The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  “You actually have a Profound Grade Spear Technique……” Xun Shun immediately understood the situation.

  What Ning Cheng cultivated was a complete Cultivation Method, so him using his Spiritual Sense was not strange. Since he cultivated a complete Cultivation Method, then even if he was in the Qi Gathering Realm, he could still easily get rid of the Flying Sword of his opponent.

  Ning Cheng could easily break his Sword Light curtain, and as such had the absolute upper hand in the battle, not because his cultivation was of a higher quality that his opponents, but because he also had a Profound Grade Spear Technique to complement it and bring out his full power.

  “Puff Puff….” several bloody spurts flew out from Xun Shun’s body.

  This Xun Shun did not think even in his wildest dreams that Ning Cheng would have even mastered a Profound Grade Spear Technique, even if he knew about it beforehand, and was able to do everything possible to protect himself, he knew that he would still have been pierced through by several Spear Lights.

  But at the moment he was not afraid of Ning Cheng, as he took out a pill and threw it into his mouth, then stretched out his tongue and licked the blood that splashed onto his mouth. At this point of time in his eyes appeared a crazy fire, he completely forgot about the four women that had escaped. No woman could be more important than a Profound Grade Technique, what he wanted the most was the Profound Grade Spear Technique that was on Ning Cheng’s body.

  Xun Shun did not continue to use his Flying Sword again, but rather slapped his Storage Bag that was hung at his waist, immediately some old looking copper coins appeared in his hands.

  “Die for me.” Xun Shun’s mouth curled into a sneer, as he brought up those old looking copper coins as if he was offering it to someone.

  These old looking copper coins immediately enlarged to the size of a dustpan with a square shaped hole in their centre, the next moment, it seemed that the air that was passing through the square shaped holes seemed to have stagnated.

  Ning Cheng felt his own hand sink, the broken Spear in his hands suddenly felt extremely heavy. Ning Cheng immediately knew, that it was because of the old looking copper coins that Xun Shun had taken out. He forcibly gathered the Qi in his body, and wanted to once again send out an attack using the 36 Ice Spear Technique.

  But just as he gathered his Qi to execute the 36 Ice Spears Technique, he immediately felt both his hands go numb, his hands unexpectedly could not hold the broken Spear, and he was immediately pushed away by a powerful force that surrounded him.

  The next moment, he saw that his Spear directly flew through the square hole in the centre of one of the old looking copper coins.

  When the Spear left his hands, he found that the heavy feeling in his hands also instantly vanished.

  Xun Shun immediately chuckled, and once again brought up his Flying Sword and shot out three Sword Lights. Two of the Sword Light completely sealed up Ning Cheng’s route of escape, while the third Sword Light was aimed at Ning Cheng’s waist, it was clear that he wanted to slice Ning Cheng into two.

  The Sword Light was extremely fast, plus now that he had lost his Spear, Ning Cheng did not have any room to block it, at this time what Ning Cheng wanted the most was a defensive weapon. If there was defensive weapon on him, he would not have to fear this Sword Light from his opponent, so he could only choose to rush towards him.

  Looking at Xun Shun, his complexion was extremely pale, even the Flying Sword in his hands was trembling, it was obvious that those old looking copper coins needed a lot of his True Essence to control them.

  Seeing the Sword Light aimed at his waist, Ning Cheng swung his hands as if it were an axe.

  When the Axe Fist hit the Sword Light, it stopped it for a moment, and resulted in most of its power dissipating and it also eased up the pressure on Ning Cheng, but it still struck on Ning Cheng’s waist.

  Xun Shun secretly sighed in relief, he definitely did not want Ning Cheng to die so quickly, but Ning Cheng’s fierceness was something completely unexpected to him. Now that he was facing his Sword Light, even if his opponent was more ruthless than him, his only fate was to be cut down in the middle.

  “Swoosh” a sound of leather being struck could be heard, as Ning Cheng sprayed out a mouthful of blood, but abruptly did not retreat.

  Xun Shun looked at the still intact Ning Cheng, and could see the exposed armour that was revealed on Ning Cheng’s waist, he immediately knew what had happened.

  Even if the Qi in his body was almost exhausted, he still once more gathered the rest of Qi and sent out another Sword Light, he wanted to strike at Ning Cheng once again.

  Ning Cheng grabbed the broken Spear that was swept away, while simultaneously used his 7 Pleiades Ice Needle Technique. But his 7 Pleiades Ice Needle was not aimed at his opponent’s incoming Sword Light, but rather it was aimed at his opponent with the intent of splitting him.

  He had never met this kind of situation before, but he could see that his opponents combat experience was not very rich. Now that he knew that those old looking copper coins were the ones that were responsible for separating him from his Spear, how could Ning Cheng wait for his opponent to use it once more. While this Xun Shun had sent out the Sword Light from his Flying Sword, at the same time his 7 Pleiades Ice Needle had already crossed the distance between the two of them.

  Only when the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle penetrated into his chest, did Xun Shun came to know that he was assassinated, and immediately called out in horror, “How could this be, why didn’t my Five Treasure Fall Copper Coins not sweep away this Artefact…….”

  A powerful destructive force was wreaking havoc in his body, Xun Shun came to understand, that if he did not get help immediately he would definitely die here.

  A bright red light emerged from his body, this light was like that of a meteor, as it shot out from Xun Shun’s hand.

  “What’s going on?” Xun Shun cried out as he saw the bright red light that he had shot out to call for reinforcements had completely turned around just when it had only travelled 30 feet.

  Ning Cheng immediately made the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle in his body to twist savagely, as Xun Shun’s eyes immediately lost their lustre, he was still not willing to die as he kept staring at Ning Cheng, he really could not figure out how could he die by the hands of a mere Qi Gathering kid.

  “I am also an Array Formations Master, before you came in, I arranged a small scale Killing Array Formation, to stop shameless people like you to call for help, idiot.” Ning Cheng spoke as he blasted a punch out.

  Xun Shun was directly blow away by the force of Ning Cheng’s punch, but this time when he fell down, he was already a corpse. The bright red light that was blocked by the Array Formation, also stopped and dissipated in an instant.

  Ning Cheng with his fastest speed put away everything, even the airship Type Artefact that Xun Shun came in was directly put in his Storage Bag, after collecting all the things he quickly left.

  Originally Ning Cheng and Tai Shu Shi were supposed to meet up with each other in three days, as he was worried that this Xun Shun would definitely call for reinforcements. If the reinforcements that he called for were too strong, he had even planned to temporarily escape to the Daan Forest. Now that Xun Shun had already been killed by him, and even the SOS signal that he had sent out was blocked, it gave a bit of relief to Ning Cheng. Since he and Tai Shu Shi and the others have not been separated for a long time, so he thought that he should be able to catch up with them.

  However, after two hours, Ning Cheng stopped, he felt that something was wrong. He was obviously chasing the traces Tai Shu Shi left behind, but after coming here, he could not even find a single trace.

  Ning Cheng tried to find the traces of Tai Shu Shi all around, but even after looking
carefully he could not even find half a clue as to his whereabouts.

  After quite a while of searching, Ning Cheng finally left that place, he decided to wait for them near the edges of the Thunder Fall Desert. He had already given the map to Tai Shu Shi, and he also knew that to go to the Hua Continent, Tai Shu Shi would have to go through the Thunder Fall Desert, and so would definitely pass through one of the entrances marked on the map.

  ……

  From the Yuan Continent to the Hua Continent, whether by flying or by walking, one must go through the Thunder Fall Desert.

  On the outskirts of the Thunder Fall Desert, there were actually three small towns, Thunder Fall Town, Moon Sand Town and Firefly Town.

  Of these three towns, the liveliest and the largest was the Thunder Fall Town. Every year there were countess cultivators arriving here from the Thunder Fall Desert. Besides the handful of people who come to the Thunder Fall Desert to look for treasures, most of the people here come to this town to pass through the Thunder Fall Desert to go to the Hua Continent.

  But it was quite a well-known fact, that the number of people who can successfully cross the Thunder Fall Desert and enter the Hua Continent were truly very few. As many people would end up dying in the Thunder Fall Desert, as a result since a long time, this Thunder Fall Desert was also called by another name, the Bone Desert. Because once you went inside the desert, you could see the dense quantities of bones of the dead cultivators scattered around. The number of cultivators who died here were simply too many.

  Even then, the number of people entering the Thunder Fall Desert never decreased, and arrived wave after wave.

  Ning Cheng had the simple map that he had obtained from Kou Hong, so he did not enter the Thunder Fall Town, but rather entered the Moon Sand Town. This Moon Sand town, compared to the other two towns on the edges of the Thunder Fall Desert, had fewer resources and was far from the bustling atmosphere in the Thunder Fall Town.

  Ning Cheng who was rushing with all his might, in one month arrived outside the Moon Sand Town. In this entire month, he never took out the things that he had obtained from the black robed Xun Shun from his Storage Bag to check them out. The main reason for that was of course to arrive at Moon Sand Town as early as possible, once he arrived at the Moon Sand Town, he could then wait patiently for Tai Shu Shi, if there was any problem, then he could easily run into the Thunder Fall Desert at the first sign of trouble.

  Mixing himself with some wary adventurers that had also just arrived, Ning Cheng finally stepped into the Moon Sand Town just as the sun started to set.

  Compared to the liveliness of Thunder Fall Town, Moon Sand Town looked somewhat desolate. Ning Cheng was certain that with his speed, he would definitely have arrived here earlier than Tai Shu Shi. All he had to do now was to wait for Tai Shu Shi in Moon Sad Town, and while waiting for him he could even refine the two Artefacts that he had obtained from before, while simultaneously preparing to advance to the True Condensation Realm.

  Whether it was those old copper coins, or that piece of airship Type Artefact both of them were really good items, and it made Ning Cheng to very much look forward to refining them, relatively speaking, he actually did not care much of the red Flying Sword.

  There were very few pedestrians on the streets of Moon Sand Town and even the communication between them was very sparse.

  Ning Cheng found a small unassuming place to rest, such type of unassuming dwellings was common for cultivators in this town, moreover such kinds of rest stops were very common in the Moon Sand Town. These cultivators would generally go out for several months for a trip and once they came back they would choose to seclude themselves, only when their resources for their cultivation were exhausted, would they once again leave Moon Sand Town. This went on again and again, until the day that they die.

  The resources for cultivation in the Thunder Fall Desert were very few, and not everyone could undertake the task to go out searching for them. Although they knew of this, many cultivators would still choose this life, also because they did not have any other choice.

  Ning Cheng was looking with some interest at his rest stop, it was called the Moon River, in this Moon Sand Town, this type of building like Moon River was something very common and would not attract any attention. Moreover, in this building, there were only a few scattered cultivators who looked very deadbeat.

  Ning Cheng did not care much about it, after he entered his room, he immediately put up closed sign on the door, while he arranged several Array Formations inside the room, there were Concealment Array Formations, Defensive Array Formations…….

  Once all the Array Formations were completed, Ning Cheng first took out the old copper coins. These old copper coins had pulled away his Spear during his battle, which immediately surprised Ning Cheng. If he did not have the 7 Pleiades Ice Needle and the inner armour, then perhaps he would have been killed by Xun Shun.

  This was mainly because his opponent lacked experience, but these old copper coins gave him a huge headache.

  Refining these old copper coins was very difficult, and Ning Cheng almost took up 10 days just for that, it was only when he successfully refined the Restriction on one of the coins, did he come to understand why Xun Shun had to expunge so much strength and Qi to try and control this Artefact. That Xun Shun was only a cultivator at the True Condensation 2nd Level and coupled with his limited Spiritual Sense, it ended up extremely difficult for him to control it.

  These old copper coins were called the Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coins.

  It was no wonder that his Spear was taken away by these copper coins, it turned out that this Artefact had a special magic imbued in it which can pull away other Artefacts, this Artefact really went against the heavens. Unfortunately, these old copper coins had a fatal flaw, it was that it could only snatch the Artefact that were constructed using the five elements. The 7 Pleiades Ice Needle was refined from the stingers of Shadow Bees, and as such did not fall in the category of the five elements, as such these copper coins could not snatch them.

  In any case, this was really a treasure, moreover it was a great treasure that he could use. As for the Restrictions on the rest of them, Ning Cheng did not continue to refine it, he planned to re-refine it later when he had the free time.

  Compared to the Five Elements Treasure Fall Copper Coins, the airship Type Artefact that he had acquired from Xun Shun was much easier to refine, Ning Cheng had only spent half a day to refine it, he not only refined this airship Type Artefact, but at the same time he also acquired the knowledge on how to operate the airship on his own.

  As for the red Flying Sword, after just refining it for a bit, he threw it into his Storage Bag, he did not like Flying Swords much.

  Then Ning Cheng finally took out the Storage Bag that he had taken from the black robed Xun Shun. Back in the Yi Shui Courtyard, this Xun Shun was extremely generous, so Ning Cheng was rather looking forward to the contents in his Storage Bag.

  Ning Cheng did not have to spend much time in lifting the Restrictions on the Storage Bag, but when he swept the Storage Bag with his Spiritual Sense, he immediately became disappointed.

  Going by the way that Xun Shun spent his Spirit Stones, Ning Cheng thought that he would at least have 30-40 thousand Spirit Stones in his Storage Bag, but in fact, his Storage Bag only had about 10,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones. If this man had bought Liu Han Yu and Lian’e, then he would then only have about 2,000 Spirit Stones left with him.

  But in this Storage Bag there were actually several jade bottles filled with pills, and even more Jade Pieces. Ning Cheng took out one of the Jade Pieces, and swept through it with his Spiritual Sense, it was exactly how he had guessed. These Jade Pieces recorded information on how to use the cultivation of women as their own. Thus from this it could be seen, that Xun Shun’s master was also not a good person.

  Sweeping through the rest of the Jade Pieces, Ning Cheng found that they were all of the same type. So Ning Cheng felt disgusted with
them and immediately burned them with his Fireball Technique, since he was from Earth, he could not come to accept such methods that existed in this world.

  After obtaining the 10,000 Spirit Stones and coupled with his own 12 Thousand Spirit Stones that he had on him, Ning Cheng decided to finally attack the True Condensation Realm. Once he advances to the True Condensation Realm, he would then go out to look for Tai Shu Shi in the Moon Sand Town.

  After the Spirit Stones were changed into powder by the usage of Ning Cheng, most of the dissipating aura from the Spirit Stones was blocked by the Array Formations that he had set up previously, although there was a part of the aura that the Array Formations could not block off. However, for the cultivators staying in this rest stop, this circulation of the Spiritual Qi, was not something that they would feel strange about.

  One month later, Ning Cheng finally exited his room and went out to purchase some food before returning back to his room again. At this time, he was already at the peak of the Qi Gathering 9th Level, and was ready to finally advance to the True Condensation Realm.

  Taking out the True Condensation Pill, Ning Cheng could feel that the entire Qi in his body immediately turned restless, Ning Cheng knew that he was finally truly ready to start the process to advance to the True Condensation Realm. Not feeling hurried in his heart, he started to slowly operate his Cultivation Method and started to transform the Qi in his body into True Essence.

  With his complete Cultivation Method, and his cultivation level of peak stage Qi Gathering 9th Level, the Qi in his body in just a short while started to show signs of transforming into True Essence. Now with the help of the True Condensation Pill, which helped in starting the transformation of his Qi, he did not face much difficulty.
