Ning Cheng nodded honestly, “That’s right, I saved you. Your refined body had fallen into a state of unconsciousness and your Yuan Shen was lax, so if I hadn’t stepped in, you might have fallen away.”
Ning Cheng was not trying to take credit for himself, he was afraid that this woman would take whatever offense she had given her and then make a move against him. It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen this kind of thing before, back then, Nalan Ru Xue was also saved by him. How did it turn out, not only did this woman not know how to be grateful, but she had almost let her master finish him off.
“Thank you, my name is Yan Xishuang.” After this woman finished speaking, she actually stood up.
Ning Cheng had thought that he would have to nag a bit, but to his surprise, this female cultivator called Yan Xishuang did not care in the slightest. Not only that, even if he was here, she dared to stand up without an inch on her body.
Yan Xishuang did not care about Ning Cheng’s astonished gaze and gave herself a few dust removal techniques in front of Ning Cheng, before a set of clothes appeared in her hand.
Even if he felt indifferent, Ning Cheng could not stand by and watch a woman put on clothes in front of him. His notions were not yet so liberal and he could only smile awkwardly, “I’ll go first.”
In Ning Cheng’s heart, there were still some doubts. He had clearly not seen anything on this female cultivator, yet this female cultivator could take out something. The only possibility was that this female cultivator, like him, had a spatial magic treasure that could be stored in the sea of consciousness.
“Wait a moment, I don’t know your name yet.” The female cultivator was not slow in putting on her clothes, and after saying this, she had already started to tie her skirt.
“My name is Ning Cheng, so goodbye.” After Ning Cheng finished speaking, he even quickened his pace. He didn’t quite like the kind of woman like Nalan Ru Xue who would get mad without getting clear, likewise. He also did not like to talk much with this kind of woman who seemed to be very casual.
Yan Xishuang had already put on her clothes. In a light voice, she said. “You’ve already seen me, so what’s the harm in seeing me again? Do I have to get angry at you and then avoid your clothes again? Is this the only way you will think I am not a casual woman?”
Ning Cheng looked at Yan Xishuang in amazement, at this time she had a light blue dress, she looked even more out of the ordinary and aura. In a short time, her sparse yellow hair had become dense and black. Even her eyelashes had become unmistakable. He was shocked by this woman’s subtle observation, how she could guess what was in his mind from his attitude.
He could likewise see in Yan Xifeng’s eyes what was in her heart, which was only two words, hypocrisy.
Ning Cheng once again smiled awkwardly as he realised that he was indeed being a little hypocritical.
Luckily, Yan Xishuang did not continue to say this, but looked at Ning Cheng and asked in a slow voice, “Did you take away that piece of Brahma Celestial Greenstone?”
The Brahma Greenstone? Ning Cheng quickly understood what Yan Xifeng meant. The piece of lapis that was taken away by him was called the Burning Heaven Lapis, and this name sounded really powerful.
“That’s right, it was indeed me who took it away.” Ning Cheng directly admitted it. He had rescued Yan Xishuang, and this place was not far from the previous volcanic island. A sweep of divine sense could see that the volcanic island had disappeared.
Yan Xishuang did not wonder, and only took out two stone mounds. She sat on one herself, and then gestured for Ning Cheng to sit down.
Ning Cheng sat down calmly. After Yan Xishuang’s Yuan Shen had stabilised, Ning Cheng could clearly see her cultivation level, which was that of a late Eternal Realm powerhouse. Even if it was a late stage of the Eternal Realm, Ning Cheng was not afraid.
What the Brahma Lapis was, Ning Cheng did not know, he knew that it was definitely not something ordinary. Since it was not an ordinary item, when it came into his hands, he would not just hand it over. Saving Yan Xishuang’s life was to make up for this. He did not owe it to anyone else and took it with peace of mind.
Even if he didn’t take it now, he could still take it after Yan Xishuang’s fall.
A hint of complexity appeared in Yan Xishuang’s eyes as he hesitated for a while before saying, “I went to that place for the Brahma Celestial Lapis. In fact if I hadn’t refined that lapis for many years, you wouldn’t have been able to seal the lapis and take it away.”
Ning Cheng only knew that the flames emanating from this Brahma Celestite were incredibly strong, he really didn’t know that this Celestite had been refined for many years. This meant that not only was Yan Xishuang refining his body, he was also refining the lapis lazuli at the same time.
Seeing Ning Cheng’s silence, Yan Xishuang said once again, “I will offer a top grade Star Spirit Vein and ten million Heng Yuan Dan in exchange for this piece of lapis lazuli of yours, what do you think?”
After Yan Xishuang said this offer, Ning Cheng only had one thought in his heart, and that was that this woman was really rich. With so many things for him, he might be able to advance to the middle stage of the Life and Death realm, at this moment Ning Cheng was really somewhat moved.
However, he quickly thought about it, since the other party had come up with so many good things in exchange for the Brahma Lapis, it meant that the value of the Brahma Lapis was even higher than he had imagined.
“Sorry, I have a flame that needs this stone to help advance. I also like this stone very much, and I cannot choose to exchange it with you.” Ning Cheng said apologetically. From Yan Xishuang’s mouth, he knew that Yan Xishuang also had some credit for his ability to easily obtain this piece of green stone.
Seeing that Ning Cheng was unwilling to exchange, Yan Xishuang had no choice but to say, “Then can you lend me this stone for a while? I promise that I will return it to you.”
Ning Cheng laughed and smiled, this woman was really naive. They didn’t even know each other, and besides, he was still her saviour. Instead of thinking about how to repay her savior, this woman wanted to borrow something from him.
This time Ning Cheng refused without hesitation, not even bothering to say a polite euphemism, he simply said no.
“Since that’s the case, then forget it.” Yan Xishuang stood up.
Yan Xishuang walked out a few metres before stopping once again, “I have an important place to go, in this place, we may obtain countless riches and also countless treasures, I am now willing to bring you along. But since this place was discovered by me, I need to take seventy percent of the things inside.”
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “I don’t want to take advantage of you, you can just take ten percent if you go over by yourself. Farewell.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng’s body spread out and instantly rushed out of the island, quickly disappearing without a trace.
Although this woman had thanked herself for saving her life, she hadn’t seen her take out something substantial. If there were no good things, then forget it, this woman was clearly not the master of not having good things. Now she wanted to join forces with herself to go to a place with treasures, this was definitely not because she had saved her, it was most likely that she needed his help.
Needing the help of a life-saver and only giving 30% of something, it would be strange for Ning Cheng to be interested. Moreover, there was still one more place he needed to go to right now, and that was where the astral orientation sphere that Lei Junfeng had given him was located.
That place was in the Bone Devouring Sea, and it was also marked with Treasure One.
There was a word treasure, so it might be the place where the treasure was hidden. It was too late for him to go treasure hunting, so how would he join forces with others to ask for that thirty percent thing?
Seeing Ning Cheng walking so swiftly, Yan Xishuang could only sigh and said to himself, “Without the Brahma Lapis, I don’t believe I can’t enter ……”
……
Although the Bone Devouring Sea was large, it was only for ordinary cultivators. For a cultivator like Ning Cheng, who was not in danger anywhere in the Bone Devouring Sea, the Bone Devouring Sea was nothing to him.
Under the guidance of the Starry Sky Sphere’s orientation ball, Ning Cheng even did not take any detours at all. On his way to the direction where Treasure One was located, Ning Cheng encountered several sea mists. When ordinary cultivators saw such sea mists, the first thing they would do was to bypass them.
Naturally, Ning Cheng would not go around, since it was a place to store treasures, it would naturally not be so easy to find. If it was so easy to be found, then he would not have waited for him to search for it.
Even if Ning Cheng was a mid-starry body and had a starry sky orientation map, Ning Cheng’s speed slowed down after continuously breaking into the mists on the sea surface.
Two days later, Ning Cheng stopped. According to the markings on the starry sky orientation map, he had arrived at the location where Treasure One was.
To Ning Cheng’s amazement, the location where Treasure One was located was just a sea surface that was not quite the same as the surrounding area.
The reason for saying that it was not quite the same as the surrounding area was because the seawater was a dark grey colour. This dark grey seawater was a very different colour from the deep blue seawater on the periphery. Moreover, where the dark grey seawater and the dark blue seawater meet, there is a clear and distinct line, as if cut by a knife.
This was not what shocked Ning Cheng the most, what shocked him the most was that this dark grey sea was almost a foot lower than the dark blue sea outside. No matter how much the wind and waves of the sea outside were whipping up, the dark grey water was calm and waveless, and the seawater outside could not penetrate a single drop onto the dark grey water.
Not only could his divine sense not sweep into the dark grey water, it also gave him a sense of danger.
This was Treasure One? What good things could there be in here?
Ning Cheng hesitated for a moment and took out a boat he had made and threw it on this dark grey sea, he wanted to go over and take a look. Just in case, he still decided to stand on the boat first.
However, after the boat landed on the dark grey sea, it slowly sank. Ning Cheng couldn’t even believe what he saw, the boat should have been floating on the surface of the water, but now it was slowly sinking. And it was still sinking steadily in all directions, there was no overturning whatsoever, completely defying some common sense.
At this moment, Ning Cheng had no reason to recall a line from the Journey to the West, “Eight hundred miles of quicksand boundary, three thousand weak waters, goose feathers floating, reed flowers set to sink.”
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng really found a feather and threw it on the dark grey water. It turned out that this saying was really right, the lightly floating feather sank just as slowly, without a half-hearted stagnation.
“How dare you follow me?” A slightly dissatisfied voice came from Ning Cheng, and without turning around, he knew that it was Yan Xishuang who had arrived.
When Yan Xishuang did not speak, Ning Cheng’s divine sense saw her.
“Fairy Yan, I think it should only be me who says this, right?” Ning Cheng turned back and said in a faint voice.
Yan Xishuang gave a slight pause as her face reddened a little. That was right, it was clearly Ning Cheng who had arrived here first, it was only right for Ning Cheng to say this, how could it be that Ning Cheng was the one following her?
“Ah, sorry.” Yan Xishuang quickly understood what was going on, “You also know about the Three Thousand Weak Water River in the Bone Devouring Sea?”
“It’s really called the Three Thousand Weak Waters River?” Ning Cheng asked with his mouth open in some disbelief, then he asked again, “Isn’t there another name for it called the Quicksand River?”
“Quicksand River?” Yan Xishuang frowned, she had never heard of this name .
