The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  Although Ning Cheng and An Yi were both at Qi Gathering 4th Level, and the heavy rain didn’t seem to stop anytime soon. The two people controlled the boat for the whole day, but unexpectedly it rained harder and harder.

  In addition, the waves were also several feet high, although the boat was being controlled by Ning Cheng and An Yi, but it was slowly breaking apart.

  A small wooden boat, under this kind of wind and waves, was able to persist for a whole day, it can already be regarded as exceptional.

  The boat completely broke apart under the unending storm, and Ning Cheng and An Yi both fell directly into the sea. Ning Cheng first grabbed a wooden plank, and turned to find An Yi, but he could only see a few pieces of An Yi’s clothes. Ning Cheng panicked, while clutching onto the wooden plank, he directly gathered his Qi into his hands and rushed out, grabbed An Yi and held her tight to his bosom.

  An Yi was also a cultivator at Qi Gathering 4th Level, but because she did not have any experience of the sea, and as she was constantly fighting the storms and the waves of the sea, she was already very exhausted. Moreover prior to this, she was also constantly taking care of Ning Cheng for nearly a week. At the time when the wooden boat began to split apart, she did not say that she could swim, even if she could swim, she would be unable to because of her exhaustion. Fortunately, Ning Cheng was able to react quickly, and caught An Yi with his hands, or else, An Yi feared that she would have been washed away by the rough waves of the sea.

  An Yi broke out of the surface of water with the help of Ning Cheng, spat out a few mouthfuls of the sea’s salty water, and said, “Big Brother Ning, are we going to die?”

  Ning Cheng was hugging An Yi as he treaded the water, his heart was also gloomy, if he still had the broken wooden plank, maybe he could find a way deal with the situation for some more time, but now he had lost the broken wooden plank, even if he was more powerful, he did not know how long would he be able to persist.

  “Big Brother Ning, if the both of us die, will we also become like those soul soldiers, coming in and out of the periphery of the sea every day?” An Yi said as she unexpectedly thought of the soul soldiers that she heard about back then.

  Ning Cheng quickly said, “Don’t go blindly thinking of things, we may not die, as long as the storm stops, we can perhaps be saved. Well, if we could fly out by riding on the Flying Sword, we wouldn’t have to be afraid of the waves……”

  He did not even speak a few words when a large wave directly crashed onto Ning Cheng, making him plunge into the water again.

  After the rough sea wave, An Yi lifted her hand to help Ning Cheng remove her hair that was sticking to his face and said, “Big Brother Ning, it would be better if you let me go, but I am a person who is really afraid. I am not a person who is afraid of death, but I am afraid that I may turn into a soul soldier……”

  Ning Cheng was barely holding onto An Yi, but unwillingly said, “Do not be silly, how could I let you go? Death is always death, letting you go is all the same, if two people go with each other, at least both of them will have a companion. I have already died once, and if I die once again, perhaps I can still go back…….”

  “Big Brother Ning, does a girlfriend have the same meaning as fiancée?” An Yi saw that Ning Cheng suddenly turned silent and did not finish his words, and suddenly took the initiative to ask.

  Initially An Yi had asked Ning Cheng about his girlfriend, but at that time they were suddenly interrupted by those two cultivators who were flying about and fighting with each other. Ning Cheng did not expect that An Yi would ask about it again in this situation?

  Ning Cheng was just thinking about Ning Ruo Lan a moment ago, but now he was thinking of Tian Mu Wan, this time he did not know if he would survive, now that An Yi had asked again, he did not conceal anything and replied directly, “A girlfriend is not a fiancée, to want a girlfriend to become one’s fiancée, you have to propose to her and get engaged.”

  “Is she your girlfriend because you forgot to propose to her, so did you both ended up in a fight because of that?”

  Ning Cheng sighed and said, “That’s not it, that person who is currently is my fiancée went in that person’s car in front of me, although I know that she might have done it intentionally, but with my personality I just can’t accept it, I think……”

  An Yi face suddenly changed, and said in a fierce tone, “Big Brother Ning, who is this shameless woman? You still bring her up…….”

  Another rough sea wave hit them, Ning Cheng by now had a bit of experience, and holding onto An Yi he plunged into the water, escaping the waves in the process, and once again brought their heads up to the surface.

  Wiping the water from his face, Ning Cheng forcibly smiled and said, “An Yi, you mentioned something a moment ago, but I never originally mentioned her.”

  In the meantime, in his heart, he was speechless, he knew An Yi hasn’t been to Earth, so this kind of viewpoint can be considered normal. This sense of shame was simply two different things, rather Ning Cheng had no way to explain this kind of thing to An Yi.

  “Sorry, Big Brother Ning, I should not have brought it up.” An Yi felt Ning Cheng’s sadness, suddenly even her heart did not feel that good. She had always followed her master to cultivate together, but together with Ning Cheng, she felt that she could speak up a little more than with her master.

  “An Yi, did you look at those sea beasts that had sneak attacked us?” Ning Cheng said as he subconsciously embraced An Yi tightly, but his heart was cold as ice.

  A dense cluster of those sea beasts were approaching Ning Cheng and An Yi, each of those sea beast’s eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty tint, as their sharp white teeth shone. It was obvious that they were seeing them as their prey.

  “It’s a type of canine……” An Yi was in a state of panic, it was inconceivable for her, if the two of them were to be attacked by that dense cluster of sea beasts, then there would not even be a shred of meat left behind.

  Ning Cheng took out the Flying Sword, holding the sword in one of his hands, he darted to the front of the dozens of those sea beasts, and started to directly tear them apart with the sword. These sharp toothed sea beasts immediately surrounded those dead sea beasts, they were entirely eating up their dead comrades that Ning Cheng had cut up just now.

  The waves seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, and actually did not crash over them for a long time, but for Ning Cheng it was getting harder every passing moment, he was wielding the Flying Sword continuously as he killed those sea beasts, while holding An Yi and retreating back as much as possible. Because of the sea’s resistance, he could not increase his speed.

  Wanting to survive at any cost, Ning Cheng erupted with an unprecedented power and strength, he took An Yi as he was retreating while killing, unexpectedly, he went on like this for more than half a day. Those sharped toothed sea beasts were just too much, as soon as he killed some, he would have to kill many more.

  “An Yi….” Ning Cheng was going to say that he did not have any more strength to continue, when a piece of reef appeared in front of him.

  An Yi also saw the piece of reef at the same time, she was about to speak, when Ning Cheng joyfully shouted, “We have arrived at an island……”

  Speaking that, Ning Cheng once again erupted with the last amount of strength that he could muster, with An Yi clutched to his bosom, he started to pick up speed, and eventually rushed out of the water and unexpectedly fell onto the reef on the outer periphery of the island.

  After taking a few steps into the island, he could not go any further and fell onto the ground saying, “Finally escaped with our lives……”

  Ning Cheng suddenly stopped speaking, he just stared at An Yi who was pressing her body onto him.

  To be honest, Ning Cheng had never regarded An Yi as an adult, but the An Yi now had her clothes completely soaked, which showed her exquisite womanly shapes which could even be compared to the best of the women.

  Ning Cheng had
a unique feeling in his heart, this little nun usually is ordinary at all times, just when did her bosom get so big?

  An Yi did not realize that she was completely exposed in front of Ning Cheng, but instead was tightly holding onto Ning Cheng, and was even trembling.

  “An Yi……” Ning Cheng was just going to ask An Yi if she was alright, but he felt that something was not right, he and An Yi were completely surrounded by a foggy haze, even An Yi’s snow white chest was blocked out by the fog, and appeared indistinctly.

  “There are soul soldiers……” An Yi said in a trembling voice, she seemed very afraid of the soul soldiers.

  Ning Cheng already threw An Yi’s chest problems aside in his mind, and instantly sat up, he simply refused to be exhausted, he immediately grabbed An Yi and hid behind a protruding piece of rock.

  A headless man carrying his head in his hand was slowly moving forward in the foggy haze. After the headless man walked a few steps forward, he suddenly removed his bloody palm from the head in his hands, and then immediately plugged it into the mouth of the head. The head in his other hand, unexpectedly began to slowly chew on that bloody palm.

  Ning Cheng’s scalp was tingling unceasingly, even when he was on that Fang’s ship, he did not have this kind of eerie feeling.

  After the head completely chewed through the bloody hand, it suddenly turned its head in their direction, the two grey eyes were like dying embers and were staring directly in the direction where Ning Cheng and An Yi were hiding, there was even blood dripping from the corners of its mouth.

  Ning Cheng felt his heart turn cold, but at the same time the Mysterious Yellow Bead sent out a strand of Qi again, driving the ice cold feeling out of his body.

  Fortunately, it did not seem that that headless man knew that Ning Cheng and An Yi were hiding in the direction he was looking, and it leisurely walked away into the foggy haze disappearing from their view.

  “Big Brother, that soul soldier did not have a head…….” An Yi spoke with a bit tremor in her voice, apparently she had not seen such a strange and frightful scene before.

  Ning Cheng spoke while lowering his voice, “An Yi, I suspect that it was not a soul soldier that we had first met, we have just arrived on this island. Now suddenly there is a lot of fog around, it simply makes us not see thing clearly. Here it is very likely to be an Array Formation, perhaps it is an Illusion Array Formation. A person that had no head, simply does not exist, it is an illusion produced by our own minds.”

  Although he was comforting An Yi, Ning Cheng in his heart was not completely sure either, he could not confirm if that was an illusion or not, because it felt way too real.

  After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the fog gradually disappeared, and Ning Cheng and An Yi were again able to see the original island that was in front of them.

  “I know; this is the Lansha Island.” Ning Cheng finally had something that clicked in his mind, he felt that the surroundings were somewhat familiar, it was clearly depicted in the map provided to them by that Taoist Pu.

  Ning Cheng never forgot the details, although he had already thrown away the two route maps, but the Array Formation that was drawn in the route map, he still remembered it clearly. The blue sands in the outer periphery of the Lansha Island were actually the Array Formation that was in front of them.

  “What do we do now? I heard that a Golden Cicada Fruit Tree appeared here, it would mean that there will be a lot of people coming over.” said An Yi when heard Ning Cheng say that this island was the Lansha Island, she asked this in a bit worried voice.

  Ning Cheng immediately said, “That Taoist Pu wanted us to join their team, they absolutely did not have any good intentions towards us. No matter if this Taoist Pu had already come over before the 15th of that month or during the 15th of this month, currently we do not have sufficient strength to act against them. There are still 15 days till this Island opens once again for the people, we first have to find a safe place to hide.”

  If there was even a boat around, Ning Cheng wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there was not even a boat around let alone a ship, they simply could not walk away from here. He did not believe that he could obtain the Golden Cicada Fruit, this kind of thing like the Golden Cicada Fruit, it was not something that was easy to obtain, how could that Taoist Pu and the others who were only at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level obtain it?

  Ning Cheng and An Yi did not dare to enter the heart of the island, they were walking along the edge of the island for more than an hour, finally they found a huge rock on the side of the island.

  Ning Cheng took out the low grade Artefact that he had obtained after their confrontation with San Pi, it was a long knife, seeking a secluded place for them to hide, he began to dig with the help of the Artefact. Ning Cheng was cultivator at the Qi Gathering 4th Level, in addition, he had a low grade Artefact, but at the same time he did not cherish that Artefact, in as little as half a day, Ning Cheng was able to dig out a huge rocky cavern from the huge stone.

  At this time An Yi had already changed into a fresh set of clothes, and followed Ning Cheng into the new cave he had dug out of the huge rock. They had only just entered the freshly made cave, when the foggy haze enveloped the outside once again.

  “It is very strange here, I have to find a way to refine some Array Flags, then we can arrange an Array Formation to seal up the entrance. An Yi, you already have the Spirit Stones with you, it’s better if you start cultivating first.” Said Ning Cheng as he saw the fog outside getting more concentrated as every moment passed by, he was secretly glad that he ended up making the right choice. If he was still in the fog, perhaps he would have already lost his sense of direction and would directly enter into the heart of the island.

  An Yi also did not have any objections to the views of Ning Cheng, she knew that Ning Cheng’s cultivation needed a huge amount of Spirit Stones, the small amount of Spirit Stones in her possession were meaningless to him, it might be better if she used those for her own cultivation. Waiting for her to advance to a higher cultivation level, she would then help Ning Cheng in going out to look for Spirit Stones for his cultivation.

  Seeing An Yi starting to cultivate, Ning Cheng also took out some materials to start refining an Array Flag. He had never studied refining Array Flags, but inside the books for the basic Array Formation Methods, it did have some simple introductions to it. After two days of exploration and a number of tests, Ning Cheng unexpectedly refined some Level 1 Array Flags. Though they were still a bit rough, but these Array Flags can be arranged to form a Level 1 Array Formation.

  But Ning Cheng was still very unsatisfied, he was somewhat regretting that he did not ask that Fang for several pieces of jade regarding refining. At this time, he was very clear, Refining and Array Formations were really closely linked. He was very clear that if he did not learn Refining, then he could not become a good Array Master.

  Thinking that Array Formations and Refining were very closely linked, Ning Cheng sighed, Refining was never easier than Alchemy i.e. refining pills of immortality. The Mysterious Yellow Bead could only help in correcting the Cultivation Methods, it actually can’t help him in quickly master the skills of Alchemy and Refining. It appears that even if he mastered more theories of Array Formations, it was unlikely that he would become a powerful Array Master.

  After arranging the Level 1 Concealment Array Formation at the entrance of the cave, Ning Cheng began to take out the several pieces of Jade that he had obtained from Fang. On one of the two pieces of jade for the magical spells, Ning Cheng could not even see a single word. He did not know if his own cultivation level was too low for it or if the Jade Piece given to him by Fang was a fake.

  Ning Cheng again took out the four pieces of Jade that contained Cultivation Methods, the first one he was not able to see,
the second one also he could not see anything, the same with the third one …….

  Ning Cheng in his heart, felt that he was cheated by Fang, even if he was unable to see everything from the Jade Pieces, with the help of the Mysterious Yellow Bead he could correct the Cultivation Method, making it even more stronger that what the other average Qi Gathering cultivators were cultivating. But now he was unable to see even a single word, if that Fang did not lie to him, then what was this?

  With this view in mind, Ning Cheng picked up the fourth Jade Piece, but this time something changed, in the fourth piece Ning Cheng was actually able to read some things while sweeping it with his Spiritual Sense.

  “Profound Grade [Wishful Wooden Tactics] ……”

  Words started to appear in front of Ning Cheng which were no problem to him, but the words that were behind them were becoming fuzzier, all Ning Cheng could see was ‘Qi Gathering into Essence Building, achieving True Condensation is true’ at this time, his mind started to hurt, and was unable to look again. However, Ning Cheng had an abnormal memory, as long as he had seen it once he could not simply forget about it.

  It was wood based Cultivation Method, Ning Cheng closed his eyes and carefully thought about this Cultivation Method again. After discovering this Cultivation Method, he wanted to see how much further ahead the corrected and modified Cultivation Method would be when compared to the original.

  Ning Cheng did not want to cultivate this Cultivation Method, he was thinking about An Yi. At this time An Yi was cultivating, after Ning Cheng heard the words of Fang, he was thinking about An Yi’s Cultivation Method which seemed to be very general. He interrupted An Yi who was cultivating and asked, “An Yi, what is your Spiritual Root? Also what Cultivation Method are you using for cultivation?”

  An Yi whose eyes were closed just a moment before as she cultivated, opened her eyes and said, “My Main Spiritual Root is of wood, and the Cultivation Method that I can use is ‘Wooden Tactics’. My master said, if I wanted to enter into the True Condensation Realm, then I had to find a new and powerful Cultivation Method.”
