“You have the map of the Thunder Fall Desert?” Tai Shu Shi asked in a pleasantly surprised voice.
“So it is called as the Thunder Fall Desert? I do have a map of it but it is only a simple one.” Ning Cheng said as he took out the map and handed it to Tai Shu Shi.
After Tai Shu Shi saw the map, he was even more surprised and said, “That’s right, this really is a simple map of the thunder desert. Unexpectedly you also have a map of the Daan Forest, no wonder you were able to pass through the Daan Forest.”
After giving back the map to Ning Cheng, Tai Shu Shi hesitated a bit before saying, “This will be so much easier to carry out, I also want to go to the Hua Continent. After all it’s only a continent, from there I can look for an opportunity to go to the intermediate levelled Jia Continent. How about we travel together, the materials that I was collecting are similar to the materials required for a True Condensation Pill, now the only thing that I am missing is the Golden Cicada Fruit and a type of Spiritual Grass called the Blue Tea Grass, the Golden Cicada Fruit is a bit troublesome, but the Blue Tea Grass is rather easy to obtain……”
Ning Cheng opened his mouth to interrupt Tai Shu Shi and said, “I have the Golden Cicada Fruit.”
When Tai Shu Shi heard the words of Ning Cheng, he suddenly paused, it was as if he had forgotten his own words, and looked at Ning Cheng with a disbelieving look on his face: “Do you really have the Golden Cicada Fruit?”
Ning Cheng took out a wooden box and passing it to Tai Shu Shi said, “You can take a look.”
Tai Shu Shi grabbed the box in excitement, when he discovered that there was indeed a stub of Golden Cicada Fruits inside, he immediately burst into laughter and said, “We are saved from all the trouble to look for it, Brother Ning, we only need to find the Blue Tea Grass, then we can proceed to refine the True Condensation Pill. With the materials for the True Condensation Pill on me, I already have a way to find the Blue Tea Grass, plus we also have the means to ask someone to help us refine the Blue Tea Grass on a refining furnace. The Golden Cicada Fruit that you picked before, when it’s about time to refine the Pill, you can take it out again.”
Ning Cheng did not take the wooden box back from Tai Shu Shi when he was giving it back, rather he just smiled and said, “Brother Tai Shu, as you said it before, we feel like old friends. It would be better to keep the Golden Cicada Fruit on you, after you are able to refine the Pill, you can just give me one of the Pills OK.”
Ning Cheng was confident that he was not wrong, Tai Shu Shi was not a person who would disappear after obtaining a Golden Cicada Fruit. If he really misread him, then he could only blame his faulty eyes.
Tai Shu Shi also did not continue to decline, after he took back the wooden box, he said to Ning Cheng, “Brother Ning, for you to hand over such a thing to your friend. You can be assured that this Tai Shu Shi will not let you down.”
The more the two people chatted with each other, the more they felt sorry for not have met earlier.
Ning Cheng was a novice when it came to cultivation, all of his theories were just a patchwork that he had put together himself, which he had inferred from the Jade Pieces that he had obtained from Fang Jiyan. There were still many small details missing and also a lot many mistakes, under the mutual discussion with Tai Shu Shi he was finally able to confirm his theories, and both were benefitted greatly. There were even some plain truths that he was not able to understand previously but was now able to suddenly understand.
Tai Shu Shi was completely shocked in his heart because of the genius like brain of Ning Cheng, he was completely opposite of Ning Cheng, as Ning Cheng did not understand some of the basic things regarding one’s cultivation. But what he does not understand was how was he able to understand the issues of extended Cultivation Methods, he had originally brought out a topic to discuss with Ning Cheng, and actually did not think that Ning Cheng would be able to find a correct direction for him in the Cultivation Method.
After chatting for a while, Tai Shu Shi ascertained that Ning Cheng’s accomplishments in the future would certainly would not be ordinary.
“Brother Tai Shu, you said that your ancestor Yi left behind some information while crossing through planes, can you show it to me?” Ning Cheng felt that now that he and Tai Shu Shi had talked to each other to this degree, he should be able to ask about some of the information regarding the planes without any issues.
Tai Shu Shi revealed an apologetic expression and said, “Brother Ning, I too have heard of this from the mouth of my uncle, there is no actual record left behind, if I really did have them I would have definitely taken it out for Brother Ning to see. It is also because it is passed down through the word of mouth, the Cultivation Method of my Tai Shu family is becoming increasingly scarce and weak.”
Ning Cheng gave a disappointed expression, he really had wanted to know what exactly was this plane, and to see if in the future would he be able to return to Earth.
Seeing Ning Cheng somewhat disappointed, Tai Shu Shi hesitated a bit and then said, “Brother Ning, I also know some bits and pieces of this plane. According to the inheritance of my Tai Shu Clan, the same plane can have innumerable stars and innumerable mainlands. This plane and the plane that we are from are inherently different, I heard that if you could cultivate to the extreme in the Yi Xing mainland, you would be able to fly to another mainland. But even if you were able to soar up to another mainland, you would still be amongst the same plane.”
“For a common cultivator, even if their cultivation level was very high, it would be very difficult to go from just one mainland to another mainland even within the same plane. Because my ancestor Tai Shu Yi faced a catastrophe and ended up injured, he arrived at Yi Mainland from another plane, which was a different plane from where he was. Moreover, when he arrived at the Yi Xing Mainland, his physical body was already almost completely destroyed, only a trace of his Essence Spirit existed. His physical body is still in the Yi Xing mainland and is remoulding itself as we speak.”
“That is not much different.” Ning Cheng muttered, he does not know if the Earth and the Yi Xing mainland were even in the same plane. According to what Tai Shu Shi said, this plane resembled quite a bit to the galaxy that Earth resides in. If Earth and the Yi Xing mainland were in the same galaxy, then if he was able to cultivate to a certain extent, then in the future maybe he would be able to go back.
If they were not in the same plane, then he estimated that he would forever not have the opportunity to go back.
Tai Shu Shi said, “Even the concept of time is completely different in different planes, we have been in this plane for several millennia, but if we were to go to some other plane then perhaps only a few days would have elapsed. Of course, this is just the information that has been passed down through my clan. After having been passed down for so many years, how much of it is true, or how much of it is false, even I do not know.”
Ning Cheng suddenly hoped that the Yi Xing Mainland and the Earth were in the same plane, even if they were not in the same plane, then he would definitely cultivate to his best in the Yi Xing Mainland no matter how long it takes to get back, it was uncertain that maybe just maybe only a short amount of time would have passed on Earth.
As the two of them spoke amongst each other, while flying, coupled with resting along the way, the two days flashed by without even noticing.
“Brother Ning, we are going to approach the city soon, we do not have to continue to fly. After walking for an hour or two, we can go to a Relay Station, at the Relay Station we can hire a Beast Carriage to go to the Xi Jie City.” Tai Shu Shi said as he got down from the mountain track and simultaneously put away his Flying Sword.

Standing outside, the Xi Jie City, Ning Cheng could feel that this city was even inferior to the Nan Yua
n City. Regardless of if it was the structure or the way it was laid out, it appeared to be somewhat low key.
After entering the Xi Jie City, one could immediately see that the main street was extremely spacious, which made Ning Cheng feel a little better when he compared the Xi Jie City to the Nan Yuan City.
“Brother Tai Shu, although the streets of the Xi Jie City are actually very wide, but it does not look very prosperous.” Ning Cheng saw that although the streets of the city were very wide there were not many shops around, with no shops around, the people who come and go through here would certainly be in a hurry, and would not stay here for much long.
Tai Shu Shi gave a laugh and said, “Brother Ning, all the people who know me call me as Stone, you can also call me as Stone. The reason why there are few people here, is because of the rule made by the Blue Flame 4 Star Academy, that this street cannot have any commercial stores. Because this is the road that leads directly to the Blue Flame 4 Star Academy, and the people from the Academy believe that if there were shops here then it would affect the students of the Blue Flame 4 Star Academy.”
“Why is it so bossy?” Ning Cheng subconsciously asked, because to get to the Academy they would have to pass through this road, doesn’t it mean that they control the main road?
Tai Shu Shi hurriedly pulled Ning Cheng and said, “Brother Ning, you should pay attention to what you speak, once what you spoke became known to the Blue Flame 4 Star Academy, then you would have to cut off your own tongue.”
Ning Cheng nodded, but he actually started to despise the Blue Flame 4 Star Academy in his heart. And said to Tai Shu Shi with a smile, “You also do not need to call me as Brother Ning, you can also directly call me by my name.”
“Good.” Tai Shu Shi said without hesitation, pulling Ning Cheng from the wide main road, he started to walk down, but after just walking about 10 meters down the road, he once again entered another street. This street was much livelier, and was surrounded by shops and people.
Tai Shu Shi brought Ning Cheng to the front of a red door of a big mansion and stopped.
“Stone, what are you doing here?” Ning Cheng asked with a bit of confusion when he saw the three characters on the red door saying ‘Yi Shui Courtyard’. There was even a pair of couplets on both sides of the red door, “To ask the gentlemen about their worries, for them to leave our Yi Shui pleased.’.
This one was clearly a couplet that meant that as long as there was someone in distress, they can always come to the Yi Shui Courtyard to experience pleasure. This was a place that relieves one’s sadness and elevates their mood slowly. Even in Cang Le City these types of places were quite numerous, and were the favourites of many of the adventurers and even a few occasional cultivators. To put it bluntly this place was a fancy brothel.
After waiting for a while, although Tai Shu Shi arrived at the door, did he really plan to go inside? This place was for adventurers, Tai Shu Shi was a cultivator, moreover was also a Tier 1 Ordinary Pill Master, it would not be difficult for him to find a woman, so why would he come to this Yi Shui Courtyard?
Seeing the doubt in Ning Cheng’s eyes, Tai Shu Shi knew that Ning Cheng had guessed his intentions, and said with a rare shyness in his voice, “Ning Cheng, you guessed right. There is a woman here that I like, each time I come back, I will always go look for her first.”
Ning Cheng looked at Tai Shu Shi in a puzzling way and asked, “Since you like this woman so much, then why don’t you take her away from here and settle down in another place? Why would you even keep the woman you love here?”
“Take her back?” Tai Shu Shi looked at Ning Cheng in surprise, “I am just Tier 1 Ordinary Pill Master, and only can come here occasionally to see her, where would I even get Spirit Stones to free her?”
This time it was Ning Cheng’s turn to be shocked, he had never heard a place that used Spirit Stones as payment, didn’t such places require only gold coins?
Tai Shu Shi saw the puzzled look on Ning Cheng, and explained, “This Yi Shui Courtyard was founded by a very mysterious character, the women who work here have one of the best cultivation levels you can find outside the Academy. And there are even a few who cultivate a special kind of Cultivation Method, and are thus extremely provocative and tender looking. However, the price for them is also very high, the women who cultivate these special Cultivation Methods usually receives guests for a minimum price of 10 Spirit Stones per guest.”
“Each time you have to spend 10 Spirit Stones just to see a woman, is that even necessary?” Ning Cheng asked in disbelief, 10 Spirit Stones in a Lower Class Continent was quite expensive.
Tai Shu Shi shook his head and spoke in a lonely voice, “My Lian’e does not cultivate this special Cultivation Method, thus the price of meeting her is also quite cheap, each time it only requires 2 Spirit Stones. However, since my level of my Alchemy is very low, so wanting to meet her is not easy. If I wanted to free her, then just a few Spirit Stones are not enough, you also require the approval of the managers of the Yi Shui Courtyard. Let’s go in together, I still have a few Spirit Stones with me, so I would be able to help you out a bit here.”
Ning Cheng silently patted Tai Shu Shi’s shoulders and said, “You go in, I’ll go look for a place for us to rest. It is not easy to always carry this Spear on my back.”
He had been running through the Daan Forest for several months, although he was a cultivator at the Qi Gathering 9th Level, but he still would feel tired after continuously using up his energy.
Tai Shu Shi was just about to speak, when suddenly a woman in a pink dress rushed out from the inside of the Yi Shui Courtyard. This woman was delicate and seductive, and needless to say was pleasing to the eye, as soon as she came out she pulled Tai Shu Shi and anxiously said, “Stone, how come you did not return till now, go and immediately attend to Sister Lian’e, she is already crying herself blind.”
Hearing that his Lian’e was crying herself blind, Tai Shu Shi immediately asked with anxiousness in his voice, “What’s wrong with her? What is the matter?”
He did not wait for the pink dressed lady to answer him, and hurriedly rushed in. While rushing inside he seemed to have remembered Ning Cheng, and hastily said to the pink dressed woman, “This young master is my friend Ning Cheng, please look after him, I’ll come back in a short while and settle the account.”
Watching Tai Shu Shi entering the Yi Shui Pleasure Courtyard, Ning Cheng had to put a stop to his idea of wanting to leave.
“Young Master Cheng, is it your first time to come to our Yi Shui Courtyard? You can come with me; I believe that I will definitely be able to satisfy you.” The beautiful and slender woman came near Ning Cheng and simultaneously reached out and pulled on Ning Cheng’s sleeves.
Ning Cheng grimaced, it was not that he did not like the woman, it was because the way that this woman in the pink dress spoke in an extremely coy tone with him, which made him a bit uncomfortable. This woman looked delicate and graceful, and to top it off she also had a voice that was pleasant to the ears, which made people who heard her coy tone to immediately develop a crush on her.
“All right, can you bring me to a clean room, and also bring me a pot of tea, I want to rest for a while.” Ning Cheng decided to wait there for a short while.
He understood the urgency of Tai Shu Shi, initially when he used to see Tian Mu Wan restless, even he would have an anxious and fretful mood. For such a thing to happen to the person they like, this kind of thing would definitely incite an anxious mood in them.
“My name is Liu Han Yu; Young Master Cheng can call me Han Yu right away.” The woman in pink dress showed a shy expression, as she brought Ning Cheng to a room on the second floor.
To Ning Cheng’s surprise, this room also contained a low level Spiritual Gathering Array, and as such the Spiritual Qi inside was a lot richer and concentrated when compared to the outside, it seems like spending 2 Spirit Stones here was actually not unjust.
The lights in the room were relatively dim
, and the large queen sized bed was especially conspicuous. On the bedside, there was even a white jade tea table.
Ning Cheng had just glanced at the room once, when Liu Han Yu came close to him and stuck tightly to Ning Cheng, and called out in a low sensual voice, “Young Master, this is my room. Originally I was off today, but when I saw Young Master Cheng, my heart immediately started to flutter……”
Ning Cheng knew that Liu Han Yu was faking it, but as he was being squeezed by her soft mounds on her body, he could feel his mouth feel parched and tongue scorched. She was even more tempting and attractive than Su Zhu, coupled with the dim lighting in the room, Liu Han Yu unexpectedly aroused a fire in Ning Cheng’s heart.
Liu Han Yu was also just as excited, she had stayed in Yi Shui Courtyard for almost a year, what types of people did she not see? But with such a clean man like Ning Cheng, it was a first for her to encounter such a man. The Mysterious Yellow Origin had thoroughly washed his body down to the marrow, making him look and feel incomparably clean and fresh. It was also because of this, that Liu Han Yu could tell from just a glance that Ning Cheng had a body of a virgin. Such a man, even if he were to make her pay, she was absolutely willing to be his escort.
Liu Han Yu was well versed in the art of seduction, she felt that Ning Cheng should also have a pure heart. Her hand subconsciously moved towards Ning Cheng’s chest, while at the same time half of her chest was already sticking to Ning Cheng’s chest.
This kind of extremely soft sensation made Ning Cheng to lift his hand a bit, wanting to grab the softness in his hands, but he only raised his hand about halfway, before putting it down once again. The broken Spear that he kept on his back rapidly started to twinkle with a Spear Shadow before it gradually vanished, making him realise that he did not come here to have a good time. Even if he wanted to find a woman, he would not lose his first time in such a place.
He gently pushed away Liu Han Yu, and walked to the side of the Jade table and sat down on the bed, “Would you please sit down first, I want to ask you something.”
