The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  Zhangsun Yan had indeed been quite vocal in showing her support for Ning Cheng. Moreover, the reason why she acted like a complete stranger towards Nalan Ruxue was also due to Ning Cheng.

  Nalan Ruxue looked at Yan Ji in surprise; she had always thought that Yan Ji regarded Ning Cheng with a particular fondness; after all, Ning Cheng had saved her life. But from her words, Nalan Ruxue could feel it, that Yan Ji’s feeling was most likely not because Ning Cheng rescued her, but because she genuinely had genuine feelings towards Ning Cheng.

  Seeing Yan Ji and Zhangsun Yan go in together, Bei Xingjin’s complexion turned ugly to look at. However, he did not choose to leave. Instead, he paid the required Spirit Stones and followed them to enter the Cultivator Exchange Main Hall. Nalan Ruxue, who was wealthier compared to Yan Ji, obviously would also not choose to miss this opportunity and immediately also followed.

  The female cultivator guarding the entrance knew that these cultivators from the Le Continent might know each other mutually. Nevertheless, not knowing whether it was because of Yan Ji’s Blood River Red Lotus or for Yin Kongchan’s sake, or even because of Ning Cheng, she unexpectedly did not choose to ask the other cultivators to come up with a treasure. As long as they were able to pay the 50,000 Spirit Stones for the entrance fees, they could enter the Cultivator Exchange Main Hall.

  Because some of the cultivators took a fancy to Nalan Ruxue and Yan Ji’s appearance, they also impatiently made their way to enter the Main Hall to meet Nalan Ruxue and Yan Ji before they joined the Major Academies. They knew that afterwards, they might not have the chance to even speak a few words with them.

  That Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s cultivator at the 1st Level of Soul Essence Realm seemed to realise that Yan Ji and the others not only knew Ning Cheng but also had some relationship with Ning Cheng. Therefore, he chose to deliberately accompany them and then started making way for them over the spacious alleys of the Main Hall while pointing towards particular locations while speaking, “See that, that place is the Battle Ring where Senior Apprentice Brother Ning and that Red Star Sword Faction’s Ding Liang fought. That Ding Liang’s cultivation turned out to higher when compared to Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, yet he ended up completely crushed by Senior Apprentice Brother Ning. Not only did he not last even a single round, but Senior Apprentice brother Ning even dug out his Golden Core, and then…..”

  That person started explaining the things that Ning Cheng did in the past in vivid detail. The few cultivators from the Le Continent simply forgot about seeing the other stuff in the Main Hall and surrounded that cultivator to continue hearing more.

  Seeing the gusto in the eyes of Yan Ji and the other cultivators from the Le Continent as they surrounded him, this Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Soul Essence Cultivator spoke out with even more energy. “Then Senior Apprentice Brother Ning, in just one fell swoop, set down a foot on Ding Liang’s Golden Core. The poor guy claimed that he was ranked 37th among the Profound Core Realm of the Great Meet of the Academies. But he ended up with his Golden Core completely crushed, hehe…..”

  “Those are some ruthless methods, even digging out that cultivator’s Golden Core before crushing it…..” Bei Xingjin gave out a soft sigh as he shook his head slightly.

  This Rainbow Fall Sword Sect’s Soul Essence Realm Cultivator did not agree with this view and felt furious in his heart. This person from the Le Continent obviously held some grudges against Senior Apprentice Brother Ning; otherwise, he would never say that Senior Apprentice Brother Ning Cheng was ruthless in his ways.

  “Humph….” This Soul Essence Cultivator gave a cold humph before continuing, “Senior Apprentice Brother Ning’s actions had been seen by many, many of the major academy’s talented disciples were also saved by Senior Apprentice Brother Ning Cheng, what makes you say that Senior Apprentice Brother Ning Cheng’s method is ruthless?”

  Bei Xingjin cupped his fists and spoke, “This Senior Apprentice Brother, please calm down, I only sighed at my emotions. Although, in my heart, I stand on Ning Cheng’s side; however, cultivation for us cultivators is not easy. To form a Golden Core, it takes countless years of effort and hard work to pile up before solidifying it. Yet, for someone to dig out other’s Golden Core without any reason and even step on it to crush it, it caused me to feel a bit sentimental.”

  “Bah, sentimental? That Red Star Sword Faction’s Ding Liang wanted to exchange things in this place using compulsion. He would always forcibly lower the price of the things put up by cultivators, almost equivalent to dirt, for the exchange. But nobody dared to stand up against him, only Senior Apprentice Brother Ning stood up to stop him. Moreover, Ding Liang even proclaimed it before the challenge that he must dig out Senior Apprentice Brother Ning’s Golden Core. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning had always been humble and even courteous from the beginning to the end; from what point of view can it be called as him being vicious with his methods?” This Soul Essence Cultivator spoke in an accusing tone.

  Bei Xingjin’s complexion turned ugly to look at once again. Although his cultivation looked higher compared to the Soul Essence Cultivation of the cultivator in front of him, in this place, he could not dare to make a move on others.

  “This is just hearsay, who knows if this thing is true or false?” Bei Xingjin spoke. He already did not want to exchange any more words with this Soul Essence Cultivator.

  However, the Soul Essence Cultivator who was talking in favour of Ning Cheng did not want to let go of him, as he gave a sneer and spoke, “Just a look at you is enough to say that you are in the same league as that Ding Liang, jackals from the same lair. Let me tell you something, the one that had to suffer bullying from Ding Liang at that time was I, Zhang Qian. If there were no Senior Apprentice Brother Ning at that time, then there would be no Zhang Qian today. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning bestowed a live-saving grace on me. Don’t even think that I would just sit by and allow you to slander Senior Apprentice Brother Ning in front of me, humph.”

  Bei Xingjin’s complexion was as if he swallowed a disgusting fly. When he spoke that Ning Cheng was vicious in his methods, it was an indirect message that he wanted to convey to Yan Ji. However, he had never thought that this matter would turn into entirely opposite of what was in his mind.

  “Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang, did Senior Apprentice Brother Ning kill that Ding Liang here in the past?” Cheng Yixiao had already set Ning Cheng as his goal; so of course, he wanted to know everything Ning Cheng did when he arrived at the Cultivator Exchange Main Hall.

  “Haha, the things that Senior Apprentice Brother Ning did in that year are something that you would not even dare to imagine. Fortunately, I was also there to help Senior Apprentice Brother Ning; as such, had the honour to participate in this particular matter.” As Zhang Qian spoke, he arrived at a stall in one of the more conspicuous locations in the Main Hall. The rest of the people also subconsciously followed him.

  Zhang Qian pointed towards the stall and spoke with a voice filled with pride, “Do you know what Senior Apprentice Brother Ning sold in this place? I’m sure that none of you would be able to imagine it. No, it was not the Blood River Red Lotus. Senior Apprentice Brother Ning straight out pulled a barrel of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar to sell. Yes, you certainly did not hear me wrong, a full barrel of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar. Even if it was a Crucible Transformation Senior, how many people would have the capability to come up with a barrel full of Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar for sale?”

  Yan Ji on hearing Ning Cheng sold Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar in this place immediately felt her face turning rosy red at this moment.

  Nobody was clear about how much Spiritual Enhancement True Nectar that Ni
ng Cheng possessed; however, she had actually taken multiple baths in it. Thinking that there were no secrets more intimate than this to share with Ning Cheng, Yan Ji suddenly felt as if she could no longer dare to see Ning Cheng in the eye.

  “Big Sister Yan Ji, what’s wrong?” Zhangsun Yan did not know about that particular situation and asked an innocent question from the side.

  ……

  This was already the third day since they left the area where those two experts were fighting. Ning Cheng stopped his flight type True Artefact and stared at the vast Yi Xing Ocean in front of him while looking at the rising Sun at the horizon.

  How should he go about finding the correct direction?

  Just as Ning Cheng was pondering over which direction to choose, a vague flickering fluctuation appeared within the edges of the range of his Spiritual Consciousness.

  Ning Cheng was quite surprised, he did not think of anything else as he controlled the airship to chase down the flickering fluctuation. He was sure that it was definitely a flight type Magical Weapon.

  Sure enough, after half an incense worth of time passed, a flying shuttle shaped Best Quality Magical Weapon appeared within Ning Cheng’s Spiritual Consciousness. When Ning Cheng’s airship started to approach this shuttle, that shuttle immediately began to accelerate, apparently thinking that the one controlling the Airship wanted to rob the shuttle.

  Ning Cheng also did not mind this and accelerated his airship.

  A flight type Best Quality Spiritual Artefact might be fast; it still had a far distance to go when compared to Ning Cheng’s Low-Grade True Artefact. Just over half an hour later, the shuttle suddenly stopped. Apparently, the shuttle’s owner became aware that they would not be able to outpace Ning Cheng’s airship, so they chose to stay out of helplessness.

  Ning Cheng also stopped his airship; he had already seen the cultivator controlling the best quality flight type Spiritual Artefact. It was a middle-aged man with an average build. He possessed the cultivation of 2nd Level of Sea Opening Realm and had a strong scent of the sea on him, mixed with a faint bloody aura. Apparently, this person’s time in the Yi Xing Ocean has not been short; moreover, it looks like he has already experienced quite a bit of slaughter in the Yi Xing Ocean.

  The Sea Opening Cultivator on the flying shuttle also saw Ning Cheng and found that Ning Cheng was also at the early stages of the Sea Opening Realm. Moreover, on Ning Cheng’s airship, the highest cultivation apart from Ning Cheng’s own was at Profound Core 3rd Level, causing him to feel immediately relieved.

  Once the fear subsided from his eyes, his gaze finally fell onto Ning Cheng’s flight type Low-Grade True Artefact. In the Tian Continent, even Crucible Transformation Cultivators that possessed a flight type Low-Grade True Artefact were not many. He had been travelling year round at the periphery of the Yi Xing Ocean, besides his strength, the most critical thing on him was the best quality flight type Spiritual Artefact he rode.

  “Friend, for you to follow me to this place, do you need something from me?” This Sea Opening Realm Cultivator stared at Ning Cheng, simultaneously circulating the True Essence in his body, ready to fight at any time.

  “Not sure about that, I lost my way in the Yi Xing Ocean, and am also not able to find the proper direction. I just want to ask you to point me towards the direction of the Mirage Gazing City or the Tian Continent.” Ning Cheng spoke politely with his fists cupped.

  This cultivator on hearing Ning Cheng’s words stating that he was lost, couldn’t help but look at Ning Cheng in doubt. It stood for the reason that any cultivator who could come to this place would at least have a Direction Seeking Array Disc to navigate the Yi Xing Ocean.

  How could this cultivator say that he lost his bearings?

  However, he soon took out a treasure like Array Disc before tossing it to Ning Cheng and quickly spoke, “I have a few Directional Array Discs with me. You can keep one with you.”

  As he spoke those words, his alertness towards Ning Cheng increased even more.

  Ning Cheng took the Array Disc and swept his Spiritual Consciousness inside. It really was a map marked with both the direction and even the location of the Mirage Ship Island. At the same time, it also contained the coordinates of several other islands.

  Ning Cheng felt overjoyed. After quickly thanking that person, he once again took control of the airship and disappeared into the direction of the Mirage Gazing Island. Ning Cheng was aware of the other party’s doubts but chose not speak anything to dispel it. As for the cultivator who gave Ning Cheng the Array Disc, he was even more confused.

  Was he really lost?

  ……

  With the Directional Array Disc, Ning Cheng only had to spend a-days-worth of time before he spotted the familiar looking Mirage Gazing Island. Knowing that initiating a transfer would require a significant amount of Spirit Stones, Ning Cheng let the others enter his Miniature World once again. He did not want to spend an unjust amount of Spirit Stones, so he just chose the method of concealment.

  Ning Cheng did not have any mood to play around in the Mirage Gazing Island. As soon as he entered the Mirage Gazing City, he directly made his way to the location of the Transmission Array.

  “To the Tian Continent.” Ning Cheng threw a storage bag towards the old man guarding the Transmission Array.

  The old man grabbed the storage bag, then sent a jade card to Ning Cheng and spoke, “Go stand in line.”

  He did not even check out how many Spirit Stones were present in the Storage Bag. In the Mirage Gazing Island, if one wanted to use deception, then managing to reach the Tian Continent would only be a dead end for them.

  Ning Cheng’s luck held steady; after going in, he found that he was tenth in line. Within just a minute, the array had already transported him out.

  Steward Peng was just about to put away Ning Cheng’s Storage Bag when he suddenly stood up in a daze.

  It’s not right;

  the current fee for transmission to the Tian Continent from the Mirage Gazing Island is 500,000 Spirit Stones. So why did this cultivator give him 1 Million?

  1 Million Spirit Stones for a one-way transfer, that was the rate when the 9-Colored Mirage Tree still existed.

  Steward Peng quickly felt that Ning Cheng was somewhat familiar,

  9-Colored Mirage Tree?

  He almost shook with excitement. The person rumoured to have dug out the 9-Colored Mirage Tree, Ning Cheng, had come back but it was only at this moment that he realised it.

  “Keep a watch on the Transmission Array; I’m going to the City Master.” Steward Peng immediately called to a cultivator next to him before he turned and hurried out of the Main Hall containing the Transmission Array.

  For someone like him, losing 500,000 Spirit Stones meant nothing at all. In case he provided the information that led to the capture of Ning Cheng, who had dug out the 9-Colored Mirage Tree, then he would genuinely strike it rich. He was sure that he would not be able to capture that man by himself; therefore, he must first go to the City Master’s Mansion to get in contact with their forces. At that point, they all could then work together to capture him. In his opinion, Ning Cheng certainly wanted to sneak back.

  ……

  Grand Peace City, initially one of the most famous True Cultivator cities in the Tian Continent, became even more famous among the cities of the Tian Continent after the Geocentric 9 Yin Essence and a branch from the 9-Colored Mirage Tree appeared there, causing a significant scuffle among the Major Academies.

  The Profound Light Chamber of Commerce, who shot to fame that year after putting those things up for auction, was now showing vague signs of surpassing the Silver Links Chamber of Commerce and even the first ranked Chamber of the Commerce of the Tian Continent, the ‘Wind and Cloud Pavilion’.

  At this time, at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, a man wearing blue robes stood in front of it. The blue-robed man looked at the door of the Profound Light Chamber of Commerce, and spoke aloud to himself, “We
ll, looks like they really ended up borrowing my light, even their entrance has turned a lot more stylish over these years.”

  “No one is permitted to go upstairs, if you want to sell something, then you can just stay downstairs.” A Profound Core Cultivator stopped this blue robed man at the entrance of the Merchant House and spoke.

  “Oh, then go tell that Song Yi that a friend of his has come for something that rightfully belongs to him.” The blue-robed man spoke calmly. Yet everyone inside the Merchant House heard his voice clearly.

  By the time that Profound Core Cultivator reacted, he found that the blue-robed cultivator had already disappeared.

  Of course, this blue robed man was none other than Ning Cheng, who had just returned to the Tian Continent. He did not go anywhere else but first made his way to the Grand Peace City. He wanted to come and collect the debt owed to him. With his current cultivation, of course, he was not afraid of others trying to chase him down. However, he did not know if people still wanted to chase him down. It was the safest to collect the Spirit Stones owed to him first before doing anything else.

  Ning Cheng had sent his voice empowered with his True Essence, so Song Yi had already heard it upstairs. Song Yi felt his heart tremble unconsciously. He could feel that this voice belonged to someone familiar, but at the same time, he also felt a bad premonition. Immediately after that, he saw Ning Cheng within his Spiritual Consciousness’ range, causing his face to suddenly change.

  Was this person not the same person, surnamed Kong, who came to the Profound Light Chamber of Commerce that year?

  Many people had already heard the rumours that he might be Ning Cheng, so how could he dare to come to this place?

  What should he do?

  “Storekeeper Song, you seem to have lost the enthusiasm from before eh. This will not do, especially when I want to put a few more things for auction. I liked your enthusiasm from before. That being said, I came here today to collect the Spirit Stones for my things you sold, can you at least stop pretending that you don’t know about it?” While Song Yi’s brain was rapidly thinking of strategies, Ning Cheng’s voice abruptly rang out next to his ears.
