Ning Cheng was also not the only person who occupied his room, but there were also five other people whom he did not know, who were also staying in that room. These five people were very young and had the same characteristics, the oldest one was about 20 years in age.
This made Ning Cheng relax a bit, his cultivation level in this room was finally not the worst one. This room had five people, and there were only two of them who were at the Qi Gathering 4th Level.
“Are you also students from the Clear Heart Academy?” Ning Cheng asked as he cupped his fists. His was a bit surprised in his heart, even if it was the Clear Heart Academy, cultivators in the Qi Gathering 2nd Level earning 2 Low Grade Spirit Stones for the fare was definitely not a simple thing, right?
One of them who was the same as Ning Cheng, a teenager with the same cultivation level of Qi Gathering 4th Level said, “Of course not, are you not going to the Clear Heart Academy to be selected, are you also not going to participate in the admission selection of the Clear Heart Academy? Only by passing the Academy’s selection, would you be considered as a student of the Clear Heart Academy.”
Ning Cheng suddenly came to understand, before he had heard that this airship had a partnership with the Min Yi Country and the Clear Heart Academy. It seems that this ship went around the whole Ping Continent, in all directions to select youths with good aptitudes to enter the Clear Heart Academy, once they pass the test, they would then become the students of the Clear Heart Academy. Le Bohong said that one required 2 Spirit Stones to embark on this airship, perhaps it was to help him open a backdoor for him and An Yi.
Ning Cheng quickly familiarized himself with the other people, these people were just like Ning Cheng had guessed them to be, they all had come from different regions to join the Clear Heart Academy, and were getting ready to participate in the selection tests of the Clear Heart Academy. The qualification of several people in his room could be considered as the bottom of all the people on board, despite being in the bottom, the worst one of them had a better qualification than Ning Cheng, at least they had a primary Spiritual Root.
“What would happen if we fail the tests?” Ning Cheng suddenly thought, if they failed in passing the entrance test, the Clear Heart Academy would certainly not recruit them, it was certain that there would not be any airships that would send them back.
A skinny teenager who was at the Qi Gathering 3rd Level clenched his fist and said, “I have to pass it.”
Seeing him and Ning Cheng, the teenager at the Qi Gathering 4th Level said with contempt, “If you could really pass the test, then the rest of us can reach the moon in a single jump, if you can’t pass, you could only stay in the Ming Ye Country to seek living. If someone wants to return home from Ming Ye Country, you would just be seeking death.”
Finished saying that with a sigh, he said, “If you have at least Yu Hong Feng’s type of Spiritual Root, then you do not have to worry.”
“Who is Yu Hong Feng?” Ning Cheng asked.
“He is a person who selected by Yu Anguo, I heard that he would only select students who have a golden Spiritual Roots. Even the elders on the airship are very polite to him, he has boundless prospects …….” The teenager at the Qi Gathering 4th Level replied with some envy in his voice.
Ning Cheng was moved in his heart, a Pure Spiritual Root was given such attention, would that also mean that An Yi would also share the same attention?
At this time, the door of the room was opened with a slight squeak, and a boy wearing a blue robe came in carrying a wooden tray, on the wooden tray were several similar lunch boxes.
“Here is your dinner.” That blue robed youth said without even showing the slightest feeling.
Ning Cheng knew that there would be a person who would come to deliver the food, it seems that the treatment here was not as bad as he thought. It seemed that the other teenagers in the room were already accustomed to it, and hurried to take their lunch boxes. After Ning Cheng took his lunch box, he asked the meal delivery boy in a very kind way, “Excuse me my friend, where does the disciples with Pure Spiritual Roots live?”
The meal delivery youth gave Ning Cheng a surprised look, and then he said, “They live in the core area, do not try to go looking for them, otherwise you would soon be kicked out of the airship.”
The teenager at the Qi Gathering 4th Level heard the exchange, asked in a puzzled way, “Is Yu Hong Feng not the only person with a Pure Spiritual Root?”
“Of course not, I have heard that this time in the Mingot Sea they were able to find a person with a Pure Wooden Spiritual Root.” The meal delivery youth immediately replied.
Ning Cheng knew that the other party would definitely keep An Yi safe, having heard that, he understood that An Yi would definitely be properly taken care of. But he was still very worried in his heart, and also asked, “If I wanted to meet one of the students with the Pure Spiritual Roots, will there be trouble?”
“It is not troublesome, tomorrow night the people on board will throw a welcoming party for the two people with the Pure Spiritual Roots. If you have to ability to get the admission tickets, then you can go see them.” This meal delivery youth smiled at Ning Cheng thinking that he was overestimating his own ability, after saying that, he did not continue to exchange words with Ning Cheng, and turned around to leave the room.

The meal delivery boy had just left, when the gate was shoved open again, this time a middle aged beautiful woman came in.
Besides Ning Cheng, when the other five teenagers saw this middle aged beautiful woman they immediately stood up and immediately bowed to salute her, at the same time they respectfully called out, “Elder Lan…….”
This middle aged beautiful woman slightly nodded her head, and looked at Ning Cheng and asked, “Are you called Ning Cheng?”
Ning Cheng felt that the eyes of this beautiful middle aged woman were very stern, and did not understand why this Elder would trouble herself to find him.
“You, come with me.” this middle aged woman did not even wait for Ning Cheng to reply, and said while she already turned around to leave the room.
Ning Cheng, for some unknown reason, also followed this middle aged beautiful woman out of the room, after turning through a few bends in the airship, they entered a luxurious room which was shared by six people.
This middle aged beautiful woman sat down in the seat of honour in the room, and did not wait for Ning Cheng to sit down, and only asked in a light voice, “According to what An Yi said, you and An Yi’s relationship does not seem to be that of two close cousins, before An Yi’s master had departed, she asked you to take care of An Yi.”
Ning Cheng did not speak, he knew that An Yi was very pure and simple minded, in the face of these crafty fellows, it was not unusual for these things to be asked. He only hoped that An Yi did not say about the Mysterious Yellow Bead to them, and also that he required a scary amount of Spirit Stones for his cultivation, these kind of things must not be spread around.
Once An Yi even mentioned about it, then he could only wait for his death. Ning Cheng believed that An Yi should know how to differentiate between good and evil, as this kind of thing should not even be vaguely mentioned, and she should more so not take the initiative to say it.
After the beautiful middle aged woman finished speaking, she again did not wait for Ning Cheng to reply and said again, “Regardless of whether An Yi is your cousin or not, I hope you will stay away from An Yi. It would be good for you as well as An Yi. An Yi has a limitless future, and you have a three-line Hybrid Support Spiritual Root, your greatest achievement will only be in the Qi Gathering Realm, if you and An Yi remain in contact, it would only affect An Yi.”
Ning Cheng also said in a light voice, “I know that An Yi will have a limitless future when compared to me, but before that, I must confirm that An Yi gets
to receive the best care in the Clear Heart Academy.”
Ning Cheng already knew that the Clear Heart Academy would properly take care of An Yi, but the words that this beautiful middle aged woman just spoke, made him upset.
The beautiful middle aged woman showed a faint smile, “You can.”
Saying that she took out a Jade Card which she gave to Ning Cheng and said, “Tomorrow evening we will hold a welcome party for An Yi and Yu Hong Feng on the airship, you can rely on this Jade Card to enter the area, when the time comes, you can look at An Yi from the corner, otherwise you already understand what would happen.”
Ning Cheng took the Jade Card, and silently turned and walked out of the room, he was too lazy to even properly thank this middle aged beautiful woman.
At this time an extremely pretty girl hurriedly rushed in, and brushed past Ning Cheng who was just exiting the room. She also took a glance at Ning Cheng, at the same time voiced out a few words.
“Master, who is this person? He does not even have the basic courtesy.” This pretty girl was staring at the retreating figure of Ning Cheng, and asked that middle aged beautiful woman.
The middle aged beautiful woman frowned and said, “Although his qualifications is very low, but he has an obstinate character, and is extremely proud in his heart. He did not even reply to my words a moment ago, and did not even say a greeting, it seems that I really can’t let him come with us to the Clear Heart Academy.”
……
Ning Cheng returned to his room, inside the room, the few people were looking at him with a strange look in their eyes, however no one came forward to question him, and also no one came to strike up a conversation with him either. Ning Cheng was also not in a very good mood, and closed his eyes to attempt cultivating the Array Formation Methods.
The day passed by in an instant, in the second evening Ning Cheng arrived at the welcome party area, the party hall was already crowded, and was also very lively and loud.
Ning Cheng was from Earth, although he did not attend the evening banquets, parties or the like, but he had seen countless of them on the television. But this was the first time for Ning Cheng to participate in such a party, although there were no modern amenities here, but Ning Cheng was sure that this luxurious evening party aboard the airship was not one bit inferior to the high class parties back on his planet Earth.
There were rows of Illuminating Array Formations that lit up the entire party hall like a fairyland, there were even young girls wearing colourful butterfly like dresses and holding plates of food and wines interspersed in every corner. There was a soft gentle music that was playing which Ning Cheng had never heard before, when a person heard this, they would start to feel a very pleasant feeling of enjoyment.
There were many cultivators who participated in this party, and none of them were lower than Qi Gathering 5th Level, moreover there were many people who he could not clearly sense their cultivation levels.
Le Bohong was also walking around with a smile on his face, while talking with a few people who Ning Cheng could not even sense their cultivation levels.
Ning Cheng, other that the few people beside Le Bohong, could not recognize the rest of them. At this time, a burst of sweet music could be heard, under the light of the dimming moonlight, Ning Cheng saw An Yi.
At this point, An Yi was like a princess, the cloth robe that she was wearing earlier had already disappeared, and she had changed into a set of light yellow skirt. While her head was still wrapped in a white scarf, but it actually made her look like a fairy, as her already beautiful face became more refined just like an otherworldly fairy.
An Yi walked into the hall with a smile on her face, and her eyes were full of happiness. Clearly, although she had never come in contact with such a scene, here adaptability to it was very strong, at least in her eyes there was no hesitation or anxiety. Lu Xue and Yong Gu Yun accompanied An Yi on her side, showing that the status of An Yi was even higher than them.
As An Yi entered the party hall, there was burst of warm and enthusiastic applause.
Just behind An Yi and the others appeared a very handsome boy, his eyes had a trace of pride in them, and was walking with extreme confidence plastered on his face. Ning Cheng did not ask, he could already guess that this person should be the one with the pure gold Spiritual Root, Yu Hong Feng.
An Yi stood on the stage and accepted the crowd welcoming her, at the same time, she was also looking in all directions as if searching for someone. Lu Xue whispered in An Yi’s ears and said, “Junior Apprentice Sister An Yi, these people here are the Elite Disciples and teachers of the Clear Heart Academy, Ning Cheng will not be able to come here.”
An Yi nodded, and retracted her gaze, there was more than a trace of sadness in her eyes.
“The fact is you shouldn’t have come on board.” An indifferent voice sounded in Ning Cheng’s ears.
Ning Cheng suddenly turned around, and saw a familiar young girl. This young girl was precisely the one he had seen when he had gone to see the beautiful middle aged woman. at that time, he was coming out of the beautiful middle aged woman’s room, and this young girl happened to rush hurriedly inside. Although she only brushed past him, Ning Cheng still remembered her very clearly.
“At least I know my cousin is being treated very well, I am finally relieved.” Ning Cheng said with a light laugh, finished saying that he turned and was about to leave. If he did not come on board, he would have definitely died in Mingot City.
The young girl suddenly said, “I think that it would be better if you got off the airship on the next stop. Believe me, it’s for your own good.”
After the girl said such strange words, she turned around and moved towards the middle of the bustling crowd in the party hall.
Ning Cheng frowned, he did not have a good feeling. He was just about to reach for a wine glass on the table beside him to drink, when he heard a familiar voice once again, “You’ve seen your cousin An Yi, she is getting along very well, so you do not have to worry about her.”
“Many thanks senior, I really don’t have to worry about it anymore, this junior takes his leave.” Ning Cheng gave up his thought of picking up a wine glass and said, as he turned around, he found that he was talking to the beautiful middle aged woman who had given him the Jade Card, but at this moment there was not even an expression on her face.
The beautiful middle aged woman said indifferently, “Letting you come here, was because you are An Yi’s cousin, you should understand this thought well. I was looking for some matters pertaining you, you will come with me.”
The bad feeling in Ning Cheng’s heart was growing more intense, but he had no leeway to resist, and could only follow the beautiful middle aged woman out of the party hall.
After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, there was a light breeze blowing, Ning Cheng discovered that he was standing on the deck behind the airship. Under the airship was the endless blue sky and vast white clouds, those light breezes were coming from an Array Formation that was arranged in the rear of the airship, and it seemed that the breeze was contained. As one could imagine it, if it was not for these shielding Array Formations, just by standing in this place, one would be immediately thrown out due to the airship’s fast speed.
Looking at the endless blue skies and the vast white clouds under his feet, Ning Cheng was feeling somewhat dizzy, at this point he completely understood what the beautiful middle aged woman had brought him here to do.
“You want me to jump down from here?” said Ning Cheng as his expression became ice cold, letting a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 4th Level to jump from this high in the air, other than the path of dying, there was no other second path.
The middle aged beautiful woman naturally nodded and said, “That’s right, you must jump down from here, you have no choice.”
“Why is that? I have already agreed to not seek out An Yi anymore.” Ning Cheng said as he clenched his fists, he knew that these people had no d
isregard for human lives, however this was too outrageous. Just because he knew An Yi, and An Yi had a Pure Spiritual Root would they kill him, how could this make any sense? It was as if, if he was alive, An Yi would not feel at ease in cultivating.
“For the future of An Yi, I have the responsibility to help An Yi in cutting off the worldly burdens from her life peacefully. You don’t want to fight me, I can tell you beforehand, that I am Elder Lan Yin Yue of the Clear Heart Academy, with the cultivation level of True Condensation 8th Level. You are merely a cultivator of the Qi Gathering 4th Level, I don’t even need to move, and can make you get down from here immediately. But because you are An Yi’s cousin, I do not want to force you, you can jump by yourself.”
This middle aged beautiful woman said all these words in an impassive tone as if she was just asking for him to do something trivial.
“Ha Ha…..” Ning Cheng laughed, “When the mother is a whore, then the child will also be a bitch, you do not like to force me, Bah.”
“You are courting death…….” the originally extremely calm and quite Lan Yin Yue after listening to Ning Cheng, immediately was overflowing with a Killing Intent.
Ning Cheng knew that he did not have any ability to resist, he walked to the edge of the airship’s side and stared at Lan Yin Yue and just said a few simple words, “Lan Yin Yue, this father does not need you to begin, this father will choose himself. There will be one day, that you will regret today’s events, you self-centred bitch……”
Lan Yin Yue heard Ning Cheng calling out to her as a bitch, and was suddenly trembling with anger, she did not even wait for Ning Cheng to begin, but Ning Cheng had already jumped from the airship’s side on his own initiative, he knew from the face of Lan Yin Yue, that other than him jumping down, there was no second way to go.
The airship’s speed was very quick, so when Ning Cheng jumped, the airship had already flown far away. Lan Yin Yue was still unable to quell her anger that had built up inside her, she did not expect that a mere Qi Gathering 4th Level runt would dare to humiliate her. If she could fly, she would have certainly flown out of the airship, catch Ning Cheng again, and tear him up inch by inch.
