Ning Cheng did not answer, he was completely out of the mood to answer. He had already checked his injuries, which made him understand that his meridians were inching off and his dantian was completely cracked.
Such a horrific injury, not to mention him, could not be treated even in the top places of the High Continent. To put it simply, he was already ruined. Not to mention cultivation, it would be extremely difficult to stay alive.
In the confrontation with the huge black dried up hand in the sand pit, he frantically burned his essence blood and desperately detonated several low-level magic weapons, and did manage to blast the huge black dried up hand away. But all the same, he was also blasted squarely by such a terrifying explosion. If it wasn’t for the piece of inner armour he was wearing, his body might have been blown out of shape.
The joy he felt when he had come back from the dead disappeared in an instant. A burst of pain came from his chest and he couldn’t help but cough a few times.
Ji Luofei had a delicate mind, and when Ning Cheng fell silent after he had said one sentence, followed by Ning Cheng’s constant coughing, she understood that Ning Cheng’s injuries might not be optimistic.
“Where are you planning to go?” Ji Luofei carefully asked one more question.
Ning Cheng was silent for a long time before he said, “Originally I wanted to go to the Meteorite Academy, but now I think that I want to ……”
Ning Cheng wanted to give something to Ji Luofei, so that Ji Luofei could help deliver it. Originally, Kou Hong’s stuff, Ning Cheng was saying that he would deliver it when he had the chance. However, he had been given too many chances to live because of Kou Hong’s map, and if he didn’t help Kou Hong to fulfill this last wish, he felt that it was very wrong.
He thanked Kou Hong from the bottom of his heart, the route map Kou Hong gave him looked very simple, in fact this route map was not sure how many white bones were stacked up. This kind of great kindness, he should go and repay.
But as soon as he thought of Ji Luofei being forced to kiss at the Meteorite Academy, he did not want Ji Luofei to go back to her old place.
“You don’t have to worry, there are many healing pills in the Hualu Continent, and now we still have some spirit stones, your injuries may be easily healed.” Ji Luofei comforted Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng was just about to speak when he felt the Xuanhuang Pearl in his Purple Mansion suddenly rotate, and an aura that he could not identify radiated out from the Xuanhuang Pearl, which began to reshape his meridians and dantian in the slowest form.
As this aura merged into his meridians, Ning Cheng was surprised to slowly perceive that the Xuanhuang Pearl was also gradually becoming one with him. That yellowish aura had had an impact as his mind changed.
Was this the Xuanhuang Origin?
Yes, this was definitely the Xuanhuang Origin that he had not been able to obtain before. Ning Cheng almost shouted out loud in surprise.
He thought that he would only be able to feel the Xuanhuang Origin when his cultivation level was very high, but he had never thought that he could already feel the Xuanhuang Origin when he was only at Condensed True cultivation level. If he had known that with all his meridians broken and his dantian split, he would have been able to mobilise the Xuanhuang Origin and integrate it, he might have done so a long time ago.
Cultivating in the Xuanhuang Pearl was several times faster than outside, and the reason he had never dared to enter the Xuanhuang Pearl again to cultivate before was that he was afraid that the aura of the Xuanhuang Pearl would be exposed. Even this time when he went to the Continent of Transformation, he was a little worried, fearing that some extremely high experts could see through him having the Xuanhuang Pearl inside him.
Now that the Xuanhuang Origin had been stimulated to transform and repair his meridians, when they were completely transformed, he was sure that the Xuanhuang Pearl would also become one with him and would no longer be detected.
Ning Cheng’s happiness only lasted for half a column of time before he became worried once again. According to the speed at which the Xuanhuang Origin was transforming his meridians and repairing his dantian within his body, it would take at least three months or so after all of his meridians and dantian had been transformed and repaired.
He had no qi for more than three months, so if he was in seclusion, it wouldn’t matter, but inside this great desert, what should he do?
Ji Luofei’s strength would definitely not be able to guarantee the safety of the two of them, should he now find a place in the desert to retreat and cultivate, or should he continue on his way?
Ning Cheng quickly discarded the idea of choosing a cave in the desert, it was better to search for a cave in the desert than to continue on his journey.
In a place like the Falling Thunder Desert where one could retreat for a few months, anything could happen, there was simply no safe place here. Whether one stopped or walked, it would be just as dangerous. It was better to speed up the journey, maybe two months would pa*s and they would already be out of the desert.
Seeing that Ning Cheng did not reply, Ji Luofei seemed to be able to feel Ning Cheng’s mood and secretly decided in her heart that no matter what, she would help Ning Cheng heal his injuries.
“You wait.” Just when Ji Luofei wanted to get up and continue on her way, Ning Cheng told him the direction he knew and told Ji Luofei to continue on her way according to the route he said.
……
The first thing that he did was to let the Xuanhuang Origin on his back continue to reshape his meridians and repair his dantian. Unfortunately, he was unable to intervene in this process at all, otherwise he would definitely have tried everything to make this repair process a little faster.
Along the way, apart from dodging some simple desert whirlpools and avoiding a few low-level desert demonic beasts, the two of them surprisingly did not encounter any more dangers.
As two months pa*sed, when Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei heard a faint sound of singing and then saw the yellow haze dissipate in front of them, both of them knew that the Falling Thunder Desert had been left behind them and they had walked out of it.
“The Chemical Continent is here.” Ji Luofei looked at the hazy mountains in the distance, the uncertainty she had felt had disappeared. Now that Ning Cheng was seriously injured, she had to take care of him together with Ning Cheng, so there was no need to say anything about separation at all.
Ning Cheng coughed a few times and Ji Luofei quickly patted Ning Cheng’s back, “Let’s find a place to stay first, then I will go and help you find herbs to heal your injuries.”
Ning Cheng hurriedly said, “Luo Fei, there is no need to help me look for healing herbs, I know my own injuries, in fact, I have already started healing my injuries, there is at most one and a half months left, my injuries will definitely recover.”
However, Ji Luofei did not believe Ning Cheng’s words, for two months, Ning Cheng had been coughing and his true essence had never recovered, could she believe that Ning Cheng could heal himself?
At this moment, the sound of singing in the distance was approaching, and coming over was a beast carriage. The singer was none other than the carriage driver. The carriage driver of the beast carriage drove the carriage to the side of Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei and took the initiative to stop, “Would you two like to take the beast carriage to Shapi Town? My carriage happens to be returning to Shapi Town, so if I go, I will take you guys along for the ride.”
Ji Luofei was just about to refuse, she was not walking slowly with Ning Cheng on her back, but Ning Cheng pulled her back, “We will take the beast cart to Shapi Town first, you should also rest and rest.”
Ji Luofei never refuted Ning Cheng’s words and immediately said to the carriage driver, “In that case, we will take your beast carriage to Shapi Town.”
The carriage driver hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door of the rear carriage and said, “Please come in, two of you.”
Ning Cheng was a little surprised to see that there was already a young woman inside the carriage, the coachman seemed to know Ning Cheng’s strangeness and hurriedly said, “My carriage is going to the Canopy Estate Stage at the edge of the Falling Thunder Desert, so there were very few people when I returned.”
Ning Cheng understood, so this was a turn-back cart. Just like Li Shao’s carriage back then, there was a trip that was empty.
After the coachman saw Ning Cheng and Ji Luofei sitting down, he hurriedly closed the door and once again drove the beast carriage quickly away. Generally for the people at the edge of this desert, he never negotiated the price. When these people got off, the price they gave would not be low. If he negotiated the price, not only would he make a bad impression, but he might get even less. He had been pulling carts in this area for a long time and had long known this rule.
On a good day, if he pulled just one person on the way back, he would get more gold coins than if he pulled a cart full of people on the way in.
The young woman sitting inside the carriage was dressed in a tight black suit, with a thin gauze on her face. Ning Cheng took a glance at it and saw that she had a ninth level Qi gathering cultivation. Even as she sat, one could tell that the woman had a great figure, the clothes outlined her curves extremely well, and with good skin, this was definitely a beautiful woman.
It was just that she saw that Ning Cheng still needed Ji Luofei’s help to get onto the carriage and even coughed a few times, her eyes were disdainful. When her eyes swept over to the lance that Ji Luofei was helping Ning Cheng with, that disdain became even greater. Although the lance had been wrapped in cloth, the tattered hilt was revealed and she still saw it.
Ji Luofei had never been one to talk much, and even if she had to talk, she would be talking to Ning Cheng. There was an additional woman in black inside this carriage, she just swept a glance at it and stopped paying attention. Ning Cheng, of course, would not pay attention to a woman in the same carriage either.
Although the three of them were in the same carriage, it was incredibly quiet, except for the occasional song coming from the carriage driver and the hoof beats of the one-horned stone whistling beast, there was no other sound.
