The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  For the time being, there were more and more cultivators coming forward to thank Ning Cheng, but at this time, seven or eight shadows suddenly arrived at the crowd’s periphery, “Why did all of you suddenly appear here? What exactly happened?”

  The speaker was a red-faced old man; Ning Cheng only took a single look at this old man to know that he was a Crucible Transformation Cultivator. At the same time, Ning Cheng also saw the original five cultivators that he had met before, they also had the same puzzled face as they looked at them. However, there were also faint traces of being pleasantly surprised on them.

  Although because of the sudden appearance of the ancient immortal cave, which was a cause of the deaths of more than a thousand cultivators, but at least more than half of the elites of the academies who had undertaken the assignment had survived.

  The first to come forward was also the first to come forward to thank Ning Cheng, Li Lingfan, as he gave a bow before speaking, “Reporting to Elder Yong, that ancient immortal cave contained the Life Essence of a Magical Weapon; it was that Life Essence of the magical weapon which had trapped us in there. It was in order to catch the cultivators at the Soul Essence Realm and below to devour their souls, all in order to restore its cultivation. This time, it was fortunate that Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Junior Apprentice Brother Ning was able to save us all, and even scaring the Life Essence away……”

  Although Li Lingfan had called Ning Cheng as ‘Elder Brother Ning’ previously, but referring him as ‘Junior Apprentice Brother Ning’ in front of this old man was also not contradictory. The reason he had called Ning Cheng as ‘Elder Brother Ning’ was to thank him for his life-saving grace, in other words it was to be polite to him. Calling him as ‘Junior Apprentice Brother Ning’ at this moment, was because Ning Cheng’s cultivation was lower than his was, moreover he and Ning Cheng were also not from the same the same academy.

  The few elders on hearing Li Lingfan’s words in front of them, already had many questions that they wanted to ask, but hearing the last sentence, all the people present immediately focussed their gazes on Ning Cheng’s body.

  “Were the cultivators here truly saved by you?” The Crucible Transformation Elders stared at Ning Cheng and asked in unison.

  Ning Cheng was aware that he would have to find a suitable reason to get out of this predicament.

  Now seeing all the Crucible Transformation Elders asking him the same question at the same time, he did not dare to show half a moment of neglect. He quickly stepped forward and spoke, “Yes, it was because this immortal cave had an ancient Life Essence left behind, this Life Essence could only rely on a huge cauldron to keep itself from dissipating. The rest was as Senior Apprentice Brother Li had just said; currently this Life Essence is currently far from recovering, and as such can only devour the souls of some of the cultivators with weaker cultivation to help itself heal…..”

  “Even if that was the case, this Life Essence could easily swallow the souls of all of you, so how could you save everyone?” This time that beautiful woman from the Star Gazing Mansion was staring at Ning Cheng before she asked her question.

  Ning Cheng quickly recounted the things that happened from inside the immortal cave, including the icehouse, along with the variety of real yet unreal magical weapons and pills, including a few bits about the Karma House and other things.

  “So that Life Essence was forced by Karma, and only when the cultivators tried to get their hands on the magical weapons, would it begin?” Another Crucible Transformation Cultivator asked. This Crucible Transformation Cultivator had a very pale face, and looked as if he was eternally sick. Combined with his questioning tone, it really made Ning Cheng feel uncomfortable.

  “It is just my guess; I am not very clear about the specifics myself.” Ning Cheng cautiously replied.

  The sick looking Crucible Transformation Cultivators was still staring at Ning Cheng and asked, “All the other cultivators were caught and captured, so why did you not get captured by it? Instead, how were you even able to force that Life Essence back?”

  “Because I have a 9-coloured Mirage Stone, because of which it did not make a move on me, as for that Life Essence being forced back from me, I guess that it was because it was not able to reap any Karma from me……” Ning Cheng was truly dissatisfied with the questioning tone of the other party, although he was answering carefully, but he still was feeling very uncomfortable in his heart. He had obviously rescued his people, so why would he show such an attitude against their lifesaving benefactor?

  The sick looking man gave a sneer, “A 9-coloured Mirage Stone still has such an effect? How come I didn’t know about it?”

  Ning Cheng at this time was simply too lazy to answer, just who did this guy think he was, did he think that he could pull a 2-5-8 on him, and make him look like a criminal.

  [TL Note – ‘Pulling a 2-5-8’ in a

  “Can you explain the process of you using the Mirage Stone in detail, or is it that you do not want to reveal the rest of the secret?” The sick looking Crucible Transformation Cultivator was clearly not satisfied with Ning Cheng’s answer, causing his tone to turn even more severe.

  Ning Cheng finally could not hold back his temper anymore, as he immediately gave a sneer and spoke, “Just who in the hell are you? Why do you want to hover over my head so much? I am from the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, and had come here to rescue my fellow sect members; I did not expect that there would be a few supercilious white wolves that would be so ungrateful with it. What does it matter as to what method I used, it is none of your business, if I am not willing to say it to you then what will you be able to do?”

  He did not know which academy did this sick looking man belonged to, but he was sure that from the people that he had ended up saving; a few were definitely disciples from his academy. It was fine if this person had not thanked him for it, but relying on his own high cultivation to question him in such a manner. Wanting to ask him about his secret? Stop dreaming.

  “Little bastard, it seems you have a death wish…..” The sick looking man was now completely overflowing with a murderous aura, as he raised his hand to catch Ning Cheng.

  At this moment, Ning Cheng immediately felt the space around him seal up, even if he wanted to move he would not even be able to twitch his finger. Ning Cheng could not help but give out a dark sigh in his heart, the gap between their cultivations was simply too huge.

  “Bang” At the same time, another hand stretched out, blocking the hand of the sick looking man from grabbing Ning Cheng. The surging true essence had even blasted open a huge crater at a distance.

  “Since when did the disciples from my Rainbow Fall Sword Sect need disciplining from your Red Star Sword Faction? Did your Red Star Sword Faction think that it had unified the entire Tian Continent under its name?” A disdainful and contemptuous voice arrived, allowing Ning Cheng to guess it right, that it was the voice belonging to Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Elder Bei who had made a move to save him.

  “So, for this kind of impudent little Profound Core beast, what’s wrong in me trying to teach him some manners? Bei Youfa, don’t you think that you are just trying to protect your shortcomings a bit too much?” The sick looking man was still quite indignant.

  Ning Cheng gave a sneer, “Old beast, you are just too young to be posturing in front of this young grandpa; you really should not take yourself too seriously. I might not know what kind of academy is this Red Star Sword Faction, but with such ungrateful garbage like you in it, I simply do not need to think about it. Not to say that even if this grandpa had no secret, even if I did have a secret, did you really think that I would spill it out to an old bastard like you? Why don’t you tell me your secrets then? Idiot, doesn’t this mean that you are just a dog living in an old man’s body…”

  This sick looking man had an extremely strong cultivation, although it was countless times stronger than Ning Cheng’s, he could sti
ll not escape his cursing and rebuttals, even if he was a thousand times stronger than what he already was, he would still not be Ning Cheng’s opponent in this field. Being scolded in such a manner by Ning Cheng, he simply could not help but suddenly break out in anger, while at the same time his face also turned even paler.

  However, he also knew that with Bei Youfa here, he absolutely would not be able to do anything to Ning Cheng.

  Although Bei Youfa was a bit happy and also melancholic in his heart at the same time, he still showed a calm face on the surface as he spoke to Ning Cheng, “Ning Cheng, although some people are in need of scolding, but not only is your cultivation a bit too low, but you also have a bit of an etiquette problem. In the future, if you have a chance, then be sure to visit the Red Star Sword Faction to explain to them clearly. Ok.”

  “Yes, I understand.” Ning Cheng also knew about when to quit when ahead. The reason why he was cursing aloud in such a manner was not just for shutting up a single person, but rather shutting the mouths of the rest of the Crucible Transformation Cultivators too, it was also to prevent these Crucible Transformation Cultivators to question him one by one.

  In addition, once he got back to the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, and received his reward, he would then be able to once again enter the Small Spiritual Domain to cultivate. As to what happened on the outside, it did not matter to him.

  “Fellow Dao friends, you can judge for yourself, for a little Profound Core ant to be so uncultured and uneducated…..” The sick looking man from the Red Star Sword Faction was obviously someone who would not be able to calm down easily.

  “Okay, okay, everyone let’s just take a step back. This is not a great matter to be pondered upon by all of us, it is obvious that Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Ning Cheng has expended great efforts, and was able to save so many elite disciples of our academies, as such we should really not interrogate him like a prisoner.” A slightly lean looking cultivator came forward and spoke.

  The rest of the few Crucible Transformation Cultivators also came forward and helped Ning Cheng with a few words, Ning Cheng had truly saved many of the elite disciples, and as such how could the elders be not happy with it?

  Although these elders had a few suspicions about Ning Cheng’s words, but none of them continued to ask Ning Cheng about how he was able to withstand the temptations. Not only that, they even came forward to invite Ning Cheng to visit their respective academies as an esteemed guest.

  Whether it was a bona fide invitation with good intentions, or invitations with bad intentions, Ning Cheng still refused them one by one with politeness. His strength was already very lacking, but now that he had accumulated enough contributions, it gave him exactly what he needed, and that was cultivation time. So why would he waste his time to visit other academies or even go out looking for danger?

  Although the major academies did not get any benefits, but at least the situation with the ancient immortal cave was finally resolved, moreover they also did not lose the elite disciples of their academy. At the same time, they also finally became aware of the existence of such an immortal cave, but this ancient immortal cave was not something to be taken casually, as not anyone could take away the things inside it.

  Ning Cheng and the other disciples from the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect followed the Crucible Transformation Elder Bei Youfa back to the academy. This time there were no Soul Essence Disciples that perished from the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, but among the disciple below the Soul Essence Realm, there were only two remaining, Liang Kexin and Feng Zhen.

  “Junior Apprentice Brother Ning, we were not able to get the chance to thank you properly before, this time we finally found the chance to come thank you. If not for your words back then, then let alone we True Inheriting Disciples and the Core Disciple, but rather none of the rest would have been able to come back.” Seeing Ning Cheng and Liang Kexin chat with each other along the way, Que Hongshui and Luo Ziyan deliberately spoke out in a loud voice and specifically thanked Ning Cheng in front of everyone there.

  “We are all disciples of the same academy, it’s just a trivial matter nothing to speak about.” Ning Cheng quickly spoke up in a polite manner, he was well aware that he needed the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect for a long time for his cultivation, as such if he could make a few friends along the way, then of course he would not mind it.

  Luo Ziyan smiled and spoke up, “It might be a trivial thing for you, but it is not a trivial matter for us. Anyways, in the future if you are in need of any kind of help within the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect, you can always come to the Feiyan Sword Peak to find me.”

  Just as Luo Ziyan finished speaking, she immediately came forward and handed a gold coloured jade card to Ning Cheng and spoke, “I had heard from Junior Apprentice Sister Hanrui that you want to spend time in the Small Spiritual Domain for cultivation. I have a cultivation jade card worth a month, you can have it.”

  Ning Cheng had only spoken in a perfunctory manner, but now Luo Ziyan had come up with a cultivation jade card for the Small Spiritual Domain, he couldn’t help but feel surprised with it, but nevertheless he still quickly took the jade card and said, “Many thanks Senior Apprentice Sister Ziyan, I really was lacking in this kind of jade cards. Having a low cultivation truly is not a good thing……”

  He would definitely not think that he should not take this jade card, being rewarded by a jade card for a life-saving grace would definitely not be excessive.

  On seeing this, Que Hongshui also quickly removed a cultivation jade card of the Small Spiritual Domain and handed it to Ning Cheng and spoke, “I have seen that you have quite a few good things, as such I really was raking my brains all along on how to thank you. I truly did not know that you liked these kinds of jade cards, I also have a gold one with me which is equivalent to a month’s…”

  “I have one too…..”

  ……

  In just a short period of time, Ning Cheng was able to gather four cultivation jade cards for the Small Spiritual Domain, although they were all for a month each, but all of them added up to a full four months. Ning Cheng couldn’t help but feel ecstatic in his heart, he had not yet gone to receive the rewards from the academy, when he had already acquired four jade cards as such once he finally went to collect the reward he knew that it definitely would be a hugely abundant harvest.

  Because of being rewarded with the jade cards, Ning Cheng also couldn’t help but be impressed by the Senior Apprentice Brothers and Senior Apprentice Sisters who he had saved. At least these people were not like those crafty fellows from the Law’s Way. Moreover there was also a common language between each other, causing him to feel even more joy the more they talked.

  At the same time, the more time Ning Cheng spent talking to these people from the same sect, the more information he was able to learn about the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect.

  Not only cultivating in the Small Spiritual Domain was much better than the outside, but also at the same time, the deeper one could go, the better it would prove for them. Moreover, you also had to find a place by yourself; Ning Cheng realized that these places were actually similar to the blue stone that he had selected initially. There was a variety of such stones in the Small Spiritual Domain. Once you found a stone that was most suitable for you in absorbing sp
iritual qi, then it might just end up as a huge blessing for you.

  However, the cultivation jade card for the Small Spiritual Domain was also something very precious; as such only, a handful of the cultivators would spend much time on trying to find such stones. That was because even if you sat down in any place to cultivate, it would still turn out to be countless times faster than the outside.

  However, the most important information that he was able to gleam was that one could not endlessly cultivate in the Small Spiritual Domain. That was because the spiritual qi in the Small Spiritual Domain was heavily yang oriented in nature, and once you ended up cultivating to a certain degree, you must stop your cultivation practice temporarily. Otherwise, the Yang Qi would burn your body from the inside out, killing you in the most miserable of manner.

  Hearing this news, Ning Cheng immediately asked, “But I had gone inside to cultivate for three months, how come I did not feel anything?”

  Que Hongshui laughed and spoke, “It necessary to cultivate to a certain extent for such a phenomenon to manifest, your cultivation of Profound Core Realm is still not up to par. It is not just you but even we might not experience anything like this, only those at the Soul Sculpting Realm and above would be able to have a clear feeling about it.”

  Ning Cheng finally came to understand, no wonder he did not see any of those powerful figures cultivating inside the Small Spiritual Domain. There was actually such an after effect that would come into play in the future.

  “Then what is the solution for this?” Ning Cheng quickly asked. He had joined the Rainbow Fall Sword Sect only for the Small Spiritual Domain. Now that he found that cultivating in the Small Spiritual Domain was equivalent to risking one’s life, wasn’t it just awful?
