where rule was in place. On the city wall outside the gates, an extremely eye-catching bulletin was pasted. Ning Cheng swept a glance from afar, and what was written on it seemed to be about the admission to the Bright Heart Three Star Academy. There were not many people reading in front of the notice, so it was obvious that this notice had been posted for a long time.
Ning Cheng was eager to take a look at the contents of the notice, but he held back his curiosity. If he went to read the contents of the bulletin at this time, he would definitely be seen as coming here for the first time.
He merely scanned the notice and followed the many people entering the city into Southern Plains City, and when he pa*sed through the city gates, he was not questioned by the city guards.
There were even more people in Nan Yuan City than Ning Cheng had imagined, and there were crowded people almost everywhere. Compared to Cang Le City, Nan Yuan City was still considered orderly, at least no one dared to ride a unicorn wildly through the streets.
The stalls, shops, restaurants and rest houses on both sides of the various streets were all packed with people, just like a big meeting place, bustling with activity.
Ning Cheng sensed that there were mostly ordinary people on the streets, and although there were some cultivators, none of them had a very high cultivation level. He relaxed slightly, thinking that someone like Lan Yingyue, who was pretentious and extraordinary, would not come to such streets to rub shoulders with some ordinary mortals.
“What a beautiful beaded flower ……” A crisp voice caught Ning Cheng’s attention, and Ning Cheng turned around to see a young girl in an ordinary rough dress standing in front of a stall, clutching a beaded flower in her hand in awe.
When Ning Cheng’s gaze fell on the beaded flower in her hand, he was instantly shaken, and he immediately took a step forward and took another identical beaded flower from the stall in his hand.
“May I ask how much this costs?” Ning Cheng grabbed the beaded flower and looked at the stall owner and asked, while his gaze was fixed on the other beaded flower in the young girl’s hand.
These beaded flowers originally appeared in pairs, and as this cloth-skirted maiden was holding one, Ning Cheng could only get one, so of course he wanted to buy all of this pair of beaded flowers. If the maiden did not want them, he would buy them all, and if the maiden wanted them, he would ask the maiden to do him a favour and let him have them.
The reason why Ning Cheng was so excited was because not only was this pair of beaded flowers the same colour as the one he had left to his sister Ruo Lan, it was even the same shape, all in the shape of snowflakes. If one did not consider the material, this pair of bead flowers was completely indistinguishable from the pair he had purchased on Earth.
The pair of beaded flowers he had bought at the beginning had been lost by Tian Muwan, and only one was in the hands of Ning Ruolan. Wasn’t it providential that he could see a pair of identical beaded flowers again today?
